Chapter 1255 Thirty Years of Searching for the Sword (Part 1)
"...'Golden Eyes Thousand Lings' is well-deserved. After so many years...it still runs so fast."
It was already half past, and the falling sunlight was not very strong. At the foot of Jiuxian Mountain, beside the road near Heyun Pond, Tie Tianying looked at the gray-robed man in the small tea shed, with a little surprise on his face, and even a hint of surprise on his face.
surprise.
Due to the pre-arranged layout, the owner of the shop was not seen in the simple tea shed. The man in gray robe pulled down his concealing mask, revealing a black and white staggered beard and a face that did not look old.
"Golden Eyes with Thousand Feathers", this name given to him by the green forest, firstly, it said that he has keen perception and vision as bright as a torch; secondly, he said that his methods are changeable and full of wisdom; thirdly, he praised his lightness and strength.
Touzhong is younger than Tie Tianying, but he is already in his fifties now.
"It's hard to run now that you're old," he said.
"I knew that one of my own was here this time." Tie Tianying walked over slowly and smiled, "Have you ever suspected you...who is Brother Fan's boss today?"
"Eat people's money, relieve people's worries, don't ask." Fan Zhong picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea on both sides.
Tie Tianying sat down at the table and said: "Brother Fan, come to our side. Now is a good time. The Holy Emperor is in charge..."
Fan Zhong waved his hand.
"Brother Tie, can you guess what my plan is today?"
"Probably know."
"But you still came."
"I have a smoke and rocket order in my sleeve. As soon as I issue it, the officers and soldiers in the city will be there in an instant. I saw the arrangements around you. You can't die in an instant. But you are targeted by me. If you want to escape into Jiuxian Mountain, you can't."
It’s not easy, just take the risk.” Tie Tianying smiled, talked eloquently, and then paused, “Moreover, I’m getting older, and the world has been bad these years. It’s not easy for me to see my former colleagues.
Just want to reminisce about old times."
Fan Dian nodded, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.
"I remember that Brother Tie used a sword."
"I practiced swordsmanship when I was young." Tie Tianying said, "Later I became the chief arrester of the six sects. I felt that I was a noble person and started to use swords. That giant sword is expensive and a good sword. Now I don't pay attention to these things..."
"Haha." Fan Zhong shook his head and laughed, "Back then, you and I both felt that it would be extremely difficult for my generation of warriors to go up to the head of the Criminal Department to arrest them. At that time, I was not willing to give in. I wanted to make progress and make good friends with the Zuo family.
Who knows, Zuo Jilan is nothing more than a silver pewter spearhead, Zuo Houwen... is useless, he is unworthy of being called a great scholar, and when Zuo Duanyou gets angry, he is done without spitting out any bubbles... But you, you can't think of Northwest
Yi Xing, you hugged Li Pin's thigh, and now... you have become the most precious one among us."
"...Today is different from the past." Tie Tianying thought for a moment and shook his head, "As I said before, why don't Brother Fan come to work here? In the past, warriors were not reused, but it is different now. If you come here, you will be better in the future.
It may be that we cannot be princes for eternity."
"The Wu Dynasty was so powerful back then, with a vast territory and hundreds of millions of people. Now you are dealing with some country gentry in this small southeastern place and you can't win. How dare you say that the princes will last forever?"
"Your Majesty is working hard to clean up the accumulated shortcomings and rebuild the bones, so he is temporarily weak. Now is the time to build up a team. Whether it is to join the team or to join the team, those who can come in now will make contributions in the future, and they will be no different from the founding heroes. Brother Fan
, To say the least, His Majesty did not have no choice. He did have a choice, but he chose the most difficult path. You and I would lick blood from our swords and fight for half our lives. How could we not know that this is the most incredible courage in the world?" Tie Tianying
He said, "You and I have been seeking fame and fame for half our lives, and now it's the right time to come here."
The sun was setting, and on the loess road next to the tea shed, a pedestrian walking with an ox passed by. He turned to look at the two people sitting opposite the wooden table in the tea shed. Fan Zhong was silent for a moment.
"A year ago, Chen Lianyi came to your place and was beheaded by you."
"Today is different from the past. What is said is that if a person can be a good person and an official can be a good official, he will also have a good career in the future. Chen Lianyi accepted money in my name and bullied men and women. Naturally, I want to kill him.
He set an example to others. Brother Fan had great ambitions back then, but I remember that he was different from Zong Feixiao."
Fan Zhong laughed. He poured the tea, took a sip, and laughed for a while. When he spoke again, his words were slightly lower.
"...Back then...when we assassinated Ning Yi in the northwest, you and I met for the last time. At that time, you protected Li Pin when he went south, and you got the fame you have today. Do you know how I lived?"
"..."
"The shame of Jingping, when the mountains and seas were searched, the Central Plains had long been in chaos. I had martial arts skills and was no longer in Liumen, so I lived a free and comfortable life... Brother Tie, like Zong Feixiao
What's wrong with living like that? Did I practice martial arts for forty years just to be a kuchou? To tell you the truth, after thinking about it, I did have a good life these years, and later I got along pretty well in Jiangnan.
That's right... now I have spread my branches and have many wives and concubines... but I can't reach your side anymore, Brother Tie, do you want to say more?"
"I see." Tie Tianying laughed, "Before I spoke, I was prepared and thought of it."
"Then why are you making so much noise?"
"As I said, when people get old, sometimes they want to reminisce with others." Tie Tianying raised his head and looked at him, "Fan Zhong, you and I were not good friends at Liumen back then, and now we are even more so.
I said, "My hair is as white as new." Do you think I'm really curious about your thoughts these years? No, but you have seen me when I was young. I just want to tell you, Fan Zhong, you must know that no matter your status,
Or in terms of personality, today's Iron Sky Eagle is far superior to you... This is the vanity in my heart, and today I will tell you dead people."
In the tea shed, Fan Zhong laughed "haha". Tie Tianying also laughed. The two had cooperated countless times since they were in their prime. As partners, they had witnessed the ups and downs of the Wu Dynasty in the thirty or forty years, from the assassination of Liu Dabiao to the Yongle Uprising.
, from the confrontation with the Manichaeans to the secret wars between various major clans, and then to the destruction of the world brought about by Ning Yi's regicide and the Jurchens' four trips south, by this moment, everyone has turned gray, even though their stance has completely changed.
It’s different, but after all, decades of time are reflected in the laughter.
Fan Zhong waved his hand to roll up the hot tea on the table. Tie Tianying waved his sleeves and waved the tea, cup and pot to the sky. Under Fan Zhong's body, his footsteps seemed to sink into the ground, his fists sank, and his gray robe
The roll dance was like the ripples of the ocean waves. He rushed out with a punch and directly hit Tie Tianying on the opposite side. The table between the two people turned into pieces, flying overwhelmingly, but Tie Tianying had already stood up. He drew his sword and slashed furiously.
It wasn't just the wooden boards of the table that flew up in the air. The next moment he swung his fist, an iron fan rushed out from Fan Zhong's side following the fist. The other hand also drove the small stove beside the table, causing
The sky full of charcoal fire flew towards Tie Tianying. He was nicknamed "Golden Eyes Qianling". He was a man full of scheming and changeable methods. As the tea was first poured out, all the objects at hand were gone at this moment.
It rolled towards Tie Tianying like a furious wave, and Tie Tianying's figure skyrocketed as he stood up, growing like a giant. The long knife in his hand slashed across the sky. In the blink of an eye, he slashed five simple swords in a row.
It's as strong as the roar of the waves.
Bang bang bang bang bang——
The iron fan in Fan Zhong's hand unfolded for a moment, spinning in the air like a giant umbrella, but then it converged. Under the light of Tie Tianying's sword, the tables and chairs that rushed toward him were shattered, and charcoal fire exploded. Fan Zhong waved the iron fan.
Fan retreated continuously, and when he stopped, even though he was holding the iron fan, the horror in his eyes could still be seen at this moment.
Tie Tianying threw the smoke rocket token and flew high into the sky. As he waved his hand, his figure seemed to be stepping over a cloud of smoke and dust. He said in his mouth: "After all these years, you are still doing tricks with no improvement."
.”
More than ten years have passed, and Fan Zhong certainly has not made any progress. He dared to come to Fuzhou and even used his body as a bait to lure the opponent out. Therefore, although he began to have fun in these more than ten years, he has always worked hard and practiced martial arts.
Without stopping, now in the outside world, the skill can be regarded as a master - Fan Zhong naturally understands that such a master is not worthy of the name, but as a thug like the six-door chief arrester in the past, the peak of skills that people can reach in their lifetime is probably
That is this level.
Further up, for figures such as Liu Dabiao, Zhou Tong, and Lin Zongwu who entered Taoism through martial arts, the six gates were just a strategy to surround and annihilate them.
But at this moment, Tie Tianying had gray hair on his head, but the long sword in his hand was extremely strong and simple. After becoming a high-ranking official in the imperial court and "pampering himself" for several years, his sword skills actually faintly stepped over the ordinary path.
The threshold that is difficult for people to cross has traces of following one's heart's desires and unifying all dharmas.
Fan Zhong laughed.
He understood the meaning of what the other party just said.
When he reaches old age, he wants to show his achievements to his former colleagues. In fact, this achievement is not the difference in official position and so-called personality, but also the improvement in martial arts that can be seen with the naked eye. As a former six
At this time, he left everyone behind and stepped into the realm of martial arts master. This was also a big bargaining chip for him to be willing to risk his life.
At this moment, not far behind the tea shed, in a small forest covered by a slope, a figure was rushing towards here, and even a few feet further away, there was even greater movement.
The person rushing towards the front was none other than "Divine Monk" Tun Yun.
Further away, there are several green forest masters whose martial arts are slightly inferior.
With the imperial court's control in the city today, reinforcements would indeed arrive soon after Tie Tianying's fireworks launched his arrow into the air. However, by combining the power of him and Tun Yun, plus several first-rate masters, they could fortify the enemy within a few breaths.
Killing Tie Tianying is what they are betting on today.
At the moment when many movements were heard, Tie Tianying naturally understood this moment. He just sneered and stepped forward. An astonishing murderous aura enveloped Fan Zhong.
Song Xiaoming was originally the disciple he trained to take over or even die. At this moment, the enemy was already in front of him.
Fan Zhong swallowed his saliva, calmed his mind, and stepped forward to meet him.
On one side of the field of vision, the swallowing cloud has not yet arrived.
The next moment the figure surged out, another strong wind roared out from behind the slope. A spear passed over the slope and stabbed into Tunyun's back. Tunyun changed his pace, dodged the spear, and struck a long shot.
, the figure of a woman with long legs also ran out from there with all her strength, intercepting him. It was Yue Yinping who was good at using five steps and thirteen spears.
Beside Yin Ping, another figure gritted his teeth and even burst out faster than her for a moment. He drank loudly and ran straight towards Fan Zhong.
——Yue Yun.
"Dare to be distracted—"
Loud bang——
The sword was slashing at him, and Fan Zhong held up his fan and retreated fiercely. He wanted to get rid of Tie Tianying, but the murderous intent was locked and suffocating. He heard the other party yell loudly: "It's all my leftovers to play with, how dare you come out and show your shame?"
——”
At the other side of the field of vision, Yue Yun was pushing Gu Gu with all his strength, charging the fiercest. In a blink of an eye, he was close, and he wanted to surround and kill him together with Tie Tianying. But Monk Tunyun was really powerful, his figure was soaring, and he flew towards him.
Zhong narrowed the distance with Yue Yun.
In the blink of an eye, three figures rushed over.
At this moment, Fan Zhong held an iron fan, Tie Tianying swung his sword, Yue Yun used his fists, Tunyun swung his iron sleeves, and Yin Ping held a gun. The five masters collided with each other in the blink of an eye. During the killing, the dead wood formed a
The tea shed exploded and flew to the side road.
Two farmers passing by with their burdens watched this scene with fear, and several people came from further away brandishing knives and guns.
…
The corner of Loess Road further away.
A young man with a sad face and another middle-aged Green Forest man with a bruised nose and face were walking side by side, and they saw this scene that shocked them.
Behind them, the short and strong little devil picked up a piece of calico and covered his face. He looked at the fighting scene on the street and the white-haired old man wielding a long knife.
It is no different from what my own military advisor said. That despicable little witch named Chen Shuangran really had such an unsavory idea...
The military advisor is awesome, the military advisor is beautiful, the military advisor is so cute!
He took two steps forward and kicked the young man who was hesitant to fly away, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Let's go, where is your boss..."
He shouted ferociously.
"I'm telling you, if we can't find anyone, you will die -"
There was a fight ahead, so he would hit them harder than those people! Scared these bastards to death——
