"A good man has his ambitions in all directions. You should leave here. Even if I am a little reluctant, I will not stop you." Shen Luoxia said softly.
"Sister, actually we can leave here together."
"This inn has a special meaning to me, and I don't want to leave just yet. If you want to go out and see the world, go by yourself. There is no way for a man to hang around my sister all day long."
"Since my sister is unwilling to leave, I have no choice but to go on the road alone." Zhao Zheng was slightly disappointed. In fact, he had mentioned this proposal many times, but Shen Luoxia never agreed.
Shen Luoxia raised her hand again, pressed it on Zhao Zheng's head, and warned: "Be careful when you go out. The rivers and lakes are full of treacherous things, and there are all kinds of people. There is a gap between people's hearts, so don't trust others easily. If so, you have to consider everything in your heart."
"Well, I will keep my sister's lesson in mind."
"Also, be especially careful with beautiful women. Just because someone looks good doesn't mean they are good-looking on the inside."
Nie Rong's image flashed through Zhao Zheng's mind. He was almost killed by this beautiful woman. He couldn't help but agree with his sister's words. He nodded and said, "I will not be swayed by beauty in the future."
"This is best." Shen Luoxia smiled. The beauty of her smile seemed to dispel the desolation of winter. She rubbed Zhao Zheng's head, took back the catkins, and then asked, "After you leave here, What are your plans? Where do you want to go to make a living?"
"I already have a plan. I want to go to 'Changchun Mansion'. There are outstanding people there. There are many great sects and martial arts masters. The scenery and climate are also very good. I have been yearning for it for a long time." Zhao Zheng replied truthfully. This was what he had done early in the morning It was planned that only by going there could he get the fastest growth rate and reap various benefits.
"You want to go that far? That's beyond the Beiji Province." Shen Luoxia was slightly surprised.
Dayan Kingdom is divided into four provinces, namely Dongsheng Province, Xiniu Province, Nanfang Province, and Beiju Province. Each of the four provinces occupies the east, west, north, and south, and each province has a very large area.
Qibao County is a small county in the north, located in Beiji Province, while Changchun is located in Nanfang Province in the south. The two places are thousands of miles apart. It takes two months just to travel, and you have to ride a fast horse. , if you walk, it will take more time.
The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles, and the eldest sister Shen Luoxia is the mother. Zhao Zheng has traveled so far all of a sudden, and it is inevitable that she feels a little worried.
"Although there are many places in Beida Province that I have never been to, I still want to visit Changchun Mansion." Zhao Zhengdao.
"Why do you have to go there?" Shen Luoxia asked puzzledly, "If you want to see the scenery, there are many good places in Beiji Province. If you want to increase your knowledge, going to the Imperial City is also a good choice. As for Changchun Mansion , it’s a bit too far.”
"Sister, I must have heard that there is a Sword-Forging Villa in Changchun Prefecture, which is famous for its weapon forging. I really want to go there and pay a visit. Although other places are good, there is only one Sword-Forging Villa. "
"Do you want to go to Sword Forging Villa to forge a weapon?"
"Well, I have this idea."
"If you want to forge weapons, the Sword Casting Villa is indeed a good choice. In terms of forging weapons, the only ones in Dayan that can compete with the Sword Casting Villa are the 'Iron Hammer Gang'."
"The weapons produced by the Sword Forging Villa have a better reputation than the Hammer Gang, so I am more inclined to go to the Sword Forging Villa."
"Since you have such an idea, I won't stop you. Going further will be a good experience for you." Shen Luoxia pondered for a while, "Changchun Mansion is next to Jinxiang Mansion. ', and the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley is within the Jinxiang Mansion, and there are many flower family activities around it. When you go out this time, be sure to bring the Ten Thousand Flowers Firecracker tube with you. It may come in handy when you encounter trouble."
"Well, I will always carry the kaleidoscopic firecracker tube with me in case of emergency."
"It is said that there is no harmony among the major forces in Changchun Mansion. Among them, the greatest conflict between the Taishan Sect and the Three Swordsmen Sect is the greatest. When you get there, be sure not to get involved in the fight between the sects, otherwise you will not be able to save even a few lives. .”
"Don't worry, sister, I won't meddle in other people's business." Zhao Zheng agreed half-heartedly. In fact, he had to participate in some disputes, otherwise he would not be able to achieve his goal.
"When do you plan to set off?"
"tomorrow."
Shen Luoxia lowered her brows and said with a wry smile: "Since you have decided to leave here, you might as well leave early. I will inform everyone right now to prepare a table of good wine and food, and we will practice it for you."
Shen Luoxia Yingying stood up, put away the banknotes, elixirs and other items properly, then went out of the house to find the clerk in the store, and told the story about Zhao Zheng's upcoming departure. After hearing this, everyone had different reactions. Reluctant to say goodbye. That night, Rentuzi cooked a table of wine and food, and the waiters in the store sat around to eat the farewell meal together.
During the dinner, Shen Luoxia took out the banknotes given by Zhao Zheng and distributed them to everyone according to Zhao Zheng's previous instructions, especially giving more to Song Kuaizui. At first, no one wanted the money, but after hearing what Zhao Zheng said The money came easily, so he no longer refused, and no one would object to the large amount of money. Because Song Kuaizui got the most money, he was the happiest of all, and praised Zhao Zheng endlessly, saying that Zhao Zheng never forgets to repay his kindness.
Everyone toasted to Zhao Zheng frequently, but Zhao Zheng couldn't refuse, so he had to take all the orders. He drank a full jar of Erhong in one meal. Even if he could use his internal energy to digest the alcohol, it was too much. His head was dizzy and his eyes were dizzy. All ghost images appeared.
Others also drank a lot, and everyone was so drunk that they didn't break up until late at night and went back to their houses.
Zhao Zheng was so top-heavy from drinking that he fell asleep when he returned to the room and fell asleep soon after.
After waking up, it was already noon the next day, much later than Zhao Zheng expected. There was a basin in his house, so he took some cold water and washed his face, refreshed himself, and then left the house.
Something was wrong with the inn today. The guests who were supposed to be resting or eating all gathered in the lobby on the first floor, standing close to one side, chatting happily, as if they were waiting to watch a good show. And Shen Luoxia, Song Kuaizui and the others put down their work and sat around, not knowing what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd.
In the hand of the Laughing Ghost King Er, there is an abacus. The beads are all made of iron and shining brightly. The butcher also has a kitchen knife in his hand and is wiping the snow-white blade with a rag. These two people They all held their usual weapons in their hands.
As soon as Zhao Zheng came out of the room, everyone's eyes immediately turned upward, focusing on him.
"Sister, what does this mean?" Zhao Zheng asked in surprise.
"You are leaving today, and I plan to try your skills with the others before you leave. In the Shaolin Temple, if a monk wants to go down the mountain and return to secular life, he must pass the test of the Eighteen Bronze Man Formation , you can only go down the mountain after defeating eighteen bronze men. Today I just want to follow the example of Shaolin Temple and set up a formation here to see if I can stop you. If you can defeat all of us, you can leave here. Go away and fly away. If you can't even defeat us, I will keep you for a while longer." Shen Luoxia replied with a smile.
"I see, if that's all, it doesn't hurt to have a discussion." Zhao Zheng suddenly understood and agreed. He has experienced several life-and-death battles and has long been accustomed to fighting with others.
Shen Luoxia didn't expect Zhao Zheng to agree so easily. She was a little surprised. After a pause, she continued: "Well, you can fight with the people in our inn one by one. Song Kuaisui, Smiling Ghost , Rentuzi and the others will stop you on the stairs, and I will stop you at the gate. If you can pass the blockage of all of us and walk out of the gate of Hongchen Inn, you will have passed." Shen Luoxia pointed with a smile. Pointing to the guests gathered on one side, he said, "After hearing about this, friends from all walks of life want to follow and watch the fun. When you do it, remember not to hurt them."
"Being respectful is better than obeying orders. Just do as my sister said. I'm going to pick up my luggage and sword now. If I can get through it in one go, I'll say goodbye to everyone directly." Zhao Zheng clasped his fists at everyone downstairs, cheered up, and returned to the room. . He picked up the luggage he had packed early in the morning and tied it on his shoulders. Then he grabbed the sword hanging on the bedside and tied it around his waist.
Zhao Zheng came out of the house again. At this time, the people outside had already taken action. Song Kuaizui blocked the stairs on the third floor, the Laughing Ghost blocked the stairs on the second floor, and the Human Butcher blocked the stairs on the first floor. mouth, while Shen Luoxia was still sitting downstairs, taking her time to drink the warm wine.
"Hehe, I know your martial arts has long surpassed mine, but now that the shopkeeper has spoken, I have to listen and have no choice but to fight with you. Please be gentler when you start, don't hurt my brother. I was injured." Song Kuaizui said with a smile.
"Well, I will pay attention." Zhao Zheng promised.
"Okay, let's do it. The guests downstairs can't wait to watch the excitement." Song Kuaisui opened his mouth, spread his legs slightly, lowered his body, stretched forward with one hand, and moved his fingers to signal. Zhao Zheng is recruiting.
Zhao Zheng's martial arts skills were far superior to Song Kuaizui's, and Song Kuaizui challenged him with bare hands, so he didn't draw his sword and just rushed forward with bare hands. When he got close, he used the "catching wind and shadow" move and reached out to grab Song Kuaizui's arm and heel. The clothing on his body. He intended to use moves to win, so he didn't use all his strength.
Song Kuaizui could barely keep up with Zhao Zheng's speed. He stared straight eyes, adjusted his body, avoided Zhao Zheng's hands, stepped to Zhao Zheng's side, and reached out to hug Zhao Zheng's neck. If this move was real, , enough to restrain a person.
Zhao Zheng stretched out one hand and raised it in front of him, just in time to stop Song Kuaizui's arm, and then he grabbed it, took a big step forward, and pulled Song Kuaizui to the ground. He just clicked. , immediately let go of his hand, said yes, and went down to the third floor.
The people downstairs saw that Zhao Zheng's shots were like lightning and he easily won. They all applauded and slapped their faces on pretending to be an expert.
The Laughing Ghost is sitting on the second floor. He is smiling and holding an iron abacus. This thing is his meal, and it is also his usual weapon. The abacus is not among the eighteen weapons. This special weapon has many moves.
They are often very special and elusive.
"I was the one who brought you to this inn, and I will send you away today. You're welcome, kid, just come here." The Laughing Ghost turned his hands twice, and a heavy abacus hit his wrist.
After a few turns, it seemed to have become a part of his body.
"I'm offended." Zhao Zheng still didn't use a weapon. He rushed forward with a lunge, raised his body, dropped one arm from above, and reached out to grab the Laughing Ghost's hair, like a chicken pecking at rice.
The Laughing Ghost swung the abacus to lift Zhao Zheng's wrist. The abacus crackled and danced in the wind, with considerable force. Zhao Zheng was forced to retract his hand and pushed his other hand forward. He had previously
It is a tentative feint. This move is still a feint and can produce many changes.
The Laughing Ghost flicked his little finger skillfully, and the abacus spun upside down. He supported the abacus with both hands and blocked Zhao Zheng's hand by relying on the abacus.
Zhao Zheng slapped the abacus with his palm, inserted his fingers into the beads, and with a strong force, he grabbed the abacus in his hand, not giving Wang Er a chance to use the abacus.
The Laughing Ghost took off his abacus, and without hesitation, he took down a few abacus beads and pinched them between his fingers. With a sharp look, he pointed two abacus beads at Zhao Zheng's chest. These beads could be
They are all made of iron and no one can bear being hit on them.
Zhao Zheng waved the abacus twice in succession, and heard two crisp "ding-dong" sounds. The two abacus balls were knocked to other places, and one of them fell into the wall. He stepped forward and launched an attack.
Using long strikes and short strikes, he swung forward with the abacus. Wang Er was forced to dodge sideways and looked for opportunities to throw the remaining abacus beads.
Zhao Zheng took action repeatedly, relying on abacus to suppress Wang Er, not giving Wang Er a chance to use hidden weapons. He took Luo Yan steps under his feet, walking faster and faster, and gradually got around Wang Er's back. He grabbed Wang Er
With the space behind him, he stuffed the abacus into the waistband of Queen Erhou's pants and pushed it forward.
Wang Er staggered forward a few steps and managed to regain his footing without falling.
"Thank you, Brother Wang, for bringing me here. Without you, I wouldn't have learned all the martial arts and found a good sister." Zhao Zheng clasped his fists at Wang Eryi and expressed his sincere gratitude.
"You said enough of this kind of thing yesterday, okay, let's get down quickly." The Laughing Ghost smiled and waved his hand.
In this round of competition, Zhao Zheng once again won easily and won the applause of everyone downstairs. He continued to go down to the first floor, which was guarded by a butcher.
The butcher shook the kitchen knife in his hand, and Kuairen said quickly: "You brat, you can't fight me with your bare hands. Pull out your sword quickly."
"As you wish." Zhao Zheng did not show off to Ren Tuzi, so he pulled out the Yiming Sword, flew over the guardrail and tapped it lightly, then attacked Rentuzi diagonally, and thrust the sword to stab Rentuzi's hair on the temples.
tip.
The knife technique practiced by human butchers is the Chef Ding Jie Niu Knife Technique. It was learned by an ancient butcher when killing cattle. The knife technique was initially only used to cut the meat of cattle. Later, it was carried forward by others and transformed into a weapon for dealing with people.
Knife skills.
When killing a cow, this sect pays attention to starting with the fragile parts of the cow, using the least amount of effort to achieve the fastest and best results. It must peel off all the meat without damaging the bones. When dealing with people, this
The Men's Sword Technique also maintains this purpose. The swords and knives must attack the most vulnerable parts of a person's body. It is a sword technique with a strong murderous intention.
Even during a sparring session, this sword technique cannot be left unattended, otherwise it will no longer be the same as the chef's sword technique.
I saw the butcher raising his hand and raising his knife, using the blade to block the stabbing sword and blocking it aside. Then he shouted loudly and rushed forward. The blades of the sword rubbed against each other, making a poisonous snake sound.
A hissing sound.
Zhao Zheng flipped his wrist, and the life sword in his hand separated from the kitchen knife, and drew a semicircle to tease the hem of Butcher's clothes.
The butcher didn't dodge, but instead slammed the knife into the sword. He held the kitchen knife tightly in his hand. It was short and powerful, and had great strength. If it collided with the sword, he would definitely get an advantage.
Zhao Zheng saw that the sword was powerful and heavy, and did not want to damage the sword. He took the sword back, stabbed the guardrail on one side, used the force to push his body out of the air, and dodged the menacing man.
Tuzi. His body was light and he was already behind Tuzi after landing.
The Human Butcher performed a Hidden Sword pose, and the sword light circled around his neck, protecting his vitals. He took the opportunity to turn around, face Zhao Zheng, spotted the bone seam on Zhao Zheng's chest, and raised the blade of the sword to chop.
As he passed by, the sword light drew a bright semicircle.
Zhao Zheng saw that the butcher's sword skills were ruthless, and he was afraid of making mistakes, so he had to use more exquisite sword skills to suppress it. He took a big step back to avoid the sword, and after the sword passed by, he rushed forward again and swung continuously.
Three swords, one faster than the other, struck at the head, chest and abdomen of Rentuzi respectively. The three cold sword lights were almost parallel.
Human Butcher's eyes were dazzled, and he hurriedly dismantled it. He swung his sword several times, but could not touch the Life Sword at all. It was as if the three sword lights were really just light and had no substance. He thought secretly in his heart.
No, as soon as this thought crossed his mind, a sword light broke through the defense of his blade, flashed past his face, and cut off a few hairs.
Zhao Zheng won a small victory and calmly sheathed his sword. The guests downstairs began to cheer again. Since the sword fight was more enjoyable to watch, the shouts were louder this time.
"You brat, you defeated me with just a few tricks. You're really awesome." Rentuzi laughed and cursed, then waved his hand, "You go down. The last step is just the shopkeeper's."
"Thank you, Brother Ren, for taking care of me during this time." Zhao Zheng thanked him and walked slowly down the last staircase.
Shen Luoxia drank the last few drops of wine in the glass and slowly placed it on the table. Yingying stood up and looked at her brother with such tenderness in her eyes.
"If you can't pass my test, I will really keep you, so you'd better do your best." Shen Luoxia said with a smile.
"How dare I leave any room for fighting against my sister?" Zhao Zheng said solemnly. He was telling the truth. He and his sister were on par with each other in terms of strength, or even inferior. If he really wanted to fight, he would have to do his best.
OK.
"Come on. Let me see how you are doing with your Luo Yanbu practice." Shen Luoxia performed the orchid acupuncture technique. Her white fingers were like the tips of bamboo shoots, and her hand shape was impeccable.
There were many hot looks.
The sword had no eyes, and Zhao Zheng didn't want to accidentally hurt his sister, so he didn't draw the sword and attacked directly with bare hands. His feet moved vigorously, his body became as light as a feather, and he rushed to his sister's side like a gust of wind. He used all his strength at this time, The speed was several times faster than before, and no one present except Shen Luoxia could catch his movements with the naked eye.
When Song Kuaizui and others upstairs saw this scene, they couldn't help but be speechless. Only then did they understand how much water Zhao Zheng had put in when he started. Although they knew that Zhao Zheng was growing very fast, they didn't expect that Zhao Zheng had grown up now. We have reached this situation.
Shen Luoxia's beautiful eyes flashed, and she stretched out her fingers to touch the acupuncture points on Zhao Zheng's body, but the touch was empty, and only hit an afterimage. A missed attack may lead to a powerful counterattack. She did not hesitate, and after taking back her hand, Immediately dodging, a pair of lotus jade feet followed the exquisite footwork of Luo Yanbu, circling Zhao Zheng, looking for an opportunity.
Zhao Zheng extended his hands into claws and launched a counterattack, but he missed the target. When he tried to pursue him again, Shen Luoxia had already stepped forward to bully him. Shen Luoxia's actions seemed harmless, but in fact they contained hidden meanings. Using various back moves, he had no choice but to avoid its sharp edges and dodge to the side with the same steps.
One of the two people chased, the other retreated, one turned left, one turned right, one jumped up, and the other turned down, forming two shadows, one red and one white. Since both of them used the same Qing Gong, they worked in harmony with each other. Just like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, they can never touch each other. Although the two are chasing each other, they look like they are dancing together, without any sharp murderous intent, and they are very elegant and beautiful.
The onlookers watched the two people flying up and down, and felt that the scene was like two butterflies shuttling among the flowers. Although they could not see the doorway, they found it very pleasing to the eye, especially when Shen Luoxia paused occasionally. A proud and graceful figure will be revealed fleetingly.
The two were locked in a battle with their footwork, and they speeded up together in unison. As long as whoever was faster and moved to a favorable position first, he was expected to win. Both of them used their fastest speed, and in the In this competition of speed and body skills, Shen Luoxia had a slight upper hand because she had practiced Luo Yanbu for many years, and because of her long legs, she got around to the back of Zhao Zheng first.
The corners of Shen Luoxia's rosy lips rose, and with enough strength, she aimed at the "Shinto acupoint" on Zhao Zheng's back and stabbed it. Just hitting this acupoint could put a person into coma.
Zhao Zheng's eyes widened in shock, and he caught a glimpse of Shen Luoxia's movements from the corner of his eye. It was too late for him to use moves to dismantle him. In desperation, he simply forced out his own internal energy from a dozen acupuncture points on his back. .I saw the wind bulge on the clothes behind him, and an all-round force spread out. Although the force was not very strong, it was enough to withstand Shen Luoxia's finger.
When Shen Luoxia saw the inner strength released, she knew for the first time that Zhao Zheng had reached the fourth heaven realm. She couldn't help but be filled with surprise, and quickly retracted her fingers and jumped out of the battle circle.
"When did you reach the fourth heaven realm?" Shen Luoxia asked.
"Just a few days ago." Zhao Zheng adjusted his breathing, stood up straight and replied.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Every time I make some progress, you guys will praise me full of praises, making it seem like I'm deliberately showing off, so I didn't say anything this time."
"You, you, although being modest is a good thing, you can't hide such a big thing from us." Shen Luoxia then said happily, "My brother is really amazing. He has achieved such achievements at a young age. Even if he is Looking at the entire Great Yan Kingdom, your cultivation speed is considered fast enough. There are probably not more than a hundred young talents who can surpass you in this aspect."
"Sister, you are overly praised, and... the Great Yan Kingdom is not that small, and there are many, many young people who practice faster than me."
"You are the one who is being too modest."
Zhao Zheng had a reserved temperament and did not like to show off, so he smiled and did not continue.
Although most of the others are laymen, they all have the most basic understanding of martial arts. They know that the fourth level of martial arts is quite rare. There are many warriors who will never reach this height in their lifetime. They can't help but admire the handsome man in front of them. The young man was amazed.
Shen Luoxia sighed and said: "Since you have reached the fourth heaven realm, I can't find any reason to stop you. You can leave. But before you leave, I have another request."
"Sister, please speak." Zhao Zhengdao.
"I hope you can play the flute for me again."
"This is easy to do. Since sister wants to hear it, I will perform for you." Zhao Zheng had a flute in his luggage. He took out the flute and placed it in front of his lips, thinking about what tune he should play. He learned I have been playing the flute for a long time, and now I am quite proficient in it. I can often play the tune very well just by remembering it.
Shen Luoxia wanted to hear the sound of her brother's flute and told others to be silent. Acquaintances did not dare to disobey her, but strangers saw her beauty and were willing to listen to her words. The whole place suddenly became quiet.
Zhao Zheng was thinking about it, and suddenly he remembered a song called "Farewell" that he often sang in elementary school. This song was carefully composed by Li Shutong. The theme of the song just expresses the feeling of parting. When he played it at this time, it was really appropriate. Respond to the occasion.
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky. The evening wind blows the willow flute, and the sun sets outside the mountain.
At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, acquaintances are half scattered. A glass of turbid wine has exhausted the remaining pleasure, and there are many farewells tonight.
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky. I asked you when will you come here, and don't wander around when you come.
At the end of the sky, in the corner of the earth, acquaintances are scattered. Life is rarely about reunions, only separations are many!
The sound of the flute curled out. Although these lyrics could not be played, it still clearly expressed the feeling of parting. Because the ancients lived at a slow pace and did not have many distracting thoughts in their hearts, they had a high ability to understand and accept the music, and they could clearly feel the music. the meaning expressed in.
Compared to others, Shen Luoxia, who was involved in the incident, had a deeper feeling for the sound of the flute. When she thought about how she would not be able to see her brother again for a long time after the farewell, she felt so sad that she burst into tears. This was scary. Having offended others, Shen Luoxia has been running an inn for many years, and this is the first time she has shed tears in front of outsiders.
A drop of crystal tears slid down his chin and dripped on the ground, clean and transparent, but full of sadness.
Zhao Zheng couldn't bear it, stopped and put down the green bamboo flute in his hand.
Shen Luoxia burst into tears. She could no longer be as strong as usual. She hugged Zhao Zheng in front of her and cried: "When you get outside, you would rather bully others than let others bully you. Now that you have decided to If you go out and make a living, then make a name for myself!"
"Yes, I will." Zhao Zheng's eyes were a little sore, and he resisted the tears from overflowing.
"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If you have to leave, leave quickly, otherwise I will feel even worse." Shen Luoxia cried and pushed Zhao Zheng away. She didn't even go to see Zhao Zheng off, but ran upstairs crying.
Zhao Zheng watched his sister leave, closed the door of the boudoir, made up his mind, clasped his fists towards everyone in the inn, made an eight-way salute, and shouted: "The green mountains will not change, the green water will always flow, everyone, take care, I'm leaving Come on!" As he said that, he strode out of the house, walked to the backyard, picked up a fast horse, and rode up the Zhongguan Road.
People in the inn walked out of the inn to say goodbye to Zhao Zheng, and even some people they didn't know came out. On the third floor of the inn, a window quietly opened a gap, casting a reluctant look.
Zhao Zheng rode towards the south, leaving behind everyone's farewells and the Hongchen Inn where he had stayed for two years. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! )
