"Do you recognize me?" Zhao Zheng said unexpectedly.
"You are indeed Zhao Zheng. I really didn't expect to meet a challenger here." Chu Tian's eyes lit up and he said politely, "I have admired your name for a long time, and I am truly lucky to see you today."
Zhao Zheng stood up quickly to return the courtesy and asked, "I wonder where Brother Chu got to know my appearance?"
"I recognized you from a portrait. Someone had already drawn the faces of more than a dozen fighters and posted them in Luoshu Villa. There were not only your portraits, but also those of several others.
The portrait is quite exquisite." Chu Tian replied.
"So you recognized me through the portrait." Zhao Zheng suddenly realized.
"Not only have I seen your portrait, I've also heard some rumors about you, but I don't know if these rumors are true or false."
"What rumors?" Zhao Zheng became interested again.
"On my way home to announce the good news, I once heard people talking about you in the inn. They said that you killed the Poisonous Hand Gu Demon Xia Yunjie and others in the Evil Bee Valley, thus eliminating a great harm to the martial arts world."
"Oh, so that's what happened. I did kill Xia Yunjie and his disciples with my own hands. I saw them using living people to practice martial arts, and their methods were too vicious, so I killed them." Zhao Zheng said suddenly.
"Xia Yunjie and others have misbehaved and committed many injustices, and they really deserve to be killed. I heard that Xia Yunjie is a fifth-level heavenly warrior, and he practices poisonous sand palm, which makes him very difficult to deal with. You can kill Xia Yunjie by yourself.
Yun Jie and his disciples are really admirable." Chu Tian cupped his hands and said.
"Xia Yunjie is just a rat. It's not difficult to kill him. It's not a skill." Zhao Zheng said modestly.
"Xia Yunjie has been causing trouble to the martial arts world for many years. There are many people who want to kill him, but many people have failed, which shows that his strength is not low. Your Excellency, please don't be modest. I was about to set off for Zhujian Villa just now, and now I met him
You can't leave at all. If you don't mind, I want to make friends with you, sit down and have a few drinks with you, what do you think?"
"It's just what I want, please." Zhao Zheng stepped aside and pointed to the seat.
Chu Tian took his seat generously, and saw a beautiful woman beside him, and quickly asked her name. Zhao Zheng went through the trouble to introduce her, and the three of them got to know each other.
When the tea pavilion owner saw that his son had made a new friend, and he was another challenger, he hurried forward to entertain him attentively, offering him a pot of new tea and several plates of dried fruit snacks.
The three of them chatted happily and quickly became acquainted with each other. Because Zhao Zheng and Chu Tian were both wrestlers, they talked about many topics in this area. Chu Tian kindly reminded Zhao Zheng to be sure when he went to Zhujian Villa.
Be careful, because someone in the world has already issued a hunting order, and a corresponding bounty has been placed on each challenger. Whoever can kill can claim the reward with his head.
The person who issued the hunting order is said to be one of the twenty-four fighters. This person has evil intentions and wants to eliminate several competitors in advance.
Zhao Zheng had expected this a long time ago, and even the culprit who issued the hunting order knew about it, so he was not surprised at all. He was more interested in how much his head was worth, so he asked about it.
Chu Tian had only heard about this matter a little bit, but he didn't know much about it. The price circulated outside was that the minimum starting price for a person was ten thousand taels of silver. If he was a rising star who became famous, the price would be raised even higher. Zhao Zheng was unknown, so he rewarded
The gold should only be more than 10,000 taels.
When Zhao Zheng heard that he was only worth more than 10,000 taels of silver, he was a little disappointed and a little funny. He couldn't hire a good killer for more than 10,000 taels of silver, so it seemed that he didn't need to worry about it.
The shopkeeper of the tea pavilion next to him was frightened by the news, and immediately told his son to be careful. Seeing that Zhao Zheng and the two were going to Zhujian Villa sooner or later, he had an idea and got the three of them to go together. None of the three had any objections to this.
We hit it off immediately. The tea pavilion owner was overjoyed and served a few more plates of snacks, not afraid to overwhelm a few people.
As the three of them chatted, they naturally talked about the topic of the Ruyun Stone Wall.
Chu Tian told how he watched this stone wall and learned the rules of swordsmanship. He came to this tea pavilion with his father to help him since he was a child. After work, he stood in the tea pavilion and looked across, and soon learned the rules.
He memorized the upper part of the sword technique and began to practice the sword according to the above movements, and he practiced it well. This sword technique can regulate the meridians and Dantian in the human body. After practicing for a long time, his body naturally generated internal force.
He became a martial artist. Seeing that he was quite talented, his father stopped letting him work and asked him to concentrate on practicing martial arts.
In this way, spring passed and autumn came, and after several cold and summer months, Chu Tian's cultivation level became higher and higher. When he reached the third level of cultivation, he was dissatisfied with the status quo and began to learn the middle part of the regular swordsmanship. Soon he also learned the middle part.
.When he reached the fifth level of cultivation, he began to formally learn the lower part of regular swordsmanship, and learned all of this most difficult part.
Chu Tian has never received any guidance from celebrities. He has been able to reach this stage by self-study, which is quite commendable. He himself is very grateful to the martial arts seniors who carved the rules of swordsmanship on the stone wall of Ruyun. He regards him as his master and brings him every year during the holidays.
Bring the sacrificial objects to the bottom of the Ruiyun stone wall to worship and show your heart.
The reason why Chu Tian is able to achieve what he is today has something to do with his own talent. He is naturally very sensitive to graphics and likes to arrange various things symmetrically. This can be seen from his hairstyle and clothing.
come out.
"You two must have come here to enter the cloud stone wall. I wonder how many sword moves you two have mastered?" Chu Tian asked with a smile after telling his general experience. If you look carefully, you will find that he will
The teacup in his hand was placed in the middle of the table, dividing the table into two equal halves. If he hadn't forcibly restrained himself, I'm afraid he would have arranged all the cups on the table neatly and symmetrically.
"I have comprehended the fifth move in the middle, and he has comprehended the eleventh move in the middle." Zihua replied.
"You have learned so many sword moves when you first came here. You two are really talented and smart."
"We have only seen the surface of sword moves, but it is not a true understanding. You are the one who has really chewed up, crushed and swallowed the rules of swordsmanship."
"Haha, that's true." Chu Tian nodded.
Zhao Zheng proposed to chat while studying the rules of swordsmanship on the stone wall, and the three of them responded. All three of them turned their attention to the Ruiyun stone wall, and the conversation gradually became less and less.
After the rest just now, Zhao Zheng's head was no longer confused and he regained consciousness. He stared at the Ruiyun stone wall, thinking about the meaning of the words and graphics, and a figure wielding a sword appeared in his mind, flying up and down, moving forward.
Pounce back and move forward with great agility.
Time goes by, the sun tilts to the west, and the day flies by. The west side of the mountains is covered with red clouds, and the red sunset is sandwiched between the two mountains. This tea pavilion is just a tea pavilion. There is no place for people to stay. Once there,
At night, people who go up the mountain have to go down one after another to find another place to stay.
The people in the tea pavilion gradually came down the mountain, and in the end only Zhao Zheng and the other three were left reluctantly staying in their seats.
"Half a day has passed. I wonder where you two have achieved enlightenment?" Chu Tian asked with a smile.
"I have understood the last move in the middle." After Zihua finished speaking, she rubbed her temples and turned to look at Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng was still staring at the stone wall unblinkingly, as if an old monk was in trance, turning a deaf ear to the two people's questions. Seeing that Zhao Zheng was so focused, the other two people must have understood a very crucial point and did not continue.
disturb.
After another incense stick, Zhao Zheng finally came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "No, my head hurts too much. I can only comprehend this far today."
"Even I have comprehended the last move in the middle part. You must have started to comprehend the lower part. Tell me which move you have comprehended." Zihua asked.
"I have reached the level of enlightenment..." Zhao Zheng swallowed what he said and glanced at Chu Tian playfully, "I think it's better not to talk about this matter. Brother Chu and I will probably be in the ring in the future.
When we meet, if I let Brother Chu know which moves I have comprehended, he will definitely be on guard. If I don't tell him, Brother Chu will definitely think wildly and become confused, which is very beneficial to me."
"You are quite cunning." Zihua rolled her eyes at Zhao Zheng.
"A soldier never tires of deceit, as long as he can win." Zhao Zheng asked Chu Tian, "Brother Chu won't blame me if I don't tell the truth, right?"
"No, no, you have no obligation to tell me. Besides, the rules of swordsmanship are not that easy to crack. There are countless clever uses in the moves of this swordsmanship. It is impossible to just see the movements of each move.
It’s used.” Chu Tian laughed and said disapprovingly.
It was late, Zhao Zheng and Zihua went down the mountain together with Chu Tian and his son, and at the kind invitation of Chu Tian and his son, they stayed in the home of the father and son.
According to the original plan, Zhao Zheng wanted to stay here for a few more days and learn more about the rules of swordsmanship. But now that he had become friends with Chu Tian, he felt a little embarrassed to devote himself to studying and deciphering his friend's swordsmanship, so he changed his mind.
We set off on our journey the next day.
The three of them walked together and rushed to Zhujian Villa. They first returned to the main road, and then headed south. Before arriving at Zhujian Villa, the three of them passed by a small town called "Dachuan Town"
, decided to stop here to rest and inquire about the latest news about the arena competition.
After entering the town and walking a few streets, I heard a sad cry coming from a house on the side of the road: "My child, my child, you died so miserably! Who is so cruel to treat a girl like you?"
Next time, I will kill you. If God has eyes, I will definitely let that bad guy die a good death and avenge my daughter..."
The sound was obviously made by a woman, so her child was probably killed by someone else.
The three of them heard the shouting, and after some discussion, they decided to go over and take a look at the situation. They had learned martial arts to eliminate violence and bring peace to the people. If they encountered such a thing but ignored it, all their martial arts skills would have been in vain.
Not long after walking, the three of them came to the gate of the courtyard where the cry was coming from, and found that a lot of people were gathered around. The three of them quickly took two steps forward and asked the onlookers what happened. (To be continued.
