18 darts down (thanks to my brother for calling the three-fold leader
After ten miles, the scenery outside was still the same.
Wei He glanced at it.
It was noon at this time. The sun was shining brightly, illuminating the forest land far away on both sides.
There are no fields on both sides of the official road, they are all weeds.
Weeds as tall as a person can be seen everywhere, but they are all in clumps and not connected into one piece.
To his expectation, although Cheng Kai said it was dangerous.
But the journey was uneventful.
On the first day, everyone hurried to a village. The village was named Fanjiazhuang, and a roadside inn opened on the edge.
Cheng Kai seemed to be quite familiar with the store owner. After greeting each other, a group of people stayed inside for the night.
Early the next morning, we set off quickly before dawn.
In this way, I would drive one day every day to a village, then stay in a hotel to rest, and then continue the cycle.
Wei He and Cheng Kai usually live in the same room with two beds. They sleep with their clothes on and sleep by the window so they can check the situation at any time, but there are no unexpected changes.
Everything was calm.
The route location and even the resting spots were arranged in advance. It can be said that Wei He completely lost the mystery of dart walking.
Gradually, I became somewhat suspicious of the so-called dangerous areas outside the city.
The night of the seventh day.
The convoy is about to reach its destination, among a barren mountain, leaning against a large stone bridge.
Everyone lit a bonfire, moved the escort carriage and horses close to the bridgehead house, and formed a half circle. A group of people rested in the house.
The mountain wind howled, and the swaying light of the bonfire made the figures sway back and forth.
The large stone bridge stretches for hundreds of meters, with a guardhouse on each side of the bridge.
This guardhouse seems to have been left behind by the former guarding the bridge, but it has been abandoned for a long time.
The bridge, which was once hundreds of meters long, is also in tatters and in disrepair.
The bridgehead room is cylindrical, seven to eight meters high, and quite large in diameter, seventeen to eight meters in diameter.
It was empty inside, but about twenty people were crowded inside around two fires, talking and laughing.
The cold wind constantly blowing in through the two window openings could not stop the excitement brought by the large number of people.
Wei He sat in the corner, silently flicking the bonfire with thick branches to make it burn brighter.
Several people on his left were bragging and spanking in unintelligible dialects.
One of the two people on the right is carving wood with a knife, and the other is dozing against the wall.
As the head escort, Cheng Kai arranged the night sentry candidates outside and also walked in.
He said a few words to the escorts beside another bonfire. Soon several people got up and went outside.
Not long after, there was a faint sound of crackling fists and kicks coming in.
"It's starting again, go for a walk and watch the excitement!"
Several escorts suddenly became energetic, got up and headed out the door.
Beside Wei He, the three people who had been dozing off while carving wood a moment ago jumped up and headed out the door.
Several escorts who were bragging in dialect also stood up. One of them saw Wei He motionless and confused, and suddenly laughed.
"Let's go, let's go. Brother Wei has practiced Zheng'er Ba Jing Huishan Boxing. Go out and practice, so that you can show your skills to the brothers!"
He came over and pulled Wei He's sleeve.
"What?" Wei He was pulled up with a puzzled look on his face and followed everyone out of the bridge room.
Just behind the bridge house, there is an open space that seems to be used for cooking and chopping firewood.
The two escorts were facing each other, spinning slowly in circles.
Some people held torches to give them light. Some people yelled and cheered for someone among them.
This place is close to the mountain wall, and is blocked by the bridgehead building. The mountain breeze is very small, and it just becomes a blind spot.
Cheng Kai saw Wei He also coming out and walked over, smiling.
"This is what we do every escort trip to add to the fun."
"Fun activities?"
"That's right." Cheng Kai touched his mustache and said with a smile: "When we are escorts, we are not allowed to drink or gamble. We can't do anything except chatting along the way. We are not even allowed to speak loudly.
It’s too long. As time goes by, it’s inevitable that you’ll feel depressed.”
He paused and continued: "So every time when we are about to arrive at the destination, we will have an internal martial arts competition. Firstly, since drinking is not allowed, we can use fighting to refresh ourselves and increase the circulation of energy and blood.
Secondly, it can be regarded as an internal decision-making. Who is strong and who is weak? It is good for everyone to have an idea of who is strong and who is weak, so as not to run into trouble and be unsure."
Wei He understood immediately.
Having said so much, in fact, as long as this is a place for people, there is no way to escape the distinction between high and low.
At this time, there was a loud shout in the audience.
The two escorts had suddenly collided with each other.
A tall bodyguard used an iron rod, and when he swung it, he was quite organized, and his attack and defense were advanced and retreated without any chaos.
The other one was short and stocky, and with his bare hands, he punched quickly and fiercely, making the fight fierce and powerful. He seemed to have good power.
After the two men fought in close quarters for a while, the one holding the stick was too close to move, but he was not fast enough to separate the distance. In the end, he lost a move and was hit in the shoulder, defeating the battle.
"Bai Shengfeng's horizontal stick is pretty good among the guys. He once defeated five gangsters with one stick and one man in Nanshan Town. Unexpectedly, he still lost to Li Er."
Cheng Kai commented.
Wei He looked at it and found that the fight between the two men was just average. Although he didn't know the strength, the speed of attack and reaction speed were obviously at an ordinary level.
According to his estimation, he is just a little stronger than ordinary people, but he just has some rules in fighting.
Then, after Li Er won one battle, he was still unsatisfied. He fought another battle and still won.
Only then did this person's advantage come to light. His endurance was extremely long, and he was not tired at all even after playing two games.
"How about it? Do you want to go up and give it a try? Li Er's Nine Mountain Fist is not weak. Even I have to stay alert to win." Cheng Kai looked at Wei He with a smile.
"Okay." Wei He didn't say much, took off his cloak, took a few steps forward and entered the field.
"Wei He." He bowed his hands and bowed.
"Li Er." The short and stocky Li Er looked very fierce. Under the firelight, you could see a scar on his left eyebrow. The muscles on his body were one after another, and his appearance was very fierce.
After the two saluted, they stood still.
Wei He was observing carefully. Although he had watched two games before and probably knew Li Er's approach, he was not in a hurry when he actually came on stage.
Under the light of the torch.
Li Er, on the other hand, couldn't hold his nerve. After winning two games in a row, his confidence was high and his momentum was strong, so he punched Wei He.
This punch was a straight punch, just a test. He used a quick punch.
Punch with one hand, defend with one hand, and you can change your moves at any time.
If Wei He can't keep up with the speed, then he can catch up with the pursuit and gain the advantage in one go to win.
If he can keep up, he can also test the strength of the lower lane and so on.
Wei He raised his fists, protecting them in front of his head, and shook them gently.
puff.
The fists of the two came into contact, and Wei He felt his body tremble. The opponent's fist was quite powerful. Even he, who had experienced a blood breakthrough once, felt his fist numb just by pushing it away.
No wonder this Li Er could easily win two games in a row before.
But it's a pity....
Wei He's free left fist shot forward, and he hit the opponent's chest with a straight punch.
With a gasp, his fist turned into a white shadow, and it was also a straight punch. This punch was more than a step faster than Li Er's fist.
Just when Li Er was about to dodge, the fist unexpectedly turned and hit him on the shoulder.
Bang.
Li Er staggered back and lost a move.
He was not convinced and continued.
The two continued to fight, but after just a few blows, he was punched in the abdomen again.
This time he finally saw clearly that the two men were about the same strength, but the difference in shooting speed was too big.
Wei He basically stood there, motionless, and settled the fight with just a few punches.
"Awesome! I'm willing to be defeated!" Li Er blushed, cupped his hands, and went down dejectedly.
The cheers and cheers around him gradually faded away. No one was very familiar with Wei He, so naturally no one cheered him on.
"Anyone who wants to go up can go up. But before you go up, think about it first. Li Er's Nine Mountain Fist is very powerful, but he still loses. Don't go to torture those who are weak." Cheng Kai said loudly on the side.
"I'll do it." A man came forward, holding a short knife in his hand. "Sorry, I'm good at weapons."
"It's okay." Wei He responded. If you go out to hang out, sooner or later you will encounter someone with a weapon.
This man slashed at Wei He quickly with two slashes of his sword. Although he used the back of the sword to avoid accidental injuries, the sword was still bright and his appearance was astonishing.
But Wei He, who had more energy and blood than these people, had an unusual reaction speed. He dodged a few times, stumbled, and made the opponent lose his balance, and then punched him.
Suddenly the dagger was knocked out of his hand and fell to the ground.
Won this one again.
Wei He did not end the fight and continued to look around, intending to continue to gain practical experience.
Although he didn't say anything, everyone understood what he meant, which was to continue.
Soon, two more people came on stage, and Wei He easily eliminated them both.
With the difference in energy and blood, it was quite easy for him to deal with these ordinary escorts.
Only then did he deeply realize how much the realm of qi and blood increased his strength. He looked at people in slow motion.
"I'll do it." Finally, a tall woman with slender legs came out.
Her name is Cheng Qing, and she is also a member of the Cheng family, but a distant relative. But she is not an escort, but one of the only two escort leaders on this trip.
"As for Jing Yatou, there is something to watch." Cheng Kai smiled while stroking his beard.
Just now he was still thinking about whether to end his life. Otherwise, it would be difficult to wait for Wei He to lose the face of all the old people.
As a rare female escort, and also the head escort, the person in charge of the escort, Cheng Jing has extraordinary strength, and is also a well-known expert in Ishiqiao Town where the Cheng family is located.
"I have fought against many powerful characters in the town. There are five gangs in Ishibashi Town and Nanshan Town. I have fought against the powerful characters in each gang one by one. I only lost one game.
In the escort agency, I am second only to the head escort and the young master. If you beat me, you will be ranked among the top ten in the entire Ishibashi Town, excluding martial arts masters."
Cheng Qing spoke word by word, enunciated the words clearly, and spoke with a clear accent. His eyes were bright, and he looked directly at Wei He without blinking.
"You continue to provoke the old man and plan to use everyone's name to become famous in one fell swoop. If I am not here today, forget it, but since I am here, you must take care of it!" Her voice was clear and sonorous.
Wei He was silent for a moment: "I don't have this..."
"You don't have to quibble. I've seen people like you a lot. You are silent on the surface, but in fact you are more ambitious than anyone else on the inside!" Cheng Jing said flatly.
"You misunderstood..."
"I didn't misunderstand. There's nothing wrong with wanting to make progress. The only thing wrong is that you chose the wrong way."
"Can you listen carefully..." Wei He's voice became louder unconsciously.
"What's the use of listening to it? Even if you tell me some tricks, it can't hide that you are this kind of person. Stop talking nonsense!"
Cheng Jing was the first to raise his legs and press down.
Whoosh!
The shadow of his leg flickered, like an axe. The speed of this move was not slower than that of Wei He.
She actually has a quality that has broken through once in Qi and blood!
