Chapter 60: Absconding VIII

After a busy time, everything is in order. The www.biquge.info everyone returned to the center of the cave, and at this time, Sun Mu, Yu Jingying, and Yu Shousheng had prepared dinner for everyone, each with a large skewer of barbecue and a bowl of wine. Xiang Wan set fire to a large handful of pine branches that he had just picked up, and according to Shangguan Hongyang's recommendation, this thing has an excellent mosquito repellent effect. Xiang Wan was afraid of mosquito bites, of course, he was willing to try. Since there were no tables, chairs, benches, etc., everyone ate at will, squatting or standing, but there were no restrictions. After dinner, everyone felt very tired. Sun Mu then ordered someone to take out the mat that had been prepared earlier, so that everyone could rest early. Nothing to say for a night.

At dawn the next day, Sun Mu woke up early. Seeing that everyone was asleep, he didn't want to disturb others, so he got up from the mat and tiptoed out of the cave. The three sentinels who were on duty outside the cave were a fat guy with an honest appearance, and the extra skewers of barbecue yesterday were handed over to him to solve. The fat guy smiled at Sun Mu and said hello. Sun Mu whispered to him, "You've also been worth half the night, you should be tired, go and rest." It just so happens that I'm also going to practice swords outside the cave, so I'll help you watch it. The fat guy shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, no, this is not good." I'm going to leave my post without permission, and Brother Sun has to screw my head. Anyway, it's going to be bright, and it's not too late. Shangguan Hongyang praised, "I can't imagine that Sun Mu, this kid, is really a general." ”

"What are you saying bad things about me?" Sun Mu's voice came from behind. Shangguan Hongyang walked out, looked back and smiled, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." You were busy all day yesterday, why don't you rest for a while, what are you doing when you get up so early?" Sun Mu followed, "Aren't you the same?" I wake up at this time every day and practice martial arts, which has already formed a habit. It's just that there is no guidance from a famous teacher, and the progress is limited, and it is absolutely incomparable with you. Shangguan said, "I'm just a coincidence." If it weren't for the fact that Master saw that I had lost a palm and felt pity, and was afraid that I would not be able to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future, I guess I would not have any intention of accepting disciples. Whether this is more than the loss or the gain is more difficult to say. Where could Sun Mu have thought that he was just a casual remark, which caused the other party to sigh. He was afraid that Shangguan Hongyang would continue to sigh in this matter, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "There are rumors on the rivers and lakes, saying that Dugu Jiujian is unparalleled in the world and has few opponents. It's just a pity that I've never seen it with my own eyes. Can Brother Carry Forward show us a hand in front of us and let us open our eyes as well?"

Shangguan carried forward and waved his hand. "Don't dare to be. I've only scratched the surface. How dare you openly show ugliness?" Sun Mu smiled, "That's your mistake. What does it matter if we brothers have a competition? In the past, you had a rudder experience in Zhejiang, and we also had a competition. Could it be that since you learned Dugu Jiujian, you look down on your brother and me, or do you still want to hide your strength in front of me?"

Before the two of them knew it, they had walked out of the cave for some distance. Shangguan Hongyang stood still and said, "This is too outward. Since you insist on asking for it, let's go through a few tricks and promote each other. Brother Sun, please. Sun Mu said with a smile, "I have heard for a long time that Dugu Jiujian pays attention to preemptive strikes, and anticipates the enemy's opportunity first. Brother Hongyang, I used to let you take the lead, but this time I won't be polite to you. This time, I'm going to strike first. Sun Mu pulled out the long sword on his waist, and with a move of "oblique light to dawn", he stabbed Shangguan Hongyang's thigh obliquely downward. According to Sun Mu's plan, without waiting for this trick to make him old, he suddenly changed his trick and used the "Extreme Speed Trident" to stab Shangguan Hongyang's left breast, right breast and throat, catching Shangguan Hongyang off guard and seeing how he responded? Unexpectedly, Shangguan Hongyang didn't pay attention to his move "Slanting Light to Dawn", but stabbed Sun Mu in the left chest. This move was unexpected, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but be amazed. Shangguan promoted this move seems to be a scoundrel, and it is a way of fighting that ends up together, but in fact, "Slanting Light to Dawn" can only stab the opponent's thigh, but the opponent's long sword stabbed his left chest. If you really want to be in actual combat, this is one injury and one death, and the difference is big. There is indeed a good reason why Shangguan Hongyang dares to take this risk. Sun Mu thought as he returned to the sword for protection, and his move "Extreme Speed Trident" was naturally too late. After that, the offensive and defensive momentum reversed, and Shangguan Hongyang's advance was like a surging river, rolling in, making Sun Mu tired of coping. Finally, when the twenty-third move came, the Jizhong acupoint on Sun Mu's chest was sealed, and he could only abandon the sword and surrender.

Sun Mu is an open-minded person, and he was not annoyed when he lost the sword competition this time, but congratulated Shangguan Hongyang, "Brother Hongyang, congratulations." I remember that in the autumn of the previous year, when we fought each other, we still won and lost each other, and even if you beat me, it would be at least a hundred moves later. I can't imagine that since you learned Dugu Nine Swords, your progress has been so fast, it's really amazing. It shouldn't be difficult for you to shine in the martial arts in the future. ”

Sun Mu praised him like this, which made Shangguan Hongyang very embarrassed, and he didn't expect that he could defeat this good brother in twenty-three moves, the scene was too embarrassing. He was thinking about how to answer, whether he wanted to comfort Sun Mu first, when suddenly a cold voice behind him said, "Linghu Chong's stinky boy's Dugu Nine Sword is really so powerful? ”
