Chapter 12 Clay Figures

The next day, before the morning sun appeared, I heard the sound of "whooshing" water on the side of the stream. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He Laiming barely opened his eyes, saw that the sky was faintly bright, the surrounding scenery was wrapped in white mist, and the sound of Huang Jing's gentle breathing came from his ears. He stood up straight, swung a few punches in the air, and tried a few punches with the small tree next to him, only to see him try a few punches, then he gave up, and said softly: "This practice with a tree is too painful, even if those martial arts people can split the tree, where can someone's muscles and bones be compared to this tree, no matter how powerful a person is, it is not a white knife to go in and a red knife to come out." Then he followed the sound of the water and walked towards the stream. He Lai Ming had just approached the stream, but he heard the sound of the "whooshing" water mixed with the sound of chanting and chanting the Buddha, and thought that it must be the monk Huishen practicing by the stream. So he hid in the grass to see what was going on.

I saw that the monk Huishen was soaking wet, and his left and right fingers each grabbed a boulder in the shape of an eagle's claw, constantly put the boulder into the water, and lifted it again. He Lai Ming saw that the boulder was a hundred catties, and he immediately understood why Hui Shen was able to leave finger marks and cracks on the rock wall yesterday. Huishen practiced for a while, but he was already sweating like rain, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or water stains on his body. He Lai Ming was very interested, quietly imitated his finger shape, and held a small stone up and down like Hui Shen. After a while, Wen Huishen laughed loudly and said, "What kind of strong eagle claw technique do you practice? The most you can practice is a chicken claw lying on the ground!" He Lai Ming smiled, not knowing how to answer. Hui Shen said with a smile: "The eagle claw skill collapses and breaks the rock, and grabs and closes the hole." But you didn't practice like this, come and try?" He Lai Ming smiled: "Brother Huishen, I don't have that much strength." Hui Shen was silent, and took out two half-sided gourds from the sac under the tree, and the gourd was all yellow, sparsely distributed with these cracks. Hui Shen took him to the creek, put the gourd in the water, and said, "Refer to the eagle's claw and catch it." He Laiming, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to grab it, but the gourd was smooth all around, where could he catch it, He Laiming couldn't even grab it after trying a few times, so he simply knocked the gourd over and floated it with a palm, and said: "Brother Huishen, this is too difficult!" Huishen replied with a smile: "Hmph, what you learned before only learned its fur, the shape is there, but how can you learn the subtle tricks." Do you think kung fu is so easy to learn? What kind of martial arts in the world doesn't start from the most basic practice like this?" As he spoke, his fingers bent slightly, and he easily grabbed the gourd. The two of them practiced together by the stream, one carrying a scoop and the other carrying a stone, but they didn't realize that the sun had come out.

He Laiming couldn't afford to lift it at first, but gradually mastered the trick of exerting force, and gradually was able to lift the gourd scoop from time to time. Hui Shen saw that He Lai Ming comprehended very quickly, and said with a smile: "Little Brother He Lai, as long as you keep practicing, this powerful eagle claw skill can break the tree and break the blade at the beginning of the achievement, and it is enough to save your life and defend yourself." He Lai Ming thought in his heart: "What's the use of just defending oneself, if you can't kill people, what's the use of learning kung fu!?" Hui Shen saw that he looked strange and thoughtful, and said: "Of course, what the little brother has learned from him, self-defense is no hindrance." However, in the future, it is better to have a proficient kung fu in the face of the enemy. He Lai Ming turned his head to look at him, only to see that his speed of lifting stones had not decreased at all, and he felt funny for some reason, and blurted out: "What's the use of practicing so much strength, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't be hard enough to be a tree, and a tree can still be pierced with a knife, and that person is not the same white knife in and red knife out." After hearing this, Hui Shen's lips pursed as flat as ink lines, and said: "Little brother, you haven't set foot in martial arts, so naturally you don't know." There are masters in the martial arts, there are those who practice kung fu horizontally, they are invulnerable, and there are those who use kung fu to resist the sword. If they are really masters, how can ordinary swords be able to win them. As she spoke, a woman came out of the forest and said, "Let's practice, let's eat some dry food." He Lai Ming saw that it was Huang Jing, and he was very surprised. Just about to run out, I remembered what Hui Shen said about the masters, and said in my heart: "If I am greedy for a moment, when will the great revenge be avenged?" So he continued to grab the gourd in the water and said, "You eat, I am not tired or hungry." Hui Shen put down the boulder, walked to Huang Jing's side, and said with a smile: "This is really a good place to practice, I think we can stay here for a few more days." Huang Jing replied: "It's okay, I also want to learn from my senior brother's tricks again." The two talked and laughed and left slowly.

He Laiming stayed alone by the stream, and from time to time heard the sound of the two fighting in the forest, but he didn't care, and kept practicing hard alone. Huang Jing called him to eat several times, but he ignored it, with a gourd scoop in his eyes and only the sound of a stream in his ears. Unconsciously the sun was setting, He Lai Ming suddenly felt powerless, and sat down in the stream. Hui Shen stood beside him silently and said softly, "Little brother, what is in your heart?" He Laiming was silent, and gently clasped the gourd in his hand. Hui Shen said again: "Huang Jing told you, our past. We have a great grudge, and good people can't do it. I don't think you want to be like us. He Lai Ming said in a deep voice: "A few years ago, my mother was killed and my father disappeared. I couldn't see the murderer's face, but I remember all the man's efforts, and I could recognize him if I saw him. Now I just want to learn kung fu to avenge my mother and find my father. Hui Shen sighed: "Attached to one thought, but also trapped in one thought." After all, we are trapped in the world, hatred, and passions. He smiled and shook his head, his fists clenched.

He Laiming didn't understand Huishen's words, and began to practice again after Huishen left. I don't know how long it took, but the cold moon was in the sky. Suddenly, someone said: "If you practice like this, it's useless to practice for another ten years!" He Lai Ming followed the prestige, and saw a person standing behind him, this person was eight feet long, dressed in a black robe with gold threads, holding a black fan, with a delicate face, and five long beards waving in the wind. He Laiming was taken aback, his legs were weak again, and he wanted to stretch out his fingers to point at him, but his fingers were weak to stretch, and he still made a claw shape, "Who are you?" The man smiled: "I'm not a person." Little brother, don't be afraid. Under the word 'uneven'. You call me my brother. He Lai Ming heard him report his name, although he didn't know what the word was, but he still saluted: "Junior He Lai Ming." The right person is rude, and please don't blame the brother. Buping waved his hand and said with a smile: "Little brother He Lai, your practice of the eagle claw skill is not right, the eagle claw skill is based on qi, how can it be practiced if it is so powerful and qiless?" He smiled and said: "In this way, you sit down cross-legged first, your eyes are slightly closed, your mind is clear and clear, you can't have a little distracting thoughts, your nose is lingering, your mind is not wandering, and your soul is not wandering." Immediately, he passed on to him the method of meditation and concern. He Laiming did it one by one, and suddenly felt a cool air running around, He Laiming hurriedly said: "Brother Buping, how can there be a cool air in my body?" Buping gently put his left hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm helping you practice." He Lai Ming immediately put his mind at ease and meditated, the cool air gradually filled his whole body, and he did not feel cold at this time, but felt very cool and comfortable, and his hands and feet gradually became stronger. He first felt the beauty in the darkness with his eyes closed, it was not visual beauty, but hearing, at first he only heard the murmuring of the stream, and gradually he heard the low chirping of night owls, the happy singing of insects, and finally seemed to hear the sound of fish leaping and scurrying hundreds of miles away.

He listened happily when he suddenly felt a coldness on his face, which made him quickly open his eyes. But seeing the sun rising in the east and the mountain fog beginning to disperse, suddenly another scoop of water splashed on his face. He Lai Ming looked at it and saw that Hui Shen was splashing water with the half of the gourd. Hui Shen smiled: "Heh, I also said that you, after a night of hard practice, it turned out that you were meditating and sleeping." ”

It turned out to be a dream, and what practice and injustice were all just a dream. I must have been too tired to have such a dream.

He Lai Ming walked into the stream, took the scoop, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be lazy, but I was so tired that I didn't fall asleep." As he spoke, he put the gourd into the water and grabbed it out of the water. Hui Shen smiled: "No, I'm afraid that when you are exhausted, you will deliberately insist, and you will hurt yourself." You'd be the best at that. He Lai Ming replied lightly and continued to move on his hands, but he still thought about the dream and those voices last night. Suddenly, Hui Shen shouted, "Hey, little brother Holai." You are really powerful, I didn't expect you to practice like this in one night, you are really a good seedling for martial arts!" He Lai Ming only said that Hui Shen was comforting himself, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and still practiced by himself. Hui Shen suddenly reached out with his left hand and grabbed the gourd, He Lai Ming was startled and hurriedly clasped his fingers, but where was he Hui Shen's opponent, I saw Hui Shen move his fingers away and grab the gourd. Hui Shen frowned slightly, and thought: "This kid, in the end, is he really a martial arts wizard, can he reach this realm in one night, or is it ......" He Lai Ming said angrily: "Brother Hui Shen, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly come out and snatch my gourd! I know it's me wrong, I fell asleep, but ......" Before he finished speaking, Hui Shen handed the gourd back to him and said, "You do it again." He Laiming did so, only to see that the half of the gourd, as if glued to He Laiming's hand, no matter how to lift it, it never fell, He Laiming was surprised and happy, and continued to put the gourd in the water to grab it. However, after a while, Huang Jing shouted: "Brother Huishen, come quickly." Frightened, He Laiming's hands loosened, and the two gourds fell into the water together, but it was difficult to grab them when they went to pick them up again. Hui Shen turned his head to He Lai Ming and said, "You stay here and continue to practice, and I will come when I go." He replied softly, reaching out and grabbing into the water.

Hui Shen followed the sound and ran towards Huang Jing's side. Seeing Huang Jing squatting short, slowly stroking a small thing, Hui Shen hurriedly asked, "Sister, are you okay!?" Huang Jing shook his head and said in a low voice: "Brother Hui Shen, look." As he spoke, he picked up the little thing. Hui Shen looked at it, it turned out that the small thing was actually a child, the child seemed to be less than a year old, he was already out of breath, leaving five bloody holes on his body, he gasped and said softly: "Blood Claw!?" Huang Jing shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not, seeing that the wounds on this child's body are the same inside and out, I'm afraid he was ......injured by weapons" Hui Shen sighed lightly and shook his head: "You mean, planting? Impossible, people who cultivate Blood Claws use babies and living people to practice and suck the blood of babies, and everyone gets and is punished, so why plant it?" Huang Jing shook his head, put down the baby, and said: "No one lives in this deep mountain, only the two of us stay here...... Hui Shen frowned slightly, and said: "You mean, someone wants to ruin our reputation?" Huang Jing replied: "That's right, we have offended many people in the martial arts by walking the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not come to retaliate." If this spreads, then we will be the sinners to whom everyone will be condemned. This place should not stay for a long time, Huishen, let's go. Hui Shen bowed his head slightly and said, "Yes, but we have to bring He Laiming, and we can't let him be poisoned." ”

The two did not tell He Laiming the reason for leaving Taihang Mountain, and He Laiming did not ask much. The three of them went all the way north, and on the way, the two of them sometimes hurried and sometimes practiced, for fear that He Laiming would see the flaws and scare the children. So He Laiming didn't care, he practiced all the way, and every night he would have the dream related to "Brother Injustice", and the progress of Eagle Claw Gong was getting faster and faster.

One day, the three of them walked to a clearing, and Hui Shen whispered to Huang Jing: "Look, the stumps here are very new, they have just been cut down, you take the little brother He Lai to go first, and I will delay for a while." Huang Jing replied: "Brother Huishen, the other party's purpose is us, if any of us follow him, it is difficult to guarantee that those people will not harm him." Hui Shen nodded, and said to He Laiming: "Little brother He Lai, this place is relatively open, I want to practice with Huang Jing here for a while, you go first, there is a stream ahead, where are you waiting for us." He Laiming said with a smile: "Then why don't I wait for you to finish practicing and then go together." I also happen to want to practice Eagle Claw for a while. ”

"No......" Huishen "no" The word "no" has not yet come out, and suddenly a person said: "That's right, how good it is to stay, one more person to be a companion, and you will not be alone on the road!" As soon as the words fell, eight men in black robes and veils jumped out, each holding a weapon in his hand, one holding a gun, one holding a sword, one holding an axe, one dancing a whip, and the rest holding an iron ruler. Huang Jing arched his hand and said: "I don't know which heroes you are, why don't you show your true face?" The man with the sword at the head smiled and said: "A person who is about to die, and he also wants to know our name?" He Lai Ming saw that these people were bullying more and less, and he was disrespectful, and he picked up the long vine on the ground is a move "Shenlong sees the head" and hit the man with the sword. The man was taken aback, where did he expect that this kid actually had martial arts, and he used it to not lose to adults at all. The man took a few steps back, and with a wave of the long sword, the long vine was split from the middle, and the front end of the long vine suddenly turned into two ends. Huang Jing and the others saw it and said "Huh", such kung fu, Huang Jing is absolutely unable to do it, this person's martial arts are not under the depth of wisdom. He Laiming was taken aback, and before he could react, he was kicked in the abdomen by the man again, and he fell out of pain for several feet and couldn't get up. Huang Jing exclaimed in surprise, pulled out a white-handled long sword and stabbed at the sword-wielding man, the man came to block with a horizontal sword, and the rest of the people did not help each other when they saw this, and attacked Huishen together. The man came to block with a horizontal sword, Huang Jing missed the stab, and as soon as his feet turned, he detoured behind the man and slashed towards the man's neck. The man was short, turned his sword upside down and stabbed Huang Jing from the bottom to the top. Huang Jing hurriedly retreated and barely avoided the sword, but the left side of his face was still grazed by the blade, leaving a faint mark of blood. Hui Shen relied on the eagle claw to fight fiercely, and the grasp was fierce, one of the seven people was injured, and one person blocked the acupoint and could not move, he threw a few punches at the person who took the gun, and the person hurriedly used the bar to block, and the bar immediately left a crack. Hui Shen saw that Huang Jing had lost the upper hand, and said angrily: "Who are you, why do you embarrass us like this!?" The man in charge walked behind a tree, raised a baby covered in blood, and said: "Demon monk, what do you see this! Do you still have to quibble?!" Hui Shen said angrily: "Lao Tzu has a bright and upright life! How can he practice that kind of evil and crooked kung fu! Villain, Hugh has to frame me!"

"Hmph, what about planting you!" said when a sword stood out, stabbing Hui Shen's eyebrows, Hui Shen reached out with his right hand to grab the sword, and his left hand collapsed sideways. With a wave of his long sleeves, the man suddenly shot out an iron chain and hit the door of Hui Shen. Hui Shen didn't expect him to make a sudden move, so he had to bounce off the long chain, but he didn't have time to flick off the long sword, but seeing the blood splattered, a long sword was deeply inserted into Hui Shen's left leg. Those men with iron rulers besieged Huang Jing together, Huang Jing cut left and right, and the fight was indistinguishable for a while. The man pulled out the long sword, and immediately blood splattered, Hui Shen barely stood up, jumped into the air with one leg in the shape of a big peng, and kept grabbing at the man's door. Huishen uses ten successful forces for every grab, only attacking but not defending, which is obviously a lifeless way of playing. Even though Hui Shen was seriously injured, in the face of Hui Shen's life skills, he didn't dare to take it hard, only to see that Hui Shen's moves were fatal, and each move was only rubbed, leaving a bloody mark on that person. The two of them got bigger and faster, and the man in black suddenly laughed and said, "You have the ability to pick me up for this trick!" When he said that, he turned around and punched it to the side, Hui Shen didn't know what it meant, and looked to the left, but saw that this person was actually hitting Huang Jing's heart. Hui Shen shouted: "No!" stepped behind Huang Jing and took the palm stiffly. The man hit him in the chest, and Hui took a sweet throat, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and felt weak and sat on the ground. Huang Jing was distracted, his shoulders were connected to the middle four feet, and suddenly his shoulder bones were broken, the pain was unbearable, and the long sword fell to the ground. The man raised his sword and smiled, "I'll finish you now!"

"Can't be killed, he's a good man!" In an instant, He Lai Ming spread his hands in front of the man's sword, and his eyes glared at the man. The man said in a deep voice: "I know that he is a good man, so I want to kill him." Child, you like him so much, nail you together!" He Lai Ming knew that he was bound to die here, and although he was unwilling in his heart, he had no choice but to close his eyes and lead to death. In the darkness, he heard Huang Jing shouting "Stop!", heard the sound of the wind blowing, heard the sound of the stream not far away, and heard the sound of the long sword breaking through the air......

"Leave people under the sword!" but a lion's roar was heard, and then the sound of the long sword clanging to the ground reached He Laiming's ears. When he opened his eyes, there was an eight-foot man standing in front of him, the man was dressed in a black robe with gold threads, holding a fine steel fan in his hand, and five locks of long beards fluttering in the wind. I saw that Buping suddenly kicked the ground with both feet, and in an instant he bullied everyone's body, and the iron fan poked a few times on everyone's body, and everyone suddenly fell to the ground. The man with the sword at the head retreated and sat down on the ground. Uneven said angrily to the man in charge: "I have ordered your death hole, you will die of anger in half a month, if you want to live, leave quickly, I will find you in a few days and help you solve the hole." A few others," Buping stroked his long beard and said, "If you dare to exercise, your breath will be blocked, the paralysis will be small, and the madness will be big." The acupuncture point will be untied in two hours, get out!" The leader picked up the long sword and said, "I met you below, may I ask who your Excellency is?" Buping snorted softly: "You are also worthy! Don't get out quickly!" The leader was taken aback, and after a while he had fled without a trace. Seeing this, Huang Jing loosened the string in his heart, and immediately fainted to the ground. Seeing this, He Lai Ming said with tears in her eyes: "Quick, you save Brother Huishen." The uneven hand lightly put on Huishen's wrist, frowned, and shook his head unconsciously. Hui Shen smiled bloodily: "Senior, Hui Shen's heart has been broken, don't bother." It's just that I haven't asked for the name of my predecessor yet...... cough cough ......" Buping said in a low voice: "The world calls the surname, and the word 'Ping' is 'uneven'." When Hui Shen heard this name, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It turned out to be a senior of Ping who was unjust in the world, and it is really a privilege to see you!" He took out a wooden box from his arms and whispered to Hui Shen: "Little brother, you are righteous and kind by nature." This is the treasure that my teacher passed on to me. I have always carried it with me, and you are also half of my apprentice, so I passed it on to you. Quick, open it and take a look. ”

He Laiming took the wooden box, opened the copper buckle, and saw twelve small clay figurines placed inside. The clay figurines pose and do it vividly, but the lack of facial features is a fly in the ointment. He Lai Ming said happily: "Brother Hui Shen, you see it is eighteen little clay figures!" But Hui Shen did not answer, He Lai Ming looked up and saw that Hui Shen had died of anger.
