Chapter 1: A Glimpse of a Small Town

The literati appraised the flower species, and there were ten names. The pen is www.biquge.info with roses and thorns, so it is called an assassin. This phrase is from "The Tale of the Six Doors".

*******

On September 28, in the city of Songjiang Prefecture, it was a calm night with a cool night as cold as water and a breeze like silk.

Under the bright moon, the thousand-year-old locust tree representing the history of Fucheng, the shadow of the tree is swaying, and the sound of the leaves is swaying, like a night moth flying to a fire. Suddenly, a black shadow flew out of the trees, and several houses flew through the air, and with the leaves that had just fallen to the ground, they floated silently and unsteadily beside a stone well. The man in black thought for a moment, stretched his body slightly, and was about to make a move. Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me: "Don't move, can you tear off the hood?" ”

Pang Yu nested comfortably in the corner of the roof of a house near the mansion, and with the breeze blowing on his face, thinking of the strange friend in the distance in Montenegro, as if he had seen the ghost mound of the grave with phosphorus fire in the distance, smelling the fragrance of lotus leaves in the nearby blue pond, and couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth.

As soon as the idea of visiting your best friend at night was born, a black dot suddenly appeared in the full moon above his head, and in the blink of an eye, he had turned into a human form and swept away with his back to him.

Pang Yu slid to the bottom of the flat ridge along the arc of the ridge, his feet arched slightly, his body rose elegantly, his index finger was a little empty, and with the boasting of his lips, a locust leaf brought by the black shadow man spun beautifully on his fingertips, "Hmm, it's another eventful autumn!" ”

"Iron Tree" Qiao stood steadily at the top of Lion Mountain, he looked into the distance, and the direction of his vision was not the moonlight in front of Songjiang Fucheng, but the world-famous Xiuye Bridge three miles away. He, like Mr. Ji Ying Zhang Han, has a special mind when he is in the autumn wind. If it weren't for the task codenamed "Dark Flower", thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel relieved, it was in vain for the three of us to come here without sleep for three nights.

"With the blessing of Master Qiao, you can finally taste the umami of the four cheeks." It was a young man named Gao Fei behind him who spoke.

Qiao Wen's mind came up with the relevant record of this person in the Six Doors Catcher Roster.

Name: Gao Fei.

Age: Twenty-one.

Ranking: 3rd (new).

Nickname: Swallow Shuttle.

Martial arts: Swallow Thirteen Sword Style.

……

Characteristics: well-behaved, tepid, treating, decent and thoughtful.

Disadvantages: The internal force is not deep enough.

As it was.

Hearing this, he turned around and looked at this person's eyes with reverence and conviction, as if he was not worried about the success or failure of the trip.

Of course, I think that 30 years ago, I would have known Kyoto as "the iron tree blooms, and nine out of ten are stable", and there are no thieves in the world. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be angry, and said while laughing: "Haha, little ghost, I'm patting the old man's ass again." ”

He knew in his heart that this time was just the right time, and there was a reason for it, and he couldn't do it. Since the transfer of the military department to the household department, it has been a semi-retired state, and every time there is a case, the credit will be given to the younger generation. This time is the same, you must know that there are not many noble sons who are engaged in such a humble profession of catching fast.

Qiao Wentan touched Gao Fei's shoulder, and after summarizing the young man's routine just now, he turned around and turned his back, looked at the distant Songjiang Mansion City, and sighed: "The three-day 'forbidden cultivation' has not been in vain, remember to persevere." From today onwards, return to eating and drinking, and don't hurt the internal organs."

Gao Fei stared at the tall back of this Taishan Beidou in the fast catching world, his silver beard and white hair were flying, and he naturally didn't pay attention to the change in the old man's expression and tone. He was excited about the fact that after just sitting in a cross-legged position for twelve weeks, his internal strength was full and his true qi was flowing through his body. But I don't know that this old man sighed that this gentleman was in his early teens, and he reached the state of 'three flowers gathering at the top', which was quite inferior to the courage of the year.

Gao Fei got up cross-legged, slightly grateful, but said in his mouth: "Master Qiao, don't worry, the tiger will come back late with the knife, he must have encountered something else, and he will be in no danger with his skills." "The 'tiger with a knife' he said in his mouth is the third person on their trip, the guard with a knife in front of the palace, the five grades of the official residence, Qiao Wen's right-hand man for many years, and the tiger palace minister. is as arrogant as Gao Fei, and his tone can't help but be filled with admiration.

Qiao Wen's analysis of his acquaintance was no longer strange, and he gathered to stare, and said in his mouth: "It's coming!" I saw a pair of fine pupils flickering in the mist at the foot of the mountain, and in a few breaths, the tiger and leopard jumped up the mountain, and the branches and leaves trembled and flew everywhere they went. Gao Fei was amazed by the momentum of his "Tiger Abyss", and in a blink of an eye, this person was already kneeling on his left knee in front of Qiao Wen, "Yushu Gong, I know that I will guard the city, but I can enter the city." ”

The Hudian was honored as "Shugong" and marched because he was the tiger head soldier of Qiao Wen's old outpost battalion, and Qiao Wen was the head of the three armies in front of the battalion.

"Did you find any thieves?" Hu Dianchen did not report that he was late, and he was waiting for this name.

"It's not like the target person."

"How do you know?"

"Grow your hair, monk's clothes." Hu Dianchen replied with a strange contradiction.

The other two did not have the slightest suspicion of this statement. Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the tiger palace minister's pair of tiger eyes can also be observed within a hundred zhang.

"Where?"

"On the eaves near the palace."

"Martial arts?"

"When I waved, my shirt was shining gold, but it didn't look like it was caused by martial arts."

"What are the results?" Qiao Wen said a word coldly, but asked Gao Fei, who was listening and had not spoken for a long time.

"Seven out of ten is not the goal of our trip, flower thief jade waist slave."

"How do you know?"

"As the tiger with the knife said, I have not seen his black clothes and masked face, not like his wind; But it is not excluded that the disguise, such a contradictory dress, gives a strong impression, and can completely blind its true colors. ”

"Hmm..."

"Is there another possibility?"

"Say!" It seems that Qiao Wen also affirmed the previous speculation.

"The yellow finch chases the praying mantis and rejoices in the night cicada."

"Surprise? The target person? Flower thief? Four watches? Qiao Wen has an understanding of his jumping association, you must know that whether it is for senior or new arresters, intuition is often the key to solving the case.

"Four watches? That's right, this person is a Buddhist temple announcer. ”

"The Dawner?" It was the Tiger Palaceman who had not spoken for a long time. He has always believed that practical action is greater than thinking and scrutiny, which is also where Shugong has always taught and appreciated him, and he is vigorous and resolute. So the words are slightly surprising, but more impatient catharsis.

"This is the ancient style of advocating Buddhism's teachings, four watches every day, the mountains and temples ring the bell, people knock on the iron plate wooden fish along the street to report the dawn, urge people to get up early, the golden light you see is shining, it must be a sleeve gold picture of the rooster crowing." Gao Fei said, "There are poems and clouds in the "Hubu Tongjian", the dark tree five watches and chickens report the dawn, and the three stacks of drums in the evening court urge the ya. It's just that there are still some things that feel wrong, but I can't say it for a while. ”

"And what do you suspect?" Hu Dianchen knew that he was so scholarly and dropped his bag, just to attract his own interest, and when he saw that Shugong was silent, he answered his wishes.

"You must know that the report is not made by the novice or the farmer by the temple, how can the martial arts be low, so it is very likely that it is easy to be a flower thief."

"Then now are you going to the government office or to the Qinglou?" Hu Dianchen seemed to ask Gao Fei, but he was waiting for Qiao Wen's opinion. Gao Fei shrugged his shoulders unintentionally, and also looked at Qiao Wen and waited for him to agree.

Qiao Wen also felt that time was running out, and his words were concise: "The tiger and I went to the mansion, and Yanzai went down to the Qinglou." After speaking, the three of them disappeared into the mountain fog and rushed towards this famous city.

Pang Yu is the person described by Qiao Wen and the other three as "growing hair, monk's robes, and embroidered with a picture of a rooster chirping".

The Baiyun Yuanshan Temple, three miles outside the Bibo Xiuye Bridge, is the place where he and his master traveled here three years ago and stayed until now. The two scenery and the moon firefly in the city are called "the three ancient scenery of Songcheng". The fame of Yuanshan Temple lies in the Baiyun Cave in the mountain behind it and an ancient bell in the temple. Since the Baiyun host sat in the Baiyun Cave a hundred years ago, the hosts of the past dynasties could not ring the ancient bell of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Legend has it that the Buddhas of all generations said that when Zen crossed the world, they caressed the wall with flowers, chanted Sanskrit, one of the extremely important altar opening instruments, and did not know when and where the smoke was lost in this temple. Pang Yushi respects its tripod, understands its law, and plays the inner wall of the tripod with ten fingers of the flower, harmonizes the sound source of the ten directions, and penetrates the whole body of the law tripod, not only the aftersound surrounds the temple, but also the sound spreads to the household of a hundred miles. Of course, the current presiding master will not put this light Buddha Yao Zu, a good opportunity to rejuvenate the temple, and secretly discuss with Li Yutang, the city order, and wish to pay a cent of interest on the incense and fire money in the year. Of course, the city order is well understood, and it is clear that it is a measure that can improve the performance and finances. So the wealthy family in the united city rebuilt the road of the temple and reshaped the golden body of the Buddha in the Daxiong Palace, and since then the incense in the temple is prosperous, and the Sanskrit sound of the morning bell is curling.

After that, Pang Yu said, "Don't move, can you tear off the hood?" If there are quite a consequence antecedents, the man in black was shocked to stagnate, and his expression was dazed. You must know that before he flew down, he deliberately turned high and low on the eaves, and the main reason was to peep into the whereabouts of night walkers within ten zhang.

Pang Yu put his hands on his back, standing calmly and leisurely, like a jade face, looking at the back of the man in black.

Of course, the man in black didn't delve into the meaning of Pang Yu's words, he only felt that the distance and direction of this person completely avoided his attacks with techniques such as "Night Battle in the Eight Directions" and "Yaksha in the Sea", and at the same time, what made him ashamed was that the other party's spirit was tightly locked on the main artery behind his neck, and the slightest movement would cause a sword-like pressure to penetrate his throat. He secretly wondered where this person was sacred, and his heart moved, and his two fingers were slowly pressed between his throats.

Pang Yu didn't want the man in black to be so agreeable, seeing that he put his fingers to his neck, as if he wanted to take off the hood, of course he wouldn't pay attention to the trachea agitation at the base of his ears and throat under the hood of the man in black. When I exhaled easily, I heard a miserable and distant voice that seemed to rise from the well, "Mai ~ Xiu ~ Liang ~ Qi!" ”

He threw his concentration on Gu Jing in horror, looking confused, "What? When the shock was undecided, I only heard the sound of flickering.

It turned out that after Pang Yu was relieved and suspicious, the man in black took off Pang Yu's spiritual lock, and he didn't see how to wave the wooden barrel that drew water and flew over.

Pang Yu didn't take the liberty of slapping the barrel, it was conceivable that the sawdust water droplets were splashing, and the hidden internal strength would hit several important points on his chest.

He regained his mood, his body swept up, and his left hand and left foot flew out and attacked the man in black who had already turned around.

According to common sense, since it is a direct split with the left palm, it is absolutely impossible to kick with the left foot at the same time, because if the hands and feet fly in the same direction, the body will lose balance and be easily taken advantage of by the enemy, so it must be used with both hands and feet, which is also the left hand and right foot, or vice versa.

The man in black didn't know if he was at a loss by his strange tricks or if he saw through this and still made a false move, and he didn't move like a black stone.

Pang Yu was helpless, scratched his wrist with his right hand and held the barrel rope, his body miraculously rotated, and his right foot kicked hard, and his toes hooked the jade pillow point on the back of the man in black's head.

The man in black didn't make any blocks, his body shook like a ghost, avoiding Pang Yu's killing move, and the charged punch hit the air like helplessly, but Pang Yu's body seemed to be pulled by a strange force, and his back hit the center of the fist.

Pang Yu couldn't dodge, stretched out his arms and palms, and his hands, feet and bodies collapsed in a straight line, and he was about to take this blow hard.

The man in black only listened to the sound of "porphyry", not the sound of the vertebrae cracking as he wished, like hitting in cotton wool, and most of his energy suddenly disappeared.

It turned out that when Pang Yu was tracking the man in black, he realized that his sleeved gold monk's robe was eye-catching, and he had folded it into thick pieces, and hid his waist and back in a tight-fitting suit.

Although half of his strength was dissipated by this robe, he was also shocked to the point that his blood and qi were surging, and his body flew out like a giant tree.

The man in black was furious when he saw the situation, and the essence between the veils was flourishing, his fists turned into palms, his feet stepped forward, and he followed him, chasing Pang Yu who flew out.

You must know that people in the rivers and lakes, if they want to reach the peak of martial arts, they will not wear "golden silk armor" and "cold hedgehog clothing" to protect. One is that the opponent will be ridiculed for his low martial arts, this kind of thing has nowhere except to protect his henchmen from direct injury. The ability of a real master penetrates the armor, causing the internal organs to be fragmented, and the misery of the injury is worse than death. In addition, it is possible to attack the mind, face, hands and feet that cannot protect it, and the purpose of killing can also be achieved. The second is that it will rely too much on it, and it will be difficult to go to the next level in the direction of martial arts.

The man in black mistakenly thought that Pang Yu had relied on his treasure clothes to make such a thrilling and fatal move, so he did not hesitate to attack the Heavenly Spirit Acupoint above Pang Yu's head. Seeing that he was about to touch his face, he was about to turn his palm into a claw to take Pang Yu's head, and suddenly felt that his chest was pressed, as if he was hit by a giant tree, and a familiar and powerful energy from himself was about to penetrate his heart.

The direction in which Pang Yu was knocked away was not a common downward arc, but an upward flying whirl, and when the man in black was close to his face, he was strong and stagnant in the air, and due to his own rotation and centrifugation, the fist strength gathered from the man in black was thrown back to the man in black.

The man in black used his old moves at this time, his body had been taken off the ground, and he could not regenerate new power, so he had to change his internal breath, turning his fist into a fist, fist into a claw, and a claw into a palm.

Under the moonlight, the strong gangqi collided and intertwined, and the streamer flew and dissipated in an instant. Both of them felt the air rushing to their faces, but there was no sound. Listening only to the three sounds of "boom", "horn" and "sudden", the atmosphere that was oppressed by ghosts and tricks for a while and could not be vented was destroyed without a trace.

There was a thud and the sound of a wooden barrel hitting the ground. It can be seen that although the two of them have lived and died several times, the dangerous and infinite alternation of attack and defense is only a short period of time.

The sound of the horn was the sound of Pang Yu falling to the ground. The last move is one of the two great tricks of the "Sumeru Jin" of Buddhism from his teacher, called "Jagged Waves". This move is driven by rotating yin energy, with the operation of the body, the force is light at the beginning and heavy at the end, and the obstruction is even worse, just like the undulating waves of driftwood, the force can turn the boat and swallow the whale. Pang Yu used this trick to consume the giant true yuan, and landed uncontrollably, and the two blush that rose on his cheeks gradually faded, and were replaced by a pale face that was not Jiankang.

Suddenly, there was the sound of the man in black falling to the ground. Unlike Pang Yu, he fell vertically, and his heel hit the ground to support his balance. You must know that the man in black comes from a secret sect, and he is the one who has comprehended the inner strength of his sect, and he has always been lonely and self-appreciative, so the martial arts he evolved into are called "intentional among flowers". There are a total of ten tricks in "Intentional Flowers", and what he just made is one of the must-save tricks, called "Picking Chrysanthemums in the South Fence and Sorrowful Autumn Wind". The implication is that even if *, the branches and stems are swaying and about to break, and the chrysanthemum petals do not fall in the wind, no matter how strong they are, they are gone. The two sides beckoned, and it seemed that he had a slight upper hand, but in fact, his mouth was already bloody under the cover, and his blood was surging, although he looked ordinary on the outside, but in terms of body movements, he knew that he had been seriously injured.

At this time, both sides felt that they had encountered the most difficult opponent in their lives, although they heard each other's heavy breathing and rapid heartbeat, but they both felt that they had no chance of winning, and they were not willing to fight for a while, and both of them regretted a little that they did not carry weapons. The two of them are like this, one is lying still, the other is solemn and swinging, looking at each other accordingly.

Pang Yu's left elbow is on the ground, his fist rests on his temple, his left foot is bent and his feet are hanging down, his eyes are opening and closing, and he is in a posture of being full of treasures.

The black cloth was shocked when he saw it, and suddenly remembered the most feared person mentioned by the master, and the healing method was exactly like this, could it be that this person was his disciple, and he was suddenly murderous, and wanted to kill again. If he misses this opportunity, because he is a disciple of that person, he will have immortal talents, and it will be difficult to clean up in the future.

Pang Yu seemed to be inducted, his black hair was flying, his clothes were swelling, but he said slowly: "I don't know if the person who comes is a friend or an enemy?" ”

After hearing this, the man in black retreated step by step, and finally disappeared into the shade of the tree next to the well, and the murderous aura gradually dissipated. The bright moon and clouds entered and exited, and the black shadow under the tree finally disappeared.

It turned out that the two of them had heard the art of discerning the wind from the ground, and they had learned that there were night walkers coming in this direction, so Pang Yu took the lead in taking the lead, and the people in black were uncertain, and the people who came were friends or enemies, so they had to pass away first.

Pang Yu breathed a deep sigh of relief, and after countless sounds of clothes breaking through the wind in his ears, he saw a tall figure with crane hair and silver beard and an official badge on his waist falling, so he closed his eyes and meditated with confidence, and his consciousness returned to chaos.
