On the way to Yangzhou by boat, Xiaoding and the others passed by a town called Majiatuozi Town.

When they got off the boat and were about to go to the town for lunch, they watched a contest between a master Ma named Ma Baoguo and a disciple of Lingjian Villa on the street.

For the Spirit Sword Villa, Xiao Ding has long heard of it. This is also one of the four famous mountain villas in the martial arts, and the Li Xingchen he had met before who stole the Red Refining Flame Fruit from King Mu's Mansion was a senior from the Spirit Sword Villa.

Later, Li Xingchen was seriously injured and was poisoned by the funeral nail of the old immortal. As a result, the four Red Refining Flame Fruits he stole were cheaper for Xiao Ding.

Although that Master Ma boasted about it, the exercises in his hands were not very good at all. It didn't take a few clicks to connect his face to the several punches of the disciple of the Spirit Sword Villa.

After being beaten and bruised and swollen, he still refused to admit it, saying that young people did not talk about martial arts, and it was his subordinates who showed mercy and carelessness before he was attacked.

However, when he saw that there were four or five Fanbang people who wanted to bully the disciple of the Spirit Sword Villa, he also said on the side: "Fight more and fight less, don't talk about martial arts!" ”

The great Uighurs of Fanbang, but no one paid attention to what the master Ma was saying, they thought that the young man opposite had a spirit sword in his hand, but they were unwilling to give it to them, so they tried to grab it.

The young disciple of the Spirit Sword Villa was very helpless, seeing that these people were going to besiege him, he had no choice but to put on a posture and get ready, there was no way, he had to fight hard!

Xiao Ding, who was standing on the periphery of the crowd, frowned, he thought in his mind, how could the martial arts people of this state also come to the Great Song Kingdom to stir up? What exactly are the eyes of the earth they call them?

Just as he was contemplating his brows, there was already a fight in the arena.

The four or five Fanbang people did not draw their weapons, and they all used their fists and feet to fight with the disciple of the Spirit Sword Villa.

This time, the young disciples of Spirit Sword Villa were not as relaxed as when they fought Ma Bao Pot.

He had enemies in front of him, left and right, and in a few moments, he was punched several times on his body, which made him grin his teeth, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Xiao Ding couldn't bear it when he saw that the disciple of the Spirit Sword Villa was beaten, and he was thinking about whether to help, but he saw that something had happened in the field at this time.

The young man did not pay any attention and was kicked in the crook of the leg by a great Uighur from Fanbang. The young man was unsteady on his feet, staggered a few steps and fell to the ground. Those Fanbang people came forward and punched and kicked.

When Xiao Ding saw it, if several people continued to fight like this, even if they didn't beat the young man to death, they would have to be seriously injured. So as soon as his mind moved, he had a few more iron nails in his hand, and he used his spiritual power in his hand to shoot out towards those Fanbang people.

At the same time, he also learned the tone of the master Ma who was sitting in the arena and said: "Deceive more and less, don't talk about martial arts!" ”

The few Fanbang people in the field, each of them were shot with an iron nail. They called out a few times, and then looked at Xiao Ding in unison.

As soon as the melon-eating crowds around Xiao Ding saw the vicious eyes of those Fanbang people, they all dodged to both sides, so Xiao Ding was the only one left standing there.

The Fanbang people pointed at Xiao Ding and shouted angrily: "Who are you? How dare you attack our Qur'an? Don't you want to live anymore? ”

Xiao Ding had never heard of any Quranism, and his understanding of the martial arts sects of the Great Song Kingdom was very limited, let alone the martial arts sects of the Great Uighur Kingdom.

Therefore, those Fanbang people used what kind of Quran religion to scare Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding didn't care at all. said lightly: "My name is Tian Xiaoding, seeing that there are many of you bullying people, you really don't talk about martial arts, so I took action to stop you." He doesn't have what you want, so you might as well go. ”

Several Fanbang people were all hit by Xiao Ding's iron nails, although they didn't hit the vital places, but it hurt to nail them on the meat.

After they glanced at each other, they felt that Xiao Ding hurt a few of them as soon as he made a move, and he was definitely not a character to mess with. So there was cowardice in his heart, and the man at the head opened his mouth and said: "Okay, you Tian Xiaoding, we remember you, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, we will not care about you today, wait for him to meet again one day, don't blame us for being polite!" ”

After saying a few words, several of them turned around and slipped into the crowd, without looking back.

Xiao Ding walked into the center of the arena and came to the disciple of the Spirit Sword Villa, and saw that although he was not seriously injured, he was also covered with scars all over his body, his face was full of bruises, and his two eyes were swollen and narrowed into a slit.

"Are you alright? Can you still get up on your own? Xiao Ding asked the young man by bending down slightly.

"Thank you to Engong for coming to the rescue. I'll give it a try, oh-" The young man glanced at Xiao Ding gratefully with his eyes, which were almost unable to open, and struggled to get up from the ground.

Xiao Ding took out the trauma medicine that Yue Yurou gave him from the space, poured out two pills, handed them to the young man, and said: "These two wound medicines, one is taken orally, and the other is crushed and mixed with rice wine to paste and applied to the wound. In a few days, your injuries will heal. ”

The young man sat on the ground, took the pill, and waved to Xiao Ding again and again, and thanked him in his mouth: "Thank you so much, thank you so much!" I just heard Engong say that your surname is Tian, right, I am a disciple of Lingjian Villa, named Duan Jiacai. ”

Xiao Ding nodded again and again when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart, your name is ruthless enough, and you dare to cut off your family wealth, you don't want to leave a way for your family to live! I don't know why his dad gave him such a name.

Feeling funny in his heart, Xiao Ding asked jokingly on a whim: "You are called Duan Jiacai, then your father must be called a broken back road?" ”

Who would have thought that this disciple of the Spirit Sword Villa named Duan Jiacai actually nodded and said, "Engong is really a god!" I can actually guess my father's name, my father is indeed called Duan Houlu. ”

Xiao Ding almost fell, but he didn't expect that he was just joking, but he really hit Meng right by mistake. Seeing that this young man had a blue nose and swollen face, and a blue and purple body, he felt very funny, so he continued to joke: "Then your family will definitely not be a rich family." "The family wealth and Houlu have been cut off, so I still want to save money!

Duan Jiacai nodded again and said, "Engong guessed correctly, my family is indeed a poor family, so my father sent me to the Spirit Sword Villa as a disciple since I was a child, so that I can have a full meal." ”

At this time, Xiao Ding suddenly thought that Lingjian Villa didn't seem to be near this called Majiatuozi Town, so what was this Duan Jiacai doing here? So he opened his mouth and asked, "Since you are a disciple of Spirit Sword Villa, why did you come here?" ”

Duan Jiacai said with a sad face: "I was originally sent out by the owner Li Jianhao like other disciples, and invited fellow martial artists to our Spirit Sword Villa to help. When passing by this town, I heard that there is a head of the Great Pole Gate in this town, and his martial arts are very powerful, so I wanted to invite him temporarily, who would have thought that this master of the Great Pole Gate would despise our Spirit Sword Villa, so I made an appointment with him to try it here. As a result, the master Ma couldn't help but fight, and I didn't use much strength, and I knocked him to the ground with a few punches. But he said that I don't talk about martial arts when I am a young man, alas, ......" Speaking of this, Duan Jiacai sighed lightly.

Xiao Ding was full of questions, so he continued to ask: "Please go to Lingjian Villa to help?" How can it help? Why help? ”

Duan Jiacai saw Xiao Ding ask again, and continued to sigh and said: "It's not Teng Snake Island outside Yuezhou, the people on their island say that the Teng Snake Old Immortal of Teng Snake Island has been missing for more than half a year, and there are rumors that Teng Snake Old Immortal has had a fight with our senior uncle Li Xingchen senior, so they suspect that it was our senior uncle Li Xingchen who killed their Teng Snake Island Teng Snake Old Immortal, so they came to find trouble with our Spirit Sword Villa." ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he secretly said in his heart, the old fairy of the Teng Snake had joined forces with Meng Po of the Spirit Castle to fight with him not long ago, they were hit by their own iron nails, and now they don't know where to hide to heal their wounds, and the disciples and grandchildren under her disciples actually ran to the Spirit Sword Villa to find trouble.

In fact, this matter is directly related to the underdevelopment of information in this era. Moreover, when Li Xingchen was poisoned to death by Teng Snake Lao Xian that day, only Xiao Ding was present to witness it.

If Xiao Ding doesn't say anything about this matter, others can't know about it.

However, Xiao Ding did spread the word about this matter, and what he said was that Teng Snake Old Immortal snatched the version of Li Xingchen's Red Refining Flame Fruit. So, on the rivers and lakes behind, there were rumors that the old immortal Teng Snake had obtained the Red Refining Flame Fruit, and the rumor that Xiao Ding, who had been spread by the Teng Snake Old Immortal, had obtained the Red Refining Flame Fruit.

These two versions of the rumors, except for the parties involved, no one can confirm who is true and who is false. Xiao Ding guessed that it was estimated that the people on the Teng Snake Island heard about the version they had passed out, and they lost the news of the Teng Snake Old Immortal, so they guessed the head of the Spirit Sword Villa.

However, as one of the four major villas of martial arts, Lingjian Villa also has a thousand-year-old heritage, not to mention the profound heritage, but it is not comparable to ordinary sects, how can they send people out to seek support from fellow martial arts practitioners?

Xiao Ding had a question in his heart, so he immediately asked: "Isn't your Spirit Sword Villa still able to deal with the people of Teng Snake Island?"

Duan Jiacai raised his head and said: "If it is just their own masters on Tengsnake Island, our village owner plus several senior uncles and uncles in the villa can also deal with it." However, the people of Teng Snake Island invited a few strong men from Fanbang out of nowhere. Our owner once had a fight with one of them, and although we didn't decide whether to win or lose at the time, our owner said that if he continued to fight, he would not be able to beat that strongman. Therefore, later, our owner and the owner of Tengsnake Island agreed to set up a ring for an open competition. If we win, they will be responsible for the death of my uncle Li Xingchen; If we lose, then we must provide them with the whereabouts of the Snake Immortal, and at the same time, we must also hand over the spirit sword of our Spirit Sword Villa, otherwise, they will destroy our Spirit Sword Villa. ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart that it was for the spirit sword, it seems that the people of Teng Snake Island said that they were looking for the whereabouts of the old fairy of Teng Snake, which was completely an excuse! Their real purpose is still for the spirit sword. However, isn't the spirit sword on the rivers and lakes that is the legendary Spirit Sword Villa already lost? Why is there always someone going to fight the idea of the Spirit Sword Villa Spirit Sword recently?

What kind of conspiracy was contained in this, Xiao Ding couldn't guess, he felt that the Duan family wealth on the other side was just a disciple of the villa, and he would definitely not know the specific details, so he didn't continue to ask.

Instead, he turned to something else and said, "Where are you going next?" ”

Duan Jiacai touched his already swollen face and said, "I plan to go to the inn to recuperate first, and then go to the Shenhuo Hall and Chiyu Pavilion in Zhongzhou to deliver an invitation." ”

Xiao Ding nodded and said, "Okay, can you still return to the inn yourself?" Do you need me to send you back? ”

Duan Jiacai struggled to stand up, shook his body and said, "Thank you Tian Engong, I can go back by myself, in the future, Tian Engong can go to Lingjian Villa to find me when he is free, our villa is on the edge of Taihu Lake." ”

Xiao Ding saw that although this piece of family wealth was shaky, he could barely walk back, so he didn't plan to send him, so he said, "Okay, I will definitely visit if I have the chance." You should also pay attention these days, try to go out as little as possible, and don't run into those Fanbang people again. There are some things that are not clear with their theories. ”

Duan Jiacai nodded in agreement, thanked again and again, and then staggered out of the crowd.

At this time, Master Ma Baoguo, who was still sitting not far away, looked at Duan Jiacai's back, and said again: "Young man, if you don't talk about martial arts, you will be retributioned so soon, right?" ”

Xiao Ding thought it was funny, so he turned his head to look at Ma Baoguo, and quipped, "Master Ma, why do you want to use an iron pot as a weapon?" ”

After Ma Baoguo rolled his eyes and glanced at Xiao Ding, he said, "Young man, don't you know that there is a pot in my name?" My name is the Cauldron, so naturally I want to use the iron cauldron as a weapon. If my name was Ma Baojian, then I would definitely use a sword as a weapon. Moreover, the iron pot is practical and convenient, every family has it, and the price is cheaper than the sword. ”

Sounds reasonable! Xiao Ding secretly said in his heart, you are right, if you really call Ma Bao cheap, Guan Bao will be very cheap. It turned out that he chose to use the pot as a weapon, and the real reason should be in the last sentence he said. That is, the price is cheap, and every family has it. You can pick it up and use it, and you don't have to spend extra money to buy it.

However, Xiao Ding thought that he had already delayed a lot of time when he went ashore this time, and he should go to dinner first, otherwise he would be late to go back later, and wouldn't it be very troublesome for the boat to leave.

So, he didn't have the interest to continue to make fun of Master Ma, but just arched his hand at Ma Baoguo and said: "I hope Master Ma can break through the bottleneck as soon as possible and make further progress in martial arts. ”

With that, he waved to the others in the crowd who had disembarked with him and motioned for everyone to leave together.

At this time, the surrounding onlookers who ate melons knew that Xiao Ding did not come here alone to meddle in things.
