Chapter 17: Bad News

"Master, we're back!"

Guo Song and Gan Lei walked into the gate of Qingxuguan, and saw Master Mu Zhenren pacing back and forth in the courtyard, holding a post in his hand, looking a little preoccupied.

"You're back!"

Mu Zhenren stepped forward to look at the bamboo basket and said with a smile: "There are so many fish, it seems that today's harvest is good!" ”

Gan Lei scratched his head and said, "Master, we can't eat so many fish, and we don't have salt to salt it, so it's better to sell them!" ”

"Nonsense!"

Guo Song glared at Gan Lei, "Isn't there still a little eagle?" Sell what you sell! ”

"Damn! You can't keep it for the rest of your life! ”

"I do, what's the matter, I caught these fish."

"That's it! All right! You two stop arguing. ”

Mu Zhenren shook his head with a smile, and said to Gan Lei: "Today's harvest is good, pick a dozen big fish and send them to Jingle Palace." ”

"Master, why are you giving it to them?"

"How can there be so much nonsense, if you are told to send it, I will send it!"

Gan Lei had no choice but to mumble and go to the kitchen, picked out a dozen big fish, and then carried the fish basket down the mountain to the Jingle Palace in the East Peak.

"Master, I'm going to cook!"

Guo Song was just about to leave, but Mu Zhenren stopped him, "Let the fourth child cook, I have something to say to you." ”

Guo Song stopped and stood respectfully in front of the master, Mu Zhenren handed him the post in his hand, "This is sent by Zixiao Heavenly Palace, about the matter of the martial arts, the rules have been modified, you can see for yourself!" ”

Guo Song has posted a post, which is an invitation post to the martial arts club, and the time is the eighth day of the fourth month, that is, three days later, and the location is the martial arts training ground of Zixiao Heavenly Palace.

Conditions of Participation.........

Sure enough, the age was changed, over fourteen years old, under thirty years old.

"You already know?" Mu Zhenren saw that Guo Song's expression was very flat, so he asked curiously.

Guo Song nodded, "Senior brother saw it on the notice outside the gate of Zixiao Heavenly Palace, but the disciple didn't understand a little, do we have to participate?" ”

"What, you don't want to participate?" Mu Zhenren asked with a smile.

"Disciple...... The disciples didn't know either. ”

Guo Song is indeed a little conflicted in his heart, he has always disliked to show himself in public, this is the character left by him in his previous life, but if he doesn't compete with others, how can he know where his martial arts have come?

Mu Zhenren smiled slightly: "I told you before, Qingxuguan strictly forbids fighting with Zixiao Daoists, but legal duels are not among them, haven't you long seen Xuanhu Palace unpleasantly?" Do you want to let go of this great opportunity to clean them up? ”

Guo Song shook his head, "If it's just for this, the disciple doesn't want to participate." ”

Mu Zhenren continued to negotiate conditions with him, "If you can kill the top five, we don't have to hand in the prey for a year, if you can kill the top three, that is five years without handing in the prey, and you can also get a reward of 300 catties of oil and 300 catties of salt. Three hundred pounds of salt can give you enough to eat. ”

At this time, the fourth Ganyu jumped over and said with a smile: "Master, you said as if the first place was set up for us." ”

Mu Zhenren knocked him on the head and scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, if you can practice martial arts hard, you can also take the first place." ”

Guo Song picked up two wooden sticks from the ground, threw one to Ganyu, and said with a smile: "Fourth senior brother, let's compete with the sword once." ”

Ganyu didn't answer, with a look of contempt, "You actually want me to compare swords with wooden sticks, am I so cheap?" ”

He smiled and said to Mu Zhenren: "Master, borrow one!" ”

"Alright! I will lend it to you. ”

With a cheer, Ganyu rushed to the master's room, and in a moment took out two swords, one was the master's cross ironwood sword, and the other was a sharp iron sword.

The iron sword is the sword of Mu Zhenren's son, he stayed on the mountain when he left, Ganyu and Gan Lei were so greedy that they wanted to get this iron sword in their hands.

The martial arts will use swords to compete in martial arts, although the Taoist priests usually use wooden swords or blunt swords without blades, but the martial arts will use real swords, and there are many Taoist deaths and injuries in each martial arts meeting.

Ganyu threw the ironwood sword to Guo Song, this ironwood sword weighed thirty catties, he couldn't move, although the strength of the third Gan Lei was enough to use this sword, but the fat man preferred the real guy.

Guo Song knew that this sword was made by the Persians, Gao Xianzhi captured it in the Battle of Talas, and later gave it to his master Mu Zhenren, and there was a line of Persian on the hilt, but everyone couldn't understand it.

In fact, Guo Song didn't like this sword very much, it was too heavy, but the master didn't mean to let Ganyu put down the sword, so he had to take the sword.

"Let's get started!" Mu Zhenren took a few steps back and looked at Guo Song with interest.

Six years ago, he taught Guo Song a trick swordsmanship, Zhong Kui to catch ghosts, and later he taught him eight moves of swordsmanship in a row, and only practiced one move a day to be stationary, but this set of nine swordsmanship in series, it is the sword saint Pei Min painstakingly created nine swordsmanship.

This set of nine sword weapons was taught by the sword saint Pei Min to Aunt Gongsun and Wang Zhonghei, who lived in the palace back then, which is now Mu Zhenren.

These nine swordsmanship is very concise, that is, sealing, piercing, piercing, turning, splitting, twisting, teasing, pressing, wiping, and understanding it thoroughly, the swordsmanship can be ever-changing, and any weapon can be used.

But to truly understand the essence of the Nine Styles of the Sword Weapon, it is not only necessary to go through years of hard training, but more importantly, talent and understanding.

The four apprentices of Mu Zhenren have all learned these nine swordsmanship, but each person's practice method is different, and their talents are different, so their comprehension of it is also different.

Although he practiced one static sword technique every day, once he entered the actual battle, he would immediately forget these nine sword moves. He can make any sword he wants, but each sword has his deep understanding of the nine styles of sword weapons.

"Little junior brother, watch out!"

Ganyu jumped up, jumped to about eight feet in the air, swooped down with a sword, the sword was like lightning, extremely fast, he integrated his light power advantages into the swordsmanship, the body and the sword were one, and the first hand was a sharp sword stab.

Guo Song took a step back unhurriedly, with a twist of his wrist, the ironwood sword drew a circle on the top of his head, the sword intent of this move came from Zhong Kui's ghost hunting, which was the sealing style in the nine styles of the sword, but it was not Zhong Kui's ghost hunting, but the cloud sword in the Taiji sword.

'When! ’

The iron sword stabbed the back of the sword, Gan Yu was just about to turn backwards, only to feel a numb waist, all his strength was lost, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Mu Zhenren shook his head, the third child's swordsmanship is too fancy, this is not in the woods, nor is it a cliff, jumping so high above the sword, many flaws in the body leaked out.

However, Ganyu's sword is very fast, and ordinary opponents may not be able to seize the opportunity, but Mu Zhenren is even more amazed at the speed of Guo Song's body, and he didn't even see it clearly, like a ghost, he moved sideways to four feet away, and broke the door of the fourth child with a light sword.

"You can't win!"

Ganyu was a little annoyed and said angrily: "You kid knows that my weakness is in my waist, but others don't know." ”

"You idiot!"

Mu Zhenren was so angry that he knocked on his head and scolded: "Someone else stabbed your body through with a sword, and I still need to find you to cover the door!" ”

"But...... But it's too embarrassing! ”

Ganyu squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and said with a sad face: "Little junior brother abolished me with one sword, and I have learned the sword for so many years." ”

Guo Song squatted beside him and comforted him by holding Ganyu's shoulder, "Senior brother, your trick is for assassins, it is very suitable for assassination, and it is very practical, but it is not used in the martial arts arena, you have made the occasion wrong." ”

Ganyu's ideal in life is to be the first assassin in the world, and the martial arts he practices are all for assassins.

Guo Song exposed Ganyu's old bottom in one sentence.

Of course, Mu Zhenren understood the thoughts of the four apprentices, and he wanted to be a swordsman, so he pondered for a moment and said, "Fourth, since you want to take the road of stealth, then you don't want to participate in this martial arts meeting." ”

Ganyu nodded silently, stood up and bowed and said, "Obey the order!" ”

"What about you?"

Mu Zhenren turned his eyes and asked Guo Song again, "Do you want to participate in the martial arts meeting?" ”

Guo Song didn't hesitate in his eyes, "Disciple participates!" ”

At this time, Gan Lei suddenly rushed in from the gate and said to Guo Song in a hurry: "Little junior brother, something happened to Han Xiaowu." ”

Guo Song was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What happened to him?" ”

"Come with me!"

Guo Song glanced back at his master, and Mu Zhenren nodded, "Go ahead!" ”

Guo Song hurriedly followed Gan Lei towards the mountain gate, 'Chirp-' The little eagle also rushed to the sky, hovering over Guo Song's head, and followed him closely.

"Senior brother, what happened to Han Xiaowu?" Guo Song asked.

"He seems to have fallen off a cliff while carrying water."

Guo Song suddenly had his liver and gallbladder split, and he ran away without saying a word, and after crossing the waterhole, he saw a group of Taoist priests standing on the Shengxian Bridge in front of him, all of whom were Taoist priests from Jingle Palace, and they were all pointing to what were they talking about?

Shengxian Bridge is a dangerous road about fifty steps long, only five feet wide, with cliffs on both sides, it is very dangerous, you must walk step by step, it looks like a long bridge in the sky, so it is called Shengxian Bridge.

"You're Senior Brother Guo Song, right?" A young Taoist priest asked.

"I am, Han Xiaowu...... He? ”

The young Taoist priest was gloomy, and pointed downward, "He didn't return with water, we came out to look for him, and found a bucket here, he probably fell off a cliff here." ”

Guo Song looked at the situation below, and he suddenly jumped down, and the surrounding Taoist priests exclaimed.
