Chapter III

(Really, why did you wake up at such a critical time...) )

Sitting indignantly, even though it was indeed dawn, Yun Chongbo was still annoyed, wishing that he could fall asleep again.

(At the very least, it should make me dream about how to break through to the ninth level of power...) )

The barrier between the powers, if not the biggest secret in the world, is at least one of the biggest secrets, even those who have gone to the front, those who are as strong as the eighth level of heaven and earth, do not know more about this problem than the pursuers behind them.

From this point of view, Hun Tian's declaration is really amazing...... And when he thought about it like this, Yun Chongbo was even more annoyed.

(It's a pity, it's a pity...) Even if you can dream of a little detail... In that case, I might too... )

No matter how hard he tries, if he can't sleep, he can't sleep, so he got up stupidly, and Yun Chongbo decided that he must go to bed early tonight.

(I don't know, if you leave Jinguan, will this dream go on again?) )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Little Brother Flower... You look like you're going to get some punches too..."

Standing on the slope facing the wind, Xun Huan moved his arms and said something that surprised Yun Chongbo with a very leisurely attitude.

"It's still early, how about we do something?"

"Huh?"

Looking at Xun Huan very vigilantly, after hesitating for a long time, Yun Chongbo reminded the other party that he... It may still be very powerful, but if you are not careful, you may be able to hurt someone.

"Oh, really?"

Dumbfounded, Xun Huan said that he never felt that he was a master, but he just liked to move his body, because he could be sick and fitness.

"If you want to compete for strength, of course I can't do it, so if we don't use our strength, how about just a few fists and kicks?"

Promised, Yun Chongbo had already made up his mind, the Dragon Fist was not only powerful, but it was even more troublesome when it was recognized, although the set of disciple rules taught by Yan Hui was easy to use... However, it seems that it is also easy to recognize the calendar, and cause trouble, at least, when he thinks of the violent reaction like the previous Nine Days, Yun Chongbo has a headache.

(Really, you can't use it with good martial arts, why...) )

In the end, Yun Chongbo still decided to use another set of boxing techniques passed down by Yan Hui and Xun Huan, from the calligraphy that is said to be "very precious", the boxing intent borrowed from it, although it is incomplete, and there is no subtle power in use, but at least it is complete, and, most importantly... I don't think I'm going to get into any trouble.

Xun Huan's boxing technique, called himself "Five Fowl Play", is extremely simple, there are only a few moves to come and go, and the changes are very crude, but he is extremely proficient, it is really like flowing water, plus Yun Chongbo's fist and foot kung fu is mediocre, and that set of boxing techniques has never been used against the enemy.

Although he was deceived when he debuted, his strength has gradually increased in the past year, and his record is also quite impressive, and he has a lot of confidence in "I am a master".

(Hmph, it's not like you said in advance that you don't need to use power, otherwise...) )

The opponent's technique is indeed very fast, but the steps are frivolous, and when the palms collide, Yun Chongbo can feel that the opponent's strength is indeed very low, if he carries his eighth-level midstream power, I believe that one move can make him fly far away.

(But...) Then again... If I think so, am I just relying on strength? )

Suddenly, Yun Chong suddenly found that such a self seemed to be in danger without knowing it.

(Pure boxing competition, am I such a bad person?) In that case, if someone else's strength is about the same as mine... )

If you think about it carefully, you can't completely say that, the strength of the Dragon Fist, the delicacy of the disciple rules, and Yun Chongbo have all mastered it, and they are not bad, and they can be integrated and adapted with other known martial arts, which is very effective.

(But then again, if those two sets of boxing techniques are recognized, the consequences will be very serious...) )

Whether it is Dragon Fist or Disciple Rules, in the eyes of the scholars, it is no different from a famous thorn, and in order to prove that he is qualified to bring this famous thorn, it may cause more trouble, especially when he thinks of Jiutian, Yun Chongbo feels that in order to stay well in Taiping Dao in the future, it is best not to meet people casually with these two sets of martial arts.

(Yes, I do need to practice a basic set of kung fu, some "see people" kung fu...) Well, however, this set of boxing techniques is also taught by Xiucai, don't go to the end, and become a person who has become Taiping Dao and gets angry when he sees me, right? Nine days or something like that, in case you smell frost... )

As soon as he had a point, Yun Chongbo's subordinates moved a little slower unconsciously, Xun Huan's eyes were really poisonous, he seized the opportunity to bully him early, a wrong step, don't stop Yun Chongbo from the plate, slapped his right palm on his back, and said with a smile: "You still don't fall... Hey? ”

Distraction did make Yun Chongbo's movements reveal flaws, but at the same time, this also made his self-control that had been crumbling very tight relaxed, almost feeling that he was "in danger" At the same time, he suddenly leaned forward, seemingly pushed by Xun Huan, but in fact, he turned his palm away on his own, and at the same time he threw himself to the ground, his hands were supported, his body was tense and loosened, and he bounced up suddenly like a strong bow, and he was able to exert force with a strange posture under his head and feet, and the touch of the foot was sweeping on Xun Huan's shoulder--that was still fast for him, Otherwise, he will definitely kick him to the right cheek--, and immediately kick him away a few steps and make a rolling gourd.

(Huh, this is?!) )

In a flash, I realized that I had inadvertently used the disciple rules, and with the kind of instinctive natural reaction to almost every action, such an evasive counterattack was indeed nothing.

"Hey, Uncle Xun, are you okay?"

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Covering his shoulders, Xun Huan shook his head to signal that Yun Chongbo didn't have to be nervous, but at the same time, he also looked at Yun Chongbo with a very strange gaze, which made him feel a little hairy in his heart.

"You... Are you really not hurt? ”

"It doesn't matter, let's eat."

------------------------------------------------------------------

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon, sitting in the courtyard, Yun Chongbo was sorting out the records of the past few days.

Xun Huanjie's residence, near the left of the three rivers, made by the mountain, just a few ordinary thatched houses, but the surrounding flowers and plants are widely planted, and the view is excellent, at a glance, the three rivers return to the stream, take in the bottom of the eye, Yun Chongbo looked at the legend in his hand, and looked at the real scene in the distance, his heart was very happy, he suddenly heard a few bird hisses, so not sad, when he looked up, he saw two evil birds who did not know what to call, and they were flying around a bird's nest, and the mother bird on the nest was supported by two wings, so he was not embarrassed, but he refused to leave.

I don't have much confidence in the secret weapon technique, but the strength is already very strong, and I ran to the tree to look closely, Yun Chongbo grabbed a piece of bark and cracked it, threw it upward, snapped, and only heard the two evil birds scream in unison, spread their wings and fly away.

"Bullying... Let me see, count you out of luck. ”

returned to the table and continued to study the legend, but heard footsteps, Xun Huan had come out of the house, frowned and looked at it for a while, and said, "Little Brother Hua, did you kill the two birds just now?" Seeing Yun Chongbo nodded stunned, smiled bitterly, turned around to go back, walked two steps, stood up again, came back and sat down at the table, and said, "Why are you beating them away... Tell me about it, okay? ”

"Well, what's the reason for that?"

In Yun Chongbo's heart, the road is uneven, the shovel is strong and the hoe is weak, that is a natural thing, how can you talk about why you are on it? But listening to this, Xun Huan just smiled bitterly.

"Can't you see others relying on the strong to bully the weak, yes, the bird bullying the crow, of course, is bullying the weak... But Brother Hua, have you thought about it again? If you do this, are you bullying the birds? ”

"Huh?"

felt unconvinced, but also felt that Xun Huan's words were very reasonable, Yun Chongbo expressed his opinions according to his own ideas, but he couldn't say that he couldn't win him, and in the end, Xun Huan pulled his brain into a nest of porridge.

"Anyway... All things are born with their own laws, the bird is carnivorous, you don't let it eat the bird, do you teach it to eat you? Or is it that crows can be born, but birds cannot be born? But you and I are both ordinary people, how can we be qualified to judge who should be born and deserve to die? ”

"I, I don't know!"

Shaking his head in annoyance, Yun Chongbo really couldn't imagine that he would hit a carnivorous bird in exchange for such a big push, making himself dizzy, and it was even more tiring than fighting with people.

It seems that because of this interference, when Xun Huan proposed "activity" again in the afternoon, Yun Chongbo was overwhelmingly defeated, Rao is he had used the disciple rules, but it seemed to be completely out of order, and he no longer had the sharpness of the past, and in the end, he took his head half fainted and half knocked unconscious, and said goodbye stupidly.

"Anyway, I don't think you're right... I'll go back in the evening and think about it, and I'll make it clear tomorrow. ”

Smiling and waving goodbye, Yun Chongbo didn't know that Xun Huan behind him didn't have any smile, his eyes were solemn and deep, and he didn't know that the two birds that had just been beaten away by himself had reappeared and stopped on Jieyou's shoulder, so docile.

"Between talking and laughing, he abolished his already small discourse... Xun Huan, is it necessary? ”

"First of all... That's not the Analects. ”

Frowning, Xun Huan thought that what Yun Chongbo had learned should only be a disciple's rule.

"It did startle me in the morning, but after the temptation in the afternoon, I can conclude that he has absolutely not practiced the Analects, and his current strength is derived from the disciple's rules."

"What?"

Slightly moved, Jie You believes that the disciple rules are indeed from the Analects, but they have been greatly simplified, and although it is not impossible to trace the true meaning of the Analects from the disciple rules, it is really difficult to ascend to the sky.

"The last person to do it was Yan Hui, but, that kind of talent... I didn't see it in this kid. ”

"He probably didn't... But maybe it's just that we can't see it, and he does have the simplicity and sincerity worthy of the Analects. ”

After pondering for a while, Jie You asked Xun Huan, then, what does he think?

"This kid, could he be sent out by the 'family'? Or is it someone 'over there'? ”

"I don't think so, of course, it's possible."

Shaking his head slowly, Xun Huan said that no matter what, he had temporarily abolished his Analects.

"To seek the Tao from the disciple's rules, one must have the sincerity of a child, an absolute adherence to one's own beliefs, and when I have shaken his mind with sophistry, when he begins to waver in his own view of good and evil, the weakness of this path to enlightenment is exposed, and in any case, until he finds his persistence again, he will no longer be able to use the Analects, and if there is anyone behind him... I believe that this answer should also be understood, right? ”

Saying such ruthless words, Xun Huan's eyes had a stunned look, which was too complex to decipher loneliness and longing, and it was also a post-injury wisdom that was cautious enough to be careful to avoid any unknown.

(Anyway...) If he really doesn't know anything, then maybe he will come back tomorrow, right? )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the way, he only felt a headache and nausea, like a hangover from too much alcohol, and Yun Chongbo didn't feel better until he returned to the inn.

"Hey, nephew, are you back so early today?"

According to the time, Hua Shengrong should still be drooling in the Luohan Temple at this time, so when he saw him, Yun Chongbo was also very surprised.

"Oh, don't you know such exciting news?"

Pointing fingers, Hua Shengrong told Yun Chongbo that at noon today, when Hua Shengrong was looking around the jade with countless itchy peers, a female thief in a night suit suddenly appeared, and in full view of everyone, kicked Fei Xinghan and snatched the gem that had already become the target of everyone.

"Wouldn't it? Who is so bold? ”

was taken aback by this news, because after listening to Hua Shengrong's analysis many times, Yun Chongbo knew that the protection measures of this jadeite were indeed very bad, but because he had already declared that it was dedicated to the Su family, no one dared to move, and now there are people who want to pick up tiger ears in the next life, so it really takes a lot of courage to do it.

At that time, some people were frightened and white, desperately shouting for her to leave her name, not to bother her friends on the road, and speaking of which, it was really a master of art who was bold, and the woman was happy to leave her name... And guess what? ”

slapped heavily on Yun Chongbo's back, Hua Shengrong exclaimed: "It turned out to be a legendary figure in the snitch line, Ji Sanniang is back in the rivers and lakes!" ”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was easy to get rid of Hua Shengrong, Yun Chongbo bowed his head and went back to the house, but he was very curious in his stomach, what Gai Yin Hua Shengrong said was too unconventional.

The robber snatched the treasure, of course, but after Ji Sanniang grabbed the jade, she looked for Xinghan who had just been kicked unconscious by herself, and then kicked him awake with a heavier kick, and then told the other party to prepare a clean upper room, and then... She actually moved in.

"Old... I want to live for three days, and within three days, those who have the ability will come and snatch this stone, and when the three days come, this girl will not accompany her! ”

(W-what kind of robber is this?) )

As soon as he entered the house, Yun Chongbo found that someone was already there, and Liu Jinyuan, who had a sad face, seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.

"Hey, Brother Liu, are you saying that the family affair you promised, the woman recently wanted to repent of her marriage?"

"No, no, no."

Waving his hand again and again, Liu Jinyuan said: "There is absolutely no such meaning...", but sighed again: "It's just that the foolish brother would rather she just want to regret the marriage." ”

According to Liu Jinyuan's account, he and the woman are married to the belly, and they have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, only when they got older, they avoided suspicion, and then they went out to study, and they didn't see each other for many years, although they knew that the other party was not good at red makeup and good arms, but they didn't take it to heart, and it was a martial arts family over there, and it was no big deal.

"However, she probably wants to walk the rivers and lakes and wants to become addicted... I didn't have a chance to catch a robber, so I played as a robber myself..."

told Yun Chongbo that his family had recently got a baby, and the elders in the family were very happy, but he didn't expect the woman to run away with her face covered, snatch the baby in her hand, and then release the words to her side that if you want to get married, you can snatch the things back in three days.

"Wait, wait, why do I think this story sounds so familiar?!"

"Hmm, is this..."

With a wry smile, Liu Jinyuan stood up, bowed deeply to Yun Chongbo, and said: "Anonymous mistake, please forgive me, foolish brother Su Jinyuan, be polite." ”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"However, this matter is very suspicious..."

Sitting very seriously, Hua Shengrong pinched his chin and spoke slowly, Su Jinyuan looked at him, his expression was quite trusting, but in Yun Chongbo's belly, he was very worried.

(Uncle is really asking for money...) In case of offending the Su family, we may not be able to run away even overnight! )

Just now, Liu Jinyuan had just revealed his identity, and Hua Shengrong suddenly bumped in from the outside, holding his hand, "Brother Shi" was long, "Brother Shi" was short, and he was so affectionate. In the blink of an eye, the other party was frightened, Yun Chongbo watched blankly from the side, and it took a long time before he had the opportunity to pull Hua Shengrong aside and question.

"What are you climbing... People are big families with heads and faces, don't climb to the goofs, I'll see how you end. ”

"Hmm, nonsense, how can the uncle climb around, seriously calculate, our Hua family's flower ancestor is one of the veins of their Su family, I call him a brother, and he is all promoted."

"Flower set? Is that also the ancestor of your Hua family? ”

"Young people don't study, don't talk to you more, go aside, don't get in the way of people's money!"

Regardless of how contemptuous Yun Chongbo was in his stomach, at least Hua Shengrong had indeed coaxed Su Jinyuan to the point of confusion now, and poured out his bitterness to him with admiration there.

"Anyway, I think the role of our family in this matter is very suspicious!"

…… Not to mention Su Jinyuan, Lian Yun Chongbo also thinks so.

As one of the largest local families in Qingzhou, although the Su family is mainly outstanding in writing, but the influence is absolutely great, it can be said that the master who can be on the stage, in a word, can also find ten or eight, not to mention, if this kind of thing comes out, it will only make the Ma family ugly, and no matter how much the Ma family spoils this "second miss", it seems that it should not be ignored.

"It is said that the woman's excuse is that our two families have also been married in history, and at that time, an aunt and grandmother on our side got married, but she relied on her own talent, and blocked her uncle outside at night in the cave room, and made three questions in a row, and she had to make them overnight before she was allowed to get married, and now there is only one question in the three questions, and one night has been changed to three days... Speaking of which, it's still very face-saving. However, is this simply nonsense! ”

"In the end, it became like I was the only one, and then my father even said, give me three days, if I can solve this matter by myself, let me be a businessman as I like, if not, I have to come back and obediently study and take the exam, you say, isn't this taking advantage of the danger of others?!"

"Yes, yes!"

Slamming the table angrily, Hua Shengrong looked even more indignant than Su Jinyuan, and at the same time, he asked the other party some questions more naturally, when he knew that the head of the Su family promised to let him allocate as much money as he wanted in order to let Su Jinyuan prove the power of the "businessman", his eyes were even brighter than the sun that had not yet set outside.

"In short, Brother Su Shi, in my opinion, most of this matter is that your cousin is young and fun-loving, and is used by others, and most of the real operators are noble parents, who actually want to use this opportunity to force you to come back to study!"

Making a judgment, Hua Shengrong thinks that according to the current situation, the Su family must have some arrangements, and the Ma family will not let the naughtiness of the children ruin the family life, then on the last day, the masters of the two families will definitely make a move, so the most important thing now is to get the jade before the deadline comes.

"Speaking of which, when I'm older, I can't do anything about flying on the wall, but I know a few friends... But your cousin seems to be very tough, and if you want them to take risks, you have to break the bank... Oh, that's okay, isn't it? Well, brother, you just have to rest assured! ”

Seeing Hua Shengrong happily go out, Yun Chongbo was a little unbearable for a while, and he didn't know if he should remind Su Jinyuan.

(However, Uncle has the most ghost ideas, maybe he can really have some tricks...) Hey, but when you think about it, how much is a woman's interest? If it really doesn't work, I'll go and help Brother Su snatch the jade back! )

Once the idea was made, Yun Chongbo's heart was very calm, but seeing that Su Jinyuan was still restless, he comforted a few words, saying that Hua Shengrong has a very good way to do things, just rest assured Yunyun, sure enough, Su Jinyuan was much more stable, but Yun Chongbo himself was worried.

(In short... Anyway, in the end, there is still me, can it be said that if I meet a woman casually, will I be so powerful?! )

While cheering himself up, he was calculating in his stomach, but the more he calculated, the more weak his heart became, and he counted since he left Danshan, from the sand like snow and Xiao Wenshuang, and then to Sun Yugong Qiong Feihua for nine days... Along the way, plus the big knife girl on the road who didn't even know her name, the woman she met seemed to... Sure enough, they are all "not easy to provoke", thinking about it, it seems that there is only one small voice, and he has a 10% chance of winning "can afford to provoke".

(Well, that little girl, I don't know what is going on now, but Brother Zhao is very powerful and careful, follow him, it must be no problem... )

Thinking of Zhao Feiya, he unexpectedly thought of that strange dream, as well as some memories in Yihe City at that time, Yun Chongbo was in a bad mood for a while, and coupled with the events in the morning, he felt even more headaches, so when Su Jinyuan suggested asking for some wine to "pour one or two", he did not refuse.

Drinking and talking, and gradually entering the port, Hua Shengrong, who was full of red light, finally appeared.

"Nephew Su Xian, you just have to rest assured, Uncle will definitely settle things for you this time!"

Following Hua Shengrong, three more people came in, one was tall and thin, one was short and fat, and the other was of medium stature, with messy hair, greasy, but his eyes were fierce.

"It's also your good luck, nephew, these three are all top players on the road, and they are all friends of the uncle, it is really your luck to meet this time!"

"Oh... Master? ”

didn't care that he had changed from a "world brother" to a "virtuous nephew", but looking at these three people, Su Jinyuan was really hard to rest assured, and Yun Chongbo on the side also felt the same way, covering these three people with black circles and frivolous steps, some people believed that they were night owls who stayed up late for many years, but they said that they were masters who came and went... It's hard to agree with.

"Don't look down on people!"

Pulling the thin man, Hua Shengrong said solemnly: "This is the famous snitch in the East China Sea, 'your master and I steal the box', listen, what a mighty and domineering nickname?" As long as he likes it, there is nothing that he can't steal! ”

looked at each other seriously, but Yun Chongbo really couldn't see where the other party's domineering was located, he could only see that the other party's face was pale, as if he had just been knifed and let go.

"As for this one... Ahem, don't you want to clean up your body?! ”

stretched out his hand and pulled the fat man, and immediately a burst of dust and mist appeared: a thick layer of soil fell on the fat man's body, and when he touched it, the dust was huge, but fortunately, Su Jinyuan didn't see the sneering smile he showed when he was scolded by Hua Shengrong.

(Seeing people laugh with them first, there is a limit to the work in hand...) I'm afraid there is a problem with this)

It is introduced that this is the master of the "ghost in the ground" in the Central Plains, known as the "full-time gravedigger", digging the soil empty-handed, and can attack seven or eight zhang in one night, and there is also the technique of "shrinking bones", which is very powerful.

"'Full-time', think about it, tell you, back then, he fought with the thief saint, and he didn't know whether he won or lost!"

"Thief?"

Looking at the fat man in amazement, Yun Chongbo saw that he was still sneering and nodded, and said again and again: "Low-key, low-key." ”

"As for this little brother, he is a rookie in the short track world in recent years..."

Hua Shengrong pulled the third person, and Yun Chongbo Fang saw that this seemed to be the youngest of the three, but he was only about twenty.

"Speaking of background, but there is a head and a face, it is Shao Ling who talks...", but he was glared at viciously by the man, and said in a dumb voice: "Talking about business, waiting to make money, what are you doing with those useless things." ”

"Uh-uh."

The introduction said that this person's real name has long been hidden, because he is fierce by nature, and he wants money and does not want to die, so he sent a nickname on the road, called "love money", in short, where Jinbao is, there is nothing he dare not do.

"I'll repeat, we're here to make money, you pull all this useless, tell me where the stone is, Lao Tzu go in and 'bang' a hammer, take it and leave, then there is so much nonsense about you!"

In the chaos, Yun Chongbo peeked at Su Jinyuan, and saw that he didn't seem to have seen much of this kind of Jianghu ronin, so he seemed to be very interested, and he had to complain in his heart.

(Well, with a few guys like this...) Can the stones of the Luohan Temple really be stolen? )

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bloody corpses!

The terrain is not very complicated, just an ordinary mountain road, which is still wide, and there is a dense jungle in the middle, and now, here... It's all corpses.

Some were killed by random arrows, some were burned alive, some were directly smashed into pulp by boulders, and some were more fortunate or unlucky, only breaking their legs, and then, in despair, waiting for death.

The remnant flag fluttered, laboriously covering this bloody battlefield, the wind blew, and there was the whistling of hunting.

Standing on a high place, looking down here, Yun Chongbo was trying to adapt to this tragic scene, and at the same time, he was also trying to feel his "own" mood.

Of course, there is anger, pain, and sadness, which are all reasonable things, especially when Yun Chongbo has already remembered: These people in front of him are one of the Taiping Five Route Army, the troops led by Nanwang Fengyue.

(Isn't the North King dealing with another team now, though...) Why did you come here? Moreover, his emotions are really strange, isn't it? )

After careful discernment, Yun Chongbo can find that in the chest of "himself", there are even more tumbling emotions, which are as difficult to calm as the waves of the angry sea, and some of them are "regret", and some are "self-blame".

(He...) What does he have to blame himself? )

Holding the unsheathed Wandering Sea in his right hand, he obviously came prepared for battle, but when he saw the tragic situation of this Shura prison, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't do anything at all.

(But...) No, he actually had to kill someone
