Chapter 8: The Temple of the Dragon King
After the three of them were full of wine and food, the scholar said: "The Qi family is so big, if you want to hide something, it will definitely be difficult to find." ”
Ding Qiliang asked, "Then do you have any way?" ”
The scholar said: "The Qi family can become a first-class force because of the second leader Qi Tianhe. Qi Tianhe is the crane king of the seven beast kings, and its strength is comparable to the dragon king, the lion king, the scorpion king, the elephant king, the ape king, the bat king, etc. He is a leader in the second-rate forces. The reason why the people of Qinzhou City are so jealous of the Dragon King is because the Dragon King is friendly with the Crane King, and the Dragon King and the Crane King are also attached to the Qi family. The three forces are one force, so you should also understand that they are in this place, they are the emperor, and you can also understand why even one of the strongest in the martial arts, the Sword Sect, will throw an olive branch to the Qi family. ”
Ding Qiliang hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter who he allies with, you can tell me how to get back my knife and knife spectrum." ”
The scholar didn't seem to hear it, and continued to say to himself: "The Crane King is cautious and timid, but the head of the family, Qi Linya, is extremely crazy, of course, he does have this capital, Qi Tianhe is his brother, he is okay, but for the Dragon King, Qi Linya has always looked down on such an existence." The Dragon King is an existence that most people in the martial arts never want to provoke, but Qi Linya looks down on the Seven Kings for a long time. If you can take advantage of this relationship, as well as Qi Linya's arrogance and arrogance, you may be able to do what you want to do. ”
Before Ding Qiliang understood, Chen Hui said, "So, we want to defeat the Dragon King?" ”
The scholar shook his head and said: "Yes and no, the Dragon King is powerful, although there are not many real masters underneath, but it is definitely not the two of them who can be defeated, otherwise the Seven Kings would have been subdued by the big family or sect forces a long time ago." I want you to defeat the Dragon King and challenge him openly! Then, by defeating the fame of the Dragon King, he challenged Qi Linya. Don't worry that Qi Linya won't fight, I've already arranged the arrangement. ”
Chen Hui was curious: "Will the Dragon King accept the challenge?" ”
The scholar said: "If you show enough deterrence to the Dragon King, the Dragon King will not despise you, and the Dragon King is the most powerful among the Seven Kings because the Dragon King is the most absorbed. So, you need to create a little bit of a storm first. ”
Ding Qiliang's original intention was to challenge the Qi family head-on, but he was always worried about whether the Qi family would fight. The scholar now gives Ding Qiliang hope.
Ding Qi's eyes lit up: "Okay!" That's it, shopkeeper, I think the scholar is right. ”
Chen sighed back: "You seem to have calculated everything? ”
"It's not complicated." The scholar looked away, and many days before he had begun to calculate. Make sure that Qi Linya, who has been in retreat for a long time, will receive a secret message.
……
In the west of Qinzhou City, the largest temple in the west of the city was called Jingguan Temple, but now no one has ever put incense on the Buddha here. Even the words on the plaque in front of the gate have been changed. This place is now called the Dragon King Temple, which is a common name.
The scholar commented that the general trend of the world is just a short word. In fact, the influence of the Seven Beast Kings in the rivers and lakes is extremely great, and even the most powerful Nine Great Sects are unwilling to clash with these seven forces.
Especially in Qinzhou City, none of the nine major sects has a power in Qinzhou City, but on the contrary, the Qi family, the Dragon King, and the Crane King are located in Qinzhou City, and the three families happen to be friends, and the dragon and crane are attached to the Qi family. The three major forces of the Trinity make the rivers and lakes of Qinzhou City completely under their control.
There are 24 streets, 104 restaurants, and 231 cloth shops in Qinzhou, and none of them do not pay black taxes.
Of course, there will still be people to provoke every day, and there is never a shortage of disputes and challenges in the rivers and lakes.
The front yard of the Dragon King Temple is very lively at the moment. Qingqiu, a swordsman who turned over the rain, is a good sword player who has become famous in the past two years. The one-handed rain turning sword technique defeated some martial arts celebrities in many battles with less control and more with fast and slow, and gradually attracted the attention of the nine major factions, and the Bajian Sect and the Xuanji Sword Sect were recruited. But Qingqiu's young and frivolous refusal.
Hearing that many people came to challenge the Dragon King but failed, he naturally regarded the Dragon King as his next goal.
Originally, a powerful offspring like Qingqiu, the Dragon King would meet for a while. However, the dragon king did not bother with it today.
Qingqiu's rain turning sword technique defeated dozens of the Dragon King's men like a storm, and at this moment he was sitting lazily in the front yard, waiting for the Dragon King to come.
The person who came was not the dragon king, this person was wearing a robe, wearing a hat, the dragon king was the dragon head of the water forces in the rivers and lakes, and many of the core people under him were dressed like this.
Qingqiu knew that this person was not the Dragon King, so he never looked at it again.
The man in the cloak was also very polite, and said: "The Turning Rain Sword really deserves its reputation, and the brothers in my courtyard are really not enough for the pastime of young heroes."
Qingqiu snorted coldly: "Don't you dare to come out of the Dragon King?" ”
The man in the cloth said: "The master is meeting guests, and he was originally in the name of turning the rain sword, but he can also see my master." But it's unfortunate that you're here, young man. At the moment, the owner is talking to a friend. If you are a young man, you are just looking for a defeat. It's the same when the Sprinkle family fights for my master. ”
Qingqiu raised his eyebrows, and the anger in his eyes was undisguised.
"You're crazy."
The man in the cloth arched his hand: "The name of the Sprinkle family is Long Liu, if the young man is injured by the Sprinkle family, he will take revenge in the future, and it is more convenient to know the name of the Sprinkle family." ”
Long Liu's speech and demeanor were extremely polite, but the content of his words was extremely confident. This made Qingqiu very dissatisfied. The reputation of the Turning Rain Sword is also well-deserved, but this Long Liu doesn't pay attention to it at all.
"I don't care what your name is, just let the Dragon King remember my name, and it will be easier for him to take revenge in the future." After saying that, Qingqiu's sword was already unsheathed!
The name of the rain sword is indeed very big, the reason why this sword technique is called the rain sword, is because the sword move is extremely fast, the sword move area, not a drop of water leaks, it is said that Qingqiu once encountered a heavy rain when fighting with people, the rain is very urgent, it comes and goes quickly, just like that competition, coincidence, when the rain stops, Qingqiu collects the sword and defeats the enemy, after the war, the onlookers are shocked to find that the land at the foot of Qingqiu does not even have a trace of water, and the name of the rain sword comes from this.
Qingqiu's sword was not a thorn, it cut horizontally like a knife, and the sword qi cut towards Long Liu's neck, and the speed was extremely fast. Long Liu's expression remained unchanged, and he also pulled out the knife on his waist and cut it horizontally.
This knife is not fast, but it is powerful. The swords collided for only a moment, and Qingqiu felt the tiger's mouth tingle slightly. But then he changed hands extremely quickly, and another sword slashed diagonally, and the speed was even faster. The dragon's six knives are horizontal, although they are not as fast as Qingqiu's movements, but they are extremely streamlined. The swords collided again, and the two of them only made two moves to attack and defend, but Qingqiu found that Long Liu didn't even move a step, frowned, and shouted: "Take my sword!" ”
Long Liu's expression froze, the rain sword was faster and faster every time, Qingqiu's sword was fast and gave birth to an afterimage, after all, he still had to take two steps back to use the sword technique to block. What followed was Qingqiu's disdainful laughter. Before the laughter was over, there was an endless sound of weapons colliding, and Long Liu's non-stop parrying, although he was a little embarrassed, he did not fall behind.
In a matter of moments, the two exchanged more than a dozen rounds.
Qingqiu's slashing from all angles was blocked by Long Liu's extremely simple horizontal knife back knife, Long Liu has been guarding, no matter how fast and fierce Qingqiu's moves are, he has always blocked Qingqiu's way of only three moves, back knife, horizontal knife, vertical knife. But Qingqiu didn't care, his figure sometimes appeared in front of Long Liu, and sometimes behind Long Liu, and the people with fast body were dazzled.
Long Liu was always able to prevent it, although it seemed that Qingqiu had the upper hand. Qingqiu frowned, and shouted angrily: "This sword wants your life!" ”
Another oblique cut, like drawing an arc, the sword qi swayed out, like a crescent moon, slashing towards Long Liu. There was a hint of praise in Long Liu's eyes, this Qingqiu was young, and he actually had such internal cultivation, this sword, without the fire of the three-leaf realm, could not be used at all.
Long Liu's knife no longer closed in front of him, but slashed towards Qingqiu with extreme force. Among the younger generation, there are not many people who can have the strength of the three leaves, and Qingqiu is full of confidence in his sword!
But Long Liu, who had been on the defensive, did not defend in the face of the strongest offensive, but took a step forward, with a heavy swing of his sword, and the wild sword intent collided with the sword qi.
Qingqiu took a few steps back, and Ryuroku returned to the position where the two had been talking before.
Qingqiu was furious, this clothed guest was obviously just a subordinate of the Dragon King, but why was he so powerful, he was not convinced, Long Liu had already shown his internal strength cultivation stronger than his three-leaf realm, but Qingqiu ignored these at the moment, jumped into the air, and slashed with a sword in the air, and the sword qi fell down like a boulder.
Long Liu raised his head suddenly, did not take a step back, and also leaped forward, raising his sword in the air to meet it. The momentum of this knife was amazing, Qingqiu was originally attacking, but at this moment, it seemed to be the defending side.
Suddenly switching offense and defense, Qingqiu still had the advantage. But Qingqiu suddenly saw Long Liu's hideous expression, the other party was abandoning the defense of his life, and he was suddenly afraid in his heart, and his momentum retreated by three points, and the sword that was originally faster than Long Liu also paused for half a minute.
The sound of a knife cutting through flesh was heard.
Qingqiu's body was knocked higher and then fell to the ground in a dull manner.
"Shaoxia's swordsmanship is good, but it's a pity that the sword is not a knife, you pay too much attention to the form of your rain sword dripping, pay attention to the range of attack, but ignore that the key to using a sword is not to chop and chop, but to stab. It's too early for you to challenge my master. ”
After saying that, Long Liu left and walked towards the middle courtyard, ignoring Qingqiu, who had lost blood to the point of being unconscious.
……
The backyard of the Dragon King Temple.
Long Liu's expression was very respectful, completely different from when he had just fought against Qingqiu. It's just because the person in front of him is far above him in terms of status, power, and strength.
This person looked to be in his fifties, bald and one-eyed, dressed in a gray robe, and a cyan dragon pattern was faintly visible on his neck. At his waist was a jet-black knife with no scabbard.
There are even more people who died under this knife than under the hands of Qi Linya, the first sword in the world today.
He is the Dragon King. Unlike the Qi family, which has a lot of white path business, the Dragon King's forces are almost all underworld forces. He is also the real leader of the underground forces in Qinzhou City.
"Turning over the rain sword, it can be regarded as a talent, but his moves are too focused on face kung fu, this kind of lone ranger, no one will take care of him, Xiaoliu, cure him, and he will be handed over to you."
Long Liu replied: "Yes." ”
"In addition, let the brothers cheer up recently, this Qinzhou City will not be peaceful in the near future."
Long Liu nodded and stepped back.
The dragon king smiled inexplicably. Thinking of what Qi Tianhe said to him just now, the worry in his words made him a little happy.
"It's interesting that the Qi family is so afraid of the Ding family."
……
The scholar, the cook and Chen Hui watched for a long time in the restaurant not far from the Dragon King Temple. There were all the forces of the Dragon King around, and according to what the scholar said, they did not hide it at all, and looked at what happened in the front yard of the Dragon King Temple openly, on the contrary, no one felt strange.
The scholar whispered, "Ding Qiliang, do you think you can beat that swordsman?" ”
Ding Qiliang said proudly: "That's natural! This swordsman doesn't know the difference between swords, and he has a smart body and the internal force of the three-leaf fire marquis. I'm different, my Ding family's knife tricks are exquisite, how could I make such a mistake. ”
The scholar said disdainfully: "Your Ding family's knife is powerful, but you are not powerful." You are not as good as the swordsman in terms of internal strength, and you are not as good as the swordsman in terms of body style, so you may not have a forty percent chance of winning in the face of the clothed man. ”
Ding Qiliang stopped talking, but Chen Hui said: "If Mr. is worried that our strength is too weak to carry out the plan smoothly, it is purely a matter of worry. ”
The scholar really can't see through Chenhui. Chen Hui is a person with a high level of internal cultivation, this is the only thing he knows, but he doesn't know how strong Chen Hui is.
"You seem to have a lot of confidence in yourself."
Chen Hui shook his head and said: "I don't have confidence in myself, I have confidence in the chef, if the chef's opponent is the first knife in the world, then he will not be defeated here." ”
Ding Qiliang raised his head, with a trace of gratitude in his eyes, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely see Qi Linya, and then take back my things!" ”
