Zhao Zheng nodded gloomily and replied, "Yes." ”

"A good man has ambitions in all directions, you should leave here, even if I am a little reluctant, I will not stop you." Shen Luoxia said softly.

"Sister, actually, we can leave here together."

"This inn has taken on a special meaning to me, and I don't want to leave it yet. If you want to go out and see the world, go yourself. A manly man, it's not a way to be around his sister all day long. ”

"Since my sister doesn't want to leave, then I have to go on the road alone." Zhao Zheng was slightly disappointed, in fact, he had mentioned this proposal many times, but Shen Luoxia never agreed.

Shen Luoxia raised her hand again, pressed it on Zhao Zheng's head, and advised: "Be careful everywhere when you go out, there are treacherous waves on the rivers and lakes, and there are all kinds of people." People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, don't believe the words of others, and weigh everything in your heart a few more times. ”

"Well, my sister's lesson, I will keep it in my heart."

"Also, especially if you are careful of beautiful women, just because you look good doesn't mean you're good in your heart."

Zhao Zheng's mind flashed Nie Rong's appearance, he was almost killed by this beautiful woman, he couldn't help but agree with his sister's words, nodded and said, "I won't be swayed by beauty in the future." ”

"It's for the best." Shen Luoxia smiled, the beauty of her smile seemed to dispel the feeling of depression in winter, she rubbed Zhao Zheng's head, withdrew the soft hair, and then asked, "What are your plans after you leave here?" Where do you want to go? ”

"I already have a plan, I want to go to 'Changchun Mansion', where there are outstanding people. There are many major sects and martial arts masters. In addition, the scenery and climate are also very good. I've been longing for a long time. Zhao replied truthfully. This is what he has planned in the early days, and only by going there can he get the fastest growth rate and reap all kinds of benefits.

"You're going that far? It's already out of the 'Northern Province'. Shen Luoxia was slightly surprised.

The Great Yan Kingdom is divided into four provinces, namely Dongsheng Province, Xiniu Province, Nangan Province, and Beiju Province, each of which occupies east, west, north and south, and the area of each province is very large.

Qibao County is a small county town in the north, located in the province of Beiqi. Changchun Province is in the south of the province of Nangan, the two places are thousands of miles apart, it takes two months just to travel, and you have to ride fast horses, if you walk, it takes even more time.

The mother of the child is worried, the eldest sister Shen Luoxia is the mother, and Zhao Zheng has gone so far at once, and it is inevitable that there is some concern in his heart.

"Although there are many places in Beiqi Province that I haven't been to, I still want to go to Changchun Mansion." Zhao Zhengdao.

"Why do you have to go there?" Shen Luoxia was puzzled. "If you're looking for a view, there are plenty of good places in the province of North. If you want to increase your knowledge, going to the Imperial City is also a good choice. Changchun Mansion is inevitably too far away. ”

"My sister must have heard that there is a 'Sword Casting Villa' in Changchun Mansion that is famous for forging weapons, and I would like to visit there. Although other places are good, there is only one such one. ”

"Do you want to go to Sword Forge Villa to build a weapon?"

"Yes, I have this idea."

"If it's to build weapons, Sword Casting Villa is indeed a good choice, and in terms of casting weapons, the only thing that can compete with Sword Casting Villa in Dayan is the 'Iron Hammer Gang'."

"The weapons produced by Sword Forge Villa are stronger than the Iron Hammer Gang in terms of reputation, so I prefer to go to Sword Forge Villa."

"Since you have such thoughts, then I won't stop you, and going a little further is also a good experience for you." Shen Luoxia groaned slightly, "Changchun Mansion is next to the 'Jinxiang Mansion', and Wanhua Valley is within the Jinxiang Mansion, and there are many flower family activities around. When you go out this time, you must bring the firecracker tube well, and it may come in handy when you are in trouble. ”

"Well, I will always carry the firecracker tube with me in case of emergency."

"It is said that there is no harmony between the several major forces in Changchun Mansion, among which the contradiction between the Taishan faction and the Three Swords Sect is the greatest, when you get there, remember not to get involved in the battle between the sects, otherwise a few lives will not be enough."

"Sister, don't worry, I won't be nosy." Zhao Zheng agreed unkindly, in fact, there are some disputes that he must participate in, otherwise he will not be able to achieve his goal.

"When are you going to leave?"

"Tomorrow."

Shen Luoxia lowered her brows and said with a wry smile: "Since you have decided to leave here, it is better to leave early." I'll notify the big guys, buy a table of good wine and good food, and practice it for you together. ”

Shen Luoxia got up, put away the silver tickets, pills and other things properly, and then went out of the house to find the guy in the store, and told Zhao Zheng that he was about to leave. That night, the butcher cooked a table of wine and food, and the guys in the store sat around to eat this farewell meal together.

During the banquet, Shen Luoxia took out the silver ticket given by Zhao Zheng, and distributed it to everyone according to Zhao Zheng's previous explanation, especially Song Kuaizui. At first, everyone didn't want this money, but as soon as they heard that Zhao Zheng's money was easy to come by, they no longer shirked it, and no one would dislike having more money. Because Song Kuaizui got the most money, he was the happiest of all, and praised Zhao Zheng, saying that Zhao Zheng did not forget to repay his kindness.

Everyone frequently toasted Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it all, and drank a full jar of daughter red in one meal, even if he could use his internal force to digest the wine power, he was a little unbearable, his head was dizzy, and his eyes were ghosted.

The others also drank a lot, and everyone got so drunk that they did not disperse until late in the night, and went back to their houses.

Zhao Zheng was so drunk that he returned to the house and fell asleep not long after.

When I woke up, it was noon the next day, much later than Zhao Zheng expected. He had a basin of water in his house, so he scooped up cold water, washed his face, refreshed himself, and then went out of the house.

Something was not quite right at the inn today, the guests who were supposed to rest or eat were all gathered in the lobby on the first floor, close to the side, and had a good conversation. It's like waiting to see a good show. And Shen Luoxia, Song Kuaizui and others. He put down the work in his hand. Sitting around, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.

In the hand of the smiling ghost Wang Er, he held an abacus, and the abacus beads were all made of iron and shining brightly. The human butcher was also fiddling with a kitchen knife in his hand, and was wiping the snow-white blade with a rag. Both of them had their usual weapons in their hands.

As soon as Zhao Zheng came out of the house, everyone's eyes immediately turned to him and focused on him.

"Sister, what does this mean?" Zhao Zheng said.

"You're leaving today. I'm going to try your hand at it with the big guys before you leave. In the Shaolin Temple, if there are warrior monks who want to go down the mountain to return to the world, they must pass the test of the eighteen bronze people array, and only after defeating the eighteen bronze men can they go down the mountain. I just want to follow the example of the Shaolin Temple today, put up a position here, and see if I can stop you. If you can outsmart all of us, you can get out of here and fly away. If you can't beat us, I'll keep you for a while. Shen Luoxia replied with a smile.

"I see. If you stop at the point, it doesn't hurt for everyone to have a discussion. Zhao Zheng suddenly realized. I agreed. He has experienced several life-and-death battles, and has long been accustomed to fighting people.

Shen Luoxia didn't expect Zhao Zheng to accept it so simply, she was a little surprised, and after a pause, she continued: "Okay, you can talk to these people in our inn one by one." Song Kuaizui, the smiling ghost, and the human butcher will stop you on the stairs, and I will stop you at the gate, if you can pass through all of us and walk out of the gate of the Red Dust Inn, you will be considered to have passed. Shen Luoxia smiled and pointed to the guests gathered on the side, "After friends from all walks of life heard about this, they all wanted to follow and watch the fun, when you do it, remember not to hurt them." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, just do what my sister says. I'm going to pick up my luggage and saber now, and if I can pass it all at once, I'll just say goodbye to everyone. Zhao Zheng hugged his fists at everyone downstairs, shook his spirits, and returned to the room. He picked up the luggage he had packed early in the morning, tied it to his shoulders, and then grabbed the sword of life hanging from the head of the bed and tied it to his waist.

Zhao Zheng went out of the house again, and at this time, the people outside had already taken action, Song Kuaizui blocked the staircase on the third floor, the smiling ghost blocked the staircase on the second floor, and the human butcher blocked the staircase on the first floor, while Shen Luoxia was still sitting downstairs, drinking warm wine for a long time.

"Hehe, I know that your martial arts have long surpassed me, but since the shopkeeper has spoken, I can't help but listen, so I can only fight with you. Later, you can be gentle, don't hurt my brother. Song said with a grin.

"Yes, I'll take care of it." Zhao Zheng agreed.

"Alright, let's do it. The guests downstairs can't wait to see the excitement. Song Kuaizui opened his posture, his legs were slightly separated, he lowered his figure, stretched forward with one hand, moved his fingers, and motioned for Zhao Zheng to move.

Zhao Zheng's martial arts were much higher than Song Kuaizui's, and Song Kuaizui challenged empty-handed, so he didn't draw his sword, so he rushed forward with his bare hands. When he got closer, he made a move to "catch the wind and catch the shadow", and reached out to grab the clothes on Song Kuaizui's arms and body. He was intent on winning with moves, so he didn't use all his strength.

Song Kuaizui could barely keep up with Zhao Zheng's speed, his eyes straightened, he adjusted his body, dodged Zhao Zheng's hands, stepped to Zhao Zheng's side, and reached out to put his hand around Zhao Zheng's neck.

Zhao Zheng stretched out one hand and put it in front of him, just stopping Song Kuaizui's arm, and then grabbed it, rushed forward with a big step, and pulled Song Kuaizui to the ground. He stopped at the point, immediately let go of his hand, said yes, and went down to the third floor.

The people downstairs saw that Zhao Zheng was like lightning and won easily, and they applauded one after another, slapped their swollen faces and pretended to be experts.

The second floor was occupied by the Smiling Ghost, who was smiling and holding an iron abacus, which was his food and his usual weapon. The abacus is not among the eighteen weapons, and this special weapon is often very special in terms of moves, and it is elusive to teach people.

"I brought you to this inn in the first place, and I will send you away today. You're welcome, boy, let the horses come. The smiling ghost flipped his hand twice, and the heavy abacus spun around his wrist several times, as if it had become a part of his body.

"Offended." Zhao Zheng still didn't use his weapon, and rushed forward with an arrow step, raising his body and falling from above with one arm. Reach for the smileyface's hair. Shaped like a chick pecking rice.

The smiling ghost flicked his abacus to tease Zhao Zheng's wrist. The abacus snapped and danced into the wind, and the force was quite large. Zhao Zheng was forced to withdraw his hand and pushed his other hand forward, he was a tentative trick before, this hand is still a trick, and it can give birth to a variety of changes.

The little finger of the smiling ghost hooked it with skill, and the abacus spun upside down. He held the abacus with both hands and blocked Zhao Zheng's hand with the abacus.

Zhao Zheng slapped his palm on the abacus, simply put his fingers into the abacus, and with a fierce force, he snatched the abacus in his hand, not giving Wang Er a chance to use the abacus.

The smiling ghost abacus took off his hand, and when he was in danger, he easily buckled off a few abacus beads and pinched them between his fingers. His eyes lit up, and he hit two abacus beads on Zhao Zheng's chest. These abacus beads are all iron, and no one can stand it when they hit them.

Zhao Zheng waved twice in a row with the abacus he had snatched. Just listen to the two crisp sounds of "jingling", and both abacus beads were hit somewhere else, and one of them fell into the wall. He stepped forward to attack, striking long and short, and swung forward with his abacus. Wang Er was forced to dodge sideways and look for an opportunity to throw the remaining few abacus.

Zhao Zheng shot repeatedly, relying on the abacus to suppress Wang Er, not giving Wang Er a chance to play a hidden weapon. He stepped out of Luo Yan's steps, and his footwork became faster and faster, gradually winding around Wang Er's back. He grabbed the gap behind Wang Er, stuffed the abacus into the belt of Wang Erhou's trousers, and pushed it forward.

Wang Er staggered forward a few steps, barely standing on his feet, and did not fall.

"Thank you Brother Wang for bringing me here in the first place, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to learn martial arts, and I recognized a good sister." Zhao Zheng hugged his fist at Wang Eryi and said with sincere gratitude.

"You've said enough of that yesterday, okay, let's go down." The smiling ghost smiled and waved his hand.

In this round of competition, Zhao Zheng won easily again, winning the cheers of everyone downstairs. He continued down to the first floor, which was guarded by human butchers.

The human butcher shook the kitchen knife in his hand, and said quickly: "Stinky boy, don't fight with me empty-handed, quickly pull out your sword." ”

"As you wish." Zhao Zheng didn't save the face of the butcher, pulled out a sword, flew on the guardrail and tapped it, attacked the butcher diagonally, and raised his sword to stab the tip of the butcher's sideburns.

The knife technique practiced by the human butcher is the Ku Ding Ox Solving Knife Method, which was realized by a butcher in ancient times when killing a cow, and the knife technique was originally only used to dissolve the meat on the cow's body, and then it was carried forward by others and transformed into a knife technique for dealing with people.

When killing cattle, this door pays attention to starting from the fragile parts of the cattle, with the least effort, to achieve the fastest and best effect, to peel off all the meat, but not to hurt the bones. When dealing with people, this knife method also maintains this purpose, and the knife must attack the most vulnerable points of the human body, which is a knife technique with a very murderous intent.

Even when it is a competition, this knife technique cannot be left behind, otherwise it will no longer be a knife technique.

I saw the human butcher raise his hand and raise his knife, use the blade of the knife against the stabbing blade, block it aside, and then burst forward with a loud cry. The blade rubbed against each other, making a serpent's spitting hiss.

Zhao Zheng flipped his wrist, and the sword in his hand broke away from the kitchen knife attached to it, and drew a semicircle to provoke the hem of the butcher's clothes.

The human butcher did not dodge, but sank his knife to hit the body of the sword. His kitchen knife was clenched in his hand, short and sharp, and extremely powerful, if it collided with the blade, he would definitely be able to bargain.

Zhao Zheng saw that the sword was strong and heavy, and he didn't want to damage the sword of his life, so he took the sword back, stabbed it on the guardrail on one side, and used his strength to push his body away from the air, flashing the fierce human butcher. His body was light, and when he landed, he was already behind the human butcher.

The human butcher danced a Tibetan knife pose, and the knife light circled around his neck to protect the vital point. He took the opportunity to turn around, faced Zhao Zheng, looked at the bone gap in Zhao Zheng's chest, raised the blade of the knife and slashed it, and the knife light drew a snowy semicircle.

Zhao Zheng saw that the butcher's knife technique was ruthless, but he was afraid of losing it, so he had to suppress it with more exquisite swordsmanship. He took a big step back to dodge this knife, and after the blade of the knife passed, he rushed forward again, and swung three swords in a row, one sword was faster than the other, and slashed at the head, chest and abdomen of the human butcher respectively, and the three cold sword lights almost formed parallel.

The human butcher saw a flower in front of him, hurriedly dismantled it, and swung out a few knives, but he couldn't touch the sword of life, as if the three sword lights were really just light, and they didn't have a substance. He secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and as soon as this thought flashed, a sword light broke through the defense of his sword body. Flashed past the side of his face. Cut off a few hairs.

Zhao Zheng won a small victory. Drifting away from the sword. The guests downstairs began to heckle again, and the outburst was louder this time because the blade combat was more ornamental.

"Stinky boy, you can defeat me with such a few tricks, it's really amazing." The human butcher scolded with a smile and waved his hand, "You go down." It's only the last level of the shopkeeper. ”

"Thank you Brother Ren for taking care of me during this time." Zhao Zheng thanked him and walked slowly down the last staircase.

Shen Luoxia drank the last few drops of wine in the cup. Slowly placing it on the table, Ying Ying got up and glanced at her brother, her eyes as gentle as promise.

"If you can't get past me, I'll really leave you behind, so it's better for you to do your best." Shen Luoxia said with a smile.

"How dare I leave room when I fight my sister." Zhao Zheng said solemnly. He is telling the truth, he and his sister are not on par with each other, and they are even inferior, so they really get started. You have to do it with all your might.

"Let's get in. Let me see how your Luo Yanbu is doing. Shen Luoxia pinched the hand of the orchid point acupoint, and her white fingers were like the tips of bamboo shoots. The hand shape is also impeccable, which has attracted many hot eyes.

The sword had no eyes, and Zhao Zheng didn't want to hurt his sister by mistake, so he didn't draw his sword and attacked directly empty-handed. His feet were buoyant, his body became light as a feather, and he rushed to his sister's side like a gust of wind. He did his best at this time, and his speed was several times faster than just now, and no one present could capture his movements with the naked eye except for Shen Luoxia.

Song Kuaizui and the others upstairs couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene, and then they understood how much water Zhao Zheng put in when he did it just now. Although they knew that Zhao Zheng was growing up quickly, they didn't expect that Zhao Zheng had grown to this state now.

Shen Luoxia's beautiful eyes flickered, and she stretched out her finger to point at the acupuncture points on Zhao Zheng's body, but she missed it, and only hit an afterimage. A single pounce may attract a powerful counterattack, she did not hesitate, after withdrawing her hand, she immediately dodged, a pair of lotus jade feet stepped on the exquisite footwork of Luo Yanbu, and Zhao Zheng whirled around, looking for an opportunity.

Zhao Zheng stretched out his hand into a claw and launched a counterattack, but he also pounced, and when he wanted to pursue again, Shen Luoxia had already stepped forward to bully. Shen Luoxia's movements seem to be harmless to humans and animals, but they actually imply various tricks. He had to avoid the edge and dodge to the side with the same pace.

Two people chased after each other, one retreated, one turned left, one turned right, one jumped up, one turned down, forming two shadows, one red and one white. Since the two of them use the same kind of light work, they work in harmony with each other, just like the yin and yang sides of Tai Chi, and they will never touch each other. Although the two were chasing, they looked like they were dancing together, without the slightest murderous aura, and they were very elegant and beautiful.

Onlookers watched the two of them fly up and down, only to feel that the scene was like two butterflies shuttling between the flowers, although they could not see the doorway, but they found it very pleasing to the eye, especially when Shen Luoxia occasionally paused, she would show a proud and graceful posture for a fleeting time.

The two relied on footwork to entangle, and they coincidentally increased their speed together, as long as whoever was faster and swam to the advantage first, was expected to win. Both of them used their fastest speed, and in this competition of speed and body technique, Shen Luoxia had a slight upper hand because she had practiced Luo Yanbu for many years and her slender legs, and took the first step to go around Zhao Zheng's back.

The corners of Shen Luoxia's ruddy lips rose, and with enough strength, she aimed at the "Shinto acupoint" on Zhao Zheng's back and stabbed it, as long as she hit this acupoint, she could put people in a coma.

Zhao Zheng's eyes widened in shock, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Shen Luoxia's movements. It was too late for him to use moves to dismantle, and in a hurry, he simply forced his internal force out of the dozen acupuncture points behind him. I saw that the clothes behind him were bulging, and an all-round force spread out, although the strength was not very strong, it was enough to resist the power of Shen Luoxia's fingers.

Shen Luoxia saw the external internal force, and only then did she know for the first time that Zhao Zheng had reached the realm of the Four Heavens, she couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly withdrew her fingers and jumped out of the battle circle.

"When did you reach the Quadruple Heaven Realm?" Shen Luoxia asked.

"Just the other day." Zhao Zheng adjusted his breathing, stood up straight and replied.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Every time I improve, you praise me like I'm showing it off. So I didn't say it this time. ”

"You, you. Humility though is a good thing. But you can't hide such a big thing from us. Shen Luoxia then said with relief, "My younger brother is really powerful, he has such an achievement at a young age, even if it is placed in the entire Great Yan Country, your cultivation speed is fast enough, and I am afraid that there are no more than a hundred young talents who can surpass you in this regard." ”

"My sister is overrated. And...... The Great Yan Country is not so small, and there are many, many young people who are faster than me in cultivation. ”

"It's because you're too humble."

Zhao Zheng was introverted and didn't like to flaunt, so he smiled and didn't continue.

Although most of the others were laymen, they all had the most basic understanding of martial arts affairs, knowing that the Quadruple Heavenly Martial Artists were already quite rare, and there were many martial artists who could hardly reach such a height in their lives, and they couldn't help but be impressed by the handsome young man in front of them.

Shen Luoxia sighed and said, "Since you have reached the realm of the Four Heavens, I can't find a reason to stop you." You're good to go. But before you go, I have another request. ”

"Sister, please speak." Zhao Zhengdao.

"I wish you could play the flute for me again."

"It's easy to do. Since my sister wants to hear it, then I'll perform for you. Zhao Zheng had a flute in his bag, and he took it out and put it horizontally in front of his lips, thinking about what kind of music he should play. He has been learning to play the flute for a long time, and now he is quite proficient in playing it, and he can often play eight or nine times when he thinks of a tune.

Shen Luoxia wanted to listen to her brother's flute and told others not to make a sound. Acquaintances didn't dare to disobey her, and people were willing to listen to her when they saw her beauty, and the audience suddenly became quiet.

Zhao Zheng thought about it, and suddenly remembered a song called "Farewell" that he often sang in elementary school, this song was carefully composed by Li Shutong, and the theme of the song just expressed the feeling of parting.

Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain.

The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered. A cloudy wine is full of joy, and there is a lot of parting tonight.

Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. Ask you when you will come, and don't linger when you come.

The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered. Life is rare to get together, only parting more!

The flute sound came out, and although the lyrics could not be played, it also clearly expressed the feelings of parting. Due to the slow pace of life of the ancients, there were not too many distractions in their hearts, and their ability to understand and accept the music was very high, and they clearly felt the meaning expressed in the song.

Compared with others, Shen Luoxia, who is the party concerned, has a deeper feeling for the sound of the flute, and when she thinks of this farewell, she can't see her brother again for a long time, and she is so sad that she actually shed tears of "let's do it". This frightened others, Shen Luoxia has opened an inn for many years, and this is the first time she has cried in front of outsiders.

Drops of crystal tears slid down his chin and dripped on the ground, clean and transparent, but full of sorrow.

Zhao Zheng couldn't bear it, stopped, and put down the green bamboo flute in his hand.

Shen Luoxia burst into tears, she could no longer be as strong as usual, hugged Zhao Zheng in front of her, and cried: "After you get outside, you'd rather bully others than let others bully you." Now that you've decided to go out, make a name for me! ”

"Yes, I will." Zhao Zheng's eyes were also a little sour, and he couldn't let the tears overflow.

"Long pain is better than short pain, if you want to go, go quickly, otherwise I will be more uncomfortable." Shen Luoxia cried and pushed Zhao Zheng away, and instead of seeing Zhao Zheng off, she ran upstairs crying.

Zhao Zhengmu sent his sister away, closed the door of the boudoir, made a ruthless heart, hugged his fist at the inn, made a go-fang salute, and shouted: "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, everyone take care, I am leaving!" As he spoke, he pushed the door out of the house, turned to the backyard, led a fast horse, and rode up Zhongguan Road.

The people in the inn walked out of the inn one after another to bid farewell to Zhao Zheng, and even some people who didn't know each other came out. On the third floor of the inn, a window quietly opened a gap, casting a reluctant gaze.

Zhao Zheng rode towards the south, leaving behind everyone's goodbye and the Hongchen Inn, where he had lived for two years. (To be continued.) )
