Chapter 102 Goodbye to the deceased
The Wudang 13th Style is well known, it is a low-grade swordsmanship on the bad street, and it can even be bought at the stalls, but the Wudang 15th Style is not known to anyone, and the name is very obscure.
People who don't know how to do it may think that this is a fake that fools people, but in fact, it is not, there is indeed a Wudang fifteen style in this world, but there are very few people who know it.
At the beginning, in order to promote martial arts and strengthen the prestige of the Wudang faction, the ancestor of the Wudang faction publicly spread a Wudang Thirteen Style to the rivers and lakes. Don't look at this martial arts thirteen styles, it's just a low-grade martial arts, but one move and one style are very regular, and all of them are basic movements in swordsmanship. There are many powerful swordsmanship in the world, all of which are improved on the basis of the Wudang Thirteen Styles.
Even the Maha swordsmanship that Zhao Zhengshen learned, there are many moves that are absorbed from the Wudang Thirteen Styles, and he never dares to underestimate this basic swordsmanship.
Many years after the death of the ancestor of the Wudang faction, there were great waves in the sect, and a new group of outstanding people appeared. Among them, there was a master who heard rumors on the rivers and lakes, and heard many people say that the Wudang Thirteen-style swordsmanship and swordsmanship were rubbish, ordinary and powerless. This master was quite angry, and when he heard this rumor, he was furious and made a decision to improve the Wudang Thirteen Style to boost the door authority.
On the basis of the Wudang Thirteen Styles, this master studied painstakingly for several years, and finally achieved something, researching and improving a new swordsmanship, which was later known as the Wudang Fifteen Styles.
The Wudang 15 style is much higher than the Wudang 13 style in terms of subtlety and swordsmanship. On the surface. This sword technique has been transformed very successfully. But this is not the case. Because this swordsmanship has transformed the original Wudang Thirteen Styles beyond recognition, every move and style has changed. Instead of calling it Wudang Fifteen Style, it is better to take another name.
Because the moves have changed too much, it is difficult to teach people to be convinced even if it is spread to the rivers and lakes, and this swordsmanship is too focused on power and too heavy. This master hesitated again and again, and finally dismissed the original intention of announcing this swordsmanship to the public, and he didn't bother to fight with those ignorant laymen on the rivers and lakes. Instead, he left this sword technique in the sect and did not publicize it everywhere.
These are the origins of the Wudang Fifteen Style.
Zhao Zheng saw that Jiang Yong took out this Wudang fifteen style, and he was stunned for a moment, and changed color slightly. He knew this sword technique very well, and knew that this was a medium-grade martial arts, and it was a private sword technique within the Wudang sect, which was very valuable, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "No, no, how can I receive such a valuable gift." Hall Master Jiang quickly took back the cheats. ”
"Zhao Shaoxia, you can keep it. If you refuse to accept any gifts, I will have trouble sleeping. This sword technique is just two more styles of swordsmanship than the Wudang Thirteen Style. It's not precious. Jiang Yong pushed the cheats over again.
"No matter how you say it, this is also a swordsmanship circulated within the Wudang faction, and I am not a member of the Wudang faction, how can I be cheeky to stay."
"Zhao Shaoxia rest assured, this sword technique is different from the secret martial arts such as Tai Chi Sword Technique, Tai Chi Boxing, and Pure Yang Wuji Gong in the door, and it can be spread to the outside world, even if you take it to enjoy it, you will never cause trouble. In case you run into someone from Wudang Sect and ask about this secret book, you can just say that I gave it to you. ”
Zhao Zheng postponed it a few more times, but Jiang Yong refused to give him the swordsmanship. He was forced to accept the swordsmanship. Although he couldn't spare time to practice this sword technique, it was still good to take the time to learn a one-and-a-half-move. His Maha swordsmanship is inclusive, and he can take the world's swordsmanship for his own use, and the more swordsmanship he touches, the better.
Jiang Yong gave a heavy gift and repaid the kindness, and his heart was finally more down-to-earth. He said goodbye to Zhao Zheng and left here in a hurry with a group of Wudang sect members.
Presumably, this group of people will definitely send the clues they just got back to the sect non-stop, and they will be in charge of dealing with it.
Zhao Zheng estimated that the Wudang faction would suffer this loss, and would not rashly declare war with Yeyuemen, even if they wanted to take revenge, they would quietly investigate the details of Yeyuemen. After a long time, it is estimated that this matter will be over. In Zhao Zheng's memory, there will not be a violent conflict between the major factions in the near future, and the dignified Night Moon Gate will not be eradicated so quickly, but will not surface until a few years later.
Not only the Yeyue Gate, but many major events in the rivers and lakes happened a few years later. By that time, Zhao Zheng should already have a high level of cultivation, and he could decide how to face those big events based on his own likes and dislikes.
"Maybe I can be the leader of the martial arts alliance in the future." Zhao Zheng daydreamed and laughed it off.
That night, Zhao Zheng picked up the lamp and read it at night, read the Wudang 15 style in his hand several times, and entered the wooden house to rehearse it a few times, deepening his impression. He didn't plan to learn this sword technique, nor did he plan to study it deeply, but he just hoped to gain inspiration from it, and then add the inspiration to the Maha sword technique to further improve the Maha sword technique.
Early the next morning, Zhao Zheng and Zihuan left the inn and set off on the road. They walked a little way, returned to the avenue, and continued southward, walking more than a thousand miles to reach the Sword Forge Villa. However, the two of them did not plan to go directly to the Sword Forge Villa, but would stay away from the avenue halfway and go to the "Evil Bee Valley" instead.
Before Zhao Zheng went south, he once traveled with an ascetic monk named Xuan Annihilation, and guided him to the Valley of the Evil Bee to practice. The two parted halfway, and I don't know if they went to the Valley of the Evil Bee after the Xuan Annihilation. Zhao Zheng happened to pass through the Evil Bee Valley this time, so he planned to stop by to have a look.
Helping Xuan Xuan to cultivate is a long-term task, and it is necessary to guide Xuan Xuan to go to multiple locations to endure hardships and practice, and the Evil Bee Valley is only the first one, and in the future, you will have to guide Xuan Xuan to other poor mountains and evil waters. Now it seems that this kind of thing will be very troublesome, but once the Xuanxuan Da is enlightened in the future, he will pass on all his life's martial arts to the person who instructs him, and at that time, all the efforts will be worth it.
Zhao Zheng calculated the time, there are not many days left before the ring is held, and the road can't be too leisurely, so you have to speed up your pace. The two rode fast horses for two days, and at this time it was almost dark, the sun was thin, the sky was full of red clouds, and even the road was paved with a layer of drunken red.
"Alas. I walked to a broken place where there was no village in front of the village and no store in the back. At night, I had to eat and sleep in the open again. Zihuan said depressedly.
"Close to nature. It's actually pretty good. Zhao Zheng didn't care.
"You like nature so much, why don't you marry a big tree as your wife."
"It's not impossible, I'm afraid that the big tree won't agree."
The two teased all the way, not noticing a figure lurking behind a tree not far from the roadside.
The man quietly watched the whereabouts of the two of them, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold gaze. When the two of them were far away, the man quietly jumped off the trunk of the tree and landed silently. Look at the figure is actually a woman.
Zhao Zheng and Zihuan didn't realize that they were being targeted, and they were still walking forward with a smile.
As she walked, Zihuan suddenly pointed to the side of the road and said happily: "Look over there, there seems to be a dilapidated house there, now it's okay, we have a place to stay, at least we don't have to live in the wild." ”
Zhao Zheng looked over, his eyesight was not as far as Zihuan, and he could only vaguely see a vague shadow. Not waiting for him to recognize. Zihuan beside him had already urged the horse to rush up, leaving a trail of smoke and dust. He chuckled. Then catch up.
The further you run, the clearer the dilapidated house in front of you becomes. When I got closer, it turned out to be a deserted inn, many years old, the walls had peeled off, and the windows were only wooden shelves, and there was a smell of decay inside.
No matter how broken the house is, it is stronger than the wild, and the two immediately decided to stay here and spend the night. The two entered the house, chose two small rooms by the window, and divided one each, one of which had a wooden bed, which was naturally given to Zihuan.
The two performed their own duties and divided their labor, with Zhao Zheng cleaning the room and Zihuan supervising Zhao Zheng......
The room was "cleaned", and the two sat opposite each other on the old wooden bed and ate dry food.
By this time it was already dark, the moon was climbing the branches, and the stars were blinking and telling their stories.
After eating, the two wanted to go back to the house to rest, but at this moment, Zihuan pricked up her ears and said vigilantly: "Someone is riding over." ”
"Come here, come here. There is no shortage of passers-by on this road, what is unusual, you will tell me next time there is a horse rider. Zhao Zhengdao.
"What if a stranger comes to this house to spend the night?" Zihuan glanced at Zhao Zheng and continued to listen, "The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer...... Thirty zhang, twenty zhang, ten zhang...... When it was over, the horse stopped at the door of the dilapidated house. ”
"It's fine if there's only one person to stay overnight, but there are still several rooms here, so it's out of the way." Zhao Zheng didn't care.
While the two were talking, the passer-by who came here rashly outside the door shouted, "Is there anyone in the house?" The little woman passed by and dared to spend the night here. ”
The voice is delicate, like the sound of a warbler, which is very pleasant to the ear.
"It turned out to be a little woman." Zhao Zheng smiled.
"As soon as you hear that it is a little woman, your face will be bright, why don't you hurry up and offer your hospitality and welcome people in." Zihuan pouted in the direction of the gate.
Zhao Zheng walked out of the house with a smile, walked to the door, clasped the doorknob with both hands, pulled it slightly, and looked out of the house.
In the clear moonlight, a woman stood holding a brown horse. She was graceful and graceful, wearing a pink short brown, with a scarf covering her face, unable to see clearly, a short sword at her waist, and seemed to be able to embroider her legs with both hands.
"Girl, I am a passer-by like you, and when I saw a dilapidated house here where I could rest, I moved in. There are also quite a few rooms here, so if you don't mind, just come in and stay for one night. If you mind, there's no way. Zhao Zheng nodded and said politely.
"To tell you the truth, I am a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, I don't care about doing things in small ways, and I don't care about living under the same roof with strange men. Look at the son, you are magnificent, your eyes are huo, and you are wearing a sharp sword at your waist, you must also be a person in the rivers and lakes. Since they are both people in the rivers and lakes, and they are brothers from all over the world, there is no need to avoid anything. The strange woman said delicately.
"Since you don't mind, come in and take shelter." Zhao Zheng flashed to the side.
"Thank you Gongzi for borrowing the precious place to rest." The strange woman bowed, walked to the door, tied her horse to the window frame, and strode into the house.
When he staggered by, Zhao Zheng smelled a charming fragrance from the strange woman, and couldn't help but take a deep breath quietly, secretly saying that it was so fragrant.
Zihuan also walked out at this time, greeted the strange woman, and exchanged names. The strange woman claimed to be Wu Xiaoru. This trip is to travel all over the world. Find a famous teacher to worship at the door. Zihuan saw that this sister looked weak. It's not like she has any experience in the rivers and lakes, so she persuaded her to go home with good words and persuade her to go home, don't wade into the troubled waters of the rivers and lakes.
Wu Xiaoru didn't appreciate it, and politely diverted the topic, seemingly not planning to change her mind. Zihuan touched a soft nail and felt bored, so she didn't say anything more.
Zhao Zheng has always been pitiful and cherished. took the initiative to help Wu Xiaoru choose a room, clean it up, and leave it for Wu Xiaoru to live in. Wu Xiaoru thanked her and went in to rest, but not long after entering, she opened the door and came out again.
"Why are you out again?" Zhao Zheng stood on his feet and turned around and asked.
"I've run out of dry food and I'm a little hungry, can you sell me some of the dry food you carry?" Wu Xiaoru said embarrassedly.
"Hehe, what doesn't sell. If you're short of dry food, I'll give you some. It's like you just said. All corners of the world are brothers, and we should help each other. Zhao Zheng generously agreed.
He turned back to his room, and pulled out a few dry cakes, a few pieces of meat, a jar of pickles, and a pot of water from the package. He took these things back to Wu Xiaoru's room and gave them to Wu Xiaoru without asking for a penny.
"Thank you Zhao Gongzi for your generous gift, you are such a warm-hearted person." Wu Xiaoru Yingying bowed.
"It's just some worthless dry food, it's nothing. These things are only eaten when they are on the road, and if they are in the town, who will eat these unpalatable things. The dry cake was so hard that it almost caught up with the stones, and the jerky didn't taste like meat at all, not to mention the pickles, which were almost as salty as the salty water. Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly.
"Even if it's unpalatable, in this place where there is no village or store, these dry foods are extremely precious food, and even if you have money, it's hard to buy them."
"That's just as well." Zhao Zheng nodded, "You eat slowly in the house, if you need anything, you can go to me again." ”
"You want to go back to the house and rest?"
"yes."
"Can you rest later?"
"Hehe, if you have anything to say, just say it. No need to beat around the bush. Zhao Zheng saw that this Wu Xiaoru had other things to say besides dry food.
"As you can see, I do have something else to ask you for. These days, I have been on the road for days, and there is no one to accompany me on the road, so I feel a little lonely and lonely, and I really want to find someone to talk to. I feel like I'm quite in love with you, can you stay and talk to me for a while? Wu Xiaoru pleaded softly.
"Of course, this kind of trivial thing is fine, but ...... Why don't you talk to Zihuan? You're both women, wouldn't it be better to talk. Zhao Zheng wondered.
"Hehe, the same sex repels each other, the opposite sex attracts, doesn't the son even understand this truth?" Wu Xiaoru smiled, and a pair of watery smoke waves bent into a crescent moon.
"That's true." Zhao Zheng smiled when he heard this.
"It's good that Childe understands, I just want to have a good chat with you, I don't want to talk to Sister Zihuan, if you don't dislike it, come in and accompany me." Wu Xiaoru moved to the side, she also had a bed in this room, but the room had no window.
This kind of request really can't be refused, Zhao Zheng is respectful and obedient, stepped into the house, and sat down on the wooden bed generously.
Wu Xiaoru took all kinds of food and sat on the other side of the wooden bed, chatting with Zhao Zheng while eating. She likes to ask questions, asked Zhao Zheng a lot of things, and asked Zhao Zheng what martial arts he learned, where he came from, and where he was going.
Zhao Zheng answered all the irrelevant questions, but the important questions were not answered.
Wu Xiaoru had a face towel on her face, and she had to stuff food into the face towel when eating, which was very troublesome, and she swallowed slowly, so she ate even more slowly.
The two chatted with each other, gradually increasing their understanding, and Wu Xiaoru suddenly said: "This face towel is so in the way, Zhao Gongzi is not an outsider, I will take off the face towel, why hide it from my friends." As she spoke, she stretched out her Qianqianyu hand, hooked the corner of the face towel, tore open the button, and gently took it off, revealing her true face.
Zhao Zheng looked over by candlelight and was stunned when he saw it.
Wu Xiaoru was born extremely beautiful, her eyebrows were picturesque, her mouth and nose were like poems, fluttering like a fairy descending to earth, not stained with any mortal dust, without the slightest flaw, and it was a little too perfect.
However, Zhao Zheng was in a daze not because Wu Xiaoru was good-looking, he still had this concentration, the real reason why he was in a daze was that he knew Wu Xiaoru!
This afternoon Xiaoru is a fake name at all, and this world-famous face is also fake, just a human skin mask, this woman's real identity is Xu Ruyi! The painted skin ghost among the five ghosts of moving mountains is Xu Ruyi!
Zhao Zheng remembered Xu Ruyi's appearance of several human skin masks, so he recognized them at a glance, this human skin mask was the most beautiful one in Xu Ruyi's hand, and Xu Ruyi relied on this human skin mask to rank tenth on the beauty list. But a fake is a fake, and this human skin mask is useless no matter how beautiful it is.
At the beginning, Zhao Zheng ruined the good deeds of the family of the five ghosts who moved the mountain, this Xu Ruyi must have a grudge against this, this time he disguised himself and changed his appearance as a beauty to find Zhao Zheng, and there would be no good thing if he guessed.
"Wu Xiaoru...... Xu Ruyi...... Even the names are a bit similar, and I don't know what the hell you have in mind, so I have to be careful. I'm glad I know your human skin mask, otherwise I would have deceived you today. Zhao Zheng muttered in his heart, staring at Xu Ruyi tightly.
Xu Ruyi didn't know that he had been recognized, and thought that Zhao Zheng was in a daze because he was fascinated by his beauty, and couldn't help but be secretly proud. (To be continued......)
