Chapter 2 Martial Arts
In order to have a bite to eat, Tang Xian finally gave in, entered through the back door of the Wang family, walked to the backyard of the Wang family in a very low-key manner, and began to chop firewood.
"Crack!"
The work of chopping firewood has been going on for ten years since I can remember, and the sharp firewood knives that were sharp a few years ago have now become tattered.
But although the firewood knife is getting more and more broken, Tang Xian's firewood chopping skills are soaring.
At first, when encountering a hardwood that could not be chopped, Tang Xian sprinkled and played tricks, blaming the firewood knife for not being sharp. Every day, he needs to chop out the firewood used by his employer for five days, and Tang Xian, who is tired, has a sore back and legs. But the more he went on, the more Tang Xian found that although chopping firewood was vulgar, it was also a technical job. Along the cracks in the wood, a skillful one, even the hardest ironwood, can be split with a knife.
You must know that in many martial arts halls, ironwood is a wooden stake used as a target for sword training, and the hardness can be imagined.
However, this is a little secret that Tang Xian has hidden in his heart for three or four years. Because Tang Xian knew that the better the technique, the more work the old man Lu would send, and the old guy was very black-hearted.
Tang Xian took out a booklet while chopping wood.
The booklet was handed down by Old Man Lu, and all kinds of rumors about the rivers and lakes were recorded on it, and the episodes that Old Man Lu talked about on weekdays were all recorded in it.
The booklet is a little heavy, the footer is yellowed, and the cover has three words written "Commenting on the World", I heard that it was written by Old Man Lu himself.
"Cut, such an atmospheric name, and I'm not afraid of flashing my old waist. Tang Xian said disdainfully. God knows if the bridge in it was made up by Old Man Lu after drinking?
However, when Tang is free, he will take it out and take a look, hoping to inherit the mantle of Old Man Lu and run a small teahouse earlier, at least he doesn't have to do the hard work of chopping firewood every day.
Flipping through "Commenting on the World", Tang Xian muttered: "Last year, the official family updated the martial arts list, and the top ten masters were replaced by three, so many big things, it was enough for Old Man Lu to talk nonsense for two or three years." ”
The martial arts list, updated by the imperial court every five years, will cause an uproar in the rivers and lakes every time.
In last year's martial arts list, the newly promoted sword immortal - Li Fuxue, forced back the tenth-ranked old monk of Jinchan Temple with a sword across the river, and was ranked sixth in the world by the official family.
The assassin Wu Feng, who killed the leader of the Five Poisons Cult on a rainy night, was unharmed, and retreated, and was ranked ninth. He is also the only assassin on the martial arts list.
The Heavenly Master's Mansion of Zhongnan Mountain has been low-key for many years, and there is an old way that specializes in using bamboo baskets to draw water, and a demon subduing talisman actually forced back the demon clan's Qingyu Great Sage, ranking fifth.
And the first person in the world to cultivate - eunuch Han Hu, it is said that the internal force cultivation has reached the realm of the half-open gate of heaven, and no one can match the rivers and lakes, but it is still ranked second.
As for the first position...... But it belongs to a name - mountain people!
It is rumored that every fifty years, a person from the mountain comes down from the mountain, holding a book of rewards and punishments, and kills those who should be killed. Whoever is written in the book of rewards and punishments is spared. No matter who the person who went down the mountain was, he was overwhelming the entire rivers and lakes.
One hundred and eighty years ago, Xinghua Mountain walked down to ride a cow shepherd boy, only 20 years, with a hand to burn the secret art of wine, suppressed the entire rivers and lakes, known as the wine craftsman.
One hundred and thirty years ago, Lushan walked down a dozen iron youths, claiming to be a master of wine craftsmen, and a thousand catties of iron hammers smashed back the invasion of the four demon kings, known as the blacksmiths.
Eighty years ago, a young carpenter walked down from Zhulin Mountain, claiming to be a blacksmith descendant, making his own carpentry mechanism, killing the ghosts and ghosts to flee from the wind, known as the carpenter.
So far, 80 years have passed since the previous generation of mountain people, carpenters, but no rising star has been found to be the successor of carpenters, but no one dares to sit in the first position in the rivers and lakes.
Because everyone was afraid of touching the mold of the mountain people, they were recorded in the book of rewards and punishments like the book of life and death.
Even the dolls in the mountain village will sing a few ballads: "Once upon a time there was a mountain, there were gods in the mountain, and there were wicked people in the world, and the mountain people came down the mountain......"
"Once upon a time there was a mountain ......" Tang Xian hummed in his mouth, chopping wood with his right hand and flipping through the book with his left hand.
Turning to the latest page, suddenly a paragraph caught Tang Xian's attention.
'The Wang family of Jiuqi Town, the knife in the sleeve, passed on from the Jinzhou Wang family, the knife is heavy on lightness, a knife in the hand, can be turned into three points of knife qi, attacking three key points in the upper body......
"Huh?" suddenly Tang Xian frowned.
This old man Lu writes a book, and it will come with the principles of some famous masters, and the farmers in Jiuqi Town don't understand it, so they just think that Old Man Lu is making it up and bluffing people. But I didn't expect that this old man Lu even added the bridge section of the Wang family.
"Could it be that the people of Jiuqi Town are tired of hearing about the things on the rivers and lakes outside, and the old man Lu is going to expand the market in this town?" Tang Xian smacked his lips and said: "Tsk, I didn't expect that he would dare to make up the nonsense of the Wang family, and he was not afraid that the people of the Wang family would smash his tea stall." ”
But it's better to talk than nothing, chopping wood is boring, and you always have to find some other fun, Tang Xian continued to read.
After a while, just as Tang Xian was in a trance, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him: "Coming?"
"Wang!" Suddenly, Tang Xian was like a fried dog, and he was so frightened that he barked. Suddenly he rolled and crawled to the side.
The person who came was a young girl, dressed in glass white, with a slightly immature face, and a flush of anger on her snow-white face.
It is the eldest lady of the Wang family - Wang Shan.
"Huh...... I haven't seen you for a few days, Miss Wang is beautiful again......" Tang Xian grinned and said dryly.
"Don't be presumptuous!" Wang Shan gritted her silver teeth and said, "Say! How do you want to die!"
You must know that when Tang Xian forcibly kissed himself, he directly kissed a strawberry mark on his snow-white face, and he didn't dare to see anyone for a few days under the pretext of retreat, and his anger was stored for a long time, and he was finally able to explode at this time.
Thinking of this, Wang Shan had a frost on her face and said coldly: "Even if you call grandma today, don't try to escape this catastrophe!"
As soon as Wang Shan's words fell, Tang Xian knelt on the ground suddenly, kowtowed desperately at Wang Shan, and shouted, "Grandma!
"You?!" Wang Shan was stunned, she didn't expect this scoundrel to be so shameless, so neat.
The next moment, Tang Xian changed direction, and bowed to the yellow dog basking in the sun under the wall, and shouted frantically: "Grandpa!
Isn't this scolding Wang Shan and this yellow dog......
Suddenly, Wang Shan's head was dizzy, but she felt the blood rushing to her brain, and this overwhelming anger made her stunned for an instant.
Taking advantage of the moment when Wang Shan was stunned, he saw Tang Xian bounce up from the ground and run to the back door like crazy.
After all, Wang Shan is a person who practices martial arts, his brain reacts very quickly, and he instantly understands Tang Xian's intentions, and at the moment when Tang Xian turns around, he takes a little footstep, and his delicate body is like a breeze, attacking Tang Xian.
"Death!" Wang Shan shouted.
I saw Wang Shan shake his hand in the air, a silver light flashed, and he pulled out a half-meter-long knife from his sleeve, and the internal force urged the knife in his sleeve to flash the knife.
The sword light was printed on Tang Xian's face, and in an instant, Tang Xian seemed to feel the biting coldness that only Laba Ba had.
is worthy of being a person who participated in the selection of six doors, and he really has some ability!
As the knife got closer and closer, Tang Xian unconsciously recalled in his mind a passage he had just seen in "Commenting on the World", "The knife in the sleeve can be turned into three points of knife qi and attack three key points in the upper body......"
Suddenly, as if a conditioned reflex, Tang Xian rolled on a lazy donkey and lay down.
In an instant, three wisps of cold brushed against my back.
I really dodged this inevitable knife!
The girl landed lightly, and Tang Xian lay on the ground like a dead dog.
Wang Shan was stunned: "You actually dodged this knife......
Tang Xian was stunned: "What Old Man Lu wrote is right......?"
