"Zi said: Rich and noble are what people want, and they do not get it by their way, and they will not be able to get it; poverty and cheapness are what people are evil, and they will not be able to get it by their way, and they will not go to it. A gentleman goes to benevolence, and evil becomes famous? A gentleman violates benevolence without an end of food, and the time must be so, and the upheaval must be so. ”

With the sound of the old man reading, an old man came out of the crowd. The old man stood with his hands on his hands, his Confucian shirt was as straight as a pine, with a crane-haired and childish face, he had a bit of fairy bearing, and his kind eyebrows and kind eyes were even more gentle and elegant.

After the old man stood up, he looked at the more than 20 bandits, shook his head and said: "Zi said: See the virtuous and think together, and see the unvirtuous and introspect yourself." ”

When the Valan bandits saw that an old guy pretending to be a ghost suddenly jumped out, they all stood still, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. If it were in the past, these bandits would not care who you were, and unless you showed your means as soon as you came, you would dare to jump out and fight immediately.

If you can't beat it, it's a big deal to kneel down and beg for mercy, but will those big people still see the same knowledge as ants like them? Once you kneel and beg for mercy, most of them can escape, but if you can't do it, it's a big deal to die.

If you do this business, you have to pin your head to the waistband of your pants, and if you provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked, you must be ready to die.

It's just that after the events of the day before yesterday, they were a little unpredictable, how could such a decisive person as the big boss ever be soft on a yellow-haired boy who won a battle? But the day before yesterday, not only did he succumb, but he also gave a treasure to the kid, and even told them a thousand times before leaving.

I think this kid should have some big deal.

It's just that these bandits haven't seen the vast world outside after all, and even those bandits who followed the big boss first were only subdued in ten miles and eight towns.

In addition to knowing that under their feet is the Great Zhao Kingdom, these people can't even understand the realm of martial artists, and they don't even know other cultivation systems, let alone the major mountain gates and academies that stand on the top of Zhao Kingdom.

The one they heard the most was the only small gang in Fan City, Zhengyangmen.

Just when the bandits were hesitating, the poisonous snake that had been kicked away by Tang Yi suddenly jumped out and shouted angrily at the old man: "Old thing, don't pretend to be a ghost here!"

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Tang Yi, gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, do you dare to fight Lao Tzu again?"

For today's poisonous snakes, Tang Yi is naturally not afraid, although the other party was stronger than himself before, but because the other party did not understand his moves, he was cut off an arm, and now he may not be inferior to him.

It's just that after seeing the more than 20 bandits in front of him, Tang Yi was a little hesitant, in case Li Lao didn't work, and the other party took advantage of his fight with the poisonous snake to attack, then it would be difficult for him to run away with Granny Ma and the little divine doctor.

Well, if only two people can be saved, Tang Yi will definitely save these two, and as for the other Li Laosan and Li Lao and others, they can only ask for more blessings.

Just when Tang Yi was hesitating, Li Lao suddenly spoke: "Sizhong, this person is disrespectful to the teacher, and as a student, he will not teach this rebellious person a lesson on behalf of Mr."

Sizhong is the word that Li Lao gave to Tang Yi, he said that since he wants to pretend to be a gentleman, he can't call his name directly, but he should have a word to call it, even if it is a temporary word. But where would Tang Yi come up with a name? Over and over again, it is a mighty and domineering name such as Batian, Tianba, etc., don't say that Li is old, even Granny Ma feels bad after hearing it.

In the end, it was Li Lao who helped him come up with this word, and Li Lao said that it was difficult to achieve both loyalty and righteousness since ancient times, but he didn't believe it. Since Tang Yi has a single name of 'righteousness', the word should be 'loyalty', so he was given the word 'Sizhong'.

To be honest, Tang Yi really doesn't like this word, but there is no way, who can't think of a better one?

Hearing Li Lao's words at this time, Tang Yi, as a 'student', couldn't hesitate any longer, pulled out the long sword behind his back, Zhu Yeqing, and attacked the poisonous snake.

After Tang Yi and the poisonous snake fought together, the old man looked at the rest of the bandits and said proudly: "The old man's surname is Li, and he is a teacher of Qingshan Academy. If you don't know the identity of the old man, you can go back and ask the owner of your village, don't say that it is your little Waran Village, and ask him to see if Huju Mountain can afford to provoke the old man!"

When the big boss and Tang Yi talked the day before yesterday, they had indeed heard about Huju Mountain and Qingshan Academy many times. It seems that the big boss is the one who stands in the mountains, and he is quite afraid of this Qingshan Academy.

After the four of them glanced at each other, they suddenly turned their horses' heads and shouted at the poisonous snake, "Go!"

When the poisonous snake heard this, he turned around and was about to leave, but Li Lao's words were poured on his head like cold water, "Let's go?

After the four people squinted at Li Lao for a long time, they suddenly glanced at each other and said, "After the poisonous snake is broken, the rest of the people will withdraw!"

It is said that after the break, in fact, the poisonous snake has been abandoned, and there is not much brotherhood in the eyes of these bandits. Valan Village is not an ordinary bandit cottage, and the two owners of the village are not ordinary mountain bandits who occupy the mountain, what they want is just sharp blades, as for whether these sharp blades will collide with each other, where will they care?

If any of the swords are not sharp, it is a big deal to replace them with a new one.

Therefore, as long as the strength is good, the Valan village will be accepted, no matter what the person's temperament is, will it damage the brotherhood in the village.

There is a saying that a piece of stinky meat spoils a pot of soup, even if there were originally people in the cottage who talked about brotherhood, but after seeing the people around them killed by the so-called 'brothers', they didn't talk about it anymore.

Seeing that he was decisively abandoned, the poisonous snake gritted his teeth and glared at his companion who had already run dozens of feet away with a resentful face, and then turned around and attacked Tang Yi.

His face was full of madness, and his shots became more ruthless, and he no longer considered defense but only offense between his swords, as if he wanted to pull Tang Yi to pad his back before he died.

The poisonous snake's left-handed sword was originally mainly for assassination, and it was mostly an offensive move, so at this time, he really brought out the power of the left-handed sword after disregarding his personal safety.

Tang Yi was originally able to fight with the poisonous snake, but at this time, after the other party tried his best, he immediately began to be overstretched, and he could only defend and not attack with dozens of moves, and he was already at an absolute disadvantage, and it seemed that defeat was only a matter of time.

Li Laosan was in a hurry watching from the sidelines, and wanted to rush up to help several times, but he was pulled back by Xiufeng every time.

After all, he is seriously injured and has not healed, so he can only walk, and the little doctor has long said that if he does something with someone before the injury is healed, ninety percent of them may die, and the remaining one percent will die!

In this case, where is Xiufeng willing to let Li Laosan go to fight with others?

But even Xiufeng, a person who had never studied martial arts, saw that Tang Yi's situation was not good, so she held Li Laosan's arm tightly with both hands, both afraid that Li Laosan would rush up and go crazy, and worried that Tang Yi would lose.

Xiufeng anxiously glanced at the people around, wanting to see who could go up to help Tang Yi, but except for Li Laosan, the rest here were either elderly people or powerless people like the little divine doctor, even if the pillar was just an ordinary person.

Suddenly, Xiufeng saw the crossbow on the back of the pillar, and hurriedly shouted the pillar to his side and asked him to take the crossbow down. Although the pillar's archery skills are good, it is much worse than Li Laosan in the True Martial Arts Realm, so Xiufeng immediately gave it to Li Laosan after taking the crossbow.

Li Laosan's eyes lit up when he took the crossbow, and he hurriedly took the crossbow and looked at Tang Yi and the two who were fighting.

At this time, there were already seven or eight more blood holes on Tang Yi's clothes, and most of the plain robe he had just changed into today had been dyed blood red in front of him.

Tang Yi's swordsmanship is okay, and his understanding of swordsmanship is not rigid, but his experience is too little and his time to practice martial arts is too short, and his reaction to the enemy has not yet been engraved into his bones. But no matter how fast the person reacts, there must be a certain time difference between the eyes and hands.

Tang Yi's reaction was fast enough, and he had even begun to predict the snake's moves and attack direction, but even so, he still couldn't completely block the snake's attack, which was pure experience being crushed.

Even the most talented person cannot have a lot of experience in one or two battles and develop a physical reaction to the enemy, which requires a long period of a lot of battles to accumulate.

Genius can only learn the opponent's combat skills in a short period of time.

Tang Yi's talent is not too bad, and he has learned the fighting skills of poisonous snakes to four or five percent in such a short time, which is already very good. But these skills alone only gave him the slightest possibility of exchanging injuries for injuries, and as for winning the poisonous snake, it was still impossible.

Unless the viper is willing to give him time to fight with him for three days and three nights, this is still possible.

It's just that the poisonous snake would be so stupid? Can he make a name for himself in Valan Village, and survive to this day, which one is a fool? If it weren't for the fact that after Tang Yi's right arm was cut off, he was a little stimulated, and he wouldn't even take the initiative to jump out and fight Tang Yi like this today.

The poisonous snake stabbed forward with the long sword in his left hand, and took advantage of the time when Tang Yi swung his sword to block in advance, and flew and kicked at Tang Yi's left hand holding the sword. Seeing this, Tang Yi hurriedly blocked the snake's right foot with his right hand, but the snake's kick was also a false move.

I saw the viper's body spin in the air, and his left foot kicked Tang Yi's chest hard, followed by the long sword on the ground a little faster, and his right foot also kicked on his chest.

Tang Yi received two kicks in a row, and immediately took four or five steps back, but as soon as he stood still, he saw that the long sword of the poisonous snake had already arrived in front of him, and it was only three inches away from the center of his eyebrows.

The tip of the sword was close in front of him, where did Tang Yi remember what three thousand years of Taoism and sword qi swords, and hurriedly retreated back, but where was it still too late?

Seeing the tip of the sword in the center of his eyebrows, Tang Yi hurriedly closed his eyes, blocked it with his right hand, and slashed forward with his left hand indiscriminately. It's just that after a breath, the center of the eyebrows didn't feel like they were being stabbed, only a slight sound of 'ding' was heard, and the bamboo leaf green in his left hand seemed to have been stabbed with something.

Immediately afterward, a series of 'puff puffs' sounds were heard, which seemed to be the sound of crossbow arrows hitting the flesh.

Tang Yi hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see the poisonous snake staring at him with an incredible expression, raising the sword in his left hand, and the bamboo leaf green pierced the viper's lower abdomen.

The sword on the lower abdomen is not deadly, but the real lethal is the four crossbow arrows that pierce the chest, revealing the tip of an inch.

"What the hell is this...... What's the situation?"

Tang Yi glared, looked at the long sword raised high by the poisonous snake, and muttered in disbelief.
