Chapter 0018: A Sword to Fame

In June of the 40th year of Jiajing, an astonishing news spread all over the land of Guanzhong: the three villages of Qiaoshan were exterminated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's so strange about that." In the hall on the first floor of Qixian Building, the most famous restaurant in Chang'an City, a young man in a green shirt said disapprerovingly, "In the past ten years, Qiaoshan Sanzhai has done many evils, and there are countless enemies, and it is normal to be exterminated. Isn't our Eagle Claw Gate also a grudge against Black Wind Village? If the master hadn't sent me to Luoyang a few days ago to give gifts to Old Man Wang, I would have definitely followed the heroes of this operation to exterminate them, so as to avenge Uncle Liu. ”

Sitting at this table are the two young disciples of the Eagle Claw Gate in Guanzhong, the one who spoke is called Wang Hui, and the one who sits opposite him is called Liu Yuanding, both of whom are the leaders of the next generation of the Eagle Claw Gate, and they are already masters in the early stage of the second rate.

Liu Yuanding smiled bitterly, and was about to speak, when a voice interjected, "Brother Wang's words are wrong. ”

The two looked back, but it was a young man of twenty-four or five years old, tall, with bright eyes, thick and powerful hands, obviously a good hand at using fist kung fu.

"It turned out to be Brother Yao, since we met, why don't we have a glass of wine together." The two stood up and hugged their fists, and Wang Hui immediately greeted Xiao Er, adding an extra pair of chopsticks, a pot of wine and a few side dishes.

The person who came is called Yao Xiong, who was born in the Guanzhong Red Boxing Club, has a powerful red fist, and is already a second-rate master in the early stage, and has been friends with the two for many years. He didn't shirk it, sat down, and the three of them had a drink.

"What did Brother Yao mean by what he just said?" Wang Hui changed the subject back.

"Don't hide it from Brother Wang, exterminate the people in the three villages of Qiaoshan, Yao and Brother Liu have already seen it."

"Not bad." Liu Yuan fixed his head.

"Oh? I don't know who the heroes are, and which sects of heroes? If I see it, I must get acquainted with it. ”

"There is only one person who exterminated the three villages of Qiaoshan." Yao Xiong said seriously.

"What!?" Wang Hui stood up suddenly, shocked, "How is it possible?" He turned his head to look at Liu Yuanding.

"There really is only one." Liu Yuanding said affirmatively.

The king looked at the two of them, and after a while came to his senses, sat down sluggishly, and muttered, "How is that possible?" Three years ago, Uncle Liu's family was brutally killed by Heifeng Village, and the owner of the door took seven uncles and more than 20 brothers to kill them, but they suffered heavy losses. According to the master of the door, the big master of the Black Wind Village, his martial arts are already first-class early masters in the rivers and lakes, and the second and third masters are also second-rate peak masters. However, Heifeng Village only ranked second among the three villages in Qiaoshan. How could someone be able to wipe out all the three villages of Qiaoshan by himself? ”

"We wouldn't have believed it before, but we have seen it with our own eyes." Liu Yuanding and Yao Xiong glanced at each other and sighed in unison.

"What was the situation that day, can you two elaborate on it?"

"Okay." A look of memory flashed in Liu Yuanding's eyes.

"Senior Brother Wang also knows that Brother Yao and I are originally fellow villagers, that is, from Fuxian County at the foot of Qiaoshan. Ten days ago, the two of us went back to the village of Fuxian County to worship our ancestors, but I overheard in the village that a young man was inquiring about the way to Heifeng Village yesterday, and the young man was still carrying a long sword. As soon as the two of us heard it, we knew that this young man was probably a fledgling, young and vigorous, and wanted to become famous in one fell swoop and exterminate Heifeng Village. The two of us were afraid that he would lose, so after asking for directions, we rushed to save the young man. Who knows......"

When Liu Yuanding said this, he smiled bitterly, and Yao Xiong said, "The two of us chased all the way, but we chased all the way to the gate of Heifeng Village, and there was no young man, so I knew that the young man had entered Heifeng Village." As soon as the two of us were at the gate of the Black Wind Village, we heard a scream from the village, and we knew that something was wrong and didn't dare to expose it, so we hid. After about half an hour, a group of people poured out from the gate of the village, and when we looked closely, it was a group of women, but they were not in good clothes, most of them were wearing men's clothes, and each of them was carrying a big burden. We were stunned at the time, could it be that the young man really wiped out the Black Wind Village with a single sword? ”

After another moment or so, another young man came out of the village. The young man was about twenty years old, dressed in a green shirt and armed with a long sword, very close to what we had heard in the village. After the young man walked out of the gate, he glanced at the place where we were hiding, and then he took up the light work, and disappeared in two or three clicks. ”

What Yao Xiong didn't say was that the young man's glance at their hiding place was very sharp, like a sharp sword. The moment they were seen, the two of them only felt cold, and they couldn't move in an instant. It was probably because he realized that they were not the fish that slipped through the net, so the young man withdrew his gaze and left.

When the two of us saw that the young man was gone, we cautiously entered the village. It turned out that one hundred and eighty-eight people in Heifeng Village were all killed, and all of them had only one wound on their bodies, all of them were sword wounds, and the location was either the heart, throat or eyebrows, without exception. Based on my years of walking, these wounds all originated from the same sword. ”

"Hiss", there was a sound of inhalation around him, and it was obvious that Wang Hui was not the only one listening.

"Young people in their twenties are so powerful, where is it sacred?" A man at a table next to him muttered.

"We returned to the village and stayed for another three days, but we didn't wait for the young man, but heard the news that the other two villages had been exterminated." Liu Yuanding added, "According to the descriptions of the people who were rescued from the village, the people who exterminated the other two villages and the people who exterminated the Black Wind Village can basically be determined to be the same person." ”

“…… Who the hell is he?! There was silence in the restaurant, and after a moment, Wang Hui said.

"This person should be a master of the Huashan faction." Yao Xiong said in a deep voice.

"What, Huashan faction?" There was a commotion in the restaurant, "Isn't it rumored that the Huashan faction suffered heavy losses in the earth movement a few years ago and almost wiped out the faction?" Is there still such a master? And with such skills, I'm afraid that Mr. Jianyue doesn't have it, right? ”

"That's right." Liu Yuanding said, "According to the woman who was rescued from Heifeng Village, she once heard the big boss of Heifeng Village shouting, 'Who are you sacred?' Why are you embarrassed by my Black Wind Village? The young man replied, 'Huashan Dongfang Xiaohan'. According to another description, the scabbard used by the young man was engraved with the word 'Huashan'. The two of us saw outside the Black Wind Village that the light gong body method used by the young man when he left, which was also from the Huashan faction. There is no doubt that this young man is from the Huashan faction. ”

"The Huashan faction deserves to be the number one faction in Guanzhong that has been inherited for hundreds of years." There was a lot of discussion in the restaurant, "In the past few decades, the Huashan faction has been repeatedly robbed, and it seems to be withered, but it can still cultivate such a master, which is really profound." ”

Yao Xiong, Wang Hui, and Liu Yuanding were particularly touched.

The Red Fist Society and the Eagle Claw Gate were actually originally peripheral forces of the Huashan faction.

Red boxing is a very widely spread boxing in Shaanxi generation, it is a superior foreign boxing, and it can be practiced from the outside to the inside to practice the true qi and go straight to the second rate. Red boxing has a long history, and it has been in rudiments since the time of Zhou and Qin, but it was only in the late Tang and early Song dynasties that the routine was formally formed. Dongfang Xiaohan's family heirloom red fist in the previous life also came from this way, and even the moves are similar to the red fist in this world.

As for the Red Boxing Society, it has a long history, and the sect was established in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, two hundred years earlier than the Huashan faction. It is said that the founding patriarch of the Red Boxing Club was a registered disciple of Chen Tuan's ancestor, and instead of learning Chen Kuan's Taoist art of practicing qi, he learned the red fist that Chen Tuan learned from the woodcutter in the mountains, thus founding the Red Boxing Club. It's a pity that because there is no way to practice qi, although the red fist moves as an external fist are powerful, they are still not as powerful as the inner fist kung fu with deep internal strength. Therefore, the Red Boxing Society has always been only a small force in the third rate of the rivers and lakes, and at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, because of the resistance to the Yuan soldiers, the Red Boxing Society was almost wiped out. After the establishment of the Huashan faction, the last disciple of the Red Fist Society joined the Huashan faction. Huashan Patriarch Hao Datong Nian Red Boxing Club was wiped out by the Yuan soldiers like the Quanzhen Sect, and after he completed his studies, he ordered him to go down the mountain to rebuild the Red Boxing Club. Since then, the Red Boxing Club has become a peripheral force in Huashan, and has been responsible for investigating and monitoring the movements of the martial arts in Guanzhong for the Huashan faction.

As for the Eagle Claw Sect, it is also a very long sect, and the sect was established earlier than the Red Fist Society, and it has existed since the late fifth dynasty. Inside its door, there are not only the top external skills of the eagle claw that are cultivated both inside and outside, but also the unique internal skills that are matched, which are very powerful. Therefore, in the first two hundred years of its establishment, the Eagle Claw Gate was still quite famous in the rivers and lakes, and it was a first-class faction in the rivers and lakes. However, at the time of the battle of Songjin Fuping, due to the leakage of news of the Song army's action, the Jin soldiers were attacked, and since then it has been in a slump. It is said that later, the remnants of the Eagle Claw Gate joined the Ming Sect, and this led to the white-eyed eagle king Yin Tianzheng at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

After the establishment of the Huashan faction, some disciples accidentally found the fragment of the "Eagle Claw Gong" of the Eagle Claw Gate, and after the transformation of the predecessors of the Huashan School, it became one of the nine gongs of Huashan, "Eagle Snake Life and Death". Later, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, due to the imperial court's wanton suppression of martial arts, in order to ensure that the inheritance of Huashan continued, some of the disciples of Huashan were ordered to go down the mountain to establish a faction in Guanzhong. At that time, "Eagle and Snake Life and Death" had been lost, and "Eagle Claw Gong" was still intact. In order to hide people's eyes, the newly built sect was named Eagle Claw Gate. After Ming Xuanzong ascended the throne, the Huashan crisis was lifted and it became a first-class faction in the rivers and lakes again, and the Eagle Claw Gate secretly became a peripheral force in Huashan, mainly responsible for collecting excellent disciples for the Huashan faction in Shaanxi.

However, since the Hongzhi period, the Huashan faction has experienced many catastrophes, especially after the earthquake a few years ago, Huashan's strength has fallen to the lowest point in history, so the peripheral forces of Huashan have been a little restless, intending to break away from the control of the Huashan faction. This situation, in fact, has already arisen since the battle of the qi sword, but Huashan's strength has been constantly weakening, and he is no longer able to change the situation, so he can only acquiesce to the gradual independence of the peripheral forces. In the original book, a considerable part of the reason why Huashan was weakened was because the peripheral forces were out of Huashan's control.

The news on the rivers and lakes has always spread rapidly, and soon, the news of Dongfang Xiaohan, a master of the Huashan faction, exterminating the three villages of Qiaoshan has spread all over the martial arts. With the Red Fist Club and the head of the Eagle Claw Sect sending a letter to Yue Buqun, the head of Huashan, confirming that the person who exterminated the three villages of Qiaoshan was Yue Buqun's junior brother Dongfang Xiaohan, the Huashan faction became famous again, and Dongfang Xiaohan became famous overnight. At this time, the news that Qinling Qizhai was exterminated by Dongfang Xiaohan alone came to make Dongfang Xiaohan's reputation even louder.

After hearing the news, the heads of other major factions in the rivers and lakes all thought in their hearts: Is the Huashan faction going to flourish again? Otherwise, why did a disciple who was less than 20 years old exterminate all the three villages of Qiaoshan and the seven villages of Qinling that had ravaged Shaanxi for ten years unscathed by his own strength? The heads of the Red Fist Club and the Eagle Claw Gate are also thinking in their hearts, and the plan to break away from Huashan is probably going to be replanned.

In addition to the head of the Red Fist Club and the Eagle Claw Gate, there were two other people who reacted strongly.

A flying pigeon biography was transmitted to Shengguan Peak in Songshan Taimur Mountain, and the disciples of the Songshan faction sent the flying pigeon biography to the head of the Songshan faction and the leader of the Wuyue Alliance, Zuo Lengchan.

"Huashan Dongfang Xiaohan?" After Zuo Lengchan read the letter, his face was gloomy, "Where did Yue Buqun recruit such a master?" How could such a master be recruited by Huashan? Is there anything he needs from Huashan? Now this one, do you want to deter the crowd? Hum! ”

Ding Mian, one of the thirteen Taibao of Songshan, the junior disciple standing at the bottom left of Zuo Lengchan, took the letter and read it, and said with some surprise: "This Dongfang Xiaohan actually joined Huashan less than a year ago?" How come such a master has never been heard of before? According to Senior Brother Gao, Ma Heng, the big master of Hengshanzhai, is already a first-class mid-stage strength, and the second and third masters are already first-class early masters. If the three of them are together, even the senior brother in charge will find it tricky, not to mention that they have more than 200 minions who have cultivated kung fu from other families. But he was actually exterminated by Dongfang Xiaohan alone, and Dongfang Xiaohan's martial arts were too ...... How could such a master succumb to Yue Buqun? "With the power of the Songshan faction, of course, I can find out more news that the low-level people in the rivers and lakes don't know, and I know that Dongfang Xiaohan has only joined the Huashan faction for less than a year.

Zuo Lengchan was worried: This Dongfang Xiaohan, could it be another Lin Yuantu or Dongfang Undefeated? It seems that some plans are going to be accelerated.

Zuo Lengchan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he ordered: "Senior brother, you send someone down and secretly preach it, saying that this Dongfang Xiaohan is the undefeated son of Dongfang, so his martial arts are so strong, and he joined the Huashan faction in order to break into my Wuyue Sword Sect in order to destroy it, and it must be spread all over the rivers and lakes as soon as possible." Zuo Lengchan just casually spread the rumors, but he didn't know that he was actually saying it.

"Yes, senior brother." Ding Mian retreated.

At the same time, in the Songfeng Temple of Qingcheng Mountain, Yu Canghai, the head of the Qingcheng faction, had a gloomy face.

"Master Bing, Sanzhai has indeed been exterminated by that Dongfang Xiaohan, Senior Brother Ji is afraid that ......" Hong Renxiong in front of him said cautiously.

"Hmph, Huashan faction, Dongfang Xiaohan!" Yu Canghai snorted coldly, and the anger in his voice made the Qingcheng disciples in the room shiver.

In recent years, the Huashan faction has been weak, and although the Qingcheng faction has a close friendship with the ancestors of the Huashan faction, it also has a different mind in the face of the land of Shaanxi occupied by the Huashan faction. Three years ago, the Songshan faction secretly sent people to negotiate, and the two factions privately agreed to divide the territory of the Huashan faction together, with southern Shaanxi and Fengxiang Mansion belonging to the Qingcheng faction, and Yan'an Mansion and the rest of Guanzhong belonging to the Songshan faction. Therefore, Yu Canghai sent people to subdue and support three cottages in the Qinling Mountains, and infiltrated Guanzhong to interview the reaction of the Huashan faction. His disciples Shen Renjun and Ji Rentong were the liaison between the Qingcheng faction and Sanzhai. Now that the three cottages have been wiped out by Dongfang Xiaohan, Shen and Ji have also died there, and several years of hard work and countless energy and financial resources have been ruined, how can Yu Canghai not be angry.

However, despite his annoyance, Yu Canghai had not lost his composure. He knew that although there were no masters in the three cottages he controlled, the strongest of the cottages was only a second-rate late-stage master. But among the remaining four villages, there are two cottage masters who are second-rate peaks, and the strongest one of the cottages is already in the first-class early stage, and the second and third masters are also second-rate in the late stage. With such strength, even if it is oneself, it is difficult to exterminate it by oneself. But now he has been exterminated by a kid of less than twenty from the Huashan faction, but it can be seen that the strength of that person is probably already above himself, plus Ning Zhongze, who is no less than himself, and Yue Buqun, who is definitely stronger than himself, even if the next generation of disciples are all not famous, the strength of the Huashan faction is enough to make the Qingcheng faction jealous.

After thinking about it, Yu Canghai decided to stop for the time being. Who knows if the Huashan faction has already sensed the intention of the Qingcheng faction to infiltrate Shaanxi, and even knows the private agreement between the Qingcheng faction and the Songshan faction, so this operation took place. If this is the case, if the Qingcheng faction acts rashly, I am afraid that it will attract a thunderous blow from the Huashan faction.

Therefore, Yu Canghai still plans to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Anyway, judging from the calculation of the Songshan faction against the Huashan faction, there has been a big problem within the Wuyue Sword Sect, as long as you wait and see what happens, you may not have the opportunity to enter Shaanxi again in the future.

As a result, Dongfang Xiaohan's big killing, although it caused some fluctuations in the rivers and lakes, quickly subsided. It's just that beneath the surface of the lake, countless undercurrents have begun to fluctuate.
