Chapter Fifty-Six: Hitting the Target
This somewhat arrogant remark made the old Taoist's eyes light up, but he didn't agree lightly.
"Even though I have said that, I still have to speak with facts. I've seen a lot of people like you, but they all collapsed in the end, self-confidence is not equal to strength, I still hope to see more things that can convince me! ”
After saying this, the old Taoist priest picked up the tea and prepared to take a sip, pretending to be profound. In fact, in his heart, he has vaguely agreed with Zhang Yang, of course, the main reason is not that Zhang Yang's domineering remarks made him bow down when his tiger body was shocked, but Zhuge Zheng's recommendation.
Zhuge is what kind of person I am, I'm afraid there are few people in the world who know better than him. And when the old Taoist priest was young, he once traveled the rivers and lakes with Zhuge Zheng, and he was one of the few friends who could change his name with Zhuge Zheng! It is precisely because of such a relationship that the old Taoist priest believes that Zhuge Zheng and I will not casually recommend people to come. Because the brand that Zhang Yang handed over to him has been in Zhuge Zheng's hands for six years!
In the past six years, no one has recommended anyone, and I am afraid that anyone will think that Zhuge Zheng and I have looked at this matter in the back of my mind, or because I am afraid of trouble, I simply forget it selectively, but the old Taoist priest has always believed in Zhuge Zheng. I don't recommend people to come over, it's naturally because Zhuge Zheng and I know very well what his requirements are, and the other party can't meet this standard, so naturally he won't send people over casually.
In the past six years, the two have not met once, but the last time they met was half a year ago. And it was also at that time that the old Taoist priest suddenly changed dramatically. All of his martial arts have been abolished!
Abolishing people's martial arts is no less than taking people's wives and daughters. The revenge of killing his father, but for some reason, the old Taoist priest did not have the slightest intention of asking Zhuge Zheng for help. And the old Taoist priest has long known that Zhuge Zheng and I have been secretly ordered to establish a Shenhou Mansion to secretly investigate cases large and small across the country, as long as he is willing to report it, Zhuge Zheng and I will definitely not sit idly by.
However, he didn't, I don't know what kind of pride and self-confidence he had, but the old Taoist priest didn't choose to ask for help. Instead, he endured it silently, even if a group of thugs came to the door every day to collect protection money, he still didn't say anything.
Rather forbear, than beg!
The poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent!
It can also be seen from this that the old Taoist's heart has endured to a terrible extent, and until today, after seeing the black sign again, the old Taoist priest immediately realized Zhang Yang's other identity. That is a candidate disciple who has gone through Zhuge Zheng's preliminary assessment and then recommended to him.
In the past six years, Zhuge Zheng only recommended such a person to come, and the old Taoist priest of course attaches great importance to it. In fact, he found out as soon as Zhang Yang and Chasing Life arrived outside the temple, and then the quarrel with the inverted triangular eyes and a group of idlers was actually just a scene deliberately created by the old Taoist priest. Of course, the actors are real. It is also true that the protection fee is collected, and the old Taoist priest just deliberately provoked the other party. I want to see what Zhang Yang will do.
Of course, at that time, the old Taoist priest didn't know that Zhang Yang was recommended by Zhuge Zheng. It is purely a habitual investigation. If he had known Zhang Yang's identity in advance, I am afraid that the old Taoist priest might have arranged a more popular scene, and maybe he would have set fire to the house or something. And Zhang Yang's previous appearance, in the eyes of the old Taoist, was barely qualified, and it was not excellent, anyway, the results of this investigation were just the subjective comments of the old Taoist priest himself.
In addition, with Zhuge Zheng's recommendation, in fact, Zhang Yang was already an alternative disciple on the way here, and the reason why he had to add the word alternative was naturally because there was no follow-up formal assessment of Guò. The old Taoist priest had to nod his head and agree. And the reason why the old Taoist priest scared Zhang Yang like this was naturally to see how Zhang Yang reacted next.
The inspection does have to be investigated, and no master will be so irresponsible, but the way and standard of this inspection is only known by the master himself, and if you are pleasing to the eye, even if you are pleasing to the eye, if you are not pleasing to the eye, it will be useless if you are working hard.
It's just that the old Taoist priest just picked up the teacup, and before he could drink the tea that the Taoist ran with inferior tea leaves to moisten his throat, he saw Zhang Yang stand up and said with confidence.
"You say you speak with facts, right? Well, I can prove to you that I have enough capital and confidence to keep you satisfied! ”
And Zhang Yang's next action made the old Taoist squirt out a mouthful of tea.
Zhang Yang touched the small bag he was carrying, and took out a small bamboo tube, the old Taoist priest saw at a glance that it was used to store small things, and immediately looked at Zhang Yang's actions with some curiosity.
I saw Zhang Yang open the bamboo tube, but what was exposed inside was a bright slender steel needle, which was different from ordinary sewing needles, but had thorns on both sides, and the spikes at both ends flashed with a sharp cold light.
"The craft is good, but what the hell is this kid trying to do?"
The old Taoist priest became more and more suspicious, and then saw Zhang Yang casually took out a few needles, and then looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "Daoist, please take a good look." This secret weapon kung fu was just given to me by Mr. Zhuge the day before yesterday, and the time of the past two days has been a little successful, but because there is no internal strength, please don't laugh at the seniors. ”
Zhang Yang's words made the old Taoist even more curious, especially the word "two days" in the words, which made the old guy a little curious. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: "If this kid wants to show his hand, could it be a secret weapon kung fu?" But according to him, he only practiced for two days, and the day he studied was only three days. ”
Anyway, he has also practiced martial arts, and the old Taoist priest's vision is naturally broader than that of Zhang Yang, and he is also proficient in secret weapons or something. After all, who doesn't know the kung fu of one or two hidden weapons?
It's just that there is such a thing as a hidden weapon, whether it is good or bad, it is not good, and the advantage is naturally that it is used for sneak attacks, and it is very convenient to take the dark route. And one of the two bad points, naturally, is that it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance with hidden weapons, and I have never seen a few masters who are famous by using hidden weapons, and they are often all kung fu. Another point is that the training time of the hidden weapon is relatively long, and there is no long-term number of exercises, let alone hitting people with the hidden weapon, and even the hit can't hit, or the force of the hit is too small, and there is no way to achieve the effect of hurting people.
The old Taoist priest also used a hidden weapon, and he didn't spend much effort when he studied, not to mention that he had never learned martial arts, and he didn't even have internal strength, and he actually claimed that he had mastered the firing skills of the hidden weapon in two days, which was simply rhetoric.
What Zhang Yang said, in the eyes of the old Taoist priest, is unlikely to happen, most of the ingredients of Zhang Yang's boasting account for the majority, because he is already a little unhappy in his heart, and Zhang Yang is branded with a high-minded and arrogant label, like to blow big words, if it weren't for Zhang Yang is Zhuge Zheng I recommended it, the old Taoist priest may have driven people away.
"There is no hair on the mouth, the work is not firm, the young man is still too anxious, and the table is not such a table. Forget it, let's see how the situation is first, since it was recommended by Zhuge Zheng, maybe there is really a little bit of effort. ”
The old Taoist priest held this idea of watching the play, and then stared at Zhang Yang with some playfulness, wanting to see how Zhang Yang would perform.
Zhang Yang touched the steel needles, then looked at them in private, ran to the yard and grabbed a handful of small stones back, the stone in his left hand, the steel needle in his right hand, and signaled to the old man that he was going to start, and with a shake of his left hand, several small stones were thrown into the air, and after reaching a certain height, gravity played a role and began to fall.
The old Taoist priest was already a little confused when he saw this, and he didn't understand what Zhang Yang wanted to do, and it was also at this time that Zhang Yang raised his right hand, and several cold lights roared out, and then collided with the falling stones, and a burst of sparks appeared, and then they fell to the ground!
The time for the pebbles to hit the ground was very fast, and because it was in the house, it was impossible to throw the stones as high as an open area like the yard, which doomed the attack to be very short. In Zhang Yang's hand, four steel needles flew out almost at the same time, each hitting a small stone.
Such an achievement is not worth mentioning in front of any master who is proficient in hidden weapons, but the person who fired the steel needle was Zhang Yang, who had only been learning secret weapons for three days, a rookie who didn't even know internal skills, so accurate and powerful was enough to make people jaw-dropping, and the old Taoist priest directly had a ghost expression, looked at Zhang Yang and said in a trembling voice:
"You, you, you ......"
"Don't worry, drink saliva smoothly, I won't run away like this anyway."
You have been for a long time, and the old Taoist priest didn't say the following words, but fortunately, Zhang Yang was worried that he would be out of breath, so he hung up directly in one breath, and directly and kindly poured him a cheap cup of tea and handed it over.
After a mouthful of water, the old Taoist priest's gaze when he looked at Zhang Yang changed from the original scrutiny to a very eager gaze, and the original intention of inspecting Zhang Yang had disappeared without a trace.
With such results, it's also a fart!
The old Taoist priest has a wide range of experience, so he can see the difficulty of the move just now, and if he is a beginner of other hidden weapons, I am afraid that the steel needle thrown out with one hand does not know how to fly into that corner, and the collision is also the product of probability. And Zhang Yanglu's hand made the old Taoist priest see that Zhang Yang already had a lot of experience!
What are the two major requirements for using hidden weapons, one is the accurate head, and the other is lethality, in which the lethality can rely on the injection of internal force to achieve the effect, but if the head is accurate, it is necessary for the user of the hidden weapon to study and practice hard, and no one can be lazy with this kind of water grinding work.
Looking at the eager gaze of the old Taoist, Zhang Yang also had a hint of happiness in his heart. Obviously, he borrowed from the way he shot targets in the barracks, and he did succeed in refreshing the old Taoist's view of himself. (To be continued......)
