A few people gossiped a little, Zhang Fan drank two meat wine, although the person was not drunk, but there were more words, Xie Yu went to get wine, Zhang Fan opened his mouth again.

Zhang Fan said: "There are some things that you may not understand, when a group of senior brothers discussed the matter of establishing the head of the disciple, Zhang Guantao said that you are a good and beautiful material, then Xie Yi was bent on praising Wang Zixing, and I also said a few more words, several people overpowered Xie Yi together, and then set up you, so Xie Yi has always disliked you, you don't have to be too sad, as for the matter of Hengshan, you don't have to care, your Uncle Luo is also a last resort." ”

Zhang Fan said again: "As for Shui Mingfu, if you want to put it down, you have to let it go, even if you are reluctant, what can you do, this is how things are, this is the way." That's what it looks like......"

Seeing Zhang Fan, who had some alcohol, Wu Chuanyu didn't dare to talk back, and responded with a chatter in his mouth, Xie Yu pulled Zhang Fan a few more times, knowing that he had said too much, Zhang Fan also shut up.

Xie Yu wanted to see how Wu Chuanyu's swordsmanship progressed, and he was worried that Zhang Fan would be hurt by his feelings, so he didn't ask, after a few people had eaten, Zhang Fan and Wu Chuanyu wanted to help Xie Yu clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Xie Yu just didn't agree, Zhang Fan and Wu Chuanyu two, one regarded men and women as equal, and the other was born poor since childhood, and he had to work when he urinated, so he naturally didn't know the difference in his actions in the eyes of others.

Zhang Fan said: "Your Uncle Shi Zhi's Shi Family Dart Bureau is going to deliver the goods to Shandong, and you just happen to be on the way, by the way, to protect this dart, Shi Zhi is also in Wuchang City, you will go tomorrow, I will not see him." ”

It turns out that over the years, the relationship between Shi Zhi and Zhang Fan has not been very good, Shi Zhi thought that Zhang Fan had harmed Bashan's disciples, Zhang Fan let Shi Zhi at the beginning, but after a long time, the clay man also had anger, and then the two did not see each other much, and Wu Chuanyu also knew these things.

Wu Chuanyu responded, Zhang Fan asked Wu Chuanyu to go down to rest, saw Wu Chuanyu enter the room and meditated by himself, Zhang Fan walked out of the courtyard door, Xie Yu was not at ease, and wanted to come out, Zhang Fan held Xie Yuxiang's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, it's Luo Baizhi who is here, it is estimated that he doesn't want to see Chuanyu, I will go out to see him." Xie Yu smiled and found a robe for Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan wore it, touched it, and found that it was exactly the same as Hu Shiling and himself before, frowned slightly, and didn't want Xie Yu to see it, so he said: "Senior sister rest early, I'll go and go back, you don't have to get up when you come back, you know?" Xie Yu was sweet in his heart, and responded in a low voice, today's senior brother, considerate and lovely, sweet to people's hearts, he is like a dream, for fear that this dream will wake up.

Zhang Fan went out of the door, turned a few corners, the children ran past Zhang Fan with a smile, holding fireworks in their hands, and made a "oh oh" cry in their mouths, very cheerful, the sky also made half of the lights on, and from time to time there were wishing lights flying into the sky, Zhang Fan walked through the brightly lit place, and a figure fell from behind, it was Luo Baizhi.

Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Martial arts have improved again, it's really good." ”

Luo Baizhi patted the ashes on his body and said, "How is Senior Brother's martial arts now?"

Zhang Fan didn't answer, Luo Baizhi only thought that Zhang Fan was unhappy in his heart, and didn't ask anymore, and said: "There is no doubt that Fang Huiqing over there in Hengshan is the head, and the nuns of the Jingming and Jingyue classes are only afraid that they will have a hard time in the future." But we don't need to worry about it, do you know about Zhang Guantao, senior brother? I can't imagine that he died at the hands of a subordinate person, so he can find an opportunity to kill Duan Deyi. ”

At this time, a group of children were playing with fireworks at the intersection and ran over to this side, the fireworks illuminated the faces of the two, Zhang Fan looked at it with interest for a long time, and said: " Hu Yida's junior brother is ambitious, but he didn't get to the point of joking with Zhang Guantao's life, Hu Yida didn't mean it, and Zhang Guantao didn't endanger him to the position of the head, so Zhang Guantao was not harmed by him, he did let Duan Deyi kill him, as for the hate, let Cheng Liting do it, he is Zhang Guantao's only disciple, you remember to take care of him in the future. ”

Luo Baizhi looked back and thought about it: "This is natural, I didn't expect Zhang Guantao to die in the hands of this villain, and the number of Bashan disciples in our generation is one less, which is extremely harmful to the strength of our Bashan faction." What worries me the most is Zhang Chonghui's goods, he and Hu Yida are not in harmony, I am afraid that he will go down the mountain, as soon as he leaves, our generation, I am afraid that there will be one less master. ”

Zhang Fan said: "It depends on how many masters we can create in the next generation." ”

Luo Baizhi suddenly said with indignation on his face: "Wu Chuanyu, this kid, is too unsuccessful, this time in the Hengshan faction, he has greatly lost the face of our Bashan faction, and let people hold the handle, if the next generation is like this, our Bashan faction will have no hope." ”

Zhang Fan said: "Two years ago, Hu Yida found me, and he asked me to do something and asked me to fake my death. “

Luo Baizhi exclaimed, "What does he mean?"

Zhang Fan said: "Although the Bashan faction has become famous in recent years, everyone knows black and white, but compared with Shaolin Wudang, although there are many masters of the Bashan faction, but the base number of disciples is not comparable to the two factions, do you go to Hebei and Henan, where the people who practice martial arts, most of them are from the Shaolin sect, regardless of the monks and laymen, turn a few corners, can be related to Shaolin, Shaolin under an order, can be Hebei Henan and north of the martial arts hundreds of thousands of people who practice martial arts, this point, it is really terrible, we can not compare with Shaolin. ”

Luo Baizhi nodded yes, Zhang Fan said again: "What about Wudang, there are countless masters, there are a large number of Qing characters, Tsinghua, Halal, and Qinghui are not under you, do you say yes, there are hundreds of Qing characters in Wudang, all of them are personal disciples, if it weren't for the fact that there are too many mountains inside Wudang, this force is scared to death, and the court recognizes it, I heard that in the imperial city, the guards of the prison guards are all disciples of the Wudang faction, do you say that the Bashan faction is not comparable?"

Luo Baizhi also nodded yes.

Zhang Fan said: "So Hu Yida thought of a way, also in order to cultivate obscurity, in addition to some elite brothers who are known to the rivers and lakes, put away some of the bones with roots, in case they die under the dark arrow before they grow up, this is also to protect those disciples who have roots and bones, and create more masters in the next generation, so I want to teach them quietly." ”

Luo Baizhi said: "Is this possible? We all have our own opportunities in this generation, how can we ensure that they all have achieved something, this is the way to accompany the killer, not the way to accompany the disciple." ”

Zhang Fan said: " Hu Yida asked me to fake my death, in order to be able to train the disciples, but I didn't agree, because I didn't agree with his strategy at all, I don't object to his desire to be strong in the sect, but I think the fundamental method is still in the accumulation, Shaolin Wudang has today's prestige, all in the accumulation of hundreds of years, they are teachers and apprentices, disciples and grandchildren, one generation after another, only today's results, Hu Yida is asking for a hundred years of work, that can be completed in decades, the fundamental method, but also in our generation to accept more disciples, I received a few, Xiaoqian, Zhao Kuan'er is all with good qualifications, and Hu Yida has been pulled into the more than 30 people. ”

Luo Baizhi said: "Are you saying that these disciples are all taught by Hu Yida?"

Zhang Fan said: "He also has the intention of consolidating his position as the head of the house." ”

Luo Baizhi said: "Zhang Chonghui is only afraid that there is no hope." ”

Zhang Fan said: "I didn't agree to Hu Yida's plan, so I didn't care about these things anymore." It's just that he counted both of my disciples into it, and sooner or later I will have to get it back, and my disciples have my teachings. Teach me what I want to be. It turned out that Hu Yida counted Zhao Kuan'er and Xiaoyan into it.

Luo Baizhi said: "Senior brother, I have always wanted to ask, among the disciples of our generation, what is the ranking of achievements in martial arts?

Zhang Fan looked at the fireworks in the Tianshan Mountains, but the children did not return at night, not because they couldn't help the night, but the army inevitably had to travel at night, so they could also pass at night, Zhang Fan said: "Then I said, in terms of martial arts, Hu Yida is almost there, and he has reached the realm I once had." It's just that my heart is too heavy, I was obsessed with morality at that time, he was attached to the sect, and his martial arts are the highest achievement among you at present. ”

Luo Baizhi said: "What about the others? What about Zhang Guantao, Xue Chuanshi, Xie Yi, Yi Hui, and Liang Fang?"

Zhang Fan said: "Don't look at Zhang Guantao silently, in fact, he is never under you, your martial arts cultivation is already above Xie Yi, Xie Yi usually likes to engage in tricks to hide his strength, in fact, Zhang Guantao is the person who loves to hide his strength the most, he has been silent, but he has been silent all his life, it depends on whether he stands up and fights." ”

After a pause, Zhang Fan continued: "As for Zhang Chonghui, he wants to be the first person in the martial arts of the Bashan School, but in fact, he doesn't even accept me, and he is also an ambitious person. ”

Luo Baizhi said: "You helped him back then? Even if he doesn't accept you, he has to thank you." ”

Zhang Fan said: "I can't deserve it, he is probably a little inferior to Hu Yida, but I'm afraid that he is still above others." One day, I quietly saw Zhang Chonghui practicing swords, and I found that while he was practicing swords, he shouted in his mouth, Zhang Fan, you are not my opponent. At that time, I knew that Zhang Chonghui was not convinced by anyone in his heart, his desire to be the number one master in the world had already overwhelmed everything, he did not compete with Hu Yida, do you think he was afraid?"

Luo Baizhi said: "I don't think he says a word all day long, doesn't he?"

Zhang Fan said: "I'm afraid it's not, Zhang Chonghui is talking about not making a sound, a blockbuster, I know that he has been planning to create a gang by himself to compete for the water transportation of the Yangtze River, he once said wildly, his gang should be above the Northern Iron Fist Club." ”

Luo Baizhi gasped and said: "It's really a big breath, the Iron Fist Club is known as the first gang in the north, monopolizing the fur and pig iron trade with northern Mongolia, and the annual income, not to mention millions, Wan Guiliu This person is a monk who escaped from the Shaolin Temple, it seems to be a disciple of the Zhengming monk, the martial arts are amazing, and it is even more rare that this person has a very wide wrist, and he has to sell his account in both black and white, Qi Zhuoyi of the two lakes calls himself a junior in front of him, Zhang Chonghui has such ambitions." ”

Zhang Fan said: "If Zhang Chonghui is not clumsy, you fight with him, and you are not his opponent." ”

Luo Baizhi was silent and said, "What the hell is he?" ”

Zhang Fan said silently: "He was born poor, he was born as a slave, and he was both inferior and arrogant in his heart. I was shocked by the world, not only by the world, but also by the sky, I was smart and wanted to be angry for him, but in his opinion at the time, it was just me soliciting him. It is convenient to compete with Hu Yida. ”

Luo Baizhi said: "What about the others? What about Xie Yi?"

Zhang Fan sighed: "This guy can only play smart, swordsmanship and martial arts are only the worst one in our generation, worse than several female disciples, don't talk about Liang Fang, don't talk about Senior Sister Xie Yu, even if it's Qi Yuanyuan, Chu Xiang'er, these female disciples, Xie Yi can't beat them, it's just that he thinks he can beat them." ”

Zhang Fan said: "As for Xue Chuanshi and Yi Hui, the two of them are a little worse than you, not much worse, the two of them, Xue Sword is vicious, Yi Sword is fierce, both of them are first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, and they are not under Xie Yi."

Luo Baizhi said: "How about you talk about the female disciples?"

Zhang Fan said: "Liang Fang is the first, her martial arts cultivation is between her and you, as for Senior Sister Qi Yuanyuan, I rarely see her make a move, but I have seen it once." “

Luo Baizhi said: "That time?"

Zhang Fan said: "That time, when I went down the mountain, several demon sect demons came to fight her idea, at that time I was a hundred steps away from her, he killed five first-class Five Flower Sect disciples, I flew to him from a hundred steps, two breaths, those five demon demons, the sword wounds on their bodies, added up to more than three hundred, of course, if I didn't come out in front of her, she was afraid that there would be more swords, and when she saw me, she would take away her sword." “

Luo Baizhi said: "With my efforts, I may be able to do it." ”

Zhang Fan said: "The two of you have different sword paths. Her sword is light and agile, so she is faster, and she always likes to pretend to be weak in front of her brothers, maybe because she is from a beautiful background. A girl's mind is always hard to guess. ”

Luo Baizhi sighed: "That's because she likes you." ”

Zhang Fan said again: "As for the rest, Chu Xiang'er and swordsmanship are all at a glance, since the beast Bufan led people to attack Bashan, her swordsmanship has grown from scratch, contrary to Qi Yuanyuan, she is a daughter's family, and swordsmanship has also gone all the way, that time a pigeon flew in front of all the brothers and sisters, do you remember?"

Luo Baizhi said: "Since the time when the beast Bufan attacked the sect, she has become nervous, that time a pigeon flew by the backyard, it was a pigeon raised by Yan Fang Yue, she was nervous when she saw it, and when she stretched out her hand, she split the pigeon into ashes with a sword, and not even a single hair fell. insisted that there was a spy. ”

Zhang Fan said: "Her swordsmanship, killing one with a sword, at what level, I can't say, in short, how many people she has to kill to know, a girl, practicing swordsmanship so nervously, thinking about killing all day long." ”

Luo Baizhi said: "What about Xie Yu, except for the good cooking and swordsmanship, I haven't seen her hold a sword much." ”

Zhang Fan said: "I'm anxious, her swordsmanship is good, but she just won't kill, I looked at her swordsmanship, no matter what move, she only wants to hurt people, not save people, even if she has good swordsmanship cultivation, I don't worry about her." Her temperament has entered the rivers and lakes, but she is afraid that people will deceive herself, and she doesn't know. ”

Luo Baizhi said: "This is the truth, she is verbose, and she is not suitable for mixing in the rivers and lakes." ”

At this time, the fireworks in the sky fell, and Zhang Fan said, "Do you want to ask me about your own martial arts cultivation?"

Luo Baizhi said: "You are telling the truth?"

Zhang Fan suddenly said to the night sky: "That friend who is hiding in the sky, come down." It's so cold in the sky that it's going to freeze. ”

With a coquettish laugh, a red shadow fell from the night sky, and a beautiful woman slowly emerged from the darkness, the figure was wonderful, like a girl of twenty, and like a woman of thirty, the green silk fluttered behind, and when it fell, the dust on the ground seemed to hide from her, and they all got out of the way. This woman only wore a palace dress on a April day, and her eyes were wandering, as if Chang'e had come down to earth.
