Chapter 329: Breaking the Game (7)
Seeing that Huang Meiseng and Duan Yanqing used bluestone as a chessboard, using finger power instead of axes and chisels, competing with internal strength and fighting wits and courage at the same time, Li Shuchong felt a lot of emotion, thought about it, and sighed in his heart: Zhiruo lost to Duan Yanqing is actually not wronged. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He remembered that someone with good deeds once ranked the masters in Jin Yong's martial arts world according to the level of martial arts.
In this list, Zhou Zhiruo, together with Yu Lianzhou, Yin Tianzheng, Xie Xun, Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, Kong Zhi, Dai Qisi, Exterminator Shitai, Wei Yixiao, Kong Wen, Song Yuanqiao and others who are also from the world of "Yitian", were evaluated as the intermediate level of "super first-class masters", and Qiu Qianqi in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the first master of the Shaolin Temple Damo Academy in "Tianlong Babu", Lin Pingzhi who practiced the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Master Chengguan, the first disciple of the Shaolin Temple Praruo Hall who is obsessed with martial arts in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", Gui Zhong and Gui Erniang and others in "Blue Blood Sword" are neck and neck.
Some people may think that "super-first-class masters" are awesome enough, but they are very wrong! The so-called "super-first-class masters" are still a mountain high, and behind the "super-first-class masters" there are "pseudo-super-top masters," "super-top masters," "super-top masters," and so on. Each level, including the "Super Masters", can be divided into three sub-levels: Strong, Intermediate, and Weak. A big level higher than the "super first-class master" is the "pseudo-top master". Duan Yanqing belongs to the weak level of the "pseudo-top master", which is two small levels higher than Zhou Zhiruo of the intermediate level of the "super first-class master", and theoretically analyzed, he can easily defeat Zhou Zhiruo. It seems that from the early years of the Great Song Dynasty to the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, many martial arts cheats must have been lost and attenuated in the inheritance of masters and apprentices, and many peerless magic skills will gradually decline.
And if Zhou Zhi can cross two small levels, and Duan Yanqing, who is at the weak level of the "pseudo-top master", will not fall behind in the head-to-head competition, she still relies on Li Shuchong to cultivate with her on weekdays, and constantly input the essence of the "power of the dantian" to assist her in accelerating her cultivation.
Thinking of the masters in "Tianlong Babu", Li Shuchong suddenly felt that time was pressing, as if he was in an invisible predicament of "being beaten if he fell behind"! That's right, even if Li Shuchong himself could still protect himself by relying on the "power of life and soul" and "the power of dantian", if he wanted the people around him to gain a firm foothold in the world of "Tianlong Babu", he still needed to practice diligently, and he had to find ways to achieve a qualitative leap.
In terms of martial arts alone, Li Shuchong is not much higher than Zhou Zhiruo, almost between the best. And "Tianlong Babu" will appear one after another, as well as the "pseudo-top master" strong level of Master Kurong, five levels higher than Zhou Zhiruo; the "top master" weak level You Tanzhi and Shaolin Temple Xuanci abbot, six levels higher than Zhou Zhiruo; the "top master" intermediate level of Wu Yazi, seven levels higher than Zhou Zhiruo, and even more powerful "super masters", far higher than Li Shuchong and Zhou Zhiruo...... A big cut!
How to break this dilemma? The only way to do this is to strive for self-improvement!
......
......
Tuhua Hegen, Sima Fanhua, and Sikong Ba Tianshi of the Dali Guosan Company led 30 subordinates with martial arts, brought wood, shovels, Kong Ming lanterns and other things, and entered the forest behind the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, selected the terrain, and excavated tunnels. Thirty-three people dug all night, and a tunnel of dozens of zhang has been opened. The next day, I dug for half a day, and by the afternoon, it was not far from the stone house. Hua Hegen's subordinates stepped back to pick up the soil, and three people dug it alone. The three of them knew that Prince Yanqing was good at martial arts, and when digging the soil, they gently dropped the shovel, not daring to make the slightest sound, so the process was much slower.
They didn't know that the prince of Yanqing was exhausted at this time, competing with the Huangmei monk in both chess skills and internal strength, and they could no longer notice the sound of the underground.
When he dug up the Shen pai, he was already under the stone chamber where Duan Yu was imprisoned. This place may be less than a zhang away from where the Prince of Yanqing sits, and you must be more careful not to make the slightest noise. Hua Hegen put down the shovel and grabbed the soil with his ten fingers, and the "Tiger Claw Gong" made the general come out, and the ten fingers were like two iron claws, grabbing the soil one by one. Fan Hua and Ba Tianshi passed behind, carrying out the dirt he had caught. At this time, the wahegun was no longer digging forward, but from the bottom up. The project is about to be completed, whether Duan Yu can be rescued or not, it will be clear in a blink of an eye, and the three of them can't help but feel their hearts beat faster.
This kind of bottom-up digging is far less labor, as soon as the soil is loosened, it falls on its own, and after Hua Hegen stands up straight, his shot is even more neat, he digs for a while and then stops and listens, paying attention to the sound above his head. When digging two incense sticks like this, it is estimated that it is no more than a foot from the ground, Hua Hegen moved more slowly, gently brushed away the soil, and finally touched a flat wooden plank, and his heart was happy: "The floor of the stone house is laid underneath." It's easier to do things. ”
He pressed his fingers and slowly drew a two-foot square under the floor, and as soon as the hand holding the board loosened, the plank that had been cut into squares fell down, revealing a hole that could accommodate one person in and out. Wahgen raised his shovel and swung it around the entrance of the cave to prevent a surprise attack, and suddenly heard an "ah", and a woman's voice screamed in exclamation.
Hua Hegen said in a low voice: "Don't call Miss Mu, it's a friend, I'm here to save you." He jumped out of the hole.
Duan Yanqing, Huang Meiseng and others focused on the chess game, without distractions, and could not reach the empty state of "the wall has ears". Li Shuchong, however, because he didn't seem to understand Go, wandered out of the world, but instead heard the woman's scream, he hurriedly used the "condensed power", crossed over in one step, and appeared beside her.
When Hua Hegen looked at it, this shock was not small. But when I saw that the windows were bright and clean, and the cupboards and shelves were full of bottles and cans, a young girl shrank in a corner with a frightened face. Suddenly, a handsome young man appeared beside her out of thin air, and it was Duan Yu's "classmate friend" Li Shuchong. Hua Hegen had seen him from afar in the Zhennan Palace, and immediately knew that he had miscalculated and dug the wrong place. The location of the stone house was all up to Emperor Baoding to tell Ba Tianshi, and Ba Tianshi told him that he was afraid that the plan would be exposed, so he did not dare to investigate in person. The difference is neither a millimeter, nor a thousand miles, but in short, it is very wrong.
It turned out that the place where Hua Hegen went was Zhong Wanqiu's apartment. The girl was Zhong Ling. She was rummaging in her father's room, looking for an antidote to give Duan Yu, when a man suddenly came out of the ground to teach her how not to be shocked? Fortunately, Li Shuchong heard her exclamation and came out of thin air, Zhong Ling saw Brother Shu Chong, who had been thinking about it for a long time, and his heart was settled. Heroes save beauty, it must be just right, how can it be delayed for a moment?
Hua Hegen's heart moved very quickly: "If you dig the wrong place, you can only dig it again." This Li Shuchong is a good friend of the little prince, and he must have come to save people, so it doesn't hurt to see my actions. It's just that my traces have appeared, if I kill this little girl and kill her, and don't say whether Li Shuchong knows her or not, will I agree? Just say that I saw her body in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, and immediately searched for it, and before I dug up the stone house, this tunnel would be discovered. Only by persuading Li Shuchong to bring her into the tunnel for the time being, others will look for her, and they will definitely look for her outside the valley. ”
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the room, and someone approached. Hua Hegen shook his hand at Li Shuchong and Zhong Ling, signaling that he would not be quiet. Li Shuchong turned around, smiled softly at Zhong Ling, suddenly turned his left palm over and pressed it on her mouth, hugged her waist with his right hand, and hugged her to the edge of the hole. Hua Hegen was overjoyed, and when he saw that Li Shuchong and himself had a tacit understanding, he motioned for Li Shuchong to step into the cave and drill down from the hole. Li Shuchong casually clicked on Zhong Ling's dumb and stuffed her down, Fan Hua reached out to take it, and dispelled the strange idea of "stuffing it in her mouth with soil" that came up instantly. Hua Hegen finally jumped back into the tunnel, recovering a square piece of floor that had been cut into place, listening through the cracks in the slabs.
I heard only two people walking into the room. A man's voice said, "You must have no love for him, otherwise I will ruin the reputation of the Duan family, why do you want to stop him?" A woman's voice said angrily: "What is left? I have never been merciless to him." The man said, "That's the best." Great, wonderful!" The woman said, "However, Miss Mu is my sister's daughter, and she is always her own, how can you be so difficult for her?"
When Hua Hegen heard this, he knew that these two people were the lord and wife of Zhonggu. Listening to what they discussed was related to Duan Yu, so he listened more attentively.
I only heard Zhong Wanqiu say: "Your senior sister wants to secretly let Duan Yu go, but fortunately Ye Erniang found out." Your sister and we have become enemies. Why do you bother to care about her daughter anymore? Madam, these guests in the hall are all famous figures in the Dali martial arts, you ignore them, and walk in with a glare, it is too ...... Too this...... Poor manners. Mrs. Zhong said stupidly: "What are you inviting these guys to do? These people don't have much friendship with us, do they dare to offend the current emperor of Dali?"
Zhong Wanqiu said: "I didn't ask them to come to help, I wanted them to rebel against Duan Zhengming. It happened that they were both in Dali City, so I invited them to drink, so that everyone could testify that Duan Zhengchun's biological son and biological daughter were in the same room, and the brother and sister were like beasts. Among the distinguished guests invited today, there are also a few heroes from the Central Plains from the north. Early tomorrow morning, let's go open the door of the stone house, let everyone open their eyes, and see the virtue of the heirloom of the Duan family, isn't that interesting? Isn't this famous?" said Haha laughed, very proud.
Mrs. Zhong snorted and said, "Despicable, despicable, shameless!" Zhong Wanqiu said: "Who are you scolding for being despicable and shameless?" Mrs. Zhong said: "Whoever does despicable and shameless things will be despicable and shameless, and there is no need for me to scold." Zhong Wanqiu said: "Yes, Duan Zhengchun, a villain, is self-indulgent, creates many wrongs, and in the end, his own children fall in love and become adulterous, which is really despicable and shameless." Mrs. Zhong sneered twice and did not answer. Zhong Wanqiu said: "Why are you sneering?" The words 'despicable and shameless', aren't you scolding Duan Zhengchun?" Mrs. Zhong sneered: "I can't fight the Duan family, and I can't shrink my head in the valley all my life, that's it, the so-called shame is almost brave, this is still a person." Knowing that you are using such means to manipulate his sons and daughters, it is not him who is laughed at by the heroes of the world, but you Zhong Wanqiu!"
Zhong Wanqiu jumped up and said angrily: "You...... You call me despicable and shameless?"
Mrs. Zhong burst into tears and choked up: "I can't imagine that the husband I married, the lover of my life, is actually ...... It's such a number one person. I...... I...... I'm so miserable!"
When Zhong Wanqiu saw his wife crying, he couldn't help but panic, and said, "Okay! If you love to scold me, just scold me!" He paced around the room, wanting to say a few words to his wife, but he couldn't think of how to phrase it for a while, and said, "This is not my idea. Duan Yu was captured by the crocodile god of the South China Sea, Mu Wanqing was captured by the 'evil Guan Manying', and the 'Yin and Yang Harmony Hesan' was also his. How could I have such a despicable and shameless drug?" Madame Zhong sneered, "If you know what despicable and shameless is, it would be fine. If you don't approve of this idea, then you should release the wooden girl. Zhong Wanqiu said: "That can't be done, that's not done! Let Mu Wanqing go, what good can Duan Yu do alone?"
Mrs. Zhong said: "Okay! You are despicable and shameless, so I will do something despicable and shameless for you to see." Zhong Wanqiu was shocked and hurriedly asked, "...... you You...... What are you going to do?"
Mrs. Zhong snorted and said, "You can think about it yourself." Zhong Wanqiu said in a trembling voice: "You...... You have to talk to Duan Zhengchun again...... Duan Zhengchun, this thief, went to fornicate?" Mrs. Zhong said angrily: "What's not!" Zhong Wanqiu hurriedly laughed and said: "Madam, don't be angry, I said the wrong thing, you never talked to him...... Talked to him about that. You said you were going to do something despicable and shameless to show me, and that's ...... Is this a joke?" Mrs. Zhong did not answer.
Zhong Wanqiu was shocked, and at a glance he saw the messy bottles and cans in the medicine room in the back room, so he said: "Hmph, Ling'er, this kid is really messing around, at a young age, she actually came to ask me what 'Yin Yang and Hesan' were, I don't know where she heard it, and she came here to mess around." As he spoke, he walked over to the medicine shelf to sort out the medicine bottles, and stepped on the cut square board. Hua Hegen hurriedly held it up, preventing him from noticing.
Mrs. Zhong said: "What about Ling'er? Where did she go? Why did you take her to the hall to meet the guests just now?" Zhong Wanqiu smiled and said: "I gave birth to such a beautiful girl with you, how can I not let my good friends meet her?" Mrs. Zhong said: "Do you offer treasures?" I look at the pair of thief eyes of this guy in the clouds, and keep looking at Ling'er, you have to be careful. Zhong Wanqiu smiled: "I'm only careful of you alone, a beautiful woman like you, who doesn't want to beat your idea?"
Mrs. Zhong took a sip and shouted, "Ling'er, Ling'er!" A maid came over and said, "Miss came here just now." Mrs. Zhong nodded and said, "You go and invite the young lady to come, I have something to say." ”
Zhong Ling was under the floor, and she could hear every word of her parents clearly, but she couldn't shout, and she was anxious, but fortunately, Li Shuchong clicked on her dumb hole to save her from being killed. If your mouth is stuffed with dirt, it's very uncomfortable. Fortunately, at this moment, she was in Li Shuchong's arms, and her wishes came true.
Li Shuchong is holding the soft fragrance at the moment, and it is inevitable that his heart will fluctuate. He and Zhong Ling have met passionately again and again, even a righteous man and a gentleman will inevitably think of it, not to mention a romantic figure like Li Shuchong? What he is thinking of at the moment is what Qin Wen said to him when he left today: "For our future, we will accept it when we see it!"
Li Shuchong has been figuring out the means to solve the dilemma, thinking of Qin Wen's instructions, he suddenly felt happy, "If you see it, you will accept it?" Of course Zhong Ling is a good girl who is ice clear and jade, could it be that Qin Wen means that in order to improve my dantian strength and everyone's comprehensive strength, let me accept her as soon as possible? After accepting her, can I perfectly solve the dilemma of being backward and beaten? and can I solve the dilemma of Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing's "brother and sister union" in front of me?

......
Emperor Baoding is also thinking hard about how to break the situation.
He first issued an order to exempt the salt tax, and all the people of Dali were grateful. Yunnan does not produce much salt, Tongguo only Baijing, Heijing, Yunlong and other nine wells produce salt, must buy salt from Shuzhong every year, the salt tax is very heavy, the remote poor often have a few months of light food in a year. Emperor Baoding knew that the salt tax was exempted, and the Huangmei monk would try to save Duan Yu in return. He has always admired the wit and martial arts of the Huangmei monk, and knew that his two disciples were not weak in martial arts, and the three of them came out together, when they could succeed, they waited for a day and a night, but there was no news, and they were going to order Ba Tianshi to listen to the movement, but Ba Tianshi, Hua Situ, and Fan Sima were gone. Emperor Baoding thought to himself: "Could it be that the prince of Yanqing is really so powerful, the three of Huangmei's senior brothers, masters and apprentices, and even the three dukes of my court, are all lost in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations? That Li Shuchong's one-finger Zen skills are quite good, but the three beautiful wives and concubines are controlled by others, and I am afraid it will be difficult to turn the tables, only if everyone goes all out and conspires to break the situation." ”
He immediately summoned the emperor's younger brother Duan Zhengchun, the Marquis of Shanyan, Gao Shengtai, and Chu Wanli, and other four guards, together with the princess of Zhennan Dao Baifeng, and then went to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations. Dao Baifeng's son was anxious, and begged Emperor Baoding to bring the Imperial Forest Army, and simply swept away the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations in one fell swoop. Emperor Baoding said: "Until the last moment, we always act in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes." The ancestral teachings of the Duan family for hundreds of years, we must not disobey them. ”
When the group came to the mouth of the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, they saw the crane in the clouds greeted them with a smile and a groan, and they took a deep look and said: "We, the 'Four Evils of the World' and the Lord of Zhonggu, expect that the Great Master will come again today, and we have been waiting here for a long time. If you have the iron armoured horses with you, we will flee and take the son and daughter of the king of Zhennan with us. If you follow the rules of the rivers and lakes and meet friends with martial arts, please come into the hall to serve tea. ”
Emperor Baoding saw that the other party was very calm, and he obviously had a fearless appearance, unlike the day before yesterday, when he came up to be a big battle of ping-pong, he was even more frightened, and he immediately returned it and said: "This is very good." The crane in the clouds led the way, and the group came to the hall......
