Chapter 196: Fierce Battle (2)
Xue Chao was overjoyed: "It's Qingqing, Sister Cuicui is back with Auntie!"
See the leopard again.
Granny Xue said to Qingqing, Cuicui and Leopard: "This is my nephew Xue Chao, you call him Brother Chao!"
Qingqing and Cuicui shouted at the same time: "Brother Chao!"
Xue Chao said: "Auntie, I will lead you into the village." Uncle and Lombard would be glad to know that their aunt had returned with her two younger sisters. Auntie, have you seen Brother Wang?"
"Brother Wang, I don't see it! Where did he go?"
"Uncle sent Brother Wang to Yunnan to find my aunt and uncle, haven't you seen it?"
"Which way does he go?"
"Wind crossing. ”
"We crossed the river from Yumen. How long has he been gone?"
"Three days. No wonder my aunt didn't see him. Auntie, let's go up the mountain!"
Xue Chao ordered the two teenagers: "Fu San, Ma Qi, you are in the forest." If you notice a stranger, report it immediately. ”
The two young hunters said, "Super Young Master, we know, you can rest assured that you can go up the mountain with the owner of the village." ”
Xue Chao and the seven hunters followed Xue Nuxia up the mountain.
On the way, Xue Nuxia asked, "Chao'er, where are the old people, children, women, and children in the mountain village?"
"Auntie, I have told them all to move to the village! I give the money to those who do not want to enter the village. Tell them to take refuge with distant relatives and friends, and come back after Lan Ming!"
"Good. It's a good arrangement. ”
When Xue Nuxia came to the village gate, a wooden bridge across the river had been hoisted.
The gate was closed and heavily guarded, so no one could pass through.
Of course, it's useless if you want to block a top-notch martial arts master, but it's enough to protect against ordinary bandits.
Xue Chao raised his voice and shouted, "Auntie, uncle is back!" ”
The Xue warriors guarding the village gate had already seen Xue Nuxia and Shang Liang.
Xue Chao's voice was lowered, and with a creak, the wooden bridge collapsed, and the village gate opened at the same time.
An old man with a white beard and blue clothes ran out of the room.
As soon as he saw Xue Nuxia, he said happily: "The eldest lady came back in time! The old slave and the old village owner looked forward to the young lady and Aunt Shang day and night. ”
Xue Nuxia said, "Uncle, is my father okay?"
"The old village owner is fine, and his body is quite tough. The old slave has already sent someone to the village to find the master, saying that the young lady and the aunt have come back with something!"
"Then let's go in and see Daddy!"
Xue Nuxia and Shang Liang took Leopard Er and others, accompanied by Long Bo and Xue Chao (the remaining seven hunters rested in the rooms on both sides of the front hall, and some went to pick up their relatives), walked through the cottage hall and entered the inner hall.
Xue Fei, the owner of the old village, has been served by two family members and is waiting for Xue Hongmei in the inner hall.
Xue Fei is an old man in his sixties and seventies.
More than 30 years ago, Xuejiazhai was founded in Shanxi and Shaanxi with the phantom demon hand demon, and named Xue Fei "Longmen Ghost" on the rivers and lakes.
Because he suddenly appeared in front of people like a ghost as fast as one could imagine, and then disappeared without a trace.
No one knows where he came from or where he went.
Xue Fei's martial arts, from the Tianshan School, are known as the Tianshan martial artists, coupled with his diligent study and practice, he has even played the kung fu of the Tianshan Light School.
He learned martial arts very well and abided by the rules of the Tianshan Academy.
He did not get involved in disputes between various martial arts schools, nor did he join the gangs.
He secretly acts chivalrous and righteous, punishes evil and promotes good, and is a lone ranger.
He has killed many local tyrants, bandits, and mountain bandits in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and also punished some corrupt officials, bandits, and hooligans, and his true face has always been a person who is not famous for his martial arts, and only knows that there is a mysterious Shaanxi man in Shanxi.
It wasn't until Lantian, the ruler of southwestern Shanxi, entered Longmen Mountain and invaded Xue's village that Xue Fei killed the first ruler of southwestern Shanxi.
It was only then that martial arts became known to martial arts enthusiasts.
The grimace unfolded, and people knew that Xue Fei of the Xue family in Longmen Mountain, Shanxi Province was such a chivalrous man.
Xue Fei killed Lan Tian, and when he thought of being soft-hearted, he let go of the teenage Lan Ming, and couldn't bear to bury his father and son in Longmen Mountain.
Unexpectedly, Lan Ming was not grateful, but took his father's revenge, found teachers and friends, and trained him to become a knife to repay his father's revenge.
Lan Ming found a master of martial arts, who was the mysterious Black Arrow.
Even if Lan Ming doesn't look for Black Arrow, Black Arrow will come to him.
Because Lan Ming is a bully in Jinnan and a very influential underworld figure in Zhongtuo Mountain.
If you take Lan Ming as your own use, it can also be seen as a kind of power.
So when the black arrow entered the Central Plains, the first thing it found was Lan Ming.
also likes to practice martial arts, and Black Arrow first scared Lan Ming with martial arts.
At this time, Lan Ming proposed to worship him as a teacher, learn a unique skill, and dedicate it to Black Arrow.
Black Arrow asked him how he was.
He thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to be my teacher. This old man will teach you how to use your sword properly. After you have practiced the sword, you must first get the nod of the old man before you can take action to avenge your father. Without my permission, the old man could kill you at any time. Do you understand?"
In order to understand what the old man meant, "The old man's meaning is very clear, that is, he wants you to obey my orders."
In addition, the Longmen ghost also has a close relationship with the Tianshan faction, the Kunlun faction, the Huashan faction, and the Hengshan faction.
Black Arrow doesn't want to make things big now, and wants to attract the attention of the Central Plains Martial Arts. "But you can rest assured, I will give you what you want, and one day, you will go for revenge. If you don't listen to the old man, I won't teach you a sword, and I'll kill you right away. ”
"I'm willing to listen to my superiors. ”
In this way, Black Arrow taught Lan Ming the sword technique of his superiors, telling Lan Ming to practice hard after three years and obey his orders at any time in the future.
Lan Ming is a person with a heart, he has practiced the sword technique day and night, less than three years, and only practiced for more than a year.
Soon after, he still believed that the sword technique was excellent, and kept trying to find a martial arts competition where they didn't dare to disturb the Black Arrow, but within ten moves, he defeated his opponent and made Lan Ming confident, and later, he had several famous martial arts competitions, some of which were of the Huashan faction, and some of which were believers of the Shaolin Temple, all of which were over.
At this time, not only Lan Ming's confidence increased, but also his experience in the rivers and lakes increased.
He thinks that he can kill the Xue family, but he can also be a hero in Shanxi, and it seems that even through the black arrow, he is ready to kill him and avenge his father.
Black Arrow Zhang Jian stopped his movements.
Lan Ming was greatly dissatisfied when he heard this.
Zhang Jian said coldly: "Okay, if you conquer me, you can go and take revenge, not only will I not stop you, but even my master will not stop your actions." ”
Lan Ming stared at him and asked, "Is what you said true?"
Zhang Jian said: "Really. ”
"Alright, here we go. I beg your pardon for what I missed. ”
"You accidentally killed me, not only am I not angry, but my teacher can't blame you. ”
At that time, Zhang Jian had not yet entered the rivers and lakes.
He is not so famous in the rivers and lakes.
He was ten years younger than Lan Ming.
Lan Ming couldn't see his eyes, and thought to himself, "I can't even win like you, do you still want to dominate the martial arts?"
But Zhang Jian's three strange shapes and unparalleled stunts, he couldn't catch them.
After the fourth move, Zhang Jian shook the sword away and pressed the tip of the sword against his heart.
He asked coldly, "What else can you say now?"
Suddenly, under Zhang Jian's sword, Lan Ming's empty arrogance disappeared.
His face turned pale and he hung his head and said, "I'm leaving." ”
He felt that he didn't care about Black Arrow in the past, but now he was defeated by a disciple of Black Arrow, who was not satisfied with his five moves.
The martial arts of the black arrow can be imagined, but dare not obey?
Zhang Jian said: "In the future, if you dare to disobey my master's orders and act recklessly, I will not only kill you immediately, but also raze your castle to the ground." Take care of yourself from now on! ”
Zhang Jian picked up the sword and left.
After this time, Lan Ming really didn't dare to move, he didn't dare to have two hearts, and he only had a double sword technique in his eyes.
Therefore, Black Arrow was not in a hurry to go to Xuejiazhai, in addition to not wanting to alarm Xuanling, the most important thing was to kill Xuejiazhai's father and daughter to avenge his father.
Due to the busy work of several schools in the Central Plains of Black Arrow, Xuejiazhai in Longmen, Shanxi Province was temporarily put on hold.
This time things are different.
Cui Cui and the Black Panther killed the first of 13 eagles at Eagle Castle, a young eagle.
Although neither side knows who the other is or where they come from, both sides can tell from each other's martial arts.
Cuicui knew that her opponent was a martial artist of the Black Arrow Sect, but Eagle Castle saw that Cuicui was the daughter of the Xue family in Longmen, Shanxi.
Later, Zhang Jian missed it, which confirmed this even more.
Black Arrow was furious, it was the angel who sent a dozen Little Eagle Fort Yunnan things to do, but looking at Cuicui, eight men died, left, returned to four, two were seriously injured, Black Arrow and Zhuge Zhongqing felt pale, don't mess with it.
But Shanxi Longmen Xue Village must be pulled out!
Not washing Longmen Mountain is not enough to solve its hatred.
But Zhuge Zhongqing was insidious and unwilling to face the Flying Eagle's fort, so he secretly sent the Four Great Eagles and ordered Lan Ming to sweep Xue's Village, and in order to take revenge on Lan Ming, the Four Great Eagles helped each other from the side.
Even if Xuejiazhai spreads to the rivers and lakes this time, it is the revenge of Xuejiazhai between Lan Ming and Longmen Mountain, and it has nothing to do with the people of Feiying Castle.
At this time, Black Arrow and Zhuge Zhongqing did not know that they were the Six Eagle Killers, and Taibai Mountain was annihilated in the Qinling Mountains.
Lan Ming received the order of the black arrow, and also saw the help of the four first-class superiors, he was overjoyed, gathered himself, more than a hundred subordinates, and rushed to Longmen Mountain in a rage
Whether it is Black Arrow or Zhuge Zhongqing, they never thought that their sworn enemy, Leopard, would go all the way from Zangdian Mountain in Yunnan to Shanxi with Shang Liang and Xue Nuxia.
Xue Nuxia and Shang Liang saw their father Xue Fei, and Xue Fei said, "Father, I have brought my two daughters to see you!"
Qingqing and Cuicui immediately stepped forward and knelt down to worship Xue Fei, saying, "Granddaughter Qingqing, Cuicui, please kowtow to grandpa! ”
This is the meeting that Cuicui and Cuicui agreed on on the road.
Xue Fei smiled happily, his silver beard trembling, and he helped the two of them up.
"Okay, okay! You don't need to worship. You seem to be getting smarter than my daughter. ”
When they came in, Xue Fei had already secretly looked at them and the leopard, and a heroic spirit froze on his brows.
The verdant majesty and the emerald cleverness made him happy and happy, and he thought: It seems that my daughter has a pair of smart eyes, and has identified a good person, and can proclaim her own uniqueness!
Although Xue Fei has only one daughter, Xue Hongmei, there are many cousins, but no one can pass on his inheritance.
They either lack nature or lack wisdom.
Some of them have no martial arts training at all, or they have been handed down.
They are not good at martial arts, and can only be second- and third-rate masters.
Fortunately, he has his own daughter who can inherit the mantle of the Xue family.
In the teaching of martial arts, Xue Fei has no selfish feelings for his daughter and nephew, because a person who practices martial arts, in addition to his hobbies, should pay more attention to character, talent and wisdom, which are essential.
Lacking talent and wisdom, even if it is difficult to learn, it is difficult to become a talent.
Talent and wisdom take root, and if the character is not good, let alone spread, it will harm the rivers, lakes and seas, and harm people.
Therefore, the famous families of heroes are very strict in choosing disciples, especially when inheriting their mantle, and often pass on their unique knowledge after a long period of observation and testing.
Otherwise, just through martial arts like self-defense fitness.
Xue Fei looked at all the Xue Men nephews around him.
It seems that no one can inherit the mantle of this family except his own daughter.
They are either talented, or lack intelligence, or lack ideals in character.
The so-called virtue in martial arts is not only kindness, integrity, and honesty, but also a compassionate chivalrous heart, the courage to do it, not afraid of life and death, and fighting for justice.
In addition to this, it is necessary to have wisdom and talent.
Otherwise, he is just a stupid brave, honest and upright person, not enough to fight heroically on the rivers and lakes, and even if he can't protect himself, he will often lose his life in confusion.
Therefore, no matter what industry or industry, talent is the most valuable.
As the saying goes, the three armies are easy to get. One will be hard to find.
Now Xue Fei sees talents like Qingqing and Cuicui.
How could he be unhappy and happy at the same time?
He asked her, "How are their apparitions doing?"
Xue Nuxia said: "Dad, their phantom kung fu is better than that of their daughter! Dad, your education is very unique, and you are the third generation!"
Qingqing and Cuicui hurriedly said, "Grandpa, it would be nice if our martial arts were half as good as my mother!"
"From now on, I hope that grandpa will personally give my granddaughter ideas. ”
Xue Fei smiled and said, "Okay, okay! I need to see your phantom first! But let's have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow Grandpa will see what you can do." ”
Xue Fei saw that Qingqing and Cuicui's martial arts were not weak, especially Cuicui, who had an extraordinary temperament and deep internal strength, but was not stronger than Xue Hongmei's martial arts, and he didn't believe it!
Xue Nuxia introduces Leopard to his father.
Xue Fei couldn't help but feel a little respectful when he heard Leopard, and asked Xue Nuxia: "Is this young master Mei too similar to your missing young master Leopard, so that it is difficult to recognize him?"
"Dad, he's the missing young master. ”
Xue Fei was taken aback: "What? Is he the little young master? It was the leopard young man who scared the black arrow away, and it was the black sword that fought fiercely in Chongqing?"
"Daddy, it's him!"
"Then how is the young head of the Tibetan Sect?"
"Dad, you don't know, Leopard Shaoxia's original twin brother of the mother of the Tibetan Sect only recognized it recently. Therefore, the leopard Shaoxia is also less in charge. ”
"I get it, it's a miracle in martial arts. You may be seated!"
Leopard said: "Grandpa Xue, don't call me any young master and young man, you call me Leopard!"
Cuicui said, "That's it, grandpa, you can call him Leopard." If the grandfather called him a young master and a young knight, he would feel uncomfortable and could not sit quietly. I'll get rid of him!"
Leopard said again: "Grandpa Xue, this is true. ”
Xue Nuxia also said: "Dad, you call Brother Leopard good for Leopard!"
Xue Fei said with a smile: "In this case, my old man is relying on the old and selling the old, so you don't have to be polite." ”
He said to Long Bo, "Old Dragon, are you ready for the feast?"
"Master, the old slave is ready. ”
"Okay! I can have a drink tonight. ”
Shang Liang smiled and said, "I want to have a good drink with my father." ”
Cuicui said: "Grandpa, the leopard is also a wine tank. He drank better than his dad. ”
Xue Nuxia smiled and said, "You are a girl." I still want you to supervise them to drink, but you condone them to drink? Aren't you afraid that they will drop the jar on the floor?"
"Mom, they're drinking with Grandpa! Even if you lift the ban once, Grandpa will be happy. ”
Xue Fei smiled and said, "Mei Nu, it seems that my granddaughter is more reasonable than you. Unlike you, she doesn't care about her husband's judgment. ”
Shang Liang said: "Dad, don't praise this green girl, she took care of me and Brother Leopard on the way, and she was more comatose than her mother, and almost scared me to death!"
Xue Nuxia said: "It's better to be strict on the road, otherwise you will lose your mind once something goes wrong." ”
Cuicui said, "Dad, did you hear what Grandpa said? I didn't do anything wrong. ”
Shang Liang smiled and said to Xue Fei, "Dad, look at you! You are too partial to your granddaughter!"
Cuicui called: "Grandpa just didn't have partiality, and said that it was reasonable." ”
Everyone laughed.
After the meal, Xue Fei arranged accommodation for Qingqing, Cuicui and Leopard.
There was nothing at night, but the next day, the sky had just dawned, and Longmen Mountain was still in silence, and a red whistling arrow had already flown from the depths of the forest to the sky, cutting off the tranquility of dawn.
The whistle woke up the old birds in the forest, and also woke up the people inside and outside Xuejia Village.
The people in Xuejia Village were ready to patrol and stared vigilantly outside the village, and the others also got up one after another.
Those who were able to fight, armed with knives, guns, clubs, bows and arrows, ran up the walls of the fortress.
The cottage wall, also like the city wall of the county town, is much smaller than the city wall, but also has battlements and towers.
This gate is also the gate of the castle, just going south from the hill.
The walls allowed horses to run back and forth, making it easy to defend against enemies and robbers from both sides.
Shang Liang and Xue Nuxia came to the tower first, the leopard followed, and Qingqing and Cuicui also came!
At this time, the morning mist filled the entire Longmen Mountain.
Only mountain peaks, forests, and trails are clearly visible.
Xue Nuxia asked the night watchman, "Have you found the enemy?"
"Miss, there is still no trace of the enemy. ”
The leopard said, "I heard a lot of people walking not far down the mountain. ”
Xuejiazhai is only four or five miles away from the foot of the mountain.
In the quiet dawn, with the power of the leopard's heart, you can hear it clearly.
Even if there was no alarm, within two or three miles, the leopard would notice that the situation was not good, so he woke Shang Liang and Xue Nuxia and prepared themselves.
Xue Fei, old and healthy, also rushed to the tower.
As soon as Shang Liang saw him, he said, "Dad, we have this matter in our hands! Go back and sleep a little longer. ”
Qingqing said: "Grandpa, Dad said that this matter will be done with us, and grandpa can sit at home with peace of mind." ”
Cuicui said, "Grandpa, I'll help you go back." There are dad, mom, sister and leopard brother. ”
Xue Fei's eyes flashed suddenly, his silver-white beard fluttered, he looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about my old man." I haven't been on the rivers and lakes for decades, but this time there are rare bandits. I want to build my muscles, and at the same time I want to see all of you martial arts, especially my two grandchildren. ”
Xue Nuxia said, "Father, in this way, you can sit on the city tower and look at my two daughters." ”
Cuicui said: "Grandpa, the thief is coming, you can't move! Otherwise, my sister and I won't be able to show our kung fu!"
"Okay, I'll see you do it. ”
Xue Nuxia said: "Qingqing, Cuicui, you and your brother Leopard should stay here to accompany grandpa." Your father and I are going to walk around to prevent thieves from slipping in from the shadows. ”
Qingqing said: "Mom, you and dad let's go, grandpa and we are here, always here." ”
Of course, there was also a group of warriors and archers guarding the towers and walls.
Xue Nuxia ordered again: "Everyone be careful!"
She and Shang Liang patrolled both sides of the city wall.
