Volume 1 - Acquaintance and Parting Chapter 10 - Old Past

After Pang Xuan listened to Pang Long's words, he couldn't help but be surprised, and then sighed: "The world is about to be in chaos, boss, you are in an important position, and you have military power in your hands, don't get involved in the battle, so as not to cause death!"

When the third son Pang Bao heard this, he hurriedly spoke: "Father, do you mean that we are not in a hurry to stand in line?" But in this case, I am afraid of ......"

"Nope! It's not that you don't rush to stand in line, but you can't stand in line at all! No matter where you stand, there is only one final outcome - death!"

Before Pang Bao's words fell, Pang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and flowed out a murderous aura.

"You three brothers remember! Now there is an undercurrent surging in the court, no matter which party benefits, it cannot be eternal! For the father, I don't ask your three brothers to shine on the lintel, but you must be alone! Otherwise, my Pang family's catastrophe is not far away!"

When the three brothers heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other in surprise, and then arched their hands towards Pang Xuan and said, "Listen to my father's teachings!"

Subsequently, the old brother Pang Hu and Pang Bao exited the backyard first, while Pang Long stayed where he was.

"Boss, what's the matter with you?"

"Father, I don't know who the old man is called Hanako, who is the character? The child fought with him, and was slapped in the lower abdomen by his palm, only to feel that his true qi was chaotic, and it took a long time to breathe!" Pang Long asked with questions.

Pang Xuan listened to Zhang Zi's question, his eyes closed slightly, and he quietly recalled in his mind.

After a while, Pang Xuan opened his eyes and said, "Boss, this person is strong in martial arts, our Pang family can't afford to be a character, stay away in the future!"

When Pang Long heard this, he was even more shocked, because since Pang Xuan could remember, he had never heard such words from his father!

Pang Long wanted to ask again, but Pang Xuan shook his hand with a tired look on his face and motioned for Pang Long to leave.

Seeing this, Pang Long had no choice but to leave: "Yes, the child obeys his father's orders!"

After Pang Long left, Pang Xuan was independent of the trees in the courtyard, and a gust of autumn wind blew, blowing the courtyard full of golden fallen leaves.

Pang Xuan stretched out his hand to take the fallen leaves in mid-air, looking at the fallen leaves in his hand, Pang Xuan's mouth moved slightly, a trace of light flashed in his eyes, and he gently spit out a few words: "Taixu Sword Tao Zihui ......"

…………

The red sun sets in the west, and night comes.

Zhangfu, Zhang Baitong set up a practical banquet for the old beggar and others, why is it said to be a practical banquet?

It turned out that the Taiyi Mansion had to clean up the moldy medicinal materials in the warehouse every month, and then send them out of the city by car for burial.

And Zhang Baitong, as the imperial doctor, can naturally take advantage of his position to take the opportunity to hide the old beggar and others in the car and take them out of the city.

As for the fact that the city gate was heavily guarded and people and vehicles had to be inspected, Zhang Baitong was naturally prepared for a long time. That is, under the moldy medicinal herbs, there is a spread of afoetid, which is known as "the smelliest in medicine"!

At that time, even if the soldiers at the city gate are strictly investigated, it will be impossible to endure the stench and cause trouble for themselves! It's really not good, stuff a few taels of silver, and make a little bit, it's naturally not difficult to get out of the city!

After Zhang Baitong made up his mind, he discussed with the old beggar and Guan Shouting, and after hearing this method, the two naturally felt that it was feasible, and immediately agreed.

Therefore, Zhang Baitong ordered the people in the house to prepare a banquet and practice it for everyone.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Zhang Baitong was a little upset, patted the old beggar on the shoulder and said, "Old buddy, I heard Ziren say that you are poisoned this time, and my brother knows a little about medical skills, why don't I let you take a look?"

When the old beggar heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately asked Zhang Baitong to take the pulse. When everyone heard this, they all put down their things and looked at them carefully.

After Zhang Baitong diagnosed the pulse, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Old buddy, I have diagnosed countless pulses in my life, but your pulse is rare!"

"Oh? Please also ask the miracle doctor to speak slowly. When the old beggar heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said.

"Ordinary people, not in a hurry, not slow, powerful and active. But your pulse is calm and urgent, active and ups and downs, and the most amazing thing is that your pulse also has a poisoning that seems to be absent, which can be described as complicated!"

The eldest son Zhang Ziren on the side couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. After the old beggar heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother Baitong has a good diagnosis!" I'm poisoned, but I've been suppressed by my efforts!"

Zhang Baitong heard this, but he was amazed and said: "Old buddy, I have heard a little about the things in the market, that Pang Xuan is one of the famous "six knives" on the rivers and lakes!"

The old buddy can easily repel it, it can be seen how strong the martial arts are, why don't you force the poison out of the body, but let the poison stay in the body? ”

"Yes! Senior Zhang is right, I can't figure out why my predecessor's martial arts are so strong, why don't you force the poison out, but force it into your body!" Guan Shouting on the side also cast questions.

Faced with several people's questions, the old beggar shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I can't hide it, this poison has been in the old beggar for more than 20 years!" It's not that the old beggar doesn't want to force it out, but there is nothing he can do, nothing can be done! ”

"Strange old man, you are so powerful, why were you poisoned?" After listening to this, the young and ignorant Wu Kang immediately asked.

The old beggar shook his head and said, "There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, no matter how powerful a person is, there will always be someone or something that can defeat him." Even if it is the first in the world, there are hurdles that cannot be passed!"

"Dude, you've been in the house for a while, and I haven't heard of your name, buddy! What a disrespectful thing! ”

Although Zhang Baitong is a doctor, he also traveled the world when he was young, and now after listening to the words of the old beggar, some doctors can't help but cherish the heroes.

The old beggar smiled and waved his hand and said, "The name or something, it was all in the past, and it was just passed on by outsiders, why do you care so much?"

"It's not funny enough for the old buddy to say that!" Zhang Baitong shook his head, filled the wine of the two, and drank it alone.

When the old beggar saw this, he raised his glass and drank it.

The old beggar drank three or five glasses in one go, and put the wine glass on the table, and then his eyes revealed a memory, and then the old beggar opened the conversation.

"The world's knife techniques are unique to Xu, Huang, Pang, Zhang, Yan and Xiahou; And the swordsmanship in the world is led by the five swords!"

Guan Shouting on the side couldn't help lowering his head when he heard this, because the "six swordsmen" in the old beggar's mouth were all descendants of famous generals in the Three Kingdoms of the previous dynasty.

Guan Shouting, as a descendant of Guan Yu, a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty, failed to carry forward the ancestral sword technique, and he was ashamed in his heart.

"And below is the Taixu Sword of the Five Swords - Tao Zihui!"

As soon as the old beggar said this, Guan Shouting and Zhang Baitong were both shocked, and Zhang Baitong heard the words "Taixu Sword", and most of the wine suddenly woke up.

The two brothers of the Zhang family, Wu Kang and Sima Mengqin, did not know the word "Taixu Sword" at all, and they did not notice the abnormality of Zhang Baitong and Guan Shouting, but continued to listen attentively.

Faced with the reaction of the two, the old beggar who had drunk too much didn't take it to heart, but continued to talk.

"Back then, after I learned the Taixu swordsmanship, I felt that it was difficult to meet an opponent, and I relied on my martial arts to travel the world and fight unevenly. That's why he left this name on the rivers and lakes, and he was fortunate to be one of the five swords!" The old beggar said, and his eyes flashed with a gleam, as if he had returned to the time when he was in high spirits.

"Guan Mou has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, but I didn't expect that the old-timers are five swords and one, and the old-timers are worshiped by me!" Guan Shouting stood up and saluted as he spoke.

"Alas, what a big husband, what a little bit of restraint, what kind of eyes and no eyes, I don't like this old beggar, hurry up!"

Zhang Baitong on the side was also deeply touched at this time: "I have heard of the Taixu Sword for a long time - Tao Zihui's name, when my brother was young, the name of chivalry and righteousness spread all over the rivers and lakes, why did it suddenly disappear in the rivers and lakes twenty years ago?"

After listening to Zhang Baitong's question, the old beggar raised the wine bottle and took a sip and said: "The tree is big, and the people are famous." I relied on my martial arts to act chivalrous and save many people, but I also made a lot of enemies during this period! And the poison in my body was dropped twenty years ago!"

The old beggar said, and suddenly fell into memory: "Twenty years ago, I traveled to Xishu, and I heard that there were often poisonous snakes in the pre-king mountain, so I went to hunt and kill them with a sword.

Unexpectedly, the mountain poison snake was deliberately put by someone, this poisonous snake was originally a rare species in the mountains and forests of southern Xinjiang, growing in the uninhabited mountains and forests, it is difficult to grow up until death, and the toxicity is weak.

But the poisonous snake in the pre-king mountain is not only very poisonous, but also huge, with thick scale armor, which is difficult to penetrate with ordinary swords and crossbows, and has an extremely fierce character.

I searched in the mountains for three days before I found the snake king, and after a great battle, I was injured by the snake king's venom, and after the snake king was wounded, he fled through the confusion of the mountains and forests, and I had to return to the village below the mountain to find the antidote.

However, the venom of the snake king was fierce, and the villagers exhausted the herbs, but they could not unravel the snake venom on my body, and when my life was hanging by a thread, an old man passed by the village, and when he heard that I should be poisoned and there was no cure, he took out two pills from my body and made me take it. In an instant, the poison has been eliminated!"

"What? Is there such a peerless doctor in the world?! "Zhang Baitong has been a doctor all his life, and he has seen countless detoxification doctors, but he has never heard of such a good doctor as the old beggar said!

The old beggar shook his head and said, "I asked for his name, but this old man shook his head, and after detoxifying me, he went on the road again, and told me not to worry about this matter anymore!"

"And then?" When Wu Kang heard this, he couldn't wait for it to happen and asked.

"Alas! At that time, I was young and vigorous, how could I listen to the good advice of the old-timers? The day after the poison was cured, I went into the mountains again to look for traces of the snake king!

After searching in the mountains for three or five days, I was surprised to find that not only the snake king, but also the venom of the poisonous snakes in the mountains seemed to have disappeared out of thin air! In desperation, I had no choice but to return to the village. However, when I came to the entrance of the village, I saw a scene that I will never forget!"

The old beggar's voice became a little choked when he said this. When the people saw that the old beggar was sad, they did not say much.

After a pause, the old beggar continued: "When I rushed back to the village, all the poisonous snakes gathered at the entrance of the village, and all the people in the village were poisoned and died!

At this moment, I heard a flute sound from the village, and then all the poisonous snakes and the snake king attacked me together. In a fit of rage, I spent my whole life studying and killed the Snake King and more than 100 poisonous snakes, but at this time, there was only one person in the village! And this person is Tang Ji!"

When Zhang Baitong and Guan Shouting heard the word Tang Ji, their faces suddenly turned ugly, and Zhang Danshen on the side noticed that his father's complexion had changed, and asked curiously who Tang Ji was.

However, in the face of Zhang Danshen's inquiry, as well as the expectant and questioning eyes of several people, the three old beggars did not say anything.

After a long time, Zhang Baitong sighed and said, "If my guess is correct, the poison on the old buddy's body is caused by Tang Ji, right?"

The old beggar nodded slightly, then picked up the wine jar on the table and took a sip, closing his eyes tightly, full of unwillingness.
