At night, Dyeing Street, Shuanggui Lane.

Night Terror led the old horse and walked through the dim alleyway, looking left and right.

The bird turned around for a day, was in a good mood, lying on top of the horse's back bag, looking at the stars with his paws facing the sky, and humming a little tune:

"Twitter~......"

As you can tell from the name, Dyeing Street is a slum area where handicraft workshops are gathered, and now it has not fallen, and there are only a few small workshops around, and it is difficult to see people as soon as it gets dark.

Shuanggui Lane is even more so, no one cares about it all year round, and even the road surface has accumulated a lot of leaves, and stepping on it makes a 'rub~~' sound of light.

I just went around in the talent market, and there are a lot of errands, but those who can get three times the money are in demand.

As the saying goes, 'poor literature and rich martial arts', as a person who practices martial arts, he will get a lot of money just to buy all the things of the guys who practice martial arts, not to mention the exaggerated amount of food of martial artists, these jobs are obviously not done.

Although I didn't find an errand, but the residence was settled, the night terror hall thought that two taels of silver, in the capital can not settle down at all, but after some inquiry, I found the treasure of Shuanggui Lane - the whole alley more than a dozen courtyards, are a landlady's property, two taels of silver a year, which one you want to live in.

Night Terror paid half a year's rent, the landlord didn't give the key, came to see, it was very in line with expectations - a dozen old yards in disrepair, the walls were not cracked, and there were only two or three doors intact, and few people were willing to live without money.

The night terror hall fed one person and one bird, and the whole family was not hungry, and they didn't care about this, so they found a decent-looking yard and pushed the door in.

The courtyard was full of fallen leaves, the doors and windows were open, and there was only a bed frame inside, not even tables and chairs.

"Twitter......"

Bird jumped off the horse, and after a round in the house, he looked at the night terror hall with big black eyes, and guessed that he should go back to live with the big milk sister.

The night terror hall ignored the birds, tied the horse to the corner of the yard, fed some hay, and then carried the bedding off the horse's back.

Dada——

The fire sickle collided with sparks, and then the candlelight dimmed, filling the humble house on all four walls.

Night Terror Hall leaned his knife against the wall, looked back and forth in the empty room, and suddenly found that the floor was quite clean, and the dry thatch that made the bed was slightly dented, and when he looked down carefully, he also found a long hair.

"Huh?"

Night Terror picked up his long hair and looked at it - the hair was good, and it was certain that it wasn't too long, and someone had lived here recently.

But in this era, both men and women had long hair, and it was impossible to see the gender of the owner.

Could it be that it was left by the previous tenant......

Night Terror Hall was a little confused, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and after throwing his hair out the door, he brought sheets and bedding to make the bed.

Bird Bird is very naughty, pecking at the small package himself, trying to get the jerky he bought from it.

"Still eating, don't you see that you live in this place? If you can't get any more money, you'll have to sell it for money next month. ”

"Tsk~"

The bird jumped twice, indicating that he was fat and couldn't buy a few big bucks.

Night Terror Hall had just flattened the sheets when he suddenly heard a slight noise outside:

Whew-

It was like a breeze that hung into the yard and lifted the fallen leaves on the ground.

Night Terror frowned, gripped the hilt of the knife beside him, and looked out of the decorative window.

There is an extra figure in the courtyard!

The black light blinded the fire, the silver moon was like frost, and the moonlight that turned over the wall only illuminated half of the courtyard.

The figure stood between light and darkness, wrapped in a cloak and a hat, unable to see the fat and thin man and woman, and holding a spear wrapped in black cloth obliquely.

The figure did not move at all, did not speak, and it was obviously not good.

Night Terror Hall secretly raised his finger and asked Bird Bird to quietly find his dart, and at the same time stuck the knife across his waist and came to the door:

"Who is Your Excellency? Could this be your dwelling? ”

Naturally, the hatsman came to visit the young man's big sister in the middle of the night.

However, Pei Xiangjun did not speak, the spear in his hand slid out, held the tail of the spear with one hand, raised the spear flat, drew a semicircle in the old courtyard, pointed to the night terror, and also raised the hat, which showed that he was wearing a grimace mask on his face.

Holding the tail of the gun in one hand and raising the nine-foot gun, you can't do it without a solid foundation.

Seeing this, Night Terror Hall retreated half a step back silently, holding the hilt of the knife in his left hand, and waited for it. But the opponent did not attack directly, but raised his long wrist and shook lightly.

Smack-

Deep in the alley under the moon, there was a whip sound.

The black cloth wrapped around the body of the spear instantly split apart, revealing the body of the black lacquered spear.

The silver spear blade emitted a ghostly cold glow under the moon, and after the black cloth cracked, the trembling sound of the spear blade could be heard like a dragon's groan:

Airplanes~~~

Night Terror's eyes were slightly frightened, he could easily hold the gun in one hand, but it was beyond his ability to directly shatter the wrapped fabric.

Knowing that he was invincible, the night terror hall had a 'happy' expression, and raised his eyes to look at the gate of the courtyard:

"Wang Daxia?!"

Pei Xiangjun quickly turned his head to check.

Bang –

The Night Terror slammed on the ground and jumped onto the rooftops of the house, running wildly towards the bustling streets.

It's a pity that this trick may be useful for ordinary martial artists, but this time it is not an ordinary person!

Night Terror jumped onto the roof, but there was no movement behind him, but there was a violent sound of breaking wind from above.

Sa –

The night terror hall blade out of the sheath, looking at the afterglow, was stunned to find that the hatholder who had just been still unmoving, came first, crossed to the air three zhang high, and smashed the top of his head with the force of the gun in both hands.

The house is only one zhang high, this jump is about equal to three floors, and it is the first time in my life that I have seen a person jump so high, and I can't help but be shocked!

In the face of Tarzan's overwhelming attack, Night Terror Hall quickly held the knife horizontally upward, and his right hand pressed against the back of the knife at the same time.

When—

Whoop -

In the sound of gold and iron clashing, the old roof collapsed in an instant.

Night Terror Hall was smashed into the house with a shot, only to feel that the spear contained a brutal force that could not be caught at all, and after it landed, it still shook the soles of the feet and hurt.

"Heroic and ...... Slow"

Night Terror tried to open his mouth, but the sudden gunman didn't give him a chance, and pierced through the hole in the roof and stabbed directly into the door.

Bell –

The Night Terror Hall slashed horizontally, and in the loud noise, a few sparks burst out of the room, and the crumbling candles were also blown out.

The spear that pierced through the roof was like a jack of iron, and it was split and moved sideways a little.

Night Terror seized the opportunity to fly up, holding the knife in both hands, and slashed the five fingers of the hatsman along the barrel of the gun, trying to fight back.

But after the tip of the spear was a little on the ground, it flew out of the roof upside down and landed lightly on the roof, and the tip of the spear pointed diagonally at the courtyard, and did not attack again.

Seeing this, Night Terror Hall hurriedly stopped, and stood in front of him with a knife in both hands, maintaining a posture of responding to the enemy.

Knock knock knock......

The courtyard fell silent under the moonlight, and a heartbeat that was about to explode could be clearly heard.

With beads of sweat on his forehead, Night Terror held his knife and stared at the figure on the roof.

After a moment of confrontation, the man on the roof raised his hat slightly, and made a hoarse voice that was neither male nor female:

"You won't be able to 'Eight Steps Crazy Knife'?"

Night Terror Hall frowned, he had been practicing martial arts with his father-in-law since he was a child, and he had learned normal sword and gun kung fu, and he had never heard of the eight-step mad knife.

As for the relevant cheats, I haven't encountered them, the books that can describe the rivers and lakes in the border town are all miscellaneous books such as "Tears of a Chivalrous Woman", "History of Wulin Yan", "Legend of Yanxia", etc., he has read a lot, he has not learned the moves, but he has learned a lot of postures......

"I'm just a dart master, I haven't heard of the eight-step mad knife, I will have a few miscellaneous tricks, your Excellency may have found the wrong person."

"The 'Eight-Step Crazy Knife' was created by the sword leader of the previous dynasty and passed on to the sword master 'Zheng Feng'. You are showing your sword in Mingyulou today, and the starting style is similar to the eight-step mad knife, and I am afraid that the imperial court will soon find you. But you really won't, don't worry, at most I'll beat you up again. ”

?

And another meal?

Night Terror Hall can roughly deduce that 'Zheng Feng' is the pseudonym of his stepfather Pei Yuanfeng, but he really didn't expect that his stepfather was still a true grandmaster.

But you have such a hanging knife technique and don't teach it early?

If you don't teach, you don't teach, what are you doing in your whole starting style? How can it be recognized by others......

It seems that I can't burn paper for you this year......

Night Terror Hall turned a thousand times in his heart, his expression was natural, and he saw that the other party seemed to be a kind reminder, so he asked:

"I have never heard of any of these things. Who is Your Excellency? ”

"Red Fortuna."

Night Terror Hall recalled slightly, and secretly frightened in his heart - the 'Red God of Wealth' He had heard of it, and he was the title of the owner of the 'Red Flower Building' of the wealthy family in the rivers and lakes, also known as the 'Gun Kui', ranking seventh in the world, higher than his father-in-law's enemy's family in the rivers and lakes.

Although I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that the 'gun leader' seemed to have changed, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, no wonder it was so powerful......

"It turned out to be the owner of the Honghua Building, and he has admired his name for a long time. I don't know what the purpose of the seniors came to the door and pointed out to me a junior? ”

"Look at you as a good material, cherish your talents. Do you want to learn marksmanship? ”

Night Terror Hall was stunned: "The seniors want to take me as an apprentice?" ”

Pei Xiangjun held a spear and pointed obliquely at the ground, and said with a full attitude:

"The Overlord Gun is only passed down to one person in a generation, and he must be at the helm of the Red Flower Building. When you and I met for the first time, we didn't know each other, and it was too early to mention the teacher. Show your ability and conduct first, and if you are qualified, you will be considered to pass on your kung fu and tell you the details of Honghualou. ”

Honghualou is different from the Green Bandits, Pingtianjiao and other forces, it belongs to a very low-key Jianghu force, and it is buried in its own one-third of an acre of land, which is not included in the government's liquidation list.

Born in the night terror hall, he is a person who runs the rivers and lakes, and he can enter this kind of 'decent' style of the wealthy family in the rivers and lakes, and he is cultivated by the giants of the rivers and lakes as the heirs, which is considered a step to the sky.

Night Terror Hall didn't have the intention of apprenticeship, but there was no place to live at present, such a big road was in front of him, and he couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while, so he thought about it and asked first:

"I have admired the name of my predecessors for a long time, and if I have the opportunity to learn a good marksmanship, I am honored to do it. I don't know how the seniors feel about it? ”

"Honghualou is a businessman, and it is very important to be in charge of martial arts, but more importantly, it is through 'human sophistication'. You went to the Pei family today, it seems that you have some origins, and in the past to help the Pei family do things, I will observe the ability and conduct in secret. ”

？

Night Terror blinked, feeling that something was wrong, and carefully looked at the figure of the hatholder, but unfortunately he didn't see anything......

"My father asked me to give the property to the Pei family, and we have nothing to do with each other......

Pei Xiangjun said solemnly: "Let you help, you don't owe each other money to do things, and you don't want you to be a rich young master." You're really embarrassed, it's a big deal not to get paid, and you don't want to do a favor to your relatives? ”

The words are hoarse, and the master is full of temperament, but this rhetoric doesn't sound like a hero...... It's like a woman being coquettish......

Night Terror has some guesses in his heart, but it's hard to confirm, so he still nods after thinking about it:

"Well, just according to the meaning of the predecessors. But I'm a straight-tempered person, kung fu is 'shoes' for me, it doesn't matter whether the shoes are good or bad, I only look at the people who wear them. If you feel that your seniors are not suitable in the future, please forgive me. ”

"Jianghu people should be like this. I came to the door to delay your time, and if I can't do it afterwards, I won't let you rejoice. ”

After speaking, Pei Xiangjun's figure disappeared from the roof and disappeared into the night......
