The light rain makes the weather a little cooler, the old streets of Huangquan Town are empty, and outside the old wine shop in the center, the old plaque of 'Huangquan Knife Tomb' shows black and yellow under the infiltration of rain.

Under the eaves, a sturdy man sat on a small bench with a small table in front of him.

A little girl of five or six years old, sitting opposite with pigtails, writing carefully with a brush in her hand, muttered in a low voice:

"Dad, why is Grandpa Qiu gone?"

"It's Uncle Qiu."

"But, Grandpa Qiu is in his fifties, and he asked me to call it that......"

“……”

Xuanyuan Tiangang took a breath, raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's head:

"A martial arts master, his life is long, and it's no problem to call his brother in his fifties. If you meet him again in the future, you will call him Brother Qiu......"

"Gangzi!"

In the wine shop, the proprietress Alan who was wiping the table threw the rag on the table, the frightened little girl hurriedly buried her head in writing, and Xuanyuan Tiangang also sat up straighter:

"Just kidding."

"What are you kidding? The girl is so big, she listens to what you say, she doesn't teach the rules when she is a child, what if she grows up and walks on the wrong path? ”

"Alas......"

The daughter-in-law is undoubtedly the favorite drama of the small people in the market, and the voice came out, attracting the attention of many neighbors, and even the little girl lowered her head and snickered.

After listening for a moment, Xuanyuan Tiangang got up on his knees and walked to the backyard:

"There's no business, I'm going to catch some fish......"

"Don't run, it's getting dark, it's raining heavily, what kind of fish are you catching?"

Alan grabbed Xuanyuan Tiangang's sleeve and dragged him into the house:

"Do you want to go to Junshantai to see the excitement?"

Xuanyuan Tiangang came to the table to pour tea, shook his head and said:

"I retired more than 20 years ago, and I have long lost interest in the excitement of the rivers and lakes. Moreover, Qiu Tianhe's knife technique is not much to look at. ”

Alan was skeptical about this, after all, Xuanyuan Tiangang was born to be a person from the rivers and lakes, and he should live in the rivers and lakes. Being a fisherman in the market who revolves around firewood, rice, oil and salt all day long here, but the situation is forced to draw a prison here.

But as a wife, even if Alan thinks that Xianggong is very powerful, he shouldn't live such a mediocre life, and he doesn't want him to go to the impermanence of life and death again.

Alan thought for a while and said softly: "When my father was the shopkeeper before, he persuaded Zheng Feng when he drank with them, saying that Zheng Feng was not smooth enough to be upright, and he should go outside for ten years before going out of the mountain." Zheng Feng didn't understand at that time, and came to the sentence 'A chivalrous person should be like this', and kept saying that Qiu Tianhe has a lot of crooked brains, not like a pure chivalrous man, what is the result? Decades have passed, everyone knows that Qiu Tian is righteous and Bo Yuntian, and how many people know Zheng Feng's name?

"Your temperament is similar to Zheng Feng, you are young and vigorous and admit death, you can't rub sand in your eyes, you roam the rivers and lakes, it's okay if you don't have an accident, but when something happens, you can't regret it......"

Xuanyuan Tiangang shook his head and smiled: "I have been saying this for more than 20 years, and I am fifty years old, and I am not in my early twenties. ”

"Hmph, you have to listen to it...... Eh, there's a guest coming......"

……

——

Hoof, hoof......

Under the drizzle, two horses that had traveled long distances set foot on the old streets of the town.

Night Terror Hall was dressed in a cloak and a hat, his eyes swept over the gray town, and after a day of running, his eyes also showed a little tiredness.

Beside him, Xuanji Zhenren, who was wearing a long white dress, was neck and neck, wearing a very delicate white cloak, and the saber was wrapped in cloth and hung around his waist, the two of them were black and white, looking like a fairy couple walking side by side in the rivers and lakes.

As soon as the bird woke up and saw the town where there were people, he came to his senses, poked his head out from under the night terror, looked left and right, first at the wonton stall in the distance, and then at the grilled fish restaurant on the street, and put on a look of 'the bird is so hungry'.

Receiving the news in the early morning, Night Terror Hall set off from Jianyang, galloped to Zezhou, took the post road along the way and kept changing horses, and ran nearly 800 miles in a day's time, and came to the northwest of Yunmengze.

Junshantai is on the east bank of Yunmengze, Shuiyunjiantan is on the west side of Zezhou, facing each other across the lake, but the actual distance is nearly thousands of miles, this town is close to the Wuxi Canal, it is a ferry on the lake, and you have to do a night boat to Junshantai.

The night terror hall didn't know whether Qiu Tianhe had come to the door to fight, in order to hurry, he didn't enter the water all the way, and seeing that there was no ferry on the pier, he stopped in the old town and found a place to eat something to replenish his strength.

Xuanji Zhenren runs around all year round, and must have been to Yunmengze, walking beside him at this time:

"Night Terror, do you know where the name of 'Toad Palace Goddess' comes from?"

"I haven't heard Ning'er talk about it, how did it come about?"

"In the past, Luo Ning had just come out of the mountain and wanted to go to Junshantai to see, but the ferry was close to leaving, so she relied on light skills to tread water to chase, wearing a green coat under the moon, her body was like a fairy in the heavenly palace, which amazed countless people in the rivers and lakes, and slowly became the first beauty in the rivers and lakes."

Xuanji Zhenren said this, and looked around at the righteous Night Terror Hall:

"It's a pity that such a good cabbage was arched by that in the end."

？

Night Terror blinked, a little unhappy:

"Fairy Lu, what you say is a bit ......"

"I said Xue Baijin, the dignified leader of the Pingtian Sect and the first person in the world, he actually has the goodness of Longyang, he doesn't love beauties and heroes, and he is blind to Ning'er's appearance. You're still knowledgeable, and you're thick-skinned enough......"

Night Terror Hall knew that because of Ning Er's stupid things, the Emperor Master next to him had a lot of opinions about him, and he could only shake his head and sigh about it.

The two drove side by side through the street, looking for a place to eat, and when they reached the center of the street, Night Terror Hall was suddenly attracted by a plaque on the side of the street:

"Huangquan Knife Shrine ......"

Although the years are long, the handwriting is painted with silver hooks and irons, and the edge is exposed, like a knife carving.

The night terror hall stopped the horses and looked at the old wine shop, where a little girl with pigtails could be seen, lying on a stool and writing in a regular manner.

There were four tables in the wine shop, and the proprietress dressed as a market lady was wiping the table, and when she saw the two of them stopping, she opened her mouth to greet:

"Two guest officers, please."

After looking at the plaque again, Night Terror turned over and dismounted, and asked:

"Boss, what does this plaque mean?"

"The old grave of the burial knife, what my old man used to write, is not interesting."

Alain came to the door, asked the girl to go to the house to write, and glanced at the costume of the night terror:

"Childe is also a swordsman?"

"It's a lot of miscellaneous, and the swordsman can't talk about it. The old shopkeeper's knife technique looks unusual, and ordinary people can't really carve this word. ”

"Oh?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Alain's eyes: "Childe looks like his martial arts are not low." When the old man used to go to the rivers and lakes, he had some skills, but after seeing the crazy teeth, he didn't practice anymore and sold wine here for a lifetime. ”

"Really?" When Night Terror Hall heard this, he knew that the owner of the shop was an old man in the rivers and lakes, and at least a half-step martial arts level figure, so he asked:

"I don't know if the old shopkeeper can be in the shop?"

"Alas~ I left more than ten years ago, and now the shop is run by me and my husband, and I don't ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. The two guest officers are sitting and want to eat something? ”

"Twitter......"

The bird jumped on the stool and pointed its wings at the most expensive garlic grilled saury.

Night Terror beckoned Xuanji to sit down across the table and looked at the menu on the wall:

"A grilled fish, a few home-cooked dishes, a pot of rice, and a pound of good wine, the strongest."

Alain looked at the girl in white with a hat and a quiet manner, and said with a smile:

"My family's wine is not ordinary, the strongest kind, the grandmaster has to pour three cups and five cups when he comes, and the two of them are sure to ask for a catty?"

Night Terror took off his hat and sat down at the table:

"I don't drink, she does. She's struggling...... Hiss-"

Before he finished speaking, Xuanji Zhenren was under the table, stepped on the toes of the Night Terror Hall, and slowly twisted it.

The proprietress smiled lightly, didn't ask much, reported the name of the dish to the backyard, and went to the side to drink.

Night Terror Hall picked up the teapot and got two cups of water, and gave Bird Bird another cup, and asked casually:

"I heard that Qiu Tianhe Qiu Daxia is going to Junshantai to fight for the sword leader recently, and the two of us also came to see the excitement. Does the proprietress know the news? Is there a fight over there? ”

Alan guessed that these two heroes came for this, and responded:

"It's not started yet. What the people of the rivers and lakes are seeking is nothing more than a fame, fighting for the sword, ordinary people are only once in a lifetime, if the battle is not big enough, it is like a night trip in the brocade clothes of the champion. Now there is a boat to pick up people, which means that Junshantai is not overcrowded, and when it is full, it has to make the people of the rivers and lakes wait eagerly, so that it is like the pomp and circumstance of a top grandmaster......"

"Hehe......"

Night Terror nodded with a smile, his heart relaxed a little, and he didn't bother the proprietress anymore, drinking tea with Xuanji Zhenren and waiting.

————

Woo la la~~

Soon, the sound of stir-frying sounded in the backyard, and the appetizing aroma came from the backyard.

The bird looked hungry and jumped down and got into the backyard through the curtain, looking like it wanted to eat.

The night terror hall was afraid that the birds would disturb the little girl who was reading and writing, so she got up and jumped open the curtain:

"Come back."

"Twitter......"

The backyard of the wine store is not very large, and there is an old well in it, and there is a clothesline next to it.

The kitchen is on the left side, with rows of Yunmengze's specialty saury hanging outside, an old wine jar below, and a shed next to it, with a grill inside, and the proprietress is grilling fish in the back.

The bird squatted in front of the grill very well-behaved, looking up at the big fish roasting golden and oily, unable to move its claws at all, and opened its beak to let the proprietress feed it a taste first.

And in the kitchen, a middle-aged man in cloth clothes, stir-frying in front of the stove, tall and well-proportioned, and quite heroic, after looking at the begging birds a few times, he saw the night terror hall come in, and said:

"Childe, this bird is good."

Night Terror Hall smiled and signaled, just about to call back the greedy bird, but Yu Guang was attracted by the main room.

In the blink of an eye, under the middle hall of the main room, a knife was hanging.

The knife is very long, about one meter six, a little longer than the Junshan knife, but the blade is thinner, slightly curved, after the knife is put into the sheath, if there is not a gauntlet at the handle, it looks like a Qi Mei stick

The knife didn't look like it was held very often, it had been hanging for too long, and it had fallen a little dust.

Night Terror felt that this knife was similar to a Miao knife, and I had basically never seen this style on the rivers and lakes, so I couldn't help but take a few more looks:

"The shopkeeper's knife is very special."

Xuanyuan Tiangang turned his head and looked: "It's just that the straight knife has been lengthened by two feet, what's so special?" ”

"It's not just long, it feels like it takes a lot of effort."

Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't mind, Night Terror Hall walked into the backyard and looked carefully:

"I estimate that this knife should not be made of mortal iron, and the weight is around sixteen catties, I don't know if it's right?"

“……”

Alain paused to grill the fish, and raised his eyes to look at the night terrors.

Xuanji Zhenren also put down the teacup and opened the curtain to watch.

Xuanyuan Tiangang glanced at the Night Terror Hall: "How did Childe see it?" ”

Night Terror Hall observed the long knife and got straight to the point:

"The dragon slaying order has the advantage of long blades and great strength, and it fights head-on with a three-foot light knife, which is not much different from a single knife and close to the gun, and it is basically difficult to break the move at the same level. I've thought about a lot of tricks before, but recently I've found that this path is difficult to get through, and it's best to change weapons and use guns to break tricks; But you can't fight for the 'sword' with a gun, so the easiest way to do this is to work on the style of the 'knife'. ”

Night Terror walked to the front of the main room, looked carefully, and continued:

"If you want to receive the dragon slaying order, you can change the heavy knife to be hard, but if you want to win the dragon slaying order in the concept of knife technique, you have to take all aspects into account to the extreme.

"Slaying the dragon makes the knife heavy, but the disadvantage is that it relies on inertia and traces to follow, and it is extremely difficult to change moves flexibly.

"The eight-step mad knife is the fastest in the world, but the disadvantage is that it pursues speed too much, and the interlocking moves are dead, and if you change the move, it is no longer an eight-step mad knife, and it is considered to be extreme, and it is difficult to turn over after being targeted at the move or interrupting the rhythm.

"These two knife techniques are the pinnacle, but they both take the tip of the 'pursuit of perfection', and there are obvious flaws.

"In my opinion, if you want to beat these two knife techniques, you should take the path of 'the mean', with the unstoppable momentum of the dragon slaying order, and the swiftness of the eight-step mad knife, you can attack and retreat and defend, there is no absolute advantage in the world, but there is no obvious shortcoming.

"If you push down according to this line of thought, the knife will not be heavy, light, long, short, fast or slow.

"This knife is five feet long, the blade is slender, can be used with one or two hands, and has the characteristics of both knives and guns; Relying on length and speed, it will not be impossible to get close when encountering the dragon slaying order, the power of the heavy slash is amazing, and the eight-step mad knife is also difficult to parry. I had envisioned this knife shape before, but I didn't expect it to be made by someone in the world. ”

Rustle~~

The small courtyard was quiet after the rain.

Xuanji Zhenren half leaned on the threshold, took off the wine gourd, and took a sip.

Xuanyuan Tiangang stared at the night terror for a moment, showed a smile, put down the spatula, wiped his hand on the apron, and went out to pick up the long knife in the main room:

"There are only knives, no matching knife techniques, how do you break the move?"

Night Terror Hall felt that this shopkeeper was a great power hidden in the city, and said with a smile:

"There are knives, and the most reasonable way to use them is to find out the knife method. This knife can be compatible with stick and marksmanship, taking into account the power of heavy knives and the swiftness of light knives. The shopkeeper has already figured it out? ”

Xuanyuan Tiangang walked out of the kitchen with a long knife and threw it to Night Terror:

"I can't teach you kid, and you don't seem to have to. I can't use this knife, since you can see the way, I will give it to you, I just hope that your boy's hands, don't dirty this knife. ”

Night Terror Hall was quite surprised, took the long knife with both hands, looked at it, and asked:

"Dare to ask the seniors their names?"

Xuanyuan Tiangang returned to the kitchen and continued to stir-fry:

"When you meet in Pingshui, you are confidants with similar interests, so why ask each other's names. Let's leave after eating, and I'm going to be angry when I talk about my mother-in-law again. ”

Seeing that the proprietress was really unhappy, the night terror hall kept glaring at the shopkeeper, so he held a knife and bowed:

"Liang Zhou's night terror, the family teacher is hated Tianhe. I borrowed this knife today, and when I studied how to use it, I came back and returned it to my predecessors. ”

？？

Xuanyuan Tiangang's stir-fry action was another meal, and he raised his eyes, and the meaning of his eyes was estimated to be - have you lied to the ghost? Qiu Tianhe can teach an apprentice like you, I will twist off my head and use it as a urinal for him.

Even though the night terror hall reported to his home like this, Xuanyuan Tiangang still guessed one or two, and waved his hand slightly:

"The kitchen is smoky, go out and wait, it's time to fry the dishes later."

Seeing this, the Night Terror Hall didn't say more, and lifted the bird that was still looking out of the curtain......

——

In the blink of an eye, the town of Huangquan was lit up with lights.

In the wine shop, the night terror hall with a full meal settled the account with the proprietress and then picked up the long knife.

On the wine table, the birds that were full of wine and food may have been overwhelmed, lying on the stool on all fours and refusing to move, posing as a hug.

And Xuanji Zhenren, who was originally dressed in white like a snow fairy, took off his hat, his stunning cheeks were dyed with a touch of red, and he was drunk and lying on the table and gasping softly, looking as if he had just been tossed.

The proprietress glanced at the side, picked up the flask and shook it again, and was amazed:

"This girl is a terrible drinker, and this is the first time I've seen a guest who can drink two pots. You too, a man's family, just get the girl drunk, why haven't you let people drink like this, what if something happens......"

Night Terror felt the suspicion in the eyes of the proprietress and was a little helpless:

"The wine is so good, I asked her to drink less, I can't persuade her at all."

"Why don't you spend the night here? I'll make some decanting soup......"

"No~"

When Xuanji Zhenren heard this, he staggered to his feet and buckled his hat on his head:

"If you still have important things to do, don't bother, bird bird go."

"Twitter......"

When the proprietress saw that the girl could still stand up, she was secretly stunned, and glanced at the dock outside the town:

"There's no ship coming yet, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning. If you're in a hurry, I'll go next door and say hello, and you can borrow a boat. Take good care of her at night, and don't let this girl accidentally fall into the lake......"

Night Terror nodded with a smile, and when he saw that the shopkeeper had not shown up, he thanked the proprietress and then went to the next door to borrow a boat, put the horses in the inn in the town, and went to the dock with long and short weapons.

Soon, the two of them disappeared into the night of the old street.

Alan stopped at the door of the wine store and looked at it for a long time, before the fabric behind him was opened, and Xuanyuan Tiangang walked out of the backyard, standing at his side, looking at the dashing rain curtain outside the eaves.

"Gangzi, who is this young man?"

"It is estimated that he is Zheng Feng's apprentice, and his talent is amazing."

"Oh...... It looks much smarter than Zheng Feng, and if he is Zheng Feng, he must be drinking with his head bored, and he is embarrassed to let the girl get drunk alone......"

"Heh......"
