Jiawu City is an inconspicuous wine shop, elegant and idle.

"Yo, your guest is here, take a seat." The shopkeeper hurriedly went out of the door.

I saw an old man and a young man call Hanako in, the old man walked to the couch by the window, took off his shoes and went to the couch, knelt in front of the desk, did not shy away from the mud on his feet, the shopkeeper glanced at it, and said with a smile on his face: "Beggar old, or as usual?" ”

When the old man heard this, he replied ignorantly: "Well, a pot of Xiaoyao Brew, two catties of cooked mutton, two heads of purple garlic, and four Hu cakes." ”

The young man unloaded his sword and knelt on the side of the desk.

Although this wine shop is not large, it is extremely clean and elegantly arranged, with many green plants and flowers, which is indeed incompatible with the image of this old and young.

After a while, the shopkeeper brought up the wine and food ordered by the old and young, and glanced at the money bag beside the young man, and said flatteringly: "Which thief did the beggar and the Tianhang brothers capture again?" When can I bring the villain along? ”

"Little Wu, worry less about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and run this wine shop well with your father. Oh, a tael of silver, don't look for it. The old man picked up the mutton and ate it, and the young man beside him had already poured him full of wine.

Not far from another window desk, two men just sat down, and when they looked up, they saw the old and young dressed in tatters, and one of them said unceremoniously: "Alas, it is really disappointing that such a pickled character came to such a pure and elegant place." ”

The man who spoke was dressed in a light purple suit, with a long face, thick eyebrows, thin eyes, and was tall and thin.

"Brother Han is reasonable, but I don't know what kind of evil this shopkeeper has committed, so he actually let this Huazi in." Another short and fat man in green clothes at the same table said.

The guests at the next table with these two people whispered when they heard this: "The two of you have just come to this Jiawu City, I advise you two to be cautious, the old and the young are very human." ”

"Oh? What's so special? I would like to ask you to elaborate. The man in Tsing Yi asked with his fists clenched.

"This Jiawu is located on the border, and there are many rogues outside the city who block the road to rob and kill people, but since this old and young man, the rogues are almost extinct, and our merchants are a lot more relieved."

"What does this official and military behavior have to do with these two Hanako."

"I really don't know, the young man with the sword on his back is a thief, specializing in killing the thieves and wanted thieves, I don't know how many people he has killed in the past two years, and how many rewards he has received."

"If so, wouldn't this young and old be rich? But why do you dress up like that? ”

"This is the place to be cautious, although this old and young man has received a lot of silver, but he is very generous, often divides the money among the poor, and then looks at the table of wine and meat, but two hundred dollars, but it is given to the store one or two silver."

"Oh, I see, that's disrespectful."

The two foreign drinkers listened to the guest next to them, but their faces were cloudy, and they left after a short time.

A small alley in the city, not far from the liquor store.

"Brother Han, I really have nowhere to find my iron shoes, I have been looking for this old and young man for more than ten days, but I didn't expect to meet here, when will I start?"

"Brother, why bother, you and I will find out the details of these two people first."

"Okay, but then Master Wu is in a hurry."

In the middle of the night, the temple in the west of the city is broken, the statue of the god is lying down, the cobwebs are all over, and the ground can be seen everywhere with broken bricks and tiles, fallen leaves and dead branches.

The snoring in the temple was frequent, and the old man called Huazi to sleep on his back, and the young man also slept with a sword against the wall.

The footsteps outside the temple sounded, I don't know how many people attacked, only heard a few soft sounds of "Tengteng", someone jumped on the top of the temple, and two people in black peeked into the temple through the broken roof, each holding a blow needle in their hands.

The man in black really did this too much, and the four walls of this ruined temple collapsed on two sides, all supported by four pillars.

There was a sound of "bang", the sound of falling tiles and the sound of bricks and stones falling made a succession, and the roof of the temple was trampled on.

"Hang'er, there's an earthquake, let's go." The sleeping old man got up instantly, and before he even had time to put on the tattered linen shoes, he ran out in a panic.

Yitianhang has always slept lightly, and he has long noticed the sound of footsteps, and at this time he has run outside the temple, standing with a sword.

"Good boy, I don't care if the old man lives or dies, I run first." The old man ran out with an unkempt face and a dusty face, and complained.

"Master, there's a guest here." Yi Tianhang said.

"Huh? In the middle of the night, who came to visit the old man again? The old man replied casually.

The three black-clothed people outside the ruined temple looked at the sight in front of them quite helplessly, but they didn't expect the temple to be so unsturdy, and the two black-clothed people who jumped on the top of the temple crawled out of the broken ruins, and the black clothes turned into gray.

"Brother Han? How is this good? A short and fat man in black asked.

"A broken candle is dying, an offspring boy, what are you afraid of, go directly!" The tall, thin man in black replied.

Obedient voice, it is the two strangers in the wine shop during the day.

Under the moonlight, the five men in black surrounded the old and the young.

"Who?" The young man also asked.

"Debt collectors." The tall and thin man in black said.

The old man called Hanako slapped the floating ash on his body and said, "The old man never owes people two taels of silver, where does the debt come from?" ”

"Stinky Hanako, what such nonsense! Do it! The tall, lanky man in black pulled a soft sword from his waist.

As soon as the words fell, two flying needles struck the old and young behind, and it was undoubtedly the two "gray men" who launched the blow needles.

The three black-clothed men on the front drew their swords at the same time, one soft sword, two Qingfeng long swords, the soft sword stabbed straight at Yi Tianhang, and the two long swords greeted the old man.

The old man seemed to still think that his scruffy robe was dusty, and leaned down to caress the hem of his robe.

I only heard a muffled snort, and a black-clothed man who attacked the old man fell on his back, and under the moonlight, a flying needle on the door of the person's face had not reached the end of the end, and he was already foaming at the mouth, and he struggled for a few times before there was no movement, and the silver needle was coated with the poison of blood sealing his throat.

The short and fat man in black saw his companion fall to the ground, and was surprised, the long sword in his hand hesitated for a moment, but the old man happened to get up, and put one shoulder on the hand of the man in black holding the sword, the long sword fell to the ground, and the old man raised his hand and pressed it to the chest of the man in black, as if he did not stand firm and wanted to find something to help.

The short and fat man in black seemed to have been hit hard, and he only muttered "Brother Han" and collapsed to the ground, and the old man turned to look at Yi Tianhang, as if nothing had happened.

With just a few breaths, the two men in black died.

Yi Tianhang has already fought with the thin and tall man in black, this "Brother Han" does have some ability, the soft sword in his hand is like a snake flying, Yi Tianhang is unable to support it alone, and he has been injured by many swords.

The old man didn't help, just stood aside and watched.

The two "gray-clothed men" who stepped on the roof of the collapsed temple saw their companions fall inexplicably, stunned for a moment, skimmed the needle and needle, and then each swung their swords to kill the old man.

The old man didn't fight back, he only walked barefoot within those few steps, his sword flashing, but he couldn't touch him at all.

The tall and thin man in black had already noticed the movement here, although he didn't see how the old man killed his two companions, but it was obvious that the old man's martial arts were not weak, at least he should be about the same as him.

The thin and tall man in black easily forced back Yi Tianhang with a sword, and said: "I can't imagine that there are masters in this land, called Hanako, who are you?" ”

"The dead." The old man said.

"Nonsense, if you don't tell the truth, Lao Tzu will kill this kid first." The tall and thin man in black shouted.

If this thin and tall man in black knew that this old man called Hanako was not the kind of "master" he thought, but a kendo master who could transform into a vapor form and hurt people in the air, it is estimated that he would have knelt on the ground and begged for mercy at this moment.

Yi Tianhang was despised by the thin and tall man in black, his eyes were instantly sharp, and he slashed at his neck with a swing of the sword, and the thin and tall man in black blocked the sword, holding the sword in one hand and holding the sword body with the other, and easily blocked Yi Tianhang's long sword, but the soft sword was bent by force, and the blade of the sword was straight to Yi Tianhang.

Yi Tianhang retreated, and the thin and tall man in black followed, only two or three steps away.

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, he simply kicked the ground to stop the retreat, did not retreat but advanced, stabbed the sword in his left hand and stabbed the man in black in the chest, and his right hand did not know what he groped behind his back.

The tall and thin man in black took a step, moved his waist down, and stabbed Yi Tianhang in the lower abdomen with a sword.

Yi Tianhang's sword pierced the air, but the soft sword of the man in black pierced Yi Tianhang's waist and abdomen, and the two of them seemed to be frozen.

The thin and tall man in black lunged down his waist, leaned forward, stabbed obliquely with a sword in his right hand, and also stood in a standing position, holding a sword on the right shoulder of the man in black with his left hand, and pressing his right hand on the neck of the left shoulder of the man in black.

"Sky Flight!" Seeing this, the old man shouted, and in a hurry, he slapped over the two "gray men" with only two or three palms, and came to Yi Tianhang's side in an instant.

"It's fine, Master, there's a skin injury." Yi Tianhang grinned.

The old man hurriedly stepped forward to check, and the soft sword only pierced the young man's skin.

"Fortunately, the old man thought that he was going to send the white-haired man to the black-haired man." The old man said with a long sigh of relief.

"Well, why hasn't this man moved?" The old man asked.

I saw Yi Tianhang's right hand pressed on the neck of the tall and thin man in black, with a silver needle between his fingers, and the man was foaming at the mouth and out of breath.

"It's a pity that you killed him, and the old man still wants to ask him about something." The old man said.

Yi Tianhang pulled out the soft sword at his waist and abdomen and threw it aside, kicked the man in black with one kick, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his head, and said: "You are a master, and the apprentice doesn't know how to help when he is in danger." ”

"Haha, the old man is still very confident in his apprentice, but I don't know when you will practice the trick of catching flying needles." The old man laughed wryly.

"Stinky old man, if it weren't for that flying needle shooting into the scabbard, you would have to take another high-ranking apprentice." Yi Tianhang glanced at the old man and said.

Yi Tianhang was actually a one-for-one style of play just now, dangling a sword in his left hand, but the killing move was a poisonous needle touched from the scabbard behind his back.

"Alas, 'Worship Immortal Knock', the sword move of the Beicang faction, how could this high-ranking disciple of the Beicang faction come to this southwest border?" The old man muttered to himself.

"Beicang faction?" Worship the immortals'? Yi Tianhang asked.

"That's right, when this killer pulled out the soft sword before, the old man guessed that he was a disciple of the Beicang faction, and the move he stabbed into your lower abdomen just now was the move of the Beicang faction." The old man replied.

While the two were talking, a "man in gray" was struggling to get up.

Seeing this, Yi Tianhang looked at the old man, who was quite embarrassed, and whispered: "Old, old, this palm is not as strong as before." ”

After saying that, the old man strode to intercept the "gray-clothed man", clicked on his acupoint a few times, and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you come to me to trouble Hanako? ”
