Chapter 3: Try Again

Just after the sound of the fourth watch, it was still dark, and people had already begun to come and go on the streets of Nanjing.

An old man dressed in coarse cloth walked slowly to a courtyard wall, and when he saw that there was no one around, he jumped into it, the wall was nearly eight feet high, and the old man climbed into it with a little bit of strength on the wall with his palm in mid-air.

As soon as he fell into the courtyard, the caution on the old man's face disappeared, and he even hummed a little tune, lowered his head with his hands behind his back, and walked into the main room with three crutches and two turns, and skillfully lit an oil lamp and was about to walk to the bedside.

Suddenly, the old man sensed a strong wind coming from behind him, and he rushed forward in shock, and the copper oil lamp in his hand was also thrown behind him.

The old man planned to use the oil lamp to stop the sneak attackers and take the opportunity to get his own blade.

Ding

The copper oil lamp thrown out flew past the old man's ear, and he had just rushed out half a step at this time, and there was a sharp pain in his lower back, which directly unloaded the internal force he lifted, and his body was unstable and fell to the ground, and a piece of cold had been attached to his neck.

A deep voice sounded in the darkness behind him: "If you dare to speak out, I will kill you." ”

When Chang Chang, a stainless steel judge's pen was thrown into the old man's hand, and by the faint moonlight, he found that it was his own blade.

The voice behind him said, "If you win me, I'll let you go." ”

The old man couldn't guess the intentions of the people, but he Liu Tong has been famous for 20 years, and he is known as an iron pen and golden dart on the rivers and lakes, and he is confident that with the iron pen in hand, the first-class master can also fight.

The blow on the back just now was not heavy, Liu Tong slowly got up, picked up the judge's pen, and moved very slowly throughout the whole process.

"I turned around" Liu Tong reminded loudly, then slowly turned around, and finally saw the comer by the faint moonlight.

The visitor was five feet away from him, tall and thin, dressed in a simple and energetic suit, with a black scarf on his face, holding a three-foot long sword unsheathed, pointing at him from afar.

It was Li is who secretly attacked the old man, and the iron pen and golden dart were the first sword test stones he found. Li is sword tip was raised, signaling that Liu Tong could attack.

Liu Tong pounced suddenly, and the judge in his hand was in mid-air, instantly covering four or five key points on Li is chest, this move "Starry Sky" is his proud move, fast, accurate, ruthless, and seven or eight moves.

As soon as this move comes out, even the first-class masters on the opposite side must temporarily avoid the edge and let themselves temporarily gain the upper hand, so that there is room to advance and retreat.

It's too slow!

Liu Tong's attack was too slow in Li Shi's eyes, although the moves were exquisite, and it seemed that there were many back moves, if Li was not practicing the "evil sword technique", no matter how high the martial arts level was, he would have to temporarily avoid the edge, but now Liu Tong's subtle move is very ordinary.

The long sword in Li is hand suddenly stabbed out, and the latter gently knocked on Liu Tong's left shoulder, which was the twenty-sixth move of the "Evil Warding Sword Technique" "Meteor Falling".

Liu Tong's left shoulder hurt, only to realize that the other party had already made a move, and his breath was a little chaotic, and the judge's pen hurriedly smashed at the long sword, wanting to take the opportunity to lock the opponent's blade, but halfway through the move, the front of the right thigh was stabbed again.

After being hit by two swords in a row, Liu Tong subconsciously touched the golden dart on his waist, wanting to rely on his other hand to become famous and save the decline, but when his hand was empty, he remembered that he hadn't worn a dart bag for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

Li is testing Liu Tong's strength, so he put his mind at ease and used all the seventy-two "evil sword techniques" on the other party.

Liu Tong was frightened, and at first he would try his best to crack the opponent's fast sword, but after more than thirty moves, he would only wave the judge's pen indiscriminately, so what other moves could there be.

Hearing the sword wind but not seeing the sword edge, Liu Tong became more and more shocked in his heart, the opponent's swordsmanship was fast and dense, he had only heard that the drizzle that betrayed the "black stone" seemed to have such a fast sword, but the person in front of him was obviously a man.

Occasionally, I saw a few moves clearly, but I felt that the sword moves were strange, and they were very different from the swordsmanship seen on the rivers and lakes.

And the man didn't seem to want to kill him, or pierce the skin with the tip of his sword, or slap the spine of his sword instead. This gave him a little hope that he might not be killed.

Suddenly, the fierce sword wind in his ears disappeared, Liu Tong was stunned for a moment, but found that the other party had made another move to kill him, and hurriedly parried.

He just made a subconscious move, and he didn't expect to be able to block it, but unexpectedly, the judge's pen hit the opponent's sword spine, and he dismantled a few more moves, and found that although the opponent's swordsmanship was exquisite, it was not as fast and weird as before, and he was just a draw with him for a while.

Liu Tong used the golden dart as a stunt, and his eyesight was naturally excellent, and he saw that Li was a scar on his right hand. Suddenly, an idea popped up: the opponent's right hand seems to have been injured, maybe the fast and strange swordsmanship can't last, so doesn't he have the hope of turning the tables? For a while, the spirit was lifted, and the judge's pen in his hand was two points sharper.

It turned out that Li was able to easily suppress Liu Tong with the swordsmanship of warding off evil spirits, so he had the idea of trying other swordsmanship, so he used Huashan's internal skills and swordsmanship to fight against the enemy.

Sure enough, after changing the Huashan Basic Sword Technique, Li Shi felt a little difficult, if it weren't for the fact that after cultivating the evil sword technique, he would still react much faster than ordinary martial arts practitioners, and it was really possible to fall into disadvantage.

Reluctantly finished using a set of Huashan basic swordsmanship, Li Shi lost his patience, and once again luckily warded off evil swordsmanship, and picked off Liu Tong's judge's pen with just one move, and the long sword in his hand was pointed at the opponent's heart.

Liu Tong felt a slight tingling in his heart before he realized that the judge's pen in his hand had been knocked off, and his eyes froze instantly, not knowing how to deal with it.

Li took off a dart bag from his waist and threw it on the ground, and asked, "Tell me, where is the dart silver hidden?" ”

As soon as Liu Tong heard this, his face suddenly turned like ashes, knowing that his matter had been exposed.

Liu Tong, the chief dart master of Nanjing Liuhe Dart Bureau, has been famous for more than 20 years, and the people of the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname Iron Pen Golden Dart. Half a year ago, Liu Tong, who had not personally escorted the darts for a long time, went to Fujian and escorted a batch of valuable goods.

As a result, as soon as the dart team entered Fujian, they encountered a strongman robbing the dart, not to mention the loss of the dart, and also broke many good players in the dart game. After Liu Tong returned to Nanjing, the head of the dart bureau did not blame, but he felt that his prestige for 20 years had been lost, and he didn't even know who the robber was, so he washed his hands and withdrew from the rivers and lakes.

The head of the Liuhe Dart Bureau wanted to find a clue to the robber strongman, so he offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, but three months have passed, and there is still no news.

Li Shi saw this reward in the wine shop before and remembered it, and the next day he went to the Liuhe Dart Bureau to learn more about what happened, and he had a goal in mind.

The Lin family has been walking darts for generations, Lin Pingzhi is no stranger to every link of the darts, coupled with the familiarity with the terrain of Fujian, after listening to the story, he suspected that the dart master Liu Tong had a major suspicion, and he directed and acted in the darts.

No one in the rivers and lakes doubts Liu Tong, also because he has been famous for more than 20 years, and his prestige in the rivers and lakes is very high, and everyone is convinced of his character.

Even if some people suspect it, Liu Tong is a second-rate master who has been famous for a long time, and not many people dare to provoke him.

A second-rate master sounds very second-rate, but he is already a rare master in the rivers and lakes, better than most people in the rivers and lakes.

Li is the wine shop where he inquired about the news, don't look at it as a fierce outlaw, but most of them are actually out of the stream, and the third-rate ones are rare.

Li is keeping an eye on Liu Tong, and found that this old guy turned off the lights and went to sleep as soon as it was dark, but at nine o'clock in the evening, he went out over the wall, and even changed his appearance, Liu Tong's destination was the flower boat on the Qinhuai River, which cost a lot of money every night, which made Li is even more convinced that the other party was an internal ghost.

Judging from the performance in the movie, the level of force in the world of "Sword Rain" is far inferior to that of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but it gave birth to the bug-like martial arts of Rama Neigong.

So Li was very cautious, and secretly observed Liu Tong for three days, during which he found some unknown people to practice. In the past three days, he has also worked harder to practice the swordsmanship of warding off evil spirits, and he has consciously improved his martial arts, which is almost on par with Linghu Chong when Lin Ping first went to Huashan, Fang Renzhi, a disciple of Qingcheng, has no problem with one dozen or three now,

Tonight, he tried his skills, and the recognized second-rate master in the "Sword Rain" rivers and lakes was already easy to defeat, and his confidence suddenly increased.

However, if you want to really participate in the competition for Rama's body, at least you must have the level of martial arts of the three great masters of the Black Stone, Lei Bin and Cai Opera Master, and he doesn't know whether these people are first-class or top in this world, or other levels.

However, Li is guessing that no matter how strong these martial arts are, they will be in the middle of Yu Canghai and others.

"It's better to find a few more masters to try the sword." , Li is suppressing these messy thoughts in his head, the top priority is to squeeze out the whereabouts of the remaining dart silver from Liu Tong, what is the most important thing to go to the rivers and lakes? It's silver!

But Li didn't notice that a piece of the roof above his head had been half lifted, and a pair of eyes were staring at him.
