Zheng Hengzhou thought that it would be difficult to make such a fuss in the city, and it would be difficult to provoke the government to investigate, so it was better to go out of the city first and then make plans. Thinking that Fan Shihao has deep internal strength, after all, he is old, how long can he support such a wild run? He jumped off the roof and ran to the city gates. The officers and soldiers defending the city were about to ask, but he had already slipped out of the city gate. didn't run for long, and heard another shout from behind, knowing that Fan Shihao was still in hot pursuit. Zheng Hengzhou had no choice but to continue running.

After running for several miles like this, Zheng Hengzhou was already so tired that he was panting like a cow, and his feet were not as fast as before. He looked back frequently, only to see that Fan Shihao had always followed a certain distance, not approaching, nor lagging behind, as if he was catching up with his speed. At this point, he finally knew that he could no longer get rid of this old man. He slowed down, closed his eyes, and shouted up to the sky, "When are you going to chase the seniors?" ”

Fan Shihao laughed: "Chase until you can't run!" ”

"If you chase me and leave my arm, I have to run if I can't run!"

"I can't catch you, I don't have the surname Fan, I have to chase if I can't catch you!"

"Senior, is this good?" Zheng Hengzhou gasped. "How about you spare my arm, and I'll stop and let you catch up?"

"You're young, can't you do it so soon?" Fan Shihao sighed. "That's fine. I'll spare you for the time being, and I'll stop talking. ”

Zheng Hengzhou found a big tree on the side of the road and leaned on the trunk of the tree to pant heavily. Fan Shihao walked around the tree, looking at him with a grin. Zheng Hengzhou gasped for a moment, sat down on the ground, and gave a thumbs up to Fan Shihao in embarrassment, and said, "The seniors should be old and strong, admire and admire." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Fan Shihao sat cross-legged in front of him. "When you've rested enough, we'll play again."

"Still playing?" Zheng Hengzhou cried with a sad face. "It's already half a life. I...... I had just suffered an internal injury, and I barely vomited blood. ”

"There is no basis for words. Wait until you vomit blood. Fan Shihao said. That mad dog palm method has just been taught. Since you want to pretend to be a little Cangpai, you naturally have to practice the Cangsong swordsmanship. ”

Zheng Hengzhou spread his hands: "The juniors didn't bring a sword. ”

Fan Shihao flicked his legs and jumped up, and when he landed, he already had an extra branch in his hand. He used his palm as a knife to cut off all the small branches and leaves from the branches and turned them into a stick. He handed the wooden stick to Zheng Hengzhou and said, "Use this." I really let you make a sword, if the old man makes a mistake, it's not a joke. ”

Zheng Hengzhou heard the old beggar's words, and it seemed that he was still testing his martial arts.

He wants to "turn the sky upside down" Fan Shihao is a very famous senior master in the martial arts, and he should not be unreasonable, maybe he likes to pretend to test the juniors. He rested for a moment, stood up, held the sword in his right hand, pinched a sword trick in his left hand, and put on the starting style of Cangsong swordsmanship, and said respectfully: "Senior, please advise." ”

"Okay, I'll teach you!" Fan Shihao said that he would fight, and his palms flew up, like a rain of flowers in the sky, and greeted Zheng Hengzhou from all directions. His style of play is different from Shicai, his palm is fast and dense, compared to Zheng Hengzhou's crazy sand palm method, it is his famous martial arts.

Zheng Hengzhou was shocked, thinking that if Fan Shihao had attacked him with this set of palm techniques as soon as he came up just now, he was afraid that he would be defeated in less than ten moves. At this moment, he had a sword stick in his hand, although he was not shocked, his wrist flicked, and the tip of the stick turned into a little sword flower, sealing Fan Shihao's palm.

Fan Shihao said "Huh", immediately changed his moves, and carried the internal force in his palm, rolling up the fallen leaves all over the ground. Zheng Hengzhou saw the gap between his palms, and stabbed out with a stick, but he felt that the blade of the stick was deflected, and he actually let the opponent's internal strength lead to the side. It turns out that the power of this set of sky-turning palm techniques is that it can use the internal strength in the palm to pull the opponent's moves, and the stronger the opponent's strength, the greater the traction. After he completely controls the opponent's movements, he will end the last move of the palm technique, "Turning the Sky Style", and turn the opponent into the sky.

As soon as Zheng Hengzhou felt that the stick was not going well, he immediately crossed the stick on his chest, compared the sword finger of his left hand, and put on a windward style that was suitable for attack and defense, waiting for the opponent to make a move.

Fan Shihao smiled coldly, stepped forward, his palms were high and low, and he flipped outward. Zheng Hengzhou's internal strength was not continued, he was unstable on his feet, and he rose off the ground under the traction of two palm winds.

He was in danger, changing his sword moves with the wind in his palm, and slashed at his opponent's left wrist with a stick. Fan Shihao shouted "Okay", turned his back palm into a buckle, and went to snatch his sword and stick. Zheng Hengzhou's arm was raised, diagonally over the sword stick, and then he raised it upwards and pointed it at Fan Shihao's throat.

Fan Shihao's expression was awe-inspiring, he turned over and dodged, and at the same time waved two palms, forcing Zheng Hengzhou back with a powerful palm wind. The two sides jumped back, opened their distance, and after standing still, their eyes met, and their faces were full of admiration.

Fan Shihao laughed and said: "Zheng Shaoxia is worthy of being a little cangshou disciple, and his one-handed cangsong swordsmanship makes it superb. The old man is no match for you in terms of moves. ”

Zheng Hengzhou put away his sword and stick. "The seniors praised it falsely. In fact, the seniors only have to use the dragon descending divine palm, and no matter how strong the sword moves of the juniors are, they will also be defeated. ”

"That's right." Fan Shihao was not modest, and then shook his head and said: "I'm strange, Zheng Shaoxia is the senior brother of the head of your faction, why is his internal strength cultivation so much worse than your junior brother?" Even Mao Shaoxia's internal strength doesn't seem to be below you? Your swordsmanship is very high, and the old man deeply admires it, but young people can't just rely on the subtlety of swordsmanship and not have a good foundation of internal strength. No matter how good your swordsmanship is, when you meet a master in the house, it's not that you can't show it? ”

Zheng Hengzhou couldn't explain the matter of Jin Cangjue, but said respectfully: "The seniors have taught earnestly, and the younger generations have kept it in mind. After that, we must work hard and not let our predecessors down. ”

Fan Shihao nodded: "In fact, at the age of a young man, it is not easy to practice this kind of kung fu. Liu Chengfeng's vision for choosing apprentices is quite high. Recently, he has been sensitive, Shi Kefa is burdened with heavy responsibilities, the old man does not dare to trust others, he is a lot of offense in his words, and I hope Zheng Shaoxia will not be surprised. ”

Zheng Hengzhou asked with a smile: "Seniors believe that I am not a fake?" ”

"I've tried the Crazy Sand Palm Technique, and I believe it." Fan Shihao said. "In the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, I went to Diancang Mountain with the Dragon Gang Master to visit the Lingshi, and at that time he once mentioned you, the eldest disciple in the public gate. It's just that I think your internal strength is too poor, and you really don't look like the senior brother of Master Liu, so you want to try Shaoxia's swordsmanship again. After a try, it's really terrifying. ”

Zheng Hengzhou's face turned red: "The seniors made fun of it." ”

"Zheng Shaoxia, when the Lingshi mentions you, there is always regret in his expression." Fan Shihao said. "Don't blame the old man for selling the old man, there is something awkward between the master and the apprentice, you should always be more responsible as an apprentice. Your master raised you and taught you all the skills, even if there is something wrong with him, you should follow him. ”

Zheng Hengzhou's heart was sour, and he let out a long sigh. Maybe he didn't know each other, but he always felt that the elder in front of him was very kind, and he couldn't help but confide his heart to him: "The predecessors didn't know, the teacher had a disabled foot back then, retired to the rivers and lakes, and only hoped that the apprentice would become a talent and take over the door as soon as possible." Six years ago, when the younger generation had just achieved martial arts, and not long after traveling down the mountain, my teacher immediately recruited me back to the mountain and asked me to serve as the head of Diancang. Master has been so kind to me, and I don't know that his old man expects his own son to inherit the line. Back then, I kept refusing to give up, not only offending my master, but also offending my arrogant second junior brother. In the end, I got stiff, so I simply said goodbye to my master and came to the capital on an errand on the grounds that I was concerned about my fame. My teacher had high hopes for me, but I repeatedly disappointed him. I still remember when I left the division, his old man scolded me, saying that I was "willing to be an eagle dog of the court, and don't come back if I go......" He said what he said back then, and his voice couldn't help choking. "Fortunately, the second junior brother fought hard and lived up to the master's high expectations. Otherwise, if I provoke my teacher to be depressed, my sin will be great. ”

Fan Shihao said with a smile: "Zheng Shaoxia turned out to be a man of temperament, and he was having an appetite for the old man, very good, very good." He then asked: "You said to protect Shi Kefa, do you know the purpose of his trip?" ”

Zheng Hengzhou told the truth: "I heard that Lord Zuo Guangdou asked him to do something, which is speculated to be related to the roster of the League for the Protection of the Party. ”

Fan Shihao nodded, and asked again: "This matter is extremely confidential, how did the young man know?" ”

"It was Master Liu Jingxian who asked me to do it."

Fan Shihao said "um" and said, "I see." After all, these officials who have no party affiliation can stay out of the matter. He groaned and looked up. Shaoxia, protecting the party roster is a big matter, Lord Zuo explained that Shi Kefa must go to get it in person, and he can't fake others. The beggar gang was entrusted by others and took on the important task of escorting Shi Gongzi, but unfortunately there was a big incident in the gang recently, and they had to deal with it with all their might, and they couldn't spare much manpower. Now that he knows that Zheng Shaoxia is willing to help, the old man can let go of a big stone in his heart. ”

Zheng Hengzhou said: "Seniors don't have to be polite. It is the duty of my generation to be in danger, and no matter what happens in the hands of any martial arts person, everyone has to take care of it. Then he asked: "I don't know what happened to your gang, but there is a place where the younger generation has made the effort?" ”

Fan Shihao shook his head: "This is the internal affairs of this gang, and it is not enough for outsiders." Shaoxia rest assured, the beggar gang is known as the first gang in martial arts, and there are not many things in the world that we can't deal with. ”

"Yes. The younger generation is too worried. ”

Fan Shihao smiled and said, "The girl next to Shi Kefa is named Ke Wanqing, and she is a disciple of the five bags of this gang. She is responsible for the close protection of Shi Kefa, and she is the leader of the helper, so she can mobilize the gang in times of crisis. The guest girl has good martial arts and wit, and is an outstanding figure of the younger generation of the gang. asked the young man to take care of the point along the way, and work hand in hand with the guest girl to protect Shi Kefa. ”

"The younger generation should do their best and live up to the trust."

Fan Shihao looked appreciative and nodded: "They are staying at the Tiancheng Inn in the west of the city, so please ask Shaoxia to come over and meet later." Let's leave it at that, we'll see a date later. ”

Zheng Hengzhou bid farewell to Fan Shihao, did not return by the same path, went west through the woods, and went around to the West City Gate to enter the city.
