Volume 1, The Wind Rises in Shu Chapter 12, Asking and Fighting
The lake in the early morning is foggy like a dreamy fairyland, a lotus leaf is like a green jade, a lotus flower, and it is suspected that the fairy beauty sprinkled the pink delicacy, so the picture scroll is like a Yao Pond.
On the top of the octagonal pavilion in the center of the lotus pond, a man in a white robe and a long shirt stood quietly with a folding fan, and more than ten people from Situ Jianzhuang surrounded the four shores of the lake.
Hu Hai was lying in the lake corridor coughing up blood, obviously an internal injury, Zhao Daochang took a stride closer, and then pointed at the three acupoints of Neiguan, Lung Yu, and Jizhong to stop coughing up blood.
Hu Hai, who was over the middle of the year, almost cried when he saw Zhao Zhengli, although he had no worries about his life, but being beaten like a monkey really made him angry, and there was no room for resistance in the face of the grandmaster, and at this moment he naturally felt aggrieved when he met Zhao Daochang.
"Leave it to me!"
Zhao Daochang patted him on the shoulder, it was also difficult for him, he encountered the grandmaster twice, but he was seriously injured twice and he was also a blessing in disguise, which helped him somewhat in the realm.
A middle-aged man in his thirties and forties is comforted by a boy in his teens, and this picture does not seem to have the slightest sense of disobedience, but is very inspiring.
Zhao Daochang raised his head and looked seriously at the white-robed man at the tip of the pavilion, with a wide belt around his waist, inlaid with gold and jade, and holding a folding fan in his hand.
The people in the pavilion were naturally looking at him, proudly shaking the folding fan with their hands, and their tone was flat: "Qingcheng sent Zhao Xiaotian, can you ask one today?" ”
In just two sentences, Zhao Daochang suddenly felt refreshed, obviously the other party came prepared, and he didn't know anything about him.
The man seemed to see what he was thinking, put away the folding fan and swiped it out of thin air, only to hear "Hiss! With a bang, the folding fan was like a sharp blade and drew a crack in mid-air, and the surrounding true qi continued to tear, and the crack in the middle of the folding fan closed with it.
The eyelids of the appearance jumped, what kind of means is this? Actually cut through the void directly?
Zhao Daochang's eyelids also jumped: "Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Danxia, Breaking the Heavenly Gate!" ”
In just three words, the mystery was broken, and it also scared the people of the rivers and lakes, Longhu Mountain is the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and it has been a special sect in the temple and the rivers and lakes for more than ten years.
The white-robed man looked down at Zhao Zhengli in the corridor, with a gloomy expression: "I heard that Zhao Daochang has been ignorant for ten years and has entered the Tao once, although you and I are the same generation, we have never communicated, this time there is no political purpose, personal grievances, Song Maoling just asked a question." ”
Zhao Zhengli's expression was solemn, Song Maoling was a royal man, he studied under Zhao Hongyun, the national teacher of Daqing and the old heavenly master of the dragon and tiger, and he cultivated "Danxia" and was proficient in Zhao Guoshi's "Dragon and Tiger Duel", the key is that he is still a few years older, no matter how you look at it, it is not good for him Zhao Zhengli.
Walking in the rivers and lakes naturally can't lose face for the sect, not to mention that the person who came is still the Heavenly Master's Mansion, although the tone and posture are arrogant, it is also the capital of others, Zhao Zhengli said with red lips and white teeth: "Then it will be ugly in front of the Dragon and Tiger Daoyou." ”
Zhao Daochang thought about it, Qingcheng Mountain has always been closed to the world, plus these special periods in Shu, less and less with the dragon and tiger, Wudang for the position of the temple, this time to participate in the Shu issue, those Taoist courts will also appear sooner or later, it is better to take it quickly.
Song Maoling, who was dressed in a white robe, saw him agree, and closed his fan and concentrated: "Just ask for a folding fan!" ”
Zhao Zhengli in the corridor below is also ready to go, extremely dignified.
What is "asked?" That is, the contrast between the two people's perceptions, whose depth is it? Who's shallow? Whoever has flaws, who is also perfect, the question is very mysterious, it is not a comparison of realm strength, but it is better than the realm comparison, the Dao heart is unstable, and even leaves hidden dangers such as self-doubt and exhaustion.
The Three Thousand Great Avenues are different, but they are also the same, and asking questions is a contest between the two Dao hearts.
In addition to "asking" and "borrowing the way", borrowing the way is the weak to the strong to admire, so the monks in the rivers and lakes all admire the strong and follow the footsteps, this is "borrowing the way".
Although the risk is extremely high, it is the most direct way to review oneself and find the gap between the strong one.
Being able to survive is more stable and his Dao heart is stronger, which is also the reason why Hu Hai was severely injured by the grandmaster twice and was blessed by misfortune.
In the early morning, the white fog on the lake gradually dissipated, the white-robed Song Maoling at the top of the pavilion, and the plain-shirted Zhao Zhengli standing quietly in the corridor, both of them leaned down and leaned up, their eyes revealing confidence.
Separated by less than ten meters, the air was silent, and the white mist scattered from the lake gathered around the two of them, which was a strange scene caused by the mental power of the two grandmasters.
The people in the rivers and lakes from all sides of the river retreated a few meters, and Hu Hai took this opportunity to retreat towards the shore with a limp.
The two of them did not have flashy moves, superfluous movements, and looked at each other from afar, and the people in the rivers and lakes who watched only felt that the white fog on the lake was gathering more and more, forming two whirlpools around the two of them, and the surrounding air currents were also speeding up.
Just when everyone tensed their nerves, Song Maoling on the roof of the pavilion waved his fan and shouted softly, "Go!" As if a fairy flicked his hand, he saw the mist whirlpool around him whistling away like a raging wind.
Zhao Zhengli, who was standing quietly in the corridor below, pointed forward with his bare hands at the same time, and his powerful mental power drove the whirlpool to rush and attack.
There was a "whirring" wind sound in the air, and the two white mist vortices collided at an alarming speed, without the expected destructive power, and the aftermath of true qi, some were just the white mist colliding with each other, alternating and mixed.
Suddenly there was a great change in the white mist, the air was shattered like powder, and then it was restored in an instant, and then it was broken again, and it was circulated in turn, and the dragon roar and the tiger roar were faintly heard, and the Tao rhyme of one and ten thousand was one, and the air was repeatedly shattered and saw the evolution of black and white, yin and yang.
These images are like fragments of a dream fleeting, and the viewer only feels that they pass by, and at most they can capture one or two images, but even then they still benefit the viewer a lot, because these chaotic images are the perception of the "Dao" by the two young masters.
The white mist dissipated after only a few breaths, and the lake returned to silence, leaving the two people who were still looking at each other in place, without joy or worry.
In the end, Zhao Daochang gave his hand first: "The Dragon and Tiger Duel and the Danxia Dao Law have taught Xiaodao." ”
Song Maoling didn't expect the other party to be polite to him, his eyes were a little more respectful, and his speech was still tepid: "I have also learned the Taoism and qi of the Qingcheng faction." ”
He flicked his sleeves and added: "Due to identity reasons, this Dao can't help, but I will wait for Daoist Zhao to finish dealing with Shu and then learn some Taoism." ”
Without waiting for Zhao Daochang to disagree, he jumped out of Situ Jianzhuang and disappeared from vision.
In just a short contact, the people of the rivers and lakes felt that Song Maoling of Longhu Mountain had a noble posture and elegant conversation, and with the means just now, he felt that he was as high as the son of Tianjiao.
And Zhao Daochang thinks he is pretending! deliberately shows the world a light and breezy image. But it's not broken, who made the family born noble, the teacher is also Longhu Mountain, everything presses him, let him continue to pretend.
No one knows the outcome of this question, including the person himself. However, for the people who were fortunate enough to watch the rivers and lakes, they were very inspired, and hurriedly said goodbye and left, taking advantage of the aftertaste of inspiration to retreat and study, even the owner of the village, Situ Qing, rarely retreated after explaining the affairs.
。
At that time,
On the top floor of the attic of the majestic palace, two old men play a chess game. One is a monk's robe, and the other is a Taoist robe.
The old man in the monk's robe said: "There are only two games of chess in this world, one in the rivers and lakes, and one in the temple. ”
The old man in the Taoist robe looked closely at the nineteen-way chessboard: "Just because I don't understand, you might as well give it a try first!" ”
"Aren't you worried about your disciples?"
"Why worry? Growth must be experienced! Sooner or later, Shu will be stable, and the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism will also be included in the candidate list. ”
"I heard that Shu has close ties with the remnants of Nanzhao and has dealings with the Tubo national teacher, and the old monk is afraid of ......"
"Shu can't be messed up, after all, there are two or three great grandmasters here."
"I hope so."
The next two immersed themselves in the chess game.
。
Zhao Daochang had an understanding, returned to the courtyard after breakfast, and just after entering the meditation, he suddenly opened his eyes, and walked out of the courtyard one by one, and a few ups and downs came to the outside wall.
Two middle-aged men were already waiting for the wall, the strong one was carrying a double iron sledgehammer on his shoulder, and the thin hand pestle and big knife were sitting on the wall.
Zhao Daochang looked at the two of them with his hands in his hands: "If you guess correctly, you two are here to avenge the head bandit Cao Mengning!" ”
Shi Ran sat on the wall with a big knife and raised his slightly black head and asked: "Boy, is it a name for profit when you first entered the rivers and lakes?" ”
Zhao Zhengli didn't answer and asked: "Are you planning to buy me?" ”
Recklessly carrying the hammer and grinning with yellow teeth, he smiled: "People die for money, and birds die for food." You make an offer! ”
The pink-haired and white-faced Zhao Daochang grinned with a mouthful of white teeth and said with interest: "What price do you two think I am worth?" ”
The two of them really looked at each other carefully: "It looks like the top card of Yihong Courtyard, and the Tao is also terrifying and scary, and it is estimated that it is worth three or five hundred taels of silver on a monthly basis, right?" If you have the heart, we will go back and ask the owner, the price is negotiable. ”
Zhao Daochang hurriedly asked, "Oh? What is your owner's name? ”
The two exchanged glances for a moment: "There is no comment for the time being!" Be honest and we may introduce you! ”
Zhao Daochang simply sat on the wall, and the three of them were five or six meters apart: "Your owner's name is Liu Yuandong, who is the cousin of Liu Yuanji, the county guard, and built a mountain villa more than ten miles away from the county guard's mansion, named Wolong Villa, and recruited a group of scum to do some things like stealing chickens and touching dogs." After speaking, he turned his head and grinned: "I'm right, right?" ”
Shi and Lu were stunned for a moment, and then the more they listened, the more angry they became, comparing themselves to the scum of the rivers and lakes, and what they did was called stealing chickens and touching dogs? The already dark faces of the two of them were purple like pig's loins due to anger and congestion, and the reckless hammer smashed on the wall, directly sinking into two holes, and roared: "The kid doesn't know what to do, what about entertaining the two of us?" ”
Zhao Daochang, who looked indifferent, buckled the wall tiles: "It's you two who entertain me first." Am I like a man who succumbs to money? ”
Then he slowly got up and patted the dust on his buttocks, but unfortunately his fingers buckled the wall tiles and left two five-paw prints on his buttocks: "You smashed the wall, I had to smash your dog's head." It's okay to smash it yourself. ”
After speaking, Zhao Zhengli immediately exploded a punch, and the transformation true qi smashed into the two leading bandits like a giant's fist.
When the two of them couldn't defend themselves, they were hurriedly smashed back from the wall and fell outside the wall of Situ Jianzhuang.
The two scolded and got up: "Damn, we don't talk about martial arts than us, see if grandpa doesn't kill you." ”
After speaking, Shi Nian raised his knife and slashed in the air, recklessly holding a double hammer to follow.
The pink-headed and white-faced Zhao Daochang was on guard, after all, the other party was two genuine grandmasters, and a little carelessness was enough for him to drink a pot.
Such a big movement naturally disturbed Situ Jianzhuang, Lao Yue tied a bandage in one hand and held an iron rod in the other hand and shouted: "Dao Chang takes the stick, use Lao Yue's iron rod to call them to death." ”
Zhao Zhengli took the stick thrown by the strong man Lao Yue, and sank slightly, this weight is really solid, he danced twice to repel a knife and two hammers, and kept complaining in his mouth: "Lao Yue, I don't look for a partner, I use all my strength to pick up the stick." ”
"Which stick is the Taoist talking about?"
“……”
The Taoist is long and speechless.
Seeing that the blow was unsuccessful, Shi and Lu hurriedly gathered momentum to attack, and the big knife and hammer attached to the true qi were like divine weapons, destroying the towering high wall full of holes.
Zhao Daochang took the initiative to greet him with an iron rod, and led the battlefield out of Situ Jianzhuang, and fought in a group in the open field, which was also the place where Cao Mengning was beheaded a few days ago, and it was spacious and unhindered.
The stick method is widely spread in the rivers and lakes of Buddhism, Zhao Dao is profound, based on the Qingcheng stick method, with the Wudang Eight Immortal Stick and the thirteen basic stick methods, and then there is the blessing of true qi, casual horizontal push, straight point, oblique sweep, vertical split single style are all and its profound.
Lao Yue in the distance is extremely slippery and learns, although he can't keep up with the Tao, but every move is like a fake.
Zhao Zhengli, who fought more than ten moves, used a stick to "reverse the vibration of Qiankun" to force back the "volley split", and then turned sideways to "wrap the cloud stick around the waist", one-arm oblique splitting and pulling the stick, and collided with two iron hammers, sparks splashed everywhere, and the true qi flew horizontally, even if it was chaotic, Zhao Daochang was still at ease, and the melee had passed more than 60 moves.
Shi Nian saw the opportunity to attack from behind, stabbed his neck with a knife, and then bent down to hold the handle of the knife in a circle around his wrist, and his arm used his strength to slash Zhao Zhengli's ankle, recklessly taking the opportunity to cover and contain Zhao Daochang's attention, and striking with a double hammer.
Lao Yue, who was watching the battle, tensed his nerves and reminded: "Dao Chief, beware of the rear. ”
Obviously, Lao Yue was unnecessary, Zhao Zhengli stabbed the reckless wrist with the help of the length of the iron rod, the double hammer fell, and the big knife on the lower plate was also close to the ankle, and Zhao Dao Chang slashed with a stick between the moments, kicking the back of the neck of the stone grinder below, and kicking the reckless face of the lost hammer.
The two of them both retreated, Zhao Zhengli took advantage of the recklessness of kicking and throwing the hammer with a stick, and there were hundreds of catties of one kick plus true qi, and his feet reached his face, and a mouthful of yellow teeth spewed blood.
The rear stone grinded the knife and slashed it immediately, nearly ten meters of transformation knife qi came from behind, Zhao Daochang hurriedly lifted the stick and swept back, the true qi exploded, and the aftermath shook several meters.
Zhao Zhengli didn't even confiscate the stick and saw four or five hidden weapons hit in the aftermath of the shattered true qi, and he couldn't avoid it, and when he turned over with a carp, he smashed two iron hammers from above, avoiding the unavoidable stick to resist.
"Bang dang!"
Two hammers smashed on the iron rods, and Zhao Zhengli's back sank into the ground for more than a few centimeters.
"Whew!"
Then the left arm struck the bright and dangling broadsword, Zhao Zhengli pushed away the hammer with all his strength, rolled close to the ground, and then jumped into the air with a stick, only to hear the loud "boom" below, the hammer fell into the mark he left, and the big knife of the true qi transformation also slashed from below him.
Zhao Daochang sighed and sighed that he couldn't take risks next time.
The three of them have been fighting for more than 100 rounds at the moment, Shi Nian and Reckless are both angry, both are in the realm of grandmasters, although the other party's realm has an advantage, but the combined efforts of their two grandmasters have not been able to hurt a bit, the other party is an old antique They also figured it out, and they have an advantage in a hundred battles, but they are a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young boy, where to put their faces when they pass it out?
Zhao Daochang, who has pink and beautiful eyebrows, has repeatedly fought to make him red-faced, although his body shape can't be said to be embarrassed, it is not good-looking, after all, the three of them are all grandmaster realms, even if he has an advantage in the realm, he can't help the two of them for a while, and the two of them can't do anything about him, the only thing to watch out for is that they make secret weapons.
Daochang Zhao was waiting for Li Zhanyi, the guest of the Yu family, and had already scolded the woman a hundred times in his heart, and he had been watching the fire in the dark, and he didn't know whether to test him, or to hold a grudge against her last time Qingcheng Mountain defeated her in ten moves.
Even if the woman doesn't make a move, give him time to attack them one by one.
The three of them have passed hundreds of moves, and the cumulative number of rounds is no less than 300 rounds, Zhao Daochang dodges the hidden weapon no less than ten times, he recognized the opportunity, and swung a stick with all his strength towards the recklessness who was wounded earlier by him, "Dao Yihua Wan", hundreds of true gas shaped sticks overlapped on a stick, and the reckless and avoidable went all out to raise the hammer to resist, only to hear a "clang", his double hammer has been shaken away from his hand, and the remaining half of the stick he bowed his head and resisted with his back, at the cost of falling down with blood like a fountain.
At that time, Zhao Zhengli in his back obviously felt that there was a peerless knife, and it was also mixed with a dart hidden weapon, and he planned to swing a stick to resist this knife and block the hidden weapon with a stick.
This blow Zhao Daochang was going to be a little injured, and Lao Yue saw that his fists were bursting, and he only hated that he couldn't help.
Bang Bang Bang!
Suddenly, two scimitars like moon arcs broke through the air and scattered the darts, and the remaining transformation true qi Zhao Daochang swung his stick and crushed it.
"Poof!"
The Moon Arc Scimitar spun around in mid-air and returned the same way, when a gorgeously dressed noblewoman came through the air, and her hands were firmly in mid-air to catch the double blades.
Daochang Zhao scolded his mother in his heart, he didn't show up until he was finished, are you embarrassed?
But thinking that she had just blocked the dart at the critical moment, it made me feel much better.
