Chapter Seventy-One: Bloody Hands

The north wind is blowing and the snow is all over the sky! The overwhelming wind and snow roared across the city. As far as the eye can see, the houses, streets, alleys, bridges and roads are all one color. Even the walls of the city were covered in white with frost.

After a day and night, Luoyang froze into a silver city of ice and snow. It wasn't until the morning sun rose that the snow stopped.

The early morning sun stained the snow last night, casting golden long marks, and there were bursts of Qingyue bells in the sky.

On the bell tower of the White Horse Temple in the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, there are monks who begin to ring the morning bell one hundred and eight times from tight to slow.

The monks have not avoided the cold, came to the Buddha hall for morning lessons, began to chant the Lengyan Sutra and the Great Compassion Mantra, the clear Sanskrit chanting reveals the meaning of compassion and joy, the three Buddhas in front of the hall are lowered in their eyes, and the solemn treasure is surrounded by the smoke of the incense stick, adding a bit of ethereal ethereal.

As soon as a ritual ended, the abbot came to find the master of the prison, the abbot of the White Horse Temple, and the old monk of Guangqin came out.

This monk, who made King Yi and the Shaolin masters very scruples, ended his meditation and re-established the council when the wind and clouds were established.

Meng Yishan got up from the big bed in the official office early in the morning, he was a little lazy by nature, but he was also cultivated by Yun Ao and Wang He to practice martial arts. Every morning is the time to practice martial arts.

"It's snowing so hard!"

As soon as Master Meng pushed open the door, he saw that the courtyard was covered with snow for several feet, and it was white everywhere. I was going to give a poem to praise, but I had no culture. Last night, the snow was heavy, and the people were afraid that they would disturb Lord Meng to sleep, and no one went to sweep it, and the snow was piled up in the courtyard.

Lao Meng took the treasure knife, put on his robe and walked out of the room, and practiced the Panwang knife technique in the courtyard!

As soon as the army was broken, the wind was blowing, Huo Huo's green light was dazzling, Meng Yishan made a strong move, and with his body and steps, he pointed east and west, slashed the sky and the ground, the rolling knife changed endlessly, and the Dao Dao knife light burst out with a cold and murderous aura! Dancing to the hearty body like lightning, pounced on an old locust tree in the courtyard, the vigorous action startled the two jackdaws perched on the tree, the two unlucky birds just flapped their wings and flew away from the treetops, they were combined by the bandit knife, and a knife was split into blood powder! The fierce knife swept over the old tree, and most of the crown was cut off by this knife move, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

Lao Meng landed on the ground to collect the recruitment, looked at the results of this knife with satisfaction, and saw that his skills had improved again. couldn't help but smile with a scarred face, and happily flexed his middle finger and flicked the blade, making the broken saber make a string of "buzzing" pleasant sounds!

He caressed the treasure knife in his hand, calming the tremor from the oscillation of the blade, although the knife move was collected, the knife intent contained the heart, and he was always eager to try.

When Meng Yishan danced the knife, he was full of energy, and the snow on his side was cut very messily by the knife, and the marks of each road were deeply drawn on the ground, like a chessboard that had been drawn by mistake. In such a fierce drill, Lao Meng's boot prints only left half an inch on the snow, and the light body technique was already perfected. When his kung fu is deeper, he can reach the inner mastery of "stepping on the snow without a trace".

The early morning warm-up has been completed, put the broken saber into the sheath, the sky is already bright, and it is almost the hour. Master Meng put his clothes in order and set off to go to the yamen in the front yard to do an errand inspection.

After passing through the courtyard, we reached the vestibule. Facing it is a square with a radius of 100 zhang, which was originally the place where the inspection department dried the goods.

At this time, it was the end of the year, Pepsi stopped, and it was empty, and Meng Yishan handed it over to Hao Datong to train his subordinates.

The snow has been swept aside, and the snow ridges have been piled up against the wall, revealing the terrazzo bluestone floor.

Nearly 100 big men wore tight clothes and fought in short fights, lined up in several rows to practice boxing here. The movements of the crowd were strong and powerful, and with the lunges and fists, they retreated and retracted their palms, letting out a powerful roar.

Alive, full of momentum.

Seeing this, the inspector was very satisfied, swept his eyes, and saw that Hao Zhangmen was standing in front of the team, only wearing a jacket on a cold day, although the clothes were simple, but he was in good spirits, and he was practicing a long fist all the way to everyone. At first glance, it is actually the thirteen roads of Changquan that everyone on the rivers and lakes will know.

Hao Datong's body is jumping, from the light and fluttering "swallow copying water" to the fierce and ruthless "left cloud piercing hand", the move is as fast as lightning, but also dignified, advancing and retreating vertically and horizontally, the wind is whistling, and the flutter is as fast as a leopard, which is very in line with the "light as a leaf, heavy as iron" in the boxing classic. ”

The long fist moves were fierce, Hao Datong made a soft roar, his eyebrows were erected, and the bones of his whole body were violent, and he leaned over and threw a punch like a mountain, and the iron fist hit the air, "Click!" "Boom! The strength was uncontrollable, and the ground under his feet was cracked.

Hao Zhangmen condensed his fists, his face was calm, Zhuo stood on the martial field, and beads of sweat on his sideburns slid down, unconsciously wetting the ground. The sun shone across the roof ridge on his body, and the solid muscles stood out with the soaked jacket, and the breeze blew through, looking very free.

In this martial arts performance, Hao Datong's brave and strong skills were extremely courageous, and everyone who watched was stunned. It took a long time for a colorful sound to burst out:

"The head coach is amazing!"

"That's clever!"

"There's a fucking set!"

Lao Meng enjoyed watching it and praised it loudly with interest.

Master Hao was coaxed by everyone, his face was a little embarrassed, and when he saw Master Meng coming, he hurriedly instructed everyone: "Practice according to this way!" Do not get out of shape. ”

He hurriedly greeted Lao Meng and gave a formal salute: "I've seen my lord." ”

Meng Yishan nodded, chuckled and asked, "Brother Hao, have you been here for a few days, are you still used to it?" ”

Hao Datong happily replied: "My lord treats me very well!" His subordinates have good food and clothing in the yamen, and they can show what they have learned and learn martial arts. ”

Lao Meng patted him on the shoulder and scolded with a smile: "What an adult's subordinates!" Listen harsh, don't come to this set! If you follow Lao Tzu, you are all good brothers. ”

Master Hao was a little overwhelmed and said, "That...... The subordinates saw that the old Meng Na was glaring at him, so he had to change his words: "Then the little brother has overpassed." ”

Meng Yishan laughed, and then talked to Hao Datong about boxing and martial arts. He has several great masters to teach, and has mastered the martial arts experience of the Xuanyang Sutra, and when it comes to fist and foot kung fu, he is a first-class master, and he is the way when he talks about it, which makes Hao Datong very admirable.

While talking and laughing, the two walked to the bottom of the porch, and watched from a distance the crowd in the field cheering and kicking their fists and kicks, and the atmosphere was very warm. Meng Yishan looked at it for a while and said, "It's okay to practice." But as soon as it's cold, people are lazy, so you have to keep an eye on the drill for me, don't throw it away. ”

Hao Jiaotou nodded responsibly and said: "Don't worry, more than 400 people are divided into three groups, and they will take turns to intensify training for three days. ”

These men grew up very quickly under his teaching, and they were tempered from a group of rabbles to look good, and Hao Datong wasted a lot of effort.

Lao Meng still felt that the progress was a little slow, and urged him: "You have to hurry up, you can't pick up the lights at night and let them continue to practice, and the salary will be doubled." In two days, you will pick out some more dexterous ones, make up fifty people, and Lao Tzu will personally teach them to bend bows and shoot arrows! I still have to practice horseback riding, and I have to step down this horse. ”

Lao Meng urged Master Hao to practice ruthlessly to strengthen the martial arts of his subordinates, and he couldn't wait to pull out the seedlings to help them grow!

If King Yi gets into trouble, most of his men and horses will have to throw themselves into the rolling torrent of fighting for the world.

In troubled times, it is most important to maintain strong strength. These people are all his personal soldiers, and they feel distressed when they lose a Monsan-thief.

Thinking of this, he shouted at everyone: "Good students follow Hao Jiaotou to practice martial arts!" Whoever is lazy and slippery, Lao Tzu will deduct his silver for a year! No emotion. ”

He tightened his face, and the scar added three points of fierceness, and everyone felt a little furious when he picked up the official authority. I can't help but work harder, and pick up the spirit of twelve points to practice.

Meng Jian smiled with satisfaction and asked Master Hao: "Datong, you have just fought with a long fist all the way. There are a lot of kung fu skills, but it is difficult to practice well, and there is a unique trick in it. ”

Hao Zhangmen groaned and said: "This long fist is the same as the gong frame spread on the rivers and lakes, but the method of exerting force and standing on the pile is very different, it is the ancestor collected the essence of the Wen family's seventy-two shaped fists, fire word gates, thirty-six locks, Yue's even fists and other more than ten families, and the part of the foundation of the Baihua boxing method created, which I have practiced since I was a child. ”

Meng Yishan thought to himself that this Hundred Flowers Fist has some doorways.

"Datong, how many brothers and sisters are there in your sect, and I can find them all with high kung fu, and I can reuse them together! Both the money and the common practice are easy to talk to. ”

Hao Datong shook his head and replied gloomily: "Baihua Boxing was originally passed down from father to son, and it was only when my grandfather was forced to make a living that he opened a small martial arts gym. hung a boxing signboard, and confiscated a few heirs. The only ones who really learned were me and my brother. ”

Meng Yishan was surprised: "Your parents are also masters when they want to come, and they can't recruit apprentices to open a martial arts hall?" ”

Hao Datong said with some indignation: "Most of the people in Luoyang City who want to learn martial arts have gone to the martial arts halls opened by the Shaolin forces and the Lu family, and the rest are occupied by some martial arts masters, or there are people in the government and wealthy martial arts halls!" Small portals simply do not survive. ”

Meng Yishan suddenly realized and comforted him: "It's okay! With your martial arts, sooner or later you will be able to make a name for the sect. ”

Master Hao was encouraged by him, and he felt like he had met a confidant, and some words had been accumulated in his heart for a long time, and at this moment, the bamboo tube rolled out like beans.

"Those martial arts halls with connections and power can easily arrange for their disciples to be in the dart game, or to work as a nursing home in a wealthy household. There are only a few ways out for Baidao martial arts people, and learning martial arts is a future. ”

Lao Meng's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he pondered in his heart, "Let that group of eight lambs eat alone, and only go to those few to learn martial arts, how can this martial arts hall not be fattened when it opens......"

The bandit pondered the idea of opening a museum to teach apprentices. Dart bureau martial arts hall, business inn, brothel restaurant, these are the pillars of the white road of the rivers and lakes. Hao Datong mentioned this stubble, and Lao Meng was moved.

His subordinates are not old, weak, sick and disabled, there are nearly 500 people, all of whom are strong men, which has exceeded the number of inspection departments set by the imperial court by several times! Some are too eye-catching.

If you get another martial arts hall, you can transfer some manpower over, and it will be good to cover people's eyes and ears.

Making money in this way is not the first place, expanding his reputation and recruiting disciples is what he wants.

Lao Meng wants to get involved in this white business, and he is also going to use the martial arts hall as a stepping stone, and by the way, he will say goodbye to the Lu family.

Master Meng was scheming, but his face was silent, and he said to Hao Datong: "You still have a brother?" So does he want to go to the inspection department to work as an errand boy? ”

Master Hao was originally a little happy to be valued by Master Meng, but when Lao Meng mentioned his brother, he was a little speechless, and was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "My brother Hao Tianhe's martial arts are ten times better than mine, and he is the head of the Hao family's generation." It's just that the competition has led to a catastrophe, and now he is far away from home and has no contact. ”

Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh, with an expression that could not look back on the past.

"The income of the martial arts hall has always been meager, and when it was passed on to my father, the situation deteriorated and it was difficult to live. Even so, he did not forget to teach our brothers from time to time: "Don't fight with others, starve to death and don't perform arts, and die poor and don't be thieves." ”

Meng Yishan secretly spat in his heart: "Your father didn't live to understand, poor and rich in martial arts." Isn't it easy to get rich with martial arts! ”

Lao Meng sighed sincerely: "It's a pity! ”

Hao Datong talked about the hardships of the Hao Family Martial Arts Hall, and at the same time watched the people in the martial arts training field practicing his family martial arts, and was a little relieved.

He cheered up and continued: "It is my father's wish to revive Baihuaquan, after the death of my father, my eldest brother took over the martial arts, he is not willing to be unknown in Luoyang, and he is determined to raise his prestige. found the Lu family's martial arts hall to challenge, defeated the opponent's four coaches in a row, and asked for a showdown with the Lu family's hall master. ”

Meng Yishan laughed and said, "That's right! If your father had already subdued the martial arts halls in Luoyang City one by one, and the family went to play the field, Liwei would have become famous after that. ”

Master Hao shook his head when he heard this, and then said: "My brother had a good fight with the owner of that hall, gained the upper hand, and put down the opponent with one palm after a hundred moves. But he practiced a kind of poisonous palm kung fu handed down by his ancestors. Secretly used his hand to break the true qi of the Lu family's pavilion master's body. ”

Lao Meng was thirsty for knowledge: "What kind of poisonous palm?" ”

Meng Jian made himself poisoned, and with Li Qing's help, he was blessed by misfortune, and when he heard about this thaumaturgy of practicing with poison, he wanted to find out.

This palm power is called the "Red Bloody Hand". It is necessary to use a kind of red poisonous snake, "dot the lips" more than 10 pieces, and use the secret heart method to ingest snake venom from the palm of the "Lao Gong Acupoint" every day. After the number of seven or seven, the virulence was exhausted, and the foundation was built, and those who slapped people and animals were helpless, and the child was not at noon. The owner of the Lu family was poisoned and died on the same day. ”

Lao Meng was very moved when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't ask Hao Datong for the palm score and heart trick after all.

This bloody hand sounds ruthless though. Not to mention the evil sect of kung fu, it must be tempered with poisonous power, if it clashes with the innate true qi of the Dao sect he has refined, and if it does not increase his strength, it will be bad luck.

Too much kung fu to practice.

Lao Meng put down the idea of cultivating poisonous skills, and muttered: "The Lu family is not a good horn, once this incident happens, I am afraid that if you don't kill your brother, you won't be able to get out of this breath." ”

"That's exactly the case" Hao Zhangmen recalled with a sad expression: "When the eldest brother came back from winning that day, he was very happy and pulled me to drink to celebrate. As a result, before it was dark, Lu Jiufeng, the head of the Lu family, came to the door, and after the words clashed, he used force in anger! My brother and I fought against Lu Jiufeng, and we were not his opponents. ”

"Seeing that he was invincible, the eldest brother took the opportunity of the palm to throw a poisonous snake out of his sleeve and bite the other party's wrist, taking advantage of Lu Jiufeng's luck to force the poison, he abandoned his home and left, and never returned to Luoyang."

Old Meng Xin said that the boss of the Hao family is yin and ruthless! Throw away his own brother! It's a character! ”

The old man had an impression of this Hao Tianhe, who had never met before, and couldn't help asking: "Your eldest brother just ran away like this, and the Lu family didn't trouble you later?"

Hao Datong smiled bitterly: "Why not, they claim to be a Baidao family, although they didn't take me to their fate." But he smashed the signboard of my family's martial arts hall and never allowed me to live in the city again.

I was afraid that they would plot against me, so I went out to find my brother and wandered on the rivers and lakes for two years. It wasn't until a few months ago that he lived in the county king's mansion as a guard, and followed the king of Yongning County back to Luoyang. ”

Hao's expression was calm and told about this past, but secretly his heart was surging, at that time he could be said to be struggling, and the martial arts hall would not let go. If they wanted to do anything else, the Lu family had already blocked the way out of this down-and-out little martial artist. Everywhere there is a wall, and there is no way to eat and drink.

Later, he finally put himself into the county king's mansion, but was squeezed out by Luo Pinghai, a Shaolin disciple, and was not reused. It's like the current Meng inspection envoy looks at him with green eyes, and he is very gifted.

Hao Datong felt it in his heart, and said to Meng Yishan sincerely: "Fortunately, with the help of the prosecutor, I have become the head of this martial arts sect, and I can pass on my family's ancestral martial arts." Let Baihua Boxing not fall. ”

After that, he bowed deeply to Lao Meng.

Meng Yishan hurriedly supported him and said to Master Hao: "Brother, don't worry! In my case, I will never bury your martial arts, cheer up and train me as a soldier. With my old Meng's wealth, I can't forget you! ”

Lao Meng said with relief: "Although your brother Hao Boss is out, but his own brother, flesh and blood, will come back to you sooner or later." ”

Hao Datong smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Meng, as for my brother...... When he escaped from Luoyang at that time, he changed his name to Hao Tianyan, and made a lot of fame in the underworld, known as the God of Bloody Hands. There has been no news in recent years, I'm afraid it's not good to meet! ”

"Bloody Hands Kill God" Meng Yishan simply remembered this nickname in his heart.
