In an elegant hall in the yamen of Yichuan City, Neng Jin entertained Taihao. He personally brewed a pot of fragrant tea for Taihao, and the fragrance of the tea overflowed, as if it could soothe all the disturbances of the world. Taihao took the teacup and took a sip, feeling the tranquility and peace.

Subsequently, Taihao told Neng Jin in detail about the bizarre theft he encountered in the "Jianghu One Dream" inn. Every detail he describes comes to life, as if those images are being reproduced right before his eyes. After hearing this, Neng Jin frowned, obviously very puzzled about this matter.

"Yichuan City has always been safe, and thefts rarely occur, not to mention the loss of Lord Taihao's weapon." Neng Jin pondered for a moment, and said in a firm tone, "Lord Taihao, please rest assured, this matter will be handled by the subordinates, and we will do our best to retrieve the stolen weapons for you." ”

When Tai Hao heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. He knows very well that he can be promoted, loyal and upright, and will do what he says. He said gratefully: "Thank you General Neng Jin, I have you in this matter." ”

Neng Jin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Taihao doesn't have to see outside, now the city lord of Yichuan City is going out to find out the people's situation, maintain law and order in the city, and ensure the safety of the people, which is where the responsibility lies." Retrieving your weapon is even more important. ”

Tai Hao took a deep breath, and a solemn look appeared on his face. He arched his hand at Neng Jin and said sincerely: "No matter what, I still have to thank General Neng Jin." For me, that sword is not only a weapon, but also carries many important memories and emotions. Its theft was a big blow to me. ”

Seeing this, Neng Jin immediately waved his hand to indicate that he was not polite. He looked at Tai Hao with a firm gaze and solemnly promised: "Lord Tai Hao, please rest assured, I will do my best to retrieve that sword for you within three days." This is my commitment, and it is also my responsibility as the general of Yichuan City. ”

When Tai Hao heard this, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes. He nodded and said softly, "That couldn't be better." With the help of General Neng Jin, I believe that this matter will be resolved satisfactorily. ”

At this moment, Neng Jin suddenly changed his words and asked curiously: "Lord Taihao, I don't know why you suddenly came to Yichuan City?" Are you passing through here, or are you visiting friends and family? ”

When Taihao heard this, after a little hesitation, he decided to tell him frankly. He looked at Neng Jin with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I can't hide it, I came here to find an old man from the north. ”

When Neng Jin heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously unfamiliar with this name. He asked, "I wonder who this old man is?" Is it very famous in the rivers and lakes? ”

Taihao nodded, and his expression became solemn. He whispered, "His name is Tu Poison Mo, and he is an extremely mysterious and dangerous old man. I wonder if General Neng Jin has ever heard of his name? ”

When Neng Jin heard this, his face suddenly changed. He looked at Taihao in surprise, as if he had heard an incredible name. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his mind, and then said slowly, "Poison Slaughter? I've heard the name a bit. He is said to be a notorious martial arts master from the north, who acted secretively and cruelly. Lord Taihao, what do you have to do with him? ”

Tai Hao was silent for a moment, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "I do have some entanglements with him. But please rest assured that General Neng Jin is not here to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, but to find him and settle some past matters. ”

After listening to Taihao's narration, Neng Jin frowned, as if searching for the memory of Tu Poison Mo in his mind. After a while, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, he nodded, and said to Tai Hao: "Lord Tai Hao, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have heard of this Poison Slaughter Ink you mentioned, I seem to have heard of it in a martial arts hall in the south of Yichuan City. Some time ago, when I went to visit an old friend at that martial arts gym, he did mention the name. It is said that Tu Poison Mo once stayed in the martial arts hall for a while, but then left in a hurry. I didn't pay much attention at the time, but now that I think about it, it might have something to do with your search. ”

When Taihao heard this, a surge of hope suddenly surged in his heart. He hurriedly asked, "General Neng Jin, do you remember the name of that martial arts hall?" Can you let me know? ”

Neng Jin pondered for a moment, and then said: "The name of that martial arts hall is 'Yinan Martial Arts Hall', and the owner of the hall is called Tie Sanhu. Lord Taihao, you can try your luck there, and you may be able to find traces of the Poison Slaughter Ink. ”

When Taihao heard this, he immediately stood up with a resolute expression. He arched his hand and said to Neng Jin: "Thank you General Neng Jin for providing this valuable clue, I will go to the Yinan Martial Arts Hall to find Tu Poison Ink." For the matter of looking for weapons, please ask General Neng Jin. Please notify me as soon as there is news. After I find the Poison Slaughter Ink, I will come back to meet General Neng Jin. ”

Neng Jin also stood up and bowed in return. He said solemnly: "Lord Taihao, please rest assured, I will immediately send my men to find your weapons." ”

Taihao left the Yamen of Yichuan City, full of expectation and determination. He walked through the bustling streets and came to the southern part of the city. The Yinan Martial Arts Hall is located in the heart of this area, which is particularly eye-catching.

When Tai Hao approached the martial arts hall, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him. The gate of the martial arts hall stands majestically, like a silent guardian, guarding the martial arts secrets and master-apprentice inheritance in the martial arts hall with its solid body. The lintel is engraved with four big characters of "Yinan Martial Arts Hall", each of which is powerful, revealing an unbeatable domineering.

On either side of the gate, a pair of stone lions stood majestically, their eyes shining fiercely, as if they could perceive all incoming enemies. The base of the stone lion is carved with exquisite patterns, and each line is smooth and powerful, showing the breadth and profundity of martial arts.

Taihao gently pushed open the door, and a dull "squeak" sounded, as if telling the long history of the martial arts hall. Behind the door is a spacious courtyard with a clean and tidy bluestone-paved floor. In the center of the courtyard stood a tall wooden stake, covered with traces of swords and slashes, which were deep and shallow, intertwined, forming a unique picture scroll, witnessing the hard training of the martial arts disciples day after day.

However, Taihao found that the silence in the martial arts hall was extremely quiet, and only the occasional sound of wind and birdsong broke the silence. He coughed lightly twice, trying to get the attention of the martial arts hall, but still no one came out to greet him. So, Taihao walked straight inside.

As he walked, he suddenly heard the sound of a fight coming from a room. He curiously leaned closer, looked through the crack in the door, and found that there were several teenagers practicing martial arts inside. Their movements are vigorous and powerful, and every move and style reveals the charm of martial arts. Tai Hao stopped and watched for a while, and found that the moves they practiced were extremely familiar to him, and they were extremely similar to the first two moves of "Snow Cat Fluttering" that he practiced.

This made Taihao very surprised, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy surged in his heart. He continued to watch for a while, and found that although these teenagers' moves were similar to his own practice, they had their own unique style and charm. This made him more curious and looking forward to the Yinan Martial Arts Hall, maybe there was some unknown secret of martial arts hidden here.

So, Taihao decided to enter this room and communicate with these teenagers. He pushed open the door and walked inside. In the room, several teenagers were concentrating on martial arts training, and they didn't notice Taihao's arrival. Taihao walked over with a smile and greeted them.

Several teenagers were concentrating on practicing martial arts, when they suddenly saw a strange man break into the room, and immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at Tai Hao vigilantly. One of the teenagers stepped forward, bowed his hand, and asked, "May I ask what the seniors are doing?" We are cultivating hard at this moment, and if there is anything to disturb, please ask our predecessors Haihan. ”

Seeing this, Tai Hao smiled and shook his head, and said, "Don't be nervous, I just passed by here, and I saw that the moves you practiced were very familiar, and I was curious, so I came in and had a look." Who is your Master? I'd like to talk to him. ”

When the young man heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and replied respectfully, "Our master is none other than Tie Sanhu, the owner of the Yinan Martial Arts Pavilion. He's just gone out on errands, and if you have something to do with him, you can wait here for a while and he'll be back soon. ”

Tai Hao nodded, his eyes swept over several teenagers, and he secretly admired in his heart. These teenagers have a solid foundation and smooth movements, and they have obviously put a lot of hard work into martial arts. He couldn't help but ask, "What's the name of the martial arts you practice?" I felt somewhat similar to what I had learned. ”

When the young man heard this, his face showed a hint of pride, and he replied: "What we practiced is the martial arts mastery "Snow Cat Fluttering". Will the seniors also have this martial arts? That's great! We've always wanted to see the true power of this martial art! ”

When Taihao heard the words "Snow Cat Fluttering", his heart was shocked. This martial art is a mastery inherited by Master Yuanshi, and it has never been passed on, so why do these teenagers also practice it? Could it be that he is not the only one who knows this martial art? Taihao's heart was full of doubts and curiosity, and he wanted to wait for the Iron Three Tigers to come back and ask him about it.

After a while, the Iron Tigers returned. He was wearing a cyan robe, the fabric was soft and delicate, as if the spring breeze was blowing through the willows, and as if the autumn water was the same color as the sky, revealing a unique charm. This kind of clothing seems ordinary, but it contains extremely strong toughness, as if it can resist all the attacks in the world. At a glance, you can feel the majesty and power of the boxer exuding from him.

He has a handsome face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a high nose, like a majestic mountain. Although he looks to be only in his twenties, his deep eyes seem to have gone through the vicissitudes of time, full of wisdom and determination.

When several teenagers saw Tie Sanhu coming back, they immediately stood up respectfully, bowed their hands, and said in unison: "Meet Master!" ”

Tie Sanhu nodded slightly, his gaze swept over several teenagers, and nodded with satisfaction. He said in a deep voice: "You keep practicing, don't stop. ”

Several teenagers responded in unison: "Yes! Then they continued to practice with all their concentration, as if the whole world had nothing to do with them.

Tai Hao walked up to the Iron Three Tigers and bowed his hand and said, "May I ask you are the owner of the Iron Three Tigers, right?" ”

Tie Sanhu didn't look at him squarely, just glanced at him casually, and responded, "Exactly." I'm practicing these disciples, so please go and wait outside the door. There was a hint of unmistakable majesty in his tone, as if to say, "This is my territory, and my rules are like this." ”

Tai Hao frowned slightly, he felt that Tie Sanhu's attitude was a little cold, and even a little disrespectful. But he didn't get angry, but maintained a calm attitude and continued: "The Iron Three Tiger Pavilion Master, I'm here to find you. ”

When Tie Sanhu heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Taihao again. I saw that Taihao was tall and straight, with an extraordinary handsome face, and a calm temperament, obviously a character who had seen a big scene. Tie Sanhu was secretly surprised in his heart: "Who is he?" Why did you come to me? ”

He rubbed his eyes, looked at Tai Hao carefully, and suddenly, his face changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "You...... Are you Taihao Shizu? ”

Hearing Tie Sanhu call himself his ancestor, Taihao was even more puzzled in his heart. He stared at the Iron Tiger and asked, "How do you know my identity?" And why do you call me my ancestor? ”

Tie Sanhu looked respectful and replied, "Master, I am Luo Xiu's disciple. Since I was a child, I have been learning martial arts with Master Luo Xiu, and every morning, I will bow three times to the portrait of you that Master has enshrined to show my respect, and then I will start practicing. The portrait of you is the same as you are now. ”

When Taihao heard this, he suddenly realized in his heart. He remembered the days many years ago, in the distant city of Pibo, Tibet. At that time, when he left the castle of Yisi, he taught Luo Xiu the martial art of "Snow Cat Fluttering". Unexpectedly, after so many years, Luo Xiu not only passed on this martial arts, but also accepted apprentices.

Tie Sanhu turned to the young men and commanded loudly: "Disciples, this is our master and ancestor, and also your Tai Shi Ancestor Tai Hao. Hurry up and salute as a sign of respect. ”

When several teenagers heard this, they immediately stopped what they were doing, walked up to Taihao respectfully, bowed their heads and saluted. Seeing this, Taihao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite, get up." ”

Subsequently, Tie Sanhu invited Tai Hao to a spacious and bright reception room in the martial arts hall. The interior layout is simple and elegant, with several exquisite calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, revealing a strong cultural atmosphere. Tie Sanhu invited Tai Hao to sit down, personally brewed him a cup of fragrant tea, and then sat opposite Tai Hao and began to tell the story of his past learning art with Luo Xiu.
