The majestic mountains and birds are gone, and the beasts on the vast land are gone. One night in the middle of winter in the fourteenth year of Shaoxing, a young man appeared in the deserted wilderness, and at this moment, he was respectfully bowing to the tombstone of the three animal sacrifices and incense, candles, and paper foil placed in front of him.

After the memorial ceremony, the young man took out a large knife with a black lacquer and shiny sheath from his waist. Then, he opened his fist and walked with the dragon, using a set of superb sword techniques. The cold light on the knife is bright into the night, and the moon rises in the shadow of the pine wind. The knife in his hand danced faster and faster, and the young man's figure became strange and fluttering.

I don't know how much time he practiced, the young man suddenly kicked the ground with both feet, his body pressed a thousand jun, his arms were slightly bent, and the treasure knife was pushed out horizontally. When he collected the knife, he only heard a "click" sound, and a few old pines with thick bowls around him were cut into two sections.

This style is the "sweeping four poles" in the Fu family's knife method, and the Liuhe knife method was created by the famous general Fu Cha in the Northern Song Dynasty, and this young man is Fu Tianpeng, the son of Fu Cha. His father Rong Ma made great contributions to the people of Sheji Li all his life, but he accidentally fell into the trap of the traitor Kong Yanzhou, and finally died of hatred. Every time he thought about it, the grief and indignation in Fu Tianpeng's heart were difficult to control. His father's hatred is not shared, he broke the branch as an oath, and this time he will go south to find Kong Yanzhou to avenge his revenge.

Xiaoxing stayed overnight, boating all the way, and after a journey of more than ten days, Fu Tianpeng came to a deserted mountain road under the jurisdiction of Pingjiang Mansion. The bone-chilling cold of the winter night coupled with the unbearable hunger in his abdomen, Fu Tianpeng only felt the Venus shaking in front of him, and his feet were like stepping on soft cotton. Fortunately, he is a person who practices martial arts, and at the moment of distress, Fu Tianpeng is angry and tired, and his fatigue is gradually eased. In this way, when Fu Tianpeng was slightly filled with Zhongqi, he followed the steep stone steps down the mountain. Not far ahead, the fire flickered, and Fu Tianpeng knew that he had arrived at a village and could rest and settle down.

In front of a thatched grass hut, Fu Tianpeng stopped and lightly buckled the door. After a while, an old inquiry came from inside: "Who knocked on the door late at night?" ”

Fu Tianpeng replied: "Those who are on the road, I missed the stack, please spend the night." As soon as Fu Tianpeng's words fell, the door opened. An old man with a childish face stood opposite him. Fu Tianpeng hurriedly bowed to the old man, and the old man let him in. The room should be sparsely furnished, and on the mottled square table on the earthen kang, an oil lamp spews faint light weakly.

The old man asked Fu Tianpeng to stay for a while, and then shouted outside: "If a guest is coming, if you have a cigarette, quickly prepare some wine and rice." A short time later, a young girl walked in with a food plate. When Ruoyan got closer, Fu Tianpeng raised his head and glanced at her. The girl's eyebrows are like willow leaves, her eyes are like a bright lake, and her pretty nose is a little pink cherry lips. When Fu Tianpeng saw Ruoyan, he didn't feel that he was wandering out of the world, and he forgot to thank Shi Li for a while. And Ruoyan looked at Fu Tianpeng, who had an extraordinary bearing and looked at the sword eyebrows, and his heart was like a deer. Fortunately, the old man pretended to cough lightly and relieved the two of them. If the smoke was like a scarlet cloud, and he went away shyly, the old man and Fu Tianpeng raised their glasses and drank it.

It is "a thousand cups of wine for a confidant", the old man and Fu Tianpeng talked very happily. From the conversation, Fu Tianpeng learned that the old man's surname was Han Mingxian, and he was originally a lieutenant in the infantry barracks. Because he was dissatisfied with Prime Minister Li Bangyan's withholding of military rations, which led to the defeat of the army, he fled from Bianzhou with Ruoyan at night, and his ancestors and grandchildren lived an incognito life in this wild mountain village.

The clouds covered the sun, the ministers were in charge, and Han Xian vented his dissatisfaction while drinking. Fu Tianpeng saw that the old man was emotional, so he persuaded a few words. Han Xian looked at Fu Tianpeng with drunken eyes, and then picked up the wine glass and said to him: "Shaoxia, I see that you are carrying a treasure sword, and when you come to this mountain and wild place, you must have a picture of it." You might as well tell me from the bottom of your heart, see if I can help you, old man? ”

Han Xian's words were loud, and they were by no means drunken jokes. Fu Tianpeng was grateful, but the old man was old, and he was not related to him, how could he bear to let Han Xian get involved in the grievances of the rivers and lakes. Therefore, Fu Tianpeng did not explain his personal enmity with Kong Yanzhou. He just told Han Xian: "The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, he came all the way to Pingjiang Mansion to find Liu Renli." As soon as Fu Tianpeng said this, Han Xian, who was drunk, suddenly sobered up. In order to confirm whether he heard it wrong, Han Xian asked.

After receiving Fu Tianpeng's affirmative reply, Han Xian twisted his beard and looked solemn. Fu Tianpeng saw that Han Xian's behavior was different, and he hurriedly asked the reason. Han Xian told Fu Tianpeng that the old hero Liu Renli commanded the thirteen rudders of Taihu Lake, fought for righteousness and squandered wealth, eliminated violence and peace and goodness, and was quite prestigious in the Wuyue area. Besides, the masters of the Long Whale Gang are like clouds, and Fu Tianpeng is alone, so I am afraid that there will be accidents. Fu Tianpeng thanked Han Xian for telling the truth, but the blood feud could not be avenged. This time he broke into the Long Whale Gang alone, just to fight with Liu Renli to break the net. The young man was strong-blooded, and Han Xian didn't listen to his persuasion, so he had to find another plan. The bright moon hung high and the night was like ink, Han Xian settled Fu Tianpeng and closed the door to rest.

The sound of horses' hooves in the middle of the night and the constant shouts of killing broke the tranquility of Hanjia Village in Pingjiang Prefecture. Taking advantage of the bright moon and bright stars, I saw this biao man and horse, and after a short period of time, he stopped in front of Han's house. The horses stood on either side, and a man flashed out from behind.

This man had a bearded face and a fierce look in his eyes. He raised his whip and pointed forward, and then a minion swung his vinegar bowl fist and began slamming the door with a bang. "Bang bang", the terrifying knock on the door resounded in the ears. With the continuous shaking of the dust on the rafters, the heavy door panel collapsed. The previous minions rushed in with steel knives in hand, and the room was immediately enveloped in a desolate atmosphere of crying and complaining.

When he was young, the minions escorted the old and young of the Han family to the front of the bandit leader. The bandit leader looked at them carefully with a pair of rat eyes. Han Xian's expression was solemn, and he was silent; If the moth frowns, it can't stop sobbing. After a while, the bandit leader broke the silence and ordered his men to tie Ruoyan to their horses and prepare to leave for the cottage.

Anger burned in Han Xian's chest, and he used his wood-like body to stand tightly in front of the bandit's leader's horse, intending to prevent the wicked from leaving. "The old immortal thing, living impatiently." The leader of the robbers was so angry that he drew a large ring knife from his waist and slashed at the old man's head. The cold light flashed on the knife, and Han Xian's life was in the moment. The scene in front of him made Ruoyan cry incessantly. At the moment of life and death, I only heard a "whoosh" sound, and a flying stone appeared out of nowhere, shaking the knife in the hand of the wicked.

The bandit leader looked around, and the night was like ink, and there was no one. The direction of the opponent is unknown, which makes the bandit leader feel very passive. In order to reverse the decline, he roared viciously: "Little thief, what kind of ability is it to hurt people with secret arrows, if you have the ability, you can compare with Grandpa Jia Ren one-on-one." As soon as the robber leader's words fell, a ghostly figure appeared behind him.

The minions reminded Jia Ren to pay attention, and Jia Ren turned his head in shock, only to see a young swordsman. The young man was about seventeen years old, he wore a hat on his head, he was dressed in a thick linen short brown, he wore a dragon silk pendant around his waist, his feet wore cloud shoes, and the blue wave treasure knife in his hand shot a gloomy light. Look at the appearance of the boy again; The seven-foot-long black hair hangs down from the shoulders, the two sword eyebrows are obliquely inserted, a pair of black eyes are like jade, the lips are like a little fat, and the teeth are like braided shells. On the beautiful face, there is a faint sense of loneliness and coldness, which is unforgiving.

Jia Ren saw that Fu Tianpeng was a teenager, and his fear was greatly reduced. He reined in the horse, snatched the ghost head knife in the hand of a minion next to him, and after screaming in his mouth, he rose into the air with a harrier turning over, and then brandished a big knife and slashed at Fu Tianpeng's face. Han Xian and Ruoyan Ancestor and grandson, seeing that Jia Ren suddenly killed Fu Tianpeng, they were worried about his safety.

When Fu Tianpeng saw the knife coming, he unhurriedly withdrew and shifted, and Jia Ren's move "Bangs Chopping Wood" blade went into the air, and it happened to fall in front of Fu Tianpeng. Fu Tianpeng took the first step to borrow strength, his left elbow bent slightly, his body leaned forward suddenly, and knocked Jia Ren out of two feet away with a "golden bull hitting the mountain". Humiliated by a stinky boy in front of the thieves, Jia Ren was furious. He spat out the thick blood in his mouth on the ground, took out the flying eagle claw from his arms, and threw it at Fu Tianpeng.

The eagle's talons are made of stainless steel, and the gravel is like mud. Jia Renshi suffered a loss in close combat with Fu Tianpeng, and he had a bad plan, wanting to borrow a weapon "one inch long and one inch strong", and quickly ended up with Fu Tianpeng. Fu Tianpeng's feet are too empty, he walks two instruments, and his body is as light as a swallow. Jia Ren's flying eagle claws only hovered around Fu Tianpeng's body, but they couldn't hurt him in the slightest. After a long period of stalemate, Jia Ren gradually became powerless, and the offensive was not as good as before. Fu Tianpeng leaned forward and grabbed the flying eagle claws tightly with his hands like iron tongs. Jia Ren's face changed drastically, and he also used all his strength to pull the other end of the rope tightly. At this time, Fu Tianpeng suddenly withdrew his hand, and the Flying Eagle Claw lost its strength and balance, and roared towards Jia Ren's head.

Jia Ren was so frightened by the flying eagle claw that he retreated again and again, almost falling down. The minions who were watching the battle shouted at him: "Second village master, you don't have flying eagle claws in front of you at all. That's all an illusion, don't be fooled by this kid. The frightened Jia Ren was just about to speak, when suddenly a white rainbow appeared on his chest. Then after hearing a scream of "ah", Jia Ren fell to the ground and died.

Seeing that Jia Ren was killed by Fu Tianpeng, the minions left behind the Han family's grandchildren and fled one after another. After the thieves dispersed, Fu Tianpeng untied Han Xian and Ruoyan, and said to them: "In my opinion, the thieves will not give up, you weak old and orphaned girls, it is better to leave this place as soon as possible, so as not to be retaliated by the robbers." Han Xian thanked Fu Tianpeng for saving his life, and he told Fu Tianpeng that he was already in his twilight years and didn't want to go anywhere, if he really wanted to leave, please ask him to take Ruoyan with him.

Fu Tianpeng stared at Ruoyan, her beautiful eyes shining with tears. It seems that they have a thousand words to each other, but they are speechless at this moment. After a long time, Ruoyan said to Han Xian: "Grandpa, I want to be with you even if I die." Han Xian sighed, holding his granddaughter's hand, not knowing what to say.

With a heavy responsibility, Fu Tianpeng was inconvenient to stay, so he waved goodbye to Han Xian and Ruoyan, and took advantage of the night to visit the Long Whale Gang. The road ahead is long, the rivers and lakes are dangerous, Fu Tianpeng's trip must be difficult, but he has already put life and death aside.
