Chapter 4: The Turbulence Returns to the Vicissitudes
At the end of the meeting, everyone in Wuyue said goodbye, and they didn't know when they would see each other again.
Wang Zhaoren and his entourage resigned from Wudang and went down the Han River, wanting to go to Xiangyang to meet his father-in-law, Zhao Guzhou. He has a quirky personality, revenge will be avenged, martial arts are profound, and when revenge is good to play with people in applause, although he has lived in seclusion in Xiangyang for many years, but still makes many people in the rivers and lakes famous and trembling. People in the rivers and lakes say that "I would rather poke the hornet's nest than provoke Zhao Guzhou", so he got the nickname "cover the honeycomb".
Since the Han River connects the north and the south, merchants who take this waterway to the south and the north are endless. On the boat where Wang Zhaoren and his entourage were ridden, there were several businessmen dressed up. There were also three boats, each with about a dozen passengers.
Along the way, Wang Zhaoren always felt that something was wrong, was it too unlively, right? Maybe he just left the noisy Wudang Mountain Sutra Seminar! Thinking about it like this, Wang Zhaoren was also relieved. After calling Li Rufeng to bring the guqin, debugging it a few times, he began to sit on the bow of the boat and play.
The very piano is matched with the extraordinary person, although this piano is not a famous piano, but it is also the top grade of the piano, called "Huang Xuan". The five of their brothers and sisters are known as "chess, qin, calligraphy and painting", and the qin refers to Wang Zhaoren. As the head of Hengshan, his most refined thing is not martial arts, but the piano, and of course his favorite is playing the piano. It is true that his martial arts are also in the sound of his piano.
After the song "Mountains and Flowing Water" was played, everyone on the boat was already listening to each other and applauding. And Fang Lingyan and the others who heard it a lot were proud.
The sun is slanting in the west, the reverse scene enters the deep forest, and the breeze comes slowly, which is very pleasant.
Wang Zhaoren only waited to play another song, and at this moment, three ships around him suddenly approached Wang Zhaoren's ship, and one of them was already blocking the way. Wang Zhaoren was taken aback. Listening to the "whoosh...... the rest of the ship, including the boatman, all took out the deck, brushed out their weapons, and pounced viciously on Wang Zhaoren. Wang Zhaoren was sitting on the bow of the boat, and shouted in his heart that it was not good, and the thieves of this ship were killed suddenly, and he couldn't prevent it, so he simply jumped onto the opposite boat. Those killers didn't expect Wang Zhaoren to be like this, so they had to rebuild the offensive.
At this moment, Li Rufeng and Fang Lingyan reacted, back to back, making a defensive stance. The enemy of this ship originally intended to knock down Wang Zhaoren in one fell swoop, but the plan failed, so they came together to besiege and kill the two men.
Over there, when Wang Zhaoren landed on the boat, Qin was already hanging on his back, and he saw the long sword in his hand, sweeping and setting up the steel knife of the two people facing him. Because the ship was small, Wang Zhaoren stood on the bow of the ship, and was saved from being besieged for a while. But the other two ships of the enemy thieves have already pounced in the circle of battle. Wang Zhaoren let out a long roar, and a foot-high wave splashed around him, and along with the waves, there were several black shadows, all of which rushed towards Wang Zhaoren.
Wang Zhaoren waved his long sword. I saw that his sword was sometimes like a harp, sometimes like a lute, sometimes like a hole flute, and most of the wounded assassins were stabbed by the sound he made by fiddling with the sword in his hand.
There are more than 20 killers in this group, all of whom are not weak in martial arts, but they all use Confucian swordsmanship. You must know that today, basically only the Wuyue sects inherit the swordsmanship of Confucianism. Wang Zhaoren couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be ......?" "He couldn't imagine that it was impossible!
"Who are you, why do you know how to teach swordsmanship, and report your name."
The thieves did not answer, but besieged the three of them even more violently.
If the fight continues for such a long time, it is bound to be a water war, and when the time comes, there will be a big loss if there are few people. Wang Zhaoren said in his heart, he had to fight quickly.
Thinking in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off his hands and feet, and with a move, "the peaks and mountains are like gathering" bursts of sword qi sprinkled towards the enemy formation. Forced back the enemy's attack, turned around and jumped back to the original ship, and the two apprentices joined forces to defend, and another move "waves like anger" struck with the momentum, and the sword qi was at the place, and the enemy was killed immediately. Seeing that Wang Zhaoren and the three of them were gathered in a boat, the assassins propped up the three boats, and those with profound skills turned over and threw themselves into the water, breaking the boat where the three people were with internal force.
The ship broke through the water, and there were more than a dozen enemies. Wang Zhaoren took off the piano on his back and threw it into the water, flew on it, and sailed towards an enemy ship, the speed was extremely fast, and it was too late for the enemy on the boat to avoid it.
Over there, Fang Lingyan and Li Rufeng's boat had run out of water, and they couldn't help but get anxious.
I only heard the sound of the piano, and the sound waves blew away, and the shallow skills on the boat where Wang Zhaoren was located fell into the water. Wang Zhaoren was in a hurry, and the sound of the piano was still the same, but the sound wave was hitting the water, because it was against the water, although it could be effective, it was quite laborious, but fortunately, it was still close to breaking the boat.
The river was in a hurry, Fang Lingyan and Li Rufeng had lost their knees, and the other two boats of thieves had also besieged them, plus the enemy in the water, Li Rufeng was wounded, and the wound on his right shoulder was cut two inches long, and the blood did not stop.
Fang Lingyan was fortunate to be taken care of by Li Rufeng, which was okay, but it was not easy to feel good.
Seeing that Wang Zhaoren was driving the boat, the enemy was not ambiguous, and immediately divided into two groups, one wanted to stop Wang Zhaoren, while the other continued to besiege the two people on the ship.
Wang Zhaoren couldn't continue to drive the boat with the sound of the piano, so he sank into the dantian, and his palms struck out to both sides, and the wooden boat suddenly rushed up two zhang high, and when it reached the top, Wang Zhaoren drew his sword, and then went down to luck, the wooden boat pressed down, and below was a boat of enemy thieves.
This pressure, there is a strong wind below, which makes people breathless. Soon, a boatload of enemies below was crushed in the water.
Fang Lingyan and the others were also pushed out of the way by the water waves.
Wang Zhaoren jumped up again, and the boat under his feet flew in the direction of the two of them, and Wang Zhaoren landed below, just stepping on the boat that floated up from the water.
The ship was not broken, but it was just pressed down by the boat above and pressed into the water, and as soon as the boat above withdrew, the boat below quickly bounced up, and although there was a lot of water inside, at least it would not sink for the time being. At this time, Li Rufeng saw the boat that Wang Zhaoren had brought over with his strength, so he did not hesitate to support Fang Ling and push her into the boat.
At this moment, more than a dozen black-clothed people suddenly jumped out of the water, all wearing masks, only to see that the mask was black on the left and white on the right, and the jaw was fan-shaped. The moment they leaped out, they shot a bow into the water, and each shot three arrows.
Li Rufeng secretly said that it was not good, turned over and jumped into the boat, although he dodged some arrows, but he still had one inserted in his leg, and then looked at the water, it was already full of corpses with arrows, which were all the assassins on the boat.
And the men in black who killed the poison disappeared into the water like phantoms.
Wang Zhaoren was taken aback when he caught a glimpse of these circumstances, and those killers who fortunately did not lose their lives were also shocked.
With Wang Zhaoren's more than 40 years of experience in the rivers and lakes, such a black-clothed mask killer is not only excellent in water, but also has such superb archery skills, this is the first time I have seen it.
These people don't seem to be connected to the previous Four Ships Killers, but what is their purpose?
It's too late to think about it, because there's already action underwater.
It feels like a lot of big fish are swimming towards you. All three of them gathered their strength, and when the enemy came out, they attacked with all their might.
Even the remaining killers of the previous wave stopped besieging Wang Zhaoren and the three, staring at the water in horror.
Despite this, nothing jumped out of the water, Wang Zhaoren had a boat, Li Rufeng and Fang Lingyan had a boat, and the remaining five killers were in a boat, and the three boats sailed downstream to the riverside together. After a distance of about ten feet, the underwater water has always swam around like a big fish, which makes people very nervous, but they dare not let their guard down.
Suddenly, the people of the three boats left on the surface of the water all felt that something had penetrated to the bottom of the boat, and the speed was so fast, the camouflage was so deep, and the movement was so small that even Wang Zhaoren felt that he might not be able to do it.
If you have a captain, you can speed up. However, Wang Zhaoren and his people, especially Wang Zhaoren, had to drive the boat to the shore while defending against the enemy, and they suffered a lot of losses if they went on like this. It would have been nice if he had gotten on the same boat with Yan'er just now, Wang Zhaoren couldn't help but sigh a little.
Now, the ship where Fang Lingyan and Li Rufeng are located is two zhang away from the left front, and it is not difficult to just fight and jump down, but I am afraid that the enemy will take the opportunity to kill and be blocked halfway, and the consequences will be unimaginable. But in this case, you have to try hard.
Wang Zhaoren held his breath, and when he swam a little farther away, he called out "Yan'er" and jumped forward to the left, Fang Lingyan understood, high-fived forward, and the ship was slightly fixed. Seeing that Wang Zhaoren was about to reach the boat, a figure quickly emerged from the bottom of the water, trying to block in the middle.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhaoren had already prepared, he didn't want to do it in one step when he was flying, but he just stepped on the killer's head in the middle step, and then jumped into the boat. This step is extremely dangerous, if the enemy does not show his head, or if he misjudges the position slightly, he will inevitably fall into the river and be slaughtered.
The river bank was getting closer and closer, and the boat that the killer was on had been broken from the bottom of the water, and the people on board were immediately destroyed. And the boat that Wang Zhaoren and the three of them took had an extra layer of precautions because of Wang Zhaoren's arrival.
Wang Zhaoren unleashed the sound of the piano to the bottom of the ship, driving away the enemies who tried to break through the bottom of the boat. But by this time, all the enemies were besieging them.
I saw the enemy under the water swimming in two teams. The last one suddenly jumped out and stepped in front of the head of his companions who leaned out of the water one after another, and rushed towards Wang Zhaoren and the three. In this way, two offensive echelons were quickly formed.
And the enemy under the water also spread the murderous aura from all sides, and began to attack with all kinds of weapons. Li Rufeng drove the boat, Wang Zhaoren and Fang Lingyan launched an all-out counterattack, but the two fists were invincible to the four hands, and the tricks of those killers were very weird, and even Wang Zhaoren didn't see which way. The ship is broken after all......
Wang Zhaoren struggled in the water with his crippled body, fighting the trapped beasts. Under his instructions, Li Rufeng and Fang Lingyan had to support each other and flee to the shore in grief.
A small boat floated out of the crooked waterway, an old man, a cloak, and a fishing rod. The old man on the boat looked at the fight here and couldn't help frowning.
"Useless stuff!" The old man took a sip, and the boat sailed towards the fighting place like an arrow, and it really had the potential to ride the wind and waves. A fishing rod is like an artifact, and many people are killed in ...... instantly. The old man picked everyone away, and the fishing rod stretched out to Wang Zhaoren, who grabbed it, and although he was thrown on the boat, his face was full of gratitude. The old man turned the bow of the boat and sped towards the bend in the waterway.
Before the killers came to their senses, the old man's ship had drifted away. I only heard someone shouting: "Where did the puppet come from, dare to destroy Lao Tzu's great affairs." ”
I heard a distant voice come again: "Boy, if you don't want to die, come and chase it." ”
The killers really didn't want to die, and they didn't care about Li Rufeng and Fang Lingyan, who were far away from the shore, just chased after the old man. But the old man didn't run away, but stayed on the boat. "Hahaha......" The laughter made people panic.
This laughter generated a name in the minds of some killers: "Zhao Guzhou" However, they are not professional killers, they are just members of the sect who follow the orders of their superiors. Therefore, they still stuck to their faith to challenge the old man who had a terrifying impression in their minds, and silently thought in their hearts, this madman in front of them should not be Zhao Guzhou.
They were wrong, the madman in front of them was indeed Zhao Guzhou, known as Zhao Guzhou who "covered the honeycomb". Of course, everything about him is just a legend, and most of the people he played with are dead. Moreover, according to the current point of view, it is already a wrong decision for them to chase Zhao Guzhou than stabbing a hornet's nest.
Zhao Guzhou's gameplay this time is very simple, the thirteen thieves who rushed first share one way to play, that is, he is a fisherman, and the thirteen people are fish. He went down with a rod and caught thirteen mermaids. I saw that the thirteen thieves were pierced by him with a fishing hook in the throat, and they were strung together with a fishing line like a fish, and dragged into the water.
He actually doesn't care about Wang Zhaoren's life or death, he only cares about having fun. Often playing by the Han River, his ability to control water is naturally stronger than these killers.
But he still cares about his baby daughter, if his baby daughter Zhao Junyu knows that he doesn't save Wang Zhaoren, she will definitely not give up with him.
