Chapter 18: Sword Training (8)
Fang Zimo and Zhang Qingzi ran all the way, and after about a stick of incense, they came to an abandoned manor.
Outside this garden was originally a sea of forests, and I don't know when the fire started, but now it is still a scorched land.
Originally, the courtyard had become an open space, and the gate and the threshold had been removed, and the earthen walls on both sides were uneven, and one of them was almost missing.
More than a dozen people in the rivers and lakes carried swords and swords, and when they saw the two of them, they all blocked the way.
Fang Zimo's expression was calm, knowing that there was an entanglement, and Xie Ding and the others would be able to catch up immediately, so he was not in a hurry, and took Zhang Qingzi into the manor, wanting to go a different way.
The inside of this manor is even more dilapidated, and the houses are not houses, only ruins everywhere.
In the place leaning on the south, there is a forest of steles, the inscriptions on it are clearly visible, all are surnamed Zhou, and there are more than 40 people in total.
The two were not familiar with each other, and they didn't know about the accident here, so Fang Zimo took out a water bag and handed it to Zhang Qingzi.
"The weather was nice, cloudless and blue. ”
"As long as you pass Yiyang, Sanssouci Valley will not be far away. I don't know where Xiao Chu has been, if he is on the way here, he will probably run into it, right?"
Fang Zimo nodded and looked towards the open space not far away, "If it really doesn't work, I'll block them, and you go first." ”
"I won't leave you. Zhang Qingzi threw the water bag back to him.
More than a dozen people in the rivers and lakes slowly squeezed into the manor, looking cautious.
At this time, Xie Ding and the others followed the trail and had arrived outside the abandoned manor.
............
Inside the city gate of Yiyang City, someone was carrying a big burden and pushing a cart full of stones in the early morning, and I don't know what he was going to do when he went out of the city.
The soldiers guarding the city did not pay any attention to him, but when he passed the city gate, a fast horse ran in from outside the city gate, and in order to avoid it, the cart overturned, and the stones on it were scattered on the ground.
The man had bent over, looked back at the rampaging fast horse, and straightened up.
The GI on the side felt a wall erected in front of him, and couldn't help but take a step back.
The man turned to the soldier and said, "I'm sorry, the villain will clean up immediately." ”
The stones on the ground look to weigh more than ten catties, and the larger ones are not less than fifty or sixty catties. The man gathered the stones together one by one as if they were pulling the earth.
When the soldier saw a group of merchants approaching the city gate, he went up and tried to straighten the cart that had fallen on its side, so that he could move the stones up as soon as possible. Where do you know that if you help it, this board will not move at all......
When the man saw this, he overturned the cart and picked up the stones with great speed, and in a few moments pushed the cart out of the city gate.
He pushed the cart and walked faster and faster, and in the end ordinary people couldn't run faster than him.
After walking for about half a day, on the path in the forest, I met a group of Jianghu people, about 20 people.
This group of people let the horses graze, surrounded two circles, and were sacrificing to the Five Organs Temple.
"Brother Chen, Lingyun Sword Immortal hasn't arrived at this time, maybe he was surrounded by someone on the road. ”
"Earlier, the people from Luoyang Qingfeng Gate set off, but they couldn't stop them with just a few people. ”
"This is the only way to get to Yiyang, unless they spend an extra half a day walking around Xiyan Mountain. ”
As he spoke, someone had already spotted the person who had come from the cart.
The two of them stepped forward to block the way and asked, "Who are you, and where are you going with a cart of stones?"
He still bent over and pinched the handlebar, and said in his mouth: "The villain came from Yiyang, went to Yongning to deliver stones, and the Lu family's mansion in the county was to be repaired, and he thought that he could sell it for some money." ”
The people in the rivers and lakes who blocked the road were reluctant to let them go, and only said: "Where did you come from, where are you going, you can't go this way today." ”
"Why can't you go?"
The people in the rivers and lakes lifted the Pu knife and said viciously: "You man, you have many mouths and tongues, and you won't go away and eat grandpa's knife!"
The blade was in front of him, but he didn't look at it at all, straightened up, looked up at the sky through the cracks in the forest, and it was already noon.
The person who raised the knife saw him straighten his chest, like a tiger out of the sky, and the dragon raised his head, and his majesty was only seen in his life. Seeing that this person's hair was scattered, his cheeks were bearded, his appearance was dignified, especially a pair of eyes were full of coldness, although his face was young, his expression was calm and powerful, confident and unscrupulous, he knew that something was wrong, and involuntarily took a step back.
He shook his shoulders, and the large burden he was carrying slipped into his hand and was thrown on the car. Then, he twisted the handlebar on the right side of the cart and slowly pulled it out.
In this process, he took a total of three steps back, and the handlebar was a full foot and three feet, and he carried it in his hand completely, took off the black cloth on his head, and the silver gun head was exposed. He wiped the cloth off the gun, and the originally dirty handlebar suddenly became black and shiny, showing a special texture of black iron.
The gun was so huge, not only was it two people long, but the barrel was as thick as his wrists.
This is a big gun, a big gun that people will never forget when they see it!
The Jianghu people with the simple knife stepped back step by step......
The people of both circles stood up and hurriedly took out their weapons. The "Brother Chen" who took the lead made a long iron crutch, which was the second master of the Luoyang Abduction Gate, and after a long time, he walked out and said: "Chen Liang in the Lower Abduction Gate, in front of Chu Kexing, who is the 'Broken Cauldron and Sinking Overlord Gun'?"
But the man didn't reply, but dragged his gun away, slowly moving forward.
Chen Liang had no doubts, and shouted to the brothers around him: "Everyone be careful, Chu Kexing has always spoken without a gun, and with a gun without talking. ”
Chu Kexing strode violently and stabbed Chen Liang with a gun, but Chen Liang did not accept the move, and went straight back. A brother next to him didn't know what to do, raised his knife and cut down, was slapped by the spear, the knife flew out of his hand, and the gun kept sweeping to his body, and he screamed, fell out like a rag bag, and fell to the ground with a dead body.
As soon as this big gun danced, it was like an unscrupulous dragon, rolling up a whistling wind, stabbing whoever died, picking whoever died, and there was no enemy under the gun.
More than 20 people on the other side died in a blink of an eye, only Chen Liang remained, and was forced under the gun, and blocked it with a long iron crutch, and the big gun did not turn or shake, as if it had not been touched at all, and it was completely unhindered, and it pierced straight into his body.
The head of the gun was pulled out, and Chu Kexing threw it in a half circle with one hand, and the blood drew a regular semicircle on the ground.
He turned and walked towards the cart, opened his baggage, took out a Fan Yang felt hat, put it on top of his head, and took out another piece of clothing and a pair of fast boots.
The black Spring and Autumn chivalrous uniform, changing the short jacket on his body, tightening the cuffs, tying a shiny old cowhide belt, and tying his waist, set off his tall and sturdy figure even more. kicked the straw sandals again, and changed into fast boots with black on a white background, which was already dressed as a high-roller.
Knowing that it was not far from Fang Zimo, Chu Kexing had no intention of disguise, picked a healthy horse left by these people, and galloped away.
On the road of rivers and lakes, second- and third-rate Jianghu guests see with their eyes, and first-class masters listen with their ears. He traveled about two miles on horseback when he heard the faint sound of fighting in the depths of the dense forest ahead.
Walking through the dense forest, you will see an abandoned manor, and the broken walls and holes are full of figures leaping back and forth.
The horse did not stop, he was caught in the belly of the horse by his feet, and he crashed into the broken wall in pain, and the shadow of the gun shook out, and the three unsuspecting Jianghu people were picked up and flew out.
The people present were overwhelmed by his momentum and stopped for a while. Xie Ding, who surrounded Fang Zimo and Zhang Qingzi, shouted: "It's Chu Kexing, old ghost, let's stop him." ”
Chu Kexing did not stop his horse, ran around the field, and picked up two Jianghu people who came from Luoyang, and said to Zhang Qingzi: "Get on the horse!"
The scene was tense for a while, it turned out that Zhang Qingzi was surrounded by everyone in front of him, and he ate a knife from Lin Lao Ghost and slashed it on his leg, which was already inconvenient. In order to protect her, Fang Zimo spent a lot of internal strength, with Xie Ding, Lin Lao Ghost, and Wild Fox joining forces, he had no chance of winning, so he found a gap and killed two Jianghu men, so he fell into the encirclement and barely resisted.
As soon as Chu Kexing arrived, Xie Ding and Lin Lao Ghost went up and stopped him, as well as Zhang Qingzi.
used to be acquaintances in Chang'an, Chu Kexing didn't have to be polite, the gun rolled over like a black dragon, and the slider shook Xie Ding away, but Lin Lao Ghost followed with a knife to block the gun.
He turned his horse and walked around, and the two figures galloped and leaped on either side of the horse, advancing and retreating, entangled endlessly. On the other side, the two subordinates of Wild Fox and Xie Ding, as well as the six Jianghu men from Luoyang, blocked Fang Zimo's long sword. The wild fox wielded the dust so that the water could not splash in, if it was usual, Fang Zimo could kill it under the sword within ten moves, but at the moment he had to protect Zhang Qingzi, and the internal breath was insufficient, so he fought with several people inextricably.
Chu Kexing saw that the situation was unfavorable to Fang Zimo and Zhang Qingzi, so he took Xie Ding and Lin Lao Ghost, went around, flew off the horse, turned around and shook out countless gun shadows, and shouted in his mouth: "Sister-in-law, you go first!"
Zhang Qingzi saw the horse coming, and used that move in the light chasing shadow, although his body couldn't keep up, but the sharp sword light made the people around him retreat. She took the opportunity to turn over and get on her horse, broke away from the battle circle, and while riding away, she turned around and shouted: "Xiao Chu, bring your big brother Fang out safely!"
After Chu Kexing dismounted, his prestige rose, he never liked to talk much with a gun, and the first two openings were just to let Zhang Qingzi leave safely...... At this time, he shouted loudly: "Death to those who stand in my way today!"
He is the best at group fighting with this big gun, and he is not afraid of many people. He has apprenticed to a number of famous masters, and then went to Chang'an to meet Zimo, several people formed the Xinyi League, while transporting objects for others, while studying marksmanship, to the Dingfeng Bo Sword Club, has learned the marksmanship. It can stab flies on the wall without breaking the wall, and the old locust tree that the two people hug together can be swept off with a pole.
Xie Ding is known as the Chang'an Sword King with his single-handed swordsmanship, and he can only entangle outside the gun, and he can't enter the gun circle for half a step. The flesh butcher Lin Lao Ghost Knife method actually works, the killing move is not obvious, and the flesh and blood are flying, and Zhang Qingzi was accidentally cut in the leg with a move before. At this time, he didn't fight hard, he only held the defensive position and didn't let the big gun slide away from the talisman knife.
Can't take these two people, Chu Kexing is not in love with war, the spear is an indomitable weapon, let Xie Ding and Lin Lao Ghost wait for the opportunity outside the gun, only took the gun to force the two of them, turned around and came to Fang Zimo's side, shot three times in a row, and picked off three Jianghu men from Luoyang.
His hand-picked gun style was created when he was wandering in the rivers and lakes after the Dingfeng Bo Sword Meeting, and he has reached his full potential, calling himself "one-handed picking the world". Although it is not as good as the one-handed eighteen picks of the overlord of Chu, there is no one before and no one after him. But today's martial arts, with their eyes on the horizon, are also few enemies.
The wild fox over there who was originally resisting Fang Zimo's long sword saw that he was so powerful, and even the Chang'an Sword King and the Flesh Butcher couldn't get close, and he had the heart to receive him with a big gun, so he jumped up and greeted him, saying: "Don't be rampant, the poor road will meet you for a while!"
Chu Kexing didn't say anything to him, the body of the gun shook, the sliding rod four or five times, shook off the dust, and went straight into the body of the wild fox, this person rolled out in embarrassment, and did not get up for a while.
Xie Ding saw that Chu Kexing was about to deal with his two subordinates, so he couldn't care about it anymore, so he used all his internal strength, raised his sword and cut the body of the gun, and hit it everywhere. Chu Kexing's backhand was a provocation of the spear, which made the long sword in Xie Ding's hand scream sadly, although he was holding the long sword and was not picked off, but his whole body retreated crookedly, his face was red, and he was already injured internally.
However, Chu Kexing was also uncomfortable, his internal strength struck, his blood surged, and the gun's momentum ran out, and Lin Laogui, who saw the opportunity, broke into the side and slashed at his waist, and the blood under his ribs flowed like an infusion.
Shocked to feel injured, Chu Kexing gritted his teeth and did not retreat, at the moment when Lin Lao Ghost floated and retreated, he returned the gun and twisted his body, and the tail of the gun rotated and chased after him, stabbed Lin Lao Ghost in the chest, beat him and flew into the stele forest, smashing several stone tablets.
He didn't stop for a moment, as if he hadn't been injured at all, he strode forward, stabbed with his gun, and killed several Jianghu men around Fang Zimo in a row...... The last of Xie Ding's subordinates turned around and fled when they saw that the situation was not good, and was sent to the underworld by Fang Zimo with a sword in the air.
"Xiao Chu, his majesty has not diminished back then. Fang Zimo put away his sword and said with a smile.
Chu Kexing took a bottle of hemostatic powder from his arms, poured it on the wound, and said to him: "I was injured when I dealt with these few, and I made my brother laugh." ”
"We brothers haven't seen each other for many years, and I have a lot to say to you, so get out of here first. ”
"Rush to Sanssouci Valley before dark, and everyone have a good drink together!"
The two walked out of the manor while talking, Fang Zimo's internal strength was not as abundant as usual, and he didn't hear clearly, but Chu Kexing heard a gust of wind chasing after him, and quickly turned around and stabbed out with a shot.
The tip of the spear was violently forced, and Chu Kexing, who had never been indomitable, was actually forced to take a step back.
Fang wanted to take a closer look, Fang Zimo beside him had already spoken, and said calmly: "It turned out that the South China Sea Hanging Buddha was coming, the master had been absent for many years, and his skills have increased recently, but he came to compete with Fang?"
Jiu Yan looked up to the sky and laughed, and the irrepressible excitement erupted from his eyes, and said: "Fang Zimo, I have never forgotten it for the past seven years, I have been competing with you in my dreams, and today I can finally compete again, I am really happy in my heart, monk! Chu Kexing, you can fight if you want, when I finish the sword competition with Fang Zimo first, you can fight as much as you want!"
As he spoke, he suddenly found that Fang Zi's ink machine was weak, and he couldn't help frowning and asked, "How long will it take you to recover your internal strength?"
Fang Zimo estimated it and said calmly: "About an hour." ”
Jiu Yan asked seriously: "Is the spirit good?"
Fang Zimo smiled and said calmly: "One hour is enough." ”
Jiu Yan laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll wait for you for an hour." Come, come inside and meditate. ”
Chu Kexing looked at Fang Zimo, and Fang Zimo said to him: "Since it is a fair sword competition, Xiao Chu, you can watch the battle from the side." ”
"Good. Chu Kexing couldn't rest assured, and asked nine difficulties, "How about winning or losing?"
Nine difficulties have walked into the manor, not worried about Fang Zimo leaving at all, firstly, Fang Zimo is not a man of his word, and secondly, he is thinking in his heart about the Dingfeng Bo Sword Meeting seven years ago, and there was a tie at that time, in the past seven years, his heart and mind have to be divided into high and low, just now Fang Zimo saw him and said what he thought in his heart, he must have the same thoughts as him.
"Monk, I won't lose today. ”
