Chapter 7: Comparing knives
There was some surprise to the people, his subordinates were measured, because he had investigated Yang Zhi's ability in advance, according to Yang Zhi's past friends, Yang Zhi should have touched some blood and seen red, but Yang Zhi hid very easily, and the natural reaction of his body can be used to stretch. After Yang Zhi dodged over, his figure stood still, and he praised softly: "Good kung fu." ”
The person who came was in his thirties, with a thin figure, ape arms and wolf waist, his eyes were bright, but there was a taste of endless vicissitudes on his face, he put the knife on the table, and said lightly: "In Hangzhou, Fang Qi Buddha." ”
Fan Zhixu was surprised: "The Seven Buddhas of the Southern Dao Fang?"
Fang Qifo smiled arrogantly, a literati like Shangshu of the Criminal Department knew himself, which was enough to explain his status in the rivers and lakes; there was a saying that there were six swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, and Fang Qifo of the Southern Dao was one of them. The other five are Yelu Yuan of the Northern Dao, Zen Master Waihu of the Bitter Monk, Shen Fuhao, the second sword in the world, Tie Wei Tuo Chaohe, and Zhang Yanyi, who broke the soul with a knife, respectively in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, Da Liao, and Western Xia, especially Zhang Yanyi, who is the youngest son of Zhang Yuan, the minister of power in Western Xia, and is now in charge of the Paradise Hall of Western Xia.
Yang Zhi just felt that Fang Qifo was familiar, and when he saw Gao Yu looking at him, he took his knife and put it on the table; Gao Yu took it over, pulled out Yang Zhi's ancestral treasure knife, and asked Fang Qifo if he saw it: "Fang Daxia knows the origin of this knife." ”
Fang Qifo obviously worked hard, and did not look at the knife, and replied proudly: "This knife is called Dragon Bird, it is cast by Helian Bobo to find skilled craftsmen, and then Zhou Taizu Guo Wei gave it to the Taizu of this dynasty, when Yang Ye rebelled against the Han and surrendered to the Song Dynasty, this knife is a token from Taizu to the Yang family." Legend has it that this knife blows hair and breaks hair, sharpens iron like mud, kills people without seeing blood, for more than 100 years, has been passed down by the Yang family, and it is gradually buried in the rivers and lakes. ”
Even Yang Zhi may not be able to say it so clearly, the word buried by Fang Qifo is full of contempt for the Yang family and Yang Zhi, which makes Yang Zhi full of displeasure, even if he comes through time, he doesn't like others to treat him like this; Yang Zhi looked at Fang Qifo, and suddenly remembered that he had seen the person in front of him there, and at the same time remembered Hua Rong and several other faces. It was Hangzhou, when escorting Hua Shigang in Jiangnan, Yang Zhi, Hua Rong, Lin Chong, and Xu Ning were eating fish on Song Sister's Boat in West Lake, and Hua Rong went to meet Fang Qifo next to the broken bridge, but Fang Qifo was dressed as a fisherman at that time, speaking with a local accent, and bargaining with Hua Rong at a glance.
Yang Zhi nodded with a convincing look, and didn't even reply a word, which made Fang Qifo stunned, and he had a feeling of hitting the cotton with a heavy fist, and he didn't know how to continue, so he could only look at Gao Yu. Gao Yu stood up, pretended to look at the two knives and said: "Sure enough, they are all good knives, Fang Qi Buddha, this official heard that those who are good at making knives can take the rank of general with a million troops, but unfortunately I haven't seen them all these years." ”
Fang Qifo said with a smile: "This matter is simple, Yang Zhi is a martial artist, presumably a generation of masters, villains are not talented, and Yang Zhi will have a discussion to see if he can enter the eyes of the palace marshal." Yang Zhi, how about you and I practice a few tricks, and let me, a person in this small place, see the demeanor of the master of Bianliang, and tell you that this knife of Gao Dianshuai is the secret knife of the Western Regions. ”
Fang Qifo's question is very poisonous, the Great Song Dynasty people talk about geography, Jiangnan is in the eyes of Bianliang people, that is the place of exile of Su Shi, Cai Jing and others, if Yang Zhi does not accept Fang Qifo's provocation, he doesn't have to be a man in Bianliang after it is spread, it doesn't matter if he can't beat others, but if he doesn't dare to fight, it's a matter of character. Yang Zhi was still a little timid in his heart, but he expected that no matter how fierce Fang Qifo was, he would not dare to kill himself in front of Gao Yu and Fan Zhixu, so he stood up with a smile and said, "Since Fang Daxia is interested, we will practice two tricks." ”
With Gao Yu's permission, Fang Qifo and Yang Zhi walked to the patio outside the door, Yang Zhi's mind flashed the knife technique he knew, and he couldn't figure out what posture the knife should be, and finally recalled the last time Yang Zhi competed with others, and selected the first style of the Yang family's breaking knife technique. But when facing Fang Qifo, Yang Zhi felt that the opponent's knife had not yet come out, even if he was standing on the opposite side, it was a huge pressure, as if a dark cloud was about to press over.
Yang Zhi took a breath, only to find that he was not so weak, his breathing had been able to calm down, and he couldn't help but show a smile, pulled out the steel knife in his hand, and concentrated on the first type of soul snatching of the Breaking Knife. The Yang family's broken knife comes from the military, a total of seven styles, soul snatching, meteor, wind dance, wild sand, sunset, sky soaring, and nirvana, each move is simple, Yang Zhi remembered the eight words at the beginning of the knife spectrum, "The soldiers are treacherous, the world is endless".
Fang Qifo saw Yang Zhi's knife style, and immediately took the lead, and the master played against the following chess, and the first move was the momentum, and the so-called preemptive strike was often because of the limitations of the martial arts of the sect, and the decisive victory between square inches was emphasized. Fang Qifo's knife technique comes from the East China Sea, paying attention to the knife walking in a straight line, the speed is the first, the chopping is heavy, and the stabbing action is very rare, relying on strength, speed and reaction; between the two steps, the nineteen slashes have already shrouded Yang Zhi's whole body in the sword light, and the silk pattern on the Wuzi secret knife shines dazzlingly in the moonlight.
Yang Zhi couldn't see the direction of the blade on the opposite side at all, but the murderous aura from Fang Qifo would not be fake, Yang Zhi instinctively carried the knife to counterattack, chasing the soul with five knives, each knife was sharper than the previous one, and the most important thing was that between Yang Zhi's swing of the knife, there was a sharp whistle, and a slanted knife curtain was suddenly formed in front of Yang Zhi. Everyone only saw that the light of the secret knife was scattered, and Yang Zhi's Dragon Bird Knife had been transformed into a heavenly dance, and the steel knife was like a river, surging towards Fang Qi Buddha.
Fang Qifo's scimitar slashed continuously, but unfortunately the knife was cut off and the water flowed more, and Fang Qifo was forced to retreat six steps by Yang Zhi in one breath; just when everyone thought that the back was more exciting, Yang Zhi suddenly withdrew his knife, and withdrew from the circle in one step and said: "Fang Daxia's martial arts are outstanding, and I can't do anything about it." ”
Yang Zhi really didn't want to fight anymore, but doing so made it difficult for Fang Qifo to step down; there was nothing to advance and retreat on the battlefield, Fang Qifo's martial arts and sword skills were not under Yang Zhi, but today it was practiced for Gao Yu and others. Fang Qifo is also a person with great status, he couldn't lick his face and ask Yang Zhi to fight again, sighed, inserted the Uzi secret knife into the scabbard, handed it back to Gao Yu and said: "Thank you for the reminder, the villain has the honor to fight with the blue-faced beast today, and his wish has been fulfilled, so he hereby retires." ”
Gao Yu originally felt that Fang Qifo had lost face, seeing that Fang Qifo was still arrogant, he didn't like it in his heart, so he waved his hand and said, "Go to the account room and take fifty taels of silver for travel expenses." ”
This is outright contempt, with the name of the southern knife, where can Fang Qi Buddha get fifty taels of silver, fortunately, Fang Qi Buddha still remembers that this is the soldiers and horses in front of the palace, and he thanked and floated away.
