Chapter 54

Yang Mu and Ma Hongwan had finished discussing, and saw the three heroes Qu Shili take the lead in stepping forward, "I'll come first." As he spoke, he raised the folding fan in his hand, and six cold rays of light shot out and were nailed to the beams in a row.

When they looked up, they saw that they were six steel needles, about three inches long, and one inch into the wood.

Ma Hongwan applauded, but after calling it complete, he sneered, "Doesn't Qu Sanxia regard this hand as a masterpiece?" I'm afraid it's a little unreasonable." ”

Qu Shili half-squinted and said: "Of course not, since my brother dares to say that he has a masterpiece, naturally it will not be a boast, these six needles are just props for me to practice the mastery, and the real mastery still needs some preparation." ”

"Just say what you need, but if it's something special, I'm afraid it will take some time for the brothers to go down the mountain to procure. ”

"You don't need anything special, is there a cotton rope?

"Naturally, all of them are there. ”

"Okay, then please hang a copper coin on the lintel of the hall with a cotton rope, and put six sticks of butter wax behind the copper coin. ”

Ma Hongwan nodded and ordered his subordinates to do it, and it would be good in a short time.

Qu Shili pinned the folding fan into his waist, rolled up his sleeves and was just about to start, but the second hero Ding Yu walked over and said: "In ancient times, Lu Feng shot a halberd at the gate of the first gate, and now there is a grudge against the son of the palace to shoot copper coins, I have seen it not fresh, I have never seen it fresh, we rarely touch the bow and arrow, and we can't see whether it is good or not, the steel needle is different, but all those who practice martial arts know a little bit and can't play it." Let's put it this way, as long as there is a person on the mountain today, who can do the same as my third brother, our brother will immediately go down the mountain and withdraw his troops, and he will not take a step out of the customs in this life. However, the ugly words are ahead, if not, I hope that the owner of the horse village can pay the preface. ”

"Is that true?"

Ma Hongwan asked Ding Yu, but it was Yang Mu who looked at him, and when he saw Yang Mu nodding, he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

Speaking from the heart, there are more than 30 swordsmen invited in my righteous hall, and no one really has any research on hidden weapons?

When Ding Yu came back, Lu Chuan was a little worried, but when he saw that the eldest brother and the second brother were all good, he pressed his heart and watched carefully.

I saw Qu Sanxia say "please keep your eyes on it", jumped up and reached out to take off the steel needle on the beam, turned his body in the air a few times, and then fell steadily to the ground, with no life.

"It's over?" Ma Hongwan didn't hear the movement, nor did he see it clearly, Qu Shili had already finished practicing.

Qu Sanxia ordered someone to take down the copper coin, and then lined up the big wax on the ground, everyone came to watch, but if they didn't look at it, they were all surprised at a glance.

I saw that there was no trace on both sides of the copper coin, and the steel needle passed directly through the square hole in the middle and shot into the large wax.

Six large wax branches, each wearing a steel needle, one inch in front and one inch in the back, no difference.

The most important thing is that there is only one pinhole on each wax, which means that the six needles are in a line, and they are exactly the same as one on top and one through the other.

None of the people present changed color.

Ding Yu smiled: "Can you see clearly? Is this a masterpiece?"

General Ma Hongwan glanced at all the swordsmen present one by one, and shook his head helplessly, "Qu Sanxia is really a master. ”

"Do the three of us still need to practice again?"

Ma Hongwan just wanted to speak, but the thin old man next to him rushed to say: "Of course, you can't miss when you see a master, the four of them have mastery, it's a pity not to look at it." ”

Ding Yu scolded secretly in his heart, but there was a smile on his face, "If my guess is right, I'm afraid that the predecessor is Hao Yongxi Hao, who is known as the rotting rat." ”

"You ......" Hao Yongxi's face changed suddenly when he heard the three words "rotting rat".

It turns out that he has a problem, he likes to rob tombs, and sometimes he can't control his hands after becoming famous, so the people in the rivers and lakes call him a rotting rat. However, he didn't like this nickname very much, so he gave himself another nickname of Soushansuo, and everyone knew his temper, and he was called Soshansuo in front of him, and he was called a rotten rat behind his back.

Ding Yu deliberately called him a rotten rat in front of people, how could he be happy? But who is Ding Yu?

"I'm just interested in the things of the lower three things, the seniors are a few masters in the lower three gates, I wonder if your 'wild rat arch hole' can teach the younger generations a story or two?"

Hao Yongxi was so angry that his beard trembled, his old face was flushed, and he couldn't say a word.

Ding Yu was still waiting to take advantage of the victory to pursue, Ma Hong coughed and said: "Ding Erxia, Qu Sanxia has really practiced a mastery, I don't know what your mastery is?"

Ding Erxia smiled slightly and said: "My third brother has taken up all the clever words, even if I practice anything, I can't be more clever than his mastery, so let's use this copper coin to practice your wrist strength, please pay attention." ”

As he spoke, he took out a black lacquer, fingertip-sized hidden weapon from his arms, which was actually the abacus on his blade gold abacus. Then he picked up the copper coin, threw it into the air, and with a "ding" sound, an abacus hit the copper coin, and the copper coin flipped in the air and jumped up.

Immediately after that, the sound of "ding ding" continued, and Ding Yu finished playing all the abacus, and the copper coin failed to land after all.

In the end, he caught the copper coin with his two fingers and flicked it out, and the copper coin was actually flat and inlaid into the wall, and there were some abacus beads on both sides of the copper coin, which were grouped together into a "and" character.

"Harmony makes money, harmony makes money, everyone, I'm done practicing, I don't know if my two strokes are considered mastery?"

Ma Hongwan looked around again, the swordsmen just shook their heads, and the master of the horse village smiled bitterly and said: "The kung fu in Ding Erxia's hands is better than the kung fu in his mouth, absolutely, absolutely." Lord Yang Zhai, Lu Liuxia, which of the two of you will come first?"

Lu Chuan's face was a little unnatural, and he said in a low voice: "Big brother, I won't be a master." ”

He has been thinking about it since Qu Shili made a move, but he has been thinking about it now, but he can't think of anything he can practice that others won't practice.

Yang Mu also frowned, and then said: "It's okay, the eldest brother will practice first, your second brother has a lot of ideas, let him help you think of a way." ”

After speaking, he took a few steps forward and ordered someone to line up the six big waxes that Qu Shili had used, starting from two zhang away, and lighting one at every other step, so that the sixth big wax was three zhang away.

looked at the distance again, and said loudly: "You must all know that there is a kind of kung fu in the martial arts, such as splitting empty palms, and what I practice is outside the three zhangs, and empty-handed waxing is not considered a masterpiece. ”

I saw him push it out with one palm, and the flame of the first candle was immediately extinguished, and then the second palm and the third palm, a total of six palms, and all six candles were extinguished.

The formula of recruitment, the gas does not grow, and the face does not change color.

When I looked up, I didn't need to ask, everyone present was stunned.

Every time Yang Mu extinguishes a candle, the hearts of all the swordsmen skip a beat, and when the sixth candle goes out, Ma Hongwan almost fell off the seat.

Yes, there are kung fu such as splitting empty palms on the rivers and lakes, what dragon capture skills, crane control skills, hundred-step divine fists, shadowless palms, etc., there are not a few people who will know. But that's all tricks after getting close, most people don't move the leaves in the past with a palm outside of one zhang, and they don't hear of candles three feet away.

It can be seen that Yang Mu's internal strength has been perfected, and it has reached the point where flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people, a master of this level, not to mention ordinary sects, ordinary cottages, even in the five sects and thirteen sects, there are also a number of masters. Where are his opponents?

Ding Yu smiled and said: "Master Ma Zhai, heroes, is our brother's mastery enough?"

Ma Hong woke up like a dream, "It's enough, it's enough." I didn't expect that I, Ma Hongwan, had lived for half my life and became a frog at the bottom of the well. What's the point of guarding a broken cottage on this barren mountain? Now that you've seen three, it's not bad for the last one, Lu Liuxia, it's your turn. After practicing, I dismissed my brother and quit the rivers and lakes from then on. ”

"Dazhai Master ......"

Ma Hongwan waved his hand to interrupt Hao Yongxi's words, and said, "I will do what I say." ”

Ding Yu said: "Master Ma Zhai, you have the most dealings with my sixth brother, don't you know what my sixth brother's ability is?"

"I ......"

"It's not about whether the ability is good or bad, we just want to watch the stunts!" Hao Yongxi said with a jump.

This old man's sharp eyes had already seen Lu Chuan's embarrassed face in the back, and he expected that his stunt might not be as good-looking as his three brothers, so he was lucky.

Ding Erxia said: "My sixth brother's mastery has already been practiced. ”

"Have you practiced? Why didn't I see it? Did you see it?"

"Didn't you see it? The seniors were looking for the ancient tomb in the middle of the night, and when they were digging up dead things, their eyes were so thief, why couldn't you see them when people could see them during the day? Rats don't have this kind of ability, and old dogs do. How about I give my predecessor a nickname and call him Dog Dou?"

Liu Kenong, a Song man, has a poem: "Chewing is worse than cattle feeding, and it is as ugly as a dog sinus", this is the origin of the dog sinus, Ding Yu made a pun, that is, he scolded Hao Yongxi for being an old dog, and implied that he was shameless when he was old.

Hao Yongxi was so angry that he only rolled his eyes, but he didn't dare to fight back, he knew that Ding Yu was very good at his mouth, and if he replied, he was afraid that he would be angry and die on the spot.

Ma Hongwan coughed, diverted the topic and asked: "Ding Erxia said that he has practiced, I don't know which one he is talking about?" Lu Liuxia has tossed a lot on my mountain, but they are all mastery, and Ma is a little confused. ”

"Don't talk about the far, just take the close, Tang Guanlan Tang senior said clearly at the door, when I met with my sixth brother, there were two kinds of poisons, but my sixth brother did not invade with a hundred poisons, and there was no reaction. May I ask you, is this inviolable art considered a masterpiece? Can all of you here also practice?"

"Tang Lao'er is gone, there is no evidence, who knows if he was poisoned, what kind of poison is not!" Hao Yongxi is determined to raise the bar.

Ding Yu sneered: "Senior Tang is the helper invited by your Zhu family, and he will face us, it's really ridiculous! But it doesn't matter, there are still people who will be poisoned, if you think that you are invincible, you can try my third brother's poison, if you can get out of the palace alive, I Ding Yu will take off my head and send it to you!"

"Qu Sanxia is your own person, and you can't count them. Ding Yu, you don't have to be fast-tongued, the main owner is still there, you let Lu Chuan say it himself. ”

When Lu Chuan saw Hao Yongxi pushing himself out, he had to let out a sigh of relief, walked closer, and said, "Everyone wants to see a masterpiece, but I don't know if the two strokes I practice are considered mastery, so it's difficult." I think I'd better ask clearly, if you say it's a masterpiece, I'll practice it, and if you say it's not, I'll change it again. Count the more than ten years I have lived, and I have also practiced some kung fu, but they are all vulgar things that stand on stakes and meditate, and I dare not show ugliness in front of others, and everyone is a person who practices martial arts, and they will. There is only one thing that can be said if it can be taken out and said, that is, killing, I killed from Beijing to Nanjing, from outside the customs to inside the customs, I don't know if this is considered a masterpiece, if it is, I will kill someone on the spot, to help everyone have fun, what do you think?"

Hao Yongxi snorted coldly and said: "The sword is a murder weapon, and those who practice martial arts will not kill a few people in their lifetime, what kind of mastery is this? ”

Lu Chuan looked at Hao Yongxi coldly, and said lightly: "My killing is different, if I kill your old dog in three moves, is it considered a mastery?"

"Ahh

As he spoke, the old man flew up, pulled out a small blade one foot and two inches long from his waist, and stabbed it straight at Lu Chuan's heart.

In fact, don't look at this old man who was provoked by Lu Chuan to do it, in fact, the old man is bad, he has also become a famous swordsman, he has practiced martial arts for decades, although he is not Yang Mu's opponent, but it is more than enough to walk out of three rounds under Yang Mu's hands. Yang Mu can't kill himself in three moves, can Lu Chuan be better than Yang Mu? If he is better than Yang Mu, he won't be embarrassed by the mere mastery.

Therefore, he didn't ask anyone, he made a move at that time, firstly, he wanted to use Lu Chuan to hit Ding Yu Yang Mu's face, so that he could get out of his chest, and secondly, he made the first move, and Lu Chuan could only defend with his first move, so he only had two moves left, how could he kill himself?

But what he didn't expect was that Lu Chuan really didn't just shoot people with big words, he really wanted to practice his mastery.

I saw that he didn't dodge or dodge, watching Hao Yongxi's knife stab into his heart.

Hao Yongxi was a little suspicious at this time, he thought to himself: "Isn't this kid trying to kill himself?" No, if he dies, his three brothers will definitely refuse to give up, and if he starts with Yang Mu, I will definitely suffer." Thinking of this, his knife was a little slower, and if Lu Chuan really didn't hide, he would withdraw the knife, anyway, Lu Chuan said that he wanted to kill himself in three moves, and he didn't say that he wanted to kill him in three moves.

But at this moment, I saw Lu Chuan's face flushed, stretched out a blue hand, and grabbed Hao Yongxi's knife with one hand.

Hao Yongxi was taken aback and wanted to withdraw the knife, but the knife seemed to be embedded in Lu Chuan's hand, and he couldn't get it back with all his strength.

In this stunned moment, Lu Chuan moved, he turned half a circle, turned his back to Hao Yongxi, and the distance between the two was one step closer.

The sword was handed over to the left hand, and the backhand sword stabbed Hao Yongxi directly between the ribs, if this sword stabbed Hao Yongxi, he would have to be pierced by the sword.

If you want to say that Hao Yongxi is also confused, you say that you let go of the knife and jump back, can't you? He was stunned for fear of losing face, and he was also a master of the arts, and when he saw that Lu Chuan's back was in front of him, he slapped Lu Chuan's back heart with a palm.

He clearly thought that Lu Chuan would have to vomit blood if he went down with this palm, but he didn't think that this palm would go down, and Lu Chuan's body didn't move.

Now it was too late for him to let go, only to hear a pop, the Zixiao Silver Moon Sword entered through his left rib, and the tip of the sword was half a foot from the right rib.

Hao Yongxi never thought that he would die at the hands of a hairy boy who had just entered the rivers and lakes.

Lu Chuan pulled out the sword, and the blood suddenly flowed to the ground, and he held the blood sword and asked, "Is it considered a mastery to kill a swordsman in one move?"

There was silence in the hall, although everyone could see clearly that it was Hao Yongxi who underestimated the enemy, but Lu Chuan's kung fu was really good.

Not to mention grabbing the white blade empty-handed, Hao Yongxi's palm in a hurry used all his strength, Lu Chuan was unscathed, and this internal force was not much better than the famous swordsman, and even a few points stronger than many people.

In fact, they don't know the wonder of the exercise of the Crane Gong, Lu Chuan's own internal force is inferior to anyone present, but the internal force of the whole body is concentrated in one point, coupled with the blessing of retrograde qi and blood, the internal force of this point should not be underestimated.

It may not be possible to meet Yang Mu, but Hao Yongxi is not a problem.

More than 30 swordsmen present watched Lu Chuan kill Hao Yongxi, Soushansuo.

Yang Mu was shocked at the time, as the saying goes, he can be cured and not killed, the sixth brother is still reckless, if he doesn't kill it, forget it, but now that he sees blood, is there any variable, but it's hard to say. But it was his own brother, and there was no reason to blame him in front of others, so he took two steps forward and stood side by side with his brother.

Ding Erxia is different, he is so happy that he is dancing a little, and his heart speaks, "Old dog, yes, let you bark blindly."

"Everyone, have you seen it? If you want to say that you are capable, if you want to say absolutely, it has to be my sixth brother, kill the old dog with one move, and go in with a sword, how crisp and happy! Who else? Who else is not convinced?"

Ma Hongwan's face sank at that time, "Master Yang Dazhai, what do you say about this? Let's talk about the good and harmonious spirit of the martial arts, after the practice, I will dismiss the cottage and withdraw from the rivers and lakes, but Lu Chuan is in front of me, in front of all the swordsmen, he killed the good friend I invited, how do you let me explain to my friends in the rivers and lakes? How to explain to his old man's family?"

Yang Mu was just about to speak, but Ding Yu rushed to the front, on this occasion, he was more proficient, only to see him sneer and say: "Master Ma Zhai, as the master of a village, you are a reasonable character who speaks and does things, don't take it for granted." As the saying goes, if you're not afraid of no good things, you're afraid of no good people, and I think it's this old thing surnamed Hao that hinders our peace talks. Now that he's dead, we can talk about it properly, but you're complaining about our brother? Who didn't see that it was the hand surnamed Hao who made the first move? He stabbed my brother in the heart, and you let my brother next to him? He just asked for himself, and if I want me to say it, I should do it. ”

Ma Hongwan talked about where Ding Erxia's opponent was in terms of kung fu, but he was silent, and only after half a day did he say: "This matter is too sudden, let me think about it." You must be tired, so go down and rest first, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning. ”

Ding Yu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yang Mu and said, "In this case, we are waiting for good news." ”

"Come on, take the four village owners down to rest, don't wait slowly. ”
