Volume 1 The Birds Go, the People Disperse Chapter 9 Undercurrents
The moonlight shone on a wooded hill, and the moonlight like water pierced through the gaps to illuminate four blurred figures. The warm bonfire was blazing, and four people, three and one small, all dressed in different shapes, sat on the ground and gossiped. It was Zhao Kai, Yang Xiao, Big Hammer and Wang Qi.
"Longyou Doll, come out and come out, it's not for nothing to raise you, put on a show for the master. The voice sounded extremely scattered, and the owner of this voice, Wang Qi, was holding the ground with his hands, and his body was shaking slightly, which was very pleasant.
I saw a porcelain doll dressed in red suddenly appear next to the bonfire, the moonlight was like water, and the flames were fire, all of which were embellished for this doll that was the spirit of heaven and earth. I only heard him say in a childish voice: "What are you performing, it's not you who raise me, I have a master." After speaking, he swayed lightly and suddenly appeared beside Zhao Kai like a swimming fish. Today's Zhao Kai is still handsome, but his temperament has changed greatly, and the simple little robe on Zhao Kai does not have too much sense of disobedience. After months of rushing in the scorching sun, the daily boxing practice made the child's skin less tender than before, and more healthy wheat. At this time, the child's face showed a helpless look, obviously this Wang Qi and Longyou Doll are also a pair of enemies.
Walking these days, the original three-person small group has gradually accepted the new two, mainly accepting Wang Qi's unobtrusive temperament, which is much more unreliable than the so-called weird man Yang Xiao. What's more, everyone can basically be sure that Wang Qi has no malicious intentions, one reason is that Wang Qi's Wangqi technique that day has already entered the hall, in addition to talent, the inheritance of the master is also extremely important, and in his mouth, his master is the senior brother of the contemporary head of Wudang Mountain, the Taoist name is "Scattered Immortal", and his generation and tone are very great. In Yang Xiao's uncertain inquiry, Zhao Kai learned that this immortal is more capable, although he is not obvious on weekdays, but as long as he talks about the sheep intestines of various cultivation circles, people in the cultivation will give a thumbs up to this uninhibited immortal.
Yang Xiao is one of his admirers, so later Yang Xiao's attitude towards Wang Qi changed greatly, calling him brother and brother, Wang Qi was not ambiguous, and threatened to introduce this extremely close Brother Yang to his master, and then there will definitely be the name of the strange hero Yang Xiao in the various leisure fields in the cultivation world. The two often let out a hehey smirk when they talked about their feelings, and the big hammer next to them and Zhao Kai rolled their eyes and didn't want to speak.
It is said that this Longyou doll returned to the master's side, and the confidence to speak suddenly increased, with his hands on his waist, and said in a very bluffing old man's mouth: "You are a little way, you don't have a proper shape, you think about how to harm others every day, and when my master is strong enough, I will definitely educate you well." β
And at this time, Zhao Kai was quite helpless, he had just fused with this sword spirit yesterday, although there was Yang Xiao's protective array outside, and Wang Qi could be relieved to fuse the formation drawn with special materials, but the pain was no longer something that a child of his age could easily withstand, those hours, Zhao Kai felt that every second was torment, and the consumption of the will was beyond his expectations, and then he simply rested here after the fusion, and used Yang Xiaojiao's unique breathing technique to restore his spirit, but even after a day Zhao Kai's fatigue has not been completely eliminated, sitting on the ground at this time, leaning against a big stump, the laziness exuded from the inside out can be seen that his body is still extremely tired at this timeγ
"Walk dozens of miles ahead to the boundary of the Black Corner Village. Yang Xiao reminded everyone.
The people in the rivers and lakes either joined the sect so that they could support the scene in the fight times, or they were unrestrained as casual cultivators. But this black corner village is a special place, both the sect of the group, and there are casual days of casual cultivation can live, many green forest strongmen gather here, rob the house, there is no doubt that the largest bandit village of the Dafeng Dynasty is not a good place, the bandits are not a good bird, but the people here are the most righteous, the so-called heroic knights who can report the name of the rivers and lakes have always been those who do not refuse.
"Do you want to take a detour. Otherwise, it is estimated that there will be some time in this village, and I am afraid that there will be a little trouble. Sledgehammer said.
And that Wang Qi was still teasing Longyou Baby at this time, obviously not caring about this matter at all.
Yang Xiao thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Do you remember what the leader said last time in the merit room?"
Sledgehammer looked puzzled, not knowing what to say. Yang Xiao continued: "He said that there are traces that someone is deliberately looking for our group, and it is very fast and skillful, of course, this is just speculation, and it may also be a cup bow snake shadow." β
Wang Qi stopped the repeated teasing movements in his hand and joined the topic, "Wait for Xiaodao to count a hexagram." After speaking, he took it out of his bosom, and a relatively tattered cloth appeared on the ground, on which directions, hours, numbers, gossip, and so on were written in order. I don't know when he took out a few copper coins in his hand, Wang Qi shook the copper coins in his palm like a decent, wearing a wide robe, with a shawl and long hair untied, swaying slightly with the evening breeze, his appearance was handsome, and the laziness in his face was gone, but it was not serious, replaced by an indescribable romance. Hexagram and hexagram.
"Ninety-two and ninety-five yang, for the rigid, respectively in the middle of the lower hexagram and the upper hexagram. The sixth and sixth yin lines of the first six are soft, and they live under the two yang lines respectively. Xun hexagram, middle and upper hexagram, Xun is the wind, the two Xun are heavy, and there is a long wind that follows. Xun, into also, for the meaning of residence. One yin is lying below the two yang, symbolizing volt and shun. β
Everyone stared at Wang Qi one after another, only to see Wang Qi raise his hand to collect the copper coin, and continued in his mouth: "Heijiao Village, it's decided." β
The mountain breeze in the early morning is slightly cool, Zhao Kai is the first to wake up, the day before yesterday Longyou Sword fused into the body, although painful, but the body was born with a stream of heat, the circulation area is all over the body meridians, yesterday when practicing boxing, I found that it seems that my physical fitness has increased in all aspects, now the Longyou Sword can be hidden in the body, not afraid of revealing wealth, Zhao Kai can not look inside, just let the sword spirit choose the trick points in the body, occupy the mountain as the king, according to the sword spirit, the dragon sword in Zhao Kai's body trick point warming, Zhao Kai and Long You Sword are beneficial.
At this time, Zhao Kai felt the mountain breeze blowing, and the slightest coolness touched the skin and did not feel cold, but it had a refreshing effect. The lower body squatted slightly, the upper body was straight, the hands posed out of the quaint boxing frame, there was a fist intent flowing between a movement and a stillness, Zhao Kai felt that now he had a more keen perception of the flow of the surrounding qi, at this time he only felt that he played this set of Yang Xiao Xingyi Fist with slight changes, it was easy and natural, punch after punch, you can lift weight if light, and you can lift light if heavy, obviously has reached the realm, Yang Xiao, who just woke up next to him, nodded secretly.
Heijiaozhai is located in the southeast bank of Qilu, the first big river in Dafengjing, facing the Baima ferry of Qilu River in the north, facing Tongji Canal in the south; The north-south canal is the main traffic artery of Dafeng, and Heijiaozhai can be called a military strategic place. However, as far as the location of Heijiaozhai is concerned, it is a remote place in the eastern county, where the Qilu River has flooded many times, resulting in undulating soil ridges, overgrown trees, vertical and horizontal ditches, flocks of water birds, and reeds all over the field, this environment is not only convenient for garrisoning troops, but also convenient for attacking.
In order to gather armed forces and defend against enemy attacks, several of these leaders led people to build a magnificent wall with a radius of more than 20 square miles around them, which was very magnificent.
On the way to Heijiao Village, the four of them kept talking about the current owner of the village, Zhao Ying, who is the biggest leader among them. "There are thirty-six big leaders under this Du Ying, all of them are heroic figures who can dominate one side, but they are willing to obey Du Ying's orders, this person is by no means simple. Sledgehammer said.
Yang Xiao continued: "It is rumored that this person is strong in martial arts, but almost no one on the rivers and lakes has seen him shoot, he was kind and charitable when he walked the rivers and lakes, and he was quite heroic, so he was able to gather such a group of dragons and tigers to entrench in the village." β
Wang Qi smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, Xiaodao's master has a lot of friendship with him, and he won't embarrass us in the future, and I tell you, this Du Ying is not as mysterious as rumored, and his degree of impropriety can compete with my master."
When the other three heard this, they became even more curious about Du Ying.
Twilight summer is coming, the mountains are not hot at noon, and there is shade to block the light, now the road is quite easy, the four of them found a waterhole, Zhao Kai hurriedly followed Yang Xiao and the sledgehammer into the water to catch fish, after a desperate struggle to return empty-handed, Wang Qi looked at Zhao Kai's drooping face and laughed unjustly, Zhao Kai also lost his temper, ignoring this scoundrel who was hanging around, fortunately Yang Xiao and the sledgehammer are experts, four catfish are baked on the fire, plus a little salt and special sauces, it can be regarded as an improvement in the roadγ
The four of them sat on the ground in a row full of food and drink, facing the calm and gentle waterhole on the water's surface, not wanting to move. However, beneath the surface of the water, an unclear undercurrent that no one can check is surging, waiting to give the four of them an inadvertent blow.
People at the water's edge talk and laugh, and occasionally a cute fat doll pops up and throws a tantrum. However, in a dark corner under the water, a figure was motionless, the face of this person could not be seen clearly in the dark light, only a general outline could be seen, it was close to the bottom of the water, and the extremely low water temperature seemed to freeze this person, but the strange thing was that the water pressure at the bottom of the water did not affect this person, and the body that did not touch the slightest ripple did not look like a living thing, and the sound of laughter outside had been distorted here, everything was so weird.
The four people on the shore did not notice it at all, and after laughing for a while, they cleaned up the traces of eating fish and prepared to go on the road, Zhao Kai walked towards Tan Bian with solid steps to get water.
The kettle makes a sound when it hits the water, then the kettle is replaced and the kettle continues to clatter. The third kettle, Zhao Kai did not pause, his hand shook gently in the cool water, feeling the coolness and comfort, Zhao Kai lost his mind slightly. However, the next moment, the water surface suddenly became extremely cold, the air around Zhao Kai seemed to be frozen, and the qi engine was instantly locked, and before Zhao Kai could withdraw his hand that was about to freeze, a column of water rose above the water surface, not straight into the sky, but weirdly curved, like a snake opening its big mouth towards Zhao Kai to swallow.
With a buzz, the dragon swam out of his body, trembling incessantly, blocking the monstrous water column, Zhao Kai was shocked and slid backwards, but the surrounding temperature continued to drop, and the icy chill quickly approached, and in the blink of an eye, a figure shrouded in armor appeared in front of Zhao Kai. The other three were already shocked in their hearts, and they were all speeding towards this side.
