Chapter 36: Before the Decisive Battle
The news that Jin Jiuling is an embroidery thief blew through the martial arts like a typhoon, ruthlessly refreshing the three views of many people, and the bitter gourd master held a bitter gourd-like face to collect Jin Jiuling's corpse, and gradually disappeared into the martial arts.
Gongsun Lan finally found out the "second sister" of the ghost in the red shoes from the Jin Jiuling incident, but her mind is not on the organization of the red shoes now, and now she has become Hua Manlou's follower, Lu Xiaofeng, who doesn't know the inside story, is about to fall off, and the sisters of the red shoes are also shocked by the actions of the eldest sister.
"You go to Xue's house to find Xue Bing!" Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng lost it, he knew that it was precious, and he missed Xue Bing all day long, but Hua Manlou still told him the truth.
"Alas!" After learning that the Snake King died in the hands of Xue Bing, Lu Xiaofeng sighed and went to Xue's house to find Xue Bing, but he didn't ask for forgiveness, and came back dejected, and ran to Huamanlou Xiaolou to get drunk for three days and left.
"In his bones, Lu Xiaoji is a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, and there is nothing to say about being friends with him, but it is difficult for a woman to live with him!" After Hua Manlou waited for Lu Xiaofeng to leave, he said to the house, Gongsun Lan, Shi Xiuxue, and Xiaocui, which attracted the unanimous approval of the three of them.
Hua Manlou, who had regained his calm, began to ponder his martial arts again, and the top priority was to regain his sight, and recently through the cultivation of "Nine Turns Xuangong", he had opened the cultivation of the five internal organs of the mouth and tongue. Fire, earth, metal, and water for the tongue, mouth, nose, and ears, and the circulation of the five elements is easy to open the cultivation of the five viscera and liver and gallbladder acupoints corresponding to the eyes, and finally feed back the acupoints around the eyes, and naturally restore vision.
Congenital blindness, Hua Manlou has not been able to sense the liver, gallbladder and its corresponding eye acupuncture points, can only practice other tongue, mouth, nose, ear, through the five elements of symbiosis to sense the liver, gallbladder eye acupuncture points, there is already a vague induction, but at present, the mouth corresponds to the spleen, stomach, tongue corresponds to the heart, small intestine five viscera and six internal organs acupuncture points have not yet been warmed, so we still have to wait, at present it is the summer corresponding to the fire, earth five elements are also very suitable very good, it is estimated that next spring can start the wood line eyes corresponding to the liver and gallbladder acupoint cultivation, next year may be able to regain vision.
In autumn, the leaves begin to turn yellow, the flowers of spring and summer have turned into ripe fruits, the fruits are full of hanging branches, the autumn wind has gradually risen, the small courtyard full of flowers is full of chrysanthemums of various colors, there are yellow, white, purple, red, pink, green, black, mud gold, snow blue and other colors, colorful, competing with each other, from time to time there are bees buzzing and flying around diligently.
August 15, the night of the full moon, the top of the purple gold, a sword from the west, flying immortals outside the sky!
Time is slowly moving towards late autumn, and recently the rivers and lakes suddenly flowed out of the news that Ye Gucheng and Ximen were blowing snow and comparing swords, and the location was the Purple Mountain in Moling.
"Young master, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow have both fought each other, who will win the competition between the two of them?" Xiao Cui asked, obviously having received the news, and was ready to bet with some monthly money, there have been many villages on the rivers and lakes recently, betting on the victory or defeat of the two.
Gongsun Lan and Shi Xiuxue also looked at Hua Manlou very seriously, in fact, the two of them were also very curious, who would win, and the two were very much looking forward to listening to Hua Manlou's statement.
"The martial arts competition on the rivers and lakes is not that you will win if you have high internal strength, for example, you will have a set of mastery, poor internal strength, and exquisite moves can beat most people with higher internal strength than yourself, which has a very deep understanding of the children of various sects, Xiaocui, your current swordsmanship can be better than some masters who have passed through some of the eight veins of the strange scriptures. Hua Manlou began to popularize his knowledge of martial arts to the three of them, and then continued: "But whether you have experience in the rivers and lakes is also very important, the general disciples of the big faction just came out of the mountain gate, and they were put by people who were far inferior to martial arts, and they had no experience in facing the enemy, and it was easy to die, especially those who used poison and used hidden weapons, which is the most experienced aunt." ”
Shi Xiuxue and Gongsun Lan nodded very agreeably, the two are typical representatives, Shi Xiuxue, who was born in the big faction, lacked experience in fighting the rivers and lakes, and almost died under the poisonous needle of Shangguan Feiyan;
"Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue have no shortage of exquisite tricks, and they are also very experienced in fighting the enemy, so there is only one left for the two to compete in internal strength and kendo perception. As far as the martial arts of the two of them are concerned, Ximen Blowing Snow is a big step behind Ye Gucheng, and it is not as good as Ye Gucheng in terms of swordsmanship or internal strength, but Ye Gucheng gives me the feeling that the martial arts and swordsmanship have been inadvancing, and the martial arts of Ximen Blowing Snow are advancing by leaps and bounds, and the gap will slowly narrow, and I don't dare to say who will win until I see the situation of the two in the final competition. After Hua Manlou recalled the situation with the two, he slowly expressed his judgment.
"Then young master, who do you think has a better chance of winning?" Xiao Cui still wants to know the exact answer, so he can bet, and now everyone in the Hua family is discussing this matter, and they are all ready to bet to win.
"If nothing else, Ye Gucheng will win!" After thinking about it, Hua Manlou said the answer, and secretly thought in his heart: "If Ye Gucheng didn't want to participate in the rebellion of the Pingnan Palace, there would be no duel at all, even if the two of them were to compete, the whole Jianghu knew that Ye Gucheng's mental obstacle should be related to the royal family, and no matter how he looked at this rebellion, it would not be good for him." ”
"Young Master, are you really sure that Ye Gucheng will win?" Xiao Cui confirmed once, ready to go out and place a bet.
"You don't have to bet, prepare my money, and the young master will take you with you when the time comes!" "Xiao Cui, who stopped Hua Manlou and was about to bet, ordered, there is such a good opportunity to make money, of course I will not let it go, and I am not afraid of others defaulting on the debt.
Shi Xiuxue, Gongsun Lan, and Xiaocui looked at Hua Manlou with shocked expressions, but they didn't expect Hua Manlou to bet.
"I'm going to follow too, you can't refuse!" Gongsun Lan, who loves money like life, doesn't want to let go of this opportunity.
Finally, Hua Manlou and Gongsun Lan, who counted the family property, were ready to take out a huge sum of 100,000 taels of silver to bet, the Hua family had money, but Hua Manlou could only take out 30,000 taels of silver, and the remaining 70,000 taels of silver were all used by Gongsun Lan to bet on the money of the Red Shoes Finance for many years, Xiaocui and Shi Xiuxue had no money, and the two could only play on a hundred taels of silver.
Just when Shi Xiuxue, Gongsun Lan, and Xiaocui were fantasizing about the dream of making a fortune and were about to bet on it, the rivers and lakes suddenly came out and rescheduled, August 15 became September 15, and the location changed from the Purple Mountain in Moling to the top of the Forbidden City of the Imperial Palace, which caught the heroes of the rivers and lakes and their people who were ready to gamble and make a fortune off guard. The news was even more sensational than the last time, and it instantly spread all over the world, from the high-ranking officials of the court and temples to the ordinary traders of the rivers and lakes.
