Chapter 3 The suburbs of the capital

Let's say that the night is getting darker, Yuan Le and the others followed the hat all the way to the west, never thought to follow straight out of the capital, and lost their direction in a forest on the outskirts. The two searched around in the forest, but there was no sign of the hat.

"Senior brother, isn't there an injury on this thief's body, how can he work lightly but not see any damage. Senior Brother Nale was timid in his words, thinking that he was shocked by the momentum of killing the mad monk with one move just now, and his heart palpitated.

Senior Brother Yuan saw that time kept passing, and the two of them had been searching for a long time to no avail, but the sky had gradually darkened, and he was also anxious in his heart, "This person has the treasure of Huaiyang Jade on his body, if he lets him run away, ......"

Speaking of this, Yuan Le and the others couldn't help but beat the drum in their hearts when they thought of the master's usual harsh methods. And Senior Brother Le didn't know if the cold wind was blowing, or if he was scared, and he couldn't help but tremble. Senior Brother Yuan knew that his junior brother had always been a little timid, and it was difficult to use it when he was in a hurry, and now that he had not found any trace of the hat, he would be out of luck for half a meeting.

When he was hesitating, many birds in the woods on the west side were frightened and flew up, and the two Taoist priests hurriedly looked for that place, and before they went far, they suddenly saw a bright light in the northwest corner of the front, and there were faint human voices, as if many people were gathered there, and the two of them raised their breath and moved closer to that side.

When the two approached, they found that there was a large clearing in the forest, and a large group of people were already standing in the bustling forest. Many people carried torches, illuminating the open space in the dark night very brightly. And in the middle of the crowd was a swordsman wearing a slumbling body wearing a robe, which was the man with a hat they were looking for.

The two looked into the arena and identified the people inside, most of the people around the hat were people from their own Yushu Temple, and there were also many people from the rivers and lakes invited by Yushu Temple to help the boxing, and there were people from all walks of life.

In total, there are at least hundreds of people in the field, especially the Yushu Temple, where more than half of the elite are already here.

"Senior brother, it's Uncle Yan, let's go over and join them and catch that thief together." Seeing this, Senior Brother Le was very excited, thinking that there were many people, the sense of fear was gone, and the courage in his waist was a lot stronger.

Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Yuan stopped him at once and made a silence: "Slow, look over there." Senior Brother Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed to a bush in front of them on the right, only to see a dark shadow crouching there. The grass was thick, the torches in the field did not reach, and the sky was dark, and no one in the middle clearing noticed the existence of a black shadow. There was a man lying on his stomach in such a hidden corner, apparently watching the changes in the center of the field with malicious intent.

Senior Brother Le was also taken aback when he looked in the direction of Senior Brother Yuan's finger, and secretly sighed that it was so dangerous, if it wasn't for Senior Brother being clever, otherwise he would have entered the arena directly, and the two of them would have been exposed to the sight of that person. Fortunately, now from the enemy dark and I am bright to the enemy is bright and I am dark, when I think of a way to reap the benefits of the fisherman. The two brothers made a private comparison, and they had a plan, and they also quietly crouched down, and gave the man a trick to catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind.

When the two were calculating, a loud laugh suddenly came from the clearing: "Hahaha, I didn't expect us to meet again, I miss Yan Kui very much." I saw a person standing in the crowd surrounded by the open space, who was tall and tall, full of white hair, but his face did not look old, his face was full of red light, and his voice was like a bell, but his head was wrapped with a white cloth to cover his left ear, and there were blood stains on it.

As soon as his laughter fell, his face sank: "The surname is Zhang, the people in the rivers and lakes gave you the name Jian Cao, and blew your martial arts to the sky, but according to my Yan, it is also commonplace." If it weren't for the sharpness of your sword yesterday, you deceived me with only a pair of fleshy palms, and you couldn't hurt me if you wanted to, and if you meet again today, shouldn't this account be calculated?"

Uncle Yan's demeanor was arrogant, and his tone was not good, but Jian Ke didn't react much when he heard it, and it seemed that the people who were closer heard him snort secretly, which was a response to this Uncle Yan.

Yan Kui continued, "But I, Yan, am also considered to be some famous in the rivers and lakes, not an unreasonable person, my injuries are small, but you steal my treasure, what do you want! Today, all the heroes are here, you have no way to escape, if you obediently hand over the treasure, cut off your ears and kowtow to me three times, you can spare your life, otherwise you will be left on the ground immediately!"

In addition to the Yushu Temple, there are still many people from the rivers and lakes mixed in, Yan Kui "inadvertently" revealed his internal skills when he spoke, and the people around him handed him admiring eyes, which made him very proud.

But Jian Ke replied leisurely: "I didn't take the treasure in your view, if it is gone, it must be that you are guarding and stealing it, and you want to pass it on to me." Jian Ke's voice was not loud, but there was a cold force that penetrated into people's hearts, and the wind in the forest turned cold at night, and everyone around him suddenly felt cold.

Yan Kui saw that he had put aside his involvement and looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and his left ear was still aching, and his heart was annoyed: "The surname is Zhang! Don't be embarrassed, that day you came out of the forbidden place in my view, and fled in a panic with light skills." I saw it with Liu and Yu. The three of us hurriedly entered the forbidden place to inspect only to find that the treasure of Zhenguan was gone, who else could take it if you didn't take it? Today, you can either hand over the treasure or leave your head behind!" Yan Kui threatened, but Jian Ke didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't reply for a long time.

Yan Kui saw Jian Cao's contemptuous attitude, and cut his face in public, his chest was on fire, and he said angrily, "Are you deaf!"

Jian Ke smiled contemptuously, clearly showing that I heard but I didn't bother to talk to you, and he didn't show any fear.

Yan Kui's fists clenched tightly and shouted, "That's you killing yourself, don't say I didn't give you a chance." After speaking, he didn't wait any longer, and instantly jumped up and slapped his hand at the sword keyuan.

It is said that there is still a distance between Yan Kui and Jian Cao, but he relies on his strong internal strength and wants to show his skills in front of everyone. This palm method route is fierce, and there is a faint thunder when it is blasted out, especially the stronger the internal strength of the person who casts it, the more fierce the palm wind is, and after practicing to a certain level, it can even hurt the opponent in the air. The onlookers saw that Yan Kui could perform his palm technique in the air, and they were shocked that he had practiced the thunder control palm to such a thing, and sighed that his internal strength was amazing.

Although Yan Kui showed disdain, he actually knew that the other party's martial arts were by no means easy to match, and this palm condensed his extremely strong internal force, but due to the deliberate long-distance aerial play, the palm power was weakened a lot, and it should not hurt him.

Yan Kui had already had a plan in his heart, thinking that as long as he dodged the sword, he prepared a few moves, and did not give him a chance to breathe, and frequently made moves, so he should be able to use this suppressive style to gain an advantage.

I never thought that Jian Ke would not dodge or dodge when he saw Yan Kui's palm attack, as if he was not afraid at all. Yan Kui's palm has not arrived, and the palm wind has already brought the surrounding sand and rocks. The officials who were close to them suddenly felt that they couldn't breathe.

Jian Ke didn't care, his face was as usual, and the huge palm wind only drove the corners of his clothes. Yan Kui felt something strange in his heart, but then he thought, this is your own child looking for death, you have to blame me, just slash to the end with one palm and take you away!

Unexpectedly, the sword treated Yan Kui's palm in front of him, his lower body did not move, and his upper body only deviated slightly, and then he dodged this palm, and his movements were as fast as a ghost, and his dodge moves were unusual.

Yan Kui saw that he missed a palm, so he didn't have time to think about it, and then the move followed. "Thunder palm" is Yan Kui's famous stunt, when Yanggangpo battled, only one palm killed three green forest heroes, the three of them were pierced, the power is like thunder, since then the reputation of the sensation in the rivers and lakes, it can be seen that this set of palm is extremely powerful. However, this palm method is also extremely demanding for the user, and if it is not for the internal force, it will be difficult to control it.

Yan Kui made one move after another, not giving Jian Ke a chance to breathe, and slapped more than 20 palms in a row, but he couldn't hit him with one palm, and he avoided the slightest mistake in his move. As the old saying goes, no matter how strong your skills are, it is useless to hit people, not to mention that this palm technique consumes a lot of internal power of the user, even if Yan Kui has a deep foundation, he can't withstand such a thin air consumption.

Yan Kui was fighting, gradually getting anxious, and yelled: "You thief, you will only blindly dodge, are you afraid of me or what!"

Hearing this, Jian Ke snorted secretly, stabilized his originally shaky body, and put on a posture of facing it head-on. Yan Kui found that the excitement was effective, and he shouted and took the move, slapped out with both palms, and slapped Jian Ke in front of the chest with a "two-pronged move".

Jian Ke raised his hand slightly, and when Yan Kui's palms came, he only lightly took a bit, bringing his palm power crookedly. Yan Kui was too strong to retract his palm, and his figure suddenly showed flaws. Jian Ke sneered, and with a stumbling blow under his feet, Yan Kui couldn't control himself at all, and fell to the side. In the whole fight, the swordsman did not use the sword behind his back, so Yan Kui suffered a big loss, that is, he didn't give him an excuse to find a sharp sword.

Yan Kui cherishes face the most, this time it is very embarrassing to suffer in front of everyone, annoyed and ashamed, he immediately turned over and jumped up with his palms on the ground, and did not wait for his body to be completely straight, so he used the ground hall leg method on the spot, and his feet came out frequently, intending to overturn the sword and save face.

Although Jian Cao's figure looked swaying, his light skills were indeed good, and a few roundabouts stood out, avoiding Yan Kui's leg technique.

Yan Kuiquan did not make any contributions, his feet had no career, and he was completely compared to Jian Cao, which was shocked and angry. And his fierce pursuit and fierce fight was like child's play in Jian Ke's eyes, and he felt that he could not be a threat at all.

Yan Kui was dodged by Jian Cao with two more flying kicks, and he was very impatient: "It's dodging again, your crazy monk master only taught you the ability to escape for your life!" When the swordsman heard this, a black gas suddenly appeared on his face, and when he saw Yan Kui's leg method, he no longer dodged, and he also used a move to the ground leg as it was, and his feet intersected, and everyone only heard the "click", Yan Kui screamed and was kicked and rolled out, lying on the ground and covering his right leg and screaming in pain, thinking that it should be broken.

Seeing this scene, several Taoist priests immediately rushed out of the crowd and hurriedly carried Yan Kui back. The Taoist priests in the surrounding Yushu audience glared at Jian Ke one after another, especially Yan Kui's disciples, who were all angry when they saw that the master was injured, but they were afraid that this person's martial arts were too high, and the master was not enough, let alone himself.

Everyone in the open space saw that this swordsman's martial arts were so high, and even the famous Yan Kui was not an opponent at all, and everyone who was cheering and cheering just now was silent.

At this time, two people slowly stood up in the crowd, and one of them hugged his fist to Jian Ke and said, "In Xia Liuquan, deacon for Yushuguan." Your Excellency's martial arts are strong and obvious to all. But there is no single word in the world. Your Excellency has come to me to observe the treasure of the town, and I am very welcome. But taking it without telling it is not a gentleman's doing. And this treasure is the ancestor of my enlightenment, and it has been passed down for hundreds of years. I am a priceless treasure of great significance, and it is useless to others, I hope that Your Excellency will raise your noble hand and give it back, and the small view is grateful, if you have money and wealth, even if you open your mouth, although I am poor, I will also help each other, and hurt my brother, we are not to blame in the past. ”

This person is not tall, in his fifties, slightly obese, looking kind, speaking very politely and politely, compared to the domineering Yan Kui, he seems to be much easier to get along with, I think it is Uncle Liu in Yuan Le's mouth. And the man standing next to him was as withered as his face. The two long eyebrows hung down to the corners of his mouth, his skin was dark but he was wearing a pure white robe, he was full of gloom, his appearance was not friendly, and he looked very eye-catching, which was supposed to be Uncle Yu.

As soon as Liu Quan said this, everyone was in a commotion, thinking that Yushu saw that Jian Cao's martial arts were strong, so he lowered his posture and began to discuss. And Yuan Le and the others, who were lurking in the grass, also looked at each other when they saw that Uncle Yan was injured, and they didn't dare to make a sound. Thinking that Uncle Yan has always regarded himself as a strong martial artist in Guanzhong on weekdays, no one is convinced except for the head of Guanzhong, and he looks high and majestic all day long, and now it ends like this, which is really embarrassing.

In fact, all those who have insight in the view know that although Yan Kui is the earliest and most famous among the three masters in the view, he is the most famous. But when it comes to real skills, his two junior brothers, Liu Quan, are as good as Yu Dao. It's just that Liu Quan has always been modest, rarely makes external moves, and is busy with internal and external affairs all day long, and takes care of the head of the house in an orderly manner. And the other junior brother Yu Dao, who acts withdrawn, does not interact with outsiders very much, and is closed all the year round in the view, and has a slight communication with the senior brother Liu Quan on weekdays, so Liu Yu's reputation outside is not as loud as Yan Kui.

However, the three of them have their own martial arts, and the three of them and the current head are the four most proud disciples of the previous head of the Void Dao Master. Back then, the Void Dao Master had four stunts and passed on his four proud protégés. and declared that whoever can practice the stunt he has taught first will succeed to the throne. Senior brother Chengde, was awarded the Void Spirit Swordsmanship, the swordsmanship is good at fast, so that when moving, the virtual and real, varied, after practicing to a very high level, can kill people invisibly; and the second senior brother Yan Kui, was awarded the thunder palm, the palm is extremely powerful, the applause is like thunder, this palm can be of great benefit to the practitioner's internal force, practice to the depths of the essence, can kill people in the air; the third senior brother Liu Quan was awarded the flame palm, the palm wind is hot, and everything within the reach of the palm force will turn into ashes, revealing a supreme and yang qi; the fourth senior brother Yu Dao was awarded the cold ice palm method, the palm method is extremely yin damage, and the palm takes the bone marrow of the person after the palm。 And Yu Dao is small and smart, and his martial arts understanding is very high, and then he happened to meet by chance, and he was a great success, and he could not be cured after hitting people with internal injuries, and he had endless troubles. When these four people were young, they created the heyday of Yushu Temple, and thirty years ago, the people of Jianghu were called "Yushu Four Masters".

Later, in the battle for the head of Yushuguan, the senior brother Chengde was still a step ahead, and he first practiced the Void Spirit Sword Technique to the highest level, and was awarded the position of the head of the house. The third senior brother Liu Quan was originally an indifferent person, and he didn't make a noise when he lost, and the fourth senior brother was withdrawn from the Tao, and he didn't have much contact with the children of Guanzhong, and he didn't show his kung fu to others, and he couldn't take over the position of the head of the house. And the second senior brother Yan Kui has always been ambitious, and he really wants to take the position of head of the house in one step, but he was very dissatisfied when he saw that the head of the void passed on the position to the senior brother, so he privately asked the senior brother for a competition, but the result was a complete defeat. The senior brother Chengde even showed mercy to all kinds of subordinates when he competed, which convinced Yan Kui and settled the battle for the head.

These four people are very strong in martial arts, but they never thought that they would not often walk around in the martial arts in the past ten years, and there were some outstanding juniors on the rivers and lakes, and the one who was in the limelight was an unknown swordsman, the swordsman was ruthless in killing, and ruthless, and even deviated from the scriptures and betrayed the teacher, but there was only one purpose that did not shoot at children and women It is more special.

This swordsman's swordsmanship is extremely strong, and his attainments in swordsmanship are almost in the realm, and the people of the rivers and lakes give him the nickname "Jian Cao", which is the supreme evaluation of a swordsman's swordsmanship. A few months ago, the treasure in the Yushu Temple suddenly disappeared, and it happened that Jian Ke appeared in the Yushu Temple at that time, and everyone thought that the treasure of the Zhenguan was stolen by him. So the elites in the view came out and searched everywhere, intending to capture this person and recover the treasure.

Until a few days ago, Jian Ke was found in the suburbs of the capital, and finally yesterday, the masters and apprentices of Yushuguan met him on the official road on the outskirts of the capital. In addition to the senior brother Chengde, the head of the Guanzhong, did not come, the three masters gathered, and brought nearly a hundred disciples to a melee with Jian Ke outside the capital, and fought for a long time, before he could be injured by the fourth Yu Dao's sneak attack, but he still couldn't keep the person and let him run away, Yushuguan broke a few disciples, and even Lao Yan's left ear was cut off. Such a shame and humiliation made Yan Kui furious, and vowed to take revenge.

Today, in the forest on the outskirts of the capital, he surrounded this person again, Yan Kui spoke wildly, and tried his best to ask a single person to save face, and he didn't need the help of others, but he ended up in a complete defeat. Liu Quan was afraid that the situation on the field would get out of control, so he hurriedly stood up and spoke to stabilize the scene, while Yu Dao stood aside with compassion and did not make a sound.
