CHAPTER XVI

Back at the Xiangquan Teahouse, the shopkeeper Bai saw Sheng Liuye, hurriedly came over to say hello, and said, "I just heard that Sheng Daxia is chasing a person, are you okay?" Sheng Liuye smiled: "It's all a misunderstanding, I'm fine." When the shopkeeper saw the old man and the young man, he was pleasantly surprised: "Sheng Daxia, it turns out that you have found Mr. Ding." In a word, Sheng Liuye, the old man and the young man were stunned, Sheng Liuye looked at the old man, and his heart was overjoyed, he really stepped on the iron shoes and found nowhere to find it, this old man was Ding Qi, a monk in Huanyang, and next to him was his grandson Ding Mantang.

In the private room of the teahouse, just after Sheng Liuye reported his surname, Mr. Ding was pleasantly surprised: "It's a golden knife hero, it's really disrespectful." Ding Mantang said happily: "You are the Golden Sword Man Sheng Tianlong, why do you only have two arms and the other four." Mr. Ding's face sank, and he shouted: "Bastard! People have two arms, you see which one is three-headed and six-armed." Ding Mantang was so frightened that he shrank his neck and didn't dare to squeak anymore, and Mr. Ding said apologetically: "Sheng Daxia, I'm really sorry, this child's parents died early, and the old decay spoiled him, and he talked nonsense." Sheng Liuye smiled: "It's okay, I think Brother Ding is very good." ”

Old Man Ding asked: "I heard that the grand hero is blocking the thieves of the Ascending Heaven Sect in the Qinghai area, and the old righteous people of the Wuji Alliance have gathered the heroes, the nine heroes of the rivers and lakes, and punished the evil and promoted the good, how could it be so far?"

Sheng Liuye's face was sad, and he said: "Elder Ding! The younger generation is coming for everyone, the former is at war with the Ascending Heaven Sect, that Chen Chunjiao has developed a 10,000-needle device, and the poisonous plum blossom needle is placed in a gold box, which is extremely lethal, Old Man Long, Brother Zhan, Second Brother Man, Third Brother Zhu, Seventh Brother Deng, Eighth Brother Heng, etc., have been hit by the plum blossom needle, the needle contains the toxin of dove juice, Feng Miaoshou Feng Hui Miss is also helpless, it is Miss Feng who recommended it, saying that you can cure this poison, and the younger generation implores Ding Lao to go to Wuji Alliance to save everyone's lives, I am grateful. As he spoke, he knelt down to worship his clothes, and Old Man Ding hurriedly helped him up, Old Man Ding said: "All the people in the Wuji Alliance are heroes of the rivers and lakes, all of them are well-known righteous people, and the scum of the Heavenly Sect create evil, although the old man lives in the mountains, he will never sit idly by." ”

Sheng Liuye said happily: "Thank you so much Elder Ding!"

The old and young returned to the mountains first, the old man Ding wanted to take the medicinal materials, took the medicine box, on the way Ding Mantang asked Sheng Liuye's deeds, all of them were introduced by the old man Ding, Sheng Liuye asked the old man Ding why he lived in the mountains, the old man Ding liked to be quiet and did not like to move, the air in the deep mountains raised people, the environment was elegant, and there were many kinds of medicinal materials, more than two years ago, the grandfather and grandson moved to live in the mountains, Ding Mantang liked to be lively, and came to the city to play if he had nothing to do.

Old man Ding took a lot of medicinal materials, a simple knife in his hand, the old man also knows some martial arts, Sheng Liuye helped carry the medicine box, Ding Mantang picked up a steel knife, this is his usual practice weapon, the old and young three walked along the mountain path.

Suddenly, a group of people and horses appeared on the mountain, no less than fifty people, the first one was eight feet seven, twenty-six or seventeen years old, thick eyebrows and big eyes, two eyes like electricity, broad shoulders and thin waist, wearing a white robe, and a tiger-headed copper knife in his hand, which was the head of the twelve protectors of the Heavenly Sect, and shook Han Shengwei in all directions. He was followed by Gu Zhao, Xu Ting, Ma Mingcheng, Liao Meng, and Song Wuchen, five leaders of the Ascending Heaven Sect, and fifty elite bows and arrows. The group of thieves laughed proudly, Sheng Liuye understood, he was followed all the way, waiting for himself to find the person who detoxified, and then attacked and killed.

Han Shengwei said with a smile: "Don't come to harm, I will follow you for a long time, just wait for this moment." His martial arts are profound, and the valley is full of echoes, Sheng Liuye shouted: "Han Shengwei, if you have the courage to come down and talk about the high and low, you are worthy of the name of shocking you." Han Shengwei smiled proudly: "Golden Knife Hero, Golden Knife Hero, today I told you to wait for death and have no place to be buried." The above suddenly opened the bow and released the arrows, and Sheng Liuye hurriedly said: "Elder Ding, Brother Ding retreat, I will cover." As he spoke, he wielded his golden sword and drew his bow and crossbow.

Old Man Ding hurriedly said: "Grand Hero, there is a big rock in the back, you can go and hide first." Sheng Sixth Master said: "Elder Ding, you and Mantang will withdraw first, and I will cover after I break off." Old Man Ding and Ding Mantang retreated backwards, Sheng Liuye danced the golden knife to resist the bow and arrows, and also retreated to the rear, Liao Meng on the mountain said: "Great Protector, these three people must be looking for a place to cover, and then wait for an opportunity to break through." Han Shengwei said: "There is a big rock in front, the rock is large, it can block the bow and arrow, I will go over immediately, and I can't let them go out of the mountain." ”

The huge rock can block the bow and arrow, but you can't get out, as long as you break out, the bow and arrow will be fired on the mountain, Sheng Liuye doesn't care about himself, Old Man Ding and Ding Mantang can't do it, he can't take care of the two, Sheng Liuye said in his heart: For today's plan, it is to let the thieves come down, so that it is also convenient to break through, and Brother Ding has a clever mouth. Thinking of this, Sheng Liuye called Ding Mantang, Sheng Liuye said: "Brother Ding, you have a high voice and a lot of words in your mouth, you scold the thieves on the mountain, whatever you say, come down and give you ten taels of silver." Ding Mantang said with a smile: "Brother Sheng, you are known as the Golden Sword Hero, and it is only ten taels when you scold it, what am I doing with that tongue." Old Man Ding scolded: "Nonsense, your big brother Sheng is using a strategy, you just do it." Sheng Liuye smiled and said, "Good brother, fifty taels each." ”

Ding Mantang said happily: "This is about the same. Sheng Liuye thought that this child was really interesting, and Ding Mantang stepped forward.

As soon as Han Shengwei saw that it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of him, the group of thieves were all stunned, and Ding Mantang shouted: "Shameless people of the Ascending Heaven Sect, you are a jackal and a tiger and a leopard, you don't do anything about people, you are shocking Han Shengwei, right, you are shocking, my brother Sheng is ten times more powerful than you, and the chivalrous goddess of Jiangnan, Lin Meiyu, the head of Wudang's Hongye Dao, and the head of the Lianlian Gate are all masters in the world. ”

Although Han Shengwei was annoyed, he was still calm, Ding Mantang looked at Liao Meng, the leader of the Ascending Heaven Sect, with a fierce face, a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, Ding Mantang sneered: "Hey, I said that you are a life, monsters are all better looking than you, three points are not like people, seven points are like ghosts, anyone can make Fang Tian's halberd, then Chu Overlord, Lu Fengxian, Xue Rengui, which one you can compare, no need for others, the master will behead you in three rounds." Liao Meng's nature is like fire, and he can't stand others saying that he is ugly, not to mention that he is still a teenage doll, Liao Meng couldn't hold his breath, he yelled: "The little puppet speaks wildly, bullying Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants your kid's dog life." Han Shengwei said: "Leader Liao, don't be angry, this kid is provoking you to go down." ”

Liao Meng's temper came, no one listened, sometimes he didn't even listen to Chen Jingang's words, so Chen Jingang didn't look down on him, Liao Meng ordered someone to erect a rope down, he tied a rope around his waist, and slid down the rope.

Ding Mantang was very happy when he saw the next one, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Brother Sheng, fifty taels." Sixth Master Sheng smiled when he heard this, Old Man Ding glared at him fiercely, Liao Meng rushed over with Fang Tian's halberd, Ding Mantang hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, the surname Sheng asked me to say it just now, but I have nothing to do." He hurriedly ran to Old Man Ding's side, Old Man Ding looked at him angrily, Old Man Ding picked up the knife, Sheng Sixth Master said: "Old Ding, you don't need a knife to kill chickens, you rest on the side." ”

Liao Meng was just about to rush over to kill Ding Mantang, Sheng Liuye pulled out the golden knife to block, Liao Meng knew the Golden Knife Hero, and he had also seen his skills, but he had no choice but to take a face, he regretted his impulsiveness, just wanted to kill Ding Mantang, ignored the Golden Knife Man, and had the heart to run back, then can it be done, one is high, and the other Sheng Liuye can also catch up. Liao Meng held the thirty-five pounds of Fang Tian's painting halberd high, and the top of the split head was a halberd, Sheng Liuye raised his head down, Fang Tian's painting halberd split the air, the two of them moved, the fifty elites on the mountain did not dare to release arrows, for fear of hurting their own people, Han Shengwei secretly complained, and thought: Liao Meng, Liao Meng, if you don't let you go down, you don't listen, you usually don't even pay attention to the master of the village, and you don't respect me, just by the hand of the surname Sheng, you sent you away. The two fought for twenty-six rounds, how could Liao Meng be the opponent of the Golden Knife Man, Sheng Liuye knocked down the other party with a sweeping leg, Liao Meng closed his eyes, thinking that this was the end.

Sheng Sixth Master shouted, "Brother Ding, tie him up." ”

Ding Mantang ran over and pulled out a thin iron chain from his waist, which was made of hardware, it was Ding Mantang's self-defense weapon, and now it was used to tie people, Ding Mantang said while doing it: "How about it, I said that you are not as good as Chu Bawang, Lu Fengxian, and Xue Rengui." Liao Meng's face turned red and he bowed his head and was silent.

This angered Gu Zhao, he turned out to be the helmsman of the Liuzhou rudder, gathered eight or nine hundred people in Liuzhou, the ancestral home of Bazhong, Chen Jingang considered his high martial arts, and ordered him to return to the Tianwei Peak to serve, just came back with the brigade of men and horses to attack the Wuji Alliance, Gu Zhao has the ability, has always been no one in his eyes, after returning to the Tianwei Peak, I often listen to the people below say how the nine heroes of the rivers and lakes are good, especially the Golden Sword Man and the Holy Hand Judge, Gu Zhao was very unconvinced, without waiting for the great protector Han Shengwei to order, he slid down the rope, Han Shengwei was so angry that he stomped his feet, and hurriedly shouted: " Listen, no one is allowed to go down and challenge without this Dharma Protector's order. The thieves hurriedly agreed, and Han Shengwei said in his heart: Brother Gu, you can ask for more blessings.

Sheng Liuye looked at a pair of bronze hammers in his hand, and saw that the weight could be around fifty catties, with a tall figure and a tiger body. Gu Zhao was also looking at the Golden Knife Man, seeing that he was dignified, majestic, with a golden knife in his hand, he was really a good person, with a double hammer in his hand, Gu Zhao couldn't help but say that he would do it, how could Sheng Liuye be afraid of him, he was carrying a golden knife to fight, and when he started, Gu Zhao was shocked, and said in his heart: Oh, what a powerful martial art, such a skillful knife technique, it is really not the ambition of the brothers on the mountain, the Golden Sword Man really deserves his reputation. Sheng Liuye found that this martial art was even higher than Liao Meng, that is, he was qualified to be the protector of the Heavenly Sect, and after fighting for thirty-seven or eight rounds, Gu Zhao couldn't beat others, Sheng Liuye saw that he was ruthless and skilled, and thought that he didn't need to be captured, the cold light of the golden knife flickered, Gu Zhao's head fell to the ground, the double hammer was gone, and the corpse fell to the dust.

Seeing the death of his companion, Han Shengwei felt both pity and very annoyed, it was a pity that Gu Zhao was capable, he was angry that he was arrogant by nature, Han Shengwei was also an arrogant person, but after the fierce battle in the snow mountain, he had put away his arrogant mentality, and he thought that he was invincible, but the Golden Sword Warrior and the Holy Hand Judge were not under him, and his own invincible two-gun Qi Yunbiao was not under him, Han Shengwei practiced in the Heavenly Danger Peak every day, constantly warning himself not to be arrogant, the arrogant will be defeated, and he felt the same way when he saw the tragic death of his companion Gu Zhao.

Han Shengwei shouted: "Come on, prepare for me to roll wood and stones and smash them down, bow and arrow at once, and trap them to death." Fifty elites were ordered, bows and crossbows, rolling logs, stones, etc., Sheng Liuye, Ding Qi, and Ding Mantang hid behind the big rocks, so that they could avoid the danger zone, and Han Sheng above shouted loudly: "Golden Knife Man, I don't believe that you don't eat or drink, anyway, we have food and drink, see who can afford it." Ding Mantang sighed: "It's over, the food and drink are not enough for a day, and when you go out, you will either have a meatloaf or a hedgehog." Old Man Ding shouted angrily: "Wrongdoer, you shut up for me, no one treats you as a dumb person." ”

Sheng Liuye apologized and said: "Elder Ding, full cousin, I have affected two of them by one person. Old Man Ding said: "Sheng Daxia doesn't need to blame himself, it's the thieves of the Ascending Heaven Sect who are too vicious, and the old man thinks that taking advantage of the night to cover the breakthrough, the thieves of the Ascending Heaven Sect also need to rest, they will take turns to rest, take advantage of the night, and we will have the opportunity." Sheng Liuye nodded and said, "That's it." Glancing at Liao Meng, Ding Mantang said angrily: "Take your evil breath." There were three slaps when he went up, Liao Meng's face was red and swollen, and Liao Meng said angrily: "Little beast, you have the ability to let Lao Tzu go." ”

Ding Mantang was furious and shot him out, Ding Mantang patted his head and said: "Grandpa! Brother Sheng! I remember, I went to the city to buy tea last year, and I heard some old people say that there is a cave in this mountain, which can go straight to the outside of the mountain. Sheng Liuye said with a smile: "There is no endless road, wait for me to check, don't move the two of you here." As he spoke, the man flashed out.

Sheng Liuye just appeared, and suddenly the bow and crossbow were fired together, Sheng Liuye held a golden knife and dialed the bow and arrow, and the golden knife in his hand protected Zhou's body up and down, the bow and crossbow did not hurt him at all, Sheng Liuye performed light skills, dodging the bow and arrows while going straight forward, Han Shengwei sneered: "The surname Sheng, don't waste your efforts, I don't believe that you can leave one old and one young and run away alone, that is against your chivalrous way." Sheng Liuye didn't pay attention to him, he retreated and hid behind the big tree, his body jumped, jumped up, and stuck to the back of the big stone, the bow and crossbow on the top could not be injured, Sheng Liuye looked left and right, and didn't find any caves, the figure flashed, Han Shengwei saw that he appeared again, and hurriedly ordered: "Release the arrow!" The arrows on it were fired together, Sheng Liuye waved the golden knife to dial the bow and arrow, his body flashed quickly, and he hid behind the towering boulder, Sheng Liuye looked carefully, and still didn't find the cave.

Song Wuchen frowned, and he said, "Strange, what is the surname Sheng doing, jumping left and right at the risk, what is the so-called reason?" Han Shengwei said: "He is looking for a breakthrough, and then he takes an old man and a young man to escape." Song Wuchen said: "We are guarding the mountain, as long as the three of them show up, rolling wood, bows, crossbows, and gravel together, the golden knife man may not be able to hurt him, and the old man and the young man will definitely die, unless we evacuate here." Han Shengwei squinted his eyes and said to himself, "Is there any shortcut in the mountains?" Song Wuchen smiled: "This is impossible. ”

Han Shengwei shook his head and said: "It's nothing impossible, Sheng Tianlong came out, risking his danger to find an exit, there should be an exit in the mountain, which can go straight to the outside." Song Wuchen said: "Even so, we have to come out, as long as they come out, we will shoot arrows together." Han Shengwei said: "There are many dreams in the night, I will lead Brother Xu and Brother Ma down, take the opportunity to get rid of Sheng Tianlong, Brother Song will lead people not to move here, if they show up, immediately open their bows and arrows, and they must not let the people of the Wuji Alliance detoxify." Xu Ting and Ma Mingcheng followed Han Shengwei down, and Song Wuchen led fifty elites to wait here.

Sheng Liuye just got up, and the three of them rushed over with light skills, led by Han Shengwei, who shook the eight directions, and on Han Shengwei's left was a yellow-faced man, wearing green soap and a pair of axes in his hands; on Han Shengwei's right was a black-faced man, wearing bronze clothes and a wolf's tooth cone in his hand. Sheng Liuye was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Can the two people around Han Protector report their names and surnames?" ”

The black-faced man said: "Ascend to heaven to teach Ma Mingcheng." The black-faced man said: "Ascend to Heaven to teach Xu Ting." Sheng Liuye smiled: "Did the three of you come down to watch the sunset?" Han Shengwei said: "The Golden Knife Man is the Golden Sword Hero, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, he does not refuse to come, and the enemy still dares to talk and laugh, but you are afraid that you will not be able to see the sunset." Sheng Liuye put the back of the knife in his left hand and said with a smile: "Han Protector is still worried about himself." ”

The golden knife came to the face, Han Shengwei moved the tiger-headed cooked copper knife to parry, the two knives collided, the cold light flashed, Xu Ting swiped the double axe, and shouted in his mouth: "Let's go together!" Ma Mingcheng picked up the wolf's tooth cone and said, "It's exactly what I want." ”

The three masters of the Dengtian Sect attacked like a bamboo, Sheng Liuye was not afraid, Han Shengwei slashed Huashan with a cooked copper knife in his hand, splitting from top to bottom, Ma Mingcheng held thirty-two catties of wolf tooth cones, swept the opponent's lower plate, Xu Ting slashed at the waist with a pair of plate axes, Sheng Liuye roared, the golden knife in his hand slashed upward, his body flashed flexibly, his body took off horizontally, Han Shengwei slashed at the blade of the golden knife, and the sparks splashed, at the same time, Xu Ting's double axe and Ma Mingcheng's wolf tooth cone went into the air, Han Shengwei's blade turned, and the tiger head cooked copper knife swung out eight knives in a row, Sheng Liuye moved and flashed, avoiding his eight knife attacks, and the golden knife in his hand bounced off the attacking double plate axe and wolf tooth cone at the same time, Xu Ting and Ma Mingcheng glanced at each other and said in unison: "Good guy!"

Sheng Liuye just dodged Han Shengwei's three knives, the golden knife in his hand was not raised, Xu Ting rolled on the spot, the double-plate axe in his hand entangled the golden knife, and before Sheng Liuye could counterattack, Ma Mingcheng raised the wolf's tooth cone and smashed it down, Han Shengwei stabbed it diagonally, Sheng Liuye waved his arm, and the golden knife in his hand drove Xu Ting's double axe, Ma Mingcheng's wolf tooth cone was smashed on the double-plate axe, and the two of them retreated six or seven steps each. Sheng Liuye's move was 'drawing the knife and cutting off the water', the golden knife just blocked the tiger's head cooked copper knife, the tip of the cooked copper knife was pierced on the golden knife, Han Shengwei shouted, his arms were full of strength to send the knife, Sheng Liuye was forced to rush to the top, and took two or three steps back. Han Shengwei's palm slammed, Sheng Liuye saw that he was a palm strength, masculine strength, he knew that it was a mountain palm, Sheng Liuye was lucky, Han Shengwei suddenly felt a strong internal force attacking, knowing that it was a golden sand palm, the two of them faced each other, and each took a step back.
