Chapter 48: The First Signs

There will always be many problems in this life, these problems need to be answered and solved, and there are many things that you don't understand that need to be answered, but when you uncover the truth step by step, maybe you are not fully prepared to accept it, because the truth is often cruel.

Looking at the old man who suddenly appeared and walked towards him, he didn't know that it was impossible to leave easily today. Thinking of this, he no longer planned to leave immediately, he wanted to see how unfathomable the unfathomable old man in front of him was. He has met many powerful opponents, but he has never been afraid.

At this moment, the old man suddenly moved, and almost unintentionally arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. I saw that the old man still threw the same punch and attacked the unintentional face, but this punch was no longer as casual as just now, but accompanied by the sound of whirring wind, unstoppable.

Wuxin didn't hesitate, he swung out a palm with all his might, and met the old man's thunderous fist, he actually chose to take it hard! A heavy crash sounded, and the two of them separated again! The old man couldn't help but take a step back, but Wuxin took five steps back this time! His body was almost forced against the courtyard wall, and there was no way out! His chest was suffocated, he almost couldn't breathe, his whole arm felt slightly numb, and there was a faint pain in the tiger's mouth.

The old man looked surprised again, originally he thought that he would choose to avoid it, but he didn't expect to take it hard, and what surprised him even more was that he really took it. Seeing Wuxin standing there with a guarded and fearless face, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth. After thinking about it, he walked over to Wuxin again.

Seeing the old man walking towards him again, he unintentionally slowly put his hand on the hilt of the knife, and he was ready to draw the knife, because he really didn't have the confidence to be able to take the old man's third punch hard.

Just as the old man was about to launch another attack, and Wuxin was about to draw his sword, a voice came from the courtyard wall, and then he saw a figure leap down.

"Is the Tianshan Lone Eagle Dugu Lanqing's senior?" said the figure that fell from the courtyard wall, it was Tie Xiong, who had heard the news, and had just seen the confrontation between the two just now, and when the two were about to fight again, he hurriedly spoke to stop it.

When the old man saw Tie Xiong suddenly appearing, he was stunned for a moment, and said unceremoniously: "It seems that there are many people who can't sleep tonight, who are you?"

"Catch fast at the six gates of the lower capital, Tie Xiong. Tie Xiong respectfully hugged his fists and said, he didn't know the old man in front of him, but he saw the power of the old man's punch just now, there are not many people on the rivers and lakes who can have such profound skills, not to mention that the strength of his fist alone actually forced Wuxin back five steps, and there was no one else except Tianshan Lone Eagle Dugu Lanqing.

The old man glanced at Tie Xiong suspiciously, and said slowly: "It turned out that it was the god who captured Tie Xiong, even you came to this Yunshui Villa, it seems that this martial arts conference will really not be calm." The old man shook his head as he spoke, his attitude softened a little, but it sounded like there was something in his words.

Tie Xiong paused for a moment, and said slowly: "To be honest, this brother of mine and I came here this time to investigate the Golden Knife Artist under the Red Feather Seat. Tie Xiong actually told the truth about the purpose of this trip, and the unintentional people on the side couldn't help but be stunned after hearing it.

As soon as the old man heard Tie Xiong's words, he suddenly turned his head to stare at Tie Xiong, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the Golden Knife Guest among the martial arts people who participated in the martial arts conference this time?"

Tie Xiong nodded lightly and said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, that's true. ”

The old man couldn't help but sigh, waved his hand to Tie Xiong and Wuxin, and turned around and walked towards the house. Tetsuo and Wuxin glanced at each other and walked in behind the old man. During this time, Tetsuo took the opportunity to inquire about Wuxin's injury, and Wuxin shook his head and signaled that he was fine.

After Wuxin and Tie Xiong both entered the house and sat down, the old man said softly: "It seems that Red Feather's appetite is getting bigger and bigger now, and he really started the idea of a martial arts conference, and there will be a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes again." He shook his head and sighed as he spoke.

Hearing the old man's words, Tie Xiong and Wuxin glanced at each other again, it seemed that the old man seemed to know more about Red Feather than he imagined, and there was a hint of helplessness.

Tie Xiong thought for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the senior has dealt with Red Feather?"

The old man nodded, paused and said, "Not only have I dealt with it, maybe I'm the only one who refused to join Red Feather and lived until now." He frowned, as if he remembered something.

"Refuse to join Red Feather?!" Tetsuo asked, looking at the old man in surprise, this was slightly surprising news.

The old man nodded and said slowly, "That's right, that was twenty years ago. At that time, not long after Red Feather appeared on the rivers and lakes, many people in the martial arts were bought and became Red Feather's minions, and they also found me, but I refused, and there was a fierce battle between the two sides, and I fled to the top of the Tianshan Mountain to hide after I was seriously injured, so I survived, otherwise it would be impossible to escape Red Feather's pursuit. ”

After listening to the old man's words, Tie Xiong and Wuxin were shocked again. It seems that when the person in front of me recalled the past, he suddenly felt that the old man who had aged a lot was really the lone eagle of Tianshan Mountain.

Dugu Lanqing became famous in the rivers and lakes as early as twenty years ago, but at that time there was no title of Tianshan Lone Eagle, because someone later found his traces near the Tianshan Mountain, but no one had ever faced him head-on, so there was the title of Tianshan Lone Eagle.

Since then, he has almost disappeared from the rivers and lakes, but in recent years, he has suddenly appeared on the rivers and lakes again, but no one expected that he had experienced such a period of time.

"Then why did the seniors also come to participate in this martial arts conference?" Tie Xiong once again raised his own question.

Dugu Lanqing glanced outside, listened attentively, and then said softly: "A few months ago, I overheard the news that it was possible for Hongyu to make trouble at the Huashan Martial Arts Conference, and he was born as a martial arts person, how could he sit idly by, so it was the first time in his life to participate in this kind of boring gathering." "He is right, although Dugu Lanqing has outstanding martial arts, he has never participated in a gathering of rivers and lakes such as the martial arts conference, he was originally a person who is used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and never intersects with any gang.

Tie Xiong listened to Dugu Lanqing's words, glanced at Wuxin, and affirmed his previous conjecture with Wuxin, so he continued: "We tracked down that the Golden Knife Ke may have been mixed with the martial arts people who came this time, and the purpose is to win the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, but I don't know how many red feather people are hidden in this Yunshui Villa now. Now there are many former decent people in the martial arts who have joined the banner of Red Feather, and these people can't tell the difference until the last moment. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, looking a little helpless.

Dugu Lanqing smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Although I refused to join Red Feather back then, I didn't ignore it, I have been secretly investigating the situation about Red Feather for so many years, because I know that sooner or later it will be a disaster for the martial arts." After years of investigation, I found that what is really terrifying about Red Feather is not that he has snare the strength of various factions in the rivers and lakes to become his secret minions, but its own strength. ”

Dugu Lanqing glanced at Tie Xiong and Wuxin as he spoke, lowered his voice, and continued: "There are seven masters under the Red Feather Seat, namely the Red Spear, the Orange Pen, the Yellow Knife, the Green Whip, the Green Hammer, the Blue Axe, and the Purple Sword. The golden knife you are talking about is the third of the seven masters, the yellow knife. These seven men are ranked by their own strength, and all of them are unfathomable in martial arts, and few living people have seen them, because those who have seen their true colors have already died at their hands. ”

After listening to Dugu Lanqing's words, not only Tie Xiong was stunned for a while, but also Wuxin was stunned, he had seen the strength of the Golden Knife Guest, if according to Dugu Lanqing's words, the Golden Knife Guest was not the highest strength among the Red Feathers, but only ranked third, which made his self-confidence suffer a heavy blow again, and it was not easy to deal with Red Feather. Wuxin frowned, and couldn't help but ask, "Who is the leader behind the Red Feather?!"

Dugu Lanqing sighed and said slowly: "This is also what I want to know, but over the years, I haven't found any news about this person, and no one has even mentioned it, as if it doesn't exist at all, this is the most terrifying thing about Red Feather." ”

At this point, all three of them were silent, each thinking about what was in their hearts. The strength of the red feather is something they all know in their hearts, but when they are placed on the surface one by one, it will always make people feel powerless and hopeless. In this desperate struggle between good and evil, no one knows the end, and they don't want to think about it, because no matter how you think about it, there doesn't seem to be any chance of winning.

At this time, Tie Xiong suddenly took out the half-burned letter that he had unintentionally handed over to him before and handed it to Dugu Lanqing. Dugu Lanqing took it in her hand and looked at it, her brows furrowed even deeper.

"It seems that this martial arts conference can't be peaceful, the old man invites the two of them here to fight against Hongyu's conspiracy and resolve this crisis. Dugu Lanqing looked at Tie Xiong and Wuxin seriously and said, with a sincere attitude.

Tie Xiong waved his hand and said affirmatively: "What did the predecessor say, don't say that we have already sworn to the red feather, even if we have no grudges with it before, we will also make up our minds for this trip to the troubled waters." ”

Wuxin thought for a while, and said lightly: "I suspect that Qiu Wan, the owner of Yunshui Villa, is Red Feather's person, and he is the candidate sent by Red Feather to seize the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance." As he spoke, he glanced at Dugu Lanqing and continued: "It's not a secret, I hid in the residence of my predecessors just now to avoid the pursuit of Yunshui Villa, because I overheard the conversation between two mysterious people in a courtyard, and they were discussing how to win the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, and it seems that what is not a fair and honest means. I didn't know the identity of my predecessor just now, so I insisted on not saying it, hoping that my predecessor would understand. ”

Dugu Lanqing shook her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's right to be so cautious, the old man doesn't blame you." As he spoke, he glanced at Tie Xiong, then looked at Wuxin, and said slowly: "Brother Tie recognized my origin because he saw my kung fu, but I didn't see who Your Excellency was and who he was taught by?"

"I'm just a nobody, and it's reasonable that my seniors can't recognize him. Wuxin clenched his fists slightly, said lightly, and did not answer his way directly.

Tie Xiong on the side heard the unintentional answer, felt that something was slightly inappropriate, and said in time: "Senior, he is a heroic young man that Tie met on the way to track down Red Feather, but his personality is too rebellious, don't mind senior." But you should all know that the matter of fighting the Northern Twin Eagles alone, bloodbathing the Wanqing Gang, and destroying the Changle Palace was done by my little brother. "It's as fast as a god catching Tiexiong, of course I know these earth-shattering things that I have done unintentionally.

After listening to Tie Xiong's words, Dugu Lanqing suddenly laughed, and said slowly: "It turns out that Your Excellency is the Death Boy that you have said in the rivers and lakes recently, and you will be terrible. In fact, seeing Wuxin's dress, and then through the fight with Wuxin, Dugu Lanqing had already guessed a rough idea in her heart, but she didn't dare to confirm it.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the two of them said goodbye to Dugu Lanqing for the time being, slipped out of the courtyard, and sneaked back to their residence quietly by night, but before they separated, the three of them made an agreement that they would pay close attention to Hongyu's movements and jointly resolve the danger of this martial arts.

After returning to his room, he couldn't sleep for a long time, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. Red Feather, who didn't know anything before, has now begun to show clues, and has a general understanding of the situation, although the opponent is strong, but Wuxin is slowly improving after the initial confidence is hit, and there is a trace of excitement in his heart, and the knife in his hand can't help but start to tremble, as if he can't control it and wants to break out of the sheath.

After hardening Dugu Lanqing's move, the suffocating chest was still aching, but Wuxin didn't care anymore, this injury was nothing to him, and now what he wanted to do most was to find the golden knife and kill it with his own hands, after waiting for so long, he finally had the opportunity to compete face-to-face.

As for how powerful Red Feather is, he doesn't want to do it now, because he only does what he thinks is right, he doesn't care how strong the opponent is, or even how insurmountable, he doesn't have any grand intention to save the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't want to be a hero who saves people from fire and water, he just wants to protect the people he wants to protect, do what he wants to do, even if there is an abyss ahead, he will not take a step back.

The night is very cold, but the heartless heart has never been so firm......
