Chapter 11: A Battle
The thin old man smoked a whole bag of cigarettes, Su Changfa drank the porridge slowly with pickles, and the demeanor of the two of them was very relaxed and natural, but Zhou Yuan and the black cat were very nervous, and the two pairs of eyes kept looking back and forth between the old man and Su Changfa.
There are still more than a dozen customers dining in the lobby, and those who have the vision have already seen that this old man has kung fu. The so-called people who come are not good and those who are good do not come, this old man is not intent on competing, that is to seek revenge, if there is a fight later, it will inevitably affect the pond fish, and seven or eight customers have left here one after another.
The innkeeper stood at the counter and rubbed his hands back and forth, and several times he walked out of the counter to say something, and then he turned back with hesitation.
Su Changfa had already finished drinking the porridge, and the thin old man had also finished smoking, and a large cloud of smoke had gathered on the thin old man's head, like a heavy white cloud.
The white clouds moved slowly and floated towards Su Changfa. Su Changfa was indifferent, he didn't seem to notice this matter at all.
Zhou Yuan understood that this was the old man's own internal force to protect the smoke from dissipating, and the internal force released the smoke towards Su Changfa. If Su Changfa can't force this cloud back intact, then this battle of internal strength will be Su Changfa's loss.
This cloud is getting closer and closer to Su Changfa, and its trajectory is not sluggish, and it seems that Su Changfa has not worked until now.
Bai Yun had already stopped firmly above Su Changfa's head, the old man showed a contemptuous smile, he slowly stood up, without saying a word, turned around and wanted to leave.
At this moment, there was a low thunder behind him. The old man was taken aback, and when he looked back hurriedly, he saw that the white cloud had turned into a black cloud in the moment he turned around, and there were bursts of thunder and light in the black cloud, and a lightning bolt pierced through the air, and the lightning and flint shot towards the old man!
The old man held his breath, and a pair of big dry hands stretched out from the sleeves of his robe and quietly pushed them out. The lightning ran into an obstacle a foot in front of the old man, and the current could not continue to move forward, but only spread the snake dance a foot in front of the old man, like a creeper climbing a wall. And that wall is the wall of qi condensed by the old man's internal force.
Zhou Yuan looked at Su Changfa quietly, but saw that the master did not continue to urge the internal force, otherwise with the lightning just now, he should be able to penetrate the invisible qi wall of the old man, even if he couldn't kill the old man on the spot, he was expected to be able to split his body and make a big ugly appearance in front of everyone.
Su Chang waved his sleeves, the dark clouds on his head disappeared, he turned his head to Zhou Yuan and said, "Xiao Yuan, go upstairs and take down our luggage, let's continue to hurry." ”
"Huh. Zhou Yuan responded, Master Xindao's martial arts are unfathomable, no matter who he fights against, he only makes one move, and this time it seems that there is no opportunity to open his eyes. With some pity in his heart, he turned around and went upstairs to get his luggage.
"Wait!"
The thin old man let out a sharp scream, and then let out a strange laugh of sympathy.
"Old man, I have lived in a corner for more than ten years, but I didn't expect that there would be such an outstanding offspring as you in the rivers and lakes. ”
The old man was hunched on his back, his hands behind his back, his steps were no longer as vain as when he first entered the door, but became extremely calm at this moment, and he really stepped on the masonry floor of the inn lobby step by step. Every time he took a step, he emitted a wave of air outward, the closer he was to Su Changfa, the stronger the wave of air emitted, at the beginning it was like a north wind sweeping the ground, between these four or five steps, it was already as solid and thick as a wave crashing on the shore, and the entire lobby was filled with the old man's internal force in an instant, as if he was in the turbulent undercurrent. Zhou Yuan felt that he was out of breath, and the black cat entrenched on his shoulder was even worse, and his body had involuntarily floated into the air. The sound of ping-pong pots and pans around was actually enveloped by the internal force exuded by the old man, and they were all involuntarily suspended in mid-air like black cats.
Is this the coercion exuded by the Great Grandmaster? Zhou Yuan held the stairs with both hands and barely supported it, and the black cat floated in the air and was blown around by this true qi, and finally grabbed a beam, and barely stabilized his body by relying on two sharp claws embedded in the wooden beam. One person and one cat were surprised in their hearts, seeing that this thin old man had no flesh and a physique that could be blown down by a gust of wind, how could his domineering and unparalleled strength be hidden in his body?
The worst thing is the owner of the inn, he was blown by this strong wind and his back against the wall, he couldn't sit down, it was difficult to turn over, and he wanted to open his mouth and shout loudly - the small shop is a small business, the two heroes should go outside to fight, and there is no need to give today's meal money! But as soon as he opened his mouth, the internal force of catharsis poured into his mouth, and he choked so much that he couldn't say a word.
"I should be someone who didn't want to earn these hundreds of taels of gold, but I didn't expect it, it turned out to be a master of art who was bold. ”
"Housheng, let's practice again?"
The old man had already walked in front of Su Changfa, he was shorter than Su Changfa, and he was born with a hunchback, standing in front of Su Changfa, he had to raise his head one hundred and eighty degrees to look at him.
Su Changfa had already stood up, but when he saw the old man like this, he had to sit down again, and arched his hand and said, "The old man's profound internal force cultivation is really admired in the future. What are you still practicing, I just admit defeat. ”
The thin old man snorted, seeing that his tone was smooth, and his internal and external breath were not affected by his momentum, and he couldn't help but secretly admire the young man in front of him.
He has lived in Xiliang for a long time, and has not done anything with outsiders for more than ten years, conceiting that he is a master of the world, except for the unfathomable Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, no one can say that he can defeat himself alone. Seeing that this infamous back of the rivers and lakes has actually passed the stage of channeling qi and returning to the void, mastering the five qi in the chest, it is difficult to contain the ruthlessness of fighting for a while, and he can't even take care of the things explained by his own master for a while, and he has to share the victory or defeat with Su Changfa here and now.
"Do you think that you have passed the stage of channeling qi and returning to nothingness, and you look down on the old man and me? Since the old man has lowered his face and taken the initiative to fight with one of your juniors, he will inevitably go all out and leave no hand! Since you want to admit defeat, then you can cut yourself!"
Su Changfa was stunned when he heard this, looked at the thin old man with an expression of "you bad old man is very bad", slowly stood up and said: "Senior, then you have to say this, in fact, I haven't competed with the top masters in the martial arts for more than ten years - then fight, who is afraid of whom!"
"Good ——!"
The thin old man didn't react yet, and Zhou Yuan, who was on the stairs, had already shouted loudly and loudly. He had been looking forward to his master being able to go all out for a long time, and now that this wish had suddenly come true, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Su Changfa and the thin old man were attracted by his applause at the same time, and they all looked at him. At the same time, the old man's mind moved, and the domineering true qi that filled the entire lobby instantly dispersed, and the surroundings became quiet, Zhou Yuan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly buried his head in the handrail of the stairs, and whispered with a smile: "You continue, you continue." ”
The thin old man put away his momentum, because he expected that there would be a vicious fight with Su Changfa next, and although his internal strength was full of overflowing body, there was no need to waste it at will.
"Before I get started, I have a few more words to explain. The old man spoke.
"Speak, please. Su Changfa made a gesture of please.
"Originally, the old man made a special trip to you this time, because the head of my family has something to explain to you......"
"Oh, then you explain first, and then we'll fight after explaining. ”
"No, no," said the thin old man waving his hand, "If I beat you to death in a moment, then there is no need to explain." If it's a little old man, my skills are not as good as others...... Hehe, if I say that you want to leave me a breath, you will inevitably be hindered by a while, so you don't have to keep your hands, let's have a happy fight, and I don't care if he explains or not-the head of my family originally thought that you were a small man, and it was inevitable to try to cause trouble when you went to Tangmen, how did he know that you were a fairy-like character on this land...... Let's move ......."
"Hero, !!"
The innkeeper saw the opportunity and ran forward crying, hugged the thin old man's thigh and cried: "The small shop is just a small business, and I am both old and young, and I am all counting on this shop to make some money to maintain my life." Can the two heroes pity the poor villain, if you want to fight, you can fight elsewhere, this hero, I don't want you for your accommodation and meals, I will give you two ten taels of silver each, you pity the poor villain!
The thin old man was slightly angry, and shouted softly: "You get up for me first!"
"No, if I don't agree to the villain's request, I won't get up the villain!" The innkeeper only kept crying, and soon the thin old man's pants were wet with his crying.
The thin old man couldn't bear it anymore, his legs and feet trembled, and he shook the innkeeper's embrace, and stretched out his hand and gently pushed on his waist and eyes. The innkeeper's mind was dizzy, as if falling into the clouds, only to see the surrounding scenery flying in front of his eyes, and when he fixed himself again, he was already in a clearing more than ten zhang away from the inn. The innkeeper still didn't give up, and ran back towards his storefront. Suddenly, he saw something attacking him head-on, and it was very urgent, as if it was a hidden weapon.
The innkeeper hurriedly hugged his head to avoid it, but saw the hidden weapon stop on top of his head. The innkeeper looked at it and found that the thing on the ground was actually a gold ingot weighing fifty taels.
A voice came to his ears from the inn - "I bought this shop, you can go elsewhere to make a living." ”
"Hey", the innkeeper sighed, put the gold into his arms, stood up straight and wanted to take another look at the old store that he had been operating for eight years, only to hear the crackling sound in the inn from a long distance, a window shattered, and then the two doors were also smashed by an inexplicable force, and the surrounding walls were "poof" I don't know which one poked more than a dozen transparent holes in a row, and then the roof beam collapsed, and the two figures broke through the eaves like two sharp arrows, and the true qi diffused between the figures was visible to the naked eye, like water rippling, like frost condensing the void, like summer mountain flowers, like cold when snow falls.
