Fuzhou City.

At the end of the deep alley, there is an ordinary tavern, called Zhiyu Tavern.

In the Zhiyu Tavern, a pot of rice wine, two side dishes, starting from Wang Cixin's chat, and finally talking about Guan Tianshang, Zhou Wangan told us about a strange story that once caused a sensation in the rivers and lakes.

Fuzhou housekeeper, double knife door, a hundred years of school, once famous for a set of double knife kung fu, has always been a very famous gate on the rivers and lakes.

As everyone knows, the double-knife kung fu of the double-knife gate has only been passed down to the masters of the past dynasties. Nowadays, people say that it is precisely because of such rules that the Shuangdaomen later declined. But in fact, among the descendants of the housekeeper, there was a person who was talented and intelligent, and was established as the successor of the master of the Double Knife Gate when he was a teenager. In his twenties, he had perfected the double-knife kung fu of single transmission, and its power far exceeded that of the master at that time, that is, Guan Yuanhong, the father who was in charge of the world, and even approached Guan Xiuqi, who founded the double-knife gate back then.

This man is the ruler of heaven.

Originally, he was going to inherit the position of the master of the gate, but the young man became more and more unruly, as if no one in the world could enter his eyes.

The fourth year of Xuanhe was twenty-five years ago. At the junction of Fujian and Jiangxi, bandits are rampant, and one of them is called Fenglei Village, which is even more murderous and evil. Wind and thunder village master Yu Feng Lei, King Kong iron bone magic known as invulnerable, a pig-killing knife played extremely fierce, not to mention that it is an enemy hundred, making the Yamen in Fujian and Jiangxi scratch their ears and cheeks, and they are at a loss, so they issued a reward notice, and those who can take the head of Yu Feng Thunder will be rewarded with two thousand silver.

There is no shortage of money in the double knife gate, but Guan Tianshang sees this as a good opportunity to make a name for himself. He regarded himself as invincible in the world of double-sword kung fu, and he single-handedly killed Fenglei Village.

The aftermath of King Kong's iron bones beat his chest and said that he was invulnerable. Guan Tianshang didn't think so, thinking that he was just bluffing or some crooked trick, so he agreed with Yu Fenglei not to fight back, and each slashed each other with 999 knives, and the one who could stand last was the winner.

However, when Guan Tianshang fought with Yu Fenglei, he found that Yu Fenglei had really practiced the invulnerability of the King Kong Iron Bone Divine Skill. He stood still, allowing the two swords in the sky to intersect, and cut down nine hundred and ninety-nine swords unscathed.

Even if you are dumbfounded.

Yu Fenglei roared: "It's my turn!" After speaking, he swung out the pig-killing knife and swooped towards Guan Tian. Guan Tianshang knew that he couldn't bear it, but he didn't want to bear the infamy of being untrustworthy, so he forced Yu Fenglei to cut down nine hundred and ninety-nine knives on him.

In the end, the flesh and mortal body of the heavenly body were cut into a blur of flesh and blood by these nine hundred and ninety-nine swords. Yu Fenglei said to Guan Tianshang, who was lying on the ground and was dying: "These nine hundred and ninety-nine knives are agreed upon by you and me, but you broke into my cottage and disturbed my purity, so I want to make up for you one more knife." After that, he raised the knife in his hand and broke the tendons of the world with one sword.

"Damn, this is the legendary thousand knives!"

Just as he was listening with relish, Li Xiaoqian suddenly shouted. Zhou Wang'an not only didn't get angry, but nodded and said, "Yes, this is the nickname that the Jianghu people give to Guan Tian in private." ”

I was even more surprised and asked, "He didn't die after a thousand cuts?"

Zhou Wang'an sighed and said: "Maybe Yu Fenglei was deliberately humiliated, and when he started, he avoided all the critical positions, and only cut the skin and flesh of the world without hurting the inside, and the length of each knife edge was only half an inch, as small as a needle." Despite this, but more than a thousand knives went down, and there was no end to the sky from head to toe, and the most important thing was the last knife, which broke the tendons of the heavens, making him a completely useless person who could no longer hold a knife. ”

That's pretty damn.

Zhou Wangan said: "What became famous in this battle is not only the immortal Guan Tiantian, but also the accurate Yu Feng Thunder. ”

"What kind of effort does it take to practice such a precise knife technique?!" I was filled with emotion.

Zhou Wang'an said: "Back then, when Mr. Wuyang was compiling anecdotes of rivers and lakes, he personally rushed to Fenglei Village to ask this question. ”

I became curious and hurriedly asked, "What did Yu Fenglei say?"

Li Xiaoqian's face was also full of curiosity, so he leaned over and asked, "Yes, what did he say?"

Zhou Wang'an looked weird, and he held it for a long time before he said slowly: "Yu Fenglei said that he used to be a butcher, and he cut a lot of pork, so he naturally practiced!"

"Holy!" I couldn't help but shout, "how much pork do you have to cut?!"

Li Xiaoqian nodded and said: "Business is so good, what kind of bandit if you don't sell pork!"

Zhou Wang'an waved his hand and said in a humble voice: "All in all, I still admire the character and courage of Guan Tian. ”

Li Xiaoqian said disdainfully: "Knowing that you can't do it, this is called stupid!"

Zhou Wang'an roared: "If you don't believe in your words, wouldn't it be shameful!" His voice was thick and loud, and the wine in the cup shook several circles. The shopkeeper was full of panic, thinking that we were going to fight in his tavern, so he hurriedly stepped forward to add some tea for us, and said: "Heroes, don't be angry, the small shop is thin, but it can't withstand the toss of fists and feet, and please be compassionate." ”

Li Xiaoqian and Zhou Wang'an glanced at each other angrily, each snorted coldly, and tilted their heads to one side.

3. Play it

Life is full of coincidences.

During the day, we had just talked about the matter of governing the heavens at the Zhiyu Tavern. In the evening, in the Baili Inn in Fuzhou City, we met a man with gray hair and a dense face with scars.

"Is that heavenly?" I pointed to the man drinking alone in the corner of the wall and asked Zhou Wang'an softly.

Zhou Wang'an looked at it for a moment and said, "Looking at it like this, it should be him!"

Li Xiaoqian said disdainfully: "This mark on his face is unique in the world, and it must be the one who suffered a thousand cuts." ”

I deliberately chose a place not too far from Guan Tian, and wanted to observe him secretly to satisfy my inner curiosity - what kind of character is this Guan Tianshang who has not died after a thousand cuts?

Li Xiaoqian looked at Guan Tianxia with a regretful expression on his face, and said: "It's a pity that Wang Cixin, who is like a flower and jade, actually married such a flowery pig who has suffered a thousand cuts. ”

Zhou Wang'an said: "Wang Ci knows that it is righteous to repay kindness. ”

At this time, several figures flashed outside the dark door, but it was three burly men who walked in. The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, but before he could speak, he saw one of them wave his hand slightly, and said, "I have an appointment with someone, you go down." ”

The shopkeeper left in a huff. The man who waved his hand glanced at the hall, his gaze skimmed over us, and finally settled on the corner of the wall. He walked briskly to the heavens, saluted respectfully, and then sat down slowly, while the other two big men stood behind him, one on the left and one on the right, standing majestically like a door god.

"There is style!" Li Xiaoqian whispered, "I also brought two bodyguards when I went out, and at first glance I looked like a character with a head and a face." ”

"Big brother, the master of the door ......"

The man said halfway, but was stopped by the heavenly hand. He glanced at us vigilantly, and the man immediately understood, leaned over to Guan Tianxia's side, and said in a low voice: "The master of the sect has ordered the martial arts halls in various places to start taking in refugees and teach them kung fu. At present, the total number of refugees taken in by the military halls in various places has reached nearly 10,000. ”

"So many?!" Guan Tianshang's voice was surprised, but his face was covered with dense scars, and he couldn't see the slightest expression.

Li Xiaoqian frowned and said in a low voice, "What are so many?

I asked, "Can't you hear me?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "It's the same as a mosquito humming, who can hear it." ”

I said, "I can hear me." "I don't know why, since I practiced swordsmanship with that bamboo tube, in addition to practicing my eyes and hands quickly, my ears have become more and more sensitive, and I always hear flies and mosquitoes flying past my ears on weekdays, and when I want to reach out to catch them, I find that those flying insects are three or five feet away from me.

Li Xiaoqian said in surprise: "You are more powerful than Zhou Wang'an's ears." ”

Zhou Wangan whispered, "I can hear it too." ”

Guan Tianshang, who had been silent for a long time, sighed and muttered: "In this way, what my younger brother is planning is not as simple as a martial arts alliance leader. ”

The man's face was worried, and he said, "Could it be that the master of the sect wants to be an enemy of the imperial court?"

Guan Tianshang said: "This is also what worries me the most. When he followed General Li Yanxian to resist Jin, he persuaded General Li to take advantage of the chaos in the world to establish himself as emperor, but General Li categorically refused. Later, after General Li committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, he took people back to Fuzhou to concentrate on the affairs of the door, and I thought he was dead...... Now it seems that it is just an expedient measure to try the courage and recharge the energy. ”

"Then what should we do?" the man asked more anxiously.

Guan Tianshang said: "If you are an enemy of the imperial court, you are afraid that you will hit a stone with an egg and bring about your own destruction." I'm afraid that my century-old foundation of Shuangdaomen will be ruined. ”

The man pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Big brother, it's better to ...... us."

"No!" Guan Heaven whispered, interrupting the man's words. His tone changed sharply, became very low, and sighed: "Flesh and blood, he is my own brother after all. ”

"Big brother!" the man said hurriedly, "The overall situation is important, and at a critical juncture, I am willing to do all kinds of difficult things for you!"

Guan Tianshang shook his head slowly and said, "I am no longer the careless teenager I was back then. I will try my best to dissuade the world from giving up, and if he insists on doing so, I would rather die with him than kill each other. ”

"Big brother!" the man's face was full of sadness, and he was almost about to cry, "What about the century-old foundation of the Shuangdaomen?

The heavens fell silent. His gaze suddenly became cold, and he suddenly hesitated, and after a long time, he sighed, and with a trembling feeble hand, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Without saying another word, he got up and left.

The man watched Guan Tian leave, and his expression was a little painful. He muttered a sigh and said, "Over the years, he has become more and more hesitant, it seems that those thousand swords have destroyed not only his martial arts, but also that heart. ”
