Chapter 25: The Art of the Ice Room
One of the helpers who was scouting the information at the front hurriedly came in to report the movement of the official ship to Zhao Zhuolong, and Zhao Zhuolong took out the geographical map of Taihu Lake to discuss with everyone. He said: "Now that the official ship has arrived at the place thirty miles away from Wu County, where the harbor is criss-crossed, it is easy to escape, so we must rush there in advance." ”
Everyone nodded, Zhao Zhuolong looked back at Zhang Jianfeng, and said to him: "Shaoxia, do you dare to go to Wu County to intercept the official ship and frustrate the spirit of Wei Zhongxian's old thief?"
Zhang Jianfeng clasped his fists at Zhao Zhuolong and replied: "Wei Zhongxian, that old thief is rampant and cruel to the people, if I bump into him this time, I will definitely end up with the life of this thief, thinking that the people will be harmed." ”
Zhao Zhuolong said with a smile: "The young man is heroic, although this is the first time to go down the mountain, but this fledgling first merit will inevitably be obtained by the young man." ”
Zhang Jianfeng hugged his fists and saluted everyone, and said with a solemn oath: "Please rest assured, seniors, if I go this time, I will definitely let this group of thieves die in the belly of the fish." ”
Zhao Zhuolong ordered someone to prepare water and wine for Zhang Jianfeng, Zhang Jianfeng took the wine glass and drank it. Led more than a dozen water ghosts to sail to Wu County.
When he arrived at the waters of Wu County, the official ship was also rapidly approaching here. Zhang Jianfeng ordered the water ghosts to push the boat into the dense reeds and hide it, and asked them to prepare hooks, chisels and other tools, and when the official ship sailed into the deep water in the lake, they would pierce the official boat.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the official ship to arrive. Zhang Jianfeng and the water ghost took the reed pole in their mouths and dived underwater.
The official ship is draped in red and green, the big flag is waving in the wind, and in the two-story pavilion, the drums are playing in unison, which is indeed a great atmosphere. In the cabin above, a square table with red sandalwood carved flowers was full of delicacies and pots full of jade liquid, and the two of them sat facing each other, holding wine glasses and drinking happily. The surrounding singers played the sound of heaven and added joy to it.
One of them drank so much that he squinted his eyes and said to the person opposite: "This time I went to Taihu Lake with Master Cui from the capital, although it was a long journey, but I was at ease with Meiji and good wine all the way." ”
The other person laughed and said: "Lord Cao is a big celebrity next to his father-in-law, and he is really fortunate to have a humble position." ”
Cao Qincheng's eyes were confused, and he patted his head and said: "Master Cui is too modest, they are all their own brothers, and they should help each other. ”
Cui Chengxiu picked up the wine glass and said to Cao Qincheng: "The future of the humble post depends on the support of the adults, and the small ones drink this cup to express their gratitude to the adults." ”
Cao Qincheng shook his rattle-like head, waved his hand at Cui Chengxiu and said, "I'm no longer strong enough to drink, Lord Cui, please take care of yourself." ”
As the snoring sounded one after another, Cao Qincheng fell into a deep sleep. Cui Chengxiu ordered people to withdraw from the wine table. I walked out of the hatch alone and enjoyed the scenery of Taihu Lake.
"The reeds are cut down and the boat is wide. "The sand gulls on the vast Taihu Lake are gathered, the clear waves are rippling, the clouds are rising at the junction of the water and the sky, and the water mist is like a fairyland.
Cui Chengxiu saw the beautiful lake and mountains, and his heart was greatly relieved, where did he know the murderous intentions hidden on the calm lake.
After the hull shook violently, Choi Chengxiu found that on the deck, the water was spreading in all directions. He knew that there were water ghosts in the boat, so he hurriedly ordered the guards who knew how to dive into the water and capture these water ghosts.
The guards with knives rushed in one by one, and the waters around the official ship were dyed blood red in an instant. The hull had too much draft and was in danger of capsizing at any time, so he immediately ran into the cabin and woke up Cao Qincheng in his dream.
Cao Qincheng heard that someone had robbed the silver, so he took out the embroidered spring knife and hurriedly walked out of the hatch. The guards on the water and the water ghosts fought together, and the sound of the wind and shouts of killing resounded endlessly.
Seeing that there was chaos here, Cui Chengxiu hurriedly asked Cao Qincheng how to deal with it? Cao Qincheng said to him: "Master Cui, if you lose the strange stone and jade play, you and I are both capital crimes, and now while the treasure is still in our hands, it is better to fight to kill the thief." ”
Choi Chengxiu nodded, swung his knife to chop down a few planks, and threw them into the lake. With the light power of dragonflies and three points of water, kill the water ghosts who robbed ships on the lake.
Cao Qincheng saw Cui Chengxiu go into the water, and he also drew a gourd in the same way, fighting side by side with him.
In an instant, more than a dozen gangsters became ghosts under the knife of the two thieves, Zhang Jianfeng was furious, and he also used driftwood to kill Cao Qincheng and Cui Chengxiu with the help of driftwood and Qingfeng sword.
However, the driftwood swayed with the waves, and Zhang Jianfeng had to fight two masters again, and gradually he fell into disadvantage in terms of strength.
Cao Qincheng saw that Zhang Jianfeng was lonely and weak, and gave Cui Chengxiu a look on the side.
Cui Chengxiu comprehended, and secretly took out the fish and dragon net from his arms.
Zhang Jianfeng saw that the two thieves were about to cast a net to tie him up, like a loach, and quickly dived to the bottom of the lake.
When Cao Qincheng saw Zhang Jianfeng fleeing, he was so angry that he swung his knife and slashed the guardrail of the ship. Cui Chengxiu said to him: "Lord Cao, please rest assured, even if he has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, he will never escape from the palm of our hands." ”
Cao Qincheng turned his head and glared at Cui Chengxiu, and scolded angrily: "Fart, everyone has run away, you are still here to give yourself a relief pill to eat." ”
Cui Chengxiu said to Cao Qincheng with a smile: "Lord Cao, I don't think this person is dressed like a local gang, but since he dares to rob the official ship in Taihu Lake, he must have the secret help of the local gang." ”
Cao Qincheng said thoughtfully: "Well, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Master Cui is reasonable. ”
Cui Chengxiu then said to Cao Qincheng: "Please Lord Cao take a warrant, inform the nearby state and county governments, and order them to prepare more boats and enter the lake with us to suppress bandits." ”
Cao Qincheng pondered for a moment and said to Cui Chengxiu: "I don't think it's necessary, we didn't see the Taihu Gang involved, I expected them to be waiting." If we are defeated, they will come to take advantage of the fire to rob, and now that their outpost has been defeated, these water gangs will definitely flee when they hear the news. ”
Cui Chengxiu couldn't help nodding when he heard this, and he said to Cao Qincheng: "Lord Cao, this time the thief missed, and he will not dare to easily fight the idea of the official ship again." ”
Cao Qincheng replied: "We still can't take it lightly, these thieves are extremely slippery, and we need to send more people to deal with them carefully." ”
After some discussion, they burned the boat and continued to the Lion Forest.
Zhang Jianfeng sat on the shore wet, twisting his wet clothes, and kept cursing in his mouth: "Zhao Zhuolong, an old slippery head, actually watched the fire from the other side and played me as a fool." ”
He cursed and cursed, and poured a belly of wind in his face, and at this time he felt unbearable hunger and cold in his stomach. He thought to himself: go to the restaurant to fill his stomach first, and then go back to find those old immortals to settle accounts.
With the help of Gongsun Cheng, Cunyi's martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds. The general formulas of the Wuji Mind Method taught by Gongsun Cheng, as well as the formulas of various fractions, are profound and subtle, and obscure. However, the meaning of the mind is well integrated into the swordsmanship.
Gongsun Cheng stroked his long silver-white beard and nodded in praise.
Cunyi swung his sword and flew, the cold light on the tip of the sword shone, and there were thousands of shadows between the ice walls.
When the sword moves quietly, it is like falling plum and listening to the snow, moving like a dragon going out to sea, and the sword is sent at will, which is intended to be the first. Gongsun Cheng saw Cunyi's hard work, which made him very satisfied. He summoned Cunyi in front of him and said, "The Infinite Sword Technique is only able to exert its due power thanks to the assistance of the Infinite Heart Technique. Now that you know the mind, as long as time passes, you will definitely reach the realm of perfection."
Cunyi stepped forward to bow down to Gongsun Cheng and said: "The reason why Cunyi has today's achievements is the result of the painstaking cultivation of the master. ”
Gongsun Cheng waved his hand at him and said, "Your martial arts now, although you have achieved a little success, but if you want to walk the rivers and lakes, you are still too far behind. We must study diligently and practice hard, and do not be complacent. ”
Cunyi nodded, and Gongsun Cheng continued: "I see that when you practice swords, your strength is insufficient in the later stage, and if you meet a master, you will have to worry about your life." ”
Cunyi said: "I think it's because the disciple's internal cultivation is not enough, so he doesn't have a sense of lack of breath until the later stage. ”
Gongsun Cheng summoned Cunyi to his side and said to him: "I will now use Wuji Gong to open up your second line of Rendu, and then teach you internal strength." ”
Cunyi heard this and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Uncle Shi wasted his mind to help me get through the entrance, but I will inevitably be lost due to my true qi, and the whole person will become old and weak, so how can I feel at ease?"
Gongsun Cheng said: "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, is it my chivalrous character? You must know that there is no informality in big things, although I am really wasted and become a waste person this time." But there will be a successor to my martial arts, and I am also at ease. Besides, if you learn martial arts, you can not only magnify our faction, but also punish traitors and ask for your life for the common people in the world. ”
Cunyi kowtowed to Gongsun Cheng with tears, and Gongsun Cheng opened the entrance to his life and death, and passed on his life's internal skills to Cunyi.
Gongsun Cheng's internal strength was exhausted, his face was as loose as wrinkles, and his face was full of furrows, with only a pair of free eyes, showing the slightest anger.
Cunyi walked up to him and cried loudly, Gongsun Cheng stroked his head, and with trembling hands, pointed to the sword-dancing iceman on the ice wall.
Cunyi followed his gesture and looked forward, and Gongsun Cheng said in a weak voice: "On the night of the full moon, according to the order of the sword man dancing the sword, an arc will be formed. If there is nothing wrong with the sword, the moonlight will naturally form a convergence at the center of the circle, and you will get a cheatbook by slamming the center of the circle with the power of your palm. ”
Cun Yi hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, the secret book is placed so secretly, I think it is an extremely powerful martial art. ”
Gongsun Cheng replied in a weak voice: "This is the "Wuji Demon Suppression Skill" of this sect, and it is also the martial arts of this sect. ”
Cunyi said to Gongsun Cheng: "Master, after the disciple gets this martial art, give it to the master." Let the treasure of this sect be able to return to its own door. ”
Gongsun Cheng listened to Cunyi's words, shook his head again and again, and said: "Your master is free and uninhibited, and kind-hearted, if this secret book is known by people with improper intentions, this sect will definitely face catastrophe." ”
Cunyi nodded, and then asked, "Uncle Shi, what should the disciple do?"
Gongsun Cheng said with a faint breath: "I have a letter here, as long as you do what I say, it will be foolproof." ”
After Cunyi took the letter handed by Gongsun Cheng, it read, "Gongsun Cheng's pen",
He couldn't help but be horrified in his heart, and when he saw Gongsun Cheng, he had no breath.
