Fourth, the first time to fall into the dust

Ji Kaifu had already prevented her from attacking, but when he saw the dust floating on her back, her sword trembled. Immediately, his left foot hit the ground, the tip of his sword pointed downward, jumped up and crossed the air, and shouted: "Teach you what 'drizzle wet clothes can't see'." It was that trick "drizzle wet clothes", and the body was in mid-air and leaned down to make this trick "drizzle wet clothes", I am afraid that even Yuhua Sanren could not have expected it. However, this from top to bottom, it also fits the name of this trick, whether it is drizzling or not, it comes from the sky, but the luck method is also difficult to comfort. When Xu Fangming came to Ji Kaifu, she felt that the drizzle was sprinkled on her face, and her eyes were difficult to open. In a hurry, he raised his right hand and threw the long sword at Ji Kaifu, trying to surround Wei to save Zhao, if he avoided this sword, he must turn sideways, so that he could resolve this move, if he insisted on stabbing down, eight or nine times out of ten would be killed.

Ji Kaifu knew his intentions, his mind was self-inflicted, he sent the sword trick in his left hand, pushed the hilt of the sword hard, and stabbed her throat with the long sword, and turned his body over with his strength, dodged the long sword she thrown, stood outside the circle, and turned to look. Xu Fangming had been nailed to the ground by the long sword from her throat, and the long sword she threw fell upwards and smashed into her chest. Even if there is no such smash, Xu Fangming is no longer alive.

Jin Liu saw that Xu Fangming was not alive, shouted "Fang Mei", struggled to sit up, and before he could sit firmly, a rush of fire counterattacked his heart, and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then fell sideways, and said slowly: "God, if you have the intention to kill the thief, you can't return to the sky, old thief, that year...... You'll be ...... in half a day Hehe, don't say it, it seems that your disciple is still ...... seems to be unaware, so that you have no way to defend it, and make these people suspicious...... Suspicion with you, so wonderful, haha, righteous gentleman! righteous gentleman! hahaha......" forced a few laughs and stopped moving.

Huang Er wanted to ask for a reason, but the matter has come to this point, and he can only regret it.

Around one hundred and twenty times, Zhu Rongfeng had many accidents, first the eldest disciple died, and then the three disciples lost their parents. Ji Kaifu ran to his parents, stunned for a long time, and suddenly screamed sadly. The brothers stepped forward to comfort them, but they didn't know what to say. He remembered the kindness of his parents on weekdays, but now he is separated by yin and yang, and he can no longer fulfill his filial piety in the future, and the more he cries, the more sad he becomes.

Yang Baishan said: "Three junior brothers, the festival mourns and changes. All the juniors and disciples said yes. Ji Kaifu said sadly: "My parents gave birth to me and raised me, but I didn't fulfill my filial piety, but I ......" Some of the people have shed tears, and some people push others and themselves, and they can't help but be sad and cry constantly.

Ji Kaifu asked, "Master, where did these two people come from? How could they 'Split the Cloud Sword'? Why are the sword paths different at the same time? However, Huang Er was also suspicious and said: "I don't understand it as a teacher. Alas, the two of them are dead, and various reasons seem to be rare. When Ji Kaifu heard this, he suddenly thought of his momentary ambition, not only did he not know the origin of the two of them, but even the master was wronged, so he said: "Master, blame the disciple for being impatient, which hurts the ......" Huang Er interrupted him and said: "Kaifu, it is not the time of this festival, the dead are like life, first serve your parents into the earth for peace, and all other things, please come and discuss again." Then he let out another long sigh.

The disciples obeyed the orders of the master and handled the funeral of Ji Laosan and his wife, although the affairs were complicated, but under the auspices of Yang Baishan, they were well organized. Seeing this, Huang Er thought that when Ye Chong was alive, everything was handled by him, and now Yang Baishan can also take on this important responsibility, which is quite gratifying.

Everything was in order, Huang Er invited Yu, Tan, and Chang to Zhu Rongfeng in the name of the head of the family, and invited his disciples to gather in the flower hall. Yu Qiuren was tall and thin, with sharp edges and corners, and there were two disciples standing behind him, divided into the eldest disciple Qin Jian and the third disciple Tong Po. Tan Fei is dressed in purple, with bright eyes, although she is middle-aged, she is still extremely handsome. I often thought about my pale face, but because I was anemic all year round since I was a child. Behind the two stood two disciples, a man and a woman, the eldest disciple of the two, Du Chengfeng and the second apprentice Liu Qiuyan. Huang Er's left case was covered with a white cloth, a leather case-like object was placed on it, and a few steel needles were placed next to it.

Originally, the etiquette between master and apprentice, elder and young was not very important in the Hengshan faction, but today's events are related to the century-old reputation of Hengshan, so everyone is solemn. After the salute, Huang Er motioned for everyone to take a seat and said, "The details will be told by Baishan to everyone." ”

Yang Baishan got up and arched his hand: "Uncle Rong. On the day that Nangong sent us to Hengshan to seek revenge, Jin Liu and Xu Fangming, who were brought back by the senior brother, have been recuperating from their injuries at the third junior brother's house...... "The words are endearing. When it came to Jin and Xu calling Huang Er an "old thief", and saying that he seemed to have done heheinous evil things, Yu Qiuren and the others' faces changed slightly, looked at Huang Er, and saw that the senior brother in charge looked calm, and then calmed down.

After a while, Yang Baishan had already made it clear, and pointed to the holster beside Huang Er and said: "It was a needle sac taken from the arms of Jin Liu's corpse, and the master said that his technique was very similar to the Su Yu Soul Chasing Needle of the master uncle. Huang Er said: "I don't know what the junior brother and junior sister have to do?"

The three of them glanced at each other, Yu Qiuren got up and said: "Second senior brother, first, we have seen the appearance of the corpses of those two people, and we don't recognize them, and we have never heard of these two people, or we don't know if they are names." Second, the woman's swordsmanship and the 'Cloud Sword' seem to have the same origin, if the senior brother changes his sword moves, it is not a difficult thing, but with the senior brother's person, it is not like he will send someone to sneak attack. "Walked to Huang Er's side, picked up a needle sac, and looked at it carefully, "Third, after the senior brother entered Hengshan, he rarely used this soul-chasing needle, because Hengshan has never used hidden weapons. What does the senior brother needle bag look like, our junior brothers and sisters have never seen it, even if there is such a thing now, there is no way to test. As he spoke, he handed the needle bag to Tan Fei and picked up a steel needle, "Fourth, if you look at this steel needle, there is nothing abnormal." Senior sister, look at ...... "return to this seat."

Tan Fei took the needle bag and said: "The two of them said that the second senior brother had done a big evil thing, and he came here for revenge, and he had been lurking in Hengshan for four months." Huang Er said: "It doesn't seem that the two of them were premeditated, but they seemed to be improvised." Tan Fei said: "Where the festival is, I am afraid it will be difficult to figure out for a while." Then Xu Fangming doesn't know much about our Hengshan's 'Cloud Sword'?" Yang Baishan replied: "What the fourth uncle said is extremely true. Tan Fei said: "It's strange, it's very likely that she learned it from elsewhere, and she didn't know that there was a real 'Cloud Sword' in the world." Chang Si asked for a needle bag from Tan Fei's hand, and continued: "If what Senior Sister said is true, then we have to find out who taught this set of 'Cloud Sweeping Sword'." I don't know if that person will be our pioneering sword technique 'Beidou Yuheng Sword'. The senior brother led the art investment teacher, and the 'Yuheng Sword' didn't learn much. ”

Everyone was silent, and often thought about it and said: "The ancients said that 'the pure person is self-purifying', we know that you are always open-minded, and there is a public opinion on the rivers and lakes about Chaoyangzi Huang'er - don't you hear that 'the clouds see the moon and go to Hengshan'?" Huang Er shook his head and said: "If this matter is only related to me, I will naturally ignore it, but now that I am in the position of the head of Hengshan, this matter is related to the reputation of Hengshan, how can I sit idly by?" How can Yuhua scatter the main inheritance of his own, so that the senior brother ran away from the mountain, so he called himself "stealing the position of the head", for many years, Hengshan has been accustomed to what Huang Er said.

Tan Fei said: "Senior brothers, I have a matter that has been haunting my heart for many years, and I have never been able to understand it, did the senior brother run away from the mountain back then, or did the master drive him out?" Yu Qiuren said: "How can the master be willing to expel the senior brother from the door wall, although the senior brother left Hengshan, the master has never said that he is not a disciple of Hengshan, and also asks all sects and factions in the rivers and lakes to read the righteousness of Hengshan and not be embarrassed." Tan Fei said: "Yes." Senior brother can be called 'open-minded' by his character?" everyone nodded yes. Tan Fei said again: "Then this is ...... run away from the mountain" Yu Qiuren said: "Master said that the senior brother is open and closed everything, but he is in the position of the head of the house, it seems that mortals have a pass that they can't go to in the past......"

Chang Si suddenly said "Huh", and everyone turned their heads to look at him, and saw him smack his lips again. Tan Fei asked, "What did the little junior brother think of?" Chang Si looked up and saw everyone looking at him, because he said: "Second senior brother, I think this skin seems to be from Luo Chuqi's hand." ”

Huang, Yu, and Tan all stood up and said in unison: "Is this really the case?" Chang Si saw that his senior brother and sister had already gotten up, and they also stood up, and replied: "Nine times out of ten." Tan Fei said: "How can the junior brother conclude like this?" Chang Si said: "Back then, Lord Luo Chi once made a pair of quivers for his father, so he knew a little about his methods. His acupuncture method is very strange: the first three needles are folded, the second five needles are folded, and so on, no matter how big or small things are, they must be coherent with a thread, and the number of needles must be a multiple of three and five, this needle bag is one hundred and fifty needles, and the mechanism is ingenious, quite appropriate. ”

Among the disciples, there are those who are still shallow, and they ask each other what kind of person Luo Chuqi is, and Ji, Yang and other slightly elders know that Luo Chuqi is a hermit of the White Dragon Pool in Dahong Mountain, and in his early years, he had sewed dragon robes for the emperor, and he has retired to the family for many years, calling himself "the master of the White Dragon Pool". It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that his line is not rotten for thousands of years, and it is also said that he has a perverse temperament, only for people who are destined to hold needles and threads, and do not take a penny, if there is no fate, although the daughter is useless, so there are not many people who see the true face of Lushan, but I don't know why this golden six can invite him. And for what Chang Si said, three needles, five needles and one fold, but I have never heard of it.

Tan Fei said: "In my opinion, we should go to Dahongshan to investigate, a few of us are here behind closed doors, and we can't explain why." Before the words fell, one person got up and went to Yang Baishan's side, bowed to Huang Er, and said, "Please ask the master to allow the disciple to go to Dahong Mountain to find Naluo's seniors to ask about it." Everyone looks at it, this person values filial piety, and it is Ji Kaifu. Before Huang Er could speak, Tan Fei said: "Senior nephew Kaifu, that Dahong Mountain is between Jing and Suizhou, more than a thousand miles, if you are alone, I am afraid that something is wrong." When Ji Kaifu saw that the fourth senior uncle said this, he had room to look at Yang Baishan, intending to ask the second senior brother to walk with him. Yang Baishan smiled at him and looked at Huang Er.

Huang Er said: "Kaifu, you are filial piety, you should borrow a straw pillow block, if you are allowed, it is not polite, it is better to let your second senior brother and fourth senior brother go together." Yang Baishan and Lu Buzhi said in unison: "No, Master." Ji Kaifu said: "Master, it's not that the disciple is unfilial, this matter is related to the reputation of the master and Hengshan, and the disciple's parents also died unexplained, just because the disciple's heart was not sinking that day...... I only hope that the master will agree to this matter, and the disciple will feel at ease. Even if the parents are knowledgeable, they will not blame the disciples. Tan Fei heard the words and said loudly: "Okay, I think what Kaifu's nephew is right, as for whether it is in line with the etiquette or not, it should be another matter, the etiquette, just put it in your heart, second senior brother, what do you think?" Among the older brothers and sisters in Hengshan, Tan Fei has the most light view of etiquette, Zeng Dao If he values the etiquette of that bundle of people, he will not come out to practice martial arts and practice swords.

Huang Er groaned: "Kaifu, don't blame yourself, even if Jin and Xu don't die, they will probably not tell the reason." Originally, Xu Fangming was going to say something that day, but Jin Liu shot a steel needle, one came by surprise, and the other interrupted Xu Fangming. Just now, your fourth master, uncle, you went to the big Hongshan, and it was not easy to impose obstacles for the teacher. Seeing that the master had already agreed, Ji Kaifu kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Master." Huang Er said, "Get up." As your uncle said, if you go alone, it may be inappropriate, so let your second senior brother go with you, and let him arrange everything. You don't wear linen and filial piety on the road for the time being, so as not to provoke people's eyes. In addition, there are a few words that I have always nagged about, and today I would like to ask you two to be careful everywhere and keep your head down in everything. No matter what news there is to Dahongshan, we must return to Hengshan as soon as possible, and it is up to the division to decide. The rivers and lakes are sinister, don't follow the old path of your elder brother. Yang Baishan and Ji Kaifu said: "Remember the master's teachings. Huang Er said again: "Those two have been checked by your uncle and should be buried." ”

The next day, the day will be bright, the two of them sacrificed to the Zhaosheng Emperor, prepared enough dry food and other necessities, went out of the South Heavenly Gate to Zhurong Peak, from the east to the north to Baling (note: now Yueyang City, Hunan Province) direction.

Ji Kaifu was full of worries, and he didn't say anything, just bowed his head and hurried away. Seeing the red sun sinking in the west, it was late, the two came to a archway, looked up, and wrote the word "Liling".

Find someone to find the inn in the town, find the "Furong Inn", and settle down in a cheap room upstairs.

Just as he was about to rest, Ji Kaifu suddenly said: "Second senior brother, I heard that the master's martial arts and swordsmanship are stronger than the master, and his behavior is also good, why doesn't the master pass on his mantle?" Yang Baishan saw that he didn't say much all the way, and he must have thought for a long time when he opened his mouth, and then said: "Xu is the master found out the clue, and I feel that he is not willing to take this position." Ji Kaifu said: "I don't know." If the master Bo Ruo has turned into a yin owl, it is not impossible to accept disciples to come to Hengshan to be embarrassed. Yang Baishan shook his head and said, "Master said that the two of them had a temporary idea, and it was not premeditated. The master is coming early, and he doesn't have to wait until now. Ji Kaifu said: "Maybe I was afraid of my ancestor, so I came later." Yang Baishan said: "The master has passed away for more than ten years, how can he come? What's more, if the master really has the intention of harming the master, how can he use the soul chasing needle, doesn't it clear that he deceived the master and destroyed the ancestors? ”

The two chatted for a while, and they both felt that all kinds of questions had to be solved by looking for Na Luo Chuqi. When the lights went out and he was about to go to sleep with his clothes, he suddenly heard the footsteps of two people on the verandah outside the house, and heard one of them whisper: "...... Hurry up, here ...... It is close to Hengshan...... Carefully. Another said: "Say be careful...... ...... by outsiders Wouldn't you...... Event. "Hurry away.

When Ji and Yang heard this, they suddenly turned over and sat up, thinking in their hearts: "That person said that Hengshan is near, could it be related to my Hengshan?" and heard the sound of a room door opening in the distance, and then closed it, presumably the two entered the room. At that moment, the two of them held their long swords upside down, and walked out of the door lightly, and saw that a room in the southeast corner of the cloister was lit up, and the guy at the counter downstairs was gone, only an oil lamp remained, and the ghost fire was half dead. Ji Kaifu said softly: "Do you want to go?" If he said that he was going to go, he would inevitably eavesdrop, which would be contrary to the teachings he received on weekdays, and he might be inappropriate. Yang Baishan knew his intentions, because he said: "It is a matter of Hengshan, which can be expedient." ”

The two crept under the window of the guest room, submerged their internal strength, and listened attentively. One of the people inside said: "...... The words of the master of the Lu helm are good, we also know that the master of the three Shuihu Hall has always been true to his word, and after the matter is completed, he will be good for you. It is the person who said before that "Hengshan is near".

Hearing the three points of water, I knew that it was a triad. The Sanhe Gang is almost as famous as the beggar gang in the rivers and lakes, and the general rudder is in Xuzhou, Henan Province (note: now Xuchang City, Henan Province), and there are branch rudders in Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi. The gang leader Xiao Qingcheng is a well-known Wan'er on the rivers and lakes, and the "Lonely Sky and Sunset Palm" is powerful in the north and south, and has the prestige of "Half a Palm Lonely Sky and Wei Shui Qing". And the rivers and lakes also have a saying of "Ye Chong in the south, the city in the north, and the clouds and sunset are drunk", Qi Zanxiao and Ye also have the meaning of ridiculing that both of them love to drink. And these three points of water Hu Tang master has also heard, named Hu Cheng, the people of the rivers and lakes call the "iron ruler divine fist", the blade is a three-foot long ring ruler, and the left hand single fist boxing method is also quite outstanding. These people came here late at night, and they didn't know if they had anything to do with the Hengshan faction.

Just listened to another person: "Lord Lu Helm, you have also heard the words of Master Mu, your Nanyang rudder is weak, and he will be able to make great progress with me today." "It was another person on the corridor, whose words were quite arrogant, it was this Hu Cheng, and the previous one was the master of the Mu Hall. Another person said: "It's all up to the cultivation of your old man, Master Hu, Lu and his brothers will definitely be smeared with liver and brain, and they will never give up." "I am the helmsman of the land. Na Hu Cheng said: "This is very good, two brothers, please take a seat." There was the sound of a few people sitting in the room. The Lu Duo Lord said again: "Master Hutang, I heard that the person is now around Hengshan, and I don't know whether it is true or not. As soon as Ji and Yang heard "Hengshan", they became more and more calm, for fear of missing a word. Hu Cheng smiled "hehe": "Your news is very fast, and there is only one surnamed Chen next to that person." Lord Lu Duo, tomorrow you will bring fifty brothers, and if that man stays in this shop, it will be a good opportunity to take his life. If you don't invest in this store......
