Along the way, Wu Xiu traveled day and night. But whenever you pass through the village, it will be slower.

During the Qingming Festival, the grave of the deceased is what every household needs to do, the customs of various places are different, during the Qingming Festival, people have to go to the grave to fill the grave with flowers, the custom of going to the grave in Wu Xiu's hometown is to bring a soil hat to the tombstone, and the paper money should be pressed in the middle, indicating that this is not a lonely grave, there are descendants to pay tribute to.

But every household planting willow to ward off evil is the same, passing through many villages can be seen, not only every house in front of the willow, many happy children like to wear willow rings made of willow during this period, chasing and fighting. Wu Xiu remembered that in his hometown, whenever the Qingming Festival came, the common people would go to pick some artemisia seeds and make artemisia buns to eat, and many years had passed, and Wu Xiu could no longer remember what it tasted like.

Everything grows, Wu Xiu rode a horse and galloped on the vigorous territory of the Great Wei, behind him were one town after another, one hill after another. When I was tired, I took a break and took a look at the book I bought from Senior Hong's house by the way.

As Chen Dingdu said, such books are sold in many bookstores, the price is cheap, just some outlines of the martial arts realm, although it is not a martial arts cheats, but there are indeed some things worth learning on it, such as probably saying some things that need to be paid attention to in the realm of refining the body, reminding people who practice martial arts must be gradual and not in a hurry, otherwise they will suffer, and also list some of the mainstream breathing methods of the dragon breath realm, and it is also said that refining the body dragon breath is actually the most basic realm, especially the dragon breath, there are thousands of people who practice martial arts in the world, and the methods of the dragon breath are different, and everyone is almost different。 For the opening of acupoints, some brief methods are said, and these methods are the mainstream acupoints that teach martial arts practitioners to feel their own bodies. When it comes to merging the pulse, it is actually a method of gathering strength by luck, just like the predecessor Hong said, the qi sinks into the dantian, turns the qi into force, and then turns the force into gang, and attacks it with gang, and says that the merging pulse is actually not a realm, it can only be said to be a method. The later Huagang and Yidong are very easy to understand. Speaking of Wushuang, he said the essence of boxing, punching to move forward bravely, without distractions, to be unparalleled in the world. Transformation of the realm of the gods or the transformation of the realm, to this realm, you can start a sect, so that future generations can practice their own boxing theory and fist intentions, boxing methods are superb, and they can be regarded as upright masters of the rivers and lakes.

As for returning to the truth, the book says that the martial arts are all the way, and it is already considered to have reached the top of the realm, and returning to the truth is an ideal realm, to this realm, there are no moves, only fist intent, and a fist is gathered in the chest, such as the monk on the top of the mountain has mastered the rules of heaven and earth, and he can do whatever he wants, and all things and ten thousand laws are in front of the fist of the realm of returning to the truth, which is just an illusion, and only fist power is the only rule in this world. The last realm, the divine appearance, is said to attract the vision of heaven and earth when he punches and exerts his strength, and there is a law behind him, which is above heaven and earth.

Turning to the end, a blank page wrote a crooked and oblique word, it should be the handwriting of Hong's predecessors, he said that the martial arts realm is benevolent and the wise see the wise, and the realm should be completely abandoned, and each sect has its own name for the martial arts realm, for example, the Dragon and Tiger Villa King Kong Hall is good at a realm, they are called the King Kong Realm, in fact, it is similar to the refining realm but it is much worse, in the Tang Sect they divide the realm into only four layers, the heart of the Flying Shadow Realm, the Wind Realm and the Vientiane Realm, the refining of the body of the dragon's breath to open the acupoints and the veins, etc, but three hundred years later, people have also begun to recognize this statement, he reminded, since you have taken the path of martial arts, don't stick to the realm and don't stick to the secret book exercises, you must remember that people who practice martial arts break ten thousand laws with their strength, and no matter who is opposite you with a punch, it is great to be free, and the last sentence is to say: "This is my experience in martial arts for many years, remember to store it carefully!"

It seems that Senior Hong is an interesting person, and I don't know how many such books he still has at home.

Wu Xiu was thoughtful, regardless of whether what Senior Hong said made sense or not, but now he must learn the method of opening acupoints, which is a necessary way. So he meditated cross-legged, trying to 'look inside' his whole body meridians and acupoints through the methods mentioned in the book, trying to gather qi and return to the dantian.

Wu Xiu sat and forgot like an old way, immersed in it, and never knew how to do it, I don't know how long it was, through luck breathing, Wu Xiu suddenly felt a burst of pain in the center of his back, which was bearable at first, and in the end, the pain was like someone else stabbing it with a sword and then twisting it, which seems to be what Hong said seniorly, because the air pockets are blocked, and the opening of the acupoints is to open up the seventy-two yang and thirty-six yin on the body, so that the qi can travel above the meridians unimpeded. Unconsciously, Wu Xiu was already sweating profusely, and when the pain disappeared completely, he opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and hurriedly took out the book, looking up what the specific acupuncture point he had just opened was called, it turned out to be the Zhiyang acupoint on the Du Mai.

Although I couldn't master the method of endoscopic, I finally got the trick of opening the hole.

Bai Zhen, Xia Erniang's house.

The middle-aged country man who lived with Xia Erniang was holding Feng Shaobao's leg deadly, he was already dying, and it seemed that he was about to die. Xia Erniang fell at the gate of the courtyard, blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, and she was stunned by the person in front of her.

Feng Shaobao slowly drew his sword and said lightly: "Do I have to kill him before you can speak?"

Xia Erniang came to her senses, looked at the dying and struggling middle-aged man, and subconsciously wanted to shout for help, but suddenly the sword flashed, and Feng Shaobao pierced the middle-aged man's back with a sword, and then he pulled out the blood-dripping long sword and looked at the frightened Xia Erniang indifferently.

The feeling excites him.

"Lao Liu, Liu Fulai!" Xia Erniang struggled to crawl to the side of the middle-aged man Lao Liu, holding his hand, but Lao Liu had completely lost his breath.

Feng Shaobao looked at Xia Erniang at his feet, he used his long sword to lift the corners of Xia Erniang's clothes, and smiled playfully.

Late at night, Feng Shaobao walked out of Xia's house. Out of town, head west.

The next afternoon, when the neighbors came to Xia's house to visit the door, they found a terrible scene, Lao Liu was lying stiffly in the yard, Xia Erniang was hung under the beam of the main hall, and her body was scarred, but she was not dead, and her breathing was like nothing.

The town officials began to investigate the case, through Xia Erniang's intermittent confession after waking up, the murderer was a young man, using a sword, although Lao Liu was pierced in the back by the sword, but through the examination of the wounds, the fatal thing was not the sword but the punch, and the punch destroyed Lao Liu's internal organs.

The murderer came for Wu Xiu, and it was obvious that he was Wu Xiu's enemy, so the town officials sent Bai Zhen to capture Shatong and let him go all the way to the west, first, to find the murderer as much as possible, and second, to find Wu Xiu and explain the matter to him to be careful.

Xia Erniang's home was no longer inhabitable, so the town official rented a yard in the center of the town. Although she didn't die, she was already two people compared to before, and she sat in a daze all day, a little depressed, and people began to speculate that she was crazy. Lao Liu's funeral was simple, with the help of Lao Liu's rural family Zhang Luo, and on the day of the burial, Xia Erniang also followed and sat in front of Lao Liu's grave for a day and a night.

Sathorn's reputation has always been good in Baizhen, in addition to Baizhen catching fast also opened a martial arts gym, in fact, in this kind of peaceful town catching fast this industry is very dispensable, but the town official said that although the sparrow is small, it must be complete, and there must be something.

Catching fast is just a part-time job for Shatong, and opening a martial arts hall to teach disciples to help some merchants and bodyguards is his main business. is in the prime of life, he has a happy family and a successful career, he doesn't want to go on this trip, he has also seen Lao Liu's injury, he can't do that punch, obviously the murderer's realm is higher than him. However, because others are a senior official, they are self-recommended, and it is not easy to refuse.

So the three of them set off in the same direction, Feng Shaobao has been setting off for three days, Wu Xiu has been setting off for five days, and today Shatong set off with two proud disciples.

This way is all on the official road, Wu Xiu walked very fast, and when he rested, he was pondering the opening of the acupoints and taking the pile to punch, and he walked very full. In about half a month, he can reach Xudu. After walking for several days in a row, I rested in a town on this day, and I had little dry food left, and I needed to buy some more.

Feng Shaobao has not ridden a horse and has been using his feet, using a speed faster than Wu Xiu's horseback, and he has been a caged dog for several years, and he is enjoying the moment very much.

Wu Xiu arrived in the town in the evening. Feng Shaobao is still a day away from the town. Sathorn has three days left.

In the evening of the next day, after Wu Xiu bought some dry food, he led the horse out of town. At the gate of the town, he and Feng Shaobao met for the first time.

Ten miles outside the town, there are no lights in the world, but tonight the moon is in the sky, and the stars are shining.

By the river, Wu Xiu was about to take a break, and Feng Shaobao also walked up and washed his face with water not far away.

Wu Xiu was the first to ask, "Also in a hurry at night?"

Feng Shaobao nodded.

Wu Xiu saw the saber on Feng Shaobao's waist, it seemed that he was also a ranger, but he didn't know if the other party was willing to discuss the realm of martial arts, and was just about to say something, Feng Shaobao stood up, shook the water stains on his hand, looked at the calm river, and said lightly: "I'm here for you." ”

Wu Xiu frowned and asked, "Could it be that Xia Erniang from Baizhen asked you to come?"

Feng Shaobao smiled faintly, "The woman you said should be dead now, but it's not necessarily, if someone is discovered, there may be a rescue." He slowly turned his head and looked at Wu Xiu, in fact, he should be grateful to Wu Xiu, because of Wu Xiu, he can break away from the Qi Palace, get rid of the little prince, and be his true self again.

Wu Xiu was silent for a while, and then he pulled out a pair of short spears from the cowhide package and merged them into one.

Feng Shaobao began to draw his sword.

The two were separated by about ten meters.

Under the bright moon, the long sword was as cold as frost, and the cold light overflowed.

The silver spear was as white as snow, and the murderous spirit was rising.

The originally calm and waveless river surface was windless and automatic, and there were bursts of ripples, Wu Xiu dragged the gun forward, Feng Shao held the sword and stabbed, and where he passed, the waves rolled.

Wu Xiu stabbed forward with the gun, Feng Shaobao threw the sword out, he took two steps lightly, and held the hilt of the sword forward at great speed, and the two weapons instantly pointed at Mai Mang, each exerting force, the sparks exploded at the junction, and the body of the gun and the sword body were slightly bent. Feng Shaobao suddenly turned sideways slightly, hit the body of the gun with the back of the sword, and the momentum sank, shocking Wu Xiu's mouth numb, and stabbing Wu Xiu's heart, extremely fast, Wu Xiu took a few steps back, held the gun in both hands, and picked it up from the bottom to the top against Feng Shaobao's incoming sword, the force was not small, Feng Shaobao turned back, shook a sword flower, and unloaded the strength.

Wu Xiu made a gun, there was no marksmanship to speak of, Feng Shao kept the sword, and there seemed to be no sword move.

Both of them only attack each other's vital points, using moves to take advantage of and adapt to changes. Without waiting for Feng Shaobao to turn over and stand still, Wu Xiu attacked again, spears came out left and right, and Feng Shaobao was tired of coping. Fighting to the death, step by step, step by step, he knew that it was not good, and if he continued like this, he might have to wait for Wu Xiu to breathe before he could attack on defense. But what kind of person is he, he was praised by his master as a once-in-a-century martial arts wizard, and he defeated the senior brother after three years of worshipping the master, if it weren't for the hot mind that killed the little junior sister and was hunted down by the entire division, he may now be on the top spot of the division. He volleyed up into the air and went straight to the sky, like the king of the day dancing with a sword, and swooped down from above, but he didn't use a sword, but a fist, and saw that where the fist reached, the rocks around Wu Xiu rolled around.

Wu Xiu raised his gun with one hand and pointed it upwards at Feng Shaobao's fist.

There was a distance of about three inches between the tip of the gun and the fist.

Feng Shaobao's body kept going down, the speed was not slow, and the spear was already bent like a full bow, and it seemed that it was about to break at any time. Wu Xiu knew very well that the opponent had turned his strength into a gang, although it was not as terrifying as Hong's predecessors, but it was not weak. If the gun is withdrawn and punch to fist, he is not confident that he will be able to catch it. His feet were already three feet deep in the dirt, and he was by the river, the soil was moist and soft, and if he continued like this, he would probably be buried deep in the earth.

Wu Xiu's eyes were closed, sweat was already oozing slightly on his forehead, on the other hand, Feng Shaobao didn't seem to use all his strength, but his face was also bruised, and his eyes were red.

Wu Xiu slowly raised his head and stared at this person he would kill in his life, then he withdrew his gun, and his left fist shot out into the sky, meeting Feng Shaobao's fist.

Indeed, he couldn't catch it, and in an instant he fell to one knee and vomited blood.

Feng Shaobao stood still gently, looked at Wu Xiu, who was seriously injured and not dead, and said, "Your fist doesn't seem to be hard enough." ”

Wu Xiu covered his chest, only to feel that his internal organs were turning over the river, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he might spurt out a mouthful of blood again, he silently adjusted his already disordered breathing. This is naked realm suppression, but his killing move is a lasting combat effectiveness, since leaving the barracks, he has not really fought with people for more than three hours, for him, as long as he is given time to adjust his breath, it is not yet known who will win or lose.

At this moment, he is high-spirited.

Wu Xiu got up slowly, Feng Shaobao was slightly surprised, you must know that the punch he just made was his seven-point strength.

The two points of force that day made Lao Liu's internal organs ruined, and at this moment, he finally knew what Li Fang said that day.

Wu Xiu's pale face gradually turned ruddy, and he began to pull up the cold snow stuck in the soil. He didn't speak, but silently stabbed out, and made a vicious move. Fight and retreat, retreat and fight, you come and go, obviously, Wu Xiu is at a disadvantage, and after an hour, there are already a few wounds on his body.

Wu Xiu's hand holding the gun began to bleed. Feng Shaobao has always dealt with it easily, the sword moves are ruthless, and the boxing techniques are also coming out with the sword moves, Wu Xiu has not only suffered sword wounds, but also a lot of punch wounds. But Wu Xiu did not stop his attack, but became faster and faster, even if it was to exchange injuries for injuries.

The person he saw touched his bottom line. There are five brothers in life and death, and now there are only two left, as the eldest of the five, he has the responsibility and obligation to protect the families of his brothers, which is also his family, what he will protect for the rest of his life, his reverse scales!

Under the Nine Springs, his brothers are watching him!

Guilt, pain, anger, and even some despair.

Finally, in the hysterical offensive, the cold snow cut through Feng Shaobao's cheek, and three inches down was where Feng Shaobao's artery was located.

Wu Xiu used the acupuncture opening skills he had mastered during this time to point at the acupoint next to the sword wound on his chest, making the blood flow slower. This kind of long-term fighting gradually made his feelings about himself clearer and clearer, and at this time, there was an acupuncture point on the inner thigh that was numb and painful, and when he closed his eyes, he could vaguely feel other occlusive acupuncture points that had been indifferent. After half an hour, the pain disappeared, and apparently another acupuncture point was opened, and then a certain acupuncture point on the back, and four hours passed, and four acupuncture points had been opened.

The moon is sparse, the wind is blowing, and it seems that it is going to rain.

Wu Xiu became more and more brave the more he fought, Feng Shaobao made all his moves, and beat Wu Xiu backwards with one punch, and finally fell to the ground.

Wu Xiu still held the cold snow in his hand, as if he couldn't hold it any longer as soon as he let go.

Feng Shaobao jumped over, looking at Wu Xiu, he was also sweating profusely, panting for breath.

He stared at Wu Xiu and finally said the first sentence in three hours, "You are very good, but I still have to cut off your head." ”

It was a faint day, and it had already begun to rain.

Wu Xiu struggled to get up again, he had already stumbled a little, he closed his eyes and slowed down, and then looked at Feng Shaobao. Then, the same action is repeated, stabbing forward again and again. Feng Shaobao sneered, he no longer used a sword, but used his fist, the move style was powerful, he wanted to snatch Wu Xiu's gun, every time he held the gun and wanted to pull it out, there was a burning sensation through the palm of his hand to his chest, which made him frightened, at the same time, Wu Xiu's hand holding the gun, there began to be a burst of coldness in the palm of his hand, this coolness spread throughout his body, so that the wounds on his body no longer bleed, and some of the fist wounds that did not see the wounds were no longer painful.

The fox demon Zhang Xiaolian said that day that this gun is a weapon of the fairy family, and it has innate restraint on the demon road.

Mr. Zhu, the great master of the Ghost Dao, said that there is such a good weapon, but it can't be buried.

It seems that if you have the opportunity, you must check the origin of the gun.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was already early in the morning, but it was dark.

The two began to level off, and Feng Shaobao frowned and began to gasp for breath.

When the rain gradually stopped, the sky was bright, and Feng Shaobao jumped away.

Wu Xiu stood with his gun in his hand, looking at the direction of Feng Shaobao's departure and wanted to chase after him, but this stop really didn't have the slightest strength, he tried not to let himself fall, tried to hold on for more time, and watched the direction of Feng Shaobao's departure for more than half an hour, blood began to flow down the corners of his mouth, and then he fell down silently.

Feng Shaobao hid behind a tree in the distance, he was very tired, it seemed to be the most tired in his life, he knew that he had hit a hard bone. And it is the hardest and hardest bone he has encountered in this life, he knows that he did not succeed in saying cruel things that day, and he is very angry.

Wu Xiu lay down until the evening, and when he got up, he felt that the acupuncture points that had been opened all over his body seemed to have exploded, and he vomited out a few mouthfuls of black blood to alleviate a few points, and he began to meditate and pranayama until late at night.

Sathorn walked very fast, before leaving, he chose three fast horses, only with dry food and some wine, he wanted to find that person as soon as possible, tell him something, and then return home as soon as possible, because his favorite concubine is going to give birth in the next two days, he asked the best Lang Zhong in Liuxia County to take the pulse, said it was a boy, which made him overjoyed, the fifty-year-old son can be said to be the ancestral grave is smoking, the important thing is that the first two wives are not born, the other gave birth to a girl and a man, but unfortunately the son is a fool。

In the second half of the night, the tired Sha Tong and his party walked not far from the battle between Wu Xiu and Feng Shaobao, they were far above the official road, and a disciple beside him looked into the distance and said, "Master, look! Is there a person meditating over there?"

The disciple he brought was not simple, his eyes were notoriously bright, and he had to deal with the tasks of the night guards in the martial arts hall.

Sha Tong clapped his hands and smiled, patting his disciple on the shoulder, but then reminded: "Don't take it lightly, if it's the murderer, let's not provoke him." ”

"Yes!"

The three rode slowly towards the river.

Sha Tong took the lead in the moonlight and said, "But Wu Shaoxia?"

Wu Xiu nodded.

Sha Tong laughed, turned over and dismounted, and said, "I am Bai Zhen to catch Sha Tong, and I came to look for Wu Shaoxia on the order of the town official Master Xu. ”

Wu Xiu finally hugged his fists, "It's hard", may I ask Xia Erniang and..."

Sha Tong replied: "The Xia family suffered misfortune, Lao Liu died, Xia Erniang survived, but the trauma was great, I am afraid that it will not be able to ease up for a while, but it is no big problem for Master Xu to personally send someone to take care of it." ”

Then, Sha Tong told Wu Xiu what happened in the Xia family that day.

"So Wu Shaoxia has already fought with that murderer?" asked Sha Tong as he sat on the ground and drank his drink.

Wu Xiu nodded, "Please go back and tell the town official Master Xu, just say that Xia Erniang is bothering him to take care of him, and when I finish my work, I will personally come to the door to thank him, and also, tell Xia Erniang that I am fine, I will definitely kill the murderer and avenge her and Lao Liu." ”

Sha Tong nodded, thoughtfully, it was his job to catch the murderer, but right now...

Wu Xiu saw his thoughts and said, "The murderer is strong in martial arts, and I am not his opponent." I don't know what the realm of sand fishing is fast, if the realm is too low, please go back, it's not a good thing to die in vain. ”

The words are a little ugly, but Li'er is such a reason, maybe ten or twenty years ago, he Sha Tong wanted to ask, no matter how high the realm is, can he surpass the national law of the Great Wei and defile the woman? Even if I fight to the death, I will take down the murderer to correct the national law, but time is the whetstone of all things, including the heart, when I am old, the only hope is that the children and grandchildren are full, the family is harmonious, and I want to be safe and secure, Sha Tong got up and clenched his fists," Wu Shaoxia's words, I will definitely bring them back word for word, I am really not good at the next ability, and I can't fight side by side with Wu Shaoxia. He took out a medicine bottle from his chest, "This is the ancestral trauma medicine of my Sha family, if Wu Shaoxia doesn't dislike it, please accept it in case you need it." ”

Wu Xiu got up and took it, hugged his fists, and then began to meditate and heal his wounds again, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to recuperate with war, and by the way, open more acupuncture points.

Shatong also hugged his fists, turned over on his horse, and rode away.

There was no word all night, Feng Shaobao did not come again, it seems that yesterday's battle was also quite a loss to him.

In the early morning, Wu Xiu was still asleep in meditation. The horse, which had been standing in the distance, walked up to his side and rubbed him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Feng Shaobao standing with his hands behind his back not far from him. After a day and a night of rest, Wu Xiu's injury was half healed, this extremely fast recovery speed seems to be related to the reason why he opened the acupoint during this time, and it may also be related to the cold and snow of the spear, in short, if he fights again, he is confident that he will fight for another three hours.

As for whether Feng Shaobao will leave in disgrace like the day before yesterday, he didn't know.

Feng Shaobao opened his mouth and asked, "Do you think I can't kill you?"

Wu Xiu replied lightly: "I don't know. But I can tell you, I'm going to kill you. ”

Feng Shaobao smiled slightly, "You want to go to Xudu?"

Wu Xiu did not answer.

Feng Shaobao said again: "There are still fifteen days to go to Xudu, and you seem to be in a hurry." But it doesn't matter, I've had many chances to kill you in these fifteen days, and you've had plenty of chances to kill me. After that, if we don't succeed, I hope you can devote yourself to cultivation and seek revenge on me in the future. Of course it's the same with me, I have ten years. ”

Wu Xiu asked, "Are you here to avenge that young man that day?"

Feng Shaobao shook his head, "I'm a dead man. ”

Wu Xiu said: "Dead people can't speak. ”

Feng Shaobao really didn't speak.

Wu Xiu turned around and led the horse, and said, "I have actually guessed your purpose, which is nothing more than that I killed a young man that day, and that young man is the son of a certain prince." Therefore, you and I don't need to hide, revenge is revenge, and it is only right for you to seek revenge from me, but you should not hurt my brother's mother. ”

Wu Xiu paused and said indifferently: "It's the same reason why I'm looking for you to take revenge." ”

Feng Shaobao smiled proudly, "My favorite thing to do in my life is to hurt the things that the enemy values most, because I like angry enemies." ”

Wu Xiu took a few steps and replied, "You will regret it." ”

When Wu Xiu walked away, Feng Shaobao suddenly asked, "What realm are you?"

Wu Xiu turned over on the official road, "You don't need to know. The only thing you have to know is that no matter what realm it is, no matter what method I use, I will kill you. ”

Feng Shaobao disagreed, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Wu Xiu led the horse slowly, he resented that he had affected his brother's family, and resented that he was not good at his ability and did not have a hand to kill the enemy. After leaving the barracks, he was full of ideals, that is, to wait for his brothers' hometown, and then return to his hometown to live in peace. If before, he just regarded practicing martial arts as a hobby after he left the barracks, not seeking how high he could reach, just hoping that he could calm down and live a less lonely life, then now, practicing martial arts is his driving force in life, he wants to practice, he wants to become a person with greater ability, he wants to become a person who can protect his family, and he wants to protect everything he has.

All causes arise from Him, and all Fruits should end with Him.

He got on his horse and rode to the dust.
