Liu Yuanqing and the others spent a long time trying to meet Chen to the four of them, and everyone didn't speak for a long time after learning about Lu Cheng's death. After a while, Liu Yuanqing suddenly said, "Miss Ma, where did the son who was with you go before?" Chu Zhao hurriedly said, "He was brought by me, and he has already returned to his gang." Zheng Yuanjue listened to it and said approvingly: "Yes, do good things without leaving a name, this kid has a good bearing." Xu Hao asked, "Miss Chu, where is he from?" Chu Zhao didn't know where the Ghost Fire Alliance was, so he had to answer truthfully: "It seems to be from some Ghost Fire Alliance." ”

When Liu Yuanqing and the other three heard this, they exclaimed at the same time: "Ghost Fire Alliance?, really?" Chu Zhao said with a surprised face: "Yes...... Oh, yes. Xu Hao also said: "How could it be that?" Chen Zhi asked: "Is there anything bad there?" Ming Yuanxia said: "Alas, this Ghost Fire Alliance is quite a mysterious place, but we know his actual situation. There's an alliance of killers who specialize in assassination. When everyone heard this, their faces changed.

Liu Yuanqing asked: "Is his surname Jane?" Chu Zhao nodded, and Liu Yuanqing couldn't help but say: "Good guy, it seems that it is Jian's invincible son or nephew." Chu Zhaoqi said: "Master Liu, who is this Jian Invincible?" Liu Yuanqing replied: "The leader of the Ghost Fire Alliance, that is, the leader of the Killer Alliance." His real name is not called Jane Invincible, I only know that his surname is Jane, he was in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and he has never been defeated, so people call him Jane Invincible, and his real name is gradually forgotten. Chen Zhiqi said: "I don't use my real name, it's strange." Zheng Yuanjue's: "It doesn't matter if he's strange or not, the important thing is not to provoke him for no reason, lest he be killed by his killer one day." ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but wipe his sweat, Chu Zhao wondered if Jian Chang would let his father come and attack Chen Zhi? Thinking of this, his hand couldn't help but hold Chen Zhi's clothes tightly. Liu Yuanqing said again: "The Ghost Fire Alliance has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for many years, but in fact, they have also killed a lot of people in the years of seclusion, but they have done it very secretly, and no one knows that they did it." If it weren't for the fact that one time their female killer was discovered by me, even I would have been kept in the dark. ”

Chu Zhao couldn't help but say, "Female killer?" Liu Yuanqing smiled: "What's the matter? Women can't be killers? To be honest, the number of female killers in the Ghost Fire Alliance should be more than forty percent, and it is not much less than that of male killers." After all, those assassins are always less vigilant about women, and female killers tend to have a higher success rate than male killers. Zheng Yuanjue said: "Since Jian Nandi dares to send his son to the rivers and lakes today, I think he has been hidden for so many years, he should also be ready to move, and now it is not far from the twenty-year Jianghu Conference, I think he wants to show his magic at the Jianghu Conference." ”

Chen Zhiqi said: "Jianghu Conference?" Zheng Yuanjue nodded and said: "Yes, the Jianghu Conference is a twenty-year conference held under Mount Tai. It stands to reason that it was held at our doorstep. Xu Hao smiled: "Yes, but when the last session was held, we were still young and had not had the opportunity to see it, but we can open our eyes after two years." ”

Chen Zhi asked again: "What is this Jianghu Conference for?" Zheng Yuanjue said: "It's very simple, it's just a competition of people in the rivers and lakes." Our generation of 'Six Heavenly Kings' was decided in the last session, including Chu Xun from Jiangnan, Wu Ze and Li Jiulun from the Central Plains, Qiao Ruixing from the East China Sea and Chen Jie from Xiliang. Interestingly, on the last day, a strange man from Xishu, who didn't even know what his name was, also came to participate. Originally, those people in the rivers and lakes did not allow him to enter, but our master was merciful and agreed to him. Unexpectedly, that person was a blockbuster, although Chu Xun, Wu Ze and the others would not defeat him, they couldn't help him. The original 'Five Heavenly Kings' have also become six. ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, he was very impressed, and suddenly asked again: "What ranking did Mu Kang's predecessor get?" Zheng Yuanjue shook his head and said: "He, like some masters, did not participate, as far as I know, he doesn't care about these false names, he just wants to kill all the bad guys in the world." Xu Hao listened to it and praised: "I have also heard of Mu Kang's predecessors, he actually has this heart, and our brother admires him very much." Ming Yuanxia said: "But the strange thing is that Mu Kang's predecessor has been missing from the rivers and lakes for ten years and will never show up on the rivers and lakes again." Chu Zhao knew this, but she didn't say it. Chen Zhi just wanted to say, Chu Zhao pinched the flesh on his waist, Chen Zhi was in pain, turned around and looked at her, Chu Zhao glanced at him, Chen Zhi didn't know what she meant, but he didn't say it.

Everyone walked out, and Chu Zhao suddenly said to Chen De: "Uncle Chen, I want to take my uncle to Brother Zhi's Dragon Scale Mountain to practice martial arts, do you agree?" Chen De knew that she wanted to take Chen Zhi to find Mu Kang, tilted his head and said, "Do you think I don't agree?" Chu Zhao lowered his head and didn't know how to answer, Chen Zhi just wanted to speak, but he didn't expect Chen De to laugh: "I know what you two do, why should I stop you if your relationship is so good?" Miss Xiao Zhao, I see that you are good to Shu Zhi, if Shu Zhi dares to bully you, see if I don't teach him a lesson!" Chu Zhao heard this, and shyly hid his head in Chen Zhi's arms, and everyone laughed.

Chen Zhi knew that he was about to be separated from everyone, and said to Chen De: "Uncle, then I'll go, you have to take care." Zheng Yan also said: "Master Liu, uncles and uncles, I should also go to meet with my senior brothers." Although I don't agree with their behavior, we are brothers after all, and besides, my master is still looking for me, so I also take my leave. And they all bowed up to the three of them. Ma Yibing said to Zheng Yan: "Brother Yan, I definitely can't go back with you, right?" Ignoring the gazes of others, Zheng Yan also kissed Ma Yibing on the forehead and said, "Yibing, I will identify you in this life." Don't worry, just go back to the Taishan faction with Master Liu, and I'll come to you when I'm free. Ma Yibing took out a bracelet that was broken in half from his arms and said, "This is what my father used to use, you can take this half." As he spoke, he handed him half of it. Zheng Yan stretched out his hand to take it, held the half-section bracelet tightly in his hand, and said with a smile: "Seeing it is like seeing you." ”

Zheng Yan separated from everyone first, and rushed back the same way. Chen Zhi and Chu Zhao also said goodbye to everyone and rushed to Dragon Scale Mountain.

Yang Zhai was not far from Dragon Scale Mountain, and Tai Wuyun's foot strength was faster, so the two of them arrived at Dragon Scale Mountain in a few days. Chen Zhi was a little uneasy and said: "Xiao Zhao, you asked me to come to Senior Mu to apprentice, do you think he can agree?" Chu Zhao knew in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Shuzhi, he will definitely agree." ”

The two walked to the wooden house where Mu Kang lived, Mu Kang was sitting under the tree to enjoy the shade, and when he saw the two coming, he couldn't help laughing: "Yo, the two dolls still met together." Chu Zhaoyan smiled and said, "Senior Mu, should you do what you promised me?" Mu Kang's face changed, he looked at Chen Dao, and asked, "Boy, what have you done these days?" Chen Zhi didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he told all the things he had done in the past few days.

Mu Kang nodded and said, "This Li Jiulun is really in the next big game of chess, and I really can't take him lightly." Boy, it's really not easy for you to deal with Li Qianyu, although he is not a character I can look up to, but he is very powerful for you. And in Wuqun Mountain Villa, it is really not easy for you to get Chen Qun's approval. Chen Qun's kid, although he is not very powerful, is also the most capable of Chen Ding's subordinates back then, and his requirements for his subordinates are not low. Chen Zhi listened to him praising himself, and nodded incessantly, Chu Zhao sat on the side, also nodding with a smile. Unexpectedly, Mu Kang changed his words and said, "However, these are not the point. Chen Zhi was stunned and said: "Then what is the point?" Mu Kang said: "What I value most is character, and the second is ambition." I don't have any doubts about your character, but I'm not sure if you have the ambition to support the responsibilities I bring to you. Chen didn't know why, just kept nodding.

Mu Kang was very unhappy when he saw that he was like a piece of wood, and said, "Okay, boy, I have the heart to take you as an apprentice, are you willing?" Chen Zhi was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and he couldn't answer, and he couldn't move, and froze in place stupidly. Chu Zhao hurriedly pushed him, and only then did he come back to his senses and shouted, "Yes, willing!" Lying on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly.

Mu Kang was very helpless about his sluggishness, glared at Chu Zhao and said, "If it weren't for your female doll...... Chen Zhi was stunned and said, "What?" Mu Kang looked at Chu Zhao's unkind eyes, and hurriedly said: "Actually, this is not a good place to learn martial arts, tomorrow I will take you to a really good place to learn martial arts, how about it?" Chen Zhi listened and nodded excitedly.

Mu Kang suddenly turned his face and said, "Shuzhi, you are my second apprentice." Your brother didn't succeed in my mission, and now, it's up to you. Chen Zhi didn't know what he was talking about, and asked, "What mission?" Mu Kang said: "Actually, I am from Xuzhou, and my master is one of the Xuzhou Danyang Army, to be exact, the leader of the elite of the Danyang Army, the White Soldier. This army is only five or six thousand people in total, and it has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of other ordinary armies. And now it was when I went back to Xuzhou to lead them, but I couldn't use martial arts anymore ten years ago, so I pinned my hopes on my apprentices. However, your senior brother is really not angry, he has no interest in charging into battle, but runs to the flag of the separatist princes as a guard. I don't have any hope for him anymore, so my mission will be on you, you know?"

After listening to his words, Chen Zhi understood what he meant, and said, "Master, I understand. I will do my best to fulfill my mission. Mu Kang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about saying this, I didn't let you go to the battlefield now, you have to observe the current political situation like Chen Qun, find a master, and lead the Bai Yu soldiers to be loyal to him and save the country." Remember, it's not about who your lord is, it's about the people of the world. Chen Zhi nodded and said, "I know, Uncle Chen is very careful to follow the master's teachings." Mu Kang smiled: "You are still young and do not understand what I am saying. You'll find out later. ”

After talking, in the evening, Chu Zhao quietly told Mu Kang what Ma Yuanyi said. Mu Kang's whole body was tense and asked, "What you said is true?" Chu Zhao nodded, and Mu Kang said: "Your words are not enough to overturn Li Jiulun's words, unless you find the Du Ming you said." I know, Xiao Zhao, I haven't used martial arts for ten years, and I won't be in a hurry if I have more time. Now the important thing is to teach the uncle to. Chu Zhao was also very happy and said, "Don't worry, Senior Mu, I will help you." Mu Kang smiled and said, "Do you think I don't know your careful thoughts, and it's not for the sake of Uncle Zhi's good kid?" Chu Zhao stuck out his tongue and turned to leave.

The next day, Mu Kang left the wooden house with the two of them, and went up the mountain all the way, Chen Zhi asked, "Master, if we go up again, won't we go to the thieves' den?" Mu Kang shook his head and said: "Do you think the Dragon Scale Mountain is so small? The three of them climbed all the way up the mountain, and after a long time, they finally arrived in front of a Taoist temple.

Chen Zhi saw that it was written: "Ming Xuanguan, and couldn't help but wonder: "Master, are you going to become a monk?" Chu Zhao smiled and said: "How is it possible, the quiet here is conducive to practice, but I don't know if Master has good friends here." After saying that, Mu Kang smiled maliciously. Mu Kang didn't dare to look at her, but said, "Yes, I have a friend here, why don't you go in." ”

The three of them walked in, and a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old came out of it, looked at them and asked curiously, "What ......are you doing?" Mu Kang sighed and said, "Let's find Master Zhengyuan." When the girl heard this, she immediately laughed and said, "Are you friends with Master? Not long after, a Daoist aunt of the same age as Mu Kang came over, and when the Daoist aunt looked at Mu Kang, her face changed slightly, and she smiled and said: "Brother Mu, why do you have time to come to my pure place?" Mu Kang smiled back and said: "I don't hide it, I have accepted another apprentice and want to teach him here, what do you think?" The Dao aunt said: "We have known each other for so long, why do you want to see each other? Feathers, come and see Uncle Mu. The girl from before stepped forward and bowed to Mu Kang and said, "Uncle Mu is good." The Dao Gu pointed at her and said, "This is one of my lay disciples, Lin Yusheng." Mu Kang also asked Chen Zhi and Chu Zhao to step forward and said, "Quickly say hello to Master Zhengyuan." The two of them also bowed to Master Taiyi. Mu Kang said: "This kid is my apprentice Chen to Chen Shuzhi, and this girl is my friend's daughter and uncle's...... Uh, good friend. Master Zhengyuan smiled and said, "I know, good friend, it must be a good friend." That Lin Yushang also smiled kindly at Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi saw it, his mouth was grinning, but he couldn't laugh, Chu Zhao watched from the side, and he was a little unhappy in his heart for some reason, but he didn't express it.

The three of them stayed in Mingxuguan like this, and the next day, Mu Kang found Chen Dao, walked to the grove in the backyard, and said, "Uncle Zhi, I have taught you my best light skill 'Breaking the Sky and Floating Clouds'. However, you can only use this trick to escape, and obviously it won't help much. Today, I will pass on to you my best foreign kung fu fusion 'Melting Sky Fist'. Chen Zhi didn't know what this 'Melting Sky Fist' was, but he also knew that it must be an extremely strong martial art, so he quickly agreed with a smile. "But......" Mu Kang changed his words and said, "You can't pass this trick on to anyone else, unless you're an apprentice." Chen Zhi nodded, and Mu Kang said again: "Also, pay attention to your seniority, and you are absolutely not allowed to teach Chu Zhao's little daughter-in-law or other relatives and friends as apprentices, understand?" Chen Zhi was puzzled: "Then what if Xiao Zhao insists on learning?" Mu Kang knocked on the door of his head and said: "Are you a fool? At home, men are the sky, and if Xiao Zhao insists on learning, you won't be hard not to teach?" Chen Zhi argued: "Who said that men are heaven? Men and women are obviously equal." Mu Kang was speechless for a while, and said angrily: "You kid don't give me nonsense here, if she wants to learn, you let her come to me, do you hear?"

"Oh. Chen Zhimu replied. Mu Kang sighed heavily and said, "Okay, take a good look." With that, he turned around, took a horse step, spun his hands a few times, and suddenly turned his palms into fists and struck forward, and all the grass and trees in front of him were swept up, and were swept to pieces by the gust of wind, and scattered in the air.

Chen Zhi was dumbfounded, looking at Mu Kang unable to say a word, Mu Kang said: "Actually, there is not much difference between you using your fist or your palm in the end, although this set of boxing methods is called 'Melting Sky Fist', it is okay to call it 'Melting Sky Palm'." This trick is called 'Stone Breaker', Uncle Zhi, you come to learn first. ”

Chen Zhi stepped forward and punched forward with Mu Kang's moves, only to hear the sound of "Weng", rolling up a lot of leaves. Mu Kang scolded: "Boy, what are you doing? Picking up leaves is fun, isn't it? Picking them up like this is much faster than bending down and reaching out to pick them up, you kid is really smart and clever." Chen Zhi scratched his head embarrassedly and looked at him as if asking for help.

Mu Kang saw him staring at him, and said angrily: "What are you kid doing looking at me? Do I have a trick written on my face? Don't you practice quickly!" Chen Zhi quickly turned around and continued to learn from Mu Kang's appearance just now. Mu Kang scolded while watching: "You are so soft, can you break the stone? This trick is called 'Stone Breaking Heaven'! Are you trying to shock the sky? Not even an ant can startle who you want to start? Faster, not fierce enough! Faster!"

The two practiced back and forth for a morning, Chu Zhao came over with lunch, saw Chen Zhi sweating profusely, and said with concern: "Senior Mu, how is Brother Shu Zhi practicing?" Mu Kang held the branch in his mouth, snorted, and said: "How is it? I originally thought that this kid was just sluggish, but now I think he is really stupid. Chen Zhi looked back at Chu Zhao embarrassedly and said, "It's still ...... Not so much. Mu Kang spit out the branch and said, "If you know it won't work, continue to practice, don't make excuses to talk, hurry!"

Chu Zhao said: "Can I see the results of his practice?" Lin Yushang also ran over and said, "Yes, yes, I want to see it too." Mu Kang looked at the two of them and said, "Okay, Uncle will demonstrate you." Chen Zhi turned around, and with a "stone shock" hit a thin pine tree on the side, only to hear a "click", and the pine tree broke in response. Not only Chu Zhao and Lin Yushang were taken aback, but even Mu Kang's eyes widened, and he jumped up and said, "Good boy, you are hiding it, you were playing with me just now, right?" Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "No, it was done according to the method just now." Mu Kang listened and said to himself: "Could it be that this kid suddenly understands the trick?" Chu Zhaoxi said: "How about it, Senior Mu, this is okay." Mu Kang snorted and said, "What is this? Just that pine tree, thinner than your little finger, what is it to interrupt it? Not enough, not enough." Chu Zhao was very happy in his heart, and said, "Okay, we won't disturb you, you continue to practice." Then he pulled Lin Yushang and left.

Mu Kang said again: "Uncle Zhi, what you want for this 'stone shattering' is to be fast, otherwise you will shoot like a snail, even if you break the stone, will you be shocked? Chen Zhi nodded and continued to practice.

The two practiced like this for more than ten days, and on this day Chu Zhao came to deliver food again, and when he saw that Chen Zhi was already playing well, he said happily: "How about it, Senior Mu, Brother Shu Zhi won't lose your face, right?" Mu Kang shook half of the wood in his hand and said: "This 'Melting Sky Fist' has a total of twelve styles, and this kid has learned the first five styles, which is still reasonable." But do you think that's all right? Have you ever seen someone who can get out on the rivers and lakes in five moves? My apprentice doesn't just want to be famous in the rivers and lakes, I want him to be famous all over the world!" Chen Zhi and Chu Zhao were stunned when they heard this.

Mu Kang looked at the two of them and said, "What's the matter, don't you have confidence? Are you afraid?" Chen Zhi quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, the disciple must not let the master down." He practiced again, and this new move "Heaven and Earth Net" and "One Pillar Optimus" one is to jump into the sky and envelop the fist wind under him, which is extremely powerful. The other is from the bottom up, the strongest attack on the enemy in the air, these two tricks are mutually beneficial, Chen Zhi only took two days to learn both tricks perfectly, Chu Zhao was even happier to see it.

After a few more days, Chen Zhi had learned the Nine Forms, and Mu Kang said to Chen Zhi: "Uncle Zhi, you have learned so many tricks, go down the mountain these days." Scatter your heart, be greedy and chew more, and teach it in a few days to have a better effect. Chen Zhi listened, scratched his head, and said, "But ......" "But what? Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go down the mountain." If you run into the group of rats in Panpan Mountain, it's good to beat them, can't you really beat them and run?" Lin Yushang happened to be nearby, and after listening to Mu Kang's words, he immediately jumped to Chen Zhi's side and said, "Yes, Brother Chen, I'll take you around, I'm familiar with this area." He dragged Chen Zhi away, and Chen Zhi saw that she was lively and inconvenient to refuse, so he had to go with her, but forgot to call Chu Zhao.

On the evening of the first day, Sima Fuzhong, the county seat of Yangzhai County.

Geng Shijie was sitting in the house cutting clothes, listening to the sound of the rain outside the house and the sound of the rain together, he couldn't help but think of some old things, and sighed deeply.

Suddenly, there was the sound of heavy footsteps. Geng Shijie stopped what he was doing, and said in his heart: "Guojie and Renjie are not here, and others will rarely come to us except Mr. Sima, but Mr. Sima's footsteps will not be so loud, who will it be?" Suddenly, a dark shadow turned a corner and walked over, and a dull voice sounded: "It's still like this." ”

Geng Shijie only felt that this voice was very familiar, and asked, "Who are you, what are you doing here?" The strange man reached out and touched the jars full of wine, and sighed, "Nothing has changed." Geng Shijie said: "Don't touch these. The strange man asked, "Why?" Geng Shijie said: "This is something for my teacher, I was damaged by a thief last time, and I can't waste it anymore." Geng Shijie nodded silently and said, "Yes, he likes to cut clothes the most, and he likes to drink second." The strange man looked at the tailor behind him and smiled bitterly, "You are really loyal." Geng Shijie's heart was shocked, and he said in a trembling voice: "You...... You are ......" The strange man lifted the hat that covered his head and said, "I'm nobody, am I?" Geng Shijie couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed heartily, and the laughter resounded through the night sky.

Chen Zhi and Lin Yushang rode a horse down Longscale Mountain, Chen Zhi asked, "Where are we going?" Lin Yushang said: "Yuanshi County, how is it?" Chen Zhi was startled and said, "That's not good." Lin Yusheng said: "Why not?" Chen Zhi said: "It's too far to go there, and you have to toss back and forth for a few days." Lin Yushang smiled: "Uncle Mu didn't let you just rest for a day, it's a long time, what's the hurry?" Chen Zhi stammered: "But ......" Lin Yushang opened her big watery eyes, looked at him curiously, and suddenly said: "Oh, I know, you're afraid that Sister Chu will be angry, right? Don't worry, she won't be angry." Chen Zhi was still reluctant, and said: "Miss Lin, I won't tell you, I have a little uncle in Yuanshi County, and I don't dare to go there." Lin Yushang said: "What are you afraid of if you have relatives?

When Chen Zhi thought of Chen Renzhe's tragic death, he felt a pang of grief in his heart and sighed: "Miss Lin, you don't know anything. This little uncle of mine thought that his son was killed by me, and sent people everywhere to arrest me, oh yes, he was the county magistrate of Yuanshi County. ”

Lin Yushang listened and said with a smile: "Isn't that better? You can just explain to him clearly that your son was not killed by you, how good?" Chen Zhi felt that it made sense when he heard it, Lin Yushang patted her horse, ran forward, turned around and waved his hand: "Brother Chen, keep up." Chen Zhi had no choice but to pat Tai Wuyun and follow.

In the Ming Void View, Mu Kang no longer had to teach Chen to martial arts, he lazily leaned on the big stone and basked in the sun. Master Zhengyuan slowly approached, and also sat on the stone next to him, without saying a word.

Mu Kang had a leaf on one eye, and the other opened to look at her, closed his eyes and said, "Zhengyuan, after so many years of being a monk, you still can't forget the world?" Mu Kang crossed Erlang's legs, muttered for a long time, and said, "It's that I can't stand you, for me, my mission is greater than everything." But I'm also an uncompetitive person, and in the end I didn't get anything. ”

Master Zhengyuan shook off the dust in his hand and said, "I don't blame you, but do you really want to hide any longer? Mu Kang shook his head and said, "A tiger, if you don't hunt for too long, you will naturally forget how to hunt. I won't be like these beasts, but my heart has long since fallen silent. Isn't Old Demon Chu the same as me? Why don't they show their heads on the rivers and lakes, at least those who were fooled by Li Jiulun will not come to us to seek revenge, and there will be less bloody wind and rain on the rivers and lakes. Let Li Jiulun make trouble by himself, I don't believe he can play any tricks. ”

Master Zhengyuan said in a deep voice: "I understand all the things before, Li Jiulun obviously wants to make a big move, then Jian Yandi will not pretend to be dead anymore." Qiao Ruixing and Chen Jie have rarely appeared on the rivers and lakes over the years, Wu Ze is only for martial arts, and he is always very unreliable, do you really think that Zhao Zhen of the Divine Hammer Gang alone can suppress them?"

"Rest assured. Mu Kang still lay motionless on the big rock, and said: "If Li Jiulun and Jian Nandi really want to do bad things, Qiao Ruixing will not sit idly by, his name of 'East China Sea Hero' is not called in vain." Besides, even if Li Jiulun did something bad, could I stop it? He only had to turn his black iron gun to kill me. ”

"So you want to train Shuzhi to deal with him?" asked Master Zhengyuan quietly. Mu Kang shook his head and said, "If Uncle Zhi only learns my kung fu, he will definitely not be his opponent, and I will not let my apprentice take such a risk." Everyone knows that Li Jiulun wants to dominate the martial arts, and there is no shortage of uncles to stop him. What I'm worried about is the current political situation, how can we end this era of strife as soon as possible?"

Master Zhengyuan smiled and said: "You also said, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, I think Chen Qun's idea is very good, can't you learn from him?" Mu Kang sat up and said, "Zhengyuan, do you think you will return to the world?" Master Zhengyuan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Mu, you also know what kind of character I am." I don't think I'll ever have the chance to go down to Dragon Scale Mountain again in my life, I have my painful experience, so I won't let my disciples be like me. Mu Kang shook his head and said, "It seems that Cui Yuan from the back then will never come back, right?" Master Zhengyuan nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Kang back then is also gone, isn't it?" "Yes." Mu Kang sighed: "Yu Sheng is a lay disciple, and he will not continue to stay in Dragon Scale Mountain in the future, right?" Master Zhengyuan said: "She is an orphan I picked up, but she was not born to practice material. When she has a heart in the future, I will naturally let her pursue her pursuit. ”

Mu Kang stretched out his right index finger and said, "That being said, I suggest that you don't let her have too much contact with Uncle Zhi again." Master Zhengyuan smiled and asked, "Why?" Mu Kang said: "In this era, Shu Zhi's honest and loyal character is very easy to like girls. After all, this kind of character is the easiest for girls to feel safe, and Shu Zhi already has Xiao Zhao......" Master Zhengyuan asked seriously: "Isn't it normal for men to have three wives and four concubines in this era?" Mu Kang's face changed, and he said: "What are you talking about? Shu Zhi respects women very much, he is better than me at this point, and it is even more difficult for you to let him take a concubine than ascending to the sky." Actually, I think he is right, so for the sake of everyone, you should listen to me. ”

Master Zhengyuan nodded, stood up, and said, "Okay, I just hope they don't have any feelings this time." He turned around and walked away. Mu Kang stared at her departing back and muttered, "My tragedy, how can I let it befall my apprentice again?"

As soon as Mu Kang lay down again, Chu Zhao ran to his side and asked, "Senior Mu, didn't Brother Shu Zhi practice martial arts today?" Mu Kang raised his head and took a sip of water, and said, "No." Chu Zhao asked again: "Then where did he go? Did he go out to play? Hmph, he didn't call me!" Mu Kang said: "Girl, I also told you that not only did he not call you, but also left with Lin Yusheng." Chu Zhao's eyes widened and said, "Sister Helin, why?" Mu Kang smiled: "Don't you know Shu Zhi's character? As long as the girl asks him for help, will he refuse?" Chu Zhao said unhappily: "Then don't say a word to me, it's really annoying." Mu Kang straightened up and said, "Actually, it's okay, Uncle Zhi can't just live with you as a woman in the future, and it's also good for him to have more experiences with more people." ”

Chu Zhao nodded, and suddenly smiled at Mu Kang: "Then Senior Mu, what kind of past do you have with Master Zhengyuan?" Can you tell me about it?" Mu Kang glanced at her vigilantly and asked, "Are you so interested in this?" Chu Zhao said with a "hmm" and said, "Yes, I will also learn from you, so as not to have problems with me and my uncle and brother." Mu Kang sighed and said, "It's okay, then you can listen carefully." ”

After taking another sip of water, the old memories of the past appeared in Mu Kang's mind again.

"I originally lived in Xuzhou carefree, and I didn't care about the things of the people around me. When both of my parents died of illness, my uncle gave me over to my master to raise. My master's identity is very hidden, and he seems to be just an ordinary person, but in fact, he is an important figure in the Danyang Army of Xuzhou, and he is also a martial arts master. He took in six apprentices in his life, but unfortunately all five of my brothers died in the line of duty, and in the end only I was left. So the burden on my shoulders was heavier, and my master also taught me his martial arts, and I was also successful in martial arts at the age of thirty. So my master asked me to go out alone, and at the same time gave me a task to go north to Luoyang to find out the news of the Ghost Fire Alliance. ”

"I didn't know what that Ghost Fire Alliance was at the time, but after my master's explanation, I realized that it was a killer alliance, and a new alliance leader selection will be held in Luoyang in the near future. Let me go and listen to the truth, and by the way, disturb their assembly. I was not young at that time, and I had seen a lot of the world, so I set off with the supreme holy relic that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Bai Yu soldiers, the Bai Yu Golden Gun. When I arrived in Luoyang, I changed my equipment, wrapped the golden gun in a piece of cloth, and went around looking for the selection meeting of the Ghost Fire Alliance. I went to the guy at my hotel and asked, 'Where is the quietest place in the city and the least things going on?' and the guy told me, 'The southwest corner of the city is usually the quietest.' Because the Ghost Fire Alliance was not a good thing, and would not dare to hold a meeting in a prosperous place, I came to the southwest of the city. Although it is few and relatively desolate, there are also some places where many people gather. When I arrived at a large house, I saw several Hanako gathered at the door. I stopped one of them and asked about the situation, but they couldn't say anything, just what was going on inside. At this time, a girl next to me patted me, and when I saw it, it was a very dirt-dressed girl, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, but her appearance was very beautiful. She asked me if I wanted to go in and have a look, and of course I said yes. So she led me inside, and it was very noisy, and I listened carefully to what was indeed talking about the election of the new leader. I thought it was strange, so I asked the girl why no outsiders could get in, and she laughed and told me that those Hanako were masters, and that others couldn't get through them if they wanted to. I was even more strange, so I asked how I came in so easily? She pretended to be mysterious, and said that those called Hanako listened to her, and when I asked, I realized that she was the child of a wealthy merchant in Luoyang, and often gave a lot of alms to these Hanako, so when these Hanako saw that she was carrying someone, they did not stop her. ”

Chu Zhao asked, "Is that girl Shitai?" Mu Kang nodded silently and said, "Yes, she said her name is Cui Yuan." I asked her why she was dressed like this, and she said that her usual clothes were too ostentatious and easy to attract attention. I also asked her why she had to come with me if she could easily come in, and she said that she didn't know martial arts and needed someone to protect her. I frightened her and said, 'I have martial arts, but I'm a bad person!' but she was not afraid at all, and looked into my eyes with her chest puffed up and said, 'I can see that you are a good person by looking at your eyes.' We looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and went inside again. After walking a short distance, I met a man about thirty years old, and I saw that the man was strong and shrewd, so I went up and said hello. The man greeted us very warmly, he said that his surname was Jane, and people called him invincible, so just call him Jane, but his real name was not said. We followed Jian Nandi to watch under a big platform, only to see an old man in his sixties walk up to the stage and say loudly: "The old alliance leader died of illness suddenly, and the power to elect the new alliance leader will be handed over to the old slave, please rest assured, today the old slave will definitely elect a new alliance leader for everyone to convince everyone." I thought to myself, 'What this guy said is really simple, such a big gang has its own supporters, how can you choose someone who can convince everyone?' I think Jian Nandi asked, it turns out that this old man's name is Yao Long, and he is a servant of the late alliance master, and he has some ability, and everyone respects him. I only heard him continue: "According to the previous rules of this sect, everyone goes to the stage to compete, and the person with high martial arts is naturally our new alliance leader. I thought to myself, 'There's nothing new about this Ghost Fire Alliance, and even electing the leader of the alliance is such an old-fashioned routine.' Unexpectedly, the invincible Jian jumped on the stage and said, "Master Yao, I have something to say." I saw him behave like this, and I wanted to see what he was capable of and could have the name 'invincible', so I didn't stop him and watched from the audience. ”

"I saw that Yao Long glanced at him and said, 'Yo, it's a difficult enemy, what do you want to say?' I just listened to Jian Nan's enemy: "As we all know, our Ghost Fire Alliance is a killer alliance, and I think our alliance leader should not only be strong in martial arts, but also be able to lead and distribute everyone's actions, and at the same time be able to personally complete the assassination if necessary." As soon as these words came out, everyone talked about it, and I heard a few people: 'This Jian is one of the best in this sect, what does he mean by this? Do you not want to be the leader of the alliance?' I heard them say this, and I admired this Jian Jian even more, and then Ah Yuan asked me what he meant? I told her that Jian was worried that everyone would not be satisfied after he won with his martial arts, and if he could win the first place in all aspects, then everyone must be convinced of him. Ah Yuan was a little worried: "But he may not be able to lead in all aspects, what if someone wins him?" I smiled and said, "If he is not completely sure, why should he do anything to harm himself?" Only by keeping the alliance leader ahead can we keep the Ghost Fire Alliance ahead of the other gangs. If we just want an alliance leader who can fight, and we don't want the alliance leader to take everyone to fight the enemy directly, then we simply don't call it the Killer Alliance, but call the Battle Alliance. As soon as these words came out, many people in the crowd responded. Yao Long listened, pondered for a long time, and discussed with several other old men behind him for a while, before he came out and said, "Since everyone agrees with the statement that the enemy is invincible, let's change it." As soon as these words came out, everyone cheered, and I think there are many opponents who are difficult to beat, after all, they are not invincible opponents. ”

Chu Zhao asked again: "Then how do they compare?" Mu Kang took another sip of water and said: "The competition still has to be compared, but first those elders will give them questions, such as what situation you encounter, if you are the leader of the alliance, how will you deal with it." Jian is invincible, and the answer is really reasonable, and after a few rounds of questions, there are many fewer people who are qualified to participate in the competition. Ayuan and Jian Nandi and I watched the first few rounds of the competition offstage, and the level of those guys was just like that. When Jane came out, those strong ones were eliminated in the previous round, and they couldn't compete with him at all, his punching and knife skills were really powerful, I think I could beat him, but it would take a lot of effort. He easily won the position of alliance leader. At this time, Ayuan suddenly said: "It's not good!" I asked her why, and she said, "You just said that he can convince his opponent more, but his powerful opponent can't compete with him at all, how can they convince him?" I was very appreciative of her discovery, so I scared her and said, "So, those people will definitely come to trouble him, and you and I will be implicated, are you afraid?" I noticed that a few people were looking at Jian Nandi on the stage and gritting their teeth, knowing that my joke might be about to come true, I admired Jian Nandi's ability very much, and I didn't want to see him killed like this, so I was determined to help him. After the end of the game, Jian Nandi had not immediately taken over as the leader of the alliance, and had to rush back to the main altar of the Youzhou Ghost Fire Alliance immediately. I said to Ayuan, 'It's dangerous now, you better go home.' Unexpectedly, she said, 'Since it is dangerous, I want to spend it with you.' I was very strange and said, "We don't know each other, why are you doing this to me?" She rolled her big eyes and said, "You don't know, this Luoyang City is rotten and dim, there is hardly a good person, I can see from your eyes that you are a good person, so I can't let good people have accidents, I have to follow you." At that time, I felt that she was by no means a person who knew martial arts, and could not withstand her stalking, so I had to take her with me. When I first entered the world, I wanted to make more friends, so I suggested my advice to Jane. Jian Nandi listened to my suggestion and said, "Thank you Brother Mu for your concern, they really won't just give up, if you really want to help me, then I, Jian Nandi, will make you a friend, why don't we go in a carriage together?" He also called Ayuan 'sister-in-law', I wanted to explain, but Ayuan pulled me and didn't let go, so I didn't say anything. Along the way, her liveliness broke my boredom, and before I knew it, I also had special feelings for her. When I asked her why she was so emotional about me, she just said, 'Eyes. She also said that I had never been to these places in Luoyang, she was used to seeing how the family harmed the poor families and ruined, and she also said that the world would not be peaceful for long, and that Luoyang would only be more chaotic than usual when the war was a war, and she wanted to leave Luoyang. Alas, at first I thought that she was really used to seeing bad things, and suddenly when she saw a good one, she threw herself into it desperately. ”

Chu Zhaoxin said: "This Zhengyuan Master is very similar to me, I have traveled all over Yuanshi County, and I only saw those snobs, and finally met Uncle Zhi's brother, and I gave him my sincerity." It's a pity that Mrs. Zhengyuan couldn't get a good ending, and I hope I can go to the end with my uncle and brother. Mu Kang looked at her thoughtful appearance and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, what are you thinking?" Chu Zhao told him what was in his heart. Mu Kang listened and said solemnly: "In this case, you must hold on to him and don't let him slip away." Then he spoke again: "Sure enough, as I expected, there were people from the Ghost Fire Alliance who came to stop me halfway, and the leader was a villain in his thirties, named Hu Feng, who said viciously: 'Jane is difficult to fight, this is all your own fault, I told you a long time ago, let you give up the position of the leader of the alliance, if you don't give up, forget it, you don't even give me the opportunity to come to power, I have to take your life today!' Jian is invincible just said lightly: "You and I have grievances, today should be clear, let's do it." 'That Hu Feng held a spear towards Jian Nan's enemy, I took out the white golden spear and blocked it first, that Hu Feng was also very good, and in front of my fifteen years of penance practice, he also withstood more than fifty rounds before he was defeated. His helpers came to help, but they were all repelled by my 'Molten Sky Fist' and Jane's self-created 'Invincible Sword Technique'. Jian Nan was hostile to Hu Feng and said: "We are all members of the Ghost Fire Alliance, everything should be for the sake of the sect, you are an important member of the sect, I will reuse you, you go back, don't think about taking the position of the leader of the alliance anymore." I also said, 'If you have any more such thoughts, I will not spare you.' Then Hu Feng walked away. Jian Nandi turned around and clasped his fist at me, saying, "Thank you Brother Mu for your help, but I have some things that I must make clear to Brother Mu today." It turns out that the Ghost Fire Alliance is responsible for taking other people's burdens and killing people according to the burden, and Jane Nandi himself said that they are not decent, and if I want to draw a line with him, he will not stop it. He also said that if anyone wanted to do something to me and my friend, he would get rid of that person for me. I didn't look down on them for a while, but after listening to his explanation, I turned around and left, and I never had any more contact with them. Later, I got acquainted with Chu Xun and Qiao Ruixing, and gradually forgot about him. But seeing Ayuan again today brought back this memory. ”

Chu Zhaoqi said: "Then what happened to you and Mrs. Shi?" Mu Kang said: "After a long time of coexistence, we have a relationship behind us, and I also know that she is actually a stunt. When she went back, she naturally planned to explain the matter to her family, and their family was a big family, so how could she allow this kind of thing to happen? She actually broke off the relationship with the family for my sake and returned to Xuzhou with me. And instead of completing Master's task, I helped the Ghost Fire Alliance, my Master was already in poor health, and I saw that I brought Ayuan back again, and he passed away like this. After his death, his heavy responsibility fell on my head, and those senior generals of the Danyang Army were very bad to Ayuan, so I left Xuzhou with Ayuan in a fit of anger. Her father and brother are also good hands, and they rushed to kill me when she was not with me, but I missed for a while, and killed her brother by mistake with 'lion brute skills', and when she came back, all thoughts were lost, and I had no face to see her, and returned to Xuzhou. Unexpectedly, she would leave home like this and live in seclusion on this Dragon Scale Mountain. ”

When Chu Zhao heard this, he was very emotional, and said, "This is obviously a misunderstanding, why don't you explain it to Shitai?" Mu Kang shook his head and said, "Of course I explained, but she said that she was sorry for everyone and didn't have the face to come out again." After a long time, I also gave up. I injected too much affection into her, and later made a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, and there was no shortage of female heroes, but I only regarded them as friends. Later, it happened that I mistakenly killed the Qing official and swore a poisonous oath, and I felt that life in the world was nothing more than this, so I also lived in seclusion in this Dragon Scale Mountain. During this time, I went out to see the battles everywhere, and there was always a mountain of corpses. I finally understood how heavy my responsibility was, and that I should not hide for the sake of the people of the world. So I once went out to hand over my mission to my eldest apprentice, but he was not angry, learned martial arts, and even ran to be a guard for others. I was so desperate for him that I hid in the mountains and never came out again. ”

Chu Zhao sighed: "But in this case, isn't your mission even more unfinished?" Mu Kang said: "So, I was originally going to go out of the mountain, but I happened to meet you." Uncle Zhi's ambition and character make me happy, do you think that I told you that promise just to let you go with your father? Chu Zhao was also very happy when he heard him praise Chen Dao, and said with a smile: "Of course, your vision is the best in the world." Mu Kang sighed: "I hope so, the time is getting tighter and tighter, and in a few days, I have to supervise Uncle Zhi's practice again." Chu Zhao said: "No, don't train him badly." Mu Kang smiled and said, "What's the matter? I'm distressed? Are you not happy that he's getting stronger day by day? Don't worry, I feel sorry for him too." ”

Chen Zhi and Lin Yushang walked for a few days and finally arrived in Yuanshi County. Chen Zhi said uneasily: "There won't be a portrait of me here, it really makes me uneasy." Lin Yushang smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you are too worried, I don't think there is anything here." Why don't we go to the county government first? Lin Yushang said: "Don't worry, I'll take the lead, if there is danger, I'll come back and tell you, how about it?" Chen Zhi saw that she was so interested, and it was inconvenient to object, so he had to follow her to the county mansion.

Seeing that the county government was still working as usual, Chen Zhi felt very strange, and said in his heart: "My little uncle is really powerful, isn't it crazy to find me? Lin Yushang got off the horse and went to a guard to ask, and came back to Chen Zhi and said: "Alas, your little uncle is really crazy looking for you, he doesn't even care about work, and he found the deputy county commander to act as an agent for the whole process." It is said that this deputy county commander has been acting for several months, but the county commander has not returned, and the four major generals under him have also been taken away by him, and now there are not a few senior officials left in the whole city. ”

Chen Zhi was shocked in his heart, and said: "Then what if we run into them? Let's go first, they must be wandering around the neighborhood, if they do, it will be miserable." Lin Yushang patted Chen Zhi's shoulder and said, "Alas, Brother Chen, you are too boring." You want to run when we just arrived, it's not like a man. Rest assured, they will definitely think you ran away and won't be nearby. Besides, if we go to those small places to play, we won't meet them. When Chen Zhi heard this, he had no choice but to say, "Okay, then let's hang around here for a few days." ”

At night, the two entered a place in the north of Changshan downtown and saw that all parts of the square circle were brightly lit. Chen Zhi asked, "What are you doing here?" Miss Lin, have you been here?" Lin Yushang nodded and said, "Yes, I've been here several times before." Chen Zhi said again: "Then what are you doing here?" Lin Yushang said: "There are all kinds of things, but the biggest place in front is for gambling." Chen Zhi was taken aback and said, "Miss Lin, what are you doing in this kind of place?" Lin Yushang said: "I usually pretend to be a man, they can't find out, don't worry, I play the third prince in the dice, I have never lost, what are you afraid of?"

Chen Zhi scratched his head and said: "Gambling money can't look at the past, anything can happen with this kind of luck, it's too risky." Lin Yushang pouted and said, "Okay, since you don't agree, then we'll just look at it today, okay, by the way, let you also understand." Chen Zhi listened, thought of not having to participate, and immediately agreed.

The two walked in, and immediately someone ran to Chen Zhi and said with a hippie smile: "Ouch uncle, what are you going to play today?" Chen Zhi didn't know what to say, Lin Yushang said: "We know the way, don't bring it, don't bring it." When the man saw that she was a woman, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes, but he still looked at Chen Dao. Chen Zhi was very dissatisfied with his eyes, and said, "Yes, you don't need to bring it, we will go by ourselves." The man turned and walked away.

Chen Zhi followed Lin Yushang to find a place, Lin Yushang looked at it very excitedly, Chen Zhi watched those people turn around with a cup and couldn't see anything clever. Just watched Lin Yushang sigh and sighed, so he had to stammer. Suddenly, he saw a familiar face on the opposite side - Jiang Lou. The two met before Chen Renzhe was killed, Jiang Lou also saw Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi suddenly saw him, was taken aback, and said to Lin Yushang anxiously: "I saw the person who was going to arrest me, let's run!"
