Chapter 7: The Thief is a Master

Chu Zhao saw that the leader suddenly made a killing move, and quickly grabbed Chen Renzhe's clothes and pulled him back. The leader missed the blow and said, "Girl, you are against me everywhere, even if you look at your master's face, I can only be rude!"

Chen Zhi helped Chen Renzhe up and said, "Brother, it's too dangerous here, you go quickly, I'll block them." Chen Renzhe shook his head and said: "Big brother, we are brothers, how can I abandon you, we will entangle them, and when the army comes, we will be safe." Chen Zhi hurriedly said: "Brother, their goal is me, we don't need to be buried here together, maybe this is my life, but you don't have to be like this." But no matter how Chen Zhi persuaded him, Chen Renzhe just didn't leave.

Chu Zhao once again used the palm technique just now, and the leader had already figured out one or two, and the palm technique he used was fierce and ruthless, forcing Chu Zhao to retreat in defeat again and again. Chu Zhao wanted to win in defeat, and suddenly lowered his body so that his internal strength was straight to the leader's chest. The leader shouted: "What a strong internal strength!" took a few steps back and waited, Chu Zhao hurriedly retreated when he missed the blow. The leader forced up again, stretched out his palm to attack Chu Zhao's eyes, Chu Zhao hurriedly dodged, who knew that this was just a false move, the leader turned his palm into a finger and poked down, and hit Chu Zhao's "shoulder well point" impartially. Chu Zhao's body was numb and he stood in place unable to move.

Chen Zhi was taken aback and shouted, "Run!" Chen Renzhe hurriedly turned around and ran away, Chen Zhi raised his long sword and went to meet him, and the leader let go of the sword and chased after Chen Renzhe directly. Chen Zhi was shocked and shouted, "Brother, be careful!"

Chen Renzhe heard Chen Zhi's warning, and hurriedly rolled to the left, dodging the leader's sharp palm. Chen arrived and blocked Chen Renzhe behind him. The leader smiled and said: "It's hard to protect yourself, and you have to kill yourself?" Chen Zhi said: "I will die today, why do you embarrass my brother?" The leader said: "Okay, let me tell you, I like to see you suffer, I want to kill your brother first, then kill Chen De and Chen Li, and finally, kill you again and again." ”

Chen Zhi was horrified when he heard this, and said angrily: "You are really psychopathic. The leader said, "Yes, I'm a psychopath, how about it? Hurry up and die!"

Chen Zhi threw the long sword head-on at the leader, pulled Chen Renzhe and ran. The leader swung his sword to block the flying sword, and said, "Can you run away?" flew after him, and slapped Chen Renzhe on the back of the heart.

Chen Renzhe vomited blood and fell to the ground in an instant, Chen Zhi looked back and quickly turned around to help. The leader sighed: "Actually, I originally wanted Chen Li to kill you, but you really don't know how to lift, forget it, I'll send you away today." As he spoke, he slowly raised the steel knife in front of Chen Zhi.

"Thief, stop!" I saw Liu Yuanqing suddenly jump out, and attacked the leader with two swords in his hand, and the leader hurriedly raised his sword to meet him. Liu Yuanqing's heavy sword attack was extremely fierce, and he immediately forced the leader back a few steps.

Chen Zhi was still calling Chen Renzhe, Chen Renzhe's mouth was bleeding constantly, he raised his head with difficulty and said, "Big brother, you must survive and repay me for ······" Before he could finish his sentence, he died. Chen Zhi was full of grief and indignation, gently put down his corpse, and said softly: "Brother, I will definitely avenge you." ”

Chen Zhi stood up, saw Chu Zhao standing upright on the ground, hurriedly ran over, and said, "Xiao Zhao, have you been pointed?" Chu Zhao couldn't speak, just signaled with his eyes. Chen Zhi didn't know how to solve the acupoint, but he was in a hurry on the side, and wanted to ask Liu Yuanqing, but seeing that the two were still fighting fiercely, it was inconvenient to ask, so he had to watch from the sidelines.

Liu Yuanqing attacked extremely fiercely, and the leader only resisted and did not fight back. Liu Yuanqing slashed down from the top with a sword, and the side of the other sword slashed straight at the leader's waist, the leader held the first sword with a knife, retreated and dodged the other sword, and then tilted the knife downward, unloaded the sword power, and swung the knife straight to cut Liu Yuanqing in front of the door. Liu Yuanqing's left hand horizontal sword blocked, his right hand slashed straight towards the leader's head, the leader forced, the knife was against the sword on Liu Yuanqing's chest, the leader bowed his head to avoid a sword, and then continued to rush forward, Liu Yuanqing had to retreat, four steps back, Liu Yuanqing threw away the long sword in his right hand, and slapped it towards the leader with one palm, the leader greeted with his left palm, and the palms intersected, the leader was shocked back a step, and Liu Yuanqing also closed his sword and stopped.

The leader said: "It is worthy of being the head of the Taishan faction, and I have been taught in the next." Liu Yuanqing said coldly: "For the sake of a book, you have harmed other people's families, seeing that you are not very old like this, but your heart is so vicious." The leader said: "In this troubled world, if you don't harm others, I'm afraid you will be harmed by others." If I don't take the initiative, I will only suffer in the future. Liu Yuanqing sneered and was silent. The leader said: "Since Master Liu is going to save Chen Dao today, then I will let him go, but Master Liu, let me tell you, you can save him for a day, but you can't save a lifetime." With that, he turned around and left.

When the two were fighting fiercely, there were already countless officers and soldiers rushing here, and Jiang Lou led the team and shouted: "Find the son, hurry!" Chen Zhi had nothing to do about the solution, so he had to pick up Chu Zhao and leave first, and saw Tai Wuyun running out halfway, and quickly put Chu Zhao on the horse, and rode up himself, and pulled out a cloth on the horse, tied Chu Zhao behind his back, and rode away.

Liu Yuanqing saw countless officers and soldiers rushing here with torches in their hands, and hurried to find Chen Dao.

Jiang Lou, Liu Bin, Hu Zheng and Deng Ju arrived with troops, only to see Chen Renzhe lying on the ground, surrounded by blood, and he had already lost his breath. Liu Bin and the other three were also anxious on the side, and Jiang Lou shouted loudly: "Who is it? Who did it?"

"Chen arrived!" Hearing someone speak, several people looked up, but it was the leader who went and returned.

"Chen, who is that?" Hu Zheng was a little puzzled.

"Chen Zhi is the nephew of the county order, and the county order wants you to find it. He thought you were going to harm them, so he tricked him into the wilderness and killed him with a knife, and then when he saw you coming, he threw away his body and ran away. Jiang Lou gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Dao! I must break your body into ten thousand pieces!"

At this time, Chen Li led his troops to arrive, but he only saw the corpse of his only son, and immediately fainted, and everyone hurriedly supported him. The leader turned to leave, a smile on his lips.

Chen De and the others were all dispersed by the sergeants, and it took a long time to get back together, but Chen Zhi and Chu Zhao were missing, Chu Cheng said angrily: "Look at it, what have you done? If my daughter has any three strengths and two shortcomings, I want you to look good!" Everyone saw that he was rescued by everyone but did not feel the slightest gratitude, but they all understood that he loved his daughter, and they did not pursue it. Chen Dedao: "Don't worry, they have Tai dark clouds, they must have run far away, let's hurry up and find it elsewhere." The crowd hurried to look around.

Chen Zhi and Chu Zhao rode out of the distance, and there were black-clothed people riding horses behind them to chase after them, Chen Zhi did not dare to slack off, and the horses were whipped, and the Tai Wuyun ran more and more happily, and ran directly to the north gate, only to see the city gate wide open, but there were merchants entering the city to trade. Chen Zhi saw that there was no sound of horses' hooves behind him, but he was worried that he would soon be overtaken, and when he saw that there was no way out, he rushed towards the city gate with a war horse.

The soldiers guarding the gate saw that someone was rushing in the city, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, Tai Wuyun suddenly accelerated, knocked down the two people and rushed out of the city directly, the cavalry in the city chased after him, Chen Zhi couldn't care a lot, and no matter what direction the horse hit and left, the soldiers behind him shouted: "Hurry up and stop, otherwise the arrows will be released!" Chen Zhi ignored it completely, and shot a few arrows behind him, but Tai Wuyun was very fast, and the strength of the bow and arrow chased out for a while had been lost on the ground, Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, Tai Wuyun screamed happily, and accelerated to run.

Tai Wuyun went straight out for dozens of miles, and when it was dawn, Chen Zhi stopped, only to see that there were mountains and forests everywhere, Chu Zhao was still standing upright, Chen Zhi let Tai Wuyun go to eat grass by himself, helped Chu Zhao sit down, and sighed: "I shouldn't have run out yesterday, we don't know where this is." Seeing Chu Zhao squeezing his eyebrows at him, his eyes were full of anxiety, and he said strangely: "What's the matter? Is there anything wrong here?" Chu Zhao had a bitter face, but he couldn't speak, and Chen Zhi didn't know what it meant, and said: "Is it dangerous here? Could it be that there are some fierce birds and beasts?" After speaking, he pulled out his sword and looked around vigilantly. But there was no movement around, only Tai Wuyun grazing quietly beside him.

Suddenly, only to hear a sound of footsteps, Chen Zhi became vigilant, only to see a middle-aged man carrying a bundle of firewood coming, Chen Zhi stood up with a sword. The middle-aged man saw him and asked, "Hey, boy, who are you, what are you doing with a sword?" Chen Zhi said: "We are fleeing, we have no malice." Only then did the middle-aged man see Chu Zhao sitting on the ground, and said, "Yo, what's the matter with this female doll? Chen Zhi blushed and said, "She······ She was pointed, and I won't solve it, so that's it. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You said it earlier, I'll come." "Step forward. Chen Zhi stopped him and said, "What do you want to do?" The middle-aged man said: "What are you doing? Chen Zhi said: "You ······ Do you really will?" the middle-aged man said impatiently: "I said yes, and naturally will." After that, he stepped forward, and with a point, Chu Zhao was excited, and then he could move, and said with a smile: "Old uncle, thank you." ”

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "No need, you two better get out of here quickly." Chen Zhi was puzzled and said, "Why?" Chu Zhao said: "Uncle Zhi, I was looking at you just now, you don't know, this place is called Dragon Scale Mountain, but there are thousands of thieves in Changshan's famous thief's nest." ”

Chen Zhi was taken aback and said, "Then we have to leave quickly." "Then he went to pull the dark clouds. Chu Zhao said: "I'm not busy, I haven't seen a bandit when I'm so old, it's not too late to see you today." Chen Zhi said: "Oh, Xiao Zhao, let's go back, otherwise my uncle and your father should be worried." ”

The middle-aged man said: "The female doll is still a little bold, what are your two names, where did you come from?"

Chu Zhaoxin said: "This senior pretends to be a woodcutter on the surface, but since he can solve the acupuncture, he doesn't seem to be afraid of thieves, he may be a senior master, so we are really not in a hurry to leave." Thinking of this, Chu Zhao smiled and said: "Old uncle, my name is Chu Zhao, his name is Chen Zhi, and the word Uncle Zhi, we were chased and killed in Yuanshi County, and we were cornered, so we fled here." Chen Zhi was very surprised, and just wanted to ask, Chu Zhao hurriedly glanced at him, and he didn't speak.

The middle-aged man said: "Okay, since you are desperate, you are not in a hurry to leave." By the way, do you want to see the bandits? If you want to, come with me. After saying that, he threw away the bundle of firewood and turned around and left, Chen Zhi and Chu Zhao hurriedly followed.

The three of them walked to a slope, and the middle-aged man said: "These bandits will ambush here every day, specifically attacking those who transport goods, because this is a necessary place to transport goods, so they have a harvest every day." Chen Zhi said: "Ah, aren't those who were robbed so miserable?" The middle-aged man said: "It's miserable, but these thieves are still a little affectionate, they won't rob them all, and they will keep some for them." Chen Zhi said: "Keeping some? things that are not theirs in the first place, are they embarrassed to keep some pretendedly? ”

Chu Zhao said with a smile: "Okay, Uncle Zhi, in this troubled world, this is unavoidable. The middle-aged man said: "This girl doll is quite sensible, boy, remember, in this era, human nature will be stimulated, there are many bad people, and there are few good people." If you are soft-hearted, I'm afraid that you will be the next unlucky, so if you want to blame, blame this era. ”

Chen Zhi wanted to say something more, but the middle-aged man suddenly said, "Silence, someone is coming." The three of them hurriedly looked down.

I saw a group of people, about thirty or forty people, carrying a cart of goods slowly. The leader saw a young man carrying a nine-ring sword, and behind him a woman in a red robe, about eighteen or nineteen years old, holding a flat-stemmed sword in her hand. The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Alas, the young man leads the team, and it is another team that has not inquired about the news, and it is unlucky again." ”

I saw that the convoy was more than halfway away, and suddenly there was a bang, and hundreds of bandits rushed out to surround the convoy. The leader, a one-eyed dragon, holding a large knife in his hand, said loudly: "I drove this road, you merchants, quickly leave the convoy, and we can let you go." ”

Chen Zhi said in a low voice: "Uncle, didn't you say that they would keep some of it? How do you say that they want to keep it all?" The middle-aged man sighed and said, "You just keep your voice and look at it." ”

The whole convoy was very frightened when he saw such a battle, and the young man said angrily: "Leave the convoy behind, wishful thinking, we are the members of the Tianheng Gang, do you dare to rob us, are you not afraid of death?" The one-eyed dragon was quiet for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement around, he said happily: "Mu Kang's old man didn't come!" and said to the young man: "You kid doesn't seem to know the power of my Dragon Scale Mountain, tell you, don't say anything about Tianheng Gang, even if Tianwang Laozi passes from me, he has to leave the goods." Give it to me, brothers!" and the bandits swarmed up, and the men and horses of the convoy drew their swords to meet them. In the convoy, only the leading young man and the girl in red were okay in martial arts, and the others couldn't stop the bandits at all, and they were all defeated after a while, leaving the young man and the girl in red surrounded by the bandits.

Chu Zhao asked, "What should I do?" Chen Zhi said, "Save them!" and he was about to get up. The middle-aged man hurriedly held him down and asked, "Why are you going to die?" Chen Zhi said: "You can't just watch them be killed, right?" The middle-aged man was speechless for a while, and said: "Boy, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Do you have very strong skills? What is the use of you going down?" Chen Zhi didn't know how to answer.

The middle-aged man said: "That's it, don't go to this troubled water, hurry up, you go quickly." But neither of them wanted to leave, and the middle-aged man said: "Oh, it's bloody for a while, are you sure you want to watch it?" Chu Zhao heard the blood, and hurriedly said: "Then let's go." But Chen Zhi grabbed Chu Zhao and said, "Don't go." ”

At the bottom of the slope, the young man was already out of strength, and was slashed in the right arm by the one-eyed dragon, and the bandits swarmed him up and captured him alive. The woman in red hurriedly said: "Brother Liang!" was about to come to the rescue, the one-eyed dragon raised his knife to block the front, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are so pretty, why don't you go back with me to be Mrs. Zhai." "Laugh out loud. The woman in red was furious, swung her sword and slashed it, the one-eyed dragon blocked it with a horizontal sword, and everyone surrounded her, the woman in red shook her long sword and hacked the first two to death, and the others saw it and retreated one after another. The one-eyed dragon said angrily, "What are you afraid of, get on it, catch her!" and the crowd rushed forward again.

Chen Zhi said: "No, I have to save her." The middle-aged man said helplessly: "How can you ······?" As soon as the words came out, Chen Zhi drew his sword and jumped down. Chu Zhao also wanted to follow, but the middle-aged man hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Stop, you stay here, I'll go." ”

Chu Zhao was secretly happy in his heart, she could have grabbed Chen Dao, but he wanted to see the true face of this woodcutter, so he didn't stop Chen Dao. The middle-aged man struggled to climb up, jumped, and rolled down the slope, looking extremely embarrassed, Chu Zhao looked at his movements, how could he look like a master, and couldn't help but worry again.

When the thieves saw a teenager suddenly jump out, they were all stunned. Without waiting for them to react, Chen Zhi swung his sword and cut down several people, shouting, "Girl, let's go!" The one-eyed dragon was the first to come back to his senses and shouted, "Another unfortunate one, brothers! Chen Zhi was slightly stronger than the young man, but he couldn't help but be besieged by everyone, and he was surrounded in a corner with the woman in red. The one-eyed dragon rapist smiled: "Come on, come on, the man will be a slave, and the woman will be a wife, very good." ”

Suddenly, only a cough was heard, and the middle-aged man was already standing behind everyone.

The one-eyed dragon looked back, his face changed, and he said angrily: "Mu Kang Lao'er, I also said why didn't you come, why? Do you want to harm my good deeds?" Mu Kang said: "Du Shuai, you bastard, I told you, leave a line in everything, don't kill people, you never listen, today you want to rob all people, and arrest people as slaves and wives, aren't you challenging my bottom line?"

Du Shuai said: "You old man is too annoying, brothers, ignore him and arrest people first." Mu Kang glared at him and said, "Du Shuai, are you really underbeaten? Did you forget after the last fight?" Du Shuai didn't care at all, and said: "Leave him alone, arrest someone quickly!"

Mu Kang was furious, kicked his feet, and his short and fat body flew out in an instant, falling to Chen Zhi and the woman in red, and all the thieves didn't dare to step forward when they saw this. Du Shuai scolded: "What are you afraid of? Give it to me!"

Mu Kang didn't move his hand, he lifted Chen Dao with one hand and the woman in red with the other, and he started with light skills, just one breath, and he was already on the slope. Mu Kang flashed again, and he disappeared, leaving his voice still floating in the air: "Du Shuai, hurry up and release these people, don't rob a lot, if you dare to kill you, I will wash your cottage in blood!"

Chu Zhao saw that Mu Kang had already gone back, admired it in his heart, and also sneaked back.

Mu Kang ran back to his place, threw Chen Zhi and the woman in red on the ground, and scolded: "You stinky boy, don't worry, just go down to the bad thing." Chen Zhi got up in a daze and said, "Uncle, I didn't expect you to have a stunt, this time I was reckless, I'm really sorry." Mu Kang waved his hand, looked at the other woman, and asked, "Girl, I heard that young man say that you are from the Tianheng Gang, so what is your name?"

The woman in red wiped her tears and said, "My name is Ma Yibing, my father was killed since I was a child, I lived with my Uncle Lu, and then Uncle Lu took me to the Tianheng Gang, and together with my senior brother Zhao Zeliang, I was responsible for escorting the goods for others." Mu Kang sighed and said, "It's not easy for everyone. Ma Yibing asked again: "Senior, my senior brother should be fine, right?" Mu Kang shook his head and said, "Although life is worry-free, there must be no hardship." Ma Yibing knelt down and said, "Senior, I implore you to save my senior brother and other brothers." ”

Mu Kang sighed and said, "Miss Ma, you only know one thing, you don't know the other, if I can really do it, I won't let this thief's den exist at all." Chen Zhi and Ma Yibing didn't know what they meant, Ma Yibing asked, "What does the predecessor mean ······?"

Mu Kang said: "I have been deceived by others, and I have killed many good people by mistake, and since then I have vowed to never hurt people with martial arts again, so when I face these bandits, I just smash things to scare people, and I have not really hurt them." ”

Chen Zhi was puzzled and said: "Senior, I don't understand, why don't you use martial arts anymore if you kill the wrong person? Mu Kang said: "At first, I didn't think of it, but now it's too late to think about it, in short, I can't personally go to the thief's den to save people." ”

Ma Yibing had nothing to do, and said, "I must not give up on my senior brother and other brothers. "Get up and go to the rescue. Chu Zhao hurriedly stopped and said, "Sister Ma, don't worry, I believe that Senior Mu has his own way to save people." With that, she smiled at Mukan. Mu Kang smiled: "Xiao Zhao is still quite smart, yes, although I can't save people in person, but I am more than enough to call people." Ma Yibing said: "But it's too late to call someone?" Mu Kang said: "Don't worry, they heard my intimidation, and they definitely didn't dare to kill them, but being a slave is inevitable, they are all men, and these hardships should be endured." ”

Chen Zhi asked, "Senior, who are you going to call?" Mu Kang said, "I'm not going." Chen Zhiqi said: "If you don't go, then who will go?" Mu Kang pointed at the three of them and said, "Isn't there still you?" Naturally, I told you who to call, and you went and called him. Chen Zhi looked at Ma Yibing, who had an anxious face, and said, "Okay, I'll ride Tai Wuyun, and I will definitely be able to call him as soon as possible." ”

Chu Zhao glanced at Chen Zhi unhappily and said, "Senior Mu, who are we going to call?" Mu Kang sat on the ground, motioned for the three of them to sit down as well, and asked, "Have you heard of the name 'Divine Hammer Invincible'?" Chu Zhao and Ma Yibing both nodded, while Chen Zhi was at a loss. Mu Kang patted Chen Zhi's head and said, "You kid, if you come out to explore the rivers and lakes and don't study the pattern of the rivers and lakes, you will definitely suffer a big loss if you do this." Chu Zhao hurriedly said, "It's okay Senior Mu, I'll tell him again." ”

Mu Kang said: "From now on, the strongest gang in the world is the Divine Hammer Gang. I have a very good relationship with Zhao Zhen, the leader of the Hammer Gang, you can take my token to the Hammer Gang to find someone to help. ”

Chu Zhao said: "But senior, the headquarters of the Divine Hammer Gang is far away from here······ Mu Kang said with a smile: "The Divine Hammer Gang is all over the world, as long as they see me, the guest token, they will naturally obey your orders, the Divine Hammer Gang has four halls, and any random person can take this thief's den, rest assured, they are all very talkative." ”

Chen Zhi said, "Okay, let's go." "Get up and go. Mu Kang also stood up and said, "What are you anxious about? Come with me, I have something to teach you." He took Chen Zhi far away. Chen Zhi didn't know why, and asked, "Senior, what do you want to teach me?" Mu Kang said: "Your kid's skills are not as good as that girl's, and your brain is not very good, so I will teach you a kung fu to avoid bad things for you." Chen Zhi hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can I learn your kung fu?" Mu Kang said angrily: "All the people in the world, if you know that you can learn my kung fu, you must be very happy, you are good, you don't want to learn yet? Hurry up and come over to me, I will only teach you for three days, and how much you can learn depends on your creation." ”

Chen Zhi knew that he had good intentions, so it was inconvenient to refuse, but he still said: "Senior, if you want to teach me kung fu, then I can only worship you as a teacher." "Kneel down. Mu Kang hurriedly grabbed him and said, "I just want to keep you safe, not for you to teach me martial arts, whether you can be my apprentice or not, it remains to be seen." You get up for me, hurry up and keep up. Chen got up and followed.

Seeing that there was no one around, Mu Kang said: "I, Mu Kang, have three ways to civilize in this river and lake, one is internal strength - lion brute skill, the second is external strength - melting sky fist, and the third is light power - breaking the sky and floating clouds." Today I will teach you this cloud-breaker, so that even if you don't have your Maxima, no one else will be able to catch up with you. Chen Zhixin said: "In this way, the leader will not be able to catch up, which is really good." "Hurry up and thank you.

Mu Kang said first: "Remember, because you are not my apprentice, you are not allowed to teach my martial arts to others, understand? Chen Zhi nodded. Mu Kang said: "Okay, let's ask a question first: Which word do you think is the focus of the four words of breaking the sky and floating clouds?" Chen Zhi thought for a while and said: "Breaking the sky and floating clouds is light work, so the focus should be related to light work." Mu Kang nodded and said, "The analysis is very correct. Chen Zhi said again: "So it should be the word 'floating', right?" Mu Kang smiled: "Yes, the kid is actually not stupid at all, much better than my eldest apprentice." He added: "Boy, I will pass on to you the key to breaking through the clouds now, you must keep it in mind, understand?" Chen Zhi nodded.

Chu Zhao and Ma Yibing sat bored, Chu Zhao was very dissatisfied with Chen Zhi's concern for Ma Yibing just now, so he said to Ma Yibing: "Sister Ma, what is the relationship between that Senior Brother Zhao Zeliang and you? Chu Zhao smiled and said, "Sister, don't pretend, I heard you call him 'Brother Liang' just now, why do you call him Senior Brother Zhao again?"

Ma Yibing blushed and said, "Okay, I admit that we do have an unusual relationship. But ······" Chu Zhao happily interrupted: "Okay, sister, I know it, I will keep it secret for you." Ma Yibing didn't continue to argue, but secretly said in his heart: "But he is not a person who can be entrusted with his life." ’’

On the other side, Mu Kang asked, "Boy, are you familiar with it?" Chen Zhi chattered for more than half an hour, and finally nodded: "Familiar with memorization." Mu Kang said: "Okay, you are optimistic about my movements." Then he flew up with light skills, and Chen Zhi watched his actions intently, secretly remembering it in his heart. Mu Kang spun around a few times and landed on the ground, saying, "Okay, you can try it." ”

Chu Zhao and Ma Yibing waited for a few more hours before Mu Kang and Chen came back, Ma Yibing hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Senior, how is it? Can you go?" Mu Kang said without hurry: "Miss Ma, you can rest assured, you will leave in three days, and the safety of your people will be on me." Now let this kid practice my light skills to prevent you from having too many accidents outside, and if you have an accident, then those people are really not saved. Chu Zhao also stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Sister Ma, since Senior Mu has said it, there must be a reason for him." Although Ma Yibing was anxious, he still nodded.

Mu Kang said: "It's not early, come back to my house with me first, I still have to practice with this kid." ”

When the four of them arrived at the wooden house where Mu Kang lived, Chu Zhao smiled and said, "Senior, your house is quite similar to my house, just as shabby." Chen Zhi was worried that Mu Kang would be angry, so he hurriedly said: "Senior, don't pay attention to her, she will talk nonsense." Mu Kang smiled: "The girl is fast enough, but at this time, where to live and how to live doesn't seem to be what we are pursuing." ”

When the four of them entered the house, Mu Kang pointed to the food that had not yet been cooked, looked at Chu Zhao and Ma Yibing, and asked, "What are we eating?" Chu Zhao hurriedly said: "Let's come, my family's meals have always been prepared by me." Ma Yibing also said: "Yes, sister, I'll help you." ”

Seeing that the two of them were starting to work, Mu Kang took Chen Zhi out again and said, "Boy, there is not much time, you can practice again." Chen Zhi thought about the key to jumping again.

After a while, Chu Zhao walked out, and when he saw that Chen Zhi had made this floating cloud in the sky, he said happily: "Okay, Brother Shu Zhi has even practiced this superior light skill." Mu Kang turned around and said, "I have to say, this kid's talent is not as bad as it seems, and his brain is actually not stupid." He said again: "Girl, is the meal ready?" Chu Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, okay, come on." ”

After three days, Chen Zhi woke up from his dream, walked out of the house, and saw Mu Kang walking over with two horses that had been snatched from the bandits. Chen Zhi said: "Senior, are we about to set off?" Mu Kang said: "I went to see it today, these thieves don't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, but after a long time, it can't be guaranteed, so you go quickly." I'm going to deal with them these days. I heard yesterday that some of the Hammer Gang are gathering in the Yingchuan area, so you just have to go all the way south to Yingchuan and look around. But remember: safety first. Chen Zhi nodded, called Chu Zhao and Ma Yibing, and the three of them prepared to leave.

Chen Zhi got on a horse bought by Mu Kang and said to Chu Zhao: "Xiao Zhao, you ride Tai Wuyun." Chu Zhao said: "Why can't we ride the same horse?" Chen Zhi said: "The speed of the two of us riding the same horse is too slow, and we are in a hurry now." Ma Yibing also said: "Yes, sister, let's rush to Yingchuan as soon as possible." Chu Zhao nodded, the three of them got on the horse, and when they arrived with Mu Kang, they rode away.

After walking for a few days, the three arrived at Zhiyang Zhai, Yingchuan County. Chen Zhi took out the token given by Mu Kang, only to see that the token was pure black, but it was made of sterling silver, and the word "Divine Hammer" was engraved with blue, and the pattern of four golden hammers was engraved under the word "Divine Hammer". Chen Zhi said: "This Yangzhai City is so big, how can we find people?" Ma Yibing said: "Anyway, there are so many people, and one person can always ask for a result." Chu Zhao smiled: "Sister, you can't do this." The Hammers have only been meeting for a few days, and if we keep looking for them, they'll be gone. I see, let's find an inn to stay in, and then go around the city to see where there are many people, and then pick a place to find it. Chen Zhi and Ma Yibing listened and agreed.

The three of them found an inn to stay in, and each set off to survey the whole county. Chen Zhi ran to the east of the city, and saw the people coming and going, which was very similar to Pingyu City, and couldn't help but recall the life of those years. But when he thought of his current situation, he strengthened his heart again, and said in his heart: "Now I am no longer the son of the Chen family back then, it is better to be the current self." ”

ran out of a section, Chen Zhi saw a lantern in front of him, for some reason. Chen Zhi stopped his horse and got off the horse to inquire, it turned out that the Sima family, a big local family, had set up a banquet and invited many people from the rivers and lakes, and at the same time, their family had a happy event, so it was prosperous. Chen Zhi didn't care about this, and left.

After galloping for a few miles, I saw a few people arguing on the side of the road. Chen Zhi stopped his horse to watch, only to see a man from a blacksmith shop on one side, and three people on the other side, followed by several retinues. Of the three, the leader was about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, tall and strong, with a thicker beard, and was arguing with his fellows. The other two, one twenty-five or six years old and one about twenty years old, stood behind the man. The two sides were arguing, and the leader slapped the blacksmith guy away and smashed it on the table behind him, attracting dozens of onlookers.

Ignoring the crowd that had gathered around, the three men were about to leave. When Chen Zhi saw it, he quickly dismounted and stopped the man in the lead, and said, "Why are you beating people for no reason?" The man glanced at him and sneered: "Ye is willing, can you manage it?" pushed Chen Zhi away, and then was about to leave. Chen Zhi was furious, and just about to make a palm, the twenty-five or sixteen-year-old young man suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Zhi's left arm, and then slapped Chen Zhi on the shoulder, Chen Zhi was in great pain, and fell heavily backwards. I only heard the young man sneer: "If you don't have the ability, you will be less reckless, and my senior brother will not show mercy to you." With that, he walked away with a mocking expression. Finally, the young man of about twenty years old walked by, glanced at Chen Zhi with pity, and reminded him with his eyes not to go up again, so he also walked out. Although there were many onlookers, no one dared to stop them.

Chen Zhi struggled to get up, he didn't understand the meaning of the eyes of the young man about twenty years old just now, and wanted to chase it, but after thinking about it, he said in his heart: "I'm definitely not their opponent, forget it, let's go and see how that guy is." Thinking of this, he turned to help the fellow. The guy had been picked up by a few friends, spat blood and drank water, and was sitting and resting. Chen Zhi stepped forward and asked, "Little brother, are you okay?" The guy said, "It's okay, thank you brother for your concern." Chen Zhi asked, "Why did they beat you?" The guy sighed: "They are just some martial arts bullies, relying on their high martial arts, they bully people everywhere." You see, they asked me to give them a sword, and I did it, but they said that the quality was too poor, no, how could there be such a thing? Of course I had to quarrel with them. He raised a freshly wounded sword.

Chen Zhi said: "Then I will buy this sword, so as not to waste your hard work." The guy shook his head and said, "Forget it, brother, I understand your intentions, there is no need to waste money for those people." Chen Zhi smiled: "No, I just lack a sword, this sword is exactly what I need." The man had no choice but to say, "Well, since my brother is in need, I'll sell it to you." ”

Chen Zhi took the new sword, got back on the horse, and said in his heart: "These three people may be the objects of the Sima family's banquet, I will go over to take a look, and then it is not too late to investigate." Thinking of this, they rode in the opposite direction.

Slowly walked out a few miles, and saw that the three people had already entered Sima's mansion, and said in his heart: "As expected, this Sima family is obviously not at ease when it invites such people from the rivers and lakes." Thinking of this, I suddenly saw Chu Zhao riding Tai Wuyun and rushed over. Chen Zhiqi said: "Xiao Zhao, why did you come here too?" Chu Zhao said: "I met a group of strange people, and I thought they must have a secret on them, so I followed them all the way." Chen Zhi smiled: "Coincidentally, I am too, but I am with three bad guys." He told Chu Zhao what he had just done. Chu Zhao said: "It seems that they are plotting in the name of a happy event, we can't let them succeed, and we will go to this mansion to explore at night." Chen Zhi nodded.

The two returned to the inn, and when they reached the scheduled time, they didn't see Ma Yibing come back, Chen Zhi said: "Miss Ma can't have an accident, right?" Chu Zhao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, maybe it's too late." After another half an hour, Chen Zhi said impatiently: "I haven't come back yet, something must have happened, Xiao Zhao, let's go and find out." Chu Zhao said, "Okay, let's go to the south of the city to have a look." ”

As soon as the two walked out of the inn, they saw Ma Yibing running back on a horse, and when Ma Yibing saw the two, he said eagerly: "I found the people of the Divine Hammer Gang, I followed them all the way, and I saw them enter the Sima Mansion." ”
