Chapter 86 Hindsight
Sure enough, after He Yuelan took out her sword towards the place where Fang Xiaodao was standing, Xin Zhou immediately became in a hurry. It turned out that the sword was taken out in the direction of Fang Xiaodao's station, which happened to be the place of Xin Zhou's negligence. A swordsman like Xin Zhou, even if there is a flaw in his swordsmanship, it is fleeting. Normally, if you wait to see it and then guide He Yuelan, it will be too late. In fact, this flaw was seen by Fang Xiaodao from the first time they competed, so he pointed out the direction in advance.
Under the watchful eyes of a group of masters, no matter how strong Xin Zhou's swordsmanship is, it will become full of loopholes. Even if it wasn't a loophole, his weakness being pointed out would be a disaster in a passive situation.
Xin Zhou suffered a loss and quickly reversed the decline. But at this moment, Sun Yan came out and patted his abdomen and said, "Be careful!"
Fang Xiaodao looked at it and thought that after all, it was Sun Yan who loved him more. Although it looked funny for him to slap his abdomen, He Yuelan immediately stabbed the other party in the abdomen with a sword.
Everyone looks at the problem differently, so when they see Xin Zhou's swordsmanship, they see different weaknesses. But with so many masters working together, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be undefeated if he is twice as powerful as Xin Zhou.
In the end, everyone formed a circle. It can be seen that Xin Zhou's swordsmanship is indeed powerful, if he were replaced by someone else, I am afraid that he would have been defeated long ago. By now, Xin Zhou's swordsmanship had already been finished, so he could only start all over again. And his flaws are becoming more and more in the eyes of everyone.
Everyone has already pointed out, and now if you point again, it's not good to directly change places for guidance. Therefore, every time, the person standing behind Xin Zhou pointed out the flaws, and then He Yuelan took action. A group of people together is actually just deceiving one person. Most people don't want to do this kind of self-deception, but considering the reputation of the Flower Palace and the rampant sword house, everyone is willing to make an exception.
So, the older Xin Zhou gets, the more strange he becomes, how he can't even beat a little girl. Compared with Gong Nanyan, he felt that this little girl seemed to be more difficult to deal with, thinking that his weaknesses were always seen through by the other party. So, he glanced at the people around him with great meaning, and was a little suspicious.
Miao Xi is the master after all, so he is embarrassed to join this ranks. As for Ye Cibei, he had been watching from the sidelines, and he really looked down on Fang Xiaodao's bad idea.
Everyone's hearts were bright, knowing that Xin Zhou was already suspicious, and they knew that it was time to relax for a while. But Xin Zhou was ruthless, and his sword was a little ruthless, and everyone was anxious again.
At this moment, Sun Yan was about to point out Xin Zhou's flaws, but was stopped by Fang Xiaodao shaking his head. Fang Xiaodao smiled at everyone, indicating that he had other plans.
Everyone stopped pointing, after all, even if Xin Zhou was ruthless, so many masters could stop him at any time. What's more, Xin Zhou has won He Yuelan for so long, if he is embarrassed to brag everywhere, it is better to let him brag enough, anyway, He Yuelan will definitely not be ashamed.
He Yuelan was quite anxious, because suddenly there was no one to guide her. She had to fight by herself, but fortunately, she had seen all the other party's moves, and she also remembered a lot of his flaws.
Xin Zhou became more and more ruthless the older he became, and it could be seen that he had already understood that he would definitely be embarrassed today. Unconsciously, he didn't care about anything that was only a sword, and he used his skills several times stronger than He Yuelan to make a sword.
Seeing that He Yuelan immediately had no strength to support her, Fang Xiaodao made a color to Sun Yan.
Suddenly, Sun Yan's breath was abrupt, and he held the hilt of the long sword in his hand, leaving countless shadows in the air. When he saw him, Sun Yan was already standing in front of Xin Zhou. The two long swords collided, and Xin Zhou let out a muffled sigh, retreated a dozen steps back, and then fell to the ground anyway.
Xin Zhou was about to speak, but Sun Yan said sharply: "Compared with swords, you are better than swords, you bully a woman, but it is a little too shameless." ”
Fang Xiaodao said at the right time: "It's only a sword, why do you win with internal strength? This is a bit too much, even if you don't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, then you have to talk about the rules!"
After Xin Zhou looked at everyone, he sighed helplessly: "Okay, I admit it." ”
As Fang Xiaodao said, He Yuelan is undefeated and wins. Xin Zhou and He Yuelan are not opponents at the same level in the martial arts at all, and even if he wins, it will not be a glorious thing.
Fa Yuan said: "Donor, remember that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people!"
Xin Zhou took the sword and said: "I have been taught, I will leave!"
After speaking, he resolutely left, and everyone could see his grief and indignation.
Waiting for Xin Zhou to walk away, Gong Nanyan said to everyone: "Thank you for doing such a thing against your will for the sake of the face of my Flower Palace." ”
Everyone was polite, but they all knew very well that if they didn't do it today, Gong Nanyan would only be afraid of fighting with Xin Zhou. Even if you do something against your will, if you can make something good, it is still very worthwhile.
When Fang Xiaodao walked past Ye Cibei's side, Ye Cibei said: "What's the point, how simple it is to kill directly." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "If killing people can solve all the troubles, you will be in no trouble for a long time." ”
Ye Cibei was speechless when he said one sentence, he felt that it was difficult for so many people to step down today. Miao Xi coughed and said, "Killing people is indeed not a good law!"
Since Miao Xi said so, Ye Cibei had no way to care. It's just that the other party's knife snorted coldly, and then turned around and walked in.
Miao Qingping suddenly ran out and shouted, "Fang Xiaodao, that friend of yours was killed." ”
Fang Xiaodao knew that there was only one friend of his whom Miao Qingping didn't know. Raising his legs, Fang Xiaodao immediately rushed in.
Fang Xiaodao looked at Zhang Gong, who was dying, pressed his back, and slowly lost some internal force into it. At this time, Fa Yuan walked in, watched this scene and said: "Young man and slow, I can save people better than you." ”
Fang Xiaodao felt that it made sense, so he put down Zhang Gong and let Fa Yuan come to the rescue.
Fa Yuan is different from the self-cultivation monks in the monastery, he always likes to travel. From treating injuries from knives, guns and sticks to big and small winds and colds, he is an expert. To be a compassionate monk, he has a certain ambition to help the world.
After a while, Fa Yuan stopped, touched Zhang Gong's pulse and sighed: "If Miss Miao finds out a little later, even the immortals will not be able to save her." This donor is really a hard-working person, how can the old wounds not heal, and now he is worried about his life. ”
Fang Xiaodao said helplessly: "If the master dares to listen to my story, you will find that this guy's life is not only bitter, but also bitter." After speaking, he looked at the wound on Zhang Gong's chest, his expression changed slightly, and he pulled his clothes.
Then, Fang Xiaodao stood up and said, "Everyone, he shouldn't be able to die, I'll just wrap his wounds." ”
Fa Yuan said: "Yes, it's enough for me and Fang Shaoxia here." But it's really puzzling who dares to commit murder here!"
Miao Xi was a little angry, after retiring for so many years, he could be regarded as having cultivated a good self-cultivation. But he didn't expect this kind of thing to be done in his family, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
Everyone left while discussing, and in the end, only Miao Qingping and Su Ruoyao were left. Fang Xiaodao said: "Sun Yan, give me the gold sore medicine." ”
After taking the gold sore medicine, Fang Xiaodao said: "I took off his clothes and bandaged, are you two waiting to see!"
Miao Qingping let out a "phew" and walked out with Su Ruoyao.
After a long silence, Fa Yuan said, "You inadvertently said that you wanted to tell me a story, but you seem to want to tell it to me!"
Fang Xiaodao said: "It seems that if you are older, there is no one here who is your opponent." So, I guess you should know more than anyone else. ”
Fa Yuan smiled: "Just say, I really know a lot." ”
Fang Xiaodao pulled the clothes off Zhang Gong's chest and said, "Look, what is this?"
The first time Fa Yuan saw the golden crow, his eyes immediately widened, and he was silent for a long time.
Fang Xiaodao wrapped the wound and said, "Very clumsy swordsmanship." ”
Fa Yuan said: "Speaking of which, isn't he a disciple of Wu Boliang in Yuelongtan?"
Fang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "You asked him himself, and he couldn't give a clear answer. Because when he arrived at Yuelongtan, he was only a child under ten years old and had no martial arts. Later, the Demon Gate experienced a great chaos, and no one paid attention to him at all. Therefore, he didn't do anything for the Demon Gate, and I'm afraid he didn't know which side he was on. ”
Fa Yuan said: "This is really a miracle, and the old man is the only one he has seen in this life!"
Fang Xiaodao said: "He wants to avenge his junior brother and sister, but it is ridiculous that he was also the enemy of Yuelongtan." ”
Fa Yuan nodded and said, "Then what do you think will be the murderer?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "If this murderer is from outside, I'm afraid it's really hard for us to find it." But looking at this clumsy sword, you know that no one will premeditate murder and use a weapon that is not in hand, unless he wants to hide his identity. ”
Fa Yuan said: "One more thing, seeing that there is no trace of a fight here, it must have been done by someone Zhang Gong knew or was familiar with." ”
Fang Xiaodao nodded and said, "But the current situation is that there should only be people from the Miao family at home at that time. Don't you see, Senior Miao's face is very ugly. Apparently he already knew that we would be suspicious of the Miao family. ”
Fa Yuan said: "As long as we are open and honest, with Miao Daxia's character, there will be no mustard." ”
Fang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "Except for those I don't know, I won't doubt any of the four major disciples of the Miao family." When they tried to kill me, they were able to do it in the open, and I don't believe they would do such a thing. But the Miao family, it seems that there are more than us guests and hosts at this moment!"
Fa Yuan's eyes lit up and said, "You mean ......." ”
Fang Xiaodao interrupted him and said, "It's just a guess, I have to go to Miao Daxia to verify one thing." I found out that I was a real hindsight and should have been fine. He looked annoyed, but Fa Yuan didn't know why it was like that.
After discussion, they had no clue, and after dinner in the evening, they had to go back to sleep. Fang Xiaodao left Zhang Gong's room and found Miao Xi.
Miao Xi walked in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, raised his head and looked at the sky and said, "I know, there will definitely be someone who can't help it." But I didn't expect it to be you Fang Shaoxia, I thought you knew me. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "I only have respect for Miao Daxia, and I have never had any doubts. ”
Miao Xi said, "Then are you suspicious of my disciples?"
Fang Xiaodao said with a smile: "Miao Daxia has many disciples, but there are only four disciples in the room, and I only know four of them. I don't dare to doubt the four of them, and I don't have any serious suspicions about your other disciples. On the contrary, there is a person, even if there is no such thing, he wants to ask Miao Daxia for advice. ”
Miao Xi turned his head and frowned, "My family, is there anyone else?"
Fang Xiaodao nodded and said, "Nan Yimu, what kind of person is you?"
Miao Xi frowned, shook his head and said, "Although he can't compare with Brother Chen, he was raised by Brother Chen since he was a child, and he is by no means a traitor. ”
Fang Xiaodao said disapprerovingly: "I don't think so, Chen Daxia's martial arts are superb, but his disciples don't seem to be as good as the four masters of the Miao family." ”
Miao Xi was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Chen, this person is really not very good at teaching apprentices. The reason why he is a martial artist is because he has always promoted martial arts and longs for everyone in the world to have the ability to protect themselves. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "That's really busy, and when you're busy, you'll naturally relax a lot." ”
Miao Xi said: "What do you want to say, I don't think you Fang Xiaodao is a targetless person." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "This person is not as honest as he seems on the surface, he is a conspiracy with his mouth open and closed, and his mind is very sharp. This was nothing, but he had to talk so much about Huo Fengcheng to me that day. I immediately felt that he seemed to know this matter very well, but I was afraid that he would ask and ponder it less. Moreover, the four heroes, you, and Chen Daxia are all injured, and he is the only one who is fine, so I don't think it's normal. ”
Miao Xi was stunned: "This, it's impossible!"
Fang Xiaodao said: "I don't want to doubt him either, but when I saw that wound, I immediately suspected that it was a person who was extremely fast, but he couldn't use a sword." Killing people from the front, Zhang Gong is defenseless, it seems that this can only be an acquaintance!"
Miao Xi stood up and said, "But, when Ping'er came to tell us, he was in the back!"
Fang Xiaodao said: "Yes, it is precisely because he is behind that he is not eye-catching at all." ”
The more Miao Xi thought about it, the more likely it became, he slapped the table and said, "This is very difficult! If you ask it, I'm afraid it will hurt Brother Chen's heart!"
Fang Xiaodao smiled: "No, we'll go when we catch someone, Chen Daxia will never blame us." ”
Miao Xi looked at Fang Xiaodao, and suddenly felt that he should be relieved to hand over the matter to Fang Xiaodao.
In the middle of the moon, a figure appeared outside Zhang Gong's door and knocked on the door, but no one responded. So he pushed the door open and walked in, and groped his way to the bed in the dark. Suddenly, he touched a hard object, crouched down and touched it, and it turned out to be a scabbard.
The room lit up, and the man looked up to see that Fang Xiaodao was holding a long sword and holding a fire fold in his hand. Fang Xiaodao smiled and said, "Brother Nan, I'm so anxious!"
Nan Yimu sneered, and was about to break out of the door immediately, but suddenly a cold wind behind him, and a sword scabbard pierced the big vertebral point on his back, and he immediately fell to the ground.
When Nan Yimu woke up, Chen Han looked at him sadly, and there were already people sitting around him, waiting to interrogate him.
Fang Xiaodao said: "Brother Nan, you are really not very smart. ”
Nan Yimu said: "Becoming a king or defeating a king, what else is there to say." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "I don't like to talk to you, I just want to ask, where did you learn the Iron Hand Kung Fu?"
Nan Yimu stared at him without saying a word, obviously not knowing how Fang Xiaodao could have more vision than Chen Han.
Miao Xi said: "Fang Shaoxia, what's going on?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "Three years ago, I was almost killed by an iron-handed man in the mountain Zen Courtyard behind the Broken Soul Valley. Some time ago, I met a man named Jiang Cheng, whose hands were also as hard as iron. Both of their hands had a cyan glow that looked a little ugly. Of course, I still remember the thing that almost cost me my life, so when I saw Brother Nan's hands, it seemed that the bone joints were very strange!" After speaking, he grabbed Nan Yimu's hand and folded it, and the bone joints turned cyan.
Chen Han said angrily: "Evil animal, you said it yourself, what's going on?"
Miao Xi said: "Brother Chen, take care of your health." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "I saw it when you saluted me that day, but I am not surprised at all. Later, if you had to engage me with any conspiracy, I felt that you were not the same. You've been close to Zhang Gongtao these days, you think I don't know. But in fact, Zhang Gong told me that you always speak ill of other people's Dongshan faction. It's really my fault that I always get smart after an accident. ”
It turned out that in the past few days, Nan Yimu has always gone to Zhang Gong, and always said some rights and wrongs of the Dongshan faction. Zhang Gong hated the Dongshan faction so much that he turned around and scolded the Dongshan faction in front of Fang Xiaodao. Although Fang Xiaodao asked who told him all this gossip, he didn't think much about it after getting the answer, because he had the impression that Nan Yimu was originally a person who liked to talk about these things. Of course, he didn't dare to think about Chen Han's apprentice, as for Nan Yimu's hand, he thought that it was really common for people who practiced martial arts to hurt their hands. But after the incident, after searching for all the suspicious people, he immediately locked on Nan Yimu and figured out everything.
Xiao Ying said: "Jiang Cheng we saw in the inn that day, he is Tie Qing's hands. ”
Sun Yan nodded and said, "I remember it too, but only the knuckles of his hands are cyan." Could it be that the more powerful this kung fu is, the greener the color of the fingers?"
Chen Han was well-informed, nodded and said, "That's pretty much what it means." For those who practice Iron Hand Kung Fu, their hands will turn cyan. But it will start with the knuckles, because if the knuckles are not strong enough, it is useless to practice iron hand kung fu. So, they will start with knuckles. ”
Sun Yan said: "That's right, if you don't practice knuckles first, I'm afraid that even if you practice iron hands, you will easily be broken by a master." ”
Miao Xi said: "Nan Yimu, Brother Chen treats you well, why do you do such a thing?"
Nan Yimu sneered: "Hmph, he treats me very well, but I can't learn any real skills under him." I'm not young anymore, but martial arts are not outstanding in martial arts. Even Fang Xiaodao, a milky person who has not dried up, could have been famous three years ago, but I am still penniless. He has taught so many apprentices, and every day he goes to great lengths to teach a group of people who may not be able to use martial arts for the rest of their lives. And I, with a passionate ambition, can't get his true biography. So, I can't rely on him, I can only rely on myself. He said righteous words, as if Chen Han had abused him.
Chen Han said helplessly: "This kung fu requires years of hard work, and it cannot be achieved overnight. You've asked me before why I didn't pass you on your bones, and I can tell you now. In addition to the fact that this kung fu is too vicious, it is not as promising as our hard whip kung fu. You can ask Brother Miao, in my early years, I was also stronger than the iron whip, but later, my iron whip kung fu was able to meet few opponents in the world, which was completely due to my willingness to work hard. As long as you are willing to work hard, our iron whip will not be lost to any kind of peerless learning in the world. Not only are you putting the cart before the horse, but you're also trying to take shortcuts, and you're very wrong. ”
Miao Xi nodded and said, "I can prove this." ”
Nan Yi said: "The matter has come to this, what does it matter if you are wrong, life and death are up to you!"
Chen Han said bitterly: "Evil animal! Right and wrong are always very important, right is right, and wrong is wrong. Martial arts are very different, but right and wrong are in people's hearts. The so-called evil ways are actually those who are unwilling to work hard and are bent on taking shortcuts. Since ancient times, there has never been an evil sect that has reached the pinnacle of martial arts. Those who practice martial arts are right to study hard and practice hard, and it is wrong to be opportunistic, which is never wrong. ”
When Fang Xiaodao heard this, he immediately felt the simplicity of a martial arts master. The martial arts in the world are ever-changing, but none of them can reach the top by opportunism. This is also like being a human being, you must avoid being overly high-eyed.
