Five days ago, Quanta Xianpeng Villa.

Xu Zisi and his eldest son Xu sat in the hall, one indifferent, and the other with a lawsuit.

"Father, how did you get that in just a few days since you returned from Linglong Jing, so many people from the rivers and lakes have come to provoke?" Xu lowered his eyebrows and said in a low voice.

Xu Zisi took a long breath, slowly took a sip of weak tea, and said slowly: "It's not a provocation, but we can learn from each other." ”

"Most of them are unknown people, but they seem to be instructed more. ”

Xu Zisi's eyelids closed, and Wen Xu drooped and said: "Father Yaliang, before and after the war, he even prepared a banquet. ”

Hearing this, Xu Zisi raised his palm and pressed his two temporal tinalities, shook his eyebrows and said: "Now is the meal, I still have to go over, pay tribute to them, and express gratitude." The voice fell, and he put his feet and went out to the hall.

"Xie?" Xu sneered lightly, and said secretly in his heart: Is it Xie this group of warriors who came to challenge and face each other with swords, or Xie this group of gourmets who came to the banquet and opened their mouths for dinner?

On this side, Xu Zisi went to the outer hall, and saw the old servant in the house standing by the door, raised his eyebrows and looked inward, and saw that there were four tables in the hall, each table was five or six people, and he had already eaten a mess of cups and plates, and the soup was cold. However, in one of the corners, there were still two people squatting, both wearing coarse cloth and gray robes, their hair was only tied behind their backs with a red rope, one palm tray, the other hand holding chopsticks, burying their faces in the plate, gobbling up.

Seeing this, Xu Zisi raised his eyebrows and smiled, shook his head, raised his hand and motioned to the old servant, asking him to go to the kitchen and get more food.

A few people in the hall, when they were rubbing their stomachs, finally raised their eyebrows to see Xu Zisi. Turning his face, the faces of all the people at the table tightened suddenly, and while fleeing their eyes, they all got up together, and arched their hands: "Master Xu, thank you for the reception." ”

Xu Zisi shook his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "You have all made a move this morning. Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for it. ”

When several people heard the voice, their faces turned red, and they all responded, "Master Xu Zhuang is polite, but we are embarrassed." The voice fell, raised his glass and pushed the lamp, and said again: "Thank you for the mercy of the master of Xu Zhuang, I will wait, and I will bow to the wind." ”

Xu Zisi took the servant and handed him the cup, bowed with both hands, and drank it all.

The rest of the people were also full of dry lamps, polite to each other in their mouths, and then they talked to each other individually, and one by one they came out, and they couldn't stay even for half a moment; there were still a few people, who saw the two people in the corner before leaving, and their hearts were full of contempt.

Xu Zisi saw that everyone had gone, picked up one here, slowly fell, and said loudly to the two coarse cloth men: "Two, why don't you just sit?"

At this time, the two people in the corner swallowed the last bite of food on the plate, chewed, and curled the rice grains at the corner of their mouths, put the bowl of chopsticks aside, looked at each other, and got up.

Xu Zisi saw the appearance of the two, and saw that they were both born white, but their cheeks were fleshless, and they looked more like weak scholars who couldn't pick their shoulders.

"We, brothers, don't dare to sit at the table. ”

"Why?"

"Sitting as a guest. We are not invited or stayed, we are not relatives or friends, and we are really not worthy of being seated. ”

Xu Zisi laughed loudly when he heard this, but he actually got up and invited each other, "The two of you will be invited to the table here, accompany me, the old man, can you enter a few more thin wines?"

Seeing this, the two of them tightened their eyelids, and they already pursed their lips in unison and stepped forward.

"The two of you can know that the people who have just left are not invited here, they are all just friends from the rivers and lakes who came to the door on their own. ”

"Of course the two of us know. ”

"If they can come to the banquet and feast, why can't you wait?"

Hearing this, the two laughed lightly, drank a glass, and one of them responded: "They are here just to challenge." There's nothing wrong with having a meal after the trick. However, our brothers are here for this meal. In this way, the intention is already inferior to others, how can you not consciously be a dwarf?"

Xu Zisi closed his eyes, smiled lightly, shook his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: These two people are also a little interesting.

"In this way, the two of you heard that there are many chivalrous guests in my house, and they hold banquets every day, so this party came to join in the fun?" Xu Zisi's eyes opened slightly, but his eyes swept the sword carried by the two people on his side, and he couldn't help laughing.

"I'll wait...... Although I also have the heart to come to compete, however, with the reputation of Xu Daxia, our brother originally listed you as the bottom three of the challenge list, and if you count the time, I am afraid that it will take a year and a half before you can come to this Xianpeng Villa. ”

"Oh?" Xu Zisi's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Then the reason why I came here in advance is because of the food on this table?" Before the words fell, Xu Zisi lightly lifted the wine jug in his left hand, grabbed his left sleeve with his right hand, got up slightly, and poured a full cup for the two of them.

Seeing this, the two immediately got up, took half a step back, and stood with their hands in their hands, with shame on their faces.

"I'm still a little curious, since I'm the last three, then the last two are the last, who should be?"

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and said in a deep voice: "The last two is the Jin Gongzi of Yixiao Villa." ”

When Xu Zisi heard this, he also smiled: "Looking at the rising stars in the rivers and lakes, Chu Jin is indeed a good sword maker. ”

"As for the end, it is naturally the 'sword and cross' Du Ku. ”

Xu Zisi's eyebrows tightened slightly, he pondered for a moment, shook his eyebrows and sighed: "The name of Jian Hengzi, more than twenty years ago, the bandits in the rivers and lakes did not hear about it, but then they ......"

"The whereabouts of Senior Du are uncertain, and now the people in the rivers and lakes are rarely mentioned. ”

Xu Zisi sighed for a long time, didn't want to say more, slowly entered the wine, smacked it softly twice, and felt a little sour and bitter in his mouth.

"I don't know what the two of you call yet?"

"Below, Xuan Baimo, this one, is the younger brother, Xuan Rouhan. ”

"Ya Ming, Ya Ming. Xu Zisi held the wine cup and pushed the cup to please.

The Xuan brothers immediately bowed their hands, raised their necks, and drank all the cups.

"My father was originally a man of one side, and he loved to write poems, and he danced and wrote during the day, so he gave my brother this name. Xuan Baimo bowed slightly to Xu Zisi and said in a low voice.

Xu Zisi secretly wondered, since these two brothers are from a scholarly family, how can they be so down? Raising his eyebrows, he saw the coarse cloth robes of the two again, and the cuffs were worn out, and he checked the expressions on the faces of the two of them, and he was stunned, and he could not ask the outlet.

That Xuan Baimo seemed to understand, looked at Xuan Rouhan sideways, and said lightly: "My father originally wanted my brother and son to inherit his father's business, and he was cold for several years, seeking fame, but he never thought about ......it."

Xuan Rouhan saw his brother pause, coughed lightly, and responded: "I never thought about our brother, especially I don't like to be influenced by others." The older he gets, the bigger his temper becomes, and he finally became a cage bird to get out of trouble, abandoning literature and martial arts. ”

Xu Zisi and his own children, he knew that it was not easy to raise children, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and asked softly: "Although I have come out to explore the rivers and lakes, if I am free, I should go home more and see the second elder, and enter the heart." ”

The two sons of the Xuan family looked at each other, raised their eyebrows and said bitterly: "The son wants to raise but his relatives are not there, I am ashamed!"

Xu Zisi heard this, said no more, slowly filled the wine cup, and the three of them drank it again.

After a stick of incense, there were already four or five empty wine jars at the feet of the three people.

Xu Zisi's cheeks flushed slightly, and he laughed loudly: "Full of wine and food, I wonder if the two of you want to go to the empty space in the courtyard and try your fists and feet?"

When the two sons of the Xuan family heard this, they all got up and bowed their hands and said, "That's what I mean." With that, he followed Xu Zisi out of the hall.

The backyard of Xianpeng Villa is divided into two. The left courtyard has few flowers and trees, more open space, two rows of weapon racks, swords, swords, halberds, sticks, axes and forks, everything; It's also interesting to say, Xu Zisi originally thought, men on the left and women on the right, such an arrangement, Xu Hang can stretch his muscles and bones in the left courtyard, practice kung fu, and Xu Liuliu can stop in the right courtyard to enjoy the flowers and feed the fish, and the two will not be delayed. Clinker, this left courtyard, but the daughter came more diligently.

Xu Zisi stayed at the moon gate of the left courtyard, and his eyes saw Xu hanging down on the right courtyard pavilion, smiling and greeting his precious fish. Xu Zisi glanced at the second son of the Xuan family for a while, and then looked at the second son of the Xuan family, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but he said secretly: Why do you have to inherit your father's business, this business, this reputation, I have never touched the blessings of my father? I thought for a moment, shook my eyebrows and laughed.

When the three of them arrived in the middle of the left courtyard, Xu Zisi bowed with both hands, and said slowly: "If you want to use a sword, you can also choose a weapon from here." ”

Xuan Baimo slowly picked up the tail of his robe, rolled it up to his waist, untied his sword, and said respectfully: "I heard that Xu Daxia had a giant spirit Qingshan stick, and the stick method was superb, and he was undefeated in a hundred battles, so my brothers and I asked for advice with swordsmanship. ”

Xu Zisi took a solid wood black long stick behind him, one end stood at his feet, and the other end was at shoulder level;

Seeing this, the Xuan brothers were also calm, took their swords out of their sheaths, and took half a step to the left and right.

Xu Zisi's eyelids tightened, and he saw that the two of them were half a zhang away, Xuan Baimo specialized in the upper three roads, and Xuan Rouhan concentrated on the lower plate. The swordsmanship of the two is fast and hard, and the sword blade is all critical, not ostentatious, not showing off skills, simple and unpretentious but deadly.

Xu Zisi snorted coldly, and praised in his heart: Fortunately, since the beginning, I have not dared to underestimate the two of them! The stick walked as he wished, and he played a Qingshan stick with the wind, and the body of the stick collided with the two swords, and the sound of tinkling was endless.

At the same time, there were also a number of new children of the rivers and lakes who came to worship the village, gathered in groups of three or two, regardless of the servants of Xianpeng Villa, broke into the left courtyard by themselves, stood by the door, and quietly watched the battle.

Two swords and a stick, either mysterious or elemental, have been entangled in one place, and the rapid transformation of the two moves is really dazzling.

After half a cup of tea, the three of them have been going back and forth before and after, and they have not seen superiority.

Xu Zisi praised in his heart, the corners of his lips were raised, his interest soared, he held the stick in his two palms, and the head of the stick hit the ground more than ten times, until the tip of the Xuanbai ink sword was lowered, and his feet went straight back;

Xuan Baimo saw that this stick was menacing, the sword edge was picked, and it was already stabbed on the stick, and the top of the Qingshan stick was subjected to this force, the stick body was steep, and the tail of the stick was almost a foot close to the ground, but it had been swept on Xuan Baimo's left ankle, although the force was not heavy, but it still made its steps unstable and lost its discipline.

Xuan Rouhan saw that his brother had suffered a loss, and his heart was naturally urgent, and he exerted force with one palm, and the hilt of the sword seemed to be sticky, one person and one sword, and went to the door of Xu Zisi before and after, buzzing and making a great sword sound.

Xu Zisi's eyes lit up, condensed the dantian, followed the meridian and followed the veins, conducted the qi in the palm, and the internal force came out, which ordered Xuan Baimo to spin on the ground with a black stick at his feet.

Xuan Baimo lifted his feet, and the whole person had already jumped half a foot, the sword body was facing downward, the edge touched the ground, and with a light pick, he swept the Qingshan stick to the side.

Xu Zisi saw that everything was expected, not in a hurry, his toes lightly touched one side, and he stopped the action of the Qingshan stick, the head of the stick was powerful, and the other side was already raised by itself, Xu Zisi shook his right arm, and added a force, and saw that the giant stick was moving forward, and the head was split to face Xuan Rouhan.

Seeing this situation, Xuan Baimo knew that the victory and defeat had been divided, returned the sword into the sheath, and then threw the long sword in his palm, and the scabbard was erected in the soil, blocking the way of the Qingshan stick to attack.

Everything came to an abrupt end at the moment when the sword and the stick collided violently.

Xu Zisi was behind one arm, the corners of his lips were still smiling, he paced two steps, raised his left palm, and just put the Qingshan stick at his side.

"The afterlife is terrifying. ”

Xuan Baimo immediately stepped forward, hung the long sword by his side, and when Xuan Rouhan was also tidying up, the two brothers bowed together, and gave Xu Zisi a deep look, and responded respectfully: "Xu Daxia is polite, it is indeed my brother who lost." ”

"Your moves are concise and sharp, should be appropriate, and do not drag the mud and water, quite everyone's style. Xu Zisi put the Qingshan stick in its original position on the weapon rack, and the archer responded accordingly, and praised again: "I don't know who the two young heroes are taught by?"

"There is no sect, no faction, no class. Xu Daxia is really ridiculous. ”

Xu Zi thought about hearing this, smiled deeply, looked up and closed his eyes, and sighed: "Fruit is a genius." If you have to train, you will become a great tool. ”

"In any case, my two brothers will eventually lose. ”

"In this battle, the two of you are not victorious, but you are also undefeated. ”

"If you don't win, you're defeated. The Xuan brothers looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"There's always something more important than winning or losing. Xu Zisi raised his eyebrows, looked around at the courtyard door, and finally fixed his eyes on Xu Hang's face.

"Don't get too attached to one thing. Xu Zisi pondered for a while, stepped forward again, patted the shoulder blade of the Xuan family brother, and said softly: "You and the other two are too obsessed with the sword in their hands, and they refuse to leave for half a minute." It is necessary to know that if you refine the realm, you can unite people and swords, and the body will be separated, but the gods will not be separated. ”

With a few words, the two of the Xuan family thought, shook their heads, shook their eyebrows, thought, and then shook their heads, and couldn't stop going back and forth.

"You wait, you want to drink and feast, you want to challenge, you decide for yourself. Xu Zisi's cheeks raised slightly, and he laughed loudly at the onlookers.
