...... in Liusha Town

It is said that the Vermilion Wing faction and the goshawk faction competed in that competition, and after the goshawk faction won and dominated the town, there was no law and order problem in the town. And Su Jia, who defeated Zhu Qiyang, the leader of the Zhu Yi faction, became a celebrity for a while, and the gorgeous swordsmanship and knife skills that this peerless beauty used in the ring at that time must still be fresh in his memory......

At the Green Willow Lake, the old lame's house......

"This wooden man is really amazing, no matter how you fight, you can't beat it. At the door of the old lame man's house, Xiao Tian was practicing martial arts with a wooden man, and Su Jia was watching from the sidelines.

When the old lame man saw it, he scolded: "Ge Laozi, you stinky boy, never say something nice." If you can smash the wooden man, Lao Tzu will strip you and take it to pay off your gambling debts!"

Xiao Tian smiled and said, "Master, you said that you are a carpenter, how can you have such a magical wooden man?"

When the old cripple heard this, he withdrew his smile and muttered, "This wooden man, is it...... Lao Tzu can only be proud of it now......"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Tian asked blankly.

Su Jia watched from the side and smiled lightly.

Seeing Su Jia's reaction, the old lame man raised his head and asked, "You girl, what are you laughing at?"

Su Jia thought for a while, and then said, "You must have been very arrogant when you were young, but it's a pity...... Because of that lesson, I was cut off my knee and ended up with a crippled ......"

When the old lame man heard this, his expression immediately became serious, and he glanced at it and exclaimed, "What did you just say?"

Su Jia knew that she had accidentally picked up the bottom of the old lame, but seeing Xiao Tian's blank look, she thought that sooner or later Xiao Tian would know, so she said: "The 'Demon Master' who is good at tricks, one of the disciples of Master Xuanqing of Wutai Mountain......"

The old cripple was surprised: "Who are you, how do you know my identity?"

Su Jia calmed down for a while, and then said, "It's your fellow disciple Xuankong Master Senior who once told me......"

"Do you know Master Xuankong......" The old cripple stared at Su Jia with a surprised gaze, he thought that Su Jia was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Master, ...... you" Xiao Tian was also surprised on the side, after all, in the past year, the old cripple had never told himself about his life deeds, "This, is this true?"

The old lame man closed his eyes and thought about it, and felt that this woman named Su Jia was indeed not simple, although she had palpitations, she always felt that this girl had a reassuring feeling...... So, the old lame man said slowly, "It's time to tell you...... The true identity of the teacher ......"

Xiao Tian was even more puzzled by the second monk: "Master, who are you ......?"

The old lame man raised his head to the sky and said: "As a teacher, he has no name or surname, and he doesn't know how to be born, one of the disciples of Master Xuanqing, because he has read through the art of the ghost valley organ, and the world is called 'Demon Master'...... When he was young and vigorous, he was cut off his knee because he had violated a cult and was disabled for life......" Speaking of this, the old lame's eyes began to become sad.

When Xiao Tian heard this, he was still full of doubts: "Then Master, you want to ...... Live in this town of Liusha?"

The old lame man continued: "Since then, the teacher has retired to the rivers and lakes, wanting to live a stable life, so he lived incognito and lived in this Liusha Town...... But who knows that the world is chaotic, Mengyuan is tyrannical, and there is a Liu Jinquan and Zhu Qiyang in Liusha Town, which makes this Liusha Town never have peace...... Therefore, as a teacher, he used what he had learned all his life to build this wooden man, just for self-defense, until the last time the martial arts competition was held for you, a stinky boy...... Ever since you stinky boy worshipped me as a teacher, and thought that as a disciple of Xiaojia Villa, you and I were also living a wandering life in a foreign land, I regarded you as my beloved apprentice......" Speaking of this, the old cripple hid his face and went down.

When Xiao Tian heard this, he burst into tears, only to see him make an astonishing move-Xiao Tian knelt down and stood up and said, "Master, the apprentice has made the master worry too much in the past year, and he doesn't understand the master's hard work...... I'm here to apologize!" After speaking, he kowtowed respectfully to the ground.

"Get up, stinky boy, I'm not worth it......" said the old lame man as he looked up and returned to his old tone.

After Xiao Tian kowtowed, he slowly stood up. When Su Jia saw it, she knew that what she had just said was a little inappropriate, so she apologized and said, "I'm sorry, senior, forgive the little girl for not wanting to offend ......"

"It's okay, it's all in the past, and it's time to let this stinky boy know......" The old cripple thought about it, and then said to Su Jia, "I'm sorry, girl, I have something to say to this stinky boy, can you avoid it first?"

Su Jia nodded and said, "Okay, I won't bother you...... Ah Tian, I'll be waiting for you across the bridge, and I'll hear that there are important things to do when I go back later. ”

"I know, I'll be right over. Xiao Tian wiped away his tears and said.

So, Su Jia left first......

When the old lame man saw that Su Jia was gone, he said to Xiao Tian: "Ge Laozi, you stinky boy is not simple, such a mysterious girl is on the stall...... Anyway, I heard you stinky boy became a member of the Goshawk faction, didn't you?"

Xiao Tian replied, "Yes, what's wrong?"

The old cripple thought for a while, and said earnestly: "When the teacher was young and vigorous, it was because he had an unpleasant relationship with the cult that he ended up today...... Now the goshawks are also a 'black faction', I hope you will behave yourself and not have anything to do with those who are not haode......"

"I know!" Xiao Tian said, "but Miss Su is my friend, I think Miss Su is a good person, and there must be a reason why she joined the Goshawk Sect." ”

The old lame man nodded and said, "Well, that girl is indeed not simple, I hope so...... But no matter what, stinky boy, you remember, a manly man must be a good person in the world, and he can't be in the same league as bad people. ”

"Well, I remembered!" Xiao Tian replied in a righteous manner......

After leaving the old lame's house, Xiao Tian and Su Jia were walking on the road to rejuvenation and rejuvenation......

"Oh, I watched you practice martial arts at your master's house just now, and it seems that your martial arts still haven't made any progress. Su Jia thought of the situation of Xiao Tian's martial arts practice in the old lame man's house just now, so she said to Xiao Tian, "Maybe it's really as you said, you are indeed not a piece of martial arts training material." ”

Xiao Tian thought for a moment and asked, "Is it? But Miss Su...... You have such a great kung fu at such a young age, you should have a secret when you practice, right?"

Su Jia listened to Xiao Tian's words, first paused, and then smiled at Xiao Tian and said, "Hehe, the secret of my practice is only four words - 'Heart, Nothing, Miscellaneous, Thoughts'!"

"Heart...... Not...... Distractions?" Xiao Tian muttered to himself.

Su Jia nodded and said, "That's right, as long as you think about the thing you want to do and do it well, you can get twice the result with half the effort, so you have to have no distractions." ”

"That's ......," Xiao Tian lowered his head and muttered.

The two chatted while walking, and soon arrived at the Spring Building......

Today's Spring Building is particularly lively, especially outside the door, the lights are colorful, as if to welcome someone back. When Xiao Tian saw it, he asked Su Jia: "By the way, I saw the excitement here early this morning, is there anyone who wants to hold any happy event?"

Su Jia said: "I don't know, just find someone to ask." ”

So, Su Jia asked a guard at the door, "May I ask, weishenme is so lively here, is there something to celebrate?"

As soon as the guards saw that it was the big celebrity "Su Jia" in Liusha Town, they raised their spirits and said, "Tell Miss Su that Liu Gongzi's sister is back today." Liu Gongzi originally asked someone to tell Miss Su, but he didn't see Miss Su early this morning, so he had to Zhang Luo first. Liu Gongzi ordered that Miss Su and Xiao Shaoxia attend the banquet in the hall at noon today!"

"Sister?" Su Jia asked, "What is the name of Liu Gongzi's sister?"

The guard replied, "Miss Su doesn't know? Her name is Liu Shuibi." ”

After listening to this, Su Jia said, "I know, let's go to the hall immediately." ”

"Yes!" replied the guard. But then again, since Su Jia became a celebrity, Su Jia has not only been praised and sought after by many people, but Liu Jinquan also promised Su Jia that all his subordinates can listen to Su Jia's dispatch.

After that, Xiao Tian asked, "Miss Su, what's the matter?"

Su Jia said: "Liu Gongzi's sister Liu Shuibi has returned to Liusha Town, and Liu Gongzi wants us to go to the hall for a banquet at noon. ”

After being silent for a while, Xiao Tian suddenly thought, "That...... Miss Su, you said that you and I have known each other for so long, and you have helped me so much, but I ...... I didn't repay you much, or I'll give you a gift one day?"

Su Jia listened and replied with a smile: "No need, xiexie! Aren't the two of us friends? ”

Xiao Tian said again: "But 'helping each other' is mutual, and I haven't helped you yet...... In this way, Miss Su, you lend me your knife to take a look. ”

Su Jia asked curiously, "What do you want a knife for?"

Xiao Tian stretched out his hand and said, "Hey, I'll just take a look, just one look!"

Su Jia hesitated for a moment, and then took out a brown satin-wrapped wooden slats from her waist. Slowly open the satin, and inside is the mysterious black short knife. Xiao Tian took the knife, looked up and down, left and right, and then returned it to Su Jia: "This knife really has some weight!

Su Jia took back the knife, and still asked puzzledly: "I still don't understand, Ah Tian, what do you want to see the knife do?"

Xiao Tian cocked his index finger and said, "This is still a secret...... However, you will be very happy when you see this gift!"

"Oh, is it?" Su Jia, who was usually thoughtful, was a little confused when she heard Xiao Tian's words, so she glanced at it and said, "When did you become so mysterious?"

Xiao Tian didn't answer, just smirked vigorously on the side. Seeing Xiao Tian's stupid appearance, Su Jia couldn't help laughing......

At noon, at the gate of the Spring Building, everyone began to gather up. The suona sounded suddenly, the firecrackers rang out, and I didn't ask which two families I really thought were going to get married!

Since Su Jia and Xiao Tian had always lived in Chunyi Building, and Liu Jinquan's subordinates were sent by Su Jia, they didn't do much.

Xiao Tian said to Su Jia on the side: "To welcome a younger sister is to have such a big pomp, if you don't figure it out, you really think you want to get married!"

Su Jia drank tea and said, "Judging from this pomp, this Liu Shuibi doesn't look like an ordinary character......"

Xiao Tian said again: "Such a luxurious pomp and circumstance, if you want to change it in our Xiao Family Villa, just to welcome an acquaintance who has done nothing, you will definitely be scolded by the master." ”

Su Jia turned her head and asked, "So you have experience?"

Xiao Tian grabbed his head and said embarrassedly, "Yes...... Four years ago in Xiaojia Villa, when my senior brother Xiao Bo returned from Wudang Lunjian, my junior brother Xiao Qi and my junior sister Xuecui and I didn't know how many firecracker streamers we got at the door in order to welcome the senior brother. As a result, the firecrackers were so fierce that the streamers burned, blackening one of the ears of the stone lion at the door. At that time, the three of us were caught by the master for criticism and lessons, and let us kneel in front of the ancestral altar for a morning, and our knees were swollen......"

"Hehe, that's what you should ......" Su Jia couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "I didn't expect you to have such interesting memories when you were a child!"

"Yes......" Xiao Tian looked up at the ceiling and said affectionately, "Before I was kicked out of Xiaojia Villa, I played with my junior siblings and senior brothers every day. Although I have the worst martial arts, they all love me so much, especially my sister Xuecui, who is really like my biological sister. Hey, don't mention how happy those days are......"

"Were the days of the past......" After listening to Xiao Tian's narration, Su Jia's eyes suddenly became deep and serious, staring intently at the withered desktop.

Xiao Tian heard Su Jia's sigh, turned his head to look at Su Jia, and found that Su Jia's eyes were a little confused, and even a little sad, so he asked with concern: "What's wrong with you, Miss Su, are you not feeling well?"

"Ah, no...... It's nothing ......" Su Jia quickly came back to her senses, brushed her hair and sideburns with her right hand and said, "I have a little idea...... Oh, Liu Gongzi is here. ”

While the two were talking and laughing, Liu Jinquan came to the hall with the guards, but he hadn't seen any women yet, and it seemed that Liu Shuibi hadn't arrived yet.

Liu Jinquan was still dressed in white, with a sword and a folding fan. As soon as he came in, he asked Su Jia, "How is it, Miss Su, my subordinates are quite obedient, right?"

When Su Jia and Xiao Tian saw it, they both stood up immediately. Su Jia greeted with a smile: "Back to Liu Gongzi, your subordinates are not bad, whatever I want them to do, they can complete it quickly." ”

Seeing this, Liu Jinquan also smiled and said: "Hey, Miss Su doesn't have to be so uncomfortable, if something goes wrong with her subordinates, even if you can propose to me, I, Liu Jinquan, will definitely help Miss Su solve your problems......"

"It's really nothing, Liu Gongzi ......" Su Jia said again, "But, dare to ask Liu Gongzi, why did you have to make such a big show to welcome your sister? Oh, I don't mean anything else, I just want to know what kind of character Liu Gongzi's sister is, and she is so warmly welcomed?"

Liu Jinquan explained: "Oh, Miss Su hasn't been here for a long time, so I don't know, my sister Liu Shuibi and I are both disciples of Lu Huanlu's seniors. ”

"Lu Huan?" asked Su Jia pretendingly.

"It's Lu Huanlu, one of the four saints of martial arts today, but ......," Liu Jinquan continued, "It doesn't have much to do with my sister's origins." My sister, Liu Shuibi, is only 16 years old and is very clever, and my subordinates have enjoyed playing with my clever sister over the years. During this time, because the master and his old man had something to do with her, she went out for half a year. Now that she is back, her subordinates are so happy that they put on a big show to welcome my sister. ”

"I see...... Su Jia nodded.

"Report-" The guards outside the door came in and shouted, "Young Master Liu, the water sister has arrived!"

"Really?" asked Liu Jinquan happily.

"Yes, she's out there right now. The guard said.

"Water girl?" Su Jia said puzzled.

Liu Jinquan explained: "Oh, the name 'Water Girl' was given to her by everyone, and it is funny and kind. With that, he walked out the door quickly.

Su Jia was puzzled: "So popular, I want to see what this Liu Shuibi looks like......

So, Su Jia and Xiao Tian also walked to the door of the hall and looked at it from afar......

A cyan carriage drove from the intersection of three streets, and out of it came a woman in a cyan cloak. Looking at the past from afar, her face is delicate, her demeanor is refined, and she is like a slim narcissus, it seems that this person is the "water girl" Liu Shuibi.

Su Jia saw him at the door and muttered, "You look good, I don't know how to behave......

Liu Jinquan personally helped Liu Shuibi out of the carriage, Liu Shuibi saw Liu Jinquan and shouted with a smile: "How is it, miss me, brother?"

Liu Jinquan nodded Liu Shuibi's forehead and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, stinky girl, it's been half a year, and everyone misses you very much!"

"Hee-hee-hee......" Liu Shuibi smiled and closed her chin.

Liu Jinquan asked again: "By the way, sister, does the master and his old man have any requirements or tasks for us this time?"

Liu Shuibi replied, "Master doesn't have any arrangements this time...... However, his old man's home is now in a small village near the town of Liusha. ”

"Really?" asked Liu Jinquan happily, "Then why didn't Weishenme invite his old man to the town? I miss him a little......

Liu Shuibi said: "Master said that he wanted to find a place to recuperate and come back to the town in a few days. ”

"That's right......," Liu Jinquan said again, "but seriously, I really want to see his old man soon!"

"Is there any news from my brother?" asked Liu Shuibi in turn.

"Of course, brother has great news for you......" Liu Jinquan said, "In the ring match a few days ago, our Goshawk Faction completely defeated the rival Vermilion Wing Faction, and now the entire Liusha Town is ruled by our Goshawk Faction. ”

"Really?" Liu Shuibi said happily when she heard this, "Brother, you are so powerful! In this way, we no longer have to worry about our old opponents coming to us." ”

Liu Jinquan said with a smile: "Actually, the person who made this contribution is not your brother and me, but a new girl with very strong martial arts." ”

"Girl?" Liu Shuibi wondered.

"That's right!" Liu Jinquan said, "Her name is Su Jia, not only is she excellent in martial arts, but she is also very beautiful. ”

Liu Shuibi asked again: "Then what did this Miss Su say she came from?"

"No, she said that it was not convenient to tell us, but she was not only good at swordsmanship, but also excellent in swordsmanship, and even the old guy Zhu Qiyang was startled, so it was not clear what sect she came from. Liu Jinquan whispered into Liu Shuibi's ear, "But this Miss Su is simply a beauty who captivates the country and the city, and maybe she will become my wife in the future, that is, your sister-in-law." As he spoke, he let out a small laugh.

"Brother, you won't beat people up again, will you?" Liu Shuibi also asked quietly.

"It's not what you think, but ......," Liu Jinquan said again, "don't tell anyone about it......

"Got it, got it......" Liu Shuibi waved his hand to Liu Jinquan's side.

The Liu brothers and sisters slowly walked to the door of the Spring Building, only to hear the guards shouting in unison: "Welcome back Sister Shui!"

"Ouch-" Xiao Tian, who was sitting at the table drinking tea, was startled by this sudden sound, and the teacup in his hand also rolled to the ground.

"What's wrong with you, Ah Tian?" asked Su Jia from the side. Because Su Jia was well focused, she still sat peacefully in the chair.

Xiao Tian picked up the teacup on the ground and said, "No...... Nothing, just a shock. ”

Looking at Xiao Tian's stupid appearance, Su Jia held her chin with a smile on the side. At this time, the Liu brothers and sisters walked into the hall, and beside them were Liu Duan, who had competed with Xiao Tian, and Wang Biao, who was injured.

When Su Jia and Xiao Tian saw it, they immediately stood up. Liu Jinquan put his hand at Su Jia, and first said to Liu Shuibi: "Sister, look, this is the Su girl I just introduced to you!"

When Su Jia saw Liu Shuibi, she saluted first: "Hello Miss Liu!"

"Just call me Sister Shui!" Liu Shuibi also smiled, "It turns out that you are the Su girl mentioned by my brother, now that you look closely, you really have the face of the country, I really can't imagine that such a beautiful sister can defeat Zhu Qiyang's old guy, you must know that Zhu Qiyang's martial arts can even be compared with the chief disciples of some sects!"

Hearing Liu Shuibi's praise, Su Jia said embarrassedly: "Where, where...... I heard Liu Gongzi say that Shui Mei is smart and clever, and now it seems that there are really two points of resemblance!"

Liu Shuibi also smiled when she heard this. Liu Jinquan stretched out his hand to Xiao Tian again and said, "This is Miss Su's friend, named Xiao Tian. ”

Xiao Tian bowed his head and said, "Hello Miss Liu!"

Liu Duan saw Xiao Tian, walked over and patted Xiao Tian on the shoulder and said, "Hey, Brother Xiao, do you remember me?" Liu Duan's voice was not only heroic, but also the palm of his hand was more powerful, Xiao Tian was not ready, and he almost fell down without standing firm.

Xiao Tian stroked his shoulder and said, "You are the 'splitting leg' brother Liu...... But weren't you Zhu Qiyang's subordinate, how could you ......?"

Liu Duan said: "Because I have made a relatively big contribution to persuading the remnants of the Zhu Yi faction, Liu Gongzi valued me and made me a petty official in the east of the city." No, the person who recommended me is still this Wang Biaowang brother!"

Wang Biao dragged the bandage and smiled at Xiao Tian: "Brother Xiao is good!"

When Xiao Tian saw it, he secretly said in his heart: "Hey, I don't know who said that he was going to dismantle me a few days ago?" Now I helped him out of his anger and taught that big fat man a lesson, he changed his face so quickly, and his title changed from 'stinky boy' to 'Brother Xiao'......"

Liu Jinquan asked someone to tidy up the things on the table again, and then said: "Good wine, you and my sister have returned from other places today, everyone can have a good drink today!"

"Good!" there were bursts of celebration inside and outside the hall.

As a result, the staff in the store brought several jars of good wine, and before the lid was opened, they could smell the mellow aroma.

When the wine reached the table, Xiao Tian looked a little dumbfounded, and said to Su Jia: "Oh no, Miss Su, I have grown so big, and I have never drunk alcohol." ”

"What, you haven't drunk?" Su Jia said, "It doesn't matter, everything has a first time." I remember the first time I drank, I was a little scared, but I got used to it after drinking too much. ”

"But I'm still ......," Xiao Tian still had palpitations.

These words reached Liu Duan's ears, only to hear him let go of his voice and say, "What, Brother Xiao, you haven't drunk alcohol?"

This howl came out, and everyone knew about it, which made Xiao Tian a little embarrassed. However, the big guy didn't laugh at him, but only listened to Liu Jinquan say: "It's okay, Brother Xiao, everyone is here today, and you have learned this drinking by the way." As he spoke, he picked up a bowl and threw it to Xiao Tian.

"I'm ......" Xiao Tian took the bowl, a little speechless.

Liu Duan interjected again: "Yes, Brother Xiao, you are a heroic young man, you are so bold on the martial arts stage, how can you not drink in the audience? Although a manly husband cannot be as addicted to alcohol as an alcoholic, he must not be able to drink!" After speaking, he patted Xiao Tian on the back vigorously.

Being slapped by this, Xiao Tian straightened up and said, "That's ...... Well, I'll get out of the way today!" he said, filling his bowl with wine.

"Okay!" said Liu Jinquan, "the big guys are full ......of wine," and everyone poured their wine and raised it.

Liu Jinquan said again: "For the return of the water sister, do it!"

"!" everyone drank. Su Jia drank it all, and Xiao Tian felt uncomfortably spicy in his stomach as soon as he took a sip. Su Jia saw it and said to Xiao Tian: "Ah Tian, let me teach you, you should treat yourself as having endless pain and sorrow, want to stimulate your body, and then close your eyes and dry ...... in one gulp."

Xiao Tian listened to Su Jia's words, then looked at the wine in the bowl, thinking about the pain when he was kicked out of the Xiao family, and then closed his eyes and drank the wine in the bowl......

Everyone put down the bowl, including Xiao Tian. At this time, Xiao Tian dried so much in one bite, not only was his stomach spicy and uncomfortable, but even his head and whole body began to heat up, and he could feel that the pores of his whole body were emitting heat outward.

Liu Duan saw that Xiao Tian had finished drinking, so he asked, "How is it, Brother Xiao, how did you taste when you drank for the first time?"

Xiao Tian closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Oops, I can't stand drinking so much at once......"

"Hahahaha!" everyone in the hall laughed.

Liu Duan patted Xiao Tian on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Brother Xiao, drink a few more times and get used to it!"

Xiao Tian rubbed his stomach and shouted, "I can't do it anymore, I have to go upstairs to rest......"

Su Jia saw it and said with concern: "Ah Tian, are you okay?"

Xiao Tian waved his hand. Liu Jinquan said: "Haha, since Brother Xiao is too much to drink, it is better to go upstairs and rest as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Tian saluted and said, "Then Xiao will retire first, and you will continue to drink...... After speaking, he rubbed his stomach and slowly went upstairs......

After a while, the crowd was still drinking. I only heard Liu Jinquan say to Liu Shuibi: "Sister, you came back from out of town this time, and I just want you to help me investigate one thing." ”

Liu Shuibi put down the wine bowl and asked, "Well, what's the matter, brother?"

Liu Jinquan continued: "A few days before the competition, two members of our team, Feng Rui and Peng Xiaoquan, were supposed to collect protection money in the morning, but in broad daylight, in a small alley with no one, they were killed by unknown people. ”

Su Jia paused suddenly, because she knew very well that those two evil officials had died under her own sword.

Liu Shuibi heard this and exclaimed, "Oh, is it?"

Liu Jinquan continued: "Yes, they were all killed with one sword, and the wounds were very small, they should be a martial arts master. Since my sister is smart and witty, she naturally wants to ask my sister for help in finding out the murderer who killed them. ”

Liu Shuibi listened, stood up and said, "I know, this matter is on me......"

Su Jia was still sitting on the side, her eyes staring at the wine in the bowl, her expression was serious, and she seemed to be thinking about something......
