Chapter 3: Encountering Bandits

It has been half a month since Sima Taixiao left Sima Villa, Sima Taixiao has met some travelers, visited some villages, met some Jianghu guests, and has a better understanding of the world. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThere is no government in this world, most people are martial arts, and it can be said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There are many factions on the rivers and lakes, and there are constant disputes in the light and dark. Among them, there are three major gangs, namely the Heaven Shaking Jingwei, the Fist Sect and the Immortal Sword Sect, which are the strongest. Among them, the Immortal Sword Sect participated in the battle of the righteous demons five hundred years ago, and the gang leader was one of the members who survived the war. Although the other two factions were only established after the Great War, their strength in the past five hundred years of development was actually above that of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect.

Sima Taixiao has also seen those ordinary people, some of them are afraid of the people in the rivers and lakes, some look forward to it, and some are disgusted.

The aimless travel in the past half a month has made Sima Taixiao feel a lot more comfortable. I don't get tired of seeing the strange mountains and stones, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and even the air is much better than in the previous life. Looking at these beautiful scenery, Sima Tai smiled and came up with an idea: to get revenge, after finding Piaoxue, I want to visit the great rivers and mountains of this world with Piaoxue.

On this day, Sima Taixiao is no longer running around aimlessly, because he is going to a town called "Fuchun City". According to travelers, it is the most prosperous place in the world.

Sima Tai laughed and hummed a little song, and walked in a small forest with a big walk. Just when he was comfortable, three big men with knives jumped out from both sides of the road, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes.

"Lin hangs my name, the road follows my surname, if you want to pass, money buys your life!" the three big men shouted angrily.

Sima Tai smiled at the three roadblocks that suddenly jumped out, knowing that they had encountered a robbery. Although Sima Taixiao is not afraid, he doesn't want to cause more trouble, and more importantly, he has no money on his body, he has already spent the few silver taels in half a month, and the clothes on his body have been worn for an unknown amount of time, and the patches are all one by one.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are penniless in your lower body, and there are only some dry food in your baggage, and I hope you will be accommodating. ”

The three big men were also a little stunned, they jumped out without seeing it clearly just now, but now they can see Sima Tai's smiling appearance clearly, and they really don't look like rich people who are in tatters. Just when the three thieves were embarrassed, the big man led by Sima Taixiao saw the very tight knife wrapped in rags on Sima Taixiao's back and shouted: "Leave the knife behind your back and you can go!"

This knife was brought out by Sima Taixiao from the knife rack in the underground secret room of Sima Villa, and it was the extraordinary knife that the murderer asked for back then, and it was not snatched away because it was hidden in the secret room. Sima Taixiao decided to walk the rivers and lakes, fearing that the knife would be recognized by the enemy and cause trouble, so he wrapped it in rags. The family heirloom knife is not allowed to be coveted by others.

"If you want this knife, I'm afraid that you will need the lives of three people to exchange it. Sima Tai's smiling face was already covered with coldness.

"Hey, the kid doesn't know what to do, brothers, rob it!" the leader was furious, beckoning the two of them to do it.

"I don't want to do much, but I don't want to be afraid. There hasn't been a battle in this world yet, so you might as well try it out today with these three thieves who cut the path. Sima Taixiao, who was full of murderous intentions, still didn't forget to complain to himself: "Hmm, I've been here for so long, and I've been talking one by one." After making up his mind, Sima Taixiao put on a demeanor that he thought he was a hero, and pulled out the extraordinary knife behind his back with his left hand and his right hand and smiled: "Please." ”

When the two thieves who got the order saw Sima Taixiao and dared to resist with a knife, they were angry and slashed with a knife. Because it was the first battle, Sima Taixiao didn't dare to be careless, he fought concentratingly, and after flashing over and attacking a few times, he had a general understanding of the two thieves.

"It seems that these two thieves only know some superficial fists and kicks, so I don't know how the thief at the head is martial arts?" Thinking of this, Sima Taixiao didn't want to waste time on this kind of little thief, and quickly said that the two thieves cut over, because the knife was wrapped in cloth, so it didn't hurt the lives of the two thieves. The two thieves covered their injuries and didn't dare to go up again, but the thief who led them scolded and kicked the two thieves to the ground.

"It turns out that I have some ability in my hands, no wonder I dare to call Uncle Banben, boy, Uncle Ben will meet you!"

When the thieves attacked, Sima Taixiao also waved his knife to greet him, and he already knew what to do.

"Although this thief leader has some ability, it is nothing more than that, it is better to try his internal strength. ”

Sima Tai smiled and raised his energy, and his luck was on the blade of the knife, and the shroud instantly turned into pieces. I saw that the blade was white, extremely sharp, and the lines on the knife were clearly visible, shining with a glimmer under the action of internal force.

Sima Taixiao swung out with a knife, and a sharp force pierced the air and attacked the thief. The thief also wanted to stop it, but he didn't want the sword qi to dissipate halfway.

"Stinky boy, you dare to play Uncle Ben!" The thief saw it clearly, obviously the other party's skills were not good, and the sword qi seemed to be very powerful, but it was useless, and he was actually frightened by this kid, and he couldn't help but be annoyed.

Sima Taixiao is also a cold heart, he is indeed lucky in the knife, how to suddenly feel that the internal force is insufficient when he swings it, and even suddenly interrupts, resulting in no achievements in this knife, and when he tried the internal force that night, the distance of the wall is farther than this, and he can turn the wall into powder with one palm, why?

Sima Tai smiled and thought about it, but saw the thief leader attacking again, blocking the opponent's attack with a knife, and jumping back to open the distance. In a hurry, Sima Taixiao swung out of the knife again, and a sharp edge came out again, attacking the thief. The thief didn't dodge, he just felt that it was impossible for the sword to fly so far, but he didn't want this sword qi to not dissipate like before, but slashed directly at the thief's chest, leaving a terrifying wound on the thief's chest, and blood splattered. After slashing the thief, the sword qi did not slow down, piercing through the body, and even split several trees behind the thief before dissipating. Look at the thief who was tricked, he has long been out of breath.

"What the hell!" Sima Tai let out a depressed cry with a smile. "This knife is not in a situation of internal rest, although it is not exhausted, but it is so powerful. Could it be that it is because of the sequelae left by the ex's strong spurt that his internal force is intermittent from time to time? Although his internal force seems to be a lot stronger, this sequelae is really maddening. Fortunately, this time the enemy is the three thieves, if it is a master, I am afraid that I will definitely die, and this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. ”

"Hero's life!"

The two thieves' pleas for mercy pulled Sima Taixiao's thoughts back. Sima Tai looked at the two thieves with a smile, and after thinking about it, he still waved his knife to solve the two thieves. Originally, it was okay to spare these two people, but the situation of the two thieves who had seen themselves was always a hidden danger, and it was better to do it thoroughly for the sake of unnecessary trouble in the future. For Sima Taixiao, who has killed people and killed himself, there is no guilt in killing people now, not to mention that this river and lake is originally a river and lake that kills people, and the truth is always in the hands of the winner.

Sima Taixiao took out some broken silver and a lot of silver tickets from the three thieves: "Hey, it seems that these three people who just got tickets were planted in my hands before they had time to sell the stolen goods." But then again, if it weren't for my tattered appearance, they wouldn't have dared to rob me. Sima Tai smiled and stuffed all the money onto himself. "How can there be a feeling of playing a game, touching the corpse after fighting the boss, although they are not a boss. ”

After packing everything up, Sima Taixiao continued his trip, humming a little song, and striding towards Fuchun City.

After walking for a few more days, Sima Taixiao finally came to Fuchun City, the destination of this trip. Seeing the antique but majestic city in front of him, Sima Taixiao couldn't wait to step in.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the streets, and there are many shops on both sides of the street, and there are many small vendors selling along the streets. People are dressed in simple clothes, some are bargaining with merchants, some are walking along the street, and some are resting in teahouses...... Sima Tai, who was walking on the street, smiled, looking at his tattered clothes and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, because everyone thought he was a beggar. Sima Taixiao came to a cloth workshop and decided to change into new clothes. Sima Tai, who came out of the cloth workshop again, smiled and pretended to be new, he took out the hand mirror given by the cloth workshop and took a photo, and nodded with satisfaction: "Sure enough, there is the demeanor of a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, but this messy hair is a little unsightly, find an inn to eat something, and then take a bath and comb it." ”

The Near Hometown Pavilion is the largest inn in Fuchun City, which is magnificent, luxurious, accommodation, food, dancing girls, etc., and is a place frequented by heroes and scholars in the rivers and lakes, even in the entire war domain.

"This guest officer, do you want to be sharpened or stay in the hotel?" Sima Taixiao stepped into the Near Hometown Pavilion, and a junior came to greet him.

"An upper room. Sima Taixiao found a lot of silver taels and silver tickets on the three thieves, and he didn't worry about money for a while.

Sima Taixiao took the room card from the shopkeeper and lived in the Hometown Pavilion under the leadership of the second brother. The room was beautifully furnished, and Sima Tai smiled at the getting dark, and then came to the hall for dinner.

The hall is particularly spacious, dozens of tables of beautifully crafted seats are placed around the hall in an orderly manner, there are exquisite calligraphy and paintings hung on the wall, there is a high platform in the center of the hall, which specializes in providing entertainment performances such as singing and dancing, more than a dozen Xiao Si shuttle in the hall, busy adding wine and food to the guests. Sima Taixiao asked for a few delicate side dishes and a pot of wine, and enjoyed the singing and dancing performances in the hall while eating. Just as Sima Tai smiled and sighed at the beautiful appearance and graceful posture of the dancers, he heard the discussion of the two people sitting next to him.

"The once-in-a-decade summit Sanmen meeting is about to begin, you know?"

"Cut, who doesn't know that the Peak Three Gates will be a first-class conference in martial arts, I won't know?"

The so-called Peak Three Sects Association Sima Taixiao has also heard others say in his half-month travels that every ten years the Heaven Shaking Jingwei, the Fist Sect and the Immortal Sword Sect will jointly hold a grand event, inviting heroes from all over the world to adjudicate on the major martial arts events in the past ten years and discuss the future trend of martial arts. At that time, if there are any grievances between the various sects, they can be resolved through the mediation of the three sects, or they can settle grievances through the rules of the rivers and lakes to compete in martial arts. This time, the summit of the three sects was held in the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect, and the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect was on Cuiling Mountain, fifty miles southeast of Fuchun City.

"Then do you know what the three doors will focus on this time?"

"You also underestimate me, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that in recent years, many heads of sects have been assassinated, which is another unsolved case after the case of destroying the sect, of course we want to discuss this. ”

"You're right, but I'm afraid it won't do much to solve the case. Originally, these three sects were established in response to the extermination case, but in the past five hundred years, more than a dozen sects and families have been wiped out one after another, and there is still no clue about the murderer?"

Sima Taixiao was shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that the case of destroying the door they are talking about is referring to the destruction of Sima Villa, but listening to what they said, it seems that not only Sima Villa has been destroyed in the past five hundred years, but there are more than a dozen." I'm going, what kind of organization is so generous? It seems that it is necessary to go to the summit of the Sanmen Society. ”

Just when Sima Tai was smiling and pondering, he saw a person in the hall rise up from the table, drunkenly grabbing the hand of a dancing girl and pulling it.
