Chapter 1 Lao Hua
Immortal Realm, Southern Regions
In a peach grove of fifty acres, there stands a pavilion.
There are two people, one big and one small, who learn martial arts from each other. Sweep the hall legs, flirt with the yin feet, and do everything.
"Snort"
I saw that the elder's five fingers suddenly turned blue and purple, and he grabbed the other person's shoulder with lightning speed.
"Smack"
The young man was also extremely agile, and he lowered his waist to block the grab with his right arm, and with the help of force, he took a small step back, and raised his left foot to give a whip kick that targeted the crotch of the older man.
Seeing this, the elder's eyes flashed with a hint of panic. A complicated spell was quickly recited from his mouth, and the air around him suddenly froze. Immediately, a gust of wind struck the young man's chest, and the young man couldn't dodge, so he had to take the blow hard.
"Lao Hua, say okay, you!"
Li Shici was standing indignantly on the mud ground a few feet away from Lao Hua, bowing down and panting, obviously the wind made him uncomfortable.
"Little apprentice, it's helpless to be a teacher, every time you learn martial arts like this, your yin tricks are endless, and I am forced to use magic in violation of regulations. ”
At this time, it was noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, and Lao Hua's slightly thin figure looked mysterious under the sunlight. In Li Shici's eyes, Lao Hua's weather-beaten old face couldn't really be seen in the afterglow of the scorching sun, only the momentum of that master made him feel extraordinary.
"It turns out that there are so many varied fist and kick techniques in the Nether, and the disciple's eyes are wide open. ”
After speaking, Li Shici clenched his fists, and his right hand groped on the ring finger of his left hand for a while, and he actually made a bunch of wine utensils. "Lao Hua, there are not many rare things in the apprentice, home-brewed brown rice wine, take a sip, comparable to the time of meditating on a stick of incense"
Lao Hua only moved his pace at this time, and his old face smiled and blossomed, and he was not ashamed. Sit on the floor with the precious apprentice he picked up out of nowhere.
However, after three quarters of an hour's effort, the master and apprentice had not been able to enjoy their wine, when they saw a blue-brown cone-shaped rune paper quickly fly from the sky in the distance, dragging out a gray tail flame and enlarging in the pupils of the two.
Lao Hua was like a great enemy, his hands were sealed, and at the same time, a cobweb emitting white crystal flames erupted from his mouth, which was amplified by the wind, but in an instant, it was covered in the surrounding place of the master and apprentice, and this was not over, layer after layer of transparent light curtains continued to hit the two of them with Lao Hua's handprints. From a distance, the two of them were covered in jewels. Those who don't know it think that a treasure was born.
"That's enough, Lao Hua, this is my family's messenger. ”
Li Shici looked helplessly at his master, who had never seen the world, and then a gray beam of light popped out of his left hand, blending into the rune paper that had stopped in front of the two.
In Lao Hua's stunned, the rune paper first crumpled itself into a ball, then tore apart, turning into a gray mist-like text floating in front of the two
"Shici, the young master of the Bian family is about to marry Feng Xiaolian, the eldest disciple of the Nine Swords Sect, and he will go with his father. ”
After a few breaths, this misty text slowly distorted, overlapping into a paper like substance and falling on Li Shici's hand on its own.
Li Shici looked at it intently, and the four big characters of the Bian family's invitation were printed on the paper very clearly and clearly, which turned out to be an invitation.
"This is an opportunity. Li Shici was so excited that he couldn't help himself, "The Bian family is the first family in the southern realm, and if you have the honor to visit, you have to ask a few elders of the Bian family for guidance, and it just so happens that they are also recruiting outstanding juniors in the southern realm, and they are preparing for the big competition in the future year together with the descendants of the Bian family!"
Li Shici said that he was happy, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere now, and when he turned around, he saw that his master had his eyes closed, and his body trembled a little.
"Lao Hua?"
Li Shici is not a wooden person, thinking of the news revealed by the rune paper just now, he thought of various possibilities in his mind. Then he was silent for a while, leaving a sentence that I would go to my father's first, and then turned to leave.
A cool breeze came from the peach forest, and the peach blossoms on the trees seemed to be frightened, and they all trembled.
Lao Hua stood alone by the pavilion and pestle, and the whole person felt a deep coolness. The countless emotions in his mind, mixed with memories, made Lao Hua breathe uneasily.
......
Things have to start with Lao Hua still in the mortal world.
Thirty years ago, Lao Hua, who was in the prime of life, was a well-known local martial arts leader in a county in the Song Kingdom, and he taught many young talents. This made Lao Hua's reputation spread to the imperial city of the Song Kingdom, and the old emperor Li Yide, who was in charge of the six counties in the northern part of the Song Kingdom, once wanted to hire Lao Hua with a lot of money, and appointed Lao Hua as the head of the 3,000 private troops under his command, and he could be the sixth rank in the imperial court.
Lao Hua didn't want to be too far away from home, so he refused directly and gave up the official position that was enough for him to carp to jump into the dragon gate.
Lao Hua's sharp spirit when he was young made him offend many eunuchs. There are many local sects and underground gangs that fight against him.
This kind of righteous and awe-inspiring temperament has also attracted the admiration of many young women. Lao Hua is not a madman who is obsessed with martial arts, he has the emotions that he should have when he was young. Some beautiful women who adored him, he was also moved.
Helplessly, the old mother of the family had a very high vision, and rejected the marriage request of many local clans.
Lao Hua thinks that his martial arts are extraordinary, but he has not reached the point where nine out of ten women in the world are not worthy of him. Therefore, the old mother's vision that she had to let the princess of the imperial city marry gave him a headache.
Until I met her.
The county of Turin borders the county of Xiya, where Lao Hua is located, and was also under the jurisdiction of the prince of the Song State at that time. That year, the Song State and Leizhou were at war. It is said that the cause is related to the disappearance of the son of the chief of the great tribe of Leizhou.
The Song State is located in the extreme south of the Central Plains, and its national strength is at its peak, and it is an ally with all the countries of the Central Plains. The area of Leizhou is as vast as the sea, and it is divided and occupied by sixteen tribes. Over the years, although there have been frequent frictions with the Central Plains, there has never been a war in the Tian'e Mountains that cut deep into the Tian'e Mountains between the Central Plains and Leizhou, which is one of the three dangerous places listed by the world.
Monlba Guchi Doyi, the daughter of the chief of the largest tribe in Leizhou and the sister of the son of the missing chief, did not hesitate to turn against her father, and fled the tribe at night with three close subordinates, spending half a month to cross the Tian'e Mountains. Vows to find the only big brother who is close to him in the tribe.
Duo Yi took his subordinates to pretend to be from the Central Plains and entered the city gate of Yuwen County, the southernmost part of the Song Kingdom. Stayed in a small inn in the middle of nowhere.
Lao Hua happened to be in Yuwen County at this time, and took his disciples to discuss land leasing with the local chamber of commerce.
It turned out that Lao Hua wanted to open a martial arts gym in Yuwen County to expand his fame.
All the restaurants in the city were full, and Lao Hua was not a particularly particular person, so he took his disciples and stayed in the small inn where Duo Yi was.
When Lao Hua saw Duo Yi, Duo Yi was still covered with green gauze, so when she couldn't see her face clearly, the pair of phoenix eyes left a deep enough impression on Lao Hua.
"This old gentleman, don't you mind having a competition?" Duo Yi thought when she heard that Lao Hua and the others were discussing the opening of the museum in the guest hall.
And Lao Hua, who had already paid attention to Duoyi, a graceful woman, an old face full of fine lines immediately tensed, and said reservedly: "This woman, I actually see that your face is faintly radiant, and the cocoon on the palm of your hand can see that you hold a sword all the year round, and when you walk, your steps are always kept at intervals of half a foot, even the hairpin coiled up is composed of three copper needles that have been refined by fire." ”
Lao Hua paused for a while, saw that the woman in front of him was a little surprised, and then talked eloquently: "And although I can't see your true face clearly, the eyes above the veil are full of edge, which can only be practiced after many years of martial arts." ”
Lao Hua became more and more confident, especially in front of the disciples, even more profound.
Brushing his hands behind his back, Lao Hua coughed lightly, and then said: "This woman, a huge treasure land in the Central Plains, there are not many women like you." ”
"Whew!"
Duo Yi didn't wait for Lao Hua to finish speaking, and a slender dagger hidden in his sleeve was on Lao Hua's neck in the blink of an eye.
This conversation has evolved into this situation in just a moment.
Lao Hua's disciples also reacted extremely quickly, and seven or eight kinds of weapons of all kinds were sacrificed almost at the same time.
In the small guest hall, the colorful air refracted by the weapons is as dazzling as fireworks.
Lao Hua opened his eyes slightly, his face was calm, and although he stood in place and did not move, the aura of the grandmaster that was invisibly exuded showed that this dagger did not have any intention of threatening him.
"This woman, I have no ill will. ”
Lao Hua raised the palm of his left hand unhurriedly and pressed it towards the dagger, his five fingers arched in an instant, and the green tendons were exposed. Then release the blade. All this is just a moment, and Lao Hua has already hidden his left hand. It's as if all this is just to show off his skills.
"This woman, so young, may be able to compete with me at this time in another ten years. ”
After Lao Hua finished speaking, he looked at Duoyi with a pair of very intriguing eyes.
Duo Yi was covered with a green veil, and everyone could only see from her panicked eyes that Lao Hua's hand really shocked her.
After a moment, the atmosphere of silence was still broken by Duoyi. Retracting the dagger, Duo Yi turned and walked away, and whispered without looking back: "This dagger is priceless, and it is a gift from my father to protect me. ”
When Duoyi went upstairs and went back to his room, Lao Hua said slowly: "What are you doing with the weapon?"
Without waiting for the disciples to respond, Lao Hua hurriedly ran upstairs and returned to his room.
After rummaging through the cabinet for a while, Lao Hua found a jade pendant in a pale green baggage, and held it in his hand with joy.
"It's her, I don't marry her!" After Lao Hua finished speaking, he turned around and opened the wooden window of his wing, looked in a direction, and said vaguely: "Mother, I can't help you this time." ”
The next day, Lao Hua, who got up early, rarely washed up carefully, took out a razor, and shaved his beard for six or seven years very slowly in front of the bronze mirror. In a moment, the face of a young man who was much younger appeared in the bronze mirror.
Lao Hua, who thought he was ready for everything, changed into a brand new black power suit, with gold lines on both sides of the cuffs. The whole person looks extraordinary.
Duo Yi sat cross-legged on the bed in her room, playing with a dagger with both hands, looking at the four sunken fingerprints on the knife, and fell into deep thought.
"Maybe you can attach yourself to this person and help me find a few more clues that can find my eldest brother. ”
"The ten-year immortal selection competition, in the past few decades, the Central Plains has accounted for most of the quota, and my Leizhou talented and intelligent people are no less than those in the Central Plains. In the last big competition, the Great Immortals in the upper realm actually only picked up two people from Leizhou, dozens of countries in the Central Plains, and as many as thirty-six people were picked away!"
Duo Yi gritted her teeth, her eyes glowed with determination, and she secretly clenched the dagger.
"How do you look at it, if you want to enter the upper realm to train, the chances of being in the Central Plains are much greater!"
A slender jade hand brushed off the veil, and Duoyi's entire face was completely exposed, with phoenix eyes, a pretty nose, and picturesque eyebrows. It's really the first eyebrows, and the smile is smiling.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the wing.
