Sigh life, unsatisfactory things, often eight or nine times out of ten.

In the crackling sound of rain, I suddenly heard a few whistles in the distance, three long and two short, and the sound was sharp. After a while, I heard a man in the southeast corner not far away, rushing towards the boat in the rain.

Lu Man'e frowned slightly, got up and blocked in front of Chen Xiuyuan, picked up an emerald green oil-paper umbrella from the corner of the rear cabin, turned around and walked out of the canopy, opened the oil-paper umbrella, and stood on the bow of the boat, with fluttering clothes in the wind and rain, really like a Lingbo fairy. His right hand gestured towards the cabin behind his back, shook it behind him, and motioned for Chen Xiuyuan to stay in the cabin and keep quiet.

After a while, I heard the footsteps gradually approaching, and the footsteps seemed to be a foot deep and a shallow foot under the man's feet, dragging mud and water, and panicking. Before the man approached, he heard Lu Man's clear voice say, "Is there something going on in Liu Yetai?" Although she didn't see her shouting, but at this time, the heavy rain was pouring down, but Lu Man's words covered the sound of the rain for a while, and it was transmitted far away.

Chen Xiuyuan's heart was shocked when he heard this, and his heart was like boiling water for a while, eager to understand. But the person who came didn't have the skills of Lu Man, and couldn't send the voice so far in the pouring rain, and went straight to the lakeside boat, only then did he hear a woman's voice reply: "Back to the head, Uncle Liu is all right, but there are people in the southeast of the land Gonggong Temple who are fighting, Granny Kang asked me to report to the head of the house, and ask the head to decide." ”

Lu Man frowned slightly, "um", and only said to her lightly: "Got it." Lu Man was very sharp-eyed, his heart was as fine as a hair, and by the dim light of the lantern on the bow of the boat, he saw that there were many muddy water spots splashed on the hem of her clothes, shoes and skirts, and knew that she was very hard-working, and was sent by Granny Kang to report the news in the rain, and said gently: "You lead the way in front and lead me over to see, well, don't leave me too far, too...... Don't look back......"

The woman respectfully agreed, "Yes." Then he turned around and walked in the southeast direction without hurrying, and did not dare to turn around and look back again.

At this time, Chen Xiuyuan suddenly blurted out: "I'll go with you!" Lu Man hesitated slightly and said, "Okay." Chen Xiuyuan jumped out of the cabin, disembarked side by side with Lu Man, and followed the woman a few feet away.

The oil-paper umbrella was small, Chen Xiuyuan didn't dare to support it with Lu Man, and after a while, his whole body was drenched in heavy rain, and the water droplets kept flowing down his face. Chen Xiuyuan didn't dare to shake his body and shake off some of the water, for fear of splashing the rain on Lu Man.

Just as the rain was flowing down his forehead into his eyes, Chen Xiuyuan suddenly felt that the rain above his head had stopped, and it turned out that Lu Man seemed to inadvertently tilt the small paper umbrella and cover it above his head, but his eyes were looking straight ahead, staring closely at the back of the person in front of him, his pretty face was red, and he didn't glance at him. As a result, Lu Man's shoulders were wet with raindrops.

At this time, the two of them were very close, although in the rain, Chen Xiuyuan still smelled a faint aroma in his mouth and nose, and he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and he felt that his face was burning red, and he hurriedly retreated slightly in the rain on the side, but when he retreated, the umbrella above his head suddenly moved over, still covering the top of his head. Lu Man's body did not move at all, still moving forward seemingly carelessly, so that the right half of her body was exposed more outside the umbrella.

Chen Xiuyuan didn't dare to move anymore, the three of them were extremely fast, and Lu Man's body was even more light, as if he was similar to each other. In the blink of an eye, the three of them had passed through several secluded alleys and came beyond a half-collapsed earthen wall.

At this time, the heavy rain was pouring down, and the footsteps of the three people had been completely drowned. The woman in front of her had already run to the earthen wall, but she still didn't look back and disappeared behind the earthen wall. Lu Man put away the paper fan, and Chen Xiuyuan also crossed the wall side by side, landing silently in the dark, grass grew all over the wall, and the two of them lay down under a wall, but they could take a little shelter from the rain for a while.

Behind the earthen wall, there is a dilapidated land temple under a large locust tree in the southeast corner, and two big red candles on the incense table in the temple illuminate the temple brightly. I think the land is not high, the land temple is very simple, only a small tile house, in front of the two wooden beams pasted a red background black couplet, in the wind and rain has been quite dilapidated, through the candlelight in the temple faintly visible above is written on the upper couplet: father-in-law is very fair, lower link: mother-in-law a mother-in-law. The two thought that this couplet was also very interesting, looking at this couplet, it turned out that the small temple was still enshrined in the land mother-in-law.

There were more than a dozen people gathered in the small land temple, and there were two small colonels dressed in military clothes standing upright in the west, their eyes did not squint, as if they had been caught in the acupoints, motionless, and only blinked their eyelids after a long time. Next to the two stood a man, dressed strangely, as if Zhang Fei was wearing Kong Ming's clothes, with a weapon tied around his waist, and the blade was curved like a sword. The man was very majestic, and when he went to the temple, he was like a statue of a god. When Chen Xiuyuan saw it, he couldn't help but praise in his heart: Good guy, so majestic! It is really similar to a martial artist and a general on the stage.

Among the first few people in the east, one of the first two had a sharp beak monkey gills, his eyes were facing forward, the interval between his sockets was narrow, and he was dressed in a golden silk robe, which was dazzling in the light of candlelight;

Chen Xiuyuan and Lu Man felt funny when they saw the strange appearance of these two. Lu Man whispered to Chen Xiuyuan and said: "These two people are like each other, one of them seems to be a member of the Great Sage, I heard that their head is nicknamed 'Havoc Heavenly Palace'...... I don't know the other person. Chen Xiuyuan let out a "hmm" sound, looked at the "big nose", only to see that he was holding a handful of thorns in each hand, looked back at Lu Man with a smile, and laughed in a low voice: "Do you understand what I mean, do you know what I am thinking at this time?"

Lu Man looked at the thorn in the man's hand, then looked at the strange look on Chen Xiuyuan's face, and said with a smile: "Phew, he's not my Emei disciple, you came to make fun of me again, and you said in your heart that someone else dares to make the 'Emei thorn' here, right?"

Chen Xiuyuan couldn't help but stick out his tongue as he learned from the "big nose", made a grimace, and said in a low voice: "You are really powerful, you can understand what others are thinking at a glance." ”

Lu Man blushed again, and was amused by his grimace and smiled slightly, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore.

At this time, I only heard the "big nose" say: "You...... You...... You ......" When everyone heard this, it turned out to be a stammer, thinking that his tongue was too big, but he became stuttering when he spoke. The thin man of the Great Holy Gate seemed to be very anxious, seeing that his speech was blurred, his face was red and his ears were red, he couldn't speak for a long time, scratched the back of his head, and said, "General, what are you waiting for, please please." The man spoke fluently, but it sounded a little too fast.

The "general" snorted heavily in his nose and said, "Just rely on these few pieces of your material to dare to come and invite you to force an invitation, who do you think Lao Tzu is?" The "big nose" said: "Toast, toast...... Don't eat...... You ......" At this time, everyone knew that he was going to say "eat and drink", and the thin man from the Great Holy Gate rushed to say on his behalf: "Okay, it seems that the general does not appreciate his face, but is going to eat and drink." The "general" had not yet answered, but the "big nose" hurriedly said, "Yes......"

The "general" seemed to feel very impatient, unwilling to talk to them anymore, pulled out the curved sword at his waist and the sword with the sheath, and with a brush, it was extremely swift and cut into the neck of the "big nose", this sword was really fast to the extreme, and ruthless to the extreme, even Chen Xiuyuan and Lu Man were surprised, and Chen Xiuyuan was almost exclaimed and cheered. Only heard the sound of "dang", at this time, everyone took a closer look, it turned out that the "big nose" seemed to be wearing a black steel ring around the neck, and the "general" sword slashed on the steel ring, and the remaining momentum was not weakened, and the body of the "big nose" flew out to the right.

The rest of the people were shocked when they saw that his swordsmanship was so powerful. Pulling out his blade, his mouth began to vibrate with words, as if he was chanting some incantation loudly, and in an instant, he was like a madman, desperately slamming his edge and attacking the "great general". At this time, the two colonels beside the "great general" were still motionless in the shadow of swords and swords, and if they didn't look closely, they would hardly even blink their eyelids.

Lu Man could hear them chanting the mantra, but he said "huh" softly.

The "great general" saw that they suddenly fought for their lives, but they seemed to be accustomed to it, and shouted loudly in their mouths, as if the thunder in the sky sounded, and the sword moves were fierce and concise, and the moves only attacked the enemy's vital points, both accurate and ruthless, one sword and one sword, and there was no second move, like the power of thunder, when the invincible, several people were beaten to the ground. Only the thin man of the Great Holy Gate was extremely agile with his hands and feet, and his body was slippery, although the two of them with a steel ring around their necks were strange and funny, but their martial arts were really good, and they would not be hit by the sword of the "great general" for a while.

Chen Xiuyuan and Lu Man hid behind the long grass, and looked at the sword moves of the "great general", which seemed to be all practiced from actual combat, and the moves did not follow the routine, but they were already self-contained, and they were regarded as first-class swordsmanship, and they were secretly admired in their hearts.

At this time, the "great general" fought vigorously, and pulled the curved sword out of its sheath with a bang, and the blade of the sword was everywhere, and the thin man of the Great Holy Gate was cut off a large piece of the back of his right hand with the belt and flesh by the curved sword, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and the blood was forested. The thin man of the Great Holy Gate screamed miserably, and hurriedly jumped backwards far away, and this backward leap showed quite a clever light skill. The "big general" did not pursue, the curved sword casually waved a few inches around the "big nose", and a cold light forced the "big nose" to not move at all, and the "general" then swept him to the ground with a sweeping leg, and then stood up, stepped on the chest of the "big nose", raised the curved sword in his right hand, aimed at the steel ring in his neck, and shouted angrily: "See if I can cut it this time...... Cut off your dog's head!" and although he was furious, his eyes were full of mockery, and he actually learned the stuttering of the "big nose".

The thin man of the Great Holy Gate was shocked, and shouted in his mouth: "Eleventh Brother ......" but he was taken by the momentum of the "Great General", not only did he not dare to rush forward to save him, but he couldn't help but take a few steps backwards under his feet. At this time, remembering the friendship with him, regardless of the serious injury on his hand, he did not think about whether the palm of his right hand could be preserved, and he couldn't help but have two tears in his eyes, and shouted in his mouth: "Eleventh brother, at this moment, I will kill him again in vain, and when I go and invite ten brothers and sisters, I will kill him again to avenge you, and after I have avenged him, I will kill myself again!" If you don't believe it, the general, you will kill me, my right hand is gone, and I will exchange my life for my eleventh brother's life, will this be all right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was moved, but they didn't expect this person to be very righteous. Chen Xiuyuan couldn't help but respect him in his heart.

The "general" said: "Well, you are a good man, I don't want to hurt his life, but I still have to cut this sword, and see if my sword can cut off this neck." ”

At this time, Chen Xiuyuan suddenly whispered to Lu Man: "I ......" As soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Man casually continued: "It's okay, you are happy to see Hunting, do you want to try the 'Su Ni Sword'?" Chen Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh "sigh". It turned out that he just wanted to say that since the two of them were so righteous, he might as well save them, and see how sharp this "Suni" sword was compared to the curved sword of the "great general". Unexpectedly, before the words came out, Lu Man expected it again, and said it first, Chen Xiuyuan thought to himself: Alas, if you can get a confidante like this, what more can you ask for? I saw Lu Manqiao's face flushed, and he said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't know why I don't want to fight anymore today......

Chen Xiuyuan was stunned, and didn't have time to think about what she meant by this, and was about to grow out of the grass, but he heard the "big nose" say angrily: "You splash monkey, you are a monkey learning to walk...... I don't know why he knew that his life was in an instant, but he didn't stutter, but this sentence was still only half a sentence, and everyone was stunned, and he couldn't guess what he wanted to say in the second half of the sentence, even the "big general" stopped his sword and didn't swing, curious to hear what he meant by this strange sentence.

At this time, Chen Xiuyuan saw that the "great general" did not cut off the sword, so he didn't get up in a hurry, turned his head to look at Lu Man, but said in his heart: What does he mean by this strange sentence? Lu Man understood what he meant, and said softly: "I don't understand other people's thoughts, I only ......" said and lowered his head slightly, his jade cheeks were surprisingly red, and he knew that he had said the wrong thing......

After a while, I heard the "big nose" take a long breath, and then shouted in one breath: "Pretend, you, you want to go...... Go quickly, and avenge me in the future!" Then everyone realized that he was going to say, "Monkeys learn to walk—fake orangutans."

At this time, Chen Xiuyuan no longer hesitated, pulled out the Suni Sword with a "swish", and rose from the grass. He shouted, "General, look at the sword!" A white rainbow slashed towards the curved sword held high by the general. The general backhanded a sword, and the curved sword slashed from Chen Xiuyuan's unexpected direction, with a soft sound of "ding", the two swords intersected, and his mouth praised: "Hey, sword, sword!" At this time, Chen Xiuyuan had to unfold the "Dharma Sword Technique" and fight with the general in a compact and abnormal manner.

At this time, the thin man of the Great Holy Gate didn't dare to be reckless, and hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the general was entangled by Chen Xiuyuan, stretched out his left hand and pulled up the "big nose", anxious like a lost dog, panicked like a "monkey" that slipped through the net, and led a group of people to slip away.

Chen Xiuyuan was fighting with the great general at this time, and he was at the forefront at this moment, so he really knew how powerful his swordsmanship was. I couldn't help but secretly complain in my heart, Lu Man had already said in advance, I didn't want to make a move today, I didn't want to be strong, I didn't want to be able to block the general's sword moves, at this time, in front of Lu Man, a great expert in swords, although I didn't want to lose, but I couldn't fall into the majesty of Shaolin swordsmanship.

Chen Xiuyuan's distraction was even more disadvantaged. Lu Man was also secretly frightened behind the grass, with a golden needle in his sleeve, ready to help at any time.

Sure enough, the general shouted: "The sword is a sword, and the skill is good, but this swordsmanship is not very clever!" He spoke, and the curved sword in his hand was not slow at all, and he made a ruthless move, attacking Chen Xiuyuan's vital points, as long as Chen Xiuyuan was slightly negligent, there would be a catastrophe immediately. At this time, Chen Xiuyuan's move "turning back is the shore" has not yet turned around, and the general has already slashed at his head and neck with a quick and incoherent sword. had to change it halfway to a move "a stick of incense to the sky" and put up the blade to seal it in front of him, but the general was waiting for him to make half of it, and the backhand was another trick of the strange sword from top to bottom.

Chen Xiuyuan often used half of his sword moves, and was forced to be restrained by the general with strange moves that had no signs to follow, and had to change his moves to block, and the swordsmanship could not be deployed, so how could Chen Xiuyuan not be defeated in such a sword fight?

Chen Xiuyuan only felt that the cold sweat on his back was straight down, his right hand made the sword, and the left hand "exhaled" a palm slapped out, the general knew that it was powerful, and he avoided it sideways, and the curved sword could no longer greet Chen Xiuyuan. Chen Xiuyuan knew at this moment that he would never be good in terms of swordsmanship alone, so he simply held a sword in his palm, a palm in his sword, a long sword in his right hand stabbed directly, and his left hand was raised.

But Chen Xiuyuan jumped backwards, floated away, and the long sword in his hand ended with a move of "taking refuge in my Buddha". He said loudly: "I have never seen the height of the sword technique in Xia, Ling Zai Xia is very impressed, this sword fight is lost in Xia!" At this time, there seemed to be a green cloud floating out from behind the grass, blocking Chen Xiuyuan's body, it was Lu Man. She was afraid that the other party would pursue, so she used the paper umbrella in her hand as a sword and pointed obliquely at the general.
