Chapter 4: The Four Masters of Guangzong
"Bunny, are you going to demolish the house?"
"What the hell!"
"Brother, what are you doing!"
The whole family was alarmed by the loud noise, and some neighbors also ran out and probed their brains outside the yard.
"Don't worry about it, I'm fine!" Chu Qing went crazy and ran back to the room with hoes, pickaxes, shovels, and rakes from the yard, turned around and locked the door, and shouted: "Don't come in!"
The people outside shouted, Chu Qing didn't care, waved his tools and began to carefully clean up the ruined room, no matter what, he had to find the stone coin, even if it was broken and broken, he had to see the fragments before he was willing!
The gravel, dust, and rubble were all cleaned up, and the stone money was still not found......
Where can I go?" Chu Qing sat on the ground patting his head and thinking wildly, and finally he turned his gaze to the bottom of the half-human deep pit, if he couldn't find it down here, then he really didn't know where to look for it.
The soil at the bottom of the pit was dug layer after layer, and the half-man-deep pit was dug into a pit deep for one person, and then dug down, and the hoe dug into the stone, and there was no soil underneath, and it was all mountain rocks.
The coin was lying intact on the stone at the bottom of the pit.
Chu Qing carefully put the stone purse in his arms, and then slipped out of the window at the back of the house, he had to find someone to repair the house, otherwise the consequences would be very serious.
That night, Chu Qing lived in the inn he opened, and the people who repaired the house were all found, and he didn't dare to go back until the house was repaired......
The stone coin was taken out and looked at, and then put away, and then taken out and looked at it, and then put it away, and played with it countless times in one night; this stone would swallow the money, and throw it with such great power that it would enter as soon as it touched the earth, and I don't know what other secrets there are.
In addition to avoiding the trouble of his family, the next two days were fine, and soon it was the day when the four heroes of Guangzong made an appointment to come to visit.
There are not many idlers at the entrance of the village today, it seems that the people of the Linjiang Martial Arts Hall are very tightly blocked this time, Chu Qing is a little disappointed, sitting at the door of the tavern and looking at the road in the distance......
At that time, there was smoke and dust at the end of the road, and soon a man could be seen galloping towards him, and when he approached the entrance of the village, he saw that the person who came was wearing an official uniform and a battle robe, obviously a military general, but he was not wearing armor.
How could an officer come to Fushou Village?
Immediately, someone rushed into the village to inform the village chief and the elders.
"I'm the captain of Guangzong County, Jiang Tianliu!" The person who came shouted: "Who is Chu Qing, please come out and meet!"
"I'm Chu Qing!" Chu Qing stepped forward quickly: "Isn't the official master the four heroes of Guangzong invited by Jiang Tianying?"
"What kind of official, I didn't bring any clothes to wear when I went out, so I had to wear this outfit, just to make an appointment, not for business, you don't have to be stubborn. ”
Chu Qing took a closer look at Jiang Tianliu, this person was very strong with a leopard waist and tiger back, with a heroic appearance, he should be less than thirty years old, and he was majestic on a horse, and looked at the road behind him: "Are there three others who haven't arrived?"
"You don't have to look at it, I'll come by myself. Jiang Tianliu got off the horse.
"Oh, I thought the four heroes of Guangzong would come. Chu Qing said with a smile.
"Haha, the four heroes of Guangzong are all here. Jiang Tianliu laughed and patted his chest: "I am the four masters of Guangzong." ”
Chu Qing suddenly guessed from the weapons carried by Jiang Tianliu's war horse: "Spears, bows and arrows, swords and shields, and chain hammers, collectively known as the Four Masters?"
"Well, that's good. Jiang Tianliu glanced at his war horse, and then looked at Chu Qing: "You reacted quickly." ”
"I don't know if the distinguished guests are coming, I miss the welcome, and the old man is late......" Chu Heng, the village head, and several elders were hurrying towards the entrance of the village.
Chu Qingrang to the side and watched his father take a few respected elders in the village to bow to Jiang Tianliu, there was no way, what the village family was most afraid of was dealing with the official family, especially the officers.
Several old men invited Jiang Tianliu into the village, and Jiang Tianliu waved his hand: "I have official business, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, the old men are resting on the side, there is no need to bother again." ”
Chu Heng retreated to the side with a few old men, and Jiang Tianliu stepped forward and hugged Chu Qing's fist: "Let's start now!"
Before Chu Qing could speak, Chu Heng stepped forward and pointed at his son and scolded: "How dare you do it with him, have you kid been crazy recently!"
Jiang Tianliu was displeased, glared and said, "What, do you have to take care of the affairs of me and this little brother!"
Chu Qing rolled his eyelids and said helplessly: "He's my father." ”
"Oh......" Jiang Tianliu coughed a few times dryly, and squeezed a smile at Chu Heng: "Don't worry, we are just friends and learn from each other, and no one will be hurt until the point is reached." ”
Chu Heng sighed, glared at his son again, turned around and entered the village, no longer caring about these worries.
Jiang Tianliu immediately took down a few of his weapons from the middle battle horse, and said bluntly: "What I have practiced since I was a child is these skills in battlefield warfare, I can't use things like bamboo knives and bamboo swords, do you have suitable weapons?"
Chu Qing smiled: "You are casual, I never use weapons when fighting with others." ”
Jiang Tianliu thought for a while and said, "It's okay, then I'll try your strength first, how about it?"
"Okay. Chu Qing stretched out his arms and said, "Please!"
Jiang Tianliuhu stepped forward and stretched out his arms, the four arms touched together, and the faces of the two became solemn......
This Jiang Tianliu has a lot of strength, Chu Qing used a bear-shaped huge force to contend with it, and he was still slightly inferior, so he had to use his true qi to regain the initiative with his qi power, and Jiang Tianliu was able to run his true qi and push it back.
Chu Qing has never used True Qi in his life, because if the opponent is too weak, it is easy to use True Qi to make him suffer internal injuries, but today he can finally fight with all his strength!
The two heads stalemate for a pillar of incense, regardless of victory or defeat, Jiang Tianliu said slowly: "I don't have much time, how about a draw in terms of strength?"
"Good. Chu Qing was also polite: "Your own strength is greater than mine, but your true qi cultivation is not as good as mine, and the draw is very fair!"
"Not bad!" Jiang Tianliu also liked Chu Qing to be so direct.
The two rested for a while, Jiang Tianliu picked up the longbow, put the quiver behind his back, and said proudly: "My bow, these twenty-four golden arrows, no one can win against me, including you." ”
Chu Qing just smiled and did not comment.
"Then I'll show you a demonstration. Jiang Tianliu said that he opened the bow and shot continuously, he fired very quickly, and it was not a shot of one arrow, sometimes two, sometimes three, sometimes one, swish, in the blink of an eye, all twenty-four golden arrows were shot, and these arrows were all nailed to the same tree without exception, and penetrated deep into the trunk, leaving only the arrow feathers outside.
Chu Qing was surprised, how could the arrows shot by this guy have such strong penetrating power, he stepped forward to take a closer look, and couldn't help but smack his tongue, the general arrows are also arrows forged from steel, and these arrows and arrowheads with arrow shafts are all made of stainless steel and decorated with gilt patterns, such heavy arrows, such a fast rate of fire, such accurate archery, such a powerful penetrating power......
"How should you deal with my archery skills?" Jiang Tianliu asked with a smile.
Chu Qing knew that he had lost this game, but since it was a competition, he also had to show his hand, and at the moment he used the ape shape and the crane shape, demonstrating a vertical jump shuttle, dodging and moving.
"His body is really good, but he can't dodge my twenty-four golden arrows. Jiang Tianliu said bluntly.
"Yes, you win this game, and then compare and compare. Chu Qing nodded.
Jiang Tianliu put down the longbow, picked up the spear, and said with a smile: "Try my marksmanship?"
Chu Qing lost a game, and he no longer fought empty-handed, so he found a three-foot-long sickle and grabbed it in his hand: "Come on!"
Jiang Tianliu shook off the spear and stabbed it, and a spear danced like a dragon turning over the river and the sea; Chu Qing responded with an ape-like and tiger-like approach, and the sickle hooked the barrel of the spear so that the opponent could not use it with all his might.
Jiang Tianliu wanted to widen the distance between him and Chu Qing, but he was not as fast as Chu Qing's body method, and the spear was suitable for immediate use, and it was difficult to use it when he encountered an opponent like Chu Qing in foot combat.
After fighting for more than a dozen rounds, Jiang Tianliu simply admitted defeat.
The two were tied again.
In the fourth game, Jiang Tianliu changed to a sword and shield, holding a steel knife in his right hand and a copper shield in his left hand, and Chu Qing still fought with a sickle.
This game lasted a long time, but it was always impossible to tell the winner from defeat, Chu Qing couldn't break through Jiang Tianliu's defense, and Jiang Tianliu couldn't keep up with Chu Qing's style.
"If this game is not played, how about a draw?" Jiang Tianliu didn't have much time to delay, he came to Jiang County on an important business trip, and he was responsible for escorting military salaries and grain and grass back to Guangzong County, if he wasn't born to be a martial arts idiot, he wouldn't have left half a step at all.
Chu Qing nodded, there will be no result in fighting like this, unless someone is willing to take the risk of fighting, but that will obviously cause casualties on one of the sides, and the general competition will naturally not do this.
In the fifth game, Jiang Tianliu untied the chain hammer on his waist, ran his true qi and danced a few rounds, and shouted: "This game is decided, you can be careful!"
Chu Qing looked at the sickle in his hand, shook his head, and threw it aside, dealing with the chain hammer, a strange weapon, he still grasped it empty-handed.
Jiang Tianliu danced the chain hammer with true qi, and the chain hammer was like a strange python, shaking its head and tail, and it could attack from any angle at any time, making people unable to guard against it.
Chu Qing fought against him in the shape of a deer and a crane, and his true qi was the strongest in these two states, and it could also be said that he completely used his true qi as a weapon to compete.
No matter what direction Jiang Tianliu danced the chain hammer to attack from, or what strange changes were hidden, Chu Qing responded to all changes with no change, and just used his true qi to swing the opponent's attack back.
Jiang Tianliu was very surprised by Chu Qing's true qi cultivation, he was almost twice as old as Chu Qing, and he was used to fighting and fighting, and his actual combat ability was much higher than Chu Qing's, but at this time, there was no way to take Chu Qing.
However, Chu Qing had other ideas, he had already seen that Jiang Tianliu was actually inferior to himself in terms of cultivation, but he was also very close; such an opponent could not bring him the enlightenment of higher realm cultivation, but he was also the strongest person he had seen in his life, and he was somewhat sympathetic.
Jiang Tianliu couldn't win the battle for a long time, and he was not in the mood to fight any more, so he took a few steps back, collected his weapon, and said with a smile: "This game is still a draw, Brother Chu has such cultivation at a young age, and the future is bound to be limitless!"
Chu Qing smiled and thought about it again: "Brother Jiang's skills are profound, and the younger brother admires it, but I forgive the younger brother for being reckless, and I secretly think that if Brother Jiang's four masters can be fused into two masters, I am afraid that my skills can be further improved." ”
Jiang Tianliu was stunned for a moment, that kid actually dared to point out his martial arts, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said happily: "You mean that the four heroes are fused into two masters, horse battle and foot battle?"
Chu Qing laughed: "Dealing with someone like Brother Jiang is a pleasure, and you can get through it at one point!"
The two exchanged a few more words, Jiang Tianliu returned to Cheng Cheng with a heart, so he stopped being verbose and began to pack up his weapons, Chu Qing also wanted to help him get the twenty-four golden arrows back, but he didn't want those stainless steel arrows to completely penetrate into the trunk and couldn't pull them out at all......
"Haha, I can't pull out this arrow myself, you get out of the way!" Jiang Tianliu laughed and stepped forward to pick up the steel knife and slashed at the trunk......
There is such an arrow pulled, Chu Qing can be regarded as opening his eyes.
