No. 69: Old news in the rivers and lakes, two great swordsmen

......

Under the porch, wooden tables, small stools.

Lin Lan and Qiu Laohan sat opposite each other, and the two drank wine and ate meat.

The old man in Qiu eats rudely, and Lin Lan eats quite well.

Old Man Qiu didn't like it, and said: "Oh, you kid, you have to hold a shelf when you eat, alas, can you live happily like this?"

Lin Lan smiled, raised his glass and saluted Old Man Qiu: "Senior, the kid respects you!" He raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

Old Man Qiu shook his head again and again, took a small sip of the wine glass, then closed his eyes, smacked his mouth, and looked like he was savoring, "This is the old man who has buried the flower carving for more than 40 years, if it weren't for the phantom and the old immortal called you to come and see me, I would never take it out and drink it!"

Lin Lan looked ashamed and said, "Senior Qiu, kid...... I don't know how to taste wine. ”

Old Qiu Han said: "The phantom old immortal didn't teach you?"

Lin Lan was stunned for a moment and said, "Family teacher...... The tutor is a monk, how can he know how to drink?"

Old Man Qiu's closed old eyes opened, glanced at Lin Lan, and said with a smile: "Haha, the phantom old immortal doesn't drink?" Haha, boy, you are still too young, how much can you know about the past of the rivers and lakes?"

Lin Lan was curious.

In fact, he was indeed very curious about the Phantom Monk he met by chance in the back mountain of Shaolin and was selected as his successor.

The Illusory Monk is what Lin Lan called him, and in Shaolin, all the monks, from the abbot to the little novice, didn't know about his existence!

Now the abbot of Shaolin, who ranks empty characters, is already an old monk who is nearly eighty years old!

Lin Lan's eyes lit up and asked, "Senior, ...... the family teacher go over?"

"What? That old immortal didn't tell you?"

"Well, no, whenever the kid asks, the master closes his eyes and ignores me!"

"Alas!~" The old man sighed, shook his head, and took a sip of wine, no longer interested in savoring it.

"Senior!" Lin Lan shouted softly.

Old Man Qiu glanced at him and said, "Let's not talk about this, it's rare for someone to come to eat with the old man, let's talk about something else!"

"Okay. Lin Lan was slightly disappointed.

Old Man Qiu got up and brought him a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Taste this cup slowly." ”

Lin Lan stood up flattered, and waited for the old man to sit down, and then sat down.

Old Man Qiu squinted and smiled, looked at Lin Lan, and asked, "Illusory Shadow Immortal, what martial arts did you teach?"

Lin Lan hesitated slightly.

Old Man Qiu smiled disdainfully: "Don't be struggling, you kid, what kind of kung fu that old immortal will do, I know better than you, who is an apprentice." ”

Lin Lan said in her heart: "Yes, Master and this senior Qiu are old friends, so they are naturally familiar with each other, so I am careful!"

Thinking about this, he replied truthfully: "The kid is a lay disciple in Shaolin, learned introductory kung fu, and later had to teach the strong King Kong boxing, ten years ago he worshipped the family master as a teacher, and he had to teach a light body kung fu to cross the river with a reed." ”

Old Man Qiu said: "Then the old immortal taught you to cross the river with one reed at a time?"

Lin Lan said: "Yes, I went to Houshan ten years ago...... Well, I accidentally met Master, Master used a reed to cross the river to scare me, I don't want me to disturb his cultivation, I only saw a series of empty figures floating around, as if I had seen a ghost in the daytime......"

Old Man Qiu smiled: "You kid was scared silly, right?"

Lin Lan was slightly embarrassed and said: "At that time, the kid was ignorant, thinking that he was obsessed with practicing martial arts, and his eyes were dazzled, so he sat down and recited the Diamond Sutra. ”

A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the old man Qiu, and he said, "Your kid's reaction is quite unexpected!"

Lin Lan nodded and said, "The kid recited the Diamond Sutra three times in one breath with his eyes closed, and then he opened his eyes again, and saw that the master was already standing a foot in front of me, and I don't know when he stopped and how long he stood there, and I didn't hear a sound at all." ”

Old Man Qiu snorted twice and said, "Don't say that your cultivation ten years ago, even now, if you close your eyes, you won't hear a single sound, hehe, that old immortal light martial arts body method ......"

Lin Lan was curious: "How?"

Although the Phantom Divine Monk passed on him to cross the river with a reed, he only saw him when he first saw him, and the later teachings were all oral, and then Lin Lan practiced and practiced to show him, and he gave him instructions again, but he did not use it, because Lin Lan actually did not know the martial arts realm of the Phantom Divine Monk, and only knew that it was extremely high and extremely high.

Qiu Laohan smiled and said: "Your master has never entered the rivers and lakes, otherwise, hehe, a name that is the best in the world of light skills is indispensable." ”

Lin Lan was taken aback and said, "Family teacher...... So powerful?"

Old Man Qiu shook his head and said, "More than forty years ago, there were two supreme swordsmen on the rivers and lakes, and your master had studied with them. ”

Lin Lan listened to him talk about the old news of the rivers and lakes, and listened with interest, "Who are the two supreme swordsmen?

Qiu Laohan seemed to have lived alone for a long time, no one talked to him for a long time, as soon as the conversation box was opened, it was a little difficult to collect, and his mind returned to the rivers and lakes more than forty years ago, and said: "The two top swordsmen, one is called Dugu to seek defeat......

When Lin Lan heard this name, she couldn't help but be shocked, and said in her heart: "Dugu...... Defeat, what an arrogant name!"

"This Dugu seeks defeat, from Heshuo to the Yangtze River, and from Jiangnan to Lingnan, crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, killing all the enemies and traitors, defeating all the heroes and heroes, invincible in the world, because he is alone, arrogant, obsessed with swordsmanship, and almost into a demon, so the rivers and lakes gave him a title......" Qiu Laohan seemed to remember the demeanor of this Dugu seeking defeat in the past, and paused when he said this.

Lin Lan was also attracted by this story of Dugu's defeat, and asked, "What title?"

Old Man Qiu took a sip of wine and said word by word: "...... Sword, Demon!"

Lin Lan said: "Sword Demon Dugu seeks defeat?!"

Old Man Qiu said: "Not bad!"

Lin Lan was puzzled and asked: "Senior Qiu, it's very common to kill vengeful traitors on the rivers and lakes, and it's not uncommon to challenge famous heroes, even if you are obsessed with swordsmanship, you can't be guilty of naming the word 'demon', right?"

Old Man Qiu laughed twice and said, "That's because this Dugu is seeking defeat, and it is rumored that he is a master of the Demon Sect!"

"Demon Sect Master?" Lin Lan was surprised again, although the rivers and lakes were still full of disputes, but he had never heard of the Demon Sect.

Old Man Qiu laughed twice and said, "Speaking of this Demon Sect, then we have to talk about the rivers and lakes more than a hundred years ago...... Boy, have you heard of the Nine Yin True Scripture?"

Lin Lan frowned slightly, and said: "Of course I've heard that this scripture is a secret book of martial arts, and it once provoked all parties in the rivers and lakes to fight and kill each other!"

Old Man Qiu nodded, "Then do you know who this scripture comes from?"

Lin Lan shook his head and said, "The kid doesn't know. ”
