Chapter 63: A Chance Encounter
Half a day later, Yue Buqun went out of the deep mountains and forests, went on the official road to the east, and went straight to Fujian and Jiangsu.
Although the purpose of Yue Buqun's trip was not completed, and he only grabbed half of the Star Absorbing Great * Law cheats, but if I did it, I only relied on the upper half of the Star Absorbing Great * Law, and I would definitely not be able to cultivate. Therefore, in the first confrontation between the two, it is still Yue Buqun who has the upper hand. Moreover, as the strongest master that Yue Buqun has encountered so far, although the martial arts of Ren Xing have not exceeded Yue Buqun's imagination, they are also really fierce and fierce, especially the rich experience of fighting the enemy accumulated by Ren Xing after a long time of fighting, which makes Yue Buqun even more difficult to match. Yue Buqun thought to himself, even if his skills are on par with Ren Xing, I am afraid that he is the same as the previous fight, he can only rely on the sharp and agile Huashan swordsmanship, and he will be entangled with Ren Xing in a short period of time and be undefeated, and he may occasionally gain the upper hand, but after a long time, he will definitely be exposed to the flaws of Ren Xing, who has rich combat experience, and he will be completely forced to lose the upper hand, and it is almost possible to defeat Ren Xing!
Therefore, after Yue Buqun memorized the second half of the star-absorbing method in his hand and destroyed the secret book, he did not rush back to Huashan, but planned to walk the southeast coastal generation as a Jinyi guard, one used the name of the government to hunt and kill some vicious Jiangyang thieves and green forest bandits, and fought with the masters to hone their martial arts and gain experience;
Today's southeast coastal generation has just ended the plague of the Ming Dynasty that began at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the best period of development for a hundred wastes to be rebuilt. However, the Japanese invaders have been wreaking havoc on the southeast coast for nearly two hundred years, with deep roots and many masters, even though Qi Jiguang is worthy of a generation of famous generals, he can only lead the army to sweep away the large number of Japanese robbers who gather the crowd to cause trouble, and the few Japanese masters who are strong in martial arts and good at hiding can only be suppressed by the military and temporarily expelled, but cannot be killed. Therefore, after Qi Jiguang and most of the Qi family army moved north to Liaodong, those Japanese masters each more or less gathered some remnants of the Japanese Kou, either occupying the mountains as robbers, or entering the sea as thieves, or wandering around and plundering. Although these thieves are no longer able to openly confront the government as before because of the lack of numbers, if the government wants to exterminate them, it is like burning weeds, and they will not be able to get rid of them.
After Yue Buqun arrived in Guangzhou from Kunming, he followed the coastline towards Fuzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and along the way, according to the information provided by the local Jinyi Wei Baihu, he constantly intercepted and killed those Japanese masters and tempered his martial arts and swordsmanship. It's just that to Yue Buqun's surprise, nearly half of these Japanese masters are Han Chinese, that is, the so-called fake Japanese pirates, in fact, not only Han giant businessmen such as Wang Zhi and Xu Hai joined the plundering of the Japanese pirates, but even many martial arts cults and masters of the side door in Middle Earth also participated in the evil deeds of the Japanese robbing coastal states and counties under the influence of profit.
Many of these fake Japanese masters have already learned the Dongying kendo that was circulated by the Japanese and switched to the Dongying katana, even if those who still use the Central Plains martial arts, their martial arts moves are also greatly influenced by the Dongying martial arts, and they have also become ruthless and ruthless, and the pursuit of the ultimate attack power has gradually deviated from the mainstream of the Middle Earth martial arts.
In particular, Yue Buqun had met a master of Middle Earth who had been practicing Dongyingju Hedao swordsmanship for many years in Zhangzhou, and under the other party's unexpected superb sword drawing technique, Yue Buqun did not have time to draw his sword, and almost capsized in the gutter, fortunately, Yue Buqun put a lot of thought into the eagle claw skill, and at the critical moment, with the strong Zixia strength, he grabbed the back of the opponent's knife dangerously, and then launched a counterattack, clawing the master with the power of thunder.
Afterwards, Yue Buqun still couldn't help but be drenched in cold sweat on his back, and he was very afraid, and at the same time he was very interested in Dongying kendo, the famous Japanese kendo of Iaido, Yidaoliu, Yanagi Xinyin and other schools, although Yue Buqun had never seen it in later generations, he had also heard of it, and now he had the opportunity to see these different swordsmanship of Middle-earth martial arts, of course Yue Buqun would not let it go. Therefore, after that, Yue Buqun always paid special attention to the Japanese masters who were good at Dongying Kendo along the way, and when they fought, they not only maintained an aggressive oppressive momentum, but also repeatedly released water quietly, so that the other party could try his best to perform the subtle moves in Dongying Kendo for him to observe and speculate.
By the time he got to the Putian area of Fuzhou, Yue Buqun had already fought with more than a dozen Japanese masters who could get into the eyes, and the number of Japanese swordsmen and minions who didn't reach the eyes was even more than several times. After the frequent killings, even though Yue Buqun's spiritual cultivation was not low, his body couldn't help but be contaminated with a bit of cold and murderous aura, and a pair of neutral and peaceful eyes also became shining, and an invisible sharp sword intent emanated from it, making people dare not look directly. Equipped with a majestic Jinyi Guard Captain Flying Fish Suit and a dark mask like a hungry ghost in hell, Yue Buqun's body momentum at this time was infinitely close to the legendary Jinyi Guard's fierce and vicious image of the Imperial Court Eagle Dog!
The night is like ink, and the moon is hazy.
On the official road leading from Putian to Fuzhou, the shadows of swords and singles flickered and stirred, and the shouts of exhalation and reprimand were endless, and more than a dozen people were divided into two groups to fight.
On the hillside not far from here, Yue Buqun hid behind a two-person high boulder, quietly watching the fierce battle in the field.
Judging from the costumes of these people, one of the six people, bald monks, holding ring sticks, is obviously a group of middle-aged monks, and their stick method is very much the shadow of Shaolin martial arts, and between advance and retreat, it is quite a military formation style, murderous, Yue Buqun knows with his toes that they can only be the warrior monks of Shaolin Temple in Putian, and they are likely to have participated in Qi Jiguang's battle of Pingwei. There are eight people on the other side, young and old, with messy clothes and ornaments, but they all have more or less Dongying style, and the katana in their hands is needless to say, they are the masters who escaped by luck among the large group of Japanese robbers who were killed by Qi Jiguang.
However, although everyone's martial arts on the Japanese side are not inferior to those of the warrior monks, and there are two more than the warrior monks, they have never gained the upper hand, and I am afraid that there is still a stalemate between the two sides. The reason for this, look at the six warrior monks that closely coordinated the formation, has been the Shaolin descendants of the Arhat stick formation and the Qi family army's mandarin duck array into one, advance and retreat changes, attack and defense blocking, all subtle, on the contrary, the Japanese are not only all cruel and ruthless, on weekdays on each other on the fight and plot, but also often on the following, usurpation and devouring the master, so although the masters of the Japanese are fierce martial arts, the moves are old and spicy, but they rarely cooperate with each other to fight, in the face of the warrior monks tightly united formation, straight like a dog bites a hedgehog, not only failed to take advantage, but was repeatedly repulsed, in vainใ It's been a long time, once the Japanese attack is weak, they will definitely be killed by the warrior monks taking the opportunity to fight back, and then defeated in one fell swoop...
Yue Buqun, who was silently watching this group fight, didn't care much about the fate of the would-be robbers, and only hoped that they would perform more subtle moves of Dongying Kendo to feast his eyes. However, the stick technique performed by the warrior monks was extremely effective in repeatedly breaking the fierce and swift swordsmanship of the Japanese robbers, which gradually aroused Yue Buqun's interest and included it in the scope of observation.
From Yue Buqun's point of view, the prototype of the stick method of the warrior monks is the Shaolin Arhat stick and the Dharma stick method, but although these Buddhist stick methods have been circulated for a long time, the moves are exquisite, and they are still good for dealing with the rivers and lakes of fighting alone, but if they kill the enemy on the battlefield, they will inevitably be insufficient, not sharp and ruthless enough. At this time, the stick method of the warrior monks is not only simple and practical, but also seems to be integrated into some battlefield marksmanship and Mao method.
If the battle between the warrior monks and the remnants of the Japanese masters was like this, Yue Buqun could conclude that within three years and five years, the Futian Shaolin Temple would be able to completely destroy all the remaining Japanese masters, and the battle for the Qi family army to level the Japanese would end perfectly. At that time, the Futian Shaolin Temple will naturally become more and more vigorous, and it will definitely take the opportunity to subdue the martial arts forces in the coastal provinces from Guangdong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang that have been greatly harmed by the scourge of the Japanese Invaders, and the name of Southern Shaolin will be well deserved!
About two pillars of incense past, the situation of fierce fighting on the official road is gradually clear, and the Japanese who have a bad heart for each other will inevitably fall into the disadvantage, even if the fierce people among them are unwilling to roar and exert their strength again and again, and attack fiercely, but it is difficult to defeat the combined efforts of the monks, only to fall into a stick wound, and retreat in embarrassment.
Yue Buqun shook his head again and again, and inadvertently saw the movement of a strange figure at the edge of the battle group, but he couldn't help but pause slightly.
The man was short and thin, dressed in black and masked, revealing only a pair of scorching eyes, with a long strip of wrapping tied around his back, and holding a katana in each hand, one long and one short, one attacking and one defending, which seemed to be good at making two swords and other kinds of swordsmanship. But Yue Buqun has been studying Dongying Kendo for a long time, and he has already had a lot of experience, so he can naturally see that the person's Erdaoliu swordsmanship is quite nondescript, obviously just like Yue Buqun's own embroidered spring knife with Jinyiwei, Erdaoliu is just a martial art that the man in black temporarily used to meet the occasion, and it is definitely not his own best martial arts!
Seeing that the situation on the side of the Japanese was not good, the moment when the companion next to him attacked and dragged the hostile warrior monk, the short man in black did not follow the attack, but suddenly turned around and fled.
Moreover, the figure of the short man in black was strange and fast, flashing like a looming black line, shooting straight into the distance.
Such a light skill, not only Yue Buqun, who was secretly watching the battle, was quite surprised, but even the people on both sides who were fighting fiercely in the field were also slightly stunned, and then the warrior monk's side was furious, struggling to suppress the counterattack of the Japanese robbers, and from the formation, two warrior monks jumped out of the battle group with sticks, and carried the light skill that was not weak, and hurriedly chased after the short man in black.
Seeing this, the originally precarious Japanese robbers were immediately overjoyed, and they suddenly counterattacked, and in a few moves, they reversed the unfavorable situation, once again equalized the attack and defense of the warrior monks, and even gradually regained the upper hand.
And the warrior monks who were missing two people also changed their positions in time to stabilize the situation. Fortunately, from the beginning to the present, the Japanese have been attacking fiercely, and the consumption of skills is not light, and the combat state at this time has involuntarily declined. Even so, the warrior monks could only defend more and attack less for a while, which seemed to be worse than the situation at the beginning.
Yue Buqun also took advantage of the night to sneak cautiously for a while at this time, avoiding the sight of the people in the battle group, and then he also got up, and quietly followed behind the two warrior monks who were chasing the short man in black. As for the battle in the field, Yue Buqun knew very well in his heart that unless the Japanese robbers could abandon their previous suspicions and work together, the next battle would just repeat the previous process, but the time for the warrior monks to defend and attack might be a little longer!
Not surprisingly, the Japanese who were present could not escape the fate of most of the dead and wounded.
