There is no shortage of well-behaved maids in the manor, but the one who was assigned to serve Zhao Yu and Wei Yixiao was a rough man with a full face and a fierce appearance.

Taking a sip of warm tea, Zhao Yu missed the days when Xiao Zhao was by his side, and he was meticulous in his daily life.

Wei Yi smiled and stopped, and when he was about to rest, he finally couldn't help but say, "Sect Master, it's a little inappropriate for us to stay in this manor like this, right?"

Zhao Yu heard Wei Yixiao's reminder, and said with a smile: "Bat King, don't worry, let's stay here, it's a little safer than the outside." This Shao Min County Lord is also going to assassinate Yang Wan, but it coincides with us, and during this time in Yangzhou, we can cooperate sincerely. ”

Wei Yixiao was still unrelieved, and sighed: "But our Ming Sect is inseparable from the Tartar Imperial Court after all...... I take the liberty of asking, how did the sect leader and that county lord Chitose have a relationship?"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "The Bat King should know my family background, right?"

Wei Yi smiled and nodded, now the identity of Zhao Yu's former emperor is no longer a secret, and he has already heard of it.

A trace of confusion flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes, and he said: "No matter how noble your identity is, it must be timely in order to be effective." My father lived in the capital back then, and he made a sign for the Tartar court to recruit scholars. This King of Ruyang, Li Chahan, was a Mongol who admired Sinology, and he asked my father to be the teacher of his children......"

Although many years have passed, Zhao Yu tells the story eloquently, but the past is still vivid. Wei Yixiao listened to it, but he took Zhao Yu's shallow smile and peaceful expression in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, secretly saying that the Shao Min County Lord treated the sect master unusually, just looking at the sect master's appearance, I was afraid that he would be difficult to give up with this Tartar county lord in his own heart.

Zhao Yu took a breath and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world is curious about the origin of my martial arts, and some people have asked me several times who I am trained from. In fact, until now, I have never seriously worshipped a master. If I want to say one, Lord Shaomin can be regarded as my enlightenment teacher. If she hadn't first learned some martial arts from the masters she worshiped at home and then passed them on to me, there might not have been such a figure as the Demon Lord Zhao Wuxian in this world. In my life, there are not many people who are willing to trust in a down-to-earth manner, and she is one. ”

Wei Yixiao heard Zhao Yu say this, but he didn't care about the thoughts and feelings of others. It's just that his eyes rolled, but he remembered another thing, so he asked: "Yes, since the sect leader also has some involvement with the Ruyang Palace, do you know what the origin of that monk is bitter?"

"Why did the Bat King ask this question?" Zhao Yu asked curiously.

Wei Yi smiled and frowned: "Sect Master, but remember, there were two envoys of the left and right in our sect, in addition to the left envoy Yang Xiao, there is also Fan Yao, who is known as the two immortals of Xiaoyao with Yang Xiao? Today, I saw that the bitter head and the sect leader had a palm, and the number of martial arts was quite similar to Fan Yao, so I was curious, so I asked. ”

After listening to Wei Yixiao's words, Zhao Yu frowned and said: "Does the Bat King suspect that Master Ku is Fan You's envoy? This seems impossible, I also asked Min Min about the origin of this Master Ku, this person was in the palace ten years ago, and he is a native of Khorezm in the Western Regions. Look at his appearance, he is not from my Central Plains. Besides, it's just a slap but you can't see any clues, isn't the Bat King wrong?"

Wei Yi shook his head with a smile and said: "I don't suspect that Kutoutuo is Fan Yao, Fan Yao is extremely handsome in this life, he was the most beautiful man in our sect a few decades ago, but he is not as ugly as Kutoutuo." As for the similarity of the two martial arts, there is some basis. The sect leader can see that Kutou Tuo's seemingly plain palm, in fact, there are many hidden changes in it, although it is just a fleshy palm, if you smack it carefully, it looks like a knife and a sword?"

Zhao Yu thought for a while, nodded and said: "This bitter master's martial arts is indeed profound, I also learned some of his martial arts moves from Min Min when I was a child, there are changes in the plain, even if the ordinary knife technique is all the way, if you carefully study and touch, there is also a great mystery." This person's attainments in martial arts moves alone, according to my opinion, should be a step higher than Yang Zuo's envoy. Now that I think about it, he is a foreign person, but he can practice many exquisite martial arts, which is really a bit unusual. ”

"Can the sect leader practice the martial arts he learned from Kutoutuo? Wei Yi smiled and said quickly.

After Zhao Yu heard this, he also felt a little curious in his heart, so he recalled while comparing several martial arts moves he learned in his childhood.

Wei Yixiao looked at it carefully, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, and in the end, he clapped his hands and shouted: "That's right, this is the martial arts path of Fan Yao's faction!

Zhao Yu put away his martial arts moves and said with a smile: "The Bat King has confused me, and I have a lot of knowledge in the martial arts, but I can't see what the origin of these martial arts is." Yes, where is Fan You's teacher?"

Wei Yixiao smiled and said: "Don't say that the sect leader can't see the origin of these martial arts, I'm afraid that no one in the rivers and lakes can see the origin of these martial arts." If you let that bitter head come and perform these martial arts again, I am afraid that he will also forget. ”

Seeing that Zhao Yu's face was becoming more and more puzzled, he explained: "If you want to talk about this road of martial arts, you have to start from the old things of decades ago. A few decades ago, when the Yang Sect Master was still alive, our Ming Sect was very prosperous in the Western Regions. coincided with the Mongol rebellion in the Western Regions, the people of the Western Regions suffered heavy casualties, and our Ming Sect had many believers in the Western Regions, and suffered a lot of injuries in this chaos. ”

Zhao Yu didn't know much about these old things of Mingjiao, and when he heard Wei Yixiao talk about it, he was also curious in his heart, so he listened seriously.

Wei Yixiao continued: "At that time, in our sect, except for the sect leader and the left and right envoys, the four ** kings had not yet been gathered, but the martial arts of the older generation of masters were far higher than now. Although the Mongolian Great Khan is also a master, he can't stop the elite masters in our sect. The Yang Sect Master and the others smashed into the king's tent all the way, so frightened that the big man fled in despair, and since then he has not dared to torture and kill the people of the Western Regions at will. ”

Zhao Yu heard that these masters of the older generation of Mingjiao could coerce the lord of a country with a puppet, and he also felt his heart swaying, but he was still curious: "What does this have to do with martial arts?"

"I'm going to get to that soon. ”

Wei Yi paused for a moment and continued: "The masters of our sect rushed into the king's tent, although they didn't see the Mongolian Khan who had already fled, but they rescued some martial arts masters in the Western Regions who were captured by the Tartar soldiers in the king's tent. It's just that most of these people are dying, because those Tartars caught them and tortured them, forcing them to ask about their martial arts. After we rescued these people, most of them died on the way back, and very few of the rest survived in the end. However, there was a master of the Hidden World Sect who survived. He thanked us for the grace of the Ming Sect to save each other, so he wanted to teach his martial arts to the brothers in the sect, one was regarded as repaying the kindness, and the other did not want his own martial arts to be broken. ”

"However, in our sect, the Yang Sect Master has the Great Shifting Divine Skill, which goes without saying. The rest of the old-timers also have their own amazing skills, and they don't have the heart to learn other martial arts. It chilled people's hearts, so the sect leader ordered the younger generation below the second envoy of the light in the sect to go to the master and ask him to choose the successor himself. ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, he interjected curiously: "Could it be that the shocking light skill of the Bat King was learned at that time?"

Wei Yixiao shook his head and said, "This light skill of mine was when I went to southern Yunnan to do errands one year, I got lost in the mountains and strayed into one of the mountain streams. I stumbled upon a set of incomplete body portraits in a cave in a mountain stream, borrowed from that portrait, and added my own speculation to have my current attainments. ”

Zhao Yu was also surprised when he heard Wei Yixiao talk about this strange fate, but he thought that he hadn't found the secret book of the Jiuyang True Scripture in the belly of the white ape in the Kunlun Mountains. In this world, there are people who have good luck and luck, and they are not alone. After sighing for a while, Zhao Yu asked again: "Yes, which sect is that hidden old-timer?

"What is it called the Xiaoyao School or the Tianshan School, the age is too old, and I didn't have the heart to learn other martial arts at that time, so I didn't care too much. ”

Wei Yixiao thought about his memories and said, "At that time, there were several outstanding people in our teaching of the younger generation. Needless to say, the rest of the envoys were in the prime of life at the time, and the masters of the Five Elements Banner were all handsome in the martial arts. As for the purple-shirted dragon king Dai Qisi and Xie Laosan, they had not yet joined the church at that time. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Yixiao suddenly couldn't help laughing, laughed heartily, and laughed from ear to ear before continuing to speak: "At that time, these young masters in our sect also had their own teachers, and if they wanted to change to another faction, they were also unwilling to do so. However, the old man was also kind, and only said that he wanted to pass on his martial arts, but he didn't have to formally apprentice. Therefore, everyone reluctantly agreed, and they were selected in one place. Among them, Yan Sanbai, the old son of Yan Yuan's dwarf winter melon, was the most eager, and when he went into battle with his family, he even hugged Yan Yuan, who was dragging two big snots, but their father and son were the first to be eliminated. As for why, can you guess it, Master?"

When Zhao Yu heard this question, he lowered his head and thought about it, and muttered: "Although Yan Qi's martial arts are not considered to be top-notch, he is flexible in mind and quick to adapt, how could he be the first to be eliminated when he was young?"

Wei Yixiao laughed and said: "Just because their father and son have five short bodies in the same lineage, they are only suitable for being a native mouse who has been burrowing for generations, but they missed a great opportunity in vain." It turns out that there is another rule for the selection of heirs by the free faction, that is, they must be born with good skin, the men must be handsome and extraordinary, and the women must also be outstanding, fortunately I was absent that day, otherwise my own family was born with this appearance, I am afraid that I will also be ridiculed by a few yin people for half my life, like Yan Sanbai's poor ghost, I will never forget it until I die!"

Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing, but he was also curious: "How can there be such a truth in the world? It's just the inheritance of martial arts, as long as you look at the level of martial arts talent, how can it have anything to do with appearance?"

Wei Yixiao also sighed: "This matter has also been talked about in the sect for many years, but it has gradually been forgotten with the death of the older generation, as for Yin Baimei's poor skin, he is ashamed of it, and he will not take the initiative to mention it in his life." That old man is really weird, he doesn't even want the title of master and apprentice, but he only has strict requirements for appearance. After such a selection, only Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, and Mo Baicao were selected in the teaching. ”

"Which one is Mo Baicao?" Zhao Yu asked curiously.

Wei Yixiao explained: "In our sect, in addition to the Five Elements Banner and each branch altar, there are still a few halls in the main altar, Mo Baicao is the hall master of the Baicao Hall at that time, mainly responsible for the free diagnosis of the sect, the treatment of injuries and poisons, but later or no successor, and due to the civil strife in the sect, the halls directly under these general altars have been disbanded, and only the four gates of heaven and earth, wind and thunder are left. Yes, this Mo Baicao is Hu Qingniu's master. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu's face couldn't help but become solemn, Hu Qingniu's high medical skills are known to the world, and his wife Wang Nangu is also known as a poisonous immortal. The two are brothers and sisters, and they are naturally inherited from the same master, and Mo Baicao single-handedly taught the medical immortals and poisonous immortals, so they are naturally extremely remarkable characters. In this way, these three people were selected in the Ming Sect, Yang Xiao does not need to say more, the martial arts are high, Zhao Yu has seen it with his own eyes, as for Fan Yao, who has never met, it is said that he is also a master on a par with Yang Xiao, plus this Mo Baicao, all of them are amazing characters.

Zhao Yu was awe-inspiring in his heart, and listened to Wei Yi Yi and continued: "These three people have to pass on a skill, as for what the name is, because they have each sworn not to speak to the second person, so others don't know." It's just that in the following years, Yang Xiao and Fan Yao's martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, and they have become the leaders of the younger generation in the church. Originally, although the martial arts of the two of them were good, they were far from surpassing their peers. And Mo Baicao is even more exaggerated, the lame Langzhong, who was originally bound and procrastinating in the treatment of a cold and flu, seems to have been reborn as if he has become a great hand of medicine, and whatever disease is treated, all the medicine can be cured. Hu Qingniu's medical immortal, compared to his master, his skills are still a few points worse. It's a pity that Mo Baicao is called Baicao, and he really wants to learn from Shennong to taste Baicao, and he died of taking poisonous weeds by mistake many years ago. ”

Seeing such amazing progress as the three of them, everyone knew what a great opportunity Mingjiao had gotten this time. And the old man finally died of exhaustion after a year because of the old tribulation and the fact that he was teaching the three at the same time. Before he died, he sighed that his qualifications were dull, and the inheritance he learned in the sect was only one-twelfth out of tenth, and most of them had either been lost long ago or destroyed by war, but it was difficult to reappear in the world. ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, he was inexplicably surprised in his heart, and he smacked his tongue, the hidden sect of the secret path was so good, but the inheritance of the twelfth of the elders has created two first-class masters and a holy hand of the medical path, I really don't know what kind of prosperity it looked like in its heyday. He was already a little proud of what he had learned now, but after listening to this old Mingjiao incident, a little pride in his heart suddenly disappeared. The more you know, the more you understand your shallowness, and any arrogance and conceit are all stupid and ridiculous actions to sit in the well and watch the sky and rest on your laurels.

Wei Yixiao also sighed with emotion: "There are many strange people in the world, like the sand of the Ganges, you have one or two excellent skills, but they are not enough capital to be arrogant. ”

After sighing, he turned back to the previous topic and continued: "The martial arts of Yang Xiao and Fan Yao seem to be not routines, but in fact, they both have their own characteristics, and they are both knowledgeable, both knowledgeable and refined. Yang Xiao's martial arts, the sect leader has also seen it, once it is displayed, it is elegant and smooth, even if it is an extremely dangerous life-and-death fight, it can also appear as freehand as flowing water. Compared with Fan Yao and Yang Xiao, there are still too many miscellaneous things, and there are many changes in a set of palm techniques, which is dizzying. The most amazing thing is that there are so many moves in his hands that they seem endless. I remember that when Xie Laosan first entered the Ming Sect, he was also a high-minded and arrogant person, and he was also very dissatisfied with the fact that the two immortals were not old but ranked above the Dharma King, so he fought with Fan Yao. The battle between the two, from sunrise to sunset, Xie Xun's martial arts not to mention first, just talking about Fan Yao, he fought viciously for a whole day, and he didn't use a single trick repeatedly!"

When Zhao Yu heard this, his face also showed surprise, and he realized that everyone praised Fan Yao's martial arts and martial arts, and he was so complex!

The two fought this game, but in the end, it was Xie Laosan who was completely lost his temper by Fan Yao's endless new tricks, and he surrendered to defeat. In the end, he couldn't help but ask Fan Yao, how many styles do you have in this set of palms?"

Wei Yixiao said this, but he sold a pass, and asked Zhao Yu with a smile: "Does the sect leader know how Fan Yao answered?"

Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "The two have been fighting for so long, let alone thousands of moves." No matter how cumbersome the martial arts routines in the world are, there can't be as many as thousands, but I guess Fan You's set of palm techniques is only to convey the essence of righteousness, but there are no tangible moves. ”

Wei Yixiao gave Zhao Yu a thumbs up and said, "The sect master's martial arts attainments and cognition are really too strong. It's a pity that we didn't have such an understanding back then, but we were bluffed by Fan Yao's answer for many years. He replied, based on tricks alone, no one in this world can force him to be poor in donkey skills, and even the Yang Sect Master is impossible!"

When Zhao Yu heard this answer, he was a little clear in his heart, and carefully pondered the martial arts paths he had learned from Kutoutuo a few times, and sure enough, he found a trace of problems that he had ignored in the past. Although these martial arts paths and moves are cleverly matched, they are more of a deeper change in inheritance, rather than simply sticking to fixed moves. In the past, he just knew what it was and didn't know why, and after learning it, he used it casually, and as his martial arts became stronger and stronger, he rarely carefully touched the martial arts moves he learned earlier.

This time he was reminded by Wei Yixiao, and Zhao Yu thought about it carefully, only to know that he was really lucky enough. At the beginning of Mengxue, he was not limited by some fixed moves, and laid a foundation for doing whatever he wanted, so that he could integrate everything he learned in the future, but he was not confined to one family and kept the same. For a while, I became more and more grateful to the well-intentioned Kutoutuo.

He frowned and said, "Listening to the Bat King say this, it seems that you suspect that Kutoutuo is the descendant of the Loose Sect?"

Wei Yi nodded and said, "Although there is no conclusive evidence, it is an indisputable fact that the two have similar martial arts paths. The Western Regions have been turbulent for many years, and it is not impossible that the Xiaoyao Sect occasionally has one or two heirs alive. ”

Zhao Yu pondered carefully for a moment before he said: "It's a pity that the bitter master is deaf and dumb, and his temperament is also withdrawn, but it is not good to ask him for something. ”

Wei smiled freely and said, "What are you doing with these things, Fan Yao has not heard from him for so many years, maybe he is no longer in the world." If he is still alive, he will definitely know that our Mingjiao is now very powerful, and if he has the heart, he will definitely come back to gather with these old friends. ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, he just smiled, (.. )
