Chapter 4: Getting the Sword
The monkey looked a little excited, but Hu Meier didn't think so. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info monkey said, "You don't know at a glance, the fifth floor of the sea view building is not a river and lake, and it is rumored that there are only 100 people who can climb the fifth floor from ancient times to the present." Their names are all engraved on the monument on the fifth floor. "Oh?" Hu Mei'er was interested, "So we are going to be naked today?" "That's for sure." ”
The fifth floor of the Guanhai Building is very spacious, but the entire floor is arranged into a room, which is not as magnificent as imagined, but a fresh and elegant atmosphere. In the middle of the main hall upstairs, there is a huge stone tablet, blackened throughout, with rows of names engraved on it. Some are known to everyone on the rivers and lakes, while others have never heard of it. By the adjacent window, a woman in plain clothes was making tea, and Miss Wen and Mu Jiushi sat opposite each other, "The little woman smells Xiaoxiao, and she hasn't asked her son's name yet." "Miss Wen is rude, in the wood ninety. Miss Wen looked at Mu Jiuten, "I don't know where Gongzi learned his piano skills?" Mu Jiu Shi thought in his heart, "No, this woman surnamed Wen must be a high-ranking and powerful person in Zangjian Villa, and the owner of Zangjian Villa and the old man are mortal enemies, so I have to think of an explanation." "Childe, is there something unspeakable?" Wen Xiaoxiao looked at him in a daze, so he asked. Mu Jiu came back to his senses: "No, it's just that I was abandoned by my parents since I was a child, and an old man took me to grow up in the mountains." He also taught me the piano. Recently, the old man went out on a wandering, and he told me to come out and see the world. It's just that I never knew the old man's name, but he was called an old man, so I didn't know how to answer the girl's question. This is half-true, but Wen Xiaoxiao believes it: "I didn't expect that the child's life experience was so miserable, and Xiaoxiao was offended." Mu Jiu Shi was embarrassed, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
This is, a small Si brought a few dishes. It turned out that it was dinner time. "Please also ask the son to taste the fresh food in this lakeside. Mu Jiu Shi moved his chopsticks, "Miss Wen, you don't know, I originally wanted to come fishing in the afternoon, I heard that there is a kind of goldfish in this lakeside, and the taste is extremely delicious and can increase your strength." Wen Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and laughed, "I didn't expect Childe to come here for this." Do you know how many people come to catch this goldfish every day?" Mu Jiu was surprised. "Childe, the people you saw on the street today came and went, and nine times out of ten, they came to fish. It's just that no one has ever caught it. Mu Jiu Shi asked, "Miss Wen, why is this?" Wen Xiaoxiao said again: "That goldfish can't be caught with bait." The goldfish likes to eat internal force, and swims in the depths of the lake, never coming up. To catch a goldfish, you need to keep the internal force hairspring deep into the bottom of the water along the line, otherwise the goldfish will be frightened. The water pressure at the bottom of the lake is huge, and the skill can reach such a point, which is not a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, how can he come here to fish, and the goldfish is useful to eat once, and it is just a desire to eat again. Mu Jiu smiled bitterly, "I see, it seems that there is no such blessing." Wen Xiaoxiao smiled even more happily, "Why do you have to do it yourself if you want to eat goldfish, isn't it in front of you?" Mu Jiu was embarrassed: "Thank you Miss for your kindness." ”
After a while, the old man and Hu Mei'er and a few monkeys on the side came over, and the old man spoke: "Miss, it's not early, it's time to go back." Mu Jiu Shi said: "Excuse me Miss Wen, it's getting late, so I'll leave first." Wen Xiaoxiao replied: "Okay, son, go slowly, and ask for piano skills another day." Grandpa Li, you sent someone to send your son back to the inn. The old man surnamed Li raised his hand and said, "Childe, please." "Mu Jiu Ji fist" then thank you. ”
After Mu Ninety-three left, Wen Xiaoxiao asked another old man behind him, "What does Grandpa Tang think?" The old man surnamed Tang replied: "This son must have gone out to practice, but his piano skills are extraordinary, and he must be extraordinary if he can teach such a disciple." I was surprised, the five demons of Jiangnan didn't die three and two missing some time ago, how could the fox demon and the monkey demon follow him like a servant? A sword breaks two hands, and the person who hurts him is extraordinary. Wen Xiaoxiao was surprised, "Oh? It turns out that those two are the five demons of Jiangnan." The old man surnamed Li came back at this time and said: "Yes, you should explain this matter to the owner when you go back." Recently, the imperial court eagle dog has been staring at us very closely, especially that Gonggong Li. And the owner of the corpse of the five demons in Jiangnan sent someone to investigate, and he did die under the finger of the sword. The five demons of Jiangnan are Gonggong Li's people again, and this young man is also a lackey of the imperial court if he can't say it well. Wen Xiaoxiao thought thoughtfully: "Let's go, Grandpa Li, go back, send someone to keep an eye on the three people." The old man surnamed Li returned: "Miss don't worry, it has been arranged." ”
Yuelai Inn, in the wooden ninety rooms. Mu Jiu Shi said: "Tomorrow, I will go to live near the lake, which is also close to the Tibetan Sword Villa, and it will be convenient to take the assessment at that time." It's been hard for the two of you these days, so you two will leave on your own tomorrow morning. Hu Mei'er and the monkey demon were surprised for a while, they didn't know what to think, they were silent for a moment, and finally Hu Mei'er spoke: "Then thank you Gongzi." ”
The next day, Mu Jiuyi drove the carriage to the lakeside, found a quiet place, and caught fish under a huge willow tree. Needless to say, in addition to the wine, there were only some cooking utensils, and it seemed that he was ready to stay on the edge of the lake for a while. The bait was thrown, and Mu Jiu began to move. It's really hard to say that it's simple, not to mention that it is difficult to condense the internal force into filaments attached to the bait and fishing line, and even to attach to the tip of the fishing rod. The 6-meter-long pole is only half of the wooden ninety, and the internal force will collapse before that, and the excessive filling of the internal force will cause the rod to burst. Fortunately, Mu Jiushi had been prepared, and after a while, there were already seven or eight exploding fishing rods around him.
Tibetan Sword Villa, in the study. The old man surnamed Li said to a middle-aged man: "Zhuang Master, there are fewer people participating in the assessment of my Tibetan Sword Villa this year than last year, presumably due to the influence of the imperial court recently. By the way, I saw the kid's name among the people who had already signed up. He was so close to the five demons of Jiangnan, I was afraid that it would be an undercover agent sent by Gonggong Li. "It turns out that this middle-aged man is the number one master in the rivers and lakes, Wen Jiansheng, the owner of the Tibetan Sword Villa. Wen Jiansheng shook his head: "Uncle Li, rest assured, I have already investigated that kid, but he is just a common person, and the five demons of Jiangnan should have been inadvertently saved by him, so they followed him." "It turns out that the owner of the village has understood clearly, so the old man will go to see the young lady." Wen Jiansheng heard this and smiled: "There is Uncle Lao Li, the little mother died early, I can't control her, thanks to you and Uncle Tang for taking care of her all these years." The old man surnamed Li smiled: "Yes, besides, Lao Tang and I both like this child, so naturally we have to take care of her and retire first." Wen Jiansheng opened the door: "Uncle Li walks slowly." Turning around, closing the door, Wen Jiansheng muttered softly: "This kid, I think I first used my Zhuang sword finger to kill three of the five demons, and then took two of them." At this time, I thought of the news passed back from the spies in the village, "The broken silver passed through the head, all from the eyes, and the front and back wounds were like sword marks, and the sword was undoubted." The depth of skill should be the first-class in the world. Wen Jiansheng thought of this: "Good boy, it is worthy of the genius of Tianzhong said by the old man of Yuanqing, my Tibetan Sword Villa is really inexplicable, this kid will really cause trouble." It is better not to let him know the news of Shushan, and observe his temperament for a while. Someone!" A white-clothed sword attendant stood at the door, and Wen Jiansheng ordered: "Pass the order, from now on, up and down the Tibetan Sword Villa, it is forbidden to talk about Shu Mountain, and those who violate the order will be killed!" "Yes!"
It is said that Mu Jiu 0 is fishing for a day, and finally at sunset, he realized the method, and the internal force has been able to enter the water, but it is still a big step away from the bait and hook. "Goo~" Mu Jiuten's stomach protested, and Mu Jiu Shi took the credit. "I'm so hungry, yes, I haven't caught a single fish for a day. No, you can't practice, so catch a few fish to fill your stomach first. After a while, a bonfire was set up, and four fresh and fat lake fish were sizzling on the fire, and the condiments bought earlier were overflowing. It was a scruffy old man dressed in fishing attire who walked over. "Boy, your grilled fish?" Mu Jiu Shi glanced at the old man, ignoring him. The old man came to the fire: "Hey, I said why are you so rude," the old man's stomach also "grunted~". "Do you know how to respect the old and love the young?" Mu Jiu Shi glanced at the old man again, but still ignored him. The old man sat down cheekily, "Hehe, boy, you see, my old man is old, and he hasn't eaten for another day..." "I said, why are you so rude, in this way, old man, I am not an unreasonable person, can I buy your fish with silver?" But after digging for a long time, the old man smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, this one is in a hurry to go out today, and he didn't bring any money, boy, can you take two credits first?" Mu Jiushi glanced at the old man with a look of contempt and complete distrust this time, and the words of the dead liar were almost not written on his face. By the way, he picked up the four fish and moved them down in front of him. The old man was furious: "Oh, yes, what kind of expression do you kid have? What kind of eyes? Is the old man the kind of person who eats people without giving money? In this way, I see that you are also powerless, I will teach you a set of swordsmanship, and you give me two fish." No, three of a kind. Mu Jiu Shi was a little interested when he heard this, but he still ignored him.
The old man picked up a branch, "Boy, look at it! I guarantee that you want to learn when you see it, and you will learn to pick up a girl." With that, he danced aside. Although no internal force was used, it was not difficult to see the gorgeousness and excitement of the moves. But the old man didn't know how amazing Mu Jiu Shi was, and after a set of sword moves, Mu Jiu Ji had already memorized them all. Mu Jiu Shi finally spoke: "Flashy. When the old man heard this, his chest tightened with anger: "What? You said that Lao Tzu's sword moves are flashy? Do you know martial arts?" Mu Jiushi asked rhetorically: "When did I say that I don't know martial arts anymore, and your swordsmanship is really bad." "Wow, boy, why are you so flashy?" Mu Jiu replied: "Although I haven't seen this swordsmanship, I think it's just a beginner's swordsmanship, and I want to fool the master with one, hehe." The old man was angry: "It seems that if you don't take something real, you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick." "The words fell, a set of "Thunder Sword Duel" was cast, although it did not have half a point of internal strength, and the moves were sharp, and it was ten times stronger than the previous set of unknown swordsmanship. Mu Jiu Shi was a little moved: "I didn't expect this old man's martial arts to be so high and his swordsmanship to be so sharp." It seems that he can make a lot of sword moves in this set. Thinking about it, Mu Ninety mouthfuls of water are about to come out. After the old man finished dancing with a set of swordsmanship, Mu Jiu Shi picked up a fish and ate it. The old man immediately came over: "Boy, eat slowly, eat slowly, what's the matter, this set of swordsmanship is okay." Mu Jiu Shi ate in his mouth, and responded, "So-so, if you have ten sets of eight sets of such swordsmanship, I will give you a fish." "What's the one? Boy, you have such a big breath, and you have ten sets of eight. Do you know that this thunderous sword technique is going to fall on the rivers and lakes, how many people will rob it if they are desperate?" After a while, a fish was eaten, and Mu Jiu returned: "In this way, you make a set of swordsmanship, I will crack your set, there are still three fish here, you win, all yours, I won, well, I will still give you one, but you will fish ten for me tomorrow and return it to me." The old man disagreed, and thought to himself: "Hmph, look at how you cry if you lose." Then he said, "I have won, and I will give me all the gourd of the wine you just drunk." Your wine is so good, I can smell it from afar. Mu Jiushi didn't expect the old man to agree so happily, so he said: "If you can win me, hehe, don't say a gourd, the master will give you a jar." The old man's eyes lit up: "Okay, gentleman, you have shown me a good look." ”
The night is getting darker and darker, beside the lake, under the giant willows, an old man keeps dancing the sword, a young man keeps cracking, and after a while, two hours have passed. "I said what kind of freak are you kid, the Thunder Sword Duel, the Delusion Breaking Sword Technique, the Dead Wood Sword Duel, the Ling Feng Sword Technique, the Canghai Sword Technique, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Thunderbolt Sword Duel, the Jumping Sword, you have broken them all? Mu Jiuten's heart was actually extremely shocked, "This old man is so powerful." He said, "Old man, eat the fish first, and it's all grilled into dried fish." Seeing that you are so tired, I will divide you into two, and the wine will also share you with a gourd. The old man sat down: "Hey, hey, that's right." Just as he took a bite, Mu Jiuyi didn't choke him to death with one sentence: "Remember to return me twenty tomorrow." The old man finished eating the fish three times and dividing five by two, took a sip of wine, and said leisurely: "The kid knows how to divide swordsmanship into levels, and his skills are layered?" Mu Jiu Ten was really interested, because Yuan Qing had never told him this, so he shook his head. The old man was a little proud: "I see that you have never been far away, and the martial arts in the world are divided into human level, earth level, and heaven level." and the legendary peerless. Each type is divided into upper and lower grades. You are young, and you can break six earth-level high-grade swordsmanship, and one heaven-level lower-grade swordsmanship, which is really unheard of and unseen by the old decay. And there are skills, three or two first-class and the top masters of the rivers and lakes, and there are legendary great masters above the top. You don't know how good you are, but with your eyesight, the rivers and lakes are first-class. I think your broken fishing rod should be caused by thinking about catching goldfish, I pass on a set of methods for condensing internal force, and if you are lucky, you may be able to catch goldfish. This method should not be spread to the outside world, otherwise it will kill you. After saying that, he got up and threw a page of paper, and then left lightly, only to hear a distant voice: "This is the twenty fish." Mu Jiu was dumbfounded: "This old scoundrel." ”
"Qi Refining Decision", Mu Jiu Shi looked at this page, although the paper was small, it was densely packed with more than 500 words. Mu Jiu Shi thought to himself: "Do you want to practice and see? Although this old man is a little shameless, his heart is still good." "Before I knew it, the sky had turned white, and the light smoke on the lakeside was shrouded. Mu Ninety finished work, "Sure enough, the aura is converged, and the condensation of internal force has a miraculous effect." Thinking about it, he picked up his fishing rod, walked to the lake, and caught a fish. The internal force hairspring arrived at the bait at once. Mu Jiuyi was excited, and with a "click", the fishing rod exploded. Mu Jiu shook his head, and had to pick up another fishing rod.
A few times, the fishing rod seemed to have caught something, and Mu Jiu Shi struggled to lift it, but he didn't even lift it. "Could it be stuck?" Mu Jiu thought to himself. I got up and pulled back and forth, and after a few times, I finally let go. "Hey, it's not light. "When the hook came ashore, it was a rusty sword. Mu Jiu Shi pulled out the aquatic plants on the sword holster, washed it, and pulled out the rusty sword, which was already rusty inside. A word "demon" was faintly seen on the hilt of the sword. Mu Jiu didn't think much about it, so he casually threw it behind him, picked up the fishing rod and prepared to continue fishing. With a "bang", a willow tree behind him suddenly broke and smashed towards Mu Jiuten. Wood ninety-one dodged and dodged. "Grandma's, it's so unlucky, why did the good one fall?" When I got closer, the rusty sword just now was stuck in the ground, and the sword holster also fell not far away, and the willow tree was smooth and flat, without a trace of bifurcation. Mu Jiuten's heart shook "Fuck!"
Mu Jiu Ten stepped forward, and the rusty sword of sword qi danced a few times. "I can't think of a sword, it's good that the master didn't take advantage of the weapon, it's you. Thinking to himself, he picked up the sword holster again, but when he tried to put the sword back, he couldn't put it in. Even with all his strength, there seemed to be a force in the scabbard that was blocking him. "It's really strange, the master doesn't believe it. Mu Jiu Shi carried the internal force, and suddenly with a "poof" sound, a huge force came out, Mu Jiu Yi did not grasp it steadily, the rusty sword flew out, the hilt hit Mu Jiu Shi's chest, "poof" A mouthful of blood sprayed on the sword, the rusty sword fell to the ground, and Mu Jiu Shi was also hit by the rust sword and fell to the ground.
Mu Jiu got up and looked at the Rusty Sword, the blood he spit out just now seemed to be swallowed by the Rusty Sword, except for the blood dripping around, the blood on the sword was completely gone. And the rusty sword seems to have fewer rust spots. Mu Jiu was a little afraid in his heart, "It's really evil, a sword that drinks blood?" So he picked up the rusty sword again and inserted it into the scabbard. But I don't want this time to be mediocre and fall to the bottom.
