Chapter 23: A Visit (7)
And lying is not to convince the other party to be true. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Did I say that? maybe?"
Ji Hualian just smiled and was noncommittal.
"Bai Xiaosheng must have a good relationship with Brother Ji, right?"
Sikong Guyan saw Ji Hualian's eyelids jump, and he knew that he had guessed the wrong direction, if he guessed correctly, Ji Hualian would definitely not show any superfluous expression. However, maybe Ji Hualian is different from himself? It was just a subtle movement, but it made Sikong Gu's brain spin rapidly again.
Ji Hualian cast an approving look, nodded, and his tone was more respectful: "Mr. Bai once pointed out, speaking of which, he may be able to be regarded as half a teacher." ”
Bai Xiaosheng heard his voice in the low-level rivers and lakes but did not see him, but he was not a secret among the famous families. With Mr. Wu's skill, he naturally collected a lot of information about Bai Xiaosheng. Even if Mr. Wu didn't leave that information, it was impossible for Sikong Gu not to know Bai Xiaosheng, after all, the "Who's Who in the Rivers and Lakes" was written by Bai Xiaosheng, and every early winter, Bai Xiaosheng would begin to travel around the various major schools in the rivers and lakes, and refer to the martial arts of the various major schools, looking for materials for the revision of the new Who's Who. If a hero does not appear in the rivers and lakes this year, then he will be left in the red circle for suspicion, and if he does not appear in the rivers and lakes for three years, then he will be removed from the Who's Who. Similarly, if that chivalrous martial arts improve, he will also rise in rank accordingly, and the evidence based on it is nothing more than to verify and ask the people who have seen this chivalrous man in the past year.
It's just that the rankings on Bai Xiaosheng's Who's Who are almost impossible to use as a reference certificate for the level of martial arts, and there is often an incident in the rivers and lakes where a hero ranks in the seventy or fifty and kills forty or fifty people with one move. In the Who's Friends, especially outside the fifty open, there are countless such "reversals", but there has never been an incident in which a person in the top ten was defeated by a master outside the top ten. It is because many people in the rivers and lakes only look at the top ten, and do not pay much attention to the other rankings of Who's Who, after all, it is not impossible or unrealistic for thirty to defeat twenty, but more than a dozen can't beat the top ten.
Of course, if an ordinary hero can be included in the Who's Who, then he will get a lot of attention, and martial arts families like the Chu family and the Situ family will also send a letter to invite him to "get together at the house", which is solicitation. And Shaolin, Kunlun, and other great sects of martial arts, which have the same lineage, are completely impossible to do so. In the rivers and lakes, only the big sects are worthy of being called masters, these masters have strict rules, coupled with the sufficient resources of the masters, it is impossible for any master to get away easily, if they really leave, there are almost no families who dare to recruit them, and accepting a person who defects from the master is not notorious in the rivers and lakes, but incurring the hostility of that big sect, this is what the major families are really worried about.
A list of who's who is the hope for the rise of the people at the bottom of the rivers and lakes, and it is also the battlefield for the conquest of major sects.
Now the two factions of Shaolin and Kunlun have 24 people on the Who's List, 11 Shaolin people, and 13 Kunlun people, who are well-deserved sword bearers in the rivers and lakes, while Jiangbei Shenmen is listed in the Who's Who 9 people, and Jiangnan League is listed in the Who's Who 8 people, which is a real prince. Sikong Gu remembered that when talking about Who's Who, Mr. Wu once said: "'Who's Who' is like the order of the king of Hades, the little ghost will be anxious when he takes it, and the king can make waves if he takes it." ”
"Is there anyone who is on the list and will only be complacent?"
"Yes, these people are fools, and there is never a shortage of fools in the rivers and lakes. ”
"What does Master mean is that those who are complacent after being on the list will be in great trouble?"
"Ah Gu, think about it, if I give you ten thousand taels of gold, and then put you alone in the middle of the city, what will those people do to you?"
"I'm sure I'm not going to ask for that gold anymore. ”
"But you value the gold very much. ”
"Well, Master, I see, but if it's me, I think there can be another way. ”
"Ah Gu, you know better than the teacher, most of those low-level people are not as shrewd as you, your methods are useful for dealing with smart people, but useless for dealing with the people. ”
"Master, don't those people like to be smart, as long as they don't think they are stupid donkeys, then there is still a way, after all, it is ten thousand taels of gold, if not, how can it reflect its value?"
“...... Let's practice the sword, and after dinner, take the books in the third box and read. ”
After that, Mr. Wu walked slowly to the house with a crutch, it was the middle of winter, the snow was falling, and Sikong stood shirtless in the snow with a copper sword pinned to his waist. Then there was his thirty-thousandth and first draw of his sword today, and this action, as he had practiced a month before, only seemed to be a little faster.
This year, Sikong Gu was sixteen years old, and the "Nine Swords of the Hidden Door" had become a small success.
"Bai Xiaosheng has instructed Ji Hualian in martial arts? Could it be that it is rumored that Bai Xiaosheng is just a rumor that he has no power to bind chickens? No, a person who has no power to bind chickens may not know the essence of various martial arts. It's just that Xiao Yanagi often watches me practice, and now I also have some three-legged cat kung fu, if Bai Xiaosheng is really a great master, how can it be rumored that he has no power to restrain the chicken? Unless, Bai Xiaosheng doesn't personally guide ......
Thinking of this, Sikong Gu felt that he had already probed the behemoth behind Ji Hualian, and if he went deeper to touch that behemoth, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it now.
"I see, no wonder Brother Ji has such martial arts at a young age, presumably on the top ten list at the end of this year, there will be the name of Mr. Ji. ”
"Brother Sikong doesn't need to praise him so much, it's still unknown whether there is me among the top ten, but there will definitely be a place for Brother Sikong. ”
Hearing that Sikong Gu didn't ask any more, Ji Hualian felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and at this moment he really confirmed that the young man in front of him was by no means an object that could be easily handled.
"Is Brother Ji still a Kunlun disciple?"
"Naturally, as for Fang Cai's trick, I hope that Brother Sikong will keep it secret for me, if you are interested, I can also teach you this 'Mighty King Kong Finger'. ”
Sikong Gu smiled secretly in his heart: "When did the Shaolin 72 stunt become those gadgets on the street stalls?
But Sikong Gu knows very well that he has only practiced swordsmanship in the past ten years, although martial arts pay attention to integration, but Sikong's cultivation of internal strength "Hidden Gate Seven Changes" can not be matched with other martial arts, of course, Sikong Gu himself also has a reason why he can't practice the Mighty Vajra Finger.
After making a slightly hesitant look, Sikong Gu shook his head and said: "That's it, if Shaolin knows that he has rested Shaolin martial arts, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to our Sikong family, after all, our Sikong family is in ruins, and it can't be compared...... Kunlun. ”
After that, he turned around and wanted to go to the bedroom, although Fang Cai was just pretending to be drunk, but Sikong Gu still felt a little bit of alcohol surging, Fang Cai and Ji Hualian had a sharp tongue, and it took a lot of energy, and now Sikong Gu just wanted to leave as soon as possible, so as not to be able to continue to hold on to his body.
"Brother Sikong, how about I call you Meng Yuan in the future?"
After getting a puzzled expression, Ji Hualian explained: "In the future, Brother Sikong can call me Zirong, although Kunlun is unwilling to be close to Brother Sikong, Ji Hualian is still willing." ”
Sikong Gu turned his head, he just wanted to lie on the bed now, and after Jia San and Guo Si came back, let them find out all the information about Ji Hualian in the rivers and lakes, since leaving Yangzhou, Sikong Gu This is the second time that he feels uncomfortable that he has no way to control everything in the conditions of insufficient intelligence.
"Si Kong...... Meng Yuan, it's a pity......"
Maybe it was unintentional, or maybe it was intentional, after Sikong Gu left, Ji Hualian's voice came out softly from between his teeth.
month, a little clearer.
