Chapter Forty-Four: The Snake Sword Returns to the Rivers and Lakes

The bandit leader's hungry eyes flashed with Venus, and the bandit walked to the door of a restaurant with his stomach covered and crutches. The guests inside were eating and drinking large chunks of meat, and the bandit leader licked his tongue and touched the empty pocket, fantasizing about whether he could find a copper plate from inside. The two stout hands groped in the two pockets several times, but they did not touch a copper plate. The bandit leader wants to work for the restaurant owner, even if he only cares about his food, but seeing that he is lame, he thinks that the hotel owner will definitely not want a waste. The bandit leader cursed Zhou Qinghai in his heart, scolding Zhou Qinghai for being a bastard, robbing his stockade, robbing his financial reports, and abolishing his martial arts and legs. The loud sound of fist slashing came from the corner of the hotel, and the bandits looked through the window into the corner of the hotel, where several people from the rivers and lakes were drinking and eating meat in large chunks. When the bandit leaders were fighting and robbing, they saw some people in the rivers and lakes, and it was clear from their costumes that they were the Sun and Moon faction. The bandit leader once heard rumors in the rivers and lakes, saying that these people in the rivers and lakes are righteous on the surface, but in fact, they will kill each other for the sake of martial arts secrets and status. Out of hatred for Zhou Qinghai, and even more out of the hungry stomach in front of him, the bandit leader walked into the hotel, stood in front of the disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect, and asked if he could reward him with a mouthful of food. Zhou Bohua, the eldest disciple of the Sun and Moon Sect, saw that the stout man in front of him did not look like a person asking for food, and asked him to get out of the way quickly. The bandit leader still smiled and said that they could tell him a secret, and that they would reward him with a full meal. Zhou Bohua thought that he couldn't lose anything by hearing it, so he asked the bandit leader to tell him what the secret was. The bandit leader said that there was a cottage in Xiaohu Mountain, west of Huashan, and there were a lot of gold and silver treasures in it. Zhou Bohua said that they were not interested in this and told him to get out of here. The bandit had the hope of trying, and said with a smile that the man had a long sword in the shape of a snake in his hand, which was extremely sharp. Zhou Bohua has never seen the snake sword, but he has heard the master say that the snake sword is as sharp as clay, it is one of the best swords in the world, if there is a snake sword, then the master will dominate the martial arts just around the corner. Zhou Bohua asked a junior brother next to him to pull over a stool and let the bandit leader sit down and talk while eating. The bandit sat on the bench, swallowed a large piece of meat with chopsticks, and then drank three bowls of wine in a big gulp, and then told Zhou Bohua about the serpentine sword that Zhou Qinghai's master and apprentice showed when they robbed the cottage. Zhou Bohua asked the bandit to talk in detail about the appearance of the snake sword, which is very similar to the snake sword rumored by the master, and then Zhou Bohua asked the bandit leader to describe the appearance of Zhou Qinghai's master and apprentice, listening to the description of the bandits, Zhou Bohua felt that their martial arts were like martial arts people, but he had never heard of such a character in the rivers and lakes.

Half a year has passed, and in order to mix rice and avoid the pursuit of officers and soldiers, the bandit Kouzi has been walking south along Xiaohu Mountain, and has reached the territory of Sichuan, where he met Zhou Bohua, Wang Huasheng's eldest apprentice, who was passing by. After the bandit leader was full, he grabbed a few pig's trotters and elbows from the table, and followed Zhou Bohua with a smile. A group of hunters rode horses and galloped towards the hotel, and the bandit leader was shocked when he saw it, and hurried to the back of Zhou Bohua. Of course, Zhou Bohua and these martial arts people are not afraid of these quick catches, but Zhou Bohua saw that this person had already told his secret, and it was of no use to him. walked away quickly, caught quickly and quickly held down the bandit leader, and the bandit leader shouted to Zhou Bohua for help, help. Zhou Bohua and a few juniors left without looking back. Zhou Bohua returned to the inn, wrote a letter, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and sent a letter to Master Wang Huasheng. Wang Huasheng was practicing the Sun and Moon Sword Technique by the Sun Moon Lake, and when he saw the carrier pigeon of the Kongtong faction landing on a rock next to him, he put away the sword, put the carrier pigeon in his hand, and pulled out the note. The note read, "Master, find the serpentine sword, come quickly." Wang Huasheng thought about how the snake sword and snake swordsmanship, which had been lost in the rivers and lakes early, suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes. Wang Huasheng wondered if this was a trap set by someone, but he carefully looked at the handwriting on the note again and confirmed that it was Zhou Bohua's handwriting. Zhou Bohua has always been cautious in his work and will not send random messages. Wang Huawen thought to himself that if he got the snake sword and snake sword technique, the world's martial arts alliance leader would be his. When the time comes, sitting on the throne of the leader of the martial arts alliance and commanding the world is something he dreams of. Wang Huawen shouted to the ten capable disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect, asking them to prepare silver taels and dry food, and immediately go to Sichuan to make peace with Zhou Bohua. On the way to Sichuan, Wang Huasheng thought that the person who took the snake and the sword must be a person with a strong martial arts, and he was probably not their opponent with his own martial arts and the martial arts of the Sun and Moon faction. Wang Huasheng thought in his heart that he must unite with others to seize the snake sword, Wang Huawen thought about the martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes, and felt that it was not good to be higher than his own martial arts, and he was much weaker than his own martial arts, and finally remembered that Tian Zhennan's martial arts of the Tiger faction were not weak, and under his own martial arts, he immediately asked a disciple to take his handwritten letter and ask Tian Zhennan to discuss major matters with him. Tian Zhennan looked at Wang Huawen's letter and asked Wang Huawen's disciple what important things he said, but Wang Zhangmen did not explain it in the letter. The disciples of the Sun Moon faction said that the master said that it was an important matter, and he must invite the head of Tian to go to Sichuan to discuss major matters. Tian Zhennan hesitated for a while, thinking about what the hell Wang Huawen was doing, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would not hurt to go to Sichuan, and according to what Wang Huawen said, he would take a few capable disciples to Sichuan. Wang Huawen stood in front of the inn and greeted Tian Zhennan. Tian Zhennan's laughter was like thunder dozens of meters away. Wang Huawen took a few steps forward and went to the inn with Tian Zhennan. In the room of the inn, Wang Huawen closed the doors and windows, and Tian Zhennan said that what was the matter with the head of Wang, it was so mysterious. Wang Huawen sat next to Tian Zhennan and told Tian Zhennan about the reappearance of the snake sword. Tian Zhennan's eyes sunk into the flesh emitted a greedy gaze, looking at the north solemnly. Wang Huawen pulled down Tian Zhennan, and Tian Zhennan woke up from the snake-walking sword. Tian Zhennan said what the head of the Wang family had in mind, although he told his brother. Wang Huawen told Tian Zhennan about the plan, saying that after finally winning the Snake Sword, the two drew lots to decide who was the winner of the Snake Sword, and the person who got the Snake Sword must help the person who did not get the Snake Sword to sit in the second position in the rivers and lakes after sitting on the leader of the martial arts alliance. Tian Zhennan thought for a while, felt that this was a good attention, and agreed with Wang Huawen's attention. Tian Zhennan told Wang Huawen that without further ado, now they hurried to Xiaohu Mountain to fight for the snake sword. Wang Huawen said that Tian Zhangmen is not in a hurry, and will go tomorrow after packing up his wine and food, and recuperating his spirits.
