Two months later, Lu Fei, Lu Yi and Jiang Feiyan, Gu Yao's two groups of people came back separately, and the operation was a complete victory, the two factions of You Long and Daxiong had no power to resist, and all the people who participated in the killing of Zhong Yuanpeng were cut off, causing an uproar in the rivers and lakes, but they didn't know what sect did it. It's a pity that they didn't catch Wang Qiu's two main culprits, and the disciples of the two gangs said that Wang Qiu and the two didn't return to the faction with the team at all, but went all the way north to the Jin Kingdom. Luo Zhu and the others did not regret when they learned the news of their escape, so they wanted to take revenge after practicing martial arts.

The sun and the moon alternate, the stars shift, time passes like a white horse, and it is three years in the blink of an eye. Luo Tianchu and Zhu Yushi's appearance and temperament have undergone a big change, and now they are both eight-foot-tall young men in the wind. Luo Tianchu's martial arts made the fastest progress, far exceeding everyone's expectations. "Yijin Sutra" has been a small success, and "Demon Suppression Sword Technique" has also been practiced to the fourth level. Gu Yao competed with him, and he couldn't beat him within thirty moves. Afterwards, Gu Yao smiled and said: "If it goes on like this, I will definitely not be Xiao Luo's opponent in two years."

In contrast, Zhu Yushi is much more low-key, he has practiced Jiang Feiyan's "Lingxiao Qingyun Step" and "Flying Flower Finger", but he rarely shows his martial arts, and not many people know about it. And his Gu technique never shows people, because Gu art can't be learned, and once he is under the Gu, it will harm people. He had learned most of Jia Yinyang's skills, and had cultivated three overlord Gu on his own, a colorful poisonous bee, a white jade scorpion, and a green-headed centipede. These three things were all fed by Zhu Yushi with his own blood, and even Jia Yinyang didn't dare to approach them at will. When practicing Gu, he used pheasants and wild cats, and had never used them on people. Seeing the tragic death of those animals, Zhu Yushi secretly resolved not to use it on people until he had to. Now the heavy responsibility of going to Baimao Valley to collect poison has been borne by Zhu Yushi alone, and three of the four Gu Miao old men died in the valley within three years, all because they did not obey Zhu Yushi's advice and acted without authorization. Only one Gu Min named Brother Lan obeyed him, so he was safe.

There was nothing to do on this day, Luo Tianchu, Zhu Yushi, Jiang Feiyan, Gu Yao, Yan Weifeng, and Xue'er made an appointment to go down the mountain to Tianshui Town, thirty miles away. Over the past few years, these six people have become friends, they are not much different in age, they have similar personalities, they always have topics together, and sometimes they go down the mountain to play together.

The six of them rode high-headed horses, and while laughing, two people rode in front of them, it was Tie Han, the master of the Storm Hall, and his son Tie Ying. Iron Eagle waved to them from afar, but Tie Han was expressionless and continued to ride his horse forward. He is the head of the four hall masters, although he is blind, his martial arts are unfathomable, usually taciturn, upright, and everyone respects and fears him. The six of them saluted at the same time on the horse and said, "Hello Lord of the Iron Hall." Tie Han has no eyes than eyes, as soon as he hears the sound of voices and breathing, he knows who they are, and said: "You are all important people in my castle, why do you always run out? Tie Leng snorted: "It's just the new doll, Master Jiang, Master Guzhai, how can you mess with them." "Tie Han is the oldest in the Blood Sword Castle, and he is also straightforward and ruthless when he speaks to other hall masters, except for Zhao Hengshan who dares to say a word or two, no one else is willing to contradict him. Jiang Feiyan reluctantly smiled and said, "The Iron Hall Master taught a lesson. Tie Han's fish-white eyes stared at Jiang Feiyan, making him uncomfortable, Tie Han said: "I think you are a drunkard, and you want to go to the town to ask for a few good drinks?" Jiang Feiyan smiled dryly: "Hehe, I want to have a few drinks, the Iron Hall Master really understands me." Tie Ying said lightly: "You were a drunkard when you entered the castle, Gongsun Mingyue was afraid that you would make a mistake after drinking, so you were not allowed to eat and drink on the mountain, so you had to secretly go to the town to eat, remember that the things in the cup are demoralizing, and you must not indulge in this." Jiang Feiyan sighed: "Yes." Tie Han turned to Gu Yao again and said, "Not to mention you, it must be your lady of the fifth room who asked you to go to the town to buy women's things." Gu Yao smiled embarrassedly: "There are five tiger generals in the family, and I have to follow." Tie Handao said disdainfully: "One is more useless than the other." He also pointed to Luo Tianchu, Zhu Yushi, Yan Weifeng, and Ling Xue'er said: "You have not achieved success in your studies, you have eaten and drunk, and you have not lived up to the expectations of the castle lord and military advisor." The four of them hung their heads, not daring to answer. Tie Han sighed and rode past them. In fact, Tie Ying also had the heart to join them, but seeing that his father was so angry, he had to swallow his words back, made a sympathetic expression at them, and left.

When the two of them walked away, they breathed a sigh of relief, and Gu Yao said, "Which of you has ever seen the Iron Hall Master boast about people?" everyone shook their heads. Jiang Feiyan smiled bitterly: "The Iron Hall Master is not only strict with his subordinates, but also strict with himself, he must be the first to arrive and the last to leave when a soldier goes out." Of all the halls, Storm Hall has the highest training intensity. On the contrary, the master of the hall trained the soldiers mainly to inspire, treating the soldiers as friends, cordial but dignified, and the soldiers respected him from the heart, not feared. "Luo Tianchu has often been in contact with Lu Fei over the years, and he is very respectful of Lu Fei's ability, and he has a deep understanding after listening to it. The six of them chatted all the way, and unconsciously arrived at Tianshui City.

Tianshui City is located at the junction of the Song, Jin and Tibetan countries, and is an important commercial town for the three kingdoms. On the way, the caravans of various countries flowed endlessly, and the shouts were incessant. Tea and silk from the Song Dynasty, fur from the Jin Kingdom, game, Cordyceps sinensis from Tibet, and cattle and sheepskin goods are all in demand. On the streets, the restaurants are full of bargaining and foaming merchants, and even merchants from as far away as Xixia and Dali also come to sell their goods. The places where merchants gather are always high-end restaurants, tea houses and casino green houses, which also provide convenience for business negotiations. None of them came to play all at once, and went straight to a restaurant called 'Drunkard'. The building has three floors, and the decoration is luxurious, Gu Yao is generous, and throws money to Xiao Er, "The third floor greets." Xiao Er hurriedly smiled and said, "Guest officer, please go upstairs, the top is spacious." ”

The third floor was full of private rooms, separated by screens, and they chose a private room by the street to sit down, looking down through the window on the endless street. Xiao Er said: "What do you want from the guest officer?" Gu Yao leaned lazily on the back of the chair and said, "Although the good wine and good food are served, let your most popular sister come to chant a little tune, and there will be no shortage of rewards." "Before he entered the castle, he was a young man in Tokyo, hangover every day, spending money like earth, he can be described as the saint of the wind and the moon, and the veteran of flowers. It's a place like this. Xiao Er knew that he was an expert as soon as he saw his posture, and said with a smile: "Yes, everything will be done according to what the uncle said." Jiang Feiyan suddenly said: "Brother Gu, forget it, don't forget that the eldest lady is there." Gu Yao suddenly came to his senses, sat up straight, found that Ling Xue'er's little face was pale with anger, glared at him fiercely, and said, "Okay, Gu Yao, I'll complain to your wives when I go back, you just have to leave when you can't finish eating." Gu Yao was amused in his heart, secretly thinking that he was just looking for a few red fans to accompany the wine, even if he really stayed in the Qinglou overnight, the ladies would laugh when they learned about it. But in front of Ling Xue'er and being able to tell the truth, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Ling is angry, I don't dare to do it." Then he said to Xiao Er: "Just bring the wine and food." Xiao Er answered and hurriedly went downstairs. Ling Xue'er was angry: "I really don't understand how those five sisters can like people like you." Jiang Feiyan smiled and sighed: "Gu Yao is a big expert in the red powder pile, don't ask, the castle master blames us." Ling Xue'er snorted, puffed up her mouth, and said to Luo Tianchu intentionally or unintentionally: "Do you also want to find someone to accompany you?" Luo Tianchu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "What...... Nothing. Ling Xue'er gave him a blank look and said, "All have a virtue." Gu Yaoxuan raised his eyebrows, glanced at her and Luo Tianchu, and showed an imperceptible smile.

After the wine and food came up, Yan Weifeng ate two glasses, poetry swelled up, and said loudly: "If there is wine, there must be poetry, why don't we make a poem on the topic, how about not punishing wine?" Zhu Yushi shook his head and said: "Don't you look at my jokes, where can I write any poems." Gu Yao shook his head with a wine glass and said: "If there is no beautiful woman to accompany me, I am not interested, why don't you let Xiao Luo take the eldest lady to the street, and how about we go to the 'Moon Tower' opposite to have two more glasses?" Yan Weifeng's eyes lit up and said, "Very good." "Although Gu Yao and him have a master-apprentice relationship, the two of them 'smell like', they both like to chant the wind and the moon, ink and blue, usually laugh and play, and have no master-apprentice courtesy. Ling Xue'er stared at her and said: "A low level is a low level, why are you making so many excuses, am I not a woman, am I not beautiful, why can't you make poetry." Gu Yao knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly said: "It's my low level, don't blame the eldest lady." Ling Xue'er snorted and ignored him. Luo Tianchu said: "Hall Master Jiang, I haven't known the origin of my castle after going up the mountain for so long, and now it's fine, you can tell us about it." ”

Jiang Feiyan nodded and said, "It's okay." Our Blood Knife Fort is not like Shaolin, Zhengyi, and Emei with a long history, and it has only been a few decades since it was established. The previous lord of the castle, Ning Tianyu, was our founding ancestor, he was originally a master of seclusion in Sichuan, because he was unwilling to be lonely and walked the mountains and lakes, and wanted to make a difference. You Lijian unintentionally got a treasure knife in the mountains and forests, because the blade is dark red, extremely sharp, sharpened iron like clay, he named it 'Blood Knife', and after returning to Sichuan, the name of this knife founded the Blood Knife Castle. In the ten years since the creation of the castle, there has been little to do, and there are few disciples. Once, the old castle owner found a man on the side of the road who was sick with the epidemic and was dying. The old castle owner was kind-hearted, and regardless of the danger of infection, he took him back to the fort for medical treatment. It took two years to recover, and in order to repay the old castle lord for saving his life, he joined the Blood Knife Castle, that is, the Iron Hall Master. The Lord of the Iron Hall is a martial arts master who has lived in seclusion for many years, acting decisively, and having a city in mind, and soon became the right and left hand of the old castle lord, which made our castle grow a lot, and Yang Tan, a good man in the green forest, and Gao Xuan, a strange man in the rivers and lakes, also joined us at that time. The old castle lord and the iron hall lord were the same age, so they became brothers and sisters. A few years later, on a rainy day, the old castle lord rescued a hungry and cold baby on the way back to the castle, and adopted him as a righteous son, teaching him martial arts. The lord of the castle is a genius, and at the age of fourteen, his martial arts are not inferior to the old castle lord. The old castle lord took him seriously, so he passed on the 'blood knife' to him. The castle lord felt that the old castle lord's self-created knife technique was too ordinary, so he carried the knife to the deep mountains to practice. Returned three years later, created the peerless knife method "Blood Knife Nine Tips", its power is earth-shattering, the upper can be Fu Xian, the lower can be punished, the old castle lord and the iron hall master are not opponents, that year the castle lord is only eighteen years old, so far undefeated, even the Tubo Huangsha City Lord Chu Laike can only resist five knives. The old hall master passed on the title of castle lord to him, and he died soon after. Under the leadership of the lord of Lingbao, the Blood Knife Fort is becoming stronger and stronger, and there is a Gongsun military division, the four hall masters and the six village lords to help, which is what it is today. Because the heroes do not often walk in the rivers and lakes, so that the name of our castle is not famous. In fact, our leaders used to be heroes in the rivers and lakes, and everyone had a legendary story, and after joining our castle, they disappeared, and the people on the rivers and lakes did not know where they went. We are determined to do a vigorous and vigorous cause, and we can do this in vain, and these ambitions can be realized in the Blood Knife Castle. Luo Tianchu exclaimed: "The castle master is really amazing, the achievement of eighteen-year-old is stronger than the life of others, but where is the blood knife now, why have I never seen it?" Jiang Feiyan said embarrassedly: "The reason for this matter is still to ask the eldest lady to tell me." Ling Xue'er sighed and said, "The blood knife was taken away by my mother." Zhu Yushi said: "No wonder I have never seen the castle lord's wife, but why did the lady take the knife away?" Ling Xue'er's eyes were a little moist, and she sighed: "My father used to be fond of martial arts, and he used a knife to ponder every day, so he snubbed my mother, I was angry that he loved the knife more than her, and ran away from home with a knife in a rage, and I didn't know where to go for five years." After that, he cried in a low voice, and Luo Tianchu comforted him with kind words. Zhu Yushi was puzzled: "Why don't you get your wife back?" There are many eyes and ears under the military advisor, and it shouldn't be difficult to find someone. Gu Yao said with a smile: "Madame's name is You Jingyao, she was once the saintess of Xiushui Palace, and her martial arts were not much weaker than the castle lord at the beginning, unless she was willing to show up, no one would want to find her." ”

Luo Tianchu said: "Who is the Chu guest who can receive the sword of the castle master mentioned by Brother Jiang?" Jiang Feiyan said with a smile: "Chu Laike is the first master of Tubo, and was named the god of Zhenjiang by the Tubo Emperor, and was given a large territory, sitting in the 'Huangsha City', and calling himself the lord of Huangsha City. It seems that he has become the local emperor of the soil. He had unlimited scenery in his previous life, but he had a bumpy road in the second half of his life, it seems that God is fair, and no one can have good luck in his life. Luo Tianchu said with interest: "How the road is bumpy." Jiang Feiyan said: "That year, he traveled to Western Xia and met You Jingyao, who was young and beautiful like a fairy. One of them is the first master of Tubo, and the other is the saintess of Xixia Xiushui Palace, all of whom are above the sky and extremely confident, and they immediately started when their words were not in harmony, Chu Lai never expected that You Jingyao would be able to fight until Lily was undefeated, so he was deeply fascinated by this beautiful and individual woman, moved his true feelings, couldn't bear to hurt her, and let her go. Afterwards, he thought about You Jingyao, his soul was not reluctant, and he swore that he would not marry You Jingyao, and finally found the Xiushui Palace, and after explaining the requirements to the palace master Ni Hongyan, Ni Hongyan was furious, knowing that the disciples of the Xiushui Palace are all women, practicing pure yin martial arts, and it is strictly forbidden to associate with men, You Jingyao is the next palace master to choose, and can marry. But after all, Chu Laike is a martial arts master with the same identity as Ni Hongyan, and because of his identity, Ni Hongyan can only close the door and hope that he will leave by himself. Unexpectedly, Chu Laike was determined to marry You Jingyao, so he did not hesitate to put down his worth and kneel in front of the Xiushui Palace for seven days and seven nights, without eating or drinking. In order to make him completely dead, Ni Hongyan took You Jingyao out of the palace to see him, and asked You Jingyao to reject him personally. Chu Laike sighed, extremely sad. Ni Hongyan told him the rules in the palace that You Jingyao would never marry in her life. Chu Laike finally calmed down and said that since You Jingyao would never marry, then he would never marry for life, so as to show his determination. If it ends here, it's a good thing. But not long after the incident, You Jingyao went to the Central Plains and met the lord of Lingbao by accident, and the two were destined to be fateful, and they both wore the red line of Yue Lao. People who are destined don't have to wait for a thousand words, and soon they will be happy and fall in love. Because of this, You Jingyao gave up the position of saint and lived in the Blood Knife Castle for a long time. This incident completely angered Ni Hongyan and Chu Lai, Ni Hongyan was the first to come to the door to ask for the guilt, and You Jingyao knelt on the ground and begged the master to let her go. Ni Hongyan knew that she was not a virgin, she had broken the exercises, and her skills were only thirty percent left, and the wood had been completed, and there was no way to return to the sky, but the door rules could not be abolished, and she had to clean up the portal. At this time, the lord of the castle stepped forward and was willing to accept it for You Jingyao and take her three palms. Ni Hongyan was angry and he agreed rampantly, and after three palms, he thought that the castle lord would die, but the castle lord only suffered serious internal injuries, but his life was safe. Ni Hongyan kept her promise, so she stopped the matter and officially expelled You Jingyao from the palace. But Chu Laike was not so easy to speak, he had a deep affection for You Jingyao, and he didn't dare to be angry with her, so he vented all his anger on the Lord of Lingbao, and he had to duel. The lord of the castle had no choice but to fight, and the two fought equally, and Chu Laike showed what he had learned in his life, and his moves were all killers, and he showed no mercy. It was one of the best jousts I've ever seen, and I learned a lot from it. The castle lord was not healed from his injuries, and it was difficult to fight for a long time, so he was forced to take out the blood knife and cast the 'Blood Knife Nine Decisions', and finally defeated Chu Laike in the fifth move. The lord of the castle felt sorry for him as a hero, and couldn't bear to kill him, so he let him go. Chu Laike mistakenly thought that Ling Junlai was humiliating him, which aroused his aggressiveness, and he would come to challenge every three years in the future, and each time he was defeated by the bloody knife. It's been almost three years since the last martial arts competition, and I believe he will come again. Luo Tianchu was puzzled: "This person has been defeated repeatedly, I don't know what to do, why does the castle lord always let him go?" Jiang Feiyan said: "Heroes cherish heroes, there are not many people who are worthy of being the opponents of the castle lord, and being invincible in the world is also a kind of loneliness." ”
