Chapter 36: The Competition

Dongyang toasted with Deng Ruihu again.

The fourth senior brother said, "Let's not get up and drink, I like to drink freely." I am Lu Yunli's fourth senior brother, named Xia Gaoqi, and others call me a drunken maniac. ”

Then it was originally Hou Xiao who introduced it, Hou Xiao and Lu Muran were still arguing, and they had no intention of stopping at all, and the topic of the quarrel was no longer venison.

Who knows, Hou Xiao immediately stopped arguing and introduced himself: "My name is Hou Xiao, I am his fifth senior brother, I have never walked in the rivers and lakes, and I don't have a name." ”

Lu Muran also reported his name and said: "I am Lu Yunli's master, Lu Muran, the people on the rivers and lakes give face and call me Biaoye." ”

Dongyang got up when he heard this, bowed deeply, and offered a glass of wine. Both of them did it at the same time.

Lu Yunli also toasted Lu Muran with a glass of wine, and the two of them also did it.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was full, Lu Muran proposed, and said, "I'm full, I'm free, I heard that Brother Dongyang is the chief of the Golden Praetorian Guard, and he is on par with the master of the Black Snake, how about learning skills with my apprentice?"

Dongyang subconsciously glanced at Lu Yunli, and Lu Yunli just smiled and didn't give any hints. Dongyang thought for a moment and said, "It's just to learn martial arts, and it's up to the point." ”

Lu Muran said with a smile: "I have a wooden sword and gun stick, and I must not hurt my anger." ”

Xia Gaoqi got up and went to pick a long wooden knife, and Dongyang also picked a long wooden knife, and the weapons of the two were the same.

There were only twelve servants in the compound, and they were all tidying up, which made it seem very empty.

The two of them walked to the middle of the compound with wooden knives in hand, although it was a wooden knife, but the edge and tip of the knife were very sharp.

Lu Yunli shouted: "The point is up, don't hurt the peace, start." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xia Gaoqi rushed forward, lifted the wooden knife and slashed, the speed was not inferior to the black snake that fought with him a few days ago. Dong Yang's eyes are quick and he calmly parries, Xia Gaoqi only blindly attacks, and Dong Yang only blindly defends. Dongyang is attacking in order to see the opponent's moves, and more than 20 moves have passed, but he can't see the number of ways at all, and every time he makes the next move, he attacks something unexpected, so that Dongyang can't find the law.

After fighting for more than thirty times, Dongyang began to exert his strength, turning defense into offense, and a wooden knife made it fast. This change caught Xia Gaoqi off guard, and he originally thought of the position of the next move in his mind, but it was forced into a defensive posture, forcing him to take a few steps back before he stood firm.

Dongyang is a straight person, and he didn't want to use any tricks, but he just changed his moves for a while. Without waiting for Xia Gaoqi to stand firm, an arrow rushed to him, stabbing Xia Gaoqi's heart diagonally from the bottom up.

Xia Gaoqi grabbed the knife with his backhand, blocked it stiffly, and took a few steps back with his strength, Dongyang didn't give him a chance to breathe, jumped up suddenly, and cut Xia Gaoqi's neck. Xia Gaoqi took the wooden knife to block, only to feel that the winter sun had an imposing momentum, and did not dare to underestimate it, the two of them blew the internal force on the wooden knife at the same time, and the moment they collided, there was a "bang", and the two wooden knives were broken into scattered pieces of wood, and pieces were scattered in the air.

Dongyang suddenly felt that it was too rude, and hurriedly stopped, and said apologetically: "I was too involved just now, and I lost my sense of proportion, Brother Xia, don't be surprised." ”

Xia Gaoqi has also been walking around the rivers and lakes for some years, and such a tough opponent is still rarely encountered, and he also admires and says: "Brother Dong is very skilled, if I had a real sword in my hand just now, I would have been defeated." ”

Lu Muran clapped his hands and said loudly: "Good kung fu, no wonder the number two person of the Black Snake was almost folded in your hands." ”

Dongyang bowed to Lu Muran and said, "It's ugly in front of the seniors." ”

Lu Muran said to Lu Yunli again: "You compete with your second senior brother to see if you have been lazy outside in the past few months." ”

Lu Yunli took the order, reached out and picked out a wooden sword on the weapon rack, the tip of the sword sharpened. Deng Ruihu didn't take anything, and stood in the middle of the courtyard with his bare hands. Dongyang has seen Lu Yunli make a move, the speed is so fast that few people in the world can compare, although it is a wooden sword, it is so sharp, plus he has practiced his strength every day along the way, I don't know how Deng Ruihu will take this move.

Lu Yunli stood still with the wooden sword, five steps away from Deng Ruihu, and arched his hand and said, "Second senior brother, I have offended." ”

As soon as the words fell, a sword stabbed out and went straight to Deng Ruihu's throat. The speed is as fast as lightning, and it is difficult to parry if the martial arts are a little weaker, but this sword is excellent in terms of strength and accuracy. Seeing that he was about to stab into Deng Ruihu's throat, I saw that he flashed, his figure was still in place, the person had already flashed to Lu Yunli's side, his right hand pinched his fingers, and only flicked on the sword, the wooden sword flew out of his hand, and when it flew three or four steps away in the air, the sword body broke, scattered into seven or eight pieces, and scattered on the ground.

Lu Yunli was shocked from the tiger's mouth, and said: "Second Senior Brother's domineering kung fu is probably insurmountable in my life. ”

Deng Ruihu smiled: "You have also grown, but not much." ”

Hou Xiao interjected on the side: "The second senior brother is also good at hurting people." ”

Deng Ruihu was not angry, and said: "The little monkey's answering skills are not weak. ”

Hou Xiao was said by this, I don't know what to say, if I continue to refute, I will really fall into the trap, if I don't refute, I feel too aggrieved, I can't speak for a while, and my little face is red.

Lu Muran said: "It's just a stroke of my own junior brother, so noisy is not afraid of making people laugh." There was no over-the-top tone in the words, but it seemed so majestic that it was impossible to disobey. Seeing that everyone was silent, he said, "Tonight is a great time, so let's stop here, little monkey vigil, and the others go back to sleep." ”

Everyone dispersed, Lu Yunli called Hou Xiao to the side, bought him a big bag of candy in the city today, stuffed it in Hou Xiao's arms, and whispered: "Don't be greedy, you can only eat one piece a day, hide it, don't let the ants eat it." ”

Hou Xiao agreed with a satisfied face, turned around and disappeared into the dark mountains and forests.

Lu Yunli took Dongyang back to the room, Dongyang was curious and wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start. Lu Yunli settled Dongyang and was about to go back to his room, but was stopped by Dongyang: "It's so early, I can't sleep when I go back, here, let's talk." ”

Lu Yunli was indeed tired, although he only had one move in the sword competition just now, he had indeed exhausted all the things he had learned in the past few years, but he still couldn't resist the second senior brother's move, and he was very tired both physically and mentally. said to Dongyang: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm really tired, don't walk around at night, I will be attacked by tigers and leopards here." After saying that, he returned to his room, the familiar environment, furnishings, breath, and bed, and fell asleep.

I slept soundly, and I had never slept so well for months, and I didn't wake up until dawn. Wash up and go out, breakfast is already ready. Lu Muran, Hou Xiao, and Liu Wuqiao were eating, but there was no Deng Ruihu and Dong Yang.

Lu Yunli suddenly remembered that he went to find Dongyang, saw that he was still in the room, and waited anxiously.

Lu Yunli said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I slept too well last night, so I got up late." ”

Dongyang just held back a few words in his mouth: "Where is the thatched house?"

Lu Yunli immediately understood that this night was all held back, because he was told that he could not move around casually. Hurriedly took Dongyang to the thatched house. Not long after, Dongyang came out, was reborn, and immediately became alive.

Lu Yunli said: "Brother Dong, come down the mountain with me after breakfast in a while, and I'll take you to the dart game." ”

Dongyang is indeed not used to staying on this mountain, and when he was said so, he just couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly agreed.

After breakfast, Lu Yunli went into the mountains to find Lu Muran, he knew that the master would take a walk in the mountains after eating. Although there is no specific location, Lu Yunli can find it every time with his own feelings. This time was no exception, not far away, Lu Muran was walking through the mountain road full of trees with his hands behind his back. Beside him, there was a tiger with a golden body and a dark black pattern, the tiger was not large, but it was strong, and there were many scars on its body that had healed, obviously it had experienced too many tests of life and death.

Lu Yunli quickly ran forward and said, "Master, I want to send Dongyang to the Nine Gates Dart Bureau to be an ordinary dart master, what do you think?"

Lu Muran looked at Lu Yunli and wanted to say something, but the words stopped when they came to his lips, and he only said, "It's okay, go and go back quickly." ”

Lu Yun thanked him and left quickly.

Lu Muran looked at Lu Yunli's back until he disappeared from sight. Turn around and continue the walk with the tiger.

Lu Yunli ran up the mountain, but Dongyang was still in the room, not afraid to go out, not because he was afraid of these tigers and leopards. But I saw Deng Ruihu's kung fu last night, if you compare it with yourself, it should be on par. What's more, there is the senior brother and the third senior brother who didn't show up. Since the apprentice has such martial arts, what realm has his master Lu Muran reached. Previously, he thought that there were few opponents in the world in the palace, and only Wei Qian could have a few moves with him, and then he was fortunate to have a fight with the general Lan Ji, who did not use any full strength to fight a draw. That's to do it for the face of Jincheng Tianzi, if you really start to do it, although you can't do it, you don't think it's too bad. suddenly felt that he was so weak, and I don't know how many people in this world are higher than their own kung fu.

In distress, Lu Yunli came in, saw Dongyang with a blank face, and asked, "What's wrong?"

When Dongyang saw Lu Yunli, he felt that this person was in such a place where all the people around him had outstanding martial arts, and his own martial arts were so poor, he could still laugh. Puzzled, he asked, "Look at the several senior brothers around you, each of them has a unique skill, how can you still be so relaxed?

Lu Yunli was happy when he heard him say this, and said with a smile: "You don't know what kind of place this is, do you?"

Dongyang: "Heavenly Mountain." ”

Lu Yunli: "Have you heard the rumors of the four forbidden places in the rivers and lakes?"

Although Dongyang has lived in the palace for a long time, after all, he is a person who practices martial arts, and he has heard of the names of the four forbidden places, and said: "The valley and the forest sea." ”

Lu Yunli: "This valley and forest sea are the Heavenly Peerless Mountain, the Netherworld Valley, the Joyful Forest, and the Jade Qiong Sea. No matter what kind of people are in these four places, they are not allowed to enter without invitation. But whoever walks in will die. The apprentices my master has accepted are all the best martial arts seedlings among tens of millions of people, and they are not comparable to a half-person like me. ”
