Chapter 12: Ghosts and Lonely Ghosts [1]

Since Zhong Ming said goodbye to his brother Xiang Xingying and his group and continued to look for the strange boss and Yi Hui, although he kept asking passers-by along the way, he had no choice but to get any information from the two. Although I was a little anxious in my heart, there was nothing I could do, and when I was helpless, my heart suddenly lit up, and I couldn't help but secretly say:

"The strange boss is an old child, usually likes to join in the fun, people say, 'there is heaven, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou', the old man is happy and may have arrived in Hangzhou now. ”

With this thought in mind, he rushed to Hangzhou on this day, and just sat down to eat at an inn outside the city, when he accidentally ran into a ghost. The old fellow was now wearing a huge hat on his head, which almost covered his head and face, and was cowering at a dining table in the corner. Zhong Ming was in a hurry to eat and hurry when he entered the store, so he didn't have the heart to notice him in the store.

The ghost lonely ghost was worried about the loss of Zhong Ming and Yi Hui's target at this time, and he was overjoyed when he saw Zhong Ming, he didn't expect to meet him in such a place, and he was even more overjoyed to see that there were no other people around him. I was a little surprised to see a group of men following behind him.

After a while, with his years of experience, he realized that these people were just looking at the burden on this child. Guessing from the number of opponents, these people have obviously been following Zhong Ming for more than a day, and they have never had a chance to start. Right now, Zhong Ming is about to enter the city, and according to the division of the local thief's territory, this realm has now become the last opportunity for these people to take his burden.

Now that he has understood the intentions of this group, the ghost, the lonely ghost, the cunning and cunning, does not make a noise, and continues to hide in the corner of the inn and just watch the excitement. Wouldn't it be better to just wait for this group of people to do it, and then take action according to the specific situation. As the saying goes: the sandpiper and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.

As a matter of fact, this gang was a gang of robbers in the neighborhood, and as early as yesterday afternoon, they had found a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy with a lot of silver in his baggage, and it was not until noon today that this gang gathered to rob him. The leading thief is nicknamed "Sitting Tiger", with a wide-backed thin blade chop/horse/knife in his hand, this guy has practiced martial arts in Shaolin Temple for many years, and is a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple.

It is said that he had the skill of throwing water without entering the knife with a knife, and more than a dozen of his brothers were all local hooligans and ruffians, and two of them were petty officers who had been driven home by the army. Legend has it that as soon as the war in the northwest of the imperial court stopped, these people were useless for a while, and after returning home, they were lazy to work, and simply ran to the "sitting tiger" to act as the backbone.

"Sitting Tiger" saw the opportunity at the door, and when he saw Zhong Ming put his burden on the table, he just lowered his head to eat, and immediately gave his subordinates a hands-on look. His subordinates were originally a local gangster, familiar with the surrounding environment, and rubbed over to take advantage of Zhong Ming's inattention, grabbed the burden and ran out. Zhong Ming was suddenly robbed by this, and before he could recover for a while, the thief had already run to the door.

For several days in a row, Zhong Ming has been practicing and pondering the "fleeting" passed to him by the strange boss on the road, and he has memorized it by heart. At this time, his mind had rushed to the door, and when he turned around, he almost collided with the thief who stole something. When the man was shocked, he thought that he had run into a ghost during the day, and he yelled and threw his things down and fled.

Zhong Ming had no intention of embarrassing him, he shook his head and smiled, leaned over to clean up the burden on the ground, and before he stood up, he suddenly felt the sound of a blade splitting the wind behind his head, so he had to shrink back in danger. I saw that the burden on the ground was chopped open by a chopping horse/knife, and the silver inside was suddenly scattered all over the ground.

When Zhong Ming saw that the person who came was a stout and short man, the person who came swept at him with a knife. Zhong Ming and Yi Hui have been practicing the offensive and defensive essentials of boxing along the way, and they have been guided by the strange boss, and at this time it is no longer comparable to the original Zhong Ming. He relied on the speed of his body, and at this time, he did not dodge or fight, but simply crashed into the opponent's arms.

"Sitting Tiger" originally had some skills in knife skills, but he had never dealt with this kind of fighting. His chop/horse/knife was originally built according to his physical strength, at this time, he moved the knife heavily, swept out, and the knife swept out and the center of gravity of the body had been coordinated in advance, and it was impossible to retract the change on the way. The young man who was actually drilled into his arms suddenly hit his head, and the chop/horse/knife flew to the door frame of the inn, and the handle of the knife trembled slightly.

The two retired officers under the "Sitting Tiger" were originally battle-hardened, but after seeing the leader being knocked over, they thought that this young man was just a little brute force, and a single knife in one of their hands attacked Zhong Ming left and right. Since Zhong Ming mastered this "fleeting", his eyes have been opened, and he has become as clumsy as a snail for the forward and backward speed of ordinary people.

On a whim, he used his quick movement to instantly knock the left one head-on, and then the right one from behind. Then he smiled at the group on the ground, thinking that it was quite interesting, and then went to pick up the silver on the ground as if nothing had happened.

All this made the ghost and lonely ghost in the corner of the inn stunned and privately envious. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, this kid's martial arts had progressed so quickly, which further strengthened his greed for Zhong Ming's martial arts exercises. When the robbers saw that they had encountered a martial arts master, their lives were important, and after the leader gave a whistle, he immediately ran away.

As the saying goes: the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch comes behind. Zhong Ming, who was picking up silver, would never have thought that there were still people calculating him, and at this time he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left ribs, and then his back was hit by a cold gas at the same time, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, trembling all over, and he couldn't move.

Before he could understand, he only heard an old man behind him laugh, instantly turned to Zhong Ming, and then took off the hat on his head and asked Zhong Ming:

"Son-in-law Xiang, do you recognize the old man?"

"Ghosts and ghosts!"

"Alas-my old man is very old, you are a little boy, it's always okay to call me uncle, why do you still call me like that?"

"It's only unyielding to call you an old bastard! You and I have no grudges, why do you always have trouble with me three times and twice?"

"Little guy, don't get excited, as the saying goes: anxious and yellow...... In such weather, it is really not suitable to catch fire. Didn't the old man already tell you, you kid himself is a treasure, if anyone can get you, who is equivalent to getting all the cultivation methods of quitting killing Lao Er, so it is not too much to say that you yourself are a living practice secret!"

"What the hell do you want to do to me?"

"You can rest assured, I will not easily damage such a precious 'martial arts secret' of yours, if I can make a specimen and retain your memory, I will spare no expense to make you the best specimen in the world. It's a pity that the only thing the old man can do now is not to hurt you, and he has to desperately protect your life. Until the old man gets all the practice methods you have since you were a child, the old man will keep his word, and he will definitely give you back your freedom!"

Zhong Ming naturally didn't believe his nonsense, so he could only scoff at it, not believing that the ghost and lonely ghost could talk and count, and he had no intention of explaining it to him. But after thinking about it, he thought that if he wanted to escape now, he could only get a chance when he let down his vigilance, so he had to consult him with kind words:

"In that case, why do you bother so much. You might as well make a gentleman's agreement between you and me, and then I'll immediately tell you all the secrets of your practice, isn't it? You might as well untie the acupoints on my body first, after the matter is completed, we will not interfere with the river water, we will go our own way, and we will not invade each other, what do you think?"

"Do you think the old man is stupid?" the ghost smiled and said, "Once the old man unlocks your acupoint, your kid's light skills are like lightning, how can the old man restrain you, and why should you be obedient at that time!"

"You can't just make me unable to move, can you?" Zhong Ming asked helplessly.

"You can rest assured of this, since the old man can take you down, he has already prepared a strategy to deal with your kid, and there is no way to deal with you. ”

Just as the ghost and the lonely ghost were talking, Zhong Ming suddenly felt that the acupoint in his chest and abdomen was suddenly hit by a cold breath, and he couldn't help but tremble. It turned out that this old guy actually attacked himself again for the sake of insurance. The Jizhong acupoint is an important acupuncture point on the human dantian, and after this acupoint is sealed, no matter how strong your internal strength is, it will not be able to be exerted, just like closing the door of the dantian.

Zhong Ming was stunned by this, only to see the ghost and lonely ghost smile "hehe", and then broke Zhong Ming's mouth, and with a flick of his fingers, he sent a black pill to his voice. Before Zhong Ming could react, the strange old man poked him in the ribs again, and when Mengqing was distracted by the pain, the pill at his throat was swallowed by him in a daze.

It was only at this time that the ghost lonely ghost let out a long breath, and after reopening Zhong Ming's mouth to check whether the pill had been swallowed, he said with satisfaction:

"As long as you swallow this pill, the old man is not afraid that your kid will be disobedient. After a while, the internal force in your kid's body is as if all of them have been abolished, and you can't show any martial arts, if you don't believe it, you kid just try. ”

Zhong Ming only felt that this pill was fishy and pungent, and after swallowing it in his stomach, there was a "gurgling" sound in his stomach. In order to prove it to him, the ghost and lonely ghost suddenly untied all the acupoints around him with a flick of the sleeves of his robe. Zhong Ming's first action after being unlocked was to run, but he didn't expect that his feet were already sore and weak as soon as he was raised, and the "fleeting" not only couldn't be used, but almost fell on his heels.

Then Zhong Ming hurriedly pointed two fingers at the dry old man, not only did he not hear the finger wind, but he saw that the other party laughed as if he was watching a monster, and the finger power in his hand disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't exert any internal strength. In desperation, he had no choice but to hit the other party headlong, hoping to knock over the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to hold down his head with only two fingers, so that he couldn't move.

After tossing like this, Zhong Ming didn't have any strength in the face of this dry monster, but he was tired and panting, and he was sweating. It was only then that he believed that what the old man said was true, and now he had to calm down and hope that the medicinal power in his body would dissipate as soon as possible, and then make a plan. Therefore, I can only sit on the ground and play tricks.

Seeing such a scene, the ghost and lonely ghost couldn't help but laugh again, and Zhong Ming laughed more than crying when he saw this skinny guy for the first time. For this reason, his eyes rolled, and he coughed dryly, and the ghost did not know what he was doing, but reached out to lift Zhong Ming, who was now unable to struggle, but his mind was still clear.

When he saw the other party's face close to him, he suddenly spit on his face, which surprised the other party, and the ghost and lonely ghost never thought that he was coughing dryly and was trying to cough up phlegm. The ghost and lonely ghost suffered such humiliation, and couldn't help but be furious, and immediately raised his palm to Zhong Ming's head and was about to cut it off.

When he saw Zhong Ming's appearance of Yang Shou standing up, he suddenly changed his mind again, just grabbed the corner of the other party's clothes and wiped the phlegm on his face, then giggled again, withdrew his palm, and then said:

"You kid wants to provoke the old man to kill you...... No way! How can the old man turn the living treasure in his hand into a dead corpse, if you become a dead corpse, it is not as valuable as a dead dog. Dead dogs can still eat meat, I don't know what use you will have after you die? Since you vomited the old man's shit, I have to return it to you, and the old man is very comfortable to wipe your clothes. ”

Such a strange movement of the two attracted the attention of all the diners in the inn, and when the ghost and lonely ghost said this, he suddenly turned back to the inn guests who were looking strangely around, his eyes were full of his true form, and then he roared viciously:

"Go, go, go...... It's none of your business here, if you want to save your life, you can do whatever you want, what's there to see! The child ran away from home, was robbed on the way, and happened to be found by his family. It's just that this kid in my family is very naughty and out of line, and if he doesn't want to go home, he won't go home, and he actually spit on his grandfather's face. ”

Seeing that everyone in the audience was dodging, Zhong Ming just wanted to scold, but he was immediately pointed at the dumb hole, and he couldn't make a sound. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the ghost rewrapped the gold and silver scattered on the ground and carried it behind him. Then his expression changed, and he immediately became very alert, as if he sensed something, and then lifted Zhong Ming under his armpit, abandoned the normal path, and then performed light skills, and ran into the wilderness like a horse.

Zhong Ming couldn't help but admire this old guy in private, who would have thought that this monster-like guy was like a skeleton of bones, and his strength between his movements was surprisingly great, and although he was holding a person under his armpit, it was as easy as walking with an empty body. Although Zhong Ming's internal force could not be exerted for a while, his vision was still the same, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart:

"Don't underestimate this old boy who is full of skin and bones, but his martial arts are unique, although he is not as good as his own 'fleeting', at this time, although he still has a person under his armpit, in this potholed field, he is as fast as a horse running on the avenue, which is indeed unusual. I just don't know what he's going to do with himself next?"
