Chapter 13: Creation and Trickery [4]
"I didn't expect that there seemed to be someone here who came to grab a deal for the two of us!" Zhong Ming couldn't help but whisper to his companions.
Yi Hui was just about to speak, when he suddenly found a person dressed as the head of the guard in the courtyard below walking out of the room, this person walked around the courtyard, and then shouted to the sentry inside and outside the courtyard:
"Everyone has to take a closer look today, the safety of the head of the Royal Internal Affairs Office is all on everyone, although it is said that everyone is behind the black pot if something goes wrong, but after finding out who is responsible, I can't be the first to spare him!"
The two of them were shocked when they heard this, but they didn't expect to meet a group of ghosts and gods here. As the head of the royal guards, the ghost envoy suddenly appeared here, and it was definitely not as simple as protecting a head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In order to avoid incidents, when the two of them were about to retreat, they suddenly heard someone next to them say:
"With this little courage, you dare to assassinate the emperor!"
"Your Majesty?" the two of them had not experienced much of the world after all, and couldn't help but exclaim at the same time.
Only this exclaimed, although the sound was not loud, but it was already noticed by Xu Cheng in the courtyard, I saw that he immediately jumped on the roof, his toes were on the tile, and he swept at the three of them. Zhong Ming Yi Hui's martial arts reaction is not the same as in the past, the two of them jumped out of the circle lightly, and the other person was not so lucky, his movements were a little slower, and he was immediately regarded as a scapegoat.
That person suddenly became the only target of Xu Bu's attack, and the person who came secretly shouted "Bad luck!" Unexpectedly, others leaked their whereabouts, and now they have to pay for it themselves. Seeing that the opponent's knife was fierce, he couldn't escape, and when he had no choice but to draw his sword to meet him, he couldn't make this knife as fast as the wind was actually opened by that person's sword.
"It turned out to be an old friend!"
Xu Bucheng learned from the skill and move characteristics of the opponent's sword, although the two sides were fighting at night, but he had already recognized that this was an acquaintance, but because the opponent was masked at night, he couldn't remember who he was for a while. The kung fu of the person who came was exquisite, and the two fought on the roof for more than 20 rounds in a row, but they couldn't tell the winner from the loser.
The person who came was slender and slender, and even Zhong Ming felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. In addition to being dressed in a night suit, he also had a black cloth mask, and he didn't open his mouth during the fight, so he couldn't remember who he was for a while. At this time, this person suddenly turned around and fled back after attacking with a "Sweeping Thousands of Army" sword moves.
Xu Bucheng knew that the two had not yet distinguished the high and low, did not know the reason why he was running, and had not decided whether to chase him or not. In the dark, I saw this person's sleeve flick, Zhong Ming immediately remembered a person, and shouted for this: "Be careful!" and immediately pointed out the "True Yang Xuan Finger" to resist the person's "cold arrow in the sleeve".
It wasn't until this time that Xu Bufang knew that something was wrong, and it was too late to dodge anymore, so he had to swing his sword to block the finger qi from the man's sleeve. Fortunately, the three finger qi of that person had been blocked by Zhong Ming's True Yang Xuan Finger, and the remaining one only heard a soft sound of "dang", which happened to be blocked by Xu Bucheng's sword.
"Ghost Lonely Ghost...... It's you!" Xu Bucheng couldn't help but exclaim.
The person was drunk out of his identity, and he couldn't help but laugh strangely, and said: "It's a shame that there are children on the side who make trouble, otherwise Lao Tzu and you will definitely be a high!"
Xu Bucheng was shocked, from the sound of the wind of the True Yang Xuanzhi and the words of the ghost and the lonely ghost, he had already guessed that Zhong Ming was blocking the other party's two cold arrows in his sleeve for him, because there are not many people in the world who can do this exercise. And shocked by Zhong Ming's sudden appearance here, he hasn't seen him for more than three years, how could he appear here?
After thinking about it, he realized the open secret of the master of the rivers and lakes who went to the official office at night, and he was confident that he was not here for the emperor, but it was not easy to reveal the identity of the other party. Once this kind of thing is leaked, it will involve a lot of aspects, and I am most afraid that the above will be investigated afterwards, so Xu Bucheng had no choice but to take out a five-tael gold ingot from his body, and deliberately shouted:
"Thank you, little hero, for your help...... Look at the darts!" With that, he gently tossed it towards Zhong Ming's speaker, and then turned around and jumped out of the room.
Although Zhong Ming didn't know Xu Cheng's hardships at this time, he knew that since he helped him out of danger, he would not harm himself again. Therefore, he took the ingots with confidence, jumped out of the house with Yi Hui for a while, and then quietly returned to the inn to rest. Early the next morning, after breakfast, the two went out into the street/exchanged the ingots for some broken silver, bought two horses, and then traveled all the way north.
Not far from the inn, when the two of them passed by a forest on the way, a man suddenly jumped out of the forest to block the way. The horses were suddenly frightened by this, and they couldn't help but raise their front hooves. Although Zhong Ming knew that the ghost was still alive last night, he was still startled when he saw him jump out again now, and couldn't help asking:
"Why aren't you dead yet?"
The ghost lonely ghost smiled when he heard this, and said:
"With the ability of 'Yunnan Shuangye', how can he be the opponent of the old man, and the old man's turtle breath / law is unmatched. No matter what kind of injury you have, as long as it doesn't hurt your heart, you can recover slowly. Didn't you see that the old man had swallowed a handful of pills before he fought with them?"
"You don't have to ask to know that those pills are for your Turtle Breath Da/Fa. ”
"You're not stupid. ”
Zhong Ming thought about it seriously, and then asked with some puzzlement:
"Why are you stopping us now?"
"Don't you kid want to follow me to learn the Turtle Breath Da/Fa? Besides, the old man is also useful to you, and today is a must-try, so I must take you back with me. ”
At this time, Yi Hui and Zhong Ming had both jumped off the horse, Zhong Ming simply threw the reins of the horse to Yi Hui, Yi Hui knew what he wanted to do, the two of them smiled, and felt that today's incident was particularly interesting. Especially Zhong Ming, who was anxious to test his martial arts progress in the past three years or so, stepped forward and asked:
"You're not going to force me to take that pill again, are you?"
After hearing this, the ghost and lonely ghost looked up at the sky and let out a strange laugh, and during the strange laugh, the cold arrow in his sleeve had been shot at Zhong Ming's chest. Zhong Ming pretended not to know, and pretended to exclaim "oops", as if he had been tricked. Yi Hui on the side knew that he was playing his opponent with his kung fu of closing the hole, so he just watched the excitement quietly on the sidelines to see how Zhong Ming's scene continued.
The ghost lonely ghost didn't expect to be able to get it so easily, and couldn't help laughing, and scolded:
"To put it bluntly, your kid is a vegetable python, I doubt that the master of quitting killing would pass on to you this stupid boy's martial arts back then, isn't this a waste of effort? Now your kid has a body of martial arts and secrets, but he doesn't know how to use it, isn't this the best gift that God has given to the old man!"
Because Yi Hui is dressed as a handsome boy, she has grown a head taller, making it difficult for people to imagine her original appearance. Therefore, the ghost and lonely ghost didn't take Yi Hui on the side in his eyes, but just took out a pill from his clothes and walked over. When he was just holding Zhong Ming's chin with one hand and preparing to feed the pill with the other, he suddenly heard a shout next to him:
"Stop!"
With the sound of a shout, a big man jumped out of the bushes, Yi Hui and Zhong Ming took a closer look, and it turned out to be Shi Yuming, Xu Bucheng's big apprentice, and his face had not changed much after not seeing him for a few years. It turns out that this Shi Yuming is now on an errand under Master Xu Bucheng, and today's task is to secretly keep an eye on the ghost and lonely ghost for the master.
He is a person who pays more attention to feelings, and he has always been obsessed with Zhong Ming's tolerance of himself three years ago, and at this time, when he saw that Zhong Ming was in danger, he couldn't care much for a while, and immediately jumped out to stop him.
"What are you doing to stop the old man's good deeds?" asked the ghost impatiently.
"Do you know who this son you are guilty of now?"
Shi Yuming knew that he was not the opponent of the other party, so he had to move out of the ancestral master to intimidate him, and he really hoped that he would be able to retreat in the face of difficulties, so he said:
"Have you heard of the famous Eagle Claw Boxing King on the rivers and lakes, he is Zhong Ming Gongzi, the grandson of the Eagle Claw Boxing King. You killed him today, can the Talon Boxer spare you when he finds out?"
"What if the old man doesn't let him know?" sneered the ghost.
"Can you still stop me from talking to the horse boy next to me?" Shi Yuming didn't know that Yi Hui was a woman disguised as a man, so he said.
"If both of you become dead now, then no matter how powerful the Eagle Claw Fist King is, how do you know that it was the old man who kidnapped his grandson!"
"I know that you old guy is the best at hurting people with secret arrows, but your wishful thinking today may not be so wishful!" Shi Yuming drew his sword and rushed towards the ghost and lonely ghost, and shouted to Yi Hui next to him: "The boy next to him quickly rode a horse and fled first, my master and his group are in the nearby town, and this place will be left to me to support for the time being." ”
The ghost lonely ghost was really shocked when he heard this, his first thought was to stop Yi Hui from escaping on horseback, when he dodged a sword stabbed by Shi Yuming, he immediately jumped in front of Yi Hui's horse, what surprised him was that Yi Hui was as stunned as a wooden chicken at this time, and he didn't move at all. He mistakenly thought that Yi Hui had already been frightened at this time, so he didn't have to worry, so he turned around and raised his sword to block the sword that Shi Yuming had rushed over.
After all, the difference between the two martial arts was too far, and after more than ten moves, Shi Yuming was kicked to the ground by the ghost lonely ghost, and when the ghost lonely ghost was holding a sword and wanted to stab him, Zhong Ming next to him suddenly shouted and stopped:
"You can't kill him, if you kill him, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself now!"
"Haha, it is said that there are people in the world who can 'stick a knife in the ribs of a friend', the old man has always refused to believe it, but he didn't expect the old man to have a lot of insight here. I see that although you kid is not very old, he is quite particular about his friends!"
The ghost lonely ghost was afraid of Zhong Ming's request to be coerced with death, so he had to give up his intention to kill Shi Yuming for the time being, so he had to use the cold arrow in his sleeve to point Shi Yuming's acupoint, making him temporarily unable to move. Shi Yuming saw that he had fallen into this situation, looked at Yi Hui who was casual on the side, and could only complain to her loudly:
"You boy looks like a beautiful man with clear eyebrows and handsome eyes, but what can you do but you are so confused? Just now I told you to run and you don't run, that is the only chance for us to live, as long as the news is delivered, I guarantee that this old guy will not dare to do anything to us! But now that everyone is in the hands of this old guy, I am afraid that you will not be able to run anymore. Everyone is finished together, and it can be regarded as my repayment of Zhong Minggongzi's brotherly love in this life. ”
Zhong Ming was very moved when he heard this, a few years have passed, but he didn't expect the other party to still remember his friendship with him back then. But in order to tease the needs of the ghost and the lonely ghost to his heart's content, he could only stand there motionless, and just asked Shi Yuming:
"Brother Shi, we haven't seen each other for many years, how can you still recognize me?"
"Ahem...... When is it, Brother Xian still has the heart to ask this! That's all after Master knows your whereabouts, Brother Fool will know, if the two of us meet each other by chance on the road, Brother Fool really won't dare to recognize you...... I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've grown a head taller than before, and you're almost a big guy. ”
The ghost was amused as he heard the two of them still reminisce about their deaths. I saw him come to Zhong Ming with a smile, took out the pill again, held Zhong Ming's chin with one hand, and just wanted to pinch the other party's mouth with the other hand, when he suddenly felt that the three big points on his chest were sealed at the same time, and his body couldn't move at once, and even the hand holding the pill couldn't move at all.
What surprised Zhong Ming even more than getting up and being restrained was Zhong Ming's current skills, he obviously couldn't move after watching him get hit, how could he suddenly take action to counter himself? For a while, he could only open his mouth wide, staring at the other party with wide eyes, and didn't know how to deal with it.
Seeing the old man like this, Zhong Ming couldn't help laughing happily, and after surrounding him excitedly admiring him, he suddenly remembered the friend next to him. hurriedly went over to untie the sealed acupoint for Shi Yuming, and then bowed to Shi Yuming and apologized, and explained:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the little brother is deliberately playing with this old man, if it ends halfway, it will be a pity. I didn't expect it to affect the eldest brother. You fought with him just now, as long as this old guy endangers your life, the little brother is sure to rescue you. It's just that this has made the eldest brother frightened in vain. ”
Seeing this, Shi Yuming was stunned as if he was in a dream, and he couldn't speak for a while. There was a ghost and a lonely ghost staying there at the scene, Zhong Ming didn't care about talking to him at this time, and immediately turned to the ghost and lonely ghost, and after reaching out and hitting him a few big mouths, he said:
"Your old boy also has today!" and then asked Yi Hui, "The last time my sister asked me to spare him in the face of my housekeeper, I was caught by him afterwards and forced to take a pill, this time since he was planted in my hands again, looking at the face of the big housekeeper of Wolong Villa, although I was embarrassed to beat him again, but I let him go like this, I was really a little unwilling." ”
Yi Hui smiled at this "hehe" and said:
"What's so hard about this, I have a way to deal with such a person, and I promise to make this old fellow feel good for a long time. ”
"What method can be so effective?" Zhong Ming couldn't help but ask seriously.
