Chapter 4: The Talon Demon King (1)
When the person who came stood in the field, he also showed people with his back, and when he turned around slowly, Ouyang Tianxiu saw clearly that the person who came was a thin old man in his seventies. This person was dressed in gray cloth, his gray hair was unbraided, and he was allowed to float behind his head, his face was pale, and he seemed to be smiling, and his expression was unpredictable.
In addition, looking at his eyes again, the cold air in his eyes was terrifying, revealing a cold murderous aura, and the sound of his mouth was like the collision of gold and iron, lifeless, piercing the eardrums, and people would never want to hear it a second time after hearing it. There was a long howl, which had already made Zhuang Ding, who was generally a little weaker in the internal force around him, dizzy, and immediately fell down several people.
"Sure enough!"
The old man nodded in appreciation, and seemed to have a very complicated expression of emotion for the dead man on the ground, and his expression seemed to be a little excited, and after he walked over and leaned over to take a look at the woodcutter's injuries on the ground, the sadness on his face only flashed. Turning around and looking Ouyang Tianxiu up and down for a moment, he frowned, and said in a gloomy manner:
"This 'shadow-following' technique has been extinct in the rivers and lakes for thirty-five years, but I didn't expect the old man to see it again here...... It's a pity that my five-grade guards with knives have not arrived for a day, and they were forced to die here by you...... Boy, before you commit suicide and apologize, quickly summon that Ouyang Zhizhi's old bald donkey, with your little effort, it's just an ordinary thug, it's better than how to kill people, it's really not worth the old man's hands!"
"Who are the seniors, and how do you say that...... Why commit suicide if you are living a good life now...... As for the bald ...... Bald...... What, and who?"
Ouyang Tianxiu stammered with a confused expression. Today, he was forced to show his family heirloom stunt, and now he was broken by someone, and he was even more shocked and puzzled. I just felt that the person in front of me seemed familiar, but I just couldn't remember where I had seen him. At this time, the feeling of ignorance shown by his question was obviously not intentionally pretended.
Unexpectedly, the old man ignored this set at all, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if he was enduring the great humiliation of the other party. While trying his best to control his anger, he gritted his teeth and scolded the other party hatefully:
"With your little bit of Taoism, I also want to use it to deceive the old man...... You're such a self-conscious kid. Such a simple truth, anyone can see and understand, the people in the world who can force and kill my disciples and avoid the old man's attack, in addition to your master and apprentice, do you want the old man to go to the Shaolin Temple in Henan to find the bald donkey abbot to beg for his life!"
"It seems that the old-timers have misunderstood, the disciple obviously died under his short sword, and there are many friends here who can testify in person, how can you say that the younger generation forced him to kill him? Besides, most of my martial arts come from family traditions, so where is the bald ...... The martial arts in the world are complicated, and there are many similarities, and it seems too hasty for the old-timers to identify him as a disciple of the Ru Qiu family based on just one move and one style, right?"
Unexpectedly, these few sentences not only failed to achieve the effect of explanation, but actually made the other party angry and said:
"What do you kid know, although there are many people in the world who are knowledgeable in martial arts, there are many people who deceive the world and steal their reputations, but only your master's martial arts can compete with the old man. It's just that this bald donkey has never been publicized, and he has always acted pedantic and ridiculous, giving in everywhere, and he has never liked to show his true face, so it is easy to cause others to look down on him!"
Looking at the other party's stunned expression, the old man couldn't help but continue to explain and sarcastically:
"Pity your kid who guards a generation of grandmasters, but he doesn't practice martial arts with any mastery, and he wastes all these years of time in vain! ”
"You actually know the name and origin of this exercise?" Ouyang Tianxiu was shocked.
"The old man not only knows the origin of this exercise, but also knows the mystery of it! Quitting killing Lao Er forced the old man to lose his prestige 35 years ago, lose face, and had to give up the title of 'No. 1 martial arts in the world' given by Emperor Kangxi. Today, although the martial arts attainments you have learned are shallow, there are Shaolin fists mixed in the shots, and there seems to be some of the martial arts roots of the Eagle Claw Gate, but in terms of internal force sending and receiving, it is the same as that old man. ”
"My martial arts background is detailed, how can you know so clearly?" Ouyang Tianxiu asked still confused.
"What's so strange about this, after calling out that old bald donkey, everything will be solved?" the other party obviously did not want to explain more to him, but continued:
"To make a long story short, the old man has always disdained to do things with junior boys, and he never leaves a living mouth when he does. It's an exception...... The old man is nothing more than to confirm the number of martial artists of your kid. I advise you to invite your master out as soon as possible, and see the old man again. What 'Wolong Villa' is not 'Crouching Tiger Villa', as long as the old man is annoyed, if there is a panting person left on your villa, the old man will no longer have the word 'Xiang'!"
"Are you the 'Eagle Claw Demon King'...... Xiang Batian?" Someone at the scene suddenly asked in surprise.
"And you and the boy have seen it...... If it weren't for the old man's arrival, who else in the world would dare to say such a thing in front of this bald donkey villa!" the old man replied with his chest held up very proudly, and then slowly turned his head to look around at everyone.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a colorful cannon suddenly ignited in the crowd of spectators at the gate of the villa, and after the cannon sounded, hundreds of martial arts people with knives and guns suddenly emerged from the rocks and trees around the villa. After a while, the "Eagle Claw Demon King" was surrounded in it, and they all gritted their teeth, each with a desperate posture that did not share the sky.
The leader of this group of people is actually the chief monk of the Shaolin Dharma Academy, Master Jiankong, I saw him holding a Zen staff to lead everyone, and he was fighting at any time. At this time, although their gang was bullying the widows with the crowd, they were still concentrating and on guard, keeping their eyes on every move of Xiang Tiantian in the field. At the same time, shouts from the crowd continued to rise, and people kept shouting:
"There is a wrong, there is a debtor, and blood debts must be repaid with blood. Don't let this old devil run away!"
The old man in gray was stunned in the face of such a formation, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, the laughter was extremely ugly, piercing the eardrums, and terrifying. This smile, which was similar to the "roar of a lion", shocked as many as forty or fifty people in the surrounding crowd with weak internal strength. Those who fell to the ground were all unconscious and fainted.
No wonder this old man ignored the existence of everyone around him, it turned out that he could kill people with laughter. After glancing at the crowd, he was heard sneering at the crowd around him:
"You want to kill people with such skills, aren't you a little nervous?"
However, things were not as simple as he expected, perhaps they both had a common hatred, causing the anger of the surrounding crowd to outweigh the fear, and the people who were knocked down in the crowd were immediately carried to the back in time by the people behind them. Everyone really went forward one after another, and immediately a group of people waving knives and guns rushed up to fill the vacancy.
Seeing this, the old man couldn't help frowning, and then he sneered, and everyone saw the figure in front of them flickering, and almost all the swords and guns in the hands of the avenger standing in front of the team told him to take them away, only the Zen staff in the hand of Master Jiankong was still there. I saw him throw the weapon in his arms to the side, and then sneered at everyone:
"With all these rotten copper and scrap iron in your hands, you also want to show off in front of the old man?
The old man ignored everyone at the scene, and the laughter suddenly stopped at this time, and when everyone thought that he was going to kill, they saw that he had slapped the head of the stone lion on the side of the village gate with a palm of his right hand and fell to the ground. Then he grabbed the head of the stone lion on the ground with his left hand, only to see that the head of the stone lion on the ground actually bounced back and jumped under his hand like a ball after being slapped by force.
I saw that the old man's right palm took advantage of the situation to slap it, and for a while, the stone powder was flying, and he didn't make any sound. When the stone lion's head landed again, everyone saw that there was an extra palm print on it, and the five fingers were deeply sunken, as if ordinary people were pressing on the soft mud. The old man in gray patted the stone powder on his hands, looked at the sky for a while, and did not say a word.
The characters who were prepared to deal with the "Eagle Claw Demon King" in advance were naturally not ordinary people, and most of the people on the scene were experts and masters, and they understood the mysteries. After everyone watched this miraculous skill, they were all dumbfounded, and they could see that the old devil's martial arts were much more powerful than the legend. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that a flesh and blood body could practice to such a level.
It is no wonder that this person used to be rampant in the rivers and lakes, arrogant and domineering at every turn, killing people like hemp all his life, and he was about to slaughter the whole mountain villa here with just one mouth. Seeing that his martial arts are so powerful, everyone suddenly lost confidence, today everyone doesn't say that they want to capture and kill this person, everyone on the scene is asking for their whole body to retreat, and it is not easy to talk about!
Among the people, only Ouyang Tianxiu was particularly surprised, everyone only applauded the old man's magic skills, but they didn't know how mysterious the power of the old man's left hand was to rebound, and it was precisely the nemesis of his master's "shadow-like" mental method. As early as when he was a teenager, Ouyang Tianxiu listened to his master explain in detail about this martial arts:
"But all the striking skills, between the gestures and the gestures are all produced by the wind and pneumatic images, when responding to the enemy, you have no distractions in your heart, inside and outside the one, self-sacrifice from others, by the wind of his body movement and control my floating body. The reason is that if the ship makes sails, like an eagle soaring in the sky, and responds to the enemy's movements with its own immobility, it can rotate freely and be invincible. ”
In his early years, he was obsessed with the study of martial arts, read a wide range of books, and learned from the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. The source of this exercise is taught in the Confucian method of fasting in the Zhuangzi and the World, which reads:
"If a will, listen to it with its heart without listening to it, listen to it with your heart without listening to it, listen to it with your ears, listen to it with your heart, and listen to it with your heart. ”
The text says that when Confucius taught Yan Hui Confucianism, he once taught him that if you practice the art of heart fasting, you must get rid of distracting thoughts, concentrate on your mind, and use your heart to experience without hearing, and use your qi to sense without using your heart to experience.
When Venerable Master received this inspiration and created this move, he also used the sentence "The master steps step by step, and the master tends to follow the form" in "Zhuangzi Tianzi Fang", which is similar to following the shadow, so he deliberately named this exercise move: "Like a shadow follows the form". In addition to highlighting the essence of martial arts, it also has the meaning of fighting and banning opponents.
In the face of the old man's palms, he can shoot several palms with different strengths, and this palm power can just restrain the basic method of the master's body to float with his strength. Seeing that this old man's internal strength is profound, his martial arts are unfathomable, and he is now eyeing him with a murderous face, if he wants to avoid a war, he is definitely not a person who can be persuaded by his tongue.
Ouyang Tianxiu looked at the desperate posture of the various sects around him, and could see that they seemed to be eager to try on the surface, but in fact, they were strong on the outside, and they were just difficult to ride a tiger at the moment. Knowing that a tragic battle was about to happen, Ouyang Tianxiu was a loyal person after all, and as the owner of the villa, he felt sorry for not being able to protect his friends and guests.
Besides, Ouyang Tianxiu has always had a reputation for being a friend in the rivers and lakes, and he puts righteousness in everything first, but now that the catastrophe is coming, how can he let everyone die in front of his eyes. Weighing the pros and cons, at this time suddenly inspired him to take the lead in fighting to the death. With this thought as a support, he couldn't help but take a step forward, and he was full of pride, and openly challenged the old man in gray:
"Although the predecessors have martial arts to the world, but the killing is so great that it violates the way of heaven and people, and today you want to be satisfied in the battle of the heroes, I am afraid it is not an easy problem. Helplessly, my father is too old to come out and obey my fate, and now only the younger generation can ask you for a few tricks on behalf of my father. ”
"Okay, good—you kid wants to die quickly, and the old man has to let you get superborn first, and besides, my futile is impatient to wait for you in front of you. Today, if you don't let you and other boys die in a convincing mouth, and at the same time die in horror, the surrounding group of wine bags and rice bags can testify to each other, and without you waiting for the boy to do anything, the old man will die in front of you!"
The Eagle Claw Demon King is extremely arrogant, and has long regarded his opponent as a dead person, and his aura is as plain as a businessman's plan to make money. After all, he had other plans in his heart at this time, and he refused to let the other party die so simply, and hoped that he could find out something from the other party's mouth, so he deliberately whispered to the opponent:
"Boy, if you have any last words, it's still too late to say them, and what regrets will be left after the death of the province!"
