Chapter 10: Brothers Differ [1]
After bidding farewell to the Xiahou sisters again, Zhong Ming hurriedly ran to the south road, lest he lose contact with the strange boss and Yi Hui. Due to the fact that there were several forks in the road ahead, Zhong Ming didn't know if the two people in front of him had taken the fork in the road, or if he was chasing in the wrong direction, Zhong Ming still didn't find any trace of the strange boss and Yi Hui after chasing seven or eight miles to the south.
He suddenly lost contact with his companion at this time, and could not help but be very anxious, thinking that he had three or four forks in the road along the way, and that the two of them might go to the side road, so he turned back and searched again. After going back and forth for a while, but never seeing any trace of the two, Zhong Ming was anxious, and couldn't help but show the "fleeting" light skill that the old man had recently passed on to him.
When this skill was first performed, Zhong Ming only felt that the villages and figures around him were constantly shaking in front of him, and before he knew it, he had run out for a hundred and ten miles. After tossing and turning blindly until it was almost dark, Zhong Ming still didn't find any trace of the two, but instead fell into a mountain with no village in front and no store behind. He stood on a high place and looked around, but fortunately there was a building not far from the side of the road. When I got closer, I realized that it was a temple.
Zhong Ming had no choice but to decide to stay overnight in the monastery first, and then inquire about the whereabouts of the two early the next morning. When approaching the gate of the temple, only to know that this is a small temple, when Zhong Ming walked into the temple door and knocked on the door, he saw a young monk of the same age as himself coming out from inside, the monk did not know what Zhong Ming wanted to do, only stunned.
Zhong Ming hurriedly clasped his fists at this time and saluted:
"I got lost on the way down, so I missed the village inn, and now I am in this place where I don't rely on the village and the back of the store. Please make it convenient for the little master, stay here for one night, and leave early tomorrow morning. As for the silver taels required for accommodation, according to the usual inn accommodation fees, the little master will definitely not suffer a loss. ”
"Amitabha," the little monk recited the Buddha's name, bowed down with one hand on his chest and bowed:
"Why does the donor say this, this is a common thing to go out, who can still go out and walk with the house on his head? The donor can rest in the side hall wing, if you don't eat, fortunately we have some leftovers here to supply, as long as the donor does not dislike it, I can bring it to you." ”
Zhong Ming was full of anxiety at this time, but he couldn't feel hungry, and when he thought of that other person's leftovers, he was even more unappetizing, so he thanked:
"Thank you, little master, for your kindness, I have already had dinner on the way, as long as I can stay here for one night. ”
When the little monk heard this, he led Zhong Ming to a room, although the room was small, but the room was clean, and the bed seemed to be occupied. At this time, Fang listened to the little monk explain:
"This was my room, a little shabby, but clean. If the donor doesn't dislike it, he might as well rest here, and I'll go to the uncle next door tonight to squeeze it. ”
"That's too troublesome, little master. ”
Zhong Ming was very grateful for this, and thought to himself that he would leave two taels of silver for the little monk early tomorrow morning as accommodation expenses, and after having this idea, he stayed calmly. The wilderness temple was very silent, only the gust of wind outside the window shook the leaves and rattled, although there was no news of the strange boss and Yi Hui that day, but it was also very tired, Zhong Ming soon fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden violent knock on the temple door outside, waking up the bell. Then I heard the footsteps of the little monk I knew in the evening running quickly to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, five people immediately rushed in, and brutally pushed the person who opened the door to the side. At the same time, one of the people was heard shouting:
"Hurry up and make room for grandpa to rest, it's too late, be careful that Lao Tzu will burn your bald donkey's nest with a fire." ”
I only listened to the voice of the little monk in the evening and replied:
"Why did the donor speak like this, and the night on the way was originally to ask for help from others, but I didn't expect you to insult the temple with evil words, and you were so fierce and unkind. Although we are monks, we are not unconscious wood, so how can we invite you to such humiliation for no reason?"
Then there was an "ouch" cry of pain, and someone was heard falling to the ground, while someone shouted loudly:
"Lao Tzu takes the four seas as his home, and he has always done whatever he wants, relying on the skills in his hands!
Then another young man's voice shouted at the gate of the courtyard:
"Hei Laosi, why the fuck are you kicking him?" Zhong Ming heard this and mistakenly thought that this person was not the same as his own gang, and before he finished praising it in his heart, he heard this person continue to shout: "Just kill him with a knife, so that he can call chaos here." ”
I didn't expect this person to be even more hateful than his companions. Hearing this, Zhong Ming hurriedly broke out of the house, and with the help of the lights in the main hall of the courtyard, Zhong Ming saw a big man with a black face, who was drawing a knife and slashing at the little monk on the ground. Zhong Ming was in a hurry, stretched out his finger to point at the man's single knife, and when his finger touched the single knife, he made a "dang" sound, forcing the man to be unable to hold it for a while, and the single knife fell to the ground.
The young man who came seemed to be about the same age as Zhong Ming, but he seemed to be the leader of the group, and in the darkness he didn't understand what kind of hidden weapon Zhong Ming used to kill his accomplice's single knife. With a wave of his right hand, he swarmed around with the four of them. When Zhong Ming saw the young man opposite, he felt very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Just as he was about to ask for an explanation, he didn't expect the other party to be very fierce and decisive, and the three of them swung their fists and two of them held swords and hit Zhong Ming's predecessor at the same time. Among the five people, two long swords first stabbed Zhong Ming in the chest, and what was surprising was that the sword bodies of the two long swords were immediately bowed like half a moon, and the three who swung their fists first hit Zhong Ming, but they did not expect to be shocked back by the internal force in Zhong Ming's body.
At the same time, the five of them each complained bitterly, as if they had been enchanted, and when their internal forces collapsed, half of their bodies suddenly did not obey the call. This is Zhong Ming's body to verify that he is not afraid of swords, and when he was about to point to the other party's leading young man, he suddenly realized that the reason why he was stunned was because this young man was almost like a person with himself. For this reason he stopped and shouted:
"What are you doing, why can't you get along with the little master in front of you?"
The young man in charge also seemed to see that the person in front of him looked strikingly similar to himself, and he didn't understand that he didn't care about the attack he was being attacked now, but instead went to inquire about the matter between him and the little monk.
For this reason, I saw that his eyes rolled, and his fingers suddenly shouted behind Zhong Ming:
"Just ask him. ”
Zhong Ming is a newcomer after all, with a simple mind, although he has suffered losses for this method, he still can't help but turn his head to look. When he found that there was nothing behind him, he suddenly remembered that he had used this to trick the boss, but the other party ignored him. Thinking of this, Fang Zhi jumped to the side to dodge, but he didn't expect that he had been kicked hard in the lower abdomen.
The lower abdomen is where the human body's dantian is located, where the true qi gathers, and the internal force reflex is the most rapid and direct. The opponent's sneak attack is like kicking a stone. I only heard his "ouch" and suddenly sat on the ground with his feet in his hands, and because of his kick so hard, the stronger the other party rebounded, the toes seemed to be nearly fractured, and the pain was so painful that beads of sweat like soybeans rolled down on his forehead, and he struggled several times, and he was unable to stand up for a while.
Despite this, Zhong Ming still didn't want to do much, and just stepped forward to help the young man on the ground to ask for an explanation, but he didn't expect the young man to take the opportunity to grab his hands and hold on, and at the same time shouted to his companions:
"If you don't take the opportunity to clean up this kid for me now, how long will you wait!"
The four of the young man's men were stunned when they heard this, and then they rushed up like a swarm, and there was a burst of punches and kicks around Zhong Ming. Although their gains outweighed their losses, like beating a stone man in a group, they were mostly shocked back by the opponent's internal force, and they ended up with injuries and pain in their fists and feet, but the fist that accidentally hit Zhong Ming's face also beat Zhong Ming to the point that he was full of gold stars and complained bitterly.
Zhong Ming wanted to shake hands with someone and say goodbye, but now he was beaten for a while for no reason, and he couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, and then screamed, and suddenly broke free of the young man's hands. When he saw that at this time, there were already two people who had given up the fist and stabbed the long sword with a sword, the index fingers of both hands were pointed out at the same time, and with the sound of "snort", the shoulders of the two sword bearers were each pierced by a blood hole by the true qi, and the long sword suddenly fell to the ground, each covering the wound and screaming in pain.
In this way, everyone saw clearly that there was no hidden weapon in the other party's hand, and it was all the invisible finger qi emitted from the fingers. After Zhong Ming was beaten by the crowd, he was extremely angry in his heart, and although he saw that the other party was defeated and retreated, he still refused to let them go, and pointed his finger at their leader.
"'True Yang Xuanzhi'...... At this moment, the young man who fell to the ground saw Zhong Ming's finger aimed at him, and couldn't help but exclaim first, and immediately asked Zhong Ming: "True Yang Xuanzhi has a deep relationship with my family, since you know this set of exercises, I don't know who you are from Wolong Villa?"
Zhong Ming didn't expect that the other party would be able to call out the origin of his martial arts and the address of his family at a young age, and when he was shocked, he thought that he had met his grandfather's enemies again, so he replied with his chest:
"It doesn't hurt to say it to you, I won't change my name, I won't change my surname, I am Zhong Ming, the former young owner of Wolong Villa. Seeing that you guys are very angry, how do you know that I am from Wolong Villa?"
The young man endured the pain and smiled "hehe", then reluctantly got up from the ground and said:
"I'm ashamed to say that I am your long-lost brother, who has followed Master's surname since he was a child, and his name is Sha Xingying. In addition, I have a jade pendant on my wrist with two seal characters engraved on it, and according to Master, my breast name should be called: Qing'er. I heard Master say, this is the only evidence of my background, I don't know, do you know?"
"The rivers and lakes are mixed, and liars are everywhere, you won't lie to me again like you told me to watch behind you, right?"
"Since you know the existence of this identification token, how can you speculate and deny the facts! You and I were originally brothers, born of the same mother, although we have not been together since childhood, but since ancient times, we have been in order since ancient times, and now you see that your brother is not only rude, but also hurt me, what do you say?"
"Brother Qing'er has been plundered for many years, and life or death is still a mystery, you kid dares to pretend to be my brother, just with this article, I can't let you go casually today. Who the hell are you, you dare to come and pretend to be my brother, I can't tell if I don't know, don't blame me for adding a few blood holes to your body under my true yang finger!"
"Don't don't," the young man on the other side seemed to be very afraid of the opponent's invisible archery, and when he stretched out his hand, there was no trace of it that was impossible to guard against. Therefore, I couldn't help but wave my hand again and again:
"Since you are so suspicious, please listen to what I have to say before you start it. I thought that the original sneak attack on Wolong Villa was my current master Sha Xiong and Xing Tian couple, and afterwards I heard the master say: They and their father originally had an unsolvable hatred, and they wanted to burn and kill Wolong Villa, but after entering the villa, they knew that the masters in the village were like clouds, and they were all rare masters in the martial arts. ”
"What does this have to do with you and me?" Zhong Ming asked, suspecting that the other party was deliberately lying to delay time.
"Only by clarifying the truth of the matter can we explain everything...... After the master swept me back, he originally wanted to blackmail Wolong Villa, but knowing that there were many people in Wolong Villa who were higher than my father's martial arts, I had to give up this idea, and instead raised me as my own son, and planned to ask me to go to Wolong Villa to challenge when I grew up, so that I could die under my father's sword. ”
"I didn't expect your master to be so vicious!"
"That's his own business, it's none of my business. The other party continued to explain: "From then on, I lived in the Northwest Desert with Master and his wife, and learned martial arts from Master and his wife, so that I could go to Wolong Villa to seek revenge on their behalf in the future. It was a perfect revenge plan for them, but the recent battle in Wolong Villa has completely changed their plans. ”
"Will they also abandon evil and turn from good?"
"That's not necessarily ......" The other party was very disgusted by Zhong Ming's constant interruption of his explanation, so he had to continue to explain:
"After the two masters suddenly learned that I was the grandson of the former Eagle Claw Demon King Xiang Batian, they completely changed their minds. The reason for this is that the master has always respected the Eagle Claw Boxing King as his predecessor's confidant, so he had to give up his position as an enemy of his father, and confided in me my true identity, and deliberately changed his name: Xiang Xingying. Tell me to go home and find my father and return to my father. I didn't expect to run into you here. ”
"You're not going to make up a story to relieve my boredom, are you?"
Zhong Ming had been deceived by him several times before, and he was still not at ease at this time. Moreover, when they met by chance on the way, they were not familiar with each other and it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and Zhong Ming's demeanor was inevitably a little hesitant. The young man was very well-behaved, and at a glance, he knew what the other party was thinking, and immediately took off a jade pendant from his left wrist and handed it to Zhong Mingdao:
"Do you recognize this?"
