Chapter 12 Participating in the competition, Liu Chang is still shaking his fan, taking square steps, looking east and west at the gate of Guo's house. Guo Sanding stood to the side with his hands down, not squeaking. A "head of the family" led Liu Chang's eyes to the door, only to see a person hurriedly running out of the door, followed by Guo Sheng.

The man was in his fifties, burly, with bright eyes, wearing a dark yellow robe, a long strand of hair under his chin, and a look of excitement. When Guo Sanding saw this person, he hurriedly stepped forward and gave a deep salute, calling him "the head of the family". It seems that this person is Mr. Guo's eldest brother, Guo Shoujin, the head of the Guo family.

"Second brother, where is my second brother?" Guo Shoujin shouted as soon as he walked out of the door. Guo Sheng hurriedly walked up, pointed at Liu Chang and said, "Family master, it's this son looking for you!" Guo Shoujin noticed that there was still a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy standing at the door. was stunned for a moment, and reacted, if the second brother came back, how could he not enter the house directly, but let someone send the waist card over. Since the disappearance of his second brother five years ago, Guo Shoujin has been sending people to investigate, but there has been no news. Now that he suddenly found the waist card of the second brother, how could he not be excited, but he was a little disappointed to find that it was a young man.

Guo Shoujin took out the waist card, looked at Liu Chang and asked, "Young man, you sent this card?"

Liu Chang put away the folding fan, stepped forward and walked in front of Guo Shoujin, arched his hands and saluted, "Little nephew, visit my uncle!" I studied with Mr. Guo, and I was considered a disciple of Mr. Guo, and it was not wrong to call Mr. Guo's eldest brother Uncle Shibo.

Guo Shoujin grabbed Liu Chang's hand and asked excitedly, "What do you call me?

Liu Chang gently broke free of Guo Shoujin's palm and replied: "The little nephew studied under Mr. Guo, he is a disciple of Mr. Guo Shouyin, and it was Mr. Guo who asked the little nephew to come to Guo's house. ”

Guo Shoujin was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that this young man has a lot of strength, just now he only had more than 100 catties of strength, and the young man was able to break free easily, and at the same time felt a little rude, and hurriedly said: "Speak quickly in the inner hall, this is not the place to speak." As he spoke, he led Liu Chang to the study in the courtyard, followed by Guo Sanding.

When he arrived at the study, Liu Chang told the village chief how he saved Mr. Guo, how Mr. Guo stayed in Liujia Village to teach silently, how the whole village was looted by bandits, and how Mr. Guo protected himself, and arranged for himself to come to Guo's house to explain to Guo Shoujin in detail, but to hide the things he had taken revenge, after all, a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old killed more than 300 bandits It is too shocking. Hearing that his younger brother had passed away, Guo Shoujin burst into tears, beating his chest and feet, in pain, and only put away his crying halfway.

"Since I am a student of the second child, that is, a member of my Guo family, I will treat it as my own family when I come here! By the way, does my second brother have anything else besides this waist card?" Guo Shoujin wiped his tears and said gently.

"There is also a "Guo Family Knife" knife book. As he spoke, Liu Chang took the knife out of his arms. Of course, the knife is in the storage bag, but the storage bag is also in the arms, first get it from the storage bag to the arms, and then take it out of the arms.

Holding the knife spectrum, seeing things and thinking about people, Guo Shou Jingang's tears flowed out again, Liu Chang felt in his eyes that the head of the Guo family was a lover, and his brotherly feelings were very deep.

Guo Shoujin wiped his tears with his sleeve, looked up at Liu Chang, and was stunned, he was crying like this, how could this disciple have no tears in his eyes, and his expression was not sad, could it be fake? Is it a liar, or is he just with the bandits, using this token to break into Guo's house? Doubts suddenly rose.

This can be wronged Liu Chang, since the cultivation of the Immortal Dao to take revenge, Liu Chang found that he did not express much joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and his mood was very peaceful. Seeing Guo Shoujin's expression, Liu Chang understood that Guo Shoujin had a misunderstanding, and he had to eliminate this misunderstanding if he wanted to stay in Guo's house.

Liu Chang stood up, hugged his fists and said, "In addition to telling me to read and write, Mr. also taught me the knife technique of "Guo Family Knife". ”

"Oh, then how long have you been practicing?, how many styles have you practiced?" If you know Guo Jiadao and practice it well, then there will be no mistake, after all, "Guo Jiadao" is too difficult to teach yourself without a master, and it took me more than 40 years to practice to reach the twelfth style.

"The little nephew followed Mr. and practiced for more than four years, and he has already practiced the tenth style. Liu Chang didn't dare to say that he had only practiced knife techniques for more than two and a half years, because he had just said that Mr. Guo had passed away two and a half years ago, and said that he called himself a knife technique, which was obviously contradictory, so if he said it for a while, Guo Shoujin could not verify it; So talk less and deal with the past. As everyone knows, this is already a demonic existence for the Guo family.

"More than four years?10th style?" Guo Shoujin suddenly got up from his chair, and even the teacup on the table fell to the ground, falling and shattering. "Show me a few tricks!"

Liu Chang looked around the study, "Here?" Guo Shoujin slapped his head, came to his senses, patronized and excited, and forgot that he was still in the study, not suitable for dancing guns and knives, and hurriedly dragged Liu Chang straight to the martial arts hall. Liu Chang did not break free, and let Guo Shoujin pull him.

After a while, the Guo family spread, saying that someone saw that the head of the family was very affectionate with a young man of fourteen or fifteen, holding hands, like a father and son, but he was not a young master. Could it be that the main stream of the family has fallen behind, and now they have come back to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors? Or is it ...... For a while, there were different opinions.

When he arrived at the martial arts hall, Liu Chang didn't say a word, chose a steel knife from the weapon rack, and stood in the center of the martial arts hall to practice.

From the first type of "horizontal knife immediately", the second type of "drawing the knife and cutting off the water" to the tenth type of "picking the knife to see the sun", the feet are fast through the clouds, and I see that the two hundred zhang martial arts hall is all Liu Chang's figure, the knife light is flashing, fast like lightning, and I can't tell which move is which, only to see a move that is fast like a move, and a series of moves. After a while, after the Guo Jiadao Ten Styles were performed, I saw that the young man in the hall was calm and relaxed, his face was not red and he was not panting.

Looking at the head of the Guo family for a while, Guo Shoujin was already dumbfounded. Is this still my Guo family's Guo family knife technique? Guo family knife can still dance with such an effect, and can it still be performed like a cloud and water like this? Liu Chang can perform these ten styles more smoothly than himself, without any sense of astringency, it is like practicing for decades! Genius! Genius! No! Just now I said that the second brother died two and a half years ago, and this kid said that he has only been learning the knife technique for four years, that is to say, the second brother has only taught it for a year and a half, and it would be good to be able to reach the three and five styles at most in a year and a half, and the rest are all self-taught? Demon! What a demon!

Guo Shoujin's eyes glowed with gold, and he applauded loudly: "Hahaha, good! Great! The nephew is really a martial arts wizard!" At this time, there is no longer any doubt that it is impossible for the bandits to send such a once-in-a-century genius over as a spy, since he is not a spy, then he is a nephew.

Guo Shoujin looked at Liu Chang, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, if this son is allowed to represent the Guo family to participate in the Guo, Liu, and Zhao Family Challenge, wouldn't it be nine out of ten? Among the young juniors now, none of them can practice the Guo family knife to the tenth style, at most they are disciples who have practiced to the sixth style, and those who have practiced to the seventh and eighth styles have died in the last dart, and there is no successor. Thinking of this, Guo Shoujin twisted his long beard in his hands, and the more he looked at Liu Chang, the more satisfied he became.

"Senior nephew, since you have come to Uncle Shi's place, just treat it as your own home, you're welcome, tell Uncle Shi what you need, Uncle Shi will let people prepare, and from now on I will live in Uncle Shi's house!" Guo Shoujin took Liu Chang's hand and said cordially.

"It's better to be respectful, so I will disturb the uncle. ”

"Come on, prepare a room for the young master!" As soon as Guo Shoujin appeared in the martial arts hall, he instructed the maidservant, and said to Liu Chang, "Senior nephew, senior uncle still has something to deal with, and I will pick you up at night!"

"Uncle Shi, you go and get busy first, I'll just go by myself. Liu Chang said busily. "Then how can it be done, let Sanding take you there, by the way, go around the county, and buy whatever you need." Sanding first went to the account office to pay one hundred taels of silver, took Young Master Liu for a walk, and then I told the account room when I turned around. Guo Shoujin turned his head and saw that Guo Sanding was still standing at the door of the martial arts hall, so he ordered Sanding, and then turned around and left.

Guo Sanding was taken aback, he felt that this young man's identity was different, and he didn't want to be so valued by the head of the family, so he opened his mouth for a hundred taels of silver, and he still withdrew it first!

Besides, Guo Shoujin hurried back to the conference hall, the four elders were still there, and when they saw Guo Shoujin smiling, they didn't know why. So Guo Shoujin took out the waist card, and said the cause and effect, the four elders all felt incredible, as if pie fell from the sky, all problems were solved with the arrival of a kid, and Guo Shoujin said that the Guo family knife was practiced to the tenth layer, and he still had some doubts, and felt that Guo Shoujin exaggerated in order to keep the position of the head of the family. But in any case, the difficulties of the Guo family have passed, and everything else is easy to say, and ensuring interests is the most important. Seeing that nothing happened, the four elders took their leave.

Guo Shoujin squinted his eyes, watched the four of them leave, pondered for a while, got up and left the chamber, not knowing what he was thinking or what his plans were.

At this time, the Guo family knew that there was a new young master, but it was not surnamed Guo, but surnamed Liu, who was very valued by the head of the family, personally arranged the residence, and let Sanding serve him, and received a hundred taels of silver when he first came. As for why the surname is Liu, there are many versions, some say that it is the son of the life-saving benefactor outside the head of the family, and he wants to repay the favor; some say that he was sent by the big faction to inspect the Guo family and plan to merge the Guo family into its faction; more importantly, Young Master Liu is the son of the head of the family outside, because his adoptive father's surname is Liu, and he also takes the surname Liu in order to be grateful and avoid suspicion. For a time, Liu Chang and Sanding both became the influential figures of the Guo family.

Guo Sanding withdrew the money from the account room and took Liu Chang to turn Qingniu County from beginning to end. From the "Baiwei Kitchen" where you eat, to the "Baicaotang" where you sell medicine, from the pawnshop to the grocery store, and then from the gambling house where gamblers go in and out, to the Baihuafang where the rich go out, this Baihuafang is of course not a place for selling flowers, but a place frequented by men -- a kiln; from food to use and play, Liu Chang is dazzled and has benefited a lot. Liu Chang grew up in Liujia Village since he was a child, never left the village, and the rest of the year was hidden in Niutou Mountain for two and a half years, and then went to Heifeng Village to take revenge, and then came here, never saw so many tricks.

Everywhere he went, Liu Chang stopped to look at it, and didn't say anything. This became more and more stable in Guo Sanding's eyes, and he thought that he was worthy of being a person who had seen the world. As everyone knows, Liu Chang doesn't know what to buy and is hesitating. In the end, he returned to Baicaotang and wanted to buy a few ginsengs that were more than 500 years old, so frightened that Guo Sanding almost broke through the door of the pharmacy, and he couldn't even buy the whiskers of 500-year-old ginseng for 100 taels of silver, so how many more did he want?

Out of the door of the pharmacy, Guo Sanding wiped the sweat on his head: This little ancestor's vision is too high, and he has opened his mouth to be more than 500 years old ginseng, and how many more are there? Each one is thousands of taels of silver! It's not enough to smash yourself into bone slag. Under the pretext that the banquet of the head of the family was about to start, he hurriedly led Liu Chang back to Guo's house, and he didn't spend a cent of one hundred taels of silver. But this is even more firm, Guo Sanding's determination to hug Liu Chang's thigh, and to serve this young master well.

At the reception dinner, Guo Shoujin, the head of the Guo family, solemnly introduced Liu Chang, saying that he was a closed disciple of the second brother Guo Shouyin, and came to the Guo family to recognize the sect. and introduced a group of Guo family children, and instructed the brothers to help each other and so on. During the banquet, Guo Shoujin mentioned that the last dart, the goods of the commercial bank were robbed and more than a dozen mainstays of the family were killed, and he was recently forced to accept the challenge by the Liu and Zhao families, and expressed the hope that Liu Chang would represent the Guo family to participate in the competition.

Liu Chang thought about it and agreed, after all, Mr. Guo is his life-saving benefactor, and it is also appropriate to do something for his family, and he doesn't want to eat and live for nothing. This secular competition should not be difficult for himself, the three murderers of Heifeng Village, who have been famous for many years, were killed in their own hands, not to mention these guys who can't get on the stage.

Guo Shoujin was very happy when he saw that Liu Chang agreed, and he raised his glass frequently, and the guests and hosts enjoyed a reception banquet.

After the meal, Liu Chang was led by the maidservant to the prepared room and fell asleep.
