[Chapter Word Count:2578Last Updated:2014-08-1312:00:00.0]

Xiong Chu came out of the mountain again, and he was taught a lesson by the strange old man before he could come out, so he had already paid attention to the things on the rivers and lakes.

In particular, the letter found on horseback later was more than 20 pages long, which can actually be regarded as a book.

Since it is equivalent to a book of letters, the eccentric old man certainly says a lot in it.

Everything that should be said has been said, and not a word that should not have been said has been said.

In addition to the cultivation of martial arts, there is also the current basic state of today, and the current situation of the various major schools of martial arts is also involved. There is also a general explanation of the things on the rivers and lakes.

The middle-aged man in front of him looked inconspicuous at first glance, but Xiong Chu found that although this guy did not have the slightest momentum, he was definitely a powerful character. Because when one of his eyes blinked, there was a hint of essence.

As for the guy who scolded later, Xiong Chu didn't know him. Their table was just behind the storyteller's side, and the light in that place was so dim that it was impossible to see.

After some "punishment" by the eccentric old man, Xiong Chu is no longer the former Wuxia Ameng, although he is not very proficient in the division of martial arts forces, but the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River belong to his scope of activities, so he is naturally more careful.

Hanhan Valley Pass, although it is a military pass, basically has little to do with ordinary people, but for the green forest road in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the east of Hangu Pass belongs to the scope of Songshan Shaolin Temple, and the west of Hangu Pass is the world of Yuanjiazhai.

Wangxiang City is located to the east of Hangu Pass, which should belong to the scope of Luoyang, and the Splendid Pavilion is located to the west of Hangu Pass, which is said to belong to the scope of Yuanjiazhai.

However, Hangu Pass belongs to the dividing line between the two major forces, so no one knows which side of the power Wangxiang City and Jinxiu Pavilion belong to here.

Friends in the rivers and lakes understand that whether it is Songshan Shaolin Temple or Xin'an Yuanjiazhai, it is impossible to establish their own forces on the edge of Hangu Pass. This is because it has the intention of provoking the other side and does not conform to the basic principle of harmonious coexistence between the two major forces.

However, being able to prosper in the gap between the two major forces for a long time shows that Wangxiang City and Jinxiu Pavilion definitely have a deep background, which is also the fundamental reason why friends in the rivers and lakes dare not make trouble here.

Hangu Pass is not allowed to fight, let alone use swords and swords, which is a common rule since the founding of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

But today, someone slapped the table and scolded, obviously deliberately finding fault, and it was aimed at this sick man in Xiliang.

Inside the lobby, there was silence now, because everyone was very shocked.

Dare to find fault in this place of Hangu Pass, who is this person, could it be that he ate the courage of the ambitious leopard and wanted to challenge the authority of Shaolin Temple and Yuanjiazhai at the same time?

"Hahaha, what a joke!"

The middle-aged man was scolded by others, but he didn't get angry, but raised his head and poured it down, and then hugged his fists and said to the storyteller: "I don't want to question your source, but what I said is what the lone wolf himself said to the outside world." In fact, as long as you go to Jiuquan, everyone knows about it. ”

At this moment, six more Xiliang men wearing sheepskin jackets and carrying scimitars at their waists came in outside the door. Looking at the posture of walking, you can know that these people have kung fu. After bowing to the middle-aged man, the eight big men who had originally come in turned around and went out, leaving these six people here to drink and eat.

Xiong Chu didn't deliberately eavesdrop on the other party's conversation, but the two tables were next to each other, even if he didn't want to listen. Especially after being confined to the cave for three months, Xiong Chu found that his eyesight and hearing had changed dramatically.

Even though the last six people who came in spoke quietly enough, Xiong Chu still understood: "The camel team has all arrived, but it has not yet passed the level, and it is temporarily staying on the street outside Splendid City." ”

The facts are very clear, the middle-aged man with eight people seems to be opening the way in front, and there is a large army behind. Of course, it's all camel caravans, not armies.

Although someone slapped the table and opened his mouth to be abusive, the person concerned, that is, the middle-aged man, obviously wanted to calm things down and did not have a seizure.

The storyteller was dismissed by the middle-aged man, but he didn't take it seriously.

He smiled slightly, as if thoughtful, and then slapped the startled wood, and started to talk again, talking about the battle of Salhu the year before (the forty-seventh year of Wanli, 1619).

"Ladies and gentlemen, please think, those local clans are strong, who doesn't have thousands of acres of fertile land, tens of thousands of cattle and horses? Gold and silver coins are full of sweat and cattle, full of green hair. But what did they do for the Ming Dynasty? Cultivate a few nerds, and then the party fights constantly, bringing disaster to the country and the people. ”

The storyteller's words were violent, which made all the diners worried: "Whether he is the Donglin Party, the Sanwu gentry, the Qi Party, the Xuan Party, the Qin Party, or the Chu Party, it seems to be sanctimonious, but in fact, it is a desire for profit and intrigue." ”

"They don't know anything about crops, they are all people who are not diligent and industrious; they don't know engineering, they all despise them as strange and skillful; they don't understand military affairs, and they let the Tartars run rampant outside, and their lives are ruined. ”

"The Jurchen Tartar Nurha's red wolf son is ambitious, and he has been working hard all night to expand the army, repairing equipment, sending spies, bribing generals and eunuchs, and spying on the truth and reality of the Ming Dynasty. But those party members and thieves were busy with civil strife, ignoring the danger of Daming, and fighting to the death with each other. ”

"In the first battle of Salhu the year before last, the Jurchen Tartar Nurhachi concentrated his superior forces to break through each one, and defeated the Ming three-way army in five days, and nearly 100,000 soldiers were stained with blood. The foundation of the Ming Dynasty is already crumbling, and those eunuchs are still assassinating Mingzheng. I think that I have been established for more than 200 years, and now the collapse is imminent, where are the people of insight?"

Mr. Storyteller is really too much, it can be said that every sentence is heart-wrenching, and his mouth is full of rebellious words that he wants to be punished by the imperial court.

Nowadays, the spies of Jinyiwei and Dongxi Factory are everywhere, so most of the diners are worried about harming themselves, so they have got up and left their seats and returned to their rooms.

After a short time, there were two tables left in the hall: one table for Xiong Chu, one table for the middle-aged man and the last six people to come in.

Prince Xiong is not very familiar with military affairs, and he is here purely to pass the time. Because he couldn't get to Luoyang today, he wasn't ready to walk at night.

The eccentric old man asked him to come out, just to familiarize himself with the situation in the rivers and lakes, but to hurry away without hurrying.

If you want to understand the situation in the martial arts, the best way is to go to the Goolan Wine House. These are the only places where there is a mixture of fish and dragons, with all kinds of characters emerging one after another, and the fastest information is transmitted.

When the middle-aged man took people away, it was already in the west. As a result, there was only one person left in the entire lobby, and that was Xiong Chu.

When the middle-aged man left, he stared at himself without a trace, and Xiong Chu didn't care.

After all, if several people are eating, and you are sitting next to others alone, there is clearly a suspicion of eavesdropping. Even if you're not actively eavesdropping, you're passively listening a lot.

The middle-aged man took people away, except for a dozing account room on the counter, and the lobby was already empty.

Xiong Chu drank three glasses of stuffy wine alone, and he was also in a lack of interest, so he simply got up and returned to his room, then closed the door and began to meditate.

Now he has become obsessed with meditation and internal strength, as long as he has time, he is meditating and practicing, and the internal force contained in the dantian is also increasing day by day. Only in this way did the bear prince realize how naïve and ridiculous he used to be.

In the evening, Xiong Chu came out for dinner, left Wangxiang City, climbed the city wall and headed north, and soon entered Bajiang Mountain.

It turned out that this was a compulsory course for Xiong Chu in the recent period - to practice a strange "gecko climbing cloud technique", and it was also the last picture left by the strange old man on the stone wall of the cave, with only one thousand and eighty footprints and an arrow of the travel route.

After more than half a month of cultivation, Xiong Chu has slowly mastered this set of footwork. After entering the dense forest of Phoenix Mountain, he left aside the path and walked on the steep and steep mountain wall.

In fact, he didn't call away, but ran, running fast on the cliffs.

The landing point under the feet is strictly in accordance with the 1,000 and 80 footprints, turning in 36 directions, and finally forming a huge closed circle and returning to the starting point.

After completing the nine cycles according to the cultivation tasks set by Xiong Chu, it was already the second watch day when he returned to Wangxiang City. I soaked my feet in a large basin of hot water, and then lay down in bed, but I couldn't sleep.

The recent occurrence of qiē is really weird.
