Chapter 14: Master
Ding Cheng knew that his martial arts were too far from that person, and there was no point in fighting any longer. Slowly, Ding Cheng adjusted his breathing, looked at the man, and saw clearly that the person in front of him was burly, with a full beard, and the spirit of a big hero jumped out. The man's hands and feet were chained with thick iron chains, and it was obvious that the people in the village were afraid that this man would escape, and this man must have been very powerful.
The man looked at Ding Cheng and asked, "Boy, who are you, and why are you locked up here?"
Ding Cheng was in danger, his mind changed sharply, and he didn't want to reveal his identity, so he asked, "Who is Your Excellency?"
The man laughed, "Boy, I asked you first, you should answer my question first!" Boy, listen up, I am Ma Beixiong, the owner of Golden Horse Village, and the people in the rivers and lakes call the smiling Arhat. ”
Ding Cheng has always lived in the mountains and rarely heard about the rivers and lakes, but he has also heard the name of the smiling Luohan Ma Beixiong. Jinmazhuang and Duanjiazhuang are equally famous, one is on the shore of Dianchi Lake in the east, and the other is on the shore of Erhai Lake in the west. Ma Beixiong, the owner of Jinma Village, and Duan Nantian, the owner of Duanjiazhuang, are called "Dian Ma Li Duan", but Duan Nantian is humble, and Ma Beixiong is heroic.
Ding Cheng didn't expect to see Ma Beixiong here, and asked in surprise: "Are you really Ma Beixiong?"
The man patted his chest and laughed: "If it's fake, besides, what's so good about Ma Beixiong? Is it still worth pretending?"
Ding Cheng immediately bowed down and said: "The kid offended his predecessors without a trace, and asked his seniors Haihan." ”
Ma Beixiong helped Ding Cheng up and said with a smile: "Hurry up, hurry up, I don't like people to be polite to me the most, don't call me a senior, it sounds awkward, as if I am seventy or eighty." ”
Ma Beixiong patted the ground and said, "Come on, come on, sit on the ground and talk, now you should tell me who you are and why you are locked up, right?"
Ding Cheng said his name, and told him how Duanjiazhuang was robbed, how he pursued the murderer to this point, and how he met Wu Laohan on the road, and was lured here as it was, and he was ashamed that he fell so easily into the enemy's tricks!
When Ma Beixiong heard that Duanjiazhuang was in trouble, he was furious, so angry that he scolded his mother several times. Then he sighed again, patted Ding Cheng on the shoulder and said: "Brother Ding doesn't have to blame himself, these shameless bandits are cunning and abnormal, even veterans like me have fallen for their tricks and are locked up here! A person's inexperience in the rivers and lakes can be accumulated slowly, but if the mind is not right, he will become a treacherous villain and will not be saved." Brother Ding, you have a chivalrous mind, this is the most valuable. ”
When Ding Cheng heard this, he was immediately relieved and said with a smile: "Master Ma Zhuang is right, although these shameless people have gained for a while, as long as I, Ding Cheng, can get rid of this misfortune, he must eradicate this batch of scum and remove the disaster for the martial arts!"
Ma Beixiong nodded when he heard this: "That's right! You and I are righteous, why not be afraid of these shameless rats! But then again, Brother Ding, your swordsmanship is more than brisk and not calm, and when you meet a master, you will inevitably seem constrained and unable to use it." ”
Ding Cheng said with a smile: "It's just useless to be restrained! Just like the trick with the owner of the horse village just now, the owner of the horse village only needs to stretch out his fingers and snap the sword in my hand, and almost shake my iron sword out of my hand." ”
