Chapter 16: The Battle of the Immortal Path

The blade was like a swift rain, and in less than half an hour, more than a thousand pieces of firewood had been chopped, put down the stone lock, rubbed the slightly sour left shoulder, and unconsciously, there were more people on the martial arts training ground.

Han Yuanshan is not only the leader of the hunting team in Hanjia Village, but also the head of the martial arts training field, the child will start basic martial arts training before the age of eight at the latest, and practice martial arts with the head of the head of Han.

In this martial arts training ground, almost all the children have been reprimanded by Han Yuanshan, except for Han Shi.

Before the age of thirteen, Han Shi had never set foot in the martial arts training ground, and naturally there was no way to train.

And since Han Shi came here for the first time two years ago, his calmness and self-confidence have made many peers look sideways, and even Han Yuanshan, because of his extraordinary performance, made an exception to directly incorporate Han Shi, who has no qualifications, into the peripheral hunting team, and later, Han Shi also sat on the captain position because of various outstanding features.

And he has also become one of the three most eye-catching people in the hunting team, if nothing else, after the year, Han Shi will be transferred from the peripheral hunting team by Han Yuanshan and enter the strongest hunting team in Hanjia Village, and he will also face the most dangerous and ferocious beasts in the depths of the dense forest.

Han Shi's mother had been worried about this for a long time, but it was Han Blacksmith, but she did not have the slightest intention of blocking it, and acquiesced to this matter.

As early as when Han Blacksmith sent Han Shi to Woniu Mountain and worship Mr. Xuanyuan Wenwei, he understood that Han Shi's future path was only for Han Shi to choose, and what he could do was to do his best to support Han Shi, whether in front of him or behind him.

If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow.

Once upon a time, he also thought about letting Han Shi learn the iron-striking skills with him, and if he had a skill, he would not worry about his livelihood in the future.

But as Han Shi spent ten years on Woniu Mountain, Han Blacksmith could see a touch of yearning for the vast world from Han Shi's gaze, as well as the meaning of loneliness contained in silence.

This lonely height, only when Han Shi looks into the distance and stands silently, will it appear in Han Shi's slightly immature back.

This lonely height, only Han Blacksmith can feel it, perhaps, this is the father of Zhizi Mo Ruo.

He didn't teach Han Shi to make iron, but Han Shi himself, who was quite interested in iron, and from time to time when Han blacksmith was resting, he turned on a hammer and practiced his hands, but he made a few small iron tools.

In this regard, Han Blacksmith did not stop it, but smiled, smoked, and quietly looked at the red-hot iron bars on the anvil, and watched Han Shi fall one after another.

He couldn't make any big sense, he just felt that there was something in this simple percussion that moved him.

This is the realization he has gained over the years, and this kind of realization can only be understood, not spoken.

But he believes that one day, Han Shi will also understand.

In the past, at this time, the sound of shouting and cheering on the martial arts training ground was endless, but today, the atmosphere was a little dignified, and everyone was silent, a little dull.

Han Yuanshan, the village head, Han Chuan, and a few well-known old men in the village were walking slowly with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was dressed in black, with exquisite clothes, and a peace jade buckle hanging from his waist, and the whole person looked extraordinary.

Han Yuanshan whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear, and the middle-aged man showed a look of affirmation, glanced at the young man on the martial arts training ground, and got into the carriage next to him.

"I'll leave this matter to Brother Yuanshan, ten days later, I will be waiting for you in Dongyun City. ”

Han Yuanshan clasped his hands into fists, "Brother Zimo, please rest assured to go back, in ten days, I will make you have an unexpected joy." ”

The carriage gradually moved away, Han Yuanshan turned around, looked at these energetic teenagers, and thought that he was so high-spirited back then, he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Han Yuanshan and the old men next to him whispered a few words, and someone took the order to leave, and in less than three moments, the whole village came to the martial arts training ground, as if they knew that there was something important to announce, and people were talking in a whisper.

Han Yuanshan cleared his throat, took a step forward, pressed his hands weakly, and everyone quieted down, "Folks, in Dongyun City, five hundred miles away, the surname Han is one of the three major families, more than three hundred years ago, for some reason, a branch of the Han surname left Dongyun City, moved here, and scattered the leaves, so that there is today's Hanjia Village." ”

"This matter is very old, and the rights and wrongs of the year are not clear, so there are not many people who know about it except me before, and today Han Zimo, the third son of the contemporary head of the Han family in Dongyun City, is here, on behalf of the main line surnamed Han, and summons three young people from Hanjia Village who are no more than eighteen years old, together with the young people of the main lineage, on behalf of the Han family and the other two families in Dongyun City, to compete for six opportunities to enter the immortal gate. ”

The crowd was silent, and when they learned that Hanjia Village was a branch of the Han family in Dongyun City, everyone felt confused and shocked, and before they came back to their senses, they heard the three words "enter the immortal gate" again, and a fanatical look permeated everyone's eyes, only Han Shi's eyes were still as calm as ever.

"I don't know how the so-called immortals compare with the master. ”

"From tomorrow, all the young people surnamed Han who are not yet eighteen years old in the village will come to the martial arts training ground, and everyone will take turns to compete until the strongest three people are decided. ”

Han Yuanshan waved his hand and left without looking back.

People are gradually dispersed, every family has the same mind, looking forward to tomorrow their sons and daughters can beat the crowd and win the top three, as for the qualification to enter the immortal gate, no one dares to say, but everyone, but in their hearts, has thought about it countless times.

The sky had just dawned, and there were many people on the martial arts training ground, Han Yuanshan sat on the stump, smoking a dry cigarette, not far away, Han Zaixing suddenly exerted force with both hands, and easily lifted a boulder of more than 500 catties above his head, attracting a burst of applause.

Han Zaixing is the third son of the village chief Han Chuan, seventeen years old, two years older than Han Shi, burly and powerful, domineering personality, since he was a child, he is a little bully in the children's pile, he can only hold it and can't go against it, and later joined the hunting team, but he is also unruly, and often does not cooperate with everyone's actions.

It is rumored that Han Zaixing once inadvertently dug out a hundred years of yellow essence in the mountains, and after swallowing it raw, it gradually became infinitely powerful.

Three months ago, Han Zaixing saw Han Shi, who was cheered by everyone like a hero, and couldn't help but feel jealous and hateful in his heart.

"Now that I have the opportunity to act in public, it's time to teach Han Shi a lesson, heroes are not just casual people, if there is a hero, it can only be me Han Zaixing. ”

Knocking on the cigarette bag pot, Han Yuanshan stood up, the time came, and the children who were too young were removed from the martial arts training ground, and there were about forty teenagers of the right age in the village.

After a little calculation, Han Yuanshan divided the more than 40 teenagers into three groups, recorded their names respectively, and played against each other in pairs, with the winner staying and the loser out.

Han Zaixing is divided into the first group, and in the same group, there are five Han Shi's hunting teammates, after the training of hunting, they are not good at stubble, and they usually have a little friction with Han Zaixing.

At this time, for this place, everyone was gearing up, Han Zaixing watched coldly, sneering in his heart, and looked straight at Han Shi, who was in the third group, with his brows furrowed slightly.

In the second group, a young man in black, with a pair of silkworm eyebrows, a cold look like ice, arms hugging each other, eyes closed, as if these opponents around him were some local chickens and dogs, vulnerable.

The black-clothed young man named Han Yu, his parents died when he was a child, and he was adopted by Mrs. Wang in the west of the village.

Since Mrs. Wang passed away three years ago, the whole person is even more revealing a feeling of coldness, after joining the hunting team, a body of kung fu is even more perfect, every hunt is rushed to the forefront, hunting countless beasts, extremely brave.

Han Yu's temperament seems to be cold and arrogant, but he is willing to cooperate and sacrifice for others, and has been recognized by many people, and now he is Han Yuanshan's right-hand man, according to legend, he has fought with Han Zaixing several times, but he doesn't know how to win or lose.

A mountain chopping knife fell straight down like Mount Tai's pressure, and the young man with the long sword in his hand on the opposite side had no way to retreat, his teeth were clenched, his heart was horizontal, and his eyes also showed a ruthless look, and he raised his sword with both hands to meet it.

I only heard a loud bang, accompanied by a buzzing sound, the long sword was instantly broken in two, the young man was shocked by the huge force, and the whole person flew out of the air, fell on the stone slab, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly fainted.

"It's another waste, if it weren't for sparing your lives, the master only used three points of strength, and no one went through ten moves under me, and you guys were all rubbish. ”

Han Zaixing took back the mountain chopping knife, leaned on his shoulder, and walked to Han Yuanshan's side.

The crowd was full of admiration and praise, and the village chief Han Chuan and several old people around him also nodded and chuckled and greeted each other.

In less than an hour, the first group decided the winner, Han Zaixing won the first place in four cities in a row, each time it was less than ten moves, and the teenagers against him were all faint and broken, but Han Zaixing shot quite measured this time, and the few people who passed out were only slightly injured.

Han Yuanshan's evaluation of Han Zaixing in his heart couldn't help but be a little higher, and he said secretly: "At the beginning of the seventh layer of the Forging Body Realm, it was only high, not low, which was quite good. ”

Han Yuanshan announced loudly: "In the first group, Han Zaixing is qualified, and the second group begins." ”

"Wait, Uncle Yuanshan, it's not early today, in order to save time to watch the clash in the third group, I am willing to play against everyone in the second group alone. When Han Yu said this, he didn't even open his eyelids.

The crowd was in an uproar, this Han Yu was really bold, he really thought that he was invincible in the world.

If Han Zaixing exudes domineering, then this Han Yu exudes absolute self-confidence, and a cold arrogance from the bones arises spontaneously.

Han Yuanshan glanced at the chattering crowd around him and laughed, "Okay, come like this." ”

Han Yu slowly untied the knot on the outside of the sword sleeve, pulled out a dark long sword, and pointed it at the dozen teenagers opposite.

"Let's go up together, the one who can defeat me, you are the first in the second group, maybe you still have a chance to enter the immortal gate. ”

As soon as these words came out, the huge temptation made the trace of hesitation in the hearts of these dozen teenagers disappear, and they all raised their swords and rushed over, the corners of Han Yu's mouth flashed a trace of disdain, one person and one sword, and went straight into the crowd, and the crowd on the periphery of the martial arts training ground only saw the figure and the sword shadow intertwined.

In a short time, a small bundle of hair flew up and fell to the ground, and a young man smiled wryly and withdrew from the fight.

Again, the same is true.

In less than half a burnt incense, all the teenagers withdrew from the competition, leaving only Han Yu holding his sword on the spot.

The sword light has been reduced, but the cold meaning seems to have just come out of the sheath.

Han Yu has been practicing hard for many years, and he often walks on the edge of danger in hunting, so he naturally understands the importance of speed in his moves.

In his moves, relative to the size of his strength, he pays more attention to speed, and with a flick of his fingers, he can almost shoot out four swords, which is slightly inferior to Han Yuanshan.

Han Yu took out his sword like lightning, and in a fraction of the moment, he broke the hair on everyone's foreheads, and these dozen teenagers also understood that Han Yu had already left a lot of hands, otherwise, what fell off was definitely not just a strand of hair, and everyone lost their fighting spirit and withdrew from the martial arts training ground.

"The second group Han Yu won and qualified, and the third group began. ”

Han Yuanshan glanced at Han Yu deeply, "This Han Yu is easy to move, obviously not doing his best, so it seems that compared to Han Zaixing, he is better than Han Zaixing, but I don't know what chance he can have if he fights with Han Shi?"

Han Yu hugged his fist at Han Yuanshan and closed his eyes again, as if he had no interest in the next fight, but Han Zaixing smiled coldly, and a grim color flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Han Yu, this person, will definitely be my great enemy in the future, a year ago, I was only narrowly defeated by half a move, now he is faster with a sword, if it goes on like this, it will be difficult for me to be an opponent. ”

"Looking at Han Yuanshan's meaning, if nothing else, in the future, the position of the leader of the hunting team in Hanjia Village will definitely belong to Han Yu, this old guy usually suppresses me, with these two people, where will I be placed in the future?

Han Shi took a light step, threw his hand at the young man opposite, took out the firewood knife behind his back, and held it flat on his chest.

The young man sneered, and stabbed straight out with a sword, using the most direct trick in swordsmanship, bullying the short blade was the most effective, Han Shi's eyes were calm, the firewood knife was raised, and he stuck to the back of the sword, and with a lead, the long sword deviated out.

Han Shi's feet were as flexible as a swimming fish, and he was close in an instant, and a knife was flat, and the young man was shocked and immediately returned to the sword to save himself.

But who knew that the trick just now was Han Shi's strategy to lure the enemy, he took advantage of the momentum to flick on the young man's wrist, and the young man felt a feeling of soreness and numbness coming, and he couldn't help but let go of the long sword, and before he could raise his head, a firewood knife was already between his neck.

Han Shi's shot was so unwavering, he won four games in a row, won the first place in the third group, and won the last qualification.

As for the four losers, many years later, in retrospect, it is still not clear how they were defeated under this ordinary chai knife.

The blacksmith and his wife clenched their fingers, their hearts were excited, and there were many villagers next to them who congratulated them one after another, and the blacksmith and his wife were smiling and saluted one by one.

This scene was seen by Han Chuan, the village chief not far away, and a trace of unkindness flashed in his eyes, and Han Zaixing was even more dissatisfied, how could an iron striker be qualified to be congratulated and praised like this.

"Yuanshan, now the three places have been decided, but the strength and weakness of these three seats have not yet been discharged, you see ......" Han Chuan, the village head, touched his beard and looked at Han Yuanshan.

"Yes, Uncle Yuanshan, I also want to learn martial arts with Han Yu and Han Shi brothers, and I will improve everyone. Han Zaixing also echoed.

The crowd fell silent instantly, except for the worried eyes of the blacksmith Han and his wife, everyone else wanted to see the competition between these three young men with high martial arts.

Han Yu opened his eyes and stared at Han Shi with burning eyes, "The rest of the people don't have to worry, you and I have a fight, it is imperative, what do you think?"

Han Zaixing was furious when he heard this, "Han Yu, what do you mean, what do you mean that the rest of the people are not worried? Could it be that you look down on me Han Zaixing, come on, come on, you and I will fight first." ”

Han Yu was still staring at Han Shi, Han Shi smiled slightly and nodded slightly.

"It's okay, the three of you will be seated today, no matter what the result is, before the end of this trip to Dongyun City, you can't challenge again, do you three have any objections?" Han Yuanshan asked loudly, but he sneered in his heart.

"Han Chuan, you old fox, do you want to use this to establish your power for your son Han Zai? But this matter will definitely disappoint you. ”

"In the first game, Han Shi, you played, against Han Zaixing, I hope that the two sides will stop and not hurt the harmony. Han Shi bowed his hand slightly to Han Yuanshan and nodded yes.

Three months ago, after returning from this distress, he learned from his father and mother that Han Yuanshan tracked him to the depths of the forest alone for him, regardless of the danger, and Han Shi also admired and thanked Han Yuanshan a little more.

Han Shi's face was calm, and the chai knife was still held flat in front of his chest, waiting for his opponent.

Han Zaixing shouted, raised more than forty catties of chopping knife obliquely with one hand, without the slightest drag of mud and water, and vigorously slashed over, Han Shi took a step back, and the tip of the knife was slashed with less than a finger on Han Shi's chest.

Han Shi took advantage of the situation to advance, and the firewood knife slashed at Han Zaixing's right hand holding the knife, if he refused to let go, he was afraid that he would be splattered with blood on the spot, Han Zaixing's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain, "Such an obvious trap, Han Shi didn't even see it, will I give you this good opportunity." ”

Han Zaixing's right hand pushed, the mountain chopping knife brought out the whirring wind, spun and flew towards Han Shi, Han Zaixing clenched his left hand, and smashed a punch towards Han Shi's front door.

Han Zaixing didn't do his best before, he could already lift more than 500 catties of boulders with one hand, if he broke out with all his strength, he would have the strength of a thousand catties, and at this age, he did have the capital to be proud.

If this punch hits Han Shimian's door, the bridge of his nose will be broken, his face will be ruined, and he will even worry about his life, Han Shi's eyes will be cold.

"I didn't want to be ruthless, everyone is a fellow villager, what is the deep hatred? But this Han Zaixing is ruthless, so don't blame me. ”

The firewood knife swayed freely like graffiti, and with a flick of the fingers, it slashed out six knives in an instant, and the speed was so fast that it turned into six knife shadows, and the rotating chopping knife was hit six times in a row, like a feather still in the air, falling lightly.

These six knives are slashed in six different places, but there is only one sound.

Han Shi clenched his fist with his left hand, met Han Zaixing's left fist, and the two fists collided, Han Zaixing only felt an unrivaled force coming down his left arm, his chest was like being bombarded by a heavy hammer, and the whole person flew back upside down like a piece of paper, hitting the big tree three zhang away.

Han Zaixing sat on the ground with his hair scattered, his face flushed, his teeth clenched tightly, not letting the blood spurt out of his mouth, his eyes staring at Han Shi, hatred and fear in his eyes were intertwined.

The village chief Han Chuan's face was pale, and he didn't say a word, but hurriedly sent someone to help Han Zaixing.

Han Yu's heart was filled with surprise and doubt, and his gaze at Han Shi had a hint of solemnity. And Han Yuanshan had long known about this result, his face was calm, he was the only one in the village who knew Han Shi's true strength.

One morning more than a month ago, when there were no others in the martial arts training ground, he had inadvertently seen that Han Shi was holding a 500-pound stone lock in his left hand, and the knife in his right hand was as fast as lightning, and he was able to hold on to half a stick of incense without blushing or panting.

Han Shi's strength made Han Yuanshan also stunned, and since then, Han Yuanshan has repeatedly warned Han Shi that when there are others, his hands cannot be raised more than two hundred catties, and it is unwise to easily expose his true strength.

The crowd was silent, everyone had a shocked look on their faces, Han Zaixing had the power of an overlord and everyone in the village knew it, and compared with Han Zaixing's burlyness, Han Shi was a little thin, I didn't expect that this delicate young man's body contained such violent power, and the chuckle on Han Shi's face now seemed to be so dazzling.

Han Yu closed his eyes, turned around, and strode away, "You and I have a fight, it is imperative, but not today, this day, it won't be too long." ”

"Today's seats have been scheduled, Han Shi won the first, Han Zaixing and Han Yu tied for second, in this trip to Dongyun City, these three representatives of Hanjia Village, set off in two days, let's disperse. Han Yuanshan waved his hand.

Han blacksmith was relieved, Han Shi's mother couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and the villagers all gathered around, you and I said a word, praised each other, and there were several middle-aged women of the same age who were good friends with Han Shi's mother, and asked about Han Shi's birthday for their own girl, and in one day, Han Shi became hot.

Two days later, in the early morning, the mist had not yet dissipated, and a group of more than ten people, led by Han Yuanshan, slowly left Hanjia Village from the west entrance of the village, Han Shi's mother lay quietly on the bed, as if she was still sleeping, but the pillow had been soaked with tears in the corners of her eyes.

The parting came so suddenly, so that Han Shi, who had never left home, was excited at the same time, but also had a faint sadness.

On the contrary, it was Han Blacksmith, but he looked at this quite indifferently, more than ten years ago, he had already expected today.

He didn't go to send Han Shi, just stood at the door quietly smoking a cigarette pouch, watching Han Shi go away, vaguely, only the old locust tree at the west entrance of the village remained, and it seemed that he was also silent about Han Shi's departure.

The so-called parting person is born precisely because of reunion, and the reunion one day in the future is precisely because of the parting at this moment.

"Stone, a good man has ambitions in all directions, your master is not a mortal, follow in his footsteps, but you must follow your own path. ”

"Go to the vast world and be a stone that is truly not afraid of wind and rain and can withstand the cold!"
