Chapter 190
The Shen Dao swung up, the green blade fell, and the cold light flickered from time to time. Even with the martial arts attainments of the martial arts heroes present, they could not intervene in this terrifying decisive battle.
In the boundless rain, only two figures flashed up, the sound of swords and swords clashing with the increasingly violent rain, the fierce killing intent could be felt from far away, only saw the overlapping of swords and moves, like a giant python The golden scales whirled and squirmed, causing tons of rainwater to rain down from the sky, flooding all senses including eyes and ears, filling the slightly crowded world of Guangzhou City.
But the reason is not because the martial arts in this duel are so sublime that the clouds and dragons hide the fog without scales and claws, or that the moves are so new that they have never been seen in ancient times and are jaw-dropping.On the contrary, although the two's moves have been changed beyond recognition due to many experiences, they can still see the clues of integrating a hundred schools of thought into one, and creating a new sky with their own ingenuity.
——With just a few moves, you can still see the charm of Bagua Sword, Qiankun Sword, Taiji Sword, and Plum Blossom Sword, and you can also see the essence of Taiyi Sword, Eight Immortals Sword, Xuangong Sword, and Longhua Sword. The complicated martial arts There are so many weapons in their hands.
What is really frightening is that at this time, there are faint thunders and heavy rains between the sky and the earth, and the power of the gods has filled and occupied the boundless sky, the highest and the most mysterious void. The origin of the door, it seems that it is very familiar with the heart, and the time is not allowed to be revealed, and the mystery is so mysterious that it has taken away a trace of the charm between heaven and earth.
That's a killing intent!
The majestic terrain suddenly appeared in front of the eyes, but the two swordsmen and swords clashed to occupy the fleeing place by accident, taking away the last position on the stage of heaven and earth here, and magnified the momentum beyond moves and martial arts to the extreme. No outsider can take away the sharpness in front of you!Everyone didn't know how to describe it, but the intuition of a martial arts practitioner told them that if he broke in rashly at this time, he must be the one who died!
Standing in the heavy rain, Chen Jialuo watched the battle of beasts in the distance, and felt that there was a rush of anger in his chest, and he couldn't find a place to vent his anger, let alone like the opposite. Have to meet evenly matched opponents.
Looking around, it is not one or two people who feel like him, everyone is clearly infected by the murderous intentions of this place, the dragons and snakes rise from the land, the old man of the Qingqi Gang, and the woman is like a woman in red, who is seriously injured For example, Wen Tailai, the four masters, at this time, the courage to fight to the death, the courage of the world is born in the eyes--before this kind of peerless power of the world, only the pure and unique martial arts can be brave, and finally Work hard for a return to the courage of the mantis.
The corner of Chen Jialuo's mouth overflowed with blood, it was because he was biting his lips and tongue to maintain his inner clarity.
At this time, his thoughts were spinning, and he suddenly remembered what his uncle said before leaving the customs, which had clearly stated that there would be a "commoner clothed man" on this trip to follow the "white rainbow penetrating the sun".
Uncle said that he would be the only real assassin in the world, but now the assassin who looks like gold paper is blocked by the same high-level strong hand, barely clearing the way forward, and the assassination plan is gratifying, but he doesn't know how to proceed .
After thinking about it, Chen Jialuo didn't act rashly, but the martial arts heroes couldn't bear the killing intent surging in their hearts, got up and passed the two swordsmen who were fighting, and ran into the Japanese pirates who were ready to go.
There is no problem with such a choice, because at this time, except for the two people who are fighting decisively in front of them, everyone knows that the enemy is still lurking in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the only way to kill until the blood-stained banners and flags are sacrificed to the sky is today's decisive battle. Fighting makes sense.
Sword light and blood shadows appeared in front of my eyes, and I couldn't tell whether it was the blood of the enemy or the blood of my comrades. The roar was covered by the torrential rain, and I could only see the expression and demeanor deformed by anger, and the original martial arts abandoned. After cultivating the disguise of body and mind, it is the most naked killing intent.
Through the torrential rain, Chen Jialuo saw with his own eyes one after another Japanese pirates who were impatient because they were about to arrive, suddenly cut off a piece of flesh on his arm with a knife, and numb the extremely cold killing intent in his heart with the severe pain. Doubts intensified.
This is definitely not the state of mind that ordinary Japanese pirates can have, and the details that prove that Chen Jialuo's worries are justified soon appeared again.
I saw two palm-stretched masters strike directly with horizontal fists, their arms flattened out as if their arms had been extended two feet out of thin air, and they were heavily imprinted on the dark-colored Japanese pirates' clothes, causing the opponents to vomit blood by surprise and retreat. There is no reason for survival.
But before the violent and tyrannical palm was withdrawn, the injured Japanese pirate jumped up screaming strangely, pointed the long knife in his hand to the sky, and cut two martial arts masters in half along the shoulder to the waist!
The blood mist scattered in the fear, making the expression of the little Japanese pirate extraordinarily ferocious, but the bright silver blade shone like a full meal, and it was not stained with any color. It was a martial arts man who suffered a great loss as soon as he fought Immediately be vigilant, and turn to Taoist priest Wuchen holding a sword and Yang Chengxie holding a flagpole to meet the enemy and resist the momentum of the opponent's counter charge.
Everyone knows that the opposite is a real elite, not an ordinary Japanese warrior!
Right now, our own side has already fallen into an unexpected bitter battle, and judging from the current situation, the previous actions of Taoist priest Wuchen and the sword master are also because they have already noticed the abnormality of each other, so they take the risk. Daoist Chen went to try the move, and then let the sword master make a breakthrough.
The two seem to be hostile with each other, but in fact they have exhausted the caution of attacking later and anticipating the enemy first.
Chen Jialuo suddenly felt extremely uneasy. Some rumors that had been circulating in the family for a hundred years bothered him, and the unpredictable clues at the moment made it difficult for him to sit still. Therefore, he decided to try it out by himself, and finally, in the rainstorm He soared into the air, showing an extremely brilliant lightness kung fu foundation.
Chen Jialuo clasped his hands in his wet sleeves, like a dancing lady in white passing through flowers, but the shadow of a shadowy fist has already flashed in front of the eyes of the two pirates. At the end, they tightened together, like a tightened tendon suddenly loosened, rolling down the ten thousand forces, and suddenly turned into a fierce, unrivaled blow!
"Helmsman be careful!"
A roar sounded in the rainstorm, and Chen Jialuo realized that the Japanese pirate in front of him was not dead after being hit. He turned around forcibly while maintaining the appearance of his chest collapsing and spitting blood, and stared at Chen Jialuo with a pair of protruding dead fish eyes. , the long knife in his hand suddenly turned the edge of the knife, seeing that a fierce offensive arc was drawn down, and life and death were separated.
Chen Jialuo suddenly turned around in a critical situation, sideways to avoid this murderous slash, but another Japanese pirate had already tracked him down, and he was seen leaping forward with cunning movements, which was blocked by the light of the saber Sight, if an ordinary person encounters such a counterattack, he has already been deprived of energy and cannot fight back.
Hearing the roar, he intuited that there was another person leaping horizontally from behind him, and he leaped more than ten feet into the ground, but it seemed that he landed on both feet without any effort.There was a dull slamming sound and a painful knee creaking sound, but since the Japanese sword was five feet long, the range of swinging the sword had exceeded five feet at this time, further sealing off Chen Jialuo's escape route.
Daoist Wuchen and Zhao Banshan had precise eyesight, and they stood up together to rescue Chen Jialuo from the dangerous place after fighting twice, and even in this situation, there was still a dead Japanese pirate who pulled out a short knife from his waist, He wanted to pierce Zhao Banshan's ankle as if he was dying.
After personally experiencing the Japanese pirate's sword skills, the Chen family already knew why the martial arts heroes have profound martial arts attainments but can't make an inch of progress!
The sword techniques used by the Japanese pirates in front of them are extremely dangerous, all the swords are wrapped, the head-cutting trick is to wrap the head, the throat-cutting trick is to entangle the body, or the small arc is to cut off the wrist and arm.
"Sir, the Japanese pirates' kung fu is difficult because it changes extremely quickly. The swift and swift chops and kills are combined with the ease of advancing and retreating. It seems that the fight can no longer continue."
The three stand together and rely on each other. Zhao Banshan was born in Wenzhou Taijimen, which was the front line of Qi Shaobao's fight against the Japanese. Naturally, he has also heard stories about Japanese pirates' sword skills, so he put forward his own point of view.
"I think there is something wrong with these Japanese people, especially their kung fu."
Daoist Wuchen held the Qiushui sword in front of his body, but frowned and said, "I know that the Japanese use their swords to measure their shape when they are long, and to leap when they are short. Hidden away. But the group of people in front of them are rushing like crazy, five soldiers can't resist, and when they fight, they are full of indescribable weirdness..."
Chen Jialuo frowned when he heard this, and turned to look at Daoist Wuchen, "Daoist, the weird thing you said is that there is no 'human' in their sword skills?"
As soon as this remark came out, Taoist Priest Wu Chen, who was immersed in doubts, suddenly took a long breath of air, and looked at Chen Jialuo with disbelief in his eyes.
"What the chief helmsman said is very true... this sword technique fights wildly and erratically like the wind, but you can see that their sudden fights and jumping back and forth seem to have nothing to do with the person holding the sword, but they themselves are being dragged by the sword. Move and move sideways, until you die!"
Daoist Wuchen stared at the weird behavior of the Japanese, and his attitude became clearer and clearer, "It's no wonder they jump left and right with their hands, and they hide their tricks and tricks—this is because we all stare at people in martial arts competitions and focus on them." Observe the shoulders, elbows, waist, knees, neck, and feet, but because of this, I did not find that all the actions of the Japanese pirates are guided by this knife!"
This kind of appalling rhetoric came from the mouth of Taoist Wuchen, which obviously violated the principles of all martial arts secret books, but Zhao Banshan felt that this theory was extremely correct in his heart, but what he couldn't figure out was that his chief helmsman After hearing this, there was no surprise on his face, but a sense of naturalness.
A cold light flashed in Chen Jialuo's eyes.
It is well known in the world that he was born in the Chen family of Haining for generations with hairpin tassels. The name of the branch is so prosperous that it is unparalleled in the country. Over the past 200 years, there have been more than a hundred Jinshi, and even ranked as ministers, ministers, governors, and envoys. In addition to the imperial examinations, the century-old family has survived the imperial examinations, as well as the heavily invested maritime business groups behind it, and the merchant ships that come and go to Japan day and night are indispensable.
In the previous generation, a talented uncle like Chen Yonghua was born, and because of his early sea experience, he met and served under the command of Yanping County King. Therefore, the Chen family is far more aware of the situation in Japan than others.
He knew that since Toyotomi Hideyoshi promulgated the Hachiman boat ban, the number of Japanese pirates on the sea has decreased dramatically. When Tokugawa Ieyasu replaced Toyotomi's family and began to rule Japan 50 years ago, he vigorously promoted the closed country, and immediately issued a very strict "" "Sealing the country order", once found to go to sea without permission, he will be executed immediately. Since then, the sea surface of the Ming Dynasty has been quiet and peaceful, and there is no news of Japanese pirates raging.
Therefore, the appearance of Japanese samurai on the scale in front of us is by no means a trivial matter as everyone thinks. Standing behind at this time is very likely to be the Tokugawa shogunate who ruled Japan, and only Tokugawa, who is the general who conquered barbarians, Only the Chuan family has the ability to send so many Japanese warriors who are elite enough to rival martial arts masters...
The reason why Chen Jialuo can recognize this extremely evil sword technique is that he has heard of the daimyo since he was a child.It is also because the time when this sword technique appeared was the time when the Anti-Japanese War was in full swing, and the witness was even the famous Qi Jiguang!
Cheng Zongyou, a Huizhou martial artist in the late Ming Dynasty, participated in the war against Japanese pirates. He mentioned an unpredictable Japanese sword method in "Single Sword Art Selection": "...its usage, jumping from side to side, is strange and secretive, and no one can do it. Therefore, long skills are often defeated by swords." You must know that jumping and deception is not the patent of Japanese pirates. No matter how secret the sword moves are, there will always be a day when they will be seen through. It is impossible to go to Jiangnan with the ability of the world's martial arts heroes at that time. I can't understand a Japanese sword technique.
But the fact lies here. He Liangchen in the Zhengde period also specifically mentioned this sword technique in the second volume of his "Zhen Ji" "Skills and Uses": "...No more than three or two strokes, often people can't resist, then The ingenuity of the sword can be known." Being able to subdue the martial arts of the Central Plains with one's own ingenuity shows that this is by no means a level of deceit that ordinary people can imagine-unless the principle contained in this sword technique is very different from ordinary martial arts, so it can be unscrupulous. The reason is not "strange deceit and secret", but "unfathomable"!
Qi Jiguang is worthy of being an outstanding figure who has studied Qin Si, great talent and general strategy. Aiming at the characteristics of Japanese pirates who are good at fighting on their own and with sharp and unpredictable long knives, he absorbed a lot of skills from hundreds of martial arts and created the "Soldiers of Right and wrong". The "Mandarin Duck Formation" method, using the collective "Qi Yong" to deal with individual Japanese pirates, finally saved the battle, and until this time, the true face of this Japanese pirate sword technique was gradually revealed.
In the 40th year of Jiajing, Qi Jiguang relied on proper command and reasonable tactics in the Battle of Taizhou, and wiped out thousands of Japanese pirates in one fell swoop. When cleaning the battlefield, he found a strange fragment of a sword manual on the corpse of a Japanese pirate. Catalog of the Hidden Stream", which depicts two weird apes holding a samurai sword and performing a series of offensive and defensive actions called "Sarutobi, Taidao Six Branches of Saruhui, Tiger Dragon, Kishimi, and Sanin".
Qi Jiguang, who is well aware of the power of Japanese swordsmanship, attaches great importance to this sword manual, because the sword manual is originally a fragment, so Qi Jiguang wrote his own experience and insights on the sword manual after practicing according to the pictures and texts, forming a "Xin You Knife Technique" was later completely included in the book "Wu Bei Zhi".
But Chen Jialuo heard from the elders in the clan that this sword technique is not so simple.When Qi Jiguang got this book, he browsed through it, and was amazed at the weird concept of using swords to control people. The so-called sword skills and sword moves are just externalized things. nuclear, strictly prohibiting sergeants from practicing.
In order to help Qi Jiguang relieve his worries, the Chen family once asked the sea merchants under his command to go to Japan to investigate, and found that the martial arts that Qi Jiguang picked up on the battlefield were not the "Yagyu Xinyin Style" and "Katori Shinto Style" that were popular in Japan at that time, but more like the original martial arts. It is an older genre.
Judging from the moves, this sword technique is likely to come from the remnants of the book "Yinliu Sword Art Graphics" written by the ancestor of Yinliu Aizhou Mikasai Hisada (1452-1538).According to legend, when he was 36 years old, in the mountains of Kitakyushu, he met a terrifying ape with white hair standing upright and waving a knife at Shanyue, using exactly this knife technique.
However, when Qi Jiguang launched the Taizhou Campaign, Aizhou Mixiangzhai had been dead for 23 years, so he could not have appeared in Zhejiang, China, and the swordsmanship he created had been lost in Japan, so who was the nameless Japanese pirate who died in battle with his only copy of the sword book? who?Why did he appear in China with a sword manual that has been lost in Japan?What exactly is the complete version of this sword manual has probably become a mystery forever.
What made Qi Jiguang uneasy was that the first batch of fifty sergeants in the Qi family's army who were secretly exposed to this sword technique all suffered from mental trance and lost control of their emotions within two months. At night, he would sleepwalk and dance with knives, almost becoming a group of ghosts wandering in the barracks.
What made the army even more uneasy was that someone reported that they had seen these sergeants who practiced the ancient Yinliu saber technique in the middle of the night. Pulling and jumping on the branches, it wants to kill the people around it, regardless of whether it is the enemy or the enemy.
There are two apes drawn in the fragments of the "Catalogue of Ancient Yin Currents", which seems to be a curse full of beastliness and uneasiness, which will make people who come into contact with it enter a strange and changeable state. Fortunately, the following A great battle annihilated these intricate stories like a spider's web, and also obliterated the traces belonging to this residual book.
In the 40th year of Jiajing (1561) (Xinyou Year), when Qi Jiguang wrote "Ji Xiao Xin Shu", he collected various martial arts of long and short soldiers, and even included the boxing method of "unpredictable skills of war". But for some reason, he neither included weapons and martial arts, nor did he mention the ferocious and acclaimed sword skills in the book.
It was not until Qi Shaobao supplemented the "New Book of Ji Xiao" in his later years that he vaguely mentioned that as early as the year of Xinyou, he obtained the "Original Japanese Long Sword" when he was fighting against the Japanese in Zhejiang. It became a spectrum of "Xinyou Sword Art".He later changed the [-] volumes of "Ji Xiao Xin Shu" into [-] volumes, and the content was deleted or added. This sword manual became one of the important contents of the income increase.
Chen Jialuo still remembers very clearly that when Chen Yonghua explained the content of "Ji Xiao's New Book" to him, he emphatically mentioned that in the process of Qi Shaobao's creation of the Xinyou sword technique, he actually received the great help of Yu Dayou. I went to the Shaolin Temple personally, and "took away some martial arts that cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth" in the back mountain Zen forest with towering ancient trees and numerous steles. thing...
"Chief Rudder, this saber technique has such a history, why hasn't it been heard of in the Central Plains for a hundred years?"
While Zhao Banshan listened carefully, he frowned and stared at the front, relying on the Tai Chi method to operate and resist the offensive, the three top masters worked together to advance slowly, but in the distance there was only Yang Chengxie who was like an iron tower and a man using Teaming up with great old men, they can withstand the offensive long-to-long.
"That's because this ancient Yin-style sword technique not only harmed the Central Plains, but also harmed the Japanese country for a long time. Oda Nobunaga once ordered the death of the daimyo who was good at it."
Chen Jialuo said with a hint of worry: "Now the first general of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, Tokugawa Ieyasu's son-in-law Matsudaira Saburo Nobuyasu, was ordered by Oda Nobunaga to commit suicide in Toe Futamata Castle because he secretly learned this sword technique. Hattori Hanzo Masashige, who was dispatched to be the intermediary, reported the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu's son, and the headless corpse froze after nightfall, waving a long knife and dancing wildly, all night long..."
"This sword technique is so evil?!"
Zhao Banshan was amazed, he couldn't imagine how martial arts can disregard life and death, making people look like this ghost.
"This incident is by no means an isolated case. It is precisely because of this that the Tokugawa family vigorously discredited the existence of this martial art, because they were worried that this martial art would harm themselves."
Chen Jialuo said slowly: "Going forward, Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandfather Matsudaira Kiyoyasu was guarding the mountain in Owari country, but he was assassinated by his retainer Abe Yashichiro with the ancient dark sword technique, and Ieyasu's father was also assassinated by the close minister Iwamatsu Yami with the ancient dark sword technique. Flow knife assassination, this knife technique is said to kill people with severed heads, although it is exaggerated, it is extremely ominous, so it has been wiped out by many parties."
After Chen Jialuo said these words, he had already caught a glimpse of the long knife in the hands of the Japanese pirates who had fallen into madness, and the inscription was engraved with the words "Shizhou Village Zheng".
Out of fear of the ancient Yin sword technique and the vigilance of some "demon swords", Tokugawa Ieyasu secretly ordered the imperial court to cut off the sword technique, and at the same time, he also ordered all countries to destroy the demon sword village. There is a connection between the Liu Dao method and the Muramasa sword, but for some reason, people who use this evil sword method often use Muramasa.
According to the investigation of the Chen family, the name of Muramasa as a knife maker officially appeared in the middle period of Muromachi, Japan, and it was used as a sword inscription for about 100 years. Obviously, it can be seen that Muramasa is not the name of a certain knife maker, but more like a certain This kind of premeditated and planned forging and deployment is only to leave traces in this turbulent historical tide, and even the waves crossed the oceans and wandered into the history of the Central Plains martial arts...
Under the reminder of Chen Jialuo, the heroes finally understood that the trick in this trip is not to kill people, but the key is to grab the knife and break the trick, and then knock the opponent down to pieces, in order to prevent the fatal blow before death.Aside from this strange martial art of using swords to defend people, the Japanese pirates' martial arts accomplishments are not as good as those of the sect leaders, and their frenzied sword skills also prevent them from fighting the enemy calmly, so the dilemma is finally loosened.
At this time, the rain was gradually weakening, and the two swordsmen and swordsmen in Baisha Lane were finally about to decide the winner. Only the man who was like gold paper was covered with scars, but Hu Yizhi, the king of Yusheng swords, only had a wound oozing blood on his face. It is obviously more successful to defend by relying on the wrapped sword.
But he didn't care about his mastery of swordsmanship, and even more gave up the intention of defense, and embarked on a dangerous and steep path.He swung his sword and slashed straight at the head. It was expected that the opponent would turn the long sword in circles after dodging away sideways, slashing across the waist, every move was murderous, leaving no way out.
Hu Yizhi's proud face showed that he couldn't bear it, he used a move of "wind and rain in all directions" to block the tip of the sword, and then used "split the flowers and blow the willows" to escape from the battle circle, but saw the opponent's long sword turned back and stabbed at his back. , Every move has sealed the door of life, and he wants to die with himself.
Seeing that the tip of the sword had reached his body, Hu Yizhi's blade had to be one step faster, and the only way to save his life was to cut off the opponent's head first, but he suddenly let go and threw the heavy knife, and stood up to block the fatal blow. On the sword, blood spewed out in an instant!
As a victory or defeat was settled, the expressions of the Japanese pirates who were at a disadvantage were about to go crazy, but the sharp swords in their hands kept cutting through the rain, fighting desperately with the heroes of the martial arts, and still causing great shock with their narrow escape. Casualties, almost everyone was injured for a while.
Knowing that time waits for no one, relying on the time seized by the masters of swords, they exhausted their ultimate moves and killed the Japanese pirate warriors. They rushed through their squirming corpses and merged into a tired and firm torrent. Go straight to a certain destined place.
"Second brother...you can't go..."
Hu Yizhi held the blade of the sword with his hand, and said pleadingly with a calm voice.He raised his hand with the sword master and wanted to penetrate the sword a little more, but found that the resistance was unusually large.Looking at the ground again, it turned out that the tip of the sword had been broken by Hu Yizhi just now. At this time, the sword without a front that had been fought for a long time had already been scarred and could not be used anymore.
The sword master looked into the distance in a daze, and he saw a group of people dressed as Japanese pirates coming out of the gate at the end of the street, and a row of black holes appeared towards them.
At this moment, another row of neat voices resounded in the short Baisha Lane Paradise Street...
…………
The flames and sudden noise rose in the distance, and spread throughout the city of Guangzhou like rolling thunder. I don't know if it was a psychological effect. Jiang Wen only felt that the ground under his feet was trembling and undulating, as if it could not bear the weight here.
He stood in the lobby of Luo Mansion again, facing Luo Yuantong who was standing alone with his hands behind his back. The two of them didn't say a word for a long time, but just listened to the voice like the sky.
The lights in Luo's mansion were brightly lit at this time, and it didn't have the appearance of ghostly shadows when the army invaded. The hall was decorated with lights and festoons, red and green, and more than a dozen round tables were also placed in the hall, as if Luo's mansion was about to enter the palace today. What kind of grand event is held, ready to welcome countless guests to join us.
But in such a festive environment, there was neither a guest sitting at the table, nor a servant serving food and wine, and only the host Luo Yuantong in brocade was left in the audience, showing a lonely appearance.
"Master Jiang, why are you back?"
A long time after hearing the sudden sound, Luo Yuantong said suddenly.
Jiang Wen looked at him with a half-smile: "I should ask senior why you didn't leave, right?"
"Hmph, why did the old man leave?"
Luo Yuantong suddenly laughed, and walked across the audience with his right hand wearing brocade gloves, "Tonight is the banquet for the heroes after the old man washes his hands in the golden basin. According to the rules of the world, everyone who comes today is a guest. Why should I be afraid?"
"Then I'm a guest too?"
Jiang Wen smiled and pointed at himself, then he naturally sat in one of the round tables, becoming the unique and solitary guest in the audience.
"That's natural. Since Sect Leader Jiang came to congratulate you today, even if I don't have a feast of food, I might as well talk about heroes with you."
Luo Yuantong looked at Jiang Wen with deep meaning, took out an unopened jar of old wine and put it on the table, took off the seal and pushed it in front of Jiang Wen, "I knew you would come back, because we are the same people. "
"That junior is disrespectful."
Jiang Wen untied the two swords on his body and put them on the table according to the rules, then unceremoniously picked up the wine jar and drank heavily, until his clothes were all wet, he didn't stop until his clothes were wet.
"Senior Luo, we had some misunderstandings earlier, how about we chat in a different way this time?"
Jiang Wen said with a bit of drunkenness, "It's too boring to pretend to be confused now. Why don't we guess what the other party wants to ask and just tell the answer directly. In this way, we won't regret if we say too much, and we won't regret if we say too little." You can't rely on it."
The two looked at each other, and they had already guessed what the other was thinking. Smart people tend to think too much and hesitate. It's better to be happy when you think and say something when you're drunk.
Luo Yuantong stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word, but he held up the wine jar with one hand and drank it. The heavy wine jar was as light as a feather in his hand.
Jiang Wen stopped talking nonsense, and told his own story without beginning or end.
"I can't trust Ying Wumou, nor can I trust his apprentice Li Xinghe. These two people are first-class liars. I have been in the rivers and lakes for so long and I have never been fooled like this. It's not because of how clever their deception is, but because of them. I never said a single truth, nor did I want to say a single truth, it was too much effort to listen."
Jiang Wen said so, but glanced at Luo Yuantong in front of him. What he said was their previous behavior of probing each other, which also made Luo Yuantong frown.
But what Luo Yuantong said was not what he most wanted to refute, and he looked straight at the Taoist in front of him.
"There are too many hypocrites in this world, and we have to guard against them. It's gratifying to be watching the tigers outside the palace now. Didn't you spend ten years pretending to be studying Buddhism, practicing Zen, and repenting with your heart, and finally deceived me and Tianran? It's useless like this People with the name of benevolence and compassion are the most dangerous, after all, you never know where and when they will draw a knife on you."
After hearing this, Jiang Wen was like a cat that stepped on its tail. At that time, he wanted to stand up and question the person opposite him. Why did he mock him so openly and secretly? The unlucky nickname "Gentlemen's Sword" was obviously given to him by force!
But after Jiang Wen suppressed his anger for a while, he continued to talk about his own topic, and did not break the rules he set.
"Ying Laodao and I entered the cave room of Nanyue Kingdom through the secret passage. Li Xinghe was also locked in it, but now I don't know how to escape. Ying Laodao said that he wanted to study the secret recipe of immortality left by Zhao Tuo, I thought. If you want to go, go back to the old hero's mansion first, and wait for him to have a clue before picking the fruit."
After Jiang Wen finished speaking, he saw Luo Yuantong's complexion changed drastically, and his reaction was exactly the same as that of Ying Wumou in the tomb of King Wen of Nanyue, as if he had thought of something terrible.
"Ahem... the secret passage in my mansion is a treasure left by any prefect in the Tang Dynasty. There used to be a gathering of nine dragons in Panyu City, but they were chiseled by Tu Sui at the order of Emperor Qin, so the dragon veins that entered the sea were Turned into a lingering dragon ghost, stirring up boiling seas from time to time to cause disaster, the town of Molongbei in my house is like the town in the ancient temple of the South China Sea, the two caves are one, so I will never be able to Walk."
The feng shui level of the Luofu town leads directly to the ancient temple in the South China Sea. This probably stems from the continuous ups and downs of the dragon veins, just like the Fengshui master Lai Buyi found the end of a dragon vein in Dayuling, Jiangxi, so he chased it all the way south and went through hardships , and finally found out that the dragon's cave is in Guangzhou.
The so-called theory of dragon veins can also be seen through satellite images. On the map, with Guangzhou as the midpoint, the Pearl River Delta rises from the sea like a red sun, and nine mountain ranges are fan-shaped around it like radial lines.These nine dragon veins jointly produced a Daming Hall. Therefore, in addition to Huashi Mountain and other places, this prosperous land has nine dragon veins formed by the aura of mountains and rivers in Guangdong Province, which reflects the wisdom of ancient ancestors in site selection.
Jiang Wen nodded silently, looking at the dark and deep sky outside the mansion.
"From the moment I stepped into the city of Guangzhou, I realized that there are too many mysteries here. The disappeared South Shaolin has not been found yet, and the dark evils of the ancient temple in the South China Sea immediately appeared. And Shang Kexi tried his best to occupy the secrets in the city. Why is Dao so troublesome, it takes time and energy to decide to snatch it, and the martial arts people don't know what they are rushing for."
Luo Yuantong looked at Jiang Wen, picked up the flagon and drank heavily, and said drunkenly after a long time.
"There are more than one secret way in the city, and Shang Kexi is worried about scaring the snakes. It takes so long to plan the story. Throughout the ages, no matter who comes into contact with this secret, their ambitions will expand infinitely. Zhao Tuo is like this, Lu Xun is like this, Li Chengdong is like this, Shang Kexi is like this, No one can be an exception, presumably only a virtuous person who is truly indifferent to fame and fortune and detached from other things will ask such a question..."
Jiang Wen suddenly laughed loudly: "Senior Luo, you broke the rules and answered my question, this is not good."
However, before Jiang Wen's laughter stopped, the grey-haired Luo Yuantong looked at him with wide eyes, and put one hand on the two swords on the table, his body soaring into the sky.
"Master Jiang, to be honest, I know who you are and why you came here!"
This sentence also confused Jiang Wen, wondering if he knew that he was a person from another world who had traveled through time, and planned to drag him into some strange club activities?
But the next moment, Luo Yuantong said coldly: "Among all people, you were the one I couldn't see through the purpose the most, but it wasn't until I saw the sword on your back that I suddenly realized why you came and why I want to get involved here with all my heart!"
Jiang Wenzheng couldn't figure it out, looked into Luo Yuantong's eyes suspiciously, and heard the other party say again.
"That's right, the 'God Elephant' and 'Crane' in Jingnan Prince's Mansion came from this old man. At the beginning, Shang Kexi wanted to take these two things from me. He only said that he wanted to take them to the overseas countryside for resettlement, but I didn't expect it to become a means of harming people after all, and I didn't expect to attract you, head Jiang, today..."
Luo Yuantong couldn't deny the answer he had been thinking about for a long time, "It will attract rhino wielders like you and me, who are rare in the world after the Wei and Jin Dynasties!"
"Senior Luo, it turns out that you...you are also a rhino wielder?!"
Luo Yuantong's voice resounded in Jiang Wen's mind like thunder, and he instantly thought of the "Tianzhu God Elephant" in the Geng's manor, which was full of fangs and bent on the plate, and the "Crane" which came and went without a shadow and howled day and night. He never thought that these two strange things would come from Luo Yuantong's house, and what he didn't expect was that the majestic and majestic old man in front of him was once a rhinoceros wandering in the strange and bizarre!
But in this way, Luo Yuantong is in charge of the secret path of the dragon veins, collects the ancient monuments of ink dragons, can still be congratulatory and respectful, knows the ancient temples of the South China Sea like the palm of his hand, and will immediately agree to join the group the moment he sees Gao Zu's snake-slaying white jade sword. There is one of the most sufficient reasons!
Jiang Wen stood up abruptly, but the look of doubt in his eyes became more intense, "Does the black circle circling outside the mansion have anything to do with you!"
"That's right, the demon disaster Hei Yao who is showing up now also ran out from this old man."
Luo Yuantong was elated, and said without hesitation, "I found the tomb of Nanxia Zhanzhao after digging through the thirteenth floor of the ancient underground city at the bottom of the Yellow River in Kaifeng together with Chen Jinnan a year ago. He chose the giant Que Jian and "Shu Kui Tu Zan Jian", and the old man took away Zhan Lu Jian, and the former Song Hei Xuan who was sealed in the stone figurine in the tomb!"
"Originally, I was trapped in the secret passage to repress Hei Hao, but it was a pity that Li Xinghe found out about the incomprehensible matter, bewitched Shang Kexi and destroyed the Dragon Town Monument of the South Sea Ancient Temple, which allowed Hei Hao to escape from it, almost lead to catastrophe..."
Jiang Wen frowned, and didn't touch the sword on the table, because he felt that Luo Yuantong's words seemed to have a grievance in his heart, but in fact he had opened his heart.
"Old hero Luo doesn't need to blame himself so much."
Jiang Wen sighed slowly, "When manpower is limited, there is no good thing in the world. I am only worried that the more things you suppress, old senior, the more frequently you will be coveted. In the end, it will be difficult to end well... "
"What's the use of getting a good death? Ever since Li Xinghe arrived, Shang Kexi has now known the old man's secret. Forcing me to retire is only the first step. The real goal is to completely snatch away these hopeless things. How can I let him Get what you want?"
Luo Yuantong suddenly laughed, with white beard and sword eyebrows in a loud voice, "The ancestor of my Luo family was originally a general under Qi Nantang's command, and the Xinyou sword technique passed down in his family also originated from Qi Gong. It is only after harming the robes that they volunteered to keep these things that should not exist in broad daylight, and now even if they are put on fire, it is not a bad thing!"
Luo Yuantong sat down slowly at this time, looked at Jiang Wen's astonished face after telling the story, and continued, "Master Jiang, although you are from the Jingnan Palace, I believe that as a rare rhinoceros wielder in the world, you must be better than me." Others are more aware of the dangers of these things, this old man thinks that it is the safest choice to entrust these things to you for safekeeping."
Jiang Wen hastily declined and said: "Old hero Luo, what are you talking about? How can I, Jiang, dare to be compared with a senior like you? Now it is just a fluke to escape from the hands of Yi Xizhi, how can I take responsibility?" Second mission!"
But Luo Yuantong didn't speak, and looked straight at the two ancient swords on the table, as if he already had an answer in his heart.
"Master Jiang, old man, I have suppressed countless things, but now there is only one most precious one. No matter how valuable the rest are, they are nothing more than scrap metal in my eyes. Today I just hope that you can go to the ancient temple in the South China Sea to see Let the calamity of the dragon ghosts there end, and my only daughter will be safe and sound."
"Why is the old hero Luo so depressed? Why don't you go out of Guangzhou City with me, where the sky is high and the sea is wide!"
Jiang Wen was puzzled.
"Shang Kexi has the chance to win this time, so naturally I won't want to see the old man leave, and I can't bear to put the safety of the people in the city at risk."
Luo Yuantong sighed, and finally took off the right hand that had been wearing the brocade glove. What was revealed was not a flesh and blood body, but a pair of lifelike copper arms and iron hands made of fine steel. Fly!
"...What's more, since the old man suffered a severed limb ten years ago, he has been unable to fight with a knife, and the secret Xinyou sword technique that requires both hands to operate will eventually be lost. If you agree to the old man's request, Zhan Lu The sword is in Wu Liuqi's hands, and it will be given to Sect Master Jiang for use in the future—this thing must be destined for you."
Jiang Wen thought for a long time, and finally stood up slowly, looked around at the empty banquet of the Luo Mansion, picked up the wine jar and drank the remaining wine, and then said firmly.
"I promise you, but you must tell me what this plan is for!"
Luo Yuantong frowned and said, "What's the use of knowing this matter? It's just some people's moths jumping into the flames, and others' mantising arms blocking cars. After all, they will end up in pieces."
"I thought so too at first, so I hid on Wuyi Mountain and didn't want to come down, but I found that some things can actually be done by human beings, but too many smart people are unwilling to do that'knowing that it can't be done. It's just people."
"Do you know you can't do it?"
Luo Yuantong laughed dumbfounded, and there was some vitality in his white-bearded face, and finally looked at Jiang Wen firmly, "Okay, I can tell you that there are two battlefields, light and dark, and you can decide where you want to go..."
After finishing an inexplicable exam, I will hurry up and update this volume (=ω)
(End of this chapter)
The Shen Dao swung up, the green blade fell, and the cold light flickered from time to time. Even with the martial arts attainments of the martial arts heroes present, they could not intervene in this terrifying decisive battle.
In the boundless rain, only two figures flashed up, the sound of swords and swords clashing with the increasingly violent rain, the fierce killing intent could be felt from far away, only saw the overlapping of swords and moves, like a giant python The golden scales whirled and squirmed, causing tons of rainwater to rain down from the sky, flooding all senses including eyes and ears, filling the slightly crowded world of Guangzhou City.
But the reason is not because the martial arts in this duel are so sublime that the clouds and dragons hide the fog without scales and claws, or that the moves are so new that they have never been seen in ancient times and are jaw-dropping.On the contrary, although the two's moves have been changed beyond recognition due to many experiences, they can still see the clues of integrating a hundred schools of thought into one, and creating a new sky with their own ingenuity.
——With just a few moves, you can still see the charm of Bagua Sword, Qiankun Sword, Taiji Sword, and Plum Blossom Sword, and you can also see the essence of Taiyi Sword, Eight Immortals Sword, Xuangong Sword, and Longhua Sword. The complicated martial arts There are so many weapons in their hands.
What is really frightening is that at this time, there are faint thunders and heavy rains between the sky and the earth, and the power of the gods has filled and occupied the boundless sky, the highest and the most mysterious void. The origin of the door, it seems that it is very familiar with the heart, and the time is not allowed to be revealed, and the mystery is so mysterious that it has taken away a trace of the charm between heaven and earth.
That's a killing intent!
The majestic terrain suddenly appeared in front of the eyes, but the two swordsmen and swords clashed to occupy the fleeing place by accident, taking away the last position on the stage of heaven and earth here, and magnified the momentum beyond moves and martial arts to the extreme. No outsider can take away the sharpness in front of you!Everyone didn't know how to describe it, but the intuition of a martial arts practitioner told them that if he broke in rashly at this time, he must be the one who died!
Standing in the heavy rain, Chen Jialuo watched the battle of beasts in the distance, and felt that there was a rush of anger in his chest, and he couldn't find a place to vent his anger, let alone like the opposite. Have to meet evenly matched opponents.
Looking around, it is not one or two people who feel like him, everyone is clearly infected by the murderous intentions of this place, the dragons and snakes rise from the land, the old man of the Qingqi Gang, and the woman is like a woman in red, who is seriously injured For example, Wen Tailai, the four masters, at this time, the courage to fight to the death, the courage of the world is born in the eyes--before this kind of peerless power of the world, only the pure and unique martial arts can be brave, and finally Work hard for a return to the courage of the mantis.
The corner of Chen Jialuo's mouth overflowed with blood, it was because he was biting his lips and tongue to maintain his inner clarity.
At this time, his thoughts were spinning, and he suddenly remembered what his uncle said before leaving the customs, which had clearly stated that there would be a "commoner clothed man" on this trip to follow the "white rainbow penetrating the sun".
Uncle said that he would be the only real assassin in the world, but now the assassin who looks like gold paper is blocked by the same high-level strong hand, barely clearing the way forward, and the assassination plan is gratifying, but he doesn't know how to proceed .
After thinking about it, Chen Jialuo didn't act rashly, but the martial arts heroes couldn't bear the killing intent surging in their hearts, got up and passed the two swordsmen who were fighting, and ran into the Japanese pirates who were ready to go.
There is no problem with such a choice, because at this time, except for the two people who are fighting decisively in front of them, everyone knows that the enemy is still lurking in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the only way to kill until the blood-stained banners and flags are sacrificed to the sky is today's decisive battle. Fighting makes sense.
Sword light and blood shadows appeared in front of my eyes, and I couldn't tell whether it was the blood of the enemy or the blood of my comrades. The roar was covered by the torrential rain, and I could only see the expression and demeanor deformed by anger, and the original martial arts abandoned. After cultivating the disguise of body and mind, it is the most naked killing intent.
Through the torrential rain, Chen Jialuo saw with his own eyes one after another Japanese pirates who were impatient because they were about to arrive, suddenly cut off a piece of flesh on his arm with a knife, and numb the extremely cold killing intent in his heart with the severe pain. Doubts intensified.
This is definitely not the state of mind that ordinary Japanese pirates can have, and the details that prove that Chen Jialuo's worries are justified soon appeared again.
I saw two palm-stretched masters strike directly with horizontal fists, their arms flattened out as if their arms had been extended two feet out of thin air, and they were heavily imprinted on the dark-colored Japanese pirates' clothes, causing the opponents to vomit blood by surprise and retreat. There is no reason for survival.
But before the violent and tyrannical palm was withdrawn, the injured Japanese pirate jumped up screaming strangely, pointed the long knife in his hand to the sky, and cut two martial arts masters in half along the shoulder to the waist!
The blood mist scattered in the fear, making the expression of the little Japanese pirate extraordinarily ferocious, but the bright silver blade shone like a full meal, and it was not stained with any color. It was a martial arts man who suffered a great loss as soon as he fought Immediately be vigilant, and turn to Taoist priest Wuchen holding a sword and Yang Chengxie holding a flagpole to meet the enemy and resist the momentum of the opponent's counter charge.
Everyone knows that the opposite is a real elite, not an ordinary Japanese warrior!
Right now, our own side has already fallen into an unexpected bitter battle, and judging from the current situation, the previous actions of Taoist priest Wuchen and the sword master are also because they have already noticed the abnormality of each other, so they take the risk. Daoist Chen went to try the move, and then let the sword master make a breakthrough.
The two seem to be hostile with each other, but in fact they have exhausted the caution of attacking later and anticipating the enemy first.
Chen Jialuo suddenly felt extremely uneasy. Some rumors that had been circulating in the family for a hundred years bothered him, and the unpredictable clues at the moment made it difficult for him to sit still. Therefore, he decided to try it out by himself, and finally, in the rainstorm He soared into the air, showing an extremely brilliant lightness kung fu foundation.
Chen Jialuo clasped his hands in his wet sleeves, like a dancing lady in white passing through flowers, but the shadow of a shadowy fist has already flashed in front of the eyes of the two pirates. At the end, they tightened together, like a tightened tendon suddenly loosened, rolling down the ten thousand forces, and suddenly turned into a fierce, unrivaled blow!
"Helmsman be careful!"
A roar sounded in the rainstorm, and Chen Jialuo realized that the Japanese pirate in front of him was not dead after being hit. He turned around forcibly while maintaining the appearance of his chest collapsing and spitting blood, and stared at Chen Jialuo with a pair of protruding dead fish eyes. , the long knife in his hand suddenly turned the edge of the knife, seeing that a fierce offensive arc was drawn down, and life and death were separated.
Chen Jialuo suddenly turned around in a critical situation, sideways to avoid this murderous slash, but another Japanese pirate had already tracked him down, and he was seen leaping forward with cunning movements, which was blocked by the light of the saber Sight, if an ordinary person encounters such a counterattack, he has already been deprived of energy and cannot fight back.
Hearing the roar, he intuited that there was another person leaping horizontally from behind him, and he leaped more than ten feet into the ground, but it seemed that he landed on both feet without any effort.There was a dull slamming sound and a painful knee creaking sound, but since the Japanese sword was five feet long, the range of swinging the sword had exceeded five feet at this time, further sealing off Chen Jialuo's escape route.
Daoist Wuchen and Zhao Banshan had precise eyesight, and they stood up together to rescue Chen Jialuo from the dangerous place after fighting twice, and even in this situation, there was still a dead Japanese pirate who pulled out a short knife from his waist, He wanted to pierce Zhao Banshan's ankle as if he was dying.
After personally experiencing the Japanese pirate's sword skills, the Chen family already knew why the martial arts heroes have profound martial arts attainments but can't make an inch of progress!
The sword techniques used by the Japanese pirates in front of them are extremely dangerous, all the swords are wrapped, the head-cutting trick is to wrap the head, the throat-cutting trick is to entangle the body, or the small arc is to cut off the wrist and arm.
"Sir, the Japanese pirates' kung fu is difficult because it changes extremely quickly. The swift and swift chops and kills are combined with the ease of advancing and retreating. It seems that the fight can no longer continue."
The three stand together and rely on each other. Zhao Banshan was born in Wenzhou Taijimen, which was the front line of Qi Shaobao's fight against the Japanese. Naturally, he has also heard stories about Japanese pirates' sword skills, so he put forward his own point of view.
"I think there is something wrong with these Japanese people, especially their kung fu."
Daoist Wuchen held the Qiushui sword in front of his body, but frowned and said, "I know that the Japanese use their swords to measure their shape when they are long, and to leap when they are short. Hidden away. But the group of people in front of them are rushing like crazy, five soldiers can't resist, and when they fight, they are full of indescribable weirdness..."
Chen Jialuo frowned when he heard this, and turned to look at Daoist Wuchen, "Daoist, the weird thing you said is that there is no 'human' in their sword skills?"
As soon as this remark came out, Taoist Priest Wu Chen, who was immersed in doubts, suddenly took a long breath of air, and looked at Chen Jialuo with disbelief in his eyes.
"What the chief helmsman said is very true... this sword technique fights wildly and erratically like the wind, but you can see that their sudden fights and jumping back and forth seem to have nothing to do with the person holding the sword, but they themselves are being dragged by the sword. Move and move sideways, until you die!"
Daoist Wuchen stared at the weird behavior of the Japanese, and his attitude became clearer and clearer, "It's no wonder they jump left and right with their hands, and they hide their tricks and tricks—this is because we all stare at people in martial arts competitions and focus on them." Observe the shoulders, elbows, waist, knees, neck, and feet, but because of this, I did not find that all the actions of the Japanese pirates are guided by this knife!"
This kind of appalling rhetoric came from the mouth of Taoist Wuchen, which obviously violated the principles of all martial arts secret books, but Zhao Banshan felt that this theory was extremely correct in his heart, but what he couldn't figure out was that his chief helmsman After hearing this, there was no surprise on his face, but a sense of naturalness.
A cold light flashed in Chen Jialuo's eyes.
It is well known in the world that he was born in the Chen family of Haining for generations with hairpin tassels. The name of the branch is so prosperous that it is unparalleled in the country. Over the past 200 years, there have been more than a hundred Jinshi, and even ranked as ministers, ministers, governors, and envoys. In addition to the imperial examinations, the century-old family has survived the imperial examinations, as well as the heavily invested maritime business groups behind it, and the merchant ships that come and go to Japan day and night are indispensable.
In the previous generation, a talented uncle like Chen Yonghua was born, and because of his early sea experience, he met and served under the command of Yanping County King. Therefore, the Chen family is far more aware of the situation in Japan than others.
He knew that since Toyotomi Hideyoshi promulgated the Hachiman boat ban, the number of Japanese pirates on the sea has decreased dramatically. When Tokugawa Ieyasu replaced Toyotomi's family and began to rule Japan 50 years ago, he vigorously promoted the closed country, and immediately issued a very strict "" "Sealing the country order", once found to go to sea without permission, he will be executed immediately. Since then, the sea surface of the Ming Dynasty has been quiet and peaceful, and there is no news of Japanese pirates raging.
Therefore, the appearance of Japanese samurai on the scale in front of us is by no means a trivial matter as everyone thinks. Standing behind at this time is very likely to be the Tokugawa shogunate who ruled Japan, and only Tokugawa, who is the general who conquered barbarians, Only the Chuan family has the ability to send so many Japanese warriors who are elite enough to rival martial arts masters...
The reason why Chen Jialuo can recognize this extremely evil sword technique is that he has heard of the daimyo since he was a child.It is also because the time when this sword technique appeared was the time when the Anti-Japanese War was in full swing, and the witness was even the famous Qi Jiguang!
Cheng Zongyou, a Huizhou martial artist in the late Ming Dynasty, participated in the war against Japanese pirates. He mentioned an unpredictable Japanese sword method in "Single Sword Art Selection": "...its usage, jumping from side to side, is strange and secretive, and no one can do it. Therefore, long skills are often defeated by swords." You must know that jumping and deception is not the patent of Japanese pirates. No matter how secret the sword moves are, there will always be a day when they will be seen through. It is impossible to go to Jiangnan with the ability of the world's martial arts heroes at that time. I can't understand a Japanese sword technique.
But the fact lies here. He Liangchen in the Zhengde period also specifically mentioned this sword technique in the second volume of his "Zhen Ji" "Skills and Uses": "...No more than three or two strokes, often people can't resist, then The ingenuity of the sword can be known." Being able to subdue the martial arts of the Central Plains with one's own ingenuity shows that this is by no means a level of deceit that ordinary people can imagine-unless the principle contained in this sword technique is very different from ordinary martial arts, so it can be unscrupulous. The reason is not "strange deceit and secret", but "unfathomable"!
Qi Jiguang is worthy of being an outstanding figure who has studied Qin Si, great talent and general strategy. Aiming at the characteristics of Japanese pirates who are good at fighting on their own and with sharp and unpredictable long knives, he absorbed a lot of skills from hundreds of martial arts and created the "Soldiers of Right and wrong". The "Mandarin Duck Formation" method, using the collective "Qi Yong" to deal with individual Japanese pirates, finally saved the battle, and until this time, the true face of this Japanese pirate sword technique was gradually revealed.
In the 40th year of Jiajing, Qi Jiguang relied on proper command and reasonable tactics in the Battle of Taizhou, and wiped out thousands of Japanese pirates in one fell swoop. When cleaning the battlefield, he found a strange fragment of a sword manual on the corpse of a Japanese pirate. Catalog of the Hidden Stream", which depicts two weird apes holding a samurai sword and performing a series of offensive and defensive actions called "Sarutobi, Taidao Six Branches of Saruhui, Tiger Dragon, Kishimi, and Sanin".
Qi Jiguang, who is well aware of the power of Japanese swordsmanship, attaches great importance to this sword manual, because the sword manual is originally a fragment, so Qi Jiguang wrote his own experience and insights on the sword manual after practicing according to the pictures and texts, forming a "Xin You Knife Technique" was later completely included in the book "Wu Bei Zhi".
But Chen Jialuo heard from the elders in the clan that this sword technique is not so simple.When Qi Jiguang got this book, he browsed through it, and was amazed at the weird concept of using swords to control people. The so-called sword skills and sword moves are just externalized things. nuclear, strictly prohibiting sergeants from practicing.
In order to help Qi Jiguang relieve his worries, the Chen family once asked the sea merchants under his command to go to Japan to investigate, and found that the martial arts that Qi Jiguang picked up on the battlefield were not the "Yagyu Xinyin Style" and "Katori Shinto Style" that were popular in Japan at that time, but more like the original martial arts. It is an older genre.
Judging from the moves, this sword technique is likely to come from the remnants of the book "Yinliu Sword Art Graphics" written by the ancestor of Yinliu Aizhou Mikasai Hisada (1452-1538).According to legend, when he was 36 years old, in the mountains of Kitakyushu, he met a terrifying ape with white hair standing upright and waving a knife at Shanyue, using exactly this knife technique.
However, when Qi Jiguang launched the Taizhou Campaign, Aizhou Mixiangzhai had been dead for 23 years, so he could not have appeared in Zhejiang, China, and the swordsmanship he created had been lost in Japan, so who was the nameless Japanese pirate who died in battle with his only copy of the sword book? who?Why did he appear in China with a sword manual that has been lost in Japan?What exactly is the complete version of this sword manual has probably become a mystery forever.
What made Qi Jiguang uneasy was that the first batch of fifty sergeants in the Qi family's army who were secretly exposed to this sword technique all suffered from mental trance and lost control of their emotions within two months. At night, he would sleepwalk and dance with knives, almost becoming a group of ghosts wandering in the barracks.
What made the army even more uneasy was that someone reported that they had seen these sergeants who practiced the ancient Yinliu saber technique in the middle of the night. Pulling and jumping on the branches, it wants to kill the people around it, regardless of whether it is the enemy or the enemy.
There are two apes drawn in the fragments of the "Catalogue of Ancient Yin Currents", which seems to be a curse full of beastliness and uneasiness, which will make people who come into contact with it enter a strange and changeable state. Fortunately, the following A great battle annihilated these intricate stories like a spider's web, and also obliterated the traces belonging to this residual book.
In the 40th year of Jiajing (1561) (Xinyou Year), when Qi Jiguang wrote "Ji Xiao Xin Shu", he collected various martial arts of long and short soldiers, and even included the boxing method of "unpredictable skills of war". But for some reason, he neither included weapons and martial arts, nor did he mention the ferocious and acclaimed sword skills in the book.
It was not until Qi Shaobao supplemented the "New Book of Ji Xiao" in his later years that he vaguely mentioned that as early as the year of Xinyou, he obtained the "Original Japanese Long Sword" when he was fighting against the Japanese in Zhejiang. It became a spectrum of "Xinyou Sword Art".He later changed the [-] volumes of "Ji Xiao Xin Shu" into [-] volumes, and the content was deleted or added. This sword manual became one of the important contents of the income increase.
Chen Jialuo still remembers very clearly that when Chen Yonghua explained the content of "Ji Xiao's New Book" to him, he emphatically mentioned that in the process of Qi Shaobao's creation of the Xinyou sword technique, he actually received the great help of Yu Dayou. I went to the Shaolin Temple personally, and "took away some martial arts that cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth" in the back mountain Zen forest with towering ancient trees and numerous steles. thing...
"Chief Rudder, this saber technique has such a history, why hasn't it been heard of in the Central Plains for a hundred years?"
While Zhao Banshan listened carefully, he frowned and stared at the front, relying on the Tai Chi method to operate and resist the offensive, the three top masters worked together to advance slowly, but in the distance there was only Yang Chengxie who was like an iron tower and a man using Teaming up with great old men, they can withstand the offensive long-to-long.
"That's because this ancient Yin-style sword technique not only harmed the Central Plains, but also harmed the Japanese country for a long time. Oda Nobunaga once ordered the death of the daimyo who was good at it."
Chen Jialuo said with a hint of worry: "Now the first general of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, Tokugawa Ieyasu's son-in-law Matsudaira Saburo Nobuyasu, was ordered by Oda Nobunaga to commit suicide in Toe Futamata Castle because he secretly learned this sword technique. Hattori Hanzo Masashige, who was dispatched to be the intermediary, reported the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu's son, and the headless corpse froze after nightfall, waving a long knife and dancing wildly, all night long..."
"This sword technique is so evil?!"
Zhao Banshan was amazed, he couldn't imagine how martial arts can disregard life and death, making people look like this ghost.
"This incident is by no means an isolated case. It is precisely because of this that the Tokugawa family vigorously discredited the existence of this martial art, because they were worried that this martial art would harm themselves."
Chen Jialuo said slowly: "Going forward, Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandfather Matsudaira Kiyoyasu was guarding the mountain in Owari country, but he was assassinated by his retainer Abe Yashichiro with the ancient dark sword technique, and Ieyasu's father was also assassinated by the close minister Iwamatsu Yami with the ancient dark sword technique. Flow knife assassination, this knife technique is said to kill people with severed heads, although it is exaggerated, it is extremely ominous, so it has been wiped out by many parties."
After Chen Jialuo said these words, he had already caught a glimpse of the long knife in the hands of the Japanese pirates who had fallen into madness, and the inscription was engraved with the words "Shizhou Village Zheng".
Out of fear of the ancient Yin sword technique and the vigilance of some "demon swords", Tokugawa Ieyasu secretly ordered the imperial court to cut off the sword technique, and at the same time, he also ordered all countries to destroy the demon sword village. There is a connection between the Liu Dao method and the Muramasa sword, but for some reason, people who use this evil sword method often use Muramasa.
According to the investigation of the Chen family, the name of Muramasa as a knife maker officially appeared in the middle period of Muromachi, Japan, and it was used as a sword inscription for about 100 years. Obviously, it can be seen that Muramasa is not the name of a certain knife maker, but more like a certain This kind of premeditated and planned forging and deployment is only to leave traces in this turbulent historical tide, and even the waves crossed the oceans and wandered into the history of the Central Plains martial arts...
Under the reminder of Chen Jialuo, the heroes finally understood that the trick in this trip is not to kill people, but the key is to grab the knife and break the trick, and then knock the opponent down to pieces, in order to prevent the fatal blow before death.Aside from this strange martial art of using swords to defend people, the Japanese pirates' martial arts accomplishments are not as good as those of the sect leaders, and their frenzied sword skills also prevent them from fighting the enemy calmly, so the dilemma is finally loosened.
At this time, the rain was gradually weakening, and the two swordsmen and swordsmen in Baisha Lane were finally about to decide the winner. Only the man who was like gold paper was covered with scars, but Hu Yizhi, the king of Yusheng swords, only had a wound oozing blood on his face. It is obviously more successful to defend by relying on the wrapped sword.
But he didn't care about his mastery of swordsmanship, and even more gave up the intention of defense, and embarked on a dangerous and steep path.He swung his sword and slashed straight at the head. It was expected that the opponent would turn the long sword in circles after dodging away sideways, slashing across the waist, every move was murderous, leaving no way out.
Hu Yizhi's proud face showed that he couldn't bear it, he used a move of "wind and rain in all directions" to block the tip of the sword, and then used "split the flowers and blow the willows" to escape from the battle circle, but saw the opponent's long sword turned back and stabbed at his back. , Every move has sealed the door of life, and he wants to die with himself.
Seeing that the tip of the sword had reached his body, Hu Yizhi's blade had to be one step faster, and the only way to save his life was to cut off the opponent's head first, but he suddenly let go and threw the heavy knife, and stood up to block the fatal blow. On the sword, blood spewed out in an instant!
As a victory or defeat was settled, the expressions of the Japanese pirates who were at a disadvantage were about to go crazy, but the sharp swords in their hands kept cutting through the rain, fighting desperately with the heroes of the martial arts, and still causing great shock with their narrow escape. Casualties, almost everyone was injured for a while.
Knowing that time waits for no one, relying on the time seized by the masters of swords, they exhausted their ultimate moves and killed the Japanese pirate warriors. They rushed through their squirming corpses and merged into a tired and firm torrent. Go straight to a certain destined place.
"Second brother...you can't go..."
Hu Yizhi held the blade of the sword with his hand, and said pleadingly with a calm voice.He raised his hand with the sword master and wanted to penetrate the sword a little more, but found that the resistance was unusually large.Looking at the ground again, it turned out that the tip of the sword had been broken by Hu Yizhi just now. At this time, the sword without a front that had been fought for a long time had already been scarred and could not be used anymore.
The sword master looked into the distance in a daze, and he saw a group of people dressed as Japanese pirates coming out of the gate at the end of the street, and a row of black holes appeared towards them.
At this moment, another row of neat voices resounded in the short Baisha Lane Paradise Street...
…………
The flames and sudden noise rose in the distance, and spread throughout the city of Guangzhou like rolling thunder. I don't know if it was a psychological effect. Jiang Wen only felt that the ground under his feet was trembling and undulating, as if it could not bear the weight here.
He stood in the lobby of Luo Mansion again, facing Luo Yuantong who was standing alone with his hands behind his back. The two of them didn't say a word for a long time, but just listened to the voice like the sky.
The lights in Luo's mansion were brightly lit at this time, and it didn't have the appearance of ghostly shadows when the army invaded. The hall was decorated with lights and festoons, red and green, and more than a dozen round tables were also placed in the hall, as if Luo's mansion was about to enter the palace today. What kind of grand event is held, ready to welcome countless guests to join us.
But in such a festive environment, there was neither a guest sitting at the table, nor a servant serving food and wine, and only the host Luo Yuantong in brocade was left in the audience, showing a lonely appearance.
"Master Jiang, why are you back?"
A long time after hearing the sudden sound, Luo Yuantong said suddenly.
Jiang Wen looked at him with a half-smile: "I should ask senior why you didn't leave, right?"
"Hmph, why did the old man leave?"
Luo Yuantong suddenly laughed, and walked across the audience with his right hand wearing brocade gloves, "Tonight is the banquet for the heroes after the old man washes his hands in the golden basin. According to the rules of the world, everyone who comes today is a guest. Why should I be afraid?"
"Then I'm a guest too?"
Jiang Wen smiled and pointed at himself, then he naturally sat in one of the round tables, becoming the unique and solitary guest in the audience.
"That's natural. Since Sect Leader Jiang came to congratulate you today, even if I don't have a feast of food, I might as well talk about heroes with you."
Luo Yuantong looked at Jiang Wen with deep meaning, took out an unopened jar of old wine and put it on the table, took off the seal and pushed it in front of Jiang Wen, "I knew you would come back, because we are the same people. "
"That junior is disrespectful."
Jiang Wen untied the two swords on his body and put them on the table according to the rules, then unceremoniously picked up the wine jar and drank heavily, until his clothes were all wet, he didn't stop until his clothes were wet.
"Senior Luo, we had some misunderstandings earlier, how about we chat in a different way this time?"
Jiang Wen said with a bit of drunkenness, "It's too boring to pretend to be confused now. Why don't we guess what the other party wants to ask and just tell the answer directly. In this way, we won't regret if we say too much, and we won't regret if we say too little." You can't rely on it."
The two looked at each other, and they had already guessed what the other was thinking. Smart people tend to think too much and hesitate. It's better to be happy when you think and say something when you're drunk.
Luo Yuantong stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word, but he held up the wine jar with one hand and drank it. The heavy wine jar was as light as a feather in his hand.
Jiang Wen stopped talking nonsense, and told his own story without beginning or end.
"I can't trust Ying Wumou, nor can I trust his apprentice Li Xinghe. These two people are first-class liars. I have been in the rivers and lakes for so long and I have never been fooled like this. It's not because of how clever their deception is, but because of them. I never said a single truth, nor did I want to say a single truth, it was too much effort to listen."
Jiang Wen said so, but glanced at Luo Yuantong in front of him. What he said was their previous behavior of probing each other, which also made Luo Yuantong frown.
But what Luo Yuantong said was not what he most wanted to refute, and he looked straight at the Taoist in front of him.
"There are too many hypocrites in this world, and we have to guard against them. It's gratifying to be watching the tigers outside the palace now. Didn't you spend ten years pretending to be studying Buddhism, practicing Zen, and repenting with your heart, and finally deceived me and Tianran? It's useless like this People with the name of benevolence and compassion are the most dangerous, after all, you never know where and when they will draw a knife on you."
After hearing this, Jiang Wen was like a cat that stepped on its tail. At that time, he wanted to stand up and question the person opposite him. Why did he mock him so openly and secretly? The unlucky nickname "Gentlemen's Sword" was obviously given to him by force!
But after Jiang Wen suppressed his anger for a while, he continued to talk about his own topic, and did not break the rules he set.
"Ying Laodao and I entered the cave room of Nanyue Kingdom through the secret passage. Li Xinghe was also locked in it, but now I don't know how to escape. Ying Laodao said that he wanted to study the secret recipe of immortality left by Zhao Tuo, I thought. If you want to go, go back to the old hero's mansion first, and wait for him to have a clue before picking the fruit."
After Jiang Wen finished speaking, he saw Luo Yuantong's complexion changed drastically, and his reaction was exactly the same as that of Ying Wumou in the tomb of King Wen of Nanyue, as if he had thought of something terrible.
"Ahem... the secret passage in my mansion is a treasure left by any prefect in the Tang Dynasty. There used to be a gathering of nine dragons in Panyu City, but they were chiseled by Tu Sui at the order of Emperor Qin, so the dragon veins that entered the sea were Turned into a lingering dragon ghost, stirring up boiling seas from time to time to cause disaster, the town of Molongbei in my house is like the town in the ancient temple of the South China Sea, the two caves are one, so I will never be able to Walk."
The feng shui level of the Luofu town leads directly to the ancient temple in the South China Sea. This probably stems from the continuous ups and downs of the dragon veins, just like the Fengshui master Lai Buyi found the end of a dragon vein in Dayuling, Jiangxi, so he chased it all the way south and went through hardships , and finally found out that the dragon's cave is in Guangzhou.
The so-called theory of dragon veins can also be seen through satellite images. On the map, with Guangzhou as the midpoint, the Pearl River Delta rises from the sea like a red sun, and nine mountain ranges are fan-shaped around it like radial lines.These nine dragon veins jointly produced a Daming Hall. Therefore, in addition to Huashi Mountain and other places, this prosperous land has nine dragon veins formed by the aura of mountains and rivers in Guangdong Province, which reflects the wisdom of ancient ancestors in site selection.
Jiang Wen nodded silently, looking at the dark and deep sky outside the mansion.
"From the moment I stepped into the city of Guangzhou, I realized that there are too many mysteries here. The disappeared South Shaolin has not been found yet, and the dark evils of the ancient temple in the South China Sea immediately appeared. And Shang Kexi tried his best to occupy the secrets in the city. Why is Dao so troublesome, it takes time and energy to decide to snatch it, and the martial arts people don't know what they are rushing for."
Luo Yuantong looked at Jiang Wen, picked up the flagon and drank heavily, and said drunkenly after a long time.
"There are more than one secret way in the city, and Shang Kexi is worried about scaring the snakes. It takes so long to plan the story. Throughout the ages, no matter who comes into contact with this secret, their ambitions will expand infinitely. Zhao Tuo is like this, Lu Xun is like this, Li Chengdong is like this, Shang Kexi is like this, No one can be an exception, presumably only a virtuous person who is truly indifferent to fame and fortune and detached from other things will ask such a question..."
Jiang Wen suddenly laughed loudly: "Senior Luo, you broke the rules and answered my question, this is not good."
However, before Jiang Wen's laughter stopped, the grey-haired Luo Yuantong looked at him with wide eyes, and put one hand on the two swords on the table, his body soaring into the sky.
"Master Jiang, to be honest, I know who you are and why you came here!"
This sentence also confused Jiang Wen, wondering if he knew that he was a person from another world who had traveled through time, and planned to drag him into some strange club activities?
But the next moment, Luo Yuantong said coldly: "Among all people, you were the one I couldn't see through the purpose the most, but it wasn't until I saw the sword on your back that I suddenly realized why you came and why I want to get involved here with all my heart!"
Jiang Wenzheng couldn't figure it out, looked into Luo Yuantong's eyes suspiciously, and heard the other party say again.
"That's right, the 'God Elephant' and 'Crane' in Jingnan Prince's Mansion came from this old man. At the beginning, Shang Kexi wanted to take these two things from me. He only said that he wanted to take them to the overseas countryside for resettlement, but I didn't expect it to become a means of harming people after all, and I didn't expect to attract you, head Jiang, today..."
Luo Yuantong couldn't deny the answer he had been thinking about for a long time, "It will attract rhino wielders like you and me, who are rare in the world after the Wei and Jin Dynasties!"
"Senior Luo, it turns out that you...you are also a rhino wielder?!"
Luo Yuantong's voice resounded in Jiang Wen's mind like thunder, and he instantly thought of the "Tianzhu God Elephant" in the Geng's manor, which was full of fangs and bent on the plate, and the "Crane" which came and went without a shadow and howled day and night. He never thought that these two strange things would come from Luo Yuantong's house, and what he didn't expect was that the majestic and majestic old man in front of him was once a rhinoceros wandering in the strange and bizarre!
But in this way, Luo Yuantong is in charge of the secret path of the dragon veins, collects the ancient monuments of ink dragons, can still be congratulatory and respectful, knows the ancient temples of the South China Sea like the palm of his hand, and will immediately agree to join the group the moment he sees Gao Zu's snake-slaying white jade sword. There is one of the most sufficient reasons!
Jiang Wen stood up abruptly, but the look of doubt in his eyes became more intense, "Does the black circle circling outside the mansion have anything to do with you!"
"That's right, the demon disaster Hei Yao who is showing up now also ran out from this old man."
Luo Yuantong was elated, and said without hesitation, "I found the tomb of Nanxia Zhanzhao after digging through the thirteenth floor of the ancient underground city at the bottom of the Yellow River in Kaifeng together with Chen Jinnan a year ago. He chose the giant Que Jian and "Shu Kui Tu Zan Jian", and the old man took away Zhan Lu Jian, and the former Song Hei Xuan who was sealed in the stone figurine in the tomb!"
"Originally, I was trapped in the secret passage to repress Hei Hao, but it was a pity that Li Xinghe found out about the incomprehensible matter, bewitched Shang Kexi and destroyed the Dragon Town Monument of the South Sea Ancient Temple, which allowed Hei Hao to escape from it, almost lead to catastrophe..."
Jiang Wen frowned, and didn't touch the sword on the table, because he felt that Luo Yuantong's words seemed to have a grievance in his heart, but in fact he had opened his heart.
"Old hero Luo doesn't need to blame himself so much."
Jiang Wen sighed slowly, "When manpower is limited, there is no good thing in the world. I am only worried that the more things you suppress, old senior, the more frequently you will be coveted. In the end, it will be difficult to end well... "
"What's the use of getting a good death? Ever since Li Xinghe arrived, Shang Kexi has now known the old man's secret. Forcing me to retire is only the first step. The real goal is to completely snatch away these hopeless things. How can I let him Get what you want?"
Luo Yuantong suddenly laughed, with white beard and sword eyebrows in a loud voice, "The ancestor of my Luo family was originally a general under Qi Nantang's command, and the Xinyou sword technique passed down in his family also originated from Qi Gong. It is only after harming the robes that they volunteered to keep these things that should not exist in broad daylight, and now even if they are put on fire, it is not a bad thing!"
Luo Yuantong sat down slowly at this time, looked at Jiang Wen's astonished face after telling the story, and continued, "Master Jiang, although you are from the Jingnan Palace, I believe that as a rare rhinoceros wielder in the world, you must be better than me." Others are more aware of the dangers of these things, this old man thinks that it is the safest choice to entrust these things to you for safekeeping."
Jiang Wen hastily declined and said: "Old hero Luo, what are you talking about? How can I, Jiang, dare to be compared with a senior like you? Now it is just a fluke to escape from the hands of Yi Xizhi, how can I take responsibility?" Second mission!"
But Luo Yuantong didn't speak, and looked straight at the two ancient swords on the table, as if he already had an answer in his heart.
"Master Jiang, old man, I have suppressed countless things, but now there is only one most precious one. No matter how valuable the rest are, they are nothing more than scrap metal in my eyes. Today I just hope that you can go to the ancient temple in the South China Sea to see Let the calamity of the dragon ghosts there end, and my only daughter will be safe and sound."
"Why is the old hero Luo so depressed? Why don't you go out of Guangzhou City with me, where the sky is high and the sea is wide!"
Jiang Wen was puzzled.
"Shang Kexi has the chance to win this time, so naturally I won't want to see the old man leave, and I can't bear to put the safety of the people in the city at risk."
Luo Yuantong sighed, and finally took off the right hand that had been wearing the brocade glove. What was revealed was not a flesh and blood body, but a pair of lifelike copper arms and iron hands made of fine steel. Fly!
"...What's more, since the old man suffered a severed limb ten years ago, he has been unable to fight with a knife, and the secret Xinyou sword technique that requires both hands to operate will eventually be lost. If you agree to the old man's request, Zhan Lu The sword is in Wu Liuqi's hands, and it will be given to Sect Master Jiang for use in the future—this thing must be destined for you."
Jiang Wen thought for a long time, and finally stood up slowly, looked around at the empty banquet of the Luo Mansion, picked up the wine jar and drank the remaining wine, and then said firmly.
"I promise you, but you must tell me what this plan is for!"
Luo Yuantong frowned and said, "What's the use of knowing this matter? It's just some people's moths jumping into the flames, and others' mantising arms blocking cars. After all, they will end up in pieces."
"I thought so too at first, so I hid on Wuyi Mountain and didn't want to come down, but I found that some things can actually be done by human beings, but too many smart people are unwilling to do that'knowing that it can't be done. It's just people."
"Do you know you can't do it?"
Luo Yuantong laughed dumbfounded, and there was some vitality in his white-bearded face, and finally looked at Jiang Wen firmly, "Okay, I can tell you that there are two battlefields, light and dark, and you can decide where you want to go..."
After finishing an inexplicable exam, I will hurry up and update this volume (=ω)
