I hang up and lie flat in the world of martial arts

Chapter 87 The Land of Fallen Dragons
It's getting dark.

Qi Xuan's boat stopped in the middle of the river.

Inside the cabin, Wang Renzheng, the deputy chief escort, said to Qixuan, "Mr. Qi, the boats of the Dajiang Gang have sealed off the river. I'm afraid it's... difficult to leave today."

Two giant warships lay across the river, and small fishing boats could barely pass through, but such a big boat like Qi Xuan's was unable to pass.

"But please don't worry, Mr. Qi. The friends in the Dajiang Gang said that they will only seal it for a day or two, and they will open the way when the matter is settled." Seeing that Qi Xuan did not respond, Wang Ren continued.

With martial arts alone, Wang Ren and several bodyguards were tied together, and they still couldn't hear it in the rivers and lakes.

But walking darts is a way of life.

As the deputy head of the Changfeng Escort Bureau, Wang Ren has friends all over the world, from all religions and schools, and it is not surprising to have a friend in the Dajiang Gang.

things done...

Qi Xuan immediately thought of Tie Feiying and his son.

Speaking of which, I had been entertained by their father and son before going up the mountain with Song Heyang.

Now that something happened to the other party, because of emotion and reason, it seems that I should also help.

but……

After careful calculation, the Dajiang Gang raided and wiped out the head of the Tianying Gang three days ago.

Afterwards, whether it was to wipe out the remnants of the Tianying Gang or to wipe out other Jianghu forces in the Longjiang Mansion, the Dajiang Gang acted with great fanfare.

It stands to reason that Shangqingguan should have received the news.

Qi Xuan even boldly speculated that, before he went down the mountain, the senior officials of Shangqingguan, such as Meng Yafeng, probably knew what happened in Longjiang Mansion.

Stay out of the matter, or do you want me to take action?
No matter what Shangqingguan's plan is, since they are indifferent, it is naturally impossible for Qi Xuan to take the initiative to cause trouble.

If there is a chance to save the lives of Tie Feiying and his son, it's okay.

It's impossible for him to help the Tianying Gang deal with the Dajiang Gang.

……

Seeing that Qi Xuan did not speak, Wang Ren felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, he was worried that his employer was an ignorant person.

"It's okay." Qi Xuan said with a sudden smile, "I'm not in a hurry, I just need to wait for a few more days."

Hearing this, Wang Ren couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, his originally tense expression instantly melted away, and after thinking about it, he smiled and suggested, "In that case, we might as well dock at the Longchuan County Wharf ahead."

"Since Mr. Qi wants to travel to the mountains and rivers, there is a pit of falling into the dragon in Longshou County. It is worth visiting, Mr. Qi and his wife."

Longchuan County and Longjiang Mansion face each other across the river.

"Longchuan, dragon head, falling into the dragon pit..." Qi Xuan muttered in a low voice.

It is inseparable from a dragon character.

Qi Xuan couldn't help laughing and asked: "Could there be a dragon here?"

Ziyun heard the words, and softly echoed: "Young master is not wrong. It is rumored that there was a dragon in this place, so it was called Longjiang, Longchuan by later generations."

"As for the dragon pit..."

"Dragon Falling Pit is the place where the dragon is born." Wang Ren said, "There is still a dragon bone there."

There really are no dragons!

Qi Xuan couldn't help showing a surprised expression when he heard the words.

……

Shangqing Temple, Sanqing Hall.

Meng Yafeng, who was wearing a purple Taoist robe, was concentrating on looking at the letter in his hand, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and immediately raised his head to see Song Heyang who hurried in.

"Little Uncle." Meng Yafeng folded the letter in his hand, saw the burnt look on Song Heyang's face, and smiled immediately: "I'm worried about the father and son of the Iron Gang Master in Longjiang Mansion."

"Ya... the head." Song Heyang frowned, "The Dajiang gang is ambitious, do we really want to sit back and watch them annex the Tianying gang?"

"Today is different from the past." Meng Yafeng said quietly, "The old man is dead, and no one inside the Tang Sect can stop Tang Tianque from entering the Central Plains. The first stepping stone."

"But..." Song Heyang wanted to say something more, but just after he said those two words, the expression on his face changed slightly, and then he took back the rest of the words in his heart.

He had already learned from his senior brother Zhang Heming that Tang Tianque had seen the sun again and that the five elders of the Tang clan were buried at the bottom of the cold cave.

With a little thought, you can understand Meng Yafeng's painstaking efforts.

But his best friend was facing a desperate situation, but he was unable to sell and help, Song Heyang felt very uncomfortable.

However, Zhang Heming had already explained to the elders that the disciples under his sect should be restrained. Before Hua Pingfeng left the pass, the Shangqing Temple should not be involved in any disputes between the rivers and lakes, especially those involving the Tang Sect.

The struggling look on Song Heyang's face was already seen by Meng Yafeng, she immediately smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, little uncle, the father and son of Iron Gang Master are fine."

"But I heard that the Dajiang Gang has captured Tie Feiying."

"I already know about this." Meng Yafeng smiled lightly, and immediately handed the letter in his hand to Song Heyang.

"This is a letter from the leader of the Dajiang Gang, Song Wancheng."

"He said in his letter that Tie Feiying is a guest on the boat of the Dajiang Gang, and he will pay a visit in person in the near future."

"He's trying to test our Shangqingguan's attitude?" Song Heyang quickly read the contents of the letter, and then his face sank, already seeing Song Wancheng's purpose.

Meng Yafeng nodded, and said solemnly: "If we Shangqingguan really intentionally intervene in the battle between the Tianying Gang and the Dajiang Gang, I'm afraid the situation of the father and son of the Iron Gang will be even more dangerous."

"But if you let it go like this, wouldn't you just sit back and watch their father and son be..."

"Don't worry, little uncle." Meng Yafeng seemed confident, "The more we stand still, the safer Tie Feiying and his son will be."

"However... if there is one person who is willing to take action." Seeing Song Heyang's scorched face, Meng Yafeng suddenly had an idea, "The lives of Tie Feiying and his son will definitely be saved!"

"Who?" Song Heyang asked hurriedly!
……

……

The next day, Longshou County.

He was aroused by the appearance of the dragon yesterday, so after Qi Xuan got up, he took Ziyun ashore and headed for the legendary Dragon Falling Pit.

When I arrived, I found that there was a temple in front of me.

"Dragon Bone Temple" is written on the plaque at the gate of the temple.

The front of the temple is very cold, except for two who sell food and one who buys calligraphy and painting, there is not even a tourist.

Qi Xuan couldn't help looking suspiciously at Wang Ren behind him.

Is this the dragon-falling pit you mentioned where the dragon descended into the world?
"Young Master, don't panic, the keel is inside the temple." Wang Ren looked slightly embarrassed, and quickly explained: "The local people enshrined the keel, and over time, such a temple was formed."

The temple does not enshrine the Buddha, so naturally there are no monks.

A man in a thick cotton coat at the door had already spotted Qi Xuan and his party.

Especially after seeing Qi Xuan and Ziyun's well-dressed clothes, outstanding appearance and temperament, and they looked very unfamiliar.

The man's eyes immediately rolled around, his face was filled with a smile, and he took the initiative to talk to him with cheerful steps: "Young master, are you here to worship the keel?"

Seeing the man who suddenly appeared with a sly smile on his face, Qi Xuan smiled slightly, and signaled with his hand to Wang Ren, who was about to go forward to drive him away, to step back temporarily, and then nodded.

Seeing Qi Xuan nodding his head, the man sniffed sharply, and his face burst into a smile, "I am the temple wisher here, and each person can go in and worship the keel for only ten renminbi, which is amazing!"

"Ten coins...not expensive!" Qi Xuan said with a smile on his face.

"Bah!" As soon as the words fell, the literati who bought calligraphy and paintings not far away stood up and cursed: "Spiritual fart!"

"Young master, don't be fooled by Zhu Laoer. What kind of dragon bone temple, there is clearly a pair of fish bones inside!"

Being scolded like this, the man who claimed to be Miao Zhu immediately shrank his neck, didn't dare to look directly at Qi Xuan, and said dejectedly: "Don't believe him, five cents, you can go in for five cents..."

Before he finished speaking, the man saw a silver coin appearing in front of him.

Tremblingly, he stretched out his hand to take the money. The man seemed to be dreaming. When he came back to his senses, he found that Qi Xuan and his party had already entered the temple gate.

The literati who sold calligraphy and painting looked at the silver in Mr. Zhu's second-hand hands and their eyes turned red.

……

Sure enough, the main hall of the temple enshrines a huge and ferocious skull.
But after just a few more glances, Qi Xuan already saw that the skull was not a keel.

It should be spliced ​​with the bones of big fish and the bones of other animals.

The sharp teeth clearly show traces of grinding.

Moreover, the bones used to serve as teeth are not the same kind of bone.

The falsification is too careless.

No wonder there are no tourists.

……

"what?"

Qi Xuan suddenly looked sideways, and then frowned tightly.

"My lord..." Just as Ziyun turned her head in disappointment, she found that Qi Xuan had already walked out of the side door of the main hall...

Coming out of the side door, there is a barren flat land, the soil is charred black as if it had been scorched by a raging fire.

Once out of the side door, what Qi Xuan saw was an equally pitch-black tree with a crooked neck, which seemed to have lost its vitality, and its branches fell to the ground feebly.

And in front of the crooked neck, stood a hunched body, which seemed to be crumbling in the cold wind...

Only Qi Xuan can feel it.

The suffocating heat fluctuates around this person.

As if aware of someone approaching, the bent body slowly turned.

A slightly vicissitudes of the face, a scar at the corner of the brow, adding a bit of harshness.

A trace of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and then he slowly said, "Who are you?"

Different from the majestic zhenqi he exuded, the voice and tone of this person's speech was like that of an old man who was dying.

"Same as you." Qi Xuan replied helplessly, "I was tricked by the temple outside, and came in to worship a dragon head bone made up of fish bones, pig bones, and maybe dog bones. "

"The pile of messy things in the hall," the vicissitudes of the man's eyes showed approval, "it's really not worth ten cents."

"That's okay!" Qi Xuan laughed immediately, "He only charges me five cents per person."

man:……

"But I gave him five taels of silver." Qi Xuan said again.

Man: "Then you must be a big fool."

"I'm rich, but I'm not stupid." Qi Xuan shook his head and said seriously: "Have you noticed that Miao Zhu's clothes?"

Seeing that there was no response from the other party, Qi Xuan continued: "Although Miaozhu's clothes are a bit worn out, they are very clean and the patches are neatly patched. I think there must be a woman in the house to take care of them."

"There is a piece of wooden stick exposed from the cuff, and it should be a stick for stringing candied haws."

"The face is disheveled, always swallowing saliva."

"When talking to me, my eyes can't help but flick to the steamed stuffed bun."

……

"To sum it up in one sentence." Qi Xuan said slowly: "The rotten bones in the temple are not even worth five taels of silver, but his family probably needs the five taels of silver this winter."

Hearing the words, the man fell into a brief silence, then raised his head, stared at Qi Xuan and said seriously: "You observe carefully, and you are a good person."

"I've always thought so." Qi Xuan couldn't help grinning when he heard the words: "There are not many young people in this world who are kind-hearted and have outstanding looks like me."

The man's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and he said immediately: "You are also very shameless."

……

"Son!"

"Master!"

Suddenly, two voices came from two directions.

Qi Xuan and the man looked back at the same time.

Qi Xuan saw Ziyun standing by the side door, and then turned around, and saw a head protruding from the wall directly opposite.

"Wu Dalang?" Qi Xuan recognized the head on the wall at a glance.

"Qi...Qi..." Seeing someone calling his name, Wu Dalang, who was still chewing the buns in his mouth, was taken aback for a moment, and then saw Qi Xuan's familiar face.

"Qi Xuan!" After a while, Wu Dalang finally matched his name with his face, and immediately jumped into the wall excitedly, holding a greased paper bag in each hand.

"Master, freshly steamed meat buns." Wu Dalang first handed one of the oiled paper bags to the man in front of the tree, then scratched the back of his head, came to Qi Xuan, and handed out another oiled paper bag.

"Qi Xuan, do you want to eat buns?"

Qi Xuan shook his head.

Wu Dalang, who had a sore face, instantly burst into a smile, happily opened the oiled paper bag, took out a bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

"This is your master?" Qi Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked Wu Dalang who was devouring it.

"Ah."

Sanchuan Shenlong, Fang Xiao!
No wonder, the zhenqi on his body is so tyrannical.

20 years ago, this was a top master who was as famous as Tang Tianque and Zhang Heming.

"Young master." Ziyun had also come to Qi Xuan's side, and had recognized Wu Dalang, but she was surprised and didn't say much.

The two didn't meet many times on the boat, and they didn't know each other enough to say hello.

"The disciples of Shangqingguan..." Fang Xiao's eyes darkened slightly, obviously he had already learned about the existence of Qi Xuan and others from Wu Dalang before.

"Qi Xuan has met Senior Fang." Qi Xuan bowed generously, and then said with a smile: "When I was in the audience, I often heard Zhang Heming mentioning you."

"You know who I am." Fang Xiao said coldly, "Did Shangguan Xun tell you?"

Qi Xuan nodded.

It was Shangguan Xun who deduced that Master Wu Dalang was Fang Xiao, the "Sanchuan Shenlong" who had disappeared for many years.

Fang Xiao sighed slightly, and then asked, "How is Zhang Heming?"

"Not good!" Qi Xuan said bluntly: "I have lost all my martial arts, and the position of master has been passed on to my disciples, and now I am waiting to die in the Shangqing Temple."

"What!" Fang Xiao was shocked at first.

Then he frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked in a deep voice: "Are you really a disciple of Shangqingguan?"

"Could it be nonsense."

"With Zhang Heming's martial arts, who in the world can abolish his martial arts?"

"This matter is absolutely true, Senior Fang!" Qi Xuan pointed to the sky and swore: "If Qi Xuan has half a false statement, I will be hit by thunder and thunder, and I will die!"

Whoosh!
Suddenly a dry hand struck.

Qi Xuan, who was swearing to the sky, moved his eyes slightly, and immediately raised his hand to meet it...

boom!
A muffled sound.

"Huh?" Fang Xiao's face showed surprise for a moment, and then he raised his head to look at Qi Xuan who was still standing there, motionless.

"How? Senior Fang should believe that I am the disciple of Shangqingguan." Qi Xuan had a warm smile on his face, as if nothing happened just now.

He just responded to Fang Xiao's probing palm with the purest qi. If this still can't prove his body skills, then Qi Xuan has nothing to do.

You can't directly bring the head over.

"It's Shangqingguan's martial arts is good." Fang Xiao said with a complicated expression: "But you are really just a disciple of an ordinary elder, not a direct disciple of Zhang Heming."

Qi Xuan said embarrassingly: "My talent is too poor, and I am very lazy, so I am not qualified to worship under the head of the sect."

……

"Zhang Heming really lost all his martial arts?" Fang Xiao asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"It's a long story..." Qi Xuan immediately said with a sigh of relief, "It starts with Tang Tianque going to the south of the Yangtze River to participate in the martial arts conference 12 years ago..."

……

……

"In the end, Tang Tianque broke through the checkpoint, and with one palm he destroyed the master's martial arts, and then he instantly killed the five old men of the Tang clan with one palm." Qi Xuan said so much that he spit.

"Seeing that the master master had lost all his martial arts skills, Tang Tianque laughed wildly, and said on the spot, 'One of the four masters has been eliminated, and the remaining two are waiting for the deity to visit one by one. Let them know, what nonsense are the four masters? , only I, Tang Tianque, can rule the world!'"

……

Fang Xiao frowned.

Seeing the change in Fang Xiao's expression, Qi Xuan quickly stopped his embellishing actions, and said with a sigh of relief: "Although the sect leader thought of the two people's friendship and tried to persuade him, Tang Tianque was already obsessed with ghosts. Let go of the harsh words, saying that you will lead the Tang Sect eastward into the Central Plains, and unify the martial arts world!"

"Hmph!" Fang Xiao couldn't help sneering when he heard this, "After so many years, Tang Tianque is still dreaming such crazy dreams, and he really hasn't made any progress at all."

"Senior Fang." Qi Xuan said seriously: "It's different today, the master master said that Tang Tianque had already refined the yin and yang, and he was already the number one existence in the world."

"Junior looked at his tone, it seems that...you are very concerned about the other senior, and even said that the first thing after going down the mountain is to find you and avenge you!"

Qi Xuan finished speaking, and then secretly looked at Fang Xiao's expression, seeing that although he had doubts, but still had a serious face, he knew that he had already believed most of it.

Fang Xiao's face was serious, and he was silent for a long time, then he sighed and said: "He was defeated by me the most times back then, I never thought he would hold a grudge all the time!"

Hearing what Fang Xiao said, Qi Xuan's heart that had been suspended instantly dropped.
