Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 206: The Eagle of the Blue Sky (V)
The east wind blows away the mountain fog and thick clouds, and the moonlight appears and disappears from time to time.

After hearing what his sister said, Zhao Yuyan regained his composure and no longer thought about the man's strange palm skills.

It was late at night and the visibility was unclear, so they walked back carefully.

There were many snakes and insects along the way, and we also encountered two jackals following the smell of blood.

Although he has martial arts skills, he dare not be careless.

"Sister, that man ran away so quickly just now, did he recognize us?"

"will not."

The girl shook her head. "We mostly hang out in Gusu, and we don't have much fame in the martial arts world. I heard from my mother that these people rebelled against Pingding Prefecture, especially the White Tiger Hall branch, who had something to hide, so they fled far to the west of Yangguan Pass, outside Yumen Pass."

"He can't possibly know us."

"If these guys hadn't used the secret code that the Sun and Moon Sect had evolved from, and hadn't given me a clue, I wouldn't have observed them so carefully."

"Since this person is related to those traitors and has a tiger head brand on his arm, then according to what my mother said before, he is most likely a loyal subordinate of Shangguan Yun, the former leader of the White Tiger Hall."

The boy nodded, he also noticed this.

but
He usually prefers folk art and pays less attention to these things, not as often as his sister asks about them.

So I wasn't sensitive enough when I met these people.

Now that we have taken action, we can't help but take it seriously.

The two continued to return towards the Wulong Temple, and following Shangguan Yun's topic, he asked more questions.

"Is grandpa's death related to the White Tiger Hall?"

"When mom told you that, you didn't take it seriously at all. Why are you concerned about grandpa now?"

Zhao Fei turned his head and glanced at his brother.

"Although I have never met my grandfather, my mother said that he was once a martial arts overlord, commanding the world's largest sect."

"It's a pity that there are so many heroes in the martial arts world. He has been imprisoned in West Lake for more than ten years, and the martial arts world has changed a lot."

The young man sighed: "I've heard from many old people that the world today is very different from that of the past. It's a pity that he has never seen it."

"Who said they haven't seen it?"

Zhao Fei corrected him, "During the years when grandpa passed away, the martial arts world was influenced by the Hengshan Sword Contest, and the trend of discussing martial arts and swordsmanship was already popular. He had already seen the changes in the process."

"Because of his temper, his desire to dominate the world still remained. This is one of the reasons why he continued to practice the Star Absorbing Technique even though he was ill later."

"Dad once said that this martial art has many disadvantages, and asked mom to tell grandpa not to practice it. But he was confident that he could overcome it, so he practiced hard."

Zhao Yuyan was slightly startled.

This was the first time he had heard of these things.

My mother doesn't usually mention these things, I guess it was my sister who asked about them first.

"What about the White Tiger Hall?"

"Humph, this is naturally related to them."

Zhao Fei recalled the old stories her mother had told her, her voice a little colder: "Back then, Tong Baixiong killed Yang Lianting in the Chengde Hall of Blackwood Cliff and forced out Dongfang Bubai's secret. Before he died, Yang Lianting gave the key to the boudoir in the flower house of Blackwood Cliff to a purple-robed waiter, asking him to bring out Dongfang Bubai."

"Later, Dongfang Bubai fell off the cliff, causing chaos in the martial arts world. Afterwards, his myth of invincibility was shattered at the top of the mountain, and he jumped off the cliff."

"Little did they know"

"The key is still in the hands of the purple waiter."

"This person was once Yang Lianting's confidant and had a very good relationship with Shangguan Yun. When he heard that Grandpa had regained control of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, he was afraid of being purged, so he took advantage of Grandpa's time in Kaifeng to enter Dongfang Bubai's flower room and boudoir."

"He found the Sunflower Manual and left a copy."

"After returning to Blackwood Cliff, my grandfather destroyed the Sunflower Manual and did not settle accounts. But this man had evil intentions and colluded with Shangguan Hong, the descendant of Shangguan Yun, to lead the White Tiger Hall to apostatize and flee the mountain with the Sunflower Manual."

"My grandfather hated these traitors, and he heard that they had established their own demon sect, but he had lost his martial arts and was unable to stop them. This stimulation was the key reason for forcing him to practice martial arts."

The young man nodded continuously, and finally he understood the inside story.

"Has the Sunflower Manual been taken to the Western Regions by them?"

"But it became the Demon Sect's Treasure Record?"

"It's not that simple."

Zhao Fei had a more thorough understanding of martial arts than his brother: "The White Tiger Hall is not united from top to bottom. I heard that they even had internal fighting when they were being hunted by the Sun Moon Sect."

"I heard that the purple-robed waiter's martial arts skills are not very high. If he wants to save his life, it is unlikely that he will hand over all the Sunflower Manual to Shangguan Yun's descendants."

"That's true." The boy hummed.

He then connected the incident tonight: "The White Tiger Hall traitors appeared here, most likely they were involved in the Shaolin Temple incident. When the Black Wood Cliff riot occurred, the Shaolin Temple failed to convert the demons and instead lost a group of martial arts."

"Since they are still struggling to fight for Shaolin martial arts, it means that the Sunflower Manual brought out of Yumen Pass is very likely incomplete."

"You're finally smart for once."

Zhao Fei praised his younger brother, but when the boy listened carefully, he felt that it didn't sound like a compliment.

About to refute
Then I heard my elder sister say: "Whether it's the Sunflower Manual or the Shaolin Secret Martial Arts, their influence on the martial arts world is far from being as great as it is now."

This time, Zhao Yuyan understood without her explanation.

"It's Daddy, right?"

He thought of the soft palm he encountered tonight.

If it were a dozen years ago, the masters who practiced the Mian Palm would at most have complicated palm techniques that contained penetrating power.

This time, the bone-corroding poison was incorporated into it, and the method of practicing and exerting strength was also very different from the traditional cotton palm.

More than ten years ago, this guy's kung fu would have been considered a well-known master.

And in the current arena
He is just one of the stars in the sky.

"The shackles of the Jianghu people have been broken. When they begin to question the founders and masters of various sects, it is no longer something that can be solved by the lifeless secret manuals and records."

Zhao Fei nodded slightly, her brother's words were told to them by their mother.

There is a Langhuan secret room built in Yanziwu, Gusu, and most of the martial arts on Heimu Cliff back then have printed copies left there.

Faced with a group of martial arts books, my mother said these words to them.

so.
These secret corpses are best used for reference.

If you have the ambition to surpass the creators, you cannot just follow the old path.

There are still many traditional martial artists in the world who are searching for secret manuals, but there are also a large number of new martial artists who want to forge their own paths.

That is why the appearance of the Panzhou inscriptions caused such a sensation.

Both the old and new schools find it difficult to resist the profound martial arts philosophy.

The brother and sister returned to Wulong Temple.

The shouting and killing could no longer be heard.

Wow.
The sound of the spring became louder.

They followed the mountain path to the front of the temple. Torches were scattered on the ground and the smell of blood was extremely strong.

The groups of people just now have disappeared.

Zhao Yuyan picked up the torch and carefully shone it on the ground.

This was where they had just fought, and the bodies of the two enemies killed by Zhao Fei were still there.

“Look at their wrists.”

Zhao Fei gave a reminder, and Zhao Yuyan tore open the sleeves of their clothes.

Sure enough, there were tattoos on the wrists of the two people.

It seems to be a "sculpture" drawn with simple strokes.

"This tattoo is new. It seems that this is a new follower recruited by the Western Region Demon Sect."

Zhao Yuyan said: "Diao Shangguan Yun is the Eagle Knight. He is indeed related to the White Tiger Hall. No wonder he protected that man and helped him retreat."

"Sister, how are these two people's martial arts?"

He was fighting with that man just now and didn't pay much attention to this side.

"They are slightly weaker than the one you faced, but they are very insidious. They appear to be using knives, but they are actually better at whip techniques, and their kung fu is very similar to that of the Funiu School."

"Oh?"

Zhao Yuyan turned over the palms of the two people and found a thick layer of calluses from the base of the thumb to the palm and then to the lower side of the palm.

And there are fingerprint-like patterns on the thick calluses.

Looking at the weapon next to the corpse, the threads on the whip handle were very similar to the patterns on the thick calluses.

This shows that the two men have been using whips for many years.

He glanced at the steel whip and looked at its shape and length: "It's a bit like the Yum Victory Whip of the Funiu School, but longer."

"Ah."

Zhao Fei used his foot to move another steel whip, then lightly picked it up in his hand. He then waved it a few times in his hand and hit his brother.

However, she is not an expert in whipping.

If the two corpses on the ground were resurrected and saw the whip she used, they would definitely frown or even shout at her.

This whip is used very carelessly.

But some of the moves were simply restored.

"Did you see it?"

After the girl finished a few moves, she threw the whip away.

In addition to his love of folk art, my younger brother also likes to study martial arts. He often hangs out in the Gusu Langhuan secret room, reading a wide range of books.

therefore
He was the only one who had mastered his father's skills.

He knows a lot about the techniques and methods in the martial arts world.

Although Zhao Fei has a lot of knowledge, she is specialized in one field and is probably not as good as her brother in terms of the details of other subjects.

"Tian Ling Qian Zui?"

"The move you just used is very similar to the sixth variation of the twenty-ninth move in the Hundred Victory Whip."

"but."

"Although that move is strange, it can't be considered a superior martial art. The Funiu School's strength in this move is just very strong and fierce."

As the firelight flickered, Zhao Yuyan's eyes showed a searching look: "But this move of yours is dangerous and urgent. It completely defeated Tianling Qianzui, but it is quite dangerous. If the move is fatal, you will lose your defensive position, and I am afraid that the flaw in your chest will be exposed."

After he finished speaking, he quickly looked at the vital parts of the corpse.

As expected, both of them were stabbed in the heart and died instantly.

He shook his head and said, "These two are too arrogant."

"I'm afraid that she relied on attacking from both sides, thinking that my sister could only attack one side, and the other side could kill her. Therefore, she was unable to attack from both sides and was forced to retreat completely, thus falling into a disadvantageous position."

“But they didn’t expect it”

"Sister's sword is fast and concise, which is the nemesis of their complicated and changing moves."

"Once this flaw is exposed, the offensive will be difficult to complete and you will die."

Zhao Fei smiled and said, "You seem to be quite good at talking about martial arts."

Zhao Yuyan looked very satisfied.

Strike while the iron is hot, and turn over several nearby corpses in succession to see their vital points and guess their martial arts skills.

suddenly
The boy's expression changed.

One, two, three.
The fatal injuries on these bodies were exactly the same.

Tanzhong acupoint, Tanzhong acupoint, and Tanzhong acupoint again.
Zhao Yuyan turned over one of the bodies and touched his back. Sure enough, there was a large piece of soft, loose flesh with all the bones broken.

Looking at the Tanzhong point again, there is only one finger mark.

"What a powerful penetrating force, I think it's some kind of domineering finger skill, but I've never seen it before."

He was thinking.

The girl next to him frowned slightly, "Being able to hit the same vital point shows that there is a difference in strength."

"I've seen these people, they're not too weak."

"The person who made the move must be an expert."

She was extremely alert while speaking, and suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of Wulong Temple.

This turning around immediately caught Zhao Yuyan's attention.

The reactions of the siblings were quick!

At this moment! A sound like a nightingale flapping its wings suddenly rang out from the side of the collapsed wall of Wulong Temple!

He rushed towards the two of them.

In the light of the torch, the brother and sister saw a dark shadow for a brief moment.

He was wearing black clothes and a mask, and his origins were unknown.

But the speed of the action made the two feel threatened.

Zhao Yuyan turned over and took the attack first!
The man in black slapped him with his palm, but Zhao Yuyan didn't fall for it and dodged to meet his palm.

Sure enough, as soon as this palm technique was rolled up, the palm immediately changed into fingers. If you raised your palm to face him, you would be hit by his follow-up move.

At this time, the east wind blew away the thick clouds.

The moon shone brightly, and the man in black below suddenly crossed his fingers and pressed on the opponent's acupoints.

"Huhuhu~~!"

When he raised his hands and arms, a strong wind blew, which showed the strength of his true energy.

This finger technique is based on the profound internal strength of Qigong.

The moment Zhao Yuyan caught this information, he used his body skills and the power of Dou Zhuan Xing Yi to block the attack and did not dare to force it.

Suddenly, the man in black began to move his fingers more quickly. His ten fingers tapped together like blooming pomegranate flowers!

This move was too obvious and directly exposed his background.

"Step aside!"

Zhao Fei yelled and kicked a corpse on the ground.

The young man crouched down and stepped back.

The corpse suddenly flew out and blocked the man in black!
“Chichichi~!”

It was like the sharp sound of a sharp blade inserted into gravel. The front body of the corpse was hit by the finger force, and the back body burst into a blood mist that rose into the sky. Under the powerful finger force, the blood mist was like being injected with a gust of wind and rushed out three feet away.

The energy and blood turned into wind, directly extinguishing a torch on the ground!
"Shaolin's unique skill, Duo Luo Ye Finger!"

The brother and sister shouted in unison, and the black-clothed man's expression changed.

I didn't expect the opponent to be so slippery and have a strange way of relieving force.

His fatal attack could actually be recognized and avoided in an instant.

For a moment, I began to wonder about the origins of the two.

"Sister, his Duoluoye Finger is not an ordinary skill. The penetrating force of his finger technique is extremely fierce and is not the skill of great monks."

"Of course I know."

The girl drew her sword, and the boy followed suit.

"Don't argue with him, just fight together."

Seeing how straightforward they were, the man in black asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"

"Humph, ask the sword first!"

The man in black drew a dagger from his waist and prepared to fight.

Suddenly, he reached for his waist with his right hand, and a hidden weapon with a fishy smell flashed silver under the moonlight.

There was a series of ding-dang-dang sounds.

"Boom~!"

Then a large cloud of smoke rose up amid the loud explosion.

Zhao Fei slashed out from the mist with a sword, but the man in black had no intention of fighting. He ran straight to the mountain path and went down the mountain without looking back.

Because it was too dark, the brother and sister did not chase after him.

"I didn't expect that there was such a master hiding in Wulong Temple. Most of these people were killed by him."

"Ah."

Zhao Fei said: "This person's skills are quite high."

"But he watched a battle at the Five Dragons Observatory, so his internal strength must have been depleted. Therefore, he didn't have the confidence to face the two of us, so he left decisively."

Zhao Yuyan let out a sigh of relief:

"He has mastered the Duoluo Leaf Finger to a very high level. I wonder how he did it."

"It is said that a master who has mastered this skill to perfection can make the power of his fingers bloom like a pagoda flower in a moment, and his body and footwork can move as fast as the wind to smash huge rocks into pieces one by one."

“Although this person has not reached this level, there are probably not many monks in Shaolin who have mastered this unique skill to this level of skill.”

The girl hummed.

"Such a master has appeared in Wulong Temple. I am beginning to wonder what they are fighting for."
