Eternal Sword

Chapter 34 Doubt

Chen Tang woke up early in the morning.

He came to the yard and practiced the Subduing Tiger Fist several times. He stopped only when his body began to sweat slightly. He took out the book "Thirteen Styles of Swift Sword" from his arms and started to observe it.

Although Chen Tang had never practiced swordsmanship, he had mastered the Subduing Tiger Fist over the past two months.

Shan Zhongke once said that the way of weapons is an extension of the body.

As long as the body is well trained and the foundation is solid, no matter what weapon you pick up, you will be able to train very quickly.

What's more, Chen Tang has the ability to meditate in a trance, has a strong understanding, and has a photographic memory.

Every detail of the moves can be revealed in the state of divine illumination.

This trip down the mountain was by accident; the knife and bow and arrow were left on the snowy mountain and were not brought down.

Chen Tang found a thin wooden stick in the yard and used it as a knife, then practiced according to the pictures in the secret book.

Compared to a sword, a knife is easier to learn.

Even ordinary people who don't know martial arts know how to chop and swing a knife, and their lethality is considerable.

The front part of the secret book is about the basics of swordsmanship.

Although it seems to be the basics, it also has eight variations: chop, cut, stab, hang, lift, wipe, tap and entangle.

The attack, force and technique of each variation are different.

Chen Tang quickly mastered the eight basic sword techniques.

Afterwards, he began to practice the truly important part of the secret book, Thirteen Quick Sword Styles!
The Thirteen Quick Sword Styles is a progressive sword technique.

The first ten strikes were fairly normal, and were meant to build up momentum.

The last three strikes were more powerful and faster and faster!
The Thirteen Quick Sword Styles also have obvious flaws. If the first ten sword techniques are interrupted or cracked, you will have to start all over again.

Even so, this was the first sword technique book Chen Tang had ever obtained, and he practiced it with great interest.

"Cough cough!"

Just then, a light cough was heard at the door.

Chen Tang came to his senses and looked back, only to see that the fat old man had already gotten up and was standing at the door, stretching and yawning.

"Morning."

Chen Tang greeted him.

In fact, the fat old man had been standing at the door for a long time and was getting a little impatient.

But Chen Tang was so immersed in his swordsmanship that he never noticed him.

In desperation, he coughed lightly to attract Chen Tang's attention.

"What kind of swordsmanship are you practicing?"

The fat old man walked down the steps and asked with a frown.

"Thirteen Styles of Quick Sword."

Chen Tang knew that the fat old man's skills were far better than his own, so he did not hide it and spoke directly.

The fat old man raised his hand and Chen Tang felt a flash before his eyes.

The next moment, the book "Thirteen Styles of Quick Sword" in his hand appeared in the fat old man's hand!

Chen Tang didn't even see clearly how the fat old man took it from him!
It seemed that as soon as the fat old man raised his hand, the secret book was in his hand.

This old guy has something, I don’t know what level he is at.

It would be nice to have the opportunity to learn a few things from him.

Chen Tang was working on an abacus when the fat old man flipped through it and threw it to Chen Tang with a look of disdain on his face. He said, "What a crappy sword technique! It's a complete waste of time for you to practice this thing."

"Of these pages, only the first eight basic sword techniques are useful. The rest of the quick sword techniques are just a mess."

Chen Tang asked doubtfully, "Is this swordsmanship really that bad?"

He finally used his own ability to reveal a secret book, but in the end the fat old man devalued it and felt a little unwilling to accept it.

The fat old man asked, "Where did you learn this sword technique?"

"Um……"

Chen Tang hesitated.

The fat old man asked, "You picked it up from someone you killed, right?"

Do you want to be so direct?
Chen Tang said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

The fat old man said, "Then let me ask you, if this sharp knife is really useful, can you kill that person?"

"It makes sense..."

Chen Tang muttered to himself.

Seeing that the time was right, the fat old man raised his head slightly, put his hands behind his back, and said thoughtfully: "There are many secret manuals for practicing the fast sword in the world, but there are not many truly excellent fast swords. Among them, "Chasing Wind Fast Sword" is the most famous one."

After finishing speaking, the fat old man waited for Chen Tang to ask about "Chasing the Wind and Swift Blade".

In this way, he could then say, "I do know a few tricks."

At this moment, the fat old man's expression changed and he said, "Someone is coming." "Who?"

Qing Mu also walked out of the room.

"From the sound of his voice, he is an official."

The fat old man's ears twitched, then he looked at Chen Tang and said, "It should be coming for you."

Chen Tang listened carefully but didn't hear any sound.

It was not until a while later that he heard footsteps coming towards him from not far away.

Chen Tang thought about it carefully.

He shouldn't have left any big flaws.

The only problem might be the scar on Li Tao’s wrist.

But this alone is not enough evidence.

It is even more impossible to find it on his head.

It depends on the situation and we will act accordingly.

Chen Tang took a deep breath, put the "Thirteen Styles of Swift Sword" in his arms, picked up the broom and swept the remaining snow in the yard.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

Chen Tang stepped forward, removed the bolt and opened the door.

There were several officers standing at the door. The leader was dressed like a constable, but he was quite young, probably around twenty years old. He had a bamboo stick in his mouth and a cynical smile on his face.

Zhiwei also stood next to several officials.

When she saw Chen Tang, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Brother Atang, you are not dead?"

Chen Tang exclaimed in his heart.

If the two had never met last night, Zhiwei's reaction would be what they should have after meeting each other.

Zhiwei's words were also conveying a message, hinting to Chen Tang that she had not revealed any flaws.

"It's you?"

Chen Tang was slightly surprised and continued to act with Zhiwei.

The smile on Meng Liangyu's face remained unchanged.

The two people's reactions when they met were normal and there was nothing suspicious.

Meng Liangyu's gaze passed Chen Tang and fell on the fat old man and Qing Mu.

Both of them looked calm.

Meng Liangyu said, "There was a murder case in the county last night, and I came to ask two questions."

"Where were you three last night?"

"I drank some wine in the evening and went to sleep as soon as I came back."

"Never left?"

"No."

Meng Liangyu nodded and said, "Okay, it's okay."

It seemed that he came here just to deal with it casually.

"correct."

Meng Liangyu said: "This little girl's family members are all dead and she has no home. Since you saved her, please adopt her."

Ok?
The other party's move was a little unexpected to Chen Tang.

This captain of the police actually sent Zhiwei to his home and asked him to adopt her?

“Oh, and this dog.”

Meng Liangyu waved his hand, led the yellow dog behind him, and handed the leash to Chen Tang.

Chen Tang didn't answer.

But when the yellow dog saw him, it recognized him at once. Thinking of what happened last night and what Zhiwei had told it, it couldn't help but wag its tail and became very close to Chen Tang.

Chen Tang's expression remained unchanged.

When Zhiwei saw this scene, her face suddenly turned pale.

Meng Liangyu turned the bamboo stick in his mouth a few times and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, does this dog recognize you?"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed!
The fat old man and Qing Mu in the yard also turned their heads and looked over at the same time.

"Ha ha!"

At this moment, Meng Liangyu laughed loudly, patted Chen Tang on the shoulder, and said, "Just a joke, this dog is very friendly and friendly to everyone."
