Chapter 13 Chapter Three

Coming in a meandering way ahead, there are four horses. The first person held an ink painting fan in his hand, a square scarf and Confucian clothing, a white face with a small mustache, and a doughy smile on his face, without any quack air.The man on his left has a black face and curly beard, a long body and a broad waist, sitting on a horse, almost crushing the horse.On his back were two huge axes, each the size of a wheel, probably weighing more than two hundred catties.The person on the right has a sallow complexion, about forty years old, nothing outstanding about his appearance, except that his arms are unusually long, and his hands hang down to reach his knees.The other person was still tightly wrapped in black even under the bright daylight. Although his eyes were bright and sharp, there was a scar between them, which made them even sharper.

It was Yuan Du. Guo Ao's eyes flickered, and he murmured: "Weird things happen every year, especially this year. Some people become robbers after disappearing for a day. Where can we find good people in this world?" The person holding the folding fan smiled and said: "Don't be surprised by Guo Daxia, in fact, he shouldn't be called a robber, because the word 'zhai' in our Qingtian village is not the 'zhai' of 'shanzhai', but the 'debt' of 'debt collection'. '." Guo Ao smiled calmly and said, "You guys are here today to collect debts." The man shook his folding fan lightly, nodded and said, "Exactly."

Guo Ao said: "I owe you a debt?" The man folded his fan and pointed, "You owe him a sword." He pointed to Yuan Du who stood at the end.Guo Ao nodded and said: "He said that this sword will be returned to me sooner or later." The man said with a smile, "We are not in a hurry to get Mr. Guo's debt. We are here today to collect other debts." Guo Ao said: "Oh?" The man said: "We come to collect debts from them." What he was pointing at was the twelve troopers.The expressions of these twelve people had already changed dramatically following his finger pointing.

Guo Ao said: "What debt can they owe you?" The man smiled and said leisurely: "It's not much debt, it's just some silver—two million taels of silver." Guo Ao also laughed: "Your names are different from others, but your actions are the same as before. After all, you still need money." The man hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's different! If others don't want money, they will fight. We are different." Guo Ao said: "What's the difference between you?" The man said: "We exchange things with them until they are willing to exchange silver with us!"

"What do you give in exchange?" "Take their hands, their feet, their lives!" he explained with relief, "We didn't really cut off their hands, stomp their feet, and take their lives; we just made them believe , we have the ability, and then they will change." Guo Ao forced a leisurely smile on his face: "Now you come to take my hands, feet, and life in exchange for these two million taels of silver?" The man seemed to be interested in the folding fan in his hand, and did not answer.Guo Ao sneered and said, "Since I am a bodyguard for others, I can only act in the way of a businessman. As long as you take my hands, feet, and life, why don't I give you the two million taels of silver?"

The man raised his eyes suddenly, and said with a smile: "Second, third, fourth, he wants to see our abilities, what do you think?" The big bearded man shouted angrily: "If he wants to see it, let him watch it!" Suddenly he steered his horse forward, and with both hands, two giant axes the size of wheels flew into the air.The big man danced in the air with his palms, and the two giant axes also danced in the air, like a windmill, with an astonishing momentum.He didn't wield the great ax with two hands.No one can carry a huge ax weighing more than two hundred catties and swing it so freely.He uses his shoulders, his elbows, his chest, his feet, every part of his body.

Holding the giant ax in his hand, he exhaled and made a sound, the giant ax hissed and screamed, and pierced through the air.Then his shoulder hit the handle of the axe, the roar of the giant ax became more urgent, the volley changed, and it slashed down angrily.His elbow popped out suddenly, just hitting the ax face, the huge ax collided with each other, with a loud "clang" sound, dancing left and right, turning into two balls of green energy.His chest was sticking out, and the ax handle slammed into his chest, but this man was as if made of steel, unwavering.The ax whistled sharply, and his body slid out, his feet kicked suddenly, and the two giant axes shot up into the sky.This method of handling the ax seemed blunt, but the big man used it skillfully and flexibly.The gigantic ax weighing more than two hundred catties has changed from clumsy to ingenious.

The big man suddenly put his ax back and stood up, proudly said: "Is this kind of ax enough to replace your two hands?" Guo Ao looked at his two hands and said: "It is indeed enough." The yellow-faced man dismounted slowly, stretched out his palm, and pressed it on the horse's back.The horse neighed, and was pushed down to the ground by him.The man then slapped the horse's butt, the horse was frightened, its hooves twitched, and it galloped away.The man didn't move, his palms seemed to be glued to the horse's back, and he was led by the horse to gallop away.As soon as he pressed on the horse's back, his body retreated suddenly, his palm was raised far away, and he struck out with a sudden palm.At this time, the horse had run ten feet away, but its front and rear feet suddenly "grown" together.The man smashed all the horse's bones with a volley of palms, and crushed the horse "flat".

Guo Ao moved, "Good qigong." The man said coldly, "I wonder if this qigong is enough to replace your feet?" Guo Ao sighed, "I'm afraid my feet won't be worth the price." The Confucian scholar waving a folding fan smiled and said, "What about my martial arts?" Guo Ao said, "Just now you touched three blades of the big man's flying axe. A piece of horsehair, with your lightness of hand, is more than enough to exchange my life, so there is no need to ask any more." The Confucian changed his face and said: "I never thought that the sword god Guo Ao's eyesight is so sharp! But since you think we are worth the price, why don't you send us the silver?"

Guo Ao smiled lightly and said, "You have forgotten that my most valuable thing is not my limbs, nor my life." The Confucian scholar smiled and said, "What is more valuable than your life? Could it be these two million taels of silver?" Guo Ao said in a deep voice, "It's a sword!" His dull eyes suddenly became sharper, and his voice seemed to be infused with an inexplicable confidence: "Axe skills change hands, qigong changes feet, and lightness skills change lives, but what do you use to change them?" sword?" He suddenly turned around and faced the big bearded man: "Your ax technique is really miraculous, but most of your kung fu is on the handle of the ax. If I cut off the handle of your ax with a sword, how can you use your shoulder? With your elbow? With your chest?"

Sweat dripped from the big man's forehead, and he seemed to have been defeated by his words! Guo Ao ignored him and turned to the yellow-faced man.His gaze became sharper, but the yellow-faced man couldn't help feeling uneasy.Guo Ao said slowly: "Your qigong is indeed powerful. There is no tricky way to overcome such a tough skill." The yellow-faced man couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but Guo Ao said, "But qigong palm itself also has a fatal weakness. Just slow!" He stared at the yellow-faced man: "My swordsmanship is famous for being fast, you can block one or two of my swords, and can you block my third sword?" The yellow-faced man is also sweating profusely!It is indeed unstoppable, no one can stop it!No matter how good the palm qigong is, it needs a certain amount of time to recover, and the quick palm will never be heavy. Everyone knows this truth.If the master of the sword uses a fast sword to defend, no matter how powerful the qigong is, what can be done? Guo Ao looked at the slightly trembling hands of the yellow-faced man and smiled with satisfaction.He turned to Confucian scholars.The Confucian scholar laughed first: "I know Mr. Guo doesn't like my lightness skills, and he won't trade his life for it." Guo Ao nodded and said: "I don't like your lightness kung fu, and no light kung fu can kill me!" The Confucian scholar was still laughing, as if he agreed with Guo Ao, but he seemed to disdain it at all.Guo Ao ignored it, and continued: "But hidden weapons are different. Gao Ming's lightness kung fu is supplemented by invisible hidden weapons, and no one can dodge them." He looked at the Confucian scholar: "Are you a master of hidden weapons?" The Confucian smiled and said, "I didn't want to be at first, but I have been practicing hidden weapons since I was three years old!" Guo Ao sighed again: "Tang Sect is right Children are the most demanding, you must have suffered a lot." The Confucian scholar said in surprise, "Tang Sect? Why do you think I'm a disciple of Tang Sect?" Guo Ao smiled, his smile at this time was like a flashing sword shadow, faint but distinct, like a sword slashing an enemy's face.He said leisurely: "Aren't you Tang Fan?" Only then did the Confucian scholar freeze his whole body, two strings of light burst out from his eyes, and the light shot out, gathering on Guo Ao's face.Guo Ao didn't move.His face was as resolute as a cast of stone, even if it was cut with a knife, this face would not be damaged at all. The Confucian scholar finally sighed, slowly closed his eyes, and said, "How did you see that?" "Do you know that you have a habit? Your left hand has always stayed on your waist. Even if you were galloping on the horse and touching the blade of the axe, the position of your left hand has never moved. There is only one explanation for this, and that is you There must be some deadly weapon on your left waist, and you are used to putting your left hand here. But the sword, the spear, the whip, the whip and the shield are round, but your waist is flat, with only a small bag, so this Nine out of ten deadly weapons are hidden weapons. As for the hidden weapons in the world, who can be as deadly as the Tang Sect?" Tang Fan said in a deep voice, "Go on!" Guo Ao said, "You may have also discovered this habit of yours, so you found a folding fan and shook it from time to time to attract other people's attention. But although the moving things are eye-catching, they are What doesn't move is the real threat!" "Then it can't be concluded that I am Tang Fanya?" Guo Ao said proudly: "Although the Tang family is famous for their hidden weapons, they have always prided themselves on being upright and upright. Such an annoying Tang family, it's not your fault, Tang Fan!" Don smiled.His laughter was sharp and powerful, and it was somewhat similar to Yuan Du's. "What a sword god! What a Guo Ao! Based on what you said, swordsmanship, qigong, light work, and hidden weapons are really not enough to replace your sword. But what about this thing?" He raised his hand and suddenly heard There was a loud rumbling sound, and seven or eight people jumped out of the woods on the left side of the official road. The figures twitched, and a red-clothed cannon was set up impressively!Tang Fan pointedly smiled and said: "All methods will kill you, but what about this cannon? You must not underestimate it, it has been carefully modified by my Tang Sect. Once the cannonball is fired, no matter what When it hits any target, it will explode immediately, and the 36,000 poisonous caltrops and bone-shattering smoke hidden in it will also explode out. As long as there is a slightest hit, I guarantee that your divine sword will immediately become a ghost sword! "Guo Ao was finally moved! Tang Fan laughed loudly: "Even if you can escape, what about this little girl? What about these thieves? I don't believe you can transport away these two million taels of silver by yourself!" Shangguan Hong's face also changed.Tang Fan was even more proud: "You transported it here and there, didn't you transport it to Qingtianzhai? But Qingtianzhai is not far from Juludu, so even if you transported it so-so to Juludu, King Wuyue would not blame you. " Guo Ao was silent, as if he was trying to compare the strengths of them. Shangguan Hong's eyes gradually became as red as her clothes, and she hissed, "Aren't you a sword god? Why can't you even stop a cannon?" Tang Fan smiled and said, "Girl, please don't blame him, because of this Zun Dapao is too powerful, let alone he can't stop it, even if he is revived in the sky, he can't stop it!" Shangguan Hong shouted: "He can't stop me! Anyway, if you rob this dart, we won't survive!" She said, and rushed out with lightness kung fu.Her qinggong is not very good, but very fancy.The bright red skirt unfolded in the air, like a red flower.But this red flower has just been released, and it has already been pulled back by a hand. Shangguanhong's eyes were red, and she shouted, "Why did you pull me back? Are you...are you still a man?" Guo Ao ignored her, and said to Tang Fan, "The two million taels of silver are already yours. Why don't you move them away? Don't you want me to find something in exchange for your life?" Tang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "My life is very cheap, how can I dare to use the sword god's hand?" He turned around and waved his hands: "Brothers, the sword god has rewarded us with silver, hurry up and move it!" The twenty-four knights agreed loudly, jumped off their horses, and drove the escort cart forward.Everyone who passed by Guo Ao smiled, cupped their fists and said loudly, "Thank you Sword God!" There was an inexplicable irony in that smile. It was indeed worthy of their laughter that the Sword God's sword was sealed to death before it was unsheathed.It's just that this smile is too valuable, it's worth two million taels of silver! Guo Ao's face remained calm, as if these words were not addressed to him. In a blink of an eye, the robbers were all gone.When Yuan Du was about to leave, he couldn't forget to turn his head and stare fiercely at Guo Ao.Guo Ao knew what he meant, and also knew that the debt between them must be repaid.The question is how to pay it back.Is it Guo Ao's blood or Yuan Du's blood? The little girl suddenly jumped off the horse, pointed at Guo Ao and cursed: "Our father and daughter really misunderstood you. If I knew you were such a coward, why didn't we father and daughter take this dart by ourselves? If you kill her, you should die decently!" Guo Ao looked at her coldly.The little girl was not afraid at all, and still scolded: "I think your divine sword is no different from a fire stick, or why are you so afraid of a cannon?" This little girl is really young, she doesn't know what a red cannon is, nor does she understand its power.But she understood the disdain in Guo Ao's eyes, so she said loudly: "Isn't it just a cannon, I don't believe it can bomb me to death!" Then she jumped out. Tang Fan and his group went with the escort cart, but for some reason, they left the cannon where it was.Aren't they afraid that Guo Ao will use this cannon against them? Guo Ao's eyes flickered.The little girl had already jumped in front of the cannon, held up the torch, and pointed at the fuze.That's what she saw the man in charge of the cannon do.Of course, the man just made a gesture, but the little girl actually clicked on it.Guo Ao's complexion changed immediately, he jumped up and pulled the little girl to jump ten feet away, with a little foot, another ten feet away. Suddenly, an earth-shattering loud noise was heard, and gunpowder smoke rose everywhere, enveloping the surroundings together!The little girl didn't expect the power of the cannon to be so strong, her ears were buzzing, and her face lost all color.When the gunpowder smoke dissipated, I saw that the woods behind the cannon had been flattened into a large pit with a radius of tens of feet, and the trees and soil were mixed into thousands of wreckage, splashing around.It's really crumbling mountains and destroying mountains, moving mausoleums to level the sea. The little girl's face became even uglier, and she also understood why Guo Ao didn't make a move!The power of this artillery fire is so powerful that it is beyond human ability to resist.It's just that the cannon fire was sprayed backwards. If Guo Ao used this cannon to deal with Tang Fan, he would probably kill himself. There is no poisonous smoke from thistles in the artillery fire. This cannon is just a deception, but this deception is extremely ingenious. When the money is in hand, they will throw away the cannon. If Guo Ao is not a person who is extremely cautious and calm, he will think that they are If you get carried away with pride and become obsessed with money and goods, maybe you will use this cannon to deal with them instead.Once the cannon turns around, Guo Ao and his party will surely die! Suddenly there was a loud bang that shook the world, and the smoke rose everywhere, enveloping the surroundings together. As soon as Guo Ao thought of this, cold sweat dripped from his forehead.The ingenuity of this scam is that no matter what you choose, Tang Fan will always be the winner.Turning the cannon to deal with Tang Fan will only kill him; if he doesn't use the cannon, he can only watch the bandits carry away the money. Shangguan Hong suddenly said: "Isn't he afraid that Uncle Guo will catch up and kill them all when they don't have cannons?" Guo Ao saved her life, so "coward" became "uncle" again. Guo Ao shook his head and said: "Of course they are not afraid. Because Tang Fan is a master of poison, even if they can't beat me, they can still poison the escort car. We can only look at the silver, but we can't touch it. Tang Fan You must have heard of the power of the door poison." Shangguan Hong mourned: "Could it be that you just watched them rob the escort cart?" Guo Ao said: "Who said they hijacked the escort cart?" Shangguanhong said: "It's not a robbery, can you still change the escort car back?" Guo Ao smiled lightly and said: "That's not impossible, it's just that the time has not yet come." Shangguanhong stared at him blankly, I don't understand what he means. Guo Ao said: "Although the hidden weapons and poisons of the Tang family are overbearing, I, Guo Ao, with a sword in my hand, may not be able to avoid these things, but I am sure that they will not be able to attack them!" Shangguan Hong said: "Even this cannon is the same. Is it?" Guo Ao said: "Even this cannon is the same!" Shangguan Hong wondered: "Then why don't you use your sword?" Guo Ao smiled and said: "When you reach my age, you will understand that the world's affairs cannot be solved by just using a sword!" Shangguan Hong shook her head and said, "I don't understand. I only know that if you draw your sword, the escort chariot will still be with us." Guo Ao said: "What can we do here? As the saying goes, 'If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid that thieves will miss you'. Although I am very confident, I have traveled more than three hundred miles, and I don't know how many thieves robbed me on the road. Even if my sword is real Excalibur, I'm afraid it will be soft. So, if they want it, why not give it to them?" Shangguan Hong asked anxiously: "How can I give it to them?" Guo Ao's expression was full of self-confidence: "Did you notice a word they said?"
