Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

Xiao Dajian quickly withdrew the weapon on his back, it turned out to be a huge crescent stick, swung the long stick, and rushed towards Xie Jinzhang like crazy. He was born with a stick, and with a mighty vigor, he directly attacked Xie Jinzhang's door. Xie Jinzhang's white beard was fluttering, and he turned around suddenly, and immediately retreated five steps away. Three sticks, one stick is stronger than the other—— Xie Jinzhang said coldly: "The old man doesn't want to fight with you, Xiao Dajian, take back your weapon." In the voice, both palms flew up, dismantling the opponent's continuous offensive.

Xiao Dajian shouted to the two big men beside him: "You have to avenge the murder of your younger brother. Why don't you take action against the second and third brothers?" As soon as the other two heard this, they all pulled out their long sticks and surrounded them; for a while, they combined fists and sticks, and their moves cooperated extremely miraculously and closely. Xie Jinzhang was trapped in the shadow of heavy sticks, dodging left and right was already dangerous, but he still refused to fight back, Xiao Da roared, and the three masters' long stick attacks intensified, and it seemed that if he didn't fight back, he would definitely be injured by the stick , Xie Jinzhang sighed inwardly: "Forget it," he clenched his fist with his right hand and went out from the shadow of the three crescent sticks.

The three of them were startled, and were about to compete for luck, Xie Jinzhang let out a low chirp, "click", "click", and "click" three times, and the three crescent sticks broke into two at the same time! This time he broke the stick with his palm, he held the lightning fast, the three masters hadn't seen clearly the opponent's moves, the long stick in his hand was already broken. Seeing this, everyone in the restaurant gasped in unison, especially Sanjie, who was even more astonished in his heart, because since their debut, Man Shuo seldom suffered defeat, even if they met someone whose martial arts were several times higher than his. The enemy can only surrender and admit defeat, and never breaks his weapon for others. Xie Jinzhang's martial arts are really incredible.

Xie Jinzhang closed his hands and said in a low voice: "Xiao Dajian! You are too aggressive!" Sanjie was startled and anxious, Xiao Dajian felt ashamed and stayed there again, waved his hand, the three of them rushed out without saying a word. As the three heroes of the Xiao family walked away, a black shadow flashed at the entrance of the restaurant, and they stepped into a middle-aged wandering doctor dressed as a warlock and carrying a black medicine box. The Youfang doctor held a string of bells and jingled them, facing the crowd of drinkers, he said: "Wealth and honor, life and death are determined by God. If I knew it would turn into misfortune and fortune in three days, I would travel all over the world. Literary and martial arts are useless. I only have one skill in physiognomy." I have a little bit of experience, if you have any doubts, I would like to give you some pointers, and earn two money by the way..."

None of the drinkers answered, the You Fang doctor looked around the building, and finally his eyes fell on Xie Jinzhang, he stepped forward and bowed: "My husband invited me." Xie Jinzhang frowned and said: "The old man doesn't have time to ask divination words at the moment, you should find someone else." Doctor You Fang didn't think it was disobedient, and said: "I've learned the art of looking at people since I was young, and I read thousands of people every day, but I feel that the old man is imposing, and I think he must be an extraordinary person, but—"

He deliberately paused, lowered his voice and said: "It's just that the old man's eyebrows are gathering, and the bad luck in Yintang is condensed and never dispersed. The bad luck is the main culprit. It's not a false threat. The old man must pay attention to his actions in the near future." Xie Jinzhang stared at You Fang Langzhong with both eyes, and said: "What do you think?" Dr. You Fang said meekly: "From my point of view, the old man must have a strange disaster in the near future!" Xie Jinzhang laughed heartily and said: "A blessing is not a disaster. A disaster can't be avoided. Haha, thank you for your guidance. I should be careful in my actions..."

Before he finished speaking, he flicked his right hand abruptly and grabbed the black medicine box in the opponent's hand. The way he grabbed it could be said to be as quick as lightning, and even more so suddenly, he thought that he must have caught it, but the doctor You Fang seemed to have been prepared for such a move, and he saw that the doctor was full Stepping slightly, his body blurred for a moment, and Xie Jinzhang caught the air with one hand. Dr. You Fang shouted: "You—what are you going to do?" Xie Jinzhang turned a deaf ear to it, and Lang You Fang only moved. His right arm suddenly stretched out, and he slapped the opponent's chest!

At the same moment, with a wave of his left hand, he grabbed the medicine box carried by Langzhong Youfang again, and this time, he used it just right, as long as Langzhong Youfang sealed Xie Jinzhang's palm force with his hand, the medicine box in the other hand would be destroyed. It is impossible to be caught by him. Langzhong You Fang turned around and retreated violently, while sealing him with his fist, he retreated five steps away, suddenly he flicked the medicine box with his left hand, the lid of the box jumped up automatically, spraying out a jet of emerald green water , Spraying towards Xie Jinzhang like flowing springs splashing beads.

When the green spring was spraying, all the people in the restaurant suddenly felt the smell of fishy smell, and they wanted to gag. They couldn't help running away, and suddenly someone blurted out: "Achie venom?!...Achie venom?!..." People said among them that they were even more terrified, the Artemisia venom was made from the water of Angu's bitter brook and mixed with poisonous juice, if the skin touched this liquid, the poison would immediately spread to the whole body, it was extremely powerful, That kind of venom is hidden in the medicine box of Dr. You Fang, it is beyond everyone's expectation.

This time, Xiao Qiang was hit, and the poisonous moxa was splashed in the air, the speed and range were so fast that it was quite frightening. Xie Jinzhang was stunned for a while, instead of retreating, he moved forward, his palms were flying, and the venom was swept away, splashing to the left eaves. It was too late to say it, and it was soon, Xie Jinzhang rolled up the venom, Fang Zi took a breath, and suddenly saw a figure rising through the air, raising one hand in the air, and attacking Xie Jinzhang's back officer. Zhao Ziyuan, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt his blood boil, because the viciousness of that person's attack was the only thing he had ever seen in his life. Although he had a strange hidden thought in his heart, he didn't like Xie Jinzhang, but another kind of natural chivalrous instinct , but forced him to sit by and watch.

With a loud roar, he leaped out with one step, swung his arm and slashed out, saying: "Pull your palms away!" The man said angrily: "Boy, how dare you meddle in your own business!" Before Zhao Ziyuan's palm force came, he shook his body and changed his position. Xie Jinzhang suddenly felt as if a huge boulder was being pressed on his back, he didn't even have room for a second thought, the five fingers of his right palm bent and stretched, and five invincible forces came out in response to his fingers, the man thought that a surprise attack was about to succeed Unexpectedly, the opponent's response would be so quick. After a little delay, the enemy's finger force had already broken through the air attack. The man let out a shock, and stepped back three steps.The Five Fingers flew across his side like thunder. Xie Jinzhang took a deep breath, facing Lang Youfang and said, "Poison Langjun Jingsen is you?" The You Fang Langzhong unexpectedly broke through the series of surprise attacks he had arranged for him one by one, under the astonishment, he unconsciously felt shy, and said: "The one whose surname is Xie, you know Jing." Xie Jinzhang said in a deep voice: "You poisonous gentleman ran across the two lakes with a poisonous weapon, but I have nothing to do with you. Why do you use such despicable tricks to plot against me?" Poison Lord Jing Sen said: "That's right, Mr. Jing will never provoke others for no reason, you are a sensible person with the surname Xie..." Xie Jinzhang interrupted impatiently: "Do you still want to play charades in circles?" The poisonous man Jing Sen stretched out his hand and pointed at the person who had just launched a surprise attack on Xie Jinzhang, saying: "If you want to know the reason, you might as well ask this Ma Zhiwei Ma hero." Xie Jinzhang thought for a while, then turned to the man and said: "Your Excellency is a descendant of Ma Chengguan in Magongdian, Anhui!" The man said fiercely: "Ma Chengguan is the late father. His old man died under the sword of professional swordsman Xie Jinyin twenty-five years ago. This time I invited the help of the poisonous gentleman to seek revenge. Since you are Xie Jinyin's younger brother, we naturally I can't let you go." He couldn't help but slapped himself again, Xie Jinzhang dodged it and said: "This old man doesn't want to hurt you and increase my brother's crimes. If you are a reasonable person, you shouldn't continue to force me to—" Ma Zhiwei said: "Don't talk nonsense, come here with your life!" After saying that, he stretched out his palm fiercely, hoping that Xie Jinzhang would come over quickly. Xie Jinzhang saw that he had finally made a move, sighed secretly, and was about to seal his palms to greet him, when suddenly he heard a shrill voice: "Who is making noise here in the early morning, yo, still working hard." Everyone followed the prestige and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman in a peach-colored long gown standing at the entrance of the restaurant. As soon as the middle-aged beautiful woman appeared, there was a commotion in the building, and the group of heroes whispered to each other and whispered endlessly: "Peach Blossom Lady?... The Peach Blossom Lady from Wuhuadong is here!..." "As soon as Lady Peach Blossom arrives, we'll have another good show..." "Now that Xie Jinzhang is afraid that he won't be able to finish eating, I heard that his brother had a relationship with Peach Blossom Lady... "Shh, Taohuaniang is most afraid of others bringing up this matter, how many brains do you have to dare to talk long and short?" "..." The Peach Blossom Lady turned her beautiful eyes and glanced around the building, although her face was full of smiles, but all the drinkers shuddered, all of them were silent like cicadas, and dared not speak out again. The Peach Blossom Lady walked towards the two people who were fighting, and said softly: "Is Xie Jinyin's baby brother here too? Great, great." Xie Jinzhang glanced back at Peach Blossom Lady in his busy schedule, his expression also changed, he didn't say a word, fit his body with a slight bow and suddenly sprinted backwards, and rushed out of the restaurant. Ma Zhizhi and the poisonous man Jingsen shouted at the same time: "Xie, do you want to leave?" The two pulled out their bodies, and then hurriedly caught up. Zhao Ziyuan saw this scene coldly, with mixed feelings in his heart, and secretly sighed: "Xie Jinyin became a professional swordsman. He killed countless people in his life. As a result, he was surrounded by enemies, besieged on all sides, no matter whether he was good or evil, he wanted to kill him. Now he is dying, but his younger brother has come forward to bear it for him. Is this okay? Is it karma?" Seeing that Xie Jinzhang retreated hastily, the Peach Blossom Lady did not start to chase after her, her eyes slowly focused on Zhao Ziyuan, and she did not move away for a long time. Zhao Ziyuan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her, only to hear Taohua Lady give a slight "Hey" and murmur: "How much like...how much like back then..." The voice was quite confused, and suddenly stopped speaking halfway through. In the ghost town in the past, Zhao Ziyuan also thanked Jin Zhang for saying the same incomprehensible words to him. Tao Hua Niang smiled at Zhao Ziyuan and asked, "Little brother, is your surname Xie?" Zhao Ziyuan was greatly astonished, and said: "Zhao Ziyuan, why do you ask such a question?" Lady Peach Blossom looked at Zhao Ziyuan suspiciously, seeing his face full of bewilderment, she couldn't help muttering to herself: "This young man's appearance is very similar to that of the enemy. What is strange is why his surname is Zhao and not Xie?" Zhao Ziyuan was also puzzled and thought: "My surname is Xie? Why should my surname be Xie? What is the origin of this woman?" He meditated to himself, and it took him a while to wake up, cursing himself secretly: "Damn it! Then Xie Jinzhang is Xie Jinyin's younger brother. I found him with great pains, how could I miss him so easily? I was so confused just now." Thinking of this, he no longer cared about the man with disabled limbs and the Taohua lady, and rushed towards the direction where Xie Jinzhang was escaping. Peach Blossom Lady shouted: "Little brother, stay here!" As soon as her delicate body was mentioned, she floated out gracefully against the floor, and chased after her. The middle-aged servant Tianfeng watched Zhao Ziyuan's figure fly away like an arrow, and asked the disabled man in the wheelchair: "Do you want me to chase the kid surnamed Zhao back? Master." The disabled man shook his head and said: "Wuyong, that kid is under the poison of the old man Malan, and he will never escape. He went after Xie Jinzhang." Let's say that after Zhao Ziyuan came out of the town fair, he ran with his feet and walked a long way. He looked around, and there was no trace of Xie Jinzhang. He stopped, looked around for a while, and suddenly saw a person on the slope ahead performing lightness kung fu, galloping towards the west at an astonishing speed.The man's face was very familiar, Zhao Ziyuan recognized him at a glance, and blurted out: "Brother Gu!" That young man was Gu Qianwu, he turned his head and looked at Zhao Ziyuan when he heard the sound, but there was no response, his running and figure didn't stop, Zhao Ziyuan was slightly taken aback, but he didn't have time to worry, he leaped forward, Duan Duan stopped in front of Gu Qianwu—— Zhao Ziyuan said: "Brother Gu, don't you recognize my younger brother?" Gu Qianwu still didn't take care of Zhao Ziyuan, and with a "huh", he turned around and flew past Zhao Ziyuan. Hear only his hasty words; "It's urgent, I can't stay here for a while, Brother Zhao, please meet at Guangling Temple in the north of Zhenbei at Shenshi tonight..." The following words faded away and could no longer be heard clearly, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run tens of feet away and disappeared into the twilight. Zhao Ziyuan was full of doubts and thoughts, and murmured; "Brother Gu Qianwu, brother Gu, fed golden needles with Malan poison, didn't he only have forty-eight hours to live? Maybe it was just the alarmist talk of the disabled person. Since brother Gu didn't die, how did he get out of Taizhao Castle? Just now, what did he mean by urgent matter?" He stood in a daze for a long time, still unable to figure out any clues, only shook his head slightly, and moved on. The sun was rising gradually, and it was scorching hot on the ground. Zhao Ziyuan walked on the hillside, a breeze blew by, and there was a faint sound of fists and kicks. He murmured to himself: "It seems that someone is making a move. I wonder if Xie Jinzhang has encountered another enemy here?" Going down the hillside, two forked roads appeared in front of him. Zhao Ziyuan was unsteady, when a human voice faintly entered his ears: "Cao, are you still determined? There are old men guarding the front and back of this thatched hut. If you beat the old man, you just want to slip away. That's impossible!" Another deep voice said: "In this way, your Excellency is obsessed with Cao?" At first, that Daolu voice said: "We don't need to waste time talking nonsense. Cao, you should let go of the bachelor and hand over the object. The old man will let you go there, otherwise... Hey! Hey! You must understand the consequences very well..." The voice came from the small path on the left, Zhao Ziyuan jumped up and ran four or five feet in one breath, and the vague voice gradually became clear: "Are you paying or not?" The deep voice said: "What object are you talking about?" Nalu's muffled voice said: "Don't do this in front of the old man. Before he died, Zhao Feixing handed you a booklet of yellow twisted leather. Don't you know the old man?" The deep voice said: "Your Excellency is well informed." Nalu's muffled voice said: "Surnamed Cao, you have as many as five records of the old man's cinnabar blood palm, and your life is at stake. If you don't hand over the yellow twist booklet today, it will not be a good thing." Another hoarse voice interjected: "This man is very stubborn, why should master play the piano to a cow, he can be dealt with with one palm." Zhao Ziyuan had a thought, and secretly shouted: "One of them is Cao. If it's not Cao Shiyuan who went to the castle a few days ago to rescue Wei, I have to catch up as soon as possible to find out." He no longer neglected, and leaped towards the place where the sound came from. He could already hear the sound of Zha Zha and Qi Qi, and the two sides seemed to start fighting again. Suddenly there was a mournful scream, Zhao Ziyuan's heart tightened, he raised his arms like a bird, and made a big bend, so he saw a dilapidated thatched hut in front of the left. Before it collapsed, it was completely a thatched cottage in ruins. When he came close, the surroundings became silent instead, Zhao Ziyuan suddenly had an ominous premonition, as if the dilapidated thatched hut contrasted with the surrounding silence, there was a chilling atmosphere. The wooden door of the hut was closed, Zhao Ziyuan Yunzu shouted out: "Is anyone in the house?" He yelled three times in a row, but there was no movement in the room. The sounds of fists, feet and voices he heard just now disappeared in an instant! For no reason, Zhao Ziyuan felt a chill rise from his back, and quickly hit his whole body. He hesitated for a moment, and secretly made a decision: "Anyway, I have to take a look inside." With a palm raised, the wooden door suddenly opened, Zhao Ziyuan flashed past, It was dark inside, and he used his palms to accumulate internal energy and groped forward.A ray of sunlight came in through the cracks outside the door, and in the mist, I saw four knots of cobwebs inside the house, and the ground was covered with dust, obviously it had been uninhabited for a long time. Zhao Ziyuan looked around, and saw in the center of the thatched hut a plan that was rotten and tired, and an old Confucian scholar was lying reclined under the table—is it Cao Shiyuan or someone else!Zhao Ziyuan called softly: "Senior Cao, is that you?" Cao Shiyuan was still lying motionless against the table, Zhao Ziyuan secretly wondered, could it be that Senior Cao had already died, otherwise why would there be no response? Zhao Ziyuan carefully looked at Cao Shiyuan for a long time, and saw that his expression was peaceful, without any signs of violent death. When he touched him again, his heart had already stopped beating. It was obvious that he had been out of breath for a long time. Zhao Ziyuan had never seen such a peaceful death. He died in a coma. Generally the same, why not be surprised! At the moment, he felt uncomfortable feeling in his chest. In Taizhao Fort, he and Gu Qianwu worked together to lure Zhen Dingyuan away and saved Cao Shiyuan's life. He didn't want him to escape the catastrophe and was killed here. Such a person can kill people invisible, and the means are terrifying enough! He silently asked himself: "Who killed Senior Cao here? I don't know if he retreated or not..." Before he could stop thinking, heavy footsteps sounded outside the hut, and upon listening carefully, there were more than one footsteps, and Zhao Zi's already nervous nerves immediately tensed up—— His mind turned and he thought to himself: "Could it be that the murderer who killed senior Cao Shiyuan returned after leaving? I might as well find a hidden place and take a peek secretly." Then he glanced around and found that there was a cloth curtain behind the earth wall on the right side, which was very difficult to be noticed by people hiding behind. I didn't think of this, so I made a quick decision. He hastily hid behind the black wooden cabinet a few feet away from the curtain, and then hid himself. With a sound of "squeak", the wooden door was pushed open! Zhao Ziyuan sat in the dark and waited with his breath held, not daring to poke his head out to take a peek. He only heard the door rang, and walked in with two steps of varying severity. One of the hoarse voices said: "Master, I remember very clearly. Before I left, I did close the door, but now it was pushed open. It is clear that someone has been here..." Another turbid voice said; "Chao Xing, think about it again, do you remember correctly?" That "Chao Xing" said: "It can't be wrong." Nalu murmured to himself in a turbid voice: "The corpse surnamed Cao has not been moved, and the visitor may still be stranded in the house..." Zhao Ziyuan couldn't help it, and quietly stretched out his head to look out. Through the misty light, he could see two people standing side by side in front of the desk. Very cunning, the person standing next to the boy was dressed in gray clothes, his hands were tucked into his sleeves, his face was stiff and expressionless, obviously he was wearing a human skin mask! The man in gray turned around halfway, and when the gray sleeves were flipping, there was an indescribably eerie feeling, which made people feel creepy. Zhao Ziyuan suddenly remembered the identity of the mysterious gray-clothed man in front of him, and his heart was shocked—not long ago, he had seen this person in Liuxiangyuan, and he almost died under his hands. This gray-clothed man was Wu Bingxin His father, the owner of Liuxiangyuan! In an instant, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, but he saw the gray-clothed man's eyes sparkling with cold electricity, moving in the direction of the cloth curtain and the wooden cabinet, and said in a cold voice: "Friend, why don't you just show up by yourself, or wait for the old man to catch you out?" Zhao Ziyuan thought to himself: "This gray-clothed man is very sinister. The back of the wooden cabinet is so dark that you can't reach your fingers. He will never find out that I am hiding here, but he will attack his heart as soon as he opens his mouth. Fortunately, I have seen this. If it were someone else, I would be afraid." Don't fall for his tricks, did you show up and go out automatically?" The man in gray couldn't get a response, his eyes changed, and he walked straight towards the wooden cabinet. Zhao Ziyuan was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth. He took a deep breath of true energy and put his whole body on guard, but he saw the man in gray take five or six steps, suddenly stopped, and turned his head slowly—— Zhao Ziyuan faintly felt that the gray-clothed man's actions were full of mystery, and he wondered secretly. At the same moment, the wooden door shook, and a figure flashed in! The man in gray sneered and said: "Go to hell!" The laughter didn't stop, and one sleeve was raised suddenly, a terrible wind blew up in the room, mixed with strange whistling noises, the man reacted very quickly, and immediately dodged to the left, the man in gray gave a gloomy smile, and his figure also changed. Followed by a flash, the gesture waved vaguely, and the original style flew down.The man withdrew and retreated, shouting: "Don't fight! It's one of our own!"
