Chapter 308 Chapter 3 Song Family Mountain City

The appearance and interior of Song Family Mountain City will give people two completely different feelings. If the former reminds people of attacking and defending, the latter will only remind people of Ningyi and peace. There are hundreds of houses distributed in the city, connected by more than a dozen well-ordered avenues paved with bluestones. The most distinctive feature is that they rise layer by layer according to the mountain. It is convenient for residents to drop off their cars immediately. Trees, flowers and plants are planted all over the roadside, and spring water from the mountain is introduced to form streams, which are interspersed in the garden residence, forming endless beautiful scenery such as small bridges, ponds and pavilions. The space is spacious and comfortable, and it has the scenery of Jiangnan gardens. In a large garden on a hill.

The main buildings are gathered on a large platform about two miles around the ninth floor. The towering pavilions and elegant buildings are made of wood and stone. From the eaves to the flower windows, the decorations are meticulous and meticulous, creating an atmosphere full of southern culture. His majestic style makes people feel the important position of the Song Clan in the south.Kou Zhong followed Song Lu and Song Zhi through the pavilions, pavilions, flowers and trees, and came to the courtyard gate at the entrance of the Sharpening Hall at the end of the mountain city. Song Zhizhi stopped and said, "Should the two of us go in with the young marshal to meet the elder brother?"

Song Lu sighed and said, "Hearing what you said, elder brother should have appointed to meet Xiao Zhong alone." Song Zhi nodded and smiled wryly. Kou Zhong was startled and said, "Are Uncle Lu and Uncle Zhi afraid that the boss will use me to test the knife?" Song Zhi worried Zhong Zhong said: "It is inevitable to test your sword skills. The question is whether he will kill you. According to the usual practice, people who engrave his name on the whetstone will eventually die by his sword." Down." Kou Zhong was puzzled, "Why did he suddenly want to kill me, what good would killing me do to his old man?"

Song Zhidao: "Eldest brother has always been unpredictable for Dunn people. He secretly left the mountain city a while ago, and when he came back, he engraved your name on the whetstone. I have tried many times, but he refused to reveal the slightest word, so this matter We can only bet on your luck, if the young general leaves the city immediately, we will never blame you." Kou Zhong laughed, and said: "I, Kou Zhong, am not a person who retreats before the battle. I am more sure that I can come out alive and find two people to drink." After saying that, he stepped into the courtyard gate casually.

Xu Ziling smiled lightly: "Grandma, please don't get me wrong, I just wanted to see if I could borrow a knife from someone." Everyone was surprised. If you want to do good things, you must first sharpen your tools.Even if the knives are forged by the same blacksmith, there are differences in lightness, heavyness, bluntness, and sharpness.Therefore, martial arts practitioners attach great importance to portable weapons, because if they do not master the characteristics of weapons after a long period of time, they will be hindered and unable to exert themselves to the highest level of tricks and kung fu.

For example, if Xu Ziling wanted to defeat "Meiji" Sina within three moves, whether he could use the characteristics of the weapon had a more critical impact, and if he borrowed an inappropriate weapon in such a hurry, the biggest possibility was that he hadn't yet Knowing the characteristics of weapons clearly is earlier than three moves. Lin Lang took off the saber, handed it to Xu Ziling and said, "Master Gong, let's see if this one is suitable for use." Huo Jitong snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Lin Lang's move. Xu Ziling took the long knife, slowly pulled out the knife, left the scabbard and right the knife, his eyes shot out sharp lightning, covering Huo Jitong who was beside Xia Miaoying, and said in a deep voice: "No matter how things develop, the matter between me and you has nothing to do with Wujiang." It has absolutely nothing to do with the gang. If I, Gong Chenchun, were defeated and captured, of course I have no right to speak. But if someone Gong wins by chance, and Huo Jitong, you find trouble with the Wujiang gang afterwards, I, Gong Chenchun, hereby make an oath, No matter how big or small the matter is, I will take your life."

The moment he drew his sword out of its sheath, a scorching saber energy immediately radiated from the long sword, attacking the enemy like an undercurrent. Combined with his arrogant and resolute words, it has incomparable intimidating power . "Beautiful Girl" Sina, who bears the brunt, has never thought that someone can use the aura of drawing a knife to emit such a powerful and strange energy, and immediately take a step back involuntarily, swinging the sword posture, against the opponent's invisible and real Huge saber energy. Xia Miaoying also changed color. Huo Jitong looked at him a long time ago and felt chills in his heart, because of the surge of saber energy, he had no choice but to take two steps back, and he didn't even dare to say a word of rebuttal for a while.

Everyone else felt that Xu Ziling's words were reasonable, because "Meiji" Sina was the heir of the Sichuan Heyi faction and one of the four leaders of the Pakistani League. Maybe only "Wulin judge" Xie Hui has the ability to protect Huo Jitong's life, and no one else can.And Huo Jitong disregarded the rules of the rivers and lakes, so he insisted on venting his anger to the people of Wujiang Gang after the fact. With Xie Hui's always fair style, he would never intervene in it. Xu Ziling knew that Huo Jitong had been intimidated, so he turned his gaze to "Beautiful Ji" Sina, pointing his blade.

Strange things happened. The scorching scorching saber air suddenly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a gloomy and solemn cold air. Xia Miaoying was startled in the end, and sternly shouted: "Na'er back down!" She pulled out her whisk. At this time, everyone knew that "Gong Chenchun" was strong in martial arts, far beyond Xia Miaoying's imagination, which made her completely lose confidence in Sina's ability to force three moves. Sina has a stubborn personality, so she would admit defeat without a move, gritted her teeth and shouted: "Master, don't worry!"

The long sword casts shadows of multiple swords, turning against the enemy, attacking suddenly, throwing the sky and covering the sky at Xu Ziling, which is also full of power. Use your sword like a man, and your enemy with your sword. Xu Ziling's every movement and every word he said obeyed the edict of Yi Jianshu, and finally forced Sina to take the initiative to attack, saving a lot of effort. If she had been on the defensive, it might have been him who lost in three moves. In fact he is legally cheating. When drawing the saber, he took advantage of the situation to release the scorching energy of the "Secret of Longevity", and suddenly switched to Kou Zhong's method of "Secret of Longevity", turning heat into cold.Therefore, although a move has not been made, in fact it has already been done.If Sina lost in the momentum confrontation, then he would use all his strength to make a move under the traction of Qi, and he could win the victory with just one blow.

Sina was forced to take a step back by his saber aura. She had just stood firm, but she didn't know that the opponent could turn heat into cold, and she was in chaos. If she didn't counterattack, she had to retreat all the way.In the confrontation of momentum, she was completely defeated.He knew more clearly in his heart that he was definitely not Xu Ziling's opponent, but he just hoped to survive the three moves with the help of swordsmanship. In the competition between masters, if ambition is taken away, confidence is damaged, and skill is naturally greatly reduced, and Sina is falling into the trap carefully set by Xu Ziling. Regardless of intelligence or martial arts, the gap between the two is too far. Xia Miaoying raised her fly and followed Sina closely, intending to join the battle circle, but she was already a step too late.Xu Ziling took half a step back, and the knife in his right hand drew a beautiful arc in the air, and he slashed in the air with ease. It was as if Sina's sword energy had been sucked up by him at once, leaving only a formless feigned posture, as if she was going to rush to his knife to die, and her soul flew away, so there were still three moves left. In less than three moves, he quickly withdrew his sword and retreated. Xia Miaoying moved in and out of her, brushed past her, and the whisk brushed towards Xu Ziling with the strength of howling. Xu Ziling thought it was a fluke, and he borrowed a knife to perform the "Heavenly Demon Dafa", which was 30 to 40% similar to the imitation, and frightened this beautiful Miao girl full of exotic customs away without bloodshed. From Li Jing's "Ten Styles of Bloody Battle", "Soldiers' Impermanence", and Xia Miaoying's strongest point, "the escaped one", is swept away. "puff"! Xia Miaoying's dust fly was swept straight by him with a seemingly random knife, and all the subtle changes were sealed at the same time. A wave of saber energy that was full of resistance came through, and he groaned, although he was not convinced in his heart. To the extreme, there is still no way to be forced back. Xu Ziling's saber posture changed from "Impermanence in Soldiers" to the tenth "Jun Lin Tianxia" starting gesture, both offensive and defensive, controlling the opponent from a distance. With Xia Miaoying's ability, she also felt that attacking again in this disadvantageous situation would be the end of self-inflicted humiliation, so she retreated again for a while, giving up the idea of ​​counterattack. The two sides returned to the situation of confrontation at the beginning. Of course Xu Ziling wouldn't push people too far, he clasped his fists and said, "In this battle, Gong is not sure that he can defeat Sina Master in three moves, but he just uses the gadgets that he has realized for many years to take risks, is it right?" Still want to fight, grandma can decide with one word." These words can be said to give the other side enough face. Xia Miaoying exchanged glances with Sina, stomped her feet and said, "Failure is defeat, you don't need to speak well for us, let's go." After entering the door, there is a curved corridor across the pond and flower garden. Walk along the corridor, turn left and turn right, and look around. At the end of the curved corridor is a hexagonal stone pavilion, which is the center of the pond and is connected by a stone bridge to the corridor that circles the courtyard. The stone bridge points directly to another entrance, and it can be seen that there is another space in it, with towering old trees, dense and vigorous, and full of vitality. Kou Zhong walked through the stone pavilion, crossed the bridge and climbed the corridor, and passed through the second courtyard gate. At the end, there is a magnificent five-bay wooden building. A locust tree with a height of ten feet stands in the center of the courtyard. The towering towers cover the buildings and courtyards like umbrellas. Under the sunshine, there are green shades all over the place. They are integrated with the main building and set off each other into a jagged and majestic shape, forming a poetic picture. Feeling refreshed, Kou Zhong walked slowly around the pagoda tree to appreciate it enough, and then slowly climbed up the white stone steps of the building with the plaque engraved with the words "Modaotang". In the huge space of the Modao Hall, there is a person standing with his back to the door, without any weapons on his body, his body is as straight as a javelin, he is wearing a blue robe hanging down to the floor, standing as majestic as a mountain, his black hair is covered with a red scarf on his head Tie it into a bun, behind the back of the hands, without seeing the outline of the facial features, it has the aura of being invincible and looking down on the world. There are more than a dozen precious knives of different shapes hanging on the walls on both sides. On the other side of the door, there is a stalagmite-shaped, dark and smooth boulder, which is as high as a person's body. Add another indescribable meaning. For such an unconventional and daring person as Kou Zhong, facing this outstanding figure known as the world's top strategist, he was also a little trembling, and he saluted his back honestly: "Young Kou Zhong, pay respects to the lord!" A soft and pleasant voice replied: "You are late!" Kou Zhong was stunned and said, "I'm late?" Song Que turned around like a whirlwind, and said coldly, "You are at least a year late." Kou Zhong finally faced Qi Zhentianxia, ​​the opponent "Heavenly Sword" Song Que whom he had never met since his debut, the father of his sweetheart. Lei Jiuzhi chased after him and entered the cabin, Xu Ziling said displeased: "What are you doing here?" Lei Jiuzhi closed the door, blocking other people's eyes, approached behind Xu Ziling and said in a low voice, "Of course there is something important to discuss." Xu Ziling snorted coldly: "I didn't have any relationship with you before, and I won't have any in the future. Get out if you are sensible, otherwise don't blame someone Gong for being rude." Lei Jiuzhi smiled and said: "Brother Gong, don't try to scare me. You are cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and you are not a bully. As long as you listen to a few words from me, you will definitely change your mind about me." Xu Ziling turned to face him, nodded and said, "Answer me first, why did you force yourself to stand out just now?" Lei Jiuzhi's eyes sparkled, and he said in a deep voice, "Because you are wearing a mask made by my mentor." Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Brother Lei really has good eyesight. I don't know the name of your mentor Gao?" Lei Jiuzhi showed a bitter smile, and said dejectedly: "Although I regard Master Lu Miaozi as my teacher, he never admits that I am his apprentice. But the reason why Lei Jiuzhi has achieved today is all thanks to him." Give." Xu Ziling said calmly, "When did you see through that I was wearing a mask?" Lei Jiuzhi replied: "I just guessed it. My ears have been specially trained. Not only can I hear the subtle differences in the sound when the dice are rolled in the cup, but I can also eavesdrop on other people's speech from a long distance. When I I realized that you didn't know that Xia Miaoying was coming to confront you, so I guessed that you were not the real Gong Chenchun, but in fact you were a hundred times smarter than Gong Chenchun. So I deliberately walked behind you and carefully observed the appearance of your neck and face. Parting, I am sure you are wearing a mask. Only a mask made by Master Lu can be so flawless." Xu Ziling sat down on the chair by the window, and said calmly, "Since Mr. Lu never recognized you as an apprentice, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Lu?" Lei Jiuzhi sat down on another chair, showing nostalgia, and slowly said: "That happened more than 30 years ago. I was only fifteen years old at the time, and I was working as an errand in a casino in Guanzhong. One day, Lu Miaozi Came to gamble and won a lot of money with incomparable gambling skills. When he left, I ran after him and begged him to teach me how to win money. Alas! At that time, I thought he was just a cleverer man gamblers." Xu Ziling could imagine Lu Miaozi's reaction, and smiled, "What did he say?" Lei Jiu stroked his face with his fingers and said: "He slapped me on the face, and then he laughed loudly and said: Those who are eager for quick success and want to get rich by deceiving others will never become a master of gambling. Since I have slapped you, I will pass it on to you." Let’s use the two-character formula!” Xu Ziling believed Lei Jiuzhi at least 70% to 80% at this time.Because this is exactly the speaking style of the arrogant Lu Miaozi, he asked with great interest, "Those two words." Lei Jiuzhi sighed, "That's the word 'abstinence from greed'." Xu Ziling couldn't help laughing, and said, "Mr. Lu is amazing. What else can you say?" Lei Jiu pointed out: "I was speechless at the time, but Master Lu continued: "With my gambling skills, I can easily win such a casino. But I only won fifty taels and then left. This is quitting corruption." .Only those who can completely control their greed and insanity are qualified to win other people's money, so I am not lying." Xu Ziling sketched in his mind the expression of Lu Miaozi's speech at that time, thinking of the distance between heaven and man, in his heart A pain. Lu Miaozi's death did not bring him much sadness at the time, but whenever he remembered his voice and smile afterwards, his admiration grew day by day. He didn't dare to think about Susu, because it was too heavy and painful! Lei Jiuzhi's voice came into my ears and said: "When I thought Master Lu would abandon me, suddenly he came over and touched my head, muttering to himself: 'You have a very good pair of brats. Skull, eyes like elves, anyway, I'm looking for an assistant, you just stay with me for a while.' That's how it started. It was the happiest time of my life, he never taught me anything, but Prevent me from peeking and stealing lessons. It's a pity that it's only half a year. How is he?" Xu Ziling said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lu has already passed away." Lei Jiuzhi's long body trembled violently, tears streaming down his face.
