Passing through the Xingchanglong three-story wooden building, a large courtyard appears. To the right is the large kitchen, where waiters serving dishes come and go. The two people walking side by side headed towards the left wing; the four people behind just glanced casually, and there was nothing special about them.
When they arrived at Master Lu's house, except for the matchmaker who followed him in casually, everyone else was standing in front of the door, not knowing how to get in. I saw a butcher's knife on the head of the seat in the room, and things were in a messy mess. The most conspicuous thing is that every object in the room has obvious knife marks, and it is these knife marks that stopped the Jie brothers and Yan Yan from moving.
But seeing these knife marks include chopping, slashing, teasing and chopping, they are full of domineering power. In their eyes, there seemed to be a peerless swordsman dancing around in various wonderful sword moves, as if they were made in heaven. The energy of the sword can hurt people, and the moves of the sword can intimidate people. Just looking at these traces made the three of them hesitate to move forward. It seems that as soon as you step into the room, these sword attacks will come rolling in.
"The layout in your room is really special. Are you afraid that one day the chair will break and the bed will collapse?" Jack touched the chair and cut into half, and cut the various knife marks that were not broken. But Master Lu just rubbed his bald head and smiled: "My boss originally said that he would help me get some new ones. But I was afraid that one day I would get drunk again and chop him up with a butcher's knife, so I declined his kindness. Just replace it if it's really broken. Since few people come into my house, I don't need to worry about the appearance."
Take off the straw sandals on your feet and sit down. The matchmaker hurriedly poured tea. Jack was just taking a sip of tea when he glanced at the three people still standing outside the door. "Why don't you come in? That's not how a doorkeeper blocks the door."
The three of them rolled their eyes. Yan Yan first swayed her body, took unusual steps, and walked sideways through the door. He ducked all the way to the front of the seat, then took off his shoes and sat down on the seat. The Jie family brothers each showed their footwork and moved around before struggling to get to the seat. Looking at the appearance of the three people, except for the matchmaker who showed a puzzled look, the other two smiled slightly, of course, their smiles were different.
"Jack, where did you find these three courtyard helpers? You can't walk well, but you have to wander around."
The cup stuck to his mouth, but Jack didn't move. He just raised his eyes and thought about it. "Who knows, I wasn't the one teaching them how to walk."
"Haha~" "Haha~" A bald man and a drunkard looked at each other and laughed. Master Lu rubbed his head again. "But these little guys are pretty good. It took me more than thirty years to reach the same level as them now." At this time, there were three or two waiters preparing a table of delicious dishes and spinning a pot. Good wine will come later. The two of them took turns serving the wine.
As soon as she was relieved, Yan Yan immediately hit the snake on the stick and said with a smile: "I don't know the name of the senior, but can I give some advice to the junior?"
"Look at how sweet you are," Master Lu threw his head back and laughed. "My surname is Lu, with the single word "Zhong". Don't call me "big brother" if you have a sweet mouth."
"Brother Lu~" Yan Yanni called, making Lu Zhong laugh. Jack on the side also smiled: "Are you ashamed? How old are you? This girl is more than enough to be your granddaughter." He just asked the matchmaker to fill the empty wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Lu Zhong wasn't too concerned about Jack's words. He smiled to himself and said, "Okay, okay. This big brother calls me so sweetly, so I have to tell you something. What kind of weapon does the girl use? Let's take it out and have a look."
The jade hand pressed lightly on the belt and jerked towards the deserted area. Hearing the sound of "Zheng!", he saw a cold and oppressive air. Yan Yan smiled and handed the Ruanjian forward with both hands. Lu Zhong took the Ruanjian with a flash of appreciation in his eyes, "Good sword, good sword," and then sighed. "It's a pity, it's a pity."
"Brother, what's the pity?" Yan Yan asked, widening her round eyes in confusion. Lu Zhong just smiled: "The sword is a good sword. It is forged by a famous master and tempered hundreds of times. It is very suitable for the girl's skill and habits. If you learn the sword with it, you will have no disadvantages. It's a pity that you encounter a weapon obstacle."
"Weapon barrier?" The doubts in Yan Yan's heart only became more, not less. He held the tip of the sword with both fingers and made three circles. As soon as he released his hand, the sword blade returned to its original shape. Lu Zhong, who was looking at the interesting look, continued: "Looking at the level of doubts and thoughts that the girl has, it seems that this weapon obstacle has been encountered recently. I wonder what the opportunity was recently that led to this obstacle?"
After thinking for a while, Yan Yan told her about watching the moon at Nanyue Lake a few days ago. From then on, there was always a doubt in her heart that she couldn't solve. When Lu Zhong heard this, he laughed and scolded Jack who only cared about drinking. "You're a bastard. You only care about coaxing children, and you don't have anything to say about five, four, and three."
"I..." Lu Zhong threw the jug at Jack, "Eat your wine, eat your wine." The person who took the jug didn't take it seriously and poured himself a full glass.
Handing back the soft sword in his hand, Lu Zhong drank the contents of the cup, and then Yan Yan filled it up. "Weapons are mortal and dead things, but people are not the same as weapons. If a person succumbs to the sword, then the extreme of the thing will limit the extreme of the person, and the development will come to a standstill or be extremely slow. It is true to use the sword to nourish people. A good prescription and a quick method, but it is more likely to encounter obstacles with weapons. This is why although the Yan family has been one of the four famous martial arts masters for a long time, there are few great masters who stand out from the crowd. In addition, as the reputation grows, bad habits The more you do, the sooner or later you will reach a dead end."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Yan was shocked. She still hasn't reported her name, how did Lu Zhong know it? I wanted to ask, but the person who spoke was minding his own business and said: "It is not difficult to get rid of this weapon barrier. You can abandon your troops and forget about them, thus entering the realm of no soldiers." After that, he rubbed his hands again. His own bald head. "Although I say this, it does not mean that people should not use swords and swords. It is that everything is a sword, and everything is a sword. Pick up a piece of straw or a sword, and you can exert 100% of your skill. , this is the ultimate realm of the Sword Master."
He paused and took a sip of wine to moisten his throat. Before Yan Yan could think about it carefully, Lu Zhong spoke again: "But when two people with the same cultivation level fight against each other, of course the person holding the sword is more advantageous. A soldier's hands and feet are extended and he has a pair of harder fists. Of course, in a fight The chance of winning is relatively high. You are just insisting on the bullshit that "no sword is better than having a sword". He who thinks he is in line with the way of heaven is just a fool. Look at me and knock him down to the mortal world. The state of abandoning self-grasping is like grass facing the wind. Pay attention to it. 'Make good use of', rather than 'have or have nothing', this is what smart people do."
After saying this, Yan Yan was confused and even the Jie family brothers were thoughtful. However, Lu Zhong just took a sip of wine, as if thinking of something, and interrupted the three people who were confused and wanted to ask questions. Look at Jack who is drinking and eating. "Speaking of sword masters and swordsmen and swordsmen, where is my sword? Jack."
"Knife?" Jack put down the wine glass that had just touched his lips and thought about it seriously and hard. Lu Zhong looked at it and laughed and cursed: "You little bird hozen took my Jue Tian Sword and Lan Meiren's Tian Jue Sword, and made a big name outside. But you cut me and Lan Meiren in half, calling me What is the Sword Master? Heavenly Sword Jue Dao. I fought with Lan Meiren for more than ten times, no matter who won or lost. Even though I lost to you, a hairless boy, you, a bastard, ranked me at the bottom. What's your plan? ."
"Oh! The sword is lost. Besides, don't you think it's easier to pronounce Sword Master Tian Jian Jue Dao? It's called Jue Tian Dao Tian Jue Sword Sword Saint, or Sword Saint Jue Tian Dao Tian Jue Sword. Don't you Do you find it difficult to speak? It's not a tongue twister. You can eat grapes without spitting out grape farts."
"Lost it! It really seems like something you would do. That's it, that's it!" Lu Zhong shook his bald head gently. "It's a pity about that knife. I really miss the scoundrel inside."
It seems like a bunch of very familiar names? Jie Liang began to think about it in his heart. He recited a rhyme smoothly: "Sage among saints, the sword of heaven is absolutely perfect; evil among evil, sword...jue...tian..." He quickly raised his head and stared at the bald man sitting in front of him. The evil sword that swept through the southeastern martial arts world more than ten years ago was also called Lu Zhong! The Sword Master Tianjian Juedao is one of the seven warriors who is famous in other places. Although this name is not famous in the southeast, he is also the number one person that the elders in the family remind him to pay attention to.
"Oh~ there are still people who remember that jingle. I thought Jianghu had forgotten that such a thing happened." Lu Zhong drank the wine in one gulp. Jie Liang was surprised and said: "It is said that the two masters of good and evil failed in the battle on Tianmen Jingshan more than ten years ago, and their whereabouts are unknown since then. The senior is really the evil sword, the ultimate sword Lu Zhong!"
"Rumors! Rumors!" Lu Zhong laughed. "I have good hands and feet in front of you, but you have to believe the rumors. It's a joke!"
"Is the eldest brother really the evil sword from the past? Why?" Yan Yan asked in confusion.
"Why?" Lu Zhong raised the cup and let Yan Yan pour the wine. He took a sip and thought for a while. "Oh~ I remembered it. A long time ago, Lan Meiren had a Tian Jue Sword in her hand, which violated the name of my Jue Tian Sword. I forced her to change it, but she refused to change it. Later, some hozens who claimed to be well-known and upright looked at her a little bit. She was so beautiful that she was regarded as the best chivalrous woman in the martial arts world. My anger increased with the alcohol, and I slaughtered eleven villages in a row, calling myself the evil sword. Some genuine evil spirits were not happy to use my name as the evil sword. After being killed indiscriminately for a while, no one dared to object. In addition, due to the rampant nature of Jue Tian Sword, I called myself an evil person and acted more and more extreme. Thinking about it at that time, it was really nonsense." Lu Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head. Shake his head.
"That's bullshit, hahaha." Jack smiled softly, holding the contents of the cup high and looking up to the sky. "One should not waste one's youth in arrogance. One should do nonsense while one is still young."
"You can't teach children bad things! If you do it irreversibly, it will be too late! At least you should know how to control yourself."
"Haha, that's right." The two of them smiled and encouraged each other to drink. The matchmaker on the side hurriedly filled the bottomed wine glasses for the two of them.
Seeing Jack and Lu Zhong looking so contented, the heirs of the two martial arts families suddenly knew why they were following them. If asked what qualities of Jack attract them, it would be these four words: "returning to simplicity". In the olden days, how many elders of the martial arts world could still smile sincerely even after becoming famous? Most of them look like the smellier the face, the higher the skill.
However, I still had more questions than I knew. Just when I was about to ask questions, my thoughts were interrupted by the noise outside. However, the two "seniors" in front of them didn't care much and kept talking to themselves.
"By the way, I forgot to ask why you came to me?"
"It's been nineteen years, don't say you've forgotten everything."
"Yes~ It's been so long."
"Bump!" The door that was kicked open fell into pieces and fell on the ground everywhere. It was also such a sound that made everyone in the room turn their heads to look at the door. The two men were seen majestic and arrogant, standing at the door of the room, with warrior orders of ninety-seven and ninety-three hanging on their bodies. The courtyard outside was even more crowded with people.
A man emerged from the crowd, carrying a pair of male and female swords on his back. He has a rough and heroic feeling, but you can detect a hint of meticulousness in his simple clothes and eyes. He also stood at the door of the room, glanced inside, and first bowed. "Everyone here, please forgive me if I have offended you. This time I am just trying to resolve the grudges between my eldest brother and my youngest brother and the lives of 317 people. Unfortunately, the Mingjian Villa has no talent, so I can only invite my colleagues from all over the world. Let's fight against our enemies together. I also hope that those who have nothing to do with it will clean themselves up and take care of themselves."
"Mingjian Villa?" Seeing the matchmaker hurriedly holding up her sword to block the front, Lu Zhong tried to remember: "I heard that the murder case at Mingjian Villa was reported recently, and the perpetrator was a blond and blue-eyed outsider,── "Moving his gaze towards Jack who was drinking. "─The weapon he used to wear was a copper fishing rod made of twisted silkworm silk. He also carried a fish basket and a 13-pound black iron wine jar to pretend to be a fisherman. Behind him were two men and two women, with strange looks and abnormal skills. Jack, why do we look so much like you?"
"Isn't it me~"
"Hahahaha~" "Hahahaha~" The two of them raised their heads and laughed knowingly, making the others so angry that they were all angry. Jack also lifted up the fishing rod and wine jar beside him. "The copper fishing rod made of twisted silkworm silk and the thirteen kilogram black iron wine jar. These two things are really so good. I had already pawned them in the shop and exchanged them for wine. Rumors just like to gossip."
The sound of a cannon was heard, and it broke through the earthen wall of the house. Blade-wielding thugs rushed in from all around, preparing to capture the target in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, they misjudged the cultivation level of everyone inside, and the two brothers of the Jie family immediately faced two hooded thugs. The Baguazhang rolled up and down, knocking down intruders one after another. Yan Yan took her Fei Yan Sword and saw that the sword moved lightly and closely. The matchmaker was also throwing things away while she was busy unsheathing her sword with her other hand and facing every opponent who came to attack.
"Don't do something stupid, or leave quickly if you are going to die! You can't resist the other two people in the room!" Jie Qi temporarily put aside the sword and hammer, shouting because he couldn't bear to see the scene of a pool of blood again. "Let's go! Let's go quickly!"
"Ah! Jack ran away." Yan Yan continued smoothly. The others were stunned when they heard this, and each received a lot of punches.
Everyone quickly turned around and saw Jack holding a fishing rod and wine jar, being carried away by Lu Zhong like a chicken. Jumped over the low wall and went straight out to the main street of Hui'an Town. The owner of Shi'er Village glared at the four people who were staying in place, and then led the people to rush out of the door, making sure to intercept the two who escaped.
A group of martial arts elites ran out of the Xingchanglong Hall, or followed the footsteps of the escapees and jumped out of the low wall. There were only a few innocent people left who had been punched a few times and were left weak in place. Jie Liang walked over and inspected everyone's wounds. "I'm really sorry for causing you all such trouble." Followed by Jie Qi and Yan Yan. As for the matchmaker, she also rushed out and followed Jack's footsteps.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." A dignified old man waved his hands. Jie Qi and Yan Yan also wanted to help others, but the other guys didn't appreciate it. The shopkeeper next to him said: "Master, why would Master Lu make friends with such people..."
Interrupting the shopkeeper's words, the old man pointed outside: "Don't talk about this anymore. It's better to go outside and take a look. The matter is not over yet."
A group of people supported each other and walked outside. When passing by the Xingchanglong Hall, I saw only messy tables and chairs standing vertically. When they walked to the street outside the store, Jack and Lu Zhong stood proudly in front of the intersection, ignoring the crowds around them.
Seeing the people walking out of Xingchanglong, Lu Zhong just bowed. "My boss, thanks to you for taking care of me in the 14th winter, it seems that it's time for me to leave. A Niu has a 99% chance of not learning all the skills. He relies on word of mouth from the gourmets, and his business is booming. I still think it's a good thing. We say goodbye today. I don't know when we will meet again. Please accept my worship." After saying that, he prostrated to the ground and looked at the hundreds of swords and weapons surrounding him as if they were nothing.
One of the people in the crowd came forward with a knife and yelled: "Bald thief, it's none of your business right now, so don't interfere!"
The two people who were surrounded didn't care much about the yelling and commotion outside. Jack just glanced at the faces, speaking with disdain. "If you want to beat me, beat me. Why are you tearing me out?"
"That's not what you're saying. I won't feel sorry for breaking things inside, let alone forcing my boss to dispose of one or two hundred corpses. If you really do this, will anyone in Xingchanglong dare to come to the door?" Lu Zhong rubbed his bald head and laughed.
The master of Shier Village, who was walking forward, cupped his hands and clasped his fists. "Who are you? We are only talking about personal vendettas here, and we don't want to hurt innocent people."
Lu Zhong smiled arrogantly as he took out the butcher knife that was stuck in his belt before leaving. "In the past, I used the name of my knife as a nickname. The knife is no longer there, and I only have this butcher knife in my hand, so call me Lu Zhong, the pig butcher knife!"
"Then what should I do?" Jack took a sip of wine and sealed the mouth of the altar. "Is it possible to call me a sword master who rots fishing rods and breaks wine jars?"
"Hahahaha~" "Hahahaha~" The two of them raised their heads and laughed wildly. I saw two people running out of the crowd, each rushing toward Jack and Lu Zhong.
No one knew when the laughter stopped. They could only see that Jack had taken off a human head. The headless body still ran forward for a few steps before falling to the ground. On the other side, the shadows of knives flew everywhere, red rain fell everywhere, and the hands of the people who rushed towards him were cut into bones. The standing man shouted to the sky and grabbed the earth, blood was flowing, and the bones of his hands were hanging by his side, as if he had developed this kind of virtue since he was born. But the screams stopped immediately. Jack threw the head in his hand and smashed the screaming head.
"Really, if you want to kill, kill thoroughly. It's really not interesting." The man who was a swordsman complained, but the other man just rubbed his bald head. "I'm so used to killing pigs that I almost forgot how to kill people. I'll change it next time, change it next time."
"Bone-Eating Knife!" A knowledgeable person in the crowd shouted when he saw the knife skills of the hand that was used to cut flesh and bones. Others also remembered one after another the martial arts weirdo who disappeared more than ten years ago and had the same skills. Upon seeing this, Master Shi Er managed to stop the commotion from everyone. "Could it be that you are Lu Zhong, the evil sword from more than ten years ago?"
"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" Lu Zhong laughed, but invisibly hinted that he recognized the identity of this evil sword, and was vaguely proud of it. Master Shi Erzhuang just wanted to answer, but he couldn't suppress the commotion of the crowd. He only heard someone shouting: "Everyone can kill the evil devil with his crooked ways! Don't escape this thief!" A crowd of people rushed forward to kill him.
I could see that the butcher knife in Lu Zhong's right hand was like the wind blowing on numbness, constantly cutting every inch of the meat on the edge of the knife. On the other side, Jack's methods were no gentler than Lu Zhong's. His left hand only protected the wine jar, but the fishing rod in his right hand was sharper than the golden blade of an ordinary giant axe. Every time a person passes by, there will be traces of blood that penetrate the bones.
A one-sided killing began in broad daylight. The two people standing in the middle of the street did not move their legs. As long as someone came close, they would not be able to escape completely! The sight of this made the onlookers feel dizzy, and they simply couldn't imagine that those bright red things put together could be a human being.
Gradually, no one dared to rush forward anymore. Everyone just stood outside of Jack's fishing rod and looked at each other. The two people's feet in the middle of the street were like a sea of blood, with broken bones and flesh everywhere. There were still other people around, except for the four people who were following Jack, most of the others who didn't dodge were stunned on the spot and couldn't move.
"What's wrong?" Jack licked his bright red upper lip and smiled lightly. "Why don't you continue? I'm still alive and well."
Master Shi Erzhuang put his hands behind his back, but he was not as calm as before. Gritting his teeth and staring at the two evil stars in front of him, he slowly drew out the male sword on his back. But when he saw the starlight flashing across the blade, Lu Zhong secretly praised the sword in his heart. But Jack only snorted and laughed twice.
"Shi Er asked for advice with Yinhuo Sword!" After saying that, he mustered up his energy and stepped forward. The fire sword in his hand stabbed straight with an irreversible momentum. However, he was struck by the tip of the fishing rod and hit the blade of the whip, which caused most of his momentum to be reduced.
Guarding against the incoming pole tip, Master Shi Erzhuang took a step back to block, but the pole tip did not directly catch the blade, and changed direction to attack directly again. It can be seen that each pole and sword can be used for offense and defense. It's a pity that every time the fire sword moves forward, the blade will be hit by the whip and forced to retreat several steps; every time it is blocked, the fishing rod can always change its angle and direction and attack in unexpected places. I saw one person hurriedly playing with the fishing rod, while the other person was squatting on the ground, playing with the fishing rod boredly.
The squatting sword master yawned greatly. Hearing a tiger roar, Shi Er held up his sword and rushed toward Jack regardless of the whip he was aiming at his fishing rod.
Turn your wrist slightly and touch the tip of the pole to the ground. Having spotted the gap, Jack used a clever move to make the fishing rod bounce towards Yinhuo Sword. Hearing the sound of "Clang!", the fire sword broke into two pieces and came out. Everyone was stunned and watched as the fire sword fell back to the ground with a clanging sound. Jack didn't even answer. The fishing rod in his hand only drew a circle in the void and swept towards Master Shier.
Its momentum is fierce and unstoppable. The owner of Shi'er Village lowered his waist and quickly rolled out of the range of Jack's fishing rod. His body was also covered with a lot of blood and he was in a miserable state.
"What a waste of a good sword." Lu Zhong commented irresponsibly. Jack didn't care much and just smiled.
Looking at the broken sword lying in a pool of blood, Master Shi Er had mixed feelings in his heart. Looking back at the people in charge of the house, they all signaled their departure with their eyes. Jack just dropped the fishing rod in his hand, opened the bottle of wine and drank, without any intention of going forward to fight. In desperation, I had to shout and retreat. These two demons cannot be dealt with today!
"Aren't you going to chase him?" Lu Zhong wiped the butcher knife in his hand with his sleeve. Jack, who swallowed a large gulp of wine, just turned back and walked in the direction of the matchmaker. "Why should I chase them?"
