Jiangkou Town.
This place is not far from Wudang Mountain. It is named because it is located at the mouth of Yanjiang river.
This is a small town.
There are only hundreds of households and more than a thousand people in the whole town.
The vast majority of people in the town depend on fishing for a living.
The long street is uneven and full of loess.
A gust of wind blew, the smoke and dust were flying all over the sky, and a strong fishy smell came to my face.
There is only one medicine shop in the hospital.
Naturally, there is only one blacksmith shop.
"When..."
The blacksmith with strong arms is beating a weapon hard. The sweat on his face is evaporated by the high temperature before it falls.
Not far away, the storyteller in the tavern is shouting desperately to attract customers as much as possible.
"If the world is divided for a long time, it will be united, if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. If it is treated for a long time, it will lead to chaos, and if it is extremely chaotic, it will lead to governance. This cycle will continue."
"Time, life, number and luck!"
He said this opening speech very skillfully, but it was difficult to attract the people here.
Fortunately, great events have happened in Wudang Mountain recently, and there are many Jianghu people here.
A few idle guests gathered around.
Most Jianghu xias are forthright. The storyteller was shocked immediately and showed off his eloquence more and more.
"Yi..."
Put the red iron into cold water, which immediately aroused thick white smoke, and the cold water also boiled in an instant.
A moment later.
The blacksmith took out the iron piece, polished it casually, and threw it to a beautiful young man in front of him.
"The knife is ready!"
"Chenghui, two liang silver."
The thing in front of me is not so much a knife as a piece of iron that has been simply beaten.
The handle of the knife is two pieces of wood, which are tightly bound by hemp rope. An iron piece with a slight arc is the body of the knife.
As for the blade
If you like, you can use it as a blade!
"Two liang?"
Guo fan stroked the blade, but also bent his fingers and flicked the back of the blade: "it's expensive. It's agreed that it's one or two silver."
"You..."
The blacksmith stared at the movement of his hand, and his throat rolled. Then he smiled awkwardly.
"Yes, one or two, one or two silver!"
"You see, I can't remember anything. Don't be surprised, sir. Just say one or two!"
Although the knife is cold, the anger in it is not gone. What skin can carry it?
Anyway, the blacksmith didn't dare to touch it with his hands!
"Is this a knife?"
A clear and pleasant voice sounded. Even without looking back, we could hear her disdain.
"If this is also a knife, isn't your pig killing knife hanging on the wall a powerful weapon?"
"Little girl, you can't say that."
The blacksmith's face changed.
But it seems that a man's clothes are luxurious, his sword is hung around his waist, and there are even pearls on the scabbard. Obviously, it's not something he can provoke.
Then he said, "my guest is in a hurry. If you give me a few days of Kung Fu, it must be a good knife!"
"A good knife in a few days?"
The visitor smiled: "we Brokeback Mountain Villa dare not say that."
"Er..."
The blacksmith's face froze.
Obviously, he doesn't know the brokeback mountain villa, which is famous in the Jianghu and is famous for forging weapons.
But I can hear that this is a great place.
"Younger martial sister."
A man said, "there's nothing to argue with a blacksmith, but it's just a piece of scrap iron."
The man and woman who spoke came from brokeback mountain villa.
Cui Ying, the young daughter of the leader of Brokeback Mountain Villa, has a beautiful face. This is the first time she has come out to wander the Jianghu.
Man Zhao Jie, Cui Ying's senior brother.
He started his career with seven broken swords. He has wandered in the Jianghu for many years and has made little achievements in the younger generation.
"Otherwise."
Nearby, a middle-aged scholar who was drinking tea seemed to hear the conversation of several people and got up.
"The knife depends on whose hand it is."
"In the hands of some people, the treasure soldier is also scrap iron, but in the hands of another person, the scrap iron may also be a treasure knife."
Then he arched his hand at Guo fan.
"Boxing, it's late."
"No harm."
Guo fan turned around and fell on the scholar. His eyes moved slightly: "yes, really good!"
"Thank you for your compliment!"
Zhou Junfang smiled, then took out a book from his arms and handed it over.
"Fortunately, it's done."
"Oh!"
Guo fan took it and opened it. There were pictures and some words inside.
I Ching marrow washing skill!
This is the name given by Zhou Junfang.
Because of his advanced skills, he became one of the top experts in the Jianghu.
"Great!"
After Guo fan looked through it, his eyes changed again, and his praise was more sincere.
"Do you know?"
Cui Ying on one side saw that the two people looked strange and immediately looked like: "what's in here?"
"Younger martial sister."
Zhao Jie hurriedly pulled Cui Ying, covered her eyes with his hand, and nodded apologetically at them.
"Sorry, my younger martial sister is a newcomer and doesn't understand the Jianghu rules. Please forgive me."
"Oh..."
Guo fan smiled and returned the book to Zhou Jun's room.
"Where are you going next?"
"Sichuan Sichuan Road."
Knowing that Guo fan has the ability to never forget, Zhou Junfang put away his books and looked back into the distance.
"I've long heard that the scenery there is good, and it's Mr. Wang's former residence. I want to come here with outstanding people."
"Sichuan Sichuan Road is really good."
Guo fan nodded: "especially near Pinghu Lake, the scenery is excellent, but it's a pity..."
"No regrets."
Zhou Junfang's face showed Su Rong: "Sir, this trip must be OK. The scenery of Pinghu Lake is waiting at any time."
"Yes."
Guo fan leaned over, took a silver or two from himself, put it on the blacksmith's table, and tied the knife around his waist.
The knife has no sheath.
This kind of knife probably doesn't need a scabbard.
Knowing that the other party had made up his mind, Zhou Junfang also threw out a long spit and hugged his fist and arched his hand: "the Jianghu is far away, so goodbye. The mountains are high and the waters are long. I'll see you later!"
"See you later?"
Guo fan patted the long knife and smiled: "maybe!"
"You..."
Zhou Junfang's face changed slightly.
"Don't worry."
Guo fan naturally knew what he thought and immediately shook his head and said, "I just should go."
"Well, take care!"
"Take care!"
They bow their hands and say goodbye to each other.
"That..."
Cui Ying looked at Guo fan's back, bit her lips and hurried up.
"Brother, you should also go to Wudang Mountain? So do we. How about going together?"
"Younger martial sister!"
Zhao Jie was in a hurry.
"Didn't you agree not to go to Wudang Mountain? Let's just walk around here. It's too dangerous there!"
"You forget, it was because you promised not to go to Wudang Mountain that I promised to take you out."
"Where is it dangerous?"
Cui Ying looked disdainful: "experts from all over the world gather in Wudang. How can the Wuhou of that town be strong?"
"It's the king of Zhenwu."
Zhao Jie pointed out the loopholes in her words.
"King Zhenwu!"
Cui Ying nodded, then turned her eyes and said, "what about King Zhenwu? He's just a person. How many nails can he have all over his body?"
"So many Wulin experts rush up. No matter how high his martial arts are, he will be chopped into meat and mud in the blink of an eye!"
While talking, he made a good gesture.
At the same time, he looked at Guo fan and smiled: "brother, do you think it's reasonable?"
Guo fan stopped and thought seriously.
"That's not necessarily true."
"Why not?"
Cui Ying frowned and said, "if Wudang Mountain is really so dangerous, brother, how dare you go there?"
"I have an appointment. I have to go."
Guo fan sighed and said, "you two don't have to join the fun. After all, swords have no eyes."
"Yes, yes!"
Zhao Jie nodded repeatedly: "younger martial sister, you must not fool around. If something happens to you, how can I explain to the master?"
"Oh!"
Cui Ying opened her eyes and stared back: "elder martial brother, are you cursing me? I have to go!"
Then he accelerated under his feet and caught up with Guo fan in an instant.
"Brother."
She gently bit her lips, blushed and whispered, "my name is Cui Ying, the daughter of the leader of Duanjian mountain villa."
"Nickname... Called Moon Fairy."
"What do you call me, brother?"
“……”
Guo fan glanced at her, shook his head silently and walked on.
"Hey!"
"Younger martial sister, people don't want to talk to you."
"No!"
Cui Ying stamped her foot angrily: "elder martial brother, if you want to follow, I'll go to Wudang Mountain today!"
"Didn't you say it well just now?"
Zhao Jie also has a worried face.
Just now I said I would visit nearby. Why do I have to go to Wudang Mountain all of a sudden?
Before he could figure it out, Cui Ying had caught up with him again.
"Brother, I think you are outstanding, tall and straight. Everything is good, but you are a suitable weapon."
"Our broken sword mountain villa is famous for forging weapons in the Jianghu. If you want to, brother, I can ask my father to forge a weapon for you."
"My father is a famous forging master in the Jianghu. One of the ten famous swords today comes from him."
"There are also the double swords of the startling double swordsman, the lethal knife of the three-star lethal old man, and so on. They are all made by my father."
"As long as you show him your hand and measure it slightly, you can make a suitable weapon."
"Speaking of it, your skin is very good. Did you use any special methods to maintain it?"
"But it's not like the hand of a swordsman at all."
“…………”
"Younger martial sister."
Zhao Jie followed, stunned.
Even if he was slow, he could see that younger martial sister was thinking about others.
For a time, the heart can not help but give birth to a bitterness.
However, considering the man's appearance, it is understandable that no man is not jealous.
But
Younger martial sister is uncertain. She likes beautiful men now. When she gets old, she will know that she is stable and reliable.
Um!
That's it.
With Cui Ying's nagging, he was not lonely all the way.
Guo fan walked slowly, half of his mind remained on him, but some of his mind was on the marrow washing skill of the book of changes.
Like the nine character mantra, this skill should have existed since ancient times, but it was restored by Zhou Junfang.
This skill is extremely mysterious.
According to the Scripture, it seems that you can open the top wheel of the human body!
The so-called top wheel should be the ancestral orifice of Taoism.
As soon as the top wheel is opened, there are all kinds of magical powers, which can get heavenly ear communication, divine foot communication, heavenly eye communication and his heart communication.
This non martial category.
It can be regarded as a magic power!
Of course, most of the descriptions of Kung Fu have exaggerated, especially the Buddhist scriptures.
The so-called supernatural powers are nonsense.
But when the ancestral orifices are opened, they do have powers.
This is recorded in the records of the ancient duanzong, but even he has not reached that state.
It seems that it involves the realm of vigorous Qi and even congenital Qi.
This world is already the peak. Even Gang Qi has not been involved. Unexpectedly, there is a inheritance about the ancestral orifices in the eyebrow center.
Can it be understood that the development of martial arts has gone astray and directly crossed the vigorous Qi realm?
"Wudang Mountain is ahead!"
Cui Ying's voice interrupted Guo fan's thoughts.
Looking up, a towering mountain stands between heaven and earth. The top of the mountain is not above the white clouds.
It's freezing now.
The mountain is covered with white snow, the cold wind blows, the snowflakes fly and fluctuate like waves.
There are cranes in the mountains.
I think it's a different species in heaven and earth. This kind of weather can also fly in the air, and sometimes cranes make a few noises.
"Good mountain!"
"Good view!"
Guo fan spoke softly and shook his head gently.
"What a pity..."
"Don't be a pity."
Zhao Jie stepped forward quickly and shrunk his neck: "the situation here is wrong. Let's leave quickly."
"What's wrong?"
Cui Ying was stunned.
"There's no one nearby. Isn't that right?"
Zhao Jie was so anxious that he stamped his feet desperately: "this can't happen in Wudang Mountain in ordinary times."
"And..."
"Murderous!"
Guo fan looked up and smiled: "it's so murderous, but I don't know how many people moved to kill!"
"Of course."
Zhao Jie said anxiously, "the Wulin experts all over the world gathered together to kill the king of the town."
"Let's just listen to people afterwards. Don't rush over."
"Senior brother."
Cui Ying frowned: "you're really worthless!"
"Look at this brother."
She pointed at Guo fan and said, "brother, you don't even have a weapon. You dare to come!"
"And you..."
"How timid!"
"I... I'm worried about you."
Zhao Jie blushed and said anxiously, "younger martial sister, the king of Wu in that town is a great devil who likes to kill by nature."
"Let's go for safety!"
"I'm not going!"
Cui yingmeng waved her hand and gambled: "if you want to go, I'll go up the mountain and see with my own eyes what the King Wu of that town looks like."
"Brother, wait for me!"
With that, he quickly followed Guo fan and stepped up the stone steps at the foot of Wudang Mountain.
"Shua!"
Three cold awns hit at the same time.
With many years of experience in contact with weapons, Cui Ying
