Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 222
Snapped--

Just when Wen Yujie had almost dissuaded this small dispute in the tavern, suddenly, the door was pushed open again.

Accompanied by a gust of cold wind, another swordsman in Tsing Yi and holding a long sword broke in from the door.

This person is not tall and of medium build, with high brows, narrow eyes, and big nose and big ears. Generally speaking... he is not very good-looking, but the arrogance on his face is not ordinary, as if everyone A face like I owe him money.

Those who can walk around with such an expression on their faces are not just for nothing.

So who is he?

As the endorsement in the book here, this person is a very experienced doorman in Wujian Villa, named Wu Hongmao.

More than ten years ago, 25-year-old Wu Hongmao, like many young swordsmen, made a name for himself in the Jianghu world by relying on a passable set of swordsmanship and the enthusiasm of young people.

But soon, he also encountered a problem that most people who practice martial arts will encounter-although he is still very young, he has practiced the martial arts he is good at to the upper limit of what he can achieve.

What is "the upper limit he can achieve"?

It's very simple. In theory, martial arts itself has no upper limit, and those who have upper limits are only those who practice martial arts.

Let's just talk about Lin Yuancheng, even if he has finished all the known moves and realms in the set of "Seven Star Swordsmanship" taught by Fan Zhengting, he can still continue to open up new realms, so his upper limit is the same as Fan Zhengting's. different.

Why do some people practice the 28 Dragon Subduing Palms and can simplify them to the more refined Eighteen Palms in the end, and some people can barely practice the Eighteen Palms and cannot exert their maximum power?
Martial arts are the same martial arts, but the upper limit of people is different.

However, 99% of the people in this world belong to the latter.

When they have practiced a certain martial art to their "upper limit", if they continue to focus on this martial art to comprehend, the efficiency will become very low. high realm.

And at this time, letting them practice kung fu at a level similar to his current martial arts level will not greatly improve their martial arts realm, at most it will enrich his fighting methods in his current realm.

In other words, at this stage, if you want to improve your martial arts cultivation to a higher level, you must learn "better" kung fu than the one you are practicing now.

Seeing this, some people may ask, what should I do if I can't learn that kind of kung fu?

Does that need to be said?If you can't learn, you will be stuck in the current state, and you will never be able to improve. If everyone can practice, wouldn't the world be full of top masters?
Furthermore, when it comes to practicing martial arts, it is not necessary to be "first-rate", "super-first-rate", or even "absolutely top-notch".

If you just want to gain a foothold in the arena, second-rate skills are enough; what martial arts can't do, you can use "connections" to make up for it, make more friends as a backer, do more good deeds in exchange for fame... They are all ways of walking in the rivers and lakes, and sometimes they are even better than practicing martial arts.

People drifting in the rivers and lakes, whether they can have a good death or not, many times it is really not determined by the level of martial arts.

Some third-rate figures turned out to be wives and children, and lived the rest of their lives in peace after retiring from the world; while many super-first-rate, top-notch masters ended up dying terribly.

In the final analysis, martial arts can only determine [-]% of the final fate of people in the world, and [-]% depends on your character, wisdom, knowledge, social skills, acting skills and other abilities, and another [-]% depends on luck ——After all, your ten years of hard work may not be as good as the day when others fell off the cliff and found the old man.

Like most of us, Wu Hongmao doesn't have that kind of luck, nor does he have Lin Yuancheng's talent. If a mortal like him is not willing to be a second-rate person, he has to find a "connection".

And Wujian Villa is the way he found.

I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, but Xiao Zhun felt that Wu Hongmao's swordsmanship "has merit", so he kept him.

According to the Wujian Villa's rule of "seek the sword first, give up the sword", Wu Hongmao offered his swordsmanship in exchange for Xiao Zhun's advice, but after staying in the villa for a while, Wu Hongmao discovered some "hidden" things here. "Rules"——If you want Xiao Zhun to teach you more things, you can't just be an ordinary doorman, you have to be his minions.

Wu Hongmao didn't object to this, because he wasn't considered a gentleman in the first place; although he didn't leave any notoriety when he was in the rivers and lakes, he said one thing and did another thing.

Just like that, in a blink of an eye, Wu Hongmao has worked under Xiao Zhun for more than ten years.

Back then, Xiao Xuan...that is, Xiao Wuji had a falling out with his father and ran away, Wu Hongmao undoubtedly knew about it, but...he didn't dare to spread it to the outside world.

Right now, Wu Hongmao strode into the tavern, and saw Wen Yupick and Xiao Wuji standing by the counter at first glance, so he immediately looked at them, and said with a fake smile: "Oh ? Why are you here?"

Wen Yujie hadn't answered yet, Xiao Wuji sneered and replied in a very unfriendly tone: "I come whenever I want, can you control me?"

Being choked by the other party's words, Wu Hongmao's face first showed a bit of anger, but he seemed to think of something immediately, so he suppressed his anger, and said in a strange way: "Oh...you are right, I don't care; In this world, there are all kinds of people, and some people... He doesn't want things that belong to him when they are put in front of him, but when others want to take them, he runs out to grab them again. This is called having a temper ...Heh, ordinary people like us can't play with it."

Others could not understand what he said, but both Wen Yuzhai and Xiao Wuji understood.

That Xiao Wuji is also an unforgiving master, can he be ridiculed like this?Do you think you are Sun Yixie?

"Heh..." In the next second, Xiao Wuji gave a strange laugh, looking at Wen Yu in a pointed tone, and said, "Eh? Brother Wen, you said that in this world, strange things happen every year. , this dog has been raised for a long time, and it can actually talk, and it is also eloquent."

Wen Yuzhai is a gentleman, so he won't accept such obvious insults.

"You..." After Wu Hongmao heard this, although he was annoyed, it was not easy to get angry.

After all, the person in front of him is Xiao Zhun's son. Even though Xiao Xuan had unilaterally announced that he had severed ties with Xiao Zhun five years ago, Xiao Zhun had never said that he would not recognize him—one is the young master and the other is a dog leg. It's a life-and-death situation, who will the master lean towards in the end... Wu Hongmao can still count on this.

"Okay... let's wait and see..." Wu Hongmao's face twitched, he gritted his teeth and muttered these two times, and then he stopped chattering with Xiao Wuji and the others. He immediately looked away and glanced into the room, suddenly He raised his voice and shouted, "Dugu Yong! How long are you going to hide? I have received the news that you are here! If you are a man, come forward!"

When he yelled like this, Wen Yujie and Xiao Wuji also realized: Wu Hongmao will appear here at this moment, it has nothing to do with them, meeting them is just a coincidence, the person the other party is really looking for is the young master of the Jinling Sword Palace ——"Dragon Defeating Sword" Dugu Yong.

What is Wu Hongmao doing with Dugu Yong?

It's not a big deal, seeking revenge.

Where does hatred come from?

A brief summary is: more than ten years ago, when Wu Hongmao was still walking in the rivers and lakes, he met Dugu Yong by chance. The two were about the same age and both were swordsmen. Wu Hongmao wanted to discuss with this little brother.

As for Dugu Yong, he is quite a character. Facing the request made by this stranger, he answered six words very frankly: "Forget it, you are not worthy."

At that time, there were many other people from the rivers and lakes around, and Wu Hongmao was also at a young age, so he could bear it?
So, on that day, Wu Hongmao, out of impulse, forcibly "discussed" with the other party.

Before doing it, Wu Hongmao felt: I have been studying hard since I was a child, without a day's rest, my swordsmanship is not bad, this Dugu Yong is two or three years younger than me, even if his talent is a little higher than mine, The martial arts I practiced are a little bit better than mine, so I wouldn't have no chance, right?
After finishing the fight, he realized that he was thinking too much...

When he was insulted by language just now, there were many people around who spoke for Wu Hongmao, and everyone felt that Dugu Yong was too arrogant; at that time, if Wu Hongmao took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, said a few polite words and let it go, in fact, he would not It will be embarrassing, and others may think that he is a young man who is tolerant and generous.

But with this move, Wu Hongmao successfully experienced the so-called "not very harmful, but extremely insulting".

Duguyong didn't use his sword at all that day, and beat Wu Hongmao with a pair of silver chopsticks. After the beating, he said that Wu Hongmao ruined his mood for eating, and walked away without saying a word to others to step down.

Wu Hongmao could only get up silently from the squinting eyes of those around him, retrieve his sword, and leave in despair...

The humiliation that day was, to some extent, the catalyst for his determination to enter Wujian Villa.

Times have changed, although it has been more than ten years, but Wu Hongmao will never forget this "hatred". Now he heard that Duguyong actually came to the vicinity of Wujian Villa, that is, "ran to his land", Then he will naturally come to find his way back.

Wu Hongmao has been Xiao Zhun's dog leg for more than ten years in Wujian Villa, isn't it just for the purpose that one day he can become the character who is "no one in the eyes" in front of everyone?
At this moment when he shouted like this, Dugu Yong couldn't pretend that he didn't hear him, so after a short breath, Dugu Yong slowly stood up from that corner, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

It wasn't until Dugu Yong opened his mouth to reply to these words that all the quacks in the room turned their heads to look at him belatedly. It was only at this time that they suddenly realized that there had been an old man sitting in this room all along. man.

"Heh...you don't even know me?" Wu Hongmao thought to himself, the two became enemies more than ten years ago. He reminded again, "Master, I am Wu Hongmao, the 'armour-removing sword' who competed with you in the Yusheng Inn back then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on Dugu Yong's face didn't change much, but the other people in this room were blown away.

Because when Wu Hongmao was helping Xiao Zhun in these years, he also left a lot of achievements in the Jianghu. The masters who died under him did not have a platoon or a squad. Based on the strength of those people, Wu Hongmao is at least a first-class swordsman. .

However, Dugu Yong's response to him was just a very cold sentence: "I don't know, what can I do for you?"

"No! Recognize! Recognize!?" Nothing could make Wu Hongmao more angry than these three words.

His mood at the moment is like a crazy fan who has been chasing stars for more than ten years and has given everything he has for his idol. ?”

Xiao Wuji could bear to call Wu Hongmao a dog directly, but he couldn't bear Dugu Yong's "I don't know".

Wu Hongmao didn't say anything, he drew his sword and killed him with one stride.

The congestion in the store couldn't stop his attack at all. He passed through the narrow space between the tables and chairs with an extremely fast and delicate movement, and opened and closed with a move that contained all kinds of ingenuity and ingenuity. The changing sword style - "golden mink for wine", attacked Dugu Yong's heart.

A second later, Wu Hongmao's heart felt cold and he fell down.

If you say that in the past ten years, has he grown up?That's for sure, because this time...he forced Dugu Yong to draw his sword.

Of course, just like this, only he himself knows whether he can make him rest in peace.

"Ah! Ah - someone was killed!" After a short silence, Xiaoer was the first to shout out, and then ran out of the house.

The shopkeeper beat his chest behind the counter and said, "Oh...why am I so unlucky...another death."

Obviously, a lot of people died in the village these days, and for these ordinary people, they couldn't tell the difference between the death of an ordinary swordsman and the death of a disciple of Wujian Villa.

But... these quacks in the store knew what Wu Hongmao's death meant, so they didn't even eat their meals at the moment, and each of them put the meal money on the table, and started to eat in silence. Withdrawal outside the store...

Don't look at them just now, they were all arrogant and dry, bragging loudly in the store, really encountering something that they can't afford to provoke, this group of people is very fast.

Only Wen Yu picked them and they still stood there, unmoved.

In this way, about 1 minute later, when all the quacks in the store had slipped away, it was Sanziwang who was the first to go up, randomly picked an vacant table, sat there, and smiled. Said: "It's really good~"

"Heh..." Xiao Wuji took a look, and also laughed, and then he stepped forward in three steps and sat down next to King Three, "It's really good, there is a seat now, we can rest assured Sit down and have a drink."

At the same time, Lin Yuancheng took two steps towards Wen Yuzhao with a look of excitement, and whispered in his ear: "Young Master Wen, can you see him?"
