Chapter 13
The moon is dark, the wind is high and the rain is heavy.

There were no common people on Ranfang Street, and the few shops were closed. Only the patrolling officers and soldiers were left to catch the fast, occasionally passing by with lanterns in the rain.

Ye Jingtang took advantage of the oiled paper umbrella and walked slowly on the dark road, while Niao Niao was on his shoulders, "chi chi chi chi...", probably muttering, "It's better to be sister Xiaoximelon, poached eggs don't please Niao Niao ..." and so on.

Ye Jingtang touched Luo Nv Xia for a long time just now, and his heart was full of turmoil, but he didn't recollect it while walking, but pondered the moves that Luo Ning had just taught.

Martial art is something that never changes. Although it cannot be said that "one method can master all methods", the logic will not be too bad.

Ye Jingtang used to practice martial arts in the Escort Bureau, he always pursued "similarity" in appearance, he was powerful, he paid attention to routines of breaking moves, and he didn't think about "spirituality".

As for 'luck', the adoptive father didn't teach it, he didn't even know there was such a thing in the world.

But it seems wrong to say that the adoptive father deliberately hid him from him. The adoptive father cared about him very much since he was a child. It is impossible for the adoptive father to abuse him intentionally by beating him three times a day to squeeze his physical strength.

Since his adoptive father had built him up so well, he must have wanted him to become a talent. He never taught him sword skills until his death. It can only be said that his adoptive father did not want to hand it over to him for some reason.

why not teach...

Afraid that he would get into trouble for this?

Or it has already been taught, he has not discovered the mystery before...

Ye Jingtang seriously recalled the "movements" taught by his adoptive father. There were only a few moves before and after. They were all basic skills. Before, he only focused on strength and speed, and did not study the inner parts.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingtang stood in the rain, moved the saber to his waist, held the handle upside down with his left hand, and recalled the movement of drawing the saber in his mind; and compared the fate of "Fourteen Hands on the Cloud".

Copying is definitely not enough. He just came into contact with "luck" and found that "luck" is related to acupuncture points, muscles, breathing, posture and almost all aspects of the body.

The changes that can occur at each step increase geometrically. It is impossible for anyone to try all the paths. They can only follow the guidance of the "movement" to find out the veins of luck that this move should have.

It is extremely difficult to create a 'movement' out of thin air; but Ye Jingtang, standing still in the rain, soon discovered that the sword-drawing movement taught by his adoptive father seemed to be the starting point of the 'movement'.

The "movement" only has the beginning, and the back is all blank. If you want to perfect this knife, you have to explore the path of luck yourself, and "add bricks and tiles" to this knife...

Ye Jingtang deliberated for a moment, closed his eyes in the rain, based on the beginning of Yifu's teaching, and ended with the knife, deduced the middle process based on his feelings, and imagined how to use this starting move as a starting point to maximize the lethality of the knife technique change……

Da da da--

Soybean-sized raindrops hit the umbrella surface and then slid down the umbrella ribs.

Niao Niao stood on his shoulders, at first he was a little dazed, but after waiting for a quarter of an hour, his eyes gradually turned into panic—Tangtang seemed familiar!
I saw Ye Jingtang, who had closed his eyes for a long time, the blood vessels in his right hand slowly swelled, and some raindrops fell on the back of his hand, which quickly evaporated into a light white mist.

In this scene, first the back of the hand, then the left arm, and then the whole body, even the forehead has blue veins, and a faint mist rises.

call--

Amidst the rain, a rush of heat appeared out of thin air.

The raindrops falling from the umbrella obviously shifted, as if they were moving with the wind, and the center of the wind was the Nightmare under the umbrella.

buzzing-

After an unknown period of silence, the long blade in the scabbard made a low humming like a dragon's chant, like a hidden dragon trapped in a deep pool, and began to stare at the mouth of the pool.

Qianlong quickly accumulated his aura to the extreme, and before the cold pool could not bear it, his body bounced up, like a dragon coming out of the water, straight into the sky!

choke-

On the silent long street, a cold light flashed across.

The rain curtain all over the street seemed to be disturbed by something, and it was pushed out a little.

The cold light flashed away, but in an instant, the street returned to calm.

Ye Jingtang was still standing still in the rain holding an umbrella, holding the handle of the knife upside down in his left hand, and the long knife was sheathed, as if it had never moved.

And not far away, an old locust tree with a thick waist made a soft sound of "咔咒——" in the wind and rain.

Soon, the old pagoda tree could not withstand the wind and rain, and it was broken from the middle and collapsed to the side.

boom -

After a muffled sound, the old pagoda tree fell to the ground.

The raindrops fell on the brand new cracks in the roots, like dripping on the mirror surface, and slid away sideways, not catching half of the waterdrops!

"grumble!"

Niao Niao was shocked.

Ye Jingtang opened his eyes under the umbrella, turned his head to look at the fallen locust tree, and admired in his eyes:

"The "Eight-Step Crazy Sword" is really powerful. It seems that the adoptive father has no secrets... But it is enough to teach it directly. I have to worry about what I want to do? Isn't it superfluous..."

Ye Jingtang came to the locust tree, looked carefully at it for a while, and then with some doubts, he scraped the gap, left Ranfang Street, and came to the nearby market.

Niao Niao was frightened just now, "twittering—" kept jumping back and forth, and didn't settle down until she bought a box of jerky for it.
-
Soon, Ye Jingtang returned to Shuanggui Lane again, carrying two oiled paper bags and an earthen pot in his hand.

The courtyard was silent, but there were lights.

Ye Jingtang pushed open the courtyard door with his shoulder, and before he could close the door, he found a little bamboo hat standing behind the door, staring at him with a knife handle in his hand:
"Why have you been out for so long?"

Ye Jingtang threw the oiled paper bag to Zhe Yunli:

"There are no restaurants in Ranfang Street, you expect me to run back and forth?"

Zheyunli took the oiled paper bag and opened it, and saw that there were several roasted sweet potatoes inside, nodded slightly:

"Well~ you're quite..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Because Ye Jingtang entered the house with the earthen pot, put it on the bedside, opened the earthen pot, inside was steaming black-bone chicken soup, and came with bowls and chopsticks; and inside the oiled paper bag was hot steamed buns just out of the oven.

? ?
Zhe Yunli was stunned, and looked at the dark roasted sweet potato in his hand:
"Hey? Why are you treated differently when you buy food?"

"You don't have long legs, or do you have no money in your pocket? Do you really think of yourself as a rich lady?"

Zheyunli opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

Luo Ning was already sitting on the bed. Seeing Ye Jingtang come back, she couldn't help but think of the bullying she suffered just now, but she couldn't show it in front of Yun Li, and greeted her softly as usual:

"Yunli, and you, come over and eat together."

"Master, you can eat, don't worry about us."

Zhe Yunli stood at the door, stared at Ye Jingtang for a moment, then gnawed a big mouthful of roasted sweet potato:
"You are sensible and know how to take care of others. Seeing that you are so sensible, this girl will help you, and from now on you will hang out with me and my wife, and you will be allowed to walk sideways in the rivers and lakes."

Ye Jingtang handed the steamed buns to Luo Ning, came to the door, put his hands on the door frame and looked down at Zhe Yunli:
"Big fart girl, and learning how to mess around with other people. I have to rescue your teacher and wife, and I have to buy food for you. If you hang out with you, you won't be hungry for nine meals in three days?"

Zhe Yunli took the sweet potato, took a step back, stood on the threshold, and looked at Ye Jingtang:
"Do you know who this girl is?"

There were no chairs in the room, so Ye Jingtang sat down directly on the threshold:
"A thief who breaks into a private house and eats and drinks. Is it a bird?"

Niao Niao squatted in front of her, with a small jerky box in front of her, while she buried herself in cooking, she said "chi chi..." twice, sounding disapproving.

After all, Ye Jingtang touched Little Watermelon sister for so long, and didn't care about a meal, so what's the difference from a prostitute?
"Don't worry, this girl will pay you money."

Zheyunli also made it beside him, picked up the jerky from the bird's rice bowl and threw it into his mouth.

"grumble?!!!"

Ye Jingtang waited for Zheyunli to chew and eat slowly, then frowned:

"You two seem to be living a hard life, you can even eat rat meat..."

Niao Niao nodded cooperatively.

Zheyunli's expression froze, and his face that could be broken by blows and bullets turned green at that moment. He wanted to vomit, but felt ashamed, so he grabbed the handle of the knife:
"You little thief, today I must..."

Luo Ning, who was drinking soup on the bed, finally couldn't stand it anymore, frowned and said:
"Yunli, he deliberately teased you. This bird is very smart. How could he be willing to feed rats. No vendor is free enough to make rats into jerky and put them in boxes."

Zhe Yunli didn't believe it, picked up another piece of jerky, and fed it fiercely into Ye Jingtang's mouth:

"eat!"

Ye Jingtang was quite surprised, he opened his mouth to catch it, and before Zheyunli was relieved, he nodded in approval:

"I didn't see it, but I'm quite good at serving people."

These words annoyed everyone in the room.

How could Luo Ning ignore her when she was joking, but she turned her head and flirted with Yunli just now, how could she bear it?
"Little thief! Try talking nonsense again?"

Holding the spoon, Luo Ning straightened her waist, showing her glamorous temperament.

With the backing of his mistress, Zhe Yunli raised his chin slightly and stared.

Ye Jingtang knew that the joke had gone too far, and raised his hand to signal:

"Okay, I won't talk anymore, let's eat and eat."

Only then was Zhe Yunli satisfied, showing two small canine teeth, a mouthful of dried meat and a mouthful of sweet potato, completely ignoring the bird who was slamming her sleeve in her mouth:

"You're young, you're still glib... What's your name? Where are you from?"

"Yejingtang, people from Liangzhou."

Ye Jingtang carried the fried-feathered Niao Niao to his leg and asked:

"You two women, who are you coming to the capital to save?"

"A senior who taught me how to use swordsmanship was arrested by the black yamen, Qiu Tianhe, have you heard of it? Last year I was studying under Qiu Daxia, and a spies betrayed him. In order to let the juniors including me get away, I guarded the mountain gate by myself and did not escape, and then I was arrested..."

Qiu Tianhe...

Ye Jingtang recalled a little, and really heard of this name——I used to practice martial arts with my adoptive father. When my foster father was drunk, he liked to talk about the outside world, and mentioned "Tianhe Sword" Qiu Tianhe a few times , the reviews are quite positive.

"It is said that he is a hero in the Jianghu, his righteousness is thin, but he doesn't know much. Very powerful?"

Zhe Yunli broke the remaining sweet potato into two halves, and handed half to Ye Jingtang:
"Low and ignorant~ You must have heard of the 'Three Heroes of Yunze' 30 years ago, right?"

Ye Jingtang gnawed on the sweet potato: "The three outstanding youths in Yunzhou and Zezhou?"

Zheyunli was a little dazed, but still nodded:

"It's a strange statement, but it's almost the same. 'Yunze' refers to the big lake near Junshantai. Because of the name of the 'Knife King' Xuanyuan Dynasty, young swordsmen all over the world like to hang out in Zezhou. The most outstanding 30 years ago The three young swordsmen are: "Tianhe Sword" Qiu Tianhe, "Dragon Slaying Order" Xuanyuan Tiangang, "Eight-step Mad Saber" Zheng Feng. The three are both enemies and friends, and they often fight against each other. They are also known as the "Three Heroes of Yunze" '."

Ye Jingtang knew that Zheng Feng was likely to be his adoptive father, but he didn't expect his adoptive father to have this name when he was young, so he asked curiously:

"Who is the strongest among the three?"

Zhe Yunli proudly said: "It must be the hero Qiu. Zheng Feng's sword skills are the worst, and he can be included in the three heroes. It is purely because the "Eight Steps of Mad Sword" is too famous, and he was scrapped within a few years after he emerged; Xuanyuan Tiangang was the strongest back then, but because of Zheng Feng's matter, he fell out with his father, fished and farmed all day long, and quit the arena."

Ye Jingtang frowned slightly, the enemy mentioned in the foster father's letter was none other than the 'Knife Chief' Xuanyuan old man, but he didn't mention why he had a grudge back then, and from Zhe Yunli's account, things seemed quite tortuous back then.He asked:
"What happened to Zheng Feng back then?"

Zhe Yunli shook his head: "Hero Qiu doesn't want to say, how do I know. My hometown is in Tiannan, and you have to ask the people here about the old things about the rivers and lakes in Zezhou."

Seeing that Zhe Yunli was not clear, Ye Jingtang stopped asking further questions and said instead:

"Zhe Nuxia's territory is in Tiannan, so whose territory is this in Yunzhou?"

"In the past, this was the site of Honghualou, and there was a shadow of Honghualou behind the water transportation and land transportation, but this time I came here, and I took the boat from Shuiyunjiantan, and I guess it has been replaced."

"Oh? Isn't Honghualou a wealthy family? The prestige in the Jianghu seems to be higher than that of Shuiyunjiantan."

"That was before."

Zheyunli sat a few minutes closer, put on the look of an expert who is familiar with the past and the present, and explained earnestly:

"The previous owner of the Red Flower Building was the 'Chief of the Gun', number seven in the world, so his prestige was naturally high. But the 'Chief of the Gun' died, and his son took over, but he was beaten to death by the current leader of the gun, and replaced by a woman."

"woman?"

Ye Jingtang blinked, recalling the height of the 'Red God of Fortune', as well as his words and deeds, he became more and more suspicious of the identity of the 'Red God of Fortune'.

But the Pei family doesn't seem to be in the dock business. Based on these alone, it is still impossible to determine whether it has something to do with Sanniang. After thinking about it, I continued to ask:

"and then?"

"As soon as the title of 'Gun Chief' was lost, the reputation of Honghualou plummeted. And Shuiyun Jiantan is the home of the contemporary 'Sword Master', tied for tenth in the world with Yanzhou Jieyun Palace. If there is no new master in Honghualou Make an appearance, set a rule for the Jianghu people, at the most a few years, they will be eaten away and become a second-rate sect..."

"Oh……"

After chatting for a while, the meal was over and it was late at night.

Ye Jingtang stood up and went to the well to fetch water for washing.

Zheyunli was also sleepy, stretched at the door, and then looked around the empty house:

"Where do you sleep tonight?"

Ye Jingtang wiped his face with a towel and walked into the room, somewhat bewildered:

"Sleeping bed, this is my home, where do you say I sleep?"

?

Zhe Yunli frowned, and looked back at the double bed - the three of them squeezed together, but they could sleep well...

But is it possible?

Zhe Yunli coughed lightly: "Master is injured and needs to recuperate, let her sleep on the bed... This girl will sleep against the wall with you, do you have any objection?"

Seeing that Zhe Yunli was quite sensible, Ye Jingtang didn't make things difficult for her:
"Row."

As he spoke, he came to the corner of the room that was not leaking, found a cloth to spread on it, and sat against the wall with the knife in his arms.

Zheyunli put the coir raincoat under her buttocks, sat next to Yejingtang, and waved:
"Big stupid bird, come here."

"grumble?"

Niaoniao didn't like the girl who was taking food from her mouth and wanted to make soup with it, so she flew up to the beam of the house, opened her coir raincoat a little, and poked her head out.

Zhe Yunli raised his eyes to look at it, somewhat inexplicably: "What is it doing?"

"Watch out."

"Oh! This bird is not stupid, I didn't see it..."

There are too many words in the update, which is basically a three-day update. It is estimated that the recommendation will be put on the shelves before the end, which will affect the results.But there are too few chapters in the 0:2 update, and adding one update is a very uncomfortable broken chapter, and you can’t delete it even if you delete it, so I still send this one first or[-]...
