Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 168 Familiar
"Bastard!"

Realizing that he was frightened by a bag of flour and watched Jiang Nan and others escape, Shangguan Wujiu almost ran away.

By the time the two rushed out of the restaurant from the flying flour dust, the three of Jiangnan had long since disappeared.

Shangguan Wujiu immediately ordered the men in gray to mobilize manpower and launch a full-scale hunt for Jiangnan.

On the other side, after the Jiangnan trio left the restaurant, they didn't actually go far.

Instead, he hid in a nearby shop, quietly watching the actions of Shangguan Wujiu and others.

Seeing that Shangguan Wujiu was entangled by the owner of the restaurant to claim compensation, and only the man in gray left alone, Jiangnan's eyes lit up:
"go!"

First, from the backyard of the shop, climb over the wall and leave, and chase after the man in gray.

Although Auntie and Ye Qingqing didn't know what Jiangnan wanted to do, they still followed closely behind.

As a master of the Longmen, the man in gray was also vigilant.

Soon he noticed someone behind him.

When I turned my head to look, I unexpectedly discovered that they were the two young ladies of the Ye family.

This gray-clothed man called "Uncle Ying" by Shangguan Wujiu is one of the hidden guards responsible for protecting Shangguan Wujiu.Previously, due to temporary errands, I did not go on the same boat with Shangguan Wugui.After discovering that something happened to the boat Shangguan Wujiu was riding on, he rushed to find him.

Regarding the grievances between the two young ladies of the Ye family and Shangguan Wujiu, Uncle Ying naturally understood.

He thought to himself, his eldest son had just suffered a bad loss and was in a fit of anger, if he could catch these two young ladies from the Ye family, he would have made a great contribution.

The man in gray deliberately looked behind the aunt and the two, but he didn't find any trace of Jiangnan, so he immediately felt relieved.

The man in gray is quite afraid of this kid who can stand in a stalemate with his eldest son for a long time.

Seeing being discovered, the aunt and the two stopped.

"I'll block him, you go!"

My aunt pushed Ye Qingqing, pushing her to a fork in the road, and she took the initiative to greet the man in gray with a sword.

It seems that they want to buy time for Ye Qingqing to escape.

"Haha. Ms. Ye, don't waste your efforts, and come with me to meet my eldest son!"

Without Shangguan Wujiu by his side, the man in gray seemed to let himself go, and there was laughter in his voice.

After the man in gray finished speaking, he already used one move to force his aunt to retreat, chasing Ye Qingqing from one side.

Although my aunt Ye Zitong has not yet broken through to the fourth-rank Longmen, one level lower than the man in gray, but the swordsmanship and lightness skills of the Dongdao Ye family should not be underestimated.

The man in gray knew that it would be very difficult to take down my aunt without ten or twenty moves.If the other party wants to escape wholeheartedly, he may not be able to stop him with the famous "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves Technique" of the Ye family in Dongdao.

By that time, Ye Qingqing would have already fled away, so it would be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket.

So, I simply skipped my aunt and went directly to arrest Ye Qingqing.

The man in gray believes that as long as Ye Qingqing is captured, my aunt will definitely not abandon her and run away alone.

At that time, no matter whether you use Ye Qingqing to threaten my aunt and tie her hands, or do something else, the initiative will be in your own hands.

The action of the gray-clothed man really changed my aunt's expression. She swung her long sword and stabbed at his back in a hurry, shouting anxiously: "Don't run! Your opponent is me!"

The gray-clothed man, who has already made plans, will naturally not let my aunt do what she wants.

The speed of chasing Ye Qingqing became faster.

Auntie stabbed a few times, but all failed.

Seeing that the distance between the man in gray and Ye Qingqing was less than ten feet.

Not knowing whether it was fear in her heart or tripping over something, Ye Qingqing staggered and fell to the ground.

"Haha. God help me too!"

The gray-clothed man laughed wildly in his heart, thinking that he was about to finish the job.

He leaned over and reached out to grab the fallen Ye Qingqing.

A ray of sword light suddenly pierced the gray-clothed man's throat from where Ye Qingqing fell.

The expression of the man in gray changed drastically.

The arm grabbing Ye Qingqing hastily retreated, instinctively blocking his own throat.

"puff--"

The man in gray blocked the long sword that was piercing his throat, but the palm of his right hand was pierced.

The man in gray is also amazing.

Enduring the pain, he pushed his palm forward vigorously, using the hole pierced by the tip of the sword in his palm, and slashed his palm directly from the tip of the sword to the hilt, instantly shortening the distance to Jiangnan, and imprisoning Jiangnan with the wound The activity of the long sword.

then.

He suddenly raised his knee and bumped into Jiangnan's lower vagina.

"Nima!"

Jiang Nan was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, the man in gray who was easily fooled was actually a ruthless man!
He had to let go of the hilt and dodge backwards.

The impact of the man in gray fell through.

Jiangnan lost his long sword, and the man in gray also lost his right hand.

"Take the sword!"

The little aunt who had just caught up at this time gave a clear drink and threw her long sword towards Jiangnan without hesitation.

Jiang Nan grabbed the long sword thrown by his aunt, and attacked the man in gray like a storm.

People's blood courage is often only a moment.

The man in gray was only thinking about fighting back against Jiangnan just now, so enduring the pain of his wound being cut by the blade of the sword, he didn't feel anything when he strung his palm from the tip of the sword to the hilt fiercely.

This counterattack failed, and the piercing pain broke out immediately.

Cold sweat instantly covered the whole body.

However, the man in gray knew that the real test of life and death was next.

Gritting his teeth fiercely, he pulled out the long sword stuck in his right palm with his left hand, and Jiang Nan's attack had arrived.

The man in gray had no choice but to fight back with his long sword stained with his own blood in his left hand.

pity!

The man in gray is not good at swordsmanship, and what's more, he still uses his left hand.

With just one move, the long sword in his hand has been shot down by Jiangnan.

In the second move, the left palm of the man in gray was also pierced by Jiang Nan.

This time, the man in gray didn't dare to get closer to fight back like before.Instead, he directly pulled his palm away from the tip of the sword, turned around and fled.

"puff--"

Jiang Nan was not polite, and stabbed the man in gray with his sword in the vest.

Because of the presence of his aunt and Ye Qingqing, Jiang Nan hesitated for a while, but gave up using the method of suction.

Different from other martial arts, "Suction Dafa" is a "magic art" that only the leader and the successors of the devil can practice, and it is really impossible to explain.

Jiang Nan picked up the fallen long sword, wiped both swords on the clothes of the man in gray, and returned them to Auntie and Ye Qingqing respectively.

"Use it first. Anyway, your swordsmanship is better than mine!"

Ye Qingqing didn't reach out to pick it up.

"Haha. No need. Without a sword, I am better than you in other kung fu."

Jiang Nan laughed and insisted on stuffing it into Ye Qingqing's hands.

"Small sample!"

Ye Qingqing snorted coldly, and took his long sword angrily.

Jiang Nan leaned over and groped around the body of the man in gray, only to find more than 1000 taels of silver bills.

It is a pity in my heart that a fat sheep like the former young leader of the Changhe Gang is really rare.

"Let's leave quickly. Although this is Jiangnan, the power of Juyi Villa is still not small." Auntie said.

"Ah."

The three identified their direction and left quickly.

The three of them had just had their fill of wine and food, and there was no other delay. They traveled more than 100 miles in one breath.

Guessing that Shangguan Wujiu or the people from Juyi Villa would not be able to catch up in a short time, he found a secluded place to rest.

Warriors often meditate and adjust their breath before resting.While regulating the state of the body, it also accumulates skills.

Jiangnan's internal qi is in the stage of refining qi and transforming it into gangster.

When I meditate, I forget the time without realizing it.

When it was dawn, Fang Cai's body shook and he opened his eyes suddenly.

"Congratulations!"

"congratulations!"

Auntie and Ye Qingqing both congratulated Jiang Nan.

After this night of practice, Jiangnan finally transformed all the internal energy into stellar qi, breaking through to the realm of fifth grade stellar qi.

While my aunt congratulated, she was also secretly shocked.

Jiangnan only broke through to the fifth-grade stellar qi today, so doesn't that mean that he was only in the sixth-grade qi sea realm yesterday.

Looking at the whole Jianghu, there are probably only a few people who can do it.

It turned out that beside me, there was a young Tianjiao unconsciously!

Ye Qingqing didn't think as much as her aunt, but was purely happy for Jiangnan.

It can be said that Ye Qingqing is the only person in the world who has witnessed the growth of Jiangnan. Ye Qingqing has long been numb or accustomed to the miraculous speed of martial arts shown by Jiangnan.

A few people tidied up and continued on their way.

The military and political status of Jiangnan Road may not be high, but in terms of prosperity and wealth, in the whole world, I am afraid that only the imperial capital can match it.

And the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River is different from that of the imperial capital.

The imperial capital is an important place in Gyeonggi, the cultural and political center, so the prosperity of the imperial capital is faintly depressing.

The prosperity of Jiangnan is free and wanton.

If the prosperity of the imperial capital is the result of man-made, then the prosperity of Jiangnan is the choice of the market.

On the road, not only caravans and caravans, but also more pedestrians wearing silk silk.

"Brother Jiang, have you been to Jiangnan before?"

While drinking tea at the post station, Ye Qingqing couldn't help asking.

During the trip to Jiannan Road, Ye Qingqing didn't meet his second uncle Fusheng swordsman Ye Fusheng, and couldn't ask him about Jiangnan's identity in person.

but.

As her understanding of Jiangnan got deeper and deeper, Ye Qingqing actually already understood that Jiangnan and Ye Fusheng should not have any blood relationship.The so-called "illegitimate child", except for Jiangnan's deliberate guidance, has always been just his own subjective speculation.

This result, Ye Qingqing was not too disappointed, but secretly happy.

So, I kept it in my heart all the time, and didn't ask Jiang Nan to question him.

Even Jiangnan's address became "Big Brother Jiang" unknowingly and as a matter of course.

"I haven't been here."

Jiangnan shook his head.

"Then how did you come up with the poem that praised yourself in the restaurant?"

Thinking of the words "Jiangnan is good" at the beginning of that poem, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but smile.

"Haha. You said that poem, it was written by someone else, I just recited it." Jiang Nan replied casually.

Ye Qingqing obviously didn't believe it.

She had quietly asked her aunt about this poem last night, but she had never heard of it.

If it was written by someone else, it must have been spread all over the world.

Jiang Nan obviously saw Ye Qingqing's thoughts.

He smiled and said, "If you like it, I can recite another one for you."

"really?"

Ye Qingqing was full of surprise.

Jiangnan stood under the gazebo by the post station, staring at the green mountains and green waters in the distance and the various pedestrians on the road, raised the bamboo teacup and took a sip, softly chanted:

"Everyone says Jiangnan is good,

Tourists are only old in the south of the Yangtze River.

Spring water is clearer than the sky,
Draw a boat and listen to the rain to sleep.

Lubian people are like the moon,
Hao wrist condensed frost and snow.

Mo returned to his hometown when he was not old,

Returning home requires heartbreak. "

Before Jiang Nan opened his mouth, he just thought about the stalk of "Jiangnan is good", and planned to tease Ye Qingqing again.

Unexpectedly, when he chanted the two lines of "I'm not old, don't return to my hometown", I suddenly remembered Jiangnan in my previous life for no reason, and my voice suddenly became low.

Although in the era of Jiangnan's previous life, the concept of "Jiangnan" has gradually become blurred, and more people have replaced the word "South" when referring to the ancient Jiangnan region.

But Jiangnan has always felt that "Southern" is too vulgar, and only "Jiangnan" represents poetry.

The south is just a region and location, while the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful.

In particular, the water in the south of the Yangtze River, the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the awning boats in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people who once enjoyed the rain in the awning boats together...

No matter how high and brilliant a person climbs, he still wants to find a destination in the end.

The so-called falling leaves return to their roots is not just a natural phenomenon.

In this world, because of the existence of the supernatural power "Claw of Stealing the Sky", Jiangnan's journey has been relatively smooth. In just a few months, he has reached a height that others have not been able to reach in years or even decades.

However, when I dream back at midnight, there is always a faint feeling of loss in my heart.

Jiangnan knew that it was actually his hometown.

Lost hometown.

A hometown that may never return.

Jiangnan asked himself the state of "my hometown is where my heart is at ease" that Su Dahuzi said...

Ye Qingqing on the side didn't expect that when Jiang Nan opened his mouth, it would be Wang Zha again.

Chewing the picture and artistic conception in the words and sentences.

I couldn't help being crazy for a while.

Suddenly thought, in this life, if I could live with Jiangnan in Jiangnan forever, that would be great!

And my aunt was also stunned, not knowing what to think of.

The joys and sorrows of human beings may be different, but some words can resonate with people's emotions.

"Crack-pump-"

A few crisp applause woke up those who were deep in thought.

"Good poetry, good poetry!"

"Zhou Jing in Xiajiangnan Academy, what is the name of this brother?"

The one who spoke was a young scholar in green clothes and upright.

"What's the matter with you?"

Jiang Nan turned his head slightly.

"Take the liberty to disturb me. Please don't blame me, brother!"

The scholar in Qingshan saluted first, and then said solemnly: "Three days later, there will be a poetry meeting in Jiangnan Academy. I see that your literary talents are outstanding, so I want to invite you to participate. I also ask you to give me your appreciation!"

"Oh? Poetry? I'm sorry, I'm a martial artist, I can only wield knives and swords, but I'm not good at writing and writing." Jiang Nan shook his head and refused: "I just copied that poem from someone else's book by chance."

"is it?"

The scholar in blue was obviously disappointed.

However, seeing the long swords in the hands of the two aunts beside Jiangnan, he knew that most of these people were from the rivers and lakes, so he didn't have too much doubt about Jiangnan's words.

From the scholar's point of view, a sentence like "Don't return to your hometown before you are too old" is obviously not something that a young man younger than himself can write.

"So, I'll bother you."

The scholar was about to leave in disappointment when he suddenly remembered something and asked, clasping his hands:

"May I ask again, brother, do you remember the name of the original author of this poem?"

"Can not remember."

"What about the name of the word?"

"It's called "Everyone Says Jiangnan is Good"."

"Uh...I want to bring this poem to the poetry meeting for everyone to appreciate. Is it possible?"

"Sure. Use whatever you want. Just don't attach your own name."

"Uh... Don't worry, brother, I, Zhou Jing, have shame..."

Send the green shirt scholar away.

The atmosphere between the three of them suddenly became dull.

Ye Qingqing looked at the winding river in the distance and the black boats docked by the bank, and suddenly said:
"How about we take a boat?"

Jiangnan is also known as "Water Town", with criss-cross rivers and well-developed water transportation.Although the water route by boat is slower than the land route, it is also accessible in all directions.

Seeing that his aunt had no objection, Jiang Nan nodded, "Okay."

The three of them paid for the tea and walked to the nearest awning boat on the shore.

Ask about the price and board the boat one by one.

The boatman untied the cable and propped it up on the bank with a bamboo pole, and the awning boat quickly rowed towards the middle of the river.

Jiang Nan inadvertently caught a glimpse of the back of the boatman wearing a cloak, and was startled suddenly.

The back of the boatman seems familiar...
