I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Chapter 70 Invitation to the Conference

It was noon, and although there was another snowfall in the forest, it actually seemed much warmer than at night.

The brothers who were injured before walked out of the cave and took advantage of the best hour or two of the sun to move around and relax their muscles.

Today is already the fifth day since they attacked Ouyang's house at night.

Over at Kuangshi Village, because the abducted women were released, there was a high chance that they would be exposed and could no longer live there.

That night, Su Hanshan led everyone to transport all the supplies and hid them in the cave of the small group of bandits. In the next two days, he wandered around to find another, more spacious cave.

No one was in a hurry to transport the supplies back to Songhe Martial Arts Hall. First of all, it was because the wind was blowing hard recently, so there was a higher possibility of being discovered while carrying a large amount of supplies on mountain roads.

Secondly, everyone is injured and needs to take good care of themselves.

In the past few days, Su Hanshan, in addition to recovering from his injuries, was also instructing others in martial arts, and gradually taught them some of the secrets of Rama's mental method.

Li Erhu and others have also practiced internal martial arts since they were young, and several of them have skills above Qi Hai Xiaocheng.

In the area of ​​Shanyang County, there were several famous Confucian scholars in the previous dynasty. There were many people who advocated education without distinction. They mobilized their disciples and old friends to set up academies in various counties to teach the six arts of a gentleman at a low cost, so that people could read. Literary martial arts.

Although it is said that after death, those academies are either abandoned or have changed their rules long ago. Many people who once listened to lectures in the academies were tired of life after returning, and gave away all collections of classics and history, articles and songs. Leave it behind.

However, martial arts is very useful after they learn it, and they will never abandon it casually.

In Jing'erzhuang, Li Erhu's hometown, there is a set of "Deep Spring Kung Fu" passed down from their ancestors. Children in Zhuangzi must learn it since childhood.

In addition, their village has been digging wells for generations. The young men in the village often travel in groups to compete for business, work hard, and keep up with progress. They are all very united.

Only when Li Erhu led people to escape could so many people survive.

However, their Zhuangzi only had internal strength, but no brilliant moves to match it. The few sets of boxing techniques and stick techniques that were handed down were very crude, and the moves were connected with each other, and there were huge loopholes.

The sword techniques used by Li Erhu, Li Wuniu and others were handed down to them by an old monk who had served as a soldier in their village.

It is the most common "Armor-Breaking Sword Technique" among the troops of the Great Chu Dynasty. The sword moves may not be very clever, but they are more practical. At least they are enough for people below the level of Qi Hai Dacheng.

If Su Hanshan directly taught them the Songhe Pure Yang Kung Fu, the complicated route of running the Kung Fu would be very different from their previous internal Kung Fu habits, and they might not be able to adapt to it.

The content of Rama's Heart Method is simple. Although it is not very powerful, it has a healing effect. It can also be used as a transition period for them to practice different internal skills and change their habits.

Seeing that everyone is practicing martial arts, recuperating from injuries, or meditating on internal energy.

Su Hanshan also moved a small stool out, sat on a tree stump near the entrance of the cave, took out the sapphire inverted clock, and placed it on the small stool in front of him to test his current level of skill.

In one breath, he successfully performed the Small Zhoutian thirty times, and the path of movement was still a little beyond. It could basically be considered that he had entered the final six revolutions of the Qi Sea realm.

If this kind of entry was reported back to Songhe Martial Arts Hall, I'm afraid the second uncle and the others would be surprised again.

Su Hanshan now understands more and more what the so-called accumulation means.

He has been practicing internal energy since he was a child. Before he learned to walk, he first learned to breathe in and out. The operation of internal energy has almost become an instinct for him.

During the five years of paralysis, his temperament became a little withdrawn, and he devoted himself more to his own world and practiced hard, which made the imprint of this instinct deeper and deeper.

At that time, the biggest obstacle to his internal strength cultivation was his legs. The strength of the meridians in his legs slowed down the progress of his overall internal strength. But even then, he still cultivated his internal strength to the level of Qi Sea. degree.

After the meridians in both legs recovered, he realized how to use Rama's mind method to practice advanced skills, and also obtained the three pure Yang methods that can integrate the inside and outside and refine the internal strength through skill training. It was smooth sailing and a thousand miles away.

Su Hanshan even felt that in the next period of time, his internal strength would progress faster than before, just like rolling rocks on a high mountain, moving forward inexorably.

But this not only did not make him relax with joy, but also added a sense of urgency.

When he was a child, he read a lot of travel notes about the Chu Dynasty, and often liked to listen to Zuo Longsheng's stories about his experiences when he was out escorting, and many geniuses were mentioned in them.

As long as those people are not too lazy and waste their talents too much, they will have a lot of opportunities to enter a period of rapid progress at this stage of life starting from the age of sixteen or seventeen.

Even though there are differences in the speed of their progress, in the eyes of ordinary warriors, they are all enviable and amazing.

But they all have to face a hurdle, which is the boundary between the sea of ​​​​qi and the ladder to heaven.

Not to mention Su Hanshan himself, Zhou Zifan, Lei Yuzhu, and Huang Sanwen were all geniuses back then, but they were all stuck at the stage of perfecting the Qi Sea.

Zhou Zifan was seriously injured and was ruled out first. Lei Yuzhu and Huang Sanwen had practiced hard in the past few years, but they had stalled and completely lost the progress that geniuses should have made in the past.

As for the older generation, let alone those who are stuck in Qi Sea Consummation.

Su Hanshan even heard a saying that in the last period of the Qi Sea Realm, the faster the person, if he fails to break through the Ladder Realm, the possibility of being completely stuck and disappearing from the public is also low. higher.

This is like galloping on horseback. If the fastest person encounters a pothole and cannot jump over it, but falls into it, he will suffer the most damage and have the least chance of climbing out of the hole. .

Su Hanshan's mind was spinning, he shook his head, put away the sapphire upside-down clock, and decided to continue practicing.

It’s still comfortable to practice Qigong, and you can get rid of those troublesome thoughts first.

He was immersed in the operation of his inner energy, his state of mind gradually became clearer, and his five senses became more and more acute. Suddenly, he heard the footsteps of someone who did not belong to him dozens of feet away. He immediately stood up and waved to everyone.

Everyone was very convinced of him now, and after seeing his gesture, they understood. The wounded went deep into the cave, and the others took their weapons and lined them up outside the cave.

"You are walking like a car, moving so smoothly and without concealment, you must not be here to trouble us, right?" Su Hanshan used a little internal strength, his voice was still rich, but the sound he made became more penetrating, penetrated into the forest, and caused a wave of excitement. echo.

A laughter soon came from the forest.

"Hahahaha, brothers have been in the limelight recently and have done a lot of business in Shihao County. I'm afraid there aren't many people who dare to cause trouble for you."

Several people walked out of the woods.

The leader looked like a rich man, wearing a red silk scarf, with a round face and a slightly squat body. He held a thick and long pipe pot in his hand, looked around with a smile, and started talking.

"What a wonderful place. No wonder we sent several groups of flag bearers to invite people, but we couldn't find you. Even if I came here in person, it would be a waste of hard work to find this place, and it's all thanks to luck."

Su Hanshan said calmly: "Since there is no malice, why not tell me your name?"

The rich man cupped his fists and smiled: "I, Jin Liancheng, come from the Seven Black Thieves."

Seven Black Thieves?
Su Hanshan's heart trembled. This name occupied a huge space in the booklet of the Green Forest Book, and was written about in a big book.

It is said that the Black Seven Thieves originally had only seven people and only operated at night, hence their name. However, by the time of the Liang King's rebellion, there were already thousands of bandits under their command, planting banned drugs and buying and selling slaves. , they can be beaten to a certain extent, which shows their arrogance.

Yin Kang, the leader of the Black Seven Thieves, is even nicknamed the "King of Secret Hands" in the local area. He is a master in the realm of heaven.

And Jin Liancheng is the third boss.

"It turns out he's the third leader of the family. I've really admired his name for a long time."

Su Hanshan clasped his fists in return and said, "I'm going down to Tiejiangliu. I've never had any dealings with you. How can I induce the third master to come and look for me in person?"

Jin Liancheng said quickly: "Brother Tie, don't get me wrong. Although the two incidents involving Dongsanjie and Ouyang's family in Shihao County have caused a lot of noise and the harvest will be huge, we, the Black Seven Thieves, have always been the most disciplined and we will not For this reason, we attack those who share the same path."

"I sent the flag envoy because there is a big matter. I want to invite Mad Lion Tan Ying to discuss it. I also heard that Mad Lion has recruited some strong reinforcements. It would be great if we can invite them together."

"Unexpectedly, Tan Ying was so blind that he underestimated Brother Tie and was led by Brother Tie to overthrow him. Then he decided to invite Brother Tie to the meeting."

Su Hanshan's thoughts turned and he said: "The third master misunderstood. Brother Tan was injured when he attacked Ouyang's family, and he was seriously injured after he came back..."

"I know it all, I know it all."

Jin Liancheng patted his mouth and said, "Look at my mouth, Tan Ying certainly died by himself. Stabbing the elder brother is against the rules. Brother Tie will definitely not do it."

"But I have never heard of Brother Tie on the Shanyang Green Forest Road before. I never thought that Brother Tie would be so concerned about the rules of the green forest?"

Su Hanshan snorted: "My master caused some trouble in other places and fled to Shanyang. He told me to keep a low profile in my work, so I didn't go into any mountains and only lived in a small village."

"If I hadn't fled, I wouldn't have taken my brothers from Zhuangzi to surrender to Tan Ying."

He said with a half-smile, "And after we entered the village, the first thing Boss Tan taught us was the rules. How could we not pay attention to it?"

Jin Liancheng completely understood now. No wonder Tan Ying would exclude this group of people. It turned out that they were thorns emerging from the refugees, not habitual gangsters with old friendships.

It's a pity that Tan Ying didn't expect that this man had another apprentice and had extraordinary skills. No wonder the corpses looked a little unbelievable.

"Since Brother Tie escaped from misfortune and became a bandit, he should know this situation. Even if a bandit survives, there are still many difficulties."

Jin Liancheng said, "It is precisely because of the difficult situation of our fellow comrades that our leader decided to hold a conference in Baiwang Mountain to convene a group of comrades to jointly make plans for the future."

Su Hanshan wanted to know what the next move of this group of bandits would be, but with a bandit leader at the Heavenly Ladder realm and a large group of ruthless bandit leaders with unknown strength, this kind of place was still too dangerous, which made him hesitate.

It would be better to refuse first, find an opportunity to inform Magistrate Gao and the others, summon Baiwang County in the name of the government, try to gather manpower, and attack the mountain directly when the time comes.

"I appreciate the Third Master's kindness, and please send my greetings to the First Master."

Su Hanshan clasped his fists and said, "But my brothers are all from poor backgrounds and have short-sightedness. They don't want to go all out when they have a few meals to eat. We robbed these two times, which is enough for a while."

"If I go to the conference at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to contribute bravely, but will appear depressed, which will damage the momentum of the conference."

Jin Liancheng smiled and said: "As the saying goes, nothing comes of nothing. Brother Tie has offended too many people in Shihao County by stealing these two times. It will definitely not be easy to grab such a rich thing in the future."

"As long as the things we discuss at this conference are completed, it will be enough to change our appearance and we will have no worries for the rest of our lives."

He glanced at Li Erhu and others, "Fight this time and enjoy it for the rest of your life. Aren't you all tempted by such a good opportunity?"

Su Hanshan wondered: "What big thing are we going to do? To be able to get such a generous reward, I think no matter Shihao County or Baiwang County..."

Speaking of this, Su Hanshan's eyes suddenly changed.

If we only target Baiwang County, it should be enough to notify the government when the time comes and attack the mountain to shock them.

But if these people dare to target another place, I am afraid that the situation will be much more complicated and worse than Su Hanshan expected.

It is absolutely not enough to rely solely on external attacks and defenses.

"Hahaha!"

Jin Liancheng smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Tie has also guessed that although the conference is in Baiwang Mountain, what we are eyeing is Cangshui County!"
