Chapter 2 Young Hero Mao
In the area south of the Yangtze River, the general peaks are a little shorter than those in the north.

The town here is called Hongshi Town. It is a small town in the south. People with a radius of fifty miles usually come to this town to buy and sell.Hongshi Town is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only way to get to a larger county town is through a road in the east.

It was already evening, and the market had already dispersed, and occasionally people rushing home passed by on a small road.In the woods where the path passed through a low mountain, a woman's scream came.

"Stinky bitch, shut up for me!"

In the woods, two burly men wielding machetes were surrounding two village girls, and it seemed that they had committed robbery.One of the two big men has a scarred face and the other has only one eye. They really look scary.

"You, you, you... what do you want to do...?" The young village girl tremblingly asked a question that was not very clever.

The little village girl with a scarred face looked like a frightened bunny, touched her chin with great interest, stared suddenly, and stammered like her: "I, I, I... I didn't... Why didn't I think about it! I just wanted to ... beat, beat, beat, beat up~!"

"Ah~!" The little village girl screamed, sat down on the ground, and hugged another village girl tightly with both hands.

Cyclops shook Scarface at the back of his head, and said, "Where the hell are you talking so much nonsense?" Then he turned to the two village girls and shouted: "Be sensible and take out all the valuables, I'm not robbing you!", "No If you are sensible, you don't mind robbery!" Scarface interjected.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two village girls wanted to take a detour back to the village as soon as possible, but they didn't expect to encounter robbers as soon as they entered the woods.The little girl has never seen such a scene before, thinking of the old man in the village saying that the bandits are all people who kill people without blinking an eye and want money and life, "Wow~" sat on the ground and started crying, one of the two village girls was scared to cry One was stupefied.

Scarface looked at this scene, suddenly couldn't turn around, looked at Cyclops, and asked: "Second brother, what should we do? These two girls don't play cards according to the routine!", "Bang!" Scarface was hit again Brainstormed, "What the fuck's way!" The scarred face was sprayed with saliva by the one-eyed dragon.

Scarface lowered his face and said aggrievedly: "Second brother, didn't you and eldest brother usually say that those cowards will obediently send the money if you bluff that knife? But now..."

Cyclops cursed iron and steel, "If I don't give it to you, my mother won't go and get it myself!"

With a "hehe" smile on his scarred face, he strode towards the two girls and grabbed the burden with one hand.The frightened village girl woke up suddenly, and after screaming, she clung to the bundle tightly and refused to let go.

Scarface pulled twice but failed to snatch the burden off, turned his head and asked Cyclops with a mournful face: "Second brother, she won't give it, what should I do!"

The one-eyed dragon blew his beard and stared angrily. If he hadn't stayed far away, he would have shaved Scarface's head into a bun.He picked up the machete in one hand, waved it twice, and rushed over angrily, not knowing whether he wanted to slash Scarface or the village girl.

"Hold~Hand~" At this moment, a young boy's voice came from not far away, temporarily calming down the scene.

The one-eyed dragon stopped and looked towards the direction of the sound. At some point, a boy appeared on the path in the woods and walked towards them quickly.When Cyclops and Scarface came back to their senses, the boy was almost at their side, and there was an iron blue sword in his hand.

Only then did Cyclops realize that this kid wanted a hero to save the beauty.He hurriedly shouted at the young man: "Stop! Otherwise...", the young man didn't listen at all, and the sword in his hand stabbed straight at his face before Cyclops finished speaking.

This sword came very quickly, and Cyclops' reaction would stop at "master", and he had to dodge the next moment.The young man drove away the one-eyed dragon with one sword and did not entangle with him. The next sword slashed at Scarface's hand holding the burden, and Scarface retracted his hand instinctively.Before the young man drew his sword again, Cyclops took a quick step back seven or eight steps with his scarred face, staring at the young man solemnly.

Cyclops tentatively asked the boy, "Boy, which sect do you belong to?"

The boy ignored the one-eyed dragon, but asked the two village girls: "Sister-in-law, are you all right?" The little girl sitting on the ground had stopped crying, recovered her senses and stared at the boy for a while, suddenly Shouting: "Aren't you the Amao of Zhang Xiucai's family!?" The young man smiled stiffly, and said, "Ah...Actually, you can call me Zhang Liheng"...

The one-eyed dragon couldn't stand it any longer, and said loudly: "That... Zhang Amao, I only do this business today, are you determined to prevent me from getting rich?"

The young man who claimed to be Zhang Liheng scratched his head and said, "I...my name is really Zhang Liheng, and Grandpa called me Amao. I don't want to hinder you from getting rich, but you are not allowed to steal other people's things!"

Cyclops continued to ask: "Hey, you are so talented, which sect are you a disciple of?" "Me? I'm not a disciple of any sect." Zhang Liheng shook his head and said.

Cyclops is not like Scarface, a rookie bandit. After he figured out that the boy with a good sword in front of him is not a disciple of some sect, he no longer has any worries, his eyes gleamed fiercely.Cyclops touched Scarface with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "Third Brother, Second Brother will open meat for you today, go up and cook that kid!", Scarface smiled cheerfully a few times, and replied "Okay!" He swung his machete towards Zhang Liheng.

Zhang Liheng muttered for a while watching the two villains, and suddenly one of them walked towards him with a knife, and the sword in his hand clenched a little unconsciously. He didn't think he could send the bandits away with just a few words.If Grandpa hadn't allowed me to practice day and night with this "family heirloom" during his lifetime, I would have no idea facing two forest thieves who were one head taller and two laps stronger than him.

Seeing the scarred face approaching cheerfully, Zhang Liheng's eyes were like that of a hungry wolf seeing a lamb, making Zhang Liheng shudder.Hearing Scarface say, "Kid, die!", the man rushed over with a knife in hand.

Zhang Liheng pushed the little girl beside him away with one hand, and at the same time, he quickly dodged the slash from Scarface, and said in his heart, "It's dangerous!", this guy is trying to play tricks.

Scarface's second slash was about to strike, Zhang Liheng didn't dare to think too much, he raised the sword and used the move he had practiced on this "family treasure" for five or six years, and the "shua" sword actually passed through With the light of the knife, the immediate predicament was solved.Then there was another sword.

Facing Zhang Liheng's counterattack, the sword looked light and fluffy, but the scarred face couldn't cut it. He looked like a fool, but his reaction was very fast. He knew that the sword was extremely dangerous, so he quickly Withdrew the knife and dodged.Even though Scarface withdrew quickly, the sword still pierced his clothes, and it passed through his belly, and he could feel the coldness coming from the sword.

After the face of the scar was covered in cold sweat, he did not retreat but advanced, "Hey hey" after a smirk, the machete opened and closed to attack Zhang Liheng again.It was also the first time for Zhang Liheng to fight against someone, and he was terrified by the sword just now, but after seeing the successful blow, he was relieved, and swung his sword forward against the scarred face's second sword light.

Although Scarface's knife technique is open and close, it is thick and delicate, and it can be regarded as a relatively clever knife technique in the world.But after more than a dozen moves, Scar's face was about to collapse. The kid in front of him was like a fucking hedgehog, he couldn't get in at all, and his clothes were almost turned into a pile of rags.

The eyes of the one-eyed dragon who was watching not far away became more and more dignified.

This time, Scar's face became determined, and he wanted the hedgehog to chop down even if he was injured, and used the "swallow double loop" knife handle style towards Zhang Liheng.After Zhang Liheng and Scarface faced each other for more than a dozen moves, the sword in his hand became smoother and smoother, and he was not hurt by Scarface even once, and they used the same three moves when they came and went, and the fighting became more and more exciting .But this time, after the "Swallow Double Back" knife came, Scarface didn't withdraw the knife this time, but made a second knife against the edge of the sword. Zhang Liheng was inexperienced for the first time in a fight, so he panicked God, hastily withdrew his sword to block back.

"Dang!" The sword collided, and Zhang Liheng was shocked to take four or five steps back, his arms tingling.And Scarface was happy now, and laughed "hehe" when he saw Zhang Liheng retreating.But what no one noticed was that the machete on Scarface already had a notch of a size and a half.

At this time, the one-eyed dragon suddenly jumped over with a knife in his hand, and shouted at Scarface: "Third brother has a good chance, let's go together!", Scarface understood, and the two knives slashed at Zhang Liheng at the same time.

Zhang Liheng was shocked, and he swung his sword again, ignoring his numbness.He clearly felt that these blades and knives were going to kill him, and he couldn't help feeling angry, the speed of his hands increased, and the sword moves changed suddenly!The two thieves had the upper hand at first, but suddenly found that there were more sword shadows, false and real, and they couldn't tell if they were real or not. They were stabbed several times by the sword lights that passed through.

After just ten moves, the situation suddenly changed, and the two were in a hurry when greeted by Zhang Liheng's sword shadow.The one-eyed dragon shouted loudly: "Third Brother, Swallow Double Huanling!" After hearing this, Scarface connected with each other, and the two of them used their desperate killing move at the same time - "Swallow Double Huanling".Four saber lights slashed at Zhang Liheng. This time, Zhang Liheng didn't panic like the first time he used this move when facing the scar face. Instead, he raised his long sword and slashed at the two knives.

After a burst of metallic screeching, both sides fell into a deathly silence.

All three stopped their hands and stood there intact.However, Cyclops and Scarface only had half a knife left in their hands, while the other two cut-off knives were lying in front of Zhang Liheng. The image is instantly taller by more than a dozen grades, and what is shining is the brilliance of self-satisfaction.

Zhang Liheng moved, waved the "heirloom" in his hand twice, and laughed cheerfully.With this unstoppable smile, Cyclops and Scarface also woke up from their confusion. This in itself was a cheerful smirk, and at this moment, it sounded like a call from hell to them.The two looked at each other, and threw two broken knives at Zhang Liheng in a tacit understanding, and then ran out of the woods resolutely.

Zhang Liheng swung his sword to block the broken knife, and at the same time shouted: "Stop!"

The two actually stopped when they heard the yelling.Zhang Liheng was about to walk towards them with his sword in hand, but Scarface waved his hand and said, "Stop!" Zhang Liheng was taken aback, and said, "What are you doing?"

Cyclops said: "You don't need to come over, my third brother and I don't want to fight with you today!"

Scarface said: "But don't get me wrong, it's not that we can't beat you, it's your kid's sword evil sect, and my second brother and I don't want to fight you."

Zhang Liheng: "..."

Cyclops: "Boy, I'm warning you, don't go around talking about us Qin Shan Erxiong losing to you!"

Scarface: "We just go back and change weapons."

Zhang Liheng: "..."

Cyclops: "We remember you, Amao Zhang, in a few days our elder brother will personally deal with you!"

"Hey, you're dead!" Scarface pointed at Zhang Liheng fiercely with his finger.

After the two finished speaking, they ran away without a trace.Looking at the direction they ran away, Zhang Liheng who hadn't said a word just now murmured: "I told you to call me Zhang Liheng~".

At this moment, Zhang Liheng thought of the two village girls, and turned his head to see if they were injured, but he didn't see anyone in the original place.In fact, when Zhang Liheng fought with the Qinshan duo just now, the two village girls hid far away, and then went back to the village as they hid further and further away.After Zhang Liheng saw them leaving, he didn't think much about it, and then picked up his "family treasure" and looked over and over again. He had never discovered that this old and worn-out sword was so sharp before.

Zhang Liheng often listened to his grandfather nagging when he was very young. This sword was given to his grandfather by a master of martial arts more than a hundred years ago.The expert also told his grandfather's grandfather that he could practice a very good swordsmanship with this sword.At that time, my grandfather's grandfather saw that the sword was so shabby that not only had no scabbard, but also was full of cracks, so he didn't take the expert's words to heart.Then after several decades, my grandfather's grandfather was also old, and one day he suddenly discovered that the cracks on the sword were actually regular, vaguely a set of swordsmanship.So he started to practice, and suddenly fell down after practicing for a long time.Only then did the grandfather's grandfather realize that he was already past the age of practicing martial arts, and now that he has lost his energy and blood, he will collapse his body in one fell swoop.

Grandpa's grandpa has been sick since then, coupled with regret and annoyance in his heart, he will go back to the west in a few days.Before his death, his grandfather left a last message, telling his great-grandfather and grandfather the secret of the sword, and told his great-grandfather, who was almost fifty at the time, not to practice the above sword skills, but to let his grandfather do it.

Grandpa also studied the sword patterns on that sword, but he didn't seem to see any sword skills for more than ten years, so he finally gave up.Zhang Liheng's father liked to study since he was a child, and he didn't believe that the "broken sword" had any peerless martial arts. He never looked at it seriously, and later he was a scholar, and he never touched the sword.Fortunately, Zhang Liheng has loved playing since he was a child, and he has a special liking for that sword.When Zhang Liheng was six years old, he told his grandfather that he saw the sword technique, but his grandfather was so happy, so he forced him to practice what he saw all day long.In the morning, at noon and at night, Grandpa Zhang can be heard shouting: "A Mao, practice sword~"

Zhang Liheng's mother died early, and his father was obsessed with fame. He failed in several exams, studied day and night, and was overworked. When Zhang Liheng was 15 years old, he fell ill and finally passed away.Last year, Zhang Liheng's grandfather also passed away due to old age, leaving only Zhang Liheng and the "family heirloom" in the Zhang family.

Today is the anniversary of Grandpa Zhang Liheng's death. Zhang Liheng encountered the scene just after he arrived at the foot of the mountain after going up the mountain to worship his grandfather.For the first time, Zhang Liheng truly felt that the "swordsmanship" he practiced every day was so powerful that he was able to beat two robbers away before he finished using the nine-stroke swordsmanship on the sword, although most of the credit was in the "heirloom" Treasure", but this is enough for Zhang Liheng to wake up with a smile at night.Because the "heirloom" is his, isn't it.

Zhang Liheng practiced the sword according to the sword pattern for more than ten years without thinking. Originally, the sword pattern gave only three moves, but he insisted on comprehending nine moves.Talent is such a thing, if you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't have it.A person who can practice swordsmanship against a bunch of garbled codes is incomprehensible in the world of people without talent.

Zhang Liheng stroked the sword, yes, the sword!He carried the two machetes that had been broken into four on his shoulders, hummed a little tune and went back to the village cheerfully.

Before reaching the entrance of the village, Zhang Liheng saw the little village girl who had already run away leading a large group of young men with "weapons" such as hoes and sticks walking towards him.

Seeing that Zhang Liheng was intact, the little village girl ran over and knelt down to him, kowtowing three times.This frightened Zhang Liheng terribly, he hurriedly helped her up, and said "I can't bear it".

A group of young and strong guys are guys with excess energy. Hearing that Zhang Liheng frightened off two highway robbers with a broken sword, they all pestered him to find out some "heroic deeds".

After Zhang Liheng vaguely fooled those people past him, he finally felt relieved.Zhang Liheng's family heirloom sword should not be easily known to others, and he also understands the simple principles of "a man is not guilty, but a woman is guilty of a crime".

But even so, the news about Zhang Liheng spread throughout the village the next day. People used to call him "Amao" when they saw him, but now they called him "Amao Shaoxia".Zhang Liheng pursed his lips in the corner and murmured, "Why don't you call him Shaoxia Zhang, but you have to call him Shaoxia Amao..."

After another two days, things calmed down quite a bit, and Zhang Liheng went out to hunt in the mountains as before.Not far from the entrance of the village, a man stumbled towards the village. Zhang Liheng was shocked because there was a large bloodstain on the man's chest.

Zhang Liheng hurried over to help the man who had almost fainted, and then he saw clearly that there was a deep bone wound on the man's chest.Zhang Liheng was extremely shocked. He had never seen such a horrible wound in his age, and this guy could still walk on his feet. He was really not an ordinary person.

At this time, a weak voice came from the mouth of the injured man: "Zhangjiacun..."

Zhang Liheng's expression froze when he heard it, he dared to believe that this guy came to Zhangjia Village, could he be a relative of someone in the village.So he said to the man, "Brother, this is Zhangjiacun. Are you a relative of which family?"

Then I continued to hear the man utter a few words with difficulty: "Zhang...Zhang...A Mao..."
