Chapter 10:

Tea House

People in the Jianghu


The two of them are only interested in sightseeing, sitting on the horse, pointing, and very happy. Tiangang always rode his horse close to TianQiu's horse, and wished they could ride together. While talking and laughing, they unconsciously have traveled a hundred miles.

Tiangang looked up at the sky. It was past noon. It didn't matter, but he felt hungry and thirsty. It seemed that the ride was also a little unbearable and the journey was much slower. Tian Qiu saw it in his eyes, and knew that both men and women should rest and fight. There was no family nearby. After a while, I saw a roadside teahouse. It was said that the teahouse was only a shed built of several pieces of wood, surrounded by thin walls sandwiched by straw mats.

The two men quickly dismounted, and Luo Tianqiu touched his body. There was a small piece of silver, which was about five yuan heavy, and the two men had enough money.

They led the horse under the roadside tree. A servant immediately came out of the shop and put a bundle of hay in front of the horse. Although the house is simple, it is spacious. There are six or seven tables in the room. There are not many tea guests. There are just a few empty tables. Luo Tianchou chose an empty table near the wall and sat down opposite Long Tiangang. He ordered a plate of beef, a jin of Shaojiu, and several Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle). They ate slowly. One drinks, the other eats big cakes, and the two eat and talk with a relaxed look.

At this time, a young man under 20 came in outside the door. The scholar is dressed up in a white silk gown and looks beautiful. He glanced at Luo Tianqiu's table, sat down at the empty table next to them, and immediately shouted to the waiter to bring a table of beef, a plate of roast chicken, and a pot of wine, and ate it slowly. He drank and held chopsticks with a gentle manner. Long Tiangang frowned. He was angry at the slow sour look. A handsome man, why do you have to be so pretentious when eating? It's like acting. At first, Tiangang had a good feeling for his elegant and dignified appearance, but when he saw the "pedantic" way he ate and drank, did he have a good feeling. The man in white drank only half of a pot of wine. Luo Tianqiu and his wife had put down their chopsticks and bowls and had a rest to get ready to go.

At this time, two people, one old and one young, came in outside the door. A teenager was holding a blind man in his fifties and sixties. As soon as the child entered the room, a pair of big black eyes looked at the crowd and walked straight to the table where the man in white was. He reached out to the table and begged with a pair of small black hands. The young man in white casually touched a coin and gave it to him. The child kowtowed happily and thanked him.

Then he turned and walked to the next table.

There were two people sitting on the table, a big black man with short moustaches and a beautiful middle-aged man with yellow face, with a moustache on his lips, about forty years old. They ignored the child, "Get out!" The big black man suddenly shouted at the child, and the sound was like a bell, which made the house hum.

The child was not afraid of his loud voice. He stretched his hands at the table and did not move. It was obvious that he was used to it. In order to beg, he had seen anything fierce at a young age, not to mention this roar.

The yellow-faced man just drank as if he didn't know. The black man roared twice. Seeing that the child was not moving, he became a little agitated and stretched out his hand to push the child. It happened that the child hit his head on the corner of the white-shirted man's table, and immediately his head was broken and bleeding.

The man in white immediately held the child in his arms, applied medicine for the child's bleeding, and tore off a sleeve to wrap the child's wound. At this time, everyone around turned and looked at this side. The young man in white dress wrapped up the child, turned his face and looked at the black man, his eyes burning.

"Friend, bullying a child is not a hero!" The black man glared and shouted at this side with spittle: "It's none of your business, what can you do!"

"When you see injustice in the road, you should help! In broad daylight, a handsome man bullies a child. What a gift!"

The black man glanced coldly at the white man and said, "What do you want?"

"Make an apology in public and heal the child!"

"Ha ha, I have killed countless people in my life, and I never know what apology is!" The black man burst out laughing and shook the house. "I want to see how you can make me apologize today, you little white face!"

The white-shirted young man had already turned pale with anger and snorted coldly, "I want to be fair!" The black man stood up with a "whoosh".

"Want to fight!" When the word "fight" exits, he gives two fists to the white-shirted man. The white-shirted young man had put the child aside, and when he saw that he was coming fiercely, his body flashed slightly from the side, and he took a move of "hand in hand". His right hand quickly grasped the wrist of the black man's palm, and along the way, the black man's foot was stable, and he leaned forward, followed up with a move of "dragon stirring water" with his right foot, and swept towards the white-shirted man. The white-shirted man made a move of "plucking green onions on dry land". The man turned in the air and kicked his left foot at the other side's "Shenting acupoint". Two people are in the teahouse. You come here and I will tear down thirty or fifty moves.

With the sound of "crackling", the broken table and chair were removed, and the tray was smashed. Fortunately, the room is wide and the table spacing is not small; After breaking the two tables, the gap is not small enough for the two to show their fists. The white-shirted young man is short and strong, and moves freely. Although the black man's fists were heavy and powerful, he could not stick to his clothes. After fifty rounds, the black man gradually gasped heavily, and his horse's gait was unsteady, and his heart was agitated.

Luo Tianqiu looked on coldly, and the black man's "Arhat Fist" move was fierce. Originally, "Arhat Boxing" was the best skill of Shaolin School. It was powerful, solid and extremely exhausting. It's a pity that this man is powerful, and his moves are not exquisite enough. He is not ready yet, so he gets twice the result with half the effort. Unless you defeat your opponent within 30 moves, you will be exposed after a long battle. In addition, the black man is eager to take credit, and will exert all his strength as soon as he starts.

The young man in white shirt is not like that. His moves are calm, his lightness skills are excellent, his skill is light, his advance and retreat are well planned, so he seems to be able to cope with the situation calmly and brave in the war. The black man hit his opponent's temple with his hands in a semicircle. The man in white did not hurry, shrugged his shoulders and neck, dodged the coming situation, quickly and incessantly dodged behind the enemy, and without waiting to turn around, hit the back hand, "the wind blows the willow", thrust his food and middle finger, and gently touched the black man's vest, "Shendao acupoint", "Xinyu acupoint", and "Hunmen acupoint". The black man only felt numb all over, "flopped", and his tall body fell down. "What a flying finger," Tian Qiu sighed.

"This young hero has good skills. Let me learn some tricks!" The middle-aged man with beard, who has been watching silently, just tasting wine, put down his glass and stood up.

At the beginning of the black man's attack, Long Tiangang was so angry that he trembled all over. Had it not been for Luo Tianqiu to press his hand, he would have rushed forward.

When the two men were fighting, Luo Tianqiu occasionally noticed the movements of another man on the other side of Blackbeard Khan. Seeing that he ignored the situation in the arena, he seemed to have nothing to do with winning or losing, and drank one cup after another alone. The black man fell to the ground. He didn't even bother to look at it. He walked straight and slowly to the scene. His bones were fragile. With a gentle kick of his right foot, the black man flew up, and suddenly felt that the acupoints were unblocked, and there was a "kite turned over", standing right beside the wall.

"What a beautiful hand!" TianQiu sighed secretly. Generally, the manipulation of acupoints is performed by hand, which is intended to control the acupoints. However, the middle-aged man can use his feet to solve the acupoints, which is much more difficult. However, he can use it easily and easily. Although he intends to show off in front of others, his skill is really unique. Everyone at the scene said "OK!" The big beard showed his hand, and still looked indifferent.

Luo Tianqiu thought that this man was very accomplished, and the young man in white would suffer. He was ready to meet him at any time. At this time, the yellow face and big beard arched their hands and shouted "Please", which was not disrespectful of Jianghu etiquette. You should know that he is much older than the white-shirted youth, so you should give way to the ceremony first, lest others say that he bullies the small with the big.

The young man in white took off his long shirt and showed his tight shorts. He also had Luo Tianqiu's thoughts, and knew that he met an expert today. It is very important to be vague when fighting with an expert. Even in order to respect the identity of the other party, you should also show your humility and integrity to show your reputation.

The young man clasped his fists, fell down and said, "Please!" The left hand drew a solitary shape outward, and the right hand made a long fist. The move is flat and intended to meet the situation.

The yellow-faced man flicked his left hand and his five fingers on his right hand were like hooks. He grabbed it at the young man's chest. It was a "powerful eagle claw hand", with the wind blowing. The young man knows well and doesn't accept the invitation. With a flash of his body, he moved sideways to the left for a few feet, and his two fingers of his right hand were close together. He used the technique of "flying fingers to point acupoints" to point "Jingmen acupoints" under his side. His hand was very fast. The yellow-faced man turned his hand and clasped his right pulse door.

This hand is very powerful. If he buckles it, one arm must be broken. The young man quickly sank his right hand, leaned back, and jumped to the right and back to avoid the move. Luo Tianqiu secretly sweated for him.

The two men broke down about ten moves. The yellow man's "powerful eagle claw hand" moves are exquisite, and he has at least 20 years of cultivation. He really concentrated on ten fingers, and the wind of his fingers made the young man's face ache. After a few more moves, the young man has been in the downwind and is full of dangers.

At this time, the attack of Huang Lianhan was accelerated, fast and steady. A pair of hands were attached to the young man's side, turning around like a shadow.

Although the young people have excellent lightness skills and light body methods, they are also unable to escape from the forces of their opponents. The young man was at a loss, breathing heavily and producing fluid everywhere. It seems that the yellow-faced man still has a gloomy face. His moves are cruel and vicious. It seems that he will never forgive the young man lightly. I'm afraid that in a flash, the young man will be in danger of being dead on the spot.

Suddenly, yelled "!" The yellow-faced man grabbed his lower abdomen "Guanyuan acupoint" with his left hand. When the young man swallowed his chest and shrunk his belly and tried to dodge, how could it be a false move. The right hand is the first to arrive, and it is hard to grasp the young man's throat, which is as fast as lightning. The young man is not able to avoid it at this time, where can he avoid it, and the throat is broken immediately!

At this moment, when it was too late, the figure flashed in front of him. The people had not seen what had happened. The young man only felt a gentle force to push him away from the oblique stab for a few steps to avoid this frightening killing. The five fingers of the yellow-faced man were not empty. He only heard a sound of "pounce". It seemed that he had caught a steel bar and iron column. The five fingers were as painful as the heart. He suspected that the phalange had been broken.

When you look carefully, there is a young man standing in front of you, but not the one in the short coat, but Luo Tianqiu in the gray coat! Just now, Luo Tianqiu saw that the young man was worried about his death. He didn't have time to think about it. He jumped out of the stage like a flash of lightning and concentrated his energy on the whole body. He took this desperate move of "washing the sand with the waves" on behalf of the young man.

The yellow-faced man was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time. He has spent 20 years of cultivation on "Powerful Eagle Claw", which is an exquisite skill in "Eagle Claw". It is difficult for ordinary Wulin experts to dismantle. The young man in front of him took it without hesitation and was still intact. How about this skill! It seems that he is less than 20 years old. He practices martial arts when he falls from his mother's belly, but he has only 20 years of cultivation. It's amazing to take this move so lightly, and it's also a superb skill to frighten the soul and soul. If it's clever and false, it's definitely hard work.

Huang Lianhan is a great expert in martial arts. He knows that the newcomer has profound internal power and profound martial arts. It is no glory to fight against him. How did he know that Luo Tianqiu was kind-hearted, otherwise he would have to be seriously injured, for fear that all his internal organs would be damaged!

In fact, the yellow-faced man has lost.

"The elder 'Powerful Eagle Claw Hand' has extraordinary kung fu. I'm beyond my power. I'd like to ask for some tips!" Luo Tianqiu said courteously.

The yellow-faced man immediately arched his hands, smiled and said, "Your highness, just now I have learned it, and I can't compare it. I just admit defeat." He said sincerely and was convinced of defeat.

The man began to be arrogant and looked at others like air. Give TianQiu a move to defeat, and even admit defeat openly in public. It can be seen that although this person has a proud temperament, he is open-minded and really rare.

But you should know that many people in the Jianghu are narrow-minded, and even if they lose the game, they will have to fight in the future. So the gratitude and resentment in the Jianghu are endless, and the fight will never end. The so-called "chivalrous way" is just a grand statement.

Luo Tianqiu has just entered the Jianghu, but he doesn't know how valuable it is to be frank. I just think that the world is just like him. If you lose, you will lose. I don't mind. I just feel that this person is modest and polite, and politely said, "I flatter you, sir!"

The yellow faced man smiled modestly, "If you don't mind me, I would like to climb up to you and make friends. My friends in the Jianghu gave me a nickname, 'Hundred armed King Kong'. That's my younger martial brother, 'Bronze Arhat' Zhang Zaike. Taoist Priest Qiu of the Quanzhen Sect sits down as a disciple. Don't you know the names of two senior disciples?"

Luo Tianqiu hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Well, I'm sorry to disobey my order. I would like to comply with the order of the teacher and not show my inheritance. I sincerely hope that the elder generation will forgive me! That little brother is my new sworn brother Long Tiangang..."

Long Tiangang hurriedly approaches.

At the beginning, he was very angry with Su Jiang and his arrogant attitude. See him end. I can't wait to fight with him. Later, when he was polite to Brother Luo and even said "climb high", his heart softened. His brother Xie should have been respected, but he is reasonable. In addition, Brother Luo called him "righteous brother". Although it was awkward, he was treated as a brother! The feeling of joy was spontaneous, and he took a few steps before greeting, "My master is the Dingqing Buddhist nun of Dingqing Temple."

Su Jianghe heard the words, and immediately respected, "I have heard so much about it! Is the old man healthy? I have heard that her old man's' Jiuyou Yin Qi 'is a peerless magic skill! In my teacher, Elder Yuantong, I had a one-sided relationship with her old man. I often talk about Abbess's martial arts, but I have no chance to know it!"

"My Shifu has been practicing internal mental skills for many years, and rarely goes out, so she can't see her old man." Su Jianghe heard him say this, and was puzzled. He secretly thought to himself, "I have never heard that Qingshenni has accepted male disciples. This dragon Tiangang looks like a man, is it a woman disguised as a man?!" He couldn't help looking at dragon Tiangang more. Long Tiangang knew that he was suspicious and hurried to greet the boy in white.

At this time, the young man had already put on his long shirt, but his heart was palpitated. He bowed to the crowd timidly and said, "I'm Su Kun, blind, offending the seniors, begging for forgiveness!"

It turned out that he was the young master of the former "Suzi Villa", known as the "Golden Dragon", the head of the "Kunlun Sect", and the closing disciple of the "Thousand Illusion Swordsman", the non-return swordsman. I passed by this place because of my business, and fought with Su Jianghe, the "Hundred Arm King" of my family, and met Luo Tianqiu to save me. I escaped from death! I can't thank Luo Tian enough.

Su Jianghe also felt that he had just shot Moji and nearly missed, thanks to Luo Tianqiu. If you kill Su Kun, the "golden dragon", and offend the "thousand magic swordsman" and the non-return swordsman, that's enough. "Quanzhen Sect" and "Kunlun Sect" are settled. He is the culprit. Thinking of this, I can't help feeling grateful to Luo Tianqiu.

Su Jianghe hurriedly gave Su Kun a deep salute, "I'm awkwardness, I have offended so much just now. I hope you can forgive me!"

Su Kun hurriedly replied with courtesy, "Where did you say, Great Xia Su? I'm not good at learning. In the future, it's only right to practice hard behind closed doors."

"Brother Su's lightness skill is superb!" Luo Tianqiu said to Su Kun, "It's worthy of the reputation of the 'Golden Dragon'! The disadvantage lies in the lack of skill. If you refine your internal power and mental skill in the future, you will achieve great success."

"Take the advice of Great Xia Luo!" Su Kun nodded repeatedly and said happily, "I will follow your advice. Not far ahead is' Suzi Villa '. If you don't dislike it, please condescend to our villa for a chat!"

Long Tiangang is worried that he has no place to go today. He agrees with him. Luo Tianqiu looked at him and smiled. He wanted to be polite, but he couldn't help himself.

At this time, the guests in the teahouse had dispersed. Su Kun took out a large ingot of silver, enough to be twenty taels, and threw it to the shopkeeper to compensate for the damage to the furniture. The shopkeeper was overjoyed and repeatedly bowed to thank him.

Su Jiang and Zhang Zaike are two people. They have something to do. We can't delay it. We'll leave for a while.

Luo Tianqiu, Long Tiangang and Su Kun rode on their own mounts and slowly headed for "Suzi Villa".
