Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Linlu Town is a hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan.

    This town is not big, and there is not even a government office in the town. If someone wants to file a lawsuit, they have to go to Funing, which is dozens of miles away, to file a lawsuit.

    But this town is not as small as Cangling Town. At least there is more than one inn here, and there are many residents, shops and businessmen in the town.

    A few months ago, no one could have imagined that this small border town would become the center of the entire martial arts world.

    And now

    The brains of high-ranking sects, long-established strangers, and even worldly experts who have been hiding in the world for many yearshave all gathered here.

    Their purpose is the same, just for one thing.

    Jianghu is a wonderful place.

    Here, anyone can pursue something that does not belong to them, as long as they have the ability

    And the so-called morality and justice are often just excuses to facilitate people's behavior.

    The most important thing to gain a foothold in the world is strength.

    Morality without the support of strength is bullshit.

    It¡¯s worse than bullshit.

    "Strong people all understand this truth, so they only show that shit when they need it."

    Duan Keyi is also this kind of person.

    Of course, in this incident, he did hold some truth.

    ??According to his logic, it is natural for him to seek revenge from the real murderer when his apprentice was killed.  The murderer snatched "Sword Dance Notes" from Jiang San, and it makes sense for him, Duan Ke, to snatch it back.  As for how to distribute it after taking it back Since there is no one left in the Jiang family, it makes sense for him, the master, to take over the sword manual.

    In short, Duan Ke also insists on this theory. Even if it sounds a bit far-fetched, it is more reasonable than the thinking of "whoever gets it gets it."

    "It's a pity that even Duan Keyi himself understands that Jianghu has never been a place of reason.

    People who have nothing can get money, reputation, status, beauty

    People who have everything can lose everything here.

    Does this make sense?

    Even if there are, I am afraid that only one person in a million can understand this truth.

    Therefore, Duan Keyi¡¯s little bit of truth is bullshit in the eyes of others.

    ¡° Even if Jiang San came back from the dead today, no one would admit that this sword manual is his, let alone you, Duan Keyi?

    ¡°In the end, this is always a game of ¡°who gets it, who gets it¡±.

    So, among the people participating in this game, who are the most eye-catching or the most powerful?

    At present, it seems that there are four people.

    The first person is Duan Keyi.

    Jiang San is famous in the martial arts world for his "Hengjiang Sword", but Duan Keyi, the "master" who taught him martial arts, is not famous for his swordsmanship. From this point we can already see the latter's vast knowledge of martial arts.

    In fact, the identity of "Jiang San's mentor" is not important. The titles of "Dian Cang Sect Leader" and "Tan Yun Xia Ke" are important, because they symbolize strength.

    In this era, the Diancang Sect is one of the most powerful and famous sects. It can be said to be outstanding in terms of the number and quality of its disciples, as well as its business and prestige in Taoism. It can be said that it is the "head" of this sect.  The martial arts and city government of a man in this position are really hard to fathom.

    Based on this "strength" and combined with the previous "reason", Duan Ke also deserves a place among the four.

    Come again, let¡¯s talk about the second person

    Taoist Mian.

    Taoist priests often use vegetation as names, such as "stone, plum, bamboo, spring, stream", etc., to appear elegant and free from dust.

    "But the title "Mian Taoist" is indeed a bit strange.

    From this name, you can not only hear a lot of elegance, but also a bit of weakness.

    However, this Taoist's martial arts are completely opposite to his Taoist name.

    No one knows where Taoist Mian learned his martial arts, and no one knows which Taoist temple he was a monk in. What people know is that one day, a sword-wielding Taoist suddenly appeared in the world.  A jet black dark iron heavy sword.

    This sword is extremely dull, as if it has no blade.  But countless masters have died under this blunt sword.

    ¡°Throughout the world so far, Mian Taoist has never failed.

    It seems that he can get what he wants, and what he wants to do can be done.Then, there is the third person.

    It¡¯s cold as autumn.

    This should be the most mysterious one among the four.

    He has no friends, although many people want to be his friends.

    He also has no enemies, because those who become his enemies will soon disappear from this world.

    He spoke very little, as if every word he said was a loss to him.

    He has very few deeds, because he is very low-key; and the main manifestation of this "low-key" is he rarely leaves anyone alive under his command.

    The truly powerful murderer is not the kind of person who scares you as soon as you hear his name; he is the kind of person who clearly has a lot of blood debt, but when he stands in front of you, you still know nothing about him.

    Leng Yuqiu is this kind of person.

    Although he eventually became a famous character, the difference from others is that in the entire martial arts world, no one or "living person" has ever seen his martial arts.

    People can only look at his sword that seems to have never been unsheathed, and imagine how many dead souls have been under this sword, and the process by which these people were taken away from their lives.

    It¡¯s just ¡°imagination¡±, because ¡°testing¡± may make you become one of those dead souls

    So finally, let¡¯s talk about the remaining one among the four

    Wang Qiong.

    This person is not a martial artist, but a businessman.

    It is a pity that he does not have a name like "Qian Million" like many businessmen in literary works.

    Of course, Wang Qiong is not his real name.

    As a person who has been living on the streets begging for as long as he can remember, the names he was called the most since childhood were probably "little beggar" or "stinky beggar". As for what his parents would call him, they might have to wait until he reaches Jiuquan.  I can only ask them when I meet them next time.

    In short, he came up with the word "Wang Qiong" himself. He hoped that this name could always remind him of the taste of poverty.

    Because he knowsOnly those who have been poor can truly understand the value of money.

    A person who is born rich has a different understanding of money than a person who has spent half his life in poverty before becoming rich.  It's like a person who is born healthy and a person who is born lame and miraculously cured decades later have absolutely different views on walking.

    Wang Qiongnaturally belongs to the latter.

    He was once poorer than anyone else, so poor that he robbed dogs from other people's yards to eat, and was so poor that he hid in a pigsty to keep warm; but now he is richer than anyone else, so rich that he doesn't even know how long it would take to spend all his money.  Being rich enough to buy anything

    Different from the three mentioned before, Wang Qiong should be the safest competitor in this "game"; because he has no need to take risks He can wait until the end, and use  The most powerful and unique weapon in his hand, money, is used to achieve final victory.

    In fact, more than half of the people who gathered in Linlu Town this time were working for Wang Qiong

    These people are not very interested in sword manuals. Their thoughts are: What is the purpose of practicing martial arts and wandering around in the world?  Don¡¯t you just want fame and fortune?  After selling the sword manual to Wang Qiong, and getting a sum of money that could never be spent in a lifetime, wouldn't it be equivalent to bypassing the complicated and dangerous process and directly reaching the ultimate goal?

    So, Wang Qiong, who does not belong to the world at all, is the one with the greatest chance of winning among the four I have to say, this is an irony.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At noon, the sun was shining brightly, but the snow on the ground still hadn¡¯t melted.

    The lobby of "Ke Lai Xuan" seemed very lively.

    In addition to those who wanted tea and food, there were also a large group of guys coming in and out, coming and goingI don't know what they were busy with.

    This scene would only appear in the morning on ordinary days.

    In a border town like this, the most frequent business travelers are business travelers; when it gets dark, all the guests who are in a hurry get up.  All kinds of people were vying for tea and water, and trying to hitch their mules and horses into the cart. During that time, the clerk in the store wanted to lift his two feet up and use them as his hands. It was the most chaotic day.  when.

    However, since the news spread that "Sword Dance Chronicle" will appear in Linlu Town on New Year's Eve, almost every inn in this town is busy from morning to night in this state.

    The shopkeepers of the inn also had mixed feelings. They were happy that they were making a lot of money every day, but they were worried because they were afraid that the guests would cause trouble.

    "ah"

    No, on the afternoon of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, aThe scream became the first drop of boiling oil to explode in the pot of muddy water.

    At the same time as the screams, there was a burst of broken wooden windows and the sound of a person falling from a height to the ground.

    Soon, an additional body appeared on the street in front of Ke Laixuan.

    Pedestrians on the street quickly gathered in a circle, watching from a certain distance, talking all over the place.

    Among the guests in the lobby some ran out immediately to take a look; some sat in place, as steady as a mountain, as if nothing happened outside; and some stood up at the first moment, but after thinking for a moment  , sat down again.

    "The one who fell down must be Ma Dabeard." Not long after, a square-faced man sitting at a square table facing the door said.

    "Hmm." An old man sitting next to him continued, "The broken window is from Ma Dabeard's room."

    The square-faced man said: "Ma Dabeard's martial arts is not weak."

    "Not weak." The old man said: "With just the 'double-shaped life-saving palm' in his hand, he can be ranked among the first-class masters."

    The square-faced man said: "But he is dead now."

    The old man nodded: "It seems he is dead."

    The square-faced man said: "A man who is good at using palms is beaten backwards and falls to his death through a broken window. What does it mean?"

    The old man smiled: "It means there is someone in that guest room who is better at using his hands than him."

    The square-faced man said: ¡°There are not many people like that.¡±

    The old man said: "Not much."

    The square-faced man said: "Dian Cang's leader Duan Ke is one of them."

    The old man echoed: "Well with the internal strength of Master Duan, he can defeat the bearded horse simply by using force over skill."

    The square-faced man added: "The leader of the Kuanghu Gang, the 'Tiger-faced Arhat' Tu Ji also counts as one."

    The old man said: "The Arhat's Tiger Palm is indeed better than the double-shaped Life-Calling Palm."

    The square-faced man said again: "The leader of the Beggar Clan, Luo Can, naturally has to be one."

    The old man said: "Since Gang Leader Luo has mastered the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms that have been lost for many yearsthen he must be one of them."

    At this point, the square-faced man shrugged and smiled: "Uncle Liu, who do you think killed Ma Dabeard?"

    "Uncle Liu replied: "Young master is very smart, so I think I already have the answer in my mind. In my humble opinion, I might as well not tell you."

    "Haha" The square-faced man laughed again, "Uncle Liu is joking, my 'eyesight' is not half as good as yours. Just based on the quick glance when the bearded horse fell maybe I was wrong.  Woolen cloth."

    Uncle Liu was complimented by this "young master", but he didn't show any joy: "Even if it was just a glance, the young master must have seen that the murderer deliberately concealed his true identity by 'controlling the enemy', right?  "

    The smile on the young master¡¯s face became even brighter: ¡°That¡¯s a man who uses a sword.¡±

    Liu Bo said: "Yes."

    The young master said: "Among those who use swords, there are not many who can kill Ma Dabeard with palm skills."

    Liu Bodao: "There is only one person who meets this condition and happens to live in this inn"

    Just as the conversation between these two people was progressing, there was a man and a woman on the other side of the door, bypassing the crowd and walking into the store.

    The man looked to be in his early twenties, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome appearance, and a long sword on his back; the girl next to him was about the same age and had a very iconic appearance, with a cute and cute face.  face.

    The old gangsters sitting in the lobby of the hotel all had venomous eyes. With just one look, they could deducethese two people were either lovers, brothers and sisters, or very close senior fellow apprentices.

    Although the man and woman did not make any intimate moves, the distance they kept between them, the frequency of their walks, and the tacit understanding shown in their gestures were enough to show that their relationship was quite close.

    "Shopkeeper, are there any guest rooms?" The young man walked to the counter in a few steps, faced the shopkeeper, and asked.

    The shopkeeper's reaction was also very quick. His attention instantly shifted back from the dead body outside the door, and he replied almost instinctively: "Uh Sir, recently the guest room in the shop has been a bit  nervous¡­¡­"

    "I understand." The young man knew what the shopkeeper meant, "We only need one room, and the price you pay according to the 'current price'."

    "Hey~ Okay." The shopkeeper of Ke Laixuan is very greedy for money and very courageous. Therefore, even if there is no explanation for the life of the person outside the door, he immediately narrowed his eyes after hearing the young man's words.  Eyes smiled.

    He is like thisHe smiled and took out the accounting book, picked up the brush and started writing. While writing, he asked: "This young hero, please leave your name."

    The young man replied in a very calm tone: "Huangfu Mingkang." (To be continued.)
