The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sword

CHAPTER 4 (The words about death and disaster have uncertain meanings)

Just to see him write those words over and over again, in so many different ways, his punches became increasingly longer, his arm movements were getting slower, until they started moving so easily, he said, it was as if he was practicing martial arts. Zhang CuiShan, fixated on his master's movements, was amazed and overjoyed. His master had combined twenty-four characters into one powerful martial arts style.

Filled with pain and frustration, having nowhere to vent, Zhang CuiShan threw and turned the bed for over two hours. He then quietly got up, and decided to beat up Du DaJin to vent his frustration. Afraid that his elder brother and four would stop him, Zhang CuiShan remained silent as he walked through the passageway. As he entered the main hall, he saw a man with both hands behind his back, pacing continuously.

In the darkness, his eyes stared at the tall shadow figure, made heavy steps, and realized that it was his master. He immediately stopped, knowing his master would detect further movement. If the teacher asks why he woke up, Zhang CuiShan should tell him the truth.

Just to see Zhang SanFeng pacing around for a moment, inspecting his surroundings, when he suddenly raised his right hand, and started writing characters in midair. Zhang SanFeng was a martial arts scholar and master, and his students often saw him reciting poetry and writing characters. So it was not unusual for him to do such a thing. Zhang CuiShan looked at the punch he made in midair, realizing that his character was 'Disturbance Grief'. After repeatedly writing both characters several times, he followed up with the character 'Tea Poison'. Then he suddenly came to a realization, "Teacher wrote the character in 'The Power of Grief Disorder Writing'." Zhang CuiShan earned the nickname 'Silver Hook and Iron Brush', as he used the silver Tiger Hook with his left hand, and the Iron Magistrate's Brush with his right. After earning this nickname, he realized that scholars would probably ridicule him as a fake scholar, so he began studying literature as hard as his kung fu. Zhang SanFeng was indeed writing in the 'Disturbation Grief Writing Style' created by Wang XiZhi. Now his master's finger brush does not degrade or retract, does not return or repeat, following the intent of the 'Notice of Grief Disorder'.

Zhang CuiShan had seen this style of writing two years ago. He recalled that the use of brushes emphasized easy strokes from top to bottom, his words clear and powerful but difficult to pull up. Zhang CuiShan has always liked the 'Ported Writing Style of Orchid Pavilion Poems', the 'Seventeen Writing Style' and others who are more grand and solemn in nature. At this moment, when he saw his master's finger writing in the air, "Bored with respect: Great sorrow and chaos, the ancestral graves again tormented, hard to bring back." Each punch was filled with an aura of gloom and sadness. He saw how Wang XiZhi felt when he created this 'Speaking Disorder Writing Style.

Wang XiZhi lived in the Eastern Jin period. He was born to a prosperous family, but was not of Han descent. His family went south to avoid chaos. During this time of turmoil, the grave of his ancestor was robbed, which deeply grieved his heart, and was quite evident in the 'Issional Disorder Writing Style'. As a jolly youngster, how could Zhang CuiShan understand the nature of this writing style? But the severe injuries of his siblings eventually allowed him to understand the depth of 'The Writing Power of Misadventure'.

Zhang SanFeng repeated those words a few times, sighed deeply, walked to the center of the room, paused for a moment, then started writing again. This time, his back shot looked different. Zhang CuiShan followed Zhang SanFeng's finger, seeing that the first character written was 'Martial', the second was 'World'. Successively, Zhang SanFeng wrote a total of twenty-four characters, exactly the phrase they discussed earlier, 'The slaughter of the most honorable sword dragon in the martial world, Control all under Heaven, is, No one dared not to follow. Heaven power did not appear, who might be able to compete? ' Zhang CuiShan thought his teacher wrote it to better understand the meaning behind these words, and deduced the cause of Yu DaiYan's injury. But how did this incident have anything to do with the Dragon Sword and Heaven Sword, the two supreme mythical weapons?

Just to see him write those words over and over again, in so many different ways, his punches became increasingly longer, his arm movements were getting slower, until they started moving so easily, he said, it was as if he was practicing martial arts. Zhang CuiShan, fixated on his master's movements, was amazed and overjoyed. His master had combined twenty-four characters into one powerful martial arts style. Each character contains many moves, with more variety. The characters 'Dragon' and 'Compete' contain many scratches, while the words 'Sabre' and 'Under' have few, but longer characters are not written in haste, or a roughly shorter character, a contracted scratch is just as conspicuous, as an unyielding cancer worm, a vertical stroke is just as dangerous, as a hazy crafty bunny, or a hazy, shrewd rabbit, the dots were written easily, yet strong and sturdy, the long slope looked like a blowing wind, dancing snow, the thick and heavy part looked like a tiger squat, the elephant footsteps, the, just to see some blows hovering in the air, like a snow dance, while the others were as heavy as a tiger roar, moving like an elephant. Zhang CuiShan's eyes followed the movement closely, and instinctively began to memorize it. These twenty-four characters contained two 'Not' and two 'Heaven'. Each one is written in a unique way. Zhang CuiShan's eyes followed the movement closely, and instinctively began to memorize it. These twenty-four characters contained two 'Not' and two 'Heaven'. Each one is written in a unique way. Zhang CuiShan's eyes followed the movement closely, and instinctively began to memorize it. These twenty-four characters contained two 'Not' and two 'Heaven'. Each one is written in a unique way.

In recent years, Zhang SanFeng has rarely taught kung fu. Song YuanQiao and Yu LianZhou taught his last two disciples, Muo ShengGu and Yin LiTing. So despite being the fifth disciple, Zhang CuiShan was truly the last person Zhang SanFeng had ever taught himself. Previously, Zhang CuiShan's knowledge was limited, and rarely understood the profound concepts behind most of the martial arts skills Zhang SanFeng displayed. But since then he has come a long way with the experiences of the last few years, plus the fact that they share the same feelings tonight, two hearts as one, meeting misfortune and feeling sad, he said, faced torture and took him away. Under these extraordinary circumstances, Zhang SanFeng transformed these twenty-four characters into a kind of martial art. He clearly did not plan for it, just as coincidentally that Zhang CuiShan would see it as this moment. The two of them, one watched while the other practiced, immersing themselves into these words, forgetting the outside world.

Zhang SanFeng repeatedly wrote those words for over four hours, until the moon rose up into the sky. Sweep, the right palm straight down, like the sparkle of a star or a sword, thus completing the final blow of the last character 'fighting'.

Zhang SanFeng then looked up at the sky, and said, "CuiShan, what do you think of my writing ability?"

Zhang CuiShan gasped in shock, as he did not expect his master to notice him without ever turning around. He immediately walked out of his hiding place, and said, “For your disciple to personally see Master displaying an incredible look, words cannot even begin to describe my feelings. I'll look for others so they can learn it too. "

Zhang SanFeng shook his head, saying, “I'm stuck at this moment, which is why this looks so good. If you want me to repeat it again, I doubt I can write this well. In addition, other students also do not understand about calligraphy. Even if they saw it, they would have a hard time understanding it. ” As he spoke, he walked out of the main hall.

Zhang CuiShan did not dare to sleep, for fear of forgetting such complicated techniques, and immediately sat in a meditating position. Every punch of every pull, every movement of every variation, was secretly recorded into his memory. Sometimes, he wrote down some characters of joy. Even Zhang CuiShan himself could not remember how long it would take him, but he ended up taking down twenty-four of those characters, instead, and two hundred and fifteen variations - there are 215 strokes in those 24 characters - into his memory.

He stood up, practiced once, and felt his body light and calm like a cloud, very fresh. After he finished, he looked up, blinking slightly, only to see the sun high in the western sky. Zhang CuiShan calmed down, not believing that this was past noon, but finally realized that he had been practicing for over half a day.

Zhang CuiShan wiped away the sweat on his face, and walked into Yu DaiYan's room, only to see Zhang SanFeng healing Yu DaiYan with his inner strength. After asking, Zhang CuiShan learned that Song YuanQiao, Zhang SongXi, and Yin LiTing had left in the morning. None of them said goodbye, as they did not want to disturb his meditation. The people from the Dragon Gate Guard Body also left. Although Zhang CuiShan's clothes were now drenched in sweat, Zhang CuiShan was in too much of a hurry to replace them. He quickly picked up his weapon and his usual clothes, took the travel money, and returned to Yu DaiYan's room, saying, "Teacher. Your students will leave. " Zhang SanFeng nodded, slightly smiling.

Zhang CuiShan walked to the bedside, only to see Yu DaiYan's blackish-gray face, his entire body almost like a dead man. With pain in Zhang CuiShan's heart, he said, "Third brother, even if it sacrifices my life, I will take your revenge." He then performed kowtows to his master three times, and left.

He rode a mottled long-legged horse down Mount Wu Dang. By the time he left Wu Dang, it was already very late afternoon. Night came after driving south for only about twenty miles. Just as he entered the roadside inn, dark clouds gathered in the sky, followed by heavy rain. This rain lasted all night. The next morning, he woke up in a very damp room, with the sound of heavy rain hitting the roof outside. Zhang CuiShan bought a hat from the innkeeper, and continued driving despite the clear weather. Fortunately, his horse was a precious stallion, which remained on its feet despite galloping over the extremely slippery mud.

After arriving at the banks of the Yellow River, he saw a thick yellow river wave rolling down the river, the current was almost impossible for anyone to cross. He learned from the surrounding residents that the water downstream had flooded the riverbanks, and destroyed the residents there. As Zhang CuiShan entered the nearby town, only to see flood victims fleeing to the city, everyone was drenched in water.

As he traveled across the city, Zhang CuiShan saw a row of riders in front, who happened to be people from the Dragon Gate Guard Body. He rushed over, passed them, and blocked their path.

Depressed upon seeing Zhang CuiShan, Du DaJin stuttered, "A ... What do you need, Fifth Hero Zhang?" Zhang CuiShan said, "Have you seen the homeless from the flood?" Du DaJin did not expect this question, paused for a moment, then replied, "Why are you asking?" Zhang CuiShan grinned, saying, “Doing good deeds is always right. How about donating gold to the needy? ” Du DaJin's face turned pale, saying, “People like us risk our lives while we work. How do we find the money to save the homeless? ” Zhang CuiShan lowered his voice, saying, "Why don't you take two thousand taels of gold, and donate them?" Du DaJin grabbed his sword, asking, "Are you deliberately looking for trouble today?" Zhang CuiShan said, “Ya. I will make money any way today. "

Sub-leaders Zhu and Shi took out their weapons, and moved next to Du DaJin. Meanwhile, Zhang CuiShan remained empty-handed, grinned, and then said, “Leader Du, you took your customer's money, but did you complete the requested task? Do you really dare to keep gold? "

Du DaJin said with a purple face, “But Hero Yu was sent to Wu Dang Mountain alive, right? He was already injured when we brought him in, and he's still not dead until now. " Zhang CuiShan said angrily, “Do you really think you can get out of here? Was my third brother's joint broken before you drove him? "

Before Du DaJin could respond, deputy leader Shi interjected, "Say what you want us to do." Zhang CuiShan said, "I will break every bone in your arm and leg!" As he said this, he immediately flew forward. Vice-leader Shi quickly raised his staff to attack, while Zhang CuiShan's left hand swooped down and left, writing down the long slope of the newly learned kung fu in the character of 'Heaven'. The staff of sub-leader Shi fell out of his hands, and fell off the horse. Vice leader Zhu wanted to retreat, but how could he be fast enough? Zhang CuiShan very naturally completed the character of "Heaven" with a short angled right part, a finger swept over the waist of vice leader Zhu, grabbed him, and threw him and saddle a few meters away, in one smooth motion. Because Vice Leader Zhu's leg was firmly stuck in the stirrup, plus Zhang CuiShan's movements were too strong, so the saddle completely broke off from his horse. With his feet firmly fixed in the stirrup, Vice Leader Zhu could not get up.

Surprised at the attack being so fast and smooth, Du DaJin quickly made his horse move forward. Zhang CuiShan turned around quickly, gathered his energy, and unleashed his left fist. This attack was a vertical blow to the character of 'Under', who hit Du DaJin's chest flatly. Kungfu Du DaJin was much better than Zhu and Shi, and did not fall off his horse. With great anger, he curled his horse, tried to get off his horse to fight, when he suddenly felt a surge of pain from his throat, and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He staggered, taking a deep breath, only to feel another lump of hot blood, surging within. Although he tried to be tough, his body could not hold back, his knees weakened, and fell to the ground.

The three young sub-leaders and everyone else could only watch on guard, who would dare to step forward to help?

Zhang CuiShan had originally planned to break their arms and legs, to help vent his frustration, but after seeing the three agency leaders hurt so deeply, especially Du DaJin, he now felt a little guilty. He had never realized how powerful this new 'Kung Fu of Heaven and Dragon' was. Zhang CuiShan said, “Listen. Today I will stop here. But you have to promise to give all your money to the homeless, so they can rebuild their homes. Don't try to cheat. If I find out that you are saving money for yourself, I will knock down your Dragon Gate Guard Agent, and kill every living and breathing person within it. " That last sentence came from Du DaJin's story of what that Yin customer said, so he conveniently used it.

Du DaJin tried to get up, only to feel his back hurt so much, and started coughing up blood again. Vice-leaders Zhu and Shi only had a few scratches, but did not dare to go against Zhang CuiShan anymore. Vice-leader Shi said, “Fifth Hero Zhang, since we were unable to complete our task, we had to return the money to our customers. After all, the money's back at the agent. How can we use it to help these homeless people? ”

Zhang CuiShan said with a cold smile, “Do you think I am still a child? All your kung fu experts come for this shipment. There are only family members in the agency. Are you really going to save so much money with them? ” He surveyed the surroundings, and walked to one of the carts. Zhang CuiShan raised his palm to hit the suitcase, 'Bang, Bang, Bang', the suitcase on the wagon shattered, as the golden chunk fell.

The leaders' faces turned pale, as they wondered, "How did he know it was in that wagon?" They did not realize that even though Zhang CuiShan was young, he was intelligent and experienced. He saw this wagon making the heaviest mold. And the three guarding men did not try to move at all when the leader was attacked. Therefore, this case should contain some valuable items. After laughing coldly, Zhang CuiShan got up with his horse, and ran over.

He felt very happy, knowing that due to Du DaJin's fear for the safety of his relatives, he would definitely give the money to the needy. As he continued cycling, Zhang CuiShan repeated variations of those twenty-four characters in his head. That night when he first saw this kung fu, he just felt it was mysterious and strange. Only when used in battle did Zhang CuiShan realize his strength. To him, learning a powerful new kung fu felt ten times better than obtaining a priceless treasure. Finally, when he recalled Yu DaiYan's condition, Zhang CuiShan could only sigh in sorrow.

He traveled for a few days in heavy rain. Even with the endurance of his spotted horse, fatigue appeared after a while. By the time he arrived in Shan Xi province, his horse had become somewhat ill. Taking care of the health of his horse, Zhang CuiShan traveled very slowly for quite some time. So it was already the thirty day of the fourth month when he arrived at Lin An city.

She booked a room at a local inn, and wondered, “I traveled too slowly. I wonder if Du DaJin and his people have returned to the agency. Where can my second and seventh brothers be? Also, given my quarrel with Du DaJin and the others, I guess I can't go to their agency openly. I should have gone quietly tonight. "

After dinner, after asking the inn worker, he discovered that the location of the Dragon Gate Guard Body was located on the edge of the West Lake. In the market, he bought a new robe and a very famous Hang Zhou fan. After which he bathed, combed his hair, and changed his clothes, Zhang CuiShan looked in the mirror, only to see himself not looking like a kung fu expert, but rather a scholar. Zhang CuiShan lifted the brush, thinking he should write a poem on it, and spontaneously wrote the poem Heaven Sword and Dragon Sword, each stroking naturally and elegantly. Looking at that fan again, he thought, “Wow! Even my writing skills improved from learning this new kung fu. These words look so good. ” He folds the fan, walks out, towards West Lake.

Even before the end of the Southern Sung Dynasty, Lin An had fallen under the control of the Mongolians. Due to its location as the capital of the Southern Sung Dynasty, the Mongolians were very tired of its citizens, afraid they might love the old regime too much. Therefore, they set a hard and firm policy to their citizens. That's why most people move to other places. A hundred years ago, Lin An was a very prosperous place, but that was the past.

As Zhang CuiShan walked down the street, he only saw broken houses, dust in his eyes, as the former famous city in the Lower Yangtze River region had turned into almost a ghost town. Although the sun had yet to set, all the citizens had already closed their doors and windows, only to see Mongolian patrol soldiers marching down the street. Zhang CuiShan did not want any unnecessary trouble, so he immediately hid in the alley after hearing the sound of the troops.

Long ago, lanterns would light up rivers at night, but now, only darkness covered the city, with no pedestrians in sight. Zhang CuiShan followed the innkeeper's instructions to the Dragon Gate Guard Body.

The body consists of five buildings, one connected behind the other, the gate facing the West Lake, with a pair of stone lions adorning the entrance. Zhang CuiShan looked at the large houses from afar, walking slowly towards him, only to see a boat anchored in the lake outside. Two lanterns lit up the front of the boat, with one person tasting the wine under the candlelight. Zhang CuiShan thought, "This guy is in an artistic mood." Just to see the lantern outside the agency go out, the large front door shut tightly, probably meant everyone inside was already asleep.

Zhang CuiShan walked up to the main gate and thought, “Du DaJin said that someone brought a third brother here a month ago. I wonder who that is? " While pondering, he suddenly heard a deep sigh from behind him.

This sigh sounded like a ghost in the silent darkness of the night. Zhang CuiShan quickly turned around, observing the area, but other than one person on the ship, there was no one else around. Zhang CuiShan felt uneasy, observing the person on board, only to see him wearing a green robe, dressed scientifically, like himself. With the dim lighting, Zhang CuiShan was unable to see his face clearly, but his cheeks looked extremely pale, as lanterns shone on it, looking like green waves on the lake itself. Alone the boat in the freezing water, cold and dark, seemed to be out of this world. The person sat quietly on the boat, and for a very long time, other than the sleeves that were blown off by the wind, there was no movement.

Zhang CuiShan originally wanted to sneak into the building, but changed his mind after seeing the man on the boat, thinking that it was not the right thing to do. So he went to the door and knocked three times. In the silence of the night, the sounds of these three beats could be heard from afar. But for a long time, no one came to the door. Zhang CuiShan knocked on the door three more times, this time a little louder, almost injuring his ear. Again he could not hear the movement from within. Unsure of what had happened, he reached out and pushed open the door, only to see it open without a sound, as it was unlocked. Zhang CuiShan entered the courtyard and shouted, "Is your Guard Leader Du here?" As he spoke, he walked into the main hall.

The main hall is completely dark, with no candlelight. Suddenly, the main gate closed quickly behind him.

Zhang CuiShan hesitated for a moment, turning towards the gate, only to see it tightly closed, the key was now plugged in, meaning that there was someone here with him. Zhang CuiShan smiled coldly, thinking, "What is all this about?" Given the situation, he might as well enter the main hall.

So he stepped into the room, only to hear the sound of the wind coming from all directions, as four people surrounded him. Zhang Cuishan jumped out of danger. In the darkness, a white light glittered, only to see the weapon in everyone's hands. He quickly moved to the left, towards the west side, as his right fist swept out, hitting Sun Point from one of the attackers, instantly shocking him, followed by his left hand sweeping from top right down to bottom left, the waist of another person. These are the first two strokes of 'no'. Zhang CuiShan's left hand then swooped down, as his right fist shot out and wrote a 'point', completing the entire 'no' character through these four punches, knocking out all four attackers.

He did not know exactly who the attacker was, so Zhang CuiShan did not use much force, only around thirty percent or so. When the fourth man fell, breaking a chair along the way, he shouted, “I can't believe you're so venomous. If you're a real man, then you'll have to leave your name. " Zhang CuiShan said with a smile, “If I am truly venomous, do you think you will live now? My name is Zhang CuiShan. ” The guy flinched, as if very surprised. He said, “You really are Fifth Hero Wu Dang.... Zhang CuiShan 'Silver Hook Iron Brush'? You're not just pretending? ”

Zhang CuiShan smiled, reached into his robe and took out his weapon. His left hand held the Silver Tiger Hook, and his right hand held the Iron Judge Brush, as the two weapons rubbed against each other, several sparks appeared.

During this brief moment of light, Zhang CuiShan saw four people wearing yellow monk robes lying in front of him, as these were monks. Of course, those monks also saw his current appearance. Two monks stared intently at him, their eyes filled with hatred. Perplexed, Zhang CuiShan asked, "May I ask for your name?"

Just to hear a monk shout, “It seems we can't take revenge today. Let's go!" As he spoke, the four monks got up, about to leave. But one of them suddenly fell down after walking a few steps, probably because Zhang CuiShan hurt him too deeply. Two monks came back to carry him.

Zhang CuiShan shouted, “Can you wait a moment? Revenge for what... ”Before he can finish it, the monks have jumped over the wall.

Zhang CuiShan felt that something was amiss, but could not show a proper reason. Why are there four monks hiding in the Dragon Gate Guard Body? Why did they ambush him? And what's with this 'revenge' deal? He thought, “Definitely residents here will know.” He raised his voice and asked, “Is Escort Leader Du home? Is Escort Leader Du home? ” In the empty hall, echoes echoed from the wall, yet there was no response.

Zhang CuiShan thought, “Of course not all of them sleep well, until no one hears me. Are they afraid of me, and just hiding? Or maybe they all left? ” He lit a match, only to see some candles on a nearby table. He then lit a candle and walked to the room in the back. After just a few steps, Zhang CuiShan saw a woman lying on the floor without moving. He shouted, "Sister, what happened?" The woman remained silent. Zhang CuiShan placed a hand under his shoulder and pulled it up, then moved the candle to his face, and panted.

Just to see this woman smiling, but her muscles were tense, and had been dead for several hours. Zhang CuiShan thought he was dead when he touched it, but still felt strange as he was about to die with a smile on his face. He stood up, only to see someone behind the left pillar. Walking closer, he saw an old man dressed as a servant, also dying with a smile on his face.

Dazed, Zhang CuiShan took out his silver hook and observed the room with a candle. He found several tens of people dead both inside and outside all the houses, indeed the place was full of corpses, absolutely no one was alive. After traveling around the world for so many years, Zhang CuiShan had seen many tragedies, but there had never been a massacre like this. His heart was pounding, only to see his own shadow trembling on the wall. Because his hand was wobbly, shaking the candle with it, and of course his shadow as well.

Suddenly, he recalled something, "If you fail to make this delivery, I will kill everyone in the Dragon Gate Guard Body." Clearly, these people died because of Du DaJin's mistake, unable to protect Yu DaiYan on the way to Wu Dang. He then thought, “That guy obviously killed these people because of his third brother. Which means he should be a friend of the third brother. But why would the third brother befriend such a cruel person? After all, he was clearly much better than Du DaJin in terms of kung fu, so why didn't he drop off his third brother himself? ” The more Zhang CuiShan thinks, the more mysterious this whole deal is. He walked out the door to the west. With the light of the candle, he saw two yellow-robed monks, leaning against the wall, inspecting it.

Zhang CuiShan took a few steps back, tightened the grip on his hook, and asked, "What do you want?" Only to see the two monks not moving, when suddenly, he realized that they too had died. Zhang CuiShan flinched, shouting loudly. "Oh no. Revenge, revenge.. ”Didn't those monks say something like,“ I can't believe you were so venomous. If you're a real man, give me your name. " And also, "It looks like we can't take revenge today." It seems that he will be blamed for the deaths of these people. At a time when he was still confused about everything, Zhang CuiShan not only mentioned his name, but also showed his famous silver hook and iron brush. But who exactly was that yellow-robed monk?

Zhang CuiShan suddenly realized that he was taking out the four monks too quickly, and was therefore unable to understand their kung fu. But from that exchange, he could feel the monks were using a force-oriented style of hard kung fu. Du DaJin was a Shaolin disciple, so these people were most likely Shaolin monks. But where are the second and seventh brothers? The master asked them to protect the people from the Dragon Gate Guard Body. Could it be that the killer is so powerful that even my second brother cannot handle it?

Zhang CuiShan realized that the fleeing monks would say that he was the killer, and Shaolin would eventually look for him. But Zhang CuiShan thought, “I can explain everything later, and the truth will be revealed someday. At that time, there was definitely no assassin who could escape the search for Wu Dang and Shaolin. It's more important for me to find second and seventh brothers now. " He blew out the candle, walked over to the side of the wall, and jumped out.

The assailant was shocked because Zhang CuiShan was able to dodge his attack so easily, unable to resist saying 'huh?' Then he shouted, "Huh, you're pretty good, son."

Zhang CuiShan placed his brush and hook in front of his chest, then pointed down in the 'Available Learning' position'. This was a typical pose of Wu Dang as a sign of respect to an older opponent. If Zhang CuiShan had not learned the new kung fu from his master, that final strike would have at least broken his shoulder. But despite being furious, Zhang CuiShan did not forget the teachings of his teacher, and left courtesy when facing the opponent.

In the darkness he faintly saw two yellow-robed monks on his left and right, each with a large, thick staff. The one on the left said, “Zhang CuiShan, Seven Heroes Wu Dang is quite famous in the martial world. But how can it be so cruel? "

The moment Zhang CuiShan heard the monk call him by his name, instead of 'Fifth Hero Zhang' or 'Tn. Zhang CuiShan', he felt an outpouring of anger, and replied in a cold manner, “You did not ask for an explanation, or seek the truth. Instead you hide in the darkness and sneak towards me. Is that what a hero should do? I have heard that Shaolin kung fu is unrivalled, but did not realize that their ability to sneak into enemies is also very remarkable. "

The monk snorted loudly, jumped on top of the wall and attacked at the same time with his staff. Even before the monk landed, Zhang CuiShan felt a strong wind coming from the end of the stick towards his chest, and quickly diverted the staff with his hook. The brush shot, hitting the middle of the stick. The monk suddenly felt a strong shock coming from the stick, which prevented him from gaining balance on the wall, falling. Zhang CuiShan only felt a lot of numbness in both of his hands, thinking, "The strength of this monk is quite good." He asked, "May I ask your name?"

The monk on the right said, “I Yuan Yin. This is my martial brother Yuan Ye. " Zhang CuiShan said, “Oh, so you are the Yuan generation in Shaolin. May I ask why you are here? "

Yuan Yin looked breathless as she spoke, saying, “This is a serious matter between us Wu Dang and Shaolin. Even though we are from the younger generation, we still have to intervene in this matter. I'm asking you. Now you have killed everyone in the Dragon Gate Protection Agency, other than my two nephews. I want to ask, how did Fifth Hero Zhang wish to resolve this dilemma involving so many deaths. " Despite the polite nature of his tone, his words were extremely critical.

Zhang CuiShan said coldly, “I am also trying to find out who killed these people. But because you were so sure that I did, I'm asking you. Did you really see me kill someone? ” Yuan Yin Shouts, “Hui Feng. Why don't you chat with Hero Zhang? ”

Four yellow-robed monks emerged from the forest, which was the same as the one Zhang CuiShan had destroyed earlier. The monk named Hui Feng stepped forward and said, “Smartial uncle. That was him. He killed everyone in the agency, plus Hui Tong's brother and Hui Guang. " Yuan Yin said, "You saw it with your own eyes?" Hui Feng said, "Yes. If the four of us don't escape fast enough, we will also die. " Yuan Yin said, “Bhikkhus cannot lie. Plus Wu Dang and Shaolin's reputations are at stake here. Are you really sure of what you see? " Hui Feng knelt down and said, "With the Buddha above listening, every word I now speak is the true truth." Yuan Yin said, "Good. Now remember the exact incident. " When Zhang CuiShan heard this, he quickly jumped down the wall.

Yuan Ye thought Zhang CuiShan wanted to kill Hui Feng, and immediately attacked him by sweeping his staff. Zhang CuiShan lowered his head and easily dodged the attack, with a subtle movement, spinning behind Hui Feng. Yuan Ye had originally planned to follow up with another attack, but saw that he could no longer hurt Zhang CuiShan without first hurting Hui Feng. Yuan Ye pulled back his staff and said, "What do you want?"

Zhang CuiShan said, "I just want to hear closer, hear exactly how I killed all those people."

Seeing Zhang CuiShan behind him, Hui Feng knew that if he made a hasty move, Zhang CuiShan could instantly kill him. Even his martial uncle would not be able to help him. But because of his anger towards, Hui Feng did not tremble, shouting, “A few days ago, martial uncle Yuan Xin received a letter from martial brother Du DaJin, north of the Yangtze river. He immediately sent Hui Tong and Hui Guang to help. Then he sent me a message to also come here, along with three brothers and sisters. On entering, Brother Hui Guang said that the enemy might be here tonight, and the four of us should be on guard outside. He also told us not to fall on any diversion. " Yuan Yin said, “Then what? Forward."

Hui Feng said, “As soon as it was dark, I heard Hui Tong fighting in the back hall, followed by a loud shout, as if he was seriously injured. By the time I got there, he was dead ... ******** This Zhang ... "

He turned around and pointed his finger at Zhang CuiShan, almost touching his nose, shouting, “I saw you push Brother Hui Guang against the wall with your palm, killing him. I know I'm no match for you, so I'm just watching through the window. Then eight people tried to escape, and you followed them out, killing them all with your hands, not even releasing the old and the young. After that, you leave. ” Zhang CuiShan does not move at all. Even when Hui Feng's saliva fell on his face, he did not dodge or retaliate. After which, he said coldly, "Then what?"

Hui Feng continued, “After that, I discussed with my three brothers about what I should do next. Everyone thought your kung fu was too strong for us, so we had to shut up for a moment. Who would have thought you would come back at that time. We know we can't beat you, but at the time, we didn't think too much about it. I'm asking your name, aren't you saying that you are Zhang CuiShan from Wu Dang? At first I did not trust you, thinking that the heroes of Wu Dang would not do such a thing. But when you show me your weapon, I have to trust you. "

Zhang CuiShan said, “I admit that I did give you my name, showed you my weapons, and dropped the four of you. But is it really certain that I was the one who killed everyone in the escort agency? "

At this moment, Yuan Yin flew over, grabbed Hui Feng's body and pushed him into the distance. He said, “He told you the whole thing. Thus, the famous Fifth Hero Zhang could not try to hide the truth. " He pushed Hui Feng aside so Zhang CuiShan couldn't try to kill this witness.

Hui Feng said to Zhang CuiShan, “Alright, I will say it again. I personally saw you kill Hui Guang and Hui Tong, personally saw you kill eight people in the escort agency. " Zhang CuiShan said, “Did you see my face clearly? Do I wear the same clothes? ” As he spoke, he pulled out a match, illuminating his face and body. Hui Feng looked at her with disdain, saying, “You are exactly wearing this robe. At that point, you have a fan in your left hand. Now you have it on your waist. "

Zhang CuiShan felt his stomach boil, not knowing why this monk had deliberately told such a lie, walked over and looked at his face, shouting, “If you have the guts, say those words again. Let's say I killed them all, not anyone else! ”

Hui Feng's eyes suddenly let out a strange expression. He pointed at Zhang CuiShan and said, "You .. you .. you are not .." and he immediately fell to the ground. Yuan Yin and Yuan Ye immediately went to check on her condition, only to see a shocked expression on Hui Feng's face, without a pulse on his body.

Yuan Yin shouted, "You ... Killed her?" Zhang CuiShan also did not expect to see an event like this. He quickly turned around, only to see a shadow running away among the trees. He shouted, "Stop!" and immediately flew towards the shadow. If he was unable to find the real killer at this moment, he would be misunderstood as the murderer.

Who would have thought that while in the air, two gusts of wind would come from behind, as two sticks chased after him from the left and right. At the same time, the two monks shouted, "Don't think you can escape, killer!" Zhang CuiShan's brush and hook were both swept downwards, writing the word 'Sabre' [only two strokes for this character] in a backhand manner. His hook bent and trapped the tip of Yuan Ye's wand, while his brush put away Yuan Yin's wand. Borrowing their strength, he quickly flew them to land on the roof behind them. Zhang CuiShan then tried to scan the area, but did not see anyone in sight.

Yuan Ye quickly jumped onto the roof for another attack. Zhang CuiShan shouted, “I have to find the killer. Don't block my way! ” Yuan Yin said angrily, "You ..you killed him in front of my face, but tried to deny it?" Zhang CuiShan threw Yuan Yin's staff aside, preventing him from coming.

Yuan Yin said, “Fifth Hero Zhang. We don't want to take your life. You just need to drop your weapons, come with us to Shaolin, and let the abbot judge you. " Zhang CuiShan said angrily, “I can't believe you're really a 'Yuan' generation Shaolin expert'. The real killers come and go without you noticing. " Yuan Yin said, “Look, I myself cannot decide your fate for killing a fellow brother. So please come with us to Shaolin. ” Zhang CuiShan said coldly, "Urgh! I can't believe the Yuan generation in Shaolin is filled with fools. You can't even see who the real killer is? " Yuan Yin said, “Sorry. You have too much blood on your hands. We can't let you escape. ”

After hearing Yuan Yin firmly designate him as an assassin, Zhang CuiShan became even more enraged. Not only did he have to argue with Yuan Yin, but he also had to fight Yuan Ye at the same time. Amidst the heat of the battle, Zhang CuiShan said with a grin, "You think you can really catch me?"

Just to see Yuan Ye push his staff to the ground, trying to borrow his strength to wake him up. Zhang CuiShan jumped up at the same time. His light kungfu was far superior to Yuan Ye, attacking downwards as he leaped. Yuan Ye tried to block his attack with a stick, but Zhang CuiShan's hook suddenly changed direction in the air, followed by a tearing sound, as his hook cut off Yuan Ye's shoulder. Yuan screamed, falling to the ground. He was only alive because Zhang CuiShan was showing mercy, and was not eyeing Yuan Ye's throat.

Yuan Yin quickly raised her sister and asked, "You're okay?" Yuan Ye said, “I'm fine! You still talk and don't attack? Stop with doubt! ” Yuan Yin sighed, then raised her staff to attack. Yuan Ye did not bother to wrap his wounds, instead immediately went back to war against Zhang CuiShan. The dancing staff brought the wind, the two gathered to attack as one. Zhang CuiShan knew the strength of the wrists of the two monks, in addition to the weight of their weapons. If they could jump against the wall, he would be very hard pressed to win. So Zhang CuiShan played defensively, keeping his higher vantage point. As a result, no monk could jump against the wall. The 'Hui' generation monks had much lower kung fu, so despite seeing their martial uncles being harmed, they had no way of helping.

Zhang CuiShan thought, "I really must immediately search for the real killer, there is no reason to get caught up in this misunderstanding." He pulled back his hook and brushed into a defensive position, resisting the attack. Just as he was about to jump away, Zhang CuiShan heard a shout from behind, his voice blaring, followed by a powerful force pushing towards him. Just to see a large-bodied monk jump onto the roof, his two hands now grabbed Zhang CuiShan's weapon. Although Zhang CuiShan could not see his face in the darkness, he realized that this monk was using the famous and powerful Shaolin Tiger Claw. Yuan Ye shouted, “Thank God you are here, brother Yuan Xin. Don't let this killer get away. ”

Zhang CuiShan rarely met a formidable foe in his life, plus his martial arts had recently improved greatly with this new kung fu. When he saw this new monk attacking, he felt a strong hatred, and began to have the desire to duel with them. He put away his hook and brush, shouting, "Huh, do you think the three of you can beat me?" Just as Yuan Xin's left hand was almost beside her, Zhang CuiShan retracted his right palm, swooped down and tore off Yuan Xin's robe. The moment Yuan Xin's claw touched his shoulder, Zhang CuiShan's left leg flew out, hitting Yuan Xin right in the kneecap.

Yuan Xin's knees were very sturdy, so she didn't fall down even after suffering such injuries. With a loud roar, his right claw struck Zhang CuiShan. At the same time, Yuan Yin and Yuan Ye's staff also attacked from behind. Yuan Yin's voice might be hoarse, it seemed to hurt, but her kung fu was the best of the three. A stick weighing at least thirty to forty pounds looked as light as a sword in his hand, extremely fast and flexible.

After meeting his match for the first time in life, Zhang CuiShan thought, “Wu Dang and Shaolin have been considered as the two most powerful sects in the world recently, he said, but we never really had a chance to compete with each other. Today is a great opportunity to test the powerful Shaolin martial art. " With that in mind, he shot out both of his palms, freely switching between two sticks and a pair of claws, slashing, catching, pointing and attacking. Even while fighting one-on-three, Zhang CuiShan gradually had the upper hand.

The Shaolin Sect and Wu Dang both have strengths and weaknesses. Zhang SanFeng was a rarely seen genius when it came to martial arts, but Wu Dang remained short of the thousands of years of experience Shaolin had. Zhang CuiShan was one of the best Wu Dang fighters, while the three monks were only second-tier fighters in Shaolin. So as the fight progressed, Zhang CuiShan became more and more energetic, his movements becoming even faster. Suddenly, his right hand wrote a long hook in the character of 'Dragon', grabbed Yuan Ye's wand, and pointed it at Yuan Yin's wand. With a loud clashing sound, so loud everyone's ears trembled. The two monks possessed extraordinary strength. Their strength, adding to Zhang CuiShan's strength, caused a clash that was so strong that blood came out from the two monks' mouths. The moment Yuan Xin came to help, Zhang CuiShan quickly stepped aside, stretched his legs in front of Yuan Xin, and then pushed him backwards. With his own natural thrust and forward movement, Yuan Xin immediately stumbled to the ground.

Zhang CuiShan said coldly, “Want to take me to Shaolin? You should practice a few more years first. ” Yuan Xin got up and shouted, “Killer! Don't try to escape! ” And with it the three monks began to chase Zhang CuiShan again. Zhang CuiShan thought, "They are really unlucky, but I can't really kill them." So he took a deep breath and started using his light kung fu to escape.

Yuan Xin and Yuan Ye both tried to chase after him, but could not catch up with him, due to their inferior light kung fu. They can only scream, “Catch the killer! Don't let him go! ” while chasing along the bank. Zhang CuiShan laughed inwardly, thinking how can you guys chase after me? Suddenly he heard Yuan Xin and Yuan Ye both yelling "Ahhh!" while Yuan Yin groaned lightly, but also appeared to be injured.

Zhang CuiShan turned his head, only to see the three monks with their hands covering their right eyes, as if exposed to a hidden weapon. Then Yuan Yin shouted, “Zhang CuiShan. If you have the guts, go back and blind my left eye too! "

Zhang CuiShan thought, “Are they blinded by someone? Who's helping me? ” He then realized something, shouted, “Seventh brother, seventh brother. You where? Among the seven heroes of Wu Dang, Muo ShengGu was the best in hidden weapons. That was why Zhang CuiShan thought his seventh brother must be here.

But after a few screams, there was no answer. Zhang CuiShan searched around a few trees by the river, but was unable to find even half a shadow.

Yuan Ye lost control after being blinded, and wanted to continue chasing after Zhang CuiShan. But Yuan Yin stopped him, knowing that doing so was useless. He said, “Brother Yuan Ye, we don't need to rush to get revenge. Even if we give up, do you think our old priest will let him go? Let's go seek the abbot's advice. He'll help us. ”

Zhang CuiShan felt a little more at ease, after seeing the Shaolin monk leave. But he was still wondering, "Who's the one who helped me?" He did not want to stay by the lake any longer, and decided to rush back to the inn. After running rapidly for about thirty meters, he saw a bush rustling by the lake.

Since there was no wind right now, so someone must be hiding behind it. Zhang CuiShan walked over, about to ask who was there, when suddenly someone shot out of the bushes, attacked him with a sword, shouting, "Today, you die or I die!"

Zhang CuiShan kicked his leg out, and quickly dropped the sword from the person's hand, into the lake. Taking a closer look, he saw that this person was another monk, except for his mediocre kung fu. Zhang CuiShan shouted, "What are you doing here?" As he spoke, he saw three others lying behind a bush. Zhang CuiShan ignored the monk, and went to check on the three people. He discovered that these three people were the three leaders of the Dragon Gate Guard Body, Du, Shi, and Zhu.

Shocked, Zhang CuiShan shouted, "Leader Du, what ... what happened ..." Before he could finish, Du DaJin got up, grabbed Zhang CuiShan's collar with both hands, gritted his teeth, saying, "Killer. I just left three hundred taels of silver to myself, and yet you still won't let me go? ” Zhang CuiShan said, "What are you talking about?" Would brush Du DaJin's hand, only to see her lips spewing blood. Zhang CuiShan asked, "Are you suffering from internal injuries?"

Du DaJin shouted at the monk, “Smartial brothers. Remember. The killer was Zhang CuiShan of Wu Dang. Leave before he kills you too! " As he said this, he quickly shot forward, trying to subdue Zhang CuiShan.

Zhang CuiShan hurriedly turned around, stepping aside by pushing Du DaJin's arm, only to hear a loud bang, as Du DaJin fell to the ground, tearing Zhang CuiShan's clothes along the way. Despite his bravery, Zhang CuiShan still felt very uncomfortable with the event tonight. Just to see Du DaJin's heartbeat stop. Clearly, he was already severely injured, or the encouragement Zhang CuiShan gave him would not kill him.

The monk shouted in surprise, "You .. You just killed my fellow student ..." He quickly turned around, and began to flee as fast as he could.

Zhang CuiShan shook his head, seeing Zhu's subordinates and Shi's feet were in the water, already dead for quite some time. Looking at the three corpses, Zhang CuiShan felt a lot of sadness. Although he hated them for making such a big mistake about Yu DaiYan, he barely wanted to see them die like this. Suddenly, he thought, “Du DaJin thought I killed them because he left three hundred taels of gold to himself. I never knew anything about it. Besides, even if I did, I wouldn't mind it. "

He reached into Du DaJin's sack, and indeed found a few chunks of gold. Right now, Zhang CuiShan felt that life was really fleeting. This escort leader spent his entire life wandering around, living under constant death threats, only for a few golds. Yet now, with gold by his side, Du DaJin could no longer enjoy it. He then thought about his great victory over the Shaolin monks, but how long could he enjoy this? After all, a hundred years later, he would be no different from Du DaJin. Zhang CuiShan then sighed deeply.

Suddenly, a zither sound was heard from within the lake. Zhang CuiShan looked up, only to see a young scholar on board, the same one he had seen in front of the escort agency earlier. He looked at the three bodies beside him, and at the approaching boat, thinking that if that person saw him like this, and warned the soldiers, there would be many unnecessary problems. As he was about to leave, the man suddenly said, "If this friend likes to observe the night view on the lake, why not do it on my boat?" As he said this, Zhang CuiShan saw the boat paddling to the shore.

Zhang CuiShan thought, “If this fellow had been here all this time, he might have seen something I missed. Maybe I got some information from him. ” So he walked to the beach, waited for the ship to come, and then stepped onto the ship's head.

The student on the boat stood up, smiled, and gestured with his hand for Zhang CuiShan to sit down. Under the light of the lantern, Zhang CuiShan saw that this scholar's hand was whiter than snow, his face smooth and slender, his brows curly and nose straight, and his, more handsome than any beautiful scholar he had ever seen. Zhang CuiShan soon realized that this scholar was actually a beautiful young lady in disguise.

Wu Dang was very strict in terms of women. So when Zhang CuiShan saw a woman alone on board, his face started to turn red. As he immediately got off the ship, Zhang CuiShan said, “I had no idea that you were a woman disguised as a man. Sorry to bother you."

The young woman did not respond. The boat then paddled away, while the young woman continued to play her zither, singing, “Tonight wishing no more excitement, but there will be more coming nights, he said, under the Six Unified Pagodas [4], weeping willow trees and rowboats. How the gentlemen, come to have fun on the water. " When the boat disappears in the darkness, so does the singing and the zither sound.

Hearing such a beautiful melody, after all the killing earlier, Zhang CuiShan could only stand still there. Only after more than an hour of silence did he return to the inn.

The next day, everyone found out about the mass murder in the Dragon Gate Guard Body. But with Zhang CuiShan's scientific appearance, no one thought he could be the culprit.

Around noon, he began to look for his brothers in the market and in tourist attractions. But there's no sign of them anywhere. At dusk, he suddenly remembered the young lady's song: “Tonight did not expect any more excitement, but there will be many more nights to come, under the Six Unified Pagodas, with weeping willow trees and rowboats. How the gentlemen, come to look around. " Zhang CuiShan thought, “As long as I act as a gentleman, it's fine to see him. Sighs, if the second and seventh brothers are here, we can go together. Other than him, I really don't have any other leads. "

After lunch, Zhang CuiShan started walking towards the Six Unified Pagoda on the banks of the QianTang River.
