Chapter 5 First try
Time flies, and the years pass by. In the blink of an eye, Hu Qingpeng has been in the first place. He has grown a lot taller than when he first went up the mountain. Under Zhao Qinghe's almost cruel torture, his basic skills have been trained extremely solidly, his muscles have increased significantly, and his actions have been quick and powerful. Of course, there are also the contributions of Zou Jing's careful guidance. He is now practicing his left and right hands as well, and his use of strength is becoming more and more proficient. The only regret is that he has gradually become distant from Chen Qinghua, because Chen Qinghua doesn't like the lingering smell of oil smoke on his body, and another newly acquired disciple calls her "Senior Sister".
In July of that year, Chen Tianlei received a letter from the head of the Hengshan Sect, inviting him to attend the regular meeting of the Seven Sword Sects every five years. The Seven Sword Sects are Songshan Sect, Hengshan Sect, Huashan Sect, Taishan Sect, Hengshan Sect, Kunlun Sect and Emei Sect. These seven sects are all known for swordsmanship and each has their own advantages. They jointly established the Sword Alliance thirty years ago. The leader of each sect took turns and rotated every five years. It is one of the most powerful forces in the martial arts world. This regular meeting of the alliance is not just a simple election of the new leader, but gradually evolved into a arena for the masters of the Seven Sword Sects to compete with each other. The battle between high and low sword skills has become the most important part of it. All major sword sects attach importance to this opportunity to show the strength of the sects, because it determines the ranking of the status of the leaders of the various sects. After all, no one wants to be inferior to everyone.
Chen Tianlei was prepared for this, so he personally led Yin Tianyun and three junior brothers to Hengshan, leaving only Liu Tianyue to guard the house. The Hengshan School performed poorly at the last regular meeting of the alliance. After Chen Tianlei came back, he learned from his mistakes and worked hard to strive to regain his reputation this time.
That morning, Chen Tianlei and others were sent away, and Hu Qingpeng and Zou Jing went down the mountain to buy essentials such as oil, rice, salt, and tea. Among the eight generations of Hengshan disciples, he could occasionally accompany Zou Jing and others down the mountain to purchase because of his miscellaneous matters in the kitchen. Others are not allowed to go down the mountain. Only after they are proficient in Hengshan sword techniques and have a little success in martial arts will they be allowed to walk and practice.
Hu Qingpeng brought the wooden sword he usually used, and used the gap when he went down the mountain to practice the points in the sword technique and stab the key points. He quickly went down to the foot of the mountain. Seeing that there were more and more travelers, he carried the wooden sword to avoid accidentally hurting others.
Zou Jing knew Laoma, so he went directly to an old signature rice shop in Nanyue Ancient Town, and listed a list of the items needed, entrusting them to collect and purchase them. Then, according to the past practice, he went to a tavern to drink three drinks. Because Peng Yan'er was very careful on the mountain, he had no chance to drink, and he could only secretly experience alcohol when going down the mountain. Hu Qingpeng lacked interest in drinking, so he slipped around the streets, watching others play tricks, telling, singing operas, and performing skills. In short, he would go wherever there were many people.
Hu Qingpeng was tired from leaving, so he bought a bowl of tea and stood at the entrance of the teahouse to listen to people's stories. Today, the storyteller tells the classic story of the current emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the Han King Chen Youliang fighting against Poyang Lake. Because it was wonderful, listeners gathered. The storyteller slapped the auspicious tree, and the teahouse was silent. He could only hear him chanting: "'The heroes of ignorance rise, and the praises of the calendar return. The wind and dust are three feet away, and the country is a military uniform." It is said that the bloody battle in Poyang Lake is extremely tragic. It should be true.
The arrows were like raindrops, the sound of cannons was like thunder, the light of swords and fires were flying, and the rivers were whistling like waves. Within a hundred miles, they even killed the lake water red. Last time, when they talked about Zhi Guoxing's suggestion overnight, bravely burned the enemy ships in spring, killed thousands of enemies, and cut Chen Youliang's younger brother Chen Youren into two pieces! How could Chen Youliang give up after suffering such a great loss? He immediately mobilized elite soldiers and generals to counterattack..." It was said that the mouth was flying, ups and downs, and everyone's heart was hanging in the air, and they didn't dare to let out a mouthful.
Hu Qingpeng was hearing the wonderful part, and his shoulder was suddenly hit, and half a bowl of tea was poured onto the wall. He looked sideways, and a gangster with crooked clothes and slanted hat passed by and hurried to the front row. Hu Qingpeng was secretly angry, and saw the gangster approaching a big man, whispering close to his ear, and listened intently, and vaguely heard words such as "scholar", "beautiful lady", "traditional" and so on. Hu Qingpeng's heart moved. Could it be that they were going to do something shameful? He is not unfamiliar with such villains who make a living by cheating and cheating. He has seen a lot in his hometown Jianyang Town, and is aware of these people's bad things that are not moral and unkind.
The man nodded while listening, with a dirty and lewd smile on his face, and walked out with the gangster in a snail. They left the teahouse, walked straight along the street, and came outside Huiyan Inn, gathered the two companions who had been waiting outside the door, and entered the inn together.
Hu Qingpeng followed him all the way and saw this and guarded outside the inn gate.
After a while, the four gangsters carried their luggage and surrounded a young couple out of the door. But they saw the gentle and elegant man, dressed as a scholar, showing the atmosphere of a bookish body; the woman was beautiful and gentle, with a slim and charming figure, and her skin was shaping. The couple dressed simply and elegantly, and they looked like they had been staying at home for a long time and had just traveled far away. They had only a slight understanding of the world. Hu Qingpeng respected scholars the most, and saw that these gangsters had some intentions for them, so they could not ignore them.
The scholar bowed to the four of them and said, "After thinking about it, I don't have to bother you! There must be a porter in this town. The young master wants to hire them to carry luggage and go up the mountain. I don't know where to hire people?"
The four of them winked each other and the leading man said, "Originally, a mere mountain road is nothing, we can deliver our luggage to the front door of the academy for you. But since Mr. Fang has made up his mind, can we accompany you to find a porter?"
The scholar said happily: "This is the best! We are not familiar with the place. If we had not met all the enthusiastic people, we really don't know what to do."
The leader of the man laughed and said, "Where are there!" He led the way in front of him and led the scholars and his wife into alleys. After walking for a while, the scholars and his wife saw that they were picking fewer people and were becoming more and more remote, and they couldn't help but wonder. Although they were not familiar with the worldly affairs, they were not stupid and confused. They couldn't help asking, "Where are we going? How far should we go?" As he said that, he stopped and looked around.
The leader knew that the other party was suspicious, so he tore off the hypocritical mask and smiled maliciously: "We won't go anywhere, no one is around, so let's do things here!" The other three people threw away their heavy luggage and cursed: "This nerd has packed a few boxes of books, which is so fucking heavy that he almost crushed me!"
Seeing that they suddenly showed their fierce appearance, the scholar realized that they had met a bad person. The scholar protected his wife behind him, and looked at the four evil men coldly, saying, "We and my husband have never known each other, and there is no grudge. Why do you deceive us and imprison us here?"
The four people laughed, "You nerd are so dying! Don't you know how beautiful your wife is? We have never played with such a fairy-like beauty. Today I want to lend your wife to have fun!" As he said that, he reached out to push the scholar.
Hu Qingpeng, who was invisible, became more and more angry as he heard it, and jumped out and shouted: "Stop!"
The gangsters were shocked, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw clearly that a boy appeared. The scholar and his wife felt cold in their hearts, extremely disappointed, and their palms were covered in cold sweat. One of the gangsters rolled up their sleeves and said bluffingly: "Boy, if you know what you know, get out of here if you don't ask, how famous we 'Four Masters of Nanyue' are here! If you dare to destroy our good deeds, I will tear down your house and burn it clean!"
Hu Qingpeng said contemptuously: "Are you scoundrels like you deserve to be called the 'Four Heroes of Nanyue'? I think they are called 'Four Snakes', 'Four Insects' and 'Four Insects' and so on!" I remembered that a year ago, in Jianyang Town, he also wanted to insult his sister, and he rose up to resist, attracting the attention of He Tieyi of the Qinglong Association, and eventually changed his life path. He was deeply guilty for not being able to protect his relatives. Now that he has learned martial arts, he just happened to find these villains to try his skills.
The four people were furious when they heard this. They were used to being domineering. How could they tolerate being humiliated like this? The man in the lead said viciously: "Boy, are you tired of fucking life? The fourth brother, teach him a lesson and catch him and beat him to death. If someone dies, I will take it!" The fourth brother Lin Aqiang said grimly, "Don't worry, boss, I will serve him well!" He rushed to Hu Qingpeng with a big strode, swung his fist, and hit him hard at the bridge of his nose.
The scholar cried out in disbelief: "Be careful!"
Hu Qingpeng was also a good fighter in his hometown. Now, after a year of orthodox martial arts training, when he was fighting against such street gangsters, he could easily see his opponent's flaws. Lin Aqiang was tall and his arms were long, and he had the idea of contempt in his heart. Although the punch was strong, it obviously lacked changes. Moreover, the lower plate was unstable, and his body rushed too fast and lost its center of gravity. Hu Qingpeng stared at the other party's eyes and suddenly took a step back.
Lin Aqiang clearly saw the other party right in front of him, but with a punch, it was still half a foot away from the bridge of his nose. His arm was almost dislocated due to excessive force. He was about to retract his fist, but Hu Qingpeng stretched out his right hand like lightning, grabbed the door of his wrist, pulled it forward, and kicked his foot at the same time. Lin Aqiang rushed forward involuntarily, and his calf hurt a sharp pain, and fell to the ground, gnawing the mud all over his mouth like a dead dog, and bleeding from the corners of his mouth.
Hu Qingpeng knew the desperate style of these gangsters fighting. Before Lin Aqiang got up, he swung his hand knife and slashed hard on the back of his neck, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
The remaining three gangsters were shocked to see this, and they pulled out the hidden dagger at the same time and slowly pushed them from three directions. The leading man smiled grimly and said, "Good boy, I can't tell that you are very tough! Right and wrong are just because of forcing your strength. We are going to make up your life today! If you don't let your blood be, you don't know how cruel the methods of our Four Masters of Nanyue are!"
Hu Qingpeng held the wooden sword on his back with his back, raised his left palm and moved his center of gravity backwards, and nipped his toes in front of him, glaring at the other three without fear, "You guys who are inferior to beasts can only bully kind people and are lawless. I want to teach you a good lesson today!"
The three of them saw that he was posing in a good manner and had a wooden sword in their hands, and couldn't help but hesitate. One of them said, "Boss, this kid is not a disciple of Hengshan Sword Sect, right? If so, we will be miserable!" The boss muttered in a low voice: "Impossible! I heard that the disciples of Hengshan Sword Sect only allowed to go down the mountain after they were completed. This kid was at most twelve or thirteen years old, and he used a wooden sword. How could he look like a swordsman walking in the world?!"
Hu Qingpeng sneered: "Why, are you scared?"
The three of them couldn't bear it in their face. They gritted their teeth, roared low, and swung their daggers at the same time. But when they saw the green light leaping, the bright tip of the knife pointed at Hu Qingpeng's vital parts. The scholar and his wife were so scared that their faces turned pale when they saw them hurt people with a knife.
Hu Qingpeng was almost dead several times, and he had never seen any cruel and bloody scenes. Although the other three came in a fierce manner, they were far different from the Rage Wind Armored Soldiers in his memory. Although he was a small number of enemies, he was not panicked at all. None of these three opponents had learned any skills. They relied on a body of brute force, and the speed of pounced on them was fast and slow, and there was no system. He immediately bounced his body and rushed out like a cheetah, stabbing the headed man with a sword.
The big man didn't expect that he would take the initiative to attack under such a disadvantage. When he was slightly surprised, the wooden sword had already stabbed towards the door with a strong whistling sound. In the critical moment, the toilet body flashed rapidly, and the dagger in his hand blocked the sword body at the same time. Hu Qingpeng withdrew his long sword and passed by the other party. At this moment, he turned the hilt of the sword and hit his ribs hard. The big man screamed "Ouch", rolling to the ground in pain, and sweating in cold sweat.
Because Hu Qingpeng rushed forward too fast, the other two stabbed the sky with their daggers. As soon as they turned around, they saw the boss falling to the ground. They couldn't help but be timid and showed fear on their faces. Although the opponent was young, they acted quickly and acted ruthlessly. They knocked down their two brothers during the meeting. They were hesitating whether to escape, but Hu Qingpeng turned around and rushed over to swing his sword, subconsciously stabbed him with a knife.
Hu Qingpeng was amused. The other party's dagger was obviously much shorter than his wooden sword. Do they think they could stab the target? He pointed a long sword in his hand and stabbed the wrist of the man on his left. The man threw away the dagger in his hand and shouted with a cry. Hu Qingpeng's sword turned with him and was about to stab at another person. Suddenly, his right leg cooled down and passed into his mind. He looked down in surprise. He saw a dagger in his thigh, and blood was like a fountain.
The leading man stood up slowly while holding the wall and sneered: "Boy, is it not good to get a knife? Humph, you are too tender to make trouble on Tai Sui's head!" He took advantage of Hu Qingpeng's unpreparedness and threw out the dagger in his hand and stabbed the enemy.
Hu Qingpeng was stabbed by the other party's flying knife and complained in his heart. Now that he lost the advantage of speed, wouldn't he be slaughtered? Looking back, he shouted to the scholar and his wife: "You run away quickly, I'll stop them!" The scholar also saw that the situation was taking a sharp turn, but refused to escape alone, and said with a sigh: "Is it a gentleman who abandoned his friend to escape? We will never leave!"
Hu Qingpeng was so angry that his nostrils were smoking. If they escaped immediately, he would have no worries and would find a gap to break through the siege. But if they didn't leave, could he bear to leave them alone? Before he could explain the power of the matter clearly, he heard a wind coming from behind his head. One person stabbed him with a knife and quickly turned around and blocked him with a sword. At this time, another person rushed up and kicked his temples with a flying leg.
Hu Qingpeng jumped back with pain, and after landing, his right leg weakened and he staggered down. The two gangsters were overjoyed, one slashed at the head and the other kicked him to the side of his waist. Hu Qingpeng had no choice but to raise the wooden sword in one frame, and with a crack, the wooden sword was cut half of it, and then he was kicked heavily in the ribs by the other party, and rolled out two feet away with a muffled groan.
The gangster with a knife in his hand chased after him, just as he was about to kill Hu Qingpeng, suddenly he heard the sound of fists hitting him behind him and the sound of his companion vomiting blood and falling to the ground. His heart hopped. He turned around and saw a strong man with bronze skin strode towards him. His companion had collapsed to the ground like mud, obviously he had all been cleaned up. The gangster raised his courage and suddenly slashed at his throat. Unexpectedly, the other party's shoulder moved, and his big fist came first, hitting the bridge of his nose. His eyes turned black, flew backwards and hitting the wall, and fell into a deep coma on the spot.
Hu Qingpeng said happily: "Entertainment Father, why are you here?!"
Zou Jing knocked him a chestnut and said angrily: "You have not seen for a long time, so I can only come out to find you. If I come one step later, can you still save your life?" He said, and leaned over to observe the injuries on his leg, "Fortunately it was just an external injury, and the blade was shallow, otherwise you would have to be recuperated for at least half a month. Hey, don't you, a little bastard, know how to protect yourself? This time, someone stabbed her thigh, Yan'er will definitely feel so distressed, and I will be scolded by her again!" While saying that, pulling out the dagger, applying medicine powder, bandaging the wound, and then removing the bleeding.
At this time, the scholar and his wife came to thank him. It turned out that the husband and wife were from Xiangtan. Her husband Fang Yuxuan became famous at a young age. He was familiar with history books and proficient in hundreds of classics. He was a famous talent in Jiangnan. He was invited by the Yehou Academy of Hengshan and brought his wife Lan to the academy to give lectures. He knew that because he trusted others, he almost made a lifelong mistake. Scholars valued the reputation of the most. Hu Qingpeng took action with righteousness to prevent Lan from being humiliated by evil people. They were naturally grateful.
When Hu Qingpeng and Zou Jing heard that he was the new teacher from Yehou Academy, they immediately felt awe. The academy was built to commemorate the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Li Mi. It is one of the most famous academies in Hunan. In terms of scale, it is second only to the Yuelu Academy in Changsha. People who teach and teach here are all famous scholars. Fang Yuxuan has such qualifications at a young age, which is admirable.
