Huo Zhao!
Huo Linfeng was startled suddenly, the person who could resist Duan Chenbi's palm was actually his father!
Not only was he surprised, but the word "Huo Zhao" came out of the mouth of a master of the rivers and lakes, a bit strange, but also a bit proud. He thought about it again, Duan Chenbi had an encounter with his father
If that's the case, the gaze at this moment, coupled with a series of questions at the reception... Could it be that Duan Chenbi has already become suspicious of him
His heart was beating like a drum, but luckily the surface was calm, and he held his own without showing any panic. On the other hand, Rong Luoyun was very surprised, and asked back: "Master, do you know Dingbeihou?"
Duan Chenbi held his hands behind his back, and it was difficult to answer.
It was an old story. Thirty years ago, there was a riot in Lingnan. Finally helpless, the imperial court sent Huo Zhao south to finally quell the riot. Duan Chenbi happened to be in Lingnan at that time, and he met Huo Zhaoqi as opponents, so he felt a sense of sympathy for each other.
The friendship between gentlemen is from pure to light.
After decades of separation, Huo Zhao became a marquis and paid homage to the prime minister, guarding the frontier and never going south again. Duan Chenbi travels in the mountains and rivers, often avoiding the world and practicing kung fu. The two met in the chaos of war, and then forgot each other in the rivers and lakes.
After recalling, Duan Chenbi said to himself: "I heard that the son of Marquis Dingbei is coming to Xiganling?"
Rong Luoyun said with a "hmm": "It should be here long ago, but Huo Linfeng's illness is difficult to recover, and he has not yet taken up the post."
Duan Chenbi was taken aback when he heard the words, then laughed, flung his sleeves and went to rest.
The laughter made Huo Linfeng's heart tremble, and he dragged Rong Luoyun westward as if he couldn't wait. There are bushes all around the feet, which are full of flowers at this time of year, but they will kill them with a single palm.
Rong Luoyun found a stone and sat down, it was big and big, with a bunch of foxtail wrapped around his hand. Huo Linfeng squatted in front of him with a coaxing posture. "What are you doing?" He sat down on his knees and scratched the tip of the other's nose with the foxtail.
Huo Linfeng said: "Palace Master, Duan Daxia seems to appreciate Dingbeihou very much."
Rong Luoyun nodded: "Heroes cherish each other."
Huo Linfeng added: "Father and son are in the same line, so it would be nice to come to Huo Linfeng." He had to let Rong Luoyun have a good impression of "Huo Linfeng", boasting in his mouth and nervous in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Rong Luoyun thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's good."
Huo Linfeng's heart tightened: "Why did the palace master say that?"
Rong Luoyun said: "As soon as I entered the south of the Yangtze River, I fell ill and felt sick."
Kong Wu's powerful General Huo choked to death, almost dumb eating coptis. He supported Rong Luoyun's knee, and said again: "Sooner or later he will come to take office, if he takes the initiative to show his favor to the Palace Master, what will the Palace Master do?"
Rong Luoyun thought to himself, what are the soldiers doing to show their favor to the bandits? The eyeballs rolled around, could it be that this person is testing him? He replied earnestly: "I don't care what he does."
Huo Linfeng said anxiously: "Hero Duan and Marquis Dingbei cherish each other, so you can cherish Huo Linfeng too!"
Why are you so anxious... Rong Luoyun shook his pride: "With you here, why do I cherish Huo? Besides you, there are elder brother, third child, and fourth child. He, General Huo, is in front of my extraordinary palace. Nothing."
Huo Linfeng was so depressed that he buried his head in Rong Luoyun's thigh.
Rong Luoyun caressed the back of the opponent's head, thinking that Huo Linfeng had moved him a lot.
They spent most of the day in the dense forest and returned home at dusk.
Back in the Uncommon Palace, Rong Luoyun accompanied Duan Chenbi into the hall to rest, once entering the inner hall, he saw Duan Huaike waiting inside. The three masters and apprentices were all there, and Rong Luoyun was the youngest, pouring tea for them consciously.
Duan Chenbi said: "I'm not tired yet, just play chess with me."
Duan Huaike set up the chessboard, and the father and son lit the lamp to play. Rong Luoyun watched the chess quietly from the sidelines, and soon his eyelids began to fight, and then he just lay down on the table. He asked softly, "Brother, can you win?"
Duan Huaike replied: "Winning is because of my outstanding chess skills, and losing is because I respect my teacher."
Duan Chenbi snorted coldly: "Who cares about your chess skills, I only look at the quality of martial arts." Another move, and then squinted at the sleepy boy, "Miao Cangtai tomorrow morning, I will check your martial arts."
Duan Huaike said: "I hope father will show mercy."
Duan Chenbi smiled: "Isn't that bullying you?"
"Choose one of the disciples in the palace to fight. If you win, you will be safe. If you tie, you will be fined to kneel for three days. If you lose, you will be closed for a year." After saying this, the sleepy boy really opened his eyes in a daze.
Rong Luoyun muttered: "What's the comparison... Big Brother will definitely win."
Duan Huaike laughed: "You don't need to support me, just go back to sleep when you're sleepy, and come to watch the battle tomorrow morning."
Really sleepy, Rong Luoyun yawned and got up to leave, stepped out of the palace door, and paid attention when going down the steps this time. He walked back with the stars and the moon, the Zushen Yazhu was empty, the Zangjin Pavilion was lit, and there was Qianji Hall in front of him.
When he looked up, there was a figure outside the door of Qianji Hall.
Tall, tall and straight, even shadowy and handsome.
There was no wind, no rain, but Rong Luoyun's drowsiness was swept away. He stepped forward at a faster pace, stopped when he was a few steps away, and had a good look at the man in front of the door.
"Why are you standing here?" he asked. Ask knowingly.
Huo Linfeng replied: "Waiting for you."
Rong Luoyun pouted: "What are you holding in your hand?"
Huo Linfeng said: "It's for you." He strode closer and put his arms around the thin shoulders, "It's late at night and the road is dark, I'm afraid some thieves will rob you. I'll send the Palace Mistress back to the Nameless Residence."
With a pain in his abdomen, Rong Luoyun punched him with his elbow, but did not escape his confinement. Go to the unknown residence, climb under the eaves, enter the inner hall, and follow into the bedroom.
The candlelight was dim, but he lit up the things instead.
A book wrapped in brocade, with white paper and black ink inside, is filled with rows of lower letters. Rong Luoyun took it, opened it from the beginning to the end, and finally saw the first three words - Suo Qi Jue.
He asked: "Is this a martial art formula?"
Huo Linfeng nodded: "Your lightness kung fu is already the best in the world, so naturally you don't need to learn anything else. As for swordsmanship, you only need to improve your cloud-splitting swordsmanship to the limit. After much deliberation, I decided to teach you this."
Holding the booklet, Rong Luoyun couldn't help thinking about the word "lock interest".
Lightness kung fu can keep the movement silent, but there is no place to hide the breath, but when encountering a master, Ye Luo can detect the direction in an instant. He recalled that time in Hanzhou, when he fought against Chen Mian and Chen Xiao, he suffered a disadvantage because of it.
Huo Linfeng said: "After learning the breath-holding formula, once the sound of exercise is temporarily extinguished, it will be as quiet as a dead body."
Rong Luoyun said in surprise: "Really?"
Of course it was true, Huo Linfeng hid his thoughts and said hintingly: "If someone breaks into the Uncommon Palace and uses the heart formula, even if they enter the house and steal it, they won't be able to detect it."
At that time, when he visited Bufan Palace at night, he could come and go freely by relying on the breath lock formula.
After all, he stared closely at Rong Luoyun, wondering if Rong Luoyun would be suspicious. How did he know that the man bowed his head to recite the scriptures, ignored him and couldn't wait to study it.
"..." His head hurt so much, "Palace Master, don't be in a hurry."
Rong Luoyun didn't raise his eyes: "I'm in a hurry, I want to practice right now."
Huo Linfeng's head hurt even more, he took the folder and threw it aside, and clasped the opponent's shoulder with his big hand. The more he procrastinated, the more flustered he became, he couldn't care less about other things: "Palace Master, please remember to pray at the Xiaodan Temple?"
After Rong Luoyun nodded, he earnestly asked: "Can you promise me that no matter what happens, you won't be angry with me?"
Rong Luoyun asked back, "What's the matter?"
Huo Linfeng replied: "It's a mistake... If I do something wrong, don't be angry, okay?"
"This is so unreasonable." Rong Luoyun raised his face and said, "Since you have done something wrong, you still don't allow people to be angry? Wouldn't that mean you are going to be unscrupulous?"
Huo Linfeng quickly changed his words: "If you are angry, vent your anger on me, and then calm down quickly, okay?" He had never been so nervous, and wanted to stare at the other party out of the hole.
After a while, Rong Luoyun nodded slightly and agreed.
As if he had been pardoned, he hugged him tightly in his arms, rubbing his back excitedly and carelessly with his palms. At this time, Rong Luoyun said: "Du Zhong, you can make me angry, but don't make me sad."
The tone was very low and heavy, with a hint of sincerity behind the earnestness. Huo Linfeng's whole body shivered, as if cold water had washed his head away, washing away the luck just now.
Rong Luoyun whispered: "The days before were ordinary, not very happy, but not sad." He smiled lightly, "After meeting you, I lived very happily and tasted many things that I didn't have before. "
It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. "Don't take away the happiness you gave, okay?" He almost promised, but also seemed to be begging, "Du Zhong, I will treat you well and put you on top of my heart. Don't make me sad."
Huo Linfeng let out a stiff "hmm" with a stick in his throat.
Rong Luoyun hugged him tightly: "Don't lie to me, you fell asleep that night in the Zen courtyard, now I will ask again, can you promise not to lie to me?"
Huo Linfeng swallowed thousands of words, and replied hoarsely: "Okay, I promise you."
The moonlight was bright, but his mind was full of darkness. He didn't know how to get back to Qianji Hall. Walk around into the bamboo garden, climb up the bamboo ladder, and walk into the bedroom cabinet in one breath.
He took out official seals and official documents, and placed them on the table brightly.
"Idiot." Huo Linfeng called out.
Du Zheng leaned over from the couch: "Master, why are you sitting there?"
Huo Linfeng ordered: "Pack your luggage, tomorrow... let's go."
Tomorrow morning, he must confess to Rong Luoyun, and he will admit to murder or mutilation, just beg that person not to be sad. Huo Linfeng, Huo Linfeng, I knew that I was in love now, so why did I commit crimes in the first place.
Just at this time, a round in Shen Bi Palace ended, Duan Huaike lost the third son. It was late at night, he got up to make the bed, served Duan Chenbi to go to bed, tucked the quilt and lowered the curtains, and left after everything was settled.
He said as he walked, "The disciples we sent will come back tomorrow morning, the time is just right."
There was no one in the Bufan Palace. In the second half of the night, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and it began to drizzle.
In the bedroom of the bamboo building, the packed luggage was placed on the bed, and Du Zheng slept soundly with a small bundle on his pillow. Huo Linfeng sat at the table, clutching the ginkgo gray handkerchief that Rong Luoyun gave him.
When the morning was approaching, he went downstairs to water the magnolia. After going out of the building, the drizzle is blowing on the face, so why use watering
It dawned on him that even God would not make it happen.
Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and three or five disciples ran over: "Senior Brother Du Zhong! The Palace Master told everyone to go to Miao Cang Terrace!"
Huo Linfeng didn't know what was going on, so he had to leave Qianji Hall with all his disciples. The long street was wet, and when I walked to Miao Cang Terrace, I saw the four palace masters in the mist and rain. Rong Luoyun raised his eyes to look at him, and smiled with his lips pursed.
He tried to respond, but was overwhelmed by the secrecy.
When everyone was gathered, Rong Luoyun said: "Don't panic, everyone, the gathering in the morning is only for the excitement." He said with gestures and separated the disciples on both sides, "The Lord of the Palace promised to Master last night that today he will choose a disciple to challenge and win. If it is a tie, you will be fined to kneel for three days, and if you lose, you will be closed for a year. Please be a witness."
The disciples talked a lot, are you kidding, who can beat the Grand Palace Master? In a mess, Duan Huaike walked to the central open space: "It doesn't matter if you lose. Those who have the courage to challenge will receive a reward of three hundred taels."
As soon as these words came out, Ruan Ni flew up to appear.
Going out with the little God of Wealth, I learned to be a fan of wealth.
Silver Hook Duan Ming vs bare-handed, the Miao Cang Stage was full of quarrels, but Huo Linfeng was as quiet as a Buddha. He has no intention to watch the battle, nor does he have the intention to challenge, he is still thinking about how to confess.
Rong Luoyun was standing not far away, why don't you take advantage of the chaos and talk about it
Or wait until Rong Luoyun is happy to see it
What is the first sentence? Palace Master, my name is actually Huo Linfeng
How can Rong Luoyun coax her when she is sad? Take off your clothes and plead guilty
Although Huo Linfeng's people were here, they were already out of their wits. He imagined countless situations, but he couldn't think of a countermeasure. Steeply! A gust of wind hit his face, he came back to his senses and used Pan Tian Zong to dodge the attacking palm.
"What are you doing?!" General Huo was annoyed!
Duan Huaike said: "Du Zhong, you are the only big disciple who has not challenged, don't you dare?"
The young master was so annoyed to death: "There is no shortage of three hundred taels!"
With a blink of an eye, Rong Luoyun looked over curiously, one was the elder brother and the other was the lover, which one would he support? Huo Linfeng's thoughts were entangled, so let's just let it go and have a good time!
He drew his sword out, and the Huo family's swordsmanship was unforgettable, and he vaguely heard Rong Luoyun calling him. The dragon is invisible, breaking through the wind and rushing to the sky, playing Duan Huaike dizzyingly.
Everyone panicked and was forced back again and again by a powerful internal force. Duan Huaike turned his palm over to gather a thousand catties of strength. Huo Linfeng raised his eyebrows and sneered. He only used less than eight percent of his true energy to break through the barrier that day.
"Show your trick!" Duan Huaike shouted.
Huo Linfeng fell to the ground, and the Cassia Sword swept across thousands of troops, striking out ten percent of his internal strength. In an instant, the cold light turned into fire light, the dazzling Venus shone all over the sky, and all the bricks and stones in the four directions burst into pieces.
In the distance, a gully was left on the lacquered pillars of Shenbi Hall.
The rain and fog were wrapped in gunpowder smoke, the loud noises included screams, and the Miao Cang Terrace seemed to be broken and ruined.
The outcome was already decided, Huo Linfeng looked at Duan Huaike, and said, "You lose, go to retreat." Just after the end, the chaotic sound of horseshoes came from the long street, causing everyone to look back.
More than a dozen disciples galloped to the audience, forming a column and rushing to the front of the hall.
Duan Huaike wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked, "How?"
The disciple clasped his fists: "Report to the Palace Master that Xiganling and all the neighboring cities have been investigated. All the escort agencies and ferries have traveled as far as the north of the Changhe River. No one has heard of Zhuosha Island."
Huo Linfeng was taken aback for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat.
Duan Huaike asked again: "No more?"
The disciple paused: "A bodyguard once went to Saibei and said that the most famous restaurant in Saibei City is called 'Zhuoshaju'."
The crows were silent, and everyone held their breaths and stared.
Suddenly, Duan Chenbi caressed his beard and laughed loudly: "The dignified young master, he has been in the world like a cow and a horse, and he doesn't know how to hide his demeanor." Stepping under the eaves, his voice became more forceful, "Disrupting moves and shouting, must be ordered The Beihou's ears and eyes have been swayed, should I praise you for being green?"
Huo Linfeng's mind was blank, and he watched helplessly as the other party approached.
Duan Chenbi said: "It's really calm and self-sustaining, it's too calm. It's worthy of being a young hero who faced thousands of troops and slaughtered the city at the age of seventeen." He kicked away the gravel at his feet, "How can you come up with an excuse for getting sick? Drinking in the desert Blood chewer, can this drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River hurt you?!"
After a short pause, there was a hint of excitement in his stern expression: "Thirty years later, I never thought I would have the opportunity to see the unique move of the Huo family's swordsmanship again. It's such a sword to set the north and startle the wind!"
The words were clanging, like throwing a stone into the water with a crackling sound, which made Huo Linfeng stunned.
Foreshadowing, hinting, sitting all night, and meditating early in the morning, I didn't expect to be forced to this step. Now that the matter has come to this point, Duan Chenbi asked him: "General Huo, do you dare to admit it yourself?!"
He put his sword back into its sheath, and looked at Rong Luoyun through the misty rain.
— "I'm Huo Zhong, Huo Linfeng."
