Playing poker, the most common form of all gambling activities. Li Muye and Yue Donglei unanimously chose the simplest and fastest way to distinguish themselves. However, this is not a fight. A deck of cards is placed in the center of the table. There is only one set of the biggest cards, and the person who catches it is the winner. In this way, the beating becomes a real beating.
The rules of Texas Hold'em are simple, but the process is destined not to be simple.
The poker is placed there, and two people take action at the same time, each relying on their ability to get the card that they think is the best, while preventing the other party from getting a card that is greater than themselves.
Yue Donglei has a unique skill on his hands. His fingernails are slightly longer and are like blades. They can easily leave deep grooves on the table, not to mention dealing with human skin and blood vessels. Li Muye's hand skills are inferior to him, so he must be more accurate and faster than him. It is naturally more difficult to avoid its sharp edges and at the same time get the big cards that everyone wants to get.
Yue Donglei had the upper hand. Seeing that the Ace of Spades was about to be taken away by him, Li Muye's fingers lit up with a little open flame. Yue Donglei changed his color slightly: "How dare you use Sanjinghuo on your hand!" He said decisively. give up. The Ace of Spades immediately turned into ashes.
Li Muye said: "My martial arts talent is average, and I don't have your iron-clad skills, so I have to try some surgical methods."
Yue Donglei stopped talking and turned his hand to grab the Ace of Hearts. Li Muye followed the same pattern and fought for it. The two of them intertwined their wrists and competed. The Ace of Hearts danced up and down between them like a butterfly through flowers. Yue Donglei suddenly raised his foot and kicked Li Muye in the stomach. Li Muye suddenly pressed down with his left hand, slamming the table down and grabbing Yue Donglei's knees. Yue Donglei's muscles tensed, his original intention was to Relying on the strength of his leg skills, he kicked Li Muye away, but suddenly he felt numbness in his legs. He suddenly realized that he was poisoned. He suddenly leaned back and kicked the other leg on the table. The remaining poker cards were smashed by him. The kick flew up.
Li Muye went to catch the flush of hearts, while Yue Donglei simply gave up the flush and went to catch four old kings. The two started fighting for a king of hearts. Yue Donglei's left leg was paralyzed. He didn't know what the plot was, so he was a little distracted. His skills were not as good as Li Muye's, and the King of Hearts was finally snatched away by Li Muye.
Yue Donglei frowned and said: "Your physical skills have reached the peak of what you can do. You don't practice a few unique skills, but you work hard on this shameless little skill. It really surprises me."
Li Muye said: "Limited by my talent, my personal level as a Grandmaster is no more than this. Even if I work hard to develop a unique skill such as the Black Sand Palm, I can't compare to you talented Kung Fu geniuses." I don’t have enough talent, so I might as well choose some small fur techniques that can better utilize my strength and practice them, wouldn’t this be very effective?”
"I thought that when one has reached the master level in kung fu, one should have the master spirit of competing with God for fate and honing oneself." Yue Donglei said: "It seems that I think highly of you. It's hard for me to imagine that when a person can understand clearly You have the ability to sense the limits of your own functions, accurately control the force erupted from every muscle, and even control your metabolic rate, but you still believe in things other than yourself?"
"Thank you for your teaching." Li Muye said: "But unfortunately, you do think highly of me. I have never been a pursuer. I am a pragmatist. As long as I can survive, I will be good. ability."
Yue Donglei smiled bitterly: "I finally understand why a person like Hall Master Bai likes you. Well, you win."
Li Muye held a red-heart flush and said: "You have a chance to choose, answer my question or give up your life to me?" Yue Donglei said: "You ask, if you can answer, you must tell the truth. If you can't The answer is, I have no choice but to ask you to use some tricks to take my old life."
"You have been poisoned, your legs and feet are inconvenient, and your kung fu is greatly reduced. You and I are almost the same in strength. You are stronger in real kung fu and fighting experience, and I am better in more tricks. Now one is ebbing and the other is victorious. No suspense." Li Muye said: "I don't want your life today, I just want to know one thing. Did Jiang Qiuping kill Escobar with your help?"
That incident happened seventeen years ago. It is already a thing of the past and seems to have little relevance to the present. Since Li Muye asked this question, he naturally had a judgment in his mind. Yue Donglei thought for a moment and immediately grasped the key, saying, "Do you want to dig out the Baiyun Hermit next to Huo Ze?"
The Baiyun Hermit he was talking about was probably the Xibei that Ji Xuefei said Bai Wuxia sent to various gangs.
"You are wrong, to be honest. I don't care about Bai Wuxia's plan at all. Digging out Jiang Qiuping won't solve much of the problem. I just want to confirm one thing by asking you." Li Muye said: "You just need to tell It’s enough that I am or am not.”
Yue Donglei frowned in thought and said, "That's not what you said at the beginning."
Li Muye said: "I have never expressed my position. In my opinion, Xuanmen and Baiyuntang are not good birds, nor are they bad people. The struggle for hegemony in the world is dog bites dog. Whoever wins The truth is the greatest. Taoism says that you are demons. They flaunt morality and restrict human freedom. They also do evil for the sake of so-called righteousness. They are a little out of control and are more destructive than you. They kidnapped my sister. , forcing me to go against Bai Wuxia, what kind of morality does he have?"
Yue Donglei hesitated for a while and asked, "What do you want to prove?"
Although he has a death wish, there are still things he can't let go of.
Li Muye said: "It's okay to tell you. I just want to confirm whether Li Zhonghua and Sun Delu's judgment on Bai Wuxia's character is accurate."
"Does this make sense to you?"
"Of course it makes sense. Just imagine, she and I are only one year apart, but when I was still peeing and muddy, she was already planning to assassinate her own cousin who is at the top of the literary list. Who is such a naturally vicious woman? Do you dare to get along with her?" Li Muye said: "But since you have scruples and refuse to give me a clear answer, I'll just let this question go. I have no confidence in taking your life today, so let's make an appointment another day."
"Li Muye, what do you mean?" Yue Donglei asked in surprise, "Are you not going to kill me?"
"You are really interesting. Wouldn't it be nice to live a good life?" Li Muye stopped and looked back at him, smiling: "You live a good life, and I also live a good life. Why should the two of us have to fight for our lives because of other people's few words?" Beat you to death? I'm not sure I'll kill you today. Let's fight another day. Anyway, I think this place is pretty good."
"How do you plan to explain it to Xuanmen?" Yue Donglei asked.
Li Muye looked at him. This man was an old-school Jianghu man, paranoid and full of idealism. This kind of person could be called the best cannon fodder. Anyone who wants to do great things needs this kind of guy who adheres to morality and ideals and has a fearless spirit in the early stages of establishment. In Bai Wuxia's hands, people like him are at best a chess piece charging into the battlefield, and they don't know too many valuable secrets.
"Isn't it normal that I can't beat you to death?" Li Muye said: "Xuanmen are all righteous people with great benevolence and righteousness. They will not embarrass a little woman like my sister. In comparison, Bai Wuxia is not a good man or woman. , if I really chop off your head, she can take the opportunity to kill my whole family, and then she will really fight to the death. I, Li Muye, have been in the world for so many years. Although I am not very knowledgeable, I still have some sharp eyesight. Depth, I can still see why Xuanmen instigated me to kill you."
Yue Donglei said: "If that's the case, why would you risk this trip?"
Li Muye smiled and said: "I want to observe your Hall Master Bai from other angles, and meet with you for a while to confirm my recent experience in tempering my body and mind."
Yue Donglei said: "The foundation of your physical skills mostly comes from external forces. Most of them are eaten rather than practiced, so they are not strong. Although you have the understanding of a great master, you do not have the strength, power, precision and speed of a great master." You have more than enough, but your strike power and resistance to blows are very poor. First, you are limited by your talent, and second, you have not found a trick to strengthen a certain part of yourself and use it as a trump card. From a practical perspective, you are not really a taijutsu player. Grand Master, but on a spiritual level, your reaction speed, vision, hearing and smell, perception and even prediction are all better than mine, probably because you have received the true inheritance of Hall Master Bai."
Li Muye said: "My interest in taijutsu probably ends here. When I was in the Far East, Liu Changfeng told me that everyone's body has a limit, and taijutsu training is to help practitioners find this limit. , people who have reached this limit have completed 100% understanding of their own potential, even if they are in the realm of the Grand Master. After reaching this realm, they can maintain themselves in the best condition by adjusting their diet and exercising appropriately according to their own situation. That's enough for me."
Yue Donglei said: "But you defeated me after all, but I didn't answer your question. This is equivalent to you sparing my life. I, Yue Donglei, always like to owe others. If you don't mind it, I will." I'm willing to teach you a unique trick on my finger." As he spoke, he raised his right hand and suddenly flicked his finger at the wall beside him. With a pop, his fingertip pierced half an inch into the wall and introduced: "This trick It's called Iron Finger, a unique skill evolved from the power of an eagle's claw. It's a boy's skill. If you are older, your bones are not in the development stage and cannot withstand such a large destructive force. Once the damage is damaged, it cannot be recovered. It’s not very suitable for practice, but it doesn’t matter, you can work around it and use the force of your fingers to pop something out as a killing move.”
"This is worth a try." Li Muye became interested and said, "Tell me, how to practice this Kung Fu?"
"The foundation of Iron Finger is the Eagle Claw Skill. To practice the Eagle Claw Strength, the methods of each school are similar. It is nothing more than grabbing the jar, inserting sand, pinching walnuts, pulling up the rope with your fingers, etc. The methods are almost the same. The key is to train your fingers and retain the kung fu in your body. Good prescriptions will become stronger the more you practice them. Bad prescriptions will have little effect and may even be counterproductive." Yue Donglei said : "My recipe is a unique secret recipe inherited from the Yue family's Sanshou, and it was improved by Hall Master Bai himself."
Yue Donglei ordered someone to get a pen and paper, write the secret recipe on it, hand it to Li Muye, and said: "There is actually no secret to practicing martial arts. No matter how talented you are, you can't do without hard work. The most important thing is to be afraid of injury and recovery. Slow down, you have more control over your own situation than me now. You don’t need anyone’s guidance on how to practice. You have collected this prescription. You can prepare the medicine according to the prescription. The rules for external application and internal administration are all written on it. After using it, It can strengthen fascia and bones, helping you recover in a short time and continue strengthening your exercises.”
Li Muye took the recipe and said with a smile: "This kung fu is interesting, I will practice it hard." (End of Chapter)
