Chapter 471 Brother Chapter 446 The same night, different master and apprentice

Chapter 471 Chapter [-]

"The older my master is, the deeper his cultivation level will be... It's just that his body can't keep up with his cultivation level after all. When he is forced to reach the peak, he will at most throw three or five punches. It's just that these three or five punches are in the world, I'm afraid there are no How many people can handle it..."

The middle-aged man's words fell in his ears, and in his field of vision, Hong Ti's body rolled on the ground a few times, blood mixed with dust, and the color was dark red.Ning Yi walked over there, with gloomy eyes, and pressed the slightly painful forehead with the palm of his hand.He ran to Hongti's side and knelt down halfway, reaching out to help her, but he didn't dare to mess with her.Zhou Tong said over there, "You'd better not touch her."

Ning Yi glanced at Zhou Tong, and there was no joy or anger in his eyes.Not far away, Zhou Tong held his breath with both hands and carried his back behind him: "Oh? Do you want to kill me?"

Ning Yi didn't speak, Hong Ti's eyes shook, and she reached out to grab Ning Yi's arm. She struggled to get up, and "wow" spit out another mouthful of blood.Ning Yi quickly grabbed her back.No matter how powerful Hong Ti's martial arts skills are, after all, she is a woman in her 20s, and her body is extremely thin when she is injured. Ning Yi almost hugged her as carefully as possible, but Hong Ti just grabbed his sleeve and lived for a long time , just now said: "Master Zhou doesn't want to kill people, I, I'm fine..."

"You caught my three punches yourself. It's hard to say that I don't want to kill people." Zhou Tong looked at this side, paused for a moment, and then said, "You're fighting this way in the middle of a battle. I figured it out, but in the face of an old man like me, I wanted to keep my hands, which is very good. It’s not easy to have such a cultivation at your age, obviously there are some adventures.”

Ning Yi didn't quite understand what he said, but Hongti turned his head to look at Ning Yi.Zhou Tong noticed her movement, "Oh?", a little surprised.

At this time, the middle-aged man had also walked over, and Hongti struggled to sit up and teased a little. When she was knocked to the ground, she seemed to be quite serious, but the situation is getting better and better at this time.Zhou Tong waited for a while and said, "I don't know why you hate Taiwei Gao. This old man used to teach at the Imperial Fist Gym, and he has a affiliation with the Taiwei's mansion. It's a bit of incense. He also promised them. When necessary, I will do necessary things for the superior. This time I took action at the Taiwei's mansion, using this relationship, but I promised to be the Taiwei's mansion, not necessarily which Taiwei, Gao Qiu looked down on me. , let's leave this matter. You have to be careful yourself. I'm in the county seat in front of me. If your injury is okay, we can go together."

Ning Yi did not speak beside Hongti, but after Zhou Tong finished speaking, Hongti let out a sigh of relief, stood up slowly, and cupped his hands with Ning Yi's support: "Senior, these three punches inspire Hongti. It’s very big, if you succeed in the future, you must thank the seniors for your teaching.”

"I hit you, but you're still not dead. It's your ability to break through. You don't need to care about me." Zhou Tong was about to leave, remembering another thing, and turning his head to look at Ning Yi, "By the way, Young Master Ning is actually You work under the right minister, right?"

"Almost." Ning Yi's tone was cold.

Zhou Tong nodded: "You Xiang is a capable person. You are favored by him, so it's no wonder you can do such a thing..." The voice was not high, and there was a sigh in the words.

When he became famous all over the world, it happened to be Qin Siyuan's heyday.The Imperial Boxing Hall was subordinate to the Royal Family and the Ministry of War, and Qin Siyuan back then had the official position of the Minister of War, and in a sense, he was also one of his immediate superiors.Zhou Tong was determined to serve the country by practicing martial arts. When he was teaching in the Imperial Boxing Gym, he also wrote several times to want to lead the army, but Qin Siyuan was a practical person, and he was not interested in being the best in the world in martial arts.When Ning Yi wanted to study martial arts in Hangzhou, the old man had this attitude.

A person who is devoted to martial arts may not be able to train even if his martial arts are strong, just like Li Bai's poems are heroic, but he himself is not necessarily a capable official.Qin Siyuan used to deal with all kinds of things and was a coach of the Imperial Boxing Gym.Zhou Tong was unhappy in his official ambitions all his life, and there may not be a reason for Qin Siyuan, but when talking about Qin Siyuan at this time, he had to praise "he is a capable person".Ning Yi was able to gain Qin Siyuan's appreciation, and from his side, his mood was probably a bit complicated.These reasons, Ning Yi will soon be able to think clearly.

In the end, the other party didn't seem to have murdered, but Ning Yi was not in a good mood.But in the current situation, the people from Liangshan have not yet appeared, and Hongti has also been injured. He will not pay attention to arrogance. Since the other party invites him, Ning Yi will help Hongti and rush into the city with him.

The people in Liangshan did not appear in the end.

Zhou Tong's master and servant took care of Hong Ti's injury and walked unhappily.Not long after, the four who had known each other for a while, and the atmosphere and mood may not be in harmony, entered Yiyuan County. Ning Yi and Hongti stayed at the hotel, and they had a meal together that night.It could be seen that Zhou Tong didn't necessarily have much affection for Ning Yi, but he was quite satisfied that Hongti, a junior in the martial arts, had such skills. In his words, he pointed out Hongti's experience in martial arts.And when the meal was about to end, Zhou Tong still said something to Ning Yi.

"Young Master Ning, I have something I want to ask you."

His tone was flat, and Ning Yi was not necessarily enthusiastic: "You tell me, I will listen."

Zhou Tong simply finished the request, Ning Yi nodded noncommittally, and left to go back to the room with Hong Ti soon after.He doesn't have a good opinion of the number one master in the world right now. Although he can understand the various bad habits of such masters rationally, and maybe it will be good for Hong Ti, but thinking about Hong Ti's injury just now, it is not necessarily so. What a good mood.It's just that this kind of disgust is not enough to kill him. This kind of master is too powerful. When it comes to Zhou Tong's cultivation level, Qiufeng has not moved the cicada, and if he hates him and doesn't plan to kill him, it is best to be in the future. Don't deal with it as well.

It's just that about Hongti, he also has some opinions in his heart.After sending Hongti back to the room, he grabbed some medicines according to the recipe she gave and sent them to a boil, and then brought her hot water to wash her face, and prepared a towel, etc., before Ning Yi was ready to speak.Hongti seemed quite satisfied with the disciple's behavior of "respecting the teacher and valuing the Tao". Ning Yi told her not to move, so she also sat beside the bed with her hands flat on her lap, watching Ning Yi busy. She was busy to settle her, with a smile on her face, her face flushed, like a little daughter-in-law.But then it was missed.

And the first sentence people are said is often "I didn't say you."

"I didn't say you." Ning Yi frowned and said, "I couldn't help it this afternoon. He is number one in the world, Zhou Tong with an iron arm, I have said it many times. This old man said he would beat you , for the sake of face, I must beat you, but you still keep your hands. The old man said you want to keep your hands, don’t deny it, you are only in your 20s, and you are not invincible. In front of Zhou Tong, you want to keep your hands. Hand, after you say it, everyone will say that you deserve to be beaten to death. Think of yourself as Fang La or Sikong Nan!"

Since the afternoon, Ning Yi has been thinking about this matter in his heart. With his qi-raising skills, he can keep all his emotions in his heart when dealing with others, but when dealing with his own people, he is a little more direct.It's just that after saying this, Hongti also looked at him over there, his smile became deeper, but his tone seemed aggrieved.

"You... really want me to fight Senior Zhou without letting go?"

"I can't keep it... Also, don't call me Senior Zhou, I don't have a good impression of him."

"But... you also heard that I'm a style of play that I practice on the battle formation. If I do my best, I will fight for life and death. It's okay to fight against those with lower martial arts. To this senior Zhou, if I don't let go, He can't keep his hands either. If we want to decide the outcome today, I can't stop dying... In that case, I'm definitely dead today..."

Hongti said at the end, his tone was soft, Ning Yi frowned, his expression froze for a moment before he waved: "That's it... Then forget it, this guy's martial arts is really too high, he can hit that with three punches... It's an old monster..."

Hongti shook his head and said, "No, if he really wanted to kill someone at that time, I could have stood up immediately to protect you and escape..."

Speaking of this, his face turned slightly red, and Ning Yi was stunned for a while: "Then...you...you're a liar..."

The blushing woman continued to shake her head vigorously: "No, I had to get up and fight for my life immediately, and the injury will be hard to heal in the future. If I let it go, after I adjust my breath, it will be fine. Well... this is always better. …”

After calmly finishing these words, Hongti's face returned to normal, and he glanced at Ning Yi.

"However, the thing that Senior Zhou asked you to do... are you going to promise him?"

Ning Yi's face became serious, and for a moment, he shook his head indifferently: "Let's talk about it..."

**************

Since Ning Yi and the others were staying in the inn, people from the government and people from Dulonggang who were scattered in the surrounding counties looking for him soon came to look for him.After Ning Yi settled down with Hongti, he contacted and made arrangements one by one. Since he had nothing to do, there were Hongti and Zhou Tong in the inn, as well as the servant named "Fu Lu" beside Zhou Tong. , is the large-scale cleaning of Zhuxi and Anping counties by officers and soldiers and Dulonggang. On Ning Yi's side, there is not much follow-up trouble.

When he approached these people, Zhou Tong also looked around, and then he could only sigh at the ability of this young man. The catastrophe of Qilu Lulin seemed inevitable.Just based on his mood and thoughts at this time, he is too lazy to stand up for these green forest people. In a sense, on Zhou Tong's side, there is probably a feeling that "poor people must be hateful", some things , it's really self-defeating, no one to blame.

In this inn in Yiyuan County that day, Ning Yi and Hongti lived in two upper rooms, and Zhou Tong, due to his relationship with the boss, lived in a small independent courtyard at the back of the inn that originally belonged to the boss.I don't know if it was because of habit or what. When the night was getting dark, Zhou Tong didn't fall asleep. He slowly practiced a set of boxing in the courtyard, then sat and drank tea, lighting an oil lamp to write martial arts scriptures until late at night.After midnight, he took a wooden stick in the courtyard and practiced simple stick techniques. Soon, the night watchman struck the gong.Outside the back door of the courtyard, a figure hesitated on the dark road. He had been wandering for a long time. When he finally summoned up a little courage, the courtyard door opened, and the light came out. The one who appeared at the door was Zhou Tong's servant. Middle-aged Fu Lu, with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to the man outside.

"Little brother Lin Chong, don't think about it, just come in."

"Senior Brother..." At this time, it was Lin Chong who was standing on the street outside the door, with tears in his eyes, "I saw Master coming today... Master, his old man..."

"Shh, don't make a fuss. Master he knows."

Lin Chong nodded, walked inside, entered the courtyard gate, and saw an old man standing in a corner of the courtyard waving his stick slightly.With heat in his eyes, he knelt down and knocked his head down.

"Master..."

As if there were thousands of words stuck in his throat, Lin Chong was choked up, but he couldn't speak. He only kowtowed three times.

Time passed by minute by minute. In the courtyard, in the darkness, there was only the occasional sound of Zhou Tong swinging his bat. Under the eaves here, Fu Lu had his sleeves wrapped around his sleeves and stood there watching silently.After nearly half an hour, the stick in Zhou Tong's hand stopped, and an old voice sounded.

"What are you... doing?"

************

"...what are you doing?"

The almost suffocating atmosphere in the courtyard was relieved a little at this time.Lin Chong knelt there, his body trembling slightly. He had practiced martial arts since childhood, and Zhou Tong in front of him might not be the closest master to him, but he was definitely the most important one.All of this is also because the Yuquan Gym is not a private martial arts gym. Even if Zhou Tong accepts disciples behind closed doors, the number of disciples is not small.

For Zhou Tong, Lin Chong respected him.But for this reason, after Zhou Tong left from the Yuquan gym a few years ago, there was no contact between the master and the apprentice. That's why, when I had an accident, I couldn't find it and didn't think to ask the master for help.When the grass fell later, Lin Chong, who knew Zhou Tong's upright personality, knew there was no turning back.He had never thought that he would meet this master who had been idle since he left, but since he met today, he had to come.

In fact, in his heart, not to mention that he does not expect the understanding of these less and less relatives and friends?

"Disciple, disciple is helpless, knowing that Master will punish you, but..."

"Punishment?" Before Lin Chong could finish speaking, the old man over there had already laughed, "Punishment...why should I punish you? Lin Chong, I'm old, and you've already rebelled. What is rebellion? Ren Lun master and apprentice, it will be difficult to use it to bind you, why should I punish you, punish you... is it still useful?"

Lin Chong's forehead slammed down: "Only Master's teaching, Lin Chong has never dared to forget it, but... it is really an unspeakable grievance..."

"I know!" The old man raised his voice, then nodded, "I know what you've been through, I've heard it! Your wife in your family was attracted by that Gao Yanei, and you hated Captain Gao because of it. People are stalking, framed! You have nowhere to go, and you are a thief. I've heard all of these things! But I just want to ask you one thing."

Zhou Tong stood in front of the courtyard and placed his stick on the ground. Lin Chong raised his head slightly: "Master..."

"I only ask you! Why do you want to be a pirate!?"

The words echoed in the courtyard, and there was a little hesitation and confusion in Lin Chong's eyes: "Disciple...there is no way out..."

"Why do you want to be a pirate if you have nowhere to go!?"

"Does it have anything to do with being cornered and being a pirate!?"

"Do you remember what I said!?"

These three questions reverberated in the courtyard, ringing in Lin Chong's ears, Lin Chong's eyes were confused: "Disciple... I don't know what Master said..."

Zhou Tong laughed: "I forgot, that's okay, stand up for me! Pull your gun! Do you remember the martial arts I taught you?"

"Disciple dare not forget..." Lin Chong stood up staggeringly and took out the steel gun behind his back.Zhou Tong only heard Zhou Tong say, "Show me a stance!" Lin Chong took a stance of a horizontal spear, and Zhou Tong said, "The spear point is forward!" Lin Chong pointed the spear tip to the front, and Zhou Tong strode away Come over: "Okay! You come and kill me!"

Lin Chong's body was shocked, and the spear in his hand almost fell. Zhou Tong held a wooden stick in one hand and did not make any defensive moves: "Come on! Come and kill me! What are you hesitating about!"

"disciple……"

"Stop being wordy! Stop hesitating! You're a rebel! You've rebelled against the emperor! You should shoot at anyone! Think about your wife! Think about the grievances you've suffered! You have no choice but to fall for the grass. For bandits! You only survive because you loot others! Eat other people's flesh and drink other people's blood! People like you should let go of all taboos! Since you have fallen, you should kill everyone who stands in your way. I have a pedantic temperament, and you will definitely not be allowed to mess around, what is it to kill a master! Come on! Kill me, stab me here! Here—"

Zhou Tong shouted loudly and came over step by step. Although he held a stick in one hand, he did not have any defensive posture. He grabbed the tip of Lin Chong's spear, aimed it at his throat, and then aimed at his heart.Lin Chong stepped back hesitantly, almost unable to hold the gun.In fact, if Zhou Tong said that he wanted to test his martial arts, he might have dared to take action, but Zhou Tong said "kill me".For Shi Shi, he didn't dare to make a move no matter what.

Zhou Tong let go of the tip of his gun and sneered: "Arrogant! Your master was the number one in the world a few years ago, and if I let you shoot, you can kill me? You don't even dare to shoot? You really are Afraid to kill me!?"

Lin Chong let go of the steel gun and knelt on the ground with a bang.

In the past, there was no friendship between master and apprentice. In the Imperial Boxing Gym, Zhou Tong was strict in teaching martial arts, but when the master and apprentice were not too close, he only knew Zhou Tong's seriousness and integrity.When he came over tonight, he had thought about the various treatments he had received, whether it was scolding him, punishing him, scolding him for understanding him, or even killing him, it was in line with his understanding of this master in his heart.However, after he really arrived, everything that happened was beyond Lin Chong's expectations. It was similar to how you should kill everything when you fall for the grass, but you thought you could kill me.Sentence-punching theory.By this time, he could only kneel down, with a determined look in his eyes.

"The disciple knows that his sins are difficult to clean up, and it is difficult to get the master's forgiveness. However, although Lin Chong went up the mountain and fell to the grass, he always forgets the morality and righteousness in his heart. No matter what today, if he does not dare to shoot at the master, it is the master who wants to kill... "

With a decision in his heart, this sentence became decisive. He knelt there, his eyes were clear and firm, but standing not far in front of him, the tall Zhou Tong was already laughing, as if he heard something Ironic nonsense.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

No.1 in this world stepped forward, and at the moment when Lin Chong raised his head in astonishment, he kicked Lin Chong hard on the chest.This kick was so powerful that it sent Lin Chong flying backwards. He smashed open the wooden door of the courtyard like a cannonball, and rolled out on the dark street outside the courtyard. He didn't know how far he was kicked.

Zhou Tong's voice came from the yard, and there was a sense of frustration in his words when he found that rotten wood was difficult to carve.

"I, Zhou Tong, from now on... without your disciple, coward."

The wind whimpered across the long street, the night was as dark as ink, and in that darkness, there was only the sound of blood dripping...

Before long someone wobbled up, stood wobbly, walked wobbly...

In the room of the inn at the rear, someone secretly listened to the movement here, but at this time, he shook his head with a sigh.

"Hey, what a good teacher..."

At the door of the courtyard, Fu Lu stood there quietly and watched for a long time, until he saw the figure in the dark coughing up blood like a bereaved dog and leaving, then he silently closed the courtyard door.

Just got home, a little late...
