Tu Gou took a deep breath and said seriously, "I'm ready." ”

Old Man Mu looked at him with disdain, "What are you ready?"

"Go to the Central Plains martial arts people and find out their purpose for coming to Biyu City. ”

Old Man Mu yawned, "Then you go, if you don't die, come back and tell me, I'll make up for sleep first." ”

Tu Gou was not so stupid, and pointed at the old man Mu and laughed a few times.

Old Man Mu was puzzled, "Old dog, to tell you the truth, you are much weaker than when you were young, how can you turn yourself into a girl after more than ten years of retreat? ”

Tu Gou thought for a while, "That's really the case, maybe my concentration is stronger than before, isn't it...... Oh, I seem to understand, since I saw that you are a lot shorter, and your martial arts are not my opponent, I sigh and sigh with emotion......"

". Old man Mu jumped down from the chair, his wrinkled face was fierce, "I'm not your opponent?" ”

Slaughter Dog was very humble, "I am indeed far behind, the Dragon King's skill is a little worse than mine, but I can't beat him, but you-" Slaughter Dog shook his head, "Experience and skill can't make up for such a big gap." ”

Weak people are more likely to be provoked, the old man Mu confirmed this, knowing that the slaughter dog has always been open-mouthed, and there may not be malicious intent, he is still angry, the soles of his feet are hard, and the whole person bounces towards the target, and the first move is the killing move in the five-hole boxing.

The crutch in Tu Gou's right hand stood still on the ground, and he faced the battle with his left hand, and the two of them dismantled seven or eight moves in an instant.

Old Man Mu's face turned even redder, and he suddenly jumped back into the chair and waved his hand angrily, "Don't fight, it's boring, rotten wood can't be carved, and dog slaughter can't be taught, you can't understand it." ”

"Understand what?" Tu Gou was stunned, this was obviously a contest of martial arts, he had the upper hand, and he could defeat the opponent with a few more moves.

"Look at the martial arts you use, it is not suitable for the rivers and lakes at all, in the future, you should not go out at night, and you will hide when you see a dark place, and you may be able to save your life. ”

"What's wrong with my martial arts?" Tu Gou became more and more dazed, and unconsciously became weak.

Old Man Mu successfully got rid of the embarrassment of inferior skills, and began to comment seriously: "The palm technique you used just now is more than calm, and the fierceness is insufficient, obviously it is used to dismantle moves with others, what is a dismantling move? It is a method for fellow disciples or relatives and friends to practice moves, who makes what moves know each other's names, even if you find loopholes, it is just a reminder rather than taking advantage of the void." For the sake of the Dragon King's face, I have mercy on your subordinates, and if you really get to the rivers and lakes, how can there be such a good thing?"

"You mean I'm too soft on you?" Tu Gou vaguely understood the truth.

"Well, in short, if you want to survive in the rivers and lakes, you have to be ruthless, the shot is a killing move, you want to go step by step, you are afraid of dying with hatred halfway, and there is no chance to use the killing trick again. ”

Tu Gou was quite touched, his right hand was forced, and the crutches crushed the floor tiles, and said excitedly: "Let's fight again." ”

Mu Lao closed his eyes, "I want to sleep, I don't have time to play with you." ”

"When are we going to go out to find the Central Plains Martial Arts?"

"It's dark. ”

"Where to look?"

"Come with me. ”

"Do we need to be easy or something?"

"No, I don't have to. ”

"Do I need to get some sleep too?"

"Go to another house. ”

"Oh, I'll call you when it's dark, will it be black or all black?"

Old Man Mu's answer was a strange snoring.

Tu Gou didn't sleep long before he got up, watching the sun outside gradually set, silently counting the time in his heart, when the last ray of sunlight disappeared, he counted to a hundred in a low voice, pushed the door out of the house, walked to the next door, and was just about to knock on the door, the old man Mu also came out.

The old man Mu was in good spirits, seemed to have a good night's sleep, looked at the slaughter dog a few times, reached out to grab his crutches, slaughtered the dog to learn and use, and immediately slapped it with a palm, this time it was ten successful, and the palm was fierce.

Old Man Mu was taken aback, rolled over, and returned to the house, "What are you doing, are you crazy?"

"Aren't you testing my reflexes?"

"Test your sister's head, I'll let you leave the crutches behind. ”

The cane is a weapon used by the dog in recent years, and it almost never leaves his hand, "maybe he can use it." ”

"I said no. The old man walked out again in a huff.

Tu Gou smiled, didn't bother with him, and returned the crutches to his room.

The two of them left the house and wandered all the way to the east, the old man Mu was unhurried, and the slaughtering dog gradually became suspicious, and was about to ask, when he heard a continuous clanging sound in the distance, "Is that a blacksmith?"

Old Man Mu didn't answer, and they didn't go far, and they really walked into the blacksmith village.

Looking at the weapons hanging on the street, Tu Gou suddenly understood something, "Good idea, the Central Plains martial arts people also have to buy swords." ”

"I don't know if the Central Plains people will buy it or not, we have to buy it. ”

"Why?"

"You see that more than half of the men in Nancheng carry weapons and follow the customs of the locals, so we have to pretend. ”

"Well, that's also a kind of hiding. ”

"Sort of. ”

Old Man Mu walked into a large-looking blacksmith shop.

There are not many ready-made weapons in the shop, Tu Gou quickly chose a straight short knife, the old man picked and chosen, this one was not suitable, that one had a hard injury, and it took a while to pick up a long sword, "That's it, it will be used." ”

The blacksmith laughed twice, collected the money and gave it away, looked at the backs of the two, and said to the apprentice: "This is the first time I have seen a sword higher than a person." ”

The old man sped up, this time with a clear purpose, and soon arrived in front of a large mansion.

Unlike ordinary houses, the lights are brilliant, and there are many enthusiastic people standing at the door, and there is an endless stream of people coming in and out.

"It's ...... Ji Yuan?" Tu Dog asked.

"Zhexiangyuan, although the women here are not as beautiful as Liuren Lane, but they are better in a large number and rich in variety, I wanted to come and see it, but I never had the opportunity. ”

"This, this ......" Tu Gou blushed, "What are we doing here......?

"She's going to say 'oops, my brother has finally grown up Seijin', haha. Old man Mu's sharp voice imitated Tu Pianpian, but it was also a little similar.

"It's still not appropriate, we have a mission. ”

"Yes, I came here to carry out a mission, do you think, even I am interested in Zhexiang Garden, and those Central Plains martial arts people are not allowed to flock here?"

Before the slaughter dog could come up with a rebuttal, the old man had already stepped in.

Seeing that one of the two old guys was full of white hair and the other was as short as a child, it was not strange, so he immediately greeted him, asked for warmth, and inquired about the preferences of the two.

Tu Gou ate an unforgettable dinner, the first impression was the price, several hundred taels of silver, he was startled, fortunately the old man Mu was prepared, took out the gold to settle the bill; the second profound is the woman, Zhexiangyuan is really "rich in variety", there are many Hu people remember women, in the Tu Dog seems to look strange, but it is exciting, especially they are extremely friendly, he has never met before.

As for the dishes and wine, Tu Gou didn't care about it at the time, and he couldn't remember it clearly.

However, the old man Mu guessed wrong, the Central Plains martial arts people were obviously not interested in Zhexiangyuan, and they didn't have that night, and the people in the courtyard also claimed that there weren't too many Central Plains guests recently.

In the middle of the night, the two left drunk, Tu Gou couldn't help but glance back, and the old man patted his waist, "Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future, and then you will really open meat." ”

Tu Gou shook his head in frustration, "Don't come, never again, that's enough." ”

Old Man Mu laughed, obviously feeling that it was not enough at all.

Leaving the courtyard, the two came to a nearby gambling house, which was lively at the time, and dozens of gamblers were fighting shirtless.

Old Man Mu had to raise his voice and say: "The people of the Central Plains don't love Scoop Kee, they will definitely come to gamble on two, let's wait here for the rabbit." ”

"Do you still have money?" Tu Gou asked worriedly.

"Cut. The old man replied disdainfully, took out the gold, and asked a man to exchange it for silver, a few hundred taels of silver, and gave half of it to the slaughtering dog, "Take it and play." ”

"You're rich. Tu Gou was deeply shocked, although he was an elder of the Kongtong faction, he didn't make such a bold move, "It's been a long time, right?"

"Stupid, the old man was rampant in the North Court back then, was he a person who saved money? This is all the Dragon King's, do things for him, of course, he has to pay for it, let's gamble on the order, don't spend more, I'm sorry for the Dragon King's trust." ”

The values in Tugou's heart were greatly impacted, and although he was nervous, he still had to admit that he liked the experience tonight a little.

He didn't know much about gambling, and he stood in the crowd and watched for a while before he understood the rules, during which the old man had already lost all his money and took half of the gambling money from him.

The slaughter dog is on the field, and he chooses to roll the dice.

Old Man Mu also lost the last two ingots of gold, and almost bet on the sword he had just bought, but in the end he held back and came to the slaughter dog in a hurry.

The silver in front of the slaughtered dog was piled up into a small mountain, and the dealer opposite him was covered with sweat.

Old Man Mu's gold was exchanged again, and there was even a slight surplus.

"I didn't think you'd do it. Out of the gambling hall, Old Man Mu showed his admiration for the slaughter dog for the first time, "Who did you learn from?"

Tu Dog is very modest, "I haven't learned, but I think it's easy to roll the dice, as long as you have the right strength, you can have anything." ”

"Have you used your internal strength?"

"yes. ”

The old man pushed the slaughtering dog and ran, and only said after a while: "Tell you, only this once, don't take it as an example, gambling is to be frightened, it's not interesting to win, and besides, you will not be able to do it, this is not fair......"

Tu Gou was humbly accepting his lesson, Old Man Mu suddenly shut up, jumped on a courtyard wall next to him, Tu Gou jumped to his side, and looked at the past.

In the courtyard, a man pushed open the door and respectfully welcomed a woman in a black cloak in, and then led her into the eighth main room.

Old Man Mu looked intently, and Tu Gou suddenly understood that the woman in the black cloak was clearly Han Wuxian, and Old Man Mu was not wandering around with him, but following her.

This is not a task given to them by the Dragon King.
