Chapter 12: The Three-Day Covenant
Hua Bushi said with a smile: "Among your senior brothers, Zhu Hong's light skills are the worst, what is the surprise that you are better than him?"
"But people are really working hard to practice!" The little girl pouted, as if she was about to cry, but suddenly raised her eyes and saw Yang Jiangyi standing beside Hua Bushi, and said, "This sister is so beautiful, is she the wife of Master Gongzi?"
Hua Bushi's face turned red and said, "Ling'er, don't talk nonsense! She is a girl in Yang Jiangyi from the Huashan faction." ”
Na Ling'er smiled and said, "Master Gongzi has never brought outsiders here!"
Hua Bushi looked embarrassed, and said to Yang Jiangyi: "This little girl's name is Bai Yiling, she can be regarded as my disciple, she is too young and has no mouth, please don't be surprised by Miss Yang." ”
Hua Bushi's disciple?
Yang Jiangyi was quite surprised in her heart. When this little girl named Ling'er jumped out of the courtyard gate just now, Yang Jiangyi had already seen that her light skills were very foundational, and her body was flexible, and she was obviously equipped with good martial arts. And how could Young Master Hua, who had no strength to tie the chicken's hands and was clumsy even walking, be her master? If this little girl and Hua Bushi were allowed to do something, they would probably have to lie down as long as they looked at each other.
Seeing that Yang Jiangyi had not spoken, Hua Bushi said: "Miss Yang, this is not the place to speak, let's go into the courtyard." He turned his face and ordered the little girl: "Ling'er, go to the back and ask your senior brothers to come to the living room together!"
The living room is small.
In the center of the room were two rows of wooden chairs, at the top of which was a square table, and the walls were empty.
Yang Jiangyi sat on a chair, looking at this room without any decoration with some curiosity, it seemed that the living room where she wanted to come to the gangs should not be so shabby.
Hua Bushi had a smug expression, as if he were a king sitting in a splendid palace to entertain the visiting envoys of his neighbors.
Ling'er had four senior brothers, and soon they walked into the living room in turn and gave Hua Bushi a salute. These people are all very young, and they all look like they are not yet twenty years old. Unlike Bai Yiling, these four senior brothers showed great respect for Hua Bushi, and there was even a bit of awe in their eyes. This kind of awe Yang Jiangyi is very familiar, and it is the most typical attitude of the disciples towards the teacher among the famous schools.
Hua Bushi introduced these people to Yang Jiangyi one by one.
Senior brother Yu Qianli, tall and tall, with a bit of scholarly temperament, wearing a white robe, looks quite chic and elegant.
The strong man with a square face and big ears is the second senior brother, named Zhu Hong. This man's hands and feet* and his arms are bruised, but his face is honest.
The third senior brother Ximen Hitomi's body is extremely thin, dressed in black, and his face is like a beautiful jade, if he is allowed to put on red makeup in a bun, he will definitely be a peerless beauty.
The fourth senior brother, Li Hu, was a murderer, with loose hair and an expressionless face. None of the others had come with weapons, except for an unsheathed sword stuck at his waist. Yang Jiangyi is a person who practices swords, so he naturally took a second look at that sword. Seeing that the hilt and gauntlet of the sword were normal, but the blade was much wider than that of an ordinary long sword, but it was extremely thin, and the sharp spots were swimming, which was obviously an unusual sharp weapon.
From the demeanor and actions of these people, Yang Jiangyi can see that none of them are mediocre in martial arts. This is not surprising, thinking that Hua Bushi is the young head of the Evil Dog Sect, his subordinates will naturally be carefully selected people.
What puzzled Yang Jiangyi was that although these people were all strong, the aura they exuded was different. Generally, the senior brothers in the same sect, because they inherit the martial arts of the same vein, even if there is a slight difference in the internal force and heart method they practice, it will not be too far behind. Therefore, all the disciples in the famous sect will have similar breaths, and the more advanced the qigong practice, even the temperament and perception will be similar. This is the reason why some experienced people can often tell at a glance which sect someone comes from.
However, the aura exuded by these senior brothers is completely different, completely different, and it is obvious that the internal skills they practice are by no means the same lineage.
Yang Jiangyi was relieved immediately. This evil dog gate is a gang of rivers and lakes, not an authentic martial arts sect, most of these people are bringing art to vote, and they already have a good kung fu before worshipping the evil dog gate. And this Hua Bushi is an extremely incompetent evil young master, how can he really teach them internal skills. The so-called title of master and apprentice must be that this young master of Hua Da relied on his power to forcibly take these people under the door, and called them out from time to time to show off.
Thinking of this, Hua Bushi's image in Yang Jiangyi's eyes is even more unbearable!
But seeing that Hua Bushi comforted these "senior brothers" with warm words, and pretended to tell them to practice hard, but he performed the style of the sect master vividly, which made Yang Jiangyi, who was sitting next to him, almost want to be disgusted!
Not long after, Hua Bushi ordered the "disciples" to retreat, and only he and Yang Jiangyi were left in the living room.
"Miss Yang, is it a little talent, there is a suggestion, I wonder if the girl would like to listen to it?"
Yang Jiangyi said angrily: "If you want to say it, just say it!"
Hua Bushi coughed lightly and said: "Xiao Ke wants Miss Yang to live in my 'evil dog courtyard' for three days, and after three days, the girl will leave for her own convenience, and she will never be forced to stay in the next place, and she will be offered five hundred taels of silver as compensation for the girl." ”
"Oh?" Yang Jiangyi was stunned when she heard this, not knowing what the hell this young master was doing.
Hua Bushi said: "In these three days, you only need to practice a martial art according to my method, that is, the 'Powerful Demon Suppression Sword Technique', except for practicing swords, other things will not force the girl, but I don't know what Miss Yang wants?"
Yang Jiangyi lowered his head and groaned, without words.
Hua Bushi said again: "The 'vigorous demon swordsmanship' was one of the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin Temple, although the sword spectrum that circulated abroad was slightly incomplete, but it was also a rare Zen authentic swordsmanship, and it would not insult the girl if you practiced it." I also spent a lot of money on this sword book, and it was not easy to get it..."
"Why do you think that this 'Powerful Demon Subduing Sword Technique' is suitable for me to practice?" Yang Jiangyi unceremoniously interrupted Young Master Hua's words and asked out loud.
Hua Bushi said: "Miss Yang doesn't know anything, Xiao Ke has loved medical skills since she was a child, and she is very proficient in this 'physical and understanding people' technique. That day on the Moon Tower on the bank of the Xiangjiang River, I applied the technique of 'looking at the body' on the girl, and I knew that the girl was very qualified in martial arts, especially good at learning such fast and fast swordsmanship. ”
"Measure the meridians?" Yang Jiangyi's face changed slightly, and he said: "It turns out that the tailor called by Zhenniang yesterday was also in collusion with you, no wonder it took so long to make just one skirt!"
Hua Bushi smiled and said: "Zhou Xiangfu, the owner of the silk village, is also one of my creditors, and I want him to help me a little." ”
Seeing that he was put on the spot by this eldest young master again, Yang Jiangyi was angry and speechless for a while.
Seeing that Yang Jiangyi didn't speak, Hua Bushi said again: "This 'body recognition' technique includes four methods: looking at the body, taking the pulse, touching the bones and measuring the meridians, if Miss Yang is still not at ease, I can use the method of 'touching the bones' to measure it again, and then I only need to touch the bones and joints of the girl's whole body, and I can be sure what kind of martial arts the girl is suitable for, and then we can..."
A girl's family, how can she let this evil young master touch her whole body? When Yang Jiangyi heard this, he was immediately furious in his heart, and his face sank, and he was about to break all the bones and joints of this thief's body!
Fortunately, Hua Bushi is very good at checking his face, and seeing Yang Jiangyi's unkind face, he hurriedly changed his words: "It's just that men and women are different, of course, this method... Hey... Not very convenient. Even so, with the technique of 'looking at the body' and 'measuring the meridians', Xiao Ke is also seventy or eighty percent sure. ”
Although the Huashan faction has strict rules, Yang Jiangyi's master, Hua Qingzhen, is a very open-minded person, and he has no intention of rejecting the swordsmanship of other factions, but often says to Yang Jiangyi that "the stones of other mountains can attack jade". It's just that Yang Jiangyi has always lived on Mount Hua, and he didn't have the opportunity to learn the martial arts of other sects before that.
Hua Bushi saw that Yang Jiangyi was still silent, and said: "Miss Yang is here for the 'Five Tiger Heroes Conference', anyway, the conference is still nine days away, and there will be no loss if you stay in my house for three days, and you can easily earn five hundred taels of silver, why not?"
This young master is obviously well versed in the way of business, and the sales words on his lips are endless: "Although I think my 'Vicious Dog Courtyard' is in the alley, it is a rare and quiet place, and the backyard wing room is even more spacious and comfortable, and it is no longer suitable for self-cultivation here." It's the season of flowers in the garden, and the scenery is so beautiful that you just need to look at it and you'll never want to leave, and you won't feel bored for a few months..."
"Well, I promise you. Along the way, he had already learned Hua Bushi's eloquence, Yang Jiangyi hurriedly interrupted his words and said.
If he didn't stop it in time, this young master of Huada would not stop for several hours in a row.
Hua Bushi was overjoyed when he heard this, jumped up and said, "That is the case, Xiao Ke will take the girl to the backyard to see the sword book now!"
The two of them walked out of the living room and went straight to the backyard.
Following in the footsteps of Hua Bushi, Yang Jiangyi found that although the courtyard of this house was very inconspicuous, and the living room in the front hall was quite shabby, the inner courtyard was very large. The courtyard of the three entrances, each of which has a radius of dozens of zhang, has many wings on all sides, and there are cross-courtyards at both ends of the east and west, and it is more than enough to live in one hundred and eighty people.
Although the place is big, it is also very quiet, and none of the maids and servants can see it along the way, which is three points emptier than the old mansion of the Hua family where Yang Jiangyi lived two days ago. In the center of each inner courtyard, there are several places for practicing martial arts, during which there are stone locks, sandbags, wooden figures and other things for practice, and some utensils that even Yang Jiangyi does not know.
In the innermost courtyard, Yang Jiangyi also saw a large square pool with a length and width of three zhang and a depth of eight or nine feet, which was filled with clear water, and the blue water did not know what it was for.
