Chapter 34 The River in Distress


The "Shadowless Sword" is by no means in vain, once the sword qi starts to speed up, it will be like thunder and lightning, which is very terrifying.Although Tang Fu is better in light skills, he is faster than Zhao Zhen's body technique, but he may not be faster than Zhao Zhen's moves......

Just after ten moves, Tang Fu's waist and arms were rubbed two or three times by the sword qi, and he suffered some flesh wounds.This does not bode well......

Tang Fu didn't know how the "Shadowless Sword" consumed physical strength and internal force, let alone the upper limit of Zhao Zhen's internal force, in case the other party could put one or two hundred rounds like this without stopping, then he couldn't afford it.A master like Tang Fu is very fast at "settling accounts" in battle, and he can make judgments based on experience and instinct with little to no thinking.Therefore, after being rubbed by the sword qi, Tang Fu immediately changed the way of "cautious observation" and turned defense into offense.But seeing that, he faced the sword qi, did not retreat, did not avoid the backlash, and quickly shortened the distance between him and Zhao Yuan.Even when Zhao Zhen saw it, he couldn't help but praise secretly in his heart: "It's really a master!"

”How to break the "Shadowless Sword"?

Tang Fu chose the correct answer - close combat can be broken.Once it comes to a closer distance than ordinary melee combat, such as wrestling and grappling, the Shadowless Sword will not be able to exert its power, and will even appear weaker than ordinary swordsmanship.But not everyone can figure this out.When most people face Zhao Zhen's tricks, they will choose to distance themselves and pull them farther away, so that the time for the sword qi to reach their side will be longer, and the space for them to dodge will be larger.Although this is also a solution, it does not solve the problem, and at most it delays time.And Tang Fu did the opposite, he did not hesitate to let his ribs hit two more swords, but also to get close to the opponent to the limit.Of course, Zhao Zhen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, as a master, if he wants to gain a long-term foothold in the rivers and lakes, he can't let go of his obvious weaknesses, and in the face of close combat, he naturally has a way.said that it was too late, and seeing Tang Fu coming to deceive him, Zhao Zhen turned the sword trick in his hand, turned two fingers into five fingers, turned the "sword" into "claws", and swept his arm with a swing.The power of this "claw", although it can not be affected far away like the shadowless sword qi, it still has a sharp momentum, as long as it is swept and rubbed, it will be like a sharp blade."

Hmph......"

But when Tang Fu saw this move, he immediately sneered.He deserves to laugh and is qualified to laugh.As the "White Tiger Banner Master" of the Five Spirits Sect, Tang Fu is most proficient in the White Tiger Palm in the Apologetic Divine Skill.If you play similar martial arts in front of him, you have to at least take out the level of the Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand to be enough for him to see; Like Zhao Zhenyi, who is based on a unique sword technique and derived from his own research, it can only be regarded as a "workaround", and it is not even a perfect kung fu.Breaking this is much easier than breaking the Shadowless Sword.At that moment, Tang Fu stared, his eyes were like lightning and thunder, murderous, his palms moved in response to the situation, carrying two strong winds, each in mid-air to pick out an arc, and then intersected in one place, in this flickering and staggering, flickering and relaxing, the palm wind has appeared, and a style of "white tiger returning to the mountain" rushed towards the opponent.Zhao Zhen hurriedly came out of his palm to block, but he was defeated by Tang Fu's strong internal strength, under the high-fives of the two sides, Zhao Zhen was shocked out of two feet away, and both arms were numb, fortunately he retracted his strength in time at the last moment, and used his internal strength to protect his heart with all his strength, so that he was not stirred up by the residual energy that rushed into the body."

Who am I?

It turned out to be the White Tiger Banner Master of the Five Spirits Sect......

Disrespectful, disrespectful. ”Zhao Zhen is also knowledgeable, even if he is a person on the Green Forest Road, he rarely deals with those Jianghu sects, but he still has a number of what the apologetic magic skills of the Five Spirits Sect are, so after this move, he immediately deduced the identity of the other party."

Brother Zhao, your shadowless sword is really unique and worthy of its reputation."

Tang Fu was the same, as soon as he moved, he knew who the other party was.These two are ostensibly blowing each other in business, but in fact, they are using these words to show that "I have recognized you" and play a deterrent role.After a few seconds of pause, Zhao Zhen said again: "The Five Spirit Sect is actually interested in these three, which is a bit interesting, but I don't think you guys are here for money, right......

When they were in Luoyang, they got something from the Tianqi Gang that you were interested in?

”I have to say that Zhao Zhen's brain is not slow, just say these two sentences, and he guessed the other party's intentions.But the move ......

But Tang Fu's tone suddenly turned cold: "The surname is Zhao, I didn't come to ask about your intentions, but you guessed mine first, this is a bit unsophisticated, right?"

”Zhao Zhener had insight into the strong murderous intent from these words, and he felt that the situation was unfavorable, so he quickly changed his tone and smiled: "Huh......

Don't worry, Lord Tang Qi, I'm not interested in your affairs of the rivers and lakes, and I'm not the kind of person who will go around talking nonsense, today......

I'll give you a face, Master Tang Qi, and go first. ”When the words fell, he had already turned and swept up, and ran as fast as he could.Tang Fu hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't chase him, just stood there and was silent for a moment, and then, he suddenly turned his face and glared in the direction where Mo Zhiyu was.At this moment, Mo Zhiyu had hidden behind a ridge more than twenty meters away from the roof of the inn and secretly observed, she thought that she had not been discovered, but by Tang Fu's glare, Mo Zhiyu's whole person was so frightened that she almost didn't roll off the eaves.And after Tang Fu finished glaring at her, he actually turned his head again and glanced in the other direction in the same way.At this time, Mo Zhiyu was stupid, and said in his heart: "Wait, is there more than the three of us here?"

Is there anything hidden nearby that hasn't shown up?

”She was surprised that the soup cloth on the roof of the inn had been casually covered with the tiles that had been lifted by Zhao Zhen, and then she performed light skills and disappeared into the night like a wisp of black smoke.Actually, the soup is a bit empty at this time.In the confrontation with Zhao Zhen just now, on the surface, Tang Fu won, and Zhao Zhen was also bluffed by him, thinking that he had won, but in fact, Tang Fu did not take much advantage.In contrast, in the end, even Tang Fu was more seriously injured......

Don't look at Tang Fu's hard power is more than thirty percent stronger than Zhao Zhenyi, but the "Shadowless Sword" is precisely a martial art that can ignore this gap; This kung fu is similar to Sun Yi's "Harmonious Boxing", unless your strength is two or three grades higher than him, or you have reached the "top level", otherwise as long as he shows it, he can bring you a little trouble.Many of the "swordsman-level" masters on the Green Forest Road are the same as Zhao Zhenyi, although their hard power may not be as good as the "first-class masters" on the Jianghu Road, but they can rely on their "unique skills" to have a back and forth with the first-class masters.Tang Fu today, to put it bluntly......

It is because of his own arrogance and conceit that he suffers.If he didn't take the initiative to show up because of his superb martial arts, but chose to suddenly attack in the dark and catch Zhao by surprise, then he would definitely be able to solve the opponent unscathed, and he wouldn't be so embarrassed.However, no matter how injured Tang Fu is, it is more than enough to scare off a second-rate character like Mo Zhiyu.Moreover, Mo Zhiyu was still afraid of the other party who was still hiding in the shadows, and after weighing it, she decided......

Let's withdraw first.As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, whether it is the "Shadowless Sword" or the banner master of the Five Spirits Sect, it is not something that she can fight against with a single Mo weaving language; It's a long time coming, and she doesn't have to rush to send it at this point in time.In this way, the events of the night came to an end.That Sun Yihuan, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji were still asleep in the suite of the inn, not knowing that they would almost not see the sun the next day.………… The next morning, the three of them set off again without knowing anything, leaving Xinyang and continuing south.Out of Xinyang, this road becomes "difficult to walk", because from here to continue to the south, there are many mountains, the terrain is particularly dangerous, it is the natural barrier of the hidden thief.Therefore, along the way of the next part of the road, there are basically small villages, and there are no big towns, and many villages are half people and half bandits......

Of course, they can't be blamed for this, if it weren't for the fierce folk customs, I am afraid that they would not be able to survive in the local area at all.Sun Yihuan and the others were also very witty, and instead of continuing to travel in the "luxury carriage" that seemed to tell others that they were fat sheep, they sold the carriage before crossing the Shihe River, and prepared to cross the river and buy a few more horses to hurry.But unexpectedly, when they boarded a small boat by the river on this day, the sky suddenly changed on the river.In the blink of an eye, the wind was blowing and the rain was coming.The river is not as good as the river, and many rivers do not have special "ferries", and it is all up to local fishermen to pick up and drop off pedestrians crossing the river by the way with fishing boats.And this kind of boat, don't say that there are strong winds and waves, if you find two fat people to jump back and forth on it, you may turn over......

At present, the situation is not optimistic.At that time, there were naturally no lifeboats and life jackets or anything like that, and if the boat capsized in the middle of the river, I was afraid that all seven or eight people in the boat would be doomed.Some people may ask, the widest river is only a few hundred meters, even if it falls into the water, how long can it take you to swim to the shore?

Sorry, swimming in the river, swimming in the pool with you, those are two different concepts.Even if you swim in a calm river, the horizontal current will have a considerable impact on you, and it may take you 200 meters to swim for a distance of 100 meters......

Maybe the hell knows how many meters a wave can take you away?

Moreover, there were not many people who knew water in ancient times, except for some people who relied on water for food, most people really didn't need to learn, or they didn't have anywhere to learn.Right now, on this small boat, only Sun Yihe and the boatman who supported the boat are better in water, and even they are not completely sure that they will swim back to the shore from the center of the river in this storm, let alone the others, and if the boat capsizes, they will wait for death.At this critical juncture, I don't know whether it was providence or coincidence, under the push of the wind and waves, their small boat was forcibly pushed from a relatively narrow section of the river to a wide estuary.And in the mouth of the river, there is an island in the middle of the lake.This place, in fact, is one of the eight scenic spots of Xinyang that we know today, "Hezhou Pavilion", where it is, and now to this island, there is a bridge to walk, but there was no back then.As soon as the boatman saw that the land was reliable, he hurriedly put away the sails and hit the poles, and desperately changed the direction of the boat by whirling the waves, and finally ......

Succeeded in crashing his boat into a reef on an island in the middle of the lake.As for the boatload of people, it can be regarded as going ashore without danger; Except for the fact that he was soaked, he was basically fine, and most of his luggage was not lost.Now that everyone has gone ashore, let's find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and now that the ship is destroyed, even if we can find another ship on this island, it is impossible to sail again immediately.So the people began to look toward the island under the gloomy sky and in the wind and rain......

Fortunately, it was still daytime at the moment, and even if the black clouds covered the top, something could still be seen, and soon, someone saw the outline of a building in the distance.Not to mention, the building looks very large, vaguely like a temple.However, when the people asked to go there to take shelter from the rain, the boatman told them, "Ladies and gentlemen, you must not go there!"

”The people also wondered, why can't they go?

This led to that - the wind and rain were sent to the island in the middle of the lake, and the demons set up a banquet in Lanruo Temple.
