Chapter Fourteen
Time is like flowing water, and it has been more than half a year since Zhou Gan became a master of the world's strange man, the hundred-armed sword immortal Zhou Gan. In the past six months, all the experiences of Zhou Gan are extremely strange and magical. More importantly, Zhou Gan's floating cloud hand has been achieved, which is also the period when Zhou Xun and Zhou Gan made an appointment to return to the Central Plains.
In the mass grave, Zhou Gan was practicing a set of palm techniques. This palm technique was incredible and elegant. Zhou Gan turned and stopped, and his feet were stepping on the four signs of the Eight Trigrams. His body moved with his feet, and his hands moved with him. When the palm technique was sliding, there was a faint sound of wind sizzling. Zhou Gan shook violently, his clothes were rushing, his palms were shaking, poking, or rubbing, and in the blink of an eye, eight moves were made, accompanied by blood and energy, and the meridians were like the "bang bang" sound of a bow, and eight pairs of footprints were stepped on the ground.
"Although the little eight styles of Fuyun are a little immature, they are already very good for your short time in martial arts practice." Zhou Xun nodded with satisfaction. In the past six months, he passed on all his life's learning to this apprentice, hoping to have the power to protect himself in the next disaster in the world. After all, he cannot be by his side all the time.
"Xiaohu, go and compete with the gods." Zhou Xun turned around.
Wang Hu responded, and as Ba Ziliu expected, Zhou Xun knew that Ba Ziliu had passed the "Cun Jin" to Zhou Xun, he passed a set of Hunyuan Jin to Wang Hu. This Hunyuan Jin was the best external martial arts practice in the world. Wang Hu had to practice hard and hard on logistics, and his own strength was no less than Ba Ziliu.
Wang Hu's physique was no less than that of an adult and strong man at this time, and he was very majestic in every move. The two looked at each other without saying a word, and immediately formed a group of people.
One of them had exquisite palm techniques, elegant feet, and the other had a fierce fist and palm. They only attacked but not defended. They fought very well. They just envied Li Sanshan next to them and kept muttering: "This old man is so cruel. I have begged him for half a year, but I actually passed everything to me. I really want to learn martial arts!"
After fighting for twenty or thirty moves, both of them were exhausted. Zhou Gan saw a gap. When Wang Hu couldn't get his move, he practiced three palms and accurately hit Wang Hu's atrium, Juque, and Qihu's three acupoints. Wang Hu's whole body became soft. When he came to his senses, Zhou Gan had already pointed like a sword and stopped at Wang Hu's throat one inch.
"I lost," Wang Hu shook his head with a wry smile, "Third brother, you don't know how you practice martial arts. I practice martial arts three years earlier than you now, and now I can't beat you."
"Brother Wang~" Zhou Gan touched his head embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter, don't act like a daughter." Wang Hu laughed and said.
"It's time for a child. Let's go back to the Central Plains tomorrow!" Zhou Xun looked up at the south, wondering what he was thinking.
The three of them were stunned when they heard this. Zhou Gan hesitated for a while and said, "Master, this~ Why don't you bring Brother Li and Brother Wang with you!"
Zhou Xun frowned and said lightly: "Why!"
"Brothers share blessings and difficulties!" Zhou Gan straightened his little chest.
Zhou Xun stared at Zhou Gan for a while. Zhou Gan looked straight at Zhou Xun without any fear, with his eyes firm and open.
Zhou Xun suddenly smiled and said, "Go back to pack your luggage, I will wait for you three at the city gate tomorrow."
The three of them cheered and returned with a grudge.
"Just split here!" The three of them walked to the intersection and Wang Hu said, "I have to discuss with my adoptive father, but with his adoptive father's personality, he will probably nod and agree."
"I haven't left Changzhou City yet!" Li Sanshan said suddenly.
Back at his residence, Zhou Gan looked up at the starry sky, his heart full of anxiety and confusion. The small and poor Changzhou City had already taken root in the heart of this little beggar. The nearby poor mountains and rivers had already formed all of Zhou Gan. Zhou Gan didn't know what the outside world was like, but he had a little expectation and a little fear of it.
"Jiangnan, it's a good place!" Zhou Gan covered his quilt and went to bed.
The next day, Zhou Gan, Jie Chen and the host came to farewell, but for some reason, the two young monks Jie Nu and Jie Se have not seen each other for half a year. It is said that they were traveling around with a master uncle. Zhou Gan entrusted Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei to take care of Jie Chen. As for the farewell, the bald man in the ancient capital had already said goodbye two months ago and returned to the grassland.
Zhou Gan walked slowly on the street, and everyone and everything were so friendly. Occasionally, regular customers from the noodle stall greeted him. This was his past life and what would his future life be like - God knows.
Two months later—
Tongtian River is a tributary of the Datuo River and one of the four major water veins in the Central Plains. It flows downstream and turns seven branched water flows, passing through Taiyuan, Quanzhou, Bianzhou, Qinhuai, and Qiantang; then it reaches the Luodu, the capital of this dynasty.
At this time, Qiantang River was in the tide season, with turbulent flows and waterfalls all over the sky, and the splashing waves were five or six feet high. A small boat was dangerously avoiding an undercurrent. It had to stop at the shore and walked out of the old and three young people, which was Zhou Xun's four people.
Zhou Xun took the three of them to Luodu on the waterway, and the scenery along the way. Only then did the three of them truly see this world of flowery flowers. Taiyuan was high mountains and ridges, Quanzhou was competing for the current, and the ten-mile streets of Bianzhou were full of flowers like brocades. Qinhuai monuments were magnificent. The three ghosts along the way had six eyes and wanted to use them as twelve. It was considered to have gained knowledge. The three of them went south and were going to cross the Qiantang River directly to reach Luodu. Who would have thought that the tide that was originally in August would rise early. The four of them had no choice but to go ashore to stay in Qiantang County for a few days and wait for the tide to go to Luodu.
The four of them went to Qiantang County to find an inn and ordered food to settle down.
"God's will has been unpredictable since ancient times, but no one knows the fate is slim." Zhou Xun looked out the window with heavy rain and suddenly sighed.
"I don't know how many days this rain will fall! It will be broken if it delays the trip of senior!" Wang Hu said worriedly.
"If you really can't do it, just take the land route. In short, you must arrive before August 20th, otherwise my old friends will be anxious." Zhou Xun chuckled. Wang Hu was steady and mature, and he helped a lot along the way. Zhou Xun was a little more happy with him, and it was not all about loving the house and the wuwu.
"Look at the third brother! Another big wave is coming, rolling down a cow on the shore!" Li Sanshan shouted at the Qiantang tide outside the window.
"Oh? Where is it?" Zhou Gan's eyes shone.
"These two boys are heartless!" Zhou Xun smiled bitterly.
"Master, the dish you ordered is here!" The waiter served the dishes and said again: "Listen to my advice, this land route is not acceptable!"
Zhou Xun was stunned when he heard this and said, "Why?"
"Since the end of last year, a group of horse bandits came on the official road. They were ruthless in their means, not only robbed property, but also killed people to silence them. The court sent a large army to suppress them three or four times but failed to wipe them out. It is said that all the martial arts masters at the Six Gates suffered a great loss. If you want to leave, just go by the water!" The waiter said earnestly, "Didn't you see that the people living in our inn are all merchants coming and going! They are all waiting for the tide to pass!"
"Thank you, my second brother!" Zhou Xun nodded and threw a silver slot.
"Hey! Thank you for yourselves!" The waiter stepped down happily.
"Is the Ma bandit? This is a trouble!" Zhou Xun closed his eyes and pondered.
Just then, there was a quarrel at the table opposite.
"Second brother, what are you afraid of? Are our Wang family afraid of those bandits? We must rush back in time for the 80th birthday of the old man! Besides, it is our duty to be a hero in the martial arts world." The person who spoke was a girl in yellow, with a sweet voice like an oriole, a sweet look, and a rosy mouth like a cherry.
"It's not that second brother is afraid! But there are about one or two hundred horse bandits. Even if you and I add Uncle Hu and Brother Huang, how much can it be used? Haven't you heard that the masters of the Six Gates suffered a loss! There must be masters hidden among the horse bandits!" A handsome man with a long sword hanging on his waist said helplessly.
"Yes, Miss Fifth, let's wait for the tide to go over and walk on the water! If you have something, I, Huang Ming, can't afford it!" The man named Huang Ming advised.
"Why are you men who have no backbone at all? You don't go! OK! I'll go by myself!" After saying that, he slapped the table and ran out angrily in his barbarian boots.
"Brother Huang, come back to me immediately! It's simply a mess!" The woman's second brother shouted.
"Yes, Master!"
