Chapter 3 Chapter Three, Ghost

So they set off at night. Target: Sword House. Purpose: to save or kill. If there are Huanhua children, save them; if you see the power to help the crowd, kill them. Either you die, or I die. This is the rule of martial arts. It is also the sorrow of the Jianghu people. Xiao Qiushui never obeyed that rule. He is not from the rivers and lakes, and he does not even admit that he is from the martial arts. He is just a poet, a poet who writes poems in life and love. But when he suddenly had nothing, no brothers, no friends, no family members, no children, then he suddenly changed. He became like a quack, calm.

Helpless, but ruthless! He became like a martial artist, murderous, bloodthirsty, and ruthless! He forced himself to change, and only by changing can he live. And to take revenge. Can he change? From the first battle in Kowloon Benjiang to the re-entering Chengdu Huanhua, he has indeed changed a lot. The people around him have changed a lot. The west head of Huanhuaxi River is owned by Bulin Tangyou. Du Fu’s Thatched Cottage by the Huanhua River seems to be able to hear his chants: He went through hardships all his life and traveled all over Kyushu with hunger. Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, was captured again and again in the Battle of Anshi. When I arrived at Chengdu, Sichuan, by the Huanhua River, I was able to relax and sing: the orange forest obstructs the sun and the wind leaves, the cage bamboo and the smoke drops and dew tips.

The autumn scenery of thatched cottage is like poetry and picturesque. Xiao Qiushui, Du Yueshan, Qu Jianchi, Gushen Zen Master, Qu Mushuang, Qu Minhua and a group of six people quickly passed through Baihuatan at dusk; Arrived at Jianlu. The Sword Cottage is Xiao Qiushui's former residence. He liked to travel when he was young, famous mountains and great rivers, flying around everywhere, but the most memorable thing is the place he has never stayed in for a long time. The riverside with floating leaves, the waterside shaded by willows, the little beauties who sway the stream, the children playing on the riverbank, the scenery and human feelings of chickens and dogs

However, there is no one in Huanhuaxi today. Not even animals. Things are different. Could it be that the place where the power gang walked is really a chicken and a dog? Xiao Qiushui once broke out of the siege here and went to ask for reinforcements. He left vowing to return. Now that he is back, he has to fight a new bloody path before he can enter. July fourteenth. Even a lonely ghost should return to the world. On this night when the moon was gloomy and the night was blurry, Xiao Qiushui returned to the place where he was born, according to the faint flowing water of Huanhua Creek.

There were six of them in a group, all of them were high in lightness kung fu, they stepped on the ground without leaving a sound, and they flew by without disturbing a fallen leaf. Master Gu Shen was originally an eminent monk in Shaolin. Although the masters of Shaolin Temple focus on actual combat and seldom practice light kung fu, the foundation of Shaolin disciples has always been the best. When Gu Shen was young, he already carried iron buckets full of water up and down the stone steps of Shaolin, no less than a hundred times a day. I am afraid that few people can match the hard work he has done.

Du Yueshan's Mengjiang swordsmanship can only be used by people with good agility. Qu Jianchi's swordsmanship follows the ancient way, but he only learned sword at the age of thirty, and he is one of the few examples who became a monk halfway and successfully learned sword; before the age of thirty, he was a master of light kung fu of the Xigu Tomb Sect. Xiao Qiushui's Huanhua swordsmanship also focuses on lightness, and now that he has boundless inner strength, and with the guidance of Liang Dou and Du Yueshan, who are good at lightness kung fu, he is as quick as a shooting star with just a light breath, which makes Qu Jianchi very shocked stunned.

Of course Qu Mushuang and Min Bian are not as good as the four of them, but besides learning swords from their father, these two sisters also learn from Baili Hanting, Qianli Gumei, and Wanli Pingyuan, who are ranked second among the three major light kung fu masters in the world today. Qianli Gumei in the movie has learned the technique of lightness kung fu. So there is no problem with their lightness skills. Now they walk faster. Because they dare not walk behind. Because they feel someone blowing on the back of their neck. The air is cold, and a bunch of bumps have exploded on the back of their necks.

And they also saw the moon. three moons. The mist is thick and the moon is hazy. Mushuang and Minba saw three moons at this moment. One is in the sky and the other is in the moon pool. What about another one? Qu Mushuang let out a shriek, and Qu Minba was more courageous, but once his feet were soft, he couldn't use lightness kung fu. At this time, they were approaching the Xiao Family Sword House, and Zen Master Gu Shen and others were all on alert. When Qu Mushuang called out, the four of them stopped immediately, and almost at the same time, they arrived at the side of the Qu Family sisters.

Zen Master Gu Shen was going straight forward, stopped suddenly, and then seemed to be galloping forward, and then retreated to the back: beside the Qu family sisters. Du Yueshan made a somersault, suddenly turned over while flying forward, and also reached the side of the Qu family sisters. Qu Jianchi suddenly turned around. His swordsmanship was originally sent out while spinning. The Shuyu Divine Sword was originally a combination of the Sprinkling Jade Sword Technique, Cloak Sword Technique, Crazy Demon Sword Technique, and Whirlwind Sword Technique. Like a tornado, he rolled to the side of the Qu family sisters.

Xiao Qiushui was even more sudden. He suddenly heard Qu Mushuang's cry. He suddenly arrived at the side of the Qu family sisters. His inner strength made even Gu Shen, who had profound inner strength, look sideways at him. The four of them, divided into four directions, east, south, west, and north, surrounded and protected the Qu family sisters. Then Qu Jianchi asked: What's the matter? ! Qu Mushuang said in horror: Look at the moon Qu Minba boldly said: There are three moons. There really are three moons. Xiao Qiushui laughed. Of course, he is the most familiar with the Huanhuaxi area.

Because there are two ponds. The Wantang is over there, and the Autumn Pond is here. When the moon shines across the arch bridge, there are usually three, or even more than three moons. Everyone thought it was funny, but there was some resentment. A bold person usually reprimands a cowardly and ghost-fearing person, but in fact it also satisfies his sense of heroism. He even deliberately made some ghostly sounds to scare people, making the timid admire his boldness even more. Fortunately, Xiao Qiushui and others are not that kind of people. The younger sisters of the Qu family were very embarrassed, and Qu Min was trying to explain something coyly, when Qu Mushuang let out another heart-pounding scream. All four of them changed their faces. I saw Qu Mushuang's face was completely white, her eyes had become horrified, she grabbed herself with both hands, unable to make a sound: there is something in that pool. The four of them suddenly turned around, their eyes were dazzled, the dew was heavy, the river pond was like a mysterious ghost town, there was no one there. However, Qu Mushuang still said tremblingly: there are ghosts in the river. Everyone looked at it, but there was still nothing in the river pond. Qu Minba supported her, and really wanted to smooth things over for her. She stared longingly, and explained helplessly: My sister, I have always been courageous. Then there was a cry. The cry was made by Qu Minba. Her face was completely pale, even paler than Qu Mushuang, so pale that there was no blood. I only heard her shrill trembling voice: ghosts have ghosts The four of them looked back, and Qu Mingba's voice continued: There really are ghosts and water ghosts Then they really saw the water ghost. Not ghosts, but people. People float out of the water. The man's face was buried in the water, and his back was covered with duckweed and water plants. The moon shone on the man's back like it shone on a wall covered in vines. Qu Minba couldn't help but exclaim again. She is actually no more courageous than her shy older sister. At this moment, two figures flashed. The people in the water were picked up wetly and put on the shore. Du Yueshan and Qu Jianchi's clothes were not wet at all. People are dead. The dead man died in an ugly way, his eyes were all turned white, his whole body was swollen, and his tongue protruded: more than four inches. Gu Shen couldn't help but let out a cry. Qu Jianchi suddenly raised his head, his gaze was like the edge of a sword, the edge of the sword was out of the sheath: Master recognizes him? Gu Shen brushed the water plants off the dead man's head with his hands, it turned out that the dead man had no hair. Master Gu Shen showed a thoughtful expression. I recognize him.He is a monk.Gu Shen's expression was indescribably strange: he was not only a monk, but also a monk from Southern Shaolin. Zen Master Gu Shen continued with an unbelievable expression: Although Fujian Shaolin is not as grand and magnificent as Songshan Shaolin, it is also a master of Jiangnan martial arts.Master Monk, the head of the Southern Sect, learned that martial arts is no longer under the head of the Northern Sect, and the general rules of the Southern Sect are all based on the Northern Shaolin Sect. Northern Shaolin was originally founded by Bodhidharma when he crossed from the east to the south, and has a long history, while Southern Shaolin was originally a branch of the Northern School. Gu Shen pondered and said again: In addition to the master monk, there are two elders in Southern Shaolin, both of whom are very skilled in martial arts; as for contacting and dealing with affairs outside, two eminent Shaolin monks are in charge, one is called Gouwei, the other The bit is called the continued mink. Although Shaolin monks are outsiders and do not care about the world, they are also human beings. They also need money to expand the monastery, and they also need to sell the cultivated fruits and vegetables to feed hundreds of monks in the monastery. The two masters, Gouwei and Xu Diao, although their names are very interesting, but when the martial arts people hear it, especially those in the underworld, it can be said that they are famous. These two monks are undoubtedly the two people sent by Shaolin to uphold justice in the martial arts. Once the Liurong Temple in Guangdong was occupied by Shandong thieves, and the monks in the temple died or fled. Fujian Shaolin immediately sent them two, and then the Shandong thieves stopped making a sound. Shandong Bandit is not a single person, but an organization of thirty-six people. They occupied Liurong Temple in order to use it as a base to do some big business. They thought they would borrow it and leave, but who knew that the two masters, Gouwei and Xu Diao, had already arrived at Liurong before they left. The monks are merciful, this sentence seems to have never been heard by Master Gouwei and Master Xu Diao. Thirty-six people, not a single one was alive. It was later rumored in the world that these two masters, Gouwei and Xu Diao, were originally Dharma protectors in the Shaolin Temple at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. Those who can be Dharma protectors must be those trained in the Shaolin Discipline Academy and the Dharma Hall. Those who can come out of these two extremely strict places must be the essence of the Shaolin lineage. It's just that these two masters killed so many people that even the abbot of Shaolin had no choice but to build a small temple for them to live at the foot of the mountain and not allow them to come up the mountain. But now Zen Master Gu Shen said: This dead man is Master Xu Diao of Shaolin Temple in Fujian. Xiao Qiushui stood up involuntarily, the three moons seemed to be the eyes of night elves, infinitely mysterious and terrifying. Just then, he saw another pair of eyes. A pair of eyes of horror, hatred, fear, and death. It is impossible for a living person to have such a pair of inhuman eyes. Fog filled the air, and a person staggered and staggered down the arch bridge. He choked himself and almost fell into the river a few times. Suddenly there were ripples on the surface of the water, and it turned out that it was Qu Mushuang and Qu Minmao, copying the water like swallows. Since they know that they are human beings, and they are from the Shaolin sect, they are not afraid. Some people are only afraid of ghosts but not people. They seem to be afraid of the unknown, not the known. It's a pity that they don't know talent is the hardest thing to know. When they moved over and supported him, they immediately realized that he was also a monk. They looked back and saw that the eyes of the ancient Zen master were full of sadness, and he nodded and said: He is a dog tail. Master Kouwei died, his throat still rattling. When the sisters of the Qu family supported him, his eyes rolled up, and the whites of his eyes were like dead fish. Did he choke himself with his own hands? Qu Jianchi flew over like lightning and pulled his hand away. Qu Jianchi only has four fingers, but the hands of the Qu family sisters, which cannot be opened with twenty fingers, can be opened at the touch of him. The red marks of ten fingers were deeply embedded in Master Dog's Tail's neck. Did he really kill himself? Qu Jianchi couldn't help but feel a chill under his feet, which rose straight up, and he asked loudly: "Who killed you?" The dog-tailed master has died, but the people are not all dead. His sizzling throat sounds like a rooster whose neck has been cut off and is still alive in this moonlit night. It makes people's teeth sore. Gouwei only said one word. After he finished speaking the word, he fell down and died. The last word in his life is: Ghost!
