There was silence for a while on the high wall, and after a while, a voice came out: "Are you Ximen Tong from the 'Five Evil Dogs'?"
The sound of these words was like a loud bell, reaching the ears of everyone waiting on the road, making people feel like their ears were buzzing. It was obvious that the person asking the question had also exercised his true energy to speak like this, and it can be seen from the sound
, this person must have very strong internal energy. However, the courtyard wall of "Tieshui Villa" is five feet long, and the arrow stacks on the wall are also four or five feet high. This person stood among the villagers behind the arrow stacks, and from
Looking under the wall, only half of his head was exposed. He was taller and burlier than the other Zhuang Xis around him, but he couldn't tell what he looked like.
Ximen Tong replied: "I am Ximen Tong, but I am no longer a disciple of the 'Evil Dog Sect'."
The voice on the high wall asked again: "What are you doing here?"
Ximen Tong said: "I want to marry Miss Lu family, and I came here to propose marriage to Mr. Lu, the head of your family."
The person on the courtyard wall laughed "haha". He used his inner strength to speak, and his voice was already very loud. When he laughed, the sound was even more harsh, making people feel deafening and unbearable. Shopkeeper Chen, Sangu Wang and others all used their hands
They covered their ears with a pained expression on their faces.
At this time, all I could hear was Ximen Tong saying loudly: "I came here to propose marriage, what's so funny about it?"
Although his words were not very loud, they were clear and melodious. They immediately suppressed the laughter of the man on the courtyard wall. Everyone felt a light touch in their ears, and the harsh laughter suddenly stopped.
At this moment, Ximen Tong and the master of the "Nine Immortals Society" on the courtyard wall had already competed with each other in terms of internal strength with their words.
Ximen Tong is extremely talented in martial arts, and he has practiced very hard for many years. Although his internal strength is not as good as that of an old monster like Chi Huameng, he is by no means a weakling. The master on the wall of the courtyard just now used his internal strength to laugh, and the sound was certainly strong.
, but it was difficult to last, and Ximen Tong first made the other party laugh a few times, and after almost all the energy was consumed, he suddenly spoke back, suppressing the other party's laughter immediately, and gained the upper hand.
His martial arts skills are based on his ingenuity and he is good at leveraging strength to fight. This strategy of taking advantage of the opportunity to counterattack when the opponent's strength is exhausted is his specialty.
The man on the wall of the courtyard was relying on his strong internal strength and wanted to knock down everyone on the road with his laughter and give Ximen Tong a disgrace, but now his laughter was suddenly suppressed by others, and he opened his mouth wide.
I couldn't make a sound, my true energy was surging but I couldn't lift it up. I just felt like I had been punched hard in my chest, and I was just about to vomit blood!
Moreover, Ximen Tong's internal strength was not really higher than his, but he was just opportunistic and won, at least that's what he thought. Such a humiliating defeat made him feel particularly unwilling, and he was so angry that he flew into a rage!
After a long while, he straightened out the energy in his body, finally recovered, and cursed loudly: "You stinky boy, you dare to plot against your grandpa Lu Gang, I really don't want to live anymore!"
However, Ximen Tong calmly said, "Are you Lu Gang, the steward of Tieshui Villa? I just came to the mansion today to propose marriage, and I also asked steward Lu to come in and inform Ximen Tong."
Na Lu Gang said angrily: "You, a boy who was expelled from the sect, still want to marry the eldest daughter of our family. You are just trying to eat swan meat! Come here, shoot me an arrow and shoot all these people to death!"
"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers on the high wall bent their bows and nocked arrows, and dozens of sharp arrows were aimed at the people under the wall. Shopkeeper Li was already frightened. He felt that his feet were weak, and he knelt down to beg for mercy.
Aunt Wang simply collapsed to the ground and burst into tears. As for the ten drummers and the eight bearers carrying the bride price, several of them turned around and thought of running away, but they didn't dare.
At this time, everyone was only about ten feet away from the village wall. If the village man on the wall opened his bow and fired arrows, they would not be able to run away even if they wanted to. They would still be hit by random arrows, and they would die faster.
But at this moment, a distant voice could be heard on the courtyard wall: "Wait a minute, don't shoot the arrow yet. Head Lu has an order for Mr. Ximen to come into the village to speak!"
Ximen Tong followed the sound and saw a man in white appearing on the top of the high wall. This man was thin, but very tall, like a thin bamboo pole. Lu Gang was also tall, and he was tall.
Compared with this man, he is still a head shorter. The man in white stands among the villagers, as if he stands out from the crowd, very conspicuous, but on his head and face is a felt hat, a cage.
Wearing a long veil, no one can see his face.
As soon as the steward Lu Gang saw this person, he immediately bowed and saluted and said: "I pay my respects to Master Wu! What's your instruction? Master Wu only needs to tell his servants to pass the message, why do you need to come in person?"
Lu Gang was originally the housekeeper of "Tieshui Villa", and his status in the sect was already high. However, when he saw the man in white, he had a respectful attitude and treated himself as a subordinate. Obviously, this man must have a very good background. Ximen Tong had heard from Hua Bushi before
It has been said that the old demon Wusheng has six direct disciples, known as the "Six Absolutes of Wusheng". Zhuo Yiwen is the youngest disciple "Shuang Ji", and just now Lu Gang called the white-clothed man "Master Wu", so he guessed
This person must be the fifth "Mist Shadow" among the "Six Absolutes of No Life".
The man in white said: "I heard that Ximen Tong is very beautiful, like a big girl, and even my junior sister is quite attracted to him, so I came here to take a look!"
He turned to look down from between the arrows, but suddenly shouted: "That woman, shut up, if you scream again I will cut off your tongue!"
This was said to Third Aunt Wang. Just after hearing Lu Gang's order to shoot arrows on the wall, Third Aunt Wang sat down on the ground, opened her throat and started to cry. She was born with a loud voice, and this howl was even louder than before.
The laughter made by Lu Gang using his inner strength was twice as harsh and unbearable. At this time, hearing the shouts of the man in white, "Wu Ying", Wang Sangu immediately stopped talking and did not dare to utter another sound.
The scream was cut off immediately as if someone had cut it with scissors. Although this third aunt Wang was fierce, her reactions were quick and she was very aware of current affairs.
"Wisty Shadow" looked at the high wall for a moment. Originally, because of the veil, he couldn't see his eyes, but Ximen Tong could clearly feel a cold gaze passing by, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
, knowing that this man in white is definitely not an ordinary person. After practicing martial arts to a certain level, he will be aware of the dangers in the outside world. This glance from the man in white has already made Ximen Tong feel a cold murderous intention.
There was only a sound of chains, and the suspension bridge, which was more than ten feet long and about ten feet wide, was lowered and placed on the Huzhuang River. The two wooden village doors opened with a creak, and four villagers came out.
Ding, there is also a big man in rich clothes, but it is none other than the manager Lu Gang.
Just now, Lu Gang was standing on top of the high wall and couldn't see his face clearly. Now when he went down to the outside of the wall, he saw that he was a strong man over six feet tall, with a ferocious appearance and a clean shaven beard.
, showing a rough face.
Lu Gang and the four villagers left the village gate, but did not walk across the suspension bridge, but stood by the river protecting the village.
All I could hear was Lu Gang said: "Ximen Tong, Master Lu has an order for you to come into the village to see him, so just come in!"
Ximen Tong nodded and said to the porters and musicians behind him: "Let's go in together!"
Shopkeeper Li secretly complained in his heart that there were many evil people in this "Tie Shui Villa" and he almost shot them to death with an arrow just now. Once they entered the villa, Ximen Tong would not be able to protect them and he would probably die inside.
Fortunately, at this time, Na Lu Gang suddenly shouted: "Everyone, stop! Ximen Tong, the leader asked you to come into the village to see him, but he did not let these many people enter the village. These idle people are staying here for me, and they are not allowed to enter."
!”
Ximen Tong said: "I am coming to your village to propose marriage. These people are accompanying everyone with honors. How can we not enter the village together?"
Lu Gang said: "You bring so many people into the village, who knows if there are any assassins among them. To prevent you from having bad intentions, they are not allowed to come in. Who cares whether you propose marriage or not!"
Ximen Tong gave a light "hum" and said: "You people in the devil's path like to commit assassinations. Do you think that others are as despicable and shameless as you, leading assassins around all day long?"
Lu Gang was furious and said: "Well, you have a surname named Ximen, and you speak rudely. Do you think we, the Nine Immortals Association, dare not kill you?"
Ximen Tong's beautiful eyes froze, and she looked at Lu Gang and said, "Ximen Tong is just here to propose marriage today, and doesn't want to fight with you. But if you want to kill me, you can come here and try."
Lu Gang clenched his fists and was about to step forward, but he heard the long and leisurely voice of the man in white "Wu Ying" on the high wall: "Steward Lu, wait a moment."
The status of "Wu Ying" was obviously higher than that of Lu Gang. As soon as he spoke, Lu Gang stopped immediately, but heard "Wu Ying" say again: "Ximen Tong, since you said you are here to propose marriage, you want to marry the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
, Lu Gang can be regarded as a member of the Lu family, but your attitude towards him is so arrogant, don’t you know the etiquette of asking for marriage? "
After Ximen Tong heard this, the expression on his face calmed down. He clasped his fists on his chest and said, "I mean no disrespect. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me, Butler Lu. These drummers and matchmakers, Lu
It's fine if the housekeeper doesn't let them enter the village, but if the Lu family doesn't accept the two boxes of betrothal gifts, which are inconsistent with the marriage proposal, I ask housekeeper Lu to be accommodating."
Lu Gang raised his eyebrows and said, "You said something rude, so why don't you just apologize for it? If you really want to propose marriage, then come over and kneel down in front of Uncle Lu to apologize. Maybe I can stop caring about it and let you and I
Bring those two boxes of betrothal gifts to the village!"
He grinned "hehe" and said: "If you don't want to, get away immediately and don't come to 'Tieshui Villa' again to make trouble!"
Ximen Tong glared at Lu Gang and was speechless for a moment.
The man in white "Wu Ying" said: "Ximen Tong, although Master Lu wanted to summon you, you verbally abused and had an arrogant attitude. If you don't apologize, Lu Gang, as the steward of Tieshui Villa, has the right not to let you in."
