Cutting off the head of a stone lion with one sword requires a sharp sword and strong wrist strength. But before anyone saw him draw the sword, the stone lion's head had already fallen to the ground. How fast was this young man's move?
If he wanted to chop off other people's heads, it would be even easier. Who has a harder neck than a stone lion?
At least Ge Tong and the Ge family servants standing at the door definitely didn't.
At this time, the young man in yellow had already walked in front of them, glanced at them sideways, and said coldly:
"Go in and report that the young master of the 'Evil Dog Gate' is visiting 'Gejiabao'!"
Hearing these words, Ge Tong suddenly remembered that the familiar young man in white was the young Master Hua who bought the "evil dog gate" of the Sun family's old house a month ago. Even the two maids he knew
They recognized that one was the little maid who went to Sun's house to look at the house with the young master that day, and the other was Sun Qiaoyun, the eldest lady of the Sun family!
The day before yesterday, in the hot spring pool of "Purple Dragon Villa", Hua Bushi listened to Jie Huayu and said that "Gejiabao" might have authentic Zen inner strength and mental methods, so he decided to "visit" this place that dominates the west of Changsha Prefecture.
A wealthy family in the suburbs.
The strength of a sect and the combat prowess of ordinary disciples are important, but the top masters are even more indispensable, and can often play a decisive role in wars. The only top master in the "Evil Dog Sect" is the sect leader Hua Hua.
Tianxiong and Ershu Hua Dihu are not in Changsha at the moment. Yang Jiangyi practiced sword practice in seclusion for several months, and his martial arts improved greatly, but compared with the real top masters, he was still far behind.
According to the classification standards for masters in the "Book of Knowledge" written by Patriarch Dog Saint, Yang Jiangyi can only be classified as a fourth-grade master at this time, and her extraordinary talent in martial arts has not yet been fully utilized.
This is because although the "Defense Sword Technique of Suppressing Demons" she practices is strong, it does not have the corresponding inner strength and mental methods to match it. The internal strength and mental methods of the Huashan School are also unique in martial arts, but they do not come from the Zen sect. The true energy is in the various meridians in the body.
The way it operates is different from the Zen mental method. Therefore, some moves in the Demon Subduing Sword Art cannot exert their maximum power due to the obstruction of the flow of true energy.
In order for Yang Jiangyi's swordsmanship to advance further, she must learn a Zen mind method and master the movement of true energy in Zen internal skills.
As Jie Huayu said at the beginning, the authentic Zen mentality has not been spread in the world, and there is little hope of buying it with money. However, since it is possible to have this "Gejiabao", Hua Bushi will certainly not let it go.
.
If he couldn't get it at the Ge family, Hua Bushi had no choice but to set his sights on the "Wanyi Conference" to be held in Hubei in half a year. In any case, he was determined to obtain the inner strength and mental methods of Zen Buddhism.
This time when he came to "Gejiabao", he only brought four apprentices, Yu Qianli, Zhu Hong, Li Hu and Bai Yiling, as well as the newly purchased "slave" Sun Qiaoyun. Yang Jiangyi stayed in the sub-rudder to teach
The newly recruited disciple "Qingyun Sword Technique", and Ximen Tong were sent to Changsha City to handle matters.
Although "Gejiabao" is a local hegemon, it is not considered strong in Hua Bushi's eyes. It is enough to have the "Four Little" following it.
At this moment, he was smiling and looking up at the majestic bluestone fortress in front of him. In his opinion, although the castle was tall, its defense was not very good. Building the fortress near the water was a taboo.
The people who built the fort were too obsessed with beauty. The arrow towers everywhere were built too high and their positions were unreasonable. If it was really attacked, it would not be able to play much role.
A fortress is like a tortoise shell. Of course, the taller and majestic it is, the better. This "Ge Family Fort" is obviously built in a flashy and superficial way. It seems that the Ge family can dominate the western suburbs of Changsha for decades without falling.
The main thing to rely on is the support of the "Hengshan Sect", otherwise it would have been annexed and eradicated by other Jianghu sects.
The servants of the Ge Mansion ran into the gate to report the news. Not long after, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walked out of the door with four or five people.
This middle-aged man is tall and tall, with a face as pale as gold, a short beard on his chin, and fierce eyes. He walks steadily and vigorously, and he obviously has good kung fu. In addition to a few servants following him, there are also
There is the great steward Ge Wanjin.
The middle-aged man came to the door and glanced at the two broken stone lions. His face became even more gloomy. He stopped at Hua Bushi and said with cupped hands:
"My dear Ge Canglong from 'Gejiabao' has long admired the name 'Evil Dog Clan'. This is Mr. Hua!"
Hua Bushi smiled and said politely: "Xiao Ke, Hua Bu Shi, has met the eldest master of the Ge family. Xiao Ke has been in Changsha for more than a month, but because of the busy schedule of the family, he has never taken the time to visit the 'Ge Family Fort'."
Dear heroes, you really shouldn’t have taken the liberty to visit us until today, I hope Mr. Ge won’t take offense!”
He behaved politely and spoke very politely, as if he really came to see him because he admired the name "Gejiabao".
Ge Canglong just listened to the report from the servant outside the door. The people from the "Evil Dog Gate" came with bad intentions. When he walked out of the gate, he saw the appearance of the two stone lions. They must be the ones they want to give to "Ge Family Fort".
He showed off his power, thinking that he would start a fight if he disagreed, but he didn't expect that this young master from Huada was very polite as soon as he opened his mouth. It seemed that there was no hostility on this trip and he was just here to make friends.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. The other party was so friendly that Ge Canglong couldn't deny it at all, so he said: "It's easy to talk to! It's an honor for 'Gejiabao' that Mr. Hua comes to visit, and he is invited to the living room in the fort."
Drink tea."
He turned his face and whispered instructions to Ge Wanjin behind him, and Butler Ge ran into the door and was ready to go.
Hua Bushi said: "Master Ge kindly invites you. Xiao Ke is respectful and it is better to obey."
Now Ge Canglong led the way, Hua Bushi and others followed and walked into the gate of the castle.
"Gejiabao" has a majestic appearance and is even more luxurious inside. After entering the gate, there is a bluestone avenue, which is much wider than the official road outside the fort. After walking along the avenue for sixty or seventy feet, you can see the lobby.
The lobby is ten feet high and is also made of large bluestones. The exterior is polished very brightly. Walking into it, you will find a spacious and bright hall. The tables, chairs and furniture in the hall are all made of rosewood, with dragons and phoenixes carved on them.
, quite exquisite. This hall is not like the halls of ordinary wealthy people, where vases, antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other decorative objects are placed. Instead, there are two rows of weapon racks in the corner, and there are dozens of hangings on the walls.
Swords and weapons of different shapes.
In the center of the hall, on the wall facing the door, is a large Chinese character "ge" in gold-engraved seal script, with a dragon and a snake, teeth and claws, which is extremely conspicuous.
Although people in the martial arts world are good at martial arts, most of the sects and aristocratic families will not place swords and weapons in the living room. This is a place to receive guests, and it is not a place to practice martial arts. Put the weapons in front of the guests.
It makes people feel uncomfortable and makes them feel that the host is domineering, tyrannical and rude.
The "Ge Family Fort" didn't care about this. Not only were the halls filled with all kinds of weapons, many of them were unsheathed swords. They originally wanted to show outsiders how fierce and domineering the Ge family was, so they came to this hall anyway.
The guests inside were intimidated by the power of the Ge family and did not dare to do anything even if they felt unhappy.
There were already three people sitting in the hall. When they saw Hua Bushi and others coming in, they did not get up to greet them. They still sat motionless on the sandalwood chairs.
Hua Bushi walked into the living room, glanced at the weapons and blades on the four walls, and then looked at the three people sitting in the hall. He didn't make any move, and even the smile on his face remained the same.
Ge Canglong introduced Hua Bushi. These three people were the second master, the third master and the fourth master of the Ge family.
The old man Ge Gangyu, the head of the "Gejiabao" family, has four sons, Ge Canglong, Ge Chihu, Ge Qingbao and Ge Baixiong. They are all famous masters in Changsha Prefecture, and they are collectively known as the "Four King Kong".
Ge Chihu has a curly beard, a ferocious appearance, and thick limbs. He is much taller and burlier than his brother Ge Canglong.
Ge Qingbao is much thinner, short and lean, with moving eyes and very flexible.
Ge Baixiong, on the other hand, looks like a wealthy country gentleman, with a big belly, a mustache, and dozens of kilograms of meat on his face alone. He does not look like a bear at all, but more like a pig.
When Ge Canglong introduced the names of the three brothers to Hua Bushi, these people just sat on their chairs and cupped their hands slightly, without standing up, and their faces were full of arrogance, which looked very rude.
However, Hua Bushi bowed his head and bowed in greeting one by one. He was extremely polite and not angry at all.
After meeting the three great gentlemen, Hua Bushi sat down in the guest seats, while Yu Qianli and others stood behind him.
Ge Canglong said: "Master Hua came to 'Gejiabao' today. I don't know if I have anything to do with my brother. Please tell me."
Before Hua Bushi could answer, the young man in yellow with disheveled hair and a broad sword in his belt snorted coldly and said: "What can our boss do to you four animals? Call your master Ge Gang quickly.
Come out and see me!"
This young man in yellow is naturally Li Hu. He is not a very good-tempered person to begin with. When he entered this hall and saw the weapons in the room, he was already unhappy. Then when he saw the arrogant demeanor of the Ge family masters, he immediately became angry.
Unable to bear it any longer, he verbally scolded him. In terms of being fierce and domineering, brave and fierce, who can compare to his "mad dog" Li Hu?
The faces of the four masters of the Ge family all changed color.
This young Huada was always polite when he entered the house, but who would have expected that his subordinates would be so rude. Not only did he call them "animals", but he also told the owner of the house to "get out".
Ge Canglong looked angry and said in a deep voice: "Master Hua, what is the reason for your subordinates to speak arrogantly and insult us?"
Hua Bushi still smiled and said leisurely: "He is my disciple Li Hu. He has admired Mr. Ge for a long time. It is understandable that he is eager to meet him."
Upon hearing this, the four masters of the Ge family were even more angry. Not only did the young master Hua not discipline his disciples, he also spoke in a slow and leisurely manner, as if all this was a matter of course.
