Chapter 382 Unparalleled Spectrum (5)

Stepping into Baili Mountain Villa again, the eyes are full of desolation.

In fact, except for the day when Baili Yiru became a teacher, Baili Mountain Villa has been in depression for 20 years.

There are only Baili Shibu couple and three old servants in Nuo Da's villa.

The absence of Baili Ruyu made Yan Ruyu worry.

"No one will accept him as a disciple again." Baili Shibu sighed.

Being rejected by Yan Ruyu, who was ranked fourth in Wushuangpu, has already declared that this young man has poor qualifications and cannot be cultivated.

Who would accept such a disciple?
"Then... where did he go?" Yan Ruyu asked carefully, for fear of hearing any bad news.

"Go with a blacksmith and learn how to forge a sword."

"I'm sorry." Yan Ruyu lowered her head, not knowing what else to say.

"No, you're just telling the truth, you don't owe my Baili family anything."

There was no emotion on Baili Shibu's face. After saying this, he stretched out his hand and was about to close the door - the gate of Baili Villa.

"Wait," Yan Ruyu said urgently: "I'm here to be a teacher, please teach me swordsmanship... or a way! I want to defeat Tongyoumen!"

Yan Ruyu's face flushed red.

Two days ago, the people who were trying to recruit disciples came back in a state of distress like a drowned chicken. If it weren't for the support of Wu Cuo's sword in his hand, Yan Ruyu would have fainted.

It took all his courage to say this.

Baili Shibudao: "Tongpylorus has disappeared."

Yan Ruyu said: "Resurrection."

There seemed to be some kind of emotion in Baili Shibu's silent eyes, "Why do you want to defeat them?"

"My friend was taken away by them, I want to save him."

Baili Shibu asked: "I can teach you, but it's not for nothing. What do you use to pay for the tuition?"

Yan Ruyu touched the money bag in his clothes, but he didn't take it out. The money bag was too thin, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Although I have no money, I have strength and kung fu. As long as you are willing to teach me, I will ..."

"It happens that there is something that needs your strength." Baili Shibu interrupted him, opened a portrait and said, "Go to Hangzhou, find this person, and kill him."

The portrait is of a young man, very handsome, with a kind of nobility unique to a rich man in his brows.

"If you kill him, you will teach me?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"Kill him, and I will teach you, and I will guarantee that you will defeat the pylorus and save your friend."

Yan Ruyu bit her lip and took the portrait. Who was in the portrait?Good guy or bad guy?Why did Baili Shibu want to kill him?He didn't want to know at all, all he knew was that that person was going to die.

Hangzhou, on the shore of West Lake.

The first crop of grass buds in early spring is so tender that wild dogs can't help but jump in and roll hard.

Although it is not the fattest time for carp, it does not have the feeling of having survived the cold winter. For those who really know how to eat, this is a good time to eat West Lake vinegar fish.

Yan Ruyu has no such interest.

Moreover, the copper money in his pocket did not allow him to enjoy it like this.

His money is only enough to stay in the cheapest inn for three days and eat steamed buns for two days. Unfortunately, today is the third day.

So, tonight he could still sleep under the broken roof, but during the day he couldn't eat anything.

Yan Ruyu didn't want to live in an inn. If he could save the money for staying in an inn, it would be enough for him to eat steamed buns for 10 more days, but he couldn't sleep casually in a leeward alley.

It wasn't too bad a place to sleep, at least he'd seen beggars sleep there.

But not now, now that he was holding Wu Cuo's sword, he was afraid that when he woke up, his arms would be empty and the sword would no longer be there.

If that happened, he must be crazy.

How many days can a person survive without food?Maybe 3 days, then, he still has 3 days to come up with a way to find the person in the portrait.

Before I could think of a way, I met a girl.

Girls from Jiangnan are always more affectionate, more delicate, and of course, more juicy and beautiful.

When a few shirtless men want to bully a juicy and beautiful girl, there will always be sentimental young heroes who are willing to meddle in their own business.

Ranking fourth in Wushuangpu is enough to make Yan Ruyu a hundred times better than ordinary young heroes, but he knows how embarrassed he is at the moment.

Fighting always consumes energy, which will make him unable to survive even 3 days.

However, if he just sits idly by, he will be ashamed to tell Wu Cuo about it in the future, and he doesn't want to.

As soon as the sword was out of its sheath, the weapons of several big men flew away. The big men said a few harsh words and ran away with their heads in their arms.

"Girl, are you okay?"

There is still a need for politeness, what if the girl is an ordinary person, thanking him for saving his life with a lot of money?

That couldn't be better.

It's a pity that the girl didn't take out the money, and she didn't express anything else. She just casually glanced at the sword in his hand and said, "This sword doesn't belong to you."

Only then did Yan Ruyu carefully look at the girl in front of her.Not only is she as beautiful as a Jiangnan woman, but she also looks heroic. Her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Wu Cuo.

"Do you know the owner of this sword?" Yan Ruyu asked.

The girl didn't answer him, but said to herself: "It's weird, this sword is more important than his life, how could you give it to others so easily?"

"Do you know the owner of this sword?" Yan Ruyu had to ask again.

The girl still didn't answer him, but asked instead: "Where did Wu go wrong? Why didn't you see him?"

Yan Ruyu sighed, and had no choice but to follow the girl's words: "Wu Cuo was taken away by someone who had access to the pylorus."

The girl was startled and said, "Abducted? Since you are holding his sword, you must be his friend. Why don't you go and save him?"

Yan Ruyu said: "I came here to save him."

"How are you going to save it?"

Yan Ruyu took out the portrait, handed it to the girl, and said, "If you want to save Wu Cuo, you have to kill this person first."

The girl glanced at the portrait and said with a sneer, "Are you looking for this person?"

"Exactly."

"I can take you to see him."

After the girl finished speaking, she turned around and left, Yan Ruyu strode to follow without hesitation.

This road was not far away. Turning the corner, the girl entered an unremarkable restaurant.

The girl went in, and Yan Ruyu followed.

The inside of the restaurant is at least 5 times bigger than Yan Ruyu imagined, with exquisite carved railings and screens, and a pair of ivory chopsticks on the table are enough to cover Yan Ruyu's annual expenses.

The girl wandered up to the second floor, and Yan Ruyu followed suit.

In the center of the second floor is a stage, and there are eight private rooms around the stage, no matter which one the main seat is, you can see the stage through a small window.

Among the eight private rooms, there were people sitting in two of them, and the babbling and singing on the stage were very charming.

But since the girl went upstairs, Hua Dan on the stage immediately silenced, bowed to the girl and then got off the stage, and the two people in the private room even got up and left without even daring to look at her.

The girl naturally entered the private room with the best location, and before she sat down, there was a waiter who took care of everything, and the food left by the two tables just now was removed calmly, and the aftertaste of the food was also wiped out. Sandalwood instead.

As soon as she sat down, sixteen exquisite side dishes were served, ranging from cold to hot.

When the dish was served, she refused to eat it, but made a gesture of invitation to Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu gobbled up a plate of food without even using chopsticks, and poured it directly into her mouth.Jiangnan's dishes are exquisite, one bite per plate, exactly sixteen bites, and he ate up all the dishes on the table.

"Have you had enough?" asked the girl.

While Yan Ruyu was eating, the girl only took a sip of tea.

"It's okay, it's okay, half full, half full." Yan Ruyu replied.

"You have seen the person in the portrait, how are you going to kill him?" the girl asked again.

"Did you see it? Who? The waiter? The opera singer? Or those diners at the two tables?"

The girl smiled and said, "Who do you think they look like?"

"I don't think they look like you."

The girl was startled and said, "How do you know it's me?"

"I don't know." Yan Ruyu shrugged, "But now I know that the portrait is not only a woman, but also Wu Cuo."

"I not only know Wu Cuo, but also his sister. Are you planning to kill me?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head and said: "No, no, I only heard that Wu Cuo has an older brother who is the head of the Wu family in the south of the Yangtze River. He is called Mr. Wu, but I have never heard that he has a sister."

"If he really wants to call me sister now, when I pretend to be a man to manage the Wu family's business, I will naturally be Mr. Wu, and of course he will call me brother."

Yan Ruyu was dumbfounded. He never thought that the elder brother whom Wu Cuo respected and admired every time he mentioned it was a woman.

He finally understood why Wu Cuo once said to him, "Maybe you will like my elder brother very much, I think you two are...a good match."

"Since you are Wu's fault... Sister, of course I can't kill you." After saying this, Yan Ruyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He almost killed a good person without asking any questions.

"You're sensible," Mr. Wu rolled his eyes at Yan Ruyu, "Let me ask you, did you come to kill me after a hundred miles and ten steps?"

Yan Ruyu didn't dare to underestimate women anymore, this woman in front of him was smarter than any man he had ever seen.

He had no choice but to answer honestly: "Not only do you want me to kill you, but you also want me to take your head back. Only in this way can you teach me how to defeat Tongyoumen like he did back then."

"He does have this ability, but he is too good at doing things." Mr. Wu said with a confident smile, "Since I know the whereabouts of my brother, I will naturally find a way to save him, so I don't need to worry about it." gone."

"You? How to save?"

"Although I don't know martial arts, I have a friend who knows martial arts. This friend will definitely help."

"But the person we are going to deal with is Fifth Master Xiong who ranks third on the Wushuang spectrum."

Yan Ruyu didn't deliberately pour cold water on Mr. Wu, he just didn't want to waste time by doing useless work.

"Oh? Who is more powerful, Fifth Master Xiong or Zhou Cheng?" Mr. Wu asked.

Yan Ruyu's heartbeat was about to burst, and Zhou Cheng was not only handsome and chivalrous, but also ranked second in Wushuangpu.

Ranked second means that only one person can defeat him in a head-to-head contest, and this person will definitely not be Xiong Wuye who is ranked third.

"Could this friend be Zhou Cheng?" Yan Ruyu's eyes were filled with hope, but he still couldn't believe it.

"Zhou Cheng passed by Hangzhou in the past, and his pockets were limited. I asked him to live in Wufu for three months, with good wine every day, and a hundred gold before he left. Difficulties are Zhou Cheng's difficulties, and Wu Fu's enemies are Zhou Cheng's enemies."

If Zhou Cheng helps, will Wu Cuo be saved?

When Eldest Prince Wu said that he would contact Zhou Cheng and let Yan Ruyu stay in Wu Fu for a few days, although Yan Ruyu was nervous, he still agreed.

But he couldn't wait for Zhou Cheng.

But the news of Zhou Cheng's death came the next day.

A man who called himself Han Zhige challenged Zhou Cheng.

There are always people in the rivers and lakes who dream of becoming famous in one battle, and it is a good choice to challenge the masters on the Wushuang spectrum.The vast majority of them died of pride and conceit, eager for quick success, but there are also very few dreams that come true.

Undoubtedly, Han Zhige had good luck.

According to the description of those who were lucky enough to watch the battle, Han Zhige was a short man in his 40s, wearing a Taoist robe that was too long, and his appearance was not good.

Zhou Cheng and Han Zhige fought 420 six moves, and the moves were full of dangers. The wind wall rolled up by the internal force covered the sky and blocked the sun, flying sand and walking stones.

Zhou Cheng always had the upper hand, the nine-section whip danced airtightly, and the opponent was tired of parrying and had no strength to fight back.

Before the 420 five strokes, Zhou Cheng had three chances to kill Han Zhige, but the second-ranked master on the Wushuang spectrum naturally had more requirements than the unknown junior. criticized.

Such moves as iron ox catching tail, kite catching cicada, praying mantis catching eyes, he would never use such moves unless his life was in danger.

In the fifth move, Zhou Cheng finally found an opportunity. He was very satisfied with his patience, and even began to think about where to find a woman to relax later.

Women can always help him eliminate the exhaustion after battles. Of course, women will also bring another kind of exhaustion. He can no longer tell which exhaustion is more comfortable.

Jade Dragon comes out of the water!

The nine-section whip in his hand was indeed like a dragon coming out of the water, breaking through the wind wall formed by internal force, and went straight to Han Zhige's face, and the people watching the battle heard a faint dragon chant.

This shot was so fast that one of the spectators accidentally blinked his eyes, regretting that he couldn't eat or sleep for three whole months.

No one expected that Han Zhige would catch such a quick whip.

Han Zhige has no weapons, his hands are his weapons.

His left hand was gloved, and it was this left hand that caught the nine-jointed whip.

Zhou Cheng's reaction was also considered quick. He closed his momentum and stepped back step by step, trying to use the momentum to pull back the nine-section whip.

Unexpectedly, the opponent fired three hidden weapons in succession with his right hand.

The timing of launching the concealed weapon was extremely precise, it happened to be at the moment when Zhou Cheng's body was in the air, and the angle was also extremely tricky. If you dodge those two, you will be poked in the thigh by this one, and if you dodge these two, you will be shot by the other one. A pierced face.

In desperation, Zhou Cheng decided to keep his face.

At the same time as he landed, his thigh hurt, Zhou Cheng became furious and wanted to fight back when he raised his whip, but he staggered under his feet. It turned out that the hidden weapon happened to be stuck in the hole of the rabbit.

Zhou Cheng was startled, his heart was in a bad mood, and he danced the nine-section whip wildly to force Han Zhige back, no longer caring about his image.

The 420th sixth move may be the worst move Zhou Cheng has ever used, it is so messy that it can no longer be called a move.

How could Han Zhige give him a chance, his gloved left hand was already around his neck.

Where is this hand?It is as hard as steel, and as cold as ice skates on the eaves of the three or nine days. This is a hand from hell!
Zhou Cheng's neck was broken by that hand, and his tongue stuck out long, neither chic nor coquettish.

In the teahouse, the spectators were spitting, looking at the man who was frightened by his description, shrinking his neck and clamping his arms, he smiled with satisfaction.

Yan Ruyu was the most frightened and lost his composure. He didn't know how he got back to the Wu Mansion.

Wu Cuo has been punished for ten days. He should have rescued him, but at this moment he has nothing to do.

Wu House.

When Yan Ruyu entered the door, the old housekeeper had been waiting for a long time at the door.

"Master Wu asked me to hand over something to you, please follow me."

Yan Ruyu followed the old housekeeper, walked through the courtyard, and finally entered the most quiet and elegant courtyard, which was the residence of Mr. Wu.

The room is very simple and elegant, the entire two walls are bookshelves, filled with books, there are tea sets, flower arrangements, and a town house dagger, the handle of which is very similar to Wu Cuo's sword.

The house doesn't have the extra decorations of my daughter's house, and it doesn't look too masculine.

There was a wooden box on the table in the middle of the room, and the old housekeeper signaled Yan Ruyu to open it.

There was still a wooden box inside, and the gap between the two wooden boxes was filled with ice cubes. As the weather got warmer, the ice cubes had already begun to melt, forming a thin layer of water at the bottom of the box.

Yan Ruyu opened the wooden box inside.

It was a wooden box about the size of a human head, and it should be able to fit a human head in it.

It does have a human head.

The head of Mr. Wu!
Her expression was serene, she didn't seem to be in pain when she died, and there was even a smile at the corner of her mouth.

She must have also heard the news of Zhou Cheng's death, and knowing that there was only one way to save Wu Cuo, she decided to exchange her own life for her younger brother's and die with dignity.

Yan Ruyu's hand holding the wooden box was trembling, the wooden box seemed to weigh a thousand catties, which made him unable to bear it and knelt down.

In the past, he always felt that dead people were dirty and made him sick, but now that a dead person's head was held in his hands, he felt that it was the most holy thing in the world, and even just looking at it would defile her.

Yan Ruyu's heart was empty, and his whole body was drenched in cold sweat. He hadn't rescued Wu Cuo, but he had already killed Mr. Wu. He felt that he was the one who deserved to die the most.

"This head was lent to you by Eldest Young Master Wu. When you rescue Second Young Master, I hope you will send the head back so that we can have a safe burial. This old slave will thank you for the three hundred members of the Wu family."

After saying this, the housekeeper walked out alone, and before closing the door, he said, "Master Wu told you that I will also lend you the one-horned Cang Yue in the stable."
