The atmosphere suddenly froze as everyone turned to look at this hunchbacked old man.

Even Wang Lih was surprised, this old man's intention …

Was he going to spar with her in the arena? Guide yourself? Take the copper?

However, the old man's white hair was messy and he looked very old. His face was covered in wrinkles and his clothes were tattered. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a long, snaking scar on his left eye.

The old tutor wanted to spar with him?

"Old man, you are getting old. "We're still …" Wang Lih smiled and cupped his hands. "I won't do anything to the old man."

"Stop dawdling, let's follow the rules." This is the arena. If this old man wants to challenge you, you have no choice but to accept, right? " The old man answered, "One of us is young and the other is old. We don't have to let anyone bully anyone. If little brother isn't willing to spar with this old man … "Then just help me pay for the wine."

Tong Tianyu looked over from behind with a solemn expression.

Wang Lih looked towards the table that the old man walked over to. It was a full five pots! The five great pots of wine were placed on the table. They didn't smell like alcohol even after drinking so much. Just the amount of liquor alone was enough to shock people.

Although he could afford it, if he fought with the old man, he really wouldn't be able to help.

During the days when he was reading the Shaolin Temple, he had learned a lot about respect for others.

"Haha!" Seeing the expression on little brother's face, since you aren't willing to help this old man pay for the wine, then come and fight! This way, it seems like this old man will have more money! " The old man smiled, turned around and walked towards the arena.

"Let's fight first!" After some hesitation, Wang Lih finally decided, "I will only know after fighting. I will not know whether I should pay or not." After that, he would head to the arena as well. At this time, Older Brother Tong patted his shoulder and leaned over to whisper.

"Don't underestimate this old man!" Despite his age and his white hair, the aura he gave off was terrifying. It was heavy and reserved, yet it did not lose its pressure. It's definitely an expert! "

Wang Lih couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard that.

"However, don't worry. It's just a martial arts competition. There's no danger. Eight hundred gold coins is not a large sum of money." You can go up and test this old man's skills! Even if we lose, the audience will only say that the old will bully the young.

Both were ready.

The atmosphere in the audience froze. It was as if everyone was holding their breath as they watched this young and old duo.

Wang Lih held a big stone stick in his hand and showed a white crane flapping its wings in preparation.

The old man put down the pouch in his hand and took out a four foot long curved blade.

"This old man is good at using scimitars." Wang Lih remembered.

"This old man is in a hurry to get the money, so I won't dawdle any longer." The old man held the scimitar and observed it for a while. Then, he took off the handle of the scimitar and placed the scimitar back into the bag! With this one foot long wooden handle in hand, the old man was ready to fight!

Wang Lih was surprised. What this grandpa meant was, hit with the handle of a knife?

Just at this moment, the old man seemed to have transformed into a whirlwind, instantly charging forward, each step several zhang away. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Wang Lih. This movement technique was faster than anyone else that Wang Lih had ever seen!

"This, this, this speed, how is this possible!"

Just a moment ago, it was almost an instant!

Before he could even react and raise his stick, the old man's hand came raining down like a rain! Wang Lih couldn't see the path clearly at all and tried his best to swing the stick to block. However, his speed was at least twenty times slower than the old man! The old man only used one hand, which made Wang Lih helpless.

"Da!" Clatter! Clatter! Clatter! "Clatter!"

With a few consecutive heavy sounds, Wang Lih was sent flying a few meters away like Guo Feng.

The entire audience went into an uproar as they all gasped in admiration at this old man's speed.

"BOOM!"

Wang Lih hit the ground, Tong Tianyu quickly ran over to check.

Five times the handle of the knife hit in an instant, five holes were directly opened on Wang Lih's clothes. The skin under the clothes was dark, obviously, there were bruises on it. The hard body of the fifth level of the Diamond Sutra was actually bruised.

"This old man!" Tong Tianyu clenched his teeth.

Just a moment ago, in just a few breaths' time, the old man had defeated the high-spirited Wang Lih with the hilt of his saber.

The old man looked over from the stage, just like how Wang Lih looked at Guo Feng.

"This old man doesn't want the extra money. I'll take eight hundred coins." Like a phantom, the old man's figure moved so fast that one could not see him clearly. In just a breath's time, the cloth bag Wang Lih put on the wooden table beside him was taken away. Just as he was about to step out of the door, he heard a thunderous roar coming from outside:

"Halt!"

Everyone in the audience also looked over. It was the young child's big brother shouting in anger.

The old man stopped in front of the door and looked over.

"With your age and profound skills, you dare to bully my little brother? Is that not fair? With just a few decades of hard work, what difference is there between him and a bandit or bandit?! " Tong Tianyu was obviously angry.

"Oh?"

The old man smiled. How could there be justice in this world? You set the stage, this old man will do it, that's all. "

"A young brother dares to show off his skills. Why can't these old bones of mine show off again? "Big brother isn't convinced, it's fine for you to challenge my arena master now."

"You …" Tong Tianyu was speechless.

"If you want to fight, then fight. If you don't want to fight, then stop blabbering." The old man shook his head, "Black Yi Dynasty, isn't it always the boss who can fight? "How dare you disobey the rules in the capital?" Then, his figure flashed as he left.

The audience was still holding their breath. Some were looking at the door in surprise, and some were looking at Tong Tianyu in surprise.

Tong Tianyu was helpless and unwilling, this old man was right. Without the strength right now, he had no right to speak.

"It really is the bandit old man!"

The restaurant resumed its liveliness.

Guo Feng, Zuo Hao and the other defeated generals had long left the place. Tong Tianyu, on the other hand, was squatting beside Sun Tie.

"Are you severely injured?" "It's already bruised." Tong Tianyu observed with his brows knitted while Wang Lih had a heavy expression on their faces. They were still thinking about what happened just a moment ago. How could an old man possess such profound skills?

If it had come to this day, he would have met everyone. Since Daoist Master Fu Chang was first and Miesi White Haired Man was second, then this old man was undoubtedly third! Just a movement technique was enough to amaze and amaze!

That night, the sharp sword only managed to scratch his flesh slightly.

Just a moment ago, just the handle of a wooden block's knife was enough to bruise five places on his body at the fifth level of the Diamond Sutra?! Just with one hand, he could create an illusion that was like rain. How fast was that?

Half a year after he left the mountain, Wang Lih had a lot of questions.

The great dynasty ruled by military officials and appointed officials for the martial arts selection. This was extremely unreasonable! To cure a nation, you must be a man of great foresight and a great deal of experience, and everyone knows that.

But why would a military official be able to rule a country and remain stable for a thousand years?

There were only a few strong Sunpierce List in the entire empire, and many of them were from sects, Sect Leader? The person who had mastered the art of controlling the wind and was able to travel freely between the heaven and earth had actually decided to not participate in the Martial Forest Convention and obtain the throne of a country?

Why did the highest authority in the dynasty let go? Where did Number One Under Heaven, Ren Ziloong, go? Had no one really discovered him in the past seven years? Then, where did the two Bai Yi from before go?

Too many questions, too much confusion!

There must be many deep secrets hidden beneath the surface stability of this empire! Or it could be said that outside of this Wuzhou ocean, there was still the world that had yet to be explored. He had also mentioned that the Diamond Sutra originated from overseas. There would definitely be other empires or states overseas as well. The whole world was so vast. There were many problems that he had yet to explore. There were probably a lot of them!

Maybe Ren Ziloong, Hei Yi, and Bai Yi, who had gone missing, were going to explore.

"Little brother?"

"Little brother!"

"Hmm?!" Only after Tong Tianyu shouted twice did Wang Lih wake up from his thoughts.

"I asked you just now, are your injuries serious?" Tong Tianyu continued to ask, but Wang Lih looked at the wound in front of him. He could not help but smile. "It's just a bruise, nothing serious."

He then stood up and moved freely.

"I have cultivated in Shaolin Temple for many years, so my body is very strong." Wang Lih laughed.

"That's good, that's good."

As Tong Tianyu was packing up his stuff, he said, "This old man is really a bandit. He's so young and yet he dares to bully a teenage brother! It really is old! "

Wang Lih remained silent.

What the old man had said just now was true. If a military official rules a country, then martial force is a rule within a large country. If there are any who refuse to accept this, just come and hit me. "Such words may sound provocative, but they are also meant to make the weaker ones feel helpless.

"Let's go, I'll buy some medicine for your wounds first, then we'll go see Qin Xiao." Tong Tianyu muttered, "What a shitty old man!"

Wang Lih was speechless.

The restaurant did not put on a show, and no one paid any more attention to Wang Lih and Tong Tianyu.

The two of them left the Congealed Fragrance Tavern and bought medicine for the medicine in a medicine hall on the south street. Afterwards, Tong Tianyu, led by Wang Lih, arrived at the Luo Famliy's Mansion located near the center of the city. After the two Luo Famliy's Mansion guards bowed respectfully, the two of them went in. Older Brother Qinxiao was busy with Luo Family matters and was coincidentally at home.

When the maid reported the news, Qin Xiao, who was in the main hall, immediately put aside the documents in his hands.

After the maidservants and guards passed on their orders, the three of them gathered in an elegant pavilion in the backyard.

Fragrance filled the air as the stove was placed in the center. There was a sky full of flying snow outside the window, but the interior of the room was unusually warm. Wang Lih and Tong Tianyu both took their seats. Older Brother Qin, who had changed into a dark blue brocade robe, also entered.

"Kid!" I didn't think that even I, Tong Tianyu, would have to report this to a maid when I come looking for you. "

Seeing Older Brother Qin walk in, Older Brother Tong burst into laughter.

"Older Brother Qin." Wang Lih respectfully cupped his hands.

"You should be clear about the complex nature of Luo Family! More than half of Family Head of Luo Family's family members were taken away during this trip. Now that you leave all of your authority in my hands, I'll be busy all day! " Qin Xiao hurriedly smiled and sat down. "Now we don't even have time for martial arts practice."

"Family? "He went as well?" However, Tong Tianyu was suspicious. "He's not?"

"Family Head of Luo Family is going to visit some merchants, and he is also going to visit some Zhuzhou in the southern region. Other than Jiangzhou, Luo Family was the biggest business. The reason why he has come to visit is also to deal with it. " Qin Xiao explained.

"A merchant?" Tong Tianyu said, "No wonder."

Wang Lih looked at the two and chatted.

It was obvious that Older Brother Tong had just traveled to Beijing and Family Head of Luo Family had already been gone for five months.

"Then again, how did you two end up together?" Qin Xiao asked with a smile.

"Little brother went to the Congealed Fragrance Tavern, and coincidentally, I was there drinking a little, and met me." Tong Tianyu explained, "At that time, I got to know little brother at Luo County, you wouldn't have forgotten about this, right?"

"Right, right." Qin Xiao immediately scratched his head, "Young Brother Wang was recommended by you, but I actually forgot about it."

Wang Lih was silent. He had no right to speak when the two elders spoke.

"Wang …. Little brother's surname is Wang! " Wu Tie said, "After Young Brother Wang arrived at the restaurant today, he went onto the stage and knocked down that 'Three-legged cat' and 'Windbreak Sword' that won four rounds! This Shaolin Kung Fu cannot be underestimated, I truly admire it. "

"I am indebted to Older Brother Qin for teaching White Crane Fist, which is why I have my current level." Wang Lih cupped his hands.

"Haha, Old Tong, what are you so proud of?" Qin Xiao also laughed, "Since Young Brother Wang has already said so, you should also be able to see through it. After learning martial arts from me for half a year, you can easily tell how powerful the White Crane Fist is with a single look! "

But Tong Tianyu sighed, "How powerful can it be? You little rascal can defeat me now? "

"Let's put this matter aside for now." Qin Xiao said.

"Hahahaha!" Hearing this, Older Brother Tong immediately laughed heartily. Wang Lih also revealed a smile on his face.

"Speaking of which, after winning against the Wind Breaking Sword in the restaurant, there was a savage old man who came to snatch the money from Young Brother Wang. I apologize." Tong Tianyu shook his head, "He looks to be around 70 or 80 years old, going to spar with a kid like Young Brother Wang. He did not manage to beat Young Brother Wang, so he took away the money for the competition. What a pity! "It seems like he should be a powerful expert. With my level, I might not be able to provoke him."

"You can't even afford to offend him?" Qin Xiao was slightly surprised, "How powerful can this old man be?"
