C02: Darts Gu

Like a flash of lightning, Lu Qing jumped up and stored his strength in the palm of his hand, and the man was caught off guard falling backwards with his kick!

"Ah..." The girl was thrown back by the man's arm, and she was scared.

"Who...?" The man roared in anger, his features twisted ferociously, making people afraid of him.

Lu Qing landed skillfully, clenched his fists with his palms, seemingly at ease, but in fact he was ready to attack. Once the man launched an attack, Lu Qing could freely face him regardless of whether it was up or down.

"I'm not used to seeing girls bullied and robbed!" Lu Qing shouted.

The man laughed at his youth and the fact that he was alone.

"Where do you come from? Go to your mother so she can give you milk!"

The man when he said the word:OWN, with his left hand on the girl's arm, extended his right hand, pointing at the tip of Lu Qing's nose. It was so fast that when he saw it, there was no way to avoid it.

The move was so dangerous that if the opponent was familiar with it or had been prepared, he would have failed. Lu Qing thought:I bet you don't know this trick!

So he took a chance and managed to avoid the attack, jumping behind him and throwing his right fist and left foot in unison. The man was so confused by the successive attacks that he was unable to defend himself from Lu Qing's punches and kicks, causing him to fall to the ground. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't continue worrying about the girl. Lu Ziqu winced when he saw them.

Lu Ziqu was already at the girl's side when Lu Qing faced his opponent. The moment the man's mouth went slack, his fingers curled into claws.

Lu Ziqu took the girl's hand and was able to push her out of the way.

When the man saw that his prey had been kidnapped and was being beaten, he was filled with anger and regret for having overestimated the young man in front of him.

Hearing the murmurs and laughter around him, he couldn't resist and swung his fist at Lu Qing.

Lu Qing knew that he was furious and that his fist would be ruthless, so he could get away with it, otherwise he was not wise.

After thinking about it for a long time, he tried the same trick again, crouching and running towards his opponent's threat.

The man was prepared for this, but he laughed at the fact that Lu Qing was a young man and thought that he could perform the same movement one after another, so he would tighten his arm to hold the neck as thin as a bamboo pole, and then take it off together, or twist it to death if he couldn't.

Unexpectedly, this was so easy.

Lu Qing knew that he had fallen into the trap. He showed a smile and his feet suddenly changed. He turned sharply and swooped away. His body was hunched over, he placed his palms on the ground for support, and kicked the man's feet like a juggler. His toes were like a sword and hit his chin hard. It almost looked like the bone could snap.

“Oohh…” The man groaned and fell to the ground, and because it landed on the back of his head, it hurt and his eyes were shining, he struggled to get up. Lu Qing also laughed out loud, but not because of the man, but so that Lu Ziqu would remember to give him a compliment.

But it was this laughter that made the man stand up and grab Lu Qing's wrist, despite the feeling of dizziness. This was a surprise attack, and Lu Qing was caught off guard.

“I'll show you what happens when you mess with an adult!”

Lu Qing in desperation, had to risk dislocating and twisting his wrist, but when he couldn't free himself, he raised his foot and kicked upwards!

"¡Oooh!

He hit the man in the groin, and the pain was so great that he fell to his knees again before he could get to his feet. Lu Qing jumped away and shook his wrist, which was already red and swollen.

The situation took a turn. The man was from another house with different training from Lu Qing, furthermore all of Lu Qing's practices were exclusive to the Lu family and were never passed down. If it weren't for Lu Ziqu who was a good student and had recorded most of the content in his mind, he was sure that Lu Yun would have felt sorry for him if he had known.

The Lu family's martial method emphasized ingenuity, and Lu Yun originally wanted Lu Ziqu to learn it, but he knew that he was too weak to achieve much even if he practiced it, so he stopped thinking about it halfway. Who knew that Lu Ziqu would become Lu Qin's tutor after reading the methods left behind? He engraved these key points on Lu Qing's hand bones. Lu Ziqu was a talented martial artist, and when he didn't understand something, he could understand it with just a little help. If he didn't understand it, Lu Qing could fix it by himself. All he wanted to do was do well, so although he could teach most of his martial knowledge to Lu Qing, he could hardly improve it.

The man almost fell to the ground again. When the pain subsided, he knew that he couldn't force an attack, so he reached into his pants to feel them and fumbled.

The onlookers only thought that he was worried about his future children, but Lu Ziqu clearly saw the suppressed fury in his eyes.

“Qingqing…!” Before he finished speaking he saw the man throw something with his hand and three black dots flashed.

The three black dots stuck into the ground, looking like some kind of weapon, like insects, spinning on the ground, like vicious; The crowd had never seen such an object… so everyone dodged them, making it easy for Lu Ziqu to kick the three dark spots, watching them as they were pushed away.

"¿Dardos Gu?"

(T/N: Wow, here I find myself with this weapon again... what a shame to grab those worms ¬¬)

This poison dart was made of live poisonous insects, they looked like insects in appearance, but contained poison inside. The poison depended on the life of the insects themselves; If you were stung by the Gu, you would be instantly poisoned without any chance of treatment. Lu Ziqu thought that the man's martial arts skills were mediocre and he didn't look like he could handle the Gu, so it must have been given to him by someone else.

Seeing that he had missed, the man threw a second dart, but how could Lu Ziqu allow such a trick to succeed? Lu Qing had little experience in handling hidden weapons, so he couldn't take much advantage even if he was allowed to fight. After thinking about it, Lu Ziqu quickly took off his robe and jumped onto the field with his feet in the air. The robe was like a living thing in his hands, moving towards the east and not towards the west. The man watched as the robe snatched dozens of hidden weapons from him.

"Do you want to use dirty tricks when you can't beat them?" The robe fell to the ground in a flurry of clear, crisp hits.

The man was scared, he didn't expect the young man's companion to be so skilled as to take away his weapons, and now that he had been kicked and beaten, he was even more intimidated, but he didn't want to retreat.

“It seems like you are worried about something…” Lu Qin sneered.

“Qingqing, how can you be so indifferent? You don't even try to dodge it! “If I hadn’t done something, you would have let these darts hit you,” Lu Ziqu scolded in a low voice with his gaze fixed. “Just now, you didn't even have a chance to escape! You should know that it is easy to dodge a drawn weapon, but it is difficult to defend against a hidden one. If I didn’t intervene now, these darts could have been successful!”

“Sorry, brother,” said Lu Qing who had not even seen what kind of hidden weapon Lu Ziqu had deflected. His tone was aggrieved.

The man looked at the two of them as if there were no one in his world, and his fear grew, but when he moved his legs to escape, the crowd erupted with shouts:

"Stupid, fight!"

“Finish what you started”

Lu Ziqu could not see the other's face, but understand the man's fear and uneasiness as he had lost control of his life and death.

"Little brothers, this man is not someone of the world, so don't let him go."

A hooded man spoke with respect and courtesy and even kicked the man between his knees in front of them, forcing him to fall to his feet, “Why don't we take a step back, you guys can keep the girl and I'll take her.” come back and teach him a lesson?”

Lu Qing se rio de esto.

At first glance, it seemed like the brothers were getting the best of the deal, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that there was more to it than that, as Lu Ziqu shook his head at that man, a smile still on his full lips. of irony.

“My master has always taught us that when we see injustice, we should help each other. Now that the girl's safety is safe, why should she be ours and he yours? That? Wouldn't you be taking advantage of it for nothing? How about this, he is ours and your life is yours?”

Lu Qing was surprised that Lu Ziqu who was usually so kind would argue with others, much less make such a threatening comment. He didn't understand why his brother was so angry about the dart trick! It was fortunate that Lu Qing was not injured! If it had been the other way around, she didn't think she could afford to use her mouth to provoke him.

“So the negotiations have broken down,” he whispered: “For the kingdom.”

Luk knew that this was a code word, for the sole reason that he had been paying attention to the kneeling man and had naturally caught the change in his eyes, the look that was clearly waiting for an opportunity!

In an instant, the man roared and charged at them. Lu Qing was prepared! He pushed his brother away and fought with both hands. The difference in size didn't give him much of an advantage. But the fighter's other eyes were fixed on Lu Ziqu! Seeing that he didn't move! He didn't do anything! Naturally, it was another Gu dart.

"¡Qingqing, sostenlo!

Knowing the target of the dart, Lu Ziqu knew that if he let Lu Qing jump to dodge it, he would be defeated, so he told him to step back and change positions with Lu Qing at the same time. The man was more afraid of Lu Ziqu than Lu Ching, and even though they were so different in height, he still managed to back away.

That's all! This was the moment that gave Lu Ziqu the opportunity.

There was an unidentified lump between them! When he felt a tingling sensation on his skin, it was only after the skin was touched that he realized what it was: a sharp blade!

To make it easier to carry and use, Lu Ziqu had tried his best to make a few daggers the size of his fingertips, which he tied with a leather cloth and put in his hands; Not only were they faster than lightning, but they also made people feel confused and could be trapped in an instant.

The man's eyes were unclear, he had never seen anything like this!

He was cut several times before he realized the pain, and immediately threw his head back and screamed, bleeding.

Seeing this, Lu Qing was pleased with himself! He smiled and switched with Lu Ziqu again. The man wanted to kill Lu Ziqu, and when he saw that he was going to chase him, Lu Qing blocked his way, and his fists and legs looked like shooting stars over the wounds.

"Stupid!" The hooded man said, "Idiot! How stupid is this brother of mine?"

He fired three Gu darts with his backhand, one aimed at Lu Qing and two at Lu Ziqu's eyes. The latter only used a shield as a target, and although it was powerful, it was barely able to touch the edge.

Even though it was not as powerful as gu darts, it was more than a match for him.

When Lu Ziqu looked at it, he could see that this dart was very different from the one he had just thrown, because while the previous one was black, this one was blue and red.

He then waved his sleeve and turned the soft material into a hard shield for the two darts to hit, then returned to the original soft material.

Seeing him the man shouted: "Damn!" he had underestimated his opponent.

The Gu dart that was shot at Lu Qing collided with the one fired by Lu Ziqu and fell to the ground like two dead insects.

And the other?

A stab of pain spread from the first man's shoulder. He froze and then out of nowhere a gu dart embedded deep into his flesh, no blood splashing, but deep enough to touch the bone, so he could imagine how horrible the wound would be if this gu dart were removed. .

"¡Shifu, shifu!"

The man panicked, the gu dart was really poisonous!

"Be quiet! You are not useful! "You are not fit to carry the rock for three days and three nights!" said the hooded man, who had been called Shifu (master).

When he saw how alert and skilled Lu Ziqu was, he simply gave up and extended his arm several times, firing a dozen gu darts in one go. He told himself:Three darts won't get you anywhere, how about six? How about nine? How about twelve? One of them will kill you!

The attack was so fierce that Lu Ziqu had to push Lu Qing away! He jumped up, his long sleeves dancing, his skillful body flying through the air, looking like a bird in flight.

The dozens of hidden weapons did not arrive at the same time, but in one wave! But I didn't expect this man to be a poison gu master, so how could he be so open and honest? The poison was completely hidden by the wave of attacks.

"Hiss!" Lu Ziqu was heard gasping as he saw a dart appear on his skin.

At the same moment he was distracted, a second and third gu darts arrived in quick succession, embedding themselves in his arm. Although he extracted them one after another from his skin, he felt numb and could not move well. He was surprised: “This poison is so powerful! I can not move"

"Brother!" Lu Qing shouted and hit the man on the head, and while he was dizzy, he ran to Lu Ziqu's side and saw the gu dart wound.

"Careful!"

Lu Ziqu knew that this was a good time for him to take advantage of his own injury. As expected, they saw the hooded man running after them! Lu Qing immediately took a stance to fight his opponent head-on, even if his chances of winning were slim, it was better than doing nothing!

"¡Qingqing!"

In desperation, he rushed forward, not caring about the wound on his left arm, for fear that Lu Qing would be attacked recklessly. But there was no pain afterwards, the hooded man gave up the chance to kill the Lu brothers.

At the same time, there was a scream and Lu Ziqu looked back to see the first man taking the girl and quickly running away.

"¡Oh no!”

Lu Ziqu's left arm was numb at this moment, but it was not difficult to reach or even repel the enemy, but it would have been much more difficult to recover the girl without any injuries...But how could they stop them so easily now?

“We have to chase them!”

They were too slow to act and could only watch the hurried silhouettes shrink. Lu Ziqu's lightness was stronger than Lu Qing's, and in an instant he had left his brother behind, who was difficult to catch up with. The best thing was that the two brothers understood each other well.

"Brother! Division!"

While fleeing, the first man immediately turned to the right following his shifu's instructions. But who would have thought that a white shadow would come out of nowhere and grab Dou Rongxian (the first man) without giving them any chance to react.

"Who is it!"

The white figure stopped and stood on the side of the road. The girl had indeed fainted and had not opened her eyes even with all the noise.

"Your brother knows me, I've chased him for days, and I've finally caught him here!"

He saw the shadow of a man who looked a lot like him, he grabbed the girl tighter, who would have thought he couldn't escape so quickly?

"You bastard, you are as tough as your master!"

The words sounded like a compliment to the white figure. He smiled in response and said, "My master has said that they will want you back."

"Come, if you can," said Dou.

The man in white did not bother, he took a few steps forward when both men were helpless, and although he had someone in his arms, he quickly launched an attack. Dou felt a lot of pain that he couldn't resist even if he had fought with the Lu brothers, now this man was beating him.

"Brother...leave it..."

"That's kind and fair." The man in white seemed to appreciate the fact that the man had sacrificed himself and let Dou go first:

“So I won't make things difficult for you. This is a unique technique that cannot be practiced by anyone other than a member of the Fang family. It is also known as theDamao Naoyang”(the feline's scratch) was due to the posture that resembled that of a tiger or leopard when scratching.

He was knocked to the ground by this! The man falls to the ground with this! The mouth full of blood... it was shocking.

“¡Shifu!”

He wanted to fight... The first thing he did was turn to help, but if he did, he would have to make up for both of them, which would not only be a waste of effort but also reckless.

"Here!"

At the same time, the Lu brothers arrived, and when they saw the man on the ground, they did not dare to be careless as Lu Qing stepped on their wrists and Lu Ziqu did not hesitate to tackle him. He even managed to use all his strength to throw Lu Qing away, as he took a few steps forward to grab the white man's foot and shouted, “Go away!”

Dou saw his opportunity and quickly escaped by throwing his last Gu dart towards them, Lu Ziqu blocked it with his robe. The man in white had to crouch down to protect the girl in his arms, and at the same time, he put his heel into action to break free from Lu Ziqu's grip, he got up to chase after him, but he couldn't.

The man was not in sight.

Lu Ziqu was waiting to fight, they were on the outskirts of the city right now, there were dense forests in the distance. If he was hiding in the forest with such skills, it would be difficult to find him.

The man in white feared for the girl's safety, so he took his opportunity and punched and kicked the man's shifu. He was beaten to death with punches and kicks, and his face was covered in blood. I would have died.

The man in white hated him so much that he thought he would get a headache if he returned to his master.

He said, "It doesn't matter, since we captured your brother, we won't worry about following the trail. The two brothers had a strong bond, so there was nothing to worry about."

The man in white took out a rope from his pocket, and Lu Qing took it and tied the man. It was only then that he remembered that he had never met this gentleman, so he gave his name. The man in white was Fang Yi, and he had been ordered by his master to follow Dou Rongxian.

Although Li Ziqu felt that something was wrong, he thought to himself that the other man was a talented person!

"Brother, let's go to the yamen, we can't let him go so easily!" Lu Qing said.

Fang Yi heard Lu Qing speak and totally agreed, he said that this girl must be from a family in the city.

"It's better to send her home first."

One of the Lu brothers carried the head and the other the legs like a pig in a blanket, of the hooded man, who seemed to have the name Shuang Li. They separated from Fang Yi after explaining the matter in the yamen.

Fang Yi wanted to stay a little longer to investigate the fight site.

“Today it was a good omen to meet, if it happens again, the three of us will have a drink together” said Fang Yi, who seemed like a calm and happy person. He spoke decisively, which made Lu Qing appreciate him and even praise him.

"Goodbye, Brother Fang." Lu Ziqu was very indifferent to him, still thinking that there were many things to buy in the market. How could he delay it again? After a quick greeting, he took Lu Qing away, not knowing that the three of them were already in someone's eyes. that I could see them and take them seriously.

-.-.-.-

“¡Shifu!”

The man he called Master was dressed in a long green shirt, his long hair tied with a ribbon, and a few strands of green silk swayed on his forehead like a green willow. Just by looking at them, one could tell that they are the eyes of a man who has the eyes of a kingdom and who looks at all men! He did not respond immediately, but waited until the sound of footsteps approached, before raising his gaze, he seemed to be used to it.

“Why did you return to the girl?” He looked at the girl in Fang Yi's arms with great interest. “You want to get married and are afraid of spoiling the yuanyang book? Excellent! What good manners!”

“No, Shifu!” Fang Yi was panicked, without any trace of the cruelty with which he had confronted the men in the forest earlier.

“I'm just having fun, silly disciple” he reached out and put his hand on Fang Yi's head. It was like such a superficial persuasion method.

“Shifu, you are... Ah, Shifu, I'm sorry, I let that man escape, but I swear that I will catch him and I will be closer to the truth.”

His master was not worried, but he was aware of his opponent's cunning, not to mention the fact that he had won before.

"Shifu! “Can you see if the girl needs help?” Fang Yi foolishly introduced the girl he was holding to his master. The man in green clothes raised his eyebrows and pulled up the girl's sleeve to take her pulse! It was constant and without any abnormality in her skin temperature, even a few lines of delicate color showed that the girl was healthy.

“What was the name of the man who fought alongside you? That method was so vivid that it seems that I knew it before..."

“Yes, the young man's name is Lu Qing. The other was his brother Lu Ziqu.”

“Lu..” the man in green clothes did not ask any more questions but looked at the girl's face and after a while said: “This girl has delicate features, it is no wonder that she was kidnapped and bought, but why? Why don't you take her to the doctor?

“Shifu, the girl was so scared that no one could help her.”

The man in green clothes laughed heartily upon hearing this.

“You've thought of everything. I'll cut off a piece of my forehead later and take up the paintbrush… a good hand to become scum again or a hanging pot to help the world?”

Fang Yi was so impressed that he closed his mouth. All he could think about was that his master had the best and most powerful abilities in the world! But he had no idea that his master didn't like the idea of ​​being used for his abilities.

“I'm sorry, Shifu…”

“I'll lecture you later,” he pinched Fang Yi's cheek as a warning. He had no choice but to nod.

The man in green clothes picked up the girl like a kitten. He was unconscious and had no support on the back of his head, so he moved with the man's movements, which made it impossible to see them more closely.

She had a delicate face; if she had been awake she would have smiled with a crudeness that would have distracted her.

“The girl is just unconscious and should wake up in a few minutes, her life is not in danger…” the eyes of the man in green fell on the girl's neck.

There was something strange there that caused him confusion, he reached out and pushed aside the clothes to take a closer look.

Fang Yi when he saw this felt uncomfortable but he didn't dare to say anything for fear of angering the master again until he heard a laugh coming from him.

"And, and, and...oh"

“Shifu, what's wrong?” Fang Yi asked uneasily.

"Nothing bad. What evil must there be? It’s perfectly fine!”

The words of the man in green were not reassuring, and Fang Yi, who had been a disciple for more than ten years, could not help but make his heart rise to his throat and shout timidly:

 "Shifu".

"You said what was this girl's family? What kind of girl was this? You can see for yourself." The green shirt man laughed. Seeing the collar opening wider and wider, Fang Yi was about to turn his face away, he walked away to comply with the rule of decorum, but the green shirt man saw through. of his concern and scolded him, and with that look he was stupefied.

"I..."

"Idiot, look down!"
