Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 52 Clue ([-])

"This method of wielding the sword is really unique. I am used to attacking with a short body and use the lower body to exert force. If I am not wrong, it should be the way of the Qiang people using the sword." Tang Fangzhi said, in fact, because of his physical defects, he is also very He seldom ventures into the Jianghu, but as one of the managers of the Tang Sect, he handles foreign affairs all the year round. He has also accumulated rich experience in the Jianghu through what he has heard and seen.

"That's right, it's the Qiang knife! The Qiang people live in the mountains and are used to fighting on steep mountain roads, so they formed this unique way of using the knife." Jiang Shijia continued to gesture with the knife while saying: "However, among the moves shown by Xue Shao's escort, there are still these, but they are different from Qiang Dao."

Mrs. Jing Yu watched Jiang Shijia jump up and stab down instead of slashing. This is exactly the trick Xue Chang demonstrated to kill his father just now. She suddenly remembered something: " The sword is used as a sword, this seems to be... seems to be..."

"The sword technique of Tiandaomen, which was destroyed more than 30 years ago." Tang Fangzhi continued.

"Amitabha!" Master Jingyu recited the Buddha's name softly, and sighed softly: "Back then, the old hero Zhou led his disciples to assist the Jiange defenders in resisting the northern barbarians. It's a pity that the Tiandaomen who once led the northern Sichuan martial arts disappeared..."

"Speaking of..." Tang Fangzhi said in a deep voice, "The incident of 'Heavenly Knife Killing the Gate' is somewhat similar to the robbery of the Jincheng Security Bureau today. It was also raided at night, and everyone present was also killed. What clues are left behind... until now, we still don't know who the murderer is."

Jiang Shijia only took over the military patrol division of Chengdu Prefecture two years ago, and he didn't have a deep feeling about the extinction of Tiandaomen decades ago. He had read the secret file of the military patrol division before and simply said: "There is no way to do that. At that time My Great Zhou had not yet been established, and the first emperor was busy expelling the northern barbarians, so it was impossible to devote a lot of manpower and material resources to pursue this relatively complicated case. Later, the political situation stabilized, and the Military Patrol Division was established, and the matter was investigated. Unfortunately, the situation has changed and there is no way to investigate it. ..."

"I remember that the 'Heavenly Knife Destruction Gate' incident was raging in Bashu at that time. There were rumors that the martial arts masters sent by Manzi wiped out the Heavenly Knife Gate in retaliation for the Heavenly Knife Gate who had tried their best to prevent the Barbarian army from entering Bashu..." Tang Fangzhi looked at Jiang Shijia said in a deep voice: "There is another rumor that has spread even more widely, saying that it is the Iron Blood Changhe Gate—"

"The incident of 'Heavenly Knife Killing the Gate' has been going on for decades, there is no need to worry about it anymore, let's focus on the Jincheng Escort Bureau."

Jiang Shijia didn't want Tang Fangzhi to talk about Tiandaomen anymore, because he had read the secret files and knew very well: the reason why there was such a rumor back then was because after Ye Wenbo entered Bashu and got the support of the late emperor, he wanted to unify the power of Bashu martial arts people , Against the northern barbarians, among the several sects in the Bashu martial arts, the Qingcheng sect is Taoist, the Emei sect is Buddhist, and the Tang sect has always only focused on its own development. They neither oppose nor support it.The strength of Tiandaomen is not weaker than that of Qingcheng and Emei, especially in the north of Sichuan, it has a high prestige, but it is extremely repulsive for foreign martial arts people to get involved in Bashu martial arts, so it strongly opposes Ye Wenbo's plan, and even the late emperor personally brought Ye Wenbo to the door to negotiate was also rejected.

Later, the northern barbarian army invaded Bashu. In order to prove that the Bashu martial arts were capable of defending their homeland, almost all members of the Tiandaomen were mobilized to help defend the Jiange... After the Tiandaomen were extinct, the Jagged Changhemen also grew rapidly, so they were established in northern Sichuan. There will be this rumor, and there are even rumors that "the late emperor supported this, because Tiandaomen's non-cooperation angered him"... So how dare Jiang Shijia poke this basket.

"Okay." Tang Fangzhi didn't insist, because he also knew how deep the water was. He continued to ponder, and said in a deep tone: "After the Heavenly Knife Gate is destroyed, in the next few decades, although some martial arts of the Heavenly Knife Gate The moves have been circulated in the Bashu martial arts, but the real unique art of Tiandaomen has never appeared in the world, and it is almost lost. But now the man in black who intercepted the Jincheng bodyguard team performed the Tiandao moves, which can kill those who are not weak in martial arts. Xue Hai and Fang Bo, I am afraid that this is the real Heavenly Knife Secret, which just shows that these men in black are related to the incident of "Heavenly Sword Destroying the Gate", because only they can obtain the Heavenly Knife Gate's unique skill."

"But these saber moves only came from the man in black who fought with that child, and the man in black who killed Xue Hai and Fang Bo. It doesn't mean that other men in black can do it. Maybe it's just these men in black or their teachers. The elders of the family participated in the bloody case that year." Huiming raised an objection cautiously.

"It's true that the little guy doesn't have the ability to see the moves of other men in black, but he also mentioned another point. All the men in black he saw held such knives that night." Tang Fangzhi said confidently: "Such a A bandit team that is well-organized and does not leave any traces, I can hardly imagine that its members come from all over the world, all have their own sects and inheritances, they must have undergone special training, and they are likely to use the same martial arts."

"Dozens of bandits with strong martial arts are well-organized, vicious, and secretive. They are lurking in the land of Bashu. Not only are the people afraid, but we are also nervous!" Jiang Shijia sighed heavily. After one sentence, he said: "Furthermore, judging from the scene at the hot spring station, these robbers are also good at climbing mountains, so your judgment, Elder Tang, is... this is probably done by the Qiang people?"

Tang Fangzhi nodded: "All sects and gangs in Bashu are under the jurisdiction of the Military Patrol Division. The gathering and transfer of dozens of people cannot be hidden from our eyes. Only the Qiang people are beyond our reach."

"But..." Jiang Shijia thought about it and said: "The Qiang people's settlements are mainly in the south of Rongzhou and the east of Bazhou. These two places are hundreds of miles away from Jiange. Dozens of people carry weapons through the states In the meantime, it is impossible not to arouse suspicion. Could it be that they have been walking through the mountains... No, then they will spend a long time on the road, but as far as we know, the Jincheng Escorts started receiving darts from the very beginning. It will take more than a month until the final departure, and counting the time when the Qiang people got the news, it is impossible for them to catch up."

Tang Fangzhi replied in a calm tone: "What if they didn't take the mountain road, but the waterway?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shijia's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Are you suspicious of the Qiang people in the south of Rongzhou? ... That's right, that's where the Shu River and the Mahu River meet, and these bandits can just take a boat Go north along the Shu River and finally reach Mianzhou, which is very close to Jiange!"

Tang Fangzhi's voice became louder unconsciously: "The Shu River has always been prosperous, with many boats, and the government's inspection of it is not as strict as on land. It is convenient for those robbers to hide weapons on board, and it is also convenient for them to pretend to be boatmen. Evade interrogation."

"It seems that the Qiang people in the south of Rongzhou are indeed very suspicious!" Seeing that there was a glimmer of hope in solving the case, Jiang Shijia's expression became more dignified, and he said hesitantly: "...But, the southwestern Jimi Prefecture in the south of Rongzhou Although the area belongs to our Great Zhou, the imperial court cannot directly govern it. Instead, it entrusts a number of Qiang tribal leaders to assist the consolation envoys sent by the imperial court to manage it. The dissatisfaction of the Qiang people there caused the situation to become unstable, and it will be our fault at that time, so we can only proceed quietly."
