Chapter Seventy-Three: The Restaurant Is Humiliated

The sky is clear and clear, it is the time when there are no clouds, the eyes are far away, the world is vast and boundless, and people can't help but feel quiet. The grassland is still snow-white, the grass has not yet revealed its green buds, there are occasional cattle and sheep passing by, it seems particularly tranquil, the snow on the distant mountains is very thick, especially the snow on the mountains can be seen every other dozens of miles! At noon, under the sunshine, the scenery in the snow is magnificent, and the heaven and earth are completely one color, and only a piece of silver and white can be seen, as if the whole world is decorated with silver, and it is even more beautiful, indescribable, just like a fairyland on earth.

Before the peak of a rocky beach, a secluded valley appeared in front of you, surrounded by high peaks, and the peaks were connected to the clouds, and there was no way to stand, only a small road at the bottom of the valley could be passed. The valley is in the shape of a pocket, and the mouth of the valley is very small, only one zhang wide, and it is entered by horseback, and there are only four or five people at most. The further you go in, the wider it becomes, and the deepest part is a hundred feet in circumference. The bottom of the valley is full of rocks, chaotic stones and pines, it seems a little chaotic, the big stones are like small mountains, and the small ones are no less than ten thousand!

If ordinary people enter and look at these boulders, they will only feel magnificent, giving birth to a feeling that the world is vast and vast, and mortals are just a small grass on the grassland. This is in line with the charm of Su Dongpo's Chibi Fu, "parasitic mayflies in the heaven and earth, a millet in the sea, mourning the breath of my life, and envying the infinity of the Yangtze River!"!

But it was said that there was a man standing at the mouth of the valley, dressed in a black cloak, holding a letterhead, carrying his hands behind his back, and his posture was leisurely, as if he had come to play. He stood in front of a boulder at the mouth of the valley, looking at the boulder in a silent daze, and there were three big characters written on the boulder, but they were "Solving the Sword Stone"! After a while, this man secretly praised in his heart: "Good character! This character is as big as a grinding plate, but it is as round and transparent as writing on tofu." The hidden edge is slightly exposed, but the front is restricted, and the pen is like a knife and axe, vertical and horizontal, domineering and restrained, and the sword intent is hidden in it! The person who writes is afraid that he is a master!" He seemed to have finally made up his mind, and only heard him say in a loud voice: "In Xia Ying, I was ordered to come to pay a visit to the city lord, and please lead the way in Xia!" This voice is crisp and pleasant, but also tactful and soft, like a yellow bird, and then listen to it like gurgling water, the wind blows the willows, soft and charming, it is actually a woman.

After a long time, I saw a figure appear on a boulder in the valley, and the man said: "Excuse me, girl, it is not difficult to enter the valley, but you need to pass the sword stone first and hand over the blade!"

Huan Ying hesitated slightly, but shook her head, she threw the letterhead in her hand lightly, then turned to leave, and said: "The letter has been delivered, it's up to you whether you look at it or not!" As soon as she turned around, she saw a young man standing a foot away in front of her, and she didn't know when this person came. This young man was about twenty years old, with a long body, about seven feet long, wearing a light Luo robe, an ancient jade around his waist, his hair tied up with a bamboo hairpin, and a scent of wood different from that of the blue musk deer. The clouds on the horizon are gradually closing, and the sky is glazed. The young man's face is like a peach apricot, his posture is leisurely and elegant, and he is still lonely and thin, and his pupils are smart, as if he is as attractive as a crystal bead.

The young man saw that the letterhead was about to land, and stretched out his hand, but the letterhead suddenly flew upside down, like a wired traction, and he gently caught the letterhead. said to Huan Ying: "The girl wants to see the city lord, what is the matter?"

Seeing that he was handsome and elegant, his voice was quite magnetic, and his eyes were as warm as jade, staring straight at him, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed!

"Yes, of course, but everyone already knows about this, and Master has decided to send me south this morning, so the girl won't come for this, right?" asked the young man. Huan Ying glanced at him and said, "The little girl has heard the name of Guiwang City in the south for a long time, and it is rare for her to be ordered to come to deliver the letter today. I wanted to take this opportunity to enter the city to have a look, but this stone formation was really strange, so I didn't dare to go in alone, so I was stopped in front of the formation!" The young man smiled: "Oh!

"Hey, hey, hey, do you know how to enter the valley, don't go!" Seeing that he was leaving, Yu Ying hurriedly stopped him. The young man's figure flashed, and he appeared behind her like a ghost, and the young man reached out and patted her shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "If the girl is fine, don't wait here." If you really want to go in, unless you remove the blade, the senior brother in the formation will not let you in!" Yu Ying exclaimed, holding the sword in both hands, and said with a reluctant face: "Don't want it! My sword was given by the master, and I can't untie it!" As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that the young man was already behind her, and when she reacted, the young man turned away again.

"What a weirdo!" Bin Ying muttered under her breath. She glanced back at the stone henge, and knew that what the young man said was true, so she sighed and left.

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, there have been many brothels in restaurants. Downstairs is the restaurant dining room, upstairs is the Goolan brothel building. Especially in the Song Dynasty, literati and officials in the DPRK and China mostly regarded themselves as romantics, so they preferred this kind of person. After the Ming Dynasty, since Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, there are many people in the brothel, but this restaurant is so, especially in the prosperity, it is inevitably desolate.

However, it is said that Hebei is a famous place, prosperous since ancient times, because it borders Jin, Shandong and Henan, and the economy is more prosperous. Since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Daimyo Mansion began to slowly prosper, especially after the Song Dynasty, the Daimyo Mansion was used as a companion capital, called Beijing, so the vicinity of the Daimyo has always been an ancient battlefield for the Liao and Song dynasties in ancient times.

However, the Daimyo's Mansion has become increasingly desolate recently, and it turns out that there are many wars between the imperial court and the King of Yan, and many men are arrested and strong, and if there are no men, they will ask for food for military use. The city is no longer as densely populated as it used to be, and there are even thieves and bandits who take advantage of the chaos to rob, causing the people's resentment to boil and the people to be miserable.

Although there are fewer people in the Daimyo Castle, the scenery is still the same. The mountains are connected to the lake, the water and the bridge are criss-crossed, and the small bridge on the river in the inner city is more tranquil and comfortable. A small boat passes along the water, and the boat is in the water, just like in a painting. One of them lifted the canopy lightly, as if he could see it, and came out of the cabin and stood in the bow of the boat.

Most of the shops on the shore are open, but there are very few people, a restaurant is built by the water, with a grand atmosphere, and the plaque on the door reads "Yuelai Inn"! The man at the bow of the boat turned back to the cabin and said: "Gui Chen, Sister Mo! It's getting late today, let's rest in this inn for one night, and let's go tomorrow!" The two people in the cabin lifted the curtain and nodded in agreement.

Between the boats, by a small stone arch bridge in the distance, a man and a horse came. I saw that the horse was snow-white, with a divine horse, and the person leading the horse was wearing a red coat, wearing a light veil to cover his face, and a red dress was also tied with a ribbon.

The three people on the boat looked for the stairs near the stone bridge and went ashore, and then slowly walked towards the shop. When he arrived at the store, Xiao Er was very attentive, and guided a few people in, thinking that business was not very good recently, and it was rare to come to such a few people. As soon as a few people sat down, they suddenly heard a loud voice say: "I heard that all factions of the martial arts have been secretly competing for a treasure recently, it's really not lively!"

The three of them turned their eyes and saw more than a dozen strong men sitting on the two tables at the corner of the building, all in tight-fitting clothes, carrying swords and swords, and their faces were full of murderous energy. One of the people at the table asked, "What kind of treasure?" that all the sects and factions came to fight. ”

When the man saw that everyone had looked over, he suddenly felt more faced, took a sip of wine, and said slowly: "Of course it's the Wind and Snow Qiankun Fan!" He looked around, and then said: "I heard that this fan is the portable blade of the "Wind God", and it is now in the hands of the Li family in Nanjing, but a few days ago, there was a big battle, and the Wind and Snow Qiankun Fan was taken away!"

The man on the side asked: "Jia Yong, is your news reliable? Isn't it just a fan? What is there to fight about?" Jia Yong said: "You have not seen it! Jia's news came from Nanjing, can it be unreliable? That fan is a god soldier in the world, it is said that decades ago, the previous generation of "wind gods" held a fan to incarnate all things, the creation of heaven and earth, and no one in the world could match it. This doesn't count, more importantly, the fan is still a key!" The world has an inexplicable curiosity about unknown secrets, and when others heard this, they were all interested, and hurriedly asked: "What key?" Jia Yong smiled mysteriously and said slowly: "Naturally, it is the treasure of the dragon bone land! A month ago, news suddenly came out that someone had found the treasure of the dragon bone land in Qilian Mountain, and everyone followed it for a while!" It's just a treasure, although my old Hu is not a king and grandson, but he also has thousands of family wealth, fighting for this treasure, I have a rare experience. ”

Jia Yong snorted and said, "If you only have money, how can you provoke so many people to fight for it?" "Oh? what else?" Jia Yong took a sip of wine before he said again: "Of course! I got the exact news that there is a peerless martial arts secret book in it, and it can be invincible in the world." "Is it really fake?" Jia Yong saw everyone's doubts on their faces, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Then think about it, it is always a fact that the "Wind God" dominated the world with its martial arts decades ago, right?" Everyone nodded secretly when they heard this, after all, the legend of the "Wind God" is well known.

Yisu looked at them and saw that everyone looked excited, as if the treasure was close at hand. He suddenly whispered: "I have heard Master say that the sinister part of this dragon bone land is by no means something that ordinary people can enter and exit, especially the guardian beasts in it are even more difficult to deal with, if these people go, I am afraid that they will kill themselves." Let's not get involved with them, let's go to Nanjing first!"

A group of people on the opposite side also felt strange when they looked at Yisu and the three of them, and couldn't help but secretly pay attention. It turned out that the three of them, two laymen and one monk, two men and one woman, and said that the other two were dressed normally, but Guichen was dressed in a mink brocade robe, wrapped tightly and tightly, as if there was no trace of wind coming in. Looking at his pale face again, there is a different kind of sickness, which makes people feel a little distressed! .

Let's say that the three of them ordered wine and food by themselves, and no longer paid attention to everyone in the store. Everyone saw that the dishes ordered by Guichen and his party were quite sumptuous, but whether it was dishes or wine, they were all warmed by fire! For a while, they saw that there were not many dishes on the table, but the small stoves used to warm the wine dishes were piled up on the table.

Jia Yong saw that the three of them were eating quite peculiarly, Yumo ate very little, and most of the time he was warming wine and vegetables for Guichen, even when he ate by himself, he also looked at Guichen silently, his eyes were gentle and quiet, as if there was a kind of cold wind outside the door and a warm breeze blowing. He looked at the three of them, and then at Yumo, and suddenly felt a sour heart, and said in a jealous voice: "These people, life is good, obviously they are a waste, and some people treat him as a treasure, as good as something!"

When the people at the same table saw him speak, they looked left and right, and asked, "Why did my brother say this?" Jia Yong raised his chin and said, "Now! If you have a meal, you still need someone to wait, isn't it a waste? But this little lady is really good-looking! It's a pity to ration this waste, hahahahaha!" Before he could speak, Yumo was already furious, slapped the table, and scolded: "You are so unreasonable, what do you say in your mouth! Jia Yong laughed and said: "The little lady is still angry!" Lao Tzu just told the truth, what's wrong? Look at you like this, isn't it the little lady who is newly married Yan'er, your father-in-law has been hollowed out by you, so you take care of your father-in-law in every way!"

The so-called speaker is unintentional, and the hearer is intentional, although Yumo is a northern woman, she has never cared about these, but at this moment she is still ashamed and angry by him, her face is as red as a peach, and she is so angry that she stomps her feet again and again. Guichen was not annoyed or angry, gently took Yumo's hand, and said: "Aunt Yumo, we are self-purifying, how can we be as knowledgeable as these unreasonable people who chew the root of their tongues, you can sit down for a while." As soon as he had finished speaking, he picked up the flask himself and poured a glass of wine for Yisu.

Seeing this, Yisu had to sigh, picked up the wine glass, got up and said to the person at the table: "There are many insults to my brother and sister between your words, and please apologize, let's forget about this matter!"

Seeing that he looked immature and old-fashioned, everyone in the room was dumbfounded for a while, and pointed at him and said: "Okay, you are a little monk who does not abide by the rules, you don't recite scriptures in the temple, but you run out to drink wine and eat meat, we haven't talked about you yet, you come to complain that I am coming!" Yisu was not angry or annoyed, and said to Guichen: "These people are too unreasonable and annoying, so annoying, why don't I drive them out." Guichen didn't look at the table much, just nodded and said, "It's okay! ”

Suddenly, a gust of wind broke out, the whistling sound was urgent, a millet and Yumo glanced at it, and more than a dozen bamboo chopsticks flew straight to the two tables one after another. When he turned around, he heard the people at the two tables screaming, and everyone put their hands on their right hands and jumped up.

At this time, it turned out that those people had a bamboo chopstick nailed to the back of their right hand, and the bamboo chopsticks were only half exposed, which was obviously quite heavy. Jia Yong was bleeding from himself at the moment, and his head was also drenched in cold sweat, and he was scolding: "Who is it?

"A group of scum in the rivers and lakes, only know how to bully women and children, weak and cruel, and make jokes in vain, how can they dare to speak out?" Everyone looked for prestige, and there was a woman in red with a light veil sitting on the vermilion lacquer beam, although the woman was wearing a veil, she could still vaguely see her beautiful appearance, a pair of slender calves dangling outside, although she was a woman, she was wearing fast boots, and her feet were not as petite as ordinary boudoir women.

Jia Yong saw that it was a little girl who made the shot, and there was even more contempt between his words, so he immediately slapped the table, got up and said angrily: "Okay, you little girl, you dare to plot against the uncle, you are looking for death!" Seeing that his right hand was injured, he pulled out a long knife from the side of the table with his left backhand, and threw it out with his hand.

Look at this Jia Yong's left hand out of the knife, the martial arts are not weak, this long knife is seven or eight catties, he actually used the knife as a hidden weapon, and the long knife is urgent, the sound of breaking the air is piercing, and the strength attached to the knife is not small.

Seeing this, the woman in red did not panic, only to see her smile slightly, and her right hand pulled out a short sword from her waist, and with the power of this flick, the short sword slapped on the tip of the long knife, as if it was a slap, and the long knife was pulled back. Seeing that the long knife was castrated like a meteor, everyone in the room didn't have time to react, and the long knife was nailed to the table.

Yumo turned his head and whispered to the two: "This little girl is skillful, see her draw her sword, draw her knife, and return the sheath, all in one go, and she is also very good at concealing her weapons, and her eyes are accurate, I don't know which sect and which school she is a master?" Yisu smiled and said: "We have only met this little girl, it is the woman who led the white horse who entered the store first!" Guichen remembered that he had seen her near the small stone bridge just now, and arched his hand: "Thank you girl for helping, I wonder if the girl would like to come down and have a drink?" ”

When Jia Yong saw this girl showing such a hand, he was already timid in his heart, but people in the rivers and lakes generally take face very seriously, and this Jia Yong is even more so, he knows that if he quietly retreats at this moment, he will not have to mix in the rivers and lakes in the future. I saw him grit his teeth, pulled out the bamboo chopsticks on his hand, ignored his bleeding right hand, lifted the long knife on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Little girl, Jia's subordinates don't kill unknown people, hurry up and report their names." ”

"Hey, you don't know what to do!" The girl glanced at him and scolded: "If this girl didn't make a move, she would have been slaughtered by others with your little dog handle, but at this time you still came to blame me!" Everyone saw that although this girl was young and quite immature, but at a glance in her eyes, she had her own style, and then listened to this girl's crisp voice, like a kingfisher singing, and couldn't help but feel a little more good.

Jia Yong is not new to the rivers and lakes, as soon as he heard this, he savored it, and hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see that Yumo's face was silent, but the light in his eyes was hidden, obviously he had moved to kill, he knew that the hand of the girl in red was above him, and he was afraid that what she said was true, so he hurriedly said: "Lao Tzu still has something, you are lucky today, let's go!" Everyone saw him roaring, and they all rushed to leave, looking at that appearance, as if hating their parents for giving them two legs.

At this time, an old man begging suddenly came outside the store, Jia Yong walked in a hurry and didn't pay attention, and the two almost bumped into each other. Jia Yong was already holding back the fire in his belly, but at this moment, he didn't wait for the old man to speak, he had already slapped out, and said angrily: "You old guy, don't you have eyes?" The old man was old and inconvenient, so he turned around on the spot, his cheeks were swollen and high, and he fell straight down.

When Guichen saw him doing this, he was furious, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Presumptuous!" Yisu was beside him, and before he could say more, he had already slapped it with his palm. The two of them were separated by about two zhang, only to see a golden light suddenly appear in Yisu's hand, and a sound of gold and jade sounded, Jia Yong had already been slapped, seeing him fly backwards and far, tumbling a few times, and finally falling. It was also at this time that everyone knew that what the woman in red said was true, the three of them had profound martial arts, and they had just tolerated it a little before. The people who traveled with him, afraid that they would act again, hurriedly picked up Jia Yong and left quickly.

Guichen got up and helped the old man up, brought him to the table and told the shopkeeper to bring a towel, and took out the wound medicine he carried with him for the old man to use, and took good care of it; the girl in red suddenly jumped down from the beam, walked to the table and sat down, this time a few people just saw her figure exposed, Aro's figure, Miaoman's figure, white as jade skin, faintly exuding the fragrance of a girl, only to see her suddenly sneered: "You are kind! Guichen was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed: "Xiao Ke has always been weak and blind, if it weren't for the careful care of his family, I'm afraid that he would have been overwhelmed and committed suicide." Seeing this old man being humiliated today, I unconsciously felt a little uncomfortable! When the woman in red saw him admit his own affairs, she did not shy away from it, and obviously did not treat her as an outsider, so she hurriedly apologized: "Oh! There are many offends between Fang Cai's words, please forgive me!"

When the old man heard this, he seemed to feel more restrained, so he wanted to get up, Guichen pressed him back to his seat, and said with a smile: "Don't blame the old man, Xiao Ke is just a little emotional for a while." If you don't like it, please eat here. Yisu also nodded and said, "The old man doesn't have to be polite, just eat as you like." The old man seemed to be a little embarrassed, and his hands tightly tugged at the corners of his clothes, for embarrassment: "Little Lao'er is dirty, how dare you sit with Miss Childe, Miss Childe will give me a few steamed buns." Yumo looked at Guichen and said, "Old man, let's eat first! I'll let the store prepare it for you again, there is still some silver here, you can use it later." As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and shoved it into his hand.

The woman in red saw that the three of them were so kind to this unknown old man, her face slowly became a little weird, she seemed to have something in her heart, and the three of them didn't respond to her. After a while, he finally got up slowly, and saluted them: "This girl still has something to do, so I won't delay with a few people, we will have a date later!"

Guichen hurriedly said, "Girl, slow down, but am I lazy?" The woman tilted her head and said, "No......! You're all good people!" said and quickly walked away without looking back. Guichen said again: "May I ask the girl's name, see ...... next time" Yisu pulled Guichen over, pressed him, and said in a low voice: "This woman has just revealed her murderous aura, I'm afraid she came prepared, don't keep her." Guichen was surprised: "She...... Why do you want to kill us?" Yisu also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Yumo suddenly said strangely: "Return to the dust, you can't walk when you see a beautiful girl." When Guichen saw her say this, his face suddenly turned red, and he said warmly: "How can Aunt Yumo say this?" He was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "How does this woman feel so familiar." When Yisu heard this, he also said: "Yes! There is indeed a sense of déjà vu, otherwise I would not have let her go." ”
