Extra 4: Master Jade's Gamble (1)
One
Master Jade is dead!
This astonishing news immediately spread like the wind through the rivers and lakes.
Many people don't believe it. Because similar news has been spread more than once, and each time it has been vividly transmitted, even where the jade, gold and silver died, how to die, and whether the head was carried around the neck when he died, all of which were said with noses and eyes, and the words of the herald were chiseled, and the mouth was foaming, and the listeners were stunned and nodded. It's just that every time it is always rumored that the foam of the mouth has not dried, Yujin Yin has appeared alive again, squinting a pair of small eyes, grinning and smiling, looking proud that he can't be killed.
This kind of thing is repeated too many times, and everyone doesn't believe it very much, and some people even think that jade, gold and silver will never die.
If you understand a little bit about Yujinyin's experience, you will find that this person is really not easy to die.
The Yu family is very rich, very, very rich, someone once used the family wealth to compliment the old lady Yu, the old lady just smiled slightly, and casually ordered the housekeeper to give him a trip to do business, but in less than three years, this person can actually "wrap 100,000 yuan around the waist and ride a crane down to Yangzhou".
Yu Jinyin is the only son of the old lady Yu, who has been restless and self-conscious since he was a child, and often runs out for months before returning home. Every time I go home, I always have a lot of scars on my body. There were several times when the old lady Yu asked someone to carry them back, and after carrying them back, she lay on the bed, and the longest one was seven months. However, most of this was before he was twenty years old. After the age of twenty, Yujin Yin rarely went out, and stayed at home all day, and no one knew what he was doing. Some people say that they are studying, some people say that they are practicing martial arts, and some people say that they are married to a few women who are like flowers and jade, and they are dedicated to adding a few more grandchildren to the Yu family. This is not nonsense, a huge family property, it is always appropriate to get a few more people to spend it.
Three years later, Yu Jinyin went out again, as if to confirm the rumors of studying, he participated in the autumn examination of that year, and got a golden plaque to give Jinshi and the first to come back. This made the old lady Deyu very happy, and she feasted for thirty days in a row, inviting almost all the people in the city. Since then, Jade Gold and Silver have become Jade Lords. The friends on the rivers and lakes can't help but feel a little sad, thinking that from now on there will be more masters in the officialdom and fewer heroes on the rivers and lakes. Who knew that not long after, Master Yu ran out again, single-handedly, and tied up the "Helan Seven Tigers", a thief who had been rampant in the northwest for more than ten years, into seven big browns overnight.
When Master Yu was twenty-five years old, Old Lady Jade passed away, and Master Yu's true ability was revealed. It only took him less than a year to spend all the wealth of the Yu family, and there was not even a single brick left. Then he went to Shaolin Temple to cut out his family and became a monk, and a year later he returned to the world, and the position before returning to the world was second only to the abbot of the Shaolin Temple. Since then, he has wandered the rivers and lakes, sometimes with the peddlers and pawns, competing with others for the five cents of a baked cake; sometimes he is a guest of dignitaries and nobles, Zhong Ming Ding eats, and throws thousands of gold; sometimes he argues with the martial arts giants on the cliff and talks about martial arts; sometimes he fights wits and courage with the giants of the rivers and lakes, and seeks victory in danger. He has probably experienced more things than most people have heard in their lives.
Master Yu's whereabouts are erratic, and he is recognized as one of the ten most mysterious people in the rivers and lakes. It seems that no matter when and where, he can suddenly appear, and then suddenly disappear in the most unexpected way. Some people say that his billions of fortunes have not actually been dispersed, but have been replaced with real money and silver and hidden; perhaps in a few decades, the treasures of Master Yu will become the hottest topic in the rivers and lakes; some people say that he is actually one of the largest shareholders of the "Yuanji" of the Hui merchant consortium; some people say that he is the big boss of the "Heavenly Dao Hall" who is a chivalrous and powerful underworld organization; and some people even say that he is the leader of the "Demon Sect" that has shown signs of resurgence in recent years.
There are different opinions, and there is no consensus.
But there is one thing that everyone knows, that is, Master Jade's hobby!
Master Jade is a good gambler!
As long as he hears a gambling word, Master Yu will be in good spirits.
Not long ago, Yu Jinyin gambled with someone again. The opponent is said to be Mr. Fukuji, the big boss of "Genji". The gamble is very simple, as long as he goes to Miaojiang and picks a "blood lingzhi" and returns it to "Yuanji", he will win. The time is a month.
"Blood Lingzhi" is the antidote of Miao Jiang, which only appears once in decades, and has the effect of reviving the dead. Therefore, "Blood Lingzhi" is regarded as the treasure of the "Five Poisons Sect", and the place where it grows is also the location of the main altar of the "Five Poisons Sect". For many years, the SC Tang Sect did not hesitate to take risks to provoke the "Five Poisons Sect" for the sake of "Blood Lingzhi", robbing openly and secretly, and losing twenty or thirty lives in that wild place infested with poisonous insects and rampant miasma, so far it has ended up empty-handed.
This game seems simple, but it is actually unpredictable, so the major gambling games have opened a "one to three" handicap. That is to say, if you bet on "Yuan Ji" to win, you can only win one or two, and if you lose, you will lose three taels.
Despite this, almost all the red tickets received by the major gambling games are betting on the "source of the record" to win, and there are very few people who bet on the jade master, it seems that the rivers and lakes are always so realistic, even if it is jade, gold and silver, even if he has had a hundred times of escaping from death and the experience of turning evil into good fortune, it cannot change this cold rule.
It's just that since it's a gambling game, someone bets, and someone has to bet, otherwise, this gambling game can't be maintained. So not long after, a news came out from the largest casino in the six northern provinces, "Good Luck", that someone had eaten all the bets on "Yuan Ji".
Among these bold people, it is said that there is Lin Qiaoer, the master of the "Heavenly Dao Hall".
No one knows how many masters there are in the "Tiandao Hall", Lin Qiaoer is one of them who has appeared in public, and in recent years, she has often been with Master Yu. There is a rumor that Lin Qiaoer is actually Master Yu's lover.
Either way, the gamble has already begun. As long as there is a beginning, there will be an ending, and as soon as the ending comes out, many people will become rich overnight, while others will become nothing overnight.
Everyone is anxiously awaiting this ending.
The ending is - Master Jade loses!
Yujin Yin not only lost this time, but also lost his life, whether others believed it or not, his coffin had been shipped back.
Two
When everyone agreed that Master Yu was already a dead man, Yu Jinyin didn't know that he was a dead man.
At least the dead don't eat bacon.
Yu Jinyin was lying in the rattan chair, a pair of barefoot girls resting high on the bamboo table, casually grabbing a large piece of bacon from a plate next to him and stuffing it into his mouth, his cheeks bulging one by one, and the dark red meat oil flowed down the corners of his mouth.
The rattan chair is made of Miaojiang's special product "Khan Qing Teng", which is cool and flexible, and the bacon is also a special product of Miaojiang - "cured roe meat". With these two things, you can guess that Master Yu is actually still in Miaojiang, but he has left the deep mountains of Miaojiang and arrived in a small market town with a large population.
But this small town called "Xiangjiaji" has been returned to the king and is not under the control of the "Five Poisons Sect". In other words, Master Yu has actually returned from Miaojiang.
He won!
Yu Jinyin swallowed a large mouthful of meat and sighed contentedly. He grabbed another piece of meat and looked at it repeatedly, as if admiring a rare treasure. The flesh is white and red, with the color of agate, facing the window, and even a ray of light can pass through, compared with a fine boutique, it seems that it is not too worried.
Yu Jinyin focused on admiring the piece of cured roe meat, and for a long time, he was ready to put it in his mouth with a look of love and pity.
At this time, a huge black shadow appeared at the door.
When this black shadow completely entered the door, Master Yu saw clearly that it was not one person who came in, but three people. To be precise, it was two little girls who were holding on to the other.
In fact, these two little girls are not small, the body wrapped in translucent silk has been fully developed, and the place that should be protruding will never be concave, and the place that should be concave will never be protruding. And he has bright eyes and bright teeth, and he is radiant, and any man can't help but want to take a few more looks when he sees it.
Master Yu didn't look at them. His gaze rested on the man they were holding on.
Compared with the two little girls around him, this person is really not good-looking, only four feet seven or eight tall at most, the sparse yellow hair on his head can be seen to have been carefully combed, but it is still like the wrinkles on his face, curled into strange shapes, the whole head is like an air-dried grapefruit, leaning softly on the shoulder of a little girl, coughing one after another in his throat, as if he may not be able to breathe in at any time, so he whimpered and lamented.
But Yu Jinyin looked at him with a look in his eyes, clearly like facing a wild beast from ancient times, and the two small eyes burst out with a needle-like light.
If the two little girls formed a knife holder, this old man was the treasure knife on the shelf that drank countless blood.
The knife was still in its sheath, but it couldn't hide the murderous aura.
There are not too many people in the rivers and lakes who can make Yu Jinyin feel uncomfortable, and this old man is undoubtedly one, and he is one of the few people who make him the most uncomfortable.
"It's you!" said Yu Jinyin.
The old man nodded, coughing incessantly as he nodded, as if he didn't even have the strength to say a word more.
"You may be seated!"
The old man nodded again and sat down on the bamboo table in front of the rattan chair. Because the only rattan chair in the room was occupied by Master Yu, and Master Jade had no intention of getting up and giving up his seat. As soon as he sat down, one of the little girls immediately gave him a thump on the back, and another squatted down and gently pinched his thighs for him.
"Good boy!" Yu Jinyin smiled and said, "It seems that you still have a very good eye for choosing women." ”
The old man shook his head, gasped, and said, "They are good children, but they are not good women. Compared to the one you brought out in the mountains, they can't be called women at all. ”
Master Yu couldn't help but glance to the side, there was a bathroom in that direction, and the sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.
The old man also looked at the bathroom, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "To be honest, Master Yu, I envy you." Why do good women always let you bump into them?" The strange thing is that when he doesn't speak, he coughs non-stop, and when he speaks, he doesn't cough anymore.
"I'm lucky!" Yu Jinyin obviously didn't want to continue the topic, so she withdrew her eyes from the bathroom, pushed the roe deer meat in front of the old man, and said, "Come a little?"
"It's old, and this kind of thing is not easy to consume. It's better to keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly!"
"I can't eat it either. ”
"Why? You've always had a good appetite. ”
"Because I'm nervous. I couldn't eat when I was nervous. ”
"Why are you nervous?"
"Because of you!"
"Because of me?" the old man laughed, like the sound of a huqin that had not been touched for decades. Laughing and laughing, he coughed again, coughing so much that he could barely breathe. It was a long, long time before he raised his head, gasped and said, "I'm already very old, so old that I don't even have the strength to kill myself, how can I still make Master Yu nervous?"
Yu Jinyin said indifferently: "There is a kind of person, as long as he still has a breath of gasping, it will make people nervous, and he will be so nervous that he can't sleep." ”
"Am I that kind of person?"
"Is your name Zhao Tianba?"
There is no doubt that Zhao Tianba, who is "a sword swinging Kyushu", is the kind of person who will make people nervous and unable to sleep at any time, even though he is old.
Zhao Tianba giggled, and squinted his eyes just like Yu Jinyin.
"But I don't have a sword in my hand now. I have nothing in my hands. ”
"That's why I'm here to talk to you. ”
"Or what?"
"Otherwise, I'll be gone as soon as you come in. I've never been slow to walk. ”
Zhao Tianba smiled: "That's good, great." In that case, can we talk a little bit more and discuss something?"
"What's the matter?"
Zhao Tianba's leaning body stretched forward hard, raised the withered old face, and said in a low voice, "Can I kill you once?"
The corners of Yu Jinyin's eyes twitched, and she smiled: "What kind of killing?"
"It doesn't matter how you kill you. The important thing is that after I kill you, you have to be a dead man. Or, at least, look like a dead man. ”
Yu Jinyin remained silent and asked, "Why should I be a dead man?"
Zhao Tianba said: "I heard that you never ask why you do things, as long as you meet three conditions, the first is that this matter must be very interesting......
"Then tell me, what's interesting about this?" Yu Jinyin interrupted him. Sure, it's rude, but for someone who is asked to be dead, the occasional rudeness doesn't seem too much.
"Everyone can only die once, isn't it? Even if it's you, Master Jade, you can't be an exception, isn't it?" Zhao Tianba stared at Yu Jinyin with a pair of cloudy eyes, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face, "But what if you could die one more time?" Think about it, when you suddenly jump out of the coffin, will everyone be startled? Especially ...... Miss Lin Qiao'er, Miss Lin!"
Yu Jinyin thought about it very seriously, and smiled unconsciously: "In this way, it also has a little taste." And what about the second one?"
The second rule of Master Yu's "Three Principles in Trouble" is "This matter must be good for me"!
"People always have some friends in life. It's just that if you want to see the true colors of these friends, it may be after you die. ”
Jade, gold and silver were pounding. People in the rivers and lakes, if you can really see the friends around you clearly, wouldn't it be a happy thing?
"You seem to have some truth in what you said, and I'm almost moved by what you said. It's a pity that I'm not in a good mood right now!"
The last and most important one of Master Yu's "Three Principles in Trouble" - "I want Master Ben to be in a good mood"!
Zhao Tianba giggled, the criss-crossing wrinkles on his face squeezed into a piece of air-dried orange peel: "You just came out of the poisonous nest of the 'Five Poison Sect', and you also picked the treasure of the town gang 'Blood Lingzhi', not only did you not become a blackened corpse, but you didn't even lose a single hair, how could you be in a bad mood? Now that you have won the second hand of Fu again, you will immediately have a large amount of money, how can you be in a bad mood? The most important thing is ......" Zhao Tianba pointed to the bathroom, sighed and said, "That's it" The Holy Maiden of the Five Poisons Sect is really a woman among women! Such good luck, such a good blessing, young man, why are you embarrassed to talk nonsense with your eyes open in front of my old man?"
Jade, gold and silver have nothing to say.
Although he has done many strange things, he still can't do such a thing as deceiving an old man who is about to die.
Since the proposal of others is completely in line with his "three principles", Master Yu can't refuse, not to mention, he himself thinks this matter is a bit interesting.
So he became a dead man.
Three
When Xiang Yang came out of the bathroom, he saw that Yujin Yin, who was still alive just now, was already lying there upright, and a middle-aged man in his forties was very skillful in wrapping strips of fine white linen cloth around him.
Xiang Yang is the woman that Yujin Yin brought out from Miao Jiang, as Zhao Tianba said, her identity is the holy daughter of the "Five Poisons Sect".
As soon as Xiang Yang appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on her, and even the two little girls who had been serving Zhao Tianba with low eyebrows couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they saw her, and they didn't expect that there really was such a pure and elegant woman in the world.
Xiang Yang smiled at everyone a little shyly, then looked at Yu Jinyin and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Yu Jinyin also looked at her intently, and her gaze and tone unconsciously softened: "It's nothing, it's just a game with people." ”
"Game?" Xiang Yang immediately became excited, his clear eyes shining, "Isn't it fun?"
"Fun. ”
"Can you take me along?"
"Well, this is an adult's game, you can just watch from the sidelines. ”
"Oh. Xiang Yang nodded, and sure enough, he stayed by the side obediently and stopped talking. I just looked a little disappointed.
Zhao Tianba sighed, and the old eyes that saw through the red dust and were not shocked, there was actually a trace of love: "It is said that the holy women of the 'Five Poisons Sect' have been selected since childhood, and in order to ensure absolute purity, they have been isolated from the world since they were selected, just like raising a canary, until one day they sacrifice her to the sun. Looks like this legend is true?"
"They worship the sun, so the name of each generation of sacrificial saints is called Xiangyang. ”
This rule is indeed a bit cruel.
"Everybody says you don't like to kill people, but this time you don't seem to have any mercy...... The elders in the sect plus the sect leader, there is not a single one left, tsk...... I'm afraid that the Five Poisons Sect will be difficult to recover for decades. ”
Yu Jinyin said coldly: "Only for those who don't deserve to die, can we talk about mercy to our subordinates." ”
Zhao Tianba nodded, and began to cough violently again.
The sackcloth wrapped around Yujinyin's neck, and her breathing became a little rapid. At this time, his whole body was tightly bound by this narrow and tough white linen, like a dried corpse.
Zhao Tianba comforted him and said, "Don't worry, you will get used to it soon." I have inquired, this is the finest linen, and the stone master I invited is also the best in the 'Xiangjia Town'. He's been in this business for twenty years, and no customer has ever said that his craft is not good. Isn't that so, Master Shi?"
Master Shi smiled innocently, raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and was speechless.
Yu Jinyin couldn't help but smile and said, "Thinking about Master Shi's previous patrons, no one can speak yet." ”
Master Shi wiped his sweat again and muttered, "Dead people, all, all dead people......"
Yu Jinyin couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in her heart. He had experienced so many deaths in his life that he couldn't even count them, but the casual words of this shroud in the remote mountains still made him feel a strong breath of death. He suddenly hesitated.
Zhao Tianba seemed to sense his hesitation, and slowly stretched out a finger that was as thin as a chicken claw, and lightly touched his Zhitang acupoint. Yu Jinyin immediately became erect all over his body, and even his tongue began to stiffen.
Master Shi tied a knot of the sackcloth behind the jade, gold and silver neck, stepped aside, kept wiping the sweat rolling down his forehead, secretly glanced at Zhao Tianba, and took two steps back. Although he didn't know who this thin and withered old man was, he obviously felt that the farther away he was, the better.
Zhao Tianba's face was solemn, he opened the eyelids of Yu Jinyin, and carefully embedded two extremely delicately polished crystal flakes into his eye sockets, and Yu Jinyin's eyes immediately became as muddy and dull as dead fish.
"It's the last time, but you have to bear with it, it may not taste good. Zhao Tianba said, poured out an emerald green pill from a small bottle, and gently put it into Yujinyin's mouth.
Yu Jinyin immediately felt a strong rancid smell rushing to the top of his head, as if he had been stuffed into a piece of stinky meat that had rotted for seven or eight days, his mouth was full of foul smell, and his stomach was turned upside down.
"As I said, it doesn't taste very good. Since you were poisoned by the 'Five Poison Sect', it doesn't make sense that your mouth shouldn't be full of fragrance. ”
Zhao Tianba let out a long breath, as if admiring a peerless boutique, carefully looked at the jade, gold and silver, and even stretched out his hand to touch his face, and finally revealed a smug smile from the corner of his mouth.
Xiang Yang looked at all this, although she didn't understand the world, but she also knew that this was definitely not a good thing, her bright big eyes showed a look of horror, and she pointed to Yu Jinyin and asked timidly: "He...... What's wrong with him? Is he dead?"
Zhao Tianba shook his head with a smile and said softly, "No, he just fell asleep." ”
"And when will he wake up?"
"When it's time to wake up, it's time to wake up. ”
Four
The jade, gold and silver mourning hall was solemnly arranged, without the slightest intention of rushing to completion, as if it had been prepared for a long time, just waiting for the protagonist to appear on stage.
Of course, Master Yu is the protagonist of this mourning hall. For many years, he has long been accustomed to being the protagonist. It's just that it's the first time like today, lying upright in the coffin, letting everyone pay their respects.
His ears could hear, and his eyes were open. When he and Zhao Tianba discussed how to die, he raised objections to this point. He felt that closing his eyes was more like a dead man.
"If your eyes are open, it means that you are very unwilling to die, and people like you, no matter who kills you, will be very unwilling, right? Zhao Tianba smiled, "Besides, if you close your eyes, you won't be able to see the expressions of your friends." ”
Master Jade didn't have many friends.
It's no wonder that he died so suddenly that many of his friends haven't gotten any definite news yet. Even if you knew, you wouldn't be able to get here for a while. Those who can get the news in such a short time and arrive in time are by no means ordinary people.
The first to mourn the jade master was Fan Qingshan, and the mourning hall of jade gold and silver was located in the "Miaobi Villa". Everyone knows that Fan Qingshan, a "wonderful pen", is a friend of Master Yu. It is said that he is also one of the masters of the "Heavenly Daodo".
Facing the body of his good friend, Fan Qingshan, who has always acted calmly, was still unfazed on his face. But those who are familiar with him will find that Fan Miaobi, who is like a jade god of wind, has a long beard like ink jade in the past, and it has become a little white overnight.
After Fan Qingshan finished mourning the jade, gold and silver alone, he stood silently beside the coffin and gave salutes to the other people who came to mourn one by one.
It wasn't until this moment that Yujin Yin, who was lying in the coffin, suddenly discovered that he didn't even have a close relative in this world. The variety of rivers and lakes made him ignore this. Yu Jinyin never imagined that the taste of loneliness turned out to be so uncomfortable.
One after another, a number of people came to pay their respects. These powerful martial arts heroes bowed like a ceremony in front of the mourning hall, and the etiquette was also thoughtful. It's just that after bowing, they greet each other, and they make a cold noise in twos and threes, and even let out a soft laugh.
Most of them came here just to confirm whether the Jade Master, who was known as "unbeatable", was really dead. After this is confirmed, the jade, gold and silver have nothing to do with them. Although this man was even more famous than them when he was alive. But when they die, they are no different from any dead person, and it is not worth wasting too much of their time. The reason why everyone is still here is just to see how the gamble between Master Yu and "Yuan Ji" ends.
This is what they have to do with it.
There were only three exceptions.
One is Ying Muye, the third master of Ying.
Ying Muye's body is tall, his expression is majestic, and his facial contours are like a knife and axe, which makes people think of the heroic people who are generous and sad on the land of Yan Zhao at first sight. But he is an authentic Huainan native, and the most outstanding master since the establishment of the Huainan "Eagle Claw Gate" faction. It is precisely because of Ying Muye that the "Eagle Claw Gate", which was originally withered, has become one of the most famous families in just over ten years.
As soon as he stepped into the mourning hall, the tycoons of the rivers and lakes who had been whispering fell silent. Ying Muye was born with this kind of intimidating momentum.
Ying Muye ignored the full hall of Jianghu tycoons, did not bow and salute, walked straight to the coffin, stared at the jade gold and silver in the coffin for a long time, and poured down the huge head, almost touching the nose of the jade gold and silver.
The eyes of Jade Gold and Silver reflected a bleak light in the candlelight.
After a long time, Ying Muye slowly raised his head, looked around blankly, and sat down on a chair like a wooden man. The knife-like face is engraved with deep sorrow.
But he should have been happy.
Because Ying Muye is the second leader of "Yuanji", and the arm that Mr. Fuji, the big boss of "Yuanji", relies on the most. The external affairs of "Yuan Ji" are all handled by him. In this gambling game, it was he who came forward to face off with Master Yu on behalf of "Yuan Ji". Prior to this, Yujin Yin had won against Ying Muye three times in a row.
With Ying Muye's status in the rivers and lakes, such a failure is really a loss of face.
Now that Yujin and Yin are dead, why is the third master Ying, who is the biggest winner, not the slightest bit happy?
As soon as Ying Muye sat down, someone immediately came over to greet him. Ying Muye ignored it completely, and everyone had to step aside in mockery. There was only one person, who was not interested, and was still congratulating Ying Sanye.
"Get out!" said Ying Muye coldly.
"Third Master, what did you say?" the man asked in surprise. He is the head of a small gang, and he can be regarded as a famous person in the rivers and lakes, no one has ever said such a thing to him, and he thinks he heard it wrong.
"Get out!" Ying Muye said again, and the voice was so loud that it shook the mourning hall and buzzed.
"Ying Laosan, don't be too arrogant!" the man jumped up, pointed at Ying Muye's nose and yelled, "Others are afraid of you, Lao Tzu...... Oh ......" Before he finished speaking, his huge body had already flown out of the mourning hall.
The second exception is Shu Hongbo.
"Wisdom Shu Hongbo, wonderful pen Fan Qingshan. ”
Shu Hongbo is recognized as a "think tank" in martial arts. He has a clear face, a tall figure, his gray hair is meticulously combed, and his moon-white robe is extremely clean and tidy whenever and wherever he is, and his whole body exudes a strong bookish atmosphere. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that his martial arts are extremely high, but no one can say how high it is. Because Shu Hongbo uses his brain and mouth a lot, he rarely uses his hands.
When Ying Muye threw the guy who made him angry, Shu Hongbo was about to enter the door.
Seeing that the man was about to fall to the ground, Shu Hongbo frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to support his waist, helped him stand firmly, and said lightly: "Xie Gang Master, when Third Master Ying is not in a good mood, it is best not to provoke him." ”
Gang Master Xie was shocked, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Shu Hongbo's popularity is very good, as soon as he enters the door, everyone rushes to greet him, and for a while, the greetings of "Shu Weng, don't come to harm" in the mourning hall are endless. Shu Hongbo's face was solemn, and he nodded in return, but his eyes stayed on the black coffin, and he never left for a moment. Like Ying Muye, he observed the jade, gold and silver in the coffin very carefully.
Seeing Shu Hongbo, Yujin Yin was also taken aback. Although his breath-holding kung fu is very good, Zhao Tianba's acupoint technique has also reached the peak of perfection, but it is not easy to hide from Shu Hongbo. Shu Hongbo is not only wise, but also proficient in medicine.
Shu Hongbo had an extra sparkling silver needle in his hand, and it seemed that he was about to prick a few needles on Master Yu's body. The first needle was pierced in the "Jizhong acupoint", and when the shiny silver needle was pulled out, it had become pitch black like ink.
This ink-like silver needle shone with a strange luster in the candlelight, not only everyone saw it, but Lin Qiaoer also saw it.
Lin Qiao'er, who was dressed in red, floated into the hall like a fiery red cloud, floated straight to the coffin, looked at the silver needle, and then looked at Shu Hongbo.
Shu Hongbo sighed softly and shook his head slowly.
The corners of Lin Qiao'er's mouth twitched, and she slowly turned around, looking at the jade gold and silver lying motionless in the coffin, and in an instant, her eyes showed a look of love and pity, and after a long time, a smile gradually bloomed on her snow-white jade-like face.
Lin Qiao'er smiled. Lin Qiaoer actually smiled.
She smiled and muttered, "Yes, you've finally quieted down and stopped running around." By the way, that's it......"
Everyone looked at her in amazement. Fan Qingshan walked over, intending to comfort her, but opened his mouth several times, but didn't say anything.
Lin Qiao'er muttered and slowly stretched out a hand, as if she wanted to close her eyes wide open for Yujin Yin.
"No!"
Shu Hongbo and Fan Qingshan shouted at the same time, and shot out as fast as lightning, grabbing Lin Qiao'er's arm left and right. Lin Qiao'er was shocked, as if she had woken up from a deep sleep.
"Qiao'er, no. He's poisonous!" Fan Qingshan shook his head slightly.
As if she heard it, but as if she hadn't heard anything, Lin Qiao'er nodded silently, turned around and blessed everyone in the hall, and floated out of the mourning hall.
Wear the flower path, cross the moon gate, in the depths of the green shade, and the lights shine on the corner of the red wall and green tiles.
Lin Qiao'er entered the hospital, went upstairs, and instructed the little girl ring with her: "I'm tired, no one wants to see me." ”
All the subordinates who followed Lin Qiao'er knew what to do. If someone breaks in, step in with their left foot and cut off their left foot, step in with their right foot and cut off their right foot, step in with both feet, and cut off both legs.
In a casual word, it is an irresistible order. This is Lin Qiaoer's rules, and it is also the rules of "Tiandao Hall". In the rivers and lakes, to lead a gang, especially a huge organization like the "Heavenly Dao Hall", without such harsh and cruel rules, it would have been defeated and swallowed up by other gangs long ago.
Lin Qiao'er walked into the room, and suddenly collapsed, as if she had been drained of her body's essence and blood, and lay softly on the crimson Persian carpet, her whole body twitched violently, and let tears pour out like a.
The Yiren have passed away, and countless joys and endless love have also gone with the wind.
Lin Qiaoer, this woman who has infinite scenery on the rivers and lakes and seems to be always on top, will once again experience the loneliness and helplessness of the cold in the high places. For a woman who is not too young, this kind of pain is by no means something that outsiders can experience.
Outside the building, the forest breeze is still blowing, and the lights are still bright.
I don't know how long it took, a wisp of piano sound floated up the small building and into Lin Qiaoer's heart.
The faint sound of the piano is graceful and gentle like sympathetic eyes.
But the sound of the piano clearly came from the courtyard, from the side of the small building.
Lin Qiao'er, who had been crawling on the ground, suddenly bounced up, went out of the window, and landed in the courtyard. The movements are clean and neat, and the posture is wonderful and abnormal.
"Swallow thousands of miles of Ying Muye, step on the snow without a trace of Lin Qiao'er. ”
Lin Qiaoer's light skills, like her beauty, are famous in the rivers and lakes. But the most famous thing is her temper. It seems that the more beautiful a woman looks, the worse her temper becomes. Over the years, in addition to envying Master Yu's Yanfu, everyone admired his patience even more. Maybe only an outstanding man like Master Yu is worthy of a beautiful and hot woman like Lin Qiaoer.
At this moment, according to Lin Qiaoer's temper, it would not be surprising that she dismantled this uninvited guest who broke in.
However, Lin Qiaoer did not make a move. It's not that her temper has changed suddenly, it's the person in front of her who makes her unable to make a move.
Five
As the night deepened, the lid of the coffin was slowly closed. The people who came to pay their respects were scattered, some people stayed in the "Miaobi Villa", and many more rushed back overnight. No matter whether Master Yu wins or loses, they all have a lot of things that need to be dealt with immediately.
Of course, the people who bet on "Yuan Ji" were in a hurry to go back to clean the treasury and prepare to collect the cash, while those who unfortunately bet on Master Yu were in a hurry to go back to deal with the aftermath.
The mourning hall, which was still noisy just now, suddenly became unusually deserted. Only two Zhuang Ding were listlessly burning paper money, muttering the names of jade, gold and silver in their mouths.
Master Yu was still lying motionless, and his heart gradually became unsteady. Especially after he saw Lin Qiaoer, this feeling of unsteadiness became stronger and stronger. If Lin Qiao'er knew that he was pretending to be dead to lie to her, maybe she would tear his big mouth open to his ear.
This woman can do anything.
The worst thing is that she will find out sooner or later, unless he is really dead.
Thinking of this, Master Yu slammed into his heart. If all his worries just now were on Lin Qiaoer, then now, he may have to think about his prospects.
When he lay down in the coffin, he thought it was interesting, but when he came out of the coffin again, could he still maintain such a relaxed and happy mood?
Master Yu saw Zhao Tianba's treacherous old face in front of him, and he felt a cold swish on his back.
This old ghost in a green robe, most of whom have been buried in the ground, regardless of the fatigue of the boat and car, trekked through mountains and rivers to the poor and remote place of Xiangjia Town, and he definitely did not want to play such a game with him. But he was put into a coffin in a daze, and his body was as hard as a stick, and he couldn't even blink his eyelids.
What will happen next, Yu Jinyin can't guess at all.
The two Zhuang Ding, who were guarding the spirit, slipped away somewhere to drink.
Yu Jinyin was thinking wildly, and suddenly noticed that the coffin was moving. Soon, the entire coffin was not in the back of the mourning hall, and another identical coffin was quietly placed on the mourning hall.
The coffin of jade, gold and silver was loaded into a carriage, and the horse quickly left the "Miaobi Villa".
The strange thing is that the "Miaobi Villa", which is heavily guarded on weekdays, seems to have become an empty city at the moment, and no one has stopped it, and no one even asks.
Yujin and Yin were happy again, since someone secretly transported him out, it was not to bury him. If these people want his life, they don't have to bother so much, as long as no one cares about him, after a day or two, his friend Fan Qingshan will naturally send him up the mountain, and he will be buried in absolute beauty.
However, Yu Jinyin was not happy for long, and encountered another thing that made him very headache and embarrassment.
He wants to pee!
Master Yu has experienced countless dangers and solved countless thorny problems, but he probably never dreamed that one day, he would be held in urine. Like most men, Master Yu has many bad things about him. However, he has not yet developed the habit of wetting his pants.
What's especially troubling is that the more you think about it, the more urgent it becomes.
Of course, Master Yu can't really be suffocated by urine. He knew that the most effective way to deal with this situation was to divert his attention and let his mind think about something else.
Master Yu thought of Zhao Tianba.
At this moment, he really wanted to grab this old ghost in the green robe, lift his dry body high, and then punch out the last few yellow teeth left in his deflated mouth. This thing must be very interesting to do, as long as you think about it, it will make people's hearts flutter, Master Yu couldn't help but get excited, and made up his mind that once he regained his freedom, he would immediately go to Zhao Tianba.
Thinking like this, Master Yu really felt less anxious.
Just as Master Yu was happily imagining Zhao Tianba's embarrassed appearance of looking for teeth all over the ground, the carriage suddenly stopped. Then someone opened the lid of the coffin and helped him to sit up.
As soon as Master Yu sat up, he saw Zhao Tianba.
When Yu Jinyin and Zhao Tianba met again, Lin Qiao'er was facing Shu Wuzheng.
Shu Wuzheng was the uninvited guest who broke into the courtyard to play the piano, but Lin Qiao'er, who was full of anger, couldn't make a move on him because he was a cripple.
Shu Wuzheng wore a cleanly washed moon-white robe, sat quietly in a wheelchair, resting an antique five-stringed yaoqin on his knees, with a gentle smile on his pale face, and his eyes were as bright as a star, rippling with softness and sincerity.
If he changes the time and place, Lin Qiaoer will definitely chat with him for a while, and maybe even pull him for a few drinks together. But now, Miss Lin is really not in a good mood. She stared at him fiercely, and said coldly: "Shen Geng ran downstairs to play the piano downstairs in the middle of the night, how did you teach you?"
"I often told me to do my best to help others when they were in trouble. "His voice, like his people, is full of masculine charm.
Lin Qiao'er's heart moved: "Your surname?"
"The surname is Shu. ”
"Shu Hongbo's son?"
"Yes. There is no dispute in Xia Shu. ”
"No quarrel with the world?"
"Yes. There is no dispute with the sky, no dispute with the earth, and no dispute with people. ”
Lin Qiao'er sneered: "There is no dispute with the sky, and there may be no dispute with the earth." If you want to have no quarrel with people, you are in the rivers and lakes, can you do it?"
Shu Wuzheng shook his head, and a touch of melancholy flashed in his eyes: "It's really difficult to do without fighting with others. But I always think that when I have to fight with a few, I always have to fight for the sake of the majority. Otherwise, winning or losing is meaningless. ”
"I don't need you to teach me, this is exactly the purpose of our 'Heavenly Dao Hall'. ”
Shu Wuzheng said sincerely: "How dare you." Although he is not good at doing it, he admires your good life. Every time I hear the good news that your gang punishes evil and promotes good, and does the right thing for heaven, I can't help but be revealed. ”
Lin Qiao'er looked him up and down and asked, "You have been like this since you were a child, isn't Ling Zun proficient in medicine?"
Shu Wuzheng smiled and said, "Some diseases are innate, and they are not related to the medicine stone. When I was younger, it was worse than it is now, and only my head could move. Later, it slowly got better. Now except for the legs and feet are not very neat, everything else is fine. In order to show his "great goodness", Shu Wuzheng stretched out his fingers and played a few syllables on the yaoqin.
His fingers were dexterous, just too thin.
In Lin Qiaoer's opinion, his appearance cannot be regarded as "good" in any case. If she was like this, she really didn't know how to live. However, this weak person, who was full of weakness in the eyes of others, ignored the cold and heavy dew of the night, and made a special trip to stroke the piano for her and talk to her.
Lin Qiao'er showed a soft look in her eyes. She was obviously moved by Shu Wuzheng. She suddenly realized that although the grief of losing the jade gold and silver had not been alleviated in the slightest, her mood had improved. At least there is no despair that seems to be falling into the abyss.
Shu Wuzheng noticed the change in her, but he didn't show it. He obviously knows how to care for a woman's broken heart.
After a while, Shu Wuzheng said slowly: "I think there are some doubts in this matter. ”
Lin Qiao'er became alert.
"First of all, where did Mr. Yu's coffin come from? I heard that Mr. Yu was the first to be found...... The place where the body was found was a small market town called 'Xiangjia Town'. Shu Wuzheng looked at Lin Qiao'er and carefully considered every word.
However, Lin Qiao'er has gradually woken up from the huge blow, and once she cheers up, she will immediately return to the shrewd "Tiandaotang" master, and return to the arrogant Miss Lin.
And then on. ”
"According to the analysis of the current situation, if Mr. Yu was killed in Miaojiang, why did the 'Five Poison Sect' send his body to 'Xiangjia Town'? They have never done this before, and this time should not be an exception. Another possibility is that Mr. Yu went to 'Xiangjia Town' by himself, but ......"
"However, 'Xiangjia Town' is already outside the territory of the 'Five Poisons Sect'. Lin Qiao'er continued coldly, "If he hadn't been poisoned by the 'Five Poison Sect' in the depths of Miao Jiang, there would be no reason to go against the Tao of others after leaving Miao Jiang." ”
"Perhaps, he has been poisoned in Miaojiang......"
Lin Qiao'er shook her head: "No, you don't know him." When something is not fully done, he will never leave. That's the kind of person he is!" Lin Qiao'er said categorically, with a strange look on her face.
"If that's the case, it proves that Mr. Yu had already defeated the 'Five Poison Sect' at that time, and in this game, he had actually won!"
"If he had really been to 'Xiangjia Town', it would have been like this. Lin Qiao'er's eyebrows raised obliquely.
"It's not difficult to confirm this. ”
Lin Qiao'er raised her head, looked at the glow that was gradually revealing in the sky, and let out a long sigh.
