Chapter 5 Yan Opera

Five days later, the matter of the death fight on a snowy night gradually subsided in Jiaxing City. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info people in the city only said that the officers and soldiers killed a court prisoner under the snowy night five days ago, and the real officers and soldiers knew that those people that night were not sergeants, but just the Ten Thousand Poison Gang who paid the silver and borrowed the military uniform.

On this day, the spring snow melted, the dawn sun entered the soft window screen, and the snow melted into a stream around the restaurant. On the day of melting snow at any time, but the weather is colder, everyone in Jiaxing City wears cotton jackets to keep out the cold. Yan Xiuyu only said that Mu Li was dead, there was no opponent in Jiaxing City for a while, and he drank alcohol for a few days when he had nothing to do, and today he felt that the sky was colder, so he put on the yellow cloak he wore when he walked the rivers and lakes. He ate and drank in the tavern for a day, his eyes were full of the scene of that night's deathfight, thinking that he was running wildly beside Shu Muli at that time, and each of his swords had used the power he had learned all his life was extremely great, but Shu Muli's internal skills were really peculiar, soft and strong, and he gave him five or six points of each sword power, and at the same time used pure internal force to shake his sword open. He has been alone for many years, and has never met such a good hand, not only admires but also regards the other party as a lifelong rival, and does not want to be obsessed with the tricks of the Ten Thousand Poison Gang and kill Shu Muli, and he regrets in his heart, so he can only use alcohol to kill his sorrows.

Yan Xiuyu kept drinking, but before he knew it, it was almost dusk. He asked Xiao Er to make four taels of wine, wrapped a piece of beef, and walked towards the inn.

Yan Xiuyu entered the guest room, just wanted to drink, and felt extremely lonely, so he leaned out of the window to raise a glass and sighed: "Snow sees a pot of wine, drink alone and ignorant friends......! The snow is not drunk, but the shadow disciples are with me!" Suddenly he rushed back to the house and shouted: "I want to be Xiang Yuhu!" and heard him sing: "Pull out the mountain and cover the world, the time is not good, the horse does not pass away, what can I do, what can I do?" I saw his cloak thrown into the air, and the cloak turned over in the air, only to see that the other side of the cloak was embroidered with bright yellow phoenix and peony, but it was a female cloak. I heard him say in a female voice: "The king's generous and sad song makes people cry." How about the concubine sing and dance once and talk to relieve her worries?"

After speaking, he immediately drew his sword and danced in the air, the sword was like a sword, not a sword, not silk, but it was a set of sword dances, and if someone played it at this time, it would be a good show. I saw him spill a few drops of wine from the cup, and immediately jumped up again, his body slowly rotated in the air, and a move of "boundless falling wood" stabbed with a sword, and each sword stabbed a drop of wine, and the kung fu was extremely handsome. But listen to him dance and sing in his voice: "Persuade the king to drink and listen to Yu songs, and relieve the king's sorrow and dance." Win Qin has no way to break the country, and the heroes are fighting in all directions. As the saying goes, don't deceive me, the moment of success or failure, sit in the ...... of the treasure tent with a relaxed heart, "Yan Xiuyu seems to be in love, and his mouth gradually cries, as if he is really Yu Ji and her husband are saying goodbye."

Yan Xiuyu couldn't stop crying for a while, his voice was choked, he couldn't sing anymore, he put his sword back into the sheath, raised his glass and walked back to the window. Suddenly, the door squeaked open, and Yan Xiuyu didn't seem to notice, still drinking to himself. A short figure rushed in, holding a sharp short sword and stabbing at Yan Xiuyu's heart. Yan Xiuyu stretched his left hand back and gently clamped the short sword with two fingers, and when he turned around, he saw a thin child, and he let go. The boy broke free of him, and then jumped up and struck at his temple, and he stepped back slightly to flash the sword, and the boy took advantage of the move to slash from the top right to the left with his backhand. Although this kid is young, the speed of this knife technique is much faster than that of ordinary people. Moreover, Yan Xiuyu was even more surprised when he saw Wu Xiaotian's fast knife technique in the forest that night, and he deliberately wanted to see his sword technique complete and see where the child came from. But seeing that the child slashed a few times, and suddenly a move "Baihong Guanri" stabbed straight at his eyebrows, Yan Xiuyu saw that he suddenly changed his moves, and couldn't help but "Huh", and hurriedly reached out and pinched the child's wrist and pulled it back, the child couldn't retract it for a while, and a sword pierced the window. Yan Xiuyu thought to himself: "This kid must have a connection with that Guo Mu and the others, otherwise how could he deliberately use those two people's good skills." But this kid's martial arts are mixed, and it seems that he won't show his kung fu if he doesn't make some killing moves. The child turned around and slashed at Yan Xiuyu's left shoulder, and Yan Xiuyu's right hand on the side of his body stretched out his finger as a sword, piercing the child's left eye. The child hurriedly jumped up and kicked twice on his fingers, which was exactly the "shadowless phantom foot" used by Shu Mu Li five days ago, but the child didn't know how to do internal strength, except for staining Yan Xiuyu's hands with some dust, it didn't hurt him at all.

Yan Xiuyu saw that he had something to do with Shu Muli, so he reached out and pinched the child's right hand holding the sword, and put his right hand on his back. Yan Xiuyu carefully looked at the short sword in the child's hand, and saw that this sword was Su Sui Jinge, and the sword was engraved with the four small characters "Mu Li Shushi". Yan Xiuyu saw that this short sword was the sharp weapon used by Shu Mu Li that night to cut gold and break iron, and his heart was even more strange: "I have never heard of Bo Ming Bat accepting apprentices in the rivers and lakes, who is this little man?" and asked, "What is your name, child, and who is the master?" The child was already frightened, and replied truthfully: "My name is He Laiming, and I don't have a master." Yan Xiuyu only said that this kid was lying to himself, and he put a little more force on his hand, and said sharply: "There is no master, how can you know martial arts? Yan Xiuyu asked again: "Then why did you kill me?" He Laiming held back his tears, grabbed Yan Xiuyu's robe tightly, and shouted: "You killed Uncle Wu and Uncle Guo, and you killed the old man a few days ago, you are a big villain! I want to take revenge and kill you, a big wicked man!" Yan Xiuyu was silent for a while after hearing this, laughed instead of anger, and said: "Yes, I am a big villain, I am the number one villain in the worldβ€”β€”!" For a while, I was overwhelmed with grief, and the past events of my life suddenly came flooding over, and scenes flashed in my heart:

"Back then, I was also a chivalrous man, and I had nothing but chivalry in my heart, and I had a very good reputation in the martial arts. When I was a child, I had no relatives, I lived in the rivers and lakes, I did chores in small shops, carried burdens in rice shops, and even stole chickens and dogs. One day, I was working in a tavern in Fuzhou, when I was only eight years old, and a drama gang passed through here, and a few of the gang members came to the tavern to eat and drink. The gangs were all dressed in brocade and looked extremely rich, and I looked very envious, so I ran out of the tavern and quietly followed them, only to see them enter the backstage of the gang. I wanted to follow up, but I saw a man guarding the back door, so I stood in the distance and waited for the man to go to the toilet or doppelganger. Suddenly, I saw that he seemed to be bored and staring into the distance, so I took the opportunity to run towards the door. I saw that his legs did not bend or lift, and a move of 'shifting shapes and shadows' suddenly blocked in front of me, and said with a smile: "Boy, I have been watching you for a long time, what do you want to do?" That man has a delicate face, slightly dark skin, his hair is tied up with blue silk, and he looks like he is in his twenties in a green shirt, he is my future senior brother, Nalan Xunde. Seeing that I didn't speak, the senior brother suddenly took out an iron fan out of nowhere, and he covered his face with the iron fan, and suddenly a mouthful of fire erupted from the iron fan, and the fire swayed like a dragon and flew into the distance, gradually dissipating. Later, I learned that this turned out to be the stunt 'one dragon' in the Qin cavity. He showed me stunts such as 'Pine Green Snow' again. I couldn't help but applaud, he saw that I was innocent, and asked with a smile: 'Do you want to learn?' I agreed, but he said: 'It's very bitter, it's more bitter than you doing chores all over the rivers and lakes, do you still learn?' I didn't know that I didn't know that I didn't know so many years of physical suffering, but how could I mind, compared to being alone, these sufferings were nothing, so I agreed. The elder brother took me to meet the master, who was an old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, with a long beard of five willows, and a black crown on his head, and was called 'the gentleman of a hundred operas' on the rivers and lakes. In this way, I joined the Hundred Opera Gang. ”

"Senior brother, he didn't lie to me, practicing is really tiring, what we practice is not only martial arts, but also drama skills. Every morning, before the chicken woke up, our senior brother's shouted, and the daily shouting, splitting, walking, and practicing were not something ordinary people could bear. At first, I was sixteen brothers and sisters, but gradually some of them couldn't leave anymore, and some of them had bad throats when they were thirteen or fourteen years old. When I was sixteen years old, the senior brother, a short-fought martial artist, had already become a celebrity in the rivers and lakes, called 'Iron Fan Gong'. That year, I sang the lead role for the first time, and it was exactly what I had just sung "Farewell My Concubine". I play Xiang Yu, and my sister Nan Ruohua plays Yu Ji. The two of us had a good relationship, and this singing was also famous together, and because I had the true inheritance of my sister Ximen Shan Suxue Sword, the name of this 'Snow Sword Overlord' also spread. But we forgot that after all, it was a drama, not reality, and it was too late to perceive it. ”

Yan Xiuyu said that he smiled here, and his heart was indescribably sweet and sour. Tears silently slipped down his cheeks. He Lai Ming is still young and doesn't understand the feelings between men and women, so he just listens stupidly. Yan Xiuyu wiped away his tears and continued: "I think back then, there were only six senior brothers and sisters left. I am the second, my sister Nan Ruohua is one year younger than me and the third, and the other three juniors are Wang, Lu, and Zhang. Senior Brother Wang is four years younger than me, since I was a child, I have seen him often serve tea and water to Nan Ruohua, the senior sister, so respectful, I can see the things in his eyes, compared to him I did less for Ruohua. But Ruohua and I have never looked at him as a doll, and we have ignored him unconsciously. One day, Ruohua and I met in the bamboo forest to practice swordsmanship, and we created a set of swordsmanship called 'Yuhua Swordsmanship'. This swordsmanship has no killing power, it is only created to express feelings. We practiced swordsmanship together in the bamboo forest, but we asked Senior Brother Wang to see it. Senior Brother Wang was jealous, drew his sword and stabbed at my navel, and I hurriedly blocked it with a sword when I saw it. He immediately turned his trick at my wrist, and I took a step back to avoid it. After that, we dismantled more than 30 moves with each other, the two of them twisted their swords to compete for internal strength, and suddenly the two swords flew into the sky, and the two of us collided with each other's palms, and each used what they had learned in their lives, but the internal strength of the two of us was not much different, and it was stalemate for a while. Just as I was about to shake my brother away, suddenly a pair of big hands grabbed my two wrists and forcibly tore my hands apart. I turned my head and saw that it was the master, the helper Shang He Yang, the three of us hurriedly knelt down, the master didn't say anything, and left with a wave of his long sleeves. ”

"On the second day, the master called us into the house, and I was very scared. I didn't dare to look at the master's face, and squinted to see that the master looked extremely sad, as if he was about to cry, but he kept shaking his head and asked, 'Why?' I replied, "I am good with my junior sister Nan Ruohua, and when Senior Brother Wang was jealous, he raised his sword and stabbed me." The master shook his head and said to Senior Brother Wang: "Spirit painting, fate is like this, there is no way!" Nan Ruohua hurriedly knelt down in front of the master and said: "Master, it's all Ruohua's fault, don't do the fault of the senior brother, beg the master not to punish him." The master said, "What's wrong with you two, go out." My sister and I went out, only to hear the master shouting in the house: 'You attacked your brother and harmed yourself as a brother!' According to the gang rules...... Let's go. 'Drove Senior Brother Wang out of the Hundred Opera Gang. ”

"Senior Brother Wang is honest, straightforward, and highly perceptive, and he is deeply loved by the master. Later, the master ignored the two of us and rarely taught us martial arts. After three years, although the two of us were already famous actors, we had no intention of singing anymore, so we told our master and my wife that we wanted to leave the Baiju Gang, and my master and my wife agreed. The two of us left the Hundred Theatre Gang as our home, and others praised us for our brave retreat, but who knew that we were just tired of arguing. When we wanted to leave, the only thing we took away was the peony girl cloak that my sister was going to come when she left. As he spoke, he gently pinched his cloak, and said:

"After four years, my sister and I went all the way to the righteousness, relying on the master and my wife to preside over the fairness of the rivers and lakes, and gradually people called me 'Snow Sword Overlord' less, and soon people removed the word 'Overlord' and called me 'Snow Sword'. One day, my wife Nan Ruohua and I came to Lin'an City to stay in the middle of the night, when we suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the house, and the two of us thought to ourselves, could it be that the army could not be sent at night? Ruohua saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly pulled me to escape from the city with light skills. Who knew that the pair of men and horses chased after us for three days and three nights, and I thought that even if they were outnumbered, they would be better than us, so they sat in a land temple and waited for everyone. But what we are waiting for is none other than Senior Brother Wang, Wang Linghua. This brute, after being expelled from the division, quickly became a powerful party with a lot of money with his skills. Those people were the killers he hired from the rivers and lakes. Without saying a word, Wang Linghua let his men move, have you ever heard that money can make ghosts grind? I don't know how much silver he gave to those people, and those people, no matter how badly injured, actually came to fight with us. No matter how high the martial arts are, we are afraid of fighting, and these dozens of people are pestering us without dying, making us helpless. After fighting for about half an hour, we knew that we were invincible and hurriedly jumped up, trying to escape over the temple wall. But who knew that as soon as I jumped into the air, I suddenly heard a 'whoosh', I hurriedly reached out and grabbed behind Ruohua, but there was an arrow hidden in the arrow, and I grabbed a second one and followed closely behind, shooting into Ruohua's heart. The two of us ran for a few miles, and when we saw that there were no pursuers, we stopped. I saw Ruohua's face as white as paper and his fingertips purple, and I knew that it was a poisonous arrow. After one night, Ruohua died, and I held her body to meet the master and buried her in the bamboo forest where we created the sword technique. Yan Xiuyu smiled miserably and said, "I think I haven't given her a sign of love and a gift for marriage...... tears fell. He Lai Ming looked at this seven-foot man who couldn't cry silently, and he didn't feel that he was in tears.

Suddenly, a person broke through the window and grabbed He Laiming's waist, Yan Xiuyu let go of his hands and let the man hug He Laiming. I saw that the man's eyes were closed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said, "I'm sorry, Brother Yan." Listen to your secrets. Yan Xiuyu was silent, and wiped away the two lines of tears with his long sleeves. Shu Muli smiled: "Why, seeing that I came back from the dead, I couldn't speak? I didn't expect a character like Brother Yan to be afraid of ghosts?" Yan Xiuyu smiled slightly, and said, "What I said just now was not only for He Lai Xiaoer, but also for you!" It turned out that when Yan Xiuyu talked about his life experience, he noticed that Shu Muli was eavesdropping outside the window.

Suddenly, Yan Xiuyu screamed softly and said, "He Laiming, why did my brand get to you." He Lai Ming raised his hand to look, only to find that he was holding a black wooden plaque in his hand, only to see that the front of the wooden plaque was engraved with the word "morality", and the back was engraved with a dramatic face, and He Lai Ming was also confused. It turned out that He Laiming was in a hurry just now, grabbed his robe, and inadvertently ripped off the wooden card from his waist, and then listened to Yan Xiuyu tell about the past, so he forgot about it and kept the wooden card in his hand. He Lai Ming stretched out his hand, handed the wooden card to Yan Xiuyu, and said, "Return you." Yan Xiuyu smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Now, I am no longer worthy of this wooden card, so I will give it to you." He Lai Ming replied lightly and put the wooden card into his arms.

Shu Muli, who had not yet healed and did not dare to stay longer, picked up He Laiming and said, "Brother Yan, don't leave it here!" jumped out of the window and disappeared into the vast night.

Yan Xiuyu let out a long sigh, took off his cloak, turned off the lights, and sat alone in the dark, not knowing what he was thinking.
