Chapter 24: Blood Claw

"Pull out the mountains and cover the world, and the times are not good. You can't help it, you can't help it! Evil ghost, you are guilty!"

When Yan Xiuyu heard this, he approached Ping Buping's side and said softly: "Chivalrous man." Ping Buping nodded lightly, and said loudly: "Since Your Excellency is here, please show up to meet you!" I heard the man say again: "Senior Nalan, the Hundred Opera Gang is chivalrous and righteous, and our Chivalrous Palace is also admired! However, the Snow Sword Overlord has passed away for a long time, and now there is only one evil ghost left in the rivers and lakes, why should you protect him!" When Ping Buping heard this person call himself "Nalan", he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and said: "Your Excellency is really confused! The Buddha said, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground." Besides, your chivalrous palace specialized in killing heroes and heroes more than ten years ago, and you shamelessly crowned the word 'chivalrous', and now you have come to reason with me!" After hearing this, the man said angrily: "My chivalrous palace has always only eliminated the unrighteous people in the world! There is a public opinion on the rivers and lakes! Old thief, it seems that you are in charge of this matter?!"

Suddenly, a person shouted from a distance: "Demon girl, I will save your life, but you will take revenge! Don't leave quickly!" The man was silent, and the rain outside the temple was loud, which made the temple more and more silent. A man walked slowly into the temple, his cloak scattered, his whole body soaked, and his clothes stuck to his skin. As soon as the man's hand was released, the long sword fell to the ground and then fell to his knees, "Disciple He Laiming, meet the master, meet the two uncles." When Pingliu saw him, he hurriedly leaned down and helped him up, and said, "Ming'er, look who it is." As he spoke, he pointed his finger lightly at Shu Muli. "Old man ?...... book," He Laiming said in surprise, and then remembered the scene when he drove him away, his voice was not weak, stopped, and his vicious expression appeared in his heart again. When Shu Muli heard that He Lai Ming was coming, he smiled happily, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were crumpled, and he reached out to touch it, but he didn't know where he touched it. Shu Muli smiled unconsciously and said, "Hehehe, I'm really stupid." Yan Xiuyu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand and led him to He Laiming's side. Shu Muli impatiently touched He Laiming's head and then to his face, it was a pair of hands that did not match his age, his hands were full of wounds, scars, calluses, dry, and he Laiming was a little stinging to the touch. "Okay, good, good! I've grown up, and I'm no longer the silly boy with a dirty face. He Lai Ming looked at him stunned, the man in his thirties had more gray hair in his hair, and his face was wrinkled deeply, as if carved by a carving knife, he was no longer the handsome storyteller he was back then, but like a weathered old man. He Lai Ming gradually felt that his face was wet, and it was Shu Muli's tears that fell on his cheeks. This man, who once seemed to want to kill himself, wept for himself. He Lai Ming seemed to choke with a cotton ball in his throat, and he was stuck there in one breath. In the end, He Laiming's vision was blurred, tears stuck to her eyelashes, I don't know whose tears it was, and I don't know if she also shed tears. "Master—" He Laiming blurted out. Ping Buping didn't answer him, he understood that he was not calling him, but another tearful man in front of him. There is an ancient saying, "There is a son who tends to move forward, weeping and wetting his clothes." May the death of my father be 30,000 colors without fear. The thief said that you were filial piety, and undressed with blood. In this way, father and son are happy. Although the two are not father and son, they are also friends of life and death, like father and son. He Laiming, wiped away the tears on his face, and asked with a smile, "Where is Sister Xue Qi?" Shu Muli also let go of him and replied, "Xue Qi probably went back to Changbai Mountain." I haven't heard from her for a while, except that the last time she passed the book was when I told me that she had returned to her master safely. He Lai Ming nodded, he wanted to mention the matter of the Chivalrous Palace, but after thinking about it, Shu Muli had a good reputation, and the Chivalrous Palace would definitely not trouble him.

The sound of rain outside the temple was even louder, and as soon as the wind blew, the rain rushed in and poured on the back of Pingliu's neck, and Pingliu shivered unconsciously. Ping Buping walked over, pulled He Lai Ming to his side and asked, "Ming'er, what you just said outside the temple, what happened to saving the life of the demon girl?" He Lai Ming told Ping Buping in detail how he met the chivalrous man, how he saved 'Brother Tai', and how he broke with her in the end. Ping Buping sighed and said, "Confused! Alas, this is also my fault, and I rarely mention the old things to you. Ming'er, you are so naïve and gullible, you will suffer a big loss when you go to the rivers and lakes in the future!" He Lai Ming nodded again and again, and said, "I know that I am wrong. Ping Buping turned his head and said: "The person you saved must not be just a villain, and you will be punished for thinking for half a year, and you will not be allowed to leave the troupe for half a step." He Lai Ming bowed his head and asked, "Master, what kind of sect is this chivalrous palace, and since it has such power, how can it disappear for more than ten years." ”

"This ......" Ping Buping hesitated for a while, then turned his head to look at Shu Mu Li and Yan Xiuyu. Shu Muli hesitated when he heard him, and said in a deep voice: "The past grievances of the rivers and lakes should not be mentioned again. However, I didn't expect the Chivalrous Palace to reappear in the rivers and lakes...... "Ping Buping continued: "More than 20 years ago, I just set foot in the rivers and lakes. At that time, the masters were like clouds, and the top masters were the famous teachers on the rivers and lakes: 'Indefinite Gentleman' and 'Beilong', 'Nanfeng', 'Xiqi' and 'Dongqi'. However, at that time, not to mention the invasion of the Jin Kingdom in the Great Song Dynasty, there were constant sect disputes in the martial arts. Your ancestor once invited everyone to go with them to try to stop the sect fighting. One of them said that the Changbai Mountain Xuejing faction, but before we set off, the Xuejing faction had the intention of annexing our gang, and sent people to inquire about the situation in our gang many times. Until one day, a big attack came. We fought in Hangzhou for a day and a night, and the other party was menacing, and all the moves were aimed at you...... The people present are all famous seniors in the martial arts, but everyone is red-eyed, where is there still a trace ......of chivalry" Ping Buping said and unbuttoned his robe, only to see a bright red hideous scar on his left shoulder, many years have passed, this scar is still clearly visible, Ping Buping continued: "This is the scar left at that time, two more inches, I'm afraid my arm will not be there." To this day, the wound still aches from time to time. Ping Buping put on his clothes and continued: "At that time, after this incident, the master was already disheartened and determined not to care about these things fighting for fame and fortune on the rivers and lakes. However, within half a year, the turmoil on the rivers and lakes gradually calmed down. When He Lai Ming heard this, he said curiously: "Why is this? No matter how strong the Chivalrous Palace is, it is impossible to manage them one by one." Ping Buping smiled: "This is naturally impossible." But the heads and masters of many sects have mysteriously disappeared! This has also become the strangest strange thing in the history of the rivers and lakes!" He Lai Ming was fascinated by what he heard, and he stopped quietly, gently wiped away some sweat, and whetted his appetite.

"Until a rare master suddenly appeared on the rivers and lakes, claiming that he was the one who captured those people!"

"Who?!"

"Chivalrous Palace Outcast - Blood Claw, Zheng Xizhu!"
