25: Wait for the rabbit
The sun is setting in the west, and the sun is approaching dusk.
Directly opposite the temple gates, in the middle of the street, another row of houses had been demolished, and a huge tent of golden splendor had been erected. Needless to say, these are naturally the means of the Golden Dragon Gang.
However, that day in the city of Hangzhou, when Li Yanzhou erected his tent, there were eight heavenly kings and thirteen demons around him. It can be described as a strong army and a large number of talents.
But now, all the heavenly kings, all the human beings and demons are gone. The few remaining masters in the gang have to sit in various places to divide the rudder to prevent all kinds of possible troubles. Therefore, when I came to Yongzhou this time, except for Li Yanzhou and Song Shirong, there were only "three-talented swordsmen" and some ordinary gangsters accompanying me. Judging from the card, it inevitably looks a lot shabby,
These ordinary gangs, although from the outside, everyone is powerful and muscular. Moreover, they are trained in military law, and everyone is not afraid of death. But if there are real masters fighting, they are useless at all. At best, it's just bullying ordinary people. followed Li Yanzhou to come, but he was just a coolie.
As for the "three-talented swordsman", he is actually a brother of the same family. They are the erhu swordsman Jiang Yanyang, the flute swordsman Liang Xiuyin, and the guqin swordsman Wen Dengdiao.
They are the disciples of the "Three Absolute Sword Demons" among the Nineteen Demon Demons. However, later, the three of them learned from the "Sword King" among the Eight Heavenly Kings, and combined the strengths of the two families. Now the swordsmanship of the three senior brothers has surpassed the three peerless sword demons. Even if the three of them form a formation, even the Sword King can only bow to the upper hand.
At this moment, the Sancai swordsman was holding his sword on his back, holding his musical instrument in his arms, standing behind Li Yanzhou in the shape of the word "Pin", eyeing the tiger, always paying attention to the movements of the Quartet. As long as there is the slightest breeze, the sword will be drawn immediately.
Li Yanzhou sat on a low stool with a table in front of him. There are several jars of fine wine and freshly cut roast beef on the table. On the other side of the table, Cheng Li sat down. You have a bowl for two people, I have a bowl, a big bowl of wine, a large piece of meat, so unhappy.
When he was happy, Li Yanzhou suddenly lifted a wine jar and shook it casually. The wine jar immediately drew a beautiful parabola in mid-air, impartial, and was right in the middle of the gate of the temple across the street. On the spot, he smashed the "ping pong ~" on the door frame. The wine was dripping down, and after a few moments, it was already flowing all over the floor.
Li Yanzhou stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, snorting wine and shouting: "What kind of bullshit guardian saint? Pretending to be a ghost, I have always been here to scare the uncle? Phew! Do your big dream of spring and autumn! Come on, if you have the ability, just come to the uncle to settle the account. ”
In the shouting and cheering, "swallowing the world" was full of madness. It's no wonder, because during this period of time, the Golden Dragon Gang can be described as having external worries and internal troubles, and they are all over the place.
Internally, the masters in the gang are eight or nine out of ten, so that there is a big problem in the deployment of manpower, and they are stretched thin everywhere. Externally, under the vigorous suppression of the imperial court, the industries of the Golden Dragon Gang were seized everywhere, and the foundation was in jeopardy. So Li Yanzhou's life is indeed quite difficult.
Now there is a rare opportunity to vent the bird anger in my chest a little. Of course, Li Yanzhou will not let it go.
Inside the temple, around the streets, there was no one. In fact, many Yongzhou people stood in the distance, watching Li Yanzhou's every move, talking to each other and pointing fingers. There is a very obvious resentment on everyone's face. But because of the domineering power of the Golden Dragon Gang, no one dared to come up and do a lot of trouble.
Cheng Li Yanzhou scolded a few words, turned around and picked up the wine bowl, and took another big sip. Snorted coldly: "What kind of bullshit patronus is this, I don't think he's a snake, it's a turtle." Otherwise, why don't you dare to show up until now?"
Cheng Li looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost night." In my opinion, there is a good chance that this Patronus will not be able to go out until after nightfall. ”
Li Yanzhou said disdainfully: "Sure enough, it's a rat with a hidden head and tail." If you have real skills, why should you care about the difference between day and night?"
Cheng Li said: "The guardian saint refuses to show up, I can understand this." What's really strange is actually the person who even rehearses. They also refused to show their faces. To know. The first person to initiate the worship of this guardian saint was the leader of the Pai Sect. ”
Li Yanzhou sneered: "What a Yongzhou sect, a good sect leader." If I hadn't come to Xiangxi this time, I wouldn't have known that the original Pai Jiao had grown to this point in silence. The sect leader, who still can't find out what his surname is, is really a talent. ”
Cheng Li nodded and said, "Along the way, we have met the statue transformed by the guardian god twice. Both times it was when we couldn't see. The Patronus struck. In fact, there are two explanations for this situation. First, the Patronus is so powerful that we can't find it at all. ”
Li Yanzhou sneered: "No way. Brother Cheng, how much ability do you have. I couldn't know better. If someone really can't even hide your eyes and ears, then he is already invincible in the world, where is he still so hidden?"
Cheng Li is also welcome. Said: "So this reason can basically be ruled out. Then there is only one reason left: there is some kind of restriction on the action of the guardian spirit. That's why I deliberately create a sense of mystery. It is necessary to have a psychological impact on us first, so that we can mess up and expose our shortcomings. Then the Patronus will be able to take advantage of it. ”
Li Yanzhou agreed. smiled again: "Brother Cheng, you are really interesting to say." What is deliberately mysterious, and what is psychologically influential. I've never heard anyone say that before. But if you think about it, your language is so straightforward that anyone can understand it. Interesting. ”
Cheng Li smiled and said, "That's how my hometown talks. If you get used to it, you can't change it. ”
After a pause, he restrained his smile and said in a condensed voice: "All in all, the guardian spirit is not strong enough to confront us head-on. That's why we have to use these means to make up for it. Think about it the other way around. Since these methods have been used, what would be the best way for the Patronus to deal with us?"
Li Yanzhou's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "Each one is broken, and the persimmon is soft?"
Cheng Li said in a deep voice: "Mostly. In fact, whether it is the guardian saint or the sect leader, you and I may not be afraid. But for the people around us, that's not guaranteed. So in order to ensure everything, Brother Li, whether the guardian spirit appears, or the sect leader of the Pai sect comes forward, it is best for us not to chase after it all at once. In any case, one person is left here. ”
Li Yanzhou bowed his head and said: "This is Lao Cheng's serious opinion. Okay, then let's drink with peace of mind and see if the guardian saint, or the leader of the Pai sect, insists on being a turtle to the end. Or what the hell will you play? ”
At the moment, the two of you have a bowl again, and I have a bowl, and they can't stop drinking. While drinking, talk about some anecdotes on the rivers and lakes, or discuss the general trend in the martial arts today. Before I knew it, another two hours had passed.
Song Shirong and Xiaoqing, as well as the Bodhisattva Man, the three women had already fallen asleep in the tent. The Sancai swordsman led more than a dozen members of the Golden Dragon Gang to patrol and guard near the tent. For a while, only Cheng Li and Li Yanzhou were left, still sitting in the center of the street facing the temple, waiting quietly.
Li Yanzhou drank a bowl of wine, and habitually went to get the wine jar again. But when I mentioned the wine jar, I found that it was empty. shook it a few times in a row, but it didn't come out of nothing, and then shook out some wine. As far as the eye could see, the other wine jars scattered around the table were also empty.
Li Yanzhou was unhappy in his heart, snorted coldly, and put down the wine jar. Cursing: "Damn. The wine is all drunk, what a guardian saint, what a sect leader, and still not a single fart has been released. Seriously, everything is not going well. ”
Cheng Li said lightly: "That's nothing." I couldn't have rushed it. Since the Patronus refuses to do anything tonight, let's go to sleep. I'll come back tomorrow and wait. Now is the time for patience. ”
Li Yanzhou let out a long breath and said gloomily: "Of course I understand. It's just that...... Brother Cheng, let you see the joke. ”
Why did Li Yanzhou lose his temper so much? Cheng Li naturally understood, and he comforted: "Brother Li, actually...... No, there is a situation!"
Before the words fell, there were already strange changes. I don't know when it started, a thick white mist poured out of the temple, spreading silently to all sides. In a moment, Cheng Li and Li Yanzhou were surrounded by water.
The fog is so thick that it is difficult to see the five fingers when you stretch out your hand. A few steps away, there was a hazy haze. Even the tent a few feet away was completely invisible. In this situation, it was as if Cheng Li and Li Yanzhou had fallen into another blurred world, isolated from the Golden Dragon Gang over there.
Sudden mutations. Cheng Li and Li Yanzhou immediately glanced at each other, and there was no panic in their eyes, but they were overjoyed. Without him, the artist is just bold.
With the skills of the two of them, whether they are pretending to be gods and ghosts, or real demons and demons, they are all fearless and can deal with them the same. What I was afraid of was that the enemy did not move from beginning to end. Because there is no movement, there is no way to start. But as long as the other party moves, then everything will naturally fall into place.
Li Yanzhou stretched out his hand and pressed it on the table, and said in a condensed voice: "It's finally here." How about Brother Cheng, are you coming, or am I coming?"
Cheng Li said: "Seeing Brother Li like this, it seems that his heart is already itching. Let it be given to you. I'm here to stay. Don't let the enemy get into the way. Brother Li can rest assured. ”
Li Yanzhou shouted: "Okay! Then I'll leave it to you." Needless to say, he raised his hand and slapped it on the table.
"Bah~" exploded with a shattering sound. The table was smashed apart on the spot. Li Yanzhou took advantage of the momentum to bounce up, his body was like a strong arrow off the string, roaring through the air, and suddenly rushed into the thick fog.
The fog itself was alive and spirited. Sensing that Li Yanzhou was rushing over, he hurriedly parted in all directions to make way for a road. However, after Li Yanzhou passed, the thick fog rolled and rolled again, quickly filling the gap. In Cheng Li's eyes, it was as if the thick fog had swallowed Li Yanzhou. In an instant, there was a hint of ominous meaning that quietly surged into my heart.
