Chapter 62. Visit Jinling, meet strange people on the road
From sleeping yesterday afternoon to this morning, as soon as Murong Xu Xian woke up, he felt extremely hungry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Murong Xu Xian had breakfast with the daughters, and asked how things had changed recently during the long sleep. According to Bai Suzhen, the news of finding the treasure of the former Ming Inspector will have to wait for more than a day. Then Murong Fu was on his way to the Golden Dragon Gang when he received an invitation from the Huashan faction to talk to Mu Renqing.
Mu Renqing, the current head of the Huashan faction, is also the current leader of the Wuyue Sword faction. The five sword factions are the Taishan faction in the east, the Huashan faction in the west, the Hengshan faction in the south, the Hengshan faction in the north, and the Songshan faction in the middle. The five factions are famous for their swordsmanship in the martial arts, and the superb and unpredictable wonderful sword moves are countless, which is the yearning of the younger generation of apprentices in the rivers and lakes.
Some people may ask, why didn't this newcomer go to Shaolin Wudang? Because of the sword! Since ancient times, Middle-earth has admired the sword very much, holding a three-foot green edge, dominating the world, and making immortal achievements. Since Emperor Xuanyuan's Xuanyuan sword, the sword has become a cultural fashion, and the person who uses the sword is chic and handsome enough. From this point of view, let's look at Shaolin and Wudang.
Shaolin, martial arts are mainly fists, fingering, sticks, and knives. Of the seventy-two stunts, only one is swordsmanship... Dharma swordsmanship. And if you want to learn the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin, you have to become a monk and shave your head, otherwise it is difficult to learn if you are just a lay disciple, unless you are extremely talented or have a great background. And there is another obstacle to the Dharma swordsmanship, which must be used to be upright and open-minded, so as to purify the evil people in their hearts. But how many upright people are there in the world? Looking at the world, the only one who can give full play to the essence of Bodhidharma's swordsmanship is the one next to Bao Qingtian - Nanxia Zhanzhao.
Wudang, Wudang since Zhang Zhaozhong and other outcasts who took refuge in the Manchurian Tartars, now accept apprentices very strictly, in addition to extraordinary qualifications, pay more attention to personal morality. Martial arts is swordsmanship, Tai Chi sword. Tai Chi Sword takes the path of softness, which is the same as the principle of Tai Chi Boxing, and pays attention to overcoming rigidity with softness. And most of the people who want to learn swords are going to be like Li Taibai, killing one person in ten steps, and not leaving a line for thousands of miles. The Tai Chi Sword is not only "conformist", but also slow to enter the country, and most of the Tai Chi masters in the martial arts are past middle age.
Therefore, in the process of accepting apprentices, the Wuyue Sword Sect has an incomparable advantage in Shaolin Wudang. The masters of the younger generation, in terms of quantity, the vast majority of them are disciples of the Wuyue Sword Sect. The Wuyue Sword Sect is a righteous force that cannot be ignored except for the martial arts master Shaolin Wudang.
Murong Fu wants to go and talk to Mu Renqing?
Murong Xu Xian was a little worried. This time I went to the Golden Dragon Gang, maybe the Murong family would have to fight with the Huashan faction. And Mu Renqing can fight against the wind and the wind is clear, and the Dugu Nine Swords with a clear wind are famous all over the world, and they are known as breaking the world's martial arts. Regardless of the authenticity of his fame, in Murong Xu Xian's view, breaking through the world's martial arts is actually "no trick". No moves, that is, make moves as you like, do not stick to the rules and routines, and are better than the rules and regulations. This realm is much higher than Lin Yueru, who defeated Murong Xu Immortal last time... The lack of moves is to make up for it with internal strength, and Murong Fu's internal strength, compared with the older generation of masters, obviously can't make up for it, not only can't make up for it, but also lags behind...
Mu Renqing's martial arts are by no means comparable to Murong Fu. Murong Xu Xian couldn't sit still, he had to rush to the Golden Dragon Gang as soon as possible and fight Murong again. Before leaving, Murong Xu Xian went to meet Guang Chengzi and Yun Zhongzi as usual, and asked for some opinions by the way.
Guang Chengzi said in his heart: Alas, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, what will happen in the future, whether it will succeed or not, it depends on you...
Guang Chengzi said: "Although you can go on the road, the most important thing for people is to have confidence in themselves. Remember, if you are defeated for a while, bend down and pick up your faith, the so-called failure is the mother of success. ”
Murong Xu Xian complained in his heart: What are these words, why do you feel bad when you say this?
Yun Zhongzi said: "Remember, you can't beat it, use it to run!" Don't be afraid of losing face, this is called a strategic retreat, and it is one of the highest wisdoms. ”
Murong Xu Xian complained: If you can't beat it, run away, this sentence was said to me by the second person...
After getting the explanation of the two immortals, Murong Xu Xian was very disapproving, now that he has made great progress in martial arts, he is about to stretch out his hand, why do he still have these two Shaoxing words?
Murong Xu Immortal Heart said: Wait and see, this trip to Jinling, I will definitely be famous all over the world!
After saying goodbye to Guangchengzi and Yunzhongzi, Murong Xu Xian took all the equipment and traveled with Shuang'er, Shijian, Wanyanping, and Yeluyan. Bai Suzhen and Nie Xiaoqian came to see them off. Bai Suzhen said: "Official, the matter of the treasure, as soon as there is news, I will fly a pigeon to pass the book to the Murong family stronghold in Jinling City, you may as well pay attention to it when you arrive in Jinling City." Murong Xu Xian snorted, and Nie Xiaoqian said: "Brother Xian, I have asked Sister Bai for advice, and it will be of great benefit to Xiaoqian." Thank you Sister Bai for teaching me. This kung fu is really broad and profound, and there is another world of martial arts. As she spoke, Nie Xiaoqian bowed to Bai Suzhen. Bai Suzhen returned the salute and said: "They are all their own sisters, Xiaoqian is talented and intelligent, and the harvest is beyond the reach of ordinary people." Nie Xiaoqian said: "It's a pity that I can't learn this kung fu, and there are too many skills to give up." Brother Xian, you can go out with confidence, and when you come back, I will definitely deduce those two peerless studies. ”
Murong Xu Immortal said: "Deducing martial arts, it takes a lot of effort, you try your best to do it, whether you succeed or not, it depends on the will of heaven, don't hurt your body because of this." Seeing that Nie Xiaoqian didn't think so, Murong Xu Xian had no choice but to pass the Nine Heavens Xuan Su Decision and pass on his heart to Bai Suzhen, and instructed: "Zhen'er, you look at Xia Xiaoqian." Bai Suzhen nodded lightly at him, and said in her heart: "Don't worry, official, Zhen'er will watch it." Deduce the mastery of learning, and Zhen'er will also share some of it. ”
Explain everything, Murong Xu Xian can travel with confidence. Out of the swallow dock, from Gusu City to the west. The main wharf of the Golden Dragon Gang is on a tributary of the Yangtze River south of Jinling City, near Jingming Temple. After two days of driving, Murong Xu Xian wanted to hurry up and return to Murong again, not to enter Jinling City, and to go straight to the Golden Dragon Gang. But Jinling City is the foothold of all sects and factions, and it is always good to explore the news of each faction and know a rough idea. Moreover, you can go to the Murong family stronghold to receive the news from Bai Suzhen, and visit the local family. Based on the above considerations, Murong Xu Xian and his entourage entered Jinling City to find an inn to stay in.
Jinling City is based on Zhongshan Mountain, facing the Yangtze River, since ancient times, it is called the city in the garden, there are Xuanwu Lake, Confucius Temple, Wuyi Lane, Stone Town and other places of interest. Jinling City is an important passage between the north and the south, there are countless merchants who come and go, there are many inns and restaurants, and the business is booming. And now that there are more martial arts people here, there are just a few more cars, and the inn will not be full. Some clever shopkeepers are still standing at the door, shouting at the street, introducing the store's signature dishes to attract business.
The stronghold of the Murong family is mainly used to deliver news, and it also bears the responsibility of finding out the news, and it is generally located in the inn. Because he wanted to receive the news, Murong Xu Xian had to turn a blind eye to those shouts, turned around a few alleys, and came to a secluded and elegant place, his own inn stronghold.
As soon as Murong Xu Xian and the girls found a table to sit down, the shopkeeper of the inn recognized his second son, and the shopkeeper hurriedly beckoned the shopkeeper to entertain him. Although the shopkeeper didn't know Murong Xu Xian, seeing that the shopkeeper was so eager, he brought a hot pot of tea over and said, "Childe, you drink some tea first, and the wine and food will come up in a while." ”
Murong Xu Xian let out a "grace", uncovered the tea lid, and after identifying the taste of tea, he was about to pour tea for the girls, Shuang'er took it with his hand, and said, "Young master, let's come here." "After Yan Ping, Ye Luyan, and Shi Jian saw it, it was not good to fight with Mrs., and when Shuang'er finished pouring out for Murong Xu Xian, when it was his turn, they all said that they didn't dare to bother Mrs. and wanted to come by themselves.
Shuang'er still wanted to pour tea, but the three daughters didn't let it, and Murong Xu Xian was about to persuade him, when Yeluyan said, "Young lady, our three martial arts are not as good as you and the young master." This way, tired, thirsty, how to relieve the dry throat with a glass? You have to drink several glasses in a row. It's too much trouble to wait for you, so let's do it ourselves. ”
Yeluyan was thick and fine, and she had already seen that Shuang'er had an easy-going personality and was not in a respectful position, so Yeluyan spoke loudly and persuaded Shuang'er with a straight mouth, which surprised Murong Xu Xian.
After a few cups of tea, the food and drinks have already come up. was about to move the chopsticks, and a man next to him was dissatisfied: "Shop! I came first, why haven't you even come up yet?! The table across the table is ahead of me? Murong Xu Xian looked at the man, and saw that he was dressed in rags, like a beggar, but his appearance was peculiar, and his eyebrows were all biased, making a sideways flying trend, looking like a god in the temple.
The shopkeeper said: "This brother, our store has steamed a few steamed buns for you, and it's not good yet." The man was furious, slapped the table and said, "Steamed buns? What steamed buns! What about the dishes I want? I want good wine! When did I say I wanted steamed buns?! The shopkeeper said: "This brother, the market value of the dishes you ordered is not small, but you have no long things, I'm afraid you have encountered difficulties recently." The store is so virtuous, I steamed a few steamed buns and entertained my brother..."
The man stared at the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "Hehe, the shopkeeper of this inn is really interesting... Anyway, don't you just think I don't have any money, I'll take it out-" The man reached out and groped for a while, but nothing came out... The man said embarrassedly: "Oops, I went to the gambling house before, and I lost, how did I forget..." The shopkeeper shook his head, and the man stretched out another finger and shook it: "It's better like this, I don't want the steamed buns, replace them with a pot of wine, ah no, half a pot!" Half a pot of wine! You always have leftovers from your guests, right? Just half a pot, half a pot will do! ”
The shopkeeper said: "This brother, don't embarrass me." In addition to steamed buns, leftovers and leftover wine, the store is never used to entertain guests, this matter is related to the reputation of the store, and it is not allowed to be sloppy. ”
The man scratched his head, made a very pity gesture, and said: "Alas, this is hard to come by!" With that, the man turned his gaze to Murong Xu Xian's side and landed on the wine jug on the table. The man's motionless gaze seemed as if Murong Xu Xian was going to finish drinking this pot of wine, as if he had done something very sorry for the man.
Murong Xu Immortal said coldly: How can I drink this...
Shuang'er covered his mouth and snickered, and said, "Young master, you see that this person is really interesting, he would rather be hungry and drink, I have never seen such a gluttonous mouth." ”
Murong Xu Xian had no choice but to hug the man and said, "This benevolent brother, meeting is fate, if you don't dislike it, and put the table together and have a drink together, how about it?" ”
The man laughed and said, "Very good." ”
After sharing the table, the man sat at the other end, ignoring a table of wine and food, half got up and took the wine jug excitedly, opened the lid of the jug, sniffed it, and praised, "It's so fragrant!" With that, he poured the wine into his own bowl. Listening to the sound, the momentum is too strong, and the wine splashes up, about to fly out of the edge of the bowl. After Yan Ping and Ye Luyan saw it, their faces were dissatisfied, and they said in their hearts that the young master had attracted a rough man who was addicted to alcohol, and he had no ability, and he was so anxious to pour wine that he had to spill good wine.
The man's expression was very smug, his arm shook, and he saw that the spilled drops of wine were just blocked back by the edge of the bowl.
Squire Jian's eyes turned, as if he had found something, but he was not sure.
Murong Xu Immortal Heart said: This is the kung fu of the beggar gang, and it is a good trick to drink the lotus palm. I only said that the lotus palm was used by the beggar disciples to catch the secret weapon, and I didn't know that it could be used in this way.
Just thinking about it, the system prompted that it was scanned, and it was indeed the lotus palm of the beggar gang.
Murong Xu Immortal Heart said: Just this lotus palm in his hand, this person must be above the seven bags of elders of the beggar gang... Whether it is seven bags or eight bags is unknown.
The man poured himself a bowl of wine, drank it all in a hurry, and praised it with a long "ah": "Good wine!" ”
Murong Xu Xian said: "This benevolent brother, under Murong Xu Xian, Gusu Murong Clan, ranks second. Murong Xu Xian had the intention of making friends, so he embraced the name.
The man smiled: "It turned out to be the second son of the Murong family. This immortal wine was invented by you, so this pot of wine should be drunk by me. ”
Murong Xu Immortal said: "How do you say this? ”
The man said: "You have a lot of money at home, but I only have this pot, and it is too stingy for you to divide it again." ”
Wan Yanping scolded: "Okay, you pretend to be a stupid man, my second son-in-law kindly invited you to drink, how did this wine become yours again?" ”
The man ignored it, and this time he directly put his mouth on the mouth of the wine jug, and took a big sip directly.
Wan Yanping said: "Alas? You—! ”
Shi Jian stopped Yan Ping and said with a smile: "Sister Ping, you can't see that this brother wants to compete with Gongzi for the amount of wine!" ”
Murong Xu Xian laughed and said, "Haha, since Brother Tai has a heart, he is not restrained. Shopkeeper, a few more pots of good wine! ”
The shopkeeper used a tray and served five more pots of wine, and Murong Xu Xian opened one of the bottles and poured a big sip with a grunt.
The man saw it and praised: "Good amount of wine!" ”
Murong Xu Immortal said: "Pass the prize!" But I don't know how much Brother Tai drinks! ”
The man said: "There are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation in half a sentence." ”
After hearing this, Yan Ping snorted coldly on the side.
Murong Xu Xian said: "A good sentence of wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, so please do it!" ”
The two of them drank two pots in a row, the wine was violent, and the man's face was flushed, but seeing that Murong Xu Xian's face did not change at all, he couldn't help but bow down. The man stopped drinking, reached out and grabbed a plate of meat dishes, and just took a big bite in his mouth.
Wan Yanping was stunned and said, "Why do you use your hands alone... We haven't eaten yet... Why don't you use chopsticks? ”
Shi Jian said: "Sister Ping, he eats meat so much, which means that he is convinced, which means that he has taken the young master." ”
Wan Yanping said: "There is also this kind of rule, why haven't I heard of it?" ”
Shi Jian said: "I haven't heard of it either, I guessed." ”
Ye Luyan said: "I have seen it. This is the rule of the beggar gang, but-" Ye Luyan changed his words and said: "There is a difference between the beggar gang and the beggar, and I don't know if he will use the martial arts of the beggar gang, many beggars pretend to be disciples of the beggar gang in this way, cheating and cheating." ”
After speaking, Yelu Yanhu looked at the man suspiciously. And the sword said "oh", suddenly realized, and muttered to himself in a low voice, "No wonder, that trick just now is a little familiar..."
The man didn't pay attention to the talk of the women, grabbed the dishes with one hand, drank with the other, and after a while, most of the dishes on the table, except for a few dishes that had not been touched, were gone.
The man said: "Today, the second son of Murong is entertained, and he is full of wine and food. There is still something important to do, and he will have a period in the future. ”
The man walked away, stumbling, every time he seemed to fall, but he could always sway upright, occasionally leaning on the table and chair on the side, the strength was very gentle, not half crooked, not the slightest sway.
Murong Xu Xian: This is the light work of the beggar gang, a getaway...
As soon as the man went out of the door, he heard the neighing of horses, mixed with the sound of bells, and then a delicate female voice shouted angrily: "Bah, where did the stinky wine beggar come from, disturbing my horse!" ”
