Chapter 256: The White-Faced Scholar and the Journey to Heaven
Lu Yi looked at the Great Wisdom Monk with a confused expression, and asked suspiciously, "What to take?" Seeing that the Great Wisdom Monk put on a violent posture, he hurriedly dodged and retreated.
Seeing that Lu Yi had finally learned to behave, the Dazhi monk did not continue to start, but sat on the side of the bed with a golden knife, and said confidently: "Of course it's silver!" ”
Lu Yi suddenly cried and laughed: "I said big monk, what are you doing with money as a monk?" ”
The great wisdom monk glared and said, "Can't the monks ask for silver?" So how do I stay in the hotel? How to buy alcohol? How to eat meat? ”
Lu Yi knew that with the theory in front of him, it was estimated that he would not be able to finish it tomorrow, and in the end, he would have to obediently give the silver, so he was simply generous, and took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his arms and threw it over: "This place is only hundreds of miles away from Wudang Mountain, and it can be reached in four or five days at most, and this silver is enough for you to squander for half a month!" ”
The silver smashed head-on with the sound of breaking the sky, but the great wisdom monk did not panic, only to see that he waved his sleeves unhurriedly, and immediately unloaded the power on the silver, and the silver that was infused with two percent of the true qi by Lu Yi suddenly seemed to be held by an invisible rope, and obediently climbed into his shiny sleeves.
The great wisdom monk put away the silver, and touched it in the sleeve with his left hand, as if he was afraid of losing it, and then he smiled and said: "Good boy, you can be regarded as using the right place for this trick of throwing stones and asking for directions, how many are you throwing over, and the monk will give you a performance of the great mercy and compassion in the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin." ”
Lu Yi snorted coldly and said, "Great monk, this is already half of my family, okay?" "Anyway, he doesn't care about the great wisdom monk who is happy alone, he turns around and leaves.
As a result, before he could take two steps, he heard the great wisdom monk laugh and say, "Come and don't be rude, stinky boy, this is for you!" Then he heard a "whew", and something smashed into the back of his heart.
Lu Yi couldn't turn his head, and hurriedly used the second type in the palm of the floating cloud, "Who in the clouds will send the brocade book, when the swallow returns, the moon is full in the West Building" backhand pushed back and grabbed it, and then grabbed the thing that the great wisdom monk threw over in his hand, and then he looked back and saw that it was his own luggage.
"The stupid boy's trick is still decent, hurry up and get out, it'll be dawn later!" The great monk said that he went to bed, turned over, and then the thunderous shout sounded again.
Lu Yi smiled bitterly, put his luggage behind him, and wrapped the Chengying Sword in coarse cloth, and then pushed the door away.
When he went downstairs, Zhang Ye had already waited at the door with the shopkeeper, but as soon as he waved his hand, the shopkeeper took out a plate of silver and handed it over.
Lu Yi was about to excuse himself, but Zhang Ye had already spoken: "Lu Shaoxia, you must not excuse these silver taels, if you don't help us in the past two days, the consequences will be unimaginable, a little little courtesy will not become respect, and the right will be used for the young man's entanglement!" ”
Lu Yi was already planning to recruit Zhang Ye, but naturally he would not excuse himself too much at this time, and accepting the money would make Zhang Ye feel more at ease, so he no longer shirked, and stretched out his hand to take it: "Thank you so much!" ”
The two exchanged two more pleasantries, and when they walked outside the door, the shopkeeper had already led the horse over, and Lu Yi arched his hand to Zhang Ye, and said "There will be a period later" and turned over on the horse, beat the horse and galloped away, and disappeared after a short time.
However, it is said that Lu Yi galloped south by himself and on a horse, passing through Xiangyang and Jingmen day and night, and finally arrived at the Mawangmiao Wharf outside Jingzhou, an important town on the bank of the Yangtze River, at dusk the next day.
From a distance, I saw five tall ships parked at the wharf, people came and went on the wharf, loading and unloading boxes of goods on the five big ships, and the tall masts on the big ship headed by the wind were waving in the wind, and the word "Nangong" on it was extremely conspicuous, which was the merchant ship of the Nangong family.
Lu Yi listened to Li Mubai's introduction to the situation of the Nangong family, and knew that the Nangong family not only had a deep history of martial arts, but also had strong financial resources and rich Bashu, and almost every month, there were groups of merchant ships out of Bashu and down to the south of the Yangtze River, transporting the grain, silk, and brocade in Shu to all parts of the country, and at the same time buying tea, porcelain, fat powder and other valuable items from all over the country and transporting them back to Shuzhong, making huge profits from them.
Lu Yi led the horse and approached the dock, and saw that behind the five tall ships of the Nangong family, there were also seven or eight small boats, some of which were loaded with goods, and some were specially used to carry passengers, and there were no signs on the ship, but on each ship, there was a person dressed as a servant of the Nangong family shouting and commanding at the bow of the ship, it seemed that most of them were businessmen who were attached to the Nangong family because of their lack of financial resources, lack of force, and wanted to make money.
Seeing that there were still piles of goods on the dock that had not been transported onto the ship, Lu Yi was already exhausted from the long journey by himself and his horse, so he found a tavern on the edge of the dock, ready to eat some food to fill his stomach, and by the way, see if there was a chance to get on the ship of the Nangong family.
There were already a lot of guests sitting in the tavern, and it seemed that most of them were preparing to take a boat to Shu.
The shopkeeper saw that although Lu Yi was in the dust, he was dressed in splendid clothes, the horses were vigorous, and the instruments were extraordinary, so he greeted him attentively, and while shouting at the tavern to find a seat, he helped Lu Yi tie the horse and feed the horse.
Lu Yi walked into the tavern and saw that the guests in the window seats were just getting up to leave, so he walked over, and the shopkeeper had already rushed back to avoid wiping the tables and chairs while laughing: "This son, what do you think you need?" ”
Lu Yi was about to open his mouth to ask what dishes were in the store, when a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, and then he heard a "bang", and saw a person sitting down on the other side, and he couldn't help frowning.
Although this tavern is a mixed place, the people who come are too rude, right?
Lu Yi frowned and looked at the visitor, only to see that the other party was about thirty years old, wearing a cyan robe, with a crown of jade on his head, a folding fan in his hand, and a fair complexion.
Just when Lu Yi was observing the other party, the scholar was also observing him, and he was obviously stunned when he saw Lu Yi's face, but this look of doubt quickly disappeared, and Lu Yi didn't notice it.
"This son, the hall is full, there is no other seat, I wonder if I can rest here for a while?" The white-faced scholar looked at Lu Yi with a smile and asked.
Lu Yi is not an eventful person, although the other party was abrupt before, he was polite when he spoke, and it is estimated that he also went out to practice, thinking of his experience when he first entered the rivers and lakes, his dissatisfaction suddenly went a lot, and he nodded and said: "Son, please!" ”
Lu Yi ordered a few dishes, and asked the shopkeeper when the boat at the pier would start, so he moved his eyes to the window.
He always felt that the scholar opposite him was weird, as if he had been secretly looking at him, which made him a little uncomfortable.
After the shopkeeper wrote down the dishes ordered by Lu Yi, he turned his gaze to the white-faced scholar, and the white-faced scholar laughed softly: "Just order according to this son, give me a copy too!" ”
The shopkeeper looked at the white-faced scholar suspiciously, and then at Lu Yi, wondering in his heart, could it be that the two of them couldn't get to know each other?
However, seeing that Lu Yi and the two of them had weapons in their hands, he didn't dare to ask more, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Wait a while, the meal will be ready soon!" And he left in a hurry.
He is just a shopkeeper, and it is better to mix things in the rivers and lakes, just half a month ago, he saw with his own eyes that two guests in the tavern disagreed and fought, and finally died and injured and blood spattered.
When Lu Yi heard that the white-faced scholar ordered the same meal as him, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle again, and he said in his heart, didn't the other party deliberately go against me? But after thinking about it, Lu Yi couldn't remember when he had offended the person in front of him.
At this moment, the white-faced scholar suddenly smiled and said, "This brother? Why do you keep frowning? Something must have happened, didn't it? I wonder if I can help you? ”
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!
This was Lu Yi's first reaction after hearing the words of the white-faced scholar, could it be that he fell in love with the sword in his hand? Or do you have a crush on the entanglement in your luggage?
Although the white-faced scholar looked soft and weak, Lu Yi didn't believe that he was a powerless person.
"I won't bother my brother's kindness in the future!" Lu Yi said lukewarmly.
He is no longer a stupid boy who just entered the rivers and lakes and didn't understand anything, the people on the rivers and lakes are sinister, he doesn't believe that when they meet, the other party will really help him solve problems.
The white-faced scholar didn't care, but said with interest: "In that case, why don't you let me guess it?" Could it be that Brother Tai wants to take the merchant ship of the Nangong family into Shu? ”
Lu Yi was suddenly shocked, quietly reached out and clenched the Chengying Sword in his hand, slowly retracted his gaze, stared at the white-faced scholar and said, "How can you see it?" ”
The white-faced scholar Bei Lu Yi's gaze was a little unnatural, she moved her body back, kept a certain distance from Lu Yi, and said with a smile: "There is no it, but I just heard Brother Tai ask the shopkeeper about the time of the boat, and I saw that Brother Tai has been staring at the mast of the Nangong family, so I guessed it." ”
If it weren't for the white-faced scholar's somewhat hoarse voice, his voice would be very crisp.
Lu Yi smiled noncommittally: "Brother Tai's words, I'm afraid they didn't say it to Zaixia, but to themselves, right?" ”
A strange look suddenly flashed in the white-faced scholar's eyes, and then he shook his head and smiled: "Brother Tai's words are wrong, what I mean below is that if Brother Tai wants to take a boat into Shu, I may be able to help one or two." ”
Lu Yi looked at the white-faced scholar with interest, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile: "Oh? But I don't know how you can help? "If the other party makes any changes, Lu Yi doesn't mind using the unskilled Cloud Breeze Palm Technique to deal with him.
Sure enough, as Lu Yi expected, as soon as his momentum gathered, the white-faced scholar's body quietly overflowed with a soft breath, and the momentum that was immediately suppressed disappeared invisibly, and then looked at the white-faced scholar's expression, still smiling, as if nothing had happened.
As soon as they fought, Lu Yi noticed that the other party's aura seemed to be weak, but in fact it was deep and long, as if it was a bottomless lake, and the other party's kung fu was much higher than his.
Lu Yi couldn't help but be secretly frightened, he didn't expect to meet a master in a small tavern, and a strong sense of unease suddenly surged in his heart, and he was suddenly a little more worried about this trip to Tianfu.
