In the martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River, many of the eight gangs and ten guilds in the world are deeply rooted here. But in Yangzhou, when it comes to being famous, the Bamboo Flower Gang and Shilong Wuchang are the most famous.

Although the Zhuhua Gang is in Yangzhou for a while, it can be put in the whole Jianghu on the strength of the general, they often pretend to be the gang members of this gang, and the three of them are friends with the incense lord Gui Xiliang after coming to Yangzhou. Although his gang leader Yin Kaishan has heroic ambitions, he has no heroic spirit, and is obsessed with the famous Yuling girl of Tianxian Building.

Under the gang leader, there is a military division, followed by the four halls of "wind, sunshine, rain, and dew", leading the helmsman below, the incense master and the gangsters, and the power is greatly decentralized, and the gang members determine the identity with the bamboo branches, and the gang leader has ten bamboos, once every three years, the bamboo forest conference, to discuss the future plan and direction of the gang.

However, although the Bamboo Flower Gang has a large number of disciples, it is still inferior to the Shilong Martial Arts Field in Yangzhou. Due to the unquiet in the world, thieves and thieves are everywhere, and everyone is in danger, and the first thing that the world is prosperous is the martial arts halls and dojos in various places.

If Yangzhou's martial arts hall talks about the prestige of scale, it is the first to promote the Shilong martial arts field founded by Shi Long, who has reached the realm of first-class masters in both internal and external skills, although in the past ten years, Shi Long has rarely come to the venue to manage affairs, and all the business is taken care of by the disciples, but because the martial arts field is hung with his name, so those who come from near and far are still on the way.

Moreover, Shi Long has a good nature, is single and does not marry, lives alone in a small village on the outskirts of the city, does not leave the house, and regularly sends people to send people to send the necessary daily necessities, but Haihu knows that it is Shi Long who studies the "Recipe of Longevity" in it every day and night. Of course, Tian Wen, a teacher who is famous for his poetry and writing, is Shilong's best friend and will also visit him there

Hmph, Shilong is good by nature and is celibate and does not marry. Tian Wenwen is graceful and graceful, with a clean breeze on his sleeves, the rhythm of these two people's good friends. attacked and suffered, and there was no wife to drag him down.

Haihu sneered in his heart, he was determined to achieve the secret of immortality. Daomen on this book is passed on by word of mouth throughout the ages, very few people have seen the secret of longevity, it is said that this book is not invaded, it is the ancient Yellow Emperor's teacher Guangchengzi written in oracle bone inscription, esoteric and difficult to understand, the sages have read this book, although there is no lack of wisdom through the generations, but no one can understand through, deciphering the whole book. There are 7,400 glyphs in the book, but only about 3,000 glyphs have been deciphered.

The book is also densely covered with the annotations of those who have read this book, but it is often more confusing than the original text, fortunately there are seven humanoid figures in the book, none of the postures are facing each other, and with various symbols such as red dots, arrows, etc., as if to describe a certain method of cultivation, but those who do not understand its meaning do not practice, if you reluctantly follow one of the symbols to urge the internal qi, immediately the qi and blood are churning, and with the more will go mad, extremely dangerous.

As for practicing the Longevity Formula, it will go crazy, but the Sea Tiger scoffs at it, because the True Qi of the Longevity Formula is very unique and does not dissolve in any other True Qi, so those who have practiced internal strength cannot cultivate the Longevity Formula, and forced cultivation will definitely conflict with themselves. Therefore, people who have not practiced any martial arts can practice the secret of longevity in order to play an unexpected role.

Of course, he can't understand the oracle bones, and Haihu knows this, because he has watched "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" before he crossed in his previous life.

Looking at the sky getting darker and darker, most of the buildings in this overgrown abandoned manor have long been in disrepair, wind and rain erosion, ants and insects gnawing and collapsing, Haihu shook his head helplessly, here, after all, is not his long-term place, in the future, it will be a dragon or a worm, it depends on Nayu culture and when it will go down to Yangzhou.

As the sky gradually brightened, Yangzhou City gradually became lively. After the city gate was opened, the merchants and peasants rushed to enter and exit the city gate. The boats that arrived yesterday were unloaded at the wharf and sent into the city at this time. From Yangzhou to the east of the Yangtze River, you can go to sea to the Wa Kingdom, Ryukyu and Nanyang places, so Yangzhou has become one of the most important transfer stations in the country, busier and more intense than any city.

There are a total of five markets in Yangzhou City, among which the South Gate Market facing the Yangtze River is the most prosperous, providing dozens of stalls that provide all kinds of food, different sizes, it is an ideal place for passengers who are ready to go to the river to take a boat to enter the morning repair.

Of course, in addition to being the hub of transportation, Yangzhou is also a famous fireworks resort since ancient times, whether it is a wealthy businessman with a lot of money, or a famous man with literary style, a swinger of fencing, if you do not visit here, you are not a good man in the wind and moon field.

Therefore, the daily situation in the field is prosperous, and we can see each other.

Among the food stalls at the south gate, Lao Feng's vegetable and meat buns are the most famous. In addition, the old concubine Feng Xiaofei, who specializes in selling steamed buns, is born with a beautiful appearance and moon appearance, and has become a living signboard for attracting business.

After dawn, Haihu went out to look for breakfast, and after a while, he had already brought back nine vegetable buns, Kou Zhong grabbed three of them, put them in his mouth to eat Haisai, and said in a vague voice: "Is this the last time again?" ”

Haihu gave Xu Ziling three words: "Don't talk about sister-in-law like that!" He is a rare kind-hearted person in the world, we Yangzhou a tiger and two dragons have no arrears, and we will repay her well when we are developed in the future. ”

Xu Ziling was already eating the third bun at this time, and frowned: "How many kind-hearted people like her are there in Yangzhou now?" It's a pity that her mother's family owes silver taels, and her father regards wealth as his life, so he sold her to the stinky old Feng as a concubine. ”

Among the three of them, Haihu is quite handsome, as tall as Xu Ziling, but unfortunately the long-term malnutrition has made him thin, and he is wearing tattered clothes, which makes people look like they see a stray dog and have a sense of pity.

Xu Ziling is very likable, the best of the three, with long and elf-looking eyes, a high nose, a broad forehead, and a sunny smile on the corner of his mouth. If it weren't for the oily face and ragged clothes, the appearance was really good. Now! It doesn't dare to compliment people.

Although Kou Zhong is one year older than Haihu and Xu Ziling, he is half an inch shorter than the two, with broad shoulders and thick arms, and is quite stout. Although he owes Xu Ziling the handsomeness, he has big ears, and his silhouette has a strong taste full of manliness, and his demeanor is indifferent, which is very attractive; His eyes are deep and smart, and he is by no means inferior to Xu Ziling, which makes people feel that this son is not a thing in the pool, but his clothes are more filthy than Xu Ziling, and he is not much better than a little beggar.

Since the sea tiger god form can arouse the kindness of well-wishers, he will solve the breakfast. In fact, where would the sea tiger not know, Sister-in-law Zhen was often beaten by Lao Feng's eldest woman until she was scarred, if it weren't for Sister-in-law's beautiful appearance, Lao Feng would have relied on her to solicit the business of the bun shop, but I was afraid that she would have been killed.

As for lunch, it was solved by Xu Ziling, and dinner was stolen by Kou Zhong in the fireworks land of Chunxiang Building, and the three of them performed their own duties, although their lives were extremely hard, they couldn't eat enough and starved to this day.

After breakfast, the three of them strolled out to the streets, picking out those old fools who were a little older, gorgeously dressed, single, and full of worries, and didn't know what they had done when they dropped their money bags, and they also called robbing the rich and helping the poor.

It's just that this time the fat sheep didn't meet, so they had to find an old man to start, because they had to hand over filial piety and silver taels to the boss of the gangsters near the broken courtyard every day, and if they didn't hand it in for a day, they would be severely beaten. However, after they got their hands on it, the old man seemed to have noticed it, sat on the ground and became miserable, and said that it was life-saving money for his wife's medical treatment, and now it was stolen, and he really wanted two lives, and he didn't want to live.

Seeing this situation, Kou Zhong wanted to deduct half of the silver money and return the rest to others, but Xu Ziling didn't do it, and insisted that he return it all as it was, so Kou Zhong saw that Haihu was also your leader, and he couldn't resist Xu Dashan's contemptuous gaze, so he had to fraudulently pick up the money bag and return it to others.

So the three of them walked around, and when the city gate was about to close, they did not find any more fat sheep.

"What do you do now, I'm going to be beaten again at night."

Kou Zhong and the three of them went to a secluded place and said bitterly: "Boss Yan will kill the three of us today." Hearing this, Xu Ziling also trembled and said, "It's better to go and find the fat sheep again." Kou Zhong said: "How can there be so many fat sheep, you don't know how closely people look at money now, now the city gates are about to close, I'm afraid that as soon as people see the three of us, they will run away with their pockets in their pockets." ”

For this scene, Haihu knows a little, there is such a description in the original book, it is said that Kou Xu and the others did not hand in filial piety money, and were beaten by Boss Yan at night, and at that time, it was the moment when Yu Wenhua and went to find Shi Long, and it was also the moment when Fu Junwu, the first apprentice of Goryeo Yijian Master, came to the mountain temple outside Yangzhou.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling saw that Haihu was silent, thinking that they were stupid by the three words of Boss Yan, and then Kou Zhong shook him and said, "Hai Shao, are you okay?" ”

"Well, it's fine."

Haihu came back to his senses, looked at the two brothers of life and death, and said with some determination on his face: "Let's go!" Leaving Yangzhou, I don't want to see Boss Yan's fierce god again, go back now and take out all the money in my private collection, and the three of us will fly away and leave the broken place of Yangzhou. ”

Seeing this, Xu Ziling also nodded and said: "That's right, the sky and the earth are big, I don't believe that the three of us can starve to death." As he spoke, he whispered, "As long as you can avoid the beating tonight, you can go anywhere." It seems that he is also deeply afraid that Boss Yan's fist will fall on him.

"You guys!"

Kou Zhong sighed helplessly, he didn't think about leaving Yangzhou, after all, he wanted to go to the rebels, and if he didn't leave here, how could he have the money to take refuge. It's just that at the moment, Kou Zhong hasn't figured out where to go, and he is the style of a general, but now these two brothers have nothing to say, so he has no choice but to catch the duck on the shelf and say: "Let's go, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, if we don't take this step, our travel expenses will never be enough." ”

Seeing this, Haihu smiled and said, "You guys go now, go out of the city and wait for me there." Saying that, he pulled the two of them and whispered for a while, seeing that the two of them first shook their heads, Haihu whispered again, and finally the two had to nod helplessly, and Haihu said: "The matter is so decided, if I don't come, you must hide." ”

"I know, three brothers in the world, if you don't come, we won't leave."

Kou Zhong sighed helplessly.

"After getting the money, you must go out of the city, even if the city gate is closed, you must hide it first, and you must not let Boss Yan find you. We will surely wait for you outside the city, and die and wait. ”

Xu Ziling also said.

After that, the three of them said goodbye, and seeing that the two of them were in addition to the city gate, Haihu looked in the direction of the abandoned courtyard where he lived, and quickly ran over. Under an overgrown courtyard wall, Haihu took out more than two taels of silver that they had secretly hidden over the years, put it in his pocket and watched the night gradually darken, and walked out of the dilapidated deserted courtyard alone that he had vowed never to come back again.
