Chapter 51: Martial Arts (23)
"Oh? Where is she? Baizhu asked curiously.
"Don't talk about me, Brother Baizhu is now the young master of Yuelou, why did he appear alone in this Linping Town?"
"It's said that it's the young master," Baizhu shook his head helplessly, "In the middle of running away from home." It's the first time I've heard the title of young master? โ
"You don't know?" Shi Shilin seemed surprised, "It was Baili Fengqing who said it himself, and told the buildings, 'I Baili Fengqing only accepts this disciple of Baizhu in this life, and it is for the young master of Yuelou. โโ
Baizhu was silent for a moment.
"Brother Shi." Bai Zhu said like this: "Where am I the young owner of the Moon Tower, I don't know anything about the matter of the Moon Tower, does Brother Shi know anything?" Can you tell me about it? โ
Shi Shilin shook his head: "I'm just hearsay. I only know that there is a happy building in the moon building that is more famous. I don't know much about the others. โ
"Happy Building"
Shi Shilin squeezed his eyebrows and teased: "What, Brother Bai wants to see and see?" โ
Baizhu did not shy away from it: "That's exactly what I thought. It just so happened that a few days later was the day of the Oiran. Brother Shi wants to come along? โ
"Hahaha!" Shi Shilin laughed, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" โ
The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and they don't even feel unfamiliar. This is probably due to Shi Shilin's wonderful eloquence, what he said and how he chatted made people feel relaxed and happy.
The two lived in the same inn, so they often went to the restaurant together. Shi Shilin said that since he joined the beggar gang, he had never eaten a decent meal - Bai Zhu remembered the big meal he had in Yuelou and felt that he was so pitiful.
After dinner that night, the two walked and chatted back to the inn, passing by an alley, and in the corner of the alley were sporadically leaning on a few skinny beggars, staring inexplicably at the Baizhu who walked by. Just when Baizhu felt inexplicable, the beggars stood up and gradually became encircled.
Baizhu stood in place: "Why are you blocking our way?" โ
Shi Shilin approached Baizhu and whispered: "These are the people of Liao Qing, the eight-bag elder in the beggar gang, Liao Qing has always been hard at dealing with me, and he probably came to find me." You go quickly. As he spoke, he pulled out a dog-beating stick from the bag on his back and put on a posture of preparing for battle.
In front of him, a beggar with a horizontal scar on his right eye spat on the ground: "Shi Shilin! You dog mongrel! Don't think that the boss won't dare to do anything to you if he protects you! You betrayed the beggar gang, thinking that no one would know about the destruction of the corpse?! Phew! Cheap breed! Brothers! Call me!! โ
A few wooden sticks wrapped in the smell of dirty and stinking smashed their heads and faces. Baizhu pulled Shi Shilin to the side and rolled to the side: "Everyone, if you have something to say, do it again, don't blame me for being rude." โ
A beggar sneered: "What a strange problem with scholars! Did Lao Tzu tell you politely before he beat you? I'll blame you for being polite! โ
"Brother! Don't talk nonsense with that little white face, just kill them together, so that you can make the boss angry! โ
The martial arts of these beggar disciples are rare and powerful, one by one the tiger roaring with dog sticks and dancing, the air is like thunder, several sticks faintly form a circle of encirclement, and there are dancing stick shadows everywhere in front and back, making it difficult for people to move an inch.
Shi Shilin resisted with difficulty, but there were still a few mighty slashes towards the head and face of Baizhu, which was terrifying. Baizhu didn't talk nonsense, he directly pulled out his sword, and as soon as the sword move was used, the broken wood flew in an instant, and the beggars looked at the broken stick in their hands and were dumbfounded.
Shi Shilin looked at the remaining wooden corpse in his hand and smiled bitterly: "Brother Bai, why did you even cut my stick?" โ
Several beggars winked at each other and ran away. Baizhu didn't bother to chase it, after all, this is a matter of people's own sects, and it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish between right and wrong. It's just that I happened to meet it today, and Shi Shilin is his old friend, so he helped him, and the rest of the facts are not easy to interfere with.
Shi Shilin smiled: "Brother Bai doesn't ask what's going on?" โ
Baizhu said, "You can talk about it yourself."
The two of them seemed to regain their previous peace and well-being, and strolled back to the inn. For Baizhu, such a small episode really didn't matter, and his heart was tied to the Douhua Oiran two days later. He wanted to go to see the Moon Tower, and he also wanted to take advantage of the crowds to inquire about his master.
It is said that Fenglou is the most complete and powerful intelligence concentration place, and he should have gone to Fenglou, but he didn't know the specific location, and secondly, Fenglou didn't sell all the information. The information of the owners of each building is dense and secret, how can it be sold lightly.
In addition, I happened to come to Linping Town, and I happened to catch up with Douhua. Yuelou did such a living, almost the whole nest was dispatched that day, so it was just right to go to the side and knock on the side to see if he could ask any clues about the master.
When Baizhu thought of his master, his mind was chaotic. One moment I thought of Master's kindness to him, and another moment I thought of the dark side of Master that I had come into contact with in my haze.
He thought, he wanted to get to the bottom of two questions. What kind of person is Master? Why did Master become such a person? It's just that most of these questions don't have fixed answers, and it's not easy to find out.
He thought it would be better to start with something suspicious. He listed a few points for himself, and it would be best if he could directly find someone in the Yuelou who knew the details and ask them.
What is in his master's palm, and why is Sansiqi afraid of being like that?
Also, what did San47 experience? When we met again, I was completely suppressed in my nature, as if I had changed into a different person.
Third. Wu Lixin, the owner of the corpse coffin, said that she bought it from her master at a large price. What the hell is going on? Is it a corpse or a living person? Have you ever bought anyone else?
I think of Yuelou's occupation. Since ancient times, Qinglou, have there been fewer things to force good people to prostitute? And the master turned out to be the head of this organization, saying that he is a righteous man and a gentleman, will anyone believe him?
Baizhu covered his head.
Baizhu is just an ordinary person. He has what he likes and what he hates. He is obsessed with the tenderness of others, but sadly he can't let himself fall into superficial tenderness, his nature does not allow it. He witnessed Sansiqi's abnormality, which made him sad for a while, and Master kept reassuring him that he was fine, and Sansiqi was treated in Baicaomen. But in the blink of an eye, I saw Sansiqi's corpse standing in front of him in the form of a corpse, with ridiculous makeup, still the same height and state.
- In an instant, he understood that the master was lying. And I don't know how many such lies there will be.
The perfect soap bubble that had been before crumbled in his heart. What happened, he had to find out for himself.
Baizhu's feelings for Baili Fengqing are the beginning of longing, worship, tenderness, closeness, and wholehearted trust during the seven-year fermentation period, and then the illusion is shattered, and I want to really understand this person.
This is the unrequited love of atractylodes. From the hazy dream to the cruel reality, and until it is not far from shattering, Baizhu has not yet discovered.
***********************************************************
Bai Zhu and Shi Shilin returned to the inn, said goodbye, and went to their respective rooms to sleep without mentioning it. Bai Zhu couldn't sleep in this room, thinking about the Oiran Conference in two days, thinking about where and how to start checking.
On the other side, Shi Shilin's room, the bed was clean, the room was empty, and the people were gone.
On the outskirts, under an ancient tree, there are a few beggars, the same ones who blocked the road not long ago. The scar-eyed man rubbed the half-cut stick in his hand, and said unhappily: "That little white face, the kung fu is too good, this dog-beating stick has been with me for more than ten years, and he will cut it when he says it." โ
"Who isn't?" Shi Shilin leaned against the ancient tree and looked at the broken stick in his hand, "I think my skills are good, and this is still a good thing that the helper chose for me, and it โกโก sharpened crisply." He seems to have had great strength since he was a child, and at the age of 7 he dared to break the tiger's teeth, so that we could stab the evil tiger. He thought of the past, smiled slightly, and gritted his teeth and said, "Let alone later!" I followed a good master again! โ
"Don't be angry, boss. I can't kill him this time, but I can kill him one day. A group of beggars crouching at his feet shouted.
Shi Shilin shook his head with a wry smile: "How can it be so easy." You are all one of the best masters of my beggar gang, not to mention the dog-beating stick method, just the dog-beating stick is attached to your internal force, there is the power to destroy the withering and decaying, which is the general sword can be cut off. I don't know what adventures this Baizhu has had, and its power is far stronger than all of us. I'm afraid it will be difficult to move him in the future. โ
"Still." Shi Shilin smiled again, "Just because you're good at martial arts doesn't mean you can't die. Sooner or later, Baili Fengqing and Baizhu will be taken off by me and hung up in the Beggar Gang Gathering Hall! โ
"The boss is mighty!"
"Boss, you say whatever you say! We follow you! The beggars who were squatting on the ground waved their arms and shouted.
