Chapter 19: Zhu Yuan broke through three passes in a row, and the old man turned into an enemy division
On the way back to the county seat, Nie Yun, the fourth master, told me about the recent situation of the Yihui Gang.
Nie Yun said: "This second master, Zhu Chun, is rude by nature, narrow-minded, and relied on brute force to reluctantly recruit a group of brothers to become bandits on Mogu Mountain, specializing in some cruel people and harmful things, and forcibly taking and plundering, and people within a radius of hundreds of miles hated him.
Since the eldest brother Guo Qinghui fled here and went up the mountain to worship his brother, but this mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and this Zhu Chun is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Brother Guo has been excluded from the power of the cottage, and can only drink every day to kill his sorrows.
In the first two years, the people suffered from the cottages and went to the Yamen to complain, and the Yamen was forced to send troops to Mugu Mountain to suppress the bandits. At this time, Zhu Chun panicked, and he was able to deal with some ordinary people on weekdays, but when he met the real officers and soldiers, he immediately wilted, and the officers and soldiers came at that time, not to mention that the two or three hundred people could not drain the water around Mogu Mountain, and Zhu Chun couldn't resist it, so he went to help the eldest brother Guo Qinghui. Guo Qinghui analyzed Zhu Chun at that time, offered suggestions, and guaranteed that he would be able to retreat from the besieged officers and soldiers with the thirty or fifty people of the cottage. Zhu Chun was very happy after hearing this, and asked everyone to follow Guo Qinghui to retreat from the enemy, Brother Guo is worthy of leading soldiers to fight, and within three days, he was stunned to beat the officers and soldiers who came to besiege and fled, and the brothers were very happy.
After a long time, everyone admired the eldest brother's personality and talent, so many people followed Brother Guo, Zhu Chun saw that the general trend had gone, in order to protect his position, he took the initiative to give up the position of the big boss to Guo Qinghui, and the whole village recommended the big brother to be the big boss.
Since the eldest brother Guo Qinghui was in charge of the cottage, he began to formulate gang rules, restraining the brothers in the gang, not allowing the brothers to rob the people at will, the power of Mogu Mountain increased greatly, and the unemployed people in the surrounding neighboring townships came to take refuge, the eldest brother often said that the brothers were born in poor families, and for various reasons they were forced to embark on the "Liangshan Road", but to be a man is to be chivalrous, and must not turn back to persecute the poor, so the cottage is strictly disciplined, and the rewards and punishments are clear.
The two masters, Zhu Chun, are flattering on the surface, but behind the scenes, he is really a villain who is flattering and disobedient, and he doesn't take the rules set by the eldest brother in his eyes at all.
It didn't take long for Zhu Chun, the second master, to live in a panic on the mountain, and often threw it to the county seat to get away, who would have thought that this guy had fallen in love with a mansion in the county, and sent his men to slaughter the family at night, dominating the daughter and wife of the family, and forcibly occupying the house. The eldest brother wanted to investigate his intentional murder and seizure of the house, and urged him to go back to the village many times to explain clearly, but this Zhu Chun always prevaricated for various reasons, but he just didn't come back. The eldest brother had no choice but to go down the mountain to question in person, but there was no news of him this time.
The brothers were anxious to go to investigate, but this Zhu Chun said that the eldest brother had something to do to go back to Henan to deal with the affairs of the family, and he would not be able to come back in a few months. This Zhu Chun also returned to the cottage in a grand manner, because he was the second master, and the eldest brother was not the biggest in him, so no one dared to do anything to him.
Unexpectedly, this guy bought the gangster and cook of the cottage, and put sweat medicine in everyone's meals, and he and Jia Pengfei, the third master, who had already conspired, easily seized the cottage and imprisoned all of us who followed Brother Guo. Only then did we wake up to the fact that Zhu Chun went down the mountain to live in the county seat, what kind of pleasure was it, but it was just a pretext created to plot to seize power! ”
After the four masters finished speaking, I was a little puzzled, how could these two masters be so reckless, how could they come up with such an insidious and ingenious strategy, and the four masters also shook their heads and said they didn't know.
I immediately asked how Zhu Chun was doing in Suide County, and Nie Yun said: "There are three secret strongholds of our gang in Suide County, which must have been occupied by Zhu Chun's subordinates long ago, otherwise the big boss would not have seen them come back to report if something happened to him." And Zhu Chun's main forces are concentrated in the "Zhu Garden" in Suide County.
In order to protect himself, Zhu Chun rebuilt his "Zhu Garden" as solid as a copper wall, with organs and secret passages all over it, and if he was not careful, he would die in an instant, and these were all heard by the brothers inside. We and the second master also meet and say hello on weekdays, and our hearts are like mirrors, he will never let our people in, as for what this "Zhu Yuan" is like, we don't know at all! ”
After listening to Nie Yun, I don't know what's going on in my heart, I feel very bad, and I don't know how Uncle Wu is doing now?
Our group has come to Suide County in a short time, it is already dusk, everyone is tired after a day's work, and they are already hungry. I arranged for everyone to have a full meal at Yuelai Inn, and I don't know what kind of things are waiting for you tonight!
I called the shopkeeper to inquire about the situation in Suide County, and the shopkeeper couldn't say why, but he heard that the two errand servants who came to eat said that they would execute a few bandit leaders in public at noon every day, and said that these people were pitiful, saying that they would be executed tomorrow, and that they would not be able to pass tonight, and they would be tortured in prison with only one breath, and tomorrow's execution would be just a walk-in process.
After hearing this, I was even more anxious, Uncle Wu was still in their hands, and the government must have accepted the benefits of Zhu Chun and executed Uncle Wu as a bandit. Thinking about it, I didn't have the heart to eat at all, so I asked everyone to continue eating, and I went back to the room to think about how to rescue Uncle Wu.
Now the situation is more complicated, and the government is also involved, and things are even more difficult to handle.
And how did this reckless man Zhu Chun come up with such a clever plan, which can not only get rid of dissidents, but also turn his identity as a bandit into a hero to save the world, what kind of master is making suggestions in the middle? Is it Jia Pengfei?
Probably not, he is now locked up on Mogu Mountain, and I have seen it, and he doesn't look like a scheming person; Is that still Nie Yun, the fourth master, acting in a play to deceive us? But since I came into contact with him, I haven't noticed anything wrong with him.
I thought about it, my mind became confused, and I didn't know what to do for a while, and time passed little by little, and there was not much time left for us. I held my breath and calmed my mind, and after half a pillar of incense, I pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
The moment I pushed the door open, the beggars, the caravan guys, the old man, and Nie Yun had been standing in front of my door for a long time after eating, and they were all anxious, watching me come out, and they came to ask me what to do. I looked at them and smiled, then called the beggar aside and whispered a few words to the beggar, who was at first full of doubt, then nodded happily and hurried out. I summoned the caravan guys and whispered a few more words to them, and the caravan guys nodded their heads and left the inn.
Now there are only the old man and Nie Yun left, I walked over to them and said: "Don't hide it from the two of you, I have no choice now, so let them go out to explore the road first, and the most important thing for us now is to go to the prison of the official yamen to confirm whether the big boss and Uncle Wu are where, Nie Dangjia, you take these hundred and ten brothers to go, no problem, right?" ”
After hearing this, Nie Yun laughed and said, "Brother Murong is really good at picking people, of course there is no problem with our brother!" ”
Then the four masters went out and went out with the brothers in the gang as instructed.
The old man watched everyone go out one by one and asked anxiously: "Everyone has something to do, you let me do something, it's okay to be an errand runner for everyone!" ”
I smiled and said to the old man: "What do you want to do as a powerless scholar, you are still obediently by my side, and I can protect you!" ”
The old man said with an aggrieved face: "Then we are just here waiting for them to come back?" ”
I smiled and said, "Of course not! ”
The old man hurriedly asked, "Then what are we doing?" ”
I threw down a sentence of "Zhu Yuan" and went out of the inn, the old man didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, I had already gone out of the distance, and the old man hurriedly ran after him.
On the way here, I heard the location of "Zhu Yuan" from the four masters, although I don't know where it is, but Suide County is so big, and it is natural to ask someone to know.
Immediately I saw a sugar gourd seller and stepped forward to ask, the sugar gourd seller pointed in the direction with his finger, and I took the old man to walk in the direction he pointed.
Crossing two streets, walked across a stone bridge, came to an alley, this alley is not long, you can see the end when you stand at the head, just in the middle of this alley, a huge vermilion gate tower stands where, the plaque reads the word "Zhu Yuan".
This Zhu Chun is really a master who can pick, the back of this house is against the mountain, and there is a river in front, which can really be described as a feng shui treasure land by the mountains and rivers. There are no guards at the gate of "Zhu Yuan", and there is no secret guard on the roof and wall, I can't help but stand on the cold hair, the ancients often said that "the most dangerous place is the safest place", on the contrary, this seemingly safe place is full of dangers.
I walked straight to the door, the old man shrank behind and pulled my shirt, I turned my head to look, the old man looked very scared, I patted him on the shoulder and went to knock on the vermilion door, before I knocked down, the door opened by itself, it seems that this Zhu Chun has been prepared, as if he knew that we are coming.
I calmed down and walked in slowly, everything in front of me surprised me very much, the interior layout of this Zhu Garden is very clever, a tree and a grass, a pavilion and a pavilion, all according to the five elements of the gossip position, what kind of person is this Zhu Chun, according to the four masters said that it is clearly a wine bag and rice bag, but everything in front of me does not seem to be done by a market person, I am really puzzled. At this time, I have come to the front yard, the huge front yard is empty, a few strange stone pillars stand in the front yard around it looks eerie, I look around, what catches my eye is an ancient Nine Palace Bagua Array.
According to legend, this Nine Palaces Bagua Array is a battle array arranged by Zhuge Liang in accordance with the direction of the Nine Palaces Bagua and the principle of the Five Elements in the Three Kingdoms Period, which is enough to resist thousands of troops and horses. The nine palaces are one palace Kan (north), the second palace Kun (southwest), the third palace Zhen (east), the fourth palace Xun (southeast), the fifth palace in the middle (sent to Kun), the sixth palace (northwest), the seventh palace (northwest), the eighth palace Gen (northeast), the nine palaces (south), the nine palaces are the framework and position of the row, it is the combination of Luo Shu and the acquired gossip, the number of the middle palace is five, sent to the Kun Palace.
The Bagua Array is a more subtle formation derived from the image of Tai Chi, and there is a saying that goes like this: "Tai Chi gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip". Regarding the gossip, the earliest saying is that Fu Xi is the king of the world, he explores the mysteries of nature outward, looks inward into his heart, and finally deduces the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, in which the eight hexagrams contain eight kinds of hexagram meanings: "Qian is a horse, Kun is a cow, Zhen is a dragon, Xun is a chicken, Kan is a pig, Li is a pheasant, Gen is a dog, and Dui is a sheep", which are the meaning of eight totems. There are eight doors in the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, which are the Gate of Rest, the Gate of Life, the Gate of Injury, the Gate of Du, the Gate of Jing, the Gate of Death, the Gate of Shock, and the Opening of the Door.
Although this Nine Palaces Bagua Array is exquisite and ever-changing, it has been much more streamlined than the formation of Zhuge Wuhou back then, and the people who set up this formation from the formation are proficient in the principle of the Five Elements Bagua Mutual Restraint, but they are limited by the geographical environment, and this formation cannot exert its original power at all, and can only be regarded as a trick to bluff ordinary people.
Breaking this simple formation is very simple for me, and I can solve it by trying. I had a little luck, jumped up and flew to the position of the door of death, and there was no movement after landing, my heart was full of joy, as I expected, the first step I had already guessed the eight points of this gossip array, but I also wanted to see how much ability this person in the formation had, and jumped up and jumped to the position of the gate again.
But before I could hit the ground, three powerful crossbows swished at me from the grass, and the speed was so fast that I did not dare to slack off, and the lightning cast a dragon all over the world, and three arrows flew past me with my clothes.
Before I could rejoice, a boulder above my head flew out of nowhere and smashed heavily at me, I took advantage of the situation, and Ling Yan dodged the boulder sideways with a move, and the boulder fell to the ground with a bang and shook the dust, and I landed on the Shengmen with my remaining strength. I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in my heart, this kind of gossip array entered from the east "Shengmen", went to the southwest "Humen" to kill, and then "opened the door" from the north, this array can be broken.
I didn't want to think about it too much, I broke this Nine Palace Bagua Array with three strokes and five divisions, and the command flag next to the formation fell to the ground with a bang, which was enough to prove that this formation was broken, and I strode forward.
I walked through the front yard to the atrium, and then I took a closer look at the house in the front yard, which was built with a carved tree. "Carved beams and painted glazed tiles, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum rich family. Yan Wu Sheng Song will be drunk tomorrow, and he will freeze to death and starve to death. ”
I couldn't help but be fascinated by the magnificence of this house, and sighed casually. At this critical juncture, I am still in the mood to recite poems against each other, and I really admire my calmness. Don't think about it, went straight to the atrium, the scene in front of me surprised me again, the atrium is larger than the front yard, carved on a huge chessboard, the flags on it are the size of a millstone, this is not to say that there is a hundred or ten pounds of weight, ordinary people can't move at all.
I took a closer look at the only remaining pieces on the board, and I didn't want to start from scratch at all, and I put on the endgame of "Conquering the West" at the beginning. Although this "Great Expedition to the West" is not as famous as the "Seven Star Gathering", after careful study by later people, the "Great Expedition to the West" is the most profound and the most complex changes, and even the "Seven Star Gathering" of the king of the row is far inferior.
Playing chess is okay for me, but I haven't practiced to the point where I can solve the first endgame in the world, I really don't know what this Zhu Chun thinks, if he wants to fight, he will come out and have a happy fight, and he has to get some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to disguise himself, does it show that he is an elegant Confucian scholar?
Since I was not sure, I wanted to use light skills to cross over, how could I be in the mood to play chess with them, I just wanted to move, but found that dozens of crossbows around me were facing me, although it was enough to deal with these crossbows, but it was not cost-effective to consume some internal force for these purposes, and I didn't know what was waiting for me behind.
Before I could finish thinking about it, the other party had already started, and I had no choice but to get out of the car six into one; The opponent's artillery is three and four, and our car is six and seven; The opponent's soldiers are five and four, and I will enter six into one; The opponent's artillery retreated four and retreated, and I lost five and four; The other party is handsome six and five, and I am the former pawn and five; The other party is handsome with five draws and six, and I am with five draws and four draws...... So we went 39 rounds without a win, and it turned out to be a draw. I thought this was over, and I had already raised my luck to prepare for the sudden change, but at this time all the chess pieces on the chessboard were moved to both sides, leaving only an empty chessboard, I waited for a long time and did not react and boldly walked forward a few steps, seeing that there was nothing wrong, and strode towards the backyard.
The backyard is much smaller than the front yard and the atrium, but there is a little more elegance, the small bridge flows, the rockery garden is very clean, trickling, a man in white with a white veil wearing a hat sits on the stone bridge, holding a zither in his hand.
I couldn't help but laugh secretly, this Zhu Chun really regarded himself as a literati and elegant guest, I didn't care about these and walked straight to this man in white, who knew that my front feet had not touched the ground, only to hear the sound of the guzheng, a fierce sword qi attacked me, I took a small step back, and cast the Dou Zhuan Star Shift to turn the oncoming sword qi without a trace.
The man in white saw that I was safe, his body moved slightly and seemed a little surprised, this demeanor was fleeting, he quickly played a song "Mountains and Flowing Water", all kinds of sword qi attacked me in all directions, sometimes as powerful as a sharp knife, sometimes soft as cotton, suddenly loud four periods, and then the bass lingered, no matter what, any kind of as long as I can't resist it, I will die instantly.
This kind of ability to penetrate the internal strength into the voice is already extremely profound, which shows that the internal strength of this man in white is extraordinary. I can't allow me to retreat half a step, I will resist the sound of the white-clothed man's zither, step by step towards him, the white-clothed man first sitting, and then simply squatting in the air to put the zither on his lap, the sound of the zither is getting closer and closer, like thousands of drizzles stabbing at me, I dodge left and right, jumping up and down like a ball of cotton easily shuttled in this dense sword rain, and when I approached the man in white, I cast a fighting star shift, and all the sword qi that came was turned into my body.
The moment I walked to the man in black, I instantly exerted the internal force accumulated in my body and collided with the sword qi of the man in white's last struggle, the zither slammed, all the strings were broken, and the man in white sat on the ground and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this situation, the man in white has no power to fight back, I am about to step forward to unveil the man in white to see if it is sacred to Hefang, and suddenly hundreds of big men holding steel knives poured out from all directions, and there were dozens of archers on the periphery eyeing me. A man with a round face and a slight beard walked out, and it seemed that it should be the leader of this group, and it was the person who drank tea in the stands on the street in Suide County that day.
This man walked up to me and shouted in a thick northern Shaanxi accent: "I didn't see Lan, looking at the weak little body, how could you break the three levels of Russia in a row, are you lucky to be on Lan?" But don't be complacent, look at these people around Russia, none of them are vegetarian dolls! ”
The crowd looked at me viciously.
I smiled coldly and said, "Don't you want to try it?" ”
The fierce leader was furious, and was about to raise his knife to cut it, but the man in white stretched out his hand to stop him.
I immediately said, "You are Zhu Chun, the second leader of the Yihui Gang of Mogu Mountain, right?" The fierce and triumphant posed and said, "It's grandpa, what's the matter, I'm scared, right?" ”
I sneered: "Where are Guo Qinghui and Master now?" ”
That Zhu Chun laughed: "I'm afraid that if you go to the underworld, you can meet him!" ”
After saying that, everyone laughed.
I am not used to seeing such an arrogant and domineering person who relies on the large number of people and does not take others in his eyes, and instantly gathered his internal strength and stepped on the ground with a heavy foot, and suddenly shattered all the knives and bows and arrows in the hands of all the big men, and everyone was so shocked that they did not come back to their senses for a long time.
I shouted again, "Don't let me ask again, or you'll see your heartbeat next time!" ”
Zhu Chunzhan trembled and said as he retreated: "Young man, don't worry, I have already sent them to the official mansion, if you want to find them, go to the official mansion to find them!" I really don't have it here."
I was just about to go up and restrain the dog minion, but before I could take two steps, a steel cage was erected from the ground and trapped me, and the cage shone with a strange green light.
How could I be so restrained by you, just as I wanted to exercise, a dull voice behind me said: "This cage is made of dark iron steel, and the iron pillar is all coated with poison, as long as you exercise, the poisonous gas will gasp, and you will die here instantly." ”
Seeing this, Zhu Chun laughed out loud and said proudly: "I said that you little cub has only eaten dry rice for a few years, and you dare to argue with grandpa, and you don't look at how many catties and taels you have?" ”
Seeing this dog's face, I really want to go up and smash this bullying soft and afraid of hard dog teeth with a palm, but I want to see who is talking behind my back, there seems to be no one else in this crowd, I held back the anger in my heart and kept quiet.
At this time, a man wearing a cloak came from behind, he took off his cloak and muttered: "I didn't expect it, my martial arts are very high, but I lost in the experience of the rivers and lakes, do you really want to see my true face?" "Me
Looking at him with a puzzled look, the man smiled, took off his hat, untied his veil, and instantly I froze in shock. This man was none other than the weak-handed old man who had been following me closely. When I entered the Zhu Garden, I thought that he was afraid of hiding somewhere, but I didn't expect that when I entered the garden, he had already begun to manipulate everything here.
