Qianchen Scroll: Concentrate on Cultivating and Hiding Hatred, Exploring the Rivers and Lakes to Provoke Old Enemies Chapter 17 Dark Smoke Miasma
After receiving the order from Lone Whistling Heights, Luo Xiu galloped all the way out of the valley, secretly thinking in his heart. What should this trip look like to stir up the smoky Nantang River and Lake?
At this time, the main altar of Mingyue Building is brightly lit and full of people, so it is not lively. But when I looked closer, there was no sound, which was very weird. I saw that in a spacious and bright ordinary guest room, there was a person with silver-gray hair rising and falling in the night breeze, and this person was Nalan, the owner of Mingyue Building, I saw that he was silently wiping the long sword in his hand, and looked at everyone in front of him as nothing.
And these people in front of them, Gao An, are fat and thin in fancy clothes, just like the dancers in the circus, but the performance program is different. Between Nalan and the strangely dressed people, there was a bloody sack with a faint wheezing sound coming out of it.
At this time, a lean short man became a little impatient, scratched his head and said, "What are you waiting for, let me cut him up and feed it to the dog." As soon as he finished speaking, he was desperate to smash the man in the bag. As if he hadn't heard, Nalan still wiped the long sword in front of him, as if caressing his beloved.
Just in the midst of the lightning, a woman wearing a black veil and a graceful figure stopped the lean short man, and said with a smile, "Gao Sheng, what are you anxious about?" Didn't you see the landlord and didn't ask yet? "That woman is none other than Venerable Po Sa at the blood banquet in Gu Mansion that day.
The lean short man's original name was Gao Sheng, and after hearing the words of Venerable Po Sa, he retracted his raised feet, glanced at Nalan slantedly, and said no more.
The wind at night is always reckless, like a running child, who does not know when it will start and where it will go.
Suddenly, without warning, the wind blew up, and the candle was blown out. By the time Venerable Buddha lit the candle again, the lean man had already broken one of his feet, and he was lying in a pool of blood with his teeth gritted, his face full of fear.
Nalan shook the drops of blood on the long sword, sighed and commanded, "Fury, open it." ”
A muscular man with long red hair scattered in front of the door stepped forward, picked up the lean short man Gao Sheng who had fallen to the ground just now and threw it away, before slowly opening the bag and lifting the bloody man inside.
The man was panting for breath when he was released, and in the early spring, he was still wearing a thick winter coat, hugging himself tightly, his legs curled to protect his chest, as if he had just been severely tortured.
After seeing the bloody man, Nalan slowly put down the long sword that had been wiped countless times, turned his head to look at the bloody man on the ground, and said with a smile, "Do you know why? ”
The man gasped for breath and said nothing. The red-haired man dragged him up and threw him down, but the man still gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
Nalan was not angry, and hooked his hand at Gao Sheng, who was lying in the distance, and said, "Give you a chance to atone for your sins." ”
After listening to Nalan's words, Gao Sheng reluctantly stood up as if he had been pardoned, and jumped in front of the bloody man. I saw him take out a bone china bottle from his arms, open the stopper and take out a white pill, open the bloody man's mouth with one hand, and throw the pill into it with the other.
Watching the bloody man swallow it, Gao Sheng stared coldly with some pain, and also fell into silence.
The night was so long, and the incense burning in the room had already burned more than half, and the bloody man suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, coughed a few times before slowly saying, "I don't know why, and I don't know Gu Lingding." ”
Nalan frowned and said with a smirk, "That's not the answer I wanted. As soon as the words fell, Gao Sheng punched the bloody man in the stomach, and the bloody man suddenly broke his liver and gall, and fell to the ground groaning in pain.
Venerable Po Sa watched the bloody man fall, and said with a smile, "You rough guys, how can you help the landlord ask something?" Let me try. ”
After saying this, he walked slowly to the bloody man, and when the bloody man saw her coming, he began to tremble, as if he had seen a devil. Before His Holiness could make a move, he shouted, "I say, I'll say anything. ”
After speaking, he moved his body and continued, "I was ordered by Luo Xiu, the secret envoy of Lone Howling Heights, to ambush and monitor nearby. Gu Lingding has been taken in by Lonely Roaring Heights, and I don't know anything else. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Venerable Po Sa suddenly stroked his sleeve to the bloody man's face, and the bloody man suddenly exposed his green muscles, his bloody eyes were wide open, and his hands stretched out to the front and grabbed them, and after a while, he fell to the ground and collapsed.
At this time, Nalan motioned for Gao Sheng to carry the corpse away from the ground, and said to everyone, "What do you think of the purpose of Lonely Roaring Heights?" ”
"Returning to the landlord, I think that Lonely Roaring Heights is intended to provoke, and deliberately released the news to lure us to the door." The person who spoke carried the double knife behind his back, and he had been looking at it coldly just now, and then he said slowly.
Venerable Po Sa smiled and said, "I think this is the temptation of Lonely Whistling Heights, what kind of place is Lonely Whistling Heights, wouldn't it be in vain for my generation to go to death?" ”
After listening to their words, Nalan lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there will be a fierce battle tonight. ”
Just as everyone was wondering, a deep voice suddenly came from outside the window and said, "What a spineless guy, you recruited me so quickly." ”
Nalan stood up suddenly, walked to the window, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and paused for a while before muttering, "You are Luo Xiu?" ”
The voices of people outside the window flickered far and near, still muffled. "I'm Luo Xiu, dare to fight?"
Without waiting for Nalan to answer, the man with the knife next to him jumped out of the window with an arrow step and greeted him. Venerable Posa was about to speak, Nalan waved his hand and motioned for him to go, and then Venerable Posa lowered his head and said no more.
Everyone in the window looked out of the window with different faces, and the moonlight outside the window sprinkled on the old trees in the courtyard, falling little by little. The man with the knife on his back pulled out his double knives violently, and a sweep broke towards his chest, and the middle-aged bearded man named Luo Xiu retreated unhurriedly, calmly.
The person with the knife on his back was a little annoyed, and he suddenly jumped up and slashed down, and Luo Xiu dodged again, but he didn't see a shot back.
The man with the knife on his back attacked left and right, Luo Xiu seemed a little tired, and took advantage of the break in the attack to snort. At this time, Nalan by the window turned his head and said angrily to the red-haired man, "Liu Chong is going to be defeated, you go and answer it, don't let him die." The red-haired man jumped out of the windowsill in a rage, and the moonlight flowed on him like a clear spring, making his red hair even more eye-catching.
At the moment when the red-haired man was about to fall to the ground in anger, Luo Xiu rushed forward with an arrow to meet Liu Chong's double knives, and a hand knife slashed, Liu Chong didn't have time to dodge, and suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Previously, the red-haired man had already crossed in front of the unconscious Liu Chong, and his eyes were wide open at Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu looked at the person in front of him, paused and said, "Angry? It's kind of interesting. Don't stay in the back week, what will Tang do after running? There seemed to be a strong internal force in this voice, and black blood slowly flowed out of the unconscious Liu Chong's ears.
And the fury seems to be unaffected, still not leaving. I didn't see him answer, so I rushed forward, trying to hug Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu still looked so listless, turned around and dodged the gourd on his waist, opened the gourd mouth and poured a sip of wine.
Huo Fu felt that he had suffered a great insult, and suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, supported the ground with both hands, and jumped up again after becoming an ape, trying to catch Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu, who was drinking gourd wine, squinted at the visitor, raised his foot and kicked it in front of him, and at the same time plugged the mouth of the gourd with one hand and pinned the gourd back to his waist with the other, and took out a bamboo flute and knocked it on Huo Fu's head.
Suddenly I was dizzy and dizzy when I was knocked out of anger, and I didn't know the north and the south. Luo Xiu was not in a hurry to attack, and waited for the anger to come back to his senses before raising his head and saying to Nalan at the window, "Why don't you come down and let's have fun?" ”
Nalan glanced at Luo Xiu contemptuously, and said coldly, "You are also worthy!" ”
Luo Xiu didn't care, shook his head and said, "In the past few years, I have been messing with monks, and my mood has stabilized, and another child has chased me all day long to ask questions, and there are often strange words, why don't you tell them?" ”
When Nalan heard the child, he suddenly asked eagerly, "He's not dead yet?" ”
"Thanks to you, I am alive and kicking, but my spirit is too good." After speaking, Luo Xiu poured another sip of wine. Then he said, "He said that you, an old turtle, hide in the shell of the turtle all day long, and when he is successful in his studies, he will come and kill you, and ask me to come and see if you are dead?" After speaking, he learned in a similar way, as if Gu Xing.
Nalan was not angry, but he just watched Luo Xiu dance coldly, but he couldn't hold back his anger and started a new round of offensive. After Luo Xiu's performance for a while, he restrained his smile and said to the fire, "You shouldn't be here." ”
After saying that, he withdrew his flute and threw it violently. Nalan suddenly raised his hand at this time, and a silver needle flew towards the thrown bamboo flute, and nailed the flute deep into the waist of the old tree.
At this time, Huo Fu was shocked into a cold sweat, if it wasn't for the landlord's action, he would have died at this time. He was no longer careless, and held his breath and prepared to deal with Luo Xiu's next offensive.
Seeing Nalan make a move, Luo Xiu suddenly stretched, turned around and jumped up and dropped a sentence by the way, "It's so boring tonight, I'll come back tomorrow." The furious was about to chase after him, but he heard Nalan say, "The skills are not as good as people, are you going to die?" That's when he beat his chest.
At this time, Nalan looked at the direction where Luo Xiu was going, and became silent, and everyone did not dare to come out. And Liu Chong, who was lying on the ground, woke up, straightened up, shook his head, looked at the anger in front of him, and was a little stunned.
Seeing Liu Chong wake up, Nalan retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Will you repay it?" I waited. With that, he turned and went back to his room. Huo Fu picked up Liu Chong, and also turned around and walked towards the guest room.
And Luo Xiu, who has been away for a long time, is leaning on a bamboo pole, pursing his lips and smiling. In front of him was a wine table with a plate of peanuts. watched the wine shop Xiao Er bring up a pot of spirits, and then slowly sat down and ate and drank. From time to time, there was a hearty laugh, which made the surrounding drinkers suddenly feel the difference, and looked at Luo Xiu like a madman.
Luo Xiu didn't care, he just ate the wine and peanuts in front of him out of the feeling of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and occasionally looked down to think about it, it seemed that there was something worth happy that made him unable to suppress the restlessness in his heart.
After a while, he finished eating and drinking, lost a few coins and got up and left. A figure flickered in the darkness in the distance, and Luo Xiu turned his head to look mockingly, then turned to leave. The man in the darkness followed closely, and suddenly someone grabbed him by the neck from behind, and he died with a click.
Luo Xiu then muttered, "I hate following farts the most, especially this kind of three-legged cat kung fu." With that, he threw the man away and disappeared into the darkness again. Everyone in the wine shop just glanced at it, and then turned their heads to drink again, and it seemed that this situation was not strange.
"Today's rivers and lakes are really smoky." The wine shop Xiao Er muttered to himself.
