Chapter 80: The Past of the Rivers and Lakes
Jiangning and Jianghang are actually cities that never sleep, but compared with the local cities in Jianghang, Jiangning is the whole city that never sleeps.
As the gathering place of Jiangzhou commerce, the prosperous area of Jiangning is shoulder to shoulder every day, and the external trade port is connected to the trade roads of Jiangzhou, and the number of traders and tourists gathered every day is the sum of Jianghang and even the surrounding areas.
But in terms of style, Jianghang is more conservative, while Jiangning is more open and free, not to mention anything else, take the flower street as a comparison, Jianghang's flower street is all classical style, and the emphasis is on the ancient style and beauty; Jiangning's is more modern, because of the introduction of a large number of foreign ideas, miniskirts, sundressings and even some more revealing erotic clothes make the boys from elsewhere linger.
The two officials sat in a tavern, and the street outside was illuminated, as if they were hiding something.
"It's getting colder." Official A said.
"It's really depressing to keep a vigil in this kind of weather, so you should stay at home and drink some warm wine." Officer B drank all the wine in the cup and filled it again.
"Eh, uncle, what did you do before you caught it?" Official errand B is obviously much older than official errand A, and while he is slightly drunk after drinking, he looks at the cold wind outside, so it is better to chat and fart in this tavern.
"Ah, I was a runner before I became a catcher." Officer B replied.
"Running the rivers and lakes? Is it the kind of one that flies around, showing the righteousness of the rivers and lakes? . . Hey bro! Hey friend's kind? Officer A asked.
"Have you watched too many TV series?" Coffin B glanced at him, "How can there be so many stupid heroes in the real rivers and lakes, in fact, everyone's kung fu is about the same, unless it is a guy who has really learned some peerless magic skills, otherwise he will not do anything strong." ”
"As you mean, those flying around ... And that kind of true qi or something is fake? Officer A asked.
"Eh, you said that, that's called Lijianghu, the one we run is called Waijianghu, generally those people in Lijianghu are all worldly masters, they are invited by others, and they generally don't go out of the mountain casually, only those of us who have a little fist will come out to run the rivers and lakes." Official B said.
"Then who are the people in the rivers and lakes now?" Officer A asked again.
"I don't know very well, Dahua has not yet settled down with all kinds of capable people emerge in an endless stream, everyone is to beg for a bite to eat in this troubled era, those people in the rivers and lakes, relying on a unique skill to suppress the heroes and add officials to the knighthood, the lucky ones have now become a big family somewhere, relying on the bonus given by the emperor to eat, and the bad luck is that he didn't ask for an official and a half-job, so he had to live in seclusion, in order to prevent the enemy from coming to the door, or someone coveted his kung fu, simply brought this body to the coffin, in the peaceful era, they really don't need anything. Officer B said.
"Uncle, when you ran the rivers and lakes, who were the heroes on the rivers and lakes?" Officer A asked.
"When I ran the rivers and lakes... Official B touched his beard, "Do you want you to say that kind of hero who flies around, in fact, there are still there, but most of them are doing things like senior bodyguards, if you really want to say the purest hero, there should be two people left." ”
"Who are they?" Officer A asked.
"First of all, Huang Yandi, who is called 'Finger Immortal' by Jianghu people." Official Errand B was only on the bench with one foot, as if the tone of urging people to be awesome, "This guy's kung fu is amazing, one person has mastered three unique studies, and his character is good, especially with one hand's 'snap of his fingers' can be said to be invincible all over the world, I heard that the ancestor is the famous Huang family, born in a famous family, dignified appearance, and martial arts, so the rivers and lakes gave him a 'immortal' word to show respect for him." ”
"And what are the other two masters?" Officer A asked.
"One hand is light work, I heard that in his heyday, he could cross the Qianjiang Lake under the storm, and the other hand is Tian Ertong and others who heard the slight breathing sound of you seven or eight meters away, relying on these three peerless skills, at that time, few people could get close to him." Official B said angrily, as if he was talking about himself.
"Then there is no one who can compete with him?" Official A asked as he knocked on a plate of melon seeds.
"There is one person who can still stand up to him at that time." Official Messenger B took a sip of wine and smacked his tongue, "Ah~ That's the Zhanyun shirt known as the 'little witch' on the rivers and lakes." ”
"Then what skills does she have to compete with Huang Yandi?" Officer A asked.
"She is Huang Yandi's wife." Coffin B replied.
"Cut!" Official A said with a disgusted face, "After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be his wife, this dignified 'finger immortal' is still a person who is afraid of his wife?" ”
"I'm afraid of what's wrong with my wife? In other words, who was taken by Zhan Yunshan, it was all a little man! "Official Messenger B said, "I heard that this Zhanyun shirt is proficient in charm, and the person who is not strong enough will be fascinated by it at a glance, and if he is secretly sent to Qiubo, he will be directly unable to extricate himself, and ordinary men will not be able to control it." ”
"Is that an exaggeration?" Official A will be skeptical.
"It's not an exaggeration, I met this Zhanyun shirt once in my life, and I saw her with a side face, I rely on it, I just got up for a long time, and I couldn't get down!" Official B said.
"You blow it! Is this Zhanyun shirt a human or an energetic agent? Official A had a suspicious expression.
"What am I lying to you about, it's not just charm, Zhan Yunyi also has a unique golden snake whip! This vicious whip can hit your vital parts at any angle, just like a poisonous snake, which is really terrifying. "And according to legend, Zhan Yunshan's sense of smell is also very sensitive, and she can find anyone within a hundred miles of her smell through a trace of smell, so the man he fancies, unless he escapes thousands of miles away, otherwise he can't escape from the Five Fingers Mountain of this female demon." ”
"Then how do you say the two of them got along?" Officer A asked.
"I don't know this, the love and hatred between the knights are relatively mysterious, and they will not be seen until the relationship is established, which is also normal, so as soon as the news came out, it simply caused a sensation throughout the rivers and lakes." Officer B muttered, "That scene... ”
"'Finger Immortal' married 'Little Devil'." Official A said.
"How many men's hearts are broken, and how many girls' hearts are cold, it is said that the year they got married was the year with the largest number of retirees on the rivers and lakes, and many people began to disbelieve in love, and chose to retire to find a new life." Officer B sighed.
"Uncle also retired at that time, right?" Official A asked shyly.
Official Errand B was also embarrassed, but finally nodded, "At that time, there were not a few people who followed the footsteps of the two of them on the road of rivers and lakes, how can it be like now, you can see the movements of your favorite stars at home, and we all use practical actions to pursue our idols." ”
"A lot of things are going to happen when they get married, right?" Officer A asked.
"Of course, it's two people with completely different personalities, I don't know why they came together, but it didn't take long for the contradictions between the two to begin to show." Pipe Rub B said.
"Is this the beginning of a happy married life?" Official A laughed.
"You say a husband who is pure and serious every day, but a wife who is messing with flowers and grass and has a chaotic private life, where do you think they can go?" Official B said.
"So they broke up again?" Officer A asked.
"If it's just like this, how can they break up, mainly because Huang Yandi joined the Nine Dragons Sect." Official B said.
"Nine Dragons? What sect is that? Officer A asked.
"Of course you don't know when you're young, you must know that the Kowloon Sect was also a national-level sect at that time, advocating righteousness, Huang Yandi, who was usually the most ignorant of his wife, was focused on the revival of the famous clan, Zhan Yunshan was naturally unhappy, and Zhan Yunshan, who loved Huang Yandi deeply, naturally would not think that his husband had betrayed him, so he sprinkled his anger on the Kowloon Sect." Officer B sighed. "It is precisely because of this that the relationship between the two, which was not very strong, broke down, and finally gradually turned into a divorce."
"Eh, this is also a little uncomfortable, then the two of them haven't even had a child for so long." Official A sighed.
"We don't know if there are children or not, I remember that there seems to be, and there seems to be none, anyway, it was more than ten years ago." Officer B sighed.
"Eh, it's reasonable that if they get divorced, many people should be happy, second-hand is better than nothing." Officer A asked.
"What a yarn! After they divorced, one went to the Kowloon Sect to live in the depths! One seems to have gone to Shuzhou to live in seclusion, and it is the turn of someone else? Besides, if you marry or marry them, think about it, where is such an ex-husband and ex-wife, if you are in a good mood and see you one day, you are afraid that you will not even think about the bones. Officer B said.
"Ahh Such... I always feel that your rivers and lakes are not as awesome as others say. Officer A scratched his hair.
"What do you think the rivers and lakes look like? It's just a circle of people running around. Officer B said. Now the people who can be called heroes are dead and retreating, and today's rivers and lakes are no longer the same rivers and lakes as before. ”
The two were sighing, and the table in front of them was pushed hard, startling the two.
"Holy! Who is it!? Officer A asked.
In front of her, the girl who was dressed as an official, but with a good face and a soft whip tied around her waist, stood there with an angry face, looking at the two people in front of her, "In the middle of the night, you don't want to find the street to drink here?!" ”
"Eh, I said Zhan Xiaoyan? It's not your neighborhood, is it? Why do you care so much? The official asked.
"What the are you talking about?! The old lady has already chased half the street! Zhan Xiaoyan looked at the high wall in the distance, "Damn, it's going to be amazing!" Sooner or later, the old lady will catch you! The two in front of them couldn't count on it, and Zhan Xiaoyan ran away again.
The two officials looked at the somewhat neurotic girl in front of them, and they also looked indifferent.
"Oh, speaking of Zhan Spruce's light skills, the killing of Qi at that time was probably because he couldn't catch up with Huang Yandi." Official B said.
"Haha, the affairs of the rivers and lakes, who knows." Official A smiled and took another sip of wine, "Ah... This life is really beautiful... ”
