Chapter 883: Shedding
Luoshui
A young man dressed in white like snow walked to the river to greet the boatman, and the old man who ferried for a living near here couldn't help but praise in his heart when he saw the face of this person clearly, he had been crossing the river for most of his life, and he had never seen such a rich man.
This young man is a good product regardless of his body and appearance, and he doesn't know why he has a bald head. The most eye-catching thing is that there is a bright red dot on the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, which does not seem to be depicted when you look closely, as if you were born with it.
This old man was old enough to experience the fall of the Shang Kingdom. But perhaps because I haven't seen a Buddhist monk in the past few decades, I have forgotten that there is still such a group of people in this world. However, when he saw this monk, the old man suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he heard adults say that people with bright red birthmarks on their bodies are extraordinary when they grow up, and the higher the position of the birthmark, the more beautiful it will be.
When you are old, you can't remember some things, but some trivial things that should have been forgotten can be remembered very clearly.
"This lord, you want to cross the river?"
"I want to go to the other side and ask my husband for help."
The young man replied politely.
The old man smiled heartily and said: "Where can I talk about any help, you want to cross the river, I will collect money to cross you, this is business." If you ask me for help, how can I be embarrassed to take your money? ”
The young man touched it from his arms, found a piece of jade and handed it to the old man: "I didn't bring any silver with me when I went out, if this piece of jade went to be a boat, it would still be enough for your boat money." In troubled times, jade is not worth much, but the condition is good, don't be surprised. ”
The old man hurriedly shook his head: "No matter how much the price of jade falls, I won't be able to find your silver." ”
"I don't want you to look for money."
The young man boarded the boat and asked, "If there is any leftover, let me buy you a question." ”
"Questions?"
The old man looked at him puzzled, and felt that this person was a little strange. But since people have said that this jade looks round and flawless, it must be exchanged for a lot of silver, and the old man said that such a good thing naturally cannot be pawned, and it is appropriate to keep it as a family heirloom.
"Anything I know, just ask."
The old man carefully took the jade pendant, wiped it twice on his body, and then took out a handkerchief from his arms and wrapped it meticulously.
"After crossing the river, it is North Jiangsu Province, may I ask what is the great Jianghu sect in North Jiangsu Province?"
The young man said, "I have just left home, and I don't know anything about the other side of the river. I heard that there are many big factions in the south of the Yangtze River, and my husband has been begging for living materials on this waterway for decades, and he should have heard a lot about the affairs of North Jiangsu. ”
The old man looked at the young man again, and suddenly understood: "Oh...... I know, Childe, are you going to go to the rivers and lakes? I accepted such a valuable thing from you, if I don't persuade you, I won't be happy in my heart. Childe, this is too big, it seems that you are leaving the house for the first time, if you want to break through, it is better to take a walk first, and you must not go to find any trouble with a famous family first. ”
"Those powerful sects, which one has no one behind them? Let's just say that I know the Golden Daomen of North Jiangsu Province, the backer behind it is the Jin family, although it is said that the Jin family is now much worse than before, but it is still a first-class wealthy family. Besides, the two brothers Jin Shixiong and Jin Shiduo have already raised their banners to rebel, and the Golden Daomen is also among them, why do you want to find hardships by yourself as a merry man? ”
"Since people are born in the world, they must be self-motivated."
The young man smiled: "Golden Dao Sect, I have made a note, are there other sects that are more powerful?" ”
"Alas"
It seemed that he couldn't persuade him, and the old man said while holding the boat: "Since you are going to go on a rampage, I won't say anything more as an outsider." I'm not from the rivers and lakes, and I've heard of it over the years. The most powerful sect in Northern Jiangsu Province is not the Golden Dao Gate, and compared to the Mobi Pavilion, the Golden Dao Gate is not in the stream at all. The owner of the Mobi Pavilion is known as a Jiangshan, and the name is called Jiangshan. It is said that both civil and military are unique, and he once worked as a gentleman in the most famous Tonggu Academy in Jiangnan, and the most commendable thing is a calligraphy, which is the best in Jiangnan. Even if many powerful people want to ask him for a word, it is not easy. ”
Later, it was rumored that he entered the Tao with calligraphy, and since then he has left Tonggu Academy and set up his own school. Later, he challenged many masters in Northern Jiangsu Province with a pen, and he won all of them, and then the status of the ink pen pavilion in the rivers and lakes was high. ”
The old man said these words, like a few treasures. He has been floating on the waterway all year round, and there are so many guests passing by, so there are naturally a lot of rumors about true and false.
"Ink Pen Pavilion?"
The young man nodded: "That's worth visiting, although I haven't left the house, I've heard of the name of Tonggu Academy." ”
"Tonggu Academy is not a Jianghu sect!"
The old man corrected: "Tonggu Academy is just a academy. ”
The young man smiled and did not refute.
The two of them didn't talk much afterwards, and the old man raised his hand from time to time to silently place his chest, which was where he put the jade pendant, and it could be seen that he really cared about this jade pendant. Maybe I've never seen such a precious thing in my life.
When he was about to reach the shore, the young man got up, glanced at the old man, and asked in a very soft tone: "You have obviously seen where I came from, but you have to pretend that you can't see it, and people have become cunning when they get old." Or are you so greedy for money that even the people of the Buddhist sect dare to ferry casually? ”
The old man's expression stiffened obviously, and he subconsciously raised his hand and touched the place where the jade pendant was: "It's a pity that such a good thing can't be brought back to give to my grandson......"
He glanced at the young man: "I only realized that you are a monk when I got closer, how can I avoid it in time?" I pretend I don't know, so why can't you pretend you don't know? ”
"Because ......"
The young man pointed at the old man's forehead, and the old man fell backwards.
"I also care about this jade pendant."
The young man bent down and took out the jade pendant from the old man's arms, and then casually threw the handkerchief containing the jade pendant into the river. He didn't look at the corpse again, as if it had nothing to do with him. Already close to the shore, he jumped ashore and headed east.
"Ink Pen Pavilion ......"
The young man muttered to himself as he walked: "I don't know how the cultivation of this country is, and how far it has to be suppressed to do it, it's so troublesome to shed your shell again and again......"
He touched his face and moved gently: "Are you going to break the phase again?" ”

On the shore of Luoshui
Liao Sheng looked at the boat that had been dragged back, and carefully examined the old man's injuries: "Master Hou, this person was killed by a finger that broke his skull, and his subordinates didn't know how that person acted, so they couldn't judge." However, it was expected to be him. ”
He glanced back at Wu Yiyi, who was standing on the side: "It has already passed Luoshui into North Jiangsu Road, and it is not in our control area." ”
Wu Yiyi was silent for a while and then said, "Do you remember what I told you when I was in Qingfeng City?" ”
Liao Sheng nodded: "Master Hou said that the person who injured the lord will flee to the ends of the earth and catch up, and all the children of the Black Flag Army can't bear such a thing." ”
"Crossing the River"
Wu Yi said two words lightly, and then turned around and instructed his subordinates: "Go back and tell the lord that I will take the people from the Xiao Riding School across the river into North Jiangsu Road." ”
Knowing that the Black Flag Army was chasing the murderer, fishermen soon came over and spontaneously rocked the boat to send people and horses across the river. After arriving on the other side of the river, Wu Yiyi did not let people change their clothes, and the Xiao Riding School was still wearing the brocade clothes, he looked at the heavily guarded soldiers at the ferry not far away, and instructed Liao Sheng: "Go and tell them directly, just say that the Black Flag Army is coming to hunt down the fugitives, whether they agree or not, I will pass." ”
Not long after the academy was destroyed, because Luo Tu joined forces with Jin Shiduo in Liuzhou, the court led by Yang Jian immediately marched eastward, and then Luo Tu called the emperor in Liuzhou and changed his name to Shengtu, and no one cared about it on the side of North Jiangsu.
What now occupies North Jiangsu Province is the joint force of several families in North Jiangsu Province, with no more than tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
These soldiers guarding the Luoshui ferry, to be honest, what they are most afraid of seeing is that one day the Black Flag Army comes from the other side of the river, and now the position of the Black Flag Army in the southwest has been solid, and the military strength is strong.
"The Black Flag Army crossed the river to pursue the fugitives, please let them go."
Liao Sheng glanced at the soldiers: "If you see a bald head in white clothes passing by, tell me." ”
"This ...... Can't you? ”
The captain guarding the ferry was stunned, and he really couldn't imagine that the people of the Black Flag Army would come over so openly. There was a sense of uncertainty in his answers, but in fact, he didn't dare to refuse forcefully. Everyone knows how powerful the Black Flag Army is now, Pingyongzhou, swallowing the four roads, and destroying Nanyan, these things haven't been long in coming.
"Can't?"
Liao Sheng sneered: "I'm just telling you, and the rest will be nothing to do with you." Either you have the barricades opened, or I just flip it over. You're just a lieutenant, and it's your business how to report it, and it's their business to deal with it. ”
"I ......"
The lieutenant opened his mouth, but finally did not dare to draw the knife, although at one point the soldier's self-esteem almost made him pull the knife out.
Liao Sheng didn't pay any attention to him, waved his hand, and then a large group of Xiao Riding School came over and moved the barricade away. The people got on their horses and rushed over.
"What should I do?"
A soldier asked the captain?
"How the fuck do I know what to do!"
The lieutenant roared angrily, only to realize that his back was already covered with sweat.

Miaobi Mountain
Ink Pen Pavilion
Da Zizai, who was covered in injuries, glanced at the corpses all over the courtyard, and then looked at the scattered eyes of the Pavilion Master of the Ink Pen Pavilion, who was known as a stroke of the country, and shook his head.
"I suppressed a realm, and I fought so hard with you, your reputation is really unreliable......"
He didn't pay any attention to the Pavilion Master of the Ink Pen Pavilion who was no longer able to move, took a look at the side room and walked over, pushed open the door, he jumped onto the beam, hooked his feet on the beam and hung head down, and then slowly closed his eyes. The entire Ink Pen Pavilion had been killed by him, and the owner of the Ink Pen Pavilion had only a little life left, slumped in the courtyard, watching the man enter the side room, the door was not closed, and then he watched the man hanging upside down on the beam.
Half an hour later, the Pavilion Master, who had been injured to the point of dying, was frightened by the scene he saw, and exclaimed in surprise, a stream of blood gushed up in his throat but he couldn't spit it out, he was stuck there and couldn't get up or down, his eyes were almost bulging out, and he didn't last long before he fell to the ground and couldn't move anymore.
I was scared to death.
In the partial room.
The man hanging upside down on the beam of the house began to split from his feet, and the flesh and skin faded down by himself, hanging slimy on his body, slowly sliding down little by little.
Smack
The human skin fell to the ground.
It was dark, and the moonlight was miserable, but it couldn't cover the bloody smell in the courtyard. The pale white moonlight entered the side room through the door, shining on the human skin, which was particularly eerie.
