Chapter 54 First Arrival in Luoyang

Luda and his grandfather were on foot, and the five horse thieves were chasing on horseback, so soon, Tang Liu saw the two people in front of him, an old man and a young man chatting affectionately while walking.

Tang Liu and the five of them saw that they saw the two of them, and if they caught up with the distance of ten horses, they would be able to pull the corners of the clothes of the two people in front of them. But they have that, if they catch up with that, but.

If you catch up, at least you will be grizzled, and at worst, you will be able to see the moon tonight.

If we catch up, alas, the five of us don't assume behind people's buttocks, pull the reins, stop the horse, turn the horse's head, and run back to the col's place of residence with a smoke, move out all the shochu, and don't use a bowl, one by one hold the Temple of Wine and pour it directly into the mouth, happy, happy, it's good to be a horse thief, you can hit whoever you want, you can beat whoever you can, and you can run if you can't.

Drink, drink, it's not a sin for a horse thief to drink, drink, drink, a horse thief drunk hotel is also heroic.

Drink, drink, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable.

The horse thieves ran back to their homes, and the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable,

Qiao Laodao returned to his temple to the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable.

Only Ruda and the old man, one old and one young, walked along the mountain road, measuring the distance they were traveling step by step.

The two talked while walking, and it was a pleasant conversation, a warm conversation, and there was a feeling of knowing each other late.

People are like that, three monsters plus four monsters - strange.

People who have been together for many years are not necessarily friends and often have nothing to talk about.

People who have known each other for a moment can become confidants and speak honestly and honestly.

On the way, Luda told the old man everything he had without concealment, and the old man gave a thumbs up and praised: "Good Luda, strong, Luda." is worthy of a man in Kansai. ”

Then, the old man also told Ruda his identity.

It turned out that the old man's surname was Zhou Mingdong, Shaanxi people's name, known as Shaanxi Hero Iron Arm Zhou Dong, Zhou Dong was a great figure in the Great Song Dynasty, a great hero, when he was ten years old, he worshiped Tan Zhengfang, known as the Northwest Iron Wolf, as a teacher, until he left the division at the age of twenty-two.

Although the young Zhou Dong is strong in martial arts, he has never bullied others, and is very modest, visiting the virtuous everywhere to seek advice, martial arts are increasing day by day, coupled with the righteousness and benevolence of people, at the age of 26, friends on the rivers and lakes gave him a veritable, well-known nickname Shaanxi Daxia Iron Arm Zhou Dong.

When Zhou Dong was twenty-seven years old, when he walked the rivers and lakes, he happened to meet the famous minister of the dynasty who was besieged by a group of mountain bandits, Bao Zheng Bao Wenzheng and several of his subordinates, seeing that Bao Zheng and others were about to fall under the knives and guns of the mountain bandits. Bao Zheng Bao, who was rescued by Zhou Dong from the encirclement of mountain bandits, saw that this young man defeated many mountain bandits with his bare hands, and he was dignified, well-behaved, humble and bold in speech, and was a rare pillar of the country, and he appreciated it in his heart, so Bao Zheng strongly recommended Zhou Dong in front of Emperor Renzong at that time and served as a commander of the Imperial Forest Army. Later, in order to cultivate the reserve force of the national army, Zhou Tong listened to the advice of Lord Bao, resigned from the position of commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and went to the Jingshi Imperial Boxing Gym to serve as a teacher.

At that time, the Jingshi Imperial Boxing Gym was directly under the leadership of the Terracotta Division, and the teachers were divided into three seats, namely heaven, earth, and people, and there were three teachers in each seat. Zhou Tong can serve as the chief teacher of the Tianzi seat in such a talented Jingshi Imperial Boxing Gym, and his martial arts are conceivably outstanding.

At that time, he wanted to say that he was the second in the martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty, but no one dared to say that he was the first. That is really on the horse to catch the dragon, off the horse can subdue the tiger, the deeds of the tiger hero Wu Song in the Water Margin are well-known, Wu Song is Zhou Dong's named disciple, it can be said that without Zhou Dong's careful professor, there will be no tiger hero Wu Song, of course, there should be Wu Song and Wu Song, but that Wu Song will not be able to become a tiger hero, without Wu Song to fight the tiger then the Water Margin will lose the most exciting content, and it will lack the essence of attracting attention, lose the fascinating, sneak peek legend.

We hate to see each other late, but we want to separate

The two walked out of the road about fifty miles away from Jueshan, and a fork appeared in front of them, and a road was facing southwest, which was the road to Henan; One road faces due west, which is in the direction of Shinmaju.

The two of them stood outside a grass pavilion on the side of the road, and said to Luda, who was full of reluctance on his face: "Little brother, there is no banquet in the world, there is no indistinguishable friend in the world, you have important things to undertake when you go to the capital, and I will also go to the Xinma Prefecture in front to find an old friend, we will say goodbye, there will be a period after the green mountains and green waters." ”

Luda knelt on the ground and said: "Thanks to the rescue of Zhou's seniors, so that Luda can retain this immortal body, the kid will definitely uphold your old teachings and be a dignified and upright man." ”

Zhou Tong stretched out his hands to help Luda and said: "You and I are both people walking in the rivers and lakes, you don't have to be confined to small sections, let alone be constrained by the red tape in this world, as long as you are upright." Okay, my old man is gone, the mountains in front of me are dangerous, the forests are deep and the grass is dense, and there are often strongmen and beasts, you must be careful. ”

Luda said: "That's good, old hero Zhou, take care all the way." ”

Zhou Tong waved his hand and turned away, just walked a few steps, as if thinking about something, turned around again, walked to Luda's side, stuffed a pocket into Luda's hand and said: "I see that you don't seem to have much silver taels on you, these ten taels of silver, you take it, you may be able to use it urgently on the road." ”

Luda's body is indeed penniless, but he is unwilling to accept the favor of others, just wanted to push thanks, Zhou Tong seemed to have seen through his mind and said: "What did I say to you just now, people keep righteousness in the rivers and lakes, abandon the subtleties, how can they forget it in a blink of an eye." ”

Ruda had no choice but to take it and put it in his arms.

Zhou Tong nodded happily and said, "Okay, that's the best, let's go on our separate roads." ”

With a mountain vine stick, he strode in the direction of Shinmashu.

Ruda looked at the back of the old hero's departure, and looked at the direction of his departure for a long time, some in that gaze were reluctant, and some in that gaze were infinitely grateful.

Invest in the store in the morning, watch the sky early, stay overnight along the way, cross the mountains and mountains, cross the river, wade the creek, and after two days of walking slowly, Luda came to Luoyang, Henan.
