19. Away from Gangnam
In the Zen courtyard room, Shen Qiu picked out the words.
Zhang Lan saw that Shen Qiu was open and honest, and he no longer took Qiao, and asked seriously:
"Your so-called huddle brother is you, Xiao Tie, Qingqing, and that mountain ghost, right?"
"Hmm."
Shen Qiu nodded.
Zhang Lan said again:
"Xiao Tie has a natural root, but it still takes time to grow, and you and the mountain ghost can rely on it now.
Although the number of people is small, it does mean a secret meeting of the rivers and lakes.
Young Master Ben also asks you, what are the benefits of joining you? β
"Well... Not too much. β
Shen Qiu glanced at this young master, and he said leisurely:
But since then, this road is that brothers walk together.
Share the blessings and the difficulties.
There are good things that everyone shares.
When you get into trouble, everyone draws the knife together.
The first battle of Suzhou, you also saw it.
I sent a letter requesting, and the mountain ghosts came thousands of miles to help.
I was taken captive by Ai Dacha, and the other three sacrificed their lives to save me.
You are also a wanderer, Zhang Lan, when you encounter something that is pouring into the sky, it is a blessing in the world to have someone around you who can be trusted!
Between us and others, there will be no awkward situation between you and Zhang Chu. β
Shen Qiu saw Zhang Lan thinking about it, so he said again:
"Today's incident came suddenly and by coincidence.
If you really want to go to the rivers and lakes with me, then pay first, and then ask for something in return, and Shen thinks that when facing Zhang Chu and the Seven Peerless Sects, you and I can always trust each other, right?
Now that there is a foundation of trust, it is easy to say anything. β
He paused and said to Zhang Lan:
"But you must not be happy to let you work for nothing.
In this case, if you believe me, tell me your cultivation method of the Ghost Shadow Demon Skill, and I will help you study it to see if there is something wrong in the cultivation.
If you can learn to travel freely, you will definitely have a very high level of understanding.
After working so hard in the past few years, how can progress be slow?
You also said before, your kung fu was thrown to you by your eldest brother, and your heart is so big, aren't you afraid, what is he doing in it? β
Zhang Lan's expression was a little complicated, of course he also had such doubts,
Otherwise, it would be impossible to ask Shen Qiu for another exercise at this time to replace his internal skills that he had practiced for many years.
"What? Can't you trust me? β
Shen Qiu looked at Zhang Lan's hesitation, and said:
"If you can't believe it, forget it."
After speaking, he was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Zhang Lan.
"Wait, Shen Qiu, it's not that I don't believe you, the two of us are also fatal friends."
Pity dude said:
"It's just that this ghost shadow magic skill was left by my father, even if Zhang Chu moves his hands and feet, with your martial arts attainments, can you see it?
Even if you see it, how can you make it back to the right place? β
"That's my problem."
Shen Qiu chuckled lightly, and he said:
"I'll give you an explanation. It's just Zhang Lan, I'll help you practice martial arts, you have to do things well! Do you, you know? β
Zhang Lan was still a little reluctant, he looked at the folding fan in his hand, bowed his head and said nothing.
After a few breaths, he looked at Shen Qiu again and said:
"After this incident, we are brothers who can be entrusted for life?"
"If I say yes, I'm lying to you."
Shen Qiu said very calmly:
"But if you treat us with your heart, we will not disappoint your enthusiasm.
Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and sees the hearts of the people over time, this truth.
You don't understand, do you? β
Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment.
This Shen Qiu is really magical.
At this time, shouldn't he say some words of wish to trick him into selling his life?
It's so direct, but it's rare.
"Good!"
Zhang Lan grabbed the folding fan, he looked at Shen Qiu, and said seriously:
"For the sake of your kind invitation, the young master will give it a try, the first half of my life was deceived by me, and I don't have a close friend.
As you said, I will also be enthusiastic today, and try to be a group brother with you.
Don't lie to Young Master Ben! β
In the afternoon, the moon falls on the piano platform, in the boudoir of Yaoqin.
While concocting a certain medicine, Zhang Lan complained to Shen Qiu dissatisfiedly:
"That ten thousand flowers spirit jade finger, it is really exquisite and extraordinary, it is rare to dance elegantly, and the power is acceptable, it has won my heart, but you give me the basics!
What about the exercises in the back?
Since Master Ben has promised you to help, he will help with all his heart!
Is it interesting that you are wary of me like that? β
"Zhang Gongzi."
Shen Qiu crossed his arms, leaned to the side, and watched Zhang Lan pick out Yaoqin's clothes, and said:
"It's you who said it yourself, give me the Ghost Shadow Demon Technique, and find a collateral, so that the two sides don't trust each other, so I will give you a primer on the wonderful fingering in this world.
Besides, isn't it right to be careful when dealing with a bad belly like you?
Don't worry, since Shen has promised you, after this matter is over, he will definitely give you the complete exercises. β
"Hmph"
Zhang Lan pursed her lips and snorted.
He picked and chosen, chose a light gauze robe on the bed, and untied his clothes in front of Shen Qiu, and changed Yaoqin's clothes.
Sit in front of the bronze mirror and spread your long hair apart.
looked at Yaoqin, who was sitting on the side, like a model, with a strange complexion, and began to twist his hair into the style of Yaoqin's long hair.
In Zhang Lan's hand, there was a wooden box.
It's like a vanity box, filled with all sorts of weird things, powder, paste, eyebrow pencils, and a thin layer of plaster-like things.
Qingqing was sitting on the side, holding a jar.
The liquid was stirred with a stone pestle, and the liquid had a bad smell.
"Qingqing, apply that thing to Miss Yaoqin's face, it should be applied evenly, don't apply more, so as not to hurt the skin."
Zhang Lan straightened her hair in front of the bronze mirror, and raised her orchid fingers, very charming and feminine.
Shen Qiu, who watched it, got goosebumps.
Over there, Yaoqin also tried hard to stretch her cheeks that couldn't hold back her smile, and let Qingqing apply the warm liquid-like thing to her face.
After a while, the layer dries out.
Zhang Lan swayed her steps, like Yaoqin's posture when she walked.
The body is like a willow, and the slender waist is swaying, which is quite charming.
He stepped forward, put his hands on Yaoqin's cheeks, and gently tore off the mask-like substance.
Zhang Lan put the film in front of her eyes and looked at it, and warmed it on the candle with her heart, and when it became transparent, she covered it on her face.
He grease and powder the bronze mirror, and also picked up the eyebrow pencil and sketched it on his face, blushing, that movement was very skillful, obviously not the first time he had done such a thing.
Wait for half a stick of incense.
Zhang Lan breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up and turned to look at the three people behind him.
That face is already eight points similar to Yaoqin's face, and if you wear a light veil, it will be the same person.
Zhang Lan is taller than Yaoqin, he moves his shoulders and body, and in the continuous clicking sound of his body, his whole person seems to be a head shorter out of thin air.
and Yaoqin's height is about the same.
Qingqing grew her mouth, Yaoqin was also frightened, only Shen Qiu's face was expressionless.
Jianghu disguise technique, he saw it today.
It's really amazing.
But compared to the four evil arts in my hometown, that's it.
"Ahem"
Zhang Lan coughed twice, rubbed the Adam's apple with his fingers, and there was also a mask-like substance on his neck, smoothing the raised Adam's apple, he was adjusting his vocal cords, and said:
"Miss Yaoqin, how about looking at the concubine's disguise and transformation technique?"
The first half of the sentence is a bit out of tune.
But in the second half of the sentence, he has used his true qi to vibrate his vocal cords, making it extremely similar to Yaoqin's voice, but it is a little more hoarse.
"Awesome!"
Qingqing girl gave Zhang Lan a thumbs up, and she said with a look of surprise:
"Zhang Lan, teach me in the future, I want to learn this too!"
"Ugh..."
Zhang Lan held the orchid finger in his hand, put the veil on his face, picked up Yaoqin's beauty fan, and swayed it lightly in front of him, he looked out the window sadly.
Say:
"This is what Shen Lan taught me, she is the real master of disguise.
Forget it, let's not talk about that.
Yaoqin, come here, Young Master Ben... Well, this girl will change your appearance for you, so let's change your appearance as Qingqing, and you are about the same height. β
Another pillar of incense passed.
Shen Qiu took "Qingqing", rode a horse, and swaggered all the way away from the Falling Moon Qintai.
At the entrance of the piano platform.
Shen Qiu looked back at Yaoqin, who was riding on a horse, swaying, and said:
"This is the first time you've left the piano platform so voluntarily, right?"
"Who said that?"
Yaoqin looked at Qingqing's face, and she said:
"I occasionally go to Liangguang to check the trade routes."
"But this time it's different."
Shen Qiu pulled up the reins of the horse and said:
"This time, you're for yourself."
"Yes, this time it's different."
Yaoqin sighed, followed Shen Qiu out of the qintai, she looked back at the home behind her where she had lived for twenty years, and she said:
"If you leave home this time, you may not be able to come back in the future.
Shen Qiu, I am a little afraid in my heart, and I will not hide it from you, at this moment, it is indeed much more reassuring to have you by my side. β
"Don't think about it."
Shen Qiu chuckled lightly, and he said:
"Qingqing said, we are a family.
It's just that you have to go to Luoyang quickly, the road is difficult, you have a body, can you stand it? β
"What if you can't stand it?"
Yaoqin Says:
"This is related to life, I can only grit my teeth and hold on, but Shen Qiu, don't underestimate me, I learned the longitudinal technique of 'Long River Lonely Smoke' with my mother when I was a child, and I also suffered hardships."
"Your longitudinal technique is indeed exquisite, although it has the meaning of femininity, but it also has a brilliant atmosphere, it is worthy of the Holy Fire Sect's secret technique of longitudinal art, which is eye-opening."
Shen Qiu rode forward, Yaoqin followed behind, hearing Shen Qiu say this, Yaoqin blinked, she said to Shen Qiu:
"You have to walk the rivers and lakes and fight with people to your death, and it will definitely be of greater use to you than to me.
Shen Qiu, I can't thank you for your help.
You don't like money, why don't you teach you this longitudinal technique along the way? β
Shen Qiu was speechless for a while, and when the horse was galloping, he glanced back at Yaoqin, who looked like a green green at this time, and the other party's big eyes were also looking at him.
"Okay, then please Yaoqin."
Shen Qiu grinned, and Yaoqin's eyes were also a little more relaxed.
-----------
Three and a half days later, on the Chaohu route, Badu Wharf, a boat with the flag of the Li family pharmacy was slowly docking.
Amid the shouts of the outline, a large sturdy wooden plank was placed in the middle of the side of the ship and the bluestone pier covered with green algae, rickety for people to walk on.
When the laborers on the wharf saw that they were working, they shouted to move their bodies, intending to move the goods and work hard to earn money, but when the ship came to a stop, it was not the cargo or the sailors who were the first to come down.
Rather, it was a charlatan dressed in a bearskin, a hat wrapped in black yarn, and a knife box on his back.
He was tall and thin, and there were small golden bells hanging from his wrists and hilts, but the strange thing was that the bells did not make a sound when he walked on the shaking planks.
Behind the Jianghu guest, followed by a young man in Tsing Yi with a backpack and a long shirt.
With your head down, your hands together, and walking briskly, there is always a feeling of lightness.
Although the pace of each step was small, the stride was quite fast, and he followed closely behind Shen Qiu.
The two walked into the lively wharf, which was in the morning, and there were still some fish vendors on the wharf, which made the wharf smell more fishy.
Shen Qiu bought a few buns along the way, wrapped them in oiled paper, and took the little guy behind him into the Heluo Gang Inn on the dock.
Shen Qiu showed the shopkeeper the seal letter that Lei Ye had given at the beginning, asked him to arrange a fast boat to Luoyang, and asked for a quiet courtyard in the backyard of the inn to stay for half a day.
"I've worked hard for you these past few days."
Shen Qiu put the hot buns on the table and plates, he turned back to Yaoqin, who was tired behind him, making men's clothes, and rubbing his feet on the bed, and said:
"You have been pampered since you were a child, and you probably haven't suffered from this kind of long-distance walking, so you will rest for a while, and I will send someone to prepare hot water for you.
When you arrive in Badu, you can change to Huaishui and sail, and you will be able to reach Luoyang in two days. β
"Actually, it's fine."
Yaoqin rubbed her forehead, took off her cloth hat, and spread her black hair away, she said to Shen Qiu:
"I used to go to other places to check the business name, and I had to travel a long way, so I really bothered you to take care of it all the way."
"Don't be reckless."
Shen Qiu smiled and said:
"I've seen your Su Mansion's private building boat.
Except that the area is a little smaller, just like the Falling Moon Piano Platform, the decoration is gorgeous and comfortable, how can it compare to being in a small cabin, squeezed with me for several days?
Grab a bite to eat and take a break, I'll be waiting outside the door. β
After speaking, Shen Qiu pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
After a while, a man brought a large wooden barrel, and hot water was boiled in the kitchen.
The inn here in Badu is okay, after all, it has already arrived in the core area of the Heluo Gang.
But the degree of food and clothing is definitely not as good as Suzhou.
There is a special bath in the piano platform, and when you need to wash, there are naturally maids and servants who burn the earth dragon under the bath to heat the water.
In the Badu near the Central Plains, in this inn, in this cold winter, it is too difficult to take a hot bath.
If it weren't for Shen Qiunai's Heluo Gang guests, the innkeeper would definitely not bother to think about it and serve him with his heart.
Yaoqin took off her clothes in the wing room, she looked at the furnishings in this room, she had never been in such a simple house since she was a child.
She quietly looked out the window, and Shen Qiu was moving in front of the wing, as if she was carefully reviewing the "Long River Lonely Smoke" longitudinal technique.
is also guarding this house and not letting others peep, which makes Yaoqin's heart feel a lot more stable.
She closed the window, removed her bandeau and belly, and trousers, and fell into the warm barrel in a flash, and the warm water flowed through her white jade skin, making Yaoqin let out a comfortable moan.
Along the way, the wind and dust are served.
She has to hide her figure in the cabin, she is a lady, and she is crammed into a cabin with Shen Qiu, which is indeed too inconvenient.
Although Shen Qiu was a gentleman all the way and slept on the floor in the cabin, Yaoqin always had waves in her heart.
The worries in his heart have not relaxed, especially when he thinks of meeting Lei Shiyin and Lei Ye soon, Yaoqin has a kind of apprehension in his heart, and he still has some expectations.
Outside the door, Shen Qiu's ears were very smart.
After all, when he entered the list, the true qi in his body was also much stronger, and the true qi flowed through the acupuncture points and meridians to warm and nourish the body, making the muscles and bones of the body different from ordinary people. ζζΊη«― δΈη§θ¨δ½γβm.\B\iq\u\g\\o\mγ provides you with wonderful \ novel reading.
When you reach this realm of martial arts, your ears and eyes will be clear, and your five senses will be keen.
Although the sound of Yaoqin washing in the room was faint, it could still be heard by Shen Qiu.
As soon as I thought of the wall, there was a lady bathing and resting, Yaoqin's not charming, but very attractive face flashed into Shen Qiu's heart, making Shen Qiu suddenly have mixed thoughts.
The feet moved exquisitely, and the lonely smoke step, which was already very skillful, was also a little chaotic, causing the footwork to stop.
The leisurely temperament of lonely smoke in the wind has also dissipated.
Shen Qiu's heart couldn't calm down, so he whistled.
The Shocking Beast broke through the air and landed on Shen Qiu's raised arm, and he took out a written letter from his sleeve and tied it to the Shocking Wing's claws.
"Go to Luoyang and find that fat beast."
Shen Qiu stroked the mighty feathers of the Amazing Beast and said to his pet:
"Visit Lei Ye in advance for me, and by the way, see if there is any big move in Lei Mansion."
With a scream, he got up and flew into the clouds.
Shen Qiumo rubbed his chin, he would have to go to the Badu Beggars Gang for a while, and he should have eyebrows to ask Song Beggars to collect the news.
If it can be confirmed again, the remaining Holy Fire Sect thieves are causing chaos in Luoyang.
Then the certainty of this trip can be three more points.
"Master Lei, what decision will you make?"
Shen Qiu thought in his heart, and heard the sound of water in the room behind him, and his heart was turbulent again, so he held the sword jade and escaped into a dream.
It's still good here, it's finally calm.
