The sunset over the Yellow River.

The yellow sun sets at the end of the long river, and the river reaches the sea in the east, but the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

Then the sky was filled with stars.

By the time the sun rose again from the east of the Long River the next day, and the sparkling morning light was sprinkled on the Yellow River, Shang Jiuge had already disembarked.

As Shang Jiuge, who had become a gangster who was even more terrible than the Seventeen Thieves, of course no one dared to drive her off the ship.

But it was Shang Jiuge himself who got off the boat.

Because the boat slowly becomes boring.

Even if she said that the sauerkraut fish soup was delicious, it was much better than the fish she grilled herself.

"You don't have to get off the boat with me." Shang Jiu Ge looked at Xie Changfeng in front of him, then thought about it and shook his head: "Okay, it's necessary." ”

Although it is said that in the end, when Shang Jiuge accepted filial piety instead of the river god, he did not omit Xie Changfeng, but accepted one or two silvers without discrimination.

But as the person who brought Shang Jiuge, the plague god, up, Xie Changfeng has undoubtedly become a thorn in the side of most people.

Especially after Shang Jiuge defeated the seventeen thieves of the Yellow River, he immediately sat on the ground and divided the gold and silver, completed the unfinished business of the seventeen thieves, and received everyone's river god filial piety.

Although everyone saw that Shang Jiuge really sprinkled all the silver into the Yellow River and fed it to the river god fish and shrimp, to be honest, who could swallow this breath in their hearts.

Don't mention anything else, Xue Ling's salary as a cook for a month is only four dollars of silver, and these two pieces of silver are equal to her two and a half months' salary.

How will you feel.

Therefore, Xie Changfeng himself was also very wise to follow Shang Jiuge to get off the ship, instead of continuing to stay on the ship.

"Anyway, I don't regret it, but thank the girl for helping me out." Xie Changfeng looked at Shang Jiuge and said seriously: "And Miss Shang's powerful martial arts, it really makes Xie feel ashamed and embarrassed because he doesn't know Mount Tai. ”

"No matter how high my martial arts are, it's not that people are afraid of me." Shang Jiu Ge smiled: "And I'm just a little unhappy." ”

At that time, on the ship, it really felt like the ship was full of its enemies.

This feeling is really unhappy.

Obviously, their enemies should only be the seventeen thieves of the Yellow River, but those who paid the money have already put their hearts on the thieves' side.

This made Shang Jiuge very unhappy.

It's even a little disgusting.

"And where are you going next?" Shang Jiuge looked at him: "Are you going back to your hometown in Shanxi?" ”

Xie Changfeng shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"If I really paid the fare for the whole ship yesterday, then I would have to go back to my hometown."

"But now, I have sold those goods, and I now have about seventy or eighty taels of silver on me." Xie Changfeng looked at Shang Jiuge: "It's probably a walk around the generation in Henan, and take a look at this great river and mountain." ”

"In that case." Shang Jiu Ge thought sideways: "By the way, do you want to learn this kind of martial arts of mine?" ”

"The girl wants to take me as an apprentice?" Xie Changfeng was taken aback.

"Of course I didn't take you as an apprentice." Shang Jiuge shook his head and said, "You can't learn my martial arts, and Huashan's martial arts are not suitable for you." ”

"Then ......" Xie Changfeng suddenly realized: "Miss Shang turned out to be from the Huashan faction?" ”

"Hmm." Shang Jiu Ge vaguely agreed.

"Shanxi Egret Academy, have you heard of it?" Shang Jiu Ge said again.

Xie Changfeng nodded: "That is the world-famous No. 1 academy, I heard that the standards for opening an academy to accept apprentices are very strict, and not ordinary people can enter." ”

"It's good to have heard of it." Shang Jiu Ge smiled: "I just don't happen to be an ordinary person. ”

Saying this, Shang Jiu Ge stretched out his hand to Xie Changfeng, Xie Changfeng was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Shang Jiu Ge was going to do, he could only see the girl's white palm, the knuckles were slender and delicate, and he couldn't even see the thin calloon, and he couldn't imagine how Shang Jiu Ge cultivated such a profound martial art.

"Pen and paper." Shang Jiu Ge quietly spit out two words from his mouth.

Xie Changfeng himself was born as a scholar, and as a businessman, he also had to write down his accounts on paper, so when he heard Shang Jiuge's explanation, although he didn't know what it meant, he still took it out of the package, and then used the Yellow River water to study ink for Shang Jiuge.

Shang Jiuge dipped his pen in ink and looked at Xie Changfeng: "Turn your back." ”

After Xie Changfeng heard what he said, Shang Jiu Ge moved his pen like the wind, brushed and wrote down a dozen big characters on the white paper, and then brushed his palm on the white paper where the ink had not dried, and the ink was immediately dried by the internal force.

Then Shang Jiu Ge folded up the white paper, stuffed it into an envelope, sealed it, and then looked at Xie Changfeng: "You can turn back now." ”

After Xie Changfeng turned around, Shang Jiu Ge handed him the letter: "If you want to go to the Egret Academy to study and cultivate martial arts, take this letter to the Egret Academy, they will open it and read it, and they will accept you as an apprentice." ”

"But." Shang Jiu Ge paused: "You can't open the content of the letter in private, if you read it, this letter will be useless." ”

Xie Changfeng nodded, and then looked at Shang Jiuge: "Who is the girl?" ”

Shang Jiu Ge smiled: "I said it, I am Shang Jiu Ge, the Shang of Cen Shang Lihe, and the name comes from Chu Ci Jiu Ge." ”

Xie Changfeng remembered Shang Jiuge's name in his heart and asked, "Then if I go to the Egret Academy, will I know more about the girl?" ”

"I don't know." Shang Jiu Ge smiled: "But it should be." ”

"I still have something to do, so I'll go first." With that, Shang Jiu Ge turned to the east and walked along the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

"What is the girl going to do?" Xie Changfeng couldn't help asking.

Shang Jiu Ge turned around and smiled with his back to Chaoyang.

"I'll go find the Seventeen Thieves of the Yellow River."

"Throw them all into the Yellow River and sacrifice to the river god."

……

……

It is only said that Xie Changfeng took Shang Jiuge's letter of recommendation, wandered all the way, went south from the Yellow River, and finally entered Jiangxi, and came to the gate of the so-called Egret Academy.

I only saw the weather at the door, the white lion more than one person tall stood on both sides of the door, and there was a strange stone standing at the door, with four words on it: dismount here.

Although Xie Changfeng was stumbling in his heart, he was still willing to believe Shang Jiuge's words in the end, got up and walked towards the door, but was stopped: "What does this gentleman have to do?" ”

"Come to Egret Academy to apprentice." Xie Changfeng said.

"The opening day of the academy has passed." The porter looked at Xie Changfeng: "Is there a letter of recommendation?" ”

Xie Changfeng hesitated for a moment before taking out the well-preserved belief from his arms: "This is given to me by Miss Shang Jiuge." ”

The two porters were shocked when they heard this: "But Huashan Shang Jiuge? ”

Xie Changfeng never thought that Shang Jiu Ge would have such a big name, but he seemed to have heard Shang Jiu Ge say that she was from Huashan, so he nodded.

The porter who received him respectfully took the fluttering letter with both hands, and presented the letter to the porter beside him: "You go and tell the dean, I will receive this distinguished guest." ”

……

……

Since that day, Xie Changfeng has been worshipping in the Egret Academy, but he has never seen what is written in that letter.

He didn't know that the letter had been stored in the treasure house of the Dean of Egret Academy, nor did he know that the sword qi that was running through the entire room when the letter was opened.

The words were hung there, for a long time.

It wasn't until Xie Changfeng saw it a long, long time later.

At that moment, the gray-haired old man couldn't cry, and the old tears were all over the place.

The words are iron and silver hooks, and the words are like swords.

He said:

"This man has a heroic spirit.

- Huashan Shang Jiuge. ”
