2. Legends of the rivers and lakes

The three Taoist priests did not move around after getting on the bus, and sat on the ground at the junction of the carriages at the other end of the dining car.

As soon as Zhu Tong entered the dining car, he saw a handsome little Taoist priest, Huang Hai said that there were many people on this train, but it was not so crowded that there was not even a seat. Ordinary people don't take it as usual, so their slightly weird behavior is not taken seriously by others.

Zhu Tong doesn't see it that way, the Taoist priest must be a person from the second-grade Taoist sect, and he is also a master of the three grades. Zhu Tong pondered while eating: Why did they also come to this pool of muddy water?

It is rare to gather so many characters on one train.

Zhu Tong has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has never encountered such a situation by train when he travels through the north and south of the river. The eight factions of the rivers and lakes are mysterious and low-key, except for the four poins, the disciples of the other sects usually hide in the market and engage in their own livelihoods, and there will be no such density.

Due to the accident a hundred years ago, there has always been a mustard between the Seven Rank Zhumen and the Second Grade Dao Sect; The reason why the two sides did not clash again was because it was impossible to say who was right and who was wrong, but they were still very careful about each other's actions.

The eight schools of the rivers and lakes are: the first grade of the Golden Buddha, the second grade of the Taoist sect, the third grade of the blue stone, the fourth grade of the red fire, the fifth grade of Qingyang, the sixth grade of the plum garden, the seventh grade of the Zhumen, and the eighth grade of the orchid. Collectively known as the rivers and lakes, the basis of existence is mutual assistance and mutual benefit on the rivers and lakes, and mutual care.

This kind of ranking is actually not meaningful, it does not mean that whoever has a high grade can command other sects, and there is no restraint relationship between each other, it is just a false name. There are many gangs on the rivers and lakes, and there are countless people who have led the coquettish for thousands of years, but fame and power are not inevitable factors for entering the order of the eight factions. The early eight schools of rivers and lakes represented the right path of rivers and lakes, and it was the supreme honor that many sects in the world wanted to get.

The Second Grade Taoist Sect and the First Grade Golden Buddha are two major sects, with many personnel and dojos all over the world, and the kung fu is also the most brilliant. The relationship between them is also very delicate, and they have been competing for the false name of Yipin. This involves the origin of the eight factions in the rivers and lakes, speaking of the long history, for thousands of years, there have been many factions leading the rivers and lakes into the ranks of the eight factions, and with the passage of time faded out, there are so many stories during this period that ten books may not be written.

However, the title of Yipin has never been produced only between the Taoist Sect and the Golden Buddha, and they have never withdrawn from the sequence of the eight sects of the rivers and lakes.

The order of the eight factions was determined by the twelve-year Jianghu drinking party, and the most recent grade rotation was more than 200 years ago.

Due to the Qing Dynasty's respect for Esoteric Buddhism, more and more Tibetan Esoteric lamas entered the Central Plains, and the Golden Buddha faction also absorbed many masters. Two hundred years ago, in the Eight Sects of Jianghu Drinking Party, Ning Bagu, the living Buddha of Weizang Butian Temple, who attended on behalf of the Golden Buddha, defeated the Taoist master Yue Qing Daochang with the Seven Seals of the Phantom Body, and won the title of a product for the Golden Buddha.

In the hundred years since the death of the Taoist of Yueqing, there has never been a peerless master in the Taoist sect, and it has always been ranked as a second grade.

Later, the world was turbulent, and the foreign powers relied on their ships and cannons to humiliate the land of China, and two of the eight factions were affected by the war, one was completely destroyed, and the other degenerated into a foreign minions, and was removed from the Jianghu drinking party.

In order to maintain the tradition of the eight schools of Jianghu and to embody the spirit of advancing with the times, Jianghu Dao no longer uses martial arts to judge superiority and inferiority, and the Liupin Meiyuan and Qipin Zhumen, which are composed of Liyuan disciples, were introduced into the Jianghu Zhengdao.

After the founding of New China, there was a crisis of disconnection between the people in the rivers and lakes, and the drinking party between the eight factions was forced to be interrupted.

For example, the four poinsettias, formerly known as the Red Gate established by the remnants of the Ming Dynasty who were unwilling to accept the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, entered the eight factions of the rivers and lakes three hundred years ago; It used to be a big gang with infinite scenery. But under the ravages of time, it has been reduced to the most criticized faction among the eight factions.

With the development of the times, the flow of population gradually became free, and the eight factions came out of forbearance.

Thirty years ago, the descendants of the Sanpin Blue Stone faction who were exiled abroad during the war returned to China, and after a series of many parties, the Jianghu drinking party, which had been stagnant for more than 20 years, was held again. At this Jianghu cocktail party, the various factions re-erected the banner of Jianghu Dao and established a Jianghu Council composed of eight old people; The wind and clouds on the rivers and lakes are gradually rising, and the previous order has evolved into a tradition, as if no one wants to fight for that false name.

Now everyone is more concerned about other things, and the connection between each other is also more in the use of each other, under the constraints of the new rules of the eight factions of the Jianghu meeting, there will be no conflict between the people in the rivers and lakes.

After all, times are different, and today's law and police are not the six doors of ancient times; The convenience of transportation and the development of communication have made the new generation of people more careful; The most important thing is the development of modern weapons, so that the so-called masters of the past have become paper tigers, and the names of the rivers and lakes are even more vain.

Speaking of the three-grade blue stone, it has always been a mysterious faction, their order is the most stable of the eight factions in the rivers and lakes, and the order of the three grades has never changed. Sanpin Blue Stone is not known for martial arts, and has never produced any peerless masters, they are mostly engaged in the way of business and dart business, has always been the convener of the Jianghu drinking party, and all the expenses at the meeting are also paid by their family, which is also a tradition that has been handed down to this day.

Sanpin Blue Stone has always been known for its wide range of travel, and if other sects encounter difficulties, as long as they find the Blue Stone Sect, they will definitely get help; If any of the Eight Sects is caught by the government, as long as it is not because of something that hurts the heavens and reason, Sanpin Blue Stone will dredge and rescue at any cost. Therefore, although there have been no masters in the three-grade blue stone, no one has challenged them, which also indirectly maintains the status of the first two grades.

Zhu Tong never thought that there was anything free in the world, so he basically stayed away from the Sanpintian Blue Stone, which was related to the teachings of the old liar. Zhu Tong has not participated in the Jianghu drinking party, in the past time, there is only the old liar left in the Qipin Zhumen, and naturally only the old liar represents Zhumen to attend the Jianghu meeting. But the old liar always goes alone, and when he comes back, he loses his temper, and he doesn't tell his apprentices about the Jianghu Society; The result of the two Jianghu meetings was that Zhu Tong's two senior brothers were beaten out of the division.

After the old liar was thrown into the sea to feed the fish two years ago, Zhu Tong and the second senior brother talked about it, if there was still a seat for Zhumen in the Jianghu meeting three years later, the senior brother would be recommended to attend. This is a natural thing, the big brother capsized in Chongqing, which was originally a felony of manslaughter; Although the old liar was harsh on his disciples, he still turned to the Sanpin Blue Stone for help, and was finally sentenced to six years. The senior brother still has two years left in his sentence, and he came out just in time for the Jianghu Club.

Huang Hai and Sheriff Cheng were still analyzing who stole the plum blossom watch, and Zhu Tong and Ye Er ate without a mouthful, thinking about their own thoughts.

The hustle and bustle sounded on the side of the soft sleeper, accompanied by the conductor, the master of Chinese painting Ma Ye walked into the dining car with three disciples, and immediately became the focus of the dining car, and even Ye'er's face swelled with excitement.

is still a celebrity who has face, and after the conductor arranged for four people to sit down, the sheriff also went over to greet him; Ma Ye's hearty laughter filled the entire carriage, and he said: "It's too polite, it's too polite." ”

Ye Er just said to Zhu Tong that Ma Ye is a master of Chinese painting living in Shanghai, and his disciples and friends are all over the world. However, in just a few minutes, Zhu Tong's understanding of Ma Ye surpassed Ye Er, and he had already concluded that Ma Ye was also a person in the rivers and lakes.

It was not Ma Ye's female disciple who revealed his identity, Zhu Tong turned his back to the direction they came from, and it was the gesture made by the Taoist priest on the other end of the dining car that made him understand that Ma Ye was a high-ranking figure in the eight factions of the rivers and lakes, and the gesture of the little Taoist priest was the respect of the younger generation to the elders; This gesture shows that Ma Ye is a master such as an elder of a faction, but he is not a member of the Second Rank Dao Sect, and the little Taoist and Ma Ye are more familiar with each other.

Ma Yegu sat in the middle of the dining car, his face rushed to Zhu Tong's side, his eyes swept over Zhu Tong; From these weathered but still clear eyes, Zhu Tong read a few traces of concern. It's strange, the little liar didn't even know the name Ma Ye before today, but he seemed to know what Zhu Tong looked like.

The sheriff returned and continued to talk to the Yellow Sea; Zhu Tong was guessing what kind of elders Ma Ye was, and a group came in the dining car, this time from the hard-seat car.

The front of the big fire wheel took the lead, and the smoke swayed its waist and followed; They also saw three Taoist priests, as if they had greeted each other.

After a while, the men of the big steamer also appeared in the aisle, and the Xinjiang people seemed to have been mixed and almost fell, and turned around to scold the little Taoist, who was still sitting on the ground, snorting expressionlessly. The big fire wheel took a look, and the Xinjiang people were persuaded by another person to enter the dining car. They were divided into two tables, the big fire wheel and Yanzi sat at the entrance, and the two killers came over and sat on the table next to Zhu Tong.

The smoke almost snuggled into the arms of the big fire wheel, and Jiao smiled and threw a pair of charming eyes everywhere, and stopped for a moment when he swept over Zhu Tong's side, from there, he could see the hatred hidden in the depths.

The phone in his pocket rang, and Zhu Tong saw a cigarette listening to the phone more than ten meters away, and put the phone to his ear.

"Zhu Lang, how is your injury? It's so distressing, people don't want to hurt you, they are all brothers of the fire wheel who don't know the severity, don't take the revenge on me. The money you are talking about, that is, I didn't receive the million. Have you forgotten? People are waiting for money. ”

"You wait, you pay when you go back." A crazy woman is unreasonable, Zhu Tong sighed in his heart and hung up the phone, he didn't give the money, because Wang Juefei hadn't paid it yet. When he retracted his gaze, he saw Ma Ye's female disciple smiling and winking at him, as if he meant mockery. This is even more strange, she seems to know the relationship between Yanzi and herself?

Because of the relationship between the master of Chinese painting Ma Ye, the people in the dining car were all revolving around the table, and the big fire wheel slapped the table and shouted: "Is there anyone?" After sitting for a long time, there was no one to greet you, so you don't do business anymore? ”

Zhu Tong thought: The big steamer is also crazy, he even ignores the police and the Yellow Sea on the dining car, and wants to calculate himself here. I want to come to the big steamer to show my majesty in front of the smoke, such a reckless recklessness, where is the appearance of the second leader of the rivers and lakes?

The service lady hurriedly walked over, just said sorry, her accent was a little emphasized, and the big hot wheel shouted again: "What attitude do you have, you won't even say sorry?" I don't understand Shanghainese. ”

The sergeant stood up and stepped forward, and the attention of everyone in the dining car was drawn to the firewheel; Zhu Tong complained in his heart, the two people around him should be about to do it. Zhu Tong sat near the window, opposite Ye'er, and Huang Hai sat next to Ye'er. The sergeant sat outside Zhu Tong just now, and now he went to the side of the big steamer, and Zhu Tong happened to face the two men of the big steamer.

A cold smile flashed on the faces of the Xinjiang people, and the right hand that had been stretched out in his arms moved; Zhu Tong didn't know what was going to shoot over, and he didn't know how to dodge, he was on guard, a slight jumping sound sounded in his ears, and a green bamboo hairpin fell on Zhu Tong's leg, and that's it, there was no power at all.

Could this be the other side's means? Zhu Tong saw the disbelief on the faces of the Xinjiang people, and immediately understood: the Xinjiang people were plotted, and there was a short crossbow in his clothes, which was supposed to shoot a short arrow and was dropped by someone. Who is it, Zhu Tong glanced at the little Taoist priest on the other end of the dining car, although his face was still expressionless, but it was probably them.

Xinjiang people put their hands deep into their clothes, and took this opportunity to Zhu Tong to stand up: "I'm full, I'm a little tired, go back first." You use it slowly. ”

Huang Hai was about to be polite, but Ye'er also stood up and said, "I won't eat it." Huang Hai could only get up and say hello to the conductor, and the three of them walked to the sleeper car. Zhu Tong walked at the end, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the Xinjiang people, as if he couldn't stand steadily, and said in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm sleepy at only one o'clock." ”

On the other side, the sergeant was checking the documents of the big steamer, and Yanzi looked at Zhu Tong's departing figure fiercely, making a cool breeze blow on his back.

Ye Er went to wash the fruits, and Zhu Tong lay down on the top bunk, listening to Huang Hai talk about the Chinese painting master Ma Ye, while thinking about his own business.

He can sell for more than 100,000 yuan with a single painting, and he has villas on Chongming Island and villas in Pudong, which is very popular. We have a painting of him at home, and Ye'er said okay, I can't see what's good; It's not as good as you're drawing, is it? ”

Ye Er came in with a plate of fruits, and Huang Hai said the latter sentence to her; But he was spitted: "What do you know?" I am doodling, and Ma Lao is the real artist. ”

"Yes, yes, Ye'er has wanted to be a painter since he was a child, I just see that your paintings are good, and I will definitely be better than him in the future." Huang Hai was still comforting Ye'er, but he couldn't get to the point at all, Ye'er used a knife to peel the fruit and ignored him.

Zhu Tong is thinking about the smoke and the big steamer, and the fact that Xinjiang people miss once does not mean that they will have such good luck next time. If you go head-to-head, you don't have the slightest chance of winning; Zhu Tong wants to use it within the framework of the rules of the rivers and lakes to cut off the hand next to the big fire wheel. It's too dangerous, the Xinjiang people are targeting their own legs, and the big steamer is too arrogant to hurt people in broad daylight in front of the police.

Although the disciples of Zhumen are not very good at healing, they are very good at seeing people; As soon as they met Zhu Tong, he was sure that this Xinjiang man was taking drugs, and he must have drugs on him.

But Zhu Tong couldn't say it directly to Huang Hai or the sheriff, besides, he wanted to count the big steamer into it, and Zhu Tong didn't want such a group of people to follow him.

There is only one point that is more difficult, Zhu Tong still has a little conscience, and he doesn't want to involve the cigarettes in this bureau.

The mobile phone rang with pleasant music, Zhu Tong glanced at the number, it was a cigarette calling, got up and walked into the aisle to listen to the call.

"Don't think it's safe to have the police as a companion, just let you know that as long as you pay 50,000 yuan, someone can do anything for me." Yanzi's voice is still so gentle, but the words he says are not gentle at all.

Zhu Tong glanced back, Ye Er was saying something to Huang Hai, stretched out his hand to pull the door and whispered: "Yanzi, I always only ask about conscience and not right and wrong. We are inappropriate, you are too greedy, and the rules of Zhumen cannot tolerate your greed. As I said at the beginning, people in the rivers and lakes are their homes, and there is no result only at the beginning. For the sake of the two years we have been together, there are still some good memories, and this time I will let you go. Are you in the bathroom? Don't go back to the dining car, change your appearance and find a place to hide within three minutes, I know you have the ability, otherwise you will bear the consequences, you have already leaked. Miss Yanzi, I never push people to a dead end, but I am never afraid of death; You remember, this is the last time. ”

Zhu Tong hung up the phone and stood in the aisle of the sleeper car looking at the scenery outside.

Changsha is coming, the winter in Hunan is also green, in the humid water, the buildings on both sides of the railway gradually have a city flavor; In the distance, the shadow of a tall building looms.

Just three minutes after I arrived, there was a scream from the dining car, followed by the sound of tables and chairs toppling over.

Zhu Tong opened the door and said to Huang Hai: "There seems to be an accident in the dining car." ”

Huang Hai really jumped up and ran to the dining car, Ye Er was so quiet, and he also came out to stand with Zhu Tong and looked at the dining car.

There was the sound of a fight on the other side of the dining car, and the sheriff was yelling; As soon as Huang Hai entered, he shouted: "Get down." The body disappeared around the corner.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

Zhu Tong comforted Ye'er, but in fact, he was not sure what was going on. He just used a lighter to spray a little psychedelic agent in front of the eyes of Xinjiang people, which can trigger his drug addiction and make him forget everything around him, and that's it.

The first to come out was the Chinese painting master Ma Ye, who hurriedly walked out of the dining car accompanied by the train captain; The conductor was still apologizing: "I'm scared to you, look at the current social climate, what kind of drugs have harmed people." I didn't expect Ma Lao to have such skills, thanks to your help, I caught those two wicked people. ”

Ma Ye shook his head and smiled, and taught his disciple while dealing with the train captain: "The effort of raising your hands is not enough. Lao Yu only learned a little qigong when he was young, but he didn't expect it to be able to use it. There are black and white in society, and we understand these when we paint, a piece of white rice paper is very clean, but it is monotonous and boring. Young people can do anything, they just can't take drugs. Few people who get involved in drugs end well. ”

When he walked by Zhu Tong's side, he seemed to point to it: "When I was eighteen years old, I traveled to most of China, and my favorite is the landscape of Xiangxi. But please bother with today's matter, and ask your staff not to say it, you know, we people have a little thing, and those reporters can blow it to the sky. ”

The conductor nodded happily, a painting by the master of Chinese painting Ma Ye is worth a lot of money, and he can't afford it with his salary.
