Chapter 22 Xingyun Li Garden
"Who is this man?" Shile asked.
"Do you think I'll know?"
"Are you so familiar with martial arts plots, and what else do you not know?" Ten Luck was a little surprised.
Lu Ning suddenly asked, "Do you think what he said is true or false?" ”
"What, do you suspect he's false?"
Lu Ning pondered, he naturally knew that what this person said was not a lie, because in the original work, Long Xiaoyun did recover his martial arts because of practicing the book "The Treasure of the Flowers" left by Wang Lianhua, but in the original plot, the book was taken by Long Xiaoyun to the money gang in exchange for Li Xunhuan's life, and in the end he was killed, and the "Treasure of the Flowers" was also disposed of with his corpse, and there was no whereabouts after that, so if you want to find the treasure book again, only the living Long Xiaoyun has it.
Of course, Lu Ning didn't know whether this Pity Flower Treasure had any effect on him, but he had always felt strange in his heart, since this person knew that Long Xiaoyun had a secret book, why didn't he snatch it, but told the two of them?
"This person is crazy, even if there is a conspiracy, but if you can snatch the "Treasure of Mercy Flowers", then your internal strength may be restored." Shile comforted.
"That's right." Lu Ning felt a little relieved, and when he asked where Qingxing Yunzhuang was going, the two paid for tea and walked towards Xingyunzhuang.
Xingyunzhuang, this is the former residence of Li Xunhuan, Chang'an Li Garden, but now it is no longer the scene of the year, a pair of red lacquer doors are broken, fall to the ground, the village is overgrown with weeds, it seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time, only the old door couplets on both sides of the door are left, recording the former glory of this village.
One door is seven jinshi, and the father and son are three tanhua.
Tanhua, Lu Ning brushed off the gray on it, and looked at these two words quietly, Xiao Li Tanhua, there is no false hair, there is no false hair, what kind of loneliness does this imply?
Lu Ning took out the single knife on his horseback, he had not used it since he came down the mountain, and maybe he would never use it again in the future.
After tying up the horses, the two walked into the village.
The village is desolate, there is no human figure, the grass and trees are uncared for, and they breed everywhere.
"Why is there no one here?" Shile asked.
Lu Ning didn't answer, just walked forward.
Passing through the front house, a bamboo forest is quiet, faintly revealing a small building, hidden in the trees, and the forest path is clean, obviously someone often cleans.
The two walked in front of the building, knocked lightly on the door, and after a long time, the wooden door screwed open, and out came a plain woman, dignified and virtuous, but there was a trace of sadness between the eyebrows, and although it was middle-aged, it could still be seen that the beautiful face of the year, saw the two standing at the door, and asked: "Who are you?" ”
Lu Ning knew that she must be Long Xiaoyun's mother, Lin Shiyin, and hurriedly bowed her hand and said: "Lu Ning of the Xia Wudang faction, this is a monk from the Shaolin faction, who came to visit Long Xiaoyun and Long Gongzi. ”
Long Xiaoyun had grown up at this time, and looking at his mother's appearance, he could guess that he should be similar to himself at this time, so Lu Ning was called Long Gongzi.
Lin Shiyin saw that he was polite, and the two of them were born and were both decent martial arts, so he said apologetically: "
It's really unfortunate that Xiao'er went out for the past two days and was not at home. ”
Lu Ning couldn't help but feel a little lost, but he didn't give up and asked, "I don't know where Long Gongzi went?" ”
"I just said that I was bored and went out to play, but I didn't say where I went, I don't know what important things the two of you have?" When Lin Shiyin mentioned her son, she couldn't help but smile a little.
Seeing that Shile was about to blurt out, Lu Ning hurriedly said: "There's nothing important, I just admire this old martial arts place, so I came to pay a visit." ”
Lin Shiyin's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, flashed, looked at the two of them again, and said: "In this case, the house in this village is much vacant, the two of you can rest here for a few days, maybe the child will return in a few days, and you can also see each other when you pour." ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Lu Ning saluted again, and Shile also bowed to her with his palms together.
"It's inconvenient for the woman to entertain guests, so the two of you can do it yourself." With that, Lin Shiyin retreated into the house and closed the door.
The two of them retreated, and Shile asked, "What's the matter, why didn't you tell her just now that we were here to ask for the cheats of the "Treasure of Mercy Flowers"." ”
"Call you stupid, do you think everyone will make their martial arts secrets public and share them with others?"
"Didn't we come to seek medical treatment, what are you afraid of, and if you don't learn the martial arts on his treasure, can't you just let that Long Xiaoyun diagnose and treat you?"
Lu Ning looked at his idiot eyes and couldn't help sighing: "Do you think this pair of orphans and widows will easily reveal to outsiders that they keep a book of martial arts secrets?" ”
"What then?" Shile hurriedly said, "Your internal injuries are gone?" ”
Why don't you know what kind of person this Long Xiaoyun is, don't forget that he is a child in the original book, he is still vicious, although there are signs of repentance in the later period, but it is difficult to say that he can abandon evil and follow good, do you think he is a doctor who saves lives and helps the wounded?
"Do you want to snatch it?"
Lu Ning was silent, even if he made a move, he was not necessarily his opponent, you must know that this Long Xiaoyun has been like a genius since he was a child, and he has practiced the martial arts of "Pity Flower Treasure" for so many years, and he is afraid that he doesn't know how high his martial arts should be, but he is now living like a seclusion, and he is not famous in the rivers and lakes, if it weren't for Li Xunhuan's name, I'm afraid everyone just thinks that this is just a village for ordinary people.
The two found a house, it turned out that although the outside of the house was dilapidated, the inside was still tidy, and it was thought that Lin Shiyin's mother and son often cleaned it.
The house is simple, but the ordinary tables, chairs and beds are not decorated with calligraphy and paintings on the walls, and some tables and chairs are decorated. Presumably when the mother and son were living a hard life, they took it out.
Thinking of this, I also sympathized with the previous life of this mother and son.
The lonely dusk, the slanting sun is as big as a wheel, and the sky is shining, but it makes the heaven and the earth more colorful, showing this kind of loneliest dusk before the nightfall.
Shile lay peacefully in bed, he slept all day, that is, he ate, I really don't know how his internal strength was trained.
Lu Ning sat cross-legged, whispering silently, what he was reading was the heart method in "Jiuyang Divine Skill", and his heart secretly followed the true qi of the heart method, but it had been more than half an hour, and he had never felt any sense of qi in the dantian.
Then try the Wudang Heart Method and Wudang Pure Yang Gong, which is already like this, Lu Ning couldn't help but feel bored in his heart, walked out of the door, and stretched.
Seeing that it was too late, I remembered the admiration for Xiao Li's flying knife outside the door today, and my heart moved, and I practiced the knife technique I learned in the old days.
Although I haven't practiced for more than a month at this time, I feel depressed in my heart after I cast it, and I can't help but feel happy with my own moves, dancing with a single knife in my hand, whirring, and my heart is immersed in this, and I don't know the time, but the two knife techniques are used back and forth throughout, and there is no stagnation. When he suddenly woke up, he found that these two sword techniques had risen to the late stage of their peak.
Finally there is something to be happy about. Lu Ning was happy in his heart, and he didn't smile on his face. Suddenly, I raised my eyes and saw a figure in the bamboo forest, I was shocked, and then I fixed my eyes to look at it, but it was just an empty place, except for a few rows of green bamboo, there was no one.
Could it be that I'm old? Lu Ning thought to himself.
On a cool summer night, although there is still afterglow, it has already darkened, and there is a light breeze to send bamboo waves to sway lightly, thinking that I am wrong. Comforting himself in his heart, Lu Ning choked the knife back into its sheath and returned to the house.
Shile had already woken up and sat cross-legged on the bed, as if practicing internal strength.
Not long after, Lin Shiyin came and brought some dinner in, Lu Ning thanked her, and saw her leave in a hurry. It looks like it is clear porridge and cabbage tofu, but it is fragrant, thinking that it is because I am tired from practicing and hungry.
Ten happiness can be opened, so he got out of bed and ate together.
At this moment, there were suddenly many footsteps outside, which were chaotic for a while, especially in this silent night.
"Seven people." Shile listened for a while and said.
"Why is anyone here at such a late hour?" Lu Ning put down the dishes and chopsticks and muttered to himself.
"Go out and have a look."
When the two of them went out of the house, they saw a group of people walking in the bamboo forest behind the house, counting seven people, holding lanterns in their hands, standing in front of the small building.
"Brother Yun is here? For his brother Zhao Yanping came to visit. I saw one of the sons in a white robe shouting loudly.
I didn't see the door open for a long time, but I only heard Lin Shiyin in the house say: "Xiao'er is not at home today, Zhao Gongzi should please go back." ”
"It turned out to be my aunt." The boy replied and said, "The little nephew came tonight, and I just want to ask Brother Yun what he thinks about and whether he is willing to sell this Zhuangzi to me." ”
There was no answer in the house, Lu Ning only felt a little strange, and then looked at the impatient look on the boy's face, waiting for the answer in the house, but there was no response.
The boy said again: "Why doesn't my aunt make a sound?" ”
"Women's families, it's inconvenient to get involved in these foreign affairs, Zhao Gongzi should wait for my son to come back and discuss it with him himself."
That Zhao Yan's face was cold, but he couldn't, so he had to snort coldly, turn around and brush his sleeves and leave.
A group of people dressed as family members followed behind, and one of them followed aside, describing obscenity, and said: "Why should the prince be polite to this orphan and widow, and directly drive them out and seize this Xingyunzhuang, what can they do?" ”
Zhao Yan's face was cold, and he scolded: "What do you know, his father and my father were close friends back then, if we forcibly occupy this place, wouldn't it hurt my father's face if we said it?" ”
The man just said: "Yes, yes, what the prince thinks about is that the old man is said to be iron-faced and selfless, so naturally he can't deal with his friend's wife and children like this, but this mother and son are really hateful, and we have also persuaded each other, but the oil and salt are not entered, how good is this!" ”
What an iron-faced and selfless person, Lu Ning and Shile looked at each other and sneered, knowing that what these people were talking about should be the Zhao Zhengyi that the two of them talked about during the day. Seeing that this group of people was approaching, Shi Le sighed and said loudly to Lu Ning: "Look, I'll just say that the iron mask is selfless, listening to this nickname, it will definitely not be a good bird, sure enough, let me say it." ”
In fact, these people have already seen Shile and Lu Ning, but they are just ordinary people, there are often outsiders living in this Xingyun Village, and Lin Shiyin does good deeds on weekdays, and when he saw that the passers-by on the tour side had nowhere to live, they gave them a place to stay. However, they left in a few days, so these people did not take the two of them to heart.
However, at this moment, seeing that this fat monk was so disrespectful, he couldn't help but be furious, Zhao Yanping shouted: "Where did the bald donkey come from, talking nonsense here!" ”
Seeing that he has a beautiful face and a folding fan in his hand, he is completely like a rich son, but Meiyu has a lofty appearance, no elegance at all, and in the eyes of the two, he is a bad face.
"Where did the puppy come from, the noisy people in the middle of the night are not at peace, there is really no tutor!" Shile sneered at each other, and he must not be able to suffer at all.
The subordinates next to Zhao Yanping saw that their son was suffering, but they were not happy, and stepped forward and scolded: "This monk is so daring!" Do you know who this person is? This is the iron-faced and selfless son of Uncle Zhao's family, and if you don't come forward to apologize, otherwise you will not be able to get out of this Chang'an city gate. ”
Lu Ning thought to himself why these people were all ruffians with the same faces, and even the lines were the same. was unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't help but say: "The Uncle Zhao you are talking about is Zhao Zhengyi?" ”
"It's Uncle Zhao Zhengyi!" The next person was smug on his face, as if he was that Zhao Zhengyi.
Shile slapped the man in the face and scolded: "you, the slave of the dog fighting the human power!" ”
As soon as he made his move, several people over there surrounded the two of them, and Zhao Yanping saw that the two of them were unremarkable, and he also thought about the people who were similar to these two people on the rivers and lakes, but he just couldn't think of it, so he didn't think much about it, and shouted: Teach these two things that don't know how to live or die!
Everyone responded, Lu Ning saw that their steps were frivolous, obviously just an ordinary way, and immediately retreated, quickly hit the nose of the person in front of him, and suddenly the person covered his nose and squatted down, Lu Ning walked out of the encirclement and stood outside the door looking at everyone. Shile was rubbing his hands inside, and when he saw Lu Ning retreating, he raised his hand to knock down the family members who came to pursue Lu Ning on both sides, and beckoned: "Come on, come on!" The monk will teach you what politeness is today. ”
After that, an arrow rushed towards Zhao Yanping, seeing his fat body rampage, Zhao Yanping was frightened in his heart, he didn't like to practice martial arts on weekdays, but he was just like ordinary people, seeing Shile coming fiercely, his face changed color and exclaimed: "Stop him, don't let him come!" ”
How could the family on the side be Shile's opponent, he was rushed into by Shile, and his flesh knocked these people to the ground like a tiger descending from a mountain, and rushed straight at Zhao Yanping, slapping his palm and slapping on his handsome face, and suddenly a red palm print appeared.
"You... Do you dare to hit me? Zhao Yanping covered his face and screamed, he was used to being a star in Chang'an on weekdays, how could he be treated like this, and shouted at the top of his voice.
Shile's slap was very smooth, seeing him crying like a wolf, his backhand was another palm, and there was a crisp sound, only to hear Lu Ning himself feel numb on his face, and he slandered in his heart: This monk... The shot was too ruthless.
"Don't fight, don't fight! Spare your life! Zhao Yanping saw that this fierce monk was really arrogant, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, looking at Shile with teary eyes.
Shi Le only felt goosebumps all over his body when he saw it, and scolded: "You little white face will bully people, and you will only shout for mercy when you kick the iron plate, let me ask you, since the owner here is your father's best friend, why do you dare to come and rob his property?" “
Seeing the fierce look on his face, where did Zhao Yanping dare not tell the truth, he had to tell the truth.
It turned out that the father and son of the Zhao family had intersected with the Long family of Xingyunzhuang, but because after the death of Long Xiaoyun, only orphans and widows were left in the family, then Zhao Zhengyi had already been blushing at this land, but this Xingyunzhuang was given to Long Xiaoyun by Li Xunhuan back then. But the mother and son only moved to the backyard building later, although they didn't take care of the front yard, they refused to sell it anyway, Zhao Zhengyi Qian's donkey skills were poor, but he couldn't catch the handle of the mother and son, so he had to send his son to come to discuss in a few days, and only regarded this matter as his own son messing around, if Lin Shiyin's mother and son were forced to tighten, he would come out again to sing white faces, scold him, and then continue to harass, it has been more than a year.
Maybe it's because of this that Long Xiaoyun wants to go out to play and relax. Lu Ning thought in his heart.
"What an iron-faced and selfless person, at first I thought it was really a righteous senior, but it turned out to be just a villain who oppressed the good!" Shile was indignant in his heart, he had always been unhappy with this kind of thing, not to mention seeing such a person who deceived the world and stole his name, he couldn't vent, seeing that this Zhao Yanping was in front of him, he raised his leg is a kick, and Zhao Yanping fell to the ground and screamed.
"Master, stop!"
Suddenly, Lin Shiyin came over and persuaded: "Thank you master for the grievances of my mother and son, but this person is the son of my late husband's friend, and I can't bear to see him suffer this humiliation, so the master should let him go." ”
Shi Le was angry in his heart, and kicked again, and Zhao Yanping snorted a few times on the ground, saying, "What's the matter!" Get out, next time, "let the Buddha see that you don't do good things, so you have to break your dog's legs, so that you know that you know how powerful!"
As soon as the words were finished, several family members who were lying on the ground hurriedly got up, helped Zhao Yanping up, showed off their might when they came, and went back with a group of people humming and chirping.
Then Lin Shiyin saluted the two again, and then said goodbye, a farce turned away, but Lu Ning's heart made waves again, these people are bullying people like this, will they be able to change because they have learned some lessons? I thought about it in my heart, and thought that it was better to kill the account, but it was the best result. Thinking like this, I feel much more relaxed. The two went into the house and slept separately, and did not mention it all night.
