Chapter 253: Niujia Village (2-in-1 Grand Chapter)
Everyone stayed on Peach Blossom Island for another month, and Zhou Botong couldn't help it and yelled to leave. He was imprisoned on Peach Blossom Island by Huang Yaoshi for fifteen years, and he was tired of Peach Blossom Island for a long time, and as early as when he came out of the cave where he was imprisoned, he couldn't wait to leave Peach Blossom Island and go back to the mainland to play.
It's just that Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren suddenly came to the island first, and finally repelled Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren, and Huang Yaoshi was injured again, so naturally it was not good to mention leaving immediately. In fact, Zhou Botong didn't have anything to be embarrassed to mention, but others didn't want to leave at that time, and it was not interesting for him to go by himself, so he had to reluctantly stay first.
Next, Huang Yaoshi took out the two books of the Nine Yin and Nine Yang True Scriptures and discussed them in detail, but it made him so happy that he almost couldn't find the north, the Nine Yin True Scriptures He had only read the first volume before, but he didn't know anything about the martial arts in the next volume. And the Jiuyang True Scripture has never even heard of it, let alone seen it, there are not only clever martial arts to learn, but also Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong, two ready-made fighting opponents, during this time, Zhou Bo passed it is really happy.
But no matter how interesting things are, there are times when they are tired after all, Huang Yaoshi and the other three are all the world's top masters, and their attainments in martial arts are extremely deep, although the two true scriptures of the Nine Yin and Nine Yang are both peerless, but under the joint participation of the three of them, it only took two or three months to participate in the research, and the rest need to concentrate on penance and deepen the skill.
And after two or three months of frequent fighting, Zhou Botong has lost his freshness in fighting with Hong Qigong and Huang Yaoshi, and he is not as interested as he was at the beginning. After thinking about it, I began to think about going back to the mainland again.
Being yelled at by Zhou Botong like this, Hong Qigong also moved the mind to leave, after these months of recuperation, Huang Yaoshi's injuries have recovered, and his martial arts have improved greatly, even if Ouyang Feng and others go and return, Huang Yaoshi's ability can also cope with it. And he has been away for so long, and he is also a little worried about the beggar gang.
Don't look at his usual games, it's common for beggars to not see his figure for a year or two. That's because it's not a big deal. There are really major events related to the rise and fall of the beggars. He still has to go back to the gang to preside.
I found out that Qiu Qianren wanted to collude with Wanyan Honglie, the sixth king of the Jin Kingdom, but this time I saw him and Ouyang Feng mixed together. If Qiu Qianren really led the people of the Iron Palm Gang to attack the beggar gang during this period, without him as the gang leader to preside over the overall situation, the beggar gang would definitely suffer. So he's a little worried about that. I also want to go back and see how it goes.
Seeing that Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong were both leaving. Ling Muyun also moved his mind to leave, now calculating the time, it has only been more than half a year since the second Huashan Sword Debate. During this time, he still had one more thing to do, and that was to translate the Sanskrit general outline of the Nine Yin Sutra. If you don't get the whole Nine Yin Sutra, it's just that, since the whole Nine Yin Sutra has been obtained, if you don't translate the most essential Sanskrit outline, it will be too tyrannical.
There are still a few months to go is the period of Huashan's sword, before that, what he has to do is to improve his strength as much as possible, now Huang Yaoshi and others have obtained the two true scriptures of nine yin and nine yang, and their martial arts are all making great progress, if he doesn't think of more ways to improve his strength, he won't be able to win the first place in the world when the time comes, then wouldn't he have to wait for more than twenty years?
Huang Rong didn't want to leave with Ling Muyun this time, because she knew that she might leave this world with Ling Muyun next year, so she cherished the little time she had left, so although she was extremely reluctant to part with Ling Muyun, she still wanted to stay on the island to accompany Huang Yaoshi.
However, Huang Yaoshi refused, he saw his daughter's affection for Ling Muyun in his eyes, he had only been separated from Ling Muyun for more than a month before, and he missed it like that, and if she was to be on the island again this time, he might not miss what he would look like.
Besides, Huang Yaoshi has just obtained the two true scriptures of nine yin and nine yang, and the period of the second Huashan sword discussion is approaching, and he is now thinking about practicing martial arts hard, in order to be able to win the first place in the second Huashan sword discussion and win the first place in the world of martial arts in one fell swoop, even if Huang Rong stays, he has no time to accompany his daughter.
Huang Rong saw that her father was dedicated to practicing martial arts, and knew that at this time, her father was full of the second Huashan sword, and he was indeed a little reluctant to part with Ling Muyun, so he no longer insisted, thinking that it was a big deal to ask Ling Muyun to stay for more time, so he left Peach Blossom Island with Ling Muyun, Hong Qigong, and Zhou Botong.
Lu Chengfeng, Lu Guanying and his son finally came to Peach Blossom Island once, but they didn't want to leave so easily, so they begged Huang Yaoshi to stay and serve Huang Yaoshi for a few more days. Huang Yaoshi has actually always been sorry for the anger of the other four disciples because of the two disciples Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng.
Now that Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng are dead, his hatred for Chen and Mei's two disciples has long since completely dissipated, among the four disciples who were expelled from Peach Blossom Island by his anger and punishment, Wu Mianfeng is dead, Qu Lingfeng and Feng Mofeng don't know the news, and the six major disciples of the year can only be seen now, Lu Chengfeng alone. Every time Huang Yaoshi thinks about it, his heart is also quite sentimental, how can he be willing to drive Lu Chengfeng and his son away?
Not only did they not let their father and son leave, but they carefully instructed Lu Chengfeng and Lu Guanying's martial arts in addition to practicing. Although Huang Yaoshi did not admit his mistakes, he was extremely sorry for the events of the year in his heart, so he wanted to make up for the mistakes of the year with practical actions.
In this way, Ling Muyun, Huang Rong, Hong Qigong, and the old urchin left Peach Blossom Island together, while Lu Chengfeng and Lu Guanying, father and son, stayed behind to accompany Huang Yaoshi. Everyone agreed to wait until the second Huashan sword discussion period, and then gather at the top of Huashan to participate in this martial arts event.
Ling Muyun and the other four left Peach Blossom Island by boat. Because Huang Rong was born on Peach Blossom Island and is most familiar with the sea routes in the nearby seas, Huang Rong is at the helm.
Huang Rong asked, "Qigong, where are you going when you go back to the land this time?" ”
Hong Qi said fairly: "This time, Lao Zhaohua is going to go to Lin'an, the capital to see, the closest rudder of the beggar gang to here is located in Lin'an City, Lao Zhaohua I will go there first to listen to the news, to see if there is anything in the gang." If it's okay. I always called the flower and I sneaked into the palace to taste the dishes of the big house, and nothing else, except for the mandarin duck five treasures stew, the old flower is still salivating when I think about it now! ”
Speaking of this, Hong Qigong closed his eyes and looked intoxicated, as if he was reminiscing about the taste of the mandarin duck five treasures stewed back then.
It was not the first time that Ling Muyun and Huang Rong had heard Hong Qigong mention this mandarin duck five treasures stew, and they couldn't help but be secretly curious, they didn't know what kind of delicacies this mandarin duck five treasures stew, and they actually made Hong Qigong, a gourmet, like this, and they still remembered it after so many years.
Especially Ling Muyun. He remembered it by knowing the original book well. In the original history, Hong Qigong was seriously injured and dying after being plotted by Ouyang Feng with a poisonous snake and then injured with a heavy hand. confided his wish to Huang Rong and others. I just want to eat another taste of mandarin duck five treasures stew before I die.
Of course, there is a reason for Hong Qigong's gluttony. But the taste of this mandarin duck five treasures stew must also be extremely extraordinary, otherwise it would not make Hong Qigong, who has tasted all the world's delicacies, still remember it when his life is not long, and it is regarded as the last wish of life.
Zhou Botong interjected again: "What kind of mandarin duck and five treasures stew is really so delicious?" Then I'll eat it too! ”
Huang Rong glanced at him and said, "What do you know if it's delicious or not?" ”
For the old disrespectful Zhou Botong. Huang Rong has always been not very polite.
Zhou Botong was not angry, and said with a smile: "Why don't I know? Brother and sister, the food you cook is delicious, the meals that your father Huang Lao sent to me, phew, it's not delicious at all, if it weren't for the old urchin, I wouldn't have eaten that broken thing, there is no taste at all, and the wine is as light as water. ”
Huang Rong heard Zhou Botong praise her for her delicious cooking, and she was a little happy in her heart, so she stopped holding him anymore, turned back to Hong Qigong and said: "It's still easy, when we get to Lin'an, I will go to the palace to steal a few big pots from him, let Qigong you have a good time, and everyone will taste it by the way, what is the taste of this mandarin duck five treasures stew, it can make Qigong you miss it so much." ”
To be honest, Huang Rong is still a little unconvinced, she is good at cooking, although she doesn't say it, in fact, she has always been quite proud of this. But although the food she cooked was also praised by Hong Qigong many times, she had never called Hong Qigong so unforgettable, doesn't this mean that the mysterious Mandarin Duck Five Treasures stewed made by the Imperial Chef of Ouchi is better than the dishes she made?
However, anyone who has achieved extremely high attainments in a certain aspect is usually extremely conceited about his skills, and when he hears that anyone has overpowered him, he will inevitably have a disobedience in his heart, not only martial arts, but also other aspects. Huang Rong prides herself on her extraordinary cooking skills, and when she learned that there were people who made the food more delicious than her, she was naturally unconvinced.
I heard Hong Qigong shake his head and smiled: "Huang girl, you don't know this, the mandarin duck five treasures are extremely troublesome to make, it seems that it still needs several big chefs to make it together, so the imperial chefs in the big interior are not easy to do." I hid in the palace for three months, and I only ate it twice, and the delicacy was gone. ”
Zhou Bodao: "I have an idea, let's go and find out all the chefs of the emperor's old son, and ask them to do it well, we can eat as much as we want." ”
Huang Rong clapped her hands and laughed: "The old naughty boy's idea is not bad. ”
Zhou Botong was very proud when he heard Huang Rong praise him. Hong Qigong shook his head and said: "No, to make this flavor of mandarin duck five treasures, the house, charcoal, and bowls in the kitchen are all specially made, as long as one piece does not match, the taste will inevitably be a little worse." Let's go to the palace and eat. ”
Everyone is a master in the world, and there is nothing to fear about the palace, Zhou Botong first clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, good, good, my old naughty boy has been to the palace once when he is so old, or Dali, I heard that the palace of the Great Song Kingdom is much bigger than the Dali Kingdom, and I must go to have a good time this time." ”
Huang Rong asked, "Old naughty boy, what are you doing in the palace of Dali?" Are you going to find Emperor Duan? Is the palace of Dali good? ”
Unexpectedly, when Huang Rong asked like this, Zhou Botong's face suddenly changed, his face was red like a monkey's buttocks, and he squirmed: "It's not fun, and it caused a big trouble, anyway, the old naughty boy will never go to Dali again in his life." ”
Ling Muyun smiled slightly, knowing that Zhou Botong was thinking of Aunt Ying. Aunt Ying was originally the concubine of Dali, and Zhou Botong went to the palace of Dali with his senior brother Wang Chongyang to visit Duan Zhixing, the Southern Emperor, which caused a bad relationship between him and Aunt Ying, and as a result, the concubine of Dali fell asleep. Isn't that a big trouble?
This is to meet Duan Zhixing, an emperor who is a little too enlightened, and if he is someone else, he has to fight because of this!
Huang Rong was very curious when she saw this, and asked again and again, but this matter was Zhou Botong's most private matter, and Zhou Botong rarely closed his mouth tightly and refused to say anything.
Huang Rong asked for a while, but seeing that she couldn't ask, she reluctantly gave up for the time being, and asked Ling Muyun instead, "Brother Yun." Let's follow the Seven Princes and them to the palace first, okay? I've grown so big. I've never been to the palace before. ”
Ling Muyun came out this time, originally wanted to go to Dali to find out the family of the Southern Emperor Yideng Master Tianzhu monk to help translate the Sanskrit general outline of the Nine Yin True Scripture, but after thinking about it, he was not so anxious, and a little delay for a few days was nothing. I saw that Huang Rong really wanted to go to the palace. He nodded and said, "Okay." Rong'er, then let's also follow the Seventh Duke and them to the palace to see and learn. ”
In the Luding World, Ling Muyun did not enter the palace. I even slept with the princess, but I don't know how the Song Court Palace in this Condor World is compared to the Qing Court Palace in the Luding World. Go in and have a look, and by the way, taste the mandarin duck five treasures stew that has made Hong Qigong miss for many years, which is not bad.
Since they were going to Lin'an, everyone did not return to the mainland according to the original route, but Huang Rong drove the boat all the way to the sea and landed in Hangzhou Bay. Because their group of old and young people, and they are called Huazi and old children, it is really a bit eye-catching, so they spent money to buy a mule cart in a town, let Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong take the car, and Ling Muyun and Huang Rong drove all the way to Lin'an.
After a day of crossing the Qiantang River, came to the outskirts of Lin'an, but saw the twilight and vastness, returning to the crows, it was impossible to enter the city before dark, and it was necessary to find a small town to rest, and looked at the river in the distance, a bend of flowing water, around the seventeen or eighteen families. Ling Muyun couldn't help but feel moved when he saw this scene, because he had been here at the beginning of the crossing, it was Niujia Village on the outskirts of Lin'an, and it was also the hometown of Guo Yang's family.
Huang Rong shouted: "This village is good, let's rest here." ”
Zhou Botong was stunned and said, "What's good?" Isn't it just a few houses, why don't I see anything good? ”
Huang Rong said: "Look, is this scenery like a picture? ”
Zhou Bodao: "What if it's like a picture? The pictures are also good and ugly, and if there is any scenery like the pictures drawn by the old urchin, I am afraid that it will not be much better. ”
Huang Rong couldn't help but laugh and said, "If God wants to create a scene, like a picture of an old naughty boy, I'm afraid even God doesn't have this copy." ”
Zhou Botong was very proud and said, "Isn't it? If you don't believe me, I'll draw a picture, and you'll tell God to make it. ”
Huang Rong said: "I naturally believe it." Since you say it's not good here, don't rest here, the three of us won't leave. ”
Zhou Bodao: "If the three of you don't leave, why should I go?" ”
Between the words, I arrived at the village, but I saw that the village was full of broken walls and ruined, and I saw a broken wine curtain picked out from the east end of the village, which seemed to be a hotel. When the three of them came to the front of the store, they saw two tables, and the tables were covered with a thick layer of dust.
After entering the house, Zhou Botong didn't care whether the table and chairs were clean or not, he sat down directly, and shouted loudly: "Hey, is there anyone, why don't you come out to say hello?" Someone wants to eat! ”
There was a sound of footsteps, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl came out of the inner hall, only to see that the girl was unkempt and disheveled, with a thorn hairpin in her hair, and she didn't speak, but just stared at a few people with a pair of big eyes. Seeing this scene, Ling Muyun couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, knowing that if he hadn't guessed wrong, this unkempt girl should be Qu Lingfeng's daughter Silly Aunt.
Huang Rong asked for wine and food, but the silly aunt just shook her head. Zhou Bo said angrily: "You don't have any wine or food here, what kind of shop do you open?" ”
The silly girl shook her head and said dumbly, "I don't know." ”
Zhou Botong sighed: "Alas, you are really a stupid girl. ”
The girl grinned and said, "Yes, yes, I'll call me Silly Aunt." ”
Seeing this scene, except for Ling Muyun, who knew this earlier, the other three also saw that there was something wrong with the stupid girl's brain, and it was obviously unrealistic to point to her to prepare meals for them. Huang Rong turned her head to Ling Muyun and said, "Brother Yun, I'll go to the inner hall to take a look." ”
Ling Muyun said, "I'll go with you." ”
At that moment, let Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong sit, and Ling Muyun and Huang Rong entered the inner hall to check. When the two of them walked into the inner hall and the kitchen to take a look, but when they saw dust and cobwebs everywhere, some cold rice in the pot, and a broken mat on the bed, the two couldn't help but feel desolate, especially Ling Muyun, who knew the inside story well, and it was quite unpleasant in their hearts.
It is said that Qu Lingfeng, the father of the silly aunt, is a disciple of Peach Blossom Island, and he can be regarded as the queen of the famous family in the rivers and lakes, but now he has ended up in such a field, living in ignorance, and I don't know how much suffering he has suffered over the years. And what made Ling Muyun feel most sorry was that he knew about the stupid aunt's situation a long time ago, but he didn't take it to heart and ignored it, making her suffer for several more years.
Huang Rong asked the silly girl who followed up, "You are the only one in your family?" ”
The silly girl smiled and nodded.
Huang Rong asked again, "What about your mother?" ”
"Dead!" The silly girl reached out and wiped her eyes as she spoke, pretending to be crying, but she didn't see much sadness, maybe she was used to it.
Huang Rong asked again: "What about your father?" ”
The silly girl shook her head and didn't know.
Huang Rong saw that her face and hands were covered with dirt, and her long nails were stuffed with black mud, and she didn't know that she hadn't washed her face and hands for several months, Huang Rong said in her heart: "Even if she cooks, she can't eat it." So he asked, "Is there any rice?" ”
The silly girl smiled and nodded, and took out a rice bowl, which was half a jar of brown rice.
At that moment, Huang Rong was washing rice and cooking, and asked Ling Muyun to go to the house in the west of the village to buy some chickens, ducks, fish and other things, so that he could take them back to cook. Ling Muyun went out to buy two fish and a chicken, and by the way, he inquired with the local residents, only to know that a few months ago, Guo Jing and the others had come back, but after looking at the old home, they left again.
After Ling Muyun came back, he helped Huang Rong to clean up the food, of course, his so-called help was actually to help. By the time the meal was done, it was already dark. Huang Rong moved the food to the table, lit the lamp, and went back to the kitchen to find the dishes and chopsticks. Immediately afterwards, I heard Huang Rong exclaim: "Brother Yun, come and take a look!" (To be continued......)
