Chapter 5 The Qinhuai Turmoil in Stone Town
It's a starless night in spring, and there's a cool breeze in the air.
On the flower boat of the Qinhuai River in Stone City, there is a brightly lit look. The reflection on the sparkling water makes people feel so unreal.
The Qinhuai River in the Western Jin Dynasty has gradually become prosperous. The laughter of men and women constantly echoed on the surface of the Qinhuai River. I don't know that countless dignitaries and dignitaries, literati and scholars are immersed in this Qinhuai scenery, and it is difficult to extricate themselves.
A drunken guest staggered out of the cabin on a flower boat, and then three disheveled girls jokingly chased after him, and surrounded the drunken guest, one of whom took the jug and forcibly poured it into the guest. The guest whimpered and moved his throat, and finally fell to the boat with a thud. Suddenly, several girls burst into laughter.
The Qinhuai River at night always makes people feel a rotten breath blowing in their faces.
On a flower boat named "Crescent Moon" on the Qinhuai River, two handsome sons came up at this time, one was heroic, and he was holding a Longquan sword in his hand. And the other son, who was shaking an iron fan in his hand, was as beautiful as a virgin, like a beautiful baby. If it weren't for his undulating Adam's apple at that time, I believe many people would think that this was a rich woman dressed as a man who came to this flower boat to mess around.
But even if everyone knows that this is a man, but now that the male style of the upper class is prevalent, this beautiful boy is also a strange commodity in the eyes of many men. So in addition to the girls of the flower boat looking at him intently, many males also looked at him with a little crazy eyes.
"Third brother," the boy with the sword said, "I, Sima Ting, have understood a philosophical saying of the ancients again today. It turned out that the two turned out to be Sima Yi and Sima Ting, two brothers. Come to think of it. Who else can there be such a beautiful man in the Great Jin Dynasty who is "alluring the country and the city" except for Sima Yi, the third prince of the Chu Palace? !
"Oh?" Sima Yi suddenly "smiled", and between this smile, the originally noisy flower boat suddenly became quiet. Everyone was overwhelmed by Ismaili's demeanor.
"Ahem!" Sima Ting covered his mouth and coughed pretendedly, "Third brother, the ancients had clouds, the reason why a man only loves beautiful women is because he has not met the beautiful man who makes his heart move!" ”
After saying that, he laughed and walked quickly through the crowd.
Sima Yi rolled his eyes when he heard this, and was about to follow when a maid carrying a teapot threw the teapot to the ground with a "bang". Immediately afterwards, the girls of the entire flower boat were boiling, and the warblers surrounded them.
"This son, you want me. I'm the gentle~! ”
"Childe! I'm much prettier than her, so you still want me, my name is Miaomiao! ”
"Childe! Come to my room, I won't charge money tonight! ”
"Childe, come with me! I'm willing to pay you ten taels of silver, and I promise to serve you comfortably! ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a burst of laughter.
Sima Yike was taken aback by this formation, and was so busy that he used his internal strength to force everyone a foot away, squeezed through the crowd, and fled.
Rushing into the room where Sima Ting was, Sima Yi was so busy closing the door. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately stretched out his iron fan, straightened up and shook his head at Sima Ting, and said, "I didn't expect the girl from Stone Town to be so enthusiastic!" If it weren't for your third brother and my profound martial arts, I wouldn't have been eaten alive by them! ”
Sima Ting looked at him with an embarrassed look, glanced at his mouth, and said with a disdainful expression: "Isn't it just that you have a good-looking face, you look at your virtue." ”
Sima Yi squinted at Sima Ting with dissatisfied eyes and said, "This handsome and chic was given by my father and queen mother, what can I do?" Old Seven? Are you jealous that your father and queen mother gave birth to me more beautiful than you! ”
Sima Ting said with a look of disdain: "I! Your woman-faced uncle is not uncommon, what the uncles pursue is masculine beauty! After a pause, he said, "You also value your face too much!" This time, the two of us came to Stone Town, and I wanted you to disguise yourself so that your overly shocking appearance would not cause trouble. But you just won't! No, along the way, the robbers are also counted. How many robbers have we beaten away?! ”
Sima Yi sat down and sighed pretendedly: "Third brother, how do I know that the current folk customs are open to the point where women want to rob their relatives and force them to marry!" ”
Sima Ting snorted again and said, "Third brother, I didn't say you!" Have you forgotten how Zilu died in the Spring and Autumn Period? The enemy's guns are in front of you, and you have to tie up the scattered turban before you meet it. What a fight you have with him! ”
Sima Yi shook his head with disdain, and then shook his head and said: "Don't compare me to that kind of idiot, he doesn't understand!" There is also a sense of loss in the untied hijab. You can't teach your children! Not teachable! ”
Sima Ting was completely defeated now. I was speechless for a long time.
Gradually, there was a cacophony outside the door, and there were several crashes against the door. It turned out that the two of them were talking, and the enthusiastic Qin Huai girl surrounded the room where the two of them were located.
Sima Yi exaggeratedly fell on his back on the table, and said sadly: "Old Seven, your third brother is in a catastrophe tonight!" ”
Suddenly, a majestic female voice came from outside the door, and the girls fell silent.
Immediately after hearing a few knocks on the door, the majestic female voice turned into an extremely flattering tone and entered through the door: "Two sons, I am the mother on this boat~ Please open the door, and my mother can arrange arrangements for the two sons." Two sons? On-oops! ”
As the mother spoke, the door suddenly opened, and the mother felt an irresistible suction force to suck her into the room, but she fell into the room with a scream, and came to a very indecent doggy position.
"Hey, I don't know which son is so clever!" Mom got up from the ground as she spoke, and straightened her somewhat messy bun. Glancing toward the door, he saw that the door had closed again without realizing it. I couldn't help but be amazed.
When he turned around and saw the two of them, his eyes were also shining. Now she understood why the girls were crazy today. Seeing Sima Yi's fairy appearance clearly, even her elderly head was incredibly dizzy, and the sycophants couldn't help but gush out like a tide: "The two sons are really graceful, the jade tree is in the wind, handsome and chic, and the aura is extraordinary!" Especially this son, he looks better than Pan An, and he is more Sai Xi Shi ......"
Sima Ting felt amused when he heard this, and said intentionally: "This mother, my third brother is a good man!" You say he's even more Sai Shih, aren't you scolding my third brother for being a girl? ”
Mom covered her mouth with a round fan and smiled, making her look still charming.
Childe laughed. I'm saying that this boy is a little more delicate than Na Shih Tzu, but I don't mean anything else. Mom, I've never seen such a handsome son! If you want to prove that the son is a gentleman, it is not easy, and the girls outside must be very happy. ”
The voices of several people speaking reached the ears of the girl outside through the door, and suddenly the pot exploded outside. The girls who had been quiet all shouted like crazy: "I am willing to verify whether the son is a good man!" "I do, too! I'd like to, too! "Let's verify it together?!" “……”
When Sima Yi heard this, his body shook uncontrollably.
Sima Ting shook his head helplessly, and threw the token of his Chu Wangfu on the table with a "bang". When my mother saw it, she immediately put it away and put it away (harmony, you know. In the future, it will be similar, please understand) smiled, picked up the token with a serious face, and looked at it carefully. I saw that the purple jade token was engraved with the three words of Chu Wangfu on the front. On the back is a thunderbolt character.
After my mother verified the falsification, she turned around and opened the door and yelled at the girls surrounded outside: "You sluts, don't let me get out of my mother!" The old lady has a lot of money to feed you, is it just for you to be lazy and slippery here?! Watch out for my big foot soles pumping you. Don't get out of here! As he spoke, he waved his hand and was about to hit a girl. The girls scattered in an instant and walked cleanly.
When the mother was gone, she looked out the door warily, and then closed the door and returned to the table. Now she didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, so she respectfully took the token back to Sima Ting with both hands, and said cautiously: "My subordinates see the two princes." I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince is coming, so I have offended a lot, and I ask His Royal Highness to forgive me. Forgiveness. ”
Sima Ting waved his hand and said, "Aunt Lu doesn't have to be like this. Isn't it true that he who doesn't know? Aunt Lu has presided over espionage reports for my palace in the south of the Yangtze River for decades, and her hard work is high! Father often praised Aunt Lu for her ability. ”
Aunt Lu said secretly in her heart: "My true identity is not visible, and it is strange that the prince will often talk about it." But he said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your reputation." The subordinates have received great grace from the prince and should be conscientious! ”
After a pause, he bent down and asked, "The two highnesses went down to Jiangnan in person, I don't know what to order?" ”
Sima Ting took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Aunt Lu sent back the news a few days ago that she found that the Demon Gate Governor and the Buddha Gate Hongren were entangled in Stone City. My father sent us down to help the governor get rid of the forbearance. ”
Aunt Lu is in charge of the intelligence collection of the palace in the south of the Yangtze River, and she knows that the relationship between the palace and the demon gate is complicated, and she has secretly had a lot of contact for more than ten years. pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, Hongren's participation in creation is already a miraculous skill. It's really difficult to deal with him. It needs to be carefully arranged and planned. ”
Sima Yi had already been impatient with listening to it on the side, and at this time he interjected: "No matter how high his martial arts are, he is also a person." If it is a person, it is necessary to drink water and eat. We can poison it! Aunt Lu, do you have any superb poisons in your collection? Take it out and light it up. After speaking, he looked at Aunt Lu with an expectant face.
Aunt Lu smiled bitterly in her heart and replied: "Your Highness, the depth of Hongren's skills, I'm afraid that it has already reached the point where all poisons are inviolable. Besides, there are only ** people here. ”
“**?” Sima Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately stretched out his hand and stretched out his hand to Aunt Lu: "Send me some as a collection, right?" ”
Aunt Lu was stunned for a moment. But something like this, as a mother on a flower boat, must have it with you. Then he smiled and took out a delicate small bottle from his arms and handed it to Sima Yi: "Your Highness, this medicine is a red liquid. In terms of appearance, taste and smell, it is very similar to Western Regions wines. Ordinary people can't tell the difference at all. The name is 'Jiao Meiren', which means that as long as a person takes a small drop, no matter how determined he is, he will be as difficult to control himself as a delicate and charming baby, and he must get Yin and Yang, otherwise he will bleed to death. ”
Sima Yi couldn't put it down, and after listening to Aunt Lu's introduction, he said excitedly: "So powerful? So powerful?! I'm afraid that this vial can't be less than a few hundred drops, right? ”
Aunt Lu nodded with a smile, turned her eyes to Sima Ting, and after thinking about it, she took out an identical small bottle from her arms and placed it in front of Sima Ting.
Sima Ting was stunned for a moment, and secretly laughed helplessly. But I thought that I didn't know when it might come in handy, so I laughed it off.
The three of them didn't discuss for a long time when they suddenly felt the boat shake violently. Sima Ting's center of gravity sank and stabilized his body, and when he looked up, he saw that Aunt Lu was uncertain. I was surprised that she was a woman, but her skills were good. But then he was relieved, as the intelligence leader of the palace in Jiangnan, his martial arts would not be weak.
Then there was another jolt, and the three of them looked at each other and rushed out of the room to find out.
As a result, I saw that on the river, two figures were fighting fiercely.
"Bang" was another loud bang, and the river once again centered on the two of them, setting off a big wave to rush around. Under the illumination of the moonlight, this scene looks particularly magnificent.
The flower boat leaning against the river shook violently again under the impact of the big waves. Seeing countless people rushing from the flower boat to the shore in a hurry, Sima Yi said to Sima Ting beside him with some worry: "Old Seven, let's go ashore too?" ”
Sima Ting stared at the two figures on the river, shook his head, and went up to the top of the boat as soon as he turned over. His feet were firmly attached to the roof of the ship like a mast, and his body floated with the sinking and sinking of the ship.
Ismail Yi rolled his eyes and flew ashore by himself.
On the sparkling river surface embellished by the moonlight, it was the two extreme masters of the congenital realm, Du Jue and Hong Ren, who were fighting in the world!
Hongnin's robe fluttered, and bursts of golden light from the Buddha statue overflowed all over his body, and a punch and a kick seemed to carry the power of the dragon elephant to attack Du Jue.
The Governor on the other side was not to be outdone, surrounded by a black mist that seemed to come from the Nine Demon Domain, and a pitch-black war knife was wielded vigorously.
The two sometimes fight in the air, and sometimes fight on the river. You come and go, see the moves. Every time they collided, a faintly visible circle of light spread out on the fists and kicks of the two people colliding.
Everyone on the river was fascinated and amazed. And the good deeds shouted loudly. As everyone knows, the aura exuded by the two of them is so strong, if it wasn't far enough from the shore, otherwise it wouldn't just feel a gust of wind rolling towards them. There must be deaths and injuries!
The two fought on the river for a long time, and the governor swept into the distance, and Hongren chased after him. One of the two fled, the other chased, and they fought again on the way.
Seeing that the two were drifting apart, Sima Ting glanced at Sima Yi on the shore and chased after him. Flying on the surface of the river, the body is unrestrained and elegant. Everyone on the shore was amazed when they saw it.
Sima Yi watched Sima Ting leave and wanted to chase him, but he was powerless! His own kung fu is good among his peers, but when he encounters this kind of master of the innate realm, he can only sigh.
Sighing lightly, Sima Yi muttered, "Old Seven, this important task will be handed over to you." The third brother gives you moral support! ”
Over there, Sima Ting tried his best to launch a rapid movement to chase the two, but he could only follow and not let the two get rid of them. You must know that Du Jue and Hong Ren are fighting all the way, so it is difficult for him to catch up with the footsteps of the two. At the moment, I admired the two of them.
Finally, after running for more than ten miles, Sima Ting caught up with the two in a deep mountain with no traces. Sima Ting quietly leaned over, only to see the two of them start to fight again.
The two battled each other in a thunderous battle, and in a moment hundreds of rounds of fighting. Sima Ting hid aside and watched carefully, feeling that he had benefited a lot.
The Governor roared, as if he was impatient with the endless battle. I saw him leap into the air, holding the sword in both hands and raising it high. The entire body was shrouded in black mist, and the knife roared under the full infusion of the Absolute True Yuan. Finally, after the governor was full of true yuan, he turned straight down, and the roc spread his wings and pounced on Hong Ren, and the war knife in his hand slashed at Hong Ren's head with a sharp sound of breaking the air.
Hong Ren watched Du Jue come to kill, but he didn't dodge or dodge, looked up and glared at Du Jue, and put his hands together in front of him. The golden light in his palm suddenly triumphed, and in the blink of an eye, a semicircular shield of golden light was propped up in front of him.
The figure of the Governor was still about three feet above the ground, and the big trees around the two of them had already fallen to both sides.
When the two collided hard, the world was in a trance. Even time has stood still! Immediately after, the dust covered the sky, and countless stumps and broken leaves flew out. Anger rages in all directions!
Sima Ting, who was hiding not far away to watch the battle, was also affected, and had to use his true qi to resist with all his might, but he still felt his whole body trembling uncontrollably. The evaluation of the martial arts of the two in my heart is even higher.
When the dust settled, everything was calm again. The two stood on the field and confronted each other.
I saw that the place where the two fought fiercely had been razed to the ground. Farther away, a large number of large trees hugged by two people were uprooted, horizontally and vertically. Not to mention the delicate flowers and plants.
Du Jue coughed a few times, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. But he reached out and touched the corner of his mouth to wipe the blood away. straightened his body, pointed at the red-faced Hongren on the opposite side and laughed: "Haha, old bald donkey!" Don't hold back! Be careful to suffocate the five internal organs. ”
Hongren snorted, and a blood stain spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Du Jue couldn't help laughing when he saw it, but unexpectedly it involved internal injuries, and a mouthful of blood wanted to gush out of his throat, but Du Jue swallowed it alive again.
"Master." Sima Ting, who was hiding in the shadows, appeared in the sight of the two, and looked at Du Jue with a hint of a playful smile: "The apprentice can be regarded as seeing you again." ”
Seeing Sima Ting's instinctive dodge, Du Jue didn't know if it was because of his weak heart and throwing his hands away. He said, "In vain...... Child. This one. ...... year Well? ”
Sima Ting's smile became even more obvious: "How was it back then?" ”
Du Jue was a little at a loss, and his mouth was even more unfavorable: "Back then, that ...... The master said goodbye. There's a reason for that! Finally said a complete sentence, and the governor breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh?" Sima Ting smiled evilly: "Did the master call you back to wash and cook?" ”
When the governor heard this, he immediately grabbed this life-saving straw and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes!" It's your teacher...... Hey? Halfway through speaking, I felt that something was wrong, I had never married in my life, where did Sima Ting come from? ! So he was furious and said: "Stinky boy, dare to tease Lao Tzu!" This roar came out, and all the discomfort disappeared at once.
Over there, Hongren listened to the conversation between the two clearly, and couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that the master of the gate who calls for wind and rain on the rivers and lakes is the one who takes care of housework, laundry and cooking at home!" ”
Du Jue was laughed at by Hongren, and he was angry and wanted to do it again, but Hongren smiled and took a step back and said, "The old man won't accept it." I didn't expect that Prince Ting, the youngest son of King Chu who was famous in the Great Jin Martial Arts, turned out to be a senior disciple of the master of the Governor's Gate! Hehe, you master and apprentice go together, Lao Wei is not an opponent in his current state. ”
The governor smiled "hehe" and said, "Old bald donkey, now you know that you are afraid, right?" For so many days, you have been sticking to Lao Tzu like that dog skin plaster, and today my apprentice is also here, and I was going to teach you a lesson together. However, Uncle is not as thick-skinned as Hansu. Come! Let's go one-on-one! Three hundred more rounds! ”
When a big war was about to break out, Sima Ting smiled and blocked the way between the two: "Why do you have to fight and kill? The two have been fighting for a long time, and they must have consumed a lot. Why don't you take advantage of the moonlight and taste a fine wine? I have some of the best wines from the Western Regions. As he spoke, he took out a delicate small bottle from his arms and shook it in front of the two, and continued with a strange smile: "Such a small bottle is worth ten thousand gold, and ordinary people will never see it in their lifetime." ”
The two fought fiercely in the middle of the night, and Zhenyuan consumed most of it. At this time, hearing Sima Ting's words, the two who didn't want to fight anymore took advantage of the situation and withdrew.
Especially Hongren, who is addicted to alcohol, can't wait to sweep out a clean open space, in fact, there is no need to clean it up, this piece has already become clean in the hands of Fang Cai.
Hong Ren sat down on the ground first, staring at the bottle in Sima Ting's hand with a pair of eyes, just like the depressed sweat who had been hungry for most of the month and suddenly saw the fragrant roast chicken.
Sima Ting and Du Jue also sat down on the ground.
Then Sima Ting pulled the cap of the bottle, only to smell the aroma of wine in the air. Now even Du Jue is a little greedy.
"It's really good wine!" Hong Ren smelled the aroma of the wine and said with an intoxicated face: "This wine is worthy of being a foreign thing in the Western Regions, I think the old man can be regarded as a good Western Regions wine, but it is definitely not as good as this!" With that, he reached out to get the wine.
Sima Ting retracted his hand and said, "Isn't the master afraid that I will poison the wine?" ”
Hong Ren snorted: "Lao Wei has already reached the realm of inviolability against all poisons!" I don't know what kind of poison can poison the old man, and the old man will admit it! Never get you in any trouble. ”
As soon as the words fell, Hongren's right hand pointed upward, and a bright red "liquor" in the small bottle flew out like a red snake and went straight to Hongren. Hongren looked at the bright red "liquor", his heart was overjoyed, he opened his mouth and inhaled it all, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully.
Sima Ting looked at the "wine" that was only half left in the bottle, and laughed wildly in his heart: "This old bald donkey actually drank half of the cup greedily?!" At least a delicate woman with the weight of hundreds of people! I just don't know if this delicate woman will work for him. ”
Over there, Hongren tasted the wine, and only felt that the wine was mellow and sweet......
It's just that after a while, the graceful figures of the girls on the flower boat on the Qinhuai River suddenly appeared in my mind, as well as the wonderful ** voices they made......
"Boom"! Zhenyuan was uncontrollably released from his body, making Hongren exude bursts of golden light. Hong Ren opened his eyes and glared at Sima Ting and asked, "What kind of wine is this?" ”
Sima Ting replied with a smile: "The name of this wine is 'Jiao Meiren'. ”
After speaking, he laughed twice and said, "However, it has another name." ”
Hongren's eyes had already shown a red light of talk, and his breathing began to be a little heavy, and he asked angrily, "What is it?!" ”
The corners of Sima Ting's mouth pulled up an arc, and he slowly spit out two words: "Spring!" Medicine! ”
When he heard this, his hand shook and he threw the small bottle he had just raised to drink.
Hong Ren was annoyed and embarrassed when he heard this, and slapped Sima Ting in front of him with one palm.
Sima Ting had already prepared, and with his hands in front of his chest, he floated backwards with his strength. Then he turned and walked in the direction of Stone Town.
Hongren also roared angrily and chased after him.
The governor saw it, and he was afraid that Sima Ting would lose, so he hurriedly followed.
The three of them began the chase again.
Hongren Zhenyuan was consumed too much in the fierce battle of Fang Cai, and he was also injured. At this time, he was even more upset by the "beautiful woman", and he couldn't catch up with Sima Ting for a while.
It wasn't until he arrived on the bank of the Qinhuai River that Hongren caught up with Sima Ting, and in a fit of rage, he attacked Sima Ting's back directly from behind.
Sima Ting heard the sharp sound of breaking the sky, and without thinking about it, he turned around and blocked it, but after all, he couldn't stop Hongren's angry blow, and a mouthful of blood spurted out and fell to the ground. There was a staggering footstep.
When Hong Ren was about to make another move, Du Jue suddenly blocked in front of him, pointed at his sword, and shouted angrily: "Old bald donkey, as a martial arts senior, he has no faith in his words!" You let the horse come over and see if you can still touch a single hair of my apprentice?! "This time the governor is really angry, his apprentice can teach him a lesson, but he doesn't allow others to touch a finger!
Hongren was drunk by him, and his mind, which was carried away by the power of medicine, cleared up a little. However, the faint and tactful voices of the girls on the flower boat on the Qinhuai River came into his ears, and it was undoubtedly a fatal sound for Hongren at this time! Countless beautiful scenes began to appear in his mind.
Hongren's eyes were red, and his face became a little hideous.
Du Jue held the sword tightly, staring at Hong Ren deadly, as long as the other party made a move, he would rush forward to divide your life and death.
Unexpectedly, after seeing Hongren looking up to the sky and roaring angrily, he wanted to run a few steps to the side, and jumped into the cold Qinhuai River.
After Hongnin left, everything became extraordinarily calm.
Du Jue slowly put away the knife and looked at Sima Ting, and asked calmly, "Are you okay?" ”
Sima Ting shook his head with a calm face, took out the healing medicine from his arms, and poured it into his mouth as if he didn't want money.
Du Jue shook his head for a while and sighed: "Hongren I is famous, I can't imagine that it will be planted in the hands of your kid today." After that, Hongren never had the face to follow me. ”
Sima Ting gradually squeezed out a smile and said, "As long as the goal is achieved, why bother with what means he has?" Then he smiled bitterly: "But the master of the transformation realm is really extraordinary, anyway, I am also considered an innate realm, but Hongren's palm really damaged my internal organs, and my internal breath was chaotic." I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything with people for a while. ”
Du Jue snorted, glanced at Sima Ting, turned around and walked into the distance. I only heard him say as he walked: "You can catch Hongnin's full force blow, you are proud enough." It is not considered to have lost the face of being a teacher. This time, the governor seemed to be worried about Sima Ting's injury, but it didn't disappear.
Sima Ting didn't answer, and after a few days of internal force running around his body, he finally calmed down his internal breath and followed.
"Master! There's something I want to ask! ”
"Speak up if you have something to say!"
"Master, why can the apprentice only practice demonic skills, but other exercises are difficult to absorb with internal force?"
"I don't know!"
“…… Then, why does the disciple always feel ...... in his heart when he cultivates demonic skills in the ten days after the Chinese New Year every year?"
"I don't know!"
"Hey, master, I haven't finished asking just now. How did you not know? There is another question, master, am I some kind of demon saint son? ”
"I don't know!"
"Master, why don't you know anything? Hey, master, go slowly, the apprentice is injured......"
……
