Chapter Seventy-Four: Great Gu Master!
I didn't know that Yu Dan and they were going to Yunnan, it was already morning when Zhang Mu and I arrived at the bottom of the mountain, and the two of us walked for more than an hour before we found a small town with Zhang Mu's broken navigation. Although I didn't take the thing that Zhao Qiankun told me about forbidding Maoshan disciples to go to Miaojiang in my heart. But he won't be stupid enough to carry a copper coin sword to swagger through the market.
You know, the puppet is not guilty of his guilt. My copper coin sword looks like an ornament hanging on the wall to ordinary people, but if it looks like a rare magic weapon to those who know it, it is impossible for me to hold a copper coin sword so swaggering.
So, I wrapped the sword around my waist and covered my upper body with my clothes, so that if I didn't look closely, I wouldn't see that I was still wrapped around my waist. Zhang Mu and I came to the town, and the two of us were already hungry with our chests on our backs, so the two of us didn't care whether we had money or not, so we just found a stall and sat down to eat something.
Zhang Mu pinched the only twenty-seven yuan left in his hand, looked at me and said, "Let's just buy two buns by ourselves." Alas, at this time of the year, it is really a dime to stump the hero. I looked at Zhang Mu and asked the boss about the price of their breakfast. Then he said to Zhang Mu: "Let's open our stomachs and eat to our heart's content!" It is estimated that after eating this meal, the two of us will go to the road to ask for food. ”
Zhang Mu thought about it for a while, so he simply ate it and said it. So the two of us asked for two bowls of wontons and two steamed buns, and sat in front of the breakfast shop to eat and drink. While we were eating, three young men came to the table next to us, and these three people asked for a bowl of noodles by themselves, which was a very normal thing.
But the dressing of these three people is really a little uncommon, and the three young people are wearing the unique costumes of the Miao people, but this is the Miao Autonomous County of Yunnan, and it is really normal to see a few Miao people here, so Zhang Mu and I just looked at it a few more times and didn't care.
When I was eating, I found that something seemed to be wrong, and I always felt that someone seemed to be staring at us, I secretly kicked Zhang Mu under the table with my foot, Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at me with a bun in his mouth and looked at me in confusion. I quietly gestured to the Hmong people at the table behind us.
Zhang Mu pretended to look at them casually, and then whispered to me: "The three people in the back seem to have been watching us." I nodded without a trace and then said, "Hurry up and eat, let's withdraw when you're done, I always have a bad feeling." Zhang Mu hummed for a moment, and then hurriedly stuffed two buns into his mouth. I quickly finished eating the things on the table, threw all the twenty-seven yuan I had with me to the boss, and then left the breakfast shop.
I had an unlit cigarette in my mouth and walked aimlessly through the street with Zhang Mu. After walking for about a kilometer, I suddenly turned around without a trace! I saw a Miao man following me behind me, one of the three people we met in the breakfast shop. The Miao and I stared at each other.
The two of us were stunned for a moment at the same time, and I didn't hesitate to turn around and pull Zhang Mu and start walking forward briskly, saying to Zhang Mu as I walked: "We are being followed, let's go, let's go." So the two of us said we were walking, but we were actually trotting all the way out of town.
But the two of us are not familiar with each other, how can we outrun the Miao people who were born and raised here! So as soon as he ran out of the town, he saw three people standing in front of the road, two young men and one old man. Two young people stood on either side of the old man, and the three of them looked at me and Zhang Mu coldly.
The two of us were startled and just wanted to turn around and run into the town, but we found that the young man who followed us had already followed. At this time, even a fool can see the urgency of the situation. Could it be that Miao Jiang's thing that did not allow Maoshan disciples to enter still worked after so many years?
I was stunned for a moment and was ready to take the preemptive action, walked two steps forward quickly, and said to the old man in front of me: "Hello old man, the two of us are here to travel, and then we met a thief, and as a result, the money, wallet and ID card on my body were stolen, I don't know how to go back, well, can you tell me where the police station here is, and the two of us are going to report the case." ”
The old man was directly stunned by my two words, and after being silent for a while, he looked me up and down, and then his eyes stopped at my waist, and he looked at me and said with a smile: "Young man, it is the first time I have seen such a shameless person as you!" Could it be that the current Maoshan disciples have all mixed to this extent, and they are embarrassed to tell me that they are here to travel with a copper coin sword pinned to their waists? ”
Get! I couldn't get overwhelmed, so I took two steps back, kept a safe distance from the old man, and then blushed a little embarrassedly. Zhang Mu, who was standing in the back, also looked at me with a look of contempt, as if to say that your fucking shameless kung fu is really amazing.
I saw that I couldn't fool the old man, so I had to say truthfully: "I am indeed a Mr. Yin and Yang, and I do have something to do with Maoshan, but I have never been to Maoshan since I was a child, and I don't know much about Maoshan and the older generation of Miaojiang, so it is not strange to say that those who don't know, you will raise your noble hand and let the two of us go!" ”
Of course, my words are true and false, saying that I have never been to Maoshan is a fart. To say that I don't know about their older generation is also nonsense, but a lot of things must not be said explicitly at such times. So if you can pretend to be stupid, you should continue to pretend to be stupid.
The old man looked at the two of us in surprise, and then touched the beard on his chin: "It stands to reason that the affairs of the older generation have passed for so many years, and many things should not involve you younger, but there are ancestral teachings that have been passed down, and all Maoshan disciples are forbidden to enter Miao Jiang." If you don't know it, you better go! As he spoke, the old man took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Mu and me.
This completely made me stupid again, when did Miao Jiang and Maoshan actually reach the level of emergency relief in the rivers and lakes. I was a little stupid and didn't take the money, but I didn't expect the old man to stuff the money into my hand: "Take it!" Remember, leave Miao Jiang immediately, otherwise, if we come in next time, we won't show mercy. ”
As soon as I saw the old man like this, I didn't say a word of thanks, and after taking the money, I waved my hand at Zhang Mu behind me, signaling him to follow me, and then the two of them prepared to leave here. When passing by the old man, the old man said slowly: "Three kilometers to the south, there is a long-distance bus station, from where there are cars leaving here, you two can do it yourself!" ”
I nodded and walked south with Zhang Mu. When the two of us left, the old man kept looking at the backs of the two of us, and the three young people next to him also stood there looking at us expressionlessly. One of the young men asked the old man puzzled, "Why don't you keep these two people?" With the strength of the Great Gu Master, it should be easy to keep them! "Yes, this old man who gave me 1,000 quick money is one of the three Great Gu Masters in Miao Jiang.
The Great Gu Master didn't speak, and there was no expression on his face, just motioning for the three young people to leave. The three young men left the old man's side with puzzled looks. The old man kept looking at the backs of me and Zhang Mu in the distance, and then silently took out a yellowed old photo from his pocket.
The photo shows a little boy who is only about three years old, and the little boy looks very cute. If I could see this picture, I might wonder why the kid in the photo looks so much like me. The old man touched the photo and finally muttered: "My niece only has such a son, and it's good that they have grown up so big." It's just that this shameless spirit is really a bit like Li Jiachun's bastard! ”
Yes, this old man, one of the three great Gu masters in Miao Jiang, is my mother's uncle! My grandfather and uncle. I just don't know. I made another phone call to Yu Dan and learned that they had already boarded the train to Yunnan, so I had to give up the idea of going back to Chongqing now.
Then I made an agreement with Yu Dan, we went directly to Kunming to meet, she brought my ID card, and I was ready to play in Yunnan together before going back. Otherwise, we would have come all this far. So Zhang Mu and I directly bought two buses to Kunming, got on the bus and went straight to Kunming.
In other words, I didn't take what the old man said to heart at all, thinking in my heart that since you Miao people were able to give me money to let me leave when they knew that I was a Mr. Yin and Yang, did it mean that the grievances between the two parties had passed. Besides, I don't need to use Taoism if it's a big deal, and then I can find a place to put the copper coin sword.
It's just that what I didn't expect is that the grievances between Maoshan and Miaojiang are far from being the same in the past few decades, but caused by the confrontation between the two sects for thousands of years, which is not something that time can solve at all. What happened later caught everyone by surprise and made this summer even colder than winter in my heart!
