Chapter 2: The Villa of Jerod

Wang Ji closed the door, stripped off the only tattered pants left on his body, and jumped into the water. The warm water caressed his body, making Wang Ji can't help but make a comfortable voice.

The non-stop fighting in the Hokage world made Wang Ji feel deeply tired, and at this time, he soaked in the hot water, and the fatigue of the past few days was swept away.

After taking a bath for a while, the servant brought him a change of clothes, and Wang Jian opened it to see that it was a woolen leather coat. Wang Ji changed his clothes and walked out of the room.

As soon as he went out, a servant stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, the master and the young master have prepared a banquet in the flower hall, and I have come to ask the little one to invite the prince over." ”

Wang Ji said: "Oh, please lead the way." ”

The servant said, "Lord is here, please." ”

The servant led the king through a long corridor, and through two halls, to a hall of flowers. At this time, it is the harsh winter season, the Kunlun area has already been extremely cold, but the flower hall is warm like spring, but there is no charcoal fire anywhere, but the pavilion is brilliantly furnished, the gold bricks are paved, and the brocade is hung in the tent.

In the middle of the flower hall is a large round table with food and drinks. Li Qiu and Niu Hongyi had already sat down at the table in advance, but Ye Luxin was nowhere to be seen.

"It's been early for the two of you to come, hasn't the prince of Yelu come yet?" Wang Wei greeted casually and came to the table and sat down.

Li Qiu snorted and turned his head, obviously still a little indignant about what had happened before. However, Niu Hongyi responded: "We and Brother Wang are just front and back, just sit down here, Brother Wang, you will enter the door, Yelu Gongzi has not appeared since he entered the village." ”

As he was talking, he heard a hearty laugh from outside the door, and then two people walked in the door. One of them was Jerodsin, and the other was a middle-aged man with a good face.

Jeremiah introduced to the crowd, "Three, this is my father. Then he introduced to his father: "Dad, these two are the two heroes of the beggar gang, Li Qiu and Niu Hongyi. ”

Li Qiu and Niu Hongyi stood up and saluted: "The beggar helped Li Qiu (Niu Hongyi) to see the owner of Yelu Village. ”

"Haha, the two heroes don't have to be polite." The owner of Yelu Zhuang laughed and said, "The beggar gang is the largest gang in the world, and its reputation is far and wide, and the brothers in the gang are all chivalrous and courageous, and they have been admired for a long time. It's a blessing to see two heroes today, it's a blessing! ”

Hearing the owner of Yelu Zhuang say this, Li Qiu and Niu Hongyi smiled with their eyebrows and red faces.

"Where, where. It is an honor for the two of us to meet the owner of Yelu Village today. Li Qiu saw that the owner of Yelu Zhuang spoke politely, and hurriedly replied with a few words.

"Haha." The owner of Yelu Zhuang laughed twice, "The two of you sit happily." ”

Several people sat down as guests of honor.

The owner of Yelu Zhuang said: "In the land of mountains and wilderness, except for some mountain treasures, there are no other good things. ”

Li Qiu hurriedly said: "Lord Yeluzhuang is serious. Those of us who are called Huazi eat all hundred family meals, and some leftovers are enough to be cold on weekdays. ”

The owner of Yelu Zhuang smiled again: "Haha, it's good to be satisfied, it's good to be satisfied." ”

At this time, Wang Jian suddenly interjected from the side: "I heard that the beggar gang is divided into two factions: clean clothes and dirty clothes, and the clean clothes faction is originally a hero on the rivers and lakes, or admires the chivalrous behavior of the beggar gang, or befriends the disciples in the gang and joins the beggar gang, but in fact, they are not really beggars." In addition to wearing patched beggar's clothes to show his identity, his diet and daily life are no different from ordinary people. On the other hand, the Dirty Clothes faction really made a living by begging and strictly observed the precepts, such as not using money to buy money, not eating at the same table with outsiders, and so on. Even if you have good food and good food on weekdays, you have to mash it before you are willing to eat it. Seeing that the two of us and I were not hesitant to enter the banquet, I think the two of them must be the clean-clothed faction, right? ”

Listening to Wang Ji's words, Li Qiu and Niu Hongyi both froze. It turned out that although the two of them did not strictly abide by the precepts, they were actually dirty clothes. The beggar gang at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was no longer the number one gang in the world in the Song and Song dynasties. Since Hong Qigong, Huang Rong and others, several gang leaders of the beggar gang have been mediocre and inactive, not only the town gang has lost a lot of the "Eighteen Palms of Descending Dragons" and "Dog Stick Method", but even the spirit of inheritance has also been lost.

You must know that the beggars in the world, eight or nine times out of ten, have joined the beggar gang, these called Huazi have no fixed place to live, no proper livelihood, although pitiful, but there are many of them who are traitors and criminals. When Hong Qigong, Huang Rong, Lu Youjiao, etc. were the helpers, the gang rules were strict, the rewards and punishments were clear, and the gangs were strictly restrained, and they did not dare to do anything wrong.

However, after the death of these capable gang leaders, the successor gang leaders were not able to suppress the gangs, and the fighting between the two factions of clean clothes and dirty clothes was fierce, and the elders and helmsmen of the gang no longer punished them impartially according to the rights and wrongs when they encountered their subordinates violating the gang rules, but dealt with them according to their factions.

It's his own faction, and it's obviously not doing it right, and he also covers it up in every possible way, turning big things into small things and small things. It's not his own faction, it's obviously not a big problem, but he has to stir up three points unreasonably, pull around, make something out of nothing, and punish him heavily.

After a long time, the gang rules were finally relaxed, and the number of disciples who were evildoers increased day by day, so that a good beggar gang was reduced to a place to hide filth and dirt.

Although Li Qiu and Niu Hongyi belong to the clear stream in the beggar gang, they probably do not violate the way of chivalry on weekdays, and they have not done anything evil. However, in the environment where the overall atmosphere of the beggars has deteriorated, it is difficult to strictly observe the precepts. On weekdays, I have the opportunity to mix delicious food and drink, and I will never let it go. If you have money, you will never throw it away. After all, human nature is to be indulgent and dislike hard work, from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift. can eat delicious food and live in a good house, most normal people don't have to eat rotten vegetables and live in a dilapidated house. At this time, when they heard Wang Ji talk about the precepts of the beggar gang, the two were not only a little embarrassed.

Jerexin was still young and didn't understand what was going on. The owner of Yelu Village is nearly half a hundred years old, proficient in human affairs, seeing that the faces of the two are not right, after a little pondering, he guessed the probability, and hurriedly said: "Haha, I heard that Xin'er said that he had fought with two heroes against the demon sect demons, didn't he?" Since they have killed enemies together, they are friends of the same path, and they cannot be regarded as outsiders. I also hit it off with the two of them, and I don't treat them as outsiders. Since you are not an outsider, it doesn't matter if you eat at the same table. The two of you don't have to be restrained with me, just like when you are with the brothers in the gang on weekdays. Could it be that the two of you can't treat me as an outsider? ”

With the steps given by the owner of Yelu Village, Li Qiu and Niu Hongyi's faces eased, and they hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" "Lift a spoon and eat.

The owner of Yelu Zhuang nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at Wang Ji and said, "This little friend is Wang Ji's little brother, right?" ”

Wang Yu nodded yes.

The owner of Yelu Zhuang said: "I heard Xin'er say that Xiaoyou was met by chance on the way back to the village. But I don't know where your fairy town is, little friend? What is the so-called thing about coming to Kunlun Mountain? If there is anything you need help with, just ask. ”

After the owner of Yelu Zhuang finished asking, not only him, but even Yeluxin, Li Qiu and Niu Hongyi put down their chopsticks and looked at him with blazing eyes.

As soon as Wang Ji looked at the expressions of the people, he knew that if he didn't give them a definite answer, he was afraid that it would be difficult to be good today. Although Wang Wei is not afraid, he is always in trouble. Although Wang Ji is a killer and now a killer, he is not a murderer. When you are a killer, you kill people to get paid, and now you kill people to increase your strength. Killing people without benefits, Wang Ji generally doesn't do it. With Wang Ji's current strength, he didn't think that killing the four Yelu Zhuang owners would increase his strength. What's more, Wang Ji still wanted to inquire about some information from these four people. Therefore, it is better to avoid troubles if they can be avoided.

So he rolled his eyes and said, "I'm from overseas." ”

"Overseas?" The four owners of Yelu Zhuang all looked surprised.

"Not bad." Wang Yu nodded and said, "The ancestor is a remnant of the late Song Dynasty, because the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty, the ancestor did not want to be a foreign people, so he led the whole family to move overseas, and it has been seventy or eighty years now. ”

"Oh." The owner of Yelu Zhuang suddenly said, "I see." ”

When the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty, many families did move overseas to avoid disasters, so the owner of Yelu Zhuang and others did not doubt Wang Ji's words too much.

"What is the purpose of the little friend's return to Middle-earth? Why did you come to Kunlun Mountain? Lord Yelu asked again.

"To tell you the truth, although my family lives overseas, they have always cherished their homeland and hoped that one day they will be able to return to their roots. For the first time, I heard a maritime merchant who traveled between the Central Plains and Persia say that the Mongols were brutal and unkind, and the rebels had risen everywhere in the Central Plains in recent years, and the rule of the Yuan Court had been a candle in the wind. Therefore, the family sent me to come back first to inquire about the situation, if the Yuan Court is really destroyed, it will be in an instant, then we must prepare for the return to the Central Plains in advance. ”

"I see."

"As for why I came to Kunlun, it is because two of my ancestors' best friends came to settle in Kunlun Mountain before they fled overseas. Now that he has returned to Middle-earth, he naturally wants to pay a visit to these two world friends. ”

"Oh? But I don't know who the two old friends of the ancestors are, my family has moved to the Kunlun Mountains for more than a hundred years, and there are any well-known people in the left, there is no one my family doesn't know. Xiaoyou may wish to say it and let the contemptible people help you to refer to it in detail. ”

"The two friends of the ancestors, one surnamed Wu and the other surnamed Zhu, respectively built a Zhuangzi in this Kunlun Mountain, which is collectively called Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang."

"Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang, Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang ......"

The owner of Yelu Village whispered a few words, frowned, and said, "Little friend, my family has moved to Kunlun for more than a hundred years. In the past hundred years, I have never heard of any Zhuwu Lianzhuang in Kunlun Mountain. Moreover, among the well-known people within 100 miles of Kunlun Mountain, there is no one surnamed Zhu or Wu. Xiaoyou, do you have any other clues? ”

"Didn't you?"

Wang Wei frowned slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "How could it not be?" Could it be ......?"

He had some conjectures in his heart, but it was inconvenient to tell the owner of Yelu Zhuang and others, so he said: "I went out in a hurry this time, and I came to Kunlun Mountain on a temporary basis. As for the two old friends of the ancestors, I have only heard my father mention it a little before, and I don't know much about them below, and there are no other clues. Since there is none, then this matter will be put aside for the time being, and it will not be too late for me to look for it after I have asked my father in detail in the future. ”

The owner of Yelu Zhuang said: "Then wait for Xiaoyou to know more details, and then ask me." We patronized and talked, and the food was going to be cold. Come, come, come, eat, eat, eat. ”

As the lord of Yelu spoke, he began to beckon everyone to feast. Everyone immediately raised their chopsticks to eat and drink.
