Chapter 9: The Fragrance of Xinyang Pavilion
Sanjiu has been missing for three days, and the sorrow makes Zhai Biao's horse face even longer, and the sword that penetrates through Huang Xiaochun's heart behind Huang Xiaochun is stabbed accurately and ruthlessly, just like a stab in Zhai Biao's heart. The people who could be sent out were sent out, and they found out in the town that Sanjiu was taken away by a man wearing a big felt hat. "What the hell is this kid coming from? Is it a book thief? Is it Yao Zhongtian's man? The knife technique in this book is only average, Yao Zhongtian can't look down on it, is there any secret in it? Is it someone from Xinyang Pavilion? Xinyang Pavilion is dominated by women...... Could it be the Shandong Huang brothers, who are still thinking about me after so many years? He kept thinking about it, and finally made up his mind: "Since it is a robbery, he has not killed Yue'er with a knife, then he always has to exchange something, and I will wait for him to make a price." ”
"Report!" A gang member shouted in the hall, interrupting Zhai Biao's thoughts.
"What's the matter!"
"A Taoist asks to see!"
"Don't hurry up yet, please!" Zhai Biao's face was overjoyed, Huo De stood up, and secretly thought, "Could it be that the gods came to save his life?" ”
After a while, the ancient waterway people stepped into the hall, made a joke, and said, "The poor Daoist is the chief!" When Zhai Biao saw the ancient water people, his face was full of disappointment, and he reluctantly replied: "The Taoist is invited!" Don't know where the long came from and where to go? The ancient water road is humane: "The poor road comes up from the saint and goes to the immortal!" This was an disgusting sentence, but Zhai Biao listened to it but was very useful, and said, "Daoist, please sit down and speak." The ancient waterway people sat down grinningly.
Zhai Biao said: "I haven't consulted the Immortal Changdao yet." "Ancient waterway: "Poor road ancient water, travel the world, just to visit the immortals, to find some immortals, I heard that the Zhai gang master got the guidance of the immortals, and the martial arts were able to make great progress, so I envy it, I came to ask the Zhai gang leader, can you introduce me to the introduction." ”
Zhai Biao lifted a teapot, drank a cup of tea, and said, "Please use tea!" He raised his hand, and the teacup flew towards the ancient waterway people. This teacup is different from the three cups that shot Ye Feixiong that day, it came slowly, without strong wind, but it also rotated quickly, almost into a phantom, this is Zhai Biao's desire to try the ancient waterway people's hands, and he didn't want to hurt the monks by mistake, this is also thanks to the ancient waterway people are monks, otherwise Zhai Biao would not be so polite. The ancient waterway man shouted: "Oops, oops, this is to make me ugly!" With a flick of his sleeve, the teacup immediately stopped spinning, he took it gently, and continued: "Poor Dao martial arts are low, and he is definitely not the opponent of Zhai Gang Master." ”
Zhai Biao saw that he had some ways, at least he was not just a swagger and deceitful person, his face was much more pleasant, and he said: "The Taoist just said that the immortal fate is the fate, how can you force it?" The ancient waterway is humane: "Fate is a catastrophe, and a catastrophe is fate!" Today's fate, tomorrow's catastrophe, today's catastrophe, tomorrow's fate! Is the helper fateful or calamity today? Zhai Biao stared at the ancient water Taoist for a long time, and said, "Why did the Taoist come here?" "Gu Shui Dao said: "On the way to the poor road, I met a young man wearing a big felt hat and a child with a disabled left hand. Zhai Biao stood up and said, "Is that kid okay?" Gu Shuidao said: "That child is fine!" The helper is so excited, could it be that this kid is you? Zhai Biao rubbed his hands and said: "That's Xiao'er, who has been missing for many days, and it was this big felt hat that was kidnapped!" Gu Shuidao said: "Sure enough, it was Ling Lang, I listened to their conversation, but it was not kidnapped by the young man, it was a hall master of your gang who held the child hostage to him and never returned, and the young man seemed to have some prejudices with the gang leader, so he had to take the child away." Zhai Biao was suspicious and said, "Where are they?" ”
The ancient water dao man smiled and said: "Poor Dao intends to mediate and bring Ling Lang back safely." Zhai Biao said: "If this is the case, Zhai is grateful, what does the Taoist chief want to repay?" Gu Shuidao said: "I just ask Gang Master Zhai to introduce me to the immortals." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhai Biao was more than half suspicious that the ancient waterway people and the young man in the big felt hat were in a group, thought about it, and said, "Okay! The ancient waterway is humane: "A word is a certainty." Zhai Biao said: "As long as my son returns safely, I will live up to you." ”
The ancient water road people got up and said: "Go to the poor road, there will be news in five days." Don't follow me secretly, and don't send someone to follow me, Ling Lang was safe, but someone followed, and he made a big fuss, but put him in danger. After speaking, he came out of the knife grinding village and came to find Xiao Dongshan.
Besides, Xiao Dongshan hugged Sanjiu and asked for the near and far, galloped for more than 40 miles, arrived in another town, and invested in the store. Why don't you go back to your old town? He thought that the two members of the Iron Mountain Gang were beheaded by Xu Junping, leaving two headless corpses, if the local government reported to the official and found the shopkeeper who showed him the way, he couldn't get out of it, so it would be better to stay away.
Xiao Dongshan put Sanjiu to sleep on the bed, poured the medicinal herbs on the table, carefully divided the seven parts, and shouted: "Little two, little two!" Xiao Dongshan took out a piece of broken silver, rewarded Xiao Er, and said: "Take a copy of this medicine, fry three bowls a day, boil it and serve it three times, and when my little brother is well, there will be a reward!" Xiao Er thanked the reward and took the medicinal herbs to boil the medicine.
Sanjiu said: "Brother Shan, aren't you a stingy ghost, you just order food when you eat, why are you so generous this time, and reward Xiaoer with so much money?" Xiao Dongshan said: "It's not for you, a money-loser, don't give more rewards, this little two is instigated!" I will give you to your father, and I will have to ask your father for this money! Sanjiu sighed and said, "It's really disappointing me, and I'm talking stingy again!" Alas......"
On the second day, Sanjiu's fever subsided, but his body was still heavy, but he just had to sleep. By the third day, his condition had improved considerably. Xiao Dongshan is like a beast in a cage, where can he endure it! His ass is like a spinning top - pointed, he can't sit steadily on the chair, he wants to play with the knife, but the room is small, he can't use it, and if he wants to go to the yard to play, he will inevitably be dissuaded by the shopkeeper, so he has to lean on the bed and sigh, and when he looks back, he thinks about what the ancient water chief said, "If you don't study medicine, you can learn to kill", and said secretly: "Studying medicine can save people, and punishing evil is not also saving people?" It's just that I don't know anything about medical skills, and it's really inconvenient to walk the rivers and lakes. So he secretly had the heart to study medicine.
On the fourth day, Sanjiu was good, and when he got up in the morning, he was noisy and hungry, drank a big bowl of porridge, and waited until he had breakfast, and he ate a big bowl of rice without a single left, Xiao Dongshan was overjoyed when he saw this.
When it was time for dinner, Xiao Dongshan ordered a few dishes of good wine and food, Sanjiu got up, and the two brothers ate on the table. Sanjiu Liandao is delicious, and Xiao Dongshan is a good wine. Sanjiu said: "Brother, why are you like a monkey, jumping up and down all day long, walking around the house like this, and other people's houses are about to go bad!" As he spoke, he put down the chopsticks, learned from Xiao Dongshan's helpless appearance, walked twice, and finally said, "Alas! With a long sigh, he shook his head, like Xiao Dongshan.
Xiao Dongshan said: "It's not you who hurt the child!" A good man who misses your brother and is at ease, trapped in this cage by you. I can't dance with a sword for a few days, I will be suffocated! ”
Sanjiu said: "What's the good of dancing with a knife and a sword, with the courage of blood and blood, what is the benefit of winning a lucky victory!" Xiao Dongshan said: "What do children know, pretend to be adults!" Sanjiu was anxious and said, "What a pretending to be an adult!" Sir taught! 'If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will be good to the world', even if you practice martial arts and walk alone in the world, you don't have to be good alone, and you can't do anything like a poor bastard. My dad is old, there is no way, you, you are still young, it is better to turn back to the shore! ”
Xiao Dongshan listened to his adult tone, his face was serious, and he was a little heartbroken, secretly funny in his heart, and after laughing, what he said was not completely unreasonable. So he saluted Sanjiu and said, "Then ask Master Zhai, how to do good to the world?" ”
Sanjiu said: "You are so stupid, this is not simple!" As long as the palace test passes, the emperor gave him the Jinshi background, wouldn't it be possible to rule the country with the whole family? Xiao Dongshan said: "As long as you are from a Jinshi, don't be a Jinshi, this ambition is also a little smaller!" Sanjiu shook his head again and again: "It's not small, it's not small, it's enough!" The champion list is just a momentary fame. Throughout the ages, how many champions have there been in the prime ministers? Xiao Dongshan got along with him for a few days, and he was not surprised to see him talking like this. Xiao Dongshan said: "I have a younger brother, who is also a scholar, and also an aspiring person, when do I have to let you get to know him!" Sanjiu clapped his hands happily and said, "Great! ”
As he was talking, he heard a girl in the courtyard say, "Feed my horse, or the big-eared scraper will beat you!" Xiao Er said: "Don't worry, rest assured!" Inside please! Xiao Dongshan felt familiar, got up and went to the crack in the door to secretly look out, this girl was the daughter of the Central Plains hero, Miss Yao Zixin, she was alone, Yao Dexuan didn't know where she went. I saw that her body was slightly muddy, her hair was also a little messy, and there was an uneasy look on her face. Xiao Er led Yao Zixin to the first-class upper room opposite, opened the door and let him in. It turns out that this inn is a courtyard, the front is a restaurant, the courtyard is facing the third-class room, the left row is the second-class upper room, Xiao Dongshan lives in the innermost room on the left, the right row is the first-class upper room, and Yao Zixin enters the innermost one.
After a while, Xiao Er withdrew, and after a while, Xiao Er went in with a tray full of dishes, and then withdrew, and after a while, he brought a full plate of dishes into the tray.
Sanjiu was also peeking, and said at this time: "This sister is too good to eat, don't you marry, you are so stingy, won't you eat it and your flesh hurts!" Xiao Dongshan said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, this is the daughter of Yao Daxia, the hero of the Central Plains, and the family has gold and silver mountains." Sanjiu said: "So rich, then dare to be in love, you won't have to worry about marrying home for the rest of your life, do you want me to help you talk?" This sister is so beautiful. Xiao Dongshan sighed and said, "How can there be a child like you in the world!" Sanjiu said: "The dog bites Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people, next time you fancy which sister, I won't help you!" ”
At night, Sanjiu went to bed early, Xiao Dongshan thought about the situation when Yao Zixin entered the door, and faintly felt that it would not be stable tonight. He grabbed the knife and leaned back on the bed to close his eyes. As soon as I arrived at the second watch, I heard a gentle knock on the window. Xiao Dongshan thought to himself: "It's so early! I only heard a coquettish sound, Yao Zixin opened the window, and obviously chased out. Xiao Dongshan also gently opened the window and jumped out. He went up to the roof of the house, and by the moonlight, he saw two figures hurrying towards the small hill behind the shop. He also got off the roof and followed the two of them.
I saw that the person in front of me was extremely fast, Yao Zixin couldn't catch up, but the person slowed down, Yao Zixin looked at it and scolded: "Stinky woman!" Where to go! He sped up to catch up again, and the person in front of him ran fast again, and after a while, Yao Zixin fell down, and the man slowed down and waited.
Xiao Dongshan thought secretly: "This person is obviously leading this Miss Yao into the urn, this eldest lady is too brutal, isn't she afraid of being ambushed?" ”
Miss Yao was brute forced, she didn't care about anything, just chased, and after a while, she turned a small hill and came to a flat land, the man stopped and said, "Little slut, you are not small!" ”
Xiao Dongshan chased after him and lay on the side of the hillside, only then did he see that this person turned out to be the personal maid of Miss Yang who gave the horse.
Yao Zixin scolded: "Stinky mother-in-law, why can't you get along with Miss Ben all the way?" The servant woman said, "My daughter is as old as you, if she is as shameless as you, how can I still have a face!" I can't say it, I have to take care of it! When Yao Zixin heard this, he didn't know where to start for a while, and scolded: "Dead mother-in-law, don't rely on the old and sell the old, Miss Ben doesn't eat this set." ”
Xiao Dongshan saw that there didn't seem to be an ambush around, and this servant woman didn't look like she was going to kill people and set fires, so his heart was a little relieved.
The servant woman said, "Do you have a mother?" Yao Zixin said: "Hmph! My mother's 'butterfly on the sword' Qin Woman, who doesn't know who doesn't know! "The Central Plains hero Yao Zhongtian is powerful in the martial arts, is the number one person in the martial arts, her mother was quite famous before marrying his father, and then she never showed up again, very few people know in the martial arts, but this servant woman just knew, she was also surprised, and said: "It turned out to be the daughter of Yao Daxia, the granddaughter of the head of Huashan Qin, but it is disrespectful!" ”
Yao Zixin said: "Hmph! It's good to know, why don't you hurry up and compensate Miss Ben! The servant woman took a sip and said, "Bah! Little slut, I respect the chivalrous heart of your father and your grandfather, not afraid of your father and grandfather! Little slut, you are really good, you are not afraid of tarnishing your father's good reputation! I'm really ashamed of your mother, I want to give birth to a daughter like you, I'm already angry! ”
Yao Zixin was furious, he couldn't bear it anymore, and a sword stabbed at the servant's throat, and when the servant woman retreated and dodged, she had pierced two Emei on her fingers and said, "Okay! I'll see how your family martial arts are! Yao Zixin didn't say anything, and used a set of Huashan swordsmanship like splashing water, and the servant woman spun up and down, dissolving them one by one.
Xiao Dongshan saw that the servant woman did not have the long knife on her body at this time, and immediately understood that the long knife was the weapon of her young lady, and she was a person who carried a knife. Looking at Yao Zixin's Huashan swordsmanship again, Xiao Dongshan couldn't help but admire, and said in his heart: "Huashan swordsmanship is really the martial arts of the Damen faction, extraordinary, but unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to worship the Damen faction, this set of swordsmanship still has many mysteries, to ponder carefully, Miss Yao makes it like this, it looks good, but the power is not very exerted, if I practice for three months...... Maybe it only takes a month...... can be twice as powerful as this eldest lady...... This servant woman is unfathomable, she fought for a long time, only attacked three moves, and the others were deliberately conceded, and these three moves were still used separately to turn the situation back, if these three moves were used together, Miss Yao's sword would have landed...... Emei stabbing this kind of partial weapon turned out to be like this, teasing, stabbing, hanging, turning, grid, the echo of both hands, wonderful......"
I only heard the servant woman sneering while feeding the moves: "Yao Daxia is known as invincible with sticks, and he has not met an opponent for more than ten years, and the head of Qin has been powerful in martial arts for more than forty years, but he has taught you such an unsuccessful slut!" The martial arts you have learned are like the sugar cane that has been chewed by someone, only scum! When it came to the word "scum", her Emei thorn hit Yao Zixin's right hand, Yao Zixin couldn't hold it, the long sword fell to the ground with a clatter, and the servant woman picked up the sachet tied to Yao Zixin's waist. The servant woman scolded, "You are not worthy of wearing the incense of my Xinyang Pavilion!" ”
Xiao Dongshan was born in the family of the eunuch, and naturally knew some sons, who liked to mix fat and powder, and said that the incense of this Xinyang Pavilion was the first incense in the world, and the price was expensive, and only the relatives of the inner courtyard of the palace and the princes and ministers used it. Unexpectedly, this servant woman was actually a person from Xinyang Pavilion, that is to say, the beautiful woman who gave the horse was also a person from Xinyang Pavilion.
Yao Zixin said: "Don't ...... My sachets...... Give it back...... What about the fragrance of Xinyang Pavilion! If I can wear it in the inner courtyard of the palace, I can't wear it? ”
The servant woman put away the sachet and sneered: "The incense of Xinyang Pavilion is naturally not only worn in the inner courtyard of the palace, but also by village women in the countryside as long as they can afford it!" It's just this sachet, not to mention that you can't wear it, even the queen can't wear it! ”
Yao Zixin picked up the sword, stabbed it again, and only said, "Give it back to me!" The servant woman stabbed it open with Emei and said, "What a slut who doesn't know anything, I won't give you some color to see, and the old lady is the same as the people around you, she wants to spoil you everywhere!" When Yao Zixin stabbed again, the two Emei thorns crossed the sword, only twisted, and took Yao Zixin's long sword. The servant woman handed over the two Emei thorns to her left hand, flashed forward, and touched Yao Zixin's face with her right hand, only to see that Yao Zixin's pink and fair face instantly darkened a large piece.
Yao Zixin only felt a cold on his face, and was shocked, and said, "What is it?" The servant woman said: "My Xinyang Pavilion is not only about making incense, but also about making poison!" Seven days later, you'll understand when your face is rotten. However, anyway, if you look so ugly, it doesn't matter if your face is rotten or not! Xiao Dongshan said secretly: "This woman has good means, not like Miss Yang's style." This Miss Yao's appearance is much worse than your young lady, but it is also fresh and beautiful, where is it ugly! Yao Zixin was really shocked when he heard this, and said: "I have no grudge against you, why did you poison me!" "The vocal cords are crying, and they are about to shed tears. The servant woman said: "It is not difficult to save your face, stay away from the owner of this sachet in the future, maybe the sky will be pitiful, my poison has failed, my family is autocratic incense after all, the poison is still being debugged, and it is very difficult to say." Xiao Dongshan said secretly: "This mother-in-law is full of nonsense, most of them are to scare Miss Yao, but Miss Yao must not dare to believe it very much...... The owner of this sachet...... Who are you talking about? …… How could this sachet be on Miss Yao? "I couldn't figure it out for a while.
The servant threw the sword she had snatched to the ground, sneered, and walked away quickly. Yao Zixin stayed where he was, didn't move for a long time, and it took a long time to stomp his feet, grit his teeth and pick up the long sword, and walked back. Xiao Dongshan followed behind and secretly returned to the inn.
Xiao Dongshan went back to the room, saw that Sanjiu was sleeping soundly, and also went to bed, only to hear a faint whimpering sound in the distance, which made Xiao Dongshan feel pity in his heart.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Yao Zixin led the horse away with a sad face.
After a while, Xiao Er brought the medicinal soup again, but Sanjiu was willing to drink it, and said: "Brother thief, just spare me, I'm all cured, what else to drink!" This medicine is hard to drink! Xiao Dongshan had no choice but to move with affection, and Xiao Zhizhi said for a long time, and finally shouted and beat again, and promised to buy candy to eat, and finally let Sanjiu drink the medicine. Xiao Dongshan was irritable, and finally said, "Okay! I'll hit the road tomorrow and send you back! ”
After dinner, the two of them were staring at each other, bored, and suddenly, the shopkeeper led a person into the courtyard and said, "This master is in the innermost!" Xiao Dongshan hurriedly glanced out, only to see the ancient waterway people striding over and knocking on the door, shouting: "Xiao Dongshan! Xiao Dongshan, is your little brother's illness better? ”
Xiao Dongshan hurriedly opened the door and said, "Dao Chief, I am grateful!" My little brother's illness is cured! The chief of the road also came to visit in person! The ancient water Taoist swaggered into the door, and Sanjiu came up and saluted, saying, "Uncle Taoist, thanks to you for treating me!" The ancient waterway man touched Sanjiu's head in response.
Xiao Dongshan saw the ancient waterway people come in, twisted and pinched, even his face was half red, the ancient waterway people saw his strange appearance, and couldn't help but look at him several times, Xiao Dongshan suddenly pounced, knelt on the ground, the ancient waterway people were startled, and said: "What are you doing!" Xiao Dongshan said: "Please teach me medical skills, I want to learn sincerely!" The ancient waterway man sat down on the bench and said, "You are still sincere!" Xiao Dongshan knelt forward and said, "Very sincere!" The ancient water Taoist looked at his face and said, "The face is okay...... Well, you don't know whether my medical skills are high or low, so you have to learn them? What if I just happen to see a minor ailment? Xiao Dongshan said: "That's also good!" No matter how high or low the medical skills are, it is to treat the sick and save people according to their ability. ”
This sentence won the hearts of the people of the ancient waterway, but his face was not revealed, and he said: "Okay, I will accept you as an apprentice." Xiao Dongshan was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted: "Master is worshiped by the apprentice!" "Knock knock knock three times. Gu Shui Dao said: "Good apprentice, get up!" He took out a book from the jacket on his back, handed it to Xiao Dongshan and said, "Apprentice, the master sent you this book as an apprenticeship, this book was written by the master himself, you can put it away!" By the way, it also reassures you that being a teacher is not only a little bit of medical skills! Xiao Dongshan smiled and said, "Yes!" Be! I took the book and looked at it, the cover was written "Yi Jian Fang", and when I opened it, it was all small letters, and the pen was vigorous. Xiao Dongshan knew that this was a handwritten book from the ancient waterway, and this gift was not trivial, so he knelt down and kowtowed three times, and then put the book away. When the people of the ancient waterway saw him polite, they also liked it very much.
