Dragon and Tiger Hall in the Dragon and Tiger Hall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no wall in the dragon and tiger hall, all sides are empty, the statues of the green dragon and white tiger are placed on the side of the left and right, and in the middle of the hall, a huge bronze incense burner stands horizontally here, and behind the incense burner is not placed any statue of the god, stand and look at it, you can see the blue sky and white clouds behind the courtyard.
Xue Xiaoping strode up, took out three sandalwood sticks to the side and lit them, and then bowed respectfully to the incense burner.
There were only two people who followed Xue Xiaoping into the hall, Chen Shan and Rong Tieyi, when Xue Xiaoping got up again, he said, "I don't respect ghosts and gods, I only worship my parents, only worship heaven and earth." When you enter my mountain gate, you are bound to serve your life, not that you have to worry about food and clothing when you enter my iron hand, and someone will support you, but you have to hand over your life to my iron hand gate, can you understand?"
Rong Tieyi frowned slightly and nodded slightly.
Although Xue Xiaoping was approachable when he heard his name, his beard and appearance did not match his name at all, which really made Rong Tieyi feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Xue Xiaoping handed over three sandalwoods, and Rong Tieyi reached out to take them.
"What's your name?"
"Rong Tieyi. ”
Xue Xiaoping nodded, stood aside, looked at Rong Tieyi's eyes quite calmly, and said, "After kowtowing three heads, you are the person of my Iron Hand Gate, abiding by the three rules and six religions, do you know?"
Rong Tieyi nodded again.
"Knock it. ”
Rong Tieyi took two steps forward, knelt in front of the bronze incense burner, and kowtowed three times.
Xue Xiaoping, who had always had a solemn expression, looked much soothed after seeing this, and said with a smile, "Chen Shan, there have been a lot of affairs in the Dragon and Tiger Hall recently, you and Rong Tieyi will stay in the Dragon and Tiger Hall for the time being, and after these few days, you and Rong Tieyi will go back to the mountain together." ”
Chen Shan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Elder Xie Xue!"
Xue Xiaoping nodded lightly, looked at Rong Tieyi, who had already stood up and turned around, and said, "Although you don't know where to learn martial arts, my iron hand has always been not confined to this, you are still young, you can cultivate with peace of mind in the future, and you will have a better future if your skills are further advanced." ”
Rong Tieyi arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Elder Xue." ”
Xue Xiaoping nodded lightly, "Chen Shan, take him to your residence." ”
Chen Shan arched his hand and said, "Yes." ”
At first, when he entered the Dragon and Tiger Hall, Rong Tieyi's first impression was that this place was not big, but then he followed Chen Shan and bypassed a few courtyards before he realized that this Dragon and Tiger Hall was really not small, consisting of a total of fifty-six mansions, but because of the dense layout, it felt a little crowded visually, and there were two palaces in the Dragon and Tiger Hall.
The Dragon and Tiger Hall is a place where every new disciple must worship, and there is a hall at the back of the Dragon and Tiger Hall, which is used by the high-level officials in the gate to discuss matters in the city.
In the conversation with Chen Shan, Rong Tieyi also knew that there was actually a hall master in the Dragon and Tiger Hall, but the hall master was in the mountain gate outside the city, and he had the name of the hall master, but he never asked about the affairs of the Dragon and Tiger Hall, and then Xue Xiaoping was in charge of the Dragon and Tiger Hall alone.
There were more than 300 disciples in the Dragon and Tiger Hall, but Rong Tieyi had only seen a handful of them along the way.
Rong Tieyi followed Chen Shan into a small courtyard, a few slightly abrupt withered erections in the courtyard, a small stone table, and some stone benches that fell horizontally and vertically on the ground, the area was much smaller than the several courtyards he had passed before, and it was close to the edge of the Dragon and Tiger Hall, which was cleaner.
Rong Tieyi's face was a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Chen Shan smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly went to pick up a stone bench, he said, "I also just came to Longhu Hall not long ago, and I have been working outside with those seniors a few days ago, and I haven't taken care of it here, we are new here, and the treatment is not good, this is for sure, but you see that this house is a little smaller, but fortunately, it is clean, and I live alone, uh, hehe, now it is the two of us." ”
Chen Shan's appearance is quite ordinary, half a head taller than Rong Tieyi, but his smile seems kind, Rong Tieyi doesn't feel disgusted, and after talking a lot, he also feels that he is a person who can get along more.
The age difference between the two is six years, but there is no generation gap when they talk.
As a result, Rong Tieyi also knew some things about him and this Iron Hand Gate.
It turned out that Chen Shan was a poor scholar in Huaishan County, Liuli Prefecture, and he originally intended to enter Beijing to take the exam and make a name for himself, but he didn't expect to be a thief when he walked into Huayang City, and he begged all the way to Huayang City with nothing left.
Later, he met an elder of the Iron Hands Gate, and when he saw that he could write well, he asked him to follow him back to the mountain gate, and was responsible for taking care of the fields where the spiritual grass was planted in the back mountain, and became a subordinate who was not even a beginner disciple.
But it is also beneficial to be a subordinate under the top two sects in Huayang City, you can follow some seniors in the door to practice martial arts, and receive some monthly money every month, and your fame is considered invalid, but this is also a new way of life.
Chen Shan has persevered in this way, and after four years of reaching the six-grade realm, to say that his talent is actually much higher than Rong Tieyi.
After listening to Chen Shan's self-introduction, Rong Tieyi was a little sympathetic, and then asked, "Then your parents are still here?"
Chen Shan was gloomy, "It should still be there." ”
Rong Tieyi asked again, "You haven't thought about going back and seeing?"
Chen Shan said, "I've thought about it, the people in the township pooled together to give me money to enter Beijing, but even Liulizhou hasn't gone out yet, how can I have the face to go back, at least, wait for us to make a name for ourselves in this Huayang City." By the way, what about your parents? You're just coming out at such a young age, and your family isn't worried?"
Rong Tieyi was silent for a moment, distracted, "It should still be there." ”
Chen Shan smiled dumbly, and gently patted Rong Tieyi's shoulder, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, since we are all people from the Iron Hands Gate now, today you call me Brother Chen, then you are my buddy, while you have just started and have not arranged for you to do things, let's go out and have fun tonight." ”
Rong Tieyi was puzzled, "Where are you going?"
"Of course, it's the most lively water street in Huayang City!"
The four districts of Huayang City, southeast and northwest, are divided by two vertical and horizontal rivers in the city.
The water source of the river to the north of the city, the only one of the four gates that is not open to ordinary people, the north gate flows out, in the center of the city is divided into three flows, and the river surface of the city at the north gate is naturally much wider and deeper than the river in the other three directions.
And the busiest place during the day is the West District, which has the most vendors, and it is strange that there are many people and there are not many people.
And at night, it is the Beicheng Water Street, where ordinary people have to be afraid when walking during the day.
Water Street is located on both sides of the river between Beicheng District and Nancheng District, which is inaccessible during the day, and at night it is a prosperous scene.
Rong Tieyi came once, but that time it was raining heavily, and the people who were having fun had already dispersed, and he had never seen that kind of lively scene.
Rong Tieyi was stunned in the crowd of people, looking at the alley that he had recalled countless times in his mind, and the three black shadows that flashed past him.
The old man, whom he thought was invincible, fell here.
When Rong Tieyi was sent back to Huayang City at that time, he reported to the government, but the government shirked the past because it had been too long to check.
Today, the alleys have been completely blocked by vendors, and only a faint shadow can be seen.
At this moment, in another alley not far away, a little beggar with his hair standing up like fried hair walked out leisurely, and the people around him saw that they were all avoiding from afar, which showed how scary the smell of this guy was.
His face was crimson, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he hiccuped from time to time, as if he had drunk a lot of wine.
He muttered to himself, "Why did you come back again?" ”
Then he looked up and looked at the second floor of an inn opposite, only to see an old man and a young man sitting opposite each other, the old one seemed to feel that he had seen the sight of this beggar's head, and he also put his head over, the two eyes collided together, and the little beggar smiled and said, "Hehe, this old immortal is also here." ”
