Chapter 24: The Feast
Yunya Mountain, Dayan Temple
Wang Cunye stood up, holding a magic sword, stepping on Yu steps, only to see that there was a faint white light on the sword body, and after a while, he shook the sword body and dispersed the sword style, standing still in place, frowning slightly.
The true solution of this sword, there are three parts of Yi Sword Decision, Sword Introduction, and Imperial Sword Rule, and one-third of the content read in the Tibetan Scripture Building, accounting for sixty percent of the first volume of Yi Sword Decision, although it is incomplete, but it also gets the essence.
Yi swordsmanship is practiced, holding Qingfeng, within ten steps, draw the sword and kill, ordinary people have no reason to be spared, but unfortunately, there are only three deduction and cultivation, which can only be regarded as a small success.
Wang Cunye groaned, he had already calculated the gains and losses, but when he stepped out of the door, he would inevitably suffer from gains and losses.
Wang Cunye stroked the sword body with his hand, and there was a cold touch on his hand, and his mind couldn't help but calm down.
There are also two said, that is, the Hebo Festival, Hebo marries a wife every ten years, and the marriage must be a lady of your family, and send the demon soldiers in the river to receive the gift, Wei Hou banquet heroes and heroes, besiege and kill the demon soldiers, rescue the miss, and order: Hebo Huangyin, who can kill all the demon soldiers on the island, rescue the young lady, and the one who rescues the young lady, will be killed.
In other words, in a society with unprecedented information expansion, there are always different knowledge, and there are always all kinds of conjectures, Wang Cunye thought that this Fa meeting was really full of doubts, and he had a faint idea in his heart.
Several sessions have been peaceful, and Hebo's incense is still thriving, and it is not necessarily forbidden by Wei Hou, could it be that Wei Hou and Hebo are just singing a play together?
Thinking of this, my heart is awe-inspiring.
If this is the case, this trip is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will never recover, but this hurdle must really be overcome.
Wang Cunye felt the true element running in his body, and couldn't help but strengthen his belief, stood up, put the magic sword into the box, and carried it behind his back, and walked slowly down the mountain.
I told Xie Xiang that I would not quit today, so as not to increase my sadness.
Descend from the mountain, pass a section of plank road, this does not set up a guardrail, within three steps is a hundred zhang cliff, the deep valley is secluded, it is daunting.
Wang Cunye had already taken a clear view of the prospects, walked easily and went straight out of the plank road, all the way down the mountain, and then hired a boat on the river to go up, which is not much to say.
The city wall of Fucheng is majestic and heavy, because of the age, the edges and corners of the city wall are somewhat broken, but it adds a thickness, the Yishui River surrounds, goes along the east of the city, it is not visible in the distance, the water and the sky are one, and they are not divided from each other.
Before the city gate was closed, to the west gate of the city, at this time the drizzle fell in the wind, hit the tall west gate, two lamps were hung in front of the city gate, the figures under the lamps were one after another, and the pedestrians were sparse.
Wang Cunye ignored it and walked into the city, ignoring the notice of "Five Texts into the City".
There were a few city guards at the door, and when they saw him wearing a Taoist robe and went straight in, they couldn't help but be stunned, and one of them looked at the Wu Commander.
Seeing this, he took out an image and compared it, so he smiled gloomily and said, "It's him, don't stop it." ”
With that, he turned around and walked towards a restaurant.
This is a medium-sized hotel, the name is "Cairong", this store is a two-story building, as soon as the chief enters, he can see people coming in and out, and it is obvious that the business is good.
As soon as the Wu Chang raised his feet, he went up to the second floor, which was a private room isolated by screens, and Wu Chang arrived at the door of a screen, did not go up directly, and shouted: "Young Master Zhang!"
There was silence inside, and a voice said, "Come in!"
When Wu Chang entered, he saw a table of people, there were seven or eight, all of them were fierce men, and in the middle was Zhang Longtao, Zhang Longtao didn't look at Wu Chang, and after a long while, he turned his face and said to Wu Chang: "What's the matter with you?"
Wu Chang looked at it, and saw Zhang Longtao's tired face, pale face, dark eye circles, and his eyes wandered and swept around, although Wu Chang's status was low, but he was not unintelligent, he only glanced at it and lowered his head and said: "Yes! The person you want to check has just entered the city and gone to the Hou Mansion." ”
But he secretly thought about it in his heart, why the third young master Yintang was black, but it was a bad omen, and just thinking about it, he heard Zhang Longtao say: "Oh, he's here!"
Zhang Longtao's heart was agitated, he pondered for a moment, and said, "You did a good job, step down!"
Throwing away five taels of silver, Wu Chang immediately smiled and said, "Young Master Zhang." ”
This notice has been issued, the hotel likes to be lively, there is a storyteller, the Hebo Huangyin as a story to tell, often the audience slaps the table loudly, the voice of people boiling.
"Hebo's surname is like a woman, he is very important, ordinary people are not worthy, every ten years he chooses a young lady from the family, and he does not choose from the family, and now it is a ten-year period. After Mr. Storyteller finished speaking, he said: "I don't know which young lady is going to suffer this year, and she has been plagued by the river god." ”
After that, he sighed again and again.
There was a person who said: "I heard that this is the second lady of the Hexi Fan Tongzhi family who was selected." However, Wei Hou has an order, and the reward is very rich. ”
"If you say so, it depends on whether you use this life to take it. Someone else said.
The sound reached inside, and there was no sound in the screen, and everyone was drinking and eating meat in a deep voice.
Zhang Longtao calmed down and said: "Everyone has heard it, everyone has already decided on the Fa meeting, if you dare to flee, it will harm the family!"
"You are the ones who are directly involved in the Fa, I don't ask for anything, I just ask you to kill Wang Cunye...... Kill him, and there will be people from our yamen outside, as long as you survive the night, you will have a way to live. ”
"Whether it works out or not, fifty taels of silver per person...... Brother Hu, what do you think?"
A middle-aged man ate and drank silently, and when he heard this, he sighed: "I have worked hard for more than ten years, and I don't want to still fall into this catastrophe. ”
Zhang Longtao's heart was relieved: "Okay, after drinking, you will pay the silver." ”
After the matter was done, Zhang Longtao still felt frightened and uneasy, his face was pale and bloodless, he didn't expect the matter to be so big.
Isn't it just to rob a folk girl and beat a boy?
Now that he has emptied the money, he has taken this group of Jianghu men as an internal response, and invited Shen Zhengzhi and a group of people among the people who inspect and supervise, even if this kid is blessed with a great life and comes out overnight, he will be killed while he is tired and injured.
This is already Zhang Longtao's best, but staring at the hanging lamp, Zhang Longtao's heart was terrified, so he had to forcibly suppress it and drink all the wine in the cup.
At this time, Wang Cunye had already arrived, and saw two big stone lions squatting in front of the door of the Marquis of Wei's mansion, and in front of the door were lined up were personal soldiers with long knives, and there was a fire (ten people).
The main entrance is not open, there is a plaque on it, the plaque is written with the golden word "Wei Hou Mansion", the font has its own heavy artistic conception, I don't know which famous handwriting.
The main gate is not Wang Cunye, who can enter now, so he goes to the side door.
There was a door at the side door, and there was a charcoal fire in it, and a scribe was sorting out the documents in front of the desk, so Wang Cunye went in and asked, "Are you recording here?"
"Huh?" The man was startled, looked at Wang Cunye, and saw that it was a Taoist, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, you are also participating in the Fa, please take a seat, there is still a pot of hot wine here, you can take a sip." ”
It is said that the people who participate in the festival are all people who are going to die, and if it is a sad people, these people can all have martial arts or strange arts, and even Wei Hou has to be careful before he dies - not afraid, but not worth it.
These Houfu officials are even more knowledgeable, no one will put up a shelf at this time, or if these people are slaughtered, they will really be slaughtered for nothing.
"The Lord of Dayan Views, and Wang Cunye, the official of the chapter!" Wang Cunye had no intention of entanglement with such a person, so he said, poured himself a cup of drink, and suddenly felt a warm current.
This person was shocked, and the official was a Taoist official, so how could he also participate in the Faya?
After looking at Wang Cunye, he didn't dare to ask more, wrote down his name, registered it, and took out a wooden card with tiger stripes on it, and said: "This is a wooden card, if you bring this, you can have a free banquet in these two days, and enter and exit the Hou Mansion." ”
shouted again: "Little Liu, take the VIP inside." ”
"Yes!" a small guy came to salute, Wang Cunye took the wooden card, did not say much, entered, along the corridor up, the house is very elegant, the pillars are brushed with vermilion lacquer, carved with auspicious ornaments.
After walking for a while, I saw that this Hou Mansion was lenient, and my heart was sprinkled.
At the beginning of this dynasty, Taizu set the specifications for the area occupied by the mansion, 80 acres for the county king, 50 acres for the national prince, 30 acres for the Hou, 15 acres for the uncle, 10 acres for the son, and 5 acres for the male, which is hereditary.
According to heard, the Hou Mansion has a radius of 50 acres, but it is extraordinary.
This is three hundred years ago, the Dao law appeared, and interfered in the mortal world, the power of the Son of Heaven fell, and the princes have set up their own separatism, until now, the Marquis of Wei is a vassal lord, but nominally still belongs to the imperial court, even if it is superqualified, who can help?
At this time, in late autumn, everything is slaughtered, the frost grows and the grass declines, and there is a light rain, the wind blows, it is full of cold, just a few steps away, you can see a small door, and there is a faint noise inside.
The little guy stopped and said, "You have a wooden card, you can choose a banquet, stay in the room, please!"
So Wang Cunye went in, but he saw a hall, and the hall was very large, and hundreds of candles were lit, and the light was bright and bright, and there were sixty seats.
At the banquet, all kinds of people sat together, good at arming fists, guessing riddles, fish and dragons mixed in it, one by one blushing, shouting.
There was a small guy inside who led him in, and when he saw that it was a card, he opened a single table alone, and said, "Please!"
Wang Cunye watched coldly, and saw that everyone was feasting in this banquet.
At this time, the turtle shell moved, and everything in front of him suddenly changed, and I saw that the hundreds of candles in the hall had not been extinguished, but turned into green flames.
The walls and the ground were full of blood, and the originally delicious dishes turned into blood-drenched raw meat, and these two hundred heroes had blood and tears in their eyes, and they were all serving the little guys, but they all turned into hideous ghosts.
Wang Cunye was startled, and the disappearance in front of him disappeared.
The lights in the hall are brilliant, the dishes are exquisite, and these people are all arrogant, and they seem to be out of the way.
