Volume 1 Death and Life Section 5 Wuling Festival
Since Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" describes the Wuling fisherman who strayed into the Peach Blossom Spring, throughout the ages, Wuling has become synonymous with the Peach Blossom Spring, but for the people in the rivers and lakes, Wuling City is most famous for a "Sai Meng taste" Wang Ruliang here. Wang Ruliang is a legend of the rivers and lakes, from an unknown small catcher, he relied on a pair of iron fists to deter the world, and even broke out of a family business that rivaled the rich country. Now Lian is quite old, Wang Ruliang is over the age of six, although his body is still strong, but every rainy day, the old injuries on his body will make him feel painful. He has countless scars on his body, hundreds of fatal ones, and success is not as simple as you think.
Wang Ruliang stood quietly in his room, staring at the sky outside the window in a daze, the sky was overcast. The wind was slightly cool, and there were flowers and leaves in the courtyard swaying in the wind, occasionally swinging through the window, falling on his chest, he was in a trance, and he didn't realize it at all. The most helpless thing in the world is that the beauty is twilight and the hero is old. Although the years have been exchanged for fame and fortune, the years are the most precious wealth.
After a long time, someone outside the door called: "Daddy, the head of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect is also here." The young man who pushed the door in was long and jade, and his silhouette was extremely similar to Wang Ruliang, but he was too thin, his face was too pale, and he was so white that he could see the flow of blood vessels. It's hard to imagine that this is a son-in-law born in a wealthy family. Wang Ruliang looked at his son, and felt even more lonely and frustrated, what did he do in his early years, so that he ignored so much, such as caring for his family. Now is not the time to sigh, he said: "Chu Long, welcome me personally!" Saying that, Wang Chulong followed him, not too close, first, his father was not as close as he imagined, although he had a reputation for impatience and righteousness, and second, his father was a head taller than him, and it was too obvious if he was close.
The front hall separated by the two courtyards is like a cloud of mud with the comfort and tranquility of the backyard, the noisy carriages and horses, the surging figures, and the endless flow of guests. The red carpet is spread on the floor, the colorful silk ribbons are hung everywhere, the tables in the entire vestibule and hall have been filled with fine wine and food, and the guests at the door sing the names of the guests loudly, all of whom are among the best figures in the rivers and lakes.
The head of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect, Yi Feifei, and his wife Wang Yanruo sat in the hall. Wang Yanruo was very unhappy, so Yi Feifei was silent. The disciples of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect who were standing on the side followed suit, lest they touch the moldy head of the head lady. Their trip was to find their beloved daughter Yi Xiaoxiao, who had run away from home, but when they passed through here, they were involved in trouble, how could Mrs. Yi not be anxious and depressed.
Xu Shiqiong, the ninth generation elder of the beggar gang who was eating and drinking in the corner, wanted to say hello to Yi Feifei, but when he caught a glimpse of Wang Yanruo, who had a bitter and hateful face, he swallowed the greeting back into his stomach. Xu Shiqiong's beloved apprentice Xu Yongping kept nagging him: "Master, image!" Pay attention to the image! You're a master, just eat it, don't keep your saliva while eating. Xu Shiqiong glanced at him: "I'll tell you, if you don't eat now, you won't have time to eat after the meeting, and you won't pack it after the meeting." Xu Yongping was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then poured wine and stuffed food into his mouth at a speed that Xu Shiqiong was shocked. The people at the same table looked sideways, and secretly said, how did these two Hanako get in, and finally couldn't help but leave the table and change places. Just when the two of them were secretly happy, Xiao Xiao sat down, and drank the jar of wine in front of him with a sip, Lao Xu Xiaoxu's mouth was about to fall off, and Xiao Xiao slapped the second jar open. Xiao Xu saw the opportunity quickly, hurriedly handed over the bowl, and said, "Hey, pour me a bowl and ...... first."
"Ahh Xiao Xiao sneezed, turned his head and asked with a blank expression, "What's the matter?" ”
Xu Yongping was speechless, and regardless of wiping the saliva on his hands, he hugged the last remaining jar of wine on the table in his arms at a lightning speed.
Xiao Xiao looked disdainful, beckoned to the air, a family member walked over, Xiao Xiao stretched out a finger, and said, "Twenty more jars of fine wine on this table!" Then the finger snapped into his nostrils and went to grab the roast goose on the table.
"There are talents in the country." Ninth Elder Xu Shiqiong shook his head and sighed.
"The people of the beggar gang are really not as good as the generation." Ding Xiaorong of the South China Sea Sword Sect not far away, the charm is still there, and she is frowning at the moment and looking at Xu Shiqiong. When she was young, she was once obsessed with Xu Shiqiong, who was in the game of the rivers and lakes, but the latter was profligate, and since joining the beggar gang, she has become even more sloppy and sloppy.
"That's what Uncle Master said." All the female disciples of the South China Sea Sword Sect have a seven-trick exquisite heart.
Fei Liancheng of the Qingcheng Sword Sect came over with a wine glass to greet Ding Xiaorong: "Senior Sister Ding, I haven't seen you for many years, I'm old, but the years haven't left any traces on your face." ”
Ding Xiaorong lazily raised her glass back, and Cheng Qinglong, a scattered person in the rivers and lakes, also ran over, glared at Fei Liancheng defiantly, and said, "Brother Fei, you are overworked, can you not age fast." He accentuated a certain word, and although the faces of the girls in the South China Sea were red, they would eat and laugh heartily. For a while, the spring was beautiful here, which attracted a lot of hot green eyes. Ding Xiaorong was very displeased and glared at Cheng Qinglong fiercely. The latter is known for being a scoundrel, and she has nothing to do.
At this time, Wang Ruliang had already strode out in a hurry, and he first greeted Yi Feifei: "Everyone is here, and the disdain is really shining." Yi Feifei sat down and didn't get up, bowing slightly. But in his heart, he slandered, your official language is too old-fashioned, is it weak? Mrs. Yi was like no one around at all, and she was greeting her beloved daughter who had been reunited for a long time.
Wang Ruliang didn't mind, he waved at everyone, waited for everyone to stop the hustle and bustle, and said loudly: "Thank you heroes and knights for taking the time to come, the old man is right and graceful to be a proprietor, I hope everyone can eat happily and drink happily." Where the slack is located, look at Haihan. "Everyone even called the old hero too modest, and we will eat you for half a year if you lose your hair. Wang Chulong then said: "Please invite the head of Xiaoxiang Pai Yi and his wife, the beggar to help Elder Xu Shiqiong, the South China Sea Sword Sect Ding Xiaorong Heroine, the Qingcheng Sword Sect Fei Liancheng Hero and Zhuo Lianxing Hero, the Thousand Hands Rulai Bitter Sea Master, the Chicken Song Mountain Wind into the Clouds Hero, the Thorn Ridge Yuwei Hero, the Founder Fang Yishi, the Wen Liangyan Wen Heroine and other distinguished guests to take a seat. ”
Fei Liancheng glanced at Cheng Qinglong, what does it mean, you kid is not qualified to take the seat. Cheng Qinglong was annoyed, walked towards Wang Chulong quickly, grabbed the latter's right arm, and said angrily: "You kid, why did you miss my name!" "He is good at seventy-two ways of grappling, bullying Wang Chulong when he is young, and wants to twist his arm to make him ugly. As soon as he exerted his strength, he felt that he was twisting a piece of steel, Wang Chulong waved his hand and said: "The hero is angry, the kid is ignorant, he doesn't know the hero Taifu......" Fei Liancheng was grabbing his arm with all his strength, and with a wave of his hand, Fei Liancheng was taken outward and flew out.
Cheng Qinglong said secretly, this old face is going to be lost. But he didn't fall to the ground, Wang Chulong grabbed his arm and helped him stand up. Xu Shiqiong laughed and said: "Cheng Qinglong, you kid is more greedy than me, so you're drunk." ”
Cheng Qinglong's old face flushed as if he was responding to Xu Shiqiong, and he returned to his seat in embarrassment, not daring to make any more mistakes.
Xiao Xiao poked Xu Yongping with his elbow and said, "Your old man's name is Xu Shiqiang, it's really unlucky." ”
Xu Yongping thought so, looked bitter, and said, "My name is Xu Yongpeng." ”
Xiao Xiao opened his mouth wide, not because of Er Xu's name, he saw a rough man with an expressionless face, striding through under the surprised gaze of the crowd, and sat at the table of Wang Ruliang and the others. That unique man is naturally Duanmu Yu.
Wang Ruliang was stunned and said, "Who is this hero?" ”
Duanmu Yu said: "Contemptible people are neither heroes nor heroes, and Duanmu Yu in Shu is." Why, this seat is vacant, isn't it for people to sit on? ”
"It's not for the average person." Wang Chulong said with a smile, "But Brother Tai is naturally not an ordinary person." Come, I'll toast you. As he spoke, he raised the flask, and did not take the glass, but raised his left palm, and the wine poured down, and the glass solidified in the air.
Just now, Cheng Wang and the two fought, and everyone didn't see it clearly, and they really thought that Cheng Qinglong was drunk. Now that he saw Wang Gongzilu's magic skill, he suddenly didn't dare to underestimate this weak Gongzi brother. Wang Chulong's left palm was slightly forward, and the cupless wine in the air flew towards Duanmu Yu. Duanmu Yu swiped it with his left hand, and the clear wine without walls floated in the air, still maintaining the shape of a cup. But in an instant, the crowd exclaimed, and the wine had turned to ice. Duanmu Yu said lightly: "It's windy and rainy outside, and the contemptible hand is frozen." As he spoke, the ice wine automatically flew into the air above the right palm, and then the "squeak" sound turned into a wisp of green smoke and evaporated.
Fang Zheng is dressed as a scholar, he is not confused when he is over the age, and his internal strength is not as skilled as the two of them. But his eyesight was not bad, and he asked: "What is the name of the Ice and Fire Phoenix in Shuzhong and Your Excellency?" ”
Duanmu Yu picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, and signaled to everyone: "Feng Nanqiu is the family Ci, and Yu will not drink the wine if he toasts it." ”
Wang Ruliang said happily when he heard this: "Then you deserve this position!" ”
Xu Shiqiong laughed and said, "The son of the Ice and Fire Phoenix is naturally well-deserved, but this position is not as comfortable as you imagined, and I am afraid that there will be trouble when you sit on it." ”
Duanmu Yu was still expressionless, and said lightly: "The trouble of the contemptible people is not small, and I don't care about a little more or less." ”
Wang Ruliang clapped his hands and said, "I am dissatisfied with Duanmu Xian's nephew, I am waiting for this gathering, but it is for the slaughter of many villages in recent days. Chu Long, you can give us a briefing on the situation. ”
Wang Chulong got up and saluted when he heard this, and said: "In the past three months, we have already heard that many villages have been slaughtered, and the murderers are extremely cruel. Half a month ago, my father's friends from the government came to my house to ask for help, and it turned out that more than 1,000 people had died in 10 villages one after another. After investigation, it was found that the murderer was not for money or sex, and it was impossible to guess his motive for committing the crime. However, after examining the wounds of the deceased and the remaining traces at the scene, we still found some clues. ”
Duanmu Yu came for this matter, and listened intently to Wang Chulong as he continued: "Twenty years ago, there was a notorious Jiangyang thief called Yunli Baitiao. This thief is a thief who is addicted to murder. The targets of his crimes range from wealthy merchants to nobles, and there is no law, but all the homes or caravans that he looted are all chickens and dogs. So much so that no one in the rivers and lakes knew the true face of this thief. My father was ordered to arrest the thief, but after many years, it was still fruitless. Later, the thief somehow disappeared and stopped committing crimes, and this disappearance was twenty years. ”
Ding Xiaorong frowned and said: "The official statement back then was that this thief had been stabbed by the old hero Wang. But it's not. ”
Wang Ruliang sighed and said: "The old man is ashamed, the thief made too much noise back then, in order to appease people's hearts, the official government said that he was killed by the old man after the thief disappeared. ”
"Do you think that this village slaughter case was done by Yunli Baitiao?" Duanmu Yu asked.
Wang Chulong nodded and said, "That person's technique is too ruthless, and his tricks are weird, as long as you study it a little, you can discern its characteristics." The village massacre in March is very similar to the looting methods of Baitiao in Yunli back then. ”
"But don't you think it's wrong? Yunli Baitiao is a big thief, what is he doing to kill those innocent villagers? Duanmu Yu said.
Wang Chulong shook his head: "What is the reason for this, only when this thief is caught can he know the truth." The implication is that it has been concluded that it was done by Baitiao in the clouds.
"Some people just kill people for no reason, such as you Duanmu fool." A soft voice preached from the corner. Everyone looked for prestige, only to see the bewitching woman who appeared at some point was playing with the necklace on her chest, her pink dress was very thin, you could see the dirty pants inside, the collar was very low, the chest was white and greasy, half of the full roundness was exposed, and the round and slender legs were very beautiful. When she saw that everyone was looking at her, she covered her mouth and smiled, lowered her head and blushed, and the two seductive white flesh squeezed out a lot. Cheng Qinglong exclaimed: "Red lady Li Yan." The Black Dragon Society was also invited? ”
Li Yanmei's eyes were like silk, and she said: "Oh, you are not the husband of the slave family, why do you call the slave lady?" ”
Duanmu Yu said coldly: "Will the Black Dragon come to you alone, be careful that everyone here will be your husband." ”
"Oops, scared the slaves." Li Yan patted her crisp chest and said, "If someone else wants to be the husband of a slave family, they would rather die than obey, but if you are Brother Duanmu, you will be allowed to taste it." ”
Duanmu Yu got up and said, "Really? Contemptible people have such a big face? ”
Li Yan laughed and trembled, and said: "Who doesn't know that the Ice and Fire Phoenix is good at the method of dual cultivation, otherwise the Duanmu Prince would not let the prince do it, and sleep in the willows with all his heart." Brother Duanmu, your Ice and Fire Exercises have not yet been separated, and it seems that you are still a child. How? The slave's bed kung fu is not bad. ”
Xiao Xiao said secretly, there is such a magical kung fu? He asked Xu Yongping in a low voice, "What is the Double Cultivation Method?" ”
Xu Yongping said: "It is widely said in the rivers and lakes that ice and fire gong is the supreme exercise of the ancient Taoists, and once learned, you can master the qi of yin and yang. However, men and women have different physiques, and it is difficult to fuse the two qis. ”
"So amazing?!" Xiao Xiao looked at Duanmu Yu hotly. Xu Yongping had a chill, his buttocks moved desperately to the side, and said, "Same-sex is not beneficial." ”
Duanmu Yu's face was cold, he got up and walked towards Li Yan, who hurriedly retreated, but Duanmu Yu had already started a light effort to sweep over, and the ice palm was imprinted on Li Yan's chest, Li Yan took advantage of the situation to send his breasts to him, Duanmu Yu fell, and hurriedly changed to grab. The crowd is overwhelmed, hooligans, this is. Li Yan snorted coquettishly and avoided to the right, but he grabbed his clothes. With the sound of "poof" clothes cracking, Li Yan held her breasts with both hands, and stood naked in the crowd.
Duanmu Yu said loudly: "When I am with, if you can't shrink back, your little lover will be humiliated in front of others." Everyone looked forward to it, only to see a few figures entering over the wall, shrinking into inches, and falling next to Li Yan. Among them, who were about thirty years old, with a clear face and a green shirt, said with a smile: "Brother Duanmu is wrong, of course good things must be shared with everyone, and I am not a person who cherishes himself when I am a broom." Yanyan, if you want to see it, why don't you be satisfied. ”
"Okay." Li Yan smiled and let go of her hands. The people in the rivers and lakes sighed, the female disciples of the South China Sea Sword Sect had red faces and red ears, Xu Yongping had a long nosebleed, and muttered: "It's worth it, it's worth it." ”
When I was with the Black Dragon Society, I was accompanied by three other people, black, white, and blue. At that time, I and my men had two elders and four attendants. These three people, plus Li Yan, are the four attendants. Taking advantage of the stunned crowd, the three of them attacked Duanmu Yu. The black-clothed whip, the white-clothed sword, and the green cloth made the double stab, the three of them cooperated from afar, attacking up and down, although Duanmu Yu coped with it easily, he couldn't get out of the battle circle for a while.
Wang Ruliang said loudly: "Lord Shirud, my Wang has nothing to do with the Black Dragon Society, and now the Black Dragon Society visits and does not submit the door sticker, do you look down on my Wang family or despise the heroes here?" ”
"This Duanmu fool killed my elder, I have been chasing this person for a long time, and I hope Haihan if there is any offense." When I said with the arch.
Wang Chulong said angrily: "You have come to my house for a vendetta? As he spoke, the soft sword at his waist flicked and stabbed at me from a strange angle. When I dodged in a hurry, I shouted, "What a handsome kung fu." I didn't lead the crowd to come, just because I respected your royal family, and since this is the case, I have to offend. Saying that, with a wave of his right arm, the long sleeve bound Wang Chulong's soft sword, and pulled it back, Wang Chulong's internal strength was invincible, but the soft sword was divided into three, like three poisonous snakes, entangled with my right arm. When I counterattacked with no defense, my left hand pointed with a false finger, as fast as lightning, Wang Chulong hurriedly returned to the sword to defend, but I didn't point down. The two fought several times, and Wang Chulong saw that he had endured it many times, knowing that he was invincible, and then retreated. When I didn't chase after me, Duanmu Yu swept away in reverse, and Duanmu Yu shouted: "It's just right!" With both feet on the ground, there was a loud noise, the ice dragon was on the left, the fire dragon was on the right, and everyone present was like being in an ice cellar for a while, and then it was like being caught in a sea of fire. Duanmu Yu stepped on the seven stars, the robe was flying, the palm was like a swimming dragon, with the close fit of yin and yang and the changes of the ice and fire palm, it was actually a draw with the five people, the scene became more and more messy, the destruction kept spreading, but the spectators were deeply attracted by the beauty of ice and fire, and they were fascinated. Just when the Wang family was about to be overturned, a person made a decisive voice, Yi Xiaoxiao said: "Mother, you help me fight the people of the Black Dragon Society, they bully my daughter." ”
"Let's go!" With a long howl, I rushed away with four attendants. Just kidding, if Yi Fei makes a move, his little life will not be surrendered here.
