The fourth time, the fire god is extraordinary
Zhong Chengliang was greatly surprised, he didn't expect to meet the villagers here, so he hurriedly stood up and said to Uncle Sun: "Uncle Sun, it turns out ...... It's you. There was a hint of surprise in the words.
Uncle Sun asked him with a smile: "Chengliang, you have captured all the beasts in the mountains and forests, and now you still want to enter the Dragon King Temple of the West Sea to break through?" ”
Zhong Chengliang heard his joke, stretched out his hand and scratched his ear and said, "Uncle Sun, you can make fun of me, boy, I don't have that much ability." ”
Uncle Sun saw that Zhong Chengliang was lightly dressed, but he fell asleep under the tree, and cried and shouted Uncle Zhong's name in his sleep, thinking that he missed him day and night, and dreamed of his father, but this filial piety is really rare. But why is he alone here, but he is very puzzled, is he waiting for a ship to cross the sea? Uncle Sun still asked Zhong Chengliang with a smile: "Chengliang, how do you know that this place and why did you come here?" ”
Zhong Cheng thought about it in his conscience, Xu Jian's matter must not be leaked, so he made up a lie and said to Uncle Sun: "Uncle Sun, this matter is very strange, last night I went to Sanqing Temple to worship, and I fell asleep in the temple unconsciously. In my sleep, I saw the Sanqing Divine Venerable speak to me, guide me out of the valley to get here, cross the sea by boat, go to Yecheng, and find a room called ...... The temple named "Tianning Temple" went to get a thing back, and the Sanqing gods have kept the Sanqing Valley harvest for more than a year, and the people and animals are safe, and the world is ...... Generations of prosperity. He painted on the surface, but in his heart he muttered, thinking that he fell asleep in Sanqing Temple last night, but it was not the god who clearly pointed out that he wanted to go to Yecheng, as for the "Tianning Temple" is also casually, praying that the god will protect the characters in the valley is the truth, but this words are mostly made up, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult to say that it is not a good match, although there are big loopholes, but seeing that Uncle Sun does not seem to care too much, he feels that there is disrespect for the gods in his words, so he secretly regrets it in his heart, and begs the gods to forgive and forgive.
As soon as Uncle Sun heard that his trip was actually at the behest of the gods, he immediately put away his smile, pointed behind him and said to Zhong Chengliang: "Then you are ...... Chase after it, or you'll ...... It's too late! There was a little impatience in his voice.
Zhong Chengliang looked sideways in the direction he was pointing, and it was actually a small boat! He exclaimed, took three steps and galloped towards the boat, and turned his head to thank Uncle Sun as he ran. Seeing that the boat had rowed ten feet away, he raised his voice and shouted: "Slow down!" Slow down! He was full of energy, and several loud cries were heard far away from the sea, attracting the attention of the bow man, who turned the bow of the boat and rowed the boat to the shore again.
Zhong Chengliang was about to get on the boat, when he saw Uncle Sun coming in a hurry, and said to him with a smile: "Chengliang, you go slowly." After speaking, he handed over a cloth bag and pressed it in Zhong Chengliang's hand, and then leaned sideways and whispered in his ear: "This is the coiling on the road, you have to remember Uncle Sun's good wow, when you return from success, you can say a few more words for Uncle Sun in front of the gods." After saying that, he turned around and gave the bus fare, and waved goodbye to Zhong Chengliang.
Zhong Chengliang hugged his fist at him and returned the salute, he knew that Uncle Sun had some business outside, and whenever he returned to the valley, he would be pulled by a young man to listen to him tell the strange things outside, Zhong Chengliang also listened to it with fascination and imagination. He didn't know that people like Uncle Sun and other businessmen were most superstitious about feng shui metaphysics, because when he said the adventure of the Sanqing Temple and got a glimpse of the instructions of the gods, Uncle Sun was already convinced, and hoped that Zhong Chengliang could get back what he asked for smoothly and properly, so that he could praise him for this contribution in front of the Sanqing Divine Venerable, so that he could bless his generations of heirs with continuous wealth and prosperity.
At this time, the sea was not alarmed, and the boat sailed very quickly down the river by the wind, and arrived at the market port in the evening. Hearing this, the captain was stunned, Yecheng was still six or seven days away from here, and after pointing to the direction of walking, he asked Zhong Chengliang what he was doing in Yecheng. Zhong Chengliang found a reason to visit his relatives, but unexpectedly, the captain sighed one after another, and told him that Yecheng is now in chaos, the people are panicked, the gang uprising on the rivers and lakes has been suppressed by the government, fighting overnight, dead and wounded, most of the people have fled for refuge, and reminded Zhong Chengliang not to go first. Zhong Chengliang heard what his father-in-law said, and he had a slight concern in his heart, but when he thought that he was shouldering the heavy trust of Xu Jian's will, how could he easily determine, he thanked his father-in-law for his kind reminder, and walked along the road in the northeast direction pointed by his father-in-law.
Zhong Chengliang left the valley for the first time, and felt fresh about the things in the outside world. He couldn't hide his excitement and curiosity, and he had to look left and right along the way, roadside vendors, teahouses, inns, and even lanterns and candles. When everyone saw him dressed as a peasant boy, they only said that he was rare and strange, and he didn't care about the strange eyes of others, and he walked while playing by himself. He inquired about people, walked for three days, came to a wilderness outskirts, left and right have been devoid of human traces, the sky has been dark, all around the black paint, far and near the trees from time to time to come to the sound of "wow" crows, but also add a bit of treacherous feeling. Zhong Chengliang couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart, and he was eager to find a clean place to settle down, but he didn't know that the rain was sprinkled in an instant, and it crackled and slapped on him with a faint pain.
Zhong Cheng's conscience was bitter, he didn't have time to prepare an umbrella so he had to pull out his legs to find a way to run, how to know that the faster he ran, the more dense the rain beckoned to him, his eyes were almost open, only narrowed into a small slit barely to see the way, as if he was at a loss, the soles of his feet slipped and fell forward a few feet, his cheeks almost touched the ground, but he was also splashed with muddy water.
He was about to get up, and he inadvertently caught a glimpse of brightness in the corner of his left eye, he got up and looked to the left, but only to see a piece of black and slippery in the majestic rain, he thought to himself, isn't it dazzling? With a thought in his mind, he hurriedly lay on the ground and looked left, and saw the light of the lights reflected on the water a few feet away. It turned out that he had turned from the main road to the winding path, and on both sides were towering ancient trees, covering the left and right scenes tightly and densely, and when he lay on the ground, he could see the light through the reflection of the water in the ditch.
Zhong Chengliang was overjoyed, his mood suddenly lifted, and he immediately changed his route to the left, looking for the place where the light source was.
He ran out of Rich, and saw a tall tower in front of him. At this time, the rain was unabated, and he didn't dare to slow down a little, ignoring the pain of the whipping of the branches and leaves mixed with the rain on his body, he ran wildly, and in a moment he had reached the high-rise building.
Zhong Cheng Liang saw that it was a temple tower, and the fire and shadow on the bottom moved out of the window, and he didn't have time to look at the appearance of the temple tower, so he stepped forward and knocked on the temple door, "Is there anyone, is there anyone?" It was raining heavily outside, so I came to take shelter from the rain. Zhong Chengliang said.
But one of the people in the tower replied to him, "The door is not bolted, come in." ”
"Thank you." Zhong Chengliang hurriedly pushed the door in, shook off the rain on his body, raised his eyes and looked around, only to see oil lamps in the four corners of the southeast, northwest and north, and some firewood in the middle. He saw several people sitting in the northeast and southeast corners, thinking that these people should have also caught up with the rainstorm to take shelter here, but apparently they came in time, not like he was soaked in the rain, he closed the door with his backhand, and went to the firewood pile and sat down to roast the fire to ward off the cold. Zhong Chengliang rubbed his hands in front of everyone and roasted the fire, the wood crackled, the sparks splashed and jumped, his whole body was wrapped in a warm current, he felt very relaxed, and at this time he was hungry, so he took out the dry food from the burden and ate it.
When everyone saw that he was a farming boy, they only looked at him and ignored him, and then saw that if he had no food for others, he did not have the slightest atmosphere of the rivers and lakes in his gestures, and he was a small citizen in the market, so he was a little less wary of him.
At this time, I heard a person in the northeast corner say: "Senior brother, last month, the Yi Gang spread a post on the rivers and lakes, inviting the famous gang to gather in Yecheng Mu Mansion three days later, presumably to discuss the matter of resisting the imperial officials, but well, I don't know where some stinky fish and rotten shrimp came from, uninvited, what do you want, and rub this excitement." His high-pitched voice was already unpleasant, and his mocking and sneering tones were very unpleasant to hear.
Zhong Chengliang frowned slightly, turned his head sideways and looked in the direction of speaking, only to see that the man was twenty-four or five years old, with thin eyebrows and slanted eyes, a flat nose and thick lips, and a mole on his face like a gorgeous flower. But I heard a person next to him say: "Eh, the junior brother is too worried, stinky fish and rotten shrimp always have their wonderful uses, if these rotten tail fish and shrimp are missing, those dog officials will have no merit to admonish, so how to show the wonder of my help?" "When I saw that the person who spoke, he was born like a crown of jade, white and handsome, holding a folding fan, and his temperament was brilliant. Although the appearance of his brother is in stark contrast, his morality is a good one.
When the two of them spoke, they actually stroked their hands and laughed, and they were very happy. Zhong Chengliang didn't understand what the two of them were ridiculing, and six of the seven people sitting in the southeast corner couldn't help but stand up, pointing at them and angrily reprimanding: "Cheng Baobao, He Er, what do you Kagura Gang mean!?" ”
The person holding the folding fan is named Cheng Baobao, the people in the rivers and lakes are called "jade-faced flying dragons", and the ugly-looking person is his junior brother surnamed He, because he ranks second, so he is nicknamed "He Lao Er". The two of them studied under Zhen Dongsheng, the leader of the Kagura Gang, and now they are both the guardians of the Kagura Gang.
He Lao Er said with a smile: "I still have to ask you about the Fire Gate, have you received a letter from the righteous gang?" ”
"This ...... ......The six people who stood up seemed to be in difficulty, and they couldn't answer each other for a while, and they all looked at the middle-aged strong man sitting on their side. I saw him dressed in red, like fire, his eyes were full of energy, and his eyes were shining, and he replied slowly: "Although I have not received a letter from the Yi Gang, Xu Jian, the owner of the Orange Flag of the Yi Gang, has always had a friendship with me, he is upright and iron-clad, and he will never do anything to betray the gang and harm his compatriots." I waited uninvited for only two things, one is to be able to contribute to the same people in the rivers and lakes, and the other is to be unjust for the grievances suffered by Lord Xu Xiang. Although I don't know the shame this time, what is it in the face of right and wrong? "The person who spoke was none other than Su Jincao, the head of the Flame Sect.
Zhong Chengliang heard him speak righteously, not humble or unyielding, and mentioned that he was an old friend with Xu Jian, seeing that he had a righteous face, and his majestic and courageous aura was quite similar to Xu Jian, he immediately had a good impression, and the three words "well said" almost blurted out.
He Lao Er saw that Su Jincao was not afraid to make fun of this matter, so he no longer ridiculed, but he had another idea in his heart: "This Agni Gate is not well-known in the rivers and lakes, I only heard the master say that the head of Su Jincao's Agni Divine Palm is comparable to the Hibiscus Palm of the Righteous Gang Xu Jian, but I don't know the depth of its reality, my senior brother and I have rarely met opponents in the rivers and lakes in recent years, and today we are relaxing our muscles and bones and frustrating the sharpness of his Agni Gate." I only heard his words turn around, and asked: "The traitor of the righteous gang and Xu Jian is known to everyone in the rivers and lakes. A few months ago, more than 100 people from seven gangs, including the Jiyi Gang, the Yi Gang, and the Jiaojiabao Gang, were all ambushed and annihilated by officers and soldiers, and only Xu Jian escaped. Then dozens of righteous protests were lost one after another, and the major gangs in the rivers and lakes suffered drastic losses as a result, so they had to stop Ge Yin and Xu Tu to plan later. It is rumored that Xu Jian once hid in an extremely hidden valley, he thought that in this way he could be incognito and evaporate from the world, but he did not know that he had created too much evil, and the gods and men were angry! He robbed people and horses, killed people and kept his mouth shut, but unexpectedly, there were still surviving grooms...... Hehe, the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, Xu Jian's hiding tracks are exposed, and he actually killed two Yellow Flag brothers of the Yi Gang, and the other person fought with him to the death, although he escaped death, but he was also seriously injured! The younger generation is stupid, just ask such a traitor who is a big traitor and a traitor who everyone gets and is punished, but he has become a representative of benevolence and righteousness in the door of Su Zhang, a hero in the rivers and lakes, isn't it ridiculous? ”
When Su Jincao and the others heard him say this, they wanted to refute it, but they had no evidence. If it weren't for Xu Jian himself appearing to explain the cause and effect of all things, how could the three of them become tigers, how could they be clear between half a word? Speechless for a moment, silently not answering.
Zhong Chengliang heard it in his ears, and his heart was confused. He thought to himself that half of this person's words were true, such as the righteous act of being ambushed and hiding in the valley, but the clouds and clouds such as horse robbery and murder were reversed right and wrong, and they were fabricated. Xu senior encountered a horse thief on the way to find the valley, and wanted to harm him, so he had to take action, and the horse thief left the horse and fled, how can this be called horse robbery and murder? As for the murder of the two children of the Yi Gang, one was injured, but the murderer was someone else, and it was definitely not done by Xu seniors.
A few months of changes, right and wrong, that night in the Sanqing Temple, Zhong Chengliang heard Xu Jian speak clearly, clearly. He saw that Su Jincao came to support Xu Jian uninvited, his mind was even firmer, and when he was about to refute it, he heard He Lao Er say: "Xu Jian is greedy for wealth and wealth, sells for glory, and has become a lackey of the court...... I don't know if it's to contribute to the gangs, or to work for the traitors and thieves? ”
When all the disciples of the Agni Fire Gate heard this, they were all furious, pointing at He Lao Er and shouting loudly, asking him to retract his slanderous words and kowtow to the head of the sect to admit his mistake.
He Lao Er grinned, his expression was obscene, his tone was yin and yang, and he said: "It's not difficult for me to admit my mistakes, I am not good at learning and I am distressed, and I have a good opportunity today and I want to ask Su Zhangmen for a few tricks, if I lose, I should kowtow to Su Zhangmen to admit my mistakes, but I am lucky to win one and a half moves......"
The disciples of the Flame Gate said angrily, "Then what are you going to do!?" ”
"You will go home and close the door to retire from the Agni Gate, and when you meet the brothers of the Kagura Gang on the rivers and lakes in the future, you must respectfully call 'Hello'." He Lao Er frowned and grinned, and said with a wicked smile.
"Senior brother, you and I have a wide range of martial arts, it is an honor to be able to ask for a few tricks under the head of Su today, Su is an elder, you have to be polite and give three points, don't hurt Su by mistake. If it is inconvenient for Su to give advice, it is a matter of honor and reputation, and we can't force people to do things and smash people's jobs. Cheng Baobao fanned the flames and added fuel to the fire, but his tone was contemptuous, and he didn't take Su Jincao in his eyes at all. He Lao Er replied respectfully, "Yes." The remaining disciples of the Kagura Gang immediately echoed and coaxed: "Yes, Second Senior Brother, you have to slow down your shot, your fists and feet have no eyes, I'm afraid that if you are not careful, you will accidentally injure others." "The second senior brother is a hero, one look can make him frightened, he doesn't need to do anything, what are you afraid of accidental injury?" "Yes, yes, the second senior brother is miraculous, and under the deterrence of heroism, he fled far away with his tail between his legs like a lost dog." In order to cater to the compliment of He Er, the more he said, the more outrageous it became, and He Er's nodding frequently when he heard "um, um", his expression was proud, as if he should have responded like this, and it seemed that he was extremely useful.
How could the disciples of the Agni Sect tolerate the humiliation of the master, took a few steps forward, and pointed at the Kagura Gang is a scolding, the Kagura Gang disciples were not to be outdone, and immediately ridiculed each other, the two sides did not give in to each other, shouting and arguing endlessly, just because the leaders did not speak, and the disciples on both sides only quarreled, and did not step forward to beat each other.
Seeing that Su Jincao was so calm, He Lao Er chose to speak again: "Master Su, I have heard for a long time that your Fire God Palm is powerful in the rivers and lakes, but I heard that it was the Furong Palm that stole Xu Jian in the name of closeness, no wonder you have a good relationship with him, I don't know if it is true?" ”
Su Jincao didn't get up until this time to stand still, signaled his disciples to stop arguing, and said to He Lao Er: "In the next year, I originally thought that I belonged to the same lineage of Jianghu and martial arts, and I should share the same hatred and hatred of the enemy, take into account the overall situation, and tolerate the ridicule and ridicule of your gang for a while, and I don't want the two sides to hurt the harmony because of this, and there is a gap in my heart. He Law Enforcement is interested in learning from me, but there is no need to take such pains to ridicule my Agni Gate, Kagura helped Cheng He and the two law enforcement are famous all over the world, and I have always admired them. Today, we will meet friends with martial arts, learn the essentials, and win or lose a small matter. In the future, we should also value peace and work together to hoe the brutality of the bureaucracy. He saw that He Lao Er's aggressive momentum was endless, and insulted him the most he had learned all his life in the name of stealing a teacher, and he was angry in his heart: "Although his Kagura Gang is powerful in the rivers and lakes, Cheng He and the others are young and vigorous, and they are self-defeating, and they stir up trouble everywhere!" What am I afraid of, Su Jincao? Even if he has formed a bond with the Kagura Gang this time, if he swallows his anger again, won't it make people look down on the Flame Gate? ”
After Su Jincao finished speaking, he stepped out, clasped his fists at He Lao Er and said, "He law enforcement, please!" ”
