Twenty-seven, pretend to be a hero
Seeing Xia Yulong and Lan Xin chatting very speculatively, the old man felt a little uneasy in his heart, this woman claimed to be the fire charm wick of the underworld, but it was only her words, knowing the face and knowing the person did not know the heart, if she was a spy sent by several big men, then the other party really took great pains to use the beauty trick, wouldn't Yulong be unguardable? This kid is not deeply involved in the world, and when she deceives her feelings, people are also robbed, isn't it sad?
Thinking of this, the old man asked Lan Xin: "You said that you are the fire charm wick of the underworld, then you must have some skills, can you show your hands to our grandchildren?" ”
Lan Xin hesitated for a moment, I don't know what the old man's intentions are, is he testing me? Or are you doubting my identity? In short, she kept in mind the admonition of the second elder of the dark lamp and could not be disobeyed.
Lan Xin smiled and said, "Grandpa, you also saw my skills just now, hehe, that's all there is to it, what great ability can I have as a weak woman?" She smiled a little unnaturally.
The old man rarely talked about selling off the guanzi and detouring, and he asked with a straight face: "Little demon girl, are you a spy sent by them?" ”
Lan Xin was stunned by the old man's words, she didn't know how to answer, she suddenly had endless grievances in her heart, tears rolled in her eyes, grandpa was actually doubting her identity, and called her a little demon girl, this title was so harsh, she couldn't accept it, this old man must be eating Yulong's brother's vinegar.
The atmosphere that had just eased down was back to a stalemate, and at the moment when tears welled up, Lan Xin retorted: "Grandpa, you are wrong to blame the little girl, if the little girl is really a spy, they will not be scared by me to jump off the cliff, presumably they have been crushed." ”
The old man thought to himself, if you fall from here, you will have to fall enough if you don't die, maybe I thought too much and blamed her? He looked at Blue Core, who was still sobbing, and asked, "What kind of spell are you casting, and they are so scared?" ”
Lan Xin replied: "This is the ice flame taught to me by the second elder of the dark lamp, when the patriarch and the third elder Jin escaped from the underworld, they were shot by magic arrows, and when they saw my ice flame, the arrow wounds on their bodies attacked, so that they hallucinated. ”
Xia Yulong responded on the side and said: "Grandpa, this is your mistake, I think what Lan Xin said is reasonable, you don't doubt her anymore." ”
The old man looked at Xia Yulong, then at Lan Xin, and said with a smile: "Not long after we met, my elbow began to turn out?" ”
Xia Yulong glanced at Lan Xin and said with a smile: "Originally, it is not easy for people to escape from the underworld, what kind of spy is it, it is grandpa, you are too careful." ”
At this time, Lan Xin bowed his head and was silent, his cheeks were crimson, and his heart was pounding.
The old man nodded with a "hmm" and said: "Blue Core, grandpa is an upright person, grandpa just spoke a little seriously, did not take into account your feelings, please forgive me if you offend, but grandpa is also testing you, Yulong was raised by grandpa since he was a child, I hope he will be safe and sound all his life." ”
Lan Xin looked up at the old man and said, "Grandpa, I understand your feelings, although it was the patriarch who brought me out of the underworld, I am grateful to them, but I am definitely not a spy sent by them, I can swear to the sky, if there is half a lie, the sky will thunder and ......"
Lan Xin turned his head to look at Xia Yulong, and continued: "Anyway, the little girl is also a homeless person, if you don't dislike it, I am willing to be your handmaid and serve you forever." ”
Xia Yulong shook his hand and said with a smile: "I can't help it, I can't help it, you are the princess of the ancient kingdom of Xidan, you were born noble, how can you be committed to being our maidservant, we are self-reliant on Lingshan, and suddenly we feel uncomfortable with one more person to serve?" ”
Lan Xin sighed lightly and said: "The ancient kingdom of Xidan has long since died, what princess is there, I am also a common person, I specialize in serving the second elder of the dark lamp in the underworld, I am used to it, I am good at food, clothing and daily life, you don't push it back." ”
"No, you just can't be a maidservant, there is no distinction between high and low on Lingshan, we are all a family." Xia Yulong was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
"You don't want a little girl, don't you look down on a little girl?" Blue Core also said urgently.
The old man interjected and said: "You will no longer fight, like two donkeys quarreling, Yulong is right, we are not high-ranking officials, there is no distinction between high and low on Lingshan, including these wolves, we are all a family, in the future, you will be commensurate with brothers and sisters, Yulong has an extra sister, I have an extra granddaughter, isn't it beautiful." ”
Xia Yulong clapped his hands and applauded, and responded: "That's the case, I listen to grandpa." Saying that, he turned his head to look at Lan Xin and asked, "Sister Xin'er, what do you say?" ”
Lan Xin's heart was sweet, as if she had eaten honey, but her joy was not shown on her face, she frowned, and sighed lightly: "I can't be a servant, but I became your sister, it seems that it can only be like this, and my brother will have to take care of my sister in the future." ”
Xia Yulong laughed: "Of course......
In fact, in the underworld, the temper of the little princess of the blue core has long been domesticated by the second elder of the dark lamp, and she has been accepted as an apprentice, she has done all kinds of rough work in the second elder's mansion, the ancient kingdom of Xidan has died, and Princess Xidan has long ceased to exist.
While the three of them were laughing, Lan Xin remembered what was going on, she looked at Xia Yulong and asked, "Why did the patriarch go up the mountain to find Brother Yulong?" That night, Elder Zephyr sent someone to bring the centipede to the patriarch to eat, saying that it could heal the arrow wounds on their bodies, but instead of healing the arrow wounds, their minds were controlled by the elders......
Lan Xin's face sank slightly, and he said: "Elder Zephyr is the one they talked about the most along the way, they said that if they don't arrest Brother Yulong back, Elder Zephyr can't eat or sleep, Brother will have to be careful in the future, I think Elder Zephyr will definitely not give up." ”
Listening to Lan Xin's words, Xia Yulong's face was solemn, and he was even more fascinated by his life experience, he looked at the old man and asked, "Grandpa, where am I from, where is my mother, and what kind of grudge do I have with the West Wind Clan?" There was a complaint in his words, blaming that his grandfather had never told him the truth.
The old man didn't want Xia Yulong to get involved in family feuds and grievances too early, and he was worried all day long about fighting and killing, he wanted to hide this matter, and hide if he could, but the enemy still had to come to kill them all after all, but in fact, he couldn't help himself, he struggled in his heart for a while, and only then did he tell the story of saving his mother and son on Lingshan more than ten years ago.
Listening to the old man's words, Xia Yulong couldn't cry, and made up his mind to kill those wicked people who came to sacrifice his mother and the dead clansmen, but his kung fu was still shallow and he hated himself for being incompetent.
Lan Xin comforted on the side: "It's not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years, the patriarch and the three of them have fallen into the cliff valley and have been punished, and the other wicked people will finally get their due retribution." ”
The old man was also saddened, this was a blood feud, and he had any reason to persuade Xia Yulong not to avenge his mother and clansmen? He originally wanted to take the bag to see Yulong's life history, but after careful calculation, it had only been seventeen years, and he could only follow his mother's will and wait until he reached the age of eighteen to open the bag.
In the early morning of the next day, the old man led Xia Yulong, Lan Xin, and Da Tianyi and their three brothers to the back mountain and came to the place where Xia Yulong's mother was angry.
The old man had mixed feelings and lamented: "After returning to Lingshan, I and Scar have been here many times to find your mother's remains, but in the end we have failed, and the only regret is that we have not been able to collect your mother's body and let her be buried in peace. ”
Looking at the lush weeds in front of him, tears slipped down Xia Yulong's face unconsciously......
Many times Xia Yulong and his grandfather passed by here while hunting, and his grandfather would always stop here and sigh, at that time he didn't know what his grandfather meant, and said that his grandfather was tired of walking and rested here, and he couldn't imagine that it was his mother's place of death.
The picture of his mother's tragic death appeared in Xia Yulong's mind, and he could no longer hold back the sadness in his heart, knelt on his knees, buried his head in the weeds and wept......
The crying was extremely desolate, mixed with endless longing and admiration for his mother, and the blue core standing on the side also burst into tears.
After a while, Xia Yulong took the shovel in the old man's hand, removed the weeds around, built a small mound, knelt on the ground and bowed three times before walking with the old man to the broken temple on the mountain.
Thick weeds cover the ruins of the ruined temple, the ashes in the fire have disappeared with the passage of time, the scattered mounds vaguely outline the outline of the ruined temple, and the remnant wall in the northeast corner is still standing, witnessing the change of time.
The old man looked around at the ruins of the ruined temple and said softly: "Son, bow down to your people, they have been cursed, and they have all died in this ruined temple, you have grown up, they know that they will bless you with safety." ”
Xia Yulong knelt on his knees and solemnly kowtowed a few times to the ruins of the ruined temple, he secretly swore that he must practice his skills well to avenge his clan and his mother......
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of crackling swords handing over from the back of the mountain, and when Xia Yulong and the three of them looked at each other, the three wolves had already chased after them with a hurried voice.
When I came to a bush, I saw two teams of people and horses fighting together at the foot of the mountain, one of them was dressed strangely, not like people from the Central Plains, and the other team was wearing a uniform uniform, they were numerous, and there were hundreds of people each.
After a moment of fighting, both sides were killed and wounded, and due to physical exhaustion, the two sides opened their positions and stalemate.
The black-faced strong man led by the other party shouted: "That ancient book has been searched for hundreds of years by our people and has not been found, I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of your Qianshan faction, if you know each other, quickly hand over the book to us, if you provoke our Yelang tribe to start a war with your Liang country, your Qianshan faction will not be able to get rid of it." ”
It turned out that the people who wore the Central Plains to serve this team were disciples of the Qianshan faction, and they should meet with the Yelang tribe to discuss what they thought was very important.
Zuo Tianyang, the eldest disciple of the Qianshan Sect, laughed and said, "It's just nonsense, when will we get that ancient book again?" If you are lucky enough to see the ancient book that your tribe refers to, I really want to see what subtleties it has, and it is so coveted by your tribe, and I have been looking for it for hundreds of years. ”
The black-faced strong man hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Your Excellency asked knowingly, right?" I advise you to hand over the book to us, we will take the book and leave, and never set foot in the Central Plains again, otherwise we will wash the Qianshan faction in blood, and we will not even be able to make friends at that time. ”
Zuo Tianyang looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "That ancient book doesn't even know what your tribe looks like, how can my Qianshan faction know about it, what book do you want us to give to you, this is simply a fool's dream." ”
The disciples of the Qianshan Sect all burst out laughing......
Zuo Tianyang smiled, and said: "My Qianshan sect disciples are all over the Central Plains, can you kill a small tribe?" It's just arrogant and self-sufficient, didn't you listen to the words of the big mouth? Say that the ancient book is with us? Zhang Da Mouth is a rooster and dog thief, and he was expelled from the Qianshan faction by our master, can you also believe his words? ”
The little junior sister "A Luo" beside Zuo Tianyang took a step forward, raised her sword and shouted: "Our head of the family gives you a lot of face, and we will meet you in the back mountain of Lingshan, I didn't expect you to fight us without asking questions, it was you who lost your demeanor first, so don't blame us for not recognizing people." ”
The black-faced strong man shouted: "Since you refuse to hand over the book, it is useless to say more, just wait for the two countries to go to war." ”
Zuo Tianyang sneered: "The small tribes of the border states dare to call themselves the country, it is really shameless, you have the ability to enter the Central Plains half a step, we let you have no return." ”
The Qianshan faction's words were not inferior, which provoked the other party to be furious, and they raised the weapons in their hands and shouted to kill and pounced, and the two sides fought together again.
Zuo Tianyang raised his sword and swept it, using a move to "lightly sweep the moth eyebrows", and a stream of true qi overflowed from the place where the sword flower flew, and with a few snorts, the four people who rushed to the front fell in response to the sound and no longer moved.
The group of people behind him were frightened, raised their swords and trembled and did not dare to attack, and some of them were huddled together.
Zuo Tianyang was full of ambition, snorted lightly, glanced at the other party, lowered his head, and said disdainfully: "I just gave you face, but you don't know what to do, I don't want to talk to you anymore, let you see the housekeeping skills of my Qianshan faction, if anyone is not afraid of death, just let the horse come, if I Zuo Tianyang is afraid of you, I will change my surname to You......"
As he spoke, Zuo Tianyang turned his head to look at his junior sister A Luo beside him, and winked at her right eye, with an unstoppable arrogance on his face, A Luo snorted, feeling sour all over, but she still glanced back at Zuo Tianyang, as if to say, Senior brother, you are amazing.
Affirmation of his junior sister's "flattering eyes", Zuo Tianyang was like a bull who had just woken up, he was angry and pulled out his lunge, his eyes widened, and his eyeballs were bloodshot, like a Contra waiting for a vicious battle.
The black-faced strong man shouted: "The Qianshan faction is more powerful in this cunning kung fu, let's deal with him first, this woman is his little lover, and a few other people take down this little demon girl and force him to surrender." ”
A Luo said angrily: "Hmph, you are his little lover, you are his concubine!" You're his little wife......," she said, raising her sword and speaking to the other man, stabbing away.
Although the black-faced strong man said that his body was as strong as an ox, his feet were light, and when the tip of the sword stabbed, his body turned slightly to the left, only to hear the sound of "whew", and the sharp blade grazed his right shoulder and slashed down in the air.
The black-faced strong man stood still, and said with a smile: "Little girl, don't be so rude, don't hurt yourself if you dance with knives and guns all day long, how can your senior brother take a fancy to you?" Why don't you marry me...... Oh no, brave man......"
Hearing this frivolous remark, Ah Luo was even more furious, and stabbed at the black-faced strong man one after another with his sword, shouting: "Old black charcoal, I have to kill you today......
The black-faced strong man stepped lightly on the stone and laughed as he retreated, his kung fu was obviously above Ah Luo, and all the attendants were watching the excitement, they wanted to see how a weak woman could defeat a man who claimed to be a macho man.
The black-faced strong man scolded his entourage on the left and right: "Damn, what are you waiting for, are you all eating porridge?" ”
Zuo Tianyang was worried that the lovely junior sister would suffer, so he hurriedly said: "Senior sister, be careful, you get out of the way and let the senior brother deal with them!" ”
When he raised his sword to attack, Zuo Tianyang shouted to all the senior brothers: "Don't interfere, I have more powerful kung fu, and I will definitely kill them all over the ground looking for teeth......
Before the words fell, more than 30 people on the other side surrounded Zuo Tianyang, but the junior disciples behind him did not move, and their reverent eyes were cast on Zuo Tianyang, waiting for the senior brother to perform this rare and unique skill.
Zuo Tianyang was secretly anxious in his heart, this trick "Lightly Sweeping Moth Eyebrows" was the most powerful kung fu taught by the master and his old man, but at the moment he would only use this trick.
If you always use this trick, you will definitely be seen by the other party, and you will be laughed at by the other party, and you will insult the reputation of Master Zhou Xiaozi, Master Lao Zhou cares about his reputation the most, and the apprentices all know that Lao Zhou's reputation is more important than life......
In desperation, Zuo Tianyang had to use his usual moves, and after fighting with the dozens of people for a while, he gradually felt physically exhausted, and secretly scolded all the brothers in his heart, you bunch of straw eggs, do you take what Lao Tzu said seriously, do you think I am really a bull with endless strength?
Unfortunately, Ah Luo was caught by the black-faced strong man......
In a hurry, Zuo Tianyang once again used his housekeeping skill "lightly sweeping moth eyebrows", and several people close to him fell to the ground again.
Zuo Tianyang shouted angrily: "Let go of my little junior sister, something is coming at me, what kind of hero is it if you can't get along with a weak woman?" ”
Someone in the crowd of the Yelang tribe shouted: "This person is pretending, and it is this trick to make it all the way, let's call him a pretend hero in the future!" ”
The black-faced strong man nodded, mumbled, and said with a smile: "Yes, pretend to be a hero, this name is good, it is much louder than the name of my strong and brave man......"
Since then, Zuo Tianyang's name of "pretending to be a hero" has quickly become famous in the rivers and lakes, and later the bearded man gave him a louder and harsher name called "pretending to be a hero", which is a later story.
The black-faced strong man was triumphant, and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, as long as you are willing to hand over the book, we will let her go." ”
Zuo Tianyang said: "I don't know what kind of book you are talking about, my Qianshan faction does things above board, never covets other people's things, and will not do things like chickens and dogs." ”
The black-faced strong man said angrily: "Since you are obsessed, then don't blame us for being rude......"
As he spoke, the black-faced strong man pulled out a dagger from his waist and put it on Ah Luo's neck, and laughed in a dark voice: "Little girl, don't blame me for being ruthless, if you want to blame your shrunken turtle master, I'll take you first today." ”
The black-faced strong man looked at Ah Luo's abdomen and raised the dagger, this knife will definitely be disemboweled.
Xia Yulong and the three of them on the top of the mountain were anxious, and they were about to step forward to stop the black-faced strong man's atrocity, when suddenly there was a commotion in the jungle behind everyone, and a huge black shadow rushed out at lightning speed, and at first glance, it was actually a huge monster.
