Chapter 85: Horse Thief Clever Girl
Although Gu Chaoci was deeply injured, he also ran out for dozens of miles in one go.
There are five peaks in this Wutai Mountain, and he did not go out of Wutai Mountain just in case, but escaped into the depths of the Jinxiu Peak of Wutai Mountain. After turning around, I arrived at a valley, found a cave, and moved a few boulders to seal the entrance of the cave, and then began to heal.
When Gu Chaoci was injured by Murong Bo and others last time, he was losing his true qi to protect his body, and he was able to recover after seven days.
Although the injury this time was not light, and he received many heavy blows, but when he was hit this time, he always had Jiuyang Divine Skill to protect his body, thus canceling out most of his strength, taking a pill of the Xiaoyao Sect elixir "Nine Turns Bear Snake Pill", and then using Jiuyang True Qi to induce medicinal power, and in the middle of the night, he spit out three mouthfuls of blood stasis, and the internal injuries were gone.
He rested for the night, and the next day was refreshed. Out of the cave, I saw the east spitting out the azure glow, the mountains are like washing, fresh and charming.
The heart is extremely happy, this time he killed the "Dragon Descending Arhat" of the Divine Mountain, although he failed to kill Xiao Yuanshan, but his leg was broken, and he was taken away by the Shaolin Temple again, he will definitely be strictly guarded, and if he wants to fix the moth, he is also out of reach.
Gu Chaoci didn't think about going to Shaolin Temple for trouble at this time, and immediately headed for the Vulture Palace, as for the so-called "Luo Tianfu people", except for Yue Laosan, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Before he went to Qingliang Mountain, he told Yue Laosan in advance that as long as he ordered a scuffle, he would leave immediately, go to the town where he once stayed, take out some of the martial arts secrets and poison techniques he had recorded, collect the surviving "Luo Tianfu people" along the way, teach them as appropriate, and then take them door to door to take revenge on those who had been to Mantuo Villa.
He and Ah Zi also owe each other, whether they are dead or alive, they both depend on each other's creation.
Gu Chao resigned from Wutai Mountain and walked towards the main road. After walking for more than ten miles, there was a sound of horses' hooves like a shower, but the sound of hooves was very neat in the gallop, implying rhythm.
When I looked back, I saw a person and a horse galloping, and then I thought that I was going to the Vulture Palace, which was thousands of miles away, and I had to get a horse.
The horse was black, the horse was abnormal, and it was in front of him in a moment, and the rider was wearing a green shirt, in his fifties, with a long beard fluttering, a delicate face, carrying a long sword, and the yellow sword spike fluttering in the wind, and the momentum was extraordinary.
Gu Chaoci saw him galloping past him. Immediately jumped into the air, unbeknownst to the gods, and the ghost swept on the horse's back.
Gu Chao's speech is wonderful, this horse is even more extraordinary, although there is one more person, the gallop is not slightly reduced, and immediately this swordsman is at a loss.
Gu Chaoci looked at this person's figure, he was also a martial artist, he sat on his own, he didn't realize it, and he was covered by him, so he was not angry, but if he beat him down with one palm, it seemed that he was not only robbing the horse but also suspected of sneak attack, which was too embarrassing.
After thinking about it, he blew a breath, and the man was immediately shocked, but his martial arts were extremely not weak, he never turned back, and he came over with an elbow, "bang", this elbow was in the middle of Gu Chaoci's ribs, but he seemed to be on the copper wall, and his blood was surging, and his body swooped forward, and he suddenly looked back.
Gu Chaoci stretched his head forward, and with a shout of "ah", he made a shocked look, and the man was immediately shocked, and he let go of his breath, and with a "bang", he fell down.
Only then did he cry out, but one foot was hanging in the horse's pedal, unable to pull out, and was dragged by the horse galloping for dozens of meters, but fortunately his martial arts were not weak, his body stood up, and he used the other foot to point the ground from time to time, otherwise he would have to be held to death.
But this posture also made it difficult for him to hold on, and he couldn't pull out the sword on his back.
Gu Chaoci laughed, stretched out his hand to pull his foot out and dropped it, and said loudly: "This is your own first move, and you accidentally fell off the horse with another move, I got on the horse to save you, not to rob your horse." ”
At that time, the horse was very fast, and when Gu Chaoci spoke, he had galloped dozens of feet, and he finished speaking happily, even he himself believed that this was the case.
Sitting firmly on the saddle, the trees on both sides flashed by, thinking of going to the Vulture Palace, you can meet Wang Yuyan, and it is logical to get married. Thinking of this, I was even more agitated, and I didn't feel stupid.
The Eagle Palace is far away in the ethereal peaks of the Tianshan Mountains, and it first has to go west to Shaanzhou, Jiezhou, and Hezhongfu on the Yongxing Military Road, turn to the northwest, and go to the Tianshan Mountains along the border.
At noon on this day, he rode into Chang'an City.
Chang'an is an important town in the northwest, known as the "ancient capital", with prosperous people, crowds, and businessmen.
Gu Chaoci is now famous, and he doesn't want to show off, he wanted to pick a small restaurant to drink a few bowls of wine, rest for a while, and then hurry.
Immediately, the silk reins were reined, and the horse "Xi Yuyu" neighed a few times, but he didn't stop, walking on his own, Gu Chaoci even stranded several times, it was like this, he didn't want to use his magic skills to shock the horses, but he was very curious in his heart, so he simply let go of the silk reins to see where it went.
Not long after, the horse actually arrived at a restaurant with "Taibai drunk" hanging on it, and stopped moving.
Gu Chaoci didn't want this horse to be a gentleman in wine, and he had a high taste, so he didn't care about the idle wine shop.
He was richly dressed, handsome, angry like a dragon, and two men in green clothes and small hats came out early, caught the reins of the horse, and acted swiftly and neatly.
Since ancient times, the people in Chang'an have been fierce, advocating martial arts, and naturally there are quite a lot of thieves.
The guy reported the good dishes of the restaurant at a price of a lot, and said that this was the place where the great poet Li Bai was drunk back then. Emperor Tang Ming issued an edict to summon him to the palace to compose lyrics, and he also claimed that "the minister is a fairy in wine, and the Son of Heaven will not be on the boat." ”
Gu Chaoci was overjoyed in his heart, threw off the saddle, dismounted, and said, "Give me a few catties of good wine for this horse, and then prepare high-quality forage, so that I can serve it." ”
Suddenly, a guy pulled his companion, looked at the horse, and looked Gu Chaoci up and down a few times, quite suspicious, but then lowered his eyebrows and raised his hand, and one person said to the other: "Let's beat ten catties of sorghum first." ”
Gu Chaoci's eyes were sharp, and he couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: "Could it be that this horse is also a frequent visitor here?" ”
As he thought to himself, the horse seemed to understand his fellow's words, and he was very happy. The bottom of my heart sank, and it seemed that eighty percent of it was like this.
But he was a master of art and boldness, and he didn't take it seriously, so he immediately climbed the stairs and came to the second floor to pick up a pair of window seats. I ordered a few delicate side dishes and asked for ten catties of liquor.
In between the drinks and food, a guy who was just right to welcome the guests ran upstairs to a black-bearded Taoist and whispered a few words.
Gu Chaoci was cautious, looked at the six roads, and immediately moved in his ears, and heard him say: "Dao Chief, Mr. Zhuo's horse has arrived." ”
He looked at the Taoist, and saw a whisk on his desktop, with a dashing expression, about fifty years old, and said in his heart: "Mr. Zhuo, is that the one who fell off the horse?" This person doesn't seem to be an idle person, do they have an appointment? I just broke in? ”
But wherever he goes alone, there is nothing to fear in the world, even if he thinks about it.
In a moment, the food and wine are ready.
After Gu Chaoci tried it, he felt that there was nothing wrong, so he was feasting, eating happily, and suddenly felt a slight cold behind him, he reached out and leaned out, just caught a hand, this hand had just been inserted into his backpack, as soon as he caught it, as if it was held by steel, he couldn't help but let out a "ah".
Everyone looked at it and immediately understood that this was someone who had used "empty hands" and walked away.
Upstairs was in an uproar, and a guy rushed forward and asked in surprise, "Childe, is this little girl a thief?" ”
The shopkeeper also ran over, looking embarrassed.
Gu Chaoci turned around and saw that a little girl was standing in front of her with a red face, a soft and boneless, slender white hand falling into her grasp.
She looked very scared, and her hand pulled back a few times, as if it was embedded in a stone pillar, where could she move?
As soon as Gu Chaoci started his hand, he knew that it was a woman's hand, so he retracted his strength in time, otherwise he would have pinched off her hand just now.
Take a look at her, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a green shirt, round face and big eyes, a small dimple at the corner of the mouth, and a windy face with a frosty face.
But I saw that she looked at herself with a pair of big black eyes and a look of horror. Gu Chaoci's heart softened, let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "This is my family's wonderful sister, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I didn't expect to be so noisy, Xiao Er, add another pair of bowls, and the wine and food will be served again." ”
The shopkeeper was relieved, the restaurant thief is not very good looking at business, and it is not harmful for brother and sister to play around.
But he has opened a restaurant for decades, and his vision is very poisonous. What kind of brother and sister are these?
But the businessman is talking about harmony and making money, how can he not look for him, but find the truth of things himself, and immediately follow Gu Chaoci's words, and send wine and food cups up.
Some of the people upstairs knew that Gu Chao had let go of this little thief girl, but only the black-bearded Taoist suddenly had a pair of eyes that flashed, and then disappeared, with a blank expression, pondering.
The little girl had no choice but to sit at the table, her blushing face had not yet receded, and she was bitter in her heart.
She is also from a famous family, she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, this time she went out to find someone, and she lacked entanglement along the way, so she had to "empty hands", but she didn't take it much, and she never missed it.
Now I heard the other party call her "Wonderful Girl", obviously she is the nickname of a thief, I don't know what this kid is doing.
How did she know that Gu Chaoci walked the rivers and lakes, and he was missing the entanglement, either to steal the treasury silver of the official mansion, or to rob the big dogs, plus he had just robbed people's horses a few days ago, so he had no prejudice against the people on the green forest road.
Besides, almost all the people in the rivers and lakes are like this, even big heroes like Qiao Feng are not exempt from vulgarity. If you don't have any money, you will steal and rob it. You must not wronged yourself, but you have great ability, and you will not be caught.
Those gentlemen who dare to show their skills to Gu Chaoci, he may be spicy, but he is naturally a little more tolerant of "wonderful hand girls". smiled and said, "Wonderful girl, where are you going?" ”
Seeing that no one was paying attention to the surroundings, the little girl bit her teeth lightly and whispered: "Wonderful hands, wonderful hands, big brother, are you good to save these two words, it's hard to hear." ”
Gu Chao said in his heart, you were arrested, and you were afraid of what people would say, but when you saw her coquettish, she stopped ridiculing. said: "Okay, then it will be saved!" You and I are here together, it's also fate, let's talk about it, are you in a hurry and missing the entanglement, or do you have something on my body that you have taken a fancy to? ”
He thought that if the other party was missing the plate and found him, it would be fine, if the purpose was clear, it would be another matter.
The girl's pretty face was covered with blush, and she said in a low voice: "I've been out for a long time, and I've spent all my money, so it's ...... That's ......"
Gu Chaoci saw that she didn't look like a fake, and nodded: "Okay!" As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot, put it on the table, and said, "I'm in a good mood today, you can take it and use it!" ”。
The girl was very dazed, and said: "Your martial arts are very good, you are also a martial arts person, why don't you beat me, and give me gold?" ”
Gu Chaoci smiled and said, "Since you know that I am from the martial arts, wouldn't it be laughed at if I beat you up as a little girl?" ”
The girl nodded: "Oh too! Big brother, then I'll ask you about someone, okay? ”
Gu Chaoci said: "Let's hear it!" ”
The girl said: "Big brother, have you heard of Duan Yu?" ”
Gu Chaoci was very surprised and said, "Duan Yu? The prince of Dali Zhennan? ”
"Uh-huh......"
The girl was very excited, her eyes shone with joy, and she nodded again and again.
Gu Chaoci saw her expression and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Judging from his reaction, the girl knew that he must have recognized Duan Yu, but when she heard this, her face flushed, and she said in a low voice: "My name is Zhong Ling, big brother, do you really know him?" ”
Gu Chaoci suddenly realized in an instant, this is another woman trapped by love, and said with a smile: "You are looking for a lover for thousands of miles?" ”
Zhong Ling's face was red again, he was very happy, but he said in a deep voice: "He's ...... He may have forgotten about me. ”
Her father "kills people when he sees them" Zhong Wanqiu, and Duan Yu's father Duan Zhengchun formed a deep enmity, and was killed by Duan Yanqing's design in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations that day, and gave Duan Yumu Wanqing, ate "Yin and Yang and Hesan", and wanted the brother and sister to do incestuous things.
Zhong Wanqiu also invited Dali martial arts people to watch, but when Duan Yu came out of the stone house, he actually held the disheveled Zhong Ling in his arms, and Zhong Wanqiu, who harmed others and did not harm himself, was half angry.
Zhong Ling and Duan Yu fought together in the immeasurable sword to fight melon seeds, and also went against the Shennong Gang, a series of things, which made him already have a good impression of him.
After this incident, I thought that I would definitely become Duan Yu's wife, but who knew that there was no follow-up. I couldn't get angry, so I went to Zhennan Wangfu to inquire, only to learn that after Duan Yu left the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations that day, he came to the Central Plains for Gu Mozhi shortly thereafter.
For the sake of her sweetheart, she left Dali on her own to find all the way, and searched for half a year, but she couldn't hear the slightest message, and she was entangled, her martial arts skills were not high, and she only dared to steal by skillful skills.
Gu Chaoci knew that this woman had been looking for more than two years in the Central Plains for the sake of Duan Yu, until he heard that Shaolin Temple was going to hold a hero conference and a big war would break out, so he went to Shaomu Mountain and was able to meet Duan Yu in Qiao Feng's former residence.
Now where is this, seeing that her face is getting redder and redder, but it is difficult to hide the traces of wind and frost, I can't help but sigh secretly: "Love is really incomprehensible!" But now that there is no Duan Yanqing, you will never be possible. Immediately said: "Duan Yu's father and your mother, didn't your mother tell you?" ”
Zhong Ling was very surprised: "His father and my mother, what's the matter?" After Brother Duan and his father left my house that day, my mother fainted, and she has been in poor health since then, and she burst into tears when she saw me. I teased her, but she wouldn't say a word. ”
Gu Chaoci thought to himself: "It seems that this woman still doesn't know her relationship with Duan Yu!" But seeing that she was innocent, she couldn't bear to tell the truth, so she said: "Duan Yu should go back to Dali with his father at this moment." ”
Zhong Ling thought of what Duan Zhengchun said to Zhong Wanqiu outside the stone house of the "Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations": "Ling Ai has been serving the child Duan Yu in this stone house for a long time. Lonely men and widows, naked and hiding in a dark room, what good can be done? My son is the prince of Zhennan, although he may not be able to marry Ling Ai as the princess, but he has three wives and four concubines, why not? Haven't you and I become in-laws? ”
Thinking of this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? Big brother, are you serious? ”
Gu Chaoci nodded and said, "It's true, he and Mu Wanqing are together!" Go back to Dali! ”
As he spoke, he took out five ingots of gold and handed them to Zhong Ling, after all, this is another little sister, and her personality is much better than Ah Zi, give her more, and she will not be offended on the way.
In Zhong Ling's puzzled eyes, he stood up: "Man, settle the bill." ”
He was full of food and drink, anxious to get on the road, and did not want to delay.
The guy ran over and asked, "What?" Uncle, this is leaving? ”
Gu Chaoci smiled and said, "If you don't leave, you can't live here?" ”
The guy was confused, confused, and didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, the black-bearded Taoist reluctantly shouted: "Little friend, what are you making trouble? ”
Gu Chaoci's eyes sharpened, and he said faintly: "Dao Chief, what do you mean by this?" ”
The Taoist said: "Aren't you here to help Zhuo Bufan, since you have already arrived here, why are you busy leaving?" ”
Gu Chaoci suddenly felt that the name Zhuo Bufan seemed to have been heard somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Zhuo Bufan?" Who is he? ”
The Taoist immediately changed color, slammed the table, Huo Ran stood up, shook the dust in his hand, and shouted: "Are you playing tricks, or are you deliberately entertaining the poor Dao?"
Zhuo Bufan and Poor Dao made an appointment to judge and fight here, you rode his horse, obviously to stand up for him, otherwise he regarded this 'snow stepping black horse' as his life, how could he lend you? ”
Gu Chaoci laughed in his heart, it turned out that the owner of this horse came to the appointment, but was robbed by himself, whether it was him or his buddy saw that he came on this horse, they all misunderstood, and smiled slightly: "Dao Chief, I really don't know anything Zhuo Bufan in the lower commission, this horse ...... Someone lost this horse halfway, so I picked it up. ”
Speaking of the origin of this horse, seeing Zhong Ling looking at him fixedly, he couldn't help but blush, and some words flickered, although he was thick-skinned, but with his martial arts reputation, he was really a little embarrassed.
The Taoist examined him for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, the laughter was sharp and piercing, like a night owl, and the window buzzed.
The Taoist priest has deep internal strength, and he is by no means an idle person, and the people on the side saw that the situation was not good, and they all stood up.
After a while, the Taoist stopped laughing and said, "Little brother, you are very good, very good, you have spoken out for me!"
Zhuo Bufan's old man was pretentious, he smeared gold on his face, and made a name of 'Sword God', I don't feel comfortable listening to it, and I don't buy his account!
Xiaoyou, you can put him together, you are really brave and knowledgeable, and your skills are extraordinary! ”
When Gu Chaoci heard the word "Sword God" and his self-proclaimed "Unjust Daoist", he suddenly realized something, and lost his voice: "Sword God? He is the sword god Zhuo Bufan? ”
Suddenly, I heard a loud shout: "It's your grandfather!" ”
With a "click", the two windows suddenly flew up, hitting Gu Chaoci and the Taoist priest respectively, and then a person flew in like a strange bird, shouting: "Horse thief, where to run?" ”
Gu Chaoci snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and a strong wind rushed out, and the window crashed into the person who flew in.
The man was not to be outdone, and swept out the dust. There was a "bang", and the window sash flew towards the man.
The person who came was still unstable, and when he saw the power attached to the two windows, he did not dare to underestimate it. Suddenly, the long sword was unsheathed, the white light flashed, "Kara" a few sounds, the two windows became four halves, and the long sword flashed, and there were two "bells", and two halves were dialed to the unjust people.
The body of the uneven Daoist floated and rose straight into the air, like a bat, and the body was extremely wonderful. Both windows flew under his feet and smashed against the walls, sending sawdust flying everywhere.
Gu Chaoci couldn't help but shout: "Relying on the wind is so light." ”
He is a connoisseur of knowledge, seeing that the waist of the uneven road is not straight and the knee is not bent, he floats a few feet high, chic and elegant, and lifts weights lightly, just this hand, a proper first-class master in the world. Ordinary people don't have this ability in their lifetime!
He himself is certainly not among them.
The person who came sneered and said: "Seeing that your palm strength is not weak, and your internal strength is profound, but you don't have any knowledge, but you cheer him up, this old way is faster, but there are two ways to beat people, there are two times to escape, what are you doing with a real knife, hehe......" The corners of his mouth were crooked, and he had a sense of disdain.
Gu Chaoci glanced at this person in a blink of an eye, and saw that he had a long beard and a delicate face, it was the one who was intimidated by himself from the horse, and it must be the "Sword God" Zhuo Bufan.
The face of the uneven Dao turned green with anger, and he pointed at the dust halberd, and said angrily: "Zhuo Lao'er, come on, come on, you and I will fight the three lilies first, and see who escapes!" ”
Zhuo Bufan sneered: "Unjust Daoist, the matter between you and me will be postponed!" ”
Saying that, the long sword pointed at Gu Chaoci: "The horse thief is a thief, and he will be killed." ”
When Zhong Ling heard this, he stared at Gu Chaoci with a pair of big eyes, touched a few ingots of gold from himself, and a thought rose in his heart: "He is also a stolen horse!" No wonder it's so good to me! We turned out to be peers! ”。
Gu Chaoci naturally didn't know what Zhong Ling was thinking, but when he heard this, he glanced at Zhuo Bufan and said with a smile: "With such a big breath, it seems that the invincible and invincible sword god Zhuo Bufan in the world!" ”
Zhuo Bufan heard him say that he was invincible in the world, which was exactly what he thought in his heart, he was very proud, he stroked his long beard with his left hand, and said slowly: "You little doll also has a little knowledge!" Report your name, maybe I still have some friendship with your parents, and it won't hurt your life! ”
Gu Chaoci shook his head and sighed: "You really have to pretend at any time!" ”
