Rivers and lakes, temples.

People are always used to saying that these two places are separated, but in fact they are connected, or the temple is also a river and lake.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

And in today's rivers and lakes, there are two major forces that have to be said.

The golden wind is drizzling, and the rivers and lakes are six and a half minutes.

The former is talking about the first gang that dominates Jinghua, dominates the martial arts, laughs proudly at the rivers and lakes, and is also the leader of the world's white road forces, the Golden Wind Drizzle Building; The latter is the overlord in the underworld, the green forest, officials, and businessmen all have manpower, all have eyes and ears, and the power is wide all over the world, and the three religions and nine streams are among them, which is the indispensable six and a half halls.

The former's surname is "Su", and "Red Sleeve Knife" Su Mengzhen; The latter's surname is "Lei", thunder damage.

In fact, earlier, there was originally a big force in Beijing, which was the "Lost Heaven Alliance"; Guan Qi, the "Seven Holy Masters", dominates the world and orders both black and white; However, it was eaten away by Su and Lei, and now it has disappeared and disappeared.

Today's Jingshi is the only two.

Most of the masters of the rivers and lakes who entered Beijing were recruited by these two, and most of the various sects and factions and forces in all directions in the world were also attached to these two companies, confronting each other, stalemate, fighting, maneuvering, fighting openly and secretly.

In addition to these two, there are several extraordinary forces in Beijing, which involves the dispute between the temples.

One is the "Shenhou Mansion" founded by Zhuge Zheng, the Taifu of the Dynasty; It is precisely because of such an existence that no matter how powerful the Su and Lei families are, they must always be afraid of three points and dare not be too presumptuous.

The other is Cai Jing, the "minister of power" who is under one person and above ten thousand.

This person, the master of the criminal department wants to curry favor with him, the six doors also want to please him, and the most terrifying master of today's martial arts is also the guest secretary in his mansion, and the officials of the Beijing Division, large and small, all have to look at this person's eyes, which is terrifying.

Su and Lei are fighting openly and secretly, Zhuge Zheng and Cai Xiang are also incompatible, each wants to bring down the other party and make the other party doomed.

And the rest of the people with names and surnames, who are relatively peaceful, include the "Youqiao Group" headed by Fang Yingkan, the "Shentong Hou", and the "Dream Two Parties" formed by the rangers and heroes in Beijing......

These forces, large and small, are all entrenched in the capital division, maneuvering around to survive at the feet of the Son of Heaven, planning step by step, and fighting inseparably.

In this way, it has created the most terrible Longtan tiger's den in the world, and it is also the most thrilling and tragic rivers and lakes.

……

Sweetwater Lane.

On this day, there was a light rain in Jingshi.

Chen Zhuo was wrapped in a white and old green robe, with only a gray rope tied behind his long hair, his face was pale, and he was carrying a back rope on his back, playing a trick of changing his face, wanting to earn some money for wine and food.

Everyone knows that this is the famous Smoke Willow Lane, Goolan tile shop, green buildings and casinos everywhere, all of which are places for recreation, and it is easy to make some money with money.

The green windows on both sides are half-hidden, the smoke and rain are hazy, and many delicate girls look at it from time to time, very curious; Seeing that he was happy, he casually threw a few scattered bounties from the upper floor, fell into his back, and smashed a string of crisp sounds, or made a provocative remark.

He already knew what kind of rivers and lakes he had come to, but he was not in a hurry to become famous or famous.

For him, the normality of life is mostly ordinary, and the idle life is what most people should live; Besides, there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the capital, he always has to be careful, otherwise he will not be targeted by others.

There is another reason, he always feels that the people in this place are rejecting him...... Or maybe he's rejecting these people...... has to find a way to blend in, integrate into this era, adapt and resonate, he has to slow down first.

The straw sandals strode on the bluestone slab full of wet marks, and the smooth stone surface was glowing with a layer of blurry water, reflecting a corner of the pale cyan clothes, flying like a cloud.

was walking, and suddenly two men in strong suits stood in front of them and raised their hands to block the way, "My master invites Your Excellency to go upstairs to talk about it, and I want to appreciate my face!" ”

Anyway, it didn't matter whether Chen Zhuo was willing or not, he made a gesture of please.

In the spring rain, he looked in the direction indicated by the two, and saw the second floor of a restaurant not far away, by the window, a white-faced old man was raising a glass to him and smiling.

It turned out to be Tong Guan.

This person has moved to Taishi in the south to ask for Fangla.

As one of the "six thieves" who took "Cai Jing" as the head of the horse, and held military power, such a power was rare in the world, and he would invite such a small person as him to drink.

"Little brother, do you still know the old man?"

When I calculated, it was two or three months ago that the two met for the first time in the old temple, and I didn't want to see each other in Beijing.

Although this person is a eunuch, his voice is not small, his speech and demeanor are also heroic, and he drinks and eats meat to show the demeanor of a man in the army.

"I know it."

Calculating the time, the Jin army has broken through Zhongjing, Emperor Tianzuo has fled westward, and above the court, the Northern Expedition to destroy Liao should also come......

Tong Guan drank all the wine in the cup, dressed in a simple black robe, and his face turned whiter.

He looked carefully at Chen Zhuo in front of him, obviously looking at the age of only two ten, extremely young, but a pair of eyes seemed to be full of human feelings.

"If I hadn't passed by Sweetwater Alley, I felt that the little brother was a little familiar, and I was afraid that I would have missed it."

Seeing that Chen Zhuo was covered with rain foam and his clothes were a little shabby, Tong Guan pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "You want to be famous? ”

Chen Zhuo shook his head, "I don't want to, at least not right now." ”

There is something interesting about this, as if he wants to be famous, he will definitely become famous all over the world.

Tong Guan smiled: "Interesting, it seems that you are very confident in yourself." ”

He glanced out the window again, and sighed: "However, this capital is not easy to get ahead, the dragon is in the tiger, each is its master, and checks and balances each other...... But outside the capital, it's different. ”

Tong Guan's words changed suddenly, while holding a cup of slow drinking, holding the wine cup, while sly smiling: "With your archery skills alone, if you are on the battlefield, it is not difficult to make contributions." ”

Chen Zhuo already understood this person's intentions, and this was to recruit him.

"I want to read!"

Tong Guan was stunned when he heard it, but it seemed that it was right, it was difficult for martial artists to get ahead, especially in this year, it was even more difficult, but it was not wrong to want to study.

The puffiness on his face has long disappeared a lot, the long hair is clean, the corners of his eyes seem to be upturned willow leaves, connected with many fine lines, at first glance, he looks kind like a rich man, but there is a habit of staying in a high position for a long time, shrugging his shoulders and shrinking his head, like a squatting black-feathered vulture, with a sickly attitude between his eyebrows, hiding a gloomy atmosphere.

Chen Zhuo thought about it very seriously, and then said: "I want to read a lot of books, Taoist Buddhist scriptures, Spring and Autumn Righteousness, ancient books of poetry and books, and the wonderful principles of medicine and poison, I want to read them all." ”

Tong Guan's eyes widened, and then he narrowed suddenly, "You want to penetrate a hundred schools?" What a big ambition. ”

But he suddenly laughed again, raised his index finger and circled it in mid-air, and said with a playful smile: "However, I think you may not be idle, just sit with me and drink this glass of wine, within half an hour, I am afraid that the big and small forces in this capital will find you and target you." ”

Chen Zhuo's expression was as usual, he took the wine, and said with a slight smile: "If I find it, then I will have to be named Zhenjing Master." ”

Tong Guan was surprised, and looked Chen Zhuo up and down again, "Okay, speaking of which, little brother, you already know my name and surname, but I still don't know who your surname is?" ”

Chen Zhuo said: "Chen Zhuo! ”

Tong Guan nodded, stroked his palm and smiled, "In that case, the old man will give you a room of books, how about it?" ”

Chen Zhuo's eyes lit up, "Thank you!" ”

The rain outside the building was heavier.

Looking at Tong Guan who was going away in a sedan chair, Chen Zhuo took out a rain hat from his back, followed him downstairs, and quickly got into the rain.

Because in addition to juggling, he also has to go to the Huichun Hall to be a doctor, and he can make some money for others, but he is too poor.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the pedestrians on the street were hugging their heads and running around, Chen Zhuo walked in it, hurrying all the way, and when he walked to the "bitter water shop", he suddenly heard someone happily calling him.

"Brother Chen!"

Chen Zhuo turned his neck to look, in a messy and dilapidated ruins, there were two people standing under the eaves in embarrassment to avoid the rain, pouring rain, bean-sized raindrops were dyed by the gray and dim sky like mud soup, crackling on the grass shed, splashing small pits on the muddy ground.

It is overgrown with weeds and rotten wood and bricks.

Chen Zhuo stepped on a few bluestone slabs embedded in the mud and walked towards the two.

The two of them were protecting calligraphy and paintings in their arms, covered with water stains, and their wry smiles hid bleakness and loss.

The man who called him was a young man, young and handsome, with eyes as clear as stars, like a child who had not grown up, showing two rows of white teeth, wiping the drops of water from his hair, and smiling unhappily.

This person is also a pharmacist in the "Rejuvenation Hall", surnamed Wang, Wang Xiaoshi.

This person entered Beijing earlier than him, and he was poorer than him, so he probably had a feeling of sympathy for the same disease, so he naturally became acquainted with him.

The other one, handsome, tall, standing in the wind, wearing a brocade white robe, but there was a sharp coldness between his eyebrows, and he didn't smile, but Chen Zhuo also knew and saw two sides.

This person's name is Bai Choufei.

One of the two grabbed medicine for others in a pharmacy, the other sold calligraphy and paintings, and the other was poorer than the other.

As soon as Chen Zhuofu came in, four more people came out of the gray rain, walking in a hurry, two came in to avoid the rain, and two stayed outside.

One of them coughed so badly, choking and coughing, his shoulders trembled violently, his handkerchief covered his mouth and coughed so much that his liver and intestines were broken, his heart was torn apart, his facial features seemed to be crowded together, and his straight back was bent, and he was in great pain.

The handkerchief that the man had taken down was a shocking mass of blood.

Chen Zhuo suddenly sighed, as if he had sensed something invisibly, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and wiped out the water stains, it seemed that he didn't have to wait for others to come to him.

The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the killing opportunity has come!!
