Chapter 18: Consensus (I)
In the afternoon, the temple was broken.
The stone steps of the temple gate are decorated with moss and jade.
The sky outside the temple was raining.
In this place one step away from the rain, it is indeed beautiful to gather around the stove, warm your body, listen to the sound of the rain, and eat a pot of stewed chicken with wild vegetables.
This kind of fun in suffering, watching the rain and listening to leisure, we modern people do not have the opportunity to experience it.
After all, we have air conditioning, computers, and mobile phones...... When you sit in an air-conditioned room and your eyes are on the screen, your body is naturally comfortable, and your brain is in a state of passive reception of information and can produce endorphins without much thinking, so most of us don't step out of our comfort zone to do things that are not used to or convenient.
But the ancients were different, they lived in an agrarian society where nothing was scarce, and they needed to be more active when they wanted to make their brains happy, reading, thinking, and communicating directly with each other...... For the brain, these behaviors are more tiring than watching videos or playing games, but they are the only option available to the ancients, and they are ways that have not been eliminated until modern times.
"I'll tell you, if you want to talk about this food, I've really eaten it, I don't believe you can ask casually, what kind of sandy horseshoe turtle, snowy oxtail civet ......" Zhu Chao chatted with the two imposters for a while, then opened the chatterbox, and unconsciously blew on the food.
Everyone has a hobby, and this Zhu Chao is a greedy person; he can not only eat, but also eat, and he also has a lot of research on all kinds of wine.
And what about Sun Ling and Huang Jun, they also love to listen to this...... But what do you want to say, they can't do anything, they will steal chickens and dogs, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, you talk to them about the wind and snow, what farts can they release? But what do you want to say about delicious and fun, they can be energetic, not to mention that in the early years, when they still had money in their family, they did enjoy it for a while, and they really interjected to talk about this.
So, a tomb robber and two ruffians chatted more and more happily in the ruined temple, in the words of the real Brother Sun - the atmosphere was so good.
Half an hour passed, and the three of them were eating, drinking, and chatting together, and they were already brothers.
Seeing that the atmosphere was there, the two impostors finally couldn't help it, and after the two muttered a few words softly, Sun Ling opened his mouth and asked: "Brother Zhu, there is a matter, brother doesn't know whether to ask or not......
Generally, after saying this sentence, ninety-nine out of a hundred people will ask you, and Zhu Chao is no exception: "Hehe, if there is anything that should not be asked, it is also a harmonious brother, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Sun Ling's eyes rolled and he laughed dryly: "Hey, little brother, I'm just curious and want to ask...... What the hell is your baggage full of?"
In fact, before he asked this question, he and Huang Jun had already roughly guessed what was in it.
Because when Zhu Chao chatted with them just now, he had already told them about his main business of "moving mountains and Tai Sui", and people are not stupid, you are a tomb robber, carrying a large bag of things in this barren mountain and wilderness, what do you say this looks like?
Zhu Chao was also blunt: "Hehe, this is it...... It's nothing, it's just a 'sale' that has just been placed, I went back and exchanged it for silver, first give some of it to the poor people nearby, and give the rest, my brother will treat you back well, hahaha......"
Don't look at it as a tomb robber, he is quite bold, or how can people get a "land" name on the green forest road.
It's a pity, Zhu Chao is planted today......
As soon as he said this, Sun Ling and Huang Jun suddenly became ill-intentioned: Oh, you first go and exchange the silver, and give some of it to the poor, and then you take the rest, and then take a part of it out and invite us to eat? How troublesome is that? We are also poor, why don't you give us all the burden now?
To make a long story short, it didn't take long for Sun Ling and Huang Jun to find an opportunity to quietly put some sweat medicine in his bowl while Zhu Chaomen was relieved.
It is not surprising that these two people, who usually make a living by stealing and abducting and cheating, and do not know martial arts, have some sweat medicine on their bodies; Zhu Chao has a smart nose, and the sweat medicine is colorless and tasteless, and he can't argue with it, plus he has already let down his guard against this "Sun Yihuan" and "Huang Donglai", so he fell into their way.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Zhu Chao woke up from a coma.
This night, there was no moon in sight, and when he woke up, he was in a state of not being able to see his five fingers, and when he first woke up, he felt that his head was heavy and dizzy, and his body could not exert his strength, and he ...... for a while He even wondered if he was dead and in hell.
It wasn't until a moment later that the weakness in his body slowly eased, and his head was not so dizzy, and he raised his nose again, smelling the residual smell of stewed meat in the air, and then he reacted: "Oh no!
But at this time, it was too late for him to regret it.
His baggage was gone, even the silver he had brought with him, the tools of tomb robbing, and so on.
The only thing to be thankful for is that those two impostors didn't have the courage to kill anyone, otherwise...... I'm afraid Zhu Chao even has to explain his life here.
Zhu Chao was angry, he thought to himself, he is not usually such an easily deceived person, why was he deceived by two boys who were more than ten years younger than him today.
In the final analysis, it is because the names Sun Yihui and Huang Donglai have been in the limelight recently, and Zhu Chao is also a good man, and he admires these two young heroes, so he wants to befriend them.
But he never expected that these two boys would actually play black and black with him - yes, Zhu Chao didn't react until he was robbed, and he thought that he was robbed by Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai.
Early the next morning, Zhu Chao returned to his residence, and then he locked himself in the house and drank for two days in a row.
There is no way, and it is impossible for him to report to the official...... What do you say when you go to the government? The income from my tomb robbery has been robbed? The people at the yamen will not only arrest you, but also laugh at you for being a fool.
There is a way to endure for a while, the more I think about it, the more angry I become, and I take a step back and a chicken.
Zhu Chao held back for two days, and he couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep, which made him angry.
As mentioned earlier, although he was a tomb robber, he was also a good man, and the poor neighbors in the neighborhood had received a lot of care from him on weekdays, and he couldn't be ignored when he was sick...... So I went to inform him that he had gone to worship his eldest brother.
As soon as Mei Chiyang heard that his sworn brother was sick, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and Meijiazhai was not far from where Zhu Chao lived, so he could be said to be just away.
There are some things that you can't say to others, and you can't say anything to your sworn brother?
When Zhu Chao saw Mei Chiyang coming, he sighed, sighed, and was aggrieved and annoyed to tell him about the previous encounter with "Sun Yihuan" and "Huang Donglai".
Mei Chiyang was furious when he heard this, and slapped the table on the spot and scolded: "Grandma's legs! It's so unusual! What a young hero, aren't these two black-hearted kings? They actually bullied my brother? Brother, you wait! Brother will take revenge on you!"
After shouting these words, he didn't think about it, didn't ask questions, turned his head and left. After returning to Meijiazhai, he called more than a dozen of his brothers and rode out with him.
Lulindao has its own network for intelligence exploration, and Mei Chiyang soon learned that several people with "weapons like dung forks" were heading east along the official road from the south of Xuzhou, so he ...... And he led his men after him.
Didn't think about it...... He wanted to chase "Ghost Li", but he was stunned to catch up with "Li Kui" and stopped the real Sun Yihong, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji.
Right now, when Mei Chiyang heard Huang Dong say something about "impostors", his mind didn't turn around for the first time, so he still scolded in a very unceremonious tone: "What is really fake? If you want to quibble, you also want to use clever arguments, saying that someone is pretending to be you? Is that what you have done casually that you dare not admit, can it be said that someone who is impersonating you did?"
"Then tell me, what did we do?" asked Huang Donglai.
"Hmph...... Still pretending to be garlic, right?" Mei Chiyang snorted coldly, "I want to see, the knife is on the neck, do you still pretend?"
At the moment, he made at least two mistakes.
One: Brother Huang's neck is short, and his five-ring broadsword may not be in place.
Second: He ignored the existence of Lei Buji from beginning to end.
It is true that Lei Buji's swarthy appearance, which looks like that of a thirty-year-old, has a strong sense of miscellaneous fish...... But because of this, every time he makes a shot in front of those who despise him, he will be a blockbuster.
said that it was too late, but when he saw Mei Chiyang lunging, raising his arm and drawing his knife, his wrist was slightly heavy, and the blade was horizontal, so he rushed towards Huang Donglai.
Lei Buji saw that this thing wanted to ignore himself, so he just made a mistake with himself, and he also smiled in his heart: "Heh...... When I'm dead?"
At that moment, Lei Buji turned his body and stepped up, his waist and horse were united, and he made a move to divide the mane of the wild horse, and easily stopped Mei Chiyang's knife momentum, and then he twisted his wrist and raised his fist, and attacked the opponent's armpit, immediately forcing Mei Chiyang back two steps.
"Hiss-" Mei Chiyang and Lei Buji's reactions after finishing a move were the same as those of Qin Feng, and they also gasped, secretly marveling at the strength of this black-faced coachman who was about thirty years old.
However, the difference between Mei Chiyang and Qin Feng is ...... He didn't just want to find Sun Huang to "stretch out his hand" and make two moves, he was here to help his brother avenge him, and he wouldn't give up so easily, so after a breath, he killed him again.
This time, he must be coming towards Lei Buji, because he also knows that he can't get around a hard hand like this.
Eagle City Five-Ring Knife, the knife technique is indeed good, the knife is connected to the type, is the ring ringing flash, if the thunder bursts, like a rainbow in the sky.
And Mei Chiyang's internal skills are not bad, often before the blade arrives, a force has hit first, which means that his actual attack range is wider than it seems.
However, if you really want to divide the superior, it is still Lei Buji who is better.
In this kind of actual combat, Lei Buji's combat power is a few points stronger than in the ring, because many of the boxing techniques taught by his father are too powerful, and with his cultivation, it is easy to kill people if he is not well controlled, so it is inconvenient for him to use those kung fu in the ring.
But at this moment...... It doesn't matter.
It was you, Mei Chiyang, who took the initiative to come to the door and cut it with a knife, and there was no sign of leaving your hand when you made a move...... Under this premise, I killed you in self-defense.
The next move, but seeing that Lei Buji's internal strength was violently raised, from the arm and fist, he used the two basic fist styles of "fire luck" and "rock collapse" in Lei Jia's boxing, and his fist surface was pasted with the knife, and the backhand smashed the ring, which made the blade of the big knife in Mei Chiyang's hand tremble, and then Lei Buji's upper body was like an ape hanging on the treetops, and he was entangled in the opponent's body, with the footwork at his feet, and the two wrong steps shook to Mei Chiyang's back, and according to the other party's heart, it was an elbow to the top.
Don't underestimate these two steps and this elbow, there is a special one, called "half-step dragon elephant", with a concept that is easier for everyone to understand - combo.
This kind of trick is difficult to prevent once and difficult to break twice...... It's almost impossible to defend against the first encounter, and it's very powerful, this elbow is solid, anyone, as long as you're still a person, no matter how you prevent it, it will be damaged, of course...... Again, unless you are beyond human......
Many of the moves of the Eight Desolation Fist Saint are like this, his footwork, and fist styles, may not seem too complicated at first glance, but insiders understand that the really terrible thing about these moves is that they are extremely "refined" and "efficient", and the most powerful thing about Lei Jiaquan is that you can hardly find superfluous movements from its moves, but at the same time it is endlessly varied and can adapt to all kinds of battles.
In the world of martial arts, where complex moves are the mainstream, such kung fu is rare, and it can only be created by a true master.
Mei Chiyang has personally learned today, the "half-step dragon elephant", one grid, one move, one turn, one top...... Halfway through the move, Lei Buji entered Mei Chiyang's blind spot, and when his elbow hit Mei Chiyang's heart, the latter even felt that he might die......
Fortunately, Lei Buji is still kind-hearted, and after learning "being a man and leaving a line" with Sun Huang for so long, he also understands a little bit of proportion, but after all, he didn't do his best.
After this blow, Mei Chiyang staggered forward two steps, knelt down on one knee, and the tip of his knife supported the ground.
Seeing that the owner of the village had suffered a loss, his brothers were in a hurry, and they all turned over from their horses and got ready to go together.
"Don't move!" But when Mei Chiyang saw this, he stopped his brothers in time.
He adjusted his breath, stood up straight again, and looked back at Lei Buji: "Hmph...... Lei Shaoxia, right? What a handsome kung fu......" He paused and continued, "Dare to ask your subordinates at the moment, do you look down on Mei?"
"Hey, don't be ignorant. Lei Buji said, "Just now, my brother Huang asked you to tell me what's going on, and you just started without saying anything, so I took action to stop you...... Now I've told you everything, but you still haven't told you why you're looking for us. ”
Mei Chiyang listened, paced a few steps, and then stood to the side with his brothers, then thought about it, and then said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll talk about it...... Just a reminder of the 'good deeds' you have done. ”
