Jianlin Villa has been standing in the rivers and lakes for more than 100 years, the founder of the villa is Shi Yonglin, Shi Wanchun father and son, both father and son are both internal and external, swordsmanship, internal force is also extraordinary, the disciples are all elites, saving the poor and helping the poor, and the reputation is far and wide, so the Jianlin Villa stands proudly in the top three of the ten major sects, for nearly a hundred years, and has only declined in recent years.

This Jianlin Villa covers an area of more than 50 acres, backed by Qianqiu Mountain, facing Yuling Lake, outside the village is a wall more than one zhang high, there are hundreds of large and small houses in the villa, it is a fortress-like building of masonry structure.

Jianlin Villa once collected thousands of famous swords, all of which were hung on the sword qi hall in the village, so it was named Jianlin. It's just that in the past thirty years, the owners of Jianlin Villa have mediocre talents, resulting in the gradual decline of Jianlin Villa, although Jianlin Villa has been removed from the top ten sects, but the current owner Shi Tianhao's reputation for justice and righteousness is still resounding in the rivers and lakes.

So when Shi Fu, the old housekeeper of Jianlin Villa, said to Tang Jiusheng and others that he would not accept everyone to stay overnight, everyone was surprised, Jianlin Villa has been famous in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, and its reputation for helping the poor is not in vain, how can it be that even such a trivial matter as staying overnight has to be excused today?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Tang Jiusheng guessed, there is really some demon who wants to come to wash Zhuangzi in blood, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, who is crazy and wants to come to Jianlin Villa to smash the field? How big is that devil? It must not be Zhu Tianba and Yue Lingbi, could it be the other two of the four demons, Du Jinluo or Gongliang Daye?

Tang Jiusheng was just about to ask, someone in the Zhuangzi asked aloud: "Shi Fu, who are you talking to?" The voice was full of anger, and when he heard it, he was a person who practiced internal family skills, and saw a young man in his twenties, wearing a red brocade robe, and a medium height walking out of the village.

Shi Fu, the kind-hearted old housekeeper, bowed to this person and said: "Young Zhuang Master, it is a few passing guests, saying that they want to spend the night, I told them that there is a demon who is coming to wash the Zhuangzi in blood tonight, but they don't believe it, what do you say?" Tang Jiusheng and the others heard Shi Fu call this person the young Zhuang master, so it must be Shi Tianhao's son Shi Pingyang?

I saw this person walking over quickly, and with a smile on his face, he arched his hand to Tang Jiusheng and the others: "Everyone, I'm really sorry! In normal times, not to mention your friends, there are twenty or thirty more, and we welcome them, but there are two demons who want to come to wash Zhuangzi in blood, and we have dismissed a lot of disciples and subordinates, just for fear of hurting innocent ......"

Tang Jiusheng also smiled and returned the salute, "Shi Gongzi, I'm sorry to ask, I don't know which demon wants to bloody Sword Forest Villa tonight?" Is it Du Jinluo or Gongliang Daye?"

Shi Pingyang was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Neither Du Jinluo nor Gongliang Daye. I thought that this person's tone was really not small, and he opened his mouth to mention the four demons.

When Tang Jiusheng heard that it was not these two, he relaxed his heart, laughed, and teased: "Then it doesn't matter, my surname is Sheng, ranking ninth, because I can't drink alcohol, I always love to leave half a bowl, so the people in the rivers and lakes give me the nickname of the leftover wine master." I'm not afraid of death in the next place, so I dare to borrow a few houses with you to live, maybe the devil comes to take a look, and the wine master has drunk wine with him at the same table, and he has a friendship, and it will be nothing if he can't keep it!"

Shi Pingyang couldn't cry or laugh when he was troubled, "This Shenggongzi, although the two demons who are coming are not Du Jinluo and Gongliang Daye, they should not be underestimated, you really can't afford to go on this troubled water! If you lack money to live in the store, I will immediately ask Shi Fu to send you fifty taels of silver, and you can avoid killing yourself when you live in the market town in front!"

The fat man laughed loudly on the side, "I said Shi Gongzi, you are generous, and when you open your mouth, you will give fifty taels of silver, but we are tired of walking, in case we turn around and walk a few steps and meet the eyeliner of those two demons, they will think that we have escaped from your village, and then we will be killed, don't you kill us?"

Shi Pingyang was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, it seemed that what the fat man said also made sense, and sighed: "Since this is the case, then please come with me!" But if something really happens, please hide in the house and keep quiet, those two demons are coming for our Shi family, if they really find you, I will also explain to them that you are just staying overnight, and have nothing to do with Jianlin Villa." ”

As he spoke, Shi Pingyang led the horses into this fortress-like villa from the side door, and walked along the bluestone paved road to the main house, Tang Jiusheng looked at it in a flash, and saw that the villa was divided into two floors, and the houses on the outer layer were neat, row by row, column by column, just like a small town, everyone was leading the horses forward, and someone came to lead the horses of Tang Jiusheng and others to the stable.

Shi Pingyang looked at Tang Jiusheng's black unicorn, and secretly said in his heart, this surnamed Sheng is probably not an ordinary person, even if it is a second-class prince's family, there will be no such thing, this is a tribute from overseas feudal states, a rare thing. If you dare to ride a unicorn on the rivers and lakes, you must have a unique skill or a strong bodyguard.

Shi Pingyang couldn't help but glance at Tang Jiusheng a few more times, Tang Jiusheng noticed Shi Pingyang's abnormal gaze, and laughed, "Shi Gongzi, if it's convenient, can you pay a visit to the old owner?"

Shi Pingyang shook his head and said: "My father is suffering from a hidden disease, and he has not seen any guests for four or five years, and the affairs in the village are now being dealt with in the lower and lower interiors, and the two devils said that they will arrive tonight, so please go to the hall first to have dinner, and then let someone clean up a courtyard for you to live in, you just have to rest, no matter what happens at night, it has nothing to do with you." ”

The fat man said: "Fat man, I have always heard that you Sword Forest Villa has friends all over the world, why, now that Sword Forest Villa is in trouble, there are no friends in the martial arts to come to help?"

Shi Pingyang sighed and said, "Such a catastrophe, even if you call your friends here, you will die in vain, so I didn't write a letter to my friends asking for help." But because of the dismissal of some subordinates, a few good friends in the neighborhood got the news that they had come to the villa out of righteousness, and they couldn't persuade them to leave. However, the strength of this demon is too strong, and I am afraid that everyone will be more than lucky this time. ”

As he spoke, he had arrived at the main residential area of Jianlin Villa, Shi Pingyang led everyone through the corridor, and then through the deep archway, at the end of the archway, climbed the stairs, first a viewing platform, turned around and looked out, the whole Yuling Lake was in full view, suddenly brightened, and then walked forward, five courtyards side by side from east to west, Shi Pingyang took everyone into the first courtyard.

Two osmanthus trees are planted in the courtyard of the courtyard

, The main house is a two-story building, wooden structure, both sides are wings, Shi Pingyang let everyone into the living room of the main room, it turned out that there were four people drinking tea in the living room, Shi Pingyang introduced to a few people, saying that this Shenggongzi and his friends were going to spend the night, everyone stood up, greeted each other, briefly introduced their names, and then it was nothing more than a long admiration, fortunately.

The four people couldn't help but look at Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang a few more times, and secretly thought in their hearts, seeing that this victorious son has an extraordinary bearing, and his two treasures are so beautiful, they must be the children of a family who have traveled the rivers and lakes, so they dare not be contemptuous in their words. After Tang Jiusheng and everyone sat down, Shi Pingyang asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food, while personally pouring tea and water, and entertaining him hobly.

Everyone was chatting, the food was served, everyone sat down to eat, and the dishes on the table were quite rich, including fish, shrimp, beef and mutton, as well as green vegetables, fungus, tofu and so on. Shi Pingyang personally accompanied him, and during the banquet, he remembered that he might not survive tonight, so he couldn't help but sigh. The fat man said unhappily: "The surname is Shi, are you afraid that we won't give money after eating?"

Shi Pingyang hurriedly apologized and said: "Jiang Gongzi, I'm really sorry, because I thought that the devil was going to attack tonight, and there would be more than one luck, so I sighed, and I definitely didn't mean to snub the guests!"

Shi Pingyang's voice fell, only to hear a woman behind the screen sneer: "Shi Pingyang, you are also a seven-foot man, look at the way you are scared!

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a beautiful woman in her twenties, wearing an azure skirt, bright eyes and bright teeth, a pair of gold earrings hanging from her ears, her eyebrows were slightly raised, she was not angry and self-threatening, and she was followed by a maid holding a sword.

Shi Pingyang stood up and said sneeringly: "Lady, why are you here?" It turns out that although this Shi Pingyang is the young owner of the villa, he has a fear of internal problems, his wife is not only higher in martial arts than him, but also has a lot of means to govern the family.

It turned out that the beautiful woman was Shi Pingyang's wife Deng Yuzhen, Deng Yuzhen glanced at the people who were eating at the table, and then said: "I heard that there are a few guests who are staying overnight in the back house, and I am not at ease when the enemy is facing tonight, so I came out to take a look." ”

Everyone got up and said hello to Deng Yuzhen, Deng Yuzhen saw that Tang Jiusheng had an extraordinary appearance, Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang were very beautiful, Song Yulan who was sitting opposite was also Chu Chu and moving, and the fat man, Yulong Xingkong and others were also different in appearance, and they were definitely not very human, so they put their hearts at ease, they were afraid that this group of people was the same party of the two demons, but now it seems that they are too worried.

Deng Yuzhen put on a smile and said: "A few friends who are staying overnight, I am afraid that there will be an accident in the villa tonight, the humble husband has always been not very good at hospitality, the slave family came to take a look, but I am afraid that I will despise you!"

Tang Jiusheng stood up and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shi doesn't have to be polite, I waited for everyone to be in a hurry and missed the town store, so I came to spend the night, I didn't know that your mansion had something to do tonight, but if you can use us and other places, I am willing to serve in the next place!"

Deng Yuzhen shook her head and sighed, "Alas, you guest don't know, I'm afraid that the Sword Forest Villa will be in a catastrophe tonight, and the foundation of the ancestors for hundreds of years will be ruined!"
