Lu Ji woke up in shock, his mind was still groggy, looking at the sky outside the window, it was about midnight. He reached out and rubbed his temples to relieve the headache after drinking.

I don't know how long it took, but my headache subsided a little, and I was about to close my eyes and fall asleep. I only heard a few taps on the window lattice.

Lu He was startled and shouted softly: "Who?"

The man outside the window said softly, "The person in the house is surnamed Lu?"

Lu Ji was surprised and said, "It's Lu Ji...... Are you?"

The man didn't squeak, but with a wave of his right hand, a mass of things was thrown in through the window.

There was a candle lighting in the room, Lu He saw it clearly, stretched out his hand to catch it, the tentacles were extremely gentle, and he opened it suspiciously, and it turned out to be a paper ball, on which the words "Qinhuai Flower Boat" were written.

Lu didn't know what he meant, and was about to ask out loud, when he heard someone outside shouting, "What kind of person? What are you doing sneakily?" followed by the sound of fists and feet, and the two actually fought. Listening to the voice, it seems to be the master of Cheng Hall.

Lu He put away the note, got dressed and got out of bed, and opened the door, only to see that the master of the hall was fighting fiercely with a black-clothed masked man. Some of the disciples of the beggar gang had already lit torches for lighting. Someone shouted, "There are assassins!" and the disciples who were hiding in the shadows rushed in all directions.

The black-clothed masked man punched violently, punching to the flesh, obviously practicing foreign kung fu. Lu Ji couldn't see what kind of sect his martial artists came from?

Master Cheng Tang used the Five Elements Fist to fight the enemy, exerting all his skills, pressing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and using snakes, cranes, dragons, tigers, and leopards as fist shapes, and restraining each other, both offensive and defensive, but no matter how much he did not leak, he still couldn't take advantage of the slightest advantage.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them have passed forty or fifty moves, and they are still equal in chess and drums, and the two sides have neither chance of winning nor defeating.

The black-clothed masked man's martial arts Although he was not weak, Hall Master Cheng could use the Dragon Descending Eighteen Palms to injure the other party several times. I just don't know why he abandoned it. It wasn't long before several elders arrived. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to him, the man didn't dare to fight, so he looked at Lu He's side, swung his fist and attacked fiercely, forcing Cheng Tang Master to retreat a few steps, taking the opportunity to retreat, turning around and going over the wall after a few ups and downs.

Several elders wanted to chase after them, but they were stopped by Hall Master Cheng.

Elder Bai said, "This person is using immeasurable palm techniques?"

Elder Hu Baishun Hu of the Purifying Clothes Sect shook his head and said noncommittally: "The immeasurable palm is a combination of rigidity and softness...... However, this person has a strong and fierce fist fighting style all the way to the south, which is very different from the immeasurable palm style in the north...... I don't think so. “

Elder Bai said, "This person is not the one who injured Elder Sun and Zhu a few days ago, who is he?

Everyone shook their heads, also confused, and couldn't guess the clues.

Hall Master Cheng looked at Lu He suspiciously, and said, "Deputy Hall Master Lu, that person didn't hurt you, right?"

Lu He shook his head and said, "No......" I was thinking about whether to tell the note.

Cheng Tang said: "It's good if you don't have it...... Everything needs to be taken care of. “

Lu said: "I know below, please be more careful." “

Seeing that it was just a false alarm, everyone didn't care very much, and after a while, they dispersed.

After everyone left, Lu He lay on the bed alone, but he couldn't sleep anymore, secretly took out the note, read it several times, and couldn't see anything famous. I thought to myself, "Qinhuai Flower Boat"? How can it be related to the Qinhuai Flower Boat? Could it be that this Qinhuai Flower Boat is hiding some big secret? Could it be that the person knows that I am going to find Bai Rushuang? Or did he prompt me to go to find Bai Rushuang? How did he know my name...... These mysteries landed in confusion and left him puzzled.

The next day, Hall Master Cheng specially arranged for a disciple from the beggar gang to accompany Lu and left and right, not leaving an inch. said that it was for Lu Ji's safety, maybe the enemy had noticed him, and asked him not to go far alone, not to talk to irrelevant strangers, not to easily reveal his identity, and to believe some unprovoked words from others.

Lu knew that he had doubts in his heart, and suspected that he had something to do with the masked man last night, and deliberately put a nail beside him. pretended not to know at the moment, but agreed resignedly. Xin said: "Are you worried about my safety, or are you afraid that I will know what you are?

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching. The beggars helped everyone clean up early. Everyone went to the bank of the Qinhuai River and waited for the meeting of the flower boat.

The Qinhuai River belongs to the Yangtze River, is a tributary of the right bank of the Yangtze River, called Longzangpu in ancient times, called Huaishui since the Han Dynasty, and renamed Qinhuai after the Tang Dynasty. The Qinhuai River has two sources in the north and south, the north source Jurong River originates in the southern foot of Jurong Baohua Mountain, the south source Lishui River originates in Jianye Lishui East Lushan, the two rivers converge in Jiangning Fangshan Dai to form the main stream of Qinhuai River, bypass Fangshan Mountain to the northwest to the outer city Shangfangmen, flow into Jiankang City from Dongshuiguan, cross the main city from east to west, flow out from Xishuiguan in the south, and flow into the Yangtze River.

The so-called Qinhuai flower boat is a folk custom of Jiankang people to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, all the daughters of wealthy households, the ladies of the eunuchs and even the famous singers of the Qinglou, regardless of their dignity and inferiority, prepare boats, or put lanterns in the river, or sit in the boat with drums and pianos, all the way with the waves, along the river, to show that the whole world celebrates and enjoys with the people.

Of course, as "the gold powder land of the six dynasties, ten miles of Qinhuai River". The Qinhuai River has been filled with a strong smell of rouge powder throughout the ages. The gold powder archway on both sides of the strait is lined up one after another, and the commercial shops face the river and sit, not only the festival is so, but also the painting boat Lingbo at night, the sound of oars and the light and shadow; the red sleeves are fragrant, and the sheng song accompanies the banquet, which is extremely prosperous. It has always been a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, such as a place for beautiful flowers.

The hour is still early, there is no flower boat drifting, on the banks of the Qinhuai River, there are already gathered tourists who are looking forward to it, there are rich businessmen, eunuchs, literati and inkmen, fair ladies...... It's very lively.

Standing by the river, the breeze is blowing, although it is already summer, Lu He still feels a little cool. But seeing the beauty on both sides of the river, I don't feel my heart swaying, and I can't say that my heart is relaxed.

Lu He deliberately dressed up carefully today, dressed in a silk brocade robe, with a colorful square scarf on his head, and a folding fan in his hand swaying gently, like a rich son. The accompanying beggar gang disciple of the Dirty Clothes Sect also deliberately washed his cup clean, and dressed up as a scholar accompanying him.

Hall Master Cheng and Elder Bai all the way, in order not to attract attention, only followed behind Lu Ji suddenly.

Until the hour passed, only a drum sound, the sound of firecrackers, the tourists along the shore suddenly cheered, and there was a lot of boiling. Someone shouted, "Come on!"

Sure enough, a painting boat came slowly along the river from afar, the flag on the boat was displayed, the colorful satin fluttered, and a five-colored flag hunting sound on the top of the boat, and the three big characters of "Jade Building" were written on it. At the bow of the boat, a young girl with pink face and red makeup stood in the wind, and behind her were several singers dancing to the crisp sound of silk and bamboo.

As the painting boat approached, someone said: "This is the famous prostitute Yu Yue'er of Jinling Jade Building." “

Lu followed the sound and looked carefully, and saw that his moth eyebrows were lightly depicted, and the powder was thin, although there was no appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, but it also had the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, which was really extraordinary and extraordinary. I couldn't help but praise in my heart: "Good look." I thought that the girl who was as white as frost was called "Qin Huai Fairy", and I was afraid that she was ten times more beautiful than Yu Yue'er, the top prostitute of the Jade Building. If not, how can you call yourself a "fairy"?

Next, the painting boat swayed gently, the boats were endless, all of them were surrounded by brocades, different colors, some were full of colorful flags, some were full of flowers, some were full of poems, calligraphy and paintings, and some were extremely luxurious...... The women on the boat also have different shapes, beautiful and beautiful colors, which are not comparable to ordinary market women. Every time they pass by, the tourists all cheer and clamor and high-five.

Lu Ji has been looking forward to seeing the white girl. However, until the sun went down and the lanterns were first on, one or two hundred boats had passed, and there was still no boat with "Qinhuai Fairy" written on it, and I couldn't help but feel disappointed. Could it be that the white boat has already passed, but the words "Qin Huai Fairy" are not written on her boat? Or is it that she has no intention of coming today at all? Thinking of this, I can't help but think of the person who threw her note two nights ago. Who is that man? What is the purpose of the "Qinhuai Flower Boat" written on the note? Does the Qinhuai Flower Boat he mean by the white boat, or does it mean something else?

For fear of missing the flower boat, Lu He didn't even want to eat lunch, and at this time he only felt hungry and very hungry.

I was trying to ask the beggar who was pretending to be a scholar to help his disciple buy something to satisfy his hunger. I only heard a sound of percussion, mixed with the sound of silk bamboo and the sound of stroking the qin, coming from far away from the upper reaches of the Huai River, which was crisp and refreshing to the ears. Someone shouted again: "Look, isn't it the fairy Qinhuai who is coming?" Everyone was silent, and in an instant there was thunderous applause, and a shout and shout resounded on both sides of the Huai River.

Lu Ji's spirits were lifted, and he had already forgotten all about his hunger, staring intently at the gradually approaching painting boat in the river.

I saw that the painting boat was completely different from other boats that had sailed before, and the makeup of the bells and whistles had been changed, but a seven-colored flag was still hanging high on the flagpole on the top of the boat, and the four big characters of "Qinhuai Fairy" were written in black on a white background. On the left and right sides of the bow stand two bamboo poles, as high as several meters, on each hanging two pink lanterns, the lantern on the left is written "Taiping", and the lantern on the right is written "Tianxia". There was a slender woman sitting in the boat, with a white plain dress and a beautiful jade face like a hibiscus out of the water, which was even more different from the heavy makeup and glamorous makeup of other women in the boat. The woman sat upright, deaf to the noise on both sides of the strait, it was the "Qinhuai Fairy" who was famous and healthy, and it was as white as frost. Beside her, two girls in their teens, also dressed in white plain clothes, were waiting on the left and right. At the stern of the boat, a man dressed in a hat and a double oars stood majestically.

But seeing that the white jade fingers are as white as frost, and the red lips are lightly soothing, and the red lips are lightly soothing the piano and singing:

"The willow is straight, and the smoke is blue. On the Sui embankment, I have seen a few times, and the water is floating to see off the color.

Ascending to look at the homeland, who knows the tired guests of Beijing? Changting Road, the years have passed, and the soft strip should be folded over a thousand feet......"

The voice is still there, delicate and crisp, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, which makes people listen, as if drunk and infatuated, and suddenly it seems that the five inner emptiness become pure and have few desires, ignoring the glory and wealth of the world, fame and fortune.

The sound of singing was heard along the banks of the river, and those who had been noisy and restless immediately became silent and silent, and no one could bear or was afraid to make the slightest sound, which suddenly interrupted the sound of the immortals outside the world.

I only listened to the light ripple of Huai Shui, the sparkling microwave, white as frost, and the flushed face, and then sang:

Idle looking for old traces, and drinking while mourning, the lamp shines on the table. Pear blossom elm fire to promote cold food.

Worry about an arrow and the wind is fast, half a penny wave is warm, turn around and pass a few posts, looking at people in the north of the sky.

Sadness, hatred piles up! Gradually farewell Pu lingers, Jinwei is lonely, and the slanting sun is rising in spring.

Nian Yuexie hand in hand, open the bridge and listen to the flute. Contemplating the past, like in a dream, tears droplets. “

This paragraph of voice is different, tactful and melodious, lingering and compassionate, which makes people feel sympathetic and far-reaching, and the love affairs of the world gather in their hearts, and they don't feel like tears.

Lu Ji could only listen to it like a chicken, immersed in the song for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.

I only heard a voice beside me say: "The smoke cage is cold and the moon is long and sandy, and the night is close to the restaurant in Qinhuai." The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings after the river Tinghua. “
