Chapter 21: The Unlucky Ma Yucheng
There is a village more than ten miles away from the accident site, which is called Ginkgo Village because there are several thousand-year-old ginkgo trees at the entrance of the village. A villager named Tang Aihu went out to run errands, and happened to pass by on the way back to the village by a group of thieves. When he saw this scene, he saw that the family members of the official eunuchs were robbed, and he was indignant. But he saw that there were many thieves, and although he had a few martial arts, he was finally invincible with his fists, so he was cautious and pretended to walk over as if nothing had happened. When he approached the bearded thief, he suddenly raised his left hand and locked his throat, and pointed an arrow at his temple with his right hand, and ordered the thieves to leave their horses and purses and leave as quickly as possible. The thief had no choice but to ask his men to disperse according to his words. When the thieves were far away, Tang Aihu designated the thief with an arrow, ordered him to walk fifty paces away, quickly jumped on horseback, and took the woman away. The thieves had only one horse, which was the mount of the thief leader, so they could only watch as they got their hands and money were gone.
Yuan Yunshang snatched the doll of the Ge family, took it back to Huangniu Mountain and handed it over to a servant woman in the Ecstasy Blessed Land. This doll is also a cute doll, with a pink face and bright big eyes, Yuan Yunshang likes it in private. She was silently making up her mind that she would cultivate them in the years to come, and she would cultivate the two dolls of the Ge family and the Zhuo family, and she would cultivate them into her own halberds and charge into battle for herself to dominate the martial arts.
So he named the doll of the Ge family Xiaofei, expecting him to become an eagle flying on the rivers and lakes in the future, she had already inquired and understood the surname of the husband's family Ge, but she had already given this surname to the doll of the Zhuo family, and let the sister of the Zhuo family use the halberd word to remove her surname, only surnamed Ge. She simply gave the battle character of the war halberd to this doll, removed his original surname Ge, and left a possessive character as the surname. In this way, she will remember what the original surnames of the two dolls were, and it will be difficult for the two dolls to find their parents when they grow up. In this way, among the two dolls he robbed, the dolls of the Zhuo family were surnamed Ge, and the dolls of the Ge family believed in Zhan.
With great effort, she managed to assemble eight pairs of boys and girls. They were all babies of one or two years old, and they were raised by the servants. Those servant women should have worked hard with such a master.
She herself trekked through mountains and rivers and traveled all over the world to collect medicinal materials for the Ecstasy Pill. Some medicinal herbs here are extremely difficult to collect, such as the South China Sea Sea Urchin, you can't ask for shallow sea urchins, you have to go deep to collect them. The Black Fox Heart is also extremely difficult to get, it is difficult to catch the fox, and it is too difficult to hit the Black Fox. In order to get the heart of the black fox, he spent a cold winter on the grassland before finally getting his wish.
Delegona always paid attention to Yuan Yunsheng's actions in his ears. Whatever Yuan Yunshang did, someone reported to the riverside. Knowing that her tricks were acceptable, Yuan Yunshang was arranging her cultivation and life according to her ideas. She knew that Yuan Yunshang couldn't extricate herself at this time, and deliberately sent some masters to assist Yuan Yuan Yunshang in collecting medicinal materials, which surprised Yuan Yunsheng.
Although Yuan Yunshang lives in seclusion in Huangniu Mountain, her servants are all arranged by Delegona. Therefore, its collection cannot be separated from the sight of Delegona. She left some minor herbs to the people sent by Tregona to search for them, and she devoted herself to finding those herbs that were extremely difficult to collect. Everything was ready, but there was a lack of colorful peacock gall and iceberg snow lotus, and she decided to solve the iceberg snow lotus first.
With a little preparation, she evolved to the plateau, and the iceberg snow lotus can only be obtained on the ice plateau.
On this day, he was eating in Mianzhou City, but he didn't expect that in such a desperate place, he actually met the brothers of the Li family of Kuaidaomen. The Li brothers knew the Taihu Heroine Yuan Yunni, Yuan Yunshang looked too similar to her sister, they were mistaken for a while, thinking that the Taihu Heroine had arrived, and they politely came over to say hello. When I knew that I recognized the wrong person, I was embarrassed.
Yuan Yunshang didn't care, and talked to them for a while. That Li Zhendong has never been tempted by women, and when he saw Yuan Yunshang today, he only felt a smile, which touched his heart a little. Hearing that Yuan Yunshang was going to the snowy plateau, he was determined to follow Yuan Yunshang and help her. So he instructed his brother's Zhenxi to return to Kuaidaomen, and he followed Yuan Yunsheng.
All the way west, Yuan Yunshang felt awkward and asked Li Zhendong to be busy with his own affairs several times. She had never walked with any man in her life, and she was very unaccustomed to it. Li Zhendong gradually became determined not to part with her, and he couldn't get rid of this master of the fast knife gate, so he had to let him. In this way, they traveled all the way, over many mountains and rivers, and came to the depths of the snowfield.
After searching on the snowy plateau for many days, he was confused on the high snowy mountain, and he searched in the depths of the ice and snow in confusion, and finally saw an iceberg snow lotus. But the snow lotus bloomed on top of the white ice cliff, a place where the cliff was frozen in ice, and only ice and snow could be seen, not mud and rock. But Yuan Yunshang wanted a living iceberg snow lotus, and she had only seen this one for many days, and her mood was too urgent, so she didn't care about the danger, and tentatively climbed to the cliff.
Look at it, you're about to get close to Snow Lotus. He was so excited that he put his hand on a piece of floating snow, because the ice seemed very hard, and he didn't see that it was floating frozen snow, and when the weight of her body shifted to the frozen snow, the ice and snow cracked mercilessly, and her body fell down at great speed.
Li Zhendong had already prepared, before going up to the snow mountain, he wrapped a silk silk around his waist, the silk silk was wrapped around his waist with a live buckle, and at the moment of danger, he quickly pulled off the wire bundle and flew over, and shouted "Catch!" Yuan Yunsheng grabbed the silk without thinking, and was taken by him forcefully and out of danger.
These days, Yuan Yunsheng's eyes are searching for snow lotus everywhere, but Li Zhendong's eyes have never left Yuan Yunsheng, and his heart has long locked her. Her every move, word and deed can cause Li Zhendong's natural reaction. Therefore, as soon as she was in danger, Li Zhendong's silk silk flew in front of her.
Feelings are wonderful, and even Li Zhen can't say what he likes about Yuan Yunsheng. Although Yuan Yunshang is beautiful, she is not so beautiful that it is unforgettable at first sight, compared to Wulin Flying Harrier and Wulin Feiyan, I don't know how much worse. But Li Zhendong was indifferent when he saw Ouyang Harrier, but when he saw Yuan Yunsheng, he was fascinated. Maybe it was Yuan Yunsheng's calmness that attracted him, he joined Kuaidaomen since he was a child, spent his life in the rivers and lakes, and experienced excitement everywhere, on the contrary, it was Yuan Yunsheng's cold beauty that made him unforgettable. He repeatedly expressed his favor, but Yuan Yunshang was indifferent, often the more he couldn't get something, the more he wanted to get it. Therefore, the longing in his heart, I can't tell whether it is attachment or admiration, in short, I always wonder what Yuan Yunshang needs and what he needs to do. When Yuan Yunshang put himself in danger, he naturally thought of dealing with danger. This may be a chance given to Li Zhendong by God, so that he really has a chance Yuan Yunsheng, he did not hesitate, the moment Yuan Yunshang fell, he threw out the ribbon in his hand, and Yuan Yunshang grabbed the ribbon without thinking. He just wanted to pull Yuan Yunshang up quickly and take it hard. Yuan Yunshang also took advantage of the situation to jump up desperately, but unexpectedly jumped into Li Zhendong's arms. This time it was a bit sudden, and even Yuan Yunshang didn't expect this surge to be so coincidental, impartial, and collided with Li Zhendong. Li Zhendong was afraid that he would lose something, so he hurriedly held her shoulder.
Yuan Yunshang is a regular person, and in the first 20 years, she was only mistaken for a sister by her brother-in-law Ma Yucheng. Other than that, no man ever touched her. At this moment, after being frozen and hungry in the ice and snow for many days, she suddenly bumped into the warm arms of a man, she felt a sense of happiness welling up in her heart, she didn't know where this happiness came from and why, but it made him unforgettable for a long time. Although she pushed Li Zhendong very quickly and left his arms, the warmth stayed in her heart for a long time.
It's strange to say, since the last time she left Jigong Mountain, Ma Yucheng's image has always jumped in her mind, but she knows that it is her brother-in-law, and she always wants to suppress her disordered thoughts but can't suppress it. Maybe the triggers of feelings are all taken from some accidental coincidence. Li Zhendong pulled the silk hard, which caused this coincidence. At this time, Yuan Yunshang was no longer as ashamed as he was after being hugged by Ma Yucheng, he was already able to face everything in this world calmly, especially after practicing the Ecstasy Skill, his heart was completely different from the heart of anyone in the world.
In the days of cultivation in Huangniu Mountain, she had a strong personal desire to override the martial arts and despise others, but this was only the self-strength in her mind, but in real life she was lonely. She has been in and out of the mountains and ancient caves for a long time, no friends, no friends in the rivers and lakes, except for a few servant women and little babies who only know how to cry, there is no other popularity in his life, in fact, at this moment under Li Zhendong's embrace, she feels particularly kind, but she is still reserved, not the slightest mood to show, but rushed away.
She wanted to leave this place quickly, leaving the man who had hugged her by chance, but she felt that someone had just saved you, so you just turned around and left, which is a bit unreasonable. And the snow lotus that she finally found was still swaying on the cliff, so she had a feeling that she wanted to take a step but couldn't.
Li Zhendong seemed to see Yuan Yunsheng's hesitation, he had recently practiced a hand-off knife style, which was a one-handed move that had not even been refined by Hou San of the Quick Knife Gate, which could be used in the air. The meniscus knife in his hand flew out, circled the snow lotus for a while, and flew back with the snow lotus. This move is really clever, and there are few people in the universe who can do it without losing its power. First, he wanted to collect the snow lotus, and secondly, he wanted to show off in front of Yuan Yunsheng, so he exerted his skills to the extreme. The snow lotus was uprooted by his knife and was not hurt in the slightest.
The snow lotus was taken away, and it was still growing alive in the ice and snow soil. He handed the snow lotus to Yuan Yunsheng, and Yunshang took it, full of joy, but his expression was very light, and he only said three words lightly: "Thank you!" Then she put the snow lotus into a small wooden box that had been prepared, wrapped it gently, and collected her own bag.
Li Zhendong usually speaks like a cannon, as fast as his knife skills. But as soon as he met Yuan Yunsheng, who always liked to smile and be silent, he also became speechless, and he couldn't say a few words. At this time, in order to break the embarrassment, he finally reluctantly squeezed out a sentence: "There is a town down the mountain, let's go eat something hot together." ”
Yuan Yunchang didn't agree, nor did he object, just looked at Li Zhendong indifferently, and Li Zhendong said again: "Let's go, I'll invite you." Then he took the lead and walked down the mountain. Since we met in Mianzhou, every time Yuan Yunshang walked in front and Li Zhendong followed. When Li Zhendong walked in front and turned back after a while, he would find that Yuan Yunshang did not follow, but went in another direction, often forcing him to turn around. This time, Yuan Yunchang did not mean to avoid him, but followed him, quietly followed, and walked all the way to that town, which was an unprecedented performance, which made Li Zhendong very excited.
There were only three or four small vendors selling food in that town, and the best food was beef noodles. And they ate beef noodles. Since being hugged by her brother-in-law, as long as Yuan Yunshang thinks of a man, she will see the shadow of her brother-in-law in front of her. Starting from this bowl of beef noodles, the shadow gradually faded. She seems to have developed a good impression of Li Zhendong, of course, maybe on purpose, because since her brother-in-law kissed her, her sister has disappeared, and she doesn't want her sister to be sad.
The saddest thing these days is the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce, since Taihu Lake besieged Ma Yucheng and failed, the rivers and lakes have been calm for a long time, which is the last thing that the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce has seen. The Pingnan Chamber of Commerce has a mission, they want to try to collect talents, and they must try to disturb the situation, and if they can't collect the talents who can't be exposed, they have to find a way to make them disappear. The problem is that Ma Yucheng is gone, the rivers and lakes are too calm, they can neither attract talents, nor can they pick right and wrong, and for a while it seems that they are really doing business.
They felt that Ma Yucheng was already embattled, and it seemed that there was a chance to be recruited into the Chamber of Commerce. When every martial arts talent is at the end of the road, it is the best time for them to collect.
In the hall of the Jinghu branch, Meng Pingnan and Blindfold Pingjiang planned their next move.
Meng Pingjiang said: "If you don't let the Ma Gang go out, use Ma Yucheng's name to do a few more cases, and force the rivers and lakes to move." ”
Meng Pingnan shook his head and said: "Ma Yucheng is a good hand, you have to try to win him first, it's really not good, and it's not too late to deal with him." ”
The two discussed for a long time and decided that Meng Pingnan would try to go to Lama Yucheng to join the gang. To say that the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce has great magical powers, even Ma Yucheng is in Lijia Village, Jigong Mountain, so the secret that is not known to the rivers and lakes has also been discovered by them.
On this day, Ma Yucheng was instructing Li Murong to practice, he demonstrated the headwind back to Yanjian, and was about to preach the essentials, when he suddenly heard quacky applause. With applause, Meng Pingnan walked out from behind the tree and said, "Ma Daxia is so idle. ”
Ma Yucheng remembered that this person was the one who repeatedly persecuted him on the edge of Taihu Lake, and looked at him coldly, without words. Meng Pingnan smiled mockingly, and introduced himself: "I am Meng Pingnan, the patrol director of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce. I don't think Ma Daxia's life is going to be easy, do you want to consider joining our Ping An Chamber of Commerce?"
Ma Yucheng snorted, thinking to himself that this person is really whimsical, how could my eldest disciple of the head of the Fengmen join other gangs, but Meng Pingnan didn't think so, he said: "I personally think that Ma Daxia currently has only two paths, one is to go back to the master and stay and never go out of the rivers and lakes." Because the rivers and lakes are full of people who want to kill you. The second is to join the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce, our Chamber of Commerce absolutely guarantees your safety. ”
"Thank you for your kindness, it's impossible. Ma Yucheng flatly refused, he was the first disciple of Huifeng, and it was impossible for him to join other factions.
But Meng Pingnan was not reconciled, and still insisted: "Now there are people everywhere who want to hunt you down, and you can't hide." We can find this place in Lijia Village, and others can also find it, and someone will soon come to trouble you. ”
Ma Yucheng sneered proudly: "Who is coming? ”
Meng Pingnan shook his head and said, "I hope Ma Daxia will consider my suggestion carefully." Then he left. But he didn't give up, he wanted to force Ma Yu to become a fan through his way.
Meng Pingnan returned to the Jinghu branch hall in Mengpingjiang, and Meng Pingjiang asked, "What is the result?"
Meng Pingnan shook his head. Meng Pingjiang made a gesture of killing his head, Meng Pingnan still shook his head, and said meaningfully: "For the good players in the rivers and lakes, we must first try to win over, and only kill as a last resort." Since you want to win over someone, you have to let him have no way out. ”
"Then how can we cut off his retreat?" Meng Pingjiang felt that it was difficult to cut off people's retreat.
Meng Pingnan pondered for a long time, seemed to have a way, beckoned to Meng Pingjiang, the two got closer, Meng Pingnan whispered: "In this way, pay attention to his whereabouts, his reputation in the rivers and lakes is not very good, to further discredit him, well, if he completely discredits him, he will neither be able to return to the master, nor be able to stand on the rivers and lakes, only obediently." ”
Once the plan is formed, all that's left is action. The action of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce is to find out everywhere where there is a good sword, and everyone who has a good sword is quietly killed by them, takes the sword away, and then goes around, saying that Ma Yucheng loves swords and is obsessed with swords, and he kills whoever and whoever in order to grab the sword. People in the martial arts think of the relationship between Ma Yucheng and Cangming Sword and Yang Ajian, and they all think that this thing is a bit like true, but it is too inhumane to kill people and seize swords in such a public, and it really arouses public anger in martial arts.
The Pingnan Chamber of Commerce spread the information about Ma Yucheng in Lijia Village, Jigong Mountain, and the martial arts heroes were ready to move, and they all wanted to come to Jigong Mountain.
Although Ma Yucheng lived in seclusion in the mountains, he also heard some rumors, and felt that he should go, and he had to bring right and wrong to the Li family. Before he left, he wanted to find another sword for his apprentice. Although the apprentice Li Murong practiced diligently day and night, her skills increased day by day, and she seemed to have become a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, but after all, she was young and was practicing martial arts for the first time, so she could not withstand the wind and waves. I am afraid that it will not be easy to return to Lijia Village after leaving, Li Murong may sometimes have to walk the rivers and lakes, a person who practices martial arts, no matter how low-key and how to hide himself, will inevitably walk the rivers and lakes in the end. What Ma Yucheng left to Li Murong was the Yang A sword, a little girl with such a sword, that was to make Huazi hold a gold ingot, it was inevitable to be robbed, the so-called husband is not guilty, and she is guilty, it is very likely that she will suffer senseless suffering because of this sword. Therefore, he considered finding an ordinary steel sword for his apprentice. The sword is only unsheathed when it encounters a strong enemy, and ordinary swords should be used when walking in the rivers and lakes.
With these thoughts, Ma Yucheng went to the market town before leaving, found an armory shop in the market town, and bought a steel sword. The steel sword also pretended to be branded with the word Longquan, but it actually had nothing to do with the real Longquan sword.
When he was about to return to Jigong Mountain, he met an old man, who was Xia Huaiyuan, the chief dart head of the Bagui Dart Bureau. It is also fate to meet in this kind of poor countryside, the two drank a bowl of tea on the tea beach together, and talked to each other about the aftermath.
Speaking of Taihu Lake heroine Yuan Yunni, there was no news after she ran away in a negative mood last time. Xia Huaiyuan said that he had seen a back figure in Jiannan Road, and that back image was very much Yuan Nuxia, and Ma Yucheng was shocked when he heard it.
It has been a long time since he and his wife have been separated, and he hopes that his beloved wife can be considerate of him, forgive him for his unintentional mistakes, and return to him.
He originally planned to leave Lijia Village, but after saying goodbye to Xia Huaiyuan, he decided to go to Jiannan Road to find Yuan Yunni. He returned to Lijia Village and repeatedly told Li Murong, telling him that the master was leaving, and there would be few opportunities to come back, and asked her to find an opportunity to go to the Jade Mountain to meet the Zen master and the teachers. After telling Li Li Murong, he packed his bags, said goodbye to Li Zi'an and his wife, and went to Jiannan.
The name of the Nangong family is in Cangzhou, and it has actually rebuilt its foundation in Lin'an, and has also set up a separate business in Wuchang City. Since escorting the head of the Hengshan faction to Donglin Temple that year, Sima Xiangyun, Ouyang Harrier and Jingyun have been a little inseparable. Sima Xiangyun was busy inquiring about the disappearance of his aunt and niece, and he was paying attention everywhere in the rivers and lakes. Jingyun and Ouyang Harrier were fine, and they were drinking with the Nangong brothers in Wuchang at this time.
Talking about the matter of the Cangming Sword, Nangong Yunfei still believed that Ma Yucheng did it, Hou San saw that it was him, and the sword was in his hand, who else could it be? Speaking of the loss of the child at Aunt Mingyu's house, could this matter have anything to do with Cangming? Could it have anything to do with Ma Yucheng? Besides, there have been waves on the rivers and lakes recently, several families have lost their swords, and the sword-wielders have all died, is it Ma Yucheng's doing? It is also said that he lost Yuan Yunni, a Taihu woman, and Yuan Yunni has run away in a bad mood and does not know where to go. It seems that Ma Yucheng looks chivalrous, but in fact he is a beast.
Ouyang Yao was the most angry, although she had lived in seclusion for more than ten years, her straightforward heart had not changed much, I heard that Ma Yucheng was related to this series of things, and there was also a rumor about the explosion of ecstasy blessed land on the rivers and lakes, I felt that Ma Yucheng was too incredible. She once saved Ma Yucheng's life, left Ma Yucheng to recuperate in the Three Immortals Cave, and even treated his injuries and poisoned him with her own hands, and she had a good impression of him. Hearing that Ma Yucheng was so unbearable, in a blink of an eye, his good feelings turned into bad feelings, and his anger rose from his heart, and he said goodbye to the Nangong brothers and went to Ma Yucheng to ask about it. If these things have anything to do with him, you might as well kill him directly.
Hearing that Ma Yucheng had appeared in Qianzhong Road recently, he chased after Qianzhong Road angrily, inquired all the way, and threatened to kill Ma Yucheng, a thief, all the way.
Nangong Yunlong and Nangong Yunteng finally saw Ouyang Harrier again, how could they be willing to let her go? Seeing her running to the middle of the Guizhou Road, they also chased after her, following Ouyang Harrier all the way. No matter what Ouyang Harrier thinks in his heart, the two brothers are obsessed with him anyway. In the end, it is still doubtful whether Ouyang Harrier will marry into the Nangong family, and which son of the Nangong family will marry. But no matter what, they all follow with obsession.
The news that Ouyang Harrier was going to kill Ma Yucheng soon spread all over the rivers and lakes. This is definitely amazing news, with Ma Yucheng's ability, few people in the martial arts can match, but with Ouyang Harrier's skill, it is enough to kill him. Who is the martial arts flying harrier going to kill to stop him? As far as we know, in the whole world, only her sister Ouyang Yan can restrain him. In addition, looking at the world, who else is the opponent of the Martial Arts Flying Harrier? Although Ma Yucheng has recently practiced a new technique, he has some Taoist skills, which are stronger than ordinary Jianghu masters, and his own previous skills are also higher. But compared to Ouyang Harrier, it is an earth immortal and a heavenly immortal.
In this way, curious people are also following the direction of Ouyang Harrier, they want to see this bustle of the rivers and lakes, and see how the Yanbo angler died under the sword of the Wulin Flying Harrier.
