Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mysterious Tang Gate

Tangmen, located in Shuzhong, is an ancient and mysterious sect. He has lived in Tangjiabao for generations, is good at studying poison recipes and refining, and designs and uses hidden weapons, which is amazingly powerful, and everyone in the rivers and lakes is afraid of it, and he does not dare to easily offend the people of the Tang Sect. The disciples of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong rarely walk around the rivers and lakes, their behavior is erratic, they are both good and evil, the righteous way of martial arts, the righteousness of the nation, is meaningless to the people in the Tang Sect, they only live in their own world, neither deal with the righteous way of martial arts, nor disdain to be in the company of evil villains. The people in the rivers and lakes are afraid of the unique secret weapons and poisons of the Tang Sect, but they are suffering from not being able to spy on the true face of the Tang Sect. The disciples of the Tang Sect do not care about the evaluation of the Tang Sect by the world, and they walk alone in the rivers and lakes and do not play cards according to common sense. Therefore, although Tangmen is famous in the rivers and lakes, it has always been covered with a veil of mystery, which makes people wonder through.

"Are you awake?" asked a vibrant female voice.

"Where is this?" asked a somewhat feeble male voice.

"This is the Tang Gate!" replied an energetic female voice.

"Am I not dead?" asked the weak male voice.

The female voice seemed a little surprised, and said, "You don't even know about the Tang Sect? It was this girl and grandpa who saved you. The woman seemed a little dissatisfied, and pursed her lips.

The weak man shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, this girl was extremely spicy. I just wanted to struggle to get up and thank him, but as soon as my arms supported the head of the bed, I suddenly felt a sharp pain, which hit my whole body, my bones seemed to fall apart, and my forehead was oozing with beads of sweat the size of beans. I had no choice but to lie on my back on the bed, the pain made the man's brows furrowed, his chest was wrapped with gauze, and a trace of blood was vaguely overflowing.

The spicy woman sat at the table next to her, looked at the man lying on the bed struggling, frowned slightly, and shouted, "Hey, if you don't want to die, just give this girl a good lay." Otherwise, the wound will burst and become infected, even if Da Luo Jin Immortal descends to earth, he will not be able to save you!"

The man stopped moving, lying honestly, staring at the spicy woman. But I saw the woman, with a round face, and her eyebrows were very long, reaching the top of the bridge of her nose, almost together. The yao nose is slightly taller and slightly pointed than the average woman. A pair of smart big eyes, shining, slightly light blue eyes, strange white complexion, looking at the face, should have the blood of a woman in the Western Regions. A thick ponytail tied diagonally, hanging down to the chest, and the hair color has a faint golden yellow. The little mouth that was pursed high was almost enough to hang a pancake. At the long neck, there is a purple pendant, tightly wrapped in a pure white half-sleeved silk blouse, wrapping the petite body with exquisite curves, concave and convex, a deep ravine, evoking infinite reverie. Half of the arm was exposed, as white as a lotus root. The top reaches the lower abdomen, and the beautiful belly squeezes the eyes, full of endless temptation. On the lower body, a set of delicate white silk skirts, slightly covering the knees, and a pair of soft calves, make people's hearts ripple. The whole person looks petite and exquisite, like a beautiful jasmine flower, white and flawless, fresh and elegant, fragrant. The man was stunned for a moment.

The spicy woman found that the man had been staring at her, and she was a little annoyed, so she straightened up her face and shouted angrily: "Hey, don't you know that it's very rude to look at a girl like this? ”

The man smiled, shook his head, and looked away, this woman was really spicy and unceremoniously. The man asked, "Girl, you seem to be from the Western Regions, right?"

The spicy woman still said angrily: "My mother is a woman from the Western Regions, so this girl has Western Regions blood." ”

The man suddenly said: "The girl's complexion is very white, the bridge of her nose is slightly higher than that of the Central Plains woman, her eyes are blue, and her hair is yellow. ”

When the spicy woman heard this, her collapsed face was sent down. Women all over the world love beauty, and some people praise themselves for their beauty, so what woman doesn't like it. The spicy woman had a slight smile on her face, and said in a slightly softened tone: "Flim tongue." Is that how you men deceive girls?"

The man smiled, but he was shocked to the wound, and a pain came up, and he frowned, his face was embarrassed, and he was slightly embarrassed. The spicy woman covered her mouth with her little hands, snorted, and laughed, laughing like a silver bell, which was very good.

The man said, "Girl, don't you think you look good when you laugh? It is true that this woman should only be in heaven, and the world can get a few times. ”

The spicy woman was a little embarrassed to be said, and said angrily: "Little pervert, he will pick up nice words to deceive girls, and his mouth is like eating honey, so sweet?"

The man smiled lightly and said, "Girl, I am telling the truth. The girl's beauty is like a delicate rose, fragrant and beautiful. Besides, a woman's beauty needs to be appreciated by a man. Girl, imagine that if no one pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, offers affection for you, is tender and sweet, gentle and considerate, surrounded by wooden bumps and dumb geese, dull and boring, stagnant pools, incomprehensible amorous, lacklustre, no one looks at the beautiful body, no one praises the beautiful dress, how lonely and monotonous life will be?

When the spicy woman was said by the man, her face was printed with a touch of ruddy, like a delicate red rose, but her heart was beautiful, and her tone became calm, and she said: "You have this mouth, you can talk back like this, I don't know how many girls you have deceived." You're also thick-skinned, you're really interesting. ”

The man asked, "I don't know the name of this beautiful girl!"

When the spicy woman heard this, her willow eyebrows were upside down, she glared at the man, and returned to her pungent appearance, shouting, "Hey, hey, hey." I said that you can really climb up the pole, this girl saved you, and before you said thank you, you just asked a girl's name?"

The man felt a little reckless at this time, smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I was rude." In Xiahou Jin, thank you for the girl's life-saving grace!"

The spicy woman glared at Hou Jin: "It turns out that your name is Hou Jin." Saving your life, such a simple thanks?"

Hou Jin joked and said, "Otherwise, do you want to make a promise?"

The spicy woman rolled her eyes, sneered at Hou Jin, and said disdainfully: "Hmph! You are really interesting, you are injured, even your life is about to be gone, and you still have the mind to speak frivolously? With that, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Hou Jin shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart: "It's really a little pepper, and if you don't agree with each other, you get angry." Seeing that the spicy woman left the room, she hurriedly shouted: "Girl, I haven't asked you for your name yet? ”

Outside the room, there was a coquettish shout: "Tang Lei." Then there was no sound of footsteps, and he must have walked away.

"Tang Lei, Tang Lei, such a petite and beautiful girl, but she has a masculine name, which is interesting. Hou Jin muttered. Thinking of Ying'er again, he blamed himself: "Ying'er was kidnapped by the people of the Plum Blossom Palace, I don't know what happened? Those people are so cruel and bloodthirsty, I'm afraid Ying'er is more than lucky." Hey, I can't even protect the people I love, Hou Jin, Hou Jin, you're useless. Thanks to Uncle Tu for trusting you so much, he entrusted Ying'er to you. Now that Ying'er's life and death are uncertain, how will I explain when I see Uncle Tu?" thinking, thinking, maybe it was because of the serious injury, excessive blood loss, and weak bones, Hou Jin felt that the upper eyelids and lower eyelids were fighting, so he fell asleep deeply.

"Brother Jin, Ying'er is here, come and chase me! "Ying'er smiled like a flower, in a plum garden, stepped up and ran ahead.

"Ying'er, you're fine, great, brother is here. Hou Jin was overjoyed and shouted Ying'er.

But let Hou Jin call Ying'er's name one after another, Ying'er kept repeating the sentence: "Brother Jin, Ying'er is here, chase me happily!"

After a while, Ying'er had already run far away, and the beautiful Qianying distanced herself from Hou Jin. Hou Jin was in a hurry, and with a swift step, he instantly rushed out fifty steps away, chasing Ying'er forward. Finally caught up, Hou Jin excitedly grabbed Ying'er's jade hand and said excitedly: "Ying'er, it's great to see that you're okay." Don't leave to enter my brother again, okay!"

However, when Ying'er turned her head, she had an indifferent face, her eyes were cold and full of murder.

Hou Jin hurriedly said: "Ying'er, what's wrong with you, I'm Brother Jin!"

Ying'er still had a cold face, her eyes showed a fierce light, she touched her face with her hand and pulled down. The originally beautiful and moving pretty face instantly turned into a murderous and distorted face, and a grimace mask covered it. Suddenly, Ying'er was holding a short dagger in her hand at some point, the cold light flashed, and she shouted: "You go to die." A trace of cold light flashed, whirring wind, and penetrated into Hou's chest. Hou Jin was defenseless, and the dagger stabbed into his body, reaching the handle. Originally, a beautiful plum garden scenery turned into a hell in an instant, with remains everywhere, and many people wearing grimace masks, like powerful ghosts.

Hou Jin's eyes widened, he looked at Ying'er in disbelief, and said bitterly: "Ying'er, what's wrong with you? I'm Brother Jin, why do you want to kill me?"

As Ying'er pulled out the dagger, the blood in Hou Jin's body also splattered out, the corners of his mouth also spilled blood, and a miserable cry echoed in the air......

"Hou Gongzi, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" Outside the door, a call came, and Hou Jin knew that it was a dream. With trembling hands, he stroked his forehead with difficulty, his palms were wet, and even his back felt moist. Suddenly, Hou Jin felt that his mouth was dry, he couldn't open his eyes, and shouted weakly: "Water...... Water...... Water ......"

After a while, Hou Jin felt that a hand was dragging his back, and a water cup came to his mouth, and someone said, "Hou Gongzi, the water is here, drink it!"

Goolong, Goolong, Hou Jin Niu drank like a cow, gulped down the water, and after drinking, he took a breath, and then he felt better. When I opened my eyes, I saw a half-grown child who looked like a scholar, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at himself.

Hou Jin said: "Thank you, little brother." ”

The scholar hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hou Gongzi doesn't have to be polite. Miss Lei said that you were seriously injured and specially instructed me to take care of you. Does Hou Gongzi have any other orders?"

Hou Jin shook his head and said, "I'm tired little brother, it's not dawn yet, little brother, go and rest." ”

The scholar bowed slightly and said, "Okay, Hou Gongzi, I'm in the side room next door." If Childe has any orders, just call me. ”

Hou Jin nodded, and the scholar left the room. Fang just had a nightmare, and Hou Jin was completely sleepy. He tried to use the five elements of yin and yang, wanting to use his internal power to regulate his breath and speed up the healing of wounds. But as soon as he took a breath of true qi, Hou Jin felt a piercing pain, which made Hou Jin's brows tightly locked, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Maybe the injury is too serious, and he has been poisoned, and forcibly exercising his skills will only backfire and be counterattacked. So, Hou Jin only had the idea of dispelling the luck gong to heal his wounds, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and started to be stunned.

Finally, at dawn, the sky revealed a white belly, and the birds jumped on the branches early and sang loudly. Breathing in the fresh air, Hou Jin's heart began to gradually calm down.

When the day was completely dawn, the scholar came into the room with breakfast and said, "Hou Gongzi, it's time for breakfast." ”

Hou Jin nodded, he didn't know how long he had been unconscious, his stomach was already empty, and he was hungry. Seeing the scholar come in with breakfast, he suddenly smelled the smell of rice and had a great appetite, Hou Jin tried to sit up, but he tried several times in a row, in addition to feeling weakness all over his body, there was also the pain of the wound, and he couldn't sit up, Hou Jin looked at the scholar and smiled helplessly. The scholar's eyes were quick, he put down the breakfast, reached out to help Hou Jin sit up, put the pillow on Hou Jin's back, and let Hou Jin lean on the head of the bed. Serve it up early and start feeding it.

After serving Hou Jin to eat breakfast, the scholar picked up the dishes and chopsticks and went out. After breakfast, Hou Jin felt much more comfortable, and regained some strength, leaned on the head of the bed, closed his eyes and recuperated. But Tang Lei's spicy girl, at some point, came to Hou Jin's room quietly and coldly, and patted Hou Jin's shoulder. Hou Jin's face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat on his forehead oozed out. Tang Lei realized that he had accidentally touched Hou Jin's wound, and with an apology on his face, he said, "I'm sorry, Hou Jin, are you okay?"

Hou Jin can be regarded as serving Tang Lei, and he didn't say hello, so he broke into his room, knowing that he was injured, and slapped himself on the shoulder. Hou Jin shook his head helplessly, he couldn't get angry, in the end, people saved their lives, and they couldn't show their faces for a little thing. I had to frown, slightly dissatisfied, and said, "I said Miss Tang Lei, before you come in, can you say hello." Do you think it's appropriate to just break into a man's room like that?"

Tang Lei didn't care at all, and said nonchalantly: "What is this? We, the people of the Tang Sect, have never paid attention to these hypocritical etiquette. Besides, this girl has already apologized to you, and you still don't give up, a big man, really stingy. ”

Hou Jinzhen couldn't help this little girl, and said with a bitter face: "In this way, your Tang Sect is really special." ”

Tang Lei raised his head, turned his face away, pouted and said, "We Tang Men all do things casually, and we never pay attention to those red tapes. Those so-called morality, benevolence, righteousness and morality, we people in the Tang Sect disdain. ”

Hou Jin said: "In this way, what my master said is true. ”

Tang Lei turned his head and looked at Hou Jin for half a day. Hou Jin was numb by Tang Lei's scalp, and he didn't know what this little girl was thinking, so he looked at himself like this, and simply joked: "Why are you looking at me like this, do you see that this son is a talent, and you like this son?"

Tang Lei glanced at Hou Jin and shouted: "Cut! Go! Go! Go! Who would like you little pervert? Narcissist, I'm really not ashamed!"

Hou Jin smiled slyly and said, "It seems that I am too worried." ”

Tang Lei said: "I heard the scholar say, you had a nightmare last night and woke up scared?"

Hou Jin nodded, in response.

Tang Lei then asked, "And you have been calling a person named Ying'er in your dream." Like, when my grandfather and I rescued you, you were in a coma and kept calling your name. Then who are you this person named Ying'er?"

Hou Jin thought for a while and said, "Ying'er is my fiancΓ©e. ”

Tang Lei nodded suddenly, and said, "No wonder you keep calling her name, even in a coma? This sister Ying'er must be as beautiful as a fairy, so you can't forget it so much." ”

Speaking of Ying'er, Hou Jin's eyes became extremely gentle, and he said, "Yes." Ying'er is clear and jade-clean, kind-hearted, she is the most beautiful and best girl in the world, and I am in love with Ying'er. ”

Who knows, Tang Lei snorted in his nostrils, turned his head, pursed his mouth, and looked like someone else owed her money, puffing up.

Hou Jin was very puzzled, Tang Lei, this girl was nervous, and she turned her face faster than turning a book, so she was really unsure. Puzzled, he asked Tang Lei, "What's the matter?"

I only heard Tang Lei say angrily: "What's wrong with you? I obviously have a fiancΓ©e, but I still tease other girls, what a flowery little pervert." You men are all so frivolous, do you love one when you see one?"

Hou Jin suddenly realized that this girl was just dissatisfied with her teasing her yesterday. sighed, Tang Lei, this girl is moody and uncertain, this is Hou Jin's conclusion to Tang Lei. So he apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Tang Lei, it's me Hou Jin, I shouldn't have made fun of you." ”

But Tang Lei pursed his lips and smiled, and then smiled at Hou Jin. Hou Jin is completely out of line.

Tang Lei said: "Hey, Hou Jin, then you can tell me about you and your fiancΓ©e." ”

Hou Jin thought about it, and his thoughts returned to the scene when he first came to the Tianshan Sect, was punished by the master, and happened to meet Ying'er, with a smile on his face and gentle eyes, and said: "Ying'er, she is my uncle's disciple, and she and I belong to the same brother and sister." When I first entered the master's school, there was a time when it was snowing heavily, and I was practicing swords,...... He was reprimanded by the Master. I happened to be bumped into by the warbler who came to pass the word, and I fell in love with the two of them...... Later, Uncle Shi resigned from the position of head of the family and entrusted Ying'er to me...... The two of us went down the mountain to play, and met the people of the Plum Blossom Palace, and Ying'er was taken away by them...... You know the back. Hou Jin told Tang Lei about his and Ying'er's past.

Tang Lei sat at the table, his chin in his hand, and listened intently. After Hou Jin finished speaking, Tang Lei said: "What a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks." That sister Ying'er, now that she is in danger, won't you save her?"

Hou Jin hurriedly said: "Why don't you want to? Suddenly separated from Ying'er, my heart was empty." But right now, I can't even get out of bed, hey!" Hou Jin sighed.

Tang Lei comforted Hou Jin and said, "It's useless for you to be in a hurry, you have to wait until you are injured." Besides, even if you're cured, you don't know where the Plum Blossom Hall is! ”

Hou Jin asked, "Your grandfather?"

Tang Lei said: "Yes, listen to my grandfather, you are not only seriously injured, but also poisoned by Huang Cheng of the Plum Blossom Palace! If it weren't for my grandfather, you would have died a long time ago!"

Hou Jin arched his hand and said, "When Hou Jin recovers, you must visit your grandfather in person and thank him for his old man." ”

Tang Lei frowned, as if he was embarrassed.

Hou Jin was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Lei nodded and said, "Yes, grandpa, his old man doesn't like people to disturb him." Originally, grandpa would not save you, it was me and grandpa who went up the mountain to collect medicine, and when we returned, when we passed through a small town, we found that there were dead bodies everywhere, and you were the only one who still showed signs of life, but it was also dying. I couldn't bear to look at it, so I begged my grandfather to save you. ”

Hou Jin arched his hand again and said solemnly: "Before, it was Hou Jin who offended Miss Tang Lei and asked the girl to forgive him. Hou Jin, thank you Miss Tang Lei for saving her life. ”

Tang Lei was slightly surprised, touched his forehead, and reached out to touch Hou Jin's forehead.

Hou Jin saw Tang Lei's strange behavior, and asked puzzledly, "What's the matter, Miss Tang Lei, what are you doing?"

Tang Lei tilted his head, held his chin in his hand, and said, "Let's see if you have a fever!

Hou Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Where does the girl say, Hou Jin is very good." I take the liberty of asking Miss Tang Lei, can you introduce your grandfather to Hou Jin?"

Speaking of grandpa, in Tang Lei's eyes, in addition to awe, there is also worship. Said angrily: "My grandfather, that's amazing, but he is a master of the rivers and lakes, and the people of the rivers and lakes send the honorific number, the old man of Tianji." Not only is he proficient in all kinds of hidden weapons, all kinds of poisons, and his martial arts are unfathomable, but his medical skills are also unique in the world. Many people in the rivers and lakes are admired, wanting to see each other but can't. There are countless people who have asked my grandfather to heal many incurable diseases. But my grandfather never paid attention to it. My grandfather was the last master of my Tang Sect, and later passed on the position of master to my father, and he devoted himself to cultivation. Grandpa rarely deals with people on the rivers and lakes, and he is very strict, I am afraid of him, but grandpa loves me the most. Also, in fact, grandpa's strongest ability is divination, his old man's divination, one divination is accurate, never miscalculated, it can be said that he can see through the heavens, so he got the title of the old man of the heavens. ”

When Hou Jin heard this, he couldn't help but become curious about the old man of Tianji, what kind of character is this......?
