In October, even if it is winter, the weather in Shuzhong is not very cold, but it rains heavily, and the feeling of being wet is not comfortable, especially for people from the north, who can't stand it at all.

In the inn at the foot of Mount Emei, people are in groups of three or five, surrounding the lamp, drinking to ward off the cold, and at the same time chatting about the war in northern Sichuan these days, talking about their past, and talking about various rumors on the rivers and lakes.

Perhaps only on such a rainy night in a foreign land will the gap between people be narrowed. The same is true of merchants, no more than porters, and no more than swordsmen with swords and swords.

The door creaked open, the raindrops and moisture swept in the cold wind, the oil lamp flashed a few times, and many people were also excited. But no one complained, no one got angry. Because the person who pushed the door in was a gray-haired old man, accompanied by two teenage children, a man and a woman. The grandfather and grandson were all drenched in the rain, dripping water down their hair and trouser legs, which made it strange and sad to watch.

The old man closed the door of the store, stood at the door and didn't dare to move, and rushed to the people present in the hall again and again, his voice trembled, and he apologized vigorously.

What else does this make people say? Even if you have a temper, you don't have a temper at this point.

But people are different, don't look at the people here have no opinions, the guy who ran the hall is gone, "Old man, I'm really sorry, a small shop is full today, you better take a step forward and go to another store." With a calm face, he pushed the old man out as he spoke.

Yes, it's true that the store is full of customers, but who doesn't know that there is this inn nearby, where can you let the old man and grandson go out? Besides, it's raining heavily, don't you see what the two children are getting drenched in? The little faces are blue, and the lips are white.

The old man looked at the two children, his face was embarrassed, and he begged the man: "Little brother, you can do it conveniently, our grandfather will come in to shelter from the rain, just let the children warm up, don't want a room, and we will leave as soon as the rain stops." Of course, I will pay for the meals. ”

Looking at the guy again, he pouted like a scoop, "If you have money, you can go to other stores, I just don't want to earn this money." I'm afraid that you will sleep until midnight and get up to work, and tomorrow morning a guest will get up and say that I have lost something and I have no place to look for your people. ”

That's too much, he thinks he's taking the old man as a thief. Some people really couldn't listen to it and just wanted to speak, so they heard a snap on the counter, which jumped everyone and the guys who ran the hall, and quickly turned their heads to watch, and saw the beggar who was leaning against the counter and sitting on the ground drinking, and he didn't know when he stood up, pressed the counter with one hand, and looked at the door.

Seeing that it was this person, the man felt a little unhappy in his heart, and he spoke in his heart, what are you going to do? Do you want to help this old thing? If you want me to say no, it is better for him, and I don't know how our shopkeeper is kind enough to let you in. If it were me, I would have kicked you out.

So the man took a look, paid no attention to the beggar, and stretched out his hand to open the door and go out to chase the old man. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was grabbed by a dirty, but very powerful hand.

"Let them live in my room, I will double the money for the restaurant, and I will be responsible for losing something. ”

As soon as the words fell, before the guy could speak, he heard a thick voice behind him speak, "Bah! You are so unreasonable, it is raining heavily outside, and you have kicked them out, are they still alive? I will give up my room to their grandfather, you go and prepare bath water and food, and if you dare to say one more word, I will break your teeth!"

Don't look at the beggar talking about the inappropriate guy, the guy who spoke was half frustrated at the time, "It's you." Three, please go inside, go upstairs to the first Tianzi is. ”

"Okay, in ancient times, Zhang Liangsan picked up his shoes, and now there is a future life to make room for the bad old man, okay......" The old man muttered while leading the two children upstairs.

The beggar stood with his head bowed against the counter, as if he were asleep, and the old man had gone upstairs before he knew it. Finally, the red-faced man came over and patted him on the shoulder, and he raised his head.

"Friend, Brother Forgiveness, I didn't even see that you are also a chivalrous person. ”

The beggar laughed, "Brother Tai is a hero, he pities the weak and the poor, and he just sees their grandchildren pitiful, a little ...... I couldn't help but say something like the same disease, how dare I be chivalrous. ”

Dahan nodded, clasped his fists slightly at the beggar, and said, "If you guessed correctly, my friend is the brother of the beggar gang, right?" ”

The beggar was slightly stunned, and asked, "May I ask below, what is the relationship between Brother Tai and the master of the Xuanzhi Sect, Yu Renyu and the old knight?"

"That's my father, and I'm the unfilial son of his old man. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the young master, what a disrespect. How is the old knight?"

"Thanks to my concern, my dad is fine. I don't know what my friend's pedigree is, what do you call it up and down? Since you know my father, I can go back and say no to the old man. ”

"I'm a nameless person, and I don't have to say my name. But since I talked about it, I will trouble the young master to say hello to the old chivalrous guest for me, and say that the people of Langzhou last year are still alive, and they will definitely visit in person when they are free in the future. ”

As soon as he heard this, Yu Chengying's face suddenly changed and became serious, "My father has been thinking about a person when he came back from Langzhou last year, saying that he inherited someone's love, isn't that Engong a friend......?"

The beggar laughed, interrupted him and said, "Where, where, the old man is serious." ”

Speaking of which, Yu Chengying completely understands that the inconspicuous Hanako in front of him is not an outsider, it is Xiaobei Demon Luchuan!

I saw that the young master took a step back, and as soon as his knees bent, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Lu Chuan.

Where can Lu Chuan let him kowtow to himself in front of this public? It didn't mean that Chengying knelt down, quickly grabbed the wrist of the young master, and said in a low voice: "I can't help it." As he spoke, he looked around.

Yu Chengying understood that Lu Chuan was hiding his identity, so he was not reluctant. deliberately raised his voice and said, "It seems that we are going to squeeze into the same bed tonight." ”

"It's easy to say...... it's easy to say"

While the two were talking, they heard footsteps on the stairs, and the old man came downstairs.

The old man was still wearing the same clothes as before, and probably he didn't change his clothes, but just wrung them out and put them back on.

After the three of them met, the old man stopped in the open space in front of the door, hugged his fists at everyone present, and said: "Little Lao'er is grateful for your righteousness, and asked for a place for our grandfather, there is no way to repay it, if you don't dislike it, Xiao Lao'er will tell you a book?"

Not to mention, wouldn't it be a good thing to be able to listen to a book and drink on such a rainy night to relieve boredom?

Therefore, everyone stopped talking and took the initiative to give up a table.

The old man smiled slightly, came to the table, took out the "three treasures" from his arms, folded fans, waking wood, and handkerchiefs on the table one by one, and opened his mouth to talk about the book: "Filial piety and righteousness are promised to be gods, and martial arts are not Chang'an in ancient times." If you listen carefully to this poem, you will be able to discover the mechanism inside. Connecting the first four words is the title of this series. Yes, the name of this set of books is called "Filial Piety Swordsman", the word filial piety refers to the old long live Emperor Xiaozong, that is, the eighteenth year of the year name Hongzhi, to put it bluntly, this set of books is about the story of the martial arts swordsman of the dynasty. To say that during the Hongzhi period, the most famous swordsman was naturally the first person to be encountered in the Central Plains martial arts in a hundred years, and the cloud swordsman Yao Qi Yao Buhe. Yao Dajian pressed the green forest with a sword, so it was a pity that Mu Xiu was destroyed by the forest wind, he died young and has passed away. The old man sighed and continued, "Is there a great swordsman now? Yes, this person lives outside the south pass of Jinling City, and his surname is Chuan Ziye. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar. Even Yu Chengying turned his head to look at Lu Chuan. Looking at Lu Chuan again, his face was as red as a red cloth, and he had nowhere to put his hands and feet, so he was so ashamed that he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Yes, during the Hongzhi period, it was said that Yao Qian was recognized as the first in the world in martial arts, it should be said. During the Zhengde period, he said that he was Luchuan? Why is he? He is famous and capable, that is, in the past two years, according to the words of the old sword immortal of the Xiaoshan faction, Wang Ziwang, the fortune of the head can not be stopped. But I don't know how many people are stronger than him in terms of fame and ability, and I can't count him.

Just when everyone was puzzled, there were three soft sounds, and the old man patted Xingmu and said, "Don't raise the bar yet, let me finish talking and you will see if it is or not." If you want to say Lu Chuan, he was born outside the Guan, and when he was born, he made a big fuss in Chaotianling, killed the swordsman with a sword, saved the old sword saint Zhu Zhaoyan in Shudi, slashed the heroes with a sword on the shore of Bailong Lake, and seven people fought in the ring in Baxian Town, and Qin Liwu was invincible and almost forced Qin Daxia out of the ring. Chuzhou robbed dart silver, drunk on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and stayed overnight on the jasper boat. In Hangzhou to help the Qing official Wang Shouren fake his death to get out, in Quzhou pretended to be a brocade guard to punish rape and eliminate evil, was invited to Jiangxi, King Ning treated him like a guest, Zhang Tianshi personally greeted him, Wuyi Palace and Xi Zhenzi competed, Shaolin Temple in front of the Jing'an master to discuss Zen. Let's ask, he is only twenty years old, although there are many famous swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, how many people can have such achievements at the age of twenty?"

He poured out all the things that Lu Chuan had done since he was born, and asked everyone present speechless.

At that moment, someone suddenly spoke outside the door, "Okay!

Then there was a click, the latch broke, and an old man walked through the door.

As soon as the old man entered the door, someone recognized him, "You...... Aren't you the Guanlan elder of the Tang Sect, the elder of Tang. ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire inn lobby was boiling.

There were many people whispering, "What's the matter, he is the famous Tang Guanlan?"

"Isn't it, I heard that in addition to the head of the Tang Sect, he has high poison skills. ”

"How could someone of such high status come to such a place?"

"Nonsense, it's raining so hard outside, everyone has to take shelter from the rain. ”

"I guess it's for Emei. ”

"I think it's the same, the head of the Emei faction, Lingsuo Fairy, sowed a hero post, and invited Sichuan and Shu to become a famous swordsman, and we all received the invitation, why didn't he receive it?"

"Mrs. Tang, the head of the Tang Sect, has never come down since she went to Wudang Mountain, her life and death are unknown, and now the elder of the Tang Sect is in charge, he is naturally a ...... on behalf of the Tang Sect."

There are many opinions, and the discussion is endless.

But said that Tang Guanlan, without waiting to look at others, saw the old man who told the story at first sight, it was okay not to read it, and couldn't help but be taken aback at a glance, and hurriedly walked to the old man and bowed, "Ouch, it turned out to be the senior Zhong, and the junior Tang Guanlan salute passed." ”

This storyteller is none other than Zhong Yi and Zhong Taiyi, the head of Kunlun's authentic Taishang.

Old Swordsman Zhong nodded slightly, gently patted Tang Guanlan's wrist with his hand, signaled him to be quiet, and then glanced to the side. Tang Guanlan followed his gaze and saw a young beggar sitting on the ground against the counter.

He opened his mouth and said, "The blessed don't have to be busy, the unblessed run and break their intestines, Brother Lu, you really let the old brother find a meal." ”

Wow, it's time to open the pot again, and everyone's eyes fell on Lu Chuan.

"Who is this little beggar? Why does Tang Guanlan call him Brother Lu?"

"Could it be that he is Lu Chuan?"

"It doesn't look like it. ”

"I heard that Lu Chuan's sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes are not difficult to see, and the Zixiao Silver Moon Sword does not leave his body an inch, how can it be this dress?

“......”

The crowd was not finished talking. I almost didn't Lu Chuan to death, Lu Chuan spoke in his heart, and Old Man Zhong hurt me with two sentences, what kind of fun are you old coffin making up? Before you enter the door, shout hello, are you applauding? You slapped me Lu Chuan! That's it, it's enough to see, it's good now, I'll hide it and let you expose it in a word, how can I meet people?

Therefore, I saw him sitting on the ground and not moving, staring at Tang Guanlan with his eyes, his chest falling together, and he was lucky there.

Tang Guanlan's words had already been spoken, and looking at Lu Chuan's expression, he knew that he had probably said too much. But what else can be done about the water that spilled out when he said it? I had to walk over to Lu Chuan with a smile, sat down next to him, and said without saying anything: "Mount Emei is really big, I have run two laps......

Lu Chuan glared at him fiercely, ignored it, stood up and walked straight to Zhong Yi's side, kowtowed to the ground on both knees, and said loudly while kowtowing: "Junior, Lu Chuan, meets the head of the Kunlun faction, the old man Zhong in the snow mountain!"

Wow, this time the whole inn blew up. Even if you haven't seen it, you should have heard the elders say it, and even if you haven't heard it, you should still have told the storyteller, and there are still people in the world who don't know him?

I saw that everyone was not talking about it, and those who drank were not drinking, so they got up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old man.

Old man Zhong is so unhappy, his heart speaks, Lu Chuan, Lu Chuan, we are getting along well, my old man recruited you and provoked you, you will reveal the old bottom?

The old man thought so in his heart, but he still had to pretend that he didn't take it like that, reached out and touched Lu Chuan's head and said, "Get up, kid, this head grandpa has written it down." ”

Lu Chuan smiled and stood up, feeling a lot more balanced in his heart.

This Zhong Yi's book can't go on, Lu Chuan also sat on the ground, Tang Guanlan didn't stand, and was invited by everyone to sit at the innermost table, Zhong Yi sat in the first seat, Tang Guanlan sat in the lower head and sat opposite Lu Chuan, and the rest of the people stood around them, and no one sit.

Zhong Yi laughed, "All the children sit down, don't stand." ”

Everyone excused themselves before they sat down, someone had already brought out the shopkeeper in the store, the guy who ran the hall, and the cook in the back kitchen from the bed, and they had to hurry up and arrange a wine banquet, if they could have a meal with these three, they would be able to blow for half a lifetime when they went out!

The shopkeeper and the guy who ran the hall were all scared silly, my mother, the small temple can't let go of the big immortals, how did these three come here? In fact, not only them, but everyone else was also quietly waiting to listen to Old Man Zhong's instructions.

However, Zhong Yi didn't speak, but Lu Chuan did, "Old man, why did you come here?"

The old man sighed, "Since I said goodbye to Baxian Town last year, I have been chasing the one-armed old man who rescued you, from Kuizhou to Jinling, and from Jinling to Guilin, but unfortunately with the two children, I didn't catch up." Later, I met your little brothers at the Dragon Farm Station, and they said that you were carried away by a one-armed old man, and I knew that he had no malicious intentions and would not chase him. Took the two children to Wudang Mountain, no, some time ago you sent someone to Wudang to send a letter, I was by the side of Lao Zhenren at that time, I was taken aback after reading the letter, and quickly brought the two children here. Son, what are you going to do about this?"

"During this time, I have discussed with the owners of the eighteen villages in the Sichuan Shu Green Forest, and they promised me to remain neutral and not help each other......

As soon as these words came out, Tang Guanlan's eyelids couldn't help jumping twice, and his heart spoke, I heard that someone had picked eighteen Dazhai with a sword, and the feeling was you, this is really easy to discuss.

"Now that the Lingsuo Fairy has sown the hero post, I have to come to the master of the five sects of Emei, the eight sects and the thirteen sects, the day after tomorrow is the right day, and I should be able to see it tomorrow, I want to go up the mountain to see, who didn't come, I will go and ask for a ......"

Tang Guanlan sneered in his heart, his heart spoke, look at it, isn't it here again? If anyone doesn't come to ask you to invite you, you will fall into blood mold, if you don't bring someone's head, I Tang Guanlan will bring my head to you.

"Since the old man has come forward, I am relieved to have you in Emei Mountain. ”

Zhong Yi nodded, "It seems that you are very well arranged, so I have nothing to worry about." But you still have to be careful, the head of the five factions of Emei is no better than the owner of the eighteen villages in the green forest, and the Tao is much deeper than you. ”

Lu Chuan laughed, "Don't worry, old man, I won't go alone, my old brother Tang Guanlan is not here, I'll take him with me." ”

"Well, that's fine, Guanlan's poison skills are outstanding, and the people are also sophisticated, so I can help you a lot. ”

Tang Guanlan's face turned green when he heard this, but Zhong Yi had already decided for him, what else could he say?

Lu Chuan couldn't help sneering when he heard this, "Yes, my Aunt Xuan is on Wudang Mountain, and he is now in charge of the Tang Sect, as if he is the master of the second gate, who dares not to buy his face." It's not like me Lu Chuan, who is soft-spoken, doesn't count when he speaks, and is used as a monkey by others. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tang Guanlan didn't do anything, "Brother Lu, our brothers have a good relationship, how can you speak like this with a clear conscience? What kind of thing am I, Tang Guanlan? If you hadn't given me an idea last year, I wouldn't have survived today! Where is the No. 2 master? If this word spreads, how should the world scold me?"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Chuan directly became angry, slapped the table and stood up, pointed at Tang Guanlan's nose and scolded: "Old immortal, old coffin coffin! What are you pretending to be here? If you want the Eastern Emperor to recreate grace, you can say it directly, go to Wudang Mountain to find my Aunt Xuan, come to me Lu Chuan to ask for it, what are you trying to do with a girl? Let me ask you, Tang Xian'er and Tang Mei'er were not sent out by you? Tang Xian'er gave me a beehive and almost abolished me in the spring, do you know? On the surface, you are trading with me, but in fact, you are colluding with my enemies behind the scenes, and you are secretly stumbling on me, what the fuck are you!"

The more Lu Chuan spoke, the more excited he became, and seeing that he couldn't clean it up, Zhong Yi hurriedly got up and reconciled, "Xiao Chuan, Xiao Chuan! ”

Lu Chuan didn't look angry, he didn't lose his mind, he still listened to what Zhong Yi said. Gasper sat down.

Looking at Tang Guanlan again, he was calm when it came to this, his face was not white, but his beard trembled with anger, and when Lu Chuan finished speaking, he stood up and saluted Zhong Yi, turned around and left.

But before he could take two steps out, there was a snap, and Lu Chuan exploded again, "Tang Guanlan, old horseman, if you dare to leave today, I will kill the Tang Gate after the matter of the Emei faction is over, and when the time comes, I will definitely call the chickens and dogs up and down the Tang Gate not to leave you believe it or not!"

Tang Guanlan was stunned and stood still. After standing for a long time and waiting to turn around, he was already in tears, "I believe that the three thousand brothers of Leng Longling are close to the Sword Gate, as long as you give an order, it will be easy to step on the Tang Gate." But what do you want me to do? Master, his old man has passed away for many years, and the Tang Sect has long ceased to be brilliant, and thousands of people from top to bottom have to live, I, Tang Guanlan, am sorry for you, you can kill me. The old man closed his eyes as he spoke.

Lu Chuan slowly stood up and slowly walked towards Tang Guanlan.

"Ogawa, don't be impulsive. ”

But seeing Lu Chuan raise his hand, he stretched it out, wiped away the old tears on Tang Guanlan's face, and said in a harmonious voice: "Brother, if I want to kill you, how can I say these words? Brother is here to compensate you. He bowed and swept the floor.

Don't look at these just a few words, the situation suddenly changed, Tang Guanlan was so old, he cried loudly, and slapped himself left and right.

"I'm not human...... I'm sorry brother......"

Lu Chuan hurriedly grabbed the old man's hands, "Don't don't, just talk about it, can our brothers do this?"

This is really something that everyone present didn't expect, looking at Lu Chuan's posture at the beginning, he was about to swallow Tang Guanlan alive, but later, he pulled it back, worthy of being born in Wudang, Tai Chi played really well!

Zhong Yi couldn't help but secretly praise himself in his heart, it's just that, this kid is not famous, who is famous, he is really a hero!

In other words, just rushing Lu Chuan's work, everyone present is not unconvinced! Everyone speaks in their hearts, and if they want to go out and hear that Lu Chuan is the devil, I have to slap him with a big mouth. Have you ever seen a devil like this? If the devil were like this, the world would be too peaceful.

But he said Lu Chuan, and when he said it, he suddenly smiled, "Brother, there is one more thing I have to say to make you happy." ”

"Oh, I don't know what's going on?"

"Tang Meier is not dead. ”

"Ahh

"Then is there a fake? She is now studying in Quanzhou to become a girl, and she has also obtained the Eastern Emperor's re-creation grace. ”

Tang Guanlan smiled and tears fell, trembling hands held the wine glass and said, "Old brother...... Thank you......."

Everyone present laughed, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and they were all happy.
