Chapter 63
Lu Chuan rode the night snow, walked slowly according to the reins, and sang loudly: "The clothes are covered with dust and wine marks, and the soul is destroyed everywhere when traveling." This fit is the poet who did not ride a donkey into the sword gate in the drizzle. ”
Ye Nanyun smiled on the side: "You say that about Yexue, isn't it angry?"
"Hey, isn't it a talent for someone like me to ride a BMW?"
"What the second elder said, are you still haunted?"
"No, I just want to see what they can do to me. ”
"And how are you going to go?"
"Find Tangmen first, and then talk after meeting Tang Guanlan. ”
The two of them walked out of Jianmen Pass and walked all the way to the bank of the Jialing River, the town here is not small, and they should be able to find the contact point of Tangmen.
In fact, it is difficult to find the location of the sect of the Tang Gate, but it is not difficult to find the people of the Tang Gate, in Shudi, find a random pharmacy and ask the shopkeeper what the surname is, if the surname is Tang, there is a chance that he is a person from the Tang Gate.
The two looked around, there is really a pharmacy in this town, and there is only one, go in and ask, sure enough, the surname is Tang, the two reported the name of Tang Guanlan, the shopkeeper's expression suddenly became solemn, turned to the back, came back after a while, stuffed a wax pill into Lu Chuan's hand, and stopped speaking.
When he got out of the pharmacy, Lu Chuan crushed the wax pills, opened the note and saw that there were five words written on it: "Langzhou Huanhou Temple".
Ye Wuxia said: "It's less than three hundred miles from here to Langzhou, let's go faster and get there tonight." ”
Lu Chuan pondered: "Then if you take the waterway, when will you be able to arrive?"
Ye Wuxia muttered: "The waterway should be slower, it will arrive almost tomorrow." Sixth brother, you don't want to take the waterway again, do you?"
"It's more comfortable to walk by water than to ride a horse. ”
"If we encounter the incident in the restaurant the day before yesterday, we will have nowhere to run on the boat. ”
"Then don't run away, in fact, I think if we had worked harder last time, maybe we wouldn't have to be rescued by the old man. ”
Ye Wu smiled angrily, "Thirty or forty good players, just the two of us, how can you work hard? Last time, you fainted because you were tired." Your fifth brother is just holding two knives, not two of your fifth brother. ”
Lu Chuan also smiled: "The two of us have learned the kung fu of the Shushan faction, at least it is equivalent to half an old man present, and I think it's about the same." And the road has to go, people have to kill, the road is not endless, people don't kill it, you have to let him come early, don't wait for the two of us to get to Jinling, there are people everywhere chasing and killing, but it's ruining the scenery, isn't it?"
Ye Wuxia shook his head and said, "I hope there is still an old man on the ship." ”
The two found an inn, opened an upper room, put three days' money on the house, instructed the shopkeeper to feed the horses, and then went out to the dock, found a big ship going south, and when they entered the cabin, Lu Chuan was surprised, "Fifth brother, when did you learn all the crafts of King Zhou Wen? There is really an old man, there is more than one." ”
Ye Wuxia rolled his eyes and took the lead in walking to the back of the cabin, Lu Chuan followed behind him, observing the fellow ferry passengers present as he walked.
On the left hand outside the cabin is a slender little girl, with a light veil on her face, and it seems that she is still a young lady in the boudoir. On his right hand is a middle-aged man, full of beard, who does not look like a native of the Central Plains, dressed as a businessman, holding a wooden box, and is closing his eyes to recuperate.
On the left hand inside is an old man, the old man seems to have lung disease, and his breathing is extremely heavy, like pulling a bellows, and he often can't get out of breath, so the young lady needs to open the hatch. In the right hand are two middle-aged women, their heads pressed together, chattering non-stop in the Shu dialect, which makes people inevitably a little bored.
Further down was almost the center of the seats, with a light hanging from the top of the cabin. On the left hand is another old man, who puts a flat leg on the seat and occupies the seat of two people. The old man also chattered, complaining about the weather all the time, thinking that he had some leg problems, and he committed it as soon as the weather was cold. On the other side was a scholar, the cabin was dimly lit, but he was still reading, Lu Chuan glanced at it, but it was a poem.
The seats in the back are empty, there is only a couple, Lu Chuan and the two sat opposite the couple, and then there is a row of bunks, pillows and bedding, you can rest at night, it is still daytime, but there is already one lying down, the quilt is tightly wrapped, motionless, as if he is seriously ill.
As soon as the two of them sat down, the owner of the boat outside shouted, "Let's start the boat." ”
The ship moved slowly, and before it had gone two miles, suddenly there was a muffled sound on the deck, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground, and then a person came in by pushing the hatch.
The man pushed a little harder, and the door panel almost hit the little girl who was about to reach out to open the door.
As the hatch opened, a gust of cold wind poured in, and everyone present was excited, and the old man with cold legs scolded in dialect, listening to the accent not like a native of Shudi, but like a little further south.
Lu Chuan glanced at the man wrapped in the quilt with his spare eyes, but saw that he didn't react, and he didn't know if he was asleep or the quilt was thick enough, so he didn't move anyway.
As soon as he came in, the man casually closed the hatch, said sorry, and said sorry, and as he walked to the back of the cabin, he muttered, "Finally caught up." ”
Walking to the back, looking left and right, instead of sitting next to the couple, he stood in front of Lu Chuan and asked, "Brother Tai, can I sit here?"
Lu Chuan smiled and made an invitation.
The man bowed slightly, then took off his clothes and sat down.
Only then did Lu Chuan see clearly that the person who came in was a young man, estimated to be a few years older than himself, handsome and handsome, and talented. The jade pendant on his waist is half the size of a palm, and a folding fan in his hand is also hanging with a jade pendant, which at first glance looks a little similar to Qu Shili of the Three Heroes, and it may be that the rich sons are like this.
But the most special thing is the belt around his waist, which is said to be a belt, not a whole jade belt, but an ordinary belt wrapped around a belt like ordinary people, the belt is almost half narrower than the usual one, and it is inlaid with gold threads, which looks more magnificent than the jade belt.
As the saying goes, dressing and eating depends on the belongings, if this dress is placed on Lu Chuan, it may be a little exaggerated and incongruous, as if it is deliberately shown, but it is appropriate to wear it on this son, as if he was born with it.
Lu Chuan was a little cold in front of outsiders and didn't like to speak, but the boy was an easy-going person, sitting next to Lu Chuan, he first raised his nose and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai seems to have a medicine to repel insects and ward off evil spirits." ”
Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered that the second elder of the Shaw family gave him a sachet when he was about to leave, saying that he could avoid snakes and scorpions.
Don't look at Lu Chuan's boldness every day, it seems that there is nothing in the world that can make him afraid. In fact, it is not, except for fools, chaotic people, as long as they are a normal person, they have their own things to fear, and Lu Chuan is also a normal person, he is afraid of snakes and insects and the like. There were many snakes and insects in Shudi, and the second elder of the Shaw Brothers was afraid that he would be frightened by this, so he gave him this insect repellent sachet.
"Yes, my brother's sense of smell is really amazing. I can't smell it. ”
The man smiled: "It's not that I have any ability, it's just that my brother's medicine bag is a little irritating to my baby." But since Brother Tai doesn't like it, I won't take it out. ”
When Lu Chuan heard that there was a snake on this person's body, he immediately felt a chill down his spine, a little unnatural, and unconsciously moved to the side.
"How could Brother Tai raise such a thing?" he really couldn't figure out how anyone would like such a disgusting thing. There are some snake artists on the rivers and lakes, but that is their way of making a living, looking at the wealth of this son, it is impossible to be an artist in the rivers and lakes.
"One is to like it, and the other is to defend yourself. ”
Lu Chuan looked at his belt again and said, "Soft weapons are difficult to practice tightly, with Brother Tai's skills, I don't believe I can still use it for self-defense?"
The man said, "It's hard to practice double swords and different swords." ”
Ye Wuxia's double knives were naturally hung on his waist, Lu Chuan's sword had been wrapped in the cloth belt given by Qinglian Zhenren at the time of the negative qi Xia Wu, and later after the Zhu family became famous in the mountain, the cloth belt was lost by him, and now anyone in the rivers and lakes can recognize the Zixiao Silver Moon Sword at a glance.
Lu Chuan smiled slightly, noncommittal.
The man said: "I look at my brother's hand, I'm afraid this strange sword is not only long, it should be heavier than an ordinary sword, I don't know if the tip of the crescent sword in front of me can be used as a handguard hook or a Wu hook sword?"
"Although my sword is a different sword, it is a two-edged and one-pointed sword after all, which is still different from the handguard hook and Wu hook sword. And although the Wu Hook Sword is called a sword, only one side is a blade, which should be counted in the knife. ”
"That's right. I came from the northwest, and I listened to some stories on the way, and the people in the stories seemed to be somewhat similar to my brother. The appearance of a hair that spreads out, flying eyebrows and sideburns, and this purple night silver moon sword. ”
Lu Chuan smiled but did not speak.
The man leaned forward slightly and continued: "Then this must be Senior Brother Ye, but I have never heard of when Senior Brother used the double knife. Senior Brother Ye, junior brother Long Shengjing. ”
Ye Wuxia said with a smile: "Long Shengjing, I have been looking up for a long time, but I don't know where the word senior brother comes from?"
Long Shengjing said: "Senior brother will never be wrong, as for what to start with, senior brother will naturally know when he sees the elders of the younger brother's family in the future." ”
Ye Wuxia stopped talking, Long Shengjing Wu kept talking from the south to the north, and Lu Chuan just dealt with it without a match.
