Chapter 100
The four of Lu Chuan were rerouted from Quzhou to Raozhou, and arrived at Shangqing Town at the foot of Longhu Mountain in a short time.
Xiong Binan said that he would not enter Shangqing Town, which was also common sense, but most of the people who were ashamed in their hearts did not dare to pass in front of the five authentic sects, without him, the righteousness was too strong. In fact, with Xiong Binan's actions, Lu Chuan said that there was nothing wrong with him, but Xiong Binan was not as free and easy as him, so he couldn't be reluctant.
In front of the town, Xiong Binan continued westward to visit his younger brother in Yuanzhou, and the three of them entered the town.
Although he was invited by Zhang Tianshi of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but when they met for the first time, it was better to find an inn first, wash up and clean up, and don't make people laugh.
Jiang Bin was born with a loud voice, one foot in front and one foot, and shouted before he entered the inn door, "Xiao Er, prepare three upper rooms, just serve good wine and food, don't be afraid of spending money." ”
Lu Chuan couldn't wait to turn around and leave, it was too embarrassing to walk with this child. He also said this, but Jiang Bin just didn't change it, he couldn't help it, the young and the old were orderly, so they couldn't let their two brothers open their mouths, so it was the only way.
At this time, it was almost time to eat, and the people who lived in the store were all eating in the hall, and they were stopped by Jiang Bin's voice, and their eyes were thrown at the three of them.
The shopkeeper trotted over and said with a smile: "Chivalrous master, it's really unfortunate, the rooms in the shop are full, and there is only one room at the moment, if you don't dislike ......"
"Huh!" Before Xiao Er finished speaking, Jiang Bin suddenly called out and startled Xiao Er, "If you are blind, you can live in a room with the identity of the three of us?" Uncle, I will pay three times the amount of silver to let the people in the upper room vacate it for me!"
Hearing this, Wang Shouren's face turned red, he looked like Guan Erye's brother, Lu Chuan's scalp was numb, he tugged Jiang Bin's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, let's change one." ”
Jiang Bin was still a little unconvinced, and didn't want to leave, but saw Xiao Er sneering: "Don't hide it from the three of you, this Shangqing Town, there is a small shop and an inn, if the three of them can put down the shelves, they will live in one room, if they can't put it down, I'm sorry, the sky and the ground are spacious outside." ”
It is said that the master is big and the slave is big, in fact, it is the vision, the house slaves of the Xiangfu usually see the heavenly officials of the five mansions and six departments, how can the feudal officials who go to Beijing to report on their work and do things be? Much bigger than them, but how do they compare with these heavenly officials? How do they compare with Cheng? I am afraid that in the eyes of these big people, they are not much more advanced than them, they are all the same characters, they can put it in their eyes? The same is true on the rivers and lakes, they all say that the people who farm the land under Wudang Mountain are swordsmen, and no one dares to talk about martial arts in front of the Shaolin Temple, it is all the same truth. Shangqing Town is one of the five authentic sects, where the Heavenly Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain is located, these shopkeepers are not to mention that they have become famous swordsmen on weekdays, and it is estimated that Heavenly Masters are not uncommon, can they put a teenager like Jiang Bin in their eyes?
However, he didn't expect that the person who spoke in a low voice just now was the newly born swordsman in the northwest last year, a well-known rising star in the martial arts, Xiaobei Molu Chuan. Who is Lu Chuan? How proud and sour his face is, can you listen to him say this?
As soon as Xiao Er's words fell, Lu Chuan's eyebrows rose, and he just wanted to go up to reward him with two mouths and teach him how to talk to people, but after listening to Xiao Er, someone in the lobby sneered: "Who should I be, my breath is bigger than athlete's foot, it turned out to be Lu Chuan." Little thief, who gave you the courage to dare to come to Longhu Mountain? Why, your eyes are glaring, and you still want to start beating people?"
As soon as this person's voice fell, he didn't allow Lu Chuan to speak, and another person said coldly: "If you dare to touch a finger of this little brother today, I will discipline you and you can't get out of the inn door." ”
"Mao Daxia, what do you have to talk to him, we are here for him, God really has eyes, I met here, I can't let him go today!"
At this time, there was a sudden muffled sound, Lu Chuan only felt a shock under his feet, and the dishes and chopsticks in front of everyone present jumped a little, and the lobby suddenly fell silent.
Lu Chuan glanced out of the corner of his eye, and happened to see an old man at a single table in the corner, the old man was holding a cane on the ground with a dragon head crutch in his right hand, and a jade cup in his left hand.
took a sip of tea, and Cangmai Kongming's voice sounded, "Adulterous thieves and adulterers, they should be killed." ”
Every word does not carry any emotion, and every word has a supreme majesty.
"Damn it!"
I don't know who drank it first, and then the shouting of killing was thunderous and deafening.
Jiang Bin frowned, he was about to get angry on the spot, he didn't want to make a noise behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the Zixiao Silver Moon Sword fell to the ground, and Lu Chuan squatted on the ground, clutching his chest in pain, trembling all over, and his whole face turned purple.
At this moment, a man came out of the crowd, walked in front of everyone, waved his hand, and suppressed the shouting.
"Lu Chuan, do you recognize me?"
Lu Chuan slowly raised his head, looked at the person, and the qi knot in his chest was speechless, but nodded slightly.
The man sighed and said, "For the sake of the elders in your family, as long as you bow your head and confess your sins, I ......."
"Shi Daxia, your chivalrous heart is known to everyone in the world, but this little thief is extremely evil, and you can't keep it. ”
"Yes, even if the Cloud Swordsman is alive, he will not be allowed to live in the world like this. ”
"Shi Daxia, if you really don't want to go, just give him a good time. ”
After a little grace, the tearless hero Shi Wuxian was silent for a moment, and hugged his fist at the old man in the corner, "Old man Feng ......"
Hanmen Candle Dragon Fengsheng didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
Shi Wuxian turned his wrist around for half a circle, and said in a trembling voice: "Shi, thank you for your high righteousness!"
After speaking, he resolutely turned around, carried a twelve-section steel whip, and walked towards Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan stood up tremblingly with his sword, straightened his chest vigorously, and looked very calm.
Shi Wuxian was still unbearable, not like he was pretending, but in Lu Chuan's eyes, he was so hypocritical that he was disgusting.
Seeing that the steel whip was about to come down, Lu Chuan didn't dodge or dodge, his blue fingers tightly grasped the Zixiao Silver Moon Sword and went to the shelf.
It is not a good strategy to use a sword to frame a whip, the whip is much heavier than a sword, and Shi Wuxian is much deeper than his internal strength, but at this time, it is already good for him to be able to lift the sword.
Jiang Bin was standing beside him, clenching his fists tightly, if Lu Chuan didn't make a move, he could block in front of Lu Chuan, but if Lu Chuan wanted to make a move, he could only stand aside. A pair of eyes stared at this whip and a sword, he is not Lu Chuan, he is not so dead to save face, but if it doesn't work, it is better to save Lu Chuan first, the door is behind him, even if he can't run away, he can't get out?
At this moment, Wang Shouren only felt that the figure around him flickered, and he thought that he was too nervous and dazzled, but he didn't want to "ding" in front of him, a young man in a Taoist robe resisted Shi Wuxi's steel whip with a sword, and the bright yellow silk was gently placed on Lu Chuan's sword.
"Guys, I'm afraid it's a little too unserious to take the Heavenly Master's Mansion here, right?"
This young man is wearing a purple and gold crown on his head, stepping on the words of Fu, wearing an ochre red gossip fairy robe, and the golden sword in his hand is given by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
Seeing that it was Zhang Yanyu who arrived, Shi Wuxian hurriedly collected the whip and arched his hand: "Shi has seen Zhang Tianshi." ”
Don't look at Zhang Yanyu is not yet twenty years old, it is too young to give him no tears as a son, but he is a martial arts master who can compete with Wudang Qinglian Zhenren, Emei Lingsuo Fairy, Shaolin Jing'an Wutao Master, and Kunlun School Zhongtian Xueke on a par with martial arts masters.
It's not that his martial arts are really amazing, but the Dragon Tiger Authentic is extraordinary.
In fact, the five authentic sects are not one sect, but the general name of many sects, take Wudang as an example, Wudang Zhengzong has more than 70 sects of all sizes, such as Wangwushan, Penglai faction, Yinxian faction, Yulong faction, etc., and Wudang faction is only the head of all factions. Dragon and Tiger Authentic Sect is even bigger than Wudang Authentic Sect, the Heavenly Master's Mansion was created in the Eastern Han Dynasty, thousands of years of inheritance, how can it be compared to the Wudang that has only been favored for 200 years?
Not to mention that he has no tears, even the Ten Absolute and others, they never dare to think about the Five Authentic Sects, and the reason is this.
In fact, before today, Shi Wuxian was a little underestimated for this little heavenly master, after all, a teenager can have some skill when he starts practicing martial arts in his mother's womb, but when he looks at it today, it's just that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the new generation in the world replaces the old ones. His whip was a killer, and the picture was a fatal move, giving Lu Chuan a pleasure, but he was resisted by Zhang Yanlu with a sword, steady, although it can't be said that his skills can be compared with his own, but over time, I'm afraid he won't be his opponent. No matter how you say it, it is much stronger than Lu Chuan, who was frightened by a few words from everyone, he really doesn't understand, what is wrong with the rivers and lakes now, this kind of puss can also show his face? It seems that these heroes should really go to the rivers and lakes and walk away again.
"No, if Lu Chuan can have half of your blood, I should let him have a head, it's a pity......"
But said Zhang Yanyu, after Shi Wuxian collected the whip, he also put away the golden sword, reached out and grabbed Lu Chuan's arm, and said with a smile: "Daoyou, since you are here, you can't go to the house, why did you come here?"
Lu Chuan smiled slightly and did not speak.
"Then let's go, I cleaned up the room of the three of us a few days ago, and I don't know what happened in the past few days, there are a lot of people in the town. ”
As he spoke, he pulled Lu Chuan and walked outside, and hung all the swordsmen present here, which was really a good distinction between one and the other. Don't look at these people's nicknames are called heroes, and they can only stare at a fresh portion, no matter how much they are, no one can speak.
"Heavenly Master, please stay. Shi Wuxian frowned and shouted in the back, but Zhang Yan ignored it.
"Knock", another muffled sound, accompanied by the old man's voice, "Zhang Tianshi." ”
Feng Sheng leaned on crutches and got up and walked towards the four of them. The old man seemed to be slow, but in fact he was not slow at all, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the four of them, blocking the way.
Zhang Yanqi glanced at the old man, "Isn't this the old man Feng Shengfeng, he didn't stay in the woods, why did Jing Ji Sidong come here?"
"What does Zhang Tianshi mean that this old man from Shangqing Town can't come?"
"That's not it, it's just a small town, it's not the Heavenly Master's Mansion, it's not the Shangqing Palace, anyone can come. ”
"That means that the old man of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and the Shangqing Palace can't go?"
"If you don't want to live anymore, you can go there, although you don't know the art of Kanyu, but you still know how to watch the sky, so you can pick a good yin house for the old man, so that the descendants of the Feng family, even if it is a petty official who watches the city gate, can do it, so that eating imperial grain is better than farming for generations." ”
Zhang Yanxiao's words are too poisonous, hurting Fengsheng's face is a small matter, and the key also mentions the hidden pain of the Maolin Feng family for hundreds of years. Maolin Feng's original surname was Liu, is a descendant of Liu Zhiyuan, the ancestor of the Later Han Dynasty, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin called the emperor and sent someone to investigate, seeing that these people have changed their names, they did not pursue it, but the royal pen personally approved a sentence "Feng surname is not allowed to enter the court". Later, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang called the emperor, changed the name of his hometown Haozhou to Fengyang Mansion, and built the central capital. Therefore, the Feng clan has not eaten the emperor's grain for hundreds of years, and this matter has become a pain for the clan.
"You ......" Feng Sheng's crutches were about to get angry.
"What are you, you still want to scold people? Calligraphy and painting are worth money when they are old, but they are worthless when they are old, and I don't want to rely on the old and sell the old. ”
Feng Sheng was so angry that he almost didn't come up in one breath, and went over directly, and the old man trembled for a long time before he said: "The old man doesn't argue with you for a long time, you don't have to be nosy, Lu Chuan can't leave today!"
"Can't go? why? legs grow on his body, he can go wherever he wants, you can control you. ”
"Lu Chuan killed chivalrous people in Huzhou, raped young women and eldest daughters, and did countless things that hurt heaven and reason, not only I have to take care of it, but everyone in the world has to take care of it!"
"Huzhou?
"Just ten days ago, Lu Chuan, if you were a man, don't dare to admit it!"
Lu Chuan was speechless, what did he say as soon as this came out? If he admits it, he is a traitor, a thief and adulterer, and if he doesn't admit it, he is not a man. Isn't it possible to talk about people inside and outside?
"Huzhou?" Zhang Yanyu suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Laugh at your ignorance, Lu Chuan just arrived in Quzhou ten days ago, and I sent a disciple from the sect to deliver a letter and saw it with my own eyes. May I ask how he committed the crime on the 600-mile road from Huzhou to Quzhou?"
As soon as these words came out, Shi Wu's tearful face became a little unnatural, "Heavenly Master, is this true?"
Zhang Yanxiao glanced at him, "Shi Daxia, do you want to go back with me to find someone?"
"Shi doesn't dare, but if that's the case, then who is the one who committed the crime in Huzhou?"
"Who is it? There are many affairs in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, so I won't invite you to go and accompany you less. Let's go. ”
After speaking, he took Lu Chuan and the three of them away, and everyone in the inn looked at me, I looked at you, they were like flies without their heads, and they didn't know how to deal with themselves.
On the other side, the four of them walked out of the inn, and seeing that no one came out, Jiang Bin leaned in front of Zhang Yanyu and stretched out his hand to give a thumbs up, "Domineering!"
Zhang Yanlu shuddered, "Come on, it's still domineering, I'm almost scared to pee, you didn't look at that old man, that crutch, it's so evil......"
The four of them talked and laughed and laughed after a while, and then they arrived at the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
I saw that the door of the house is standing in the river, the face is wide and five, it is more than two zhang high, the six red lacquer gates are full of magnificence, there is a straight plaque hanging on the middle door, the book "Hei Han Tianshi's Mansion" is five big characters, the golden light is dazzling, there is a pillar couplet hanging on the door post, the upper link "the fairy guest on the Qilin Palace", the lower link "the prime minister's house in the Dragon and Tiger Mountain", there are stone carved archways on the east and west sides, respectively engraved with "Daozun", "Degui", there is a big drum on the street, it is similar to the drum at the entrance of the yamen, I want to come to someone to see Zhang Tianshi, and I have to beat the drum to report ah.
Lu Chuan couldn't help but praise: "It's really worthy of being an immortal!"
Zhang Yanyu turned his head and glanced at Lu Chuan, did not speak, and walked straight inside.
Jiang Bin helped Lu Chuan to follow, and muttered the couplet in his mouth, "The immortal guest in the Qilin Palace, the prime minister's family in Longhu Mountain ......"
But why did Lu Chuan lose his ugliness like that in the inn? He was really injured a lot, and he couldn't get out of bed and walk again after a day of delay in the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
If you want to ask where his injury came from, you have to start from Chuzhou. He had never been injured, but in Chuzhou, he was stabbed with a dagger by Du Huihan, which broke his vitality and injured his roots. In Hangzhou, because he was worried about Wang Shouren, he was in a hurry and broke his wound. After that, Quzhou, for fear of revealing his identity, did not dare to kill the dragon hand in a rage, and was caught by Liao Hui, and the injuries were added to the injury. All the way, I didn't have to rest, I thought I would go to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to rest and recuperate. But he didn't expect to meet Shi Wuxian, Feng Sheng and others as soon as he arrived in Shangqing Town, and he was so angry that he was angry for a while, and he didn't use the dragon killer in a rage, but he shook the ills and stubbornness of the exercises, and almost died on the spot.
Thanks to Zhang Yanxiao's timely arrival, otherwise, the three of them may not be able to survive half of them.
Therefore, as soon as he was able to walk, Lu Chuan took Wang Shouren and Jiang Bin to find Zhang Yanyu, first of all, he naturally wanted to thank him, and secondly, there were many incomprehensible things that needed to be explained in person, such as what happened in Huzhou in their mouths, and what he sent a letter to invite him to come for.
There are guest rooms in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, west of the back hall, and there are three entrances in the hall, which is not very good, but it is still passable, at least much stronger than the inn. But Zhang Yanlu took Lu Chuan as a distinguished guest, and vacated his cool residence for drinking tea and enjoying the coolness, watching flowers and admiring the moon. In front of it is the Hundred Flowers Pond, the water is blue and the flowers and fragrant fish swing their tails, the weeping willows are curved and the lake is in the middle of the pavilion, the strange flowers and plants around the pond, the ancient trees are thick and shaded, the white cranes are circling, and the birds are singing. When it comes to elegance, there is no more elegant place to go.
After crossing the gutter, walking along the west corridor is the back hall where Zhang Yanxiao lives.
Zhang Yanyu was twelve years old and followed his father into the court, Emperor Yingzong was surprised by his talent, gave a banquet to the Qin'an Palace, and the three palaces were summoned by the mother, and the three palaces were summoned to teach a succession to the Xuchong Jing Chengxian Honghua Zhenren, and to take charge of the world's Taoist affairs. Everyone in the world thinks that he may be a serious and solemn character, but in fact, he is not still a long life, some people have seven feelings, and they also know how to be lazy.
When Lu Chuan and the three of them arrived at the door, he was reading a book, and when he saw Lu Chuan coming, he put the book on the table, stood up and said, "Daoyou is better?"
Lu Chuan bowed and said: "There is a memory of Master Lao, and the cheap body is already very good." ”
"Alright, please take a seat. ”
When Lu Chuan sat down, he peeked at the book on the table, and saw that it read "Shuidong Diary Volume 30", I thought it was this Taoist scripture, and no matter how bad it was, it was also a sage book, but I didn't want it to be a novel written by a person from this dynasty, an idle book.
However, although he was careful, his actions still fell in the eyes of Zhang Yanyu, Zhang Tianshi raised the novel, put it aside and said with a smile: "The classics look boring, and there is nothing to relieve the boredom." The first day before yesterday was a little hasty, I was also lazy, a little slow, and I haven't officially met yet, and Zhang Yanyu is a little small. ”
"I have heard the name of thunder for a long time, in Xialuchuan, this is my senior brother, surnamed Wang Shouren Bo'an, this is my brother, Jiang Bin. ”
Wang Shouren...... Isn't it the one who was assassinated in Hangzhou and thrown into the river? I guess it was the handiwork of a Taoist friend, right?"
"Uh...... The Heavenly Master's hands and eyes are all over the sky, and we are also forced to be helpless. ”
"Jiang Bin, but the strong man who assassinated Liu Jin a few years ago? ”
"I'm ashamed, the three of us are outlaws, and it stands to reason that we shouldn't have appeared in this pure land...... If it hadn't been for the rescue of the Heavenly Master the day before yesterday, I'm afraid that all three of my brothers would have returned to that world. I came here today to thank the Heavenly Master for his mercy, the grace of saving my life is like re-creation, and the Heavenly Master has to send me to just talk about it, I will never give up my life. ”
Zhang Yanqi smiled slightly, didn't talk, and changed the topic and said: "Daoyou couldn't lift the sword the day before yesterday, because he was angry, right? Originally, I heard someone say that Daoyou was angry and went to Wudang, Xiaodao was still a little unconvinced, but the day before yesterday I saw that it was not fake." Others can't stand it when they say a few words to Daoyou, and now it seems that what happened at the beginning is not a big deal?"
"Uh...... It's a shame to say that it's really not a big deal, it's a bull's horn. ”
"Hey, if you want me to say, it's no wonder to you for this, it's Wudang who is stingy. Isn't it just a set of swordsmanship, swordsmanship is dead, people are alive, just because of a set of swordsmanship, it's a pity to lose a talent. Qinglian Zhenren also wrote to say that he wanted to expel you from the division, but I didn't close my eyes for three days at that time. ”
"Alas...... There's no pity, I'm too stubborn to be a cultivator, and what Master said is also the truth. ”
"It's no pity for you, the king of Chu doesn't know that the king of Chu is blind, I heard the news and I was so happy that I didn't close my eyes for three days, so I quickly repaired a book and sent people around to find out your whereabouts, first Chuzhou, then Jinling, and then Hangzhou. I guess if you want to go south, you will let people wait in Quzhou, you see, you really wait, do you say it is a coincidence?"
"Uh...... The heavenly master is clever, unpredictable prophet, and really a god and man. ”
"That's a bit too much, in fact, to put it bluntly, you and I are destined. The ten major difficulties of Taoist friends, under the whole world, I am afraid that only I can solve them. ”
"Oh? Top 10 difficult things, I don't know which 10 are they?"
"Daoyou really don't know?"
"Please also ask the Heavenly Master to make it clear. ”
"Born to be the grandson of the Northern Devil, born to be the nephew of the Yunlang swordsman, and born to be the son of Wu Ziyuan, are these three things difficult? The body of the guilty person who entered the palace to assassinate, the body of the outcast who was not tolerated by Wudang, the body of the court eagle dog who killed fellow martial artists, and the body of the scum of the rivers and lakes who lived in Lenglongling, are these four things difficult?
