Chapter 12 A reed crosses the lake

As the saying goes, "an autumn rain is cool", a drizzle during the autumn equinox urges people to quickly add clothes.

There's nothing more comforting than drinking a jug of wine.

Sitting in the private room of the Star Picking Building, pouring a pot of good wine, and enjoying the rain by the lake outside the window, the whole person will relax.

Long Tianlei is just the opposite, at this moment he is looking out of the window, but his heart is like eighteen buckets of water - seven up and eight down.

Before noon, the huge star-picking building was already full, if he hadn't booked this elegant seat in advance, it was estimated that he would have to stand and wait.

Today is the day of the appointment with the Fire Spirit Venerable, and the news has long since spread, so it has attracted a group of good people downstairs.

The shopkeeper of the Star Picking Building had never seen so many martial arts people gathered together, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. The lobby downstairs is like an arsenal of the military department at this time, with swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks.

What made Long Tianlei even more troublesome was that Long Shiqiu, who had made an appointment to come here, had not even seen half a shadow so far. Obviously, I was drunk last night, and I disappeared early this morning.

If he doesn't show up today, he's in big trouble!

"Second Brother Tang," Jiang Shanghan couldn't help but say when he saw that he was uneasy: "Don't worry, Long Shiqiu is not a person who is untrustworthy, I believe he will appear soon." ”

It doesn't matter anymore whether you believe it or not, all you can do now is wait.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"

The breeze accompanied by a drizzle brought a pleasant ringtone.

What a familiar ringtone!

Tang Tianlei and Jiang Shanghan stood up almost at the same time, and came to the window to look for a voice, the bell rang intermittently, sometimes and without it.

"Over there!" Jiang Shanghan pointed to the surface of the lake, Tang Tianlei looked fixedly, and a double-layer painting boat slowly swayed out from the weeping willows on the shore. On the deck of the painting boat stood the golden mask and white-clothed envoy! The four palanquin bearers, including the green dragon and the white tiger, who were wearing bronze masks, had turned into boatmen at this moment.

"Let's go!" Jiang Shanghan seemed to be even more excited than Tang Tianlei, as soon as the word "go" came out, the person had already gone out of the window and went straight to the lake, and Tang Tianlei had no choice but to follow.

A group of martial arts people in the Star Picking Tower rushed out one after another, braving the drizzle and rushing to the lake together.

The Star Picking Building, which was full of friends just now, is now only the money shopkeeper and a few guys. The expression on the face of the shopkeeper was as if he had eaten eighteen coptis in a row, and he was really not sure if these people would remember to come back to settle the bill.

The boat was about six feet from the shore, there was no boat on the shore, and there was nothing to borrow from the lake, so the boat stopped in a very awkward position intentionally or unintentionally.

Almost no one present can leap six zhang away without the help of external forces, and they have all heard of light power floating on water, but there is no one who can really practice to be as light as a feather and cross the water without sinking from ancient times to the present. Sometimes legends are just legends, and there are many exaggerated stories of three people becoming tigers.

"Second Brother Tang, do we want to go up?" Jiang Shanghan pushed Tang Tianlei with his elbow.

"What, Brother Jiang is sure that he can get on the boat?" Although Tang Tianlei knew that he had done a good job, his eyes were full of doubts.

Jiang Shanghan shook his head slightly and said, "If you have two planks, you can also try it." ”

Tang Tianlei sighed and looked around, but he never saw Long Shiqiu's figure, and there was only a white-haired old man wearing a hat and a cloak under the weeping willows of the lake embankment, holding a bamboo pole and fishing in the drizzle.

Suddenly, there was a melodious pipa sound from the painting boat, and everyone on the shore was noisy.

The white-clothed masked envoy on the painting boat said loudly: "The three-day appointment has arrived, I don't know which friend boarded the boat to go to the appointment?"

There was a commotion on the shore, but no one stood up, and the white-clothed masked messenger asked three times in a row, but no one answered, and laughed: "Since this is the case, don't pass by." ”

Jiang Shanghan whispered in Tang Tianlei's ear: "Second Brother Tang, the junior brother will go and hold him first, it is best for Long Daxia to appear in time, if he doesn't come, he will worry about it." ”

Tang Tianlei watched the painting boat slowly drive away, frowned and said, "How do you go up?"

The corners of Jiang Shanghan's mouth raised: "Borrow a knife and use it." Tang Tianlei handed over the iron knife with a confused face, Jiang Shanghan stretched out his hand and said, "I'll go!" A little under his feet, jumped on the railing, and then borrowed his body like a flying swallow to the side of the weeping willow, the person in mid-air The iron knife "choked" out of the sheath, and the knife flashed and cut off several willow branches.

Everyone on the shore exclaimed, Zhongjiang Shanghan waved out a single palm, knocked the broken willow branches down to the lake one after another, and showed a light body to see the landing point and floated to the lake, and the toes flew forward like a dragonfly with a trace of buoyancy of floating willow branches, and jumped on the painting boat in three or two times.

Everyone on the shore suddenly burst into cheers, and Tang Tianlei couldn't help but secretly pick his thumb, and the title of "Yunzhong Yan" on the cold river in his heart was indeed worthy of his name.

"Good skills!" "The white-clothed envoy said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that 'Yunzhong Yan' is rare in the world to learn light skills, and it is really true to see it today." ”

Jiang Shanghan listened to the cheers on the shore, and was smug in his heart, and hugged his fists at the white-clothed envoy: "I have already found the person, why don't you wait for a while?"

"Oh?" said the white-clothed envoy, "where are the people?"

"This ......" Jiang Shang said coldly, "He, he is on his way here, and he will be there in a while." ”

The white-clothed envoy looked up and laughed, "How long is a while?"

"A stick of incense" Jiang Shang Han regretted it as soon as he said it, and immediately changed his words, "No, it's ...... an hour"

The white-clothed envoy's face changed, and he snorted coldly: "The surname is Jiang, can you play with you when you have nothing to do in this seat?"

Jiang Shanghan waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, in the next sentence, I was drinking with him yesterday." ”

The white-clothed envoy sneered when he heard this: "This is very good, this seat wants to see, if you die, will he still be a turtle with a shrunken head?" As soon as the words fell, an arrow stepped forward, and he waved it with one palm towards the cold door on the river.

Jiang Shanghan was taken aback, but he didn't expect the white-clothed envoy to say that he would fight, and in a hurry, he waved the iron knife in his hand to meet his palm and chopped it.

No matter how high the martial arts are, how can the fleshy palm catch the blade?

In this lightning and flint, the white-clothed Venerable suddenly flipped his arm, and the knife was close to his wrist and slashed into the air, Jiang Shanghan's reaction was also very fast, a knife missed the foot and made a mistake, the knife went sideways and lifted up the opponent's arm, this knife was fast and accurate, and it slashed the armpit of the white-clothed Venerable.

If this knife is sharpened on the white-clothed venerable envoy's entire arm, Tang Tianlei, who was watching the battle on the shore, was greatly surprised, but he didn't expect that Jiang Shanghan not only had a light skill, but also had such an attainment in knife skills, and he couldn't help but be impressed by him in his heart.

But things did not develop as imagined, I saw that the white-clothed envoy's figure flickered, and the person had flashed to Jiang Shanghan's right hand, Jiang Shanghan's knife didn't even touch his clothes, saying that it was too late and that was fast, the white-clothed zun bent his fingers into a hook, and pointed at Jiang Shanghan's shoulder with lightning speed, and listened to his "ah" sound, the whole arm instantly lost consciousness, and the iron knife fell off the deck with a "dang chang".

The green tendons on Jiang Shanghan's forehead burst out, and he was about to stand up with the pain, but the white-clothed envoy had already picked up the iron knife in his hand, and the knife flashed and stood on his neck.

The many heroes watching the battle on the shore let out a burst of exclamations, the martial arts of this white-clothed envoy were really terrifying!

"Yunzhongyan" Jiang Shanghan's martial arts are already regarded as a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, but he has not been able to fight five moves in the hands of this envoy!

Tang Tianlei was very anxious when he saw this, and he only hated himself for not doing enough, otherwise he would have rushed over to help.

At this moment, a loud voice shouted: "Keep people under the knife!"

Everyone followed the prestige, and the one who shouted this sentence turned out to be the inconspicuous white-haired fisherman in the distance.

Without waiting for everyone to react, they saw the fishing man throw the bamboo pole in his hand to the lake, the fishing rod floated out of the water two feet away, the fishing man jumped up in the air like a meteor shot to the painting boat, and when his body fell, he just pointed one foot on the fishing rod, and jumped into the air again with this power, and the person in the sound of clothes fluttering was already firmly on the bow of the boat.

The white-clothed envoy stood with his knife sheathed, looked the angler up and down, and sneered: "Your Excellency is so handsome. ”

Jiang Shanghan was closing his eyes and waiting for death, when he suddenly felt his neck loosen, and when he looked at it, the fisherman was already in front of him.

"Young man, be forgiving and forgiving. The fisherman stretched out his hand to pick up Jiang Shanghan, and pinched his wrist, Jiang Shanghan glanced at him, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"I don't know what Your Excellency wants?" the white-clothed envoy suddenly asked.

The fisherman smiled slightly, "I want to meet the person who plays the pipa upstairs." ”

The white-clothed envoy snorted coldly: "Then we have to try to see if we have this ability." ”

The angler laughed and said, "Try it." As soon as the words fell, a palm struck out, straight to the chest of the white-clothed envoy, this palm was both fast and sudden, and the white-clothed envoy immediately felt a strong palm wind blowing in his face, and he didn't dare to slack off at all, and his palms were divided left and right, setting off two strengths to guard the door.

The fisherman sneered, turned his palm into a claw at his feet, and went around to the side of the white-clothed envoy and grabbed his shoulder violently, the white-clothed envoy hurriedly retreated and turned back, dodged this grab, and poked his fingers at the opponent's elbow "Quchi" point, unexpectedly, the fisherman had no intention of dodging at all, and his left leg bent his knee and directly hit the white-clothed envoy's lower abdomen.

Seeing this, the white-clothed envoy hurriedly withdrew, and his palms were forced against the collision of the fisherman's knees, which was also a last resort in a hurry, because even if he could point to the opponent's "Qu Chi" just now, this powerful collision would inevitably fly him at the same time.

As soon as the white-clothed envoy touched the opponent's knee with both palms, he knew that the power of this collision was really extraordinary, but before he could close his palm, the fisherman had already punched him in the nose like lightning.

Seeing that this punch was fast and ruthless, the white-clothed envoy subconsciously leaned back, and stepped back at the same time, but the fishing man had expected him to be like this, and he lunged forward, picked up his right arm and smashed it into the chest of the white-clothed envoy, and at the same time stretched out his leg and stumbled on his ankle.

These two moves were done in one go, and the white-clothed envoy had never seen such an arrogant move, and he couldn't dodge it, and the whole person was tripped by the fisherman and fell out of the way, and half of his body was already hanging outside the bow of the boat!
