Chapter 21 Hundred Miles of Hengshan
After noon, the sloppy man changed into a clean cyan robe and took the young Yang Twenty back on the road.
But he still wears a hair and a scumbag beard, but the man never seems to care about his image, as long as there is wine, then Lao Tzu is a well-known hero.
The young man wondered in his heart, although the lonely old woman was amiable, she didn't look like the man's relatives, and the "nine days" in the mouth of this old woman finally gave her all the broken silver, and said what her grandson dragged him to send.
The young man was confused, and asked as he walked, "Is that old woman really your relative?"
The man didn't joke with the boy again this time, sighed slightly, and said, "I've been an orphan since I was a child, where did I come from a relative in the city." ”
The young man nodded lightly and did not answer, it was rare to see the man so serious, and at the same time a little depressed.
"Four years ago, I was expelled from my master's door, and when I came down the mountain, I met a gang of robbers who were blocking the road and robbing a young couple. At that time, the man was in the year of the weak crown, and took his wife who had just gotten married, and went to the capital to take the exam, and the gang of robbers not only robbed the young scholar of the exam fare, but also arrested his wife to go back to be the wife of the village, and the woman swore to die, and died on the spot on a big tree on the side of the road. ”
Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but clench his fists, and there was a fierce glint in his eyes.
The man continued: "The scholar who rushed to take the exam was heartbroken and also died in martyrdom. ”
The man paused for a moment before he said: "When I arrived, the scholar who was rushing to take the exam was already dying, he told me the general situation, and then he left with his wife, but he finally begged me to go home and tell his grandmother who raised him with hard work, and said that he was admitted to the emperor's list, but it will take many years before he can go home to fulfill his filial piety, in fact, he is lying to his grandmother, that is, the mother-in-law we have just met, to let her live well." ”
Then I killed all the robbers. ”
Later, I found the mother-in-law's house and told her the story made up by the scholar who was rushing to take the exam, and when I left, I found that the rice jar in my mother-in-law's house had bottomed out, and although she only drank one porridge a day to survive, she was still very happy after hearing the news. ”
"After that, I would pass by here every spring and give her some silver. ”
After listening to the story, Yang Twenty sighed in his heart, and at the same time, he paid a little more respect to this sloppy man, and then remembered the bowl of refreshing sauerkraut noodles that he had just eaten from that mother-in-law, which was really warm in his heart.
Moreover, at that time, the man also introduced Yang Twenty to the mother-in-law as a friend of his.
The four words "friends in the rivers and lakes" really made the teenager at this time inexplicably gratifying.
It turns out that the chivalrous men and lakes are all so chivalrous and righteous!
......
In the next few days, Yang Twenty found out more and more that the man had indeed not lied to him before, and after passing through Shangyong County, except for three or two scattered villages and towns, almost all of them were rugged mountain roads after that.
The terrain is also gradually rising, the mountains are continuous, the peaks are rising from the ground, and even the river is no longer a babbling stream, but a big river with big waves.
Ten years later, the two finally stepped out of a mountain range, and the terrain in front of them was relatively gentle and open, but still surrounded by mountains.
The man found a village wine shop, poured a large pot of rice wine brewed by the villagers, and then began to continue his journey.
Another three days passed.
They came to the foot of a large mountain, and when they looked up, the mountain was steep, and the jungle was so dense that it was almost impossible for pedestrians to pass through it, and from time to time there were strange noises, like wild beasts, and like wild men shouting, just standing at the bottom of the mountain, giving people a different kind of atmosphere full of primitive meaning.
Yang Twenty turned his head to look at the man, and wanted to ask if he wanted to continue to climb over the mountain.
Unexpectedly, the man actually looked at the mountain in a daze, with tears in his eyes.
The young man didn't speak, and followed the man to look up at this stretching mountain that spans hundreds of miles, which is really majestic.
Suddenly, the man shouted at the mountain, "Master, the apprentice sees you coming." ”
The sound was thick and long, echoing through the valley.
Then he knelt down.
Yang Twenty finally understood why the man went all the way south, it turned out that this was his destination, to see his master coming!
After a long time, the man came back to his senses, sat on the ground, and said to the young man next to him: "When I was nineteen years old, I was framed by a woman in the rivers and lakes and was chased and killed. ”
When the man is serious, Yang Twenty will naturally not engage in ghosts without authorization, and this is the first time that Yu Jiutian has mentioned his own related deeds, so the young man nodded silently.
But before the young man could reminisce about the feeling of being serious for nine days, the familiar scoundrel man immediately returned.
No matter what kind of undignified man he is, he is even more scoundrel than Yang Twenty and the number one ploppy Li Hutou in their village, just after saying that sentence, he immediately lay on the ground, kicked his feet to the sky, and cried: "But it's so dignified, why did the old man drive Lao Tzu out of the master's door......"
The boy was momentarily speechless.
In the end, I really had no choice but to comfort: "If you really miss your master, wouldn't it be good to go up the mountain to see him, what's the use of crying as a big man." ”
The man turned over and sat up, his face changed instantly, and he even looked a little proud, "Do you know what kind of place this is?"
The boy shook his head.
Not only because he really didn't know where this was, but also because the man's face changed speed, which made his thinking a little unable to keep up.
The man raised his hand to the mountains around him and said loudly: "This is the forbidden land of the rivers and lakes, Shennongjia, also known as Baili Hengshan." ”
The young man was puzzled: "Why is this a forbidden place in the rivers and lakes, and people are not allowed to go up the mountain?"
The man snorted twice, picked up the fist with only his thumb outstretched, pointed it at himself, and said proudly: "Because my master's name is Dugu Heng, sixty years ago, his old man made a rule, the martial artist of the rivers and lakes, the trespasser, died." ”
Then he immediately deflated and said: "Even now even Lao Tzu doesn't dare to go up the mountain easily." ”
The young man's face was full of surprise, "Isn't this the king of the mountain?
The man was instantly amused by the young man's innocent question, and said, "What if you occupy the mountain as the king?" However, there is no prohibition on the common masters under the mountain, but they dare not go up the mountain. ”
The young man was still puzzled, "Why don't you dare to go up the mountain without a ban?"
"Because there is a ...... on the mountain"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a sound of breaking the sky.
A black-robed man came against the wind and landed at the foot of the mountain.
Then several more people arrived and stood behind the black-robed man.
One of them, a teenager, recognized him.
It's the fake master of the school who drove their mother and son to a dead end last fall.
It seems that Yu Jiutian's guess was not bad at first, it was the group of minions of the Kunlun faction who moved the rescuers and chased them all the way.
What the young man didn't know was that this black-robed man who took the lead was the culprit of Granny Gui's tragic death.
In fact, they had already come to the foot of this mountain five days ago, waiting for the rabbits, and it was the long howl of the Nine Heavens just now that led them over.
The black-robed man stood solemnly at the foot of the mountain, staring at the two young men opposite, and did not speak.
The fake master, who had already taken off his Confucian shirt and put on a costume of the Kunlun sect, took half a step forward and said, "Little brother, where have you been in the past six months, let's find it easily." ”
Yang Twenty clenched his fists, his eyes widened with anger, one day in the future, he would go to the Kunlun faction to seek revenge, and the first person to kill was this person.
The sloppy man next to the young man, at this time, was calm, picked up a piece of grass, held it in his mouth, and once again returned to his cynical underwhelming appearance.
Seeing that the young man looked at him angrily, he did not answer.
The fake master smiled slightly, and spoke again, but this time it was not with the young man, "Presumably this is the famous Fourth Master of Hengshan!" This young boy originally belonged to my Kunlun, and he wanted to have nothing to do with the Fourth Master. ”
The black-robed man's expression remained unchanged, and he remained solemn, showing the demeanor of a grandmaster.
The sloppy man took the grass in his mouth and chewed it carefully, as if he didn't see this group of Kunlun visitors with good strength at all, but just looked sideways at the woods on the side of the hillside.
Yang Twenty stood in place with red eyes, facing everyone.
The black-robed man's lips moved slightly, and he slowly spit out two words: "Take it." ”
The fake master made a gesture to the two behind him to go and grab someone, but he still didn't move.
The two had no choice but to go to get someone, although they were going to arrest the young Yang Twenty, but their eyes were always locked on the sloppy man.
Naturally, this is also the reason why the fake master did not dare to rush forward.
Not to mention that this hundred miles of Hengshan is the nightmare of most Jianghu martial artists, just this sloppy man in front of him who doesn't know the depth is enough to make these second-grade martial artists fearful.
The two of them trembled in their hearts, but they could only step forward slowly.
Yu Jiutian sat on the ground, his eyes wandering, as if he was enjoying the scenery at the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly, he held up his hands above his head.
The two people of the Kunlun faction, who were already frightened, instantly pulled out their swords.
However, the sloppy man just stretched a comfortable waist.
There was already sweat oozing from the foreheads of the two of them, not that they were as timid as mice, but that in this place, on this mountain, there were too many terrifying deeds back then.
What's more, this eccentric man happens to come from this hundred-mile horizontal mountain.
