Shaolin Temple, known as "the world's martial arts out of Shaolin" reputation, and Wudang is the leader of the Central Plains sect, collectively known as the two sects of martial arts.

There is a small city at the foot of Wudang Mountain, called "Phoenix". There is also a small city at the foot of Shaolin Mountain, called "Tianlong".

"Brother Liu, Shaomu Mountain is far away from the official road, why is there a small city?"

February 28, evening. Liu Xunyi and his entourage arrived at Tianlong City, and suddenly the night wind suddenly rose, dark clouds covered the moon, lightning suddenly came, dark thunder rolled, and a downpour was about to fall.

Due to the inconvenience of going up the mountain on a rainy night, Liu Xunyi decided to rest in the city for a night and go to Shaolin early tomorrow morning.

Along the way, Pan Yun chattered around Liu Xunyi, and kept asking questions.

Although Pan Yun's martial arts are mediocre, his personality is very similar to Pan Chuba when he was young, and he has to break the casserole to ask the end in everything, especially the strange things in the rivers and lakes, and he is even more interested.

"Tianlong City is not a city, it was originally just a market at the foot of Shaomu Mountain, and the people of the nearby ten miles and eight villages, every fifteenth day of the new year, bring the vegetables and fruits they grow here, and sell them to the monks in the temple for their daily use. Later, because Shaolin is famous all over the world, there are more and more people who come to visit, whether it is the people in the rivers and lakes, or the good men and women who burn incense and worship the Buddha, there is an endless stream all day long, and this market has gradually become prosperous day and night. Where there are people, there are business opportunities, so over the decades, the market gradually evolved into a market town, and finally into the small town it is today. ”

"Then why is it called Heavenly Dragon City?" Pan Yun asked curiously.

Because this city was born because of Shaolin, and at the same time is located at the foot of the mountain portal, it is the only place to enter and exit Shaolin, it is considered to be related to the Buddha, and there is the meaning of guarding the mountain gate, so in order to seek auspiciousness, it takes the word "Tianlong" in the "Eight Heavenly Dragons" of Buddhism as the name, called Tianlong City. ”

Pan Yun looked at Liu Xunyi with admiration in his eyes, and sighed again and again: "Brother Liu is worthy of being Brother Liu, he is really well-informed!"

When Tang Cong heard this, he jokingly said: "Count it out, the master of the door should also call Pan Gongzi 'uncle'." Now Pan Gongzi is shouting one by one, 'Brother Liu', strange!

Tianlong City is built on the mountain, and there is only one main road in the city, which is the mountain road up the mountain. The two sides are interspersed with alleys of different shades, teahouses, restaurants, inns, and people's houses, which are scattered and lined up one after another.

As he spoke, Liu Xunyi and his entourage came to the door of the Tianlong Inn.

"The rainstorm is coming, a few guest officers hurry up and come in! I don't know if it's a tip or a hotel?"

"Stay!"

Liu Xunyi cautiously glanced around the lobby of the inn, and saw that the inn was bustling and quite lively, and said, "Get some food first, let us fill our stomachs." ”

"Okay!

Liu Xunyi led Xu Heng, Tang Cong, Liao Chuan, and Liao Hai. Pan Chuba took Pan Yun, Pan Yuyin, Pan Feng, He Hu, plus a Li Laohu who was sealed in the acupoint. There are as many as 11 people in the group, and in order to hide people's eyes and ears along the way, they disguised themselves as a family that came to Shaolin to burn incense and worship the Buddha, including old and young, men and women, but quite a bit of appearance.

"The wine and food are here!" the guy greeted as he served the food, "Look at the dress of a few guest officers, but you want to go to the temple to burn incense?"

"Exactly!exactly!" Pan Chuba asked lightly, "I don't know what advice the little second brother has?"

"Then please come back! The man explained, "From tomorrow until the third day of the third month of March, the Shaolin Temple will be closed to guests, which is the order of Master Xuanming, saying that the temple will hold a puja and need to be purified." ”

Of course, Liu Xunyi understood what the guy meant by the "Fa Meeting", and then changed his words and said tentatively: "Are there many people coming to Shaolin these days?"

"As always, no more, no less. The guy replied casually, obviously not hearing the deep meaning of Liu Xunyi's words.

"Is there anyone else besides the pilgrims?" Xu Heng asked straight to the point, "For example...... People in the rivers and lakes?"

"This small one can be said for sure, a few guest officers use it slowly, and the small one goes down first. "The guy has been here for many years, and he is used to seeing the Jianghu people who have grievances and grievances with the Shaolin faction, and he has also witnessed countless fights and killings, so he naturally understands the truth that trouble comes from the mouth, so in order to avoid getting into trouble, he just prevaricated a few words casually, and then hurriedly retreated.

"Phew!"

Suddenly, there was a strange sound at the other table, followed by a complaint as bright as a bell, which instantly resounded in the lobby of the inn: "Xiao Er, what kind of wine are you? Why don't you taste it at all?"

Liu Xunyi followed the prestige, but saw a tall and fat man holding a wine bowl, and muttered with great dissatisfaction. This man was dressed in sackcloth and thick trousers, rag shoes, with a bun combed on the top of his round head, a lock of pigtails hanging from the back, and a long knife in front of the table.

This person was the one who had almost killed the Qin Demon Dancing Demon in the Changxing Inn of Xingyuan Mansion, and the Mai swordsman was "ghostly and worried" Qin Ku.

"Guest, what you drank was the leftover wine of other people. I saw that you were pitiful, so I let you sit here, it was good if you didn't ask you for money, but you still picked and choose?" the guy complained, "If you don't like it, you can not drink it!"

"Don't don't, don't!" Qin Ku's originally resentful face suddenly became a happy smile, and he reached out to hold down the wine bowl with a hippie smile, and said with a smile: "I'll drink! I'll just drink! hehe...... Little second brother, don't be angry, I was wrong just now. You go to the back kitchen and see if there are any leftovers, leftovers, etc., and get me some more, there are not enough to eat on the table. ”

"Hey!" the guy glared, pointed at Qin and scolded with a bitter smile, "Do you really treat me here as a good person?" If you let the shopkeeper know that I secretly help beggars, you won't be able to deduct my monthly money? No! No! After eating this, hurry up!"

"People in the rivers and lakes, it is inevitable that three are poorer and five are richer, doesn't my money happen to be spent?" hehe......" Qin Ku was cheeky and said trickfully, "When I have silver one day, I will send it to you." Besides, now that the storm is raging outside, won't I go out and become a chicken in the soup? Little second brother, you are a good person to the end, go and help me take a look, and by the way, take some good wine that has not been mixed with water, this clear soup is not watery, and it is really tasteless to drink. ”

"I said you're ......"

"Little Er, serve this brother some good wine and food!" Without waiting for the guy to reprimand, Liu Xunyi suddenly smiled and said, "His expenses today are all mine!" Liu Xunyi is generous by nature, and has always liked to be "nosy", and he was already known to everyone when he was in Tianji Pavilion.

"Okay!" the man was stunned for a moment, then said yes and happily prepared the food and drinks.

Qin Ku turned around curiously, which made Liu Xunyi see his appearance clearly, with a small nose, small eyes, and a small mouth, which was very strange on a big cake face. Pan Yuyin couldn't hold back for a while, and actually laughed out loud.

"Do we know each other?" Qin asked suspiciously. After that, his gaze looked at Li Laohu, who was gloomy and motionless, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"I don't know. ”

"Then why did you invite me to drink?"

"The rivers and lakes are just in emergency!" Liu Xunyi said with a smile, "What's more, what's the point of just a meal of wine and food? What Your Excellency likes to eat, just order it, and treat you today." ”

Hearing this, Qin Ku's eyes rolled, a smug smile rose at the corner of his mouth, he waved his big hand, and said loudly: "Then I'm not welcome!" Little second brother, give me ten more jars of good wine, cut five catties of beef, and three portions of chicken, duck and fish. Hey hey ......"

"You eat so much, and you're not afraid of dying?" Tang Cong said sarcastically.

"What are you afraid of? It's better to die than to starve to death!" Qin Ku was not angry, and smiled nonchalantly, "What's more, your master took the initiative to invite me to eat and drink, and now he hasn't said anything, you are a distressed fart? It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry!"

"Haha......"

As soon as Qin Ku's words came out, he immediately attracted a burst of laughter from all the diners. Even Xu Heng, Liao Chuan, Liao Hai and others, who were at the same table as Tang Cong, couldn't help laughing.

"You ......"

"Tang Cong!" Without waiting for Tang Cong to refute, Liu Xunyi suddenly spoke, "All over the world are brothers, why do you have to be sneering?" After that, Liu Xunyi glanced at Qin Ku meaningfully, and thought in his heart: "This person has never known me in his life, but he can see at a glance that Tang Cong is my subordinate, and he is definitely not a mediocre person." ”

A small episode was fleeting, and after being full of wine and food, Liu Xunyi arranged for everyone to go back to the room to rest. Before leaving, he also made a special trip to greet each other with Qin Ku with a bowl of wine, which could be regarded as saying hello to each other.

The wind and waves are calm, and there is nothing to say for half a night, until the third watch in the middle of the night.

"Boom! Click!"

Outside, thunder was raging, and torrential rain was pouring down. Under the howling wind and rain, the Tianlong Inn was immersed in a sleep.

The more rainy the day, the sweeter the person can sleep.

Qin Ku, who was staying in the corner of the lobby, slept on his back, snoring shook the sky, echoing the sound of wind and rain outside.

The men who kept vigil couldn't bear the fatigue of their bodies, and fell asleep on the table.

A cool breeze quietly blew in from the door of the inn, and a black shadow as fast as lightning came with the wind.

The innkeeper was still meeting Zhou Gong in a dream, but he suddenly felt a cold on his neck, he subconsciously opened his sleepy eyes, but suddenly found that there was a person standing beside him. At the same time, a cold and piercing short sword was also clinging to his neck.

The person who came was Long Yu.

"You ......"

"Shh

Without waiting for the guy to speak, Long Yu suddenly made a gesture of silence. A heart-palpitating evil smile appeared on his face, leaned over to the guy, and asked with a shuffled smile, "This little brother, may I ask which room Liu Xunyi lives in?"

"Uncle spares his life...... I don't know who you're talking about......" The guy desperately lowered his voice and begged for mercy tremblingly, "The little one didn't offend the uncle......"

"Him!" Long Yu spread out a portrait with his left hand, and the person on the painting was Liu Xunyi, and then asked nervously, "Little second brother, have you seen it?"

"See...... I've seen ......," the man nodded tremblingly, "in the ...... across the stairs," he said, and hurriedly pointed to a guest room on the second floor.

"Very good!" Long Yu nodded with great satisfaction, and then reached out and gently stroked the back of the man's head, as if to coax him to sleep, and whispered, "Good!

The guy looked at Long Yu tremblingly, how could he have the heart to sleep again at this moment? But before he could beg for mercy again, Long Yu's left hand on the back of his head suddenly shook, and with a soft "click" sound, the guy's skull was instantly shattered, and the back of his head collapsed strangely. And Long Yu's five fingers took advantage of the situation to "poof", straight into the man's head, and then squeezed it violently, and the man's seven orifices suddenly flowed white, blood overflowed, and he didn't make a sound until he died.

Long Yu solved the guy with one move, and slowly turned around and walked towards the second floor, sucking the five fingers stained with red and white things as he walked, and a terrifying light of madness and greed appeared in his eyes.

As for Qin Ku, who was sleeping in the corner of the lobby, Long Yu only glanced at it, but ignored it.

"I found Yingchuan from Luoyang, and I found this place from Yingchuan, I thought about you for a long time, I didn't eat tea and dinner, and today I finally let me catch you here. While talking to himself, the excited Long Yu came to Liu Xunyi's door, the bloodthirsty meaning in his eyes became more and more intense, and he smiled excitedly, "After chasing so far, you must not let me down." ”

With that, Long Yu silently poked his short sword into the crack in the door, trying to pick the latch of the door. But before he could make a move, a joking echo suddenly came from the room.

"How can you be, how can you bother Your Excellency to chase after you thousands of miles? But since you are here, how can I disappoint Your Excellency?"

Before the words fell, a sharp sword had pierced out of the room like lightning, instantly penetrating the door and hitting Long Yu's eyebrows.
