"Do you know that the Emperor Heavenly Sect is a sect with four sects and sixteen palaces......

The tea picker wanted to tell something about the Emperor's Heavenly Sect to prove his identity.

But the bamboo cutter didn't seem interested, stretched his waist, and yawned: "I'll talk about the Demon Sect later." I haven't slept all night, I'm so sleepy, I'll squint for a while. Yuluo sat down on the ground, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and began to take a nap.

The tea picker angrily waved two punches at the air in front of him to relieve his anger, and said: "Everyone has to have a name, you don't have a name, I'll give you one." Regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, he said to himself: "In the past few days, we have met each other many times. There is a saying in the ancient poem, 'meet in the red dust, and make a golden whip'. It's a little ugly to call it 'Golden Whip' or 'Golden Whip', so take the sound of 'Red Dust' and call you 'Hongchen', the flood of torrents, the stars of Chen. ”

Then he glanced at the bamboo cutter who didn't react, and said dissatisfiedly: "What, it doesn't sound good?"

The bamboo cutter seemed to be really tired, he didn't open his eyes, and only snorted twice: "Call it, call it, just call Hongchen." ”

Seeing that he didn't care so much, the tea picker felt even more angry: "What is it called Hongchen, call you shit." ”

The bamboo cutter had no objection, and the tea picker kicked him lightly on the thigh: "Don't you wonder what my name is?"

"What's your name?"

The bamboo cutter said.

The tea picker raised his head: "I am the dignified Heavenly Sect Master, if you take the initiative to ask, I may be able to tell you the name." Now it's like I'm forcing you to ask, so I won't tell you. ”

The bamboo cutter didn't ask any further questions, and even snored lightly.

After running all night, and after hundreds of moves with masters like Song Xiao, the bamboo cutters were really tired, their heads were dizzy, and they fell asleep when they closed their eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the bamboo cutter found that the tea picker had changed his appearance again, turned into a hunchback, and was wearing a red satin coat.

The tea picker saw that the bamboo cutter woke up, and sneered: "I also said that I slept a lot, you can really sleep, and it will be the next day, lazy pig." ”

"It's been a day?" the bamboo cutter was stunned, and then said, "I'm not a lazy pig, I have a name—my name is 'Hong Chen'." ”

"Oh, Hong Chen. When the tea picker saw that he had received his name, he was finally relieved, and threw him another red robe, "Change your clothes and come with me." Xiangyun City can't stop us, but we can't leave a trace and lead trouble to the door. ”

Hong Chen began to change his clothes, but the red clothes embroidered with birds with gold thread were cumbersome and cumbersome to wear, and it took more than a moment to put them on, and then the tea picker looked at him and laughed. Hong Chen asked why he was smiling, and the tea picker held back a smile and said, "It's nothing." Then he pulled a square red cloth and put it on Hong Chen's head: "As long as there are others around, don't speak, don't make a sound, and don't take off this cloth." ”

Hong Chen nodded: "Okay." ”

The tea picker looked Hong Chen up and down, laughed again for a while, and then picked up the bamboo basket and walked out of the room with Hong Chen's sleeve.

When he went out, the tea picker stopped and said, "I think about it, I still have to tell you." My surname is Ji Mingcha, and the people in the rivers and lakes call me 'tea pickers', and my real identity is the leader of the Huangtian Sect, but you can know it yourself, don't tell outsiders. ”

Hong Chen said: "You help me find the knife, I won't say a word." ”

Ji Cha was secretly happy in his heart: Originally, he was a fledgling, and he just wanted to have a small fight with some second- and third-rate sects, and it would be good to make a name for himself, but now he has deceived a Hong Chen who has extraordinary martial arts and is very naïve, maybe he can really turn the river and the sea and stir up the rivers and lakes.

"Wow. ”

The innkeeper heard the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, and couldn't help but be surprised when he looked over - when did the hunchbacked guest a few days ago become the groom's official? When did the bride enter the room?

Ji Cha saw Xiao Er's surprised expression and was very proud.

A few days ago in the forest, Hong Chen made himself so embarrassed, and now let him wear the bride's clothes and be his daughter-in-law for a few days, which can be regarded as revenge.

The two went to the backyard with Xiao Er, and when Ji Cha was about to get on the donkey, he remembered that there was no reason for the groom to ride a donkey and the bride to walk, so he could only give the donkey to Hong Chen, and scolded Hong Chen several times in his heart.

Ji Cha led the donkey out of the inn and went north to Xiangyun City.

This time, I have to take the waterway to the "Dark Cloud City".

Originally, the next destination was "Guiyun City", but when Ji Cha went to steal the clothes of the bride and groom, he had already heard that after the leader of the Chengfeng Gang in Guiyun City was defeated by the bamboo cutters a few days ago, he was disheartened, sealed the knife and went into hiding, and he didn't know where to hide with the treasure knife.

The target can only be replaced with the "Broken Jade Hall" of Dark Cloud City's "Broken Jade Hall".

As for the cold gold knife in Xiangyun City, on the one hand, the vigilance of the Golden Knife Gate has been strengthened, and it may be more difficult to steal it again, on the other hand, the cold gold knife itself is large and heavy, and it is inevitably cumbersome.

After leaving the city, I walked five or six miles of official roads and arrived at the wharf. Rolling river, wide and deep, look like black from afar, get the name "Yemo River", run from northwest to southeast, is the largest river in Yunzhou.

There is an endless stream of boats and boats in the river, and there are many merchants and pedestrians on the shore. Ji Cha found a passenger boat on the dock, one person and one penny, and arrived in Wuyun City in one night and half a day. But the boatman didn't let the donkey on the boat, so Ji Cha sold the donkey to a passing farmer for five taels of silver, and then took Hongchen on the boat.

The passenger ship was not large, but it was a cabin, and there were already six people sitting in it, all dressed in leather clothes with bows and arrows, as if they were hunters traveling together, eating dried meat and drinking soju, and when they saw a camel bridegroom coming to take the boat, they moved a little and made way for them to sit down.

A bearded hunter said loudly: "Dude, how much money did you buy a wife?"

Ji Cha stretched out the five fingers of his right hand and said hoarsely: "Five taels." ”

The hunters looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Camels generally can't talk about their wives, so they can only buy them. I bought it for only five taels of silver, I'm afraid it's an ugly woman with a pimple on her face, no wonder the hijab is so thick.

Ji Cha felt that his hand was pinched, and he turned his head angrily, and found that it was Hong Chen who pinched him. Hong Chen's index finger swiped a few times on the back of Ji Cha's hand, which was the word "meat".

Ji Cha was funny in his heart, it turned out that he was hungry when he saw others eating bacon, you kid, you have today. He pretended not to understand, closed his eyes and dozed off. Suddenly, I remembered that people had invited me to eat fish, wouldn't it seem stingy to be so stingy? So I found some loose silver, bought an air-dried beef jerky with Orion, tore it into two long strips, ate one for myself, and gave Hongchen the other one.

Hong Chen couldn't remove the hijab, so he could only tear the beef jerky into small pieces little by little, and then send it to his mouth. The beef jerky was a little salty, and he was thirsty after not eating much, so he wrote the word "water" on the back of Ji Cha's hand.

Ji Cha took out a gourd from the bamboo basket and shook it, there was still some water in it, but he couldn't help but raise his head to drink water, so he asked Hong Chen to press the part above his head and nose and feed him water.

The hunters couldn't see Hong Chen's whole face, but they saw that the lower half of his face was very white and his lips were very red, and they whispered to each other, saying that this woman might have pimples on her forehead.

Not long after, two more people came up from the ship. A man in his twenties, with green shirts and white boots, looks like a passing Confucian student. The other was an old man in a shabby blue shirt, thin and weak, but his eyes were very energetic.

At this point, the passenger ship was full, and the boatman untied the rope tied to the dock and rocked the boat.

Along the way, the hunters talked and laughed, talking about nothing more than how much money the goods in hand could be sold for in Dark Cloud City, or which big girl and little widow in the village were handsome, and what kind of happy places in Dark Cloud City were available. Confucius had nothing to do with them, took a book to read, and the old man closed his eyes and slept.

Ji Cha was a little bored, so he interjected with the hunters: "Hey, you know about the recent major events in Xiangyun City. ”

The bearded Orion said, "The big deal? is that Wang Yuanwei, the head of the Golden Sword Sect, was killed by the Demon Sect killers." Some people say that the Demon Sect may arrest and kill people in Xiangyun City in the next step and use people's brains to practice martial arts, so many people are so frightened that they hurriedly go out to avoid the limelight for a while. ”

Ji Cha said: "How can the magic coach use to dig out people's brains, and the people who spread this are either stupid or bad - maybe the coachmen and boatmen want to take the opportunity to raise the market price." ”

The Orions agreed, and echoed that the small broken boat they were sitting on now would usually go to Dark Cloud City for a penny of silver. The boatman outside the cabin heard it and shouted that he loved to sit or not, and if he didn't sit and return the money, get down. Everyone in the cabin laughed and didn't mention it again. Ji Cha told the hunters that the one who killed Wang Yuanwei may be the strange thief "tea picker" who became famous before. The mountain hunters didn't know who the tea picker was, so angry that Ji Cha wanted to beat people.

In the evening, everyone went to sleep, and the shipwreck dropped the anchor and lay down in the cabin to rest. Ji Cha and the others were asleep, and then they lay on the bamboo basket and closed their eyes, and they were sleepy and drowsy, and in a blur, they suddenly heard a few very strange sounds—it seemed that someone had stepped on the outer deck.
