Grievances and hatreds, chivalrous floating cases. Full of books and blood, a sword through the rivers and lakes.

Everyone who loves chivalry has a heroic dream in their hearts. They fantasize that one day they can go alone to the rivers and lakes and do chivalrous deeds, or invite a few friends to drink spirits and have revenge, or have a life-and-death battle with the opponents who come to challenge. If they can do so, their lives will be satisfied. However, where do they understand the rules of survival in the rivers and lakes? And where can they realize the emotion that "people are in the rivers and lakes, but they can't help themselves." Perhaps, only when they really step into the rivers and lakes, become a Jianghu people, and experience the bloody wind and rain of the rivers and lakes, and the ruthlessness of the sword, can they understand the inner meaning of the word "rivers and lakes": it is easy to step into the rivers and lakes, but it is difficult to exit the rivers and lakes.

It is said that during the reign of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a mountain sixty miles west of Luoyang City, Henan Province, called Guling Mountain. This mountain is a small hill in the Bears Ears Mountains, the mountain is not high, the peaks are not strange, but it is very famous. Because at the foot of the mountain is the famous Aoki Gang Luoyang rudder.

In the rivers and lakes, the Aoki Gang and the Beggar Gang are equally famous, known as the two heroes of martial arts, and they are also the two largest gangs on the ground in Luoyang. It's just that in recent years, under the wise leadership of the gang leader Jia Shenyi, the Aoki Gang has greatly increased in strength and has the momentum to overwhelm the beggar gang.

At this time, it is the beginning of spring in March, the earth has been thawed, and it is the time when everything recovers and spring is full of joy. I saw that the lights were displayed outside the gate of the Aoki Gang's helm, and they were full of joy, and the courtyard was full of joy and red, laughter, and it was very lively and jubilant. It turned out that today was the wedding day of the gang leader Jia Shenyi and the Jiangnan woman Chen Xuezhi.

Today, the whole gang is doing their best to organize this great event. The courtyard is full of people coming and going, and it is very busy.

Just after the end of the day, there was an endless stream of guests to congratulate them. Tian Feng, the chief steward, couldn't take care of the cold and biting weather at this time. I saw him bending his fat body, personally leading a group of small people, with a smile on his face, and standing at the gate to greet him respectfully, not daring to slack off at all.

It didn't take long for people from near and far to hear the news, famous people in major gangs, and high-ranking officials and nobles in Luoyang City who came to congratulate them happily. Later, the courtyard was already crowded with people, and it was full. Everyone took this opportunity to get together and talk and laugh, and they were very happy.

It's really poor in the downtown and no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.

Suddenly, someone outside the door shouted loudly: "Welcome guests, Master Qingyun of Songshan Shaolin Temple has arrived." ”

When the people in the courtyard heard the shouts coming from outside the door, they immediately fell silent, and they all whispered below.

"Even the Shaolin Temple has sent people to say hello, it seems that the face of this Jia gang leader is really big enough. ”

"Who's to say it's not, it seems that we will have to get closer to the Aoki Gang in the future. ”

"Yes, now that the Aoki Gang is so powerful, it's good that we can climb this high branch. ”

Just when everyone was praising Jia Shenyi's prestige, I saw a small servant leading a lean, majestic, and gold-stamping robe from outside the door. Holding a string of prayer beads in his left hand and a Zen staff in his right hand, he walked through the crowd without saying a word. Behind him, there were four sturdy warrior monks and two young monks who followed him, and the group walked towards the living room with their heads held high.

Master Qingyun had just stepped into the threshold of the main hall, and a person had already stood up on the main seat. I saw him walk quickly forward to greet him. This man was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, tall and good-looking. gave birth to a Chinese face, a high nose bridge, especially a pair of eyes, large and bright, looking blazing, not angry and arrogant. He was dressed in a bright red robe, wearing a golden crown of flowers, and his temperament was outstanding and very conspicuous. It turned out that this person was the leader of the Aoki Gang, who was famous in the martial arts, and Jia Shenyi, who was known as the "Luoyang Sword Head".

Master Qingyun raised a single palm, bowed to Jia Shenyi, and bowed: "Congratulations to Gang Master Jia on today's wedding." ”

Jia Shenyi hurriedly returned the salute and replied with a smile: "Tongxi, Tongxi." The master came from afar, and he worked hard all the way, so please sit down and drink tea. ”

Master Qingyun said, "Gang Master Jia is polite. Today's Jia gang leader wedding, should have been the abbot of our temple to congratulate him, but the abbot brother is old, the health is sick, the poor monk came to congratulate him, and he also hopes that the Jia gang master will forgive his sins. ”

Jia Shenyi smiled and comforted him: "The master is serious, the abbot of your temple is a martial arts master, a golden body, and he should cultivate well, how dare the family affairs of the younger generation alarm his old man." Moreover, with the master coming to the gang today, it is an honor for the juniors and the brothers of the Aoki gang. In the future, the younger generation will definitely visit the door and visit the abbot in person. I also hope that when the master returns, he will greet the abbot on my behalf. ”

Master Qingyun was moved and said: "Amitabha, the master of the Jia Gang is kind-hearted, your greetings, the poor monk must bring it." ”

Subsequently, Jia Shenyi invited Master Qingyun into the upper seat, and then introduced the guests to him one by one. Everyone drank tea and chatted together, and it was very enjoyable.

When it was the auspicious day at noon, Jia Shenyi, surrounded by many guests, came to the gate happily to wait.

After a while, only the sound of gongs and drums was heard from far and near, and the bride's sedan chair finally appeared in the anxious waiting of everyone. The sedan chair was carried steadily by four big men and gently landed at the door.

At this time, I saw a matchmaker with a smile like a flower walking forward and saying to the sedan chair: "Bride, the groom is about to shoot arrows." ”

Jia Shenyi took a bow from the hand of Tian Feng, who was waiting next to him, picked up the first arrow from the tray, and shot it into the sky after setting it up. The crowd cheered. He took up the second arrow, set it up, and shot it into the ground in front of the door. The crowd applauded again. Finally, he picked up the third arrow, set it up, and shot it towards the minaret at the top of the sedan chair, hitting the tower body, which was to go to the sedan chair. The crowd cheered even louder.

I only heard the matchmaker read aloud: "Three arrows are determined, and the evil spirit is not close all the way." She paused for a moment and said, "Please ask the bride to get off the sedan chair." ”

Immediately, two young and beautiful girls stepped forward, lifted the sedan curtain, and slowly walked out of the sedan chair with the bride. The bride wore a red hijab on her head and wore a red dress, and when she appeared in real form, she immediately caused all the onlookers to cheer and cheer.

Jia Shenyi stepped forward with a happy face, stuffed a red ribbon into the bride's hand, and then pulled her through the crowd of onlookers, ready to walk towards the gate.
