Chapter 18: The Old Man Reunited
The closer you get to Juancheng, the more people you will encounter in the rivers and lakes. Large and small sects, rangers from all walks of life, and different hearts and the same way, it can be regarded as a major landscape in Puzhou. Among them, there are many people who are famous for each other and learn martial arts, and naturally there are some people who seek trouble and fight fiercely.
A simple wine shop on the side of the road, but a few tables and a dozen benches for pedestrians to rest and quench their thirst.
Wei Qimu and Zhang Fengchen ran all night, and at this time the sky was already bright and the sun was rising. The two of them rested in this small wine shop and drank some water and wine by the way.
On the table next to Wei Qimu, there were four rough men, sitting with a golden sword. While eating wine and eating meat, they talked about the world as if there was no one around.
Wei Qimu peeked at it and saw that these four people were all born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and they were very majestic. Not only that, but even the physiognomy is somewhat similar. Only the length of the beard and the color of the clothes are slightly different. One of them turned out to be a long-haired man with flowing breasts, who seemed to be the leader.
Each of the four had a black tasseled spear at his feet. The spear was about seven feet five inches long, and three of the three inches at the tip of the spear were made of fine iron. The black tassel is stiff and straight, obviously with a good ponytail. The barrel of the gun is also a piece of alderwood, almost the thickness of the mouth of the bowl. The barrel of the gun was oily, and it was not carved. Only the ridge of the tip of the spear is branded with a "single" character.
Wei Qimu was peeking at the four spears, and suddenly heard one of the men speak: "Hey, look at this battle, I'm afraid there is really something big in Juancheng." No wonder Huang Gong sent us to assist him. ”
The man next to him continued: "No, Huang Gong has always been like a god." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Fengchen heard the words "Shang Junchang", he leaned straight towards the table.
"Brothers, are you going to see Shang Junchang, can you take me with you too?" Zhang Fengchen looked harmless to humans and animals.
"Who are you, what are you doing?" the bold girl who suddenly appeared made the four of them find amused.
"My name is Zhang Fengchen, and I just want to see the style of 'Sai Zhoulang'. What do you call a few brothers?"
These four people do not hide it, they are reckless in the rivers and lakes, and they are naturally arrogant. He arched his hand and said bluntly: "Brother of the single family in Caozhou Huangchao Mansion, I am Shan Xing." ”
"Shan Wang. ”
"Shan Mao. ”
"Shan Sheng. ”
When Zhang Fengchen heard this, he asked, "Who is Huang Chao?"
"You don't even know the name of Huang Chao and Huang Gong?" the four laughed even harder.
Zhang Fengchen wondered in his heart: "Really, why do I have to know him?"
Wei Qimu couldn't stand it, so he had to get up and talk: "Isn't it Huang Jutian who angrily wrote chrysanthemum poems outside Chang'an City back then?"
Although Wei Qimu was a little embarrassed when he first came down the mountain, he still had a heroic spirit, but now he was gloomy by the Manichaean pursuit. It wasn't until I saw the four brothers of this single family that I was infected by their straightforwardness, and my heart was finally a little happy.
The one with the long hair and fluttering chest was Shan Xing, and he replied, "Exactly." Who is this brother?"
"His name is Wei Qimu. Without waiting for Wei Qimu to speak, Zhang Fengchen felt that he couldn't get off the stage just now, so he rushed to say.
And Wei Qimu looked helpless, he didn't want to reveal his identity, after all, he was being hunted down, but it was not safe.
Shan Xing was slightly surprised: "You are the Wei Qimu who killed the young sect leader of the Mani family?"
"After seeing the four brothers, after Wagang Shan Xiongxin, he is really an extraordinary hero. Wei Qimu thought to himself that Huang Chao should have nothing to do with Manichaeism, and it would not be a big deal to reveal his identity. He also generously hugged his fists with the four of them.
The other three brothers also praised: "Brother Wei is good at means and courageous!"
Zhang Fengchen muttered unhappily: "Is Wei Qimu very famous? Is Shan Xiongxin very famous? You actually know each other." Hmph, if you know that I am a descendant of the bearded guest, I am afraid that I will be scared, right? Giggle......" Thinking like this, she herself became happy again.
A few people gossiped a little, and when they were full of wine and food, the four brothers of the single family went together with Wei Qimu and Zhang Fengchen, which made Wei Qimu feel half relieved and half uneasy.
This is reassuring, although the old man is strong, he is definitely not the opponent of the six of them, so he can recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind and enter Juancheng smoothly. What is disturbing is that if there is a fight, won't it cause these people to have a grudge against Manichaeism?
The four men and one woman didn't know what he was thinking, and they talked and laughed happily along the way. Shan Xing saw that the horse that Wei Qimu was riding was really weak, so he smiled and said: "Brother Wei, when you arrive in Caozhou, my brother will choose an excellent mount for you from the Huang Mansion." ”
Shan Sheng was the youngest, but he was in his twenties, and he also smiled: "That's it, a good horse with a hero!"
When Wei Qimu heard this, he was ashamed for a while, and he knew that this single brother was bold by nature, so he smiled and responded.
Shan Sheng said again: "This time I will not only see Shang Junchang in Juancheng, but maybe I can also meet Chu Jiangkai!" There was a bit of fanaticism in his eyes.
Wei Qimu heard Chu Jiangkai's name again, and sighed in his heart: "Like Chu Jiangkai, he is the best among people." He didn't know if it was envy or jealousy.
Wei Qimu was sighing, and saw four horses standing in a row in front of him, blocking the way.
Everyone stopped at a glance, and Wei Qimu looked at it and was greatly distressed. Those four people were none other than the four altar masters of Manichaeism, namely the Blue Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu. It seems that after the old man found out about himself, he recalled the four of them to intercept him.
"Who is in front of us, and why is it blocking our way?" Shan Xing asked in a loud voice.
And Wei Qimu whispered the origin of the four people on the side.
"We are only here for him, and we have nothing to do with anyone else. Qinglong pointed at Wei Qimu and replied quietly.
When Zhang Fengchen heard this, his eyes purred, and he also stretched out his hand to point at the Vermilion Bird, and said, "Hey, we are only here for her, and we have nothing to do with anyone else." ”
Suzaku didn't react for a while, except for Wei Qimu, she and the other five people were meeting for the first time, so she asked, "I don't know you, what are you looking for me?"
Wei Qimu held back a smile in his heart, knowing that this was Zhang Fengchen "treating others in the way of others". The brothers of the single family were not as reserved as Wei Qimu, and laughed together.
When Suzaku saw the appearance of these people, he realized that the woman opposite was making fun of her. She was ashamed for a moment, and a red glow flew on her face, which reflected the red headband, which had a different charm.
The single brothers unscrupulously admired the beauty of Suzaku at this moment, and Wei Qimu was naturally reluctant to miss it. Even the white tiger was stunned for a while, after all, it was the first time he had seen such a red bird.
"Wei Qimu, let's shoot. Qinglong opened his mouth to interrupt Suzaku's embarrassment.
"If you don't make a move, the four brothers of our single family just came to meet the four altar masters. Shan Xing naturally could see that Wei Qimu was injured.
Just as he was about to start, a calm and majestic voice came from afar: "Then let's all stay." The last word came into his ears, and the person had fallen behind Wei Qimu and his party, and they had become a trap with Qinglong.
"See the old man. When the four Qinglong saw the visitor, they bowed on their horses.
Sure enough, the old man caught up with this delay. Wei Qimu, who originally had a chance to win, is now completely at a loss.
"Qinglong, the four of you trap the others, and I will personally deal with this Wei Qimu. "The old man has made arrangements.
Qinglong answered, and the four of them jumped off their horses, stood in four directions, and surrounded everyone.
The old man couldn't help but say, so he directly attacked Wei Qimu. Wei Qimu's injuries had not healed at this time, and he did not dare to take it hard. slapped a palm with his backhand, and with the strength of the old man, he pulled the inferior man to sit down and rushed forward.
And the green dragon in front of him did not stop him, and the old man continued to chase out. Seeing this, Zhang Fengchen also wanted to follow Wei Qimu, but was stopped by Qinglong's sword.
The "Four Elephants Realm Array" has been completed, and Zhang Fengchen and the five brothers of the single family are trapped in it, and there is no conflict for a while.
Wei Qimu desperately fled forward. The moment the old man appeared, he knew that he was incapable of defeating this time. He didn't want to involve other people, so he simply led people to chase after him.
He knew that people only wanted to arrest him alone. He also knew that although the "Four Elephant Realm Array" was powerful, it was only good at trapping people, and the four of Qinglong couldn't help Zhang Fengchen and them.
Wei Qimu only hated that there were no mountains and mountains in this Puzhou boundary at this time, and there were plains and wilderness along the way, and he couldn't hide it at all. The people in the back are always with them, like maggots attached to the bones.
Wei Qimu ran out of several miles in a row, and finally walked out of the deserted road and came to the avenue. There were more pedestrians on the road, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
Further on, where pedestrians gather, is a temple. Wei Qimu was injured, and he wanted to run again, but he was afraid that he would not be able to support it. This is exactly what the old man thinks, so he is not in a hurry.
Wei Qimu walked through the crowd and looked up to see the name of the temple, which was written with three blue and gold characters on a blue background.
This temple is very magnificent, with more than 10,000 Buddha statues, thousands of monks, and many pilgrims. Yicheng Temple was built by the Northern Qi Dynasty and was selected on the former site of Yicheng. Next to the temple, there is the tomb of the sheep's horn mourning and the tomb of the left botao, so it is also called the Yicheng Temple, and the righteousness of the left sheep is taken.
Wei Qimu tied his horse to the willow tree in front of the temple and drilled into the temple.
At this moment, a slightly thin young man in the crowd saw him and hurried after him.
Wei Qimu didn't stop in the front hall, and walked quickly towards the back wing. The others were still in the corridor, and suddenly heard the sound of running behind him, Wei Qimu turned his head to look back, and saw a delicate and thin young man running towards him.
He didn't care at first, but he didn't want to be caught up by the man and grabbed his arm.
Wei ...... Wei Qimu, I finally see you again. The man gasped, "Don't you ...... Go so fast. ”
