Chapter 5 Visitors to the Village
When Xi Zhen came to the capital, the street was very lively, but at this time, he didn't care about the night scene, so he quickly found an inn to live in. He was really annoyed by the wine and food room, not for it, just because the claw immediately tore his clothes. Before the drink was opened, the shopkeeper knocked on the door with a burden, and said with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, a gentleman will hand over this burden to you" Xi Zhen was surprised, thinking that he had no reason to pay in the capital, who entrusted this little er? What was in the baggage? When he asked, the little second man put down the burden and left.
When I opened the baggage, I found a dress and a letter inside. After reading it, Xi Zhen was also happy, and it happened that his clothes were torn, so he just changed into them. Regardless of tomorrow, drink yourself. When I was bored drinking alone, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the window: the charcoal is still warm, and the long wine is warm. Ask you what it looks like, long away from your hometown. Oh, I'm thirsty, I'm hungry, no one is distressed. After hearing this, Xi Zhen smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Old thing, either come in and drink together, or don't disturb my drinking." "Little friends don't know how old they are?" At the door opened, a chubby figure stumbled in, Xi Zhen kicked his left foot, pushed the bench next to him towards the figure, and happened to catch the figure and sit down.
"Hahahaha, Xiaoyou's kung fu has grown again, it is worth celebrating, and drink a few more cups. ”
"Do you know where it is?"
"Thirty miles west of the city, the owner of the village is called Yuan Buwei, and there are many Zhuang guests in the village, and there is no shortage of good players in the rivers and lakes.
Xi Zhen looked at the figure, and saw a middle-aged man, about forty, with big ears, two mustaches hanging between his lips, dressed in brocade, full of wine, and his eyes were blurred.
"Brother He, the younger brother has some questions for you, but you, an old drunkard, are always drunk."
"Don't panic, little friend, say it, brother, I'll talk to you in detail."
Xi Zhen then told him what happened today, and the man's face suddenly became solemn, and he said word by word: "You go to the guest village tomorrow, just to ask for people, to get people, don't stay at all, leave the capital immediately." Xi Zhen was about to ask again, and the man said again: "Okay, you remember what I told you, you have to leave immediately, for your brother there are still important things to do, stay soon, you can do it yourself." Then he got up and walked away. Xi Zhen was very surprised, what could make Iron Arm Zhen Sanshan He Xiong so nervous? But he didn't delve into it, so he didn't do anything all night.
The next day, the road is still covered with snow, but the sky has cleared, this snow melt is just, mixed with the north wind, the cold hits, Xi Zhen rode out of the west gate, and came to a manor in less than half an hour, and the horizontal plaque "Guest Village" was on it. But seeing that the gate of this manor is open, a pair of lions in front of the village, a few villagers at the gate of the village are cleaning the snow, and a couplet is written on the pillar in front of the village, and the couplet says: The birds are crying in the mangroves, singing the rivers and mountains are picturesque. The next link said: People are in Cuiwei, welcoming all beings in the world. Xi Zhen snorted coldly, "What a big breath" and went straight into Dezhuang. When those bankers saw this, they wanted to stop them, but how could they stop them?
Still outside the hall, I heard someone inside say, "Brother Yuan, there are guests coming" Xi Zhen frowned, it was Daoyan's voice, and then stepped in, and what caught his eye was a huge luxury hall: the end is a carved beam painting building, about three zhang high, three big red pillars and four tea houses and eight chairs on both sides of the hall; eighteen kinds of weapons are hung on the walls on both sides, and the person on the left is about sixty years old and the person on the left is sitting on the main seat in the middle, but the hair is black, the figure is tall, the arms are powerful, the face is upright, and the foreign clothes and hats are known. Isn't the person on the right the same monk Daoyan? There are two people sitting on the right side of the attendant seat: expressionless, one is dressed in black, and even his face is black, and only the whites of his eyes can be seen; the other has a white beard and hair, and even his clothes are white, and only his eyes are black. On the other side sat a lama with a fierce face and a face full of stiff beards like sharp knives. The three of them just stared at Xi Zhen, which made people shudder. I saw that the host stood up and bowed his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Your guests are visiting, and I don't have time to welcome you from afar, but I hope to forgive your sins" That Daoyan also smiled and said: "Xi Shaoxia, we meet again." ”
Xi Zhen raised his eyebrows, did not say hello, and asked directly: "My friend is in Guizhuang, and now that I am here, what about the people?"
There was no displeasure outside, and said softly: "Yuan Buwei, the owner of the village, must be Wudang Shaoxia Xi Shaoxia, yesterday my brother was defeated by Shaoxia, and he admired Shaoxia very much, and when he returned to the village, he saw a girl waiting very anxiously, and he thought it was a confidant of Shaoxia, so he invited him to be a guest in the village, and he had no other intention. ”
"Well, then, please return my friend to me, for I have been entrusted with the faithfulness of others. Xi Zhen was very direct, and everyone at the banquet had a slight anger on their faces.
"That's natural, the young man is a good skill, I admire the owner of the village very much, and I want to make friends, therefore, your friend is doing well with the owner" Although Dao Yan was full of smiles, this voice did make people very uncomfortable to hear.
Yuan Buwei immediately said to the inner hall: "Just ask the girl to come out." ”
After a while, the two maids led Guan Qing to the hall, and when they saw Xi Zhen, their cheeks turned red, and they bowed their heads and said timidly: Brother Zhen, I'm sorry for causing you a burden.
Xi Zhen immediately greeted him and said softly: "Sister Qing, it's my fault, I didn't take care of you, you don't blame me." ”
Guan Qing shook her head slightly, and her voice was like a mosquito: "I know you will definitely come to me." ”
At this moment, the lama stood up and said in a loud voice: "Master Yuan Zhuang is the master, you are a guest, but you only care about this girl and talk about love, there is no master in your eyes?"
Yuan Buwei laughed twice, Xi Zhen was disdainful, and only looked at Guan Qing softly and said: "That is, you know the difference between the host and the guest, the host has not yet answered, how can you speak as a guest."
"It's okay, the master doesn't have to be angry, Xi Shaoxia has a temperament, the old man loves it very much, and he is willing to make friends with the young man, if he has a confidant in life, what more can the husband ask for?"
"So that the owner of the village can know that he is just a scholar who is down-and-out in the rivers and lakes, a lonely ghost, but the master next to the owner of the village, is in the Buddhist gate, does not serve the Buddha, but kills in vain, what is the Buddha?" Xi Zhen held Guan Qing with one hand, and said loudly: "The Tao is different, do not conspire with each other, please forgive me for being rude, thank you for taking care of the owner, and say goodbye." Then he turned and wanted to go.
Yuan Buwei's face suddenly became embarrassed, but he still didn't have a seizure, but the lama jumped up, stopped Xi Zhen, and said, "Ignorant junior, with a little effort, can you really run rampant in the rivers and lakes and do whatever you want?" ”
Xi Zhenden understood that it must be the monks who were yesterday's disciples of this lama, and this lama also counted the deaths of several of his disciples on his head because of yesterday's defeat.
The lama did not reply, and with that words he swept across with an iron fist, striking the door in front of him. Xi Zhen was carrying Guan Qing, which was very inconvenient. Guan Qing let out a coquettish cry, surprised and frightened. Xi Zhen kicked his feet, but he could avoid this punch, and his hand took advantage of the situation, helping Guan Qing to a seat and sitting down. His eyes looked at the lama, and his eyes smiled with an evil joke: "What kind of master, what kind of apprentice to teach." ”
The lama couldn't strike a blow, and was teased by Xi Zhen, and he was even more annoyed and angry, his fists were wrong, and he attacked with a bully, but his body was also surprisingly fast. Xi Zhen just dodged, but the lama didn't even touch Xi Zhen's clothes, and more than a dozen moves passed in a blink of an eye. Seeing that everyone in the hall was dumbfounded: everyone knew the lama's skills, although Dao Yan had fought with Xi Zhen, but he didn't do his best, but when he saw this scene in front of him, it was like a raccoon cat playing with a mouse, and Dao Yan was very surprised.
The lama immediately stopped his moves and said hatefully: "You take care of yourself and hide around, whether you fight or not, what kind of hero is you?"
Xi Zhen stopped his footwork and said jokingly: You want to fight, I didn't fight with you, I only hid, and besides, I was just a down-and-out scholar, I was not a hero, and the heroes had already died.
The lama thought of a few apprentices again, and was furious, and suddenly his strength swam all over his body, his fists soared, his green tendons bulged, and his fists hit him again at the same time, one punch hit Xi Zhen's lower abdomen, and one punch hit his chest. Xi Zhen didn't dare to be careless, jumped up, and hit the lama Tianling cover with an iron fan, if this move hit, he had to be killed on the spot, the lama naturally knew that it was powerful, and with his fists closed, he rolled forward with his body, avoiding this move, but he was also shocked and covered in cold sweat.
Xi Zhen landed, the iron fan turned around and pointed back, his sword eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were red, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and his whole body clothes suddenly floated up under the action of internal force, and he said sharply: "Do you really want to fight?" This scene was shocked by everyone, and even the one hundred and two people in the black did not stand up, and their faces seemed to be fearful.
Yuan Buwei moved forward, helped the lama, and smiled at Xi Zhen: "The young man's martial arts are really good, the old man admires it, it's really an eye-opener, it seems that the young man's friend, the old man is settled." ”
Xi Zhen put away his martial arts and arched his hand towards Yuan Buwei and said, "Can I leave in the next place?"
"That's natural, I'm here in the guest village, the young man can come at any time, and leave at any time" Yuan Buwei still had a smile on his face.
"I offended today, and he will come back to your village to ask for sin, and today he will leave. Xi Zhen arched his hand to everyone, helped Guan Qing up, and turned to leave.
Everyone heard that Guan Qing trembled: "Brother Zhen, your eyes are so terrifying, I have seen your face full of murderous intent." ”
"As long as I can protect Sister Qing, I can do whatever it takes. ”
