Chapter 65: Bao inquired
Looking at Xi Zhen's distant back, Pei Feng couldn't bear to leave for a long time, until his back also disappeared from view. Pei Yun patted his sister, sighed and said, "Feng'er, let's go, that's our uncle." Pei Yun understands his own thoughts, but how can Pei Feng not know the voice of his brother's words?
As the sun set, on the golden earth, a pair of shadows were stretched out for a long time. The two supported each other and walked together, maybe when Wudang was in place, everything would be fine.
In Raozhou in May, summer doesn't seem to have arrived yet, and the morning dew is still tingy with a hint of chill. When the sun rises, the red light shines on the earth, and the dew droplets shine on the ground, which is very beautiful. Sanqing Mountain is known as the Little Yellow Mountain, the mountain is steep, the strange stones are craggy, or if the goddess looks at the mountain or if the giant python comes out or if the giant turtle floats. Because of its majestic posture, the literati often traveled together, or to visit the Sanqing Taoist Temple of the Immortals or to watch the sunrise with the top of the mountain. Over time, through word of mouth, people from near and far have heard the wind.
There is an inn at the foot of Sanqing Mountain, which is specially used for tourists to rest and play sharp, and the name is called "Ladder Inn", and the meaning of taking the road up the mountain is also if the ladder is up. On this day, it rained lightly, and the mountain road was muddy and difficult to walk, so tourists gathered at the Sky Ladder Inn. People from all over the world, because of a glass of wine, enjoy the brotherhood of the four seas, and the end is very lively.
The diners drank a few glasses of wine, and the affairs of the south and the north of the world began to talk, from the princes and emperors to the peddlers' pawns, some of them were tangible and colorful, and some were chasing after the wind and shadows, in short, what happened in the world became ordinary in the wine.
"Do you know?" a scholar-like diner shook a paper fan and asked everyone, "It is said that people in the rivers and lakes are looking for someone now, do you know who it is?"
Another diner squinted at the scholar and said, "What Mr. said, could it be that Xizhen of the Wudang Sect?"
Another person dressed as if he was walking the rivers and lakes said: "Yes, yes, it is this person, but do any of you know that the black and white sides of the rivers and lakes are looking for this person?"
Seeing that everyone was stretching their necks and looking forward to it, the man took a sip of wine and said proudly: "I know that a few months ago, this Xi Zhen killed Duguduan, the old gang leader of the Haisha Gang, and Liu Budo, the head of the Zhendong Dart Bureau, in Cangzhou Road. also robbed the birthday gift given to the emperor by King Yan held by the Zhendong Dart Bureau, so now the black and white sides of the rivers and lakes are looking for this Xi Zhen,"
Seeing that everyone's reaction was not very enthusiastic, the man shook his head proudly and said, "If you want to talk about this matter in the rivers and lakes, there is nothing I don't know about it." Seeing that everyone began to coax, Bao inquired and blew his beard and said: "What do you know, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, can you still hide this little thing from me? Don't you know, Xi Zhen was in Cangzhou Road that day, that guy, like a devil from hell." One hand shot quickly and ruthlessly, and the scene at that time, tsk. ”
It seems that this person doesn't seem to be walking the rivers and lakes, but like a storyteller, and this time it really whetted everyone's appetite. Bao Da heard that everyone was staring at him, and his face was full of expectation, he paused, took another sip of wine, and his face was full of intoxication. Everyone shouted, "What happened to you?"
Bao inquired and squinted his eyes and glanced around at everyone, at this time he seemed to be the core of this inn, and everyone was staring at him, looking forward to his next step. Bao inquired and coughed, cleared his voice, and said with his hands dancing: "At that time, the scene was quite terrifying, it was all broken arms and legs, and blood flowed into the city and river." Bao inquired with his eyes closed, as if he was reminiscing about the scene at that time. "It's just that I don't know what happened later, this Xi Zhen seems to have evaporated from the world, and I will never see it again. The imperial court, Yanwangfu, the Wudang faction and other gangs in the rivers and lakes are all looking for him, and they all want to seek revenge on him. ”
Everyone burst into laughter, and the scholar teased: "I see that you don't ask Bao to inquire, but to ask Bao to guess." You said that Yan Wangfu, the imperial court wants to find Xi Zhen for revenge? Even if the Haisha Gang and the Zhendong Dart Bureau want to seek revenge on him, what revenge will the Wudang faction seek from him?" Everyone began to laugh again, and Bao inquired and argued: "You know a fart, do you know more about the things on the rivers and lakes or do I know more?" They don't know where this Xi Zhen is, I can know if I ask. This was where Bao's inquiring came to an abrupt end, for he saw a stunning beauty appear at the door of the inn.
The person who came was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and with a hat, she could vaguely see the melon seed face and red phoenix eyes. The woman was dressed in a blue leotard with a cloak over it, and a sword in her right hand. The woman's trouser legs were already wet, and water was dripping down her face. The woman stood outside the door, her eyes fixed on the bag, as if the others didn't exist.
Everyone also followed Bao Inquiring's gaze and saw a stunning beauty, several of them secretly swallowed their saliva, and the lobby of the inn was instantly quiet. Bao Da heard that the woman in this character had been staring at him, and he felt uncomfortable, because he could see that this woman must be a character in the rivers and lakes. And he's just a messy splash on the street, and he really can't be provoked. Walking on the rivers and lakes, there are generally several kinds of people who can't be provoked: monks, Taoists, young people, disabled people, single women, and old people. Because this kind of person must have a stunt when he walks the rivers and lakes, otherwise he would have died a long time ago, and he still dares to walk the rivers and lakes?
Bao inquired and didn't know what was going on, but he vaguely felt a little wrong, and slowly sat down and lowered his head to drink. The woman also walked slowly into the shop, which was extremely quiet at this time, as if a silver pin could be heard when it fell to the ground, and everyone held their breath, wondering what would happen later.
I saw the woman slowly walk in front of Bao Inquiring, Bao Inquiring looked up at the woman, continued to lower her head and drink, but her shaking hands spilled the wine on the table. The woman stared at Bao and still didn't speak, and Bao asked tremblingly, "Auntie...... Nun...... Girl...... You...... You are...... Isn't it...... Got the wrong person. ”
The woman suddenly pulled out her sword and stuck it on the table with a thud in her right hand, and with her left hand, she pulled out a short sword from her waist like lightning and flint, and laid it across Bao Diwen's neck. When everyone saw this scene, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, they didn't know what the woman's origin was, and they didn't know how the woman wanted to take the bag and inquire.
I heard the woman's cold voice and whisper, "Where is he, say!" As she spoke, she tightened her dagger to her neck.
Bao asked how he had ever seen such a battle, he usually bullied people rampantly in the township, how had he ever been bullied? But at this time, he didn't dare to speak, he trembled, and the wine he drank turned into a stream of yellow liquid flowing down his trouser legs. Seeing this, the woman's face turned red, and she turned her head and whispered, "In the end, where is he?"
Bao inquired and settled down, trembling and squeezing out a few words from his throat: "Girl, you...... What are you talking about...... That's it...... Who is it? Little ...... The little one who knows it will be ...... Tell ...... Tell...... Inform. "Bao inquired incoherently for a long time.
The woman's face was full of disgust and disgust, and she said, "Didn't you just say that you know where Xi Zhen is? ”
Bao was so frightened when he inquired about Deng, he couldn't speak. At this time, the scholar-like man stood up timidly, pointed to the woman's short sword and said, "Girl, please forgive me for being abrupt, you are like this, even if he knows, he can't say it." ”
When the woman heard this, she felt that something was wrong, she was stunned for a moment, swung her sword into the sheath and shouted, "Now you can tell me where Xi Zhen is." ”
Bao inquired tremblingly, leaning on the corner of the table and trying not to collapse on the ground, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Girl, I'm ...... I inquired, I don't hide it, I inquired about it by relying on this mouth to talk nonsense everywhere and mix a mouthful of wine and a bite of food, how do I know about the banquet...... Where is Mr. Xi? He didn't know what the relationship between this woman and Xi Zhen was, he was afraid that she was an enemy or a friend, so he didn't dare to say that Xi Daxia didn't dare to call her by his name, so he had to change his name to Mr. Xi.
When the woman heard this, she was furious, her face flushed with anger, and the sword in her hand was about to be pulled out again, and said: "You dare to tease this girl, it seems that you are impatient to live, and today I will let you see this girl's methods." ”
Just as he was about to pull out the sword, the bag inquired hurriedly waved his hand, knelt on the ground with a knees and kowtowed like pounding garlic and said: "Aunt and grandma spare your life, don't be sorry for the villain, you have a lot of money, spare the villain." There is an eighty-year-old mother on the villain, and there is a ...... under the villain."
"You dare to tease this girl, it seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin" The woman didn't wait for Bao to finish speaking, and she broke off and scared Bao to inquire.
Bao inquired and immediately pretended to be thinking bitterly, and said to the woman as if flattering: "However, woman, although the villain doesn't know Xi ...... Where is Mr. Xi, but the villain heard from the Lord of Sanqingguan that he appeared in Sanqingguan some time ago. Seeing that the woman was suspicious, Bao inquired and hurriedly swore and said: "The villain swears that he has never deceived the woman, and the woman may as well ask the old man." ”
When the woman heard this, she immediately turned around and walked away with a disgusted expression, and as soon as she reached the door, she turned around a little, and made an object out of her sleeve and nailed it to the table before the bag inquired. Everyone was frightened, and when they saw that it was okay, they looked at it, and it was a yellow ingot of gold. Nail it to the table, and you can't pull it out. By the time they turned back, the woman was gone. Everyone was surprised for a while, and then began to laugh at the bag and inquired.
