Chapter 368: Recognizing Ancient Characters at Night
Zhang Dafei said: "I know who killed the old monk. He looked at the two girls and analyzed: "A few days ago, about the five heroes, they dug the grave and got a silk book, thinking that it was the "Book of Immortals", cannibalism, the five heroes died three, only the two heroes and the five heroes remained, they couldn't recognize the ancient characters on the silk book, so they looked around for someone to recognize the words, afraid that the other party would know the meaning of the silk book, so after recognizing, they killed people and killed their mouths, and the four heroes of the rivers and lakes chased them in four ways, just to prevent them from killing people. ”
Zhang Dafei looked at the old monk on the ground and said, "I think this old monk must have met them at night and was killed by them." ”
"So what now?" asked Huang Min.
Zhang Dafei looked at the village in the fog and said, "The monk just died, I think they must have gone to the village in front." We're going to go now, and we'll stop them from killing again. ”
Zhang Dafei led the horse and let the two girls get on the horse, Zhang Dafei led the horse, walked on a small road to the south, ran forward, and soon walked on the main road, and ran towards the east.
It didn't take long to come to the village soon, Zhang Dafei said: "The village is full of poor families, where are there people who can recognize ancient characters." ”
Walking to the east, I saw a family with a large courtyard and neat houses, and I thought it was here. Looking at the courtyard wall, it was not high, and when he came to the courtyard wall, Zhang Dafei confessed:
"The two of you look into the courtyard, and if there is a fight inside, you will shout for fire. ”
The two girls agreed.
Zhang Da jumped up the fence and looked at the courtyard, and sure enough, there was a room with lights on, and there was a sound of talking from inside. Zhang Dafei jumped into the courtyard and quietly ran towards the room.
The two girls were on horses, and their four eyes were just enough to see the inside of the courtyard.
Zhang Dafei ran to the window. Since it was a summer night, the window was ajar. Zhang Dafei hid behind the window, looked in, and sure enough, two big men in Guanzhong forced an old man with a white goatee to recognize the ancient characters on the silk book in the candlelight.
These two big men are the two and five heroes in the "Guanzhong Five Heroes".
They slept in a house with the four heroes in the Golden Bull Temple. The two saw that the four males couldn't stand it in the end, and the one only pointed forward, and was about to fall asleep, but the two males were the same, and suddenly got up, slashed with a knife, and killed the four males with two knives. The two males searched for the silk book, and the two fought for the silk book, but they did not give in, and the last knife chopped the silk book into two, and one person divided it into half and left overnight. Therefore, during the day, the "Four Heroes of Jianghu" came with Zhang Dafei and pounced.
The two males crossed the mountain and headed northeast, hoping to find someone who could recognize the ancient characters on the silk book, but they walked for two days, and they were all rural and remote areas, and they were all illiterate people. The two did not give up and continued to head southeast. At night, when I walked to a market town, there was a teacher in the town, and the two took out the silk book for him to recognize. The old gentleman shook his head, pretended to be, and chatted for a long time, unable to recognize an ancient word.
The two males got angry and slashed him with a knife. The two males did not rest, and if they wanted to understand the ancient characters on the silk book as soon as possible, they did not sleep, and when they encountered a mountain, they passed through the mountain. Walking in the mountain road, I happened to meet an old monk walking by the moon.
Because Zhang Dafei wanted to save Zhou Ping, the old monk was afraid of being affected and ran away overnight. Originally, he went over the mountain to the north to take refuge in one of his senior brothers, but when he walked out of the mountains, he thought that his senior brother was stingy by nature and could not tolerate people, so he thought of going to the village in the south of the mountain to take refuge temporarily.
I didn't want to go out of the mountains quickly, so I met the "two heroes in Guanzhong". When the two males saw an old monk, old and old-looking, as if he could recognize ancient characters, they took out the silk book and asked him to recognize it.
In fact, the moonlight is bright, and the old monk can recognize one or two words with a silk book, which is actually no better than the old gentleman who teaches.
When the two males were angry, they wanted to kill the old monk. The old monk also saw the opportunity, saw the two of them with a fierce light in their eyes, knew that it was not good, turned around and ran. The two males caught up from behind, slashed at them, and blood burst out, and they fell to the ground. When the two males saw the monk falling, they thought they were dead, packed the silk book, and walked out of the mountain facing south.
The old monk was not dead, but after a while, he came back to life, and ran out of the mountain with all his might. Running out of the mountain, I thought that when I went to the village, the blood would not stop, and I was afraid that it would be too late, so I decided to go to the temple first and find some herbs to stop the bleeding.
He ran to the west, just in sight of Huang Min, the old monk saw that there was a savior, he ran two steps, the blood spurted wildly, the blood had dried up, and he fell to the ground and really died.
Besides, the two males walked out of the mountain and saw a big village faintly in the moonlight in the distance, so they walked towards that village.
Walking to the village, I was disappointed, a small village, a small thatched house, staggered from side to side, and at a glance, I knew that there were all poor people who lived in some big words and did not know a single word.
The two males walked eastward, and finally saw a family, the house was still neat, and there was a large yard, in addition to a few fruit trees, there were flowers and plants everywhere, and it was thought that its owner must be an idle and elegant scholar. The two males climbed over the wall into the courtyard, kicked the door into the house, and grabbed the old man sleeping in the house.
The old man trembled with fright, and said, "Good, good man...... Spare your life, spare your life......"
"We don't kill you, we just tell you to recognize ancient characters. ”
When the old man heard this, he was itching in the middle and hurriedly said, "Recognize, recognize." ”
This old man is also a rich man in this village, and he studied ancient characters while he was full. But in this poor and remote country, although he knows hundreds of ancient characters, who understands that this old man has some talents.
No, two strong men came tonight, forcing him to recognize ancient characters, his waist straightened up, his body no longer trembled, his courage became bigger, and he didn't tremble anymore, and said:
"What ancient words, I recognize them. ”
Erxiong took out the silk book. The old man's eyes were dizzy, and he said, "Follow me to the study." ”
The old man led the way, led the two males to the study, and lit a candle. The old man sat on the chair, and the two heroes spread out the silk books. The old man looked at the silk book and really recognized it word by word.
A scroll of silk books was recognized. Erxiong hurriedly rolled up the silk book, stuffed it into his arms, and said to Wuxiong:
"It's time to get your copy of the silk book. ”
The five heroes said: "Second brother, don't you still have one, take it out, admit it, and then recognize my two copies." ”
The second male said: "Fifth brother, why do you only recognize me with these two copies, take them out quickly." ”
The five heroes just refused. The old man also persuaded: "This radius of hundreds of miles, only I recognize these ancient characters, you all take them out, let me recognize them." ”
Wuxiong said: "Second brother, you are older than me, you can take it out." ”
Erxiong said: "I've already taken one, it's time for you to take it out." ”
The old man said, "Take it out quickly, let the little old man recognize it." The five heroes couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly drew their knives and slashed at the old man.
"Wait. ”
There was a loud shout outside the window, and a cold light sword stabbed towards the five heroes.
The person who came was Zhang Dafei.
Wuxiong hurriedly dodged the sword, but he didn't dodge a knife behind him after all, and he fell. When the old man saw that he had killed someone, his legs were so frightened that he crawled under the table, and looked at the two eyes of the five heroes on the ground who were still open, and kept looking at him, and the old man's whole body began to shake violently again.
It turned out that when the five heroes were dodging Zhang Dafei's sudden attack, the two heroes behind them immediately made a decision, swung away with a knife, and cut half of the five heroes' heads into the air.
"Guanzhong Five Heroes", competing for the "Book of Immortals", killing each other, and now there is only one male left of the five heroes, that is, the two heroes who are the second brother.
Seeing Wuxiong fall to the ground, Erxiong stepped on the corpse and killed Zhang Dafei. The two quickly fought in the cramped study. These two males took a fierce path, dancing with a machete, and each knife could cut the enemy in two. But Zhang Dafei is a light sword, avoiding its sharpness, waiting for the gap to advance, how can he resist the enemy for a while?
Zhang Dafei saw that he couldn't show his skills in this narrow room, so he had to turn over and jump outside the house, holding a sword to meet the enemy. The two males did not chase out of the window, he leaned over and turned the five males over, reached out and took out the two silk books in his arms, and put them in his arms.
Erxiong jumped out of the house, picked up the machete and slashed at Zhang Dafei, the knife was fierce and fierce, and Zhang Dafei couldn't resist it for a while.
