After Wu Min left, Long Xiaotian planned to leave for Huashan immediately, but because he couldn't relieve the depression in his heart, he decided to ride the white whirlwind all the way east to visit the beautiful scenery of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River to relax, and then return to Huashan to report to the master when he was in a better mood.

Although the scenery on the side of the road is beautiful and pleasant, it has never been able to retain Long Xiaotian's heart, and he wants to stop the horse to admire it.

Since Wu Min left a letter in the ruined temple without saying goodbye, he seemed to be a different person along the way, no longer the enthusiastic and heroic personality before, but became very dull, depressed, as if he had lost his soul, and became lifeless and lifeless.

Before he knew it, he had ridden his horse to a small ravine only a few miles from the boundary of Chuzhou, and when he stopped his horse to drink the water of the creek, he saw many monkeys staring at him on the green trees, shouting at him.

On those trees full of monkeys, Long Xiaotian saw that there was a male monkey and a female monkey catching lice on the tree and seemed very affectionate, so he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Hey, you two can love each other in pairs with your beloved kind, but now I am alone, the loved ones don't know where they have gone, and they can't find each other if they want to find it, I really envy you monkey couple!"

When he said this, he saw that his beloved horse White Whirlwind had already drunk enough water, so he rode on White Whirlwind's back and gently stroked its neck and said, "Brother Bai, I'm going to be sorry for you again, please carry me into Chuzhou City!"

And the white whirlwind seemed to understand Long Xiaotian's words, and only heard a hissing sound and carried Long Xiaotian towards the direction of the city.

After arriving in Chuzhou City, Long Xiaotian led the horse to inquire all the way, and finally found a more famous inn called "Little Drunken Fairy" in the city, so he decided to go there to eat and drink.

When he set up his horses and walked into the inn, he saw a shopkeeper in a yellow shirt and a yellow cloth hat at the front desk of the inn skillfully calculating the income and expenses in the restaurant today.

Not only does he plan to make the beads very fast, but also in a very special way, people plan to make the beads generally put the abacus on the table to play, but he likes to put the abacus beads on his left hand to play, and what is even more strange is that the beads will not fall while he is typing a number, which makes Long Xiaotian at this time a little curious, so he walked over and asked: "The way the shopkeeper plans to plate is really peculiar, not only can not let the abacus hit the ground, but also have a way to prevent the abacus beads from falling, how did you do it?"

At the moment when the shopkeeper raised his head, Long Xiaotian saw a face as fat as a winter melon, with two handfuls of beards on the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and replied in a rude and unceremonious tone: "This is handed down by my master, why should I tell you." ”

Seeing him so rude to himself, Long Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. Because in the hotel, whether it is the shopkeeper or the shopkeeper, they all nod and smile when they see the guests, and the shopkeeper in front of him is not only unkind to himself, but also looks fierce and domineering, I don't know what is going on.

At this time, which shopkeeper began to ask impatiently, "Are you staying in a hotel or eating?"

"I'm here to eat and I'm here to stay. ”

"Since it's for dinner, let's go sit over there, I'll call Xiao Er over for a while, don't hinder me from settling accounts, and arrange for you to live in room No. 1 in Tianzi." ”

Then he continued to play the abacus in his hand, but Long Xiaotian didn't think too much, and walked towards the table that the shopkeeper pointed to.

After he sat down, a shopkeeper politely poured him a cup of tea, wiped the table with a rag, and asked him with a smile, "May I ask the guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

"Bring me a small jar of high-quality daughter red, and then half a catty of spiced beef, and a plate of roast chicken. ”

"Wait, the guest officer will be here soon. ”

Just as the shopkeeper was about to leave, Long Xiaotian stopped him from behind him.

"Wait. ”

The shopkeeper turned around and still asked politely: "Why is your shopkeeper vicious to the guests, why is his attitude so bad?" ”

"Oh! That's right, our shopkeeper doesn't like to be disturbed when he is settling accounts, and his temper is a little weird, don't take it to heart when you are a guest!"

After finishing speaking, he left, and after a while, the shopkeeper came over with a plate of dishes ordered by Long Xiaotian, and then put it on the table and said, "Guest officer, the dishes you want are ready, please use them slowly." ”

After the shopkeeper left, Long Xiaotian poured himself a bowl of daughter red, and after tasting it, he said: "I didn't expect the shopkeeper of this inn to have such a strange temper and be so unkind to the guests, but the service of the shopkeeper is very thoughtful, and the wine is so delicious, forget it, I still eat mine!"

After a bowl of wine, he devoured it and waited until he was ready to settle the bill.

Suddenly, an old man with a limp, wearing a pink gown, looking sixty or seventy years old, with white hair and long beard and wrinkled face, held a Tang knife in each of his hands, walked into the inn as if he were walking on the ground, came to a table opposite Long Xiaotian and shouted, "Little Er, come here." ”

So the shopkeeper walked over politely and asked politely, "Guest officer, what do you need?"

"Give me a jar of good five-plus skin, high-quality wine and food, and I will stay in the hotel. ”

"Okay! ”

When he had just eaten a little food, more than twenty bandits dressed in blue and armed with large knives suddenly burst in from outside the gate of the inn.

But he showed unusual composure, his expression was not flustered at all, and he drank his wine in the face of danger.

"Dugu is disabled, you dare to kill our king, I must kill you today to pay for our king's life. ”

Dugu Remnant smiled slightly, glanced at them disdainfully, and said to the bandit holding a long-handled broadsword who spoke just now: "You should be the second master of Jiangyang Thief! I didn't expect that I intended to let you live, and you actually wanted to come to the door to send you to death, since you want to die so much, I will fulfill you." ”

"Dog thief, you killed our king and dare to speak so loudly, so many of us together will definitely be able to cut you to pieces, ready to die!"

At this time, Dugu spat on the ground and said angrily: "Phew! Shameless bandits, as a Han Chinese, your king not only leads your gang of bandits to oppress the people and do all kinds of evil on weekdays, but also colludes with the Mongolian Tartars to try to act as spies of the Red Turban Army. The reason why I didn't kill you is because for the sake of you being Han people, I hope you will change your ways and become new people, since you want to find death, then I have to kill you on a large scale. ”

"Dugu is disabled, you have such a big breath. I don't believe that you alone can defeat so many of us, and if you don't want to live today, we must avenge the king's revenge. ”

"Really, then let's see what you're capable of. ”

When they were about to make a move, Long Xiaotian, who had always been fond of fighting, immediately rushed to Dugu's side and said for him: "What kind of ability is it for more than 20 of you to join forces to bully an old-timer with lame legs, if you are alone, you will fight alone with me, and I will fight for this old-timer." ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Dugu Remnant: "Senior, don't be afraid, they don't dare to do anything to you with me." ”

Dugu Remnant smiled slightly, nodded lightly at Long Xiaotian, and said with a grateful expression: "Little brother, I have received your wishes, but you can rest assured that these little miscellaneous hairs are not my opponents at all, if I can't even deal with them, how can I gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, even if you stand aside, I can take their lives in less than six moves." ”

When he said that he wanted to take the lives of these bandits, Long Xiaotian opened his mouth to persuade him.

But the second master interrupted his words at this time, and said angrily at Dugu: "Dugu is disabled, your tone is too arrogant! Let's take your dog's life!"

After finishing speaking, he slashed at Dugu Remnant's face door, and Dugu Remnant unhurriedly lifted the Tang knife in his hand while drinking, and easily blocked the big knife in the hand of the second master.

When he saw this, Long Xiaotian thought to himself: "It seems that this old man named Dugu is really famous for his martial arts, and the long-handled big knife in the hands of the second master weighs at least forty kilograms, and it was easily bounced away by him with a Tang knife, which is really not simple!"

When the second master picked up the long-handled broadsword that had fallen to the ground, he ordered his men around him: "You men go up together and kill this old lame man to avenge the king." ”

After a while, all the blue-clothed bandits rushed up, raised the knife in their hands and slashed at Dugu Remnant, when the more than 20 knife shadows slashed at Dugu Remnant's body, Dugu Remnant put down his wine glass and lifted the two Tang knives on the table horizontally, and his hands turned two circles at 720 degrees and shouted: "Swirl double swords." ”

In an instant, the knives of more than twenty bandits were cut in two, and even the forty-kilogram long-handled knife of the second master was no exception, which made Long Xiaotian feel a burst of amazement again in his heart at this time.

However, the more than 20 bandits who were defeated were not convinced at all, and the second leader of them said: "Dugu Disabled, what kind of ability do you have to defeat us with the good blade in your hand, do you dare to compete with your fists and feet." ”

And Long Xiaotian had already seen through those shameless bandits who deliberately played up their strengths and avoided their weaknesses, knowing that Dugu was crippled and his legs were inconvenient to use his fists and feet, and deliberately made Dugu crippled and embarrassed, so he said angrily: "Bastard, you shameless bandits deliberately bully this lame old-timer with inconvenient hands and feet, so what kind of ability is it to deliberately make things difficult." ”

The second master said disapprenously: "So what? Since Dugu's predecessor can use his sword as a foot on the ground, what is it for him to use his fists and feet!"

"You... You..."

Dugu Remnant waved his hand at this time, and smiled at Long Xiaotian: "This little brother, don't get in the way, don't get in the way." Since they want to see my kung fu, let them see it. ”

After a while, Dugu Remnant supported the ground with his two knives, and then jumped on a table, and used his hands to swing his immobile double ** forks into a cross-legged appearance, and put his two Tang knives on both sides, and the length of the table and his upper body added up to just more than one person high.

"Second master, just attack me! I will fight you with both hands this time, and you will not be able to defeat me without a blade. ”

One of the bandits began to fight and said to Dugu Remnant: "Hmph, you old immortal thing is still so arrogant, you want to win against us with two hands without a blade, it's a dream." ”
