Chapter 428: The Valley Money Village
Dong Qilang suddenly remembered that he still had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. A person enjoys a good wine here, and forgets about the big matter of tracking down the scum of martial arts, not to mention anything else, just to say that he is not sorry for his master, ancestor, and brother.
Thinking of this, he quickly stood up and said to the wine fairy.
"The young man has important things to do, and he doesn't dare to delay. The old man knows that the young man has all the conditions now, and it is the time to display his talents.
The old man said a little more, in the future, to do martial arts affairs, and get along with martial arts characters, it should be like tasting wine, not drinking or gambling. At the critical point, when drinking wine, you must be heroic, and when you are at the critical point, when you taste the most ordinary sorghum wine, you must consider the slow speed.
If you have free time, the young hero can try to see if your leaf picking sword kung fu is available. If you can unload the burden and travel lightly, things will be easy to do.
If there is a fate, the old man will also have the opportunity to taste wine and discuss the sword with the young man. As for playing the piano, the old man is indiscriminate, and he wants to listen to the piano, and a friend of the old man will give him face in the future. Young man, please go. ”
"Thank you seniors for your advice, let Dong Qilang be empowered. When the matter is over, Dong Qilang will definitely go up the mountain and worship his predecessors again. ”
Dong Qilang arched his hands and said goodbye to the wine fairy. When he got out of the cottage, he thought, where did he go down the mountain? Could it be that he would go down from that little cave again? He was going to follow the pigeon to find someone, and now the pigeon did not know where to go, where was he going to find it?
The pigeon flew down and landed on the belly of the wineman, and then disappeared nowhere. But it must have something to do with these two predecessors. Thinking of this, Dong Qilang decided to cheekily ask the wine fairy Weng.
He turned back, waved in the doorway, and asked:
"Old-timer, where do I go down from here, and where do I find the pigeon keeper?"
He told the wine fairy truthfully.
The sound of the piano sounded in the inner room, and the wine fairy Weng did not look back, but a very thin voice came from Dong Qilang's ears:
"Whence you come from, you will return. To the end of the line, there is a guide. ”
After these two sentences, there was no more sound, only the melodious sound of the piano wandering in the grass hut.
Dong Qilang recalled the two sentences said by the wine fairy Weng, "Where you come from, you will go back." To the end of the line, there is a guide. This should tell me to go back the way I came. When the line is exhausted, do you mean let me go all the time?
It's impossible to go back and ask him again, Dong Qilang found the cave, looking down from above, it was pitch black, how to go down?
"There you go. ”
Dong Qilang slapped his thigh. When you come, you use your sword, and when you go, you can use your sword. When you come, you need resistance, why not use the sword to poke the stone wall with the sword every few meters, as long as the body slows down, you can go down.
With a decision, Dong Qilang drew his sword, jumped forward, and slid down the hole. Every few meters and ten meters, he used his sword to tap the stone wall.
After a few buffers, Dong Qilang came to the first zigzag. It's business as usual down there. For Dong Qilang, this is equivalent to being familiar with the road.
Descending the zigzag stone steps, he came to the Pool of Despair and the Sky Lantern Corridor, and he didn't see the wine boy. Out of the stone cave, Jiushan Weng is still the original shape, the original action, lying on the drunken sleeping pavilion.
"Senior, Dong Qilang says goodbye here, thank you later, Dong said goodbye. ”
Dong Qilang was about to leave, when he heard Jiushan Weng say:
"Where is the young man? The guide is already here. It will take you where you want to go. ”
I didn't see Jiushan Weng turn over, nor did I see Jiushan Weng open his eyes, Dong Qilang only heard his voice.
"Coo-goo, goo-goo. ”
At this time, Dong Qilang heard that familiar voice again. He looked back, and the familiar pigeon had rested on the belly of the wineman, and was nodding at him incessantly.
This pigeon is so strange, did he really know that I would come down at this time, so he waited for me here in advance. The pigeon feeder is also too powerful, the pigeon is obedient, and things are still so accurate.
Dong Qilang felt that this matter was really a little strange, but in the past few days, these people have not acted unfavorably towards themselves, and they will see what the relationship between the owner of this pigeon and these two winemakers is.
"Let's go, it's just hard for you. ”
Dong Qilang said to the pigeon.
As soon as his hand was stretched out, the pigeon flew to his palm, and he shook his hands to say goodbye to Jiushan Weng, and then performed light skills and went down to the stone wall.
Where to go, where to go, Dong Qilang didn't know anything, now he can rely on this pigeon, he let go of his hand, and said to the pigeon:
"Partner, it's up to you where you want to go and what path you take. We are still the same way as before, you fly, I follow you. Let's go. ”
The dove understood him, and flew out of his palm, as it had done last time, flying only over the treetops, not on the heights. Dong Qilang performed light skills and followed all the way.
About an hour, they descended from the mountain to a canyon, and Dong Qilang judged according to the speed and time that they had traveled about sixty miles from the drunken sleeping pavilion to here.
Before I reached the valley mouth, I saw a large road, and there were occasional pedestrians and vehicles on the road. As soon as Dong Qilang stretched out his hand, the pigeon flew to his hand. He walked to the mouth of the valley and saw a horizontal boulder lying at the mouth of the valley, with four words on it: "Valley Money Village".
was about to enter the valley, when he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, the two horses galloped out of the valley, and immediately both of them wrapped their faces in black turbans, Dong Qilang couldn't see who it was, only from the figure, the head and face were thinner, and they looked like a woman.
"Let's go quickly, there is a new situation, we have to hurry up. ”
The thin man turned back and shouted to the man behind him.
"Matchmaker, don't worry, you can't make a mistake. The latter said to the previous one.
When Dong Qilang heard it, although the voice of the former person was affected by the cloth, he could hear that it should be a woman, and the latter person had nothing to say, it must be a man.
The latter person is of normal stature and should be a man. Immediately, the two of them glanced at Dong Qilang twice, especially the one in the back, who had already run for a while, and turned their heads to look at Dong Qilang.
Dong Qilang felt that the two of them were a little strange, why they were wearing headscarves in broad daylight, so he glanced twice more in the direction where the two were leaving, and happened to meet the eyes of the two.
In fact, these two people are none other than the Duwang envoy and Yin Hongniang who were defeated by Shen Feiyang, after Yin Hongniang found his lover Duwang Envoy, she got the information of her apprentice, hoping to help him in the Central Plains and make a lot of money, so the two came non-stop.
Now the two of them are at the valley money village again.
Dong Qilang was still thinking about who these two people were, where they came from, what did they mean when they couldn't say anything wrong? Why did they look at me more?
Suddenly there was another sound of whipping and shouting of horses, and the neighing of horses and the rolling of their wheels, and in a few moments out of the valley came two carts and two horses.
The two cars in front of them sat two drivers, and the vehicles were tightly surrounded by blue cloth vines. When the two of them passed by Dong Qilang, they both looked at him twice, and one of them laughed.
Two people sat on the back two horses. One was hunchbacked, and the other was short and stocky.
Dong Qilang found that the two of them were a little familiar, but they didn't want to come for a while. The two of them glanced at Dong Qilang twice, the hunchback man laughed, and the latter one glanced at Dong Qilang viciously, but did not say anything, and galloped forward.
Dong Qilang didn't know why several people looked at him a few more times, and he didn't know why the hunchback laughed at himself. Could it be that his whereabouts were discovered, and he didn't put on makeup when he went out, so it's normal if someone recognizes him.
So why do some people laugh at themselves? Is there something wrong with the way they are dressed, or is it because they have painted on their faces? He looked down the road and saw that there was a stream flowing slowly, and he decided to go to the stream and wash his face to see if it was too dirty for people to laugh at.
The pigeon in his hand was still there, he came to the edge of the stream, looked into the river, and he smiled, his face was one in the east and one in the west, with mixed flowers, sludge, and black ash, as if he was going to sing on stage in disguise.
Then he remembered that when he was going up and down from the cave, he had smeared these dirty things on his clothes, and he had accidentally gotten them on his face.
He said to the pigeons:
"Friend, this is the valley money village, if we have to hurry, you wait for me next to us, if this is the case, then you can go, it must not be far, I can find it." ”
The dove seemed to understand him, cooed twice, and flew away from the palm of his hand.
Dong Qilang poured water and washed his face, and just washed two handfuls, he suddenly remembered, aren't the two people behind him the beggar gang Wan Donggui and Wang Yiyi who have dealt with before? He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what are these two people doing here? Is it for me, or do they have other plans?
Without any clue for a while, he simply stopped thinking about it, the sky is big, what they want to do, let them go, what should come will come sooner or later, just let it be.
Dong Qilang washed a few more handfuls first, took a picture in the water, and saw that his face had been washed, so he walked towards the valley money village.
As soon as you enter the valley, there is a sign erected every ten meters, all the design of one color, all of them are one zhang high, the sign draws a flying pigeon, and there are four "valley money villages" in red on a blue background.
The road is easy to walk, it is to walk diagonally along the valley mouth to the right slope of the valley, the slope is gentle, and it is not effortless at all. After walking for a while, Dong Qilang felt a little hungry, and only then did he remember that he hadn't eaten a hearty meal since yesterday afternoon.
You have to hurry to the money village and find a place to eat. He walked on the way, and in less than a mile he saw a stone house, about five or six rooms, all of which were not tall or low.
The houses look like a courtyard as a whole. There is only one room on the front, which is relatively small, but there is a large three-character "exchange office" welded with steel plates on the roof.
There is also an iron cage three meters long and one meter high welded next to the word "exchange office", and some pigeons are cooing in it. Dong Qilang looked at it and thought, maybe my pigeon friend is inside.
"Uh, what are you doing, please go away!"
He was looking at the cage when a man below the exchange office yelled roughly.
Dong Qilang was completely attracted by the iron cage and the words just now, but now when he heard the roar, he lowered his head and saw a big man with a seven-foot-long body, a thick waist and round shoulders, and a face full of flesh standing at the door of the stone house in front of him. There was a small window next to the door, less than a foot five long and less than a foot high, and inside was a thin middle-aged man wearing a scholar's scarf and glasses on his nose, and a pen in his right hand was pressed against a wooden table, as if he was dozing.
That roar just now was obviously from the man with a meaty face. Dong Qilang didn't know how to answer for a while, so he pouted and didn't say it.
"What are you looking at? I said it's okay to leave, don't let me be rude. ”
The fleshy man yelled at him again.
"I want to get something to eat first, this big brother, you have something to eat here, give me some. ”
Dong Qilang felt hungry, so he said to the big man.
"Who are you? What are you doing here, what do you want to eat? Don't you see that we are here for money?"
At this time, the glasses sitting in the small window said. The man's voice was much softer, though it was cold.
