Lin Zhao looked at the surging river in front of him, and his heart was shocked.

This river is the famous Nanling River, the river surface is endless, mighty. At first glance, the river seems to be still, but the occasional whirlpool realizes the treacherous waves in it. In the middle of winter, gusts of wind blow, mixed with the water vapor on the surface of the river, and the cold hits the bone.

At that time, it was twilight, and there were occasional sail shadows shaking on the river. The river flows horizontally, rolling eastward and disappearing, the mountains are overlooked, and there is no trace; the world is vast, and the lonely traveler travels alone, and the meaning of a vast expanse arises spontaneously!

Between the flashes of inspiration, I have a deeper understanding of the fist intent of the "Jianghai Infinite Boxing" created by myself.

In the Lin Library, Lin Zhao once saw the introduction of Nan Lingjiang. Describe that its river surface is more than ten miles wide, originating from the Yunling Mountains in the north of Lingzhou in the Southern Regions, from the north down, all the way up the rivers converge, flowing to the southeast, its length does not know how much, like a giant dragon coiled over the entire Southern Lingzhou.

Along the official road by the river, they continued to travel eastward on horseback, and at the beginning of the lanterns, the uncle and nephew rushed into Huijiang City before the city gate was closed.

The two of them led their horses slowly in the city, and saw that the streets were lined with shops and pedestrians were hurrying. In a place close to the Huijiang Mansion, he found a first-class inn.

The inn has three floors, the front is a courtyard, the courtyard door is hung on both sides of the lanterns, against the background of the door above the plaque handwriting is also hidden from time to time, the plaque is written "Laifu Inn", black background gold letters.

Lead the horse into the courtyard of the inn. Seeing that there was a guest, the two guys who greeted the guest at the door hurriedly stepped forward, sang a fat promise, and enthusiastically took the reins of the horse. Lin Renjie ordered the above horses to be fed with two dragon scale horses, and then he and Lin Zhao entered the inn hall.

Pushing open the door of the inn, a noise suddenly came into my ears, accompanied by the smell of food and wine.

Lin Zhao glanced around lightly, and suddenly the scene in the inn hall came into mind. In a space of about 100 square meters, more than a dozen Eight Immortal Tables are placed, and most of them are full. Among them, there are merchants in silk and satin, scholars in green clothes and big sleeves, and warriors with weapons hanging from their waists. There are soft-spoken talkers, there are also high-minded braggarts, and there are even big bowls of drinking and guessing boxing, the atmosphere is strong, so lively!

Feeling the door open and a cold wind pouring in, most of the people turned their heads to look at Lin Zhao's uncle and nephew. Seeing two tall and heroic men standing at the door, they both turned their heads and ignored them.

"Guest officer, you are here, are you going to be a tip or staying in a hotel. A voice full of enthusiasm sounded, Lin Zhao looked ahead, and there was a fat man with a short and fat figure with a smile on his face twisting his body and greeting him, it was the innkeeper.

Lin Zhaoxin said, this inn knows that the business is not bad just by looking at the guy and the boss.

Lin Renjie stepped forward and said: "Both, open two upper rooms first, prepare hot water, I'll wait for the two of you to wash up first, and then come down for dinner later." ”

The uncle and nephew went up to the third floor to place the luggage, in fact, each of them was just a double-shouldered cowhide backpack. Since Lin Zhao asked the craftsman in the house to make the first one last time, now that everyone in the Lin Mansion is traveling far away, this style of backpack has become the standard, and the convenient and easy-to-use things are easy to accept no matter where they are.

The man brought hot water, and the two of them washed up, and then went downstairs to the hall to eat. After ordering seven or eight side dishes, a steamed Nanling River fish, and two pots of good wine, I ate and drank slowly to relax the hardships of the past three days.

This rush horse galloped, did not have a good rest, although the two of them are congenital masters, do not care about the journey, but in the end they are still a little tired. This drinking and eating is the best medicine to relax the spirit, and the two are unhurried and talk casually. Listen to the conversations of the diners around you and see if you can gather useful information.

I listened for a while, but I got nothing. Just when the steamed Nanlingjiang fish was served, Lin Renjie pointed to the delicious food on the plate and said: "Try it, this dish is a famous dish of Huijiang Mansion, it must be the place where the four rivers converge here, and the Nanlingyu produced has this taste!"

When Lin Zhao heard this, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and it was really delicious, and the meat was delicate, not only nodded again and again. Picked up a glass of plum wine with a faint sweet taste, touched it with Lin Renjie, and was about to enter it, when suddenly a few strange conversations came into his ears.

"Has the goods come into the city?" said a slightly hoarse and old voice.

"Most of them have already entered the city, and some should be on their way!" another voice that seemed a little gruff, and Weng Sheng replied.

"You let people take care of the goods, wait for orders, tomorrow night four watch, regardless of whether the goods arrive or not, you have to pick up the goods!" said in a hoarse old voice.

Lin Zhao's face was calm, a sip of plum wine entered his throat, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Have you encountered the legendary black words, but I don't know what it means.

Early the next morning, Lin Renzhuo went on a trip and returned after about a meal. knocked on the door of Lin Zhao's room and said, "Clean up, get ready to go!"

Lin Zhao didn't ask much, packed his backpack, and followed Lin Renjie to lead the horse away.

followed Lin Renjie all the way through the streets and alleys, and finally came to a mansion with a tall door, and there were four armed guards at the door. Lin Renjie made a strange gesture, and then led the horse directly inside, and Lin Zhao followed closely and entered together.

After entering the gate, I came to the front of the wall, and several people dressed as attendants came to lead the horses.

Lin Renjie took Lin Zhao through a courtyard gate on the left with guards waiting. After entering, it is a courtyard paved with blue bricks, and the hood room facing north is on the left, and there are about a dozen rooms. Turn right and pass through the two courtyard gates, and come to a large courtyard, in the middle of which the pavement of blue bricks leads to the main hall above the steps, and there are flower beds on both sides, planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, but in the middle of winter, they have not bloomed.

At the entrance of the main hall, two guards with swords and armor were guarded on each side.

At the foot of the steps, there was a middle-aged man dressed in a dark green official robe, embroidered with a soaring eagle with wings on his chest, and a long knife with a golden sheath at his waist, with a black beard over his chest, and a somewhat elegant face, but the eagle's sharp gaze ruined the overall bookish atmosphere.

Lin Renjie took two steps up, came to the middle-aged man, clasped his fists and saluted: "There is Lao Cheng's head to catch his head and welcome him, guilty of sin!"

The middle-aged man is the chief catcher of the six doors of Dawu Kingdom, and the "Golden Feather Flying Eagle" is Cheng Yingyu.

Cheng Yingyu smiled and returned the salute to Lin Renjie: "Brother Lin is polite, you and my brother don't have to see each other." After speaking, he looked at Lin Zhao behind Lin Renjie, smiled kindly, and asked: "This brother has some faces, I don't know which way Haojie is?"

Lin Zhao always felt that the smile of the head catcher in front of him was a little infiltrating, so he stepped forward directly, clasped his fists and saluted: "Annoying the head catcher, in Xia Lin Chong, I have seen the head catcher of the head of Cheng!"

Lin Renjie opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

When Mr. Cheng heard this, he smiled at Lin Renjie and said: "It seems that he is also a disciple of the Lin family, thank you for your great efforts, Cheng knows in his heart, and there will be a return in the future." ”

Lin Renjie laughed and responded boldly: "Brother Cheng is polite, it is incumbent on him to eliminate evil for the country."

Then he pointed at Lin Zhao and said: "This is my Lin family's disciple, follow a certain family out, gain more knowledge, and please mention it more often." ”

Cheng Yingyu pointed at Lin Renjie and laughed out loud, and said, "Let's not be polite, please, let's talk about it inside!"

When you enter the main hall, you can see that in a house of about 200 square meters, there are two Taishi chairs on the top, and there are two rows of Taishi chairs on the left and right sides of the lower head, and they are separated by a coffee table in the middle, and Lin Zhao can sit down forty people.

At this time, more than a dozen guests were sitting in the hall, each talking in low voices. Seeing the three of them entering, they all turned their heads to look back at the door, and in an instant, seven or eight guests got up and said in uneven voices: "It's Brother Lin who has arrived!"

When everyone sat down again, Cheng Yingyu sat on the chair of the Taishi and pressed the chair with both hands. With a loud voice, he said: "Brother Lin has also arrived, and we have added two more masters, and we have not yet arrived at the Wang clan of Nanlin Mansion, the Gui clan of Taichong Mansion, the master of the Changfeng faction, the master of Weiyuan Building, and the master of Zhenxie Mountain. ”

The crowd was again gossiping, each speaking on the action. Lin Zhao sat at the bottom of Lin Renjie, smiling, and naturally looked at the people opposite.

On the right side is a black-bearded and cold-faced Taoist with a grim expression, carrying a long sword, closing his eyes and saying nothing; at the bottom is an old monk in a yellow robe with a white beard and hair, who also silently turns the rosary in his hand, with the demeanor of a monk; and then down is an old man with a short stature but eyes like electricity, who is spitting and talking happily; and then down is a Tsing Yi scribe who is sitting in a precarious position, with a smile in his eyes, and nodding his head when he sees Lin Zhao coming.

Lin looked at it for a while, and didn't look at it anymore, anyway, he didn't know the name, so he closed his eyes and recuperated.

It was not until more than an hour that the crowd dispersed, and only the head of the head was heard and the banquet to be held tomorrow night to discuss important matters.

Lin Zhao had long been impatient to listen to it, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, what Lin Zhao hated most was nonsense without any nutrition, and after discussion, there was no result of wool. Plan carefully in advance, unify command, and kill it, grinding and chirping, where is the demeanor of a martial artist.

Under the guidance of the servants, he and Lin Renjie chose a room in the west wing, and Lin Zhao refused to go out again. Close your eyes and meditate, either practice qi or think about your own boxing.

In the evening of the second day, Cheng Yingyu set up a feast in the courtyard, and the masters of the six doors, the families of various state capitals, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes gathered together, and they were staggered, so it was not lively. Lin Zhao pretended to be, ate a few bites, and then stopped putting down the chopsticks, and the wine was not touched. The feast was messy, and no one paid attention to Lin Zhao.

Lin Renjie took the opportunity to pull Lin Zhao to quietly introduce the origin of the guests.

The cold-faced Taoist I saw yesterday was a master of the "Three Immortal Views" and a famous "Demon Sword" Xuyang real person on the top of the rivers and lakes; the yellow-robed old monk was the abbot of the "Pufa Temple" Huiming Zen Master; the short stature was the famous "mourner" in the rivers and lakes; and others, such as the Wuchuan North and Wuchuan South brothers of the Wu clan of Huijiang Prefecture; Gui Zhixiang and Gui Zhiying of the Gui clan of Taichong Prefecture, were basically congenital masters.

The operation was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, and the number of innate masters from all sides participating in the attack on the main altar of the "Red Lotus Sect" exceeded forty.

When the food is cold and the wine is left, the feast is over, and everyone goes back to the guest room to rest. Lin Zhao sat on the couch, still sitting cross-legged, ready to practice internal strength. But no matter what, you can't meditate, your mind seems to be surrounded by dust, and you can't meditate.

Just as he was a little irritable, he suddenly remembered the strange conversation he heard in the "Laifu Inn" yesterday in his mind, and Lin Zhao had a vague intuition, could the "Red Lotus Sect" attack in advance and directly besiege and kill everyone in turn? The more he thought about it, the more likely it became.

Hurriedly shouted a few times to Lin Renjie, who was meditating.

After a while, Lin Renjie opened his eyes and asked, "Zhao'er, is there something wrong?"

Lin Zhao hurriedly said the conversation he heard yesterday on a whim, unable to calm down. Lin Renjie was silent for a moment, then suddenly got up and said: "It's not impossible, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." I'll go to Mr. Cheng right away! You are also prepared, and if something happens, you can deal with it at any time. With that, he opened the door and left.

Exactly: the four rivers converge in Huijiang Mansion, and the east and west lead to the east and west!
