Chapter 22: Encounter
The night is dark, deep and dim, and the idle city under the night light is like a light, and the streets are clear.
Ding Leifang just took a hot bath, the inn here is really expensive, it is twenty Wen a night, but the facilities are complete, everything is complete, Ding Lei is also satisfied.
He walked to the side room, Wang Wu and Gu Taiyan were already asleep, only Lin Tong was sitting cross-legged, his hands rushing out, like a waterfall falling flowers, actually pinching an inexplicable seal. Ding Lei naturally knows that this is the internal strength of the heart, often the internal strength should be used as a guiding technique, the qi runs through the meridians, and flows to the dantian, and it is necessary to know that the mudra is the most important, and these handprints are relatively peculiar. It's a pity that the chivalrous warrior Ding Lei's knowledge that day didn't teach him internal skills, but just said that a "Three Mountains Sword Technique" can walk the rivers and lakes.
The sound of the wind whirring outside, deep and confusing in winter, fluorescent and lamps, faintly like the sun, shine into the room.
Ding Lei's careful look around, the whole street was empty, he was calm, closed the curtains, and when he turned around, he saw that Lin Tong's eyes had opened, and the shadow was shining: "Don't sleep yet, there is no movement outside, you can rest assured, I meditate and rest tonight, you can sleep with confidence." ”
"Thank you, Brother Lin, I heard that people who cultivate the Inner Strength Mind Method don't need to sleep?" Ding Lei asked, and as soon as he spoke, he felt that this was a stupid question.
Lin Tong didn't care, and smiled rarely: "It's still a human, how can you not rest, it's just that you sleep a few hours less than ordinary people, I usually rest when the chickens and dogs crow, and wake up after an hour or two, and the spirit is still full." ”
"It's very difficult to obtain the internal strength heart method, at least in our Dalin City, in this small city, there are not many people who practice martial arts, and it really can't be compared with Cangyan City. Ding Leidao.
Lin Tong said: "Although it can be exchanged in the Sanren Alliance, I have to say that this kind of thing is hard to find, after all, among the hundreds of people, there are only more than ten people who can do internal strength, although it seems that there are so many people, but these dozen people are all disciples of sects or families without exception." ”
"Then Lin Tong, you are a child of the family, and Gu Taiyan, a disciple of the outer sect of the Hundred Fists, how did he get the internal strength of the heart. Ding Leidao.
"I guess. Lin Tong never mentioned it to himself, in other words: "Gu Taiyan is born with brute strength, plus he knew a good dart head when he used to dart in the past, so he barely had half a volume of internal skills, I have known him for a long time, and he has now reached the bottleneck, in order to go further, he rushed to Cangyan City, wanting to join the Sanren Alliance." ”
"I see, what about Wang Wu's division?" Ding Lei continued to ask.
The night was like a curtain, and the lamps were swaying on the faces of the two, one calm and the other curious.
Lin Tong said: "I don't know Wang Wu's master very well, I haven't known him for a long time, but he is still credible, he is reluctant to say more on weekdays, because his master's affairs are very important, and he doesn't want to affect others." If he can really be cured, he may go back to the division, and we will go together at that time, after all, this tyrant Li Wei is a threat, and he is insidious and vicious, and he has long wanted to get rid of him. ”
Ding Lei was about to continue to ask, but he heard Lin Tong put his hands together, extinguished the oil lamp, and said, "Okay, we don't have to disturb their rest, you also rest early, if you need to go around the city tomorrow, you can call us together." ”
Seeing that the lights were extinguished and the surroundings were dark, Ding Lei, too, knew that it was useless to talk more at this time, so he slept with the quilt together.
In an inn at the far other end, there were three men sitting, dressed in gray clothes, who looked like people from the rivers and lakes.
Their eyes met, each with different words, and one of them said: "I can't find that Ding Lei this night, he won't already know that we will come to Cangyan City, so he left early." ”
"No way. The man at the head of the group, his eyes flashed, "Do you think a homeless person will let go of this opportunity of the Scattered People's Alliance?"
"Since we can't teach him a lesson and break his legs, we must also make him unable to mix with the Scattered People's Alliance. The other said viciously.
The man in charge smiled faintly: "That's right, this is all discussed by our Fan Shadow Sect, of course, your Impermanence Sword Sect also contributes, and you won't be treated badly afterwards, maybe you can enter the inner gate two years in advance, this is all promised by our Senior Brother Zheng and your Senior Brother Chen." ”
"Really!" The man who had been angry before was suddenly overjoyed, this good news was simply out of the blue, and it hit his head, it didn't hurt, and it was even very refreshing.
"Of course. The leader continued, "Our Senior Brother Zheng hates eyebrows between men and women the most, the behavior of Ding Lei and Yan Si has already made a fuss, Senior Brother Zheng's methods and skills, don't you still believe it? Do you want to join our fan faction?"
The evil-faced man shook his head: "Forget it, although you Senior Brother Zheng are amiable, but our Senior Brother Chen will kill me if he knows that I have rebelled." ”
"Just kidding, you really take it seriously, don't be the same as that Ding Lei's elm head, this kid is also lucky, he actually survived in the army, it's hard to believe, it is said that our Senior Brother Zheng is the best at investigating in this regard, and has already captured his evidence. The man at the head smiled.
"What evidence?" the initial man looked interested.
The man in the lead waved his hand: "Keep it secret for the time being, and when the Sanren Alliance arrives another day, you will naturally know, and he has no chance to join the Sanren Alliance." ”
Several people are hidden, and their words are insidious and treacherous, calculating Ding Lei.
This night was in the calculations of several people, and it was settled, and that Li Wei did not appear again, it seemed that he was afraid of the strength of several people.
Early in the morning, there was the sound of chickens and dogs, Ding Lei woke up in advance, he looked around, the sky was still gray, but Wang Wu didn't know where to go, but Lin Tong also went to bed early, Gu Taiyan slept very soundly, snoring from time to time.
Ding Rai washed up, and then walked out of the door, and there was a slight spot of light outside, shining down.
Wang Wu's figure fell in Ding Lei's eyes, this person was moving his muscles and bones, but no matter what, his body was still decaying, and the strength he came out of was soft, and he had no strength at all.
"Brother Wang. Ding Lei said hello.
"I didn't expect Brother Ding to get up so early, and his health is not bad. Wang Wu said in surprise.
Ding Lei smiled, "I used to work in the pharmacy, and usually someone came to the door in the early morning when the rooster crowed, I have long been used to it, but Brother Wang, are you better." ”
"It's not so easy, we're going to go and buy it today and see if any of the herbs you mentioned are suitable. Wang Wu sighed.
"I hope it will have an effect, I have also refined a lot of medicines before, and I have also stayed in Cloud Sideburns City for a while, although there is no historical background of Cangyan City, but in terms of making medicines, Cloud Temples City is not bad. Ding Leidao.
The two talked, and after a while, the sky was faint, the sun was shining, and it turned out to be a surprisingly sunny sky.
At this time, Lin Tong and Gu Taiyan also walked out, and several people discussed that they were going to purchase, Ding Lei then remembered what happened yesterday, except for the three men in the power suit who followed him, it was the child, the three men in the power suit were not worried, but the side tasks related to the child, he wanted to try.
Cangyan City is too big, vast and boundless, with endless streets and lanes, extending in all directions. Countless buildings rise from the ground, if you look down from the sky, it is a pinzigzag, the top of the pinzi is the imperial court jurisdiction of Cangyan City, there is also a general sitting in it, there is a serious weight, the checkpoints are constant, and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach.
On both sides of the lower end is the area where Ding Lei is located, which is an ordinary downtown area, often selling more things, and on the other side is the address of the Sanren League, where there are also goods for sale, but they are all Jianghu chivalrous people setting up stalls and selling goods.
I heard Lin Tong say: "Now our task is to act separately, and the pharmacies at both ends are all over again, Brother Ding, you and Gu Taiyan together, I am with Wang Wu, I have high martial arts, so I can protect him." Although it is now blue and white, it is impossible for Li Wei to do evil, but he must also be careful. ”
"Okay, that's it. Gu Taiyan and Ding Lei both nodded in agreement.
The four were divided into two teams, one in the vicinity and one in the east.
Lin Tong seems to have a lot of wealth, and in the package he threw down, there were thirty ingots of silver, equivalent to three thousand copper coins, which was ten times more than Ding Lei, and he was worthy of being a child of a family.
Ding Lei first found a pharmacy to look for herbs, from which he found five similar to the orchid grass, he is a doctor himself, very fast, and the price is very reasonable, the owner of the pharmacy wants to cry without tears, who let meet the expert.
These five herbs were only two hundred copper coins, and Ding Lei was full of confidence and came to the next one.
Not long after, the boss of the next house invited Ding Lei, with a reluctant face, but Ding Lei still took away three herbs.
After a twist and turn, it was almost noon, feeling the sun's fall, warm and harmonious, Ding Lei's heart was even happier, he hadn't bought herbs so happily for a long time, Gu Taiyan was stunned, and in a blink of an eye, he was impressed by Ding Lei's Mali.
This man who looks weak, but he doesn't want to be a medical master, whether it is bargaining or purchasing, without exception, it is the best interest.
He walked around the nearby medicine shop and returned to the inn with fifteen herbs.
"This harvest is quite fruitful, it seems that Lin Tong and Wang Wu are still buying, let's wait around here." Ding Leidao.
Gu Taiyan nodded, and was already very convinced of Ding Lei: "I'm afraid they can't imagine that we are so smooth." ”
Just when the two were discussing, Ding Lei noticed the figure of the child again, this time there was a young man who looked like a scholar next to the child, his face was smooth, his eyes were like a clear spring, you were awe-inspiring, immovable, this person was seven or eight years older than Ding Lei, and there were three fierce men next to him, even so, he was still indomitable. And the boy clung to the young man's shirt. Chivalry list
