The twentieth chapter of the "Lushan Series" "Five Poison Sects".
There is no cloudy sky, a piece of blue; Wandering, lingering, listening and watching, knowing, rivers and lakes are dangerous.
A few days ago, the reckless young man, see you now, sassy and fluttering. Suave, witty, tacit understanding, already, tightly sticky.
I only hate the flow of hourglasses and time like electricity, long before Chen Wen met Shan Xiyue and Pan Qing defected to Yan Bo, He Shengliang and Ai Xiaoyun, who were tigers and snakes, had already walked to Xiangyang City at the junction of Song and Jin. Today's He Shengliang actually changed into a brand-new carved clothes, he obviously didn't bring silver taels himself, this dress must have been bought by Ai Xiaoyun for him. Hey, this poor He Shengliang!
It turned out that the two had been on the road for two or three days before arriving in Xiangyang. For such a long time, they either lay in a grass hut or slept in a broken temple, and established a deep friendship with each other. Since it was not yet the sweltering heat of July, there was still a slight breeze blowing from time to time, so they did not feel particularly hot in the noisy crowd. I saw that above the sky, there was a bright light, a flock of birds flying, and a good scene - a sunny day.
Xiangyang is the city of martial arts hub, where dragons and snakes are mixed, there are many ears and eyes, and there are all kinds of people on the rivers and lakes, revealing the danger and murder that cannot be seen by the naked eye everywhere. Among those passers-by who are idle in the city and seem to have nothing to do, there are not only martial arts and decent Song Dynasty warriors, but also neutral heroes who don't care about right and wrong, as well as Jin Meng's eyeliner who hides murderous intentions, and there are also evil drug lords who vainly want to dominate......
On the street, there are crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, there are many stalls, and business is thriving. Ai Xiaoyun, who was quick-eyed, kept an eye on every pedestrian who passed by her, in case of accidents. He Shengliang, who was following her, was reckless, looking left and right, for fear of being bumped into by men, women and children who came and went in a hurry.
Finally, as they walked, they saw a very tempting plaque hanging low on the door, on which were written in small seal script with the four big characters of "White Delivery Inn". Ai Xiaoyun grabbed He Shengliang's wrist and shouted, "This is good! He Shengliang, who was suddenly pinched by the girl's hand, looked panicked and uneasy, feeling that this was not very natural. Intentionally or unintentionally, he constantly shook his head and scratched his head, making gestures. Despite this, He Shengliang was still lifted alive, and then sat on a long bench with a very narrow width under Ai Xiaoyun's clear instructions. In this situation, it is like a mother with her child, and the child is disobedient, and the mother has a tough attitude and sternly asks the child to sit down and not move around.
In the hall and in the inn, the guests are full, and the tables and chairs are lined up. Originally, the first floor of this inn was a restaurant and tavern, and the second floor provided private rooms and accommodation.
Suddenly, four women and three men in strange costumes and funny costumes broke into the room and sat down on all sides of the wine table. One of the men raised his voice and shouted, "Hey, little er, come over quickly! Your Uncle Gui has brought you business." The person who spoke was named Gui Zheng, and he had fought with Pan Qing in a dead wood forest a few days ago. What's more noteworthy is that this Gui Zheng is the second oldest among his friends, but his martial arts are the highest. Any of the four of them is not famous in the rivers and lakes, but if you add them together, they will be the famous "Four Little Demon Kings". These four people are neither chivalrous nor thieves, and there is no fixed principle for doing things, as long as it is conducive to them to find Pan Qing in the future and take revenge on Xue Shi, that thing will definitely be done.
After a while, Xiao Er didn't come, but the shopkeeper of this inn came over. He bent over, looked at Gui Zheng and said apologetically: "Ouch, Uncle Gui, I'm really embarrassed, there are too many guests today, I can't be busy, I have to make a few people wait for a long time, and I hope to bear with me, hehe, bear with me." Gui Zheng is not an unreasonable person, and immediately responded: "Hey, it's okay, it's okay, forget it, quickly bring us three pots of wine and four dishes of dishes, we still have urgent things to do after eating." The shopkeeper replied, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll go and arrange it." ”
Since the eldest sister of the "Four Little Demon Kings" does not drink, Gui Zheng only shouted three pots.
At this moment, Ai Xiaoyun, who was sitting at the table next to this table, pulled the shopkeeper over with his hands, his eyes widened, and he asked in a rude voice: "Oh——! it turns out that 'you' is the owner of this inn! Don't you see that the two of us have been sitting here for a long time, why don't you come to greet us?" The shopkeeper apologized again and again, and then asked: "Uh, I don't know if the girl is eating or staying in the hotel? Ai Xiaoyun immediately stuck out her tongue, shook it quickly above and below her lips, made a grimace, and then said: "Hmph, who stays in the hotel in broad daylight? Of course we are here to eat, you have seen that we have done it next to the dinner table, do you still need to ask?" At this moment, a young bald man stood next to Ai Xiaoyun, looked at Ai Xiaoyun and said with a smile: "Little sister, who said that you can't stay in the hotel in the daytime, 'I' like to stay in the hotel in the 'white' day, and I will check out and leave at night!" As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately turned his face to look at the shopkeeper and said, "Boss, come to a first-class single room, be quick." After finishing speaking, he slipped his eyes back again, looked at Ai Xiaoyun who was resentful, and a weird smile appeared on his face. After laughing, he turned around and went upstairs. The shopkeeper couldn't reply, he was really "too busy", so he had to say to Ai Xiaoyun first: "The girl doesn't have to order, I really don't have enough manpower today." Uh, please wait here, I'll take the initiative to bring you good wine and food. ”
In this process, He Shengliang, who had been sitting next to Ai Xiaoyun, looked at everyone who was noisy and unpleasant, especially the one with a shaved head. For a while, an inexplicable anger burned in his chest, and he almost broke out.
At this time, Gui Zheng, who was sitting at the table next to Ai Xiaoyun, swept around with his eyes, and then gently stretched his head forward, and the three accomplices who looked at him whispered: "Eldest sister, third brother, fourth brother, you haven't paid attention, the bald guy who walked over just now is actually a monk!" The only middle-aged woman said disdainfully: "Hey, a monk, as for such a fuss?" Gui Zheng continued to whisper: " Eldest sister, you don't know, this young monk is a ruthless guy, his Dharma name is Yan Bing, nicknamed 'Immortal Arhat', he is the first seat of the Dharma Academy of Shaolin Temple, and his martial arts are not under the first seat of the Discipline Academy, the elder of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and the abbot!" 'The Evil Punishment Conference', preparing to join forces to eradicate the Five Poisons Sect that is hiding in Miaojiang. Gui Zheng nodded and said, "I see, if the 'one' sect only sends 'one' masters to the meeting, Shaolin will only have Yan Bing." ”
Because the voice of the "Four Little Demon Kings" talking was not too small, Ai Xiaoyun on the next table could hear it completely. Ai Xiaoyun thought to herself: There is such a thing, the martial arts sect is gathering masters to destroy the Five Poisons Sect, this is very bad news, no, I have to rush back as soon as possible to inform the master.
Ai Xiaoyun's expression was unusually nervous, on the contrary, He Shengliang, who was sitting on the side waiting for something to eat, was putting his chin on the table, his teeth were closed one by one, and he muttered in his mouth: "There are so many taverns, you have to enter 'this' family! Hey, I'm starving to death, why haven't the dishes come yet?" In fact, He Shengliang's personal survival ability is also very strong, but under the constraints of Ai Xiaoyun's circle, his subjective opinions are restricted, and it is easier to listen to Ai Xiaoyun's arrangement than to speak by himself.
After a while, after a long wait, the dish finally came.
Just as the two tables of "Four Little Demon Kings" and Ai Xiaoyun were about to use chopsticks to pick up the dishes to eat, the plain-clothed bald guy named Yan Bing flew down from upstairs with light skills, and at the same time raised his voice and shouted: "Little sister, you can't eat it, the dishes are poisonous!" Although the bald man's words were shouted at Ai Xiaoyun, he also saved the lives of the "Four Little Demon Kings".
At that moment, all the diners (guest officers) in the entire inn dropped the chopsticks in their hands, hurriedly stood up, and shook their heads and looked around, their expressions were all nervous.
Suddenly, countless cyan centipedes crawled out of nowhere, and the dining hall of the "White Delivery Inn" was all over the ground. These centipedes are not only abnormal in color, but also unusual in size, any one, longer than a loofah, thicker than a radish, soft, twisting and twisting is very scary, and there are a thousand feet on both sides, wriggling densely and neatly.
