Chapter 4: The Identity of the Old Blind Man

Tianxiang everyone began to enter Tianxiang Pavilion at the age of ten, and began to learn qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it has been eight years since today, and they have regarded this place as their home, or they can only regard this place as a writer. The owner of Tianxiang Pavilion likes her very much, so she has the privilege of being a Qingqi person in Tianxiang Pavilion, she can always be a clear person, she doesn't have to serve the guests with her body, and enjoy the best preferential treatment in Tianxiang Pavilion, of course, the preferential treatment is not taken for nothing, she wants to help the owner find out the news.

After the bloody clothes appear in Tianxiang Pavilion, Liu's mother leaves with her sisters and goes to other green buildings, even the miscellaneous servants and nurses are gone, and Fluttershy is too frightened, so Tianxiang sends someone to her father to recuperate for a few days.

Tianxiang sat at the table in the main hall of the small building, still wearing a veil to cover her mouth and nose, and her exposed eyes were still beautiful and moving, but they were more sad.

Lan Yu Gongzi sat opposite Tianxiang, seeing that the beauty was so sad, he said: "Tianxiang, you don't have to worry, Brother Lin was killed tragically by the poisonous hands of the bloody clothes building, and it has nothing to do with Tianxiang, and no one can see it from a distance, but since there is no name of Tianxiang on the bloody clothes, everyone is naturally fine." ”

Tianxiang smiled bitterly and said, "Having said that, but that bloody clothes building is so cruel, how can the concubine not be afraid." ”

"Then you might as well leave here, take a shelter from the limelight for a while, and after a while, wait for this turmoil to calm down and then return to Tianxiang Pavilion, how about it." Lan Yu said.

Tianxiang sighed lightly and said: "Childe doesn't know, we are the people of the wind and dust are rootless, I entered the Tianxiang Pavilion and received preferential treatment from the owner, the owner did not speak, I would never dare to leave, I could only stay here." ”

"Then I'll stay here for the rest of my time, so that nothing else happens. "Blue Feather Gongzi thought of last night's upside down dragon and phoenix, and he had already eaten the marrow and knew the taste, and wanted to linger with Tianxiang for a few more days. With his identity, although he didn't dare to provoke the Bloody Clothes Building, the Bloody Clothes Building would never trouble him for no reason, after all, he was a disciple of Wudang, and no matter what sect or organization, he would give Wudang some face.

————————

Xiao Hei has already prepared a meal, four dishes and a soup, and a plate of pastries, all of which are full of color, flavor and flavor.

Xu Xiao took advantage of Xiao Hei's inattention to steal a few bites of food, and I have to say that Xiao Hei's cooking skills are really good.

Xu Xiao originally wanted to steal some more wine before leaving, but he couldn't rest assured that Xiao Hei was too simple, and he was afraid that Xiao Hei would be in danger. He didn't want others to be hurt, no one knew better than him the importance of living well, and since Xiao Hei was unwilling to leave, he decided to wait until there was no danger before leaving.

"Okay, the food is ready, I'll go and bring it to everyone Tianxiang," Xiao Hei said, "Tianxiang everyone likes my dish the most." After saying that, he laughed twice.

"I'll help you. Xu Xiao said.

The two of them delivered the meal to the main hall of the small building.

"I didn't expect the people in Tianxiang Pavilion to leave, you fool didn't leave, a bit unexpected to me." Tianxiang everyone said, in a superior tone.

"I'm the cook here, and of course I'll stay and cook when someone eats, hehe. Xiao Hei said.

Xu Xiao was beside Xiao Hei at this time, and when he saw Tianxiang condescendingly calling Xiao Hei a fool, he was a little angry in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he just opened the gourd and took a sip of wine, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Who are you?" Tianxiang noticed Xu Xiao beside Xiao Hei, probably seeing that Xu Xiao was dressed in tatters, he didn't put him in his eyes, and still in a haughty tone.

"I'm a friend of Blackie. The corners of Xu Xiao's mouth were still smiling, even if he was dissatisfied, he was smiling, even if he was smiling for three days, but his brows had already conveyed his dissatisfaction.

"Xiao Hei will have friends, and he is not a normal person, okay Xiao Hei, go down, and clean up the dishes and chopsticks in half an hour. ”

Xu Xiao didn't say much, and left with Xiao Hei.

As soon as they stepped out of the room, the ground began to shake, and at the same time there was a thumping sound, small but real. Tianxiang and Lan Yu in the hall also noticed it and walked out of the hall.

"Is it an earthquake?" asked Blackie.

"It's not an earthquake, it's someone coming," Xu Xiao said.

Xiao Hei didn't understand what Xu Xiao said, but he didn't say much.

The sound grew closer and louder, and a blind man came into view.

The blind man was only four feet tall, holding an iron pestle, and he walked on crutches with every step, but he looked very coordinated. The floor in the courtyard was made of gray bricks, and with every step the blind man took, a gray brick would be shattered.

The blind man slowly walked out of the crowd, shook his head twice, and said, "Xiaoha Xiaoyou, don't come to harm." ”

"Haha, old blind man, don't come unharmed. Xu Xiao said, "Old blind man, what are you doing here, are you looking for a girl, it's not a coincidence that you came, and now there is only one girl left here." ”

"Haha, don't make fun of me, Xiaoyou, I naturally have a business here. The old blind man said.

At this time, Tianxiang and Lan Yu's expressions were a little weird, and they were also a little scared, especially Lan Yu, who could break a piece of the pass with every step, which showed that in their iron pestle, the internal strength was very high, and this kind of internal strength he had only seen in a few elders of Wudang, and in terms of internal strength alone, it was stronger than his master Wuweizi.

"Dare to ask the name of the senior?" asked the Blue Feather Child, taking a step forward.

"The old man is a blind man, so what is the name, just call me an old blind man", the blind man said, "but the blue feather boy?"

"Down is the blue feather". Lan Yu said.

"I heard that the blue feather son is talented and good-looking, and the Wudang swordsmanship has obtained the essence, and now when I see it, if it is true, it is worthy of poetry and sword. ”

"The seniors praised it falsely, I don't know what happened to the seniors?" Lan Yu asked.

"Naturally, it's for the sake of the Bloody Clothes Building. ”

"Can you elaborate on that? ”

"As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I smelled the smell of food, and my index finger moved, and I didn't know if I could eat first. ”

"It's the juniors who don't think it through, seniors, please. ”

A few people came to the hall, Tianxiang, Lan Yu Gongzi, and the old blind man sat around the table in the hall, Xu Xiao sat on the chair next to him, and Xiao Hei stood next to Xu Xiao.

The old blind man was still holding an iron pestle in his right hand, and he added a mouthful of food with his left hand, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and said, "It's delicious, it's not worse than what the cook in Taibai Lou makes." ”

Xiao Hei heard the old blind man's words, although he didn't know where Taibai Lou was, but he also knew that this sentence was a compliment to him, and he laughed.

"If you have good food, you naturally need good wine", the old blind man said to Xu Xiao, "Xiaoha Xiaoyou, can you lend me a few sips of wine?"

"Can I pay it back if I borrow it?" said Xu Xiaoxiao.

"Of course it is. ”

"You old horseman, you haven't returned the wine from the previous two days," Xu Xiao scolded, but still handed the gourd in his hand to the old blind man.

The old blind man eats very slowly, every bite of food must be accompanied by a mouthful of rice, ordinary people eat and chew a few bites and swallow it, but he does not, he must chew every grain of rice before swallowing, every bite of food, he has to drink a sip of wine, the wine is also slow, must wait for the aroma of the wine to be full in the mouth before drinking. It seems that for him, eating seems to be a sacred thing.

Everyone present felt very strange about the way the old blind man ate, except for Xu Xiao. He knows that when a person faces death all the time, everything in life becomes very sacred, every bite of food eaten, every step of the way, cherished, so that he can also maintain the best physical condition to face the dangers that may come.

A simple lunch was eaten for half an hour. After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, everyone sat in silence in the hall.

The old blind man suddenly said, "Why does the Blue Feather Boy want to stay here?"

Lan Yu said: "The younger generation stayed to protect everyone in Tianxiang. ”

"How many years have you learned Wuweizi's swordsmanship?" the old blind man asked.

"Twelve years". Lan Yu Gongzi was very proud when he said this, Wudang's swordsmanship for one year is worth three years of hard work for other swordsmanship, and twelve years of Wudang swordsmanship does have the capital of pride.

"How many changes have you seen in the last three styles of swordsmanship, and how many changes have you practiced?" the old blind man continued.

"There are twelve variations of the last three styles in swordsmanship, and I have learned eight. ”

"At such an age, it is not easy to learn the eight variations of Wu Weizi's swordsmanship, and it is already better than eighty percent of the people in the rivers and lakes," the blind man said, "but I heard that Wu Weizi has recently practiced the last three styles of his swordsmanship into eighteen major changes, and each change can be turned into three small changes, and how many small changes are there in the eight changes you have learned." ”

"The younger generation is stupid, and I don't know that there are small changes in this change. ”

"Then get out of here. ”

"Where did the predecessor say this, since I promised to protect everyone Tianxiang, I will definitely stay here, how can I leave. After speaking, the blue feather boy looked at the Tianxiang everyone, although it was winter, there seemed to be a pool of spring water in the eyes of the Tianxiang everyone, which strengthened the determination of the blue feather boy to stay.

"Where do you come from?" asked the old blind man.

"Huainan Blue Feather Waiting House. ”

"Which disciple, who is the teacher?"

"Wudang has nothing to do. ”

"Have you ever competed with others in the past two years, and how did you win or lose?"

"Thirty-two games against others, without a single defeat. ”

The old blind man stopped talking, for what he was about to say had already been said.

Lan Yu Gongzi was a little dizzy at this time, and many of the questions asked by the old blind man knew the answers, and he didn't know what he meant by these questions.

Xu Xiao listened to the conversation between the two on the side, and already understood what the old blind man meant. The prince of Lan Yu Houfu, the closed disciple of Wudang Wuweizi, no matter who competes with him, he doesn't dare to use a killing move, and he can't even use all his strength, Lan Yu Gongzi naturally has the upper hand, if it is a battle of life and death, I am afraid that he has died at least ten times.

"Old blind man, I came here mainly to kill people, and by the way, to protect everyone in Tianxiang. The old blind man said to the people.

Tianxiang's eyes immediately lit up, and said, "But the seniors sent by Prince Chen?"

"Not bad"

"Can I get out of here?" asked Amaka.

"No, you can't. ”

"Why?"

"Because someone is going to kill you," said the old blind man.

"Then why can't I go?"

"For I will kill your slain".

Hearing the words of the old blind man, Tianxiang and everyone had already understood their situation, Chen Wang Ye and the old blind man were using themselves as bait, and their expressions changed from surprise just now to gloomy.

The old blind man stood up and said to Xiao Ha, "Xiao Ha Xiaoyou, please come with me." ”

The old blind man took Xu Xiao and Xiao Hei to the utility room where Wen Tian's corpse was placed, Xu Xiao asked Xiao Hei to wait for him in the courtyard for a while, and the two entered the utility room.

Wen Tian's body lay on a wooden board in the utility room, covered with a white cloth. The old blind man uncovered the white cloth, and somewhere took out a knife two feet three inches long, cutting Wen Tian's chest.

Wen Tian had just died less than a day ago, and his body had not yet stinked, but it was as if the whole person had no flesh and blood, as if it was a dry bone wrapped in a layer of skin.

There should have been blood flowing out of his chest, but in fact it didn't, and his chest was empty, there were no internal organs, but there was a meat worm, a very long flesh worm, the body was transparent, the flesh and blood inside were clearly visible, and the worm was very long, about the same length as the blue-headed snake that can be seen in ordinary homes.

The old blind man cut the worm in half with a knife, and the flesh flowed out of the incision.

"You know, what is this?" asked the old blind man.

Xu Xiao picked up the gourd and took a sip of wine, and said, "Gu worm." ”

"What kind of Gu worm," the old blind man continued.

"A Gu worm that eats human flesh and blood", Xu Xiao said, "Can we not talk here, the bloody gas is too heavy, and the wine is not good."

The two of them walked out of the house and sat down on one of the steps in the garden.

The old blind man asked, "Do you know who the dead know?"

Xu Xiao said: "Hades knife, Wentian." ”

The old blind man said, "Do you know where he was taught?"

"I don't know. ”

"He studied under the Five Tigers Broken Knife Gate, and he is my descendant", the old blind man said, "I have a story here, do you want to hear it?"

Xu Xiao took another sip of wine and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to."

The old blind man ignored him, and continued: "I was originally a disciple of the Five Tigers Broken Sword Gate, when I was young and frivolous, I made a lot of enemies, when I was thirty years old, several enemies with high martial arts joined forces to seek revenge against me, I fought desperately to fight a bloody road, and my eyes were also injured at that time, it was Zhao Wang Ye who saved me, and I recognized him as the master in order to repay the grace of saving my life." He is a good prince, there is no shelf, not like a royal child, more like a person in the rivers and lakes, he is jealous and hateful, and treats the people of the territory well, and many people in Mingzhou City have his portraits in their homes. There were several murder cases in Mingzhou City a few years ago, which were done by the Bloody Clothes Building, and last year Zhao Wangye finally found out the hiding place of the Bloody Clothes Building in Mingzhou, so he killed all the people in the Bloody Clothes Building in Mingzhou. But Prince Zhao also died, and died under the flesh-eating Gu worms. He is a good prince, he should have lived a long life. ”

As he spoke, the old blind man's voice became obviously choked, "So I also want to kill the people in the Bloody Cloak Building, find the prince's biological brother Chen Wangye, and ask him to help check the traces of the Bloody Cloak Building." It's been a year, and I finally found it, and it was Tianxiang who found it, after all, in front of such a woman, few people can lie. I first sent Wen Tian here to investigate, and he also died in the hands of the Bloody Cloak Building. ”

Xu Xiao asked, "Why do you want to tell me this?"

"Because you're my friend. The old blind man said.

Xu Xiao said with a wry smile: "Do you want to help your friend?" ”

"Yes. ”

Xu Xiao said: "Friends don't want to live and die together." ”

"Nature".

Xu Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, stood up, pointed at the old blind man, and scolded: "You dead blind man, you're really not a fucking thing, who is your friend." ”

The old blind man was not annoyed, but Xiao Hei, who was walking in the courtyard, spoke: "Xiaoha, my mother said that you can't scold the elderly, you must respect the elderly." ”

Xu Xiao heard Xiao Hei's words, and that deflated expression was really interesting.

The old blind man couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Lend me a drink"

Xu Xiao was very angry, but he still handed over the gourd and said, "I haven't paid it back yet." ”

"Yes, alive and still. ”
