Chapter 178: Frost Town
Pei Sheng is at the foot of the three mountains of Yaowang Valley, and there is a dock inn for outsiders to come and go in the human town.
The crowd gathered here, not to mention more than a thousand, although the fish and dragons are mixed, but because the Medicine King Valley is next to it, whether it is the ordinary people in the town, or the spies planted here by the Hanging Mirror Division, including the warriors of the rivers and lakes, they all get along very harmoniously, and it is rare to even have a verbal dispute, let alone a big fight.
It seems that in such a place where the martial artists of the rivers and lakes gather, there is no Wusi Wuhou of Bianzhou Town who often comes to inspect, which in itself can explain the problem.
The fascinating charm of Yaowang Valley may also lie in this.
Leaning on the wharf of a nameless tavern, the business in the town is the best, whether it is the slender men working on the wharf, or the warriors of the rivers and lakes, they all love to gather people to drink here, because the wine sold here is the strongest, and there are various medicinal materials, which can not only expel the cold, nourish the body, but also complement each other with their good drinking warriors, many people do not even go elsewhere after learning that there is no seat, but would rather squat on the side of the road, holding the wine bowl without any image to drink, it is really not possible to see that they have been on the rivers and lakes.
However, on the edge of the small table the size of a palm, a man gently twisted the peanuts sprinkled with a thin layer of salt in the dish, fed them into his mouth one by one, and shouted to an acquaintance on the side of the road: "Dizzy, dizzy, stupid!"
The man known as Lao Ma was wearing a cleanly washed old fur coat outside, and he looked honest and honest, and after being called out by others, he immediately turned his head to look at this side, and then smiled: "Hey, it's cold, just this mouthful." ”
The man who ordered a small plate of peanuts with wine quickly moved to the side, gave up the other half of the bench, and then stretched out his hand and greeted warmly: "Come on, come on, sit here, I know that you are coming today, so I specially left you a place, you don't know, just for this half of the stool, how many good things I said to the shopkeeper." ”
On the opposite side, a person who was holding a wine bowl fired in an earthen kiln and drinking slowly in a sip couldn't help but joke: "You, it's not because you see the beauty of the proprietress that you ran up to offer courtesy, I said Lao Ma, don't fall for him." ”
After Lao Ma sat down, he touched the back of his head that was cut to only half an inch of hair, and said with a smile: "Lao Meng, he has lived most of his life alone, and now he finally knows loneliness, I understand." ”
The man next to him threw the peeled peanuts into his mouth, then clapped his hands, looked at the old horse, and said with a smile: "Hey, I have practiced martial arts all my life, and I have suffered so much, in fact, in the end, I don't think it is meaningful. ”
The man on the other side raised his head and drank the remaining medicinal wine in the bowl, stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, and said: "That's not bad, my hometown is a mess, when I was young, I went to dart for others to make a living, I was scared every day, I couldn't sleep, I came to this medicine king valley, and the king of medicine took it in, and finally knew what the fairy days were." ”
The people around listened to it, and they all nodded in unison, they were all full of emotion, they were all tired of the life in the rivers and lakes, they didn't dare to sleep in the past, and they had to carry a knife under the pillow to feel a little at ease, and now they are staying in this medicine king valley like a paradise, and finally realize the happiness of being an ordinary person, that is, the more they stay, the more they don't want to go.
I don't know who took the lead first.
"This bowl, salute the prince of medicine!"
"To the prince of medicine!"
Everyone shouted in unison, picked up the wine bowl in front of them, saluted the three mountains in the distance, and then raised their heads and drank down, wiping their mouths while looking at their friends beside them, laughing from the heart.
The old horse put down the empty wine bowl in his hand, and couldn't help but open his mouth and burp, and the person next to him was about to tease him for saying that the amount of wine was small, but he suddenly raised his head and wondered: "Hey, it's only been a few months, why did it suddenly snow?"
But the children playing on the side of the road suddenly raised their heads, looking at the snowflakes falling overhead, and they were all happy.
Children's minds are the most pure, when it snows, they can have a snowball fight with their friends, and it also means that the New Year is not far away, when the time comes, not only can they eat delicious food, but they can also receive a New Year's money of their own from the elders, and then they can buy toys or sugar gourds, how can they not be happy?
But in the next moment, Lao Ma's eyes suddenly widened, he stood up, pointed to the originally calm river in the distance, and exclaimed, "Look over there!"
It was late autumn, and the cold was getting stronger, but it was far from freezing the river, after all, this was not the bitter cold land in the far north, and the cold came not so fast, nor so bad, but in front of everyone's eyes, the big river in the distance was indeed like the midwinter wax moon, which began to freeze gradually, and even fine snowflakes floated in the sky.
The ordinary people in the town were just surprised by the abnormal weather, but almost all the martial artists who had cultivated in their bodies could clearly perceive that there was a biting cold air surging from afar!
Encountering such a strange scene, the big boats and boats on the river did not dare to stay for a long time, and they were inevitably frozen on the river by the surrounding ice, so they chose to dock quickly, because they were too anxious, and there was even a collision on the way, causing many people to fall into the water.
Rao, who fell into the water, was already shivering from the cold, but he didn't forget to swim while turning his head and scolding, and finally even the slender men in the water all turned around and ran onto the dock, looking at the snowflakes in front of them, they were all shocked and speechless.
Suddenly, someone pointed into the distance, turned his head at the same time, and shouted to the people around him in extreme horror: "Look, everyone, look! There are people on the river!"
In the distance, there was a large black spot from far and near, and there were hundreds of people stepping on the ice!
Walking in the front, it is Zhao Jin, the son of the True Martial Arts Palace, who is showing his might in Chang'an City, is still dressed in men's clothes, heroic and cool, and on her side, they are the green-haired Lu Cun Xingjun, and the new greedy wolf Xingjun Wuxin.
The ghost man in the Three Gu Hall was slightly behind by half a position, hiding among the crowd, and after that, they were all the True Martial Hall members under the command of the three people in front, including Zhao Nu and Liu Buku, as well as Ling Yueyan and Lu Qi and others, all of whom were impressively listed!
Freeze the river and walk on the ice, what a domineering thing this is!
Not to mention the people on the shore, even Zhao Nu and Liu Bubitter and others were terrified, they were both four-grade cultivators, they could better understand the horror of the other party, not only because the domineering frost moon cold air could freeze this mighty river, but also because the other party changed the climate of a place with only one person, and at the same time the face was not red, breathless, and the pace was steady, and there was no effort at all.
Zhao Jin turned her head occasionally, she was also amazed, she never thought that this young man who was brought back to the True Martial Palace by his subordinates was so powerful, although she didn't understand why she sent a few of them this time, but as the son of the True Martial Palace, she had always been the first in everything, so this time she was also the first to stand at the forefront.
The momentum was so huge, and the group of people who came so violently suddenly provoked all the people in the town to run out and surround the dock and look into the distance, especially the Jianghu warriors who had settled here, led by Lao Ma and others, were even more frowned.
If it is a guest who comes to ask for medicine, he will never do such an act, the so-called is not good, the good person does not come, dare to come to the Medicine King Valley to make trouble, and take the lead, giving this side a dismount, the power behind it must be huge, and many people have even guessed their origins.
Acting so domineering and lawless, there is only the True Martial Arts Hall on the rivers and lakes!
Zhao Jin, Wuxin, Lu Cun Xingjun, and the four of them in the ghost lang stepped on the ice, led the crowd to land, and no one dared to stop them all the way, and everywhere they went, the crowd naturally lined up on both sides to dodge, but it was ridiculous as if they were welcomed by the road.
The snow was fluttering, the cold was even stronger, but the children on the side of the road had already been held in the arms of their respective parents, hiding in the shops on both sides, looking at this side through the gap in the crowd, hundreds of people broke into the town like this, and for a while, no one dared to stop them!
After the old horse and his companions glanced at each other, he had to go out of the crowd first, stopped in the middle of the road, hugged his fist towards the opposite side, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, if you come to the Medicine King Valley to ask for medicine, please receive the supernatural powers, most of the people here are ordinary people, and they can't stand such a severe cold." ”
Another young and vigorous person shouted, "Who are you, why didn't you report your name when you arrived in the Medicine King Valley?"
After hearing this, the ghost suddenly smiled mysteriously, his lips opened slightly, and the sound spread to the four fields.
"Okay, the old man Sangu Hall is worried, I don't know what you have to say, and let's talk to the old man?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was blocking the road on the opposite side took a few steps back.
The so-called name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and the prestige of the Three Gu Halls are not much worse than the Medicine King Valley in the rivers and lakes, but not more than the Medicine King Valley has a good reputation, and even the character of the disciples is gentle and pure, and they can't find fault with the teachings, but these Three Gu Halls have always had mixed reputations, and it can even be said that the notoriety is greater than the good name, and many people are gritting their teeth once they mention it.
Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that this ghost is the most moody, not only can treat people for terminal illnesses because of temporary happiness, but also poison hundreds of people at one time in order to practice poison arts, do things according to preferences, and there are no rules in his heart, but he is such a person, he not only lives well, but also every year there is an endless stream of people looking for him to treat his own diseases, which is a unique ability.
The biggest difference between the skillful and benevolent Medicine King and this moody ghost is that even if you stand at the gate of Qianjin Peak and insult their master, Medicine King Gu will not be angry, let alone do anything to you, if other people can't see it and want to clean you up, they will often say something to stop it, but once you bump into this ghost Langzhong, even if you don't do anything, it may be a disaster, who can not be afraid of this?
But I didn't want to, the young man who made the name on the opposite side suddenly stepped forward and shouted loudly at the opposite side: "So what? I have been favored by the Medicine King and have been sheltered by the Medicine King Valley for many years, this life can be regarded as being sold to the Medicine King Valley, if you really come to ask for medicine, I will personally lead the way to Qianjin Peak for you, but if you come to stir up trouble, Lao Tzu will give up this life, and I will take you down!"
When the people around heard this, some of them were expressionless, some of them were embarrassed, and their eyes were quite unhappy when they looked at the young man, but more people chose to stand with this young man who dared to speak out, as this young man said, they were all because they received the favor of the Medicine King Valley, and they were impressed by the great virtue of the Medicine King Lord like a saint, so they chose to live in seclusion here, and at the same time guard the Medicine King Valley.
That's the reason for that!
Ghost Langzhong, who had just suddenly taken a step, stepped back, then stretched out his hand to the front, and said: "The old man is here today to win the medicine king for the True Martial Palace, and now the medicine king has not come out, and the old man also needs to recuperate, so I will hand over the matter of opening the way to the three adults." ”
Zhao Jin, who was standing at the forefront, heard this, her expression remained unchanged, in fact, she admired this medicine prince who had never met before, and she naturally didn't want to do some things, but if it was for the True Martial Palace, she would not have the slightest hesitation, but at the moment she was a little glad that she had no intention of being around, otherwise she would be a little unbearable to attack these defenders in person.
