Chapter Seventy-Five: The Outsider
Xiao Ling exchanged all the items he had snatched from Luohua Hall for a silver ticket and hid it on his body. Then it headed southwest.
After this day, Xiao Ling no longer concealed his identity. took out the booklet given by Guan Ti, and walked all the way, comparing the contents of the booklet, every time he passed by the Poyang Gang branch. went to rob, there are not many good players in the Poyang Gang. Xiao Ling didn't spend too much effort every time, so he sent the gang away, and then went inside to rob the property. For three days in a row, Xiao Ling robbed four branch halls, and collected a thick stack of silver tickets on his body.
Xiao Ling traveled all the way, and all the forces of the Poyang Gang avoided him. Many smaller forces, without waiting for Xiao Ling to arrive, closed the door early and hid.
The news of Xiao Ling's robbery all the way reached the headquarters of the Poyang Gang, and at this time, Qiu Yuan, the leader of the Poyang Gang, had not yet come out of retreat. Zuo Mu, the deputy gang leader, was in charge of the affairs of the gang, and after getting the news, Zuo Mu was furious. Personally brought out a group of people from the headquarters to Xiao Ling's place.
On this day, the sky was high and crisp, and a scholar on the official road rode on a sick horse, swaying and rushing to the road. The scholar pressed the bamboo flute in his hand and played a tune. The sound of the flute echoes in the mountains, bringing a sense of sorrow, which makes people feel intoxicated.
This scholar is Xiao Ling, since Xiao Ling left the house, he has been angry and suffering almost everywhere. In the past few days, he has smashed several branches of the Poyang Gang and grabbed a lot of silver tickets. The evil spirit in my heart has smoothed down a lot, and I have been lavish along the way, spending money like water. On this day, Xiao Ling passed by the market stable, and saw a sick horse tied to a corner by the horse owner, and the horse's eyes were full of tears. Xiao Ling saw the pity, bought the sick horse, fed the sick horse good horse food, and rode slowly.
The figure is single, the horse is old, passing through the empty mountains, surrounded by wilderness. Xiao Ling was deeply sad in his heart, and took the bamboo flute to vent.
The sick horse walked forward and arrived at a flat valley. At this time, the breeze blows lightly, and the surrounding leaves rustle. In the middle of the official road, a man in white stood in the middle of the right.
The man in white was carrying a cyan jade staff, his eyes were closed at the moment, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was touched by the sound of the flute.
The sick horse approached step by step, Xiao Lingdi's sound did not stop, but for no reason his heart trembled, and the sorrow in his heart was driven away a lot, and a cold air hit his heart. When the sick horse was within 100 meters of the man in white, Xiao Ling's heart was cold, and the sound of the flute could not continue.
As soon as the flute stopped, the man in white opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Ling, sighed in his mouth, and said, "Although Xiao Gongzi's flute sound is good, it can't last long. ”
Xiao Ling looked at the man in white, with a simple face, spotless white clothes, and a calm expression. Everything was ordinary, but it exuded a cold and arrogant aura, piercing Xiao Ling's heart.
Xiao Ling was bored for a moment before he recovered from the cold: "It's so cold, it's so cold." Are you here for Xiao?"
The man in white smiled slightly: "I originally came for you, but now I don't have to." ”
Xiao Ling was deeply puzzled: "You are not from the Poyang Gang?"
The smile on the man in white showed a hint of contempt on his face: "Poyang Gang! That's a big shark, Xiao Gongzi had better not push them too quickly." ”
Xiao Ling smiled: "It's not that I forced them, it's that they don't give me a way to live." ”
"Oh, with the strength of the Poyang Gang, it's not difficult to get your life!"
"How can you see it?" Xiao Ling was slightly unconvinced.
The man in white looked at Xiao Ling and said, "If you don't believe it, take me two tricks." As soon as the words fell, the man in white raised his right hand, lifted his body, and raised his palm to push towards Xiao Ling.
The moment the man in white got up, Xiao Ling was shocked. Pushing it with a seemingly simple and ordinary palm, Xiao Ling, who was sitting on horseback, felt that countless retreats around him had been sealed.
Xiao Ling quickly jumped up from the horse, his hands and feet fluttering in the air, turning into phantoms. Push the Phantom Moon footwork to the limit to get rid of the blockade of that palm. When he landed at his feet, he had already jumped more than ten meters away from the horse.
The man in white was surprised when he saw Xiao Ling's figure change. I thought there was no suspense in the palm, but it fell into the air.
After Xiao Ling's figure was settled, the man in white said, "Take my cane again and try it." ”
The words landed, and the man in white pulled out the jade staff behind his back. The jade staff flew up with its body and shot down towards Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling looked up and saw the jade staff flying, countless staff shadows flashed in his eyes, no matter how he took his steps, they were all within the scope of the shadow of the staff. The jade staff came smoothly and domineeringly, and the power struck, and Xiao Ling's heart was already extremely cold. Standing on the ground for a moment, unable to move.
The jade staff struck in front of Xiao Ling, stopping the fall. The man in white looked at Xiao Ling, still smiling: "Then if Qiu Yuan comes to kill you, it will only take three moves at most." However, with the footwork you just performed, you are qualified to let Qiu Yuan do it. ”
Xiao Ling stopped the horror in his heart, kept his composure, and looked at the man in white again: "You came to me for the matter of the ghost Guillotine Mountain." ”
The man in white looked at Xiao Ling, as if thoughtful: "Instantly flatten and destroy half of the mountain, you can't do this kind of thing, and no one on the rivers and lakes can do it." can destroy everything so completely, even if you reach the realm of knotting, you can't do it. There is also that inexplicable terrifying aura, which is not like everything in the world. ”
Xiao Ling nodded, and asked with some curiosity, "Then don't you want to ask something from me?"
The man in white shook his head and said, "Even if you know some clues, I can't afford to provoke a person who can emit this energy." Then the man in white looked into the distance and walked forward.
As the figure of the man in white disappeared, only a voice came: "I am Jiangnan Shen Wantian, if Brother Xiao really wants to deal with the Poyang Gang, you can come to my Shen family for help in the future." ”
Xiao Ling waited for Shen Wantian to leave, stood quietly for a long time, thinking about Shen Wantian's actions, he had a lot of doubts in his heart, but he had no clue to think about.
In the afternoon of this day, Xiao Ling rode a sick horse to a small town. Finding a teahouse, Xiao Ling asked for some snacks and tea. I want to take some breaks.
At this time, a strong man with a sword entered the teahouse and saw Xiao Ling. He walked to Xiao Ling's table, and then sat down. Unceremoniously took the snack on the table and stuffed it into his mouth. And said to Xiao Ling: "You are Xiao Ling?"
Xiao Ling glanced at the strong man with the negative sword, and said to himself a little: "It seems that everyone in this world knows me Xiao Ling, why should my brother ask again." ”
The sword-bearer also laughed 'haha', and then poured himself a cup of tea. After taking a sip of water, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm here to bring someone to talk." Brother Xiao's robbery of the Poyang Gang's various branches is really happy. It's just not clean enough, my master after you robbed this Poyang Gang branch. He also sent someone to give the results to those hall masters, deputy hall masters, and some gang members for Brother Xiao. The master is afraid that you don't want to bear this foolish account, brother, so I will be sent to inform you. ”
When Xiao Ling heard this, his face changed, and then he regained his composure: "I didn't want to kill anyone, why are you so kind to blame these lives on my head." ”
The strong man with the sword said: "My master said, as long as you join us, we will deal with this Poyang Gang together." What difference does it make if you kill these people or if we kill them!"
Xiao Ling said coldly: "What kind of organization are you, and what are the benefits of Xiao joining him?"
The sword-like man lowered his voice and said, "Furong Inn, as for the rest, Brother Guan Qiao should have told you." Brother Xiao, do you want to think about it again?"
Xiao Ling shook his head and said, "Xiao can't stand any restraints, and he doesn't want to be oppressed into the den of thieves. ”
The sword-like man smiled: "Our Furong Inn is not a den of thieves, we are businessmen, businessmen who do everything." Brother Xiao is unwilling to do this business, and no one will force him. ”
Xiao Ling replied: "Then you can go, and you'd better not be kind enough to help me Xiao in the future." Xiao can't afford it!"
The sword-like man was motionless and said, "I drank Brother Xiao's tea here and ate a lot of your snacks." You can't take advantage of Brother Xiao in vain. Out of the town ahead, there is a rain shelter. Around the rain shelter, Zuo Mu, the deputy leader of the Poyang Gang, led people to wait for Brother Xiao to come over, I don't know what Brother Xiao is going to do?"
Xiao Ling's eyes flashed: "What I, Xiao Someone, am waiting for this big battle, and I naturally have to step over this rain shelter." ”
The sword-bearing man nodded when he heard this: "Brother Xiao is really a hero and bold, since this is the case, I will go with Brother Xiao to clear some obstacles for you, and I will be responsible for Brother Xiao's tea money." ”
Xiao Ling exhaled lightly: "Whatever you want, I don't like to sway others." ”
Xiao Ling poured a cup of tea into his mouth, ate some snacks, and felt that his stomach was full, so he got up and led the sick horse and went up the official road.
The two of them left the town, and traveled about five miles to a canyon.
The canyon is flanked by cliffs, and a small pavilion was built in front of the canyon. At this moment, there was a large group of people standing around the small pavilion, about hundreds. There is a square table in the pavilion, and a bearded man sitting directly north of the square table is staring closely at the official road at the moment, watching Xiao Ling and the man with the sword approaching step by step.
The bearded man was none other than Zuo Mu, and at this moment he looked at Xiao Ling and the sword-bearing man as if he was looking at two dead objects. Zuo Mu shouted outside the pavilion: "Zhang Shaojun, you take ten good people to guard the entrance of the canyon." ”
Outside the pavilion, a man in green clothes with a knife answered, and then ordered someone to occupy the main road of the canyon.
Zuo Mu waited for Zhang Shaojun to finish arranging, and then said to the people outside the pavilion: "Form a sky net array, block the surroundings, and prepare for battle." ”
Outside the pavilion, everyone immediately dispersed, and one by one the figures flew up and down in the air, pulling out the weapons in their hands and standing in their positions. After a while, only Zuo Mu and the six men outside the pavilion were left standing in place. Keep an eye on the direction of the official road.
Xiao Ling and the man with the sword came slowly, and saw the people in front of them waiting in formation, and their faces did not change. The cold gaze that shot at them, the shaking of the shining weapon, all seemed to have nothing to do with them.
