Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Luoyang Grottoes gather together, and the fairy sound and rhythm play dumb riddles
04
Let's say that the heroes are looking forward, and thousands of people stretch their necks to look, all want to see what these men look like, could it be that they have three heads and six arms?
In the laughter, I saw that these more than 50 men all had flat heads and short hair, and there was no beard under their chins, which was really shocking. You must know that in ancient times, men grew hair and beards, "the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and filial piety is the beginning." Although the heroes of the rivers and lakes have a heroic temperament, and they live a life of fighting and killing, and they don't mind much about these red tapes, but after all, growing hair and beards is the fashion of the time, and it is also a symbol of men's status, how can they do whatever they want? Just like in today's society, when everyone suddenly sees a group of long-haired men in strange clothes getting together, it is estimated that they will also "gather and laugh at them", and they have some prejudices———— is it that there is nothing to be desired for violating the world, and they should be blamed and criticized? Isn't it true that whatever is denied by the majority of people must be wrong?
You may have the answer in your heart, but at least one thing is certain———— that is, those who dare to challenge the world and are not afraid of criticism are only a minority after all. Therefore, in the laughter of everyone, there is a faint sense of respect. Jia Yi was originally cynical, but at this moment, he was even more happy as if he had found his own brother, jumping up and down, beckoning to them: "Hey! Your appearance is really interesting, which master's craftsmanship is it? Jia Yi had not practiced internal strength, so his speech was insufficient, and except for a few people around him, none of them heard his words.
The leading man didn't pay attention to everyone's cynicism, and waited until the laughter subsided, and then said to Zhao Wuji: "In Xiahuguang, the cheap name is not enough to worry about, and there is something unclear today, so I have come to ask for advice." "The voice is extremely loud, and the internal strength is abundant, which is better than most of the people present. Both black and white were vigilant, and they both pondered in their hearts: "They are not weak, but they don't know which side to help?" At that time, there was already a discussion in private, and someone whispered: "Hey, what kind of color is that short hair, do you see it?" Some people are talking nonsense: "You can't see such a bright move?" Hmph, he is the 'Yin Yang Oolong Head, usually no underwear' known as the 'short-haired monk who flies on the water and steps in the clouds, and walks alone in the boudoir' The bare-haired monk!" Some people even wondered: "Why is his nickname so long?" I just couldn't figure it out, but after your brother said it, I understood, it turned out that he was a bastard!"
_________________________________________________
At this moment, I suddenly heard Situ Kong say to the leading man: "It turned out to be the 'Xiangtan Giant' has arrived, I don't know what Your Excellency has to say?" The man was moved, the surprise on his face could not be concealed, and he hugged his fists and said: "Admire, admire! Situ Lao'er really lives up to his reputation, and he can guess the origin of Ren with just one hand." That's right, the boy doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, I don't care about my cheap name, Ren is happy!" Others heard Situ Kong call him "Xiangtan Giant", and he reported his family again, and his name was Ren Happy, but not many people knew about it. I heard Meng Zhiqiu taunt again: "Why didn't your master come?" Can't the 'Star Bat' walk the way?"
As soon as the words "Evil Star Bat" came out, a sensation broke out among the people. Liu Qing vaguely remembers hearing the old man say: Many years ago, there was a lone thief who ran rampant in the two lakes basin and did a lot of cases. Just because he is outstanding, like a bat, everyone can't help him, so they have to give him a disgusting nickname. Liu Qing then pondered: "Ren Xingxing is a disciple of the 'Evil Star Bat', and he must not be a good person. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and continued to think: "Isn't stealing the sky also a lone thief, is it ......?" There was a hazy feeling in my heart, but I couldn't say it.
Suddenly, Zhao Wuji sneered: "Ask for advice, the old man is ashamed, he will say it if he has something to say, let it go if he has a fart, and flash it to the side if he has nothing to do." Ren Xingxing didn't care, and laughed: "Unexpectedly, after a long time, the predecessors are still the same, fast talking, and the demeanor has not diminished back then." He cleared his throat, changed his words, and said: "People who practice martial arts in the world, no matter how good you are in the world, no matter how strong your concentration is, it is difficult to resist the temptation of martial arts cheats." Chi Qianqiu's martial arts are peerless, and it goes without saying that the "Holy Martial Arts Sutra" he left behind has always been a long-cherished treasure in the martial arts. Its value to us is like the cherishing of rare chess games by people who are good at playing, the yearning of people who study calligraphy and painting for famous ancient paintings, and the thirst for bosom friends and friends of people who play music......" He paused for a moment, and then said the main point: "So, it is reasonable for our heroes to come to find the treasure of cheats by appointment, but what did Zhao Daxia do?" As soon as his words fell, the people in the underworld cheered in unison, and it was not until this moment that it became clear that these men were here to help him. After all, the son of the mouse can make holes, and his master "Evil Star Bat" is also a fellow believer.
Before Zhao Wuji could speak, he suddenly heard someone say: "The affairs of the world, the people of the world can manage them!" The group of heroes looked for prestige, but saw a middle-aged man dressed luxuriously, ruddy complexion, about forty years old, and looking like a rich man, walked out. He is the owner of the "Renyi Villa", and the second master of the "Seven Righteousness of the Central Plains" ranks second in the "scattered family wealth" Qian Mantian.
I only heard Qian Mantian say on the other side: "Eight years ago, all the underworld friends discussed major matters in Helan Mountain, and the 'Colorful Hell' was dissatisfied with the decision-making matters, and led the 'Bule Village' and the 'Toutuo Gang' to go down the mountain angrily, washing away the surrounding villages with blood, and hundreds of people suffered as a result; After the meeting, in order to avenge the revenge of the past, the 'Qinglongtan' actually united 34 gangs of all sizes and went straight to Yandang Mountain in Zhejiang, hoping to find the bad luck of the 'Five Tigers Breaking the Sword Gate'! The three brothers Wu Bojun, Wu Boxiong, and Wu Boyi led their disciples to rely on the mountain to maneuver around, and fought bloody battles for three days and three nights. Three years ago, the imperial court used troops against Yunnan to clear the Bashu bandits, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou recruited the Hunan army and the Gui army, totaling more than 100,000 horses, and wanted to level everyone's lair ...... the nest of everyone." Yuhua Palace's idea, I want to have a double robbery and feast on it. Unexpectedly, the two palace masters of Lianxiang and Xiyu have outstanding martial arts, and the women in the palace are even more women who do not let their eyebrows be saved, you steal chickens and rice, and let a group of girls beat their heads and rats, this face is embarrassing!" sighed and continued: "In fact, you can't eat enough, you can completely open your mouth to the 'Renyi Villa', Qian will respond to your needs, and try your best to help you abandon evil and follow good." Friends, why are you obsessed with rebirth of sins?" He said that everything was true, sincere, and the implication was very clear———— every time there is a large-scale gathering of the underworld, there will be a catastrophe that will destroy lives. The reason why chivalrous ways are obstructed in every way is because there is a reason.
Ren Xingxing nodded and said, "I see, that's not theirs." ”
When Liu Qing heard this, there was a "boom" in his mind, and he immediately thought that the assassination list of the bloody clothes gate in his arms involved the "Yuhua Palace" and the "Yandang Three Masters" Wu brothers, and was shocked, and said in his heart: "This is ...... Is this a coincidence, or is there another reason?" was out of his mind, and suddenly heard the ghost of the "Bule Village" village owner scolding sadly: "The ancestor Banban Zhao Wuji, fake benevolence and false righteousness are full of money, you toast and don't eat and drink, then there is no way! You can look around, if you really fucking fight, can you get cheap?" It turned out that the underworld Zhulu Haoqiang was extremely dissatisfied with Qian Mantian's words, and it was even more useless to listen to them, but when he deliberately mentioned his ugly things, the anger that had been accumulated in his heart was ignited instantly. After the ghost saw the sorrowful words, he cursed endlessly: "Chivalrous little bastard, you are conceited and noble, and your martial arts are outstanding, and I will teach you to have no return today!" "Those who know each other will kneel down and kowtow, and grandpa will let you live!"
Zhao Wuji brushed his beard with his left hand, pulled out the silver spear with his right hand, danced a flower child, and smiled: "Haha, haha, the old man has a clear distinction between good and evil in his life, how can he bow his head to the demons? Since he is here today, he has put the word life and death aside!" Although he said it simply, his voice was impassioned, the mountains echoed, and there was an indescribable courage in his tone, which instantly aroused the fire in the hearts of the chivalrous and ambitious people———— until death, never compromised, and always cherished the fire of hope. "The song of the singer, the dance of the dancer, the sword of the swordsman, the pen of the literati, and the fighting spirit of the hero are all like this, as long as you don't die, you can't give up. I saw that many men were gearing up and eager to try, and there was even a young man who made a mace in order to boost morale, and said enthusiastically: "There is nothing to be afraid of, let's fight ten at a time, and it won't be a problem!"
Liu Qing watched the situation get worse and worse, and was busy complaining, and said in his heart: "Look at this posture, isn't it going to fight?" But I haven't re-emerged from the bloody clothes gate, and planned a series of vicious conspiracies, and even want to unite with the Demon Sect to enter the Central Plains Martial Arts, what should I do?" I couldn't help but scold: "Fuck it, a group of bald donkeys in Shaolin Temple fell off the chain at a critical moment, where did they run now, why can't they even see a ghost shadow?" You must know that Shaolin is the largest faction in the world, and it has led Wulin since the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know how many disputes have been resolved. Everyone on the rivers and lakes admires the Shaolin faction, if they are in charge at this moment, everyone does not look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, everything can not lift the word "reason", no matter how much grudge there is between each other, the situation should be much more relaxed.
But the Shaolin monks have not been able to show up for a long time, and the masters of the Songshan faction are nowhere to be found.
Although Zhuo Feifei is the chief disciple of the Taishan faction, and he has both martial arts and value, after all, his qualifications and seniority are not enough, so why should the heroes listen to him? Moreover, although the Taishan faction is one of the five Yue factions, the signboard is not as loud as Shaolin Wudang after all, and it is even worse than the crowd of the beggar gang, even if the head of the Taishan faction, "Purple Qi from the East", Ren Zhenzi, the Taoist leader, personally came, there was no reason to let the two sides stop with a word.————
is helpless, and now, if Liu Qing doesn't come forward to explain the situation to Qunhao, it will be really too late. But to explain such a complicated and unbelievable thing in front of more than a thousand people, it is by no means a momentary effort, and it takes a lot of speech. Not to mention whether the group of heroes will believe that a powerless and powerless teenager will "open his mouth", in such a fierce environment as the present, everyone is fighting with their lives, white knives go in, red knives out, and who can listen to them? Rao Liu Qing is smart and witty, and there is nothing to do.
Ge Hui, the owner of the "Purple Python Cave", was even more avenging, and at this moment, he saw that the chivalrous way was intending to compete, and his heart was full of joy. In order to arouse the anger of the masses, he shouted behind him: "Brothers, brothers, like-minded brothers, in the past, we were forced by these famous and decent families, and we could only hide in the poor mountains and remote places to survive, so we didn't have to nest our bags! Now the opportunity for revenge has finally come, and the gentlemen will stand up, and everyone will take revenge and complain with resentment, and go up together!" shouted loudly, and beckoned his subordinates to rush over.
The leading big brother of the 24 Gang, the 36 villages, the 72 islands, and the 100 and 8 holes was originally out to mix, licking blood on the tip of the knife all day long, what is there to be afraid of? Although the gangs and villages have different thoughts and are uncertain, everyone shouts in the east and the west, and everyone is in the clouds, and there are many gangs that have no idea and have changed their hexagrams———— don't look at their martial arts and prestige on weekdays, but they also have unspeakable suffering: you must know that "being an official is afraid of the prince, being involved in the underworld is afraid of the big guy, Mo is strong in skills, and there are even more people." "As the so-called small forces rely on the big forces, although these leading big brothers have their own territory, but there is a sky outside the sky, they still have to be covered by others———— each gang has its own villages, each island has its own hole, that is, it is subject to the "Colorful Hell" in the north, the "Bright Palace" in Liaodong, the "Lianhuanwu" in Gusu, the "Heaven and Earth Society" in southern Fujian, the "Ten Thousand Evil Altars" in Huguang, and the "Five Poisons Sect" in Yunnan and Burma Waiting for the jurisdiction of the superiors, abiding by the rules of the road, paying a huge amount of dues every year according to their own regions, and being forced to have no way out and living by chivalrous ways, most of them have resentment, and when they think of this festival, they are angry in many places.
Now that the underworld Haoqiang saw an opportunity, "Bule Village" took the lead, and finally couldn't bear it, and half of the people gathered to respond, intending to retaliate. In an instant, six or seven hundred people drew their swords and drew their swords, the sound of killing shook the sky, and they rushed over violently, outflanked them in a roundabout way, and surrounded the chivalrous hundred heroes in three layers inside and outside in the blink of an eye. Those gang members who did not participate in the war were either seriously injured in the previous battle with the "Luohe Gang", or they wanted to pick up ready-made bargains, or they were unjust, just for the treasure of cheats, and did not want to have more rights and wrongs......
The chivalrous hero also showed his tricks immediately. Hundreds of people roared to help, the sound shook the earth, and a fight was inevitable!
Liu Qingxin said: "This is going to be a fight?" pulled Jia Yi behind him and said to him: "Brother Jia, you don't know martial arts, don't be reckless." There are many auspicious battles in this battle, and I am still too busy to take care of myself, and I really can't protect you. At that time, I can only help you escape with light skills, and after you get out, you must hand over this letter to the abbot of Shaolin Temple. Although it was a bit abrupt, I think he should have understood it after reading it. "I want to take out the secret letter in my arms and entrust it to Jia Ill.
Jia Yi was puzzled: "What kind of mess, why don't you go with me?" Thirty-six plans, go for the upper plan, if you can't beat it, you will smear oil on the soles of your feet, this is a practical magic weapon on the rivers and lakes, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Liu Qing shook his head and said: "These partners are all good men who are affectionate, there is no need to wade into this troubled water, but they all come for morality, and they refuse to take half a step back until they die." The big husband has something to do, and he must do something, how can I abandon them and escape on my own? It's a big deal, I also put my life here, what can I do?" Liu Qing was excited, and inadvertently mobilized his internal strength, so his words were really listened to by many people. Everyone's eyes shot towards the two ragged young men, and the color of approval was beyond words, and Zhao Wuji even praised it: "Little brother is righteous enough! At a critical juncture, you can give up your own safety and consider the situation of your companion, which is really the true nature of chivalry!" Turning his head to Zhuo Feifei and said: "Virtuous nephew, you have a good eye, and your new friends are really interesting!" Zhuo Feifei laughed and said: "The predecessor has a good reputation, this is the honor of the little nephew." Zhao Wuji said to Liu Qing again: "Little brother, I see that your eyes are very ...... We understand your kindness, so let's go, don't give your life in vain. Alas, the young people in the rivers and lakes, if they can act like you, how good it would be!" Liu Qing hugged his fists and saluted, intending to thank him, but he had no intention of leaving.
Unexpectedly, Jia Yi laughed and said happily: "Miao, I have long known that your brother values love and righteousness, otherwise he would not want to walk with me." Although you and I have not yet made friends with each other, we have already surpassed the point of Jinlan, not bad, not bad! Okay, my brother will accompany you, what is the joy of life, and why is it bitter to die?" sighed, frowned, and said: "It's a pity that there is no wine to drink now, but it is a regrettable thing in life." Liu Qing hurriedly said: "Brother Jia must go! I will not know whether I am alive or dead immediately, and I will explain something to you." It's too late to say the details, but this secret letter is very important, and you must take it to the Shaolin Temple as I said. He sighed and muttered: "It's also strange that I failed to make the conspiracy of the Bloody Clothes Gate public in time...... and thought about it: "This initiator is deliberately planning the turmoil in the Luoyang Grottoes, it shouldn't be as simple as provoking a dispute between black and white. What is he trying to do? Why is he so reluctant to show up?"
Sure enough, as Liu Qing expected, at this moment, there was a sharp noise falling from the sky, "squeaking", deafening, like the sound of metal rubbing roaring in the ears, piercing the brain. More than 1,000 people couldn't help but shout, and there were many people who were so pained that they squeezed their eyebrows, hunched over, hurriedly discarded the blades in their hands, and plugged their ears; even some people rolled on the ground and cursed loudly; even Meng Zhiqiu, who had profound internal strength, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and hurriedly relieved the pain with the acupoints in his ears.
Who is capable of fighting at this time? Everyone knows what is going on.
After a while, the harsh noise gradually calmed down, and suddenly became a subtle rhythm like mountains and flowing water, and it was not comfortable to listen to. Unexpectedly, the music did not stop, and I heard the mysterious woman say softly: "Wuhua Tianbao moves and winds, and it is the same as Xiao Shaoxian." You have come from afar, come to the appointment, ask for the secret book and get the treasure, and reveal the secret has comforted your life, which is a matter of great life. How can you expect that a group of ordinary people are ignorant and ignorant, and dare to act in vain in front of the Buddha, but you can deny the sin?" This woman is proud of her cleverness, and her words are not inferior, and she actually regards the heroes of the world as nothing, and even plays with the heroes in the palm of her hand with a single melody. But everyone was so angry that they cursed and vented their anger, one after another, and I don't know how many people looked around, and at the same time shouted, "Who are you?" The mysterious woman giggled and asked, "Why are you here?"
More than 1,000 people shouted in unison: "Come for the treasure of cheats!"
The woman talked in the air and sneered: "Since I came here for the treasure of the cheats, why did I meet with swords instead of looking for my whereabouts?" and someone scolded: "Who are you bitch?" The woman "sighed", delicate and infinite, and whispered softly: "I am what you think about day and night, the initiator of this 'Luoyang Heroes Meeting'!" As soon as her voice fell, more than a thousand people exclaimed in unison, and even the unscrupulous Zhao Wuji couldn't help but change his face. In fact, as early as the first time she had a conversation with the heroes, everyone had a vague conjecture, but they didn't want to admit that the initiator was actually a woman. Now it is clear, but everyone has three points of surprise and three points of expectation in their hearts, and four points of doubt and incomprehension......
At that time, more than 1,000 people were boiling, and the scene was even more difficult to control. Suddenly, Ren Xingluck said: "How do we know where the girl is when we hear the sound and see no one, where we don't hear the sound?" After a while, all the heroes fell silent.
I only listen to the faintness of the guqin, which is the main rhythm, and the pipa is solemn and does the auxiliary music; the Xiao flute runs through it, and what is played is an elusive "entry song". The woman sang along with the music: "The past is gone and cannot be traced, today is here and cherished, tomorrow is singing and dancing, I don't know where is the return?"
More than 1,000 people looked at each other, not knowing what it meant. Ren Xingxing asked, "What kind of answer is this?" The crowd even more anxiously scolded: "Stinky bitch, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?
At this moment, I saw Zhuge Zhida gently shake the feather fan, walked out, and said slowly: "Since the girl is entertaining visitors at the 'Three Buddha Shrines of Moya', it is not bad. But that place is really small, I'm afraid that we ordinary people can't stand away?"
The three Buddha shrines were carved in the Wuzhou period, and the three Buddhas created represent the "past", "present" and "future" respectively, which is a typical example of the "three Buddhas" of Mahayana Buddhism. The meaning of the Three Buddhas not only corresponds to the title of the woman's poem, but also coincides with the meaning of her chanting three times.
Zhuge Zhida is knowledgeable and wise, and is known as the "miraculous calculation" Xiao Zhuge , which is a clever man with a hat. But he was also known for his arrogance and self-esteem. Zhuge Zhida had just heard the woman say that she was an "ordinary man", how could she bear it? I had to give her a good look———— but most of the wise and intelligent people throughout the ages regarded themselves as high and smart, and there were few truly humble people.
I only heard the woman sigh leisurely: "The little woman just lost her words, and I hope that Mr. Zhuge will not meet with the woman's family." When I say ordinary people, I don't mean Mr. ......" giggled, and there was more sarcasm in his voice, as if he was saying the words "ordinary people", which were specially created for you.
Zhuge Zhida was furious and was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly heard six or seven people say at the same time: "What are you waiting for, go and see!" Before they finished speaking, someone had already shaken their bodies and ran towards the "Three Buddha Shrines of Moya". Many people exclaimed in surprise and hurried to follow, but no one refused to lag behind by half a step. More than 1,000 people crowded together, surging like a tide, and kept shouting: "Hey, don't squeeze the people in the back!" "Hurry up, hurry up!" "Don't worry!" "Get out of your mother!" Finally, some people thought of performing light skills, and those who excelled in martial arts went away, and many people who were not good at martial arts trampled to death.
After a while, all the heroes and powerhouses of the underworld were all gone, and only the hundred heroes of the chivalrous way were left in place, waiting for the arrangement of Zhao Wuji and others. Situ Kong asked, "What should we do?" Meng Zhiqiu said: "What else can we do?"
Exactly: a smile and a joke are in the palm of the hand, and a mystery and a song are in the slightest. I don't know how the woman was arranged, and what is the mystery of the three Buddha shrines on the cliff, and look at the next decomposition.
