Seventy-four The unsolved case is foggy

Early the next morning, Ding Piaopeng was leaving, and at the door of the inn, Wang Xiaoer said: "This inn is your home, go home and rest when you are tired, uncle." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ding Piaopeng said: "I'll come to see you after finishing this business, Jiashan." ”

Ding Piaopeng took the whip pole handed by the man, jumped on the saddle, the man wiped the four-wheeled carriage clean, he took out a few copper coins from his bosom to reward the man, and then, as soon as the whip was shaken, the carriage left.

Deng Caibao, the bookkeeper on the side, asked, "Boss, what kind of business does your uncle do?"

Wang Xiaoer said: "Silk, in fact, I don't know, for a while, I will pound silk, and for a while, I will not make a fortune." ”

Deng Caibao said: "That's hard to say, luck hasn't come yet, you can't push away when the mildew comes, and you can't stop it when luck comes." ”

Wang Xiaoer said: "That's the same. ”

Wang Xiaoer looked at Brother Ding's carriage and disappeared before turning around and walking into the inn.

Now, Ding Piaopeng is also driving a one-man carriage.

The carriage is custom-made by him to the most famous big car dealer in Beijing, the materials are exquisite, not fake carving, sturdy, the structure in the carriage is exactly the same as that of Liu Sange, and he went to the mule and horse market to buy a good horse, and since then it is much easier to walk the rivers and lakes.

After all, the carriage is much more convenient than riding a horse, and you can also take food and drink, even if you go to the wilderness, in the event of wind and rain, the carriage is a warm home, and it will not be drenched like a chicken in soup in a hurry, looking for an inn.

Out of Nanjing, Ding Piaopeng got on the post road and drove the horse to a trot in the direction of Wuxi. Along the way, he inquired about the shopkeeper on the side of the road, two days ago, there were two people, riding horses, one was pale, the other was burnt, passing by here? Some people said that they did not pay attention, and some people said that there were indeed such two people, Ding Piaopeng did not rest except for feeding and drinking water for the horses, and hurried all the way, passed Zhenjiang and Changzhou, and did not enter the city, and in the evening of the same day, his carriage had followed far behind the golden fish and the white stripe. He drove the carriage past the golden fish and the white stripe, recognized their faces, and then fell behind them, far away, not wanting to alarm these two thieves, after all, they knew more about Li Youzhong than themselves, and saw where they were going to find Li Youzhong.

What are these two people? Where is their lair? Who is their boss? Ding Piaopeng must solve these mysteries.

At night, I arrived in Wuxi. The golden fish and the white strip stayed at the Taihu Lake Inn in the city, Ding Piaopeng parked the car on the side of the road in the distance, and for a while, he thought that the two thieves had settled down properly, and he also drove the carriage into the Taihu Lake Inn.

At night, he asked the innkeeper to bring wine and food, and by the way, he gave the guy some loose silver, and asked, "Have you seen the yellow-faced man and white-faced man staying today?"

The guy said: "The faces of those two people, no one can forget them when they see them, they are scary." I still carried their luggage. ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "Yes, what room do they live in?"

The guy said, "Room 9 in the West Courtyard." Why, Mr. is familiar with those two guest officers?"

Ding Piaopeng said: "It seems that I have seen it somewhere, just ask." ”

Late at night, Ding Piaopeng was dressed in a night outfit, his face was covered with black cloth, he started light exercises, and floated into the West Courtyard silently. He lurked under the hedge in the courtyard, observing the movement around him, and was trying to get close to Room Nine to see the movement, suddenly, the window of Room Nine quietly opened, and two figures flew out of the window, which were expected to be golden fish and white stripes, and they were also dressed in nocturnal clothes, their faces were covered with black cloth, but the two of them had a white cloth tied around their left arm, probably to make a sign, so as not to be separated in the night, they swept away from the inn one after the other, where did they want to go? At night, it is the world of Ding Piaopeng, his night eyes are very sharp, even the owl Hu Dafa is slightly inferior, other skills, he does not dare to boast of Haikou, night tracking, when there is no one else today, this words, he thinks it is well-deserved, his night eyes and light skills, are called contemporary swan songs.

Ding Piaopeng was about to fly to keep up, suddenly, a black shadow flew out from under the eaves on the side, that person was also dressed in a night outfit, with a single knife on his back, his face was covered with a black cloth, and his light skills were unique, and the speed was extremely fast, which surprised Ding Piaopeng, there are only a few people in this world who can make Ding Piaopeng impressed, in addition to his mentor Tianshan Pengxian Fei Patriarch, it is the ever-changing third brother Liu, who can't wake up in the clear space, and there is this night walker tonight, so let's call him a night walker, fast and agile, and extraordinary.

However, the night walker is fast, and the light power in front of Ding Piaopeng still seems to be a little worse, and it is inevitable that there will be the sound of the wind in the clothes when flying, although the sound is very small, and it is difficult for ordinary people to perceive, but it is enough for Ding Piaopeng, and it is completely possible to identify his position according to the subtle sound made by the night walker when he flies, and bite the person tightly outside the three zhang.

There are no stars and moon at night, and the weather is extremely stuffy and dark. Ordinary people's eyesight is almost useless, which is cheap Ding Piaopeng.

Ding Piaopeng's flying, not only fast and exquisite, but also silent, he is like a falcon gliding in the air, hovering in the air flow of the winter night, both brisk and leisurely, you are fast and I am fast, you are slow and I am slow, the tip of the toe on the tree branch a little bit of force, then the electric shot forward, the palm of the hand on the ridge of the house lightly pressed, and then rose up, just like a swimming fish, with the wind as the water, silently through, almost to the Taoist breath and walk in the magical realm, this is the Tianshan Pengxian peerless wonderful light skill.

The Night Walker had no way of noticing, who was the Night Walker, and what was he going to do? Ding Piaopeng didn't know anything, however, it was not easy to get rid of him when he was bitten by Ding Piaopeng.

Four people before and after, in the ridge of the eaves treetop city wall flying, out of the city, came to the southern suburbs of a purple bamboo forest, there is a temple in the purple bamboo forest, four people have swept into the temple, only the temple of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, but also lit incense candles, there is an old monk sitting cross-legged on the futon, knocking on the wooden fish, chanting the scriptures, a mind to do the evening class, a pay into the appearance of the set.

The rest of the monks in the temple are about all sleeping in the wings, and the sound of wooden fish and chanting scriptures is very quiet and melodious.

The golden fish and the white stripes flew down at the door of the main hall, the thief looked into the hall with a dog's brain, the night walker lurked behind the huge copper incense burner in front of the court, and Ding Piaopeng hid in the dense leaves of the big camphor tree in the court, the monk stopped the wooden fish, and asked softly: "Where is the donor, come to our temple, the poor monk is very honored, and he will not hesitate to advise." ”

Seeing that their tracks were exposed, the golden fish and the white striped son looked at each other, and simply strode into the hall, and the golden fish said, "This is Zizhu Temple, right?"

The old monk was still sitting cross-legged, lowered his eyes, and said, "Yes." ”

Bai Tiaozi said to the golden fish: "I'm right, this is Zizhu Temple, a few years ago, I came to burn incense once, and I heard that the Guanyin Bodhisattva of Zizhu Temple is very spiritual." ”

Goldfish asked, "What did you wish?"

"I want to have a son. ”

"The result?"

"Damn, it's still a daughter. ”

"It doesn't seem to work at all. ”

The old monk said: "The four are empty, and the children are the same, they are all empty." ”

Goldfish asked, "What's the truth?"

The old monk said: "Reality is the appearance of emptiness, and emptiness is the foundation of reality." There is nothing in the world, so why bother. ”

The golden fish said: "You are the abbot of the void, right?"

"That's right. ”

"You're talking empty words. Let me ask you, where is your apprentice, the demon monk?"

"I don't know, people have been gone for ten years, and there is no news, I don't know whether they are dead or alive. ”

"I heard that the common name of the demon monk is Li Youzhong?"

"Yes. ”

"I heard that he was looking for enemies everywhere. ”

"Yes, the demon dust is not over, I am obsessed, I have a demonic obstacle in my heart, and the murderous aura is too heavy. The old man can't turn him away. ”

"Does the demon monk have relatives and friends in Wuxi?"

"I heard that there is, but I don't know where?"

"If the demon monk is still alive, where is it most likely to go?"

"Emei, Wutai, Jiuhua, and Putuo are the four famous mountains of my Buddha that Fu Mo likes the most, maybe he hangs Zen there. ”

Jinyu said: "I heard that the monk Fumo is a monk halfway, there must be a wife and a child in the family, right?"

Only then did the abbot open his eyes and glance at the two masked people, but he was not surprised, and said: "The old man has never asked about the monks' private affairs, and he knows very little about the affairs of the demon monks, so I hope the donor will forgive me." ”

Bai Tiaozi was annoyed, brushed, pulled out the sword on his back, put it on the neck of the abbot of Xingkong, and said: "The thief is bald, Hugh has to prevaricate Lao Tzu, saying, where is the family of the demon monk? If you blindly quibble, Lao Tzu's sword is hungry and wants to drink blood." ”

As soon as Bai Tiaozi said this, suddenly, there was a thunderclap, which shook the earth, and even the ground trembled, and God seemed to be angry, chasing and killing the people who hurt the heavens and reasoned in the night sky. In the dead of night, a thunderclap on the flat ground startled everyone, it was winter, and the thunder rumbled, which was indeed very strange. Ding Piaopeng took a look, and saw the abbot of the sexual void under the sword of the white stripe, I don't know when it disappeared, so fast body, between the eyelashes, walked without a trace, even Ding Piaopeng looked away, the white stripe and the golden fish, naturally felt more inexplicably wonderful, each carrying a sword, looking for it in the hall, and stomping his feet, scratching his head, and turning his head, where can he still find the abbot of the void.

These two fools don't want to think about it, if the abbot of Xingkong moves to kill, with their skills, An You's life, these two golden fish and white stripes have already become dead fish. Now, what are you looking for, isn't that looking for death!

Then, a lightning bolt in the sky illuminated a purple bamboo temple brightly, Ding Piaopeng saw the night walker hiding behind the copper incense burner, covering his ears with both hands, curled up in a ball, trembling with fright, he felt very strange, a thunder, actually a first-class high-roller, scared into this appearance, that than the winter thunder, more surprised. Immediately afterwards, the sky changed dramatically, thunder and lightning roared, and heavy rain poured down.

By the light of lightning, he saw the night walker, and swept backwards and flew into the city. Wind and rain, thunder and lightning, Ding Piaopeng followed closely behind him, crossed the forest and water, flew the eaves and walked the wall, returned to the city, the night traveler swept into a luxury inn, called Liyuan Inn, entered the courtyard, floated straight into his room from the window, closed the window, and never came out again.

Ding Piaopeng licked open the window paper, looked into the room, and saw that the night walker turned on the light, took off his night clothes, and covered his face with fluffy white hair, it was difficult to see the night walker's face at all, he was naked all over, and a green dragon was tattooed on his body, coiled straight down from the front chest to the back, until he reached his left leg, the night walker climbed into the wooden basin to take a bath, and never came out again. From beginning to end, Ding Piaopeng couldn't see the night walker's face. The rain is still pouring down, Ding Piaopeng has been drenched, he remembered the room number of the 18th, he retreated, started a light work, returned to the Taihu Inn, and by the way also went to the room of the goldfish and the white strip to spy on it, the two boys also just arrived at the inn, and were scolding and wiping their bodies, saying that they would go to Zizhu Temple tomorrow to find the abbot of sex, the old monk was too cunning, taking advantage of the winter to fight the strange thunder, the brothers were startled, and they ran away, as the saying goes, you can escape the monk, you can't escape the temple, see where you run.

Ding Piaopeng listened to Zhile, he had seen stupid, but he had never seen such stupid. He planned to put the two stupid thieves aside for the time being, and tomorrow morning, he would also live at the Liyuan Inn and continue to spy on the night walkers, he was very happy, he had finally gained a lot today, and knew a lot about Li Youzhong.

Early in the morning, Ding Piaopeng lived in the Liyuan Inn, he was like a bored traveler, in the inn in the garden winding paths, strange flowers and grasses wandering around, as if playing with flowers and plants, came to the front of room 18, saw the door slightly open, the window also opened a door, but could not hear the movement in the room, couldn't help but be taken aback, just a guy came to the front, and asked: "Hey, little brother, this room 18 is so elegant, do you have a guest to live." ”

The guy said, "Boss, no." Before dawn today, the guest officer muttered about checking out, saying that he had something urgent to do, and when he paid at the counter, he urged him to hurry up, and finally, he threw down the money and walked away. What a gunner. ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "Is this really the case?"

"Boss, how dare the little one lie to you, do you want to live in room 18, the little one will help you change rooms, how about it?"

Ding Piaopeng said: "No, no. Didn't the guest say where to go?"

"I didn't say it. ”

Ding Piaopeng took out some scattered silver and gave it to the guy, the guy smiled and thanked him repeatedly, Ding Piaopeng asked, "What does the guest look like?"

The man said: "Tall, white hair, white eyebrows, round face, triangular eyes, sixty years old, tan complexion, a black mole on his left cheek, a pinch of white hair on the black mole, a single knife hanging from his waist, alone, and the guest wore a red cotton robe, brown deerskin soft boots, and rode a Kanto brown horse, and left in a hurry." That's it, boss, can the little one go?"

Ding Piaopeng said: "Slow, where is his accent?"

The guy said: "Northeast people, a Northeast accent." Oh, by the way, he left a note for the villain, saying, if anyone comes to him today, give the note to the person who found it. Are you looking for him?"

Ding Piaopeng was stunned and said, "Yes, look for him." ”

The guy took out the note from his sleeve, handed it to Ding Piaopeng, and left.

The note read: Third brother, hello, you must be looking for me, it is impossible for ordinary people to find me, I think, only you. However, you were so careless that you actually poked a small hole in the window paper and snooped on me, which is not very polite. Before going to bed, I checked the window again, and found a small hole, and before moving into the room, I carefully checked the window, and it was in good condition, like this luxury inn, which should have been flawless. Now that you've found a small hole, it must be your masterpiece. Fortunately, last night was stormy, how can people be embarrassed, it is estimated that you left temporarily, I think you will definitely come again, I will not stay for a long time, so I left a short note to apologize. Please bear with me if I say goodbye. The coming day is long, and there will be a period later. Anonymous smiles, a certain year, a certain month, a certain day.

Ding Piaopeng saw the note, he was in a daze, no, let's go back to the Taihu Lake Inn, continue to track the golden fish and the white stripe, it seems that the boss they said is the night walker, and the night walker is the "white haired wind", and the white haired wind is the enemy that the third brother is looking for. This white-haired wind is a spirit, he is careful everywhere, he never slackens, he just made a mistake and regarded himself as the third brother Liu.

At noon, Ding Piaopeng stayed at the Taihu Lake Inn again.

Late at night, the golden fish and the white stripe, still dressed in night clothes, arms wrapped in white cloth, face covered with black cloth, back with a sword, swept out of the window, flying towards the Zizhu Temple in the south of the city, Ding Piaopeng had already been behind the tree cat, seeing them come out, he was not busy to follow, he was lucky, waiting for the night walker to appear, left and right, nowhere to be seen, knowing that the night walker would not come, only to wear out from behind the tree, to the south of the city.

The speed of his light work was amazing, and almost at the same time, he arrived at Zizhu Temple at the same time as the golden fish and the white stripe.

Everything in Zizhu Temple is the same, the front and rear halls and the wings on both sides are pitch black, only the Daxiong Treasure Hall is lit with an ever-bright lamp.

The golden fish and the white strip swept into the hall, and when they saw that the abbot of the sex void was gone, the gold fish shouted at the top of his voice: "The sex empty thief is bald, come out quickly, otherwise, Lao Tzu is welcome, and a fire will burn your temple." ”

Bai Tiaozi also shouted: "You don't toast, don't eat and drink, and if you don't come out again, Lao Tzu can do what he says, and he really starts to set fire." ”

The golden fish said: "Hey, Brother Bai, it seems that something is wrong, our brothers can shout vigorously, why no one comes out, is it that the monk is afraid of the two of us, and they all ran away." ”

Bai Tiaozi said: "Whatever, shout two more voices, if you don't come out, let's light a fire and burn Zizhu Temple, lest the boss tell us to run thousands of miles to Wuxi again." ”

The golden fish shouted again: "Okay, the sexual emptiness is bald, do you hear it, Brother Bai is really annoyed, if you don't come out, we will give you a bright hall." ”

Suddenly, from behind the statue of the eighteen Arhats, a person floated down, that person was the abbot of Xingkong, he was dressed in a gray cotton robe, with a large string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, his palms were folded, and he said: "Amitabha, two donors, looking for the old man is to inquire about the family of the monk Fu Mo, right?"

Goldfish said: "Exactly." ”

"Then come with the old man. ”

Bai Tiaozi said: "Let's talk to you well, I still put up a shelf, I don't want to say, I must be angry, I can learn to be obedient, everyone is the same, even the monk is a hanging sample." ”

The abbot of Sexual Void did not answer, and said, "The donor is angry, let's go." ”

Jinyu said: "Slow, Brother Bai, do you think this old monk will be weird, why is he so happy to promise today?"

Bai Tiaozi said: "Are you afraid?"

Jinyu said: "What are you afraid of, Lao Tzu Jinyu is this kind of person! This is called caution, ask a few more whys in everything, this is what the boss often warns us, don't go through a intestine to the end, go straight to the end, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss." ”

Bai Tiaozi said: "Golden fish, you kid gave Lao Tzu a lesson, when Lao Tzu debuted, you were still practicing the basic routines of martial arts on the bank of the Songhua River, when you first arrived in the rivers and lakes, Lao Tzu was already three into the palace, in terms of qualifications, you are far behind, it is the turn of others to teach Lao Tzu, and it is not your turn to take classes." ”

Jinyu said: "Bai Tiaozi, don't pretend to be garlic, as the saying goes, heroes don't ask where they come from, no matter how old or young they are, the ever-changing third brother Liu is in his twenties, and he has become the number one swordsman in the world, and the flying thief Ding Piaopeng is only twenty years old, the first in the world, and the hand is sick and does not fall down, I heard that he is only in his teens......"

The abbot smiled slightly, simply sat down on the futon, twisted the Buddha beads in one hand, chanted words in his mouth, and started the evening class.

Bai Tiaozi said: "Golden fish, you are endless, if the old immortal changes his mind and doesn't go, can you afford it?"

Only then did the golden fish remember the abbot of sexuality, kicked the sexuality abbot who was sitting on the futon, and scolded: "Old thief bald, who told you to sit, get up, and go to the family of the demon monk." ”

The abbot said, "Have you finished discussing?"

Bai Tiaozi said: "This is called discussion? This is called nonsense." ”

The abbot said, "Have you finished breaking it?"

The golden fish said: "It's over, let's go." ”

The abbot stood up, walked a few steps, and said: "I'm old, my memory is poor, I just gave you a blind break, and I forgot about it, where does the family of this demon monk live, it seems to be a little messy." ”

Bai Tiaozi said: "Let's see, isn't it, ask a few more whys for everything, okay, you can ask, people are so old, they are all confused for you, don't say that he is confused for you, even if I also ask you confused, simple things, what are you doing when it is so complicated, see what you say when you go back to the boss! Lao Tzu can't control you, the boss can manage you." ”

The golden fish was frightened and said, "Hey, Brother Bai, you have to cover your brother, you can't say this, we can't have a conflict, cheapen this old guy." After finishing the errand, the brother treats you, buys two bottles of good wine, honors Brother Bai, and gives you the old pressure to dissipate the anger. ”

Bai Tiaozi was relieved at this time, and said to the abbot of Xingkong: "Have you remembered, old thing?"

The abbot said: "I think about it, don't make a fuss, if you make a fuss, you have to forget it." Believe it or not, you young people are the same at my age, and if you don't have anything else, you love to forget. ”

As he spoke, he lit a lantern and held it in his hand, Shi Shiran walked out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, out of the Zizhu Temple, walked a few steps to the east, turned back, and walked west. The golden fish and the white strip didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear that the words would alarm the abbot of Xingkong and disrupt his train of thought, saying yes and forgetting it, and the task assigned by the boss would really not be completed.

Ding Piaopeng followed quietly behind them, and the more he looked at the two, the more fun he felt.

The abbot took the two of them to a black pine forest, rested the lantern on the fork of the tree, climbed to the foot, and said, "Amitabha, the two donors, have arrived at the ground." ”

Bai Tiaozi said angrily: "Old man is not dead, you are entertaining Lao Tzu! Where are the people?"

The abbot said, "In the underground." ”

"Dead?"

"Not really. The demon monk has lived an underground life all these years. Where he came from, where he went, where his family was, what his name was, no one knew, he sometimes came out of the ground, showed his face, and sank again, like a native grandson, proficient in earth retreat, only in this way can he live, he knows that someone is looking for him, he keeps moving his nest, someone wants his life, he just lives in this kind of retreat, what kind of life can he live?

Bai Tiaozi's eyes sparked, he pulled out the long sword from his back, and couldn't help but say, Leng Ding stabbed the abbot in the chest with a sword. The abbot of the void floated and swept away, his body was agile, he had already flashed his sword, laughed, and his hands were still twisting the Buddha beads.

The golden fish pulled out his knife, pounced on him with an oblique stab, slashed at his shoulder, and said, "It seems that the old thing is a practitioner." ”

The abbot lowered his head, his body pierced out from under the knife, and he flashed in front of the golden fish, and a string of Buddhist beads slashed towards his hand holding the knife, and the golden fish screamed, and the back of his hand was hit by the Buddha beads, and he threw a single knife in pain, and his hands were clasped in front of his chest, and a lazy donkey rolled and rolled away.

Bai Tiaozi took the opportunity to rush to the back of the abbot of the sex, three moves in a row, one move was more ruthless than the other, the meteor fell to the jade pillow point in the back of the head of the sex, the monk of the sexuality took a step to the side, dodging and avoiding; before he gave up. As for whether Li Youzhong is alive or dead, and where his family is, these questions have long been thrown out of the clouds. Today, you old monk dare to play tricks on the uncle, hmph, you have to pay the price of death! The situation is sinister, seeing Ding Piaopeng's heart jumping, and he is about to come to the rescue, but unexpectedly, the abbot of the void volleys change his momentum, his body slothes to the side, sideways to avoid the stabbing sword, the Buddha beads in his hand rushed towards him, and the white stripe who couldn't control the momentum waved his hand on his face, this trick is called "sweeping away troubles" , just swept on the face of the oncoming white stripe, the string of Buddha beads condensed the vitality of the abbot's arm of the void swing out of the true qi, the strength is huge, unexpected, the white stripe face stroke, screamed, when a long sound, sprinkled the long sword, covered the face with both hands, flew out obliquely, Peng, hit the tree, and then lost consciousness, fell softly to the ground, a strong convulsion.

Covering the back of his hand on the side, watching the lively golden fish, he was about to cheer loudly for Bai Tiaozi, but unexpectedly, the rabbit rose and fell, winning or losing, he blinked, was so frightened that he forgot to escape.

The abbot clasped his palms together and shouted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, good, good." "The big sleeves fluttered, and between the two ups and downs, they disappeared into the purple bamboo forest.

Ding Piaopeng stepped on a little, flew up, and followed.

He wanted to find out, where was the abbot going this time? Did the abbot really not know Li Youzhong, or did he not know Li Youzhong? At least, the abbot knew a little more about Li Youzhong than the golden fish and the white stripes.

The light skill of the abbot of the void is extraordinary, but for Ding Piaopeng, it is not a problem to be suffixed.

The abbot returned to Zizhu Temple, he floated into the hall with big sleeves, Ding Piaopeng did not dare to follow up rashly, so as not to be discovered by him, so he hid in the dense leaves of the big camphor tree in front of the court, watched the movement, after a while, there was still no movement in the temple, there was no light or sound in the hall, Ding Piaopeng rushed into the hall like a raccoon cat, the hall was silent, he turned around in the hall, but no one was seen, he thought, maybe there is a tunnel in the hall, don't alarm the abbot of the void for the time being, it seems that if you want to find Li Youzhong, you will have to fall on the abbot of the void。

And if you want to find the white-haired wind, you have to land on the goldfish and the white stripe, so let's return to the Taihu Inn and keep an eye on the two thieves first.

***

The lantern on the fork of the tree was still lit, the golden fish picked up the single knife, carried the lantern, walked to Bai Tiaozi, probed his nostrils, his breathing was still there, but his face was full of blood, and the bridge of his nose was broken, he pushed Bai Tiaozi, and said: "Brother Bai, come, brother will give you some medicine to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, so as not to get infected." ”

He sat on the tree and took out the golden medicine, the white slivers hummed and chirped, and the pain was unbearable, and the golden fish applied plasters to the white slivers and bandaged the wounds, and the white slivers screamed with a sigh: "Can you be light, yo yo, do you want Lao Tzu to die, ah yo, Lao Tzu is dead, are you happy?" ”

The golden fish couldn't help but gloat a little in his heart, but he said: "Like pure masters, like the old lady, the poor scream, is it interesting, Lao Tzu is not lightly injured, the back of his hand is broken, and he will heal you, men, you should be ruthless to yourself." ”

Bai Tiaozi said: "Ruthless, Lao Tzu came to save you, and he was fighting hard with the old immortal, but you kid was watching the excitement on the sidelines, which is really not interesting." ”

The golden fish said: "What you said is bad, at that time, Lao Tzu saw that this old immortal was about to end, and he wanted to applaud you, but he didn't expect that in the blink of his eyes, the old hen turned into a duck, and it was the white brother who fell." Lao Tzu didn't scare him, isn't he just a death, his head was cut off and he touched the ground, and in another twenty years, Lao Tzu will be a good man again, isn't that what is the case! Lao Tzu raised his knife and approached the old immortal, seeing that Lao Tzu was going to fight with him seriously, and the old immortal was afraid, so he slipped away. As the saying goes, the timid are afraid of the bold, and the bold are afraid of dying, if you really work hard, even if you are good at kung fu, you have to beat the drum in your heart. To put it mildly, if you don't have my brother to protect me, Brother Bai, today, you will be able to explain more than 100 catties. ”

Bai Tiaozi said: "Scared, in this way, Lao Tzu has to thank you for the life-saving grace of the golden fish!"

Goldfish said: "It's not like that. But, of course thank you, it's okay if you don't thank you, we buddies live and die together, and we eat this bowl of rice that licks blood from the knife edge, don't care about this. ”

Bai Tiaozi said: "Oh yo, tap and tap, Lao Tzu your ancestors for eight lifetimes, you kid speaks well, but he doesn't do a good job, and he is a brother of you, which is considered to be Lao Tzu's eight lifetimes of evil mold." ”

After the bandaging was completed, the goldfish supported the white strip and carried a lantern, and the two brothers and sisters walked towards the city.

***

Originally, Liu Sange's carriage was a set of a big black horse, but now, Liu Sange's carriage has become a two-horse horse-drawn set. Xiao Lizi died, and Nan Bu sold the extra carriage and a horse.

Third Brother Liu drove the car, Nan Bu sat in the carriage, she opened the front window of the carriage and chatted with Third Brother Liu. Sometimes she wanted to catch the car, but Third Brother Liu didn't let her, and said: "Wait, wait until you learn the three most important three tricks of the thirteen styles of the Wordless True Scripture, and then you can sit on the saddle of the car to catch the car, otherwise, it will be dangerous to meet the killer who killed Xiao Lizi." ”

The three most important moves are "no gaps", "omnipotent", "no trace"; the first move is to crack the defensive tricks of all kinds of hidden weapon attacks; the second move is to crack the defensive tricks of all kinds of weapon attacks; the third move is to attack as soon as you get started, that move is incredible, surprisingly successful, can disintegrate any defense of the top master, force it back or break its heart, it is a fast and fast kill.

These three tricks seem easy, but they are difficult to learn. It is a completely different path from the South China Sea Sword Sect, and the South China Sea Sword Sect is taking a number of partial paths, one move and one style, extremely tricky and eccentric, The Kunlun Sword School is magnificent, wide open and close, the moves seem ordinary, plain, in fact, every move is extraordinary, implying eighteen variables, these eighteen variables, to deal with the different situations in real combat in a timely manner, pay attention to the sword from the heart, the unity of the human sword, the intention to move the sword, the sword to go at will, and the sword road of chopping and picking thorns to block the grid and smash the belt, not only is it different from the South China Sea swordsmanship, but it is different from all other sects, beginners are the most difficult to adapt, so angry that the south does not fall down several times and threw the sword, do not want to learn。 But Third Brother Liu was not accommodating at all, and said with a stiff face that he would not learn the "Thirteen Styles of the Wordless True Scripture", so he would go back to the South China Sea. Nan Bu muttered: "You are looking for excuses, you must dislike me, deliberately pick a thirteen-point swordsmanship for me to learn, to make me angry, isn't it! If you want me to go, I'll go, it's better to be quick and straightforward, don't beat around the bush and make a trick, this girl is not a rotten sweet potato that no one wants, besides, you are not the best beautiful man in the world, I won't rely on you." Third Brother Liu smiled, picked up the sword and stuffed it in her hand, and said: "You are the first doctor today, saving lives and helping the wounded, you can learn so difficult things so well, I don't believe that you will not be able to learn the 'Thirteen Styles of the Wordless True Scripture', hold the sword, hold, good, concentrate your energy, have no distractions, look at each other, take advantage of the sword, be fast, do it again, very good, much progress." Nan Bu poured the sword in his hand and said: "Don't put a high hat on me, this thirteen-point swordsmanship is indeed a bit difficult to learn, anyway, I will play with you for three months, if you really can't learn, go back to the South China Sea, go back to the South China Sea, what's the big deal." This girl doesn't rely on swords to eat, she relies on the real ability to heal diseases, and she can't learn and won't collapse. Liu Sange smiled and said: "Prepare, start, the sword must be fast, the sword must be fast, the sword must be fast, cut freely, the thorn in Tibet, the attack will not forget to defend, the defense must be attacked, the sword moves, the sword is like the wind, the line is in the way, the stop is in the place, it is one, and it is done in one go." Well, great, Anan is extraordinary after all, and he learns so fast. "Under the coaxing and frightening of Third Brother Liu, under the guidance of patience, half a month later, Nan Bu finally learned these three tricks, and Third Brother Liu was relieved, okay, Nan Bu is related to the Kunlun Sword Sect, and everything is difficult at the beginning.

Since then, Nan Bu has opened her mind, enhanced her understanding, and entered the glorious hall of the Kunlun Sword School, and her sword and qi have gradually merged with the Kunlun Sword School, and those moves in the future will not be so difficult to learn.

At the beginning, Liu Sange was really worried that Nan Bu would not be able to learn the "Thirteen Styles of the Wordless True Scripture", the Kunlun Sword School pays attention to fate, and there are many seedlings with excellent qualifications, just because of no fate, no matter how hard they work, they can't enter the martial arts threshold of the Kunlun School, and in the end, they had to give up their studies, find another famous teacher, and find another way out. When they arrived in other sects, these seedlings became masters in the sect and became the pillars of the sect, this is fate. Nanbu has the foundation of the South China Sea Sword School, and if you want to learn the swordsmanship of the Kunlun School, of course, it will be more difficult. If Nan doesn't learn the "wordless scriptures", he must return to the South China Sea, otherwise, the number one doctor in the world today will be in danger of following him, and it is very likely that he will be killed like Xiao Lizi.

However, if Nanbu really returns to the South China Sea, I will become a lonely person, and I will become a lonely and lonely man floating in the world, and I don't know if I can stand it that day. If you are always floating alone, it is nothing, and then you are alone after staying and flying, and that kind of loneliness and loneliness is the hardest thing to endure.

Since Nan Bu learned three tricks, Liu Sange's hanging heart can be regarded as letting go. From then on, Nan Bu was qualified to sit alone in the seat of the car to catch the car.

The two talked and laughed, walked and rested, and after half a month, they arrived at Yandang Mountain in Yueqing.

In the evening, they stayed at the Dalongqiu Inn at the foot of the mountain. When dining at the hotel, Liu Sange summoned the guy who ran the hall and asked, "Little brother, let me ask, are there many people surnamed Ouyang in Yandang Mountain?"

The guy said, "Not much. ”

"Where do most people with the surname Ouyang live?"

"Most of them live in Yanhu Town, and I heard that there was a Beijing official in Yanhu Town, who was a big official in Beijing. ”

"Is the Jingguan called Ouyang Yuan?"

"Yes, his name is Ouyang Yuan, I heard that he is a big official in Beijing, he is a household langzhong, and he is a fat shortage, he went to Beijing, he forgot his hometown, and he has not been back a few times. ”

Nan Bu said: "I think it's still good to Yandang Mountain, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, how fun." ”

The guy said: "This grandfather is a newcomer, it's a freshness." You live for a year and a half, this place is full of trees except for the hills, and it doesn't make you sick if you live for a long time. After all, it's not a big city, the lights are bright, the drunken people are obsessed, those who go to the big city, few come back, and some go back to their hometowns, they can't get along. ”

Nan Bu said: "Brother, have you also been to the city?"

The guy said: "Yes, in a large bookstore in Donghe, Hangzhou, the boss is a distant relative, fun, and can make money, and can listen to books every day, and later the relatives who opened the big bookstore are good gamblers, and they lost the big bookstore and their wives, and became beggars, and the villain can't get along, so he goes back to the wild goose." ”

Nan Bu said: "Aren't you very good now, comfortable and happy." ”

The guy said: "Comfortable is comfortable, you can't make a few dollars, be happy, that's called having fun, people can't live a sad life all day long, Yetai, that's called watching fun, in fact, it's very boring, how can the city be so fun, watching plays, listening to stories, shopping, going to restaurants, visiting West Lake, watching women, that's called exciting." The villain needs to have a few dollars, hehe, so that he won't stay stupid in his hometown. ”

Nan Bu said: "The eloquence of the guy is really good. ”

The guy said: "I learned it from the gentleman who spoke in the big bookstore, and if I listen to it a lot, I will naturally be able to learn to say a few words." This is called the red one who is close to Zhu, and the one who is close to ink is black, but in the end, he fell ill. ”

Nan Bu asked: "Sick, what disease?"

The guy smiled and said, "Talker." ”

Third Brother Liu smiled: "No, no, what the guy said makes sense, why not?"

The guy said: "But my wife complains about me, you have no skills except for talking, your wife and children are not comfortable, when you don't catch it, you have to follow you to eat thin soup and drink soup, you have the ability to earn a few dollars to show me, real money is called real ability, the light will blow all over the sky, top a fart, so that your wife and children will suffer with you, you can't eat enough and don't warm up, that's not in vain." It makes sense for the villain to think about it. ”

Nan Bu laughed, stuffed him with a few copper coins, and the guy made a compliment and thanked him repeatedly.

Third Brother Liu asked, "Is Yanhu Town far away from here?"

The man said, "It's not far, it's about thirty miles west." ”

The next day, Liu Sange and Nan Bu drove to Yanhu Town.

It was almost noon, the two of them were in a small hotel, ordered a few drinks and dishes, and called the hotel owner to question, the hotel owner was a rich middle-aged man, with a ruddy face and a kind face, Liu Sange asked: "The shopkeeper, is Ouyang Yuan from Yanhu Town?"

The boss said, "Yes." ”

"He's been a big official in Beijing, right?"

"yes. ”

"It's Tobe Langzhong, isn't it?"

"Uh-huh. ”

"He's living in town now, right?"

The boss looked stunned, a little flustered, and said, "No." ”

"Are there any of his relatives in town?"

"Well, no. ”

"Doesn't he have a relative in town?"

"Well, I don't know. Master, the villain doesn't know anything about his family, so you can go to the town and inquire after you finish your meal. After speaking, he left in a hurry, looking a little flustered.

Nan Bu said: "Brother, this boss is so weird, as if he was afraid of eating him, he didn't speak human words." ”

Third Brother Liu was also puzzled, nodded and said, "There must be a hidden secret inside." ”

After finishing the meal in the small hotel, Liu Sange and Nan Bu came out of the hotel, and arrived at the door of a southern goods store, which sold all local specialties, including tea, black fungus, dried bamboo shoots, dried sweet potatoes, mushrooms and bamboo and rattan products, as well as some root carving works, the boss was a middle-aged man who was blessed, and when he saw two buyers, he greeted him with a smile and said: " Come and come, two guest officers, come in and see, don't miss it, the small shop operates local famous and high-quality products, a wide variety, suitable for all ages, cheap and good, novel packaging, come and come, come in and see, don't buy it doesn't matter, I'm afraid not to come in, miss this time, go home and regret it. ”

Liu Sange and Nan Bu stopped the car at the door and walked into the South Goods Store. Nan Bu asked for a bamboo basket and a small bamboo chair, and the work was really good, Liu Sange asked: "Boss, is there a person named Ouyang Yuan in Yanhu Town?"

The boss's face was full of redness, and he immediately "brushed" it white, and he said, "What are you talking about? Ouyang Yuan?!"

"Yes. Where does he live?"

"I don't know. ”

"He was a Beijing official in Beijing. ”

"I don't know. ”

"Let me ask casually, what are you afraid of?"

"I don't know anymore. Please, two please, the shop is closing. ”

"It's still early, and it's too early to close. ”

"I don't know. ”

The businessman, who was able to speak well and spoke like a river, was so frightened that his face was pale and bloodless, his speech was reversed, his expression was flustered, and he seemed to be able to say only three words: I don't know.

Nan Bu said: "This boss is so weird, he was so scared that he forgot to ask for money." What are you afraid of, hearing Ouyang Yuan's three words, it was like seeing a monster. ”

Third Brother Liu said: "Don't worry, let's go and ask elsewhere." ”

They drove the carriage out of Yanhu Town, and saw an old man sitting under the big camphor tree, lighting a dry tobacco bag, smoking, and a load of firewood next to him.

The two of them drove the car under the tree and jumped out of the car, and Liu Sange asked, "Uncle, are you going east to Dalongyun?"

"Go all the way east, thirty miles, and you will be there. You're here to play in Yandang Mountain, right?"

"It's not. ”

"Visiting relatives and friends?"

"It's not. ”

"Doing business?"

"Not really. ”

"What's that for?"

"I don't dare to say. ”

"I'm not here to be a thief, there's something hard to say. The old man laughed.

Third Brother Liu said: "I'm afraid that if I say it, it will scare you." ”

The old man said: "It seems that there is not much that can scare me, do you know what I did when I was young?"

"If you have been a fast catcher and have seen more of the world, you will be bolder?"

"No, I haven't been a fast catcher, I'm not right, today's fast catching insects, will only catch thieves, gambling, **, **, by the way to scare and scare the people, pick soft persimmons to pinch, run into Jiangyang thieves, run faster than rabbits. ”

Third Brother Liu smiled: "Then what are you doing?"

The old man said: "I am a medicine picker, in order to collect precious medicinal materials, sell at a good price, climb on the cliff all the year round to pick, nine deaths and life things are common, I don't know a fear of the word, now think about it is a little afraid." Guest officer, just say, what are you doing in Yandang Mountain? Your little thing can't scare my old man. ”

Third Brother Liu said: "Okay, then I'll say it." Excuse me, does Ouyang Yuan live in Yanhu Town?"

The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "You have found someone, ask others, and no one dares to answer you." ”

Nan was not surprised, and interjected: "Why?"

"I'm afraid of causing trouble, Ouyang Yuan's case, there are enough people in Zhulian, and it is a rebellion case supervised by the Criminal Department. ”

Third Brother Liu asked, "How do you rebel?"

The old man said: "What is the rebellion, if you want to add the crime, there is no word, saying that you are rebelling is rebellion." Three years ago, it was said that Ouyang Yuan had committed a crime in the capital, and he wanted to arrest Ouyang Yuan's comrades, and one night, the Criminal Department and the state government mobilized a large number of arresters and soldiers to surround Yanhu Town, and Ouyang Yuan's relatives and friends totaled 100 people, all of whom were arrested overnight and escorted to the capital, and all the family properties of the people involved were confiscated into the official**Follower. Now these 100 people are all imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and their lives and deaths are unknown. The people in the town, when they saw that you were asking about this matter, they were naturally frightened for fear of implicating Ouyang Yuan's rebellion, so they avoided it for fear of ruining themselves. ”

Third Brother Liu said: "Rebellion?"

The old man said: "What is the plot, eighty percent are the victims of officialdom intrigue and mutual intrigues." ”

Nan Bu said: "Everyone is afraid, why aren't you afraid?"

The old man said: "What am I afraid of, there is only one single, one person is full, the whole family is not hungry, a grass house, a few thin land, no one can look at it." Besides, you two don't look like a bad person, nor do you look like an informant who catches fast, the old man has no other abilities, these eyes are very pointed, looking at people's heads, and he has never looked at them, he knows that living in the world, he should talk about people when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees ghosts, and in front of the two guest officers, say a few fair words, and don't break the law!"

Third Brother Liu said: "Thank you, uncle, for telling me the truth." The old man, who was friends with Ouyang Yuan, passed by here, but came to visit a friend, since Brother Ouyang had already suffered a lawsuit and was locked up in a prison in Beijing, it seemed that if he wanted to see him, he was going to visit him in Beijing. ”

The old man said again and again: "Two guest officers, this is not to go, you are going, isn't that self-defeating! I won't even let go of my nodding friend, I will be arrested and thrown into prison, my true friend is here, and I will definitely not spare you! Be careful, you are young, you don't know how serious, you are locked in prison, it is not a joke, the hell is like a furnace, and your bones are stewed." ”

Liu Sange said: "Thank you for your care, but you still have to go, even the Longtan Tiger's Den has to go." He took out a piece of silver from his bosom, handed it to the old man with both hands, and said, "Some mustaches are not respectful, I hope the old man will smile." ”

The old man held a silver ingot in both hands, and his face was smiling from ear to ear.

Third Brother Liu looked at Nanbu and said with a wry smile: "It seems that if you want to find Ouyang Yuan, you have to go to Beijing." ”

Nan Bu said: "That's best, I haven't had enough of Beijing yet." ”
