Chapter 87 A boring competition
Fang Xiaodao seemed to be only interested in finding out the murderer, and he was not interested in how Nan Yimu would be dealt with by Chen Han. In fact, it would be a very embarrassing thing for him to continue to meddle in this matter. Because Chen Han and Nan Yimu have a deep master-apprentice relationship after all, if they are influenced by themselves when dealing with it, it will undoubtedly embarrass an old man. On the contrary, if he sold Chen Han a favor, it would be safe for him to leave Zhang Gong in the Miao family.
A few days later, everyone was ready to stop at the door of Miao's house and was about to leave. Miao Xi looked at everyone talking and laughing, and suddenly said to Miao Qingping: "Ping'er, you must remember to send congratulatory gifts to Dongshan on behalf of Brother Chen, and as for the matter of Nan's admiration, you must not leak anything." ”
Miao Qingping nodded and said, "I remember, don't worry, Daddy, there are so many seniors here, how can I not know how to do things." ”
Miao Xi responded, walked up to Fa Yuan and said, "It stands to reason that everyone is a well-known figure in the martial arts. But I, Brother Ye, Yin Sheng, and Fang Shaoxia, they are all impulsive people, so we have to pay more attention to the difficult things in this. ”
Fa Yuan nodded and said: "Miao Daxia, please rest assured, we are just congratulating people on this trip, and nothing else will be touched." ”
Miao Xi nodded, but glanced at Han Zhenqi, who had been silent since arriving at the Miao family, and said, "Master, I think Han Daochang seems to have changed a lot!"
Fa Yuan smiled: "True and false, false and true, maybe what you see now is the real person!"
Miao Xi smiled: "That's another interesting thing." ”
After getting on the road, all the women got into the carriage, and the men seemed to be stronger than the women by riding horses and enduring the sun and wind. In fact, the two have nothing to do with each other, but in the world, who can not be cheesy!
Han Zhenqi has always been this wine gourd, in fact, he often spent his days in the Miao family in drunken dreams and death. He was drunk at other people's homes without any scruples, which made everyone else despise him a little, and Fang Xiaodao was naturally one of them.
Fang Xiaodao saw that he had drunk a lot of wine and shook on the horse, so he chased after him and said, "Senior, pay attention, it's not good to get drunk and lie down immediately." ”
Of course, Han Zhenqi knew that people despised him, so he laughed and said, "If I get drunk, you can go forward and don't pay attention." ”
Fang Xiaodao was a little angry, out of good intentions, why did Han Zhenqi be so ignorant. In fact, if it weren't for Han Zhenqi's righteous words in the Broken Soul Valley, Fang Xiaodao would probably directly think that he was not as good as the notorious thief! At least the thief wouldn't be like him, and he wouldn't even take himself seriously.
Fa Jue slowed down, walked side by side with Han Zhenqi, patted Han Zhenqi on the shoulder and said, "Old Dao, you can naturally play tricks, of course your friends don't care." But Fang Shaoxia has a kind attitude towards you, if you don't know what to do, it will be a bit too much. ”
Han Zhenqi looked at Fajue and sneered: "For decades, I have never found out that you Fajue is such a good person, which is really eye-opening for me!"
Fa Jue thought that he and Han Zhenqi were friends, and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed by Han Zhenqi instead. So he slapped the horse forward, determined not to care about Han Zhenqi anymore.
Han Zhenqi drank more and more, and later he couldn't hold the reins of the horse, staggered, and was far behind everyone.
Fang Xiaodao turned the horse's head upside down and glanced at it, and was hesitating to help, but Fa Jue rushed back and said: "Don't care about him, he has been wandering the rivers and lakes like this for decades, his life is hard and cheap, and he can't die." ”
Fang Xiaodao felt that Fa Jue was not like a monk, he was easily swayed by emotions, and he didn't understand for a while why Fa Yuan thought that he was the most talented person in Futu Temple.
Xu was negligent on the part of the Miao family, and it was also possible that Pei Xudong looked too strong, so he didn't arrange a vehicle for Pei Xudong alone. As a result, after walking for two days, Fang Xiaodao, who couldn't stand it, found a big car without a carport and asked Pei Xudong to take the car. But after having a car, Fang Xiaodao didn't even want to ride a horse anymore, so he lay on the car all day long, and let Ye Ci's men act as coachmen. On the carriage, Pei Xudong was sitting on a hat, Fang Xiaodao was lying on it, looking at the sky and saying a few words from time to time.
On this day, Fang Xiaodao was drowsy in the car, and suddenly a burst of singing woke him up. When I looked up, I saw an old man driving an ox cart, seemingly carefree, and there was no lack of satisfaction in comfort.
Although Fang Xiaodao listened to the songs he sang, it was difficult to get into the elegant hall, but it was better to be leisurely. So he slowed down the coachman, drove with the ox cart, and asked, "Where are you going, old man?"
The old man said: "Can't you see that I'm going to the front?"
Fang Xiaodao said with a smile: "Of course you go to the front, if you go to the back, you will be in the opposite direction." ”
The old man said: "Since you can see it, it's good, it is precisely because I am moving forward that I am a fellow traveler." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "It's not all the same direction is the same traveler, right?"
The old man smiled: "As long as the direction is the same, no matter whether you walk Yangguan Avenue or the sheep intestine trail, or even thorns, but it is always the same way." Since everyone is on the same path, how can they not be fellow travelers!"
Fang Xiaodao felt that this old man seemed to be very good at sophistry. So he said with great interest: "In this case, as long as the purpose of righteousness and conspiracies is the same, they are all different paths?"
The old man's face was a little dark, as if he was determined to ignore Fang Xiaodao, so he drove the ox cart slower and slower. But Fang Xiaodao didn't seem to want to let him go, so he asked the coachman to slow down, and then smiled: "Old man, what do you think?"
The old man sneered: "My old man has traveled all over the world, and I have never met such a poor and boring person as you. ”
Yin Sheng saw that Fang Xiaodao and Pei Xudong's carriage slowed down, turned the horse's head and chased after him, "Why slow down." As he spoke, he glanced at the old man, suddenly patted his horse to make way for the old man, and saluted respectfully: "Senior Yin Sheng, I have seen Huo Daochang." ”
Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, looked at Pei Xudong, and saw Pei Xudong smile a little sinisterly: "This is the Water Moon Observation Master, Huo Yuncang Huo Dao Chief." ”
Fang Xiaodao felt that he was a little careless in making friends, and he didn't know how to offend Pei Xudong, and he actually saw that he had offended Huo Yuncang. Everyone on the rivers and lakes knows that Huo Yuncang is a person who is determined to cultivate himself. There is no revenge for offending him, but the old man is a lot of age and a respected Taoist priest, so he is a little uneasy about being disrespectful to him.
Huo Yuncang said with a smile: "It turned out to be the Yin Hall Master of the Heshou Gang, since your solo exhibition gang leader came to our view, it has been many years!"
Yin Sheng said: "The Taoist has a good memory, and he still remembers it." ”
Huo Yuncang said: "A hero like Hall Master Yin is unforgettable! But some people want to forget it after seeing it, but they are afraid that they will forget it too slowly." ”
Some people are of course Fang Xiaodao, and Huo Yuncang will not be very willing to remember today's verbal loss.
Fang Xiaodao said helplessly: "Brother Pei, you really hurt me!"
Pei Xudong smiled: "Don't be afraid, your Fang Xiaodao is not even afraid of thousands of people, what else is there to fear." ”
Huo Yuncang turned his head suddenly, staring at Fang Xiaodao like an eagle falcon, and then said, "You are Fang Xiaodao?"
Fang Xiaodao was stared at by him very uncomfortable, nodded and said suspiciously: "I am, what advice do seniors have." ”
Huo Yuncang said: "Senior Sister Lin has all kinds of praise for you, when you see you today, it's better to be famous than to meet!"
Fang Xiaodao naturally guessed that Senior Sister Lin was talking about Lin Caixia, but he had no intersection with Lin Caixia, and he didn't expect that Lin Caixia would praise herself in Huo Yuncang's ear. So he said helplessly: "The kid is indeed not good, but he has no disrespect for his predecessors just now, and I ask my seniors to forgive me." ”
Huo Yuncang shook his head and said, "You know my identity and feel guilty for being ruthless, so if I am just an ordinary old man, can I not respect the elderly?"
Fang Xiaodao felt that this old boy was unforgiving, and he was suspected of deliberately raising the bar. So he said solemnly: "Senior, although I know that you are highly respected, I will not retract what I just said. Besides, my predecessors are known to be virtuous, so I have to ask for advice from the talents. ”
Huo Yuncang nodded and said, "Very good, this is very good." If you find out that I am just a name, then you should not respect me. Although I didn't dare to advise, I secretly thought that Fang Shaoxia's actions three years ago were worthy of praise from the world. And worthy of chivalry, when it is a real chivalrous man. ”
Fang Xiaodao felt that he didn't answer what he asked, obviously he had lost his words, and he couldn't argue for a while. Fang Xiaodao didn't continue to embarrass him, but said with a smile: "The predecessor has a reputation, the kid just does it from his heart, and he doesn't understand many truths. ”
Huo Yuncang said: "Those who understand the truth more than you may not be better than you, if you have the right mind, then it doesn't hurt to do whatever you want." ”
Fang Xiaodao was vaguely polite, and wanted him to discuss with the two monks in front of him. Perhaps the words of Buddhism and Taoism are more worthy of exchange.
Sure enough, when he knew that there were Fa Yuan and Fa Jue in front of him, he immediately had to go and reminisce about the past. As a result, two monks and a Taoist priest went to the rear, but Fang Xiaodao took the opportunity to leave and went to the front to sleep.
When they arrived near the Dongshan faction, everyone saw a lot of martial arts people who rushed to the Dongshan faction. Not all of them may be able to become guests of honor in the Dongshan faction, but their enthusiasm for rushing to give gifts has not been slackened at all because they have not been invited. The Dongshan faction is now powerful, and I don't know how many people want to attach to it, and even as long as they give gifts, they feel that they have a relationship.
The nearby market was overcrowded, and the last time there was such a sensation in the martial arts was when it attacked the Valley of Broken Souls. Now that the son of the head of the Dongshan faction has become a parent, he can cause such a big sensation, and I have to say that the Dongshan faction should be invincible in the world.
Fang Xiaodao heard a rumor that Lu Hanting invited Zong Hangyao to fight after Lu Shaoxiang got married. It is not clear whether the news is true or not, but in the duel between these two people, it must be the pinnacle battle of today's martial arts.
Huo Yuncang's old ox cart was really not fast, and as a result, everyone walked slower. The few people who like to join in the fun really can't bear it, and Ye Cibei is already impatient, so everyone quickly whips up, and soon came to the vicinity of the Dongshan faction. Then, Fang Xiaodao and Yin Sheng thought that Ye Cici was noticed everywhere he went, so they separated from Ye Cici again.
The two of them walked down the street leisurely, looking at all kinds of people, all the way like two country boys who came out to see the world. They really managed not to attract attention, because even the weapons were wrapped up and carried on their backs. And recently, this kind of person walking around with weapons on his back is not uncommon at all.
Fang Xiaodao stared at the various beads on a stall and began to think, whether to buy one or two, the same or different. Suddenly interrupted by Yin Sheng, Yin Sheng pulled his sleeve and said, "Second brother, look at the nun." ”
Fang Xiaodao felt a sense of embarrassment in his heart, it's not that he hasn't seen a nun, as for making a fuss on the street!
Looking in the direction Yin Sheng pointed out, I saw an extraordinarily pretty nun standing in the middle of the street where people shuttled, as if she had fallen into a kind of psychedelia, and she did not move. A pair of eyes that are not stained with red dust, as if they have not seen anything, and they seem to have a full view of the whole street.
Fang Xiaodao looked at her bald head, and then said to Yin Sheng: "Big brother, you are well-informed, you may be able to see her origin?"
Yin Sheng said with a smile: "There are countless bhikshunis in the world, but when it comes to beauty, no one in the martial arts can compete with Lihuan Shitai. ”
Fang Xiaodao said helplessly: "You'd better figure out whether it's a battle or a fight." She is a monk, but the world is bowing down under her robe, do you want to kiss other people's shoes shamelessly?"
Yin Sheng looked at Fang Xiaodao and said, "It's not me, I'm just hearsay." Besides, how could I have such a non-sensical thought about a senior. ”
Fang Xiaodao said curiously: "But I don't think she will be more than thirty years old, even if she has the ability to stay beautiful, she shouldn't be more than thirty-five!"
Yin Sheng shook his head and said: "It's a big mistake, you just need to think about the fact that she and Zong Hangyao have lived and died together, and you should understand that she is definitely a senior." ”
Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment and said, "Sect senior, what is this inexplicable thing?"
Yin Sheng said: "Don't ask me, but most of the martial arts seniors who are old and lonely have an unbearable past." In the martial arts, there are so many such things that there are innumerable, so there is no need for you and me to delve into them. ”
Fang Xiaodao thought this statement was funny, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the martial arts is actually a place where mandarin ducks fly separately, that is really a mistake." ”
Yin Sheng said: "Not really. Most of them are this kind of people, most of them are talented, have excellent martial arts, and are also infatuated. Think about it, if the martial arts are mediocre and the people are not very good, how can there be so much love. If you pay more attention and change another one without one, how can you be lonely and old age!"
Fang Xiaodao nodded very seriously and said, "It seems that there is a serious reason for the lack of life and the shortness of breath of heroes. After speaking, he looked at Yin Sheng and said word by word: "I have seen Bai Yunxiao." ”
Yin Sheng looked back in surprise and said, "Oh, how is he?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "Very good, besides, his woman is also very good, and the child is also very beautiful." ”
Yin Sheng's expression darkened, and he suddenly reacted and patted Fang Xiaodao's shoulder heavily and said, "Why do you even inquire about your eldest brother's bad luck, what is your intention!"
Fang Xiaodao said: "If you really let it go, it will be just an old affair." But you still say it's a bad thing, and it seems that you still can't extricate yourself!"
Yin Sheng turned his head upside down, as if he didn't want Fang Xiaodao to see his expression, and said after a while: "Since you see the tavern, let's drink it." ”
Fang Xiaodao said happily: "Drink, you must drink." ”
The two of them walked to the restaurant, sat down by the window and began to drink. After a while, Fang Xiaodao pointed outside and said, "What do you say she is going to do, now on the street, I don't know that there will be countless lustful people rapping?"
Yin Sheng said: "I think it's hard to say, Mrs. Lihuan is a very strange person. All of this is due to Zong Hangyao's negative man, otherwise, she still has a green silk hand. Even though he is stained with red dust, he must not be happy. ”
Fang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "I see that she is waiting for someone." ”
Yin Sheng said: "Oh, who are you waiting for?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "As long as you don't get drunk and don't get bored and leave, you will definitely be able to see it." ”
Yin Sheng smiled: "Okay, then today's wine is called long wine." May people be long, and wine in the cup. ”
Fang Xiaodao is no longer surprised that he always takes a name when he drinks, but he doesn't know that the stuffy wine he drinks alone also has a name.
The two of them didn't drink fast, as if they were bored enough to compete with a strange teacher. In this way, chatting and moistening their throats with wine, the two of them waited until the end of the day.
At this time, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and the two finally saw what was going on. It turns out that the people who are waiting for Li Huan have always been there, and they are also as bored as they are. The man sat in the teahouse, and he didn't know whether there was tea in the teapot, and he didn't move there. Fang Xiaodao subconsciously thought that it was Zong Hangyao, but after a closer look, it was clearly a woman in disguise.
Fang Xiaodao and Yin Sheng looked at each other, what a lot of hatred and how deep the relationship must be, so that this master wife actually stood on the street and stared at it for almost two hours. In fact, she probably didn't have to be staring for more than two hours. Originally, they thought they were bored enough, but they didn't expect someone to be more boring than themselves. If there is a grievance, he does not solve it quickly, but sits down to drink a cup of tea and entertain the other party.
After waiting for a moment or so, Fang Xiaodao and Yin Sheng finally found that they had failed in the matter of boredom. So, they decided to go down and see what kind of boring characters were going to beat them.
The two of them got out of the restaurant and went straight to the tea shop, and just walked to the front of the tea shop, the man in the tea shop stood up, stared at the two and said, "Get out." ”
It turned out to be a young and beautiful little nun, although she wore a hat, but the two of them had good eyesight, and they could see that she had no hair. As a dignified seven-foot man, how can he casually deal with a woman, just get out of the way! So, the two of them immediately stood against the wall on the side of the tea shop, looking like the world is letting you go, anyway, I don't stand in your way.
After the little nun walked out, Lihuan finally moved. After walking less than ten steps, the little nun turned around and said, "Can't you let me go, I just don't want to die alone with you, and there's nothing wrong with that." ”
Li Huan shook his head and said: "It's not your fault, but if you are a moth to the fire, you will definitely set yourself on fire." ”
The little nun was very impatient, but she probably also knew that a person who could stare at her for two hours in the crowd would not give up easily. Therefore, no matter where she goes, Lihuan may be behind her.
The little nun suddenly crouched on the ground and sobbed quietly. Li Huan walked over, stroked the little nun's back and said: "Child, how could I lie to you, the love in this world is the most hurtful, if you want not to be sad, the only way is the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha." "This should be a matter of experience, after all, he must have been injured a lot by Zong Hangyao.
The little nun suddenly hugged Lihuan's thighs and sobbed: "Mother, I just want to ask him why, there is nothing else to think about, you just let me go!"
Li Huan let out a sigh and said, "Alas, you are indeed as stupid as me. Most of the time there is no reason for this kind of thing, because no reason can make you accept it calmly. ”
Fang Xiaodao and Yin Sheng didn't feel lively at all now, and they wanted to leave quickly. Because the two nuns were mother and daughter, and they had the misfortune to hear about it. There are things in this world that should be listened to, and things that should not be heard. And it's better that this matter involves other people's secrets, and it is better not to hear about it! It is okay to make up for the fun, but they themselves feel that they are obscene when they hear about this kind of secret and repugnant thing.
At that moment, the two of them were ready to leave quietly, silently hoping that Lihuan and her daughter hadn't cared about what they looked like. However, when the two of them had just turned the corner and breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly a female voice behind them shouted: "Two of you stay!"
Fang Xiaodao and Yin Sheng stopped and glanced at each other, seeing regret in each other's eyes.
