Text Chapter 25 Five Lakes and Nine Ghosts

The three of them walked for a while, Ran Zhu walked out of it, and when he saw Pei Xudong, he was surprised and said, "Xudong, why are you here?"

Pei Xudong said: "Friends are in trouble, you can't help but come!"

Ran Zhu glanced at Fang Xiaodao and Zhao Jie behind him and said, "Oh, we will have this Fang Shaoxia, but this girl is faceless." ”

Pei Xudong said: "This is the Shuangjiang Woman, Zhao Jie." ”

Zhao Jie arched her hand to Ran Zhu and said, "I've seen Ran Nuxia." ”

Ran Zhu smiled: "What a beautiful girl, I like it when I see it." ”

Zhao Jie's face didn't have much joy, probably a woman like her who can be called a heroine prefers a more manly courtesy.

Pei Xudong said: "Auntie, uncle is here?"

Ran Zhu said helplessly: "Hey, speaking of which, it was the news brought by this Fang Shaoxia, but as a result, Ping'er disappeared." Your uncle was going to catch up and find someone, but the enemy is being broken right now, so it's delayed, and this will be discussed with everyone!"

Fang Xiaodao could hear that he was blaming himself for this, and Pei Xudong asked if Fu Yihui was there. only need to answer yes or no, as soon as they met, they said that Fu Yanping was missing because of the news she brought, this is not to blame, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

Fang Xiaodao said: "So, that's really sorry, I shouldn't talk too much." ”

In fact, the Four Seas Gang has been looking for two thieves for many years, but they were told by Fang Xiaodao, which should have been thanked. It's just that Ran Zhu felt that Fu Yanping would definitely take revenge alone, and it was not very safe, so she was a little worried.

Ran Zhu said: "Where, I was about to thank Fang Shaoxia, and Miao Daxia and Miss Miao had already gone to Baihumen, and my unsuccessful son also went, so it would be okay to come." ”

Pei Xudong probably guessed it, but if he couldn't guess it, it was inconvenient to ask now, so he changed the topic and said, "When will my uncle come back?"

Ran Zhu said: "I don't know, since you're here, you can stay, let's go, let's go in!"

After entering, everyone sat down, and Ran Zhu said: "Fang Shaoxia didn't say goodbye, why did he turn back now?"

Pei Xudong said: "I don't know who said that the boning knife of the Yin Killing Ghost was in Fang Shaoxia's hand, and as a result, a group of people wanted to find him unlucky." Therefore, the little nephew intercepted him from the road and brought him back, hoping that his aunt could help him and help Fang Shaoxia clear up his grievances!"

Ran Zhu looked a little embarrassed, looked at Fang Xiaodao and said, "That knife, is it really not in your hand?"

Fang Xiaodao felt ridiculous, and said with a wry smile: "I'm alone, with the Dragon's Spine Sword and the Boning Knife, Lady Ran or cut the knife under the handle to see if I swallow it." ”

Pei Xudong felt that something was unusual, how could this matter still be related to the dragon's spine sword.

Ran Zhu's face was a little ugly, and naturally he could hear Fang Xiaodao's irony.

Fang Xiaodao stood up and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Pei Gongzi is an ancient and warm-hearted person, and he is very admired in the future. It's just that it's not that you don't accept your favor, but that you're born to criticize you, and that's it. ”

Pei Xudong hurriedly stood up and said: "No, this matter must be taken care of, you have a great favor to me, if I don't know how to repay the favor, wouldn't I be ungrateful?"

Fang Xiaodao said: "Don't dare, I didn't move that senior lightly, how dare I take credit." ”

Pei Xudong said: "Whether it succeeds or not, you are kind to me, and I will do my best to deal with this matter." ”

Zhao Jie was a little unaccustomed to Ran Zhu's domineering, stood up and said, "Well, since others are in trouble, we ourselves will not be helpless." Fang Shaoxia, Zhao Jie is willing to advance and retreat with you to protect the last bit of chivalrous courage in this martial arts. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Don't dare, I don't dare to be brave and brave, but I still know some kindness in being a man." My grandfather is Qin Bugui, this matter is not pleasing in the rivers and lakes, it is only strange, I can't understand the rivers and lakes. If one day I am like my grandfather, like Ye Ciming, I can only blame myself for not learning to follow the crowd. ”

Pei Xudong said: "Fang Shaoxia, I know that you have been calculated repeatedly, and you have lost trust in the people in the martial arts. But Pei Mou wants to say something, I will definitely help you in this matter, even if there are many enemies, I will never frown. ”

The three of them spoke from their hearts and were impassioned, but Ran Zhu may not be moved. Because in her eyes, Fang Xiaodao's benevolence and righteousness have damaged the face of the Four Seas Gang. He rescued the Yin Killing Ghost from Fu Yanping, and told everyone that killing people is not too much, but it seems that the people of the Four Seas Gang do not understand, and even a person who is about to die will be humiliated. In fact, Fu Yanping is a hard-working woman, this matter is understandable, but Ran Zhu feels that Fang Xiaodao is doing too much.

Fang Xiaodao said: "Pei Gongzi, Zhao Nuxia, don't worry, I don't want to leave." I just want to go out for a walk, my eldest brother Yin Sheng is probably already here, if I can find it, wouldn't there be another master of helping?"

Zhao Jie said: "Yin Sheng is indeed a master with extraordinary strength. If you see him, tell him, I've been fascinated by him for a long time, and I'd love to see the power of the Immersion Gold Knife. ”

Fang Xiaodao felt that it was not good to agree too happily, and looked at Pei Xudong, Pei Xudong didn't seem to care, and said with a smile: "That's good, I'm still afraid that you will leave! Zhao Nuxia really likes to compete with masters, even if she is below, she doesn't know each other." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "I must bring it." What he didn't know was that Zhao Jie liked to find a master to compete most on weekdays, and Pei Xudong had long been accustomed to it. So I thought that when he said this, Pei Xudong might be a little uncomfortable.

Ran Zhu didn't talk to Fang Xiaodao again from beginning to end, since everyone didn't like each other, why pretend to be polite, it's good to be calm.

Fang Xiaodao left the camp of the Four Seas Gang, knowing that many people were staring at him, but he still wandered leisurely at first. He asked himself if he was not afraid of heaven and earth, but he must have the courage.

As he was walking, a person who had a relationship with him walked over, but Fang Xiaodao was really uncomfortable.

This person is from the Heqing faction, the daimyo Sun Yan, an extremely obsessive swordsman. In fact, his swordsmanship has already obtained three flavors, but he attaches too much importance to the sword in his hand, and he has practiced the swordsmanship of the Heqing faction a little off.

If you can't provoke it, then hide, Fang Xiaodao seemed to make an inadvertent turn, wanting to bypass Sun Yan.

Sun Yan chased after him and shouted, "Stay." ”

Fang Xiaodao glanced at him stubbornly and said, "It turned out to be Sun Shaoxia, don't come to harm, right?"

Sun Yan still said coldly: "I'm not looking for trouble with you, I just want to ask you if you have killed yin and ghosts." Everyone always says it's you, but I don't believe it, if you really want treasures, you don't have to attract attention during the day, even if Fu Yanping kills him, the knife is still there, you can steal it whenever you want. ”

Fang Xiaodao was a little surprised, and finally met someone who understood, although he was not very kind to him.

Fang Xiaodao said: "I said no, do you believe it?"

Sun Yan said: "I believe it." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Oh, why don't others believe me, but you believe me?"

Sun Yan said: "Because you don't love your own sword, if a swordsman doesn't even love his own sword, he must be a chic and free person, he can't be exhausted in swordsmanship, and he won't be obsessed with fame and fortune." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "If you don't love your own sword, you may just be greedy for money!"

Sun Yan said: "This is the intuition of a swordsman, from the first time I saw you, I knew that you were a good swordsman. A good swordsman does not love his sword, and I believe that such a person is even less likely to be greedy for money. The sword in the swordsman's hand is the swordsman's everything, but money is just something outside the body. ”

Fang Xiaodao couldn't help but feel a little touched when he heard what he said, there are thousands of avenues in this world, but they always go the same way. If a person sticks to his own morality, he will have his own views on the rights and wrongs of the world, although he looks at problems from different angles, but the result is always the same end.

Fang Xiaodao said with a smile: "Sun Shaoxia will teach you a lesson in the next one, and you will benefit a lot!"

Sun Yan said: "I want to fight with you." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Is it here, do you see how many people are around, can you compete?"

Sun Yan said: "So, in order to have a good fight with you, your matter must be solved first." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "I hope so, I will definitely ask for advice when the time comes." ”

Sun Yan said: "There is a person, do you want to see it?"

Fang Xiaodao said: "Who?"

Sun Yan said: "Family teacher Zhang Pingshi. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Zhang Daxia has never visited him, it's really a pity, but I don't know if it will disturb him." ”

Sun Yan said: "He just said that if Fang Xiaodao is alone, you invite him to come." ”

Fang Xiaodao was puzzled: "This, isn't Zhang Daxia asking for trouble for himself?"

Sun Yan said: "If there is still one sect left in the martial arts that upholds chivalrous righteousness, it may be our Heqing faction." ”

Sun Yan dared to say this with confidence, because the matter between Ye Yunqiao and Hua Zhengsong has only passed thirty years, and no one dares to forget it.

Since people can invite each other chivalrously, they have to give them a little face, if they don't go, they will be a little ignorant. Fang Xiaodao said: "Then, there must be Lao Sun Shaoxia to introduce you." ”

Sun Yan said: "You're welcome, please here." ”

Zhang Pingshi wanted to exchange the Yin Killing Ghost for Ke Weiqing, Ke Weiqing was a nephew in his eyes after all, and he was also a nephew who had not had a good time for decades. But whoever can find the Yin Slayer Ghost will be killed, this is something he didn't expect. In fact, if it weren't for the Yin Killer Ghost Tuo who came out to fight alone, he would not have this kind of opportunity. Now that Ke Weiqing has not been rescued, Zhang Pingshi is busy in vain. It stands to reason that he should be the most angry person when the Yin Slayer Ghost was killed, but he accepted Fang Xiaodao with a chivalrous heart.

Fang Xiaodao saw Zhang Pingshi up close for the first time, he was less chic and free than Kuang Teng, and a little less superior than Fu Yihui, looking like a country man.

The years are like knives, and a little boy in the martial arts era is now engraved with vicissitudes on his face. Seeing Fang Xiaodao walk in, although he was not high-spirited, he was handsome and chic. He was in a trance, remembering not only his own youth, but also the youth of many people related to him, as well as those who were young.

Fang Xiaodao arched his hand and said: "Junior Fang Xiaodao, I have seen Zhang Daxia." ”

Zhang Pingshi came back to his senses and said, "You are Fang Xiaodao, what a young man!"

Fang Xiaodao felt that what he said was unreasonable, and he didn't know what he meant, so he didn't know how to reply for a while. Lately, he has been feeling more and more that he is not good at words.

Fang Xiaodao said: "I have heard the name of my predecessors for a long time, and it is really a blessing to see it today!"

Zhang Pingshi was a little unhappy and said: "Don't say this kind of polite words that make people's teeth ache." ”

Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, and Sun Yan said: "Master, when Fang Shaoxia met for the first time, he naturally had some politeness, and that was also his admiration for you, Master." ”

Zhang Pingshi said: "You don't need to admire, as long as you can afford it, you can say politely, you can't be hypocritical." ”

How did Fang Xiaodao know that Zhang Pingshi was a mean person in the eyes of others on weekdays, and he was always calculating not enough energy. Moreover, rumors about the discord between Zhang Pingshi and Ke Weiqing are not uncommon in the rivers and lakes, and some people even think that it is a miracle that Ke Weiqing was arrested, and he can come.

Fang Xiaodao said uncomfortably: "Yes, the seniors are right." ”

Zhang Pingshi said: "You sympathized with a demon back then, did you ever think that there would be today?"

Fang Xiaodao said: "Senior, God has the virtue of a good life, no matter whether he sympathizes or not, there is no reason to see a person being humiliated in every way before he dies! Everyone comes here to say that it is to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and you can't do things like a group of more demons to torture and kill another group of demons!"

Zhang Pingshi said: "This is your nature is kind, and it is not necessarily heroic and chivalrous, in order to get rid of the devil, it is to eat its flesh raw, and it cannot be said that it is not chivalrous." ”

Fang Xiaodao said with a smile: "The seniors are reasonable. ”

Zhang Pingshi said: "But you know that everyone here is suspicious of you, but you can come with dignity, which is a bit heroic." ”

Fang Xiaodao said with a smile: "It's not that you are not afraid, but that you have friends to help you on the road, and you have to clarify the misunderstanding in front of all the heroes." ”

Zhang Pingshi nodded and said, "You are above board." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Senior, I praised it." ”

When Yin Sheng had already come, Fang Xiaodao had already left, and he just missed it.

In terms of martial arts and knowledge, Chen Han is the top, but chasing people sometimes depends on fate. The two of them chased all the way for several days, asking around, and they probably knew Huo Fengcheng's whereabouts, but they hadn't met them back then. In fact, at the beginning, they didn't expect Huo Fengcheng to go to the Broken Soul Valley, and they usually did unsightly things, who didn't run to a place where others couldn't find them! As a result, the two of them had no clue after looking for a few days, so they had to go to the broker in the martial arts to inquire about the news, only to find out that they had been tricked by Huo Fengcheng.

Yin Sheng knew that after Fang Xiaodao left, he immediately went to look for it, but he still didn't find it.

In a roadside tea stall, Yin Sheng and Chen Han sat at a table. At this time, a group of people came, and they also sat down to rest.

These people sighed, and after a while they began to talk about it.

I only heard a middle-aged man with a very high forehead: "I saw that I found someone, but I just slipped away, I was really unwilling!"

A person walking one high and one low next to him echoed: "Who said no, what a great opportunity we missed, and when it falls into the hands of those big sects, where is our chance." ”

Chen Han had extraordinary knowledge in the early years of mixing in the rivers and lakes, and immediately recognized these people, this person with a high forehead and a surname Gao, was a one-legged thief when he was young. In recent years, he has mixed up with some people from three religions and nine streams, and it has become a gang that many people in the martial arts despise, called "Five Lakes and Nine Ghosts". The most unhappy thing about this name should be the Four Seas Gang, but the Four Seas Gang prides itself on being decent and decent, and it is not easy to care.

Five lakes and nine ghosts, as the name suggests, are nine people, ghosts and demons are different, people on the rivers and lakes talk about demons, it must be strong martial arts, killing countless people and evil. But ghosts generally talk about this kind of obscene people who don't do good deeds, but they make small fights all day long. If you want to say that it is ghosts, these people are really similar. They all look so good that people can't forget them at a glance, and they also behave disgracefully. Just like Yin Sheng and Chen Han, when they entered the tea shed, they asked for tea in a proper manner, and politely asked the store to prepare food. And these five lakes and nine ghosts, as soon as they came in, they were noisy, and they were even more rude to the store.

The nine people of the Five Lakes and Nine Ghosts, the most famous is the one with the high forehead before, called Gao Haixiong. Secondly, one of the fat men who made the big ring knife was the second when he joined the gang that year, and it was called Huang Guang. The one who echoed Gao Haixiong just now is called Hou Yuxuan, although he was born with a disability, but his martial arts are very unique. Except for these three people, the others are really just not in the stream, and it is a shame that they dare to make up enough nine people.

Yin Sheng took the teacup and glanced at the back with his spare eyes, but it was Huang Guang who saw it, because he was a knife user, so the first thing he wanted to see was the person holding the knife.

Gao Haixiong said: "Now there is only a chance, although he is now in the Broken Soul Valley, but everyone wants to find trouble with him, and he won't stay long." Only when he comes out, we will be cut off halfway, and we will not be allowed to do it at that time!"

Everyone else was good, but a person who was short and looked like a dwarf didn't think so, shook his head and said: "I don't think so, then Pei Xudong has a wide range of connections, even if no one believes it, I'm afraid that he can keep Fang Xiaodao." There are too few of us, and if we have a grudge against a gang from all over the world, and the old and new grudges are counted together, we will be in big trouble. ”

Yin Sheng was suddenly startled, and when he was about to stand up, Chen Han shook his head at him, telling him to calm down for a while and listen to it.

This dwarf is nicknamed Tie Danzi, but in fact, his surname is Tie Yun Han, and his name sounds very atmospheric, but he is a short man. Danzi is a pun, one is to say that his most powerful means is to use iron marble, and the other is to say that others are very small, like marbles.

Huang Guanghun didn't care and said: "So what, how can the nine of us be incompetent, he has a lot of people in the world, can he still protect Fang Xiaodao for a lifetime, as long as he is alone, then what is there to fear." ”

Hou Yuxuan said: "That's right, we don't have to get along with the Four Seas Gang. Besides, the Four Seas Gang may not be willing to help Fang Xiaodao, but I'm afraid that the Four Seas Gang will also look for his bad luck!"

Gao Haixiong said: "And listen to me, we can't wait now, let's go to find Fang Xiaodao, we may not do it, just do it." We don't have to argue with anyone about that thing. ”

Hou Yuxuan said: "This thing is done faster, not slowly, if he can leave the Broken Soul Valley, it will naturally be excellent, but if he doesn't leave, we can't let others snatch it away without doing anything." ”

Yin Sheng was a little unbearable, these people were discussing what to do to their second brother, how could they sit idly by. Yin Sheng pinched the handle of the knife, but Chen Han shook his head at him. Yin Sheng was a little puzzled, at this time, why should he endure it anymore.
