Chapter 123: Encountering a Strange Man in a Deserted Village in the Valley (2)

Shen Guhong was about to make a move, but he suddenly saw that the old man's face did not change at all in the face of this gang of bandits, not only that, but there was also a look of banter in his eyes. So he knew that this old man was definitely not simple. It's just that judging from his appearance alone, the old man's beard has turned gray, his face is bronzed, with some wrinkles, and he doesn't look old. Those eyes were even more ordinary, but the more ordinary they were, the more unfathomable Shen Guhong felt. Because he knows that when a person reaches the state of returning to the basics, he is not much different from ordinary people. It's just that such a person is the most terrifying existence, and I'm afraid that the ghost-faced Yama has not yet reached the realm of returning to the basics.

"There is only one rabbit, and for you is one or two bites per person, but for the little old man he can eat for a day. So the rabbit won't give it to you. The old man had a smile on his lips, and there was no fear at all.

"Hmph, you can eat a few bites of the uncle, bring it to the uncle!" The man pounced on the old man, but he threw himself on the ground, like a vicious dog snatching.

Shen Guhong's pupils shrank slightly, this old body method is weird, I'm afraid it's on par with the ghost-faced Yama, and the internal strength cultivation is so high, I don't know how many people in the world can reach it?

"You old man can do tricks, and when Lao Tzu chops off your hands, the tricks won't work. His grandmother, your rabbit uncle, I'm going to decide!" the man jumped up, waved his big knife, and slashed at the old man.

The old man just turned around and let go of the man again.

Scarface, who was riding on horseback, looked at the man with the blindfold and said, "This old man doesn't seem to be simple, let's do our work." โ€

The man wearing the blindfold said: "Yes, those who have to take the wide road ahead, they will not come up to this valley, let's go down!"

The blindfolded man called the man back and led the people down. They thought that no one heard their conversation and laughter, but they didn't know that the old man and Shen Guhong were all listening to it in their hearts. The old man looked at the dilapidated house where Shen Guhong was and said, "The friends in the house are coming out, right?

Shen Guhong knew that he could hide from all the bandits outside, but he couldn't hide from this old man, so he walked out of the broken door, hugged his fist at the old man, and said, "Under Shen Guhong, I have seen my predecessors!"

The old man's eyes flashed slightly: "Do you know the little old man?"

Shen Guhong shook his head: "First meeting." โ€

When the old man heard this, he smiled softly and said, "Interesting, what an interesting young man!"

Shen Guhong smiled: "I don't know where it's interesting?"

The old man smiled: "Naturally, you are talking interestingly, let's go and see what good things these people have to do." โ€

Shen Guhong said: "The predecessor has such a Yaxing, how dare the kid not accompany him?"

The old man laughed, Shen Guhong also smiled, and the two walked out of the valley along the village path, but they saw that the group of bandits was blocked in front, and someone was blocking behind, and the caravan was caught in the middle, in a dilemma.

The old man took out the arrows from the quiver, and the five arrows were put on the string at the same time, and the sound of the sound came out, and suddenly five people fell off their horses.

Seeing this, Shen Guhong couldn't help but be stunned, he had practiced for nearly ten years, but he could only achieve five arrows in a row, but they all hit the same fixed target. It's easy to do with five arrows at once, but he can't do it if the five arrows each hit five moving targets, not to mention that those people are riding back and forth on their backs, and they are still moving targets.

Those bandits looked backwards and saw Shen Guhong and the two standing on a high place, they were all furious, and immediately ordered five or six men to come up on horseback, obviously to deal with Shen Guhong and the old man.

The old man took the bow and pulled the arrows again, but this time it was six arrows in unison, shooting six people who were rushing, to Shen Guhong's horror, it was still all six arrows, and the time of the arrows was basically the same. Shen Guhong only realized at this time that the archery skills he was proud of were simply the difference between a baby and an adult compared to this old man.

The scarred man and the blindfolded man looked back and saw that the six of them had fallen, so they immediately turned their hearts sideways and crossed their horses and the caravan, intending to kill and fish in troubled waters. But his idea was wrong, the old man took the arrow again, and the arrows came out one after another, and the scar man and the man with the blindfold were hit by arrows and fell off the horse one after another, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

When the people in the caravan saw this, they were all overjoyed, and immediately ordered their men to hurriedly run to the front, intending to shake off the bandits blocking behind.

Those bandits who were blocking behind were not stupid, and when they saw the scarred man and the blindfolded man fall off their horses, they dared to come forward to send them to death?

"If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would dare to believe that there was such a miracle in the world, and the archery skills of the predecessors had opened the boy's eyes. Shen Guhong hugged his fists.

The old man just smiled softly and said, "What kind of magic skill, it's just a few more days of hunting in the mountains, and the bow and arrow are easy to use." โ€

Shen Guhong sighed and said, "If your archery skills are only used for hunting, the kid really has no face to use a bow and arrow anymore." โ€

When the old man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "You also use bows and arrows? Could it be that the bows and arrows in your dark iron box are the ones in your dark iron box? โ€ใ€

Shen Guhong nodded: "The bow is a spirit treasure bow, and the arrow is a wind-chasing arrow, but these two treasures are in the hands of the juniors, but they are covered with dust!"

The old man smiled and said, "Let's go, my place is not far away, let's roast this rabbit tonight." โ€

Shen Guhong naturally wouldn't suspect that the old man had any purpose, because when he reached the realm of the old man, he didn't have anything to do, even if the old man insisted on taking something from him, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to keep it.

The two men walked five or six miles through the valley, and came to a deciduous forest, and when they walked a little further, they saw a small bridge in front of them, over which the flowing stream was built. Behind the bridge, there are several wooden houses, which are supported by piles driven from the stream, and are also located on the stream.

"Senior, this place can be regarded as a paradise!" Shen Guhong praised.

The old man said: "There are many bandits in this vicinity, what kind of paradise is it?"

Shen Guhong smiled: "With your ability, which bandit dares to come to you?"

The old man smiled and said leisurely: "With the Yang family general, the lives of the border people are indeed more stable, alas, it's a pity that Yang Lao Ling is ยทยทยทยทยทยท."

Shen Guhong said: "Could it be that the predecessors know Lao Linggong?"

When the old man heard this, he seemed to be recalling something, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "What if you know?

Shen Guhong said: "You and Lao Linggong are the same kind of people, worried about the people, presumably you won't go to Langya Village for hunting today, right? โ€

The woods here are dense, what kind of prey do you want? Shen Guhong is a careful person, so he can naturally find clues in the meantime.

The old man's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Little Lao'er is just an ordinary person, how can he be compared with Lao Linggong? It's just that he can do a little kung fu, kill two bandits on weekdays, and give the people and business travelers a more stable environment, by the way, I haven't asked your Excellency for your name?"

"Don't dare, under Shen Guhong, ask the seniors for their names?" Shen Guhong bowed respectfully and said. In the past, Shen Guhong had already reported his life, but this old man had forgotten. Shen Guhong reported his name again, but he didn't care too much.

The old man said: "Little old man Lu Guixin!"

Shen Guhong was taken aback when he heard this, and muttered: "It turned out to be the arrow god Lu Guixin Lu's senior, with this archery technique, I should have thought of it a long time ago!"

Lu Guixin's name, that is well-known, he also entered the military camp and participated in the Yongxi Northern Expedition, but he was not in the same army as Yang Ye. For more than ten years, Lu Guixin has stopped haunting the rivers and lakes, who would have thought that he would live in seclusion at the border, specializing in killing those robbers and ensuring the peace of the people?

Lu Guixin said: "It's just a cheap name, why bother? Let's go, let's go roast the rabbit!"

Since Shen Guhong knew Lu Guixin's identity, he respected him very much, so he took the rabbit in Lu Guixin's hand at the moment, fetched a basin of water, and began to work.

Lu Guixin picked up dry firewood, piled it on the bank of the stream, and the fire was lit and burning. Lu Guixin brought an iron rack and put it on it, skewered the washed rabbits, smeared them with oil and salt, and began to roast them.

After a while, the whole rabbit was roasted and yellowed, and it was extremely appetizing to watch. Lu Guixin extinguished the fire at this time, leaving only the red-hot charcoal fire to continue roasting the rabbit, roasting it for a while, and putting some condiments.

"You wait, I'll go get the wine!" Lu Guixin is quite confident in his craft.

Shen Guhong sat next to the charcoal fire, smelling the fragrance, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Lu Guixin brought a jar of wine and two bowls. After the wine jar is opened, a mellow fragrance spreads, and there is no need to drink it, and it smells a little drunk.

"Tsk, this Lao Fen wine is really delicious, plus the best rabbit meat in the world, it's a perfect match, haha, come, let's drink a bowl first!" Lu Guixin poured the wine into two bowls, and picked up one bowl, and the other bowl was naturally for Shen Guhong.

The two touched the wine bowl, and after each drank the Fenjiu in the bowl, Shen Guhong praised: "It's really good wine!"

Lu Guixin smiled slightly, tore off the front legs of a rabbit and handed it to Shen Guhong, saying: "Although the hind legs of this rabbit are fat, the best thing to eat is the front legs, try the craftsmanship of Xiao Lao'er." โ€

Shen Guhong took the rabbit leg, took a bite, chewed it carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised, "The craftsmanship of the predecessors is really unparalleled in the world." โ€

Lu Guixin has always believed in his craft, others praise him for his archery skills like a god, he is not very happy, the most happy is that others praise his craft. At that moment, he was extremely willing to listen to Shen Guhong's words, laughed, and said, "Come, drink!"

Two of you one night, I have a bowl, and after a while, half of the jar of Fenjiu is gone, and the rabbit is almost finished.

"Alas, I've been here for nearly ten years, and I'm the most happy to drink today!" Lu Guixin leaned against a big stone, drunk and hazy, but he was extremely happy.

Shen Guhong's alcohol consumption is not much different from Lu Guixin's, but this Lao Fen wine is indeed delicious, and he already feels a little dizzy at the moment. I just heard him say: "The wine of the predecessors is really good!"

Lu Guixin opened his eyes and said, "If the wine is good, someone must understand it." Alas, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the land of my Great Song Dynasty!"

Lu Guixin said that he dared to be in tears, and Shen Guhong was quite uncomfortable when he was infected by it.
