492.Chapter 492
In the garden of the astral adventurers, it is time for the fruits to ripen, but in Lingnan, it is early spring in February.
A bad horse with a bad tooth and a bad mouth carried a young man down the road.
This rider is tall, just looking at the skeleton also knows that he is a northerner, along the way occasionally some local villagers who collect firewood and dung to see this northerner riding forward, are busy to give way.
Along the way, the northerner would occasionally restrain his horse's head and ask pedestrians on the road for directions, apparently a first-time outsider to return to this place. However, his official dialect with a northern accent collides with the southern accent here, which is an authentic chicken and duck, and everyone doesn't understand it. He could only gesture and slowly head south.
After walking for about ten miles, he gradually left the village and town, and went up the mountain road, and there were fewer pedestrians along the way, so that the rider could not even find anyone who asked for directions.
Fortunately, the rider is also casual, not the merchant dart master, who is not in a hurry, but just walks along the road by the inferior horse under his crotch. The mountains along the way are beautiful, the vegetation is verdant, and the wind is very different from the northland, although this rider is not very literate, he can't help but feel comfortable seeing such a scene.
So he rode on like this, but saw two men walking together in front of him, and the rider hurried his horse, hurried a few steps ahead, and caught up with him, intending to ask the way.
He restrained his horse, and happened to meet the two men, but saw that the two passers-by were very different in appearance and clothing from ordinary people.
The older passer-by had a short beard on his chin, and there was a faint light in his eyes, and he wore a bamboo crown with a bundle of hair on his head, and a long flowing scarf hanging behind the bamboo crown, which looked like a Taoist attire, but he was wearing a round-necked brocade suit, some like the arrow clothes of a military attachΓ©, but the cuffs were not narrowed. The waist was not tied to the Lu Gongqi used by the Taoist priest, but it was tied with a belt with a green jade belt hook, and a green silk ribbon was hung around the waist, and a tiger head embroidered bag.
If you say that you are an official, you just have a long sword with a bamboo sheath and a broad blade hanging on your shoulder, and the long sword swallows a hexagram charm, which does not look like a serious sword, but it is a peach wood sword of Taoist exorcism.
This person is dressed in a peculiar way, and his companion is also different, his half-length messy hair has not been shaved, nor has it been braided at the back of his head, but he seems to be a warrior monk who has not shaved his head for a long time. There is a scarf-like hairband on his forehead, a fine iron forehead guard embedded in the front, a short dozen clothes, and a green steel long stick in his hand.
The rider saw the appearance of the two, and secretly said in his heart: "Third Brother Zhao once said that many masters and scholars on the rivers and lakes were born from the remnants of the previous dynasty, and they were unwilling to be obedient people under the rule of the Tartars, so they took refuge in the monk's path and secretly planned for the restoration of the homeland. In this way, these two people should be seven or eight such people. β
Thinking of this, he hurriedly hugged his fists towards the two of them and said, "Two masters, may I ask what kind of place is this, if you want to go to Foshan Town, where are you going?"
The bamboo-crowned Taoist heard his question, and looked the rider up and down, and saw that he was only about twenty, with thick hair without braids, horizontal and vertical like grass, full of stubble, and a slightly dark complexion, which looked extremely rough. It's just that the clothes on his body are old, stained with a layer of gray and mud, and then look at the burden behind him that has been beaten into a long and wide strip, which is clearly a single knife inside, obviously a character who has been out for a long time. The bamboo-crowned Taoist smiled softly, and also arched his hand to him: "I really don't dare to take the word Yetai, a certain surname Wei, a single name is a wild character, his surname is He, a single name is a Ming character, and they are not local natives, just passing by." However, if a friend asks for directions, but asks the right person, we also want to go to Foshan Town, this mountain road is still in Lion Ridge in Lianzhou, then Foshan Town has to walk 200 miles south from here. β
Listening to Wei Ye's directions, and hearing that he was also a northern accent, the rider was also quite happy, and said to the two: "It turned out to be Wei Daochang and Brother He, surnamed Hu, with a single name and a Fei character, and it was very lucky to meet two friends." Since everyone is on the way, why don't you just take a companion and walk together?"
With that, Hu Fei jumped off the horse, took the horse's halter, and went with the two of them.
Seeing Hu Fei dismount, Wei Ye turned his eyes, then pulled He Ming's wrist and smiled at Hu Fei: "It turned out to be Brother Hu who fought the merchant fort and helped Zhao Banshan of Taiji Gate clean up the portal. Since Brother Hu wants to go with the two of us, the pace must be faster, otherwise he will not be able to keep up with us. β
Hu Fei listened to him tell his origin, thinking that Wei Ye must be someone who was familiar with the third brother Zhao Banshan, and unconsciously became a little closer. What's more, the ancestor of the Hu family is nicknamed the Flying Fox, and the light skills of the family are the first-class skills in the martial arts, and it is Wei Ye who has the heart to take the school examination, so he can't help but humbly thank: "Hu Fei's kung fu, where can he help Zhao Sange?
Listening to Hu Fei's question, He Ming stopped Wei Ye, but he rushed ahead and replied: "Brother Hu, don't listen to Lao Wei's nonsense, if you want to compare your foot strength, you are afraid that you can't compare to him." Lao Wei has always liked to play tricks on people, and it is best to ignore his ghost ideas. β
This is the experience that He Ming and Wei Ye have been together for so long, but Wei Ye has already interrupted on the side: "Just now Ah Ming and I have agreed, whoever goes down to Lion Ridge first today and rushes to Shenshan Town, today's wine and food supper will be invited by whoever invites it." Brother Hu, this is a matter of great importance, if you are shy, please lead the horse and walk slowly in the back, and let Wei and Ah Ming discuss the victory or defeat first. β
Listening to Wei Ye's words, Hu Fei secretly touched the money bag on his body, but it was only a few hundred copper coins. However, he has always had a bold temperament, but he refused to lose this face, and said secretly: "If I lose to this person, I am afraid that I will be regarded as a stingy person." I still have this animal by my side, and it is worth seven or eight taels of silver in terms of price, and if I win this man at that time, I will use this animal to settle the account. β
After making up his mind, Hu Fei arched his hand and said: "The Taoist chief wants to compare his foot strength with Hu Fei, and the younger brother is very happy." It's just that my animal still asks Brother He to help take care of it. β
With that, he shoved the reins into He Ming's hand, and he immediately set off at a fast pace.
Seeing Hu Fei's light skills, Wei Ye snorted slightly, put his hands on his back, toe slammed, and suddenly his figure swept forward. However, the wind tiger that originally relied on the void to escape was no longer able to hold up his body and lift it up, but he only slid forward, and there was no more immortal ease in the wind.
Wei Ye immediately understood, and said secretly: "I see! No wonder Su Che has to take this positioning map and plan to rub a wild team, it turns out that the power rules of this time and space point are biased towards the martial arts family, and the spells are very difficult to use here." It is also because the Dao Sect True Qi that I have cultivated also emphasizes the way of internal refining in the body, and there are some similarities with the internal strength, so it has not been completely suppressed. β
Even so, Hu Fei saw that he was sweeping with his hands, his body was about to fly, sweeping forward, more than one step, almost not dusty, it was clearly a set of light body kung fu that was not superior, and he couldn't help but admire it greatly, and said secretly in his heart: "Strange people and strange people on the rivers and lakes are really everywhere, such light skills are much more wonderful than my family heirlooms, it can be seen that martial arts is really someone outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, and it is endless." β
Thinking of this, it aroused Hu Fei's competitive spirit, and he accelerated his pace and moved forward quickly, but he was still a few steps behind Wei Ye. The two of them went forward, only to hear the wind whistling, and the grass and trees beside the road quickly retreated.
After biting so tightly and chasing for dozens of miles, Hu Fei's internal strength gradually weakened, and he was thrown down by Wei Ye like this, but Hu Fei was born with a tenacity that did not admit defeat, and he still gritted his teeth and chased forward.
When Hu Fei arrived in the town of Shenshan, it was already sunset, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart, and looked back, but he couldn't see the figure of He Ming leading the horse at all. If you change to a flexible character, you will be suspicious and suspicious, and you will suspect that these two people are partnering to set up a game and deceive their horses. However, Hu Fei was a fledgling and honest, and he just said secretly: "My family martial arts are also broad and profound, but my hard work is insufficient, so I lost to others." Today, I learned that there is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger on the rivers and lakes, and it is necessary to practice diligently in the future. β
He was thinking about it, but he saw a man who looked like a shopkeeper, standing at the head of the town, seeing Hu Fei, he first looked carefully, and then greeted him with a smile: "Isn't it Hu Ye......?"
Before he finished speaking, Hu Fei walked towards the storefront pointed by Xiao Er.
He approached the inn, but saw that his inferior horse was led by the shopkeeper and was about to be sent to the stable, and Wei Ye and He Ming were sitting at the table in the lobby of the inn, with all kinds of wine and fruits, cold dishes and hot dishes, waiting for him to arrive.
Seeing Hu Fei from afar, Wei Ye slapped his hands and smiled: "Brother Hu came just in time, today it should be Wei Mou to be the east, and Brother Hu has a few more drinks!"
Although Hu Fei lost the competition, he saw that Wei Ye acted quite boldly, and he didn't feel like he was old at first sight, and smiled at Wei Ye: "Wei Daochang's light skills are clever, I, Hu Fei, am completely convinced!"
Hearing Hu Fei say this, He Ming had already stood up, pulled him to sit down on the main seat, glanced at Wei Ye, and patted Hu Fei on the shoulder: "Brother Hu, next time Lao Wei wants to compete with you again, don't compare light skills and swordsmanship with him, just change it to a fist and kick competition, then it won't be his turn to his tail here!"
Wei Ye listened to He Ming leaking air for him, and also smiled: "It's naturally nothing more than fists and feet Wei, according to our steps, we will arrive in Foshan Town tomorrow, and the head of Foshan Wuhumen makes a good stick method, it should be the time for Ah Ming to come out." β
