Chapter 43: Like-mindedness
Seeing the protagonist appear, Yu Tianlai was not in a hurry to leave, asked for another pot of wine, and poured himself a drink slowly.
After Hong Xiguan and another man and woman sat down at a table, the fierce man called his man, ordered a lot of meat dishes such as braised chicken and fat beef, and asked for a large jar of spirits.
Hong Xiguan frowned slightly and said, "Senior Brother Ma, we have something to do today, so let's drink a little less." ”
The man patted his chest and laughed: "Senior Brother Hong, don't you know me Ma Ning'er? Junior Brother has always increased his strength when he increases his drinking strength, and it is precisely because there are big things to do that I want to drink freely!"
"Ma Ning'er?" Yu Tianlai didn't expect that this was the villain in the original plot, in the movie, this person only appeared once in his true face and was overturned by Hong Xiguan, and when he appeared again, he had become a "poisonous person", his whole body was rotten beyond recognition, and Yu Tianlai didn't recognize it at all.
Hong Xiguan's long eyebrows frowned even tighter, and when he was about to open his mouth to persuade again, the woman next to him smiled first: "Senior Brother Hong, you also know that Senior Brother Ma is not happy with alcohol every day, and with his amount of wine, he will not make a mistake if he drinks all this jar of wine, so let him go!"
Hearing this woman's words, Hong Xiguan's brows furrowed, and he didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, Ma Ning'er smiled: "Sure enough, one thing descends one thing, no matter how powerful you are, Senior Brother Hong, you still have to listen to our Senior Sister Liu after all!"
The woman's face turned red when she heard this, and she shouted, "Senior Brother Ma, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't think I'll help you speak in the future!"
Ma Ning'er hurriedly made a confession, and dried three bowls of the liquor that was served as punishment, just looking at the way he shook his head when he drank, he was very happy with this "punishment".
Seeing the intimacy of the three of them when they got along, Yu Tianlai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the world is changeable, and people's hearts are more changeable, who would have thought that the original pair of brothers and sisters would later become the mortal enemies of different Dai Tian.
Hong Xiguan and the other three talked in a low voice while eating and drinking, Yu Tianlai listened in the corner, and learned that the woman's name was Liu Yingchun, and she was born in the Shaolin side branch "White Crane Gate". Hong Xiguan and Ma Ning'er studied martial arts in Shaolin Temple for ten years, and went down the mountain to walk the rivers and lakes after opening Muren Lane according to the door rules.
A few days ago, the two brothers came to visit Liu Qingfeng, the head of Baihemen, and got acquainted with Liu Qingfeng's pearl Liu Yingchun.
Liu Yingchun saw that the two brothers were of the same age as himself, but they had been released by the master to roam the rivers and lakes, and he was very envious, so he asked his father to pester, and finally got his father's permission to walk with Hong Xiguan and Ma Ning'er.
Yu Tianlai was very curious about what these three people were going to do here, but they were very tight-lipped about it, and they never confided any information in their conversations.
Sure that there would be nothing to gain from listening to it any longer, Yu Tianlai settled the meal before the meal, walked out of the inn, and walked along the street as if he was strolling the destination.
Turning around and walking through a few streets, a very imposing official office appeared on the side of the street in front, and there were two teams of Qing soldiers with guns and knives in front of the door, but it was Wu Liuqi's general military mansion.
Yu Tianlai staggered past the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion without looking into the door, and the guards in front of the door didn't care about him. He turned the corner in front of him, circled around the vast government office, and as he walked, he had memorized the roads in all directions, and finally came to a teahouse not far away.
Yu Tianlai found a table by the window upstairs, asked Dr. Tea and ordered a pot of tea and a few dried fruits, and looked around from the window while enjoying it casually. After he was reborn twice, his body also mutated twice, and his eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind were far superior to ordinary people. In the eyes of today, within a thousand paces of each other, as long as he stares intently, everything is delicate, and it is like an invisible telescope. At this moment, he seemed to be casually watching at random, but he took in all the architectural layouts in Wu Liuqi's official office and memorized them in his heart.
When everything that could be seen was clear, Yu Tianlai was about to retract his gaze, when he suddenly saw Hong Xiguan, Liu Yingchun and Ma Ning'er walking out of an alley not far from Wu Liuqi's official office. He had just surveyed the surrounding terrain and paths, and remembered clearly in his mind that the alley could lead to the back wall of the official office.
"How did they come here? It shouldn't be a coincidence......? That's even more interesting!" Yu Tianlai thought to himself, a strange smile appeared on his face.
At this time, Hong Xiguan and the other three were walking towards this teahouse, and Yu Tianlai got up to settle the bill. When he went downstairs, he happened to meet Hong Xiguan and the three of them going upstairs, and the two sides walked opposite each other.
Hong Xiguan has a very good memory, and he also recognized that this young man had seen him in the lobby of the inn at that time, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then his eyes showed some scrutiny.
Yu Tianlai didn't care, only smiled at him slightly, and turned sideways to get out of the way.
Hong Xiguan saw that this young man was gentle and polite, but he didn't seem to have malicious intentions, so he also nodded lightly to express his gratitude, and took Liu Yingchun and Ma Ning'er behind him upstairs.
After Yu Tianlai returned to the inn, he instructed the men not to disturb him, and then meditated cross-legged on the bed in the guest room, and adjusted his luck according to the twelve sitting diagrams named by Chen Jinnan as "Dharma Jue". He has been practicing this set of mental methods for a period of time, and he is sure that his original guess is correct, and it really complements the "Yijin Sutra". Now that he is practicing these two exercises together, his skills are progressing faster, and he is quite a thousand miles away.
With the babbling stream-like true qi running between the eight veins of the Qi Sutra at the same time, the essence of the body is like a spring source of endless breeding wisps of true qi, and hundreds of rivers flow into the mainstream of the true qi circulating in the meridians, and finally ten thousand streams return to the sea into the dantian.
In the process of the operation of the true qi, his ear power, which was far superior to ordinary people, gradually expanded to all sides, and finally shrouded the entire inn in the monitoring range, and there was not a trace of abnormal sound that could escape.
As the clock ticked, the night deepened. Around the third watch, Yu Tianlai's ears suddenly caught a long-awaited sound, and he opened his eyes slightly.
He took the package and took out a large robe and a mask from it. The robe is cut and sewn from pure white silk, with a hood at the neckline and sleeves that fall to the knees. The mask is also white, painted as a strange grimace of crying and laughing.
Yu Tianlai shook off his robe and put it off from the top of his head, the drooping long sleeves covered his arms that were different from ordinary people, and then buttoned up his mask and put on his hood, and the whole person immediately became ghostly, just like the white impermanence that came out of the underworld to hook people's souls.
He took the steel sword with him, quietly stepped out of the window, and leaped lightly onto the roof, hiding behind the ridge.
As soon as this side was hidden, three black shadows flew up to the roof on the other side.
Yu Tianlai's eyes can not only see far away, but also cave. Although it was in the dark of night, it was clear that the three of them were all dressed in black and masked as night walkers, one carrying a three-foot short gun in his hand, one carrying two knives on his back, and one with a pair of stainless steel hooks and claws hanging from his waist. Just looking at their figures, Yu Tianlai can also be sure that these are Hong Xiguan, Liu Yingchun and Ma Ning'er.
After the three of them went to the roof, they made a little identification of the direction, and then they performed light body kung fu together, and galloped away from the eaves and walls.
Yu Tian came to see them in the direction of Wu Liuqi's official office, and finally determined the previous conjecture in his heart: "Sure enough, they are like-minded." In this case, there are three people who will make a stone for Yu to ask for directions. ”
