In the twilight of winter, Dongting Lake is blue, the thick snow on the lakeside covers the withered grass beach, and the layers of freezing rain poured down from the sky hang on the side of the lake embankment and the smooth tree strips of the willow branches, under the reflection of the setting sun, the lake is sparkling and scaly, connected with the sky, it is really like a fairyland on earth.

Shen Yong heard it early, "The smoke waves are not moving, the shadow is heavy, and the blue color is completely dark and green." It is suspected that it is the daffodil grooming place, and the reputation of Dongting Lake is "a snail Qingdai mirror center", and before it reaches the lake, it has already stood on the bow of the boat. He thought that when the fishing boat sang at night, there must be a figure on the lake, but when he walked into the lake, Fang Jue was silent all around, and only the evening breeze that blew from time to time shattered the blood color of the remnant sun on the lake. Shen Yong suddenly felt that here and now, there is quite a wonder of mirrors, flowers and moons, looking at the place, very leisurely, and the mouth of the man chanted: "The winter water of Nanhu Lake is smokeless at night, and it can ride the stream to the sky." This sentence is originally "the autumn water of the South Lake is smokeless at night", from the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's "You Dongting" work, Shen Yongte changed the word "autumn" to the word "winter", but it is also quite in line with today's scene.

I didn't know that this poem was just halfway through the chanting, and suddenly there was a shout, and a fishing boat came from the shore, and a big man in black clothes with a tiger's back came with an oar, but under the hazy night moon, he really couldn't see the big man's face clearly.

Shen Yong paused slightly, but Xue Qi was walking out of the black tent, and said: "And on the moonlight in Dongting, the boat will buy wine and Baiyunbian, I didn't expect that Brother Shen is also familiar with the poems of Qinglian monks and immortals." ”

Shen Yong said with a smile: "The poems of Taibai poets not only have the vast and magnificent magnificent scenery, but also the beautiful artistic conception of the charm, as well as the grand ideals of Ji Cangsheng and An Sheji, and also have a kind of romantic feelings. ”

The two of them chanted clearly, talked and laughed with rhyme, like this lake full of winter water, looking at each other a little, just like in the painting.

But the big man in black seemed a little impatient, and seeing that they were talking and laughing endlessly, his expression was already full of anger, and he shouted: "Two friends, this is not the place for you to chant poetry, leave quickly." ”

Shen Yong still stood with his hands in his hands, and asked: "This is really strange, there are people in the Eight Hundred Miles Dongting who have banned boats, it is really unheard of, dare to ask why?" The big man tightened his palms, took out a short knife from his waist, and pointed the knife straight at Shen Yong, and said angrily: "If you let you go, you will leave, what so much nonsense!" Shen Yong saw him pointing a knife at himself, but he did not show any panic, and said: "In this case, let's go over there." Seeing that they had swung the boat to the east of the lake, the big man immediately said, "I can't go over there!" But before he could blurt out the word "de", the man frowned, looked behind Shen Yong, and said in a lost voice: "Help... Helper, I didn't put him in. ”

Before the words fell, Shen Yong suddenly felt a light floating from behind him, he turned his head to look back, and saw a dragon head ship coming through the waves, and on the bow of the ship stood a man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes and a majestic expression, who looked like he was about fifty years old, his eyes were like electricity, and he was shooting straight forward, and Shen Yong was also quite afraid of it.

When the man in black saw this man, his expression became more and more frightened, and when the big ship approached, he saw the big man bow his head and say, "I have seen the helper." ”

The man on the boat let out a cold "um", a pair of cold eyes, but he turned to the Shen Yong boat like lightning, and said, "Who are they? Didn't you tell them the order to ban the lake tonight?"

Dahan hurriedly said aggrievedly: "Of course the little ones said it, but they didn't listen to persuasion, I... I can't help it. The man snorted heavily again, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you, you came here late at night, didn't Boss Sha send you?"

Zhou Ziheng, who was still resting in the cabin, heard the noise outside getting louder and louder, got up and came out to check, and saw a dragon head ship standing proudly, his heart was stunned, and when he saw the person on the boat, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Guan Gang Master!" It turned out that this person was the leader of the Five Lakes Gang, known as the "Dragon King of the Sea", Guan Moxing, when Emperor Li Yu first established the Tang Kingdom, he had been helped by this water hero, so Zhou Ziheng and Guan Moxing were also old friends.

Guan Moxing recognized Zhou Ziheng and arched his hand: "It turned out to be General Zhou, I haven't seen him for many years, and the general's demeanor has not diminished back then." Zhou Ziheng smiled and said: "The Guan Gang Master made fun of it, but this night has come, and your gang is still gathering in Dongting, I don't know what the so-called thing is, but there is a place where the younger brother can help?" Guan Moxing said: "Tonight, we are the Wuhu Gang..." After that, with a wave of his right hand, I saw several big men on the dragon's head boat hurriedly put down the sampan, and then moved the oars to row close to the boat, leading Zhou Ziheng, Shen Yong, and Xue Qi to the big boat.

When everyone returned to the dragon boat, Guan Moxing beckoned a few people to sit down slowly, and saw a sailor under the mast, and at this time the letter flag in his hand swayed left and right, and the dragon boat had broken the waves to the east.

The boat traveled for a long time, turned a reed, Shen Yong saw three big boats parked not far ahead, a total of dozens of torches in the bow and stern, the Dongting Lake was as bright as day, although the big boat was not as solemn as the dragon boat of the Five Lakes Gang, but it was also the same size, the three big ships were all sailing, waving with the wind, and the three words "Diyoutang" were written on it, which was extremely powerful.

When the dragon boat approached, Shen Yong saw that on the main boat in the middle, there was a young man with a brocade robe and jade face, and a row of big men stood behind him. Shen Yongxin said: "This young man looks the same age as me, but he can lead the crowd, I don't know where it came from?"

Thinking about it, I only heard a soft voice suddenly coming from the lake: "I still have to invite the Guan Gang Master to come at night, the younger generation is really ashamed, but I am also forced to do it, I still want to solve the matter on the Yangtze River quickly." ”

Shen Yong saw that he was full of anger when he spoke, and he was obviously a person with extremely deep internal skills, so he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhou has lived in Jiangnan for a long time, do you know who this person is?" Zhou Ziheng chuckled lightly and said: "He is Qu Zutian, the head of the famous 'Diyou Hall' in the rivers and lakes. Shen Yong sighed, thinking: "This young man, he became the head of a faction at a young age, and he is also a powerful person, but I don't know what he said about the things on the Yangtze River, what is it?" Over the past 100 years, the things on the water have been commanded by the leader of your Five Lakes Gang, and the successive generations of gang leaders have led the water alliance, resisting foreign insults and internal fighting, and they have always been peaceful, and the hundred miles of Taohuawu have only been established for 20 years, so they dare to provoke the prestige of your alliance. ”

Shen Yong's heart sank: "This hundred miles of Taohuawu is not the gang that Tao Lang, Yu Haoran, and Bu Ziming three uncles fought back then against their twelve disciples, I have to listen carefully, don't implicate the three uncles." "Listen intently.

Guan Moxing listened to Qu Zutian's big argument and said: "That Baili Taohuawu and our water alliance belong to the water affairs, and Gongzi's Diyoutang is originally a line of land roads, so I don't worry about Gongzi." ”

Qu Zutian's eyes turned, and he continued: "We people in the rivers and lakes, how to divide the water and land, but everyone in the rivers and lakes, no matter what they do, there are rules, since Baili Taohuawu is arrogant and unreasonable, intercepting and killing a large number of officers and soldiers on the Yangtze River, and fighting for the territory of your water alliance, this is a bad rule, since the rules are broken, then we have to solve it according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, you and I are both characters who lick blood with knives, except to fight with strength and weakness, there is really no other way!"

Guan Moxing sighed: "If there is chaos today, I have no intention of fighting, not to mention that Boss Nasha is also for the common people, opening up water trade routes, so he intercepted and killed officers and soldiers." ”

Qu Zutian saw that he had no heart, and shouted loudly: "Open up the trade route? Could it be that the Yangtze River is controlled by your Five Lakes Gang, and the trade route will not be passed? Thirty-four years ago, when my father was still in charge of the Diyou Hall, he had a word with the predecessors of the rivers and lakes, and the affairs of the official family had nothing to do with my Jianghu martial arts.

Guan Moxing breathed a long sigh of relief: "I have long wanted to abolish the water protection fee, just to take care of the well-being of the brothers, so I have not moved, it would be good to fill my stomach in the autumn of troubled times, and how many people can take the money?"

Qu Zutian smiled slightly, and said loudly: "The former Chaoyin Prince's "Mountain Residence Map" has now fallen into the hands of Boss Sha, and the Guan Gang Master is not moved at all?"

Hearing the three words of the mountain residence map, Shen Yong's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: "Then the "Mountain Residence Map" was not taken away by the four heroes of Tongguan, how could it appear here?"

Guan Moxing sneered and said, "It's a pity that I'm not interested in the treasure of the hidden prince at all. After saying that, he beckoned, and the dragon boat was about to set sail.

But seeing that Qu Zutian twitched, more than a dozen small boats shot out from behind the three big boats, and several big men swung their oars at the stern of the boat, coming at great speed, and in a moment the dragon boats of the Five Lakes Gang were surrounded in the middle. On the boat on the north side of the sudden land, a person stood up, hugged his fist to Guan Moxing, and said: "If the Guan Gang Master insists on not going to Baili Taohuawu to theorize about this matter, then it is your fault, my water alliance is more than ten million, but I can't obstruct the great cause of my entire water alliance for the sake of your selfishness." Shen Yong saw that his face was sallow, but his face was full of rust, and he was obviously a high roller who haunted the water all year round. Zhou Ziheng knew this person, and said in a low voice: "Why is Wu Feiyang, the chief helmsman of Taihu Sanzhai, here today?"

Guan Moxing said coldly: "Master Martial Helm, what do you mean by this? Since I Guan someone took charge of the Water Alliance, what is not for everyone's sake?" Wu Feiyang said with a smile: "What you said is good, now he Sha Boss is riding on the neck of our Water Alliance to and pee, but you don't even dare to let out a fart!" Guan Moxing listened to Wu Feiyang's words, and was not annoyed, and said softly: "I don't go to the Hundred Miles Taohuawu Theory, because I don't want to make extraneous branches in this eventful autumn." Wu Feiyang said: "I think you are a coward, but unfortunately the leaders of your Five Lakes Gang are all jealous and hateful, and I didn't expect that the century-old foundation that came to you would be ruined in vain." Guan Moxing shook his head and said: "When there are wars and strife today, the people are not able to make a living, the court and the upper echelons often collapse, and the hearts of the people in the rivers and lakes are scattered, and my generation has practiced martial arts all my life, what should I do in the end? Is it on this cave court to deceive me? Shouldn't I help people in distress and save the people from fire and water? Of course, I can go to Sha Boss to theorize, and it will inevitably lead to a fight, but what is the point of that? In my opinion, as long as he can relieve the people's worries in a hundred miles of Taohuawu, even if he gives the entire territory on the Yangtze River to Sha Boss, why not? Wu Feiyang laughed and said: "Gang Master Guan, you say it beautifully, but in your heart, you just can't let go of the position of the alliance leader." Guan Moxing sneered and said, "I can't let go of this position as the leader of the alliance?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out a small flag made of brocade from his arms, embroidered with a lifelike blue flying dragon on it, and hummed: "It's been more than thirty years, I've already done enough for this alliance leader, whoever wants to do it, take it." Everyone was surprised when they saw that Guan Moxing actually took out the alliance flag.

With a sound of brushing the ground, Wu Feiyang swept onto the dragon boat, and grabbed the command flag in Guan Moxing's hand with his right hand. Guan Moxing suddenly reversed his wrist, broke free of Wu Feiyang's grasp, and then threw the Ling Qi into the air, Wu Feiyang jumped in the air, just took the Ling Qi in his hand, and said loudly: "Since you are no longer our alliance leader, then you don't want to leave Dongting Lake alive today!"

Guan Moxing never thought that today's Dongting rally was actually to take his life, and immediately sneered: "I Guan Moxing wants to leave, which of you can stop me?"

But seeing the green shadow flickering, on a small boat in the west, waiting for a person, the toes slightly touched the bow of the boat, standing and taking advantage of the momentum, the left foot and lightly on the wall of the dragon boat, the right foot kicked out in the void, whirring two ups and downs, floating to the dragon boat, bowed down and gave a salute, and said with a smile: "There are bricks thrown first, in order to attract jade, today's assembly, Yi Chuanhai knows that his skills are shallow, he is the first to offer ugliness, and he hopes that Guan will help the master to teach." ”

Before the words were spoken, Yi Chuanhai's slender figure was like a sky-high feather arrow, swept up. But seeing that his body was volleying in the air, he was still straight, but in an instant, Yi Chuanhai's body was crooked, his shoulders were slanted, and he split down with one palm, the palm wind was whirring, and the momentum was mighty, Shen Yong couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Guan Moxing. How do you know that halfway through the palm, Yi Chuanhai suddenly turned into a straight split, and a move of "sailing straight up" was cleverly turned into an "iron lock across the river", and he cut to Guan Mo Xing's face door. Guan Moxing didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, just waiting for Yi Chuanhai's palm power to wave, his body shrank back slightly, the power of Yi Chuanhai's right hand was just avoided by Guan Moxing, Yi Chuanhai cut the air with one palm, and the opportunity was lost, as long as Guan Moxing made a move at will, he could be knocked down, Yi Chuanhai was horrified, he jumped back, and swept backwards with a brush, but his heart was already frightened.

Guan Mo couldn't do a single trick to subdue Yi Chuanhai, and Shen Yong, who saw it, praised again and again, but he was worried in his heart: "This group of people bullying more and less is a despicable move, although the Guan gang leader is extremely brave, but after a long battle, how can he get out?"

Yi Chuanhai wanted to fight again, but he heard Qu Zutian shouting: "Brother Yi, you are not his opponent, retreat." After speaking, Yi Chuanhai retreated.

Guan Moxing's heart froze: "Aren't these people all bought by Qu Zutian?" The thoughts were still around, but they heard a long howl, everyone looked around, only to see the lake rippling, Qu Zutian actually stepped on the water, the lake was under his feet, as if it was flat, the water only soaked the calves, and Qu Zutian came to the side of the dragon boat, and suddenly jumped, the toes happened to step on a small boat, the oars on the boat, suddenly felt a strong attack, the boat involuntarily retreated back a few feet, and Qu Zutian had fallen to the dragon boat.

Tao Lang was mixed in the river for decades, Shen Yong had heard him talk about the martial arts of various families on the water, not to mention that he had never heard of the martial arts of treading water out of thin air, that is, the Bodhidharma Patriarch crossed the river with a reed, I am afraid that it is just the old god's words, how can there really be such martial arts in the world? But at this moment, on the lake, not to mention more than 100 people, they have seen with their own eyes Quzu Tiandengping crossing the water, everyone is shocked, and the lake is immediately silent.

Guan Moxing was shocked, but he heard Qu Zutian smile and said: "The junior just wants to ask the Guan Gang Master for a few tricks, I don't know if the Guan Gang Master is willing to give advice?" Qu Zutian knew that Guan Moxing's kung fu could be regarded as the top master in the rivers and lakes, but he thought that he had a family heirloom of the Five Elements True Yuan Technique, which could be better than Guan Moxing, so he had the courage to step on the dragon boat.

On Guan Moxing's serious face, murderous intent loomed, and he suddenly raised his voice and laughed: "Water heroes, there are thousands of them, you Qu Gongzi is a man in the land road, do you also want to be the leader of the water alliance?"

Qu Zutian giggled and said, "Our Diyou Hall is built according to the Dongting, so it's okay to compete for the leader of the Water Alliance, right?"

Guan Moxing's heart was pounding, at this time, he knew that all this was planned by Qu Zutian, the purpose was to eradicate himself, thinking of this, Guan Moxing's eyes were full of light, and he shouted: "If you want to take my life, I'm afraid it's not so easy." The body suddenly twisted, the arms were wide open, the body moved forward, the left and right palms were raised, the wind suddenly rose, the dragon boat was around, and the water column was immediately in the sky, and the momentum was extremely powerful. Seeing that the water column was soaring higher and higher, Guan Moxing raised his hands, and the water column actually rushed towards Qu Zutian's body at the same time. I saw Qu Zutian in the mist, giving birth to an invisible qi network, and the countless water columns stirred up by Guan Moxing were all supported outside the invisible qi network. After a while, the water column turned into beads, and they shook down, and the water droplets fell on the surface of the lake like hailstones, and there was a loud sound.

Shen Yong was stunned: "This young man's skills are so strong. He was still worried, but he saw Guan Moxing rising to the sky, splitting his palms, and coming straight to the sky with his head and feet. Seeing this, Qu Zutian flicked his big sleeves, and his body was like a goshawk, flying forward, and Guan Moxing, who swooped down in the air, just staggered up and down, and just between the two bodies, Guan Moxing suddenly screamed, flew obliquely for several feet, poofed, fell into the lake, and splashed all over the sky.

The sailors and big men on the dragon boat exclaimed in surprise, and jumped into the lake one after another to find Guan Moxing. For a while, on the huge dragon boat, only Shen Yong, Zhou Ziheng, and Xue Qi were left, standing there at a loss.

I heard Qu Zutian shout again: "Come on, take them down for me!"
