Volume 2 Treading Chapter 3 The Man in Black
Lu Sanchuan didn't care about Jiang Enyan, his feet stepped over the roof again and again, and fell in front of the small ancestral hall, his eyes glanced at it, and when he saw that the wooden door of the small ancestral hall was empty, he raised his hand and pressed it on the door, gently pushed it open, and tried not to make a sound.
The small ancestral hall of Qianxingmen is slightly different from the small ancestral hall of Yuan's house. The ancestral hall enshrines a statue of Guan Gong dressed in green, holding a green dragon glaive knife, with a beautiful face and a tiger. In front of the statue of Guan Gong, there is a wooden table, on which is placed an incense burner, and three incense sticks are inserted on the stove. The incense had only burned a little, apparently freshly inserted.
Lu Sanchuan stepped on the ground cautiously, his eyes rolled around, and his ears listened to the movement in the ancestral hall.
Although the ancestral hall is small, there are corners where candles do not shine.
After taking three steps, he suddenly heard a strange noise behind him, turned his head, and saw a man in black about to rush out of the door, so he immediately drew his sword and stabbed at the vest of the man in black. The sword is five inches, but he is a little hesitant: If the man in black is really Uncle Yuan, what should I do?
Before he hesitated, the man in black had already run out of the door.
He immediately chased the door out, but saw that the man in black had reached the wall fifty feet away, and jumped out of the wall.
He couldn't help but be taken aback: "This person is so fast!"
There was no way, Lu Sanchuan had to insert the sword back into the sheath and run back to the backyard.
When Su Qing saw him coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward, his eyes were very concerned, "How is it?"
Lu Sanchuan shook his head, saluted Jiang Chengzi first, and saw that Luan Buwei was still lost and lonely, and comforted him for a few words before saying: "The murderer was hiding in the ancestral hall, but he ran away." ”
Jiang Chengzi nodded with a serious expression and asked, "Have you fought with him?"
Lu Sanchuan shook his head and said, "The murderer hid behind the door, I didn't notice it after I entered the door, and when I reacted and rushed out of the door, he had already reached the wall on the opposite side and jumped out of the wall." From this point of view alone, his light skills are extremely high. Senior Jiang, do you know that among the rivers and lakes, there is anyone who is extremely good at light skills and has very good sword skills?"
Jiang Chengzi shook his head and replied: "I have been retired to the rivers and lakes for a long time, and I have only recently set foot again, and I know very little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. ”
Lu Sanchuan wanted to ask Luan Wei for advice, but remembering that Luan Wei likes to drink and is casual by nature, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to ask anything, so he bypassed Luan Wei, turned his face towards Luan Buwei, and asked, "Not for the eldest brother, what do you think?"
Although Luan Buwei was still in mourning, when he heard Lu Sanchuan's question, he wiped his eyes, thought for a while, and replied: "There is one person who has achieved light work, and his sword skills are the best in the world." ”
Lu Sanchuan hurriedly said: "Who!"
Luan Buwei said: "It's the Dragon Yin Knife, Lu Daxia!"
Lu Sanchuan was stunned for a moment, a trace of sadness flashed in his heart, which was quickly erased, and he caught a glimpse of Jiang Enyan's corpse and strode over to check the situation. On Jiang Enyan's white robe, only the left chest oozed blood. He put the painting sword on the ground, groped for a while in the long shirt with both hands, touched three small holes, grabbed the perimeter of the small holes with both hands, and tore the long shirt with force.
The Luan brothers, Jiang Chengzi and Su Qing had already gathered around him, watching him tear open his clothes one by one, exposing Jiang Enyan's body. Above the flesh, there was only a bloody hole, and nothing else.
Jiang Chengzi said: "It seems to be a thin and short hidden weapon like a silver needle. ”
Lu Sanchuan's heart sank for a moment, and then asked: "Not for the eldest brother, there are hidden weapon masters in the rivers and lakes, with excellent light skills and unusual knife skills?"
Luan Bu didn't think about it, and replied: "There are a few people who are proficient in secret weapons and light skills, but I don't know what their sword skills are. ”
Lu Sanchuan hurriedly said, "Who is it?"
Luan Buwei said: "There are three people who can be named, namely Yin Jian, the master of the Qinglong Hall of the Silver Dragon Gang, Yan Junyi, the third master of the Qingyun Society, and Xia Chengcheng, the murderous bee. ”
Lu Sanchuan said: "I know a little bit about the Silver Dragon Gang and the Qingyun Society, where did this killer bee Xia Allure come from?"
Luan Buwei shook his head, "I've just heard of such a person, it is rumored that this person is as beautiful as a flower, but he is ruthless, if you look at her, you will definitely be blinded by her with a silver needle." ”
Lu Sanchuan's eyebrows tightened, "Piercing your eyes with a silver needle?"
Luan Buwei said: "I don't know exactly how, but I've heard people mention it." ”
Lu Sanchuan said: "Then do you know where the killer bee lives?"
Luan didn't think deeply for a long time, and nodded as if he didn't understand, "If I'm not mistaken, the killer bee should live in Huashan." ”
"Okay! After we bury the predecessors of Qianxingmen, we will leave for Huashan!"
Lu Sanchuan picked up a long sword at random, cut Jiang Enyan's chest, dug out the three silver needles, carefully wrapped them with cloth, and put them in his arms.
Luan Buwei was seriously injured and had not recovered, Lu Sanchuan originally asked him to rest on the side, but seeing his tears and pleading, he couldn't bear it, so he asked him to move more than 70 corpses up and down Qianxingmen with Luan Wei and Jiang Chengzi, and he and Su Qing worked together to dig a big pit in the backyard and bury the more than 70 people.
As for the Fengyue Sect, no matter what happened in their lifetime, after all, they were gone, and Lu Sanchuan also buried them in the backyard.
The group rushed to the foot of Mount Hua at noon on the second day, but they lost their way. Luan Buwei only knew that Xia Chengcheng was in Huashan, but he didn't know where Huashan was, whether it was at the foot of the east mountain or the mountainside in the west.
Huashan is majestic and straight, towering and steep, covering an area that is also extremely wide, if you don't know the direction, you will not necessarily have a harvest if you look around on the mountain, and you will not necessarily have a harvest if you look for a whole year.
Lu Sanchuan sat on horseback and saw a small town from a distance, so he said to everyone: "Everyone, are you tired of running for a long time? I saw a small town in front of me, so let's find a place to rest and eat something, and then find a local to ask if it's too late." ”
When they heard this, they felt justified, and they drove their horses away.
Not far from the town, there is a memorial arch with the book "Liangshi Town".
Five horses passed through the torii and entered the town.
Although Liangshi Town is a small town at the foot of Huashan Mountain, it has a large population.
Lu Sanchuan led the horse and walked ahead, and when he saw a "Watson Restaurant" with a flag, he turned around and said to everyone: "Senior Jiang, Brother Luan, let's eat here." ”
Everyone had no opinion, handed the horse to Xiao Er, and each walked into the tavern, found an empty table and sat down.
Lu Sanchuan's eyes swept over the tavern, and saw that this tavern was very simple, and his heart was also a lot more relaxed, and he was about to summon Xiao Er, but one person stopped at the table and looked at the five of them with shaking feet. "Yo, five raw faces. ”
Lu Sanchuan turned his head and saw an unfamiliar face, thinking that it was some person from Liangshi Town, so he got up and saluted him, and said, "Your Excellency, we are indeed outsiders. Your Excellency, may I ask for your name?"
The man laughed, waved his hand, and said, "No respect, my name is Ouyang Yuqing, and I am a jobless vagrant. ”
Lu Sanchuan saw that the person was giggling, without the slightest feeling of guilt, and said in his heart: This person is so thick-skinned, he actually treats the unemployed vagrant as a show off capital. He had no intention of talking to Ouyang Yuqing again, and sat down.
Ouyang Yuqing didn't feel bored because of his sudden coldness, he was still smiling, his two eyes turned and turned, and when he saw the painting sword on Lu Sanchuan's left hand, he couldn't help but light up his eyes, and said strangely: "Yo, this sword is really gorgeous, lend me a look." And he stretched out his hand and touched it.
Lu Sanchuan raised his left hand and pressed the painting sword, and his sharp gaze shot at Ouyang Yuqing, Ouyang Yuqing knew that he had encountered a hard stubble, so he had to laugh with him, "I'm just curious, don't be angry, don't be angry", took a few steps back, and sat back in his seat.
Jiang Chengzi snorted and said, "Lu Sanchuan, your taste is really unique, and you actually salute the ruffians and hooligans who don't know how to learn. ”
Lu Sanchuan knew that he had lost face, so he didn't argue, he just beckoned to Xiao Er, asked for a few dishes at random, and then took out a broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into Xiao Shuang, "Xiao Er, I want to ask you something." ”
Xiao Er saw Yin Liang, smiled at himself, took it in his hand, and put it in his arms, "It's okay to ask, there's nothing I don't know about Liangshi Town." ”
Lu Sanchuan glanced at Luan Wei with a smile and asked, "Do you know where the killer bee Xia Chengcheng lives?"
Xiao Er's face immediately changed, and with frightened eyes, he took out the broken silver from his arms, threw it on the table, dropped the sentence "I don't know", and hurriedly ran to the back kitchen.
"This..."Lu Sanchuan looked at Xiao Er in a daze and ran into the back kitchen, and he had nothing to say for a while.
Instead, Ouyang Yuqing said with a smile on the side: "He must be afraid! What is the origin of the killer bee, ordinary people don't even dare to mention it." ”
A table of five people looked at Ouyang Yuqing in unison.
Ouyang Yuqing rolled under the human eyelids for a long time, and when he saw ten eyes shooting towards him, he didn't panic at all, grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them into his mouth, raised his feet and stepped on the bench, and continued, "When Granny Xia was young, it was called a vicious person, and no one was allowed to mention her name at all, if she dared to mention it, she couldn't tell where she would shoot a silver needle. If you are lucky, you are just blind, and if you are unlucky, you will not even have a small life. Although Granny Xia is now fifty or sixty years old, the villagers near Huashan are still afraid of her. So you, don't ask Xiao Er, ask me, how good?"
Lu Sanchuan didn't know if what he said was true, so he turned to look at Luan Buwei, and when he saw Luan Buwei nodded, he hugged his fists to Ouyang Yuqing and apologized, and said: "Shicai is more offended, and I also look at my brother Tai Haihan." ”
Ouyang Yuqing laughed twice, came uninvited, sat next to Lu Sanchuan, pinched the broken silver on the table with his right hand and threw it upward, and caught it with both hands, and then sent it to his mouth and blew a few breaths, as if what he was holding in his hand was not silver, but a hot potato. Finally, he put the silver in his arms, put his right arm around Lu Sanchuan, and asked with a smile, "Are you looking for Granny Xia?"
Lu Sanchuan nodded, his eyes casually glancing at the painting sword on his left hand.
Ouyang Yuqing laughed a few more times and patted him on the shoulder twice, "Don't worry, don't worry, I want to touch your sword because of curiosity, just like when you see a gem that you have never seen before, although you don't want to have it, you must want to touch it, is that what it means?
Lu Sanchuan felt reasonable when he heard it, so he was not so nervous, and smiled and nodded at him.
