Chapter 25 Jingchang
The next day, on the wide and flat official road, the group walked slowly. In the middle was a lavishly decorated carriage, accompanied by disciples of the Langdao Villa on both sides. At the front of the team, two horses walked one after the other, Xiao Shuang sat on the horse in front, and Gongsun Lang sat on the horse behind.
At this time, Gongsun Lang no longer looked poisoned, but there were still many muslin wrapped around his body, which were all bandaged where he was injured yesterday. Gongsun Lang drove the horse, not daring to be with Xiao Shuang, only daring to lag behind him by half a horse, and asked respectfully: "Xiao Daxia, how could you go with Ning Wushu......? Who is it?"
Xiao Shuang waved her hand impatiently and said, "Why are you asking so much, it has nothing to do with you, this is not something you can inquire about, you just send us honestly." ”
"Yes. Gongsun Lang didn't dare to make a mistake, knowing that he really shouldn't ask this sentence. In fact, a person like him, who has already had a place in the rivers and lakes, has some understanding of the Five Great Hidden Sects, and he is also a young person, and he also knows the names of Xingchen Tower, Shadowless Sword, Lin Wangshu, etc., which were famous all over the world twenty years ago. Although he was just a little shrimp who had just stepped into the rivers and lakes at that time, and now time has already passed, the vague, respectful and fearful memories of the pinnacle of the rivers and lakes many years ago still exist in his mind.
Therefore, Gongsun Lang has an inexplicable awe of Xiao Shuang, Ning Wushu, Xuanyuan Jinyu and others who were born out of thin air and do not know the details.
At this time, in the carriage, "Xuanyuan Jinyu" and "Ning Wushu" were talking in a whisper.
Needless to say, Xuanyuan Jinyu was made by Ning Wushu as a woman, which is her forte, and this time the men's clothes she played were more expressive than before, and even some details were in place, including the fine beard on the lips, the palms and knuckles that were wider than those of women, and the more resolute and masculine face, etc. And the one who contributed to all this was Rina Oda, who was dressed as Ning Wushu.
Oda Rinaha is a Toei ninja, the art of disguise is superb, Ning Wushu has long heard Xiaodao say that this person can be male or female, fat or thin, and even his height can change, it has reached an incredible level. At this time, Rina Oda dressed as Ning Wushu was also eight or nine points similar to Ning Wushu's own appearance, and even his eyes were imitated beautifully. If you are not very familiar with people, I am afraid that you will not recognize this as a pretending Ning Wushu at all.
At this time, Rina Oda respectfully asked: "Ning Nuxia, Oda has something unclear. These people are coming for the heroine, and they all have bad intentions, why do the heroines still follow Gongsun Lang to find a contact person in Shaolin? Shaolin Temple is just a lackey of the Dazhong Dynasty, and they believe that the martial arts in the world are authentic, how can they make a deal with the heroine?"
Ning Wushu nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite smart. You're right, it's impossible for the Shaolin Temple to make any deal with me. I went to Langdao Villa with Gongsun Lang this time, but it was just to complete my own business. ”
Seeing that Rina Oda was confused, Ning Wushu smiled slightly and said, "Sometimes, you don't have to think about things so complicated. I don't know what that secret opponent is trying to do, so I'm going to leave him alone. He caused the whole rivers and lakes to besiege me, it can't be for me, right? In this case, I will ignore him and take advantage of this momentum to do my own thing. ”
Oda Rina listened, her eyes lit up and said: "I understand, Heroine, your purpose is to find a miracle medicine to cure Lingtang, so you want to take this opportunity to let the whole world know what you need, the so-called transaction with Shaolin Temple is just a beginning, the purpose is to spread the news! In this way, as long as Heroine you show peerless martial arts, so that others can't help you, naturally someone will go to find a miracle medicine for you, in order to exchange for the so-called strange treasure!"
"Yes, that's it. Ning Wushu narrowed his eyes, glanced at Rina Oda, and stopped talking. This Oda Rina is really a very smart person, and he has a lot of means, so it would be good to have one of his subordinates. However, Ning Wushu still couldn't forgive her for what she had done. It's okay if she just participated in some vendettas in the rivers and lakes, but what Rina Oda once did can be described as unreasonable and unforgivable, such a person, Ning Wushu will only treat her as a beast that can be called on temporarily, anyway, she also knows that if it weren't for her own strong means and enough control, Rina Oda would never be able to follow her, and she would have slipped back to the East China Sea to be her little island owner.
Therefore, this time Ning Wushu asked Oda Rina to pretend to be herself, obviously with the intention of using this woman as a shield for herself. With such a stand-in, her current identity as "Ning Wushu's military advisor" can also be better played.
At this time, the group of them went to the Langdao Mountain Villa, which was near Hundred Lake City. According to Gongsun Lang, the contact person sent by Shaolin Temple is named Jingchang, a warrior monk with extraordinary martial arts in Shaolin Temple, and a disciple of Master Qingguan, the abbot of Shaolin today, who has a high status in the rivers and lakes.
"Shaolin Temple sent such a pivotal person to the north, it seems that I am very sure of the news near here, behind this Jingchang, I am afraid there are more warrior monks from Shaolin. I wonder who is the driving force behind this, and why is there such accurate information?"
While thinking about this question, Ning Wushu raised the same question in his heart as Fu Jie.
It's just that the person hiding in the shadows is still hiding too deeply, and it's not like they can find clues for a while. What Ning Wushu can do at the moment is to step on the current situation first. Since Donghai can't go to it for the time being, let the whole world do things for him. As for that treasure...... Ning Wushu thought about it, the so-called strange treasure that can make the entire Jianghu people rush to it, I'm afraid there is only the True Immortal Dao Book.
Originally, more than 20 years ago, the world did not know very well what the real True Immortal Daoist Book was, and now people only know some rumors and legends. For example, for this legendary cheatbook, Li Xuefeng, the leader of the Fish and Dragon Alliance, was killed, Xingchen Tower was destroyed, Lin Wangshu killed thousands of people in three days, and the shadowless sword disappeared in the rivers and lakes...... And so on full of legendary stories. This even gave the True Immortal Dao Book a veil of mystery, making countless people convinced of its power.
Now, this powerful treasure was held in the hands of a little girl who was less than twenty years old, and behind her, all she could see was the Shadowless Sword that was seriously injured and waiting to be treated without knowing where to hide, as well as some other ethereal and ethereal Five Hidden Sects, Lin Wangshu and others who had long since faded out of the rivers and lakes, how could they not be tempted?
At that time, Xingchenlou and the Fish and Dragon League occupied half of the world's rivers and lakes, and Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, and Kunlun were not worth mentioning in front of them. Now that the Star Tower has been destroyed, and the Fish and Dragon Alliance has also returned to the imperial court, the True Immortal Dao Book is an excellent opportunity for these martial arts sects to hit the peak, and if you want to say that the most tempting, I am afraid it is these major sects.
At this time, in the Langdao Villa, several people were waiting for the arrival of Ning Wushu and his party.
Langdao Villa is not big, it is not small, it is located next to a river near Baihu City, although it is not as beautiful as the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, but it can be regarded as a good place with mountains and rivers. There are nearly 100 disciples in the villa, half of them travel with Gongsun Lang, the rest practice in the villa, and some are in charge of some business in the villa. And what Ning Wushu and his party are looking forward to are Gongsun Lang's daughter Gongsun Qiong and Shaolin Temple monk Jingchang.
Gongsun Qiong is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but as the only daughter of Gongsun Lang, she still has some status in the villa. This time, Gongsun Lang led half of the disciples of the villa to go out to run errands, and Gongsun Qiong took charge of the affairs of the villa. Early this morning, she received a message from her father that they had really found Ning Wushu and were on their way back to the villa. The excited Gongsun Qiong hurriedly informed Jingchang, who was recuperating in the villa, and the two came to the gate of the villa early, chatting and waiting for Gongsun Lang to return.
Gongsun Qiong is not the kind of good-looking little girl, but has a baby face, looks quite immature and cute, but the tone of her voice is very sophisticated, she looked into the distance, and smiled at Jingchang: "The master doesn't have to wait here with the little girl, when the father returns, the little girl will send someone to inform the master." ”
Jingchang is a monk about forty years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, two long eyebrows hanging crookedly on his face, and he looks like he is smiling gently at all times. But his figure is very strong, unlike the Hong pharmacist in the Yulong Guard, Jingchang's sturdiness is not how burly he looks, but a well-proportioned bodybuilding, and his two temples are also high and protruding, and at first glance he is a master who has been practicing martial arts for many years. Jingchang listened to Gongsun Qiong's words, and responded with a smile: "Amitabha, the female benefactor has a heart." The poor monk is a guest of your village, and when the owner returns, the poor monk should go out to greet him. ”
Gongsun Qiong responded with a smile, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she shouted: "It's coming, it's coming, Dad is back!"
When Jingchang heard this, he looked up, and sure enough, he saw a group of people and horses on the road not far away, wearing clothes that were also from Langdao Villa. The two people at the front were riding horses, one was an unknown man, and the other was Gongsun Lang.
Jingchang saw Xiao Shuang at a glance, and although he didn't know this person, he subconsciously frowned. Xiao Shuang's domineering spirit is too strong, even from such a distance, he can feel an invisible pressure, this person is like a peerless murderous knife that kills gods, just a look is enough to suffocate people.
"This is the master Xiao Shizhu who walked with the master of Ning Shi, according to the letter of the master of Gongsun Zhuang, right? Sure enough, he is a hero with extremely profound martial arts, a poor monk and a pure man, and he is ashamed of himself. ”
Before the group arrived at the villa, Jingchang first saluted Xiao Shuang with his hands folded. Xiao Shuang didn't raise her eyelids, waved her hand, and said, "Lao Tzu is hungry, Gongsun Lang, give us some food first." After that, he swaggered into Langdao Villa, Gongsun Qiong was stunned for a moment, but saw Gongsun Lang nodding to himself, so he hurriedly trotted all the way in and arranged for Xiao Shuang.
Jingchang saw that Xiao Shuang didn't take himself seriously at all, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, but then he saw a white and pure boy get down from the carriage, walked in front of him, and said: "Hello Master Jingchang, in Xia Xuanyuan Jinyu, is a friend of Miss Ning Wushu, Miss Ning doesn't like to chat very much, if you have anything to say, you can talk directly to Zaixia." ”
Jingchang looked at Xuanyuan Jinyu, was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "More than half a year ago, Xuanyuan Jinyu was fighting cold and thousands of autumns in southern Hunan?"
This time, Ning Wushu was stunned for a moment, and responded with some surprise: "I didn't expect the master to hear the name of Zaixia?" ”
Jingchang smiled and said, "The donor is humble. Although the name of the donor is only a flash in the rivers and lakes, it is enough to be remembered deeply by being able to fight with Leng Qianqiu and retreat with his whole body. Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan was actually a friend of Ning Shizhu. ”
Ning Wushu nodded: "The master praised it falsely." Master, it's not easy to talk here, let's go into the village and talk. ”
Rina Oda's pretended Ning Wushu got out of the carriage with the support of the real Ning Wushu, and walked to the village with Jingchang and Gongsun Lang. During this period, Jingchang also looked at "Ning Wushu" a few times, and saw that this woman was dignified and did not squint, just like the appearance of a noble daughter, and his heart was a little uncertain. It is rumored that Ning Wushu, as a descendant who has lived in seclusion with the Shadowless Sword for many years, is a little girl who does not know the world.
Soon, the group was seated in the villa. Xiao Shuang was immersed in eating the dim sum sent by Gongsun Qiong, Ning Wushu took two northern fruits and ate a few bites casually, and as for Oda Rina, she was sitting upright with a blank face.
Finally, it was Gongsun Lang who spoke first. Gongsun Lang laughed and said: "Today, I am fortunate to invite Miss Ning Wushuning, the descendant of the Shadowless Sword, as well as Xiao Shuang Daxia and Xuanyuan Gongzi, two distinguished guests, it is really my luck for Langdao Villa! Of course, since Miss Ning is here for Master Jingchang, why don't we negotiate here!"
Oda Rina glanced at Ning Wushu, Ning Wushu nodded, and said, "It's okay, Master Jingchang has come from afar, and it's not good for us to keep the master waiting for a long time." Master, let me ask first, what are you looking for Miss Ning?"
Jingchang folded his hands and recited a Buddha name, and said with a smile: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Lord Ning Shi has the treasure left by the shadowless sword back then, so it has caused a sensation in the entire rivers and lakes. The master of the poor monk ordered the poor monk to come, just to persuade Ning Shi to temporarily hand over this treasure to Shaolin for safekeeping, so that Shaolin is a martial arts master, and the people of the rivers and lakes dare not harass at will, and Ning Shi can also walk the rivers and lakes with peace of mind and find medicine for his mother. ”
