Chapter Thirty-Six: Gathering the Sky, Ming Lao
Tang Hao led Tang Xiao towards the street on the left, Tang Xiao noticed that the people here were basically men, everyone was gloomy and couldn't see a smile at all, and most of the people looked at this tall man with a black cloak on his face and a small head and a bulging sack in front of him, and the people on both sides of the street showed greedy looks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is an unwritten rule in Black Willow Lane - for newcomers, it is to beat up and rob well.
This place is not under the control of the imperial court, it is a standard place where the weak eat the strong, as long as you have the ability to rob here, you will take it, and you will not be arrested if you kill someone, but you have to pay a price in Heiliu Pavilion. Some people were already a little unable to sit still, a big man with a scumbag face walked in front of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao to block the way of the two, Tang Hao looked at the person coldly, the big man laughed, and said directly to the point,
"Since it is a newcomer who doesn't know the rules of Black Willow Lane, he can understand it, and hand over the silver taels on his body and a little weight of good things to share with everyone, so as to avoid the pain of skin and flesh, huh?"
Nearly forty people around looked at the excitement, and Tang Hao said helplessly,
"I didn't want to enter Black Willow Lane with such fanfare, but some garbage had to take the initiative to provoke ......"
The big man said again impatiently,
"What is a person muttering there, is he stupid?"
"Get out. ”
Tang Hao said this word coldly, and the faces of the people around him showed surprised expressions, and the big man said angrily,
"You told Lao Tzu to get out?"
", you still have a chance. ”
"I want to see how you let me go!"
The big man made a gesture, and a man watching the play on the side of the street threw a huge machete directly at the big man, and the machete slammed into the ground with a loud sound, and there were still a little blood stains on the machete, looking like the evil lord who had killed many people. And many onlookers prayed in their hearts for this black cloak, which provoked Xu Jiu, the famous "Xu Butcher" who did six murders on this day but came out of Heiliu Pavilion intact, and this kid's life is gone.
Xu Jiu walked slowly towards Tang Hao with the giant knife, and smiled disdainfully,
"Your kid is finished today, dare to provoke Lao Tzu Xu Jiu, don't you inquire before entering Heiliu Lane?"
Tang Hao said lightly: "Trash." Completely angered Xu Jiu, Xu Jiu lifted the giant knife and slashed at Tang Hao, Tang Hao's right hand gently pushed Tang Xiao away and directly met the giant knife that was slashing towards him, with a crisp sound, the onlookers' original expressions of self-seeking blessings turned into surprise and gradually solidified on their faces, Tang Hao looked extremely relaxed and grabbed the giant knife with the palms of both hands,
"It shouldn't be, this time the strength is more or less three hundred catties. ”
"What's going on, isn't Xu Jiu's internal force already fivefold, this time it's not energetic......"
"This kid is kind of interesting!"
......
Tang Hao grabbed the giant knife and then threw it lightly, Xu Jiu almost didn't stabilize his body, and slammed the giant knife on the ground, Xu Jiu's face was somewhat surprised, thinking in his heart, just now, let alone his own seventy percent of his strength, how could this kid easily catch it, could it be that this kid is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Although Xu Jiu is a rough man, he is not without brains, he has thought about many things just now, and his scheming and vigilance in Heiliu Lane are indispensable. Under everyone's somewhat surprised attention, Xu Jiu dropped the sentence, "Count your kid lucky, Lao Tzu still has something!" and turned around with a giant knife, and several people who followed Xu Jiu also left with Xu Jiu with some puzzlement, Tang Hao snorted coldly, gestured to Tang Xiao who was standing not far away, and the two left without looking back, leaving a group of surprised onlookers, and for a while, a newcomer who had just entered Black Willow Lane came and let some famous "Xu Butcher" suffered a loss, but because of Xu Jiu's personality and temper, the people who spread the word did not dare to be too public, but the news quickly spread to most of the Black Willow Lane, and also made some famous masters in Black Willow Lane arouse some interest.
The housekeeper of the Black Willow Pavilion also heard that someone had made Xu Jiu suffer a small loss, and felt strange, every good temper mixed in Black Willow Lane, and that Xu Jiu was even more famous for his violent temper, just a newcomer didn't have much of a threat Xu Jiu could stop? Xu Jiu must have known that the newcomer had some bottom before he suffered this loss, and the housekeeper named Ximen Yuan immediately asked someone to ask the subordinates who guarded the mouth of the canyon, and he didn't know if he was surprised if he asked, Ximen Cheng listened to the reply of the subordinate who went to inquire about the news, and his eyes widened in shock, and his hands were white because of the strength of the bones.
"Are you sure it's back to Black Willow Lane?"
"Lord Ximen, this is true, no matter how bad the two people guarding the canyon are, they have the kung fu of approaching the fourfold internal force, and the momentum of the internal strength when the rain shot directly suppressed the two, and one of them was also taken an arm. ”
Simon nodded thoughtfully, waved his hand to signal the man to step back, and muttered with some concern,
"It seems that you have to inform the pavilion master first, and if you believe it, you can believe it or not, and it's good ......to take some precautions."
Tang Hao took Tang Xiao through two or three streets, and then came to a shop with a big black plaque engraved with four golden characters of "Every Day Every Day" in front of the door. After Tang Hao led Tang Xiao in, he was greeted by the smell of medicinal herbs, and the guys and guests in the store all cast a little surprised glance when they saw the appearance of this uniquely dressed person, the store was very large, and there were ebony shelves on both sides, and some different medicinal herbs and herbs were placed on each floor of the shelves. A tall and emaciated old man with gray eyebrows and beard walked out of the counter and greeted Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.
"Why did the two little brothers come to 'Jutianpu', what herbs or herbs do you want to buy?"
Tang Hao took two steps forward, the old man looked displeased, and Tang Hao said six words softly,
"The sky is full of rain and rain. ”
The old man was immediately surprised when he heard this, but soon returned to normal, said hello to a fellow, and walked towards the inner room of the shop, "This guest needs some good herbs, I'll take him to see it." ”
Tang Hao patted Tang Xiao on the shoulder, signaling Tang Xiao to follow him, and then followed the old man to the inner room. When he arrived in the inner room, the old man couldn't hide the change in his face, and asked in a somewhat incredulous tone,
"Is it really that the rain is back?"
Tang Hao pulled down the big hat on the black cloak and said with a faint smile,
"Ming Lao, I'm back. ”
The old man who was called Ming Lao by Tang Hao slapped Tang Hao's head fiercely, his face showed a faint anger, but his tone was full of joy, "Wow, your kid has been gone for three years, and you won't come back to see me if you throw me here alone!"
Tang Hao didn't dodge and took a hard hit with this force, and stuck out his tongue,
"Minglao, although I am at fault first, you don't have to be so heavy......"
"This stinky boy...... By the way, who is this kid next to you?"
Only then did Ming Lao notice Tang Xiao, who had been following Tang Hao, Tang Hao smiled,
"This is my brother, and I went back to Blackwillow Lane this time to get some things for him. ”
"I didn't expect you to have a younger brother," Ming Lao looked at Tang Xiao with some novelty, and after looking at it for a while, he turned around and walked towards the wooden ladder in the house, "Let's go upstairs first." ”
Tang Hao nodded, and took Tang Xiao upstairs with Ming Lao. Coming to a plainly furnished room, there was nothing left in the room, except for a table made of a huge tree stump and five wooden chairs, only the red tea tray on the wooden table and a complete set of blue and white porcelain tea sets on the tea tray. Ming Lao came to the wooden table and sat down, Tang Hao naturally came to the wooden table and pulled two wooden chairs and sat down, Tang Xiao sat aside with Tang Hao, and Ming Lao called out, "Xiaocui." After a while, a woman wearing a white dress and a pink skirt entered the house with a pot of hot water, put the pot by the door and exited the house, and closed the door as she went out. Tang Hao smiled faintly,
"Ming Lao, every one of the people in your store is really very literate. ”
As he spoke, he left his seat and sent the pot of hot water to Ming Lao, who took the pot and smiled,
"Hmph, put my top hat on. Tell me what you've done outside in the past three years, and have you caused trouble in your own sect?"
Tang Hao chuckled, "How can I cause trouble? Minglao, you don't know me." ”
Ming Lao quickly put the tea set up and swiped the pot on the tea tray, as if there was no movement, but the tea tray and tea set were evenly spread with hot water, Tang Xiao was surprised, this Ming Lao is so powerful! Ming Lao took out a silk wrapped wooden box from behind the wooden table, took out a bag of tea leaves, and waited for Ming Lao to take out some tea leaves with a porcelain spoon and put them in a small porcelain pot and pour hot water into the porcelain lid, and then said slowly,
"The old man just understands that he knows that your kid must be causing trouble again. ”
Tang Hao said with a smile,
"Why doesn't Ming Lao believe me, I really haven't done anything out of the ordinary except for busy my brother......"
Ming Lao sighed, "Since you don't say it, then talk to me about your younger brother." ”
"Ming Lao, I told you the truth, this younger brother is my fellow disciple, although he was not born with the same mother as me, but he is closer than the blood relation, he is also the first time to come, I still think Ming Lao can give him a name. ”
Tang Xiao was a little puzzled, but he didn't interject when he saw Tang Hao and Ming Lao Zheng talking, and Ming Lao explained to him as if he had seen through Tang Xiao's thoughts,
"Because it's not good to publicize where you come from in Black Willow Lane, this is also a rule in Black Willow Lane, otherwise it will involve changes in the subtle relationship between sects because of your personal reasons, which is a big taboo. ”
Tang Xiao had an epiphany at this time. Ming Lao smoothed his beard and thought for a while before he spoke,
"Since you are the rain, then your brother will call it Covered Clouds. ”
"Well, a good name, worthy of Ming Lao," Tang Hao nodded again and again, and said to Tang Xiao, "Thank you Ming Lao." ”
Tang Xiao answered, "Thank you, Mr. Ming!"
Ming Lao laughed, "Small things, small things, don't be so restrained." If you don't dislike the old man, call the old man Grandpa. ”
Tang Hao was surprised in his heart, Ming Lao was actually willing to let Tang Xiao call the second word of his name, which was too unexpected.
Tang Xiao shouted, "Thank you, Grandpa Jin." ”
"Haha......"
Ming Lao laughed twice before he said to Tang Hao,
"Since you haven't been to Black Willow Lane for so long, then the old man will tell you about the changes over the years..."
"Okay, Lao Ming is old. ”
