Chapter 8: Hearing Secrets (3)
Liu Changqing accompanied Mr. Shu and Mr. Du to the street together, and saw that the two groups of people not far away were fighting in full swing, and they had already moved their weapons, and several people were already lying on the ground and screaming in pain, and they secretly sighed and mocked in their hearts. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Shu Du and the others were quite interested, and they couldn't help but point out and comment. During the fight, someone shouted: "The government is here! Everyone run!" When the two gangs heard this, they stopped fighting, thinking that if they were arrested by the government, there would be a lot of trouble. Most of these people in the rivers and lakes are self-proclaimed and high-minded, and they are unwilling to deal with the government.
Liu Changqing's eyes happened to stop at one person, seeing that he lowered his head, but the voice came from his mouth. From the side, the man was thin and short, about twenty-three or fourteen years old. Liu Changqing said in his heart: "This person's brain is very bright, just one sentence made everyone stop fighting, in fact, no one from the government came." ”
Although everyone stopped fighting, they looked around and saw no one from the government, and they didn't know who shouted, scolding and scolding, and each of them helped up the wounded of their own faction and looked for medicine to heal.
In the next few days, every day I could hear that there were people fighting in Gangneung City, all for the ownership of the sword, and at this time, everyone didn't even know how the four swords looked like, and it was really ridiculous to toss like this.
Seeing that the day was getting closer and closer, this day was the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Liu Changqing drank a little stuffy wine in the room by himself, and said in his heart: "In the past today, I am going to accompany my concubine to the market, last year we bought a lot of things, what firecrackers, candles, stickers, beef, so unhappy." This year, I'm drinking here alone, and I'm really stuffy. ”
Thinking of Concubine Zhao, Liu Changqing sighed again, pushed open the door, and was about to go out for a walk, seeing that there were still more than ten people in the lobby who could not find a place to live, so they could only lay on the floor here, and sighed: "These people are not even with their families for the New Year in order to take a look at the sword." ”
The lobby was very lively, with more than a dozen people chatting and laughing around a stove. Liu Changqing's eyes swept around, and saw a young and beautiful woman sitting by the door, her skin was like clotted fat, white and red, gentle as jade, crystal clear, she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, the woman seemed to notice that someone was looking at her, and her eyes also swept towards Liu Changqing, Liu Changqing hurriedly avoided her eyes and hurriedly walked out.
Liu Changqing only hopes to hear the Yangzhou accent these days, if someone speaks Yangzhou, then he can ask the owner of Huiyan Mountain Villa if Shen Zhuang will also come to participate in the ice and snow water cold conference. How do you know that in a few days, there seems to be no one from Yangzhou. Therefore, every time I go out and hear someone else's accent, I always pay a little more attention.
When he walked to the door of the inn, he heard the beautiful woman speak: "Brother, if you don't take me home after reading the sword in the first year of junior high school, I will go by myself and ignore you again." Liu Changqing listened to her speak, and the aftermath was endless, and it came into her ears, and she couldn't say how comfortable she was, and she was stunned and said, "There is such a beautiful voice in the world." ”
Liu Changqing peeked at the woman's face, and secretly boasted about the voice of others in his heart at this time, although it was inadvertent, but for some reason, his face felt hot.
When I went out, I saw the dark clouds in the sky in the distance, and said in my heart: "I can't get out of the door, I'm afraid it's going to rain." He turned back again.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard another person say, "So what? I have seen the snow sword out of its sheath once." "It turns out that there are a few people talking about swords.
Another person said with a Cantonese accent: "The Molten Ice Sword, I have also seen it, once I went to my grandmother's house, it was when I was young, I walked halfway, through a jungle, suddenly heard someone fighting in the forest, I hid behind a tree to watch, and saw three people fighting around one person, three people outside using knives, one of them using a sword." I saw that the man in the middle waved the sword, and suddenly there seemed to be a Milky Way in front of him, and the three people who made the knife only lightly touched the Milky Way, and I heard the three rings of Dangdang, and then I looked at it, the three knives had been broken, but the sword was fine at all. ”
One person said: "What you say is not true, if you want to say that this sword is a molten ice sword, I will be the first to disbelieve it, the molten ice sword has always been in the hands of the Tongtian ape, the Tongtian ape has already washed his hands in a golden basin, no longer theorizing about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, why did he go to Guangdong and fight with people?"
The man said, "Hey, the Babel Ape is a golden basin to wash his hands, that's good, this sword man, but not Babel Ape." The man asked, "Why? Could it be that someone snatched it away?" Cantonese said, "If you can snatch the Molten Ice Sword, then the person who snatches the sword will have a lot of kung fu to be higher than the Heavenly Ape." This man is none other than the natural son of the Ape!"
The man let out an "oh" and said, "No wonder, it turned out that he passed the sword to his son." The Cantonese man said: "Yes, Tongtian Ape's surname is Yuan, and his son's name is Yuan Hui, but although Tongtian Ape's kung fu is high, he is not angry when he gives birth to a son, and his kung fu is not practiced to a certain level, so he took the sword and went to Guangdong to find someone to take revenge." That's exactly what happened to me. ”
He turned his head and asked the person next to him, and said, "You said that you have seen the martial arts of his father and son, in all fairness, how about Yuan Hui's martial arts?"
The person he asked was silent, but when he heard this, he said "hehe" twice, and said: "Although my martial arts are not good, but if I think about my martial arts when I was seventeen or eighteen years old, I am afraid that it will be higher than Yuan Hui's boss." The Cantonese said: "That's right, I think so, too, but the molten ice sword is too sharp, this Yuan Hui's martial arts are low, but he can fight three with one, you can imagine how powerful this sword is." ”
After listening to them, one person on the other side shouted, "Little Er, a pound of liquor." The shopkeeper sent it in response, and the man slowly poured the wine and said, "You said how powerful the Molten Ice Sword is, but I can't hear it at all, it turns out that you have only seen it." ”
The Cantonese man said angrily: "What do you mean by this, brother?"
The man said, "What do you mean? I mean, no matter how powerful the Molten Ice Sword is, it can't beat the Lihan Sword." The Cantonese said, "Oh, have you ever used the Lihan Sword?"
The man smiled slightly, took another sip of wine, and then said slowly, "Exactly." Cantonese humanitarians: "I would like to hear about it." The man said, "Who forged the Lihan Sword, that is already a missed exam, but the Lihan Sword is the sword made by my master." One asked, "Who is your master?"
The man said, "My master is the famous 'Thunderbolt Messenger' Yue Zhong!"
The first person said: "Oh, it turns out that you are a high-ranking disciple of the Qingcheng faction, and you are disrespectful and disrespectful. The man's face was colorful, and he said: "The high apprentice doesn't dare to be, he has learned a little bit of the teacher, guilt, guilt!"
The Cantonese said: "Since you said it was your master's, how did you fall into the hands of Zhang Yongren?"
The Qingcheng faction said: "This is a shame to say, and it will damage the reputation of our faction." Soon after my master got the sword, he never left his body, and he cherished it very much, and easily kept it from being seen. One day, my uncle came to my master and begged him again and again to lend him the sword to use for a month, and then return it when he was finished. At that time, my uncle had already left my Qingcheng faction and lived the life of an ordinary person. Naturally, my master refused to give it. My uncle pleaded again and again, but he still refused. That night, my uncle took advantage of my master's unpreparedness and stole the sword in the middle of the night, and he has not been heard from since. I heard a few months ago that the sword was in the hands of Zhang Yongren, so I came to distinguish between the real and the fake. Lihan sword, waving like a dragon's chant, my master one day in the house to show everyone, then asked me to go up, I was only lightly to the ground, the bluestone slab left a slender trace, up to see, the sword mark has been down more than three inches, so far the sword mark is still there. ”
Everyone: "Amazing, amazing." ”
Liu Changqing stood and listened for a while, everyone was talking about how to cut copper and chop iron, how to blow the hair and break the blade, and said in his heart: "The same is true of my master's Qingquan sword, there are many swords in this world, why should everyone fight around?" After listening to it for a while, I felt bored, so I went upstairs to rest.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard thunder outside, and a heavy rain poured in. Mr. Shu and Mr. Du came to their room again, and the two were betting on whether the rain could fall for three days, and they were arguing.
Which one came and went quickly, and in the evening, the heavy rain stopped abruptly. Mr. Du won the bet, he was very happy, and pulled Liu Changqing to drink.
In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, seeing the continuous sound of firecrackers in Jiangling City all day, everyone's faces were beaming, and at night, the lights were bright, although Liu Changqing was accompanied by Shu Du and the two, but there was always no atmosphere of the New Year in previous years, and he was depressed, so he left Shu Du and the two and walked on the street by himself.
After walking for a long time, casually thinking about the past, two horses passed by, the two horses ran very fast, and immediately one of them shouted: "Your grandmother's, is the dog blind?
Liu Changqing was furious, and said in his heart: "I'm angry and have nowhere to spill, you two good boys will come to provoke me!" After following for more than 20 miles, Liu Changqing felt tired and sweated profusely. Seeing the two of them go to a manor and jump off the horse, Liu Changqing hurriedly hid, and when he saw the two of them knocking on the door vigorously, a child servant came out, spied left and right, and let the two in.
Liu Changqing said in his heart: "These people are sneaky during the New Year, but they don't look like good people. "I climbed the courtyard wall, and I was about to jump into the manor, but I saw the brilliant lights inside, a lively scene, and I didn't dare to jump down for fear of being discovered, and I bowed down on the wall. Only then did I realize that the estate occupies a huge area and is extremely luxuriously decorated. Only he saw a courtyard, there are more than 30 acres of land, there are two rockeries in the garden, the center is a pond, the corridor on both sides is bent and bent, the lights in the corridor are bright, the strange flowers and plants under the corridor shine under the light, there are swings, there are trees, there are fountains. Liu Changqing saw this scenery and sighed: "This is really much better than my Golden Sect, even if it is the Zhenhai Dart Bureau, it is not as good as a courtyard of others." ”
Liu Changqing was sighing to himself, and suddenly a man in black appeared behind the rockery in the southeast, and the man in black was masked, leaning against the wall, and quickly rushed to the direction of the inner hall. Liu Changqing smiled dumbly: "This person came earlier than me." There are a lot of people in this village!"
Liu Changqing went to climb over the courtyard wall of other people's houses for the New Year, which was the first time that it was unprecedented. I thought that the two of them just scolded him a few words, and then gave up. Suddenly, the two of them in the village jointly carried an iron cage out, and could vaguely see that the iron cage was a behemoth, Liu Changqing was lying on the west courtyard wall, only to see these two people stop in the middle of a few big trees not far in front of him, and one of them scolded in his mouth: "I knew that it was so hard, Lao Tzu wouldn't come!" Another person said: "Senior brother, that's one hundred taels, you just haven't eaten or drunk for ten years, and you can't earn so much, right?"
The first person said: "Even if you can't make it, you don't have to do this kind of hard work." Liu Changqing quietly raised his body, only to see that the two of them took two shovels from nowhere, dug them up, dug them up for a while, and then dug out a hole and lifted the things in the cage and put them in.
Liu Changqing's heart sank, and he saw that the two of them carried out a corpse!
Liu Changqing has heard and seen many murders and arsons in the rivers and lakes, such as killing people and burying the body in the yard of his house, which is never heard of. At this time, the atmosphere did not dare to come out, for fear that the two people below would look at him. It was easy to wait until the two of them finished burying the body, and saw another person flying out of the inner hall, his body forming a straight line, and falling heavily to the ground. Liu Changqing fixed his eyes and saw that it was the man in black who had just entered, and when he was discovered at this time, he must have been beaten out, just looking at the strength of the person who beat him, he was also a master.
The man in black was very good at light skills, he was knocked to the ground, knowing that he was invincible, his body rolled on the ground a few times, suddenly jumped up, jumped out of the wall, and ran away.
One person walked out of the hall, Liu Changqing saw that he looked black and thin, and saw that the man in black had already fled, and shouted outward: "Shameless bastard! Despicable villain! Eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, come to steal the sword, and don't pee to see yourself!" Seeing that the two people had just buried their bodies, he asked, "Where did the man in black run from there just now?" The two said: "Jump out of the west courtyard wall." The man said, "You two stay in the courtyard and keep your mind, but don't let people in again." ”
When Liu Changqing saw this scene, he gave up and jumped off the wall. He thought to himself: "Could this be Zhang Yongren's mansion?" This man in black came to steal the sword, so naturally he was stealing the four swords of ice, snow, water and cold. Hurry up to the main entrance to see, there are two big characters "Zhangfu" on the door, and there is a layer of bordered gold frames around the gold characters. I knew it in my heart, and scolded myself for being confused, except for Zhang Yongren in this Jiangling, I am afraid that it will be difficult for others to have such a huge and extravagant manor. He called a group of men to guard the door for him, thinking that the buried man had come to steal the sword.
I am also secretly fortunate in my heart, if I jumped recklessly just now, I will inevitably be regarded as a thief, I don't know how many people are in the inner hall, there will be a meeting tomorrow, people must be indispensable tonight, even if they are not killed by everyone, they will be beaten half-disabled. I also thought that although Zhang Yongren was a businessman, he was not soft-hearted, and he must have bullied the good people in ordinary times.
Liu Changqing saw that the two people who insulted him just now did not bring the horse into the Zhang Mansion, and he didn't know what the reason was. Thinking of the appearance of the two of them flying and domineering, they secretly ran over, untied the two ropes that tied the horses, kicked them twice, and the two horses were in pain, neighed a few times, ran forward, and quickly disappeared in the night.
He had just let the two horses go, and he scolded himself for being a fool. When I came, I ran for more than 20 miles, this good horse doesn't want it, wouldn't it be that I have to walk back again? Fortunately, there are no important things in the inn, tomorrow morning anyway, I will hold a meeting of ice and snow and water cold in Zhangfu, so I will stay here for one night, anyway, even if I return to the Anping Inn, Shu Du and the two are always around me, and they are not quiet.
Liu Changqing was not very interested in the sword, but in order to find the owner of Yanshan Villa, the owner of Shen Zhuang asked him if he knew a person named Xiao Tianhua, and asked him if he had mistransmitted information when he was young and asked Xiao Tianhua to kill his beloved wife. It seems that Lord Shen Zhuang did not come to Jiangling. There are a lot of people who practice swords in the rivers and lakes, among the ten people, there are at least six people who make swords, this Shen Zhuang master is famous for "Huiyan Thirteen Swords", there is no reason not to visit the sword, tomorrow morning, you will definitely be able to see.
Liu Changqing was the same gourd again, climbed to sleep on the tree, the sound of firecrackers came from the distance, he was in a foreign place, he was really lonely, and he couldn't sleep. Suddenly, the door of Zhangfu opened, and I saw a long-bearded old man with cautious steps, coming out of the inside, closing the door, and trotting south with a smoke, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
About an hour later, hearing the crackling sound that shook the sky, Liu Changqing was startled, it was the cannon in the Zhangfu that was being fired, and a large number of fireworks rushed up to the sky from the courtyard, exploding and scattering in the air, the color was bright, it was extremely beautiful, and it was put off for half an hour, and it still did not stop.
The more beautiful this firecracker looks, the more Liu Changqing misses his master and mother. Thinking of the Master's appearance towards him, he felt bored, so he jumped down from the tree and walked away.
I don't know how far I went, the fireworks of Zhangfu are still flying in the sky, and this Zhang Yongren's extravagant life can be seen. Suddenly, I heard an old man's voice: "I...... I will never say it, please don't kill me......"
Liu Changqing was stunned, there are really thorns in this river and lake, it seems that no matter when, he can always bump into something unpeaceful, even the Chinese New Year is no exception, following the prestige, a flower cannon exploded in the distance, the light was incomparable, Liu Changqing saw a person as if he had just seen the long-bearded old man who came out of Zhangfu. Then he jumped lightly, and jumped on a cypress tree, which was so lush in the cold winter that he jumped up and found that the branches and leaves were too dense, and he hid in them, and he could not see anything underneath.
Another young voice said, "Hmph, my father paid a lot of money to invite you here, and said that you can go back on the second day of the Lunar New Year to prevent someone from leaking secrets, don't you know?"
The old man said: "Yes, yes, Childe, I know, if I don't agree, I won't come, just ......" The young man said: "It's just what?
The old man said: "No, no, no, no, I would never dare to do this, but my little grandson suddenly had a high fever at home, I am Langzhong, I have to go back, I want to wait for me to prescribe some medicine, that is." ”
The young man was furious and asked, "What? Your grandson has a fever?"
The old man said: "Exactly, ask for the son's ......"
The young man asked, "How do you know?" Did you sneak out? Or did someone sneak in and send you a message?" the old man was dumbfounded, and the young man kept asking. The old man cried: "I didn't run out, I told my family that I had something to do. ”
The young man scolded and asked, "Since your family doesn't know, how can they summon you?" Aren't you full of nonsense?" The old man said, "Yes...... It's Song Xiaoqi...... He used to come to my shop often to get medicine, so he knew that my son and daughter-in-law saw me going out for many days, and they didn't say where they went, but asked around, yes...... Song Xiaoqi knew about it when he went out, and when he came to tell me, I asked him to report the news and spread some family words. ”
The young man said angrily: "This little turtle, ******, came to beg me back then, and I saw that he was pitiful, so I let him watch the courtyard gate." How do you know such a wolf's heart and lungs!" Lao Re was silent, and after a while, the young man asked, "In this way, your son and daughter-in-law know what you are doing in Zhangfu?"
The old man said, "Really...... I really don't know...... I asked Song Xiaoqi to pass the word, it was just to report safety, so that they didn't have to worry and would go back after a while. The young man said, "Hehe, Meng Langzhong, are you not keeping your promises first, or are I not keeping your promises first?"
Liu Changqing said in his heart: "It's not a good thing!" hurriedly rushed down and shouted: "Stop!"
When the young man saw that there was someone lurking beside him, he was obviously still a kung fu master, so he was taken aback, and slashed at Meng Langzhong with a sword. Liu Changqing was in a hurry, took out a hard object from his arms, used his internal force, and smashed it on the hilt of the man's sword, and immediately hit the sword, the man missed a blow, the sword fell to the ground, without the slightest hesitation, followed by a kick to Meng Langzhong's chest, Meng Langzhong lay back, and the young man hurriedly ran.
Liu Changqing didn't chase after him, he came to check Meng Lang's injuries, and saw that he was hit by a kick in the chest, although it was fine, his head hit the sharp stone, and he bled a lot. Liu Changqing said: "Meng Langzhong, you hold on, I'll take you to see the injury!"
Meng Langzhong's mind was clear, and he said: "Little brother, I'm afraid I can't do it, please tell my family and run away quickly, otherwise the people of this Zhangfu will definitely kill them, please." ”
Liu Changqing saw that he was miserable and asked, "Where is your home?" Meng Langzhong said: "My home is in Bailiu Lane, please don't take me back, just quickly pass the word over, let my son and daughter-in-law run away with my grandson, and never go back to Jiangling again." ”
Liu Changqing said gloomily: "Okay, why did they kill you? Who is it from Zhangfu?"
Meng Langzhong's eyes widened, and he suddenly asked, "You...... Are you here to participate in the Ice and Snow Water Cold Conference?" Liu Changqing said: "Exactly, this conference is so famous!" Meng Langzhong said: "Outsiders know it, and besides, I am a local." Little brother, you must not participate. Liu Changqing asked, "Why is that? I just look at the sword and leave, what's wrong?"
Meng Langzhong said: "I don't know, but there must be some conspiracy hidden in it, four months ago, the Zhang Mansion invited more than 40 of our Lang Zhong ......" Liu Changqing was puzzled and asked: "More than 40 people? Why did the Zhang Mansion invite so many Lang Zhong?" Meng Lang Zhong said: "It's not all Lang Zhong, there are also many famous doctors from other places, little brother, don't ask." Zhang Fu asked us to make medicine in his secret place, I am afraid that it is just for this conference. ”
Liu Changqing raised his body a little higher and put it on his lap, Meng Langzhong was very grateful, and said, "Little brother, thank you." Zhang Yongren let us make the pill, the name is 'Heart-Destroying Ten Thousand Withered Gu', the main recipe is toad crisp, which is added with bitter bean grass, red lady moth, etc., these formulas, symptoms appear half an hour after eating, convulsions, vomiting and diarrhea, the skin is blue and purple, if the poisoning has been deep, you must use a unique formula, if you take it for less than an hour, I will teach you a way, eat three raw eggs immediately after vomiting, and drink it with licorice and mung bean decoction. If you take this medicine, if you don't take the antidote after three days, the poison will attack your heart, and you are afraid that Hua Tuo will be reincarnated, and there will be no way. ”
Liu Changqing asked: "Meng Langzhong, could it be that Zhang Yongren let all the heroes of the rivers and lakes come here to appreciate the sword, in order to harm everyone?" Meng Langzhong shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just make medicine." ”
Suddenly, there were shouts behind him, and Meng Langzhong said, "They ...... They're coming...... Please save my family!" Liu Changqing said: "I have never been soft when I see such heartless and lungless things, and when I kill the enemy, we will retreat together." ”
While Liu Changqing was talking, he saw the enemy holding torches, and there were more than 100 people in all directions, and he secretly complained in his heart, Meng Langzhong shouted: "You don't care about me, go to Bailiu Lane to inform my family!" Seeing that Liu Changqing was still hesitating, Meng Langzhong saw a big stone and hit it hard.
Liu Changqing hurriedly started to escape, ran for a while, and no one chased him, found a way to someone, said "congratulations", he just came to beg for saliva to drink, the family had not yet fallen asleep, and brought him a bowl of water with a puzzled face, Liu Changqing asked where Meng Langzhong's house was in Bailiu Lane, and rushed over.
I knocked on the door for a long time, and someone inside opened it, Liu Changqing explained the reason for the matter, but his son didn't believe it, Liu Changqing was bitter, they were willing to pack up the package and leave, Liu Changqing saw a doll about ten years old wrapped in the quilt, trembling, listened to them, and asked: "Is my grandfather dead?" Liu Changqing felt pain in his heart and asked, "Little friend, what's your name?"
The child said, "My name is Meng Keyin, what's the name of my eldest brother?" Liu Changqing said: "My surname is Liu, my name is Liu Changqing." The child said: "This is a coincidence, my family lives in Bailiu Lane, this willow character, grandpa taught me many times, I learned." Liu Changqing saw that this child was obedient and well-behaved, and he liked it very much.
After the family of three cleaned up, Liu Changqing gave them twenty taels of silver and said, "This chapter Yongren is extremely vicious, you must not come back to die." The Meng family thanked them again and again.
After Liu Changqing passed on the message, his heart itched with hatred, this Zhang Yongren said that let all the heroes of the rivers and lakes come here to participate in the ice and snow water cold conference, and found Dr. Langzhong to make poison pills for himself early, what does that mean, it must be to bring these heroes together and gather and annihilate them. He has thousands of acres and thousands of acres and a lot of wealth, so why should he do such a despicable thing? What is the conspiracy? He was puzzled, and said in his heart: "I will find out when I go to his house tomorrow that no matter what conspiracy he has, he must not be allowed to succeed." ”
After a while, I saw several people come to Meng Langzhong's house, broke into the door, couldn't find anyone, and burned Meng's house clean. Liu Changqing hid aside and watched, gritted his teeth and said: "This family is just a Lang Zhong who sees a doctor, so he will cut the grass and eradicate the roots with this ruthless hand, if I don't burn the Zhangfu cleanly, I will be in vain!"
