Chapter 39: Falling into the Hands of the Adversary Again
Li Xuan was happy when he saw that Shen Wuxing and Ah Ying were unharmed, and when he heard Duan Xiaotian say this, he wondered: "Brother is polite, why bother asking for each other?" Duan Xiaotian said: "You should indeed ask for each other." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBrother Li saved my life twice, and I should have repaid it in the future. But I really can't get through it......" Speaking of this, his face was sad, and he saw that Li Xuan's eyes were full of sadness, and he sighed: "You also know that Zhuge Dongfang's cold ice palm is extremely poisonous, and the meridians of the palm are all damaged, not to mention that I took Su Feiyan's poison pill, although I was rescued by Hou Gongzi, but the poison entered the abdomen and died. ”
Duan Xiaotian looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "Originally, I took the Yuxiang Life Renewal Pill given to you by Miss A Ying, and I may be able to prolong my life for a few years, but unfortunately I did my own wrong, and unfortunately my legs were crushed by the boulder, even if I live, I am also a wasted person!"
Li Xuan hurriedly said, "Brother, don't say it." Let's go down the mountain. As he spoke, he leaned down and was about to carry Duan Xiaotian on his back.
Duan Xiao pushed Li Xuan away and said, "You are also injured, if you go down the mountain by yourself, you may be able to escape, but if you want to carry me away with you, you can't." Alas...... I can't let Brother Li repay my hatred for Su Feiyan, but there is a big matter right now that I want you to help. Without waiting for Li Xuan to promise himself, he laboriously pulled out the bull ear sharp knife from his waist, aimed it at the outside of his hip bone, and slashed it down. Seeing this, Li Xuan exclaimed, and was about to stop it, but it was too late. He saw Duan Xiaotian slash with a knife, and the skin and flesh on the outside of his hip bone immediately turned over, overflowing with blood, and it was miserable.
Duan Xiaotian snorted, threw away the ox ear sharp knife, endured the severe pain, used his hand as tweezers, slowly took out a slender bamboo tube from the wound and stuffed it into Li Xuan's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, this is the rich dart entrusted to me by Hou Gongzi." ”
Li Xuan took the bamboo pipe and saw that the bamboo pipe was less than half an inch long, not as thick as a little thumb, and as light as a feather. The two ends of the bamboo pipe are sealed with wax mud, and the seal is covered with a small seal, and the seal is the word "Hou" in the seal body. Duan Xiaotian looked at the bloody bamboo pipe, and suddenly burst into tears, and choked up: "Everyone is competing for wealth and wealth." Fugui Dart, alas, this damn dart is in my body......" paused, stopped his sadness, and sighed: "This year's Laba Festival, the leaders of all gangs in the world will secretly gather in Mount Tai to hold a world hero conference. Is Brother Li willing to help me, a dying man?"
Li Xuan said: "How can I help you?"
Duan Xiaotian said: "Before the August 15th Festival, go to Linzi, Shandong, find Mr. Li Mi, the Duke of Pushan, and hand over the bamboo pipe to him personally. If you miss the time, the gentleman will be less prepared, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to do anything at the Laba Heroes Conference!" Li Mi, the Duke of Pushan, said secretly: "That is a first-class criminal wanted by the imperial court! What does this mysterious Hou Gongzi have to do with him? What are they going to do at the Laba Conference?" After a pause, he said in his heart: "Back then, Li Mi, the Duke of Pushan, actually put aside his rich and noble days, but he wanted to assist Yang Xuangan in the uprising. How do you know that after the failure of the uprising, it has become a thorn in the side of the current imperial court, and since then it has been pursued and wandered around, and it is impossible to live in peace. When he was in Chang'an, he heard that this person was a thief and had close ties with Zhai Rang, the owner of Wagang Village, but he still had no fixed residence...... It is rumored that he was indeed wandering in the Shandong area. But this place is still thousands of miles away from Shandong, don't say that this person's whereabouts are uncertain, looking for a needle in a haystack, even if you know his whereabouts, in terms of distance alone, to find this person before August 15 and send the bamboo pipe, I am afraid it will be difficult to climb to the sky...... What to do?"
Li Xuan felt like a numb heart, and didn't know what to do, so he said in his heart: "If you agree to come down like this, not only will you completely step into the rivers and lakes, but I am afraid that you will also be in the company of anti-thieves and become a key criminal of the imperial court." But right now, Duan Xiaotian is seriously injured and dying, if he rejects a dying person, how can he bear it......" He was at a loss, and suddenly heard a person behind him say: "Anti-thief Li Mi? Taishan Conference? It seems that my trip is worthwhile, bumping into two thieves who are fornicating with thieves?" Li Duan and the others were shocked when they heard this, and when they looked back, they saw a person slowly walking out of the thorns in the middle of the slope. This person is none other than the old man who set up a stall to sell tea on the side of the Loess Road, pretending to be Yuan Wenmen but was beaten by Shen Wudor and fled.
Yuan Wenmen seemed to have suffered from the mysterious mechanism in the forest, his hair was unkempt, his clothes were in tatters, and his right hand hung on his chest. Even so, his steps were still extremely fast, his eyes were red, and he only deceived the two of them in a flash, stretched out his rough left hand, sneered, and smiled gloomily at Li Xuan: "It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there." Hey...... Bring the rich dart quickly, and if you don't, you two will die without a place to be buried. ”
Although Li Xuan knew that he was not really 'Shadowless Crane' Yuan Wenmen, he still gasped when he was bullied. Because from the half-slope here, at least a dozen zhang away, this person was embarrassed, but when he came over, he didn't make any movement, just a slight shake to the front, this light work, is indeed terrifying. At this time, this old man who impersonated Yuan Wenmen had no lazy look on his face for a long time, and his eyes as small as nails stared at Li Xuan and Duan Xiaotian, full of evil anger.
He looked at Li Duan and the others, and saw that one was pale in shock, and the other was lying on the ground with blood, dying, and laughed proudly: "This is really a blessing from heaven for me......" Li Xuan saw him like this, only felt that he was like two people before, and his heart was strange, and asked: "Who is the senior? I think you must be a master of the world." If you don't save you when you see death, how can you force us and do things that fall into the well?" Before the old man flew to the top of the slope, he was still a little wary of the two of them, but when he saw their embarrassed appearance, he naturally relaxed, and when he heard Li Xuan ask himself, he laughed strangely and said, "You want to know who I am?" hehe...... Young and ignorant, it doesn't hurt to tell you. ”
Li Xuan said: "Senior, please speak." The old man nodded and said, "The old man's surname is Lin, and his name is on the east and below." When Li Xuan heard this, he said secretly: "Sure enough, as Shen Wuxing's predecessors said, this person is Lin Dongtu, the disciple of Xie Tianlan's father in Yingtan, Jiangxi Yingtan. ”
Seeing that Li Xuan was silent, Lin Dongtu laughed strangely and said, "How do you know the name of the old man?" Li Xuan nodded, but then shook his head again, and said, "The younger generation has only recently known." Lin Dongtu said 'oh', very strange, and said: "I haven't been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, thinking that the world has forgotten me." How can you know my name when you are young?"
Li Xuan said: "After you fought with Shen Wuxing Senior before, Senior Shen guessed your identity. Lin Dongtu nodded and said, "I still haven't hidden it from him." Duan Xiaotian on the side heard that he was Lin Dongtu, and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you living in seclusion in the desert? Why did you come to Guanzhong and pretend to be Yuan Wenmen?"
Lin Dongtu looked at the two of them, looking like they were tied up, knowing that they were already meat on the chopping board, and could only be slaughtered by themselves, he relaxed and said, "I shouldn't have told you two juniors about my life experience. He looked at Li Xuan and said with a smile: "I remember that you once had the heart to save me, and if you die to understand, it will be regarded as repaying your friendship." Second, I will remember that you were able to let me get this rich dart before I died, and told you, and we will tear each other off, and no one owes anyone more. Hey...... I will definitely leave you a whole corpse, and if you are asked about it when you get to Hades, you will have an explanation!"
A gust of wind swept by, and the cliffs shook violently, but for a while, they were quiet again.
Lin Dongtu said slowly: "When I was only a teenager, I was already under the door of Xie Xin's 'Demon Cloud Eagle Claw' in Yingtan, Jiangxi, and became one of his disciples. People in the rivers and lakes say that Xie Xin is bold by nature, generous, and a person who can be trusted, but the world likes superficial things too much, and is deceived by his carefully disguised appearance. This man is not only narrow-minded, but also mercenary. In addition to being old-fashioned and strict with his family, he regarded his disciples as pigs and dogs in captivity, beating and scolding at the lightest, and serving the rules and punishments at the worst, so I have been learning from him for more than ten years, and I don't know how many times I have been beaten and scolded by him, and the heaviest one was kicked and broke three ribs, but when I thought that after I became an artist, I could make a difference in the rivers and lakes, so I endured it. Li Xuanjian's expression was solemn, full of sadness, and he was very dissatisfied with his teacher in his words, and even called his teacher by name, which was quite surprising. If he really taught me skills, how could I not even beat Shen Wufear......? I'm not Shen Wu's opponent, so don't say that I want to deal with Yan Wuxian, an old thief......" The words were full of indignation and helplessness. Li Xuan looked at Lin Dongtu and felt more and more that there was an unknown story in it.
Duan Xiaotian's mind was sometimes sober and sometimes confused due to his leg injury, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but ask in a loud voice: "If according to what you said, Xie Xinxi's predecessors, who were chivalrous in Jiangxi in the past, are a hypocrite, a hypocrite, a hypocrite?"
Lin Dongtu's thin cheeks twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "Seeing that you are not very old, you still know something about the rivers and lakes of the previous dynasty...... Ha ha...... Yes, this Xie Xin is indeed a hypocritical and hypocritical person. You must not know what dozens of his disciples do for him on weekdays? haha...... You can't think of it if you want to. ”
Li Xuan and Duan Xiaotian asked in unison, "What are you doing?" Lin Dongtu said coldly: "Every morning, after the martial arts practice, everyone will receive a bag from Xie Xin, and the bag is Xie Xin's instructions, most of which ask us to go around, or rob or steal some rich businessmen, hehe...... He is actually the most hidden boss of all the Green Forest gangs in Jiangxi. ”
Lin Dongtu saw Li Xuan and Duan Xiaotian with a surprised face, and sneered: "Our name is Master and Apprentice, but we are actually a group of leaders under his Eagle Claw Sect. In addition to teaching us light skills and fighting skills, he also asked us to act ruthlessly and leave nothing alive. Li Xuan and Duan Xiaotian couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, full of doubts for each other, but they also thought: "The affairs of the rivers and lakes are virtual and real, real and false, so the truth of the facts is often not the appearance that can be generalized." Lin Dongtu looked at the two of them, knowing that they would not believe it, but he didn't care: "Within a few years, Xie Xin has accumulated thousands of family properties." Hey, it is said that money is something outside the body, and no matter how much you have, it is just a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron. But Xie Xin is different, he is a mercenary person who loves money as much as his life. He kept asking us to go out and rob, and then show favors to the people in the rivers and lakes to buy his reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and in this way, he became a hero in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes. ”
Li Xuanqi said: "As you said, why did Xie Xin's predecessors want so many treasures? Is it just to leave a good name for himself in the rivers and lakes?"
Lin Dongtu shook his head and said: "At that time, the world was divided into three parts, the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi, and each other was at war all year round, and everyone was in danger. Among them, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was ambitious, and vowed to pacify the Turks, fix the south of the Yangtze River, and unify the world within two or three years, so people like Xie Xin, although he had a huge treasure in his hand, was still a grass man after all, so he planned to take advantage of the troubled times to make a fortune. ”
Li Xuan sighed when he heard this, and said, "The rich buy and sell official positions, and the more they buy, the richer they get. The poor pay for food and get poorer and poorer. The world is like this, don't complain about people's changing minds. Lin Dongtu smiled and said, "You understand the reason, haha...... Do you understand? Whether it is the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, or the Chen Dynasty in the south, as long as any side unifies the world, Xie Xin will judge the situation and present the wealth he has accumulated from the underworld in a timely manner, in exchange for fame, and from then on turn black into white, so that his descendants will be prosperous and rich. Li Xuan nodded and said, "It's human nature to be for your own benefit! Senior Lin, you have been talking for a long time, and it seems that you only have a little bit to do with you. Is there a story behind it?"
Lin Dongtu said: "What do you know? Hey, of course there is a story, and it has a lot to do with me." ”
Li Xuan said: "I want to hear it in detail." Lin Dongtu said: "Since I have peeked into Xie Xin's secret, I think that since he can take wealth from others, why can't I take it from him?" Li Xuan was startled, looked at Lin Dongtu's shriveled and thin appearance, and said in his heart: "Is this considered black eating black?" Lin Dongtu ignored his thoughts, and said: "With such thoughts, I began to pay attention to where his treasure is." A year later, I finally discovered his hidden treasure. Well, therefore, I was secretly planning how to get hold of these treasures, but at this time a wicked man appeared and disrupted my plans. ”
Li Xuan and Duan Xiaotian both said: "A wicked person?"
Lin Dongtu gritted his teeth and said loudly: "It is a wicked person, after this wicked man appeared, he not only seriously injured Xie Xin, but also disrupted my plan, and even took away all the treasures I thought about day and night. Li Xuanqi said: "Who is so powerful that he can defeat the 'Cloud Demon Eagle Claw' Xie Xin's senior?" Lin Dongtu said: "It's Yan Invincible, the evil thief." Li Xuan and Duan Xiaotian were surprised: "Yan is invincible, what is going on?" Lin Dongtu said: "At that time, Yan was invincible and majestic! He served in the court of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and belonged to the leader of the five internal and external prefectures to arrest the world. ”
Li Xuan sighed, and said in his heart: "It turns out that Yan Wushu used to be a member of the official family. ”
Lin Dongtu seemed to be afraid that Li Xuan and the others would not understand, and said: "Naturally, you will not know that the five internal and external governments of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have the greatest power than the duty of robbing the world. Although it is called the World of Anti-Thieves, it is actually under the control of the King of Qi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and is responsible for all arrests and assassinations inside and outside the imperial court. If a person who is not loyal to the court is discovered, even if it is only suspicious, the power of life and death can be exercised. ”
Duan Xiaotian muttered: "That's the yamen that makes the world talk about it!"
Lin Dongtu sighed and said, "Yes, so the people who can serve in this yamen must have extraordinary martial arts." ”
Duan Xiaotian was very disapproving, and said, "Why haven't I heard of other people's names?" I'm afraid that only Yan Wushu is strong in martial arts, right?"
Lin Dongtu glanced at him disdainfully, and said, "You frog at the bottom of the well, what kind of knowledge do you have? Ruyan's invincible martial arts can only be regarded as medium among the general yamen of the anti-theft world, even in the small yamen where he lives, at most he is ranked third. ”
Li Xuan asked in surprise: "He is only ranked third?" Lin Dongtu nodded and said: "The anti-theft world yamen in the Northern Zhou Dynasty Emperor Wu Dynasty is divided into four small yamen: heaven, earth, martial arts, and medicine, and in terms of martial arts, it is divided into four seats: wine, sex, wealth, and qi, and the thief Yan is invincible and belongs to the wealth seat. Hey, he's not the third, could it be the first?" Li Xuan said: "Who are the wine, lust, and qi?" Lin Dongtu seemed unwilling to talk about those people in detail, and said, "Little friend, you should ask me why Yan Wushu wants to fight for Xie Xin's treasure?"
When Duan Xiaotian heard this, as if he suddenly heard a big joke, he laughed and was about to speak, but because of this laugh, his leg hurt his legs, and his face suddenly became as white as paper, and he couldn't speak for a while. Lin Dongtu was full of sarcasm when he heard his laughter, and said angrily: "Boy, why are you laughing...... Tell me, why are you laughing...... Say it!"
