Chapter 143: Eight Ghosts in Shu
The five major sects gathered in Shaolin are also spreading in the rivers and lakes, and gossip always spreads faster than heroic deeds.
Of course, this sensational event also reached the ears of Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong, although they didn't know much about the truth of the facts, but looking at what happened before and after during this period of time, Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong could probably make some guesses.
Wan Lai is silent, Liulin Town seems to be much quieter than usual, there are fewer hawkers, fewer prodigal sons, and fewer wine shops, Liulin, which has just fallen into the night, is a little abnormal, after all, it is an eventful autumn to hide!
Suddenly, a steady drizzle of rain mixed with the cold wind of deep winter, although the rain was not heavy enough to wet the clothes, but five people had the heart to observe the night scene.
At the end of the street, there were eight hastily figures, their faces grim and walking like a swift wind, but it could still be seen that the eight people were a little flustered, after all, their steps were already messy.
The leader walked in the front, and the other seven followed, their eyes kept looking around, and the plackets of their clothes had already been wet, perhaps because the plackets were originally wet.
Suddenly, a person walked quickly to the person in charge and said: "Big brother, now that it's night and the drizzle, there is basically no one in the willow forest, we might as well find a place to rest for a night, the brothers have been running around day and night for the past few days and have never closed their eyes, and now that the work is done, it is time for everyone to have a good rest." ”
The leader stopped, looked up at the sky and drizzle, his eyes were already exhausted, and he was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Okay, let's find a place to stay here in Liulin, and we will go again tomorrow morning." ”
With that, the eight of them walked forward slowly, looking around as they went, the wine shop here was basically closed, and the inn was basically full at this hour. I didn't see a restaurant with lights on until I walked to the end of West Street, which was small but sheltered from the wind and rain.
The eight did not hesitate and strode in. The lobby of the restaurant was empty, and it wasn't until the eight of them sat down that they found that there were two people in the corner, and these two people were not strangers to Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong.
The eyes of the leader were intertwined with Wen and Duan, and the three of them looked at each other for a long time, although Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong knew these eight people, but these eight people were familiar with Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong.
There was a hint of fear and panic in the eyes of the leader of the leader, and he immediately turned around and beckoned the other seven brothers to sit down, and the eight of them muttered something in a low voice, but they could only hear the muttering but not what they said.
Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong stared at this side for a long time, although they didn't know whether the other party was good or bad, but at least the outsiders who appeared in Liulin at this time would never be simple, Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong were looking at these eight people in their own ways in their hearts.
In the lobby, the atmosphere was jealous and awkward, and although the eight people sometimes shouted and sometimes whispered to cover up the panic in their hearts, it was still not difficult to find the panic and panic in their hearts.
Duan Yunhong whispered to Wen Yunfeng and said, "Brother Wen, these eight people are dressed strangely and look panicked, there must be something wrong. ”
Wen Yunfeng replied in a low voice: "I also feel that these eight people's martial arts are extremely high, but their pace is disordered and their middle qi is slightly lacking when speaking, they must be extremely tired in the past few days." ”
Duan Yunhong said frankly: "Could this have anything to do with what happened on the rivers and lakes today?"
Wen Yunfeng shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet, but I believe that if they have a problem, they will definitely show their feet!"
With that, the two stopped talking and drank quietly.
The eight people here were also muttering to Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong, they knew what they had committed, and now the only thing they were worried about was how to leave?
The Night Man, who was sitting to the left of the man in charge, asked, "Big brother, what should we do now?"
The leader shook his head and said, "The two of them must be discussing us, we must be calm and not show our feet." ”
Another said, "Shall we get out of here right away?"
The leader at least shook his head again and said, "If we leave at this time, it will prove that we really have a problem, if Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong chase after us, I believe it will be difficult for us to escape from Liulin Town." On the contrary, these two people call themselves chivalrous, and as long as we are calm and quiet, they can't do anything to us?"
After that, the eight people stopped talking, and some of them talked and laughed and began to drink.
Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong had no intention of leaving, and it was even more impossible for these eight people to leave first, so the two sides were consumed like this.
At this moment, the shopkeeper was holding a teapot and was about to refill the hot water for the eight guest officers, when suddenly one of them happened to get up and collided with the teapot in the shopkeeper's second-hand.
This man's true nature was revealed, and he scolded, "You fuck, every eye!"
Very angry, the voice was also very loud, Wen Yunfeng heard it, Duan Yunhong also heard it, and this scolding sentence seemed to have a strong northern Shu accent.
The shopkeeper hurriedly apologized, but this person still refused to give up, but fortunately the person who took the lead stopped him, so he did not continue the dispute.
Wen Yunfeng looked at Duan Yunhong and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, can you hear what accent this is?"
Duan Yunhong was silent for a while and said in a low voice, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the accent of the northern Shu region. ”
Wen Yunfeng nodded.
Duan Yunhong said in surprise: "Could it be that this matter really has something to do with the Border Punishment Demon Sect?"
Wen Yunfeng smiled and said, "Wait for me to go and test it." ”
With that, Wen Yunfeng twisted the wine jar in his left hand and the wine bowl in his right hand, and walked towards the eight people.
Walking in front of the person who had just scolded and was unrelenting, Wen Yunfeng filled the wine and said: "It is also fate to be in Liulin late at night, and it just so happens that there are only two tables of us here, and Wen Yunfeng wants to make friends with you in the next place." ”
The man stood up, looked at Wen Yunfeng in horror and then looked at the person who took the lead, the person who took the lead nodded to the person, and then he raised the wine bowl and drank it.
Wen Yunfeng smiled and said, "Brother is really a bold person, just listened to Brother Tai, shouldn't he be a local?"
The man didn't know how to answer, and smiled a little awkwardly.
This is the person who took the lead stood up, looked at Wen Yunfeng and said: "Wen Shaoxia is really good ears, we are from the south, and we are going to Kaifeng to do some fruit business, but I didn't expect to encounter a robber and have no choice but to turn back." ”
Looking at the person who took the lead, Wen Yunfeng smiled and said, "Brother Tai is a refreshing person, I also have to toast you." ”
After saying that, Wen Yunfeng stretched out his hand and prepared to pour wine for the other party, and the person who took the lead also vaguely felt that Wen Yunfeng was beginning to doubt himself, so he refused again and again. In the midst of the two hand-in-hand, back and forth, the wine jar shattered to the ground with a "bang".
At this time, Yun Hong opened his mouth and said: "Brother Wen, come back, a few brothers don't come reluctantly if they are in a hurry." ”
After that, Wen Yunfeng also followed Duan Yunhong's words, did not force the other party to drink, and slowly walked back.
These eight people could also realize in their hearts that the other party was testing themselves, so it seemed impossible to stay here quietly, and the eight of them said goodbye to Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong while walking towards the door.
Looking at the eight people who left, Duan Yunhong asked, "Brother Wen, should we chase after us?"
Wen Yunfeng poured the wine in the bowl and said, "Don't worry, let them go farther, so as not to disturb the people here." ”
With that, the two continued to drink calmly. As soon as the eight of them left the restaurant, they quickened their pace and fled to the west.
The night slowly deepened, the rain slowly became smaller, the moonlight slowly descended on the earth, and the eight people who ran wildly all the way were a little tired. This place is also twenty miles away from Liulin, and the eight people looked back to see that Wen and Duan did not follow, and their hearts were also much more steady.
When they turned around again, the scene in front of them made them unbelievable and frightened, Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong were standing quietly no more than ten steps away from them.
Wen Yunfeng smiled and said, "Are the eight looking for the two of us?"
The leader was surprised and said, "Are you humans or ghosts?"
Duan Yunhong smiled and said, "Of course we are human, but a few of us are quite fast, and it took twenty miles to catch up with you, which doesn't seem like an ordinary businessman can do." ”
The person who took the lead also felt in his heart that the other party had already recognized him, but it was impossible to escape, and he would definitely not be able to beat the other party, so he had to quibble and delay time.
But almost every word of the person who took the lead was defeated by Wen and Duan, and he couldn't find anything to say no matter how much he wanted to say?
The leader secretly said to himself in his heart: "I guess I can't pass their level today, the two of them must want to ask something if they don't do it, the nine elders are not thin with our brothers, even if they die today, they must not disrupt their plans, and now that the wood is in the boat, they can't afford to make much waves." ”
Thinking of this, the person who took the lead is not ready to perform any further. Looking at Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong, he smiled and said: "Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong really live up to their reputations, it seems that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are true, and you two are the absolute rising stars in the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains." ”
Wen Yunfeng said coldly: "Many things, if you prepare well in advance and the story is more vivid, maybe we will believe it." ”
The person who took the lead smiled and said: "Those are no longer important, now that the wood has been completed, the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains will soon collapse." ”
With that, the leader burst out laughing.
Duan Yunhong asked angrily, "Who are you instructed by, and what kind of conspiracy is behind this plague?"
The leader smiled and said, "I don't know a lot of things, some things are not as complicated as you think, and they are not as simple as you think, and this is the only thing we can tell you." ”
After that, the person who took the lead looked at the brothers behind him and said, "Brothers, the eight ghosts in Shu never die for anyone, and they never give their lives to anyone casually. Today is also the first time in our lives that we have run away, and I hope this is the last. ”
With that, the people behind him pulled out their soft swords like belts from their waists, and braved the slightest chill in the moonlight of the deep winter.
But when the sword is unsheathed, any speech turns pale, and only those who survive have the persuasive power to continue speaking.
Wen Yunfeng and Duan Yunhong weren't going to ask anything more.
