Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Trip to Meizhuang

A few days later, a tall man came to Luzhu Lane, only to see this person wearing white clothes, with a clear appearance, a long white beard under the chin, hanging down on his chest, his eyes were bright, and his face was unrestrained.

Ren Yingying introduced the two to each other, and the group headed for Hangzhou.

The three of them rode on horseback, slowly heading east. After two days of traveling, all three of them felt a little tired. Xiang Wentian hired a big car, went to the edge of the canal, simply abandoned the car and took a boat, and turned south. Along the way, Xiang Wentian spent money like flowing water. After the Yangtze River, the cities on both sides of the canal became more and more prosperous. In the boat for a long time, talk to Wentian about some anecdotes on the rivers and lakes. Many things Wang Jing has never heard of before and heard them with relish. But when it came to the matter of the Demon Sect on the Black Wood Cliff, Xiang Wentian never mentioned it, and Wang Jing knew it and didn't ask much.

After three days of getting along, the two got to know each other a little better, and they no longer felt strange. On this day, I arrived in Hangzhou City. Xiang Wentian put himself and Wang Jing in the boat, landed in the boat, bought three horses, and rode into Hangzhou City. Ren Yingying went to the Yuelai Inn and waited for the two of them.

As the saying goes: "There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below." "Hangzhou was known as Lin'an in ancient times, and it has always been a good place to go. Entering the city, the crowd is sensational, and the sheng song is everywhere. Wang Jing followed Xiang Wentian to the shore of the West Lake, but saw that the blue waves were like mirrors, the weeping willows were blowing the water, and the beauty of the scenery was like a fairyland.

The two men rode along the embankment, and in a short time they dismounted, tied their mounts to the willow trees by the river, and went up the stone steps by the mountain. Xiang Wentian seems to have arrived at the old place, and the path is very familiar. Turning a few corners, there are plum trees everywhere, the old trunk is horizontally oblique, the branches and leaves are dense, imagine the day when the plum blossoms bloom in early spring, the fragrant snow is like the sea, and it is sure that you can not see it endlessly.

Walk through a large piece of plum forest, walk on a bluestone road, come to a large village courtyard with white walls of Zhumen, go close, see the two big characters of "Meizhuang" written outside the gate, and sign the four words of "Yu Yunwen inscription" next to it, revealing a vigorous and heroic spirit.

Xiang Wentian stepped forward, grabbed the polished big copper ring on the door, turned around and whispered to Wang Jing: "Everything is up to me." Wang Jing nodded, only to hear Xiang Wentian knock the copper ring four times, stop once, knock twice, stop once, knock five times, stop again, knock three times, and then put down the copper ring and retreat aside.

After half a ring, the door slowly opened, and two old men in family clothes walked out side by side. The two men had blazing eyes and steady steps. The man on the left bowed down and said, "The two of you are coming to our village, what are you doing?" Xiang Wentian said: "The disciples of Songshan and Huashan have something to ask to see the four friends of Jiangnan and the four seniors. The man said, "My master has never seen a guest." As he spoke, he wanted to close the door.

Xiang Wentian took out an object from his bosom and unfolded it, only to see that the treasure in his hand was shining brightly, which was a five-color pennant inlaid with pearls and gems. Wang Jing had seen it in Liu Zhengfeng's mansion and knew that it was the Wuyue Order Banner of the Songshan Sect's Left Alliance Leader, and wherever the Ling Banner went, it was as if the Left Alliance Lord had arrived in person, and the Wuyue Sword Sect had all obeyed the orders of the flag bearer.

When the two family members saw this flag, their expressions changed slightly, and they said in unison: "The order flag of the Songshan faction's left alliance leader?"

"Exactly. Xiang Wentian replied. The man on the right replied: "The four friends of Jiangnan and the Wuyue Sword Sect have never had anything to do with each other, even if the master of the Songshan Left Alliance arrives in person, my master may not be ...... Not necessarily...... Hey. Although he didn't say it, he probably didn't want to sell face, but he didn't want to offend people, so he didn't finish speaking.

Xiang Wentian smiled, put away the order flag, and said, "My left nephew's order flag is just used to bluff people." What kind of people are the four seniors in Jiangnan, they will never take this Lingqi in their eyes...... It's just that I haven't had the opportunity to meet the four seniors in Jiangnan, and I took this order flag out, but it was just a token. ”

The two of them really softened a lot, and they wondered: "Your Excellency is the senior uncle of the leader of the Left Alliance?"

Xiang Wentian smiled again and said, "Exactly." Below is a nobody in the martial arts, and the two of them don't know each other. I think that Brother Ding slashed the four tyrants with one palm under Qilian Mountain, and subdued the two heroes with one sword; Brother Shi rescued orphans in Hengjiang, Hubei, and killed 13 big leaders of the Qinglong Gang with a purple gold gossip knife and splashed the blood of the Hanshui River. ”

Wang Jing knew that one of the two people was named Ding Jian, nicknamed "Yizi Electric Sword", and the other was called Shi Lingwei, nicknamed "Wulu God". Unexpectedly, Xiang Wentian knew everything about it, and sighed secretly.

Ding Shi and the two listened to him first praise the four friends of Jiangnan, and then praised the two of themselves, they were also very happy, and laughed a few times with him, seeing that although this bald fat man had a hateful face, he spoke and behaved quite well, and he was indeed not an ordinary person, he was Zuo Lengchan's uncle, and his martial arts must not be low, and he also had a little more respect in his heart.

Shi Lingwei had already decided to pass on the report on his behalf, and turned to Wang Jing and said, "This one is a disciple of the Huashan faction?"

Xiang Wentian hurriedly said: "This Feng brother is the uncle of Yue Buqun, the head of Huashan today. It is a clean junior and is very proficient in swordsmanship. ”

Ding Jian said "ah", he is a master of swordsmanship, and he heard that Wang Jing was good at swordsmanship, and he couldn't help but itch, but seeing that this person's face was yellow and swollen, and his appearance was obscene, he really didn't look like a person who was good at swordsmanship, and asked: "I don't know what the two big names are called." ”

Xiang Wentian said: "The surname is Tong, and his name is Tong Huajin." This wind brother, the name is Feng Jizhong. ”

Ding Shi and the two arched their hands and said politely: "Long admiration, long admiration." ”

Ding Jian said: "The two of you please come into the hall to have tea, stay down and tell us, whether you see it or not, but it is difficult to say." Xiang Wentian said with a smile: "Although the two of them are masters and servants with the names of the four friends of Jiangnan, they are like brothers. The four seniors will not give the second brother Ding Shi face. Ding Jian smiled slightly and let him aside. Xiang Wentian stepped inside, and Wang Jing followed.

Walking through a large patio, an old plum tree is planted on the left and right sides of the patio, and the branches are like iron, which is extremely vigorous. When he came to the hall, Shi Lingwei invited the two to take a seat, stood and accompanied each other, and Ding Jian entered the inner report to report.

Xiang Wentian saw Shi Lingwei standing and sitting by himself, which was inevitably disrespectful to him, but it was not good to invite him to sit as well. Then he got up and said, "Brother Feng, look at this painting, although there are only a few brushstrokes, it is extraordinary. As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the large central hall that hung in the hall.

Wang Jing heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and secretly boasted to Wentian for his insight into the world. Then he took over the conversation and said: "Brother Tong, yes, this brush is strong and strong, the brushwork is strict, and a stroke of the brush is like the stabbing stroke of a long sword, which obviously implies sword intent. ”

Before Xiang Wentian could answer, Shi Lingwei said behind the two of them: "This Feng Ye is indeed a master of swordsmanship. Dan Qingsheng, the owner of the fourth village of my family, said: After being drunk that day, he painted this painting, and inadvertently contained the swordsmanship, which was the most proud work in his life, and he could no longer paint it after he woke up. Feng Ye can actually see the sword intent in this painting, and the four village owners must be cited as confidants. I'll go in and inform. With that, he walked in.

Xiang Wentian coughed and said, "Brother Feng, it turns out that you know calligraphy and painting. ”

Wang Jing replied: "Brother Tong has won the award, and I know a little bit about it. ”

Suddenly, I heard a person outside the door say loudly: "He can see the swordsmanship from my paintings? In the midst of the shouting, a man walked in, with a long beard and belly, holding a wine bosom in his left hand, and his face was very drunk.

Shi Lingwei followed behind and said, "These two are the boy master of the Songshan faction and the feng master of the Huashan faction. This is Dan Qingsheng, the owner of the fourth village of Meizhuang. The fourth owner, as soon as this Feng Ye saw the owner's ink-splashing brushwork, he said that there was a sword intent in it. ”

Dan Qingsheng, the owner of the four villages, slanted a pair of drunken eyes, looked at Wang Jing for a while, and asked, "Do you know how to draw?"

Wang Jing replied: "I don't dare to say that I understand, I know a little bit about it." In the original play, Ling Hu Chong used wine to get close, but Wang Jing didn't know much about wine, but fortunately, he knew some sketches before crossing over, and it should be enough to fool Dan Qingshan.

When Dan Qingsheng heard this, he said happily: "It turns out that Brother Feng is also a person who knows how to paint, I wonder if you can let me see it?" completely ignored Xiang Wentian.

Wang Jing said: "Since it is the invitation of the owner, he will be ugly." It's just that my way of painting is different, and I need some flat charcoal and some blank paper. ”

Dan Qingsheng saw that Wang Jing didn't want the four treasures of the study at all, and praised: "Feng Ye is really extraordinary, these ordinary things are very easy." After speaking, he sent Ding Jian to get some charcoal, cut it into strips, and asked Shi Lingwei to go to his study to get some white paper.
