Chapter 2 The whistling sound moves together with the heavens and the earth
Because it was the first time, Guo Jinzhi still felt a little nervous. Finally, a piece of moonlight shone through the roof. Guo Jinzhi looked up and saw the head of a masked man appearing on the roof, looking into the house there.
Guo Jinzhi coughed lightly and suppressed his throat, "Since my good friend is here, why don't you come down and sit down?" The one on the roof, seeing that his whereabouts had been recognized, was shocked, and he slipped from the roof with a diagonal jump.
Guo Jinzhi listened to the sound that was gradually moving away, and she didn't want to chase it, so as not to cause trouble. The next day, she inquired with the shopkeeper about some of the situation, and it turned out that he didn't want to be "Dazhou" from here, which was under the jurisdiction of Lizhou Road. It is still more than 2,000 miles away from Bianjing.
Because Bianjing is the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Guo Jinzhi wants to go and see, and he can also inquire about the situation of the two senior sisters along the way. She bought a horse in a "horse shop", brought dry food, and rushed all the way to Dazhou.
In the early autumn day, riding on a horse, there is no longer the heat of summer, although so, but running all the way, Guo Jinzhi still feels a little hot. In the evening, she finally came to Dazhou City.
Although it is a small town in the southwest, it is also a very lively place. There are many ethnic minorities here, and the strange costumes on the girls are colorful and colorful, bringing a thousand beautiful colors to the small city.
In an inn called "Jun again", Guo Jinzhi asked for an upper room. She washed her face and put the burden in the bed, which was just a change of clothes anyway. With a purse in her arms and a sword in her hand, she went downstairs and walked out.
On the most lively "Zhuangyuan Street", lanterns are lit up everywhere, there are those selling snacks, small toys, clothes, juggling, and performing arts, which are really varied and everything. I looked at a little girl from modern times and forgot to eat.
Suddenly, there was a faint fragrance wafting in front of her, and her stomach also roared with "cooing", go eat something first. She came to a restaurant, and Shi Shiran walked in.
Xiao Er at the door stepped forward and greeted, "Is this young lady looking for someone or eating? Is it one person or several people?" Guo Jinzhi rolled his beautiful eyes at him, "Of course my aunt and grandmother came to the restaurant to eat." ”
The shopkeeper's face is always the thickest, otherwise he won't be angry with those tricky guests? He salivated and shouted, "A young lady is here, please sit upstairs." ”
At the entrance of the escalator on the second floor, there was also a junior second, who hurriedly welcomed Guo Jinzhi into a single seat. Xiao Er wiped Guo Jinzhi off the chair with the handkerchief in his hand, "Miss, may I ask what you want to eat?"
Guo Jinzhi looked stunned, thought for a while, and immediately said, "Little second brother, you give Miss Ben the specialty dishes in your store first, and then a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup." ”
Seeing that she didn't look like a rich lord, the shopkeeper's expression became less enthusiastic and turned away. After a while, the meal came up. A braised roe deer meat, a bowl of soup, a bowl of rice.
Especially the roe deer meat, you can smell a faint fragrance when you sit there, Guo Jinzhi picks up a piece and puts it in his mouth, "wow" is tender, crispy and spicy. She ate three pieces in a row before she picked up her rice bowl.
A snack dissolved her three taels of silver.
After eating and drinking, she walked down the street for a while, and she stopped in front of a sumo ring, because there were two men in their twenties wrestling on the stage.
This can't help but remind her of the "prodigal son Yanqing" in "Water Margin", who is described in the book as a sumo wrestler and has a beautiful tattoo on his body. On the bodies of the two people, she saw only a simple tattoo of a flying eagle on the back of one person's hand.
At this time, I heard the two men next to me whispering about the two people on the stage, and a man in a green coat said, "Look at the thinner one, how stable his lower plate is, it seems that he has a certain foundation in martial arts, and that fat man must not be his opponent." ”
The man in blue on the side also said in the same way, "Senior brother is right, I can also see that the fat man will definitely be defeated." ”
At this time, out of nowhere, a person named Hanako appeared, snorted softly, and said to himself, "Two children on the stage, two children off the stage, children praise children, they are all little children." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a purple gourd in his hand and put it to his mouth, "Gollum" is a sip of wine.
Guo Jinzhi listened to this slippery mouth, "fluttered", and laughed. Raising his eyes to look at the flower child, he is only in his thirties, with long eyebrows and clear eyes, he doesn't look like a person who wants to eat, if he changes his clothes, isn't he a white-faced scholar?
The junior brother in blue is called Lu Dagang, and the senior brother in green is called Luan Congfeng. He is a disciple of a newly rising sect on the rivers and lakes. The gang leader is called An Qidao, and it is said that a set of "Wind Demon Knife Technique" is elusive, and no one has ever been able to dodge Qidao under his knife.
Senior brother Lu Dagang's fiery temper is just like his name, and it explodes at a moment. He glared at Hanako, "Who the fuck didn't lock the crotch of your fucking pants, revealing such a soft egg like you, you talk nonsense again, be careful that Uncle screws your head off as a night pot." ”
That called Huazi didn't expect this kid to scold when he opened his mouth, and just wanted to raise his hand, but he heard a person laughing softly not far from the crowd, just like that, Guo Jinzhi also heard it, and saw a young and beautiful girl laughing.
The masked scholar Lu Qingyu seemed to hear the most terrifying voice in the world, he turned around, only to see that the people crowded around him fell to both sides, and he was like a loach, and he disappeared into the crowd in a flash.
Immediately, Guo Jinzhi saw a bewitching woman in her twenties, flashing past him and chasing forward. At this time, an old nun in her fifties walked by and whispered, "Sin, sin." And he hurried in the direction in which the woman was running.
I saw her walking step by step, very slowly, but in an instant she had disappeared without a trace. Judging from the figures of the three people who left one after another, they can all be regarded as first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, and Luan Congfeng is really glad that he was not reckless just now.
He took his junior brother's hand and walked out of the crowd. "Senior brother, you are too reckless, if it wasn't for that strange woman just now, you and I would have been stuck today, and I don't know what the number of these three people is, but judging from their martial arts, they should not be under our master. ”
When Senior Brother said this, Ruda was a little scared just now. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, "They want to embarrass us, it's not so easy, this is already the interface of Lizhou Road, it's almost at the door, will we still be afraid of these birdmen?"
As soon as these words fell, he heard Ludagang say "ouch" and covered his mouth with his hand. Luan saw bright red blood flowing from the fingers of his junior brother. "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Dagang shouted inarticulately, "Senior brother, I was plotted. Hearing this, Luan Congfeng hurriedly looked around, only to see that under a corner of the wall in the distance, a black shadow flashed and disappeared into the darkness. Luan Congfeng pointed ahead with his hand, "Senior brother, over there, let's chase." ”
Looking at the figures of the brothers and sisters, they chased all the way, and at this time, a father and daughter walked out of the crowd, the man was in his forties, and the girl was seventeen or eighteen years old. I only heard the girl say, "Dad, is that the master who chased after the living treasure? ”
The girl's father whispered, "Ying'er, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth, let's rush to Xiangyang to talk." As soon as the two left, an old monk walked out of the darkness and said softly, "Xiangyang is lively now, so the old man will go and join in this excitement." ”
Although Guo Jinzhi was still standing in the crowd, everything that happened here was really seen by her and clear at a glance. Since something big has happened in Xiangyang, why don't I go and see it too, maybe I can meet the senior sister I have never met.
After returning to the inn for a good night's sleep, she asked the store for the way to Xiangyang, in order to hide people's eyes, she bought a carriage, disguised as a young man, and drove the carriage all the way to Xiangyang.
The road was peaceful, this morning, not long after she left Kuizhou, she felt that the road seemed to be lively, and there were constantly people from the rivers and lakes riding fast horses past her.
In the evening, she stopped in a small town called Wo Gang. Came to a "Yuelai Inn", walked in the door, Xiao Er greeted him with a smile and walked out, "I'm sorry for this guest officer, the shop is full, please go to the next one." ”
Guo Jinzhi looked at Xiao Er and said, "Little Second Brother, how many inns are there in your town?" Seeing that people asked so politely, the shopkeeper took Guo Jinzhi out of the door, pointed to a few red lanterns with the word "Ke" written on them in front of him and said, "Anything with the word Hakka written on the lanterns is an inn, and if you want to go, hurry up." ”
At the door of a "high roller inn", as soon as Guo Jinzhi stopped, a shopkeeper ran out of it, "May I ask the guest officer, are you going to Xiangyang City to go to An Qiye's martial arts meeting?"
Guo Jinzhi was stunned by the question, and then asked, "What if it is, what do you say?" The shopkeeper said with great interest, "An Qiye's subordinates have already passed the word, no matter whether there is an invitation or not, as long as you go to An Qiye's martial arts conference, you can stay in the hotel for free, and all expenses are counted in the Black Eagle Gang." ”
As soon as she heard that she could eat and live for free, why didn't Guo Jinzhi do it? Of course, she naturally became a friend invited by "An Qiye".
At dinner, because Guo Jinzhi was a nameless little person in the rivers and lakes, he was arranged to sit with some teenagers and juniors to eat, and she gladly accepted.
Looking at the more than a dozen tables in the hall that were almost full, an old man about sixty years old stood up and spoke, "Everyone be quiet and listen to what the old man has to say." ”
His voice immediately overshadowed all the noise, everyone stopped their chopsticks and looked at him, only to hear the old man say, "It is estimated that everyone knows the old man, some young people may not know me, my name is Mei Youyi, these two are my brothers Mei Youqing and Mei Youfa, since we are destined to meet here, we are friends, I hope everyone is closer and closer." ”
Guo Jinzhi heard a young man at the same table whisper, "Listen to my master, the three brothers of the Mei family also want to covet the throne of the leader of the martial arts alliance, and they really don't know what they can do." ”
Another young man sneered, "This time Xiangyang is lively, I heard that there are not only these people who covet the throne of the alliance leader, a few days ago, someone saw the senior iron sword master of the Qingcheng faction in Jiangling Mansion, drinking with an old monk, and someone saw them also mentioned the Xiangyang party." ”
There was a woman on the seat, who smiled at the young man who was talking, and said, "Senior Brother Lin, your father really deserves to be the king of martial arts news, and there are some troubles in the rivers and lakes that can't be hidden from him." ”
The young man who spoke was called Lin Yifan, and he was the baby son of Lin Yizhi, who was known as the "King of News" in the rivers and lakes. When he saw Gu Caidie, the eldest lady of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, smiling at him, his bones were a little lighter.
What else did he want to say, but the senior brother sitting next to him spoke, "Little junior brother, this Taihu vinegar fish is your favorite food, why don't you eat more while it's hot?"
Lin Yifan knew that it was the senior brother who asked him to eat more vegetables, talk less, and be careful that trouble came out of his mouth. Although he is the eldest young master of Lin Jiabao, he still admires this resourceful senior brother very much, since the senior brother asked him to talk less, there must be a reason for him.
He smiled lightly at Gu Caidie, "This Taihu vinegar fish is tender and delicious, eat it while it's hot." ”
Guo Jinzhi looked at it and laughed secretly in his stomach, a full son, it seems that he doesn't have any great skills, but the senior brother seems to be very calm and a scheming person.
Who knows, in this inn full of martial arts characters, there was still a little episode in the middle of the night. At midnight, Guo Jinzhi heard night walkers on the rooftop, from far and near.
Immediately she came to the door with her sword in hand. After a while, the sound from far and near stopped on the roof of the next house. Guo Jinzhi felt a little strange, didn't there be a few powerful characters living here?
In fact, it is not, but since Guo Jinzhi practiced the "Da Luo Yu Goddess Skill", her skills have not stopped a long way?
At this time, there was a sound of lifting tiles from the roof next door, and she just wanted to go out to the house to have a look, when she heard Mei Youfa's voice sounding outside, "Where did the little thief come from, dare to come up here to steal, you don't want to die?"
As soon as he shouted like this, the outside immediately felt like a frying pot, and it was chaotic in an instant. Guo Jinzhi didn't want to care about this kind of nossiness, she lay on the bed with her clothes again, and fell asleep after a while.
The next day, at breakfast, I heard the Lin family's son-in-law Lin Yifan talking to a few younger brothers of the Tsing Yi Gang about last night's incident, Guo Jinzhi listened to it, and knew that there were so many people here last night, and they didn't see the true face of the person who came, and thought to himself, this person is not only bold, but also his martial arts must be good.
Everyone was together, and they didn't say anything all the way, and finally came to Xiangyang City that evening. This Xiangyang City is where the main altar of the Black Eagle Gang is located, so as soon as everyone enters the city gate, someone will greet them. "You're here for the martial arts conference?"
Mei Youyi stepped forward, "I am Mei Youyi of Meihua Villa, these two are my brothers Mei Youqing and Mei Youfa." These are all friends who came with us, and they are all here to participate in the martial arts conference. ”
The middle-aged man hugged his fist towards Mei Youyi, "Long admiration, long admiration." I am Zhao Renda, the deacon of the Black Eagle Gang, and I am known as 'Chasing Yama'."
Hearing this nickname, Mei Youyi's heart trembled, and he thought to himself, how could this demon be here, and he also became a deacon of the Black Eagle Gang? I remember that thirteen years ago, there were rumors in the rivers and lakes that he committed a crime in Huizhou, and was killed by Yan Junwei, the leader of the previous martial arts alliance and the head of the Huashan faction, who led the white road figures in the rivers and lakes at the foot of the mountain. Why is it here now?
Out of politeness, Mei Youyi hugged him with a fist, "I've admired the name for a long time, it's rude." After saying that, he followed behind a disciple of the Black Eagle Gang and walked towards the inn that had been prepared long ago.
At dinner, Guo Jinzhi was divided by Mei Youyi on the table of the younger generation. As soon as he sat down, Lin Yifan asked Jing Wuyu, who was sitting beside him, "Senior brother, is this person the underworld demon 'Chasing Yama' Zhao Renda, who was chased and killed by the Martial Arts Baidao thirteen years ago?"
Jing Wuyu looked around nervously, "Senior brother, Master has warned, don't talk nonsense, it's that person, we have to be careful, after today, tomorrow Master and his old man will arrive." ”
Guo Jinzhi's mind immediately reproduced a smiling face like "Maitreya Buddha" of that person, which is really unbelievable and invincible. Looking at his kind face, who would have thought that he would be a big devil who kills people without blinking?
It's really sinister, and the waves are treacherous.
Guo Jinzhi and the others came early, and the martial arts conference would not start until three days later. In the past three days, Guo Jinzhi has also met many influential figures. There is the leader of the previous martial arts alliance, Yan Junwei, the head of the Huashan faction, and the highly respected Shaolin host Master Miyun.
There are the lone ranger Luo Sihai, the head of the Qingcheng faction, Ji Zhengyan, and the righteous and evil madman Fei Renjie. There are also evil characters, Le Wuwei of Feile Villa, Granny Stygian Flower of Xiaoyao Island and others.
In the evenings of the past two days, Guo Jinzhi would wear black clothes every midnight, sneak out of the city, and practice the "Jade Girl Scattered Flower Sword" left by his master several times. Today, she suddenly discovered that she had practiced to the highest level of this sword, and a single sword could conjure thirteen sword flowers.
She knelt on the ground in ecstasy, kowtowed three times in the direction of burying her master, and muttered in her mouth, "Master, the apprentice has finally practiced the Jade Maiden Scattered Flower Sword, and I can conjure thirteen sword flowers with one sword." ”
After saying that, he remembered the emaciated and aging master, and two lines of tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes. After crossing over, the first loved one passed away in front of her own eyes, how could she not teach her heartache? Her tears could not stop flowing.
Think about yourself as a modern person, you actually traveled to the Northern Song Dynasty, and encountered a grand event in the martial arts, and the leader of the martial arts alliance was re-elected once every 20 years. There may be a providence in the darkness, and he wants to let himself save the entire martial arts.
At this time, she suddenly noticed two green lights flashing in the woods on one side, could it be a vicious wolf. She bent down to pick up a branch on the ground and threw it seven or eight meters into the woods. Hearing a scream, she came to the woods with her sword and saw that the branch she had just thrown had been inserted into the head of a wolf.
She was happy in her heart, it turned out that her skills were so profound, didn't she become a martial arts master. It's just that she doesn't know that her martial arts now, like her, have entered the ranks of super-first-class.
She let out a long roar full of pride, resounding through the earth like a dragon's groan, as if the air in front of her trembled in this roar.
