Chapter 3: Ghosts of the Western Regions

Lin Zhi separated, wearing two strange people, long hair loose curls, dark complexion, wearing animal skins, each holding a pair of iron lotus, and behind them appeared four green silk fluttering, colorful skirts of young women, their skirts are strange, although they are also knotted with flowers, but they are bare-shouldered and bare-backed, they wear a lot of gold bracelets and ankles on their wrists and ankles, and there are also big earrings on their ears, their skin is pink and white, their eyelashes are thick, and they are all coquettish and charming. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jian Nanhong had never seen this kind of person, her eyes widened, and she was amazed, but knowing that they were women from different countries in the Western Regions, she couldn't help but think of the words and phrases described by the Southern Song Dynasty poet Wu Wenying to women of different races, and blurted out, "The fluffy tanuki hat covers the plum forehead, and the golden cicada Luo cuts the beard and shirt narrowly." Shoulder to shoulder to look at the small waist, tired and strong with idle drum flute......"

Not only Jian Nanhong, but even Sai Zhuge and the white-clothed warrior and others all looked at each other in surprise with wide eyes, and the two dark-skinned people were pitch black and shiny, which everyone couldn't imagine.

The two black-skinned men stared at the dead eagle in the hands of the white-clothed warrior, and one of them shouted and asked, "How dare you hurt the holy eagle of this palace?"

Sai Zhuge replied with a sneer, "It was the mountain man who sent it away, because it alarmed the beast king and frightened the mountain man's mount. ”

"You know that the Holy Eagle who harmed the palace is going to die a tragic death by being separated from the body and dismembered!" the dark-skinned man continued to scold, and the original words were a little stiff.

Sai Zhuge sinked his face and said sharply, "Presumptuous! Shanren guessed well, you two are just dog slaves in front of the Ghost Palace, and you dare to talk to Shanren like this, although Shanren is not a person in the martial arts, but there are many well-known friends in the Shanren martial arts." ”

Jian Nanhong was always puzzled, and couldn't help but touch Jiang Shuyuan's arm with her elbow and asked, "Brother Tai, what is going on with these people? Are they smeared on their skin with something, or are they naturally as dark as charcoal?"

Jiang Shuyuan smiled lightly and explained, "There is nothing strange about this, in fact, these people are born so dark, they are some small countries in West Asia, and they are often captured by some other powerful countries, so they are used as slaves, and these blacks appeared in my Ming Kingdom in the Han Dynasty, because they came to the west of Kunlun Mountain in the west, and they were called 'Kunlun slaves' at that time, and it seems that there is no clear name now, since they are used by the ghost palace, they are called ghost slaves." ”

Jian Nanhong opened her lips in surprise, almost couldn't close them, and secretly thought, "The world is so big, it's really strange. ’

The ghost slave who spoke no longer spoke, waved the iron lotus in his hand and took Sai Zhuge directly, the iron lotus is one of the thirteen weapons in the outer gate of the martial arts, it is shaped like a lotus bud, there are twelve lotus leaves outside, the leaf blade is extremely sharp, you can cut the opponent's hand, you can also lock the opponent's weapon.

Another white-clothed strong man immediately pulled out a long sword from his back to frame the iron lotus, the iron lotus turned up and down, the cold shadow glowed, the move was really treacherous and dangerous, not for the middle earth road, but the sword path of the white-clothed strong man was also smart and smooth, both rigid and soft, and the two fought fiercely.

The four women from the Western Regions standing next to them suddenly laughed coquettishly at this time, and one of them unexpectedly attacked the white-clothed strong man holding the dead eagle with lightning speed, and the jade wrist was shiny, and the ten fingers were slender into hooks, and they grabbed the heavenly court above the head of the white-clothed strong man.

The strong man in white was admiring the style of the exotic woman, and suddenly came back to his senses, he was already shocked, and he was busy fighting the other party's moves, the woman suddenly stopped moving, but the other hand struck into the arms of the strong man in white, and there was a crisp sound of Jin Ling, with a 'hee, hee' smile, and the skirt shadow was flashing, the woman had retreated to its original place, but there was already the dead eagle in her hand, it turned out that what she had just sent was just a false move, intending to recapture the dead eagle.

In front of everyone's eyes, the woman easily snatched the dead eagle from the hands of the white-clothed warrior, and the white-clothed warrior suddenly felt that his face was dull, and he was ashamed and angry, he let out a deep sigh, and his fists were whistling, and he rushed towards the group of women.

The other woman immediately stepped forward, and her hand was trained into a rainbow, and Jin Ling exploded, and a two-zhang long water-red silk ribbon was already issued, and a Jin Ling the size of a tea cup was tied at the front end of the ribbon.

The strong man in white was angry and impulsive, and his shot was a heavy punch that opened the mountain and cracked the stone, and the water red silk belt was skillfully and softly entangled, and the number of roads was to overcome the rigidity with softness, which just restrained the strong fist of the strong man in white, so that he could not focus, and when he was about to pull out the long sword on his back, how could he practice the entanglement in front of him, Jin Ling was deafening, and the danger was full of danger.

The woman's figure is graceful, graceful and graceful, with a wonderful fine voice, very moving and pleasant, not like fighting with people, but like dancing, it turns out that she is not only tied with Jin Ling on the water red ribbon in her hand, but also has a lot of small Jin Ling on the wrist and ankle wearing rings, she was originally bare-chested and bare-backed, narrow clothes and narrow skirts, at this time the strong wind blows, but also fluttering with the wind, exposing the white and tender legs, round and plump **** leaping waves, hooking people's souls.

When has the white-clothed strong man seen this kind of scene, and he got along so close to the woman, he could reach out and touch it, and a wave of anger had long disappeared, only to feel that his muscles were weak and his bones were weak, his heart was shaking, Nei Yuan fell, and he was somehow distracted, and he was hit by a Jin Ling on his shoulder, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, he turned a few somersaults, and fell to the ground.

The woman made a successful move, and in the laughter, she continued to shake the soft silk, and attacked the strong man in white again, seeing that the strong man in white had no power to fight back, she was about to die under the pleasant Jin Ling.

Suddenly, a bee 'buzzing' sound that was as thin as a gossamer, but clear enough to shock the eardrums, sounded quite quickly.

The woman stopped for a moment, knowing that there was a hidden weapon attacking, but she didn't know the secret weapon of the Middle-earth, and she couldn't tell the direction and angle of the hidden weapon, so she didn't have time to come back to her senses, and she had already been hit by a scorpion king dart on her shoulder, and the blood was full of cicada clothes, like a few pinks.

"What a handsome secret weapon kung fu!" the brocade boy on the side applauded.

The fierce ghost slave immediately stopped, jumped out of the battle circle, and shouted at the group of people here, "Take out the antidote!"

Jiang Shuyuan stepped out and replied, "Under the 'sad prodigal son' Jiang Shuyuan, her life is bright and fair, so that the dart blade has no evil arts, this dart only uses three points of strength, just to teach her a lesson, young and young, don't be so ruthless." ”

"But—" said the ghost slave as he swept the crowd away, "no one here today can get out of business. After speaking, he picked up the injured woman, pulled out the scorpion king dart from her shoulder, threw it on the ground, took out the golden medicine to give the woman good medicine, and said, "Go!" The group walked into the dense forest again, and then a deafening whistle sounded, and the eagle hovering in the air also disappeared with the whistle and the group of people.

The white-clothed warrior who was fighting with the ghost slave hurriedly inserted his sword, stepped forward to pick up his injured companion, and fed him the golden creation pill.

Jiang Shuyuan slowly walked out, reached out and picked up the Scorpion King Dart from the ground and put it into the dart bag, then looked at the young man in brocade and asked, "Your Excellency is also going to Dragon Tiger Villa? He thought that if he went to Dragon and Tiger Villa to pay homage, he must be friends of the Dragon and Tiger Heroes, so he beckoned them to go along.

The boy in brocade returned the salute with his fists and said with a hearty smile, "Yes, the subordinates are also going to Dragon Tiger Villa, but friends, let's meet in Dragon Tiger Villa." ”

Jiang Shuyuan didn't answer anymore, arched his fist goodbye, and continued on the road with Jian Nanhong, Sai Zhuge and others.

Longhu Villa is located in the halfway of Longhu Mountain, surrounded by peaks, and the village is hidden in the pine and cypress forest of the forest, which has the momentum of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

A group of people walked into the gate of Longhu Villa with Jiang Shu's wish, and the courtyard was surrounded by a microscopic scene shaped by brocade bamboo and mountain stones, and some early guests were chatting around watching the scenery.

The old housekeeper was informed that he had already come out, Jiang Shuyuan was worried in his heart, and hurriedly shouted at the old housekeeper, "Uncle Tan, your old man is okay!"

The old butler was a little surprised, looked at Jiang Shu's wish carefully for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't this a wish, how did this kid become like this?"

Jiang Shu's hanging heart finally relaxed, listening to the old housekeeper's tone was not confused by the illusion of what happened to his master ten years ago, since the old housekeeper did not blame himself, then his master Dragon and Tiger Shuangxia must also believe in his innocence, for a while, he only felt the ups and downs of his inner emotions, full of emotion, and grabbed the old housekeeper and said, "Uncle Tan, it's hard to say, and the juniors will slowly explain it to you and the two owners later." After speaking, he recommended Jian Nanhong and Sai Zhuge to the old housekeeper.

Although Steward Tan is close to old age, but he has a tough body and a strong spirit, and he can see at a glance that he is a person who also has martial arts.

Bypass the corridor in the front yard, come to the depths of the backyard, a dense and lush bamboo forest and sycamore forest appear in a round hole door courtyard, the round hole door is carved with the words 'Begonia Garden', an old servant slave is in front of the round hole door with a broom to beat the fallen leaves, the old servant slave moves slowly, carelessly, but when the broom brushes the dead leaves, it is faintly revealing the gangqi, the old servant slave clearly has a stunt, the action is very concealed and casual, if there is no profound inner cultivation, it is difficult to distinguish it.

Jian Nanhong caught a glimpse of it, and was secretly surprised, Longhu Villa really hid the dragon and crouching tiger, and only an old servant slave was deeply hidden, so you can imagine other people, but the martial arts of this old servant slave should be above the old housekeeper...... He remained silent and waited to see what happened.

The three of them stepped into the round cave door of the 'Begonia Garden', there was another scene in the small courtyard, the small courtyard was surrounded by begonia trees, the begonia flowers bloomed, gorgeous and dazzling, the fragrance was fragrant, the scattered petals fluttered in the autumn wind, Jian Nanhong touched the scene, and couldn't help but whisper; Affectionate love this time, sunset frost sideburns and old people?"

Entering the living room of the small courtyard, Steward Tan went inside to invite the dragon and tiger heroes, Jiang Shuyuan and Jian Nanhong sat in the living room and waited.

Jian Nanhong couldn't help but secretly think, "This dragon and tiger two big men are hiding in the courtyard of flowers, could it be that there is something sad, Yu Hua is ...... feelings" is guessing wildly, and there is already a sound of footsteps in the back hall of the living room.

Steward Tan led the Dragon and Tiger Heroes into the living room, the Dragon and Tiger Heroes are twin brothers, twenty years ago, the Megatron Jianghan Valley, and later sealed the knife and lived in seclusion, returned to their homeland, his brothers are very similar in appearance, both in the prime of life, but the Dragon Man has five green hair, slightly practiced, but the Tiger Man is even sideburns and sea beards, rough and fierce, and the two of them have a slight trace of tired of the vicissitudes of the world.

Jiang Shuyuan hurriedly got up and bowed, and shouted in his mouth, "Uncle Long, Uncle Tiger!

Long Xia hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Jiang Shu's wish, and the two heroes looked up and down carefully at the prodigal son, their expressions on their faces were complicated, their eyes were already slightly full of tears, and they muttered in their mouths, "It's really a wish, but the heroic appearance of the 'Floating Fragrance Yulang' when he was a teenager is gone." ”

Jiang Shuyuan stood up and smiled bitterly, "Thank you two seniors for believing in the innocence of the juniors." ”

Long Xia raised his eyebrows and said with emotion, "You are what I grew up with your Uncle Tiger and others, how can we not believe in your character, it's just that after the accident of Master Ling ten years ago, we also went to the funeral of Master Ling, and all the charges are on your head, that Gongsun Shaojie did a clean and neat job, without evidence, of course we have nothing to say, but we know in our hearts that there must be something strange about this matter, but unfortunately we can't find you......"

Tiger Man also nodded at Jiang Shu's wish, his eyes full of trust.

Jian Nanhong took advantage of the time to salute the dragon and tiger twin heroes, "After entering the end, Jian Nanhong will meet the two senior heroes!"

"Ha, ha, such a handsome boy. The dragon man returned the salute, and then looked at Jian Nanhong and said approvingly: "The young man's phoenix roots and spirit bones are pure and elegant, but he is a difficult talent among the thousands, and the teacher is a strange person in today's world?"

"The younger generation is the master of Wudang Zixiao, and the family teacher is not willing to tell the world by his name for the time being, I hope the seniors will forgive!" Jian Nanhong replied with a smile.

Long Xia nodded and said, "Zixiao Martial Arts is the general source of today's internal family, and it is naturally full of talents. After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and the servant brought fragrant tea to everyone.

Jiang Shuyuan also told the story of the incident that happened in the division ten years ago.

There was silence in the living room for a while, and Tiger Man suddenly slapped the coffee table and said indignantly, "Damn, just looking at Gongsun Shaojie's ambition to be the leader of the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Alliance today, I know that it must have been a trap and a conspiracy laid by him back then." ”

Long Xia stroked the drooping green hair under his hand, and said in a deep and authentic manner, "Tianweimen has become the first gate sect in Zhongzhou today, the gate has expanded, and the number of people has skyrocketed, which has exceeded our imagination, that Gongsun boy still wants to be the leader of the martial arts alliance in Zhongzhou, and not long ago sent an invitation to the village, inviting the old man and brother to participate in the election meeting of the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the old man will not buy the boy's account." ”

Tiger Man tilted his head and asked Jiang Shuyuan, "What are your plans for the virtuous nephew to return this time?"

Jiang Shuyuan thought for a while, and Zhengse replied, "The younger generation wants to expose Gongsun Shaojie's disguise at the Martial Arts Alliance, so that the heroes of the world can see his evil face clearly, and also remove his unreasonable thoughts of wanting to be the leader of the alliance." ”

"No," Long Xia heard this, and hurriedly stopped, "Gongsun Boy's sword is already an invincible hand in Zhongzhou, and behind him is his famous master, Master Yuantong, the chief master of the Five Elements Master of the Dharma Hall of Shaolin Temple, as the backing, you go alone, and there is no evidence, who will believe in you in the heroes of the world, not only that, but the life of the virtuous nephew may not be guaranteed." ”

Huxia was also worried, "Yes, Gongsun Boy has established a certain prestige in Luoyang, and the climate has been completed, so the virtuous nephew should think of another foolproof strategy." ”

Jiang Shuyuan let out a long laugh, the rhyme was majestic, but it also carried a hint of sadness, and said generously, "The eldest husband regards death as home, and the younger generation has made up his mind, so there is no need to mention this matter again." ”

The dragon and tiger sighed heavily, and wanted to persuade Jiang Shu's wish again, but seeing the determined expression on his face, the words came to his lips, and he stopped talking.

At this time, a Zhuang Ding walked in and said to the Dragon and Tiger Heroes, "Owner, there are a few more guests, and the guests who should have arrived have already arrived at eight or nine, but there are some strange guests. ”

Steward Tan got up and said, "It's not too early, the old man will go to Zhang Luo first, and the banquet will start immediately, and the two masters will come later." After speaking, he grabbed and led Zhuang Ding straight out of the 'Begonia Garden'.

Dragon and Tiger Shuangxia and Jiang long-cherished wishes, Jian Nanhong got up and left his seat one after another, and walked out of the 'Begonia Garden', everyone seemed to be in a heavy mood along the way, and there was no half a sentence.

As soon as they arrived at the front yard lobby, the guests in the hall greeted the dragon and tiger shuangxia with a fist, the two owners smiled and hugged their fists one by one to return the salute to the guests.

The guests of honor sat down, asked each other long and short questions, greeted each other, and the lobby suddenly talked and laughed.

Steward Tan came to the lobby and shouted to everyone, "Please invite the two hosts and guests to sit down!" After shouting, he led everyone into the side hall on the side of the lobby.

At this time, the sky was slightly twilight, and there were already huge candles and torches in the side hall, illuminating like day, and the dozen or so sea tables were rich in dishes and cups, and Steward Tan was busy arranging for everyone to sit in order.

After everyone sat down, Shuangxia got up and raised his glass to everyone, "Thank you friends for remembering our brothers in the grass and cliffs, a glass of wine, chatting about the inch, full of respect for everyone!"

Everyone also stood up and raised their glasses to drink with the two heroes, and after drinking, Steward Tan also raised his glass and saluted everyone, "Tiannan and Haibei, it is rare for all heroes to travel thousands of miles, tirelessly, full of water and wine, not into respect, thinking that you heroes wash the dust." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, and the guests returned a toast to Shuangxia, and three glasses of spirits fell into their stomachs, before everyone sat down to taste the dishes, and at the same time opened the conversation box to talk about their farewells.

The wine of the guest and the host was hot, and the atmosphere became more intense, Sai Zhuge stood up, held a glass full of wine syrup, and saluted the dragon and tiger at the next table; The two heroes are famous all over the world, and gallop together with the power of the mountains and lakes on the rivers and lakes, the mountain people have long been thirsty, today can witness the two heroes of the style, but also three lives are lucky, the mountain people borrow the wine of the two heroes, toast the two heroes a glass, but the mountain people respect the wishes, moreover, the two heroes should not be prematurely converged edge, should go out of the mountain again, across the world, raise their arms and roar, thousands of promises, thousands of heroes admire, the stars arch the moon like the eight-sided majesty is also stronger than the loneliness of the deep mountains and old forests. ”

Long Xia also got up and raised his glass to show his salute in return, and said with a faint smile, "Your Excellency is serious, the old man Kusano Qinghe, just trying to be leisurely, ignorant body, how dare you think wrongly." ”

Tiger Man also got up and raised a glass in return, looked at the other party for a while, seemed very unfamiliar, and couldn't help asking, "Forgive the old man for being dizzy, Your Excellency doesn't seem to have known each other?"

Sai Zhuge smiled and said, "The surname of the mountain man has long been forgotten, thanks to the promotion of friends in the sea, called the mountain man Sai Zhuge , the mountain man reluctantly agreed, the mountain man is not a person in the martial arts, and he does not know anything about martial arts and kung fu, so the two heroes naturally will not know the mountain people, but the mountain people are in the rivers and lakes, floating in the clouds, and they are all heroes in the martial arts. "He is plain cloth, and he is not humble in front of many martial arts masters, which makes everyone have to look at it differently.

Even the two heroes squinted their eyes and looked at him carefully, these two chivalrous people had been dominant, famous and famous, I don't know how many hardships and dangers they have experienced, with the experience of the two, this Sai Zhuge must have a great background.

"Oh, I've finally thought about it," a guest at the other table stood up and said to Sai Zhuge "Your Excellency won the love of the world's green forest friends in Jeju Mansion in Shandong Province eight years ago with a 'Tiger Roaring Picture', and formed a friendship with the Shandong Green Forest Alliance Lord Hei Ba Ye, and since then he has been in the rivers and lakes, and has been respectfully called 'Sai Zhuge 'by his friends in the green forest. ”

It turned out that he was the Jinlan knock friend of the leader of the Shandong Green Forest Alliance, no wonder he was unrestrained in front of many martial arts celebrities, the black eight masters of the Shandong Green Forest League were entrenched in the Black Lion Flame Village in the Yimeng Mountains of Shandong, known as the 'first village in the green forest', the imperial court sent elite soldiers and good generals to encircle and suppress the Black Lion Flame Village several times, and the result was to lose their armor and abandon their armor, almost the entire army was wiped out.

Sai Zhuge looked at the guest and laughed, "Your Excellency is right, the mountain people are indeed using a 'tiger roaring picture' to show the heroic liver and gall of the friends of the green forest, and this picture is still hanging on the Juyi Hall of the Black Lion Flame Village. ”

Among the people, there are people who have dealings with the Black Lion Flame Village, and naturally they have seen this picture in the Gathering Hall of the Village, but they have not seen it, and they have also heard of the name of the Black Eighth Master.

Sai Zhuge drank a glass of wine on his back, and said eloquently, "In fact, the mountain people used to be a family of eunuchs, and they served the court loyally for generations, but it is a pity that the court is corrupt, the traitorous ministers and corrupt officials are in charge, and the ancestor is honest and self-clean, and he is committed to his duties, but he was killed in a tragic manner......" Speaking of this, his face has changed, his eyes are blood-red, and he continued;" More than 300 lives, blood splashed at noon, the great injustice, the mountain people's wives and children, all of them were tortured, only the mountain people went out alone and survived, the court everywhere Haiwen notice, wanted the mountain people to return to the case, the mountain people were anxious like a fish that slipped through the net, the end of the world was dead, when they fled to the Jeju Mansion in Shandong, the mountain people were in broken clothes, like beggars, they had no money, and they did not eat a mouthful of food for three days and three nights, the mountain people were forced to be helpless, so they had to put away the ancestral jade pendant that was close to them, ready to fill their hunger, but the mountain people suddenly suffered a catastrophe, seeing that their relatives were lost, and they were resentful and angry'Tiger roaring picture', and the inscription;'Temporarily borrow the moat grass as a city, and gather the green forest with courage.' The coming day is fierce and thunderous, and the lonely peak roars vertically and horizontally. At that time, thousands of onlookers watched, and the mountain people threw their pens and shouted after making pictures; "The law of the country is dim, the people are not happy, Shandong is a place where the heroes of the green forest gather since ancient times, Han Ru did not eat a mouthful of food for three days, and sold the silver of the ancestral jade pendant to make this picture dedicated to the friends of the green forest, and I hope that the heroes of Liangshanbo who fought against corruption and killed the bullies will reappear today...... At this moment, two or three strong men in black jumped out of the crowd and knocked all the fast catchers to the ground, and an old man in black walked in, he looked at the white silk drawings on the ground for a while, clapped his hands and shouted: "Well drawn, the old man is willing to pay five thousand taels of snowflakes and silver to buy it." 'This old man is naturally the eldest brother who later made friends with the mountain people, the black lion and the black eighth master of the Flame Village, and the 'Tiger Roaring Map' naturally hangs over the righteous hall of the Flame Village......"

Sai Zhuge had a heinous past experience, and the guests in the hall were all heartbroken, and they all expressed sympathy for him.

After hearing this, Jian Nanhong and Jiang Shuyuan on the other table couldn't help but glance at each other, they couldn't believe their ears, more than 300 lives, full of blood feuds, it was incredible...... No wonder the court's arrest is still wanted for him, Jian Nanhong suddenly thought: 'He is a weak Confucian scribe, clearly does not understand martial arts, the court wants to arrest him, it is enough to send a generally competent catcher, there is no need to lead to the two big tigers in the 'Five Tigers Flying Catch', the two big tigers are famous in the five northern provinces, it should be more than enough to deal with him and the two strong men in white...... 'Jian Nanhong was guessing wildly, and was suddenly interrupted by a shout outside.

Zhuang Ding reported loudly, "Four of the six Qing Yu warriors of the Wudang faction, the head of Xuanqing Dao has arrived!"

The six Qing Yushi of the Wudang faction are famous all over the country, and everyone stood up after hearing the news and greeted each other with fists.

A middle-aged Taoist priest appeared at the door of the hall, with a light gray Taijitu robe, his hair in a high bun, his green beard fluttering slightly, his eyes were clear and transparent, and he was carrying an ancient long sword.

The dragon and tiger duo left their seats and greeted each other, "Brother Dao, the journey is hard, the wind and dust are smeared, the brother's false age and foolish age alarmed the Dao to grow up, and the brothers and brothers are ashamed. ”

Xuanqing Dao Chang replied with a single palm, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, a farewell is another year, the birthday of the two chivalrous brothers, how can the poor Dao not come?"

The Dragon and Tiger Twin Heroes laughed and said, "It's rare for the Taoist to be gracious, please come to the table, let's talk about it." ”

Steward Tan hurriedly arranged for the Xuanqing Daoist to sit down next to Long Xia, and the Tiger Man caught a glimpse of Jian Nanhong on the other table, and hurriedly said to Xuanqing Daochang, "Oh, there is already a junior in the Daoist Gui faction. After speaking, he pointed to Jian Nanhong on the other table with his hand.

Seeing this, Jian Nanhong hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists and saluted, "Junior student Jian Nanhong pays a visit to Xuanqing Dao Chief!" He had already known from Zhuang Ding's registration just now that the person who came was Xuanqing Dao Chief, one of the six Qing Yu scholars in Wudang.

Xuanqing Dao Chief's eyes were like lightning, and he looked at Jian Nanhong for a while, his eyes were full of doubts, and he said, "Are you really a disciple of our sect?

As soon as Daoist Xuanqing said this, it was clear that the young man in front of him was not a disciple of Wudang at all, otherwise he should know both Taoist and lay disciples.

Shuangxia was also greatly surprised, the young man's skin was jade, his nose was plump, his eyes were transparent like clear ice, his eyes were shining and crystalline, his body was beautiful, his connotation was profound, his temperament was elegant, and he was clearly the superior Zixiao martial arts attainments of the general source of the inner family, how could he not be a Wudang disciple?

Jian Nanhong was speechless for a while, his face was embarrassed, and he quickly explained, "The student is indeed from Wudang Zixiaomen, and there is another hidden situation among them, so it is inconvenient to tell you for the time being, and the student will be allowed to take it slowly in the future." ”

Daoist Xuanqing smiled faintly, didn't say anything more, and sat next to Long Xia, and the banquet began again.

Jiang Shuyuan drank a glass of wine, lightly touched Jian Nanhong, and asked in a low voice, "Gongzi is really from Wudang Sect?"

Jian Nanhong nodded, sighed and explained, "It's just ......"

"You don't have to explain, I believe you," Jiang Shuyuan interrupted him, and said, "In fact, everyone has sorrows and hidden feelings, and they don't have to confide in the world, since they are friends, they must trust each other, and believing in friends means believing in themselves." ”

Cups collide, chopsticks rise and fall, mixed with a variety of different heights, thick and shrill tones of the Tiannanhaibei, making the atmosphere of the banquet more intense, the group of heroes in the burning of spirits, drinking in large cups, spitting freely, talking about the anecdotes of the rivers and lakes and some martial arts anecdotes.

On the side table stood a boy wearing a dark green wide sprinkle shirt, thin and rugged, with a pale complexion, covered with a green and gloomy atmosphere, he came to the chief dragon and tiger shuangxia with a glass full of wine, raised a glass to the shuangxia and said, "In the next long time to admire the name of the dragon and tiger shuangxia, like thunder, only hate the clouds and rain apart, did not have the opportunity to meet, today is a good time, it is really not a great honor." ”

The Dragon and Tiger Heroes had no choice but to stand up, raise their glasses and salute in return, "Thanks to the promotion, the old man can't afford it." Seeing that the other party was unfamiliar with the face, Tiger Man couldn't help asking, "Forgive the old man for being clumsy and presumptuous, as if he doesn't know Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please give your surname Gao?"

"In the Yanshui Village of Lower Taihu Lake, Mo Xiaochun 'dotted the water swallow'. "The green-shirted boy has signed up for the number, Taihu Yanshui Village is a giant in the Jiangnan water, and Mo Xiaochun, the 'water swallow', is the master of the three villages in Yanshui Village, and he is a tough figure among the gangsters in Jiangnan Shuibo.

The Dragon and Tiger Shuangxia were stunned when they heard this, secretly thinking that the Dragon and Tiger Villa had no contact with Yanshui Village, and my brothers lived in a simple place, not only on their birthdays, but also simply invited some old friends to talk about their old friends, how could they attract people from Yanshui Village in the south of the Yangtze River? But out of courtesy, Shuangxia still politely drank with Mo Xiaochun, the 'little water swallow'.

Jian Nanhong estimated that the sky was completely dark, and couldn't help but whisper to Jiang Shudao, "Brother Tai, why didn't we see them come to Longhu Villa at this time?"

Jiang Shuyuan thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe they like to sleep in the mountains and valleys, and it's not too late to arrive tomorrow when the two heroes are born." ”

The banquet was not dispersed until late at night, Steward Tan was busy arranging for Zhuang Ding to lead everyone to the wing room behind the lobby to sleep, and when he went out of the hall door, Jian Nanhong felt that the corners of his clothes were being pulled, and when he turned around, it was the four feather priests of the Wudang faction, Xuanqing Dao Chief.

Daoist Xuanqing approached Jian Nanhong's ear and whispered, "Why does Gongzi want to pretend to be a member of my Wudang Sect?" Without waiting for Jian Nanhong to explain, he whispered again, "The next time we meet, no matter where we meet, we will definitely give Poor Dao a satisfactory explanation." After saying that, he stepped forward and laughed with the others as if nothing had happened.

After everyone finished arranging, Long Xia turned around and instructed Jiang Shuyuan, "Virtuous nephew, you follow the old man and brother to the backyard to live in the 'Wozhuxuan', that is where your ancestor must sleep every time he comes here. ”

Jiang Shuyuan nodded and replied, "Thank you two uncles, but this sword friend, the junior wants to take him to sleep together, and we brothers still have a lot to talk about." ”

The two heroes hesitated for a moment, but readily agreed, "Okay!"

The group walked straight to the backyard, and suddenly someone behind them shouted, "Two heroes stay!"

The two heroes stopped when they heard the sound, and when they looked back, it was Sai Zhuge who walked forward with a smile and saluted, "The mountain man wants to talk to the two heroes about his heartfelt words, I wonder if the two heroes can give me a lesson?"

"Please!" Shuangxia respected his heroic bearing, and also looked at the face of the Black Lion Flame Village, and warmly invited Sai Zhuge to go to the 'Begonia Garden' in the backyard to talk.

Everyone came to the living room of the Begonia Garden to sit down, the servants offered fragrant tea to everyone, and everyone picked up the teacup to drink a few hot teas and flushed the wine.

Sai Zhuge took a few sips of tea, put the teacup on a few tables, glanced at Jiang Shuyuan and Jian Nanhong with his eyes, and then said, "I think the people in this room are not outsiders?"

"Of course, if you have anything to say, sir, please tell me directly. Dragonman replied with a smile.

Seeing that Long Xia said this, Sai Zhuge stood up and paced back and forth in the room, and said slowly, "Shanren has lived in the rivers and lakes, drifted for several years, and has met many martial arts wizards. ”

Speaking of this, his eyes were blazing, and he continued: "The mountain people watch the stars at night, occupy the situation, and predict that the world will soon change hands in chaos, and everyone knows that although the emperor and the king have worked hard to rule the world, how can they have too many traitors and filthy officials, and how can they cure the world once and for all? Looking at the officials of the provincial prefectures and counties under the command of the army of Wang Shi, who is not a greedy person who withholds military salaries at all levels and scrapes the people's fat and ointment, as soon as a war breaks out, the soldiers and the people are hungry and the taxes are heavy, who is willing to fight the enemy?"

The Dragon and Tiger Shuangxia knew that he was persecuted by corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the imperial court, and he was wronged by blood feuds, so he naturally had a rebellious and dissatisfied heart towards the imperial court, and it was reasonable for him to vent his grievances and complain, Long Xia hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt him, "Mr. Zhuge is really meticulous and unique in analyzing the world, but the old man and brother are just ordinary cloth clothes, and they never ask about swordsmen. ”

"No," Sai Zhuge became excited, and continued; "The Ming Dynasty has run out of energy, and a generation of rivers and mountains will change hands, and it is the time when heroes emerge in troubled times, dragons and snakes are mixed, and tigers and dogs are chasing each other, how can the eldest husband sit idly by? Not only do you not want to fight for an official position to seal your wife and son, but also fight for a place in the martial arts!"

"What the hell does the gentleman have to say, three words or two words, long story short, be happy!" Tiger Man reminded a little impatiently.

Sai Zhuge let out a long breath, paused for a moment, and continued; Shanren simply said that as far as the situation of the Central Plains martial arts is concerned, Zhongzhou is about to hold a martial arts alliance, the Tianwei gate master of Luoyang, your land, Gongsun Shaojie, is young and promising, talented, righteous and thin, will be able to bravely crown the heroes, and be embraced as the leader of the alliance, Gongsun has sent an invitation to the two owners, inviting the two owners to come out of the alliance, with a strong reputation, but the two owners did not give a reply, so the mountain people came to the treasure land of Guizhuang, is to invite the two owners to take care of the overall situation, out of the martial arts alliance, and the ancestors of the Gongsun Sect and the two owners are also considered to be friends with each other, the new situation in Zhongzhou and the feelings of the old people, the mountain people think that the two owners will not stand by?”

Everyone finally understood the true purpose of his trip to Dragon and Tiger Villa, and Jian Nanhong hurriedly asked, "What does it have to do with the Martial Arts Alliance and Mr. Analyzing the world's luck just now?"

"Of course there is," Sai Zhuge shook his sleeves, and said with words, "The eunuchs are in power, the kings are mediocre, the officials are forced to rebel against the people, and the heroes of the green forest like my righteous brother have thirty-six people and horses to uncover the pole uprising, shocking the imperial court, but they only want to protect themselves, not the climate, and the foundation is shallow, after all, it is difficult to achieve a great cause, and now there is a group of people and horses with abundant grain and grass, and the war horses are high, and the royal family is a virtuous corporal, regardless of the birth, the capable are rewarded, and they can worship the general and wait for the ......"

Jian Nanhong was about to continue to ask along with his words, but Jiang Shuyuan couldn't bear it anymore, and with a crisp sound, he smashed the teacups on several tables, stood upright, and pointed like a halberd, pointing at Sai Zhuge and said angrily, "You are going around and around to be a lobbyist for Tianweimen, and you also want to be a lobbyist for foreign races, so I respect you for being a person of insight." ”

Sai Zhuge was not afraid, and rushed to Bai Dao in the face of Jiang Ying's long-cherished wish: "Jiang Yingying, don't be angry, what's wrong with Tianweimen? What's wrong with foreign races? As long as the officials are honest, it is good for the people to live a peaceful life, Jiang Yingying is a masterful art, if he can put it into practice, he will definitely be able to achieve a career." ”

"Stop!" Jiang Shuyuan roared loudly, "Thinking that you have wronged a blood debt, and also reading that you have no power to restrain the chicken, and you don't know the slightest martial arts, you will immediately take your people out of the Dragon and Tiger Villa, but don't call the word Zhuge in vain in the future, so as not to blaspheme the Chinese martyrs." ”

Sai Zhuge snorted coldly and looked at Jiang Shuyuan quietly, but he had no intention of leaving.

Seeing this, Long Xia hurriedly got up and said to Sai Zhuge "Please go back and tell the master of the Gongsun Sect, the old man and brother have been living in seclusion for many years, and they will not ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes again, and the Martial Arts League will never be listed, you can go!"

Sai Zhuge shook his head and replied with a grin, "The mountain people will not leave just now, and they will stay in Guizhuang for a few days, and the mountain people will naturally change their minds after considering the two owners. ”

Tiger Man was furious on the side, and yelled at Sai Zhuge "What kind of place are you and my Dragon Tiger Villa?

Sai Zhuge looked at Tiger Man and did not answer, his expression was fearless.

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Shuyuan was even more angry, and said through gritted teeth, "You don't want to rely on the Black Lion Flame Village to be presumptuous here, and it doesn't matter what the origin is to kill people in the future!"

"If there is something wrong with the mountain people in Guizhuang-" Sai Zhuge shrugged his shoulders and said, "Not only will the Black Lion Flame Village come to ask for the guilt, but also other friends who don't know how many times stronger than the Black Lion Flame Village will also come to ask for an explanation, in fact, the mountain people respect the heroes of Xian Kunzhong and the two young heroes, everyone think about it more and say goodbye!" After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the living room.

Jiang Shuyuan's face and cheeks shook slightly, and his hand had already reached the dart bag on his waist, Jian Nanhong hurriedly pressed his hand quietly, sighed and said, "Hatred can bury everything, more than three hundred lives, he is already pitiful enough, he doesn't know who to make friends with in order to take revenge, let him fend for himself." ”

Long Xia also had a little pity and sympathy, "This nerd is eager for revenge, and he is in a hurry to go to the doctor, his mood is understandable." ”

After calming down for a while, Long Xia instructed Jiang Shuyuan and Jian Nanhong again, "It's getting late, and the two virtuous nephews should go to bed early, recuperate their spirits, and have a drink with many friends tomorrow." ”

Jiang long-cherished wish, Jian Nanhong said goodbye to the two heroes, walked out of the Begonia Garden with Steward Tan, passed through a dense bamboo forest, and came to the 'Wozhu Xuan' in the depths of the backyard, which is a delicate cottage, several Nanzhu rooms, surrounded by straight bamboo forests, pavilions and corridors, next to a pool of clear water, reflecting the moon shadow, a gust of night wind blowing, the bamboo forest swaying with the wind, sending out a soft and harmonious rhyme.

Jiang Shuyuan begged Steward Tan and said, "Uncle Tan, I'm sorry, please ask your old man to ask someone to prepare some more wine and food for our brothers, and we have to drink a few more glasses." ”

Steward Tan immediately agreed, "Okay, the old man will ask someone to clean up the room for you, and bring wine and food by the way." ”

The two of them sat opposite each other on the wooden table of the bamboo pavilion, and there were several begonia flowers planted outside the pavilion, and the blooming flowers and branches and leaves stretched into the pavilion, fluttering with the night breeze from time to time, sultry thoughts.

Zhuang Ding sent cups and saucers of wine and food, and Jiang Su was willing to pour three glasses of wine with Jian Nanhong.

The moon was in the sky, under the cool moonlight, the blue waves rippled, the bamboo shadows swayed, and the flowers trembled slightly. ”

"Brother Tai said there, a rare moonlit night, wine as a companion, the ancients said; ’”

The two of them drank for a while, and Jian Nanhong suddenly said, "That Sai Zhuge not only has something to do with the grandson of Tianweimen, but it seems that he also has collusion with foreign nations in his tone, and the student guesses that his background must be very deep, otherwise it will not lead to the tiger hunt to personally pursue and arrest him......

"Alas," Jiang Shuyuan sighed and blamed himself, "It's all to blame for being reckless, Gongzi didn't take out his words, but when I heard that he was actually a lobbyist for Gongsun Shaojie, I really wanted to kill him." ”

Jian Nanhong thought about it, "It's a pity that Isai Zhuge has lost his knowledge and talent to be in the company of those treacherous villains, and the students have indeed seen many loyal ministers and good people persecuted by the imperial court when they travel to the rivers and lakes, and they are really worried about the country......"

Jiang Shuyuan raised his glass and said, "Let's not talk about this, come, drink!" After speaking, he drank in large cups, he drank very much, as if he was not drunk, so it can be imagined that his loneliness and pain have been discharged in the wine for ten years.

The first moon has passed the middle of the day, it is already the second half of the night, the night wind has carried the cool cold air of autumn, Jiang Shuyuan reached out and gently stroked the begonia flowers that came in from outside the pavilion, his eyes were obsessed, his expression was indulged in reminiscence, and the pupils of his eyes flashed with the excited light of memory.

"Brother Tai seems to have a soft spot for begonia flowers?" Jian Nanhong couldn't help asking.

Jiang Shuwan didn't look back, and replied leisurely, "When I was a teenager, my sister was very fond of begonia flowers, and the two of us planted a lot of begonia flowers together, and when the flowers bloomed, I chose the most colorful and beautiful flowers to fill her head......" His voice was as blurred as a dream, and he said it to Jian Nanhong, let alone himself.

Jiang Shuyuan took off the copper flute from his back, the horizontal flute was in his hand, his lips moved, his fingers were separated, and he played a piece of music.

In the quiet night, the flute sound is particularly pleasant, the melody is light and bright, this is a 'butterfly love flower' song, the narrative color butterfly is flying with wings, lingering, Fang Buddha is the only one in this world.

He sank into deep memories, memories make people painful and bitter, but also make people excited, so people often recall and remember, forget reality in memories, and return to the past in memories......

Jian Nanhong touched the situation, sighed, although very sympathetic to his obsession, but also a little envious of him, after all, he had a good past, had a sweetheart, so he had memories, unlike himself, the journey of life is like a blank piece of paper, only full of longing and fantasy for his children, he sometimes thinks that he has also received the favor of a girl, and even said that today's achievements are inseparable from her grace, he often misses her, but he is still young when he gets along with her, he doesn't know if this is love......

There was a strange sound in the depths of the forest in the backyard, and Jian Nanhong immediately shouted alertly, "Brother Tai, there is a strange sound in the depths of the jungle ahead. ”

"Oh," Jiang Shuyuan seemed to wake up from his dream, inserted the bronze flute with his backhand, and his starry eyes also returned to bright and flickering, and immediately said, "Let's go, let's see!"
