After Lin Fanyun and the little beggar rested in the ruined temple for the night, they went to Zhenjiang together in the early morning of the second day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, Qiu Wuxie, was furious after learning the news of the little beggar's escape. Kneeling in the hall were more than a dozen Haisha Gang second-in-command Ma Wan and his minions. Qiu Wuxian said: My nephew was in the prime of life, but he was killed. And you are even more useless, you can let him escape, what is the use of leaving you. Where is the disciple? Pull these years down and feed the five poisons.
The disciples of the Haisha Gang kowtowed and begged for mercy, but the heart of the Qiu Sect Master who lost his love for his nephew was difficult to heal, and Qiu Wuxian was infertile for life due to practicing poisonous palms, and Qiu Wanxiong was the only heir of the Qiu family. Now he was killed by a little beggar, and he was angry. The skull of the flower snake in his right hand was crushed
The Five Poisons Sect is transmitted from the Miao people in the southwest. After being introduced to the Central Plains, it developed into a cult of the Five Poisons, which refers to snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads, geckos and other poisons. These poisons were raised in captivity since childhood, and when they grew up, they were put in the poison pool, and they were bitten for a term, and finally said that the one who remained would be the king of the five poisons. These were originally Miao Jiang's methods of practicing Gu, but they changed after they were introduced to the Central Plains. The Five Poisons Sect has a holy relic, which is the King of Ten Thousand Poisons, the Ten Thousand Years Golden Snake, and the Five Poison Kings raised by the Five Poisons Sect all feed the Golden Snake. The venom of the 10,000-year-old golden snake is extremely violent, as long as it is bitten by a poisonous snake, even the Daluo Immortal is helpless.
Lin Fanyun walked east and again in the little beggar, and the little beggar only walked hundreds of miles for three days. The area around Yixing Mansion is where the Five Poisons Sect is located. The little beggars didn't know that the danger was approaching, but they still enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Yixing Mansion.
People unconsciously walked into Yixing, and it was noon. The little beggar saw a restaurant and walked in excitedly. When the shopkeeper saw the little beggar looking dirty, he obviously came to eat and drink, pushing and pushing her out.
What are you doing? Are you afraid that I won't have the money to pay the bills? I'm telling you, I have enough money to buy your entire Yixing City. The little beggar said to the shopkeeper.
If you have the money, you will dress like this, hurry out and don't delay our business. The shopkeeper continued to push the little beggar and said.
Seeing that Lin Fanyun's clothes were not very glamorous, the store said to Lin Fanyun: How can Childe be friends with Xiao Hanako.
The little beggar said, "Why not, don't you prepare food and drinks?"
After the two sat down, the shopkeeper came up with two dishes of vegetarian dishes. When the little beggar saw this, he said, "Are you here for people, even the pigs are better than this?"
The shopkeeper looked at the little flower in front of him and said so harshly: Then what do you want to eat?
I'm afraid you don't have anything to eat.
At this time, the shopkeeper heard the news and said to the little Hanako: This little brother, as long as you can say it, I can do it for you.
After the little beggar stood up and took a look at this restaurant, forget it, I am not embarrassed, you can just make two dishes casually, and now there is a golden silk snow swallow, the snow swallow must use the purebred snow swallow brought from the Rakshasa country when Zheng He went down to Nanyang, and the snow swallow from the South China Sea cannot be used. Another ironclad deer must be stuffed with meat on the buttocks of wild deer in the north, and no other meat can be used.
Lin Fanyun was stunned when he heard the little beggar say these dishes, he had never heard of these dishes. Then two bowls of bamboo noodles, remember that the noodles must be rolled out with bamboo, and then cut very finely.
Your little Hanako's mouth is so tricky. The shopkeeper said to the little beggar.
The shopkeeper looked at Lin Fanyun, and Lin Fanyun smiled and nodded. The shopkeeper went down to prepare the dishes.
After the two of them finished eating, they walked out of the restaurant, and Lin Fanyun said that brother, why don't I buy you a dress. The little beggar hurriedly vetoed it, saying that I like this. Leave the money for dinner, and this meal only cost more than fifty taels.
Lin Fanyun took out the money bag from his arms and said: This brother, I'll give you a few dozen taels of silver, and as he spoke, he took out two ingots of silver and handed them to the little beggar, and the little beggar didn't have any subordinates, but said: Okay, I'll eat less for the next meal.
Lin Fanyun said: After giving it to you, I don't have much. What I'm saying is true.
Okay, you don't have to worry about money, you come with me, after speaking, he pulled Lin Fanyun into the Supreme Spinning.
The Supreme Square was originally a casino, and the casino was so lively, fish, shrimp and crabs, guessing the size, and Tianjiu were full of gamblers. The little beggar walked up to the guessing table and said to the dealer: Wow, it's such a big game. I want to be the banker.
The dealer was an old man who looked at the little beggar in front of him and said, "Do you have any money?"
Don't you dare to come here without money, as he spoke, he took out two ingots of silver from Lin Fanyun and put them on the table. Holding the color cup and shouting: If you bet big and win big, hurry up and pull it down. Gamblers who wanted to bet on the table one after another.
Okay, open. Leopards kill.
The following successive shots are all leopard kills, and everyone is very strange. The little beggar won more than two hundred taels of silver, and he was so excited that he accidentally fell from his arms.
Okay! The dealer shouted.
Seeing this, the little beggar hurriedly put away the silver taels, pulled Lin Fanyun and ran. Many gamblers were chasing and shouting. The two ran to the street, and the little beggar threw out a little silver in his hand and shouted: "Everyone, pick up the money." At this time, the people walking on the street bent down to pick up money to stop the gamblers, and the little beggar ran away when he saw that the plan was successful.
At this time, the disciples of the Haisha Gang came to check when they saw such a noise on the street, and they recognized at a glance that the little beggar was killing Qiu Wanxiong, and hurriedly followed him.
The little beggar pulled Lin Fanyun and ran all the way to the land temple on the outskirts of the city before stopping, making sure that the gambler did not continue to chase after him, and threw the money bag with a smile. Lin Fanyun asked: Why are they chasing us? The little beggar made it up and said:
I've lost money. The Haisha Gang saw that the two of them stayed in the mountain temple, and the leader beckoned a minion to report the news, and he was still observing from the sidelines.
The disciples of the Haisha Gang in the Five Poisons Sect came to report that they had found a trace of the little beggar, and after Qiu Wuxian slapped the seat, he quickly got up and said, "Okay, dare to appear in my territory." As he spoke, he beckoned the minions of the Haisha Gang and the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect to go and capture them. By the time many people arrived at the Mountain Temple, the little beggar had already left with Lin Zuozong, but there were still disciples of the Haisha Gang following behind him.
The little beggar suggested that the two of them go to tour Taihu Lake, but Lin Fanyun only wanted to go to Zhenjiang but couldn't screw the little beggar anyway, so he had to accompany her to visit Taihu Lake according to what the little beggar said.
Taihu Lake is one of the five major freshwater lakes in China, with beautiful scenery and charming spring colors. The little beggar is boating on the Taihu Lake with Lin Fanyun and the others, and there is a beautiful scenery with five words: the sail shadow floats in the sky, the waves are sparkling and the water is clear, the sun is shining, and the sunset is red. The heat decreases with the wind, and the fragrance of flowers enters the twilight; The beauty of Taihu Lake has fascinated many literati and scholars. In that year, Su Dongpo traveled around Taihu Lake and did: the ancient cave of Xiantan cannot be reached, and the magnificent poems such as Yu Lan are singing.
The little beggar saw that Lin Fanyun was attracted by the beauty of Taihu Lake and smiled: How about it, let's come right.
Lin Fanyun nodded again and again. Seeing the beauty of Taihu Lake, Lin Fanyun thought of the past when his father was here to fight against the Japanese invaders, standing on the bow of the boat and looking at the island in the middle of the lake, which was where his father fought. The little beggar saw that Lin Fanyun had been in a daze on the boat and stepped forward and said, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Fanyun hurriedly explained: It's nothing?
The rocker said: It is the island in the middle of the lake. I have been rocking the oars in this Taihu Lake all my life, and I know everything about this Taihu Lake.
Lin Fanyun hurriedly interrogated: Does the old man know about the occupation of the island in the middle of the lake by the Japanese invaders decades ago.
The boat-rocker took out the wine jug from his waist and took a big sip and said: About 20 years ago, Taihu Lake has always been restless, and there have always been water bandits robbing pleasure boats, and then a group of Dongying Japanese robbers came. These bandits are even more hateful than those bandits, not only robbing pleasure boats, but also landing on the shore and killing ordinary people. Later, I heard that two Taoist priests had killed the leader of the Japanese Bandits, and it was not the past 20 years that Taihu Lake was peaceful. The common people gave the island in the middle of the lake a name "Chivalrous Island", and also built a "Chivalrous Pavilion" on the island.
After listening to the old man talking about his father's past, he looked at the island in the middle of the lake and shouted: "Chivalrous Island".
Seeing Lin Fanyun in a daze for a while, the little beggar shouted to Lin Fanyun: Hey.
What's wrong with it. Lin Fanyun, who was interrupted by the little beggar, asked.
Nothing, I'm afraid of you.......," replied the little beggar.
What, what?
Nothing, the old man rocking the boat came to the shore and we had to get off the boat. The little beggar said.
The two approached Wuzhong and landed on the shore, and Lin Fanyun thanked the boat man and then walked into Suzhou City with the little beggar. Gusu City has a long history, and has the reputation of heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou. The prosperity of Suzhou City is not difficult to see from Du Xunhe's poem "Buy water lotus root in the night market, and carry Qiluo in the spring boat".
The two were just in time for the lantern festival in Suzhou City on March 15. Many literati and scholars gathered in Gusu City
