Chapter 7: A Chance Encounter at the Inn
On the official road, the two horsemen walked side by side, galloping past. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info On the left side of the ride is a beautiful woman, about thirty years old. On the right is a Taoist priest in Tsing Yi. I only heard the Taoist priest say: "Huang Gang Master, you are sick, let's go slowly." The Golden Wheel Dharma King must have another purpose for taking Miss Guo away, and Miss Guo should be okay for the time being. "It was Li Changqing and Huang Rong who came out to chase after King Jinlun.
The two of them got out of Zhuangzi, identified the direction, and galloped all the way. Li Changqing knew that she was pregnant, and although she was not showing up at this time, she should not work too hard, so she was so comforted. Huang Rong said: "I'm fine." Even so, she slowed down.
At this time, the stars are everywhere, the moon is in the sky, and although it is night, the sky is not very dark. Li Changqing frowned when he saw her, knowing that she was worried about her daughter. He looked at the sky, and saw that although the moon was only half bent, it was also quite bright. When the bright moon was in the sky, he couldn't help but think of his relatives, and couldn't help but sigh. In his previous life, he sought the Tao, stayed away from the world, and abandoned his relatives, is it worth it?
Li Changqing saw that Huang Rong was still in a trance, so he said: "Gang Leader Huang, it is dark at this time, and it is very inconvenient to walk at night, we might as well find a place to rest for a while, and make plans tomorrow morning." Huang Rong came back to his senses and said, "What did you say" Li Changqing smiled slightly, and told him again about the intention of seeking land and avoiding it for the time being. Li Changqing looked around, and saw that there seemed to be a broken temple in front of him, so he stretched out his hand and pointed: "Gang Leader Huang, there is a broken temple ahead, let's go over and take a look." Huang Rong glanced at Li Changqing's point, and faintly found that the temple was ruined in front of her, so she rode away slowly with Li Changqing.
After a short walk, the two of them came to the ruined temple. The dilapidated temple is not big, and there are several big trees next to the temple, all of which only have a few leaves left. At this time, it was late autumn, and the temples under the trees were covered with dead branches and leaves. The two tied their horses to a tree, and when they saw that the temple door was ajar and there seemed to be no one in the temple, they pushed the door and walked in. The space in the temple is not large, there is a Buddha statue in front of it, but the upper part is missing. In the center was a fire, which had long since burned out, and there were pots and pans scattered around it.
Li Changqing knew that this was the stronghold of the Huazi, and at this time, the Great Shengguan Heroes Banquet was related to the change of the beggar gang, and all the Huazi went to the Dashengguan, so the temple was empty. As soon as Li Changqing cleaned up a little, he vacated a place in the middle, went out to pick up some dead branches, and piled them in the middle to become a fire. Huang Rong took out the fire knife and flint, lit the fire, and the two sat around the fire.
Li Changqing looked at Huang Rong and saw that she was just looking at the fire in a daze, so he smiled and said: "You are the head of the beggar, now that you have come to this beggar temple to observe the people's feelings, you can be regarded as caring about the people's welfare, but unfortunately the people don't know that you are there, and no one will receive you." Huang Rong also smiled and said, "My beggar gang has countless people, and I don't have to worry about no one receiving me anywhere." She paused and said, "The beggar gang is all over the world, and as the former gang leader, I sometimes feel extremely sad. Li Changqing said: "As the leader of the beggar gang, although people dare not underestimate it, I still hope that there are no beggars in the world." Huang Rong said: "In the drama of Mongolia's southern invasion of Japan, every time a city is captured, it is often slaughtered to vent its anger. In such a fierce name, the people fled one after another. When they go to another place, if they have no means of livelihood, they become beggars. Li Changqing said: "Yes, the Huang Gang Leader held a hero conference to concentrate the power of the original martial arts to prevent the southern invasion of Mongolia." ”
Li Changqing said: "Does the Huang Gang Leader think that the Anti-Mongolian Alliance has a future?" Huang Rong said: "Although the Tartar is temporarily powerful, but concentrating the power of the original martial arts can also stop him." Li Changqing said: "The Mongolian army, each of them is a long-time battle-hardened person, although the Central Plains heroes are stronger than them in personal strength, but most of them are fighters, and when they get to the battlefield, they are useless." Seeing that Huang Rong was silent, Li Changqing said again: "Although Guo Daxia's strength is strong, he is also inferior to a million army. I'm afraid that I can only stick to one city. Just like the stone in the stream, although it can break the flow for a while, but under the accumulation of water potential, it will eventually be washed away. With Guo Daxia, he can defend the city for ten or twenty years, but the day the city is broken, I am afraid it will be a more severe killing. Huang Rong said slowly: "Then I can only do my best and obey the fate of heaven." ”
Li Changqing saw her look and didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he said: "The Guo and Yang families have been friends for many generations, and Miss Guo and Brother Yang are talented and beautiful, which should be a match made in heaven, but unfortunately Brother Yang's parents died when he was a child, but his personality is a little extreme." Huang Rong's expression was slightly softened, and she said, "My sister Mu died early, and I thought of this when Brother Jing and I took Guo'er to Peach Blossom Island." She smiled slightly and said, "I saw my son's strange personality at that time, and I was worried that he would be like his father, so I only taught him to learn literature in the future, thinking that he would become a generation of literary heroes, so it would be good to guard Fu'er." Li Changqing also smiled and said, "It's a pity that Brother Yang didn't understand the hard work of the Huang Gang Leader, but he thought that the Huang Gang Leader didn't like him, and he secretly practiced the Toad Gong alone, so he had a future." Huang Rong smiled: "How do you know this?" Li Changqing said: "Not only do I know this, but I also know about the little beggar who stole steamed buns back then." Huang Rong was stunned, as if she had remembered something, and said with an angry face: "Thief Taoist, what nonsense are you talking about" She said: "You can pinch and calculate, tell me where Fu'er is, if you can't say it, you look good." ”
Li Changqing's expression was serious, his right hand made a calculation, and after a while, he smiled and said: "I know below, tomorrow the Huang gang leader just needs to follow below." Li Changqing once gave Guo Fu a jade pendant. In addition to all the wonderful things about that jade pendant, it also has a wisp of divine thought attached to him, and he can faintly perceive its direction. Huang Rong hurriedly said: "Have you figured it out?" Li Changqing sighed slightly, and said, "It's a pity that the Huang Gang Leader didn't bring my divine sword, otherwise the Huang Gang Leader would have been able to see his beloved daughter immediately." Huang Rong paused, raised her hand, hurried away with the bamboo stick in her hand, and said angrily: "Thief Taoist, what kind kind am I saying to you." ”
Li Changqing turned sideways to avoid it, and laughed and said: "With the next means, if there are evil thoughts, the Huang Gang Leader can't avoid it." Huang Rong was stunned, and then regretted traveling with her. Li Changqing saw her look and knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "As for the people below, the Huang Gang Leader can rest assured. Although it is beautiful at the moment, there will be no overstepping the courtesy. Huang Rong said angrily: "Thief Taoist, if you talk nonsense again, I will not be polite." With that, he moved backwards, and his horizontal stick was in front of him, his face full of vigilance.
Li Changqing felt funny, but he didn't say anything more. He took off his robe, walked over to her, spread it on the ground, and sat cross-legged in its place, meditating intently. Huang Rong looked at Li Changqing, then at the robe on the ground, and was silent by default. Eventually, she walked over, lay down on top of her robe, and remained silent.
After a night of silence, before I knew it, it was already dark, and the fire in the house had long been extinguished. Li Changqing got up and saw that Huang Rong had also woken up, so he said, "Gang Leader Huang, you light the fire, and I'll go look for some prey." With that, he walked out.
There are not many people here, but there is not much prey. Li Changqing took a long time, and only found two rabbits. He carried one in one hand and walked back. When I returned to the ruined temple, the fire was raging in the house. Huang Rong looked at Li Changqing and said, "Thief Taoist, you take off your robe, but you are also a little angry." Li Changqing said: "Oh, then I won't wear a robe in the future." He handed the rabbit to Huang Rong and said, "I have heard for a long time that the chef of the Huang Gang is extraordinary, and he is even more beautiful than the Huang Gang Leader, so I am fortunate to see it today." ”
After the ruined temple is a stream, the water of which is clear. Huang Rong washed and peeled the rabbit and roasted it on the fire.
Li Changqing took the rabbit meat, and saw that although there was no seasoning on it, it was also extraordinarily fragrant, and it was really delicious when he took a bite. Li Changqing said: "This meal should only be in the sky, and it should be heard a few times in the world." It is not in vain to be able to have the privilege of tasting the Huang Gang Master's mastery. ”
The two rode their horses all the way, and in the evening they came to a town. Li Changqing said: "Gang Leader Huang, this matter is not in a hurry, let's find an inn to rest for one night first, and then talk about it tomorrow." Huang Rong said: "It's okay", and immediately rode to the inn first. Huang Rong didn't believe Li Changqing's words at first, but after inquiring along the way, she gradually discovered the traces of King Jinlun and his party, and knew that what Li Changqing said was true, and gradually relieved herself.
The two dismounted in front of the inn, and a man had already come forward. Li Changqing handed the horse to the guy and said, "Take it down and feed it well with high-quality forage." After that, he went to the interior with Huang Rong. Li Changqing walked to the counter and said to the shopkeeper: "Two upper rooms" The shopkeeper saw that he was dressed up, and he knew that he was a person in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't dare to slack off. He frowned and said with a wry smile: "There were originally two rooms in the Tianzi room, but not long ago, a man and a woman booked one, and now there is only one left." He looked at the two of them and said, "Otherwise, you two will squeeze it." "What are you talking about?" Li Changqing turned his face to look, but saw Huang Rong was full of anger and shouted at the shopkeeper. Li Changqing said: "Then book another ordinary room."
After paying, a guy led the two away. Li Changqing followed the little guy in Tsing Yi in front of him and went to the backyard, and after a short walk, he came to the front of the house. The little guy handed the key to Li Changqing and said, "Guest officer, this is your room" and turned to leave. Li Changqing walked into the house and saw that the room was very simple, with only a table, a chair and a bed. He lay on the bed, and couldn't help but think of his past, and gradually became sleepy, and gradually fell asleep.
Huang Rong sat in front of the dresser, took off the copper ring of her hair, picked up the comb, and combed her long hair in front of the bronze mirror. She thought of the drama of Mongolia's southern invasion of Japan, and remembered that her daughter was captured, she couldn't help but be full of sadness, sighed heavily, threw the wooden comb, and walked to the bed. She lay on the bed, but she couldn't sleep, so she got up and pushed the door open.
When I walked to a room, I suddenly heard a male voice say, "Auntie, these are not delicious, wait for me to go down and find you something to eat." Then I saw a person walking out of the room, but it was Yang Guo. Yang Guoqi said: "Aunt Guo, why are you here?" Huang Rong said: "Fu'er was taken captive by the Golden Wheel Dharma King, and you Brother Li and I are here to look for Fu'er." Why are you here again?Is Miss Long also here?" Yang said: "Brother Li is also here?" I left Dasheng Pass with my aunt and walked all the way to the northeast, and suddenly saw King Jinlun and his party. They captured Miss Guo, and my aunt and I came to look for them. Huang Rong said: "What are your plans next?" Yang said: "Brother Li is here, don't worry about me, my aunt and I will go back to the ancient tomb tomorrow, and never come out again." Yang said: "Where is Aunt Guo going?" Huang Rong said: "I don't have anything to do, take a look around." Yang said: "The little nephew will retire first." ”
Huang Rong pushed the door and entered, and saw the dragon girl sitting on the bed. Huang Rong stepped forward and sat beside her. Seeing that she was innocent and ignorant of the world, she said, "What are the plans of the dragon girl?" The dragon girl said: "I will go back to the ancient tomb with Guo'er, get married, and never come out again." Huang Rong said: "You and Guo'er are not in accordance with the etiquette law, you are together, but the world looks down on you." The dragon girl frowned slightly and said, "Will they look down on them?"
Huang Rong said: "What does the ancient tomb look like?" The dragon girl said: "The ancient tomb is a big tomb. I have lived in it with Master since I was a child. After Master died, I lived with Guo'er. Huang Rong said again: "You will always live in the ancient tomb in the future, don't you feel bored?" The dragon girl was very happy, walked around the house, and said: "There are many bad people in this world, they are very bad, I don't like it. There are no outsiders in the ancient tomb, and it is very quiet. Huang Rong said: "Guo'er is lively by nature, won't he feel bored?" The dragon girl said: "With me by your side, it won't be boring." Huang Rong said: "After a long time, I will feel bored after a while." The dragon girl pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Will he?" Huang Rong saw that her expression suddenly became cold, and she regretted what she said, and then listened to the dragon girl: "I'll go and ask my son, and I won't tell you." ”
Huang Rong saw the dragon girl go out, and also got up to leave. Feeling bored, she went back to her room and rested.
