Chapter 2 Shaoyangzi

Qingchuan County Ya is not far from the ferry, and the two of them have arrived just after noon. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After the handover of official duties, the two of them had dinner and were led to the guest room by the official to rest.

It was a very quiet day, and neither of them was very tired. Thinking that there would be a good show of "catching turtles in the urn" later, the two of them were even more energetic and sleepy. Zhong Yunlang sat cross-legged on the bed, breathing and vomiting, practicing the exercises over and over again, his eyes were slightly closed, and others seemed to be asleep.

Ying Wuxin said: "At this time, the two of us are 'waiting for the rabbit', Zhong Ye pretends to sleep, and I can't 'beat the grass and startle the snake'." Immediately he found a chair against the wall and sat down, closed his eyes and fell asleep. The two of them waited like this, but they didn't listen to any movement in the courtyard for a long time.

Gradually, the moon passed in the middle of the sky, Ying Wu had already fallen asleep, Zhong Yunlang had finished his practice, and he was also sleeping lightly with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he heard a soft gurgling sound in the neighboring room, and Zhong Yun woke up when he was on board. I was happy in my heart: "The turtle in the urn is finally here." ”

Immediately listened carefully, only to hear a man whispering: "There is a real dragon lying in the water." The person who spoke was in the courtyard, thinking that he was talking to the guests in the adjacent room through the window, which sounded like an incision in the rivers and lakes. "The phoenix plate on the wood. The man in the room whispered, also a man.

Zhong Yunlang heard that both of them were men's voices, and was slightly disappointed: "It turned out that it wasn't that girl." I didn't want to hear it anymore, but in the blink of an eye, I secretly kept an eye on it. Although most of the various sects and factions in the rivers and lakes take the dragon as the name, they mostly take the words "Qinglong", "Black Dragon", "Jiaolong" and the like, such as Hunan Black Dragon Pond and Liangguang Qinglong Gang. "True Dragon" means the Son of Heaven, and people in the rivers and lakes often avoid it and do not use these two words together.

Zhong Yunlang scolded secretly in his heart: "I don't know what sect this is, it's too arrogant, if you open your mouth, you will be a real dragon, and if you close your mouth, you will be a phoenix." I walked to the window and looked out through the crack in the window, only to see a white-robed guest in the adjacent room gently pushing open the door and walking into the courtyard. There was a man standing in the courtyard, his face not very clear. The two whispered a few words, Zhong Yunlang couldn't hear it very clearly, and only faintly heard: "Don't be surprised...... Vedic ,...... Incident. So saying, the two of them went out over the wall, and their steps trembled, and they went southeast.

Zhong Yunlang is a famous catcher in Hejian Mansion, and he immediately became suspicious when he saw this. Although I don't know about this matter, I think that these two people are sneaky late at night, and they must be going to do something bad, and if they want to say that they can't do anything, they can't.

Zhong Yunlang stretched out his hand to wake Ying Wu up, and suddenly his mind changed: "I'm really stupid, this is in Qingchuan County, and it's not an inn, how can I allow gangsters to stay overnight? Thinking about it like this, my heart is at ease.

Just as he was about to sit down, he felt inappropriate in his heart: "What kind of incision does the official family make when doing things? Is there any secret errand to do, and gently push the door out, how can I use it to climb over the wall? Look at the way these two people climb over the wall, it is by no means an ordinary official errand!"

recalled the two of them again, "Don't be surprised...... Vedic ,...... Incident. Zhong Yunlang knocked on the corner of his forehead, and his heart became clear: "I am nicknamed 'Good Face Weituo', what these two people said must not have alarmed me, and there will be many incidents!"

At this time, recite the two incisions silently: "The real dragon lies in the water, and the phoenix plate on the wood." The real dragon lies in the water, and the phoenix plate on the wood. ...... in the water , Kigami...... "I thought through my heart: "Yes, it must be so." Three halls under the smoke gate, wind and fire, snow and wood, and rain. It must be that the two halls of Mu Shui knew that the wind and fire order was lost, and they came to find it together. Hmph, that's right, it was reasonable for the cult demon to use such arrogant code words. ”

Zhong Yunlang stretched out his hand to wake up Ying Wu, briefly explained the matter, and said: "Old Five, you are guarding here, if there is something wrong with the Qingchuan County Ya, you and the Qi Catcher here will also deal with it." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "The Qingluan Sword and Wind and Fire let me carry it with me, you don't have to worry about it." If there is something wrong with the county government, it is not difficult for you and Qi to protect yourself, just protect the safety of the county. "At the request of the fifth leader, he got up, straightened his clothes, and waited for the battle.

Zhong Yunlang tied the Qingluan sword to his back and jumped out of the courtyard wall. Listening to the argument before, it was known that the two were going to the southeast, so they immediately started their light work and quietly chased after them. That night, the sky was full of dark clouds, the stars and the moon were dark, and after chasing about a meal, in the dark night, I vaguely saw the two people walking along the path.

Zhong Yunlang said secretly: "I chased with all my strength for so long before I could keep up, these two people are really extraordinary." Then he looked at the direction in which the two people were hurrying, and had doubts in his heart: "These two people are obviously going to the riverside, but why are they not rushing to the direction of the ferry?"

At this time, we have reached the river, and there is no more way to go. The waves crashed against the rocks, accompanied by a roaring sound. The two people in front of them stood still on the shore, Zhong Yunlang also stopped, hid behind a tree on the riverbank, and said in his heart: "A few miles upstream here is the Qingchuan Ferry, and there is no ferry here, what are these two people going to do?"

Suddenly, the man in black whistled and dozens of torches lit up in the darkness. Although Zhong Yunlang was far away, he could also see that there were dozens of small boats on the river. There were two people standing at each boat, one holding a torch at the stern and the other bowing to the shore. The two on the shore did not return the salute, jumped and jumped onto the board. Dozens of small boats rowed together and crossed the river.

Zhong Yunlang secretly complained in his heart: "It's not good, it turns out that these two people have already ambushed the ship here, but how can I get there? With such a big formation, crossing the river, isn't it aimed at looking at the city." Is it for the sake of King Mu——! "Thinking about it, he became anxious. Although the Taoist masters in Wangchengguan are strong in martial arts, and there is Su Tianhuai and Su Zongzhu in charge, but at this time, the enemy is obviously prepared, but the people in Wangchengguan are unprepared, and they are afraid that if they make a slight mistake, they will miss the life of Mu Wangye.

At this time, I was afraid that it would be too late to rush to Qingchuan to take a boat, Zhong Yunlang's heart was crossed, he took off his official uniform, and jumped into the river. He has always cherished this official uniform, and at this time, he did not want it to be contaminated by the muddy river, so he raised the official uniform above his head with his left hand and only paddled it with his right hand.

Although Zhong Yunlang is quite knowledgeable about water, he is a northern man after all, and this is the first time in his life to cross the Yangtze River. Fortunately, the climate in the south is not cold in February, and Zhong Yunlang's internal strength is also quite foundational, and he can still withstand being soaked in the river water. Rao is like this, when he swam to the other side, Zhong Yunlang was already so cold that his teeth were shivering, and his hands and feet felt tired and weak.

But at this time, he was worried about the safety of Lord Mu, and he was going to look at the city before he could rest. Rushing forward, he didn't know that he had just taken a few steps, but he felt that his feet were floating, Zhong Yunlang stumbled and almost fell.

Zhong Yunlang secretly laughed at himself: "Zhong Zhutou, Zhong Zhutou, your years of hard work can be regarded as in vain." How can you not even resist this bit of cold?"

After another period of pranayama, the strength of his hands and feet regained slightly. Zhong Yunlang put on his coat and was about to get up and rush to Wangchengguan, when he suddenly heard a voice whispering and asking, "Who is it?" Zhong Yunlang was stunned, only to say that his whereabouts had been revealed. But with years of experience in walking the rivers and lakes, I knew that I must not respond at this time, so I immediately settled down, held my breath, and curled up.

I only heard a voice replying: "Yo, waiting for grandpa here?" Hmph, when the master came, he asked who he was. Don't talk nonsense, good grandchildren, if you want to grab something, do it. This reply was uttered with internal force, but it was very loud, and it shook the branches and leaves of the trees by the river.

Zhong Yunlang secretly said in his heart: "It's true that they are asking someone else." This person is full of 'grandfather' and 'grandson', and he is also vulgar. However, this abundant internal force is also really amazing. At this time, the shower had passed, and the dark clouds had dispersed a little, Zhong Yunlang was curious about what this person was, leaned down, and looked out at the weeds by the faint moonlight.

I saw that the person who spoke was a Taoist priest, in his forties, carrying an object and wrapped in an oilcloth, which he couldn't see clearly, but it should be a blade. This man stood with his right hand behind his back, holding a sword in his left hand, the tip of the sword was raised, and his expression was very arrogant. Zhong Yunlang said in his heart: "It's actually a Taoist, I don't know what he has to do with Wangchengguan?"

At this moment, a low whistle sounded, and torches lit up by the river. Zhong Yunlang was overjoyed when he heard the whistle: "It's them! It turns out that these people are not going for Mu Wangye." Looking up, the people who raised the fire were all dressed in black, and the people standing opposite the people were all in black pressure, and they were the people on the boat that crossed the river before.

Looking at it again, on the black-clothed side, the crowd gradually dispersed, and two people walked out. Zhong Yunlang took a look, the first one was the white-robed man who was chasing by Shicai, and Zhong Yunlang remembered this white-robe. Walking at night and wearing a white robe, this person is obviously quite conceited about his martial arts. The man in black standing next to him must be another, he didn't see this person's face clearly in Qingchuan County before, and at this sight, Zhong Yunlang suddenly felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

The man in black spoke first: "Niubi, I told you to escape several times before, it was your luck, and my brothers don't like to worry about you." Today, the 'Dementor General' arrived, and he said that he would not spare you, that would not be possible. Hand over your things quickly, for you are going to die anyway, so that you don't suffer any more sin after death. The man chuckled, looking very contemptuous.

Zhong Yunlang already understood something when he heard this: "This man in black must be the leader of this gang, and the man in white must be the helper they invited, what is it called 'General Dementor', why have you never heard of this person's name?"

glanced at the black and white again, and when he thought of the words of the man in black, he suddenly felt unspeakable disgust, and scolded in his heart: "Dog mongrel, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, and you don't care what you say." I asked for a helper to pay it back, and I said, 'I don't suffer some sin after death.'" No matter how shameless a person is, he can't go to such a state. This Taoist chief really thinks highly of himself, and there is disdain between his words and expressions, but he really has extraordinary skills, and I will see how he copes. ”

The man was still holding the sword in his left hand, his arm trembled slightly, he pulled a sword flower, and shouted, "Let's go together!" The sword body buzzed, and the tip of the sword was still picked upward, showing that he had no fear.

The white-robed man didn't say a word, picked up a stone, held it in his hand, and stretched out his fingers to pop it out. The sound of breaking the sky suddenly rose, and the stones flew far away and landed in the river, and the splash was as high as a person. The boats on the river swayed for a while, and finally a few capsized. Zhong Yunlang was secretly shocked: "This person has such profound skills. ”

The man's complexion changed slightly, but then he calmed down, and the sword body crossed over, and it was placed in the style of looking at the city and watching the swordsmanship, "pushing the boat along the river". The white-robed man stood with his hands in his hands and said, "Daochang Liu, I didn't want to hurt you, but I was entrusted by others and was loyal to people." Then give me something, and I will let you go, and I will never be embarrassed again. ”

The man looked up to the sky and smiled: "What a 'entrusted by people, loyal to people'." This thing is related to the luck of the world, how can it be light on the traitorous villain. I see that your martial arts are not weak, and you must also be a famous figure in the martial arts. But you ignore the safety of the people of my Great Song Dynasty, and are willing to be traitors and lackeys, and you have lost the big festival, and you dare to speak out here. If I can't kill you today, it is better to destroy it than to fall into the hands of traitors!"

Although Zhong Yunlang did not know much about the cause and effect of this matter, he saw that this great enemy was still unyielding and weak, and he had already secretly admired it. At this time, listening to his words, my heart fluctuated even more.

The white-robed man stroked his palms and praised: "Shaoyangzi Dao Changxia is famous, although I am far away in the southwest, I have already heard of it, and when I see it today, what the Central Plains martial arts say is true." But I have one thing to say and know to the Taoist chief, I am not a Song person, how can I ignore the safety of the people of the Great Song Dynasty?"

When Zhong Yunlang heard the word "Shaoyangzi", his heart was shocked: "It turns out that he is Shaoyangzi." "Shaoyangzi's name is Liu Zhongyuan, is the disciple of the former martial arts alliance leader Liu Haichan, uninhibited by nature, good at swimming in mountains and rivers, footprints all over the north and south of the river, all the deeds are to help the poor and punish the evil and eliminate the evil, more than ten years ago has been famous. In recent years, I haven't heard much about him in the rivers and lakes. Zhong Yunlang said secretly: "I didn't expect to meet him here." ”

Since ancient times, heroes have cherished each other, Zhong Yunlang's blood surged, and he had made up his mind in his heart: "If I disturb the duel between the two of them, the Taoist chief will definitely not want to." I'm here to protect you, and if these people come up with a crowd, I'll take care of them!"

The white shadow flashed, and the steel thorn in the white-robed guest's right hand stabbed out, pointing at the Taoist's left shoulder. The steel spike in his left hand followed and struck, but it was stabbed at the right neck of the Taoist. The Taoist swung his sword and shook it twice, and the long sword and a pair of steel thorns struck each other, dissolving the strength of the two thorns. The sword body buzzed, and the sound of tremors continued, but seeing the sword light, in a moment, the two of them had already dismantled seven or eight moves.

Zhong Yunlang had a pair of tiger eyes, but he only stared at the people in black, and he was about to pounce immediately if there was a slight movement.

The steel thorn in the white-robed guest's right hand swung horizontally, turning the thorn into a cut, and attacked the Taoist's chest. The Taoist dodged to the right, drew the sword in his left hand and struck back, but his right hand used his grappling skills. This hand grabbing made it so fast, and the white-robed guest didn't have time to dodge, and was already put on his left shoulder with the right hand of the Taoist.

Seeing this, the black-clothed people discussed one after another, looking forward to each other, and they were about to make a move. Zhong Yunlang had already stood up and hid behind a tree. At this time, seeing that the people in black were about to move, they took two steps forward.

The Taoist's right hand put on the left shoulder of the white-robed guest, and he just wanted to make internal strength, but the white-robed guest's left shoulder sank and had slipped out of the Taoist's hands. Seeing that the two of them were getting tighter and tighter, they had already dismantled more than 80 moves, and they did not distinguish between victory and defeat.

The man in black who led the way couldn't stand still, and ordered everyone under him: "This time, we are leading the order to win the treasure, not a martial arts competition, so we don't have to pay attention to the rules of the rivers and lakes, everyone will go together!"

The black-clothed crowd shouted in unison: "Yes!" and rushed up to besiege Shaoyangzi.

Zhong Yunlang had already rushed out when the man in black gave the order, but he rushed ahead of everyone in black. At this time, when he saw them rushing up, he rushed towards them, put his hands out together, and grabbed the first two. With the force of both arms, he threw the two of them out.

Suddenly, seeing a person rushing out of the forest, everyone in black was shocked. I was even more surprised to see Zhong Yunlang's amazing arm strength. The black-clothed man in the lead shouted, and everyone rushed towards Zhong Yunlang. Zhong Yunlang stepped on his feet, fists and palms with both hands, and knocked down the few people who rushed first.

It turned out that among the people by the river tonight, only the white-robed guest was strong in martial arts. Although the number of people in black is numerous, the martial arts are mediocre. Zhong Yunlang thought in his heart: "When I knock down these men in black, Daochang Liu and I will be sure to win." At the moment, the two-handed moves were intensified, hoping to quickly repel the black-clothed people.

Liu Daochang and the white-robed guest have already made more than 100 moves. I saw that the moves in Liu Daochang's hands were getting slower, but the pair of steel thorns in the white-robed guest were getting faster and faster. Liu Daochang slapped out a palm with his right hand, and the white-robed guest avoided it sideways, turned the steel thorn in his hand, shook it for a while, and shouted: "Go!"

Liu Daochang's left leg had already been stabbed, and he stumbled under his feet, and he hurriedly used his long sword to prop himself up on the ground and stabilize his body. The white-robed guest immediately had the upper hand, and there would be no half concession, wielding steel thorns and pressing tightly.

Liu Daochang raised his sword to separate him, but his feet were unstable, and he almost let the steel thorn slash his right arm. The white-robed guest steel thorn wrapped around Liu Daochang's back, Huo Huo struck twice, unloaded the package on his back, kicked out with his left foot, and kicked the package away a few steps.

Liu Daochang saw that the package was snatched, and shouted: "Evil dog! Come back!" Just as he was struggling left and right, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, but it was the white-robed guest who took advantage of his busy parry, and a 'mosquito needle' in his sleeve robe flew out and hit his shoulder point. Liu Daochang's left arm was sore, and the long sword was taken off, but he couldn't stand under his feet, and his body couldn't keep shaking.

Seeing this, the white-robed guest waved his steel thorn and went up again, wanting to make up for a few more thorns on his body to avoid future troubles.

This change came suddenly, Zhong Yunlang was anxious and angry, and hurriedly waved his palm to push away several people around him, but it was too late to save him.

I could only hear three swishing sounds, and three hidden weapons came from the river. The first one hit the steel thorn in the left hand of the white-robed guest: The second one hit the steel thorn in the right hand of the white-robed guest: The third one ran to the door of the white-robed guest! Zhong Yunlang was overjoyed: "Save!"

Unexpectedly, with a slight wave of the white robe's sleeve robe, he brushed away the hidden weapon in front of him. But there was only such a fork, Zhong Yunlang had already rushed to Liu Daochang's side.

Seeing this, the white-robed guest stabbed at Zhong Yunlang with his right hand. Zhong Yunlang was unstoppable with his bare hands. In a hurry, he waved his hand to his back and pulled out the Qingluan sword behind his back. Raising the sword, without hearing the sound, the steel thorn in the right hand of the white-robed guest has been broken into two. The steel spike in the left hand came again, and it was cut in two.

"Sharpen iron like clay!" everyone exclaimed in their hearts.

When the white-robed guest saw that the weapon was destroyed, he was furious in his heart, and waved his palm to shoot down Zhong Yunlang's top door. "Quickly go up and strike him on the left shoulder! Liu Daochang saw that Zhong Yunlang was in danger, and hurriedly gave guidance.

Zhong Yunlang slapped back his left hand and shouted, "I won't use a sword!" Liu Daochang exclaimed: "How can I not use a sword!"

Seeing the two of them fist each other, they made seven or eight moves. Zhong Yunlang suddenly felt that his feet were floating and weak, and his heart was cold: "What's going on!" After a few more moves, Zhong Yunlang gradually felt invincible. And the black-clothed people also gathered around.

With a "whoosh", another hidden weapon hit the river. The direction is still towards the white-robed guest door. The white-robed guest waved his sleeves, but he didn't know that the hidden weapon cut his sleeves, and the momentum was not reduced. The white-robed guest only said that this flick would definitely be able to remove the hidden weapon, but he didn't know that one of them was big, and he was in a hurry.

I could only hear the man on the river shouting: "The surname Zhong, if you don't leave, I can't beat him!" As he spoke, a few leaps rushed to the front and pushed away the black-clothed people.

Zhong Yunlang picked up Liu Daochang and ran out. Liu Daochang didn't want to go, but just urged Zhong Yunlang to snatch the package that fell out. Zhong Yunlang saw that the situation was critical and it was important to save people, so he ignored it, slashed at the back of Liu Daochang's neck with a palm, knocked him unconscious, and rushed out with his back on his back.

"Surnamed Zhong, do you see my boat on the river?

Zhong Yunlang was stunned: "Wouldn't such a collision be a ship wreck?" But the situation was so critical that he didn't have time to think about it, looked at the direction, and threw Liu Daochang out. One of the people on the boat reached out to catch it, and his body jerked back, obviously unable to withstand the force. The hull of the ship also shook violently. Zhong Yunlang was overjoyed: "It turns out that someone answered." "Suddenly my feet go limp, and I will fall.

"The surname is Zhong!" The man hurriedly grabbed and helped him up, ran to the riverside with Zhong Yunlang in his arms, and jumped onto the boat.

The black-clothed crowd was about to catch up, but the white-robed guest stopped talking: "Don't chase!" Holding the hidden weapon in his hand, he gritted his teeth and said: "Iron-lotus-son, Yanxiamen has also been mixed in, I'm afraid that there will be strong reinforcements in front." Well, since the things are in hand, let him go!"

The black-clothed leader didn't say anything more, picked up the package and patted the dust, his face full of joy.
