It is not an accidental thing for everyone to be defeated from the beginning, there will always be various reasons, even if there are thousands of reasons, it is nothing more than the accumulation of good and the accumulation of evil. Thinking that Yang Yuhuan "is born beautiful and difficult to give up, once chosen on the king's side", since then the king is no longer in the early dynasty, the three thousand favors added to one, the jade building banquet drunk, the family soil, the light lintel, the end is "a person to get the way, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven", but because of this, the city is full of smoke and dust, causing the king to run to the southwest, and the army does not send, are angry to kill it, poor moth eyebrows die in front of the horse, Qing and the king, Huangquan Biluo, at a loss, this is not the fruit of evil? Then Mrs. Xiangxiang, the woman of the Yi family in the southwest tribe, she can accumulate the great goodness of the world, aid the Ming army, destroy the King of Liang, build roads, set up the "Dragon Field Nine Posts", and do her best to assist her husband and son, and govern millions of people, and she is happy to be praised by Emperor Ming: "Luxury Xiang is attached, and she wins 100,000 male soldiers", and she is named "Mrs. Shunde", which is not the reason for accumulating goodness? In addition, the seven people in front of them, three people from northern Shaanxi dug people's graves for wealth all their lives, and finally reaped the fruits of their own deaths, and ended up digging their own graves, killing two people, although the two sisters of Mengxuan did not accumulate great goodness, but they also did not do anything that hurt the heavens and reason, Shen Mu often helped people in Guizhou, and became more and more famous in Guizhou, and his sworn brother Li Xiangdong, Zhang Renwei and called "Yelang Sanjie" , Just digging people's graves in the past was forced to make a living, although his actions were hateful, but it was also excusable, maybe he never thought about it, because he stretched out his hand to save Zhai Qi, from now on he will set foot in the rivers and lakes, and become famous, the fruit of these seven people, is not the cause of accumulating good or evil?

Zhai Qi said goodbye to Shen Mu, alone, his dream came true, and he went north with great grief, and the four of them also went to Guiyang to continue their journey.

He just took out the broken book he picked out from the water and showed it to the four of them, the cover had the words "Qimen Stick", and there were some patterns on the yellowed paper leaves, presumably the relics of the person who died tragically at the trap steel knife. Just dried the book in the low sun, Meng Xuan saw that he had found the book, so he said, "Uncle Shan, you don't need this trip." ”

Shan smiled and said, "Miss Mengxuan, why don't you practice together?"

Meng Xuan said: "Haha...... Come on, uncle, I can't use such a heavy stick. ”

simply joked: "This is also true." Why don't you ask Brother Shen to teach you the family heirlooms? ”

Meng Xuan said: "It's said that it's a family heirloom, how can Brother Shen teach me." "Does the little woman know that this is a mere lie?

Shan Dan said: "That's right, the family heirloom is not passed on to outsiders, so you don't want to practice the family heirloom of Brother Shen?"

Meng Xuan immediately understood the meaning of his words, and if he didn't pass on the outsiders, it would not be natural to pass on the insiders, so he blushed and said: "They all said that uncle, you are honest, I know how to bully our juniors." ”

Honesty may vary from person to person, some people don't tell lies, they will only guide you to tell the truth.

Just looking at Meng Xuan's blushing face, he laughed and said, "Haha...... I don't know if I'm honest or not, but I'm lying to some people's hearts anyway. Mengyuan looked at them talking non-stop, and said with a smile: "Uncle, with our current footsteps, can we walk into Guiyang City before dark?"

Guiyang City is not grand, but it is definitely a different kind of city, with camphor and green bamboo.

Night market, singing and string dance, pavilions and pavilions, the lights on both sides of the Nanming River are brilliant.

In the past, there was an endless stream of merchants, and the elderly people sat on the bluestone benches and talked and laughed.

In every city, there are different people who survive in it, and in order to survive, they may do some industries that others spurn, and what everyone does has its reasons for doing it, the joy of its harvest, and its unknown pain. Guiyang is also indispensable to such a place, Shen Mu, Mengyuan Mengxuan, just four people walked across the Nanming River, and saw a few graceful women standing downstairs in "Ziluoxuan", those women did not send Qiu Bo to Shen Mu and Shan secretly, but squeezed their eyebrows at Mengyuan Mengxuan, were they jealous of the other party's beauty? The two women shuddered, trembling all over.

Walking and walking, they came to a very lively place, there are a lot of people, the shouting is shocking, it is obviously a gambling house, "financial space" is the name of the gambling house, the name is very strange, there are two strong men standing in front of the door, it seems that they are here to protect the gamblers' net worth.

Girls prefer lively places, and even if they are disgusted with gambling halls, they will tilt their heads and look at them. Meng Xuan tilted his head in front of the door of the "Wealth Room" and looked, and when the two big men saw that they were both armed with weapons, they asked Meng Xuan, "Do you want to go in?" Meng Xuan replied: "Don't go." Dahan wanted them to leave quickly, so he shouted: "What are you looking at if you don't go?" Meng Xuan was yelled at inexplicably, and said angrily: "Are you sick?"

Arguing with the woman that there is room for the man to refute.

The big man argued, he raised his hand to fight Meng Xuan, Meng Xuan didn't avoid it, he used his right hand to block, he never thought that the man was a practitioner, he was powerful, and he hit Meng Xuan's hand, Meng Xuan felt a burst of pain, Shen Mu wanted to step forward to stop it, but it was too late, the two of them faced each other in an instant, and after three or four rounds, the big man was defeated by Meng Xuan, defeated, and fell to the ground, embarrassed.

Someone had an argument outside, and a subordinate had already reported to the owner of the hall, and the owner came out and said, "Is that the person on the road?

Mengxuan looked at a fat man, his face was a little cute, there was a feeling of dΓ©jΓ  vu, she thought for a long time, but couldn't think of who it was, she was reminiscing, Mengyuan shouted: "Tu Fat?" Tu Fatzi Zou Mei looked at it, and said half-dry: "Mengyuan Mengxuan? Meng Xuan saw that it was opened by the old man, so he took the initiative to apologize. After the two sides apologized respectively, they were all right, and the fat man said: "He is not as good as you, he is not as good as others, he deserves it, even women are beaten, he is really not a man, and he will be dismissed when he turns around." ”

The defeated man looked aggrieved, so he had to admit it obediently.

Tu Fatzi is a hospitable person, but also a good drinker, "I haven't eaten, let's go, I'm the east, don't refuse me, I'd rather others waste and not eat than others reject me, then I will think I'm shameless." "Shen Mu, Mengyuan Mengxuan, just the four of them heard him say this, if they refused, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him?

At present, I look more at the shepherd, and I don't feel that the fish comes to dream.

Tu Fatzi took the four people to a restaurant called "Shepherd's House", Xiao Er smiled and came forward to greet, Tu Fatzi asked him to take the menu, let the four order, they ordered a total of Kung Pao chicken, fried bacon with folded ear root, secret mutton, mapo tofu, sour soup fish, dried flat artichoke shreds, yam stewed wolfberry six dishes and one soup, as well as a jar of Jinsha sand wine and a pot of even-tongued tea, the dish was finished, and then ate with relish, the five people just ate a few bites, and someone patted the table and shouted in official language: "Shopkeeper, is this what people eat?" "The voice is a Yanjing accent.

The shopkeeper walked over timidly, lifted the chopsticks to try the taste of the dish, and didn't feel that something was wrong, and said, "Guest, I'm sorry, our sour soup fish tastes like this." ”

The man said: "This dish is so spicy and sour, is this what people eat?"

Tu Fatzi's gambling hall often has business travelers from all over the world to gamble, he has a little understanding of the tastes of various places, listening to the accent is a person from the capital, he knows that he does not eat sour and spicy, so he said: "This brother, the so-called into his hometown, follow his customs, the motherland is broad, the southeast and northwest have their own love, the mouth is difficult to adjust, we Guizhou is located in the border, the taste is very different from the Beijing Division, if the brother is not used to eating, just drink two drinks together, what do you think?" The man heard that Tu Fat Man recognized where he came from, and was slightly displeased, and the three men in beautiful clothes with him changed their accents and refused to Tu Fat, and hurriedly called their companions to sit down, not pursuing the shop, and the four men in beautiful clothes hurriedly finished eating, and then checked out and walked out of the "shepherd's house".

"You're really careless, we were ordered to come to Guizhou secretly to do business, and we must not let people know our origin unless necessary. ”

"Hmm!"

"I heard that Ma Sanbao [1] went to the South Seas six times, but he never found any trace of that person. ”

"That's why the top turned to the southwest, let us secretly come to the ancient Yelang country to search. ”

"I wonder if I can find it?"

"Who knows? ”

"What do you think about this, that person disappeared in the fire for more than 20 years, and he has been looking for more than 20 years, why is he still looking for it?"

"The sky is unpredictable, who knows?" said the four men, and then disappeared at the end of the market.

Tu Fatzi, Shen Mu, Shan Dan, Dream Fulfillment Mengxuan The five of them finished eating at the right time.

The summer wind is sullen, and the camphor trees are fluttering.

Meng Xuan complained: "Why is this weather so hot? ”

Dream Yuan said: "Bear with it!"

Meng Xuan comforted himself: "If only I could soak in the water." ”

Tu Fatzi listened to her two sisters talking about the weather, so she said, "Why don't I take you to a good place, and make sure that you are comfortable." ”

Just thought that he would use money again, and said: "It's embarrassing to let Brother Tu break the bill again." ”

Tu Fat said: "Don't break the bank, go to my own territory." Shen Mu saw a few shadows passing by in the night, so he didn't talk to them.

The five of them walked north, and after a short time, they arrived at their destination, only to see the steaming heat, which turned out to be a pool of hot springs.

"I discovered this geothermal air by accident, so I used him to bathe and gave him the name 'Guiyu Hot Springs'. The two of you go over there, and the three of us go over here. So saying, he divided the plainclothes among the four men.

"Brother Tu, can you notice anything wrong with the four people you met at the shepherd's house today?"

"Judging by their faces and accents, it is not surprising that they are from the capital, but it is a bit strange that they seem reluctant to let us recognize their origins. ”

"Hmm!" Shen Mu thought for a moment.

"Brother Shen, the two girls of Mengxuan are good, you have to take advantage of it?"

Shen Mu replied and said, "My appetite is so big, one is enough." He did not reject the fat man's words, but admitted to choosing one or the other.

"Then do you choose Mengyuan or Mengxuan?" Shen Mu didn't answer, just smiled.

"Take advantage of it, you must not be indecisive, difficult to choose, swaying from side to side, and in the end it may be empty. The fat man seemed to be talking about himself.

"Brother Tu has also encountered something difficult to choose?"

"In adulthood, it's useless to mention too much, so don't talk about it. As he spoke, his eyes seemed to see through the sky and into the distance, but there was nothing in his eyes.

Shen Mu didn't ask much, just stared blankly at the bubbles coming out of the hot spring.

Just seriously rub the dirt on your body.

They soaked in a hot spring, and really felt much refreshed, and it was night, and they went to sleep separately.

It was extremely hot and cold, and in the early morning of the second day, the weather turned cooler, and the breeze hit, but it was not cold, just the skin temperature. Shen Mu, dreaming of Mengxuan, the four of them alone are not good at disturbing the fat man, so he said goodbye to the fat man, thanked him for his hospitality, and said goodbye to the Fanjing Mountain Martial Arts Conference on the Chongyang Day.

Shen Mu, alone, Mengxuan wanted to go to Qianling Mountain to see the panorama of Guiyang City, but because the case of the murder of Long Bayan, the lord of Yelang Valley, had not yet been resolved, he was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so he did not go.

In the afternoon, the four of them basically finished the entire Guiyang City, and wanted to go back to Tianlong Tunbao, when they left Guiyang City, they met five people, Shen Mu and Mengyuan knew each other, it was they on the way to Xianglu Mountain that they met, Hu Liangyan and his subordinates who fought with Xiao Yuxiang because of a bowl of noodles. Shen Mu stepped forward to greet him, but Hu Liangyan looked busy, said goodbye with a few polite greetings, and asked when leaving: "Have you ever seen this woman with a whip?"

Hu Liangyan hurriedly said, "Do you know her?"

Mengyuan said: "I know, but he is a man, he just looks like a woman." ”

Hu Liangyan hurriedly asked, "Where is he now?"

Mengyuan said: "I had a battle with him in the chicken hole two months ago, and now I don't know where he is?"

Although Hu Liangyan didn't get the result that the enemy was there, she still thanked and left, and the four of them also embarked on the way back.

The dog summer is terrifying, the dream comes true Mengxuan, the three of them all said that the weather was vicious along the way, but Shen Mu was silent, his brows were tightly locked, Mengxuan saw this, he wanted to ask it, but he shouldn't call it, as if they didn't exist, he often heard about the evil art of the rivers and lakes, especially the Gu art of Xijiang Miao Min, it was evil and evil, he thought that Shen Mu had fallen into the evil art, so he hurriedly shouted at Shen Mu, but Shen Mu suddenly laughed, laughed wildly, it was a laugh of epiphany, it was a laugh of harvest, "Haha...... I finally got it. "Scare me a few steps back.

Mengxuan felt inexplicable just by laughing at him, Mengxuan asked, "Brother Shen, what do you understand?"

Shen Mu said happily: "The last two parts of the "Ruoshui Sword Technique", I always can't practice, I see. It turned out that Shen Mu was in the Guiyu Hot Spring and watched the bubbles coming out of the water, so he thought a little about his Ruoshui swordsmanship and realized that he was in a maze.

Only then did the three of them know that Shen Mu was fascinated by martial arts just now, and they were all happy when they heard him say that he had an epiphany about martial arts.

Everyone who has reached the state of stupidity about what he likes is a madman, and no one else can understand it except himself.

"Why is it so hot today?" he wiped the sweat from his body.

"Wow, Uncle Shan said it's hot, so let's find a place to rest and rest," Shen Mu said casually.

Mengxuan was full of joy when he heard Shen Mu say this, "There is a fruit drink seller in front, let's go there to rest," Mengxuan said.

"Four, let's drink some papaya jelly [2]?" The aunt, who was setting up a roadside stall selling fruit drinks, saw the four of them coming and greeted them enthusiastically.

"Well, Auntie, I want a big bowl," Meng Xuan said greedily.

"Okay, wait a minute!"

The four of them were so thirsty that they each drank two large bowls of papaya jelly.

"Why is it so hot where the bird doesn't poop? "Under the scorching sun, some people complain about the weather.

Shen Mu should be prestigious, they are four men in beautiful clothes, all with swords hanging from their waists.

"Four, let's drink some papaya jelly?" the aunt who sold fruit drinks seemed to greet every guest with the same sentence.

"What is it?" asked one of the men in beautiful clothes.

"Whatever it is, let's have two bowls first," another man in a beautiful suit took the bowl from his aunt's hand and drank it all, and said, "It's delicious, it's good, another bowl!" The aunt who sells papaya jelly happily comes back with papaya. The four of them drank a total of nine bowls of fruit drinks, and they were also very generous, and they didn't give change to the aunt, so they said "don't look for it", and walked away, and the aunt was so happy that she exhaled "go slowly".

Mengyuan said: "Aren't these the four people we met in Guiyang City last night?"

Shen Mu nodded and said, "Yes......!

"Auntie, it's hot and deadly, quickly bring me a big bowl of papaya jelly. Another passer-by came, and when Shen Mu saw that person, he didn't continue to talk to Mengyuan, but jumped up happily, because the person who appeared was his sworn brother Li Xiangdong. When brothers and old friends saw each other, they all burst into tears and greeted each other.

When Li Xiangdong saw Mengyuan Mengxuan, he had questions and asked why he hadn't returned to Mount Emei for a long time? The second daughter told the reason, and the second daughter also asked, "Brother Li, why are you here?"

Li Xiangdong knew that Shen Mu and Mengxuan were the people, so he bluntly said: "Long Bayan, the owner of Yelang Valley, was killed, I came to mourn, and then I and his son tracked down the murderer for a long time, but there was no progress at all, and I only returned to Baicaoping from Yelang Valley today, and I never thought of meeting you here." ”

Shen Mu hurriedly said, "Do you have eyebrows?"

"There are no clues at all, the master of the old valley of Longlao can die a really unjust, he is nearly seventy years old, and there is no corpse of the dead," Li Xiangdong said, "Just because of the case of the lord of the old valley of Long, Muzi Qingmei issued a martial arts post yesterday, and the day of the martial arts conference was advanced, and it will be held during the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Shen Mu said: "That's fine, with the power of martial arts, you can also find out the real culprit as soon as possible." ”

Li Xiangdong said: "Hmm!"

Shen Mu introduced Li Xiangdong and Shan to each other, and the two gave each other a greeting gift.

Shen Mu, Li Xiangdong, Mengyuan Mengxuan, just five people chatted and walked, and before they knew it, the sky was dark, although there was no sun, but the heat wave of the air was still there. Shen Mu saw that he couldn't get to Tianlong Tunbao today, so he said that he could find a place to live and wait for tomorrow to do it again, and everyone followed.

Late at night, sleepless dreams.

Yes...... Well...... Mengyuan hugged her body tightly, the tongue in her mouth was rolling back and forth, feeling the fiery passion of the other party, when they were about to go deep into each other's forbidden area, she suddenly woke up, only to find that she was dreaming, her hands pressed her protrusion, she secretly scolded herself for having such a dream? She woke up and didn't fall asleep again, she was reminiscing, recalling that last winter in the night of Baicao Ranch, those big hands pressed on her protrusion, that night she also couldn't sleep all night, she hugged her body tighter.

The sky is bright, and the love is dark.

"Second brother, if you are not in a hurry, you can go to Tianlong Tunbao with me to play? ”

"Yes, I should pay my respects to my uncle, too. When Mengyuan heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and secretly glanced at Li Xiangdong a few times.

The five of them went to Tianlong Tunbao, and arrived at Shen Mu's house at about noon, Shen Mu returned to see his father, and as soon as he arrived outside the door, he heard someone talking to Shen Ji.

"I don't know how many unwelcome the arrival of the four angels are, and I hope to forgive me. ”

"Elder Shen doesn't have to be polite, we were ordered to travel secretly this time, so we didn't let the Guizhou Political Envoy and you Tianlong Tunbao know. ”

"This is the fault of our Tianlong Tunbao. ”

"There, there, the Shen family is at the edge of Yongzhen, how can there be a fault if they have made such a great contribution to the imperial court?"

"I don't know what the four angels came to Guizhou this time?"

"I said it bluntly in front of Shen Lao, presumably Shen Lao also heard that the emperor had sent Zheng He to the South and West Seas six times [3]?"

"The emperor has been heard of all over the world. ”

Since the emperor disappeared in the fire in Nanjing, he had nightmares and dreams of asking for his life, and then the emperor moved the capital to Yanjing, and it took 14 years to build the Forbidden City [4] just in case. For more than 20 years, the emperor was sleepless and suffering, so he made up his mind to find the first emperor. The emperor sent Zheng He to the ocean many times but did not find it, because the emperor asked us to secretly search in the southwest, I wonder if Shen Lao has heard of the whereabouts of the first emperor in the southwest?"

"The old man has lived in Tianlong Tunbao for a long time and has never heard of it. ”

"If there is any news, I hope Elder Shen will inform us. They knew that the chances were slim, but they still commanded Shen Ji.

"If the angel needs something, he will do his best to help him. ”

"Well, this time we went to Tianlong Tun Fort only your elder knows, and the other three elders don't know, so Shen Lao doesn't need to let them know. ”

"Yes. ”

"Then let's continue to search westward and take our leave!"

"If the four angels had eaten their meal, they would not have gone any further. ”

"No need. The four men in beautiful clothes then quit Shen Ji and left Tianlong Tunbao and headed for Yunnan, but Shen Mu avoided it and did not meet them.

"Daddy!"

"Mu'er is back?"

"Hmm!"

"Who is this?"

"This is the sworn brother to the east that I often mentioned to my father. Li Xiangdong saluted Shen Ji as a junior, calling him "uncle", Shen Ji saw that Li Xiangdong knew a lot about etiquette, so he said: "Oh, treat people well, don't be lazy." ”

"Yes, Dad!" Shen Mu said, "Who were those just now?"

"The angel is coming," Shen Ji didn't say much about this, and said, "Yesterday, Fanjing Mountain sent a post from the alliance leader, saying that the martial arts conference will be held on August 15 in advance, and you should be ready to choose a person to participate on behalf of Tianlong Tunbao on another day." Shen Mu led, then took Li Xiangdong to say goodbye to Shen Ji out, that day Shen Mu took Li Xiangdong to Yunhu Mountain to watch the evening scene of Tianlong Tunbao, the two of them used wooden branches on the mountain to learn martial arts from each other, Shen Mu according to his own understanding yesterday, the essence of "Ruoshui Swordsmanship" was all used, it was really exquisite, Li Xiangdong also used up what he had learned in his life, and both of them called each other good martial arts. Shen and Li were about to step down the mountain, but unfortunately they met Mengyuan going up the mountain, and Mengyuan greeted Li Xiangdong with a smile.
