Chapter 5 The Road Shopkeeper

This man who dared to threaten to wash the Xinglong Inn in blood in front of a group of heroes has a very big tone, and his reputation is naturally not small. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Iron Sword Villa Chu Zhengqing, an iron sword swept through northern Fujian and eastern Zhejiang. Although there are not many people in the Iron Sword Mountain Villa, the reputation is not well-known, but the sword kung fu of the owner of the village is well-known in the rivers and lakes.

Zhong Yunlang was really surprised when he heard this person claiming to be the owner of the Iron Sword Villa, and turned to Liang Sheng and asked: "Fourth, how is the divine sword kung fu of this owner of the Iron Sword Villa compared to your Shaolin Seven Absolute Swords?" Liang Shang silently calculated in his heart, and after careful comparison, Fang said: "The Seven Absolute Swords are better in swordsmanship and sword intent, but the owner of the Zhuang has amazing divine power. Count, we should be between the two of us. ”

As in normal times, Liang Sheng must have said with a grin: "Hehe, half a catty and eight taels, half a catty and eight taels." But at this time, when it comes to major events, Liang Shang can always speak and act calmly and steadily.

Zhong Yunlang heard Liang Sheng say this, and secretly screamed in his heart: "This master of the storage village can be in the middle of the seven peerless swords of the fourth child, and the blood-washed Xinglong Inn is probably not a lie." Don't let him do this big case!" At this time, it must be too late to turn around in the tunnel.

Zhong Yunlang hurriedly asked Liang Shang, "Fourth, is there an exit from this wine cellar?" Liang Sheng found that this underground wine cellar had only been around for a short time, and he didn't know what kind of passage there was here. But I think this is the wine cellar of Xinglong Inn, and there must be a passage that leads directly to the inn. I had to say: "I don't know yet, I'll find out if there is a mechanism here." ”

Zhong Yunlang shook his head and said, "It's too late." Before the words fell, the sound of killing on the ground was loud, Zhong Yunlang was worried about the dozens of lives in this Xinglong Inn, and he really wanted to be able to break through the ground immediately.

"The owner of the storage village is not small, I am afraid that you will not be able to wash the Xinglong Inn in blood. But I will wash your Iron Sword Villa with blood. Every word seemed to be smashed to the ground from the air, Zhong Yunlang felt dizzy even though he was in the cellar, and the impact on the people on the ground could be imagined.

Liang Shang's breath was stagnant, and he whispered in a hoarse voice: "Master Zhong, this is the ...... That 'female ghost'. ”

The word 'Zhuang' at the end of the sentence kept hovering in the air for a long time. Zhong Yunlang only felt that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he was busy breathing a few breaths of true qi, secretly fighting against the internal force contained in the voice of this 'female ghost', and then gradually regained his calm.

Liu Daochang was lying on the stone bed but coughed violently, Zhong Yunlang said in his heart: "It's not good! Liu Daochang is injured, how can he withstand such an impact." Hurriedly stretched out his hand on the door of Liu Daochang's veins, latent his true qi, and sent his skills into Liu Daochang's "Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian" veins, wanting to follow his meridians with his skills and help him protect his body.

But in this way, Zhong Yunlang's skills are scattered, and it is difficult to resist the unstoppable internal force of this 'female ghost'. This clock Yunlang is difficult to protect himself, and a heart beats fast in the chest. But when he saw that Liu Daochang's face was pale, he still continued to disperse his skills to protect Liu Daochang. At first, it was divided into five successes, and then gradually distributed seventy percent to Liu Daochang, and in the end it was ninety percent. Zhong Yunlang himself only has a successful force to support him.

Fortunately, the skill of the 'female ghost' was soon withdrawn, Zhong Yunlang was covered in a cold sweat, his lips were cyanotic, and there was no trace of blood on his face. Liang Sheng gasped heavily, his eyes were full of stars, his expression was in a trance, and he fainted to the ground.

There was no sound on the ground, and Zhong Yunlang said in his heart: "I don't know what a miserable situation is in the inn now." ”

Zhong Yunlang was tired all night, he was already sleepy, and he was even more exhausted at this time. He felt that his eyes were unusually dry and his eyelids were heavy, and he could no longer support them, so he fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

The rivers and lakes are sinister, and the turmoil is endless, but if you open your eyes, it is endless grievances and grievances. Therefore, it is still the hour of sleep, and it will be more leisurely.

Zhong Yunlang woke up, it was already noon. Liang Sheng and Liu Daochang were asleep and still hadn't woken up. Liu Daochang's lips couldn't help opening and closing, Zhong Yunlang poured a bowl of water and fed him to drink.

Seeing that Liang Shang's face was not good, Zhong Yunlang helped him sit up and pushed the palace through the acupoint for him, and Liang Sheng gradually woke up.

"Master Zhong, now...... What time is it?"

Zhong Yunlang looked at the pores of the wine cellar, frowned slightly, and said: "It's about the time of Shen, and the Qingchuan County Ya should be investigating the matter of Xinglong Inn, I don't know what kind of tragedy it is up there now." ”

Liang Sheng opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "Shen Shi, we have slept for so long." ”

Zhong Yunlang was anxious about the situation above, and instructed Liang Shang: "Fourth, you take care of Daochang Liu here, and I will go up there to investigate." ”

Liang Shang promised, and said, "Master Zhong must be careful." ”

Zhong Yunlang nodded, straightened out his official uniform, and strode out of the tunnel.

Coming out of the tunnel, the sunlight was a little dazzling. Zhong Yunlang ran to the door of Xinglong Inn, the same faΓ§ade, the same small table, the same ferry, the same grass, trees, bamboo and stones, and the same sunshine.

Some of the visitors carried swords, some held knives, some dressed as scholars, and some looked like wealthy merchants, all sitting at the small tables at the door of the inn, drinking wine and tea, and chatting.

The ferries come and go, and the passenger boats are noisy and laughing. On cargo ships, laborers move up and down, endlessly.

The sun shines on the surface of the river, shining golden, like the golden scales of a giant python. Shining on Zhong Zhutou's body, it is warm and comfortable.

All this is no different from the usual.

Zhong Yunlang suddenly felt like he was in a dream. Could it be that everything I heard last night was all fake? Zhong Yunlang touched his heart and shook his head secretly: "I still remember the feeling of my heart beating deeply, and all this plan will not be just illusory. ”

Zhong Yunlang strode into the inn, only to see Lu Bo greeting the guests with a few young men, but his steps were slightly heavy.

Zhong Yunlang called: "Lu Bo." ”

Seeing that it was Zhong Yunlang, the shopkeeper hurriedly rushed to the front and greeted: "Zhong Ye is here, can you finish your errand?"

Zhong Yunlang responded, and did not say anything else, and said straight to the point: "Lu Bo, the people from Iron Sword Villa came here last night, but what happened?"

The shopkeeper looked surprised and hesitated. But he has been in contact with people in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and most of his temperament is heroic and straightforward. But whenever others have something to ask, the shopkeeper is always straightforward, saying is to say, not to say is not to say, never to hide and spit out. At this time, seeing Zhong Yunlang ask about last night's incident, he didn't want to hide it, but this matter was extraordinary, and he had to be cautious.

The shopkeeper thought for a moment, and whispered to Zhong Yunlang: "There are many people here, and there are many inconveniences, Zhong Ye, please come with me." ”

Zhong Yunlang saw that the shopkeeper was so cautious, and knew that the matter was not small, and the shopkeeper must know the major key points during the period, and was busy following the shopkeeper behind him. The shopkeeper led Zhong Yunlang, and the two walked to the side room of the store together.

Zhong Yunlang took a look at the furnishings of this side room, a small bed, an old thin quilt, and sparse furniture, extremely simple. There is a desk next to the window, but it is full of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Looking around the four walls, hanging is "Cangsong", "Cuibai", "Qishan", "Xiushui" four pairs of ink scrolls, the penmanship is vigorous and powerful, the brushwork is open and clear, it is really a good work.

Zhong Yunlang secretly praised in his heart: "I don't know which master this is." ”

Take a closer look at the four scrolls, all of which are "Fuyaozi Gift Siyuan Virtuous Brother". Zhong Yunlang knew that the full name of the shopkeeper was Lu Siyuan, and said in his heart: "It turns out that this side house is where the shopkeeper lives in the road. These scrolls were given to the shopkeeper by a Taoist chief called 'Fuyaozi'. "The Xinglong Inn of the shopkeeper of the road ushered in the send-off, and there are many strange people in the rivers and lakes, and it is not a strange thing to be gifted.

Zhong Yunlang had no intention of glancing at it, and there was a seven-foot-long wooden stick standing in the corner of the house, with flowing gold plating edges and shining gold. The wooden sticks are intertwined and twisted, and I don't know what is carved. Zhong Yunlang was far away and couldn't see clearly.

The shopkeeper saw Zhong Yunlang's eyes on the wooden stick, and said with a smile: "Something happened last night, so I took this wooden stick to my body." ”

Zhong Yunlang smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "Fortunately, that 'female ghost' doesn't want to hurt you, otherwise, what can you use with this wooden stick." At this time, he was anxious to find out the details of last night, and hurriedly said: "What happened last night, please tell the shopkeeper in detail." ”

The shopkeeper covered the doors and windows, looked around, and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal, and then slowly spoke: "Last night's incident, I didn't dare to bother Zhong Ye, but the matter is big, if there is no Zhong Ye in the court, it will not be possible to do it with the strength of a certain person in the road!"

Zhong Yunlang wondered in his heart: "Why do you need to go around the court for this vendetta in the rivers and lakes? Could it be that this 'female ghost' is an important member of the court and the central government? That is really ridiculous." But seeing that the shopkeeper said solemnly, his expression was also quite eager, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and said gently: "What does the shopkeeper say is not troublesome, but if there is something difficult to do, you can say it, and I should administer justice for you." No matter how much he boasted of the Iron Sword Villa, and no matter how sacred the 'female ghost' was, I would never allow them to kill innocents indiscriminately. ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and smiled: "These are all trivial things, are there fewer people in the rivers and lakes who are full of people because of a disagreement?" Zhong Yunlang saw him so lightly, and wondered in his heart: "This road shopkeeper seems to have been crawling in the rivers and lakes for a long time. ”

The shopkeeper raised his head and sighed: "I'm talking about something else." In the whole world, Lu Mou can talk about this matter, I am afraid that Zhong Ye is the only one. Saying that, facing the north, he bowed his head respectfully: "Siyuan is difficult to take on a big responsibility alone, and now I will talk about such a big thing with Zhong Yunlang, the god of the river, and I hope that all the heroes will be blessed by the spirit of the sky." ”

When he stood up again, the shopkeeper seemed to be a different person. I saw that his eyes were as bright as lightning, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, his face was clearly contoured, his old gray complexion contained a sense of vicissitudes, and the white hair mixed with his temples was the wind and frost he had endured for many years. His back was slightly rickety, but now he straightens his waist, and he is quite tall and handsome.

The shopkeeper closed his eyes tightly, his throat moved, and he slowly chanted: "The group of heroes under the city of Lanyuan is scattered, and the soul of the young man cannot be returned." ”

Zhong Yunlang's eyes flashed, and he said in surprise: "The shopkeeper of the road...... You...... Are you?"

The shopkeeper of the road bowed to Zhong Yunlang: "Master Zhong, in the next road Siyuan, under the city of Lanyuan back then, among the six masters, only I survived ......"
