Chapter 38: A Little Windfall
The battle with Huang Yaoshi made Ding Yu clearly see the gap between himself and the super-first-class masters: body technique, true qi quality, shooting speed, and of course, skill.
In fact, Hong Qigong and Ding Yu were fighting - to be precise, when he fed the moves, he already had a vague feeling, but Hong Qigong had always suppressed his skills at a level similar to him, and he also used a hard-hitting method when dismantling the moves, which caused Ding Yu's maximum power. However, Huang Yaoshi was almost the opposite, although he did not use all his strength, but he relied on his superior body and hand speed to suppress Ding Yu to fight, or used his condensed finger flick magic power to make Ding Yu unable to deal with it. This made Ding Yu feel urgently how important a clever light exercise method was, but he felt that he would be able to obtain it soon, and this confidence came from the "Nine Yin True Scripture: Complete Text".
The lower volume of Jiuyin Ding Yu has arrived, but the upper volume is in the hands of Zhou Botong, and it is the only original book, and there is no other home (the one in the ancient tomb of Zhongnan is a remnant). He wanted to get two choices, one was to go to Peach Blossom Island and find a way to get it from Zhou Botong, and the other was to wait for Guo Jing to learn all the content from Zhou Botong and then ask Guo Jing for it.
The second choice is too unsafe, although Ding Yu and Guo Jing have a good relationship now, but after all, the two have very different styles, Guo Jing is a high-level member of the Holy Mother Sect, and Ding Yu is the backbone of the Shura field, no one can predict whether the two will fall out halfway, Liang Ziweng is a precursor, and it will be good not to be enemies when the time comes, let alone teach the true scriptures. Therefore, this can only be used as a fallback option.
The first option seems to be relatively safe, but in fact it is also difficult, and the key is in what capacity he goes to the island. First of all, his relationship with Huang Yaoshi must not be too good, otherwise Zhou Botong will think that he is helping Huang Yaoshi to deceive him with half a volume of scriptures; secondly, his relationship with Huang Yaoshi must not be too bad, otherwise as soon as he sets foot on Peach Blossom Island, Huang Yaoshi will kill him, and at worst, he will expel him from the island; third, while maintaining a good or bad relationship with Huang Yaoshi, he must also let Huang Yaoshi have enough patience with him, so that he and Zhou Botong can have long-term contact without interfering. How delicate does it take to meet all three?
In the original book, as soon as Guo Jing and Huang Rong went to Peach Blossom Island, Huang Rong was locked up by her father. However, the miraculous thing is that Huang Yaoshi actually indulged Guo Jing to run around the island, not to mention, he also used the sound of the flute to lure Guo Jing to the place where Zhou Botong was imprisoned, and then let Guo Jing and Zhou Botong fight hotly, and asked the dumb servant to bring food to the two of them every day - is it possible that the Peach Blossom Island Prison is overcrowded and has to implement two people and one warehouse?
In the final analysis, the golden finger that Lao Jin gave Guo Jing is too mysterious, and others can't copy it even if they are familiar with the plot, so Ding Yu doesn't think that he can meet the three conditions at the same time, but since Guo Jing has the aura of the protagonist, then he only needs to create a reason so that he can go to Peach Blossom Island with Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and use Guo Jing's protagonist aura to achieve his goal.
Now Ding Yu finally got an excuse to set foot on Peach Blossom Island - to send Xiao Huang Rong home, and then sensationally move Guo Jing to go with him, the reason is to let Guo Jing make amends on behalf of the six masters and dissolve the revenge of the murderer, which is also the reason why Guo Jing went to the island in the original book.
In the original plot, Guo Jing and Huang Rong should meet Li Sheng and Miss Cheng Yaojia, the eighth generation disciples of the Beggar Gang, and help them both drive away the flower thief Ouyang Ke, and it is precisely because of this incident that the two of them were finally recognized by Hong Qigong, and then officially accepted as disciples.
Ding Yu didn't know where Cheng Yaojia's mansion was, and even if he knew, he didn't plan to join in the fun. Guo Huang's ultimate goal is to go to Jiaxing Zuixian Tower and go to the appointment with the six monsters in Jiangnan. From Guiyunzhuang to Jiaxing is only more than two hundred miles, fast horses can be whipped in one day, even if the two of them delay, ten days can always arrive, he decided to arrive at the Zuixian Tower first, waiting for them there, if the time is relaxed, you can also go to Lin'an Niujia Village to make a windfall.
After making up his mind, Ding Yu spent a day and a half along the official road to Jiaxing, the reason why he was delayed for a while, because when he passed through Wuxi and Suzhou, he made a ruthless purchase in the pharmacies in the two places, and the ginseng, astragalus, atractylodes, Poria cocos and other medicinal materials that replenish the middle and nourish qi are almost sold out, but the two treasure ginseng at the bottom of the box like Liang Ziweng is not a dream, at most only buy some wild ginseng that is more than a hundred years old, Rao is so, but also let Ding Yu's more than 3,000 taels of silver tickets shrink by two-thirds, and finally in Jiaxing City, he almost emptied his money bag again, leaving only a few dozen taels to live.
Ding Yu lived in Zuixian Building, left a letter at the counter, and instructed the shopkeeper to hand it over to them if he saw Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and also described the appearance of the two, thinking that he would not admit his mistake, the key is that the little red horse is too outstanding, and in modern times, it is a limited edition Lamborghini, and it is difficult to admit mistakes. He himself takes the tonifying and nourishing qi soup made of the best medicinal herbs every day, transports his internal strength for half a day, and exercises his skills for half a day.
After about ten days, seeing that Guo Jing and Huang Rong had not yet arrived, and his bags were about to run out, he simply set off on a fast horse in the evening and rushed to Niujia Village outside Lin'an City in the middle of the night. I saw a dilapidated hotel at the head of the village, and a tattered flag was picked out outside the door, Ding Yu walked closer with light steps, and heard the regular breathing sound of someone inside, obviously asleep. He took a look at the fire, and saw an unkempt girl curled up on a pile of hay in the corner of the house sleeping on Zhengxiang - Niujia Village, restaurant, silly aunt, there is no doubt that this is Qu Lingfeng's restaurant.
Ding Yu walked into the store and hit the stupid girl's sleeping hole with a gentle technique, so that she could not wake up for an hour or two. Then I walked to the back kitchen, found an iron bowl that I couldn't lift in the cupboard, twisted it a few times from side to side, and then I heard the sound of Kerala, and the kitchen wall parted left and right, revealing a swarthy room. Ding Yu paused for a while, waited until the filth cleared, and then walked in.
There are only two sets of bones and a large iron box in the fighting room, one of the bones was originally Qu Lingfeng, the eldest disciple of Huang Yaoshi, and the other was a master of Ouchi, just because Qu Lingfeng repeatedly entered Ouchi to steal treasures in the palace, in order to dedicate it to Huang Yaoshi one day, in exchange for the opportunity to re-record the door wall, but in the end it attracted a master of Ouchi, and the two died together in the fighting room. The iron box is naturally the treasure of Ouchi stolen by Qu Lingfeng, which is divided into three layers, the first layer is the treasure pearl jade, the second layer is the antique utensils, and the third layer is the famous calligraphy and painting. Ding Yu's purpose is this treasure chest, but he didn't plan to collect it all, just picked up the first layer of jewelry gold and jade without a mark and took a few, although the others are more valuable, but the source is too big, and want to come to the palace There are records, once it flows out of the market, it will inevitably attract the pursuit of Ouchi, so Ding Yu didn't touch it, so he covered the iron box, carefully swept away his footprints, handprints, and closed the secret door; Only then did he ride on horseback and return to Jiaxing on the moon.
During the day the next day, Ding Yu went to Suzhou again and sold several pieces of jewelry in several large pawnshops, in exchange for nearly 10,000 taels of silver tickets. When he returned to the Drunken Immortal Building again, he happened to see Guo Jing and Huang Rong asking and answering with the shopkeeper.
