Chapter 128: Connected to the Same Fate

Yi Dan and Na Lu Yonghuai's internal strength was equal, and they dissipated each other's palm power before they gave up.

Lu Yonghuai put away his palm and said, "I didn't expect the girl to be young, but her internal strength is so deep. ”

"The prize was awarded, and the old-timers conceded it. Yi Dan also put away his palms and said.

"When I was dealing with the West Sea fisherman in the alley just now, I knew that your origin was not simple. Why are you eavesdropping here?" Lu Yonghuai asked.

Yi Dan defended: "I'm sorry for the seniors, we didn't mean to eavesdrop. Originally, we just wanted to inquire with the Master of Empty Sorrow where Yongyizhuang was, but we didn't expect to overhear your conversation. ”

"The girl's martial arts are so strong, she even knows how to sharpen the knife to help me learn, Blade Palm, may I ask who you are? Now you can reveal your identity, right?" Lu Yonghuai asked.

"Senior, you misunderstood..."Yi Dan just wanted to explain, when Master Empty Sorrow also came over. Yi Dan hurriedly clasped his hands together and said, "Hello master." Youming also nodded with Master Empty Sorrow.

"Amitabha, it turned out to be two donors. Good, good!" said Master Empty Compassion with his hands folded.

Lu Yonghuai asked Master Kongbei, "Senior Brother Gongyi, do you know these two people?"

Kong Bei nodded slightly and said: "There has been a relationship, and the two donors have a meal, and the poor monk is grateful." ”

"Do you know who they are?" asked Lu Yonghuai.

Although the poor monk did not know the origin of the two benefactors, he knew that the two benefactors were good people. Master Empty Sorrow said.

"That's right, it's still this master who knows the goods, my sister and I are both good people, how can you be like you, you beat people indiscriminately, this is a confused old man. Youming said to Lu Yonghuai.

Lu Yonghuai was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. Don’t know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon.

"Senior brother, don't be rude to the old-timers. Yi Dan scolded Xia Youming, and then continued to introduce himself: "Seniors, my surname is Yi Mingdan, this is my junior brother Youming. The two of us are the apprentices of the heroes of Songshan Lingxi Valley. ”

On the side, Lu Jianyin suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that there is a well-known Taoist leader in the rivers and lakes. It's your master?"

"To be precise, he is my master, my brother's father. Yi Dan explained.

Lu Jianyin said to Lu Yonghuai: "Senior Brother Lu, I know that the Lixian heroes of the Dangshan Cultivation Sect are famous all over the world, and these two are their disciples, so they shouldn't be bad people." ”

"I know this, so please go on with the girl. Also, why did you come to the town gang of my Knife Sharpening Gang, Blade Palm?" Lu Yonghuai said.

Yi Dan bowed respectfully and said, "Everyone listen and talk carefully. Duanyang last year. I went to Youzhou Terrace with my master to participate in the martial arts conference held by the Youzhou Helm of the Knife Grinding Gang..."

In this way, Yi Dan told several people about her encounter with Ouyang Yucheng, her acquaintance, and all the stories that happened.

After listening to the story told by Yi Dan, everyone kept nodding their heads frequently.

"I see, I didn't expect the girl and Ouyang Gang Leader to have such a strange story. It's incredible. Lu Jianyin said.

Lu Yonghuai also continued: "No wonder this afternoon, the girl was in that alley. Use the blade to hit the big scissors of the West Sea fisherman. I originally thought you were a member of the same party in the Ping Zhongwu, so I didn't talk to you much. It seems that the old man misunderstood the girl, please forgive me!"

"How dare you dare, in fact, this afternoon, when I saw Senior Lu secretly helping my junior brother, I knew that Senior Lu was not an ordinary person. It's just that Senior Lu is reluctant to show his identity. It's inconvenient to ask more. Yi Dan explained.

Master Empty Compassion said: "Listening to what the donor said, then Ouyang Gang Leader should also be a chivalrous and good helper. But why did he give up the position of gang leader this time to Ping Zhongwu, a foreign sect under the alias Tang Liansheng?"

Yi Dan said suspiciously: "I don't know what happened here, but I dare to guarantee with my life." Brother Ouyang is upright, brave, chivalrous, and by no means an insidious villain who betrays his ancestors and betrays his country. At the beginning, Brother Ouyang was poisoned, and he wanted me to come to Guangzhou to succeed him as the leader of the gang, but I didn't agree to him. I told him that there was hope as long as he lived. Oh, I know, maybe it's because he feels that he will soon die, so he wants to find someone who can continue to take on the responsibility of the Knife Sharpening Gang and become the gang leader, right? These are all my guesses, and it is unknown whether there is any basis for them. ”

Master Kongbei said: "Yes, what the girl said does have some truth, and the poor monk has such a conjecture. ”

"Well, yes, it must be so. Yi Dan was more sure of his guess.

"I guess too, I still understand Brother Ouyang's personality, he is a kind and chivalrous hero, he must have been deceived by bad people, so he did this kind of foolish thing. Youming said.

"Anyway, everything is just speculation. If we want to know the truth, we must go to Yongyi Village and ask Ouyang Yu in person to understand. The century-old foundation of the Knife Grinding Gang has been obtained through the hard work of many generations, and it must not be ruined by people in a daze. Lu Yonghuai said.

"Okay, it's too late today, then let's go to Yongyizhuang together tomorrow and ask Brother Ouyang for clarification, right?" Yi Dan said.

"It's okay, I still have a few rooms in this courtyard, everyone will stay here tonight and rest for a night, tomorrow morning, I will lead everyone to Yongyi Village together, and find Ouyang Yucheng to understand. Lu Yonghuai said.

"Then I'll bother Senior Brother Lu. Lu Jianyin said.

"yes, then bother Senior Lu. Yi Dan also said.

That's it, so everyone stayed in Lu Yonghuai's courtyard.

After dinner, Yi Dan wanted to go out for a walk and take a look at the bustling night in Guangzhou City. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the room, he met Lu Jianyin's disciple Wang Yunhai, who was kneeling in the courtyard facing the north, lighting paper money and candles, and worshipping.

Yi Dan walked over gently and asked, "Wang Shaoxia, may I ask what you are doing here?"

Wang Yunhai said: "Don't dare to be a young man, please Miss Yi just call me Yunhai." ”

"Okay then, Yunhai, may I ask who you burned these ingot candles for?"

"Today is the 24th day of the first lunar month, the 17th anniversary of the death of my parents, and I cannot go to their graves to pay respects. You can only look to the north. Fly them to burn some paper money, talk about respect and thoughts. Miss Yi, you haven't slept so late, I didn't disturb you, did I?" asked Wang Yunhai.

"I didn't bother, it was still early and I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to go out for a walk. Breathable. Oh yes, Yunhai, may I ask you Gui Geng this year?"

"Hey, I'm ashamed to say that I wasted twenty years of time. Wang Yunhai said.

"I'm twenty-two years old this year, and I'm two years older than you. Yi Dan said.

"Well, then I'm going to call you Sister Yi. Wang Yunhai said.

"You're welcome, Brother Yunhai, have you always followed your master?" Yi Dan asked.

"yes, when I was three years old. My parents have passed away, and it was my master who raised me, and Master is also my reborn parent. Wang Yunhai said earnestly.

When Yi Dan heard this, he was silent, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"What's wrong, Sister Yi?" asked Wang Yunhai.

"Hey, I was just thinking, my experience is too similar to yours. When I was five years old, both my parents died, and it was my master who raised me. So as soon as you say that, I am reminded of my own background. Yi Dan said.

"So we're connected by the same fate. Wang Yunhai said.

"yes, how did your parents get away?" Yi Dan asked.

"Listen to my master. My parents were originally carbon farmers in Yunzhou. Once, a new carload of carbon was cut down and sold in the town, but before the carbon was sold, it was robbed by the officers and soldiers with the car, and my mother persuaded my father to forget it, not to mess with those officers and soldiers. But where is my father willing. Because the carbon and the cart were borrowed from him and the mine owner, if they were lost, how would this family live in the future? My father would not give up, so he had to pull those officers and soldiers to bring the carbon and the cart back. But those officers and soldiers are all beasts that eat people and don't spit out bones. They couldn't stand my father's insistence, so they drew their knives and hacked him to death next to the carbon cart. When my mother saw my father's tragic death, she cried and came forward to reason, and those officers and soldiers were afraid that the matter would be revealed, so they also killed my mother. At that time, my mother carried me on her back, I cried hard, and those beasts also wanted to kill me, and then my master happened to pass by, and beat those officers and soldiers back, and rescued me to raise me to this day. This is my story, which is actually very simple, but it is just an ordinary one among thousands of oppressed people. Wang Yunhai told Yi Dan his story.

Yi Dan wiped his tears, widened his eyes and said, "Oh my God, isn't this the realistic portrayal of Bai Juyi's "Charcoal Seller"?"

"Yes, the fate of my parents is even more tragic than that of the charcoal seller. In fact, in Yunzhou, there are thousands of such people who make a living from charcoal. With gray temples and black fingers, they do the hardest things in the world, but they can't even support themselves, the world is really unfair. Wang Yunhai said while burning paper.

When Yi Dan heard these words, his throat choked unspeakably, and he fell into a deep silent silence. Wang Yunhai saw that she didn't speak, so he asked, "What about you, Sister Yi, how did your parents pass away?"

Yi Dan listened to Wang Yunhai's question, and then he relieved himself and said, "Oh, you asked me?"

"Yes, may I ask your parents, how did they pass away?" Wang Yunhai asked again.

"My father is a hot-blooded knight, who once followed the famous hero You Bailin and assassinated Zhu Wen, the Taizu of today's Central Plains Liang. After the assassination failed, Zhu Wen ordered my Yi family to be beheaded, my father, grandfather, brother and the whole clan were all killed, only I was saved by the master and survived. Yi Dan said.

When Wang Yunhai heard this, he quickly turned his head and said, "Is it? It turns out that Sister Yi, your father, is the hero who assassinated Zhu Wen back then." What I admire most in my life is the hero who killed the dog official and robbed the greedy and helped the poor. To be able to assassinate Zhu Wen, a traitor, is a failure, and he is also a well-known hero. ”

"It's a pity that the more corrupt officials in the world are killed, no matter what time it is, the people are always the worst. It's those corrupt officials, no matter whether it's peaceful or troubled times, they can always make a lot of money. That's why there are so many chivalrous men who ignore the danger and 'rob the greedy and help the poor' to find the last way to survive for the people. Oh yes, when it comes to robbing corruption and helping the poor, I think of a person, she is the kind of chivalrous woman you said, robbing corrupt officials and helping the poor. Yi Dan said.

When Wang Yunhai heard this, he immediately came to his senses and asked one after another: "Is it? In the martial arts, there are really chivalrous women who rob and help the poor? Who is she? Where is she? How old is she?"

Yi Dan still had tears in his eyes, but he was asked by Wang Yunhai so many times, looking at his eyes that he was eager to know the answer. Yi Dan couldn't help but want to laugh again, so he wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Look at your anxious look, is she the same year as me, or my sworn sister?"

"Sister Bacting, really? Then can I know what she looks like? Are you good-looking?" Wang Yunhai asked.

Yi Dan smiled and said, "Of course she looks better than me, she looks as beautiful as a flower." The key is chivalrous and courageous, and not to let the eyebrows be shaved. What's the matter, do you have any ideas?"

Wang Yunhai said a little shyly: "No, I just admire such a woman very much, and I'm curious about what she looks like." ”

"Not only is she beautiful on the outside, but she is even more beautiful on the inside," Yi Dan said.

Wang Yunhai fell into imagination and said intoxicatedly: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a girl in the world." If I could recognize her, it would be worth dying. ”

Yi Dan smiled and said, "You want to know her so much?"

"Of course. I appreciate this chivalrous man the most, robbing the greedy and helping the poor, and she is still a woman, she is still a beautiful woman, of course I hope to know her. Wang Yunhai said excitedly.

Yi Dan teased evilly: "Look at what you said in one breath. She's a thief, aren't you afraid, she's stealing your heart too?"

"I... I'm afraid of what, if she's really what you say. I can't ask for more. Wang Yunhai said proudly.

"That's good, if there is a chance in the future. I'll introduce you two to each other. Maybe she'll like a man like you, too. Yi Dan said.

"Okay, Sister Yi, if that's really the case, I will be very grateful to you, even if people don't look down on me, let's be friends. Wang Yunhai said.

"Well, that's right. People in the rivers and lakes are brothers in the four seas. Yi Dan said.

Wang Yunhai looked at Yi Dan's hair bundle and asked, "Oh yes, Sister Yi, I see that your hair bundle should not be married yet, right?"

"yes. What's wrong?" Yi Dan asked.

"With all due respect, you are twenty-two years old this year, and you should have gotten married a long time ago, why haven't you gotten married yet?" Wang Yunhai asked.

Yi Dan's originally relaxed face showed a serious expression, and said: "I once swore that if my parents' revenge is not avenged, I will not be married for a day." ”

"That Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, causing chaos in the world and dividing the four seas. But he is already dead, how can you take revenge?" Wang Yunhai asked.

"The main murderers who tortured and killed my entire clan were Zhu Wen's two sons. Although his eldest son Zhu Youzhen is dead, the youngest son Zhu Youzhen is still alive, and he is still sitting on the throne of the Emperor of the Central Plains, oppressing the people and causing disaster to the world. Do you think I should kill him and do the people harm?" Yi Dan said.

"But he is the emperor, you are a common man, how can you do it?" Wang Yunhai asked.

"I know it's hard for me to do it alone. That's why I have to travel all over the world and invite the world's leaders. I hope to use the power of the whole martial arts to eliminate the tyranny that is still causing trouble to the people. Yi Dan said.

"It turns out that Sister Yi, the purpose of your wandering of the rivers and lakes is for this?" asked Wang Yunhai.

"Well, that's what I've been trying to do all my life. Yi Dan said firmly.

"Okay, I support you, so who have you invited now?" Wang Yunhai asked.

"There are several heroes who have promised to help me. Among them is the one you want to see, the woman who robs and helps the poor. Yi Dan said.

"Great, what's her name?" Wang Yunhai asked.

Yi Dan smiled slightly: "Her name is Jiang Suyue." ”

"Sister Yi, when will you start your crusade against that big beam, and if there is really such a day, can you bring me with you?" Wang Yunhai asked.

"You want to see Sister Suyue, right?" Yi Dan asked jokingly.

"What's the matter, I just think that everyone wants to overthrow such an unjustified tyranny. I really want to help you, but..."Wang Yunhai stopped talking, with a shy look on his face.

"But what?" Yi Dan saw Yunhai's shyness and deliberately asked.

"But if you can really get to know Miss Suyue by the way, and fight side by side, it is also a pleasant thing. Wang Yunhai said.

"I'll just say it, it's still Sister Suyue's charm. Yi Dan said.

"Anyway, Sister Yi, your friend, I, Wang Yunhai, have made up my mind. Wang Yunhai said.

"Well, I'm the same, and I'm very happy to have a friend like you. Yi Dan said.

"Then may I ask Sister Yi, what are your plans next?" Yun Hai asked.

"I don't know yet, but I want to work with your master and them to settle the matter of the Knife Grinding Gang first, and then continue to roam the rivers and lakes and visit the martial arts seniors of various factions. Yi Dan said.

"Well, I look forward to you getting your wish as soon as possible and avenging your parents and relatives. Wang Yunhai said.

"Well, definitely. Although my desire to avenge my parents and relatives has never wavered, I now have added an extra idea to contribute to the people of the world. Along the way, I have seen how many miserable and poor people are living an inhuman life, and I really want them to get rid of this suffering as soon as possible, and it is enough to be able to live like a person. Yi Dan said.

"Well, change the world in your own right. Sister Yi, your idea is really amazing. Please remember, if there is such a day, please call me along. Wang Yunhai said.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Yunhai. We are all people with the same fate, and we will not forget you when the time comes. Yi Dan said.

"Well, great, I'm really looking forward to the day when the four seas are peaceful and the world is the same. Wang Yunhai said.

Yi Dan smiled, looked at the candle on the ground and said, "The candle is burned out, and the hour is not early." Tomorrow we have to go to Yongyizhuang, maybe there will be a fierce battle. You've had a hard time traveling, so let's all have a good rest tonight. Yi Dan said.

"Well, you can rest early, Sister Yi. Yunhai said. (To be continued.) )
