Chapter 9 Where is the rivers and lakes

Since the moment Yue Fan used the "four consecutive attacks", the entire mountain road has become extremely quiet. The mountains were all over the field, and only the chirps were heard.

"Good...... What a great young man!"

The dart masters were stunned one by one and froze in place.

Xie Zhenhai also widened his eyes and sighed secretly: "I can't imagine that there is such a number one person in the rivers and lakes, he is so good at a young age, it seems that he is really old." ”

Lu Xun muttered to himself: "What a young hero, foreign kung fu is so tough, I'm afraid only a foreign master like Shaolin Kongwen can be compared." ”

Everyone sighed in their hearts, and they were even more curious about Yue Fan's origin.

In fact, there are many kung fu that can hit several times in a row on the rivers and lakes, but when attacking, it is uncertain and uncertain, and there is not much requirement for muscles. Just think about the "Thunder Fist" in "Thunder Fist", although it is also a "triple attack", but it is mainly based on change, and it is still much worse in terms of force control.

And the "combo" that Lu Xun and others said just now refers to the explosion of body muscles. This kind of combo not only requires very high muscle control, but also has to bear the pressure after the muscle explosion, and the load is so large that only foreign kung fu masters who have cultivated to a certain level will practice.

Generally speaking, three consecutive explosions have reached the limit of the human body's endurance, like Yue Fan exploded four times in a row, how can his strength not be shocking?

......

At this moment, Zhou Jin and the three of them could no longer use the technique of combined attacks, and in the face of Yue Fan's such a powerful attack, they did not have the slightest confidence to win.

Zhou Jin waved his hand with a gloomy face, and said secretly: "Since we can't do it, we can only rely on crowd tactics." ”

The bandits on the mountainside immediately pointed their bows and arrows at Yue Fan, and the bandits on the pass gradually surrounded them.

Seeing this, Yue Fan sighed in his heart: "I didn't expect that not long after leaving the battlefield, I would have to hold a knife again!"

Without too much helplessness, Yue Fan slowly pulled out the long knife pinned to his waist...... For him, killing people is just about living well.

"Little Brother ......"

Xie Zhenhai was about to give the order to carry out, but found that Yue Fan was unmoved and pulled out his long knife.

Depressed, nervous...... As Yue Fan's long knife was pulled out little by little, a strong aura spread from his side......

Violence, killing, bloodshed, madness!

The bandits surrounding Yue Fan retreated backwards with their feet unobedied. There was fear, despair, and death in his eyes, and all the horses tore up.

"Good...... It's so murderous," Zhou Jin swallowed his saliva and scolded secretly: "Fuck my god! What is the origin of this kid? It can't be a peerless devil who has never met in a century!"

In the face of Yue Fan's murderous aura, Zhou Jin and the others regretted it very much. I didn't expect to do a deal, and I would provoke such a killing god, I really didn't ask the god when I went out, and I poured blood mold for eight lifetimes!

"Kill, kill, kill—"

The three roars suddenly made everyone feel that they were on the battlefield of thousands of troops, and their hairs stood on end in fright.

Yue Fan raised his knife and swung it three times, and looked coldly at the surrounding bandits: "There are too many people who have died in my hands, although I don't like to kill, but I want to live more, live well......"

The faint tone revealed infinite murderous intent, and anyone could feel the other party's monstrous killing intent and determination to turn back.

......

At this time, the scorching sun was in the sky, but the murderous aura exuded by Yue Fan made the entire mountain road as cold and piercing.

How dare the thieves take half a step forward, all of them coveted each other, and finally turned their heads to the three village masters.

"Wait!"

Wu Zhong helped Xiao Ming up, and hurriedly said: "Please also ask your subordinates to be merciful! We came out to mix in the rivers and lakes, and we became bandits to make a living." Today's incident is that we are wrong, anyway, everyone has nothing to lose, and this matter has been revealed, what do you think?"

Just kidding, looking at this battle, if you really want to kill, you can't tell who will die and who will live.

Zhou Jin wanted to speak but was stopped by Wu Zhong, Xie Zhenhai and the others didn't have any opinions, they all moved their eyes to Yue Fan to see what he meant?

Wu Zhong said again: "Since Your Excellency has won against us, please do not hesitate to ask for anything." ”

Yue Fan was surprised, he didn't expect the other party to change so quickly, he was slightly stunned, and then said lightly: "I said, I want to go over." ”

When the words fell, Yue Fan withdrew the knife from his waist and looked like he had given up.

"You...... You said you were going over?"

Wu Zhong was a little distracted: "Are you sure you just need to go over?"

"I want to go over, but you insist on stopping me. ”

Listening to the other party's answer, Wu Zhong was stunned on the spot, and his mind was dark for a while...... Just because of such a trivial matter, he made such a situation, and his heart suddenly regretted that the field was green.

After coming back to his senses, Wu Zhong wrinkled his brows and said, "Okay, since Your Excellency is so generous, then I won't bother with it too much." With that, Wu Zhong arched his hand to Yue Fan and shouted to the thieves: "All of them go back to the cottage." ”

escaped death, and if the bandits were amnesty, they didn't even know how much faster they were retreating than just now.

In a few moments, a nest of bandits was gone.

......

As the thieves left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the experience just now was like a dream. The dart masters sat on the ground and gasped, secretly glad in their hearts. The mountain path was calm again, only the chirping that still kept going.

Yue Fan walked up to the steed and touched its mane.

"Wait!"

Yue Fan just wanted to leave, Xie Zhenhai stepped forward and said, "Little brother, thank you for your help just now, otherwise the consequences will definitely be unimaginable." ”

Yue Fan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to thank me, I didn't help you." After retracting the knife, his murderous aura entered his body again, although it was still a little cold, but it was not as terrifying as just now.

Lu Xun also walked up and said, "No matter what, if there is no little brother to make a move today, we will not retreat." In the future, if the little brother has anything, he can come to Taiyuan Longwei Dart Bureau to find us, and the old man is not to be dismissed. ”

Yue Fan nodded lightly and said, "I do have something to ask." ”

Ignoring Lu Xun's stunned expression, Yue Fan said bluntly: "May I ask the old man, how to get the closest from here to Ning County." ”

Lu Xun didn't want to react, and said: "It only takes three days to take the road from here to Ningxian County, but if you are not familiar with the road, it is easy to get lost, so the old man advises you to take the official road." ”

Yue Fan nodded lightly and said secretly: "That's right, if you get lost, you will be delayed even more." ”

"Thank you! ”

"Please wait!"

Xie Zhenhai stopped Yue Fan again and said, "Little brother is going to Ning County, right?"

"Yes. Yue Fan nodded.

Xie Zhenhai said: "Since the little brother is going to Ningxian County, if he takes the official road, he happens to pass through Taiyuan and share the road with my granddaughter, why don't you go on the road together?"

After Yue Fan pondered for a moment, he said very simply: "Okay, let's go!" After speaking, he rode on his horse.

Xie Zhenhai didn't expect Yue Fan to agree so quickly, and a lot of words in his heart were all choked in his throat. After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly turned to Xie Xiaoqing and said, "Qing'er, the road is very dangerous, you go back first! ”

Xie Xiaoqing pouted, although his face was full of reluctance, but in the end he got on the horse and left under the escort of the four dart masters......

Seeing Xie Xiaoqing and the others walking away, Lu Xuncai said, "Big brother, do you want that little brother to give Qing'er a ride?

Xie Zhenhai sighed: "This is an extraordinary time, if the thieves come to find trouble again, then Qing'er will be dangerous, and I have to rest assured all the way with that little brother...... And I have been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, and I still have a little ability to recognize people. Although he is very murderous, he is free to retract and release, not like a person who loves to kill. Coupled with the fact that his eyes are clear and there is no hostility in his eyes, nothing should happen. ”

Lu Xun also nodded in agreement.

"Let's check the dart cart again, and get ready to go!"

......

―――――――――――― Qilian Village, Xiao Ming leaned weakly on the chair and said with a pale face: "Big brother, are we just going to forget it?" Lao Tzu couldn't swallow this breath. ”

"Smack!"

Wu Zhong slammed the table and scolded angrily: "You fucking know a fart!"

Xiao Ming is very arrogant in the cottage, but in the face of his eldest brother, he is very afraid in his bones. I suffered such a big humiliation today, and I wanted to get back to the field, but I didn't expect my eldest brother to lose such a big temper with him, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhou Jin put away the ruffian on his face, and said solemnly to Xiao Ming: "I don't think I can find this field back." Have you forgotten the killing intent just now? Is that what ordinary people can do? I have never seen such a heavy murderous aura, even if some of the most famous demons in the rivers and lakes are far behind.

The eldest brother is right, there are some people we can't afford to provoke, if you are rash and offend such a person, then you will bring about your own destruction. If you want to blame us for our bad luck this time!" After saying the last sentence, he shook his head helplessly.

Xiao Ming shouted: "Are so many of us still afraid that he won't succeed?"

Zhou Jin said with a straight face: "Sometimes, the gap in strength is not something that can be made up by the number of people. ”

......

―――――――――――― I don't know who has said such a sentence: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." ”

Although it is not true, it is not far behind, which shows that the rivers and lakes are big and ubiquitous.

Nowadays, a rural town like Ping'an Town is full of people coming and going, all of them have serious expressions, and they gather in groups of three or five towards the same place, which is the only inn here - Ping'an Inn.

With so many people in the rivers and lakes gathering in such a small place, is there something big going on?

......

In the Ping An Inn, there are more than forty or fifty square tables upstairs and downstairs, almost half of which are full of guests, discussing what they are discussing, and they can't tell whether they are lively or mixed. Strangely enough, they were all armed, and the refreshments on the table were almost unmoving, as if they were waiting for something.

It wasn't long before another group of armed men entered the inn. After seeing someone they knew, Diao walked over, turned each other politely and sat down.

......

戌時 (dusk).

"Boss, give me a room!"

When they heard that someone was coming to the inn again, everyone heard about it. I saw a young man dressed in white and full of white hair standing at the door, followed by a little girl and four big men, and the most important thing was that except for the little girl, everyone else was armed, and at a glance he knew that he was a person from the rivers and lakes.

They were Yue Fan and the others, they had been traveling for half a day, and they were finally able to arrive at a house early before dark.

"You see that the four people in the back are wearing the clothes of the Longwei Dart Bureau, and they should be the dart masters of the Longwei Dart Bureau. Seeing that the person who came was not the one they were waiting for, everyone in the inn began to discuss on their own again.

"Who's that white-haired one? I've never heard of it. ”

"Hehe, maybe it's because of my weird looks, so I never go out, and of course we've never heard of it. ”

"Hehe, reasonable!"

"By the way, did you think they would come? ”

"Of course it will come, but the news is coming 'upstairs'. Don't you see so many people waiting here?

......

Yue Fan naturally listened to everyone's discussions, but it was none of his business, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them. Walked to the counter and said, "Boss, give me a room......"

"No, it's four rooms, and us. Xie Xiaoqing rushed up from behind and said.

Yue Fan nodded at the shopkeeper and said, "Well, there are four rooms, and our money is divided into two rooms." Also, I have a dark horse outside, take care of it for me. ”

The shopkeeper is also a person who has seen the world, although he feels a little awkward, but he still smiled and said, "Okay, okay." Then he raised his voice and said, "Liuzi, quickly take the guests to the room." ”

"Haole!" A junior came out of the side hall and said with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, please upstairs." ”

Yue Fan just wanted to go upstairs, Xie Xiaoqing said: "Big brother, aren't you going to eat dinner, Xiaoqing is so hungry." As he spoke, he looked at Yue Fan with those big watery eyes.

Yue Fan was stunned, touched his stomach, and said secretly: "I've been busy traveling these days, and I basically haven't eaten anything, if someone hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have felt hungry." Forget it, you have to rest anyway, it's better to have a good meal before you hit the road. ”

"Well, that's good, let's eat first. ”

Xie Xiaoqing smiled when he heard this: "The boss sent us all the best food here, and this time it will not be separated...... I'm in for a treat. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "No problem! Liuzi, inform the kitchen to serve the food." ”

"Well, the guest officer will sit down first, and he will come soon. ”

With that, Xiao Er led Yue Fan and the others to an empty square table by the window, poured the tea, and hurried to the kitchen in the back hall.

......

After sitting down, a dart master said in a low voice: "Miss, there are so many people in the rivers and lakes here, the form is very complicated, I will go back to the room early after eating later, right?"

Xie Xiaoqing pursed his lips and said unhappily: "It's hard to have a lively look, why do you want to leave." As long as we don't cause trouble. ”

The four dart masters looked helpless and said secretly: "My little aunt and grandmother, I'm just afraid that you will cause trouble!"

Yue Fan suddenly asked, "What day is today?"

"Today is August 8. Xie Xiaoqing hurriedly replied.

"August 8...... August 8...... It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. ”

Yue Fan muttered to himself, quietly looking out the window, his heart full of melancholy.

When the dart master was in a dilemma, four people walked into the inn, two men and two women, they were gorgeously dressed, all of them were extraordinary, and they knew at a glance that they were famous children.

Xie Xiaoqing said curiously: "Who are they?"

A dart master said: "Seeing that they are wearing purple-edged green clothes, they should be the third generation of disciples of the Qingcheng faction." ”

"Oh-"

While the two were talking, the four of them walked towards this direction.

A handsome and extraordinary boy stepped forward and said, "A few friends of the Longwei Dart Bureau, we want to sit at the table by the window here, can you move it?"

The dart master was about to speak, Xie Xiaoqing blurted out: "Why let you, we also like this table." ”

Although the man was annoyed in his heart, he didn't bother to argue with the little girl, but he still said politely: "Send Xu Shuang in Xiaqingcheng, can our friends give us a face." ”

"Oh!" the dart master was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is Xu Shuang and Xu Shaoxia, one of the 'Four Shows of Qingcheng'? ”

"You're welcome. ”

Xu Shuang was very satisfied with the other party's expression, and pretended to be humble and said: "It is just below, and the last three are Yu Mengqin, Yu Wenji, and Xi Yanran in the 'Qingcheng Four Shows'. ”

"Wow-"

The people present were in an uproar, the "Qingcheng Four Shows" are the leaders of the younger generation, all of them are first-class masters of the Zhou Tianji period, and they are famous in the rivers and lakes.

"Look up for a long time!" The dart master gave his hand again, and took the pair Xie Xiaoqing and said: "Miss, since people are famous and decent, and we are considered to be in the same way, it is better to let it go." ”

Of course, Xie Xiaoqing has also heard of the name of 'Qingcheng Sixiu', but now that she is asked to change seats for no reason, she will inevitably feel angry in her heart. Seeing that Yue Fan was looking out of the window casually, his eyes rolled, and he said to the dart master with a smile: "Okay, you can call him together." ”

When the dart master saw that the person Xie Xiaoqing was referring to was Yue Fan, he was immediately deflated. They still remember today's scene very clearly, how dare they dare to provoke, if it weren't for the old man asking them to protect the young lady back, I'm afraid they would have gone far away.

In the end, the dart master had no choice but to face Xu Shuang and the others, for a reason: "Xu Shaoxia, we don't have any opinions, you should ask this little brother." As he spoke, he led his hand to Yue Fan.

Xu Shuang was stunned, strange that the four of them sat at the same table, but they were not all the way.

......

"The full moon flies into the mirror, and the heart folds the big sword......"

Yue Fan looked at the bright moon gradually rising outside the window, and his thoughts about his relatives increased a little more......

"This friend, can you give up this position? A clear voice interrupted Yue Fan's thoughts.

Yue Fan turned his head to look, but a man with a face like a crown of jade and a lofty aura was asking him.

"I don't want to change!" Yue Fan said lightly, and looked out the window as he spoke.

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Yue Fan to be so faceless and answer so directly.

The dart master and the others were even more embarrassed, only Xie Xiaoqing was holding his mouth and snickering.

At this time, a beautiful woman walked up and shouted, "You're still not a man, don't you just let me sit?"

Yue Fan's thoughts were interrupted again, he was annoyed in his heart, and said with a frown: "Why haven't I heard of letting you sit before you call a man?"

Yue Fan answered honestly, but the woman thought she was perfunctory. So he said sarcastically: "It seems that you are really not a man, and you have no grace at all." ”

Yue Fan sneered in his heart, but he didn't bother to bother with it, he gently picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said lightly: "I don't want to change." ”

The woman was about to get angry when another beautiful woman walked up and arched her hand: "Xi Yanran ...... in Xiaqingcheng."

"Wow! He's Xi Yanran, it's better to meet than to be famous!"

Hearing Xi Yanran's name, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

“...... In Xia Qingcheng Xi Yanran, can you exchange with us, it's too hot here. ”

If other men called Xi Yanran to plead like this, they would definitely agree. After all, it's not a big deal to let a seat, and you can still make people happy and happy.

But Yue Fan was upset for a while, and said coldly: "Are you annoyed, I said I don't want to change." ”

Angry, it was the first time for Xi Yanran to see someone who ignored her existence so much, and her eyes couldn't help but flash with a cold light, and said: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's surname and where the master is, maybe we are also in the same way, so we don't have to hurt the harmony by this little thing." By this time, the Qingcheng Sixiudi dispute had already involved the issue of face.

Xi Yanran's expression Yue Fan was relieved, and said lightly: "Li Yuefan, he is not from the rivers and lakes. ”

"It's not from the rivers and lakes!" Everyone was stunned at this moment, including Xie Xiaoqing and the four dart masters, looked at Yue Fan stupidly.

With a dry cough, Yu Wenji, who was standing at the back, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Since Your Excellency also likes here, then we shouldn't make it difficult for others." Let's go, let's go to another table. The last sentence was addressed to the other three.

"But ......" Yu Mengqin was very angry and wanted to argue, but Yu Wenji interrupted her and said softly: "Don't forget that we sneaked out this time." ”

Hearing Yu Wenji say this, the three of them were silent for a moment. Yu Wenji arched his hand at Yue Fan and the dart master and the others, "I'm sorry." After speaking, he walked towards the empty table in the distance, Xi Yanran and the others glanced at Yue Fan coldly, and also turned to leave.

......

"Here comes the dishes-" Without waiting for a while, Xiao Er brought all the dishes.

Although the inn is small, the dishes here are very good, "this is pine nut fish, this is stuffed beef, this is braised pork ribs......" Xiao Eryi handed over the dishes.

Looking at these dishes on the table, Yue Fan remembered his life in the past four years, except for killing, there was no peaceful day, let alone a good meal......

"Big brother, eat vegetables. Xie Xiaoqing saw that Yue Fan was still stunned, and couldn't help urging.

"Yes. Yue Fan moved really quickly, picked up the bowl and fed the food to his mouth......

“......”

The inn was so quiet that only the sound of Yue Fan eating could be heard.

"Hmph! Sure enough, it's a townsman, and the food looks so ugly. It was Yu Mengqin who spoke, she had always kept in mind what happened just now, and when she saw Yue Fan eating so exaggeratedly, she couldn't help but laugh at it.

But Yue Fan didn't have any consciousness at all, and still ate by himself, which made Xie Xiaoqing and the others angry and funny.

......

"Shopkeeper, give me something to eat. ”

“......”

The whole inn suddenly became extremely depressed.

Yue Fan also felt that something was wrong, put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked up. Outside the door walked in a long-bearded old man of sixty or seventy, emaciated, with a long scar on his face that stretched from the corner of his eye to his cheeks. There were two dirty children, a man and a woman, who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, but their bright eyes contained indifference that did not match their age.

At this time, the old man seemed to notice that Yue Fan was observing him, and looked over.

The two made eye contact, as if communicating. Immediately, the old man nodded in a friendly way like Yue Fan......

After the old man sat down at a table next to Yue Fan, the two children also sat down.

The old man said loudly: "I'm afraid that the heroes from all walks of life are here today because of Xiao and these two children." ”

"......" the crowd was silent.

The old man continued: "The old man said that we don't have a treasure map, and if we had, we would have gone to find it a long time ago. And everyone in the world knows that the four treasure maps have been obtained by the three major families and the richest man in Jiangnan, we just want to live a stable life, why do we still come to embarrass us. ”

......

"Who are they?"

Xie Xiaoqing saw that it was Yue Fan who asked, and said excitedly: "I know, I know." They are Xiao Qin, the housekeeper of 'Blue Blood Villa', and the orphans Ling Suxin and Ling Tian, two sisters and brothers. I didn't expect to meet them today. ”

At this time, a rough voice said, "Although you don't have a treasure map, I have heard that you have seen the map and know where the treasure is hidden." As long as you take us to find the treasure, we will not embarrass you, but will protect your safety. Isn't that better. ”

"That's right, as long as you take us to find the treasure, we'll protect you on your way. The crowd chimed in.

"Haha-" Xiao Qin laughed and said sarcastically: "How do you protect me, what ability do you have to protect me." ”

"Hmph, don't be ignorant!"

Xiao Qin said: "I said, I don't have a treasure map, and I don't know where the treasure is hidden, so it's in vain for you to ask again." ”

"Hmph, you're going to force us to do it?"

The atmosphere of the ......inn was even more tense, and the shopkeeper hurriedly came out to dissuade him: "Heroes, this is a small business, please don't fight here!"

A man in a strong suit waved his knife and shouted: "You fucking little wordy, be careful that Lao Tzu slashes you with a knife." The shopkeeper shrank in fright.

"Next!"

Xi Yanran threw out the ingot silver to the shopkeeper and said, "These are enough for you to redecorate once." ”

The shopkeeper suddenly smiled: "Enough is enough! Thank you, girl, thank you, woman." After speaking, he hid in the back hall with Xiao Er.

Xiao Qin said: "I didn't expect Qingcheng Sixiu to come for Xiao, it's a real honor." ”

Xi Yanran said lightly: "Just look at the excitement!"

Xiao Qin stopped arguing and asked, "What do you want?"

......
