Chapter 2: The Wolf Howls in the Hollow Valley
When he arrived at the lake, Jing Tianming sighed deeply.
A mirror loaded with the sky lies horizontally, the mist that has not dissipated in the early morning is like a faint white powder puff on the cheeks, and the lilies, peonies, flower ninjas, Ruixiang, hypericumes and deer weeds that quietly bloom are faintly decorated on the lips like a few bits of rouge. In the mist, which was as clear as tears and as soft as flying sand, a woman sat on her knees among the flowers, tilting her cheeks slightly, so that the lake would reflect her face. But seeing the woman's hair in the water like satin, her fingers like green and white gently swept through it, and as her hair fluttered, even the lake water, which was originally as smooth as a mirror, rippled her face.
Jing Tianming was confused by what he saw in front of him, and he didn't even realize that the lake water soaked his boots, and he couldn't tell for a while, was this piece of mirror beautiful? Or was the woman more beautiful?
The woman didn't know that there was anyone, so she combed her long hair comfortably, stretched her left foot, took off her shoes and socks, and naughtily tapped the water with her toes, and every time she touched the lake between her toes, it was accompanied by a laugh like silver bells.
"Oh my God, it's Ah Yue!" Jing Tianming rubbed his eyes, and was thinking about whether to call her out loud, but saw Gao Yue slowly lift his trousers, revealing a pair of slender **. He looked fixedly, on the well-proportioned snow-white right foot, there was actually a cinnabar-colored cherry blossom petal imprint, Jing Tianming was stunned, although the cinnabar on Gao Yue's foot was red, but his face was even redder. When he saw the distraction, Jing Tianming suddenly turned his head away violently, and his strength was so great that he almost twisted his neck.
"What am I doing here, what am I doing here?" Jing Tianming's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of anything, "Yes, I'm here to ask her to go back. Yes, yes!" Thinking of this, he didn't dare to look back, in a daze, he just stretched his arm back as much as possible, and slammed towards Gao Yue, and he felt strange after recruiting for a long time, why didn't Gao Yue react at all? Looking back, Gao Yue didn't find himself here at all, and he was playing with his bare feet on the water, and then he seemed to be looking for something, looking east and west, Jing Tianming saw her playful appearance, and he was relieved in his heart, and comforted himself: "Alas, isn't it Ah Yue, what am I nervous about?"
When he looked at it again, Gao Yue's face was like spring, and he shyly and timidly reached out to untie the front ring, and the skin between the collarbones reflected in the ice and snow reflected on the lake surface all year round reflected each other. Jing Tianming shook slightly, as if he had been hit by five thunderbolts, he held on to the big tree beside him, and when he saw Gao Yue reach out to unbutton a button, he turned around and walked quickly, running seven or eight steps away, and then stopped his footsteps and stood still. A burst of fiery heat spread from his heels to his ears and neck, Jing Tianming took a deep breath, and then ran out of the forest with a light speed that even Gai Nie couldn't match.
The three of them rushed south through the mountains and mountains, and this time with Zhou Laohan's guidance, they no longer had to worry about the road. Along the way, Xiang Yu talked to Gao Yue about fighting, and he was so unhappy to go, but Jing Tianming, who was following the two of them, looked listless and sighed.
After stopping to rest in the evening, Gao Yue took out the dry food from Xiang Yu's bag, and naturally sat down next to Jing Tianming, opened his mouth and was about to eat, but Jing Tianming stood up, looked around, and chose a place close to Xiang Yu to sit down.
Gao Yue glanced at Jing Tianming suspiciously, took a bite of the cake, looked at him, and took another bite, recalling the various behaviors of Jing Tianming who had left the mountain village, and even more took a big bite of the cake. "Stinky buns," Gao Yue became more and more suspicious, thinking to herself, "He must be hiding something from me. γ
"Stinky buns, do you have something on your mind?" Gao Yue finally couldn't help it and asked as she broke the gourd.
"No. Jing Tianming said.
"Why didn't you talk much along the way?"
"Is there one?"
"Then why are you always in a daze?"
"No. γ
"Why are you blushing now?"
γ......γ
"Why don't you speak? Otherwise, why would you sit there? Since you have something on your mind, why don't you tell me?" Gao Yue threw out a series of questions, which made Jing Tianming furious. After the chance encounter on the lakeside that day, Jing Tianming had a thousand questions and ten thousand whys in his heart, he didn't dare to think about it, but he was reluctant to really don't want to, as for why this was, there seemed to be an answer in his heart, but these words couldn't even be said to himself, so how could he say it to Gao Yue?
"You're talking. Annoying. Gao Yue became impatient, stamped his foot, and pulled his ear and shouted, "To the endβisβwhyβ?"
"Why?" Jing Tianming stood up suddenly, blushing and shouting, "Okay! I'll tell you why! Men and women don't kiss, that's why!"
Gao Yue was inexplicably yelled at such a sentence, the fire became louder, and he was about to talk back, but under Jing Tianming's eyes looking at him, a heartbeat came from nowhere, and his face was red. "You...... You...... I ......" Gao Yue's words came to his lips, but it became, "Okay! Anyway...... Anyway, hmph, I don't like to hear it, girl. His tone was hard, but his voice was much quieter.
The two of them returned to their seats, and they both pinched the bread in their hands to vent their anger, but no one looked up anymore. All this was looked at by Xiang Yu who was on the side, only to hear the "poof", Xiang Yu licked the crumbs that sprayed to his mouth a little, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I choked on eating too quickly. γ
After that, on the way to Guiling City in Qi State, Jing Tianming always kept a certain distance from Gao Yue, and when Gao Yue saw him like this, he sometimes put on a look of ignoring him, and laughed and joked with Xiang Yu by himself. These two have always talked about everything and shared weal and woe since they were young, but at this time they have become unfamiliar. Xiang Yu knew that they had an awkward quarrel with each other, and he expected that they would soon be solved as before, so he did not persuade them. It's just that Jing Tianming's brows furrowed tighter the further south he went, and Xiang Yu couldn't help muttering secretly, feeling that Jing Tianming was so scheming with a girl's family, it was too childish. How did he know that there was another thing lingering in Jing Tianming's heart.
Seeing that he was gradually approaching the Guiling Tomb of Qi State, Jing Tianming felt more and more that the big stone in his chest was sinking day by day. Just thinking of the words "War against Qin", a tiredness for no reason pressed his shoulders. He thought of the small village in the mountains several times, Zhou Laohan, Xiaoyu, the little brother of the Yang family, and Aunt Li...... "It would be nice if I could stop there." The thought came to his mind, lingering again and again. But how could he? Even if he could, would anyone else do?
After a hill, people began to appear again, and some Orion houses were scattered in the woods and meadows. The strange thing is that every house along the way is empty, but they all leave one or two animals tied to the door. Jing Tianming knew from Zhou Laohan's cherishing eyes that for these hunters, livestock was their only property, and even if a catastrophe came, they would have to be taken away desperately, and it was absolutely unreasonable to leave the livestock like this and let them destroy themselves.
He was wondering, and suddenly saw a middle-aged hunter dragging a yellow sheep that refused to walk with a rope in front of a thatched hut in front of him. The man tied the sheep, took the baby from his wife's hand and hugged it, and the family of three saluted the yellow sheep and put their feet to leave, when they suddenly saw Jing Tianming and his party coming, and their expressions were very different.
"This sister-in-law, are you going far away?" Gao Yue looked at them with the burden on their backs, and greeted them with a smile. The woman's face was full of fear, her eyes widened and she looked around, and she opened her mouth but could not make a sound. The Orion was a little bolder, looked the stranger in front of him up and down, and waved, "The Wolf God is coming. You'd better go quickly. γ
"Wolf God?" Xiang Yu asked, "What is that?"
"Even the wolf god doesn't know!" The man was shocked, he was about to say something, but after looking up at the sky, he suddenly reached out and grabbed his wife, and said in a panic, "Let's go quickly." Let's go, too!" and went all the way. Gao Yue shouted behind them, "Hey, hey!" The family didn't even look back, just hurried away.
The three of them looked at each other on the ground, and Jing Tian glanced again in the direction where the Orion family had left, and said suspiciously, "It seems that they don't plan to come back. γ
"Really?" Xiang Yu heard this, suddenly turned his head to the sheep tied to him, and said, "Since that's the case......" Then he laughed, ignoring Jing Tianming's objections, and slaughtered the sheep to raise the fire, and leisurely roasted the lamb leg and lamb chops.
Jing Tianming saw Xiang Yu and Gao Yue looking at the gluttonous look of mutton fat dripping on the fire, and felt funny in his heart, but he didn't expect a burst of rich meat fragrance to come to his nose, and his stomach was also grunting. I think it's because I've been eating dry food for a long time, and I can't help but follow my index finger at this time. He sat next to Xiang Yu with a smile, looked up at the puff of smoke and dust drifting into the distance with the wind, and reminded the two: "I don't think things are quite right, let's not stay long, let's hurry up and go on the road after eating." γ
Gao Yue just swallowed a large mouthful of lamb leg meat, sucked her fingers and snorted, "Xiang Xiaoniao, don't pay attention to him, Jing Tianming is very timid, he likes to chase the wind and catch shadows, and he has nothing to say. Let's eat as much as we can!" She herself knew that she was obviously the least courageous of the three, but she just wanted to contradict Jing Tianming. As Gao Yue was talking, Jing Tianming drew his sword in his hand with a "pout" and said, "Something is coming!" Gao Yue ate a leg of mutton and said triumphantly, "Who are you fooling?" Do you think I'm going to be fooled?" Jing Tianming said anxiously, "Listen!"
The two of them pricked up their ears, and sure enough, they heard a few terrible screams of cattle not far away, followed by a chaotic sound of footsteps. "What is this?" Takatsu shuddered with fear. Before Xiang Yu and Jing Tianming could answer, a big black wolf popped and jumped in front of the three of them, revealing their white teeth, followed by a low roar.
"Could it be that this is some kind of wolf god?" Gao Yue shuddered, but Jing Tianming had already fought with the wolf. He took out several swords in a row to force the black wolf away from Gao Yue's side, and the wolf was like a battle-hardened warrior, with rules for advancing and retreating, and dodging sword strikes with leaps and bounds, but refusing to retreat half a minute. Xiang Yu suddenly realized, knowing that the smell of meat on the fire was overflowing, attracting the wolf, and immediately snatched the leg of mutton from Gao Yue's hand and threw it out. Xiang Yu thought that the wolf must pick up the leg of mutton, but the black wolf did not turn around, but just bowed his body and let a large leg of mutton fly over it.
After the wolves finished eating the pieces of meat, they turned their heads and stared straight at the three living people in front of them. Xiang Yu was in a hurry, pulled down the rack of roast sheep, and then jumped out. The wolves didn't say anything, and there was another rush to eat. Jing Tianming grabbed Gao Yue in this gap and ran to the only dwarf tree nearby, but the tree was thin and small, and could only support the weight of one person, Jing Tianming pushed Gao Yue up the tree without hesitation.
Gao Yue hugged the tree and trembled, and exclaimed, "Wolves! Wolves!
But seeing countless black shadows coming from all directions like a river, there was almost no empty space next to the hut, but groups of wolves still kept running. Jing Tianming and Xiang Yu took swords and torches to fight under the tree, the more bitter they became, the more wolves came, and the space where the two of them could exert their strength gradually shrunk.
Gao Yue wiped her cheeks, and her palms suddenly turned red. At first, she thought that wolf blood was about to spurt up, but when she looked at it again, Xiang Yu was waving a torch in her left hand and a treasure knife in her right hand, but the little red star was splashing out from Xiang Yu's right arm. Gao Yue hurriedly shouted, "Brother Xiang Yu, are you okay?" Xiang Yu didn't answer, as if the sword and torch were not enough, kicked up with his left foot, and kicked over a hungry wolf that pounced on him.
Gao Yue stayed in the tree, watching Jing Tianming and Xiang Yu fighting bloodily below, she suddenly felt lonely, tears fell down, she was deeply annoyed why she didn't listen to Jing Tianming's words before, and regretted that she shouldn't have instigated Xiang Yu to roast sheep. In the tears, Gao Yue saw that there were more wolves, or three or five, or more than a dozen, coming in groups, and in this large group of wolves that were yellow, black, red, or gray, a huge wolf appeared in it, running east and west at lightning speed, and in an instant ran in front of the wolves, and flew with four hooves, as if a god had descended to the hut.
"Wolf God!" Gao Yue no longer wondered, and let out a loud exclamation.
When the wolf god appeared, the western golden crow had not yet completely fallen, but the silver plate in the east had already risen, and the blood-colored red glow and the icy blue light were mixed together, only illuminating the earth breathlessly. The wolf god was halfway through running, and suddenly heard Gao Yue screaming, turned his head and glanced at the tree, and it was an old man's face.
But I saw that the wolf god's long gray hair was scattered in the wind, a few strands of silver hair hung down on his chest, the whites of his eyes were covered with red silk, the corners of his mouth were still drooling, the brown cloth shirt he was wearing had long been scattered into strips, and his hands and feet were stained with loess, which was obviously caused by running on all fours. He glanced at Gao Yue, then stopped looking and ran straight to the roof.
The old man stood on a high place, with a strong wind under his feet, and a bright moon of fifteen on his shoulders, and a fierce aura shot straight out of his mighty body, just hooking his beast-like gaze, but under that look, all that was written was the vicissitudes and loneliness of a sixty-year-old man in his life.
The old man looked at the sky, the bright moon like white jade, and a line of tears quietly fell.
The wolf roared loudly!
With the whistling sound, the wolves who were originally robbing me and disturbing each other stopped their movements and returned to their teams. Surrounded by their families, the leaders of the male wolves, black or yellow, red or gray, raised their necks and wept with their faces facing the moon wheels. For a moment, I could hear the sound around the hut. When all the leaders of the wolf team have barked, and the wolf people who are crowded here are overflowing, then they will meet together and howl together.
"Woo-woo-......woo- The long whine continues to be like a white practice, light as the spring rain knocking on the window, heavy as the summer thunder of the mountain, slow like a maple red ground, urgent if the Songjiang River breaks the ice;
Hundreds of wild wolves barked in unison under the moon, but they couldn't hide the long howl of the waves that coexisted with agitation from the old man's mouth.
"Stop shouting!" Gao Yue shouted in her ears, but even she couldn't hear what she was shouting, and she couldn't stand it anymore and fell down the tree. Although Xiang Yu had learned martial arts for a few years, under the urging of the old man's howling voice, he still couldn't help but throw the torch and treasure knife in his hand on the ground, and covered his ears with his free hands. "This old man has such profound internal strength!" Jing Tianming's eyes did not leave the condescending wolf god for a moment, but the wolf god ignored him, and just let out a long howl, as if he wanted to spit out the sorrow and sorrow accumulated in his chest in one breath.
The more Jing Tianming listened, the more sad he became, the more sad and bitter he became, as if it was not the wolf god who was standing on the roof and weeping, but himself. When he walked away in distraught, the true qi in his body suddenly surged and drummed. Jing Tianming suddenly became alert. When he looked again, the old man was already howling and walking, and most of the wolves were leaving, following the old man into the darkness.
"Alas!" Xiang Yu's weapon in a trance had been lost, and at this time, the big black wolf who refused to give up his food was bitten into his right arm. Jing Tianming slashed down with a sword, and the wolf's head was suddenly different. It's just that the wolf is fierce and abnormal, and when his head is broken and blood is spurting, his eyes are round, and he bites Xiang Yu's hand and doesn't let go. When the rest of the wolves saw that their prey was injured, they were willing to give up lightly, and they were furious, and they pounced on them one by one and bitten, but they were all repelled by Jing Tianming.
"Where's Ah Yue, what about Ah Yue?" Jing Tianming shouted in confusion. Xiang Yu was using his left hand to break the head of the wolf that nailed him, the wolf's head was not moving, he didn't care about his own blood, and when he looked again, how could there be Gao Yue's figure on the left and right beside him? Jing Tianming's right hand long sword stabbed, left hand treasure knife slashed fiercely, and couldn't stop shouting Gao Yue's name in his mouth, Xiang Yu was seriously injured at this time, almost exhausted, and shouted: "Leave me alone!
The wolves are fast to the mouthful of food, where are they willing to let them escape, and they are in a hurry. Not long after Jing Tianming ran out, Xiang Yu had already fainted, but the blood dripping from the head of the fighting wolf on his arm attracted more and more wolves to chase after him.
Jing Tianming tried his best to run along the road and pull out a distance from the wolves. But he knew that the wolves were very strong, as long as he stopped a little, he would soon be caught up by the wolves, but if he didn't stop the bleeding for Xiang Yu first, he was afraid that Xiang Yu's life would be in danger. Seeing that there was a tree on the side of the road, he didn't think about it, so he jumped up the tree with Xiang Yu. Jing Tianming stretched out his hand to pull the wolf's mouth, but he couldn't pull it no matter what, and when he was helpless, he saw a person on the eastern road running far away, and a large group of wolves followed behind. It seems that the situation is sinister, and a horse and a person may be kissed by a wolf at any time.
I saw that it accelerated as it ran, and its hooves flew up as if it did not touch the ground, and immediately left the wolves far behind. Jing Tianming saw that the traveler was out of trouble, and exhaled lightly. Unexpectedly, after the horse had dragged the wolves some distance away, he stopped running, and stepped on the road with broken steps, stomping and swinging his tail, like a naughty child, as if he was teasing the wolves behind him. Seeing that the wolves were getting closer and closer, the horse was still leisurely, but did not run. When a wolf rushed behind it and opened its mouth to bite, the horse rushed forward, this run was like a meteor in the sky, not only throwing the wolves away again, but also flying over the tree where Jing Tianming and Xiang Yu were staying.
The man rode through the tree, only in an instant. Jing Tianming saw that it was none other than Granny Jiang who was sitting on horseback with a bow and was the Granny Jiang who folded her clothes and poured tea behind Yingchuan Shuangxia and scolded herself for being a "hairy boy mixed with a brand".
The horse, not far from the tree, neighed and stopped. No matter how Granny Jiang kicked and hit, she refused to take another step, and Granny Jiang had no choice but to let it turn around, but she didn't expect the horse to gallop to where Jing Tianming was. At the same time, the wolves that were originally chasing Jing Tianming had also arrived, and the wolves jumped down the hill and immediately collided with Granny Jiang. When Granny Jiang saw the wolves rushing towards her, she yelled at the black horse, "Mud! If you weren't nosy, you would have these troubles!"
In an instant, the old woman's back was no longer hunched, her eyes were not cloudy, she held the reins on her left and raised her crutches on her right, she really moved like a rabbit, she was as strong as a monkey, and she put her body on both sides of the horse's back and forth, and used her crutches as a stick to fight the wolves running by the mud. The mud followed the master's movements and turned left and right, as if he knew the master's intentions, and always sent the wolf's head to the master's turn, only to see Granny Jiang crutch one by one, crutches by one, and the wolf head was smashed with sticks, and those evil wolves didn't even have time to snort, so they flew away under the crutch. In the blink of an eye, all the wolves fell to the ground, and none of them were spared.
Jing Tianming was stunned on the tree, just now Granny Jiang hit the crutches, and now there are sixteen horses lying on the ground, and she only hit sixteen crutches from beginning to end, and her face is not red or panting, as if she is nothing. "I didn't expect there to be such a high person in the world. Jing Tianming wanted to open his mouth to thank Granny Jiang for saving her life, but he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Seeing that the matter was done, the horse at Granny Jiang's feet let out a few breaths from her big nostrils, flicked her mane and approached the tree, and bit the corner of Jing Tianming's robe with one mouth. Jing Tianming saw that the horse was leprosy, with a big head and short feet, and he looked like a donkey, but he was very affectionate with himself, and couldn't help blurting out, "It turns out that your name is rotten mud. γ
The horse heard Jing Tianming call its name, and he was very proud, and he was about to have fun with Jing Tianming, but he was beaten on the head by Granny Jiang. Granny Jiang asked Jing Tianming, "What about Xu Ren?"
"Xu Rang?" Jing Tianming shook his head and said, "I didn't see any Xu Rang. It's just me and my wounded brother. Jing Tianming pointed at the unconscious Xiang Yu and said, "Trouble the mother-in-law to take him away, and there is a friend in the younger generation who is lost in the wolves, so he has to be saved. γ
"Mao boy, are you your mother-in-law your grandmother?" Granny Jiang dragged the two of them off the tree, jumped off the horse herself, and shouted, "Go up!"
Jing Tianming said, "It's better for my mother-in-law to ride a horse. Just carry my friends ......"
"What a ramble. In the end, you are an old woman, or am I an old woman. Go up!" Granny Jiang lightly slapped the wolf's head that bit Xiang Yu with her palm, but the wolf's skull shattered and fell to the ground. As soon as the wolf's head fell, Xiang Yu's right arm was bleeding like a note, Jing Tianming saw this and hurriedly clicked on the acupoints around Xiang Yu's wound, and the blood flow slowed down. Granny Jiang saw Jing Tianming's quick shot and strange acupuncture points on the side, and she said with a "huh", and said, "Mao boy still has this hand, mother-in-law is really out of sight tonight." Anyway, it seems that Xu Rang can't be found. Mother-in-law will give you a ride. After that, Jing Tianming couldn't help but say, stretched out his palm and pushed, and sent Jing Tianming and Xiang Yu on horseback.
Jing Tianming took Xiang Yu and the two of them to ride, and Granny Jiang ran on the side of the horse without slowing down. She took the two to the edge of a small river, and ordered Jing Tianming to dismount, "There will be a village within three miles of crossing the river to the south, and the wolves will not be able to find you if you are wet with the river, so take your friend to a doctor for treatment." As he spoke, he suddenly brought an old face in front of Jing Tianming, grabbed the placket of his shirt and whispered, "Mao boy, we haven't met today, remember." If you dare to say more to anyone, hum ......."
Granny Jiang said that she turned around and got on the horse and left. Jing Tianming looked at their departing backs, only to see Granny Jiang being old, hunched over, turning back into the ugly old woman, the mud and a limp leg, and after walking a few steps, she spat out the atmosphere, and one person and one horse splashed a lot of water, and went bumpily.
"Whew, I'm finally in Guiling City. After stepping into the gate of Guiling City, Xiang Yu's pale face finally showed a little vitality, and he sighed. Jing Tianming didn't reply, just looked at the bustling and crowded city streets, his gaze stayed on everyone's faces. In the hurried and chaotic crowd, there were sergeants preparing for battle, frightened merchant pawns, and children and women with large bags and small bags ready to flee to Linzi...... What kind of people have all, but there is no high moon.
Xiang Yu seemed to know what was on his mind, and said, "As long as Gao Yue is alive, she will definitely come. Xiang Yu said this very quietly, because in his heart, he knew very well that he had dragged Jing Tianming down. If it weren't for his injury, even if Jing Tianming risked his life, he would have found Gao Yue, and he would never leave lightly. Although along the way, he tried his best to comfort Jing Tianmingdao, Gao Yue would never die, Gao Yue would definitely come to participate in the Hero Conference, and Gao Yue might have been waiting for them in Guiling City. But in the deepest part of his heart, even Xiang Yu himself couldn't believe these words.
Jing Tianming didn't think about it so much, he just replied simply, "She'll come. γ
Xiang Yu nodded and stopped talking, and suddenly pulled Jing Tianming's sleeve and pointed to the side. I saw a group of people watching on the side of the street, but I didn't know what to see. An extremely familiar voice from Jing Tianming came out of the crowd. The voice was eagerly shouting over and over again, "Man has no heart!
Jing Tianming's heart lit up, and he pulled Xiang Yu into the crowd immediately. I saw a young man in a gray shirt, with long hands and long feet, round eyes and a big nose, and a pair of attractive ears hanging on his head. γ
"Big brother!" Jing Tianming couldn't help but shout as he looked at the top of his head. Mao Qiu raised his head when he heard the sound, then smiled, and also got up and shouted, "It's brother!"
"Big brother!" Jing Tianming shouted again with excitement.
"Brother, you're getting taller. Mao Qiu compared his height with his hand and said, "I remember the last time I saw you, you weren't as tall as me." It seems that my brother is not like me, and he has not grown at all. γ
"What did the eldest brother say? Jing Tianming saw that Mao Qiu was still in gray clothes and gray pants, and his body shape was the same as back then, unlike himself, as if time seemed to have no effect on him. The two sworn brothers have not seen each other for a long time, and when they see each other, they continue to talk. After a while, even Xiang Yu joined them, and the three of them complained about what happened after parting, and for a while, the three of them completely forgot to be on the street, and they also forgot about the crowd around them, and they didn't even notice the duck that was still alive just now, and it was already stiff, and even the duck feathers on their bodies couldn't move half of it.
"Why is Big Brother here?" said for a long time before Jing Tianming thought to ask. "I'm here with Senior Sister Duanmu. Mao Qiu said, "Do you want to meet her?" Jing Tianming was even happier when he heard that Duanmu Rong was also in Guiling City, and immediately followed Mao Qiu with Xiang Yu.
"Xiang Yu!Xiang Yu!Jing Tianming!Jing Tianming!" A thin figure chased after the three of them while running and shouting. The two couldn't believe it when they heard the shouting, and as soon as they turned their heads, they were hugged by Liu Bi, who rushed over. Liu Bi hugged the two of them and panted and said, "You are finally here! I knew you would definitely come." Liu Bi gasped for a moment, then looked left and right, and asked puzzledly, "Doubt, it's just the two of you, what about Gao Yue?"
"She ......" Xiang Yu heard the word "Gao Yue", and then his face changed greatly. Jing Tianming said, "She will be there in a few days. Liu Bi was too excited for a while, he didn't notice the look on Xiang Yu's face, and said happily, "Oh." Oh. I'll take you to Uncle Gai. Hurry up. Hurry! Otherwise, you won't be able to catch up with the Heroes Conference. After saying that, he grabbed one with one hand, and then made a gesture and walked forward. Jing Tianming saw that Mao Qiu was a little embarrassed, so he asked, "Big brother, let's go together?" Mao Qiu shook his head and only said, "I live in the Chengxi Inn with Senior Sister Duanmu, and Brother Gai Daxia and Brother Liu Bi are often seen, so you can come to us again when you are free." Then he went on his own.
Under Liu Bi's half-push and half-pull, the two came to a three-room connected house. Jing Tianming and Xiang Yu didn't expect that the dignified hero conference would be held in such a private house. However, as soon as Liu Bi saw a few people standing on the sentry at the door, he had already opened his mouth and shouted, "Senior Brother Qi!"
"When do you have a senior brother?" Xiang Yu pushed Liu Bi and asked. Liu Bi smiled and didn't answer, and ran quickly to Senior Brother Qi's side. This Senior Brother Qi in Liu Bi's mouth is extremely strong, and he is one of the four major disciples of the Confucian master Duanmu Jingde, ranking second, named Qi Jiexun. It turned out that during this period of time, Liu Bi, who had been a great admirer of Confucianism for a long time, finally got his wish and worshiped Duanmu Jingde. Liu Bi hurriedly asked Qi Jiexun, "Master, is his old man here?"
"Not yet. Qi Jiexun shook his head, glanced at the two people in ragged clothes standing behind Liu Bi, and asked very politely, "Are the two brothers also here to participate in the Hero Conference?" But when he spoke, he couldn't help but show a suspicious look on his face. Liu Bi hurriedly leaned over and whispered in Qi Jie's ear, not knowing what to say. Qi Jiexun's face suddenly brightened when he heard this, and he nodded frequently to Jing Tianming and invited them in.
Jing Tianming saw that the longhouse was already full of people from all walks of life, and the three houses were crowded into layers. Among them, the Confucian disciples of Dongshou are the most numerous, and they are all the same as Qi Jiexun and Liu Bi, wearing white robes and scarves, and they are all tied with long ropes at the waist. The difference is that only in Qi Jiexun and the eldest disciple Yang Kuanwen, the third disciple Shao Guangqing, and the fourth disciple Tan Zhi but the long rope used to tie the sword around his waist is yellow, while the other disciples generally use a brown long rope with the new Liu Bi. Although there were hundreds of Confucian children in the room, I never heard them say a word, as if they were in an orderly manner.
There are four main seats in the middle of the hall, and two seats are still empty at this time, and the one sitting on the left of the main seat is Gai Nie, and the old man Jing Tianming who is sitting next to Gai Nie does not know who it is. Liu Bi knew that he didn't know, so he whispered to Jing Tianming, "This is Zhao Nanyang, the head of the Qingxiao Sect who is as famous as your master, Zhao Da Sect. But Jing Tianming looked at it and only noticed that Gai Nie's face had become much older in the past two years, and he inevitably felt some emotion in his heart, but he didn't pay much attention to the world-famous Zhao Da Boss. At this time, Gai Nie also saw Jing Tianming, Jing Tianming was about to step forward, but he heard a Confucian disciple at the head of the door roll call loudly, saying: "The first sword in the world, the disciple of Gai Nie Gai's hero, the son of Jing Ke, the martyr of Qin Assassin, Jing Tianming, arrive!"
When Jing Tianming heard this shout, he suddenly felt his heart sank, his face burned red, and he struggled to walk. For a moment, he felt that everyone in the room was looking at him, and the distance he walked to Gai Nie's side was obviously so short, but he felt as if he had walked for hundreds of years. "Master. Finally walking behind Gai Nie, Jing Tianming shouted in a low voice. Gai Nie didn't say much, nodded at him and said, "Tianming. Good boy, it's good to be here. γ
"The family of the Chu State, the nephew of Xiang Zhuang, the general of the anti-Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu, arrive!" the Confucian disciple who was named continued to shout. Xiang Yu shouted and walked in with a swagger and without pretentiousness, and some of the people present who had experienced the battle of Qin Chu's 500,000 army stood up and greeted him.
"Ahem!" The Confucian disciple coughed twice, as if to attract the attention of everyone present, and shouted loudly: "The mountains are uplifted, the scenery is stopped, and there are countless people, and the virtues are in all directions, and the old man Duanmu Jingde of the Confucian sect is here!"
A trembling old man, supported by a dozen or so Confucian disciples, walked in slowly through the door. But seeing that his expression was serious, as if he had never smiled, his face was full of wrinkles, a sparse goat's mane was tightly attached to his sharpened chin, and like all Confucian disciples, Duanmu Jingde also wore a white robe, but a long gray rope was tied around his waist with a wooden sword that was so long that it almost touched the ground. Gai Nie and Zhao Nanyang saw Duanmu Jingde walking towards the main seat, and immediately stood up to greet them, and both of them respectfully conceded, "Old man Duanmu, please take a seat." As soon as the two of them stood up, everyone in the room also got up and waited for Duanmu Jingde to take a seat.
When Duanmu Jingde was about to sit, there was a sudden sound of "poof!" in the quiet room, and everyone was stunned. Everyone looked for prestige, but everyone was standing, but on the west side of the longhouse, there was a big man sitting and drinking tea. When the man saw that the people were looking at him, he hurriedly said, "What am I doing? He was laughing. Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, there was another person sitting beside the man with a wicked smile on his face. The two people in front of the other look like they are carved out of a mold, both with round faces, thick eyebrows, long and broad shoulders. Zhu Qi, the head of the Dan Prison Gate, immediately recognized the twin brothers as the famous children who shook the five lakes and argued about the three rivers with nonsense, which made the world angry. On the one hand, Zhu Qi knew the details of these two people, and on the other hand, he was kind enough to round the scene for the two of them, so he immediately acted angry and shouted loudly to the second man: "Ma Dasheng, how dare you be so unreasonable?"
"What's the matter? It's just that you're not allowed to say wrong, and I'm not allowed to laugh, right?" The big man with a wicked smile stood up, and he didn't know if he couldn't figure out the situation, or if he didn't appreciate Zhu Qi's affection, and said to himself, "Zhu Dazhang is too domineering. Why are you scolding my brother?" said the other twin, aggrieved, "That's it. I'm the horse loud. He was the horse who woke up first. It was the horse who woke up and laughed first, and it wasn't the horse who laughed out loud. The two brothers pretended to be Joe and sang together, which made half of the people present laugh.
Ma loudly saw that everyone was laughing again and again, and he immediately stood up, pointed at Ma Xianxing and asked, "Brother, you don't laugh when you or pee, why do you choose to laugh when Old Man Duanmu comes in?"
"Because I don't think it's funny when I poop, and I don't think it's funny when I pee, but I think it's funny when Old Man Duanmu comes in. Ma Xianxing said sincerely.
"What are you talking about?" The four disciples of Confucianism were straightforward but were already prone to anger, and when they heard the words of the two brothers insulting his master, the blue tendons on their faces were exposed, and their hands pressed on the hilt of their swords, and they rushed out with an arrow step. Almost everyone present was already leaning forward and leaning back with laughter, but at this time, when they saw Tan Zhi, they rushed out to ask, and hundreds of Confucian disciples were all angry, knowing that the anger had been committed, they quickly stopped their voices. At this time, Zhao Nanyang, who was sitting on the main seat with Gai Nie, was known as "North Gai Nanzhao" on the rivers and lakes, and he not only led dozens of disciples of the Qingxiao Sect to attend the meeting, but also tried his best to invite heroes from all sides. Zhao Nanyang saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly glanced at Dongou Tianying next to the main seat, meaning to ask him to think of a way. Dongou Sky Eagle Yang Falcon immediately understood, so he opened his mouth to persuade Ma Xianxing: "Brother Ma's move is very inappropriate, you need to look at the occasion and place to speak, how can you do it arbitrarily? I think Brother Ma is still ......."
But before Yang Falcon's words were finished, he was interrupted by Ma Xianxing. I only heard Ma Xianxing say in a heartfelt manner, "Brother Yang, the hour of your Cangsong Sect is very loud. Especially your Dongou Sky Eagle is good at walking alone in martial arts, as the head of the Cangsong faction, I also admire it very much. Everyone listened to Ma Xianxing praise Yang Falcon repeatedly, and also said how Ma Xianxing had changed his sex, but after hearing him, he immediately said confidently: "But no matter how good Brother Yang's light skills are and how famous your name is, you have to be reasonable, right? It's like if I want to fart, do I have to control my fart depending on the occasion and the place?"
"Yes, yes. , I can't control it. The same reason can be proven, and the same reason can be proven. Well said brother, I almost admired you. Ma said loudly. Dongou Tianying was so angry by the two brothers that his facial features were misplaced, and he snorted and went back to sit down, not wanting to care about this idle matter anymore.
The head of the Bagua Sect, the senior brother "Jade Shattered Kunlun" Xin Qujie said coldly: "The old man is very curious, your two brothers keep saying that it is funny, what did the old man Duanmu offend the two of?"
"Doubt? Xin Lao'er is right. When Ma heard this, he asked, "Brother, what is it about this old man who has offended the two of us?"
"Simple. Brothers. How could Old Man Duanmu offend the two of us?" Ma Xianxing said, "When Old Man Duanmu entered the door just now, his own disciple shouted that the old man of 'Dephi Bafang' is here, and he shouted wrong, so the brother laughed. γ
"Why did he shout wrong?" Ma said loudly as he looked at the Confucian disciple who was in charge of the roll call and was now stunned, "Since he said something wrong, brother, you can just correct him." γ
Ma Xianxing nodded, looked around, and saw that although the people present were still angry, they couldn't help but wait for him to answer curiously, and couldn't help but feel quite proud in their hearts, and cleared their throats and shook their heads and replied: "The little brother at the door just said that the old man Duanmu 'Dephi Bafang', but this little brother is probably the first in character and can't do arithmetic, so he said 'Dephi Qifang' to 'Dephi Bafang'. Ma Xianxing finished looking at the few roll-call disciples who were about to faint, and didn't forget to add a sentence to him, "It's a pity, it's a pity. γ
"Dephi Qifang?" Ma frowned loudly, stretched out ten fingers and counted one by one, "East, South, West, North, Southeast, Northeast, Southwest, Northwest. It's obviously eight directions, why are there only seven directions left?" and shook his head, "Brother, I think you are confused, this time you are wrong, you are wrong, you are wrong, you are laughing wrong, and you are even more farting in your face. γ
"Nonsense! Where am I wrong?" Ma Xianxing opened his bow left and right, slapped the big head of Ma Loud twice, and said, "Stupid brother, the two of us have lived in the southeast for a long time, and we will take one side of the eight directions, yes or no?"
"Yes, that's right. Ma replied loudly, covering his face.
Ma Xianxing nodded and continued to ask, "Let me ask you again, we have lived in the southeast for so long, have you ever felt the virtue of Old Man Duanmu in the slightest?" Ma Dasheng's voice was rare this time, but all the heroes in the room could hear it clearly, and he could only hear him reply, "That's not true. I didn't feel it at all. γ
"That's right!" Ma Xianxing grinned: "It can be proved that the virtue of this old man of Duanmu has not been able to reach the southeast, so that the eight directions go to one side, and there are only seven parties left?"
When everyone present heard this, they all showed expressions of sudden realization and ridicule. Ma slapped his forehead loudly, and suddenly realized, and pushed Ma to wake up first with a smile, and kept praising in his mouth: "Reasonable! Eight minus one is indeed seven, my brother is so reasonable!"
After listening to it from the Confucian disciples for a long time, I thought that these two people were talking and talking, but in fact, they were just catching the little disciple who was on roll call and making a joke, and I wanted to give up, but I didn't expect the Ma brothers to go around in a big circle or turn back to mock Duanmu Jingde. Is it tolerable, but is it unbearable? The white-robed Confucian was immediately in an uproar.
Yang Kuanwen, the head of the four major disciples of Confucianism, led Qi Jiexun, Shao Guangqing, and Tan Zhi to draw out their long swords with a "brush", and stood in the southeast, northwest, and northwest. The remaining hundreds of white-robed Confucian students saw that the senior brothers were moving, and they were also holding swords in their hands, surrounding Ma Dasheng and Ma Xianxing in all directions. "The two of you are unreasonable!" Yang Kuanwen reprimanded, "Since the two of you have insulted my master first, please taste the power of the Eight Hundred Sword Formation. Ma Dasheng and Ma Xianxing looked at each other, with an expression of "sure enough, I farted on my face", but the matter had come to this point, so I had to pick up the nine-tooth nail rake and crescent shovel that were resting at my feet, and prepare for the battle with back to back.
Seeing that the Heroes Conference had not yet opened, and their own people were about to fight first, the heads of all the families shook their heads and sighed, and they all felt that this move was unfavorable. Even if some people still want to mediate for the Ma brothers, but they saw that Zhu Qi of the Dan Prison Gate and Yang Falcon of Dongou Tianying were robbed by the Ma brothers for a while, and they ended up being bored. Even Zhao Nanyang, who had always known that their brothers were by no means really malicious, saw that these two people were so "incompatible" and "thorough", and they were also speechless for a while, and they didn't know what words to use to excuse these two brothers with bad minds.
"Senior brothers, please stop. A person suddenly walked out of the sword formation of the white-robed Confucian disciples, and said unhurriedly, "Please listen to the little brother. γ
Jing Tianming was already surprised when he saw Liu Bi pushing everyone away and walking to the middle of the house, and he was even more surprised when he heard that he was about to speak to persuade everyone to resolve the dispute, and thought to himself, "When did Liu Bi become so bold? γ
Liu Bi shook himself to the ground with Duanmu Jingde to all the seniors present, got up and said, "Zi said: 'Loyalty to self-cultivation, forgiveness to govern others: so you can refrain from self-denial and repentance, and push yourself and others. The younger brother thought, what is called loyalty, doing one's best for the people of the world, it is called loyalty, just like everyone who came here today to participate in the grand event of resisting the tyranny of Qin. What is called forgiveness, putting yourself in the shoes of others, and treating everyone in the world as your own, is called forgiveness. Liu Bi pointed to Ma loudly and Ma Xianxing and said, "Now these two brothers have come here to be loyal, although they have misbehaved in their words, but in the big festival, they are exactly the same. As the saying goes, the big festival is not lost, and the small festival is not counted, and Duanmu teaches us with the way of benevolence and forgiveness from time to time, so who cares about this little offense? I hope that all the brothers will give priority to the big festival and forgive them this time. γ
"The children can be taught. Duanmu Jingde, who had not spoken, looked at Liu Bi with approving eyes, touched his goatee, and said, "Cultivating oneself first and then governing others is the end of benevolence and righteousness, which is also the consistent way of our faction of loyalty and forgiveness. The words of the vertical son won my heart. Duanmu Jingde kindly beckoned to Liu Bi and said, "Little child, come here." What's your name?" Liu Bi stepped forward respectfully and said.
"Good, good. Broad text, take the yellow belt. Duanmu Jingde instructed the eldest disciple who had already put his sword back into its sheath, "From today on, Liu Bi will be alongside the four of you, he is the youngest, and he has a lot of truths that comprehend the essence of my Confucianism. If you have done wrong to him, let me know, but you will not obey him. The hundreds of Confucian disciples put the sword back into the sheath according to the words, and watched Duanmu Jingde change the long rope used to tie the sword around Liu Bi's waist from brown to yellow, and they all showed a look of envy. As for the Ma brothers, they accepted it when they saw it, and obediently returned to their seats, and their two mouths were only used to drink tea and eat melon seeds from beginning to end.
The old man Duanmu, who finally got into the seat, was tied with Gai Nie and Zhao Nanyang in the main seat, so that only one of the four seats on the main seat was empty. Jing Tianming listened to the greetings between the three of them in his ears, and thought about it wildly, thinking for a while, this old man had a wooden sword tied to his waist, and he was bound to have great martial arts; While he was thinking wildly, the Confucian disciple who was on the roll call stammered and shouted, "Might...... Commander...... Mojia Lu Zhulang and his disciples Su Beihai, Fang Genghui, Hua Shengjiang, Du Lingfei, Qin Zhao and others, arrived!" After shouting the last group of people who arrived, the disciple finally breathed a sigh of relief.
