Chapter 1, Section 5, Assassinated Purple Bamboo Forest (I) 053
It is the morning when the moon is full, the bottom of the Tianyi Pavilion has gathered a lot of people to eat breakfast, the three fresh crab roe buns of Tianyi Pavilion are famous far and wide, the bun filling is made of the crab roe of the unique octagonal crab in Guangling area and egg white and lard, lean pork stirred, delicious and delicious, refreshing but not greasy.
Ren Tianqi stepped forward to ask for three baskets of small bags, ordered someone to send them upstairs, and was about to turn around and step into the store, when he looked up, he saw a man about thirty years old sitting next to the steps, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wide mouth, a blue cotton robe and a clean and clean robe, but he combed his peach head like a child, held steaming buns in both hands, and sang while eating: "Crab roe buns are so delicious, you take a bite and I take a bite, eat one bite less, eat and eat, crab roe buns." With a childlike and childish face, there were four or five empty cages at the man's feet, and the heat in the empty cages was still there, apparently he had just finished eating.
Ren Tianqi felt good in his heart when he saw it: This person is a pity that he has a handsome face, but he is an idiot; hey, the idiot is also blessed, carefree, how many people in the world can be as innocent and lovely as the idiot? Unconsciously he looked at the idiot a few more times, and his eyes were full of pity.
It happened that the idiot turned his head and smiled at Ren Tianqi, stretched out his hand and said, "Hehe, hello little brother, please eat steamed buns, eat steamed buns." β
Ren Tianqi smiled knowingly, shook his hand, and said with a smile: "No need, you can eat by yourself." β
Ren Tang and the others went upstairs to find a table by the window and sat down, and when they looked at it, they saw that the upstairs was full of people from the rivers and lakes, and it was very noisy.
After a long time, a little red Wen Tingyu also came upstairs to sit down.
Ren Tianqi looked a little red.
A little red nodded.
A little red said: "What do you think?"
Ren Tianqi said: "The person who came here has a Tianshan Flame Palm. β
"Are you saying that the person is Cui Xinyue of the Tianshan Mountains? It is unlikely, this person's name is not bad, and he is now over seventy years old, and Cui Daxia has never seen anyone use a sword, in other words, the Tianshan faction has always been based on palm power and internal strength. A little red fan frowned.
Ren Tianqi said: "Yes, the Tianshan faction is far away in the Western Regions, although the Weizhen frontier has little contact with the mainland, and the Tianshan faction has never heard of any scandals that have endangered the martial arts." β
A little red said: "That is, I heard that this flame palm is very difficult to refine, Cui Xinyue has been refining for forty years in the Tianshan Mountains before refining this Flame Palm of Molten Iron Scorched Wood --- Flame Sword Skill." Could it be that the Tianshan faction wants to use technology to suppress people and harbor bad intentions? Could it be that the people who come are also about 70 years old?"
Tang Shengzhi shook his head and said, "It's dark, I can't see the face of the person who came, and I haven't heard his voice." But this person has been hit by the tasteless skin erosion powder of Wu Tang Sect, although there is no big problem, but he also has to swell, scratch, itch and peel for a period of time, and he will be spared where the immortal Zhi Shao also needs to peel the skin three times to heal, during this period, you must not use the power to see the water, otherwise it will become a big illness in a small matter, and it will be poisoned in the muscles and bones, then it will be swollen all over the body, and it will be difficult to heal for a long time, so I don't have to worry about the appearance of this person in these three or four days!"
Wen Ren and Ren listened, looked at each other, and nodded in surprise. This is the best, regardless of whether the matter of life and death is evil or auspicious, after all, it gives everyone enough time to figure out and deal with it.
Tang Shengzhi said: "What we need to find out now is where this person came from, whether he still has a fellow party, and whether it has anything to do with that life and death book, especially whether he is involved with Dianyanluo." I heard that the Ten Halls Yama is the first person in martial arts today, and he must not be able to provoke him. Besides, after the Ming Dynasty, it is said that the owner of Qiu Zhuang congratulates him on his birthday, how should we plan, and it is not the best way to dodge!" Tang Shengzhi was quite remorseful in his heart, and when he came to Yangzhou, he didn't do it for a while, and he made a mistake to get into trouble for the Tang Gate, and now the Tang Gate is in the light, and the other party is in the dark, and it is indeed not a good way to dodge and shirk.
Wen Tingyu shook the iron fan gently, his eyes were shining, and he wanted to take a risk to find out. A little red has always been very interested in the strange things in the world, antique calligraphy and painting, never care whether the controversy is feasible, such as life and death thin this world's first treacherous thing, but also has endless attraction to him.
When he glanced at Ren Tianqi, who was bowing his head and contemplating next to him, there was endless dependence and hope in his heart. In the past two years, he has been getting along day and night, and he has not only sighed at Ren Tianqi's talent, but also admired Ren Tianqi's low-key simplicity, and thought that his expectations might only be pinned on Ren Tianqi, so he often had several more hesitations before acting.
Ren Tianqi's heart is even more uncertain, the experience of seven doors makes him also want to explore the ins and outs of life and death, to solve the mystery of the rivers and lakes; What's more, after coming back, he also formed a bond with Ximen Qingyuan, and he had to guard against it.
Tang Shengzhi saw that the two of them were silent, and said hurriedly: "What I am worried about is that the matter of the academy has been ignited and we can't get out; if we don't solve this mystery as soon as possible, not only will we be personally uneasy, but I am afraid that it will also affect our families, hey, this is a matter of curiosity and nosyness!"
A little red smiled and persuaded: "Brother Tang doesn't have to worry and blame himself. It's hard to say that last night was not misunderstood by others, and the wrong person was found, wouldn't we be in vain? If it is indeed as we are worried, there is nothing to be afraid of, Rutangmen's poison art is unique in martial arts, Brother Tianqi, Renjiabao is also a strong man, and even if someone comes has great ability, he has to weigh it, right?"
Ren Tianqi knows a little bit about being famous, and he is famous in the Black Water Desert and has peerless martial arts.
The three of them fidgeted, ate steamed buns, and changed to tea, waiting for the arrival of Ximen Hongyun and Bo Yifan, and they couldn't leave.
It was almost noon, Ximen Hongyun and Bo Yifan came to the party, hearing that Tang Shengzhi had been assassinated, and the person who came was proficient in the Tianshan Sect flame knife palm, Bo Yifan was dumbfounded, his face was bloodless; Ximen Hongyun smiled: "I am not afraid, sit and wait for him to come." I want to see the ability of this thin life and death, so that he can taste the power of my Simon family. β
The five of them sat down, about to call for food and drink.
One person came to Ren Tianqi's side, bowed down, and said with a smile: "This master, my master is invited, please take a step." β
Ren Tianqi looked up and saw that he was a burly man, but he didn't know him. Tang Shengzhi knew that this person was Xiong Ziming who was teased at the Black Pine Forest Hotel the day before yesterday.
Ren Tianqi returned the salute and smiled: "Brother Tai, didn't he recognize the wrong person?"
Xiong Ziming said with a smile: "Under Xiong Ziming, Gusu Murong's family, yesterday said that the master of my family saw the uncle here with a handsome demeanor, and I wanted to invite the past to talk about it, but I was afraid of losing my manners and slacking off my uncle because of too much drinking, so I came early today to wait for the uncle. You can't go wrong. β
Ren Tianqi had heard of Gusu Murong's name, and said with a smile: "Please ask the honorable name of the master of the Ru family." β
"Murong Hongyun. Xiong Zi chirped.
Ren Tianqi pointed to the four people present, and was about to speak, Xiong Ziming smiled and said: "The young master of my family has ordered several masters to invite them as well. β
Everyone followed Xiong Ziming to the private room, in addition to the four Murong Hongyun masters and servants in the private room, there was also Feng Yiqing, the leader of the Taihu Gang.
Everyone sat down one by one, and Xiao Er put on the wine and food. Murong Chang hated to sit with Ren Tianqi by himself. The maid was full of wine.
Murong Chang hated the cup and said to Ren Tianqi: "Brother Tianqi, the two of us are fortunate to meet today, which is the happiest thing in my life. Come, please have a drink first, talk while drinking, and don't get drunk and don't go home. β
Ren Tianqi smiled and raised his glass.
"Brother Tianqi, where is the house?
"The person in Xia Guangling is 19 years old this year and has not yet married. β
"Hey, Guangling people, that Ren family Sanyi has something to do with you?"
"That's my father and my two uncles. β
"Long admiration, long admiration, it was originally the son of Song Degong, you should pay three cups!" Murong Chang hated and laughed, it can be seen that he still knows a lot about Ren Jiabao's affairs, he toasted three times in a row, and said: "Brother Tianqi, I didn't expect that you have become famous at a young age, I am sighing to myself, and I have spent this life in vain." "Sitting there with a glass of glass can't help but be very sad and lost.
When Ren Tianqi heard this, he hurriedly got up and raised his glass, and said with a smile: "Murong Gongzi is making fun of him, and he has achieved nothing so far, he is indeed ashamed of his parents' nurturing grace, how dare he touch the words 'success and fame', and pay tribute to Gongzi in the next cup." β
Murong Chang drank it all with hatred, grabbed Ren Tianqi's hand and said:
"Brother Tianqi thinks that I can't talk drunk, I'm extremely sober! Brother Tianqi doesn't have to be modest, modesty is the work of pedantic people, how can we despise it. Brother Tianqi at a young age, he has won a number of stunning beauties left and right, and there are many heroes such as Brother Wen around him, although I don't know what kind of amazing cause Brother Tianqi has created, but such a graceful and heroic bearing, how many people can be in the world, how can this not be a success? β
Xiong Ziming saw that the master was afraid of making jokes, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the master's shirt.
Murong Chang hated and ignored it.
Ren Tianqi knew that he had misunderstood, so he got up and said with a smile:
"Murong Gongzi misunderstood. These two Wen and Tang are the two life-saving benefactors they met in the wandering world, and they are indeed the two righteous brothers in the next place; these two Bo Xi are two new friends in the next place, with similar interests, and they have been drinking and chatting together; the few women that the son saw yesterday are just fiancΓ©es and girls in the next place, and they are extremely ordinary and have nothing extraordinary. But the son is in the blessing, which is enviable. Gusu Murong, martial arts is a family of its own, long and prosperous in the rivers and lakes for a hundred years, the son was born without worrying about food and clothing, guests and friends all over the world, everything is done, everything is as desired. Even though the world has been turned upside down and the dynasty has changed, there are still droughts and floods to ensure income, and wealth will always be there, this is our dream that we can hope for but cannot seek! Why should the prince pursue our livelihood in order to survive in all kinds of difficulties!"
Murong Chang smiled bitterly:
"Brother Tianqi doesn't know, since some people envy the family of the emperor, the rich household, the clothes to stretch out, the food to open the mouth, it seems to be full of food, sit back and relax, that is idlers and inkmen, the old and the young, sick and disabled think; we have the ambition of the sky, practice martial arts, and want to get the big to stabilize the country, glorify the ancestors, and protect the wife and the young; the small is famous in the rivers and lakes, hoe violence and peace, save the poor and help the poor, and draw a lifetime of fame, a few good fates, and win the right results in the west, so it is not in vain to spend a life; but now the country is broken mountains and rivers, although the wealth is all over the world, and finally it is said that the nest family, behind closed doors, turbid between the female incense, visiting the famous rivers and beautiful waters, making friends and visiting cannot, but like the golden silk bird in the cage, even if it is good food and good food, but it also sighs that the life is not long, but it is like the people in the field, saying that they come out and do, say that they fall and rest, go to visit relatives and friends, but they are also free, and they are better than the wealth in this cage;
Ren Tianqi can also understand the bitterness of Murong Chang's hatred, and heard that although the Murong family has a great business and has not declined for a hundred years, it has been passed down from generation to generation, so the ancestors of the Murong family have set a rule: children and grandchildren are not allowed to step out of the Murong family until they are thirty, and they will definitely return to the villa after forty-five to cut themselves off from the rivers and lakes; But for hundreds of years, the Murong family has had many daughters and children, passed down from generation to generation, the family business has expanded, and the children and grandchildren have become more and more expensive, and it is even less common to have people walking around the rivers and lakes. Gusu Murong has also become a rumor in the rivers and lakes, and the Murong family's mastery of "returning his body with his way" has become an empty talk in the rivers and lakes. Murong Chang hated even more so, since he was born in his mother's womb, he must have been well cared for, but he was so restricted and his family education was strict. Ren Tianqi wanted to persuade a little, but he didn't know where to start.
Ximen Hongyun next to him couldn't listen to it, and he couldn't get used to Murong Chang's hatred of no one in his eyes, so he interjected disapprovingly: "I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes in Xia Su, Gusu Murong's family is as rich as the country, and the wealth of relatives and friends is all over the world, and it has long been isolated from the world, and the children of later generations have long ceased to practice martial arts, and only devote themselves to the succession of sweet wine and beauty.
Seeing that Ximen Hongyun's words were thorny, everyone frowned when they heard it, and they didn't think so, and Ren Tianqi shook his head even more.
Xiong Ziming's round eyes widened angrily. The old gang leader was also displeased.
Murong Chang hated but was not angry, he didn't look at Ximen Hongyun, and said with a smile: "What Brother Ximen said is half true, but it has failed the name of Lingzun's three-eyed Guanyin." My Murong Chang hates compatriots, and there is only one sister and one sister in the bloodline, both of whom have married into the official family, and Brother Ximen can't dream of it. I have not yet attained the truth of the Tao, and I dare not violate the rules of my ancestors at home; besides, although I am not proficient in what I have learned, I am also sure that if I win a lot over Brother Ximen, I will never disgrace my family!"
Murong Chang hated to drink the wine in the cup, put the cup on the table, and pressed it lightly with his left hand, and the cup was already in the wood.
Everyone was shocked, Tianyi Pavilion is famous in Yangzhou, the furnishings are exquisite, this dining table is made of 100-year-old mahogany, extremely hard. Murong Chang hated to see that he pressed it lightly, and the depth of his skill in this hand could be seen, which was extraordinary.
Murong Chang hated what was revealed was the Murong family's peerless Heavenly Silkworm Skill, Ren Tianqi also heard from his master Nangong Xiong, and now he saw that Murong Chang hated it quietly, and his power was really extraordinary, and he respected Murong Chang Hate in his heart. This Murong family's silkworm skill really deserves its reputation.
Murong Chang glanced at Ximen Hongyun hatefully, and said with a smile: "Brother Ximen and Zai Xia are both known as Qingtian Baiyun, and Brother Ximen often walks in the rivers and lakes, so he must look down on this hand under him if he is well-informed?"
Ximen Hongyun blushed and blushed, ashamed of himself.
Murong Chang hated Yangtian and laughed, arrogant, and saluted Ren Tianqi with a smile: "There are several people at the table, I can see that Brother Tianqi is deeply hidden. Brother Wen is confident, this Brother Tang is very fateful, he has seen a fool of himself in the small shop of the black pine forest, but he feels that Brother Tang has another strength, and swordsmanship and martial arts are secondary. β
Xiong Ziming whispered to Murong Chang's hateful ear. Murong Chang hated and smiled, saluted Tang Shengzhiyi, and said with a smile: "Offended, offended." The visit of the second master of the Tang Sect, the long-hatred was not recognized, and he was extremely ashamed, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
When everyone heard this, they all admired Murong Chang's speculation, and the essence of the Murong family's family learning was extraordinary, and they all laughed and said nothing.
Murong Chang hated and said with a smile: "It's a joke below, you don't have to care." I saw a worry between the eyebrows of a few people, and they must have something on their minds, there are still things in this world that Brother Tianqi and others are embarrassed about? Why doesn't Brother Tianqi show his hand a little?"
Murong Chang hated and pointed to the wine glass on the table.
Ren Tianqi saw that although Murong Changhate was arrogant, he was also open-minded, and he had already had the intention of making friends in his heart;
Ren Tianqi got up and said with a smile: "Let's try it next, I hope you don't want to laugh." β
Ren Tianqi pushed the chair forward slowly, slowly stretched out his hands and patted lightly on both sides of the wine glass, and turned around to take a seat.
Everyone saw that the table and cup were the same, and they were surprised, and they all looked back at Ren Tianqi waiting.
I saw Ren Tianqi smiling as before.
Murong Chang's face was full of puzzlement, and he stretched out his fingers and slashed into the wine glass, and the wine glass came out in response to the situation, bringing out Xu sawdust.
Murong Chang was shocked, stretched out his finger and touched the cup pit on the table, and the wood was as empty as ashes. Murong Chang hated his face like a death meeting, looked at the cup pit in a daze, and muttered in his mouth: "Phaseless Divine Skill, Guigumen's Phaseless Divine Skill." β
