(Sorry!There was a power outage this morning, the update was late, and I apologize!)

Lin Yunrou shouted, Shao Yan immediately took a closer look, this is impossible, how can the Mangado gourd that he refined himself refine a three-legged black, wait, the three-legged black, not the legendary golden crow.

Shao Yan immediately pointed to the mouth of the gourd, and suddenly, the fire crow in the sky returned to its nest like a milk swallow, becoming smaller and throwing itself into the gourd, Lin Yunrou and Ji Xiangran watched from the side, Lin Yunrou asked curiously: "Sir, why does that fire crow have three legs?"

Shao Yan corrected with a smile: "That can't be considered a fire crow anymore, it should be a golden crow." ”

"Jin Wu?" Lin Yunrou frowned, she hadn't heard of it, and Ji Xiangran was also puzzled.

"It is said that there is a three-legged crow, its name is the golden crow, born with the essence of the sun, in ancient times, ten said to be horizontal, it is really the golden crow, I refine the crow gourd, it stands to reason that there will not be such a high-level species, what is the problem?" Shao Yan was also puzzled.

Shao Yan refined into a thousand crow gourd, it can be said that this place is over, put away the gourd, at this time, Zeng Yungui and the elders rushed one after another because of the fire crow, asked about the situation, Shao Yan took the opportunity to say goodbye to everyone.

When everyone was unable to stay, they sent Shao Yan's master and apprentice out for several miles, and then they said goodbye.

At this time, Jiangnan is in the spring of March, the spring is bright, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Along the way, the people in the south of the Yangtze River have lived a significantly richer and more stable life than in the north.

The mountains in the south of the Yangtze River that Shao Yan saw were much softer and more beautiful than those in the north, most of the mountains were not high, and the master and apprentice were not in a hurry.

There are many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, a canopy boat swings along the river to the south in the Xiushui River, the owner is a simple middle-aged man, shaking the oar, squeaking, Shao Yan and Lin Yunrou sit on the bow of the boat, while watching the scenery on both sides of the river, while chatting with the boatman's daughter, the boatgirl is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, with a good figure, probably on the river all the year round, exposed to the wind and sun, the skin is slightly dark, revealing the luster of youth, and the soft Jiangnan dialect reflects the gentleness of the Jiangnan water town.

Lin Yunrou is the first time to take a boat to enjoy, she is very excited, and she doesn't feel that she has a lot of words, and the boatman's daughter is picking vegetables while responding to Lin Yunrou, and she respects Shao Yan, a person dressed as a scholar, and the ship's father and daughter.

The destination of the boat is Xiushui Town, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River surrounded by mountains and rivers, Shao Yan occasionally interjected a few words, saw the two girls discussing the scenery on the river, arguing about what is the best place, and asked by the way: "What is the better scenery in Xiushui Town?"

The boatgirl said: "There is a drum tower in the town, which has been built for hundreds of years, and was built by some great official in the previous dynasty. There are quite a few people who go there to play. In addition, there are several mountains on the edge of the town, one of which is Nanping Mountain, which has excellent scenery, and people have always liked to go, but it is unfortunate that Mr. came to a big insect on the mountain, so don't go. ”

At this time, the owner of the rocking boat interjected: "Sir, be careful, there are three evils in Xiushui Town, don't mess with it." ”

Shao Yan became interested: "Boat family, what are the three evils?"

"One is the tiger on Nanping Mountain, has broken the lives of several good men; the second is that there is a river in the southwest of Xiushui Town, which is gathered by several mountains and streams, called Xiuping River, there are evil Jiao, and now no boat dares to pass through it; the third is a person, there is a scoundrel in Xiushui Town, called Zou Chu, a body of force, specializing in provocation and trouble, many people in the local and foreign places are beaten by it, no one can control it, but there is one point, although this person steals chickens and dogs, fights and makes trouble, but does not bully men and women, sir, if you meet this person, treat each other with good words, otherwise you will be beaten badly. "The boatman explained the three evils of Xiushui Town one by one.

The boatman was kind, and persuaded Shao Yan's master and apprentice many times along the way not to provoke these three evils, but if he looked at Lin Yunrou's eyes carefully, the boatman might understand that his thoughts were in vain, Shao Yan saw a look of eagerness in Lin Yunrou's eyes, and knew that she was starting to think about it.

Shao Yan didn't break it, continued to look at the scenery on both sides of the strait, felt the gentleness brought by the breeze, chatted with the boatman, talked about some short things in the family, Lin Yunrou listened to it, and constantly joined in, if there were outsiders, it was also fun to find that there were people on the boat.

After lunch on the boat, after a while, we arrived at Xiushui Town, the boat docked, Shao Yan paid the boat money, said goodbye to the boatman, and stepped ashore.

Xiushui Town is built by the river, the river passes directly through the town, the whole town is very tidy, the bluestone slab pavement, various shops and handicraft workshops on both sides of the street, in the south of the town, a three-storey drum tower towers, simple and generous, not far from an inn, the wine flag is written: the guest returns to the inn, Shao Yan asked for two upper rooms, after settling down, he and Lin Yunrou went to the town to take a turn, to see the customs and customs of the town.

The two of them turned around in the town leisurely, there was a sudden noise in front, the two looked at it, a big man, seven feet tall, dignified, dark-skinned, holding a big fist in a sand bowl, about to beat a person who looked like a vendor, the vendor was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Uncle Zou, you will spare the villain, the villain has no intention of offending your old man, the villain kowtowed to you." After saying that, he kowtowed. Shao Yan heard someone whisper: "I offended the most scourge of the three evils, Zou Bawang, it seems that this person is indispensable for a beating." "It turned out that this person was Zou Chu.

Zou Chu let go of his fist and shouted: "Grandma's, it turned out to be a sloppy egg, so don't ruin the fun!" raised his foot and kicked the underground person aside, "Get out! Don't ruin the uncle's fun." Lin Yunrou was just about to go over, but Shao Yan grabbed her and shook her head.

The vendor got up from the ground: "Thank you Uncle Zou for sparing the little one." "A puff of smoke is gone.

Zou Chu saw that the vendor had left, and looked around, everyone was afraid, and Shao Yan's master and apprentice were calm, staring at Shao Yan's face: "This scholar, I don't seem to have seen you in the town." The person next to him sighed secretly, this scholar is going to be unlucky.

Shao Yan's hand arched slightly, and he said with a calm expression: "If you go back to the strong man, in Xia Xu Hongzu traveled to study in all directions, passed through the treasure land, and heard the name of the strong man on the road, I saw it just now, and it was really a hero." Zou Chu laughed, extremely useful to these words, the person next to him nodded secretly, this scholar is an interesting person, say two good words, so as not to be beaten, much better than the businessman just now.

Who knew that Shao Yan's words changed: "However, I think that a strong man is not enough to be a hero, and it is a pity that he is a strong man." When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly rose again, and they secretly praised you, who knew that in the blink of an eye, you yourself want to find death, won't you honestly shut up?

Sure enough, Zou Chu's eyes widened suddenly: "Boy, what do you say, don't make it clear, uncle will loosen your muscles and bones with his fists." ”

Shao Yan was not afraid, and said in the same tone as usual: "I heard that there are two evils in the local area, one is the tiger on Nanping Mountain, which hurts people's lives, and the other is the evil Jiao in the Xiuping River, causing wind and waves, is there any?"

"Not bad. Zou Chu replied, and everyone nodded.

"As a big hero, in times of crisis, show the true colors of heroes, strong men dominate one side, but there are two evils around him, not to damage the reputation, in addition to these two evils, is a veritable hero. Shao Yan said this, and there were reasonable people next to him who heard Shao Yan's meaning and nodded frequently.

Zou Chu scratched his head: "That's what the scholar said, grandma, you guys usually call me brothers, why don't you remind me." He turned around and scolded a group of fox friends behind him.

This group of people looked at each other, and the people who understood had something in their hearts, and they were going to drill for you, but they didn't dare to say it, so they had to laugh again and again: "Brother Zou, we were negligent." ”

Zou Chu turned around: "Thank you scholar for waking up!Go, go buy a knife, this hero is going up the mountain to kill the tiger and go down to the river to kill the Jiao!" After speaking, he walked into a nearby blacksmith shop, and everyone followed again.

Shao Yan watched the showdown on the door, and wrote: Zhang's two words, knowing that it should be a blacksmith shop surnamed Zhang. Sure enough, I heard Zou Chu shouting: "Zhang Quan, you old boy, quickly take out the best steel knife in the shop, this hero wants to go up the mountain to kill the tiger and go down to the river to cut the Jiao!" Zhang Quan was startled when he heard Zou Chu's voice, Mom, why is this overlord here, and when he heard it again, he asked for a knife, so he hurriedly took out a few mouthfuls of knives in the store, and asked Zou Chu to pick them, Zou Chu picked a knife, Shao Yan looked at it, it should be said that it was a good knife, the whole body was made of iron, and the hard back was thin, and Zou Chu threw out half a penny.

"Uncle Zou, there's a lot of money!" Zhang Quan shouted.

"That's what this hero gave you. "Since he is already a big hero, he must be a hero, Zou Chu behaved like this.

After buying a knife, Zou Chu went straight to Nanping Mountain with a knife, and the brave ones followed from afar, and Shao Yan's master and apprentice also went with the brave people.

Seeing that there was no one next to her, Lin Yunrou looked at Shao Yan with a wicked smile and said, "Sir, you are so sinister." ”

Shao Yan shook his head: "Didn't you see Zou Chu's face? Is he a short-lived person?"

"That's right, he's not short-lived, and he seems to be rich and noble in physiognomy, he should be a general!"

"Yes, judging from his face, he will become a fierce general, and today, I am not framing him, but igniting him. ”

More than half an hour later, Zou Chu had entered the mountain to look for the tiger, the tiger was resting, Zou Chu couldn't find it for a while, Shao Yan decided to help him, his divine sense condensed into a needle, and the tiger's ass was pierced, the tiger suddenly roared wildly, and rushed out, this process made Lin Yunrou see clearly in her consciousness, glanced at Shao Yan, and muttered in her mouth: "Who said that Mr. is a good person!"

The tiger roared in the mountain, Zou Chu immediately ran over, everyone outside the mountain only heard the tiger roar again and again, the timid people's legs trembled, there was a meal, and finally stopped, everyone didn't know what the result was, and they didn't dare to go up the mountain to see.

After a long while, Zou Chu appeared in everyone's field of vision with a dead tiger on his back, his clothes were in tatters, and his body was stained with blood, I don't know if it was human blood or tiger blood. Shao Yan was not worried, because they saw the process clearly in their divine senses, and knew that Zou Chu had only suffered a few skin injuries.

When a group of people hugged Zou Chu back to the town, it immediately caused a sensation, and everyone came to see the tiger, and they all smacked their tongues. The mayor of the town and the well-known squire specially set up a few tables in Fumanlou, the largest restaurant in the town, specially invited Zou Chu, and at the same time accompanied some local celebrities, and specially invited Shao Yan, Shao Yan resigned, he knew that he was invited because of this strategy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, although his original intention was not so.

At the banquet, Zou Chu felt the glory of being a hero for the first time, for the first time in his life, so many celebrities paid tribute to him, even if it was on the surface, he was a little fluttering at that time, patting his chest and promising to go down to the river tomorrow. During the banquet, Zou Chu also asked Shao Yan, and the next person said that he had pleased, but he did not leave a paragraph to say that if Zou Chu was beheaded, he would go to the guest inn to find him if he was confused.

Everyone was a little curious about this person, because most of the people present did not know the reason, someone asked Shao Yan's identity, and one person said: "This person is a study tour, new to the local area, called Xu Hongzu." ”

"Is it him? By the way, does he have a beautiful female scribe by his side?" asked a well-known local Confucian scholar.

"There was a maid beside him, carrying a sword, very beautiful! Who was he?"

As soon as this Confucian man told Xu Xiake about it, everyone heard it, and they knew that the person who came was so famous, and agreed to visit Xu Xiake tomorrow.

The second said, holding a knife into the water, fighting with the evil Jiao, the evil Jiao or floating or not, in the Xiuping River, the waves surged, the Jiao roared like thunder, traveling dozens of miles, Zou Chu and the waves cut the waves, after a night and a night, there was no sound.

This said, the squire and celebrities in the town came to visit Shao Yan, Shao Yan treated him politely, when asked about the beheading, Shao Yan smiled, and then said: "I'll see you after three days." ”

The next time, forty miles downstream, on the shore of the evil Jiao floating corpse, Zou Chu disappeared, everyone in Xiushui Town celebrated, thinking that Zou Chu would die, and the three evils had been eliminated. Seeing this, Shao Yan just smiled.

After another while, when Zou Chu returned to Xiushui Town with a tired body, he heard that everyone thought he was dead and celebrated, only to realize that he was actually one of the three evils, and couldn't help but feel remorseful, remembering the rumors that the upper and lower people brought Shao Yan to the dinner party after killing the tiger, so he went straight to the inn, Lin Yunrou was waiting for him downstairs, and when he saw him, he said: "Mr. knows that you will come to him today, come up with me!" greeted Zou Chu upstairs to the guest room.

Zou Chu saw Shao Yan at this time, and after saluting respectfully, he told Shao Yan that he was confused, and wanted to correct it, but he didn't know how to change it. Shao Yan said: "The ancients heard that you can die at night, you are young, and a great hero, defending the country and protecting the people, you have a body of martial arts, why not join the army, you can protect the family and defend the country, achieve meritorious deeds, and be famous for future generations. The king of Jin in southern Xinjiang, guarding the border, is in need of warriors, why not vote for it!"

Zou Chu thanked him, a squire and celebrity in the town, heard that Zou Chu had changed his evil and returned to the right, and was going to join the army, so he also came to see him off, and even sent him to be entangled, Zou Chu thanked him and went south.

The old man in the town sighed: "Sir, you can make the prodigal son turn back!"
