Chapter 178: Besieged Again
After walking aimlessly for five days and five nights, Zhu Ziliu changed from a graceful and elegant middle-aged scholar to a dirty, sloppy scholar who did not belong to his mind.
On this day, Zhu Ziliu walked in a daze in a mountain forest, he didn't know where he was going, and wanted to go back to find his master, but he was a little reluctant in his heart. While they were thinking wildly, they were confronted by strange people of all ages, armed with weapons of all kinds, arguing loudly with each other, but with accents that did not resemble those of the locals, nor of those of Middle-earth.
Zhu Ziliu didn't care about what they said, but raised his eyes and glanced at the group of strange people before planning to continue walking, and the group of strange people looked like a lost scholar, with a haggard expression, misty eyes, and staggering when he walked, as if he was going to fall down at any moment.
Several of them laughed and mocked a few words, Zhu Ziliu didn't hear it clearly at all, and secondly, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the provocations of these boring people in the rivers and lakes, and continued to walk forward with two steps and three steps; those people felt very bored when they saw Zhu Ziliu's reaction, and they sneered a few words again and then planned to do something.
Just when the two sides had passed by and were about to drift apart, "Huh?" Among the group of people, there was a middle-aged man with a short stature and a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, staring at Zhu Ziliu tightly, letting out a suspicious sound, rubbing his body and rushing towards Zhu Ziliu, a pair of steel claws in his hand "brush!" grabbed one to the shoulder and one to the waist. Zhu Ziliu was completely unprepared for the other party to make a sudden move, but the instinct that had been tempered by years of fighting in the rivers and lakes made him react when the evil wind suddenly rose, and with a shake of his shoulder, the whole person jumped forward more than a foot, and turned his head to look at the short man who attacked him suspiciously.
"Hey, second bear, don't make any extraneous branches. We're still going to get things done!" said another stout man, expressing his displeasure in a rough voice.
"An Dong Lord, don't be so boring! During this time, everyone is either in a hurry or searching, everyone is very tired! The bear cave master is also forgivable to find something to relieve his boredom! The bear cave master doesn't care about An Dong master, let's support you as a husband and wife!" A half-aged with a face full of flesh and a crutch in her hand spoke, and a slightly older man stood next to her. He didn't speak, holding a staff in his hand.
"Hehe! Since the virtuous couple said so, then I have nothing to say!" The big man who was called the Lord of Andong was obviously very jealous of the "crutch couple", and he smiled and then did not speak.
"Hey, hey, the second bear is here to thank the "dragon crutch snake cane" and the virtuous couple for their righteous words!", the short man politely thanked him, and looked closely at the dragon head crutch in the hands of the half-old. The man was holding a snake-headed staff.
"However, my shot is not boring, you may not recognize it, this is Zhu Ziliu, a scholar among the four disciples of the Southern Emperor Yilan Master "Fishing Wood Cultivation Reading"!" The dwarf cave master surnamed Xiong said proudly, "Xiao is not talented." A few years ago, I saw the appearance of this Zhu Ziliu from afar, but at that time he was dressed as an elegant scholar, but I didn't expect to be so sloppy today, so I didn't recognize it for a while!"
"What? He is Zhu Ziliu among the four disciples of Master Yideng? Are you crazy with a broken heart? Since you know him, why are you provoking him? We can afford to provoke such a behemoth there!" The other big man, who was a little stupid at first glance, was shocked when he heard this, and immediately shouted and shouted.
As soon as he shouted like this, there were indeed two or three people who were still smiling and waiting to see the excitement, and the eyes of the people who were waiting to see the excitement immediately flashed with fear on their faces, while the Cave Lord and the "Dragon Snake Staff" had a gleam in their eyes and looked slightly excited, and the other people didn't seem to have reacted yet. Just quietly watching the situation develop. ...
"Hehe, don't you know the relationship between the person we are looking for and the Duan family in Dali? Didn't that person go all the way south to take refuge in Dali and seek refuge? Now that I have met Zhu Ziliu here, it is very likely that he came for that person. And looking at Zhu Ziliu's appearance, it seems that he is not in the right state, so let's just work together to take it down. Isn't it convenient to act in the future?" the short man said, his eyes rolled to analyze.
When the other people heard this, their eyes immediately lit up, and there was a different meaning in their eyes when they looked at Zhu Ziliu, and the stupid man who spoke out before was still a little hesitant: "We can't afford to provoke Master Yideng! How can we bear his anger if we retaliate afterwards!"
"Call you stupid, you're so stupid! If we can catch this Zhu Ziliu, we will naturally not stay alive, and who will know that we did it when the time comes; if we can't catch it, we will run away at most! It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that after Master Yideng became a monk, he was compassionate. His apprentice is not dead, and he will not deal with a little person like us at all. The short man said with a spit flying.
After hearing this, the other few people who were still hesitating also felt very reasonable, and nodded frequently in approval. Seeing this, the half-old said: "As the saying goes, wealth is in danger." You have to know how much benefit we can get from catching that person, and you don't have to hide your head and show your tail to be afraid of this and that!"
Stimulated by the short man and the half-old Xu Nian singing and harmonizing, the crowd was excited, and they couldn't help but surround Zhu Ziliu, who was standing aside and didn't leave. "Hehe, scholar Zhu Ziliu, I didn't recognize the wrong person when Zhu Daxia was young!" the short man asked with a sly smile.
"What's the matter with you?" Zhu Ziliu's confused eyes gradually focused on the short man's sinister face, and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Hehe, it's not a big deal, it's just that there is something I want to inquire about with you, I hope you can make it convenient, but you have a reputation and strong martial arts, and the brothers can only wronged you and offend!" After saying that, he glanced at the people around him, and attacked Zhu Ziliu together.
In an instant, many weapons such as big swords, long swords, steel claws, dragon head crutches, snake head staffs, etc., attacked Zhu Ziliu one after another; Zhu Ziliu did not answer, took out the judge's pen on his waist to block left and right, and fought with those people.
And Zhu Ziliu unconsciously wrote in the air the "Yanqiu Ci" that Li Mochou had been asking about the first yuan, "What is the love in the world, and the direct teaching promises life and death." There are double flyers in the south and the north, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times. Happy and fun, parting bitter, there are even more crazy children. You should have a saying, thousands of miles of stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, only the shadow to whom......"
Zhu Ziliu wrote this poem in wild cursive, and it seemed that the more he wrote, the more he could slowly understand the sorrow in Li Mochou's heart! Unconsciously, sorrow rose from his heart, and he chanted in a low voice in a miserable voice, experiencing the taste. (To be continued)
