Chapter Twenty-Three: The Past
The old beggar was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed and said, "You are talking about Zhou Jihuai of the Yunnan rudder, he was waiting for me at the gate of Lanxi City yesterday." You kid knows a lot of people, and you actually recognize these little flowers. Zhou Jihuai is nearly sixty years old, he actually called him "Little Flower", Lin Fengsheng secretly laughed, and told him about his acquaintance with several people in the teahouse in Lanxi City.
After hearing this, the old beggar took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "It seems that your kid has a relationship with our beggar gang, not only got acquainted with a few little flowers, but now he is staying with me, an old flower." Ha Luha, it's so funny. β
Lin Fengsheng said happily: "So you are Elder Mo?" The old beggar said: "I am always called Hua, my surname is Mo, my name is Mo Zheng, and I am not the same as I am talking and doing things." After speaking, he laughed.
Ruoxue interjected: "He likes to make friends on the rivers and lakes the most, and he is quite righteous for his friends." A few days ago, for the sake of the few little flowers you mentioned, I was locked up in the firewood room of the teahouse for a day and a night. After speaking, he grimaced at Lin Fengsheng and snickered.
The old beggar said "oh" and said, "Is there such a thing?" sit down and tell the old uncle slowly. β
A few people sat down in front of Mei Yunting's tomb, Lin Fengsheng went to the big stone where he was hiding just now and brought new wine, Mei Ruoxue said roughly what Lin Fengsheng was forbidden, although she only knew a rough idea, but she was articulate and had a crisp voice, and the good were better and the evil were more evil in her mouth.
Mo sighed: "You are a rich child, it is rare not to dislike us who want to eat and call flowers, and to commit yourself to making friends." I always ask the flowers to thank you for them. β
Lin Fengsheng said with a smile: "Elder Mo is polite, it is an honor to be able to get to know Elder Mo and several eldest brothers of the beggar gang. β
Mo said intently: "Hey, you are not a beggar disciple, what are you called an elder, I like this girl to call me old uncle." The personnel of this Shuramon is becoming more and more silent, and he has to reason with him when he meets the impermanent old turtle and the old flower. β
Mei Ruoxue grinned and said, "Yes, as the head of the sect, he can't restrain the disciples well, he is really a big old turtle." Several people laughed when they heard it.
Lin Fengsheng poured a glass of new wine, and asked Mo Zhishi to taste it, Mo Zhihe took a sip and shook his head and said: "The taste of this wine is too light, and I can't get used to it when I call it a flower." I have wine in my gourd, and you drink it yourself. He raised the wine gourd towards Mei Yunting's grave and said, "Brother Mei, I can't imagine that you are in such a hurry, alas, the world is unpredictable, this is really unimaginable." He raised his neck and drank a few sips of wine, and said: "A few months ago, I was shocked to learn of your untimely death, which really made Lao Zhaohua mourn. I was far away in Luoyang at the time, and I couldn't come to mourn in person, so I hope you won't be surprised. β
Chu Qingyun looked up to the sky and sighed, and said to himself: "This is called creation and making people, the damned are not dead, but the undeserving ones are dead." There was a lot of self-harm in his tone.
Lin Fengsheng poured a glass of wine and handed it over, and said: "The Buddha said, 'Love and parting, resentment and hatred, leaving the West and returning, nothing is the same', life is impermanent, impermanence is suffering, I only hope that my uncle will worship the Buddha in the lotus pond and ascend to bliss." People can't be resurrected after death, and Uncle Chu shouldn't be too sad. Chu Qingyun nodded, raised his head and drank the wine.
Mei Ruoxue said: "Does the old uncle also know Daddy?" Mo said insincerely: "Yes, we have known each other for more than ten years." The early death of the deceased is really deeply regretted by the old flower. Mei Ruoxue was sentimental and joyful.
Mo Zhen turned his head to Chu Qingyun and said, "Brother Chu, your three senior brothers have worked hard to avenge their teachers. What was the matter with you absconding back then, and your master was really so ridiculous and shameless? β
Chu Qingyun said: "Alas, the past is unbearable, since the seniors asked, let's talk about it below, so as not to let Miss Mei help me unclearly." β
Although Mo Yi has heard about this matter, all kinds of details are still suspicious, Lin Fengsheng and Mei Ruoxue don't know anything about this kind of martial arts past, so they listen attentively together.
Chu Qingyun said leisurely: "More than ten years ago, the old thief of Shangguan, that is, my master at that time, was defeated and lost in a competition with the chief of the Yandang Mountain West Pavilion, and he was very annoyed in his heart, so he made up his mind to practice martial arts diligently, and he was delusional about being ashamed. I don't know where to get a book of martial arts secrets, the old thief said that as long as you practice the above martial arts, you can defeat the Xiting Daoist. But there is a problem in practicing this divine skill, that is, after doing the exercise, you will be burned with desire, and what you need must be a yellow flower girl, so I asked our senior brothers to go down the mountain to find ......"
Mo Zhen slapped him the thigh and interrupted: "How can this Shangguan Lao'er be so ridiculous, how can he practice such a harmful martial art, he is really confused." Lin Fengsheng and Mei Ruoxue didn't do anything, when they heard what kind of lust they were burning, they needed a yellow flower girl, and they were so ashamed that they were red-faced.
Chu Qingyun coughed, and then said: "What the predecessor said was that he also had this in mind at that time. But since it was a matter related to the honor and disgrace of the master, it was inconvenient to try his best to dissuade them, thinking that as long as they didn't force or rob, they would give them some silver taels as compensation afterwards, so they cheekily went down the mountain to search. There are also many women who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of silver, and they don't care about their appearance, so I spent money to buy some women to go up the mountain. The other brothers also brought many young women up the mountain, but seeing that they were all crying, the means they obtained can be imagined. β
Mo Zhen couldn't help but sneer slightly when he heard this. Chu Qingyun also smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Although we brought a lot of women down the mountain this time, but practicing this kind of martial arts is not an overnight thing, these women can't use it again after using it once, we have to go down the mountain again to collect." But this kind of thing is ashamed of everyone, and who wants to be insulted in vain, and the matter becomes more and more difficult, and I only buy one or two women back at a time. The others brought back more women. The old thief thought that I was not trying my best, and was very dissatisfied with me, and scolded me severely. From now on, they will not tell me to come down the mountain......"
Lin Fengsheng interjected: "It's a good thing that he doesn't let you go down the mountain, and it can alleviate a lot of sins." β
Chu Qingyun nodded and said, "Yes, although I was scolded and looked at by the old thief from time to time on the mountain, I ended up with peace of mind. Later, when he went down the mountain again, Wu Zhong came back with a blue nose and swollen face, and he didn't bring a woman back. Later, I learned that Lu Dao was a senior who saw him do such an unscrupulous and immoral act, and punished him. β
Mo Ji Ha Lu said with a smile: "Yes, it's the old flower dry." When I saw him robbing the people's daughter, I grabbed him, asked several disciples to hang it, whipped it in turn, and splashed him with stinky dung. That's why he ran away when he saw me. β
A few people were shocked when they saw the three people of the Kunlun faction just now, and they all felt very strange, and they were relieved when they heard the reason, and they clapped their hands together.
Lin Fengsheng said in his heart: "The Kunlun faction is called chivalrous in vain, and it is really inferior to a beast to do such a thing that has lost all conscience. Mei Ruoxue also gritted her teeth, feeling like a traitor.
Chu Qingyun said again: "Later, the women they brought back became fewer and fewer, and the number of times the old thief performed his martial arts was greatly limited. He also sent a lot of men down the mountain. At this time, the people around Kunlun Mountain were already panicking, how could it be so easy to grab it again, and Wu Zhong was very scruples about their predecessors, so their actions were even more tied. A few people couldn't, so they had to get the brothel to pack some young Qinglou women to take back. The old thief was furious when he learned about it, killed those women one by one, and beat Wu Zhong and others hard. That night the old thief soaked himself in a large water tank, and no one was allowed to disturb him, but he could only hear him shouting as if he were killing a pig, which sounded very painful and unbearable, but it seemed that it was really true. β
Mo Zheng said: "This must be some kind of crooked and evil sect's kung fu, but Shangguan Lao'er, as a righteous person, should not practice this kind of dirty and lowly martial arts, not to mention that he has ruined so many women for no reason, there is nothing wrong with you killing him." β
Chu Qingyun said: "Although I was quite dissatisfied with the old thief's behavior at that time, I didn't dare to make a mistake. It wasn't until August 15 of that year that I picked up my fiancΓ©e Han to go up the mountain for the festival, and the old thief saw her at the family banquet, and when he saw her young and beautiful, he became ill-hearted. Since the old thief practiced that evil kung fu, he didn't know how many women he had played, and he had already become a desolate person, so he still remembered what kind of ethics and master-apprentice affection, and he stretched out his claws to my fiancΓ©e Han that night. β
When he said this, his body trembled slightly, he took a deep breath and said: "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, there was no moon in the sky, and the sky was dark and heavy with dark clouds. The old thief followed him all the way, and when I saw him, he said that it was a chance encounter, and he had no sense of defense at all, and respectfully stepped forward and called 'Master'. The old thief didn't answer, but he just laughed, and suddenly clapped his hands and attacked me, and I was caught off guard and unconscious. When Lin Fengsheng and Mei Ruoxue heard the thrill, they couldn't help but exclaim in unison, and they had already guessed seven or eight points about what happened next. But no one dared to speak, and listened silently.
