There are three taboos in walking the rivers and lakes, one taboo, two taboos, three taboos no money, taboo is to say that you must not be in the limelight when you go out, you must know that Mu Xiu will destroy it in the forest wind, there are many people in the world who died on this one, always think that they have so much ability to cross their eyebrows and cold eyes, I wish Lao Tzu was the first in the world, the strong are more strong, a mountain and a mountain high, this taboo is to say that you have something that is not pleasing to the eye, you know it in your heart, it is best not to show it, otherwise you will be burned at every turn, and the last one is the most important thing。

Now the three of them made a difficulty, the earlier entanglement on their bodies has been used almost clean in this month's tour of the mountains and waters, and they had to sell three white horses that accompanied them all the way in exchange for twenty taels of silver, and now they have been stolen by the out-and-out rangers, but how can it be good? I am afraid that even if the skin of the mouth is worn out, I will not be able to get the slightest benefit in other people's acres and three-points of land.

At present, at the border between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Western Chu, it is a desert, but it is not the desert where Sima Yun picked up Zhang Mingyue three years ago, and he is not familiar with the place and cannot starve to death, under Sima Yun's suggestion, Zhang Mingyue finally obeyed this street work, the three of them, the old man must not be able to do this kind of thing, otherwise if others know that the Spring and Autumn Sword God in the past was so poor, wouldn't it make the world laugh? Sima Yun can't do it either, a mouth that can say white is black, and he naturally started this thing to attract visitors, and only he is suitable to think about it, although he can't let go of it, but when he thinks of just staying here for half a day, he lets go of his hands and feet.

"Come on, come and see, take a look, don't look good, don't want money, look good, just give a little money, the first time you come to your place to beg for life, and I hope you friends will take care of you. ”

Sima Yun deserves to rely on a mouth to eat, although he is really a ruthless character, but compared to his martial arts, it is obvious that the kung fu in the mouth is superior.

Zhang Mingyue took the knife that was built in the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty for three taels of silver, the knife used before can no longer be used, and even the name that has accompanied the three years has been put on hold, Zhang Mingyue put a starting gesture, there is never a shortage of people in the world to watch the excitement, and soon gathered a group of local idle people under the shouting of the three outsiders, among which there are many people who go to the rivers and lakes, but I didn't see the down-and-out ranger, presumably he is hiding in a place where he doesn't know and secretly losing money, and the rivers and lakes are in an emergency, Lao Tzu gave you first aid, and the three of us have no food to eat, Zhang Mingyue couldn't help but scold a bad breath, If you wait until you arrive in Xichu Bianjing, you must find Princess Zhaoyang and pull out the kid and pick it up fiercely, Zhang Mingyue clenched the long knife, and if she couldn't afford to buy a gong, she could only dance, although she knew that this would definitely make the spectators lose a lot of interest, but she was helpless.

"Now let the kid play a set of my Northern Wei fast knife for all the uncles. ”

Zhang Mingyue arched his hand and danced the long knife directly, it was summer, the long knife flashed a little sharp under the scorching sun at noon, it was indeed a good skill, so there were really many spectators who were very bold in rewarding copper coins, and when they saw the money, Zhang Mingyue was as energetic as if they had beaten chicken blood, and they also forgot that the hunger in the stomach was the tiger and the tiger who danced with the long knife. The old sword god was napping obliquely under the eaves of someone else's roof with a sword box, clapping his hands from time to time to drive away annoying flies, Sima Yun was carrying a guzheng and clapped his hands and picked up the copper coins rewarded by those spectators, such a set of knives earned two or three hundred copper coins, but there will always be no shortage of people in this river and lake.

When Sima Yun leaned down and was about to pick up the five coins of broken silver, a thick and powerful leg had already stepped on the five coins of silver, Sima Yun couldn't help frowning, he didn't look up, but he also knew that this person must be born with a strong force.

"Brother, please let your legs go, you stepped on our money. ”

Sima Yun said softly.

"Your money? You say it's your money, but you tell me what it looks like. ”

The martial artist who stepped on the five coins of broken silver said disdainfully.

Zhang Mingyue stopped the knife and looked at this person a few times, there is no doubt that he should be a qi refiner, he said.

"This big brother, we just came to your land for the first time just to beg for food, you are doing this a little too much, the rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, where is the reason for the tiger's mouth to grab food?

The qi refiner really didn't expect that Zhang Mingyue would be able to make such a quick knife before he was crowned, otherwise he would not have been able to make all the onlookers applaud without the accompaniment of the gong, although he didn't want to admit it, but he was indeed red-eyed, not everyone who walked the rivers and lakes had a lot of money, and more of them still ate the last meal and didn't eat the next meal.

"The rules of the rivers and lakes? The rules of the rivers and lakes are that you must first worship the mountain gate when you enter my temple, and now the three of you don't worship the mountain or the temple, you want to make money from my territory? If you talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes, you can't take away any of the money here. ”

The Qi Refiner sneered, the five coins and broken silver under his shoes still did not let go, Sima Yun had not stood up on one knee for a long time, and there were more and more people around him who wanted to see how these three outsiders would deal with themselves when they encountered local bullies, and no one stepped forward to persuade them for a while.

The Qi Refiner continued.

"But I don't want others to say that I am a Western Chu person bullying the Northern Wei Dynasty, you can take the money here, but the premise is that there is a condition, that is, you must get me done first, don't you kid practice knives, you must know that there are also plain knives and martial arts knives, and the plain knives are self-dancing, and the martial arts are competing with me to see if your knife is a fake or a real means. ”

Zhang Mingyue didn't know what kind of plain knife and martial arts there were in the world, a knife was a knife, and practicing a knife was to kill people, and at the moment, this martial artist definitely didn't plan to let himself take away the money easily, but he didn't want to be in the limelight in this foreign country and set himself on fire, and he couldn't help but fall into a dilemma for a while.

"Whether it's a plain knife or a martial sword, it's just that we came back from playing with the sword for a long time, no matter whether Brother Tai really wants to compete with my brother, we should always accept this five dollars of silver first, right? ”

Sima Yun pinched his right hand to Nawufu's ankle.

"Brother, please move first, don't waste this silver that can feed people. ”

The Qi refiner is also famous in the local area, known as Wu Tu, his real name is Wu Santai, otherwise no one will dare to intercede with Sima Yun and the three of them, Wu Santai can also be regarded as a bully, and he has an unclear relationship with the border sergeant, and no one dares to mess with him locally, I heard that three outsiders came to the town to perform and rushed over to get up to this file, you must know that if it is replaced by ordinary people who see his five big and three thick size, they will feel weak in their hearts, but they didn't expect that this seemingly weak scholar in green shirt dared to pinch his ankles, it was really useless to be a scholar, I was afraid that anyone would dare to step on anyone's idea if he was stupid in readingThis Wu Santai immediately wanted to teach this scholar in green shirts a lesson, but found that the leg that was pressed was as heavy as lead, and he couldn't hold it at all.

"Do you want to take it away by yourself, or will I take it away for you?"

Wu Santai's face was shocked, and he was about to use his other leg to exert his strength, but he found that he didn't know when the other hand of the green-shirted scholar was also pressed on it, and he couldn't move at all.

"Brother Tai, teach him a lesson, let him understand that my Western Chu is not his Northern Wei Dynasty. ”

Onlookers at least seventy or eighty people are waiting for Wu Santai's move, and they naturally know the means of this bully at the border pass, there have been many people from other places who have been reckless by his methods, and they will inevitably end up urging menstruation and breaking bones, the power of this qi refiner lies in this, practicing a breath inside and practicing muscles and bones outside, and the swords and guns that have been trained by their own flesh and blood are invulnerable, and the ordinary weapons of Dacheng are not injured at all, and many sympathetic people are merciful to the three passers-by who came from other places。

Look at these three people again, a one-armed old man, a young man who is only a teenager, and a weak scholar in a green shirt, the old, weak, sick and disabled are probably such a combination.

When even if there is humanity again.

"Wu Tu, you are doing this a bit too much, others are just begging for a living, if you really want us to give you some more, it really won't be like this, now that Western Chu and Northern Wei are at the right time to fight the same enemy, how can this be the case? ”

Wu Santai was helpless, he only felt that the strength of the hands on his legs was getting stronger and stronger, how could he be a qi refiner as a qi refiner didn't know how much strength it would take to make a qi refiner feel pain with his physical strength, but now he was not only unable to move, but also felt that his legs were about to be pinched off.

Wu Santai's face was flushed and he endured the pain of this heart, but then the pain disappeared suddenly, the scholar in front of him patted his leg and signaled to take it away, Wu Santai's face was complicated, but in the end he obediently took away his leg, he knew that Sima Yun had given him a lot of face, so it was not good to humiliate himself, Sima Yun picked up the five coins and thanked him, Wu Santai was noncommittal, but Sima Yun immediately said.

"Today's thing is that the three of us don't understand the rules and mess up, this brother raised his noble hand and was willing to reward the three of me with a mouthful of food, we should definitely note this kindness, if this brother doesn't dislike it, the three of me haven't eaten for a day, how about four people get together at a table and have a drink?"

Wu Santai knew that he had invisibly saved face and won the favor of the people in the town, but in fact, he wanted to find out what the origin of the three people in front of him was, so he went to the restaurant with the three of them.

"Thank you for the mercy of this brother. ”

Wu Santai said quite embarrassedly, and when he entered the tavern, he scooped up his trousers and checked his ankles, which were red and swollen by the strength of Qianjun, even if he was stupid, he knew that he was merciful.

"Why did the three of you come from afar to my Xichu? My brother Taiding is not an unknown person from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and this old man, at a glance, he knows that he is a master, he must be an ordinary person, he will not come to my Xichu to find relatives. ”

Wu Santai wondered.

Zhang Mingyue said in his heart, how could this martial arts slaughter be so thick-faced, why didn't he say that he could see that the old man was a master when he was looking for trouble, but now he had completely forgotten what he had done before, but he also knew that Sima Yun was just unwilling to offend people, otherwise how could he order a table of wine and food so boldly with the degree of this old fox slamming the door?

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, but in fact, after only drinking two glasses of wine, I heard that the town suddenly panicked, when the shops on the street were closed, and the vendors who set up stalls also quickly closed their stalls, the originally somewhat lively town was empty, and the tavern shop Xiaoer also closed the door of the inn, and all the guests in the tavern changed their faces and ran towards the back door of the tavern.

Sima Yun couldn't help but ask what was going on, but Wu Santai said unhurriedly.

"What else can there be, isn't it just a gang of robbers who are active on this border, who come to loot once every ten days and half a month. It's made this border chicken uneasy. ”

"Robbers? There are bandits on the border, aren't there soldiers and horses guarding them?"

"Brother, you don't know this, this gang of robbers specially picked such a place on the border between the two countries to do this business, do you think, my soldiers and horses of Western Chu can't cross the border to the Northern Wei Dynasty, right? Otherwise, it won't become an initiative to stir up trouble? Your soldiers and horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty can't come to Western Chu at will, which has caused this phenomenon. ”

The man who was called Wu Tu told the story.

"There are also a few powerful masters in this group of robbers, and the soldiers in the army can't stop them, after all, this desert is so big, you must have seen it when you came, you go to arrest people, and people will scatter around and can't do anything about them, and they will become numb over time. ”

"If that's the case, why is this town so lively?

"The people in this town are all natives, and there is a way to return to their roots, if they have to do so, who wants to leave their hometown? In this way, we ordinary people came up with a method, that is, to dig a dense tunnel under this town, and the robbers will enter the tunnel as soon as they come, and then leave a little thing for them to snatch, enough for them to live for a while, and over time it has become a tacit understanding, and the people in the government have also turned a blind eye, and the robbers will naturally not kill innocents indiscriminately when they get benefits, and a balance has been reached. ”

"It's just that I heard that this bandit gang has changed a leader recently, and I heard that it is a master from your Northern Wei Dynasty, and the people in the town don't know if this leader can hide in the tunnel without killing innocents like the previous leader, and I haven't figured out this person's joy and anger for the time being, which is also the only way. ”

Wu Tu looked at the three of them with some disbelieving.

"The three of you must want to ask why I don't dodge in this case, right? You should also guess the reason for this, if the bandit gang wants to grow, it cannot be joined without fresh blood, and I am their target. ”

Wu Santai is still a little proud when he says this, which is understandable, and being named a master by anyone is enough to be proud.

"It's just a pity that they saw the wrong person. ”

Wu Santai drank a glass of spirits to himself.

"Although Lao Tzu is not a good person, the people in the town call me Wu Santai politely on weekdays, but how can I not know that people call me a martial arts slaughter behind my back, don't look at Lao Tzu who is particularly unpopular with the people on weekdays, but if something happens to the people, there is absolutely no reason to stand idly by, and ask me to be a robber, bah, his grandmother. ”

Having said this, Zhang Mingyue and the three of them have roughly understood, presumably there are very few outsiders in this town, and they are basically familiar people who are so united, and they have heard the horses' hooves passing by while talking, and the place where they pass is dusty and accompanied by a lot of laughter, and their chickens and dogs are screaming, but I really don't see robbers entering the house, burning and looting, such a strange story is really a bit unbelievable.

Perhaps no matter where in this world, a set of survival rules that belong to that place will be derived.

It's just that the four of them have not yet drunk when they hear a pig-killing wail from the street outside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, spare your life, Lao Tzu...... Uh, don't I just want to borrow some money from you?

This voice sounded extremely familiar, Zhang Mingyue walked slowly to the door and watched the situation outside from the gap, and saw a down-and-out ranger being tied up and dragged on a fast horse.

Zhang Mingyue almost burst out laughing.

What a retribution, haha.

At this time, this kid doesn't know where he was dragged to a broken shoe, and the clothes on his upper body have been dragged to tatters, and the sword that I don't know if I can pull out is also lost, and there are about twenty or thirty robbers on the street, but it is not as ruthless as ordinary robbers.

"This guy is so bold to steal money and steal it from a robber, and now he is asking for trouble to end up like this. ”

Zhang Mingyue glanced at a long knife stuck in the ground ten zhang in front of the down-and-out ranger, if he didn't expect that the crown ranger would be dragged to the knife and his body would be divided into two pieces.

"That guy only came to our town recently, and he does a lot of things on weekdays to be idle, stealing chickens and touching dogs, and it's even more ridiculous that he is still dreaming of becoming the world's number one swordsman at any time, and the girls in the town have been teased by this guy a lot, and now they are asking for trouble in such an end, so don't be nosy. ”

Wu Santai doesn't seem to want to see this down-and-out ranger named Gu Yue, which may be the reason why Wufu has always looked down on soft eggs, in fact, it is more that this guy is really a little annoying, he can peek at people and girls taking a bath, and he can cheat the copper plate of the old man who sells pancakes, but it is such a guy who is not sorry to die and still has a big dream of spring and autumn.

Wu Santai couldn't help but sneer.

"If the world's number one swordsman really has this virtue, it will really make people laugh and be generous. ”

"Oh, brother, tell me what kind of virtue the number one swordsman in the world should be?"

Sima Yun asked with interest.

"I can't say this well, I heard that there was a world's number one swordsman in the Central Plains of the Northern Wei Dynasty, wearing a green shirt and fighting the sword rivers and lakes, so that countless people in the world abandoned literature and martial arts, as if it was called Li something, although I have never seen it, but the world's number one should be like that, in short, you can do anything, but it is not the appearance of the stinky boy outside. ”

Zhang Mingyue said in her heart, your martial arts slaughter finally said a sentence that you listened to, but I didn't know that the world's number one swordsman you said was far away in front of him, Zhang Mingyue Sima Yun couldn't help but look at the old man's expression, but saw that the old man was finally not that ancient well without waves, but he never had a smug look, but there was infinite loneliness hidden in his brows.

The old man gently put down the wine glass, and the three-foot Qingfeng in the box behind him took two chopsticks at random before he could chime.

"The first in the world is nothing more than that bird-like, what is so strange, it is better to cherish those who have the dream of becoming the first in the world while there is still an opportunity. ”

Without waiting for Guan Wutu to question the ability of the one-armed little old man in front of him, the two chopsticks in the old man's hands had already shot out, breaking through the cypress door panel and heading straight towards the down-and-out ranger, one steadily shot the grass rope, and the other hit the long knife that was close to the ranger named Gu Yue, the long knife was knocked out by the chopsticks in pain, and then the three horses' legs were cut off before being nailed to a stubborn stone, Wu Santai's face was shocked.

Before the old man could make the next move, three horsemen kicked open the door of the tavern and went straight in, and immediately three of them had one eye and one ear, and the rest turned out to be a woman, this woman had a tattoo on her arm, most of her bare chest was beautiful, and her hands were looking at the only four people left in the tavern.

"Who?

Sima Yun has always been responsible for the communication between the three of them, although it was the old man who made the move, he also knew that the old man didn't like words, so he said directly.

"How much silver did the young man steal from you, we will compensate you, you can't take someone else's life for this, and being convenient with others is convenient for yourself, what does the girl think?"

"It's not a good idea. ”

The tattooed woman rode to the table with a full range of styles, and pointed the spear in her left hand directly at Sima Yun.

"You like to stand up for others so much, why don't you die for him?"

The woman sneered.

"That's not good, I'm still young and don't want to die. ”

Sima Yun pushed away the spear that was pointed at his head.

"The girl will sell us a face, this matter is settled, you should take what you should take, and you can't kill again. ”

"Give you face, what can you do for me to give you face?"

The woman slapped the horse's belly, the black horse raised its front hooves high, neighed and stepped straight to the wine table, Wu Santai had the foresight to avoid the side, the horse's front hooves were facing the waves, the old man was not alarmed, Sima Yun was not in a hurry, and slapped the wine table with one hand, the wine table moved flatly, and the right leg took a step back, under the horror of everyone, the green-shirted scholar who was holding the piano held the front legs of the two horses, and the next plate was forced, and the sturdy black horse flipped out directly in a neigh, and the woman with two guns was shocked, and quickly clicked the horse away, and at the same time, the two guns came straight to Sima Yun with the power of thunder, Sima Yun obliquely turned his upper body to avoid one of the spears, and held the other one directly in his right hand to exert force, the woman was caught off guard and was directly dragged by Sima Yun and fell into Sima Yun's arms.

Silence touched about two or three breaths, and the remaining two robbers rushed up, the old man was light in the wind, Zhang Mingyue quickly drew his knife in front of Sima Yun, the long knife with a soft groan, cut off the two horses and four hooves, the horse fell to the ground in pain, the two robbers also used this impact to come straight towards Zhang Mingyue, Zhang Mingyue slashed in the chest, the two robbers took three steps back, Zhang Mingyue took four steps back, the knife momentum rose again, Zhang Mingyue silently recited the one hundred and eight knives of heaven and earth, and muttered softly.

I am true with murderous intent, and this knife is better than silence.

Holding only a few taels of silver long knives, the young man slashed at the two robbers, and the two robbers immediately sacrificed weapons to defend, but the long knife that was not very good was actually slashed from the shoulders of the two as if it had entered a no-man's land, and instantly turned into two corpses.

The woman who was hugged by Sima Yun's waist and buckled couldn't move, and she couldn't do anything without two guns, she said angrily.

"You dare to kill?"

"Why don't you dare. ”

Zhang Mingyue tore off a piece of cloth from the robber's body and wiped the knife.

"I have already greeted you before, and it can be regarded as a salute before the soldiers, it is you who have to eat hard and not soft, we have saved that guy, if you don't want you to die, you can't let him die. ”

"You should know that there is a kind of person in this world who rarely comes to the rescue, but if he wants to save someone, no one can kill that person. ”

The woman's face was cold.

"You're going to regret it. ”

"There are many regrets in this life, not one or two things missing, let them go quickly. ”

After almost losing his life, the down-and-out ranger finally learned to be a little better, knowing that someone had saved him, so he entered the tavern with one foot in socks and shoes on the other, ready to take a look at the person who saved him, but he was dumbfounded from the moment he entered the door.

What a coincidence.

"Ah, it turns out that it was a few of you who saved Lao Tzu, I said, when I look at you, you are not ordinary people, and you are really the masters of the masters. Zhang Mingyue scoffed at this, and said in her heart that this guy can really have a fight with Sima Yun, and said with some unhappiness at the moment.

"Forget it about stealing us, even robbers dare to steal, you are really impatient, if it weren't for us today, I'm afraid you would have become a corpse, and you would be so unconscious. ”

"Whoa...... I said, brother, don't say it so badly, can that be called stealing? ”

The down-and-out ranger named Gu Yue took care of himself, and sat on the wine table without spilling a single bit of wine in that battle.

"So you're admitting that you stole the money?"

"Hmm......"

The ranger's face was flushed, and he said in his heart that he was an old man, why was he trapped by such a stunned young boy?

"It's all said that it's an emergency in the rivers and lakes, don't say it so ugly, it's not that you don't pay it back, by the way, you saw that girl just now, right?

The down-and-out ranger stuffed another piece of beef into his mouth, and then said vaguely.

"I don't lie to you, that girl's ass really feels good, stained, and it's really comfortable to touch. ”

Who knew that as soon as he finished saying this, Wu Santai's face changed instantly.

"What are you talking about? You're not stealing their money?"

"Not really. ”

The ranger scratched his greasy head for I don't know how long.

"Naturally, I borrowed a little bit of silver, and this girl's ass was also touched, not in vain, not in vain, after all, do you say this is the reason?"

Wu Santai's face was already gloomy, and it rained, and he was hysterical at the moment.

"You bastard killed our entire town, and Lao Tzu killed you. ”
