Fighting with fire shadow

Ximen Cheng raised his hands to Hong Qigong and said: "Junior, I really want to ask Qigong for help with something, and I am afraid that only Qigong can help with this matter. I would like to ask senior to be a matchmaker for Ronger and me, and accompany me. Go to Peach Blossom Island to propose marriage to the Lord of Huang Island."

"Propose marriage?"

Hong Qigong glanced at Huang Rong, who had a pretty face, and then looked at the extraordinary Ximen Cheng. He had to admit in his heart that this golden boy and girl were indeed very suitable, but he frowned and said, "Boy, what kind of marriage proposal is this? Isn't it appropriate for the old beggar to accompany you? Where are your elders?"

When Ximen Cheng heard this, he deliberately made a sad expression and said: "To be honest, my mentor passed away three years ago. I was also alone in the mountains and couldn't bear the loneliness, so I went to the rivers and lakes to play."

"Ugh……"

Seeing the sad expression on Ximen Cheng's face, Hong Qigong sighed and said, "He is also a poor child, so I'm sorry."

Ximen Cheng calmed down his "sadness" for a while, and then he implored Hong Qigong: "Qigong, Rong'er's father is tied with you in the Five Wonders, and King Chongyang of the Five Wonders has passed away long ago, Nan Emperor is a monk, and Xidu Tai It's too dangerous, so I can only ask you to be the matchmaker."

Ronger was working on it while the iron was hot: "Qi Gong, please promise Brother Cheng! Ronger is proficient in making thousands of kinds of delicacies. As long as you go to Peach Blossom Island with us, Ronger guarantees that you can eat different delicacies every day. "

"Forget it! Then the old beggar will accompany you for a walk!"

Faced with the temptation of delicious food, Hong Qigong was finally defeated and nodded in agreement.

"Great! Qi Gong, Brother Cheng, let's leave now. When we get to the town ahead, I'll cook you a table of delicious dishes to celebrate."

Hong Qigong smiled and joked: "I think you girl is in a hurry to get married. Why don't you coax the old beggar to propose marriage to Huang Laoxie?"

"Seventh Duke~"

"Hahaha……"

……

Ever since Hong Qigong agreed to be a matchmaker for Ximen Cheng and Huang Rong, the three of them had traveled all the way towards Peach Blossom Island, and more than a month had passed before they knew it.

Huang Rong is not only good at cooking various delicacies, but also has a clever and quirky personality, which is very lovable.

After this period of getting along, Hong Qigong also doted on Huang Rong as his own daughter. Even though he knew that this girl was deliberately trying to please him, he still willingly passed on "Xiaoyaoyou" and "Dog Beating Stick Technique" to him. Got her.

Huang Rong was originally planning to tease Hong Qigong so that he could teach Ximen Cheng the "Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon", but Ximen Cheng refused.

Because "Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon" is equivalent to Huang-level advanced fighting skills, Ximen Cheng does not intend to spend too much energy on this level of martial arts.

Moreover, "The Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" is a martial art of the highest strength and the highest yang. It has the same attributes as the physical skill of "Sakura Chong", so it is not cost-effective to practice.

During this more than a month, Ximen Cheng was not without gains. He would compete with Hong Qigong from time to time.

You must know that although Ximen Cheng has mastered several full-level skills, he has not fought many people and has very little actual combat experience. This is also one of his shortcomings.

However, under the guidance of Hong Qigong, Ximen Cheng's actual combat experience has soared rapidly, and it is not much different from those veteran martial arts masters.

The three of them visited mountains and rivers, enjoyed delicious food, and headed south along the canal. On this day, they came to the edge of Taihu Lake.

Taihu Lake borders three states, and all the water in the southeast belongs to it. It travels five hundred miles in a circle and was called the Five Lakes in ancient times.

The sky is long and the waves are far away. Everything is blue as far as the eye can see. The 72 green peaks stand upright among the [-] hectares of waves. It is a beautiful landscape.

"Brother Cheng, Qi Gong, can we take a boat trip to Taihu Lake?"

Looking at the vast lake in front of her, Huang Rong had the idea of ​​​​traveling to Taihu Lake in her heart, and said in a seductive tone: "It just so happens that Rong'er can make you three whites of Taihu Lake, crab meat lion head, peacock shrimp and crab, and crab oil crystal ball." , Fried crab noodles..."

When Hong Qigong heard Huang Rong's words, he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and quickly urged: "Let's go to Taihu Lake right now!"

"︿(￣︶￣)︿"

Seeing Hong Qigong's greedy look on the verge of drooling, Ximen Cheng couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. He quickly left the horses in a fishing village by the river, then rented a small boat and took them to swim in Taihu Lake.

Huang Rong was sitting on the bow of the fishing boat, preparing the food in front of her. She looked up at Ximen Cheng who was standing at the stern of the boat, showing her white teeth and smiling: "Brother Cheng, you look really good dressed like this." Looks like a fisherman’s, hee hee~”

Ximen Cheng held up the bamboo hat on his head and said, "Rong'er, I happen to know a song that is suitable for men and women to sing duet when swimming in the lake. I will sing it to you first, and then you can sing it with me, okay?"

"Yeah!\\(^o^)/~"

"Ah... ah...

ah... ah...

Beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake in March

Spring rain is like wine, willows are like smoke

For a long time to meet

Hard to hold hands

Ten years of repairing and crossing the same boat

A hundred years of cultivation and sleep together

If it is a thousand years, there is good fortune

White heads concentric in front of you

......"

Huang Rong inherited her mother's photographic memory. After simply listening to Ximen Cheng sing "Du Qing" once, she memorized the catchy lyrics and started singing duet with Ximen Cheng in the soft whisper unique to Jiangnan women.

The song "Du Qing" originally sung the story of Bai Niangzi and Xu Xian taking a boat trip on the West Lake. However, when Ximen Cheng changed "West Lake" in the lyrics to "Taihu Lake", the song became his Taking a boat ride on Taihu Lake with Huang Rong was a perfect fit for the occasion.

"Who is singing?"

At the same time, on the lake a few hundred meters away from Ximen Cheng and the others, a middle-aged man was sitting on a two-story boat fishing. After he heard the singing coming from the distance, he couldn't help but be curious: "This Although the melody of the song is a bit special, it sounds touching. Let’s pull the boat over and take a look.”

Hearing this, the fishermen in charge of rowing the boat quickly moved the boat towards Ximen Cheng's fishing boat.

When Lu Chengfeng saw clearly how Ximen Cheng and Huang Rong were dressed, he knew that these two people were no ordinary fishermen, but young heroes who traveled around the world. He clasped his fists at them and said, "I'm down here in Lu Chengfeng. The young heroes' singing attracted me, and I came uninvited. I hope you two young heroes will forgive me."

Ximen Cheng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter! Since we are destined to meet each other on Taihu Lake, it can be regarded as a fate. Why not invite Senior Lu on board for a drink!"

Lu Chengfeng said apologetically: "Thank you for your kindness, young heroes. However, Lu has a disease in his leg and cannot stand up. I would like to invite the two young heroes to my place for a drink!"

"In that case, let's not bother senior."

Huang Rong turned to greet Hong Qigong in the cabin: "Qigong, someone invites us to have a drink. If you don't come out, Brother Cheng and I will leave first."
