Qi Yue Wuyi

It’s only April, and the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is already unbelievably hot. The big sun is hanging in the sky, and the travelers’ scalps are burning hot. They are looking for cool places to rest. The roads are empty, and even the soldiers guarding the city feel very Boring, a man suddenly appeared at the far end of the road. This man was riding a big chestnut horse slowly along the road. He was wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face, and he was wearing a well-tailored blue silk shirt. Embroidered with white wave patterns, he looks like a young man with a sword on his back, wrapped in black gauze.

He looked up at the three big characters "Haoyun City" on the city gate, then got off his horse and led the horse into the city. The sun was not small at noon, but it didn't prevent a few beggars from coming forward to ask for it. Thin and frail, even limping, when he saw him coming in, he surrounded him and muttered: "Master, please do me a favor, be pitiful..."

A pile of dilapidated bowls protruded under the boy's nose. The boy took a few steps back but couldn't escape the siege of several beggars. When he was in a dilemma, a hand stretched out and grabbed a boy's skinny wrist neatly.

"Begging is begging. Stealing from others is against gang rules. Which hall are you a member of? Don't you know the rules?" said a deep voice.

"Hmph! Fake dumb! You are the one who stole the most!" A few beggars blamed unhappily, then gave the young man an angry look, and then dispersed.

The young man turned around, saw the beggar who was hunched over in rags, and bowed to him: "Thank you, young hero, for your rescue."

The other party just glanced at him, then turned around and left. The young man sensed something was wrong, and pressed his back, his sword was gone!Going to look for the beggar again, he was nowhere to be seen, the young man stomped his feet anxiously, seeing those beggars still in the corner, he hurried over to ask.

"Little heroes, do you know where that person went just now?"

Seeing him come up to chat, several children said proudly: "He can go wherever he wants, how do we know?"

"Several little heroes, he stole something important to me. If you can help find it, I will be very grateful." The boy cupped his fists and said.

Several little beggars looked at each other: "We haven't eaten for several days, please invite us to have a meal first."

"That's not a problem."

Seeing him so easy to talk, several little beggars jumped up happily: "Come with us!"

They led the young man across the street and into a hotel decorated with western style. In front of the door was a wine cover with red background, yellow border and white characters, and the four big characters of Qingyun Restaurant were written on it.

Seeing a few beggars coming in, the waiter immediately came up to chase them away: "Why are you here again, there is nothing for you to eat here, go and go."

"Hey, what are you talking about! The masters are here for dinner today!" said an older man.

"Hey, interesting, how much did you ask for today? Do you want to buy steamed buns or buns?"

"I have a lot of money today, so bring me the most expensive thing you have here!" The older one was still showing off his power, and a few little guys had already occupied a table, looking like little monkeys on Monkey Mountain.

The boy said to Xiao Er: "They promised to help me find a dumb beggar, and this lunch at noon is my thank you gift to them."

"Mute beggar? This young man, you are looking for that fake dumb, why invite these little things to dinner? Where can they find them?" said the waiter.

"Hey why can't we find it?"

"Sun Ergou! Don't be so embarrassing, let me ask you, do you really dare to go to him?"

"Could it be that this dumb beggar has some background?"

"I don't know what background he has, but everyone in Haoyun City knows about it."

"Oh? I don't know if my brother is willing to talk to me?"

"Food, rice, you told us to invite us to dinner!" Sun Ergou saw that his meal was about to be served in a pot, so he patted the table anxiously. The boy glanced at him, smiled and said: "You first Serve some good food to these little guys."

"This...young man...they are used to cheating, eating and drinking, so why should you suffer such a clear loss?" Xiaoer said in a difficult way.

"It doesn't matter." The young man said with a smile, he walked over to those little fellows, "If you are free, you might as well come and sit with me, I want to hear how important this dumb beggar is. "

"I...I'm not suitable..." The waiter was a little moved.

The young man didn't care about it: "If the second brother dislikes it, I won't force it."

"Where is that, the young man is being polite." The waiter in the shop smiled, "The store is busy at the moment, if the young man does not dislike it, I will talk to the young man about these things after the young man is done."

Hearing this, Shaoxia asked to clean up, and Sun Ergou knocked on the table with two chopsticks: "Do you really want to hear about that guy?"

"you know?"

"Of course, everyone is in the same place. Who doesn't know, that guy is a [-]% weird person. It's okay to be weird."

"How do you say that?" The young man took the teapot and poured them tea, and Sun Ergou blew on the tea and said, "That guy came here three years ago, wearing coarse linen clothes, he can be embarrassed, I guess he is old, and his hair It’s all white, when we first came here, we went to the ruined temple where we lived, occupied our territory and beat us away!”

"How can he beat you at his age?" the young man asked.

Another younger child said, "He just grabbed a handful of rocks and just bounced them, and it hurt."

"It seems that this person has some martial arts." The boy continued to ask, "He let you sleep on the street?"

"No, this person is very strange, so he just occupied a side hall and didn't leave. We fought several times, but we couldn't beat him, so forget it. Anyway, the place is dirty, messy, rainy and leaky. This person lives there for three days. Year."

"He has been a beggar for the past three years?"

"He's not a beggar, he's a thief!" said a child, but Sun Ergou glared at him.

"Xia Kitty!"

"I'm sorry." The little girl named Xia Xiaomao shut up aggrievedly, and the boy looked at Sun Ergou curiously: "Unexpectedly, you are quite protective of him."

"Well, after he lived in the side hall, when he encountered big beggars bullying us, he helped us beat them away, and sometimes gave us food. In fact... people... are pretty good." Sun Er said the dog.

"But he steals, how could the beggar gang take in a thief?"

"He... just... steals once in a while..." A young man next to him said without confidence.

"He is a thief, he steals everything, and he is not a member of the beggar gang." Xia Xiaomao said boldly, "He ignored the big beggars who pulled him into the gang, and he didn't talk when he first came. , everyone thought he was dumb, but when he suddenly spoke, everyone knew that he was still a fake dumb."

"Is he walking on the street dressed as a beggar for the convenience of stealing?" the boy asked.

"No, no, he pretends to be a beggar and wanders around every day. He doesn't know what he's doing. He doesn't steal from people on the street, he only steals from people in shops." Sun Ergou said, "If you don't believe me, go ask Shopkeeper, he often comes here to steal things."

The shop waiter was serving the dishes, when he saw what they were saying, he interjected: "Yes, this man often comes to our shop to steal some loose silver. Our shop owner found someone to catch him, but...no one could find him. Later, people from the Jianghu were invited to set up an ambush in the store, but he was not caught."

"Is he so powerful?"

"He has good ears." Sun Ergou said.

"But you know where he lives, why don't you go and find him there?"

"Hey, you'll know when you go and have a look, we don't dare to go to that place..."

"Why?" The young man felt that something was wrong, "Why do you say that he has a fixed place to find him?"

"Usually, it is true that he cannot be found, and he will go back to his residence at night, but... not everyone can enter his residence. If he enters, he will be seriously injured or die. He has injured the thugs in the shop several times. There are so many scoundrels like this, the boss just ignores him." The waiter said.

"Is there no one in the world who comes out to eliminate harm for the people?"

"A little thief, with such good ears, runs away when he hears the wind. No one has the skill to squat on him every day." The waiter said, "I searched for it a few times, but nothing came of it, so let it go."

"So where can I go to find him?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to find it. As I said just now, he has very good ears," said the waiter.

"It's a good thing to try." The young man said, "Guys, I don't know where the ruined temple you are talking about is?"

"Under the old locust tree in the south of the city." Sun Ergou said, "I'm going to go by yourself, I won't mess with him."

"That's right, you have to go by yourself." A few children agreed, and Xia Xiaomao stood up: "I'll show you the way."

"Thank you." Shaoxia patted her head, and the other teenagers glanced at her without saying anything.

After dinner, Shaoxia led the horse and followed Xia Xiaomao to the ruined temple. Xia Xiaomao looked at his horse and asked curiously, "Young Xia, what's your name?"

"My name is Nanfeng."

"Where are you from?"

"Come from the rivers and lakes."

"Jianghu..." Kitty Xia bit her nails, "Is Jianghu fun?"

"I don't know if Jianghu is fun or not. My father said it was fun, but my mother said it wasn't fun." Nan Feng said, "But I think it's very fun."

"That's right." Xia Xiaomao giggled, "You must be very powerful. The class that came a while ago said they were Wudang disciples, and they are all as tall and handsome as you!"

"Really?" Nanfeng said with a smile, "You haven't seen my face, how do you know what I look like?"

"Your voice is so nice, you must be very beautiful." Xia Xiaomao said, "Ah, it's right in front." Xia Xiaomao pointed at the ruined temple, but stopped by herself. Nan Feng looked at her curiously, Xia Xiaomao The kitten avoided his gaze and said in a low voice, "It hurts him to beat someone."

"I see." Nanfeng patted her head, "Thank you very much today."

"En! You must deal with that big villain!" Xia Xiaomao clenched his fist, Nan Feng smiled: "Definitely."

After he finished speaking, he tied his horse to the doorpost at the door, walked into the temple, entered the dilapidated temple gate, and saw a piece of white paper pasted on the doorpost of the side hall, with a vigorous and powerful line written on it: Trespasser dies."

Nanfeng looked at the line of words, he came to the door, bowed inside and said, "I'm going down to Nanfeng, I don't know if your Excellency is here?"

The side hall was empty and there was no sound. Nanfeng asked again, but still got no response. He picked up a stone and threw it in. The stone fell on the ground and rolled around twice, and there was no movement again.

"What kind of mechanism do you think this kind of broken place will have?" A voice behind said, Nan Feng turned around, and saw the old beggar standing behind him, Nan Feng stretched out his hand to him: "Your Excellency, you can return the things to me." ?"

"Are you here to look for Yan Bai?" the beggar stared at him and asked.

"Exactly."

"Who asked you to come?"

"Sword God Tianyi."

"How did the Sword God entrust you, a young boy who is not doing business?" the other party asked.

"This has nothing to do with Your Excellency." Nanfeng became a little angry, and anyone who was underestimated would be angry. After hearing this, the beggar didn't respond, so he reached out and handed him the sword. Farewell."

"You can't find Yan Bai." The beggar said.

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?" Nan Feng asked.

"Do you know who Yan Bai is? How old is he? Where is he from? And why the sword god is looking for him?"

"Wind-chasing swordsman Yan Bai should be thirty this year, Hu Yang people, if you say why the sword god is looking for him..." Nan Feng was silent for a while, "Seeking revenge?"

"Is there any hatred that I can't find?" The beggar said with a smile, and the south wind stared at him angrily. died."

"Dead? Why did the sword god find a dead man!"

"Because of his strange death." The beggar said, "He lived in seclusion in the Liangshan Mountain, but his family was destroyed overnight and his body was burned. At that time, everyone thought he was dead. Send the sword to the Sword God."

"The sword never leaves the body. This sword should have been burned long ago." Nan Feng untied the black veil, and the sword under his hand was still smooth and sharp without any trace of being burned by fireworks. "This is wrong...could it be a fake?"

"This sword is Yan Bai's inseparable sword, the Chasing Wind Sword." The beggar said, "That's why the Sword God thinks that Yan Bai is not dead."

"In order to repay the justice of the past?"

"That group of people even dared to kill Yan Bai. I don't know who it is. In the early years, there was a sword god who took the lead in investigating Yan Bai's matter, but then it didn't work for some reason. Even those who had good friends with Yan Bai remained silent." The beggar said, "If you want to seek justice for Yan Bai, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky."

"A generation of famous swordsmen has ended up like this." Nan Feng squeezed the sword in his hand, "There must be justice in this matter."

The beggar turned to look at him, and suddenly laughed: "You are quite interesting." He stretched his neck and stretched his body, and Nan Feng was surprised to find that this man's stature was also considered tall and straight. He was actually half a head taller than himself. He took off his bamboo hat and dusted it off. Although his face was a bit dirty, it was quite handsome, and Nan Feng froze for a moment.

"If that's the case, why don't you bring me one?" The other party laughed like a gentleman, Nan Feng shook his head, hurriedly took off his bamboo hat, and clasped his fists and said, "I'm going down to Nanfeng, don't you know your name?"

"I still have some relationship with Yan Bai, and I'm chasing the wind in Xia Yan." The beggar calmly clasped his fists together, his flowing movements revealed a suave air, this man can also be called one of the rare beautiful men in the world, Nanfeng couldn't help swallowing.

Although he was wearing a ragged and dirty coarse linen clothes, he had a calm demeanor. Nanfeng looked at him from head to toe. Just as Sun Ergou said, this man's hair was all white, but he looked less than half a hundred, young. There may have been some magical encounters at that time, when Nanfeng was looking at his colleague, Yan Zhuifeng was also secretly looking at Nanfeng, Nanfeng is a traditional Jiangnan niche, handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and delicate skin like porcelain, as the saying goes A white cover all ugliness, not to mention that he is not ugly, he has just had the stature of a boy at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and there is an indisputable beauty in his body.

However, what Yan Zhuifeng paid attention to was not his appearance, but the pendant on his left ear. He stared at the pendant for a long time, until Nan Feng realized what he was doing, and felt guilty about the earring: "I don't know what the relationship between Brother Yan and Yan Bai is?"

"Ah...it's nothing, I just met once, hehe." Yan Zhuifeng suddenly came back to his senses, blinked, and scratched his head honestly, this silly movement made him less obvious The demeanor dissipated in an instant, but when Nan Feng looked again, he couldn't find the shadow at all, and frowned in confusion, did he see it wrong?

"What kind of relationship is just meeting once?"

"Meeting is fate. I once had the honor to drink and compose poems with Brother Yan in the chess building." Yan Zhuifeng said, "That was many years ago."

"I don't know what poem Brother Yan wrote?"

"I think about it. At that time, what I did seemed to be... the Piaomiao Temple outside Qingyun City. The pear blossoms in the Piaomiao Temple were late. It was like a spring breeze overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloomed."

"Wait, you can't catch up at all!" Nan Feng became angry, "And the last two lines are obviously Yongxue's famous lines!"

"Eh? Isn't there pear blossoms?" Yan Zhuifeng scratched his head, "It's strange, why didn't you write about pear blossoms when there were pear blossoms?"

"You..." This person has no literary talent at all...Nan Feng raised his forehead, "I don't know how Yan Bai replied to you?"

"Oh, Brother Yanbai's literary talent is better than mine." Yan Zhuifeng thought for a moment, "I remember what he did...the Zhaixing Pavilion in Chang'an City, with a pillar supporting the sky and the river of stars. Take September to the sky, go to the sea Catch fish and turtles."

"Wait, the number of words in the back is wrong!!!"

"Ah? One, two, three...God holds September..." Yan Zhuifeng started counting on his fingers seriously, "Ahahaha, it seems to be..."

"You..." These two people are so talented!Nanfeng raised his forehead, as expected, this person probably has never seen Yan Bai before... He is making up things here...

"It all happened a long time ago, and I can't remember clearly now, but I admire brother Yan Bai's literary talent, if I have the opportunity to recount it, I really wish for it..."

The corner of Nanfeng's mouth twitched, so you just say you want to meet famous people?And what kind of literary talent you are!Huangkou children can write better than you!But since the other party is a star-chaser, Nanfeng doesn't mind having someone with him, one more person is more of a force, and this person pretends to be stupid in front of him and doesn't know what he is planning, so it's safer to stay by his side and take care of him.

"I think so too. If Brother Yan doesn't mind, we might as well go together."

"Where does the young hero plan to go?" Yan Zhuifeng asked.

"En..." Nanfeng thought for a while and said, "Brother Yan mentioned Misty Temple just now, and there is no trace of us left or right. How about going back to the old place?" Let's talk about your lies first!

"Do you want to go to the Misty Temple? Well, now the pears are almost ripe, and the pears there are specially cultivated by the abbot, and they are especially delicious." Yan Zhuifeng became elated, "It's so good, it's so good."

Good for your size!Wait until I expose your lies and see if you can still laugh!Nan Feng was thinking furiously, Yan Zhuifeng didn't seem to pay attention at all, he just babbled about what's delicious and fun in Misty Temple, Nan Feng got impatient with his quarrel, bowed and said: "So we'll start tomorrow morning Let's go, Brother Yan might as well go back and clean up, and meet here tomorrow morning."

"Okay, okay." Yan Zhuifeng replied in a loud voice, "I don't know if Brother Nan has a place to stay? If you don't mind it, you can stay with me..."

Nan Feng curled his lips, thinking who would want to live in your crappy place, but still smiled and said: "No need, I already have a place to stay, Brother Yan, then we will see you tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he went out. Shrewd as Yan Zhuifeng, why didn't he see the little movement of his lips, and saw that he was running away quickly, afraid of being stopped by himself, he couldn't help but call Nanfeng to stop.

"Brother Nan stay here."

Sure enough, Nan Feng's body froze, and he turned around abruptly and asked, "I don't know what else is going on, Brother Yan?" You don't want to live with me, do you?No!I reject! !Nanfeng howled in his heart.

"Brother Nan is exhausted from running around all the way, so let's go back and rest early." Yan Zhuifeng said with a smile, Nanfeng almost exploded, if you didn't stop me, I would have walked back to the inn!But he still smiled and replied: "Thank you brother Yan for reminding me, then I will take a step first."

Yan Zhuifeng watched him walk out of the temple gate of the ruined temple, and then squatted down covering his stomach and laughed wildly. Why is this guy so funny? On the other side, Nanfeng led the horse, and when he heard Yan Zhuifeng's laughter, he realized Seeing that he was being tricked, his face turned black immediately, Xia Xiaomao had disappeared, and the bundle that was originally on the horse's back fell to the ground, and the things inside were scattered. A change of clothes, and a few purses containing jewels. He counted the number carefully and found that the silver in his silk bag was missing three ingots. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped the bag again, and raised his head. But seeing Yan Zhuifeng standing in front of him at some point, Nanfeng was so frightened that he let out a strange cry and threw away his bundle, Yan Zhuifeng raised his hand to catch it, and looked down at him.

"Is something missing?"

"You didn't take it?" Nan Feng snorted.

"I don't steal anything." Yan Zhuifeng handed him the bag, and Nanfeng grabbed it and hugged it in his arms, "You stole things from the store a lot!"

"I go out early in the morning and return home in the evening to help the farm workers nearby." Yan Zhuifeng said, "How can I steal something when I have time?"

"Did you steal anything from Qingyun Restaurant?" Nanfeng asked.

"I saw the signboard of their house when I was wandering in the street, but I never went inside." Yan Zhuifeng said, "What's the matter? Did they lose something?"

"They lost a lot of things." Nanfeng looked at him. Although this Yan Zhuifeng seemed very unreliable, he might not lie about this kind of thing. ... who could have stolen it?And why only steal silver taels?
