Love in Suzhou
Chapter 10
Yutang and Baifu, master and servant, went to play the next day after they arrived in Yangzhou. They bought two more horses for their legs and played for seven or eight days.
One day, Bai Yutang asked Bai Fu to go to the Yuelai Inn to settle the bill, and then went to stay at the Yuanlai Inn near the Slender West Lake, and had a good time here by the way.Bai Yutang walked to the 24th bridge alone, and was about to look around, but saw a familiar figure standing on the 24th bridge, as if waiting for someone.He remembered that person, Han Zhang who rescued Sun Wenjing together outside the city gate.Bai Yutang has always wanted to get acquainted with this person, because his kung fu is so strange, how he got out of the ground is really unimaginable, it is really fate to meet him today.Just as he was about to walk over to say hello, he suddenly heard a "plop--" behind him, and someone fell into the water.He immediately turned around to look, which also attracted Han Zhang's attention.
Bai Yutang jumped into the water without saying a word, but when he got into the water, he realized that he didn't know water skills and pretended to be a hero to save people. This was the end of the game, and he had no other choice but to die! He felt like he had drunk too much Drooling, and then lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he found himself wobbly, with a feeling of wanting to vomit. He looked around, but couldn't find a place to vomit, so he rushed out. It turned out that he was on a boat. He walked to the bow Spit up.
After a while, only one person said: "Drink some water and rinse your mouth."
After seeing a glass of water, Bai Yutang took the glass and said, "Thank you." After drinking the water, he felt a little better, and he turned around to see the person delivering the water.
I saw a boy who was similar in height and age to me. He was wearing a dark red cloak and there were water drops in his hair. He knew that the other party had just come out of the water before he could wipe off the water drops on his head, so he said : "Thank you, brother, for saving my life."
"Easy to do..."
He was about to say more when a servant came over and handed him a towel, "Master, dry your hair first, so you don't catch a cold."
The man took the towel and waved to the servant, and the servant went down. While wiping his hair, he said to Bai Yutang, "My surname is Jiang Mingping, my name is Zechang, and I'm from Jinling."
"My younger brother's surname is Bai, his name is Yutang, his courtesy name is Yanze, and his ancestral home is Jinhua, Zhejiang." Seeing the other party's self-reported name, Yutang also mentioned his native place.
"Since Brother Bai is not used to boating, please wait outside and land right away." Jiang Ping didn't ask him why he fell into the water, after all he knew that it is not appropriate to talk too much when seasick, let alone the other party still fell into the water?What can't you think about when you are young, as for throwing yourself into the lake?He didn't know that the other party was saving someone, but he knew that he couldn't swim and jumped into the water to save someone. It was a rare sacrifice to save someone.
After a while, after landing on the shore, Jiang Ping gave instructions to his servants, and then said to Bai Yutang: "The small courtyard in Yangzhou is nearby. If Brother Bai doesn't mind, go there and rest for a while before going back."
"Thank you, Brother Jiang, but I'll bother you little brother." Bai Yutang didn't refuse, after all, he was still suffering from seasickness, and he didn't know when he found Bai Fu, so he didn't want to be polite to him.After a while, Jiang Ping helped Bai Yutang to a courtyard, but Bai Yutang was still not feeling well.
When I arrived at the living room, I heard someone outside the door say: "Brother Jiang Xian, you should be at home, so it will be easier for you to find me!"
Jiang Ping helped Bai Yutang to the seat, and then saw the person coming.
I saw a person coming from outside. Bai Yutang saw it. It turned out to be Han Zhang on the 24th Bridge.
Jiang Ping said: "Brother Han, I'm sorry, my younger brother missed the appointment."
When Han Zhang came in, he saw Bai Yutang, and said, "Brother Bai, why are you at Jiang's house?" Seeing that Bai Yutang was dripping wet, he said, "So you can't swim, and I'm still wondering if you went into the water." Rescue people, the rescued person was washed ashore by the water, why didn't you come up by yourself?"
"Brother Han laughed." Bai Yutang said awkwardly.
Jiang Ping suddenly realized that Bai Yutang was saving people. Hehe, I didn’t expect that! He said, “Brother Bai, I think you are about the same size as me. Catch a cold!" As he spoke, he saw a servant taking a set of white clothes.
Bai Yutang took the clothes and went to the guest room to change. The clothes fit just right, and he combed his hair again before coming out.At this time, Bai Yutang bowed to the two of them and said, "I'm really sorry for keeping the two brothers waiting for so long. Why don't I let the younger brother invite the two of you, firstly to express my gratitude to Brother Jiang, and secondly to let the younger brother get close to both of you." My dear friend."
"Since we're in the humble house, how can we invite Brother Bai to treat you? How about having a drink with everyone in the humble house tonight?" Jiang Ping is also generous, because he just heard Han Zhang talk about the scene when he met Bai Yutang, and he also wanted to get close to him , so he should be left alone.
"This……"
"Brother Bai, don't refuse. It's not too late to invite you next time we meet." Han Zhang also helped.
"Then my younger brother, I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Bai Yutang couldn't refuse, so he stayed and chatted with Han and Jiang. Who knew that the three of them chatted more and more speculatively, until they were thirty after drinking, and slept at Jiang's house. down.The next day, the three of them went for a stroll around Yangzhou City, because Han Zhang and Jiang Ping still had something to do, so Bai Yutang bid farewell for them at Yuanlai Inn, and reluctantly parted.
The next day, Bai Yutang took Bai Fu to visit the Slender West Lake, but ran into Lin Yun and Xiao Luzi again.Lin Yun took them to enjoy the beautiful scenery around the Slender West Lake.
They walked along the winding lake road, and the long dike spring willows on both sides pulled out their long silk ribbons and danced in the wind. The planting of peaches and willows made Yangzhou more beautiful in March. The willows danced and the peach petals followed the willows. Every now and then, as the saying goes, "The spring warbler flies into the peach blossom rain, and the swallows hold the mud in front of the willow embankment. Where does a silver sail go? The West Lake is sent to the west of Guangling."
There is a pool of green lotus in Xu Garden, and the round lotus leaves are sprinkled all over the clear pool. The rocks in the garden have their own characteristics, and it seems that you can hear the singing of orioles.
Looking at the Wuting Bridge from a distance, it looks like a ribbon tied on the Slender West Lake. Five small pavilions are built on the lake, as beautiful as a graceful girl!
Then the four of them went to Daming Temple, an ancient temple built in the reign of Liu Song and Daming Dynasty.
Originally wanted to go to Tianning Temple again, but it was too late. Lin Yun said that he would go to Hangzhou the next day, so he didn't accompany them again.Because there is also a Tianning Temple in Changzhou, Bai Yutang also wanted to see the difference, so he delayed for an extra day.The next day, Bai Yutang's master and servant decided to go to Hangzhou as well. Anyway, going anywhere was for fun, so the two also went to Hangzhou.This trip to Hangzhou gave Bai Yutang the title of the unique Chinchilla in the rivers and lakes, hehe...
Hangzhou was originally a beautiful city, and it was already April when Bai Yutang's master and servant arrived in Hangzhou.
They found an inn by the West Lake, also called "Yuanlai Inn", Bai Fu said strangely: "There is also a Yuanlai inn here, young master."
"This Yuanlai Inn is really not small. There are both Yangzhou and Hangzhou, as well as Suzhou. Then we can live in this Yuanlai Inn." Bai Yutang remembers the first time he went to Suzhou and stayed at the Yuanlai Inn with his master. Last year I couldn't find it in Suzhou, so I stayed in Yanhuilai. It seems that he and this Yuanlai Inn are really destined.So they lived here, and Xiao Er led them to the guest room of Ren Zi Jiu on the second floor. They simply packed their bags, and the master and servant went downstairs to eat.Unexpectedly, just after ordering, I heard two people talking on the opposite table.
One person said: "Brother Lu, that monk from Tianling Temple is too disgusting, I must teach him a lesson tonight."
"Brother Xu Xian, Brother Yiwei will discuss this matter after we see it." The other one buried his head in his meal after finishing speaking.
Bai Yutang looked at them, he knew these two people, they were the other two people outside Yangzhou city that day: one had a weird lightness skill, but was as light as a swallow, flexible and flexible; the other had boundless strength.He originally wanted to go to say hello, but when he thought of Tianling Temple, he thought: They must go there tonight, why not go there and see you later.I just lowered my head and started eating. In the afternoon, I went out to visit the West Lake with Bai Fu. It turned out that Tianling Temple was near the West Lake. Because Lingyin Temple was relatively prosperous, other temples around it seemed deserted. However, Tianling Temple not only Small, and not many monks.Because it was receiving guests during the day, the gate of the temple was open. The master and servant of Baiyutang went in and pretended to offer incense, and then looked at the terrain.
The main hall is the Daxiong Hall, behind it is a small courtyard composed of the Hall of Compassion and Peace and the Hall of Xiangyun, and behind it is the Tianlingyuan. Needless to say, Tianlingyuan is the place where the monks live.There is a small corner door on the right side of Tianlingyuan, and the word "Heyuan" is written on the corner door, and the corner door is locked.
Bai Yutang and Bai Fu walked over, pushed the corner door, and saw that there were layers of rockery, jagged rocks, small bridges and flowing water inside. It was a wonder, but it was a pity that the corner door was closed.
A monk came over and said, "Teachers, this is a forbidden area. Please visit other places."
Bai Fu was about to say something, but Bai Yutang said, "Okay, we'll leave now." After speaking, he took Bai Fu to another place, and returned to Yuanlai Inn after shopping.
When the willows were on the moon, Bai Yutang changed into night clothes, and came straight to Tianling Temple with his Huaying Sword.Suddenly a black shadow flashed past, which attracted Bai Yutang's attention, and Bai Yutang quietly followed behind him.I saw the black shadow enter the Tianlingyuan, flew directly to the roof, and then jumped into the lotus garden. Bai Yutang wanted to jump down, but saw another black shadow jumping down too. The second man in black asked the first One: "Are you sure you see this?"
The first man in black said, "That's right, Miss Huang is right here."
Then the two of them walked around the rocks one after the other and entered a small cave.
Just as Bai Yutang was about to jump off, he was held back by a man, who was also a man in black, and Bai Yutang asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"
"The monks of Tianling Temple set a trap inside, we should be careful." The man replied.
"How did you know?"
"This morning, Jiannei and Xiaomei were captured by the monks of Tianling Temple. After dinner, I wanted to find out. I found that there were still a few women inside. I tried to rescue them, but I almost got caught, so I had to leave first. .”
Bai Yutang nodded and said, "May I ask what your name is?"
"Lu Fang."
"Brother Lu, sister-in-law and the others are in the second room on the left. This is..." Another man in black came from behind, and after speaking to Lu Fang, he looked at Bai Yutang strangely.
"Little brother Bai Yutang, what is the name of this brother?" Bai Yutang said.
"I'm Xu Qing."
"Is there anything I can do for my little brother?" Bai Yutang said.
"If you don't mind, brother, you can help us guard outside, and my two brothers will go down to save people." Lu Fang was not polite.
"Okay, my little brother will be guarding at the gate of the lotus garden, and will never let a monk in." Bai Yutang also knew.
"Thank you, brother." After Lu Fang finished speaking, he took Xu Qing down.
As soon as they went down, they saw a monk secretly unlocking the lotus garden. Bai Yutang clicked his Ya acupuncture point at the door and took him up to the roof. Then he unlocked the acupuncture point, pointed his sword at his throat and said: " How many women are imprisoned in the lotus garden?" The monk didn't speak, but Bai Yutang swung his sword and cut off one of his fingers and asked, "Should you tell me?"
"Seven." The monk didn't dare to shout out in pain, he knew this man was cruel and had to tell the truth.
"How many monks are there in the monastery?"
"28."
"How was the trap set?"
"Young monk... I don't know, little monk."
Bai Yutang was about to cut again, but he heard someone say: "Jingxiu, why don't you close the door?" Then he saw three monks enter the lotus garden, Bai Yutang swung his sword at the monk and killed the young monk .
He saw three monks walking to the entrance of the rockery, so he jumped down and killed two monks, tapped one monk's acupuncture point and asked, "How did you set up the trap?"
"There is...in the master's room."
"What are you doing here?"
"Master said that someone touched the mechanism, and asked the little monk to come and check."
"Take me to your master." Bai Yutang threatened him.
A man in black came out and cursed, "Look, if I don't kill those stinky monks, I dare to set up a trap." Seeing someone pointing a sword at a monk, he bowed to Bai Yutang and said: " It turns out that we have helpers, what do you call Xiongtai?"
"Little brother Bai Yutang."
"But Jinhua's Baiyu cousin?" the man asked in surprise.
"Are you..." Bai Yutang was also surprised, so he asked.
"Jiang Ping in Jinling."
"It's Brother Jiang, it's the younger brother." Bai Yutang replied.
"Great, the one inside is Brother Han Zhang, he was caught by a trap, and my younger brother is going to kill those monks!" Jiang Ping said excitedly when he heard that it was Bai Yutang.
"Okay, younger brother will go with elder brother." Bai Yutang asked that monk to lead the way to Tianlingyuan, but another monk saw him and shouted. At this time, more than [-] monks came out. Bai Yutang and Jiang Ping Bian fought with them.After a while, three more people joined the battle. The two men in black were Lu Fang and Xu Qing, and there was a woman who should be Lu Fang's wife.Soon these five people killed more than [-] monks. Madam Lu suddenly saw a monk in his forties heading towards the little girl next to him. She threw the sword in her hand and killed the monk. Guo ran over and pulled the little girl and asked, "Xin'er, are you alright?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." The little girl was not afraid at all.
Bai Yutang retracted his sword and said to Lu Fang: "Brother Lu, there is still a brother and several women who have not been rescued."
"Okay, let's go save people." Lu Fang said to Xu Qing: "Brother Xu Xian, I will trouble you for your trouble, we will come as soon as we go."
"Brother Lu, don't worry, I will take good care of my wife." Xu Qing was also generous, watching the three of them go.After a while, they rescued Han Zhang and five other women, and arranged the women.After everyone took off their masks, Lu Fang was surprised when he saw Han Zhang and Bai Yutang, and then smiled and said, "So it's you."
Xu Qing didn't think about it for a while, so he said, "Brother Lu, do you know them?"
"We fought off bandits outside Yangzhou city together." Lu Fang explained.
Xu Qing said with a smile: "I didn't think about it for a while, it was really the two of them, the white-clothed boy fought against the crowd, and this brother's unexpected appearance frightened the bandits, ha ha!"
Han Zhang bowed to them and said: "Han Zhang in Xiahuangzhou, named Zejing, is in the business of escort agency."
"In Xiasongjiang, Lu Fang, whose name is Zegong, makes a living by fishing. This is Xu Qing from Shanxi, whose name is Zelian, who is a blacksmith."
"Jiang Ping, whose name is Ze Chang, runs many shops." Jiang Ping also saluted.
"Bai Yutang of Jinhua, courtesy name Zeyan, is from Jianghu." Bai Yutang was not lost.
"It's so strange, you all have the word 'Ze' in your characters!" said the girl named Xin'er.
At this time, everyone realized that they were so destined, and the five looked at each other, and then laughed.
Lu Fang said heartily: "Since there is such a fate, why don't we take advantage of the Buddha's fate in Tianling Temple to worship as brothers with different surnames?"
"Okay." "Okay!" The other four agreed.
Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "You go to the front hall to pay homage, and Xiner and I will cook for you to add some food and wine."
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law." The four brothers said in unison.
So Lu Fang led the four people to the Daxiong Palace, and they became brothers with different surnames under the witness of the Buddha.
After the worship, Lu Fang said: "I think the four of you are about the same age, and Lu will definitely be the eldest brother."
The other four also had no objection and called Big Brother.
Xu Qing said, "I was born in June of the Renzi year, how about you?"
"Born in February of the Renzi year." Han Zhang replied.
"What a coincidence, I am also in the year of Renzi, in October." Jiang Ping said.
"What a coincidence, I was born in the twelfth lunar month of the Renzi year." Bai Yutang said happily, so that they can be ranked according to the birth month.
"So everyone was born in Zi Nian?" Lu Fang was even more surprised.
As soon as this remark came out, the other four brothers looked at Lu Fang in surprise, and asked at the same time: "The eldest brother was also born in Zi Nian?"
"Yes, born in the year of Gengzi." Lu Fang replied to the brothers.
Xu Qing joked: "We are five mice, hahaha!"
"Five rats, fate, haha!" Han Zhang said with a smile.
Jiang Ping joked on a whim: "Why don't we walk the rivers and lakes under the name of 'Five Rats'."
"Okay, I agree, I agree." Bai Yutang said playfully, "Elder brother is as light as a swallow, not like ordinary lightness kung fu, he can go up and down, so why not call him a sky mouse. The second brother came out from the ground that day. If you think you have the ability to escape from the ground, you might as well call it the Chedishu. The third brother Xu Qing is so powerful that he can penetrate mountains and rocks, so he is called... the mountain mouse. The fourth brother saved the younger brother from the water that day. I think the water is good. Just call it Jiangshu...Fanjiangshu. I...I..." Bai Yutang couldn't think of what to call him.
Jiang Ping thought that he was so handsome in whatever clothes he wore that day, so he said: "You have a good figure and a gorgeous appearance. Why don't you just be Chinchilla, hahahaha!"
Lu Fang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's take care of the fourth and fifth brothers, and we'll call them Five Rats."
"Okay, I agree." Han Zhang also smiled happily.
Xu Qing said with a smile: "Fifth Brother's description is apt, I admire it!"
So the five people held hands and said: "We are the five rats. From now on, we will share the blessings and share the difficulties."
At this moment, Mrs. Lu had come over with the fried food and said: "Tianling Temple is really outstanding, and there are all kinds of wine and meat. You brothers are lucky today. Come, come and have a taste."
The seven people sat on the floor, Madam Lu filled the wine and put it away, Lu Fang said: "Come, brother, I respect you."
The four brothers held up their wine glasses and said at the same time, "To my elder brother and sister-in-law."
So they drank until dawn.
In the early morning of the next day, when Lu Fang saw that everyone was sober, he said, "If you have nothing else to do, it's about a day's journey from Songjiang Lu's Village. Let's go to get together at home?"
"Okay." How could the four brothers not go to the eldest brother's house?So the four of them went back to their residences, packed their luggage, and went to Lujiazhuang in Songjiang with their entourage.
It turned out that Lujiazhuang was the name of a town, and it was built according to the terrain. They rode their horses along the main road, passed a town called Yunji, and arrived at the boundary of Lujiazhuang.Looking from a distance, there is a green mountain. Lu Fang told them that this mountain is called Luopan Mountain, and there is a river in the middle called Panhe, which flows from north to south, and looks like a direction mark in a compass from a distance.When the four of them took a closer look, it really looked like a compass. There seemed to be a pointer pointing to the south in the middle, and there was a green bamboo forest below.
Lu Fang pointed to a large river in the north and said: "This is Songjiang. Mohua village is on the north bank of Songjiang in the section of Lujiazhuang. They all make a living by fishing. Going forward is a bamboo forest. The people of Lujiazhuang are called Chunzhulin. In Xiaolu Village on Sky Island. Due to the turbulent water of the Xuanzhu River, there is no way to build a bridge for the time being, so everyone has to travel between the two sides of the river by boat."
When Bai Yutang heard about the boat ride, he remembered the seasick scene in Yangzhou, and said, "It's really impossible to build a bridge?"
"Yes, you will know it after reading it." Lu Fang didn't understand, so he explained.
Jiang Ping just thought of it and said: "Fifth brother is seasick, that's why I'm afraid."
"Who said I'm scared? It's a big deal to build a bridge by myself." After this day of getting along, everyone is already familiar with it, and occasionally make a joke, haha!
When they reached the Xuanzhu River, everyone was stunned by the turbulent waves. The river was about tens of feet wide. Jiang Ping joked, "Fifth brother, it seems that we can only build a bridge with iron locks, ha ha!"
"Good idea. Tomorrow I will ask third brother to tie a chain and pull it into a bridge, haha." Bai Yutang laughed.
After hearing this, Xu Qing said seriously: "Okay, I will definitely give you the strongest chain in the world."
"Hahaha, third brother treats me better." Bai Yutang said while holding Xu Qing's arm, acting coquettishly on purpose.
After a while, the Lu family's boat came and he boarded the boat. Bai Yutang found that he didn't get seasick this time, probably because he had been sitting outside the boat and didn't feel that stuffy feeling.
When we got to the other side, Lu Fang pointed to the front and said: "That's Xiaolu Village, go, let the elder brother treat you well."
The brothers headed towards Xiaoluzhuang vigorously. This Xiaoluzhuang is not as small as the name.There is also a Lujiazhuang in it, which is the home of Lu Fang. Others call him Da Yuanwai (the name in the original book). The Lujiazhuang is managed by two brothers: one is called Lu Xin, the other is called Lu Yi, and the age is the same as that of Lu Fang. almost.
Lu Fang said to the four brothers: "You don't have to be polite, just treat it as your own home."
Xu Qing looked at such a big manor and said, "Brother, is this all your own property?"
Bai Yutang also said: "Big Brother, I really admire Big Brother's ability."
"Where, this is the property left by the ancestors." Lu Fang said: "The hall in front is called Wuyi Hall, left by my father."
"Why is it called Wuyi Hall?" Han Zhang asked with a smile.
"My late father was once the leader of the Five Righteousnesses in the Jianghu."
"Could it be Lu Taigong Lu Yiwen, who was famous in the world back then?" Bai Yutang suddenly asked.
Lu Fang looked at Bai Yutang in surprise and asked, "How did Fifth Brother know?"
"The tutor is Liu Haitao, the son of Tsing Yi, who is the third of the five virtues, and his style name is Yitian." Bai Yutang replied.
"It turns out that the fifth younger brother is a senior apprentice of Uncle Yitian, no wonder he is from the Jianghu! It seems that we are from the same school." Lu Fang said, and became close to Bai Yutang Beijia.Then Lu Fang said to the others: "My late father had four juniors in total. The second uncle is Li Hao, named Yihong; the third uncle is Bai Yutang's master Tsing Yizi Liu Haitao, named Yitian; The uncle’s nickname is Chen Yuan, the Immortal of the Mountain, and his style name is Yimin; the fifth master uncle is Xie Qiang, his style name is Yongyi. After they left the rivers and lakes, they always lived on Zikong Island, so my father built the Wuyi Hall The lobby was later lost due to some accidents."
"Li Yihong, the Shark in the Waves, is the teacher." Jiang Ping said in surprise.
"What a coincidence?" Lu Fang asked.
"Coincidentally, Chen Yuan is my master." Han Zhang said, "That's why the younger brother has a closer relationship with the fourth brother Jiang."
Xu Qing hurriedly grabbed Han Zhang and said, "So you are the senior brother I have never met? I heard the master mentioned that I have another senior brother in Huangzhou. I didn't expect that we would be so coincidental. .”
"No way? Such a coincidence?" Jiang Ping looked at everyone in surprise.
"It turns out that everyone is from the same school again, hehe, it's really good." Xu Qing said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that our sworn brotherhood would bring together five more people. This Wuyi hall just fits the title." Han Zhang said while pulling Xu Qing.
"It's a pity that the successor of the Fifth Master Uncle has not been found, otherwise the late father's last wish would have been fulfilled." Lu Fang said regretfully.
Jiang Ping pulled Lu Fang and said, "Brother, let's go look for the successor of Fifth Master Uncle."
"You don't need to look for it, I'll just go and call him." Bai Yutang pulled Lu Fang and said.
"Fifth Brother, have you seen him?" Lu Fang said excitedly.
Bai Yutang smiled and said, "Not only have I met him? He was my playmate when I was young, and we were brothers with him at the time. As a result, I changed my name to Bai Yutang in the first month of this year, so I am not close to him anymore."
"What's going on?" Han Zhang asked.
"It's a long story, and I can't say it clearly in a few words, so I can talk slowly when I find some time," Bai Yutang said.Then he pulled Lu Fang and said, "Brother, his name is Zhan Zhao. He is the son of Nan Xia Zhan Rui among the three heroes. He was also born in the year of Renzi. But I heard from my teacher that Xie Wushu plans to let him use his father' Nan Xia" this year. The name of the rivers and lakes, I guess he is already in the south of the Yangtze River, but I don’t know where it is. This time, my younger brother planned to visit him in Changzhou, and then went to Yangzhou and Hangzhou with a playful heart, but this visit is really worthwhile Yes, hehe!"
"So that's it! Finally, we can find it." Lu Fang said with relief.
"Fifth, tell me how you became Zhan Zhao's brother? Everyone must be very curious about this." Xu Qing pulled Bai Yutang and asked.
"Okay, then let's talk slowly." Bai Yutang straightforwardly told the story of his past.
After listening to Bai Yutang's experience, all the brothers sympathized with him, especially Lu Fang, who pulled Bai Yutang and said, "Fifth brother, from now on, Zikong Island will be your second home. Zhan Zhao is also your blood brother."
The other brothers also pulled him along, and everyone took great care of Bai Yutang.They settled down on Xingkong Island. Unexpectedly, Xu Qing really tied the fifth brother with the strongest iron chain in the world. Under Jiang Ping's coaxing, Bai Yutang ordered people to bury a stone pillar on both sides of the Xuanzhu River. Then he pulled up the chain.Relying on his good lightness skills and courage, Bai Yutang tried to fly over it, but he flew from one bank to the other bank after just one try, which made all the brothers and people in the Sky Island envious. But no one dared to fly across the Xuanzhu River like him, probably few people in the world would dare to do so, so Bai Yutang's courage is really astonishing.Therefore, the Dulong bridge with iron chains has been placed on the empty island.
Later, Lu Fang, Han Zhang, and Xu Qing returned to Shanxi, and went to visit the fourth uncle Chen Yuan together.Jiang Ping said he was going home to visit his mother, and then went to Shanxi to visit his fourth uncle.Bai Yutang wanted to go back to Changzhou first, and then return to Bianjing to see his master, report to his master there, and then go to Shanxi to join his brothers.
As a result, the five brothers separated again, and each was busy with his own business.Bai Yutang hadn't returned to Lu's Village for a long time. Unexpectedly, the Five Rats of Trapped Sky Island had already been spread in Jianghu. In fact, they didn't participate in any grand meeting in Jianghu. They just killed the monks of Tianling Temple in Hangzhou and worshiped there As a brother, he called himself the Five Rats, and then slowly spread from Hangzhou City.
End of this chapter
One day, Bai Yutang asked Bai Fu to go to the Yuelai Inn to settle the bill, and then went to stay at the Yuanlai Inn near the Slender West Lake, and had a good time here by the way.Bai Yutang walked to the 24th bridge alone, and was about to look around, but saw a familiar figure standing on the 24th bridge, as if waiting for someone.He remembered that person, Han Zhang who rescued Sun Wenjing together outside the city gate.Bai Yutang has always wanted to get acquainted with this person, because his kung fu is so strange, how he got out of the ground is really unimaginable, it is really fate to meet him today.Just as he was about to walk over to say hello, he suddenly heard a "plop--" behind him, and someone fell into the water.He immediately turned around to look, which also attracted Han Zhang's attention.
Bai Yutang jumped into the water without saying a word, but when he got into the water, he realized that he didn't know water skills and pretended to be a hero to save people. This was the end of the game, and he had no other choice but to die! He felt like he had drunk too much Drooling, and then lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he found himself wobbly, with a feeling of wanting to vomit. He looked around, but couldn't find a place to vomit, so he rushed out. It turned out that he was on a boat. He walked to the bow Spit up.
After a while, only one person said: "Drink some water and rinse your mouth."
After seeing a glass of water, Bai Yutang took the glass and said, "Thank you." After drinking the water, he felt a little better, and he turned around to see the person delivering the water.
I saw a boy who was similar in height and age to me. He was wearing a dark red cloak and there were water drops in his hair. He knew that the other party had just come out of the water before he could wipe off the water drops on his head, so he said : "Thank you, brother, for saving my life."
"Easy to do..."
He was about to say more when a servant came over and handed him a towel, "Master, dry your hair first, so you don't catch a cold."
The man took the towel and waved to the servant, and the servant went down. While wiping his hair, he said to Bai Yutang, "My surname is Jiang Mingping, my name is Zechang, and I'm from Jinling."
"My younger brother's surname is Bai, his name is Yutang, his courtesy name is Yanze, and his ancestral home is Jinhua, Zhejiang." Seeing the other party's self-reported name, Yutang also mentioned his native place.
"Since Brother Bai is not used to boating, please wait outside and land right away." Jiang Ping didn't ask him why he fell into the water, after all he knew that it is not appropriate to talk too much when seasick, let alone the other party still fell into the water?What can't you think about when you are young, as for throwing yourself into the lake?He didn't know that the other party was saving someone, but he knew that he couldn't swim and jumped into the water to save someone. It was a rare sacrifice to save someone.
After a while, after landing on the shore, Jiang Ping gave instructions to his servants, and then said to Bai Yutang: "The small courtyard in Yangzhou is nearby. If Brother Bai doesn't mind, go there and rest for a while before going back."
"Thank you, Brother Jiang, but I'll bother you little brother." Bai Yutang didn't refuse, after all, he was still suffering from seasickness, and he didn't know when he found Bai Fu, so he didn't want to be polite to him.After a while, Jiang Ping helped Bai Yutang to a courtyard, but Bai Yutang was still not feeling well.
When I arrived at the living room, I heard someone outside the door say: "Brother Jiang Xian, you should be at home, so it will be easier for you to find me!"
Jiang Ping helped Bai Yutang to the seat, and then saw the person coming.
I saw a person coming from outside. Bai Yutang saw it. It turned out to be Han Zhang on the 24th Bridge.
Jiang Ping said: "Brother Han, I'm sorry, my younger brother missed the appointment."
When Han Zhang came in, he saw Bai Yutang, and said, "Brother Bai, why are you at Jiang's house?" Seeing that Bai Yutang was dripping wet, he said, "So you can't swim, and I'm still wondering if you went into the water." Rescue people, the rescued person was washed ashore by the water, why didn't you come up by yourself?"
"Brother Han laughed." Bai Yutang said awkwardly.
Jiang Ping suddenly realized that Bai Yutang was saving people. Hehe, I didn’t expect that! He said, “Brother Bai, I think you are about the same size as me. Catch a cold!" As he spoke, he saw a servant taking a set of white clothes.
Bai Yutang took the clothes and went to the guest room to change. The clothes fit just right, and he combed his hair again before coming out.At this time, Bai Yutang bowed to the two of them and said, "I'm really sorry for keeping the two brothers waiting for so long. Why don't I let the younger brother invite the two of you, firstly to express my gratitude to Brother Jiang, and secondly to let the younger brother get close to both of you." My dear friend."
"Since we're in the humble house, how can we invite Brother Bai to treat you? How about having a drink with everyone in the humble house tonight?" Jiang Ping is also generous, because he just heard Han Zhang talk about the scene when he met Bai Yutang, and he also wanted to get close to him , so he should be left alone.
"This……"
"Brother Bai, don't refuse. It's not too late to invite you next time we meet." Han Zhang also helped.
"Then my younger brother, I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Bai Yutang couldn't refuse, so he stayed and chatted with Han and Jiang. Who knew that the three of them chatted more and more speculatively, until they were thirty after drinking, and slept at Jiang's house. down.The next day, the three of them went for a stroll around Yangzhou City, because Han Zhang and Jiang Ping still had something to do, so Bai Yutang bid farewell for them at Yuanlai Inn, and reluctantly parted.
The next day, Bai Yutang took Bai Fu to visit the Slender West Lake, but ran into Lin Yun and Xiao Luzi again.Lin Yun took them to enjoy the beautiful scenery around the Slender West Lake.
They walked along the winding lake road, and the long dike spring willows on both sides pulled out their long silk ribbons and danced in the wind. The planting of peaches and willows made Yangzhou more beautiful in March. The willows danced and the peach petals followed the willows. Every now and then, as the saying goes, "The spring warbler flies into the peach blossom rain, and the swallows hold the mud in front of the willow embankment. Where does a silver sail go? The West Lake is sent to the west of Guangling."
There is a pool of green lotus in Xu Garden, and the round lotus leaves are sprinkled all over the clear pool. The rocks in the garden have their own characteristics, and it seems that you can hear the singing of orioles.
Looking at the Wuting Bridge from a distance, it looks like a ribbon tied on the Slender West Lake. Five small pavilions are built on the lake, as beautiful as a graceful girl!
Then the four of them went to Daming Temple, an ancient temple built in the reign of Liu Song and Daming Dynasty.
Originally wanted to go to Tianning Temple again, but it was too late. Lin Yun said that he would go to Hangzhou the next day, so he didn't accompany them again.Because there is also a Tianning Temple in Changzhou, Bai Yutang also wanted to see the difference, so he delayed for an extra day.The next day, Bai Yutang's master and servant decided to go to Hangzhou as well. Anyway, going anywhere was for fun, so the two also went to Hangzhou.This trip to Hangzhou gave Bai Yutang the title of the unique Chinchilla in the rivers and lakes, hehe...
Hangzhou was originally a beautiful city, and it was already April when Bai Yutang's master and servant arrived in Hangzhou.
They found an inn by the West Lake, also called "Yuanlai Inn", Bai Fu said strangely: "There is also a Yuanlai inn here, young master."
"This Yuanlai Inn is really not small. There are both Yangzhou and Hangzhou, as well as Suzhou. Then we can live in this Yuanlai Inn." Bai Yutang remembers the first time he went to Suzhou and stayed at the Yuanlai Inn with his master. Last year I couldn't find it in Suzhou, so I stayed in Yanhuilai. It seems that he and this Yuanlai Inn are really destined.So they lived here, and Xiao Er led them to the guest room of Ren Zi Jiu on the second floor. They simply packed their bags, and the master and servant went downstairs to eat.Unexpectedly, just after ordering, I heard two people talking on the opposite table.
One person said: "Brother Lu, that monk from Tianling Temple is too disgusting, I must teach him a lesson tonight."
"Brother Xu Xian, Brother Yiwei will discuss this matter after we see it." The other one buried his head in his meal after finishing speaking.
Bai Yutang looked at them, he knew these two people, they were the other two people outside Yangzhou city that day: one had a weird lightness skill, but was as light as a swallow, flexible and flexible; the other had boundless strength.He originally wanted to go to say hello, but when he thought of Tianling Temple, he thought: They must go there tonight, why not go there and see you later.I just lowered my head and started eating. In the afternoon, I went out to visit the West Lake with Bai Fu. It turned out that Tianling Temple was near the West Lake. Because Lingyin Temple was relatively prosperous, other temples around it seemed deserted. However, Tianling Temple not only Small, and not many monks.Because it was receiving guests during the day, the gate of the temple was open. The master and servant of Baiyutang went in and pretended to offer incense, and then looked at the terrain.
The main hall is the Daxiong Hall, behind it is a small courtyard composed of the Hall of Compassion and Peace and the Hall of Xiangyun, and behind it is the Tianlingyuan. Needless to say, Tianlingyuan is the place where the monks live.There is a small corner door on the right side of Tianlingyuan, and the word "Heyuan" is written on the corner door, and the corner door is locked.
Bai Yutang and Bai Fu walked over, pushed the corner door, and saw that there were layers of rockery, jagged rocks, small bridges and flowing water inside. It was a wonder, but it was a pity that the corner door was closed.
A monk came over and said, "Teachers, this is a forbidden area. Please visit other places."
Bai Fu was about to say something, but Bai Yutang said, "Okay, we'll leave now." After speaking, he took Bai Fu to another place, and returned to Yuanlai Inn after shopping.
When the willows were on the moon, Bai Yutang changed into night clothes, and came straight to Tianling Temple with his Huaying Sword.Suddenly a black shadow flashed past, which attracted Bai Yutang's attention, and Bai Yutang quietly followed behind him.I saw the black shadow enter the Tianlingyuan, flew directly to the roof, and then jumped into the lotus garden. Bai Yutang wanted to jump down, but saw another black shadow jumping down too. The second man in black asked the first One: "Are you sure you see this?"
The first man in black said, "That's right, Miss Huang is right here."
Then the two of them walked around the rocks one after the other and entered a small cave.
Just as Bai Yutang was about to jump off, he was held back by a man, who was also a man in black, and Bai Yutang asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"
"The monks of Tianling Temple set a trap inside, we should be careful." The man replied.
"How did you know?"
"This morning, Jiannei and Xiaomei were captured by the monks of Tianling Temple. After dinner, I wanted to find out. I found that there were still a few women inside. I tried to rescue them, but I almost got caught, so I had to leave first. .”
Bai Yutang nodded and said, "May I ask what your name is?"
"Lu Fang."
"Brother Lu, sister-in-law and the others are in the second room on the left. This is..." Another man in black came from behind, and after speaking to Lu Fang, he looked at Bai Yutang strangely.
"Little brother Bai Yutang, what is the name of this brother?" Bai Yutang said.
"I'm Xu Qing."
"Is there anything I can do for my little brother?" Bai Yutang said.
"If you don't mind, brother, you can help us guard outside, and my two brothers will go down to save people." Lu Fang was not polite.
"Okay, my little brother will be guarding at the gate of the lotus garden, and will never let a monk in." Bai Yutang also knew.
"Thank you, brother." After Lu Fang finished speaking, he took Xu Qing down.
As soon as they went down, they saw a monk secretly unlocking the lotus garden. Bai Yutang clicked his Ya acupuncture point at the door and took him up to the roof. Then he unlocked the acupuncture point, pointed his sword at his throat and said: " How many women are imprisoned in the lotus garden?" The monk didn't speak, but Bai Yutang swung his sword and cut off one of his fingers and asked, "Should you tell me?"
"Seven." The monk didn't dare to shout out in pain, he knew this man was cruel and had to tell the truth.
"How many monks are there in the monastery?"
"28."
"How was the trap set?"
"Young monk... I don't know, little monk."
Bai Yutang was about to cut again, but he heard someone say: "Jingxiu, why don't you close the door?" Then he saw three monks enter the lotus garden, Bai Yutang swung his sword at the monk and killed the young monk .
He saw three monks walking to the entrance of the rockery, so he jumped down and killed two monks, tapped one monk's acupuncture point and asked, "How did you set up the trap?"
"There is...in the master's room."
"What are you doing here?"
"Master said that someone touched the mechanism, and asked the little monk to come and check."
"Take me to your master." Bai Yutang threatened him.
A man in black came out and cursed, "Look, if I don't kill those stinky monks, I dare to set up a trap." Seeing someone pointing a sword at a monk, he bowed to Bai Yutang and said: " It turns out that we have helpers, what do you call Xiongtai?"
"Little brother Bai Yutang."
"But Jinhua's Baiyu cousin?" the man asked in surprise.
"Are you..." Bai Yutang was also surprised, so he asked.
"Jiang Ping in Jinling."
"It's Brother Jiang, it's the younger brother." Bai Yutang replied.
"Great, the one inside is Brother Han Zhang, he was caught by a trap, and my younger brother is going to kill those monks!" Jiang Ping said excitedly when he heard that it was Bai Yutang.
"Okay, younger brother will go with elder brother." Bai Yutang asked that monk to lead the way to Tianlingyuan, but another monk saw him and shouted. At this time, more than [-] monks came out. Bai Yutang and Jiang Ping Bian fought with them.After a while, three more people joined the battle. The two men in black were Lu Fang and Xu Qing, and there was a woman who should be Lu Fang's wife.Soon these five people killed more than [-] monks. Madam Lu suddenly saw a monk in his forties heading towards the little girl next to him. She threw the sword in her hand and killed the monk. Guo ran over and pulled the little girl and asked, "Xin'er, are you alright?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." The little girl was not afraid at all.
Bai Yutang retracted his sword and said to Lu Fang: "Brother Lu, there is still a brother and several women who have not been rescued."
"Okay, let's go save people." Lu Fang said to Xu Qing: "Brother Xu Xian, I will trouble you for your trouble, we will come as soon as we go."
"Brother Lu, don't worry, I will take good care of my wife." Xu Qing was also generous, watching the three of them go.After a while, they rescued Han Zhang and five other women, and arranged the women.After everyone took off their masks, Lu Fang was surprised when he saw Han Zhang and Bai Yutang, and then smiled and said, "So it's you."
Xu Qing didn't think about it for a while, so he said, "Brother Lu, do you know them?"
"We fought off bandits outside Yangzhou city together." Lu Fang explained.
Xu Qing said with a smile: "I didn't think about it for a while, it was really the two of them, the white-clothed boy fought against the crowd, and this brother's unexpected appearance frightened the bandits, ha ha!"
Han Zhang bowed to them and said: "Han Zhang in Xiahuangzhou, named Zejing, is in the business of escort agency."
"In Xiasongjiang, Lu Fang, whose name is Zegong, makes a living by fishing. This is Xu Qing from Shanxi, whose name is Zelian, who is a blacksmith."
"Jiang Ping, whose name is Ze Chang, runs many shops." Jiang Ping also saluted.
"Bai Yutang of Jinhua, courtesy name Zeyan, is from Jianghu." Bai Yutang was not lost.
"It's so strange, you all have the word 'Ze' in your characters!" said the girl named Xin'er.
At this time, everyone realized that they were so destined, and the five looked at each other, and then laughed.
Lu Fang said heartily: "Since there is such a fate, why don't we take advantage of the Buddha's fate in Tianling Temple to worship as brothers with different surnames?"
"Okay." "Okay!" The other four agreed.
Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "You go to the front hall to pay homage, and Xiner and I will cook for you to add some food and wine."
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law." The four brothers said in unison.
So Lu Fang led the four people to the Daxiong Palace, and they became brothers with different surnames under the witness of the Buddha.
After the worship, Lu Fang said: "I think the four of you are about the same age, and Lu will definitely be the eldest brother."
The other four also had no objection and called Big Brother.
Xu Qing said, "I was born in June of the Renzi year, how about you?"
"Born in February of the Renzi year." Han Zhang replied.
"What a coincidence, I am also in the year of Renzi, in October." Jiang Ping said.
"What a coincidence, I was born in the twelfth lunar month of the Renzi year." Bai Yutang said happily, so that they can be ranked according to the birth month.
"So everyone was born in Zi Nian?" Lu Fang was even more surprised.
As soon as this remark came out, the other four brothers looked at Lu Fang in surprise, and asked at the same time: "The eldest brother was also born in Zi Nian?"
"Yes, born in the year of Gengzi." Lu Fang replied to the brothers.
Xu Qing joked: "We are five mice, hahaha!"
"Five rats, fate, haha!" Han Zhang said with a smile.
Jiang Ping joked on a whim: "Why don't we walk the rivers and lakes under the name of 'Five Rats'."
"Okay, I agree, I agree." Bai Yutang said playfully, "Elder brother is as light as a swallow, not like ordinary lightness kung fu, he can go up and down, so why not call him a sky mouse. The second brother came out from the ground that day. If you think you have the ability to escape from the ground, you might as well call it the Chedishu. The third brother Xu Qing is so powerful that he can penetrate mountains and rocks, so he is called... the mountain mouse. The fourth brother saved the younger brother from the water that day. I think the water is good. Just call it Jiangshu...Fanjiangshu. I...I..." Bai Yutang couldn't think of what to call him.
Jiang Ping thought that he was so handsome in whatever clothes he wore that day, so he said: "You have a good figure and a gorgeous appearance. Why don't you just be Chinchilla, hahahaha!"
Lu Fang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's take care of the fourth and fifth brothers, and we'll call them Five Rats."
"Okay, I agree." Han Zhang also smiled happily.
Xu Qing said with a smile: "Fifth Brother's description is apt, I admire it!"
So the five people held hands and said: "We are the five rats. From now on, we will share the blessings and share the difficulties."
At this moment, Mrs. Lu had come over with the fried food and said: "Tianling Temple is really outstanding, and there are all kinds of wine and meat. You brothers are lucky today. Come, come and have a taste."
The seven people sat on the floor, Madam Lu filled the wine and put it away, Lu Fang said: "Come, brother, I respect you."
The four brothers held up their wine glasses and said at the same time, "To my elder brother and sister-in-law."
So they drank until dawn.
In the early morning of the next day, when Lu Fang saw that everyone was sober, he said, "If you have nothing else to do, it's about a day's journey from Songjiang Lu's Village. Let's go to get together at home?"
"Okay." How could the four brothers not go to the eldest brother's house?So the four of them went back to their residences, packed their luggage, and went to Lujiazhuang in Songjiang with their entourage.
It turned out that Lujiazhuang was the name of a town, and it was built according to the terrain. They rode their horses along the main road, passed a town called Yunji, and arrived at the boundary of Lujiazhuang.Looking from a distance, there is a green mountain. Lu Fang told them that this mountain is called Luopan Mountain, and there is a river in the middle called Panhe, which flows from north to south, and looks like a direction mark in a compass from a distance.When the four of them took a closer look, it really looked like a compass. There seemed to be a pointer pointing to the south in the middle, and there was a green bamboo forest below.
Lu Fang pointed to a large river in the north and said: "This is Songjiang. Mohua village is on the north bank of Songjiang in the section of Lujiazhuang. They all make a living by fishing. Going forward is a bamboo forest. The people of Lujiazhuang are called Chunzhulin. In Xiaolu Village on Sky Island. Due to the turbulent water of the Xuanzhu River, there is no way to build a bridge for the time being, so everyone has to travel between the two sides of the river by boat."
When Bai Yutang heard about the boat ride, he remembered the seasick scene in Yangzhou, and said, "It's really impossible to build a bridge?"
"Yes, you will know it after reading it." Lu Fang didn't understand, so he explained.
Jiang Ping just thought of it and said: "Fifth brother is seasick, that's why I'm afraid."
"Who said I'm scared? It's a big deal to build a bridge by myself." After this day of getting along, everyone is already familiar with it, and occasionally make a joke, haha!
When they reached the Xuanzhu River, everyone was stunned by the turbulent waves. The river was about tens of feet wide. Jiang Ping joked, "Fifth brother, it seems that we can only build a bridge with iron locks, ha ha!"
"Good idea. Tomorrow I will ask third brother to tie a chain and pull it into a bridge, haha." Bai Yutang laughed.
After hearing this, Xu Qing said seriously: "Okay, I will definitely give you the strongest chain in the world."
"Hahaha, third brother treats me better." Bai Yutang said while holding Xu Qing's arm, acting coquettishly on purpose.
After a while, the Lu family's boat came and he boarded the boat. Bai Yutang found that he didn't get seasick this time, probably because he had been sitting outside the boat and didn't feel that stuffy feeling.
When we got to the other side, Lu Fang pointed to the front and said: "That's Xiaolu Village, go, let the elder brother treat you well."
The brothers headed towards Xiaoluzhuang vigorously. This Xiaoluzhuang is not as small as the name.There is also a Lujiazhuang in it, which is the home of Lu Fang. Others call him Da Yuanwai (the name in the original book). The Lujiazhuang is managed by two brothers: one is called Lu Xin, the other is called Lu Yi, and the age is the same as that of Lu Fang. almost.
Lu Fang said to the four brothers: "You don't have to be polite, just treat it as your own home."
Xu Qing looked at such a big manor and said, "Brother, is this all your own property?"
Bai Yutang also said: "Big Brother, I really admire Big Brother's ability."
"Where, this is the property left by the ancestors." Lu Fang said: "The hall in front is called Wuyi Hall, left by my father."
"Why is it called Wuyi Hall?" Han Zhang asked with a smile.
"My late father was once the leader of the Five Righteousnesses in the Jianghu."
"Could it be Lu Taigong Lu Yiwen, who was famous in the world back then?" Bai Yutang suddenly asked.
Lu Fang looked at Bai Yutang in surprise and asked, "How did Fifth Brother know?"
"The tutor is Liu Haitao, the son of Tsing Yi, who is the third of the five virtues, and his style name is Yitian." Bai Yutang replied.
"It turns out that the fifth younger brother is a senior apprentice of Uncle Yitian, no wonder he is from the Jianghu! It seems that we are from the same school." Lu Fang said, and became close to Bai Yutang Beijia.Then Lu Fang said to the others: "My late father had four juniors in total. The second uncle is Li Hao, named Yihong; the third uncle is Bai Yutang's master Tsing Yizi Liu Haitao, named Yitian; The uncle’s nickname is Chen Yuan, the Immortal of the Mountain, and his style name is Yimin; the fifth master uncle is Xie Qiang, his style name is Yongyi. After they left the rivers and lakes, they always lived on Zikong Island, so my father built the Wuyi Hall The lobby was later lost due to some accidents."
"Li Yihong, the Shark in the Waves, is the teacher." Jiang Ping said in surprise.
"What a coincidence?" Lu Fang asked.
"Coincidentally, Chen Yuan is my master." Han Zhang said, "That's why the younger brother has a closer relationship with the fourth brother Jiang."
Xu Qing hurriedly grabbed Han Zhang and said, "So you are the senior brother I have never met? I heard the master mentioned that I have another senior brother in Huangzhou. I didn't expect that we would be so coincidental. .”
"No way? Such a coincidence?" Jiang Ping looked at everyone in surprise.
"It turns out that everyone is from the same school again, hehe, it's really good." Xu Qing said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that our sworn brotherhood would bring together five more people. This Wuyi hall just fits the title." Han Zhang said while pulling Xu Qing.
"It's a pity that the successor of the Fifth Master Uncle has not been found, otherwise the late father's last wish would have been fulfilled." Lu Fang said regretfully.
Jiang Ping pulled Lu Fang and said, "Brother, let's go look for the successor of Fifth Master Uncle."
"You don't need to look for it, I'll just go and call him." Bai Yutang pulled Lu Fang and said.
"Fifth Brother, have you seen him?" Lu Fang said excitedly.
Bai Yutang smiled and said, "Not only have I met him? He was my playmate when I was young, and we were brothers with him at the time. As a result, I changed my name to Bai Yutang in the first month of this year, so I am not close to him anymore."
"What's going on?" Han Zhang asked.
"It's a long story, and I can't say it clearly in a few words, so I can talk slowly when I find some time," Bai Yutang said.Then he pulled Lu Fang and said, "Brother, his name is Zhan Zhao. He is the son of Nan Xia Zhan Rui among the three heroes. He was also born in the year of Renzi. But I heard from my teacher that Xie Wushu plans to let him use his father' Nan Xia" this year. The name of the rivers and lakes, I guess he is already in the south of the Yangtze River, but I don’t know where it is. This time, my younger brother planned to visit him in Changzhou, and then went to Yangzhou and Hangzhou with a playful heart, but this visit is really worthwhile Yes, hehe!"
"So that's it! Finally, we can find it." Lu Fang said with relief.
"Fifth, tell me how you became Zhan Zhao's brother? Everyone must be very curious about this." Xu Qing pulled Bai Yutang and asked.
"Okay, then let's talk slowly." Bai Yutang straightforwardly told the story of his past.
After listening to Bai Yutang's experience, all the brothers sympathized with him, especially Lu Fang, who pulled Bai Yutang and said, "Fifth brother, from now on, Zikong Island will be your second home. Zhan Zhao is also your blood brother."
The other brothers also pulled him along, and everyone took great care of Bai Yutang.They settled down on Xingkong Island. Unexpectedly, Xu Qing really tied the fifth brother with the strongest iron chain in the world. Under Jiang Ping's coaxing, Bai Yutang ordered people to bury a stone pillar on both sides of the Xuanzhu River. Then he pulled up the chain.Relying on his good lightness skills and courage, Bai Yutang tried to fly over it, but he flew from one bank to the other bank after just one try, which made all the brothers and people in the Sky Island envious. But no one dared to fly across the Xuanzhu River like him, probably few people in the world would dare to do so, so Bai Yutang's courage is really astonishing.Therefore, the Dulong bridge with iron chains has been placed on the empty island.
Later, Lu Fang, Han Zhang, and Xu Qing returned to Shanxi, and went to visit the fourth uncle Chen Yuan together.Jiang Ping said he was going home to visit his mother, and then went to Shanxi to visit his fourth uncle.Bai Yutang wanted to go back to Changzhou first, and then return to Bianjing to see his master, report to his master there, and then go to Shanxi to join his brothers.
As a result, the five brothers separated again, and each was busy with his own business.Bai Yutang hadn't returned to Lu's Village for a long time. Unexpectedly, the Five Rats of Trapped Sky Island had already been spread in Jianghu. In fact, they didn't participate in any grand meeting in Jianghu. They just killed the monks of Tianling Temple in Hangzhou and worshiped there As a brother, he called himself the Five Rats, and then slowly spread from Hangzhou City.
