Faraway Wanderers

When Zhou Zishu walked into Yinzhuang again, the shopkeeper was not the only one who greeted him.

A man with a fat body and a happy face heard him coming, and strode out to greet him. This man has slender eyebrows, fine eyes and a fleshy nose. His face looks like a big white steamed bun steamed out of a cage. It is very attractive to look at. favorite.The shopkeeper of Yinzhuang bowed his waist slightly, and followed the man two steps behind, with a very respectful attitude.

When he saw Zhou Zishu, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Are you... Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Zishu smiled and said, "Why, can't Ping An recognize you?"

It turned out that the man who greeted him was Song Pingan, the head of the Song Dynasty in "Ping'an Yinzhuang". According to legend, this person was originally the housekeeper of the prince's mansion in Nanning. , It will make a big family and a big business.

There are his properties all over the country, and he travels around all year round, and no one knows where he is.Many merchants know that the head of the Song Dynasty is very shrewd when starting a business, but he is not a villain. He is kind and benevolent. He comes and goes, and his reputation is very good. Even the road is wide, and the Song family is also more and more prosperous. stand up.

Song Ping'an was very excited, ordered the shopkeeper to close up, dismissed the boys, cleared the place, asked Zhou Zishu to sit down, and said: "The servant was near Yangzhou, and came here immediately when he heard the news. Have the servants ever neglected you?" Son? My master has been talking about you for several years!"

Then Pingan lowered his voice: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for keeping the news of my master's departure from Beijing under wraps, so that these few years have been peaceful."

Zhou Zishu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's nothing more than a little effort, how is Qiye always?"

But I was thinking in my heart that if your master leaves early, everyone will be able to live a peaceful life.

Pingan smiled and said: "It's very good, it's very good, I'm troublesome, my son is thinking about it, the villain sent a letter back after receiving the news, and I just received a letter from my master yesterday, saying that I am coming here with the big witch, ten and a half months. I guess it will be there…”

Zhou Zishu's calm face twitched immediately when he heard this, thinking that the martial arts in the Central Plains was already chaotic enough, and that disaster would come to interfere. He also politely said: "How can you work hard for the Seventh Lord and the Great Witch?"

Pingan said: "What's the matter, my master has lived in southern Xinjiang for a long time, and he has nothing to do. He happened to come out to exercise his body. The master said that he had agreed with the young master back then, and in the future he must tell the young master that he has a thin waist and a beautiful waist. A girl from Southern Xinjiang is going to be a daughter-in-law."

Zhou Zishu was sweating profusely, and hurriedly said: "Jokes, jokes..."

In his heart, he somehow remembered the appearance of Wen Kexing saying "I want to spend the rest of my life with you" solemnly in the deserted courtyard the day before, and he felt as if there were nails growing on the chair under his buttocks. , I don’t feel well at all, something is wrong all over.

Ping An exchanged a few words with him, then got to the point, and said: "My lord came to ask about the Liulijia, and my servant told the people below to pay attention. I know something these days—Your lord, you know that yesterday a man named Shen Shen The man appeared in the Dongting along with the abbot of Shaolin, and brought a piece of glazed armor?"

Zhou Zishu was taken aback: "Shen Shen, the head of the Shen family in the middle of Shu?"

Pingan nodded and said: "Yes, this person has been out of the world for a long time, but he suddenly appeared this time. He obviously heard the news of the murder of the Zhang family and couldn't stay any longer."

Zhou Zishu made a quick turn in his heart, reacted immediately, and said: "That's right, back then the Taihang Lu family didn't leave any heirs, only a few ineffective little apprentices, all of whom were handed over to Hua Fangling, the head of Taishan, and Zhang's family. ...Could it be that the five legendary glazed armors were in the hands of the five great families?"

Pingan said: "Sure enough, Mr. Zhou knew everything from hearing about it. As soon as Shen Shen appeared, Gao Chong also admitted that Liuli Jia also had a piece in Gaojiazhuang, and finally told the ins and outs of this thing. Have you ever heard of it?" The Book of Yin and Yang' 'Fengshan Sword' and 'Liuhe Magic Art'?"

Zhou Zishu frowned slightly, nodded and said, "I've only heard a little about the Book of Yin and Yang, so I don't know if it's true or not. It's said to be a sacred object in the Valley of Divine Doctors. It's life and death. Rong Xuan, a peerless master who fell into the devil's way, created it himself. The lower part is sword moves, and the upper part is the mental method, which he comprehended from the "Liuhe Divine Art". Quite a few, very obscure and difficult to understand, very easy to get mad, but also extremely powerful, there is no one in the world who can compete with it... Could Gao Chong mean that the secret in the glazed armor is the one left by Rong Xuan? Two martial arts classics?"

Ping An nodded and said: "Exactly, according to Gao Daxia, Rong Xuan went crazy back then. On the one hand, it was the pain of losing his wife. However, after that, the demon became more violent, but it was also because of improper practice. After Rong Xuan died, they found him. After picking up the Liulijia, they saw that the two miraculous skills and the "Yin-Yang Book", the holy object of the miracle doctor Valley, were all contained in it, but no one who practiced kung fu could not help being fascinated by it. At that time, they only felt that this thing was too dangerous, so they put the Liuli Armor is smashed, and it is agreed that each of the five major families will keep a piece, so that Mo Gong will not show up in the rivers and lakes again."

Zhou Zishu frowned after hearing this, and after a while, nodded very slowly, and said, "That's what Gao Chong said..."

Ping'an said with a shameful face: "The slave's ability is really limited."

Zhou Zishu shook his head with a smile, and said, "Tianchuang and Sijizhuang don't know much about the inside story of the tragedy 30 years ago, let alone you as a businessman? It has already helped a lot—but then again, each of the five major families has A piece of glazed armor, where is Zhao’s? Zhao Jing didn’t give an explanation?”

Pingan nodded and said: "The Patriarch of the Zhao family claimed that the glazed armor of the Zhao family was stolen and disappeared. As soon as this statement came out, the people present at that time almost started to make trouble. The head of Huashan seemed to have conclusive evidence, saying It's like Zhao Jing swallowed Zhang's glazed armor for himself, the person sent by the slaves yesterday said that the head of Huashan almost fought with Zhao Daxia."

Zhou Zishu then remembered that the piece of glazed armor that he saw in the crypt that day was probably lost by the Zhao family. The one who stole it must be one of Yu Tianjie and Mu Yunge who died that night. The cicada and oriole were behind, and was taken advantage of by a ghost from Guigu, and then the piece of glazed armor fell into the hands of Wen Kexing by accident, and Fang didn't know how to steal it. Xisanggui subordinates...

Zhou Zishu just felt uncomfortable as if a big rock was blocked in his heart, and he kept turning up the bitter water, thinking, can this matter be more complicated?

He said goodbye to Ping'an with a lot of worries, and went all the way back to find Zhang Chengling. Zhou Zishu didn't fully believe what Gao Chong said - he had to deal with a lot of true and false news in the past, and when he reported to the emperor, he had to sort out the false and keep the true. For a matter, it is often necessary to check the cause and effect a lot, and only dare to submit it when there are no flaws in it. Therefore, no matter what you hear, you are used to being skeptical, and you are always ready to overthrow what you know before.

When he entered the restaurant, he looked up and saw Wen Kexing, Zhang Chengling, Cao Weining and Gu Xiang. Zhou Zishu thought back, why did these four people come together.Then he found that Zhang Chengling and Wen Kexing were occupying a corner of the table, with serious expressions on their faces, so he was a little confused, so he went upstairs to say hello, when he heard Cao Weining expressing emotion there.

"...Actually, what I'm most worried about is that the backyard of the decent people is on fire. Everyone's peace is hurt because of this glazed armor. Don't you hear the story of Er'Li' killing three warriors? I'm afraid that a martial arts catastrophe will start because of this. Time is the scene of 'the dead are like a husband'..."

Gu Xiang asked stupidly and innocently: "What is the deceased?"

Cao Weining said patiently: "'The son said by the river, the dead are like a husband', it is said that Lao Tzu, an old man, wandered in his sleep one day, as if he had reached the river, and when he looked down, the dead were with the flowing water. Going down the river, very sad, expressing feelings..."

Gu Xiang's eyes widened and he said, "Master, Brother Cao knows so much, why would he drop his book bag!"

Zhou Zishu knew why Zhang Chengling and Wen Kexing had such serious expressions on their faces. At that moment, they acted as if nothing had happened on the surface, twirled under their feet, turned around and walked out.

Who would have thought that Wen Kexing's sharp-eyed and mean-spirited man would have spotted him, who is a typical person who would be dragged down even if he died, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Axu, why are you going out? I've been waiting for you for a long time, come here quickly !"

...Zhou Zi said comfortably, the owner of the ghost valley who suffered from the plague really lacked eight lifetimes of virtue for his grandma.

Wen Kexing happily pulled out a chair, asked Zhou Zishu to sit down, poured wine for him himself, and said very courteously: "Come on, try the good wine from this store, it tastes decent and good."

Zhou Zishu tried to condemn him expressionlessly with his eyes. Wen Kexing looked at him for a long while, then suddenly whispered coyly: "It's still in broad daylight..."

When Gu Xiang saw it, he covered Zhang Chengling's eyes with his hand, and said with a bitter face, "The dog's eyes are blind."

Cao Weining blushed, and stammered again: "Gu, Gu, Miss Gu, in fact, you don't have to envy Brother Zhou and Brother Wen for being so deep in love. The girl is as beautiful as a flower, and she will definitely... also There are lovers who secretly admire..."

Gu Xiang blinked at him with big ignorant eyes, and asked, "Ah? Really? Where are you?"

Cao Weining just stared at her blankly, and after a while, he answered irrelevantly and said, "Miss Gu, can I, I, I also call you Axiang?"

Zhou Zishu lowered his head to drink intently, telling himself not to see and not to listen to injustice, he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, he felt that his tongue was numb from vomiting, and for the first time in his life, he didn't taste what was in the cup.

However, just at this time, a person came in at the door suddenly. Upon seeing this person, the noisy restaurant suddenly became quiet for a moment—it was a woman, who walked in without looking sideways, and saw the waiter with the plate staring at him dumbfounded. She smiled lightly, and the plate in the shopkeeper's second-hand shop that had turned into a goose immediately fell to the ground and shattered.

She is so beautiful. Most of the people who saw her at that moment felt that this was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen in their life. Even Gu Xiang stayed for a moment, pulled Cao Weining's sleeve, and whispered: "Look at her, isn't she a fairy?"

Unexpectedly, Cao Weining just glanced at Gu Xiang's gaze, then withdrew his attention again, and said in a low voice: "This woman's gaze is wandering, and the photo book says it is called peach blossom eyes. ..."

The words after him were pressed so low that Gu Xiang, who was staring at the beauty, didn't notice.

On the contrary, Wen Kexing laughed with a "puchi", feeling that Cao Weining is not clever himself, so he can't get used to other people's quick eyes, and the ones who see each other are those with straight eyebrows like Gu Xiang.

The beauty glanced around, then went upstairs and walked towards them. She didn't look at anyone, but only locked on Zhou Zishu. Next week Zishu came alone, and stood beside him, bent down and said to him in a breathless voice, "I asked you to buy me a drink, is that okay?"

This is simply a big peach blossom that fell from the sky, anyone could be knocked dizzy, but before Zhou Zishu could speak, a disturbing hand suddenly stretched out from the side, between the two of them, Wen Ke Xing unceremoniously put his hand into Zhou Zishu's arms, hooked his money bag out quickly, stuffed it into his arms openly, and said calmly, "Girl, I don't think so."
