Faraway Wanderers

There is a saying: "There are too many people talking, and there are too many bastards crawling around. The reason why the bloody storm in the rivers and lakes can last for a long time can be summed up in one word."

In the past, the great figures who could step on a martial arts turmoil with one foot are now too old and able to walk, and their whereabouts have long been difficult to see, and then new people come out to make trouble, and they are quarrelsome and contentious, but in the end they are only four words , How many heroes have been trapped to death?It's just like the little old man like me, sitting by the Jiangbo Pavilion, slapping the table with a gavel: "The world is going down, the people's hearts are not old". Every year there is today, every year has the present.

The Jiangbo Pavilion is full of spring breeze, and now I don’t know who bought it, and built a restaurant next to the lake. There are many people knocking their teeth and beating their farts, and it seems very lively. It wasn't invited by the store, the old guy couldn't sit upright, but he was very talkative, countless people came to Jiangbo Pavilion just to listen to his old man talk about the world.

The old storyteller said: "For example, there is an important event in the city. You have traveled all the way to the north and south. I am afraid it is difficult to know the details. The little old man will share it with everyone and ask for a few copper coins for wine money."

"Let's say that there is a member of the Lu family in our city, he is a first-class good man, he spends money in famine years, and he is absolutely indispensable for giving porridge in famine years. He guards fertile fields and beautiful family members, and sells tea on horseback. The business is handed over to the children and grandchildren, and I am only a rich and idle person, let me tell you, isn't such an old official with nothing to do with those thieves, righteous and evil people?"

Everyone responded one after another: "Not bad."

"But someone wanted to trouble this old member of staff. After the first day of the seventh day, a small flag with three golden flowers was inserted upside down on the door of Lu Yuanwai's room, and there was a hand-length note saying that if The old man Lu refused to spend all his family wealth, so he sent his youngest daughter, Miss Lu, to a nunnery in the north of the city to make atonement, so he wanted to tell the world what he did in the past. Where do you think these three golden flowers are sacred? Let me start from the beginning , friends, some young heroes are young, I am afraid they don't know the reason."

The old storyteller picked up the tea bowl calmly, blew away the froth, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "Everyone of my age has probably heard of Four Seasons Village. It was created by a strange person at the time, we don't know the real name of the owner of the villa, but the people in this place are all ghosts and ghosts. Although he does not show his true colors, he is one of the top masters in the martial arts world."

What Sijizhuang is doing is a secret operation, claiming that there is nothing in the world that they can't find out, and I don't know how many people paid a lot of money to buy news.But later, Four Seasons Village disappeared. There are rumors that after the old owner passed away, the young owner sold Four Seasons Village to the crown prince, who is now the emperor. The golden flower flag is the token of that Four Seasons Village. "

For a moment, everyone was in an uproar, and in addition to discussing it, they all scolded the court eagle and dog for eating salty radish and not worrying about it, their buttocks were sitting on the official stool, and they dared to stretch their hands so long.

A rough man shouted: "Don't be some kind of birdman from Jinhua Village who has taken a fancy to his daughter's beauty and wants to be his son-in-law, right?"

At this time, a series of breathless coughs came from the corner, and there were two old men sitting there, both wrinkled and grey-haired, presumably they were old men from a nearby farm, sneaking in to gather a pot of spirits for a drink .

One of them choked on the wine, and the other sighed, patted his back and muttered, "You are so old, you have to be like this, your back is bent like a ball, and you can't even take a sip of wine." Can’t you look up? It’s okay to be old, and it’s disgusting. What’s the matter with a colander in your throat? Why didn’t you choke to death with one bite?”

The people next to him looked at Rare, and thought: "Why is it a fault to be so old? However, the two old peasants are not beautiful girls, and they have never attracted the interest of others. Throwing away his hands, he just waited wholeheartedly for the storyteller's next words.

The choked old man pointed a finger at his companion, trembling like a sieve, still unable to speak, the other old man glanced around furiously, seeing that no one was paying attention, he held that finger and pinched it. Playing with it in his palm for a while, he bent his eyes and laughed, but he still looked old and unscrupulous.

No one has heard of this episode.

The old storyteller said again: "What can we do to offend such a great Buddha? Now there are different opinions. The golden flower flag lasts for three days, and tonight is the third day. Let's see what the old man says."

A small bowl was placed at the foot of the storyteller's table for people to throw some copper and silver coins. He didn't even look at it, he just threw it away at random, and didn't care if it was stolen. and go.

At dusk, the idlers from Jiangbo Town came to the back of the Lu family, waiting to watch the fun. The young master of the Lu family was named Tianshu, a man with handsome eyebrows and star eyes, a man of literary skill and martial arts, who had studied martial arts under a famous teacher since he was a child. , graduated as a teacher, and just returned home to take over the Lu family's business.

When Lu Tianshu traveled around the rivers and lakes in his early years, he treated people well, so he was very popular and had a lot of friends. It was rare for him to frown.

He hurried out, and a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was waiting for him in the front hall: "Brother Lu."

Lu Tianshu forced a smile: "Cheng Ling, when did you come?"

The young man is one of the most prestigious up-and-comers in the rivers and lakes recently, Zhang Chengling, this person has a rough life experience, and he was also from an aristocratic family. Missing her whereabouts, she returned to the rivers and lakes five years later, but she didn't know who she was worshiping under. Her limp temperament has not changed, but her skills have already shocked the world.

The two met first, and sat down separately, Zhang Chengling said: "I passed by here, I shouldn't bother you, just now I heard something about the house at the Jiangbo Pavilion, so I came to see, brother Lu, what orders, please go ahead Tell me to do it."

After hearing this, Lu Tianshu smiled frowningly, and said in his heart: Chengling, when we first met in the Northland, someone compared him to the unafraid Roe Lord. Now it seems that he will go and listen to him wherever there is trouble. I don't know what to eat to raise such a naive and honest gentleman.

Lu Tianshu just smiled, but didn't speak, because he was full of arrogance in his heart, he was willing to share the joy, and his own family was in trouble, but he didn't want others to bear more.

Zhang Chengling saw that he smiled and said nothing, and his expression was very reserved, so he knew that he was a bit abrupt. He grew up beside two masters who were as smart as foxes in his youth, but he didn't learn anything. He didn't know what to say, so he hurried : "Brother Lu Beihai and I were drinking wine that day, and he said that we hit it off right away, and if we had the opportunity, we would become brothers with different surnames. Since we are brothers, I know that Brother Lu is in trouble, how can I pretend not to know?"

When Lu Tianshu was traveling around, he met eight thousand brothers with different surnames, if not ten thousand, among them there was only such a strange one, who actually took this statement seriously. Looking at Zhang Chengling's unique stick, he felt quite emotional, rare true feelings He said sincerely: "Brother, I just accept this love, but... hey, I will take you to settle down."

The golden flower flag was stuck on the door right under his nose. Lu Tianshu was conceited that he had some tricks, but he didn't know who did it on the spot. He knew immediately that the other party was not something their Lu family could afford.But Lu Yuanwai refused to talk about the ins and outs, and as a son, it was not easy for him to ask questions, but he just glimpsed his father's expression and knew there must be something inside.

Lu Yuanwai is born with a bad temper, and he doesn't rub the sand in his eyes. When encountering unreasonable things, if others don't provoke him, he will explode himself. How can he be threatened by a golden flower and silver flower flag?

Lu Tianshu prevaricated a few words, and wanted his family to take Zhang Chengling down to rest, but at this moment, his family members stumbled over and reported, "Master, go out and have a look, a large group of people with sacks on their faces came to the door people!"

Hearing this remark, Zhang Chengling was very surprised, and asked with straight brows: "Aren't they afraid of suffocating with sacks on their faces?"

The family members looked at him rather sadly, he didn't know if the person coming was suffocating or not, but the young master's expression was ugly as if he was about to suffocate to death.

While speaking, Lu Tianshu had already strode out. There were crowds of people outside Lujiazhuang, people watching the excitement everywhere, and even the trees on the wall were full of heroes who feared that the world would not be chaotic. In the face of a catastrophe, others are still overjoyed to gloat on the sidelines—who called your Lu family to be prominent?

How many people in this world can't see the good of others?

Lu Yuanwai was already standing at the door, with his hands in his sleeves. Miss Lu seemed to want to rush out to break up, but was held down by her family and a few old mothers, and escorted back to the yard, still yelling: "Let go of me, I Let's see what these ugly monsters hide their heads and show their tails! Dare to miss your aunt..."

Youdao is Xiao's father who gave birth to his daughter, but the Miss Lu family has the style of her father.

Lu Tianshu strode over and was about to speak, but was blocked by Lu Yuanwai's raised hand.

There are dozens of strange-looking people at the door, all men covered their faces with white silk embroidered with gold flowers, like a group of stage actresses, surrounded by a man in black in the middle.

The man in black wore a bamboo hat and was more than eight feet tall. He was a big man with his head hidden and his tail exposed. He wore a copper mask on his face, only the tip of his sharp chin was exposed.

"Lu Tong," said the man in black, "I haven't seen you for 30 years, do you still recognize me?"

Lu Yuanwai's nickname is "Maode".It wasn't Lu Tong. As soon as the man in black opened his mouth, the elderly people around were in an uproar. Someone asked softly, "Iron Fan Bone Lu Tong?"

The iron fan bone Lu Tong is not a super master. He was a rising star who was well-known 30 years ago. Unfortunately, he didn't fully rise, so he disappeared. The way of walking is fierce, and he is a good man.

However, did he hide his name and become the old old man with a big belly?

Lu Yuanwai whispered, "Brother Li."

The voice of the man in black was like that of a night owl, Jie Jie said with a smile: "It's difficult for you to remember me as a lonely ghost, then do you know why I came here now?"

Lu Yuanwai looked ugly and said nothing.

"Everyone." The man in black did spread the word, but his eyes never left Lu Yuanwai for a moment, "30 years ago, my junior brother and I were ordered by our master to send Mr. Huang to Taishan to celebrate his birthday. On the way back, this thief met Taishan , I saw a woman accompanying her, the woman's complexion was ashen, which was a sign of poisoning, my brother practiced the technique of Qihuang from a famous teacher since he was a child, and couldn't bear to see her die at such a young age, so he rejuvenated her with a wonderful hand and saved her life .”

Member Lu said without raising his head, "That's right, Mr. Lu will always remember my brother-in-law's life for saving his wife's life."

"I remember it in my heart?" The man in black sneered, "We have blind eyes, but we hit it off with you at first sight. After drinking all night and drinking for three rounds, I was so careless that I accidentally revealed the token of Tianyi Pavilion..."

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar again.

Tianyi Pavilion is the place where the Fan family in Ningbo has accumulated for a hundred years. Mr. Fan traveled all over the world in those years, and once collected martial arts classics from all over the world, and hid them in a pavilion.

Some people whispered: "Tianyi Pavilion? 30 years ago... the current head of Song hasn't been a teacher yet, right?

"It can't be wrong. In the early years, the head of Song Dynasty was a teacher with art. Before entering Tianyi Pavilion, he was a disciple of "Yaolang in coir raincoats". Naturally, he is proficient in the art of Qi and Huang."

"Then this person is..."

"Yes, I am Li Ang, the head disciple of Tianyi Pavilion back then. When Master's health deteriorated, he passed the token of Tianyi Pavilion to me." The man in black raised his hand and took off the copper mask on his face. It was terrifying to see the ravines on that face, without a piece of good meat.

Li Ang said: "Lu Tong has a human face and a beast's heart. When he saw the token of Tianyi Pavilion, he thought of the vast number of ancient books inside, and he became malicious. He got my brothers drunk and took advantage of my insensitivity to poison my wine. I I lost all my skills and was knocked off the cliff by his palm. Later, I was lucky enough to survive. There was a frozen lake under the cliff. Years, it has become like this."

Lu Yuanwai was silent.

Li Ang said: "Lu Tong, I heard that you made your fortune as a dart walker in the early years, and you traveled all over the world, you are very majestic, right? Do you still remember the unjust dead ghost that you knocked off the cliff that night?"

Lu Yuanwai's face was livid.

Li Ang said softly, "Why don't you die?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuanwai suddenly raised his head and said, "You are right, I am indeed mean, but my children Tianshu and Wenling are innocent, if I kill myself here, you have to let them live."

Li Ang, the man in black, didn't answer, but just sneered.

Lu Tianshu said: "Father!"

Lu Yuanwai glanced at him, then looked away.

The masked leader of Huanghua whispered: "I'm afraid you can't help it."

As soon as he finished speaking, those people with yellow flowers immediately took a step forward at the same time. Seeing that posture, they seemed to be trying to force their way in. With this neat step, the bluestone slab paved in front of Lu Yuanwai's house was immediately crushed by them all. , Visible skill.

The leader waved his hand: "Catch people!"

At this moment, a person suddenly said: "Slow!"

Lu Tianshu turned his head and saw Zhang Chengling coming out more and more, dozens of Huanghua people naturally surrounded him, Zhang Chengling was fearless, raised his hands and said: "Mr. Lu, I have always been friends with you, although we are outsiders, At this time, it is inevitable to have the audacity to say a few words."

Lu Tianshu said: "Chengling!"

Zhang Chengling glanced at him, and said loudly: "I can't read well, and I can't tell any great truths. I just know that one person does one thing and one person is responsible. Even if Mr. Lu is really guilty, is there any reason to sit still? To say something disrespectful, even if it is Today's emperor has no reason to kill people from the nine clans at every turn, not to mention if he is really such a despicable and shameless person, how could he just..."

Lu Yuanwai sighed softly and interrupted him: "Nephew, thank you very much." After finishing speaking, he didn't make much excuses, and without saying a word, he took out a strange-looking iron fan from his arms, and raised his hand to ask Throw it at Tianling Gai.

Zhang Chengling: "No..."

With a touch, the epee came out of its sheath behind him, and opened the iron bone fan violently, but those masked men rushed up from behind him. Zhang Chengling bent down suddenly, spun the epee in his hand a few times, and smashed his head off. Many of the weapons were stuck behind him, and he yelled and bounced them all back.

Weapon choking?In one piece, a large space was immediately vacated at the gate of Lujiazhuang.

While Zhang Chengling is fighting with one enemy, he has to pay attention to Lu Yuanwai not to really kill himself. After a long time, he will inevitably feel a little flustered. Yes, the ending sound is tactful and playful, with endless meaning of ridicule.

Zhang Chengling was startled for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, his expression moved slightly, the corners of his mouth moved indiscernibly, and he said in a low voice, "Master?"

The man whistled, a little tune with a southern accent and a northern accent, brisk and mischievous, but for some reason, there seemed to be some kind of magical power in his voice, everyone couldn't help but stop, only thought that the ordinary whistle sound There seems to be a faint ghost-like ecstasy hidden in the book, and the mind will be unstable if it is slightly relaxed, and the inner breath will be churning, and there is a vague feeling of being obsessed.

Everyone was shocked. They saw two tall men walking side by side in the distance. The one who was whistling had a smile on his face and was wearing a crimson robe, while the other was wearing a soap robe. Walking aside with hands folded.

The man in red stopped whistling, and asked the people next to him with a smile: "I heard that your gentlemen like to gossip about other people's parents, tell me, which one is the golden flower flag that Sijizhuang wants?" How about a strange talk?"

The soap-robed man seemed a little unhappy when he heard this, and said coldly: "Even though Sijizhuang is not good enough, he doesn't have the hobby of putting diapers on his face."

Hearing this, the masked man in Jinhua immediately left Zhang Chengling behind and turned to the two men. One of them stepped out, seeming to be the leader, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

Everyone felt a blur in front of their eyes, and the man in the soap robe was suddenly no longer in place, his figure was unpredictable, and he approached in a blink of an eye, but without seeing him move, he stretched out his hand and took off the golden flowered cloth on the other's face, revealing A plain middle-aged man's face.

The middle-aged man had never seen such a heaven-defying kung fu, and he immediately backed away in shock.

The man in the soap robe sneered: "This level is worthy of being called Yi Rong? Is it also worthy of being called Four Seasons Village?" After speaking, he raised his hand again, and the movement was not fast, and the other party backed away very quickly, but somehow he didn't dodge it.

A human skin mask as thin as a cicada's wings was torn off by him, and there was a small piece of magnet at the neck and throat, which was said to be able to change a person's voice. "

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man was about to run away, but Li Ang, the black-clothed man who had been stunned by the side, took a step forward, stopped him, and said in disbelief, "Junior Brother Song, why is it you?"

The man in red who was whistling just now came to him at some point, put his hand on Zhang Chengling's shoulder, and said leisurely, "Hey, that black charcoal head, is there something wrong with your brain? Someone robbed your Tianyi Pavilion What are you doing with the token? I don’t even want it if it’s given to me for nothing, even children know that this kind of thing is done by the ghost.”

Li Ang couldn't believe it: "I clearly saw..."

The man in red laughed and said, "Your junior brother is right by your side. Didn't you also give him money to help you find an enemy? You were not killed by someone, you were stupid."

Li Ang collapsed: "Then why did he admit it?"

The man in red rolled his eyes and replied, "Because this Song saved his wife."

He glanced at the man in soap clothes, and said meaningfully: "If my wife is seriously ill and someone is willing to save her, I would go through fire and water for that person, let alone take the blame, Axu, you Say?"

Zao Yi didn't look up, turned around and left: "It's ridiculous! Still not leaving?"

"Hey, the head of the family has spoken, let's follow up." The man in red patted Zhang Chengling on the shoulder, and the two chased after him like a father leading a son.

The situation was reversed in an instant, and the voices of the spectators suddenly rose up. An inconspicuous man was stunned, and after a long time, he whispered: "Zhou... Zhuang Zhuang?"

He stomped his feet violently and ran after him, but there was no sign of that person?

He almost lost his soul and searched the whole Jiangbo Town for a day, but those two people seemed to be just his dream in Nankey, without a trace. Is Master Zhou alive?

Can anyone survive from being nailed by seven orifices and three autumns?

If it's him, maybe...

The man blankly remembered that year when he first entered the skylight, when he first saw the gentleman Zhou Zhuangzhu, he blurted out the wrong name, and the other party corrected him with a frown and a smile.

He shook his head, gave up on the search, and went back to report.

So what?

Will those who leave the skylight come back?

The rivers and lakes are in turmoil, but the sound of the sky is curling up, and it is no longer possible to distinguish the ins and outs.
