Dragon Fate of Shan Hai Ji

At noon, Le Yue walked slowly on the main street of Fengze Town, looking at the pedestrians on the street.The weather in early March is neither cold nor hot, the sky is like sapphire, the clouds are like tulle, the willows are fresh green and peach blossoms are blooming, and the spring will make people drunk.

Le Yue intends to find a suitable person and "kindly" "persuade" him to join the Qingshan faction temporarily. He didn't want to make too much publicity, and just caught one or two passers-by on the small road. I didn't see a suitable person, so I had to come to a town with more people.

The town at the foot of Shaoqing Mountain was originally called Longze Town. According to legend, many years ago, a passing dragon god rescued a severe drought by raining privately. The name of the city is also called Longze Town.Later, the imperial court stopped worshiping the Dragon God, and the Dragon God Temple was smashed up and changed into an Earth Temple, and Longze Town was renamed Fengze Town.

Fengze Town is very lively these days, because the Martial Arts Conference will be held in a few days. Most of the sects who come from other places live in the inns in the town, and there are many leisure people who come to watch this grand event.Knights wielding swords, rich princes in brocade robes and jade belts, high-spirited heroic youths, ordinary people in rough clothes and short shirts, and even delicate and bright Jianghu girls, come and go on the street.

Le Yue observed and weighed calmly, and finally stopped his gaze at a small steamed stuffed bun stall not far from him.

A disheartened scholar was standing by the side of the stall, accosting the owner of the steamed stuffed bun stall politely: "... I just passed by this town, but I saw that the passers-by were unusual, and I heard that there would be a grand event nearby, so I took the liberty to inquire about it." One or two, may I ask what Shenghui is?"

The scholar was wearing a half-worn cloth shirt and carrying a bookcase, exuding a poor air. It happened to be lunch time, and there were many customers coming and going in front of the steamed stuffed bun stall. The stall owner was busy greeting him. He didn't even buy one, so he didn't bother to talk to him, and let him ask nonsense, just pretending that he didn't hear.

The Discourse on Martial Arts Conference is almost well-known in the world, but this person inquired with a confused face, which shows that he has never seen the world.And this scholar looks not only poor, but also a bit dull.Le Yue said in his heart, um, it's him.

Le Yue pretended to casually walk to the steamed stuffed bun stall, deliberately stood beside the scholar, and shouted to the stall owner: "Two vegetable buns." When picking up the steamed stuffed bun, he pretended to slip his hand and hit the scholar hard.

Le Yue immediately turned sideways with an apologetic expression on his face, held up the steamed stuffed bun and cupped his fists at the scholar: "Young Master, I'm sorry." The scholar hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Young Xia should have slipped his hands for a while, so it's fine."

Le Yue smiled apologetically and said: "Your Excellency is really magnanimous, so how about it..." He took out a bun from the oil-paper bag in his hand, and handed the other one still in the paper bag to the scholar, "This bun is only used as a gift. It's my apology, son, don't feel shabby."

The scholar hurriedly waved his hand again and said, "I have just had lunch down there, so you don't have to be polite."

Le Yue let out a groan, took the bun back, and continued to strike up a conversation with the scholar: "Your accent, you don't look like a local, and you're carrying a bag. You're also here to see the Martial Arts Conference."

The scholar's eyes lit up: "It turns out that the grand meeting here is the Martial Arts Conference. I have heard of the Martial Arts Conference and have admired it for a long time, but I don't know the exact place and time. My trip is to the capital to participate It’s such a coincidence that I never thought that I would encounter such a grand event unintentionally during the scientific examination.”

Le Yue immediately complimented him politely: "My lord, you came to Beijing to rush for the exam? No wonder you are full of gentleness, which is very different from rough people like us."

The scholar also politely smiled and said: "Where is that? As the saying goes, you are a scholar who is useless. I have only read a few books of sages. Compared with young heroes like young heroes who are willing to fight for justice, I am really ashamed." .”

Le Yue followed modestly and said: "Young Master, you have won the prize." After a few more babbles, he found out that the scholar's surname is Du, and he is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I have to rush back to the division, Mr. Du, let me take my leave first, and see you at the Martial Arts Conference." Pretending to turn around and leave.

After walking four or five steps, I heard Du Shusheng say from behind: "Le Shaoxia, please stop, I still have something to ask."

Le Yue stopped and turned around, smiling: "Mr. Du, please tell me."

Du Shusheng asked hesitantly: "I don't know when the Martial Arts Conference will be held, and where exactly is it?"

Yue Yue said: "Two days later, on the tenth day of March, at the top of Fengya Mountain, more than ten miles south of the city. However, Mr. Du, I would venture to ask, do you have a place to live and a meeting ticket? Now the inn in the city All of them are full of people, and the Martial Arts Conference requires spectator posts to watch the whole audience. Those who don’t have any posts are irrelevant. At most, they can only watch the first round of competitions between the disciples of each faction on the first day. But I can't see it."

Du Shusheng was stunned, and gradually had a look of regret: "Then, what's the matter? No wonder I found a few inns, and they all said there were no vacancies. Let alone whether it will be a grand event or not, it's hard to find a place to live now." Le Shaoxia, I don’t know if there are any ruined temples and abandoned houses nearby, as long as there is a tile to cover your head. If there is really no inn to stay in, I will just go and stay there for a night.”

Le Yue said: "Oh, right now, even the place is definitely full of people, and I'm afraid it has already been occupied by gangs such as the Beggars' Gang, and outsiders can't live there." Frowning in thought, he said for a moment, "Well... my teacher The gate is right here, or Mr. Du, you can go back to our sect with me to stay overnight. Oh, yes, our sect will also participate in the martial arts conference. If you pretend to be a disciple of our sect, or you can Watch a full field discussion on martial arts."

He stared at the scholar surnamed Du with burning eyes, and Shusheng Du looked a little hesitant: "But, this is too much trouble for Le Shaoxia and Ling Shimen."

Le Yue hurriedly said: "No trouble, no trouble."

Maybe he was happy for a while and spoke too eagerly. Du Shusheng looked at him suddenly with a trace of doubt and precaution: "Le Shaoxia, do you..."

Le Yue was thinking about how to get rid of his doubts, when he suddenly heard a voice not far behind him saying slowly: "Is it against the morals of the world to cheat rashly in broad daylight?"

Although the tone was gentle and flat, there was a vague aura, the hairs on Le Yue's back stood on end, and he was startled suddenly, this voice was really familiar.

The Qingxuan faction and our Qingshan faction are really incompatible, and they only pick critical moments to find bad luck.

Le Yue turned around fiercely, ready to sneer and ask back, why did brother Luo say such words to slander me in broad daylight?But when he turned around, he found that these words did not seem to be addressed to him.

In the middle of the street behind him, a group of people gathered at some time, Le Yue moved in there, and through the cracks in the crowd, he saw a few middle-aged men standing in the middle of the crowd, with mischievous eyes and wretched faces, he looked like he was not a kind person , Two or three of them on the left and right showed their weapons and pointed at the person on the opposite side.That man was Le Yue's old enemy Luo Lingzhi. He was holding the wrist of the big man with one hand, his brows were slightly gathered, but his expression was still gentle. The clearest stream in the spring breeze.

Le Yue's eyes fell on the person behind Luo Ling, and his eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

The man was wearing a light shirt, wearing silk shoes, and waving a folding fan. He looked like a rich man, but Le Yue could tell at a glance that "he" was a girl disguised as a man.

Le Yue always thought that Shishi, the oiran from Xinghualou in Fengze Town, was the most beautiful woman in the world, but at this moment, looking at the girl in front of him, he suddenly realized that he was just a toad in a dry well. , I climbed up the edge of the well and saw the vast blue sky.The girl's facial features are radiant and brilliant, surpassing all colors.

Le Yue looked at the situation in front of him again, and realized.

Presumably these wretched men also saw that the girl was disguised as a man, intending to go forward to cheat and tease, so Luo Lingzhi stepped forward at the right moment, and rescued the beauty as a righteous hero.

Tsk, he can always find such a good thing in time.

Le Yue glanced at those wretched men again, knowing that they were definitely not Luo Lingzhi's opponents. It seemed that it was not his turn to intervene in this scene, so Le Yue was about to leave regretfully and continue with his business.

The girl disguised as a man seemed to have noticed him, looked at Le Yue, and blinked her bright eyes.There was a loud shout from the crowd, and those men who had unleashed their weapons had already rushed towards Luo Lingzhi. Luo Ling still clasped the hands of the big man in the head with one hand, and waved his sleeves to resist with the other. His figure was calm and elegant, as if With ease.

Le Yue was too lazy to look any further, and turned around to look for Du Shusheng just now, but couldn't find him anywhere.Just as he was about to ask the stall owner on the side of the road, someone suddenly approached from behind, and then something knocked him on the shoulder. "Hello!"
