[Liao Zhai + Lu Xiaofeng] Gossip in Jianghu

When the news of Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng's upcoming decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City spread, the entire capital city suddenly became like a pot of boiling water, and there was a commotion. There are too many heroes to bet on.

In order not to attract crowds, Ye Gucheng resolutely parted ways with Lu Xiaofeng as soon as he arrived in the capital.On the other hand, Baolan and Baijing talked happily with Baolan along the way, feeling a bit reluctant to leave.

"I'll come to play with you after my mouse settles down." Bai Jing waved goodbye to Baolan.

Baolan nodded, waved her hand and said, "Okay."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help laughing and said: "The friendship between you women is really fast, just talking about food and clothing and you have become bosom friends."

Baolan didn't agree with Lu Xiaofeng's words, and retorted: "Women can often find out whether they share similar interests through simple and ordinary things. You men are faster, and you can call each other brothers after a glass of fine wine."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "You are becoming more and more sharp-tongued now."

Baolan muttered dissatisfiedly: "I'm telling the truth."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled, patted Baolan's head fondly, and drove the carriage out of the city. After a while, he arrived at a long-abandoned kiln, one after another was full of dust. It's like a barren tomb.

Baolan trembled, "Lu Xiaofeng, what are we doing here?"

Lu Xiaofeng didn't answer her words, but looked towards a corner not far away.After a while, a thin, short, and big-headed weirdo suddenly appeared in that corner, riding a mule, staggering over, before the man arrived, he smelled a smell of alcohol from a distance, this People seem to never wake up.

"This person is Master Sun, he can lead us to Dazhi Datong, and only he can lead us to Dazhi Datong." Lu Xiaofeng knew Baolan's doubts, so he explained.

"Great Wisdom and Chase?"

"These two know everything about Jianghu."

Baolan nodded in understanding, and sighed: "So there really is such a strange person."

"Lu Xiaofeng, long time no see!" Mr. Sun greeted as he wobbled down from his mule.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "There is money to be made, but you run pretty fast."

Master Sun chuckled, "If you don't have any money, where can you get wine?" Suddenly seeing Baolan at the side, Master Sun teased, "Yo, you're married to a daughter-in-law."

Baolan's face turned red immediately, Lu Xiaofeng smiled noncommittally, and suddenly asked: "Where are the two old gentlemen from Dazhi Datong?"

Master Sun pointed to a nearby cave dwelling, "It's in there."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's still the old rule, you can only wait outside, you can't go in?"

Master Sun nodded, bent down and got into the cave, the cave was low and dark, at first Lu Xiaofeng was worried that Master Sun wouldn't be able to get in, but after a while, he finally got in.

Not long after, I heard his voice coming from inside: "Let's start asking."

So Lu Xiaofeng asked the first question, "The battle on September [-]th, do you think Ximen Chuuxue will win, or Ye Gucheng?"

"Neither of them will win this battle." This was Dazhi's voice, which Lu Xiaofeng had heard before.

"why?"

"When two tigers fight, one must be injured. Although this saying is old, it is not correct." Dazhi then replied: "The result of two tigers fighting is usually that both tigers will be injured. Only those who can really win A hunter waiting to watch."

Lu Xiaofeng listened quietly, approval appeared in his eyes.He felt that "great wisdom" is indeed worthy of "great wisdom", and only those who have truly great wisdom know how to use such a clever method to answer questions.

"Who is the most powerful bow and arrow master in the Jianghu?" Lu Xiaofeng continued to ask.

There was silence in the cave for a while before an answer came: "It should be the Bat Boy from Bat Island. I heard that he can use bows and arrows to kill people thousands of miles away." , He never had a kind of indescribable experience.

"Who is Batboy?"

"Yes..." Chase's answer was suddenly interrupted by a strange sucking sound.

"Who is Mr. Bat?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again, but there was no response from the cave.

Lu Xiaofeng's complexion suddenly changed, and he called out loudly: "Master Sun, Mr. Gui grandson!"

There was still no response, and there was not even a sound in the cave.Lu Xiaofeng jumped up suddenly, and kicked down hard, the already crumbling brick kiln was immediately broken by his kick.

The moonlight shone in through the hole, and happened to shine on Master Sun's face.His face was completely pale and distorted, his protruding eyes like a dead fish were full of fear, his bones protruded, and his whole body seemed to have shrunk in half, but there were two spots of blood on his throat, and the blood on his body was soaked in an instant. Something sucks dry.

"There's a bat!" Baolan saw a black bat hidden under the brick kiln, and immediately drew out the mahogany sword and stabbed it. The bat was stabbed by the mahogany sword, and immediately fell silent with a howl.

Baolan looked in the cave again, "Where are Dazhi and Datong?"

Lu Xiaofeng was silent, and after a long time, he said slowly: "There are no two people, Datong and Dazhi."

Baolan was stunned.He didn't really understand, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Datong is Master Sun, Dazhi is also him."

Baolan said: "The three of them are originally one person?"

Lu XiaoFeng nodded.

Baolan said: "But their voices..."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "There are many people who can change their voices, and some people can even make the sounds of seventeen or eight people fighting in a room with a large group of cats and dogs at the same time."

Baolan didn't ask further, there are many strange people and strange things in Jianghu, and he has seen many of them.

"It's a bat again! It seems that the person who killed Master Sun is the same person behind the murder of the seven master swordsmiths!" Baolan said angrily.

Lu Xiaofeng clenched his fists and said word for word: "No matter who he is, no matter what secrets he has, I will find out sooner or later."

Baolan murmured: "Bat Island... I feel that these things have something to do with Bat Island."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, suddenly remembered something, "Let's go, I still have a question to ask Ximen Chuuxue."

"Do you know where Ximen Chuuxue is?"

"If Ximen Chuuxue wanted to hide her whereabouts in the capital, she would definitely be there."

The place Lu Xiaofeng mentioned was a bamboo grove in the suburbs, and the bamboo grove was full of strange things. It took them two hours to get out, and walked along the path for a while before they saw a quaint small courtyard. A four-year-old girl is practicing swordplay. Her skin is more snowy than snow, her eyebrows are delicate and charming, she is wearing a light yellow long brocade dress and a light purple open gauze dress. The clothes have a sense of shimmering flow.

Seeing them, the girl had a look of surprise on her face, "Baolan! Lu Xiaofeng!"

Baolan and Lu Xiaofeng looked at each other, not knowing how to react.The girl seemed to know them, but they didn't have the slightest impression of her.

The girl ran up to them and said with a smile, "It's me, Qianqian, Shen Qianqian."

"Shen Qianqian!" Baolan opened her mouth wide in surprise, "But I haven't seen you for more than a month, why have you grown up so much?"

Shen Qianqian pouted dissatisfiedly and said: "I used to look like this. I used to be able to maintain the appearance of a child because of my greatly damaged skills. In the past month or so, Master bought me a lot of thousand-year-old ginseng, so I Then it returned to its current appearance. Does it look good?" As she spoke, Shen Qianqian turned around in a circle, her clothes fluttering, smart and cute.

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his mustache and said with a meaningful smile: "You look good, Ximen Chuuxue is still used to your current appearance?"

Shen Qianqian curled her lips, "When I changed from the black iron avatar to what I am now ten days ago, Master hid in the room and avoided me for two days and two nights. Thanks to my hard work, Master accepted me. .You don’t need to make any fuss for a while, I’m afraid I’ll scare Master again.”

Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows, "You really think about your master." Suddenly a smirk broke out on Lu Xiaofeng's face, and he deliberately amplified his voice: "Now Qianqian, you are also a slim girl, why don't Brother Lu take you out to meet her?" Seeing the world, how about finding a good son-in-law?"

As expected by Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuuxue really pushed the door out from the house, and said with a bad expression, "Lu Xiaofeng, why did you come to see me?"

Lu Xiaofeng restrained his indecent smile and asked, "You and Ye Gucheng are really going to compete on September [-]th at the Forbidden Summit?"

Ximen Chuuxue was noncommittal.

"Is it the letter of challenge you issued to him?"

"Of course not. Master lost a lot of internal energy in order to save me and has not fully recovered yet. How could it be possible to send a letter of war during this period of time? It was the letter sent by Ye Gucheng to Wanmei Villa half a month ago. I wonder if he got some rumors and wants to take advantage of others." Shen Qianqian complained.

Baolan was surprised and said: "But Ye Gucheng said that you sent him the battle post."

Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "This matter is really strange."

Lu Xiaofeng told Ximen Chuuxue about the process of Ye Gucheng's arrival in Beijing and Master Sun's murder, and persuaded him: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins. It's better not to go to this martial arts competition."

Ximen Chuuxue's face showed unchangeable firmness, "No matter who posted the post, since Ye Gucheng has arrived in the capital, I must go to the Forbidden Summit in two days' time."

Lu Xiaofeng knew that his friend had made up his mind and would not change it, so he stopped talking.

Ximen Chuuxue suddenly said to Shen Qianqian: "Qianqian, Master wants to eat some oranges, you go and pick some."

Shen Qianqian was very obedient, so she turned around and went outside to pick oranges.

"Lu Xiaofeng, if I fail unfortunately, you can take care of Qianqian for me."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled forcedly, "Even if you lose, you don't necessarily have to die."

Ximen Chuuxue said coldly: "If you lose the battle, you can only die!" The expression on his face became cold and proud again.He can accept death, but he cannot accept failure!

Lu Xiaofeng stared at Ximen Chuuxue, and sighed: "I always thought you were not a human, but a kind of half-mad and half-crazy god, but now you have human nature because of Shen Qianqian."

Ximen Chuuxue looked at Shen Qianqian who was bouncing around in the forest looking for oranges outside the house, his eyes were curved, and there was a subtle warmth on his face.

Baolan couldn't help thinking, even gods may fall for love, so who in this world can completely get rid of the shackles of emotion.
