Jiaolong Jue

Su Yu finished the arrangements, and now he said goodbye to the God of Crocodile of the East Sea, supported his mother and Patriarch Yan Luo, and prepared to go to the big ship.

When he turned around, Lu Yun'er and Jiao'er were nowhere to be seen. Su Yu was worried, and hurriedly asked the person next to him. The waiter who led them out raised his hand and pointed into the sea.

Everyone saw that there was indeed the sound of rushing water, and a big dragon was coming from the back of two large ships at a high speed, cutting through the wind and waves. There was a person standing on it, dancing wildly in a white skirt, wearing a cloak, and his plump and pretty face was full of smile lines. A pair of big eyes, narrowed into a slit, is directing Jiao'er to circle and play in the water.

Fifty miles north from the mouth of the Yellow River, there is a wharf for ships leaving the Yellow River to Dadu to rest and transfer goods.

This pier used to be owned by Fanjiang Nilong, but now it has changed owners.

It was just dark, and lights were already lit in the post station next to the pier.

In the middle of several houses, there were occasional sounds of quarreling.

After hearing a burst of chatter, someone raised his voice and shouted:

"Everyone, don't argue, I've already told you that although the beggar gang has hurt our brothers, our Quanzhen sect is the largest sect in the world. As the head teacher of our Quanzhen sect, Zhang Zhenren is open-minded and magnificent. , didn't intend to be enemies with you, but just wanted to befriend Ling Jiutian, the leader of your Beggar Clan, but he refused to come when I invited him many times!

I have no choice but to bring you here today, hoping that Gang Leader Ling can come, and then meet my Quanzhen Sect head teacher Zhang Zhenren!

As long as Leader Ling is willing to agree to be friends with our Quanzhen Sect, we will release you immediately!So we have no ill will towards you!Hope you all stay safe! "

As soon as the man finished speaking, someone questioned: "You said that your head teacher wants to make friends with our beggar gang leader? That's impossible! Our beggar gang leader Ling is an indomitable hero! A man who is a dog! How could he be friends with you Zhang Zhenren?"

Another person said: "Yes! If our leader Ling refuses to agree, what will you do with us?"

Immediately, a series of sneering laughter was heard:

"Our Quanzhen sect bows down. If you Master Ling doesn't know how to praise and refuses to cooperate with us, then don't blame us! At that time, not only you will not be able to live! Even Ling Jiutian will not be able to live! So, you have to If you want to survive, when he comes to ask for someone, you must persuade him well and let him agree to cooperate with us! Then everyone will be fine!"

Then, there was another quarrel mixed with verbal abuse.

The man said angrily again: "If you don't cooperate like this, you will have to die together! None of you will survive! Hmph!"

After all, the wooden door was opened, and a figure flashed out, followed by two people, who were about to close the door, when they heard an old voice in the room, trembling and shouting loudly:

"Several elders, don't panic! My old beggar has something to say! Something to say! Cough cough"

The person in the lead hesitated a little at the door, and then gave an order to the person behind him. The person agreed, and turned back into the room. Not long after, he dragged a hunched figure out of the door, and then Close the door.

The leading Taoist looked at the man up and down, only to see that he was hunched over, dressed in rags, and coughing continuously.

The leading Taoist priest covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve in disgust, and asked:

"What do you want to say to me? Tell me quickly!"

The old beggar coughed so much that his face was black and red, he rubbed his dim eyes full of gum with his hands, and said with a flattering smile:

"Guys, I've forgotten my tuba name for a long time! My nickname is: Old Bug. Everyone in the beggar gang knows my name! And I'm of a high seniority. He and Gang Leader Ling respect me very much..."

Before he could finish his ramblings, the leading Taoist was already impatient, frowned and shouted:

"We are very busy, how can we have time to listen to you! Is there anything else? Say it quickly, and lock it in the house if you don't!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to shake his hands and leave, but the old bug hurried up to grab him, saying:

"Yes, yes, I have something very important to tell your headmaster! Take me to him now! Cough cough"

Before the leading Taoist priest could speak, the one next to him opened his mouth and reprimanded: "You old bastard, if you have something to say, tell our senior brother! You still want to see our teacher! You don't even look at what a bear you are!"

The old bedbug was choked by him so that his face was the color of a pig's liver. He coughed a few times before panting:

"If you want Master Ling to cooperate with you, you must let me meet your head teacher! I have my own way! Otherwise, relying on your tricks will be useless at all! Cough cough"

The Taoist next to him was about to reprimand him again, but the leading Taoist raised his hand to stop him, then turned his head to look at the old bug, with a teasing smile on his face and said:

"Old bug, I can take you to meet our head teacher! But if you can't get Ling Jiutian to agree to cooperate with us! At that time, I will make you die ugly!"

The old bug nodded hastily.

Only then did the leading Taoist priest lead him out of the yard, towards the two-storey dark wooden building at the back, while the other two Taoist priests stood guard at the door.

When he arrived at the gate of the wooden building, the Taoist asked him to wait at the gate, pushed the door open and went in. After a while, he came out again, looked up and down at the old bedbug with a hunched body, reclining at the gate of the wooden building, frowned, hesitated for a long time, and then take him into the house.

In the middle of the room, at this time, there is an old man with white hair and beard, wearing the crown of the Five Sacred Mountains on his head, wearing a fairy robe, holding a purple gold dragon whisk, sitting cross-legged on a futon, with his eyes slightly closed, meditating and cultivating.

The Taoist made an announcement in a low voice, and then signaled that the old bug had seen him.

The old bug hurried over, and said: "Old bug from the beggar gang, meet the old god!"

Zhang Zhenren only felt a sour smell go straight to the top of his head, he couldn't help frowning, opened his eyes slightly, and saw the old bedbug covered in sludge next to him.

He frowned and said: "Just now my disciple said that you have a way to get Ling Jiutian to cooperate with my Quanzhen Sect, but is it true? If there is a way, just tell it straight, Pindao will not treat you badly!"

The old bug didn't wait for Zhang Zhenren to give up his seat, "Plop" sat down on the ground opposite Zhang Zhenren, clapped his hands and coughed a few times, then squinted his eyes and said with a smile:

"People say you are an old god, but if you want to use this method to blackmail Chief Ling today, it is a big mistake. It is outrageous! At that time, not only will Chief Ling not be friends with you, but in the end, he may Become an enemy! Hehe"

Zhang Zhenren couldn't hear it quickly, he frowned and was about to speak, but he heard someone hurriedly coming from outside the door, and said: "Report to Master, Ling Jiutian, the leader of the Beggar Clan, wants to see you!"

Zhang Zhenren's face changed slightly, and he said, "How many people have they come?"

The man said again: "In total, one person rides one!"

After hearing this, Zhang Zhenren snorted coldly and said: "This man is really arrogant! You go and gather all the disciples and wait in front of the courtyard gate, I will meet him in person!"

The man promised, turned around and left, Zhenren Zhang also stood up and floated out without thinking about the old bug.

After a long time, I heard someone walking back.

He looked gloomy, and when he came to the door, he saw the old bedbug still lying on the ground, using a pair of dirty black hands to catch lice in his arms. When he came in, the old bedbug just caught one. , Throwing it directly into the mouth with joy, chewing "creakingly".

The man didn't feel sick for a while, and he didn't feel good about it, so he quickly squeezed out a smile, raised his hand and said:

"Old man, just now Pindao went out to meet Chief Ling, he really treated you slowly, how offended you are! Hehe"

Only then did the old bug see Zhenren Zhang, and seeing his expression, he had guessed a bit, and without getting up, he threw a big bug into his mouth, chewed it, and said:

"How is it? Old Immortal, I told you just now that you are still not convinced! Hehe, have you hit your nose right now?"

Master Zhang also lost the air he had just now, and hurriedly said:

"Alas! As the old man said, this Ling Jiutian really doesn't take hard and soft! I have no choice but to release all the members of the Beggar Gang! It's a troubled time now. When the court employs people, I love talents, so I can't bear to hurt him. I wonder if there is any good way for the old man to persuade him to join the imperial court?"

The old bug then got up, rubbed his stomach, smashed it, said:

"Oh, it's too late! I'm hungry too! Time to go! Goodbye, old bug! Goodbye! Cough cough"

After all, pretend to go out.

Zhang Zhenren hastily stepped forward to hold him back, and said with a smile: "Old man, don't rush to leave! It's all because of a poor man who made a mistake in his busy schedule, so I'll wait for you! I'll let someone set up a banquet for you and welcome the old man!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and gave instructions outside the door, someone had already agreed to go out and make arrangements.

Not long after, the arrangement was ready.

Zhang Zhenren took the old bug to the next room, and saw a large square table in the middle, with cups and plates lined up, and the table was already full of delicious food.

The old bedbug narrowed his eyes with joy, rubbed his hands, went up and grabbed a chicken leg, and started chewing. Before the chicken leg was finished, he reached out and grabbed a braised pig's trotter, gnawing on it with a mouth full of oil. , stewed soup and saliva dripped onto the table.

He ate up both, and then he took a sip of the oily water on his fingers with his mouth, and hurriedly tore off half of the steamed duck. He was about to eat, when he saw Zhang Zhenren coming to pour him wine, he couldn't help it, and hurriedly put it in his hand. Handed the duck to Zhenren Zhang and said, "Old Immortal, this is for you to eat!"

Seeing him grabbing the duck with his oily black hands, Zhenren Zhang felt nauseous for a while, reluctantly held back, and forced a smile:

"Being a vegetarian in poverty, you old man can use it slowly!"

After hearing this, the old bug nodded hastily, muttered a few words, and then stuffed half of the duck into his mouth, chewing until it was glistening.

Seeing that he had already eaten most of the food on the table and was about to drink up the whole pot of wine, Zhenren Zhang said:

"Old man, I don't know any wonderful method, can you tell me about it with the poor Taoist?"

The old bug took the last sip of wine and drank it with his neck up. Then he rubbed his round belly, hiccupped, and panted:

"Old Immortal! I am most familiar with the temper of our leader! You can't be tough when dealing with him, you have to be soft and tough!"

Zhang Zhenren said: "But the poor Taoist did not insist! No matter how much I discuss with him, he just refuses to agree? What should I do?"

The old bug swayed the greasy mafia:

"I'm speaking hard and soft. It's not that you talk to him, but the people inside our beggar gang should persuade him. That's all right!"

Zhang Zhenren hurriedly said: "Does the old man mean that you go to persuade him?"

The old bug waved his hands and said with an awkward smile: "I'm just an old beggar with no position and no authority! Of course it's not me! He listens to our Changmei hall master the most! It would be much better if he came forward to persuade him!"

Master Zhang listened, and said: "But I don't know this person, will he persuade Ling Jiutian for me?"

The old bug didn't speak anymore, just wandered around with the empty flagon.

Immediately, Zhenren Zhang understood, and hurriedly asked someone to serve another pot of wine, and Zhenren Zhang filled it up for him himself.

The old bug took a sip carefully and said:

"Our long-browed hall master is also very stinky! If he is directly asked to persuade Ling gang leader to attach himself to the court, he will definitely not do it! However, he hates one person in particular recently. If we can help him, separate that person from Ling gang leader He will definitely cooperate with us!"

Zhang Zhenren thought about it: "Who is that person you are talking about?"

"That person's name is Su Yu, the old god must know it too!"

Master Zhang nodded and said: "Of course I know this person! I don't know what misunderstanding he has with your Changmei hall master? Why do you hate him so much!"

While savoring the wine carefully, the old bug detailed the entanglements between the Changmei hall master, Su Yu and Lu Yun'er.
