Under the sky
Chapter 345 Side Story: True Purple
Chapter 345 Side Story: True Purple
Kunlun in the summer of May 83
Weeds almost cover the path, and half of the gravel is exposed, making every step unsteady.
"I'll carry you on my back." The man wearing a curtain said to the girl holding his hand, "Be careful with your sprained feet."
The girl with a beautiful face gave a soft "hmm", climbed up on the strong man's back, and put her hands around his chest.Another thin man wearing a curtain scratched his chin and continued to lead the way.
The area from Yudi to Hubei is flat, and Xiangyang is an important waterway. There are many roads to walk on, but these three people chose to take a less traveled path.
As luck would have it, six more strong men came towards them, scattered in two lines. From their steady steps and the weapons on their backs, it could be seen that they had learned martial arts.
The three of them immediately became wary. The man carrying the young woman on his back slowed down and gave way, while the other man stepped forward.
When the two groups of men and horses were at odds with each other, the six strong men suddenly moved their hands.
"Run!" The thin man wearing a curtain shouted, and the strong man carrying the young woman on his back quickly ran out.Before the opponent could draw his weapon, the thin man punched the two strong men in the face with two left and right punches.
A large net is thrown under the sky to catch prisoners. Fishing nets are extremely useful. Once trapped, it is difficult to move, and they can be captured alive.The thin man took off the curtain and threw it into the air. The force of the throw was so strong that the fishing net was caught and flew out.
The slender man showed his bald head and turned out to be a monk. He slapped the stabbing dagger with his left hand and hit the opponent's throat with his right hand, causing the man to squat on the ground with his hands covering his throat and unable to breathe.
He was merciless, as long as this palm hit him half an inch higher, he could suffocate the opponent to death.
Once the move was successful, he kicked the other person in the chest. The other person was about to block when the kick suddenly turned and swept from the right, hitting his forehead. The person staggered two steps and fell to the ground.
The remaining two people drew their swords at the same time.The monk raised his palms together, using the left and right piercing hands in Shaolin martial arts, dividing, turning, releasing, and striking. He spread the arms of the two people, and thrust out both fists. It seemed to hit them head-on, but his arms suddenly sank, hitting the two people. The pain in their chest and abdomen made the two of them fall to their knees.
"Don't follow, or you will be killed!" The monk said harshly and quickly caught up with his companions.
"Senior Brother Liao Jing, are you okay?" The strong man carrying the girl on his back wiped the sweat from his forehead in concern.
"Take off the curtain, it will be eye-catching whether you wear it or not." Liao Jing complained, "Two big bald heads and a girl, what is not eye-catching?"
After leaving Shaolin, Liao Jing caught up with Ben Song and Yuan Zhixuan.Ben Song was seriously injured and hid in a hotel with Yuan Zhixuan to recuperate.
Shaolin's wanted man soon followed. Anyone who picks melons knows that melons must be picked while they are ripe.When a wanted order is first issued, fugitives are often still within the country, which is when they are easiest to hunt.
Ming Wuxiang was right. Without Luo Jing, they wouldn't even be able to get out of Yudi.
Ben Song took off the curtain and handed it to Yuan Zhixuan to shade him: "The sun is strong, thank you for your hard work."
"The hardest days are over." Yuan Zhixuan said softly.
The saddest thing about escorting the elopement lovers was the care they inadvertently showed for each other.Liao Jing couldn't understand why Yuan Zhixuan, who came from a wealthy family, fell in love with Ben Song because he was not good-looking.
It was hard to ask Miss Yuan about this, so I had to ask Ben Song privately.
"I don't know, I never thought about it." Ben Song shook his head, "I just know that I fell in love with Miss Yuan at the first sight."
"Miss Yuan is beautiful." Liao Jing concluded angrily.
"I was still young at that time. Although there were many people in the Buddha's capital, and there were even more people on Buddha's birthday, I only remember this face..." Ben Song was not good at words and spoke very straightforwardly, "I don't know why. I saw it once and I just remember it. From now on, every year on the Buddha’s birthday, no matter how many believers visit the Buddha, I will always find Miss Yuan.”
On the contrary, the Buddhist capital has a large population, and there are tens of thousands of believers on the birthday of the Buddha. The girl who usually never leaves the house can only take this opportunity to breathe.Bensong is an incense monk who is responsible for praying for believers. Although Yuan Zhixuan is beautiful, she is not the kind of peerless beauty who is unforgettable at first sight.
Liao Jing scratched his head. He didn't understand this, but he knew that Yuan Zhixuan would not regret eloping.Even if you marry the son of a wealthy family, being beaten like this is definitely not a good life.
He really shouldn't flee to Hubei. The road is too flat and he could be easily captured. It would be faster and more secret to flee to Gufendi.But with Ben Song's ability, going to the lonely graveyard would be a dead end.
Liao Jing defeated two groups of pursuing disciples and six sea arresters along the way before arriving in Wudang. Yuan Zhixuan took the two of them to seek refuge with her cousin who worked in Wudang. However, although this cousin had always taken care of his cousin, he could not take them in.
"You've revealed your whereabouts, and many people are looking for you on the street. Especially this head is eye-catching, and since I have a relationship with my cousin, sooner or later I will be found."
My cousin is right, and the Xiangyang Gang in western Hubei is responsible for the best security in Wudang, but it is also dangerous.
"You have to hide at least until your hair grows out before you can come back," my cousin said.
It would take several years. Liao Jing thought that he could not protect Bensong for so long, so he could only take Bensong and Yuan Zhixuan to temporarily flee to Huidi.
When they were in the most difficult situation, Ye Bang took the initiative to find them.
"Master Liao Jing is really good at hiding. It took us a month to find him." The person who spoke was the shopkeeper Ye from Ye Bang. He used the disguise technique and couldn't see his true appearance in the weak firelight in the dark night.Liao Jing was guarding Ben Song and Yuan Zhixuan behind him, and was on guard against shopkeeper Ye's four subordinates, planning to capture the shopkeeper as a hostage if necessary.
"Master Bensong just pays it back. The case is small and there is a reward of 20 taels. Find a secret place to hide for a year or two and no one will care about it. Master Jingjing is a bit tricky. You are worth 100 taels. Without shelter, you will not be allowed to live for three to five years." Safe.”
Liao Jing knew what he said was true, but still refused the night list's invitation: "I won't join the night list."
After all, he couldn't do the business of killing people to make money, and the work was too tiring, hiding here and there, with nowhere to settle down, which was too inconsistent with his temperament.
Since they are all hiding in Tibet, why join the night list?
"They say they send Buddha to the west. Master Liaojing also thinks about your two friends. It's a long way from Hubei to Hui. If we give up halfway, won't all our efforts be wasted?" Shopkeeper Ye said with a smile. , "The night list can guarantee that two people will be sent to Huidi, and it can also help three people get good citizen certificates and settle down."
If the nine families want to move, they need to ask for a good citizen certificate from the original sect to show that they are not criminally involved and are not wanted. This certificate is required before they can settle down and purchase land.If you can't settle down, you will end up being an outsider and you will have a lot of troubles.
It costs a lot of money to get a good citizen certificate.
"Ye Bang is so kind?" Liao Jing asked, "I don't have any money."
"You three can repay the night list in another way." Shopkeeper Ye said, "You can be the needle of the night list."
Liao Jing was taken aback, and Ben Song hurriedly said: "We just want to live a stable life and don't want to cause trouble!"
Shopkeeper Ye said: "I'm afraid of getting into trouble and it's hard to even be stable."
There are almost no options on the net.
■
The long pole made ripples on the river, and the boatman softly hummed a boat song.
Ben Song and Yuan Zhixuan were placed outside Taiping Town. Ye Bang obtained good citizen certificates for them and bought a piece of poor land so that they could live a stable life.
The day we entered Ludi was very ordinary. It was a sunny day with shimmering waves, but it didn't look comfortable.It was July at the beginning of autumn, and it was stuffy, hot, and sticky. I lay down on the edge of the boat, poured water on my neck with both hands, and put my hands into my collar to wipe it, and then I hid under the canopy of the boat to escape the heat. .
No matter how much water there is in the river, it's not as cool as the Sutra Pavilion, Ling Jing thought.
Although he had left the Shaolin Temple for three months, he was still in a trance. When he woke up, he often wondered where he was. Why was he in a tent or an inn instead of the monk's residence he was used to?
He missed senior brother Liao Bin who lived with him.
Liao Bin is also a monk of Wenshu Monastery. He is a bookworm and loves chanting sutras. Liao Jing falls asleep to the sound of his chanting sutras every day and is awakened by the sound of sutras every day.After reciting the sutra, Liao Bin would attend morning classes at Wenshu Monastery and recite the sutra one more time.
Apart from chanting sutras, Liao Bin used his mouth not only to eat but also to curse lay monks.
Liao Bin does not speak profanity. Except for Master Jueru and the brothers who were taught bad things by Master, most of the righteous monks do not speak profanity.But the righteous monks will always come up with twists and turns to curse lay monks. One is considered polite, such as Chanti, those who slander Buddha, etc. Others, such as monks with six roots and bald heads, are just fine. The word "pair of eyes" means horse eyes. Through the asshole, that's really vulgar.
Although Liao Bin was not so vulgar, he always muttered and scolded the lay monks. That was almost the most important thing he did besides chanting sutras.
Even if you are full of resentment and recite sutras diligently, can you really understand the Dharma by practicing this way?
The ship did not arrive at the pier, but docked on the river beach, more than a foot high from the road on the shore. "After entering Weihu Lake, there is Lu Di. There are disciples guarding the gate at the mouth of the river. You don't have to pass the checkpoint to climb up here." The boatman holding the pole took out his good citizen certificate and looked at it for a long time, then said strangely, "Xiao Qinggu...how did you choose this name?"
"What's wrong with the name?" Liao Jing asked casually, putting his luggage on his back.
"It's too harsh. It sounds like there's something wrong. You should be called Xiao Dagui or Xiao Huzi. I mean something like this, if your real surname is Xiao."
Liao Jing's real surname is Xiao, but he doesn't know his own name.Master forgot, he guessed that Master didn't even bother to remember.When he was two years old, he was sent to a temple because his family was poor. Lay monks like to have children, and monks like to adopt children. However, they usually don't take in such a young child. It is best to take care of children around five or six years old, who have just grown their memory, and take care of them for two years. Just work.
The monastery will not force children to be tonsured when they take them in.When he was five years old, his master was an abbot in Luzhou. He came to visit the temple and thought he was smart. After asking about it, he accepted him as his apprentice before he became a master.The master said that he did not accept disciples easily. He was the last one and a closed disciple. The senior brother said not to believe what the master said. He said the same thing to every senior brother.
But he is really the last disciple of his master.
His real name was thrown into the temple, and he followed the master to Luzhou, Jinzhou, and then to Shaolin.Then, the name Liao Jing was the same as his previous name, and he was thrown into Shaolin.
Liao Jing took the good citizen certificate, which was densely covered with red seals.Xiao Qinggu, a native of Xiangcheng in Anhui Province, also has a chivalrous certificate from the Xiangshan sect.
"You're so close, you won't reveal your secret?"
"The name of Xiangshan Sect's knights is ten taels, and no one accepts it as a nursing home. Are you afraid that people will find out the details? Why do you choose such a public name?"
"I want to join the Songshan Sect because I'm afraid they will investigate."
"I still want to sleep with Miss Songshan!" the boatman mocked, holding up his long pole to drive away the passengers, and he had no choice but to get off the boat.
"If you are found out, you will say that the Wudang household registration is chaotic. If your name doesn't scratch their ears, they won't be suspicious." The boat swayed away from the shore, making ripples in circles.
Li Jing... no, it's time to call Xiao Qinggu. Next, he will go to Jicheng, where he should find a job to guard the disciples. From now on, he will be a needle on the night list and help find clues.He always felt that Ye Bang had made up his mind to let him join the Songshan Sect from the very beginning.
He touched less than two inches of hair.
How will you spend your days in the future?He hasn't figured it out yet.Revenge is certain to find out who is unknown, but how to take revenge?He knew that the difference in talent between him and Ming's unknown talent would increase day by day, and he would definitely not be a match for this monster in a few years.He heard that his master had been demoted to the White Horse Temple. After two years, the news had subsided, and he would still have to ask his master for help.
The day we arrived in Jicheng was the seventh day of July, the Qiqiao Festival. This was one of the few days in the year when girls could go out for some fresh air.Jicheng is the seat of the Songshan Sect and the largest city in Lu. Although it is not as prosperous as the Buddha's birthday, it is still lively.Rich families would hang out their books and quilts in the courtyard, while poor families would also hang a few thin quilts at the door. Many officials and their wives would use this day to travel, burn incense and pray for blessings, practice postures, set up stalls, and paint pictures in the market. There are sugar dragons, sellers of beaded wood ornaments, and all kinds of miscellaneous jobs.
Xiao Qinggu was bored in every possible way. When she saw a crowd of people in front of her, she went to join in the fun.It turned out that someone had set up a theater booth to perform tricks, but there were too many people and they couldn't squeeze in.
Suddenly there was a shout, and a strong man with curly hair and a beard shouted and pushed forward, and everyone gave way.Behind the strong man was a man and a woman. The girl tilted her head slightly, with an oval face, big eyes, and light makeup and eyebrows.
Xiao Qinggu suddenly felt her heartbeat stop for a moment and her cheeks felt slightly warm.The strong man had already led the couple to the front. Xiao Qinggu stood on tiptoes and looked around. No one was there anymore, so she could only scratch her head and look towards the stage.
On the stage, he swallowed the sword first, then swallowed the needle and threaded it. It was a real unique skill. Then he swallowed the golden cup into the ground, the immortal picked beans, the autumn harvest, and the six-link chain. He had also seen such tricks in the Buddhist capital, and after watching them for a long time, he realized Boring.Then the troupe rolled out a wooden box that was seven feet long and four feet wide, saying that it would change the world and make people disappear. However, the box was very small and ordinary people couldn't fit it in.
I only heard a few words from the class leader, saying that he was worried that the box was too small, and asked which audience members wanted to get into the box to try. Several people below shouted to get in, but the class leader thought that they were too tall and couldn't fit into the wooden box.
A little girl in gorgeous clothes came onto the stage, and she didn't know what she was muttering to the class leader. The class leader laughed, and the little girl got into the wooden box.Xiao Qinggu guessed at a glance that there was a trap under the stage, and that this girl was [-]% a trap.He lacked interest and looked around. He saw the beauty standing under the stage, with the bearded man and a young man standing next to him. He didn't know if he and the girl were brothers and sisters or something...
It was none of his own business, what was he thinking? Xiao Qinggu gave a wry smile and found the tricks boring. She went to a nearby restaurant to eat. She counted her coins and ordered a bowl of lard soup noodles and braised tofu.His hair was short, and even though it barely covered his ring scar, it still attracted the attention of the people around him. Fortunately, there was a festival in the city today, and there were many people around, so he was not suspected.
He asked the store which sect was short of people, and then went to the notice post. Almost all of the notices posted in Songshan were wanted orders, and most of them were against the Songgao League.
Songgao Meng... If you catch a Songgao Meng, it may not be difficult to join the Songshan Sect. The Night Ranking will help. They hope to have a needle inserted in Songshan.But Xiao Qinggu doesn't want to get too involved with Ye Bang. There is no free benefit in the world. You have to pay back as much as you owe. This is called karma, self-reliance.
Xiao Qinggu couldn't cheer up at the thought of finding a job.The disciples of the sect work as handymen every day. Even if they become the leader, they still have to deal with favors and deal with official documents. How much trouble is that?He couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.
Fang turned around and was hit on the waist. He quickly lowered his head to look and saw a little girl, wearing lotus green silk clothes. She had big eyes and looked like she came from a wealthy family.
Xiao Qinggu felt that the child looked familiar. The girl was stunned for a moment, then grabbed his arm and shouted: "You are lucky! Help me!"
"Help you?" Xiao Qing was puzzled.
"Take me to the market!" The girl pointed to the south, "Go over there!"
"Ah?" Xiao Qinggu was surprised, "Where is your family?"
"I'm just looking for my family!" The girl pointed to the market calmly, "They are over there, take me to find them!"
Xiao Qinggu had no choice but to take the girl to the market.
Halfway through, the girl suddenly stopped and stood in front of the painted candy stall, staring at the candy figure in a daze.Xiao Qinggu saw that she was looking attentively and urged: "Aren't you looking for family? Let's go quickly."
The girl points to a hovering sugar dragon: "I want this dragon!"
The sugar painter took off the sugar dragon and handed it to her: "Fifty coins."
So expensive?Just as Xiao Qinggu was thinking about it, the girl poked him with her elbow and said, "Give me money."
Xiao Qinggu was stunned: "What?"
The girl said: "Give me money!"
Xiao Qing said, "You have no money?"
The girl said angrily: "How can a little girl like me bring money?"
Is it still reasonable to co-author?Xiao Qinggu said: "You first..." Before she could finish her words, the girl bit off the dragon's beard in one bite, and the candy painter grabbed Xiao Qinggu's arm: "Your lady has eaten the candy, so you have to pay her!"
It turned out that the candy painter took Xiao Qinggu as a follower of a rich lady. Xiao Qinggu had no choice but to take out fifty coins from his sleeve.
The girl jumped forward again. Xiao Qinggu hurriedly followed, but saw her sitting in front of the chess stall and asked, "How do you play here?"
"A game of ten coins, you can choose red or black. Red comes first and black comes last. Win and lose ten times."
This kind of chess game is an end game. The red chess and the black chess look like a two-step kill, but in fact they are bound to draw. Just as Xiao Qinggu was about to stop him, the girl pushed the red cart and said, "It's your turn."
"Shi Wen, collect the money first." The old man setting up the chess stall quickly responded and reached out to ask for the chess fee.
The girl looked at Xiao Qinggu again, and Xiao Qinggu could only say: "Let's go in the next game. We can't win here, it's all a draw."
The old man setting up the stall said hurriedly: "Why can't you win? Don't talk nonsense if you don't know how to play chess!"
The girl was full of confidence: "Look at me!" She looked at the chessboard intently, and after a while asked, "Does the knight move the sun or the field?"
Xiao Qinggu held her forehead: "You can't even play chess?"
"I've been fast at everything since elementary school. I can master it as soon as I learn it, and I'll be good at it after a while." The little girl pushed the red cart, "General, dead move!"
"Little girl... the car can't go sideways." The old man running the stall was embarrassed.
Xiao Qinggu blushed, but the girl remained calm: "I see. Let's play again!"
"I have no money!" Xiao Qinggu hurriedly stopped her, "Your family will be very anxious if they can't find you! Where is your home? I will take you home!"
The girl took off her jade bracelet and asked the old man running the stall: "How many dishes is this enough for?"
The old man was speechless: "Sister-in-law, please spare me, this will make things better!"
The girl turned her head and said, "I haven't had enough fun! Take it to a pawn shop and see how much you can pawn!"
This little girl is so willful!Xiao Qinggu picked her up and scolded: "If you keep fooling around, I don't care about you anymore! Where is your home?"
"You're so stingy!" The girl pouted with her feet dangling in the air, her hands waving wildly, "You're so fussy about tens of pennies!"
Seeing her angry look, Xiao Qing burst into laughter and asked, "How old are you?"
"Ten years old!"
"Ten years old?"
The little girl felt a little guilty: "It's almost..."
"After one more game, I'll send you home, no cheating!"
The girl responded quickly.
This time she looked at the market carefully and studied it carefully. Xiao Qing knew that it was in vain.How can I put decades of skill into the hands of a little girl like you who is less than ten years old?He stood on the street and looked around to see if anyone was looking for the child in a hurry. He caught a glimpse of the beauty he had seen earlier coming towards the end of the street. He thought what a coincidence. He also thought about how big Jicheng was and that the troupe was nearby, bumping into two people. No surprise.
I saw the girl looking around, looking at her temperament and dress. She must be the daughter of a powerful person in Songshan, taking advantage of the Qiqiao Festival to go out and walk around.He also noticed that the young man next to her, although he could not see it carefully from a distance, was vaguely handsome and a good match for the girl, but he could not see the big man with the curly beard.
"Boy, your girl ran away!" the old man said suddenly.Xiao Qinggu turned around and found that the little girl was gone. He quickly asked: "Where did she go?"
The old man pointed to the alley on the street: "Into the alley."
Xiao Qinggu couldn't rest assured. She chased her into the alley and turned two corners before seeing the little girl at the other end of the alley.Xiao Qinggu caught up from behind, grabbed her by the collar, and scolded: "Why are you running around? If you meet a bad person, you will suffer. Do you think Songshan has not kidnapped or trafficked children?" The girl nodded and said: " It was indeed a chance.”
Xiao Qinggu asked: "What opportunity?"
"Look, how many people are there on the street during Qiqiao Festival?" the little girl pointed to the street and asked, "There must be at least tens of thousands of people."
"Then what happened?"
"Out of thousands of people, you bump into the same person twice. Isn't this your chance?"
"What chance, what two times?" Xiao Qing asked, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Hit me twice!" said the little girl, "once just now and again now!"
"Little girl, I came to see you!" If Xiao Qinggu hadn't seen that she was a child, she would have really wanted to give this girl a slap in the face, "Stop talking nonsense, what is your name and where do you live? I will take you back!"
"My name is Su Yinzheng. I live in a wealthy family in the city." Su Yinzheng broke away and said, "Don't you think about it, there are so many people on the street, why did I find you?"
"Yes, why?" Xiao Qing was puzzled.
"Because you have a chance." Su Yinzheng said, "I ran away just now, why did you catch up with me?"
"How can I see a child get lost?" Xiao Qinggu said angrily, "I'll take you home and reward you with a few taels of silver!"
"So you know how to seize opportunities." Su Yinzheng nodded, "Be aware that there are no coincidences in this world, everything is destined. For example, you can tell at first glance that you are not a local. Why did you come all the way to Jicheng?"
What for?It's about taking refuge and finding another place to stay.Xiao Qing thought about it but didn't say it out loud. Why would she tell a child this?
"Think about it again, why did I get lost earlier than later, but why did I choose today? Why do you and I have to bump into each other here and now?"
"You came here just to meet me. Everything in the past is the cause, and everything in the future is the result. This is destiny, destiny." The little girl talked eloquently, without any hint of guilt.
Xiao Qinggu's heart was moved. This girl talked like a child, but when she talked about metaphysics, she was very clear and logical, which was inconsistent with her age. She especially said that there were no coincidences in the world, which coincided with the Buddhist theory of cause and effect.I traveled thousands of miles from Shaolin just to get to Jicheng. As soon as I entered Jicheng, I saw this little girl. It was indeed a little evil, but the more I thought about it, the more something was wrong.He scolded: "If we bump into you, we bump into you. Either I bump into you or someone else bumps into you, or I bump into someone else. People bump into people every day."
It seems wrong to say this. According to Buddhist principles, cause and effect are in harmony, and cause and effect exist, so there is nothing without a reason.
"It's your chance that I bumped into you." Su Yinzheng said, "You have to accept your fate in order to improve your spiritual color."
"Spirit color?"
"It's not easy for you to learn this. It's a talent. Others can't learn it." Su Yinzheng shook her head, as if lamenting Xiao Qing's ignorance, with a mature look on her face, "As long as you know that you can rise to great heights by accepting your fate, you can either be rich or not. expensive."
"I have no intention of learning. You said that you will be successful..." Xiao Qinggu suddenly thought of Su Changning, the head of Songshan Mountain, and asked suspiciously, "Are you related to head Su?"
"I have nothing to do with Head Su, so you won't help me? Why are you so snobbish!"
"That's not what I meant." Xiao Qinggu thought to herself why she was so confused by this little girl, and said, "I don't care who you are, and I don't care whether you can be successful in the future. If you don't tell me where you live, I will send you into the sect. , wait for your relatives to come and get it!"
Su Yinzheng suddenly pulled the lapel of Xiao Qinggu's clothes, Xiao Qinggu bent down, and heard Su Yinzheng whisper: "I felt restless when I got up this morning. Sure enough, today is very important to you and me. You have to follow me."
"Nonsense!" Even those doubts disappeared. Xiao Qinggu took Su Yinzheng's arm and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a nearby sect!"
"You don't understand!" Su Yinzheng said anxiously, "To tell you the truth, I have magic power and a natural eye. I can see a person's spiritual color. It's just that I am young and my eyes are not open, so I can't see clearly! I I didn’t bump into you by chance, I saw that you have a good spirit! You help me, and I help you, just like a fish helps water, and water helps fish. You can survive the tribulation, and I can ascend. It’s all good! If you leave me alone, My destiny is to have a phoenix come to me to turn danger into safety, but you will be in trouble. You will be killed or injured on the wrong road! If you don't believe it..."
Su Yinzheng looked around and pointed to a fortune-telling stall: "Go and ask the fortune-teller to see if what he said is the same as mine!"
"This guest, you will not only lose money today, but also suffer a bloody disaster. I'll speak out, mind my own business, go to the temple to burn three sticks of incense and donate some sesame oil, and you can live a peaceful and simple life for the rest of your life." said the fortune teller. After that, he stretched out his hand and said, "Fifty coins are a small loss of a great cause, a small loss of a great cause."
Xiao Qinggu took out fifty coins and stared at Su Yinzheng.Su Yinzheng said disdainfully: "This fortune teller is not good at learning and must be fake."
After hearing this, the fortune teller refused to give up and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl! If I am not correct, I will come tomorrow to take down my sign!"
Su Yinzheng asked: "How old are you?"
"Two out of forty."
"Do you have any children?"
"Two sons and two daughters."
"You're keeping the rags?"
The fortune teller was surprised to realize that he was an insider in front of him, and said steadily: "I am penniless, but I am happy to know my fate."
It is said that learning Maoshan's physiognomy is to get a glimpse of heaven's secrets. Before practicing, you need to draw lots. The rags will shorten your life and you will have no descendants. One of the three will fall. If you can bear it, you can be taught the physiognomy. Many magicians who claim to practice the Celestial Master's method will wear it on their Taoist robes. Burn three holes to show your identity.If a Taoist priest is over forty, it does not count as premature death, and if he has children, it does not mean that he is childless.Xiao Qinggu didn't know the allusions to these spells, and before she could figure out what slander the two were talking about, she heard a snap sound. Su Yinzheng slapped the jade bracelet on her hand on the table and asked loudly: "Are you going to make a fortune?"
The fortune teller looked at the jade bracelet on the table. It was all crystal white and well-watered. He was afraid it would be worth hundreds of taels of silver. He hesitated for a while and said seriously: "I am a poor Taoist..."
"Let's go!" Su Yinzheng was about to put away the jade bracelet when the Taoist slammed it on the table and held the jade bracelet tightly.
"The poor Taoist's wife stole a man, and the two sons are not biological!" The Taoist priest drank air on the bracelet, wiped it carefully with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "The poor Taoist has no children and no grandchildren, no heirs, no heirs!"
Now Su Yinzheng was stunned, the little fox couldn't beat Lao Jianghu after all.
"Why are you so clever, girl?" Xiao Qinggu felt a headache while walking on the street, "What do you want to do?"
"Take me to Pujing Temple to burn incense and go to the south of the city. I will go home obediently." Su Yinzheng took Xiao Qinggu's arm and said, "Let's go."
This girl is endless...
Xiao Qinggu took Su Yinzheng to burn incense at Pujing Temple, donated a hundred incense oil money for her, and then took the little girl to the south of the city.It was almost dusk, and people had to worship the Qiqiao God on the night of the Qiqiao Festival. Most of the people gathered in the downtown area of the city. There were few people on the streets in the south of the city. Only Xiao Qinggu was holding Su Yinzheng's hand.
After he left Shaolin, he went to town to hide in Tibet. It was rare for him to have a few days of peace. After playing with this little fairy for a long time, he felt relieved and felt that this naughty little baby was also very interesting.But why is this little fairy girl getting more and more remote?He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Where are you going?"
Su Yinzheng smiled and said, "I found it!" She said and ran forward.
She ran to a small field of sorghum, turned around and pressed her head with four fingers, her thumbs on her temples, and stared at Xiao Qinggu with squinted eyes.Seeing her strange appearance, Xiao Qinggu smiled and said, "What are you doing?"
"Don't talk. I'm young and my eyes are not fully opened yet. I can only see once a day." After a while, the little girl murmured, "Gold...purple, you are purple!" Su Yinzheng screamed and pulled Xiao Qinggu's clothes said, "The land of Lu is in the east. This means that the purple energy comes from the east. It is a late bloomer! It's right, it's all right!"
To the east of Lu Di is the sea. How can it go further east?Xiao Qinggu wanted to refute, but Su Yinzheng grabbed his arm and asked anxiously: "How old are you this year? What's your name?"
"My name is Xiao Qinggu...27...why do you ask me my age?"
"I'm a bit older, but it doesn't matter. I can be a little aggrieved!" Su Yinzheng said happily, "I'll pull out two stalks and leave. You will protect me and go home. I'll talk to dad about our affairs when we get home!"
Xiao Qinggu saw many vendors in Jicheng City putting out sorghum stalks for people to take, and also saw many girls holding them in their hands. She guessed it was a custom in Lu, and it was probably because the sorghum growers were afraid that people would pick it at will and damage the crops. , take it off in advance and set aside.But he was not familiar with this custom. The Qiqiao Festival was not an important festival in the Buddhist capital, and there was not much celebration.
After all, even if there are lay monks, there are still a group of monks living in the Buddhist capital.
Xiao Qinggu couldn't help but ask: "Isn't straw everywhere?"
"The straw given by others has no effect at all. The Qiao Qiao Festival requires marriage, so the straw has to be stolen. I took two straws, one to beg for my sister, and one for myself. I couldn't look back or talk along the way. As soon as I got home, the magic was done. It’s done.”
"What spell?"
"Marriage!" Su Yinzheng said seriously, "I stole two stalks home to pray for marriage, one for my sister and one for myself!"
"You're only ten years old!"
What is going on in this girl’s head?Looking at her age, her sister is probably only twelve or thirteen years old. Why are you so anxious?Xiao Qinggu suddenly remembered Su Yinzheng's strange words just now, and asked in surprise: "What did you mean by that just now? Do we have anything to discuss with your father?"
"You still don't understand?" Su Yinzheng pointed to the sorghum field, "Marriage." Then pointed to the sky, "Qiao Qiao Festival."
"On Qiao Qiao Festival, I asked for marriage, so I bumped into you on the street. You came thousands of miles away, just today, not yesterday, not tomorrow. What is this called?"
"It's obviously you who is insisting on me..." Xiao Qing found it difficult to argue with this child.
Su Yinzheng said seriously: "There is God's will in the dark, and everything is arranged. There are no coincidences in this world, there must be a reason. This is called destiny."
Forget it, why bother with a child... Xiao Qing rubbed her forehead.Anyway, send him home and leave. Even if we meet him in Jicheng later, we will just say hello.
Su Yinzheng stood in front of the sorghum field with her hands clasped together, not knowing what to say silently, and then picked two stalks.Xiao Qinggu asked, "Okay?" Su Yinzheng shook her head and pointed to her mouth to indicate that she couldn't speak.
Xiao Qinggu had only known her for a long time and knew that this fairy girl had many quirks, so she said: "Where is your home? I will take you home..." Su Yinzheng pointed to the front and led the way.
The two of them had walked less than a mile. There were few people on the street, a few huts had lights on intermittently, and a few women were gathering quilts.There was a slight rhythmic sound from behind, and Xiao Qinggu immediately noticed it with steady and steady steps.In the past few months, he had fought against too many Haibu Yamen, and he was extremely alert, especially with such steady footsteps...
He stopped and turned around.The sky is getting dark, and the only light on the street is the subtle light coming from the window paper, the aroma of dinner and the sound of sparse clinking spatulas.
Xiao Qinggu couldn't see the person coming clearly. He was estimated to be about eight feet tall, about the same as himself. He should be a middle-aged man.
Anyone in Haibu Yamen who dares to do it alone is a master.
No, there was more than one. Another person walked out from the streets on both sides. One was holding a pair of sticks, and the other was hanging a sword.
three people?Xiao Qinggu was shocked.If the martial arts of these three people are so different, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive today. Masters with such martial arts will actually catch a wanted criminal...
Su Yinzheng noticed that he had stopped, so she stopped and walked back step by step in front of Xiao Qinggu, looking very funny.
This girl is really stubborn. If she says she won't look back, she won't look back.
Su Yinzheng raised her head twice, her eyes seemed to be questioning and a little anxious.Xiao Qinggu said loudly: "This little girl is lost, it has nothing to do with me. You three are here for Xiao, don't embarrass the little girl!" After that, she patted Su Yinzheng on the shoulder and said: "If you know the way, just go home by yourself. "
Su Yinzheng just shook her head and brought her hands to her mouth, signaling Xiao Qing to call someone.
Still think these three are not troublesome enough?Xiao Qinggu smiled bitterly.Calling for help will only make it harder for you to escape. Even with the help of the Night List, you will never be able to avoid being wanted.
With a "whoop" sound, the man following him kicked his foot, his body was like a sharp arrow, and shot out with a palm, blowing the wind in his face.Xiao Qinggu struck out with her left palm and pushed Su Yinzheng away with her right hand.The two palms met, Xiao Qinggu's body swayed, and the man took two steps back. Only then did Xiao Qinggu see clearly that the other person was a middle-aged man about forty years old.
The man seemed quite surprised by Xiao Qinggu's martial arts skills. He then lowered his waist and sat on his horse, using his moves to push open the window and look at the moon.Xiao Qinggu heard the sound of the wind behind her. When she turned around, she saw a knife coming from her waist. Another person was hitting Su Yinzheng's calf with a stick. She couldn't help but become furious that she had dealt such a harsh blow to a child!He took three steps back, leaned towards the man holding the knife with his left shoulder, grabbed the short stick with his right hand and pulled hard. The man's feet were still pulled closer to him than a foot away, leaving scratches on the muddy ground.
Xiao Qing used the stick to hold the knife, but the middle-aged man's palms were already there.This man had strong internal energy, and he was either dead or injured in the middle of the palm. Xiao Qinggu shouted loudly, and struck out with his Prajna palm, strong force against strong force.He hit the target with two palms and finally suffered a loss. He only felt that the breath in his chest was confused, as if he had received a heavy punch.
The wielder of the long stick took the opportunity to take back the weapon and shouted. The stick made heavy shadows, splitting, poking, sweeping, picking, and knocking, just like a knife, sword, stick, halberd, and whip. It turned out to be a rare Cowherd's stick, and it could be considered a beggar's stick during the Qiqiao Festival. Meet the occasion.The swordsman has a sharp sword style, and he should use a sharp knife such as the Splitting Wind Knife Technique.
Among these three people, one is serious and thick, one is clever and versatile, and the other is swift and unparalleled. If it is one-on-one, Xiao Qinggu will not be afraid, but when it is one-on-three... Haibu Yamen has such a partner, There really are no wanted criminals that cannot be caught.
Xiao Qinggu walked in the plum blossom step, passing through the flower palms on the left and right, overlapping the palms and moving between the shadows of sticks and knives. Be careful of the slow and dignified wind of the palms.He had no weapons in his hands and was defeated after a few moves.
How to deal with these three offensives?Xiao Qinggu glanced at the confiscated quilt outside the house, and with a thought in mind, she stepped back three feet.Seeing the opponent slashing with a knife, Xiao Qinggu picked up the quilt on the drying rack, threw the quilt with the wooden frame at the swordsman's pocket, and then grabbed a corner of the quilt with both hands to use the two sticks. With a slap on his face, the man quickly retreated.
This quilt is really a clever way to defeat the enemy. If you encounter palm force, you can use softness to overcome hardness. If you encounter a short stick, use the long to get the shortest. If you encounter a sharp knife, use your face to break the thread. It's like a big net covering your head, and sometimes it's like a square shield sweeping the enemy's face. Palms, sticks, and knives are all out of reach for a while.
Although he had the advantage, he was only on defense after all. He was thinking about how to escape when he suddenly saw Su Yinzheng still standing there, stamping her feet, neither looking back nor calling for help, as if she was worried about herself.Xiao Qinggu shouted: "What are you still doing there? Leave quickly!"
Seeing that Xiao Qing could not be attacked for the moment, the swordsman turned around and went to catch Su Yinzheng, but Su Yinzheng ran away.Xiao Qinggu flew to save him and greeted him with two sticks. Xiao Qinggu wrapped the quilt around her body and avoided the double sticks. She couldn't avoid the palm imprinted on her back. Fortunately, the quilt was fluffy and she was in mid-air. After removing five points of strength, the body is still writhing inside.
Xiao Qinggu rolled on the ground and threw the quilt out. The swordsman was busy catching Su Yinzheng, but he couldn't dodge and was covered by the quilt's hood.Xiao Qinggu struck out with his palm, and the swordsman was about to slash with his sword. The quilt was blocking his hands and feet, so he hurriedly imitated Xiao Qinggu and shook off the quilt to protect himself.
Logically speaking, the quilt is a soft object that can relieve the palm's strength, but unexpectedly Xiao Qinggu just happened to have learned a skill and can use soft objects to generate strength.
Kasaya subdues demons.
The palm hit the quilt, causing the quilt to dent inward and hit the swordsman's chest. With a crack, at least three ribs were broken, and the swordsman fell to the ground.
At the same time, there was a muffled bang, and Xiao Qinggu was hit hard on the back with a short stick. His throat felt sweet and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
No, you will definitely die if you don’t kill him!
Xiao Qinggu never attacks Haiping Yamen, and it is not unreasonable to catch wanted criminals. But today, facing the siege of three masters, even if they fight to the death, they may not win, so why should they consider showing mercy?He leaned forward, distanced himself, took a deep breath and turned around, his breath was thin and long.
The middle-aged man was trying to summon the Heavenly King to support the pagoda, when he slapped him with both palms at the same time. Xiao Qinggu raised his palms to greet him.The middle-aged man thought that his opponent's palm power was only slightly better than his own, and he was injured. With such consumption of palms, his opponent would be defeated faster.Unexpectedly, the palm force met him, and with two bangs, the middle-aged man screamed and fell backwards, and his arms were actually broken.
The palm of Mount Sumeru is as heavy as Sumeru.
Xiao Qinggu won by being unprepared, and immediately slapped the man with the stick on the chest with his right palm.When the stick wielder saw his companion falling down with two palms, he was already prepared, with two short sticks up and down in front of him to protect him.
Click, the stick in his right hand snapped, his arm shook violently, Xiao Qinggu struck with his left palm again, the man ducked down to avoid it, Xiao Qinggu's right palm followed closely.The stick reacted extremely quickly. He held the stick in front of him with his left hand, and smashed the half-cut stick into Xiao Qinggu's head with his right hand. With a bang, Xiao Qinggu's eyes went dark. This palm hit the left stick, knocking the other one off. A stick is on sale.
No, the biggest problem with Sumeru Mountain Palm is that it disappears into thin air if it is not hit, and its real power is exhausted after being used, which will reduce the power of other martial arts.Xiao Qinggu could have used six palms, but he was injured in front of him. After five palms, he had no more energy left. He received a heavy blow on his forehead. He was dazed and his eyes were blood red. He could only wave his palms randomly to protect himself.
Suddenly, she heard Su Yinzheng shout loudly: "Over here! Over here!" Xiao Qing sighed in her heart, she couldn't escape the law after all, and then she fainted.
■
When Xiao Qinggu opened her eyes again, she was lying on a comfortable bed, and there was incense in the room.
My head hurts so much...it hurts so much it feels like it's splitting.
"Don't move, it's okay, it's just a cracked skull." The person next to him seemed to be answering him, and then scolded, "Brother Xiao, no matter how good his martial arts skills are, he shouldn't be so aggressive. One against three, why don't you call for help?"
who?Xiao Qinggu turned her head slightly.A handsome young man stood beside the bed and said to him: "I am Su Yilin, please help me save my sister-in-law."
What?Xiao Qinggu's head was still groggy.His surname is also Su, and he is Su Yinzheng’s brother?
Su Yilin said politely: "My roommate is naughty. Fortunately, you helped us, so we are safe. The three Songgao League thugs killed one and captured one, and only one escaped. This can be considered as Brother Xiao venting his grievances."
What is the Songgao League, not the Haidu Yamen?Why does this person look so familiar? I seem to have seen him somewhere...
Forget it, don’t think about it, I’ll ask another time…
"I won't disturb Brother Xiao's rest." Su Yilin stood up and said goodbye.
But Xiao Qinggu didn't stay quiet for a moment.Su Yinzheng was sobbing and lying beside the bed, crying, even if she was really worried about him.
"In order to save you, I turned around and spoke again. My marriage is gone, and you have to pay for it!" Su Yinzheng cried.
What are you so anxious about...this little witch...
Xiao Qinggu decided to shut up and let him say whatever he wanted. This little witch must have many more reasons. His head really hurt and he didn't want it to hurt any more.
"Second sister, let Mr. Xiao rest." A girl, Pingping Tingting, walked in.Xiao Qinggu's eyes lit up, and her chaotic mind suddenly became clear. Isn't this the beauty she saw twice today?No wonder he thought Su Yilin looked familiar, he turned out to be her brother!
Su Yinzheng kept crying, and the girl wanted to drag her away. "Wait!" Xiao Qinggu quickly stopped her, "Dare you ask me..."
"My name is Su Wanqin." The woman was very considerate and introduced herself before Xiao Qing finished asking her questions. "This is my roommate Yin Zheng. I think you already know each other."
"Oh, how are you, Miss Su..." Xiao Qinggu felt that she must look very funny, so she quickly changed the subject, "Why did Miss Yin Zheng get lost?"
"My second sister is naughty. When we were watching a magic trick today, she came to the stage shouting. There was a trap under the wooden box leading to the stage, so she took the opportunity to escape."
"Who told you not to let me steal straw!" Su Yinzheng complained, "I'm still asking for a marriage for my sister!"
Oh, it turns out that Su Yinzheng was on stage during the magic trick.At that time, he didn't notice that there was a younger sister accompanying this girl. If he had noticed, he would have sent Su Yinzheng back a long time ago, and there wouldn't be so much trouble later.
Xiao Qinggu suddenly thought of something and hurriedly touched her forehead, fearing to expose the ring scar under her hair. When she touched it, she found that her forehead was covered with bandages, which just covered the ring scar. She breathed a sigh of relief, but screamed out in pain.
Su Wanqin burst out laughing, pulled up a chair and sat down beside the bed: "Young master, don't move around, or you may get hurt again."
"What time is it now?" Xiao Qing asked.
"The third quarter of Xuzheng is not Mao."
"So it's still the festival of begging for cleverness?" Xiao Qing asked, her eyes fixed on Su Wanqin for an instant.
Su Wanqin blushed, nodded, and said yes.
Ben Song is right, Su Yinzheng is right, and maybe even the fortune teller is right.
On such a day, at such a time, I traveled thousands of miles to come to such a place and met such a person...
Maybe it's destiny, Xiao Qing thought...
(End of this chapter)
Kunlun in the summer of May 83
Weeds almost cover the path, and half of the gravel is exposed, making every step unsteady.
"I'll carry you on my back." The man wearing a curtain said to the girl holding his hand, "Be careful with your sprained feet."
The girl with a beautiful face gave a soft "hmm", climbed up on the strong man's back, and put her hands around his chest.Another thin man wearing a curtain scratched his chin and continued to lead the way.
The area from Yudi to Hubei is flat, and Xiangyang is an important waterway. There are many roads to walk on, but these three people chose to take a less traveled path.
As luck would have it, six more strong men came towards them, scattered in two lines. From their steady steps and the weapons on their backs, it could be seen that they had learned martial arts.
The three of them immediately became wary. The man carrying the young woman on his back slowed down and gave way, while the other man stepped forward.
When the two groups of men and horses were at odds with each other, the six strong men suddenly moved their hands.
"Run!" The thin man wearing a curtain shouted, and the strong man carrying the young woman on his back quickly ran out.Before the opponent could draw his weapon, the thin man punched the two strong men in the face with two left and right punches.
A large net is thrown under the sky to catch prisoners. Fishing nets are extremely useful. Once trapped, it is difficult to move, and they can be captured alive.The thin man took off the curtain and threw it into the air. The force of the throw was so strong that the fishing net was caught and flew out.
The slender man showed his bald head and turned out to be a monk. He slapped the stabbing dagger with his left hand and hit the opponent's throat with his right hand, causing the man to squat on the ground with his hands covering his throat and unable to breathe.
He was merciless, as long as this palm hit him half an inch higher, he could suffocate the opponent to death.
Once the move was successful, he kicked the other person in the chest. The other person was about to block when the kick suddenly turned and swept from the right, hitting his forehead. The person staggered two steps and fell to the ground.
The remaining two people drew their swords at the same time.The monk raised his palms together, using the left and right piercing hands in Shaolin martial arts, dividing, turning, releasing, and striking. He spread the arms of the two people, and thrust out both fists. It seemed to hit them head-on, but his arms suddenly sank, hitting the two people. The pain in their chest and abdomen made the two of them fall to their knees.
"Don't follow, or you will be killed!" The monk said harshly and quickly caught up with his companions.
"Senior Brother Liao Jing, are you okay?" The strong man carrying the girl on his back wiped the sweat from his forehead in concern.
"Take off the curtain, it will be eye-catching whether you wear it or not." Liao Jing complained, "Two big bald heads and a girl, what is not eye-catching?"
After leaving Shaolin, Liao Jing caught up with Ben Song and Yuan Zhixuan.Ben Song was seriously injured and hid in a hotel with Yuan Zhixuan to recuperate.
Shaolin's wanted man soon followed. Anyone who picks melons knows that melons must be picked while they are ripe.When a wanted order is first issued, fugitives are often still within the country, which is when they are easiest to hunt.
Ming Wuxiang was right. Without Luo Jing, they wouldn't even be able to get out of Yudi.
Ben Song took off the curtain and handed it to Yuan Zhixuan to shade him: "The sun is strong, thank you for your hard work."
"The hardest days are over." Yuan Zhixuan said softly.
The saddest thing about escorting the elopement lovers was the care they inadvertently showed for each other.Liao Jing couldn't understand why Yuan Zhixuan, who came from a wealthy family, fell in love with Ben Song because he was not good-looking.
It was hard to ask Miss Yuan about this, so I had to ask Ben Song privately.
"I don't know, I never thought about it." Ben Song shook his head, "I just know that I fell in love with Miss Yuan at the first sight."
"Miss Yuan is beautiful." Liao Jing concluded angrily.
"I was still young at that time. Although there were many people in the Buddha's capital, and there were even more people on Buddha's birthday, I only remember this face..." Ben Song was not good at words and spoke very straightforwardly, "I don't know why. I saw it once and I just remember it. From now on, every year on the Buddha’s birthday, no matter how many believers visit the Buddha, I will always find Miss Yuan.”
On the contrary, the Buddhist capital has a large population, and there are tens of thousands of believers on the birthday of the Buddha. The girl who usually never leaves the house can only take this opportunity to breathe.Bensong is an incense monk who is responsible for praying for believers. Although Yuan Zhixuan is beautiful, she is not the kind of peerless beauty who is unforgettable at first sight.
Liao Jing scratched his head. He didn't understand this, but he knew that Yuan Zhixuan would not regret eloping.Even if you marry the son of a wealthy family, being beaten like this is definitely not a good life.
He really shouldn't flee to Hubei. The road is too flat and he could be easily captured. It would be faster and more secret to flee to Gufendi.But with Ben Song's ability, going to the lonely graveyard would be a dead end.
Liao Jing defeated two groups of pursuing disciples and six sea arresters along the way before arriving in Wudang. Yuan Zhixuan took the two of them to seek refuge with her cousin who worked in Wudang. However, although this cousin had always taken care of his cousin, he could not take them in.
"You've revealed your whereabouts, and many people are looking for you on the street. Especially this head is eye-catching, and since I have a relationship with my cousin, sooner or later I will be found."
My cousin is right, and the Xiangyang Gang in western Hubei is responsible for the best security in Wudang, but it is also dangerous.
"You have to hide at least until your hair grows out before you can come back," my cousin said.
It would take several years. Liao Jing thought that he could not protect Bensong for so long, so he could only take Bensong and Yuan Zhixuan to temporarily flee to Huidi.
When they were in the most difficult situation, Ye Bang took the initiative to find them.
"Master Liao Jing is really good at hiding. It took us a month to find him." The person who spoke was the shopkeeper Ye from Ye Bang. He used the disguise technique and couldn't see his true appearance in the weak firelight in the dark night.Liao Jing was guarding Ben Song and Yuan Zhixuan behind him, and was on guard against shopkeeper Ye's four subordinates, planning to capture the shopkeeper as a hostage if necessary.
"Master Bensong just pays it back. The case is small and there is a reward of 20 taels. Find a secret place to hide for a year or two and no one will care about it. Master Jingjing is a bit tricky. You are worth 100 taels. Without shelter, you will not be allowed to live for three to five years." Safe.”
Liao Jing knew what he said was true, but still refused the night list's invitation: "I won't join the night list."
After all, he couldn't do the business of killing people to make money, and the work was too tiring, hiding here and there, with nowhere to settle down, which was too inconsistent with his temperament.
Since they are all hiding in Tibet, why join the night list?
"They say they send Buddha to the west. Master Liaojing also thinks about your two friends. It's a long way from Hubei to Hui. If we give up halfway, won't all our efforts be wasted?" Shopkeeper Ye said with a smile. , "The night list can guarantee that two people will be sent to Huidi, and it can also help three people get good citizen certificates and settle down."
If the nine families want to move, they need to ask for a good citizen certificate from the original sect to show that they are not criminally involved and are not wanted. This certificate is required before they can settle down and purchase land.If you can't settle down, you will end up being an outsider and you will have a lot of troubles.
It costs a lot of money to get a good citizen certificate.
"Ye Bang is so kind?" Liao Jing asked, "I don't have any money."
"You three can repay the night list in another way." Shopkeeper Ye said, "You can be the needle of the night list."
Liao Jing was taken aback, and Ben Song hurriedly said: "We just want to live a stable life and don't want to cause trouble!"
Shopkeeper Ye said: "I'm afraid of getting into trouble and it's hard to even be stable."
There are almost no options on the net.
■
The long pole made ripples on the river, and the boatman softly hummed a boat song.
Ben Song and Yuan Zhixuan were placed outside Taiping Town. Ye Bang obtained good citizen certificates for them and bought a piece of poor land so that they could live a stable life.
The day we entered Ludi was very ordinary. It was a sunny day with shimmering waves, but it didn't look comfortable.It was July at the beginning of autumn, and it was stuffy, hot, and sticky. I lay down on the edge of the boat, poured water on my neck with both hands, and put my hands into my collar to wipe it, and then I hid under the canopy of the boat to escape the heat. .
No matter how much water there is in the river, it's not as cool as the Sutra Pavilion, Ling Jing thought.
Although he had left the Shaolin Temple for three months, he was still in a trance. When he woke up, he often wondered where he was. Why was he in a tent or an inn instead of the monk's residence he was used to?
He missed senior brother Liao Bin who lived with him.
Liao Bin is also a monk of Wenshu Monastery. He is a bookworm and loves chanting sutras. Liao Jing falls asleep to the sound of his chanting sutras every day and is awakened by the sound of sutras every day.After reciting the sutra, Liao Bin would attend morning classes at Wenshu Monastery and recite the sutra one more time.
Apart from chanting sutras, Liao Bin used his mouth not only to eat but also to curse lay monks.
Liao Bin does not speak profanity. Except for Master Jueru and the brothers who were taught bad things by Master, most of the righteous monks do not speak profanity.But the righteous monks will always come up with twists and turns to curse lay monks. One is considered polite, such as Chanti, those who slander Buddha, etc. Others, such as monks with six roots and bald heads, are just fine. The word "pair of eyes" means horse eyes. Through the asshole, that's really vulgar.
Although Liao Bin was not so vulgar, he always muttered and scolded the lay monks. That was almost the most important thing he did besides chanting sutras.
Even if you are full of resentment and recite sutras diligently, can you really understand the Dharma by practicing this way?
The ship did not arrive at the pier, but docked on the river beach, more than a foot high from the road on the shore. "After entering Weihu Lake, there is Lu Di. There are disciples guarding the gate at the mouth of the river. You don't have to pass the checkpoint to climb up here." The boatman holding the pole took out his good citizen certificate and looked at it for a long time, then said strangely, "Xiao Qinggu...how did you choose this name?"
"What's wrong with the name?" Liao Jing asked casually, putting his luggage on his back.
"It's too harsh. It sounds like there's something wrong. You should be called Xiao Dagui or Xiao Huzi. I mean something like this, if your real surname is Xiao."
Liao Jing's real surname is Xiao, but he doesn't know his own name.Master forgot, he guessed that Master didn't even bother to remember.When he was two years old, he was sent to a temple because his family was poor. Lay monks like to have children, and monks like to adopt children. However, they usually don't take in such a young child. It is best to take care of children around five or six years old, who have just grown their memory, and take care of them for two years. Just work.
The monastery will not force children to be tonsured when they take them in.When he was five years old, his master was an abbot in Luzhou. He came to visit the temple and thought he was smart. After asking about it, he accepted him as his apprentice before he became a master.The master said that he did not accept disciples easily. He was the last one and a closed disciple. The senior brother said not to believe what the master said. He said the same thing to every senior brother.
But he is really the last disciple of his master.
His real name was thrown into the temple, and he followed the master to Luzhou, Jinzhou, and then to Shaolin.Then, the name Liao Jing was the same as his previous name, and he was thrown into Shaolin.
Liao Jing took the good citizen certificate, which was densely covered with red seals.Xiao Qinggu, a native of Xiangcheng in Anhui Province, also has a chivalrous certificate from the Xiangshan sect.
"You're so close, you won't reveal your secret?"
"The name of Xiangshan Sect's knights is ten taels, and no one accepts it as a nursing home. Are you afraid that people will find out the details? Why do you choose such a public name?"
"I want to join the Songshan Sect because I'm afraid they will investigate."
"I still want to sleep with Miss Songshan!" the boatman mocked, holding up his long pole to drive away the passengers, and he had no choice but to get off the boat.
"If you are found out, you will say that the Wudang household registration is chaotic. If your name doesn't scratch their ears, they won't be suspicious." The boat swayed away from the shore, making ripples in circles.
Li Jing... no, it's time to call Xiao Qinggu. Next, he will go to Jicheng, where he should find a job to guard the disciples. From now on, he will be a needle on the night list and help find clues.He always felt that Ye Bang had made up his mind to let him join the Songshan Sect from the very beginning.
He touched less than two inches of hair.
How will you spend your days in the future?He hasn't figured it out yet.Revenge is certain to find out who is unknown, but how to take revenge?He knew that the difference in talent between him and Ming's unknown talent would increase day by day, and he would definitely not be a match for this monster in a few years.He heard that his master had been demoted to the White Horse Temple. After two years, the news had subsided, and he would still have to ask his master for help.
The day we arrived in Jicheng was the seventh day of July, the Qiqiao Festival. This was one of the few days in the year when girls could go out for some fresh air.Jicheng is the seat of the Songshan Sect and the largest city in Lu. Although it is not as prosperous as the Buddha's birthday, it is still lively.Rich families would hang out their books and quilts in the courtyard, while poor families would also hang a few thin quilts at the door. Many officials and their wives would use this day to travel, burn incense and pray for blessings, practice postures, set up stalls, and paint pictures in the market. There are sugar dragons, sellers of beaded wood ornaments, and all kinds of miscellaneous jobs.
Xiao Qinggu was bored in every possible way. When she saw a crowd of people in front of her, she went to join in the fun.It turned out that someone had set up a theater booth to perform tricks, but there were too many people and they couldn't squeeze in.
Suddenly there was a shout, and a strong man with curly hair and a beard shouted and pushed forward, and everyone gave way.Behind the strong man was a man and a woman. The girl tilted her head slightly, with an oval face, big eyes, and light makeup and eyebrows.
Xiao Qinggu suddenly felt her heartbeat stop for a moment and her cheeks felt slightly warm.The strong man had already led the couple to the front. Xiao Qinggu stood on tiptoes and looked around. No one was there anymore, so she could only scratch her head and look towards the stage.
On the stage, he swallowed the sword first, then swallowed the needle and threaded it. It was a real unique skill. Then he swallowed the golden cup into the ground, the immortal picked beans, the autumn harvest, and the six-link chain. He had also seen such tricks in the Buddhist capital, and after watching them for a long time, he realized Boring.Then the troupe rolled out a wooden box that was seven feet long and four feet wide, saying that it would change the world and make people disappear. However, the box was very small and ordinary people couldn't fit it in.
I only heard a few words from the class leader, saying that he was worried that the box was too small, and asked which audience members wanted to get into the box to try. Several people below shouted to get in, but the class leader thought that they were too tall and couldn't fit into the wooden box.
A little girl in gorgeous clothes came onto the stage, and she didn't know what she was muttering to the class leader. The class leader laughed, and the little girl got into the wooden box.Xiao Qinggu guessed at a glance that there was a trap under the stage, and that this girl was [-]% a trap.He lacked interest and looked around. He saw the beauty standing under the stage, with the bearded man and a young man standing next to him. He didn't know if he and the girl were brothers and sisters or something...
It was none of his own business, what was he thinking? Xiao Qinggu gave a wry smile and found the tricks boring. She went to a nearby restaurant to eat. She counted her coins and ordered a bowl of lard soup noodles and braised tofu.His hair was short, and even though it barely covered his ring scar, it still attracted the attention of the people around him. Fortunately, there was a festival in the city today, and there were many people around, so he was not suspected.
He asked the store which sect was short of people, and then went to the notice post. Almost all of the notices posted in Songshan were wanted orders, and most of them were against the Songgao League.
Songgao Meng... If you catch a Songgao Meng, it may not be difficult to join the Songshan Sect. The Night Ranking will help. They hope to have a needle inserted in Songshan.But Xiao Qinggu doesn't want to get too involved with Ye Bang. There is no free benefit in the world. You have to pay back as much as you owe. This is called karma, self-reliance.
Xiao Qinggu couldn't cheer up at the thought of finding a job.The disciples of the sect work as handymen every day. Even if they become the leader, they still have to deal with favors and deal with official documents. How much trouble is that?He couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.
Fang turned around and was hit on the waist. He quickly lowered his head to look and saw a little girl, wearing lotus green silk clothes. She had big eyes and looked like she came from a wealthy family.
Xiao Qinggu felt that the child looked familiar. The girl was stunned for a moment, then grabbed his arm and shouted: "You are lucky! Help me!"
"Help you?" Xiao Qing was puzzled.
"Take me to the market!" The girl pointed to the south, "Go over there!"
"Ah?" Xiao Qinggu was surprised, "Where is your family?"
"I'm just looking for my family!" The girl pointed to the market calmly, "They are over there, take me to find them!"
Xiao Qinggu had no choice but to take the girl to the market.
Halfway through, the girl suddenly stopped and stood in front of the painted candy stall, staring at the candy figure in a daze.Xiao Qinggu saw that she was looking attentively and urged: "Aren't you looking for family? Let's go quickly."
The girl points to a hovering sugar dragon: "I want this dragon!"
The sugar painter took off the sugar dragon and handed it to her: "Fifty coins."
So expensive?Just as Xiao Qinggu was thinking about it, the girl poked him with her elbow and said, "Give me money."
Xiao Qinggu was stunned: "What?"
The girl said: "Give me money!"
Xiao Qing said, "You have no money?"
The girl said angrily: "How can a little girl like me bring money?"
Is it still reasonable to co-author?Xiao Qinggu said: "You first..." Before she could finish her words, the girl bit off the dragon's beard in one bite, and the candy painter grabbed Xiao Qinggu's arm: "Your lady has eaten the candy, so you have to pay her!"
It turned out that the candy painter took Xiao Qinggu as a follower of a rich lady. Xiao Qinggu had no choice but to take out fifty coins from his sleeve.
The girl jumped forward again. Xiao Qinggu hurriedly followed, but saw her sitting in front of the chess stall and asked, "How do you play here?"
"A game of ten coins, you can choose red or black. Red comes first and black comes last. Win and lose ten times."
This kind of chess game is an end game. The red chess and the black chess look like a two-step kill, but in fact they are bound to draw. Just as Xiao Qinggu was about to stop him, the girl pushed the red cart and said, "It's your turn."
"Shi Wen, collect the money first." The old man setting up the chess stall quickly responded and reached out to ask for the chess fee.
The girl looked at Xiao Qinggu again, and Xiao Qinggu could only say: "Let's go in the next game. We can't win here, it's all a draw."
The old man setting up the stall said hurriedly: "Why can't you win? Don't talk nonsense if you don't know how to play chess!"
The girl was full of confidence: "Look at me!" She looked at the chessboard intently, and after a while asked, "Does the knight move the sun or the field?"
Xiao Qinggu held her forehead: "You can't even play chess?"
"I've been fast at everything since elementary school. I can master it as soon as I learn it, and I'll be good at it after a while." The little girl pushed the red cart, "General, dead move!"
"Little girl... the car can't go sideways." The old man running the stall was embarrassed.
Xiao Qinggu blushed, but the girl remained calm: "I see. Let's play again!"
"I have no money!" Xiao Qinggu hurriedly stopped her, "Your family will be very anxious if they can't find you! Where is your home? I will take you home!"
The girl took off her jade bracelet and asked the old man running the stall: "How many dishes is this enough for?"
The old man was speechless: "Sister-in-law, please spare me, this will make things better!"
The girl turned her head and said, "I haven't had enough fun! Take it to a pawn shop and see how much you can pawn!"
This little girl is so willful!Xiao Qinggu picked her up and scolded: "If you keep fooling around, I don't care about you anymore! Where is your home?"
"You're so stingy!" The girl pouted with her feet dangling in the air, her hands waving wildly, "You're so fussy about tens of pennies!"
Seeing her angry look, Xiao Qing burst into laughter and asked, "How old are you?"
"Ten years old!"
"Ten years old?"
The little girl felt a little guilty: "It's almost..."
"After one more game, I'll send you home, no cheating!"
The girl responded quickly.
This time she looked at the market carefully and studied it carefully. Xiao Qing knew that it was in vain.How can I put decades of skill into the hands of a little girl like you who is less than ten years old?He stood on the street and looked around to see if anyone was looking for the child in a hurry. He caught a glimpse of the beauty he had seen earlier coming towards the end of the street. He thought what a coincidence. He also thought about how big Jicheng was and that the troupe was nearby, bumping into two people. No surprise.
I saw the girl looking around, looking at her temperament and dress. She must be the daughter of a powerful person in Songshan, taking advantage of the Qiqiao Festival to go out and walk around.He also noticed that the young man next to her, although he could not see it carefully from a distance, was vaguely handsome and a good match for the girl, but he could not see the big man with the curly beard.
"Boy, your girl ran away!" the old man said suddenly.Xiao Qinggu turned around and found that the little girl was gone. He quickly asked: "Where did she go?"
The old man pointed to the alley on the street: "Into the alley."
Xiao Qinggu couldn't rest assured. She chased her into the alley and turned two corners before seeing the little girl at the other end of the alley.Xiao Qinggu caught up from behind, grabbed her by the collar, and scolded: "Why are you running around? If you meet a bad person, you will suffer. Do you think Songshan has not kidnapped or trafficked children?" The girl nodded and said: " It was indeed a chance.”
Xiao Qinggu asked: "What opportunity?"
"Look, how many people are there on the street during Qiqiao Festival?" the little girl pointed to the street and asked, "There must be at least tens of thousands of people."
"Then what happened?"
"Out of thousands of people, you bump into the same person twice. Isn't this your chance?"
"What chance, what two times?" Xiao Qing asked, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Hit me twice!" said the little girl, "once just now and again now!"
"Little girl, I came to see you!" If Xiao Qinggu hadn't seen that she was a child, she would have really wanted to give this girl a slap in the face, "Stop talking nonsense, what is your name and where do you live? I will take you back!"
"My name is Su Yinzheng. I live in a wealthy family in the city." Su Yinzheng broke away and said, "Don't you think about it, there are so many people on the street, why did I find you?"
"Yes, why?" Xiao Qing was puzzled.
"Because you have a chance." Su Yinzheng said, "I ran away just now, why did you catch up with me?"
"How can I see a child get lost?" Xiao Qinggu said angrily, "I'll take you home and reward you with a few taels of silver!"
"So you know how to seize opportunities." Su Yinzheng nodded, "Be aware that there are no coincidences in this world, everything is destined. For example, you can tell at first glance that you are not a local. Why did you come all the way to Jicheng?"
What for?It's about taking refuge and finding another place to stay.Xiao Qing thought about it but didn't say it out loud. Why would she tell a child this?
"Think about it again, why did I get lost earlier than later, but why did I choose today? Why do you and I have to bump into each other here and now?"
"You came here just to meet me. Everything in the past is the cause, and everything in the future is the result. This is destiny, destiny." The little girl talked eloquently, without any hint of guilt.
Xiao Qinggu's heart was moved. This girl talked like a child, but when she talked about metaphysics, she was very clear and logical, which was inconsistent with her age. She especially said that there were no coincidences in the world, which coincided with the Buddhist theory of cause and effect.I traveled thousands of miles from Shaolin just to get to Jicheng. As soon as I entered Jicheng, I saw this little girl. It was indeed a little evil, but the more I thought about it, the more something was wrong.He scolded: "If we bump into you, we bump into you. Either I bump into you or someone else bumps into you, or I bump into someone else. People bump into people every day."
It seems wrong to say this. According to Buddhist principles, cause and effect are in harmony, and cause and effect exist, so there is nothing without a reason.
"It's your chance that I bumped into you." Su Yinzheng said, "You have to accept your fate in order to improve your spiritual color."
"Spirit color?"
"It's not easy for you to learn this. It's a talent. Others can't learn it." Su Yinzheng shook her head, as if lamenting Xiao Qing's ignorance, with a mature look on her face, "As long as you know that you can rise to great heights by accepting your fate, you can either be rich or not. expensive."
"I have no intention of learning. You said that you will be successful..." Xiao Qinggu suddenly thought of Su Changning, the head of Songshan Mountain, and asked suspiciously, "Are you related to head Su?"
"I have nothing to do with Head Su, so you won't help me? Why are you so snobbish!"
"That's not what I meant." Xiao Qinggu thought to herself why she was so confused by this little girl, and said, "I don't care who you are, and I don't care whether you can be successful in the future. If you don't tell me where you live, I will send you into the sect. , wait for your relatives to come and get it!"
Su Yinzheng suddenly pulled the lapel of Xiao Qinggu's clothes, Xiao Qinggu bent down, and heard Su Yinzheng whisper: "I felt restless when I got up this morning. Sure enough, today is very important to you and me. You have to follow me."
"Nonsense!" Even those doubts disappeared. Xiao Qinggu took Su Yinzheng's arm and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a nearby sect!"
"You don't understand!" Su Yinzheng said anxiously, "To tell you the truth, I have magic power and a natural eye. I can see a person's spiritual color. It's just that I am young and my eyes are not open, so I can't see clearly! I I didn’t bump into you by chance, I saw that you have a good spirit! You help me, and I help you, just like a fish helps water, and water helps fish. You can survive the tribulation, and I can ascend. It’s all good! If you leave me alone, My destiny is to have a phoenix come to me to turn danger into safety, but you will be in trouble. You will be killed or injured on the wrong road! If you don't believe it..."
Su Yinzheng looked around and pointed to a fortune-telling stall: "Go and ask the fortune-teller to see if what he said is the same as mine!"
"This guest, you will not only lose money today, but also suffer a bloody disaster. I'll speak out, mind my own business, go to the temple to burn three sticks of incense and donate some sesame oil, and you can live a peaceful and simple life for the rest of your life." said the fortune teller. After that, he stretched out his hand and said, "Fifty coins are a small loss of a great cause, a small loss of a great cause."
Xiao Qinggu took out fifty coins and stared at Su Yinzheng.Su Yinzheng said disdainfully: "This fortune teller is not good at learning and must be fake."
After hearing this, the fortune teller refused to give up and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl! If I am not correct, I will come tomorrow to take down my sign!"
Su Yinzheng asked: "How old are you?"
"Two out of forty."
"Do you have any children?"
"Two sons and two daughters."
"You're keeping the rags?"
The fortune teller was surprised to realize that he was an insider in front of him, and said steadily: "I am penniless, but I am happy to know my fate."
It is said that learning Maoshan's physiognomy is to get a glimpse of heaven's secrets. Before practicing, you need to draw lots. The rags will shorten your life and you will have no descendants. One of the three will fall. If you can bear it, you can be taught the physiognomy. Many magicians who claim to practice the Celestial Master's method will wear it on their Taoist robes. Burn three holes to show your identity.If a Taoist priest is over forty, it does not count as premature death, and if he has children, it does not mean that he is childless.Xiao Qinggu didn't know the allusions to these spells, and before she could figure out what slander the two were talking about, she heard a snap sound. Su Yinzheng slapped the jade bracelet on her hand on the table and asked loudly: "Are you going to make a fortune?"
The fortune teller looked at the jade bracelet on the table. It was all crystal white and well-watered. He was afraid it would be worth hundreds of taels of silver. He hesitated for a while and said seriously: "I am a poor Taoist..."
"Let's go!" Su Yinzheng was about to put away the jade bracelet when the Taoist slammed it on the table and held the jade bracelet tightly.
"The poor Taoist's wife stole a man, and the two sons are not biological!" The Taoist priest drank air on the bracelet, wiped it carefully with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "The poor Taoist has no children and no grandchildren, no heirs, no heirs!"
Now Su Yinzheng was stunned, the little fox couldn't beat Lao Jianghu after all.
"Why are you so clever, girl?" Xiao Qinggu felt a headache while walking on the street, "What do you want to do?"
"Take me to Pujing Temple to burn incense and go to the south of the city. I will go home obediently." Su Yinzheng took Xiao Qinggu's arm and said, "Let's go."
This girl is endless...
Xiao Qinggu took Su Yinzheng to burn incense at Pujing Temple, donated a hundred incense oil money for her, and then took the little girl to the south of the city.It was almost dusk, and people had to worship the Qiqiao God on the night of the Qiqiao Festival. Most of the people gathered in the downtown area of the city. There were few people on the streets in the south of the city. Only Xiao Qinggu was holding Su Yinzheng's hand.
After he left Shaolin, he went to town to hide in Tibet. It was rare for him to have a few days of peace. After playing with this little fairy for a long time, he felt relieved and felt that this naughty little baby was also very interesting.But why is this little fairy girl getting more and more remote?He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Where are you going?"
Su Yinzheng smiled and said, "I found it!" She said and ran forward.
She ran to a small field of sorghum, turned around and pressed her head with four fingers, her thumbs on her temples, and stared at Xiao Qinggu with squinted eyes.Seeing her strange appearance, Xiao Qinggu smiled and said, "What are you doing?"
"Don't talk. I'm young and my eyes are not fully opened yet. I can only see once a day." After a while, the little girl murmured, "Gold...purple, you are purple!" Su Yinzheng screamed and pulled Xiao Qinggu's clothes said, "The land of Lu is in the east. This means that the purple energy comes from the east. It is a late bloomer! It's right, it's all right!"
To the east of Lu Di is the sea. How can it go further east?Xiao Qinggu wanted to refute, but Su Yinzheng grabbed his arm and asked anxiously: "How old are you this year? What's your name?"
"My name is Xiao Qinggu...27...why do you ask me my age?"
"I'm a bit older, but it doesn't matter. I can be a little aggrieved!" Su Yinzheng said happily, "I'll pull out two stalks and leave. You will protect me and go home. I'll talk to dad about our affairs when we get home!"
Xiao Qinggu saw many vendors in Jicheng City putting out sorghum stalks for people to take, and also saw many girls holding them in their hands. She guessed it was a custom in Lu, and it was probably because the sorghum growers were afraid that people would pick it at will and damage the crops. , take it off in advance and set aside.But he was not familiar with this custom. The Qiqiao Festival was not an important festival in the Buddhist capital, and there was not much celebration.
After all, even if there are lay monks, there are still a group of monks living in the Buddhist capital.
Xiao Qinggu couldn't help but ask: "Isn't straw everywhere?"
"The straw given by others has no effect at all. The Qiao Qiao Festival requires marriage, so the straw has to be stolen. I took two straws, one to beg for my sister, and one for myself. I couldn't look back or talk along the way. As soon as I got home, the magic was done. It’s done.”
"What spell?"
"Marriage!" Su Yinzheng said seriously, "I stole two stalks home to pray for marriage, one for my sister and one for myself!"
"You're only ten years old!"
What is going on in this girl’s head?Looking at her age, her sister is probably only twelve or thirteen years old. Why are you so anxious?Xiao Qinggu suddenly remembered Su Yinzheng's strange words just now, and asked in surprise: "What did you mean by that just now? Do we have anything to discuss with your father?"
"You still don't understand?" Su Yinzheng pointed to the sorghum field, "Marriage." Then pointed to the sky, "Qiao Qiao Festival."
"On Qiao Qiao Festival, I asked for marriage, so I bumped into you on the street. You came thousands of miles away, just today, not yesterday, not tomorrow. What is this called?"
"It's obviously you who is insisting on me..." Xiao Qing found it difficult to argue with this child.
Su Yinzheng said seriously: "There is God's will in the dark, and everything is arranged. There are no coincidences in this world, there must be a reason. This is called destiny."
Forget it, why bother with a child... Xiao Qing rubbed her forehead.Anyway, send him home and leave. Even if we meet him in Jicheng later, we will just say hello.
Su Yinzheng stood in front of the sorghum field with her hands clasped together, not knowing what to say silently, and then picked two stalks.Xiao Qinggu asked, "Okay?" Su Yinzheng shook her head and pointed to her mouth to indicate that she couldn't speak.
Xiao Qinggu had only known her for a long time and knew that this fairy girl had many quirks, so she said: "Where is your home? I will take you home..." Su Yinzheng pointed to the front and led the way.
The two of them had walked less than a mile. There were few people on the street, a few huts had lights on intermittently, and a few women were gathering quilts.There was a slight rhythmic sound from behind, and Xiao Qinggu immediately noticed it with steady and steady steps.In the past few months, he had fought against too many Haibu Yamen, and he was extremely alert, especially with such steady footsteps...
He stopped and turned around.The sky is getting dark, and the only light on the street is the subtle light coming from the window paper, the aroma of dinner and the sound of sparse clinking spatulas.
Xiao Qinggu couldn't see the person coming clearly. He was estimated to be about eight feet tall, about the same as himself. He should be a middle-aged man.
Anyone in Haibu Yamen who dares to do it alone is a master.
No, there was more than one. Another person walked out from the streets on both sides. One was holding a pair of sticks, and the other was hanging a sword.
three people?Xiao Qinggu was shocked.If the martial arts of these three people are so different, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive today. Masters with such martial arts will actually catch a wanted criminal...
Su Yinzheng noticed that he had stopped, so she stopped and walked back step by step in front of Xiao Qinggu, looking very funny.
This girl is really stubborn. If she says she won't look back, she won't look back.
Su Yinzheng raised her head twice, her eyes seemed to be questioning and a little anxious.Xiao Qinggu said loudly: "This little girl is lost, it has nothing to do with me. You three are here for Xiao, don't embarrass the little girl!" After that, she patted Su Yinzheng on the shoulder and said: "If you know the way, just go home by yourself. "
Su Yinzheng just shook her head and brought her hands to her mouth, signaling Xiao Qing to call someone.
Still think these three are not troublesome enough?Xiao Qinggu smiled bitterly.Calling for help will only make it harder for you to escape. Even with the help of the Night List, you will never be able to avoid being wanted.
With a "whoop" sound, the man following him kicked his foot, his body was like a sharp arrow, and shot out with a palm, blowing the wind in his face.Xiao Qinggu struck out with her left palm and pushed Su Yinzheng away with her right hand.The two palms met, Xiao Qinggu's body swayed, and the man took two steps back. Only then did Xiao Qinggu see clearly that the other person was a middle-aged man about forty years old.
The man seemed quite surprised by Xiao Qinggu's martial arts skills. He then lowered his waist and sat on his horse, using his moves to push open the window and look at the moon.Xiao Qinggu heard the sound of the wind behind her. When she turned around, she saw a knife coming from her waist. Another person was hitting Su Yinzheng's calf with a stick. She couldn't help but become furious that she had dealt such a harsh blow to a child!He took three steps back, leaned towards the man holding the knife with his left shoulder, grabbed the short stick with his right hand and pulled hard. The man's feet were still pulled closer to him than a foot away, leaving scratches on the muddy ground.
Xiao Qing used the stick to hold the knife, but the middle-aged man's palms were already there.This man had strong internal energy, and he was either dead or injured in the middle of the palm. Xiao Qinggu shouted loudly, and struck out with his Prajna palm, strong force against strong force.He hit the target with two palms and finally suffered a loss. He only felt that the breath in his chest was confused, as if he had received a heavy punch.
The wielder of the long stick took the opportunity to take back the weapon and shouted. The stick made heavy shadows, splitting, poking, sweeping, picking, and knocking, just like a knife, sword, stick, halberd, and whip. It turned out to be a rare Cowherd's stick, and it could be considered a beggar's stick during the Qiqiao Festival. Meet the occasion.The swordsman has a sharp sword style, and he should use a sharp knife such as the Splitting Wind Knife Technique.
Among these three people, one is serious and thick, one is clever and versatile, and the other is swift and unparalleled. If it is one-on-one, Xiao Qinggu will not be afraid, but when it is one-on-three... Haibu Yamen has such a partner, There really are no wanted criminals that cannot be caught.
Xiao Qinggu walked in the plum blossom step, passing through the flower palms on the left and right, overlapping the palms and moving between the shadows of sticks and knives. Be careful of the slow and dignified wind of the palms.He had no weapons in his hands and was defeated after a few moves.
How to deal with these three offensives?Xiao Qinggu glanced at the confiscated quilt outside the house, and with a thought in mind, she stepped back three feet.Seeing the opponent slashing with a knife, Xiao Qinggu picked up the quilt on the drying rack, threw the quilt with the wooden frame at the swordsman's pocket, and then grabbed a corner of the quilt with both hands to use the two sticks. With a slap on his face, the man quickly retreated.
This quilt is really a clever way to defeat the enemy. If you encounter palm force, you can use softness to overcome hardness. If you encounter a short stick, use the long to get the shortest. If you encounter a sharp knife, use your face to break the thread. It's like a big net covering your head, and sometimes it's like a square shield sweeping the enemy's face. Palms, sticks, and knives are all out of reach for a while.
Although he had the advantage, he was only on defense after all. He was thinking about how to escape when he suddenly saw Su Yinzheng still standing there, stamping her feet, neither looking back nor calling for help, as if she was worried about herself.Xiao Qinggu shouted: "What are you still doing there? Leave quickly!"
Seeing that Xiao Qing could not be attacked for the moment, the swordsman turned around and went to catch Su Yinzheng, but Su Yinzheng ran away.Xiao Qinggu flew to save him and greeted him with two sticks. Xiao Qinggu wrapped the quilt around her body and avoided the double sticks. She couldn't avoid the palm imprinted on her back. Fortunately, the quilt was fluffy and she was in mid-air. After removing five points of strength, the body is still writhing inside.
Xiao Qinggu rolled on the ground and threw the quilt out. The swordsman was busy catching Su Yinzheng, but he couldn't dodge and was covered by the quilt's hood.Xiao Qinggu struck out with his palm, and the swordsman was about to slash with his sword. The quilt was blocking his hands and feet, so he hurriedly imitated Xiao Qinggu and shook off the quilt to protect himself.
Logically speaking, the quilt is a soft object that can relieve the palm's strength, but unexpectedly Xiao Qinggu just happened to have learned a skill and can use soft objects to generate strength.
Kasaya subdues demons.
The palm hit the quilt, causing the quilt to dent inward and hit the swordsman's chest. With a crack, at least three ribs were broken, and the swordsman fell to the ground.
At the same time, there was a muffled bang, and Xiao Qinggu was hit hard on the back with a short stick. His throat felt sweet and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
No, you will definitely die if you don’t kill him!
Xiao Qinggu never attacks Haiping Yamen, and it is not unreasonable to catch wanted criminals. But today, facing the siege of three masters, even if they fight to the death, they may not win, so why should they consider showing mercy?He leaned forward, distanced himself, took a deep breath and turned around, his breath was thin and long.
The middle-aged man was trying to summon the Heavenly King to support the pagoda, when he slapped him with both palms at the same time. Xiao Qinggu raised his palms to greet him.The middle-aged man thought that his opponent's palm power was only slightly better than his own, and he was injured. With such consumption of palms, his opponent would be defeated faster.Unexpectedly, the palm force met him, and with two bangs, the middle-aged man screamed and fell backwards, and his arms were actually broken.
The palm of Mount Sumeru is as heavy as Sumeru.
Xiao Qinggu won by being unprepared, and immediately slapped the man with the stick on the chest with his right palm.When the stick wielder saw his companion falling down with two palms, he was already prepared, with two short sticks up and down in front of him to protect him.
Click, the stick in his right hand snapped, his arm shook violently, Xiao Qinggu struck with his left palm again, the man ducked down to avoid it, Xiao Qinggu's right palm followed closely.The stick reacted extremely quickly. He held the stick in front of him with his left hand, and smashed the half-cut stick into Xiao Qinggu's head with his right hand. With a bang, Xiao Qinggu's eyes went dark. This palm hit the left stick, knocking the other one off. A stick is on sale.
No, the biggest problem with Sumeru Mountain Palm is that it disappears into thin air if it is not hit, and its real power is exhausted after being used, which will reduce the power of other martial arts.Xiao Qinggu could have used six palms, but he was injured in front of him. After five palms, he had no more energy left. He received a heavy blow on his forehead. He was dazed and his eyes were blood red. He could only wave his palms randomly to protect himself.
Suddenly, she heard Su Yinzheng shout loudly: "Over here! Over here!" Xiao Qing sighed in her heart, she couldn't escape the law after all, and then she fainted.
■
When Xiao Qinggu opened her eyes again, she was lying on a comfortable bed, and there was incense in the room.
My head hurts so much...it hurts so much it feels like it's splitting.
"Don't move, it's okay, it's just a cracked skull." The person next to him seemed to be answering him, and then scolded, "Brother Xiao, no matter how good his martial arts skills are, he shouldn't be so aggressive. One against three, why don't you call for help?"
who?Xiao Qinggu turned her head slightly.A handsome young man stood beside the bed and said to him: "I am Su Yilin, please help me save my sister-in-law."
What?Xiao Qinggu's head was still groggy.His surname is also Su, and he is Su Yinzheng’s brother?
Su Yilin said politely: "My roommate is naughty. Fortunately, you helped us, so we are safe. The three Songgao League thugs killed one and captured one, and only one escaped. This can be considered as Brother Xiao venting his grievances."
What is the Songgao League, not the Haidu Yamen?Why does this person look so familiar? I seem to have seen him somewhere...
Forget it, don’t think about it, I’ll ask another time…
"I won't disturb Brother Xiao's rest." Su Yilin stood up and said goodbye.
But Xiao Qinggu didn't stay quiet for a moment.Su Yinzheng was sobbing and lying beside the bed, crying, even if she was really worried about him.
"In order to save you, I turned around and spoke again. My marriage is gone, and you have to pay for it!" Su Yinzheng cried.
What are you so anxious about...this little witch...
Xiao Qinggu decided to shut up and let him say whatever he wanted. This little witch must have many more reasons. His head really hurt and he didn't want it to hurt any more.
"Second sister, let Mr. Xiao rest." A girl, Pingping Tingting, walked in.Xiao Qinggu's eyes lit up, and her chaotic mind suddenly became clear. Isn't this the beauty she saw twice today?No wonder he thought Su Yilin looked familiar, he turned out to be her brother!
Su Yinzheng kept crying, and the girl wanted to drag her away. "Wait!" Xiao Qinggu quickly stopped her, "Dare you ask me..."
"My name is Su Wanqin." The woman was very considerate and introduced herself before Xiao Qing finished asking her questions. "This is my roommate Yin Zheng. I think you already know each other."
"Oh, how are you, Miss Su..." Xiao Qinggu felt that she must look very funny, so she quickly changed the subject, "Why did Miss Yin Zheng get lost?"
"My second sister is naughty. When we were watching a magic trick today, she came to the stage shouting. There was a trap under the wooden box leading to the stage, so she took the opportunity to escape."
"Who told you not to let me steal straw!" Su Yinzheng complained, "I'm still asking for a marriage for my sister!"
Oh, it turns out that Su Yinzheng was on stage during the magic trick.At that time, he didn't notice that there was a younger sister accompanying this girl. If he had noticed, he would have sent Su Yinzheng back a long time ago, and there wouldn't be so much trouble later.
Xiao Qinggu suddenly thought of something and hurriedly touched her forehead, fearing to expose the ring scar under her hair. When she touched it, she found that her forehead was covered with bandages, which just covered the ring scar. She breathed a sigh of relief, but screamed out in pain.
Su Wanqin burst out laughing, pulled up a chair and sat down beside the bed: "Young master, don't move around, or you may get hurt again."
"What time is it now?" Xiao Qing asked.
"The third quarter of Xuzheng is not Mao."
"So it's still the festival of begging for cleverness?" Xiao Qing asked, her eyes fixed on Su Wanqin for an instant.
Su Wanqin blushed, nodded, and said yes.
Ben Song is right, Su Yinzheng is right, and maybe even the fortune teller is right.
On such a day, at such a time, I traveled thousands of miles to come to such a place and met such a person...
Maybe it's destiny, Xiao Qing thought...
