Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Chapter 78 A jade on the small stone road
The customer scolded the scholar and did not forget to take away the money.

The scholar didn't take it seriously, he looked up at Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu, and bowed, his manners were elegant, "You see, you two girls are as beautiful as gods. I would like to stay for you two. I wonder if I can delay a moment or two." "

He has a burning gaze and does not hide his appearance-controlling nature, but because he has an extremely elegant demeanor and no ugly desires, he is not disgusting.

In fact, whether Li Mochou or Xiao Longnu, their appearance can indeed be called "beautiful and immortal", but now that they are in disguise, they can only be said to be average-to-average in appearance, how can they afford such praise. When others saw it, they secretly said that the scholar had evil intentions.

Li Mochou was still a little shy, so she took a step back, glanced at Lu Chen, and when he saw that he didn't speak, she said, "We can't pay."

The scholar said, "It's really an honor for me to be able to propose silent poems to these two girls. What else do I have to pay? I'll probably have to pay you as well."

His remarks were sincere and enthusiastic, regardless of the ugliness, which aroused laughter from others and made Li Mochou speechless. He felt that it was completely different from those on Mount Zhong Nan or in the Ancient Tomb Sect, where everyone was pure-minded and celibate. In Lu Chen's words, the scholar "can't fix it" for her.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Lu Chen for help.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's hard to refuse such kindness, so go ahead."

In fact, women only like their appearance, not to mention that the two of them have been in the mountains for a long time and have never experienced this. With a sense of freshness, the two of them became two "models" according to the scholar's wishes, constantly adjusting their manners, which was quite interesting.

Seeing that Lu Chen, the No. 1 financial sponsor and the top brother on the list, has not received any courtesy, and the others are even less willing to pay. Anyway, you can pay if you pay, and you can watch if you don't pay. So why should you spend more gift money?

The somersaulters are acting recklessly here, the singers are intoxicated there, and the painters are doing their own thing. Where is the business of making money?

The show of skills in the middle is naturally part by part, disconnected, and it captures people's hearts. Sometimes it is necessary to stop and make some gestures, and it is not easy to say something. The words are full of emotion, but the meaning behind the words is "you give me money." , to continue watching."

Hey, how can there be such a showman? Lu Chen couldn't help but smile.

Some people looked at the paintings, others looked at them, and some spectators shouted, "Three hundred and twenty-one, three hundred and twenty-two..." It sounded like he was talking about the young man who was doing somersaults, and he had done more than three hundred somersaults in a row. .

Lu Chen's eyes moved and he saw a wooden board next to him, with the four characters "Please reward me here" written with a brush on it. The handwriting was actually full of dragons and phoenixes, full of energy, and it was an extremely good calligraphy.

Their weird behavior attracted too many people to watch, going around and around, layer by layer, and it was all blocked for a while.

If anyone pays special attention, they will find that the time between when he takes out the money is almost the same.

But Lu Chen turned his eyes and looked to the side, where one was doing somersaults and the other was singing a major tune.

In this way, the money was piled up on the iron plate and turned into a hill. If an ordinary busker could get such a sum of money, he would be able to have food and clothing for a year and a half, but the three buskers still ignored him. dust.

As for painting, he would paint hundreds of pictures in a row. First I painted people, but later I started painting landscapes, landscapes, and markets when there was no one to draw. After I finished one painting, I put it aside and immediately dipped in ink to paint the second one.

However, the three performers seemed to be unaware, and their movements did not stop at all. They continued to sing, continue to do somersaults, and continued to paint with a brush. It was obvious that they were not moved by the money, and they did not stop to thank the donor. the meaning of.

Lu Chen tried to step forward and hand over a piece of silver. Surprises came from the people around him, and they all looked at the young master with changed eyes.

He opened his mouth, his mouthpiece moved, and his singing became even clearer and clearer, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami rushing straight to the nine heavens. The artistic conception was broad, the music style was majestic, and it suddenly rushed towards him with an overwhelming magnificence.

Most people would play and sing with an iron pipa to cope with the vastness of the words, but this was the first time that this person actually sang with the shrill erhu.

People tend to think in extreme ways from incomprehensible behaviors.

As for the singers, the songs gradually changed from the sonorous and powerful "The Great Jiangdong Goes to the East and the Waves Clean Up" to the lingering and plaintive "Willow Banks, Dawn Wind and Waning Moon". The erhu music changed its style and became miserable, giving people the feeling of a trance and dream. Many bystanders couldn't help but shed tears when they heard it.

Lu Chen said, "They are not mortals. They have extraordinary physical strength in turning somersaults, and have a long breath of singing songs. This painter also sees people's true nature... Hum, I think they are only three innate masters."

Li Mochou was startled, pulled Lu Chen and whispered, "Has he seen our disguise?"

The somersaulter has kept his movements unchanged for a long time, while the scholar is constantly painting portraits of men and women. Every stroke is skillful and varied, as if he is showing off his skills.

But it seems that the actions of these three young people are completely different.

But the tears can go away, but the money cannot be spent.

Not to mention, the scholar was just like the photographer in his previous life. He sometimes "left" and sometimes "raised his hand". He was very professional, but Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu were all posing very gracefully. When others looked at them, they gradually discovered that they were well-mannered and had a wonderful temperament that transcended their appearance.

In this way, the three people spent a long time, and the somersaulter seemed to have turned over thousands, and went straight to tens of thousands. The style of the song has changed several times or even dozens of times, without any repetition, which shows that it has a profound background.

With people coming and going like this, the status of a performer is naturally placed at a very low level, and can only be described as kneeling down to beg for food. However, since ancient times, this has always been the case, and people can often gain a lot of rewards.

Of course, Lu Chen continued to pay.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm afraid not. This young man is stupid and recognizes people by their paintings. I guess he guessed your appearance based on your temperament, slightly changed some of the ink marks, and made it right."

Lu Chen nodded secretly, knowing that this was naturally a symbol of deep inner strength and proficient skills, but if he had never really studied music theory and knew the world well, he would never have performed such a performance.

There is an iron plate under the wooden board, with a pile of copper plates in twos and threes.

Lu Chen was the only one taking out the silver. He looked at it for a while, then reached out and took out a piece of silver. He looked at it for a while, and then took out another piece of silver.

It was as if he had estimated the value of the three people's performances. He would pay as much as the time was worth, and he would never let the three of them suffer a loss.

The person next to him moved his mouth and read three hundred and forty-three and three hundred and forty-four all the way. His mouth was dry and he was tired of counting, but his movements were as stable and standard as ever, and he breathed. The whirring wind is unstoppable and frightening.

In the usual busking, the performer first completes the "cai Xing", that is, a set of kung fu that goes right to the point, but stops there, and then comes to an end, and the children come to pay the money. You have to hand over a few coins and ask the busker to say some nice words before you can continue.

On the other side, the sound of the erhu was originally sad and miserable, but in the hands of the musician, it seemed to be able to produce some sonorous, powerful, vast and far-reaching artistic conception. It made people feel that the sky was high and the sea was vast, and many of the injustices in their hearts suddenly disappeared.

They felt that this young man was so extravagant that he was just showing off his wealth, and they were just waiting for a response from the other party.

Li Mochou didn't think the innate master was a big carrot and cabbage, so she expressed her disagreement, and Lu Chen didn't argue with her. Then others came and went, but they kept crowding around the three buskers, quietly watching their busking.

After a while, the scholar's drawings of Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu were ready, and he presented them to the two beauties. The three of them looked over and saw that the two people in the painting were lifelike, and their faces had even changed a little, and they were surprisingly different. A bit of the original look.

There were always many people surrounding the three of them, but people came and went, and few stopped to watch for a long time, and even fewer of them were willing to pay.

If you listen carefully, you will find that the poem is "The Great River Goes East" by Su Xueshi.

The young man doing somersaults in front continued to do somersaults amidst the music and singing. He seemed to be unable to stop. His figure was flying and leaping, and he was doing several somersaults in the blink of an eye. It was difficult to imagine where he got the energy.

Li Mochou blinked, "Can such a thing still happen?"

The somersaulters, singers, and painters were trying their best to show off their skills, as if they were aware that they were worthy of the money, and there was absolutely no need to do the unnecessary "kneeling down to beg for food."

That being said, it certainly makes sense. If we talk about singing and performing arts, this is a common thing downstairs in Huanghe. It is grudge and sex, which is not uncommon in the world, but it is very rare for people like them to compete with real skills and real money. .

Who doesn't want to see such excitement?
After such a long time, it was still early in the morning when Lu Chen came out. The Yellow Crane Tower was covered with a light layer of dusk mist, and it seemed that he could catch the light and scattered water vapor when he stretched out his hand. But they were in a stalemate all the way until noon, when the sun was shining brightly.

There were also many people around who were inspired by Lu Chen and gave away some money. In addition to the gifts given by Lu Chen before, the plate was so full that it seemed that it could no longer hold it.

Suddenly, there was the sound of gongs and drums in the distance.

Following this sound, a group of big men came to the open space under the Yellow Crane Tower. They were all tall and thick, naked from the waist up, and placed various instruments beside them, including swords, guns and sticks.

Beside the big man, there were two stout women, holding a few pony monkeys, wearing masks, with thin chains wrapped around their necks, playing tricks.

In addition, there are some people following behind.

In fact, calling them human beings is a bit cruel.

These people either have no arms or legs, have only one hand and one foot, or have only one hand or only one foot.

There was another one who had no arms and legs and was buried in a three-foot-sized urn. His mouth was open and he was mute. He even had no tongue, which was sad to see.

In addition, there are some more terrifying ones, such as two people whose backs are stuck together and indistinguishable from each other. The body and limbs are intact, but the entire face and facial features are squeezed together. They all look very terrifying.

Obviously, this group of people are also here to perform as entertainers.

There are many circus performers in the world. In order to earn enough gimmicks, they hire disabled, deformed, and freaks to train in various tricks on a daily basis. Their performances are full of awe and compassion.

The Yellow Crane Tower is originally a scenic spot with a lot of people coming and going, making it a good place for performing arts. And they have occupied the lower floor of Huanghe Tower for many years and have always made a lot of money.

But today is different. They performed for a long time, and the number of guests they received was only one-tenth of the usual number. After all, no matter how weird they are, they will get tired of watching it for a long time. There is no such thing as a big show here.

This group of people performed for a while, and when they saw that the momentum was far inferior to that here, they immediately became anxious.

The leader quietly winked at the man next to him, and kept his movements unchanged, continuing to walk the monkey and perform acrobatics. The man nodded secretly, sneaked to the circle, picked up a small stone and hid it in the palm of his hand.

He glanced at it seemingly unintentionally, then shook his hand, and flying rocks appeared and were thrown towards the somersaulting young man.

Most of these entertainers have some skills in their bodies. This man has always been good at concealed weapon skills. The flying rocks he throws are not only fast and concealed, but also can make people unable to distinguish the source, and are surprisingly powerful.

This is a special skill. He has never performed before, and he is not afraid of being found out that he did it himself. But today is definitely different.

When he sent flying stones, Lu Chen had noticed it and patted Li Mochou's body next to him. Li Mochou snorted coldly. She didn't know whether she was unhappy with Lu Chen treating her as his subordinate, or because she was unhappy with the man plotting against her.

With a flick of his finger, a wisp of wind hit the flying rocks in the air. There was a crackling sound, and the stones fell to the ground.

At the same time, the somersaulters, singers, and painters all stopped. Lu Chen, Li Mochou, and Xiao Longnu also turned their heads. The three of them looked at the man outside the circle. The man looked frightened to them. A jump.

The six of them looked at each other again and smiled at each other.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Do you know to stop now?"

The somersaulter scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "If a person is offended, of course he should stop and think about it."

He has a similar appearance to Lu Chen's disguise, but he is a bit more handsome, with warm eyebrows and a baby face that smells like the seeds of passion. When he landed firmly on the ground and revealed his figure, he discovered that there was a strange-shaped sword on his waist.

The strange thing about this sword is the hilt. The hilt occupies one-third of the entire sword, and its shape is actually as curved as the moon.

Others had seen him getting angry with Lu Chen before, making thousands of somersaults all the way, and thought he must have an unruly temper. But now that I saw his true appearance, I felt that his warm smile seemed to warm my heart more than the sun in the sky, which was very different from what I had imagined.

The singer stood up, put away his erhu, raised his eyebrows and shouted to the man in the distance, "Brother, come and talk, we have ruined your business, but what you did just now was too vicious."

The painter also said, "Fortunately, I have this beautiful sister to help me. If you are a manly man, come here and apologize to us. We will definitely forgive you."

As soon as the man saw him, he turned around and ran away wherever he dared to come. After all, he was not stupid, nor did he run to his side. Instead, he got into the alley next to him. He was obviously familiar with the surrounding terrain.

The three of them were startled and were about to chase after them.

However, Lu Chen stretched out his hand to stop him and said in a low voice, "Don't be reckless. You must know that a monk can escape but cannot escape from the temple. It is not appropriate to make things big today." He winked at the performing arts venue on the other side.

The three of them followed his gaze and looked at the nearby field. At first glance, they all focused on the group of poor, deformed people.

Looking at those severed hands and feet, all of them were shocking, and they showed expressions of pity, but soon after, the three pairs of eyes slowly became focused, and they seemed to have discovered something was wrong.

Lu Chen said in a low voice, "Their hands and feet have been chopped off - with your martial arts skills, you should be able to tell at a glance."

The somersaulting boy also added, "The tongue was also cut off!"

When he said this, the smile on his face disappeared, his lips tightened, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble.

The singer was shocked, "How could it be so miserable? Did their whole family suffer a military disaster, or were injured by bandits?" He immediately felt something was wrong, "But how could it become stunted, only three feet tall?" Come high?”

The painter suddenly lowered his head and started crying on the spot, "How pitiful they are."

Lu Chen said coldly, "Of course there is something fishy here, but a small impatience will mess up a big plan. It is useless to attack now. Wait for the opportunity."

The singer patted the painting on the shoulder to comfort him and nodded, "You're right."

Suddenly he smiled, reached out and picked up the plate on the floor, and held it steady, "I made a fortune today, so I'll treat you to dinner. Say, whatever you want to eat, we'll treat you."

He looked luxurious and grand, as if he had no idea that all the money actually belonged to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen laughed dumbly and had no choice but to nod in response.

The six people packed up their things, took the big guys and the little ones with them, and left here together, and informed each other of their names on the way.

Their names were very familiar to Lu Chen. The one who sang was named Guo Dalu, the one who did somersaults was Wang Xiaoshi, and the one who painted was Duan Yu.

They had only met not long ago, and they had a lot of sympathy for each other. They were known as "a jade on a small stone road". They were both new people who had just come out to travel in the world, and they wanted to go to Lin'an Mansion to have a career together. But like Lu Chen, he used up all his money to help the poor and the weak on the road, so he simply went out to perform.

The three of them chatted happily with Lu Chen and admired each other, but they were not the same as the grudges and gambling that ordinary people imagined.

Because they are not angry at all.

The reason why Lu Chen kept taking out the money was because he saw that the three of them were very capable, but they were short of money but didn't act as carelessly as he did, so he deeply admired them. He secretly paid out the money one by one according to his own standards. He sincerely felt that the performance of the three people was worth the price.

The three of them kept working hard, and because they met their close friends, they felt that they had to show their best for Lu Chen. They didn't even look at him, it was just out of respect for this profession and this performance, and they were unwilling to ruin it. state.

After a pleasant exchange, they asked Lu Chen's name.

Lu Chen calls himself "Song Xu" - which means a person who has no existence in the Song Dynasty.

However, because Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu were never born and were unknown to the public, they did not hide their names. They were Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu.

To Lu Chen, the origins of the three people were actually quite clear. Guo Dalu comes from "Happy Heroes", Wang Xiaoshi comes from "Who is the Hero?", but Duan Yu is not any hero, but the famous "Dragon Movie".

If he wanted, he could reveal many unknown secrets about the three of them. But after being slapped in the face many times, Lu Chen no longer gives people one label after another according to the memory in his heart, because in this world, anything can happen.

Sure enough, both Guo Dalu and Duan Yu gave Lu Chen a "surprise".

Guo Dalu came from an ordinary family in the countryside, but he was very talented. He learned the most ordinary martial arts in the world from a series of people such as escorts, pill sellers, ditty singers, chefs... Despite its shortcomings, it has achieved something.

In the end, he was not buried, but was able to meet "Dad Zhang and Dad Zhang" who have high status in the world. This man was an upright man with a very high status in the world. He was the leader of the "Tianji" organization, but he accepted Guo Dalu as his adopted son, and taught him his superb martial arts, which made him lucky enough to be admitted to the innate world.

Duan Yu shocked Lu Chen even more. He no longer knew the Beiming Divine Art, the Six Meridian Divine Sword, and the Lingbo Weibu. But in this world, it was absolutely impossible not to learn martial arts since childhood.

He knows Yi Yang Finger, Duan's Heart Technique, and... Huajian School martial arts.

That was the peerless martial arts he was taught by an unknown old man he met when he was young. The elders of the Duan family speculated that that person was most likely the "Evil King Disciple Hou Xibai" from the Huajian Sect of the Tang Dynasty. Due to old events in the past, he traveled around the world incognito and saw Duan Yu's sincerity and sincerity, which made him become a member of both demon sects. One of the six paths.

They were honest with each other, and Lu Chen was too embarrassed to deceive, so he finally revealed his true identity. He was Lu Chen from the Quanzhen Sect on Zhongnan Mountain. The Tomb Sect of Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu also had the honor to make an appearance, which made people aware of it. The two people snorted coldly, showing off their dignity.

Naturally, the three of them had heard of Lu Chen's name, so they naturally admired him greatly and asked about many details of his trip south. As for Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu, they expressed that they had admired their names for a long time and had admired them for a long time.

Along the way, Wang Xiaoshi often tinkered with the wooden board with the words "Please reward me" written on it. Seeing him carefully erasing the writing on it, Lu Chen couldn't help but wonder, "What is he doing? "

Guo Dalu chuckled and said, "Hey, Xiao Shitou has practiced calligraphy well, which is very valuable. I asked him to write it on the wooden board, but he didn't agree at first, and then I persuaded him. He said that he had made enough money. If you want to pay for the capital, you have to erase all the words, which is a bit pretentious and sour for the literati. "

Duan Yu sighed, "Why do Dalu say that? I can also understand Xiaoshitou. Alas, all my paintings, except those for Miss Li and Xiaomei Long, are wrong and should not be painted."

Wang Xiaoshi shook his head and sighed, "Hey, Dalu, I just feel that I have treated him badly."

Li Mochou has been silent for a long time. Just because she always felt that these three people were weird and confused, they were bad friends and would lead Lu Chen into trouble, so she watched with cold eyes.

Until I heard this, I was stunned for a moment, "——Who is 'he'?"

Guo Dalu smiled and said, "Who else could it be?" He pointed to the wooden board, "Of course it's those words. Little Stone thought those words were alive."

Wang Xiaoshi said stubbornly, "Who can say otherwise? All things have animism. How long did it take me to practice them? Now, because I am frustrated in life, I invite them to work and let others reward me. I have really treated these dear friends badly. Hey..." At the end of the sentence, he let out a long sigh.

As soon as he sighed, Duan Yu over there suddenly lost his temper and threw a lot of scrolls into the river nearby, shouting, "I'm wrong, I'm wrong."

Lu Chen suddenly said, "Why are you treated so badly?"

Xiao Shitou and Duan Yu were both stunned for a moment, as if they had not thought about this problem.

Lu Chen pointed at the wooden board, "If your bad treatment refers to this wooden board, the wooden board is also a dear friend, and it complements your calligraphy? I just saw it, your handwriting follows the lines of the board, and it moves smoothly, Master. Fa Ziran is a rare good book, but this is definitely not your fault.”

He said solemnly, "Without the carpenter who made the wooden board, whose lines are continuous and undulating like clouds, how could you follow the trend and take advantage of it? Calligraphy is your brother, and the wooden board is the carpenter's friend. You value calligraphy but light wood board , is it the sour taste of the literati?

Then he turned to look at Duan Yu, "Xiao Duan, it's the same with you over there, hurry up and collect it from me."

Xiao Shitou stayed for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said, "That's the truth."

Duan Yu groaned and clapped his hands, "I also say this when I draw. If there are no beauties, how can there be pictures of beauties?"

Wang Xiaoshi looked down at the wooden board in his hand again and shouted, "Oh, didn't I greatly offend these two brothers? They were so close, but I had to order them to be broken up. What a sin, a sin!" There was regret on his face. His expression made him wish he could turn back time.

Duan Yu also looked at the scroll floating in the water, beat his chest, and shouted, "I was wrong again."

I was so busy that I rushed over there, as if I wanted to go with the current and fish it back again. Fortunately, Guo Dalu stopped him, and the two of them made a big fuss, attracting the attention of many bystanders.

Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu looked at each other and thought they were crazy and very interesting, so they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Lu Chen looked at the appearance of the three of them and laughed loudly, "You have just stepped out of one corner and entered another. I advise you not to get entangled. In life, there is no need to chase after what is not available, and there is no need to regret the past - I think it is better to start first. Food bar.”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, then looked up and smelled the aroma, and then realized they were in a restaurant.
