Anthology of Gu Long: The Prodigal Son of Border Town

Chapter 6
The white-clothed man stretched out three feet, touched the ground with his toes, a crane soared into the sky, and his body was pulled up into the sky like a solitary smoke.

The wilderness is silent, and the night is filled with yellow sand. Where can I see half a person?

Only the lingering rhyme of the singing remains, as if still lingering in the night wind.

The wind is howling.

The man in white shouted in a deep voice: "Since my friend intends to provoke, why don't you show up and see?"

Although the voice was low, but full of breath, every word was transmitted far away.

After finishing these two sentences, the white-clothed man has already plundered more than ten feet, and has plundered into the withered weeds beside the road.

The wind blows the weeds, like waves surging and undulating.

Can't see people, can't hear responses.

The man in white sneered and said, "Okay, as long as you are here, see how long you can hide."

He looked up at the sky, jumped upside down, went up and down seven or eight times, and returned to the parking place.

Ye Kai was still reclining lazily in the carriage, knocking on the window, and chanting in a low voice.

"...Once you enter Wanmatang, your sword will be broken, your heart will be broken, and you will never want to go back to your hometown..."

He half-closed his eyes and smiled, as if enjoying the song.

The man in white opened the car door and stepped into the car, forced a smile and said, "I don't know which lunatic is yelling and singing, Your Excellency, don't listen to him."

Ye Kai smiled lightly, and said: "Whether he sings is true or not, it has nothing to do with me, it doesn't matter if I listen or not."

The man in white said: "Oh?"

Ye Kai patted his body and said with a smile: "Look, I didn't bring a knife, and I'm afraid my intestines have already been soaked in wine; what's more, I am wandering all over the world, and I have no hometown at all. If the third boss really wants to Keeping me in Wanmatang is exactly what I wish for."

The man in white laughed loudly and said, "Your Excellency is really open-minded and very human."

Ye Kai blinked and said with a smile: "'Flying Crane in the Smoke' Yun Zaitian's three unique skills of lightness kung fu are also unmatched by anyone."

The man in white was terrified, but immediately turned his head up and smiled, and said: "Yun has been avoiding the Jianghu for more than ten years, but I didn't expect you to recognize him at a glance. You really have good eyesight!"

Ye Kai said leisurely: "Although my eyesight is not good, but the 'Pushing the Window and Looking at the Moon and Flying Clouds', 'A Crane Soaring to the Sky and Watching the Clouds', 'Eight Steps Chasing Cicadas and Chasing Clouds', these are rare light kung fu stunts in martial arts. Still recognizable."

Yun Zaitian forced a smile and said, "I'm very ashamed."

Ye Kai said: "If you still feel ashamed of this kind of kung fu, I should really jump off the car and commit suicide."

Yun Zaitian's eyes flickered, and he said: "Your Excellency is young, but not only has knowledge of superhumans, but also martial arts from all schools and schools in the world, you seem to be familiar with it, but until now, I still can't see a little bit of your origin. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Ye Kai said with a smile: "I am a prodigal son who lives all over the world. If you can see my origin, it will be a strange thing."

Yun Zaitian pondered, and wanted to ask again, when suddenly he heard "Du, Du, Du" three times outside the car door, as if someone was knocking on the door.

Yun Zaitian moved, "Who?"

No one responded, but there were three more beeps of "Duk, Tuk, Tuk" outside the car door.

Yun Zaitian frowned, stretched out his hand suddenly, and opened the car door.

The door of the car swayed, and the road flew backwards, even if it was a paper man outside, it would not be able to catch it. There are no living people.

But only the living will knock.

With a sullen face, Yun Zaitian said coldly: "Don't be surprised when you see the strange, the strange will defeat itself, only the most stupid people will do this kind of thing."

He wanted to pull up the car door, but suddenly, a hand hung down from the car roof.

A yellow and thin hand held a broken bowl in it.

A yin and yang voice said on the roof of the car: "Is there any wine, give me another bowl, I'm dying of thirst."

Yun Zaitian looked at this hand, and actually smiled again, and said, "Fortunately, there is still wine in the car, why don't Mr. Le please come down?"

Two dirty and black mud feet, wearing a pair of tattered straw sandals, one straw sandal with half of the sole missing, was shaking to and fro with the tremors of the carriages and horses.

Ye Kai was really worried, for fear that this person would fall off the roof of the car.

Unexpectedly, in a flash, this person suddenly arrived in the carriage, sitting upright opposite Ye Kai, his eyes were half-drunk and half-awake, staring straight at Ye Kai.

Of course Ye Kai was also looking at him.

He was wearing a scholar's green skirt, not only washed very clean, but also without a single patch.

Seeing his hands first, and then seeing his feet, no one would have guessed that he was wearing such a kind of clothes.Ye Kai looked at him and thought that this man was really interesting.

This Mr. Le suddenly stared and said, "Why are you staring at me? Do you think my clothes are stolen?"

Ye Kai said with a smile: "If it is really stolen, please tell me the location so that I can steal one too."

Mr. Le stared and said, "How long has it been since you changed your clothes?"

Ye Kai said: "Not too long, less than three months."

Mr. Le frowned, and said, "No wonder this place is like an abalone place, the smell is unbearable."

Ye Kai blinked and said, "How many days do you change your clothes?"

Mr. Le said: "Change clothes every few days? That's okay, I change at least twice a day."

Ye Kai said, "What about taking a bath?"

Mr. Le said sternly: "Taking is the most detrimental to one's vitality, and it must never be washed."

Ye Kai smiled and said, "You are old wine in a new bottle, and I am new wine in an old bottle. You and I already have the same skills, so why bother to fry each other?"

Mr. Le looked at him, his eyeballs were rolling, suddenly jumped up, and said loudly: "Wonderful, wonderful, this metaphor is really wonderful, you must be a wit, a great wit—here, get some wine, If I meet a talented man and don't drink two cups, he will definitely get seriously ill."

Yun Zaitian smiled and said: "You two may not recognize each other, but this is a famous person in Wudang, and also the most educated celebrity in Jianghu, Le Leshan, Mr. Le Da."

Ye Kai said: "Under Ye Kai."

Le Leshan said: "I don't care if you are Ye Kai Yeguan, as long as you are talented, I will drink three cups with you."

Ye Kai laughed and said, "Don't say three cups, three hundred cups will do."

Le Leshan clapped his palms and said, "That's right, you'll have to drink three hundred cups at a time, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon, come, let's drink."

Yun Zaitian was already in the dark drawer under the car seat, took out a wine jar, and said with a smile, "The third boss is still waiting, Mr. Le must not get drunk in the car."

Le Leshan stared and said: "It doesn't matter if he is the third boss or the fourth boss, what I respect is not the boss, but the talent—come, let's have a drink first."

After three bowls of wine, suddenly there was a sound of "Dang", and the broken bowl had slipped into the corner of the carriage.

Looking at Lele Mountain again, he was lying on the car seat and was already drunk.

Ye Kai couldn't help laughing and said: "This gentleman is really drunk."

Yun Zaitian smiled and said, "Do you know that this gentleman has another name, Mr. San Wu?"

Ye Kai said: "Mr. Sanwu?"

Yun Zaitian said: "Lust for sex but have no guts, love to drink but have no limit, love to gamble but never win, these are the so-called Three No's, so he calls himself Mr. Three No's."

Ye Kai said with a smile: "It's a real celebrity who is romantic, so why not?"

Yun Zaitian smiled and said, "I never thought that Your Excellency is this gentleman's bosom friend."

Ye Kai opened the car window, took a long breath, and suddenly asked, "When will we get to Wanmatang?"

Yun Zaitian said: "It has already arrived."

Ye Kai was startled, and said: "Could it be the past now?"

Yun Zaitian said: "It hasn't passed yet, this is also the boundary of Wanmatang."

Ye Kaidao: "How big is Wanmatang?"

Yun Zaitian smiled and said, "Although it's not too big, even if you gallop on a fast horse from east to west, if you start early in the morning, you won't be able to cover the entire distance until dusk."

Ye Kai sighed, and said: "So, does the third boss want to invite us to have breakfast?"

Yun Zaitian smiled and said, "The third boss's welcoming place is not far ahead."

At this time, there was already a faint neighing sound in the evening wind, which came from all directions.

Looking out of the window, you can already see the lights in front of you.

The welcoming place of Wanmatang is obviously in the brightly lit place.

The carriage stopped before a wooden fence.

The fence surrounded by whole fir trees is as high as three feet.There is a block of houses inside, and it is hard to tell how many rooms there are.

An arched door stands in the night, and the flagpole inside the door looks too high and unattainable.

But the flag on the pole has been lowered.

Two rows of strong men in white clothes hung their hands outside the arch, and four of them came over first and opened the car door.

Ye Kai got out of the car, took a long breath, looked around, only felt that the sky and the land were vast, beyond the imagination of people in cramped cities.

Yun Zaitian also walked over and said with a smile, "What do you think of this place, Your Excellency?"

Ye Kai sighed: "I just think that this is what a man should be proud of. The third boss can live up to this day."

Yun Zaitian also sighed and sighed: "He is indeed an extraordinary person, but it is not easy to be where he is today."

Ye Kai nodded and said, "Where is Mr. Le?"

Yun Zaitian said with a smile: "Jade Mountain has collapsed, it can no longer be done."

Ye Kai's eyes flickered, and he smiled again: "Fortunately, there are not only two of us in the car."

Yun Zaitian said: "Oh?"

Ye Kai walked over suddenly, patted the coachman who was wiping his sweat with his head bowed in front of the horse, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you have worked hard!"

The coachman was startled, and smiled apologetically, "This is what a villain should do."

Ye Kai said: "Actually, you should sit comfortably in the carriage, so why bother?"

The coachman was stunned for a while, then suddenly took off the bamboo hat on his head, looked up and laughed, and said, "Okay, it really has good eyesight, I admire it."

Ye Kai said: "Your Excellency was able to get out from the bottom of the car at the moment when it stopped halfway, tap the driver's acupoint, throw it into the weeds by the roadside, and then change his clothes. It is really fast and thoughtful. It is worthy of the words 'thin as a gossamer, as fast as lightning'."

The coachman was startled again, and said, "How do you know who I am?"

Ye Kai laughed and said, "Except for the flying spiders in the world, who can have such skills?"

Flying Spider laughed, threw off his white clothes casually, revealing a black outfit, walked over to Yun Zaitian and gave a long bow, and said: "The next game, Master Yun, please forgive me."

Yun Zaitian smiled and said, "Your Excellency is honored to come, please."

At this time, someone helped Leleshan get out of the car.

Yun Zaitian greeted the guests with a smile, and led the way first, passing through a vast courtyard.

The two white wooden doors in front were originally closed, but suddenly they opened with a "ah".

The light shines from the house, and a person stands in front of the door.

The door was already very tall, but standing at the door, this person almost blocked the entire door.

Ye Kai was not short, but he had to raise his head to see this man's face.

This man had a bearded face, was dressed in white, and was wearing a one-foot-wide cowhide belt around his waist. On the belt was a strange-shaped scimitar with a silver sheath and black handle, and he was holding a glass of wine in his hand.

The wine glass in his hand didn't look too big, but other people might not be able to hold it with two hands.

Yun Zaitian walked over first, and said with an apologetic smile, "Where's the third boss?"

The bearded giant said: "Waiting, are all the guests here?"

No matter who heard him speak for the first time, they would inevitably be shocked. When he uttered the first word, it was like a thunderstorm struck in the middle of the day, making people's ears buzzing.

Yun Zaitian said: "Three guests have come."

The giant bearded man raised his thick eyebrows, and said sharply, "There are three more?"

Yun Zaitian said: "I'm afraid it will come soon."

The giant bearded man nodded and said, "My name is Gongsun Duan, and I'm a rough man. Please come in, all three."

His speech also seems to be "broken", the previous sentence and the next sentence often have nothing to do with each other, and they cannot be connected at all.

Behind the door is a huge white wooden screen, almost two feet high. There are neither pictures nor words on it, but it has been washed clean and spotless.

Ye Kai and the others had just entered the door when they suddenly heard a sound of hooves, and nine horses came galloping out of the night.

When they got outside the fence, the rider turned his leg, got out of the saddle, and the horse stopped. Not only the movements of the riders and the horses were all in the same order, but even their attires were exactly the same.

All nine of them are wearing golden crowns, purple shirts, long swords hanging from their waists, and the gems on the scabbards are shining brightly; only one of them is wearing a purple gold belt around his waist, and a grain as big as a longan hangs from the tassel of his sword. night pearl.

All nine of them were very handsome young men, and this man was even more tall and handsome. Surrounded by the other eight people, he walked straight in boldly and said with a smile, "I'm a step late in getting down, sorry, sorry."

Although he said he was sorry, his face was full of arrogance, and anyone could see that he didn't even mean to apologize at all.

Nine people passed through the courtyard and came to the white wooden gate proudly.

Gongsun Duan suddenly said loudly: "Who is Murong Mingzhu?"

The noble young man in the purple robe and gold belt turned his eyes slightly up, and said coldly: "It's me."

Gongsun Duan sternly said: "Third Boss invited you alone, and asked your servant to retire."

Murong Mingzhu's expression changed, and she said, "They can't go in?"

Gongsun said: "No!"

A young man in purple shirt, who was following Murong Mingzhu, was holding a sword hilt, as if he was about to draw his sword.

Suddenly there was a flash of silver light, his sword hadn't been drawn out yet, it was cut off by Gongsun Duan's machete with sheath, and broke into two pieces.

Gongsun Duan put his saber back into its sheath, and said, "Whoever dares to draw his sword in Wanmatang, this sword is his example."

Murong Mingzhu's face was green and pale, and suddenly she slapped the young man beside her with her backhand, and said angrily:

"Who told you to draw your sword, get out of here if you don't tell me."

The boy in purple shirt didn't dare to say anything out of anger, he bowed his head and backed away.

Ye Kai thought it was funny.

He recognized that this young man was the one who forced him to drink last night.

This young man seemed to want to draw his sword anytime and anywhere, but it was a pity that his sword was always broken before he could draw it out.

Turning the screen, there is a hall.

No matter who sees this hall for the first time, they will inevitably be surprised.

Although the hall is only about ten feet wide, it is unimaginably long.

If a person wants to walk from the door to the other end, it may take a thousand or two thousand steps.
