Chapter 17
By the dock in the county town, Ning Jiang, who bought a small boat, stood on the bow of the boat, and looked into the distance with his hands behind his back.●⌒,&Literature&Fiction
Behind him, Xiao Meng shook the oars, while Chun Jianli waved goodbye to Hu Man and Hu Shuang on the pier.
Watching the ship gradually sailing away from the dock and descending along the water, Hu Shuang said: "Sister, who is this Young Master Ning?"
Hu Man shook her head. At first, she thought that the Ning surnamed was just a rich child who failed to learn literature and turned to Taoism. However, even if it was to learn Taoism, it was too exaggerated to give him money to others. Xiaochun and Xiaomeng were so beautiful and beautiful that they could eat. Even women like her were attracted to the two lovely people who were moved by her. They accompanied him all the way with the idea of giving up their bodies. They could not even give up his idea of spending all his family wealth and turning into Taoism.
I think it would be an ordinary person who would be liked by such two outstanding girls.
After seeing off the three people, the siblings turned around and walked back, crossed a street, and someone suddenly shouted in a teahouse: "Isn't this Miss Man, Brother Shuang?"
Hu Man and Hu Shuang looked at them together, and saw that the one who called them was Xiao Zhang, a famous hero from Chenzhou. Xiao Zhang, who was in the "Seven Bird Sword". In the past, he was generous and famous in Chenzhou, and he also had some kindness to them. Hu Man took his younger brother into the teahouse and smiled and said, "How did Xiao Xia be here?"
"Seven Bird Swords" Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "When I come to Jianzhou, there are some things to do."
Hu Man said: "Looking at how happy Xiao Daxiao is, can Sister Qing's illness be cured?"
She knew that Xiao Zhang had an only daughter, called Xiao Qing, and was always the pearl in his hand. She was smart and knowledgeable. Last year, Xiao Zhang had an enemy who secretly applied poison injections to seek revenge on Xiao Zhang. Although Xiao Zhang avoided it, his daughter was given an injection. Over the past few months, Xiao Zhang has been asking for famous doctors for his daughter, but never cured his daughter. Not only has it not been cured, but every famous doctor he invited asserted that Xiao Qing would not live in the second half of the year.
Now seeing Xiao appearing here, with a spring breeze on his face, it is obvious that Xiao Qing's disease has been cured, otherwise Xiao Zhang would not be in the mood to run to such a place
Xiao Zhang brushed his short beard and said, "Miss Duo Chengman cares, the little girl's poisonous disease has indeed been cured."
Hu Man said in surprise: "I don't know if it was the famous doctor who cured Sister Qing." She knew that in order to save her daughter, Xiao Zhang had almost invited all the famous doctors south of the long river, and they were helpless. At this moment, she learned that Xiao Qing had recovered from health, and was so happy that she couldn't help but be curious.
Xiao Zhang thought for a while and said, "Do you know the sick young master?"
Hu Man said in confusion: "I have never heard of this person when I am sick."
Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "It's normal that you and your brother have never heard of it. This sick young man was just unknown in the world in the past, but this year, he did a big thing."
Hu Man and Hu Shuang looked at each other and asked together: "What's the big deal?"
Xiao Zhang said: "This incident happened in the capital. It can be said that it has spread all over the country, but the crossings and the Central Plains are too far apart, and fewer people know about it."
Continue, "Have you ever heard that the Quanqing Sect, the Quanqing Sect, is a newly created Taoist sect. Over the years, it has been very popular in the capital city, and almost replaced it on the north bank of the river. The Quanqing Sect leader Wang Yiqing is also a master at the level of the master. The five Qing Sect under the sect are all among the first-class people. Despite this, the Quanqing Sect, which is hypocritical on the surface, is secretly a thief and prostitute. He uses various despicable means to seize territory. It is a real scum of the Jianghu Lake. Relying on their despicable means that violate the morality of the Jianghu, many gangs of all sizes in the capital were secretly controlled by them. Fortunately, at this time, someone used extraordinary means to form a righteous alliance specifically against the Quanqing Sect, and gradually exposed the Quanqing Sect collusion with the Zoroastrianism, and exposed various conspiracies such as the Zoroastrianism, and revealed to the barbarians and Miao people, and eventually wiped out the Quanqing Sect."
Take a sip of tea slowly and said leisurely: "Now everyone knows that the sick young master who secretly formed the righteous alliance is the sick young master. I heard that this sick young master was seriously ill and did not know how to do martial arts, but he was a chivalrous man who was really rescued and acted on the law for heaven. He led five subordinates to support and rescue those weak sects oppressed by the Quanqing Sect. I don't know how many people have given me kindness. After the Quanqing Sect was destroyed, he hid his merits and fame and disbanded the righteous.
Qi Alliance, without any concern for power, if it weren't for the Three Laws Offices who used various clues to dig him out step by step, even in the Zhengqi Alliance, the knight who was rescued by him in danger, wouldn't have known that there was such a person. However, even so, everyone knew that there was such a sick young man who could not do martial arts but helped the weak. No one knew his true origins until now, but the dragon saw the head but not the tail."
Unexpectedly, such a number of people appeared in the Central Plains, Hu Man and Hu Shuang were both surprised.
A sick young man with unknown origin and no martial arts skills set off a storm in the capital city and overthrew an evil force composed of scum in the rivers and lakes. This alone is enough to become a "rising legend", not to mention that he is still so mysterious.
"Transpoken for the sake of righteousness and wealth" and "doing the way for heaven" can be said to be the greatest praise for a person in the world. These people in the world do not respect the heavens and do not worship the earth, even the old emperor may not take it seriously. However, when he heard that there was such a good man who was loyal to wealth and practiced the way for heaven, he wished he could accept it and worship it. This sick young man was obviously such a good man.
Hu Man said: "Xiao Daxia suddenly mentioned this sick young man, could it be?"
Xiao Zhang said: "There are quite a few people in the disbanded Zhengqi Alliance who have a good relationship with Xiao. Whenever they mention the sick young master who is not seen at the head and the tail of the dragon, they all praise him. Although Xiao heard of his reputation, because he is in the capital and I am in Chenzhou, they have nothing to do with each other and did not care about it. But later he heard that this sick young master was not only righteous and frugal, but also proficient in medical and escape methods such as unpredictable methods of gods and ghosts. When Xiao heard about this, he invited him, hoping to invite him to take a look at him for his daughter."
He continued: "Actually, Xiao had been desperate, and he was just a desperate attempt to seek medical treatment. He didn't want to let go of any hope. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, a person rushed to my house overnight. This person called himself Qin Er and said that he was sent by the sick young master. But it turned out that the sick young master learned that my daughter was injured by a poisonous needle and the toxin could not be removed. He hurriedly sent him and brought a treasure over. Along the way, there were as many as five horses that were exhausted, and he said that his young master was also on the way."
He sighed: "When Xiao saw the treasure brought by Qin Er, he knew that my daughter was saved. He thought that sick young master was not close to me, Xiao Zhang, and he had no friendship in the south of the world. He had never had any friendship. He just sent the treasure thousands of miles away because of a reluctant request from someone to pass on it. As for this, this chivalrous demeanor was probably the ancient Mengchang, but it was just like this."
Hu Man smiled and said, "It seems that this sick young man is indeed well-known."
He also said: "I don't know what the sick young master looks like."
Xiao Zhang said: "Mr. Xiao has never seen him."
Hu Man said in surprise: "Didn't Xia Xiao say that the sick young master is also rushing to the Ling Mansion."
Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "It was indeed true. However, before he arrived, the little girl had been cured by the Qin Er sent by him with the treasures he brought. Several famous doctors nearby saw the little girl again. They all said that the toxins in the little girl's terminal condition had disappeared, as if a miracle had happened. As long as you take care of it for a few days, you will be fine. After learning that the little girl was well, the second hero of Qin told Xiao that his son was seriously ill. In this hot summer, he went south and was injured. He hoped that he could rush back to tell him. Although Xiao was very grateful to the sick young man and hoped to thank him personally, he knew that he was weak and sick, and the little girl was fine, so he didn't want to bother him to go south anymore. After all, a place like Chenzhou is a place of scorching heat."
Then he said: "The sick young man, after receiving the reward from Qin Erxia, never came, and Xiao has never met until now."
Hu Man said: "This sick young man is indeed a man who is eager to be righteous. I really hope that one day, Brother Shuang and I will meet each other." He asked again: "Sister Qing has just recovered from a serious illness. Why didn't Xiao Xia spend more time with her at home and come to Jianzhou again?"
Xiao Zhang said: "This is related to the sick young master. After the little girl recovered from illness, Xiao was grateful and wanted to repay the sick young master many times, hoping to have a chance to repay him for his kindness to save the young girl. The sick young master repeatedly asked someone to answer, saying that he was just a mere effort and did not seek repaid. However, although he did not seek repaid, Xiao was not a person who did not repay the kindness. Later, the second hero of Qin came again and said that the sick young master had something to ask. He said that there may be an unfair thing in the south recently, and I hope I can come and see it."
Hu Man asked, "I don't know what kind of unfair things it is."
Xiao Zhang said: "I don't know this, actually. I asked the second hero of Qin. What the sick young master wanted me to do. The second hero of Qin said that the sick young master had no explanation. He just asked me to go south to take a look. If there was any injustice, it was based on the word chivalrous. You also know that I, Xiao, had already seen something unfair. If not, I would not implicate my daughter injured by the poisonous needle of a raped person. It would be fine if I didn't know. Since I knew that something unfair happened here, I would always come over to see it, let alone the sick young master's entrustment."
Hu Man said: "So that's it. This sick young man is really acting strangely and unconventional."
The three of them are talking about the sick young master who is like a dragon in the recent legend of the world. On the other side of the teahouse, a storyteller has also set up a desk and slapped the stone: "All guests, last time we said: Ning Caizi's top scorer in the golden list, the eldest princess Biluo has an immortal name, everyone may ask, everyone knows the top scorer in the golden list, but why does Biluo have an immortal name, and listen to me one by one."
At dusk, on the mountains far away on the river bank, a layer of golden light spreads out. The birds preparing to return to their nests are hovering on the top of the mountain. The melodious bird calls rise and fall, and interweave a crisp music.
On the rippling water surface, with the river bank to the west as the center line, the mountains and sunset, and their reflections are like a freehand landscape painting, with reality and haze contrasting with each other. The spreading golden light is symmetrical above and below the river bank line, and then slowly converges, and the sunset sinks into the mountains bit by bit.
Night fell behind it, but the moon had already hung in the air early. Although it was not as bright as the golden crow, it brought a more charming moon view. The boat under the moon slowly descended along the water flow, and under the boat, reflected the moon shadows that swayed with the waves from time to time.
It was like the misty sliding in a dream, and the gorgeous beauty on the boat, which was as beautiful as the painting and intoxicating. The girl in the autumn-scented chest-like skirt was shaking the oars, like half a cylinder laying in the cabin on the boat. The bright red girl gently curled her lips: "Isn't it for you to give me a face?"
Opposite her, the young man in the green shirt laughed and said, "You guys make up stories by yourself, why is it my fault again?"
Thinking about the strange expressions of the Hu brothers and sisters looking at them when they parted, the boy of course knew that this was Jianli and Xiaomeng making up stories, and Hu Man and Hu Shuang, who were already shocked by the strength they showed, were really frightened by them.
The girl in red snorted and looked at him: "Didn't you say that after you arrive in this area, you should start pretending to be sad or deep, or else, in the future, someone asks us how our top scholar ran to Longhu Mountain, and if you want to be a Taoist priest, how do you ask us to answer?"
Ning Jiang laughed and said, "That's right." Then, on the small square table between the two, he lit up the oil lamp, took out a piece of Shu paper, and painted it on it.
The girl in red knelt opposite him, with her hands supporting her flawless face in the shape of a flower. She looked curiously at his Shu paper and saw the three big words "Longhu Mountain" written in the center of the Shu paper. She drew circles on these three words, one by one, and the lines spread like spider webs, connecting many strange small characters.
She said curiously: "Why do we have to go to Longhu Mountain, you won't really want to be a Taoist priest, right?"
Ning Jiang lowered his head, drew lines on Shu paper with a quill pen, and replied casually: "Isn't it possible?"
The girl in Hongchang changed her hands to fold on the table, raised her fragrant buttocks slightly, looked forward with a delicate body, and said in a low voice: "I remember that the Taoist priests of Zhengyi Sect are different from the Quanqing Sect. The Taoist priests there can be married, right?"
Ning Jiang raised his head and looked at her: "Why do you ask this?"
The girl in Hongchang blushed and she turned her face to the side: "That's just asking."
The boy laughed and gently scraped her cute nose with the feather tail of the quill in his hand: "It's OK."
The girl in Hongchang's face turned redder, like a peach, and was charming: "I'm really asking." After a while, she looked at the boy again and saw him continuing to write something on the Shu paper, so she leaned her head again and asked in a low voice: "You haven't told me why we are going to Longhu Mountain yet."
The boy lowered his head: "Do you know the Longhu Mountain? Why is it named after the Dragon and Tiger?"
The girl in Hongchang smiled and said, "Isn't it just the legends compiled by those Taoist priests who pretend to be a god and a ghost, saying that the first generation of Zhengyi Sect's celestial masters refining the Nine Heavens Divine Pills in Longhu Mountain. The elixir was made and the dragon and tiger were now the same as the real one."
