The leading brother fled, leaving the younger brothers without any idea. They all talked about it and agreed to come here tomorrow to fight again, and then dispersed in a hurry.
The master and the disciple had no choice but to find someone to inquire about "Xia Ke Xing" and "Bai Xiaosheng". Then they found out that "Xia Ke Xing" is a place name, but "Bai Xiaosheng" is the most famous storyteller in Nanxiang.
The two of them turned around and inquired all the way, and finally found the place.
I saw a two-story tall attic standing there, with people coming in and out underneath, and occasionally a knight-errant with a sword sandwiched between them. Instead of being afraid, the others showed kindness to him.
The ranger held his sword and walked with his head held high, as if he was quite proud of being a ranger.
This is so strange!
The master and the apprentice climbed up the steps and walked to the door. They saw the three words "Xia Ke Xing" written in flying colors on the huge door plate. There were also a line of large characters on both sides of the door.
When the man saw those two lines of big characters, he felt as if his chest had been hit with a huge force. He was dumbfounded and stood there in a daze, with his mouth wide open, but unable to speak.
After a long time, he took a long breath, his face turned slightly red, and he shouted loudly, "Okay!"
After I finished shouting, I realized that it seemed a little rude.
Looking at it in a blink of an eye, the people around him seemed not surprised by his behavior, and some even gave him understanding smiles: Every ranger who comes here because of his reputation will have this kind of behavior when he first arrives here.
Behavior.
The two masters and apprentices, who thought they were well-informed, naturally had no idea that in the eyes of others, their behavior was just like two rookies who had just arrived in Nanxiang.
The two of them could not help but look at the two lines of large characters on both sides of the door.
On the right it says: The Greatest Hero.
On the left it says: For the country and the people.
The knight-errant is despised by the world because he values private justice and despises public law. He is a man of life and death and does not love his body. The world is first afraid of him and then disgusted with him.
But these two sentences suddenly pointed out a bright road to the world's wanderers.
It gives a man the feeling of walking in the dark for a long time, and suddenly a colorful morning glow appears before his eyes.
At that moment, he seemed to have an epiphany and sighed, "This sentence alone is enough to comfort me during this trip."
Seeing these two sentences, he suddenly felt that his previous desire to compete with others was somewhat insignificant.
Stepping into the attic, what greeted you was a completely black entrance made of an unknown material.
The people coming in and out all passed by on both sides of the entrance, and there were also two or three people wearing swords standing in front of the entrance muttering to themselves.
The master and apprentice stepped forward and took a closer look. They saw a poem engraved on the entrance door. The title of the poem was the name of the attic: Xia Ke Xing.
"Zhao Keman has Hu Ying, Wu Gou has frost and snow is bright. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star..."
As soon as the man read the beginning, he felt the blood all over his body swelled, and he couldn't help shouting, "Okay!"
This sound finally aroused dissatisfaction from others. Seeing the reproachful looks cast by the people around him, the man quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was really quick to speak after seeing such beautiful words."
The man nodded slightly, looked the man up and down, and his eyes fell on the long sword at the man's waist. He understood that he was a member of the same kind, and then his eyes softened and he asked, "Is this gentleman new to Nanxiang?
"
"Exactly."
"I wonder where the fairy land is?"
"Youzhou."
The other party was shocked, "The name of Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng in Nanxiang has spread to Youzhou?"
"No. I have been traveling in Guanzhong in the past two years and came across Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's masterpiece, so I came here because of its fame."
"I see."
"How did this gentleman know that someone was born for Lanling Xiaoxiao?"
the man asked curiously.
The other party laughed, pointed at himself, and said, "How many of the rangers who come here are not here because of Lan Ling's smile?"
The man nodded, "That's right."
The two of them smiled knowingly and turned their heads to appreciate the poetry on the porch.
When the man saw the sentence "Kill one in ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles" next to "Speed like a shooting star", he suddenly subconsciously grasped the long sword at his waist and almost drew it out.
The murderous spirit in the poem, coupled with the font with iron strokes and silver hooks, makes people tense up immediately.
When he read "Three cups of wine, the five mountains are lightened", he felt that his whole body was in a deep state of consciousness, and his body seemed to be floating in the air along with the poem.
If it hadn't been for years of experience in life and death that left him with a trace of reason, he would probably have performed a sword dance on the spot.
"Even if the bones of a dead hero are fragrant, I will not be ashamed of the world's heroes. Who can write your Excellency, Baishou Taixuan Sutra?"
After reading to the end, the man was still mumbling to himself, repeatedly reciting the two sentences "Even if a hero dies, his bones will be fragrant, and he will not be ashamed of the world's heroes." His eyes were blurred, his whole body was tense, and he was trembling slightly. He only felt that in this state,
This is really what I want in my life.
The fonts on the black porch are as red as blood, just like the hot blood flowing in my body.
Looking down, when he saw the four words "Jincheng Feng Yong" written on the last signature, the man finally breathed a long sigh of relief, with a look of reverence in his eyes, "I originally thought that only Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng could recognize it."
With the word chivalrous, I didn’t expect that there would be another Feng Langjun.”
"Well said, I also wanted to say this."
The person who had just been chatting with him said from the side, "Every time I enter this knight's shop, I have to observe it here. Feng Langjun's article really wiped away the world's bad views on knights. Just based on this article,
Feng Langjun is already considered a highly respected person among my followers."
"I think so too. Your Excellency, Han Long, Han Qianyong, this is my disciple Liu Hun and Liu Polu. May I ask your surname?"
When the man heard the other person's words, he felt like a close friend, and he immediately wanted to make friends.
"A certain person's name is Gongsun Zheng, whose courtesy name is Boyan. He is from Longxi."
Gongsun Zheng hugged Han Long and saluted Liu Hun, "I've seen this little brother before."
After the three of them greeted each other, Han Long said, "Longxi is not far from Hanzhong. Since Brother Boyan is from Longxi, where can I visit Lanling and get a happy life?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Zheng also smiled bitterly, "To be honest with you two, I came here because of the reputation. I have been staying in Nanxiang for two months now. I have inquired about it for a long time, but I have never heard of anyone knowing this person. people."
Han Long couldn't believe it after hearing this, "This Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng is so mysterious?"
"Yes! Even here in Nanxiang, everyone only knows his name but not his person."
Gongsun Zheng sighed.
Han Long couldn't help but be disappointed after hearing this.
Gongsun Zheng saw his expression and knew what he meant. He immediately explained, "Brother Qi Yong, you don't have to do this. Even if you can't find Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, you can travel here and it will be worthy of your trip. "
After hearing this, Han Long nodded and said with relief, "That's right. A certain person just said outside the door that if you can see that 'a great chivalrous person serves the country and the people,' then the trip will be worthwhile."
"It's beyond unexpected that I can see Xia Kexing Yiwen again. It seems that someone is too greedy."
"Haha, I'm afraid there's more." A mysterious smile appeared on Gongsun Zheng's face, "Brother Qianyong, just go inside, I'm afraid there will be some surprises."
"Oh? Then please ask Brother Boyan to lead the way."
"Okay, please." Gongsun Zheng extended his hand in salute, and said as he guided the two of them inside, "It's perfect that you two have just arrived in Nanxiang and settled down at this knight's residence."
"Can I stay here?"
"Not only can you stay and stay, but the food is also rare and delicious. When it comes to Nanxiang storytellers, Bai Xiaosheng is the well-deserved number one. He lectures twice a day, one at noon and one at Youshi. He lives here It's just convenient to listen to his story."
Gongsun Zheng introduced as he walked, "The first floor here is a place for dining. This knight's row has a backyard, which is where to stay."
The three of them crossed the entrance and walked through a not-so-long corridor, and their eyes suddenly opened up.
This is a huge space.
A long red blanket was spread on the ground, dividing the hall into two halves. There were tables and chairs on one side and desks on the other. It depends on everyone's habits, whether they like to sit down to eat or kneel down to eat.
At the end of the blanket, there is a high platform, which seems to be the place where Bai Xiaosheng's storytelling takes place.
"It's not yet time for Bai Xiaosheng's storytelling. If Brother Qianyong is not hungry, you might as well go to the second floor first."
"The top floor of the Xia Ke Xing is the place where the knights must go. From above, you can overlook the wonderful scene of evil spirits coming to the world in the distance. You can enjoy two of the four wonders of Nanxiang if you stay at the Xia Ke Xing."
Gongsun Zheng said enthusiastically.
There was originally a waiter dedicated to picking up guests in the Xia Ke Xing, but when he saw Gongsun Zheng, an old customer, personally leading the new guests upstairs, he immediately bowed his hands to Gongsun Zheng and expressed his gratitude.
When Han Long got to the second floor and saw the layout inside, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It was filled with weapons, including the most common long sword, the Huanshou Dao.
There are also sticks, short spears and other objects, most of which are dark in color, and it is hard to tell whether they are made of iron or wood.
Among the many weapons, the one in the middle is a sword standing on a counter.
I saw that the total length of the knife was about seven feet, the blade was three feet long, the handle was four feet long, and there was an iron drill underneath.
The blade is somewhat similar to a zanma sword. It is slightly curved, extremely sharp, and shines coldly. Thunder clouds and lightning are engraved on the blade, and blood grooves are cleverly made.
The whole knife looks noble and aloof.
"This is... the Purple Lightning Sword?"
Liu Hun recognized it at a glance and shouted excitedly.
"Brother Polu has a good eye. This is the purple electric sword."
"So this is what the Purple Lightning Sword looks like?"
If there is a purple electric sword, there will naturally be a blue frost sword.
What he saw standing crosswise with the purple electric sword was a sword with a gleaming cold light.
The shape of the sword is not beyond imagination, only the guard and hilt are unique and delicate, full of nobility.
The blade of the sword is very cold, and at first glance, you can tell that it is a rare sword in the world.
"Didn't you say that these two swords have been broken?"
Liu Hun rushed to the counter, stretched his neck, and looked at it carefully.
The shopkeeper next to him had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, so he came over and explained enthusiastically, "I want to teach this gentleman to know that this is a copy made by our knight shop, and it is not the real thing."
"I see, but even if it's a replica, it looks like a rare treasure!"
Even someone as calm as Han Long praised him.
"Of course it is a treasure. Not to mention the two precious knives and swords, even those long swords are also rare things. The swords that are usually used are just like scrap metal in front of these swords."
Gongsun Zheng took off the long sword from his waist and handed it to Han Long, "It took me two months to buy this sword from here. Brother Qian Yong can take a look."
Han Long made a "clang" sound, slightly pulled out the sword, and the coldness rushed towards him.
Han Long returned the sword to Gongsun Zheng and looked at the weapons inside, his eyes full of desire, "Are these weapons for sale?"
Gongsun Zheng nodded, "Sell it. But you won't receive money, food, gold, silver or other items. You can only exchange for the reward."
"What is a reward?"
The shopkeeper was very alert and quickly handed over a brochure.
"Brother Qian Yong, please take a look. Here are the bounties that others have entrusted to the Xia Ke Bank. As long as you complete one of the items here, there will be a corresponding bounty. As long as you accumulate enough bounties, you can exchange your favorite weapons here."
"Escort Mao Bu to Wudu Qishan..."
"There is a barbarian tribe in the East Wolf Valley of Wudu that is doing evil. Scout its terrain and kill its leader. If you complete one of them, you can get half of the reward..."
Han Long opened the book and saw that each page contained what he had to do and the rewards he could get after completing the tasks. The difficulty and difficulty were different, and the rewards were different.
There is even a reward offered by the government: "There is an evil ranger named Wang Da, who has killed several innocent people. I have ordered them to be arrested and live or die. You can ask the knight for details, or you can go to the government office..."
After listening to Gongsun Zheng's explanation, Liu Hun saw his favorite weapon inside. He couldn't help but stepped forward to watch it for a while and asked, "Can I buy this horse with a reward?"
"This gentleman has good eyesight. Apart from the purple lightning blue frost, this horse tree is the most precious. All three of them are treasures that cannot be exchanged for rewards."
"Why?"
"Because these three treasures were placed here specially by Feng Langjun, entrusting the help of Bidian to find a suitable person."
"Feng Langjun?"
When these words came out, not only Liu Hun, but also Han Long also looked up.
When they saw the song "Xia Ke Xing" in the entrance hall, they knew that this place must be closely related to Feng Langjun. Unexpectedly, Feng Langjun actually put something here?
"How can we be considered a destined person?"
Liu Hun asked eagerly.
"Even the villain doesn't know this."
The shopkeeper shook his head.
"What's the point of this? Put it here, but don't tell how to get it..."
Liu Hund was very dissatisfied.
"Feng Langjun left a message, Zidian Qingshuang, and this horse tree are treasures in the world. If you are not destined to them, even if you are destined to them, you will not sell them even if they are ten thousand taels of gold (a lie). If you are destined to them, they will not be sold." , you don’t take any money, you can also give it as a gift (truth with conditions attached).”
It's a weird thing to say, but these rangers just do this.
They saw the sentence "A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people" before they entered the door. They also read "Xia Ke Xing" as soon as they entered the door.
Normally, loyalty comes first, but now that I heard these words, I really felt that Feng Langjun was really one of my own, and he was also the kind of hero who regarded money as dirt and would give thousands of gold to those who shared his loyalty.
If any of them had listened to the commentary of "Unparalleled Loyalty and Righteousness" and their blood boiled, they would have wanted to kill each other.
Cutting one's neck means wiping one's neck.
Don't underestimate the importance that knights in the Han Dynasty attached to loyalty. The saying "if you live or die, you don't love your body" is not an exaggeration.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a hero named Guo Xie who was famous for a while. Not only were the knights willing to kill people for him and took the responsibility for him, but they didn't want him to know about it.
When he was being hunted by the authorities, the people who helped him hide would even commit suicide on the spot in order to prevent his traces from being revealed when faced with inquiries from the authorities.
Now that the world has been in chaos for decades, the knights in the world have gradually disappeared, and they no longer have the grandeur of the knights traveling all over the world in the Han Dynasty.
After all, no matter how awesome the Ranger is, he can't stop the rolling wheel of history!
Nowadays, although the number of these rangers in Nanxiang is not large, there are about ten people, but they all come from all over to attract their fame.
But they didn't know that the Feng Haoxia in their hearts was a ghost king who ate people without spitting out their bones.
Because there are many times more rangers who disappeared in the mines than those who stayed and lived well in Nanxiang.
The rangers who can survive in Nanxiang are all those who are willing to abide by the order of Nanxiang and have prospects for reform. In other words, they are those who have been deceived into lameness, or are about to be deceived into lameness.
The ranger who was crippled by being deceived, coupled with the habit of attaching great importance to loyalty, some people are willing to cut their necks to follow him, it is not a lie.
Feng's magical skill of deception has a long history and cannot be resisted by ordinary people.
From the moment they read the biographical novel, they were deceived.
Then they took the trouble to come to Nanxiang and heard the storyteller's commentary, which was their first entry.
For example, Master Han Long and his apprentice were already getting better and better from the moment they stood at the door of "Xia Ke Xing".
At this time, when he heard the shopkeeper relaying Feng Langjun's words, he looked solemn at the moment, "So that's it. It seems that someone was too frivolous, soiled Feng Langjun's friendship, and was rude and disrespectful."
