Chapter 6? First smell of the nine-patterned dragon
"Brother Niu, the Shijiazhuang you just mentioned is not the Shijiazhuang at the foot of Shaohua Mountain?" Chen Kui overheard the caravan martial artist mentioning "Shijiazhuang" in their chat, and asked curiously. It seemed that
This is grandma’s destination this time.
"Yes, there is a Shijiazhuang in Shijia Village. Its owner is also the village's upright man. He is called Shi Taigong. He is warm and hospitable. We brothers have all received his favor." Niushan said, he is the leader of the hired martial arts of the caravan.
Chen Kui has lost the rotten air of a weak scholar, and with Chen Kui's deliberate dating, everyone gets along quite well, and there are no stumbling blocks. The journey is peaceful. Of course, it is impossible.
What kind of friendship is there? In fact, Niushan and others were a little flattered that Chen Kui, a scholar, was willing to chat with them. It can only be said that in the Song Dynasty, the culture of emphasizing literature over martial arts was stronger than imagined.
"That's it." Chen Kui nodded. This Taigong Shi from Shijiacun and the Grandpa Shi mentioned by grandma should be the same person.
"Speaking of Shijiazhuang, the most powerful one is Shi Dalang. He is the son of Taigong Shi. He has loved to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, and he has practiced martial arts well. He is also one of the top masters in Huayin. It is said that Lian County
None of the people here are his match." Another martial artist said.
"Not bad, not bad. Although Dalang is young, his martial arts skills are very powerful!" Niushan gave a thumbs up and said: "Half a year ago, I slept in Shijiazhuang and fought with Shi Dalang for hundreds of rounds, but I was ultimately defeated. Nine patterns
The dragon is extraordinary and majestic."
After a series of compliments, it sounds like Niushan is talking about Shi Dalang's martial arts skills. In fact, he is showing off his own record. He was able to fight Shi Dalang, one of the best masters in Huayin, for a hundred rounds before losing. Isn't he also very powerful!
Sure enough, everyone was flattering, but Chen Kui was a little distracted because he noticed three words - Nine Patterns Dragon.
"Brother Niu, is this Shi Dalang the Shi Jin who has nine dragons tattooed on his body and is known as the 'Nine-Patterned Dragon' by people in the world?" Chen Kui asked.
"Yes, it is this Shi Dalang. Has Master Chen ever seen him before?" Niushan asked.
"It's a pity that I have never met him, but my eldest brother and grandma both know him and say that this Shi Dalang is a good-natured and heroic person. He is very skilled in martial arts and is proficient in all kinds of martial arts. Brother Niu
Being able to fight Jiuwenlong for a hundred rounds without losing is really impressive!" Chen Kui said with a thumbs up.
"Hahaha, don't take it seriously or take it seriously, you will lose in the end." Uiushan touched his head and laughed.
"I didn't expect that I would come to the world of Water Margin. I really didn't expect it!" Chen Kui thought to himself. After confirming the existence of Jiuwenlong Shijin, Chen Kui naturally knew where he was. This Jiuwenlong was the character of "Water Margin".
》The first hero to appear among the one hundred and eight generals is impressive.
As for the martial arts level of Niushan in front of him, haha, Shi Jin almost half a year ago had just accepted Wang Jin as his disciple. At that time, Shi Jin was probably not even a third-rate martial artist. After all, he was beaten by Wang Jin with just one move.
After that, wouldn't it be like novices pecking each other if Uu Shan fought him for a hundred rounds?
"Wang Jin, Brother Zhang, could it be..." A thought flashed through Chen Kui's mind for no apparent reason.
"Water Margin" is a classical novel that Chen Kui likes very much, especially the first forty chapters, that is, before Song Jiang goes up the mountain. In this part, the stories are mostly personal and written very vividly. Shi Jin, Lu Zhishen,
Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Wu Song, Song Jiang, Li Kui...
I don’t want to say whether he is lovable or not, but the vivid images are not like those heroes who appeared later, and most of them are facial expressions.
Chen Kui clearly remembered that when Wang Jin first came to stay in Shijiazhuang, he also called himself Zhang. Could it be that Brother Zhang was Wang Jin?
Chen Kui originally wanted to ask his grandma directly, but gave up before taking the step. Chen Kui was born in the third generation and naturally understood why his grandma did not tell him the truth. If he went to find her now, he would be self-defeating. Forget it.
Let’s go to Shijiazhuang first, then we’ll act according to the situation.
In fact, the deeper reason is that Chen Kui doesn't know yet what he will do in the future. Should he follow his previous plan and go to the border to practice martial arts and gain a good background, or should he give up his innocence and become a bandit?
Subconsciously, Chen Kui didn't really want to choose the second path. Don't look at the Liangshan heroes in Water Margin who drank from large bowls and ate large pieces of meat. They looked very cool, but in fact they were also very downcast. Most of them were forced to have no choice, otherwise they would be in trouble.
How come there is such a saying as "being forced to go to extremes"?
However, things in the world are not up to anyone, so Chen Kui wanted to go to Shijiazhuang first to see the situation and then deal with it.
However, some people didn't want Chen Kui to get to Shijiazhuang smoothly.
When they arrived in Huayin, Chen Kui was going to Shijiazhuang, while the caravan was going to Huayin County. They were going in different directions. Chen Kui drove a donkey cart and set off alone.
"Da da da……"
On the official road, five people on horses galloped past the donkey cart driven by Chen Kui. This was not a strange thing, and Chen Kui did not take it seriously, although these five people did not look like good people.
Looking at the horses galloping away, I thought that there would be no intersection between the two sides, but after walking another three or four miles, I saw the five people tying their horses to a tree from a distance, dismounting and resting beside the official road.
After seeing Chen Kui's donkey cart, they looked at each other, picked up the donkey cart, walked to the middle of the road, and stopped the donkey cart.
This group of people were Hu Ying and others who came to Huayin to look for the Queen Mother. They were thieves in Hebei Province. They discovered the traces of Wang Jin's mother and son and reported it to the government. They did not know that the Queen Mother was in the donkey cart.
While resting, I saw someone passing by on the road. Out of professional instinct, I wanted to rob them. Mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. Don’t miss them.
"Grandma, don't come out of the car. We're afraid we'll encounter a strongman cutting the path. I'll take care of it." Chen Kui held the donkey cart and whispered.
Hu Ying, holding a simple sword, stood in the middle of the official road, looked at Chen Kui and said: "Scholar, if you leave the donkey cart, I will spare your life, otherwise I will let you try my sword."
"Big... ah!" Grandma didn't listen to Chen Kui's words and got out of the car. She was worried that Chen Kui, a scholar, had never seen the scene and wouldn't know how to deal with it. She originally wanted Chen Kui to leave the car alone. After all, it was only a short distance from Shijiazhuang.
It wasn't very far, just walk over, but after seeing Hu Ying's appearance, she yelled and recognized Hu Ying's identity.
"Hahaha, it's really hard to find anywhere without wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here." Hu Ying laughed loudly after seeing her grandma's appearance.
"We brothers deserve to be blessed! You mother-in-law, you made it easy to find our brothers. Don't panic. Our brothers are also kind-hearted and will personally send you to Bianjing today to reunite with your son Wang Jin."
