Three hundred and fifteenth town three mountain eight
The news that the top five positions on the mountain were actually handed over to outsiders reached the ears of all the gangsters in Xiaoyao Mountain faster than the mountain wind. Several big bosses who had been fighting openly and secretly for this position looked at each other when they heard this.
Many of these big bosses had old friends who had a sworn relationship with Wu Erlang. They also heard that the man who came down from the mountain seemed to be falling from the sky at a young age. They became more and more angry in private, but no one dared to openly question the head of Xiaoyaoshan.
The two heads of the second family had agreed upon the matter, and since the other two heads of the family were not on the mountain, it was a matter of course that the position of the fifth head of Xiaoyao Mountain would be assigned.
A spacious side hall that was swept out by a few minions hurriedly became Wei Changpan's residence. Although even the linen paper on the flower window grille was in tatters, he let the mountain wind howl in and sway the oil lamp.
However, one can still see from the mirror-smooth blue tiles on the floor the scene of this side hall when the incense was at its peak in the past. It must have been filled with smoke and an endless stream of faithful men and women.
The day after entering the mountain, Xiaoyao Mountain had to kill chickens and sheep to cleanse the family of the fifth leader who had just arrived. He gently caressed the red quilt that the gangsters on the mountain had kidnapped from the family of their relatives. Wei Changpan looked around and packed up hastily.
With so many furnishings, this side hall looks a little cold, and one can't help but feel as if it's from another world.
The top priority is to contact Su Qilian and his Jinzhou military attachés at the foot of the mountain, and tell the truth about the garrison situation on Xiaoyao Mountain before discussing how to kill people. However, the only way to go up and down Xiaoyao Mountain is through the tightly guarded mountain road. Wei Changpan had only been up the mountain for one day and he wanted to do it openly.
Going down the mountain, how could Wu Erlang and Jiang Beipo not be suspicious?
Once the plot is exposed and falls short, then based on what he saw with his own eyes today, the defense of Xiaoyao Mountain, and a group of more than 20 people trying to attack Xiaoyao Mountain and kill Wu Erlang is nothing more than a dream, not to mention the traps of rolling stones and hidden sentries.
, given that Wu Erlang inadvertently showed a martial arts realm that far exceeded Wei Changpan's expectations today, even if Xiaoyao Mountain fell, it would not be difficult for him to retreat alone.
The big guy named Zhao Hou'er has changed his face since he became the fifth head of Xiaoyao Mountain. Most of the furniture in this side hall was brought from the warehouse on the mountain by this big guy.
He picked some high-quality materials, dried them, washed them and brought them in. What's more, this big guy who was thinking about how to make up for the situation secretly asked Wei Changpan privately if he wanted to go to the flower rolling kiln at the foot of the mountain.
Wei Changpan, who had just learned Suzhou's local slang from Su Qilian before going up the mountain, only had a partial understanding of it, and did not understand the meaning of the flower rolling kiln in Zhao Hou'er's mouth, until the latter made a gesture known to all men in the world and then showed his narrow-mindedness.
With a look on his face, he finally understood what Zhao Hou'er meant by the ginning kiln, so naturally he refused.
....
"It's rare to see a cat that doesn't like meat. Fortunately, Master Jiang, you, an old acquaintance of yours, are very determined at such a young age." Wu Erlang, who was standing on the roof of the hall, raised a wine jar and poured a sip of Xiaoyao into his mouth.
Jiang Beipo, who was sitting side by side with the self-brewed clay pot on the mountain, said, "If it were other exiled warriors, that evil fire with no place to make noise would have been responded to by Zhao Hou'er."
"You can't see people's hearts clearly in just one day. Maybe you're still young and new here, so it's normal to have some reservations. I'm afraid it's a deliberate attempt to hide your nature."
"At that time, Master Jiang Qingyan asked him to take the fifth position on the mountain. Why do you regret it now?"
"I won't hide something from you. When I traveled to Qishan County, I was very strapped for money. I couldn't bear the alcohol bug in my belly, so I pretended to be fat and entered a restaurant. In the end, I couldn't even pay for two dishes of side dishes with the coins in my pocket.
When I can't get out, I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles. I want to cover my face and rush out.
Let's go. In such a remote place, no one can run faster than me. Who would have thought that we would see our young Fifth Master and his master in the corner again, and we would not be able to see them for a while.
I didn't know how to do it, but I didn't have the courage to run away, so I had to wait and wash the dishes for the shopkeeper."
Wu Erlang, who listened to Jiang Beipo's eloquent account of his embarrassment that year, couldn't swallow a mouthful of earth-burning food, and was completely ruined by Jiang Beipo's faint words.
"When Master Jiang was traveling in the world, he was still a boss who could wash dishes in stores?" Wu Erlang, who raised his thick eyebrows with a smile, couldn't help but laugh, "What does this have to do with us, the fifth master?"
"At that time, I was feeling hungry and had no place to vent my anger. It happened that someone in the restaurant had enough to eat and had nothing to do to make trouble. At that time, there was quite a bit of embarrassment."
Jiang Beipo blushed a little when he recalled the cloth shoes that burst open and exposed the toes. Fortunately, there was not much light on the roof, so Wu Erlang would not laugh at him.
"Our master, the fifth master, is also a good-natured person. He probably saw my predicament at that time, so he invited me to have a drink with him." Jiang Beipo said with emotion, "To be honest, this master is really rich. Master
The two apprentices ordered the dishes at the table, which made me drool at the time, and they talked speculatively. They were thinking of inviting me back one day, but Jiangzhou and Jianghu have undergone such a big change..."
It's a pity that I never had the chance to repay the kindness I received over that drink in person. Only Wei Changpan, the direct descendant of the Zhang family in Qishan County, can make up for it a little bit.
....
"Master Jiang still hasn't answered our previous question. Is there really something wrong with us, the fifth leader of Xiaoyaoshan?"
"I was very happy when I saw this old acquaintance disciple, but now I sit down and think about it carefully, there are a lot of strange things. Calculated by age, this Wei Xiaoxia is only about the age of the crown. How can he be compared with Zhao Hou'er at the foot of the mountain?
The answers are fluent? And his skills don't look like those of a serious family, but rather they seem to have been honed through life and death battles..."
"Don't doubt the people you trust, don't trust the people you employ. This is what you said in the past, Master Jiang. Have you forgotten it now?"
"The truth is the truth, but actually doing it is another story." Jiang Beipo turned sideways and looked into Wu Erlang's eyes with a solemn expression:
"I also ask the king to test this son again before the third and fourth masters return to the mountain. If it can be proved that Jiang's suspicion is wrong, then I can apologize to him another day. But if he is right..."
"Master Yi is that the spies who were well hidden by the government were not discovered until you made a plan." Wu Erlang agreed, and then casually mentioned, "If this son is lucky enough to be born there,
There is nothing wrong with sitting on the throne and not causing any trouble, so what should we do with it?"
"Xiaoyao Mountain has long needed such a "clean" fifth master with some means, but there has been no suitable candidate before, so we put it aside. Since this Wei Xiaoxia came to the mountain sincerely, then we have no reason to owe him anything.
.”
"Neither the third master nor the fourth master are candidates who can take charge. Once something goes wrong between you and me, the mountain will fall apart."
"Master Jiang, what you say sounds like you are asking for help... Bah, don't say such depressing words. Master Jiang is a man who wants to achieve great things. How can he die just because he wants to?"
The candles in the side hall were extinguished, and it was getting late. I think it was time for Wei Xiaoxia, who had just come to the mountain, to go to bed.
Without saying anything, the two heads took turns taking the wine pot and filling their stomachs with a mouthful of pottery, and immediately they both recalled the time when they first met.
Just now, Wu Erlang had Wu Dalang's ashes burned outside the city of Heqing County. The government that was aware of his whereabouts had also dismissed most of its officers due to the famine and was short of manpower. In addition, they were quite afraid of Wu Erlang's combat power and did not take any action. Even He Qing
No one in the county government was sent to pursue the murderer. Only the Sun family in Heqing County was humiliated by Wu Erlang on the wedding day. However, after several groups of people returned without success and even suffered heavy casualties, they had no choice but to go alone.
Swallow this bitter pill.
"Brother, if your soul is still there, tell me in your dream that the scenery from the sky is not bad? If the old blind fortune teller tells a lie, then my brother will cut off his head.
Pay homage to my brother."
The gray powder in the small sandalwood box and the ashes mixed with a little dregs were thrown down from the top of the very high mountain. My brother's body was burned over and over again, but there were still some bones that could not be burned. Maybe this was his brother's life in this life.
Because of his obsession, he has not enjoyed many blessings but suffered a lot of hardships in his life.
Brother, how is the scenery in the sky?
no respond.
Then he went down the mountain and waited for someone to kill him.
The officials were unwilling to kill him, and the people of the Li family in Heqing County did not dare to kill him.
He didn't want to commit suicide. This seemed to him the most cowardly thing in the world, but he didn't know what the meaning of living in this world would be without his brother.
There was an ancient temple deep in the mountains of Haqing County. There was an eminent monk who was good at giving guidance to people, so he went to find the ancient temple and became a monk, but he couldn't find the answer. He was so anxious that he even injured the monk in the ancient temple.
A few young novices can hurt more than one person, and this ancient temple can no longer accommodate them.
When he left the ancient temple, only the old monk came to see him off.
The old monk said that the first person he saw after going out would tell him the answer.
The ancient temple was in the mountains, and he thought that the first person he saw must be a monk, but until he turned out of the mountain gate, he still didn't see anyone.
Wu Erlang, who had not eaten for several days, smelled a faint fragrance. He greedily smelled the fragrance, and by chance, he walked to a noodle stall at the foot of the mountain.
It was a noodle stall with only one low table and four small stools. There was a man in straw sandals and cloth wearing a sword. He looked like he was very hungry. When he was about to pick up his chopsticks for the bowl of clear soup noodles in front of him, he saw someone nearby.
A burly man with a face like a vegetable stared straight at the bowl of noodles in front of him, which tasted ordinary even without tasting it. After hesitating for a long time, the man went to the noodle stall to get an empty bowl, and picked up seven pieces of the clear water in the bowl.
I put eight chopsticks in, and after thinking about it, I poured half of the noodle soup into the bowl.
Wu Erlang couldn't wait to thank the man, so he drank the bowl of clear water like a storm, and then stared at the bowl of water in front of the man.
The man with a look of pain on his face finally pushed the noodle bowl to him and turned back to the small stove to boil the clear water in the sea bowl.
Finally, the sea bowls on the low table were piled as high as a hill. The man, who initially showed a look of pain but was now completely numb, sat next to Takejiro, who no longer wanted to die, and talked to him about how many copper coins these bowls of noodles cost.
Even if he is a monk in the mountains, he should not be reincarnated like a starving ghost with no money...
