Shou Lao smiled and took out a gold-colored turtle's back from his sleeve. This turtle's back is a thing of gold and iron, and it is very famous in the rivers and lakes. It is Elder Shou's weapon of fame, and at the same time it is also the thing for him to use his stunts to become famous. It is said that in addition to martial arts, what he is best at is the hexagram of the king of heaven. There is nothing wrong with the measurement. In the Wudang area, he was also a famous hexagram master.
"Small gadgets, nothing to be talked about, just a game."
The emperor believed in the fortune-telling ability of the Wudang lineage, so he appointed a national teacher from Wudang. Seeing that Shou Lao wanted to calculate a fortune for me, he quickly pushed me over.
Shou Lao Yao opened a chair and sat down, and motioned for me to sit down too. Shou Lao took out the three-wen copper plate, placed it in the back of the golden tortoise, and shook it properly. Then throw it out, put it back in again, and repeat the process six times back and forth.
I really didn't understand it, so I asked, "Dare to ask the elders, what does this hexagram mean?"
Shou Lao smiled and said, "Master Mingbao is in front of you, this old man is polite."
"… "
It turns out that you are using this trick to fool them! ! You already recognized me!
I would say that no one is called Zhong Hualiu! It also opened 18 restaurants on the banks of the Yangtze River! Sure enough, your old man is tricking me!
I also smiled, and my lips moved slightly and said, "Shou Lao still recognizes the boy after all."
"The castle owner hasn't changed much. Although his appearance has changed a bit, his hair color is also different. But as soon as he opens his mouth, the old man knows who he is."
I can't really say friendship with this Elder Shou, but I've been to Wudang Mountain quite a few times, and we've met a few times in the past. It's not surprising that Shou Lao remembered my appearance.
It's just that he was willing to keep it a secret for me. Today, it can be said that this love was born to someone else.
"The kid is rude, it's secret now, so I have to. Don't blame me if I live long."
Shou Lao smiled and said: "Oh, the dignified Yeluo Fort Lord, a boy in front of the old man, if this spreads out, the old man will be glorious for three generations."
"Shou Lao don't want to kill the boy." I slowed down the speed of pouring the wine, and smiled bitterly: "The boy is arrogant. My doghouse is a mess, and there are many jokes for the martial arts colleagues. Calling the owner of the fort for the sake of face, it's really nothing. It's just a pot of hodgepodge."
Shou Lao said: "What did the Lord of Mingbao say, you Yeluobao subdued the gangsters and gangsters who were wandering in the south of the Yangtze River. These people have their own abilities and forces, and if they spread out, They each gathered their followers. With the practice of the White King Qiguan who could not rub the sand in his eyes, a bloodbath was necessary. Even if the evil sect could be driven out of Jiangnan, the killing industry might not be less than the evil sect created.
It is really a great thing that Mingjun can let go of his obsession with righteousness and evil, and accommodate them in an exceptional manner. The old man visited Hangzhou when you were away. Although Ye Luobao was a little bit rambunctious, the restrictions were extremely tight, and he never did anything wrong. It was a blessing to Jiangnan to have someone like the Lord of Mingbao. "
I was moved to hear it. The outside world's views on Yeluobao have always been indistinguishable from good and evil. Although the White King Seven Crowns did not count Yeluobao as an evil sect because of Daluo Mountain, but because of the nature of Yeluobao, they also kept a distance from Yeluobao. Among the upright martial arts, Shou Lao is one of the very few people who are willing to have a positive attitude towards the existence of Ye Luobao.
"Shou Lao praised me. Uh, but..." I remembered one thing and said doubtfully: "Since Shou Lao has seen who I am, why did he just give me a father who opened a brothel in a country..."
"Oh? That one. Hahahaha. Innocent, innocuous."
Shou Lao still smiled, hehe said: "It's like this, Mingbao master can still remember that when the teacher entered Wudang at night, while the old husband and the two junior brothers were not looking, he used his empty hands and took away the magic art of the sect town. …”
I wipe, is it time to settle accounts? !
And it turns out that my master stole it from the three elders back then? ! The Lord of Bitterness is here! Looking at Shou Lao's expression, Master, did you beat up someone back then? "And then, this secret book has not been returned yet."
Haven't paid yet? !
It seems so! After Master gave it to me, I didn't want to go back. After I finished practicing, I seem to have placed it... I seem to have placed it under the mahjong table in the secluded bamboo hut. The cheats are made of special materials, so hard! The table foot is thief stable!
But I won't say this, I'm afraid that even if Shou Lao has such a good temper, he will have to work hard with me.
"Hehehe."
Shou Lao smiled all over his face: "It's okay to take it away, it's okay to take it for a look, but it's been over ten or twenty years, and I haven't returned it yet. It's not an old man to say, Lord Mingbao, what about this face, let's Gotta have some, you say?"
Shou Lao looked like he was discussing with me with a smile, but behind him was a belly of resentment.
So you framed me like that just now? ! So you know that I'm pretending to be garlic, but you still cheat me, bastard!
"Yes, yes, this face is necessary, I will turn back and scold him. This secret book will be returned to Wudang Mountain intact in the near future, definitely."
I nodded and bowed, pouring wine and rubbing my shoulders. While scolding the master for his misconduct, he also promised to return the cheats in the near future. Shou Lao's smile began to take on a little warmth.
The emperor looked confused from behind: "This set is almost like this? Even the back is beaten."
I exchanged a few words with Shou Lao, greeted the body of the head of Wudang, and said that I will visit Wudang when I have time.
Shou Lao was deeply satisfied and said loudly: "Master Zhong, since it was a misunderstanding, the old man will no longer pursue it. See you in Huzhou!" Even though Shou Lao is old, he is fast and does not let the young man. not from the window but from the roof. Indescribably chic and calm.
The emperor looked at his longevity, and sighed with a thumbs-up: "Is this the Wudang's Ti Yunzong? It really is very light."
After he finished speaking, Shou Lao suddenly fell from the sky again.
The emperor hurried up and said, "What's the matter? Your old man's waist is flashing?"
Shou Lao ignored the emperor, but looked at me, who had nothing to do with him, and said with a smile: "Master Zhong, can you pay back the three copper coins that the old man just played with..."
Shrimp? Shrimp? I whistled and looked at the dark sky, wow, couldn't see anything.
Everyone's contemptuous eyes turned me into a hedgehog like arrows...
Chapter 38 Friends in the Jianghu, give face
All the enemies were dispersed, and the room was finally empty.
The rain continued unabated, and icy raindrops kept pounding in from the hole in the roof. The ground was slippery, which made it even more obvious that the tables and chairs in the room were overturned, and there was a broken beam on the ground.
Ye Luo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, it scared me to death. I thought I would fight to the death on the first day I went out. These people are not easy to mess with. Thanks to you, young master."
Dugu also said: "This time, it's really thanks to Brother Ming who has extensive knowledge and knowledge of the world. Otherwise, given the origins, identities, and personalities of these people, since they have started, they will not stop casually. Our actions are urgent. , I couldn't stay longer, but luckily there was no fight."
The emperor happily said: "Today Mingjun has merit, although it is shameful to steal three cents of money... But deeds are not worth the merit, you don't have to run back and forth in the future, you, and Long Zaitian, he is a servant."
The emperor ignored Long Zaitian's bitter wailing, and smiled at me: "You can be your son Zhong at ease. Mingjun, you are familiar with all corners of the world. It just so happened that our bodyguards also lacked a customer, and a young master led the way. It won't be a loss. Uh, but Mingjun, I'm still a little strange. You said that you guessed Ling Gongzi's identity just now, and I already feel inexplicable, so how did you guess Kuang Gongzi's surname? "
I cupped my fists and cupped my hands and said, "Thank you, Teacher Li, for your praise! Actually, it's nothing. When I was in Daluo Mountain, I learned some fortune-telling spells from Master Tai. I just got lucky, hahahahaha."
Su Xiao said excitedly: "Look! I'll just say it! It was a fight just now! You still don't believe me."
Tang Ye stared at me for a long time, and finally said quietly, "Feudal superstition."
Hey Hey hey! Don't come here to dismantle me seriously! At least let me get through the level in front of the emperor, but Tie Hanyi has not spoken, looking at the traces of the fight between the people just now, he pondered for a moment, and murmured: "Heir of the Lushan Sword Temple, the Red Scarf Sword, Wutong Jin Yuxuan, Wudang The elders, and a swordsman scholar with extraordinary martial arts, these strange people are usually difficult to meet, but at this time they all have to go to Huzhou. There are so many heroes and heroes who I saw tonight, why does Huzhou recruit martial arts so much People pay attention?"
The emperor nodded and said: "What Lao Tie said is that this is an eventful season. Not to mention the other characters, it is the five people I saw just now, which is already a rare event in the arena. In all fairness, there are the elders of Wudang and the daughter of Wutong Jin Yuxuan. Xia is here, if we really start, we won't win more than 60%."
The emperor's speculation is justified. Although the other party is strong in martial arts, we are numerous and powerful. And when it comes to real masters, our side is not inferior to them.
The emperor continued: "What makes people worry is their purpose. Now it's New Year's Eve, and it will be New Year's Eve in two days, but they chose to go to Huzhou on such a rainy night. It shows that something big must happen in Huzhou before we can Gather these many capable people together."
I reminded: "Mr. Li, if you want to talk about martial arts people, Lao Tie just missed a heavyweight."
"Is there a leak? Except for these five people just now, it's just a big gun door."
"Have you forgotten our goal?" I said with a chill in my eyes: "Isn't the ghostly thief Aples also in Huzhou now?"
The emperor was stunned when he heard the words, and said solemnly: "Mingjun is right. Huzhou is the site of Luojian Villa. The ghostly thief is a phoenix without treasure, how can he venture to such a dangerous place out of thin air, the most likely It is inferred that it is their goal, which itself is - Luojian Villa! So, these people's goals should be the same, but I don't know what they are going for."
