Chapter 2 Chapter One

I tiptoed through the crowded lobby of the teahouse, and I didn’t forget to glance at the stage. Mr. Chen was still talking about his thousand and one "Legend of the Heroes of Dongzhou", which had been more than ten years old and could not be changed. Freshly ordered. While shaking my head, I continued to bend forward along the flowerbed under the verandah, when a colander suddenly protruded from the window and hit me on the head impartially, accompanied by a roar that was loud enough to scare people to death: "Little Creek!" "Hush—" I hurriedly gestured to the person in the window, but my right ear hurt, and I was pinched tightly.

"Well, you little bastard, you ran out to play all night and didn't come back! Hush, what are you shhh? My mother has seen you since the first time you stepped into the teahouse!" "Oh, Sanniang, it hurts so much, please be gentle, okay?" I turned my head tremblingly, and it was indeed Sanniang's pretty face, still in her mid-mature, that still remained in my eyes. "Easy?" Sanniang exerted force on her hands, and I let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered. Two men passed by with tea and pastries, and I hurriedly called out, "Xiaoshan, Xiaoshui, come and save me..."

The two men disappeared around the corner without hearing anything, without even looking this way.Well, you are a small mountain and small water, you are not good enough buddies, you don’t show loyalty, you leave me here alone and get punished by Sanniang... Just when she thought about it, her ears hurt again, and Sanniang said sharply, "Tell me, where did you die last night? What trouble did you cause?" "I'm wronged, Sanniang, don't you always interrogate me like Bao Gong interrogates a prisoner, how can I be so bad, causing trouble every day?" Sanniang snorted coldly: "I dare not tell others, but as for you, I definitely will!"

"But I really didn't cause any trouble yesterday. Not only did I not, I even saved someone very bravely!" Sanniang sneered: "You, save someone?" "San Niang, don't you believe me? Let me tell you, yesterday I..." I was about to describe in detail the bizarre incident I encountered last night, when Xiao Shan hurried over and shouted, "Miss Boss, it's not good!" ! There are a lot of people coming to the door!" Sanniang finally let go of the hand that was pinching my ear, turned around and said, "Speak clearly, how many people? Who are they?"

Xiao Shan said out of breath: "Yes, yes, those people from the Flying Jiao Gang, there are more than a dozen people here. San Niang, did they come to collect protection money from us?" As soon as I heard it, I shrank my head, turned around and left, who would have thought that my ears would suffer again after walking a few steps, Sanniang said angrily: "It's probably because of you that you caused the trouble, tell me clearly, what did you do last night? " "I, I, I didn't know that they were members of the Flying Jiao Gang. I came back from Granny Ji last night. When I passed by the bamboo forest, I saw more than a dozen people besieging one person. Didn't Mr. Chen often say that he would be brave enough to help? I At once……"

"You're just minding your own business, aren't you?" "Not at all, because before I could make a move, the knife flashed, and all the dozen or so people fell down. I think that person is so capable that he doesn't need my help at all, so he came back..." "Little bastard, I will settle accounts with you later!" Sanniang raised her eyebrows after speaking, flicked her skirt, and hurriedly walked towards the lobby.I thought about it, and quietly followed behind to watch the fun.In fact, the words just now were not true, that person did deal with more than a dozen disciples of the Flying Jiao Gang by himself, but before he drew his sword, I jumped out and said a lot of words.Why bullying the weak in "bright day and night" is not the work of a hero, why my little swordsman, Lengxiang, is so fierce against gangsters... and so on.However, I clearly saw that those dozens of people were already dead, how could the members of the Flying Jiao Gang know that I was involved in this matter and came to seek revenge?

I went to the lobby with a lot of puzzlement, and saw that the originally noisy lobby was silent at the moment, and everyone looked at the dozens of men standing at the door of the teahouse with a ferocious and ferocious face, and they didn't dare to snort. Sanniang squeaked, walked over and greeted with a smile on her face: "It's really a rare customer, Flying Jiao Gang Master Hong actually came to our shop in person, please sit down quickly, please sit down. Xiao Shui, make tea for Gang Master Hong." I leaned out of the screen and took a look at the so-called Gang Leader Hong. He was a tall man in his forties, not handsome enough, and a bit fierce, especially his eyes, which were as cold as sword blades.

Chief Hong raised his long arm, preventing Xiao Shui from serving tea for him, and said coldly, "We're not here to drink tea." Sanniang still smiled sweetly: "If you don't drink tea when you come to the teahouse, what are you doing?" "Where's Lengxiang little swordsman? Tell him to get out!" Sure enough, it was aimed at me, I quickly shrank my head, and prayed secretly: Tathagata Guanyin, Taishang Laojun, Tuota Tianwang, Nezha, Bodhisattvas and gods, you must bless Sanniang, she can hold this group of people , otherwise I will be miserable! Only Sanniang said: "We are called Lengxiang tea house, but there has never been a little swordsman or something. Are you making a mistake?"

A disciple of the Flying Jiao Gang sternly said: "Why not? I heard it with my own ears last night! Hand him over quickly, or we will demolish your teahouse!" Sanniang's complexion changed, and she said in a deep voice: "It's ridiculous, but whoever is called Lengxiang must have something to do with our teahouse? This little brother heard with his own ears that he lived with me and Qin Sanniang Is it a relative?" The disciple was startled, Sanniang didn't let her go, and continued: "Although our Lengxiang teahouse is a small and inconspicuous shop, we open our doors to do business in a well-regulated way, and we never interfere with your gang. If Gang wants to demolish the store for someone who has never heard of it, isn’t he afraid of ruining the morality of the world? If it gets to the ears of the city lord, I will ask Qu to ask him to judge.”

Sanniang moved out of the city lord, and the face of the gang leader Hong really looked much better, and he said slowly: "It's not that I deliberately made things difficult, but that thirteen disciples of our gang died overnight, and only Ah Ruo escaped back. I will always die Disciples who have died, please seek justice." As soon as the words were finished, I suddenly jumped towards the screen, I was shocked, I couldn't dodge, he caught me right away, and dragged me out. "Oh, help, San Niang save me!" The disciples of the Flying Jiao Gang immediately said: "The master, that's him!"

I quickly covered my face: "It's not me!" He pulled my hand down and approached me: "You can't be blamed, the little swordsman Lengxiang is you!" When I saw this, I decided to be cruel, put my hips on my hips and said, "So what if it's me? Which eye of yours saw me kill your brothers? You yourself are useless. A dozen of them can't beat one of them. Killed, what does it matter to me?" Sanniang sternly interrupted me and said, "Shut up, Xiaoxi!" I shut my mouth resentfully.Sanniang said seriously: "Master Hong, there may be a misunderstanding here. Xiaoxi is a servant in our teahouse, and he is not a swordsman or not. With his three-legged cat skills, he can even kill chickens, let alone kill chickens." Say murder." Leader Hong said coldly: "I know he doesn't have such ability, as long as he is willing to tell Xiao Wangchu's whereabouts, we will leave immediately." "What is Xiao Wangchu? I don't know him!" "You helped him yesterday, how could you not know him?" I froze for a moment: "You mean the boy in black? He left after the fight, didn't say anything to me, didn't even thank me." Leader Hong sneered and said, "You think I will believe such words?" "What kind of talk is that, I only have this kind of talk, if you don't believe me, I can't help it." I flattened my mouth and whispered, "My subordinates are not capable, they are killed by others, if they have the ability to go Chase, what prestige do you come to me for?" Snapped!The other party slapped me so that I flew straight out and hit the wall. When I fell, I knocked over the kettle on the stove. The hot water splashed, and the guests scattered screaming.For a while, the lobby was in chaos. Sanniang quickly came over to help me and said, "Xiaoxi, how are you doing?" I opened my mouth and wanted to speak, but my throat was sweet, and I spit out a big mouthful of blood.I have grown up so much since I was a child. Although I kept getting into trouble, but because of Sanniang's protection, I really didn't suffer any losses. This is the first time I was beaten so badly. I was shocked and scared at the moment. I don't know what he will do next. What will happen to me. Sanniang took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood for me, and when she turned her head, her face was as cold as ice: "Governor Hong is also a respected person in the world, but he treats a junior like this, not to mention that he really doesn't know what kind of person who forgets the beginning Whereabouts, even if he knows, how can the people in Lengxiang Tea House allow you to bully me like this?" Leader Hong stared at her for a few moments, and instead of being angry, he smiled and said, "Okay, everyone said that Lengxiang Tea House is a place that cannot be offended in Yuancheng, because there is a mysterious figure behind it. I want to see it today. What kind of mysterious person is he, so amazing." With a wave of his hand, the group of disciples immediately smashed the table and kicked the chairs, scaring the guests to run away. Sanniang stretched out her hand, and Xiaoshui immediately brought a feather duster. Leader Hong saw that this was the weapon she was using, and was taken aback for a moment. In just that moment, Sanniang took the feather duster and hit him across the head and face. I was so happy that I screamed: Hong, you also have the feeling of being hit by Sanniang's feather duster today. I have tasted it for more than ten years. Now it's you who has a new taste! Although Sanniang never said that she was a member of the Jianghu, and the Jianghu people never regarded her as a colleague, but there were several occasions when there were accidents in the teahouse, and when her feather duster was used, none of the so-called masters and heroes were there. Exceptionally, he was beaten up and screamed by her.Therefore, I have always been very sure that Sanniang is hiding her secrets. It should be the same this time. Unexpectedly, I was wrong. Sanniang kept waving her hands, but she didn't hit her. Not only that, but in the end, the feather duster hit the wall and broke in two. I saw Sanniang's face suddenly became very shocked and stunned, and said in shock: "You are not Hong Batian! Hong Batian can't have such martial arts!" Leader Hong raised the corners of his lips, noncommittal. Sanniang stared at the broken feather duster, her expression becoming more and more frightened: "Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Hong Batian?" The other party didn't say anything, but the green robe floated over in a flash, grabbed my neck, and picked me up like a chicken.I struggled desperately, only to feel suffocated for a while, and the hand pinching my neck was as hot as a red-hot iron hoop.Help!San Niang save me!help me! I vaguely saw Sanniang rushing forward, but Hong Batian slapped her on the abdomen, and sent her flying. "It's still the same sentence, if you don't tell Xiao Wangchu's whereabouts, I will let you pay for my dead brothers!" His sharp eyes stared at me without the slightest warmth.I opened my mouth, and I wanted to speak right now, but I couldn't. Just when I thought I was going to die, Hong Batian let go of my hand suddenly, and I fell to the ground with a slap, and a fan fell to the ground at the same time. An ebony folding fan with the words "Pull the wine under the eastern fence" written on the fan with a white background.The font is handsome and powerful, I recognized it, this is Mr. Chen's fan. A pair of gray cotton shoes stood in front of me, someone reached out to help me up and asked, "What do you think?" I raised my head and bumped into a pair of brown eyes, the vicissitudes between the brows were like water, and the corners of the lips were as moist as the wind. "Sir..." I burst into tears. Hong Batian held his right hand, blood oozed from his wrist, and he didn't stop bleeding, he just stared at the visitor without blinking and said, "Who are you?" "Chen Fei." The visitor smiled slightly, picked up the folding fan from the ground, and opened it with a snap, "The storyteller of Lengxiang teahouse." "Mr. Storyteller?" Hong Batian walked around him a few steps, sized him up from the beginning to the end, and sneered, "Can a storyteller have such internal strength? Just use a fan to blow my body away." hand?" Chen Fei said indifferently: "That's because you are showing mercy." Hong Batian stared at him again, and said: "Okay! You said you are a storyteller, so let's listen to a paragraph of a book." With a wave of his hand, all the subordinates immediately stopped their destructive actions. Chen Fei was silent for a moment, and said: "The visitor is a guest, as long as you give me money, I will tell you." Xiao Shan Xiao Shui quickly rearranged the table and chairs that had been kicked over, and Fei Jiao's disciples brought chairs for Hong Batian to sit down.After everything was restored to the original state, Chen Fei stepped onto the stage and slapped the gavel: "Last time, it was said that Ji Guiyun, the hero of Dongzhou, took care of the four evil spirits of Yinshan Mountain in Wuzilin..." Hong Batian suddenly shouted: "Stop!" He got up and walked towards Chen Fei in a very slow motion, and the whole lobby suddenly became extremely quiet, so quiet that only the sound of his footsteps could be heard, one after another, as if they were caught in people's hearts. Chen Fei still smiled, showing the kindness on his lips and the tiredness between his brows. Hong Batian walked up to him, stopped, and put his hands into his arms——I almost stopped breathing.He wouldn't want to do it again, which would be bad for the husband, right? However, Hong Batian just took out an ingot of gold, put it on the desk, and said slowly: "The clouds are flying like autumn. I want to listen to the affairs by Jingxi Lake." Chen Fei's smile disappeared, replaced by a kind of sadness.I have never seen that kind of sadness on his face in all these years. What does Hong Batian mean?Why did your husband become so weird when he heard that?Where is Jingxi Lake?How did I never know? During my series of questions, Sanniang pushed Xiaoshui's hand away, rushed over and shouted: "What about mirroring the west and mirroring the east? We don't have this book to talk about in Lengxiang teahouse. I want to listen to it elsewhere..." Hong Batian was unmoved, and stared at Chen Fei with icy eyes. Chen Fei finally smiled and said, "I...can't tell about this book." "No, or not?" Hong Batian raised his voice, "It's okay, if you don't say it, I'll say it for you." He turned around and glanced at everyone. When he looked at me, I couldn't help shivering. The feeling was extremely uncomfortable, as if I had a premonition. "It is said that there is a lake where the water and the sky meet in the Southern Darkness. The water in the lake is never static. Ordinary people will become ice sculptures when they touch the water there." Chen Feidao: "How can there be such a lake in the world?" Hong Batian ignored him, and continued: "For thousands of years, there is only one exception. That person washes his hands with lake water, and the blood on his hands fades away, and the cleanliness is almost transparent, so he became the owner of the lake. This The person is the former No. 1 martial artist——Jian Lingxi." A certain heartstring was plucked suddenly, and a thunderbolt flashed in my heart.Jane - Listen - Stream - It's clearly the first time I've heard of this name, so why do I find it so familiar? "Jian Lingxi has never had any rivals in the rivers and lakes in his life. Since he discovered this lake, he has lived in seclusion by the lake. That autumn, a person came by the lake." Hong Batian glanced at everyone again when he said this, The eyes stopped for a while as they passed over my face, but quickly retracted, "If Jian Lingxi is the first miracle of Jingxi Lake, that person is the second. She did not become a miracle after drinking the lake water. The ice sculpture, however, was not spared and became a ghost." Chen Fei said in a deep voice, "Enough." Hong Batian acted as if he had never heard of it, and said directly: "And that person is Princess Yixi from the Eight Desolation Liuhe Nine Temples Demon Palace." One night!My heart trembled again.Why is this name so familiar?It seems to have been called for hundreds of years. Hong Batian's eyes became blurred, and his sarcasm became stronger: "Yixi thought it was Jian Lingxi who harmed her, so she lingered by the lake and refused to leave. Since she came, the lake has undergone a series of weird events. Change——First it snowed, and the lake froze into ice for seven days and seven nights, but then the peach blossoms by the lake were in full bloom, resplendent and splendid. A stunning beauty walked across the frozen lake step by step on the petals of the peach blossoms with bare feet. Walking to Jian Lingxi's residence, this beauty leaned against the door and smiled, her smile was more amazing than the moonlight..." "Enough!" This time it was Sanniang's turn to stop, her eyes widened, and she hissed, "Who are you? Who are you? Who sent you here? How did you find it here? ? What do you want to do?" Hong Batian was silent, and after a while, he reached out and slowly peeled off a human skin mask from his face.The face behind the mask, as cold as ice and as clear as jade, is unexpectedly beautiful. That beauty blurs gender, and constitutes the only romantic thing I have ever seen in my life—— However, it wasn't the first time I met him. Last night, I saw him in black in a deep alley, he fell with a knife, and thirteen Flying Jiao Gang disciples fell instantly. He is "he", the boy in black from last night. The "Xiao Wangchu" that "Hong Batian" was looking for.
