Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Changes in Jianchang
Far away in a mansion on the outskirts of Fengtian in the northeast, Japanese soldiers had a post every three steps and a sentry post every five steps, all armed with live ammunition.Judging by the behavior and temperament of these Japanese soldiers, they are all well-trained people, the best of the best.
In addition to the Japanese soldiers in the mansion, there are countless people dressed as Japanese samurai with their hands folded on their chests, wearing kimonos and samurai swords hanging on their waists.
Suddenly there was a loud yell, and three drums beating, all the Japanese warriors gave a uniform hay, changed into a very respectful expression, lowered their hands, and bowed ninety degrees.
Tumbled, the clogs made a loud noise, several men in kimonos and clogs walked into the courtyard steadily, the first one, who was around forty years old, was calm and pretentious, with distinct facial features and half-closed eyes Close it, open it a little bit, and you can feel the murderous aura gushing out.This person is wearing a sable-tailed kimono, a plain blue kimono, with a snow-white lining, and a black and yellow belt. On his chest, there are three pieces of azure blue jade.
All the warriors chanted in unison again, welcoming this person in.
The man walked steadily forward without even raising his eyelids, and only when he disappeared in the hall did all the warriors dare to stand up straight.
In the lobby of the middle courtyard, a group of people were waiting anxiously. One of the soldiers was Major General Yi Tian whom Huo Xiaoxie had met at Zhang Siye's residence. At this time, his military rank was already the rank of lieutenant general.There was also a scholar in a suit and leather shoes, wearing glasses, who was also Professor Ningshen whom Huo Xiaoxie had met.The two men were well-dressed and well-groomed, and it was obvious that they were waiting for someone of great importance.
Sitting at the side of the hall, the thin and anxious man was none other than Pu Yi, the last emperor. Beside him stood two nervous bodyguards with their lips tightly pressed together. From their appearance, one could tell that they were martial arts practitioners. master.
Puyi swallowed, pushed his glasses, took two long breaths, and asked in a low voice: "Professor Ningshen, how long do we have to wait? I feel very uncomfortable here."
Professor Ningshen said: "His Royal Highness, don't be impatient, Lord Ito will not miss the appointment. This adult is a rare person. Even His Majesty the Emperor respects him very much. When you see him later, please speak politely." .”
Puyi said: "Why didn't I see him when I was in Japan?"
Professor Ningshen said: "Master Ito is the leader of all Japanese ninjas. He never shows up in public except for important things ordered by His Majesty the Emperor. Your Highness Puyi, what you are going to say later is really important, so Master Ito will I'll come and ask you myself."
Puyi had no choice but to shut up and continue to wait. They waited for a while, only to hear the sound of the recitation, and the sound of clogs coming in.
Yi Tianzhong immediately went up to meet him, bowed at ninety degrees, and said loudly in Japanese: "Master Ito, you have worked hard."
"Hmm." The person came with a low snort and walked forward steadily.
Professor Ning Shen also rushed over and bowed ninety degrees.
Puyi stood up stupidly, facing this person, what should be done.Although Puyi was already a puppet in captivity by the Japanese at this time, the royal prestige of the Qing Dynasty still refused to be lost, and he forcibly calmed down so as not to lose his composure.But even though he tried to keep his face, and looked at Ito, he still trembled from the heart, and trembled slightly.
This man named Ito, led by Professor Ningshen and Lieutenant General Yitian, walked towards Puyi.
Professor Ning Shen was about to introduce, but Ito had already taken a step forward, and said to Pu Yi in clear Chinese: "Your Highness Pu Yi, I am Yi Run Guangyi. It is a great honor to meet you."
Puyi broke out in a cold sweat, and said: "Master Ito, I am Puyi, this is the first time we meet, please take care of me." As Puyi said, he reached out his hand to shake hands with Yirun Guangyi, but Ito didn't move at all, and turned sideways to avoid it. Said: "Your Highness Puyi, you have been waiting for a long time, please sit down."
Puyi didn't dare to get angry, and was a little dazed, while the bodyguard standing behind him took into account the dignity of the royal family, bravely jumped out a step, and shouted: "Bold, you are too rude! This is the foot of the Qing emperor!"
As soon as the bodyguard finished speaking, a black light flashed in front of his eyes, his throat suddenly itched, and he couldn't speak.
Yi Run Guangyi flicked his hand, and it seemed that a long knife had been put into the scabbard. Since it was covered by the sable-tailed cloak, it could not be seen what it was.
Yi Run Guangyi acted as if nothing happened at all, just stopped for a step, and continued to move forward.And the two accompanying warriors behind him have turned around and walked towards the Puyi bodyguard who was scolding just now.
The bodyguard groaned, blood gushed out of his mouth, he couldn't help touching his neck, the touching was terrible, his eyes turned white immediately, and he lay back.
The two Japanese samurai moved faster. A jet-black pocket swished to cover the bodyguard's head, and one of them supported the bodyguard's body. There was a loud puffing sound in the pocket. sound.
With a shout, the two samurai jumped down from the dark place on the roof of the hall, and three men in black clothed their bodies and masked their faces. They were dressed like authentic Japanese ninjas. Get up and run away in the blink of an eye.
There was only a faint smell of blood at the scene, but not even a drop of blood was seen.
Puyi's hand hadn't retracted yet, but his entire arm was already trembling violently.
Yi Run Guangyi walked to the chair opposite Puyi and sat down, and said in a deep voice, "His Highness Puyi, please sit down."
Puyi couldn't speak, just like a wooden stake, she sat on the chair in a muffled voice, out of her mind.It's really hard to be a subjugated slave.
And the remaining bodyguard next to Puyi, seeing his compatriots being killed like this, was frightened by this, and his glasses turned red. They were also not afraid of death. Pulling out a dagger, he headed towards Yi Run Guangyi.
Yi Run Guangyi didn't move at all. The bodyguard had just taken two steps when suddenly a rope came down and wrapped him around his neck. With a whoosh, it disappeared into the shadows of the roof.
Yi Run Guangyi seemed to be missing, but Lieutenant General Yitian and Professor Ningshen next to him were ashen-faced, standing behind Ito with their heads bowed, not daring to say a word.
Ito picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said in Chinese: "Good tea! It's a pity that the water quality is a bit poor. If it is brewed with the Wannian snow water from Changbai Mountain, it will be perfect."
Ito took another sip, put down the teacup, raised his head and said to Puyi, "Your Highness Puyi, where is the Supreme Saint King Ding of the Five Elements, you can tell me now."
Puyi murmured: "Yanshan, at the foot of the Yanshan Mountains."
Ito asked, "Where is Yanshan?"
Puyi said: "Daqingshan."
"Well, where exactly is Daqingshan?"
"I, I really don't know. I have never been to the Five Elements Underground Palace. Only the Tujia people and the Five Elements family know the entrance to the Underground Palace! His Majesty the Emperor promised me that as long as I tell the specific place, Manchuria will be established! I am not Fool, I am not afraid of death, I have already said that I am willing to dedicate the Holy King Cauldron to His Majesty the Emperor! I have recognized His Majesty the Emperor as my father!" Pu Yi suddenly became excited, almost incoherent.
"Why don't you let the Tujia people take it out?"
"No, it's impossible. The Tujia people won't listen to me. They just guard the tripod and don't allow people to enter the Five Elements Palace. I have already said, I have already said, you have to get the tripod yourself. I can't help it. I don’t want to, I really don’t want to, but I said it, I’ve already said it, Manchukuo, His Majesty the Emperor agreed! Manchukuo!” Puyi was talking nonsense, and suddenly howled.
Yi Run Guangyi stood up slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Daqingshan." He walked out a few steps, never looked at Puyi again, and said, "His Highness Puyi, what His Majesty the Emperor promised you will definitely be done. But If I don't get the cauldron, I won't be able to fulfill your wish. Goodbye!"
Yi Run Guangyi walked away steadily, and Lieutenant General Yitian and Professor Ningshen rushed to see him off.
Puyi almost passed out from crying alone, and kept saying: "I don't want to tell them, and I don't want to, I can't watch the Qing Dynasty be destroyed in my hands, I can only do this, this is the only way, this This is the last chance, ancestors, please forgive me."
Yi Run Guangyi walked out of the mansion, a Japanese-style sedan chair was waiting for him, and in front of and behind the sedan chair, a large number of cars of various types were waiting.Ito was not in a hurry to get on the sedan chair, but stood still for a while, and suddenly his hand trembled, holding a long black knife in his hand. This knife was black and shiny, but the blade was extremely shiny, waving in the air, almost A black air curtain rolled up.
Ito held up the knife and read aloud: "Daqingshan! Tujia! For His Majesty the Emperor! Split them! Take China! Long live the Emperor!" As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the knife with a crisp sound. The stone lion's head was cut off with a knife.
Yi Run Guangyi buzzed the knife in his hand, and inserted it back into the scabbard.
Professor Ningshen looked startled, and thought to himself: "Wuhao! Seeing Shenwei today, I am willing to die."
A group of warriors let out a loud "Hi", each of them clenched their fists and bowed with gritted teeth, responding to Yi Run Guangyi.Ito's move means that the ninja legions all over Japan will fight hard to win the sacred object of the Chinese feudal dynasty to rule the world-the five elements supreme holy king tripod with a desperate belief.
Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, Tian Wen, Lin Wan and others got off the boat and went on their way.Strange to say, Tian Wen was determined not to go to Mu's Qingyun Inn to rest, but after passing through Anhe Town, Tian Wen acquiesced when Lin Wan said to go to Qingyun Inn.
Lin Wan was not a girl with deep scheming, since Tian Wen acquiesced, she was overjoyed, she figured out the way to go, and led the crowd for dozens of miles, before arriving at a large post station called Shuncheng Inn.A few people didn't go through the main entrance, but went directly to the backyard. Before entering the door, a person dressed as the shopkeeper ran over like crazy, and hurriedly welcomed the group of people into the shop.
This Shuncheng Inn, if Lin Wan was not here, who would know that this place is the semicolon of Qingyun Inn?
After exchanging pleasantries, the shopkeeper took everyone to a firewood room, stepped on a few times, and a huge trap door rose on the ground. Taking the Qingyun Inn that Huo Xiaoxie had seen, the main shop was in the Underground, it's no surprise.
After everyone went down to the ground and settled down, Lin Wan personally cooked and served a table of rare and delicious dishes, which combined the flavors of all corners of the country, and were delicious in color and fragrance. You can know some dishes just by looking at them. Money can eat.
Pan Zi led Qiao Da and Qiao Er, and they ate everything, only to hear the sound of his mouth, and he couldn't even speak.Huo Xiaoxie didn't know why he was in a good mood, he couldn't be better, he couldn't help laughing and scolding Pan Zi for not eating at Duan Wenwen.
Pan Zi stuffed his stomach full, wiped the oil on his mouth, and shouted: "What to eat at my father's place, I just think about how to get out." Pan Zi turned his head to the smiling Lin Wan and said: "Lin Wanlin Wan, how many dishes do you know how to cook? Anyone who marries you will be blessed for the rest of his life!"
Lin Wan replied: "I don't know how many varieties I can. I use materials according to the materials and local conditions. Many dishes are my own creations. You just need to eat them if you like them."
Pan Zi snorted: "I like it! I like it so much! To be honest, with such a big life, I only think that the dishes you cook are delicious. How did you create them yourself?"
Lin Wan smiled and said: "I have tasted and smelled all kinds of ingredients in the world since I was a child. I can taste the taste, know the raw and cooked, spicy, salty and bitter, fresh and fragrant, and mixed changes of the taste. You can cook whatever you want.”
Pan Zi was surprised: "My God, then I know why the Mu family opened Qingyun Inn! The Mu family are all chefs, it would be a pity not to open a restaurant!"
Lin Wan covered her mouth with a smile and said, "You're 10% right. Hehe, in fact, food itself can cure diseases, which is called dietary therapy."
Pan Zi was shocked again: "Eating can also cure diseases, that's a mystery!"
Lin Wan said: "Everything in the world is composed of the five elements. Even a diamond is pure in texture and contains the elements of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and the human body and food. When our human body is healthy, the five elements in the body are balanced, so that we can There is no disease and no disaster. Once the balance is lost, various diseases will be caused. At this time, external forces must be used to make up for the balance of the five elements. The food is rich in the elements of the five elements. As long as it is properly supplemented at the right time, it can be cured. It’s complicated for me to say, but diet therapy is actually a type of Chinese medicine.”
Huo Xiaoxie interrupted: "Lin Wan, there are so many incurable diseases in the world, what's going on?"
Lin Wan said: "The Mu family has studied the mysteries of the human body for thousands of years, and they dare not say they know 100% of it. But we evolved from a tiny egg, and every organ and every inch of skin in our body has grown into what it is now. The reason for the appearance. The so-called diseases are mostly caused by external factors that disturb the five elements of the human body, and they are also caused by demons. Taoist bigu means to temporarily cut off the human body from contact with the outside world, including the mind. In this way, the human body can repair itself. Seek to be light and healthy, and not disturbed by external demons. Everyone is a world, a universe, and there are countless gods in the body. If you can adjust the five elements in your body by yourself, there should be no incurable diseases. The Mu family knows that this should be the case , but found that this kind of situation can only be done by real gods and Buddhas, and where are the gods and Buddhas? Therefore, we worldly people can only suffer. Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. Where does the dust come from?"
Although Lin Wan didn't explain Huo Xiaoxie's problem, Huo Xiaoxie listened carefully to what Lin Wan said, and instead she understood something.
Huo Xiaoxie nodded and said: "I understand, no wonder there are diseases in the world, no wonder the five elements are out of balance, but I have to blame myself."
Pan Zi murmured, "It's really confusing! I can't understand. Let's stop talking about this, it sounds sleepy."
Qiao Da and Qiao Er just licked the two plates, and groaned, "Master Huo, Master Pan, what are you talking about? Sleepy?"
Pan Zi scolded: "You two foodies, two sticks, if you can understand it, you're not sticks! Go lick your plates! Don't waste it!"
The two foodies hurriedly held a soup bowl to drink leftover soup.
Lin Wan smiled and said, "It's good that Qiao Da and Qiao Er are so chaotic."
Qiao Da's eyes widened immediately, and he raised his head and screamed, "There are still wontons to eat? Where are they? I'm so hungry!"
Qiao Er slapped him and scolded: "You big watermelon! Master Lin is talking about chaos!"
Qiao Da felt aggrieved, "Isn't it just wonton?"
Qiao Eryi thought about it, blinked his small eyes and said, "Yes, Chaos? Master Lin, what do you mean?"
Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, and Lin Wan laughed out loud, very happy.Although Tian Wen said he had a dull expression, he also laughed dryly twice.
A few people made a few more jokes, and they were already full and happy.
Qingyun Inn is a quiet place, except for the shopkeeper and the others coming in and out, there is no outsider to disturb them.
Lin Wan also said that everyone can rest assured that this Qingyun Inn is one of the 50 Qingyun stores, that is, one of the 50 highest-ranked stores in the branch, which is several times higher than the Qingyun Inn in Sanbao Town. Even the three snakes of the Shui family may not be able to come to the medicine formation whenever they want.
Huo Xiaoxie doesn't care about these things, as long as she can sleep peacefully, it's good.
The shopkeeper originally arranged a guest room for everyone, but Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi insisted on sleeping together, and Qiao Da and Qiao Er are also used to nesting together, so the four of them only arranged two big rooms, and Heifeng Follow Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi.
Tian asked for a room alone, but he didn't refuse, and closed the door to rest.
Lin Wan is the owner of Qingyun Inn, and she followed the store manager to discuss matters somewhere.
After Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi washed up, they lay comfortably on the same bed. Pan Zi was also tired, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Huo Xiaoxie recalled every bit of Lin Wan, and was full of emotions. For a gentle and kind woman like Lin Wan, what Huo Xiaoxie couldn't tell her liking was because she was worried about the unchaste things she said before. Can't believe it's true.
Huo Xiaoxie looked at the ceiling, sighed softly a few times, gradually fell asleep, and fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long I slept, Huo Xiaoxie faintly felt someone approaching me in her sleep, but Huo Xiaoxie was not awake, nor was she afraid. She just felt that it was a woman, and she couldn't tell who it was. The woman said coldly: "Huo Xiaoxie Xiao Xie, why do you like a woman from the Mu family? Or a witch like Lin Wan?"
Huo Xiaoxie replied in her dream: "Lin Wan is not a witch! It's not that I like her."
The woman said: "You speak for her like this, and you still say you don't like it."
Huo Xiaoxie replied, "It's not the kind of liking you said."
"what is that?"
"I don't know what I like, who are you? Why are you talking to me!"
"You forgot, you forgot who I am so quickly. Huo Xiaoxie, I hate you, I didn't expect you to be such a slutty person."
"You are ever-changing, how do I know who you are!"
"I understand, you never liked me at all! You and me are not your sincerity."
Huo Xiaoxie suddenly felt in his sleep that the person next to his pillow was someone he was familiar with, and suddenly woke up, and shouted: "Shui Yaoer!"
Huo Xiaoxie woke up from his dream all of a sudden, he sat up abruptly, sweating profusely, looked around, how could there be a water monster?
This dream seemed to be real, the words spoken by the two of them were engraved in their hearts every word, and Huo Xiaoxie burst into regret, and called out again: "Water monster!"
There seemed to be someone passing by outside the door, Huo Xiaoxie didn't even think about it, he turned over, jumped to the door, opened the door with a bang, and shouted: "Shui Yaoer!"
There was actually a woman outside the door, she had already gone far, and was about to go downstairs, when she heard Huo Xiaoxie's call, she turned around, flashing a pair of pretty eyes, and said softly with a smile on her face: "Shui Yaoer!" ?She is coming?"
Huo Xiaoxie took a closer look, where was the water monster, it was clearly Lin Wan.
Huo Xiaoxie's whole body was covered in cold sweat, and his whole body was icy cold. Seeing that it was Lin Wan, the words in the dream seemed to echo around his ears.Huo Xiaoxie tremblingly said: "No, no, she didn't come, I made a mistake."
Lin Wan walked towards Huo Xiaoxie, looked into his eyes with concern, and said softly, "Are you dreaming?"
Huo Xiaoxie recalled what he said in his dream, "You are ever-changing, how do I know who you are", and he regretted so much, he couldn't even recognize the water monster, and said such heartless words, what is he? what happened?Is this my real thought?Huo Xiaoxie felt powerless all over his body, lowered his head, and said: "Yes, it should be, it's a dream."
Lin Wan had already walked to Huo Xiaoxie's side, slowly stretched out her small hand, took Huo Xiaoxie's hand, and put her two fingers on her wrist.
Huo Xiaoxie didn't hide for a while, until Lin Wan pulled her hand away, then she was startled, quickly withdrew her hand, and said in shock, "What are you doing!"
Lin Wan didn't care, and said, "I want to see your pulse."
Huo Xiaoxie said: "Man and woman can't kiss each other, thank you for your kindness. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I, I'm going back to sleep."
Lin Wan said: "Looking at you, your face is full of sweat and your eyes are blurred. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep for an hour. What did you dream about? Why are you so scared?"
"I'm not scared. I'm... Lin Wan, why are you here?"
"I just came out from Big Brother Tian Wen and asked him about tomorrow's arrangements. I happened to pass by here, and you came out."
"Oh. Okay, I'm going back..."
"Huo Xiaoxie, wait a minute." Lin Wan stopped Huo Xiaoxie, "If you can't sleep, why don't you accompany me to drink two glasses of sake. If you have a dream, just tell it."
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
Lin Wan smiled softly, and said, "It's not yet midnight, I usually don't go to bed so early."
Huo Xiaoxie hesitated for a moment, but met Lin Wan's eyes. Seeing her caring and gentle expression, she suddenly felt sour, her eyes almost turned red, and said involuntarily: "Okay."
Lin Wan did not take Huo Xiaoxie to her room, but came to the lobby of Qingyun Inn and asked Huo Xiaoxie to sit for a while.
After a while, Lin Wan quickly arranged two bowls and chopsticks, several plates of snacks, and warmed a pot of sake.
Lin Wan filled a glass for Huo Xiaoxie, and said, "Huo Xiaoxie, this wine is very light, but it has the effect of calming the mind, so you won't get drunk, so drink it at ease."
Huo Xiaoxie nodded in agreement, raised his glass and took a sip. Sure enough, as Lin Wan said, the wine was soft in the mouth, fragrant and tangy, with a slightly sweet aftertaste.Huo Xiaoxie secretly said hello, and drank it down.
Huo Xiaoxie took a long breath, the wine entered his stomach, a wave of warmth rose up, and the evil spirit on his chest was a little bit melted away.
Huo Xiaoxie said: "Good wine."
Lin Wan squinted her eyes, filled another glass for Huo Xiaoxie, poured one for herself, raised her glass and said, "Huo Xiaoxie, I toast you."
Huo Xiaoxie said: "Okay." The two toasted and drank.
Lin Wan said softly: "Huo Xiaoxie, are you familiar with Water King's daughter, Water Demon? Why did you suddenly call her name?"
Huo Xiaoxie frowned, and blurted out a sentence: "She is my wife."
"Wife?" Lin Wan was slightly surprised, then pursed her lips and said to herself, "No wonder..."
Huo Xiaoxie always felt that there was a nerve in his brain that was in the wrong place, but he just didn't know which one.The matter of him and the water monster in the Valley of Purifying Fire is a great secret in his heart, how can he just open his mouth and say it without even stuttering?Even if the dream is both real and illusory, after being greatly stimulated, it shouldn't be said so easily.
Huo Xiaoxie secretly took a few breaths, his head was not dizzy, his mind was clear, and there was nothing unusual about his body.Huo Xiaoxie laughed at himself in his heart: "Just say what you said, it's not a big deal."
Thinking about it this way, Huo Xiaoxie felt relieved, seeing Lin Wan lowering her head in deep thought, she asked, "Why not?"
Lin Wan raised her head and said with a smile, "No wonder you called Water Monster in your sleep, so she is your wife. But everyone knows that Water King wants to marry Water Monster to Zheng Zedao. Hearing you say that suddenly , is bound to be a little surprising."
Huo Xiaoxie smiled wryly, and said: "I know that not many people will believe me when I say it. The water monster and I were married in the Jinghuo Valley, and we only made two obeisances three times before being stopped by the water king. The reason why I called The water demon's wife is because she and I are already husband and wife."
Lin Wan said: "You and Shui Yaoer have such a deep relationship... When I saw Shui Yaoer in Sanbao Town, I saw that she looked at you strangely. At that time, I thought it was wrong. I've seen her many times over the years, but I've never seen her look like that."
Huo Xiaoxie asked, "What look?"
Lin Wan said: "The Shui family is good at disguising and imitating. The character of Shui Yaoer can change ever-changingly, but each time she changes, she has only one personality. When I was in Sanbao Town, I saw that she had many mixed personalities and emotions at the same time. Together, at a loss, it's hard to argue. It's like..."
"Like what?" Huo Xiaoxie asked.
"It seems that there are many, many of them looking at you at the same time." Lin Wan said.
"I do not understand."
"Let's put it this way, everyone has a soul, but Shui Yaoer doesn't. It's not that she doesn't have it, but her soul is split into many pieces, and each piece has a personality, so that she can't find her real self. , this character is also the same, and that character is also, all of them, but none of them. According to the Mu family, Shui Yaoer is probably suffering from the disease of splitting the heart and dispersing the soul. If this continues, she will become a madman like a genius ..."
Huo Xiaoxie's back was pierced like an ice cone, and she immediately recalled what the water king Rukawa said, if she didn't have the water and fire fusion technique to help her, she would die.
"Will she die?" Huo Xiaoxie exclaimed in shock.
"Maybe, heart splitting soul disease is very rare. People with this disease are child prodigies when they were young, and they will become more and more geniuses. These geniuses who can't find themselves may die from a thousand reasons. so that there is no record in history to prove whether the patient died of the disease."
"Water Lord, Water Lord said, if no one can save her with Water and Fire, she will die."
"But my father, Mu Wang, said that the current Water King Rukawa has the disease of cracking the heart and dispersing the soul, but he is still alive? Why, Huo Xiaoxie, the Water King also told you that the water and fire fusion technique saved the water demon. matter?"
"Yes. I said it. Back then, Zheng Zedao and I had a disagreement at the three gates of the Huomen. In the end, we were kicked out by the Huo family and failed to become a disciple of the Huo family. From then on, Water King's attitude towards me was to keep me at arm's length, wishing to kill me, let alone Allow me to be with the water demon."
"Shui Wang Liuchuan, he is the biggest secret of the Shui family. Compared with the secret of the water king, the three snakes of the Shui family are nothing. By the way, Huo Xiaoxie, I remembered it when you said that, that Zheng Zedao He is the twin of water and fire, even if he doesn't know how to fuse water and fire, being with him is indeed good for curing the heart-breaking and soul-dispelling disease."
Huo Xiaoxie listened silently, feeling a tearing pain in his heart. That enemy, Zheng Zedao, was born to be with the water monster, and in terms of talent, martial arts, stealing skills, appearance, identity, and status, they were all the same. Wait, they are all much taller than themselves.That being the case, Shui Yao'er was harming her by being with her, so it's better to cut off all kindness and stop entangled with Shui Yao'er.
Huo Xiaoxie whispered, "Thank you Lin Wan, I know what I should do."
"Huo Xiaoxie, what will you do?"
"Shui Yaoer is no longer my wife, I have nothing to do with her, and I will be a stranger from now on." After Huo Xiaoxie finished speaking, he drank the wine in his glass and said, "Happy!"
Lin Wan poured another cup for Huo Xiaoxie, and said softly, "If you are very bored, just say what you want to say, and I will keep it secret for you."
Huo Xiaoxie looked up at Lin Wan, smiled infatuatedly, took another drink, and said, "Miss Lin Wan, do you know what I dreamed? It's related to you, let me tell you."
...
...
"Hey, hey! Wake up!" Pan Zi pinched Huo Xiaoxie's ear and shook it.
Huo Xiaoxie slowly opened his eyes and muttered, "What time is it?"
"It's already dawn! Everyone is up! Let's go after breakfast! Are you dead asleep?" Pan Zi snorted.
"No, no!" Huo Xiaoxie stood up, feeling a little dizzy, and shouted, "I'm a little dizzy, I've slept this night, it's dark, I don't feel anything at all."
"I think you are too tired." Pan Zi laughed and went to open the door.
Huo Xiaoxie pursed her lips, rubbed her head to wash up, and was refreshed. She felt that she had a good night's sleep, and rarely had a good night's sleep without waking up and dreaming.
Qiao Da and Qiao Er also got up early, and they had already turned around downstairs with the black wind and came back. The four of them bumped into each other, packed up their luggage, closed the door, and went downstairs to the lobby.
Tian Wen had long been drinking tea alone at the square table, and when he saw Huo Xiaoxie and the others coming, he nodded his head and said hello without saying a word.In the past few days, Huo Xiaoxie and the others have gotten used to Tian Wen. Although he doesn't speak, he looks serious, but he is very kind. If you make a joke about him, he won't get angry, at most he will just let out a muffled laugh.
Everyone sat in a circle, and Pan Zi smiled and said, "Brother Tian Wen, you look pretty good! Spring is shining! You didn't do anything good last night."
"Here..." Tian Wen replied muffledly, but with a swipe, his ears turned red.
Huo Xiaoxie scolded, "Pan Zi, what are you talking about?"
How did Pan Zi know that when he was trapped in Duan Wenwen, Lin Wan and Huo Xiaoxie said those blushing words by the campfire, he always thought that Lin Wan and Tian Wen were a couple.In the past, Tian Wen didn't want to come to Qingyun Inn, and Pan Zi couldn't say anything harsh, but he already lived in Lin Wan's land last night, and Tian Wen had a room alone, so he uttered nonsense.
Pan Zi hurriedly said: "I have a bad mouth, I didn't get used to it when I was young, Brother Tian Wen, don't be angry with me. I definitely don't mean anything else."
Tian Wen's ears turned red, he gave a dry laugh, but still refused to speak.
Lin Wan's clear and sweet voice sounded like a silver bell: "Come here, breakfast is here. Everyone has been waiting for a long time!"
Huo Xiaoxie turned her head to look, and saw Lin Wan changed into a light green dress, and greeted the shopkeeper and the guys to bring hot soup, porridge and other delicacies.
Lin Wan and Huo Xiaoxie looked at each other, and stroked her hair shyly. That slightly shy look made Lin Wan as pure and beautiful as a lotus emerging from water.Huo Xiaoxie's heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't explain why, feelings of inseparability, admiration and sympathy for Lin Wan came to his heart, as if he had known her for a long time, and had said countless things to her .
Pan Zi pulled Huo Xiaoxie under the table and made a grimace, which meant: "What are you doing! Are you stupid looking at beautiful women?"
Huo Xiaoxie came to his senses and turned away from looking at Lin Wan, but the restlessness in his heart was still uncontrollable, so he had to sneak a glance at Lin Wan from the corner of his eye.
Huo Xiaoxie secretly called out: "What's wrong with me? Why did I lose my composure when I met Lin Wan today?"
Huo Xiaoxie quickly finished her meal avoiding Lin Wan's eyes, and hid aside on the pretext of morning exercise.While practicing kung fu, Huo Xiaoxie felt turbulent in his heart. This kind of emotion for Lin Wan was only vague all the way, why did it flare up so violently this morning.Thinking that Shui Yaoer is married to him after all, I feel sorry for Shui Yaoer for thinking so wildly, but the more I think about it, the more I feel that my feelings for Shui Yaoer have weakened. Keep it in your heart.
Having no choice but to think about it, Huo Xiaoxie had no choice but to try her best to control it, try to think about other trivial matters, and put Lin Wan's affairs aside for the time being.
After everyone finished their breakfast and packed up, they left the Qingyun Inn and returned to the ground under Lin Wan's leadership.
The shopkeeper had already arranged a boxcar outside. Lin Wan explained that sitting in the boxcar would be able to hide people's eyes and ears, and that she would make other arrangements after crossing the Yangtze River.
Tian Wen didn't object, and boarded the car first, and everyone went up and sat down.The coachman swung his whip, urging the horse forward, and the wheels rolled, heading north again.
Although the journey was much slower, there were people from the Mu Family Qingyun Inn to support him along the way, and the journey was safe and sound.
Huo Xiaoxie had something on her mind, she didn't want others to see it, she kept laughing and talking nonsense with Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er, and Lin Wan interrupted the conversation from time to time, with the same demeanor as usual.
Everyone crossed the Yangtze River, then changed to a fast horse, and lived in various branches of Qingyun Inn along the way.The road along the Central Plains is smooth, and within three days, they have arrived at the junction of the Beijing wing.
Tian Wen stopped letting Lin Wan lead the way, and told everyone that the destination was approaching, which was Daqing Mountain in the Yanshan Mountains.
Known as the "Roof of Western Liaoning", Daqing Mountain extends 3.5 kilometers from north to south and covers an area of 6 square kilometers. It is an extinct volcano with the youngest geological age.It is located in Hezhangzi Township, 40 kilometers southwest of Jianchang County.The entire mountain is covered by natural forests, with hundreds of species of trees and wildflowers such as maple, birch, hazel and rhododendron, peonies and lilies.On the top of the green hills, you can watch the sunrise in the Bohai Sea, and it is said that you can touch the moon in the starry night.
Tian Wen led the people around Beiping, slept in the open for a night, and then walked for a while, and arrived at the foot of Daqing Mountain at noon.
Tian Wen and Lin Wan are noble princes and daughters of the Mu family and the Tu family, but when they saw the Daqing Mountain in the distance, they both showed a slightly nervous expression.
Tian Wen and Lin Wan were nervous, and Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er suddenly felt great pressure. Although the journey was quite exciting, when they really arrived at their destination, they thought that this place was the place that the Qing Dynasty had not seen for hundreds of years. The secret of the biography lies in the insomnia and uneasiness.
The crowd grabbed the horses and jumped off the horses following Tian Wen.Tian Wen paced slowly, looked around, and returned to everyone with his brows furrowed.
Huo Xiaoxie asked in a low voice, "Are you there?"
Tian Wen nodded and said, "Exactly."
Huo Xiaoxie asked again: "Why didn't you leave?"
Tian asked, "The outsider has arrived."
Huo Xiaoxie was startled, and looked around. There were dense forests, jagged rocks, birds singing in the empty mountains, and the strange peaks of Daqingshan in the distance stood out, stretching into the clouds.In the four fields and eight suburbs, there is no other sound except birdsong.
Huo Xiaoxie asked: "Outsider? What outsider? Japanese?"
Tian Wen shook his head and said, "I don't know." He walked to the side of the road, broke off a branch, smoothed a piece of sand with his feet, motioned for the crowd to gather around, and began to write on the ground.
Tian Wen wrote: "This place is still two miles away from the Five Elements Underground Palace, but there is an evil spirit in the mountain atmosphere, and there is a seal of avoiding puppet on the Dingshan Stone of the Tujia. Although the entry is shallow, the momentum is overwhelming. Therefore, let's not enter the front for the time being, and wait around for half a day, and make plans tomorrow morning."
Huo Xiaoxie was surprised, and asked, "You can see this? Why don't I feel that there are people in the mountain at all?"
Tian Wen wrote: "This place was found by the Tujia. Although the appearance is not amazing, there are tens of thousands of years of souls in the ground. If you enter it a little, you can feel the soul moving. You are not Tujia, so you will naturally feel it." not."
Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi scratched their heads repeatedly, Tian Wen's words were so profound that they couldn't figure out why he could find out.
Lin Wan saw the predicament of Huo Xiaoxie and the others, and said: "This is the Tujia's unique art of viewing mountains and debating qi, and I don't know it. But, Heifeng can do it."
Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi were surprised: "What, Heifeng can do it? We are not as good as dogs?"
Lin Wan pointed to Hei Feng and said, "Look at it."
Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi turned their heads and saw that Hei Feng was a little restless, stomping on all fours and growling in his throat.When I came here just now, I didn't pay attention to Hei Feng's reaction, but Lin Wan felt that Hei Feng's behavior was strange when she said this.
林婉说道：“黑风是只灵犬，比普通的家犬感觉更加敏锐。人类虽说是万物之灵，但先天的躲避灾祸的本领，尚不如家禽虫蚁。像是地震、洪水等大灾爆发之前，禽兽家畜都有感觉，而我们却察觉不到。土家人自幼习练地象感知，胜于常人。”
火小邪这才有些明白，本还想再问几句，田问已经走到马边，拉起缰绳，翻身上马，说道：“走！”
田问既然这么说，谁也不敢大意，赶忙都上了马，跟紧了田问。
田问原路折回，走了一小段便换了一条新路，再走半里路，前方依稀现出一个村落，远远看去，这个村落静悄悄的，似乎一个人都没有。
田问拉住缰绳，默默的看了远处的村落几眼，突然喝道：“出来！”
火小邪一路上屏息静气，五感全开，方圆十步之内的响动是瞒不过他的。可田问这么一喊，火小邪还是心惊，怎么有人来了，但他一点感觉都没有。
田问喊完，这才听到前方乱石中噗啵之声响起，一个土灰色的人影几乎是从乱石中游出来似的，飞快的向众人面前奔来。
黑风立即咆哮起来，作势欲扑。火小邪赶忙跳下马来喝止。
只听林婉清叫一声：“乖狗狗，先不要叫。”
黑风听了林婉的话，大头一摆，安静了下来。
这个从乱石中突然冒出的人停也不停，一直奔到田问马前，才啪的一抱拳，朗声道：“大青山镇山使田少归参见少主！”
田问喝道：“不必！”
这个叫田少归的人打扮奇特，所穿根本不是一件衣服，更像是一件挂满石块的布囊，碎草乱枝做成的头套盖住了半边脸，露出的脸颊也是黄黑色，一点看不出长相。
镇山使田少归声调一沉，说道：“少主，你不该来这里。”
田问说道：“别人呢？”
镇山使田少归说道：“别人可以，谁都可以，只是你不行。”
田问厉声道：“让开！”
镇山使田少归一动不动，斩钉截铁的说道：“少主，你已叛出土家，恕不能从命。”
田问沉默片刻，从马上跳下，稳步向镇山使走来，看他的样子，似乎要对镇山使动手。
这个镇山使田少归也够倔犟，抱着拳如同石人，连头不抬一下。
火小邪紧张起来，难道田问不惜和自家人大战一场，也要进山？
眼看着田问已经走到镇山使面前，又有一声喝：“田问，你还要硬闯吗？”
田问一听此话，身子一抖，猛的跳后一步，看向一旁。
火小邪等人都顺着声音看过去，只见山石上站着一个四十多岁的黄袍道士，三缕长髯，仙风道骨一般，手持一根拂尘，面无表情的看着田问。
田问沉声道：“卸岭道宗。”
镇山使田少归见来了道人，也不说话，哧溜一下钻入路旁乱石中，翻滚了两下，又与乱石融为一体，根本看不出有人混在里面。
火小邪、潘子等人不禁暗叹土家藏身的法子厉害。
这边御岭道人点了点头，说道：“田问，你要再上前一步，必然擒你在此！速速退去！此地由不得你擅入！”
田问一字字厉声道：“纵容倭寇！”
御岭道人面色不改，说道：“清帝溥仪已认倭人天皇为父，方才说出此地！既然他不要大清江山，授意给倭人取鼎，则倭人寻鼎，已是顺天合意，只要倭人能破地宫盗鼎，我等只可列阵旁观，不可妄加阻扰！诸如此类，天下诸强，敢来盗者，成败在天，一律放行！唯独你田问不行！”
御岭道人刚说完，一旁林中哗啦啦又是巨响，一个比乔大还高出半个脑袋的髯须大汉，踏的地面巨震，碎石横飞，如同铁塔一般跳到路中，一叉腰已将路口堵住。乔大脑袋见了，不禁摸了摸脑瓜，乔二在乔大耳边低声道：“还有比你更大的西瓜。”
乔大哼哼道：“这西瓜怎么长成熊瞎子他爹似的。”
火小邪、潘子都瞪了他俩一眼，示意他们不要乱说话，一路上火小邪早就叮嘱过潘子和乔大乔二，不要有事没事就贫嘴臭舌，呲牙乱喷，小心惹上麻烦。
田问眉头拧成一团，厉声道：“搬山尊者！”
这条大汉如同洪钟一般念道：“田问，速退！”
田问依旧不退，喝道：“摸金何在！”
嗵的一声，搬山尊者身旁的一块大石爆裂，从中跃出一人，身着紧身暗黑铁甲鳞衣，以土黄巾蒙面，只露出两只锐利的眼睛。
火小邪暗骂：“你先人的，有必要玩的这么炫耀吗？还砰一下出来，当你是孙猴子啊。算你狠吧，有这个功夫挠石头。”
此人一跃而出，跳了两跳，盘腿坐在一块大石上，双手架于胸前，语气平和的说道：“田问，摸金督尉来了，你是要见到发丘神官才死心吗？刚好他也来了。”
田问并不答话，盯着面前的三人。
有中年男子的声音念道：“田问，你若是盗鼎，本也不想阻你，可是你意在毁鼎，怎能答应了你？”这声音从搬山尊者身后传出，随即一个身着暗黄长袍的男人从搬山尊者身后绕出，此人除了年纪大了不少，身高长相竟和田问别无二致。
这人上前几步，走到田问面前，又道：“土家四门宗主都来了，你是进不去的，你走吧。”
田问见了此人，终于低下头来，颤声道：“哥！你为何！”
这人就是发丘神官，乃是土家四门宗主之首，同时也是田问的哥哥，名叫田遥。土行世家，以土王为尊，下设四门，各门宗主依次为发丘神官田遥、御岭道宗田观、摸金督尉田令、搬山尊者田迟。各门又分三売（音同脉），依次是印、封、守；前、砗、罔；行、遣、墜；盾、集、围。各宗以九九为数，即每売九十九人，称之为正土行士，其余土家弟子，称之为候土行士。
田问心里明白，土家四门宗主同时出现，乃是有极大的事情发生。
发丘神官沉声道：“田问，我知你年少时受过中山先生教诲，笃信三民主义，可你看了这么多年乱世沉浮，现在还不明白吗？中国不可无皇帝，中国无人不想当皇帝，所以这世道也不会因为鼎毁了而变为共和。五行鼎是天下人心所化，亿万大众民心不变，鼎是毁不掉的！你何苦做这些徒劳无功之事？你去吧去吧，倭寇盗走了鼎也好，蒋介石盗走了也好，只要他们能守得到五行灯齐亮，就是民心所向，从此天下一统，结束乱世，何乐而不为？”
田问憋红了脸，一字字念道：“倭寇心毒！欲灭中华！不能！不能！”
火小邪还是第一次听田问一口气说了十二个字，可见他已经到了无法再忍，急迫难当的地步。
发丘神官田遥说道：“倭寇？那大清满族旗人算什么？他们数百年前入关时，被汉人斥为鞑虏，几乎屠尽汉血忠士，最终如何，还不是归化中华？我看现在的倭人，中华之风比当年的鞑虏强上数倍！田问，你太年轻了，你忘了我们是五行世家，是盗贼的祖宗，不是欺世盗名的正人君子！倭寇又如何！五行世家只认鼎，不认人！”
田问大喝道：“疯了么！”
田遥脸上涌起肃杀之气，也喝道：“田问，你再放肆，我就要行土家家法，将你擒住，把你压在灭世坑中到死！还不走！”
田问攥紧了拳头，几乎是怒发冲冠，但他深知田遥不是开玩笑，自己绝对敌不过四门宗主，蹬蹬后退两步，惨声道：“我们走！”
火小邪一直不愿说话，可见到田问如此刚强的汉子，也落到硬吞下一口气的地步，实在替田问抱不平。但火小邪临经许多磨难，已经知道有些事情不是逞能出风头能解决的。
火小邪呵呵一笑，快步走上前，对着发丘神官田遥叫道：“喂！这位老兄！”
潘子以为火小邪要找发丘神官的麻烦，潘子这小子平时精明，可一见到兄弟要发飙，气血嗡的一下就能上脑，属于不管许多，先开打以后再想办法的那号主。
潘子唰的一下抽出两把银枪在手，歪着个脑袋，摆出一副流氓痞子混蛋王八蛋的尊荣，瞪着前方，跟在火小邪身后。
田问大惊，正要一把拉住火小邪，岂知火小邪客客气气的说道：“这位老兄啊，我不是五行世家的人，我能进去吧。”
发丘神官田遥被问的一愣，飞快的打量了一番火小邪，说道：“你是何人？”
田问见火小邪没有发难，仍不敢怠慢，守在火小邪身旁。
火小邪说道：“我叫火小邪，我身后呲牙咧嘴的是我兄弟潘子，长的怪模怪样的是我两个徒弟乔大脑袋、乔二爪子。介绍完毕！嗯！你们刚才说的，除了田问，谁都能过去，不会说话不算话吧。”
田遥没想到平地里冒出火小邪这个小鬼问话，还问的他不好阻挡，心想只要田问不进去，这些人进去也是盲人摸象，找不到北。
于是田遥抱了抱拳，说道：“你们可以，请。”说着田遥脚上一迈，让开了道路，极有派头的做出个请的手势。
火小邪哦了一声，嬉皮笑脸的说道：“哦！对了，今天没空了，改天再来。后会有期啊！”
火小邪一说完，立即转身就走，把田遥傻愣愣的晾在身后。
田问也被火小邪搞的愣神，跟上一步，问道：“你是何意？”
火小邪说道：“从长计议，从长计议，先问个清楚。哈哈，土家人真有趣。”
潘子立即明白，马屁拍来：“哈哈，你看他们那傻样，笑死我了！”
林婉一直躲在最后，此时也忍俊不住，掩嘴轻笑了两声。
火小邪和潘子互相做了几个鬼脸，不住的发笑，笑的是前俯后仰。众人翻身上马，拍马就走，把同样闷头闷脑的田问抛在最后。田问琢磨了一下为何火小邪、潘子发笑，但一时不明白，赶忙先追上。
发丘神官田遥刚摆好姿势，就让火小邪玩了一票，说不出的尴尬，他一脸肃杀，可就是发作不出来，只好转头看向摸金督尉、搬山尊者、御岭道宗，结果这三人也正回不过神来。
等田问一行已经走开许远，御岭道宗田观才低骂一声：“臭小子！邪门歪道！”
说话间，落在队伍最后的田问突然一转头，一张原本毫无表情的脸上，突然一变，竟学着火小邪、潘子刚才嬉闹时的表情，拧出一个僵硬的鬼脸，又啪的冲四门宗主一吐舌，嘎嘎嘎干笑几声，扭过头追火小邪他们去了。
发丘神官田遥的脸不自然的跟着田问抽了抽，随即低骂道：“什么意思！跟谁学的这个怪样！”
摸金督尉田令咂嘴道：“田问是不是中邪了？要不我们追上去看看？”
发丘神官田遥说道：“不必，刚才那个一言不发的绿衣女子是木家千金林婉，又称木家魔女，十足厉害的角色，我一直在提防她。恐怕他们有计，想骗我们过去。”
御岭道宗田观说道：“田问恐怕是跟那个叫火小邪的臭小子学坏了。”
搬山尊者田迟说道：“哦……”
四门宗主齐齐抬头看去，只听到田问吼吼吼的闷笑声传来，人已经随着火小邪他们跑不见了。
火小邪他们一撤就是数里，直到田问让大家停下。众人下马，围坐一圈，半晌之后，火小邪才说道：“这么大的一座山，我们怎么都能避开他们，绕进去吧！”
田问说道：“甚难！”
火小邪又道：“我看他们主要是针对你的，不让你进去。我们人多，目标也大，我还有一个办法，就是我们先进去，找个地方等你，你一个人花点功夫混进来。”
田问说道：“此计难用。”田问看向林婉，凭空画了一个门的形状，做了个堵的手势。
林婉会意，说道：“田问是说，刚才我们见到的土家四门宗主隐守在五行地宫入口，他们要是不让开，我们进山容易，地宫却是进不去的。我说的对吗？”
田问点头称是，缓缓站起，遥望远山，说道：“时日无多……”说着一指耳朵，再说道：“听！”
“听什么？”火小邪正在疑惑，忽听到远处山间传来一声沉闷的炮响，随即隆隆隆山石震裂声大作。
潘子叫道：“有人放屁！不是，是放炮！有人在炸山呢。”
火小邪亦道：“听声音好像是这座山背面，那是什么方向？”
田问说道：“建昌城。”
傍晚时分，离大青山三十余里开外的建昌城外，四个全身脏兮兮的男人，一个是精瘦的矮子，一个是身材异常高大傻兮兮的汉子，一个是一脸苦相的瘦子，只有一个看着还正常点，不过也是佝偻着身子，无精打采的。这四人跟在回城的骡马队后面，摇摇晃晃的向城门走来。
建昌位于辽西战略要冲之地，自古以来兵家必争，此时虽说建昌没有战事，但十多年间，总有大量逃兵，闯关东的，走江湖的等等闲人混迹于此，所以看上去建昌城既热闹又肮脏，街头上混吃等死、贼眉鼠眼、东张西望的人数不胜数。
守城的几个士兵，歪戴着帽子，正靠在墙边嗑瓜子侃大山，对进城来的人看都懒的看一样。这四人向里走去，本来以为无事，却听到身后有人叫骂：“前面的！站住！”
无精打采的男子回头道：“几位长官，叫我们呢？”
几个士兵吐出瓜子皮，走上几步，将他们半围住，一个兵头模样的人骂道：“你们几个鬼鬼祟祟的，哪里来的？”
男子一嘴的东北奉天话：“从奉天，从奉天，几位长官好。”
兵头打量了四人几眼，骂道：“看你们就不是什么好鸟，从奉天那好地方来我们这个小地方干屁啊干！”
男人答道：“几位长官，在奉天混不下去了呗，来这里想投靠个远房亲戚，卖苦力混口饭吃。”
兵头骂道：“放你娘的屁！是不是犯了啥事逃到这里来的？”
男人忙道：“不是不是，绝对不是，您看我们这模样，哪敢犯什么事啊。”
兵头手一伸，勾了勾手指，哼道：“拿来！”
“啥？啥拿来？”
“买路钱啊，你说啥？你当建昌想进就进啊，这是规矩！麻利点，不然就滚蛋。”
这男人看了身后一脸苦相的瘦猴一眼，瘦猴哆哆嗦嗦，全身摸遍，才掏出两枚铜板，苦道：“就，就两个子，俺们的全部身家。”
兵头伸手抓过，揣到怀中，骂道：“穷鬼！告诉你们，别在建昌惹事，不然一人一颗枪子。滚吧！”
男人赶忙带着其他三人向里走。
身后士兵又叫：“等一下！那个黑大个，你叫什么？”
身材异常高大的男人站住脚，抓了抓头，傻乎乎的说道：“我，我叫大西瓜。”
寻常男子忙道：“这人脑子有点傻，长官见谅。”
兵头这才作罢，一挥手转身回去，又和其他士兵嬉笑。
那四个脏兮兮的男人进了城，走的远了去，才听到城门口那几个士兵嚷嚷起来：“见了鬼了，我的钱呢？我的老天爷，明明记得装兜里的。”
这四人懒洋洋的往巷子里面一转，立即挺直了腰板，速速前行，很快便找到一个无人处，躲了起来。
这四个人就是火小邪、潘子、乔大、乔二。
火小邪手中亮出两枚铜板，丢还给了潘子，潘子接过，骂骂咧咧说道：“操他们娘的，今天晚上我就偷的他裤衩都没得穿，敢要我的钱，当我们是好惹的啊。嘿嘿，火小邪，你现在手艺不错啊。”
火小邪说道：“少贫嘴！乔大、乔二，你们两个一路，我们四个这就散了开去，把建昌城里面的情况摸个清楚。二个时辰后，我们在这里会合。”
乔大、乔二两人平时痴傻，真让他们干事，他们也是精明的很，顿时贼性腾起，两眼放光，兴奋的很，说道：“是啦，火师父。”
潘子嘀咕道：“凭什么田问和林婉，能够牵着大狗，骑着高头大马招摇着进城，住大酒楼，吃好喝好，而我们非要搞的这么寒酸。老子身上可是有百万大洋，能把这座城都买空掉！”
火小邪骂道：“就你这个猥琐样，还是省省吧。你要是摆阔，这条街上多少眼睛盯着你呢，别惹事了。”
潘子叹了声，抱怨道：“是这么个理。那咱们这就走吧，这个小破县城，不用二个时辰，一个时辰就逛完了。”
火小邪说道：“潘子你别手痒偷别人的东西，另外大家要特别留心日本人的动静，我们走！”
几个人应了，站起身来四散走开，眨眼都不见了踪影。
另一边田问、林婉带着黑风已经来到一间颇为排场的大酒楼前，门前的伙计一间这两位主的气质容貌，立即眉开眼笑跳到跟前，正要奉承。
脖子上套着绳索，由田问牵着的黑风，汪的一声叫，吓的伙计倒退三尺，差点跌倒在地上，惨叫道：“狮子狮子！黑狮子！”
林婉笑道：“没事的，你不惹它，它不会咬你的。是不是啊，黑风。”
黑风听的懂似的，点了点大脑袋，再不乱叫。
伙计一喜，又来了精神，巴结道：“这位爷！这位姑奶奶！两位里面请！小店有宫廷御宴，上好的客房！两位真是来对地方了。”
林婉清脆的说道：“甚好，不过先把我的小狗拴好，不然会吓到你店里的客人。”
伙计听如此端庄俏丽的美人说话，心里糊了蜜似的，连忙答应下来，呼喊其他伙计过来，栓好马匹，领着林婉、田问从店门一旁走到后院，将黑风安置妥当，才带着田问、林婉进店。
田问带着黑风招摇过市，在当年并不稀罕，特别是出关以后的东北一带市镇，有钱有势的公子哥，都喜欢骑着高头大马遛狗，有爱炫耀的，一次带着七八只猎狗，一众打手，咆哮过市，很是惹人注意。
所以田问、林婉这等气质的男女，牵着一条硕大的黑狗进城，守城士兵都不敢放一个小屁出来。
而火小邪、潘子等和田问、林婉分开进城，要算是火小邪的主意，第一他们六骑大马一起进城，目标太大；第二是火小邪不喜欢人指指点点，觉得别扭，装草民进城还自在点。
田问、林婉在酒店就坐，这两人郎才女貌，立即引起众多食客的注意。还没等菜上桌，就有一个富商打扮的人走到桌边，抱拳行礼，问道：“这位先生，有些眼生，敢问一句您从哪里来？”
田问答道：“南方。”
这富商又问：“哦！南方好啊！敢问先生怎么称呼？来建昌有什么安排？我是建昌城里荣久商社
