Chapter 61 The 60th Xiangjiang River to Avoid Disasters and Difficult Ways to Perceive Yin Yuelu and Recognize Strange Old Men by Facing the Wind and Dust

It is said that Zhao Xinyuan, the god of smoke mentioned above, has been living in Taojiazhuang since he beat out many teachers who cheated and swindled in Taojiazhuang, Nanchang, Jiangxi. He taught him the skills of his life, and the two masters and apprentices practiced martial arts every day, but they were safe.I don't want to look at the village with Tao Jun one day, and suddenly see a silver dart flying from the woods on the slope in front of me, and then a person flying in the distance. Looking closer, I recognized Xu Yue, the master master under the hands of Xichuan Eight Demons. .Just because the eight demon lord Qiu Jie robbed the escort car of a escort on Xichuan Road, Zhao Xinyuan intervened. Seeing the victory, he flew a plum blossom needle from the dark to defeat Qiu Jie.Looking for the person who put the needle everywhere, but he couldn't find it. He suspected that he was the same party, and hated him deeply. He went back to the mountain to discuss with his seven brothers, and decided to find Zhao Xinyuan and the person who put the needle.At that time, Xinyuan was originally agitated by righteous indignation, so he didn't recognize Qiu Jia at first.Afterwards, having made a grudge and knew that he was no match, Man planned to run back to Sanyou Cave in Yichang to ask his master, the heroic monk Yifan, for help, but he didn't want to be reprimanded by the heroic monk Yifan and kicked out.Xinyuan had no choice but to seek refuge and travel all over the rivers and lakes before settling down in Tao's house.Unexpectedly, after a short while, the subordinates of the Eight Demons found out and came with the silver dart invitation.The heart knows that a catastrophe is coming, and knows that it is impossible to win against others, but it is not a long-term way to avoid it for a long time.In the past, you could pretend that you didn't know it, but now that you have come face to face with the enemy, if you try to hide again, wouldn't you be ridiculed by the world?Immediately came forward to admit that next year's Dragon Boat Festival will go to Qingluoshan to attend the appointment.So he bid farewell to Tao Jun, planning to find some helpers in the past half a year or so.After leaving Taojiazhuang, he calculated carefully on the way, knowing that his master blamed him, he shouldn't ask himself to go down the mountain after failing in his studies, he caused trouble, and he couldn't deal with it, so let him alone.Except for the heroic monk Yifan, the master, all the friends in his life are nothing more than Wei Qing, the land golden dragon, and none of them are opponents of the Eight Demons, so why bother to invite them to accompany him?After much deliberation, I thought of Master's two good friends: one is Zhu Mei, a dwarf old man in Songshan Mountain, but this old man's whereabouts are uncertain, you can meet him but you can't find him, and you have to touch your own good fortune to find him; the other is Changsha Valley Wang Feng's reclusive Taoist Iron Man, he doesn't often go down the mountain all year round, so it's more certain to find him.If one of the above two can be found, he can help him eliminate demons, and he can also force his master, the heroic monk Yifan, to join in his help.After making up his mind, Xiaoxing stayed overnight and set off for Changsha.

At this time, the Manchus entered the customs not long ago, and those traitors and traitors have lost their reputations, how many of them know the conscience, are honest and love the people?Coupled with some local tyrants, tyrants, cunning officials and Xuxu who are working for tigers, foxes and mice rely on the city, and do their best to do their best. What we can hear everywhere is the mourning of the suffering and injustice of the people, and I almost broke my heart.I thought: "I used to live in central Sichuan, because the land is sparsely populated and the land is fertile. Although I met many corrupt officials and bullies, they were not as powerful as on Hunan Road. I wanted to reach out to fight against injustice, but because the date was approaching. If I can't think of it now A fundamental solution is to save a family or two. Not only will it not help, but it will even hurt the victim, and the good will not end. It is better to let them survive for the time being, and wait until they pass the Dragon Boat Festival, and get rid of the eight demons by luck, and then unite with most of their colleagues to make a big move , On the contrary, I am happy. At this time, I simply pretend not to know, and I will talk about it after finishing my own business." With something on my mind, I naturally quickened my pace.When he arrived at the top of Guwang Peak, he searched up and down the whole mountain, and found no trace of Taoist Iron Man.Later, when I walked to the foot of Yuelu Mountain, I saw a Taoist man dressed in a strange manner, with sharp eyesight, and he knew that he was very human.The Taoist also felt that Xinyuan was capable.The two sides sat down together in front of Yuemiao, and talked about each other's backgrounds, only to find out that the Taoist's name was Huang Xuanji, and he was also visiting Taoist Qiu Tieyu.He said that it was an unfortunate coincidence that Taoist Tie Liao had gone to Yunnan and Guizhou three days ago.Xinyuan was greatly disappointed, seeing that Huang Xuanji was very decent and capable, so he expressed his thoughts and asked him for help.Huang Xuanji said: "Your enemies, the Eight Devils, are also enemies with me, because I am alone and alone, but he can't help it. The two of us are just working together to find experts and eliminate harm for the people. I have a little thing to do. Delay another day, and we can go together."

Although Xinyuan is impatient, it is not on this day.Fortunately, I was alone, after discussing with Huang Xuanji, I returned to my apartment, took my small package, and moved to a small ruined temple where Huang Xuanji lived.It was already Xiangwan, seeing Huang Xuanji talking to a middle-aged man in white, and seeing Xinyuan coming, he introduced them to both of them.When I asked the man's name, I found out that he was Zhou Chun, the flying crane in the cloud, who was famous in the "Three Heroes of Qi and Lu" in northern Hebei in the past.Xinyuan saw that although Zhou Chun was dressed like a layman, he had a heroic face, a handsome conversation, and star-like eyes, and he admired him very much.Huang Xuanji and Zhou Chun were talking vigorously at first, but when they saw him come in, they sat down, but they stopped talking, guessing that they had betrayed someone, so they got up to leave.Huang Xuanji saw the meaning of Xinyuan, so he smiled and said: "Actually, we did not avoid people when we said a few words, but it is not yet the time to speak clearly, fellow Taoist, don't mind."

Xinyuan said a few words politely, then walked out of the temple alone to take a look.At this time, the setting sun was about to disappear from the mountain, and it was dark, and the mountains and mountains on all sides were faintly covered with a layer of purple smoke.Looking at the Xiangjiang River in the east, it looks like a horse stretching straight down.On one side are the peaks piercing the clouds, surrounded by stars.On one side is Pingchou Guangye, with dense cottages.Wisps of white cooking smoke leaked out from Lin Yue, curling up.Because in the middle of winter, the vegetation is withered, showing a more clear and open atmosphere.Xinyuan was just looking dazed, when suddenly there was the sound of footsteps behind him.Looking back, it turned out to be a poor old man dressed in shabby clothes, with a greasy face, dragging two pieces of worn-out shoes, walking towards Xinyuan.If other people see the old man's poor appearance, he will never care. At most, he will pity him for his old age and poverty, or give him a little money.Xinyuan's eyesight is so sharp, before the old man got close, he already felt the strange behavior of him; when he got to the opposite side, he couldn't help being surprised.Seeing that although the old man was poor, he was born with a crane head and shoulders, his walk was not stained with dust, his face was covered with oil, his half-closed eyes were shining brightly, and he still couldn't hide the person's behavior, so he knew that he was a senior. A wise man.With a heartbeat, he leaned forward to strike up a conversation and said, "Old man, do you think the evening scene is good?" The old man heard this, and said angrily: "God! You see how poor I am, and you still say that my evening scene is good, you How dare you ridicule me for no reason?" After saying that, he was gearing up, blushing with anger, looking like he was looking for someone to fight.Xinyuan knew that he had misunderstood, and was not angry when he scolded him for a few words. Instead, he apologized and said: "Don't be angry, old man. I'm talking about the evening scene of the sunset and the mountain, not the evening scene of old age. Xiaoke's slip of the tongue, it's so annoying The old man made a mistake, please forgive me!" The old man restrained his anger when he heard this, heaved a long sigh, turned around and left.Xinyuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Old man, what's on your mind, why don't you say he's coming out, so Xiao Ke can do his best." Hearing the words, the old man didn't even bother to respond, but he quickly got up on his feet .

Xinyuan saw that the old man moved swiftly, the more he guessed that he was not an ordinary person, he ran after him.After going around to the bottom of a stream on the east side of Yuelu Mountain, the old man finally sat down on a rock, still sighing incessantly.Xinyuan rushed to the old man, and said a few words just now again.The old man stood up suddenly, spit on Xinyuan's face, and said, "Do you want to help me? You deserve it too? You can't even take care of yourself." Xinyuan was insulted by the old man for no reason, Although there is anger in my heart, it still doesn't show on my face.When I heard the last sentence, I felt that there was a reason for it.Wiping off the saliva on his face, he replied with an apologetic smile: "Xiao Ke knows that her ability is limited and she can't help the old man, but if she hears the name of the old man's life experience, so that the younger generation will know that she loves you, why not?" The old man Hearing this, he laughed and said: "You have a good manner, don't be angry with my old man. I don't understand a few words of what you said. You probably want to ask me why I sigh? You don't know, I have a good wife , named Ling Xuehong, died many years ago, leaving my old man alone, alone. When she was around, she would hopscotch and go to other people's houses to steal some money to buy wine with me. Now it is said that I often don’t eat wine, even rice. I have a disciple named Zhou who told me not to cheat others for wine. He was willing to provide it to me, but I didn’t; besides, he was a thief a few years ago. , the wine he invited me to eat had a bit of a thief smell, and the more I ate, the more uncomfortable I became. I ran to the bottom of Yuelu Mountain, trying to catch two opportunities to trick him into drinking some wine. Who knew that after waiting for three days, one of them could not drink. I didn’t meet him. Only there was an old Taoist in that small dilapidated temple, and he was willing to treat me to a drink. But I calculated that he would ask me to do a very difficult and troublesome thing after he treated me to a drink, so I again I don’t dare to appreciate it. How many times have I thought about it in front of his temple? Don’t do things for others, they won’t invite me to drink; do it, I’m lazy, in fact, things like this were harder than his a few years ago, I I don't care; now I'm old and lazy, I plan to eat for free, and I can't meet the time. It's so easy to meet you, and you say something about the evening view of the well, which arouses my thoughts. For a long time. I don't know what you do, but you can tell whether you are empty or not just by whether you invite me to dinner or not."

Seeing the old man talking crazy, Xinyuan knew that the real person would not show his face.In particular, he said that his wife's name was Ling Xuehong, who was so familiar that he couldn't remember it for a while.After thinking about it for a while, I calculated that the old man must be a man of Taoism, not a first-class swordsman.Hold on to the purpose, no matter how embarrassing he is, no matter how long he decides to linger with him, you must finally find out what he has hidden.Then he smiled and replied: "It turns out that the old man wants to drink, and Xiao Ke is willing to offer it to you. But will the old man be willing to show you face?" The old man said: "Come on slowly. How many people have invited me to drink over the years, there is no one time that I didn't treat him as an old man at the beginning. Kongzi, but after I finished eating, I actually suffered from the soft mouth of others. I was so happy to be busy with them, and almost exhausted me to death. I have never met you before, and you invited me to drink as soon as we met. Now this How can there be a good person like you in the world? Could it be that I will treat you as an empty hole, and when I finish eating, I will become an empty hole? Then it doesn't count." Xinyuan said: "Don't worry about it, old man, Xiao Ke is really sincere. Please. However, Xiao Ke is new here and is not familiar with the place, please choose a good wine shop, how about Xiao Ke to accompany Lao Zhang?" The old man said: "In this way, you are willing to take advantage of it? Seeing that he was not polite, Xinyuan said clearly that he was asking him to take advantage of his time. Qingzhi was deliberately pretentious and thought it was funny, but she still replied respectfully: "Xiao Ke sincerely asks me, I have no other intentions. The sky is already dark , let's go." The old man said: "Go and go. I saw you coming out of that small ruined temple just now, and I guessed that you were an idler. You probably know the old Taoist of that temple. He has no good intentions for me. You have to Go ask him out, I'd rather suffer from starvation and tuberculosis, and I won't go." Xinyuan originally wanted to drop by and ask Huang and Tuesday to go with him, but seeing what the old man said, he had no choice but to give up, but Huang Xuanjiyuan said that he would wait a day before leaving.It's just that he didn't have time to talk with Zhou Chun, so it's not without grudges.He nodded in agreement at the moment.

The two went down the mountain and walked all the way to the west gate.On the way, Xinyuan asked the old man's name again.The old man said: "The name used to exist a few years ago, but it has not been used for a long time now. You keep calling yourself Xiao Ke, so it must be your nickname, so I will call you Xiao Ke. You don't need to call me Lao Zhang, Xin Zhang I haven’t planned to pay it back yet. Call me old man. I’m upset. How to do it: I always like to wear white clothes, but it’s a pity that I wear white clothes one day, so you call me old white because I love white. I'll call you Xiao Ke, and no one needs to ask your name. If it bothers you, I won't go with you." At this time, Xinyuan had seen through the old man's background, so he had no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient.After the two entered the city, they found a famous restaurant on Ximen Street, called the bartender, and ordered a lot of food and drinks.The old man saw the wine as if he had met his fate, he scrambled to eat and drink, his mouth was dry until the glass was dry, and his hand was dry.Xinyuan used words to test him several times, but the old man didn't speak, and only ate him.I can't help but wait patiently for him to finish eating, and go back with him, I think I will know the truth.After eating this meal for two hours, it was not until the shopkeepers were about to come to the door and the drinkers had left that the old man said: "Just do it!" Smelling of alcohol, he stood up.The bartender opened the account and calculated that the wine alone weighed more than forty catties. Talking about the store, even Xinyuan was shocked.At that moment, You Xinyuan paid the wine bill and accompanied the old man downstairs.As soon as they got to the street, the old man wanted to break up.Xinyuan asked him where he lived, and said that he wanted to accompany him.The old man was furious when he heard the words: "I know you have no good intentions. You obviously want to get me drunk through this meal of wine, and pretend to send me back to Hengshan, so that you can find out where I live, and then steal me. You hate me!" I eat for free, wait until I vomit it back to you." After speaking, he opened his mouth and vomited.Xinyuan hurriedly dodged, one inadvertently bumped into a pedestrian.That man was a young man, but his expression was elegant, and there was a hint of heroism in his brows.Xinyuan bumped into someone by mistake, and when he hurriedly made amends, the person knew that Xinyuan bumped into someone unintentionally, so he didn't care about it, the two sides said a few polite words and parted ways.Xinyuan saw in the dark that when the man was approaching, there was a sad face on his face, and he didn't pay much attention to it.When he was busy looking for the old man, he had already gone a long way, and Xinyuan quickly chased after him.The old man turned his head and saw Xinyuan coming, so he ran away, even if your Xinyuan travels thousands of miles a day, you will not be able to catch up, the difference between the two sides is always several feet away.He chased to the side of the city wall, at this time the city gate was closed tightly, and in a flash, the old man was already standing on the city wall.What a quick look Xinyuan didn't see how he went up.Now that I have seen some behaviors, how can I be willing to give up?He kept pleading in his mouth, begging the old man to stay.With a strong effort on the soles of the feet, he also reached the top of the city wall.Seeing Xinyuan, the old man threw himself after him, and with a sound of "Aiya", he turned somersault and fell under the moat.Xinyuan hurriedly jumped down, and then looked for the old man, but there was no sign of him.Although he knew that the old man was a strange person, he deliberately tested him, but he couldn't guess what his intention was.Seeing that there are many stars in the sky, the cold wind is piercing through the bones, and there is a lot of snow.After thinking about it for a while, I had no choice but to turn around in the ruined temple of Yuelu Mountain listlessly.Huang Xuanji and Zhou Chun were no longer in the temple, and there was a piece of paper under the lampstand on the altar table, which read: Huang and Zhou had something to do now because they were waiting for him not to return, and they had to go to Hengshan. can come back.The tea and lights in the temple are all ready, please wait for them to come back and go on the road together.Xinyuan saw this note and had to wait in the temple.Lie down on a board table casually, with the ups and downs of thoughts, coupled with the sound of springs and pine waves, I can't fall asleep even more.He got up again, walked out of the temple and looked around, it was pitch black, and the peaks, ridges, rocks and hills that he had seen during the day had disappeared.Xinyuan casually sat down on a big rock beside the temple, and after a while, the tree calmed down, and snowflakes the size of a goose palm fluttered down one by one.In this moment of complete silence, even the sound of snowflakes falling to the ground seems to be heard.The more Xinyuan sat, the more bored he became, and suddenly he felt a piece of coldness dripping down from his forehead. When he touched it with his hand, it turned out that it was snow falling on his head, which was melted and flowed down by the heat.

Xinyuan saw that the snow was getting bigger and bigger, so he stood up, shook the snow on his body, and was about to turn back to the temple, when he heard a sound of breaking through the sky.Although Xinyuan swordsmanship is not very good, he is an expert. He heard that he is powerful, so he quickly hid his body behind a tree, hiding in the dark, to see what happened.Just as he hid his figure, the man with the sword light came in front of him, two yellow lights flashed, and two strangely dressed men appeared in front of the ruined temple gate, they were dressed the same as the eight demons Qiu Jia met on Xichuan Road in the past, They all have disheveled hair, holding a long sword from the mourning gate, dressed in non-monk and non-daoist clothes, and looking from the yellow light, they look very ferocious.Xinyuan was taken aback, and guessed that the Eight Demons followed and found him for revenge.Self-thinking ability is by no means an opponent, and I dare not even move when I lie there.Just as they were thinking, the two came to the front of the temple, let alone walked into the temple without even thinking about it.Xinyuan was secretly lucky that he was not in the temple.Just as he was about to escape when the two of them were gone, he suddenly felt his left arm go numb, and he couldn't move his body immediately.Knowing that she was plotted against by others, those two people were not the only ones who came.Can't help but let out a long sigh, and had to sit and wait for death.Not long after, the two people who had gone in before came out, shouting strangely, and said: "Obviously Xu Yue said he lived here, how could he not be here?" The other person said: "Third brother Don't be busy, look at the lamps in the temple, it is expected that the guy will not stay away and will come back eventually, how about we sit on that rock and wait for him to come back?" Then he walked towards the big rock where Xinyuan was sitting on.At this time, the snow had stopped, and there was about an inch of snow on the ground.Xinyuan could see clearly from behind the tree, and when he saw someone walking towards him, he couldn't help sweating secretly.Fortunately, those two people never saw Xinyuan, they only came to the tree, brushed the remaining snow with their hands on the stone, and sat down casually.Before I sat down, I heard one say: "Sixth brother, you can see that there are thick and thin marks on this stone, and someone has sat here. Could it be that the fellow is near here and hasn't gone far?" The other replied. "What's the difficulty? We just need to let out the sword light and search around. Unless he's not here, we're afraid that he won't show up?"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a beep.The person who spoke first jumped up and shouted: "Sixth brother, be careful! Someone is plotting against the two of us." After finishing speaking, he released the sword light first to protect his body.Then the speaker asked what happened.The one who spoke first replied: "I was listening to you, and suddenly someone slapped me in the dark, making gold stars pop out of my head. It wasn't someone plotting, what else?" There were two thuds, and one person was hit again, very hard.Both of them became furious, each of them released their sword light, and stabbed up and down, left and right for a while.Unexpectedly, the faster the sword light danced, the more severe the beating would be. The beating only made the two of them dizzy and in unbearable pain.Xin Yuan was just worried and scared behind the tree, and suddenly saw the two of them being beaten by a person hiding in the dark, it was very funny, almost forgot that they were also unable to move, and were in a dangerous situation together.I also heard one of the two say: "Sixth brother, I think what happened tonight is a bit strange. At first, I didn't see that guy, but it was all right. Why did I just sit on that rock and then fight? If it is you and my enemy, based on the fact that that person can be invisible, he can take the lives of both of us like a fist. Maybe we ran into the tree god, and he hit us a few times as a warning. It is unknown." Another One said: "Don't talk so casually. You don't know the truth of everything now. Be careful that there is a joke. The man is not in the temple. Why don't we go back for a while and come back tomorrow morning." It's two beeps.The two demon kings were so frightened that they didn't speak, and they drove away with Jian Guang at the same time.Seeing the two running away timidly from behind the tree, Xinyuan looked very embarrassed and thought it was funny.Suddenly I saw the yellow light turning straight in the air, as if something blocked it, forcing the two yellow lights to rush around like frozen flies drilling through the window paper, but they couldn't fly out of the circle.Xinyuan was secretly surprised.After a while, two yellow lights fell at the same time, and the two people still appeared before, walked to the big tree where Xinyuan was hiding, and discussed with each other for a while, each of them sat cross-legged in the snow, shielded their bodies with the sword light, and muttered something in their mouths , there was no movement for a long time.Only one person said: "It's weird! It's weird! Why can't even our spells work tonight?" Another person replied: "I don't think there will be such a capable person here who can not show his body. The one who broke my magic method and trapped me must be the tree god and me." Having said this, his voice lowered.After staying for a while, the two people both approached the big tree and said to the tree: "We two came here to find an enemy, and we have never made trouble with Zunshen, why bother to fight against us?" Xinyuan saw the two people Standing in front of him, less than ten feet away, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe.Hearing the blessings from the two of them, even I suspected that I had collided with the spirit of the mountain, so I couldn't move.While contemplating, he suddenly heard a sneer "噗嗤" from the back of his head, which shocked his heart greatly.
