Chapter 33 Thirty-third time driving down Jiangnan

Zhan Mengbai said happily: "Of course...but..." He suddenly remembered the futon in Jinshan Temple, the secrets in the futon must never be delayed, but he was reluctant to let go of this wonderful competition. Mr. Lan Da said: "Could it be that you have something urgent and can't wait?" Zhan Mengbai let out a long sigh and said, "Exactly." Mr. Lan Da said: "What is so urgent?" Zhan Mengbai said: "Senior will know what I want...to do...in the future." After all, he is a young man at heart, thinking of the bet made by Tie Tuo, he is unwilling to tell the matter in front of Tie Tuo.

Mr. Lan Da turned his eyes and seemed to see that he must be in trouble, and suddenly said with a smile: "If you have something to do, go quickly, anyway, this time will never be as exciting as last time." Zhan Mengbai pondered and said: "Since that's the case, I will... wait for the two of you to come back after finishing your work at Jinshan Temple, but seniors must not forget that there is still..." Mr. Lan Da smiled and said: "Just don't worry, the old man will never forget it." Zhan Mengbai said: "I will go here." Tie Tuo laughed and scolded: "Go, go, I know you must have something to hide from me, even Lan Laoer is sneaky like that."

Mr. Lan Da laughed and said, "What a shrewd old man." Zhan Mengbai smiled apologetically, and finally turned around to leave. Mr. Lan Da suddenly called him again, Zhan Mengbai stopped and turned around, Mr. Lan Da said: "I almost forgot to ask you, who is that old man in yellow shirt?" Zhan Mengbai smiled slightly, and said, "Master Valley Master." Mr. Lan Da was silent for a long while, then shook his head and smiled, "It really is him, it really is him...Okay, little brother, hurry up, see you at Jinshan Temple." Zhan Mengbai responded and left, only to hear Tie Tuo shouting from afar: "If he gets hurt by me, he won't be able to go."

Zhan Mengbai's trip up and down Jishi Mountain was only a few days, but the things he experienced were complicated and ever-changing. As he went down the mountain, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and he thought to himself: "This time I went to Jinshan Temple, I don't know what it will be like, can this completely reveal the secret of the lover's arrow?" In a hurry, I can't wait to step over to Jinshan Temple. But Jinshan Temple is thousands of miles away, the journey is long, and I don't know how long it will take?How many things may happen along the way?

He secretly planned in his heart: "I am a person who has many things to do. If I rush away, even if I don't go to find people and things, I am afraid that others will come to me." After much deliberation, he finally came up with a clever plan: "I might as well hire a big car, sit in the car, close the curtains tightly, and never get out of the car all the way, then I can't see others, and others can see you." If you don’t see me, you can’t see it, and you will be fine.” Satisfied with his thoughts, he walked faster, turned his eyes and looked, he had reached the foot of the mountain, and when he reached the place where he rode his horse when he went up the mountain, his pace involuntarily slowed down.

That horse is indeed a gallant horse, Zhan Mengbai has not forgotten it until now. He lingered for a long while, only to hear the faint neighing of a horse coming from behind the mountain depression. Overjoyed, he flew over and saw a horse bowing its head and chewing grass in the hidden part of the mountain depression. The strange thing is that the horse seemed to remember Zhan Mengbai, so it ran over with a low neighing. It raised its head and raised its hooves. Although it had been in the barren hills for several days, it was still very handsome. Zhan Mengbai was overjoyed, ran over to pat the horse's mane, and said with a smile: "Ma'er, I never thought you were really here waiting for me..."

The horse seemed to be very happy to be praised, and kept rubbing Mengbai's shoulder with its head, showing a very affectionate look. One person and one horse, after lingering for a while, Zhan Mengbai finally flew onto the saddle, patted the horse's mane and said, "Let's go!" The healthy horse hissed long and galloped out. Horses move like dragons, and they are already running across the field in less than a meal. Zhan Mengbai couldn't help frowning and thought: "This horse is here, how can I sit in the carriage, if I ask this horse to pull the carriage, I will never give up."

After much deliberation, he came up with a clever plan: "I might as well send this horse to the bodyguard bureau or horse dealer in the city, ask them to send me to Jinshan Temple, and give them some money..." Thinking of this, he suddenly said to himself: "It's bitter!" He immediately stayed there. It turned out that when he changed his clothes in the Soul Refining Pool, he had already thrown all his burdensome money into the pool, and now he has nothing on him. He would neither steal nor rob, and even if he gave up the idea of ​​hiring a car to send a horse, he would not go hungry all the way to the Jinshan Temple thousands of miles away.

This least problematic problem has become the biggest problem at this moment. He sighed secretly: "I heard that some pawnshops pawn everything. It would be great if they could pawn horses. Otherwise... well, I really can't bear to sell it." Although the horse was understanding, it couldn't guess that the man on the horse was planning to take it as his own. He was running on the field, running more and more happily, and the shadow of the city outline could be vaguely seen. Zhan Mengbai rode his horse into the city, only to see that the town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, rich in people and rich in things, it seems to be a big town, and there are many travelers in the pass on the street.

Although his heart was full of worries and his stomach was already unbearably hungry, his body was still sitting on the horseback with his waist straight. Passers-by on the street saw that he was handsome, heroic, and his crotch was obviously a horse of thousands of miles, so they couldn't help but look at him more, and some people couldn't help secretly admiring him. But Zhan Mengbai couldn't help smiling wryly in the dark: "This street is full of people, who would know that I'm just a hollow boss with no money?" It's lunch time at this moment, and the shops on both sides have all put out dishes and meals, and they eat around the table. Although it is some simple food, it is more than a delicacy in Zhan Mengbai's eyes.

Coupled with the bursts of aroma from restaurants and restaurants, it is even more mouth-watering. Zhan Mengbai couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly when he saw it: "Why do people get hungry faster when they are poorer? I have never been so hungry even if I don't eat for several days." After much deliberation, he decided to pawn the horse for the time being and hire a car to go east, but he was unfamiliar with the place and didn't even know the place name of the city, so he had no choice but to find a few straw signs and put them on the bridle However, he could no longer yell out the word "selling horses". He led the horse for a few turns on the street, and his stomach became more and more hungry. How did others know that he was selling horses, and no one came. Ask about. I saw a restaurant on the east side of the street, the building was very tall, and the business was very prosperous. There were several mangers in front of the restaurant, and more than a dozen horses were chewing grass with their heads bowed. Zhan Mengbai thought to himself: "Even though I've been shouting 'sell horses' all over the street, I haven't found a buyer. It seems that this restaurant is quite grand, and there are always a few people who know the goods when they come in and out." Thinking of this, he led the horse and walked over, the restaurant guy had already come out with a smile, and said in the official Lan Qing's words: "Guest officer, please come in, and the horse will be handed over to the younger one." Zhan Mengbai could only shake his head with a wry smile. The clerk smiled and said: "The guest officer thinks the downstairs is not clean, and there are elegant seats upstairs." Zhan Mengbai's cheeks flushed, and he mumbled, "I'm just here to sell horses." The clerk said "oh", turned around and left, the smile on his face had long since disappeared. Zhan Mengbai sighed secretly, only heard the sound of boxing and laughing in the restaurant, it was very noisy, those dozens of horses with their heads bowed and chewing grass, their saddles and bridles were not removed, some of the saddles still had weapons hanging obliquely, it was obvious that at this moment Those who drink at the top of the building must be high-ranking people passing by, Zhan Mengbai was going to call "sell horses" a few times, but his thoughts changed, he was afraid of meeting acquaintances, he was in a dilemma, and was about to leave. Suddenly there was a sound on the stairs, and someone shouted, "Where is the horse seller?" It turned out that the shopkeeper was greedy for money, and he had already told the story upstairs about someone selling horses downstairs. Zhan Mengbai turned his head to look, and saw two brocade-clad men with wine-stained faces rushing out, but he didn't recognize him, so he decided to stop. The burly man in brocade looked him up and down, and said, "Are you the horse seller?" This man was tall and his voice was like a bell, as if he was an outsider's master. Zhan Mengbai nodded his head humbly, and said, "That's right, I'm next." The other man was thin and tall, but he didn't even look at him, his eyes just looked up and down the horse. After looking at it for a while, Fang Zi said slowly, "That's right, it's a good horse." This person is not only emaciated, but also weak in speech, he seems to be even more hungry than Zhan Mengbai, but his clothes are dressed like a playboy. The big man in brocade clothes laughed, and said: "Brother said it is a good horse, so I think it must be a good horse. Hey, how much money do you want to sell this horse for?" Zhan Mengbai doesn't know how to do business, he just thought secretly: "If the price I offered is too low, they will definitely not let me redeem it..." While thinking about it, he slowly stretched out five fingers. The big man in brocade clothes said: "Fifty..." Suddenly felt that his sleeve was pulled, he kept silent, but the tall man didn't even lift his eyelids, he said slowly: "Five taels, it's fine." Zhan Mengbai was going to bid five hundred taels, seeing his expression, he felt angry, and suddenly said loudly: "No more, no less, one thousand taels." The big man in brocade clothes was startled, and said loudly: "What! How much do you want?" One must know that at that time, the price of goods was low, and five taels of silver could already buy a skinny horse. Zhan Mengbai said: "One thousand taels, it's not sold to you, it's just temporarily bet on you, within three months, I will redeem the silver." The big man in brocade clothes looked at him for a while, shook his head and laughed loudly: "I'm afraid this man is poor and crazy, big brother, ignore him, go upstairs and have a drink!" The slender man stood still and said slowly, "Five taels!" Zhan Mengbai said: "Fifty taels can't even buy a ponytail." The tall tall man suddenly raised his eyelids, and said with a sneer: "If you don't sell it, give it to me." Zhan Mengbai felt that his gaze was surprisingly sharp, his heart trembled secretly, but he laughed loudly and said: "Give it to you, why did you give it to you?" He really didn't want to make trouble anymore, so he was waiting to lead the horse and go. Unexpectedly, the man grabbed the saddle and said with a sneer, "Second brother, you and I are living drinking, but this fellow wants to entertain us, how can you let him go?" The brocade-clothed man pondered for a while, then suddenly said loudly: "That's right, there is no horse for a thousand taels of silver, this fellow is obviously trying to amuse us, stop and don't go." Zhan Mengbai suddenly turned around and said, "What do you want?" The big man in brocade clothes said: "I'll give you fifty taels of silver, and keep the horse." Zhan Mengbai frowned slightly, and slowly stretched out his palm to hold the rein tightly, saying: "If you can pull my palm away and take the rein, this horse will be given to you for free." The burly man in brocade clothes laughed and said: "This guy who dares to love is here to test us, well, don't regret what you say and the water you pour out." Zhan Mengbai said coldly: "What if you can't open it?" The big man in brocade yelled loudly: "If you can't break it, we will kowtow to you in public." Sure enough, he dashed forward, stretched out his giant ghost-like palms, and stretched Mengbai's fists. He has always been famous for his great strength, he thought that this is not easy to catch, but even if he exhausted all his life's strength, it is still difficult to pull Kai Mengbai's finger. People who watched the bustle had already gathered around, seeing the gentle Zhan Mengbai still calm and acting as if nothing had happened, but this big man like a mountain god was already blushing, and they couldn't help laughing in secret, that tall and thin man His face, however, could not help but become pale. Suddenly the big man in brocade yelled sharply: "Go!" He flew up and kicked Zhan Mengbai's chest, but Zhan Mengbai seemed to have expected this move, he swung his left hand and supported his ankle. The big man in brocade clothes opened his eyes wide and hissed, "You...you...I will fight with you." Spreading his hands, he grabbed Xiang Zhan Mengbai head-on. Zhan Mengbai gently lifted his ankle with his palm, and said in a low voice, "Go!" The big man in brocade clothes really couldn't stand firmly, turned over and fell down. Someone nearby couldn't help laughing: "This guy is very obedient." Before the words were finished, the slender man took out a folding fan from his sleeve, spread it in the wind, walked around the horse's belly, and walked slowly in front of Zhan Mengbai. At this moment, someone in the restaurant has looked down, the big man has turned over and jumped up, the tall man looked at Zhan Mengbai coldly, and said: "My friend, you have caused trouble." Zhan Mengbai looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "The thing that Zhan is most afraid of in his life is getting into trouble." The tall tall man sneered and said, "Don't talk big first, do you know who I am?" With a sudden flip of his wrist, he spread the fan in front of Zhan Mengbai. I saw a golden eagle embroidered on the purple silk fan, with protruding eyes and healthy feathers, and a radiant spirit. The embroidery is really lifelike, and it seems that it has some origins. Unexpectedly, Zhan Mengbai didn't like this in his life, he shouted angrily: "Who are you?" Still holding the rein with his right palm, his left palm grabbed the opponent's wrist like lightning. As soon as the palm of the slender man sank, the folding fan had already drawn towards Zhan Mengbai's wrist, and the five fingers of his left palm were pinched, eagerly grabbing the back of Zhan Mengbai's hand. His moves were like the wind, and what he used was the authentic grabbing silk-wrapping hand. Zhan Mengbai's heart skipped a beat: "What a quick catcher!" Feeling angry with the enemy, he threw away the reins, "shocking the sky", and punched out. He only thought that the opponent's martial arts were not weak, so he had already used 70% of his strength in this punch. The slender man stepped forward, wrapped his hands in silk, and then grabbed Mengbai's wrist veins, but although his grasping technique was fast, his internal strength was too far behind. I saw that before the edge of his palm touched the edge of the fist, his body had already been shaken and fell flying. On the contrary, Zhan Mengbai couldn't help being stunned for a while, the big man was about to rush forward again, when he heard a loud shout from the building, three figures fell down like birds. The big man in brocade clothes clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, can you still escape?" Zhan Mengbai saw that these three figures were physically ill, and their lightness kung fu was not weak, so he immediately became alert, protected his chest with both palms, and took three steps back slightly. Unexpectedly, after the three people landed on the ground, they clasped their fists together and saluted him. Zhan Mengbai couldn't help being startled again, staring at it, couldn't help showing his face and smiling: "It turns out that Xian Kunzhong has arrived." It turns out that these three people are the "Laoshan Sanyan" He brothers. The big man in brocade clothes was stunned, and said in a low voice, "You...do you recognize him?" "Chuanyunyan" He Junxiong laughed loudly, "How could you not recognize it?" The slender man's throat was so sweet from the shock, but he still sneered and said: "I never thought that 'Laoshan Sanyan' would recognize the horse dealer." "Chongxiaoyan" He Junjie was not angry, he knew that he was annoyed when he saw that his brother didn't come out to help him, so he smiled slightly and said: "Brother Jin, don't hurt my brother with words, first you have to ask who he is ah!" The big man in brocade clothes said angrily: "Whoever he is, your brother will find my brother out, and you shouldn't watch our brother being bullied by him." "Silver Yan" He Junxia laughed and said, "But this person is very different from others." The man in brocade clothes said: "What's the difference? I don't think he has any eyebrows under his eyes, and he only has one good nose." He Junxia laughed loudly, and said slowly: "This person is Zhan Mengbai." The big man in brocade clothes suddenly said "Oops", took three steps back, and was on the ground blankly, staring at Zhan Mengbai in a daze. The slender man also seemed to be stunned. After a long while, the two of them rushed over in unison, pushed the golden mountain, turned down the jade pillar, turned over and bowed down. On the contrary, Zhan Mengbai panicked, and said in a panic: "You two... What are you two?" Although he stretched out his palm, he didn't know which one to put first. The big man in brocade clothes bowed three times, Fang turned around and jumped up, looked at Zhan Mengbai for a while, shook his head and smiled, "I don't know him, of course I can't blame him." He Junxia laughed and said: "What you say is always difficult for people to understand." The big man in brocade clothes stared at him, and said: "What's so difficult to understand? I only want to be a hero in the world, and the appearance must be very powerful. Who would have known that he would be so gentle?" He Junxia laughed loudly and said, "Could it be that every hero should be born just like you?" He Junxia smiled again and said, "You're fine, why did you miss the Golden Eagle today, and treat the hero of the world as a horse dealer." The slender man smiled shyly, and Zhan Mengbai muttered, "Golden Eagle?" He Junxia smiled and said: "The golden eagle in the north of Hebei, the star in the catch." Zhan Mengbai suddenly smiled and said, "No wonder the name is so familiar. It turns out that your Excellency is the legendary catcher of the era, the golden eagle and the head catcher. I'm sorry." While speaking in his mouth, he couldn't help thinking to himself: "No wonder this person speaks quickly, his eyes are sharp, and his expression is very special. It turns out that he is a famous catcher in the world, and his expression is naturally very different from that of ordinary martial arts heroes. His swiftness Although he is invincible against martial arts masters, but it is more than enough for catching thieves, so he can enjoy a great reputation among the six sects." While thinking about it, Golden Eagle had already put away his folding fan, bowed his head and said with a smile: "What's more, Xiao Ke has already quit the 'six gates', so it's a shame that Zhan Daxia calls him 'capture the head' again." Sha Xiaoke, in fact, Xiao Ke would not have dared to walk around the rivers and lakes if Brother He hadn't insisted on inviting him." Zhan Mengbai smiled and said, "Brother Jin is too modest." He Junxiong said sternly: "Brother Jin's words are indeed not empty words. It is the younger brothers who want to find out the truth about the 'Lover's Arrow'. Fang Zijian invited this generation of famous arresters to come out again." Zhan Mengbai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I've heard for a long time that Brother Jin's eyes are fast, Xiao Xiao, who committed crimes in the north of the Yellow River in the past, has never escaped Brother Jin's eyes." He bowed his head and continued, "It's really a great luck for me to have Brother Jin to help me this time." Golden Eagle hastily returned the gift, but the big man in brocade had already shouted: "You saved my brother's life, so doing something for you is nothing!" Zhan Mengbai was stunned for a while, Da Qi thought: "How have I ever saved their lives?" Jin Ying has already sighed: "Xiao Ke did have too many enemies in the 'Six Doors' back then. Today in Zhangjiakou, if it hadn't been for the hero Zhan to come, Xiao Ke's death would not be a pity, but even my brothers and I have been implicated. It's a pity that Hero Zhan is like a dragon in the sky, coming and going in a flash, even though my brother was rescued by Hero Zhan that day, he never even saw Hero Zhan's face, fortunately we got to see Hero Zhan today, otherwise we will really regret it for the rest of our lives." Zhan Mengbai suddenly thought: "That's right, this must be another chivalrous thing that someone secretly did for me." But for a while, he didn't know how to explain it. I saw a middle-aged man in long gown with a red face, dispersed the crowd watching the excitement, clasped his fists and said: "Everyone, why not go upstairs and talk about Kuo." Although he looks like a fool, but he speaks the language of the Han family very fluently. He Junxiong laughed loudly and said, "I was so happy to see Brother Zhan that I forgot everything else." He also introduced to Zhan Mengbai that the man in the long gown is a local hero and wealthy gentry, "Mengchang outside the border" Fu Zhongping, after Zhan Mengbai heard the name, he knew that this person was quite hospitable, so he became very close to him After hearing the words "Zhanmengbai", Fu Zhongping seemed very pleasantly surprised, and his admiration was beyond words. When everyone went upstairs, they re-arranged the food and wine. Zhan Mengbai couldn't help but ask while chewing: "After leaving Hangzhou, I haven't heard any news for many days. How did you three come here?" He Junxiong sighed: "That day... ah, that day my brother was so angry that he was ashamed and powerless, so he took the seriously injured 'Iron Spear' Yang Cheng and left Hangzhou overnight." Zhan Mengbai thought about the events of that day, and couldn't help but feel grief and indignation in his heart. He slowly put down his chopsticks, unable to hold them up anymore. I only heard He Junxiong continue: "Brother Yang was injured by the palm of the 'unsheathed knife', and the injury was quite serious. After more than ten days, Fang Zi gradually recovered, but his heart was always filled with grief and indignation. "My brother kept persuading him, but he said yes, but his brows were furrowed even tighter, and he was full of books all day long, so my brother couldn't help but secretly grieve for him. "Unexpectedly, one day he suddenly left without saying goodbye, and without leaving any words, he just drew a spear on the table, but the brushwork was strong, but it didn't look like what he drew. "My brother knew that he couldn't find it, so he was really disheartened in the rivers and lakes. He was waiting to go home and live in peace for two years, and he no longer competed with others." Zhan Mengbai couldn't help but secretly sighed and said, "Three Wild Goose in Laoshan Mountain is a newly rising hero, but he already intends to retire. It's no wonder that most of the other famous heroes can't get rid of their hands." He Junxiong continued: "Who would have thought that my brother met Le Chaoyang, the 'Hero of the Great Wall', and Chi Yunsheng, the most famous master among Wudang's rising masters, on the way. "The two of them are in a hurry, their faces are dusty, but they are very excited. Zheng Fang returned from Yandang North, and when he saw me, he asked my brother to do his best for the martial arts, and jointly discover the secret of the 'Lover's Arrow' and track down the culprit. He also said that the two of them have made a lot of achievements in their whereabouts." Zhan Mengbai sighed dejectedly: "I've heard for a long time that 'Wudang Chiyunsheng' is high-spirited, his swordsmanship is like a god, and he is so chivalrous. I only hate him but I can't see him." He Junxiong smiled slightly, and continued: "My third brother was moved by the loyalty of the two of them, and he agreed first, and my brother will not run away. "So Le Daxia asked me to come to the northwest to contact Yinghao. When encountering such investigations and visits, my brother will never forget the god catcher of the golden eagle." He Junjie smiled and said: "Northwest Heroes, my brothers are very unfamiliar with each other, if it wasn't for the help of Brother Jin and Brother Huang, how could we have made friends with so many heroes from outside the border." Jin Yingqian smiled and said: "This is all due to my second brother Huang." The big man in brocade clothes laughed loudly and said, "My merit is my merit, just toast me with a toast." Zhan Mengbai suddenly smiled and said: "When Xiayuan was in the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that there is a golden tiger in the north of Hebei, with a family fortune of millions, who donates money generously. Could it be brother?" The big man in brocade clothes raised his glass and laughed loudly: "My name is Huang Hu, I only hate those meddlesome people, but I want to add the word 'gold' to my name." But Fu Zhongping said with a smile: "Brother Taiwan is already rich in gold, so we should add the word 'gold'." While everyone laughed at each other, He's Kunzhong asked about Zhan Mengbai's whereabouts again. Zhan Mengbai couldn't tell the many thrilling, bizarre and tortuous stories of his own in detail, he only told about the fact that he wanted to change horses and hire carriages. Huang Hu laughed loudly and said, "Isn't this not easy! It's just that Brother Zhan is really weird. He doesn't sit in the horse, but he wants to be bored in the car?" Zhan Mengbai smiled wryly and said: "I really have a reason for doing this..." At that moment, he said that he didn't want to be troublesome and just wanted to get to Jinshan as soon as possible. Huang Hu clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "That's right, there are many injustices in Jianghu, if brother Zhan manages all the way to Jinshan, I'm afraid he won't be there in three years." Jin Ying smiled and said: "This is Brother Fu's land, this matter..." Fu Zhongping quickly said with a smile: "I should take care of this matter." Huang Hu said: "Brother Zhan is going to be bored in the car all the way. In this car, you should decorate it more wonderfully. Don't let Brother Zhan get bored." Fu Zhongping said with a smile: "I'll save this, I wonder when Zhan Daxia will leave?" Zhan Mengbai sighed: "I am impatient, naturally, the sooner the better." Fu Zhongping said with a smile: "That being said, everyone, stay here and go." He hurried downstairs. Zhanmeng realized that there was something on his mind, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help frowning: "I still have a horse, I wonder if Brother He can send someone to Jinshan?" He Junxia smiled and said: "It's easier. My brother's affairs in the northwest have been roughly settled, and he is going to the south of the Yangtze River. Are you afraid that you won't be able to bring back that horse?" Zhan Mengbai stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you in advance." He Junxia smiled and said, "I've never seen Brother Zhan thank you so much, I think Brother Zhan must love this horse very much, I have to be more careful." Huang Hu laughed loudly and said: "In this way, it's up to me to ride. I can't do anything else. Since I was born, I love riding horses. I can't go wrong with horses." While everyone was chatting, laughing and drinking, Fu Zhongping hurried back again, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the chariots and horses are already on the way, and Hero Zhan can leave tomorrow morning." Zhan Mengbai frowned slightly: "Tomorrow morning..." He Junxia smiled and said: "Brother Zhan, why is he fighting for half a day? You and I haven't seen each other for a long time. It's time to drink all night. Brother Zhan will go to sleep in the car tomorrow." Zhan Meng Bailang smiled and said: "I haven't had a drink for many days... But tomorrow morning, if I am already very drunk, everyone should send my younger brother to the car." He Junxia said with a smile: "I'm afraid my younger brother would have been drunk by then." Fu Zhongping said: "Everyone, don't worry, there will always be someone to send Zhan Hero to the car." These high-spirited young heroes gathered together happily at this moment, and they drank to their heart's content, until the glass was dry, I don't know how much they drank? The wine helper became more passionate, but he left an affair with Tongde City, and many years later, some people still gambled on this matter, betting whether the six of them really drank fourteen altars of aged wine in half a day. The morning mist is miserable. A half-worn cart with a black roof broke through the morning fog and rushed out of Tongde City. The man in the blue cloth jacket who was driving the chariot had his eyes half closed, his beard and hair were all white, but he was extremely proficient in driving the chariot and horse, as if he could drive the chariot and horse safely even when he was asleep. In fact, he really lived in this driving seat for most of his life, holding the reins in his hand, just as proficiently as Mr. Lan Da holding a hammer. As for this cart with black roof, although it looks old in appearance, the furnishing inside the roof can be said to be rare in Jianghu, rare in this world. After driving for nearly six hours, Zhan Meng Bai Fang in the car woke up leisurely. He only felt parched and had a splitting headache, and he couldn't even open his eyes for a moment. He only remembered the last "cup" last night, as if he drank it from a copper basin. But at this moment when he heard the sound of the rumbling car, he felt very relieved, knowing that he had boarded the car, Fang Zi couldn't help but laugh, and suddenly felt his lips cool down, and a burst of fragrance came from his nose. He couldn't help being startled again, and opened his eyes, only to find a beautiful young girl's face looking at him with a foolish smile. Zhan Mengbai turned his gaze and saw only this young girl lying opposite him in the carriage. The shock was even more serious. He struggled to sit up and said, "Girl...how are you here?" The girl was dressed in light red, holding a jasper teacup in her hand, but she didn't answer his words, she just smiled coquettishly and said: "My husband just woke up from drunkenness, please drink a cup of tea to sober up." Zhan Mengbai regained his composure, looked around, and saw that the carriage was covered with thick brocade quilts, just like the embroidered bed in a woman's boudoir.Next to the desk is a small dressing table, and next to the dressing table is a green gauze cupboard, then there is a thermos pot, a stack of new clothes, a chessboard, a stringed harp, three vermilion wine gourds, and A small landscape painting, hanging among bamboo baskets and gourds. Looking around, the carriage is really dazzling, there is no half gap. Zhanmengbai didn't look at it, it was even more shocking, surprising, and grateful. Unexpectedly, Huang Hu's words made Fu Zhongping spend so much effort. Turning his gaze, he suddenly found that there was still a letter card pressed on the dressing table. He took it out and saw that it was written in small letters with fine brushwork: "Worship the red incense chariot, and talk about the loneliness of Zhan Hero's journey." The signature below is naturally: "Tongde Fu Zhongping pays homage." After reading this inscription, Zhan Mengzi suddenly realized, he couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly and said: "It turns out that this woman also came here to 'relieve my loneliness'." He didn't know whether he was angry or funny, he pondered for a while, and didn't know how to send the girl back, so he clasped his fists and sighed: "Miss..." The young girl had been staring at him bewilderedly, now she pursed her lips and smiled, lowering her head and said: "The concubine's nickname is Ping'er, my husband can just call me Ping'er." Zhan Mengbai smiled wryly and said: "Ping... Miss Ping'er..." He really had nothing to say, and suddenly turned around and shouted: "Driver, can you please stop?" Sure enough, the car slowed down a bit, but it didn't stop. The old man poked his head out of the window and said, "What...what's the matter?" Zhan Mengbai said: "This girl..." The old man driving the car pointed to his ears and shook his head, indicating that he couldn't hear clearly, so Zhan Mengbai could only say loudly: "This girl." Unexpectedly, the old man shook his hand again, and said: "Master Fu...Master Fu ordered... Order, old man...just... just drive the car, don't care about anything else." Before he finished speaking, he retracted his head. Zhan Mengbai couldn't laugh or cry, seeing the old man stuttering and half-deaf, knowing that he couldn't explain clearly, he couldn't help being stunned. But Ping'er brought the tea with her slender hands dyed the color of roses, Zhan Mengbai had no choice but to take it, Ping'er said: "My husband wakes up when he's drunk, how about Ping'er loosen his bones for him?" Zhan Mengbai said: "No need." Ping'er rolled her bright eyes, and then smiled softly: "As the saying goes, drinking wine is the best way to sober up, may my husband ask Ping'er to pour a glass of wine?" Zhan Mengbai said: "No need." Ping'er tilted her pink neck, her eyes rolled around, and said with a smile: "Sister, do you want Ping'er to play music for him, or do you want Pinger to play chess with him?" Zhan Mengbai said: "No need! No need!" Ping'er frowned slightly, a rouge-like red mist suddenly appeared on her face, she lowered her head and said: "Msg. Do you want... Do you want..." Gritting her teeth, she remained silent. Zhan Mengbai hurriedly said loudly: "No need! No need!" Ping'er suddenly raised her head, frowned, and said quietly: "My husband doesn't want anything, what do you want Ping'er to do for him?" Before Zhan Mengbai could answer, he saw that tears were streaming from her eyes, and she shrugged her shoulders, as if she was very sad in her heart, she couldn't help but wondered: "Why are you crying?" Ping'er sobbed, "Why doesn't Mr. Xiang want Ping'er to wait on you?" Zhan Mengbai smiled wryly, "Why do you want to serve me?" Ping'er bowed her head and said: "Women are born to serve men, if my husband doesn't want Ping'er to serve him, Ping'er will naturally feel very uncomfortable." Zhan Mengbai was stunned for a moment when he heard such remarks, Fang Zi sighed bitterly: "Miss Ping'er, you...you should go back!" Ping'er was shocked, and suddenly burst into tears, Zhan Mengbai was at a loss when he met the crying girl, and he didn't know how to persuade her? I saw her crying for a while, then sobbing, "Does my husband think Ping'er is ugly?" Zhan Mengbai smiled wryly and said, "How can you be ugly." Ping'er said: "Sister-in-law thinks that Ping'er's body is unclean. Although Ping'er was born in... there, her body is still clean to this day!" Before he finished speaking, his face turned red again. Zhan Mengbai was stunned again, pondered for a long time, Fang Zi said seriously: "That's it, you are clean, why don't you go back clean, you will meet a close person someday, so you can get married. As husband and wife, this is good for you and me." At this point, although he had finished the words he had thought up, he felt that what he said was righteous and reasonable, and Ping'er had no reason not to listen. Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Ping'er cried even more sadly, turned over and fell on the brocade mattress, crying bitterly: "No, no, I will not leave even if I die." Zhan Mengbai was stunned for a while, then slowly said: "If you don't leave, I will be the only one to leave." Ping'er suddenly turned over and sat up, stared at Zhan Mengbai with wide eyes, and said loudly: "If Xianggong leaves, Ping'er will die here immediately." Zhan Mengbai was surprised and annoyed at the same time, and said in a loud voice: "I have never met you before, and I just met today. We are neither old friends nor emotional. Why do you want to follow me?" Ping'er said: "Master Fu spent money to buy Ping'er, in order to make Ping'er follow and serve Xianggong all his life." Zhan Mengbai said: "But... but... I can't do it if I don't want it? From today, you are free. This is a gratifying thing to congratulate. Let me congratulate you first." He tried his best to say it, but Ping'er didn't listen to him at all, and instead burst into tears, saying: "If I leave, will I have the face to face people in the future?" Zhan Mengbai said: "Why do you have no face to see others? You have given up your freedom and behaved properly. Those friends of yours in the past should all have no face to see you." Ping'er shook her head and said, "Master, you are wrong." Zhan Mengbai couldn't help but said angrily: "Obviously you are wrong, how could it be me?" Ping'er wept and said: "If other people know that my husband drove me away, they will laugh at me to death. I only... only die in front of my husband at this moment." Zhan Mengbai said in shock: "How can you die here?" Ping'er broke through her tears and smiled, and said: "My husband couldn't bear to teach Ping'er to die, so Ping'er stayed here." Picking up Zhan Mengbai's teacup, he turned around and poured tea again. Zhan Mengbai stood there in a daze, secretly complaining: "The thoughts of these fireworks girls really make ordinary people laugh and cry. If I knew this, I would rather leave hungry." Although he was able to roam the rivers and lakes, he was helpless at the moment, he sat there for a while, then sighed to himself: "Since you don't want to go back, I will take you to Zhenjiang." Ping'er nodded and said, "Okay." Zhan Mengbai said with a sullen face, "But when you arrive in Zhenjiang, you have to leave by yourself." Ping'er said: "Good!" Zhan Mengbai said: "Don't just say it with your mouth, you have to hear it clearly." Ping'er smiled and said: "As long as Mr. Xiang teaches Ping'er to stay, everything will be fine." Zhan Mengbai sighed helplessly, and suddenly heard the old man driving the car giggling outside, Zhan Mengbai was angry and funny. He only thought that the old man was really half-deaf, but he didn't know that the old man's ears were very sharp. But this old man, who is old and mature, is driving the car, but he really has decades of experience, and the car and horses almost never stop along the way. Just because he can also recover from fatigue when he is sitting and driving, this kind of kung fu accumulated over decades of experience is indeed very human. There are fine wines, cured meat, and hard noodles that never change. Passing through the town, the old man even got out of the car to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables, but the car never stopped in the town, let alone opened a shop. Zhan Mengbai also gritted his teeth, never getting out of the car until late at night or in the wilderness. In the car, Ping'er was very obedient, talking and laughing, although Zhan Mengbai was not too chaotic, but he also enjoyed tenderness during this journey. Although sometimes he heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves outside the car, and the sound of the sword box hitting the saddle, he couldn't help secretly guessing, who is this knight passing by? Sometimes he drank two cups of stuffy wine and suddenly felt that his chest was full of depression and he had nothing to vent. He wished he could jump out and find two injustices in the world to vent out. But he finally held back. He just sits quietly and exercises, reads poems and books lying down, sometimes listens to Pinger's clear play, sometimes plays a game of chess with Pinger, and sometimes chats with the old man through the window. 他渐渐发觉，这老儿见闻的渊博，也渐渐发觉了萍儿的天真，他再也想不到这竟是如此一段奇异的行程。 但这段多彩多姿的奇异行程，却终于结束了。 车到镇江。 展梦白精神大振，热血奔腾，萍儿垂下了头，道：“相公已到了么？” 展梦白含笑点头。 萍儿道：“相公要将萍儿安置在哪里？” 展梦白一呆，道：“我……我不是早已与你说好了么？” 萍儿轻轻点了点头，垂首道：“那么，萍儿就此走了。”擦了擦眼泪，又道：“萍儿的衣服，也可带走么？” 展梦白道：“还有橱里的银子。” 萍儿又点了点头，一面拭泪，一面收拾，那老头子也在外面长吁短叹，又道：“萍儿姑娘，快些收拾吧，反正要走的，还不如快走的好，你在这里虽然人地生疏，却也未见会饿死的。” 展梦白只作没有听到，也不去看她，却喃喃叹道：“我辈江湖中人，生死连自己都难预料，实在无法照顾别人。” 萍儿流着泪道：“萍儿知道。” 那老头子又道：“萍儿姑娘，你听见没有，展公子虽是个大侠客，也无法照顾你的，还是快些收拾快些走吧！” 他此刻说话流流利利，一点也不结巴了。 展梦白还是似乎没有听到……其实他却听得清清楚楚，只听得萍儿在轻轻地哭。 又听得那老头子道：“萍儿姑娘，还哭什么，世上孤苦伶仃的女孩子，又不止你一个，展公子怎能全都照应到。” 萍儿道：“萍儿没有哭……”抽抽泣泣，擦了擦鼻子，打了个小小的包袱，轻轻道：“相公，萍儿走了。” 展梦白眼看着篮子，道：“多多珍重了。” 萍儿轻轻点了点头，缓缓移动着身子，悄悄地拭泪，轻轻地道：“萍儿自己会想法子活下去的，相公莫要挂念……” 展梦白突然大喝一声：“慢走！”霍然转过身子。 萍儿颤声道：“相……公，你……” 展梦白干“咳”一声，道：“你若受得住苦，便可到我家去，我家还有几亩薄田，足可养你……” 他话未说完，萍儿已抛了包袱，轻呼着扑到他身上，双肩耸动，也不知究竟是哭是笑？ 展梦白也只觉双目发红，喉头发痒，却听那老头子在外哈哈笑道：“我早知展公子不是硬心人，不会抛下你的。” 笑声虽是得意，但却有些酸酸的哽咽味道。 展梦白笑骂道：“你莫得意，要罚你送她到杭州。” 那老头子笑道：“我这老头子，反正也不想赶车了，又是孤寡一个，送萍儿姑娘去了，也在公子家吃碗闲饭吧！” 展梦白自然应了，说了住处地址，交待了言语，便道：“你们去吧，我就在此下车，寻船渡江了。” 萍儿已将他那柄黑铁古剑擦得干干净净，套进了富仲平为他准备的一只绿鲨鱼皮，镶着朱宝的华丽剑鞘。 展梦白佩起了剑，忍不住轻轻抚了抚她的头发，黯然叹道：“我此番一去，只怕再也……”突地掀开车帘，一跃下车，生怕儿女情长，令得英雄气短。 只听得萍儿颤声道：“相公，多……多保重了。” 展梦白急奔了一程，才敢回头。 只见车马还停在那里，萍儿还在向帘外凝睇。 于是他再次回身，再次急奔，心中又酸又甜又苦，也不知是何滋味，惟有暗叹忖道：“好没来由，我怎的又惹起这场情债，却又叫我如何了断？” 古往今来英雄，又有几人不为情苦？ 金山，孤立江天水云间，依然如故。 金山寺，大雄宝殿中，香云缭绕，新接“金山寺”方丈之位的铁骨大师，合掌肃立在缭绕的香云里。 神机大师，身着灰白僧衫，足踏多耳麻鞋，掌中拄着根九银禅杖，竟似乎有远行的模样。 大殿中除了他两人外，只有个小沙弥恭立在身侧，手托木盘，盘上放的是一只黄布包袱，随着铁骨、神机两人，在神案前拜了三拜。 四下一片静寂，只有宽大的僧袍，擦在蒲团上，沙沙作响，使这庄严的佛殿，气氛更见沉重。 突听三声钟鸣，划破了沉重的静寂。 钟声余韵中，铁骨大师缓缓立起，肃然上香，口中喃喃默祷：“望我佛慈悲，助弟子等寻回本寺之宝。” 然后，他缓缓转身，将那黄布包袱，双手捧到神机大师面前，缓缓道：“师弟此去，要多珍重了。” 神机大师双手接过包袱，肃然无语。 突见一个少年僧人飞步而来，合十躬身道：“启禀师傅师叔，寺门外有位檀越相公求见。” 铁骨大师面色一沉，道：“为师早已吩咐过你，今日金山寺庙门不开，你难道不会对那位相公说么？” 少年僧人躬身道：“弟子已说过了，只是……” 语声未了，只听他身后已有人接口道：“只是在下自己会越墙而入。”身形一闪，自少年僧人身后跃上石阶。 铁骨、神机，面色齐变，转目望去，齐地脱口道：“原来是展相公。” 这越墙而入的人，正是心急如火的展梦白。
