Chapter 27 Chapter Twenty-Seven

Ruan Wei ran down the ice desert and came to the place where the horse was abandoned. With his deep internal energy, he let out a long howl, which spread for several miles. "White Hoof Island" was looking for grass and food nearby, heard the howl, and ran quickly. Ruan Wei happily patted the horse's neck, and was about to get on the horse to follow Wen Yi's trail, when he suddenly saw a figure chasing after him, and it turned out to be Tiger Monk. Ruan Wei wrote on the air: "Senior, what do you want to order?" The tiger monk took out a yellow book, looked at it carefully, it turned out to be made of white paper, presumably it has turned into a withered yellow color due to the passage of time.

The tiger monk knelt down and wrote on the ground "This is Kesana's translation. He intended to give it to a Han Chinese. You are the best candidate. Accept it." Ruan Wei took it respectfully, he didn't know how valuable this ancient scripture was, so he stuffed it in his bosom casually. Tiger Monk wrote: "Don't underestimate this ancient scripture, you must keep it carefully, and don't lose it. If bad people get it, the world will be in chaos." Ruan Wei wrote: "Juniors must keep it carefully!" Tiger Monk continued: "Senior brother said that this ancient scripture is a national treasure of Tianzhu and cannot be passed on to foreign countries, but I don't think so. If you get it, you should concentrate on practicing it when you have time. This scripture is very profound. You should understand it carefully and don't let it down!"

Ruan Wei nodded. The tiger monk patted him on the shoulder and told him to leave. Ruan Wei reluctantly rode on the "White-hoofed Crow". On the ordinary face of the tiger monk, there were deep emotions, watching him and watching him gallop slowly. Ruan Wei looked back frequently, although the horse galloped slowly, it was still able to go far. It was not until the tiger monk's upright figure could no longer be seen that the horse galloped fast. Half a month later, Ruan Wei searched all over Tibet, but Wen Yi was nowhere to be found. Li Youkan let him meet him once in Lhasa, but he escaped after only a quick glance. Tank this guy.

Half a month later, it was already a good time in March, Ruan Wei sold his fur coat and changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes. He was so disheartened that he didn't even want to wear the white clothes he loved so much. He didn't bother to take care of that "White-hoofed Crow", its shiny white body was almost becoming the same color as the black on its four hooves. At this time, he thought that Wen Yi could not be found in Tibet, so she must have never chased after Li Youcan and returned to the Central Plains, and now he had to go to the Central Plains to try his luck.

The Central Plains has a vast territory, and it is like finding a needle in a haystack if you want to find someone in a densely populated place. It is extremely difficult, but he holds great hope and secretly said: Even if you can't find it, just go to Ruicheng Mansion on the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. , will see her. Because the Mid-Autumn Festival in August happened to be a one-year appointment, Wen Yi had promised to go to Ruicheng Mansion to meet the God of Dragon Palm, Qi, to end the unresolved entanglement. Luoyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River. It is a famous city in all dynasties. The palace was built in Luoyang in the Sui Dynasty. Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once sang with emotion:

"The Sui family stayed in the palace and burned He Taipin." I want to see how prosperous Luoyang was back then. Although the current dynasty has not established its capital here, its crown is as prosperous as Kyoto. The most prosperous industry in Luoyang due to its prosperity is bodyguards. When it comes to bodyguards, it is inseparable from martial arts figures. From the north to the south, from both sides of the Yellow River, as long as they are slightly famous people, they will all vote in Luoyang and contribute to the bodyguards. The life of licking blood with the knife head.

There are more than 40 bodyguard firms in Luoyang, large and small, the most prestigious of which is the North-South Bodyguard Bureau presided over by "Wuyingjian" Ouyang Zhixian. The prestige of the North and South Escorts is well known throughout the country, and all the darts received by the North and South Escorts have never heard of missing ones. All well-known escorts want to join the North and South Escorts, where not only are they given a lot of bonuses every year, but they are also very respected outside. But it's not easy to join the North and South Escorts. "Wuying Sword" Ouyang Zhixian's selection criteria for escorts is very strict. Will have a few hard skills.

Ruan Wei wandered to Luoyang, inquired about the situation there, secretly said: "It's better to join the bodyguard industry. The bodyguard industry has a wide range of eyes and ears. Maybe you can find Wen Yi." The name of the North-South Escort Bureau means that they can travel from south to north, and can go to all parts of the country. As long as it is a heavy dart, don't talk about the place first, and dare to pick up the dart. If Ruan Wei wanted to rely on the eyes and ears of the security guards, of course he went to the North and South Security Guards, he traveled to many places, no matter if he was looking for revenge or someone, it would be of great help to him.

One day later, he led the "hundred hoof crow" that hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and walked to the North and South Escort Bureau. The imposing manner of the entrance of the escort agency is astonishing, but seeing that it covers an area of ​​tens of feet, there are dozens of horses tied to the two rows of stone railings in front of the gate, and the thick black gate is open on both sides, with a person tall The giant horizontal plaque, the big book: "North and South Escorts". Dozens of mounts could be imagined to be escorts' favorite horses. They were bred to be fat and hairy. Ruan Wei's "White-hoofed Crow" was brought there and tied to the stone railing. "Bird" is thin and jet-black.

When those ordinary horses saw the ground, they yelled "hissing", presumably in disdain to fight with the ground, and the two horses beside them lifted their hind legs and kicked the ground. "White-hoofed crow" is not an idle horse, it jumped up, dodged the attack, before the four hooves touched the ground, it flew back and forth in the air, and hit the two horses that were attacking the ground. The two ordinary horses were neighed sharply by the ground, it must have been serious, "White Hoofed Crow" raised its head and neighed long and loudly, its sound was actually louder than the two ordinary horses.

When the horses heard the long neighing from the ground, they all bowed their heads in fright. The two horses that had been kicked were even more frightened and jumped up and down, standing restlessly. At this time, two healthy servants ran out of the door and shouted: "Who dares to steal the horses!" Ruan Wei stepped forward and said, "The horse below accidentally went to the next two horses." The servant Jian was startled and said, "Are you injured?" Ruan Wei smiled and said, "No way!" The two healthy servants were worried, and stepped forward to inspect, only to see the mounts of Zhang and Wang, two bodyguards, standing as far as possible to the two sides, leaving a dirty and thin white horse standing in the center with its head held high. The health servants looked at each other, and each saw a bruise on the horse's belly, which was severely kicked. The two of them did not underestimate Ruan Wei's attire, and said calmly: "May I ask what you are doing here?" Ruan Wei said, "I'm looking for a job." A healthy servant said: "That's just right, you can apologize to Zhang and Wang later!" Ruan Wei said: "It's time to make an apology, but I don't know who Zhang and Wang are in charge of the two escorts!" The healthy servant said: "I'll take you in." Walking into the gate, there are escort carts lined up inside. When you go to the back, you can see a building with a front hall and a horizontal plaque on the hall, which reads: "Martial Arts Hall". In the hall, many escorts dressed as martial arts students were standing or sitting, talking and laughing loudly. The healthy servant whispered a few words to an old servant on the counter. The old servant walked in, and a wealthy guest with drooping eyebrows and beard came out after a while, and the old servant followed behind. The healthy servant hurried up to meet him, respectfully said: "Uncle Ding, this is the man who is looking for a job." Everyone in the hall stopped talking and looked towards Uncle Ding. Uncle Ding clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Ding Ziguang is in charge of the North and South Escort Bureau." Ruan Wei replied: "My surname is Ruan Dan and my name is Wei." As soon as the guards heard that it was someone with no background, they paid no attention and resumed talking and laughing with each other, but their voices were much quieter, obviously because of the manager's presence. Ding Ziguang said: "It's Brother Ruan, I've admired you for a long time, may I ask what skills you have?" Ruan Wei smiled and said, "My little brother has a little bit of strength in his arms!" When Ding Ziguang heard that he was a hard-working man, he didn't care, and said with a smile: "You go over there and try it. We must be able to lift a stone lock of 180 catties here to be qualified to be a tripper." Ruan Wei didn't think he was disobedient, and said humbly: "Try it, little brother." Walking to the stone lock, there are five stone locks side by side, ranging from small to large, and the largest one is more than five times larger than the smallest stone lock. Ding Ziguang pointed to the smallest stone lock and said: "Look at it." None of the escorts turned around to look, because any job seeker lifts the stone first, no matter how strong he is, at most he will be the smallest escort, which is not worth their attention. Ruan Wei didn't exhale, didn't squat down, held the handle of the stone lock, and lifted the one hundred and eighty-jin stone lock effortlessly. Ding Ziguang smiled and said: "You have good strength. There are five stone locks here. You can lift the one you can hold." Ruan Wei got angry and said loudly: "Little brother, try the second stone lock!" All the bodyguards were shocked when they heard the words, they couldn't help but all turned around. Ding Ziguang said seriously: "That stone lock weighs seven hundred and twenty catties!" Ruan Wei smiled and said, "My little brother is confident that he can lift it up." All the guards didn't believe it in their hearts, and said secretly: "He is so young and his body is not very strong, it is impossible to lift it." But seeing that Ruan Wei still didn't squat down, nor did he exhale and inhale, he held the stone handle with both hands, slowly lifted the stone lock above his head inch by inch, and then put it down gently. Ding Ziguang said solemnly: "Can you lift the first stone lock?" All the guards were watching Ruan Wei to see how he would answer!Because of this first stone lock, only a few top escorts from the North and South Escorts can lift it. If he can lift it, he will be stronger than most of the escorts in the hall. Ruan Wei didn't want to show off too much, so he shook his head and didn't speak. Ding Ziguang thought he couldn't lift it up, so he said politely: "How good are your fists and feet!" Ruan Wei shook his head, Ding Ziguang said again: "How is your sword skill?" Ruan Wei still shook his head, Ding Ziguang sighed secretly: "It's a pity that such a good talent has only the strength of two arms!" At that moment, he greeted the old servant and said: "Take him to the foreman of the 20th trip." When the guards heard this, although this kid was strong, he could only be a foreman, which was a much lower position than the others. Everyone immediately resumed talking and laughing loudly, and no longer took Ruan Wei seriously. Ruan Wei didn't care about this matter, and followed behind the old servant, wanting to leave. Suddenly heard two violent shouts: "Stop, boy!" Among the guards came two fat men with thick brows, one of them said in a low voice, "How did this kid offend Zhang, Wang!" A fat man surnamed Zhang stepped forward and said, "Your horse hurt the mount of the two brothers!" Ruan Wei was displeased when he heard him call him kid, "That's right!" The burly man surnamed Wang yelled, "If you don't apologize, forget it?"
