Chapter 1213 Smoldering ([-])
From the mouths of several gangster spies, I inquired about the distribution of some gangsters on Xianxia Road, and carefully studied the nearby maps at the pass. For Ning Ji, although he did not go through the main road, he did not encounter too many obstacles Instead, it was the place where a few bandits set up their traps. The two of them sneaked around the difficult mountain and saw the bandit village from a distance. Jun followed to peek around, and sometimes You Ningji went over and knocked down the other party, and even found a few copper coins that the bandit carried with him.
Although the progress is slow, it can be regarded as carefree.Although Qu Longjun was delicate in the past, he has experienced a year of training since he left the Southwest. At this time, he was finely trained by a survival master like Ning Ji in the mountains. He walks and climbs every day, and his skills and temperament have become sharp. Get fit and feel more healthy.
From Xianxiaguan to Jianou, the big city in the mountains, the mountain road is about 23 miles, but the two of them are not in a hurry, they walk and visit along the way, until March [-], they approach the vicinity of Pucheng on the way.The two of them were not in a hurry to go to the county town this day, and they were still camping in the mountains at night, while Ning Ji was enthusiastically planning to go to the county town tomorrow to "ship" and then sell some for "scouring" along the way. baby.
After midnight that night, there was a faint movement in the mountains.
Ning Ji learned the method of scouting in the army. At night, he put a weapon under his head and waited for the attack. Therefore, when the slight sound came from the ground, he had already woken up. After listening for a while, he got up and reached out to push The sleeping Qu Longjun.
With the steel knife on his back, he opened the tent and went out. The small sounds in the night were coming towards this side, and then he saw two figures supporting each other and rushing out of the forest in front of him.
The stars were bright under the night sky, and one of the two figures might have been wounded, probably running for his life with a weapon in his hand, when he suddenly saw the tent and the figure on the grassy slope here, they were all shocked.Ning Ji had a pair of knives stuck in his back, and he stood there like an abyss. His eyes were calm and he looked very unfavorable. The two sides looked at each other for a while, and there was a voice from behind. Ning Ji slightly raised his hand and looked towards the mountain One side dialed, indicating that he didn't want to cause trouble, and let the two pass.
The two people bypassed the tent and ran to the side to escape.
After the two figures disappeared from sight, Ning Ji returned to the tent. Qu Longjun had already sat up on his knees and raised his sword: "What's wrong?"
"It's strange. It looks like a gentleman in a yamen. He was hunted down at night... What do the officers and soldiers in Fujian do?"
"Could it be a bad guy?"
"Who knows... But those chasing after him are more like mobs..." He raised a finger when he said this, "Shh, here we come."
While speaking, another person rushed out of the woods, and only one person said: "Fourth brother, there are people here!"
"Hey, there's still a horse."
"Search! Search—"
"come out--"
Excited, bloody shouts rang out, and under the moonlight, several figures quickly surrounded the tent, slightly approaching, Ning Ji opened the curtain and stepped out, saying: "Evening Yes, what's the noise!"
Seeing someone striding out of the tent, the words were not very polite. A middle-aged man with a long knife walking in front of the front slowed down slightly. He looked at the long knife behind the figure, and just cupped his hands and said loudly: " Patriarch Bodhidharma is mighty."
This man was tall and rough, and blood was already seen on the long knife. He looked like a Jianghu fan who licked blood from the edge of the knife. During this incision, he did not stop at his feet, and looked at the other party and the surroundings. While walking straight up: "The yellow dog was killed at night, and the flood rushed to the Dragon King Temple, but brother Likou, shake a vine!"
While he was talking, the other hand was still beckoning his companions to search around. Some people looked around, some kicked up the grass and trees on the ground, and some ran towards the Zaohua horse. Qu Longjun had also stood behind the curtain at this time. He said in his mouth: "He wants to answer..." She has also learned some of these Jianghu incisions in "White Rakshasa" and is waiting for a response.
Ning Ji had already kicked the middle-aged man in the chest who came like a gangster, and sent him flying with a bang.
In the night, the figure who was walking just now changed direction in an instant, was kicked flying several feet, and then turned into a rolling gourd, rushing up the grass stems all over the sky.
Everyone was slightly taken aback, Ning Ji's figure rushed forward, and a sense of oppression roared in. A minion who was following the middle-aged man only saw the figure of the other person striding forward, and then was punched in the face with a backhand , the whole person rushed out.In the past, the minion who was walking was about to stretch out his hand to lead the horse. At this time, his eyes widened and he raised his steel knife, and the approaching image in the darkness picked up a piece of wood on the ground with his backhand, and hit it like a head covering his face. With the sound of bang bang bang, sawdust flying in the night, the man was smashed with a steel knife, bent his arm, and then the whole person was smashed into a rolling gourd, and kicked again.
Two more people rushed over from the side, one was knocked over with a backhand punch, the other was glanced at, and hurriedly retreated with a knife.
Under the starlight, the conflict lasted only for a moment, but the rushing figure, the power of punches and kicks was breathtaking, he turned his head, and walked towards the middle-aged Jiang Hu who had initially reported the incision with majestic momentum. Getting up from the ground, looking up, he was kicked away by another rough kick.
"I said it! It's late at night, disturbing people's dreams, and even told me to cut him! He also reads poems! Are you polite? What are you and what are you? If you don't go to heaven, there is no limit to learning. Make a boat, you guys! What the hell are you reciting poems..."
Cursing and swearing in his mouth, he turned around and walked up to the person who had retreated with the knife before, and stretched out his hand to slap the other person before walking back.This man seemed to be a desperado in the Jianghu, his eyes flickered for a while, his eyes changed, he gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to make a move, only after a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Scholar, scholar... a scholar can be killed but not humiliated... "Before he finished speaking, Ning Ji turned his head, punched him to the ground with a bang, and then kicked him vigorously.
On the grassy slope under the night, the man bent and rolled, then curled up into a ball, and the sound of kicking and beating was heard in the night wind.
The sound of beating continued for a while, and Ning Ji just stopped when two more pursuers came out of the woods.The two swords behind him were not out, and the five people who chased here at the beginning were all wounded. At this moment, he just sat down on a rock with his hands on his knees.
"If you still dare to search my place and lead my horse... if it belongs to you, then dare to reach out! Okay, let's talk, who is it? What are you doing? What have you done? If you agree, you can go, but if you don't, I'm just burying you... impolite bastards!"
A total of seven people appeared outside the forest at this time. Except for two people who were not beaten, the rest were slightly or seriously injured. The middle-aged man who had been aggressive before had stood up with the help of his companion. Time didn't know what expression to make, but then he finally gritted his teeth and handed over his hands, and spoke softly.
"I...we are righteous men who sworn righteousness spontaneously...I, I am Wuniu Village, Meng Piao, who pushes the mountain knife, tonight...tonight, my brothers are here to kill the yellow dog. ... I, I have followed the rules and said hello, ex, senior... brother, this, this is inevitable..."
This Meng Piao looked at the man sitting in front of him with a big horse and a golden sword. He was obviously strong in martial arts and had a bad temper, which made it difficult for him to choose his words. He said "this is inevitable", which was already the ultimate complaint and grievance.While the other party was staring at him, he opened his mouth at this moment, revealing his sharp teeth.
"Abiding by the rules? Saying hello? Because of the large number of you, you walked over while talking, and let your brother lead my horse. Is this called abiding by the rules? Do you know that it is very difficult for you to approach me like this before saying hello?" It’s easy to make misunderstandings—you can die easily! Who is your boss? Who are your parents? Have you taught you well!”
The other party's words were really domineering, and Meng Piao and the others also realized at this time that they had a psychological advantage because of the large number of people, and they might have killed someone before, so they approached aggressively while greeting each other, but they did not expect the other party to be more vicious, and His temper became even more irritable, and he immediately moved his hands.
In the green forest, although there have been some "rules" over the years, human food is the original sin. If the other party is completely arrogant and unreasonable, he will have to regain face after being beaten and killed, but since there is such a reason, then it can After stepping down, Meng Piao cupped his hands: "This... this is indeed our fault, but this, this brother, I am waiting to kill the yellow dog tonight because of righteousness, and I just chased and killed two yellow dogs. Up to this point, the dog is anxious, so he did something offensive, and I hope that my brother... I also hope that you two will forgive me."
While speaking, Qu Longjun carried the sword on his back, and appeared at a higher place. The moonlight shone on him, and he saw the long robes and cold eyes, which immediately set off a more intimidating demeanor of a master.
"Killing the yellow dog...it's justifiable." Sitting on the rock below, Ning Ji made an expression that I understood, and then said, "You know you're wrong, you can go."
Qu Longjun above also spoke: "What are the origins of these yellow dogs?"
Meng Piao cupped his hands and said: "It's...it's a tax collector and his entourage. We, we have killed this cruel official, and we are chasing after a few government servants who help the evildoers."
"Yes." Qu Longjun nodded, "That should be killed."
Ning Ji also nodded along: "That's it, then you go, I forgive you for the offense tonight."
Meng Piao and the others looked at each other, although they felt aggrieved, but they didn't know whether they should speak next or what to say.After hesitating for a while, a man next to Meng Biao came forward.
"It's really wrong for me to offend tonight, but since the two brothers also agree with the righteous act of killing the yellow dog, they must be fellows who understand righteousness in the green forest. Brother, have you seen..."
He mustered up the courage to say this, Ning Ji's gaze in front of him sank, the atmosphere on the grass slope became colder, and he wondered if this grumpy master was going to hit someone again because of his question.After being so quiet for a while, he heard the other party say: "When we walk in the rivers and lakes, we will naturally be at odds with the imperial court eagles and dogs. You have chased the wrong place, go to other places to find it."
Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief, and those who had just spoken cupped their hands together: "I, and... I don't know, I don't know what the names of the two are, where is the fairyland..." Ning Ji stared at him coldly, and then said hastily: "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, I, I and others have no other intentions, but I know someone who is good today, so I can tell them when I go back, and I will meet again in the mountains and rivers, so that there will be no more misunderstandings."
"I'm not afraid of being misunderstood." Ning Ji sneered, paused, and said, "It's okay to tell you, Grandpa, I will change my name or surname. But you have to remember it clearly... As for my brother, his surname is Long and his name is Aotian, he is also the famous "Martial Arts Leader" Long Aotian. Do you remember!?"
What he said was domineering, and everyone was shocked when they heard it.
"Wu, the leader of the martial arts..."
"... Monkey King?"
Everyone travels in the rivers and lakes, and now they are brainwashed by the green forest novels from the southwest. Naturally, they know the concept of the word "martial arts leader", but of course they have never heard of Long Aotian's name, so they don't know what to say for a while. It's like when you are registering in the Jianghu, and someone suddenly says: "I am the emperor." Of course you don't believe it, but if the other party has a bad temper and you can't beat him, then you probably don't know what to say in person.
A group of people folded their hands and left silently. When their figures disappeared into the woods, Ning Ji remembered it, and said loudly with his mouth closed: "Everyone who sees our Wulin League in the future, wake up with a start!"
Earlier, Qu Longjun was afraid of being seen by others, so he had already returned to the tent with his hands behind his back. At this time, Ning Ji also turned back, and together with Qu Longjun, he took a few glances through the crack of the tent before seeing Qu Longjun. Turning back with a smile: "You...you don't have to hit them like that, the incision of Jianghu, in fact, I will be right, as I said."
Ning Ji shook his head with a smile: "That's not the case. The two yamen ran over here, but there are actually some traces. These guys killed someone just now, and they are full of blood. They searched around while saying hello, and they are easily caught. What did they see, at that time they had no choice but to keep dying, I beat them in advance and saved their lives." He paused, "But it's also strange, why did these people want to kill the tax collectors?"
"I thought of this." Qu Longjun said softly, "Since ancient times, the imperial power has not been lowered to the county. In the past, the collection of taxes was naturally dependent on the cooperation of the big clans and clans from all over the country. The Wu Dynasty... Your Majesty, has come to Fujian. Since it is necessary to seize power, taxation is the most sensitive joint, and Fujian is also precisely where the power of the big clans is the strongest and most stable. Listening to what they say about killing yellow dogs between the lines, it seems that in the entire Fujian mountain, the government and the big clans are killing each other. It's great."
"So that's how it is..." Ning Ji nodded, and then said, "How do countries that don't collect taxes do things?"
"The situation in different places is always different." Qu Longjun thought for a while, "However, they have suffered a disadvantage, will they call someone here now? Should we avoid it?"
Ning Ji thought for a while: "These people... claiming to be spontaneous righteous men took advantage of the dark moon and the wind to kill the tax collectors, and gained the upper hand for a while, but in the end, it is impossible not to be afraid of the government, and they are all crooked. Gua Lizao, I think...there is no need to be afraid..."
He said so in his mouth, but after a while, he still came out to pack things with Qu Longjun, and this night, he moved the resting place a little bit.Although his current skills are not afraid of things, but there is no need to take too many risks...
-
When Ning Ji moved the camp here, on the other side, Meng Piao and others limped back. In the ruined temple in the nearby mountains, they met with some of the cooperating martyrs and leading brothers, and said happened.
"...The few of us were over there, and we met a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. If we didn't say anything, he would hit anyone..."
These people are really not bandits from the cottage, but righteous men and knights who were recruited and gathered by the leaders. At this time, when they talked about the ferocity of this man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, there was an uproar at the moment. Gather people on the spot to kill him and get back the place, but the action of killing the tax collector must have caused riots, and it is no longer suitable for extra trouble at this moment.
At the moment there was a lot of noise among the crowd, when they heard names like "Leader of Martial Arts" Long Aotian and "Monkey King Monkey King", they all thought that these must be perfunctory aliases.After talking like this for a while, when they were about to disperse, a man dressed as a scholar frowned and raised his hand in the crowd: "Wait a minute, I seem to... have heard of these two people."
"Oh?" Everyone and the elder brother who took the lead looked at him for a while.
The scholar took out a package in his bosom and opened it, took out several books similar to the "Book of Heroes", and rummaged through them on the spot.
After a while, a clue was found.
When everyone looked up, they all took a deep breath.
That was the reward announced by the Jiangning Fair Party forces last year. At that time, Jiang Ning claimed to hold the world's number one competition. Heroes from all sides gathered together. Even Lin Zongwu, who used to be known as the world's No.1, was there to compete with the black flag The masters broke out in a big battle, and since then, the King of Fairness overturned the table, and now the whole Jiangnan is in a mess. The masters who can survive in this kind of environment are stronger than those in Fujian. layered.However, the names of Long Aotian and Sun Wukong suddenly appeared on the black list of rewards at that time, and their rankings were not low, but they are still alive today, which shows the shocking skills of these two people. Meng Biao and others were beaten by each other. , not wronged.
Only the reason described in the reward and the nickname recorded were slightly different from what the other party reported.
Everyone gathered around to look at the two nicknames on the reward, and rubbed their chins. Their eyes were either suddenly or complicated. All the righteous indignation and bloodiness before were swept away in an instant.
Someone nodded, and someone else nodded.
"Um……"
"This is……"
"This is two..."
"These are two... masters of the evil sect."
Everyone understood.
Then Meng Biao and others also understood:
No wonder... I get beaten.
No wonder grumpy.
Because...they are masters of the evil sect.
-
The stars and the moon in the sky flow and change towards the west, and the sneaky people in the mountains gather and disperse.
In the misty mountains, Ning Ji and Qu Longjun got up early to light a fire, made a simple breakfast, and then packed up their bags, led the jujube horse and started down the mountain. After walking for a while, they gradually passed through the village , into the "road" located in the mountains.
There are not many pedestrians on the Xianxia Ancient Road, but it is already close to Pucheng County. Occasionally, some mountain people with burdens can be seen. Ning Ji and Qu Longjun are chatting and laughing, and they are going to set up a stall in the most lively place in the city. , By the way, eat some good things special in the mountains, and reward the fatigue of the journey along the way.
When they were about to arrive at a corner of a mountain road in the county seat, the two saw Meng Piao, a "righteous man" with a bruised nose and a swollen face, on the side of the road ahead.
And several figures following him.
