Chapter Eight, Yangzhou Playing the Stone Dragon
Fireworks in March are endless willows; in the dream, Jiangnan is endless wine.
Although it was not March in Yangzhou at this time, the pavilions and towers were still in full bloom. Unfortunately, beggars wandering on the streets, slutty gangsters, ragged people, and refugees everywhere outside the city gate all told the absence of the romanticism in the past. Today, Yangzhou City has also entered the twilight with the entire dynasty.
Slowly walking on the streets of Yangzhou, people with no idea of knowing that people are full of complexity. It is undeniable that Yang Guang is indeed a great monarch, but he is too harsh to the people. Although he did some things that benefited the future for the sake of destroying the aristocratic families, he was transferred to the people by the aristocratic families. In the end, the aristocratic families not only did not lose their power, but instead took the opportunity to exploit the people to strengthen themselves more unscrupulously. Yang Guang may know, or maybe he doesn't know, so what? Now Yang Guang has become a yellow flower yesterday. Not only has he been hollowed out by wine and sex, he is also under the control of the aristocratic families, and he cannot even control himself in life and death.
It was a coincidence! The ship that was sailing on the Song Valve went downstream. As soon as he got off the boat in Yangzhou, the Song Valve heard and heard the news that Yu Wen and he came to Yangzhou to get the "Qiusheng Jue". In fact, Yang Guang had been searching for "Qiusheng Jue" for a long time, but Yu Wen and he had only recently discovered that "Qiusheng Jue" was in Yangzhou.
In front is where Shi Long lives in seclusion. Zhifei Taoist did not knock on the door and sneaked into Shi Long's quiet room. The latter was working hard to study the "Eternal Life Skills", frowning high, and never infiltrated Zhifei Taoist.
Seeing that he was immersed in the mind, the Taoist did not disturb him, so he sat opposite Shilong and waited quietly. This was also a prank he thought of temporarily. I think Shilong suddenly sneaked in and sat opposite him and kept looking at him, but he didn't show up at all. The scene must be very interesting.
Shi Long did not disappoint Zhifei Taoist. When he tried to transfer true qi according to the map in "The Eternal Life Skill", and then injured his meridians again without any accident, he said disappointedly: "What is the secret of this technique?"
"Do you want to know? I can tell you." Zhifei said in a plain tone and a little joking manner.
Shi Long was shocked. He really lived up to the title of the number one master in Yangzhou City. He suddenly slashed at the air and then pulled the Changsheng Art into his arms. He suddenly turned up and rushed out with a "huh" sound. It was not that he did not have the courage to fight the enemy head-on, but that the other party could sneak into his room quietly. He didn't show any of it before the other party spoke. This was simply incredible in Shi Long's perception. Such a strong enemy was naturally the best way to go.
Unfortunately, his plan failed again. He was light and fluttering, Zhifei Dao Ren floated to the door like a piece of paper man, blocking Shi Long. Shi Long shouted, pushed the mountain palm to gather all his strength, and suddenly hit Zhifei Dao Ren in the chest. He turned back again, intending to hit the wall and come out.
Zhifei Taoist did not plan to play with him anymore. He sucked his chest with a concave belly, and bent like a big shrimp. He poked out his right palm and barely grabbed the Shilong Vein Gate. With the internal force urging, Shilong became weak and soft.
The Taoist Zhifa put Shi Long in the position where he was sitting, and then he smiled faintly and said, "Why should fellow Taoist Shi Long be anxious? Your Majesty said, wouldn't it be fun to have friends coming from afar?"
Shi Long's face was extremely wonderful. After changing for several times, he finally realized the huge gap in strength between the two sides. He seemed to have accepted his life and his face turned gray. He said with a bitter face: "Senior master, why bother teasing me?"
The Taoist Zhifei smiled and said, "I am not a master of the great fortune. I am not a good master. If I become a guest this time, should I know my purpose?"
Shi Long said bitterly: "Men Ning is one of the three great masters and the number one master in Middle Earth. Why should he covet the treasure book of "The Eternal Life" and compete with his younger generation for opportunities?" In his understanding, among the Taoist priests, only the San Zhenren Ning Daoqi, who is known as the number one in the world, has such a superb skill.
After hearing what he said, the Taoist Zhifei knew that this guy had misunderstood. He laughed and said, "Fellow Taoist Shilong recognized the wrong person. I am not the one who is determined to be with the Hu Buddhist Buddhism. However, it is indeed not wrong to come here for "The Eternal Life Skills". Well, I have fallen in love with your Shilong Taoist Temple and want to be a bad guest who occupies the magpie's nest. Fellow Taoist Shilong will agree happily, right?"
Shi Long was shocked by the shamelessness of Zhifei Taoist, but he had to bow his head under the eaves. He was a bit arrogant and made him surrender, which was difficult. Shi Long snorted in his nose and said, "Senior, he will defeat me with his strength. What else does Shi Long say?"
Zhifei Taoist smiled indifferently: "He is an unyielding person. Well, I just copied a copy of the "Eternal Life Skill". As for this Shilong Taoist temple, if I save your life, it will be the reward from Shilong Taoist to me. What do you think?" Zhifei Taoist had already thought about it. If Shilong agreed now, he would naturally not cause him to suffer a loss. As for the possibility that the two dragons would lose the opportunity to practice the Eternal Life Skill, Zhifei Taoist didn't care. Of course, even if Shilong disagreed now, he would not turn a blind eye to it at that time, which was considered as a compensation for forced borrowing the Eternal Life Skill.
Shi Long said to himself: "Why are you going to kill me and then pretend to let me go, and you will save my life. Humph, you have a good plan." Zhifei Dao Ren seemed to see what Shi Long was thinking and sighed: "Well, it seems that fellow Taoist Shi Long can't believe me for the time being. The future is long, so let's talk about it later. Take "The Art of Eternal Life" to me first." As he said that, without waiting for Shi Long to react, he took out the "The Art of Eternal Life" from Shi Long, looked through it carefully, and finally asked Shi Long for a pen and ink copy.
The Taoist Zhifa originally planned to leave the copybook to Shi Long, but later he thought about it, and it was too unauthentic. He finally gave up and kept the original. Before leaving, he mentioned it casually: "By the way, reliable news, Yuwen's Yu Culture and the order to find the "Eternal Life Skills". I will arrive in Yangzhou soon. Fellow Daoist Shi Long must be careful."
It was probably because it was too long for me to copy. When I left Shilong Mansion, it was already dark. I touched my hungry stomach, and the man who knew nothing was right and walked towards an inn.
Maybe it was because of the burden of the law of heaven, and each had its own retribution. It seemed that the Taoist had relied on force to bully Shi Long before, but now the retribution came. Two 14 or 15-year-old boys in the corner of the street ran towards him. The one in front seemed to have not seen him, plunged into his arms, while the other boy passed by him and continued to run forward.
Zhifei Taoist thought it was interesting. The two young men cooperated with each other, and it turned out that they were two thieves. The one in front bumped into his arms and touched the silver and other things on his body, while the other took the stolen goods and ran away. It was really a tacit understanding. However, they met Zhifei Taoist, so they were destined to be futile.
Zhifei Taoist gently broke away from the young man in front of him, and used Jin Yan's skills. In a few steps, he stopped him in front of another young man and easily retrieved his own things. It was also his "Eternal Life Art" in Shi Long, and he was in a good mood. Otherwise, he would have to teach these two young men a lesson that was neither big nor small.
