[011] Rivers and lakes
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen You felt a majestic momentum spurting out of him. He immediately felt a sense of defeat and wished he could take two steps back to relieve the pressure.
At this time, Lu Fang also looked at him with vigilant eyes, moving quietly, seemingly blocking his way back inadvertently. At this moment, an old man pushing a wheelbarrow shouted at the top of the street. : "We sell sesame cakes, big and crispy sesame cakes..."
Shen You had an idea and shouted to the old man: "Sesame seed seller, give me some..."
"Okay!" the old man responded while pushing the cart and ran over. Shen You didn't move at all. He seemed to be willing to be surrounded by Lu Fang and his master. When the old man selling sesame cakes came up, Shen You looked like a model. After taking a few decent sesame cakes and looking at them, he said to the old man: "Bring me five! Add two more!" After that, he picked up two and threw them to Lu Fang first and said, "Here are the sesame cakes for you!"
The movement was very natural. Lu Fang subconsciously took the sesame cake into his hand. Shen You pointed at the old man and said, "My uncle pays!" The old man pushed Lu Fang's master.
The old man unconsciously followed Shen You's hand and rushed towards Lu Fang's master. At this moment, Shen You ran towards the entrance of the alley like a rabbit running away.
In fact, when Shen You called the old man selling sesame cakes over, Lu Fang's master kept staring at him, fearing that something fishy might happen to him, but he didn't expect that Shen You would sneak away in the meantime, but Jiang Hu After all, there are rules in the world. Unless there are special circumstances, you should not perform in front of ordinary people. He took out money from his arms and gave it to the old man selling sesame cakes. When he rushed over, Shen You had already disappeared into the bustling crowd...
Looking at the looming figure of Shen You in the crowd, the old man said softly: "It would be great if you were in my door!" At this time, Lu Fang also followed and said to the old man with some flinching. : "Master, I lost the jade piece..."
To his surprise, the old man just said softly: "Well, I understand..."
At this time, the old man pushing the sesame cake cart came out of the alley and continued to shout loudly: "Sesame cakes are for sale, big and crispy sesame cakes..."
Hearing him shouting, the old man swung his cane and couldn't help but smile to himself. He actually got cheated out of five sesame cakes by that boy. He couldn't help but shake his head gently and walked towards the crowd. Lu Fang also followed lightly. .
In the crowd, Shen You bit his sesame seed cakes and thought to himself: "Thousands of Eight Generals, Thousand Sects of Eight Generals, where can I find them? There is no money in my pocket. If it weren't for these sesame seed cakes today, I probably wouldn't have anything to eat!" If this continues, I'll probably starve to death before I even find the Eight Thousand Sects and Eight Generals!"
Standing in the endless flow of people, Shen You felt at a loss for the first time. After all, Yanhai City was different from Zhaixingya. Food depended on money, but now money has become a major problem that troubled Shen You.
Just when Shen You was thinking and walking aimlessly, he suddenly felt his shoulder being grabbed. He was startled and saw the old man holding the crutch put a crutch under his armpit, and his free hand was holding it. Shen You's shoulder. On the other side, Lu Fang also walked over from one side and took his other arm seemingly very intimately.
The old man smiled heartily and said: "Eldest nephew, how can you be so angry with your father and even run away from home? Let me tell you, this bride is ugly, but she can still carry on the family line, right? Who said that? Our family is poor! You see, my uncle is so old and he still has to come out to you on a crutch!"
When the people around him heard what the old man said, they immediately pointed and smiled in understanding. When Shen You saw this situation, he secretly thought that he was careless. After all, the city was so big and he was wandering around aimlessly, so he would be easily encountered. It can only be considered unlucky. He immediately laughed, supported the old man and said loudly: "Look, uncle, you are so old, why are you still walking out on a crutch!"
"There's no way! Who told you to be disobedient!" The two of them chatted and found a relatively secluded alley and stopped. The old man snorted coldly and said: "Okay, stop pretending, don't think about running away, I The old man has a bad temper, just tease me once, or I'll break your legs the second time!"
Shen You chuckled and said: "Look what you said, old man, I usually can't find seniors like you in the world, but now that I have met him, there is still reason for me to run away."
"Where's the jade piece?"
"What kind of jade piece?"
"If you pretend to believe it again, I'll break your legs!"
"It's okay if you want. First tell me where you got the jade piece. Otherwise, let alone break my leg, I won't give it to you even if it takes my life!"
"You're a little brat. It's okay to tell you. That's the testimony of my disciples. What's wrong? What else do you want?"
"Disciple?" Shen You was stunned after hearing this. He clearly remembered that this pure white jade piece was among the master's relics, and the lame old man said that it was actually a disciple's item...
Seeing that Shen You didn't speak, the old man snorted and said, "Don't think blindly. I, Shang Yingxiong, have shot more geese than you have ever eaten. I'm just telling you. You don't know what use this piece of jade is, unless It’s the person behind you.”
At this time, the old man's eyes became more and more fierce, but Shen You suddenly looked around and whispered to the old man: "There are so many people, so let's find a relatively secluded place."
"Okay, let me see what you are capable of." The old man snorted, and the three of them found a private room in the teahouse and walked in.
After the tea master served the tea, Shen You didn't look at the tea. He came up and asked, "Sir, do you know Qianmen?"
In fact, Shen You was also betting. After all, he felt from Lu Fang that Lu Fang had a simple and honest character, and presumably his master was not an evil person. According to what he had just thought, after all, he didn't understand anything. Instead of waiting passively, it would be better to Taking the initiative, he simply asked the old man directly.
After hearing this, the old man smiled slightly and said to Shen You: "Of course I know Qianmen, but I don't know that you are the disciple of Qianmen?"
Upon hearing this question, Shen You immediately said seriously: "General of Qianmen!"
The old man was about to laugh, but he controlled himself and asked Shen You, "Since you are a subordinate of the Qian Sect Master, what proof do you have?"
Hearing the old man's question, Shen You was stunned. After all, he only came into contact with the master and Qiao Liu, and they were both dying at that time. The master left something for himself, but he couldn't show it to the other person. When he was hesitating secretly, his mind suddenly turned around and he asked the old man: "I wonder which sect you belong to, old man?"
The old man seemed to be teasing him and said to Shen You, "Actually, I am also a Qianmen!"
Shen You was stunned, then picked up a cup of tea and put it to his lips, as if he wanted to calm down his restless mood. At the same time, he judged the authenticity of the old man's words.
At this time, the old man also picked up a cup of tea, put it to his mouth and tasted the tea gently: "Although this place is not big, the tea is still good. My eldest brother liked drinking tea very much back then, and I also got it by chance. I knew he had appeared in this place, but I have been here for almost three years, but I have never found him..."
"Your elder brother?"
"Well, he is our Qianmen Sect Master. He especially likes to drink tea. You said that this tea must be matched with good water. My elder brother once said that in Dream of Red Mansions, Miaoyu uses snow from plum blossoms to make tea. It is actually like new tea. You need to use half-boiled water, while Pu'er tea requires three boiling water. Others can't learn how to control the heat! I stayed in Yanhai City for three years and drank tea in this place for three years. "A lot of what my elder brother said makes sense..." After speaking, the old man took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes, and gently savored the taste between his teeth and tongue.
At this time, Shen You's memory suddenly came to mind when his master once chatted with him and said that you must use good water for drinking tea. The snow water from the next year is the most suitable for this spring's new tea, and the best Kuding tea is from the well. Water, the best Longjing tea is mountain spring water. Every tea leaf is different. Pick tea with care, stir-fry tea with care, and make tea with care... As he thought, he murmured unconsciously. And out.
Hearing what he said, a strange color flashed in the old man's eyes, and he murmured: "How did you know that?"
At this moment, Shen You finally understood that the person in front of him was a senior in the sect, but he still asked cautiously: "Regarding pros and cons, removing rumors from the wind and fire, I wonder which branch you are from?"
"Thousands of Ninety-sixth Generation Fire General, Shang Yingxiong! Don't you know my eldest brother?"
"My master passed away..." A trace of tears flashed in Shen You's eyes.
Immediately, Shen You went to play in the mountains and met the old monk by chance. Later, he learned martial arts with him and later met Qiao Liu. Then the two of them died together and told each other, but he did not mention the relics. This is also in the Qianmen Ceremony. Rule of thumb: The only one you can always believe in is yourself!
Hearing Qiao Liu, Shang Yingxiong's eyes suddenly flashed with anger. Shen You clearly felt the difference in him and immediately asked casually: "Uncle Master knows about Qiao Liu?"
Shang Yingxiong snorted coldly and said: "Thousands of sects honor Dayu as their ancestor, and there have been disciples in all dynasties to pass on the inheritance, but there are too few people gathered together. According to the instructions of the ancestors, if you raise the eight generals of Qiansmen, you can open an altar to worship your ancestors. But the eight generals were scattered and difficult to gather together. This inheritance has only gathered six times in thousands of years. Every time they gathered, something big happened. Except for the time when the founder of Dayu, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor, and the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty all They are the predecessors of our Qianmen. Then there are Sima Yi and Tang Taizong Li Shimin. The most recent one is Zeng Guofan, Zeng Wenzheng and Zeng Pingping pacified the Changmao Rebellion. But from that time on, the descendants of the Qianmen rebel generals tried to make their own way. General, establish a sect, which is another branch of our Qianmen. In the past few hundred years, disputes between the two sects have occurred from time to time. As far as the jade pieces in our hands..."
"Jade pieces?" Hearing Shang Yingxiong talking about jade pieces, Shen You immediately asked in surprise, does it have anything to do with jade pieces?
Shang Yingxiong nodded and said: "Of course it is related, but this is a matter within the sect. I can't tell you until it is officially confirmed that you are the latest generation of Qianmen Sect Master!"
"How do you want to be sure?" If Shen You had a hint of doubt at first, but now he didn't think so much and asked immediately.
