Chapter 50: Martial Artist Walks Centipede Ridge at Night (1)
Let's say that Wu Song rested at Zhang Qing's house for three to five days. Not only was the stick on his back almost healed, but he was also full of energy. During this period, Zhang Qing asked around about things that were as urgent as a thorn, and there was a lot of hustle and bustle. As a public servant, he went out of the city and came to the villages to arrest him.
Zhang Qing knew this and had no choice but to say to Wu Song: "Second brother, it's not that I'm afraid of trouble and won't keep you here for a long time. Nowadays, the lawsuit is urgent and we have to go door to door. I'm afraid there will be some mistakes tomorrow. Brother Shi Jin will definitely resent me and my husband. But I'm looking for someone." A good place to settle down is with you. Brother Shi Jin also told you to come here before."
Wu Song said: "I have been thinking about it in the past few days, thinking that this matter is bound to happen, how to settle down here. I, Wu Song, only have one brother, but I don't want to be harmed by that unkind sister-in-law. Who would have thought that I would come here and be here again?" After being framed like this, all the relatives in the ancestral family are gone." Wu Song said here, obviously at the end of his rope, he sighed and continued: "Brother, what you are saying is that I also have a heart, and I hate that the time has not come yet. It was no coincidence that when I was in Happy Forest, I wanted to go to Huazhou, but I didn't know how to tell Lao Guanying. But at that time, I was transferred to Mengzhou Mansion. At that time, I met Lao Guanying. After getting rid of the relationship, I also thought about defecting to Huazhou. However, I became selfish for a moment and wanted to build a team and then defect to Brother Shi Jin. At least my face was bright, but I didn't expect that before I was promoted, this Everything turned out to be a game. I was trapped in prison and wanted to escape from prison. However, I just couldn't swallow this bad breath. Now that I have killed people and washed away the blood of those bird officials, I can't hold this bad breath. It's just that things happened and there is no place to hide. Brother, why don't you go with me? Without further ado, I plan to go today."
"That's exactly what I planned. When we said goodbye at the foot of Erlong Mountain that day, I had the heart to surrender. However, Brother Shi Jin was worried about your safety, so he left me here to serve as your minister. Today, since the second brother has made up his mind I have decided to go to Huazhou, so I won’t stay for a long time. My brother is on his way now. Your sister-in-law and I packed up the store, sold the land, and then called the guys over there to go to Huazhou together. "Zhang Qing said.
"That's very good," Wu Song said, and Zhang Qing immediately took some gold and silver to use as travel expenses, took them to Wu Song, and arranged for food and wine to be sent on the way.
At this time, Sun Erniang, the mother-in-law and yaksha, pointed at Zhang Qing and said: "You just call your uncle and go away like this. If you leave like this, you will not be more than a hundred miles away, and you will be captured alive by the officials on the official road ahead."
Wu Song heard a calculation in his mind, but didn't know the reason, and quickly asked: "Sister-in-law, tell me how I can't go, how can I be caught in front of you?"
Sun Erniang said: "Uncle, now there are documents everywhere in the lawsuit. Three thousand letters have been sent out to reward money. Shadows and figures are clearly written on the year of my hometown. They are hung up everywhere. I can see two lines of gold seals on my face. If I encounter an interrogation on the way forward, I will definitely be in trouble. Even if uncle kills those officers and soldiers on a whim, there will definitely be a large number of pursuers to arrest him. By then, uncle will not be able to leave even if he wants to."
Zhang Qing said: "I put two plasters on my face and that's it."
Sun Erniang smiled and said: "You are the only smart person in the world. You are saying such nonsense. How can you hide this from the public servants? But I have a point. I'm afraid my uncle won't be able to rely on it."
Wu Song said: "Since I want to escape the disaster, how can I not rely on it?"
Sun Erniang laughed and said, "Uncle, don't be offended if I tell you."
Wu Song said: "Sister-in-law said Dingyi,"
Sun Erniang said: "Two years ago, there was a Toutuo who passed by here. I came down and knocked over his hands and feet. I made steamed bun stuffing for a few days, but I left him with only an iron hoop, all his clothes, and a soap robe. A short colored tassel, a ultimatum, a string of one hundred and eight skull-numbered beads, and a shark skin sheath holding two swords made of snowflakes and iron. These swords often whistled loudly in the middle of the night. Uncle said before I have also seen and used it. Now that I have to flee, I have to cut my hair and become a traveler. I have to cover the gold seal on my forehead. I also have to use this certificate as an amulet. I am old and have the same appearance as my uncle. But It's not because of his previous life, so my uncle answered his name. Who dares to question him on the way forward? This way, my uncle thinks it's good,"
Zhang Qing clapped his hands and said: "Er Niang is right, I forgot about this move. Second brother, how do you feel?"
Wu Song said: "This also makes me afraid that I won't look like a monk."
Zhang Qing said: "Let me pretend to be with you."
Sun Erniang went to the room to take out the parcel, opened it, and found a lot of clothes, which she taught Wu Song to wear inside and out.
Wu Song looked at himself and said, "It looks just like what I am doing." He put on his soap robe, tied his ribbon, took off his felt hat, untied his hair, folded it up, tied up the boundary hoop, and hung a few beads.
Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang looked at it, and the two cheered: "But it was not destined in the previous life."
Wu Song looked in the mirror and started laughing.
Zhang Qing said: "Second brother, why are you laughing?"
Wu Song said: "I looked funny when I took the photo. I became a traveler for some reason. Brother, he cut my hair with me." Zhang Qing picked up the scissors and cut off both the front and back hair of Wu Song.
Wu Song knew that the wind had been strong recently and that if he stayed here for a long time, he would only have long nights and dreams. So he packed his bags and set off on the road.
Zhang Qing then said: "Second brother, listen to me, I am not a brother and I want to take advantage of you. You leave the wine vessel from the governor's house here, and you take the silver I gave you earlier with you. It's enough to make travel arrangements on the road. If you bring these things with you, firstly, they will be a burden, and secondly, they will be stolen goods. If someone accidentally sees them, you will lose your identity. Just listen to me, and you will be safe."
Wu Song said: "Brother has seen clearly," and immediately shook the baggage, took out all the baggage and handed it to Zhang Qing, and tied the rest into the bag and tied it around his waist.
Wu Song had a feast of wine and dinner, bid farewell to Zhang Qing and his wife, and put the two iron swords on his waist, which were all packed that night.
Sun Erniang took out the ultimatum, sewed a brocade bag with him to contain it, and taught Wu Song to hang it on his chest.
Before Wu Song left, Zhang Qing said again: "Second brother, be careful on the road. Don't trust anything too much. Eat less wine. Don't argue with others. Also do some monastic walks. Don't be impatient in everything. In order not to be seen through, my husband and I are not here for a long time. I am afraid that I will pack up my belongings later and rush to join the team. Second brother, take care, take care. Please pay my respects to Shi Jin and other brothers for us. ,"
Wu Song immediately resigned and went out, put up his sleeves and swung them.
Zhang Qing and his wife looked at it and secretly cheered behind them: "Look at that, what a traveler."
That night, the martial artist left Mengzhou Road and walked down the main road of the official road. Less than fifty miles away, Wu Song saw a high ridge. The martial artist took advantage of the moonlight and climbed up the ridge step by step. But at the first watch of the sky, when the martial artist stood on the top of the ridge to look, he saw the moon coming up from the east, illuminating the vegetation on the ridge.
While he was watching, he heard someone laughing in the forest in front of him. The martial artist said: "He's causing trouble again. How can there be laughter and laughter in such a quiet high mountain?" He walked through the forest and took a look. Look, he saw a tomb hut near the mountain in the pine forest, with about a dozen thatched cottages. Two small windows were opened. Wu Song looked very far away. Through the window lattice, he happened to see a gentleman hugging a woman there. Watching the moon in front of the window and laughing.
Wu Xingzhe looked at it and said, "Anger arises from the heart, and evil arises from the side of courage." "This is in the mountains and forests, but monks are doing such things," Wu Song thought in his heart, and took out the two mouthfuls from his waist. The rotten silver is also like a sword. When I looked at it under the moonlight, it was full of brilliance. I couldn't help but exclaimed in my heart: "The sword is really good. I haven't seen it for half a month, and I don't know whether it will be smooth or smooth in my hand. Let's try the knife with this Mr. Bird first. "Thinking about it, he hung a handful on his wrist, put the handful in the sheath, knotted the two straight sleeves on his back, went straight to the nunnery and knocked on the door. The gentleman heard it and knocked on the door. After the back window was closed, the martial artist picked up a stone and went to open the door. He saw the door opened on the side of the ground and a Taoist boy came out. He raised his hand and pointed at Wu Song and shouted: "Who are you? How dare you make such a fuss in the middle of the night?" "Knocking on doors, what do you do?"
The martial artist opened his strange eyes and shouted: "What are you going to do? First take this bird Taoist sacrificial knife." Before he could finish his words, the Taoist boy was frightened. Before he had time to shout, he saw where Wu Song raised his hand. There was a sound as the Taoist boy's head fell to the side as a stream of hot blood passed through the air, and his body immediately fell to the ground.
Wu Song kicked the corpse away and entered the nunnery after a few ups and downs. He saw the gentleman in the nunnery shouting: "Whoever dares to kill my Taoist boy, watch me take your life." Jumping out of the window, the gentleman held two swords in his hands and ran straight towards the martial artist.
Wu Song couldn't help laughing when he saw it: "I actually use two swords, which suits my taste. Let's take a look at these two swords so that you can really taste my power." After saying that, he went to the sheath and pulled out the sword. When he came out, he looked at the gentleman and came forward to fight with a pair of swords.
The two people were fighting under the moonlight, going back and forth, and the four cold lights swirled into a circle of cold air.
The pair of swords in the hands of the gentleman are like trickling clear springs. The water flows continuously, and each move is interlocked with each other. It is endless and never-ending.
The pair of iron and steel swords in Wu Song's hands were like a rushing torrent, like the Yellow River bursting. Before the first move was finished, the next move was coming up again. Under a dazzling sword attack, every move of the gentleman was wiped out. They were all banned. Wu Song tested this gentleman's skills and found out the details. He was just a three-legged cat. He sneered secretly in his heart and started playing with the man like a cat's claws and a mouse. He saw all the moves of the master, and struck before he could make a move, hitting the master's Achilles' heel at just the right moment, so that every move he was just gathering momentum could not be used.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, Wu Song had enough. At that moment, his sword technique changed and he used none other than this gentleman's style. He just used the sword technique to interpret the sword technique deeply and hard.
The two fought for several more rounds, only to hear a loud sound near the mountain, and one of the two fell. However, they saw heads falling in the cold light and shadow, and blood sprayed out from the murderous aura.
