Tianlong Sword Guanghan

Chapter 15 15. The Hero

Qiao Feng couldn't bear to see the beggar gang's internal strife and division, so he handed over the dog-beating stick to Elder Xu, and resigned from the position of gang leader.The gang of beggars was at a loss for a while, the apricot forest was silent, only the sound of everyone's heavy breathing could be heard.

Suddenly, a clear female voice rang out: "Uncles and uncles, my husband passed away unfortunately. It is difficult to say who was responsible for the murder. But I think my husband has been honest and honest all his life, and he is clumsy in words. , there are no enemies in the rivers and lakes, and I really can't figure out why someone would take his life. However, as the saying goes: "Slowly hiding and stealing", is it because my husband has something important in his hands that others want to get? And willingly? Are others afraid that he will reveal the secret and spoil the big event, so they want to kill him to silence him?" The one who said this was Ma Dayuan's widow, Mrs. Ma.The intention of these few words is very clear, pointing out that the murderer who killed Ma Dayuan was Qiao Feng, and the purpose of his murder was to cover up the evidence that he was a Khitan.

Qiao Feng turned around, looked at Mrs. Ma, and was about to speak when Li Xiaoyao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mrs. Ma, are you accusing my elder brother of killing Vice-Clan Leader Ma?"

Mrs. Ma looked down at the ground, and said softly: "I dare not."

Li Xiaoyao said with a smile: "So it's not 'don't want', but 'dare not'."

Mrs. Ma raised her head and saw the corner of his eyes smiling. She felt that something was wrong in her heart, and she knew that he was very resourceful, so she turned around and said sadly to the beggars: "I am an ignorant woman." It's not right for your generation to go out and show their faces, so why dare to indiscriminately accuse others? It's just that my husband died unjustly, and I implore all uncles and uncles to remember the old feelings, find out the truth, and avenge my husband." Said Seeing Yingying bow down, she actually kowtowed to Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng saw that she didn't say a word about him as the murderer, but every word pointed to him vaguely.Really angry, but seeing her weak and pitiful, and kowtowing to himself, she didn't know what to do.I had no choice but to kneel down and said, "Sister-in-law, please get up."

At this moment, I heard Li Xiaoyao say: "Mrs. Ma, please get up. Even if you kowtow 1 heads here, you will not be able to knock to death the real culprit who killed Vice-Clan Leader Ma."

Qiao Feng couldn't help being surprised when he heard the sarcasm in his words, and looked at Li Xiaoyao, who blinked at him for a while, and then said seriously: "Friends of the Beggar Gang, seniors, and two elders Senior Monk De, please. Regarding the matter of the Ma deputy leader of the Beggar Gang, I have another explanation here, I wonder if you can elaborate on it?"

Elder Xu said: "Mr. Li, I don't know what you have to say about the death of the vice-leader Ma." Seeing Li Xiaoyao defeating Zhao Qiansun with a sword, he revealed his identity as the leading brother with a few words. Knowing that he is powerful, dare not underestimate him.Seeing that he is confident at this moment, he dare not be reckless.

Li Xiaoyao took a few steps forward, stood by Qiao Feng's side, and said to the group of beggars: "I, Li Xiaoyao, have met all the brothers of the Beggar Clan." Everyone in the Beggar Clan has made him famous for three years. Faced with a widow, at this moment, I see that he is very good at martial arts, and he is kind.They also thanked him for his kindness to the beggar gang, and they all promised loudly.

Li Xiaoyao went on to say: "Three years ago, when I was in Zhejiang, I came across Ye Erniang, one of the Four Great Evil Dogs who was 'All Evil, No Evil'. It’s really inhuman.”

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd was excited, and everyone cursed angrily. Li Xiaoyao waved his hand, and waited for the voices of the beggars to fall, and then said: "Since I have encountered such an act of common anger, I can't ignore it. At that time, I was just entering the world , extremely reckless, she drew her sword and killed me regardless. Seeing that she couldn't beat me, she called the four big evil dogs over. Hehe, the four big evil dogs, such a big font size, luckily, I can still see it in martial arts , defeat them together."

Everyone saw him saying "lucky", but his face was extremely perfunctory, and he said such shocking things like chewing wax, which was tasteless, and they all secretly thought it was funny.

Feng Boxie said: "I'm afraid only people like them can say the word 'lucky' in such a perfunctory way."

Bao BuTong endured it for a long time, now that the seal was lifted, he immediately hit the snake with the stick and said, "No, no, Mr. Murong of my family is modest and cautious, and he will not spread such things everywhere. As for Master Qiao..." Aside Zhu went on to say: "I'm afraid I've already slapped these four vicious dogs to death, and cooked a pot of delicious braised dog meat." Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan couldn't help smiling when they saw that they were talking interestingly.

Li Xiaoyao went on to say: "At that time, I was so angry that I wanted to kill Erniang Ye so that she wouldn't cause trouble again, but who knew I bought one and got three free, and three more dog heads came. When I entered the rivers and lakes, I made a fortune, and I wanted to use this blood to consecrate my sword. So I chased him all the way from Zhejiang to Qinzhou, and met Elder Wu who fought hard for the country in Yingshou Gorge."

In the past three years, the story of his "'treasure sword' claim" has spread all over the world. When everyone saw him talking about his "treasure sword" that had just been consecrated but died prematurely, they couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Xiaoyao went on to say: "Everyone knows what happened afterwards. I fought side by side with Elder Wu. Although we destroyed the conspiracy of Xixia Yipintang, these four evil dogs were spared. I was very upset at the time, and you said that' Forbearance for a moment, the more you think about it, the more you lose, and the more you take a step back, the more you think about it, the more angry you become." Three months later, I took the compensation for breaking my sword, rushed into Xixia again, and made a big fuss in the kennel of Yipintang."

Although everyone already knew what happened, but hearing him narrate the matter at this moment, their blood was boiling and their hearts were agitated.

A disciple of the beggar gang shouted: "Young Master Li, what a man!" Li Xiaoyao turned around in place and laughed loudly: "Wait a minute, have you ever seen a young man like me in a single shirt and bare feet in straw sandals? Heroes, if you don't give up, how will we be brothers?"

The members of the beggar gang are generous and generous, and there are many people who don't care about trivial matters. Seeing him acting like this now, he feels even more like "then look at mung beans—they are right."There was a roar of applause for a while.

Li Xiaoyao went on to say: "Brother, I had a fight in the Yamen of the Yipintang, and I had a new understanding of my own martial arts, so I didn't have time to go to Luoyang to see the 'Northern Qiao Peak' that Angkor blew into the sky. Then hurried back to the teacher's gate and went to retreat."

Wang Yuyan said: "Fighting to the death, breaking through in front of the battle. Mr. Duan, your second brother is really proud. His method of martial arts, but few people dare to use it."

Duan Yu praised: "Extremely extremely, Miss Wang, you are so accurate, my elder brother praised him as the 'Unique Sword in the World'." "Under Heaven's Wonderful Sword" is hidden and not mentioned.

At this time, Li Xiaoyao said in a low tone, "This time I retreated for three years in a flash, and it was already two months ago when I left the closed door and entered the Great Song Dynasty again."

He clasped his fists to the members of the beggar gang, and said: "I never thought that the brother of the beggar gang, Bo Yuntian, would be famous for me for three years. I, Li Xiaoyao, am a widow. I am really lucky to be able to make friends with so many good men. I want to be I thanked the elders of the beggar gang, and rushed all the way to Luoyang, who knows, when I arrived in Luoyang, I heard the news that the deputy gang leader Ma was killed."

Speaking of this, he showed helplessness, and said: "I was in a hurry to go to condolences, but I missed Sutou. When I arrived in Luoyang, it was already Xu time. In the next two lives, I will be poor and my teacher's school will be withered. Pair it with sweat and blood horses, a mink fur coat, and a pocket of gold leaves. The only gift from my teacher is a pillow."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.Duan Yuqi said: "Second brother, could it be that this pillow is an antique from the previous dynasty?"

Li Xiaoyao smiled at Bao BuTong and the others, and said, "No, no, my teacher said...cough cough." He cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and said with a straight face, "Hold the pillow and sleep well. Everything." This time, everyone burst into laughter, and even Qiao Feng couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Xiaoyao saw that the atmosphere in the arena was relaxed, nodded in his heart, and continued: "I sneaked over the city wall and entered the city, but I saw nothing but black lights and nowhere to go."

Others only thought what he said was interesting, Bao BuTong, but they were surprised by the vicious turmoil. Their family's years of rebellion, ancestral rebellion, this Luoyang Xiongcheng, the geometry of the city walls, they knew it well.Li Xiaoyao was able to hide from the defenders and cross over at night at will. This kind of lightness skill is really shocking and unheard of.These people actually rule the world with their swordsmanship, hiss~, I am terrified when I think about it, I am terrified when I think about it.

The two of them were full of thoughts, but they heard Li Xiaoyao continue to say: "I will enter the city at night, and I also have no money. I just want to go to the mansion of Vice-Major Ma to see if there are any brothers from the Beggar Clan. It is best to meet them." Going to Elder Wu, I will also fight against the autumn wind."

Wu Changfeng was speechless and said, "I'm a good boy. Old Wu, I've been a beggar all my life. This is the first time I heard that the autumn wind hit a beggar on the head."

Li Xiaoyao said: "I found seven or eight watchmen, and I finally found out where I was going. It was almost the fourth watch when I found the Ma's courtyard. His grandma, why is Luoyang City so big! There is no way now. Now, I can only find a sheltered corner in the alley to sleep and wait for the dawn."

Several elders knew his name three years ago, and they have long been heartbroken.Elder Xi said: "Brother Li, there is no need to be like this. Luoyang is the headquarter of our Beggar Clan. In the future, Brother Li will go to Luoyang. Whenever you come to Mijiazhuang in the western suburbs, everyone in the Beggar Clan will sweep the couch to welcome you." .”

He had just finished speaking, and several elders thought at the same time, Li Xiaoyao is now Qiao Feng's brother-in-law, and Qiao Feng was forced to leave the Beggars' Clan today, and it may be difficult to get along in harmony in the future.I can't help but feel sad.

Li Xiaoyao thanked Elder Xi for his invitation, and then said: "I fell asleep at the entrance of the alley, and after a while, I heard someone passing by on the roof. Someone is doing bad things to Ma's family. But if they visit late at night, Madam Ma's reputation may be damaged. I have to jump to the top of the big tree outside the courtyard and look inside."

He bowed deeply to Elder Xu, and said: "It's really wrong to spy on Ma's family garden in the middle of the night, but we have to act urgently, so please forgive me." Elder Xu said: "This is a chivalrous duty, why come Forgive me, but I just don’t know, can little brother see what that person looks like?”

Li Xiaoyao said: "I was at the top of the tree. From a distance, I could only see the back of a man. Although he was wearing quail clothes, I couldn't see his face clearly. I was afraid that he would be fierce, so I kept guarding at the top of the tree, but something terrible happened. , then I don’t care too much, I must rush in to save people. But who knows..."

Qiao Feng asked: "What?"

Li Xiaoyao said: "The man went into the backyard and never came out again."

The elders frowned upon hearing this.Deputy Ma's gang leader is newly mourned, and the widow Mrs. Ma lives in the backyard of Ma's house.Elder Wu said anxiously: "Brother Li, be careful, these things are related to Mrs. Ma's name and the reputation of Ma's deputy leader after death. There is no evidence, so you can't just talk about it."

Mrs. Ma's face was filled with sorrow, and she said softly: "Young Master Li and Uncle Qiao have a deep sense of loyalty, which is admirable. It's just that Da Yuan passed away, and the rest of my concubine will only be accompanied by fame and integrity, but they would rather die than be hurt." Everyone saw her especially. Poor and angry, he glared at Li Xiaoyao.If it wasn't for Li Xiaoyao's arrogance just now, everyone had a good impression of him and was willing to listen to his excuses, I am afraid that the beggars of the Beggar Clan would have died endlessly and besieged them.

Li Xiaoyao nodded to Elder Wu and said: "Well, I thought so too. At that time, I knew you, Old Brother Ang, in the entire beggar gang. Who knows what's hidden in it? I waited at the top of the tree until the first In the early morning of the second day, that person came out. Since ancient times, I have not been close to each other, so I dare not speak casually, and it is hard to win people's trust. The second is hard to win people's trust. If it alarms bad people, it will be very bad."

Qiao Feng said: "There is a saying that 'catch thieves and take stolen goods', second brother, you have nothing to say, even if you say it now, it is hard to be convincing." "Double" is really beyond words.

Li Xiaoyao said: "I searched all over Luoyang in the morning, and I came across Master Zhiguang in Tiantai Mountain. I saw that wherever Master Zhiguang went, everyone saluted and received worship everywhere. The master has no friendship, I was afraid that the master would not believe my one-sided words, and I was afraid that the news would be leaked, so I simply refused to do it, and continued to find a loophole to snatch Master Zhiguang away."

When everyone saw him doing such disrespectful things, they all thought he was audacious.Duan Yu has followed the rules since he was a child, and he has never done such absurd things as kidnapping and fleshing tickets. Hearing his second brother talk about it now, he felt eager to try it.

Qiao Feng said to Zhiguang: "Second younger brother has lived overseas for a long time, refused to obey the teachings, and offended the master a lot. Qiao Feng apologized to the master on his behalf." Zhiguang shook his head with a smile, and said: "Li Tanyue is serious. He is fighting with the old monk and playing tricks. playing."

Li Xiaoyao bowed his hands to Zhiguangyao to apologize, and then said: "I was afraid that one monk would not be enough. I thought that good things would come in pairs, so I turned my idea on Master Xuanku. Seeing him, he is an eminent monk in Shaolin. He is highly respected. He is a martial arts hero. Then I thought in my heart, with the testimony of these two masters, this wave is stable."

Master Xuanku has a firm Buddha heart, but he has no choice but to meet such a temperamental person.Said: "Amitabha, half a year ago the White Horse Temple unearthed a copy of the original "Two Billion Sutras of Salmonella" that was passed down from Tianzhu when Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty passed down. It is difficult for the senior brothers in the temple to distinguish the true from the false. When Senior Brother Xuanci got the news, he ordered the old monk to bring the book hidden in Shaolin The rubbings of the Tianzhu text, went to the White Horse Temple, and confirmed the authenticity with the brothers. That evening, the old monk was sitting idle in the meditation room, and Li Tanyue sneaked into the temple. It has been nearly ten years since I have been able to use supernatural powers, and this is the first glimpse of the door.”

Wang Yuyan was taken aback, and said: "I heard that the six supernatural powers of Buddhism, all kinds of magic, are not human arts. I didn't expect this Xuanku master to be able to practice one of them. Everyone said that Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin is the number one master of Xuanzi generation. This Xuanku master is more than anything."

Bao Ditong smiled wryly, and said: "No, no, as an apprentice, he can practice the legendary kung fu of 'Capturing the Dragon', and as a master, it is extremely reasonable to practice a supernatural power in the legend of gods and monsters." , as a matter of course?" Feng Bo'e and Azhu Abi had already listened stupidly, and nodded their heads.

But I heard Li Xiaoyao say: "Master Xuanku has extraordinary supernatural powers. My lightness kung fu was practiced in the sea tide. It is extremely fast and leaves no trace on the snow. Who knows that when I approached the Zen room, the master smashed Xingzang."

Xuan Ku said: "Li Tan Yue is too modest. Among the people I know, there is no one who is better than you in lightness kungfu. The senior brothers in the White Horse Temple are obsessed with Buddhism and are not good at martial arts. I am worried that he will be disadvantageous to the senior brothers in the White Horse Temple. Overwhelmed by his own strength, he blocked it with a shot. It really is "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead", the wood-burning saber technique that I have practiced hard all my life, was actually defeated by Li Tanyue's sword."

Everyone was shocked when they heard that Shaolin Xuanku confessed his defeat, this Li Xiaoyao looks like he is only in his twenties, even if he started practicing martial arts in the womb, he shouldn't have such a record.

Li Xiaoyao shook his head and said: "Master is unarmed, I'm just trying my best to protect myself by taking advantage of my magic weapon, it doesn't count. I see that Master's martial arts are profound, but the method of beating a sap and wearing a sack is useless." Everyone saw him. With a look of regret on their faces, they all have strange faces.They looked at Master Zhiguang one after another, and many good-natured people had already imagined in their minds that Master Zhiguang would be in a sack of misfortune by chance.Duan Yu, Wang Yuyan and A'Zhu were thinking very fast and young at heart, they had no choice but to hold back their laughter.

Li Xiaoyao went on to say: "Since you can't beat it, let's change another method. I have borrowed Master Zhiguang's portable rosary in advance, and now I took it out, and lied to him: 'You don't want Monk Zhiguang's life?" Master Xuan Ku said Monk De Gao, you really stopped. I used this as an excuse to lead Master Zhiguang outside the wall of the backyard of Ma’s courtyard. Before that, Master Zhiguang was hidden in a tree by me. At this moment, two great monks are here. Help, find out the truth, and return Mrs. Ma's innocence."

Speaking of this, Master Xuanku sighed and said: "Amitabha, there are all kinds of causes yesterday and all kinds of fruits today. For the past ten years, I have been practicing Tianertong. There is a conspiracy against my own apprentice."

Master Zhiguang closed his eyes and said, "Amitabha. We have heard what Li Tanyue said, and we know that the matter is of great importance. The reputation of the vice-master Ma after his death, Mrs. Ma is a girl, and fame is more important than life. In this matter, if it is just a misunderstanding, everyone will be very happy. But if there is something unbearable to say, the poor monk and senior brother Xuanku must speak uprightly and give justice to the beggar gang. On that tree, I waited for three nights.”

At this moment, everyone looked at Mrs. Ma, and saw that her face was pale and trembling all over, all the elders of the Beggar Clan and the helmsman were all furious and gnashed their teeth.Just waiting for the two masters to explain their words clearly, they will kill this bitch with a knife.

Xuan Ku said: "In the past two nights, there was no movement. The old monk's martial arts are not bad, but senior brother Zhiguang was seriously ill in order to cure the plague in his early years, and he lost all his martial arts. He is very old, and he has been up for two nights, and he is already suffering. The old monk wanted to let it go, but Brother Zhiguang insisted on waiting for a few more days. I couldn't help him, so I had to accompany him. At midnight on the third day, I finally saw a black shadow over the wall and entered the backyard of Ma's house. Li Tanyue carried Senior Brother Zhiguang on his back, and followed him with the old monk until we reached the roof of the main house in the backyard. We removed the tiles and looked down, only to see Mrs. Ma sitting with... Master Quan, drinking wine Have fun."

He stretched out his finger, and everyone followed his finger to see that it was Quan Guanqing.At this moment, Quan Guanqing felt weak all over, seeing Xuan Ku pointing at himself, he shouted loudly: "It's not me, you are Master Qiao Feng, he is Qiao Feng's brother, you hate me for exposing Qiao Feng's life experience, now take revenge and slander me!"

Master Zhiguang clasped his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk and Your Excellency did not know each other before, and they also participated in exposing Qiao Tanyue's life experience, so we must not slander Your Excellency. At that time, Madam Ma took out this letter. , explain Qiao Tanyue's life experience to Your Excellency, and make a plan with Your Excellency, asking Your Excellency to contact your confidantes, communicate with the elders, first expose Qiao Tanyue's life experience, then incite the besiegers to besiege and kill Qiao Tanyue, and finally, take over the leadership by taking the initiative. Beggars. At that time, after many years, the poor monk did not expect to listen to the old stories of Qiao Tanyue again at this moment. His mood was agitated, and his body was shaken. Thanks to Li Tanyue's lightness skill, he carried the poor monk on his back and stood on the tiles As if you were walking on flat ground, you didn't move at all, so you didn't disturb the two of you. Your Excellency stayed in the room with Mrs. Ma, and didn't return until dawn, like this, for three nights in a row. Is there anything wrong?"

Hearing this moment, the members of the Beggar Clan were already impatient, swearing and swearing everywhere, several elders such as Wu Changfeng and other irritable ones had already drawn out their weapons, intending to tear the adulterer and adulterer into pieces.

At this time, I heard Mrs. Ma say: "The concubine is alone and alone, so I dare not compete with Buddhist eminent monks, but people say 'catch the rape and catch the double'. The two masters and this Mr. Li have already found out, why don't you fight?" Catch the two of us on the spot? Please, uncles and uncles, be careful."

After she finished speaking, she fell to the ground and wept, with an indescribable grievance.When everyone saw it, many people were hesitant.
