Erdaoheihe Town is located at the foot of Changbai Mountain and is an important gateway to and from Changbai Mountain from the south. In the summer and autumn, this place is crowded with merchants who come to purchase medicinal materials and furs, as well as those tenacious hunters, ginseng pickers, and spies from the imperial court. In previous years, during the winter, apart from local residents and businessmen who stayed here for the winter, there would be no other visitors. It's just that this year, the place is not as deserted as before, but there are more serious and weird-looking people here. These people may be dressed as swordsmen, wearing bamboo hats, holding knives in their hands, and their eyes are cold. Some were dressed like hunters and looked cold. Others were just wearing ordinary clothes, like businessmen or civilians, sitting in teahouses on the street all day long. Although the chat was lively, there was only a cup of tea and a drawer of cold steamed buns in front of them. . Yin Xiu led the horse into the town. At this time, he had used [Thousands of Changes] to look like an old medicine farmer he had seen before. His face was weathered, he was wearing a felt hat, and his clothes were simple and even a little shabby, but he was warm and down-to-earth. As soon as Yin Xiu walked past the archway standing at the front, he felt eyes from all around him piercing his body, and then quickly turned away.
Apparently this outfit made him look so "ordinary" that those people didn't want to waste much energy on him. This also shows that Erdao Heihe Town has indeed received a lot of attention as previously thought. Yin Xiu walked to the teahouse, handed the horse to the waiter in front of the door, strode in, and sat down at a table in the corner. This was the only table left that could see the street from the second floor. . "One pound of roasted knives, half a roasted chicken, one plate of beef with soy sauce, two ounces of celery and pork dumplings, one green onion, that's it." After Yin Xiu patted a few silver coins on the table, the food and wine were served after a while. He held the wine glass in his hand, shook it a few times after taking a sip, and looked at the street, occasionally putting food into his mouth. Such rich dishes are obviously in contrast to those tables where only steamed buns and cold tea are served, but people are chatting lively. Yin Xiu only occasionally turned around to pay attention to what they were talking about. "In "Records of the Three Kingdoms", when Guan Yunchang Huarong defended Cao Mengde, it was not because he was kind-hearted, but because he did not dare to fight. At that time, Cao Cao's power had already exceeded the eighth level due to the defeat of Chibi, and he was far away from his ninth-level true body. With only half a step left, the magnetic field rotates as high as 9,800 horses. In contrast, although Guan Yunchang received three points of Lu Bu's Martial God inheritance, his origins were different from Cao Mengde's. At that time, he had not yet reached the ultimate Martial God mode that shocked Kyushu and had a magnetic field that exceeded 11,000 rotations, so he could not compete with him. Only then did he let him go. Otherwise, with Guan Yunchang's force at the time, how could he not have captured him? " "That's it, that's it! I couldn't understand it before, but now it suddenly becomes clear." "So people should read more books and paintings to cultivate their sentiments!" "That is, that is." "Damn, what a bunch of psychos." Yin Xiu cursed secretly and continued drinking. While he was drinking, another person sat down opposite. "Friend, take a seat." "Friend, there are seats everywhere here, you should go elsewhere." Yin Xiu said expressionlessly.
"However, there is only one table where you can sit and see the street." The man replied. "What, you have a lot to see?" Yin Xiu looked up and saw a man sitting across from him. He was nine feet tall, as tall as an iron tower, with dark skin, a pair of provocative ears, a high nose, and gleaming eyes. Seeing Yin Xiu looking at him, the man didn't reply and just started talking to himself. "My name is Bai Xi. I am nicknamed Iron Hand Yama by the Jianghu people. I practice an iron sand palm. By the age of thirty, I have gained access to internal and external knowledge through practicing kung fu. My energy has penetrated my whole body. By the age of thirty-five, I have entered the profound entrance. Jiuzhong, completely invulnerable, every drop of blood produces flowers.” "Not bad." Yin Xiu said calmly. "Oh?" Bai Xi raised his eyelids, and then smiled: "Sure enough, I saw you right. From the moment you walked in, I knew you were not simple." "Well?" Yin Xiu looked at him and said, "I'm just an old man." "The old man is an old man. I can't see any trace of disguise on you. However, from the time you walked on the street to the time you went upstairs, your steps were strong, your breath was steady, and your shoulders were steady. I knew it at a glance. You are a practitioner, and the most advanced one." Yin Xiu took a deep breath and said nothing. Even though he had used magic to look like someone else, he still couldn't hide his movements and temperament. It's okay if it's the first time they meet him, but if they meet him a few times, like Liu Banxian, they can recognize him through communication and contact. It's just that Yin Xiu didn't expect that Bai Xi in front of him was an expert who could observe words and expressions and pick him out from the crowd of ordinary people just by walking. However, it seems that Yin Xiu's true identity has not yet been recognized. So after a pause, Yin Xiu said again: "It seems that the two of us have no grievances or enmities?" "We are both passers-by, how can we have any grudges?" Bai Xi took out his pipe from his pocket, lit it by himself, and blew out a mouthful of fiery white smoke. "I don't like to make enemies with others. I only like to practice martial arts." "Martial arts practitioners, come to the foot of Changbai Mountain this month? Sightseeing, traveling?" Yin Xiu asked. "When I got to the bottom of the platform, I just wanted to climb one more step up. I lacked someone to help me." "I see." Yin Xiu smiled and said, "Want to find someone to help you and compare notes?" "That's right, all the masters from the north are here now. Those who practice swordsmanship, those who practice boxing, those who wield big guns, those inside the palace, those outside the palace, all kinds of people, from well-known and upright families to crooked ones. It is those who hone the blade. good chance." "Then you just go find them. None of the tables sitting here and staring at us are good-natured." "They're not kind, but they're just a bunch of weaklings!" When Bai Xi made such a loud noise, people at several tables around him immediately patted the tables, stood up, and stared at him blankly.
Yin Xiu held her head in her hands, tapped her feet lightly on the edge of the table, and took a big step back with her chair, indicating that the matter had nothing to do with her. Bai Xi was stared at by so many people, but his face remained calm. "These people don't eat the food of the imperial court, but they all want to serve the imperial court." "My dog also wants to carry the court's bowl." Yin Xiu sneered, "However, it is natural for dogs to lie down on the ground to eat, but if people lie down on the ground to eat too, they will be humiliating themselves." Bai Xi smiled, "But some people only regard this as an honor, not a shame, so what should I say?" "I thought that educating others was the job of teachers, monks, and saints, not mine." Yin Xiu stood up, drank the remaining wine in the cup, put her hands in her sleeves and walked out. "Oh, right." Bai Xi suddenly stopped him, "Aunt Lian told me about you." "where is it?" "Of course it's in Wenling." Bai Xi's eyes were red, "I was supposed to die there, but Aunt Lian said I had more important things, so I hurried northward that night and missed the fire." "So, you already know who I am?" "That day I glanced at you from a distance through the crowd. When you were fighting against Lian Gu, those actions and expressions were engraved in my mind and I can't forget them." "Then you won't seek revenge from me?" "You didn't kill the person, so why should I seek revenge from you? Besides, Aunt Lian said, you are a real man with heroic spirit. No matter who I hate, I will not hate you, because heroes always cherish each other. Although I never think that I am a hero, but if Aunt Lian says that I am, then I will be a hero and a hero. " "I see." Yin Xiu's somewhat cloudy eyes rolled around a few times, "But it's not easy to be a hero." "I know it's always difficult to be a hero." Bai Xi took a deep breath, "Gu Lian told me that she had read a martial arts novel called "War and Peace." It is about a story in France, when Napoleon was about to enter the city, and everyone in Paris ran away. There was an old man who was going to fight against Napoleon's army alone, but was finally caught by the army for target shooting. I don't read much and have never read that novel, but Lian Gu liked the old man very much and said that what he did was no different from what she did, like an egg hitting a stone and a moth flying into the flame. I think Aunt Lian likes that kind of person, so I’ll try to be that kind of person. " "You like Lian Gu?" Yin Xiu asked. "She is dead and was executed in Yujing." Bai Xi's voice was a little heavy, "She is no longer in this world, so why should I taint her name and just let her go away innocently." Yin Xiu understood his thoughts and nodded: "Gu Lian is indeed an amazing woman."
"That's right!" When Bai Xi looked up again, there was light in his eyes, "I came to you just to get such a sentence from your mouth. Because there are not many people who have seen her in Wenling, and now you let me hear I’m grateful for this.” "You are welcome." Yin Xiu turned her head and glanced at the angry people in the teahouse, "Do you want me to help you?" "No need, I said, they're just a bunch of cowards, it's no big deal. If you want to leave, do it now, otherwise there will be too many people and you won't be able to leave." "I know, thank you." Yin Xiu lowered his head and walked downstairs. "Are you also a gangster?" Someone immediately reached out to stop him. As soon as the man stretched out his hand, he heard a blast of wind and a stool rotated and smashed his head. Then Bai Xi jumped over like a beast out of the cage, slapped the man's throat with his palm, and heard a crisp sound. The man's neck twisted several times, and he immediately died. The others immediately ignored Yin Xiu and ran towards Bai Xi with roars. "The masters in the palace are handling the case, and everyone else is waiting to get out of the way! Otherwise, shoot without mercy!" "The Whale Gang is doing its job, anyone who dares to block it will die!" "The Mandrill Sect is under the imperial decree! Apprehend the traitors!" There was a sudden burst of fists and kicks in the teahouse, leaving behind a blur of afterimages. Under the teahouse, there are also figures climbing up to the second floor and heading towards Bai Xi. "White Lotus Protector King Bai Xi is here, who dares to be presumptuous!" As soon as he finished speaking, there were several more crisp sounds of bones breaking. It was obvious that someone else's bones had been broken by Bai Xi. "Farewell." Yin Xiu quickly came down the stairs and bumped into the shopkeeper and waiter who were looking sad. "What's wrong?" Yin Xiu asked. The shopkeeper bared his teeth in distress, "When they fight, all my work for the past half month has been in vain." Yin Xiu looked up and said, "Stop opening a restaurant and open a coffin shop instead. A lot of people will die here today." "But is it too late to get into the coffin now?" "What's so late?" Yin Xiu glanced at him sideways, "If you don't eat rice today, you can eat it tomorrow, but the dead can't wait for a moment. No one would ever say to a person who is suffering from an acute illness: You wait and then die. Today everyone still can't wait." Not prepared." "You are quite humorous." The boss bowed.
"Is it funny?" Yin Xiu left the restaurant expressionlessly. …… With Yin Xiu's warning, everyone immediately understood that this trip to Erdao Heihe Town was extremely dangerous. However, when they broke into the archway, they found that the situation in front of them was far more terrifying and severe than Yin Xiu said. I saw civilians who originally looked ordinary and honest, but now they were holding swords, guns and sticks in their hands, flying over the walls and rushing towards the tea house. That is the only way through the entire Erdao Heihe Town, so even if they are a little nervous, everyone can only move forward. Yin Xiu and Ren Qi walked in the front, their horses' necks touching their necks, their knees brushing against their knees. Ren Qi twitched his nose and paid no attention to the chaos around him. "Did anyone help us?" "That's right, a White Lotus Sect." Yin Xiu said calmly. "White Lotus Sect?" Ren Qi was a little surprised at first, and then smiled coldly, "Doesn't he know that if he lets you go, more White Lotus sect will die?" "Maybe he knows, but he doesn't care." "Of course he doesn't care. He's a dying person and can't care about so many things. He only cares about the present. As for the so-called future, tomorrow is none of his business." Ren Qi lightly stabbed the horse's butt with his heel, and the horse started to trot. Obviously they had to step up their pace and pass quickly while Bai Xi attracted the entire town's troops. However, not everyone was attracted by Bai Xi. At the front of the road, three people blocked their steps. The three men were carrying large guns that were taller than themselves, squatting or standing, their eyes piercing Yin Xiu and Ren Qi who were walking in front. Ren Qi signaled the team to move forward and rode up to meet them. "What? Don't you go over there to help?" "No need. No matter how good the guy's martial arts skills are, if he is surrounded by so many people, he will die sooner or later. I took a look and his clothes were stained with blood. He no longer needs our three shots from the North." "Oh? You three are the Three Guns of the North?" "Why, have you heard of our name?" "I heard." Ren Qi did not get off the horse, but continued to drive the horse forward. "When I was in Cangzhou before, I heard about your names and said that each of you learned one-third of Liu Shun's skills. You can't beat anyone separately, and you can't beat anyone together. You even killed Liu Shun. .” "That was just a misunderstanding."
One of them said: "He refuses to eat from the imperial court and must go with the rebels, so..." "So, it's not a misunderstanding." Ren Qi said coldly. "No matter what, you can't get through today." The three stood up and crossed their spear heads together, the cold light shining. Ren Qi said nothing, but continued to move forward on his horse. When the distance between the two sides was only five steps, the three men could no longer restrain their murderous intent. With a roar, three spears stabbed Ren Qi's shoulders and face. Ren Qi moved his hands slightly, and heard the sound of iron weapons. Three spears were broken into two pieces, and three heads rose into the sky. Ren Qi had no expression on his face and just rode his horse through the corpses, as if he was just kicking a wild dog to death on the roadside. Yin Xiu glanced towards the teahouse, and the sound of fighting seemed to be close to her ears. However, he only glanced at it and continued to move forward. "Thank you." (End of chapter)
