Chapter 2 Dragon and Cauldron When he saw this cloud pattern, the experience of ten years ago seemed to flash before Li Guan's eyes. I have been hiding outside for ten years, and I have been hiding for ten years. These ten years have been peaceful. But now, this illusory bubble-like calm has been broken. The cloud patterns from ten years ago have reappeared, and the smell of blood lingers on the tip of my nose. The strong man's hands were as if they were made of iron, and Li Guanyi tried his best to break them, but it had no effect at all. The strong man held the waist knife with one hand, and his tiger eyes swept left and right with evil aura. No one around him dared to speak. There were only the suppressed cries of pain and gasps from the three warriors. This cry of pain made everyone even more pale. This is the largest medicine shop on the old street in the east city of Guanyicheng City. The three warriors hired to protect the hospital usually use millstones to practice their strength. They can easily cut down a thick tree as big as a bowl with one knife, but they were kicked so hard that they couldn't get up for a long time. , everyone just covered their mouths and noses with panic on their faces. Looking at the young man being lifted up by the neck, his eyes were full of pity. Only the shopkeeper of Huichun Hall hurriedly bent down and trotted over, with a flattering smile on his face. He took the strong man's arm and stuffed a bulging pocket into his sleeve, while humbly saying with a smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this military master, is there a misunderstanding somewhere?"
"Our Huichun Hall is a time-honored brand in Guan Yicheng. We do small business in a responsible manner and have always abided by the law. How could we cover up the imperial court's wanted criminals? Is there some misunderstanding? Let's talk slowly." "This child is not in good health. I'm afraid he might kill someone. It's unlucky to have blood on the hands of the military master." The big man glared and cursed: "Humph, you smooth-talking old pig and dog, do you mean that I have wronged you, grandpa?" He threw Li Guanyi away with a casual flick of his hand, and with his right hand, the bulging money bag fell into his robe. Perhaps it was because the old shopkeeper had brought the money, Li Guanyi was not hit against the wall, but only against the table. The solid wood table cracked and the young man fell heavily to the ground. There was a flash of red light in the bronze cauldron at his heart. Li Guan felt a sharp pain in his back, but his heart was not hurt. His back was probably bruised and swollen. He reluctantly turned over and lay there, hiding his face. The next thing I felt calmed down in an instant—— Not here to find yourself. The shopkeeper tried to talk and plead, and even brought up his relationship with a big shot in the city, but it was of no use. The big man raised his hand, and a group of big men carrying knives rushed into the Huichun Hall like crazy. Violently rummaged through the medicine cabinet. In just a short time of burning incense, the Huichun Hall was in a mess. Different medicines were piled on the ground, the fragrance of various medicines was diffused, and every room was rummaged through. The pharmacists and doctors of Huichun Hall had earth-colored faces, and their hands and feet were weak. They stood among them and wanted to speak, but no sound came out. Li Guanyi lay on the ground and watched the young man walk in. The big man stepped forward quickly, bowed and saluted, and said, "Sir." The young man raised his hand to fan himself, and stepped over Li Guanyi with his spotless boots. As if disgusted with the medicinal materials scattered on the ground, he stepped on the young man's back and stepped over. Li Guanyi's back was bruised and swollen. , being stepped on by this foot, the pain was excruciating, but he just remained silent. The young man's clothes were clean and luxurious, the sleeves of his right arm were hanging down, and there were dense white cloud patterns. He said lightly: "did not find?" The big man said respectfully: "I have searched several times, but I have indeed never found it." The old shopkeeper smiled apologetically. The young man didn't even look at it, he just nodded and said calmly: "It looks like the thief is cunning, the shopkeeper..." The old shopkeeper said quickly: "Yes, yes, please give me your orders." The young man raised his hand and took out a scroll, shook it suddenly, rolled it downwards and unfolded it, saying, "Have you seen this person?"
The old shopkeeper took a closer look and saw a middle-aged man drawn in a few strokes on the scroll. His hair and beard were curly, his leopard head ringed with eyes. Even in the painting, he had a formidable aura that made people feel frightened. It was as if he had seen a humanoid dragon. The old shopkeeper shuddered in fright and subconsciously said: "No, no. ,do not know……" The young man looked at him, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he used secret techniques to confirm that the shopkeeper had indeed never seen this man before. Raising his chin slightly, the strong man next to him took out a piece of paper and threw it over, shouting: "Give grandpa all the medicine here and let me move it out!" The young man said calmly: "The fugitive has been injured and needs these medicines to heal his injuries." "The medicine in your place has been allocated by the government. When the key culprit is caught, it will be returned in full." The old shopkeeper groaned in his heart and almost cried out. The official has two mouths, how can he spit out the things he put in? Seeing that this big man was fierce and barbaric, he didn't dare to reply, so he had to let these strong men with swords carry away all the medicine. Apart from the normal medicinal materials, they also took away most of the tonic medicines such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. The shopkeeper knew that this was a convenient attack on the autumn wind. Looking at the man, he just dared to be angry but dared not speak. The young man in black clothes with moire walked out, followed closely by the strong man, who leaned over to help the young man get on the horse. The strong man looked around, shook his hands and nailed the scroll to the signboard of Huichun Hall. The scroll floated down and unfolded, loudly. He said: "This man is a repeat offender of the imperial court and intends to rob the prison. Anyone who finds any trace of this man should go to the Yamen." "If this is true, everyone will receive a reward of five hundred taels of silver." One tael of silver is the same, and silver is expensive, ranging from about one hundred to two hundred coins. Five hundred taels, I'm afraid it will cost 600,000 yuan. Generous! The onlookers knew immediately that this person was probably a vicious criminal. Whose prison would he have robbed to get such a high reward? However, no matter what, this person must be extremely dangerous. The group of people came and went like the wind, and in an instant they had rushed to another large medicine store. The strong man ran like a flying horse, leaned next to the young man and laughed loudly: "Your Excellency, the thief is seriously injured and must use these medicinal materials to heal his wounds. Let's just evacuate all the medicinal materials from several cities around here, haha Haha, depending on how he heals, I’m afraid we won’t need to take action.” The young man said calmly: "Yue Qianfeng's martial arts is peerless, he has the dragon and tiger dharma, and he ranks 42nd on the dharma list." "Even if he is injured by the combination of the general and the contemporary female swordsman from Luzhou Sword House, he will not die so easily." "Besides, Wanli tracking dogs have been dispatched." The strong man was slightly startled, then suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So that's it. On the surface, we confiscated the medicinal materials and planned to force Yue Qianfeng to come out. In fact, we were giving him a show to numb him. It would be best if he came out. Get up, wait until the Wanli tracking dog comes, and you can find him directly!" The young man said: "There is a third one." The strong man made a gesture of listening attentively. The young man said slowly: "There is a shortage of medicine in the government office." He was riding on a tall horse, overlooking the people coming and going around him, and said calmly: "We protect the people, but without me, how can they live a good life?" "Just borrow some for use." "It just so happens that we have this opportunity, so we don't have to find another way to get the medicine. It also saves you and me time. These little people can be used by you and me. It can also be regarded as contributing to the family and the country, which is more than honorable." ………… "Oops, it hurts."
"Hiss - be gentle, be gentle..." "It hurts." There was a burst of mourning in the Huichun Hall. Someone was packing the medicine, and someone was helping the three martial arts masters up. Old doctor Chen helped Li Guanyi up, looked at the young man's back with bruises, sighed, and said: "It was a heavy fall, but luckily I didn't hurt my heart. I'm lucky." "I'll prescribe some ointment for you. Apply it when you go back. It will make you feel better faster." Li Guanyi grimaced in pain, which made Mr. Chen laugh. The smile on the old doctor's face disappeared and he looked outside and said, "Oh...it's coming so hard. I'm afraid the pharmacies and hospitals in the city will be ruined. I don't know who to put on a show for, but here it comes again." Li Guanyi said: "It's fine as long as it has nothing to do with us." The old doctor sighed: "Yes, these Tiqi people are always so domineering. Look at these medicinal materials. They are either nourishing the Qi or calming the mind. This time, I am afraid it is not because of some fugitives at all. It is just that they lack medicine for their own practice. Come to us." A bite on the body.” Li Guanyi took the medicine from the doctor's hand and said softly: "Mr. Chen, there are many people with mixed ears." The old man stopped talking, gave the young man some more tonics, patted him on the shoulder, and went on his own. The guests at Huichun Hall were all gone, and the atmosphere in the store was gloomy. Li Guanyi was injured and went back earlier. On the way back, he bought a roast chicken, a pot of old wine, and a few steamed buns. He walked slowly to his house. He lived in a relatively remote area, so he took a chance on a remote trail, and he was the only one walking on it. There is the Temple of Ruined Mountain ahead. He stopped. The bronze tripod at Li Guanyi's chest began to heat up slightly. The red jade liquid inside the bronze cauldron brand slowly began to accumulate, and the cold feeling of toxins was expelled again, replaced by healthy vitality. The bronze cauldron lit up slightly, and a breath flowed into his eyes, allowing him to see directly with the naked eye. Some special existence. He raised his head, and there was a light blue light in his eyes. In his sight, a creature that transcended ordinary life was slowly hovering over the mountain temple. The red scales are flowing with the clouds, and they are resting quietly. The clouds seem to be connected with the clouds and mists in the sky. Behind them is the city, the scholars who are walking around, the shy and timid beauties, the green horses ticking along the ancient road, and the heads shaking their heads. doctor and children running and joking. All this is like crawling under the body of this existence. That existence was so huge, and it looked down at the little boy in front of the temple so peacefully. Dragon. Li Guan calmed down and felt the imprint of the bronze tripod gradually accumulating jade liquid. He lowered his head, ignored the dragon, and entered the mountain temple, which few people had come to this year. Inside the dilapidated temple, he raised his head and his gaze skilfully landed on the edge of the dilapidated temple. There sat a beggar. He has a tall figure that is definitely not found in ordinary beggars, his shabby clothes are stained everywhere, his eyes are closed, his eyebrows are messy, his back is straight, his thick palms are resting on his knees, his beard and hair are rising and falling in the wind, he sits there quietly and calmly, Like a silent tiger in the night. It is exactly the same as the portrait hanging in the Hall of Rejuvenation. (End of this chapter)
