Chapter 543: Big Deception
The leading eldest brother fled, leaving the younger brothers without any idea. They all talked about it and had no choice but to make an appointment to come here tomorrow to fight again, and then dispersed in a hurry.
The two masters and disciples had no choice but to find someone to inquire about "Xia Ke Xing" and "Bai Xiaosheng". Only then did they know that "Xia Ke Xing" is a place name, but "Bai Xiaosheng" is the most famous storyteller in Nanxiang.
The two of them made a lot of twists and turns, asking around, and finally found the place.
I saw a two-story tall attic standing there, with people coming in and out underneath. Occasionally, I saw a ranger wearing a sword among them. Instead of being afraid, the others showed kindness to them.
The ranger walked with his sword held high, as if he was quite proud of being a ranger.
This is really strange and strange!
The two masters and apprentices climbed up the steps and walked to the door. They saw the three words "Xia Ke Xing" written in flying colors on the huge door plate. There were also a line of large characters on both sides of the door.
When the man saw those two lines of big characters, he felt as if his chest had been hit with a huge force. He was dumbfounded and stood there in a daze, with his mouth wide open, but unable to speak.
After a long time, he took a long breath, his face turned slightly red, and he shouted loudly, "Okay!"
After I finished shouting, I realized that it seemed a little rude.
Looking at it in the blink of an eye, the people around him seemed not to be surprised by his behavior, and some even gave him understanding smiles: Every ranger who comes here because of his reputation will have this kind of behavior when he first arrives here. Behavior.
The two masters and apprentices, who thought they were well-informed, naturally had no idea that their behavior would be seen by others. They were simply two rookies who had just arrived in Nanxiang.
The two people couldn't help but look at the two lines of large characters on both sides of the door.
The right side reads: The Greatest Hero.
The left side reads: For the country and the people.
The knight-errant is despised by the world because he values private justice and despises public law. He lives and dies, and does not love his body. The world is first afraid of him and then disgusted with him.
But these two sentences suddenly pointed out a bright road to the world's knights.
It gives a man the feeling of walking in the dark for a long time, and suddenly a colorful morning glow appears in front of his eyes.
At that moment, he seemed to have an epiphany and sighed, "This sentence alone is enough to comfort me during this trip."
Seeing these two sentences, he suddenly felt that his previous desire to compete with others was somewhat insignificant.
Stepping into the attic, what greeted you was a completely black entrance made of an unknown material.
The crowds coming in and out all passed by on both sides of the entrance. There were also two or three people wearing swords standing in front of the entrance muttering to themselves.
The two masters and apprentices stepped forward and took a closer look. They saw a poem engraved on the entrance door. The title of the poem was the name of the attic: Xia Ke Xing.
"Zhao Ke is wearing a tassel, and Wu is covered with frost and snow. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star..."
As soon as the man read the beginning, he felt the blood all over his body swelled, and he couldn't help shouting, "Okay!"
This sound finally aroused dissatisfaction from others. Seeing the reproachful looks cast by the people around him, the man quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was really quick to speak when I saw such a beautiful sentence."
The man nodded slightly, looked the man up and down, and his eyes fell on the long sword at the man's waist. He understood that he was a member of the same kind, and then his eyes softened and he asked, "Is this gentleman new to Nanxiang? "
“Exactly.”
“I wonder where the fairyland is?”
“Youzhou.”
The other party was shocked, "Has the name of Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng in Nanxiang spread to Youzhou?"
“No. I have been traveling in Guanzhong in the past two years and came across Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng’s masterpiece, so I came here because of its fame.”
"I see."
“How did this gentleman know that someone was born for Lanling Xiaoxiao?”
The man asked curiously.
The other party laughed, pointed at himself, and said, "How many of the rangers who come here are not here because of Lanling Xiaoxiao?"
The man nodded, "That's right."
The two of them smiled knowingly, and then turned their heads to appreciate the poetry on the porch.
When the man saw the sentence "Killing one person in ten steps, leaving no trace for thousands of miles" next to "Speeding like a shooting star", he suddenly subconsciously grasped the long sword at his waist and almost drew it out.
The murderous aura in the poem, coupled with the font with iron strokes and silver hooks, makes people tense up all of a sudden.
By the time he read "Three cups of wine, the five mountains will become lighter", he was already in a deep state of consciousness, and his body seemed to be floating in the air along with the poem.
If it hadn't been for the years of life and death that left him with a trace of sanity, he would probably have had a sword dance on the spot.
…
"Even if the bones of a hero are dead, I will not be ashamed of being a great hero in the world. Who can write to you, the White-headed Taixuan Sutra?"
After reading to the end, the man was still mumbling to himself, repeatedly reciting the two sentences "Even if he dies, the bones of a hero will be fragrant, and he will not be ashamed of the world's heroes." His eyes were blurred, his whole body was tense, and he was trembling slightly at the same time. He only felt that in this state, This is really what I want in my life.
The font on the black porch is as red as blood, just like the hot blood flowing in his body.
Looking down, when he saw the four words "Jincheng Feng Yong" written on the last signature, the man finally breathed a long sigh of relief with a look of reverence in his eyes, "I originally thought that only Lan Ling Xiaoxiaosheng could recognize it." With the word chivalrous, I didn’t expect that there would be another Feng Langjun.”
“Well said, I also wanted to say this.”
The person who had just been chatting with him said from the side, "Every time I enter this knight's shop, I have to observe it here. Feng Langjun's article really wiped away the world's bad views on knights. Based on this article alone, Feng Langjun is already considered a highly respected person among my followers."
"I think so too. I am Han Long and Han Qianyong. This is my disciple Liu Hun and Liu Polu. May I ask your surname?"
When the man heard what the other party said, he felt like a close friend, and he immediately wanted to make friends.
"A certain person named Gongsun Zheng, whose courtesy name is Boyan, is from Longxi."
Gongsun Zheng hugged Han Long and saluted Liu Hun, "I've seen this little brother before."
After the three of them had greeted each other, Han Long said, "Longxi is not far from Hanzhong. Since Brother Boyan is from Longxi, where can I visit Lanling to have a happy life?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Zheng also smiled bitterly, "To be honest with you two, I came here because of the reputation. I have been staying in Nanxiang for two months now. I have inquired about it for a long time, but I have never heard of anyone knowing this person." people."
Han Long couldn't believe it after hearing this, "This Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng is so mysterious?"
"Yes! Even here in Nanxiang, everyone only knows his name but not his person."
Gongsun Zheng sighed.
Han Long couldn't help being disappointed after hearing this.
Gongsun Zheng saw his expression and knew what he meant. He immediately explained, "Brother Qi Yong, there is no need to do this. Even if Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng is not found, it is worthwhile to travel here. "
After hearing this, Han Long nodded and said with relief, "That's right. A certain person just said outside the door that if you can see that 'a great chivalrous person serves the country and the people', then this trip is worthwhile."
“It’s beyond unexpected that I can see an article about Xia Kexing again. It seems that someone is too greedy.”
“Haha, I’m afraid there’s more.” A mysterious smile appeared on Gongsun Zheng’s face, “Brother Qian Yong, just go in, I’m afraid there will be some unexpected surprises.”
“Oh? Then please ask Brother Boyan to lead the way.”
"Okay, please." Gongsun Zheng extended his hand in salute, and said while guiding the two of them inside, "It's perfect that you two have just arrived in Nanxiang, and it's fitting that you settle down at this knight's residence."
“Can I stay here?”
"Not only can you stay and stay, but the food is also rare and delicious. When it comes to Nanxiang storytellers, Bai Xiaosheng is the well-deserved number one. He lectures twice a day, one at noon and one at Youshi. He lives here The head is just convenient for listening to his story."
Gongsun Zheng introduced it as he walked, "The first floor here is a place for dining. This knight has a backyard, which is where he stays."
The three of them crossed the entrance and walked through a short corridor, and their eyes suddenly opened up.
This is a huge space.
A long red blanket is spread on the ground, dividing the hall into two halves. There are tables and chairs on one side and desks on the other side. It depends on everyone's habits, whether they like to sit down to eat or kneel down to eat.
"It's not yet time for Bai Xiaosheng's storytelling. If Brother Qianyong is not hungry, you might as well go to the second floor first."
“The top floor of Xia Ke Xing is the place where knights must go. From above, you can overlook the wonderful scene of evil spirits coming to the world in the distance. Among the four wonders of Nanxiang, if you stay at Xia Ke Xing, you can enjoy two of them.”
Gongsun Zheng said enthusiastically.
There was originally a waiter dedicated to picking up guests at Xia Ke Xing, but when he saw Gongsun Zheng, an old customer, personally leading the new guests upstairs, he immediately bowed his hands to Gongsun Zheng to express his gratitude.
When Han Long got to the second floor and saw the layout inside, he couldn't help but take a breath.
It was actually filled with weapons, including the most common long sword, the Huanshou Sword.
There are also sticks, short spears and other objects, most of which are dark in color, and it is hard to tell whether they are made of iron or wood.
Among the many weapons, the one in the middle is a sword standing on a counter.
I saw that the total length of the knife was about seven feet, the blade was three feet long, the handle was four feet long, and there was an iron drill underneath.
The blade is somewhat similar to a Zhanma sword. It is slightly curved, extremely sharp, and shines coldly. Thunder clouds and lightning are engraved on the blade, and blood grooves are cleverly made.
The whole sword looks noble and aloof.
“This is...the Purple Lightning Sword?”
Liu Hun recognized it at a glance and shouted excitedly.
“Brother Polu has a good eye, this is the Purple Lightning Sword.”
“So this is what the Purple Lightning Sword looks like?”
If there is a purple electric sword, there will naturally be a blue frost sword.
What he saw standing across from the purple electric sword was a gleaming sword.
The shape of the sword is not beyond imagination, only the guard and hilt are made uniquely and delicately, full of nobility.
The blade of the sword is very cold. At a glance, you can tell that it is a rare sword in the world.
“Didn’t you say that these two swords have been broken?”
Liu Hun rushed to the counter, stretched his neck, and looked at it carefully.
The shopkeeper next to him had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. He came over and explained enthusiastically, "I want to teach this gentleman that this is a copy made by our knight shop and is not the real thing."
“I see, but even if it’s a replica, it looks like a rare treasure!”
Even someone as calm as Han Long praised him.
"Of course it is a treasure. Not to mention the two precious swords and swords, even those long swords are also rare. The swords commonly used are like scrap metal in front of these swords."
Gongsun Zheng took off the long sword from his waist and handed it to Han Long, "It took me two months to buy this sword from here. Brother Qian Yong can take a look."
Han Long made a "clang" sound, slightly pulled out the sword, and the coldness rushed towards him.
Han Long returned the sword to Gongsun Zheng and looked at the weapons inside, his eyes full of desire, "Are these weapons for sale?"
Gongsun Zheng nodded and said, "Sell. But we don't accept money, food, gold, silver, etc. We can only exchange for the reward."
“What is a reward?”
The shopkeeper was very alert and quickly handed over a brochure.
“Brother Qianyong, please take a look. Here are the bounties entrusted by others to the knights. As long as you complete one of the items here, there will be a corresponding bounty. As long as you accumulate enough bounties, you can exchange your favorite weapons here.”
“Escort Mao Bu to Wudu Qishan…”
“There is a barbarian tribe in the East Wolf Valley of Wudu that is doing evil. Scout its terrain, kill its leader, and complete one of them, and you can get half of the reward..."
Han Long opened the book and saw that each page was written with what he had to do and the reward he could get after completing it. The difficulty was different, and the reward was different.
There is even a reward offered by the government: "There is an evil ranger named Wang Da, who kills several innocent people and orders them to be arrested, dead or alive. You can ask the knight for more details, or you can go to the government office..."
After listening to Gongsun Zheng’s explanation, Liu Hun saw his favorite weapon inside. He couldn’t help but stepped forward to look at it for a while and asked, “Can I buy this horse with the reward?”
"This gentleman has good eyesight. Apart from the purple lightning and green frost, this horse tree is the most precious. These three are all treasures that cannot be exchanged for rewards."
“Why?”
"Because these three treasures were placed here specially by Feng Langjun, and he asked Bidian to help find a suitable person."
“Feng Langjun?”
As soon as these words came out, not only Liu Hun, but also Han Long also looked up.
When they saw the song "Xia Ke Xing" in the entrance hall, they knew that this place must be closely related to Feng Langjun. Unexpectedly, Feng Langjun actually put something here?
“What does it mean to be a destined person?”
Liu Hun asked eagerly.
“This, even a villain doesn’t know.”
The shopkeeper shook his head.
“What’s the point of this? Put it here, but don’t tell how to get it...”
Liu Hund was very dissatisfied.
"Feng Langjun left a message, Zidian Qingshuang, and this horse-steed are treasures in the world. If they are not destined to be with them, they will not be sold even if they are ten thousand taels of gold (a lie). If they are destined to be with them, they will not be sold." , don’t take anything, or you can give it away (truth with conditions).”
It’s a mysterious thing to say, but these rangers just do this.
They saw the sentence "A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people" before they entered the door. They also read "Xia Ke Xing" as soon as they entered the door.
Normally, loyalty comes first, but now after hearing these words, I feel that Feng Langjun is really one of his own, and he is also the kind of hero who regards money as dung and can give thousands of gold to those who share the same loyalty.
If anyone among them has listened to the commentary of "Unparalleled Loyalty and Righteousness", their blood will boil with excitement, and they may want to kill their necks.
Cut one's neck, that is, wipe one's neck.
Don't underestimate the importance that knights in the Han Dynasty attach to loyalty. The saying "if you live or die, you don't love your body" is not an exaggeration.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a heroic hero Guo Xie who was famous for a while. Not only were the knights willing to kill people for him and took the responsibility for him, but they did not want him to know about it.
When he was hunted by the government, the people who helped him hide would even commit suicide on the spot in order to avoid leaking his traces when faced with the government's questioning.
Now that the world has been in chaos for decades, the world's knights and knights have gradually disappeared. They no longer have the grandeur of the knights traveling all over the world during the Han Dynasty.
After all, no matter how awesome the Rangers are, they can’t stop the rolling wheels of history!
Although the number of these rangers in Nanxiang is not large now, there are only about a dozen of them, they all come from all over because of their fame.
But they didn’t know that the Feng Haoxia in their minds was a ghost king who ate people without spitting out their bones.
Because the number of rangers who disappeared in the mines... was several times more than the number of rangers who stayed and lived well in Nanxiang.
The rangers who can survive in Nanxiang are those who are willing to abide by the order of Nanxiang and have the prospect of reform. In other words, they are those who have been deceived into lameness, or are about to be deceived into lameness.
It is not a lie that some people are willing to cut their necks to follow the knight who was deceived and became lame, coupled with the habit of attaching great importance to loyalty.
Feng's magical skill of deception has a long history and is not something that ordinary people can resist.
From the moment You Xiaer read the biographical novel, he was already deceived.
When they took the trouble to come to Nanxiang and heard the storyteller's commentary, that was their first entry point.
For example, master and apprentice Han Long, the moment they stood at the door of "Xia Ke Xing", they were already getting better.
When they read "Xia Ke Xing", it is the beginning of their journey into the urn.
This is a marketing tool and a psychological tactic.
At this time, when he heard the shopkeeper's narration of Feng Langjun's words, he looked solemn at the moment, "So that's it. It seems that someone is too frivolous and has soiled Feng Langjun's friendship. It's rude and disrespectful."
