The Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness of Crossing

When Shuangxia returned to the inn, it was already sunset.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, several double-petaled pomegranates in the courtyard bloomed more and more gorgeously.

Standing with his back under the tree, Bai Yutang heard the footsteps of the two heroes, turned around happily, and asked, "Get some medicine, how did it take so long? But did you run into trouble on the way?"

"No." Ding Zhaohui replied lightly, "One medicine is hard to find, and I went to several shops to prepare it, so it took some time."

"I expect you to be fine." Bai Yutang smiled reassuringly, "Pan Pan insisted on not believing her and urged me to go to the pharmacy to look for you. You said she was a patient with a baby, how could I leave them alone?" In this unfamiliar inn, go out alone. But I can't persuade her, so I have to go downstairs and wait for you in the courtyard."

Ding Zhaohui's heart tightened, but his face remained normal and he said, "Is she better now?"

"I see that she is very tired, she may be sleeping now." Bai Yutang took the medicine bag from Shuangxia's hands, and said, "I'll find a place to decoct the medicine, and you can rest for a while."

A light snort came from the tent, and the person on the couch was soundly asleep.

Since the first meeting in the West Lake that day, I have also rescued Yunniang with Tanxixiangyuan; I have also played double reeds on Qideng's empty island; All of her words and deeds, her smirks and smiles, have been deeply etched in her memory, no matter how time goes by, the imprint will never be erased.

Ding Zhaohui's mood fluctuated, and he stood silently by the bed.After a long time, he murmured: "If you've been like this...you can't watch the flowers bloom or fall, even if I'll accompany you and protect you for the rest of your life, how can you feel at ease? I hope you can take care of yourself and forget each other in the rivers and lakes... ...and An Ran."

Du Langzhong's prescription was extremely effective, and within three days, Pan Pan's wind and cold were already very much better.She thought about going to Muye Mountain as soon as possible, and meeting Yelu Awa face to face as soon as possible.Then they discussed with Ding Bai: "Brothers, how about we set off to find Lie'er's aunt early tomorrow morning?"

"Why rush it for a while?" Bai Yutang said softly, "It won't be too late to start after you recover."

"Fifth brother is right." Shuangxia nodded, "Let's rest for another day, wait for me to set up a guide, and then we will set off the day after tomorrow."

"Forget it..." Pan Pan reluctantly agreed, and as if remembering something suddenly, he turned his head and asked, "Did you ever deliberately hide something from me?"

"That's so unreasonable!" Chinchilla couldn't help being suspicious of others, not to mention that the person who was suspicious right now was Pan Pan, who tried every means to protect him. He patted his chest and said in displeasure, "I am Bai Yu. If you behave like a man, even if you are not upright, at least you are innocent, when will you deceive a woman?"

"I..." Hearing that Bai Yutang was so serious, Pan Pan couldn't help feeling remorseful, and hurriedly said, "I was reckless. Brother Bai, don't take it to heart."

Bai Yutang snorted softly: "How could I be with..." Looking up and seeing Pan Pan's dim eyes, his chest was suffocated, and he said softly, "What are you fussing with... I'll go to the shop to find some milk for Lie Er." Then, the person has flashed out of the room.

"Brother Bai..." Pan Pan only said that the Chinchilla was still angry with her, and in desperation, he went to investigate, but it was all in vain.

When reeling, Shuang Xia stretched out his arms, held her elbow, and led her to the rattan chair to sit down.

"It's not that you don't know Bai Laowu's temper. Why bother to ask him those words." Ding Zhaohui said calmly.

Pan Pan sighed, and said softly: "The words just now... are probably asking you, I don't want to be misunderstood by him."

"You—" Ding Zhaohui's expression changed, and then he regained his composure, "It seems that you never hesitate to speculate on me with the greatest malice. It's just..."

"It's just that I'm already blind," Pan Pan said, cutting off his words, "You can't argue with me."

"Why do you say that?" Ding Zhaohui squatted down to look at her, and said with a wry smile, "Can I still harm you?"

"You can't harm me." Pan Pan said solemnly, "anyone like you who has a reputation as a hero always likes to harm himself. Although we are always at odds, at least we got to know each other, even if it's for you Wake up."

Hearing her words, Shuangxia felt mixed emotions in his heart for a moment, staring at the thin face, hesitatingly said: "I...are you...caring about me?"

Such a gentle tone, but Pan Pan couldn't accept it, waved his hands impatiently and said: "Let's leave it alone, you can interpret it whatever you want." Suddenly, someone grabbed his fingertips, and before she could pull away, The slender wrists have fallen into the wrapping of a pair of big hands.

There was warmth in the palm, burning someone's anger, she shook her hands and stomped her feet vigorously, but the two heroes didn't want to let go, their cheeks were flushed red from their busyness, and they couldn't break free.

"What are you going to do?" Pan Pan was annoyed.

"Take care!" Ding Zhaohui let go slowly and solemnly told her.

The next day is the time for the contest to recruit relatives.Shuangxia said that he was going to the city to buy travel needs, and brought Zhanlu with him to the Nanwang Mansion.

A huge street, crowded with people everywhere.Shopkeepers from all over the world seem to have gathered here, selling food, selling groceries, and occasionally doing handicrafts.Compared with the prosperous places in the Central Plains, it is not inferior at all.

In front of the Nanwang Mansion, it has long been crowded with Xijin people who love to watch the excitement. Inside and outside, there are layers upon layers, and the end is to surround a high platform so that it can't get through.

"The Princess is here!"

"The Princess is here!"

I saw a young girl in Khitan costume, surrounded by guards, boarded the high platform.In the crowd of onlookers, commotion erupted immediately.

Khitan women are different from Han women, they have life-long affairs ahead of them, Princess Ruzhen is not at all reserved, instead she smiles brightly like a spring flower.After being seated, he waved to the audience around the stage more frequently, with a dignified and generous expression, with a unique magnanimity.

Three days ago, the man in Chinese costume who presided over the first test was also seated beside the princess.The two exchanged a few words, and the man in fine clothes pointed at the direction where Ding Zhaohui was standing.The princess's eyes followed, lingering hotly around his body, making the two heroes very uncomfortable.

Ding Zhaohui turned his face away and asked others: "What is the origin of that man who is with the princess?"

"You don't even know Master Yelu, Lord Yelu, the Chengzhi decree of the Southern Court?" The person who answered looked at him in surprise, nodded and said, "It's no wonder, a foreigner? He is the fourth uncle of Princess Ruzhen. The younger brother of Mr. Wang Yeluren. The princess has been close to this uncle since he was a child, so even such important matters as martial arts competitions and recruiting relatives are entrusted to him!" The man was also enthusiastic, chirping back to Datong, Shuangxia said "thank you" three times in a row, but he couldn't get him to shut up.

"Since it's a martial arts competition, we must demonstrate fairness." Yeluxin got up first, picked up a lottery and said loudly, "All the heroes who won the colorful flag three days ago, come on stage to choose an opponent!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen figures flashed out of the audience, some scattered flowers and willows, some stepped on the snow to find plums, all of them leaped to the high platform with the best light kung fu moves.It was the monk who returned to vulgarity to pull the wind, his fat body shot out in the air, landed on the stage and slid for a few steps before stopping, flicking his robe sleeves, he posed in a pose and said: "Pingsha Luoyan." It made everyone laugh. live.

Yeluxin suppressed the idea of ​​sending him to the west first, and said coldly: "After three days away, you should look at him with admiration. Master's skills have improved a lot."

The fat monk was in a good state of mind, and he didn't feel the sarcasm in his words, so he replied triumphantly: "My lord is too famous. Although the little monk is no longer a Buddhist, it is better to keep a low profile when doing things."

Ding Zhaohui couldn't help teasing him and said, "Master, why should you be too self-effacing. Singing low-key when it should be high-key, wouldn't it be off-key."

The monk didn't have time to answer, a Khitan man next to him hummed and said, "I think he's tuned from the beginning to the end, he doesn't know the tune."

The sixteen bone sticks are arranged according to the number of rows in the "Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow, Universe, Primordial, Sun, Moon, Prosperous, Prosperous, and Celestial Places List".The sky is against the earth, the mystery is against the yellow, and so on for the rest.A group of people drew the lottery one by one, and the two heroes got the word "Ying".

When the golden drum is sounded, the corners of the painting are sounded together, and the ranking is arranged, it is the time to catch the debate.The two heroes were originally highly skilled in martial arts, and they had magic weapons in their hands. They won two games in a row without much effort, and Yelvxin secretly nodded at the side first.

But the side of the inn is still kept in the dark by the two heroes.Bai Yutang remembers to ask Pan Pan to rest more before leaving, so he hugs Lie Er and goes out to play early in the morning.

Without the noisy children around, Pan Pan felt a little restless.He lay down with his clothes on for a while, then got up and sat dryly. After sitting for a long time impatiently, he simply stood up and paced the room.She couldn't see the road, and she inevitably stumbled and groped around, but she stumbled several times.Could it be that the rest of my life...will be spent in such darkness?Thinking of this, apprehension spread, which made most of her heart feel ashamed.

There seemed to be someone talking loudly outside the house. Although Pan Pan was blind, his hearing improved a lot, and he could tell that one of them was the waiter of the inn, because they were speaking Chinese, which was fine for his ears.

The boy's voice was full of excitement: "I'm standing very close to the stage of the competition, and Princess Ruzhen is sitting there, and her smile looks prettier than the fairies in the paintings."

Another voice asked urgently: "Who are the people who went up to fight?"

The little guy chuckled and said, "Monks and Taoists, they come from anywhere!" Lowering his voice, he said mysteriously, "There is another person who lives in our inn."

The man didn't believe it: "I see that you are either dazzled or talking nonsense."

"Then how can it be!" The boy retorted, "I've been staying for three nights, and if you hit me every day, will you still miss me?"

The man was still skeptical: "How about Bi De?"

The young man exaggerated: "The man who came out of our inn has amazing swordsmanship. He knocked down two of them without any effort! I look at Junma Bacheng and it should be him!"

The other person took a deep breath and said, "That would be a happy death. Which one of the princess's dowry is not a rare treasure? Silk-wrapped agate, jade spring pine, three-finger snow lotus... do the math, you can eat it for eight lifetimes I won't drop it."

"As for your eye sockets, I really don't know how deep it is." The young man taught him tactfully, "Do you think Nanwang's son-in-law is just as worried about food and clothing as you are all day long? He is rich and powerful, and he has been promoted to a higher position. Will you care about what you just said?"

Suddenly, an old male voice interrupted (entered) and said angrily: "I'm busy in the store, you two little devils are fine, hiding here, grinding your teeth and chewing maggots. Let's see how I deal with you today!"

"Boss, I'm going to feed the horses right now. Don't be so angry!" "Deng dong dong", accompanied by the rapid footsteps, the speaker has already run a long way.

"Where are you going!"

"Ouch!"

The old shopkeeper seemed to have grabbed the other one, and while slapping his hands, he scolded: "I can't see anyone in the early morning...Say! Where did you go so wild?"

"Second brother, please excuse me." Pan Pan suddenly opened the door, "The tea in my room is cold, could you bring a pot of hot water over here?"

As if he had received an amnesty, the waiter hurriedly agreed, "Okay, okay."

The old shopkeeper was helpless, let go of his hand and said, "Hurry up!"

After a while, the young man turned back with a pot of hot tea, poured it attentively, handed it to Pan Pan and said, "Madam, use it slowly, it's still a little hot."

"Thank you." Pan Pan took a sip and put down the teacup, "Second Brother, I have something I want to ask you about."

The young man was about to leave, when he heard this, he hurriedly stopped and said respectfully: "Ma'am, what else can I order?"

"You just said..." Pan Pan felt his mouth dry, took a big sip of tea, but it was hot again, and said in a trembling voice, "You are talking about... which family's princess is recruiting relatives in a martial arts competition?" ?”

Watching her reaction, the young man felt puzzled, and replied stammeringly: "Madam, Madam, don't you know... yes, it's Princess Ruzhen from Nanwang's Mansion."

Pan Pan sat quietly at the side, clasped his hands so hard that even his knuckles turned white.After being silent for a while, he asked again: "Did you see my elder brother also competing on the stage?"

"Yes, that's right..." The boy became even more afraid to speak.

Pan Pan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "How many matches are left?"

"This... this, I don't know much about it." The boy replied with a bitter face.

"I've figured it out, go get busy." Pan Pan waved his hand wearily, and told him, "Remember this matter, and don't mention it to anyone else."

"Understood, I understand, don't worry, ma'am." The young man agreed repeatedly and went.
