Chapter 37: Martial Arts and Procurement (Part 1)
"Brother Ling, what should we do?"
As soon as the four ghosts of the Yellow River left, Guo Jing couldn't wait to ask Ling Muyun. At this time, Guo Jing was just a fledgling boy. Although his martial arts skills were much better than before under Ling Muyun's training, his lack of experience was not taught by people, so he instinctively sought solutions from others when encountering problems.
Ling Muyun said indifferently: "What's that? Just go to the appointment on time at noon tomorrow. Are the four ghosts of the Yellow River defeated? What are you afraid of?"
"But didn't they say that they came here to write a war letter for their uncle? I heard from several masters that the master of the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River is Sha Tongtian, the Dragon King of the Ghost Gate, and is also a well-known and ruthless character in the world. His junior brother is probably not weak either. Can we deal with it?" Guo Jing asked with a little concern.
Ling Muyun glanced at Guo Jing and smiled and said, "Brother Guo, what do you think we should do? Don't go to the appointment and run away halfway?"
Guo Jing shook his head as if he was rattled: "How can you do it? You have already agreed. If you don't go, wouldn't you be untrustworthy? Then shouldn't you let your fellow practitioners laugh at us? If you let some masters know, you will definitely scold me for being useless."
Ling Muyun said: "Brother Guo, you are wrong. Sometimes you have to look at the object of keeping your trust. Not all your trust is to keep. There is a saying that keeps the green mountains without worrying about burning. People need to know how to advance and retreat to be considered smart and wise. If you know it is a trap, you should jump in, that is not called keeping your trust, but stupid."
Guo Jing looked at Ling Muyun in confusion: "Brother Ling, what do you mean is that we won't go to the appointment tomorrow? That's not good."
Ling Muyun smiled slightly and said, "No need. I just told you this reason, so that you will not be taken advantage of by others in the future if you are too honest. As for the date tomorrow at noon, we must go there. Even the Dragon King of the Ghost Gate Sha Tongtian did not see it in my eyes, let alone just a junior brother of his, who can be sent by you at will, why don't you go to the trust?"
"Oh." Guo Jing scratched his head. He understood it now. According to Ling Muyun's meaning, he would go to those who could win the battle, and not go to those who could not win the battle. However, Ling Muyun's concept seemed to have some conflicts with the integrity and promises he had taught him since childhood, which made him feel a little at a loss. Fortunately, he had to go to the date tomorrow, which was not inconsistent with his concept. Moreover, after Ling Muyun's statement, he was very sure of tomorrow's appointment, so he didn't think about it.
After arguing about going to the appointment, the two of them went back to their rooms to rest. The next morning, they had breakfast in the inn, and then returned to their rooms to continue to accumulate energy. When it was almost noon, they paid for the meal, rode out of town, and rode their horses towards the west.
After walking ten miles west, I saw a big pine forest, with branches and leaves covering the sky and the sun. I couldn't see dozens of steps away in the forest. Ling Muyun and Guo Jing got off the horse and entered the pine forest, followed the trail in the forest for about a mile, but there was still no enemy. At a strange moment, I suddenly heard someone in front of me cursing loudly: "Little bastard, bastard, bastard..."
Ling Muyun and Guo Jing walked up to see it, and they were shocked and funny. They saw the four ghosts of the Yellow River hanging high above the four big trees. Each of them was tied up with their hands and feet, swinging around in the air, struggling desperately, but there was no place to leverage their power. They were angry and anxious, and they were scolding there. As for the uncle who asked them to come, they were gone.
Guo Jing smiled and said, "Are you swinging here? Is it fun?"
Ling Muyun couldn't help but feel funny when he listened. After seeing the scriptures, he usually looked stupid, honest and honest. Who would have thought that this honest person would be even more powerful if he teased him.
"Little bastard, you fart, we didn't swing." "His grandma, we were plotted against me." "Boy, let us go if you have the ability."... As soon as Guo Jing said, he immediately caused a shout and scolding from the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River. When the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River were excited, they struggled more violently, and the swaying became even more ridiculous.
Ling Muyun's heart lit up when he saw this scene. He already knew why the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River looked like this. It seems that although he was the unexpected factor, Huang Rong still took the lead in helping to clean up the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River and led away the three-headed Jiaohou Tonghai. It was just that in the original history, Huang Rong took action to help Guo Jing, but this time he didn't know whether Huang Rong wanted to help Guo Jing or himself.
After understanding the reasons, Ling Muyun was not interested in staying here for too long, so he called Guo Jing and left. In fact, Guo Jing was also worried that the uncle of the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River might come back at any time. If he was blocked, it would inevitably be another fierce battle, so he nodded and followed Ling Muyun to go out with Wang Lin.
When the four ghosts of the Yellow River saw Guo Jing and Ling Muyun leaving, they shouted even more: "Good boy, don't run away. If you have the guts, put us down. Let's fight alone and decide the victory or defeat. If the four of us rush forward, they will not be heroes."
Ling Muyun turned around and glared at them, snorted coldly, "Shut up, you four, and let me talk nonsense again, I will make you four dead."
Since he was slapped by Ling Muyun yesterday, the four ghosts of the Yellow River knew Ling Muyun's power and were still quite afraid of him. Seeing him like this, he immediately closed his mouth and did not dare to speak again. He was afraid that he would anger Ling Muyun and kill them. Although it was uncomfortable to be tied up like this, it would be much better than death.
Seeing that the four ghosts of the Yellow River were purified, Ling Muyun continued to walk out of the pine forest with Guo Jing. On the way, Guo Jing was always wondering who was helping him and came to ask Ling Muyun. Although Ling Muyun knew it in his heart, he pretended not to know it, so as not to reveal his ability to "premonition of the future".
Ling Muyun and Guo Jing left the pine forest, got on their own mounts, and chose a way to continue to walk southeast. They stayed overnight and traveled for a day, and on that day they arrived at the city of Yanjing, Zhongdu. This was the capital of the Jin Kingdom and the most prosperous place in the world at that time. Even the old capital of Bianliang and the new capital of Lin'an in the Song Dynasty were not as good as that.
Ling Muyun was born in a wealthy family in Lin'an and had a lot of knowledge, but he was not very good yet. However, Guo Jing was born in the desert since he was a child, so how could he have seen such a weather? He saw painting pavilions in the red building, embroidered households, carved cars, and horses scrambled. He was full of strange goods and foreign objects; he was a tea shop, but he saw gorgeous clothes and pearls. The road was full of flowers, the flutes and drums were hustle and empty; the gold and green sun shine, and the silk and silk fragrance was waving. He was only dazzling, a young man who had never seen the world. Nine out of ten things he saw were unknown, just like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.
Ling Muyun and Guo Jing first found an inn and placed their horses and luggage in the inn. Then they found a restaurant for a meal, and then went out to wander around. After all, they finally came to this prosperous place that was full of places. How could they not take a good tour and take a tour?
The two of them strolled around the long street and wandered around for half a day. Suddenly, they heard the noise of people in front of them, and the cheers were endless. From a distance, they surrounded a large group of people, not knowing what they were looking at. Guo Jing became curious and turned his head to Ling Muyun and said, "Brother Ling, let's go in and take a look." After that, he ignored Ling Muyun's response and rushed into the crowd.
Seeing this, Ling Muyun smiled and shook her head, and then squeezed into the crowd. Ling Muyun and Guo Jing were both possessed excellent martial arts, especially Ling Muyun's martial arts skills, which had already reached the first-class level. How could these ordinary people watching the fun be able to squeeze through them? Therefore, although the crowd was crowded, they were soon squeezed to the front of the crowd.
When I came to the crowd, I saw a blank space in the middle. A banner was inserted into the ground, with red flowers on white background, embroidered with four golden characters "Martial Competition and Kissing". The banner fluttered and flew under the north wind. There was an iron spear on the ground on the left of the banner, and two iron short halberds were inserted on the right. Two people under the banner were fighting around, one of which was a young and young girl in her red, and the other was a burly man in his thirties.
The girl had rules in every move, obviously her martial arts were not weak, and although the man was tall and strong, her martial arts were mediocre. After several rounds, the girl in red turned around and came to the man's back and punched her on the man's back. Although the girl was not old, she was really powerful. She beat the man forward and fell to the ground, and fell to the dust. After getting up, she looked ashamed and squeezed into the crowd. The audience cheered and cheered.
