The heavens start from the anger and clearness of Xiangxi

Chapter 96
Both Lu Qing and Murong Jiu rode precious steeds that travel thousands of miles a day. It is said that it will not be long before they arrive at Longhu Mountain, but Murong Jiu is traveling far for the first time, and he is curious about everything, so the two of them are not traveling fast. .

Anyway, Lu Qing wasn't in a hurry to go to Longhu Mountain, so he simply walked around with her, as if it was a tour of mountains and rivers.

The two rode their horses and ran for a long time, until they passed a small town, they stopped slowly and led the horses for a walk on the street.

Murong Jiu led the horse and looked at the interesting gadgets on the surrounding stalls from time to time.

This small town is not big, but there are a lot of people. Among the people coming and going on the street are scholars, heroes of the rivers and lakes, and traffickers.

Although fish and dragons are mixed, everyone is doing their own way, and it seems to be in order.

The peddlers yelled honestly, and there were laughter among the passers-by, and they were not in such a hurry as described in the scriptures.

The waiter in the restaurant worked hard to clear the tables and chairs, and the heroes who came to eat did not overturn the table and beat them to death as in the story.

Everything is so normal, so normal that it is far from the world in Murong Jiu's heart.

"So this is Jianghu?" Murong Jiu said with emotion as he walked, "I thought Jianghu was full of grievances and grievances between knights and gangsters, blood and swords, but I didn't expect it to be so ordinary. "

"Great people have big people in the world, and small people have small people in the world." Lu Qing replied: "The world is not only about famous heroes and notorious cunning villains, but more of these ordinary people."

The town is not big, and the streets are naturally not long. Even if the two stop and go, they quickly walked out of the market and came to a small pier.

There was no one on the pier, and there was only a small boat docked on the river. On the boat, an old man in a coir raincoat was silently smoking a pipe, quite at ease.

"I think this kind of rivers and lakes are much more vivid than those of fighting and killing." Murong Jiu looked at everything around him and said, "If a person spends his whole life fighting and killing, and can't even sleep soundly, that's a lot worse than that." It’s even worse to die.”

"That's why so many people abandon fame and fortune and choose to retire." Lu Qing said again: "Just don't think that this place is safe."

"Isn't it?" Murong Jiu asked puzzled.

She recalled what she had seen and heard along the way. Everything here is in order, and everyone does not invade each other. Isn't it safe?
Lu Qing smiled and replied: "The treachery of the rivers and lakes does not lie on the surface, only the still water has deep currents."

Afterwards, he pointed to the sloppy old man who was silently smoking a pipe in the small boat in front of him and said, "Look at that old man, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Murong Jiu replied subconsciously: "I think he must be an old boatman who has been ferrying for many years, but now there is no one on the boat, so he has nothing to do and smokes there."

Lu Qing shook his head and said, "No, he is not the boatman on the ferry, but a murderous gangster without blinking an eye!"

"How could it be!" Murong Jiujiao exclaimed.

"If the boatman must support the pole all the year round, the tiger's mouth and palms should be covered with calluses, but look at his hands, the knuckles are thick and the joints are full of thick calluses, but the inner palms have no calluses at all."

"This is because he has practiced boxing and kicking, and has never used a weapon, let alone a pole."

Lu Qing paused and continued: "Now there is no cloud in the sky. If you are an old boatman, you can tell by looking at the sky that it will never rain today, so you don't need a coir raincoat at all. But he put a thick coir raincoat on his body, Why do you think it is?"

Murong Jiu didn't know, shook his head and asked, "Why?"

"Because he just killed someone, blood stained his clothes." Lu Qing replied.

"Ah?!" Murong Jiu subconsciously exclaimed again.

"But since he killed someone, why didn't he run away immediately, but instead smoked there without panic?" Murong Jiu was puzzled again.

"It's not that he doesn't want to run, but he's being targeted, and if he moves around, he will die." Lu Qing explained.

"Being watched?"

Murong Jiu looked around subconsciously, but he didn't see anyone at all.

"It's not around here, it's underwater." Lu Qing reminded.

"Underwater?"

When Murong Jiu heard the words and looked towards the river, he could indeed see a few tiny reed stalks.

Only then did she suddenly realize that those people hiding in the river used this reed to breathe.

"But why did the old man kill the people on the boat, and why did the people in the water target him?" Murong Jiu was puzzled again.

Lu Qing shook his head and said, "Maybe it's for money, maybe it's because of grievances, everyone has their own reasons, who can tell?"

After finishing speaking, he signaled Murong Jiu to get on his horse and prepare to leave this small pier.

Because it will not be so quiet here soon, not only will it not be quiet, but it will become a river of blood.

A quiet scene may not make people happy, but a bloody scene will definitely make people feel bad.

They are here to play, not to watch murder.

Murong Jiu rode a fast horse and followed beside Lu Qing. Before he had gone far, there were screams one after another. Presumably there must be a fierce battle going on.

"Sigh." Murong Jiu on the horse sighed, "Unexpectedly, there are grievances and grievances that cannot be cleared up in this small city, and it will be a life-and-death situation."

"This is Jianghu." Lu Qing said: "Jianghu is the kindness and resentment between you and me."

"Some grievances can be laughed off."

"Some grievances are endless, and even if you hide in the ends of the earth, you can't avoid them, and you can't hide them."

Murong Jiu nodded. What happened just now greatly shocked her, and it can be said that it overturned her perception of Jiang Hu.

"No wonder people in the Jianghu say that people can't help themselves in the Jianghu." She said with emotion.

She didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence at first, but now she understands a little bit.

Sometimes the reasons behind things in the world are not important.

Because you have your reasons and I have mine.

You and I can't control other people's behavior, and in the end, we can't even control our own behavior.

Because if you don't kill someone, someone else will kill you.

And if you kill someone, his relatives and friends will come to you for revenge.

In the end, your hatred, my hatred, and his hatred are entangled like a mess, and they can't be sorted out or explained. Everyone is trapped in the rivers and lakes woven by hatred.

Thinking of this, Murong Jiu suddenly felt that this so-called Jianghu was a bit dull.

She said loudly to Lu Qing, who was riding beside her, "I suddenly understand your thoughts."

"What do you understand me?" Lu Qing asked curiously.

"Before you said that you were not a member of the world, and you showed indifference to everything. I just thought it was because of your supernatural powers that you were lonely and self-admired. But now I know that it is because you have seen through the world, because the sky is too small to tolerate you. I can't let you down." Murong Jiu said so.

"Now I also want to say that I, Murong Jiu, am not from the rivers and lakes, because this rivers and lakes are too small to accommodate me at all!" She shouted with pride.

Lu Qing was taken aback when he heard the words, and then burst out laughing.

This smile is like thunder from the Nine Heavens God.

This smile is like a dragon chanting in an abyss.

The heaven and the earth trembled for it, and all things bowed their heads for it.

Everyone in the world knows that a bosom friend is hard to find, a confidant is hard to find,
Lu Qing has both knowledge and confidant, and the two are in one person. Isn't this the perfect combination that is hard to find in the world?
