The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 26 Five Years in Luoyang
Five years in Meteor Pavilion, Luoyang.

The Red Scarf Restaurant in Luoyang is particularly lively today.Because a pair of grandfather and grandson came to the restaurant. They were storytellers hired by the Red Turban Restaurant at a high price.And the story they want to tell is the story of Qin Ge's battle with Huqiu.

One is an old man wearing a blue cloth gown, smoking a dry cigarette.Standing next to him was a young girl with two long braids and a goose-yellow silk scarf on her head. She had big, watery eyes and was pretty and charming.

As soon as they sat down at the storytelling table, people began to look over at them from time to time, as if there was something interesting about the two of them.

The braided girl smiled and said, "Grandpa, some people can't wait any longer."

The old man took a deep drag on his dry cigarette and said, "Chu Chu, why did the silk scarf on your head change its color? Didn't you like red the most before?"

The girl with braids pouted her lips and complained: "For some reason, you can't buy red silk scarves everywhere these days."

The old gentleman smiled and said: "That's because red silk scarves are so popular nowadays, and the supply exceeds demand in all major silk and satin shops."

The braided girl looked puzzled and asked: "In demand? Why is it so popular?"

The old gentleman said seriously: "If you have heard about the Battle of Tiger Hill that caused a sensation in the world a few days ago, you will understand. Since the Battle of Tiger Hill, all the young people in the world have to wear a red silk scarf. Willing to go out. Even if some people are no longer young, they still wear a red silk scarf to show that they are not old and can continue to fight."

The braided girl blinked and asked, "The Battle of Tiger Hill? What is the Battle of Tiger Hill?"

The old man said: "The Battle of Huqiu is the battle that made Qin Ge Qin Da Xia famous. In the past ten years, there has never been any battle in the world that was more sensational than this battle, and there has never been any battle that shed more blood than this battle." .”

The grandfather and grandson asked and answered questions, and everyone in the restaurant was attracted by them, with curious faces on their faces.

The girl with the braid's eyes shone brightly and she said with a smile: "This hero Qin Ge is so powerful! Grandpa, please tell us about it."

The old gentleman took a sip of tea and said slowly: "That day is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May. Every year on this day, the Seven Tigers of Jiangnan gather on Huqiu Mountain."

"Speaking of the Jiangnan Seven Tigers, they committed murder, arson, robbery and theft. It can be said that they did all kinds of evil."

"Although people in the world are gnashing their teeth at their evil deeds, and they all want to be heroes who fight tigers. They all know that they are in Tiger Hill on this day, but because the martial arts of these seven tigers are so powerful, no one has ever dared Go find them."

"Until that day five years ago..."

The braided girl hurriedly asked: "How was that day?"

The old man said: "When the seven tigers were going up the mountain that day, they met a beautiful woman on the way. As soon as the seven tigers saw the beautiful woman, they became lustful and snatched her up the mountain without caring about them."

The braided girl said angrily: "It's so abominable. They robbed women in broad daylight. Why doesn't anyone teach such evil thieves a lesson?"

The old gentleman said: "Because no one has ever dared to mess with them. But this time, they met one.

The braided girl hurriedly asked: "Who is this person?"

The old gentleman said: "It's Qin Ge. Because this woman is his sweetheart. At that time, Qin Ge was still an unknown young man. When he said he wanted to go up the mountain to hunt tigers, no one else thought that he would be so bold. He was bragging. Who knew he actually went."

The braided girl asked: "Did he go alone?"

The old man said: "Of course it was one person. Qin Ge went to Tiger Hill single-handedly and found the seven tigers. After a fierce battle, although he stabbed two of the tigers, he was also stabbed one hundred and eight times." knife."

The braided girl was shocked: "One hundred and eight swords?!"

The old man said: "No more, no less, exactly one hundred and eight. Because this is the rule of the Jiangnan Seven Tigers. After they capture a person alive, they will never kill him with one knife. They must stab him one hundred and eight times." Knife, let him die slowly."

The storyteller spoke so vividly that when someone heard this, veins popped out on their head and their fists were already clenched.

The old gentleman said: "But no one expected that Qin Ge gritted his teeth and took the one hundred and eight knives. Because he didn't want to die, and he also wanted to take revenge."

The braided girl said: "He still dares to take revenge?"

The old man said: "This Qin Ge not only looks like he is made of iron, but his courage is also made of iron. Everyone thought that after he escaped with his life this time, his demeanor would definitely change."

"Unexpectedly, he went to Tiger Hill again the next year and found these seven tigers again..." At this point, he suddenly stopped, picked up the tea cup, and slowly blew the tea leaves in the cup.

The braided girl showed a look of worry on her face, and kept saying, "Grandpa, why didn't you say anything?"

The old gentleman put down his tea cup, took another puff of dry cigarette, and closed his eyes.

The braided girl muttered: "Grandpa knows how to whet people's appetites, so he won't talk about the highlights. Do you want to drink?"

Ji Ran pretended to be Linghu Chong and smiled lightly, took out a piece of silver from his purse and gently threw it on the plate in front of the old gentleman.

Now everyone in the tavern who was listening to the book understood, and took out their money one after another.

The braided girl looked at Ji Ran with a smile, and her big bright eyes rolled around his face a few times, as if she was thankful.

The old man gently knocked the tobacco stick and continued: "This time, Qin Ge seriously injured four of them."

"And he himself received another one hundred and eight blows. This time Qihu's attack was of course harder, but he still endured it."

"According to people who saw him later, after being stabbed one hundred and eight times, there was no intact part of his body, and the blood shed was enough to dye all the stones on Huqiu Mountain red."

The braided girl bit her lip and said, "Why didn't those tigers just kill him?"

The old gentleman said: "Because that's their rule. If they want to stab this man 1 times, they can't stab him with one less stab. And the [-] stabs must be as heavy as the first stab."

"They never thought that a person who had been stabbed one hundred and eight times could still be alive and have the courage to seek revenge against them."

The braided girl said: "But Qin Ge received 210 six knives."

The old gentleman said: "He received 320 knives."

The braided girl asked puzzledly: "Why?"

The old gentleman said: "Because he went there again in the third year and received another one hundred and eight stabs. But this time he had injured five of the seven tigers."

The braided girl asked: "Aren't the seven tigers afraid of such a person at all? Why do they dare to let him live?"

The old gentleman said: "Because they themselves are already riding a tiger and can't get off."

"At that time, this incident had caused a sensation in the world, and many people had made a special trip to Huqiu Mountain to watch the excitement. Therefore, they could not let Qin Ge die when they stabbed him 1 times. When he stabbed him 1 times, he couldn't It should never be heavier than the first cut.

People like them cannot lose face in front of people in the world no matter what. Otherwise, who else would be as afraid of them as before? "

The grandfather and grandson sang together and told the story vividly and vividly.Everyone listened with great interest and seemed to have witnessed the intense scene at that time.

The braided girl asked: "What about the fourth year?"

There seemed to be a smile in the old man's eyes, and he said slowly: "In the fourth year, when Qin Ge appeared in Tiger Hill again, these seven tigers were already frightened and almost lost the courage to continue fighting."

"When Qin Ge killed the last tiger, there was thunderous joy on Tiger Hill. It is said that it could be heard ten miles away."

The braided girl was very excited when she heard this. She clapped her hands and praised: "This Qin Ge Qin Da Xia is really an amazing big man. It is indeed difficult to find another brave person like him in the world."

The old gentleman said: "Since the Battle of Huqiu, Iron Man Qin Ge's name has been resounding throughout the world."

"And the red silk scarf tied around his neck has become a symbol of courage and enthusiasm. Some teenagers began to tie red silk scarves on their wrists and waists, and some people tied red silk scarves on their knives and swords. On top, there are even ones tied around the head.”

He took a sip of tea and added: "However, no one has ever dared to tie a red silk scarf around his neck. Only Qin Ge in the world can do this."

The braided girl asked: "Has anyone else ever had this before?"

The old gentleman said: "A young man who was not afraid of heaven and earth did this before. What do you think the result was?"

The braided girl hurriedly asked: "How?"

Before the old gentleman could answer, there was only a "squeak" sound, and the door of the tavern was pushed open.A young man in black with a sword walked in slowly.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the young man, not because of how handsome he was or how gorgeous his clothes were, but because he was wearing a bright red silk scarf around his neck!

This person is Qin Ge.And this Red Scarf Restaurant is also a property under Qin Ge's name.

In the second year since the establishment of Meteor Pavilion, Jiang Manhong found Qin Ge and described the current operating difficulties of Meteor Pavilion. With the efforts of Meteor Pavilion, how many disasters have been eliminated and how many conflicts have been resolved.

Qin Ge was enthusiastic and agreed to Jiang Manhong's "big shot" plan.Immediately, a large number of storytellers began to disperse throughout the world, and red scarf restaurants and red scarf escort agencies began to appear across the country.

Today, Qin Ge is already a true hero in the world, a hero admired by thousands of people, a hero who makes passionate men burst out with passion.He is a great man.

Qin Ge happened to see Linghu Chong, also known as Ji Ran, sitting by the window on the street.Just pushed the door open and entered.

After he walked to Ji Ran's table and sat down, he cupped his hands and said, "Commander Linghu."

"I resigned from the position of commander of the Blue Ribbon Army two years ago and withdrew from Meteor Pavilion. I wonder what Qin Daxia wants to do with me?" Ji Ran picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

"Nowadays, Meteor Pavilion is booming and branch buildings are being built in various places. It is because of the shortage of manpower. As your leader, you are familiar with Meteor Pavilion and you have exquisite swordsmanship. It is really a waste to get drunk every day. I seem to hear the cry of your sword." Qin Ge said sadly.

The other guests in the restaurant kept staring at Qin Ge. After hearing Brother Qin's words, everyone started talking about Ji Ran.

A strong man said: "I think this man is a coward. He doesn't even agree to the face that Qin Daxia gives him. He really doesn't appreciate it."

Another Jianghu with triangular eyes said: "I think he is just showing off. Otherwise, why would Meteor Pavilion not want him?"

The triangular-eyed bartender at the table said: "I think it's hard for him to hold a big position, or even people like Qin Daxia can't help him become famous.

At this time, a pleasant voice said: "I think he is too narrow-minded to accommodate our Qin Daxia. It is said that five years ago, Qin Daxia was his deputy commander. He must be jealous of his talents."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the speaker and found that it was a woman, a woman wearing a sword.

The woman made a ring salute and said: "Junior Huashan Yueqian, I have met Qin Daxia, and I have met all seniors."

Qin Ge also looked at the woman and saluted back: "It turns out to be the Heaven and Earth Sword of Huashan. Yue Nu Xia, disrespectful."

Qin Ge recognized that this woman was Gao Yanan's personal disciple who had followed Gao Yanan during the sword debate in Huashan.

Half a year later, a piece of news that shocked the entire world, and even the court, spread from Luoyang.

It turns out that the huge Meteor Pavilion has already been unable to make ends meet. In order to save the accounts of Meteor Pavilion, the pavilion owners Jiang Manhong and Yue Huanshan first threatened Qin Ge's life and forced Chu Liuxiang to steal the most precious treasure of Jinxiu Villa, the Jinxiu Mountains and Rivers Map.

It is said that the Splendid Mountains and Rivers Map contains the secrets of treasures from previous dynasties.

But Jiang Manhong's madness did not end. She sent Fei Wuji, the elder of Meteor Pavilion, to sneak into the Yang Mansion.He also sent Ding Ping, the notorious "blood python" in the world, to massacre more than 160 people in the Yang family.

It turns out that Ding Ping is also a member of Meteor Pavilion, and the so-called evildoing and pursuit are all dramas arranged by Meteor Pavilion.

Fei Wuji protected the foolish young master of the Yang family, and Yang Erye escaped, and then began to collect and organize the Yang family's property in the name of Meteor Pavilion.Some people suspect that Master Yang's stupidity was also caused by Mr. Meteor.

After taking over the Yang family's finances, Fei Wuji, who was not satisfied with his position as the great elder, exposed Jiang Manhong's "big shot" plan and accused Qin Ge of cheating the world and stealing fame and using despicable means to gain fame and fortune, and provided evidence.

The "Seven Tigers of Jiangnan" admitted that they were bribed by a mysterious person that day, and all they did was to make Qin Ge famous!

The innocent girl Qianning who was so called rescued was raped by Qihu before Qin Ge arrived. Afterwards, she was taken in as a personal maid by Jiang Manhong, the owner of "Meteor Pavilion", and she can also come out to prove it.

Later, Jiang Manhong and Fei Wuji tried to unite the major forces in the world to suppress each other and control the entire Meteor Pavilion.At this time, Meteor Pavilion had branches all over the country, and was closely connected with the local government. For some second- and third-rate sects, the attitude was that if you don't join, they would be destroyed.

Therefore, the power of Meteor Pavilion has developed extremely rapidly in recent years.

The fifth day of May is the day when Meteor Pavilion was established. On this day every year, all the building owners and key personnel of Meteor Pavilion branch buildings must come to the main building in Luoyang to report their work and hand over their income.

Today's Meteor Pavilion headquarters is no longer in Luoyang City, but in Wan'an Mountain, sixty miles outside Luoyang City.

On the fifth day of May.

The fifth day of May this year is particularly special, because the battle between Jiang Manhong and Fei Wuji has become fierce, and they both want to take advantage of this conference to kill each other.So this year’s conference was attended by an especially large number of people.

More than 3000 Meteor Pavilion senior officials and elites gathered in Wan'an Mountain.The momentum is so huge that it is rare to see it.

It is a pity that on this day, Wan'an Mountain was flooded with blood and its carved beams and painted buildings were burned down.

The reason is very simple. The imperial court is afraid of the current Meteor Pavilion. They can destroy one Yang family in three months, and they can have a second, third, and even the royal family in the end.

At the same time, Meteor Pavilion has become more and more restless in recent years, and has a heated relationship with local governments and military camps. If it wants to do something, its impact on the world will be immeasurable.

Therefore, the emperor ordered the complete eradication of Meteor Pavilion.Of course, the emperor heard about the legend of the Splendid Mountains and Rivers Map and wanted to get it.

Therefore, the mighty general Wang Daosen, who was responsible for the annihilation of Meteor Pavilion, received a secret edict, asking Wang Daosen to secretly seize the Splendid Mountains and Rivers Map and hand it to him.

The fire burned for three days, and it was not until today that the news came out.It is said that even the Splendid Mountains and Rivers Map in Jiang Manhong's hand was said to be divided into three.

It is said that two of the pieces were originally obtained by the imperial court, but due to the sudden betrayal of the "Blood Python" Ding Ping, one of the pieces was stolen by him and left in the world.

But the last piece was missing.

Why could the imperial army conquer Wan'an Mountain so easily?

Because Ding Ping was dissatisfied with Fei Wuji's cold treatment of him, he had clearly made great contributions.The entire Yang family was destroyed by himself, but he was not given any of the spoils. He was only given the empty title of fourth elder.

So Ding Ping secretly sought refuge with Jiang Manhong, hoping to be reused by Jiang Manhong.Due to Ding Ping's reputation in the world, Jiang Manhong did not dare to reuse Ding Ping.

So Ding Ping became angry and defected to the court.In this attack on Wan'an Mountain, Ding Ping took the lead.

He led the leading troops of the imperial court directly into Wan'an Mountain through the secret passage, and then set fires everywhere, causing chaos.

The imperial army took advantage of the chaos to launch an attack on Wan'an Mountain.

Overnight, Qin Ge's myth was completely shattered, and he became a street rat that everyone wanted to beat.

Not only did he become a mouse, his favorite girl died because of Jiang Manhong, and his best brother died because of Ding Ping.It seemed that overnight, the whole world had abandoned him.

What Qin Ge couldn't accept even more was that his father was also missing. The father who had abandoned him for 18 years and been with him for six years, the father who was famous all over the world and respected by everyone as a real hero and big shot, was gone.

Because Qin Ge felt that he was the one who caused his omnipotent father to be in danger and not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Qin Ge was confused. He didn't know what he should do, he didn't know what he should think, and he didn't even know why he was living in this world.

At this time, Qin Ge fell drunk on the street. When he woke up, he stared blankly at himself reflected in the river.

He found a circle of weird-shaped orange peels in front of him. Qin Ge looked blank. He knew that the orange peel was his face, but so what, it seemed that it didn't matter anymore.

Ji Ran walked over not far away.

Qin Ge looked at Ji Ran and said, "Commander Linghu, are you here to laugh at me too?"

Ji Ran did not answer Qin Ge, but took off her disguise and restored her original appearance.

Qin Ge stared at this scene blankly, then rushed over and hugged Ji Ran's legs, crying so hard that he was like a child who had been wronged and finally saw his parents.

The torment and depression in my heart finally found a place to vent.
