The old immortal of the stars, the Dharma controls the heavens

Chapter 134 Mei Zhuang
Hangzhou West Lake.

It is rare to see a large village next to the West Lake.

And this Zhuangzi is quite famous in Hangzhou.

I have to say that this Zhuangzi is very consistent with the concept of hiding in the wilderness, hiding in the city, and hiding in the court.

Not in the wilderness, and the court is a taboo in the world, this city is the best place.

Under normal circumstances, how many people would think that the place where the former leader of the Demon Cult was imprisoned was located in a busy city?
Meizhuang is a combination of the city and the wild, combining Xiaoyin and Zhongyin.

After all, West Lake is a famous scenic spot in the south of the Yangtze River. It has always been very lively and prosperous, and countless talents and beauties will visit here.

Meizhuang is a very famous village on the edge of West Lake.

To match the West Lake, there should be talented people and beautiful women.

There are talented people who play chess, calligraphy and painting.

The Four Friends of Meizhuang are very famous in this West Lake.

Huang Zhonggong, who is erudite and knowledgeable and loves the piano, is fond of Go and claims to be a black and white man who can calculate people with chess, a bald pen man who is fond of calligraphy, especially cursive script, and a cheerful and heroic painter who loves painting and wine.

It is better to say it is the Four Friends of Meizhuang than it is the Four Friends of Jiangnan.

The four people's reputations are ridiculously big.

"This sight is really surprising."

During the past few days, Ding Chunqiu discovered that the reputation of the four friends of Meizhuang was far beyond imagination.

In terms of fame alone, these four people are in a sense above Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang.

After all, Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang still need to be sneaky, and they are far less upright than the four friends of Meizhuang.

I have to say, this approach is quite unexpected.

Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi also agreed.

Originally, I had imagined that the place where the former leader of the Demon Cult was imprisoned should be extremely hidden. However, I did not expect that a Zhuangzi was built above the cell openly.

The location and the way it was done were all surprising.

But when I think about it deeper, I have to admire this is a wonderful move.

If no clues were revealed through investigation, how would ordinary people know that people would be imprisoned under the West Lake, just like the White Snake?
In a way, Dongfang Bubai is a very evil person... Well, before practicing the Sunflower Book.

"..."

As the left envoy of the light, Xiang Wentian did not speak, and remained silent in response to the meaning of Ding Chunqiu's words.

To be honest, even Xiang Wentian was very surprised by this situation.

If it weren't for the clues left by the four friends of Meizhuang in the church, and it took Xiang Wentian more than ten years to investigate, the results could be found.

After all, Xiang Wentian once deduced the life and death of Leader Ren. After confirming that he was still alive, he searched for a place to be imprisoned.

But after thinking about it, Xiang Wentian never thought that Leader Ren would be locked up in public in a sense.

In the past 12 years, among the talented, beautiful, literati and poets who have walked in the West Lake and taken a boat trip to the West Lake, who would know that the person imprisoned under the West Lake is not the snake demon Bai Suzhen, but Woxing, the former director of the Sun Moon God Sect?

In a sense, it is extremely ironic.

Dongfang Bubai's choice of actions was beyond Xiang Wentian's understanding from beginning to end.

Usurping the throne and seizing power.

Arrangements for Ren Yingying.

Not killing the former leader, and the choice of where to be imprisoned.

plus subsequent changes in the situation.

Xiang Wentian felt that every step Dongfang Bubai took made people unprepared, but they also felt that it was reasonable.

Very contradictory.

"It's very surprising."

Xiang Wentian finally admitted this. He felt that if Ding Chunqiu was not killed in West Lake, the shadow of Bai Suzhen would never be able to escape from the leader Ren's body.

"And I didn't expect them to be so upright."

The Four Friends of Meizhuang...

Their names are not actually their original names. Instead, they are given to people by their reputation. It is considered that their names have become their real names.They were not famous when they were in the church. Instead, they became famous after staying in Meizhuang.

It can be said that it is named after Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Just like the undefeated East.

Until now, few people know Dongfang Bubai's real name. Bubai represents his military power.

Over time, this name replaced the original name.

As for the relevant internal directory records, they had been destroyed long ago, which is why it took Xiang Wentian more than ten years to investigate.

It’s really exactly the same as Dongfang Invincible.

And characters who can use their names to replace their real names are generally good.

Moreover, the internal battles within the Sun Moon Divine Sect also caused many materials to be destroyed. In addition, the sect has a large number of people, and many of its members do not know each other.

Xiang Wentian and the four friends of Meizhuang belong to this kind of relationship.

They both belong to the same religion, but they don't know each other.

It's just that in Xiang Wentian's opinion, he doesn't know the four friends of Meizhuang, but the other party may not know him. This is why he wants to find outsiders to destroy Meizhuang.

After all, at that time, Xiang Wentian was in a high-level position and was not familiar with the people below him. This was normal.

At that time, among the elders, the four friends of Meizhuang were just subordinates and juniors.

But as a subordinate, he might not know Xiang Wentian.

This is also the reason why he didn't dare to show up easily even if he found the location in the previous time. He didn't start his plan until he was sure that his current appearance was very different from the past.

But even so, Xiang Wentian didn't want to go to Meizhuang himself to take risks.

Xiang Wentian couldn't be as cruel as Fan Yao to scratch his face.

"And I have already prepared fine wine, as well as Fan Kuan's "Journey to the Streams and Mountains" that I found. As for the music score, the copy that the young hero has is enough for me."

"Play chess..."

When he said this, Xiang Wentian still had an expectant expression on his face.

Thinking of the fact that Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan Sect, is known as the Gentleman's Sword, it's not just Yue Buqun's behavior, but also the fact that Yue Buqun has always been dressed in Confucian robes.

Logically speaking, playing chess, calligraphy and painting should be possessed by the direct disciples of the Huashan School.

This is what scholars should know.

Therefore, in Xiang Wentian's plan, the disciples of the Huashan Sect were the best candidates from the beginning.

My first choice was Linghu Chong, the senior brother of the Huashan Sect.

It wasn't until the appearance of Ding Chunqiu, the younger brother of the Huashan Sect, that he replaced Linghu Chong.

same.

Faced with Xiang Zuo's expectations, Ding Chunqiu also figured out a key point.

As long as Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying want to save Ren Woxing, people from the Huashan Sect will stand out and become the best choice.

Just because the four friends of Meizhuang represent music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The Huashan School is precisely the integration of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

In a sense, Linghu Chong was the destined man.

Listening to Xiang Wentian's explanation, he wanted Ding Chunqiu to use the four methods of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, plus the prepared gifts, to directly break through the Four Friends of Jiangnan and penetrate inside.

Wine, piano, and paintings are all ready, but compared to Linghu Chong, the young apprentice doesn't seem to be as good at wine, but he still drinks it.

Ding Chunqiu holds the legendary "Dugu Nine Swords".

As for chess...

It is natural for Jun Zijian's disciples to know this.The title of Gentleman Sword is not something that can be obtained casually.

For Xiang Wentian, there is no more suitable person in the world than a disciple of the Huashan Sect.

In fact, in Ding Chunqiu's view, neither he nor his senior brother Linghu Chong was the most suitable one in a sense. Each had their own shortcomings, and the most suitable candidate was none other than the leader of Junzi Jianyue.

The master is the best person to destroy Plum Village.

Xiang Wentian gave his instructions as carefully and conscientiously as an old man, but Ding Chunqiu and Yue Lingshan listened quite seriously.

However, Lin Pingzhi, who was standing aside, glanced back and forth at the faces of the three of them. He forcibly stopped his urge to laugh and turned his face away, so that others could not see the distortion of his expressions.

Although it was rude, Lin Pingzhi really couldn't help it.

He felt that the demon sect's plan to move to the left would fail miserably.

Wine and sword have arrived.

The piano represents music...

Thinking of the song that Ding Chunqiu and Yue Lingshan once played in front of Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, it could be said that it almost made those two people's mentality explode.

You can't say that you don't understand it at all, you can only say that you know nothing about it.

In comparison, it is difficult to play the piano and flute, but I am better at gongs and drums.

In terms of music level alone, Yunnan folk songs are the best.

Of course, objective comments as a listener do not count.

Lin Pingzhi had long known about the abilities of the four friends of Meizhuang. They seemed to be more like scholars than demon sect members.

Judging from this situation, I am afraid that when the eldest brother Ding Chun arrives, he will have a sword fight with Huang Zhonggong, and that battle will be inevitable.

painting……

Because he had never seen Ding Chunqiu describe it, Lin Pingzhi didn't know the depth.

Chess...

Not knowing the details, Lin Pingzhi felt that he should not look down upon him.

After some arrangements, Ding Chunqiu was in front, Yue Lingshan was behind, and Xiang Wentian and Lin Pingzhi followed behind. They pretended to be human, picked up the gifts they had prepared, and went directly to Meizhou according to their long-decided plan. Zhuang worshiped the mountain.

Because they had already sent in their greetings, the four of them went straight into Meizhuang without any imaginable obstruction.

obviously.

This kind of village worship situation often happens near the West Lake.

Because of his reputation, literati would come to ask for advice from time to time.

The person who opened the door was Ding Jian, the housekeeper of Meizhuang.

Known as a one-word electric sword, he is actually a gentle and elegant person.

Being able to work as a housekeeper in Meizhuang, he was naturally influenced by music, chess, calligraphy and painting. His body was not very aristocratic, but he had a bit more scholarly air.

Looking at his attire, it’s not surprising to say that he is a scholar’s ​​sword.

However, when Ding Jian's appearance fell into the eyes of Ding Chunqiu and Yue Lingshan, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised, as if they saw a crude version of the Gentleman's Sword.

"You four are the people who worship the village?"

Ding Jian opened the door and asked directly, looking at the four men, women, old and weak with some vigilance.

"Yes."

Xiang Wentian stepped forward and introduced himself as an old butler, saying: "My young master heard about the famous Four Friends of Meizhuang and wants to consult with the four owners on chess, calligraphy and painting."

"My young master is a scholar."

Following Xiang Wentian's introduction, Ding Chunqiu directly opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned it gently. He was talking about a person who was elegant and charming.

"These two are the young master's book boys."

Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi, who were holding gifts, both wore masks and followed behind them in silence.

"?"

Ding Jian looked confused.

He has met many people who send greetings.

But people like this are very rare.

Especially Ding Chunqiu's elegant style and extremely luxurious clothes, no matter what, they showed Ding Jian that the person in front of him was either rich or noble.

Looking at the long sword slung casually around the other party's waist, the casual posture has a special sense of laziness.

After thinking about it in his mind, Ding Jian felt that there was no such young hero in the world at the moment, especially the other party's age, which instead confirmed the other party's status as either rich or noble.

The other party's arrogant feeling reminded him of people like Wang Sun.

That expression and posture are different from normal people in the world.

Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi, who were both young but wearing masks, were only glanced at casually by Ding Jian. He didn't know what he thought of and didn't pay much attention to them.

Especially after seeing the inner clothing of the leader's clothes that was inadvertently leaked, it actually made him shudder.

that is! ! !
He felt that he could not handle this matter by himself and needed to inform the four village owners.

"Then...four of you, please come into the village."

Opening the door, Ding Jian welcomed the four people in.

Stepping into it without thinking, Ding Chunqiu waved his hand casually, signaling Yue Lingshan, Lin Pingzhi and Xiang Wentian to hand the gifts to Ding Jian.

What matters is a majestic person who treats money as dirt.

As the housekeeper of Meizhuang, Ding Jian naturally has his own opinions on music, chess, calligraphy and painting. After seeing the gift, he was immediately shocked, and in his heart he became more and more sure of his previous guess.

soon.

The four of them came to the living room under the leadership of Ding Jian.

After serving the best tea, Ding Jian resigned and went straight to find the four village owners.

"Good tea!" X2.

Ding Chunqiu and Lin Pingzhi both praised the tea in the cup.

Ding Chunqiu did it because of his previous life, while Lin Pingzhi did it because of his former status as a rich man.

Yue Lingshan smacked her lips without tasting it.

Xiang Wentian mainly drinks wine. He drinks big bowls of wine and eats large pieces of meat. He doesn’t study tea deeply.

However, with this move, it can be confirmed that the original plan was successful.

Of the three plans that were originally discussed, Ding Chunqiu's method turned out to be the best. This made Xiang Wentian feel even more fearful, especially the audacious plan.

Soon.

Huang Zhonggong, Hei Baizi, Bald Bi Weng and Dan Qingsheng were actually four village owners who came together.

"Keep customers waiting for a long time."

From a distance, Huang Zhonggong's resonant voice came over.

While holding fists, Huang Zhonggong took the lead and said.

"Good to say."

"Originally, I came here for the four of you." Ding Chunqiu's words showed a kind of condescending indifference, which seemed to have lost its pyrotechnics.

There's nothing rude about it, it's just as natural as looking down on someone.

This move fell in the eyes of the four friends, but it confirmed Ding Jian's inference, especially after quietly taking a look at the embroidery of the underwear that was partially exposed.

This young master is really the imperial court... No.

To be precise, he is from the Zhu family.

The four friends looked at each other and saw the tension and worry in each other's eyes.
