"Thank you so much, hero, for not killing me just now." Zhu Wu beat the snake and put it on the stick, and then said: "The martial arts of hero is so high that Zhu Wu has only seen it in his life. I admire the most powerful person in martial arts. I think hero must be The hero who became famous in the arena is just Zhu Wu who is clumsy and has not yet asked the hero for his surname."
After Zhu Wu finished speaking, he bowed to Wang Lun and fell to the ground. Chen Da and Yang Chun also came over to salute Wang Lun. Wang Lun stretched out his hands to support each other and said with a smile: "You are welcome, my name is Wang Lun. Speaking of this martial arts, He can do some tricks like a three-legged cat, but he doesn't dare to be called a hero."
"Long time admiration, long time admiration." Zhu Wu and the others were stunned when they heard Wang Lun announcing his family name. The three of them looked at each other. It was obvious that they had never heard of Wang Lun's name. The words of "long admiration" just now were just polite.
Wang Lun felt a little disappointed in his heart. It seemed that his reputation in the world was still not loud enough. However, after thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, he had only been in charge of Liangshan for a few years. Although Liangshan's career had developed quite a lot in recent years. Because of their rapid development, their fame is gradually increasing, but it is only limited to the Central Plains of Shandong and Henan and Hebei. Zhu Wu and the others are far away in Shaohua Mountain, separated from the Central Plains by the Taihang Mountain, so it is natural for them not to know.
"Excuse me, my dear, is this the white-clothed scholar Wang Lun, the owner of Xiaowang Village in Liangshan?" However, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong, who were knocked to the ground by Wang Lun, heard the conversation between Wang Lun and Zhu Wu, and Li Zhong asked loudly.
It seems that someone knew his name. Wang Lun secretly smiled in his heart, but his face remained calm and said: "I am not talented, it is me."
"I beg Mr. Wang to clear the acupuncture points for this villain. I have something to say." Li Zhong was lying on the ground unable to move, so he had to shout loudly.
Wang Lun smiled slightly, walked up to Li Zhong and Zhou Tong, and with a caress, used the orchid acupuncture technique to untie the acupuncture points of Li Zhong and Zhou Tong with just a raise of his hand.
Zhu Wu followed Wang Lun and saw that when Wang Lun was unblocking the acupuncture points, he was doing so lightly and casually without leaving any trace. He unblocked the acupuncture points in an instant. Just now, his men were also unblocking the acupoints for his companion, but no matter how hard he pushed the palace, I was so busy that I was sweating profusely and never untied a single one.
Zhu Wu, Yang Chun, and Chen Da looked at each other. The three of them were shocked. They all felt that Wang Lun's methods were too brilliant. They were really unheard of and unseen, and they admired Wang Lun's martial arts even more.
At this time, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong's acupuncture points had been resolved, and they immediately came to Wang Lun and knelt down on the ground, saying in unison: "Peach Blossom Mountain Li Zhong and Zhou Tong pay their respects to Master Wang Lun."
Although Wang Lun had already guessed that it was Li Zhong and Zhou Tong, he still looked overjoyed and said for a long time, reaching out to help them up.
"Thank you very much, Master Wang, for your help." After Li Zhong stood up, he immediately cupped his fists and saluted Wang Lun: "If Master Wang hadn't taken action in time, all the hundreds of brothers in Taohuashan would have died today. Here it is, my brothers in Taohuashan are deeply grateful for such a great kindness from the owner of the village."
After Li Zhong said this, he and Zhou Tong kowtowed to Wang Lun again. Wang Lun quickly stretched out his hand to support him and said with a smile: "You two brothers, there is no need to be polite. Let's not talk about this for now. I will untie these people's acupuncture points before I talk anymore." Late."
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong answered yes, followed Wang Lun, and watched Wang Lun removing acupuncture points for everyone. Suddenly they saw Zhu Wu and three others following Wang Lun, and they immediately glared angrily, snorted, and turned to the other side of Wang Lun. , keeping a distance from Zhu Wu and the others.
Yang Chun and Chen Da immediately stared back, unwilling to be outdone, but Zhu Wu just smiled and passed by.
Wang Lunke didn't care what little tricks the two groups did, he just focused on unblocking everyone's acupuncture points. Xiao Wu and Ping'er also came to help, and in a short time, they had unblocked the sealed acupuncture points of everyone in Shaohua Mountain and Taohua Mountain.
By the time Wang Lun finished removing the acupuncture points, Zhu Wu had ordered people to clear an open space, moved a few boxes and asked Wang Lun, Xiao Wu and Ping'er to sit down. Zhu Wu and others stood in front of Wang Lun with their hands down.
Wang Lun also introduced Xiao Wu and Ping'er to Zhu Wu and others. Zhu Wu and others immediately stepped forward to salute. Seeing that Zhu Wu and others were still standing, Wang Lun waved to everyone to sit down and talk. Zhu Wu and others After some humility, he sat on the ground, but there was Shaohua Mountain on one side and Peach Blossom Mountain on the other. They were divided into two places, with a gap between them.
After Zhu Wu and others were all seated, Wang Lun looked at the five Liangshan heroes from Water Margin in front of him. Although he didn't know why the two groups were fighting here and now, since he met them, he It shows that I really have a fate with these Water Margin people. It seems that I will definitely meet more Water Margin people in the future.
It's just that the only one missing from these two groups is Shi Jin. Wang Lun is still very interested in the famous Jiuwenlong Shi Jin. According to the story in Water Margin, Shi Jin had an affair with Lu Zhishen in Weinan, Shaanxi. A meeting, I wonder if I will meet them this time on my westward journey.
Thinking of this, Wang Lun asked: "I heard that there is a Nine-marked Dragon Shi Jin Shi Dalang on Shaohua Mountain. Didn't he come with you this time?"
"In response to Master Wang's words." Zhu Wu clasped his fists and replied, "Brother Shi Jin left Shaohua Mountain a few days ago. He said he was going to Shaanxi to find his master Wang."
Wang Lun exclaimed, thinking that Shi Jin had indeed gone to Shaanxi. At the same time, he suddenly remembered, yes, in the Water Margin, Shi Jin had learned art from Wang Jin and was Wang Jin's apprentice. In this era, Wang Jin was himself His fourth uncle, in this case, Shi Jin should be regarded as his junior brother.
"Just now Master Wang Zhuang said that he knew Brother Shi Jin was in Shaohua Mountain." Zhu Wu suddenly showed doubts on his face and asked, "It's just that Brother Shi Jin has only been in Shaohua Mountain for more than half a year. Many people in the world don't know about it, but they don't know about Wang Zhuang." Where did the Lord know that?”
Wang Lun smiled in his heart and secretly wondered how he could tell you this secret, but he was afraid that Zhu Wu would continue to ask questions, so he immediately changed the subject and asked Zhu Wu: "Brother Zhu Wu, your Shaohua Mountain is far away in Shaanxi, why do you appear here today? Why are you in conflict with the brothers from Peach Blossom Mountain again?"
"I don't dare to hide it in front of Master Wang Lun." Seeing that Wang Lun didn't answer how he knew about Shi Jin, Zhu Wu didn't dare to ask again. Seeing Wang Lun asking again, he immediately replied: "When it comes to this matter, I should It’s really hard to describe, our brothers from Shaohua Mountain are really forced to show up here.”
After Zhu Wu finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, and then told Wang Lun the reason why everyone from Shaohua Mountain appeared here.
It turns out that Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun were not originally Luocao in Shaohua Mountain, but officers under the account of Souchong Jinglue of Gansu and Shaanxi Jinglue Mansion. The three of them relied on their good martial arts skills, especially Zhu Wu's outstanding military strategy. He has made many military exploits in the Jinglue Mansion, and he has been favored by the souchong Jinglue Xianggong.
Chen Da and Yang Chun have both become school officers, and Zhu Wu has even become a military advisor. If nothing unexpected happens, the three of them will definitely be able to stand out with their military exploits in the future.
Unexpectedly, just over two years ago, a general sent by Souchong Jinglue ordered Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun to follow Souchong Jinglue's wife's nephew Chang Huaixin to go out to suppress bandits, but for some reason the news leaked out. , all the bandits ran away without even catching a single thief.
Chang Huaixin was afraid of returning home empty-handed and being punished by the Souchong Manager, so he even went so far as to arrest more than a hundred ordinary people in nearby villages pretending to be bandits, so that he could go back to claim credit and receive rewards.
Zhu Wu and others couldn't bear the injustice of the innocent people, so they stepped forward to dissuade them. Unexpectedly, Chang Huaixin, a bad man, falsely accused Zhu Wu and others of informing the bandits, which caused the bandits to escape. They wanted to arrest Zhu Wu and others. The military law asked him to kill him on the spot.
Zhu Wu and others were unwilling to accept this unjust injustice, so they killed Chang Huaixin with a sword in anger, and rebelled out of the military camp with a hundred brothers.
Zhu Wu and others hid all the way, and finally arrived at Shaohua Mountain. Zhu Wu saw that Shaohua Mountain had high mountains and dangerous roads, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he led his brothers up the mountain to drop grass.
After the grass fell in Shaohua Mountain, Zhu Wu and others gathered some homeless refugees. Over the past two years, they have gathered between five and seven hundred people and hundreds of good horses. They open up wasteland and cultivate land in the mountains on weekdays. He plundered some corrupt officials who were passing by, killed the rich and helped the poor. Although he didn't have much fame, he still had a small reputation in the world.
When Zhu Wu said this, Li Zhong suddenly interrupted: "I just heard Master Wang mention that Shi Jin is also in Shaohua Mountain. Is he talking about Jiuwenlong Shi Jin Shi Dalang from Shijia Village in Huayin County?"
"Exactly." Zhu Wu nodded and asked, "Brother Li also recognizes Brother Shi Jin?"
Li Zhong smiled and said: "Shi Dalang and I are brothers. I am a few years older than him. I taught him how to open his hands."
Zhu Wu laughed loudly and said: "Then we really don't know each other without fighting. We have offended many people just now."
After Zhu Wu finished speaking, he stood up and saluted Li Zhong and Zhou Tong with clasped fists. Li Zhong and Zhou Tong had been beaten hard by Zhu Wu and others, and they were still a little angry. However, seeing that Zhu Wu was more polite, they had no choice but to stand up and return the salute. But the estrangement between the two groups finally disappeared.
After meeting Li Zhong and Zhou Tong, Zhu Wu continued: "Speaking of Shi Dalang, there is another origin."
It turns out that Shi Jin was originally from Shijia Village in Huayin County at the foot of Shaohua Mountain. His family was wealthy and he owned a large farmhouse in the village.
Shi Jin did not like studying and farming since he was a child. He only loved dancing with guns and sticks. His mother died of illness when Shi Jin was young. Shi Jin was the only son in the family. The owner of the village, Mrs. Shi, said he couldn't do it, so she had to follow his own whim. He didn't know what to do. How much wealth is there? Ask the master to teach him.
Because Shi Jin was naturally in love with beauty, Taigong Shi spent a lot of money to hire a skilled craftsman to embroider his body with nine green dragons on his shoulders, arms and chest. Shi Jin was also handsome, with a face like a silver plate, and people in the county called him "Shi Jin". When he was fluent in speech, they all called him Jiuwenlong Shijin.
When Shi Jin was eighteen years old, a father and son came to stay in Shijiazhuang. The father was a mighty middle-aged man, and the son was only seven or eight years old.
Grandpa Shi was a hospitable person. Seeing that the father and son had traveled a long way and missed their place of residence, he allowed them to stay.
On the second day, this man accidentally saw Shi Jin practicing martial arts, and couldn't help but point out that Shi Jin's kung fu was just a show of fists and legs, which was useless for viewing and basically useless for fighting.
Shi Jin was arrogant and naturally dissatisfied, so he wanted to compete with the man on the spot. However, as soon as he made a move, Shi Jin was knocked to the ground before he even met him.
