When the food came, Bai Yutian filled the wine glass and said respectfully to the Taoist: "I haven't asked the Taoist Master for his name yet. It's very rude."
The Taoist said casually: "Taoist Wushan." He drank the wine in the glass.
Seeing that Taoist Wushan didn't pay much attention to the title, Bai Yutian unconsciously drew closer to him. While pouring wine into Taoist Wushan's glass, he said: "Taoist Master, this junior is ill and shouldn't drink too much. I can only Please forgive me for eating food with you." He smiled gently and spoke sincerely.
Wushan Taoist smiled, did not answer, picked up a piece of tofu, ate it, and drank a sip of wine; picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, ate it, and drank a sip of wine; picked up a piece of pork belly, ate it, and drank a sip of wine; After eating the chicken with chopsticks, I took a sip of wine.
When Bai Yutian saw Taoist Wushan enjoying his meal, he stopped talking to him and just ate and drank with him. Taoist Wushan ate vegetables, he ate vegetables, Taoist Wushan drank wine, and he drank tea. Taoist Wushan’s wine glass was empty, so he helped him pour it, and his own teacup was empty, so he was busy filling it up.
The wine jug was empty, two bowls of rice entered their stomachs, the dish plates were empty, and the teapot was empty.
Wushan Taoist touched his belly and felt that his intestines and stomach were extremely strong. He said to Bai Yutian, "I gave you a delicious meal, but I don't know what to call you. It's disrespectful for you."
Bai Yutian cupped his fists and replied, "Junior Bai Yutian."
Wushan Taoist smiled, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the wine and meat, let's say goodbye."
"Wait, Taoist Master." Bai Yutian stood up quickly and stopped the Taoist in his tracks.
Taoist Wushan replied: "What else can you do, young hero?"
Bai Yutian asked softly: "How is Taoist Master's fortune-telling, divination, and fortune-telling business lately?"
Taoist Wushan smiled heartily: "If the business is good, then I can sit here and wait for you to treat me to dinner."
Bai Yutian stretched out his hand to the stool next to Taoist Wushan: "Taoist Master, I have something to discuss, please sit down for a moment."
Seeing Bai Yutian's serious expression, Wushan Taoist sat down and said with a smile: "Young hero, please tell me something."
Bai Yutian asked nicely: "That Taoist Xuanzhen was wearing black clothes, with a black cloth covering his face, and only one of his eyes was exposed. How did you recognize him at first sight?"
Wushan Taoist smiled and replied: "He is the only person in today's martial arts world who can use silver needles as weapons."
Bai Yutian said: "Since the Taoist Master knows this person well, is there any way to crack the silver needle in his hand?"
Wushan Taoist glanced at the peach wood sword beside Bai Yutian and said: "It is said that the only martial arts in the world is fast, and the move is the move, and the move is the flaw. Anticipate in advance, use offense to defend, use the long to attack the short, Just hurt his arm."
Bai Yutian cupped his fists and said, "Teach me."
Taoist Wushan got up and left his seat, sat behind the lotus tube and the tortoise, and waited for the guests to come to draw lots, interpret the lots, and tell fortunes.
Bai Yutian originally wanted to invite Wushan Taoist to deal with the Dragon Slaying Society together, but seeing that he believed in numerology and was keen on solving puzzles for believers, he didn't dare to ask, so he paid the waiter for the meal, asked for the horses, and galloped towards the north.
Wushan Taoist sent Bai Yutian away, patiently looking at the passers-by, and shouting loudly for someone to take care of the next meal.
...
It is said that the escort car of the Longwei Escort Bureau was traveling all the way and passed through Qiupu in Chizhou. Jiang Longwei planned for the future of the Escort Agency. Accompanied by Taoist Huang Ting and Elder Guhuai, he went to visit Qiupu Villa and make friends with Qiupu Shuangjian.
Jiang Daogong has passed away, and Jiang Longwei's reputation is unknown. In the eyes of people familiar with the matter, the prestige of the Longwei Escort Agency has plummeted.
Qiupu Shuangjian saw the greeting card sent by Jiang Longwei, but didn't take it seriously at all. He asked the housekeeper to reply, saying that he had not returned from a long trip.
After hearing this, Taoist Huang Ting became furious and shouted angrily at the steward: "Tell him Qiu Yipu and Qiu Yibin, it is shameless to give face today, but you will not have face if you want it tomorrow. In my eyes, Taoist Huang Ting, there is no more Qiu Pu swords." , there are only two water snakes in Qiupu."
When the housekeeper saw that Taoist Huang Ting was angry, he felt a little awe and hurriedly went to the village to report.
When Qiupu Shuangjian heard that Taoist Huang Ting was traveling with Gu Huai, he had to give him some thin noodles, go out to greet him, and serve tea in the main hall.
As soon as the five people sat in the hall, Taoist Huang Ting and Gu Huai did not hum, but only drank tea. The atmosphere in the hall was extremely stiff.
Although Jiang Longwei was rejected and received a cold reception, he thought that the escort agency relied on friends from all over the world to give him favors and food, so he showed the proper gesture of goodwill and stood up to offer tea instead of wine to Qiu Pu Shuangjian Qiu Yipu and Qiu Yipu. Brother Qiu Yibin: "Junior Jiang Longwei, on behalf of the Longwei Escort Agency, would like to pay my respects to the two seniors of Qiupu Shuangjian. Today, I will lend flowers to the Buddha and toast to the two seniors with tea instead of wine. I sincerely ask you to take care of me in the future."
If you don’t use the dignity brought to your doorstep, you will not only be neglecting your guests, but also neglecting yourself. Seeing Jiang Longwei's sincerity, Qiupu Shuangjian accepted his respect and took a sip from his tea cup as a return gift.
Taoist Huang Ting saw that the Qiu brothers had drank the tea and said, "Qiu Yipu, Qiu Yibin, you two have drank the tea offered by the children. This is considered to have recognized Jiang Longwei as the leader of the Longwei Escort Bureau. In the future, Longwei If something happens to the escort car of the escort agency in Qiupu, don't blame me, Huang Daoting, for turning his back on me and not taking our old friendship seriously."
Gu Huai said: "Huang Daoting, you can't say this kind of thing. There is no other kind of Qiupu swords. Some of them are the same. If the escort car of Longwei Escort Bureau has an accident in the future in Qiupu, the one and the same will not change." It's like two or three, but you slap yourself in the face, isn't it? Qiu Yipu, Qiu Yibin, am I right?"
Qiu Yipu forced a smile, cupped his fists and said, "Huanghe Yijian always means what he says, and my brother just listens."
Jiang Longwei stood up, cupped his fists and bowed: "This junior thanks the two owners of Longwei Escort Agency!"
The Qiu brothers clasped their fists in return, and Qiu Yipu said: "Chief escort, please take a seat."
Jiang Longwei sat down.
Taoist Huang Ting raised his teacup and paid tribute to the Qiu brothers: "Private matters are over, let's talk about business matters."
Qiu Yibin drank tea and asked, "I dare to ask, what's the official business?"
Taoist Huang Ting drank the tea and handed the tea cup to the steward who was waiting aside. He took a good look at Qiu Yipu and gave a solemn expression, as if to say that the matter was very big and no insignificant people were allowed to be present.
Qiu Yipu understood and handed the teacup to the butler and said: "Uncle Shui, Daxia Gu and Sect Leader Huang finally came here. You go and prepare some food and wine. I want to have a good drink with them."
The butler took away the five tea bowls and prepared the food and drinks.
Seeing the housekeeper walking away, Taoist Huang Ting said: "An evil organization called the Dragon Slayer Society has existed for decades. It has been helping the court to eradicate heroes from the world and has done all kinds of evil. Twenty years ago, it poisoned Zen Master Huiming and Taoist Chunshan. It caused trouble in the world, causing disputes between rivers and lakes. In the battle at Jueqing Valley, countless heroes died in vain. In recent years, the massacres of Qingfeng Village, Yusheng Escort Bureau, and Ludao in Shaoguan have been found to be the work of the Dragon Slaying Club. Now, He secretly murdered Jiang Daogong and wanted to take down Longwei Escort Agency."
Gu Huai then said: "I came here today to seek peace for the Longwei Escort Bureau in the future. Secondly, I invite you to join the team that eliminates the Dragon Slayer Society, and together we safeguard the right path and promote justice for the world of martial arts."
Qiu Yipu said: "My brother rarely goes out of Qiupu. He never asks about the right and wrong of the world. I'm afraid I will disappoint you two."
Taoist Huang Ting stood up and shouted angrily: "Qiu Yipu, I'm not afraid to tell you that if you reject us today, you will become the killer of the Dragon Slaying Society in a short time. When we meet then, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword."
Qiu Yibin saw the fierce look in Huang Daoting's eyes and seemed to be uncomfortable. He stood up and said, "Master Huang, what are you saying? No matter how bad my brother does, he will not become an accomplice of the evil organization."
Huang Ting Taoist tycoon made a sound and sneered: "Zhang Yifan has been fishing for fame for decades. Do you dare to say that he has been committed to the Dragon Slaying Club for many years and has done all kinds of bad things? Lu Lianhai, Luo Lingfeng, Ling Guyan, and Zhu Si are well-known martial arts heroes. Do you dare to believe that Shaoguan Qingfeng Village, Are they involved in the Yusheng Escort Bureau and Ludao's massacre? Master Yuhua Feixian Miaoyi, Old Man Bamboo, and Fire Cloud Divine Palm Zhu Rongfeng are all seniors in the martial arts world. Do you dare to believe that their loyalty to the Dragon Slayer Club is better than their own lives? "
Qiu Yipu said: "Why on earth is this?"
Gu Huai said: "If you have selfish desires, you will have scruples. If you have scruples, you will have a weakness. If you have a weakness, you will choose to obey. With coercion and inducement, those who obey will prosper, and those who go against will perish. There are so many reasons why."
Huang Tingdao said: "Qiu Yipu, Qiu Yibin, good or bad is a choice. If you choose to take the initiative to attack and defend with evil, the evil will one day be destroyed by you. If you choose to defend passively, if the evil develops and grows, you will one day They will be destroyed by evil, whether they are killed or assimilated. In the face of the important matter of annihilating the Dragon Slayer Club, they are either allies or enemies. There is no one who has nothing to do with you. You brothers, think about it today. Refuse to do so. , the righteousness of Jianghu has no place for you to speak."
Qiu Yibin said: "Our brothers only have this much ability, just take it if you need it."
Gu Huai said: "Qiu Yipu, Qiu Yibin, are you talking about what's in your heart?"
Qiu Yipu said: "It's ancient. Qiu Pu's swords have always been one and the same. Why do you ask knowingly?"
Huang Tingdao said: "Okay. You brothers will go north to the Central Plains tomorrow to cheer up the Justice Villa. Let Jiang Yulang post hero posts and hold a martial arts conference to discuss the crusade against the Dragon Slayer Club."
Qiu Yipu said: "Jiang Yulang has stood firm in the Central Plains for more than twenty years, but he is probably inextricably linked to the Dragon Slaying Society."
Gu Huai said: "Don't worry, according to Bai Yutian's guess, Jiang Yulang will be the enemy of the Dragon Slayer Association."
Qiu Yibin said: "In that case, my brother will go north tomorrow and gather friends along the way to build momentum for the martial arts conference to be held at Zhengyi Villa."
The housekeeper and his servants brought the wine and food and put them on the table. Brother Qiu Yipu led Taoist Huang Ting, Gu Huai, and Jiang Longwei to sit down, took the wine pot, called the housekeeper away, and started talking about the wine.
Taoist Huang Ting, Gu Huai, and Jiang Longwei achieved their wish, and their trip was worthwhile. They drank the wine happily, and were sent out of the villa by the Qiu brothers, back to the escort team, and then headed north.
