Chapter 18 Repayment
Chapter 18 “Repay kindness”
It was just a few days. An earth-shaking event was heard in the world.
Former Demon Sect leader, the big devil, let me go back to the world!
When Tang Jinlou learned the news, he couldn't help thinking: Could it be Linghu Chong again? But he was so full that he was full? He was not expelled from the sect, and he actually dared to help the people of the Demon Sect.
Tang Jinlou did not think deeply about this issue. That afternoon, he had already decided to go to Hangzhou to check in. If he didn't do anything else, he would check if Linghu Chong was closed in the prison.
The world was filled with wind and big events, and just listening to the news made the brothers excited. I wish I could go down the mountain to see what the great demon of the Demon Sect looked like. But without Yue Buqun's permission, no one dared to leave the mountain without authorization.
Tang Jinlou is obviously an exception. However, after he left, there were actually no masters in the Huashan Sect. However, Yue Buqun and his wife would return to Huashan within ten days at most. When they came back, Tang Jinlou didn’t know what kind of excuse to go down the mountain. Tang Jinlou thought about it and finally handed over this important task to Gao Genming, who was unconscious, and told him not to go down the mountain easily.
The next morning, Tang Jinlou went down to Huashan alone, rode his horse to the estuary of the Yangtze River, rented a small boat, and went down the river. He prepared to walk along the waterway.
Waterways are indeed the most convenient and fast route in this era, but in just two days, the boat had already come to Wuhankou. The small boat refused to walk down when it arrived in Wuhan. This was its terminal. Tang Jinlou boarded a large ship at the dock. This ship was a special luxury cruise ship for this era. It goes directly from Wuhankou to Hangzhou.
It is said to be a big ship, but it can only accommodate about twenty people, but the single-door and single-family design does look very comfortable.
After a few days of drifting on the river, Tang Jinlou no longer had the passion of rafting on the river and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the country. Every day, he only squatted in his room and practiced Zixia Qigong in his spare time.
At the end of the night, with two soft "thumps" sounds coming into the water, Tang Jinlou, who was sleeping quietly, suddenly opened his eyes.
With a frown, Tang Jinlou turned over, put on his clothes, took his bag, and left the cabin door. The boat stopped by a shallow beach, and the shipwreck said that he would only need to travel for another half a day to reach Hangzhou. This is a ferry on the Yangtze River. The big boat rests here for one night and starts to enter the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou tomorrow. However, in just half a day, he will arrive in Hangzhou.
Tang Jinlou looked around and saw that under the cold moonlight, the big ship was almost silent.
Tang Jinlou snorted coldly in his heart, and pressed his ears to the door of a room next to him. Sure enough, there was no sound inside. When he looked up, he saw that it was only one meter away from the shore, and the shore was flat and open, and there was no possibility of ambush, so he relaxed.
Tang Jinlou walked to the deck and was about to see what tricks the people on the boat wanted to play. He wanted to harm people, wouldn't he poison the food?
After a while, the night wind was silent, and only a bright moon was rising higher and higher.
Suddenly, a very thin and long sound sounded, and the hull actually shook slightly. Tang Jinlou's face changed, knowing that there were several people under the boat digging the boat and letting the water out. Judging from the frequency of the hull shaking, I was afraid that once they stopped, the boat would sink in an instant!
Tang Jinlou glared on the side of the boat with his left foot, jumped over, and fell to the ground several meters apart. Tang Jinlou's right sword was unsheathed, observing the surrounding situation closely, and guarding against someone's sneak attack. The open land is indeed not easy to hide, but it is also not suitable for him to hide.
Suddenly, several people jumped up from the water like swimming fish, and splashed with water. Tang Jinlou frowned slightly, and the lights were already everywhere on the boat. With this effort, Tang Jinlou knew that the moment he had just drilled the boat was at most a small "joke" they made. I am afraid that the two sounds of entering the water he heard in the cabin were also deliberately made by them.
On the deck, more than a dozen men lined up in a row, neat and mighty manner, with great momentum.
Suddenly a long laugh sounded, and the more than ten men immediately divided into two rows. One of them walked out in the middle. Under the red light, Tang Jinlou clearly saw the white beard with his jaw that reached his upper chest and an old face that looked like an orange peel.
"Who is this person?" Tang Jinlou was secretly confused.
The old man laughed and said loudly: "You are Tang Jinlou, that bastard boy in Huashan Sect?"
Tang Jinlou raised his eyebrows and replied, "I'm the boy from Huashan Sect, Tang Jinlou. As for the word "bastard", I'm ashamed to take it and return it to me." Tang Jinlou's voice was not loud, but every word was clear, which was even more shocking than the old man's loud shouting.
When the old man heard this, his face changed, and then he said loudly: "Boy, my lady asked me to remind you that after today, you should be careful when walking. Whether you live or die depends on your luck."
Tang Jinlou had a strange expression and said, "Who is your lady?"
The old man snorted coldly and said, "Are you worthy of asking her name? You are a little brat, you can see that your martial arts are quite good, but unfortunately the water quality is too bad. If the lady hadn't told me, I would have killed you in the Yangtze River! Get out!"
Tang Jinlou smiled and said, "When I see your lady, please 'thank you' her!" He turned around and leaped, disappeared into the dense forest in two or three steps.
Turning around, Tang Jinlou's face had already sunk: Is it life or death? It depends on my luck? Is this avenging gratitude or revenge? But I understand in my heart that Ren Yingying just took the opportunity to teach herself a lesson, and she wouldn't have killed her life.
But after the old man said something, Tang Jinlou was unwilling to go on the water again, as that would make him feel too nervous.
Leave two taels of silver as a deposit from the post station and rented a bad horse. Tang Jinlou swayed toward Hangzhou City. The itinerary changed, and immediately showed the difference between the two modes of transportation. The shipkeeper left behind and said that it would take only half a day to reach Hangzhou City after going down the canal. However, Tang Jinlou rode a horse for a long time, but he could only rest in a small tea shop on the street of a small town. Of course, this also had something to do with the very strange bad horse he rented. He was anxious at the time and didn't look at it. The horse limped and jumped forward halfway!
Tang Jinlou entered the tea shop and immediately two rays of light came over. One was pale and stiff, while the other was sitting in another corner, but a beautiful woman. Tang Jinlou recognized her at just one glance. She was the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, Lan Fenghuang!
Tang Jinlou was secretly shocked: The Five Poisons Sects are very powerful in using poison, so I should be more careful.
Dr. Tea came over to serve tea diligently. Tang Jinlou picked up the tea cup and slowly delivered it to his mouth, but did not immediately vent it. Zixia Gong kept moving in her body, and her ears, nose, mouth, tongue and eyes suddenly became much more sensitive. Suddenly, a hoarse voice laughed "Qiu" and said, "There is poisonous in the tea cup, don't drink it randomly."
Tang Jinlou turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was the stiff-faced tea guest, who was looking at him sinisterly, as if he was watching his good show again. Tang Jinlou raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?"
The man smiled and said, "Don't you believe this poison is called 'Hundred Days Shrimp', which means that after a hundred days, you will be soft and soft, just like mud on the beach..." Before he finished speaking, Tang Jinlou had already drunk the tea while smiling.
The stiff-faced man changed his face and gave him a thumbs up: "What a courage, good ability!"
Tang Jinlou picked up the teacup, looked at it, and said, "As long as you know it is just a cup of ordinary tea, anyone dares to take a sip."
The man said, "That's right!" He looked happy and came over, uninvited to go to Tang Jinlou, took out a small bottle from his arms, and said, "Originally, I prepared another gift for you. That medicine was mainly effective quickly. However, you are really smart in your courage and martial arts. This bottle here is the real '100-day crispy'. Because it is colorless and tasteless, it dissolves into the water, and it is really hard to detect it. Therefore, I did not add it to the tea in advance, for fear that you will die inexplicably... Come on, you can taste it." The man showed Tang Jinlou's invention enthusiastically, but Tang Jinlou was secretly surprised. According to him, after the poison was released, there was no need to worry about whether the enemy was caught.
Tang Jinlou opened the bottle cap of the "Hundred Days Crispy" and put it in his nose to smell it. It had no smell. When he arrived at half a cup of water, he added the bottle of "Hundred Days Crispy" poison. Sure enough, it dissolved like water, and there was no sedimentation at all. Tang Jinlou smelled it with his nose, but it still had no smell. If the poison itself had no smell, it would be difficult to detect before drinking it in his mouth.
Tang Jinlou took a sip, and even the medicine tasted no smell. Tang Jinlou praised: "Good medicine."
The man said proudly: "This medicine is the second greatest masterpiece in my life, second only to the bottle of 'life is worse than death'. This is mainly difficult to detect. Even if a person like me does not observe carefully, it will be difficult to detect it. And that bottle of medicine is mainly because of the amazing effect. Once poisoned, death is definitely better than life. But the poison cannot help him. If he wants to die, he can only do it himself..." The man explained proudly, and suddenly Tang Jinlou raised his head and poured all the glass of poisonous water down his stomach.
The man was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "There are too many, I didn't bring so many antidotes!"
Tang Jinlou laughed, and suddenly a purple mist appeared on his face. Then he opened his mouth and a water arrow immediately spurted out from his mouth.
