Unofficial History of Song and Liao Heroes

"If you don't want to enter the door, never force it!"

After the old man finished speaking, he walked in the door on his own, ignoring everyone.It's just that the archers on the wall are still vigilant. It seems that whoever dares to make trouble will usher in a fierce arrow rain.

Ran Nanyuan and the others discussed it, and then asked Du Zhiqiu, and learned that they could continue to enter the villa during the Hundred Birds Conference, but they had to wait until the end to leave, so they sent Ran Cong to stay in Zhuxian Town to inquire about his wife's whereabouts, and brought the rest of them in. door to go.

Just as Ran Cong was about to go back to the town, a group of people outside looked at him fiercely, with naked murderous intent in their eyes without hiding it.Ran Cong shivered Lingling, but it wasn't for nothing that his name had the word Cong, so he retreated to the door, chatted with Du Zhiqiu in a low voice, and ran in the door laughing.

The murderers outside were stunned, they agreed to go back to Zhuxian Town?This little general didn't take the Lord's order seriously.

A thoughtful person went to ask Du Zhiqiu, but Du Zhiqiu shook his head like a rattle, saying that he had sworn a poisonous oath not to speak.The angry man had a violent temper and raised his knife to slash, but was stopped by the archer on the wall. Thinking that he was almost shot into a hedgehog, he suddenly lost his temper, thanked Du Zhiqiu shyly, and ran back to the crowd.

This group of murderous people mocked this shameful smart man wantonly, but they all hesitated to enter the villa.Until seeing the two monks Yuan Zhen and Yuan Guang go in, and the Taoist priests Bu Yizi and Wang Jiujiu go in, Fu Ruhui broke through the bodyguards with the fire of gossip burning in his heart, and also went in. The nearby villagers, people from the world, and even beggars were there. Enter the door one after another.Asking the nearby villagers, knowing that the Hundred Birds Festival is not dangerous, and occasionally someone got a big benefit in the past, so they flocked in the door.

Speaking of which, why didn't Ran Cong obey the order, but went in instead. These murderous people entered the door but no one saw him again.It turned out that Ran Cong just asked Du Zhiqiu if he could go in through the gate to drink water and then go out through the small gate. This request was not too much. Du Zhiqiu naturally agreed, and then made an appointment with him not to tell others.By the time some old foxes in the rivers and lakes thought of this episode, Ran Cong had already disappeared.

Besides, Ran Nanyuan and others came in, and led by an archer, they walked through the corridor and courtyard to a square.The archer pointed to three buildings in the distance and asked:

"Where do you want to live?"

I saw the courtyard in the south, with yellow walls and red tiles, simple and solemn, implying Buddhist Zen principles;The birds chirping in the east, not to mention the place where hundreds of birds are raised, must not allow outsiders to enter casually.

In particular, Ran Qianxue was holding a golden cat in her arms, with a pair of thief eyes wandering around, staring at the east and licking her lips. The archer secretly decided to strengthen the protection of the birds.

Ran's martial arts originated from Confucianism's six arts of archery and imperialism, and Taoism's yin and yang changes. He was very happy with the building in the north, so he naturally chose the north.Later, the monks chose the south, the Taoist priests chose the north, the barbarian valley monsters chose the west, and the gangsters chose the west and the north.

There is nothing to do for many days, the villa is waiting for the Hundred Birds Conference to be held, everyone can't fight, they can only practice martial arts, visit friends, buy and sell things, and it is temporarily calm.

During the period, Dugu Xiaoqiu was seriously injured and his family uncle Dugu Sheng instructed him to worship Ran Nanyuan as his teacher. Ran Nanyuan had long wanted to win over her, and when she learned that her daughter Ran Qianxue was missing, Dugu Xiaoqiu took care of her. The daughter died, but she couldn't save face and forcibly accepted apprentices.Now Fengniao came to vote, very happy, after simple etiquette, it can be regarded as accepting this great disciple of Kaishan.

Ran Nanyuan was accepting apprentices for the first time, and he didn't know what to give, so he threw him a Xinjian Minghe, which was a standard alarm weapon. Even the members of Ran's family had one, but Dugu Xiaoqiu had never had a sword, thanked Master loudly , the novelty of playing and waving, was deeply attracted by the special design that the whooping crane can whistle.

It's not that Ran Nanyuan is fooling the children, he's just going out, how can there be many treasures to give away?Although Minghe is a novelty, it is not easy to hold back the old face after giving it to the Kaishan disciple.He had no choice but to promise to send some other good things in the future, and told Dugu Xiaoqiu that this sword is just a warning message, the quality is too low, so you can't forcefully smash the weapon and so on.

Ran Qianxue was roughly the same age as Dugu Xiaoqiu, so she naturally became a senior sister. She was very excited to have a junior brother for the first time, so she pulled him aside, pretending to be old-fashioned, introducing her to her school and teaching martial arts.Ran Nanyuan was in a hurry to inquire about his wife's whereabouts, so he had no intention of teaching martial arts, so he handed over the two children to the generals, so he went to the owner of the villa to visit family friends and inquire about news.

On the eve of the Hundred Birds Festival, Du Zhiqiu was welcoming guests at the door—in fact, maybe they just came here occasionally to watch the excitement.Having nothing to do, teasing the young eagles at the door, just after feeding a piece of fresh meat, Ye Hansheng, dressed in white, gently shook his folding fan, surrounded by disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect, and said condescendingly:

"Brother. I heard that there is a Hundred Birds Festival. Is it here?"

Du Zhiqiu was disgusted by this battle, so he wanted to wave his hand domineeringly, and say "the door is over there, go in by yourself".But thinking of the image of his own Iron Wing Villa, he had no choice but to raise his hand to send the young eagle away, bowed his hands in salute, and led the way earnestly.

A moment later, a handsome general came to the door, with his forehead tied and his hair loose, surrounded by his own soldiers, and asked the same question:

"Brother. I heard that there is a Hundred Birds Festival. Is it here?"

Du Zhiqiu looked at the faintly visible tattoo on his forehead, did not dare to neglect, bowed and saluted, and said respectfully:

"The general has arrived. The boy is very polite. My father has already ordered the boy to wait here. Please come to the villa to rest for a while!"

Such a difference in attitude really made the onlookers a little overwhelmed. After all, only the senior management of the villa knew that the intelligence of the Song Dynasty military, the trading of grain and grass, and the sale of arms were all inextricably linked to the villa.

Leaving aside all kinds of fish and dragons mixed into the villa, the Hundred Birds Conference has finally been held!

It's a pity that the weather is not good. There was a heavy rain in the morning, and the ground was slippery. A hero of the rivers and lakes accidentally stumbled and fell on a big horse, and the surroundings suddenly burst into laughter.Especially Yuan Guang and Fu Ruhui, one is naive and straightforward, the other loves to watch the show. Seeing the glorious image of this good man eating mud and drowning chicken, they laugh the most.

The hero's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he couldn't find a crack in the ground to get in. Frustrated with embarrassment, he drew his knife viciously, wanting to slash.There was constant dry coughing around, and guards from all around Iron Wing Villa flashed their wounded crossbows and slanted spears, which scared the hero back into its sheath.Still unwilling to make a fool of himself in public, he waved his iron sleeve and splashed the stagnant water at Yuan Guang and the others.The laughter around him grew louder, Yuan Zhen, as a senior brother, had the duty to step aside, so as not to suffer innocent people, and at the same time, he was thinking about how to punish Yuan Guang for washing clothes, facing the wall, etc. tonight, and by the way, copying the scriptures.

Well, I am really a conscientious and good brother.

It was a grand event, but it was so lively at the beginning. The owner of the villa didn't expect it. He lined up the house and took the two of them away to take a bath. On the side of the handrail on the second floor of the Yingbin Building facing the square, several important figures were whispering.Taking advantage of the muddy hero being pulled away, there was a moment of silence, a burly old man jumped to the small platform in front of the building, and hurriedly read the opening line, which roughly read: I, Iron Wing Villa, welcome everyone to come, it is a great honor, this time the Hundred Birds Conference will continue as usual, singing and dancing Performances, cuju competitions, bird competitions, and by the way, sell weapons, cuju, clothes, birds and the like.Of course, if you have special requirements, please go to the Yingke Building alone for guidance.

In fact, when Ran Nanyuan came, he already knew the general content of the conference, because it was recorded on several stone tablets around the square, with different font sizes and erosions. Obviously, the content of each session may change, gradually forming the current format of the conference. .

Entering the villa, he won't let him leave easily, and since he is here, his wife may be safer outside, because Ran Nanyuan has discovered that ninjas and bandits are watching his group from afar in the crowd, and no use of force is allowed here. Everyone, make plans later.

Perhaps because of the "mud incident", the opening of the conference was frustrated, the audience shook their heads, and the scene was extremely embarrassing. The owner of the villa and everyone reached a consensus after a simple discussion on the second floor, and a big show was about to debut.

The eagle whistle sounded, and a huge black shadow rushed towards the eyes again with a strong wind. It was the same thin old man who boldly jumped from the back of the eagle to the small high platform, commanded the giant eagle to circle around the high platform for two weeks, then flickered its wings, landed on the high platform, brought The strong wind almost blows away the skinny old man.

Ran Qianxue was originally a little interested when watching the heroes and novice monks fight, but she almost fell asleep in her father's arms when she heard the opening remarks. Double call:

"Eagle! Big eagle!"

Dugu Xiaoqiu grabbed Master's hand, also curious and excited, but calmer than senior sister, just to watch.

"Heroes!" The skinny old man pointed at the giant eagle that was looking forward to his own glory, "This is the eagle in my mountain village, named 'Eating Wolf'. Its wings are like iron, and its steel claws are broken into bones. It is one in a million and has been carefully trained for eight years. Two wings It stretches two feet and can carry children to fly. It is really the number one condor in my villa in a hundred years, and you all know what my villa is capable of. If you need it, you will be satisfied!"

Seeing that all the people in the audience suddenly woke up, they all stared wide-eyed. The old man knew that he had achieved the effect of winning the first place, and he successfully raised the atmosphere. With a wave of his hand, two strong men came to him carrying a thick long bamboo. Next to the small high platform.

Everyone was wondering why they were lifting the bamboo pole, when they saw the old man instructing the giant eagle to "eat the wolf", step on the middle of the bamboo pole with a leap, and the bamboo pole was bent. Bounce into the air.
