Tu Gou sits in the roadside, where pondered diligently to find the Central Plains person, the Old Man Mu acupuncture point has untied, is bored to death kicks the gravel, brandishes long sword that oneself bought newly, spiteful a few words did not say. 屠狗坐在路边,冥思苦想去哪能找到中原人,木老头穴道已经解开,百无聊赖地踢石子,挥舞自己新买的长剑,赌气一句话不说。 Tu Gou faces the difficult position, he knows nothing about Jade City, at present is vacant, is unable, he to clamp Old Man Mu to stroll half evening randomly, went out of town bewilderedly, the horizon just put brightly, except for them, on the road a person's shadow does not have. 屠狗面临困境,他对璧玉城一无所知,眼前茫然,根本无从着手,他夹着木老头乱逛了半个晚上,莫名其妙地出了城,天边刚刚放亮,除了他们,路上连个人影都没有。 „...... Tu Gou talked over had gone to the place the institute, gambling establishment, inn, tavern, the blacksmith village and Bladesman village” repeatedly, hoped to find the clue, quite a while did not have the clue, turned head saying: „Is so troublesome in Western Region wanderer Jianghu? I also think that is the pleased love and hate, unrestrained, finally is also similar to Central Plains, no, is more difficult than Central Plains, before raised some Kongtong Faction at least also people to know.” “记院、赌场、旅店、酒馆、铁匠村、刀客村……”屠狗反复念叨曾经去过的地方,希望从中找出线索,半天也没有头绪,扭头说:“在西域闯荡江湖这么麻烦吗？我还以为是快意恩仇、无拘无束呢,结果跟中原也差不多,不,比中原还艰难,以前提起崆峒派起码还有人知道。” Old Man Mu disdain snort/hum, has raised head to look at the day, disguises not to hear the complaint of Tu Gou, but leans to state ** so intense, his callousness only maintained a small meeting, the arrow step rushes to front of Tu Gou, „pleased love and hate and unrestrained, that was my former life, you also fell far short, first you must have me the ten years ago times, next you must be able to see through, your present head does not straighten out......” 木老头不屑地哼了一声,仰头望天,假装没听到屠狗的抱怨,可是倾述的**如此强烈,他的冷酷只保持了一小会,箭步冲到屠狗面前,“快意恩仇、无拘无束,那是我从前的生活,你还差得远呢,首先你得有我十年前的功夫,其次你得能看得开,你现在的脑袋根本不开窍……” Tu Gou knows that Old Man Mu wants to say anything, shakes the head again and again, „I your life, you formerly were a demon, slaughtered innocents and stops at no evil, was chased down everywhere, unenviable.” 屠狗知道木老头想说什么,连连摇头,“我不过你的生活,你从前是魔头,滥杀无辜、无恶不作,到处被人追杀,没什么值得羡慕的。” The Old Man Mu eye stares, changed the idea in a flash, „, is right, I have now turned a new leaf, works oneself to death for empirical ego dozens -year-old Dragon King, was held under duress by the former defeated, kills compares to ascend to heaven personally also difficultly, is really good, is really good, don't I early choose now this road? Do you and your this look look at me to do?” 木老头眼睛一瞪,转瞬又改了主意,“哈哈,也对,我现在改邪归正了,替小我几十岁的龙王卖命,被从前的手下败将挟持,杀个人比登天还难,真好,真不错,我怎么早不选择现在这条路呢？你、你这个眼神瞧我干嘛？” Tu Gou is sizing up Old Man Mu up and down, probably first time sees such short person, „should your personal enemy be many?” 屠狗正上下打量木老头,好像第一次见到这么矮的人,“你的仇人应该不少吧？” „That is natural, proliferates the world, if some people of organizations, can establish an army.” “那是当然,遍布天下,要是有人组织,都能建立一支军队。” „Are the Central Plains personal enemy many?” “中原的仇人多不多？” „Nine big factions are my personal enemy, you said that are many?” “九大派都是我的仇人,你说多不多？” Tu Gou knows that he is talking big, „Kongtong Faction has a grudge with you, that is because of me, enmity how other schools tie?” 屠狗知道他在说大话,“崆峒派跟你有仇,那是因为我,其它门派怎么结的仇？” „Can you manage? Is the aging past events, who can remember?” The brain of Old Man Mu is rotating fast, is thinking to be how good the lie circle, „the jade clear Faction, is one of the nine big factions, must snatch my Five Holes Fist, several old were hit by me scared shitless, has the bitter hatred.” “你管得着吗？都是陈年往事,谁能记得住？”木老头的脑子在快速转动,想着怎么将谎言圆好,“玉清派,是九大派之一吧,非要抢我的五洞拳,几个老道被我打得屁滚尿流,算是结下深仇大恨了。” Tu Gou nods, just arrived in dragon court he to hear the jade clear five old bitter experiences, therefore a racket on the leg, leap stand up, „good, this idea!” 屠狗点点头,刚一到龙庭他就听说过玉清五老的遭遇,于是在腿上一拍,腾地站起身,“好,就这个主意了！” „Any idea, do not act unreasonably.” Old Man Mu thought faintly own boast possibly said excessively. “什么主意,你可别乱来。”木老头隐隐觉得自己的大话可能说过头了。 „In Western Region I am the obscure individual, you may be greatly famous.” “在西域我是无名之辈,你可大大有名。” „That was formerly, now is not good, did not believe you to find the person to ask casually, few remembered me personally, Dragon King was the reputation is prominent.” “那是从前,现在不行了,不信你随便找人问问,没几个人记得我,龙王才是声名显赫。” „Dragon King is not good, he is closing in name still up, so long as in any case Kongtong Faction and jade clear Faction hates you to be good.” “龙王不行,他名义上还在闭关呢,反正只要崆峒派和玉清派恨你就行。” „Do you want to work as bait with me?” “你想拿我当诱饵？” „Right, this called to lure the snake from its hole.” “对,这叫引蛇出洞。” „Why to take you to direct? You go to the wooden scoop prostitute not to give money, making me seize become visible, publicizes everywhere, said that the Kongtong elders are domineering and tyrannical, if in Jade City has the Kongtong disciple, definitely will come out to look for you.” “干嘛不拿你自己引？你去瓢娼不给钱,让我捉个现形,到处一宣扬,说崆峒长老横行霸道,璧玉城里要是有崆峒弟子,肯定会出来找你。” Tu Gou has thought a meeting, puts out a hand to grasp Old Man Mu, „improper, Dragon King had said makes me take responsibility, I must take you to work as the bait definitely more appropriate.” 屠狗想了一会,伸手去抓木老头,“不妥,龙王说过让我做主,我决得还是拿你当诱饵更合适。” The matter has such decided that the Old Man Mu fierce opposition, uses both persuasion and threats, one can offer the unthinkable advice, one will shout abuse, with slaughter that this does not relate handsome, therefore suffers many vulgar language, Tu Gou earnestly argued to each accusation, but is not willing to change the mind, instead continually improves own „luring the snake from its hole” idea. 事情就这么定了,木老头激烈反对,软硬兼施,一会出匪夷所思的主意,一会破口大骂,与此毫无关系的屠翩翩因此蒙受不少污言秽语,屠狗对每一种指责都认真地辩解,但就是不肯改变主意,反而不断完善自己的“引蛇出洞”之计。 After a double-hour, Old Man Mu has submitted, not only submits, but also starts to help taking care warmly. 一个时辰之后,木老头屈服了,不仅屈服,还开始热情地帮着张罗。 Arrived that evening, a simple strategy turned has caused a stir in the martial arts contest congress of entire city. 到了这天傍晚,一个简单的计策变成了轰动全城的比武大会。 The reason that causes the stir has two \; first, the organizer extremely arrogant slogan of: The first under heaven big demon challenges the world hero, has resentful seeking vengeance, has a grudge to revenge, not the resentment does not have the enmity to result in the gold. 引起轰动的原因有两个,一是组织者狂妄的口号:天下第一大魔头挑战天下英雄,有怨报怨,有仇报仇,无怨无仇得黄金。 The gold was second stirs up the interest the reason, but the amount drifted from place to place, from dozens two to over ten thousand two, various views had. 黄金就是第二个惹起兴趣的原因了,但是数额飘忽不定,从几十两到上万两不等,各种说法都有。 Suddenly, Lü Qiying discovered oneself have become the busy person, everybody said that the martial arts contest monetary reward is guaranteed by him, knew that with comes the inquiry that does not know. 突然间,吕奇英发现自己成了大忙人,大家都说比武赏金由他担保,认识与不认识的都过来询问。 Lü Qiying is badly battered, wants to ask to understand, actually could not find Old Man Mu and Dragon King, must live in seclusion and decline visitors, prayed secretly oneself can also live is leaving Jade City. 吕奇英焦头烂额,想问个明白,却找不到木老头与龙王,只得闭门谢客,偷偷祈祷自己还能活着离开璧玉城。 Gu Shenwei was that afternoon hears the news, was startled not too big nor too small, decided to watch changes quietly quickly, wants to have a look at these two old men to toss about anything to come, but he knows, oneself cannot return to Lü Qiying house. 顾慎为是当天下午听到消息的,不大不小地吃了一惊,很快决定静观其变,想看看这两个老头能折腾出什么来,但他知道,自己再不能回吕奇英的住宅了。 The news biography of martial arts contest is stranger, even some people said that the fellow who called Old Man Mu accumulated a number of buried treasures, including the innumerable gold, silver, and jewelry and martial arts secrets, so long as can in him hand/subordinate insist that over ten moves, had the opportunity to slice. 比武的消息越传越离奇,甚至有人说那个叫木老头的家伙积累了一批宝藏,其中有无数的金银珠宝与武功秘笈,只要能在他手下坚持十招以上,都有机会分一杯羹。 Jade City did not have any something new for a long time, „the first big demon” had been chewed one by everybody really all day. 璧玉城好久没什么新鲜事了,“第一大魔头”着实被大家咀嚼了一整天。 The martial arts contest place is scheduled near a south city inn and to record the institute, the entire backyard leapt, can accommodate 110 people, the time is in the evening. 比武地点定于南城边上的一家旅店兼记院,整个后院都腾出来了,能容纳110来人,时间就是当晚。 Day also not black, Tu Gou arrives at the entrance to look around, Old Man Mu does not worry but actually, falls on the chair, enjoys one obese the grape that the female feeds, „Kongtong Faction does not come, jade clear will send also to come, relax, old man rallying point will have.” 天还没黑,屠狗就到门口张望,木老头倒不着急,倒在椅子上,享受一名肥胖记女喂来的葡萄,“崆峒派不来,玉清派也会来,放心吧,老头这点号召力还是有的。” Facts showed, Old Man Mu rallying point he has not imagined that greatly, his reputation is several years ago rushes, mainly disseminates north Sky Mountain, Western Region understands very little, after many years of dreariness, the person who knew were less, when everybody discovered when the so-called 12,000 gold were very possible is the false information, „the first big demon” did not have many attractions, only remaining helped the drinking desire the laughingstock. 事实证明,木老头的号召力没有他想象得那么大,他的名声是十几年前闯下来的,主要是在天山以北传播,西域知之甚少,经过多年沉寂,知道的人更少了,当大家发现所谓的12000黄金很可能是虚假消息时,“第一大魔头”就没有多少吸引力,只剩下助酒兴的笑料了。 Until the day gets dark completely, sparse came dozens individuals, looked that dressed up was just poor Bladesman that money squandered, they did not let up any opportunity of making money, even if were 120 money can also tempt them to resort to arms. 直到天完全黑下来,才稀稀拉拉地来了几十个人,一看装扮就是刚把银子花光的穷刀客,他们不放过任何赚钱的机会,即使是120银子也能引诱他们动刀。 Tu Gou could not calm down, Old Man Mu has traded one set of comfort words, „depending on my experience, the genuine experts covertly comes, when I reveal the real skill, they jump, in the past my frequently this, the shocking audience, frightened everybody to jump, hehe, interesting interesting.” 屠狗沉不住气了,木老头又换了一套安慰的话,“凭我的经验,真正的高手都是偷偷摸摸来的,等我亮出真本事,他们才跳出来,当年我就经常这样,震惊全场,吓大家一跳,呵呵,有趣有趣。” This is matter that Tu Gou most is worried about, Old Man Mu does not have the remaining many real skills. 这正是屠狗最担心的事,木老头可没剩下多少真本事。 The day is getting more and more black, the person who catches up with finally over 100, all stands in the courtyard, keeps creating a disturbance, requesting „the first big demon” a bit faster to come out. 天越来越黑,赶来的人总算超过100,全都站在院子里,不停地起哄,要求“第一大魔头”快点出来。 Old Man Mu makes in the shop the waiter ignite, finally presented. 木老头让店里伙计点着火把,终于亮相了。 On the table is putting the chair, on chair is he. 桌子上放着椅子,椅子上才是他。 Laughter louder, the people direct, comes to see the lively person to think that purely this has not come white/in vain, is only sees with one's own eyes the dwarf old man on the value. 哄笑声更响了,众人指指点点,纯粹来看热闹的人觉得这趟没白来,光是亲眼看到侏儒老头就挺值。 Old Man Mu looks serious, pulls out four spindle gold from the bosom, is holding two, fans slightly, the sound of crowd was weak immediately. 木老头神情严肃,从怀里掏出四锭黄金,一手托着两只,微微扇动,人群的声音立刻弱了下去。 Old Man Mu the gold that draws out from Lü Qiying there has not remained many, Tu Gou daytime went to the gambling establishment to win has worked as the qualification, the majority was used for package of inns, the other four spindles worked as the monetary reward. 木老头从吕奇英那里支取的黄金没剩多少,还是屠狗白天去赌场又赢了一些当本钱,一多半都用来包旅店,余下四锭当赏金。 Without 12,000 in legend, but value 500-600 money, enough attraction on hand tight Bladesman. 没有传说中的12000,但怎么也值五六百银子,足够吸引手头正紧的刀客们了。 „Besides gold, other advantage.” Old Man Mu announced loudly, „that is requests me to be the master, I will pass on his unmatched in the world martial arts.” “除了黄金,还有别的好处。”木老头大声宣布,“那就是拜我为师,我会传他天下无敌的武功。” Black face Bladesman said everybody's doubts, „I, if can defeat you, why to acknowledge you as the teacher?” 一名黑脸刀客说出大家的疑惑,“我要是能把你打败,干嘛拜你为师？” Old Man Mu jumps the tabletop, is placed gold on the chair, „this you do not understand, an old horse knows the way, old and strong and hale and hearty, says the old advantage, even if you can hit me-- naturally that was impossible-- needs to the thing that I studied also many......” 木老头跳到桌面,将黄金摆在椅子上,“这你就不懂了,老马识途、老而弥坚、老当益壮,都是说老的好处,就算你能打过我——当然那是不可能的——需要向我学的东西也不少……” Bladesman do not care to acknowledge as teacher, their eyes are all staring at that four spindle gold, Bladesman may not jump anxiously, said loudly: „Acknowledged as teacher said again, won you to attain the complete gold, yes?” 刀客们可不关心拜师,他们的眼睛全都盯着那四锭黄金,一名刀客急不可奈地跳出来,大声说:“拜不拜师再说,打赢你就能拿到全部黄金,是吧？” „Right, but that is only change, acknowledges as teacher is the big end.” “没错,不过那只是小钱,拜师才是大头。” „Reducing socket does not matter, I want the gold, is that real?” “大头小头无所谓,我就要黄金,那是真的吧？” The shop owner is a thin old man, has stood near the table, the eye has not left the gold, was stared several to respond continually by Old Man Mu, „real, I guarantee with this shop.” 店主是名精瘦的老者,一直站在桌边,眼睛就没离开过黄金,被木老头连瞪几眼才反应过来,“是真的,我拿这家店担保。” The problem solve, Bladesman has drawn a sword, planned that snatches fights a battle to force a quick decision in front of others, „comes, young demon.” 问题解决了,刀客拔刀,打算抢在别人前面速战速决,“来吧,小魔头。” „Yeah, the martial arts contest contends in martial arts, should not be chaotic the nickname, I called Old Man Mu, was ‚first under heaven big demon’, wants to contend in martial arts with me, reports in advance on to come.” “哎,比武就比武,可别乱起绰号,我叫木老头,乃是‘天下第一大魔头’,想跟我比武,先报上名来。” „tall Futong.” “高福通。” „what Menhe does send? Who is the master?” “何门何派？师父是谁？” „Without the school, the master is my father.” “没有门派,师父就是我爹。” „Which person?” “哪的人？” „Two Hezhuang.” “二河庄。” „Which two Hezhuang?” “哪的二河庄？” „Loulan country two Hezhuang, asked that these do do? Your gold I won in any case.” “楼兰国二河庄,问这些干嘛？反正你的金子我赢定了。” Tu Gou throws over the cape to mix in crowd, removed this Bladesman, actually does not need him to identify one's role when first coming on stage, Tu Gou can also recognize this person definitely is not Central Plains greatly sends the disciple. 屠狗披着斗篷混在人群中,将这名刀客排除了,其实不用他自报家门,屠狗也能认出这人肯定不是中原大派弟子。 Tu Gou did not say too clear, but in his eyes, the Central Plains prestigious family honest disciples have the out of the ordinary temperament, does not have in these people of his side. 屠狗说不太清,但在他眼里,中原名门正派的弟子自有与众不同的气质,在他身边的这些人都没有。 He is a little disappointed. 他有点失望。 Old Man Mu was very happy, draws out long sword, shook two, „the treasure of just buying, happen to tries on you, tells you, the old man is the military study rare talent, the sword and spear sword halberd and fist palm refers to the leg, all fine, the swordsmanship is weakest one......” 木老头却挺高兴,拔出长剑,晃了两下,“刚买的宝贝,正好在你身上试试,告诉你,老头是武学奇才,刀枪剑戟、拳掌指腿,无一不会无一不精,剑法是最弱的一项……” tall Futong early listened to tire of his talking incessantly, bellowed, brandished a sword to attack. 高福通早听厌了他的唠叨,大吼一声,挥刀攻了过来。 Tu Gou pushes in the crowd slowly, does not let off any person, several same are throwing over Bladesman of cape with him, was raised the hood to look by him, nearly stirs up the battle. 屠狗在人群中慢慢地挤来挤去,不放过任何一个人,好几个跟他一样披着斗篷的刀客,都被他掀起兜帽瞧了一眼,险些惹起争斗。 Old Man Mu too does not adapt to the long sword obviously, dingdong has fought 20-30 moves, loudly calls out „”, in tall Futong the left shoulder the sword, leaves the stage in the laughter of people distressedly, just before leaving beforehand looked at a four spindle gold reluctant to part. 木老头显然不太适应长剑,叮叮当当斗了二三十招,才大叫一声“中”,高福通右肩中剑,在众人的哄笑声中狼狈退场,临走之前恋恋不舍地望了一眼四锭黄金。 Bladesman that goes on stage to contend in martial arts meets one, occasionally also will have the dispute, the Old Man Mu sword more with more is actually suitable, won is also getting quicker and quicker, starts from the eighth match, nobody can meet his over ten moves. 上场比武的刀客一位接一位,偶尔还会发生争执,木老头的剑却越用越顺,赢得也越来越快,从第八位对手开始,没人能接他十招以上。 „Where is the Central Plains expert at?” Tu Gou was whispering low voice, has not noted outside the inn wall to be many dozens audiences, these people openly or covertly, several even mixed in the crowd, has surrounded the garden unclearly. “中原高手在哪呢？”屠狗小声嘀咕着,没注意到旅店墙外多了数十位观众,这些人或明或暗,有几位甚至混在人群中,隐然已经将庭院包围。 ( to be continued ) （未完待续）
