Merchant of the Underworld

Although the old lady was exhausted and covered in sweat, her tone was very strong, and she seemed to be looking at me with a sense of awe-inspiring righteousness.

It's just that in the middle of the night, such a rough voice came from the mouth of an old lady, which was really a bit panicking.

"Why don't you take action? Grandpa can't even be considered a hero if he frowns even a little bit." The old lady taunted her neck and shouted loudly.

This guy is quite interesting. He has taken over someone else's body, and before he has fully adapted to it, he actually pretends to be a good guy who doesn't care about death.

And it was obviously impossible for me to do it - this knife would only kill the old lady, but not hurt her at all.

Besides, why did I come to Juma Village?

Don't you just need help from such a fierce Yin spirit?

"Why, don't you have the guts to kill people? It's useless for me to respect you as a man." Seeing that I was reluctant to take action, the guy became a little anxious and glanced at me with contempt, which was both annoying and funny.

"This official keeps claiming to be a hero, but he dares to give his name? Zhang never kills nameless ghosts with his sword." I suppressed a smile and imitated his tone when asking.

"Grandpa doesn't change his name when he's working, and he doesn't change his surname when he's sitting down. Liangshan Wusong is the same!"

It turned out to be Wu Song? I was suddenly startled and almost dropped my ghost-killing sword to the ground.

When it comes to Wu Song, I am afraid that even a grandfather in his seventies or eighties and a child of several years old can tell a story.

Because of the spread of "Water Margin", Wu Song's name has resounded throughout China. It can be said that what everyone likes is not only Wu Song as a person, but also his spirit of hating evil.

So what was Wu Song like in real history? According to "The Legacy of Xuanhe of the Song Dynasty", Wu Song was one of the thirty-six leaders of the Song Jiang Uprising. Wu Song did fight a tiger in Jingyanggang, and avenged his brother in Yanggu County, killing Pan. Jin Lian and Ximen Qing were later suppressed by Zhang Shuye as the Song Jiang uprising, and Wu Song also disappeared. Some said that he and Song Jiang and others were killed together in Bai Huying, some said that Wu Song saw through the world of mortals and became a monk, and some said that Wu Song and the others were recruited and actually followed the team to fight Fang La.

But drinking eighteen bowls of wine in one breath, splattering Yuanyang Tower with blood, and capturing Fang La with one arm are just good wishes in novels and folk stories. In everyone's hearts, Wu Song, the great hero, is always omnipotent.

Is this guy in front of me really Wu Song?

I glanced at the dagger that fell on the ground, and then thought about him killing Widow Zhang, and I immediately came to my senses.

Wu Song's brother Wu Dalang was killed by the adulteress Pan Jinlian. Naturally, he hated people who did not observe women's ethics.

He had an arm broken off, probably cut off during the battle with Zhang Shuye's imperial army, and so did the Yin Ling.

The shape of the sword is exactly the same as Song Shijie's sword, plus his tone just now...

"It turns out to be Wu Erlang who hunts tigers!" I exclaimed half-truthfully, put away the knife, and gave him a fist. "I'm ignorant of Taishan, and I almost accidentally injured a hero. I hope you're not to blame."

Wu Song was stunned when he saw it, and then waved his hand: "What's the point? You don't know the Tao without fighting. Just with your sword skills, you are one of the best in Liangshanbo."

I was quite embarrassed to say this.

He was possessed by a thin and withered old lady, and judging from the situation, he had just possessed her and had not yet fully adapted to it. But he forced me into dangerous situations before and had to use the Yin Yang Sword Technique. I really can't deserve this compliment.

But then again, no matter what, I can be considered as defeating the famous traveler Wu Song, and I can't help but feel a little proud.

"Second Master Wu, why are you living in Huangma Village?" I took two steps forward and asked the old lady possessed by Wu Song as she walked into the house.

"This..." When Wu Song heard my question, he stared blankly for a long time. It seemed that it was only now that he remembered that he was no longer the Takejiro he used to be. He was just a ghost.

"Hey, this is a long story!" Wu Song sighed and told me the reason.

At that time, Song Jiang led 36 people to launch an uprising in Liangshanbo, and Wu Song was among them. The Liangshan army moved to Qingzhou and Puzhou successively. The officers and soldiers fled wherever they went, and captured more than ten cities in a blink of an eye.

Because Liangshan used the slogan of killing the rich and helping the poor, the people also supported it very much.

It was a pity that Liangshan had become a thorn in the side of the imperial court at that time, and was soon ambushed by Zhang Shuye, the magistrate of Haizhou. The warship was burned, most of the rebel army lost, and a group of leaders, including Song Jiang, were also captured.

Because they refused to surrender, Song Jiang and others were massacred and their heads were hung on the city wall for public display. Wu Song broke an arm during the war and escaped in the chaos.

Seeing that the uprising failed and all his eldest brothers died, Wu Song was heartbroken and became a monk in a temple.

Although he wears Buddhist robes, he lives a heroic life, so how can he read any Buddhist scriptures? Coupled with his murderous aura, not even the Buddha could influence him.

When he passed away, a trace of his remnant soul floated out, wandered all over the sky, and finally attached itself to this ring sword.

This knife was the object of his wanton hatred back then, and only in this knife could he feel at ease.

The world has changed in the blink of an eye, and no one knows how many years have passed.

Somehow, a sudden burst of resentment woke him up from the sword - the old lady was weak in arms and legs and could not get out of bed. She watched her daughter-in-law steal people every day, full of resentment and resentment, but something happened to happen. , awakened Wu Song.

Then, Wu Song discovered Widow Zhang's shameless behavior.

Li Lai hated adultery the most, so he drew a knife in his dream and killed Widow Zhang directly.

But after this time, his Yin Qi was used too much and he could no longer return to the Jie Dao, so he could only temporarily possess the old lady's body.

After talking about the past, Wu Song turned his head and looked at me, and asked in confusion: "My yin energy is almost exhausted, how did you find me? And why is your yang energy so thick?" Are you, like Mr. Gongsun, an accomplished person?"

"It's hard to talk about attaining the Tao, but I do know the magic of Yin and Yang. I have a way to help you return to the sword. And I also know where the heroes and heroes of Liangshan who died unjustly are. Are you willing to reunite with them?" Reunion?" I said.

"Are you serious? Do you really want me to see Brother Song Jiang again? Brother Zhishen?" When Wu Song heard this, his eyes sparkled and he held my hand tightly.

"Seriously." I nodded: "Not long ago, I just met the ghost of Coach Lin and buried him where he wanted to go."

"Thank you so much!" Wu Song said, with tears streaming down his face, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow to me.

"Wu Erlang." I quickly stopped him and said very sincerely: "To be honest, before this, I have one more thing to ask for! Before coming here, I didn't even know that you were living in Juma Village. The purpose is just to find a fierce Yin spirit to help me eradicate the Nine-Colored Demon. This demon has fascinated a group of children and wants to drain their essence and blood through the color in their dreams, so..."

"Where is that pervert now?" Wu Song immediately raised his eyebrows and asked angrily before I could finish.

"I have burned the talisman together with the child's clothes. As long as she performs her magic again, I will notice it immediately." I replied.

"Okay! Take me to find them and kill them! This kind of adulterer, whether they are human or ghost, this family will never let go." Wu Song said bitterly.

Wu Song and I sat in the hut for a while, and suddenly we felt our eyes flickering in and out, and our eyelids suddenly became extremely heavy.

"Here we come!" I screamed urgently, took out a magic talisman and said to him: "Second Master Wu, we must not miss. If she escapes, those children will be in danger."

"You still don't know the ability of my traveler Wu Song? Just hurry up and lead the way." Wu Erlang, who hates hatred, is actually more anxious than me and hurriedly urges.

I stopped talking nonsense and directly put the talisman on it.

At the same time, my eyes sank, and I went deep into Li Xiaomeng's dream.

In front of his eyes, he saw the deep streets and alleys again.

Li Xiaomeng walked very carefully, turning her head to look from time to time, as if she was afraid of being caught by me again.

(PS: The deeds about Wu Song here are based on the more accurate "The Legacy of Xuanhe of the Song Dynasty" and "The Thirty-six People of Song Jiang", which are quite different from the novel. Of course, Wu Song has another version, according to "Lin'an County Chronicle" and " "Zhejiang Tongzhi" records that Wu Song, a Dutou promoted by the magistrate of Hangzhou, assassinated the son of Grand Master Cai Jing due to an injustice, and was captured and sentenced to death in prison.)
