MTL - The Melon-eating Swordsman In the Ancient Dragon World-Chapter 64 Acquaintances keep appearing
Chapter 64: Familiar friends keep appearing
“The sky is filled with flowers? Du Wu?” Ding Chengfeng murmured.
You Longsheng’s eyes flashed, “Have you ever heard of these two people?”
Ding Chengfeng nodded, "These two are famous swordsmen in Jiangnan. I have heard Nangong Qi talk about them, but I have never seen them."
“Since he is a famous swordsman, it is natural that he should go and see him.” You Longsheng said.
Ding Baiyun shook his head, "No need."
"Why?"
Ding Baiyun pointed to the entrance of Cuiyun Tower diagonally across the long street, "Because they are right there."
You Longsheng and Ding Chengfeng looked along Ding Baiyun's fingers and saw two people standing face to face on the long street more than a hundred meters away.
At this time, the lights on the long street were like daylight, and their eyesight was also very good, and they could see the opposite side clearly.
One is wearing a green robe and is handsome, the other is wearing a yellow robe, and his eyes are like an eagle. Both of them are staring at each other closely. It is obvious that a war may break out at any time.
You Longsheng also looked at the two of them with interest.
In Gu Long's novels, duels are a very common thing, and they often occur in public places. The most famous one is, of course, the decisive battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng at the top of the Forbidden City.
There are also duels that no one saw, such as Xiao Li Feidao and Shangguan Jinhong, Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Shisan.
But no matter what, the duel between two heroes is a long-lasting plot in Gu Long's novels. This kind of duel happens not only to top masters, but also to ordinary people in the world.
You Longsheng has never heard of the name of lightning swordsman Du Wu, but he is an old acquaintance of him with his sword flying into the sky.
Appeared in "Border Town Prodigal Son", he is considered the second person of Wanmatang. His relationship with Wudang Mountain is unknown. He killed people in Wudang Mountain, but he was able to recruit the help of Wudang celebrities. In the original work, he tried to force Ma Kongqun to take control of Wanmatang. , but the conspiracy was exposed and he died in the hands of Ma Kongqun.
However, You Longsheng looked down on him a little because he didn't dare to attack Ma Kongqun at all.
You Longsheng is confident. His current martial arts are already at the top of the world, no worse than Ma Kongqun twenty years later.
At this time, except for You Longsheng's table, many guests on the street looked at the two people in the long street from a distance and pointed at them. There were many wealthy businessmen and martial arts people among them.
You must know that martial arts masters have always been the targets of wealthy businessmen. In this era, looking after homes and courtyards, sailing boats and horses, having a master to control the battle can save a lot of trouble.
While everyone was still discussing, the man in yellow robes had a sharp look in his eyes, and he rushed forward, drew his sword with his backhand, and the tip of the sword was like a bolt of lightning streaking through the void, piercing the opponent's heart.
The other person seemed to be retreating. His long sword was unsheathed, and a sword shadow danced out, like flying flowers all over the sky. He trapped the opponent's lightning in the sword shadow, and then moved left and right, swaying the sword light.
“Ding-ding-dang-dang…”
After a series of crisp sounds, a long sword suddenly flew out of the battle group and was nailed to the pillar of Cuiyun Tower. The man in yellow robe also flew back, holding his right wrist with his left hand, dripping with blood.
“Lightning Swordsman? In name only!” The man in green sneered and sheathed his sword.
“You!” The man in yellow robe was obviously very angry, but he did not dare to get angry. He could only snort angrily, turn around and leave.
"good!"
"pretty!"
“Good swordsmanship!”
“As expected of flying flowers with a single sword, it is so unpredictable that even the famous Lightning Swordsman in the south of the Yangtze River is no match for me!”
“That’s awesome, Hua Daxia, please go upstairs and talk about it!”
“Uncle Hua, Miss Qingyi upstairs, please go upstairs and sit down.”
Hua Mantian won the duel, so he was naturally the target of everyone's invitation. Lightning swordsman Du Wu's swordsmanship was not weak, and Hua Mantian won easily, which naturally shows that his swordsmanship is even more superb.
Then Hua Mantian entered Cuiyun Tower. It was because of the girl Qingyi upstairs that he had a duel with Du Wu. After watching Hua Mantian leave, You Longsheng and the other three also turned around.
You Longsheng and Ding Chengfeng looked at each other and smiled without saying a word, but Ding Baiyun couldn't hold back and sneered, "What a lightning swordsman, what a flying sword, the names are very nice, that's it?"
Let alone You Longsheng and Ding Chengfeng, even Ding Baiyun is sure to defeat Hua Mantian.
“You are so boastful, but you can slander Hua Daxia?”
Although Ding Baiyun didn't speak loudly, she didn't deliberately lower her voice either. Of course, the guests at the table next to her heard her words and slapped the table.
“Young lady, you don’t know where the world is. Please apologize quickly, otherwise if it gets to the ears of Hua Daxia, things may not be pretty.” Another middle-aged man at the same table said immediately.
You Longsheng and the others turned around and looked at the four people at the table next door.
A big man, a middle-aged man, an old scholar, and a young man in brocade.
It was the big man who slapped the table just now, and it was the middle-aged man who advised Ding Baiyun to stop and apologize.
You Longsheng didn’t care.
He had already observed the four of them when they were sitting next to each other. He was by no means a master of martial arts. Listening to the two people talking now, he could be even more sure of this matter.
Same, how can there be so many masters in the world?
Moreover, You Longsheng didn’t care at all what Ding Baiyun said about Hua Mantian.
Just kidding, doesn’t he still know who Huamantian is?
How powerful and powerful can a person who has offended an enemy and gone far away from the Great Wall to work as a slave for Ma Kongqun have?
If he knew the identities of the three of them, he might not have to come and toast them in person.
Four ordinary local people, seeing the three young and unfamiliar faces of You Longsheng, actually wanted to use this to sell Huamantian. They simply didn’t know what to say!
The big man and the middle-aged man’s voices were loud, and they immediately attracted the attention of several tables of guests on the third floor, and they all looked over.
The old scholar looked at the three of them with inquiring eyes. The young man in brocade also saw Ding Baiyun's appearance. He couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he said hurriedly, "Second uncle, when Hua Daxia and Du Daxia were having a sword fight just now, they were far away from here. , I guess this girl didn’t see it clearly, so just..."
“I can see clearly.”
Ding Baiyun smiled coldly, lifted the scabbard with his left hand, drew the sword and put it away with his right hand, all at once.
by
If it hadn't been for the flash of sword light just now and the still echoing sound of drawing the sword, no one would have reacted, and Ding Baiyun would have drawn the sword.
The next moment, when everyone was still in a daze, the big man closest to Ding Baiyun suddenly had the hair on his head broken, and his messy hair suddenly fell down. He was so frightened that he jumped up.
“Do you still need me to apologize?” Ding Baiyun said coldly.
The four of them shook their heads wildly, then stopped eating, hurriedly paid the bill, and left in dejection.
Other guests did not dare to speak and immediately turned back to eat.
Not long after, a man pretending to be a man came to the three of them, bowed and saluted, "Hello, you three, my gang leader has invited you to go to the fourth floor for a talk!"
Linxian Pavilion has four floors, but the fourth floor is not open to the public. You Longsheng and the others did not show any pretense, so they sat down on the third floor to drink and enjoy the night.
Unexpectedly, there is a person who looks like a big boss on the fourth floor?
You Longsheng turned around and asked, "Who is the leader of your gang?"
The man straightened up, smiled slightly, and said quite proudly, "The leader of the Flying Whale Gang is also the general manager of the 72 land and water docks in the south of the Yangtze River!"

PS small interaction: Where does the original work mention the general manager of the 72nd Water and Land Wharf in the south of the Yangtze River?
