The fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is to commemorate Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a loyal minister of the Chu State during the Warring States Period. Because he was worried about the country and the people, he was framed and exiled by corrupt officials. Finally, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the Miluo River on the fifth day of May. In order to commemorate this upright doctor, the people wrapped glutinous rice into bags and threw them into the river, hoping that the fish and shrimp would eat the rice and not eat Qu Yuan's bones. Later, it continued as a tradition and gradually evolved into the Dragon Boat Festival. It has been passed down for thousands of years and has not changed. Every year on the fifth day of May, there are rice dumplings eating and dragon boat racing.
On this day, all the young men excitedly carried the oars to the dragon boat on the lakeside. The whistle blew, and all the participants rowed the oars vigorously. The dragon boat was rowed vigorously as everyone competed. The boat shuttled forward quickly, and the paddle board made waves as it sailed backwards. All the women and children on both sides of the strait were shouting and cheering, which was very lively.
In the Liu Family Courtyard, Liu Qiankun was sitting alone in the hall. Hearing the noise outside, he inadvertently raised his head and looked outside the door, and tapped the table lifelessly, as if he had something on his mind. Can't let go.
Li Yuqun came to the table with a kettle in his right hand and said: "My husband, today is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Dragon boat racing is very lively outside. Why are you here alone with a worried face? Do you have something on your mind?" Problems that can't be solved? Come and talk to me so that I can share your worries and solve your problems. You see that you have lost a lot of weight in this period of time. Is there really anything that worries you? "
Liu Qiankun raised his head and said, "Madam, to tell you the truth, there is indeed something that has been bothering me for a while, and I have never been able to untie this knot."
Li Yuqun said seriously: "I wonder what kind of problems will always bother you. I think there is no problem in the world that can be difficult for you. You are the current leader of the martial arts alliance and there are still problems that you can't solve."
Liu Qiankun nodded and said: "This is not a problem that can be solved by ordinary people. I don't know when and where six eminent monks came from and used their own mental methods and morals to compose a secret book of "Shenlong Jue". I heard that as long as you get this With the secret book, I can unify the world, and my position as the leader of the martial arts alliance will definitely be replaced. How can I not worry about this matter?"
Li Yuqun said: "Your Liu family's swordsmanship is not the best in the world and no one can compete with it. Why are you afraid of the secret book of "Dragon Art" composed by six eminent monks? It's not as scary as you said, right?"
Liu Qiankun calmed down and said: "If it wasn't so powerful, it wouldn't be groundless. Our Liu family's Blue Moon Whirlwind Sword Technique has a history of more than five hundred years since it was created. In the entire Central Plains, we have never encountered a real sword technique. The opponent, the best sword in the world is worthy of the title. It has only been passed to me for five years. Now that a secret book of "Shenlong Jue" has come out, it is rumored that even the swordsmanship of my Liu family is not its opponent. If one day What should I do if my position as the leader of the martial arts alliance is replaced? How will I stand in the entire martial arts world in the future? I will become a laughing stock in their mouths."
Li Yuqun said in surprise: "Then what should we do? We must find a good way. We must not continue to develop. This will definitely not do any good to our Liu family."
Liu Qiankun said: "Now I have thought of a perfect plan. On July 15th, I will gather the heads and disciples of various sects to denounce Huatuo Temple and ask them to hand over the secret book. As long as they are willing to hand over the secret book to ensure their strength, I will I understand that they won’t be able to cause much trouble, so this is also a method that has the best of both worlds.”
Li Yuqun praised: "My husband, this method is really the best strategy and the best way. It is a once and for all solution. With this secret, I will no longer be afraid of any sect coveting the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance."
Liu Qiankun's eyes were full of affection and he said: "Madam, I will be practicing the Blue Moon Whirlwind Sword in seclusion for the past two months. During these two months, I must improve my skills to reach the peak, so that I can have the capital to compete with the six eminent monks.
Li Yuqun said: "Oh my god, we have been in retreat for two months, so we don't have to wait until two months before we can see each other. This time is too long for me. It's like a year!"
Liu Qiankun smiled and said: "What I mean by seclusion is to find a relatively remote place where few people come and go, so that you can concentrate on practicing your sword. As long as the Blue Moon Whirlwind Sword is used, every grain of sand will be used to kill people." , as long as a person touches the determined range, he will definitely die. Now I can only find a sparsely populated place to practice this swordsmanship. I still need you to personally deliver meals to me three times a day. We can meet at least three times a day. .”
Li Yuqun nodded and said, "That's good, so as not to make me suffer from lovesickness. Is this place ready?"
Liu Qiankun thought for a while and said: "This place is not far from the Liu family compound, about five miles away! It is a good place with sparsely populated areas."
Li Yuqun worriedly said: "It's so remote there. Is there a house to live in, are there beds, and generally speaking, will I have a place to stay in the evening."
Liu Qiankun smiled and said: "Madam, please don't worry. I have followed my father here to practice the Blue Moon Whirlwind Sword Technique since I was four years old. There are houses and drinking water there already. In a day or two, my family will come to clean it. It's comfortable." It’s very good. When you deliver the meal tomorrow, I will take you there to have a look, so that you won’t want to come back.”
Li Yuqun said: "How can I contact you when I deliver the meal, so that I can deliver the meal to you safely?"
Liu Qiankun said: "You come here on horseback every day. I can hear the sound of your horse's hooves as long as it is a mile away. My hearing is ten times that of ordinary people. I can hear clearly any sound of wind and grass. , I will hold my sword back when the time comes, and you will be absolutely safe here."
Li Yuqun said: "Let's not chat here anymore. It will be almost noon if we continue chatting. Today is a rare holiday. Let's go out for a walk and buy some gifts for Xiaobao and Si'er to make them happy. Happy."
Liu Qiankun smiled and said: "You see, I am a person who worries all day long. Today during the Dragon Boat Festival, I will buy some red silk threads and bells for Xiaobao and Si'er, as well as some of their favorite foods. If they see these things You will definitely be delighted.”
After saying that, the two stood up and tidied their clothes. Liu Qiankun took Li Yuqun's hand and walked out of the hall and out of the Liu family courtyard. Li Yuqun said: "It's still early, why don't we go to the river to watch the dragon boat racing competition? Take advantage of the excitement."
Liu Qiankun said: "Exactly one year has passed since the dragon boat racing competition. When I think about this, I won first place last year. That feeling is still fresh in my memory!"
The two of them strolled to the river. At this time, the people in the dragon boat race had already dispersed, and there was no one. Liu Qiankun smiled and said: "Look, we came at the wrong time. Everyone has dispersed now. You can't see that kind of thing." Inspiring dragon boat racing is really full of regret!"
Li Yuqun said: "We can't catch up this year. If we keep up our efforts next year, the market is more lively now, so this trip will be in vain."
Liu Qiankun nodded and said, "What the lady said is true. Let's go shopping on the street and buy some things we want."
The market was indeed very lively, with crowds of people, and vendors were selling non-stop. Liu Qiankun suddenly became energetic at this time. They bought some rice dumplings, red silk thread, bells, vegetables and meat.
When they arrived at the house, the wet nurse brought a five-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl to Liu Qiankun and Li Yuqun. The wet nurse said: "Young master and madam, you are finally back. The young master and the young lady have been asking for you!"
Li Yuqun said: "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's go to the street to buy some vegetables, meat, red silk thread and bells."
The boy shouted: "Mom, dad, did you go to the street to buy us anything good?"
Li Yuqun took out the red silk thread and the bell from his pocket and said, "Little Bao Si'er, look at what these are. These are gifts for you today."
Liu Qibao and Liu Qisi took the gift and happily said in unison: "I like this gift so much."
Li Yuqun strung the bells with silk threads and put them on their wrists. They looked at their wrists and shook them twice. The bells made a loud clanging sound, and they danced with joy.
Liu Qiankun stroked Liu Qibao's hand and said: "Xiao Bao Si'er, I will go to a relatively remote place to practice swordsmanship in the past two months. You must be obedient at home and don't let your mother worry too much. Be a good person." Child, do you know?"
Liu Qibao said: "Dad, we understand. We will not let mom worry too much. When I grow up, I will be a hero like dad."
Liu Qiankun was very happy after hearing this and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Xiaobao to have such ambitions at such a young age. He is much better than your father when he was a child. He must be a great person when he grows up."
After lunch, Liu Qiankun rode a maroon horse, saluted on his back, and headed west. Within a quarter of an hour, he had arrived at a relatively remote woodland, which was overgrown with weeds and branches and leaves. It looked like a forest. In a mess, Liu Qiankun dismounted, led the horse, and came to a more ornately decorated house. He opened the door and found it was spotless. He put down his baggage, drank a cup of mountain spring, moistened his throat, and walked into the forest. , pulled out the sharp sword from his waist. As soon as the blade came out, it was carried with a lingering wind, full of cold air. He ran wildly on the ground, and the blade stabbed out leisurely, spinning and slamming towards the ground. The dead branches and leaves swept out, and a gust of wind raged, blowing the branches and leaves and rolling them backwards. This move was the strong wind sweeping the fallen leaves, the body jumped up, rotated the body, the body was compact, and the sword kept moving in the hand. At this time, strong winds were blowing, sand and rocks were flying, and the entire forest was enveloped in layers of murderous aura. The murderous aura spread outwards, and every branch and leaf became a murderous weapon. At this time, he did not feel that the Blue Moon Whirlwind Sword was not used. At the best moment, two more levels of skill were suddenly added. The speed of rotation has reached the limit. Thousands of sharp swords have transformed into shapes, stabbing straight at the rotating dead branches and leaves. The branches and leaves have turned into Powder fell on the ground one after another.
When Liu Qiankun saw this scenic spot, he nodded and said: "I didn't expect that this would be thousands of swords flying together. The power cannot be underestimated." He stretched out his arm again, and the sword blade suddenly lifted up. The strong wind immediately spun, and thousands of swords flew up. The sharp sword also immediately started spinning, and the strong wind was raging, gathering all the dead branches and leaves in the forest together and starting to rotate to form two circular cylinders, colliding with each other, and all the thick branches wherever it went were uprooted. , followed the whirlwind and swayed in the whirlwind sword. He was shocked when he saw this. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the sword skills he usually used could be so outstanding. He was very proud of himself.
At this time, the sword was withdrawn, and the uprooted trees were inserted back into their original places. The dead branches and leaves lay flat on the ground as before, as if nothing had happened and they returned to peace.
Liu Qiankun returned to the hall of the house, opened the secret book and looked at every move and style in it. He studied every move and style in it carefully to see if there were any flaws in it. The time was tight and there were only two months left. I must do it. Train this Biyue Tornado to the point of perfection. You must get the "Dragon Secret" when you go to Huatuo Temple this time. Only then will the Liu family's status in the world not be shaken and you will be the leader of the martial arts forever. If you can't get this secret, you will definitely be in trouble in the future. Threatening our Liu family, thinking of this, I couldn't help but said harshly: "Even if I can't get it, I will raze Huatuo Temple to the ground and let this secret book and six eminent monks be buried with it. What I can't get, others can also understand."
After saying this, he slammed the table and the tea cup on the table shook. At this time, the sun had set and dusk had come. I also felt a little hungry in my stomach. I listened carefully and suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, the sound of horse hooves had disappeared. Liu Qiankun's thoughts were changing: "It's strange why the sound of horse hooves disappeared. Could it be that Yu Qun came to deliver food? How could she let my husband starve?" ?”
Thinking of this, he stood up and ran outside the house. Overjoyed, he saw Li Yuqun dismounting from his horse. Liu Qibao and Liu Qisi were also carried on the horse. Li Yuqun put the lunch box, took Liu Qibao and Liu Qisi down and placed them on the ground respectively. The two children were placed on the ground. , he ran directly to Liu Qiankun and called daddy,
Liu Qiankun smiled and said: "As soon as I heard the sound of horse hooves, I knew that the lady must have brought food. You came at the right time. I was feeling a sense of hunger." He glanced at the two children and said: "Why did you take them with you?"
Li Yuqun said: "I see it's already getting late. It's usually our dinner time. As for them? They couldn't see you for a while, so they started clamoring for your father. They couldn't be bothered, so they brought them over to see you. This is also There is no other way, so bring them here.”
Liu Qiankun lowered his head and said, "Didn't Xiao Bao Si'er make a promise? I told you to listen to your mother at home and not to mess around! Why do you start to mess around all of a sudden?"
Liu Qibao said reluctantly: "Dad, please don't blame us. We have no choice but to miss dad so much. We have never left dad. Why don't you tell us that we don't miss dad? We couldn't control it and asked mom to bring us over to see dad." .”
Liu Qisi said: "Yes, yes, we missed our father so much, that's why we asked our mother to bring us here! Otherwise, we wouldn't have asked our mother to bring us here, so please don't punish us." After saying this, his eyes turned red. Tears fell down.
When Liu Qiankun saw them like this, he was both angry and scolding. They looked so pitiful that he couldn't do anything.
Li Yuqun said: "Okay, okay, don't worry about it like two children, just find something to eat, and continue practicing tomorrow morning. Practicing is very draining of the body. Today I will personally cook a few for you." What are your favorite dishes and see if they suit your taste."
Liu Qiankun opened the lunch box and saw the dishes inside, smelled it with his nose, and said in disbelief: "Madam, this is a dish you cooked yourself. You are a rich lady! I have never cooked before, and you can make such a dish." Delicious food?"
Li Yuqun said with great interest: "Although I have never cooked personally, I always watch how people who specialize in cooking cook. I often watch and learn from them, so it is not a problem to make these dishes easily. There is nothing difficult in the world." A willing heart."
Liu Qiankun was holding dishes and eating rice, and said: "The dishes you cook are as good as those of the chef. I am really the happiest person in the world after eating this delicious meal."
Li Yuqun said: "Stop talking so much. How did you practice your swordsmanship today? Have you made any progress?"
Liu Qiankun said: "The swordsmanship I practiced today is more powerful than before. It can be said that it surpasses before. I feel more confident when I think of getting the "Dragon Art". After looking at the secret manual, there are still some shortcomings. As long as more time is spent, You can achieve perfection by revising it every day, and with the two months of hard study and practice, you will definitely achieve the desired results."
Li Yuqun packed up the dishes and chopsticks and left here with the two children. Liu Qiankun was here to study the shortcomings of the secret book, thinking about the flaws in the swordsmanship, how to perfect his kung fu, and tortured him repeatedly. Even after studying and practicing Kung Fu day after day, time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye. Compared with before, his Kung Fu has improved by leaps and bounds, and he can look down on the world.
