In the second episode, Li Feiyun responded to the request and went to Chang'an, while Chu Jianghan followed the order and went to Jiangnan.
"Why are you sad in ancient times? The beautiful woman has abandoned the rivers and lakes. The eyebrows are furrowed, the jade hairpin is tilted down, and the two swallows are sad. The clouds rise from the high platform, the wind blows thousands of miles, who is the master of the clouds and the sun. For the thin clothes and thin horses, two or three villages, the intestines of sheep, Sad as rain.
I don’t hate the ten years of traveling in captivity, but I hate the difficulty of crossing Chang’an and Guanshan. The sword is in the box, so why should Liang Gong ask for the emperor's order? Pick the stars and move them, smooth the sand and eliminate the bandits, and sail away in a flat boat. It is expected that if you ask for wine in the east fence and drink by the peach garden, no one will be jealous."
The originally silent village was broken by the lyrics of "Water Dragon Song", mixed with the sound of horses' hooves trampling on the muddy water, making it difficult to tell whether the singing was exciting or deep. It was early autumn, and the vegetation in the northern country had already begun to wither, and a late afternoon rain had just passed, giving rise to the slightest chill.
But when he saw someone on the horse, he just finished singing, took out something from his waist, pressed the hole and started blowing, which was the tune he had just sung. The man had a square face and a face like a crown jade. He was about thirty years old. At first glance, he felt that he was extraordinary. Only the coat on his body was stained. It was soaked by the rain and had been stained on the horse's back. In such a situation, if The daughter's family who was about to get married saw this and were willing to help him clean up his career.
Listed as the official, this person is Li Hong and Li Feiyun who wrote the inscription on Dengfeng Tower.
As time goes by, it is already ten years later. Li Feiyun doesn't know when he fell in love with playing the flute. A jade flute never leaves his hand, so it has long been called the jade flute sword in the world. In the past ten years, he traveled around the world and inquired about the descendants of the Yang family. It can be said that he suffered a lot. Let's not talk about it. Let's get back to the business.
Before the Jade Flute Sword song ended, he suddenly shouted: "Come out!". Seven or eight burly men sprang out from both sides of the fight, each dressed in black and holding a steel knife, blocking the front. The horse seemed to have experienced this kind of battle for a long time, but it did not panic and stopped immediately.
The man in front of him bowed down and bowed down, and said: "Chen Qi, under the command of the two chiefs of the Golden Sword and the Wooden Sword, I am here to greet Mr. Feiyun!" After saying that, he took out something from his arms and handed it to him. When he came up, he picked up the jade flute sword without even looking at it. He opened his mouth and said, "But what happened?"
The big man replied: "The two chief catchers asked me to tell you that a 'Zhenyue Sword' appeared on the green forest road in Shaanxi Province recently. Various sects are vying to snatch it, resulting in numerous casualties. Sir, please check it on your behalf!"
After hearing this, Yuxiao Jian was silent for a long time. He cupped his hands and said, "Please reply to the two chief arresters. I will go to Chang'an City right away!" After saying that, he rode on his horse and disappeared. .
As the sun sets, on the official road, the pedestrians gradually disappear. Near the north of the road, an inn comes into view. It is two stories high. In front of the building, there is a flag facing south. The four characters "Yunlai Inn" are written neatly. .
This place is close to Chang'an, and pedestrians are constantly coming and going on weekdays. Even at dusk, this small shop is bustling, and the sound of the waiter passing the dishes and giving up seats can be heard from a distance.
When Jade Flute Sword Li Hong and Li Feiyun arrived here, they were already hungry and thirsty, not to mention that the BMW on their hips had been driving for days and needed water and food. While instructing the waiter to serve the animals, he went into the shop and ordered a pot of wine and some side dishes to eat.
After drinking and eating, he was about to go back to his room to rest. Suddenly, a group of people walked in. The leader was a monk with neat robes and a bald beard. He was holding a demon-conquering palm weighing no less than fifty or sixty kilograms.
Li Hong secretly paid attention, but when he saw the monk Baoxiang's solemn and steady steps, he recognized him as an eminent monk of the Zhenzi generation in Shaolin Temple. The next two people were about in their early forties, dressed in the same way, wearing green clothes and blue shoes, holding Buddha dust and long swords on their backs. They were probably masters of the Wudang sect. Afterwards, everyone was carrying a weapon, either male or female, old or young. There were more than twenty monks, laymen and nuns. There were only three or five people at the table, and they didn't talk much. Everyone ordered meat and vegetables, wine and rice, and started eating.
Li Hongfu asked the waiter for a pot of wine and some side dishes, and sat down beside him. He couldn't help but think: this group of people are all descendants of various famous sects, and they must be here for the sword.
For the past few days, I have been wondering: as early as ten years ago, this sword was obviously dedicated to the current emperor, so how could it appear here? At that moment, he secretly sighed: "No matter what, for the sake of a mere sword, there will definitely be another killing spree!"
But taking a closer look at these people, there are the long-famous Yin and Yang sons of the Kunlun sect, the iron-handed Taoist of the Kongtong sect, and two sword-wielders in plain clothes. One of them is a woman with a plump body and a face like a peach, most likely a newly famous Taoist from Mount Emei. Thousand-hand swords, hundred-arm hooks, and the rest cannot be recognized.
Yuxiao Jian was meditating when he suddenly heard someone in the seat yelling at a thief. When he looked back, it was the Thousand-Handed Sword Ouyang Yue. Then the dishes flew everywhere, soup splashed everywhere, and there was a buzzing sound. The Thousand-Handed Sword had already been The sword was unsheathed and stabbed a young man in rough clothes at the table.
Li Feiyun was secretly surprised: "What a quick technique!"
He was not allowed to think too much, but he saw that the young man was not in a hurry, and actually stretched out the two fingers of his right hand and clamped the incoming sword with three inches of flesh and blood.
Yuxiao Jian thought to himself: "I can't do it despite decades of hard study, regardless of the cold and heat, and forgetting to sleep and eat. It's impossible to think that this young man is only in his early twenties and started practicing in his mother's womb. There is really no one else." , there are mountains beyond the mountains!”
Look at the young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and red phoenix eyes, a square mouth, a strong back and a strong waist. Although he is dressed in coarse clothes, he is very heroic. He does not seem to be a frivolous person, but Ouyang Yue stabs him with a sword, which makes people suspicious.
I saw the corner of the young man's mouth raised, and then he said: "Thousand-Handed Sword, such a great reputation, in my opinion, it is nothing more than that! I advise you to go back to the mountain and practice hard for ten or eight years, and it will not be too late to leave the mountain again, so as not to be humiliated." It has ruined the reputation of your Emei sect."
Everyone in the audience was shocked, and some with a bad temper began to curse.
Yu Xiaojian saw the secret and felt relieved: It turns out that this young man is here to fight and show off his power!
Ouyang Yue didn't get any advantage when he made a move. He immediately became angry in his Dantian and secretly used his inner energy. He originally wanted to use the move "Wandering Dragon Crossing the River". This move focused on raising Qi in the Dantian, applying force to his arms, turning his wrists, and using his hands to interact with each other. For example, it specializes in external skills such as two-finger meditation, or locks the sword in the hand with a two-handed weapon such as a hammer hook. The teacher was quite proud when he taught this move. I have been practicing it since I was a child. I don't want to use force now, and it will be like a stone sinking into the sea. , I really don’t know how much cultivation the other party has at such a young age, and what kind of magical powers he has.
Ouyang Yue failed to make a move. He abandoned the sword with his right hand and took out a swallow dart from his waist with his left hand. He turned around and shouted: "Watch the fight!"
Seeing that the hidden weapon was coming and was about to hit him in an instant, the young man was unable to move, and everyone was horrified.
Suddenly, there was a "ding" sound, and it was the hundred-arm hook Shen Qiuyue next to her who used her long hook to deflect the darts. Before the beauty could say anything, the young man said, "That's alright!"
This commotion shocked all the heroes in the room, but a bearded Taoist opened his mouth and said: "What an arrogant young man! With your Taoism, can you catch the Swallow Escort of the Emei Sect? Let me ask you, are you Kong?" Who is a disciple of the Kongtong sect?" When everyone looked, it turned out to be an Iron Hand Taoist from the Kongtong sect.
The young man stood still and didn't answer.
The Iron Hand Taoist then raised his head and said: "I am none other than an Iron Hand Taoist from the Kongtong Sect! Let me ask you, which senior brother of my Kongtong Sect are you a disciple of?"
The audience was in an uproar again. There were both curses and praises. The scolders said that the disciples of Kongtong Mountain were brave and had no rules to speak of, but the praisers said that these disciples of Kongtong Mountain were really great.
The young man's face changed greatly when he heard these words. He hurriedly knelt down and bowed down, calling him master and saying: "Disciple Chu Hanjiang, I didn't know that Master Xianjia was here, and I made a mistake. I pray for forgiveness! This disciple is a disciple of Zhenren Ziyang. , I was walking home after classes recently, and passed by here, just now, just now..."
Hearing that it was the fledgling Kongtong disciple, Ouyang Yue's face turned red and he lowered his head. He and his junior sister had recently become famous, and they were very proud of their success. They didn't want to fall into the hands of an unknown boy from the Kongtong sect today. If word spread in the world in the future, their reputation would be tarnished.
The Taoist Taoist Master scolded: "You just came down from the mountain and you are so competitive here. Is this what Senior Brother Ziyang taught you? Why don't you apologize to the two Senior Brothers in Mount Emei!"
After hearing the reprimand from his master, Chu Hanjiang lowered his head and bowed as a salute. Ouyang Yue's ears were also red, he was hesitating and didn't know the answer, and was extremely embarrassed. On the other hand, the hundred-armed hook beside him returned the favor, with a bit of shyness on his face.
Seeing the jade flute sword in his eyes, he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: "This Shen Qiuyue is really awesome!" If it hadn't been for the blow just now, if the young man had been taught to catch the dart with his bare hands, this Emei sect would have been disgraced today. . At this moment, this woman is elegant and generous, without losing the air of a famous family. She is really a woman!
The farce was over and the small building returned to normal. Chu Hanjiang was bored and hurriedly said goodbye to everyone and left the inn.
But it was said that this young man, Chu Hanjiang, was originally from Jiangnan and came to Chang'an with his parents doing business since he was a child.
The author needs to explain: Chu Jianghan's father was a close friend of Yang Wentai, who was convicted when he impeached Yan Song. Yang Wentai gave birth to a daughter, and he had already been engaged to Chu Jianghan.
Back then, Yang Wentai was convicted and troubled, and when the news came, Chu Jianghan's father had already passed away. The orphans and widows were left with difficulty in running the business, and the business was dying day by day.
When Chu Jianghan was nine years old, one day a wandering Taoist priest came to his home. When he saw the child, he said that he had excellent bones and would be able to achieve great things in the future, so he wanted to take him to Kongtong Mountain to teach him martial arts. Mother Chu knew that The Taoist was not an ordinary person, so he ruthlessly asked him to leave home to study his art, which lasted for twelve winters and summers. But the child was also at ease. He occasionally went home and saw his mother, then hurriedly packed up his seasonal clothes and returned to the mountain.
Just saying that he had morning classes that day, Master Ziyang Zhenren called him here, saying that the fate between master and disciple was over, and ordered him to go down the mountain immediately, and told him to take care of himself. Chu Hanjiang knelt in front of his master's door for three days in a row, pleading, but his master ignored him. Knowing that Master had made up his mind, Chu Hanjiang went down the mountain without even taking any clothes with him.
Chu Jianghan traveled non-stop all the way, and came home within a few days. Seeing that nothing happened at home and that his mother was healthy, he was very happy. However, he only reported back that he had finished his craft and came back to serve his mother. Naturally, Chu's mother was happy. Now I am very busy killing chickens and cooking wine.
A few days later, just after dinner, Chu's mother called her son over and said, "My son is twenty-one years old. When your father was your age, the child was already one year old. In these years, you have gone up the mountain. My mother didn’t help you with your studies. Now that you have completed your studies and returned, it’s time to start a family. But there is one thing that makes life difficult for your mother!”
Chu Jianghan wanted to ask, but his parents had always made the final decision on marriage matters. Although he had been studying martial arts for more than ten years in the mountains, his teacher never paid much attention to it. He had never read a few volumes in the Taoist collection, only the saint's books that his mother asked him to read. On the contrary, Chang Daye read it, and there is no need to ask too many questions about this person's ethics and filial piety.
Seeing that the child did not dare to ask any questions, Chu's mother walked into the back room and took out a box about two feet wide. There was something in it. She slowly unfolded it, and it turned out to be a painting. In the painting, a woman was playing the piano. Although Jiang Han didn't know much about painting, he still felt that the woman in this painting was indescribably cute.
Chu's mother said: "Although your father was a commoner during his lifetime, he was always philanthropic. I remember one year when your father was doing business in the capital, he met a scholar surnamed Yang who was robbed and taken advantage of by gangsters. He was penniless and sick, so your father helped him. In the next few years, your father and I met him again in Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, he was already in Huangbang High School and became a censor. Only then did we find out that his surname was Yang and his first name was Wentai, and that he was from the same hometown as your father. Your father They are usually easy to write poems and essays, but they have become good friends after going back and forth. Since the Yang family has no children and only has one daughter named Xiaoruo, your father will arrange a baby wedding for you."
Chu Jianghan's face turned red and he asked, "Mom, why don't I know about this?"
"How old were you at that time? Later, after your father passed away, your mother and you lived in Xi'an, and there was naturally less contact. Later, the Yang family offended someone in the court. Yang Wentai was beheaded in the street, and all the men of the Yang family were killed. In exile, all the female relatives became official prostitutes!"
Jiang Han was shocked when he heard this. He was speechless for a long time, and then he couldn't help asking: "What about her?...Mom, who is the person in this painting?"
Mother Chu sighed and said slowly: "Not long after you went to the mountain to study art, someone from the Yang family sent a letter and this painting. The woman in the painting should be Xiaoruo! My mother couldn't take care of it at the time, so she The letter was burned on the spot. Unexpectedly, within two months, there were widespread rumors in the city that the Yang family had suffered a disaster, and there has been no news since then." After saying this, he sighed.
Jiang Han said: "Mom, then they must have suffered a disaster."
Chu's mother said excitedly: "Son, if the person in this painting was still alive, would you marry him or not?"
Chu Jianghan didn't hesitate to think about it and immediately replied: "Even if father has a promise, how can he lose his justice?"
"No!" Chu's mother slapped the table and stood up.
"Although your father was a commoner during his lifetime, he also knew poetry, books, and famous festivals. If this Xiao Ruo were still alive, he would have been labeled a prostitute and a prostitute. How did you marry into the family? Aren't you trying to deceive your father? Shame, bring shame on my ancestors of the Chu family?"
Chu Jianghan wanted to say more, but when his mother was angry, how could he dare to open his mouth? Followed by silence.
But I heard Chu's mother reply: "Son, my mother wants you to go to the south of the Yangtze River. Although Yang Wentai's family is gone, he still has a sworn brother in the south of the Yangtze River. He was originally serving as the envoy of the Proclamation Department in Huguang, and his surname was Ye. The name came out. Later, due to the affairs of the Yang family, he gave up his official position. My mother has asked people in your master's family to inquire about it. She is now living in Sanxian Village, Siming Mountain. You only need to send this painting to express the cancellation of the engagement. Don’t lose our Chu family’s loyalty!”
Chu Jianghan's maid was extremely filial and never disobeyed, so she had no choice but to obey her. The mother and son discussed it, but Chu Jianghan stayed up all night. The next day Chu Jianghan bid farewell to his mother and set off from Xi'an to Siming.
This trip leads to a strange story in the world of martial arts and martial arts. Let me tell you about it slowly.
