Forty years ago, a knight-errant who was willing to compete with others suddenly appeared in the arena. He seemed to come out of thin air. He was not there the first night and suddenly spread throughout the Zhou Dynasty the next day.
Every time before a martial arts competition, the ranger would only tell people half of his family name. He only told people that his surname was Ye, which means Ye Ye.
Those martial arts people who accepted the challenge from the ranger only thought that this was his surname, but the ranger said, "Before you met me, you practiced martial arts and pursued Taoism to make thousands of miles wind in one day. After meeting me, you will not be able to sleep in the long night." out."
At that time, many worldly giants and martial arts celebrities sneered at his big words, but they were defeated by his dead branch that seemed to be picked up from local materials.
This ranger has a habit of sending a piece of soap jade to him every time before visiting his door. He is very particular about setting a date and time with the person, so that he will arrive on time on that day. No matter whether you have swords, guns, swords or halberds, fists, feet or clubs, the ranger will go into battle lightly with a branch that can be seen everywhere.
If you lose, you leave without saying a word. After a short time, you come back and start over again until you win. If you win, you won't take anyone's life or wealth. You just get back the soap jade card, and then discuss copying a martial arts secret book passed down by the opponent's family.
The other party agreed and left after copying. During the period, the food and drink expenses were paid according to the price, and he would never take any advantage. If the other party doesn't agree, just fight with the person again until the other party agrees.
Over time, the whole world was beaten by him. No matter the upright family or the crooked family, they all received this card, and they were all taken back by this knight-errant.
Several times when I met those unscrupulous young people, either after losing or after hearing his unreasonable demands, they would attack them in groups. Just going head-on, Hui Hui almost died.
But he still survived. In his own words, the Lord of Hell thought he was difficult and refused to accept him.
Such a being who is unique in the world and can stir up troubles with one hand should logically stand on his own and command the heroes at this time when he is rising to fame. However, one day, this ranger said that his martial arts was not very good and could not be compared to that of thousands of years ago. Those ancestors who have ascended to immortality long ago in the martial arts of Youyou list in one breath Confucius, who has become a saint with gentle Confucianism for thousands of years, Li Laojun, who uses Qi to move domineering, the Immortals who use the Five Elements Yao to become immortals, and so on. The great master Mo who withstood the nine-turn thunder of heaven with his own strength, the great master Han who jumped out of the three realms with the help of human beings and heaven and earth, the supreme scholar who made the bodhi seed out of a stinky skin bag, Huai Buyi who dominated the world with his king, and the Yi Zen who transformed imperfections into perfection. , Zhang Taihua, who forged his body with an alchemy furnace and rode a crane to transform into a rainbow, Gongsun Qinglian, who opened the gate of heaven with sword energy, a total of ten people, and then proclaimed himself No. 11 in the world, making the top ten of the century-old Jianghu One Hundred and Eight Most Popular Rankings empty. Hanging for more than ten years.
It's nothing to forcefully change a man of one hundred and eight to one hundred and eighteen. This weirdo then gave up the entire world at his fingertips and said: "A man should be born for the world, and a man with a seven-foot body should be for the common people." "Death" turned around and entered the temple that was extremely shameful to the martial arts people. Starting from a low-level official who bought an official position, he spent more than ten years of hard work step by step to become a feudal official and was granted the title of the only king with a different surname in the dynasty by the previous emperor. .
During this period, the soap jade tablet appeared more often in temples or on battlefields, and was known as a luminous monument by foreign invaders and internal enemies.
It's just that this card is no longer as sophisticated as it used to be when it appears again. Either the political enemy will commit a major crime for no reason and be demoted from the officialdom within a short time, or the enemy will end up disastrous with his head missing within a few days.
A luminous monument really became a reminder of death.
Later, the rumors became more and more evil, saying that this luminous monument was the knight who was now a king with a different surname, who commanded all the heroes of the world to command thousands of troops and horses like an emperor's tiger talisman. The monument has done what the prince with a different surname asked, and even the prince of hell would not dare to ask for his life.
Those who don't know what's going on naturally believe in this rumor, and those who know the inside will naturally understand that this luminous tablet is not equivalent to being held by a saint after the ranger enters the court.
When the late emperor came to court, how could he have thought that such a gadget could have such great power? Just take it as a casual comment.
Until that time when the Beiyi Qingqi invaded and reached hundreds of miles outside the capital, and the old emperor personally attacked the Xirong rebels, and there was a fire in the backyard, he panicked and was at a loss. It was still the ranger who had just entered the court and traveled around the capital and customs with a luminous tablet. The five roads of Hedong, Shandong, Shandong and Shannanxi invited 18 masters to fight against the enemy. They became famous for a while and made this luminous monument even more famous.
From then on, this luminous stele became the most useful thing in the Forbidden City than the tiger talisman. The tiger talisman could only mobilize troops, but the luminous stele was the tiger talisman in the rivers and lakes, and the killing stick in the court. The "British Heroes, Thousands of Troops and Thousands of Horses Luminous Monument" also spread accordingly.
And this knight-errant who became famous and powerful in the Zhou Dynasty, the only king in the Zhou Dynasty who had a different surname, was the grandfather of Ye Sange and Ye Xiayou. As night fell.
Nowadays, there is peace and prosperity, there are thousands of officials and ministers to govern the country, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers to lead the country. Although the atmosphere is peaceful on the surface, it is rare to hear that this luminous monument has appeared again.
Ye San never imagined that this familiar yet unfamiliar soap jade plaque would be used on himself.
Hai Dongqing held up the soap jade card that exuded a light warmth and played with it carefully, and said, "Third Young Master, do you know what this thing is made of? They say that jade can cool people, but how can this thing be used in this weather?" Is it still so hot?"
In the middle of the night, I had no intention of introducing the material of this thing, but when the other party asked, I had to say: "Thousands of years ago, when the Qin Empire was not unified, it marched eastward to the Zhao Kingdom. Lin Muxian, the famous Prime Minister of the Zhao Kingdom, pretended to surrender to the Zhi Chuan Kingdom. The jade Baopuyan entered the Qin Palace to assassinate the Qin Emperor. After the incident was exposed, he took the Baopuyan and threw it away, but it missed the target. The Baopuyan was as hard as a rock, and a piece of it would fall off. Later, the fragmented corner of the jade stone was among the people. After going around for more than a thousand years, this is the place in front of me, senior."
Hai Dongqing was surprised. He really didn't expect that this ugly thing was actually the legendary Baopu Rock that could withstand all kinds of force. He asked, "Is this Baopu Rock really as hard as the rumors say?"
It was late at night but she didn't want to answer him anymore.
Hai Dongqing smacked his lips and said to himself: "I heard that Emperor Qin used the indestructible Lu Lu sword to cut this thing several times without leaving any trace. On the contrary, the Lu Lu sword had a few more holes. I wonder if that's true. .”
Ye Xiayou choked and said, "Senior Zhenhai, just let your condor, which can peck through rough skin, thick flesh, and blind men, try it."
In the middle of the night, he returned his hand and held his sister's shoulders, signaling her to speak less.
Hai Dongqing didn't seem to pay attention to Ye Xiayou's words, he just played with it blindly. After a long time, he said again: "The third young master also knows this thing. You also sent it out back then. As long as it is received, it will not achieve the purpose." Give up."
"Did the person above send it this time, or did Old Man Ye ask for it?" Ye San asked without taking Hai Dongqing's words.
"How can we, such reckless warriors, know the truth about this? I just heard that as long as this thing is done, the higher-ups can agree to a modest request." Hai Dongqing carefully put away the luminous monument. After all, this thing is also related to his wealth and life. , "I am not too young now, but I have been living in this celestial realm for more than ten years. I have reached the threshold of the hall but have been unable to enter. I heard that Wanjia's martial arts books are required in the Ye family library, so I thought Go and try your luck and see if you can taste what it's like to be in court in your lifetime. Third Young Master, do you think my request is too much?"
"It's not too much." Ye Sangen shook his head.
Hai Dongqing stood up with his knees up, raised his hands again, and said, "I don't think it's too much. Don't you wonder what the luminous monument entrusted to me?"
In the middle of the night, he still shook his head, "I'm not curious."
"But I can't hide my words in my heart. The luminous monument above just said that the second young lady and the third young master should go back. It's quite simple. What do you think of the third young master?"
"Simple indeed."
"So when I heard about such a simple thing, I rushed from outside the customs and killed four good horses in three days to rush to Xibo to pick up the luminous monument. But I felt a little regretful after picking up this little sign outside the red wall. , Third Young Master, do you know why?"
"I don't know."
"All the prominent people in the world feel that this is a simple errand. They have gathered in Xibo in the past few days, but after all, this matter involves the Ye family, but they all want to wait and see what happens. They don't want to be the first to show off, but I was stupid and did this first thing. Third Young Master, do you think I am stupid?"
"You're not stupid." Ye San Geng answered a little more this time, "Senior Hai is an upright person, unlike those people who are just trying to get by and take advantage of others but still want to keep something.
"Third Young Master understands me." Hai Dongqing laughed loudly, "So I thought of coming to rely on my old age to see if the Second Young Master and Third Young Master could give me face, and come back to Xibo with me, and everyone would be happy. What do you think, Third Young Master?"
"That makes sense."
"Third Young Master, why don't you discuss this with Second Young Lady? Wait until the snow stops and the weather becomes warmer, then we can go back. Why are you suffering like this in this damn place?"
Ye Sangen nodded, seeming to agree with what he said, but said nothing more.
Hai Dongqing didn't speak anymore, just looked at Ye San Geng. He felt that Ye San Geng, who got up and helped his sister to the bedside, should have something to say.
In the middle of the night, he turned around and faced Hai Dongqing, "You just said you won't give up until you achieve your goal. I also know how difficult it is to deal with this Luminous Monument. Senior Hai, let me ask, if I don't agree, you What will you do?"
Hai Dongqing burst into laughter, looking quite helpless, "What do you mean, Third Young Master, if you don't agree, there's nothing I can do about it. But I know that I can't please Third Young Master and Second Young Lady. There is no place for my old face. Third Young Master, what else do you think a person of my age can do? Isn’t it just this face? If you say that I can’t do this after taking over the Luminous Monument, how can I still have face in the future? Are you hanging around in this world? Third Young Master, are you right?"
"yes."
"But if the Third Young Master really doesn't agree, don't blame me for being careless." Hai Dongqing's hands, which had been hidden in his cotton sleeves from beginning to end, were finally willing to hang down. His right hand held the standard scimitar that was quite popular outside the customs. His momentum soared, but he still looked like a sloppy old man.
The mist hovering outside the house also swooped into the house and landed on the owner's shoulder. His bright eyes stared at the night, very refreshing.
In the middle of the night, he looked at the condor that had been given a funny name by his owner, and then at Hai Dongqing, who had a serious face. He glanced down at Hai Dongqing's knife, the hand holding the knife, and another one. The fingertips of his left hand moved slightly, and he chuckled.
"Want to go home?" Ye Sangen asked her sister.
"Yes I do."
My sister answered simply, with an unnatural smile on her lips. She seemed to be thinking of the home she had stayed in for more than 20 years, the mountain she had climbed for more than 20 years, every plant and tree on the mountain, and the land on the mountainside. In the bamboo forest, there is a white-haired man who loves to drink, a widow is buried in a grave, a group of aunts who love to flatter themselves, a group of uncles who love to fight with their younger brothers, there are old willows sprouting new buds, and there is the sound of rain falling through the forest. There are yellow leaves returning to their roots, and white heads falling from the snow.
There is also the hunchbacked leader who is least wanted to mention, leading a wolf mastiff from the extremely cold land in the north.
Slowly, the smile widened, and then it filled the whole face, "I miss my mother."
Midnight also smiled, raised his hand to caress his sister's head, and said, "Then I'll take you home."
My sister smiled happily as if her mother had praised her for the music she had just learned when she was a child.
"Yeah." My sister said, "Let's go home and see my mother."
"Okay." He turned around in the middle of the night and said, "Wait for me here."
"Senior Hai, I'm afraid I can't fulfill your modest request."
"The juniors are not talented, and the seniors are not particular about teaching."
The drizzle outside the house is getting worse, and the fire in the house is extinguished.
"Nine stops and nine lines, send off to Senior Hai and the luminous monument."
