Thank you all friends for your attention. I wish martial arts novels a bright future and may traditional martial arts be more mellow as time goes by.
Chapter 3 The first encounter between plum and bamboo
Hongyan bid farewell to her home, thinking about it while traveling. Due to her own affairs, the two families of Tianmenmen Jinhuotang were implicated for no reason. Xiao Daxia went to Xianyun Pavilion alone to find out how dangerous it was. Master Tie Sect, Chief Murong and two disciples each suffered casualties. Previously, **Shuo had told the Iron Sect Master to take him to the Natural Sect for shelter, but now the Natural Sect has been involved in the martial arts turmoil. On that night a few days ago, the two black and white assassins, besides looking for the birthday gift treasures, their main intention was to take their own lives and eliminate the root of the problem without leaving any further trouble. Now if we go to the Natural Sect again, we are afraid that the Natural Sect will be greatly affected. I want to make up my mind about this beauty, and I can't go to the natural gate no matter what, so as not to get into more trouble.
But the world is so big and the rivers and lakes are so dangerous, where should I go? Hongyan was at a loss. Exactly:
The whole world is lonely, and I am wandering without a leader.
Hongyan kept thinking all the way. Unknowingly, I came to a bamboo forest. The endless mist in the forest has been dispersed by the warm sunshine, and the birds on the trees are constantly singing. The sight of a fresh and beautiful scene is full of peace and joy.
Hongyan Fang walked into the forest, and suddenly saw a man in front of him holding a sword and wearing an old straw hat, walking towards her. Hongyan hurriedly grasped the sword in her hand, but she saw the man's beautiful eyes staring at her under the cover of a straw hat, and there was a trace of joy in his eyes. Hongyan didn't know what this man wanted to do, so she held the sword in her hand and walked forward slowly.
But I saw this person quickly approaching Hongyan, and he saluted respectfully: "Miss, please slow down, I'm polite!" As he said this, the person took off the old straw hat on his head and held it in his hand. Suddenly I saw that this man was young, with handsome eyes and eyebrows, a face like a crown of jade, lips as if they were greased, clothes and belts neat and dust-free, and a clear and outstanding expression. It is true that this handsome young man is more like the Zhou Lang who has taken off his armor, but there is a little bit of flawless childishness between his eyebrows and his eyes.
The man saluted again and asked Hongyan, "May I ask, girl, how far is it from here to the Dream Garden? I don't know which path to take to get there?" Hongyan looked at this man's handsome appearance and wondered how he got such a body. It is impossible to see everything at a glance, and it is difficult to fully appreciate its beauty and appearance. I heard this person asking about Haomengyuan. I wonder what his intentions are? Although he saw that his face was respectful and showed no ill intentions, he still raised his guard and asked, "Who are you and why do you ask?"
The man did not answer, but held the straw hat in his hand and kept looking at Hongyan, and shouted happily: "I remember, the girl is Wu Hongyan from Haomengyuan." Hongyan saw that she knew her, and saw that her words and behavior were nondescript, and I don't recognize him yet. He was even more puzzled and asked: "Who are you?" The man said calmly: "You don't recognize me, but I remember you. Last time, Miss Wu came to my Natural Gate to tell the story of Wu Daxia's birthday. I was here Hiding behind the screen, I've seen you before! I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for decades, the girl has turned into a great beauty!" After saying that, the young man smiled, with a slight blush on his jade face, like a shy daughter. Same.
Hongyan listened to his words and knew that he was from the Natural Sect, but she didn't understand why she hadn't seen him for decades. So Hongyan asked again: "Why do you have to be so secretive when you speak? Who are you?" The man said: "Does the girl really not remember? I am Xiao Yuerong. I was taken care of by Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu when I was young. For several consecutive years When I was six years old, my father took Yuerong to him. I don’t remember the past, but I remember some things when I was six years old. I remember that I was naughty at that time, running around all day long, Wu Daxia got into a lot of trouble in his guest house. One time, I stabbed my left foot, which made a deep gash, and Aunt Wu bandaged it for me. If you don’t believe it, look, there is still a scar on my left foot!" Yuerong said as she threw down her straw hat, let go of her sword, took off her white cloud boots, and took off her spiked socks. There was a long fish-like scratch on the middle of its foot.
"It turns out it's him!" Hongyan couldn't help but sigh to herself after looking at it. Seeing Yuerong's condition, Hongyan smiled unconsciously and said: "You are Yuerong. It turns out that you are Xiao Daxia's son - Xiao Yuerong!"
It turns out that not long after Xiao Yuerong, the son of Xiao Yuerong, was born, Li Shuo and his wife were separated by an unprovoked storm. At that time, Xiao Yuerong was handed over to Wu Chongyu and his wife to take care of her, and she was raised together with Hongyan.
After listening to Hongyan's words, Yuerong hurriedly put on her boots and socks and said, "You finally remembered it. I remember Hongyan that you have a red mole behind your ear. It was the two of us rubbing our ears and temples together during the day, and playing in the puddles and grass. I slept next to Uncle Wu at night, and you slept next to Aunt Wu. You couldn't see me for a while, but you were still crying!" After Hongyan listened to Yuerong's words, her childhood memories came back to her mind. inside. A little warmth suddenly felt in my heart. There is even a hint of shy warmth. Hongyan then asked: "Now that you are not in the Natural Gate, what are you doing in the Dream Garden?"
Yuerong said: "I heard that Uncle Wu's birthday was approaching a few days ago, so I wanted to come out to visit him. I would like to take this opportunity to travel outside and see the world, so that my father would not keep me locked up at home and suffocated to death. . But my father and General Manager Gongsun didn’t allow me to go out, for fear that I would be hurt, so I secretly avoided others and followed out. However, I couldn’t find the way to this place along the way. I asked around to get to this bamboo forest. My foot strength is not as good as others. , I’m afraid I’ll find Good Dream Garden. Uncle Wu’s birthday has already passed.” After Yuerong finished speaking, she hurriedly sat down next to an ancient tree and said, “I’ve been running around so much these days, and my legs are so tired from walking. It hurts." Yuerong rubbed her legs and asked Hongyan, "I wonder how Uncle Wu is doing. Will he still recognize me when we meet?"
When the beauty heard Yuerong's words, she felt sad and speechless.
Yuerong was speechless when she saw the beauty, and then asked: "Uncle, he won't recognize me like you, right?"
"Go to Hell and ask your Uncle Wu if he knows you!" Hongyan did not answer, but heard someone above the bamboo forest respond to his question.
Yuerong and Hongyan were startled and raised their eyes to look at the forest ahead. I saw a dozen big men jumping down from the sky above the bamboo forest with sharp blades in their hands. The leader was holding a pair of crescent swords, and he was defeated miserably. She smiled lewdly at Yuerong Hongyan and said, "Hurry up and hand over your belongings, lest you die." Yuerong stood up quickly and came forward and said, "I only brought daily dry food and no belongings. Do you think so in broad daylight?" Can’t the robbery be successful?”
The man smiled and said: "Why don't you just bring some dry food to honor your Uncle Wu? You are late, so you should burn some paper money for your Uncle Wu!" Yuerong listened to what he said, as if Wu Daxia had died, and everything before He doesn't know the love. He just said angrily: "Why are you talking nonsense?" Seeing this, Hongyan stepped forward and shouted: "Who is taking advantage of others' danger here?" The man smiled and said: "I'm going to say goodbye to Shangguan, Lord of Pingyin City, and quickly hand over your belongings. , to prevent weapons from meeting each other. Hongyan said: "I am alone and have nothing else to offer. No need to say more, let the sword in your hand speak for itself. "
Shangguan Bie laughed loudly and said, "But the birthday gifts at home have been taken away, including the jade lion and dragon cup and the luminous pearl. I can gain a lot!" After that, he showed the treasures in his baggage, and it was* The jade lion and dragon cup presented by *Shuo and the luminous pearl presented by Jinhuotang. It turned out that Murong Di and others did not walk away after being injured that night. After Tie Zhongjie and the Five Elements Masters woke up from coma, several people did not care about their injuries. They immediately cleaned the mourning hall and tidied the courtyard, restoring the Good Dream Garden to the original state, and the mourning hall was also tidied up as before. Only the five luminous pearls stolen by the assassin in white were lost in the valley when the beauty was injured, and are difficult to find. However, the pearl that struck the five elements still exists and is placed again on Wu Zhongyu's case.
After everything was completed, Tie Zhongjie, Murong Di and the Five Elements went together to find the injured Wu Hongyan. They were still looking for Wu Hongyan in the weeds until dawn. However, they were all injured and the pain recurred. The beauty was missing in the deserted mountains. , a few people left the dream garden in sorrow and went home to die. He didn't want to see Pingyin City Lord Shangguan farewell in the future but use the excuse of celebrating his birthday to go to the Sweet Dream Garden to spy on him. Seeing that there was no one in the garden, he entered the garden and ransacked it. He robbed all the remaining genuine items on Wu Zhongyuling's case and hid them in the bamboo forest for evil purposes.
At this time, Hongyan saw her gift falling into the hands of the thief, and shouted: "Stealing people's property and taking advantage of people's danger, how can a gentleman do it!" Shangguan didn't listen and dismissed it, and only said to Hongyan: "I don't know whether Miss Wu knows this. A gift?" Hongyan shouted: "You despicable villain who is adding insult to injury, take my sword!" As he spoke, the sword in his hand was stabbed at Shangguan Farewell. Shangguan don't use your swords to capture the beauty. For several days in a row, the beauty was addicted to water and rice, and when the swords met, I suddenly felt powerless, and it was difficult to become Shangguan's rival. With only a few or five moves, the sword in Hongyan's hand was knocked away by Shangguan Bie and stuck in an ancient tree. Hongyan was defeated miserably. Shangguan Bie was about to step forward to capture Hongyan, but Yuerong ran two steps and faced Shangguan Bie. She struggled to pull out the sword in her hand and said to Shangguan Bie: "How can you be a hero if you bully a woman? You have the ability. Let’s give it a try!”
Shangguan said goodbye: "If you want a hero to save the beauty, today I will help my little brother, so that I can learn Fengyun Sword Technique and see how successful you are like your father." Yuerong did not listen to his words and swung his sword to slash. Shangguanbie, the sword did not touch Shangguanbie's body, but he was kicked by Shangguanbie and fell to the ground. Yue Rong got up and stepped forward to fight again. Before he could reach Shangguan Bue, he was kicked away again. Yue Rong was hurt and rushed forward again. Shangguan Bue took out a knife first, which pierced Yue Rong's shoulder and pushed him aside. Yuerong covered the injured area with her hand and screamed while retreating. Shangguan Bie grinned and said: "This is the Fengyun Sword Technique of Shuo Shuo, this is the Ruyi descendant of the Natural Sect, it is really extraordinary!" After saying this, he laughed loudly with the disciples behind him.
Hongyan hurriedly stepped forward to support Yuerong and said, "Why don't you know martial arts?" Yuerong said, "I forgot the few self-defense sword skills that General Manager Gongsun taught me when I came here." Hongyan said helplessly. Shake his head.
Shangguan stood aside and said: "This place cannot tolerate the two of you talking about love." Then he ordered a dozen of his men to come forward and capture the two of them. Hongyan knew that there was no way to escape at this time, and the only way out was to fight to the death. So he pulled out the sword from the tree. With his eyes wide open, he angrily scolded the thieves with his lotus leaf sword. Wherever the sword light went, the thieves fell down and died one after another. In a moment, more than a dozen Ping Yincheng disciples were killed by Hongyan's single dragonfly lotus leaf sword. Hongyan pointed her sword at Shangguan and said goodbye: "If you know this lotus leaf sword technique, let your horse come over."
When Shangguan saw this, he exclaimed: "What a handsome swordsmanship. He really received the true inheritance from Wu Chongyu." He thought to himself: "With such superb swordsmanship, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat him, so it's better to leave first." Thinking of this Shangguan said goodbye: "I'll let you two go for today, but I won't let you off lightly when we meet again tomorrow." After saying that, he got up and walked away in a hurry, and fled away.
Hongyan let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Shangguan had already fled.
The last trace of energy had been exhausted, and Hongyan collapsed to the ground unconsciously. Yuerong hurriedly stepped forward to support Hongyan and asked: "Hongyan, are you injured?" Hongyan said softly: "No, if he didn't try his best to fight just now and only threatened Shangguan not to leave, if he fights with me again, I was no longer able to defeat him. Our lives were at risk at that time."
Yuerong nodded happily and said: "The swordsmanship you used to kill the enemy just now was so beautiful!" Hongyan sighed: "Not even 50% of daddy's swordsmanship." Hongyan raised her eyes and asked Yuerong: "Yuerong, do you have water?" After hearing this, Yuerong hurriedly unwrapped her body, took out the water hyacinth, and said to Hongyan: "I still have two facial masks, let's eat them together." Hongyan took the water hyacinth and drank a few sweet sips. Yue Rong took out the facial mask and handed it to Hong Yan. Hong Yan saw that Yue Rong's injured shoulder was still bleeding, and the whole shoulder had already been stained red. Hongyan said hurriedly: "Don't act rashly, your shoulder is still bleeding, let me bandage it for you before talking." This word reminded Yuerong that just now she was only concerned about whether Hongyan was injured, and she temporarily endured the pain. , at this moment Hongyan said, Yuerong felt that her right shoulder was numb with pain. Yuerong saw that her right shoulder was full of blood, she couldn't help but frowned a few times, and kept moaning in her mouth.
Hongyan asked Yuerong to sit down under the old tree, and slowly took off Yuerong's shirt, exposing her shoulders. Then Xi wiped away the blood stains on his shoulder. Seeing that Yue Rong's shoulders and muscles were white and smooth, she looked like a daughter who had been living in a boudoir for a long time, so she unconsciously pursed her lips and smiled. Yuerong endured the pain at this time, but unconsciously, a sweet fragrance floated into her nose. Yuerong turned her head and saw Hongyan's snow-white neck coming into view. The moon is inexplicably startled, it seems to be a doorway where you can see thousands of beauties. The endless spring scenery inside the door is fascinating, and the sweet fragrance is just floating out from the door.
Yue Rong was in a daze, unconsciously imagining things. Ever since Yuerong left Wu Chongyu's family, it was rare for a woman to take such careful care of him by his father's side. Growing up, he had been loved and treated by his father and the rest of the Natural Sect. But today this seemingly simple care brought him endless warmth. It was a wonderful feeling that he had never experienced before. Yuerong calmed down in this atmosphere, forgetting everything and the pain.
"Okay, how do you feel?" "What's wrong with you? Are you in pain? Why are you in a daze?" Hongyan asked two questions in a row.
Yue Rong calmed down and looked at her right shoulder. It had been bandaged and her clothes were on. Hongyan asked again: "Why does it look like this? Does it hurt?" Yuerong moved her right shoulder and said: "It's so scary to kill!" Hongyan said: "The golden sore medicine has a curative effect on the wound. Please bear with it a little longer. In the future Don't move this shoulder less, such a minor injury will heal soon." Yuerong nodded. He took out two white steamed buns from the baggage, handed them to Hongyan and said, "Let's eat them together!" Hongyan took the steamed buns and sat next to Yuerong, and the two of them enjoyed the steamed buns together.
Yuerong asked Hongyan while eating: "I just heard what Shangguanbie said in Pingyin City. I don't know whether it is true or not. How is Uncle Wu's situation? Shangguanbie is just talking nonsense, right?" Hongyan listened to Yuerong's question and asked herself I thought that if I told him the truth, it would only make him sad with my family. What's the use? So Hongyan said: "The past dreams are like smoke and clouds, there is no need to mention them again, and there is no need to worry about them." Yuerong was about to ask again, but Hongyan immediately interrupted: "Yuerong, I heard that the children of military generals can ride and shoot, and the children of civil servants are good at writing and ink. , you are in a home of martial arts heroes like Zizimen, how come you don’t understand martial arts?"
Yuerong said: "Don't you know that those who enter the vermilion are not necessarily red, and those who are close to the ink are not necessarily black!"
Hongyan asked again: "You don't practice martial arts in the natural gate, what have you done for more than ten years?" Yuerong said: "I recite poems, paint, cultivate bamboos and watch flowers all day long, don't I feel at ease? Sometimes I enjoy some The military strategy, the theory of governing the country. It is also worthy of the youth." Hongyan sighed: "These many years have passed, and you are no longer what you used to be. You are no longer the naughty moon face you had when you were a child, let alone a commoner in the world. No wonder I don't recognize you." Yuerong said: "You are not the same as before. The only red mole behind your ear is still there. If I didn't ask before, I'm afraid I wouldn't know we met." Yuerong finished eating the steamed buns and went to Hongyan's side. He leaned against Hongyan and said, "Now it feels like I'm back to my childhood again." Hongyan sighed, "I also hope that I will always be a child, the flowers will always be blooming, and the people in the past will never leave. , It's a pity that we have to grow up and face everything." Yuerong didn't worry too much after hearing what Hongyan said. She just grabbed Hongyan's hand and said: "Hongyan, it's rare to see you today. Can you stay at my house for a few days? ?”
Hongyan looked at Yuerong Wuyou's childish face, smiled lightly and said, "Okay!"
The two cuddled up under the ancient tree for a long time, and Yuerong gradually fell into sleep.
Hongyan gently supported Yue Rongan by the ancient tree, raised her sword and stood up, saying: "There are few people in the world who have such pure love for me. I don't know when we will meet again after we say goodbye. This world does not belong to you. I hope you will not be involved in the storm again, good luck, Yue Rong!" After saying this, Hongyan looked at Yue Rong sleeping next to the tree, smiled sweetly, and walked away alone with her sword. She didn't know how dangerous the road ahead would be. many……
