The earth is flat and spring is thousands of miles away, and the light rain has no trace. As if outside the cold smoke, Jiang Lang was silent.
Taoist Master Jingyin walked in front, followed by Bai Yutian, and came to the Mirror Lake. I saw a man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, sitting by the water with a fishing rod. His body was as quiet as a mountain, as if he had the aura to sit down and transform the world, so he stopped and followed him as quietly as a mountain.
Zhuo Yifei, Hu Yanqing, and Zhang Yaner came over one after another. Seeing that Taoist Master Jingyin and Bai Yutian were still and silent, they also stood together with Jingyin, waiting for the man to catch the fish in the lake. First.
The fishing man felt someone coming, glanced sideways at Taoist Master Jingyin, and sang:
"Life is destiny, what do you ask for? Today I don't know what will happen tomorrow, what are you worried about? If you don't respect your parents and ghosts and gods, what do you respect?... Killing people with swords and pens, and eventually committing suicide, what's the point? There are gods three feet above your head, bullying What?...His family was rich and wealthy in his previous life. Why are you jealous? If you didn't cultivate in the past life and you are suffering now, why should you blame him? Why should you be anxious when you have no luck?...You can't take a penny with you after you die. What's the blame? The land of your predecessors What do future generations take for themselves? Why do they gain advantages but lose advantages? What are they greedy for? What is cleverness but a mistake for cleverness? What is a coincidence? False words ruin life's blessings. What lies? After all, right and wrong are self-explanatory. What is there to argue about?... When people fight for leisure, all their energy is in vain. What are you angry about? Wicked people will be punished by their own wicked people, what do you hate? How long will the resentment end? What is the end? We don't meet each other in life, so why be cruel? The world is really like a game of chess, what does it count? Who is always safe, what is the blame? The hole is in the human heart but not in the mountain. What are you trying to do? To deceive others is to bring disaster to others, so why be strong? Once everything is impermanent, what are you busy with?"
When the singing stopped, Taoist Master Jingyin walked over with his four children and said with a smile: "Da Lang, you are so excited today!"
Fisherman Jiang Langfeng stood up, picked up the bamboo basket beside him, and walked towards the house behind him. He seemed not to have heard the greetings from Taoist Master Jingyin.
Zhang Yan'er grabbed Taoist Priest Jingyin's sleeves and asked softly: "Taoist Priest, are you here by mistake?"
Taoist Master Jingyin stopped and replied with a smile: "I have already welcomed you, my child, with all the courtesy."
Zhang Yaner asked: "Taoist Priest, are you talking about the singing just now?"
Taoist Master Jingyin replied: "This song is sung only once a year, and it is precious!" Walking towards the house, Bai Yutian and the others followed closely.
The house is very elegant, with five or six rooms, embracing a hall, with wooden walls, wooden doors, wooden windows, and even the floor made of smoked bamboo.
Jiang Langfeng took off his bamboo hat and raincoat, walked into the hall, and said to the chessboard in the back room: "That stinky Taoist priest from Sanqing Mountain who doesn't know the seasons and years is here."
After hearing this, the two chess players put down their chess pieces and glanced behind Taoist Jingyin, displeased.
A man with a beard sat upright on the bamboo chair and said with a bad face: "Old Taoist, do you want us to kick you out if you come here uninvited like this?"
Taoist Master Jingyin took off his bamboo hat and raincoat, hung it on the wooden pillar next to the door, walked in, sat down, and said: "Erlang, Jiang Daogong has passed away. I am here to invite you to eat at Longwei Escort House." Let’s have a meal and express our condolences.”
Another man with a handsome face stood up, walked away from the chessboard, and said with squinted eyes: "He passed away, no, there is nothing to express condolences to. He did not listen to the advice and insisted on developing the Escort Bureau. The tree is so big that it attracts the wind. If he doesn't die today, He will die tomorrow too."
Taoist Master Jingyin took the tea cup handed by Jiang Langfeng and said: "It is normal for people in this world to earn fame and seek profit. It's just that Jiang Daogong lived an upright life, but his death was unclear. Shouldn't it be his fault?" Asking for justice is very heart-wrenching. As his friends, your friendship for more than 20 years is like a bottle of sake. If you are willing to stand by and watch, there will really be no friendship in this world."
Jiang Langfeng sat down and said calmly: "Old Taoist, you named yourself Jingyin. Is this the way to practice?"
Taoist Master Jingyin smiled and replied: "Jingyin, Jingyin, live in seclusion in a clean way. How can you talk about being clean if the righteousness of friends is not fulfilled."
Jiang Yafeng said: "Taoist, you are an outsider. If you don't mess with the world of mortals, you will be clean."
Taoist Master Jingyin stood up and said to Jiang Yafeng: "Erlang, you invited me to drink wine and eat meat. I have never refused, just because no matter how much I practice, I just can't get rid of this human body. The human body is still there, and the human heart cannot be extinguished." , no matter how you practice, you can only cultivate good things, and you can only eliminate evil things. After all, good and evil should be clearly distinguished."
Jiang Yafeng said: "Old Taoist, you come here to see the couplet at the door every time. It has been hanging for almost twenty years. The ink has seeped into the pillars and cannot be washed away. You should go back."
Bai Yutian stood outside the door and listened carefully. He looked carefully at the pillars on both sides of the door and saw some ink stains, vaguely connected together, like a couplet: Don't be surprised by favor or disgrace, just watch the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court. There is no intention to leave or go, just follow the clouds rolling and relaxing in the sky.
Taoist Master Jingyin took a sip of tea, glanced at the children outside, turned back, and said to Jiang Langfeng: "Dalang, today I came here just for the couplet at the door. If it really can't be washed away, then Just tear it down and burn it, since there is plenty of good wood in Jianglang Mountain."
Jiang Lingfeng said: "Old Taoist, if you want to destroy it, you have to get a new couplet and hang it up."
Bai Yutian stood at the door and replied: "If you are not close to human nature, everyone in the world will be afraid of the road; if you are not aware of the situation of things, you will live in a dream all your life."
Taoist Master Jingyin smiled at Bai Yutian, turned away and said, "Look at this kid, how well he talks!"
Jiang Langfeng glanced at Bai Yutian for a few times, and saw that he looked familiar, and said, "Boy, come in and talk."
Bai Yutian walked in, bowed slightly to the three heroes of the Jiang family and said, "Junior Bai Yutian, let the three seniors imprison themselves in Jianglang Mountain for more than twenty years without leaving the house. On behalf of my father, I will make amends to the three seniors."
Jiang Lingfeng heard this and had a surprised expression on his face. He looked at Bai Yutian carefully and said to Taoist Jingyin: "Could he be...?"
Taoist Master Jingyin replied: "Back then, you started out from the moral principles of the world, harmed the moral principles of the world, and imprisoned yourself for more than twenty years. Although the punishment was a bit severe, it was justified. Today I brought my children here. First, I opened the cage. Let you be reborn; secondly, I ask you to come out and help Longwei Escorts overcome the difficulties, fulfill your responsibilities as friends, and avoid leaving any regrets."
Jiang Langfeng said: "Boy, do you have any evidence to prove that Bai Tianyu and his wife are still alive?"
Bai Yutian replied: "The three seniors fought against my father back then, so they know the swordsmanship of Yijian Sect. I am not talented, so I would like to fight against the three seniors on my father's behalf. If I can survive under the swords of the three seniors, After a move and a half, I would like to ask three seniors to put aside all their worries and come out to help Longwei Escorts overcome the difficulties."
Jiang Langfeng heard this, looked at Taoist Master Jingyin, and said, "Jingyin, if I hurt him, don't blame me for not showing mercy to you."
Taoist Master Jingyin smiled and replied: "Da Lang, you can greet me as you wish. You don't have to show mercy to me."
Jiang Yafeng stood up, walked half a circle around Bai Yutian, touched the beard on his chin, and said softly: "He is somewhat similar to Bai Yutian, but his face is much softer, like a woman who has grown up among women. children."
Taoist Master Jingyin said loudly: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let's compete with swords!"
Jiang Langfeng approached Bai Yutian and said in a good voice: "Young student, my brother practices the Three-Hail Guiyi. Don't think I'm bullying you."
Bai Yutian bowed slightly and said: "Thanks to the three seniors for their teachings!"
Zhang Yan'er heard about it, walked in quickly, pulled Bai Yutian's sleeve, and whispered: "Brother Bai, your father was defeated by the swords of the three of them back then, so he can't show off."
Bai Yutian smiled slightly and said: "My father had to focus on taking care of my mother back then. He was only injured a little, so it is not considered a defeat."
Jiang Lingfeng said: "Yes, my brother pretended to sneak attack on your mother. If your father didn't love his wife so much, he would never have been injured."
Jiang Yafeng took out three swords from the back room, one for each of the three brothers, and walked out of the hall.
Bai Yutian followed Taoist Master Jingyin out of the house, and followed the three heroes of the Jiang family to a small field by the Mirror Lake. He took off his bamboo hat, took off his raincoat, and pulled out the peach wood sword from his waist. He walked over and saluted the three of them: "Senior, please enlighten me!"
Jiang's Three Heroes unsheathed their swords and quickly moved to surround Bai Yutian.
As a junior, Bai Yutian used the "spring breeze blowing willows" move towards Jiang Langfeng to strike first.
Jiang Langfeng dodged and faced the move "Rain Dances with the Wind". The sword cut the rain in front of him and stabbed Bai Yutian in the abdomen.
The white jade sword was recovered, and he pushed away Jiang Langfeng's sword. He ducked to the right and used the "close the door to resist theft" move to welcome the sword from behind by Jiang Lingfeng. The internal energy was poured into the peach wood, and Jiang Lingfeng's sword body was used to thrust towards Jiang Yafeng, who was attacking from the side.
Jiang Lingfeng was shocked. Fortunately, he sheathed his sword in time and did not hurt Jiang Yafeng's right arm.
Jiang Langfeng missed the target with his sword, stepped forward quickly, and stabbed Bai Yu's left waist with his sword, as fast as the wind.
Bai Yutian felt the sword wind coming from the side, kicked his toes back, and jumped five steps.
Jiang Yafeng immediately followed up, rotated his wrist a few times, and used the "Xiaguang Luli" move. Six or seven lights and shadows shot at Bai Yutian's arms, chest, abdomen, and crotch.
Bai Yutian concentrated his attention and was not disturbed by the phantom. He used one move to "remove the false and preserve the true" to push aside Jiang Yafeng's sword edge. The tip of the sword went straight in, and used a "single sword to penetrate directly" directly into Jiang Yafeng's chest.
Seeing that Bai Yutian's backhand was too fast, Jiang Yafeng had no choice but to jump back.
After a few rounds, the two sides were tied. Taoist Master Jingyin saw that his hair was slowly getting soaked by the rain. He was very unhappy and said to the fighting circle: "Dalang, can you brothers hurry up? It's wet." Are you feeling the rain?"
The Jiang brothers also felt that it was not possible to continue fighting like this and it would be detrimental to their dignity, so they came back three times to assist in the attack and coordinate the retreat.
When Jiang Langfeng saw Bai Yutian stabbing his second brother Jiang Yafeng with all his strength, he thought it was a good opportunity and turned his body into an arrow feather to shoot towards Bai Yutian. It was like a comet streaking across the sky, hitting Bai Yutian's chest.
Bai Yutian never used his sword moves, and he had deep internal strength. Seeing Jiang Langfeng's attack, he stopped in the air, retracted his sword moves, fell backwards and fell to the ground, kicked up, and pointed his toes towards Jiang Langfeng's Tianshu point. .
Jiang Langfeng didn't know that Bai Yutian was a descendant of Chunyang Clan. He had pure internal strength and could attack and defend as he pleased. Without a backhand, the Tianshu point was hit, unable to improve the Qi movement, so it had to pass through the sky above the white jade sky, like a shot arrow. Once the strength was exhausted, it fell to the ground, motionless.
The three Jiang brothers formed a trinity. One of them lost, and the other two's fighting power declined. They thought they were no match for Bai Yutian. Although they were unwilling to do so, they still accepted the fact, sheathed their swords, and gave up.
Seeing this, Bai Yutian quickly walked to Jiang Langfeng and helped him push the palace through the acupoint.
After Jiang Langfeng's acupuncture point was solved, he stood up, picked up the sword, and walked towards the house without leaving any words.
