The birds in the majestic mountains are gone, and the beasts on the vast earth are gone. One night in the late winter of the 14th year of Shaoxing, a young man suddenly appeared in the uninhabited wilderness. At this moment, he was respectfully bowing to the tombstone with three animal sacrifices, incense, candles and paper foil in front of him.
After performing the memorial ceremony, the young man took out a large sword with a shiny black sheath from his waist. Then, he opened Liuhe with his fists, walked like a dragon, and used a set of fierce sword skills. The cold light on the knife enters the night, and the moon rises in the shadow of the wind in the pines. The knife in his hand danced faster and faster, and the young man's figure became strange and erratic.
After practicing for an unknown amount of time, the young man suddenly pushed his feet on the ground, pressed his body to the extreme, slightly bent his arms, and pushed out the sword horizontally. Under the shining starlight and thousands of falling plum blossoms, when he put away the knife, he only heard a "click" sound, and several old pine trees as thick as a bowl were cut into two pieces at the waist.
This style is the "sweeping four poles" in the Fu family's sword technique. The Liuhe sword technique was created by Fu Cha, a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, and this young man is Fu Tianpeng, the son of Fu Cha. My father spent his entire life in the military and made great contributions to the people of the country. Unexpectedly, he fell into the trap of the traitor Kong Yanzhou, and finally died with hatred. Every time he thought about this matter, Fu Tianpeng couldn't control the sadness and anger in his heart. His father's hatred was irreconcilable, so he broke a branch and swore an oath that he would find Kong Yanzhou on this trip south to avenge himself.
After staying overnight in Xiaoxing and traveling by boat and car for more than ten days, Fu Tianpeng arrived at a remote mountain road under the jurisdiction of Pingjiang Mansion. The bone-chilling cold of the winter night and the unbearable hunger in his belly made Fu Tianpeng feel the stars shaking in front of his eyes, and his feet felt like soft cotton. Fortunately, he was a martial arts practitioner. When he was in a difficult situation, Fu Tianpeng moved his Qi to Xiao Zhoutian, and his fatigue gradually eased. In this way, Fu Tianpeng followed the steep stone steps down the mountain when he was slightly full of energy. Not far ahead, there was a faint flash of fire, and Fu Tianpeng knew that he had reached a village and could rest his horse.
In front of a thatched cottage, Fu Tianpeng stopped and gently knocked on the door. Not long after, an old voice came from inside asking: "Who is knocking on the door late at night?"
Fu Tianpeng replied: "I am a traveler who missed the inn. Please stay overnight." As soon as Fu Tianpeng finished speaking, the door opened. An old man with gray hair and a childish face stood opposite him. Fu Tianpeng quickly bowed to the old man and the old man let him in. The furnishings in the house were rough and crude, with an oil lamp feebly emitting a weak light on a mottled square table on the earthen bed.
The old man asked Fu Tianpeng to wait for a moment, and then shouted outside: "We have a visitor, Ruoyan, hurry up and prepare some food and wine." Not long after, a girl came in with a food tray. When Ruoyan got closer, Fu Tianpeng raised his head and glanced at her. The girl's eyebrows are like willow leaves, her eyes are like a clear lake, and there are pink lips under her pretty nose. Although she is not a beautiful woman, she is still charming. When Fu Tianpeng saw Ruoyan, his mind wandered to the sky, and for a moment he forgot to thank him and salute him. And Ruoyan looked at Fu Tianpeng with his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and his heart was like a deer. Fortunately, the old man pretended to cough slightly and rescued the two of them. Ruoyan's face was like a crimson cloud and he left shyly. The old man and Fu Tianpeng raised their glasses and drank.
It is just like "a thousand cups are too little when drinking with a close friend", the old man and Fu Tianpeng had a very happy conversation. From the conversation, Fu Tianpeng learned that the old man's surname was Han Mingxian, and he was originally a captain in the infantry camp. Because he was dissatisfied with Prime Minister Li Bangyan's deprivation of military rations, which resulted in the army's defeat, he escaped from Bianzhou with Ruoyan Juye, and his grandfather and grandson lived an anonymous life in this wilderness mountain village.
The clouds covered the sun and the powerful ministers were in power. Han Xian drank and vented his dissatisfaction. Seeing that the old man was agitated, Fu Tianpeng tried to persuade him with a few words. Han Xianzui looked at Fu Tianpeng with hazy eyes, then picked up the wine glass and said to him: "Young hero, I saw that you were carrying a sword and came to this mountainous place, so you must have a plan. You might as well talk to me sincerely. Ming said, see if I can help you, old man?"
Han Xian's words were resounding, and they were definitely not drunken jokes. Fu Tianpeng was grateful, but as the old man was old and not related to him, how could he bear to let Han Xian get involved in Jianghu grudges. Therefore, Fu Tianpeng did not make his personal enmity with Kong Yanzhou clear. He just told Han Xian: "A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people. He came all the way to Pingjiang Mansion just to find Liu Renli." As soon as Fu Tianpeng said this, the drunk Han Xian suddenly woke up. In order to confirm whether he heard correctly, Han Xian asked.
After receiving Fu Tianpeng's affirmative reply, Han Xian twirled his beard and looked solemn. Fu Tianpeng saw that Han Xian was behaving differently and asked him why. Han Xian told Fu Tianpeng that the old hero Liu Renli commanded the Thirteen Rudders of Taihu Lake. He was a man of justice, distributing wealth and eliminating violence, and was quite prestigious in the Wuyue area. Moreover, there are many experts in the Long Whale Gang, and Fu Tianpeng is alone, so he is afraid that something unexpected will happen. Fu Tianpeng thanked Han Xian for telling the truth, but the blood feud had to be avenged. The purpose of entering the Long Whale Gang alone this time is to fight Liu Renli to the death. The young man was still full of energy, but Han Xian refused to listen, so he had to find another plan. The bright moon hung high and the night was like ink. Han Xian settled Fu Tianpeng, closed the door and went to rest.
The rapid sound of horse hooves in the middle of the night and the constant shouting of killing broke the tranquility of Hanjia Village in Pingjiang Prefecture. Taking advantage of the bright moon and bright stars, I saw this group of men and horses. After marching for a while, they stopped in front of the Han family. The cavalry lined up on both sides and stopped, and a man emerged from behind.
This man has a curly beard on his face and a fierce look in his eyes. He raised his whip and pointed forward, and then one of the minions waved his fist like a vinegar bowl and began to smash the door violently. "Bang bang bang", the frightening knocking on the door resounded in my ears. As the dust on the rafters continued to shake off, the heavy door panel collapsed. The previous minions rushed in with steel knives in hand, and the room was immediately enveloped in a sad atmosphere of crying and lamentation.
When they were young, the gangsters brought the young and old of the Han family in front of the bandit leader. The bandit leader looked at them carefully with a pair of rat eyes. Han Xian's expression was solemn and he kept silent; Ruoyanmomo's eyebrows were furrowed and he was sobbing. After a while, the bandit leader broke the silence and ordered his men to tie Ruoyan to their horses and prepare to return to the village.
Anger burned in Han Xian's chest. He used his body like dry wood to block the bandit leader's horse, intending to prevent the villain from leaving. "The old immortal thing is tired of living." The bandit leader became angry and immediately took out a large ring knife from his waist and slashed at the old man's head. A cold light flashed on the knife, and Han Xian's fate was at stake. The scene before her eyes made Ruoyan burst into tears. At the critical moment of life and death, a "swish" sound was heard, and a flying stone appeared from nowhere, knocking the knife from the villain's hand away.
The bandit leader looked around and saw that the night was dark and quiet and there was no one around. Not knowing the opponent's movements made the bandit leader feel very passive. In order to reverse the situation, he yelled viciously: "Little thief, hurting people with hidden arrows is nothing. If you have the ability, just fight one-on-one with Grandpa Jia Ren." As soon as the bandit leader finished speaking, a ghost-like figure appeared. A figure appeared behind him.
The minions reminded Jia Ren to pay attention. Jia Ren turned his head in shock and saw a young swordsman. This young man is about seventeen years old. He wears a bamboo hat on his head, a coarse linen short brown, a chilong silk pendant on his waist, walking cloud shoes on his feet, and a blue wave sword in his hand emits a sad light. Look at the appearance of the young man again; he is seven feet long, with black hair hanging down his shoulders, two sword-shaped eyebrows slanting, a pair of black eyes like jade, lips like dots of grease, and teeth like braided shells. There was a faint aura of loneliness and coldness on her extremely beautiful face, which was hard to look at.
When Jia Ren saw that Fu Tianpeng was a young man, his fear was greatly reduced. He reined in his horse and snatched the Ghost-headed Sword from the hand of one of the minions beside him. After screaming strangely, he jumped into the air like a kite and then swung the sword to slash Fu Tianpeng's face. When Han Xian, Ruoyan and his grandson saw Jia Ren suddenly killing Fu Tianpeng, they were worried about his safety.
When Fu Tianpeng saw the knife coming, he unhurriedly moved away. Jia Ren's "bangs chop woodcutter" move made the blade miss the mark and happened to fall in front of Fu Tianpeng. Fu Tianpeng took the lead and took advantage of the force. He slightly bent his left elbow, leaned forward suddenly, and knocked Jia Ren two feet away with a "Golden Bull Hitting the Mountain". Being humiliated by a young boy in front of the thieves, Jia Ren was furious. He spit out the thick blood in his mouth on the ground, took out the eagle claw from his arms, and threw it towards Fu Tianpeng.
The flying eagle's claws are made of fine steel, and the gravel is like mud. Jia Ren had just suffered a loss in a close combat with Fu Tianpeng. He suddenly hatched an evil plan and wanted to borrow a weapon "one inch long, one inch strong", and quickly killed Fu Tianpeng. Fu Tianpeng's feet are too weak, his steps are two steps, and his body movements are as light as a swallow. Jia Ren's flying eagle claws only hovered around Fu Tianpeng, but could not hurt him at all. After a long stalemate, Jia Ren gradually became unable to do what he wanted, and his offensive was not as good as before. Fu Tianpeng leaned forward and grasped the flying eagle's claw tightly with his iron-like hands. Jia Ren's expression changed drastically, and he tried his best to hold on to the other end of the rope. At this time, Fu Tianpeng suddenly withdrew his hand, and the flying eagle claws lost their balance and whizzed towards Jia Ren's head.
Jia Ren was so frightened by the flying eagle claws that he retreated continuously and almost fell down. The minions watching the battle shouted at him: "Second Village Master, there is no flying eagle claw in front of you at all. Those are all illusions, don't be fooled by this kid." Jia Ren, who was still in shock, was about to speak when suddenly his chest A white rainbow appeared in front of him. After hearing a scream of "Ah", Jia Ren fell to the ground and died.
When the minions saw that Jia Ren was killed by Fu Tianpeng and left behind the Han family's grandchildren, they fled one after another. After the thieves dispersed, Fu Tianpeng untied Han Xian and Ruoyan and said to them: "In my opinion, the thieves will never give up. You weak, old and orphaned girls should leave here as soon as possible to avoid the revenge of the bandits." ." Han Xian thanked Fu Tianpeng for his life-saving grace. He told Fu Tianpeng that he was already in his twilight years and didn't want to go anywhere. If he really wanted to leave, please ask him to take Ruoyan with him.
Fu Tianpeng glanced at Ruoyan, her beautiful eyes sparkling with tears. They seemed to have a thousand words to say to each other, but now they were speechless. After a long time, Ruoyan said to Han Xian: "Grandpa, I will be with you even if I die." Han Xian sighed and held his granddaughter's hand, not knowing what to say.
With a heavy responsibility ahead of him, Fu Tianpeng couldn't stay any longer. He waved goodbye to Han Xian and Ruoyan, and took advantage of the night to look for the Long Whale Gang. The road ahead is long and dangerous, and Fu Tianpeng's trip will definitely be full of difficulties. However, he has already put life and death aside.
