The rising sun was rising in the east. On the streets of Langya County, four people were shouting a name heartbreakingly. A man in his fifties, a middle-aged woman, and behind them a man in his thirties. There was a young man about the age of a crown, and the three of them shouted,
"Zhang Yue!"
"my daughter!"
"younger sister!"
...........
On the street, there was a donkey chewing spinach sold by a vegetable seller. The man angrily hit the donkey with a stick, and the donkey took a mouthful of spinach and ran away.
In the forest, Zhang Yue was wearing Zhu Shun's coat. He opened his lazy eyes, scratched his messy hair with his hands, stretched, yawned, and woke up.
"You're awake." Zhu Shun was lighting a bonfire, roasting sweet potatoes, blowing on them and handing them to Zhang Yue.
"Thank you, Master Zhu." Zhang Yue took the sweet potato handed over by Zhu Shun.
Zhu Shun said:
"Just call me Zhu Shun. After eating the sweet potatoes, let's continue to find a way out."
Zhang Yue replied:
"Okay, Master Zhu."
After eating the sweet potatoes, they walked out of this dilapidated house, which was surrounded by mountains on three sides. They walked for an unknown amount of time, but they still didn't know where they were.
Not far away there was a very wide river with no end in sight. Not far away there was an old man paddling a canoe, paddling slowly on the river.
Zhu Shun shouted loudly on the shore:
"Uncle, come here!"
Zhang Yue followed Zhu Shun and shouted loudly:
"Uncle, come here!"
When the old man paddling the canoe heard this, he slowly rowed towards Zhu Shun.
The old man's boat slowly docked, and Zhu Shun asked:
"Uncle, where is this?"
The old man replied:
"This is Wenshui, are you lost?"
Zhu Shun replied:
"To be honest, we are from Langya County and we are indeed lost."
The old man said:
"Langya County is sixty miles away from here. Let me give you a ride."
Zhu Shun cupped his fists and said:
"Thank you, uncle."
Zhu Shun and Zhang Yue got on the boat, and the old man rowed the boat, surrounded by mountains. I don’t know how long I paddled, but there was a bamboo forest not far away.
From a distance, the bamboo forest is as green as a piece of flawless emerald; from a closer look, the bamboo forest looks like a green barrier.
The old man rowed to the shore and said:
"It's not far from this forest to Langya County. I'll leave first."
Zhu Shun and Zhang Yue got off the boat, and the old man continued paddling in this beautiful place with clear mountains and clear waters.
Zhu Shun cupped his fists and said:
"Thank you, uncle."
Deep in this quiet bamboo forest, seven men were chatting in the bamboo forest. Elegant, touching, soft and light music came from the forest.
There was a man in white clothes and holding a folding fan sitting on the ground playing chess. Sitting opposite him was a man in a white robe with a bun, a dust in his hand and a sword on his back.
The man was looking at the chess game with a smile.
There is also a man in a dark green robe sitting on the ground playing the Xiao, and a man with a sword hanging from his waist sitting next to the man playing the Xiao playing the bamboo flute. Sitting opposite them was a man with slightly white temples. The man was about forty years old, with long flowing hair, and he was playing the guzheng. Next to the man playing the guzheng, there was a short, fat man with a strong body and a tall belly. He was playing the pipa, and the beautiful music sounded through the forest.
There was also a shirtless young man lying drunkenly next to the wine tank.
The lingering sound of the music lingered for three days. If you listen carefully, a deep but ethereal feeling will immediately occupy your heart, as if all the hustle and bustle has gone away, and there is only this heavenly sound.
Zhang Yue and Zhu Shun walked slowly in this quiet bamboo forest. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhu Shun heard the beautiful music in his ears.
Zhu Shun looked at Zhang Yue and asked:
"Zhang Yue, did you hear anything?"
Zhang Yue replied:
"Master Zhu, I seem to have heard it. The music is beautiful."
Zhu Shun said:
"Let's take a look, let's go."
Then Zhang Yue followed Zhu Shun and walked slowly towards the area where the music was heard. After a while, the two of them stopped and looked at the seven men.
Zhu Shun led Zhang Yue to continue walking slowly, and then slowly walked to a place far away from them, and then hid under a thick bamboo.
Zhu Shundao:
"They don't know whether they are good guys or bad guys. Let's be cautious."
The man in the robe seemed to have noticed them, and then jumped next to Zhu Shun and the others. The man in white asked:
"Who are you!"
Then Zhu Shun held the knife in his left hand and looked very wary and replied:
"We were passing by here and came over just out of curiosity."
Everyone in the bamboo forest stopped what they were doing and looked here.
The man in a white robe noticed Zhu Shun's left hand, then jumped into the air and struck Zhu Shun with both palms. Zhu Shun shouted:
"Zhang Yue, please go farther away first!"
The young man in the robe had black mist on his right hand and white mist on his left hand. Because Zhu Shun's right arm was injured, he pulled out the horizontal sword with his left hand and blocked the palm. However, he was knocked back several feet and rolled several times. The sword trembled, and Zhu Shun blocked it with difficulty.
The man holding the flute said:
"This young man's sword skills and Dao Gang look a bit familiar. It feels like we've seen each other before."
The young man in white replied:
"It's a bit like that senior's swordsmanship. Let's take a look."
The young man in robe stopped attacking and put his hands behind his back.
Zhu Shun said:
"Senior, I'm really passing by!"
The young man in the robe asked back:
"If you were really passing by, why were you so wary and drew your sword?"
Zhu Shun replied:
"Senior, this is no nonsense! You suddenly attack me. If I don't block it, it will be useless."
The man in robe squinted his eyes and replied:
"I see you are also a martial artist. I haven't practiced for a long time. Let's give it a try!"
Zhu Shun blocked with difficulty with his left hand, just blocking. Seeing that he didn't want to block with both hands, the young man in robe stopped attacking and asked:
"Why do you hold the knife in your left hand?"
Zhu Shun replied:
"My right arm is injured, so I don't dare to exert force."
The man in robe stopped attacking and said:
"How about I use one hand too?"
Then the man in the robe put his left hand behind his back, and a Yin-Yang Bagua appeared on his right palm. He stood there. After a palm, a mist-like Yin-Yang Bagua exploded instantly. Suddenly, the man in the robe was the center, and mist suddenly floated out from the top. It was like a yin and yang gossip, with a man in robe standing in the center, and the bamboo forest suddenly shook. Large bamboo leaves fell slowly, and the bamboo leaves fell one after another, like an oriole spreading its wings. Zhang Yue was knocked out several feet. Zhu Shun sheathed his sword, quickly jumped towards Zhang Yue, hugged her, and was knocked out several feet together.
The young man in white couldn't stand it anymore and cursed:
"Lu Yike, his grandma must be bullying the younger generation. They are so young, so they might just be passing by."
The young man in white cursed again:
"Stop staring at these two young men, let's have a fight later!"
Then the young man in white instantly moved to Zhu Shun's side. He couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Zhu Shun, who was covered with scars, protecting the girl tightly. Then he helped Zhu Shun up. Zhang Yue's eyes suddenly turned red when she saw Zhu Shun was injured like this. said:
"Brother Zhu, I'm really sorry for you. You suffered a lot just to send me home."
The young man in white asked:
"Is the injury serious?"
Zhu Shun wiped the blood on his face and replied:
"It's not a big problem, it's just that this senior was too harsh."
Zhu Shun looked at Zhang Yue and said with a smile:
"It's fine."
Zhang Yue cried and hugged Zhu Shun, and Zhu Shun's cheeks turned red again.
The man in white said:
"Come with me."
Then Zhu Shun and Zhang Yue followed the man in white and slowly came to where they were sitting, bringing a bowl of wine to each of them.
The shirtless man had actually sobered up a long time ago. When he saw this scene, he angrily ran to Lu Yike:
"Don't you know? I can't stand to see the girl cry! How about we fight, don't just bully the juniors!"
Lu Yike looked sideways at the shirtless man and said:
"come!"
Then the shirtless man put up a boxing stance and stared at the robed man named Lu Yike, who also put up a boxing stand.
In an instant, the shirtless man swung his fist towards Lu Yike. His momentum was so strong that the surrounding bamboos swung several times.
Lu Yi can wave his palms, and in an instant, Lu Yi can generate a Yin-Yang Bagua under his feet, and then put his palms in front, bursting instantly, and a white and black mist appears around him again. The shirtless man disperses the mist, and his fists are shocking, like a tiger roaring.
The two struggled for several times, and a sword slowly flew out of the shirtless man's hand. The handle of the sword was like a tiger biting the sword, glowing with golden light. Lu Yike took out the dust and wrapped it around the sword-holding arm of the shirtless man. Then Lu Yike pulled out the sword he was carrying and slashed at the shirtless man. Lu Yike was immediately shocked by the sword's edge. The shirtless man blocked with his sword, and a golden tiger sprang up behind the shirtless man. It looked like a tiger and could pounce on Lu.
In an instant, a man with slightly white temples and long flowing hair leaped towards the two of them, then held their arms with both hands, flipped them over, and forcibly interrupted their entanglement. In an instant, the surrounding bamboos seemed to be blown by a hurricane. generally.
The man with slightly white temples said angrily:
"You brothers, are you still trying your best? Are you going to make a difference?"
The two of them instantly stood in front of the man with pale temples, bowed their heads and clasped their fists:
"Senior Brother Ji."
This man with slightly white temples is the elder brother of the Suishan Seven Heroes, named Ji Sizheng.
Ji Sizheng said:
"Ruan Qing, Lu Yike, you two go to Suishan to admit your mistake to the master in person. If I don't take action, someone will really die."
Ji Sizheng walked slowly to Zhu Shun, lowered his head and clasped his fists:
"Young man, I'm frightened."
Lu Yike walked slowly to Zhu Shun's side and clasped his fists:
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Ruan Qing looked sideways at Lu Yike and said softly:
"I'm sorry~~blame me~~"
Ji Sizheng asked:
"Hunters, how did you find this place? Where are you going?"
Zhu Shun replied:
"Senior, we were going to Langya County, but we got lost. An old man led us here. Then we came here out of curiosity."
Ji Sizheng said:
"That's it, I'm so sorry."
The young man in white sat next to Zhu Shun and asked:
"Brother, I see that your sword skills are familiar, but I wonder who you studied under?"
Zhu Shun replied:
"I don't have a master. An uncle taught me this ten years ago. He gave me a few sword techniques, and then I started practicing on my own."
The young man in white said again:
"Uncle? Is he a bearded man?"
Zhu Shun replied:
"Exactly. Is it possible that my brother knows my uncle?"
The young man in white raised his head and laughed and said:
"Of course I know him. There was a misunderstanding, but he is a very good person."
Zhu Shun was confused: "What misunderstanding?"
The young man in white was Song Yunzhi, so he told Zhu Shun about the past.
