Chu Yu naturally felt baffled and didn't know what the old man meant, so he asked Zhuge Ming what was going on.
Zhuge Ming thought for a while and then said: "It's probably because the thing that person wants you to send is too important, so he is scaring you and forcing you to send it. What exactly is it that he wants you to send? He is so cautious. "
Chu Yu did not hide anything and said frankly: "He asked me to send a sword and a jade pendant to his home." Chu Yu said as he took off the jade pendant hanging around his neck and showed it to Zhuge Ming. Then he went to the room, took out the sword, and put it on the table.
Zhuge Ming looked at the jade pendant carefully, handed it to Chu Yu to hang up, and said: "This is just an ordinary jade pendant, nothing special. It is probably passed down from his family, so he takes it very seriously." After Zhuge Ming finished speaking, , picked up the sword, pulled it out and saw that the sword was crystal clear and sharp, and it was indeed a good sword. The hilt is square-shaped, which is different from other swords.
At this time, someone outside shouted: "Brother, are you at home?" Then an old man came in from the door, about sixty years old, energetic, and he could tell at a glance that he was a martial arts practitioner.
Zhuge Ming saw it and said quickly: "Brother, you are here just in time. Come and sit quickly."
The old man strode over, and Chu Yu and Yun Xia stood up to greet him. Zhuge Ming said, "Brother, let me introduce you to Chu Yu and Xiao Yunxia." He then said to Chu Yu and Chu Yu, "This old man is my sworn brother Zhao Fang."
Chu Yu and Yun Xia quickly bowed and saluted, and said, "Junior has met Senior Zhao."
Zhao Fang said: "You two are welcome, sit down and talk." The four of them sat down around the table and chatted.
Zhuge Ming said to Zhao Fang: "Brother, you are here at the right time. Come and take a look at this sword. Is there anything special about it?"
Zhao Fang took the sword, looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked: "Where does this sword come from?" Chu Yu told the truth.
Zhao Fang pondered for a moment and said, "I think this sword is the Double Phoenix Chaoyang Sword."
"Double Phoenix Chaoyang Sword? Does it have any special origin?" Chu Yu and Yun Xia asked in surprise, and Zhao Fang told them the origin of this sword in detail.
According to legend, when Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu was reviving the Han Dynasty, he obtained a piece of crystal-clear and hard black iron. There was no trace of the knife or axe, so he asked a famous craftsman to use this black iron to carefully forge a sword. In order to commemorate the two queens Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong who helped him achieve great achievements, Emperor Guangwu engraved a red sun on one side of the sword and two flying phoenixes on the other side.
After this sword is cast, it cuts iron like clay and is extremely sharp. Liu Xiu held this sword across the battlefield and took back the Han family's world. After that, the sword was enshrined in the royal family and was never used lightly. However, Emperor Guangwu gave this sword to Ma Yuan when General Fubo was on an expedition against the Jiaozhi Rebellion. Ma Yuan returned to the court in victory, and the sword returned to the royal family as a palace treasure. At the end of the Han Dynasty, when Dong Zhuo rebelled, the sword disappeared.
Yunxia then asked Zhao Fangdao: "Why is the senior so familiar with this matter?"
Zhuge Ming said from the side: "Only he can know clearly. His ancestors are Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the victorious generals of the Three Kingdoms." Zhuge Ming then told Chu Yu and Yun Xia about his and Zhao Fang's family backgrounds.
Zhuge Ming is after Zhuge Wuhou, and Zhao Fang is after Zhao Yun. His great-grandmother was the sister of Ma Chao, the Pingxi general of the Shu Han Dynasty. Ma Chao was also a descendant of Ma Yuan, so he knew the origin of this sword. After the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, the ancestors of Zhuge Ming and Zhao Fang left Chengdu and returned to their hometown in Longzhong together. They no longer served as officials or set foot in the world, and lived the lives of ordinary people. Zhuge Ming relied on the medical skills passed down from his ancestors to cure diseases and save people, recruit many disciples, and benefit the country. Zhao Fangze was excellent in martial arts, taught others how to practice martial arts, and protected his neighbors.
When Chu Yu and Yun Xia heard that they were the descendants of Zhuge Wuhou and Zhao Zhilong, they quickly stood up and bowed down, saying, "I never expected to meet the descendants of Zhuge Wuhou and Changsheng General, who are famous throughout the ages. The younger generation are ignorant and do not know Mount Tai."
Zhuge Ming and Zhao Fang helped the two of them up and said, "There is no need to be so polite. That is the achievement of our ancestors, we are just ordinary people."
The four of them sat down to talk again. Zhao Fang heard Chu Yu talk about his experience and gave him a pulse. After taking a pulse, Zhao Fang asked, "Have you ever eaten anything special before?"
Chu Yu shook his head and said, "It's nothing special. Once I was chasing a pheasant in the mountains. When I got deep into Xuefeng Mountain, I felt unbearably thirsty. I happened to see a wild monkey eating some fruit, so I picked it too. I ate a few and they felt very sweet. Later, when the season came, I often picked them and ate them."
Zhuge Ming asked: "What kind of fruit is that?"
Chu Yu thought for a while and said: "The fruit is very big, bright red in color, thin in skin and sweet in flesh, and melts in your mouth. After eating it, I feel more energetic and refreshed."
Zhuge Ming and Zhao Fang looked at each other and said, "I didn't expect such a thing to exist."
Chu Yu asked in surprise: "Can't you eat this fruit?"
Zhao Fang smiled and said: "You are lucky. You can eat this kind of fruit. It is your creation. This fruit is called flame fruit. Eating it can enhance the internal strength. We have only read about it in books. , but I have never seen it before and thought it was just a legend. No wonder I just took your pulse and thought you had hundreds of years of skill. It must be that the old man has passed on his power to you for decades, and you have been eating this flame all year round. The result is that your inner strength has greatly increased. It’s just that you haven’t practiced martial arts, so your strength can’t be used. The palm you injured Miss Yunxia was purely accidental. You didn’t know how to use your inner strength, otherwise she would have died at that time.”
Chu Yu was shocked and asked, "What should we do? It would be bad if we hurt someone again in the future."
Zhao Fang said: "You haven't practiced martial arts, so naturally you can't control your internal power freely. Plus the skill that the old man passed on to you, you can't control it even more. In the past, your own internal power alone was only about forty years old at most. It's a big deal. Now that you have a hundred years of skill, if you strike with all your strength, you will naturally injure or kill someone. But don't panic. I see that you are honest and honest, so I will teach you some breathing and breathing skills. After you master it, , you can naturally send and receive it freely. But in the future, you cannot rely on your strong internal strength to bully the kind and weak."
Chu Yu was so happy that he quickly got up and fell to the ground to worship, saying: "Thank you Master, please accept me as your disciple." In fact, after the conversation just now and Zhuge Ming's introduction, Zhao Fang saw that Chu Yu had very good qualifications, so he originally intended to accept him as his disciple. , it’s just that I can’t say it out loud.
Seeing this, Zhuge Ming said to Zhao Fang: "This young man is honest, honest, and kind-hearted. I might as well accept him."
At this time, Yunxia also knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Master, please accept this little girl as your disciple."
Zhao Fang said, "Girl, your martial arts skills are not weak. Also, are you not afraid of being scolded by your master?"
Yun Xia immediately said: "My kung fu is inherited from my family and is really limited. If Chu Yu hadn't taken action a few days ago, I would have died in the hands of bandits."
Zhuge Ming said from the side: "I think they are very sincere. After getting along with each other for these few days, I also know that they are very good characters. Why don't you accept them as disciples, and I will also teach them some medical skills and Qimen Bagua. They The two of them can be regarded as talents we cultivated together."
Chu Yu and Yun Xia were naturally overjoyed, turned around hurriedly, and bowed to Zhuge Ming. Zhao Fang said: "That's fine. We are both nephews and nephews with average qualifications. Meeting you today is considered fate. From now on, you will call Brother Zhuge the first master and me the second master." Chu Yu and Yun Xia gave the two elders respectively Bow nine times in a row.
Zhao Fang asked the two of them to get up and asked, "Which one of you is older?"
Chu Yu first said: "I am twenty years old this year."
Yun Xia continued: "Then he is senior brother, I am two years younger than him."
Zhao Fang nodded and said, "Come and take a look at this Chaoyang Sword."
Zhao Fang picked up the sword, straightened it, and said, "Look, the right side of the sword is engraved with a radiant red sun, and the left side is engraved with two golden phoenixes with spread wings."
The two saw that it was indeed the case. Even after hundreds of years, the color had not faded. The red sun was bright and bright, the phoenix was golden, but the sword was cold and cold. Zhao Fang stood up and waved the Chaoyang Sword in the courtyard, but saw the cold air and red and yellow lights interlacing at the same time.
After Zhao Fang put away the sword, he grabbed half of the sword hilt with both hands and tried to split it into two halves, but failed. He then said to the three of them: "According to the rumors from our ancestors, this sword can be separated into two swords, but it requires strong internal strength. I can't do it. Yu'er has great opportunities. I can only see whether you can do it in the future."
Chu Yu said: "Master can't do it, and I certainly can't do it either. Besides, this sword belongs to someone else and it needs to be sent back, so let's not consider it."
Zhuge Ming asked: "That man deceived you, and you still plan to fulfill his wish?"
Chu Yu said without hesitation: "Although he lied to me, it did no harm to me. On the contrary, he allowed me to meet two masters. I have to thank him. Besides, since I promised him, I should abide by my promise." .”
Zhuge Ming said generously: "A boy can be taught, that's right. It seems that we did not recruit the wrong disciple."
Since then, Chu Yu and Yun Xia have followed their two masters to practice hard, learn medical skills, and delve into the Qimen Bagua. After more than a month, Yunxia has recovered and her skills have improved. Chu Yu also integrated the internal power imparted by the old man into his own skills and was able to use it freely. The swordsmanship was carefully taught by Master Zhao Fang. The thirty-six-step "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" swordsmanship was a fusion and refinement of the Zhao family's and Ma's family's marksmanship.
One day, Zhao Fang said to Chu Yu: "Disciple, although you want to return the Chaoyang Sword, there is a set of sword techniques that can be used in conjunction with the Chaoyang Sword. I think it is best to pass it on to you as well, but you must not Teach it to others. This set of swordsmanship is extremely powerful. If it is taught to someone other than a human being, there will be endless troubles." Chu Yu naturally kept it in mind.
Zhao Fang said to Chu Yu: "This set of sword techniques only has five moves: the first move is called Sunshine Rain and Dew, which cuts straight from top to bottom. The second move is called Cutting through thorns, which is a straight thrust with a sword. The third move is called sweeping in all directions, It is to sweep all around. The fourth move is to spread the wings and fly, and dance the sword to protect the whole body. The fifth move is called dragon and phoenix to present auspiciousness, which is the combination of two swords, one sword to attack and one to defend." After Zhao Fang finished speaking, he demonstrated them one by one, letting Chu Yu Trial.
Chu Yu took the sword in his hand, slashed out the Chaoyang Sword, used his internal strength, and used the first move "Sunshine Rain and Dew". However, he felt that the sword energy surged out. Within a few feet, sand and dust rose everywhere on the ground, and a tree a few feet away The tree split into two parts. Chu Yu was horrified. He didn't expect the sword to be so powerful.
Zhao Fang was also shocked and said: "Disciple, your internal strength is profound. Do not use these moves lightly to avoid accidentally injuring others. For ordinary martial arts masters, your sword technique of Hundred Birds Chao Feng is enough to deal with them."
Chu Yu said: "Master, don't worry, my disciple will keep this in mind and will never abuse it." Chu Yu gathered her strength and practiced the five moves of the rising sun.
A few days later, Chu Yu practiced Chaoyang's five moves to a proficient level and could perform them freely. At the same time, Zhao Fang passed on the family's Thunder Fist and Fengyun Palm to Chu Yu and Yun Xia. At the same time, the two of them learned a lot of strange Bagua methods and medical techniques from Zhuge Ming.
More than a month passed like this, and Yunxia said she wanted to rush to the capital. Chu Yu also thought that the old man's relics should be given to his family as soon as possible. The two reported it to their two masters, and Zhuge Ming and Zhao Fang agreed when they saw that the two had already begun to master martial arts.
Chu Yu said: "After the disciple has finished delivering the relics, he will come back and continue to serve the master." Chu Yu has been living alone in the mountains since his grandfather died, feeling extremely lonely. During more than two months in Longzhong, he
The warm time spent with the two masters, who were amiable and instructive, made him feel the warmth of family again. Deep down in his heart, he regarded Longzhong as his home. Zhuge Ming and Zhao Fang naturally understood in their hearts.
Zhao Fangfang said to Yunxia: "Although Yu'er is older than you, he has never been involved in the world. You still need to pay more attention to everything to avoid being plotted by others. Yu'er, you should listen to your junior sister's opinions outside and don't act blindly. ." Chu Yu and Yun Xia naturally had no objections and agreed.
Zhao Fang took out a sword and handed it to Chu Yu, saying: "Since you want to return the Chaoyang Sword to others, Master will give you another sword. Although this green-bar sword is not as good as the Chaoyang Sword, it is still extremely sharp. Iron is as sharp as clay. This is what our ancestor Zi Longgong captured from Cao Cao's generals at Changbanpo. It's of no use to me now. You can use it for self-defense." Chu Yu took the sword and thanked him. Master.
Zhuge Ming and Zhao Fang sent the two people to the entrance of the village and did not return until they disappeared. Chu Yu and Yun Xia let go of the reins and galloped away. The two of them traveled both ways and arrived at Luoyang City within a few days.
Yunxia then said to Chu Yu: "Brother, we have arrived in the capital. Let's go find my grandfather."
Chu Yu shook his head and said: "I'd better go and send the things back to them first. If this matter is settled as soon as possible, I can go back to Longzhong."
Yunxia murmured: "Aren't you coming to see me?"
After getting along for this period of time, Chu Yu actually fell in love with this beautiful and gentle junior sister. However, facing Yunxia's beautiful brilliance, Chu Yu could not help but feel a little ashamed of herself and did not dare to think anything wrong.
Chu Yu heard that Yun Xia was reluctant to give up, and was very happy, and said quickly: "No way, I'm just afraid that my country brother will embarrass you. If you don't mind, I will go find you after delivering the things, okay ?"
Yun Xia glanced at Chu Yu and said coquettishly: "You are my senior brother, why are you saying these unscrupulous things? No one will despise you. After you are done, come to the Yang Mansion in the west of the city to find me." Chu Yu quickly agreed, and the two walked separately.
As Chu Yu walked, he asked about Wanjia Village at the foot of Wan'an Mountain, and soon found Wanjia Village.
