The Jianghu of Sword and Dao

Chapter 9 Juxian Inn
The three of them sat in the car, gathered around the small copper stove inlaid with exquisite patterns to make a fire, and there was a small jar of wine on the stove.The wind and snow outside the window are still howling.

But at the moment all they could hear was the crackling of small charcoals in the stove.

Li Hanye picked up the jar of hot wine, poured a glass and handed it to Wang Musheng.

"Mu Sheng."

He picked up the wine and just took a sip.

"Little brother, what's your name?" Wang Musheng asked, wiping the drink from the corner of his mouth.

"Senior, my surname is Lu, and my name is Qingfeng." He just replied lightly.

Li Hanye saw that his mind was not on this side, so he smiled and said to him: "You look so dull, is it because you stay in the mountains all year round?"

Hearing this question, the young man immediately became engrossed, "I'm not very lonely in the mountains, at least that's how I feel."

"Maybe it's because I haven't been exposed to other things, but I have been in Changbai Mountain all year round." He continued.

"But your master said that you are very interested in Jianghu." Li Hanye also handed him a glass of wine while speaking.

The way he received the wine was calm and natural.

Then came a simple sentence, "Yes, I really want to go to Jianghu to have a look."

Then, he also took a big sip. He looked good when he received the wine, but he didn't seem to be good at drinking, just one sip made him blush and crumbling.

Li Hanye and Wang Musheng saw the boy's mind, he was not lonely.It's just that he has always hidden his loneliness somewhere in his heart.

"My name is Li Hanye, and his name is Wang Musheng. I told you our names just to let you know that from now on, you don't have to worry about being alone in your heart like before. There are many places in the rivers and lakes for you to display, and you will live a very happy life." Happy, maybe sad."

Li Hanye was sitting on the far left, with his right leg resting on the cushion.In such a relaxed and leisurely state, it is hard to believe that such a remark will be made.

Seeing that he could say this, Wang Musheng hoped from the bottom of his heart that this young man would go on in the world well in the future, since he had already chosen this path.

"What you have to do now is to recuperate your body and mind. Now that you have taken this step, you should accept it slowly. This is what you have been looking forward to, isn't it?"

At this moment, Lu Qingfeng's face was already a little drunk.

"Seniors, why don't I miss my master? Don't I miss those lonely snow peaks, don't I miss the incomplete bamboo sword in my hand every day? And everything about Changbai Mountain."

"I thought that I only belonged there all my life, but now it seems that those things I have always need to be discarded. I only hope that the place I am looking forward to can bring me what I want." He continued.

"Not all visions are beautiful. You have to understand that you must be prepared to be a good person in the Jianghu." Li Hanye took another sip of wine, but judging by the young man's appearance, it seemed that he could not drink any more.

"Qing Feng is very lucky to have two seniors who are willing to give advice."

"I have an apprentice, he is younger than you, from the day I started teaching him how to practice swords, I hoped that he could find his own way in the rivers and lakes, a smooth road, even if he was just an unknown person in the rivers and lakes .”

Everyone knows that Li Hanye is an arrogant person, he is the sword god in the Jianghu, but what he really hopes for his apprentice in his heart is to be able to walk slowly and steadily in this world.

He has experienced many storms in the rivers and lakes. He was the one who broke his way through the eye of the storm of grievances, once.

"Let's rest, we will continue our journey tomorrow morning." Wang Musheng looked at the serious Li Hanye in front of him, but at the moment he couldn't say anything in his heart.

Wang Musheng, he used to be the same person as Li Hanye, who was driven by grievances.

Perhaps it was because the young man was so overwhelmed by alcohol that he fell asleep soundly within a few minutes.

"Mu Sheng, what did you long for and miss?"

"The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword."

Li Hanye smiled for a while, then went back to sleep.

After an unknown number of days, they arrived at Dancheng.

"This was once Zhao's country, Qingfeng, have you heard of it?" Wang Musheng said to Lu Qingfeng in the car while driving the horse.

"I read in the book that across the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, he was one of the most powerful princes at that time, but was annexed one by one by the Great Qin in the end." Lu Qingfeng said.

"This is the place where Dancheng fought back then, but it doesn't matter now, we have already stepped into the Central Plains." After speaking, Li Hanye sat in the car and stretched.

"I heard my master tell me that the Central Plains is vast and rich in resources, and martial arts people seem to like it here. Is this the Central Plains martial arts?" Lu Qingfeng asked.

Li Hanye heard the Central Plains Wulin, and said in a slow tone: "The Central Plains Wulin has a lot of right and wrong, and of course it also has a lot of fun. Everyone who practices martial arts is here."

"Han Ye, why don't we find an inn to rest our feet." Wang Musheng said into the car.

"Hey, that's fine. Sitting in this carriage every day makes it difficult to lie down and sleep well. Maybe I haven't met people from the rivers and lakes here for a long time."

"Senior Li, what do you mean by meeting people from the Jianghu here?" Lu Qingfeng was very puzzled at this moment, not knowing what kind of method they were talking about.

Li Hanye laughed loudly after hearing this, "Where there is a road under your feet, there are rivers and lakes. There are thousands of martial arts practitioners in this world, and you will always meet some acquaintances or people with predestined relationship. It is inevitable to deal with them."

"I see!"

It turns out that they will, it's as simple as dealing with each other.

Suddenly, Wang Musheng made a "wow", and the whole carriage stopped instantly. "Han Ye! There is also Juxian Inn here."

"Oh? Wouldn't that be more convenient?" Li Hanye said.

Hearing the words Juxian Inn, Lu Qingfeng looked puzzled again, "Senior, is there any difference between this Juxian Inn and those ordinary inns?"

"Yes, this Juxian Inn was founded by a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River."

"His name is Chen Xiang. In the early years, he made a fortune from the horse dealer business, but it is not so easy to be the owner of a horse dealer. In addition to the swords and weapons that people in the martial arts carry with them, the most important thing to walk in the rivers and lakes is the horse."

"So a large part of Chen Xiang's business is done to those Jianghu people and various sects, but he himself does not know martial arts. You must know that it is extremely difficult for people who do not know martial arts to deal with people from Jianghu, and The rivers and lakes are full of beatings and killings, plus they are linked to money, and if you are not careful, you may be decapitated at any time, and you will inevitably be murdered by villains who are greedy for money."

Li Hanye stroked each stroke in the car, and Lu Qingfeng explained them one by one in a slow manner.

"Then what happened to him?" Lu Qingfeng asked immediately.

"Then Chen Xiang is also a sensible person. He knows that what people in the Jianghu value most is that kindness and that heroism. So he makes friends with all kinds of people in the Jianghu. He has a lot of money, so he has to make a deal. It's just a matter of time."

"The longer the time, the more and more people in the world he made friends with, and he hired many people with good martial arts to work under him, which can be regarded as helping those who have no money to walk in the world. With those people Naturally, the business of helping him became bigger and bigger, so that the underworld robbers didn't dare to make things difficult for him. Speaking of which, Wang Musheng and I can be regarded as his old acquaintances."

"Later, Chen Xiang opened Juxian Inns in many places in the Central Plains in order to thank those people from the world who helped him. There is an atmosphere not found in other places, and these people also give Chen Xiang a lot of face, and they all think that he is an extremely heroic person. Therefore, the places with Juxian Inn are the places where people in the martial arts often go." Li Hanye said again.

The carriage stopped suddenly at this moment, Li Hanye lifted the curtains, and above his head were four large characters "Juxian Inn".
