Chapter 198, Blood Sword Tale (8)

The river is surging, people are in the middle of the thunder, sometimes the hurricane is violent, and sometimes it is as calm as a mirror.People don't know that there are battles in the backyard, there are earthquakes in the world, but they are used to it, and then they drink and talk.If you are a person from the Jianghu, it will be a matter of the Jianghu.Don't be surprised by the ever-changing, life and death, profit first.This is the contempt of the rivers and lakes, moving thousands of miles for everything.The sun is shining brightly. Here, it is not like Qianchuan in the north of the mountain, but it has a different environment.In the lush mountains and forests, the sound of birds can be heard, and the howling of beasts is shocking.After everyone greedily drank a few glasses of wine, they saw the person sitting in the wooden wheeled cart slowly moving forward, followed by back and forth.

The third son, Wei Xun, looked around and saw the ghost-masked man and his party. His small shop was suddenly empty, and the desolate place changed in a blink of an eye.Inside and out, it became silent.Li Fei'an and the two entered the back room, and saw the scarred face sitting quietly in the corner, meditating.The third son Wei Xun said, "Who is your Excellency? Where is that ghost-masked man?"

The scarred face showed yellow teeth, and the face was full of wrinkles. On the thin and dry face, after a smile, the skin loosened and the flesh shrank.Li Fei'an looked at the dirty smile and said, "Say it! Otherwise, it's not easy for us to talk."

Scarface didn't speak, and sat with a smile on his face. The two of them couldn't interrogate, so they followed out of the yard.

Walking slowly south along the Jialing River, the scenery along the way can be said to be beautiful, with jagged peaks and various trees adding a lot of beauty to the mountains.Nothing is happening here, and this place is not an ordinary place, and its history goes back a long way.During the Shu Han period, Zhuge Kongming passed by this place many times when he came out of Qishan Mountain six times. A hundred miles forward is Jiange, and there are many legends about this place.A journey of a thousand miles is what you do, and the road must be under your feet.

The twilight is deep, and another night is coming, the setting sun and sunset have gone, the mountains and forests are whistling, and the evening wind is bleak, there is no village before, and the beasts in the wild return home.Those who are on the road undoubtedly have a lot of distress, and they have nowhere to live but lament.Cross the hills and take the narrow road.Undoubtedly, the sky should be used as a quilt, and the earth should be used as a bed.Li Fei'an and Li Fei'an, who had been on the road for a day, were thinking about Zuoyue who was rushing away ahead. Even though the twilight ahead was deep, they couldn't rest for a moment, and moved forward, regardless of the roughness ahead.However, walking through a mountain depression, there is a little bit of light in front of you. If you look closely, there is a small village with more than a dozen households in front of you.The village is not big, and the scattered people live far away.The twilight is not too thick, it can be seen faintly, and the sound of chickens barking and dogs barking can be heard. It is a good place, which can be seen ahead.The two hurried on the road, entered the village, and lived in a wide area, high and low, and the place where they lived was also interesting.Some people are surrounded by mountains and rivers, some are in potholes, and some are on high platforms and mounds.Looking carefully, this place is also crowded with people. Knowing this, it must be that people from all walks of life have already come to station first.But what is puzzling is that everyone is only the third son Wei Xun who is following on the wooden wheeled cart, and no one tries to snatch it.In any case, at this time, choose a place to rest.In the barren mountains and wild mountains, everyone has been looking forward to this mountain village for a long time.The people staying in the cottages seem to be following the rules, but the sound of ridicule is getting higher and higher, and it can't stop.The third son Wei Xun and the two of them are disguised as others, so naturally they have no fear at all.

Walking on a village road, seeing only one family, beside the slowly pouring stream, the two of them became depressed.But the strange thing is that the family in Xiaoxishui can be described as a place of elegance and beauty, with splendid articles.Go to the fenced yard.Looking at the three thatched grasses, there is the sound of children reading.On the door frame of the humble room, there are a few hastily written poems, which are even more gorgeous articles, melodious through the ages.There is a pair of them, which makes people see that the master is an extraordinary person.His words said: "Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Jiangshan Ming, the Spring and Autumn, Qin and Han Dynasties have passed a thousand years."

At this time, it was heard from the small room in the middle: "The distinguished guests outside, since they come, please let them rest."

The third son Wei Xun and Li Fei'an entered the room and saw a white-haired old man sitting in front of a rough table. There was a bed in the room with only a straw mat on it, and on the desk were simple four treasures of the study, rice paper paint .There are some book shelves in the corners of the room. The strange thing is that there are no books in the bookshelves. The old man looks kind-hearted and smiling, like a spring breeze blowing through thousands of mountains and rivers, which makes people feel warm.The old man was wearing a red robe with a round collar. He seemed to be in high spirits, like a generation of immortals.As soon as the old man looked at Li Fei'an, he got up immediately, stepped forward and saluted and said: "This old man is really rude, I didn't know that the girl came here."

The third son Wei Xun was astonished, such an expert is here to salute as a junior, but this old man was able to see the opportunity and salute in advance.

The third son Wei Xun bowed his hands and asked, "Why did you salute me, sir?"

Li Fian, who was on the side, was also very surprised when she smiled, and stood dumbfounded.

The old man slowly raised his head and said: "Although the two of you did not show your true colors, when the old man arrived, he realized that the two of you were not ordinary people. You must be rich and honorable people. You can say that they are the sons of dragons and phoenixes. My dear son, this old man is just a grassroots man, seeing two distinguished guests here, how could he not come to salute."

The third young master lifted off his disguise mask and said with a slight smile: "Sir, you are perceptive, observant of subtleties, and have the talent of a prophet. It seems that we should not be rude. This Wei Xun is the son of the late Lord Wei. This is the little princess of today." , named Li Fian."

Then, Li Fian also took off the disguise mask.After seeing Li Fian, the old man saluted again, this time kneeling directly on the ground.

Li Fei'an took a look, leaned the sword in his hand against the door frame, immediately supported the old man, and said: "Sir, this grand ceremony twice, this princess really can't stand it, please get up quickly."

The old man stood up slowly and said: "Your Highness doesn't know something. Before this old man was the Queen's retainer. After the Queen passed away, this old man came here. Seeing Your Highness is like seeing your mother."

Li Fei'an smiled slightly and said: "It turns out that it is the old master. The emperor once said that the master is the teacher of my mother's empress. Have you ever made suggestions for the country? Why did you come to this mountain forest?"

"Your Highness, let me tell you?" the old man said.

Li Fian said: "Then please tell me, sir."

The old man said: "Back then, the empress died of illness. I regretted it, and I couldn't afford it. The empress was a fairy who came down to earth for the country. She was a generation of heroines who commanded the harem. She was really a mother. But the sky is jealous of her beauty. A generation of wonderful women passed away, and the whole country was sad. The old man was heartbroken to see his mother as his own daughter. His majesty the emperor saw that the old man was overwhelmed with sorrow, so he allowed him to return to his hometown to recuperate. .”

Upon hearing this, Li Fei'an said: "It turns out that this is the home of the gentleman. The emperor is not a gift of gold and silver to the gentleman. Why do you live in such a poor life?"

"Princess, although the old man is willing to be a commoner, but the empress is virtuous and virtuous, and I deeply remember the words of the empress. The world is worried about life, and the world is worried about death. The whole country is fighting against the north, and the people of the world are also in poverty. The old man is a subject, and he has shown his talents with the grace of his mother. Why didn't the old man do his best for the country. The old man didn't accept the gold and silver." The old man said in a loud voice.

The sound of reading outside suddenly stopped.Li Fei'an nodded and said: "Sir, I am convinced by this princess. The reason for our prosperity is that there is such a loyal person in Datang Youpi."

The third son Wei Xun said with a smile: "I think you are all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, not only with excellent writing skills, but also a first-class master. Otherwise, how can you frighten those martial arts masters outside?"

The old man said with a "haha" smile: "That's right, the old man was also a person who walked the rivers and lakes in his early years. When he was young, it was a troubled time. The princes of all walks of life fought against each other. The old man practiced martial arts when he had to. If the empress did not appreciate it, the old man would not be able to get it if he was talented. Fulfill your wish. People in the martial arts world, no matter how high their martial arts are, cannot surpass the current sage. Today's sage, who makes the world submit, makes the people live and work in peace and contentment, and makes the world free from the disaster of war. He is the number one master in today's martial arts. In front of the Holy Majesty, there is only shame, and it is better to return to the mountains. Then there is the empress, when she was young, she recognized heroes with her eyes, recruited talents from all over the world for her husband, won the divine sword Jinfeng, and was a true martial arts master, but this The strange woman follows the rules and is a model for women in the world. Look at the two today, they are the successors of An Ding, the guardians of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and there are successors."

The third son Wei Xun was slightly shocked when he heard this, and looked at Li Fei'an who was standing aside, grinning slightly.

What the old man said made the third young master Mao Sai suddenly realize that he had another level of understanding about the emperor's bestowal of marriage, and that he had some wisdom in his mind about the affairs of the world.An old man living in the mountains, in his twilight years, also has such a sense of loyalty, he is a talented person in the world, and the foundation of rivers and mountains.As a chivalrous man, in troubled times, he pleads for the world and the people.In the prosperous age, we will keep the stability of the future, and protect the world and the people.What the old man said is very complicated, but he can't say enough about his heart, and he can't count his family, country and world.The third son Wei Xun felt ashamed, his face flushed, he didn't dare to look at the old man and Li Fei'an again.

The night was deep, and the bright moonlight shone in the fenced courtyard, and the stream in front of the door was gurgling, echoing crisply.The third son, Wei Xun, was sitting by the stream, looking thoughtful.

Li Fei'an walked behind the third young master and said, "Why are you a little melancholy?"

The third son Wei Xun sighed and said: "I never thought that there would be such an expert in the deep mountains of Sichuan and Shu. It seems that I only knew something that I had been wondering for a long time. It is so stupid."

Li Fian sat beside her and asked, "What is it?"

The third son Wei Xun got up and said with a smile on his face: "Because of many doubts, I have no family, country and world in my heart, so I don't know. Tonight, the words of this high-ranking man in the mountains really make me ashamed. If it is family, country and world, then The princess and I are of course inseparable, if it is a petty righteousness, then we are either friends or enemies."
