Song Qingshu of Wudang Mountain

Chapter 8
So, the three of them asked their disciples to take Mrs. Liu's body back to Wudang Mountain, and then they rode back to Xiangyang on horseback.

Wudang Mountain is only about a hundred miles away from Xiangyang City. The three of them galloped on their horses for more than an hour. When they approached Xiangyang, they slowed down their horses.

The closer it is to Xiangyang, the more prosperous it looks.Although the people's livelihood was poor under the rule of Yuan and Mongolia, and the people could not eat enough to eat, but Xiangyang was a big city after all, and relatively speaking, it was more prosperous than outside the city.

The three led their horses and entered through the east gate. It was already afternoon, and they were all hungry.

Yu Daiyan said: "Big Brother, Fifth Brother, let's go to the gymnasium to have some food first, and then discuss how to proceed."

Both nodded in agreement, and then the three went straight to the Wudang gymnasium in Xiangyang City.

It is said that people in Wudang Mountain seem to practice Taoism and martial arts, but people always have to eat. To support such a large family business, it is impossible to have no property.

As I said before, Zhang Songxi is in charge of material procurement, and because Yu Daiyan has a bold personality, is eager to do justice, and likes to make friends, Song Yuanqiao asked him to be in charge of the Wudang gymnasiums set up in these cities and counties, responsible for recruiting some wealthy children and teaching some basics. First, there are good seedlings that can be sent to Wudang Mountain for key training, and second, there is extra income to support the daily necessities of Wudang people.

Soon, the three of them came to the door of the Wudang Daoist Hall, and a young man dressed as a Taoist boy greeted him from afar.

"Elder Master, Third Master, Fifth Master, you are here." Daotong looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a flattering look on his face, but when Zhang Cuishan looked at him, he dared to look at him, his eyes were different. You can't avoid it, your eyes are very bright.Although it was a greeting, it gave people a feeling of being neither humble nor overbearing, an unusual temperament of freedom.

Song Yuanqiao asked Yu Daiyan: "Where did you find this kid? Why don't I know him?"

The implication is, I don't know him, how could he know me?
Yu Daiyan laughed: "He found it by himself. Let's not talk about anything else. Brother, you came here once when you opened the business. He didn't come at that time, and the fifth brother didn't come. Guess how he knew it was your second hero." , not the others?"

Zhang Cuishan said: "The only ones who can walk side by side with the third brother are the Seven Heroes of Wudang. Big brother, your face is more mature than the third brother. It's not difficult to guess, but I'm curious, how did you guess me?"

The last sentence was asked to Daotong.

Dao Tong changed into a smiling face, the same smile, but without the flattery before, it was more like the joy of seeing an elder.

"Back to the fifth master, there are two masters above the third master. I once heard the third master say that the first master is a little fat, and the second master is thin, so I know you are the elder master."

Song Yuanqiao touched his slightly protruding belly, and laughed: "I have been busy with chores for the past two years, and I have delayed my practice. Now I am still fat, and I was recognized by a child because of the fat."

Zhang Cuishan asked: "What about me? I am younger than the third brother, but there are four people younger than the third brother."

Daotong replied: "The third master often said that although the fourth master has a good brain, he is not tall enough. Presumably all the nutrients have grown in his brain. So you must not be the fourth master."

Yu Daiyan laughed and said: "Who told his fourth son to rely on his brains to trick me everywhere?"

Daotong continued: "The third master also said that the seventh master is younger than me, but he has a rough face, so you must not be the seventh master."

Zhang Cuishan nodded without interrupting. Song Yuanqiao and Yu Daiyan also listened carefully.

"As for whether you are the Fifth Master or the Sixth Master, I'm actually not sure. But..." Dao Tong pointed to Zhang Cuishan's horse, and a sharp iron tip was exposed from the leather bag on the side of the saddle.

The three of them looked at the saddle in unison, and also found the judge's pen, and immediately burst out laughing.

Yu Daiyan patted Daotong on the shoulder and said loudly: "That's right, it really makes me look good to the third master, and the master will give you a promotion. From now on, you will be in charge of the front door, and you will be in charge of the big and small matters at the front door. Hahaha!"

Daotong's happy face instantly collapsed, and he muttered: "The front door manager is in charge of the front door, and I don't even manage the back door. This official is really too small."

Yu Daiyan raised his leg to pre-kick: "Hurry up and lead the way!"

"Yes" Daotong reluctantly went first, and the three of them followed behind him.

Song Yuanqiao asked Yu Daiyan: "What's the matter with this Daotong?"

Yu Daiyan said as he walked: "He came to the door by himself. He said he wanted to be a manager when he came, and he performed a set of unique skills for me, just like what you saw just now. I thought it was interesting, so I let him be the door boy. , In the end, he insisted on dressing up as a Taoist boy, and said that our Wudang is a true martial arts system, and every Taoist boy is a facade, so it can't be justified, so I named him Qingfeng."

Zhang Cuishan smiled: "With the breeze, can the bright moon be far behind?"

All three of them smiled, remembering that their master always said that there was no bright moon and cool breeze around him, so can they be called monks?So Qingfengmingyue has become a laughing point for everyone.

Qingfeng led the three of them into the gymnasium, and sent the two oncoming apprentices to take the horse away to take care of it, and then walked towards the backyard.

The four of them entered the back hall and sat down, Yu Daiyan asked Qingfeng to get some food for the three of them, and called the manager along the way.

After Qingfeng left, Zhang Cuishan said to Yu Daiyan: "Third brother, I think this kid is clever, you might as well accept him as your apprentice."

Yu Daiyan shook his head and said: "There is already a person on the mountain who has gone crazy, and with this spiritual egg, they will eat me. Moreover, the origin of this Qingfeng is unknown, and I plan to wait until the right time to take him up the mountain."

After he brought Ren Laifeng up the mountain, he went to his village to check it out, and it was true that as Ren Laifeng said, he could match the name, but he never found out the origin of Qingfeng, as if it appeared suddenly, so He is still somewhat wary of Qingfeng, and plans to put it in the gymnasium to observe it for a few years.

"When is the right time?"

Yu Daiyan thought for a while, then suddenly patted his right leg and said, "Whenever my leg breaks, I'll take him up the mountain to serve me. Hahaha!"

Song Yuanqiao smiled and shook his head, feeling that he was a bit too playful as the third younger brother, Wudang Yu Sanruo had a great name, but he always looked like a child who hadn't grown up, loved to be lively and playful.

Soon, Qingfeng brought up the food, and the three of them finished their meal, discussed the next actions, and went back to their rooms to rest, recharge their batteries, and prepare to visit Daluhuachi Mansion at night.

A horse passes through the South Lane, and the bright moon hangs on the west end.

In the huge city of Xiangyang, houses are lined up row upon row. Looking down from the sky, you can see that the closer to the center of the city, the bigger and sparser the houses, and the brighter the lights.

At this moment, under the cover of the night, three black shadows shuttled across the roof.

I saw the three black shadows, fat and thin, different in height, all covered their faces with black cloth, but they were all as light as swallows. Due to the whistling wind brought by the high speed, there is no other sound. Even if you step on broken bricks and tiles, it is like stepping on cotton.

These three people are Song Yuanqiao and others. They are all using Wudang's famous lightness kung fu - Ti Yunzong. This lightness kung fu was created by Zhang Sanfeng. The footwork is multilateral to confuse the opponent, and it is famous for its dexterity, high and low advance and retreat.

The three of them were able to gallop across the undulating roof without being noticed by relying on this skill.

Soon, the three of them came to a huge mansion, which was different from other houses. Not only were the lights brightly lit all around, but there were strands of fire that kept wandering around. It was the night patrol. Torches lit by people.There are also many guards at the main entrance.

However, these soldiers were not a big problem for the three people who were skilled in kung fu. The three of them didn't even stop, and took advantage of the interval between shifts to fly into Dalu Huachi's mansion in a flash.

Now the biggest problem they face is how to find Mrs. Liu's son and daughter-in-law, and then rescue them without revealing their identities.

The three hid behind a rockery, calculating the frequency of patrols.

Yu Daiyan said: "I'll catch a tongue and bring it back."

Both Song Yuanqiao and Zhang Cuishan looked at him: "Be careful!"

Yu Daiyan nodded, peeped out from the rockery, saw no one around, and disappeared in a flash.

Song Yuanqiao was meditating on the spot. On the one hand, he was worried about the safety of his third brother, and on the other hand, he was planning for the worst. He kept asking himself in his heart whether his actions would bring disaster to Wudang.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Yu Daiyan came back.

He hurriedly asked: "How is it?"

Yu Daiyan chuckled: "Hands are here!"

Zhang Cuishan looked behind him and asked, "Where's the tongue?"

Yu Daiyan replied: "The tongue is in my mouth, why, do you want it?"

Song Yuanqiao interrupted him: "Don't be joking, third brother, have you found out where Mrs. Liu's son and daughter-in-law are being held?"

Yu Daiyan said seriously: "Well, it's in the backyard, with the stables, and everyone is locked up there."

Zhang Cuishan hurriedly said: "Then what are you waiting for, quickly lead the way, tongue."

Yu Daiyan was about to refute a few words, but seeing Song Yuanqiao's unkind expression, he didn't dare to speak anymore, he walked out of the rockery first, and jumped onto the roof.

Song Yuanqiao and Zhang Cuishan followed closely behind, and the three walked carefully towards the backyard.

Along the way, he hid and hid, and stopped from time to time to wait for the patrol soldiers to pass by. It took about an incense stick of time before he slowly reached the backyard. Zhang Cuishan smelled a faint stench, like the smell of animal excrement.

He raised his head and sniffed carefully, pointed to a direction and said to Song Yuanqiao and Yu Daiyan: "The horse stable should be there." But the direction they are heading now is quite different.

Yu Daiyan frowned and said, "The maid I captured just pointed in this direction. Could there be a problem ahead?"

Zhang Cuishan said, "Did she lie?"

Yu Daiyan said: "No, people are locked together with the stables, so it shouldn't be a lie. I was choking her at the time, but it is possible to point in the wrong direction. In this case, explain the direction she is pointing, or There are a large number of people who can catch us all..."

"Or there are experts!" Song Yuanqiao continued, "What did you do with that maid?"

Yu Daiyan was taken aback: "I knocked her unconscious."

Zhang Cuishan interjected from the side: "One hundred secrets and one sparse, third brother, if she wakes up, won't we be exposed!"

Yu Daiyan glanced at Zhang Cuishan: "Then I tied her up again!"

Zhang Cuishan chuckled and stopped talking.
