Heroes in the Troubled Times

Furthermore, at this time, when "Murong Tianshui" looked at him, he couldn't help but shiver. Both of his hands were already covered in cold sweat. This person had long hair and was wearing a black cape. He wore a sword on his waist and was wearing a black robe. Judging from his age, he should only be around twenty years old. What an awe-inspiring and murderous young warrior!

Who do you think this young warrior in black is? Why did Third Young Master Ye Wuhai, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly become scared when he saw him, and break out in a cold sweat? Perhaps, this kind of "stormy and dense rain" mentality was best known to Third Young Master Ye Wuhai — the black clad warrior who had suddenly appeared was one of the "Four Great Evildoers", the black clothed swordsman whom he had heard about on the ninth day of the sixth month at the top of great geese pagoda. At that time, Ye Wuhai had already felt that this person's body and face were extremely familiar, as if he had definitely met them somewhere before. In the midst of his hallucination, he thought of the masked assassin that appeared in the Evil Tiger Mountain forest. Could he be the Qi Dan killer, Aliye Ku'er? Who would have thought that he would arrive uninvited at the end of June! What was he doing here today? Could it be that he was following him here to kill him? While Ye Wuhai was daydreaming, Master Fa Cheng said to the black clad warrior with a smile on his face:

"Oh! Let me introduce you! " Master Fa Sen stood up as he spoke. Thus, Third Young Master Ye Wuhai stood up as well.

Hearing Master Dazhi's words, Third Young Master Ye Wuhai felt as if an ear-piercing name was rolling and rolling in his mind — — Aliye Ku'er! Yale! The murderer who had committed such a heinous crime was right in front of him! It was the black-clothed swordsman in front of him! The black-robed masked killer that had appeared in the tiger forest should also be him! He really wanted to step forward and take this thief's life with a single palm of his hand! However, he quickly dismissed the idea of taking the risk. Because at this moment, he suddenly recalled Daoist Jing Mei's warning, "Do not use martial arts falsely, otherwise, your life will be in danger. You must learn to endure! "Patience!..." On the Dao, it was "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge". How could he "shake the grass and alert the snake"? Now we have to be patient, we have to temporarily "with the wolf dance", to be a hidden enemy in the side of a spy!

Therefore, Ye Wuhai forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart, and only used his sharp eyes to clearly remember Aliye Ku'er's face, and planned to wait for an opportunity to capture him in the future! Since Aliye Ku'er was the senior's disciple, could it be that he was also a spy for Wu Lin? Could he be among the "Four Great Evildoers" plotted by the great geese pagoda? At this point, Ye Wuhai did not dare to think any further. But does Grandmaster Dharma know anything about him? If Mo Wuji did not know his background, his so-called 'life and death spy' would be exposed by them, causing his life to be in danger! He had to be on his guard against these treacherous people.

Furthermore, after hearing Grandmaster Wu Shen's introduction, Aliye Ku'er decided to keep his treasured sword, and his heart, that was filled with caution, retreated. However, how could he know that the other party was also scheming against him! Furthermore, Aliye Ku'er had no way of knowing that this Junior Brother named "Murong Tianshui" was actually someone who would definitely die after being pursued by him and the "Swallow Mountain Wave Demon". He had thought that the "flying guest" at the top of great geese pagoda who had overheard their secret conversation was either the "Flying Divine Dragon" Ye Jinfeng or the "Emei flyer" Lu Wenfei, but he had never thought that the "poke" they were after was already "far in the horizon, so close!" Therefore, had already given up on the idea and cupped his fists as he bowed: "Junior brother, please forgive me, I gave you a fright."

"Senior Brother, no need to be so polite!" Ye Wuhai said calmly, "I only thought that you suddenly came because you were an uninvited person who wanted to assassinate me and Master!"

"Ha!" Ha! "Ha!" Master Fa Sen couldn't help but laugh when he heard the sarcasm in his disciple's words. Even Aliye Ku'er started to laugh arrogantly at himself. Because in his heart, it was as if he could assassinate a person from the martial arts world at will. Until now, Aliye Ku'er still felt that it was a great honor to be proud and complacent.

Just then, Aliye Ku'er stopped smiling and said: "Master! Although he is my junior apprentice-brother, when we met for the first time, we didn't know what our foundations were. So, I would like to spar with Junior Murong. Master, what do you think? "

After Master Fa Sen heard this, he looked at Murong Tianshui, then turned to Aliye Ku'er and said: "Your Junior Brother Murong is going to take the Beijing Grand Examination tomorrow, and today he is going to come visit us to study. I think you should wait for your Junior Brother to take the test first!"

"Oh! Since this was the case, Junior didn't need to be distracted. It's better if you prepare early for your Beijing exams. "

Hearing Aliye Ku'er's words, Third Young Master Ye Wuhai could not help but dispel the idea of fighting with him. He wanted to use this chance to understand his opponent's martial arts, but when he thought of Daoist Jing Mei's warning, the anger in his heart dissipated by a large half, not to mention that Aliye Ku'er did not want to compete anymore, why would he try to show off? Therefore, Ye Wuhai took the opportunity to bid farewell to Grandmaster Wu Sen and Aliye Ku'er: "Alright! She would follow her senior apprentice brother's wishes. However, I still have to go to the 'Twelve Classics', so I can't stay here for long. And so, I shall bid farewell to Master and Senior Brother! "

"Alright! "Please …" After Aliye Ku'er finished speaking, the third young master Ye Wuhai, accompanied by Master Fa Sen and his disciple walked out of the Daxing Good Temple gate.

After the "three heroes of Shu", "Three Swords of Tianshan", and "five dainties of Lushan" saw the miserable state of Jing Prefecture, they were filled with grief. However, things had already gotten to this point, the loss in Jing Prefecture City had already been decided, so the eleven of them decided to return to Ba Shu Dong and say their farewells: Firstly, to catch up with the men and horses who were escorting Vengeance General's wife, Ye Jiazhen, and secondly, to meet the three brothers, Ye Jinfeng and the others who had been separated for many days. With this plan in hand, they galloped towards the west of Jing Prefecture City.

He had already passed by the Qujiang Pool in the southeast corner of the capital city and the mausoleum of Emperor Liu Wen of the West Han Dynasty, and had gone straight for the Shaoling Temple, which appeared after Emperor Xu of the Han Dynasty and the Xuan Zang Pagoda.

When touching, it gives birth to feelings. He was deeply moved by the scenery. Cao Lvhuang looked at Shaolin who was on top of the mound in the distance and couldn't help but to think of the most famous realist poet of the previous dynasty, Du Fu Du Zimei. This old man Du, who was praised as a "sage of poetry" by his descendants, had once named himself Shaoling Cloth, Wild Ladies, Wildman, and DuLingBu Yi, Wild Ladies, Wild Ladies and Wild Ladies. From this, it was not hard to see that Mr. Du Fu's reputation did not reproduce his mindset of living and dying together with the territories under the heavens and the commoners in cloth clothing. However, the current Mr. Cao Lvhuang was also extremely worried. He wanted to head south to Jingzhou, but the journey was long and difficult to come across in a few days, so why didn't this make his heart burn with anxiety? Could the Jingzhou City be defended? What about the civilians and the soldiers in the city? Don't tell me the city is in ruins and everyone is dead! This string of worries kept revolving around Cao Lvhuang's mental state from time to time. The world was bleak and chaotic, and he could not help but feel that he was an old and weak man, unable to prevent this brutal war and the poisoning of martial arts! Cough! In retrospect, it was old Mr Du who warned the world: "Arrows are strong, arrows are long. Shoot the enemy first, capture the thief first, capture the king. Killing people was also limited, and the other countries had their own territory. If you can control and invade the mausoleum, how can you inflict more injuries and injuries? " These were indeed words of advice to alert the world of its sorrows. However, if one were to count them all, how many emperors and generals would be able to accomplish this?

Cao Lvhuang thought as he walked forward. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the temple of Tzu En, the birthplace of the Buddhist religion of grace.

At this time, Cao Lvhuang was staring at the high and low sariras in the temple. Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses came from ahead …

As a result, the Cao Lvhuang turned his head to look, only to see a team of horses in front of him had stopped. The leader of the group turned his head and ordered, "Stop! Soldiers! It is not far from the capital now, but we must not enter the capital at once. So let's temporarily rest inside the temple! "

With such an order, the group of soldiers dismounted one after the other. Under the lead of the general, they walked towards the courtyard of the Ci'en Temple. Seeing that all of them were about to enter the temple, Cao Lvhuang could not help but stop the last soldier and asked: "Little brother, may I ask, where did you come from? Who is your general? "

The soldier glanced at the old man in front of him and answered without hiding anything, "Our general is Guizhou County Governor Li Junli. We were originally subordinates of the thorny history in Jing Prefecture, so we didn't want to be chased to this point by the rebel Lin Keduo. However, I also heard that Jingzhou City has been captured by Lin Keduo's army, and the situation inside the city is even more tragic. "

"Ah!" What did you say?! Jing Prefecture has been captured by the rebel army?! " Cao Lvhuang could not believe his ears. He could not believe that the Jing Prefecture City, which was guarded by the Vengeance Great General, would be breached by the Thieves. Furthermore, he had once heard that when Yang Shou met General Lin Keduo, what ability did he have to actually attack and destroy the city that the Great General Chou was guarding? Could it be that General Chou was not in the city?

Cao Lvhuang could not help but be confused, and then the soldier quickly followed up: "Little brother! Is this something that you saw with your own eyes, or did you hear a rumor about? "

Seeing the old man so concerned about the matter, the soldier stopped walking and answered truthfully: "I did not see it with my own eyes, but it is a fact! Furthermore, Lin Keduo's men have split into two to go to Xiangyang and Fang County. "

"Ah!" "There's actually such a thing?" Cao Lvhuang was even more shocked. He really did not expect Lin Keduo's army to attack so quickly. If his army had truly captured Jing Prefecture and split up to go to Xiangyang and Fang County, wouldn't that be godly speed? Could it be that there was someone backing Lin Keduo that specially helped him to come up with a plan? Then who was the person behind this? How dare he rebel against the world? He was tired of living. Could it be that the Emperor and General Zhu Weideng will allow this traitor to continue acting so arrogantly? Humph! Good and evil will always be rewarded! Let's see how long this group of robbers can continue to act so arrogantly!

Thinking about that, Cao Lvhuang immediately asked: May I ask Little brother, where does your General Li want to take you?

When the soldier heard this, he could not help but sigh and said: "We wish to seek refuge with General Zhu Weideng, but we do not know if he will accept us or if he will use military law to punish General Li. "If that's the case, then wouldn't it be a waste for us to come to the capital and die?"

"Oh!" The Cao Lvhuang could not help but nod, and said, "The country is facing a difficult situation, precisely the time to hire people. I think Marshal Zhu Weideng will definitely not punish you. Maybe the Marshal will even use your General Li to plan and defeat Lin Keduo! "

"Thank you, old mister, for making it difficult for me to say these words!"

"Cough!" How can I say thank you? Little brother, you should quickly enter the courtyard to rest! "

After Cao Lvhuang finished speaking, he continued to walk forward with a heavy heart.

After Third Young Master Ye Wuhai left the Daxing Good Temple, he quickly arrived at the center of the monolith inscriptions that was inscribed with the Tang Dynasty's "Twelve Scriptures". This was because he knew in his heart that the scripture inscribed on the stone tablet was precisely the "Twelve Classics of the Confucianism". It was a text that all scholars of the past must read. Moreover, in the annual examination, whether it was the Academy Exam, the Country Exam (Explanation), the Grand Examination or the Hall Exam personally presided over by the Emperor, there would always be a lot of questions that would be asked! Actually, the "Four Books and Five Classics" were, "Analects", "University", "Median", "Meng Zi", "Book of Songs", "Zhou Yi", "Ceremony", "Spring and Autumn", and other than "Meng Zi", the rest were all in the top twelve classics. Among them, "University" and "Moderation" were chosen from "Rites of Rites", and "Book of Songs", "Book of Songs", "Rites of Zhou", "Rites of Zhou", "The Rites of the Spring and Autumn", "Legend of the Spring and Autumn", "Classic of the Spring and Autumn", "Classics of filial piety", and "Elegance" were all referred to as "Twelve Classic", and if combined with "Meng Zi", they became "Thirteen Classic of Confucianism".

However, when Ye Wuhai reached the place where the inscriptions were concentrated, the matter was as expected. It was different from the Daxing Good Temple he came to, because even though it was not a crowded place, with a total of 114 stone tablets, there was not a drop of water that could pass the examination. Ye Wuhai stood outside of the group and looked around. He suddenly realised that there were a lot of people surrounding them, and there were sounds of praise coming from time to time.

Therefore, Ye Wuhai spent a lot of effort to finally squeeze into this group of people. He wanted to observe and see what monolith inscriptions were so eye-catching. However, when he finally steadied his feet, he looked around and saw — Ahem! How were these people admiring the monolith inscriptions? It turned out to be a scholar sitting cross-legged in front of a scripture monument and writing furiously under the watchful eyes of everyone! This person's right foot was pressed against his left thigh. His upper body was slightly bent forward while his left hand was writing a few words on the stone tablet. Immediately, Ye Wuhai understood what was going on. The reason why this place could attract so many people to watch and exclaim in praise, was not only because of the stone inscriptions that were written by famous people from the previous dynasty, but more importantly, because of this scholar who was writing books in public.

Thus, Third Young Master Ye Wuhai continued to look carefully: This person's eyes were no longer looking at the scriptures on the stone tablet, but was looking straight at the tip of his brush, which was like a flying dragon and serpentine, shrouded in smoke. In an instant, several lines of words flew past. Then, he tossed the piece of paper filled with handwriting into the crowd and continued to look for paper and ink to write on! At the same time, the people in the group who had obtained the Paper ran over to the place and carefully grinded and admired it. But, to everyone's surprise, he started to write faster and more intensely, as though he was ignoring everyone around him. After a few rounds, the scattering Zhang Paper had already dispersed all the spectators around him! His speed of writing was astonishing!

However, after the man finished writing the last Paper, Ye Wuhai sat down and started to ponder. Third Young Master Ye Wuhai did not move at all, and was instead carefully examining the man's One Thought, One Stance and One Stance. In Ye Wuhai's eyes, this scene which flashed across his eyes made him think of the people, thoughts, opinions, and movements of the "Immortal Buddha Dao Monk Monk Sweetyman", "Industrial and Agricultural Military Doctor" and many other people. Why do you say that? Because Ye Wuhai had already seen that this person was not only practicing his calligraphy, he was actually meditating and cultivating. He was the one who was meditating on one of the postures of the Buddha, Qiao Da Mo Da Da Da Da Da Da Duo – Shakyamuni [1]. Looking at his thoughtful and thoughtful expression, Ye Wuhai guessed that he must be hiding something. Furthermore, when Ye Wuhai saw the last few words of the《 Little Ya Zaiwei Poetry》 that he had written, he understood the thoughts of the person sitting cross-legged even more.

Therefore, when the crowd had dispersed, Third Young Master Ye Wuhai still respectfully stood behind them. Using his enchanting voice and voice, he spoke out the heartfelt words of that person, "The past is the present, I am Yang Liuyi. Today, I came to think of it. Traveling slowly, carrying hunger with thirst. My heart is filled with sorrow, but I do not know that I am grieving! "

Just as Ye Wuhai's voice had not died down, the man who was meditating finally tilted his body, and asked the person behind him with a tone filled with grief: "May I ask who you are, Sir?"

"Oh!" When Ye Wuhai heard the question, he immediately cupped his hands and smiled: "I come from Ba Shu Dao, my surname is Ya, I'm here to rush to the capital to take the examination!"

"Urging for the examination?!" "Hahaha..." The man suddenly laughed out loud, then he suddenly stopped and turned to ask, "May I ask how many times Young Master Ye has come this year to rush the examination?"

"Hmm? …" Ye Wuhai was a little baffled by his question, and in his heart, he felt the boss was unhappy. He thought to himself, "This is my first time in the capital to rush for an exam. I've been looking forward to it for a long time. I'm getting impatient!" Why does he still want me to fail a few times before and now he's coming to rush for the exam again? "This is underestimating my, Ye Wuhai, too much!"

Third Young Master Ye Wuhai was thinking this gloomily when he heard the person who was sitting down speak again, "If this is the first time you are rushing over to take the examination, then I advise you to return to your hometown as soon as possible! I don't want you to be ashamed to see your father in the village after you have failed the rankings. "

Hearing this, Third Young Master Ye Wuhai became even angrier. He thought, What's wrong with this person today? Did he take the wrong medicine? How unlucky to say such unlucky words to someone before the exam! This unlucky star! Isn't he trying to stir up trouble and make people angry? Could it be that he himself had personally experienced this and was resentfully worrying over this matter? Thinking about that, Ye Wuhai suppressed the anger in his heart and asked coldly: May I know your name?

Hearing this, the man slowly stood up and said: "This lowly one is not talented, his surname is Zhang, and he is from Jian, Jiangnan, and is known as' Zhang Zhi Zai Zai '."

"Hahaha …" Third Young Master Ye Wuhai could no longer hold it in and burst out laughing.

Zhang Xu, who called himself "Zhang Cao Zhe", was "confused" by Ye Wuhai's "Waves that reached the skies" laughter. He thought to himself, "When I reported my name, not only did he not speak any words of respect, he even laughed loudly! He was full of mockery! This is the first time I've seen such a person who doesn't know how high the sky is! Could it be that he has never heard of my name? If so, he was too ignorant and ill-informed! If one were to talk about the scholars in this world, who didn't know that there was a 'Zhang Yao in the world' in Jiangnan. They dreamed of seeing him. This young master with the surname 'Ya' actually went the other way and didn't care about it at all. How could this be possible? Irritable! Hateful! You angered me to death as well! "

Thinking about that, Zhang Xu angrily asked Ye Wuhai: "Young Master Ye! What are you laughing at? Could it be that you think that I, Zhang, am not worthy of that title? "

"Ai!" There is a reason why I am laughing! "When you open your mouth, Ye Wuhai looked at Zhang Xu and said naturally, "I thought who was the one who liked to speak so arrogantly. It turned out to be the person with the same name as the Suzhou's Zhang Xu in his previous life, 'Zhang Zhi Zi'. I apologize! Please excuse me! I hope that 'Zhang Cao is still alive' can be forgiven! "

"Ha!" Ha! "Ha!" Zhang Xu laughed out loud again, "I didn't expect Young Master Ye to speak so well. Since I'm that straightforward Zhang Jingzi, why would I care about all this? What excuse? I think you and I are having a rather good conversation! "

"Is that so?" Ye Wuhai smiled and said, "People say that Zhang Xu is an expert in calligraphy, and that cursive script is most famous. He would often shout and run away after being drunk, unrestrained, disregarding the dignity of the powerful and powerful, taking off his hat in front of the illustrious Eunuch Wang, revealing his head and writing rapidly. The brilliant cursive script would flow straight down to the ground, the calligraphy would move as freely as the clouds, the words would shake the sky and earth, as if some supernatural art had been created. It was simply like writing with the help of ghosts and gods. At the time, it was called "Grass Saint" or "Zhang Dian". Seeing you today is indeed extraordinary. "

"Ha!" Ha! "Ha!" Zhang Xu laughed disapprovingly, "Young Master Ye, may I ask if you are talking about the previous generation's Zhang Xu or the current generation's Zhang Xu?"

"Ha!" Ha! Ha! The former Zhang Xu, the latter Zhang Xu, may not be of the same generation, but their characters and demeanor are similar. They are both good at calligraphy with godly assistance. What difference does this have between before and after? Otherwise, how could it have the good name of 'Zhang Cao Zhe'? "

"Hm!" The young man from the Young Master Ye was amicable, his words were shocking, each word comfortable and pleasing to the ear, really just like 'the young man from the sect coming before me, elegant and beautiful, beautiful as a jade tree in front of the wind'.

Heh! Look! These two stingy Elementary Scholars were all flattering each other! He was just like the "Liang Shan Hero" among the scholars. As the saying goes, "Fish look for fish, shrimp look for shrimp, turtles look for b * tches." This was the example of a "reunion of beings with one another"! Of course, we are not making a mockery of them by commenting on them here. We are praising them greatly. Do not worry too much about the hearers or readers, or the ancients!

When Ye Wuhai heard Zhang Xu's praise, he was pleasantly surprised and asked, "It seems that Brother Zhang must have read Senior Du Fu's" Eight Immortals in Drink "poem before."

"Ha!" Ha! "Ha!" Zhang Xu said with a broad smile, "We're in the same boat. Can you sing this poem with me?"

Upon hearing Zhang Xu's invitation, Ye Wuhai found it hard to refuse, and happily agreed: "Alright! "Brother Zhang, please come first."

When Zhang Xu heard this, he did not refuse at all. He blurted out, "Zhi Zhang rode a horse as if he was on a boat. His eyesight had already gone to the bottom of a well."

After Zhang Xu finished reciting the first line, Ye Wuhai then recited the second line: "The Three Duels of Ru Yang begin in the sky, the cars on the road are all drooling, and the wine spring is sealed with hatred."

"The Minister of the Left spends ten thousand dollars every day to drink wine like a whale drinking a hundred rivers. He is known as a sage of the Ouroboros music."

"The handsome and elegant young man of the sect raised his eyes to the clear blue sky. He was so beautiful that it was as if a jade tree had just appeared in front of the wind."

"Before the long Ramadan of the Su Dynasty, people loved to escape from meditation when they were drunk."

"Li Bai's drinking poems are written in a hundred essays. He went to sleep at the liquor store in Chang An City, but the Son of Heaven refused to board the ship. He claimed that he was the Wine Immortal."

"Zhang Xu drank three cups of Grass Sage Legend, and before he took off his hat and revealed the crown prince's face, he waved his hand like a wisp of smoke."

"Jiao Ruo Wu Dou Fang Zhuoran, speaking eloquently to startle the four banquets."

"Ha!" Ha! Ha! What a great 'before you take off your hat and expose your head to the prince, you will talk eloquently and startle the four tastes.' I'll make you both take off your hats and kneel in front of me today! "

When Third Young Master Ye Wuhai finished reciting the last line of the《 Eight Immortals in Drink》, he was completely shocked by the provocative words that suddenly came from behind the two of them! He only felt that this was a familiar shout that he hated to the bones. Therefore, Ye Wuhai suddenly turned around to look, only to see a group of thugs surrounding a young man in white who was holding a "golden light fan".

Who do you think this person is? As expected, the white-clothed young master holding the big fan was the Chen Jiannan he hated and had destroyed his "Myriad Treasures Jade" for a long time!

This was truly a 'enmity, an enmity with red eyes'. Just as the Third Young Master Ye Wuhai was glaring at the haughty and arrogant Chen Jiannan, that Chen Jiannan had already said to Ye Wuhai with killing intent in his eyes, "Ye Wuhai! "So you're still not dead? The heavy rain actually brought you back to life. You sure are lucky!"

"Humph!" Chen Jiannan! You despicable scumbag, if you ruin my 'Myriad Treasures Jade', I will definitely let you repay it. " Ye Wuhai pointed at Chen Jiannan and bellowed.

"Ha!" Ha! "Ha!" After Chen Jiannan laughed crazily, he suddenly closed his fan and pointed at Ye Wuhai and shouted: "Hmph! Ye Wuhai! You're about to die, and you still dare to yell like this! Let me tell you, a normal person like you isn't worthy of carrying a Myriad Treasures Jade with you. Someone! Take him down with me, and make him take off his hat and kneel in front of me! "

"Yes sir!" Immediately, the thugs around Chen Jiannan all rushed towards Third Young Master Ye Wuhai.
