Chapter Seventy-Six: Su Yue Asks Fengluo City Master to talk about the Restoration Society
Dian Yin, Liao Tingyun and Tong Xi were silent in the back, and Su Yue clasped his fists and said loudly: "It turned out to be Master Delong, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
Master Delong said: "Wo Feng is just a few years old, it is rare to meet and know each other in a foreign place, if you don't give up, how about sitting in the cold house?"
Dian Yin and the others killed his apprentice, and they didn't want to go. Su Yue had already opened his mouth to agree.
Dian Yin and Liao Tingyun have both seen the power of Master Delong's high apprentice, the Wutu, so they feel that Delong, as a Qishu master, is even more difficult to deal with. Therefore, after Su Yue should come down, both of them felt that their scalps were numb. Along the way, Dian Yin secretly asked Su Yue how to end up if he found out that the vultures and Baisheng were at their hands?
Su Yue said: "The traffic here is blocked, and there is no communication with the outside world, so the news of their deaths will not come so quickly." As long as we don't say it, no one knows. I've always wanted to talk to the grandmasters about Qishu about Qishu. If you are afraid to slip out of your mouth, speak less. ”
The four of them followed Delong around the village for a short time before they came to a courtyard. It is said to be a courtyard, but it is actually very different from ordinary courtyards: there is not a single brick or tile in the whole courtyard from the outside to the inside, except for the wood and flowers. With a circular outline, the courtyard base resembles a giant sunflower, and the whole courtyard resembles a huge garden built on sunflowers. There are only two houses in the garden. The one on the left can be summed up with just one wooden character. It was boxy, angular and angular, but there was no trace of sawing and axe splitting, as if someone had taken a hollowed-out wooden box to the door, leaving a window and covering the ground. The cursive character on the right can also be summed up. It is cylindrical, without doors and windows, with a dome and a dome, with long, curved stalks as the door wall, like an upside-down giant cabbage. Although it is smaller than the one on the left, it is far more beautiful than the former. There are strange flowers and plants in the courtyard, big like a windmill, like a wind chime, small like an orchid cinnamon, fragrant and gorgeous, different postures, different heights.
Dian Yin and the others were dazzled, praised and praised, and even forgot about Wutu and the others, and unconsciously followed Master Delong into the square room on the left, drinking green tea with a strange fragrance, and enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window. Dian Yin and Liao Tingyun were afraid that Tong Xi would be unobtrusive and poke out the matter of Wutu and Baisheng, so they took Tong Xi to the courtyard with a teacup.
Su Yue saw that the tables and chairs were all with branches and leaves and roots under them, and even the teacups were naturally grown, without any traces of iron cutting, and he couldn't help but admire.
Su Yue said: "Su met Quan Shuai from Hengbu Mountain and got the book "Wood Qi Book", although Qi Shu was written in Central Plains characters, most of the content was still incomprehensible. That's why I came to ask the Teacher. ”
Master Delong said: "If General Su doesn't think I'm verbose, let's drink tea and talk slowly." ”
Su Yue said: "The younger generation is willing to listen to it." ”
"The reason why we are called Qi people is because the ancestors of all Qi people in Youzhou are in Qi Mountain. We are descendants of the mountain gods of Qishan. The mountain god gave birth to four sons, namely the Situnmu clan, the corpse Yu Tu clan, the Hand Zhi Jin clan, and the Shuiyan Shuihuo clan. As long as they are Qi people, they are all descendants of these four clans and five clans. My name is Situn Wofeng, and I am Situn's family."
Su Yue said: "That water and fire are all the same ancestor?"
Delong nodded, and said, "The Shui Yan Clan was originally the most powerful of the four clans. It's just that the descendants of the Shui Yan clan are not harmonious, and they often have infighting, and those who believe in water become the Shui Yan water system, and those who believe in fire become the Shui Yan fire system. Then there were four states, which you would see later if you had the chance, and which had existed for thousands of years under the name of the clan. If you go to Shuiyan City, you can go and see, there is a very high earthen wall in the city, and the north of the earthen wall is the Water Tribe, and the south of the earthen wall is the Fire Tribe. The two races live together in a corner, but they don't get along with each other for old age and death. ”
The mage also said: "The Qi techniques of the five clans are not divided into high and low, each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Qi art, not everyone has talent to learn, let alone you, the Qi people who cultivate this way in the world are often one in ten thousand. I have two apprentices, one is called Wutu and the other is called Baisheng. Their talents are among the best among the Qi people, but Baisheng is really not a little worse than Wutu. For example, the old boss of the general, Quan Lao, who is highly talented, is as easy as walking for an old man with gray hair. This has nothing to do with the level of understanding, nor does it have to do with being smart and stupid. ”
"What does the mage mean is that Su Yue is not suitable for studying Qi Arts?" asked Su Yue.
The mage said, "I don't know about the rest, you are really not suitable for the wood system. Wo Feng spoke bluntly, don't blame the general, this is the case, the right person is like a god, and the unsuitable person has made little progress in his life. Among the five Qi techniques, the one that best reflects this is the earth system. In the future, if you can meet a man named Corpse Yu, you will know that I am right. ”
Outside, the three of them strolled around Master Delong's fantastical courtyard. There are strange flowers and plants everywhere in the courtyard, especially the cabbage house, the door panels are crooked and straight to the top, and when all the door panels are removed, there is nothing, it is really like a cabbage. Su Yue and Master Delong stood at the door of the square wooden house. Su Yue seemed to have finally unloaded some burden, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Tong Rhino shouted at Delong, "Mage, you are so powerful, and the courtyard is also big, why only build two such small houses?"
The mage smiled and said, "What's the use of more, what's the use of being big? ”
Everyone laughed. The mage looked at them, raised his eyes, looked at the vast sky behind them, and said, "Did you come out of that barren mountain and go all the way south?"
Su Yue said: "We are going all the way to the north to find Fengluo City, but we saw with our own eyes that the road to the country of good people has been blocked, so we went south to find another way." ”
The mage said: "There are three routes from the eight counties to the Youbei countries: take the western route of Cai County, the middle line of Damu to the good people's country, and the eastern line from the east of Damu to the north of Shihu Pass. and the western route from Caijun to the north. The middle road, which is on the northern border of the Good Guy Country, has been burned, so if you go north, you can only return to the eight counties. It's just that this Fengluo City ......," Master Delong wanted to speak, but stopped.
Tong Rhino took a step forward and said, "What's wrong with Fengluo City?
Master Delong glanced at her and said with a smile: "I've heard of it, I haven't been there, it is rumored that it has strange customs and is a port to the Central Plains." But I've only heard from people that I've never seen anyone there. ”
"It turns out that that place can really lead to the Central Plains. Everyone was a little excited about this. "The mage traveled from south to north, and he didn't go there?" asked Tong Xi again.
Delong shook his head: "If you go sincerely, I will tell you that this road is not easy to walk, ghosts, ghosts, wolves, tigers and leopards, many difficulties, nine deaths." The founder of Chuanfeng Luocheng was a female king, who led her clansmen to rise up in the Central Plains. After the defeat of the army, he inadvertently entered Youzhou, led his subordinates to build a city there, and named himself Fengluo City, and now the city lord and the people of the city are the descendants of the king and her subordinates. ”
Su Yue and the others all sang a big promise to the mage to thank him for his heartfelt words.
Subsequently, Su Yue and the others resigned to Master Delong on the grounds of hurrying. The mage said, "Wait. After saying that, with a shake of his hands, the cabbage house suddenly opened, and a medicine cabinet that occupied one wall appeared in the room, and a thin vine climbed up the cabinet, and opened one of the drawers, and after opening, three more thin vines grew, and then each of them rolled out a small wooden box from the drawer, and quickly crept back, and presented the four boxes in front of the mage.
The mage spread out his palms, and the wooden boxes fell down just as well. The mage delivered the wooden boxes to them one by one, and said, "I, the Qi people of the wood department, are the best at using medicine. There is a grass pill in each box, which I personally prepared, and it can save people's lives when it is critical, whether you go south to the eight counties or look for Fengluo City in the future, it is a dangerous way. I hope you don't need it. ”
Su Yue bowed and said: "Thank you seniors, it's just that we are all destitute now, how can we repay them?"
The mage said, "I don't want anything from you. It's only because you are the deceased of Old Man Quan that I gave you this medicine, and you will go all the way......"
All four of them took a box and thanked each of them. After saying goodbye to Master Delong, the four of them headed south. Walking through the village and walking leisurely, only Su Yue looked around, not knowing what he was looking for. On both sides are flat fields, with only hills in front of them. Turning the sheep intestine path under the hill, Su Yue suddenly said: "You go first, I'll go for convenience, and then catch up." ”
Everyone nodded, but Su Yue was not convenient. He started his light work, galloped all the way, and returned to Master Delong's courtyard the same way. The mage was sitting in the pavilion in the small courtyard, holding a cup, and he drank it all in one go, not knowing whether it was tea or wine. Su Yue stood in his yard. He didn't ask, he didn't say, as if he couldn't see him, but as if he knew he would come back.
Su Yue stood behind him, unloaded the Seven Techniques Box, threw away the big golden knife in his hand, knelt down two steps forward and said, "Su Yue should die, kill the two high disciples!"
"Which two?" the mage asked, still with his back to him.
"Vulture and Hundred Lives. ”
The mage smiled: "It is reasonable to say that a hundred lives and deaths are in your hands, but Wu Tu is my most proud disciple in recent years. After he finished speaking, he turned around and raised his hand to signal Su Yue to get up. Su Yue stood up, lowered his head and said nothing.
The mage said, "Tell me about it." Su Yue then told him how to get to the palace of the good people, and then how Uncle Guo and the rebels of the Wan clan forced the palace, and how they had a fight with the Wutu Baisheng first, and how the Wutu and Baisheng framed them in the Wanfu, and they had to be killed in the prison. In the end, how to kill them at the Western Boundary Pass.
The mage smiled lukewarmly: "Does the general think that if you take the initiative to admit your mistake, I won't blame you too much?" Su Yue raised his head in surprise, covered in cold sweat, but saw that the mage also looked at him meaningfully.
Su Yue was silent. The mage didn't ask, and only said, "There are some junior brothers in my department, but they don't have a pearl heart. ”
Su Yue was puzzled: "You don't have this junior brother, then why are they holding on to us so much, and they are so cruel to us......
The mage said, "General, don't worry. ”
When Master Delong said the word "don't be anxious", Su Yue's heart flashed, and his uneasy heart seemed to drop a little, did he really not go to his heart?
"Listen to me," the Master said, "We Qi people don't have historians, so we don't know what happened thousands of years ago. But most of them think that it was you Central Plains people who robbed us of our land in Youzhou back then, making us lonely ghosts, either hiding in the mountains and forests, or fleeing to the north. In modern times, some people who are unhappy in their lives, or radical people have established the Futu Society, because they are vicious and ruthless, and the general Qi people despise them, so they often do something secretly, I know that Zhu Xin is the patriarch of this society, and Wutu and Baisheng call him uncle, and hate you so much, it should be a person in this society. ”
Su Yue bowed and said: "Su has a sentence, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
The mage smiled and said, "Do you want to say that I, Delong, am also a generation of grandmasters, how can I recruit such an apprentice?"
Su Yue hugged his fists and said: "The younger generation is presumptuous. ”
The mage said, "It's a long story. Strictly speaking, they are not my apprentices. Back then, the good man Uncle Guo was kind to me, but I was born noble and had a flawless life, and I couldn't repay it. Uncle Guo asked me to select a few people from his guards to learn some Qi techniques, so that I could escort the enemy at a critical moment. Therefore, I chose them, and Uncle Guo said that they were both benevolent and pure. At first, I also taught them wholeheartedly, and after a long time, I saw their humanity, so I stopped in moderation. Before leaving, I was afraid that they would ruin my reputation, and I wanted to prevent them from telling me that they were my apprentices, and it was in the way of Uncle Guo's face, so it was difficult to explain it clearly. Later, he went out of the National Uncle's Mansion. Every time they do evil, they really want to involve me. I was afraid that the enemy would find me, so I lived in seclusion here. Therefore, General Su does not have to feel guilty, everything is fate, Uncle Guo saved me back then, and it was fate for Wutu and Baisheng to ruin my reputation, and now they sacrifice their lives in Huangquan, which is also their life. ”
Su Yue couldn't help but sigh, like a stone hanging in his heart and landed safely. He suddenly remembered the ingenious black vine of Zhuxin in Sanssouci Town and his strange Qishu moves, so he asked him what was the difference between Qishu and Zhuxin.
Master DeLong suddenly darkened his face and stood up without saying a word. Su Yue thought that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly stood up. The mage turned his head and said with a smile: "The general is not more panicked, I am not a qi general, just a qi pearl heart, what the general said is not Qi Shu at all, they just took advantage of Qi Shu." Although my five systems of Qishu gold, wood, saying, fire and earth come from one family, but after thousands of years of refining and studying by the elites of various departments, compared with the ancestors, there is a big difference. Therefore, it is simply impossible for anyone to be able to use five types of Qi techniques at the same time. In my eyes, Zhu Xin is just a trickster. To put it nicely, you can call him a master of tricks, and his little ability is not Qi Shu at all. ”
Su Yue nodded ignorantly, he didn't know Qi Shu, and he didn't know whether what the mage said was true or false, but he felt that although Zhuxin and Master Delong didn't seem to be comparable, it was indeed not so easy to deal with.
Su Yue chatted with Master Delong for a few more words, and then hurriedly said goodbye on the grounds that Dian Yin and the others were waiting for him in front. DeLong stood up and watched him walk out of the courtyard.
Here, Dian Yin and Liao Tingyun sat at the corner of the hill, and they couldn't wait and couldn't wait. Dian Yin climbed up the hill and looked around in the direction he was walking, only to see cloudless and fertile mountains, and he couldn't find Su Yue's shadow anywhere. It wasn't until the sun went down that I saw a figure in the distance hurrying back from the direction of the village.
Dianyin's face was blank, and he rushed down the hill to meet him in the sunset. Su Yue looked at the sunset, sighed, and asked, "Do you know where I went?"
Norigen nodded.
Su Yue asked, "Do you know what I'm going to do?"
Dianyin nodded: "I probably know." ”
Su Yue asked, "Do they know?"
Dian Yin smiled and said, "Tong Xi knows it. ”
The four of them went all the way south to return to the eight counties. One day, when recalling the brutality of Qi Wutu and Baisheng, Dianyin suddenly thought of the simple enthusiasm of the Qi people in the deer forest in his hometown after learning Su Yue's real name, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, so he asked Su Yue: "Why is there such a big difference between Wutu and Baisheng and Alimbo and Potek father and son in the deer forest?"
Su Yue smiled: "I don't know, it's just that when I heard Master Delong talk about Wutu and Baisheng that day, they seemed to have joined a 'Restoration Society' that hated us descendants of the Central Plains, so they were different from Potek. What's more, Allimbo's family has lived in the eight counties for a long time, which should be a little different from these Qi people in the north. (End of Part 1)
