Chapter 8 Storm and Chaos in Hibiscus Water Festival 6: Alliance
Verse 6: The Alliance
September twenty-six, Fengyang Phoenix foothills.
At this time, the sky is peaceful, and the wind is slightly cool. The courtyard under the mountain, the courtyard is ancient and cypressen, the branches are iron, and the green feathers are green. Refreshments are set up in the courtyard, all the guests gather, looking up at the Phoenix Mountain, only to feel that the peak of the mountain is in the heart of the sky, and the ten thousand trees are on the side, and the slender ones are not born.
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang took the meaning of the sun of Phoenix Mountain, so it was named Fengyang Mansion. The Cangnan faction will ally Fengyang, and it must be allowed to be nine thousand years old, and the Jinyi guards and Fengyang officials are also patrolling, and they dare not slack off. Cangnan and Jinyi are rigorously guarded and carefully arranged, which shows that Yan Song and Wei Zhongxian attach great importance to this alliance, which is self-evident, and it also shows that what the two of them plan to meet this alliance must be a shocking thing.
Liuhequan Ma Xingde, Guangling Jian Chu Dai and other heads of various factions in Jiangnan gathered here with dozens of disciples, and there were also many famous people and their children who had no sect in Jiangnan. The courtyard was bustling, sitting or standing, drinking or talking, and so on.
At this moment, someone outside the courtyard shouted: "Teacher Sun Baisheng, the head of the Hunan Shenquan Sect, has joined the club with his disciples!" Ma Xingde and Chu Dai saw that they were old acquaintances, and they all got up to greet each other. Zheng Jing and others of the Golden Dao Gate are gone, and they think that the position of the head of the family is still undecided. A moment later, several more groups of people came one after another.
It should be that everyone has arrived, and the Cangnan servants led people from all factions to watch the seats in the courtyard. Although the compound is wide, but these seven or eight hundred people gathered in the middle, it also seems crowded, if you count the officials outside the courtyard, brocade guards, etc., the alliance will only be afraid of the number of thousands.
I saw Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyi Weibei Town, and Yang Huan, the commander of Nanzhen, sitting in front of the Old Buddha Hall in the courtyard, and the door of the palace had been closed. On the left and right are Tong Xiong, the owner of Changtian Village, and Yu Wenchen, the owner of Gu Hu Village, and other Cangnan faction masters. In terms of official rank, Xu Xianchun was the greatest, but the leader of the alliance should be Yan Song, but he is nowhere to be seen at this moment. Everyone thought to themselves: "This Cangnan faction leader has such a big shelf, as the head of the alliance, does he want many of us to wait for him?"
They sat down by the door, whispering.
September twenty-six o'clock is close to the beginning of winter, the climate is cold, at this moment the new sun is shining, but there is a warmth. Xu Xianchun stood up and said loudly: "Please listen to Xu Mou's words! I Jiangnan heroes gathered here, thanks to the martial arts colleagues, there are many people who come to watch the ceremony, much more than Xu and Yan Zhangmen expected, all kinds of supplies, it seems that there is quite a shortage, and the hospitality is slow, please bear with me." ”
The group of heroes returned the gift. Xu Xianchun said: "I think my Jiangnan martial arts have always been the same as each other, and they have long been like a family. However, this time is different from the past, the situation in the rivers and lakes is turbulent, and there are incidents, and my martial arts are like scattered sand, and I have not been able to unify the order, and it has become the climate. Nine thousand years old thought that the snake could not be without a head, and when he chose a martial arts alliance leader to command the heroes, lead the south of the Yangtze River, and serve the imperial court, in case of a great disaster, he could resist it. He paused and pointed to the Cangnan people: "Today, the head of the Cangnan faction is painstakingly and solitary, understands the righteousness, and tries his best to promote this matter, which is really an immeasurable merit. I hope that all the heads of the family will not use their own selfishness to harm the interests of everyone, Xu Mou has thanked him in advance!" Then a brocade guard handed over the wine, Xu Xianchun drank it all, and said loudly: "Everyone, please!"
The major bosses are submissive, but they don't drink. Tong Xiong and Yu Wenchen glanced at each other, and said in unison: "All the heads don't drink, aren't they dissatisfied with my Cangnan faction?" Xu Xianchun laughed and said: "No, no, the heads of the sect are still suspicious of the alliance." You might as well do it, if you have any objections, but you can say it, how can I be a strong man?" I saw a move with his left hand, and there were immediately more than 100 people outside the courtyard, and many people who were deaf and clear-sighted even noticed that there were crossbowmen lurking on the branches of the big trees. It seems that if you don't obey, there will be a bloody storm in this compound in front of the Buddha.
Xu Xianchun laughed: "Do you still have any questions now?" The heads were helpless, and each raised a bowl to drink the wine. Although the disciples were angry, they did not dare to squeak.
Suddenly, someone in the courtyard said coldly: "My Hengshan faction also belongs to the Jiangnan martial arts lineage, and it is a great fortune for each faction to be like a family, but the old man disagrees with Mr. Xu's martial arts alliance leader." Everyone was amazed: "Who is this person? He was so bold to brush Xu Xianchun's tiger whiskers." And they all looked, and they saw that it was a seventy-year-old man who spoke, and his clothes were shabby, but he was very clean. Some people secretly said: "This is the head of Hengshan, the old man of Qingyang!"
Xu Xianchun sneered: "Hehe, why did Brother Qingyang say this?"
A total of more than 30 people came to Nanyue Hengshan, all dressed in red, and the head Qingyang plucked the huqin lightly, and sang slowly: "Thinking of the Qin Palace and the Han Que, they are all scattered with decayed grass, cattle and sheep. There is nothing to say about the fisherman. The longitudinal grave crosses the monument, and the dragon and snake are not distinguished. Cast into the fox trail and rabbit hole, how many heroes. The foot is three and a half points and the waist is folded, and the red sun in front of Wei Ye and Jin Ye is slanting westward, like a downhill car. Don't fight for snow in the mirror, go to bed and say goodbye to shoes. Mo Xiaochao is clumsy, and Hulu Ti has always pretended to be stupid. Fame is exhausted, right and wrong. The red dust does not provoke to the front of the door, the green trees are suitable for the corner of the house, the green mountain is making up for the lack of the wall, and the bamboo fence hut. ”
Most of the people are martial arts practitioners, and they don't know the meaning of this song, but listening to this old man singing in a hoarse voice, they all have a sense of sadness.
Qingyang's song was originally an interception of the Yuan Dynasty's "Double Tone Night Boat Autumn Thought" by Ma Zhiyuan, the champion of the Yuan Dynasty. This song does not say anything else, it only shows the sorrow of the rise and fall, the harm of fame, the so-called famous history, the immortality of the achievements are all illusory, how many heroes have been swept away by the waves, for thousands of years, there is not only a handful of loess left? Fame is like this, life and death are also like this, what martial arts alliance masters, what rivers and lakes grudges, in the end, it is not all sunset, a long song. As for "Mo Xiaochao's clumsy plan, Hulu Ti has always pretended to be stupid." The sentence is based on Ma Qu, ironizing Xu Xianchun's ingenuity, and everyone pretends to be stupid, so it is better to cut off this idea of right and wrong and go back to the bamboo fence hut.
After Qingyang finished singing, he coughed again and again, and Di Suying, the head disciple beside him, hurriedly supported him. Yang Huan slapped his chair, got up and shouted: "Old man Qingyang, this is the place of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance, not the lower courtyard of your Hengshan faction, let alone the opera residence of the teaching workshop, if you want to sing a song, go elsewhere!"
Qingyang glanced at him, did not answer, and continued to cough. Yang Huan saw that his expression was extremely contemptuous, and his heart was furious: "It seems that I don't give you some color, you are easy to provoke when I am 'Jinyun Leopard' Yang Huan?" Di Suying was about to fight, and Qingyang shouted: "Go back." Then he made a move to "see the spring and autumn in his sleeve" to greet him. The two of them crossed their hands, and they both felt that the other party's internal strength was deep, and they each took a step back.
The two of them were indistinguishable, and everyone applauded. Xu Xianchun is a bystander, but he knows that Qingyang's move is skillful, and it is clear that it is evenly divided, in fact, when Yang Huan attacked Qingyang in front of him, although the move was changing, but the chest and abdomen had been slightly exposed, and the Qingyang generation of suzerains could naturally see that even if the trick "saw the spring and autumn in the sleeve" counterattacked his chest and abdomen, when Yang Huan returned to the shelf, the old force was empty, and the new force was born, which was comparable to the non-Qingyang accumulation. Of course, except for Xu Xianchun and a few other top masters, the rest of the people can't see the mystery here.
Xu Xianchun sneered: "Brother Qingyang hasn't seen him for many years, so Qiao's kung fu is better than in the past, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, how about letting Xu come and play a few tricks with my brother?"
Qingyang's shriveled old face was cold, and he snorted: "The old man is really fortunate to have Commander Xu to condescend to the noble level again and give a few moves." He handed the huqin to his disciple Di Suying, and was about to end the game, Di Suying said in a low voice: "Master, Uncle Shi hasn't arrived yet, don't ......" Before the words were finished, Qingyang waved his left hand and twitched his right hand, already holding a long sword in his hand.
"Commander Xu, this is not the time to compete for the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, don't be like Brother Qingyang Dao, please calm your anger. Sun Baisheng and others persuaded one after another.
At this moment, a Cangnan sect disciple ran up to the hall and whispered to Yu Wenchen for a while, Yu Wenchen's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly walked to Xu Xianchun's side and whispered in his ear. After hearing this, Xu Xianchun was shocked, and everyone saw it in their eyes, and wondered in their hearts: "Isn't everything under the control of Jinyiwei and the Cangnan faction?
I only heard another voice outside the hospital: "Jinling Shen Yuanyun, rain, snow is here!"
"Ah, they're coming!" Hearing this, the originally silent venue immediately became in a commotion. "Didn't Shen Yuan never ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, how could he come to this alliance meeting?" Chu Dai questioned. Sun Baisheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't heard that Master Yan and Commander Xu invited them, this is really strange." Another newcomer asked, "What is Shen Yuan?" Who is Shen Yuanyun, rain, and snow?" For a while, there was a lot of noise, chatter, and broken sounds.
Xu Xianchun looked at Qingyang and said coldly: "It turned out that he was scolded, no wonder the old man is so fearless." Qingyang raised his head and asked: "I have no friendship with him, but how can I get married?" Is the commander accustomed to the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman?" Xu Xianchun coughed dryly, and put aside the topic: "Master Tong, Master Yan is not here, so I bother you to go and greet the three elites of Shen Yuan." He was proud of his fame and was unwilling to go out, so he put the responsibility on Tong Xiong. Tong Xiong was unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to lead four subordinates down the steps.
The door of the courtyard was wide open, and I saw a person sitting in a wheelchair first, with long hair hanging down his shoulders, a thin jade face, delicate eyebrows, a black coat and a crane, feathers on his shoulders, and a goshawk embroidered on his clothes, but twenty-five or six. Sitting in a wheelchair, I can't see my height, but my demeanor is sassy and elegant. The wheeled bicycle under his seat is not ordinary, as if it was made of fine sandalwood, with fine carved lines, and the button bracket is also cleverly designed, and the workmanship is even more gorgeous. Behind him, a black-faced strong man pushed a wheeled cart, and beside him were two young girls, both with veils, although they could see the eyebrows and vague outlines, they seemed to be peerless. The one on the left hand side is dressed in white, and the one on the right hand side is dressed in green, which is Qingling and Xuehan!
The young man was handsome and extraordinary, and the two daughters were unparalleled, and they immediately attracted everyone's attention. There are many beautiful female disciples in the various sects, and they all have a good impression when they see the young people, and they are jealous and hateful when they see Qing and Xue Ershu.
"Oh my God! these two girls are in such good shape!"
"Hmph! It's two vixens!"
"Even if you can't see your face, you already feel that you are a heavenly immortal!"
"Don't look at it!
"I bet they take off their veils and must look better than Chang'e in the month!"
Half of the young men in the venue shouted, staring directly at the two women, some of them aimed at Qingling's straight chest and Xue Han's ankle that appeared by chance when he walked up the steps, and drooled and was still at a loss.
Under everyone's gaze, the goddess in white was cold, but the woman in green was slightly ashamed. In fact, Qing and Xue Ershu are absolutely beautiful, but if they take off the veil, they may not be able to fascinate all the heroes, like such an infatuation. Just because I can see the hazy outline, I think it is extremely beautiful, and then I want to see it when I can't see it clearly, I can't see through it, so I need to fill it by myself, which makes people reverie infinitely, so the more I think about it, the more beautiful it is, the beauty of the snow is better than its own beauty, and everyone is addicted and can't extricate themselves. It can be seen that the looming beauty is more soul-stirring than a taste exposed.
"If only they could remove the veil!"
A middle-aged man shouted softly: "You all don't want to die! That's Shen Yuan's eldest lady and second miss, you dare to blaspheme them like this, it annoys them, it's strange if you don't screw off your heads!"
The middle-aged scholar next to him shook the folding fan and said leisurely: "Do you know why these two don't show their true faces? Hmph, just because of the appearance of the country and the city, it will definitely confuse all sentient beings, looming, hidden behind the curtain of feather yarn, quietly watching and tasting tea, this is where the wisdom of Shen Yuan lies." ”
"What the hell is Shen Yuan?" Most of the younger generation have this question, and only a few have asked. "If I look at them, I will only talk nonsense, do you think these two girls will take a look at me, if they can look at me Du Si, they will die without regrets!" "Your grandmother's! Will Lao Tzu and Mr. Chen fool you?" Listen!" The middle-aged man kicked Du Si and said loudly: "Do you know Shen Que, the 'iron-faced divine doctor' in Jinling, he is the master of Shen Yuan!"
"Ah! it turned out to be him!" Those who didn't know Shen Yuan immediately realized that half of them suddenly realized. Another half was still asking: "Why is the Zhuangzi of the 'Iron Mask Divine Doctor' called Shen Yuan? Isn't it because the old man's surname is Shen, why have you never heard of it?"
"It's really unheard. The middle-aged scholar shook his head and said, "Then have you ever heard of the Jinling Hidden Sword Pavilion, the Bingxin Hall, and the Listening to the Rain Pavilion? "Ah, yes, I heard that the Ice Heart Hall is the place where the divine doctor treats. ”
"Not bad. "This scholar is a member of the Zhizong Sect, and Bai Xiaosheng in the rivers and lakes knows everything when he asks him" Chen Xiaoqian, formerly known as Xiaoqian, changed himself to Xiaoqian. After the grandson of Zhizong disappeared, he passed down three disciples, namely "Heaven is not as good as me", Chen Xiaoqian, and "Wolong Xiao Zhuge ". Among them, the Taoist is good at divination and calculation, and Chen Xiaoqian is familiar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and they are all well-known in the rivers and lakes. The only "Wolong Xiao Zhuge " is full of scheming, if there are thousands of faces, Shenlong sees the head but does not see the end, except for his senior brother, no one else knows his name, surname, age, or even whether he is a man or a woman.
I only heard Chen Xiaoqian continue: "That Shen Shen Doctor 'Jing Yuan', there are three stunts in his life, one is his martial arts, the second is his medical skills, and the third is poetry and music. As for Mr. Jing Yuan himself, he lived alone in Shen Yuan. ”
Chen Xiaoqian paused, and said: "It is rumored that Shen Shenyi likes ancient words, especially the song "Hairpin Phoenix" by Lu You in the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu Fangweng has an anecdote in Shen Yuan, Shaoxing, Zhejiang. The latter two met in Shaoxing Shen Yuan, Lu Yougan and inscribed "Hairpin Phoenix" on the wall, Tang Wan saw it and reconciled, and soon died of depression. The divine doctor was very emotional, and every time he read the words of the two people: 'red crisp hands, yellow vine wine, and willows on the spring palace wall of the city', he must cry. In addition, the divine doctor surnamed Shen, so he imitated the Shen Garden in Shaoxing, and also built a Shen Garden in Jinling, and lived in it. ”
"As for Shen Yuanyun, rain, and snow, they naturally refer to the three of the Shen family's son-in-law and young lady. Chen Xiaoqian said this, just as the black-faced strong man pushed Shen Feiyun passing by, Shen Feiyun nodded and smiled at him. Chen Xiaoqian returned the salute and said no more.
Tong Xiong also arrived, and when he saw that the person who came was a half-cripple in a wheelchair, he laughed contemptuously: "Hahaha, what kind of hero am I, I am a cripple! Hahaha, I laughed to death." ”
Shen Feiyun's expression remained unchanged, but the strong man behind him had already shouted: "What are you, dare to insult my son-in-law!" Shen Qingling also said angrily: "Your hair is shaved, and your mouth should be clean, otherwise your aunt and grandmother want you to look good!" Shen Feiyun raised his hand lightly and shouted: "Sister Ling, Kunlun Nu, don't be rude." Kunlun Nu didn't dare to say any more, and stood with his head down. Tong Xiong glared and scolded: "Is the little girl looking for death?" Shen Qingling snorted, turned his head, and still looked proud.
Shen Feiyun arched his hand towards Tong Xiong and said: "This must be the owner of Changtianzhuang Tong Village, fortunately, Feiyun is polite." Where the sister and the servant are rude, I hope that the owner of the village will look at the face of his father and not be surprised. ”
Tong Xiong listened to his humble words, only said that the other party was vain, and when he saw himself, he was afraid, and laughed at the moment: "The little thing is quite good at talking, Grandpa Tong is in a good mood, so he won't pursue it." In arrogance, he put his hand on Shen Feiyun's shoulder. At this time, not only Kunlun Nu and Shen Qingling were furious, but even Shen Xuehan, who was dressed in green, frowned slightly.
