Chapter 12 Talking and laughing thundered
Zhao Weixin presented a greeting sticker to Xia Mansion a few days ago, and made an appointment to meet him on the same day. Nowadays, the rivers and lakes are quite prosperous to give the gift of the sword, regardless of the heroic woman to give the sword as the way of the thick lord, if the owner of the house gets the sword gift will have a bright face. If the guest gives a "sword to the hero" when presenting the salute, the owner of the house will laugh heartily, and often raise his arms and draw the sword back to the sheath and shout "good sword" heartily. In this way, after three rounds of drinking, the guests and hosts put their hands to narrate, hugged each other and cried, like lovers reunited after a long absence, not to mention a trace of disputes, even if there is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, it can actually be relieved by three points.
Huashan to the top of the wild goose peak, towering and erect, high into the clouds, can be said to be "only the sky is above, there is no mountain and Qi", the wild geese fly to the south to this place all need to settle down to rest before they can continue to move forward, the peak of the wild goose is named after this. There is a Laojun Cave in Luoyan Peak, it is said that it is the place where Lao Tzu tempers the talisman weapon before turning Hu, Laojun Cave has a day of foreign stone, water and fire do not invade the body, the sword does not leave a trace, this stone is obtained by Li Si and dedicated to the first emperor, the first emperor summoned the famous craftsman to combine this stone and the world's sharp weapons to cast Jiuding Town in Kyushu, known as Kyushu Ding in history. There is a record in the history of Kyushu Ding in the wild, now it has been lost, there are rumors that Kyushu Ding is Xiang Yu's income and transferred to the hands of Liu Bang, so as to lay the foundation of the Han Dynasty for a hundred years, and it is rumored that Kyushu Ding has been ordered by the first emperor to integrate it with Kyushu, and to protect the foundation of China's immortality.
A hundred years ago, when Huashan sent people to repair the Laojun Cave, they accidentally found half a square of heavenly stone, and after many verifications, it was left behind by the first emperor to refine the Kyushu Ding. Subsequently, the Huashan faction united the power of the faction and the work of ten years, and cast nine swords with this stone and sent the sword, corresponding to Kyushu, not only to remember the predecessors, but also to pay tribute to the sages. On the day of the birth of these nine swords, the thunder of Luoyan Peak was bursting, the blood clouds were in the sky, and the rivers and lakes shook up and down. Don't say that even the chivalrous hermits who are indifferent to fame and fortune have a covetous heart, and want to follow the ancients to do things like chickens and dogs. Fortunately, the head of Huashan sent out nine good players in time to defect to Taizu with a sword each, and followed Taizu to fight the Taihu Bear three times and attack the Saiwai Tiger nine times. "Buried the bones everywhere, and the horse leather shrouded body was returned", only one of the nine good hands survived, and after the merit retreated, he presented six swords to Taizu to show his heart. Taizu felt his loyalty, pity his tragedy, and promised to keep a faction safe for the rest of his life. Since then, although the Huashan faction has gradually declined, no one has been touched in the rivers and lakes.
He Chongzhi and his junior brother Zhao Weixin sat upright in the carriage, while figuring out various ways to deal with the immediate meeting with their junior brothers, while stroking the sword that was horizontal to the knees, and inadvertently skimming the sword with a look of contradiction and despair between reluctance and reluctance. Zhao Weixin and his senior brother have grown up with a bare friendship, and they have always praised their elders for their thoughtfulness, so they don't know what their senior brother thinks.
"The Hanyuan Sword is the only three remaining swords in Huashan, and the sword in hand can keep three feet safe. However, throughout the ages, those who have achieved great things are in people, not things. "What the junior brother said is," He Chongzhi said with a wry smile, "I don't know that no matter how sharp the sword is, it is only a sharp weapon." It's just to remember the three swords of the ancestors who fought bloodily, but today this Hanyuan sword was given from my hand, I really don't know if it's right or wrong. When I think of this, my heart is hard to understand. "People are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless", Zhao Weixin sighed lightly, patted his senior brother's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "It's here." He Chongzhi cheered up, put the Hanyuan Sword lightly in a wooden box wrapped in splendid embroidery and inlaid with gold wire, handed it to his junior brother, and got out of the carriage.
He Chongzhi looked at the Xia Mansion and saw that Xia Hongyi had been standing outside the gate of the mansion with Shi Runde, as if he had been waiting for a long time, He Chongzhi hurriedly strode forward. Xia Hongyi smiled, and made a "please" movement with his right hand, "Brother He and Brother Zhao are driving, Xia is fortunate in three lives", Shi Runde and Xia Hongyi stood side by side, smiling at He Chongzhi and Zhao Weixin, who was half a step back.
The four of them entered the house and entered the hall, and the guests and hosts sat down, and the Longjing tea had just been brewed, with the fragrance of tea. The curling tea mist swirled up from the cup and slowly dispersed, and the originally cold weather seemed to be a little warmer, and the gap between each other due to lack of familiarity also seemed to be diluted by the tea mist.
He Chongzhi took the wooden box from Zhao Wei's new hand, clasped his hands tightly, and said to Xia Hongyi with a smile, "Since ancient times, the sword has been given to heroes, and now I will bring a sword to Brother Xia, and Brother Xia should not refuse." ”
Xia Hongyi carefully untied the silk outside the wooden box, opened the lock, and slowly lifted the lid of the box. Shi Runde knew that He Chongzhi was a senior brother of the Huashan faction, and his expression was very solemn, and the box must be a sword that was rare in a hundred years rather than a humble sword, so he couldn't help but get up and walk towards the wooden box. When he approached, the wooden box also happened to be opened, Shi Runde's heart froze, only to feel a cold breath rushing towards his face, and with his small cultivation, he couldn't help but shudder for a while. Xia Hongyi forced the surprise in his heart, and was about to pick up the sword in the box.
"Brother Xia, slow down." Facing the puzzled eyes of Xia Shi and the others, He Chongzhi explained, "Only when the internal force is poured into the hands can you hold the sword." Xia Hongyi knew his good intentions, nodded his thanks, took a deep breath, and carried the strength of the dantian on his palms, holding the sheath in his left hand and the handle in his right hand. Shi Runde and Xia Hongyi stood side by side, only to feel that the sword was about to be unsheathed, and a chill on the face went straight down from the brain door into the dantian, and when Shi Runde was ready to retreat, Xia Hongyi had already received the sword into the wooden box and closed the package, Shi Runde came back to his senses, but saw that the hair hanging in front of the sideburns of the two had been broken by the sword qi, and was slowly floating towards the ground. The two looked at each other, both of them looking at each other's eyes with shock and horror.
"The cold is pressing, like being in the abyss", Xia Hongyi couldn't help but admire, "Brother He, but the cold abyss sword of your faction?" "Haha!" He Chongzhi was also proud when he heard Xia Hongyi's admiration and admiration, "Brother Xia's good eyesight is the Hanyuan Sword, only those who have reached a certain level of internal strength can be like an arm, otherwise it is easy to be invaded by the cold and fall into the root of the disease." ”
Anyone who comes across a good sword or a secret book will cherish it more than his lover, in order to seek the supreme realm of the unity of man and sword in the legend. Xia Hongyi is familiar with the history of this dynasty and knows the bloody storm caused by the birth of the nine swords of Huashan at the beginning. The husband is not guilty, and he is guilty, which has been an unbreakable reason since ancient times.
Xia Hongyi closed the package and prepared to hand it back to He Chongzhi, "The gift is too valuable, and only the virtuous live in it, Xia Mou will not dare to accept it." He Chongzhi didn't take it, but smiled, "It's just a sharp weapon, Brother Xia don't shirk it again." Seeing this, Xia Hongyi didn't twist anymore, and accepted the wooden box with a hearty smile.
After this episode, the four of them spoke very harmoniously, and the guests and hosts were happy. He Chongzhi raised his eyes and looked out of the hall, but saw that the wind was heavy and the clouds were heavy, like a sign of heavy snow. Xia Hongyi saw that his expression had the intention of returning, clapped his hands, and the two maids walked in from outside the hall, bent down and said good luck to He Zhao and the others. He Chongzhi raised his eyes and saw that the two were nine points similar in appearance, but their temperaments were very different. The two maids lit candles and lit charcoal fires in the hall, and in an instant there was a smell of spring, which made people can't help but have the urge to yawn lazily.
"Two sisters, go and prepare dinner, and then get ten catties of good wine from the cellar, and today you and the two distinguished guests will not get drunk and return. Xia Hongyi commanded, and then said to He Zhao and the others, "Hundred-year-old wine is not available everywhere!" He Chongzhi was about to excuse himself, but he saw Shi Runde winking at him, as if he was begging to stay, and his lips opened lightly, looking at his mouth shape like the word "good wine", his heart moved and he hurriedly smiled, "The guest is as good as the host." Xia Hongyi saw Shi Runde like this, and scolded with a smile, "This time it's cheaper for you."
The winter night came very suddenly, and it was already dark as he spoke. The north wind howled and raged, and even drowned out the sound of the four of them talking. Xia Hongyi walked out of the hall, only to see snowflakes floating outside, Xia Hongyi stared at the falling snowflakes, and suddenly had an illusion as if flying into the sky.
The snow is too late in spring, so it wears the garden trees to make flying flowers.
Kong Wanqiu paced back and forth outside the palace, unable to hide her apprehension. At this time, I suddenly felt a chill on my cheeks, and looked up, it was because of the snowflakes. The snowflakes kept drifting on the face, hitting the hard, and although I was more awake because of the cold, I didn't have the heart to enjoy the snow. After about half an hour, there was a dense sound from inside the house, from far and near, like thunder. Kong Wanqiu's pretty face turned white in an instant, and it seemed to be the sound of a musket!
Kong Wanqiu pressed the wall with her right hand and jumped on the wall, looked into the palace, and vaguely saw a figure rushing towards her, followed by a group of people and horses swarming up, everyone holding muskets, greeting the person, and three people stepped on the eaves of the inner mansion in three places to surround the person, and looked at his orthodox shape and must be a good practitioner. Fortunately, it was as dark as ink at this time, and the man was ghostly, so he was safe for a while. When the man got closer, Kong Wanqiu could see clearly, it was He Xuxing.
There was still half a mile away from the wall of the outer mansion, He Xuxing raised his eyes and saw Kong Wanqiu standing on the wall vividly, although he couldn't see her expression clearly, he could also guess the anxiety in her heart. He Xuxing made a retreat gesture, Kong Wanqiu immediately understood, her right sleeve was lightly extended, and a section of Bai Lian shot towards He Xuxing steadily, He Xuxing stretched out his hand and fished out, only to feel a soft force coming from Bai Lian, and his body involuntarily floated towards the wall.
The two of them left the palace, Kong Wanqiu caught a glimpse of He Xuxing's pale face, and hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?" He Xuxing shook his head, "There is a master, hurry up." The two of them didn't say much, their luck was condensed, and they turned into a straight line and went away, and three good players came out of the palace and always hung behind the two, but it was difficult to get rid of for a while.
Kong Wanqiu held back the doubts in her heart, and just dragged He Xuxing to the place where there were more and more people, after the tea effort, the flow of people gradually increased, and then Xu Xu, the voices of people were boiling, shoulder to shoulder, and it was difficult to move forward quickly. At this time, the goose-feather snow has fallen, but there is not a trace of chill here, and the ground is not covered with snow, and it is even unusually dry. If it weren't for the snow covering the pedestrians' coats, if it weren't for the pine trees that had bent the snow, if it weren't for the occasional chilling wind from the sound of boiling people, no one would have dared to believe that the snow had already scattered and poured down.
Kong Wanqiu dragged He Xuxing to keep pushing away the crowd in front of her, and when she looked back, she saw three good men in the palace rushing towards this side with shouts, and the crowd was chaotic for a moment. Kong Wanqiu looked around, her heart moved, the corners of her mouth curved into a wicked smile, and she dragged He Xuxing in one direction.
He Xuxing followed Kong Wanqiu for a while, and suddenly felt bursts of fragrant fragrance coming from the tip of his nose, mixed with a little ambiguity and charm. Kong Wanqiu let go of her wrist at this time, clapped her hands, and said briskly, "It's safe now." He Xuxing resisted the urge to run away, and when he looked at it, his face was red and his ears were red.
The Prince's Mansion Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, capable people come out in large numbers, tracking He Kong is the three good hands in the palace who are famous for their light skills, and they were once the heroes of the powerful side in the rivers and lakes, and they are in the prime of life, but it is difficult to find the trace of the two people here. The three of them were in one place, considering that this was a prosperous place in the capital, and the dignitaries and nobles all had a habit of playing in disguise, so they could only visit secretly but could not detect it, and they were looking for a good place to warm up a pot of good wine to warm their bodies, and they dispersed after whispering a few words.
He Xuxing was half a step behind Kong Wanqiu, and looked around cautiously, but when he saw Ying Geyan smiling, he lowered his head in fright. Kong Wanqiu looked around, but saw that her lips were blooming with cherry blossoms, her waist was slender, she had a good character, she was lonely and narcissistic, she gently pulled her sleeves and her eyebrows were raised, and she also half-exposed her arms and gently shook the sandalwood fan to cover her face. He Xuxing gently tugged at Kong Wanqiu's sleeve, lowered his head and asked, "What kind of place is this, so strange?" Kong Wanqiu smiled, "This is Cuiyi Garden!" "What is Cuiyi Garden doing?" Kong Wanqiu said with a straight face, "The paradise called a man is actually a hell for women, the source of the collapse of the world."
He Xuxing raised his head boldly, and suddenly felt a pain in his eyes. He Xuxing comforted himself, thinking that it was because he hadn't eaten vegetables for a long time and had opened the eye of a needle. At this time, a rather unelegant poem popped up in my mind.
The snow lamp on his chest shines obliquely, and the peach blossom wine under his eyes is half-drunk.
