Section 10 The Swordsman's Pathos
After a sword, flying sand and stones, not a single inch of grass grows, this is the power of the sword. In fact, Edgeworth's principle is the same as being a human being, if a person can be pure in heart and few desires, focusing on any one thing will be rewarding. The same is true for sword practice, if you focus on the improvement of swordsmanship and ignore any wind and grass around you, then such a person's swordsmanship will definitely be surprisingly high. In fact, he doesn't have to be in the wind and grass at all, because any movement related to it will only be sent by himself, and the sword will control the people first, and the only person who controls himself will become a master of swordsmanship.
Yue Mingshan had already become an old man with gray temples at this time, his face was full of wrinkles, although he was only over fifty years, he was too old, presumably due to hard work. Back then, Wu Zixu passed the Zhao Pass and turned white overnight, and now Yue Mingshan is sitting alone on the mountain, lamenting his pitiful life.
More than 20 years ago, he was a sword maniac admired by everyone, but more than 20 years later, he has become an unknown old man. There is no longer the heroic spirit of the past between his eyebrows and eyes, only the scars of the years, holding a cane in his hand, and from time to time he knocks a few times on the stones on the ground, making a muffled thumping sound, so that he can feel that he is still alive and can change some things around him.
"Daddy, the boy is back." A young man climbed to the top of the mountain and shouted at Yue Mingshan. That's right, this is his child, Yue Shufan, the people of the rivers and lakes would not have thought that the sword maniac who was invincible back then would be so bookish when he named his child. Shu Fan, Shu Fan, neither wants him to practice martial arts, nor does he want him to be extraordinary, maybe this is Yue Mingshan After reflecting on his life, he learned from the pain, and thought that he still wanted to be an ordinary person.
However, it backfired. Shu Fan has not been interested in Lile poetry since he was a child, but he is very fascinated by weapons and martial arts, especially swordsmanship, he listened to Yue Lun, the great housekeeper of the fast sword gate when he was a child, talk about the heroic deeds of Yue Mingshan, so he worshiped his father, and even more, he was determined to become a person like his father since he was a child.
This has to be traced back to more than 20 years ago, since the battle with Li Luojie, after returning from the Tianshan Mountains, Yue Mingshan has been closed, and no longer wants to get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the big and small things in the door are taken care of by Yue Lun, so far the world-famous fast sword gate began to gradually decline, Yue Lun is Yue Mingshan's cousin, this person is not talented, although the swordsmanship is also very superb, but can no longer revitalize the fast sword gate.
The family saw that Yue Mingshan was depressed all day, so they thought about finding a good family for him, so as to divert his attention and cheer him up again. Every man who becomes a relative will become mature, Yue Mingshan is no exception, his wife is the world-famous second miss of Baicaozhai, Tong Muzhi's sister Tong Qian'er.
Baicaozhai has a particularly good reputation in the Southern Dynasties, and often provides free medical treatment for the local poor people, so its children are very respected. Tong Qian'er is also smiling and smiling, her eyes are moving, and there is naturally an endless stream of people who come to ask for relatives, which can be described as a market. There are many dignitaries and dignitaries among the people who come to ask for relatives, but Tong Muzhi lost his father since he was a child, and his mother was tired of the flattery and intrigues of the people in the court, but envied the happiness and freedom of the people in the rivers and lakes, and was bold and natural. Therefore, at that time, the Kuaijian Gate in the southeast of the Megatron came to propose marriage, and this family affair was settled early.
After getting married, Yue Mingshan, who practiced swords behind closed doors all day, gradually let go of his obsession with the long sword in his hand, because his wife Tong Qian'er gave birth to a big fat boy for him, which broke the Yue family's family and feasted guests for three days. Yue Mingshan was also very happy, looking at his crying son in his arms, and suddenly he felt that the sword in his hand was no longer so important, but the child in his arms and the wife lying on the couch were more important. At this point, he put down the long sword in his hand.
A swordsman, if he puts down the long sword in his hand one day, then his end must be a tragedy. Time passed like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye, Yue Shufan was already an eight-year-old child, Yue Mingshan taught him to read and study all day long, but he didn't gain much, and by chance found that his son was particularly obsessed with swordsmanship, just like him. gave birth to a son, Mo Ruo's father, Yue Mingshan could only sigh bitterly, and from then on, let Xiao Shufan follow Yue Lun to practice swords, while he watched the falling flowers and shared his family with his wife Tong Qian'er in the fast sword gate.
However, since the decline of Kuaijianmen, there have been enemies who have come to the door to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, Yue Mingshan swore in front of his wife that he would never pick up the sword at hand again, so Yue Lun is responsible for everything big and small, so Kuaijianmen's family property is almost wiped out. At that time, Yue Lun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and secretly thought in his heart: Why did he have to let me repay the trouble caused by Yue Mingshan! He was happy to be at ease.
In fact, Yue Lun has long had an idea about Yue Mingshan's wife Tong Qian'er, after all, she is a fairy-like woman, even if she has been married for eight or nine years, she can't hide the seductive smell on her body, especially her eyes, no man can resist her eyes, these are a pair of eyes that make people sin. On this day, Yue Lun made up his mind, on the one hand, he asked him to discuss important matters in the name of Yue Mingshan's brother-in-law Tong Muzhi, and on the other hand, he colluded with Yue Mingshan's former enemies and arranged more than 20 top killers at the restaurant where he went, all of whom were Yue Mingshan's former enemies. Yue Lun promised that this move would definitely avenge this group of people. And he himself went to Yue Mingshan's house and wanted to do something wrong to Tong Qian'er, where did Tong Qian'er think that Yue Lun was such a villain, wanting to resist but having no power to restrain the chicken, seeing that he was about to succeed, at this time Yue Shufan came back and hit a square.
Yue Shufan saw his mother crying there in disheveled clothes, although he didn't understand anything, he also knew that Yue Lun on the side had bullied his mother, so he rushed forward and punched Yue Lun. Yue Lun was forced to be anxious, and kicked Yue Shufan in the stomach, he is a swordsman who has been famous for many years, but Yue Shufan is just an eight-year-old child, where can he afford this kick. At that time, Yue Shufan vomited blood and lay on the ground. Yue Lun took out the sword in his hand and walked towards Yue Shufan, Tong Qian'er was shocked when she saw this, and she didn't care about anything else, she hugged him behind Yue Lun's back, and shouted: "Fan'er, run!" No matter how Yue Lun struggles, Tong Qian'er's hands will not let go, people are forced to be in a hurry, no matter how much strength will come out, Tong Qian'er, who seems to be weak on weekdays, is helpless at this time.
Yue Shufan's teeth itched with hatred in his heart, he rushed over with his chest covered, and bit Yue Lun's calf tightly, Yue Lun screamed in pain, and he couldn't shake off Yue Shufan, so he had to hang down the sword in his hand, and stabbed at Yue Shufan ruthlessly, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Tong Qian'er stepped forward and just blocked Yue Shufan, and the sword pierced into Tong Qian'er's arms in front of Yue Shufan. The hot blood flowed half of her body in an instant, and Tong Qian'er was still holding Yue Lun's long sword tightly in her hand, for fear that he would stab Yue Shufan.
Yue Shufan was dumbfounded, his mother, who was gentle and dignified on weekdays, was now embarrassed and bloody, and the serious master on weekdays was now cruel and unkind, killing his mother. Things in the world are changing so fast, and the only thing that doesn't change is what you do with your own heart.
Yue Lun took out his long sword, and without waiting for Tong Qian'er to leave his last words, he grabbed Yue Shufan's shirt and wanted to attack Yue Shufan on the side, it was obvious that Yue Shufan had become meat on the board at this time. At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was knocked open, and a middle-aged man covered in blood broke in, it was Yue Mingshan who went to the appointment! Yue Mingshan was not surprised when he saw the scene in front of him, he already knew that this was a conspiracy when he killed the twenty or so killers, so he rushed back non-stop. It's just that he didn't dare to face it, face the death of his wife, and face the betrayal of his brother. Seeing that his son was about to be slaughtered again, he shouted: "Stop! When Yue Lun heard this, his hanging heart that had been beating faster when he had killed Tong Qian's childhood by mistake, turned his head to look out of the door, and standing in the courtyard was Yue Mingshan, who was a sword maniac in the past and a dog who lost his family today.
Yue Lun let go of Yue Shufan's clothes, walked towards Yue Mingshan, and sneered: "Cousin! I really didn't expect it! You're still alive, and the sword in your hand? After so many years, you haven't picked up a sword and killed so many martial arts masters in one go, how did you do it? Yue Mingshan's eyes were full of blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was blood or tears, yes, no one knew how a hand who had never held a sword for eight years killed these twenty or so martial arts masters.
Yue Mingshan raised his trembling right hand, pointed at Yue Lun and shouted angrily, "Get out!" Yue Lun was a little panicked, after all, he was facing an invincible sword maniac, but he also pretended to be calm and strode out, and said with a smile: "Yue Mingshan, can you still pick up a sword with this hand?" Do you think your current sword speed can catch up with me? No one has a bottom in his heart, only Yue Mingshan knows that at this time, he is no match for Yue Lun, because he has left more than 30 sword wounds and knife wounds on his body, especially the three ribs that were kicked and broken, and now they are stuck in his chest. As long as he forcibly exerts force, these three ribs will poke into his lung lobe and chest cavity, and if he wants to recover at that time, I am afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Yue Lun didn't know his condition, thinking that he had picked up the sword again, thinking that he was still like back then, and he would be able to defeat himself within fifty moves, so he didn't dare to act rashly. had to escort Yue Shufan behind him, the anger in Yue Mingshan's heart suddenly turned into cowardice, the only hope in this world that can let him live is his son. The long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, Yue Lun laughed, the blade of the sword pointed directly at Yue Mingshan, and shouted: "Unload one of your arms, and your son will return it to you!" ”
Yue Shufan only came to his senses at this time, it was really a wave of unevenness, seeing that his father picked up the long sword on the ground and was about to cut off his arm, Yue Shufan really couldn't bear it, taking advantage of Yue Lun's unconcerned kung fu, his right foot kicked heavily on Yue Lun's foot, he didn't react, Yue Shufan punched Yue Lun's wrist again, and the long sword fell to the ground with a bang, Yue Lun was furious and wanted to catch him, Yue Shufan had already escaped at this time and ran into the distance. Yue Mingshan also took advantage of this opportunity to rush over at this time, no one saw it, his long sword came out of his hand, and stabbed deeply into Yue Lun's left shoulder.
