The distance between Jinling and Luoyang is more than 1,000 miles, and it will take half a month to get there, but now there is still half a year before Lei Qingshan's appointment on the third day of the ninth month, so Lu Yi and Li Mubai are not in a hurry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mubai wandered the rivers and lakes and had no fixed place, Lu Yi originally planned to go to Bashu Tianfu through Zhongnan Mountain to find the whereabouts of the Chengying Sword, but then he thought that the master had said that his mother was the sister of the current head of the Jinling Ning family, "riding the wind and waves" Ning Chengfeng, and after his parents were in distress, the uncle he had never met turned a deaf ear, so he decided to go to Jinling to find out and solve the mystery of the past.

And in Lu Yi's heart, there is always a lingering shadow, as if guiding him to Jinling.

As soon as the two agreed slightly, they decided to go to Jinling together, one was to go to Lei Qingshan's appointment, and the other was to see the five-year Jinling Xuanwu Festival on the day of the Double Ninth Festival.

Li Mubai was worried about the wine in the drunken immortal building, and Lu Yi was eager to find out the grievances and grievances between his mother and uncle.

Although there were horses instead of foot strength, Lu Yi and the others were not in a hurry, but decided to travel all the way to Jinling and slowly rush to Jinling.

I don't know if it's because all the bones were charred and unrecognizable after the fire at the Grand Hyatt Inn, or because the other party didn't expect the two to go to Jinling.

However, the two were not idle, and along the way, Lu Yi also heard a lot of famous things in the rivers and lakes from Li Mubai's mouth, especially the situation of the Jinling Xuanwu Festival.

The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory, a vast land, and an endless stream of capable people, and the rise and change of the rivers and lakes were endless.

Taizu was born in troubled times, he had been in the Ming Sect, after the expulsion of Mongol rule, the word "Ming" in the name of the country is said to have come from the Ming Sect, and after ascending to the pole, the power of the Ming Sect expanded rapidly, Taizu was afraid that it would endanger the Zhu family, so he ordered the dissolution of the Ming Sect, and those who dared not obey were killed, and the Ming Sect quickly went to ruin, some of them fled to the Western Regions, and the other part turned into secret activities, and changed its name to the White Lotus Sect, still with the red fire and white lotus as the holy object in the sect.

After the collapse of Mingjiao, the rivers and lakes were even more turbulent, and various sects and factions used to call themselves Central Plains martial arts or Jiangnan martial arts with the Yangtze River as the boundary.

The Central Plains martial arts is headed by the long-standing martial arts Taishan Beidou Shaolin faction, and gathers large and small sects and families in Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan and other places, and its reputation is very strong; The Jiangnan martial arts are respected by the Wudang faction, and the major families and sects such as Jinling, Suzhou, and Hongdu will be allied, and the Central Plains martial arts will echo each other.

After nearly a hundred years of peace and quiet, until the change of the civil fort, the Beijing division was besieged, the Ming Dynasty was crumbling, at this time, the first master of the rivers and lakes "Kyushu Yanyu" Lu Jiuzhou was loyal to the order of Su Gong Yu Qian, in Luoyang City ascended a shout, the establishment of the Kyushu Juyi League.

In less than half a year, Kyushu gathered righteousness and returned to the heart of the four seas, and all factions in the rivers and lakes were attached to each other, and the Kyushu Juyi League was in the limelight for a while, and its reputation was like the sky.

However, the good times did not last long, Lu Jiuzhou died tragically in the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, the Kyushu Juyi Alliance collapsed, and the martial arts of the rivers and lakes returned to chaos.

At this time, the Central Plains martial arts were quite stable under the command of the abbot of the Shaolin faction, Dayu Zen Master, but the various factions in the Western Regions rose up one after another, and the prestige of the Nujian Gate in the land of Qinchuan was growing, but the large and small sects in the land of Jingshi were reduced to the minions and lackeys of the factory and the guard.

In order to calm down the disputes in the rivers and lakes and rebuild the order of the martial arts, the new head of the Jinling Ning family "rode the wind and waves" Ning Chengfeng to post a heroic post, and invited the Jiangnan martial arts colleagues to gather on the shore of Jinling Xuanwu Lake on September 9, the Double Ninth Festival, to meet friends with martial arts, to convince people with virtue, and to elect people with good kung fu and character, who are the leaders of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance, and this grand event is called "Jinling Xuanwu Festival" by the people of the rivers and lakes because it is held on the shore of Xuanwu Lake.

In order to reflect fairness and justice, the families of each sect also decided that the Xuanwu Festival would be held once every five years, and the term of office of the leader of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance was also five years, of course, if the ability was strong, he could be re-elected, such as the current Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance Leader Ning Chengfeng, who had been re-elected for two terms.

At that time, Ning Chengfeng brought peerless magic skills and defeated several masters such as Suzhou Yanziji Murong Family, Shuzhong Tangmen, Nangong Family, Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall, etc., and won the throne of the first martial arts alliance leader in one fell swoop, which also established the status of the first family in Jiangnan of the Ning family.

However, although Ning Chengfeng is known as the leader of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance, his appeal is not the same as that of Lu Jiuzhou twenty years ago, not to mention the Wusizang controlled by Tantra, Yunnan controlled by the Mu family, and the various departments of Miaojiang, even the side of the couch and the Wangjiang Tower on the bank of the Jinling River can give Ning Chengfeng a headache.

Jiangnan Wulin Baidao is headed by the Ning family, and almost all of the underworld is subdued by Wangjianglou, although the black and white are not yet to the point where water and fire are incompatible, but saber rattling and constant friction are unavoidable.

In addition to the election of the leader of the martial arts league at the Jinling Xuanwu Festival, there are two things that are the most eye-catching, the first is to select the seven major schools, and the second is to select the best young heroes within five years.

According to Li Mubai's meaning, Lu Yi went to Jinling, and simply stirred up some peace at the Jinling Xuanwu Festival, and won the title of this Jiangnan prince with great confidence in his kung fu.

Lu Yi began to practice martial arts with his master "Sword Saint" Wu Hanjiang at the age of five, and also learned Wu Hanjiang's attitude of indifferent to fame and fortune, and he was not interested in "Jiangnan Gongzi" or anything, so he directly refused Li Mubai's instigation.

At dawn, after Gao Jianfeng left, Wu Hanjiang stopped at the nearest ferry wharf, and took Yu Xin to abandon the ship and go to land, after a night of thrilling experience, Yu Xin A weak woman was already a little tired, just took this opportunity to rest.

After going ashore, the two of them knew that this place was called Jinkou Ferry, and the town next to it was called Huixing Town, which was the necessary ferry port for the transfer of materials between Shanxi and Henan, the town was not very big, and the ferry was not very wide, but the people and boats were also busy.

Wu Hanjiang pointed to the tea shed and said to Xin: "Virtuous niece, it's still early, and it is estimated that most of the shops in the town have not yet opened, so we will take a break in this tea shed, drink tea and rest for a while, and then go to the town to buy two horses and hurry?" ”

Yu Xin's life is very simple, and she doesn't think this tea shed is very simple, so she nodded lightly and said: "Everything depends on Uncle Wu, Xin'er listens to your arrangement." ”

Wu Hanjiang laughed, strode to the tea shed, found a table at the intersection, reached out to pat the dust off the stool and sat down, Yu Xin sat down on his left hand side, and picked up two rough porcelain bowls from the table.

The tea shed has just opened, the hot coarse tea has just been boiled, the laborers are busy picking up the goods on the first ship in the morning, asking for a good start, and no one is drinking tea in the tea shed. Our store has just entered a batch of good Longjing, do you want to try it? ”

Wu Hanjiang smiled and waved his hand: "Croppers are not blessed to enjoy such good tea, just have a pot of the cheapest coarse tea here." ”

The shopkeeper said flatteringly: "The old gentleman looked at what you said, just now I saw you at first sight and found that you are extraordinary, definitely not an ordinary family, although our roadside tea shed is in poor condition, but you can't lose your identity, right?" ”

"Little second brother, you not only have a good eye, but also very good at speaking, it's too wronged to deign to sell coarse tea here." Wu Hanjiang looked at Cha Xiaoer with a smile and said.

Cha Xiaoer's body shook, the towel on his shoulder almost fell off, he hurriedly caught it and smiled: "What did you say, old man, I live in this town when I am my age, what else can I do if I don't sell tea here?" What is there that is not wronged? ”

Wu Hanjiang said: "Little second brother, why don't I hear that you don't look like you're from Henan Mansion, but like you're from Yongping." ”

"Is there one?" Cha Xiaoer was taken aback, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Mr. You're ready for tea, I'll send it to you later." Then he left in a hurry.

Wu Hanjiang looked at Cha Xiaoer's hurried departure, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

Yu Xin had been carefully observing the movements around him, and when he saw Wu Hanjiang's expression, he quietly looked at him.

Wu Hanjiang stretched out his hand to write a word on the table, and then quickly erased it, and after Cha Xiaoer brought a pot of hot tea, he smiled, pointed to the bench on the right hand and said, "Little second brother, come and sit down and talk for a while, we just have something to ask you about." ”

Cha Xiaoer diligently poured a bowl of tea for Wu Hanjiang and Yu Xin, pushed the tea bowl in front of Wu Hanjiang, bowed down and said with a smile: "Old man, you drink tea first, just ask if you have any questions, as long as I know, I must know everything, and I will say everything." ”

Wu Hanjiang nodded, picked up the tea bowl and brought it to his mouth, and suddenly his wrist flipped, and a bowl of hot tea turned into a water sword, flying towards Cha Xiaoer with lightning speed.

When Cha Xiaoer saw Wu Hanjiang bring the tea bowl to his mouth, his heart was suddenly happy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, but he suddenly saw a water sword flying with a sneering sword qi, he was suddenly taken aback, and hurriedly kicked on the table in front of him, and rolled on a donkey on the ground, and avoided it in embarrassment.

Wu Hanjiang laughed lightly twice, and with a sudden force of his right hand, the tea bowl in his hand became dozens of fragments of different sizes, his left hand gently patted and pushed on the table, blocking the trend of the table colliding, and with a sudden wave of his right hand, dozens of sharp fragments roared towards Cha Xiaoer.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Cha Xiaoer suddenly laughed strangely, and the clothes on his body suddenly burst open, just in time to meet the fragments of the tea bowl, only to hear a few "poofs", and the fragments were exhausted, falling less than an inch in front of him.

At this time, Cha Xiaoer was like a different person, except for the bright red color on his mouth, his whole body was covered in white, the clothes on his body were white and snowy, and even his skin, hair and eyebrows were white and terrifying.

Wu Hanjiang seemed to have recognized the identity of the man in white, and smiled lightly: "Sure enough, it's you." ”
