Chapter 7 Spring River Boat 1
Li Yutang did not speak again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Obviously, Feng Tong's question also made him puzzled. Although he is the leader of the Alliance, he does not have the ability to predict the future. And after many things have happened, if you want to investigate further, some key clues may be erased.
Huang Jinsheng's gaze stopped on Feng Tong for a moment, and then he "coughed", took out a thin roll from his sleeve, handed it to Li Yutang, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, the horse harness commissioned by your league has been built, this is a price list that I asked the people below to draft according to the price of fine iron and red gold on the market. ”
He turned the subject very stiffly, but it was timely. Because everyone knows that even if the issue of Zhao Zongtai's death is discussed, there will be no results.
Li Yutang took the price list, opened it and looked at it twice, his face changed, and he continued to look at it, and the whole person almost jumped up, shouting: "This... So expensive?! ”
Immediately, he seemed to realize his gaffe, lowered his voice, and said in a negotiable tone: "This price...... It's too unreasonable, for example, these pairs of 'Xuanjia' are priced at a hundred taels of silver, which is enough to buy a little bit of 'Yunchuchuan'. ”
Huang Jinsheng spread his hands, and seemed a little helpless: "Brother, don't you know, now that the war is about to start, some clans are buying these two materials, so that they can go back to build equipment, and the price will naturally rise." ”
He smiled smirkedly: "But don't worry, brother, in the second batch of horse harnesses, we have launched the 'Mu Wang Eight Horses' and 'Yellow Gate Four Horses' series, using high-quality leather instead of armor, and the price is much lower." The so-called buying and selling is free, and the abundance is simple by people......"
He's completely changed back to that profiteer's face. Feng Tong's face was full of black lines, and he mourned silently for leaving Yutang in his heart, so he took his leave first.
Huang Jinsheng didn't keep it, and Li Yutang looked depressed, obviously because of the headache of the price, so he only bowed his hand to him and said that Lord Feng was going well.
Feng Tong withdrew from the room, but did not return to Yunshan, but went straight down to Xingchao Tower. Yan Yang followed behind him, and when he arrived on Chengxi Street, he narrowed the distance between the two and said in a low voice: "You believe what Li Yutang said, right?" ”
Feng Tong walked slowly in the direction of Qingbo Gate, and replied slowly: "I said when I was in Anmin Division, Liyutang is not the primary object of suspicion. In the conversation just now, he was thinking exactly what he expected -- I'd like to hear your opinion. ”
He quietly pushed the question back, Yan Yang made a thinking gesture, and then showed his signature smile and said: "I always feel that with his realm, there is no need to lie." ”
Feng Tong couldn't help but laugh dumbly, people with high martial arts skills won't lie, what is the reason? But Yan Yang didn't mean to joke on his face, he curled his index finger and pressed it against his chin and said: "The reason why people tell lies, whether they are good or malicious, is just to avoid the consequences of telling the truth, the difference is only that this consequence is acting on themselves or others." If a person is not afraid of any consequences, there is no need for him to tell a lie, is it true? ”
Feng Tong chewed his words carefully, and didn't seem to find a problem, so he nodded in agreement.
Yan Yang continued: "It was said in "Sword Product" that sword cultivation is at the extreme, sword strength is tied to the state of mind, and the success or failure of the sword is determined by the height of the heart. Among them, it is divided into three products, the first product sword heart is like one, the momentum is like a white rainbow, and there is no return. The swordsman who has reached this product has no haze in his state of mind. And Liyutang has already reached the third grade, if he is still afraid, he will naturally not be able to reach this realm. ”
Feng Tong suddenly became interested, this was the first time he had heard such a statement. Since the age of ten, he has been self-taught in martial arts, and the only thing he can refer to is a few manuscripts left by his father. His swordsmanship is passable, but it is the result of more than ten years of hard training and talent, as well as a little luck.
He asked with great interest: "You said "Sword Product", what is it?" ”
Yan Yang looked at him with a strange expression and said, "This is a book written, which has been widely circulated and is no less famous than "Weapon Spectrum". He is the most knowledgeable person in the rivers and lakes, and according to the vision of many years of knowing people and things, the warriors in the rivers and lakes are graded. Although the exposition in it is extended by the sword, it is applicable to all martial arts in the world. ”
He paused, and there seemed to be some doubt in his tone: "It's just this book...... It was listed as a banned book many years ago, and it is no longer circulating in the market. ”
Feng Tong looked at him like a treasure, and his tone revealed longing: "I want to hear it in detail." ”
"I think that there are many swordsmen in the world, there is a difference between the north and the south, and there is a difference in skill, but none of them are out of the three realms of learning swords, testing swords, and heart swords. Among them, there are nine grades of learning swords, five grades of trial swords, and three grades of heart swords. The heart sword is the top, and those who can reach this level are all famous characters who have been famous for a long time on the rivers and lakes; Xi Jian is the bottom, and in his own words, 'under the nine sections, it is unbearable'. ”
Feng Tong couldn't help but quip: "This old man is really strange, since it is so unbearable, why should it be divided into nine grades?" ”
"This is exactly where his cleverness lies, although the realm of sword practice is low, it includes nine out of ten people in the world."
As Yan Yang spoke, his eyes wandered through the streets west of the city, and after a while, he locked on to the two of them, and pointed his finger and said, "In your opinion, if the two of them fight, who can win?" ”
Feng Tong's gaze then probed and saw the direction of his fingers, a person wearing a linen short coat, wrapped in tiger-striped leather pants, brass and shoulder straps made of brass, carrying a seven-foot-long mulberry bow, and a pair of arrow belts tied around his waist, showing that he was a hunter. And the other man, with a square scarf on his head, and a moon-white dress, was shining, and he looked full of book fragrance from a distance, needless to say that he was a scribe.
Without thinking, he replied, "Of course the one who hunts will win." ”
"Ordinary people think of it this way, the hunters wander the mountains all the year round, dealing with wild beasts such as deer and lynx, while the scribes only use their pens and are powerless to tie the chickens." Yan Yang smiled playfully: "But have you ever thought that whether it is Orion or a scribe, they are not real people in the rivers and lakes, and it is very likely that they have not learned martial arts, even if Orion shows more strength and body skills, they can only take advantage of it." ”
Feng Tong immediately understood: "And in the rivers and lakes, there are many masters who have no power to restrain chickens, and even have disabled limbs, who can kill people invisibly with hidden weapons." ”
Yan Yang said: "That's right, there is no absolute difference between strength and weakness in the realm of sword practice, at best, there is a difference between this hunter and the scribe in the development of human potential. If it is a real duel, it is also more likely to be affected by external factors, which makes the outcome unpredictable. ”
"Above the nine sections of the sword, it is called the five realms of the sword. The sharp edge is beginning to appear, and it is difficult to be sharp, which is a sharp sword; Take the enemy's first opportunity, the picture is fast and not broken, it is a fast sword; Gracefully wandering, flying like a dragon, is for the flying sword; If God uses his breath, like an arm making a finger, it is a divine sword; The intention is the sword first, and the sword goes from the heart, which is the intention of the sword. ”
He didn't explain much, but Feng Tong had his own comprehension: "This is the process of making a sword with form to making a sword with a heart?" ”
Yan Yang was slightly surprised, nodded and continued: "The next one is the Heart Sword Triple Heaven. The sword heart is like one, the momentum is like a white rainbow, and there is no return; The sword heart does not move, the momentum is like autumn water, and the collapse of Yue is not shocked; The heart of the sword is clear, the momentum is like blowing snow, and every inch is clear. ”
Feng Tong pondered: "There are many capable people in the rivers and lakes, such as Liyutang, who is enough to disturb the world, but it has not reached the peak, and there is no higher grade above the blowing snow?" ”
"Perhaps, but those people haven't done it for a long time, and the grade is naturally difficult to assess. For example, Liyutang has always been regarded as the weakest of the four alliances, and the rivers and lakes have commented that it has blood and bravery, who would have thought that it has reached the third grade of the heart sword. What's more, after "Sword Products" was banned, it also disappeared, and future generations can't see him, so how can they add or delete it in vain? ”
At this time, he suddenly remembered something and said, "But back then, Gongzi Yu only used the power of one person to provoke the Heavenly Palace with his sword and kill Fang Longxiang, who had achieved great achievements. Zeng Yan said that his martial arts were to the realm of transformation above the Triple Heaven of the Heart Sword. ”
Feng Tong smiled and said, "Among the forbidden army of the imperial court, there are quite a few people with superb martial arts, but I don't know what is the evaluation of them in "Sword Products"? ”
Yan Yang's face changed, and he said with some caution: "How do you know that there is an evaluation of these people in "Sword Product"? ”
Feng Tong put his arm on his shoulder and said affirmatively: "Listen to what you just said, what is written in "Sword Product" is just some views on kendo martial arts, and it is really unbelievable that such a book will be banned by the imperial court - so the biggest possibility is that there are some records in the book, which damage the majesty and interests of the imperial court." ”
"Since the previous dynasty, the world has been divided, and the rivers and lakes have no one to restrain them. However, in the years when the Blue Dragon Society was at its strongest, Bai Yujing did not dare to clash head-on with the imperial court, and was very afraid of the power of the forbidden army. It is rumored that the martial arts of the Imperial Dragon Guardian are unfathomable, no less than any master of the Four Alliances and Eight Desolations today, it doesn't matter whether they have such strength or not, as long as they maintain their mystery, it is an invisible deterrent, so that the forces of the rivers and lakes do not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool——"
After listening to his analysis, Yan Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Lord Feng is really smart. ”
"Yes, in the second half of "Sword Products", the forces in the world are divided, although they are not deeply involved, they have touched the hole cards of the imperial court to some extent. Three of the top ten dragon guards were rated as grades, and Jian Li, who had always been considered the number one master in the Ouchi, seemed to be even inferior to Tang Qingfeng, who had just emerged at that time, which really hurt the face of the imperial court. ”
His tone became cautious: "But that's it, at the end of the book, he even has some comments on the first emperor." ”
