Chapter 1: The Snow of Spring
In the spring of 176 AD, Zhang Xian accepted Shang Yun and Zhang Yi as apprentices. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After Zhang Xian led Su Mo and his granddaughter Zhang Yi and Shang Yun to bid farewell to everyone, he took the Feiyun bamboo slip and came all the way to the west.
When I arrived in this Fufeng Maoling County, it happened to encounter heavy snowfall.
Zhang Xian thought that he couldn't fly with this Feiyun Jian in the heavy snow, and besides, it was getting late and everyone was tired, so it was better to stay in Maoling County for one night first, and then go to the road tomorrow.
Zhang Xian was afraid that ordinary people would see their flying skills and disturb the people, so he dropped this flying cloud in the mountains and forests ten miles away from Maoling County.
As soon as he landed, Zhang Yi ran happily.
"Senior brother, look, it's snowing!"
Shang Yun's little face was also red from the cold, and he stretched out his hand to receive a falling snowflake from the air, only to feel that the tentacles were cold for a while, but maybe it was because of the evil fire on his body, but he felt a little comfortable.
When he raised his eyes again, Zhang Yi had already run away.
"Yi'er, you run slowly, don't fall." Zhang Xian said with concern, and sighed helplessly, thinking that he really had no way to take this granddaughter.
"Come on," Zhang Yi circled in the distance, then beckoned to them, seeing that a few people were walking too slowly and trotting back.
"Senior brother, look, it's so beautiful......" Zhang Yi came to Shang Yun, put something together with his palms, and carefully held it in front of Shang Yun.
Shang Yun looked down, and saw that on the palm of Zhang Yi's hand, there was an ice crystal leaf, thinking that the dew on it had not melted, so it met the snow and condensed into ice, and the veins on it could be clearly seen in the transparency.
Zhang Yi held it up in the air with a smile, only to see the sunlight shining through the wind and snow, and falling on her face from between the ice crystal leaves, like a beautiful mole on her forehead.
And Zhang Yi's face was frozen red by the snowstorm, reflecting the snow, which was very good-looking.
"yes, it's beautiful." Shang Yun also sighed, but he didn't know if he was talking about this ice crystal leaf or this person.
"Really?" Zhang Yi laughed, a pair of eyes bent into two crescents, "It is said that many ancients used mountain snow water to boil tea, thinking that it should be a holy thing, I don't know how this ice crystal leaf tastes." ”
Shang Yun was taken aback, this little junior sister was full of thoughts and didn't know what she was thinking, and after a while, she came up with some surprising and strange theories.
Zhang Yi thought that it would be a one, and he didn't care about anything else, so he took the ice crystal leaves into his mouth.
"Uh-huh," the little girl nodded repeatedly, "it's cold, with a hint of sweetness." Brother, you should also go find a slice and taste it. ”
After speaking, she ran away, looking only for the trees that could be obtained, and picking for leaves that were more beautiful to froze.
"Senior brother, why don't we come to the competition to see who finds the biggest and most beautiful ice leaf!"
Shang Yun listened to her, and on a whim, he ran with her.
……
Behind him, Zhang Xian looked at their backs, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, thinking that this Shang Yun is usually smart and sensible, after all, he is also a child, and there are always some children in it.
Zhang Xian followed them step by step, only to hear the laughter in front of him, and his heart was also happy.
……
Shang Yun found a big tree, and saw that it was hanging down a little bit high, thinking that it was much lower by the snow, and there were many young leaves growing on it, one of which was frozen to be extremely full and smooth, like a beautiful jade, so he wanted to pick it.
However, he was small and short, and he couldn't reach it after jumping a few times.
Just when he was depressed and gave up, he only heard a gust of wind above his head, and a bright yellow figure flashed.
I saw that Su Mo was like a wind passing through a gap, and in a moment, he had already picked the leaf and stood on the branch at the other end.
"It's yours." Su Mo jumped down from it and fell lightly to the ground, like a snowflake, even if it was in the snow, he didn't step out of the slightest trace.
Shang Yun was surprised in his heart, this Sister Su Mo is so powerful.
But seeing Su Mo pinching the root of the ice crystal leaf with one hand, he sent it to Shang Yun.
"Thank you, Sister Su Mo." Shang Yun took the leaf, and sure enough, he felt that it was crystal clear and beautiful.
Su Mo lowered his eyes, shook his head lightly, didn't pay any attention to Shang Yun, plucked another leaf from the side, put it in the air and looked at it, and then put it in his mouth and held it.
Shang Yun glanced at her, and secretly said in his heart, this Sister Su Mo really likes to eat all kinds of things, and she dares to put it in her mouth regardless of whether what Senior Sister Zhang Yi said is true or not.
But seeing Su Mo walking forward with his sword, he picked a leaf from the tree and put it in his mouth, his expression was full of enjoyment.
Shang Yun laughed, took a look at the leaves in his hand, and found that the contact with his finger had melted slightly, remembering the bet with Senior Sister Zhang Yi just now, he thought that it would be better to make a comparison with her earlier.
When I raised my eyes to look again, I couldn't see Zhang Yi's figure anywhere, only to see that among the snowflakes in the sky, there was white everywhere, except for the sound of the wind, there was not even a human voice.
Shang Yun chuckled in his heart, thinking that this Senior Sister Zhang Yi didn't know where to go.
At this time, Zhang Xian caught up from behind, and he only muttered, "After all, he is old, and he can't compare to a young man......"
"Master, my sister is gone!" Shang Yun hurriedly reported to him, and his heart was anxious like adding fuel to the fire.
Who knew that Zhang Xian's face was pleasant, and he didn't panic at all, he only pointed to Su Mo who was standing on the branch in front of him and said, "Don't worry, Su Mo is watching." ”
Shang Yun saw Zhang Xian's calm and relaxed appearance, and then looked at Su Mo who was standing on the branch, he had seen Su Mo's skills in the past few days, and knew that he was with a unique skill, and he would never lose his junior sister, so he put his heart down.
"Xiao Yi'er fainted." Su Mo said lightly, his brows furrowed slightly, he flew down from the tree, and ran out for more than ten feet in an instant.
Seeing that she was nervous, Zhang Xian thought that something should have happened, so he also ran.
I saw Zhang Yi lying in the snow, being held in Su Mo's arms, and his face turned red.
Zhang Xian reached out and touched Zhang Yi's forehead, only to feel that his hand was hot for a while.
"Master, what's wrong with the little junior sister?"
"I guess it's a cold, and I'm hot," Zhang Xian looked around and said, "We have to find a place to stay." ”
"Guys, why don't you go to my house?"
As he was talking, he saw a man walking nearby, with a square face and a broad nose, a tall figure, carrying a load of firewood on his back and a wood-cutting axe in his hand.
Seeing this, Su Mo flew over, blocked in front of everyone, held the sword in his hand, pointed at him coldly, and said, "Be careful." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said, "The girl is so handsome, but I am not a bad person, I was chopping wood in the mountains just now, and I heard the laughter here, so I was curious to follow the sound, and saw that this little girl was innocent, dancing in circles in this snow, I only felt joy in my heart, but I was frightened of her, so I did not bother, who knew that she suddenly fainted, and I came here." I heard this old man say that he wanted to find a place to stay, and it happened that I was the only one in my house, although it was simple, but it could also shelter from the wind and snow, if you don't dislike it, please come to my house for a day of rest. ”
Zhang Xian listened to his sincere words, and then looked at his outfit, he didn't look like a bad person, so he motioned to Su Mo to put away his sword, and arched his hand, "I blamed the strong man just now, and I ask the strong man to forgive me, I came from other places, and I just met a strong man in Guibao Land, which is really fortunate." Under Zhang Xian, I don't know the name of the strong man? ”
The man also saluted Zhang Xian, "The old man doesn't have to call me a strong man, I really don't dare to be it, I'm just a woodcutter in this mountain, my surname is Ma Teng, the word Shoucheng, the old man just call me Ma Teng." ”
Zhang Xian nodded and said, "Little brother Ma Teng, then I'm sorry." ”
Ma Teng waved his hand again and again, and then he was modest with Zhang Xian, and led everyone towards Maoling City.
……
When they came to the house of Dematen, it was indeed very simple, as he had said, with only two wooden houses, a fence around them, and a few birds to keep.
At this time, it was close to the west mountain, and the halo was hazy, and I saw that a layer of golden snowflakes had fallen on the eaves of this house, which was very beautiful.
After entering the room, Zhang Xian placed his granddaughter on the couch, took out some winter clothes from the luggage to wrap her, covered it with Ma Teng's own sheets, and then wiped her forehead with her hands, still feeling slightly hot.
Ma Teng hurriedly lit the firewood, made a fire for breakfast, and made a brazier.
"There's the Rau Matten brothers." Zhang Xian thanked him.
"It's okay." Ma Teng spoke, and went into the kitchen.
Although the house is simple and does not leak wind, only the wind outside can be heard, but it seems to be extremely quiet inside.
Shang Yun sat on the ground, secretly worried about his junior sister in his heart, and then looked at the master's expression, he was also full of uneasiness, thinking that his junior sister's illness should not be light.
After a while, Ma Teng brought a few bowls of rice porridge and said in his mouth, "You have come from afar, so that Ma Teng's family is flourishing, but unfortunately the family is poor, there is nothing to entertain you, so let's eat some porridge." ”
"Thank you, thank you. It's us who bother," Zhang Xian thanked again and again, "Little brother Ma Teng is like a charcoal in the snow for us, and this kindness is really difficult to repay." ”
Ma Teng waved his hand again and again, with a smile on his face, and came over from the kitchen with a bowl of ginger soup and handed it to Zhang Xian for his granddaughter to take.
"I don't have any medicine here, I usually am as strong as a cow, and I never think about preparing anything, just a little ginger, see if this little girl gets better after taking it."
"Thank you, Brother Marten." Zhang Xian arched his hand.
After Ma Teng finished doing this, he stood there and looked at it for a while, and suddenly remembered some things, and said to Zhang Xian, "Old man, I have to go and send firewood to the neighbors first, otherwise it will be dark for a while, and my business will be put on hold until tomorrow." ”
"Okay, please take care of yourself, and don't let us miss your livelihood."
So Ma Teng took the firewood and went out.
……
Zhang Xian looked at his tall back, and felt that this rough man with a beard was delicate in his mind, modest, and really a good person with a pure heart.
He shook his head and went back to take care of Xiao Yi'er, only to see that after she drank the ginger soup, her face was flushed, and some fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.
"Master, what's wrong with the little sister?"
Zhang Xian looked back at Shang Yun, smiled and said with relief, "It's okay, when her sweat comes out, it will be fine tomorrow morning." ”
Shang Yun nodded, was silent, and looked back, only to see that Su Mo had already drunk his bowl of rice porridge on the side, and was sitting on the side with his eyes closed.
Shang Yun was amused in his heart, feeling that this Danqing Spirit was no different from a normal person, and he still had an appetite, but he didn't know if the other Danqing Masters' Imperial Spirits were like this.
He looked at Su Mo, pushed his bowl of rice porridge in front of her and said, "Sister Su Mo, I have a small amount of food and can't drink so much, I'll keep a little and give you the rest." ”
As she spoke, she poured most of the bowl of porridge into her bowl.
Su Mo glanced at him, his eyes flickered, he only thanked him, and then picked up his bowl and drank it.
Shang Yunxi smiled, and he was not in a hurry to eat his own, he only looked at Su Mo with a pair of eyes, and he was extremely happy in his heart.
Zhang Xian saw all this in his eyes, thinking that this child was born with a bodhisattva heart, if he hadn't experienced this human calamity, he didn't know how happy he would be in the future.
Previously, Zhang Xian was still thinking about whether to teach Shangyun Danqing Technique, because he was afraid that he would be devoured by hatred, and he was afraid that cultivating Danqing Technique would bring disaster to the world in the future, but now seeing him so well-behaved and sensible, he couldn't help but lean a little towards the idea of passing on the technique.
When he was thinking about it secretly, he only heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, Zhang Xian thought that Ma Teng was back, and when he opened the door to look, he saw another big man.
The person who came was also tall, more than eight feet, with a full beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and extremely deep eye sockets, which looked very much like Ma Teng.
When the two of them met, they were both surprised.
Zhang Xian opened his mouth and asked him, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I was about to ask who you are, but you asked me instead." After speaking, ignoring Zhang Xian, Wu Zi was about to enter the house, and shouted at the top of his throat, "Second brother! Second brother! ”
Zhang Xian thought that this Ma Teng was not there, and he left it to his own care, how could he let people break in, so he reached out to stop him.
When the man saw him coming, he snorted, took a step back and said, "Old man, what do you mean, you won't let me in, it's not good if I hurt you." ”
"I don't know what's going on with the little brother, if you come here to visit and don't report your home first, you will break into the house, of course the old man will stop you."
The man laughed and said, "I didn't ask you about trespassing on people's houses, but you asked about me." When he said this, he muttered for a moment, and his face suddenly became gloomy again.
"You stopped me, didn't something happen to my second brother?"
As he said this, he forced his way in.
Zhang Xian saw that he was angry, and said that his heart was not good, and he reached out to stop him, but saw that this man flicked him backhand, and suddenly punched him from under the ribs.
Zhang Xian said badly, he thought that this was an ordinary man, who knew that he would know kung fu, if this punch was solid, it would inevitably break a few ribs.
The man was huge, and his fist was so powerful that he suddenly smashed it, and he heard only a hard sound, and there was a pain in his hand, which did not seem to be on the flesh, but on the iron and stone.
When I looked at it again, I saw the girl in the yellow shirt who appeared at some point, and she held his fist in the air and blocked it between the two.
"Su Mo." Zhang Xian shouted softly, thinking that he had come just in time.
Su Mo stretched out a hand and pulled Zhang Xian behind him, the whole person blocked the middle of the door frame, stood with his sword in his hand, and looked at the person in front of him coldly.
Shang Yun was shocked by this sound and didn't know what was happening, so he came over and hid behind Zhang Xian to watch.
When the man saw that he was caught by a girl out of thin air, he only felt ashamed and hateful, his face was blushing, and he said, "Girl, get out of the way, I never beat a woman, otherwise I won't be responsible for hurting you." ”
After speaking, seeing that Su Mo did not let go, the man's heart was on fire, and he wanted to withdraw his fist, who knew that although Su Mo was small, his strength was very great, and this hand struggled twice, but did not break free, and he couldn't help but feel even more angry in his heart.
So he didn't care about this hand, only waved his other fist towards Su Momian's door, the distance between the two was extremely close, ordinary people couldn't dodge it at all, this man was tall, his fist speed was extremely fast, and the sound of breaking the wind was faintly visible.
Who knew that Su Mo's figure was faster, like a ghost, he only bowed down and got out of the way, and the fist hit the air, the man only felt powerless, and the whole person rushed forward.
Su Mo was ready to attack, and bowed down and swung out the negative sword behind his back.
"Su Mo, don't hurt him!" I could only hear Zhang Xian shouting behind him, and Su Mo forcibly withdrew the tip of the sword in the air, only hitting the hilt of the sword on the abdomen.
With a muffled snort, the man struggled to fly upside down and fell to the ground in an instant.
Everything was in the blink of an eye, and the man lay straight on the ground, still not understanding what had just happened.
Zhang Xian walked quickly, came to the side of the man, squatted down and asked, "You called the second brother just now, are you Brother Ma Teng?" ”
The man coughed a few times, finally took a breath, sat up and looked at Zhang Xian and nodded, "I am Ma Teng's brother, Ma Yi, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" How about my brother again? ”
After listening to his words, Zhang Xian laughed, helped him up and said, "Misunderstanding, what a misunderstanding." ”
……
Zhang Xian helped Ma Yi to the house, told Ma Yi what happened today, and said, "Your second brother picked firewood to sell it, and he will come back from time to time." ”
When Ma Yi heard him say this, he put his mind at ease, only felt ashamed, scratched his head and said, "It's also my quick temper, I have to do it before I say a few words, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, I was offended a lot just now." ”
"It's us who offended, I wonder if the little brother Ma Yi is injured?"
Su Mo listened to Zhang Xian's apology, and also bowed his hand, "How offended." He kept his eyes down, and never looked at him.
Ma Yi laughed and said, "I have never been injured, but I feel comfortable when I was beaten by the girl like this." ”
Shang Yun listened to him, and was surprised in his heart, and secretly said that this horse wing was actually an itchy person who liked to be beaten. But when I thought about it again, I only felt that Su Mo's tricks just now were superb, and I couldn't help but feel envious, thinking, if I can also learn her skills, why don't I take revenge.
Just as he was thinking about it, he sensed the evil fire on his body, so he burned from his chest.
Shang Yun couldn't help but feel the pain, and his heart was shocked, so he quickly closed his eyes and calmed down, getting rid of distracting thoughts.
……
At this time, Ma Yizheng was talking, dancing with his hands, and said, "The old man doesn't know, my two brothers of the Ma family are the descendants of this Fubo general Ma Yuan." Therefore, there is a unique marksmanship in the family, which my two brothers have practiced since childhood, and it is difficult to meet opponents in this Maoling County. Today to meet the girl, it is really a blessing for three lives, just now I saw the girl holding a long sword, presumably the swordsmanship is more exquisite, the wing thinks that the fist is not as good as the girl, and he will definitely use a gun to meet the long sword in the girl's hand. ”
Su Mo raised his head, glanced at him lightly, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian's face was slightly embarrassed, thinking that this horse wing was probably itchy on weekdays, looking like a martial idiot, he only coughed a few times, and did not answer him directly, "Brother Shicai said that you are the descendants of General Fubo, but why do you ......?"
He looked up at the house, embarrassed to say the word "down-and-out", and only wanted to use some words.
This Fubo general Ma Yuan is the founding general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, once pacified the Qiang rebellion, served as Longxi Taishou for many years, invincible and invincible, is a hero admired by 10,000 people, Zhang Xian thought that his descendants must also inherit his title, should not be so, so there is a question.
Although Ma Yiren is rough, he is not too stupid, and he immediately understood what Zhang Xian meant, so he said, "Don't hide it from the old man, I am waiting for Ma to help the descendants, in fact, we should not be down to this point, my father Ma Ping was a captain of Tianshui Lan, but,."
Ma Yi wanted to speak and stopped, "But this court, favored the eunuchs of foreign relatives, by the time my father took office, it was no longer an era that could be inhabited, the court sold official positions, and the official positions of all sizes were already clearly marked, and my father's official was also bought by others, and he was soon dismissed." And my two brothers are the offspring of a Qiang woman born to a Qiang woman after my father lived here, so they are different from the Han people in appearance. ”
When Zhang Xian heard this, he nodded yes, when he saw Ma Teng before, he also felt that his face was different from that of the Han people, and he originally thought that he was born majestic, but now he thinks that it is because he is of mixed Qiang and Han blood.
Ma Yi sighed and continued, "Soon after giving birth to my two brothers, my mother died, and we practiced martial arts with my father, and when I was weak, my father had also passed away, so far only my two brothers depend on each other, I live on that kind of field, and I have a household, and my second brother Ma Teng makes a living by chopping wood, so the family is poor. ”
Zhang Xian heard him say this, his heart was gloomy, he only said that the world was dark, but he didn't know to be so far, and then recalled that he had repeatedly failed when he was young, he only felt a sense of confusion, and it was also this Ma family brother who was upright and simple, willing to talk to himself about this, if others listened to his rebellious remarks, he didn't know how to end up.
He sighed and said, "I saw that your two brothers also have good martial arts, why didn't you ever think of going to the battlefield and making meritorious contributions?" ”
After Ma Yi heard what he said, he laughed and said, "Why haven't you thought about it, but now is not a troubled time, there is no opportunity to use force, and the court is mediocre, I have no money, and no one to recommend me, so I have no way to serve the country." ”
Zhang Xian sighed, and his heart was gloomy.
At this moment, Shang Yun on the side only heard a muffled snort, and he fell to the ground, and a small piece of red light fainted from his chest.
"Yun'er!"
Zhang Xian's heart tightened, it was not an evil fire, and when he went to call him again, he didn't see any answer, so he quickly took off his clothes, only to see the burning scar covered by the cold jade roll on his chest, and at this moment, there was a faint red light flashing, and he wanted to erupt.
Ma Yi on the side had never seen such a scene, and when he came over to take a look, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This kid's injury is strange......
Xiao Yi'er in Su Mo's arms slept until this time, and she also woke up, only to feel that her limbs were extremely soft, and seeing Shang Yunshang by her side, she smiled happily, "But who won?" ”
Shang Yun was stunned for a moment, and then understood that what she said was about the ice crystal leaves yesterday, so he smiled, "You won." ”
Zhang Yi laughed happily and said, "Then you are willing to gamble and lose, and you have to promise to do one thing for me in the future!" ”
Shang Yun's face stiffened, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, when did the agreed bet?
But when I looked at Zhang Yi, I only felt a move in my heart, and couldn't help but answer her, "Okay, I promise you." ”
