Li Xianhui listened to the words of the old monk, saluted, and said very respectfully: "I saw that the master was peaceful and solemn, but my brother was reckless, please forgive the master!" ”

Li Chongrun was empty-eyed, obviously the old monk eavesdropped on the conversation of the three of them, and he had to apologize, and he was very reluctant in his heart, although Li Chongrun was unwilling, but he also knew that this old monk was unfathomable, not an ordinary person, and he didn't say much at the moment, just turned his head and looked elsewhere.

Seeing Li Chongrun's demeanor, Li Bao'er pulled Li Chongrun's sleeve, and saluted the old monk and said, "My brother is young and vigorous, I hope the master will forgive me!" ”

Seeing this, the old monk waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay! Anyway! The three little donors are really young talents, but they ......"

Seeing that the old monk wanted to speak and stopped, Li Bao'er immediately asked, "Just how?" ”

The old monk smiled but did not answer, and looked at the three young men carefully:

I saw that Li Chongrun's eyebrows were clear and beautiful, just like a hidden dragon in the abyss, but his breath was weak. If the hidden dragon gets the water, it will be able to roar for nine days and dominate the world. It's a pity that the luck of this hidden dragon is too short, and it is a young dragon;

Look at Li Xianhui again, it is March at this time, and I feel that although this woman is young, she is as beautiful as the peach and plum flowers of the three springs, but I am afraid that the peach and plum flowers of the three springs are inferior to this woman. Although the peach and plum are dying, they are also the flowers of the moment, not the evergreen color of the pines and cypresses;

Look at the Li Bao'er, although she is young, she is born and the Li Xianhui is a little similar, although this girl is not as pleasing to the eye as the peach and plum flowers, but compared to the beauty of Li Xianhui, it is like a fairy who wants to dance in the Chang'e of Guanghan, just like a butterfly that will spread its wings and fly in the nine heavens. Although the butterfly is beautiful, it is transformed by shedding its nature, and it cannot escape the life of the bird and the crow.

Li Chongrun and the three of them didn't say anything when they saw the old monk, but just looked at the three of them, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking their heads, sometimes laughing, sometimes sad. Li Xianhui was very puzzled, so she asked, "What did the master see?" ”

Li Bao'er also asked: "I heard that there are two people in the capital, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, who are good at speculating on heavenly opportunities, but I don't know if the master also sees any heavenly opportunities?" ”

Li Chongrun said: "Li and Yuan are warlocks in the rivers and lakes, and they are not the right way in the end, and they still hope that the master will give them some advice." ”

When the old monk heard the words of the three of them, he said to Li Chongrun:

The hidden dragon will not be able to go up to nine days, and it should be hidden in the world.

Don't be arrogant and rush to the gods, and you must guard against false words and causing trouble.

said to Li Xianhui again:

Although the peach and plum are dying, sometimes they see the peach and plum in the golden autumn.

Yaohua is only in front of Yushi, and the falling flowers are ruthless and heartbreaking.

He said to Li Bao'er again:

The Guanghan fairy is ashamed of her face, and the butterflies spread their wings and dance.

Abandoning the original intention to turn into a butterfly, although the butterfly dance is beautiful, it is difficult to open the yuan.

Li Chongrun and the three of them didn't understand the meaning, so they asked again: "What does this mean?" I hope the master will know it in detail! ”

The old monk smiled and did not answer, and said to the three of them: "I hope that the three little donors will remember that Lin Han's donor and the old man have always had an old relationship, and the three little donors are both disciples of Lin Han's donor, and the old man should have a gift, but the old man is in a hurry to go out, but he is not taking it with him." If the three little donors have a heart, they will meet in this courtyard in three days, and then the old man should have a gift. Today's meeting, the three little donors must not mention it to others, so as not to get into trouble. After the old monk finished speaking, he didn't wait for the three of them to ask again, but just jumped slightly, and when the three of them looked up, the old monk was gone.

Seeing this, Li Chongrun said to the second daughter: "Although what this old monk said is mysterious, he said that he was with the three of us, but he didn't break it, and he also asked us to meet here in three days. ”

Li Xianhui said: "I see that the old monk's whereabouts are erratic, coming and going like the wind, he must be a master, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like the warlock of the rivers and lakes, the deceitful and deceitful." ”

Li Bao'er pondered slightly: "I think of someone!" ”

Li Xianhui was thoughtful and asked, "Could it be King Luo Bin during the Yangzhou Rebellion?" ”

Li Chongrun said: "King Luo Bin followed Xu Jingye to rebel, I only know that Xu Jingye and others have been ambushed, but I don't know why King Luo Bin is still here?" ”

Li Xianhui said with a smile: "Brother Chongrun, you have never disdained wild legends, naturally you have never heard of them, and there are often rumors among the people that King Luo Bin did not die with Xu Jingye, but escaped into the empty gate, and no one knows his whereabouts since then." ”

Li Chongrun asked: "Can you also believe in the countryside?" ”

Li Bao'er said with a smile: "Except for the six classics and nine classics, the classics of the three religions and nine streams, is it true that what people in the world say is all lies?" Li Chongrun also knew that his tongue was not the opponent of the second daughter, and he no longer argued with the two of them.

Li Xianhui smiled at Li Chongrun and said, "Brother Chongrun was still boasting of his swordsmanship just now, why can't he help that old monk?" Now you know that there is someone outside, right? ”

Li Chongrun had been thinking about the old monk's words, and when he heard Li Xianhui making fun of himself, he glanced at Li Xianhui and said, "You two are not the same, why can't you?" However, if this old monk is really King Luo Bin, then we really can't mention today's things to others. ”

Li Bao'er smiled: "I always thought that Brother Chongrun was vigorous, but I really didn't expect that the old monk was so powerful, and Brother Chongrun was also obedient!" ”

Li Chongrun glanced at the second daughter who was snickering on the side, and said, "I said that we should not tell others about this matter, including my father and mother. ”

Li Xianhui and Li Bao'er looked at each other and smiled, and Li Bao'er said: "I shouldn't tell others, this is the secret of the three of us." ”

Since then, the three of them have studied swordsmanship but have also worked harder, because the three of them encountered setbacks in the hands of the old monk, and Fang knew that the swordsmanship that they were proud of on weekdays was like an eagle spreading its wings, and it was difficult to soar in the world.

The three-day period came in a flash, and the three of them said goodbye to Li Xian and Wei Shi early that night, and each turned off the lights and went to sleep.

As the hour approached, the three of them slipped out of their rooms and closed the door lightly, lest they would wake up the vigil.

The three of them used what they had learned on weekdays, moved the body method, put their steps lightly, and tiptoed into the backyard.

When the three of them arrived, they saw that the old monk had not yet arrived, but they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts.

When they first arrived, they only heard the sound of swallows skimming the sky, and the three of them looked up carefully, but they did not see any birds passing by, and when they turned back, they saw that the old monk was already standing in front of them.

In the middle of the night, a person suddenly appeared before the meeting, and Li Chongrun and the three of them were all back, and Li Xianhui and Li Bao'er were about to speak, and the old monk gently patted the shoulders of the two and said: "Don't panic the three little donors, it's the poor monk who came to the appointment." ”

Li Xianhui and Li Bao'er are also very human, and after a slight reaction, they stopped their thoughts.

Li Bao'er was slightly dissatisfied, and muttered to the old monk: "Are you going to scare me to death?" God doesn't know it. ”

The old monk waved his hand lightly and signaled Li Bao'er not to make a loud noise.

That Li Bao'er is not a stingy person, and when he saw that the old monk did come to the appointment, he had no resentment in his heart, but he was looking forward to the courtesy that the old monk said three days ago. Li Xianhui and Li Chongrun are also full of joy and look forward to it.

I saw that the old monk slowly took out three swords from his back and asked the three of them: "Why does the little donor think the sword is such a murder weapon?" ”

Li Bao'er said: "The sword itself is not a murder weapon, it is not the sword that hurts people, but the hearts of people who use the sword, and the sword quality is the character." ”

Li Xianhui said: "Bao'er is right, the way of the sword is humanity, Zhuangzi once said King Zhao Wen with the sword of the Son of Heaven, the sword of the princes, and the sword of the Shuren." The way of inaction, Fang is the right way of the sword, and going with the flow is the right way! ”

Li Chongrun said again: "The sword is man-made, Xun Zi said: 'Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat.'" 'I, Emperor Taizong, often use this to encourage myself. The sword is water, the user is the boat, and the sword can not only hurt others, but also hurt oneself. ”

The old monk nodded slightly, and then took the first sword out of the sheath, Li Chongrun and the three of them took a closer look at it by the moonlight, only to feel that this sword seems to be simple and unpretentious, but there is a powerful and fierce atmosphere hidden in it, and then look at the sword, three feet long, the hilt of the sword is carved with a huge mountain, rolling the ocean, and there is a dragon shadow hidden in it. Look at the scabbard again, engraved with thousands of mountains and thousands of miles of seas, like a picture of mountains and rivers, all-encompassing.

Li Chongrun was overjoyed to see this sword, he really liked this sword, the old monk closed the sword, handed it to Li Chongrun and said: "This sword is called 'Hidden Dragon', which is cast by meteorite in the depths of the South China Sea. The identity of the little donor is special, but he should go to the word 'dragon'. ”

Li Chongrun nodded and said: "There is a poem that says: 'I think about it in my life, and I am full of spirit. The wild sun divides the shadows, and the stars merge with the sword. The bowstring hugs the Han moon, and the horse tramples the dust. Don't survive and enter the plug, only repay the king with death. In that case, how about this sword being called 'Xinghe'? After speaking, Li Chongrun looked at the old monk with interest.

The old monk knew where this poem came from, and heard that Li Chongrun named it after this poem, and he was a little happy in his heart, and at the same time secretly admired the intelligence of the three young men, and immediately smiled: "The sword has been given to the little donor, as for what name to take, it is the little donor's own business." Don't use the hidden dragon, the stars are combined with the sword, a good star, not only to go to the hidden dragon, but also to the ambition of the little benefactor, a good name! ”

Li Chongrun saw that the old monk did not deny it, and he knew seven or eight points in his heart: this person was King Luo Bin that day.

The old monk put the second sword out of the sheath again, only to see that the sword body of this sword appears to be more slender, two feet three inches long, the hilt of the sword is made of peach wood, carved with peach blossoms, beautiful, this sword out of the sheath, more peach blossom fragrance faintly floating. Look at the scabbard again, it is also made of peach wood, and the lines and branches on it tremble, chaotic but not mixed, and it is a good spring and March peach paradise.

The old monk handed the sword to Li Xianhui and said: "This sword body is cast of 10,000-year-old fine iron at the top of Kunlun, supplemented by thousand-year-old peach wood, agarwood but not greasy. This sword is called 'Peach Demon'. ”

Li Xianhui took the sword and said happily: "Since this sword is supplemented by peach wood, it is also very reasonable to be named 'Peach Demon', but the word 'demon' is too evil." There is a cloud in the "Book of Songs": "The peach is dying, and it is scorching." The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room. The peach is dying, and there is a fact. The son is home, and his family room is appropriate. The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming. The son is home, and it is suitable for his family. It's better to call it 'Peach Blossom', the one who is prosperous, and the grass and trees are also prosperous. ”

The old monk stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "It is really good to change the name of this sword to 'Tao Zhen', less of the demon spirit of the 10,000-year-old peach tree, and more of the spirit of Zhen Zhen's glory, a good Taozhen, a good name!" ”

The old monk unsheathed the third sword, only to see that the sword was short and soft, the sword body was as slender as a willow leaf, the sword was two feet three inches long, and two dancing women were carved on the hilt. Looking at the scabbard again, I saw a group of women dancing on the scabbard, but with different expressions. Look at the clothes and appearances of those women, but they don't look like people from the Central Plains. The sword and the scabbard were very soft.

The old monk handed the sword to Li Bao'er and said: "This sword is cast by the Han Dynasty Loulan craftsman with soft steel in the Western Regions, and according to legend, the sword is called 'Lan Ye', this sword says that steel is not steel, and it is soft and not soft." ”

Li Bao'er took the soft sword and said with joy: "Although this sword is from Loulan in the Western Regions, the 'orchid' of 'orchid leaves' is not like the shape of this sword, and the willow leaf pictogram is more appropriate. "Lisao" has clouds: 'Zhang Xianchi plays Chengyunxi, and the second daughter Yu Jiu Shao Song. Make the Xiangling drum stiff, and make the sea dance Feng Yi'. It's better to call it 'Xiangling'! ”

The old monk sighed: "What a terrifying boy! Xiangling drums, dancing with music, a good Xiangling, a good name! ”

Li Chongrun and the three of them each named their swords, and they were all full of joy to thank the old monk for the grace of the sword.
