Volume 1 The Twelfth Year of Fangzhou Chapter 5 The West Night Bailan

The old monk saw that the three of them were grateful, so he said: "A good sword still needs to be equipped with good skills, and the swordsmanship you have practiced is the essence of Lin Han's teaching, but the old man doesn't dare to get an axe anymore." ”

Li Bao'er then asked, "Teacher Lin's martial arts, how is it compared to the master?" ”

The old monk smiled slightly: "How dare the old man compare with Lin Han's donor? Lin Han is a master of martial arts, and he is afraid that there are few opponents in the world. ”

The old monk said: "Zhuangzi has a cloud: 'The husband is the sword, show it to be false, open it to benefit, and then to send it, and then to come.'" 'The way of the sword, the last to come, but the way of the sword is like the way of the soldier, Sun Ziyun: 'The soldier, the way of treachery. Those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory. I am invisible. 'The art of the sword, the virtual and the real, the surprising winning party is the superior swordsmanship. Sun Tzu Youyun: 'Those who do good deeds, the enemy does not know what they are defending; Those who defend well, the enemy does not know what they are attacking. 'When you fight with others, you must be taken by surprise in order to be invincible. ”

The three of them nodded slightly when they heard this, just like Daigo empowerment, and saw the sun through the clouds. Although it is said that the same move should be changed in response to all changes, it is okay to use the same move once, and if you use it more, I am afraid that the opponent will already have a solution to it. Seeing that the three of them were all pondering, the old monk stroked his long beard and nodded slightly, and said in his heart: The son can be taught.

The old monk said to the three people: "In this case, the old man has also retired, and you should also go back to rest as soon as possible, so as not to be noticed." I hope you will remember what you said the day before yesterday! ”

Hearing the words of the old monk, the three of them came back to their senses, and Li Xianhui took the lead in asking: "Since the master has a good relationship with my teacher Lin Han, presumably the master knows the reason, right?" Li Chongrun and Li Bao'er also stared at the old monk with their eyes, listening attentively to what the old monk was about to say.

The old monk sighed and said: "Lin Han's matter, the old man knows everything, but this is very involved, and the three of them are still young, but it is not the time to inquire about this matter." "The three of them are not unreasonable people, since the old monk said that the matter is important, presumably the matter is not so simple, and he is not asking too much at the moment.

Just as the old monk was about to leave, Li Bao'er suddenly asked, "Does the master know the life and death of Teacher Lin?" ”

The old monk paused and said, "It's death!" ”

Li Bao'er asked again: "Died in search of revenge?" ”

The old monk said: "Lin Han's swordsmanship is outstanding, how can those little ones kill him?" ”

Li Xianhui said: "Why did Teacher Lin die? ”

At the same time, Li Chongrun also asked: "Dare to ask the master's number?" ”

I saw the old monk tap his feet on the ground, jumped up, and replied at the same time: "The old monk is a wild monk in the mountains and forests, and there are less than three of them. Lord Lin Shi died in the 'West Night White Orchid', what the old man said, the three of them should remember! When the three of them tried to ask again, the old monk had already disappeared.

"West Night Orchid? What is West Night Orchid? Li Bao'er wondered.

Li Chongrun said: "The West Night is the ancient country of the Western Regions, and the current Zhu Jubo Kingdom annexed the West Night Country at that time, but I don't know what connection this West Night Bailan has with the West Night Ancient Kingdom." ”

Li Xianhui said: "Could it be a kind of white orchid in the ancient country of the Western Night?" ”

Li Chongrun shook his head and said: "The Western Night Country is the current Zhu Jubo Country, and I also know a little about the situation in the Western Regions Zhu Jubo Kingdom, but I have never heard of the Western Night Bailan. ”

Li Bao'er said: "We don't have to think about it now, we also pay more attention to this western night Bailan on weekdays, and the most important thing we should be grateful for at present is to go back to sleep, so as not to be noticed." ”

Li Chongrun and Li Xianhui nodded slightly, and the three of them sneaked back to their rooms again, and they didn't mention it.

The next day, Li Chongrun, Li Xianhui, and Li Bao'er went to see Li Xian after finishing their homework, and the three of them entered the main hall to salute, only to see that Li Xian was still just drinking with Wei. When Wei saw Li Bao'er, he took Li Bao'er into his arms very fondly. Li Chongrun, Li Xian'er, Li Xianxian, Li Xianhui, and Li Bao'er were all born to Wei, so Wei's also treated several people differently from Li Chongfu, Li Xiangchun, Li Xiangqiu, and Li Jijiang.

Li Xian'er and Li Xianxian like needlework and thread, but Li Xiangchun is an embroidery master who threads needles and threads, and Li Xian'er and Li Xianxian often mix with Li Xiangchun. Seeing this, Wei scolded many times, but Li Xian'er and Li Xianxian ignored Wei's scolding, and over time, they loved the house and Wu, but Li Xiangchun's treatment in front of Wei was much better than that of Li Chongfu, Li Xiangqiu, and Li Jijiang.

The children born to Webster are very favored by Li Xian and Webster, the most is Li Bao'er, Li Bao'er was born to Wei on the way to Li Xian's demotion to Fangzhou, plus he has been weak and sick since childhood, Li Xian and Webster have always felt that Li Bao'er was born with a hard life, so they are most favored by Li Xian and Webster.

Li Xian saw that it was Li Chongrun and the three of them came and asked, "What is the matter with you coming to the main hall?" ”

Li Chongrun said: "Father, have you ever heard of Bailan in the Western Regions? ”

When Li Xian heard the three of them mention the West Night White Orchid, he was very puzzled and asked, "How do you know that the West Night White Orchid?" ”

Li Xianhui also understood, Li Xian knew the personality of his brothers and sisters, Li Chongrun had to teach the nine streams of learning and swordsmanship on weekdays, if it were not for Li Xian's order, I am afraid that Li Chongrun would not even be too lazy to learn the six classics and nine classics, so he said to Li Xian: "We went to the river to play a few days ago, and on the way I heard someone mention the white orchid in the west night, but I don't know what kind of strange flowers and plants it is, so I came to ask my father for advice today." ”

Li Xianqi said: "How can a wild man in the countryside know such a rare thing as the West Night White Orchid? Li Xian's question, Li Chongrun and Li Xianhui didn't know how to answer, looking at Li Xian's meaning, presumably the West Night Bailan really cherished rare things.

Seeing this, Li Bao'er broke away from Wei's arms and said to Li Xian: "How can a wild man in the countryside know about the West Night Bailan? It's just that we have seen a trip to Fang Langzhong, and that Langzhong inadvertently mentioned the West Night White Orchid, and I had never heard of the West Night White Orchid before, so I wrote it down! ”

Li Xianhui and Li Chongrun also hurriedly said: "Yes! I learned about it from the mouth of that You Fanglang. ”

Li Xian heard that it was You Fang Langzhong who said it, and he didn't ask too much, that West Night Bailan was originally a highly poisonous thing, if it was Langzhong, it was possible that he would know about it in some classics. Li Xian told the three of them what he knew: "The West Night White Orchid is a kind of poisonous flower made in ancient West Night, and the poison of this West Night White Orchid is extremely fierce, and it is rumored that where the West Night White Orchid grows, there is no other thing within a radius of ten miles. ”

When Li Chongrun and the three of them heard this, their eyes widened, how could there be such a powerful poisonous flower in the world? No wonder Teacher Lin would die at the hands of this flower.

Li Xian continued: "At that time, the king of the Western Night Kingdom ordered the medicine master to take this flower, grind the branches and leaves of this flower into powder and apply it to the soldiers' weapons, and those who were injured by the poisoned blade were killed instantly. The king of the western night also ordered the white flower to be powdered and secretly thrown into the well of Hanoi in other countries, and it is strange to say that the white orchid flower is colorless and tasteless when it enters the water, and those who drink this water will become very crazy in the sun, and dance and dance by themselves, but at night they are no different from ordinary people, and so on and so on until they have a mental breakdown and die of exhaustion. For a time, the night kingdom of Naxi conquered and enslaved many neighboring countries with the poison of this flower. ”

Li Chongrun said in surprise: "Since the Western Night Kingdom has such a powerful poisonous flower, how can it be swallowed up by the current Zhu Weibo Kingdom?" ”

Li Xiandao: "Although the West Night White Orchid is highly poisonous, it is also a very rare thing, in order to conquer the surrounding countries, the West Night Country exhausted the West Night White Orchid, without the poison of the White Orchid, the West Night Country naturally became a thorn in the eye of the surrounding countries, and the West Night Country has ceased to exist." ”

Li Xianhui said: "Then according to this, the West Night Bailan has long been extinct, but why did You Fang Langzhong mention this thing?" ”

Li Xiandao: "Although the West Night was destroyed, but the West Night White Orchid was not extinct, during the Taizong period, there was a group of people who specialized in touching gold and robbing tombs, and they dug up a West Night White Orchid in the tomb of the West Night King, and later this White Orchid was cultivated by the imperial doctor in the palace, but it was not considered extinct. ”

Li Xianhui said: "Since this white orchid is highly poisonous, why do you still want to cultivate it in the palace?" ”

Li Xian continued: "Although this white orchid is extremely poisonous, it is counterproductive with the poison of the flame green, the flame green snake gall is originally a wonderful medicine for refining medicine and building pills, but the medicinal properties are too burning, so with the golden pill refined by the white orchid of the West Night, it is very warm. ”

Li Xianhui said: "I have also heard that the flame green is a highly poisonous snake produced on the shore of Dongting Lake, once this snake touches the skin, it will feel that the whole body is burning like a flame, because this snake is cyan, so it is named flame green." ”

Li Xian nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that Flame Blue and West Night White Orchid are both extremely rare poisons, but they are poisonous but can restrain each other." ”

After listening to Li Xian's words, Li Chongrun and the three of them also understood a little in their hearts, I am afraid that this matter really has a lot to do with Dongting Lake.

The three of them said goodbye to Li Xian and Wei, and came to the backyard, Li Chongrun said to the second daughter: "That flame green is produced in Dongting Lake, maybe Teacher Lin's matter is related to Dongting Lake." ”

Li Bao'er said: "Yan Yanzhi of the Southern Dynasty once had a poem saying: 'Jiang and Han divide Chu Wang, and Heng Wu Dian Nanfu. Sanxiang fell into the cave court, and Qize was a vitex herd. Extend the old track on the way, and visit Sichuan and Lu. The water country is surrounded by dangers, and the rivers and mountains are repeated. But leaning on the cloud dream forest, looking forward to Beijing and Taiwan. Qing Yan Ji Yueyang, Zeng Hui Bo Lanao. Miserable from the distant wind, sad thousands of miles. Thousands of years of old and old, hundreds of generations of ups and downs. Who is there yet, Jiongjie is in Myeong-sook. Please come back from the world. 'I've only heard about the beauty of Dongting water, and the strength of Baling Tower, but I've never really been there, it's a pity! ”

Li Xianhui said: "Yan Yanzhi's poem is indeed very beautiful, but I like the sentence 'Please come back from the world.'" It is said that after Tao Yuanming's death, Yan Yanzhi wrote an essay for him. I do like that' picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the South Mountain. '' of artistic conception. ”

Li Bao'er said: "Sister Xianhui, you really only want to be simple, compared to 'picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan.'" 'I still prefer that' I don't know if there is a Han, whether it is Wei or Jin. Wouldn't it be better to be a worldly person away from secular power disputes? ”

Li Chongrun heard the words and said to the second daughter: "You two and I were both born in this emperor's family, and we are in the midst of a power struggle, I am afraid it is not easy to get rid of such a fate." But I like the 'sacrifice of my life to go to the country, and see death as if I were going home.' 'The spirit of the spirit, I only wish to consolidate my great rivers and mountains forever. ”

Li Xianhui and Li Bao'er shook their heads slightly and sighed lightly, even though their wishes were good, but they were born in the emperor's family, freedom, that is something that they were born with and no longer have anything to do with them.

Li Bao'er said: "Last night, the master said that we still need to study more swordsmanship, but I want to go to Dongting Lake once, but we can't help ourselves in Fangzhou, if we leave without permission, I'm afraid it will affect my father." ”

Li Xianhui said: "Not bad! If one day, you want to go, I will go with you. ”

Li Chongrun said: "How can this be without me? It's just that we are still young, and we still need more experience to walk in the rivers and lakes, and besides, my father is demoted here, and we can't travel far! ”

Li Bao'er said: "Now we should continue to practice swordsmanship diligently, and learn swordsmanship well before anything else." From today on, the three of us will be training in battle, how about me and Sister Xianhui fighting against Brother Chongrun? ”

Li Chongrun and Li Xianhui said: "It's exactly what I want!" ”

Since then, the three of them have been practicing in battle every day and studying swordsmanship diligently. is the so-called: peach blossoms reflect butterfly dance, hidden dragon hidden township. The flowers dance and butterflies sleep in two spring and autumn, and the four seasons of seclusion are ascending.
