Chapter 51: The Past
Decades ago, the dirty clothes Taoist was still Wang Zhichen, and he and his two brothers Wang Zhixuan and Wang Zhixuan had gradually shown their edge. The eldest brother served in the court, and the second brother presided over the affairs of the gate valve, and he was already quite famous in the rivers and lakes. In the autumn of a year, he traveled around the area of Wankou, and wanted to go to Jiujiang Water Village to find old friends to catch up, but when passing through the city of Wankou, he found several strange old men, he was just curious at first, and wanted to see what these people were going to do, but after following for a day, he found that several people had been wandering in several fixed locations outside the city of Wankou. It wasn't until after nightfall that these old men suddenly joined up with a large group of people, and it seemed that they were under them, with nearly two hundred people. Wang Zhichen felt that things were definitely not simple. In order to avoid startling the snake, he has been following these people from a distance.
These people first set up a ban on a high ground east of Anhuikou, leaving an old man, and then the south, west, and north were all like this. Wang Zhichen guessed what the formation should be, but he had been following from a distance, unable to see their movements clearly. He vaguely felt that things were too weird, so he went to the Wankou Mansion that night, and the Wankou Mansion didn't care much about what the young man said at first, until Wang Zhichen told the other party that he was the third young master Wang Zhichen of the Wang clan in the capital, and then the government sent a servant to investigate with him. But halfway through, I saw that black fog slowly rose on all sides of Wankou City, gradually covering Wankou City.
Wang Zhichen regretted that he was a step late, and the officials who followed him around him didn't dare to follow him when they saw the vision in the air, so they hurriedly turned around and ran back to the mansion. Wang Zhichen had no choice but to rush over alone to find out. When I arrived at the high ground in the east of Wankou City, I saw an old man sitting in the middle with his eyes closed, surrounded by more than ten people, and these people were surrounded by black gas, which was very weird. Wang Zhichen was young and vigorous, walked over quickly, and with a wave of his palm, a white sword flew straight towards the old man in the middle. The old man didn't move, and a few people around him quickly made a move, and a few black gases stopped the sword. Wang Zhichen waved his hands frequently, and seven or eight sword rays directly hit these people, and all of a sudden several people were knocked to the ground, and the remaining few people surrounded the old man in the middle, all of them sacrificed black qi, and confronted Wang Zhichen in one place.
The old man slowly opened his eyes at this time, he stared at Wang Zhichen, and said in an extremely cold tone: "Housheng, there are some means, but you shouldn't meddle in things." After speaking, with a wave of his hand, a young man closest to him immediately jumped in front of Wang Zhichen, and without saying a word, two black water qi slammed towards him. Wang Zhichen felt that this person's strength was quite strong, and he gathered his sword with cohesion, and the two of them fought together, while the rest of them watched from afar.
The person who fought with Wang Zhichen was Yuji, and the one who was surrounded by everyone in the middle was Yuji's master Yuhong. Both of them have been for a long time, regardless of victory or defeat, Yu Hong lost his patience a little, condensed two strong black water energy, and directly crashed into Wang Zhichen, Wang Zhichen fought with Yu Ji with all his strength, couldn't dodge, was hit by black water energy, and was immediately injured, Yu Ji saw this, his hands increased his strength, and slashed towards Wang Zhichen. Wang Zhichen saw Yuhong's methods and knew that he was not an opponent, so he hurried to the side, dodged Yuji's attack, turned around and ran. Yu Ji was about to step forward to catch up, but Yu Hong said: "That's it, it's important." ”
When Yu Ji heard this, he glanced at the back of Wang Zhichen leaving, and returned to Yu Hong's side.
Wang Zhichen ignored his injuries, ran all the way, and returned to Wankou City, and the black fog shrouded in mid-air at this moment had caused panic in the entire Wankou City. Wang Zhichen hurriedly went to the palace and saw that the commander of the garrison was discussing with four old men dressed in different clothes about dealing with the black fog. The four old men listened to Wang Zhichen's description and roughly understood the purpose of Jiuli, and then he knew that there was a Jiuli clan in the world. That night, the four old soldiers divided into four ways and led their disciples to each of the four strongholds, these four people were from Tianjian Villa, Sanqingguan, Taijimen and Beijian Sect. And Wang Zhichen followed the people of Tianjian Villa, and went to the eastern highlands again, the old man of Tianjian Villa was the brother of the owner of the village at that time, and now Liu Yigang, who is the first in the southern martial arts list, is also in the team, and the two of them joined hands to defeat Yuhong, Yuji and a group of Jiuli disciples, and finally Yuhong blew himself up Zhenyuan, and barely covered Yuji's escape. The other three people also successfully broke through the formation. At dawn, the black fog dissipated.
This period of time was only one day from the time it happened to the end, so not many people knew about it, but Jiuli directly lost four core elders in that battle, and for several years after that, Jiuli did not set foot in Dongyue again.
Sun Lin listened to the story of the filthy cloth Taoist, it turned out that this Anhui mouth was trapped by the black fog once decades ago, it seems that the Jiuli clan must have a plan to come over again this time, Yuji must not have thought that he encountered the dirty clothes Taoist in Anhui twice, and this time he was seriously injured by it, it seems that some things are really destined in the dark. Sun Lin thought that the filthy Daoist had been in Qinggu again, so he asked curiously: "Senior Wang, when were you in Qinggu, I don't seem to have any impression at all." ”
"Haha, you should be twenty, I was injured twenty years ago and was healed in Qinggu, and Feng Xunzhi was just a child at that time." The dirty man replied with a smile.
"How did you get hurt?" Sun Lin asked curiously.
At this time, the face of the dirty-clothed Taoist changed slightly, and he seemed to recall for a while before slowly replying: "In the battle of Hangu Pass, I was almost dead, and later Chen Fanli and Xiao Zhongqin took me to Qinggu and let the people from the medical sect save me. ”
"It's the battle of Hangu Pass again, what happened to Master, Uncle Xiao and you at that time?" Sun Lin heard the battle of Hangu Pass for the second time, and the last time it was Wei Wuyan who said it, it seemed that this battle seemed to have a great impact, but no one else talked about it, so he asked the dirty clothes Taoist again.
The dirty cloth Taoist took a sip of wine, looked at Sun Lin carefully, his eyes suddenly flickered, he didn't speak for a long time, Feng Xunzhi and Sun Lin were a little puzzled, Feng Xunzhi opened his mouth and said: "Senior Wang, are you okay?" ”
Hearing Feng Xunzhi talking to himself, the dirty cloth Taoist relieved his mind and replied: "It's okay, it's okay, the battle of Hanguguan involved too many people, and each was its master at that time, and only your master was really neutral, so I can only tell you that it was the only time that the four countries worked together to resist Jiuli, but it was precisely because of the forces of the four countries that they only repelled the attack of the Jiuli clan in the end, and killed many young talents in vain, as for the specific situation of that battle, you have the opportunity to ask Chen Fan and Xiao Zhongqin."
After saying this, the dirty clothes Taoist took a big sip of wine, Feng Xunzhi and Sun Lin Zhiqu didn't ask any more, and the three of them continued to hurry to Qinggu.
After Dong Yun came out of Jianye, he also went back to Qinggu, and after he arrived in Xuancheng, he stopped for a day and prepared to set off for Lincheng.
Mo Buyu and Mo Liu were also on their way back to their hometown in Jiangdong.
Northern Qin, Puyang City, Zhang Kai has been staying at Wei's house since he returned to Northern Qin, he has been relying on Wei's house and refusing to leave, he saw Wei Wuyan's blow to attract Tianlei, and he has been pestering Wei Wuyan to learn Tianlei's strength, Wei Wuyan turned him away several times, but he was really thick-skinned, and he actually lived in Wei's house, clamoring to drink Wei Qingyue's wine. Wei Qingyue has been depressed since returning to Wei's house, and her father, Wei Wuxing, told her that after the beginning of spring, he would choose an auspicious day to marry her and Wang Pingyao. She explained to her father several times that she didn't want to marry Wang Pingyao, but Wei Wuxing insisted and even locked her up in the mansion. Wei Qingyue couldn't get out of the Wei's Mansion and could only go to the third uncle Wei Wuyan, she met Zhang Yan who came to entangle her before she arrived at the third uncle's room. When Zhang Kai saw Yu Qingyue, he immediately smiled and said, "Sister Qingyue, good sister, help me talk to the third master, and teach me a few styles casually." Wei Qingyue was angry when she saw Zhang Kai, glared at him, ignored him, and went directly to find Wei Wuyan, Zhang Kai saw Yu Qingyue going in the direction of the third master's room, and hurriedly followed, the two knocked on the door of Wei Wuyan's room, and when they heard the response, they entered the house.
When Wei Wuyan saw the two of them coming over, he asked, "Qingyue, is there something wrong?" ”
Wei Qingyue hadn't figured out how to tell the third uncle about his desire to resist marriage, he was stunned for a while, and didn't speak, Zhang Kai hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Third master, I've been here for a few days, you are also my elder, if you have spare time, you can guide me a few tricks and teach me the method of heavenly thunder." ”
Wei Wuyan actually didn't hate Zhang Kai, on the contrary, he also had some expectations for this kid, Zhang Kai followed Meng Ji when he was a child, and his talents were extremely high, but his temperament was a little too frivolous. It happened that Zhang Kai came over again today, and he decided to knock it, so he said, "Why do you want to learn the Heavenly Thunder Qi of the Wei family?" ”
"Third master, isn't this obvious, your hand in the mouth of the beard, the little nephew admires it, and I want to learn the thunder of this day." Zhang Kai thought that there was a drama today, so he hurriedly replied.
"Let me ask you, can your general Meng Ji be regarded as a master?" Wei Wuyan continued to ask.
"Of course, the fourth on the martial arts list, the Mo Dao Sect Master." Zhang Kai didn't think about it, and blurted out.
"How did Meng Ji treat you?" Wei Wuyan asked again.
"The general treats me like a parent." Zhang Kai was a little puzzled by Wei Wuyan's question.
"Okay, then let me ask you, if I fight against Meng Ji, what do you think I have to win?" This question made Zhang Kai hesitate a little, one is fourth on the martial arts list, one is eighth on the martial arts list, most people will think that Meng Ji has a better chance of winning, but at this moment he is begging Professor Wei Wuyan to be thunderous, and he can't flatter him at will.
Seeing Zhang Kai's hesitation, Wei Wuyan continued: "I can't spend a hundred rounds under the Meng Ji Mo sword, and cultivating martial arts is like being a person, you are insisting on single-mindedness, I see that you have Mo Dao sword intent in your broadsword, but your cultivation is not one-fifth of Meng Ji, you have a high-grade martial arts cultivation path and do not go deep, but come to find another way, you think about it yourself." ”
Listening to Wei Wuyan's words, Zhang Kai was silent, he lowered his head and thought for a while, got up and arched his hand, and his tone became firm: "Thank you Third Master Wei, I understand." After speaking, he turned around and left Wei Wuyan's room.
Wei Qingyue waited until Zhang Kai left, and said, "Third uncle, this kid should not come again if you say this." ”
"Well, he is a piece of jade, but he still needs to be carved, if he can really change this frivolous temperament, his future achievements will be immeasurable, and Meng Ji will not look at the wrong person." After Wei Wuyan finished speaking, he asked again: "You came to me for marriage?" ”
Wei Qingyue nodded, she had thought of a lot of words, but at this moment, she suddenly didn't know how to say it, and barely squeezed out a sentence: "I don't want to get married, can you help me, third uncle?" ”
"Big brother won't agree, this is what our generation owes to the Wang family." Wei Wuyan's tone was also extremely helpless.
Hearing the third uncle say this, Wei Qingyue's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was a little sobbing: "What do you owe?" Why? Third uncle, I really don't want to marry Wang Pingyao. ”
Wei Wuyan stood up and looked out the window, today's sunlight was a little dazzling, he turned his back and said: "In the first battle of Hangu Pass, the most elite young generation of the four countries at that time was gathered, there were Meng Ji, Zhou Bai, your father and me in the north, and there were Qi Jun, Ye Zheng, and the three brothers of the Wang family in the south, as well as a large number of masters from various countries. It was Wang Pingyao's eldest uncle Wang Zhixuan and the third uncle Wang Zhichen who sacrificed their lives to save us, after the war, the two families decided to be in-laws, Wang Zhixuan's daughter entered the palace and became the queen mother later, and the two families set their in-laws on you and Wang Pingyao, so this marriage is imperative, even if I go to tell the eldest brother, it is useless. ”
Wei Qingyue finally knew why his father insisted on this marriage contract so much, even though the Wang family had almost disappeared, he still insisted on marrying himself to Wang Pingyao. She got up silently and walked outside the room. Suddenly, Wei Wuyan spoke again: "Qingyue, forget about Sun Lin." ”
