After Bufeng finished selling the fish, he came to the lake under the willow tree according to Liuyun's agreement, and Liuyun had not yet returned, and sure enough, he saw two outsiders waiting under the willow tree.

Bufeng stepped forward to ask, and sure enough, it was Liuyun's entourage, so he told him about the past and waited for Liuyun here.

Let's say that Liuyun is taking a boat to enjoy the lake, about an hour of rowing, to see the scenery of Jinniu Lake, then let the boatman dock, see that it is still early, and then prepare to go back for a while.

So I walked to the crowd gathering place by the lake, and saw an old storyteller, who was telling a story, and a group of people around listened with relish. There was a teenage girl beside the storyteller, dressed simply, holding an old piano in her hand, and playing and mixing to the rhythm of the old storyteller. It's also interesting.

Liuyun had never seen such a storytelling scene before, so he felt fresh and curious, so he stepped forward and also gathered in the group of people to listen to the old man's storytelling.

The old man was originally from the land of Wu Yue, and what he said was naturally the story of the land of Wu Yue.

The Qiantang River is the place where Wu and Yue are divided, and Hangzhou is located on the north and south banks of the Qiantang River, which can be called "Wu and Yue carry it together". The Qiantang River basin is home to a large number of celebrities and has a profound cultural heritage.

The old man was telling the story of Lin Nan's virgin.

Nanlin virgin, some ancient books also call her Nanlin virgin, according to legend as a female swordsman in the Spring and Autumn Period. Yue people. The "virgin" here is not a virgin in the modern sense. In ancient times, people who were virtuous and talented but did not want to come out to be officials were often called "virgins", because they were women, so the usage of "virgins" should be the same as "virgins".

The more virgins come out of Nanlin, the king of Yue is an envoy to hire them, and ask about the art of the sword. But no one knows the real name of Nanlin Virgin, only that she grew up in the mountains and lived in a place called Nanlin, so she is called Nanlin Virgin. Her swordsmanship is said to be innate, and she has not been taught by anyone, so she naturally works in the art of fencing.

Gou Jian's envoy arrived in Nanlin, read out the appointment of the king of Yue and sent a lot of money, and the maiden of Nanlin happily accepted the order and boarded the car to follow the envoy north. On the way, he met a white-haired old man, who called himself "Yuan Gong", stopped in front of the virgin's car and asked the virgin: "I heard that you are good at swordsmanship, can you let me see it?" The virgin smiled modestly and said, "I don't dare to hide anything, I just want to try it with the old man." “

Yuan Gong didn't say much, he plucked a bamboo with his hand, the upper branches of the bamboo had withered, the ends were broken and degraded, and the virgin quickly caught the ends of the bamboo before the bamboo landed. Yuan Gong held the root of the bamboo and stabbed it at the virgin, was gently avoided by the virgin, and held the end of the bamboo to shoot back at Yuan Gong, so that the blow was three rounds, the bamboo in Yuan Gong's hand was suddenly snatched away by the virgin, and hit Yuan Gong with the momentum, Yuan Gong suddenly flew up the tree, turned into a white ape, let out a long roar, jumped like flying, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The envoy sitting in the car was stunned when he saw this scene, and admired Nanlin's exquisite swordsmanship very much.

Accompanied by the envoys, the virgin of Nanlin met the king of Yue and introduced the subtlety of kendo to the king of Yue, and the king of Yue was very happy and named the virgin "Yue Nu". Next, "I ordered the captains of the five schools to learn from the high talents to teach the sergeants." It means that the captains of the five schools of the Vietnamese army were ordered to learn the swordsmanship of the Yue Nu first, and then teach it to the soldiers of each team after learning it, and it didn't take long to train an elite soldier who was good at fencing.

It should be noted that the "five schools" is a kind of army establishment, which was only set up during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, referring to the five captains of the tun cavalry, infantry, Yue cavalry, Changshui, and shooting, and the Wei army of the Three Kingdoms also had five schools, middle bases, and three battalions of Wuwei. The Jin Dynasty, the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Dynasties Wei and Qi also had five captains.

At that time, people called the swordsmanship taught by Yue Nu "Yue Nu Swordsmanship", and it was passed on by people to be miraculous, so "Wu Yue Chunqiu" said: "Later generations can not win the sword of Yue Nu." This kind of swordsmanship has appeared many times in many later martial arts novels, and the story of Yue Nu was written into a martial arts novel "Yue Nu Sword" by Mr. Jin Yong, a master of martial arts novels, and she also gave her a nice name called A Qing.

Chen Yin was the fifth descendant of the archery of Chu in the late Spring and Autumn Period of the Chu State and was a famous archer and arrow shooter at that time.

Ju Jian adopted Fan Li's suggestion and sent an envoy to Chu to hire Chen Yin. Gou Jian asked him for advice on archery and the origin of the bow and crossbow. Chen Yin replied: "The minister heard that the crossbow was born from the bow, and the bow was born from the bullet, and it played the filial son of the ancients. It means that the crossbow developed from the bow, and the bow developed from the bullet, and as for the bullet, it originated from a filial son in ancient times.

Gou Jian didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at the time, so he asked, "What can I do with the filial piety?" “

Chen Yin said that in ancient times, the people were simple, and when they were hungry, they would hunt birds and beasts to satisfy their hunger, and when they were thirsty, they would drink fog and dew, and when they died, they would wrap their corpses in white thatch and put them in the wilderness. There was a filial son who couldn't bear to see his parents' corpses being eaten by birds and beasts, so he made a slingshot, guarded next to his parents' corpses, and used projectiles to drive away birds and beasts, singing while shooting bullets: "Broken bamboo, continue bamboo, fly earth, chase harm."

This song was later called "Dan Song", which not only illustrates the origin of Chinese bows and arrows, but also became the earliest two-word poem in ancient China. Since the slingshot is made of bamboo, it will break after a long time of ejection, and then make a new one out of bamboo after it is broken, which is "broken bamboo, continue bamboo", and "flying soil, chasing harm" is a projectile made of soil, which is used to drive away the harm of birds and beasts.

According to Chen Yin's account, later Shennong's made wooden bows and arrows, which shocked the Quartet. After the Yellow Emperor, there is an arc father. Father Arc was born in the later Jingshan of Chu, and he was born without parents, and when he was young, he was good at using bows and arrows, and none of the birds and beasts he shot could escape.

Later, Arc's father passed on his archery skills to Yi, who in turn passed them to Xiao Meng, who in turn passed them on to Chu Qin's clan. Qin believed that the power of the bow and arrow at that time was no longer enough to deter the world, so he set up a mechanism on the bow and arrow, which became a crossbow, and the power was even more powerful. Qin's crossbow skills were passed on to the three marquis of Chu, namely the marquis of elk, the marquis of Yi, and the marquis of Wei, and the three marquis of Chu passed on to the king of the spirit. Chen Yin's ancestors learned archery skills in Chudi, and Chen Yin has passed through the fifth generation.

Finally, Chen Yin also introduced the structural principle and function of the crossbow to the king of Yue, and the king of Yue praised it and asked Chen Yin to "do the way of the son, and wish the son to teach my people".

Chen Yin agreed to Gou Jian very happily and assured: "The Tao comes from heaven, things lie in people, and what people are accustomed to is nothing but God." This means that although the way of archery comes from nature, things are man-made. As long as people are willing to study hard, there is no one who is not proficient in God.

So Yue Wang Gou ordered Chen Yin to train soldiers in archery in the northern suburbs of Huiji. After three months, all the sergeants were able to master the skills of the bow and crossbow and use them skillfully, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Vietnamese sergeants and became an important military means to destroy Wu.

In the image of Yue Nu created by someone in later generations, it is Yue Nu Ah Qing.

A country girl in the country of Yue, a shepherd girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old. A melon seed face, long eyelashes and big eyes, fair skin, slender figure, and very beautiful appearance. She is wearing a light green shirt, weak and delicate, her voice is delicate and crisp, her personality is innocent, and her speech is childish.

Because she was born in the deep forest and grew up in the wilderness, she has a kind of frankness that does not understand the world but has a pure heart, and she is not polite to a big official like Fan Li. However, she has magical swordsmanship. On the street in Huiji City, when eight Wu swordsmen knocked the long swords of Fan Li's two guards to the ground, and divided one of her goats into two with superb swordsmanship for no reason, Ah Qing held a bamboo stick and blinded the eyes of two Wu swordsmen with four moves, and blinded each of the six swordsmen, and then stabbed the wrist of a Wu swordsman with a stick, and knocked the long swords of the other five to the ground. Eight Wu swordsmen were horrified and angry when they were defeated by a shepherd girl, some roaring, some trembling. Ah Qing told them to pay for the sheep, otherwise they would be blinded in their other eye. Fan Li promised to compensate the sheep and released the envoys of Wu. Fan Li wanted to invite Ah Qing's master to coach Yue Shi in order to break the Wu Kingdom, and Ah Qing's master turned out to be the white father-in-law who played with her every day when she was thirteen years old - a white ape.

Bai Gonggong wanted to stab Fan Li to death three times in a row, but he was stopped by Ah Qing, who had already fallen in love with Fan Li, and cut off Bai Gonggong's two arms. Ah Qing was invited by Fan Li to train the swordsmen of the Yue Kingdom, and a few days later, Ah Qing disappeared.

Ah Qing's swordsmanship is natural, the sword has no real name, and some things may not be remembered by people as history slowly passes, but Ah Qing's mythical deeds have been handed down, and later generations will call the shadow of the sword that has been handed down as "Yue Nu Swordsmanship". Ah Qing is an innocent girl who doesn't know how to teach people swordsmanship, but "the eighty Yue swordsmen haven't learned Ah Qing's swordsmanship, but they have seen the shadow of the sword with their own eyes." Everyone knows that there is such a magical swordsmanship in the world. Eighty people taught the shadow of the sword technique that was barely grasped by a flash to others, and with this flickering shadow of the divine sword, the swordsmanship of the warriors of the Yue Kingdom was invincible in the world.

This is the story of Lin Nan's virgin.
