Chapter 199: Lao Ji Fu Fang
The whistling grew louder and louder, and if at first it was just a murmuring stream, now it was a raging wave crashing on the shore, wave after wave, wave after wave, wave after wave of tide angrily lapping the shore, and the splash of water everywhere exhaled angrily, and then scattered on the beach as a mercury star, and disappeared. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This howling sound is like a cloud dragon chanting, high and low, shadows and shadows, back and forth, long and short, until people think that there is really that dragon, shaking its head and tail through the clouds and the sun, with ancient pride and memories, descending on this world.
Liu Xu followed the prestige, an old man dressed in a robe, wearing a forest and snow, although the snow was three inches thick, it did not hinder his movement at all, just like a fish swimming in the water.
Liu Xu's eyes shrank slightly, the person who came turned out to be a martial artist, seeing him step on the snow, his demeanor was natural, obviously not a mediocre hand, and then listening to this whistling sound, it was obvious that he was full of energy, but he was afraid that his martial arts had reached the realm.
Although he was amazed, he was not particularly worried, this world is a historical world, not a martial arts world, even the top players in the prime of the rivers and lakes can't withstand the attack of dozens of daring soldiers, not to mention that this person is old, his muscles and bones have failed, although his skills have reached the peak, but his strength is not as good as before, plus he has more than a dozen guards, and Bo Long, who is proficient in the way of guarding assassination, I think this person can't pose too much threat to himself.
After eliminating the threat, Liu Xu shouted with a smile: "Wearing the forest and stepping on the snow, the attitude is chic, the green pines on the left and right, the upper and lower worlds, Meigong is really a high hidden in the forest, there is such a master to accompany him!" ”
It was only when he was shouting that the old man had already walked in front of him, and Liu Xu saw his face. It was an old, strong and somewhat depressed face, the old man's eyebrows were all white, a little purer than the snow around him, and there were always a few variegated colors in the hair of others, but there was not a trace of variegation in his eyebrows; His eyes were not big, but a pair of pupils shone brightly, like two small starlights, scorching and shining; His muscles and bones are old, which can be seen from his loose skin and the age spots on it, but his bones are still strong, and Liu Xu has no doubt that these hands can break the neck of a strong man in one fell swoop.
Bo Long, who was guarding on the side, had already quietly put his right hand on the hilt of the battle sword, and the opponent who could make this iron-blooded mercenary who fought out of the sea of corpses and blood pay attention to was definitely not an ordinary person.
The old man walked up to the front and bowed down like a jade pillar like a gold mountain: "Don't dare to be praised by Liu Gong!" Old man Chen Kong, I have seen Liu Gong! ”
When he speaks, it is as if metal is striking against each other, and he emits a strong voice, which also shows that he is definitely a samurai of steel.
Such a character, when he joins the army, he is a battlefield general, when he enters the rivers and lakes, he is a generation of heroes, and when he enters the temple, he is a powerful cronies, how can he be reduced to this place and live in seclusion with his distant relatives?
Liu Xu suddenly became curious, and couldn't help but say: "Chen Daxia, please get up, look at your skills and bearing, you are by no means an ordinary person, I don't know how to live here?" ”
Hearing this, a trace of pain flashed in Chen Kong's eagle-like sharp eyes, he was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Don't dare to be a hero, just call me Chen Kong." Young and ignorant, I think I can dominate the world after learning a few skills, I don't know the height of the sky, I do the wrong thing, and the family is ruined, and now I think about it vividly, miserable! As he spoke, his voice trembled a little: "If it weren't for Meigong's rescue, Chen Kong would have died in the ravine, and Chen Kong decided to accompany Meigong to live in seclusion, and now it's been thirty and six years!" ”
Liu Xu couldn't help but be a little moved, the first twenty years of this warrior's life were spent in hard training and tempering his will, and he finally cultivated into an earth-shattering ability, but because of his ill-fated journey, he suffered a catastrophe, and after being rescued by Meigong, he lived in seclusion with him, and threw the best years of his life in this landscape, how sad it is!
The young man does not know the depth of the world, resulting in the separation of relatives; I can't bear to go in the middle of the year, and I stay in the mountains in a good year; The old age has no regrets, and the temples have been stars!
Liu Xu sighed and sighed, Daming has never lacked talented people, heroes and heroes, but the world has Bole and then Maxima, if you don't have the opportunity to use it, no matter if you have great talent and amazing talent, you can't display it, Chen Kong in front of you is the best example.
"The old man is in the bush, his ambition is thousands of miles, the martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong!" Liu Xu recited a verse, and then asked: "Chen Kong, you have guarded Meigong for thirty-six years, and the great kindness should be repaid, I have something I want to ask you today, I don't know if you are willing." ”
"Liu Gong, please speak!" Although he kept saying "please speak", Chen Kong's voice was already a little trembling, obviously he also guessed what Liu Xu was going to say, but this strong and proud warrior wanted to maintain his dignity, so he was unwilling to take the initiative to take refuge.
Liu Xu said sincerely and sadly: "Liu Xu was originally a cloth cloth in Songjiang, and he only wanted to be loyal and filial to his family and country, not to be known in the world, but he was a pure minister in the country, and he had to raise his arms and shout to maintain the Taoist system." Liu Xu paid the luck of the sky, and was rewarded by the emperor with a meritorious official position, which was promoted by the emperor to the reckless virtue. It's just that today I saw that Mr. was so talented, he should have raised the prestige of the country in a foreign land and opened up the territory of God in all directions, but now he is suppressed in this small mountain and small water, and he cannot be used. ”
He said this very painfully, and it seemed to poke Chen Kong's heart, so Chen Kong just lowered his head and thought, but Liu Xu's eyes were sharp, and he seemed to see a few drops of water on the ground, which seemed to be the tears shed by this old warrior.
The family tragedy of his youth, the loneliness of the hero for thirty-six years, and the inner turmoil of tossing and turning in the middle of the night have completely hardened his heart into a piece of ice and iron, and it seems that he can no longer make any waves. But Liu Gong's praise and understanding, the first person in the Ming literary world, is like lava from the center of the earth, completely melting the shell he used to protect himself.
"Liu Gong, Liu Gong, Chen Kong is a martial artist, he can't afford to be praised like this......" Chen Kong knelt down, and said in a choked tone, if it is said that the kneeling at the beginning still has the element of etiquette, the current kneeling ceremony is purely from the heart.
"Why can't you afford it!" Liu Xu confirmed that Chen Kong was really moved, so he walked over, signaled Bo Long not to stop him, and then gently supported Chen Kong: "Sir, you don't have to be like this, it is said that you have a relationship with Meiping, I shouldn't take advantage of you, but after all, I have an official position, and I can't lose the dignity of the court, how about you and I be commensurate with each other?" After saying that, he made a lot of effort, intending to help Chen Kong.
Although Liu Xu has always insisted on exercising, Chen Kong has been practicing hard for decades, although he is old and weak, but after all, he has a strong foundation, Liu Xu helped him, but he felt that he was as hard as an iron stone and couldn't help him at all.
"Liu Gong, Liu Gong!" Chen Kong said loudly: "Chen Kong is just a village man, and he used to be a human being, how can he be worthy of being a fellow of your peers?" It's too tormenting! ”
"No, no, you get up, let's talk!" As Liu Gong spoke, he forcibly pulled Chen Kong.
Chen Kong was afraid of hurting Liu Xu, and saw that Liu Xu was sincere, so he stood up with emotion, but he still lowered his head and said respectfully: "Liu Gong, the old man is a martial artist, you are a literary and mortal, how can you be worthy of such love!" ”
"Why can't you afford it!" Liu Xu scolded loudly: "Now is the time when the world is swinging, and the night is small, there are Jiannu in the north, barbarians in the south, domestic civil uprisings, and the four seas are bloody, it is the time for heroes to use force!" Those who practice literature must have armament, I created Datongism, which is to implement culture and education, and establish Taoism, but without armament, without martial arts heroes, how can we defend Datong and defend my Yanhan Taoism! ”
"This ......" Chen Kong was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but this surprise was then covered up by pain, and he said sadly: "But the old man, the old man is already dying, how can he do such a big thing!" After speaking, he shook his head again and sighed: "Old, old, these days, I feel powerless to practice martial arts!" How nice it would have been if I had met Liu Gong so many decades earlier! ”
His tone was sad, hiding the sadness of not knowing how many heroes had been in the twilight but had achieved nothing!
Liu Xu immediately said: "That's not right!" Ambition is not in old age, as long as you can exert your own heat, even if it is a twilight year, you can still achieve something! Someone else has spent sixty years doing something, and you only take ten years to do it, even if it's a little later, so what? ”
"However, but the old man's body bones are not as good as before after all, it's okay to block the knife for Liu Gong, if you go into battle to kill the enemy, it's a pity to lose this old life, but I'm afraid of ruining Liu Gong's big thing!" Chen Kong's tone was already a little loose, but he still had some concerns, after all, he was a proud martial artist, if he couldn't achieve something, but brought humiliation on himself, it was better to die directly.
For some birds, feathers and wings are more important than life; For some people, honor and pride are more important than anything else.
Liu Xu laughed and said, "Sir, don't worry! My Datong army is now training the new army, since Mr. is not suitable to go into battle to kill the enemy, I will explain to Meigong, you can help me train the army, how about being a chief instructor? My Datong army is half of musketeers and half pikemen, and there is also a heavily armored trap camp, with Mr.'s martial arts, I think I can train a peerless tiger for me! Wait for us to successfully open up Yizhou, come back and sweep Jiannu, and then go straight to Huanglong, and drink with all the kings! ”
When it comes to this, if you refuse again, you don't know what to do, so Chen Kong no longer refused, just knelt down, and said in a choked tone: "Liu Gong, so loving, Chen Kong will die to repay it!" (To be continued.) )
