Chapter Seventy-Six: Ups and Downs
Three years later, three years later, the new martial arts review of the Duan Dynasty still did not change much, but there was a monk who left the dynasty, and he made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes in the past three years.
The rivers and lakes have ups and downs, some newcomers have come out, some old people have gone, and some have failed to succeed in their careers and died halfway.
Li Qinghe, who once broke the tide with one palm and became famous all over the world, disappeared for three years, and has long been forgotten by others.
Now the rookie in the rivers and lakes is a young man named Liu Song, whose fame is no less famous than Li Qinghe back then.
In the three years that this Sword Pavilion disciple has been washing the sword pool, he has been chasing all the way, and he has entered the ninth rank in three years, which is only comparable to the Tanglin Sword Immortal back then.
At the same time, the disciples of the same realm of the younger generation of the Sword Washing Pool were invincible, and they were defeated by a hundred tricks in the hands of a person from the Blind Pivot Realm.
Everyone said that this time it was the turn of the East China Sea Sword Pavilion to re-emerge, and this kid was quite similar to Gu Juchen, the god of the snow sword back then.
Under the gate of the Sword Washing Pond, Songguo'er carried a long sword on his back and saluted respectfully towards Gu Juchen.
"Thank you for your three years of teaching. ”
Gu Juchen looked at him with a smile and waved his hand indifferently: "No need to do this, you already know who I am, I don't know when we will see each other, but think about everything, my generation of swordsmen should be worthy of the three-foot sword in his hand." ”
"Understood!"
Songguo'er turned over and got on her horse, and the fifteen disciples who had left in the Sword Washing Pool in the Sword Pavilion three years ago rode away and left with a roar.
Not long after, the head of the Sword Washing Pool stood beside Gu Juchen with a wooden cane, and there seemed to be confusion in his eyes.
"Master, I still say the same thing, swordsmen should not be obsessed with external objects, thinking that being a sword is the right way, no matter how spiritual those seven swords are, they are not as good as others. ”
"That's why you taught this kid with all your heart?"
Gu Juchen smiled freely, brushed his sleeves and left: "The way of the sword should not be extinguished, for the sake of the sect dispute, deliberately ignore it, it is not the swordsman's doing." ”
On the mountain road, the head of the house was silent for a long time, and finally turned into a sigh.
The ups and downs on the rivers and lakes did not bring much joy to the people, because the imperial court raised the tax of 10% three years ago, which is insignificant for Jiangnan, but for Yuezhou, Qingzhou and other places, it is tantamount to adding insult to injury.
But even so, the imperial court is also in the cold winter in the war.
Three years ago, the right general of Wudian personally led 150,000 right guards to attack Mangdang Pass, but three years later, he was defeated and retreated, not only did the army have only 50,000 left, but even lost two cities.
A dark cloud of oppression permeated the temples and affected the livelihoods of the people.
At the same time, it is also regrettable that Lu Ze, the new champion of the new department two years ago, was left by His Majesty as a counselor in the Privy Council of Chang'an City because of his talent during the palace examination.
It can be said that it has soared into the sky, soaring, and the future is limitless.
But later, because he was dissatisfied with the battle at Mangdang Pass in the court, he bluntly pointed out the childlike mistakes of General Wudianyou, which led to the defeat of the war.
even confronted His Majesty in the court, bluntly saying that his employment was unclear, his decrees were unclear, and his choices continued.
If it weren't for Taishi Xie stopping him at that time, Lu Ze would have been in a different place, and in the end, he was relegated to the Jiangbei County Horse Farm to raise horses because of the blessing of the Xie family in Jiangnan, barely surviving his life.
And the lychees in Jiangnan County are no longer moving goods at the wharf, after Lu Ze entered Chang'an, he asked someone to set up a small shop to sell some simple breakfast, although he didn't earn much, but it was easier than walking on foot, after all, Lychee was a girl after all.
......
......
On Taihe Mountain, Li Changan stood in the Taihe Hall and respectfully worshiped the Taoist ancestor.
He is the same age as Li Qinghe, and although he is twenty-six today, he is still young and arrogant in his heart, but four years of precipitation have made him understand what it means to be calm, his eyes are no longer impatient, and he is more mature.
"Master, I'm leaving. ”
"Remember to come back often. Cui Laodao said gently, becoming more and more like an ordinary old man.
"Got it, Master. ”
After saluting, Li Changan nodded, turned around and walked out of the main hall, and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Master Bosu Aoki was waiting for him.
"Master, uncle. ”
"Check back often. ”
Li Changan was puzzled, thinking that he would say it as if he would never go back, but he still replied respectfully, 'I know'.
When Li Changan was completely far away, Su Qingmu sighed and returned to the top of the mountain.
In the main hall, Cui Laodao still smiled, but sometimes coughed twice.
"Master, Your Body ......"
Cui Laodao waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it's just that I have a cold, and it's a little cold." ”
Wind chill, what are you kidding, the head of Taihe Shancui will get wind chill?
Su Qingmu closed his mouth and didn't say anything more.
In fact, Cui Laodao's qualifications are not geniuses, he was frail and sickly when he was young, and he was not even as good as Su Qingmu, who sold meat.
Even though he has become the first in the world now, his age is too old, and if he doesn't ascend to the gate of heaven, his body will begin to decline.
Su Qingmu is the same, he is two years older than Cui Laodao, and he also feels that his body is not as good as before, but there is no sign of piercing the layer of window paper.
"Chang'an is leaving, I'm afraid I don't know when I will come back. ”
"Master, you mean ......"
"Aoki, don't treat him like a child anymore...... After the New Year this year, Taihe Mountain will close the mountain. ”
"Master?!"
Cui Laodao shook his head and waved his hand to signal Su Qingmu to retreat, leaving him alone to look up at Dao Ancestor and be silent.
......
......
Li Changan, who left Taihe Mountain, once again felt what it means to be high in the sky and let the birds fly.
Now that he has reached the realm of the ninth grade, his vision has improved a new step, and he truly understands what the gap in the realm is.
At the same time, I also admire the young man named Liu Song, Jiupin fought hard and lost in a hundred moves, which is indeed extraordinary.
But he didn't have the heart to challenge everywhere like his father, Donghai must go to see the scenery, but before that, he had to go to Li Village to see the lychees, and then go to Jiangnan to find the great master Luo Xinghe to 'thank him'.
Finally, there is Li Qinghe, who has not heard from him for three years, and I don't know what happened.
At this time, it was summer, Li Changan traveled all the way to Li Village, first visited the school, and found that Mr. Chen was no longer here, and I heard that he had gone to Chang'an City.
Then he climbed over the wall and entered Li Qinghe's yard, and swept the floor for him.
When I finally arrived at Li's house, I learned from Qing'er that Lychee had run away from home five years ago and had not been heard from since.
Li Changan was stunned in his heart, and had a bad premonition, feeling that he had become a search for someone when he re-entered the rivers and lakes, and he had to find these two wrongdoers first.
Shaking his head, he sat in the restaurant and drank wine, with the weapon tightly wrapped in cloth beside him, and he couldn't tell the taste in his heart.
Xiao Er has become the shopkeeper back then, and when he saw the original young owner, he naturally had good wine and food, and he even remembered what Li Changan liked to eat.
But time waits for no one, Li Changan stayed in Li Village for one night and left.
When I went out of the village in the early morning, I met a young man, who didn't seem to be a local, so I chatted casually, but it was quite compatible.
As soon as I inquired, I also went to Jiangnan County, so the two of them went on the road together.
During this period, Li Changan concealed his identity, and he was still a member of the Qiankun Gang of Qiling County, and took the name of Li An.
And the other party also arched his hand, saying that he was a small faction in the rivers and lakes, a person from Yunzhou in the East China Sea, with a surname and a clear name.
