Chapter 4 Clear water and clear wind
The avenue is reincarnated, and the rise and fall have their own common sense. The cycle repeats, and the hero does not ask where he comes from. In all dynasties, the more disputes and wars were all over the field, the more heroes and talents came out in large numbers. And when the prosperous era is peaceful, living and working in peace and contentment, there are very few people who stand out from the crowd. Tiansheng Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, under the four generations of emperors, long-term stability, to the Qing Yan Emperor, diligent government and love the people, light taxation, so the situation is called a sentence "Qing Yan prosperous era" is not an exaggeration.
More than 100 years ago, the rivers and lakes were surging, heroes were numerous, there were countless famous swordsmen and knights, and the martial arts sect was very prosperous. And now, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the disputes are gradually decreasing, and the martial arts in the rivers and lakes are naturally silent, and the only ones that can be regarded as martial arts factions are only "one water, one day, seven holy lands, three mountains, four hidden and five Beidou".
"One water" is "water and wind clear", or it can be called the valley of medicine, no one knows its origin, and no one knows when it began to exist, only know that since the day of the rivers and lakes, the water and wind have never disappeared. The successive masters of Shui Feng Qing are all famous doctors all over the world, they have mysterious medical skills inherited from ancient times, and many prescriptions and secret techniques may have been lost in the rivers and lakes, but that does not mean that there is no Shui Feng Qing. Of course, if only medical skills are handed down, Shui Fengqing will not be in the first place, after all, martial arts is a place where strength speaks, and almost all the masters of Shui Fengqing are top masters, just like its mysterious origin, mysterious martial arts are also a secret. Such a mysterious place naturally attracted a lot of coveting, perhaps in order to protect the doorman, Shui Fengqing was built in a place that no one knew, countless people tried to find it, but all in vain, and some people even lost their lives for it.
"One day" is the "Heavenly Absolute Palace", compared with the water and wind that are half hidden in the rivers and lakes, the Heavenly Absolute Palace is a real sect of rivers and lakes, but it is not a place where anyone can go. Tianjue, Tianjue, nature is the closest place to the top of the sky, Tianjue Palace is located on the snow ridge of the Tianshan Mountains, where the snow is covered all the year round, the cold wind is raging, and people who lack skill can't even go up at all, how can they get a glimpse of its whole picture? The Heavenly Absolute Swordsman only accepts one apprentice in the past dynasties, and each generation is a world-famous swordsman, and his martial arts are even higher than Shui Fengqing, and he wants to worship under the gate of the Heavenly Absolute Palace, but there are almost no people who can climb to the top of the Tianshan Snow Ridge.
"Seven Holy Land" is also handed down from ancient times seven places, legend has it that these seven places Zhong Ling Yuxiu, is an excellent place to practice martial arts, they have a martial arts inheritance second only to "one water and one day", but later, this "Seven Holy Land" has become seven families: Longxi Huang, Yanzhou Jiang, Youzhou Yan, Yangzhou Dongfang, Jiangling Zhuge Clan, Lingnan Baili Clan, Fengxiang Dugu Clan. The seven great families have their own strengths and strengths, or they are no longer pure martial arts families.
"Three Mountains" refers to Mount Emei, Mount Kunlun, Hengduan Mountain, Emei faction is a group of female Taoist sects established, the head of the Qingshuang division is too strong in martial arts, high morality; The Kunlun faction lives far away in the Western Regions, and the number of martial arts paths is also very different from that of the Central Plains; Hengduanmen is in the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest, and it is said that most of their subordinates are people from the Southern Barbarians, who are good at using Gu and witchcraft, so the people in the rivers and lakes think that it is a side door and left, which is quite shameful.
The "four hidden" are more mysterious than the "one water and one day", and even people can't tell whether they still exist in the world. The Four Hidden Tribes are actually four special and mysterious races, named after the "Wind and Snow Moon", a few years ago, the Four Yin tribes were massacred, and since then they have disappeared and never appeared on the rivers and lakes again. Despite this, the legends about them are so complex that many people do not believe that they will become extinct, so they are still included in the Jianghu sect.
"Five Beidou" is Shaolin, Wudang, Huashan, Hengshan, Tangmen five sects, these five sects are much more ordinary than the previously mentioned sects, their disciples are mostly walking on the rivers and lakes, in addition to the Tang Sect, the other four sects are regularly open the mountain gate to recruit disciples, ordinary people may not know other sects, but these sects can be said to be household names.
Now, the place where Lou Weiyu is located is the "one water" in the "One Water One Day and Seven Holy Lands" - Shui Fengqing, and his master, Mr. Dan Xing, Gu Zhen, is the master of Shui Fengqing of this generation, and it is also here that Lou Weiyu knows what kind of opportunity she missed in her previous life, and even sometimes she wonders if God thinks she is too uncherished, so she died so miserably.
The water and wind are clear, as the name suggests, must be built in a place where there is water, thousands of poles and green bamboos, sparse leaves and shadows, sunset and sunset, lingering and dependent. Surrounded by water on all sides, the blue stream shines in the shadows, and the shadows fall into pairs, swaying vividly. Not far away, the green hills are faint, and they continue to look at each other. The wind blows, the air seems to be fresh with water, and the birds can be heard from time to time in the silence, which can really be regarded as a fairyland on earth.
"Do you like it here?" Gu Zhen asked her with a smile.
Looking at the buildings and scenery in front of him, he nodded vigorously, "I like it, I like it very much, it's so beautiful here!" ”
Gu Zhen looked at this newly recruited apprentice, who was well-behaved and silent along the way, as sensible and obedient as a little adult, but now he suddenly showed a little bit of the liveliness that a five-year-old child should have. Her little face was already exquisite, but now it looked bright and vibrant, and he could see that this apprentice was very smart, very smart, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he had accepted a good apprentice, and he also liked it tightly.
Yue Huaming is the main building in the water and breeze, and it is also the place where the water and wind are clear in the discussion and routine meeting, after Lou Weiyu followed Gu Zhen in, there were already disciples serving tea, Gu Zhen was on the main seat, and commanded: "Ring the bell", and there were disciples who took the order and left, and after a while, nine bells that were not long or short rang in the valley, and in less than a pillar of incense, many people gathered in Yue Huaming. Only then did Wei Yu know that the bell was ringing to gather everyone.
When everyone came, Gu Zhen raised his hand and ordered everyone to sit down, at this time, he was no longer gentle and loving when he first saw him, and he showed that he was already the majestic demeanor of the lord of a faction.
Looking up at it, there were about twelve people, half men and half women, old and young, but their appearance was very outstanding. She looked at them one by one curiously, but she didn't know that everyone was also secretly looking at her.
"Sit down, I summoned everyone here today for one thing", Gu Zhen said as he glanced at everyone, and then turned to Weiyu and called.
Wei Yu heard this, got up and picked up the teapot on the tray in the hands of the disciple next to him and poured a cup of tea, and then walked to the middle with the cup in both hands, and knelt down steadily towards Gu Zhen: "Master is above, the apprentice building will give tea to Master before rain!" The voice with a hint of milk was sweet and steady, and everyone who had a little guess did not show much surprise at this time, since they heard that the valley master brought back a little girl, they knew that the valley master was going to be accepted as a disciple.
Weiyu knelt on the ground, and when she said this, she obviously felt a very unfriendly gaze falling on her, and it passed in an instant, maybe because of rebirth, Weiyu was particularly sensitive to some perceptual things, and she was sure that it was not an illusion.
"Okay, from today onwards, you are my Gu Zhen's apprentice, the forty-seventh generation disciple of Shui Fengqing, I hope you will abide by the rules of Shui Fengqing, and you will be blue." Gu Zhen took the tea and drank it, and said solemnly.
"If the disciple obeys the order, he will definitely live up to the master's expectations." Bow down again before the rain.
At this time, Gu Zhenfang showed a smile as usual and hugged Weiyu on his lap.
The twelve people got up together: "Congratulations to the valley master." ”
"Don't be polite, remember in the future, see me before the rain." Gu Zhen commanded.
"Obey the orders of the valley lord".
What followed was a lengthy discussion, Gu Zhen was not in the water and breeze for a long time, and naturally there were a lot of things to report to him when he came back this time, and the twelve people who started stepped forward one by one and reported it clearly. Although I didn't understand anything when I first arrived, I still listened carefully, and after listening too much, I could naturally distinguish some eyebrows.
Shui Fengqing is famous for his medical skills and martial arts, and the former is important, these twelve people are in charge of the medical hall and pharmacy opened by Shui Fengqing in the two capitals and ten provinces, and they are naturally also responsible for some rivers and lakes, Gu Zhen himself does not like to take care of these trivial matters, he often travels around, and he is nowhere to be found, if he is not willing to come back, no one can find him, these stewards have long been accustomed to his style, and they should handle affairs in an orderly manner.
Gu Zhen listened to the report while looking at Weiyu, seeing that she could listen and listen carefully, he nodded with satisfaction, the reason why he wanted to listen to their report so carefully this time was to let Weiyu understand Shui Fengqing, on the other hand, it was to be regarded as a prestige for Weiyu, Shui Fengqing had not accepted outsiders as apprentices for many years, and several of his stewards had hoped that he could accept their children as apprentices, but now he suddenly brought an apprentice back from outside, they didn't say anything, and they were inevitably dissatisfied in their hearts, he took Weiyu to discuss matters, is to tell them clearly that he only has this one apprentice, and Weiyu will be the master of Shui Fengqing in the future, otherwise let the stewards put things in the study and he can look at them slowly, why bother.
————————————————————————————————————————
Weiyu turned the corridor with the book in his hand, his steps were brisk, and his little face was full of sweet smiles. It's been a month since she came to Shui Fengqing, and leaving the cage-like mansion means that her life has deviated from the track of her previous life, she has a new beginning, a new life, there are mountains and rivers, beautiful mountains and rivers, there are handsome and gentle masters, there are also other serious or loving elders, and the most important thing is that there are also many children who are slightly older than her as playmates, although her heart is fifteen years old.
Gu Zhen has not been in a hurry to teach her medical skills and martial arts these days, just let her wander around, familiar with the water and breeze, of course, she also hopes that she can integrate here as soon as possible, of course she understands, and she is grateful for Master's carefulness, and even feels that Gu Zhen is more like her father in her heart.
"Lou Weiyu! Stop! A somewhat sharp voice came, and before the rain followed, a little girl about ** years old stood there, with a melon seed face, red phoenix eyes, and a red dress that was dazzling, like the character of this eldest lady.
Weiyu sighed lightly, he couldn't hide from what he should have come, "Wet clothes, is there something wrong?" ”
"Shut up! Can you shout my name? It's just a wild girl from outside! The little girl said coquettishly, with one hand behind her back, and a silver whip in the other hand pointing at Weiyu, her face was undoubtedly arrogant.
This eldest lady's surname is Xiang Ming, is the pearl of Jiangnan Province steward Xiang Wuhua, although the steward of the two capitals and ten provinces has the same status, but if you really think about it, it is different, Shui Fengqing was originally located in the Yuezhou Mansion of Jiangnan Province, Jiangnan Province can be said to be the most important one, not only the scope is large, but also since ancient times there is a saying "Suhu is ripe, the world is full", and the status of the Jiangnan Provincial steward is naturally invisibly raised.
Although Xiang Zhanyi has a delicate temperament, she has grown up under the watchful eyes of everyone in the valley, and her father is here, so everyone has developed such an arrogant and arrogant temperament under the connivance and pampering. Originally, Gu Zhen did not accept apprentices, Xiang Wuhua was bent on wanting his daughter to worship him as a teacher, and often told her to behave well in front of the valley master, and Xiang was obedient to the clothes elf, so he naturally did so, although Gu Zhen did not let go, but he also loved her very much, which inevitably made her feel that the disciple of the valley master must be her, and even Xiang Wuhua was a little complacent. Who knows, Gu Zhen actually brought a girl back without saying a word this time, and as soon as he came back, he accepted him as a disciple in front of all the stewards in the valley, which was tantamount to giving the father and daughter a slap in the face, and many people gloated behind their backs. After all, Xiang Wuhua is old and calm, but Xiang Zhanyi is used to showing off his might, how can he stand this anger, so in the past month, he has not been less troubled by Lou Weiyu.
Weiyu frowned, she didn't want to make trouble, but this eldest lady was too much, "Xiang Dip, kneel!" Wei Yu reprimanded with a cold face.
"You...... Why did you make Miss Ben kneel! Suddenly seeing Weiyu's face change, Xiang Zhanyi was startled, but she felt fearless, she was provocative in every way in this month, Weiyu was clever to dodge, and there was nowhere to be angry, and she inevitably felt that Weiyu was timid and afraid, she was a soft persimmon, and Gu Zhen didn't stop it, so she felt that the valley owner was not so concerned about this stinky girl, so she dared to stop Weiyu so blatantly today. How did she know that Lou Weiyu was also a good person, and she felt that it was too embarrassing for a person with a psychological age of fifteen to fight a little girl, and she had never mentioned it to Gu Zhen at all, so Gu Zhen didn't know it until now.
"What does the third article of the water and wind clear door rules say?" Lou Weiyu looked at Xiang Zhanyi and said coldly, when she first arrived in the water and breezy water, she didn't think of any conflicts, so she avoided it again and again, hoping that this eldest lady could be more restrained, but now it seems that it is useless, for those who are self-righteous, no matter how you retreat, they will not have self-knowledge, at this moment, Weiyu seems to see Luo's shadow on Xiang Zhanyi's body.
"Article 3 of the door rules, all disciples of Shui Fengqing must respect the valley master and the young master recognized by the valley master, if there is disrespect,...... You, the valley master never said that you want to make you the young master, you don't have this qualification, look at the move! Xiang was annoyed and embarrassed, shook off the silver whip in his hand, and made a move to "fall into the sky" and went towards the rain.
Xiang Zhanyi grew up in Shui Fengqing since he was a child, and began to practice martial arts at the age of six, so he naturally has some martial arts foundation, although this move "Luoxia is full of sky" is still a bit nondescript, but it is by no means a helpless Lou Weiyu can dodge, and this trick is tricky and ruthless, and the whip tip is clearly towards Weiyu's face. Xiang Zhanyi is not unintentional, she has been beautiful since she was a child, it is okay to say that she is a beautiful crown, most of the boys and girls of the same age in the water breeze revolve around her, and they all flatter her with a thousand flatteries, although she disdains, but she enjoys it very much, but after Lou Weiyu came, she first robbed her master, and now there are fewer people who often follow her, all blame Lou Weiyu, if there is no her, if she destroys her, then everything will be solved.
It has to be said that regardless of age, a woman's jealousy is far more terrible than that of the devil.
Wei Yu didn't expect her to be so breathless, seeing that the silver whip was unavoidable, she heard the people in the valley say, Xiang Wuhua loves her daughter as her life, this silver whip has added a rare water training stone in the world, not only the toughness is excellent, but the power is also greatly improved, this whip fell down She is afraid that she will be disfigured even if she does not die, there is no way to avoid it, at this moment a sky blue figure suddenly appeared, the expected pain did not fall, but fell into a warm embrace, Wei Yu opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Gu Zhen. He snatched the silver whip from Xiang Stained with one hand, and looked at Xiang Wuhua who arrived later with unconcealed anger in his eyes, his hand moved slightly, only listening to the sound of "bang", and the silver whip that was majestic just now had turned into powder......
The others watched, didn't dare to make a sound, and knelt down to Wuhua, "The subordinate goddaughter has no way, ask the valley master to punish him!" "I don't see what the look is.
At this time, no matter how arrogant Xiang Zhanyi was, he knew that he had caused a big disaster, and when he saw that his beloved weapon was gone, he cried "wow".
"Chi Mo!" Gu Zhenli also ignored the crying Xiang Zhanyi, and called a person standing next to him in a cold voice, "The people in the valley dare to hurt the young master, where should they be?" ”
"This ......" Chi Mo is the steward of Luoyang, Tokyo, and is in charge of punishment in the water and wind, "Return to the valley master, the light ones will abolish the martial arts and expel them from the valley, and the heavy ones will die." "The greater the power, the greater the ambition, Xiang Wuhua has been a little too much in the past few years, Chi Mo sighed lightly in his heart.
When Xiang Zhanyi heard this, he cried even more, "Daddy, daddy, help me!" As he spoke, he ran towards the kneeling Xiang Wuhua.
The few people standing on the side shook their heads when they saw this, everything in the valley is respected by the valley master and the young master, and it was originally right to favor the daughter of Wuhua, but it would be a big mistake to spoil the valley master and not even take it seriously.
"Back to the valley master, Yi'er is young and ignorant, it's all the fault of his subordinates, and his subordinates are busy with things in the valley and neglect her, please open up the valley lord and spare her this time. Yi'er didn't kneel down quickly to apologize to the girl Lou! He said this, but he had two meanings, one was to deliberately remind everyone that Gu Zhen had never clearly said that Lou Weiyu was the young master of the water and breeze, so Xiang Zhanyi was just bullying a child this time; Second, Jiangnan Road is the most important one, can't he work hard for Wuhua for so many years to be worth a little girl who just came?
Gu Zhen looked at him coldly, "Xiang Zhanyi hurt the same door, punish the face of the wall and think about it for a hundred days, since you are too busy, let's rest for a while, the steward of Jiangnan Province is temporarily served by Chi Mo." From today on, Lou Weiyu is my young master who is clear and clear, and the only young master, if today's things happen again, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
"Subordinates obey orders, see the young master!"
"Excuse me." Weiyu was held by Gu Zhen and looked at all this coldly, she didn't plead aloud, and she didn't want to plead, this eldest lady really should be taught some lessons, but Xiang Wuhua's matter was something she didn't expect, but the master should have his own intentions in doing this, so she didn't think much about it.
