Ride the wind
Time flies like a white horse, and it has been three months since Zhengfeng entered the crane forest in a blink of an eye. The vast mountains, the brave waterfalls, and the afterglow of the setting sun shine among the trees, where a twelve-year-old boy practiced martial arts and practiced literature.
After each practice, Zhengfeng was always soaking wet, and the huge pressure of the waterfall made the practice doubly difficult, but at the same time it helped to cultivate internal strength. Zhengfeng took off his clothes, wrung them out, and walked back with his book. Soon, I came to the bamboo hut.
The master has been waiting here for a long time. Seeing that Zhengfeng was back, the master called Zhengfeng over. Master: "Feng'er, from tomorrow onwards, I will teach you and me Helin's infinite swordsmanship, which is also the most quintessential kung fu in this sect." The Extreme Wind Leg and Extreme Phantom Fist in Helin Kung Fu are just the most basic martial arts, and the meaning of their existence is to pave the way for learning Wuji swordsmanship. Wuji swordsmanship pays attention to fast, and the world's martial arts are also fast and unbreakable. The speed of the sword is determined by the speed of the shot and the kick. After these months of hard practice, the speed of your hands and feet is already quite good, so Master Wei thinks it's time to teach you Wuji Swordsmanship. Zhengfeng: "Master, do I still have to practice the Extreme Wind Leg and the Extreme Illusion Fist from tomorrow?" Crane Lin Daoren: "No need, from tomorrow onwards, you will specialize in Wuji swordsmanship." Zhengfeng: "Yes, master." ”
The two walked out of the courtyard and came to a wood. The Crane Forest Daoist gave one of the two swords in his hand to Zhengfeng. Helin Daoren: "You stand on the right side of the teacher and look at the teacher, remember to carefully record every action." Zhengfeng: "Yes, master." In this way, Zhengfeng watched his master's every move intently, and then practiced by himself. In the next few days, although Zhengfeng encountered some difficulties, under his own pondering and the guidance of his master, Zhengfeng overcame the difficulties one by one.
Before you know it, another few months have passed.
The picture shifts to the imperial capital. In the Iron Mansion, a young man is trying to practice swordsmanship. He is Tie Zhonglin, who is sixteen years old this year. In the past ten years, under the careful care of his father, he has developed very well. Now he seems to be a personable son, but Zhonglin's personality follows Tiexiao, and there is no lack of fierceness. One sword and one style, about half an hour later, Zhonglin was already sweating profusely at this time, and then Zhonglin's mother came over.
Mei Yilan: "Zhong'er, come and rest." Zhonglin pointed his sword down and walked towards his mother. In recent years, Mei Yilan also gave birth to a daughter for Tie Xiao, named Yinghe. Ji Fang also gave birth to a daughter for Tie Xiao, named Yingyue. Fortunately, Mei Yilan and Ji Fang got along very well, and the children also had a good time. When Zhonglin saw Ji Fang, he would naturally call her "Erniang". Because of Zhonglin's filial piety, Ji Fang also likes her very much. All in all, the Tiefu family is happy. Mei Yilan wiped her sweat for Zhonglin, her face full of relief.
At this time, a little girl of seventeen or eight years old ran over. Yinghe: "Mother, big brother." Trotting all the way, Yinghe was already beading sweat on her forehead, and Mei Yilan hurriedly pulled her to her side and wiped her sweat. Yinghe: "The eldest brother, the second brother and the third sister are kicking shuttlecocks in the backyard, and they asked you to come over to play." Zhonglin: "Well, okay, let's go over together!" After speaking, Zhonglin turned to Mei Yilan, "Mother, my sister and I went over to play. Mei Yilan: "Okay, be careful. The siblings nodded.
In the backyard of the Tie family, the four siblings had a great time.
The scene shifts to the Crane Forest. In a mountain and forest, Zhengfeng is practicing swordsmanship, this way swordsmanship is exquisite, and the strength of the sword is very exquisite. Suddenly, a person stabbed at him with a sword, and Zhengfeng reacted quickly and turned around to block it with a sword. The two entered a fierce battle. Both of them use versus battles. , the sword-wielding space moves rapidly, killing the opponent with lightning speed. If you don't have a high level of cultivation in swordsmanship, you will definitely die.
But the master is the master after all, and Zhengfeng has only been practicing this sword technique for a few months, how can he be able to defeat his master? In about ten minutes, Zhengfeng was shot down by the master's sword, and the Crane Forest Daoist pointed his sword at Zhengfeng's throat. Zhengfeng was already breaking out in a cold sweat. In an instant, the Crane Forest Daoist put away his sword.
Helin Daoren: "Feng'er, in the past few months of practice, you have made great progress, and you are happy in your eyes as a teacher." But Feng'er, what the master wants to warn you is that you must remember not to rush forward when you practice the sword, otherwise, you will go crazy at the least, and lose your martial arts at the worst. As the old saying goes, you sharpen a sword in ten years, although you have a complete understanding of the sword style, you still need to keep practicing. Over the years, it has been successful. Zhengfeng listened carefully and nodded frequently.
One evening, Zhengfeng followed Master back to the small courtyard. Helin Daoren motioned for Zhengfeng to sit down, and the two sat down and talked. Helin Daoren: "Feng'er, our food is no longer enough, tomorrow you go down the mountain to buy a hundred catties of food and bring it up the mountain." Zhengfeng: "The apprentice knows, master." Helin Daoren: "Remember, don't delay much at the bottom of the mountain, tomorrow you will be waiting for you at the mountain pass as a teacher." Zhengfeng nodded: "Yes, master." ”
On the second day, the people of Helin Dao sent Zhengfeng down the mountain early to purchase grain. The people of Helin Dao worked very fast, and after a while, they sent Zhengfeng to the mountain pass where they came, and went up the mountain after explaining two sentences. Perhaps for Zhengfeng, returning to the bamboo hut alone is still a very distant thing. Zhengfeng looked in the direction where the master was walking, and then set off.
And the guards of the Xiangwang Mansion, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time, were very happy when they saw Zhengfeng descending the mountain. The four secretly followed and protected, and sent two people back to report the news. Following in Zhengfeng's footsteps, Zhengfeng came to a small city not far away, Baiyue City. Entering the city, it is still morning, and the city is bustling.
The imperial capital of Yongyang, inside the imperial palace. Emperor He was discussing state affairs with the courtiers. Prime Minister Jing Yi: "Your Majesty, today the Dingchuan Division sent intelligence, saying that the Chu State is gathering troops and horses to attack the Liang State, what is the attitude of my Qi State on this matter?" Emperor He nodded and asked, "What do you think?" The ministers expounded their thoughts, and the prince spoke. The crown prince Zhang Deyao said: "The Liang State is a small country in the north, and its territory spans both sides of the Li River. Therefore, Erchen thinks that our Qi State can also send troops to carve up the Liang State and occupy the territory of the Liang State east of the Li River, so as to ensure the absolute security of our Quyan City. Our Qi State has lost Jingxiang, and we must not allow Chu to annex Liang State. Hearing this, King Xiang couldn't sit still, and immediately made a statement to Emperor He. Zhang Deyuan, the king of Xiang, said: "Father, you must not do this!" Emperor He: "Oh, Yuan'er, if you have something to say, just say it." King Xiang: "My Qi country has always been a good neighbor and a friendly country for thousands of years. More than 40 years ago, our Qi State was attacked by the Chu State, and when the country was divided, the Liang State, the Tayuan State, the Song State, and some other neighboring countries did not attack our Qi State, which is the best reward for our Qi State of good neighborliness and friends. Therefore, Erchen resolutely opposed sending troops to carve up the Liang State. ”
At this time, some ministers were again discussing whose side to stand on. Suddenly, the general Tie Xiao spoke, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that King Xiang is reasonable, and the minister suggests that our Qi State immediately send troops to attack Xiangyang City to relieve the pressure on Liang State." ”
"Report, Liang Guoguo's envoy asks to see you!" A soldier quickly ran into the palace to report to the emperor: "Pass! After a while, the envoy of Liang Guoguo walked into the palace, and after saluting Emperor He, the envoy: "Your Majesty, my Liang State is being violently attacked by Chu State, and according to the strength of Liang State, it will soon fall, Your Majesty." Our king sent his ministers to come, hoping that the Qi State would immediately send troops to save our Liang State. Wechen pleaded with His Majesty. Liang Guoguo immediately knelt on his knees. Emperor He hurriedly asked the messenger to get up and speak. He Emperor thought about it slightly, that is, he ordered Tie Xiao to lead 50,000 troops to reinforce Liang State, and ordered King Xiang to lead 100,000 troops to attack Jingxiang. After the dispersal, the prince left angrily.
When night fell, in the palace of King Xiang, in the dormitory of King Xiang. At this time, Princess Xiang was packing up for King Xiang, and King Xiang also saw her nervousness and worry, and hurriedly comforted: "Xue'er, don't worry too much about me, I am just relieving the pressure on General Tie's side in this battle, and when the Chu army transfers troops back to Jingxiang, our army will retreat immediately, and it will not be fought for a long time." Princess Xiang: "Why don't I understand what you said?" However, now that you are going out to fight again, and Feng'er has no news, how can I rest assured!"
While talking, one person came to report that the people who followed the eldest son Zhengfeng had returned, and King Xiang and his wife hurriedly went to see them, and two of the six people came back. King Xiang: "How is it, is there any news of Feng'er?" One of them: "Lord Yu, I will secretly protect the eldest prince according to your instructions, but when we followed to a mountain pass, the Taoist chief told us not to follow, and disappeared in a blink of an eye." At first, we tried to look for it in the mountains, but we couldn't find it, so we had to give up and wait at the mountain pass. As soon as we got the news, we hurried back to report it. The other four followed Childe. Princess Xiang: "How is that Feng'er doing recently?" Another said: "Childe seems to have improved a lot in martial arts cultivation, but between the mountains and fields, there is no good food and drink, and Childe has indeed lost a lot of weight." At this time, Princess Xiang's face was full of distress. King Xiang asked the two of them to go back and continue to star, and report any situation at any time.
In the prince's mansion, a person next to the prince said: "Your Highness, now that Tie Xiao and King Xiang are getting closer and closer, shouldn't we make some moves." Prince Zhang Deyao: "More than ten years ago, when King Xiang was assassinated, his father issued a strict order, if the kings dare to fight openly and secretly, he will definitely punish him severely." Don't worry, Deyuan can get closer to Tie Xiao, then we will pull the military department to our side, and we can also confront him. As long as I don't make any mistakes, my father has no reason to abolish me. "Yes, Your Highness is wise."
The scene shifts to Hundred Moon City. In Baiyue City in front of him, there seemed to be something waiting for Zhang Zhengfeng.
