Chapter 822 Troubled Water
The more Bai Suocheng spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes lit up, as if the scene at that time appeared in front of him again: "He Shigu was not to be outdone, and he also used another set of swordsmanship, which was fierce and dangerous, and there were a lot of knives, sticks, and spear moves mixed in the middle, which were extremely exquisite, but they were integrated into the sword style, which was obviously not something that a twenty-year-old boy could learn, it must be all ancestral or family martial arts in order to learn such a profound skill." ”
Li Cangxing wanted to interject, but when he saw Bai Suocheng talking so excitedly, he also stopped his mouth and listened to him quietly: "All the senior brothers and elders of the division present at that time were all dumbfounded, even my master was gloomy and stood aside without saying a word, the two of them fought faster and faster, and the martial arts also made it varied, and each sect had its own moves, and it had been playing six or seven hundred moves like this, and the master told them to stop in a deep voice, if not, I don't know how long they will fight." ”
After Li Cangxing heard Bai Suocheng finish speaking, he sighed: "These two guys are really, in order to fight for face in front of women, they were quick and exposed all their old foundations, but I really admire the two of them, they have learned so many sects at the age of twenty, and I don't know where they usually practice." ”
Bai Suocheng smiled slightly: "At that time, the master also asked them like this, saying that they brought art into my Diancang faction like this, what is the intention, then He Shigu is also straightforward, saying that he just wants to find famous teachers all over the world and pursue the ultimate in martial arts, and Lu Dawei also said that he has been a good sword since he was a child, and he wants to enter the Diancang faction to learn Tiannan swordsmanship, as for the previous kung fu, it is also passed on by the master." I didn't dare to forget it, but I knew that the Diancang Sect was not allowed to practice other martial arts. So they are just practicing in private. ”
"At that time, Master had gone back to discuss with several uncles, and later I learned that they were discussing whether to abolish the martial arts of these two people. Driven out of the sect, the two uncles insisted on doing things according to the rules of the sect, but the master sighed that it was not easy for the two of them to learn martial arts, and they did not cause any substantial harm to the sect in the sect, so they decided to open the net and let them leave the Diancang faction. ”
Li Cangxing frowned: "Could it be that you ordered the Tiannan Sword Technique of the Cang Sect and let them learn it like this?" Aren't you afraid that they will spread this Tiannan sword technique everywhere in the future? ”
Bai Suocheng shook his head: "That's the rule passed down by the ancestor, this Tiannan Sword Technique is obtained by those who are capable, it doesn't mean that it can only be limited to those in our Diancang Sect." Just like me, I have also done my best to pass on the true inheritance of Tiannan swordsmanship, but later I also left the sect, and our Diancang faction relied on this method to absorb a large number of people with art and martial arts, and because of this, they were mixed, good and bad, and later the Demon Sect used this method to infiltrate some spies in. It caused our Diancang faction to be destroyed, thinking that this lesson was too painful, maybe if Lu Dawei and He Shigu were not allowed to leave like this, there would not have been such a result. ”
Li Cangxing sighed: "Who could have expected these things!" White seniors. Didn't there be any news from the two of them after that? Why did that Senior Sister Ji leave the sect again? ”
Bai Suocheng hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Senior Sister Ji has not thought about tea and dinner since these two left. As if she had lost her soul, it seemed that she had already had a crush on these two. So less than half a year after the two left, Senior Sister Ji also passed the inspection of the master. The teacher left the mountain. In the following years, when I went down the mountain, I also visited the whereabouts of these three juniors and sisters, but there was no news. It is said that after the disciples of the Cang Sect came out, most of them spread out on the road in the area of Guizhou in Yunnan, or escorted the dart to protect the courtyard, and became famous martial artists, but the martial arts of the three of them were the best in the sect, but there was no news, thinking that they might have gone to the Central Plains and were no longer in Tiannan. ”
Li Cangxing shook his head: "I think that Lu Dawei and He Shigu are by no means idle people, they can learn such profound martial arts at the age of twenty, and behind them, there must be a master to guide them, judging from the situation that they have learned the superior Tiannan swordsmanship and left after entering the Diancang Sect like this, even if they go to the Central Plains, they will enter the famous sect to learn these swordsmanship and martial arts, but I don't know why they have disappeared since then, and they will never hear any news again." ”
Bai Suocheng smiled slightly: "Maybe as you said, they originally used fake names, after going to the Central Plains, maybe they joined a famous faction, or even took over important positions such as heads or elders, and they no longer appeared." ”
Li Cangxing's heart suddenly moved, he suddenly thought that Lu Bing seemed to have mentioned to himself before, he also traveled the world when he was a teenager, visited famous teachers, and practiced martial arts, and that Feng Wu was born to Lu Bing and a beloved fellow sister, and later the woman died in childbirth, so Lu Bing was ashamed that he couldn't bring this woman into the Lu family, and he couldn't give his lover a name, so he would take special care of Feng Wu, plus Lu Bing's martial arts are superb, and he has the strengths of various sects, will this Lu Dawei and He Shigu be among the two, Is there one who was Lu Bing back then?
Li Cangxing's mind was full of thoughts, he thought that when he was in Jinyiwei, he had seen Lu Bing fight with the deputy sect leader of the Demon Sect, Dongfang Madness, at that time, Lu Bing's swordsmanship, there were all factions, from Wudang to Emei to Huashan, among them, there were a few exquisite swordsmanship, which made his memory fresh, but he searched all over his mind, but he didn't know which sect and which faction used it, just now and Bai Suocheng had this vicious fight, there were a few tricks he felt particularly familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen it, thinking about it like this, Only then did he suddenly realize that those swords were clearly the powerful killing moves in Tiannan's swordsmanship.
Li Cangxing's head "buzzed", almost exploded, a thing that has been incomprehensible for many years actually has an answer under such a coincidence, but I didn't expect that this trip to Tiannan, by mistake, although he did not find out the whereabouts of the master of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, but he found out about Lu Bing's learning of the art of the Cang Sect, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.
Li Cangxing thought about it, Bai Suocheng saw that he no longer spoke, frowned, and said, "Li Daxia, have you thought of something important?" Have you seen Lu Dawei and He Shigu? ”
Li Cangxing's train of thought was pulled back by Bai Suocheng, he smiled and shook his head: "No." They are all about 20 years older than me, and they are my teachers. In the Central Plains, I haven't seen anyone who can use Tiannan swordsmanship, otherwise I wouldn't have fought with Senior Bai for so long today. I just want to see this exquisite swordsmanship. ”
Bai Suocheng nodded and said, "Then what now?" Do I want to go back to the prince now? Or will you and I continue to split up to find that mysterious old man in the mountains? This time, the task given to me by the prince is to follow you and try to find the whereabouts of the old man in the mountain, it seems that his interest in that person is greater than that of the master of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect. ”
Li Cangxing smiled slightly, looked at Bai Suocheng, and asked, "By the way, Bai Guard, I want to ask you about your current position." You are the guard of Mu Wangfu, but your Bai family is the eyeliner of Jinyiwei who was placed in Mu Wangfu many years ago, as far as you are concerned, are you loyal to Mu Wangye, or are you loyal to Jinyiwei? ”
Bai Suocheng sighed: "To tell you the truth, the reason why I joined the Diancang faction in the name of learning the sword when I was young was because I didn't want to continue the mission of this Jinyi Wei eyeliner, when I was just sensible." I was told by my father about the mission of our family, and from generation to generation, we have to monitor our nominal master. The successive heads of our Bai family have all grown up with the young prince of King Mu's mansion since childhood. Practicing martial arts together, I have long had feelings and are like brothers. But on the other hand, I have to report this brother's information to Jinyiwei, Li Daxia. Do you know the torment and pain involved? ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "I can imagine it, because I have also been undercover for various factions for many years." It is indeed extremely contradictory in my heart, but it is really surprising that Senior Bai chose to leave home to learn art and go to Diancang to escape this fate. It's just that since you chose to run away from home and have a good life in the Diancang Sect, why did you return to the Bai family and continue to serve as this secret agent in the name of guards? ”
Bai Suocheng's eyes became dim: "Fate and fate, that is, the fate that people can't escape, after I became the Elder of the Sword in the Diancang Sect, the master also mentioned to me that I will take over as the next head, I have a younger brother at home, and I have already agreed with my father that he will take over as the head of the Bai family in the future, and I choose the life I want to live, but God does not fulfill people's wishes, my younger brother died of a strange illness and died early, and my father was also ill because of this, so there is no successor to the Bai family, so I have no successor to the Bai family, so I have to leave the Diancang faction and return to the Bai family." ”
Li Cangxing sighed: "So that's the case, the predecessors really had a rough fate." By the way, the predecessors have worked for Jinyiwei for so many years, how did they connect with Jinyiwei and pass on information? ”
Bai Sucheng's brows furrowed slightly: "Li Daxia, although you hold the gold medal of the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guard, it does not mean that I want to tell you about these joints, this involves the lives of hundreds of people in our Bai family and the Yunnan branch of the Jinyi Guard, and it is difficult to obey your fate." ”
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, the junior didn't choose to say anything for a while, and asked the seniors for something that shouldn't be asked, and asked the seniors for forgiveness." Then I'll change the question, has Senior Bai ever met Commander-in-Chief Lu Bing himself? Did he give you any direct orders? ”
Bai Suocheng shook his head: "No, although Lu Bing is very famous in the rivers and lakes, he almost never appears in Yunnan, and the order given to me is also conveyed to me by the commander of the Jinyi Guard here in Yunnan, generally speaking, in the past thirty years, I have only received two special orders, and other times, I only need to report every move of Mu Wangfu to the top according to the routine." Even if you connect with me this time, it's only the third time that Lu Bing has given me an order. ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "In this way, you haven't seen Commander Lu either." ”
Bai Suocheng's eyebrows raised slightly: "Yes, the old man's responsibilities are limited, after being the guard of Mu Wangfu, he has not taken a step out of Yunnan, because he has never been to the Central Plains, and he has never had the opportunity to meet Lu Bing, in fact, I have always heard that Lu is the commander of the martial arts, and I really want to learn from him, but after comparing with you today, I know that there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, the old man has been in Yunnan all his life, he is really a frog at the bottom of the well, I don't know how powerful the masters in the world are, and the ambition to compete with Lu Bing has disappeared." ”
Li Cangxing said with a smile: "Actually, this is quite interesting, you and Mu Wang Ye get along every day and practice together, but you have to report his daily whereabouts, what you do, and even what you eat to Lu Bing, the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei, who has never met before, it's really ironic." ”
Bai Suocheng's old face flushed slightly: "I also know that I am sorry for the prince like this, I have always felt guilty, so within the scope of my ability, I can help the prince a little more, Li Daxia, I think you who have also stayed in Jinyiwei can understand my feelings." ”
Li Cangxing nodded, and said with a straight face: "Yes, I can completely understand, in fact, I have a very good opinion on the practice of Jinyiwei who uses guò control zhì other people's ancestors to force other people's children and grandchildren to work hard for themselves, people's fate should be controlled by themselves, how can it be decided by birth casually?" It's not fair! In the future, if I have the opportunity to take power, I will definitely abolish the organization of Jinyiwei, and at the very least, I will also destroy the oath of people like your family who have served Jinyiwei for generations, and return your freedom. ”
Bai Suocheng shook his head in disbelief: "Li Daxia, this is the ancestral system, even the emperor, and it can't be modified lightly." ”
Li Cangxing waved his hand firmly: "No, there is no ancestral system, when Emperor Taizu Hongwu raised an army against the Yuan, there was no Jinyiwei organization, only after he won the world, because some civil and military generals conspired to rebel, he founded Jinyiwei to monitor the courtiers, in his later years, he also announced the dissolution of the pro-army capital governor's mansion (the predecessor of Jinyiwei) in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, which shows that even Emperor Taizu knows that this kind of spy is unpopular, and it will only make the courtiers panic and the monarch and ministers. ”
Bai Suocheng sighed: "But after Chengzu raised troops, he re-founded Jinyiwei, and it has continued to this day, when Chengzu was able to successfully avoid the eyes and ears of Emperor Jianwen, it was difficult to succeed in raising troops, because he hid the eyeliner of Emperor Jianwen, which is why he attached so much importance to Jinyiwei." Li Daxia, after all, you are a person from the rivers and lakes, and you don't know that officialdom is sinister, so it's better to say less. ”
Li Cangxing smiled, he knew that Bai Suocheng had also been an official all his life, and it was basically impossible to reach a consensus with him on this point, but if he knew Bai Suocheng's words, he was more and more sure that Lu Bing must be one of the two disciples of the Diancang Sect back then, maybe to find the truth of the whole incident, he would have to seek a breakthrough from Lu Bing in turn.
