Chapter 2 The Coming Tribulation
Although Murong Pingzhou was gone, the cold gaze when he left made some people in the mansion panic. Murong Bang didn't think about tea and dinner for half a month, and he frowned.
On this day and night, Murong Bang was sitting in front of a wooden table in the Warm Incense Pavilion, looking at the sky, his eyes full of uneasiness and worry. For half a month, Murong Bang's mind repeatedly echoed the words left by Murong Pingzhou, as well as the eyes that hit the soul.
He said stupidly: "The blood debt must be repaid with blood, I think he Murong Pingzhou will never give up, and he will definitely come to seek revenge again." Murong Pingzhou's martial arts have reached such a point, the people he invited, the martial arts must be very amazing, I am the head of the Murong family, if the Jinling Murong family is destroyed in my hands, I really have no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors......"
Mrs. You walked in with a wooden plate, and there was a bowl of lotus seed porridge on the plate, "Husband, drink a bowl of porridge." As he spoke, he placed the wooden plate on the wooden table.
Murong Bang took Mrs. You's jade hand and stroked it gently; "Madam, what if Murong Pingzhou brings someone to take revenge?"
Madame You smiled lightly and pretended to be relaxed; "Husband, please relax, our Murong family is powerful in Jiangnan, and ordinary Jianghu forces dare not provoke us."
Murong Bang sighed, "Murong Pingzhou wants to avenge his father, but also wants to fight the idea of the Heavenly Sword Technique, he will never give up easily!" ”
Mrs. You sighed for a moment and said: "Husband, before I married you, I heard that Jinling Murong has a world-famous divine skill, and when this martial art is completed, it can use the power of heaven and earth to carry the power of the four times. If Fujun uses this magic skill to deal with Murong Pingzhou in the future, no matter how strong he is, he will definitely be defeated! ”
Murong Bang smiled bitterly, "Madam, if you know this martial art for your husband, don't say that it is a little Murong Pingzhou, even if the abbot of Shaolin and the master of Zhengtian are here, what are you afraid of?" It's just that this martial art is no longer in my Murong family. ”
Mrs. You was very surprised, and said in surprise: "Husband, what did you say?" This magic skill is not in the Murong family? ”
Murong Bang nodded, "Yes." At that time, my father was afraid that keeping this magic skill would lead to trouble. In addition, when I married you, it attracted the resentment of the Duan family. In order to appease the anger of the Duan family, he gave the "Heavenly Sword Technique" to Senior Duan. ”
Mrs. You nodded, "So that's the case, no wonder I haven't seen my husband practice this magic skill." However, Murong Pingzhou is young, his skills are limited after all, and it is impossible to know too many masters, so the husband does not need to worry too much. ”
"But his martial arts seem to be the Canglong Sword Technique of the Shenlong Sect, if it is really the Murong family of the Shenlong Sect, I am afraid that he will not even have a chance to fight back." Murong Bang sighed.
Mrs. You was also pretending to be calm, but at this time, when she heard that the face of the Shenlong Sect also changed greatly, "The Shenlong Sect ...... Could it be the Divine Dragon Sect created by Li Lingfeng during the Three Kingdoms! That was once the Taishan Beidou of martial arts! Later, with the establishment of Shaolin and the Beggars Gang, the Shenlong faction was slightly weaker, but it is still a sect that cannot be underestimated in the martial arts! ”
Murong Bang nodded slowly, "What Madame said is extremely true. He then sighed: "Alas, if the 'Heavenly Sword Technique' is still there, how can the husband be afraid of the Divine Dragon Sect!" ”
Mrs. You said for a long time: "However, I heard that the current head of the Shenlong Sect is Li Minghe, the twenty-third grandson of Li Lingfeng, he is only sixteen years old now, although I heard that his martial arts are good, but after all, he is young, and there are several elders in the sect who disobey him, and it is impossible to use all the strength of the sect to be my enemy, maybe there is hope." ”
"Madame only knows one thing, but I don't know the other, the power of the Shenlong Sect is now in the hands of Zhao Hongyin, the helmsman of Zhuo County, and his son Zhao Kuangyin. His father and son were both the actual rulers of the Shenlong Sect and the people of the imperial court. If Murong Pingzhou invites Zhao Hongyin and Zhao Kuangyin, then we will not only have to deal with the Shenlong faction, but even offend the imperial court. ”
Mrs. You pondered: "Husband, I think it's better to let Yun'er go out and avoid for a few years, even if they don't let us go, if the Murong family is not dead, it can be regarded as the right ancestor of the Murong family......"
Murong Bang couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw his wife's pear blossoms bringing rain, and took Mrs. You into his arms, "Madam, I'm just talking nonsense, Murong Pingzhou's swordsmanship is not necessarily the Canglong swordsmanship of the Shenlong Sect, it also seems to be a ......" Murong Bang thought for a while, "It seems to be the swordsmanship of the Long Sword Sect, or ...... The ...... of the Songtao faction"
Mrs. You cried even more when she heard Murong Bang's words, she was not afraid of death, but she didn't want her husband and son to suffer accidents. She has been familiar with the secrets of various sects since she was a child, and of course she knows that the swordsmanship of this Shenlong Sect is completely different from those that are not in the stream, such as the sun is compared to a candle, where can it be compared. She knew that her husband's words were to comfort herself, but it proved that Murong Pingzhou's swordsmanship must be the Divine Dragon Sect.
"Madam, why don't you take Yun'er back to Youjia, your nephew Youfanyi has a certain name in the rivers and lakes now." Murong Bang said.
"Do you say Fan Yi's nephew, although he is strong in martial arts, he is not yet twenty years old after all, and he is still a child, how can he stop the elders of the Divine Dragon Sect. Moreover, I have been expelled from the secluded family in order to marry you, and now that I go back, how can the clan tolerate us? Besides, you and I have a deep relationship between husband and wife, if the husband is gone, I will never live in the world as a wife! ”
Mrs. Murong Bang Zhiyou has always been soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and she is not chaotic in the face of danger. Since Mrs. You said that she wanted to stay by her side, she had already made up her mind, and no one could change it. He couldn't help but sigh and hugged Madame You tighter.
At this time, Murong Yanyun knocked on the door of the Nuan Xiang Pavilion, "Father, mother, the child wants to ask if there is a thirteenth change in the 'Purple Qi from the East' in the Shangqing Sword Technique of the Zhengyi School." ”
When Mrs. You heard that it was her son Murong Yanyun coming, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, "Yun'er is here, come in." ”
Murong Yanyun heard her mother's answer, pushed open the door, and walked in.
"Father and mother, you can see this trick is good." Saying that, Murong Yanyun used his fingers as a sword and made a comparison. Murong Yanyun's style is excellent, even exceeding the original first twelve changes, but Murong Bang and Mrs. You have the heart to see it.
After seeing his son demonstrate the thirteenth change he created, Murong Bang said, "Yun'er, the trick you created is very good, but there is another thing that my father wants to talk to you about. Murong Bang's expression was so serious that it made Murong Yanyun a little scared. Murong Yanyun asked cautiously, "Father, what's wrong?" ”
"Ever since you killed Murong Guo by mistake, my father has always felt uneasy. The martial arts used by Murong Pingzhou when he fought with his father that day were most likely the Canglong swordsmanship of the Shenlong Sect. ”
Although Murong Yanyun has not known as much about the sects, masters, and martial arts on the rivers and lakes over the years, he also knows a lot about them, and of course he knows the prestige of the Shenlong Sect in the rivers and lakes.
"Father, this is trying to let me go out and hide for a while!" Murong Yanyun didn't wait for Murong Bang to finish speaking, and he had already guessed what his father meant.
"Father, since I was a child, you have taught me that men should understand what responsibility is and what responsibility is. If I leave, then Murong Pingzhou will bring people to seek revenge, and if he can't see me, won't he have to affect the second elder and his family, if that's the case, my sin will be great. Murong Yanyun said righteously, "Father, you also taught me 'What is the cause of righteousness, what is the blessing and the curse.'" Because of love, life and death can be light', I will never leave, the big deal is that I will pay for Murong Guo's life. ”
Mrs. You said: "Yun'er, don't talk nonsense, if you have three long and two short, how do you want me and your father to live." Besides, even if you pay for your life, will Murong Pingzhou let us go? ”
Murong Yanyun was speechless for a while, not knowing how to refute.
"Yun'er, listen to me and your mother, go quickly, and come back in a few years when the situation calms down." Murong Bang ordered without saying anything.
"Okay......" Murong Yanyun was helpless, he knew that staying in the mansion would only make his parents sleep, and it would not help to reverse the overall situation, and he could not change anything at all.
"Yun'er, Yining may be your safe place." Murong Bang said.
"Husband, do you mean to let Yun'er go to Senior Duan?" Mrs. You asked in disbelief and shyly, "Husband, you and I have Yun'er, why are you still mentioning this matter." ”
"Madam, I think he is a righteous person, and he will remember the old love and take Yun'er in. And it has been decades since he got the "Heavenly Sword Technique", maybe he has already understood the mystery, and his martial arts have reached the peak, only he can keep Yun'er. Murong Bang said slowly.
Murong Yanyun was a little stunned when he heard this, "I only know that his martial arts are rarely matched by people in the world, and the Remnant Yang Finger of the Extreme Strength and Extreme Yang is a very powerful martial art, and it can even be on a par with the Shaolin Mighty King Kong Finger." But what does he have to do with us, and why does he protect me? ”
Murong Bang was about to explain, but was stopped by Mrs. You, "Husband, Yun'er will know about this sooner or later, so there is no need to rush for a while." Murong Bang knew that Mrs. You didn't want to mention this, so he didn't say anything more, but said, "Yun'er, you go back to Chenxing Courtyard today first, and set off early tomorrow morning." ”
Murong Yanyun returned to the room, lay on the bed, tossing and turning, thinking that she would say goodbye to her parents tomorrow, and couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes......
In the early morning of the next day, Murong Bang instructed his subordinates to prepare some application items and silver taels for Murong Yanyun, put on the carriage outside the door, and asked his disciple Mu Liao to bring five guests to accompany Murong Yanyun.
At the gate of Yanhui's courtyard, Murong Bang and Mrs. You led everyone in the mansion to bid farewell for Murong Yanyun and others.
Mrs. You said earnestly: "Yun'er, it's not like being at home outside, you are a young master at home, and you are just an ordinary Jianghu person outside, you have to learn to take care of yourself." ”
"Yun'er, the rivers and lakes are sinister, you must be careful every step you take, every wrong word will bring you death, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. After you find Senior Duan, ask him to give you the Heavenly Sword Technique. It's best if you can understand it, or you have to destroy it, you know? He immediately handed a sword to Murong Yanyun. Murong Bang knew in his heart that today's farewell might be the farewell between the husband and wife and Murong Yanyun.
Murong Yanyun nodded, "The child understands......"
Madam You took out a white handkerchief embroidered with butterflies from her arms and handed it to Murong Yanyun, "Yun'er, if you give this handkerchief to Duan Baolong, he will definitely be able to keep you safe." Murong Yanyun hurriedly put the handkerchief away.
The three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly for a while, and Murong Yanyun said, "Father, mother, I hope to be reunited with you as soon as possible, you have to take care......" Everyone present was unmoved, and they all shed tears.
"Uncle Liao, it's time for us to go." Murong Yanyun said in a choked voice. Mu Liao and the others wiped away their tears, sat in front of the car and prepared to catch the car, while the others stood behind the car and waited for Murong Yanyun to get into the car.
Murong Yanyun walked down the steps, very reluctant in his heart, in the past fifteen years, he always wanted to go out alone, but it was really time to go, but he was so sad in his heart. He looked back for the last time, looked at his parents, looked at the family members who had lived with him in the past fifteen years, and looked at the wooden plaque that had been hung for a hundred years.
With the sound of Muglio's whip, the horses neighed, the wheels rolled, and went straight to the southwest. The dust rolled up by the carriage seemed to be Murong Yanyun's final farewell to Yan Hui's courtyard. When he returned years later, it was a long time gone......
The carriage had traveled southwest for half a month, and had already traveled most of the distance. Along the way, they had been paying attention to and inquiring about the news at home, and there was no bad news, and the hearts of Murong Yanyun and the others slowly let go.
On this day, as the sun was setting, Mu Liao drove the carriage to an inn.
Led by Murong Yanyun, several people walked into the inn, and Mu Liao and the boss asked for three upper rooms. A few people went upstairs, and after settling down for a while, they went downstairs again, and sat down at a large table.
A few people were eating happily when two people walked in outside the door. A yellow-faced middle-aged man, carrying a tiger-headed golden knife, is very majestic, and the other is a young man with a sword, with a handsome face, a good temperament, and a luxurious black dress. These two people are both dusty servants, and it can be seen at a glance that they are people who have been involved in the rivers and lakes for a long time.
The yellow-faced man asked for food and drink, and sat at a table next to Murong Yanyun with the white-faced boy. The two sat down and drank three bowls of wine before they began to speak. What the two of them said was all secret and strange things in the rivers and lakes, and Murong Yanyun couldn't help but listen curiously.
"Brother Han, do you know? The Red Dragon Sword of Hidden Edge Villa was stolen back by the Divine Dragon Sect. The white-faced young man said to the yellow-faced man.
Murong Yanyun was taken aback, of course he knew Yinfeng Mountain Villa. Known as the hidden sword of the world, each owner is a role in swordsmanship that can stand alone in the world, since the Eastern Han Dynasty has a history of thousands of years, and no sword in the millennium Zhongshan Village is lost. Now the Red Dragon Sword, one of the three swords of Yinfeng Villa and Zhenzhuang, which once made Li Lingfeng famous all over the world, was actually stolen back by the Shenlong Sect, which is really unbelievable.
The yellow-faced man was not surprised when he heard this, "Brother You, what is this, I saw a shocking scene with my own eyes fourteen days ago, Zhao Kuangyin, the son of Zhao Hongyin, the helmsman of Zhuo County of the Shenlong Sect, and Murong Pingzhou and others personally killed your aunt who was expelled from the house and her husband Murong Bang, and even the Yan Hui Courtyard of the Murong family was also burned. It's a pity, Jinling Murong, who is known as the first family in Jiangnan, is over like this......"
"You...... What do you say" Murong Yanyun heard that his parents were dead, and Yan Hui's courtyard was burned, and his eyes were dark. He didn't care about any more politeness, stood up, and walked towards the big man. Mu Liao and the others also thought that this would be the case, but when they really heard the news, they were also stunned.
Murong Yanyun walked quickly to the big man's side, grabbed him and shouted, "You...... You say it again, you say it again, who died...... Who died! Murong Yanyun shook the big man's body like crazy.
"I said that Murong Bang's family is dead, what's wrong? I've seen with my own eyes, are you sick? Dahan said angrily.
"Impossible...... It can't be, my father won't die, he won't die...... You liar. Murong Yanyun actually cried in this inn.
The cry attracted dozens of eyes in the inn, some sad, some panicked. And there are two glances in it, no panic, no sadness, flashing away.
"You said that Murong Bang is your father, then you are Brother Yanyun." The white-faced boy asked.
"I am Murong Yanyun, I am Murong Yanyun!" Murong Yanyun said in a choked voice.
"I've heard of Brother Yanyun a long time ago, if you don't care about your aunt, just call me a cousin." The white-faced boy said kindly.
The big man also bowed his hand, "Brother Fool is Han Yonglin, the old friend of Brother Fan, I offended a lot just now, please forgive me." ”
Murong Yanyun listened to the big man's report, and returned the salute, "It turned out to be the Tiger Sword Han senior of the Ten Thousand Dao Gate, and the junior was rude." ”
Han Yonglin couldn't help but feel proud when he saw that Murong Yanyun knew his name even though he was young. "It is worthy of being a member of the Murong family." Han Yonglin unintentionally praised it, and regretted it as soon as he said it.
"Senior Han, tell me who killed my parents, I will avenge this revenge!" Murong Yanyun was stunned, and every time he said a word, he gritted his teeth fiercely, his teeth collided and gurgled, and his appearance was very terrifying, as if he wanted to eat the flesh of the enemy and drink the blood of the enemy.
"It's Zhao Kuangyin, it's he who beat your parents to death with a coiling dragon stick, and it's Yanhui Courtyard who set fire to Murong Pingzhou." Han Yonglin said in a voice that could calm Murong Yanyun as much as possible.
Murong Yanyun shouted: "Zhao Kuangyin, Murong Pingzhou, I will definitely break you into ten thousand pieces!" Avenging his parents......" His eyes turned black again, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body fell.
