Chapter 14: Tan Pai, Chen Men
"No matter how long you live, you will always be a junior in front of your grandfather."
Lu Changshou said it in his mouth, and it was also in his heart.
Although this Mrs. Chen looks young, he knows his true age. And they have great kindness to the Lu family, and they also have the grace of teaching him art.
Kneeling and bowing to this line, Lu Changshou was willing.
"Alright."
"Get up."
Chen Jichuan saw that Lu Changshou was respectful, smiled, and stepped forward to stretch out his hand to help.
"Master Xie."
Lu Changshou got up at this time, his face was excited, and he said respectfully: "When the master comes back, my father, uncle, and third uncle will be happy. β
Lu Changshou is extremely sincere and enthusiastic.
But Chen Jichuan still saw that when Lu Changshou mentioned his father, there was a trace of sluggishness on his face. Thinking of Fang Cai Lu Changshou practicing the 'Golden Knife for Palm Skill' in the shed, he didn't even notice his arrival, obviously there was something in his heart.
So he waved his hand and said, "No hurry." I've been in retreat for a long time, and I don't know a lot about it, so tell me about it first. β
"Yes."
Lu Changshou didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led Chen Jichuan into the house, avoiding the wind and snow, while narrating: "Two years after you left Langning City, your grandfather died..."
Thirty-five years later.
It is enough to play a troubled era and change a dynasty.
Chen Jichuan's old acquaintances in the past, such as Lu Xiong, Lu Rong, Yang Qing, and Tan Jinxuan, all passed away. Even the younger generation, such as Lu Xiong's son Lu Zijian and Lu Rong's son Lu Zikang, also aged more than ten years ago.
The years are merciless.
It's embarrassing.
β¦β¦
"Today, Emperor Yan is greedy for beauty and does not care about the government, which makes the court situation chaotic, and the Quartet is becoming more and more unstable."
"The court is turbulent, but the green forest is vibrant, and masters from all walks of life have emerged in an endless stream over the years."
"When the master was here, he and the 'scattered flower legs' Tan Jin Xuan Tan Grandmaster in the north were recognized as the strongest in the world. After the grandfather left, Grandmaster Tan was also silent for a long time, until 20 years ago, he created the 'Tan School', recruited disciples, and taught the 'Ten Roads Tan Legs' created by painstaking solitude, which shocked the martial arts, and since then the masters have emerged, and the Tan School has become the first major faction in the northern martial arts. β
Lu Changshou is obsessed with martial arts, and he knows nothing about the affairs of the court, but he is clear about martial arts: "The Tan faction is powerful, and Zhang Yang acts." A few days ago, news came from the north, saying that the Tan faction's 'Thirteen Taibao' came out together, divided into thirteen roads, and challenged the masters of all factions in the world. Now it has crossed the Ji River, and it is estimated that it will be as short as three or five months, and as long as no more than a year, and it will arrive in Lingnan. β
The rise of the Tan faction.
Dominate the Northern Martial Arts.
In contrast, the 'Southern Dynasty Chen', who was called 'Southern Chen and Northern Tan' with Tan Jinxuan, did not know where to go. Lu Changshou regarded himself as a descendant of Chen in the Southern Dynasty, known as 'Xiao Nan Chen', and in the face of the current situation, in the face of the menacing Tan faction Thirteen Taibao, it was inevitable that there would be pressure in his heart.
Worry about winning or losing.
His own reputation is still secondary, lest people say that 'Southern Chen' is not as good as 'Northern Tan', and he will fall into the prestige of 'Southern Dynasty Chen'. In addition, the Lu family is now in a mess, and he is involved, even an extremely critical person, so he simply hides in the Chen Mansion alone, and concentrates on martial arts.
Over the years.
Lu Changshou will come here whenever he is confused and unhappy. Thinking that Mrs. Chen had no distractions in his cultivation at the beginning, he also took it in.
"Tan Pai."
"Tan legs."
When Chen Jichuan heard this, he knew why Lu Changshou was uncertain.
Ultimately.
It's just a burden of fame. Among them, there is his reputation as 'Southern Dynasty Chen', and there is also the reputation of Lu Changshou himself as 'Little Nan Chen'.
Martial arts, Chen Jichuan is quite interested, and he also wants to see the style of Tan Jinxuan's 'Ten Roads Tan Legs'.
But Chen Jichuan doesn't care about the Lu family's family affairs.
Looking at Lu Changshou, Chen Jichuan said: "Fame is like a floating cloud to me. can play with the master, but you can't ask for it. I'm in the house these days, and when the thirteen Taibao arrive, you send someone to find me, just to see the demeanor of these rising generations. β
Thirty-five years ago.
Chen Jichuan fought all over Lingnan invincible. After all these years, a new generation has replaced the old, and I don't know whether the masters of this generation are stronger or weaker.
Judging from Lu Changshou, he is known as 'Xiao Nan Chen', although his strength is not as good as him, but in the entire Lingnan, he is not invincible. There are three or five people with similar strength to him. There are also people who are faintly strong on him.
In reality, practice must be done step by step.
The strength of the warriors.
Part of it is martial arts, and the strength is strong or weak. The other part is the experience of fighting with others, coping skills, and psychological quality. The former is in a hurry, but the latter can be sharpened in this Great Yan World.
Chen Jichuan wished that there were more masters in the Great Yan Martial Arts, the better, and the stronger the better.
"Masterβ"
When Lu Changshou heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Although the name of the thirteen Taibao of the Tan faction is loud, it can be said that he is only the apprentice grandson of Grandmaster Tan Jinxuan Tan. What kind of identity and what kind of seniority is the master, what kind of grandfather does it, and he can cope with it with his longevity. β
Martial arts people have the most important reputation.
It is also extremely important to rearrange seniority.
With Chen Jichuan's identity, it is really a loss of identity to fight with the characters of the apprentice and grandchildren.
"It's okay."
Chen Jichuan didn't care.
Seeing this, Lu Changshou smiled bitterly: "But even if the master is not stingy to give advice, I am afraid that the thirteen Taibao will not dare to make a mistake." β
After all, Chen Jichuan was as famous as Tan Jinxuan.
The seniority is there.
How dare the Thirteen Taibao offend?
And if the Tan faction loses this battle, people say that 'Southern Dynasty Chen' is worthy of its reputation. If he wins, some people say that 'Southern Dynasty Chen' is ninety-four years old after all, even if he has the skills to stay in the face, his blood and physical strength are not good, and it is inevitable that his strength will regress.
Left and right are Tan faction faceless.
The people of the Tan faction would not be so unwise.
"Makes sense."
Chen Jichuan also felt that this was true, thought about it, and said: "That's not as good as this, only you know my identity, so I simply don't tell outsiders, and only say that I am a descendant of Chen Jichuan, the same generation as you." In this way, it will be no problem to fight against the Thirteen Taibao. β
Since his identity cannot be revealed, it is not easy for this Chen Mansion to live.
Chen Jichuan looked at Lu Changshou again: "Is there a good place for me to stay?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Lu Changshou's face was full of bitterness, and he had the heart to persuade again, but seeing that this master was full of interest, he pressed it first and replied: "I am in Taiqingshan, in the name of the master, to set up 'Chen Gate'." The eighteen mountains and rivers of Taiqing are beautiful, and it is a good place to practice martial arts and enjoy the feelings. β
β¦β¦
Taecheongsan Mountain.
It is located at the junction of Wuyuan, Jinxing and Fengling counties of Langning Prefecture, and the mountain is divided into eighteen mountains, so it is also called 'Taiqing Eighteen Mountains', 'Taiqing Eighteen Pan', 'Taiqing Eighteen Mountains'.
Decades ago.
There are mountain bandits entrenched here, and they are broken by the imperial court. In the following decades, there were several waves of mountain bandits and water bandits roaring into groups, occupying the mountains and grass.
But all failed.
More than 10 years ago.
'Xiao Nan Chen' Lu Changshou learned a lot, came to Taiqingshan, opened a sect, and established 'Chen Gate'. Relying on the financial resources and influence of the Lu family's 'Bai Yujing', it is easy to gain a firm foothold.
Since then, it has become a major faction in Lingnan.
It's just that compared with the Tan faction in the north, it's far behind. Among the Chen Sect, there is only one person who can be compared to the Thirteen Taibao of the Tan Sect, Lu Changshou. The 'Three Heroes and Five Tigers' under him are the younger generation, with a loud name and sparse strength, just a busy generation. It can't be compared with the talented Tan faction.
Chen Jichuan came to Taiqingshan without much fanfare.
Settle only in the back hills.
The mountains and rivers here are interdependent, secluded and leisurely, and the disciples of the Chen Sect rarely come over, which is the most suitable.
Lu Changshou also asked people to arrange knife sheds, arrow targets, wooden stakes and other practice venues.
Tossed for three days in a row.
It's all right.
During this period, Lu Changshou has been accompanied, talking to Chen Jichuan, introducing Chen Men, and introducing many changes in Langning and Dayan. After the arrangement was completed, he stayed for a few days before saying goodbye to Chen Jichuan and leaving.
