Geng Canghuai saw that the camel kept neighing at the water, and he wondered in his heart, so he jumped off the sandbar and walked to the camel's side. The camel stared at him for a moment, as if he recognized him. Geng Canghuai also felt that this animal was quite spiritual. Suddenly the camel bit him by the hem of his coat, dragged him forward, then let go and went into the water and swam forward.

Geng Canghuai was anxious to know Luo Han's whereabouts, so he didn't care about getting wet, so he also went into the water. He took the camel by the tail with one hand and followed it, and after a few steps, the camel swam to the mountain wall. ——The water flow under the mountain wall is urgent, and it is difficult for ordinary people to cross, but how can it be difficult to live with the camel and Geng Canghuai? It was too dark, and when he arrived at the bottom of the mountain wall, Geng Canghuai found that there was a stone crack between the mountain wall, which was not big, and only allowed one person to pass through, and a stream was poured into the Yangtze River from here. Geng Canghuai secretly thought: It can't be that Luo Han and Zao Wou-Ki fought all the way and was introduced here by Zao Wou-ki. At this time, the camel kept neighing, as if signaling Geng Canghuai to enter. Geng Canghuai realized at a glance that the stone crack was too small, and the camel's front chest was too wide to squeeze in, no wonder it was anxious on the sandbank. Geng Canghuai took a breath, although he knew that it was only rugged and dangerous inside, but he had always been anxious about the difficulties, patted the camel's neck, and still got into it.

The water in the stone crevice is also quite deep, and it is extremely cold, although it has just entered November, it has the smell of cold to the bone. Geng Canghuai traced all the way, and there was moss on the stone walls on both sides, and he didn't leave his hands behind. Swimming straight for a mile, there were suddenly branches and leaves in front of him, although in the dark night, there were dark shadows, Geng Canghuai had already guessed that he was going to see the sky. Sure enough, Geng Canghuai pushed aside the bush and saw that this stone gap had been exhausted, and the field of vision in front of him was wide, and it was actually a valley. Geng Canghuai was stunned for a moment, and he already realized that Zhao Wuji was only afraid that he was deliberately luring Luo Han here. As soon as the water came out, Geng Canghuai sensed that there were people in the valley. He immediately held his breath and slid forward with the sound of the water. In the deep night, I saw that the big stones were scattered in the valley, and the water stream was divided into several ways and passed through the big stones, and the light shone slightly under the faint moonlight, like a few silver bands that flashed in the dark night.

The water hits the stone, and its sound is clear. Geng Canghuai borrowed a big stone to cover his figure, and then looked into the valley. But I saw that this valley was quite strange, wide on the inside and narrow on the outside, in the shape of a pear, and it seemed to be a dead valley. A big stone in the valley is next to a big stone, the big square is round and the diameter is zhang, the small one is at least more than 1,000 catties in weight, all scattered in this valley, unruly, as if the immortals played a game of chess here before the flood, when the game is broken, the chess pieces are scattered, the immortals have been slim, only a piece of big stone is left to shock the descendants.

Then, Geng Canghuai noticed that these boulders were faintly foggy at the moment, as if there was an order. If you look closely, it looks like a formation! Then he saw a dark figure sitting on a large rock on the periphery. Nothing else could be seen clearly, but the man was dressed shortly, with a small bun on his head, which was quite scattered, and his posture sitting on the boulder was not relaxed, but quite nervous. He didn't seem to open his eyes in the dark night, because Geng Canghuai didn't see the reflection of a pair of pupils on his face, but his ears were constantly moving, as if he had practiced the skill of "Tian Er Tong" - in such a dark night, there was no need to open his eyes. Then Geng Canghuai noticed that the ten fingers of his hands seemed to be shaking constantly. Geng Canghuai looked carefully with all his eyes, but saw that his hands were not shaking, but calculating. Geng Canghuai's ears were sharp, and he had heard him muttering from afar: "Yang begins in Hai, Yin begins in Si, the winter solstice is in Kan, and the spring equinox is shaking; The summer solstice is in Li, the autumn equinox is in the exchange, the four positive hexagrams, the hexagram has six hexagrams, the master is one qi, the remaining sixty hexagrams, the lord is six days and seven minutes, the seventh of the eighty days, the year and the twelfth month, the seal is six to the earth, and the five days are waiting......"

I saw that there were words in his mouth, and Geng Canghuai didn't know what he was reading. Suddenly, the man raised his head, looked up at the sky, and cried out, "It's time," and the man leaped up and hid himself in the great stone henge, and first found a stone more than half a man high at the east head, and pushed it two feet to the east. Then, he flipped and turned, his body moved, and dozens of small stones were flipped in a row. He also seemed to be in a hurry, for fear of slowing down for a moment. Geng Canghuai already understood that this was a stone formation, and some of the words he just read seemed to be from "Zhou Yi". Although Geng Canghuai skimmed two books, "Yi" was difficult and profound, and he was afraid of it, so he never wanted to study it. At this time, seeing this big stone henge and that person's deeds, it seems that this stone henge is clearly arranged to do the heavenly phenomena, to get the right place, and that person's scheming--sitting on the big stone can be formed, which is complicated and amazing, but I am afraid that the power is not small. Geng Canghuai secretly warned in his heart: Don't be trapped in this stone formation. He had never walked the rivers and lakes, but he had never seen such a large stone formation, and he felt even more confused in the study of the Five Elements Mathematics. I saw that there were some big stones in that array, I was afraid that there would not be tens of thousands of catties, and I saw that the man was so tired and out of breath that he carried those small stones, and he thought that the big stones would not be made by him, they must have been born like this. But some of the big stones are placed strangely, unbelievable, but I am afraid that it is not natural, it must be artificial, it seems that there must be a strange person of the previous generation to set up a formation here. I don't know how wise and virtuous it is to lay out such a stone henge with ever-changing disasters and unique weather.

Geng Canghuai suddenly patted his head, remembering that Shi Ran seemed to have mentioned the word "Breaking Array Map", could it be that this is the legendary Dashipo? He remembered that he had heard a slogan from his master since he was a primary artist, called: "How many heroes are trapped in the big stone slope on the big stone slope; The big stone sound on the big stone slope, but see the grass and trees in the middle of spring; There is a rockflow on the big stone slope, and a generation of talented people is not free; The words on the big stone slope are like bells, and the twenty-nine masters pass away with the wind...... "- is this the legendary ruin?"

——According to legend, at the beginning of this dynasty, during the reign of Taizong, the world was decided, but there was an immortal hero in the martial arts, his name was Guiyouzong. Words must be obtained, less with long-term wisdom, long opportunities, cultivation for hard work, coincidences, and become a top master. Later, he met Emperor Taizong by chance, and he made a promise at first sight, and the two had a very personal relationship since then. Although one is in the temple, one is in the grass, one is expensive and one is easy, but it is not easy to see the identity.

One day, Gui Youzong saw that Emperor Taizong had a worried face and couldn't help but ask the reason. Emperor Taizong replied: "Although the world is determined at this time, there are many people in the court and those who support soldiers, and there is no shortage of heroes in the grassland. I am quite knowledgeable about martial arts, although I am not as good as the virtuous brothers, but I also feel that the world is big, and the heroes are doubled, and this is even more powerful. The so-called soldier is a murder weapon, how can this generation be willing to die in ambush? He will be the beginning of the troubles of the world. What's more, although the world is settled at this time, the people's hearts are not at peace, and the Central Plains is tired, how can they stop this chaos? That's why I worry day and night. ”

Gui Youzong was a great hero, and laughed at the time: "Your Majesty, I see that you are too worried. Above the court, with you in charge, who dares to repeat? As for the rivers and lakes, there are still me, and I don't believe that they can turn over the sky. ”

Taizong replied: "Alas, with you and me, it's naturally okay to say, but what about the children and grandchildren? After my Zhao family, they all grew up in Chengping, how can they suppress it then? As for the rivers and lakes, you can't live a long life, not to mention that you refuse to accept apprentices. Even if you accept apprentices, you don't know if the apprentices are good or not? After a hundred years, what will the world do? If there is chaos, the common people will be miserable again. ”

Gui Youzong was moved when he heard this. It is said that the senior then made a vow, that is, if the soldier is a murder weapon, he will destroy all the soldiers in the world! He did what he said, made an appointment with Taizong, and took care of it. Later, Taizong established the government military system, cut off the military power of the world, turned the war upside down, and covered it with tiger skin; Put Manan Mountain, no longer lose accumulation. And that predecessor also spent three years of effort, in a secret valley on the bank of the Yangtze River, found a site of Dashipo, according to the ruins of the flood famine, exhausted his efforts, and formed a formation, and then Cambodia about the world's famous martial arts masters, as well as strange people in the grassland, a total of twenty-nine, trapped in this big stone henge. Therefore, according to legend, none of these 29 people can get rid of it, so the martial arts of this dynasty, although inherited from the Han and Tang Dynasties, are far inferior to the past. Although there may be one or two masters pouring out, it is also brilliant for a while, and it is difficult to become a grand spectacle.

——Thinking of this, Geng Canghuai sighed in his heart, is this Dashipo? Otherwise, with Zao Wouji's strength, he would not be able to lay out such a bold atmosphere. can trap the heroes of the world in the big array between the sizes, plus he is a descendant of the Song family, he should also know that there is such a formation on the shore of the Yangtze River - Geng Canghuai has recognized that the short-sidedness old man is Zao Wou-ki. He stared closely, but wanted to see what was so wonderful about the chaotic stone formation on this big stone slope that could trap twenty-nine masters, and one of them was Gu Shangong, the ancestor of Geng Canghuai's sect. Geng Canghuai is out of Songyang, but only a named disciple, Gushan is a master who made Songyang a brilliant faction at the beginning of the dynasty, and after Songyang is weak, it can also make the disciples of Songyang Liuyang raise their eyebrows. After Geng Canghuai got started, he felt that his martial arts were scattered, if it wasn't for his careful thinking and self-realization, he would not be able to reach today's realm. Now that he has achieved great success, he can't help but care more about the origin of martial arts in this dynasty - gossip less. I saw the big stone henge on the big stone slope, clearly with the big stone as the latitude and longitude, the layout is ingenious, and the key points in the meantime are only afraid that although they are also quite heavy, but a master can still push the small stones that are half a person high. Those small stones are scattered among the big stones, and there are quite traces of the rubbing on the stones, and there is a piece not far from Geng Canghuai. He thought about it here, but saw that Zao Wou-Ki had already stopped his hand and returned to the big rock he was sitting on—the big rock was in a strange position. Although it was not the highest, it could overlook the whole array, and only heard Zao Wou-Ki mutter: "Fortunately, it was finally moved before the ugly hour three minutes." ”

Geng Canghuai looked at his modified formation, and sure enough, the weather had changed again, with black shadows and infinite killing opportunities. Suddenly, I heard a sharp voice say: "Zhao Lao'er, do you think that this pile of stones can trap me for seven days?" ”

Zao Wou-ki's forehead furrowed,—— he was already anxious. On that day, he introduced Luo Han into this formation, full of certainty, even if he had a sharp sword, but as soon as he entered this formation, with the forest in the array, he guaranteed that he could not deal with it with a short sword, and he either wanted to trap him for a few days or a few days.

But the outcome was much beyond his expectations - the power of this array was of course in the people who set it up. There is no legend in this array, he is also from the royal family, and he has ambitions to martial arts, so he has heard of it. When I was a child, I got this secret map in the "Langya Pavilion" in the big house, and I was very interested, so I copied a copy. After the Jingkang Rebellion, he lived by the river for a long time, and remembered what he heard when he was a child, so he was able to visit and explore. Then I spent ten years of my mind before I had some experience in the operation of the machine. Although Luo Han's arc sword is sharp, he doesn't believe that he can deal with a great master like Guiyouzong for three years. Now there is a chaotic formation on the big stone slope where the master of "Yishu" and "Luo Wei" is sitting in the formation. It is rumored that after returning to Youzong to set up this array, he was also extremely excited, and carved on a big stone: "Fu heaven and earth are furnaces, creation is work, yin and yang are macro, and all things are copper." "I am proud in my heart, it can be seen that in just a few inscriptions, what he wants to refine is the soul of the world's masters.

The stone was now in the middle of the array, less than three feet away from where Luo Han was standing, where Luo Han was pondering. Zhao Wuji thought: Of course, he can't reach the Guiyouzong, but Luo Han will not be able to reach the twenty-nine masters in the previous dynasty. I only heard Luo Han shouting: "Husband heaven and earth are furnaces? Creation into work? Yin and Yang are charcoal? All things are copper? ”

- The same words are pronounced differently in his mouth. The end of the sentence is no longer a conclusion, but a question, or a cloud question! I only heard him say: "Hehe, but I don't accept it!" You are a descendant of the Zhao family, and you really have the stinky temper of the emperor Lao'er, who takes everything in the world as a dog. But everything in the world is what you say you can refine? Even if you are the furnace of heaven and earth, and you refine my desolate land, the realm of the outside, there is no gold, no copper, no name, and nothing else! ”

As he spoke, he saw a cold light rising in the dark night. The sword light was rippling, rippling like a sparkling water, and there was a kind of intoxicating brilliance in this dark night. I saw that on the big stone slope, the wind and clouds suddenly rose, and Luo Han had grasped the opportunity and rushed to the east. As soon as he moved, Zao Wou-Ki felt bad and immediately pounced. The position where he sat seemed to be convenient to go anywhere, so although he moved back, he still stopped in front of Luo Han. I saw him striking from the air, his stick was long, it was Taizu's 'Qi Mei', this volley blow, coupled with the power of the stone henge, was not trivial. Luo Han refused to lose in terms of momentum, and dared to use a two-foot short sword to take Zao Wou-ki's stick with his eyebrows!

I only heard the sound of 'ding', the sword and stick intersected, although the sound was not loud, but the spark was bright. Luo Han was not all hard joints, and the short sword had already gone up the stick and slashed straight towards the back of Zao Wouji's hand. Zao Wou-Ki's left hand immediately loosened, grabbed the other end of the stick with his right hand, and slammed it straight into Luo Han's chest. Luo Hanxu held the head of the stick and stretched out his hand, but the short sword circled Zhao Wouji's throat; Zhao Wouji shrank his head, but the cloth band on his bun was brought by Luo Han's sword, and it was immediately cut off, and one head of hair was scattered. He didn't panic, he took the opportunity to grab the stick with his left hand, and when he broke it with both hands, the stick was bent, this trick he had used at the bottom of the river, but at that time it was a "arrow shooting wolf". At this time, it became a "chaos stick", and then let go of it, and the tip of the stick bounced out with a stream of air. Luo Han's strength was weak, and he couldn't resist the elasticity of his stick, so he reached out and pointed at him with the tip of his sword, although he avoided it, the person had already flown back into the formation. Zao Wou-ki's long hair was scattered, and he showed some flaws in the stone that almost made Luo Han escape, and then he raised his head with a stick—under the faint starlight, his face was wrinkled—who was this young man? As long as there is a slight gap, he seems to be able to escape like mercury at any time, if it weren't for this chaotic array, I really don't know if there is anything in the world that can trap him! He has done his best, and his performance in the past two days or so has exceeded his usual comprehension of this "Breaking Formation Diagram". But Luo Han's martial arts are completely unreasonable and unreasonable, although he has been trapped in the past three days, every blow he blows is against Zhao Wouji's thinking, and everything is against expectations. Several times scared Zao Wou-Ki into a cold sweat, but it seemed to contain a lot of martial arts, but unfortunately Zao Wou-Ki had no time to comprehend. If it weren't for the fact that this big stone henge was really magnificent, there were often wonderful uses that Zao Wou-Ki had not foreseen, and with his understanding in the past, he was afraid that Luo Han had already escaped from the formation at this time. Since the siege, Zao Wou-Ki has only had a little leisure for the first half of the day, drinking two sips of his own small wine, and he has not eaten a mouthful of anything for more than two days. Until this time, he no longer knew if he trapped Luo Han with a stone formation, or Luo Han dragged him with this formation?

At this time, Zao Wou-Ki couldn't help but think of the "yin and yang fish" in the Taiji diagram that he had faced since he was a child. Two fish hugging each other, which is yin and which is yang? In "Yi Wei", it is said: "The tongue has a tongue, and the person is on the side", this situation between himself and Luo Han is not like a tongue with a tongue? It's more like the two yin and yang fish - is the yin from the yang, or the yang hugging the yin? Is there the opposite of yes or no? Or is it all that is nothing? Zao Wou-Ki's white hair was gloomy, thinking about this.

There are clouds in "Yi" - "Ninety-three, no peace, no return; Don't be compassionate about it, and be blessed with food. ”

"Elephant Day: 'Never Return, Heaven and Earth'"

——Trapped people are always trapped by themselves?

Zao Wou-Ki was groaning here, but Geng Canghuai was thinking about something else. He doesn't do easy entanglement, but he thinks of some worldly affairs - Taizu Taizong, and Guiyouzong, are both a generation of heroes, but what they do - cut down all the soldiers in the world, thinking that they are comfortable; Is it really right to take away the power of all the people and think that it will be permanent?

He remembered that since the Song Dynasty, since the founding of the country, there has been no end to internal strife and external troubles. It is said that the country lacks pillars and there are no talented people in the wilderness, but even if there are - such as the beginning of the Song Dynasty, such as the Song Dynasty, the court has cut all the military power, and the rivers and lakes are full of heroes - all the soldiers in the world are cut in order to have no soldiers, and the people in the world are fooled in order to have no chaos. From now on, the world is like a waste - can the peace in exchange for this last long? Is it really too peaceful again?

He looked at the formation, only to see that the big stones in the formation were dotted around, magical ghosts, Luo Han was standing in the middle, but his body was stiff - this young man usually looks tired, but every time he encounters a predicament, he shows his edge. The weather on the big stone slope is myriad, but it doesn't seem to be able to drown out his momentum. He was pondering, but on his shoulders and arms, on his sword and on his eyebrows, there was a strange aura that this Stonehenge diagram couldn't trap! His stop was a few moments. Half an hour had passed since the apocalyptic star rose in the sky, and Luo Han suddenly shouted: "Zao Wou-ki, I understand, I want to break your formation at the beginning of the hour - before the morning light is faint!" ”

At three o'clock, there was a faint rooster cry in the distance. Zhao Wuji suddenly moved again, he was about to rush to the end of the time, and immediately changed his formation before the yang energy first vomited. I saw him walking in a hurry, circling and hurrying among the stone formations. In the blink of an eye, he had moved more than a dozen large stones, and then looked up at the sky, as if he was quite urgent, and quickened his hands and feet. Geng Canghuai saw that his change this time was even more subtle. Shicai and Zao Wou-Ki sat on the boulder, silent, struggling to calculate, it seems that this time he is also vomiting blood. Geng Canghuai decided to help Luo Han, aiming at the outermost edge of the three-choice stone that Zao Wou-Ki had moved, and quietly hid it. His hands and feet were extremely light, and Zao Wou-Ki didn't expect that there would be others in the formation, so he didn't notice it at all, and he was busy with him. Quietly, Geng Canghuai had secretly moved two of them by half a foot.

Geng Canghuai didn't know if he was moving right, this half-foot move was harmful or helpful to Luo Han, but he was worried that he had inadvertently triggered the more powerful killer in this array. I saw the dark shadows in the array, and there seemed to be no change. At this time, it was the darkest moment before dawn, and he remembered Luo Han's words just now, to break this formation at the beginning of the hour, for some reason, his palms felt slightly sweaty. Zao Wou-Ki was also busy with his hands, and retreated to the boulder, silent.

All three of them are equal to the same moment, and this moment means very different to the three of them. Luo Han is determined to win, Geng Canghuai is resolute to help, but Zao Wou-Ki is tired. Thinking about the changes in this formation in the night, I don't seem to have figured it out yet, as long as I resist this moment, maybe tomorrow during the day, I can spend a day to stop the day.

- The three of them never imagined that one day they would be in the same valley to see the dawn together.

The sky suddenly darkened, and then, with a faint dew, leached out of the sky. I only heard Luo Han's long howl, the sound was shocking for several miles, inside and outside the valley, night birds flew one after another, and they were singing in the sky. Then, a sword light rose with the faint morning light, like mercury dipping into the ground, the first birth of a strange flower, lingering, and poignant, quite different from Luo Han's previous sword intent. Although its momentum was slow, it seeped out of the array unstoppably. Zao Wou-Ki also shouted, grabbed the eyebrow stick, and leaped up, the shadow of the stick was like weaving, from under the canopy.

Geng Canghuai didn't have time to look at them closely, so he sank his waist and struck straight at the third stone. Although the stone was heavy, it was pushed more than three feet away by him. He still didn't think it was enough, so he leaned his back against a boulder of nearly 10,000 catties, used all his strength to lean on. is so Geng Canghuai, even the 10,000 catties of boulders were shaken by him. Then he saw that the array seemed to change instantly, and the stones were still those stones, I don't know if it was because of the light of day, but it looked much brighter. But the boulder was too heavy, and it was restored immediately, Geng Canghuai almost felt out of strength, his eyes were dark, but he felt that the situation in the formation was dark again. It seems that this array is not destroyed if it is destroyed!

At this time, he heard Luo Han laugh. There was a clashing sound between his sword and Zao Wouji's eyebrow stick, "Ding Ding Ding Ding". As soon as Zhao Wouji took it, he was shocked to realize that Luo Han's ** was the glimmer of light, and at that moment, there seemed to be some flaws in this array. He blocked with all his might, but he felt that the formation shook in his blocking, and at that moment, Luo Han and his sword had escaped out of the formation with the light of the sky. Zhao Wouji was stunned for a moment, and saw that Luo Han had jumped onto a big stone and took a sharp breath. Zao Wou-ki's scalp exploded, but he didn't want to run into him at this time. was stunned, laughed, but fled towards the heart of the formation. Luo Han was annoyed that he had been trapped for three days, and at this time he was about to return a tooth for a tooth, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw his actions. This big stone henge was too complicated, and he didn't dare to chase it easily. That Zao Wou-Ki had already smiled and said: "Little friend Luo, your swordsmanship comprehension is really far beyond Xiao Lao'er's previous expectations-I thought I could trap you for at least seven days with this formation, and when the time comes, I can't let you go and see my interest." You can just make trouble for Boss Yuan, and now it seems that haha, haha, haha, you are only afraid that you are one of the few people in the world who can fight against Boss Yuan. Hehe, my cousin and I have also taken several risks and tried to penetrate Boss Yuan into this formation before, but who knows that he is not fooled. Now it seems that he did not come, and I don't know if it was his creation or ours. I'll only hold you back for three days, but these three days are enough. Brother Luo, we'll see you again when we get back. ”

As he spoke, he glared hatefully at Geng Canghuai's hiding place: "Who is the master behind that stone?" Hehe, with this skill, in addition to Boss Yuan, there is probably only Geng Canghuai in Jiangnan now. If it weren't for your help, Luo's children would not be able to get out of this formation or be undecided, the virtue of friends, my Zhao brothers remembered. ”

After saying that, he didn't say much, jumped into the water, and went down the river.

Geng Canghuai saw him swim far away, and only then did he reveal his figure. Luo Han was collecting his sword, his sword was unsheathed, wrapped in a piece of cloth, but hidden in his sleeve. He was already thin, but he didn't eat the grain of rice in the past three days, and his lower abdomen was even more concave. Geng Canghuai saw him bend down and wash his face in the stream, the cold water of the stream made his young skin tighter. After a few days of water and rice, his hazel skin looked a little pale, but it was more energetic. Geng Canghuai has always felt that he has few words, but Luo Han is even more withdrawn. After washing his face, he leaned on the boulder to rest, and it seemed that this battle was also quite a huge drain on him. He waited there for the dawn, the grass and trees in the valley gradually became clear, it was a winter day, the grass on the plain, the morning dew sighed (next to the word day, can not be typed), the morning light has a touch of frost color, thin and cold. Then, as if he had finished resting, the boy stood up, took a breath, jumped into the water, and swam back to the river.

Geng Canghuai followed him to the end of the stone gap. Luo Han pursed his lips and whistled, and outside the stone gap, there was a camel's roar. One master, one animal and two chirps corresponded, and the valley echoed, extremely jubilant, and even Geng Canghuai was secretly happy when he heard it. In the blink of an eye, he saw the sandbar, and Luo Han jumped out and hugged the camel, although he lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, Geng Canghuai was so happy to see him for the first time.

Geng Canghuai still wanted to say something to him, but at this time he seemed to feel that he couldn't say anything. Yuan Boss, Ti Cai, Bi Jie, Bailuzhou, Jiangnan Wulin Rebellion...... All of this, these seem to be out of the same world as this teenager. He doesn't care about that, although he robs darts and kills people, but every move, word and deed seems to have a world of his own. Even if he walked by someone else's world by chance, he didn't look like he was dripping, but it also made people wonder - why did he come?

Geng Canghuai thought silently, not knowing how to enter his world.

Geng Canghuai didn't expect that he would stay with this young man outside the big stone slope for three days. Although he is a ranger, he sleeps in the open, but he rarely lives in the wild. looked at Luo Han, but it seemed that he was used to living in the wild. In the past three days, Luo Han has been silent, except for occasionally brushing the camel, which is sleeping. In fact, he didn't even sleep much, and spent most of his time sneaking into the big stone slope, sitting quietly and watching the stone formation.

Geng Canghuai was also curious about Luo Han's behavior, so he also went to see it with him. I saw Luo Han sitting on the big stone that Zao Wou-Ki had sat on that day, meditating, and sitting all day. He is also really hungry, it is common not to eat for a day, and Geng Canghuai feels that he can't afford to accompany him.

The first time Geng Canghuai saw this big stone slope was in the dark night, but now it looks different during the day. These days have been rare and sunny. The winter is melting, the frost is cold, and the big stone drape is even more majestic. One grass and one tree, one sand and one stone, all have the meaning of foreign grandeur. Luo Han sat on the big stone and looked so small. - Heaven and earth give birth to man, but the time for man to return to the heaven and earth from which he came and to see the world up close is often less and less as he grows older. Over the years, Geng Canghuai has been running through the dust, and he rarely has this unique interest in nature. Geng Canghuai looked at the young man, and somehow felt moved. This Luo Han has no right and no name, and he has no right to name in his chest, he has been outside the plug for a long time, willing to be lonely, looking at his expression, but he can return to the beginning of heaven and earth alone in a lonely place. With that sword and that hand, facing the furnace of heaven and earth, creating a miracle workmanship, and seeking the place of self, it is really rare at a young age.

Truly, heaven and earth begot man, but why did man begot? - What is life? Why do people die? - De Xi Ruo? Lost or ridiculed? ——These are the big problems of life that Geng Canghuai had in his heart when he was young. But the society is too big, and Geng Canghuai's own learning and martial arts are too vast, as vast as a sea of smoke, as soon as he enters it, he immediately indulges in it. Many of the original big problems have given way to some small problems around them. This life makes people not need to worry about the future, only the near worry.

Near-term worries are bitter, but long-term worries are empty and boundless. What is the universe? What is a person? What is time? Where am I? All of them, like the monsters of the wilderness, are terrifying. For a moment, Geng Canghuai thought of himself and the world with sadness. This world is very good, he should not complain, no matter what, people have to survive in this society, it is the meaning of your survival - the incorruptible take the name, the greedy take money; The weak and small people love the warmth of the room, and the heroic and strategic ones want to win the authority of the world; Rich and boastful neighbors, ** ten thousand times, all want to take advantage of the moment; Touching some shrimp in the three-foot creek and adulterating a woman in a hundred-foot tall building can also be regarded as a lifelong wish; Join the WTO for profit, escape from the world and be virtuous; Trample on all people and gain honor, who is honored and who is dishonored? Lonely love insects and ants and strange places, for loss is gain? As for the old man holding the urn and the rice worshipping stone...... The world will always give you a meaning to live, as long as you — acknowledge it first.

But Luo Han seemed to deny it, and he was alone in the wilderness. - There is a Song Dynasty, who is allowed to be educated, but he thinks of himself as a foreigner. What is "Hua"? A lot of people don't think about it. Only then did Geng Canghuai understand why Luo Han's sword strength, the strength of a blow, the speed of a leap, and the remoteness of an arc were all unstoppable and unprecedented—he had really gone far in martial arts. The martial arts school is like a sea of sand and sea, inclusive of countless people; Each family has its own faction, each with its own origins, and the years are long, and the ambiguity is doubled. At that time, the Huashan faction had a sword and qi dispute, and Shaolin also continued to rebel in the mantle, each family and faction sought a preaching, but the 'Tao' was passed down - the predecessors opened the foundation, the descendants decorated, a hall and a room, a frame and a structure, all from the hands of the people. Even if it is difficult to say that the foreign scenery is large, it is also a complex structure; Not to mention Meilun Meihuan, but they are also a little clever and unique. The so-called fight is to cover you with the condoms of this faction, but you are addicted, and you will all fall, depending on whether your skills are high or his means are deep. But that Luo Han was alone with a sword, ignoring all kinds of methods, going back to before martial arts. Exploring the source alone, of course, he has been living with water, although the confusion and emptiness in the meantime are even more than others, but he has indeed achieved what he has inherited.

- In fact, in the minds of countless people in the rivers and lakes, the martial arts he hopes for are really doorless and unschooled at the source of the vast sea of smoke. That was the beginning of consciousness, the heaven and the earth were Hongmeng, and there was a faint line. Nowadays, there are thousands of sects, and those who lead to there and connect to the source are often just that one point, and those who realize this are all the same. Geng Canghuai's martial arts studies were actually heard by a scribe when he was thirty years old. The scribe said, "To learn is what you seek, before you find the language," and this was a profound statement. Geng Canghuai realized from this that if he wants to succeed in learning martial arts, he should also return to before he has a move, but in fact, standing at the source, it is a completely unexplored wasteland. Here, the civil and military are on the same path, but they can return together, Confucius and Mencius viewed it, and said: "This place is vast, the deceased is like Sifu, the quicksand is weak and the water, and the uncertain will indulge in infinity, which is not suitable for the small people." "Compassion for all beings, so the saying "respect ghosts and gods and stay away", hang the five classics and six arts to teach the world, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, open the foundation of the world, although there is ringworm, eventually become a great virtue. For thousands of years, Dong Zhongshu, Han Yu, generations of great Confucians, stacked houses and framed floors, and built human ethics, that is, they wanted to build a house so that the thoughts of the surname Wanmin Zhao were at ease. There are rules to follow, and there is a stop to movement, so as not to face the unpredictable storm and snow in the desert of consciousness.

Because that emptiness is really enough to destroy the meaning of human existence. In addition, the old hire has the way of the old hire, Zhuang Zhou has the way of Zhuang Zhou, we are younger, but there is a return, all of them are sheltered in its wings, so that they can occasionally get meaning in the life of mayflies. - Just like Geng Canghuai's responsibility to benefit the people and the world, to cheer himself up with the idea of family and country, and to resist the impermanence of life and the difference of physics, if you think about it carefully, it is nothing more than that. So he was moved by that Luo Han, a person who dared to be alone and empty was respectable no matter what—if it wasn't for this young man, he wouldn't think of it again.

Thinking about it, Geng Canghuai stepped into the formation. This pile of stones, once activated by people, was as powerful as promised, and his heart was also shocked. Now that the man in control of the formation is gone, the stone has become just a stone. He walked to the big stone in the middle, and sure enough, there were words engraved by a generation of martial saints Gui Youzong on it. Geng Canghuai looked up, the iron hook was silver, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of looking up at the mountains in his heart. I saw that big stone, the weather is unique, on the stone surface, the words are as big as a fist. The engraved text is quoted from Jia Yi's "Ostrich Fu", and the source is indicated at the end of the article - if you don't note, Geng Canghuai doesn't know where it came from, but the text quoted is:

…… The world is the furnace, and the creation is the work; Yin and yang are charcoal, and all things are copper. Disperse the news, and there are regular rules; Ever-changing, there is no beginning. Suddenly being embarrassed, what is control; What is the trouble of turning into a foreign body! ……

If the words were affectionate and the grievances were deep and wide, Geng Canghuai was stunned for a while. As soon as he turned around, Luo Han was still sitting silently on the big stone. What did he realize? - Geng Canghuai didn't know.

On the night of the third day, Geng Canghuai was asleep and woke up suddenly, but it was Luo Han who roared. His whistling voice is also extraordinary, clear and sharp, out of the dantian, back from the valley, if there is a shape, straight to the bullfighting flame. Geng Canghuai knew that he would have something to gain, so he raised his head and saw a sky full of stars. The darker the sky, the brighter the stars, but that roar is the breath of the living people in this heaven and earth. This roar was enough for tea to stop, and the nearby villagers could smell it, fearing that it was like Zen in a dream; If a passer-by can hear it, he doesn't know how to be frightened.

The next day, Luo Han packed his bag, found a change of clothes in the leather bag on Luo's back, and thoroughly washed his body before leading the camel on the road again. He seemed to know that Geng Canghuai was with him, but he didn't know if it was out of politeness, so he didn't ride it, but only led the camel on foot. Geng Canghuai also went on the road, and there was always a distance of about ten steps from him, and the two of them just didn't say anything all the way, one after the other. After a day's travel, I made a sharp point in the elm tree shop at noon, but stopped at the stone bridge at night.

Shiqiao Town is so small,—— at this time the two of them have left Anwei and entered the territory of southern Jiangsu. Along the way, the accent has changed. The young man led the camel through the market, and although it was strange, he was quite compatible with the local people. Although the language barrier was different, even the comparison and drawing allowed him to find a place to stay. On a bluestone road in the town, there is a "Jun'an Stack".

Along the way, many children chased his camel. The camel was a little impatient, but Luo Han seemed to be quite kind to the children. From time to time, some daring children reached out and touched the camel, and then laughed and scattered themselves. Then seeing that the camel and Luo Han did not react, they gathered again. The camel looked at Luo Han from time to time, as if he didn't want to be patient, but Luo Han's face was calm and he didn't react. Geng Canghuai saw that there was a sigh in the eyes of the animal, and silently endured the group of naughty boys, following his master's wishes, and letting those naughty children disturb him.

found the "Jun'an Stack", Luo Han took out a piece of broken silver and asked for a room. Geng Canghuai saw that he robbed a lot of darts, and he was not very generous, and what surprised him even more was that at this time, Luo Han turned around and smiled at him, and said the first sentence to him in the past three days: "I don't have much silver, I can't afford to invite you, you can live in the same room with me." ”

Geng Canghuai was stunned for a moment, feeling a little "flattered". He has never been pampered, and this feeling is funny when he thinks about it. There was only one bed in the guest room, and Luo Han asked the shopkeeper to take the door panel and build another one. He didn't want the bedding, and in the south of the Yangtze River in November, he also slept on the planks, but he was also neat. The walls and walls of the room were all flooded with water-soaked marks, mottled and shaped. Geng Canghuai didn't expect that one day, he would be in the same room with this lonely boy.

After the two had dinner, Luo Han washed his face and lay down on the hard bed before saying the second sentence to Geng Canghuai. It's a question – "What are you looking for me?" ”

Geng Canghuai groaned for a while, and then said, "It's Boss Yuan who asked me to find you, and he wants to meet you." ”

In fact, he himself didn't know why he wanted to pass on such a sentence from generation to generation.

Luo Han said lightly: "Didn't I ask someone to pass a message to him, and all the accounts will be settled next year?" ”

Geng Canghuai was stunned: "Then I don't know." ”

Luo Han didn't speak for a while, and Geng Canghuai sat on the edge of the bed. The people of the town rested early, and it was already quiet outside. Luo Han was speechless, and Geng Canghuai couldn't find anything to say. After thinking about it, he took off his shoes, closed his clothes, and lay down on the bed. After lying down for a while, I felt strange on my body, only to realize that there were fleas. Luo Han doesn't want a quilt, but it makes sense. Geng Canghuai stretched out his hand to pinch a few, and looked sideways at Luo Han's side, but saw that others seemed to be lying flat, in fact, only the occipital bone and the back heel of the whole body were firmly connected to the bed board. Geng Canghuai was shocked-he had never seen anyone practice like this, and then he couldn't help laughing. He has good eyesight, and when he is lucky, he sees that Luo Han's whole body collapses tightly, even on his face - because his bed is not without fleas, there are a few on his arm, and sometimes he sees Luo Han's eyebrows jump, but he can't help it, it is obviously bitten by a flea. There were already a few red spots on his exposed skin, but the fleas that bit him were bitter, because Luo Han tightened his skin under their bites, so that they couldn't open their mouths. He was so childish that he didn't reach out to catch it, and the man and the flea were in a stalemate. Geng Canghuai smiled secretly in his belly - he was a young man, and he had never seen such a "human flea war" in the martial arts.

After resting for a while, Geng Canghuai couldn't help it, so he could only sit up. The oil lamp was still on, and Geng Canghuai saw that Luo Han had closed his eyes as if he was asleep, so he stretched out his fingers and flicked out the oil lamp. The moonlight outside the window soaked in slightly, which made Geng Canghuai feel quite a sense of tonight and night, and remembered Xiao Liu'er and ...... in his heart Bridesmaids. Is "fragrant mist clouds and wet temples, clear and bright jade arms cold" talking about such a state of mind at this moment? What happened to them now? Are you thinking of him?

The night is as cool as water, and the slight coolness is like Geng Canghuai's heart's thoughts, like the taste of tea, although it is light, it is an indispensable attachment to survival in people's hearts.

After a long time, Luo Han suddenly said, "What kind of person is Boss Yuan?" ”

- It turned out that he hadn't slept, Geng Canghuai wanted to answer him this question, and he thought about it for a long time. He easily did not answer, but if he had an answer, he should be as detailed as possible, because it was about the possible conflict between Luo Han and Boss Yuan—it was a matter of life and death.

Fortunately, Luo Han had the patience to wait, and Geng Canghuai spoke after a long time: "He is the only master I have seen in my life." ”

"He's going to be forty-six years old. In fact, his background is also very bitter, and he has been in chaos for half his life. It is said that when he was a child, he was requisitioned by the imperial court because of a strange stone in his home, and his house was demolished in order to transport the strange stone. In a fit of rage, he walked the rivers and lakes and apprenticed to his teacher, but he was attacked by his peers several times and forced to break out several times. But he was stoic by nature, and he began to learn only the ordinary 'Ape Gong Sword', because there was a word that matched his surname, and he actually sharpened it into a set of peerless swordsmanship. I've seen his own changed swordsmanship - Yuan Chenlong was only twenty-four years old at that time, and he was talented and understanding. ”

But what he has more than that is courage and perseverance. I met him in the seventh year of Xuanhe, when Jin Bing first went south. At that time, his martial arts were not successful, but his younger brother Yuan Hanting was taken captive by the Jin people, and I heard that he tracked thousands of miles, in a hundred thousand troops in and out of a few times, several times of blood, and once hit the Jin people's master Zuo General Jin Zhangsun, seriously injured and killed, it took a year and two months to rescue the weak brother from the hands of the Jin people. After being rescued, he became even more spontaneously angry, and gradually came out of his edge. 'One Sword and Three Stars' was defeated by his men in those two years. It is said that he summoned with righteousness, and there were a few people gathered around him at that time, which may be the predecessor of Mo Yu's so-called 'Yuanmen'. ”

"From the difficulty of Jingkang, I heard that he joined the Zongze army, because his personality was too strong, he was repeatedly promoted and deposed, but his merits were prominent. When King Kang crossed the river, he was in the guard, and then the Jin soldiers went south, and King Kang once traveled to the sea to avoid the Jin soldiers, so he was lucky to be able to get all. The guards of Boss Yuan and one of his personal soldiers can be said to have made great contributions, but after the initial decision of the imperial court, his merits were falsely recognized several times, and Boss Yuan was subordinated for a while. And Zhao Gou once abandoned Yuan Chenlong because of slander. But he was not idle, in the rivers and lakes, his power gradually expanded, his minions were beginning to form, and his wings were diving, during which he also made several small comebacks. The first is to help Liu Qi suppress the bandits in Xiangxi, and once to prevent the assassins of the Jinren, all of which have been successful. Zhao Gou has never dared to completely depose him, but because of the fear of people in the rivers and lakes, coupled with the existence of the clan bifido, he has never dared to donate to Boss Yuan. Until the eighth year of Shaoxing, the local turmoil, he was ordered to re-emerge, reorganize the cavalry, so that the power was publicized, out of control. Now the news and intelligence of the imperial court, the pursuit and imprisonment - all the safety and security matters, he has to participate, it can be said that he has a lot of power. ”

"Since then, Jiangnan has become what it is today." Geng Canghuai sighed, he was dissatisfied with Boss Yuan, sometimes he saw that Tiqi was brutal, and he really hated to get rid of it. But--he accidentally thought about himself: if he put himself in the position of Boss Yuan, maintain such a big court, and control these giant clans and heroes, and Wan Minzhao, he doubted that he would do better than him, or would he be in a mess of the world?

Geng Canghuai sighed, politics is dirty, probably because people are dirty. Although Geng Canghuai didn't want to admit this, he still felt that all compromises were dirty. Helplessly, since the beginning of life, everyone has lived in this dirty, nourishing and nourishing, and also aggrieved and aggrieved to survive in despicability and conspiracy, sacrifice and exploitation.

Luo Han listened quietly and did not interject. After Geng Cang held his mouth for a while, he asked again: "How is his martial arts?" ”

Geng Canghuai was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, this matter is not very easy to evaluate - everyone has different standards, everyone has different standards, he didn't know what Luo Han's standards were, so he asked with a smile: "According to my recollection, you seem to have followed me in Jiangxi and watched me shoot, what do you think of my martial arts?" ”

Luo Han said "um", acquiesced in the tracking, and thought for a while before replying, "It's okay." ”

Then he said, "It's too regular." ”

Geng Canghuai didn't think that he would answer like this, so he couldn't help laughing, but he heard Luo Han continue very seriously: "It will be very tiring to practice like this, but it is indeed profound. ”

After thinking about it, Luo Han added: "I'm not sure I can beat you." ”

He couldn't get enough of it, looking out the window, but finally added, "But I might be able to kill you." ”

Geng Canghuai was stunned for a moment, and then understood: killing one person is different from winning another person - but he didn't expect Luo Han to say that. He didn't think it was wrong, but felt that this young man was honest and cute, so he smiled and said: "If you follow what you said, then Boss Yuan's kung fu is not very regular, and it can even be said that it is too unruly." ”

Glancing at Luo Han from the corner of his eye, a smile flashed across his face: "But he won't be bitter when he practices it." "——Is there a supreme martial art in this world that can be cultivated without suffering? - Aren't you Luo Han bitter when you practice? Geng Canghuai thought with a wry smile: It's just that everyone has a different way of taking pain as happiness.

"——Boss Yuan's kung fu is more extensive and deeper than mine, maybe I surpass him, it's just that he doesn't practice as hard as a fool like me, but his martial arts are quite domineering. He is a number of famous families, knows many boxing techniques, and almost knows everything in the world's martial arts, so he can also make moves almost without following the rules, and his momentum is like a raging wave, and the sea is crossing. I only tried my hand with him when I was young, and now I haven't seen him for more than ten years, but his martial arts at that time are still shocking to think about. ”

After thinking about it, Geng Canghuai said again: "Famous masters in the rivers and lakes, many have their own stunts, such as me, with 'Tongjian Boxing', 'Block Lei True Qi' and 'Responding to the Divine Palm', I am also famous, but Yuan Boss is different, he has learned too much, and he often doesn't ask the source of the secret skills of each faction, just use it." He has been busy with world affairs and has no heart to sort it out, so no one knows what martial arts he is good at. If it can be called, the only way to do this is to add the name of 'Yuan' in front of his various fists and feet, such as, 'Yuan's Luohan Boxing', 'Yuan's Taiping Knife', 'Yuan Gongjian', 'Yuanmen's Heart Method'...... Right? ”

"I have rarely been convinced in my life, especially those with different interests and shortcomings. But if you talk about martial arts alone, when it comes to the three words of Yuan Boss, I can only say three comments - admiration, admiration...... In the end, I admire. ”

Luo Han listened quietly, and did not feel that Geng Cang was exaggerating. After a long time, Geng Canghuai sighed and concluded: "So I can't provide you with any information about him." I only heard that he recently has an original mental method, known as 'sorrow can hurt people', I don't know what the mystery is. Alas, speaking of which, with Yuan Chenlong's kung fu, it really reached the point where he could open a mountain and establish a faction. It's just that he has too many things to do in the world, and he doesn't have the time to do it, and he is afraid that he has no interest in doing it. ”

Luo Han didn't speak for a while, and finally asked, "Then what do you think, how is my kung fu?" ”

Geng Canghuai thought about it, wanted to say something, but seemed to be unable to speak, thought about it, and then said: "It's not good to compare, it's not easy to compare." - I've only seen you make a shot once or twice, and it's very easy and dangerous, and it's very human, but with all due respect, your swordsmanship is not very good, and your shot seems to be a little stingy. ”

This sentence seems to hit Luo Han's heart, he has been speechless since then, which makes Geng Canghuai regret it, is it a little straighter, but it is not easy to change his words. In his heart, he has regarded Luo Han as his little brother. It's just that the eldest brother of this little brother wants to be the eldest brother, but it's really difficult.

They then walked together for two more days. Geng Canghuai was because he had nothing to do for a while, so he simply embellished Luo Han to see how he behaved. I saw that Luo Han still didn't say anything all the way, and when he stayed at night, he didn't ask Geng Canghuai anything again. It's just that from the next night, Geng Canghuai suddenly heard the sound of sharpening the sword in his sleep, and when he woke up and listened carefully, it came from his head. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that Luo Han, who was in the same room, was no longer there. He was curious, and when he went out, he saw Luo Han sitting on the roof, sharpening his two-foot short sword with the tiles of the eaves.

In the night that followed, Geng Canghuai felt that sometimes, Luo Han didn't seem to sleep all night, or with his fingers or the back of his feet, hanging on the eaves of the beams or the big tree outside the door, practicing his waist and leg strength. Geng Canghuai saw that his posture was strange, and he didn't know the origin of his kung fu, so he was only secretly surprised.

They went eastward all the way. Within two days, it was rumored on the road that Boss Yuan was dissatisfied with Luo Han's robbery and killing of officials and wounding his brother with a sword, and he had led his subordinates to sit in Zhenjiang. The momentum is pressing, saying that Luo Han is not out, so he wants to ask the recipient of the dart silver, Yi Cup of wine, for an explanation. Luo Hanxing has been walking on the wilderness road by the river, and there are no pedestrians on the road, these words are all Geng Canghuai went to inquire back. After Luo Han heard about it, he didn't say anything, but the foothold was even more remote, no longer in the inn, but in the farmer's house in the wilderness village. Because of the secluded road he walked, they really didn't meet any characters along the way, and no one could know his whereabouts, but the sound of Luo Han sharpening his sword every night was longer and longer.

In the past few days, the cold snap has invaded the south and the north wind has gradually become fierce, and Geng Canghuai feels that his clothes are thin. stayed this night, and in the middle of the night, Geng Canghuai heard that there was a sword wind hidden outside the door. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the oil lamp was still on by Luo Han's couch, and there was a yellowed sword-style miscellaneous book under the lamp, which Luo Han often reads these days. Geng Canghuai walked to the window, looked out from the window, and saw that in the courtyard, in the north wind, Luo Han was dancing the sword. Looking up, the sky is full of clouds and moons, smashed in the court, and the courtyard is clear. Luo Han's sword was strong and strong, hunting in the hissing north wind, but he heard Luo Han chant in a low voice:

Last night the wind was full of air,

The room is long and windy.

The wind is outside the door,

A curtain of plops is long in the night.

The only son is the west window,

Wake up in a trance.

If you want to hold the ancient scroll and look at it,

There is also a light and the shadow is dim.

But suddenly there was a rooster crying,

Put on a jacket and go out of the corridor.

Don't look for the stars for the night,

I'm afraid that my heart will be low for a long time.

I am the young Mu Leiluo,

Who can teach me to be open?

Geng Canghuai couldn't help but want to slap his palms - a good "don't look for stars for the night, I'm afraid that my heart will be low for a long time!" I am a young Mu Leiluo, who can teach me to be frank? This kind of midnight startled, and the pride of dancing through the atrium has not been seen for a long time.

The next day, Luo Han left without resignation, and then two days later, Geng Canghuai heard that on the day when Yuan Lao was forced to go up, a young man led a camel and shook it on the bank of the Yangtze River by the Stone City. Geng Canghuai only felt that there was a bloodline - apart from him, who else in this world would dare to be so alone from Yuan Boss Fengdi's direction?

Geng Canghuai also traveled all the way east, to see what the outcome of this inevitable showdown would be. On the way, he looked at the increasingly thick clouds in the sky, accumulating layer by layer, overwhelming Jiangnan. There is a drastic change, but I am afraid that it will happen in this land in the south of the Yangtze River!
