Chapter Seventy-One: Guiyunzhuang
It is said that Ling Muyun and Huang Rong traveled to Taihu Lake together, Huang Rong touched the scene and shook the oar and sang the words of "Water Dragon Yin", who thought that she sang the first half of the que, and the fisherman who met on the lake suddenly sang and sang the second half. Huang Rong couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the singing.
Ling Muyun asked, "Rong'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Huang Rong said: "This is a song that my father often sings, I can't imagine that a fisherman on this lake can sing it." Let's see. As he spoke, he rowed his oars and approached the fisherman's boat.
I saw that the fisherman also took away his rod and rowed the boat over. When the two boats were a few feet apart, the fisherman said, "How about a good guest on the lake, please come and have a drink?" ”
Huang Rong listened to his elegant conversation, and was even more secretly surprised, and replied, "I'm just afraid of disturbing the elderly." ”
The fisherman smiled and said: "It's rare for guests to meet, the encounter on the big lake is more open-minded, please come over." ”
After a few oars, the two boats were already approaching. Huang Rong and Ling Muyun tied the boat to the stern of the fishing boat, then stepped onto the bow of the fishing boat and greeted the fisherman. The fisherman sat down and returned the salute and said, "You may be seated." If you are sick in your lower leg and can't stand up, please complain to both of you. ”
Ling Muyun and Huang Rong said in unison: "You're welcome. ”
The two sat down in the fishing boat, only two people in the boat, the fisherman sat peacefully in the boat, and a boy in the stern of the boat was cooking wine in the stove. Ling Muyun looked at the fisherman, and saw that he was about forty years old, his face was thin, and he seemed to be seriously ill, but Ling Muyun could see that this person actually had superior martial arts. At this point, Ling Muyun has almost determined the identity of this person, he has excellent martial arts, he can sing Huang Yaoshi's favorite lyrics and songs, his legs and feet are inconvenient, and he appeared on this Taihu Lake again, it must be Lu Chengfeng who was expelled from Peach Blossom Island by Huang Yaoshi's anger in the past.
Just as Ling Muyun's thoughts were turning, he heard Huang Rong say: "This elder brother's surname is Ling, and the younger generation's surname is Huang. ”
The fisherman smiled and said, "You have to listen to the clear sound, and the vulgarity in your chest disappears." Under the surname Lu. Are the two little brothers visiting Taihu Lake for the first time? ”
"Exactly." Ling Muyun nodded and said, listening to him report his surname Lu, Ling Muyun no longer had the slightest doubt in his heart, this person was Lu Chengfeng.
Lu Chengfeng ordered the boy to take out the dishes with wine and pour wine to persuade the guests. Although the four dishes are not as good as those made by Huang Rong, the taste is also very good, the wine glasses and dishes are clean and exquisite, and the price is very expensive at a glance, which is obviously from a rich family. Ling Muyun is not surprised by this, Lu Chengfeng's family is a big family in Taihu Lake, and his son Lu Guanying is the head of the water thieves in Taihu Lake.
The three of them drank two glasses together. Lu Chengfeng said: "The song "Water Dragon Yin" sung by the talented little brother is full of emotion, and it is really a wonderful word. The little brother is young, and it is really rare to be able to understand the deep meaning of the words. ”
Huang Rong listened to him talk old-fashioned, smiled slightly, and said: "Since the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, all poets and writers have the sorrow of their families and countries, which is also inevitable......"
Lu Chengfeng nodded in agreement, and the two talked about poetry, which was very speculative. In fact, Huang Rong is so young, what is the sorrow of her family and country? As for the deep meaning of the words, it is even more difficult to understand, but I heard my father say it before, and then I copied it out, and the words and opinions are naturally unique and incisive, extremely extraordinary, and Lu Chengfeng is an apprentice taught by Huang Yaoshi, and the cultural ideas are also in the same vein as Huang Yaoshi.
After talking for a while, seeing that the twilight was blue and the smoke on the lake was thicker, Lu Chengfeng issued an invitation: "It is fate to be able to meet the two of you by chance in the next day, and you live on the lakeside in the next house, so I take the liberty of inviting the two of you to go to the lakeside." There are quite a few peaks and mountains near the humble house, and the two of them are swimming in the mountains and rivers anyway, so please be sure to enjoy the light. ”
Huang Rong turned to look at Ling Muyun: "Brother Yun, what do you see?" ”
Ling Muyun saw that Lu Chengfeng's invitation was sincere, and knew that there would be good things to watch in his village next, so he nodded and said, "Rong'er, then let's bother Mr. Lu for a few words." ”
Lu Chengfeng saw that the two of them agreed, and was immediately overjoyed, and wanted to invite Ling Muyun and the two to go to his house with the boat, Ling Muyun talked about going back to the fisherman's house to return the boat and take back the mount, so Lu Chengfeng rowed the boat first, and let the boy who served him follow Ling Muyun and the two to the fisherman's house to return the boat, and led the mount, and then the boy came forward to take a big boat from a family on the lakeside, found the boatman, led the camel horse to get on the boat, invited Ling Muyun and Huang Rong to get on the boat, and then drove the boat into the lake.
Under the guidance of the boy, several sturdy boatmen rowed their boats, traveled several miles in the lake, and before they came to an island in the lake about a few miles in circumference, they anchored their boats on the bluestone dock, and Ling Muyun and Huang Rong went ashore under the guidance of the boy. Come ashore, only to see the front of the pavilion, it is a big village, cross a big stone bridge, come to the front of the village, only to see a plaque at the door of the village, write "return to Yunzhuang" three big characters, there is a young man in his twenties in front of the village to lead five or six servants to greet him, to the two of them near the bow and salute: "The father ordered the little nephew to wait for the two of them here for more than a long time. ”
Ling Muyun and Huang Rong returned the salute, Ling Muyun saw that he was wearing a familiar robe, his face was vaguely similar to Lu Chengfeng, his shoulders were broad and his back was thick, his body was strong, he was quite heroic, the sun and snow were slightly raised, his eyes were bright, and obviously his internal strength was already foundational, although it was far from his father Lu Chengfeng, but it was not bad among the younger generation.
Ling Muyun asked, "Ask Brother Lu for a big question." ”
The young man said: "The little nephew is Guanying, please call the two by name." ”
Ling Muyun saw that Lu Guanying was polite and humble, and his posture was extremely low, so he couldn't help but nod secretly. It must be known that although Lu Guanying is not very old, he is already the chief scoop of the Taihu Lake water thieves, and his status is not low, so he can be so respectful to the two of them without knowing the details of him and Huang Rong, just because his father and the two of them intersected, he admits that he is a junior, it is indeed extraordinary, no wonder he can become the head of a green forest at a young age.
The three of them walked into the inner hall as they spoke. Ling Muyun and Huang Rong saw that the village was beautifully furnished, carved beams and painted buildings, extremely poor and ingenious, and it was another atmosphere than the simple and majestic village in the north. Huang Rong looked at the road layout in Zhuangzhong all the way to fit the way of the Shushu Formation, and couldn't help but show a slight surprise on her face, Ling Muyun noticed Huang Rong's abnormality and knew why she was surprised, but because the timing was wrong, he didn't say anything to her.
The three of them entered the courtyard three times and came to the back hall, only to hear Lu Chengfeng shouting through the screen: "Please come in, please come in." ”
Lu Guanying said: "My father is inconvenient in his legs, so he is waiting in the east study." ”
The three of them turned the screen and saw that the door of the study was wide open, and Lu Chengfeng was sitting on the couch in the room. At this time, he was no longer dressed as a fisherman, wearing Confucian clothes, holding a white goose feather fan in his hand, and smiling and groaning.
Ling Muyun and Huang Rong went in and sat down, but Lu Guanying didn't dare to sit down, and stood aside and waited. Ling Muyun saw that the study room was full of dazzling, all poetry and classics, there were many bronze and jade objects on the table, it seemed to be all antiquities, and there was an ink painting hanging on the wall, which depicted a middle-aged scholar standing in the atrium on a moonlit night, pressing the hilt of the sword, looking up to the sky and shouting, looking lonely, the upper left corner was inscribed with Yue Fei's noun Xiaozhongshan, and the next paragraph was written "Graffiti in the Five Lakes Waste People Disease".
Ling Muyun knew that the waste people of the Five Lakes were Lu Chengfeng's self-name, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, to say that Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng and his wife were really evil, not only killing countless people, but also causing the same disciples and brothers to be expelled from the portal with broken legs, and they only looked forward to returning to the portal all their lives. This Lu Chengfeng is not bad, at least in his lifetime, he will return to Peach Blossom Island as he wishes, but the rest of Qu Lingfeng, Wu Mianfeng, Feng Mofeng and others are also able to fulfill their wishes.
Several people talked for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Lu Chengfeng ordered someone to arrange a wine banquet to entertain Ling Muyun and Huang Rong. After the wine feast, he returned to the study to sit down, and after talking for a while, Lu Chengfeng said: "It's not early, so Lu won't delay the two of you to rest." ”
Ling Muyun and Huang Rong stood up and said goodbye. Huang Rong was about to leave the room, suddenly looked up, and suddenly saw eight pieces of iron nailed on the lintel of the study, arranged in the shape of gossip, but not like the ordinary gossip so neatly arranged, sparse and sloppy, crooked and disproportionate, I couldn't help but be startled, stabbed Ling Muyun with his hand, signaling him to look up, Ling Muyun looked up at the lintel, put the iron gossip into his eyes, and immediately understood what Huang Rong meant, this iron gossip is a guy who practices splitting empty palms, and splitting empty palms is a unique skill of Peach Blossom Island, no wonder Huang Rong was surprised.
Ling Muyun naturally knew what was going on, but now was not the time to talk to Huang Rong in detail, he didn't say anything at the moment, just signaled Huang Rong with his eyes to calm down, Huang Rong understood what Ling Muyun meant, so he remained silent and followed Zhuang Ding to the guest room.
The rooms are elegantly furnished, with two beds facing each other and elegant pillows. After Zhuang Ding sent the fragrant tea, he said: "What do the two masters want, as soon as you pull the rope bell next to the bed, we will come over." Don't go out at night. With that, he withdrew and closed the door gently.
As soon as Zhuang Ding left, Huang Rong whispered to Ling Muyun: "Brother Yun, do you see if there is something strange about this place?" You see that the owner of the Lu Zhuang can't help but be pregnant with superior martial arts, and there is also an iron gossip in the study that practices splitting empty palms, do you know why he asked Zhuang Ding to tell us not to go out? That's because his Zhuangzi was built according to the technique of Qimen Bagua, and ordinary people who don't know this way enter his Zhuangzi, if there is no person who knows how to walk to lead, he will have to get lost. ”
Ling Muyun smiled slightly: "Rong'er, I think that this owner surnamed Lu can't have any relationship with your Peach Blossom Island!" ”
Huang Rong was originally a very smart person, but she just didn't think of this layer before, but now when she heard Ling Muyun say this, she thought of what she had experienced today, and nodded thoughtfully: "Brother Yun, you are right, this Lu Zhuang owner may really have something to do with Peach Blossom Island." ”
