Chapter 53: The Dugu Treasure Blade Flies Cold
After Yue Lingfeng and Liu Jing left Hengyang, they took a boat along the Xiangjiang River to the north. Liu Jing left home for the first time when she was so old, and she still had to go to a place thousands of miles away, and the feeling of anxiety and longing for her family can be imagined. Yue Lingfeng wanted to relieve her depression, and he was not in a hurry anyway, so he took her all the way to the mountains and rivers. In early spring, it is the time when the southern grass grows and the warbler flies, and the scenery along the way is pleasant, especially when the boat enters Dongting Lake, the beautiful lake and mountains finally make Liu Jing's mood better.
When Yue Lingfeng and the 6 Great You and Gao Genming arrived at Dongting Lake before, they were in a hurry and did not visit carefully. Now that the beauty is on the side, he can't help but be excited, and decided to take Liu Jing to Junshan Haosheng in the lake for a visit.
The most famous scenery in Dongting Lake is Junshan Mountain. Junshan is a lonely island on Dongting Lake, with 72 large and small peaks on the island. Junshan was formerly known as Dongting Mountain, which means fairy cave. Legend has it that 4,000 years ago, Emperor Shun toured the south, and his two concubines, Empress E and Nuying, couldn't catch up, and Panzhu cried bitterly, and tears dripped on the bamboo, turning into spotted bamboo. Later, the two concubines died on the mountain, and the descendants built the tomb of the two concubines. The two are also called Concubine Xiang and Concubine Xiang, and in order to commemorate Xiangjun, Dongting Mountain was changed to Jun Mountain.
Yue Lingfeng and the others stayed in Junshan for two days, and visited the tomb of the second concubine, the Xiangfei Temple, Liu Yijing, Feilai Bell and other scenery along the way. The bamboo of Junshan is very famous, Yue Lingfeng on a whim, carefully selected a few good Xiangfei bamboos, took care of several sections of bamboo, drilled and tuned them by hand, and made a bamboo flute to give to Liu Jing. Liu Jing was very happy to see that Ai Lang was so considerate, and the already small sorrow had gradually been replaced by a beautiful expectation for the future.
After leaving Junshan, the two continued to sail north. Enjoying the scenery of Dongting during the day, playing the piano and flute at night, I am so happy. Liu Jingde is the true inheritance of his father, and his flute skills are also profound. With her on the side, Yue Lingfeng's flute skills are getting more and more perfect. When the boat sailed to Yueyang, Yue Lingfeng was already able to fluently play the song "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
When they arrived in Yueyang, the two went ashore to rest for two days. Yue Lingfeng has come to Yueyang for the third time, and he is familiar with the road and takes Liu Jing on a good tour. On the third day, the two rented another big boat by the Yangtze River. This time, Yue Lingfeng did not choose to go to Jingzhou against the current, but went down the river and along the east of the river.
Liu Jing came to the Yangtze River for the first time in her life, and looked at the turbulent river rolling eastward, and couldn't help but feel happy and threw away that bit of parting. Liu Jing's favorite thing these days is to play "Guangling San" on the bow of the boat with the surging river. The score of this "Guangling San" was given to the two of them by Qu Yang together with "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
A few days later, the ship arrived in Wuchang. Yue Lingfeng is also the first time to Wuchang, since he has arrived in Wuchang, he can't help but eat the world-famous Wuchang fish.
Walking on the bustling street, Liu Jing asked casually: "Brother Feng, since you want to eat Wuchang fish, do you know which store's Wuchang fish is the most authentic and delicious?"
Yue Lingfeng gently tapped his head with his hand, and said jokingly: "I don't know which one is the most authentic, but I know which one is the most famous, so I just go to that one!" ”
"The most famous?" Liu Jing's eyes lit up: "Yellow Crane Tower? ”
Yue Lingfeng patted the palm of his left hand with a hole flute in his right hand and smiled: "Yes, Jing'er is really smart. Saying that, like a scholar on the stage, he shook his sleeves and bent over to make a gesture, and said: "Xiaosheng has the courage to invite the girl to the Yellow Crane Tower and taste Wuchang fish together, I don't know if the girl is willing to appreciate the light?" ”。
Liu Jing has been by his side since he left his parents these days, and he has long been accustomed to his laughter from time to time. Aside from the identity of the eldest lady of the Liu family, she is just a sixteen-year-old girl, and she is the age when she loves to play, and she feels that it is not interesting to laugh and laugh with her lover. So she bent her knees slightly, and said with a thousand blessings: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and the little girl will thank her son." As soon as he finished speaking, he "giggled" and laughed.
In this way, the two went to the Yellow Crane Tower, while enjoying the beautiful scenery of "the lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is exhausted, and only the Yangtze River skyline is seen", while tasting the fresh and fatty Wuchang fish. Although both of them only dress normally, the man is tall and handsome, and has an elegant temperament; The woman is beautiful and dignified, down-to-earth and generous, after all, it is still eye-catching, and the diners upstairs secretly praise it in their hearts: what a couple. If it weren't for the two long swords on the table, I would have thought that it was the son of a family who was traveling with the United States.
After resting in the city of Wuchang for one night, they crossed the Yangtze River north to Hankou early the next morning. Here, Yue Lingfeng bought a carriage, and Liu Jing sat in the carriage by himself, and the two stayed overnight all the way, and arrived in Xiangyang through Suizhou through Xiaogan in more than 20 days.
Xiangyang is a special place for Jin Yong's martial arts fans, this is not only the burial place where Guo Jing and Huang Rong were martyred, but also a valley near Xiangyang is also a retreat for the top master Dugu to seek defeat. Yue Lingfeng obtained the "Heavy Sword Sword Technique" from the ancient tomb, and its prologue not only recorded the origin of this sword technique, but also mentioned the valley where Dugu sought defeat and lived in seclusion.
Dugu seeks defeat, although he does not appear in Jin Yong's novel, but his two next-generation heirs, Yang Guo and Ling Huchong, shine in the book.
Now that you've arrived in Xiangyang, why don't you visit this holy place!
Yue Lingfeng stored the carriage and luggage in an inn in Xiangyang City. Thinking of the valley where Dugu sought defeat and seclusion, there were many poisonous snakes in the era of the Condor Heroes, and for the sake of caution, he also went to the pharmacy to dispense some drugs to repel insects and snakes, and brought them to Liu Jing and himself. Then they went to the carriage and horse dealership, rented horses, and galloped to the valley.
About half a day out of the city, two bikes into a deep valley. The mountain road was steep, and the two had to abandon their horses and walk, but fortunately, they were both sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes with martial arts, and it was not difficult. After a long walk, I finally found the big cave that was quite hidden. The cave looked dark and swarthy, and the two of them carefully walked into the cave, and they had reached the end of the cave except for a stone table and a stone bench.
This must be the place! Yue Lingfeng and Liu Jing looked at each other and smiled, after all, their efforts were not in vain.
Yue Lingfeng saw that there was a pile of rocks rising up in the corner of the cave, which looked like a tomb, and he couldn't help but be excited in his heart, and thought: "This should be the place where Dugu seeks defeat and buries his bones." When he looked up, he saw that the walls of the cave were covered with dust and moss, and he could not see clearly in the darkness. He found a dead branch outside the cave to make a torch, took out a fire fold, lit it, and lit it.
Stretching out his hand to wipe the moss growing on the cave wall, he saw three lines of characters appear on the cave wall on one side, the handwriting is very thin, and the stone is very deep, which is obviously drawn with a very sharp blade. Look at the three lines of words: "For more than 30 years, I have killed all the enemies and traitors, defeated all the heroes and heroes, and there is no resistance in the world, and there is nothing to do, but to live in seclusion in the deep valley and take the eagle as a friend." Woohoo, I can't get an opponent in my life, and I'm embarrassed to be lonely. The following inscription is: "The sword demon is lonely and seeks defeat." ”
The handwriting on the wall of the cave is extremely old, but through the handwriting, you can still feel the momentum of the heroes in the world and the heroes of the world, and the wild pride of crisscrossing the rivers and lakes but seeking defeat.
Liu Jing sighed faintly: "Brother Feng, this is the tomb of the Dugu senior you said?" On the way here, Yue Lingfeng and Liu Jing told the story of Dugu's life, and the origin could not be described in detail, only that he was a martial arts senior who had a relationship with the Huashan faction.
Yue Lingfeng also sighed: "Yes, it's here!" A generation of strange people who seek defeat alone is sleeping here. ”
The two took off the burden on their backs and took out incense, candles, fruit offerings, guqin, and other things. Liu Jing helped to arrange the incense candles and fruit offerings in front of Dugu's tomb, and the two of them burned incense and worshiped Dugu's defeat. Then the ensemble played a song here to express the admiration and nostalgia for the predecessors in my heart.
After worshipping, Yue Lingfeng took Liu Jing and walked in the direction of the legendary sword mound. Along the way, the trees are verdant, the mountain atmosphere is clear, the two walked to enjoy the scenery, walked Lixu, and came to a cliff. The cliff is like a huge screen, rising to the sky, the middle of the cliff is about 20 zhang from the ground, protruding a big stone of three or four zhang square, it is like a platform, and the stone edge is faintly carved with words. Looking upward, it is faintly visible that there are two big characters of "sword mound".
The two approached the cliff and saw that the grass and trees on the stone wall were not growing, and there was no place for siblings at all.
Liu Jing looked at the cliff and smacked her tongue: "Brother Feng, it's so high, can we go up like this?" ”
Yue Lingfeng looked at it intently for a while, and suddenly saw that there were clumps of moss growing on the cliff every few feet, and dozens of clumps were arranged straight up, which was very strange. He jumped up, reached out to the lowest clump of moss to touch, grabbed out a handful of black mud, sure enough, it was a small cave, it was expected to be Dugu seeking defeat or others digging with sharp weapons back then, the years were deep, the hole accumulated mud, so there was moss.
Yue Lingfeng smiled proudly: "Jing'er, don't be afraid, what's so difficult about this, look at me." ”
As he spoke, he put his arm around Liu Jing's slender waist with one hand, took a breath, jumped up to a height of more than three zhang, stepped into the first small hole with his left foot, followed by the jump, and kicked in with his right foot aimed at the second bush of moss, the soft mud burst out, and there was indeed a small hole in the stone wall that could accommodate his feet. So reciprocating, he easily jumped onto the platform.
Before Liu Jing's surprise faded, she had already stepped on the high platform, and when she looked out, the height made her gasp. Immediately thinking that Yue Lingfeng easily took himself here, he couldn't help but look at his lover with admiration in his eyes.
And Yue Lingfeng was carefully inspecting all parts of the stage at this time. Seeing that next to the two big characters of "Sword Shrine" on the big stone, there are still two lines of stone carvings with smaller fonts: "The sword demon is invincible in the world and is invincible in the world, but buries the sword in Si." Alack! The heroes are bowing down, the long sword is empty, and the husband is sad! "Sure enough, it's exactly what the book says.
Yue Lingfeng removed the stone block on the mound under Liu Jing's curious gaze, revealing a long sword, and next to this long sword, there was another long stone piece. The sword and stone flakes are juxtaposed on a large piece of bluestone.
Yue Lingfeng lifted the long sword, and saw two lines of small characters engraved on the stone under the sword: "Fierce and strong, indestructible, and the weak crown is used to compete with the heroes of Heshuo." ”
Looking at the sword again, I saw that the wood on the hilt of the sword had long been decayed, and the copper gauntlet was full of patina, but the sword body about four feet long was still green and shining, the pattern was like flowing water, its light was like a row of stars, and its glory was like an overflow pond of water.
Yue Lingfeng held the long sword and slashed at the stones on the ground. Just listen to "snort~~~!" With a bang, a stone the size of a watermelon was cut in half, and the cut surface was as smooth as a mirror! Liu Jing's heart sank, this sword is really fierce and indestructible!
There are also two lines of small characters engraved on the bluestone under the stone chips next to it: "Ziwei soft sword, used before the age of thirty, accidentally injured the righteous is ominous, remorseful, and abandoned in the deep valley." ”
The stone carving next to it is: "The heavy sword has no edge, and the great ingenuity is not worked." Before the age of forty, he was rampant in the world. ”
The bluestone slab on the far left is still engraved with two lines of small characters: "After the age of forty, do not stay in things, grass, trees, bamboo and stone can be used as swords." Since then, he has been refined, gradually moving to the realm of no sword is better than a sword. ”
Liu Jing has seen these stone carvings in turn, although she is not high in skill and her martial arts are mediocre, but she is still amazed by the strength revealed by these stone carvings: "This Dugu senior is extremely talented and has extremely high qualifications, and his divine skills are even more unimaginable." What a high-ranking guest! ”
Yue Lingfeng said with emotion: "The martial arts realm of Dugu's predecessor is a model for my generation!" ”
Then, he knelt down at the sword mound and said: "Senior Dugu, you have a spirit in the sky, and you must not want the sword to be dusty and silent forever." Today, there is a junior Huashan Yue Lingfeng, please bring the sword out of the valley, and the younger generation promises that it will not disgrace the sword, nor will it fall into your prestige. ”
After bowing three times, Yue Lingfeng wrapped the long sword in the sword mound with a furoshiki and inserted it into his waist. Then he hugged Liu Jing and got off the sword mound along the cliff, and returned to Xiangyang City without stopping all the way.
