Chapter 17 A Different Way
Yu Yao exclaimed: "I see! Uncle Wen and my father had a friendship when they were younger, and the two of them practiced martial arts, and they must have known each other's housekeeping skills. Just now I saw that the power of Liu's predecessor's dream palm power is extraordinary, even better than me, and I am ashamed that I failed to learn the kung fu taught by my father, it turned out to be improved by my predecessor. ”
Liu Ruyan smiled contemptuously and said, "What's more, the ancestral kung fu of the Wen family has been changed by me, and the power is far greater than before." The internal strength of the Wen family is the secret record of Yao Se, which has a total of 12 layers. It is not easy for ordinary people to practice to the eighth or ninth layer, but after our repeated study, we finally achieved great success and reached the realm of the twelfth layer, so Master Wen Zhuang has made great progress in his skills, and he has traveled thousands of miles a day. ”
Yu Yao said: "The seniors are very skilled, and they just competed with Wen Cang, and they also intended to try out the depth of his martial arts, and they did not do their best, so the juniors believe that the seniors are true." ”
After that, he said to Wen Cang: "Since Uncle Wen and Senior Liu have studied martial arts together and have achieved great success, how can they use their own children to refine the elixir?" I'm afraid that Uncle Tang has something to hide from us. ”
Youwei said: "What my brother said is good, the skin does not exist, and the hair will be attached?" The motive is gone, and the logic of the action is inexplicable. ”
Yu Yao said: "I've always been curious, but it's inconvenient to ask, but now it seems that I have to ask." How did you brothers and sisters find out that Master Wen had passed away and that someone was pretending to be him? ”
Wen Cang thought for a while and said, "It was Uncle Tang who revealed his flaws and was discovered by Dai'er. ”
Yu Yao said: "What if Uncle Tang deliberately shows his feet, so that you can find out and cause you to take revenge?" ”
Wen Cang suddenly realized: "In this way, it is not impossible to do this. ”
Youwei said: "No, I see Uncle Tang's words and deeds that day, it seems that he has a deep affection for Mrs. Wen, how can he lead you to harm Mrs. Wen?" ”
Liu Ruyan sneered, and said to Youwei seriously: "What kind of love do you know as a young girl? Do you know that love is hatred in the depths, and the deeper the love, the stronger the hatred. ”
Yu Yao said: "If you can't love it, it makes sense to hate from love." ”
Wen Cang said: "But if he is manipulating behind his back, how can he let us know the secret of the willow forest, isn't he afraid that someone will debunk him?" ”
Liu Ruyan said: "Except for Lord Wenzhuang, no one in the world knows that there is a living person here. ”
After saying that, he turned to Yu Yao and said: "Great talent, do you know "Endowed with Riverside Willows"? ”
Yu Yao said: "Of course I know." The emerald color is even the barren shore, and the smoke enters the distant building. The shadow paves the autumn water, and the flowers fall on the fisherman's head. The root is an old Tibetan fish cave, and the branches are low passenger boats. Xiao Xiao's stormy night, frightening dreams add to sorrow. This poem "Endowed with Riverside Willows" is a masterpiece of the late Tang Dynasty talented girl fish, and it is the best work in the poetry of Yongliu. ”
Liu Ruyan said: "Not bad. But you don't have a deeper reason for that. ”
Yu Yao said: "The juniors really don't know, please teach the seniors." ”
Liu Ruyan said: "When Yu Xuanji was eleven or twelve years old, she moved Chang'an with her poetry and literary talents, but her family was poor, and the mother and daughter made a living by washing and sewing for others all day long, and she never went to a serious school. Wen Tingyun, the ancestor of the Wen family, begged to see her and asked her to improvise a poem. At that time, she was washing clothes for people by the riverside, so she made this song "Endowed with Riverside Willows". Wen Tingjun was shocked that she had such a talent at such a young age, and since then she has taught her poetry without charging a penny. At the beginning of the establishment of Linglong Villa, Wen Tingyun carved out this piece of land on the mountain, specially planted willow trees, and also built a boat tie in the shade of the willows. It's a pity that the Yiren were long gone at that time, and they would never have been able to come here to see it. Lord Wen Zhuang took me back to Linglong Mountain, and secretly arranged for me to live here, in order to protect my reputation, his cronies did not know, let alone others? ”
Yu Yao secretly exclaimed: "The branch is a low passenger boat. Tie the boat to the small building, and get the implication that you want to keep your sweetheart by your side, which is really a good idea. ”
A gust of breeze came, Wen Cang stood in the wind, and the ancestor wandered alone in this willow forest in his mind, thinking about the encounter with the beautiful woman back then. Immediately, the style of painting changed abruptly, and it became that his father and this woman surnamed Liu were here to play the wind and the moon, chanting poetry and practicing martial arts.
Youwei said: "Then you have known and accompanied the owner of the old village for many years, why haven't you ever been pregnant?" ”
Liu Ruyan smiled bitterly: "At such a young age, you are the daughter of a famous family, so you naturally don't know what is going on in the secret." I was raised to pick up customers since I was a child, if I was pregnant, wouldn't the deal be impossible? So he was fed infertile medicine early in the morning, so that he would never have a child of his own for the rest of his life. Therefore I do not resent him for marrying someone else, and now I know that he has not abandoned me, and my wish has been fulfilled. ”
Youwei said again: "Since the old owner of Wen passed away ten years ago and never came back, how can you feed and dress these days?" ”
Liu Ruyan lamented: "Good boy, you are still worried about my livelihood...... Although I have been lonely since I was a child, and it has long become a habit to be alone, if I could have had a child back then, I am now as old as you. There are countless wild fruits in this Linglong Mountain, and there are secret passages in the small boat building to get out of the mountain, am I still afraid of starvation? ”
Youwei, Yu Yao, and Wen Cang couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard what she said.
Youwei said earnestly: "Ask the seniors to save you!" I have offended the people of the court, and now they have surrounded Linglong Mountain and vowed to arrest me. I don't know where the secret passage in the boat building leads? ”
Liu Ruyan said: "The exit on the other side of the secret road is on the official road outside the mountain, and you can go to Chang'an from the official road." ”
Youwei, Yu Yao, and Wen Cang were overjoyed, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Youwei said: "In this way, we will be saved!" ”
Wen Cang took a few steps forward, saluted Liu Ruyan deeply, and said respectfully: "Senior Liu, it was I who offended my predecessor abruptly. Now that you have an old relationship with your late father, you are my elder. Please also have a large amount of Wang Han, don't blame. ”
Liu Ruyan said: "Now that I see that the secret passage in the small building of my boat can solve your urgent needs, it has become so polite?" Rest assured, you will escape from the secret passage, and you will escape. For this girl's sake, I won't stop it. ”
Wen Cang said: "At present, the imperial court is besieging the mountain, and I don't know when it will be attacked, but there are still many old and weak women and children in my village, I am afraid that they will not escape their fate, and I also ask Senior Liu to see that he is getting acquainted with his father, and let them also leave from the secret passage." ”
Liu Ruyan said: "Okay, although your martial arts cultivation is still shallow, your heart is not bad, and it is not easy to have the opportunity to escape and think of others." I will accept you. ”
Wen Cang once again gave a deep salute and said, "Thank you for your kindness. ”
Youwei said: "Brother Wen, although Senior Liu failed to enter the door of the Wen family, he is also the beloved of the old owner of Wen during his lifetime. ”
Yu Yao whispered to Wen Cang: "Little sister is right. Didn't you have no little lady in your family? The right is regarded as repaying virtue with virtue. ”
Wen Cang replied in a low voice: "Xiao Niang was admitted to the door by my mother, and now that they are all gone, how can I be good at making claims?" ”
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan said with interest: "If you have no basis for speaking, you have no name and no share, and it is inconvenient to embarrass the juniors." Just call your aunt. ”
Yu Yao and Youwei saw that she was very sensible, and they also felt happy in their hearts, and they smiled unconsciously.
Wen Cang said respectfully: "Aunt Liu." ”
Liu Ruyan nodded, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Wen Cang said to Yu Yao again: "Brother Yu, Youwei is really not in danger for a long time, you can take her to leave the secret passage first." ”
Yu Yao said: "Then what should you do?" ”
Wen Cang said: "The ancestral foundation cannot be destroyed in my hands. I want to go back and take out the old and weak women and children one by one, send them to escape in the secret passage, and then take Bai Xi and them to fight to the death with the court. ”
Yu Yao said: "No! They can't find Youwei, they won't let go of Linglong Villa easily, and if you fight to the end, there is only one way to die. ”
Youwei said: "Brother is right. I caused this trouble, and I can't watch you go back and die. ”
Wen Cang said: "This disaster was caused by Dai'er, and I, as a brother, must clean up the mess for her." What's more, in the past hundred years, Linglong Villa has encountered strong enemies many times, all of them are bloody battles, and finally they can save the day, although I have no talent and no virtue, I can't compare with my ancestors and ancestors, I'm afraid I can't keep the family business again, but if I retreat from the battle, wouldn't it be in vain for the descendants of the Wen family? Moreover, I still have something to ask Uncle Tang to understand, and I can't help but go back. ”
Wen Cang said to Liu Ruyan: "Please also ask Aunt Liu to point out where the boat is located." ”
Liu Ruyan looked at the willow trees that had just been broken by her dream-shaking palm and said, "Follow this direction all the way, you will see a shallow stream, and then walk along the side of the stream for a while." ”
Wen Cangzuo said: "Aunt Lao Liu will bring the Yu family brothers and sisters over first, and I will bring the old and weak women and children of Linglong Villa later." ”
Without waiting for Yu Yao and Youwei to persuade again, Wen Cang said that he would perform light skills and take off.
"Brother Wen, no!"
Aunt Liu said: "Don't worry, when he comes again, I will knock him unconscious, and I will also let people carry him out of the secret passage." ”
Youwei smiled: "Senior Liu is willing to help, then it is very appropriate." ”
Youwei and Yu Yao followed Liu Ruyan to the depths of the willow forest.
Walking along the shallow stream, you can see a row of low balustrades surrounded by several groups of elegant and delicate pavilions.
Red columns, gray tops, slightly painted with colors.
On the far side, the long window falls to the ground, with a rolled-up bamboo curtain on top and a gooseneck chair looming below. The highest place adopts the style of rolling shed resting mountain, the eaves angle is light, and there are some hangings under the eaves.
When I got closer, the plaque was written by Wen Tingyun with the words "Tie the boat and build a small building".
A couplet next to it: The mountain and the moon don't know what's going on in their hearts, and the water and wind are empty and the flowers in front of them.
It turned out to be a sentence in Wen Tingyun's "Dream of Jiangnan".
Entering the small building of the boat, I saw that the furnishings and utensils were all exquisite, which was very different from the rough and heroic style in the Linglong Villa.
Liu Ruyan walked to a plain white porcelain bottle that was as smooth as jade, like ice and snow, and with a hard pull, a square hole appeared on the ground in an instant.
As far as the eye can see, there are steps in the cave that run down and are unfathomable.
