102. Under the Big Locust Tree (Upper)
Approaching dusk, Liu Hongzhi said to Li Danian: "We didn't do it, go and sit under the old locust tree in the south of the village for a while." ”
"Okay, let's go." Li Danian knew from Tian Taohua's mouth that Liu Hongzhi was the quasi-emperor, so he was particularly attentive to Liu Hongzhi, and cared for him like an adult caring for a child, ensuring that this quasi-emperor could kick the throne smoothly and not make any mistakes before kicking the throne.
Liu Hongzhi led Li Danian to the big locust tree in the south of the village, patted the body of the tree that the three of them couldn't hold, and asked Li Danian, "Do you know why I brought you under this tree?" ”
"I don't know!" Li Danian shook his head, where did he know this, he just said in his heart: "This is the history of the village, it's my business, I just need to watch you don't get beaten to death by others." ”
Liu Hongzhi said meaningfully: "This big locust tree, people call it the Three Heroes Acacia. Do you know why it's called Sanxia Huai? ”
Li Danian shook his head, looking at some big stones in front of the tree, the top of the stone was polished, and it looked like a place where people often chatted under the big tree. There were already a few people sitting under the tree chatting. Didn't care about their arrival.
Li Danian also found a stone to sit down, and Liu Hongzhi sat beside him and told him the origin of the Three Heroes Huai.
During the Warring States Period, there were three famous heroes in the sea who met under this locust tree.
According to legend, after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Dan, the crown prince of Yan State, found the famous swordsman Jing Ke and begged him to go to Xianyang to assassinate Qin Shi Huang and avenge Yan Guo, and the righteous Jing Ke agreed.
But Jing Ke knew that Qin Shi Huang was very powerful, and there were so many guards in the Jinluan Palace, how could he go alone? You have to find a helper to be sure. So who should he turn to for help? Jing Ke thought about it, and then thought that there was an apprentice named Gai Nie under the Shikong Hero in Peach Blossom Village, Zhongdu County.
Shikong heroes have superb martial arts and are famous in the Seven Kingdoms. This apprentice of his is even more remarkable, and his reputation is no less than that of his master. Gai Nie is also a native of Peach Blossom Village. Jing Ke thought of this, so he said goodbye to Prince Dan, and traveled thousands of miles from Yan to Zhongdu County in Zhao to visit the hero Gai Nie.
Jing Ke came to Nie Gai's house in Peach Blossom Village, and heard from his family that Gai Nie went to the south of the village under the big locust tree and practiced martial arts with his junior brother Qin Wuyang.
Jing Ke hurried to the south of the village. I saw Nie Gai and the two of them sitting under a big locust tree and meditating with their eyes closed.
Jing Ke knew that they were practicing Jinggong. Jing Ke waited beside him for a while, but still didn't see the two of them open their eyes. He was a little impatient, so he stepped forward and said, "The country is dying, how can you still have the heart to sit quietly......
Qin Wuyang opened his eyes and glanced at Jing Ke. But Gai Nie didn't open his eyes, and he still practiced wholeheartedly. Qin Wuyang saw that his senior brother didn't open his eyes, so he quickly closed his eyes.
Jing Ke said again: "Shikong Daxia is a hero of the world, how can his apprentice know to close his eyes and meditate, are you monks?" ”
Gai Nie opened his eyes slightly, and glanced at Jing Ke. Qin Wuyang jumped up and said loudly: "Where did the madman come from, and he dared to laugh at our brothers? You are so bold, you don't inquire, the disciple of the dignified Shikong Hero is also a disciple you can comment casually? ”
Jing Ke sneered: "I want to see your skills!" ”
Qin Wuyang said: "Then offend!" ”
So, the two of them started to work under the big locust tree. But you go back and forth for more than a dozen rounds without winning or losing. At this time, Gai Nie stood up, stretched out his hand, and separated the two of them with only one block.
Jing Ke arched his hand to Gai Nie and said, "I have heard for a long time that Gai Nie is a great knight, and he came to visit Jing Kete from thousands of miles away. ”
Gai Nie glanced at Jing Ke again, but still didn't say anything.
