Chapter II: Multiple Identities
In the middle of the night, deep in the peach forest on the mountain, a door knock woke up the originally peaceful peach forest secret realm.
"You're back, how are things going?" An old man with gray hair turned on an oil lamp on his bed
"Master's will, the matter has been done, but ......," the young man knelt down and clenched his fists and said
"But what?"
"Master, that Wudang Bi Linfu is too difficult, it took me a lot of time, and the second task that the master assigned to the apprentice I did not complete," the young man said euphemistically
"It's placed, you have a few catties and a few taels as a teacher, you know that this is your first time out of the school, it is already very good to be able to take down Bi Fulin in such a short time, your comprehension ability is already weak, just redouble your efforts the day after tomorrow, then Yi Chuyun don't have to worry, I'm afraid that now the soul has returned to the West Heaven" The old man preached carefully
"Master, why do you say this" Isn't this mission only known to him and his master? He was entangled by Na Bi Linfu, how could he have the opportunity to kill Na Yi Chuyun, I am afraid that there are other people, it is not difficult for the young man to be puzzled.
"Alright, go to sleep, you're tired too," the old man waved to the boy and told him to leave
"Master, but ......" The young man was puzzled and refused to leave
"Get out!" Seeing this, the old man scolded loudly, maybe he remembered that there were too many things for the young man, or maybe he didn't want the young man to know too many things, and he was too irritable.
"Yes, the master apprentice retired" The young man had to leave aggrieved
Late at night, a slight warm breeze accompanied by the fragrance of peach blossoms blew through the dilapidated window to the boy beside the bed, at this time the boy had not yet fallen asleep, his eyes were still so bright, but mixed with a trace of tears, some of the past began to recall over and over again in his mind, whenever he would be like this in the dead of night.
The young man's original name was Ling Chengfeng, born in Wudang, Wudang Ling's family, is the only son of Ling Chengfeng, the head of Wudang, and He Sanniang, the village aunt of Muyun Village under Wudang Mountain, when Ling Chengfeng was three years old, the Japanese invaded Jinming, and the coastal villages were looted by the Japanese people, Ling Chengfeng's mother was taken away by the Japanese people in order to save her child, and at that time Wudang was in line with the non-Jianghu things and didn't care, Ling Zicheng stood on the mountain and watched the Japanese people sack the village, until the village was looted, he ran to the village, hugged his wife and cried, And his own children are also missing, and he has been using the position of the head of Wudang to search for his children everywhere over the years.
But Ling Chengfeng didn't know his true identity, his memory was only limited to the age of eight, and he only knew it that year, and he only remembered that he was a child picked up by a beggar, that is, the beggar gang at that time.
At that time, after the group of widows ransacked the village, they were assaulted by the beggar gang on the way back, and in the fight, the beggar gang leader Hongqi desperately saved the child, and he was seriously injured, and his life was in danger, and when he was dying, he handed over the jasper dog beating stick of the beggar gang leader to the child, and asked the beggar gang brothers to take good care of the child, Ling Chengfeng was only three years old at that time, but in fact he was already the nominal beggar gang leader.
At the age of eight, Ling Chengfeng only started to be the governor, much slower than his life, and the beggars tried to teach him martial arts, but his comprehension was too poor to teach him, but his begging ability was very good, so he simply let him beg.
It wasn't until he was eighteen years old that Ling Chengfeng met an old man, and that old man was his current master, called Mingying Jushi.
That day, the sky was slightly dark, the moonlight had just begun to emerge, Ling Chengfeng, who had come back from begging, passed by the grove he often walked through, and suddenly he found that there were people not far in front of him, and there were many people, and he could hear the sound of wow-wow-wow, Ling Chengfeng was also in line with his eccentric character, chopping forward in small steps, hiding next to a bush, and watching quietly.
"You old thing, you dare to kill our master, I'm afraid you don't know who we are anymore," eight or nine people shouted around an old man
"Humph! Who doesn't know that you are the lackeys of the Tianshan faction, and you are afraid that others will know about your little things! The old man sneered
"Yes, yes! We are the lackeys of the Tianshan faction, but what can you do with me, hahaha, just by yourself, you can't do it yourself! ”
"Humph! Don't you know how to respect the elderly? The old man replied indifferently, "Oh, no, you are lackeys, you should not understand"
"Kill him!" One of them lifted a spear and stabbed at the old man, and the rest of them stabbed at the old man, who knew that the old man jumped and sent out ten silver needles from his sleeve, and the eight or nine people were all hit and fell to the ground, and they were killed, Ling Chengfeng looked very exciting, and he also fantasized that it would be good if he could do this.
"The little brother in the woods behind, isn't it good-looking!" Who knew that the old man had already discovered Ling Chengfeng's traces
Ling Chengfeng looked shocked, so he had to come out stupidly, and hurriedly apologized to the old man and begged him not to kill himself, but the old man was also surprised by what he looked like and laughed
"Boy, you saw it all just now."
Ling Chengfeng nodded
"Tomorrow, take your letter of introduction to admire the peach blossom forest in the famous mountain, I still lack a student, but the premise is that you can cook, remember to come" The old man raised his sleeves and left after speaking, and Ling Chengfeng still didn't quite understand what he meant, thought for a while, and then hurriedly returned to the beggar gang.
The next day, Ling Chengfeng led several of his uncles in the beggar gang to go up to the peach blossom forest of the famous mountain, this peach blossom forest is an extremely secret place, in order to find this place, the beggar gang used a lot of manpower to find it, and his uncles listened to his story and agreed that this person is definitely a peerless master, the reason is this: it is secret enough, and the general peerless masters are like this. Old, experienced.
Walking through the peach forest, there was nothing in front of him, there was just a small dilapidated house, there seemed to be only two rooms, and the windows were also dilapidated and dilapidated, but Ling Chengfeng was very satisfied, and his uncles were also very satisfied, because the place where they lived was much worse than this.
In front of the house, an old man was leisurely drinking tea, but he actually knew that the young man was coming
"You're coming," the old man looked at them, "oh, you're not alone?" I also brought a few old flowers, is it possible that you are also a little flower"
The second uncle can't stand people calling them like this, but they are also the second largest faction in the world, he just wanted to do it, but the master uncle stopped him, after all, their nephew came to apprentice, not to mention that this person is really a master like Zicheng, they can't beat it, and the eighteen palms left by the former leader of the beggar gang are only one or two.
Ling Chengfeng hurriedly stepped forward to ask for a salute, "Old man, please don't blame me, I'm a little Hanako, but we should be treated equally."
"Good sentence of equal treatment, boy, you should know that the rivers and lakes are sinister, what kind of equality will there be?" The old man laughed
"The old man laughed, the affairs of the rivers and lakes have their own people to solve them, but how do you think they are all laymen?" Ling Chengfeng replied calmly
"Good boy, there's something, you, I'll take it" The old man straightened his white beard and said, "Oh, and, do you know how to cook?"
"Yes, he absolutely will, the food he cooks, first-class!" Uncle Master hurriedly stepped forward and said
"Okay, bring the letter of introduction," the old man laughed
"A letter of introduction?" Uncles, look at me, I'll look at you, I don't know what the old man means
"Old man, does the beggar gang leader count?" Uncle Master stepped forward and said euphemistically
"Beggar gang leader? Martial arts people? I can't take it! The old man suddenly became serious
Uncle Master realized that the situation was not good, and motioned to the second uncle to break up Ling Chengfeng, and talked to the old man alone, only to see Uncle Master take out a letter with blood stains from his chest and hand it to the old man, the old man opened it and looked shocked, carefully put it away, and respectfully respected Uncle Master, and the two talked for a long time.
By the time Ling Chengfeng was called back, the old man had already become his master, Ling Chengfeng didn't quite understand it, maybe at that moment he had some doubts about his identity.
