Chapter Seventy-Seven: This Sword Turns Out to Have a Great Origin
Chu madman shouted at Feng'er on the opposite cliff, and Feng'er approached the dead tree pole that built a bridge between the two cliffs, and tried to step on it with his right foot, only to see the sawdust falling down, and it was already rotten and could not bear the weight. Unless you are as light as a swallow and have the kung fu to step on the snow without a trace, you will fall off the cliff and break your bones. There is no way to jump over a deep valley that is more than three feet wide.
Feng'er was at a loss for words, and couldn't think of a way to cross the deep valley. Suddenly, the madman on the other side shouted:
"Hanako, catch it!"
When the wind looked up, a rope fluttered. Feng'er reached out and grabbed the head tied around his waist, and the head was held in the hands of the Chu madman.
The Chu madman shouted again: "Lift your breath to your chest, hold your breath, step on the tree trunk, go!"
Feng'er listened to the command of the Chu madman, operated his body, and stepped on the dead tree. I didn't want to be as light as a swallow, so I took a few steps to the opposite side.
Feng'er let out a long breath, as if in a dream. He didn't dare to think about how he got here, he didn't realize that he still had this skill before.
Madman Chu laughed and said, "I don't want you to have such a deep foundation, it's rare." ”
Feng'er clenched his fists and saluted, saying:
"Xiaohuazi disturbs late at night, how disrespectful, and I hope that the old man Haihan!"
Madman Chu smiled: "It's the old man who asked you to come, don't stick to vulgar etiquette." Somehow late?"
Feng'er told him what happened when he went the wrong way, recognized the wrong person, and what happened.
Madman Chu shook his head after hearing this, and even said a few words of pity.
Feng'er was puzzled and hurriedly asked:
"What's the matter with what the old man said about pity?"
The madman Chu sighed and said, "You don't know, that monster is my fellow senior brother, and we will learn the art of the Hanshan Immortal Ancestor together." He was gentle by nature and learned herbs and fuqin, while I was reckless by nature and learned swords. My senior brother has a Yaoqin, which can kill the enemy invisibly, noisy and noisy like an ambush on all sides, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, it will also let it mess up its heart rhythm and die, except for him, there is nothing else, and I can't understand one or two. My senior brother is known as the Qin Saint Maniac, has a withdrawn personality, likes to live in an elegant place, and never asks about the world's miscellaneous things. Isn't it a pity that you have the chance to meet him, and he wants to teach you the art of the piano, but you turn it down? Even if you look back now, you will never find any trace of him, and he will not let the same stranger see him twice. Fortunately, you drank the herbs he concocted, which should have improved your strength for ten years. Alas, I'm afraid that there is no successor to my master's piano skills. What he gave you just now was not tea, it was a potion made by him with thousand-year-old herbs, and after drinking it, it will improve your skills for at least ten years. It's your fate. ”
Feng'er was dumbfounded when she heard it, she couldn't imagine that an old man who stroked the piano would have such kung fu, no wonder since drinking herbal tea, his eyes were bright, his abdomen was hot, and his body was as light as a swallow.
The madman Chu said again: "Follow me to the cave and then reason." ”
Feng'er followed the madman Chu to a small cave, and the light in the cave was like a bean. The hole is not too big, and the furnishings inside are extremely shabby, except for a few tattered clothes and bowls, there is almost nothing else.
The madman Chu let Feng'er sit down, took out the Longxiang sword, and asked:
"Do you know the name of this sword, and where does it come from?"
Feng'er said: "The hilt of this sword has the word Longxiang, which must be its name." As for the source, forgive Xiaohuazi for being ignorant, and hope that the old man will give me some advice. ”
The Chu madman asked again, "Where did you get this sword?"
Feng'er introduced in detail how he met Uncle Li Bu, how Uncle Li got this sword, and how he gave it away.
Madman Chu said: "According to what my master said before, this sword has a great origin, and let me explain it to you." ”
In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jurchens repeatedly violated our borders, harassed our people, burned, killed, and abducted. The Northern Song Dynasty court was extremely distressed and repeatedly sent troops to pacify. However, the Jurchen horses were fierce and strong, and the Northern Song Dynasty military horses were a little powerless to calm down, and they suffered a lot of defeats.
There is a swordsmith named Zhang Jian in Jingdong, looking for famous mountains and rivers, mining all kinds of strange stones, refining steel, after more than 50 years of father and son, forging a male and female double sword, called Dragon Xiang Phoenix Dance. Long Xiang is three feet three inches long and two inches wide. The phoenix dance is two feet eight inches long and one inch eight inches wide.
In the first year of Jingkang, the Jurchen army captured Bianjing and captured the second emperor of Huiqin.
Later, King Kang of the mud horse, Zhao Gou of the Song Gaozong favored Hangzhou, sang and danced, drunk and dreamed, completely ignoring the life and death of the people in the north.
Yue Fei led his troops to resist Jin, repeatedly achieved results, and recovered a large amount of lost territory.
At this time, Zhang Jian's son, Zhang Qiang, dedicated the male and female swords to the famous anti-gold general Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu and his wife.
Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu got this sword like a tiger with wings, and they were once invincible, and the classic battle was that Huang Tiandang besieged the Jin soldiers and 100,000 troops with 8,000 Song troops for 48 days. Liang Hongyu beat the drum to fight Jinshan and played the majesty of the Song Dynasty.
After the Battle of Huang Tiandang, Liang Hongyu died on the battlefield.
The Southern Song Dynasty court coveted power and enjoyment, listened to the words of Qin Hui and other traitorous ministers, and advocated peace. "The secretary has a party row Zongze, and no one uses Yue Fei. "Twelve gold medals a day, Yue flew back to Beijing. Yue Fei was imprisoned on trumped-up charges, and there was an unjust case in the Storm Pavilion. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, no one spoke for Yue Fei, "The princes are lamentable and good at scheming, and they misled the country at that time." ”
Since then, the great cause of resisting gold has been in a downturn, and within a few years, Han Shizhong died of illness. The dragon and phoenix dance, the male and female swords, and the sword are gone.
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongol iron cavalry invaded the Central Plains, besieged the city and trapped the pond, and seized a large area of the Song Dynasty's territory. In the Battle of Yashan, the minister Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the eight-year-old little emperor on his back, and the Southern Song Dynasty was declared extinct.
Although the Song Dynasty fell, the anti-Yuan forces of the people were still rising one after another. At this time, the dragon and phoenix dance double swords reappeared in the rivers and lakes. Its owners were replaced by Xue Rui and Chang Baoying. They are a pair of brothers and sisters, and they are also the leaders of the anti-Yuan forces.
In the past few years, the two have fought hundreds of battles, large and small, and have dealt a powerful blow to the ruling forces of the Yuan Dynasty and are deeply loved by the people.
In the end, the Mongols mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to form a siege, and the anti-Yuan army was annihilated, and Xue Rui and Chang Baoying did not know what to do. The dragon and phoenix dance sword also disappeared.
The madman Chu chattered for a long time, and Feng'er finally figured out the life experience of the sword, and there was a sense of solemnity in his heart.
Feng'er said: "This sword has a great origin, how can Xiaohuazi be deserved? ”
Chu Madman said with a smile: "There are things that have their own masters, I hope this sword can play its due role in your hands, and now the old man will teach you a set of rare swordsmanship, which will be invincible in the world in the future." ”
When Feng'er heard this, she hurriedly knelt on her knees and said:
"Master is above, please be bowed by the disciple!"
