Chapter 20 The Scattered People of the East China Sea
Dongting Lake, known as Yunmeng Guze in the ancestors, is the legendary "Immortal Cave Mansion". This is the largest lake in the whole of China, known as the "Eight Hundred Miles of Dongting". It is located on the south bank of the Jingjiang River in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, spanning Yueyang, Miluo, Xiangyin, Wangcheng, Yiyang, Yuanjiang, Hanshou, Changde, Jinshi, Anxiang and Nanxian cities. The name of Dongting Lake began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was named after Dongting Mountain, the most mythical mountain in the lake, and has been used to this day.
"Fang Lin is lonely and sorrowful?
Looking at the broken place of the full court incense, it is not as good as the Hunan girl's green marks. ”
A low-key but luxurious wooden boat carried more than a dozen sturdy men through Junshan, and a handsome Taoist in a blue and white robe saw the bamboo forests on the island, dense, tough and upright. The fragrance of the emerald green leaves is overflowing, and the upright branches are dotted with tears, some are purple, some are snow-white, and there are blood-red blood-red, which is the famous "Xiangfei bamboo". In the past, Empress E and Nuying learned of Emperor Shun's death, and hugged their heads and cried. I cried for nine days and nine nights, my eyes were swollen from crying, my throat was hoarse, and my tears were dry. After the most lu, crying blood and tears, sprinkled on the bamboo mountain of Junshan, the bamboo pole formed spots, so it is also called "tear bamboo".
"The military advisor is really talented, such a poem, the big festival is ashamed. ”
Ji Bo's thoughts about "Xiangfei Bamboo" surged, and he unconsciously read out a poem, which made a cloth-clothed staff member who followed him hear it, and suddenly felt that the artistic conception was far-reaching.
"Mr. Wang Zuo is polite, this is Xiao Daoer, in today's world, the art of killing is the king. ”
When he said this, the expression on Ji Game's face was very flat, which made Wang Zuogan on the side laugh twice.
Before the recovery of Xiangyang, Yue Fei had not yet served as a high-ranking official such as the envoy of the system, the envoy of recruitment, and the envoy of Xuanfu, and he could not independently open the government to recruit staff, so the staff team under him was basically cloth-based. As the saying goes, there are two or three big cats and small kittens, although there are a lot of them, but the impact on the Yue family army is not great.
This is also one of the reasons why Ji Game was able to quickly occupy a high position in the staff team after he was worshiped as a military advisor, and there are no talents. After being promoted, Yue Fei already had the power to arrange his staff, and with the six counties of Xiangyang and Wuchang as the garrison of Yue's army, the need for staff suddenly increased. In addition to personally going out and inviting some reclusive masters, Corporal Lixian turned a few capable generals into civilian positions.
After a few days of observation, Ji Bo took Wang Zuo, Yan Zhiyao and Wu Shizhong to Dongting Lake. Wang Zuo, a native of Sichuan, is an excellent lobbyist and spy, and his courage is quite good, and he once mixed him into the palace of Liu Lin, the pseudo-prince of Qi, and became a subordinate of the prince. Got the detailed news of the Jin and Qi coalition forces, and was one of the heroes who Yue Fei was able to defeat the opponent's 300,000-strong army in one fell swoop in the Battle of Xianghan.
Yan Zhiyao and Wu Shizhong are both scholars who have fallen behind, and they admire Yue Fei's name and voluntarily come to vote, but they were limited to Yue Fei's subordinates in the past and did not have many things to deal with, so their talents have not been revealed. Among the two, the former is resolute, while the latter is delicate, according to Ji Game's observation, there is still a lot of work.
Dealing with Yang Qi this time is a major event that lays the foundation for the development of the Yue family army in the next few years, Yue Fei can't be said to be unimportant, he originally wanted Ji Yi to pick a dozen or twenty people to do it, but who knew that only these three people could enter his eyes when he picked and picked. Of course, that's not what he said on the surface, it was too offensive, he said "these three people are enough".
Now the first target of the three of them is Yang Qin, who is known for his bravery. Although Yang Qi claimed to be an army of hundreds of thousands, the water villages under his command fought separately, and less than 100,000 obeyed his orders. This situation is the easiest to implement a division and rebellion, Yang Qinnai is a famous general among the Dongting Lake anti-thieves, and his attitude is not easy to subdue, Yang Qi values him and sends him to guard in the outermost outer. It can be said that as long as Yang Qin surrenders, then the wall protecting Yang Qi will collapse by more than half.
"Strategist, look, it's a water thief!"
Suddenly, Wu Shizhong said a word, and saw a big boat come out at the corner of the waterway in front of him, and several people with thin faces and fierce eyes holding weapons of different styles were arrogant.
"Don't be afraid, it's a big deal to kill them all!"
Ji Game's indifferent tone calmed down the people present, and now there were fifteen elite soldiers on their ship, plus he, a master, killing more than twenty undernourished water thieves on the opposite side was just a gesture.
Obviously, those water thieves also noticed Ji Bo and his party, and when they saw that the few people standing at the bow of the boat were weak scholars, they suddenly became bold and rushed towards here. When they got closer, Ji Bo faintly smelled blood. There were still undried blood stains on the unsheathed swords in their hands, indicating that they had just done a vote.
frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, this kind of thief who only knows how to rob ordinary people is sometimes more harmful than the Jin people.
Just as the dozen or so thieves were clamoring for them to stop the ship, the sound of a desolate and mournful harp sounded, and in the sound of the harp, everyone could hear the sadness and helplessness of a usually carefree girl after a great change. At the same time, on Jun Mountain, a crying sound of the hole flute appeared, and the mournful sound of the piano was perfectly integrated, and there was comfort and persuasion in the sound of the flute, but it was more chic and freehand.
"There is such a romantic character on the island. ”
Wu Shizhong's martial arts were second only to Ji Game among the crowd, and he naturally heard that there was an invisible internal force stirring in the sound of the flute, which was like the waves of the sea, layered and boundless. This is a master beyond his imagination.
"Xiang'e cries that the bamboo is sorrowful, and the spotted bamboo is a thousand tears! I can't see women sad and crying the most, you water thieves listen to me, hurry up and release that girl, otherwise, this 800-mile cave court is your grave!"
A thief leader shouted at the woman in the cabin, and the sound of the piano stopped, and the sound of the flute also stopped abruptly. However, it provoked a deviant and arrogant troublesome character.
On Jun Mountain, a young scribe with a cool demeanor, a green coat and a square scarf on his head fell on a flat boat like a breeze, and as soon as the true qi in his body was released, the boat rushed to the nearby water thief like an arrow from the string. The young man's actions were very fast, and he jumped on the boat in the blink of an eye, and with a turn of the turquoise hole flute in his hand, the cyan sword qi swallowed, and the heads of the two water thieves on the bow of the boat flew, and blood spilled on the surface of the lake.
"Good kung fu!"
For the water thieves, no one present had sympathy, and Wu Shizhong praised them when he saw the young scribe raise his hand and kill the two of them. Ji Game's vision is higher than him, and he has seen far more than him. The young scribe used the sword of the Xiao Dynasty, chic and handsome, and the sword moves were subtle and mysterious, mainly attacking the enemy's acupoints. It's just that under the urging of his incomparably powerful true qi, the water thieves will die if they touch it. And none of the corpses remained intact. But even in the process of killing, the young scribe's posture is still chic and graceful, like a falling ying, colorful and unstained, with thousands of purples and a little green.
Looking at it, the inexplicable meaning in Ji Game's eyes became more and more profound, and he remembered a story that Liu Haichan had boasted to him. In the past, he was successful in learning Taoism, and he thought that no one in the world could beat him, so he visited the various avenues from the north all the way to learn Taoism. After sweeping all the way from the north to the south, Liu Haichan was still unwilling, and began to move overseas from the inland.
In order to avoid being polluted by the red dust, some Xuanmen masters have almost occupied the blessed land of the cave by some major sects, so they have occupied an island overseas and are at ease. For more than 100 years, no one can count how many people have lived in seclusion on the East China Sea, some of whom have left their own legacies before they die, while many more have sat down silently. These people were called the East China Sea Sanren by the Central Plains Daomen, and after Liu Haichan got the news from someone with ulterior motives, he immediately went to the sea to look for it.
Lonely as snow, he finally met an opponent in the East China Sea who surprised him, although these scattered people did not have a systematic inheritance, but they each had their own strengths, adhering to the most primitive Taoist system of antiquity, studying a discipline, and keeping one sincerely. Some are good at astronomy and geography, and some are proficient in Wentao and martial arts. There are many great masters such as poetry and songs, calligraphy and painting, piano and chess, gossip and arithmetic.
Liu Haichan visited from the East China Sea, island by island, small farmland and water conservancy, business and economic warfare, firewood, rice, oil and salt, as large as medicine and astrology, yin and yang five elements, Qimen Dunjia...... It can be said that he has put into full use what he has learned in his life, and after three years, he finally visited the 33 islands in the East China Sea. This trip to the East China Sea also pushed Liu Haichan's Taoist kung fu to the point of reaching the peak.
"If it weren't for the persecution of those old guys, I wouldn't have been able to crack the 'Tai Void Extreme Gong' before I was sixty years old, and then create the last two layers of the 'Zixia Gong'. ”
When Liu Haichan said this, his face was very proud, and this record was rated by him as the best in his life. Although it is not known, it is the three years that established his status as a great grandmaster.
"When I was leaving, the old guys were not convinced, so they agreed to compete every ten years, but from the time I was forty-eight years old to the present, there have been five competitions, and they have never won me once. ”
When he said this, the expression on Liu Haichan's face was very strange, and he was both happy and crying.
"When I went to the last time, there were only three people left: Old Daoist Yuxiao, Old Ghost Lingao, and Master of Peach Blossom Island, and there were only three of the thirty-three Taoist friends in the past, and now there are only three left......"
That day, Liu Haichan drank a lot of wine and talked a lot, talking about the pain and helplessness of watching his friends pass away one by one, and he was still in the world.
"Apprentice, after the last competition, the three old fellows knew that they couldn't wait for the next ten years, so they agreed with me to let their apprentices come and compare with me. How could I be a descendant of the Huashan Taoist lineage to bully a junior, so I boasted about Haikou and said that I would also teach an apprentice to compare with them. Don't let me down, the disciple they found was a little worse than me in terms of talent, but he was really amazing. ”
Thinking of this, Ji Game's gaze at the young scribe became even more meaningful, and a chuckle appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Jade Xiao Sword Technique, Luoying Divine Sword, Lingao Step, it seems to be right!"
