Chapter 19: Lao Xu
It is said that when Wei Shen heard the sound, he hid in the forest on the left side of the stream, hiding behind the big tree, and kept paying attention to the movement on the right side of the stream opposite. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This movement is not very big, and it is not a big thing to make a movement, but Wei Shen has been nervous for the past few days, and his whole person has always been tense, and this time is naturally no exception.
However, when the thing revealed its true body and appeared in Wei Shen's field of vision, he was almost ecstatic and wanted to rush out and hug him.
An old Taoist priest.
The gray beard that hung down to his chest, and the blue-gray shabby Taoist robe, were none other than the mountain and river people who came down from the two gorges.
It's a little weird to appear in this deserted mountain this time, but Wei Shen doesn't care if he's weird or not, as long as he's a living person, he can't wait to call grandpa grandma.
Before the mountain river priest appeared, he heard a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the guard on the other side, "Dao Chief!
Then I saw a young man in tattered clothes who was still dirty and ran towards him, hugged his thighs, his eyes were bright and clear, and he was pitiful, "Dao Chief, help me out of the mountain!"
Looking at this strange young man who suddenly appeared, the mountain and river people were not surprised, and looked at Wei Shen and smiled slightly, "The old man is here to find you." ”
Wei Shen was taken aback, and immediately put away his pitiful appearance and said with some hesitation, "My father asked you to come to me?"
The Shanhe Daoren shook his head, and the hands behind him suddenly took out, and handed a burden and a scabbard to Wei Shen's hands.
Wei Shen took a closer look, and he was overjoyed, this was the burden and scabbard he had lost three days ago, and he suddenly said excitedly, "The Taoist is really a master!
The mountain and river man sighed, stretched out his finger and lightly tapped Wei Shen's forehead.
This sudden sudden made Wei Shen a little ignorant, and Wei Shen, who got up, touched the place where the mountain and river people had just touched their fingers with some embarrassment, and he was puzzled, "What is the Dao Chief?"
The people of Shanhe Dao suddenly showed a straight face, and said sharply, "I came to look for you this time, not because I was entrusted by your father, nor did I do righteous things in the rivers and lakes, but to take you as a disciple, are you willing to go with me to this world and walk six thousand miles? Learn a trick and a half?"
Wei Shen was stunned when he heard this, there was nothing like this in the scene where he had dreamed countless times and was accepted as an apprentice by a certain master.
Then he began to look carefully at the old Taoist's body, this was nothing but his Taoist robe, not even a Taoist priest's iconic peachwood sword, Wei Shen was suspicious in his heart, is this really a master of the rivers and lakes?
Wei Shen cautiously asked, "You want to take me as an apprentice?"
Shanhe raised his eyebrows, glanced at this guy, and asked rhetorically, "What do you want to learn?"
Wei Shen lowered his head and thought about it for a long time, he had listened to a lot of books in the past few years, what nine yin white bone claws, and eighteen palms of the dragon descending remembered a lot, but what kind of exercises and sword moves that Mr. taught made up blindly in this world, and even if there was an old Taoist priest, he might not be able to, suddenly he saw the lost scabbard in his hand, and he said a little timidly, "This, I want to practice swords, but, but you don't seem to have a sword." ”
This Wei Shen had just finished speaking, when he heard the sound of a choking sword, a cold cold passed by his cheek, and the gilded silver sword that had been put into the scabbard in his hand actually flew out of thin air!
Like a touch of gilt light to the surface of the stream, the originally calm and gentle stream suddenly turned into a river and rolled up, rolling up a thousand huge waves!
Then, the whole stream rolled into a column of water, as if it was pulled by the heavenly gods, and it followed the silver light and then wrapped it.
The water column was horizontal in the air, accompanied by a dragon chant that shook the sky, and the whole mountain and forest were scattered in all directions, and above that inconspicuous stream, there was actually a water dragon!
The wind rises and the beasts roar!
Wei Shen was stunned when he looked at the divine scene in front of him.
But I heard someone ask, "If you want to learn swords, then I will teach you the best swordsmanship in the world, how about it?"
The sound seemed to come from heaven, echoing throughout the mountains and forests.
Wei Shen looked at the mountain and river man who appeared under the water dragon at some point, the breeze blew, blowing his blue-gray shabby Taoist robe, and a wisp of beard sprinkled with the wind, just like the immortal descending to earth.
Wei Shen's eyes were hot, he knelt heavily on the rocks, ignoring the pain under his knees, and shouted loudly, "Master is above!
In the nameless mountain forest, suddenly everything returned to calm, and the water dragon disappeared, and turned into an inconspicuous stream flowing slowly.
There were two people walking out of the mountains along a path and heading towards Huayang City.
Three days later.
In Lao Xu's small courtyard, Lao Xu finally didn't know what he had done, and returned to the courtyard to sit on the long bamboo chair with a cup of hot tea in one hand and an old smoking gun that had been used for ten years in the other, with his eyes slightly closed, and a leisurely expression on his face, as if he was feeling comfortable.
At this moment, the door of the room in the far corner of the courtyard creaked, and Rong Tieyi pushed open the door and walked out of it, carrying a burden on his shoulders and a cyan long sword without a scabbard.
"Leaving?"
Lao Xu didn't look back at him, but he had already guessed Rong Tieyi's intentions.
"Hmm. ”
Rong Tieyi responded gently, it seemed that he was a little difficult to speak, and he was a little hesitant, but when he heard Lao Xu ask directly, he still answered directly.
"Where are you going?"
Lao Xu's eyes suddenly opened, he sat up straight, put the cup of hot tea on the stone table, and then lifted the cigarette gun and began to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog.
"I'm going to go to Huayang City, and I want to worship under the Iron Hand Gate. ”
Lao Xu was a little surprised, put down the cigarette gun, he looked at Rong Tieyi and asked, "What are you doing at Tieshoumen?"
Rong Tieyi said without hesitation, "At present, only the Yanyu Gate and the Iron Hand Gate are the most powerful sects in Huayang City, so I want to try it." ”
Lao Xu frowned and was silent.
Rong Tieyi smiled, "If I leave, it shouldn't delay your delivery, haven't you said anything about it when I've been lying in bed for so many days?"
Lao Xu smiled, "Of course it doesn't affect you, otherwise I wouldn't have accepted you in the first place." He sighed lightly and asked, "Then why don't you go to Yanyumen, but you want to go to Tieshoumen?" I heard that Yanyumen has a closer relationship with the imperial court, and even the city lord's mansion does not dare to offend easily, if you can enter, then the future should be broader." ”
Rong Tieyi returned, "Yanyumen has had three generations of door masters in the imperial court as officials, and the relationship with the imperial court is indeed closer, and the iron hand gate is now more valued by the city lord's mansion, but the imperial court is thousands of miles away, as the saying goes, far water can't save the near fire, no matter how big the backer is, it can't be relied on, and now the court's attitude towards the king of Qiyang, and the intention of the king of Qiyang to be related to the king of Liushan, hehe, in fact, this King of Qiyang can't be down, in my opinion, it is easier to get a foothold in Huayang City to get a job in the iron hand gate." ”
Lao Xu said again, "It's really not easy for a little doll of your age to think of so much, but why do you want to choose between these two sects?" Although they are all nominal Jianghu sects, in fact, they have already become the official family in power, and the official family is no different from the side door of the official family, Yanyumen and Tieshoumen are fighting openly and secretly, in fact, it is equivalent to the King of Qiyang fighting with the imperial court, if the imperial court really wants to move the real character of the King of Qiyang, I am afraid that this Iron Hand Gate will be the first to suffer, you are a chick who has only walked in the rivers and lakes, can you really stay in those places? Don't just give yourself away. ”
Rong Tieyi smiled lightly, "In the future, what about the Iron Hand Gate, how about the King of Qiyang, and what about the Yanyu Gate, I have my own plans to go outside, Lao Xu, you are also worried too much, I won't stay too long." By the way, how do you know these things so well?"
After saying that, Rong Tieyi shook off the burden on his shoulders and walked towards the courtyard gate, seemingly not wanting to listen to Lao Xu's answer.
"I'm leaving. ”
Lao Xu was silent for a moment, and at the moment when Rong Tieyi was about to step out of the courtyard gate, he suddenly stopped him again, "You really want to go to Tieshou Gate?"
Rong Tieyi was stunned for a moment, he turned his head suspiciously, and then nodded affirmatively, "Hmm." ”
Lao Xu sighed softly, "How long are you going to stay?"
Rong Tieyi replied, "It's a month." ”
Lao Xu said, "Then you must leave the Iron Hand Gate within a month." ”
Rong Tieyi was puzzled, and was about to ask, but saw Lao Xu wave his hand fiercely, "Don't ask again, let's go!"
Rong Tieyi was suspicious in his heart, but he really didn't ask any more, he turned around and left, and walked out of the courtyard.
On a spring day, the sun is a little warm, but also a little drowsy, generally at this time, the people in Huangyang Town are busy collecting tea in the mountains.
Rong Tieyi walked alone on the road, a little lonely, he kept his head down, and kept recalling what Lao Xu said before in his mind.
He didn't know why Lao Xu secretly persuaded him not to go to the Iron Hand Gate, and he didn't know why he wanted to leave within a month, but he remembered something.
Lao Xu's son seems to have been beaten to death by the people of the Iron Gate back then.
