Chapter 509 - The Legend of the Immortal Scroll
From the dawn, the sky is full of glass.
Wang Yue'er stepped forward, gently blew away the flame of the lamp, looked deeply at the three uncles who were smiling with their arms and Grandpa Xiao with a loving smile on the couch, calmed down, and raised her eyes to look at Lao Zhou, the shopkeeper beside her.
Lao Zhou naturally understood the girl's thoughts, and when he nodded slightly, he slowly retreated, until he closed the door, and then turned his back and wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes.
The girl behind her was also touched by this scene, and said softly: "Grandpa Zhou, Long Tuan Shengxue has a fragrant lips and teeth, and there should be matching pastries... Yue'er wants to beg Grandpa Zhou for a stutter..."
Hearing the girl speak, Shopkeeper Zhou sensed her delicate thoughts, so as to comfort herself, she hurriedly calmed down and looked back and smiled: "The county lord is a person who understands tea, and Longtuan Shengxue does have matching pastries, so the villain will let people prepare."
Looking at the back of the shopkeeper Zhou, the cardamom girl looked back with a smile, looked indoors, breathed a long sigh of relief, put her hands behind her back, jumped upside down, tasted the pastries and left...
In the elegant room, the reckless man reddened his eyes again, grabbed the arms of the person in front of him, hammered his chest with his fist, and laughed with a little trembling: "We... We know that you kid is not the one who betrays the Lord... It's so hard to be deceived by you!"
Without waiting for this person to speak, Wu Fen beside him took over the conversation, learning from the previous reckless man's impulsive tone, and teasing: "Good boy! You dare to come to the door yourself, let's clean up the door for Xiangye today!"
Wu Fen imitated it vividly, not to mention that it was exactly the same, but it was also the essence of Zhang Hude's recklessness, which made the smile of the reckless man who was smiling with his arms stagnant, and his dark face suddenly turned red, and turned to Wu Fen and trembled: "You... You... I..."
Seeing this, the man raised his head and smiled, and the depression that had been sneaking alone for many years was swept away, and he was embarrassed for Zhang Hude, and said to Wu Fen: "Why should the second brother tease the eldest brother, Duanmu did it, no wonder the eldest brother misunderstood, but he can cover the eyes of the second brother, and Duanmu is also a little proud."
"Yes, yes, Lao Wu, don't be bald and laugh at the lame, didn't you see Duanmu's plan?" Zhang Hude seemed to catch Wu Fen's sore feet, and opened his mouth to laugh and scold.
Wu Fen was speechless and speechless, so he had to turn his gaze for help to the kind old man on the couch.
Seeing this, the old man changed his half-leaning posture and sat up slowly, the three of them saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help each other, the old man faced the arms handed by the three of them, and supported them with a smile: "Hude and Fen'er don't blame Duanmu, that person's mind is not under the teacher, and Duanmu is the only way to dissolve his suspicions... Besides, as a teacher, I have no choice but to let Duanmu..."
Hearing this, Wu Fen and Zhang Hude were ashamed, and knelt down together and said, "It's the two of us, I don't know the teacher's hard work, I misunderstood Duanmu..."
Before the two of them knelt down, their bodies had already been supported by Duanmu Qiu, and their eyes met for a moment, Zhang and Wu had already stopped, and between the men, their eyes were touched, and they were already relieved.
"When he led the army south to welcome the Tang Dynasty, the old man originally wanted him to stick to Luzhou, temporarily stop the Southern Tang Dynasty to go north, and wait until King Yun broke the Xiongnu in Zhongzhou and Lin'er broke the Northern Jin Dynasty, so he could join forces in one place, wave his army to the south, and break the Southern Tang Dynasty together... Unexpectedly, with only 50,000 people, he broke the 130,000 army of the Southern Tang Dynasty..."Xiao Xiang frowned, said what was in his heart, and also said the regret in his heart, paused slightly, and continued to speak.
"On that day, King Yun ignored the old man's dissuasion, insisted on leading Lin'er to Beijing, and ordered me and Wang Tian to lead the army to continue to drive the Xiongnu outside the Shanhai Pass... If the old man can accompany King Yun to Beijing, he will definitely be able to see through... How could I let that child lose his life in Jianglin... Ahem, ahem!"
The pain in his heart caused a burning sensation in his chest and abdomen, and a violent cough interrupted his muttering. Seeing this, the three of Duanmu hurriedly stepped forward and stroked the old man's bent back...
The old man calmed down a little to relieve his cough, and with the support of the three of them, he sat down on the couch again, and continued: "The old man still doesn't know how he defeated the Southern Tang army."
Wu Fen's eyebrows gathered slightly, and he muttered: "The teacher's nine victories in the palace back then, once said..."
Before the words fell, he heard Duanmu Qiu beside him speak softly: "Back then, the officials of the palace were uneven, and the teacher's strategy of nine victories was not so much a way to retreat from the enemy, but a strategy to gather people's hearts, which is more appropriate..."
Xiao Xiang cast an approving glance at Duanmu Qiu, and then spoke: "After the change of Zhao Capital, I can no longer do anything
, so he and Wang Tian took 80,000 sons and daughters to garrison Weizhou to defend the Huns, and visited the events of the year, but... Unexpectedly, the army of 50,000 couldn't find the slightest clue... Either he dies, or his tongue is broken, his mouth is dumb, his eyes are blind, and his hands are broken."
Wu Fen was shocked by the ruthlessness of that person's methods, it was not a hundred or ten people, it was the mouth of tens of thousands of soldiers, and he was surprised in his heart for the time being, and muttered, "Is it possible... No clues?"
"There's... However, it can't be called a clue, it can only be said to be a legend." Even the peerless national warrior who has no last resort, can't help but shake his head slightly when he mentions this clue.
"What legend?" Zhang Hude and Wu Fen spoke in unison.
"Qiu'er, come on..." Xiao Xiang felt the burning in his chest again, turned to Duanmu Qiu, frowned and spoke.
Feeling the inquiring eyes of Zhang and Wu, Duanmu Qiu remembered the news he had gotten, and a little fear rose in his heart, and he calmed down a little and told the story.
"Before winning the world, it was an era of war, the princes supported their own troops, fought for many years, the world was miserable, and the legend has it that there was an ancient famous man, with supreme skills, to shock the countries, so that the world was temporarily peaceful..."
At this point, Duanmu Qiu's words changed: "But the good times don't last long, and in troubled times, there will be demon troubles... The demon dragon was born, for the disaster of the world, the ancient famous man, with the supreme technique, ascended to the immortal and slashed the dragon, but he also exhausted his cultivation, and sat on the spot... But it is rumored that before his life and death were gone, the immortal scroll he practiced was passed on to the world..."
"And in the next hundred years, the general trend of the world, divided for a long time, will be united, and there are also rumors that the winning emperor found this immortal scroll fragment to practice, and then simplified it into the method of military formation, spreading the winning army, so that the military strength rose greatly, and then swept away the countries, let the world unify, and return to win."
Zhang and Wu had already opened their mouths when they heard it, and the legend in Duanmu Qiu's mouth was really beyond the cognition of the two, and after a while, Wu Fenfang came back to his senses and asked, "This... What does that have to do with him?"
Of course, Duanmu Qiu knew who Wu Fen's "he" was referring to, his eyes moved slightly, and he continued solemnly: "The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and before winning the emperor's unification, he already felt a strange feeling in his body, but he still continued to study the remnants of the immortal law. However, the fact that he has already achieved success in the army does not prevent him from dominating the world..."
"Duanmu, you are going around and around, making my old Zhang dizzy, you also know that my old Zhang is an acute person, what does this have to do with that person, come on!" Zhang Hude saw that Duanmu Qiu was slow to get to the point, and his anxious eyes were about to burst into flames, so he interrupted and urged him to speak.
However, Wu Fen seemed to hear the clues from Duanmuqiu's words, took Zhang Hude's words, met Duanmuqiu's solemn gaze, and muttered, "You mean... The man... He... But how did he get it, the legend in the world was made up by those princes in order to control people's hearts... Is there really such a thing as an immortal?"
"There is no trace of such legends, but after years of searching, I finally learned something from the mouth of an old man, and I was sure that this legend is true or false." Duanmu Qiu saw Wu Fenhu talking suspiciously, and immediately spoke.
"What?" Even Wu Fen, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help but be short of breath and asked eagerly.
Duanmu Qiu looked at the old man on the couch and frowned, and slowly said what was hidden in his heart: "Back then, I used the method taught by the teacher to defile myself, and I was finally demoted out of Beijing, so I tried to investigate this matter, and finally heard it in the mouth of a hundred-year-old man in Luzhou City..."
Taking a deep breath and calming down, Duanmu Qiu said in one breath: "The old man in the city of Luzhou, who is over 100 years old, has no children to take care of, and still walks like a fly, just like a young man, and the people in the city are known for their longevity.
"At first, Lao Suo was wary of me and kept silent, and then after I shone on him for several days, he finally let him let down his guard, and told me the secret of his longevity, when he was young, he used to cut wood for a living in the valley outside Luzhou City, and he accidentally fell into a chaotic place, and when he was in a trance, he vaguely saw a pair of eyes that flashed evil red rays locked on him, and he curled up timidly for a long time, until the red rays dissipated, and finally mustered up the courage to climb out of the place where he fell until he returned to Luzhou City, only to know that he had been missing for more than a month."
"Since then, he has felt that his body has inexhaustible strength, he does not feel heat in summer, he does not feel cold in winter, he does not eat in the moon, he does not feel hungry, he has a loyal nature, he only says that he is cursed by the land of chaos, so he does not dare to marry a wife and have children, for fear of delaying the girl of a good family, so he is still alone at the age of 100... Then the Shenzhou Rebellion, the Southern Tang Dynasty invaded Zhao, and Qi Yunwei went south to Luzhou to meet the enemy... The city was in chaos, and he fled and scattered, but he had no concern, and he did not want to leave his home, so he found a remote place in the city to hide."
"At first, I heard that Qi Yunwei was defeated by the Southern Tang army, and Zhou Min, the commander of Qi Yunjun, led the army to rescue him... Later, when he heard that Qi Yunjun had returned from a great victory, he still wondered why, in a short period of time, the battle situation suddenly changed, but in the hiding place, he saw a scene that frightened him."
At this point, even Duanmu Qiu, who was firm-minded, couldn't help but show nervousness, swallowed his saliva, settled his mind, and continued to speak.
"The place where he hid was a wealthy businessman's courtyard, there were few people coming and going on weekdays, and no one passed by on the day of the military disaster, but when Qi Yunjun arrived, he saw the sergeant of the army, and stood the commander's banner in this courtyard, he hid for many days, and he was familiar with the terrain, that is, Sergeant Qi Yun searched repeatedly, but he avoided it."
"After Qi Yunjun returned to the city victoriously, one day and night, he saw an old man in the armor of a general, arguing fiercely with a young man... Curious, he was about to get closer to eavesdrop, but saw a red glint in the boy's eyes... The body of the beautiful bearded old general in armor was weakened, and it was not until he fell to the ground that Lao Suo saw that the old general had been separated from his head and died on the spot, and the eyes of the boy were constantly flashing red, just like the evil eyes that Lao Suo saw when he fell into the chaos of the valley, which was terrifying..."
Hearing this, Zhang and Wu suddenly got up, looked back in horror, and looked at the teacher behind them who closed their eyes slightly, as if they couldn't bear to listen anymore.
The two withdrew their gazes, looked at each other, and each said the name of the other.
"Zhou Min!"
"Qi Shao!"
The peerless national warrior, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke at this moment, and took Duanmu Qiu's words, and his tone was very solemn: "The old man didn't know how Shao'er broke the 130,000 army of the Southern Tang Dynasty before, and it wasn't until Qiu'er talked about what this old man saw, and the old man understood... Maybe there are really immortals and demons in this world, so we can do it..."
"But... But... Even so, how can it be asserted... That old man is not old enough to be crazy and talk nonsense, how can he be sure that it is the legendary fairy scroll that made his temperament change greatly... There is immortal power, but why..."Wu Fen is speechless at this moment, unable to speak.
"At first, I thought it was because this old man was old, a little crazy, and talking nonsense... It wasn't until he told me what he had seen, and told me that he was dying, and that he didn't want to die guarding such secrets, that he dug up something from a corner of the courtyard and gave it to me, that I was convinced." Duanmu Qiu tightened his eyebrows, reached into his arms, and took out an object, which appeared in front of Zhang and Wu.
It was a golden order, with a cloud-swallowing beast on the upper edge, sheep's horns and wolf hooves, a deer's body and an oxtail, and the ox's tail wrapped this order from top to bottom along the gold medal, reversing to show the back, only to see one word.
Min
Zhang and Wu are very familiar with this order, this is the golden order carried by the old general Zhou, and it was made by King Qiyun for everyone when he sent skilled craftsmen... In a daze, he reached into his arms and took out the things he was carrying, compared with one or two, and there was really no fake, only the words "Hude" and "Fen" on the back of the golden order were different.
looked at each other, and the shock in his heart made Zhang Hude, who had always been reckless and fearless, also show a little fear in his eyes.
