Chapter 51: Kinnara
Nangong Qingwu has the grace of passing on his merits to Ran Jingjing, and his death made Ran Jingjing very sentimental. Everyone comforted for a while before burying Nangong Qingwu and returning to the small courtyard together.
There were originally six people in the group, but when they returned to the small courtyard, there were only four people left with Aunt Gongsun. After such a toss, everyone lost their sleepiness. They all gathered together and listened to Aunt Gongsun talk about why they came here.
Aunt Gongsun is Ran Fei's younger sister, the two are like brothers, in fact, the Ran family is also her home. In order to inherit the master, she is determined not to marry for life, explore the secret of the "Flying Sword Technique", and cultivate the way of the sword immortal. In order to achieve the wish of the teacher.
It's a pity that although she is talented, she is still unable to see through all the mysteries of the first half of the "Flying Sword Technique" when she is a. The second half of the "Flying Sword Technique" is even more hopeless. In the end, he has just seen through the mystery of the little grandmaster. can only be reduced to His Majesty's sword attendant and become a court kendo dancer.
After she was recruited into Chang'an by His Majesty, she was kept in the palace until she was released after participating in the ceremony of changing the country name "Tianbao".
When she was in the palace, she had already heard all kinds of rumors about the Ran family in Henan, and she also knew about some major events that happened on the rivers and lakes. Therefore, as soon as he left Chang'an, he rushed to Weizhou day and night.
Regarding the incident of the two making a big fuss in the barracks, due to the blockade of the news by the "procuratorate", basically no one in the rivers and lakes knows about it. There was no news of their whereabouts. But Nangong Qingwu appeared in the rivers and lakes, and after driving south, it was spread. When Aunt Gongsun heard the news, she connected the cause and effect, and faintly felt that it must be related to Ran Jingjing and Li Chengtang.
Therefore, before she arrived in Weizhou, she went directly through Xiangzhou to meet her, wanting to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, she met Lonely Boundless when she arrived in Yaocheng.
The information about Lonely Boundless is now full of rivers and lakes, and Aunt Gongsun recognizes him at a glance. And Aunt Gongsun is only officially influential, and she is not so famous in the rivers and lakes, and she has become famous early, so she doesn't know her at all. So there was no precaution against her.
The most important thing is that Lonely Wuya does not put the lonely Gongsun Aunt in his eyes at all.
Aunt Gongsun knew about his grievances with the Ran family, and even knew that he had always coveted the Ran family's "Flying Sword Technique", and she also knew a thing or two about the "Dragon Sword". And they followed him from afar, to see what he wanted.
Lonely and vicious, but extremely smart. He knows what it means to be dark under the lamp. On the rivers and lakes, especially in Shaolin, Rujian must have thought that he had fled back to Xiaogushan and looked for him everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. So it's better to stay nearby and not go anywhere!
Sure enough, as he expected, there were not many masters here, and no one paid attention to him, so he was even more unscrupulous. Especially after getting the "Dragon Sword", he was obsessed with cultivation. I didn't find Aunt Gongsun.
Aunt Gongsun has made a lot of effort, and her tracking skills are even more impressive. She uses a woman's unique delicacy and ability to distinguish fragrances, and the original "thyme" can be found within a hundred miles as long as it is dipped on the body.
Thinking of the incense fate between the Ran family and Shaolin, in the process of tracking, she left a lonely message for Shaolin along the way. I hope that if the master arrives, he will take this house together to remove the disaster for the Ran family.
Just a month ago, the master did not arrive, but waited for the "Jianghu Xuan Comment List" to be released. Then the matter of Qinghe Cui's family fermented. Of course, the traces of Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing were also leaked.
The release of the "Xuan Ping List" has set off a frenzy on the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes in the north and south of the country are looking for the lonely and endless, wanting to become famous and profiteous. Yaocheng is also active.
Since the release of the "Jianghu Xuan Rating List", Lonely Wuya has changed its itinerary again. He set off from Yaocheng and headed north, which was in the direction of the Qinghe River. It is consistent with the direction of Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing. I thought, isn't this guy going to kill Li Chengtang to stop him from asking for the "Dragon Sword". I followed it all the way.
When they arrived at Qinghe, Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing had just arrived. Aunt Gongsun was hesitating, not knowing whether to abandon her loneliness and rush to join Ran Jingjing. saw that Gu Wuya did not go to Li Chengtang, but continued to rush north to Boling County.
At this time, Li Chengtang's dispute with the Cui family was just beginning to come out. The big house of the Boling Cui clan coincided with the prime minister in the court, and the power was in full swing. From the big house to the sixth room, the Boling Cui clan is prosperous and powerful, and it has also attracted a lot of customers from the rivers and lakes.
Due to the relationship between His Majesty, Aunt Gongsun is very familiar with the combination of vertical and horizontal in the court. I know that the Boling Cui clan and the Qinghe Cui clan are in the same breath. Thinking that the lonely rush to Boling must be related to Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing, he continued to follow Boling.
Sure enough, on the pretext of seeking refuge from the Cui family in Berlin, Gu Wuya agreed to teach Li Chengtang a lesson for them. At the same time, Aunt Gongsun also discovered the conspiracy of these Jianghu people.
After hearing that they were using despicable and obscene means to deal with her disciples, she was anxious to chase after Li Chengtang and his party. Unexpectedly, he encountered Nangong Qingwu and Gu Wuwu fighting, so he desperately intercepted Gu Wuwu and asked Nangong Qingwu to rescue Ran Jingjing.
When Nangong Qingwu returned to continue the struggle with Gu Wuwu, although she knew that she had rescued Ran Jingjing, she was still not at ease, so she found the small courtyard. Because he heard a strange sound in the house, he thought that someone was bullying Jingjing, so he broke into the door.
When Aunt Gongsun said this, Ran Jingjing was so ashamed that her face was red, and Li Chengtang also felt embarrassed. Shangguan Chi glanced at the two of them with the experience of a passer-by, deliberately changed the topic, and said:
"Fortunately, there is no danger this time, but it's a pity that Nangong's predecessors paid for it, and the Ran family also lost three good players, it is estimated that there will be no more enemies tonight, Lonely Wuya has been beaten away, there are still some days, everyone take a rest as soon as possible, and leave for Puyang early tomorrow morning."
When it came to the lonely and boundless, Li Chengtang remembered the vajra that appeared out of thin air just now, and asked Aunt Gongsun:
"Senior Gongsun, is the last Buddha name Master Shaolin Rujian?" He thought to himself, I don't know if I can stop the lonely old man, he needs to find the 'Dragon Sword' in the future, and he has to know where to go.
Aunt Gongsun said: "The people in the martial arts who use the vajra magic weapon as a weapon are like seeing a master, it is estimated that Shaolin received the message from me, so he rushed over." ”
Li Chengtang knew that it was Shaolin Rujian who came, and his heart was a lot more stable. If the "Dragon Sword" is lost, there is a place to look.
After nothing to say, everyone went back to their rooms to rest for a while.
On the second day, Shangguan Chi went early in the morning to deal with the carriage and horses. Only one carriage was left, and he personally drove straight to Puyang.
Li Chengtang, Ran Jingjing, and Aunt Gongsun sat in the car, silent all the way. Ran Jingjing had just endured Nangong Qingwu's teaching, meditating cross-legged in the car, secretly absorbing true qi. I saw her circulate between her limbs and hundreds of bones, and her jade face gradually crystalline. It seems that he has turned into his own, and the realm has faintly entered the rank of a little grandmaster.
Aunt Gongsun was amazed. Although she is a stubborn disciple with great talent, she has never sought to improve. I didn't expect to be with Li Chengtang, I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and I entered the country so quickly. Faintly has surpassed herself, and it seems that the heavy responsibility of Master Guang is really going to fall on her.
At the same time, I am glad to have regrets that I was born at the wrong time. He knew that this must be the credit of Li Chengtang, Ran Jingjing was like his own daughter, so the more he looked at Li Chengtang, the more he liked it. A smile on his face.
Although Aunt Gongsun is over forty years old, she has never been married, and her figure is very well maintained, and the years have added a mature charm, all of which are extremely attractive. Being stared at by such a beautiful woman all the time, with an indescribable smile on her face, Li Chengtang couldn't help but blush, and he didn't know why.
In order to avoid embarrassment, he had to close his eyes and recuperate, and unconsciously fell asleep. After days of hard work, coupled with the fact that there is almost no rest at night, it is inevitable that there will be some feeling of physical exhaustion.
By the time he woke up, it was nearly noon. But his head was pillowed on Ran Jingjing's round and jade thighs, and when he raised his eyes, he saw her plump and round twin peaks, and hurriedly sat up. An embarrassed look on his face.
Ran Jingjing smiled at him very lovingly. Aunt Gongsun pretended not to see the movements of the two, and looked at the scene outside the car by herself.
In order to avoid further embarrassment, Li Chengtang got out of the carriage and said a few words to Guan Chi. Tell him to eat at the front of the pavilion.
In the afternoon, because of Ran Jingjing, the atmosphere was no longer so awkward. In order to ease the atmosphere and learn more about the origin of the Ran family, I chatted with Aunt Gongsun about the "Flying Sword Technique".
Although Li Chengtang has been dating Ran Jingjing for so long, he has always been in a fog about her master and knows nothing about it. Now it is up to Aunt Gongsun to talk about it carefully, and she understands the origin better.
It turned out that her division originated from the Spring and Autumn Period and belonged to a branch of the Tianzhu Kinnara Sect and was the protector of the Kinnara Sect. The secret methods of the Kinnara sect were all guarded by the Dharma Protector Sect, but one day the important secret method of the sect, the "Flying Sword Technique", disappeared, so more than a dozen disciples of the Dharma Protector Sect were expelled. These disciples had no choice but to come to Middle-earth.
Initially, they gathered in the areas of Yumen, Yangguan and Dunhuang. While looking for clues to the "Flying Sword Technique", he spread the teachings of Kinara. Later, the Warring States were chaotic and had to move to the Central Plains, and finally gradually became Middle-earth.
As time passed, the "Flying Sword Technique" was never found. Because her teacher had read the first half of "Flying Sword Technique", she pieced together an incomplete upper volume from memory. It has been passed down from generation to generation.
Although hundreds of thousands of years have passed, the original intention of the master to find the "Flying Sword Technique" has not changed. I don't want to return this secret to Tianzhu, but I want to return to the glory of the Central Plains.
Aunt Gongsun told Li Chengtang that the first dozen or so ancestors had their own inheritances. One of them is indeed good at Buddhist painting, but there is only one inheritor left, and she calls him the third uncle all year round.
This person does not know martial arts in the division, and he is a bit of a painting idiot, and a few years ago he was requisitioned by the imperial court to repair Dunhuang Buddhist paintings. Her teacher has been living with him because he has a relationship, but I really don't know where he has gone in the past few years.
"But ......" Aunt Gongsun was excited because she heard that the "Flying Sword Technique" was expected to be found, thought about it carefully, and continued: "I heard that Master said when he was alive that there seems to be the same inheritance in Shanxi Hanging Temple, I don't know if he went there." ”
