Chapter 13 Reminiscences of the Rivers and Lakes
It turns out that this Wei Qiwu is really a great character, he comes from a family of tomb robbers, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him 'Changfeng Wanli'. He has robbed countless ancient tombs in his life, and many ancient books and secret records that have not been circulated in the world have been discovered by him one by one, so that he knows more secrets of the rivers and lakes than ordinary people, and this person is strong in martial arts, never evil, and has a great reputation in the martial arts. As for why he is locked up here, I will elaborate on it later.
With the sound of iron locks, Wei Qiwu slowly moved out of the shadows and moved to the edge of the iron fence. Ye Suiyun saw his appearance clearly, and secretly cheered in his heart, this person has a tiger's back and a heroic demeanor, although he is sitting on the ground, he must be tall and mighty, a good man.
Ye Suiyun asked: "Grandma once said that the cultivation of internal strength must start from the dantian, if it is really as you said, this autumn rain recipe is the method of cultivating internal strength, but why is the meridians of the limbs echoing first?" ”
Wei Qiwu groaned for a while and said, "I can't figure it out either, maybe this is what makes it different from ordinary martial arts." He asked again: "Brother Ye, have you never learned martial arts?" ”
Ye Suiyun was a little embarrassed and said: "I know a little kung fu, but it doesn't work very well, and I will lose if I fight anyone." He smiled self-deprecatingly. Wei Qiwu said: "Come out and show me." Ye Suiyun thought he was joking, smiled and didn't answer.
Wei Qiwu said: "If you don't practice to show me, how do I know how well you practice?" Ye Suiyun knew that he was going to teach himself kung fu, so he hurriedly got up and started the posture to demonstrate the palm skills he had learned since childhood, there were only thirteen styles in total, and the moves were not very fancy. Wei Qiwuqi said: "Why did you stop? Ye Suiyun still maintained his posture and said: "Grandma said that this move is called 'Dragon Roar Nine Days' is the strongest style, you need to accumulate strength and then play, I can't accumulate strength, so I have to put it out for you to see." Wei Qiwu nodded and said, "Okay, you can continue." Ye Suiyun practiced all the way, and in Wei Qiwu's eyes, he was both offensive and defensive, which made him secretly surprised.
After receiving the recruitment, Ye Suiyun looked at Wei Qiwu and was quite embarrassed, thinking that he always lost to others with this palm, and it was definitely not worth it in the eyes of a master like Wei Qiwu.
Wei Qiwu was silent for a long time, as if in a daze. Ye Suiyun smiled and said, "Brother Wei must also think it's mediocre, right?" ”
Wei Qiwu looked serious and asked, "Is this your family martial arts?" Ye Suiyun nodded. Wei Qiwu said: "It's really a strange thing, in my opinion, this palm technique seems to be quite similar to the 'Dragon Descending Palm' that was lost decades ago," Ye Suiyun was very surprised, nodded and said, "Brother Wei actually knows the name of this palm technique." Hehe, it's a bit of an exaggeration. ”
Wei Qiwu was surprised: "It's really a dragon palm?" Ye Suiyun nodded, and Wei Qiwu said: "Brother Ye, this set of palm techniques is extraordinary." ”
Ye Suiyun shook his head and said: "Brother Wei said that it was funny, I used it to fight with others, and I was subdued by others as soon as I made a move, where can I say that it is extraordinary." With a wry smile on his face, he couldn't help but think of Leng Xiaoxiao, Tang Xiao, and Chang Jiuchun of the Sword Villa, all of whom beat themselves to the ground with a raised hand.
Wei Qiwu said with a smile: "This set of palm moves is exquisite but not complicated, the most important thing is based on the user's cultivation, the stronger the internal force, the stronger the power of the palm." Now you try to add internal force and fight again. ”
Ye Suiyun didn't know how to use internal force at all, so Wei Qiwu taught him how to raise qi from the dantian, how to guide in the veins, how to release it, and so on. But Ye Suiyun did it again, only to feel that the dantian was empty, and there seemed to be no sign of true air rotation at all. Wei Qiwu also felt strange, and thought: "It stands to reason that in the past few months, his current internal strength should have achieved a little, but for some reason he still has no internal strength at all, is it wrong to practice the autumn rain technique?" The two couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so they had to give up.
Ye Suiyun doesn't care whether he is practicing right or not, anyway, if he doesn't practice for a day, he will feel uncomfortable, or practice every day, and every time he meditates, he feels radiant and full of energy. Slowly, the strength of the hands and feet is getting bigger and bigger, but it is just like an ordinary person, and I can't feel any changes in my body. Wei Qiwu didn't know why, so he no longer forced it and let him develop freely.
On this day, Ye Suiyun had just finished meditating, only to hear the lame cell head who was guarding the cell outside saying, "Captain Lu is empty, what wind blew you here?" ”
Another voice replied, "The old lame man is doing well, I am here to bring a prisoner to trial, the young man on death row, and bring him to the interrogation." ”
The old man agreed, walked over and knocked on the iron bar with an iron rod, and said to Ye Suiyun: "You come out, someone wants to look for you." ”
Ye Suiyun's heart trembled, thinking that he was going to interrogate himself, what should come will come eventually, I don't know if he will come back this time? I had no choice but to follow the old lame man to a closed hut, only to see a person standing with his back to him, his hands behind his back, motionless.
The cell boss said, "Let's go in." Pushed Ye Suiyun forward and closed the door.
Ye Suiyun looked around, it was full of torture tools, what kind of leather whip, soldering iron, tiger chair, and big tongs were thrown to the ground, and he felt cold in his heart when he saw it. The man turned around, expressionless, looked at Ye Suiyun from top to bottom, and asked, "Are you Ye Suiyun?" ”
Ye Suiyun was asked by him like this, thinking of the sin he suffered here, his heart was on fire, but he did his best, thinking: "Grandma said, don't lose your courage if a man loses anything, don't let the bad guys look down on him." He looked up and smiled: "Exactly, why didn't that puppy Wang Dingyi dare to come today?" ”
The man nodded and said, "Good boy, it's really a man." No wonder Jiao Tonghui thinks so highly of you. Ye Suiyun looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what trick he was playing.
The man continued: "I am Lu Youshan, and the person you were looking for three months ago was me, but the situation was too dangerous at that time, I had already arrived next to you, and I didn't dare to show up when I saw that you were discovered." Ye Suiyun was overjoyed when he heard this, jumped up, and shouted: "It turned out to be you, you are Tiance's secret agent." ”
Lu Youshan hurriedly made a gesture to him to whisper, nodded with a smile, and said, "Little brother, you have suffered." After speaking, he kept looking Ye Suiyun up and down: "I heard that they broke the tendons of your hands and feet, how do you look like you're fine?" ”
Ye Suiyun thought that he couldn't say this sentence clearly, and there was no need to explain, so he nodded and asked, "Brother Lu, are you trying to save me out?" Can you put the people in the cell across from me with you? ”
Lu Youshan shook his head and said: "Not yet, the Wujiao Pass is heavily guarded, and no one can take anyone out without Wan Zhennan's warrant." Ye Suiyun couldn't help but be disappointed, and his enthusiasm suddenly decreased. Lu Youshan continued: "I came this time to see you on the orders of Commander Jiao, and they were very anxious when they heard what happened to you. Hehe, I didn't expect you to be quite energetic, not like a dying person. ”
Ye Suiyun heard that Jiao Qifo cared about himself very much, and his heart was also excited, and said: "Brother Lu, you let Commander Jiao rest assured, it doesn't matter if you can't go out now, I can wait, but I want to ask you to help me do something." It turned out that he was homesick and hoped that Jiao Qifo would send someone to his hometown to see how his grandmother was doing.
Lu Youshan nodded and said, "Don't worry about this, I will definitely help you do it." Bear with me, and if you have the chance, I will help you escape. ”
After the two finished speaking, Ye Suiyun was put back in the prison, and Lu Youshan instructed the cell boss to treat this prisoner well, and it would be useful in the future, and the cell boss hurriedly agreed, and Lu Youshan left.
Ye Suiyun told Wei Qiwu the whole story, and Wei Qiwu sighed and said: "If I wasn't seriously injured, it would be easy to escape, but my injury will not heal in a day or two, and it will take a few years to be unlucky, so I just recuperate here." ”
Ye Suiyun asked, "Brother Wei, how could you be injured like this with such a high martial arts?" ”
Wei Qiwu nodded, and said with a flat mouth: "My old Wei is not boasting, and my martial arts are passable, but I am not invincible in the world, how can I not be injured?" Naturally, it is not trivial to hurt me. I don't know if you've heard of it, it's the Cardinal Leader Assasin. ”
Ye Suiyunqi said: "Is it the red-clothed sect master?" I didn't expect that the Cardinal Sect was not only powerful in poisoning, but also in martial arts. Thinking of the Cardinal Sect's revenge on him, he was not happy in his heart. If it weren't for Gu Lingling's relationship, I was afraid that my most vicious words would have been scolded long ago.
Wei Qiwu said again: "There are many strong martial arts in the Red Cloth Sect, among which the six holy maidens are all first-class masters, and Assasin is even more unfathomable, just because I stole one thing from him, that's why he hates me so much, haha." He laughed proudly and said, "It's a pity that this thing has long been hidden by me, and he didn't dare to kill me, for fear that he would never find it, so he had to imprison me here." He laughed again.
Ye Suiyun asked curiously, "What is so important?" Wei Qiwu said mysteriously: "The secret of heaven cannot be leaked, you will know in the future." Ye Suiyun also smiled: "I still sell Guanzi, if I don't say it, I won't say it, I'm not rare enough to know." He remembered something again and asked, "By the way, how is Brother Tao Hanting?" When have you met him? ”
Wei Qiwu said: "Actually, I was imprisoned a month earlier than you, and when I saw Brother Tao before, he told me about you, and he praised you a lot." Hehe, this Brother Tao, although he is a good person, but he is a little pedantic, no, even his wife was killed, and he almost died. This time, I gave him a copy of the sword technique obtained from tomb robbery, to ensure that he will improve his martial arts in the future, and I see that he seems to have changed in his heart, and said to me: 'From now on, the white-clothed Meng tastes death, and he will kill all the people and things that the world can't see' Haha, it seems that there will be another person in the rivers and lakes in the future. Ye Suiyun listened very happily, nodded frequently, and asked, "Where did he go now?" ”
Wei Qiwu said: "He went to take refuge in a great person, and now only this person can shelter him, look at your stupid appearance and know that you want to ask, okay, let you increase your knowledge, this person's name is Wang Yifeng, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him 'Snow Devil', and he is the lord of the Valley of the Wicked today." ”
Ye Suiyun was a child, and he was excited when he heard the story, and hurriedly asked: "Why is it called such a nickname, is this person very high in martial arts?" ”
Wei Qiwu said: "This person is naturally the top master in the world, just because he often wears a snow-white robe, as for the word 'demon', haha, he slaughtered more than 70,000 people in a fit of anger that day, what a momentum it is." Ye Suiyun's heart suddenly burst into his heart, and he secretly thought: "Slaughtering the city and killing 70,000 people, it can't all be people who know martial arts, there must be ordinary people among them, that's too undeserved, no wonder this person is called a demon." Thinking of this, Ye Suiyun felt quite unbearable, and thought: "Brother Wei seems to admire this murderous demon king very much, and it seems that he is also a very evil person." His face unconsciously showed a disapproving expression.
Wei Qiwu saw his expression, how could this old Jianghu not understand what Ye Suiyun was thinking, so he said, "Brother Ye doesn't think what he did is wrong?" Hey, it's hard to say things on the rivers and lakes, don't be too rigid about the distinction between good and evil, you don't know the inside story of many things, don't simply believe in what is black and white, these are now told to you that you don't understand, in the future, you will walk the rivers and lakes by yourself, and you will naturally be able to experience it. What would you think if someone closest to you was killed without asking for a reason? ”
Ye Suiyun was stunned for a moment, thinking, "What will happen to me if my dearest person is killed?" It's unimaginable. After thinking about it: "No matter what, you can't kill innocents, at most you can find the murderer to take revenge." If you are a person who has a clear distinction between right and wrong, and whose grievances are clear, how can you anger others. But when I thought so, I couldn't say that, so I didn't answer. Wei Qiwu smiled and shook his head, so he didn't ask anymore.
Ye Suiyun wanted to continue listening to him tell the story, but he didn't want to continue the topic, so he asked, "Is this snow devil the strongest martial artist today?" ”
Wei Qiwu didn't answer directly, but said: "It is said that the general trend of martial arts in the Central Plains is dominated by one sect, two alliances, three demons, four families, five swords and six factions, this sect... Ye Suiyun interjected: "It can't be the Cardinal Sect, right?" Wei Qiwu said angrily: "Do you still want to listen, this kid, don't interrupt me?" Ye Suiyun stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say more.
Wei Qiwu held back a smile, and then continued: "Although the Cardinal Sect has ambitions, with his current strength, he is not qualified enough to rank in the martial arts, and the one sect I am talking about is the Ming Sect. Although Ye Suiyun wanted to ask, he held back, for fear that Wei Qiwu would stop talking in anger.
Wei Qiwu continued: "The two alliances refer to the Haoqi Alliance and the Valley of the Wicked, the two most distinct forces in the rivers and lakes, as long as these two camps are not chaotic in the future, the world can still be peaceful for a while, just because there are too many stakes involved." Seeing that Ye Suiyun closed his mouth tightly and listened with a star, Wei Qiwu nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "The four great families are talking about the four main families in the martial arts, namely the Badao Liu family, the Tibetan Sword Ye family, the Tang family of the Tang Sect and the Changge Yang family. But because it is a family, they think more about family affairs, and they mostly sweep the snow in front of the door, unless it is related to themselves, otherwise they are not too involved in the affairs of martial arts. The five swords are the divine sword weapons that are forged by the Tibetan Sword Villa every ten years, but in my opinion, no matter how god they are, they are just dead things, not worth mentioning. Ye Suiyun nodded vigorously, deeply agreed, and thought secretly: "Neither the Badao nor the Tibetan Sword are good people, and it seems that Tangmen and Changge are not good things." ”
Wei Qiwu said again: "As for the six factions, although they rank last in this statement, in fact, these six factions are the six pillars that really affect the current situation in the Central Plains martial arts. They are Shaolin Temple, Tiance Mansion, Chunyang Palace, Qixiufang, Beggars and Wanhua Valley. The most interesting thing is this Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, strictly speaking, it is not a sectarian, but it is said that the valley is planted with exotic flowers and plants from all over the world, gathering the most strange people and strange people today, what piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, flower tea and medicine workers, there are top characters living there, it sounds like a paradise. The disciples of the valley rarely walk around the rivers and lakes, and will only send people to be present on some particularly important occasions. Ye Suiyun thought that it was no wonder that when the Tibetan Sword Villa slaughtered the Cardinal Sect that day, there were no Wanhua figures, and it seemed that the status of the Tibetan Sword was not very important. He didn't like the Tibetan Sword Villa, so he deliberately wanted to look down on the Tibetan Sword in his heart, which was quite relieved. Thinking of Tang Xiao and Murong Yunqing, disciples of Wanhua Valley who met by chance on the side of the road a few months ago, and finally helped him and Gu Lingling, he finally couldn't help but say, "All kinds of skills are top-notch, so what about the martial arts in them?" Is it also top-notch? ”
Wei Qiwu no longer blamed him for asking this time, and said: "Of course, it is good to talk about martial arts, but what distinguishes him from other sects is that in addition to martial arts, he can also freely practice various miscellaneous arts. To put it mildly, the entire rivers and lakes are ******** studying martial arts, and they have all trained to be martial artists, but who can guarantee that they will always be better than others. Like the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, it is not confined to one door, and it is the most admirable to truly achieve a hundred flowers and be inclusive. Ye Suiyun nodded, hazy seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand.
Wei Qiwu continued: "You just asked me if this blood demon's martial arts are the strongest, and I said that. In this statement, it is these three demons that only refer to people, it can be seen that they are indeed extraordinary, but if you want to say that the strongest is not necessarily, hehe, although the three demons are strong, where can they compare to the Sword Saint, except for Fang Qian and Nie Xiaotian back then, who can walk out of a hundred moves under his hands without being defeated. ”
Ye Suiyun's interest increased, and through Wei Qiwu's description earlier, he learned that the Autumn Rain Technique he cultivated was written by the Sword Saint, and he was very curious about this master who had never met before, and asked, "Is the Sword Saint the first in the world?" Who are this Fang Qian and Nie Xiaotian? ”
Wei Qiwu said: "If the Sword Saint is the number one in the world, I think no one should have any objections, but unfortunately he died many years ago." Fang Qian is also a great strange person, this person is really proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and martial arts are also unfathomable, more than 30 years ago, in order to prove that he is the first in the world, he made an appointment to fight the Sword Saint in Tianzi Peak, the two of them compare everything, not to mention, this Fang Qian is indeed powerful, except for martial arts, he does not lose the Sword Saint, but in the end, in the martial arts competition, he lost half a move. This person is also cautious, he loses if he loses, and he doesn't admit it, so he has to record his martial arts on the mountain wall, saying that he wants to tell future generations that his martial arts are by no means worse than the Sword Saint, hehe, this is also a generation of masters, but he can't let go of such things. Oh yes, the Lord of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers is his son. ”
Ye Suiyun's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, and he said, "The realm of these seniors is really unimaginable. In my heart, I admired the Sword Master even more.
Wei Qiwu continued: "The most pity is that the generation of heroes Nie Xiaotian is a person, and his martial arts are also to the extreme, but he never participates in the battles in the rivers and lakes, and he never fights for anything, but he is chivalrous and righteous, and he is anxious for people's difficulties, which is admirable." This person wanders the rivers and lakes, and has no fixed place to live, and whenever he sees something unfair about the suffering person, he will definitely lend a hand. There are too many people he has helped him, but no matter who wants to find him, he can't find it, unless he himself wants to see you. Back then, I heard that he knew about an injustice, and he bravely entered the palace alone, and killed a eunuch who did evil, and at that time, the eighteen masters of Ouchi besieged him, and he used a point to point to nine of them, and the rest were only injured. plus hundreds of thousands of forbidden army guards, he can't be kept. When he was leaving, he said that the master of Ouchi would not kill him, so he would not kill him. Now it sounds like a legend. No matter who it is on the rivers and lakes, he has to stretch out his thumb when he comes to it, and then I heard that because of a secret decisive battle with the Sword Saint that no one can say, no one knows what the result is, only that the Sword Saint was injured and came back, and since then the Sword Saint has never moved with anyone, and he did not say the result of the competition at that time until he died. But Nie Xiaotian has disappeared from the rivers and lakes since then, and he has never heard any news from him again, and no one has been able to say why. So people guessed that although the Sword Master was injured, he won after all, and Nie Xiaotian died. But no one can come up with any evidence, and this has become the biggest mystery in the martial arts for decades. ”
Ye Suiyun's palms were sweating when he heard this, he only felt that such a character was the real hero, and his heart couldn't help but be full of yearning, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Can't you find any clues?" ”
Wei Qiwu thought about it, sighed, the light in his eyes flashed, and said slowly: "If you really want to check, I'm afraid only Yin Yuan will have this ability." ”
