Chapter 53: Visiting Father in Distress
215
Let's say that Long Zixi and his entourage returned to Baocheng in a few days.
Hua Dining, Bao Hongde and others then learned about what happened, and couldn't help but sigh at Prince Ding's move, and sighed at everyone for turning the danger into relief.
When everyone heard that Long Zixi had given the sword spectrum that had been stolen back to the immortals of the Western Regions, they all felt pity and were a little indignant.
Lv Yixiang said:
"Hey, I'm ashamed, it's all us who have dragged our feet, if the young man is alone, it will be easy to get out of danger! As a result, in order to save everyone, the half of the sword book that was finally retrieved was lost to the old thief! ”
Long Zixi hurriedly said:
"Where did the brother come from? In my Long Zixi's heart, brothers......"
Speaking of which, I glanced at Zhuo Ermei:
"And, of course, the lives of the sisters, more than anything else!"
Zhuo Ermei smiled, but "hummed":
"You don't have to look at me deliberately, I think only that princess is more important than anything else!"
Hua Dining and Bao Hongde saw Zhuo Ermei for the first time, and saw that she was naturally beautiful with a bit of wildness, and she was really cute, and they both liked her very much.
The crowd shuddered for a while.
Hua Dining saw that everyone was tired, and ordered everyone to rest.
Long Zixi was worried about the princess in his heart, and when he saw everyone leaving, he hurriedly asked Hua Dining:
"Why, hasn't the princess arrived yet?"
Zhuo Ermei didn't leave, and when she heard Long Zixi ask about the princess, her face turned angry:
"How? I know that you have been thinking about the princess, and someone else is marrying someone else. Do you think that the 'other' is you? ”
Long Zixi glared at her:
"Okay, don't make trouble, my brother is down to business!"
Zolmei pouted:
"Hmph, I'm down to business."
Hua Dining smiled:
"Don't worry, girl. Your 'business', my brother will do it for you! ”
Zoermei sat aside and didn't speak.
Hua Dining said to Longzi West:
"That's it. I have always felt strange, and I sent someone to investigate, and I heard that Shen Hou encountered a lot of trouble when he entered the palace this time, so he delayed it for a long time, but the specific situation is not very clear. ”
The two guessed back and forth, but they couldn't guess why the princess hadn't arrived for a long time, but they vaguely felt that something must have happened.
Hua Dining said again:
"There are two days left before the Chinese New Year. I don't think the princess will come a year ago. It's better to wait for the New Year. ”
Long Zixi could only agree.
Next, Zhang Luo celebrated the New Year, but Long Zixi was not very happy because of something in his heart, so there is no need to elaborate.
216
I didn't feel that it was already past the fifth day of the first month.
On this day, after lunch, Zhuo Ermei was talking to Long Zixi, and Hua Dining suddenly came and took a person.
When Zhuo Ermei saw the man, he exclaimed in surprise:
"Brother! You...... What are you doing here? ”
Long Zixi took a closer look, and the one who came with Hua Dining turned out to be Gatula's eldest son, the ancient capital.
The Chinese of the ancient capital was not too good, and he bowed his hand to Longzi Xi, and turned to Zhuo Ermeidao:
"Father, I'm sick, go back and see."
When Zhuo Ermei heard that her father was sick, she was already anxious, and hurriedly asked Wugudu, how sick is her father, but it is also serious?
The ancient capital is more than a comparison, but it is not very clear.
Longzi West Road:
"My sister asked what it was doing. Why don't you go back right away with your brother! ”
With tears in her eyes, Zhuo Ermei nodded.
Hua Dining said busily:
"Brother, wait! How about just the two of you going? Let's talk about it. ”
At that moment, everyone was found, and finally it was agreed that the third brother Fang, the fourth brother Fang, and Qin Shijie would accompany Long Zixi and Zhuo Ermei together.
Wardinin prepared a number of gifts for Zhuoermei and loaded a carriage.
A few people packed up their ropes and rode horses in the direction of Xirong Kingdom.
217
On this day, while the crowd was walking, suddenly some horses came out of front of them.
Everyone was startled and couldn't help but raise their vigilance.
But he saw a few horses galloping over, and when he got closer, a young man looked at everyone and bowed his hand to Long Zixi:
"Excuse me, but is it Long Shaoxia?"
Long Zixi looked at it carefully, vaguely recognized, and suddenly remembered:
"Your Excellency...... Could it be Wei Yi's son? ”
That young man was indeed the son of the nearby mountain king Wei Yi.
Listening to Long Zixi's question, the young man replied in a loud voice:
"Not bad! It is under that. I didn't expect to meet a benefactor here! I asked the young man to come with me and talk to my father. ”
Long Zixi knew that Zhuo Ermei was in a hurry to leave, and said:
"Please regain your father, Long Zixi and his entourage are in a hurry, it is inconvenient to delay, and we will meet again on another day."
The young man said:
"My father is not far ahead, and I won't be able to delay for long, no matter what, please ask the benefactor to meet my father!"
Long Zixi looked at the crowd, they all nodded, and everyone continued to move forward with the young man.
After walking less than five miles, I saw an inn on the side of the road, with a few horses tied to the door.
Before the young man had dismounted, he cried out:
"Father, Long Shaoxia has arrived!"
There was a person in the inn who hurriedly came out, it was Wei Yi, the king of the mountain.
That Wei Yi laughed, hurried to catch up, and grabbed Long Zixi's hand:
"Wouldn't it be nice to meet Long Shaoxia? Haha, come into the house, you have to have a few drinks! ”
When everyone saw that it was almost noon, it was the mouth, and they did not shirk and entered the store.
There was already a table of food prepared.
Everyone sat down and introduced each other.
That Wei Yi had also heard the names of the Fang family brothers and the three masters of the Qin family, and he was very happy.
Wei Yi's son was originally called Wei Cen.
That Wei Yi was in a good mood, and while asking everyone to eat and drink, he said:
"Last time, I had to be young and benevolent and spare the children. This kindness is not forgotten from time to time, and I just want to repay it! ”
Long Zixi smiled:
"If you truly reciprocate, just do more good deeds!"
Wei Yi laughed:
"Exactly! Don't hide it from Shaoxia that after that, the child has changed a lot, and he will no longer hurt people's lives. ”
Long Zixi asked cautiously:
"I don't know ...... you look like an ordinary thief."
That Wei Yi already knew what Long Zixi wanted to ask, sighed, and said:
"I was originally a patriot, and I was originally a martial artist of a dart bureau, but I was ruined by the old thief of the immortals in the Western Regions, and only two of us were left. Alas, it goes without saying.
After vowing revenge, he followed the old thief to Xijon, but he stabbed him several times, but he was not an opponent, and he almost took his life.
Later, Zai simply stayed in Xirong and pulled up this team, just looking for an opportunity to take revenge.
"Well, let's not talk about what's going on. Where is the young man going? ”
Long Zixi told about accompanying Zhuo Ermei home to visit his father.
When Wei Yi heard this, he said:
"Since this girl is going home to visit her father, it is indeed not appropriate to delay. When you return, no matter what, please go to the village for a few more days! ”
After eating at the moment, Wei Yi will give a lot of money to Long Zixi, Long Zixi repeatedly refused, then Wei Yi saw that Long Zixi was bold, and he didn't insist.
Subsequently, Wei Yi personally sent fifty or sixty miles to return to his own village.
218
Long Zixi and his entourage went on the road again, and after another day, they came to Wudou Village.
Gatula's other son, Bakii, greeted him at the head of the village and led the group directly to Gatula's room.
When Na Zhuo Mei saw his father lying on the bed, he had already pounced.
Gatulazi was also overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to touch Zhuo Ermei's head, and Zhuo Ermei couldn't stop looking at it.
Seeing that Zhuo Mei was sobbing, Bakiyi persuaded:
"Sister don't worry. Lang Zhong said that his father was just suffering from the wind and cold, and he had already taken medicine several times, so he was out of the way. Also...... I miss you very much. ”
When they saw that Nagatula had seen her daughter, they were in good spirits and rejoiced.
In the evening, the Ugudu and Bakiyi sat in the east to feast on everyone, and there was no need to go into details.
Who knows, at night, Long Zixi somehow started to get sick, not only vomiting and diarrhea, but also having a high fever.
The crowd was busy again.
Please come to Lang Zhong for diagnosis and treatment, and Lang Zhong took Long Zixi's pulse, looked at his tongue, rolled his eyelids again, checked it well, and finally said:
"It turned out that it was not adapted to the water and soil, coupled with excessive fatigue, and yin and yang imbalance. After taking my medicine, I will raise it for another seven or eight days, and I will be safe. ”
Na Zhuo Ermei has to take care of her father, and she is also worried about Long Zixi, so she has to work at both ends.
After another two days, Nagatula was well enough to walk on the ground.
Although Long Zixi also stopped diarrhea and regained a high fever, he was very weak and only lay in bed every day and slowly recuperate.
On the afternoon of this day, the two were gossiping when they suddenly heard a noise outside.
Zhuo Ermei hurriedly ran out to look, and after a while, she ran back again, and her face changed greatly:
"Not good! What kind of immortal and a general named Manyasu came. Brought a lot of people with me! ”
Long Zixi was surprised:
"What have they done here?"
Zhuo Ermei opened his mouth to speak, but he stopped again. Then he said:
"I guess it's still a matter of conscription, and I don't care about him."
Although Zhuo Ermei said this, Long Zixi had already seen that Zhuo Ermei was very nervous.
was about to continue asking, but saw the Fang family brothers and Qin Shijie hurriedly come in.
Third Brother Fang entered the door and said:
"The immortals of the Western Regions and a general are here, it seems to be ...... It seems to be coming for Miss Zhuoermei. Old man Gatula is negotiating with them. If you find out that your brother is also here, I'm afraid it will be bad for your brother. But how? ”
As he spoke, the Ugudus also hurried into the house.
The ancient capital also entered the door without saying a word, only called "Hurry up!" ”
At this time, Long Zixi was not allowed to think too much, and several people helped Long Zixi up, opened the back door, and went to the backyard.
Wugudu set up a carriage in three times and two times, and everyone helped Long Zixi to the car, and led Long Zixi's horse again, and several people got on the horse and ran back to the mountain.
When the Wugu saw everyone leaving, he randomly found a two-toothed rake, carried it and hurried to the front yard.
219
Let's say that the people in Longzixi went out of the back door, and after a while, they arrived at the ridge, and when they looked back, there was already thick smoke in the village.
Na Zhuo Ermei was worried about her father and brother, she cried a lot, and she was about to rush down the mountain several times, but it was the Fang family brothers who hugged her.
Long Zixi was also very anxious, he wanted to struggle several times, but he was weak, how could he get up?
Qin Shijie shouted:
"In today's situation, the only way to get out of danger is to get out of danger first!"
When he had finished speaking, he whipped the horse, and the horse kicked its hooves, pulled the carriage and ran, and the people got on the horse and followed.
The people didn't know the road, they only picked up the road and ran away, and ran out of the road seven or eight miles early.
Zhuo Ermei was already emotionally stable at this time, and knew that it was useless to be anxious, but calmed down, looked at the road, and said:
"Four or five miles further on, there is a fork in the road. The official road on the left leads to Hokyung! ”
The people followed Zhuo Ermei's instructions and walked four or five miles, and sure enough, they saw a fork in the road.
The crowd did not hesitate and continued to run down the road on the left.
After running for more than ten miles, I saw that this road was converging with a major road.
Everyone knew that this road was the official road leading to Hokyung, so they continued to run along the road.
After a journey, it was getting late, but the road led to the mountains.
When I entered the mountains, I couldn't go seven or eight miles, and I heard someone shouting behind me:
"The traitor in front of him is gone!"
Then came the sound of horses' hooves.
When they looked back, they saw a caravan of horses, about thirty or forty men, hurrying forward.
The person in the lead is vaguely the immortal of the Western Regions.
The people of Longzixi had no choice but to whip and urge the horses and continue to gallop.
Long Zixi drove the carriage, but he couldn't run fast, and everyone could only run forward at the speed of the carriage.
Seeing that the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, Third Brother Fang shouted:
"Third Brother Qin protects the brother and the girl to go first!"
He and Fourth Brother Fang turned their horses' heads, danced their swords, and rushed forward against the pursuers.
220
Seeing that the two sides were fifty or sixty steps away, they suddenly saw the pursuer turning on his horse, and there was chaos, and even the immortal of the Western Regions crashed headlong under the horse.
It turned out that someone had pulled up more than a dozen tripwires and tripped the pursuer.
Then, more than 30 horsemen came out of the woods on both sides, and the men on the horses were either knives or spears, forks or sticks, and they fell down against the fallen men.
One of the young men, urging the horse to twist the gun, went straight to the immortals of the Western Regions.
The immortal of the Western Regions fell from his horse, lost his dragon head and crutch, and just stood up, but he fell down again, obviously hurting his leg.
Seeing the young man with a big gun, he had to sit on the ground and resist with a pair of fleshy palms, but how could he resist it?
I had to roll eighteen on the spot and roll to the side.
The young general had already caught up with him, and he shot down again.
The immortal of the Western Regions screamed "That's it" in his heart, injured his right arm, and raised his hand to hit the head of the spear.
The head of the spear was crooked, but it went down the arm and stabbed the right armpit of the immortal in the Western Regions, although it did not hurt the lungs, but it was also blood gushing out, and the pain was unbearable.
The young general was even more merciless, and the big gun pierced again, stabbing directly into the throat of the immortals in the Western Regions.
Just at the last moment, I heard someone shouting:
"Hugh the wounded immortals!"
Then, with a "whoosh", an arrow hit the young man's left arm.
Then, I saw a black-robed general, wielding a big sword, followed by more than 20 horsemen, and came forward.
The young general injured his left arm, and with a gun in his right hand, he shouted at the Fang brothers while resisting the black-robed general:
"Let's go, tell Brother Zixi, I Weicen will repay him for his great favor today!"
Only then did the Fang brothers know that this young general was Wei Cen, the son of Wei Yi.
Seeing the scuffle between the two sides, the Fang family brothers had no time to think about it, turned their horses' heads and ran down again.
The black-robed general saw that there was a carriage not far ahead, and the Fang family brothers followed after him, so he left Wei Cen behind and led more than a dozen horses to chase down.
Longzixi's carriage was eagerly set between the ancient capitals, but the knots were not very strong, and after running for a long time, they had already loosened.
The horse ran and ran, but he got out of the wheel and ran away on his own, but the cart was on the top, and the right wheel fell early, and he fell to the ground, and lifted Long Zixi to the ground.
When Long Zixi fell, he had already snatched the long sword in his hand, but he didn't care about anything else, and the sword spectrum was wrapped with some sundries and scattered all over the ground.
The black-robed general happened to catch up.
The Fang family brothers slapped their horses to meet them, but were stopped by seven or eight of the black-robed general's men.
Qin Shijie protected Zhuo Ermei, but was also intercepted by five or six horsemen.
The black-robed general went straight to the west of Longzi.
Long Zixi had already sweated through his clothes, although he was still weak, his head was sober, and when he saw the black-robed general coming, he hit it with a dart, hitting the black-robed general's left shoulder.
The black-robed general was startled, but when he saw that the dart was weak and weak, and he didn't hurt himself in the slightest, he was overjoyed, clamped the horse with his legs, pounced in front of Long Zixi, and cut it down with a big knife.
221
said that it was too late, it was fast, and it was early to see that the stabbing was killed, and it was also a big knife swinged, hitting the black-robed general's big knife to the side.
Long Zixi had already seen that the coming general was Wei Yi, the king of the mountain.
Looking around, more than thirty horsemen who followed Wei Yi also joined the battle group.
Na Wei Yi shouted while fighting:
"Young man, go away! But if you don't die today, we'll have a time later! ”
The Fang family brothers and Qin Shijie had already broken away from the battle group at this time and ran to Long Zixi's side.
Seeing that Zhuo Ermei was still holding his horse, Ryuko Nishi struggled to get up, and got on the horse's back with all his strength, and was about to swing his sword into the battle, but he was dizzy and almost fell off the horse.
Na Wei Yi shouted anxiously:
"Long Zixi! Don't fuck mother-in-law mom! The big husband can bend and stretch, do you want us to die in vain! Get out of here, get out, Lao Tzu has his own way out! ”
Long Zixi sighed secretly and shouted at a few people:
"Let's go!"
A few people urged the horses for a while and ran away.
At this time, it was already dark, and Na Wei Yi observed the situation on the battlefield while fighting.
Seeing that there were about 30 or so people on the enemy side, there were also more than 40 people on their own side.
However, there are more than 20 people on his side who are the new force, and the two sides just happened to be evenly matched for a while.
But Wei Yi knew that after fighting for a long time, although he had a little more men and horses than officers and soldiers, he was not an opponent of officers and soldiers in any case.
I saw a young general not far away who was still fighting fiercely, knowing that it was his son.
He made up his mind, let out a long howl, and led the men and horses to fight and retreat.
Na Wei Cen listened to his father's signal, and also greeted, retreated while fighting, and joined forces with Wei Yi after a while.
The crowd went into the woods with a whistle.
The black-robed general saw that it was dark in the woods, and he was worried about the immortals of the Western Regions, so he also withdrew his troops and did not chase them.
Seeing that the immortal of the Western Regions injured his left leg and right armpit, fortunately they were not very serious.
cleaned the battlefield and found that half of the sword spectrum, which was naturally given to the immortals of the Western Regions.
The immortal of the Western Regions got this half of the sword book again, and he didn't care about being injured, so he hurriedly watched it when he returned to the lower place.
This half of Longzixi is mainly a record of the mental method of cultivating internal strength.
When the immortals of the Western Regions saw two pages, they were deeply attracted and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Since then, the immortals of the Western Regions have studied all day long, and they feel more and more wonderful.
After a long time, he had a thorough understanding, and later resigned from the position of protector of the country, went to the mountains to retreat, specializing in studying the mental and swordsmanship, and finally achieved great martial arts.
As a result, he re-accepted the disciples and taught a group of highly accomplished disciples, so that this method of mind could be passed on.
After more than a thousand years, in the Later Liang period, among his disciples and grandchildren, there was such a strange person as Bodhidharma Ancestor, who carried forward this heart method and renamed it "Yijin Sutra".
Later, the ancestor of Bodhidharma moved to Songshan Shaolin Temple and became the founder of Zen Buddhism in the Central Plains.
Such an ancient martial arts book was eventually used by the Han people in the Central Plains, and it was also returned to its original owner.
That's for later.
