The hero meets Yueyang Tower for the first time

In addition to practicing and reading, Chao Jiuli often talks with Nan Jiyun about analyzing ancient and modern historical figures, asking Nan Jiyun to understand why they can be famous for a hundred years, or leave a stench for thousands of years, as a reference, so that Nan Jiyun has a deeper understanding of right and wrong, loyalty and treachery, and governing the troubled times.

Time passed, seven years later, and by 748, Nan Jiyun had grown from a teenager to a burly man with a length of more than seven feet and five inches.

On an early spring night, Chao Jiuli returned to the mountain from the market, looking at Nan Jiyun who was practicing the Dharma under the moonlight.

Chao Jiuli beckoned to Nan Jiyun, who had just finished practicing the martial arts, and said slowly: "Brother, what the eldest brother thinks is suitable for your qualifications, and what can be taught to you has been completely taught to you, and the rest depends on the brother's own hard work.

Nan Jiyun stood up, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, you have taught me carefully, and the younger brother is foolish and can't understand what if, the eldest brother is laughing at me."

Chao Jiuli waved his hand and said, "Brother doesn't have to be too humble, you can have this entry, and I feel quite accomplished for my brother!" But that's not what I'm going to tell you tonight!"

Nan Jiyun said, "Big brother, please speak!"

Chao Jiuli nodded and said: "Although you and I live in seclusion here, my brother has not neglected to pay attention to the court and the people of the community. You and I will say goodbye tomorrow morning, two years later, on the night of the Lantern Festival in Chang'an, the brother's will be properly arranged, you go to the east of Chang'an City next to the Daqing Temple, as long as you see a man in a blue coat and a white hat and a flying dragon nine-section whip tied around his waist, then he will report the secret words Tiangang and the earth are one, if he can gather in pairs with the Xuanwu Vermilion Bird, then someone will lead you to see me, brother, don't worry about not finding me!"

Nan Jiyun didn't expect the parting to come so quickly, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, I'll go with you to do something, and you can have one more person to help."

Chao Jiuli said with a smile: "Brother, you have more important things to do, that is, to go to the rivers and lakes to make friends with talented people, find more like-minded friends, and seek great things in the future, serve the imperial court, and have more helpers." The use of people in the imperial court is limited to the door, the imperial examination, how many heroes have no way to serve the country, and when the troubled times are in the future, talent decides everything, remember, remember!!"

Over the years, Chao Jiuli and Nan Jiyun have gotten along day and night, although they are called righteous brothers, they are actually the same as the father and son of master and apprentice.

That night, the two didn't sleep all night, Chao Jiuli repeatedly explained how to recognize people, to be careful of the risks of the rivers and lakes, and also reminded Nan Jiyun to know more about people's hearts, knowing people's hearts is everything is clear, and everything will be solved by thinking from human nature.

On the occasion of parting, Chao Jiuli handed Nan Jiyun a single knife, a dagger, a long hammer and gold leaf, each cabinet (similar to the current bank) book stickers (money vouchers) a number of coiled, this long hammer is very peculiar, the whole body is jet black, even the blood block (gun tassel) is also black, usually can be split into three connected sections, there are steel wires connected, the first section contains a hammer head about three feet two inches with leather sleeve protection, the last two sections are about two feet nine inches long, the handle is bracketed, as long as you lift the machine bracket, the steel wire in the handle is tightened, It will make the original three-section long hammer into a long hammer about nine feet long, and the hammer head is forged from iron and can be replaced.

The name of this is called: Flowing Cloud Thorn.

It turned out that Chao Jiuli saw that Nan Jiyun was good at the magic method, and his skills were extraordinary, as long as he practiced well, he would be invincible in the future, so he took advantage of the time to go down the mountain, looking for a master and a good craftsman to create this sharp blade as a parting gift.

Nan Jiyun felt his brother's expectations and care for him, and couldn't help but burst into tears, crying and bowing to Chao Jiuli for eight times.

Chao Jiuli did not shy away from it, helped Nan Jiyun up, remembered the old feelings, the righteousness of worship, and couldn't help shedding tears and said: "Brother Xian, you and I are intersecting, you are in the heart and soul of each other, like-minded, the mission of the family and the country must not be forgotten for a day, and the care of the people of Li can not be forgotten for a day, so that the ambition of my generation of martial arts students will not be in vain, and I will live up to the bloody nature of you and me, and the bloody nature of the man with a good head.

Chao Jiuli and Nan Jiyun are separated in Lushan, Nan Jiyun first walked for a day to the west, and Chao Jiuli walked for a day to the north to do important things, and there is no table here.

However, it is said that Nan Jiyun goes all the way to the west, and the beautiful mountains and rivers of South China are very different from those in the north, and Nan Jiyun pays attention to the customs and customs of various places, and as long as he has leisure, he will practice hard, and he will not dare to slack off.

On this day, I came to the Dongting Lake in Yuezhou, Jiangnan West Road, and saw a high-rise building standing next to the lake.

Yueyang Tower was originally called Baling City Tower, it was the military parade building built by Lu Su, the general of the Three Kingdoms era, and it was originally a high-rise building that Lu Su raised to train the naval army in Dongting Lake.

During the Western Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was renamed Baling City Tower, one of the famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were many literati and ink writers in the Middle and Tang Dynasty who boarded the building to write poems and couplets, so that Yueyang Tower had the elegant name that the world's famous people should come here, and the literati and ink people gathered together.

Although Nan Jiyun is not a literati, since he is here, of course, he must go up to the heights and look far away, and be contaminated with some Jiangnan literature.

Yueyang downstairs is adjacent to Dongting, looking at Jun Mountain in front of it, leaning on the Yangtze River in the north, and it is really "Dongting Tianxia Water, Yueyang Tianxia Upstairs".

Nan Jiyun climbed the Yueyang Tower and felt even more open-minded.

At this time, a scholar dressed as a young man also went upstairs, only to see the boy, seven feet four inches long, with a flowing body, a rectangular face, thin cheeks, two thick eyebrows, slightly thin lips, and a proud color. After looking around, the boy walked to the east to watch the view.

At this time, many people gathered upstairs, the people were boiling, so it was not noisy, a lean man hurriedly came upstairs, leaned towards a big man in Tsing Yi a little farther away from the south head, bowed his head and attached his head to the ear of the big man in Tsing Yi in the south and whispered in the black words of the rivers and lakes: "Step on the plate (to find out the object to be robbed)....Idea pestle head sea (the object is very rich, quite a lot of money)... Scoop Target (Gang Boss) in... East of Yueyang City... At the time of the third watch..... Zhang Yuanwai... Hanging (of the nursing home)"

Although the lean man's voice was low and far away, Nan Jiyun had been tempered for several years, but he was deaf and clear-sighted, and he actually heard six or seven percent in such a noisy place.

Nan Jiyun thought to himself, "It turned out to be a robber, but this is not to be ignored!"

Inadvertently glanced at the young man, the young man happened to also look at Nan Jiyun, the two of them touched their eyes, and saw that the young man's gaze was like cold electricity, which was terrifying, and Nan Jiyun's heart was cold.
