The barge traveled all the way west.

Shen Jinan stood on the bow of the boat with a calm demeanor, and the boat boss on the side praised: "Childe, it is rare for you northerners to be able to take a boat like you. ”

Shen Jinan explained: "There are many plains in the north and are good at riding and shooting, and there are many rivers and hills in the south, and they are good at water warfare. Both of them have their own merits. “

The boss of the boat affirmed: "Childe's words are true, we have seen a lot of the world from south to north, but it is rare to see someone like Childe who exudes wealth and wealth." “

Shen Jin'an looked at his somewhat shabby clothes and said, "Boss of the boat, aren't you making fun of me, even if you say so, I don't have any extra money for you." “

When the captain heard Shen Jin'an's answer, he was not angry and laughed: "Guest officer, look at what you said, although I dare not say that I have seen the world, but I have also trained a little eyesight, most of those who wear gold and silver are the children of some businessmen, and most of the people who wear mink and jade are the children of some official eunuchs." In any case, these people have a common habit, that is, they are eager to write the word "rich" on their faces. But you are different from them, and you always have an indescribable sense of wealth and nobility. However, you don't need to tell me your identity, the right is just for the two of us to chat first, this road is too long, if you can't find some fun for yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive for many years. “

Shen Jin'an didn't answer, and seemed to acquiesce to the words of the ship boss.

The barge came to a falling slope, and the height of the boat was a fixed number, but the boat boss didn't expect that Shen Jin'an's feet were like taking root, letting the water ripple.

"This son, you don't have ten or eight years of water experience in this behavior, but you can't do it." The boat boss also expressed his curiosity to Shen Jin'an.

Shen Jinan also said very frankly: "When I was young, I often came to Jiangnan with my family, but at that time when I was younger, an uncle surnamed Yuan taught me not to walk on the water, but to learn to go with the flow. ”

Hearing Shen Jin'an's words, the boat boss also laughed a few times and said, "I see, I see." ”

"Ship boss, where are we?" Shen Jinan asked.

The boat boss smiled and said: "We just passed by the Dragon King's Nest, which was the place where the last emperor of Xishu jumped off the cliff, and our people here say that the reefs here are all turned into the souls of the last emperor after his death." The purpose is to make the waterway impassable, although there are a lot of rumors, but this is indeed the most dangerous place, but Childe, you put your heart in your stomach steadily, our ship is strong, if an ordinary boatman comes here, no matter how familiar he is with the water, as long as he is entangled in the whirlpool, he has to give us obediently hit the reef and sink the ship. The dragon king's nest rises four times a year, so the boat from the hills will only sail so many times. But Childe, I advise you to go back and rest for a while, for a while the wind and waves will be strong, and if it is blown, it will be infected with the wind and cold. “

Shen Jin'an naturally knew the story of the Xishu Emperor told by the boat boss, and everything else was seen in books, but the experience of the Xishu Emperor was what Shen Jin'an saw with his own eyes, because it was Huo Ping, who was only sixteen years old at the time, who killed the Xishu Emperor with his own hands.

The mountain road in Xishu is difficult, and it can be regarded as a natural barrier, which should be the land of dragon veins, but because of this, the last emperors of Xishu began to sing songs every day, completely ignoring the lives and deaths of the people.

The Huo family was originally a big family in Xishu, and for generations, they have made suggestions for Xishu, and Huo Ping's father Huo Fu was a loyal minister dedicated to the people, but he also offended Liu Shan, the last emperor of Xishu, and was not only executed by Ling Chi, but also connected the Huo family to the nine clans.

Huo Ping escaped alive under the protection of the housekeeper and was rescued by Shen Yue.

From that day on, Huo Ping followed Shen Yue with all his heart, but Shen Yue did not live up to Huo Ping.

When Huo Ping rushed for a hundred miles and entered the palace, the whole palace was surrounded by his laughter.

After Liu Shan was personally stabbed by Huo Ping, all the officials of the entire Xishu were surrendered to the Huayang court. Only the Chinese book made Chen Anning die, and the whole family of thirty-nine lives came to protect the reputation of the Xishu Palace.

It is a pity that his daughter Chen Cong was 28 years old and was taken away by a white silk before she got married.

Shen Yue admired the Chen family, not only buried his family, but also ordered Huo Ping to wear linen and filial piety to keep his spirit for three days.

During that period of time, the people of Xishu had mixed opinions about Shen Yue's family, some people said that they killed innocents indiscriminately, and some people said that they respected and were loyal and good, until the Shen family army left Shu and the Huayang army entered Shu, these things came to an end.

After Pengshui County, it is not far from the gateway of Xishu.

Pengshui County Mountain is level, and it has always been a place for soldiers, and Murong Di, the clan vassal king of the Huayang Dynasty, is located here.

Since the founding of the Huayang Dynasty, it has promised the people of the world that the king will die and the Son of Heaven will guard the country.

However, the Son of Heaven is naturally weak in the matter of garrisoning the frontier, so he simply sent his biological brother to the frontier to settle the domain.

Except for Shen Yue, the only prince of the opposite sex, the rest are some Murong heirs, who not only hold the military power to defend one side, but also divide the taxes under their jurisdiction into two with the imperial court.

Murong Di, the king of Western Shu, is even more heavily armed, not only controlling the entire land of Western Shu, but also bloody suppression of those who intend to rebel against the Southern Barbarians, and the 50,000 wolf soldiers of Western Shu under his command are known as unparalleled in foot combat, and their reputation is even closer to that of the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry.

Dividing the kings is an important means to maintain the peace of the world, and after all, it is your own family that will reassure the emperor.

The peak turns around, and the already steep cliffs are full of strange rocks, and the turning place can't help but be a little smaller. The barge with its solid hull is difficult to move in the turbulent current.

What are you doing and what are you drinking, but he is very calm about the boat boss who eats on the water all the year round, not only commanding the barge to swim left and right, but even passing by the reef in several dangerous shoals, and the little five sons who watched it were even more frightened.

Shen Jin'an stood on the bow of the boat again, looking at the cliffs on both sides with a heavy face, but the blind Tang Wuxin didn't know when he came behind Shen Jin'an and said: "Since you kid got on the boat, I have seen that if you have something on your mind, why don't I feel at ease with the old man?" “

Shen Jin'an hurriedly shook his head and said, "You are laughing, you are just thinking about something else." “

Tang Wuxin nodded and said, "Your doll is not very old, and your mind is too careful and scheming. Where is a little bit of the sunshine of young people, to tell you the truth, if you want to martial arts, the more difficult it is to become a big weapon, you see that those who can be famous in the rivers and lakes are some people who are as wise as fools. Some roads require thought, and some minds also depend on luck. “

Shen Jin'an said smoothly: "Then what do you think I can go if I cultivate martial arts?" “

Tang Wuxin said straightforwardly: "I'm afraid that being able to cultivate to the second stage of the human level is almost the end." “

Shen Jin'an pursed his lips and said, "Your old man is really good at talking. ”

Tang Wuxin touched the beard on his chin and said: "The truth is always hurtful, martial arts are different from others, and sometimes it is not as good as chance, and if you want to enter the ground level, if you don't have much opportunity, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult." “

"I still wanted to have time to practice martial arts, but if you say that, I don't seem to have a chance at all." Shen Jin'an quipped.

Tang Wuxin saw this, so he said with interest: "Your doll starting point is already a lot higher than others, if you want to make achievements in martial arts, it's not that there is no way." ”

"Oh?" Shen Jin'an came and asked with interest: "Say it quickly." “

Tang Wuxin chuckled and said, "Worship me as a teacher, I can do everything I can to you, and even the body protection poison miasma can be passed on to you." ”

Shen Jin'an really didn't expect Tang Wuxin to wait for him here, and said with a smile: "You really caught the kid off guard when you said this." “

Tang Wuxin saw that Shen Jin'an didn't say anything, so he had to leak a look of disdain and said, "Do you think the old man is lying to you?" To tell you the truth, if ordinary people kneel here and beg me, I may not agree, you don't have to be cheap. “

Shen Jin'an hurriedly shook his head and said, "Naturally I didn't mean that, I'm just curious about the time when apprenticeship is not important to people in martial arts?" I am flattered that you suddenly mentioned this, boy. “

Tang Wuxin replied: "That's the case, apprenticeship is very important for people in martial arts, but the old man I have been alone for half my life, and I don't care about those so-called false names, all I want is to pass on my skills to future generations, as for why I chose you kid, I'm afraid I look at you more pleasing to the eye, you must know that the cultivation of that bull-nosed old way is far inferior to me, but he can trap me in Cuiwei Mountain for decades, I reflect on half a life, and finally attribute it to scheming, you kid scheming." “

"I'm afraid that's not what you really think." Shen Jin'an broke Tang Wuxin's little Jiujiu with a word.

Tang Wuxin didn't pay attention to Shen Jin'an's words at all, but said lightly: "I really can't hide anything from you kid, if it weren't for my blindness, I must take a good look at what you look like, I accept you not only like this, the relationship between you and Yuan Gang is not ordinary, if I teach you to become a martial arts master, if you have a chance to win Yuan Gang in the future, it is equivalent to me beating Yuan Gang, this is my wish for half my life." “

Seeing that Shen Jin'an didn't reply, Tang Wuxin asked: "Boy, you have thought about it, you must know that although the old man has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes for many years, he has never retreated from the skills in his hands, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes who are willing to worship me as a teacher." “

Shen Jin'an nodded and said: "Of course I know these things, but what I think about is how to let the world know that you are my master." ”

Hearing this, Tang Wuxin hurriedly shook his head and said: "This is not necessary, I am a member of the Tang Sect, according to the rules of the Tang Sect, I can't easily accept apprentices, and I can only point one or two for you, as for how much you can comprehend, it is still in your own understanding, in this way, it will neither break my master's covenant, nor will it destroy my desire for revenge, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone." ”

Shen Jin'an heard that the Tang Sect still had such strange rules, so he was curious: "There is also such a strange request? What is Tang Men trying to do this? “

Tang Wuxin also said with a disdainful face: "Ghost knows, it should probably be a fame and reputation." For those people, walking the rivers and lakes is just a name for the left and right. But in the eyes of the old man, the increasing prosperity of Huayang martial arts is the most important, a hundred years ago, Huayang martial arts flowers bloomed, but later more and more people accepted it as a means to earn money for themselves, which led to the decline of the West Mountain, the old man I look down on this kind of behavior the most. By depriving young people of their martial arts future, they can enrich their pockets and improve their status. “
