Chapter 9: The Son of the Proprietor
To be honest, Lin Fengjin is quite reluctant to bother Mr. Jiuyuan with this matter, this kind of secret thing, it is estimated that as long as you ask, you will have to eat a good meal, but now it seems that the truth is so cruel, if you want to get the specific address of the son of the owner, it is really only to catch the duck on the shelf, and you have to visit.
Fortunately, Lin Fengjin has been in Mr. Jiuyuan for so many years, and his old man's temperament is almost clear, so he chose a good time and slipped over, but after entering, he actually found that the grass house where the guests were received was empty, and when he went inside, he found that there was still no one!
When Lin Fengjin was wondering in his heart, he saw an old servant coming to him, and immediately grabbed it and interrogated it carefully, only then did he know that it turned out that a major incident had happened today! Speaking of which, it has something to do with Lin Fengjin - the sword Dao master Duomu Hao brought by Lin Fengjin actually broke through!!
This Duomu Hao has always been distracted, brave and diligent, after coming here, he met Lu Jiuyuan, an opponent who can be said to be not fast in terms of kendo attainments, and the cultivation that had been stagnant began to loosen, he could have been regarded as a thick accumulation at this time, and after this opportunity, he suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds again.
Unlike Lu Jiuyuan, Tamu Hao has completely focused his life's energy on the sword path, and does not cultivate the rest of the things at all, in this way, although Tamu Hao's personal combat power and even lifespan are far inferior to Lu Jiuyuan, but his practice of "serving the sword all his life" makes it much less difficult for him to advance than Lu Jiuyuan.
"Only the extreme of the knife can reach the Tao. ”
Only when you have achieved such an extreme in swordsmanship can you be qualified to touch the supreme realm of the "Dao" behind it.
At this time, Tamu Hao, who had taken this step, was no longer a sword path master, but had advanced by leaps and bounds. From the way of the sword to enlightenment, as if all things are one, it has become the realm of the great master that everything in the world can be a sword.
Let's put it this way, the strength of Duomu Hao before can only be equal to the thorn slave under Tian Xiangzi at most, but after he took this step, he has already improved a great level, and he can be on an equal footing with Tu Zhang Langqing, Lisa Weng, and others!
It is all the more important to note. Tamu Hao is from the knife into the Tao, the knife master is fierce, killing, powerful, so once you fight with it, you will be born to be affected by this, and be restrained by death, so Tamu Hao's killing power is amazing, even if it is an opponent of the same level. When encountering most of them, it is more likely to lose more and win less.
Why is Mr. Jiuyuan's teaching room empty at this time? It is that Tagi Hiroshi was in retreat a few days ago, and he happened to be out of the customs today, so he found Mr. Jiuyuan to study, which can be said to be a rare sight. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, of course, many disciples will not miss it, and they have gone there and watched strongly.
After Lin Feng heard this. It's just that I immediately feel that it's better to come early than to come by chance, if I am lazy and don't come today, how can I encounter such a good thing. He hurriedly walked over, the pattern here Lin Fengjin can be said to be extremely familiar, but he directly followed the footsteps of everyone and often walked inside.
Then Lin Fengjin saw the side of the chess house built from afar, it can be said that the water is not leaking around the three layers of the outer three floors, it can be said that the crowd is surging, although the name of the chess house has a house word, but in fact it is built in the back garden of a dry pavilion, this pavilion is not big, but it is for the guests who come to visit the garden are tired or rest.
At this time, Lin Fengjin, who was far away, saw that the person who was playing chess in the pavilion had a calm and calm expression, it was the master Lu Jiuyuan, but even when the other person was sitting, the waist board could be said to be standing straight, as if it was a long knife that had just been polished.
This person is none other than Hiroshi Tagi.
Lin Fengjin probably hadn't seen him for more than a month, and when he suddenly saw him, he actually gave birth to a feeling of being a stranger, although his appearance was still the same, but the temperament of the whole person could be said to have completely changed.
Silence, persistence, perseverance,
If you take a closer look, you can even find that there is a deadly danger hidden in his body, as if it is rippling out in a circle.
The previous Tamu Hao was like a peerless weapon hidden in the scabbard, so that the scabbard swallowed and suppressed the edge, but now, it seems that an inch of sharp edge has been slightly exposed at the swallowing place, which cannot be ignored.
In the face of such a Duomu Hao, Lin Fengjin was obviously a little uncomfortable, but he saw the action of him picking up the chess pieces and pointing at the chessboard, I don't know why, but he actually had a feeling that he was slashed in front of him and needed to dodge urgently. Lin Fengjin originally thought that this was his own delusion, but he immediately found that the onlookers actually gasped one after another, and some even made a deflection and subconscious self-protection action, only then did he know that the speed of improvement in Duomu Hao's current cultivation was already jaw-dropping.
However, it can also be seen from this that Duomu Hao is still in the realm of just breaking through and difficult to control his strength at this time, and his own strength is not able to send and receive from his heart, so he will inevitably suffer a big loss when facing the enemy, so Lu Jiuyuan is playing against him, which is to use such an elegant thing to make him slowly adjust his state and state of mind, and slowly form a complete control over his body.
Lin Fengjin stood beside him for a while, and before he knew it, he was already sweating profusely, as if he had fought with a peerless swordsman and a peerless swordsman for hundreds of rounds. Lu Jiuyuan had already discovered this disciple, and when this game of chess was finished, he got up and ordered everyone to disperse, and then called Lin Fengjin to meet him and ask him what his intentions were.
At this time, Lin Fengjin looked at Lu Jiuyuan carefully for a while, it stands to reason that it is very impolite for a disciple to look at the master like this, but it is also peculiar, Mr. Jiuyuan also sat like this and let him watch, and only said after a while:
"What do you see?"
Lin Fengjin was a little stunned and said:
"Why, why can't you feel the sword intent on Lu Shi at all?"
Lu Jiuyuan suddenly laughed, he has always been a stern person who does not smile, and suddenly laughing like this can be said to be extremely rare.
"You're really sensitive, but it's thanks to you. ”
Lin Feng said curiously:
"What does this have to do with me?"
Lu Jiuyuan smiled and said:
"Tamu Hao came this time, accumulated a lot of experience, and made brave progress. Therefore, he was able to break through and be promoted from a sword path master to a great master. But the deeper you explore, the more you feel that different paths are coming to the same place, so I have witnessed the process of his promotion, and I have learned a lot. ”
"Before, being a teacher has always been quite confused, because it seems that there are avenues around you, but if you look closely, it is a dead end. Therefore, he didn't dare to move at all, but now that he has witnessed his breakthrough, the correct path ahead can already be said to be traceable, so the road ahead is hard, but it is also willing. Of course, I can't compare to Tagi Hao, and I put all my physical and mental energy into the sword path, so if I want to break through, it will be ten times more difficult than him. But I finally know the general direction. ”
Lin Fengjin was surprised and delighted when he heard this:
"Then I have to congratulate the master. ”
As soon as Lu Jiuyuan waved his hand, he said casually:
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"
Lin Fengjin hesitated at this time, and asked his master about the whereabouts of his old lover before the old man. But at this time, if Lin Fengjin didn't look for the son of the owner, then he would have to find the Du family who had inherited the wine way, which was an even more mysterious family, and even if there were clues, it was at least one or two hundred years ago
So. Lin Fengjin could only bite the bullet and say:
"This master naturally knows that the disciple got some East China Sea specialties a few days ago?"
Lu Jiuyuan said:
"Hmm, is it the Koshiko Lotus Mist Rice? It's really good, this thing has been eaten for a long time. It doesn't say anything reborn, but it can really strengthen the body and prolong life. ”
Lin Fengjin quickly glanced at Lu Jiuyuan, and said nervously:
"Yes, but when this thing is planted, it needs to be watered with meat fertilizer and vegetable fertilizer, and even more, it will absorb the aura of the surrounding mountains and rivers, and it is very difficult to plant. And this is a specialty of the East China Sea, and after transplanting it to my middle school, it is even more unsuitable."
Mr. Jiuyuan glanced at Lin Fengjin and said curiously:
"This, does this have anything to do with your coming to see me today?"
"Ahem" Lin Fengjin coughed dryly twice and said: "According to many researches, this Yueguang Lotus Mist Rice is mutated from the tea tree, if it is to become suitable for the climate of the Central Plains, it must be improved by a master, and the one who knows the most about tea trees in the world, that, that, Lu Shi, seems to be none other than the son of the owner." ”
As soon as he heard the words "son of the owner", Lu Jiuyuan was also old-faced, very embarrassed, and immediately scolded:
"You are also a dignified person at this time, and you are a leading leader among the younger generation, why do you put your mind on Ah Tuwu all day long?"
Although Lin Fengjin had some objections to this in his heart at this time, of course he would not say it directly, so he could only say it "ashamed":
"Yes, yes, it's just that my father has been in poor health, and the doctor also said that his body is fat and fat, and the deficiency is not replenished, and I can only think of some other ways to fulfill my filial piety, and I didn't expect the effect of this thing to be so good. ”
Lu Jiuyuan sighed, and said after a while:
"I see, you go. ”
Lin Fengjin immediately left as if he had been amnestied, but Lu Jiuyuan should have been stirred up by Lin Fengjin's few words, his eyes seemed ethereal and blurred, and after a while, he suddenly read out a sentence:
"Only the ability to reach the knife can reach the Tao. ”
This sentence is a portrayal of Tagi Hao, who bravely advanced in the path of the sword and achieved the extreme, so he touched the edge of the way. Lu Jiuyuan also felt that he was devoted to kendo without distractions before, and after meeting Tagi Hao at this time, he realized that there were still people in the world who lived and struggled in such a way.
I even found that compared with myself, it was really too much distraction.
He sat upright for a long time and sighed, it was night, and the candle flame in Mr. Jiuyuan's room could not be extinguished for a long time.
The next morning, a guest came outside the Lin Mansion and asked to see Lin Fengjin.
As soon as this guest came, Lin Fengjin was taken aback and said curiously:
"Uncle Liu, why are you here?"
It turned out that this guest turned out to be an old servant under Mr. Jiuyuan, who was considered a housekeeper or something, and it was said that he had been following Mr. Jiuyuan for decades, and although he was nearly eighty years old, he was in good spirits. does not show any old age, and walking is also a tiger.
At this time, although there were many servants, Mr. Jiuyuan's food, clothing, housing and transportation were still in the hands of his old man, and even the tables, chairs, benches, sword books, secret books, and divine weapons were all handed over to him to take care of, which won Mr. Jiuyuan's trust.
Because of this, Lin Fengjin wondered what was going on. The sun came out of the west, and Uncle Liu came to the door.
invited Uncle Liu into the guest room to sit down, but Uncle Liu smiled and waved his hand again and again:
"I'm just here to ask for a letter, I don't know when the son will leave, so I'd arrange it in advance. ”
Lin Feng was stunned and said:
"What letter, what departure?"
Liu Boqi said:
"Brother Yuan (only he can call Mr. Jiuyuan that) didn't you say that you are going to find your aunt and cousin over there in the fourth room? They are in the Eastern Xia Kingdom at this time, and they don't want to see outsiders, so I have to take you there. Otherwise, no matter what kind of cipher or secret letter or the like, they would not be able to find their people at all, and this back and forth journey of thousands of miles. Don't you need to prepare?"
Lin Fengjin listened to Uncle Liu's words, gasped and said:
"The son of the owner is actually in the Eastern Xia Kingdom? This really needs to be prepared. ”
Next, Lin Feng pondered Uncle Liu's words, and immediately found out a lot of information from these words, feeling that Mr. Jiuyuan and the son of the owner are still related by blood. They were relatives before.
But this is also reasonable, seventeen or eighteen years old, a young poor scholar full of the most beautiful vision of love. Talented, it is the time when I don't know the sky and the earth is thick. But I happened to meet a girl who was in her prime, graceful and luxurious, and naturally regarded it as the object of secret love directly in my heart, and of course there would be a spark of passion between the two.
Of course, the final outcome must be a pity.
However, Lin Fengjin couldn't help but think again, if the son of the owner and Lu Jiuyuan really came together, then would there be Mr. Jiuyuan, who is domineering and unparalleled now, and his swordsmanship is at the pinnacle? Of course, this is impossible. Gentle Township is the hero's mound, what you want to gain, then you have to lose something.
It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes.
Once we meet, we will be separated for fifty years, maybe for ordinary people, it will already be loved, loved, and then forgotten, but Lin Fengjin feels at this time that this relationship that has been brewing for fifty years, if it does not fade, it will be like aging, how strong will it be?
Thinking of this, Lin Fengjin couldn't help but shake his head, leaving these useless feelings behind, he was already thinking about the possibility of going to Dongxia at this time.
The last pass of the Qichong Gate is like an iron gate, which closes Lin Fengjin's strength to death, and to be honest, at this time, Lin Fengjin's strength has long surpassed the current realm, only this last step is missing, there is a way to accumulate thick and thin, Lin Fengjin is equivalent to being "thick" to the extreme at this time, only one foot away from the door. However, the identity of the demon is special, and the breakthrough method is also different, not taking the usual path, and changing it to practice other exercises, even if it is self-taught, it must have been broken a long time ago.
In this case, Lin Fengjin was naturally in a hurry to break through the barrier and put this matter in the first place.
And what he is worried about is naturally the problem of the East China Sea Alliance.
In Lin Fengjin's eyes, there is no absolute, he thinks that the possibility of the East China Sea countries coming to attack is not big, but it definitely cannot be said that there is no, in this case, although he has made an early warning system along the coast, once the other party comes to attack, he can also be fully prepared, however, Wu Zuocheng may fight independently with the East China Sea coalition army for a period of time, but, after a long time, he must sit on his own.
Not to mention the rest, just the coordination between the ironclad sword and shield soldiers led by Zhang Lei and the cavalry of the Sanli Division, as well as scheduling, without Lin Fengjin's mediation and mediation, there will definitely be big problems after a long time.
And once he went to Dongxia and had no way to rush back in time, Lin Fengjin was most afraid that this would happen.
(PS: Seeing that some book friends don't understand the significance of setting up a beacon tower, and the difficulty of raiding Wu Zuocheng, I hereby explain, first of all, the risk of crossing the ocean at this time is very great, even if there is no threat of deep-sea monsters, there is also the problem that it is difficult to locate in the vast sea, the countries of the East China Sea crossed the ocean to the Central Plains, and the routes they took were marked out with the wreckage of countless tributary ships for thousands of years. Therefore, along the way, they will also sail some distance to replenish fresh water, food, etc. )
(In this case, if the enemy wants to attack Wu Zuocheng, he will need at least 50,000 people, and these 50,000 people alone will need at least 20 six-masted and seven-masted ships to load, and at the same time, these 50,000 people must bring at least two months' worth of grain, right?) Even if a soldier of the East China Sea Alliance only eats one pound of grain a day -- in the absence of a large amount of meat, it is really very rare for a soldier who is responsible for fighting and killing such a heavy body to eat only one pound of grain a day.) It's at least three million pounds of grain here, and there's at least ten ships here! That's a huge fleet of at least thirty huge ships.)
(In the end, Wu Zuocheng could not be defeated with only the fleet, and 50,000 soldiers had to be transported ashore and set up camp, and the terrain of a good harbor that could dock a fleet of such a size near Wu Zuocheng was already quite harsh, and at the same time, there was a very important condition for going ashore and camping: there must be a large amount of fresh water resources nearby, and there must be enough open space to accommodate 50,000 people, and there are a lot of forests nearby, because whether it is burning, camping, repairing ships, building siege equipment, etc., it will consume a lot of wood, and from a military point of view, it is best to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is necessary to have so many harsh requirements for each other with the port after listing them one by one.) This will make people understand why natural deep-water harbors are really hard to find. To sum up, if the East China Sea Coalition wants to raid Wu Zuocheng, it is really difficult to prevent it. )
However, after thinking about it, Lin Feng finally decided to go to Dongxia for a trip.
Because he finally felt that the seven-chong door on his body should indeed be broken, and there was also a vague premonition in his heart, if he delayed any longer, maybe there would be some unknown disadvantages.
Of course, more importantly, Lin Fengjin felt that his worries were also a small probability event, for this kind of thing to happen, the first thing was that the people of the East China Sea Alliance Army had to seize the opportunity and see the attack during his absence, and in terms of feedback from all aspects, this was already about two out of ten percent of the probability.
Second, even if the people of the East China Sea Alliance Army attacked Wu Zuocheng, the probability that they would not be able to rush back in time (within three months) was only 30% at most!
These two emergencies together will evolve into the most tangled situation, so Lin Fengjin feels that this risk is still worth taking, if it really doesn't work, he is not without hole cards, that is, ask Lu Yu to speak, let the defenders of Sisheng Pass come forward and send troops to relieve the siege of Wu Zuocheng.
Of course, this is the next policy, no matter how good Lu Yu and Lin Fengjin get along with each other, once the Northern Qi moves troops, it will be a state affair, and it will definitely not be mixed with personal friendship, Wu Zuocheng will inevitably be strongly inserted by the Northern Qi, for Lin Fengjin, if he is not forced to do so, he really doesn't want to do this. (To be continued......)
