It was getting late, and in the hall of the courtyard, the elder of the Confucian family, Kong Qiu, and his wife sat on the Taishi chair in the upper hall, and on the pear blossom wooden chair on both sides, Lu Weisheng sat on one side, and Shaolin's master of repaying his kindness on the other.

The groom is wearing a wedding dress, the bride is wrapped in a red dress, and the subordinates outside burn firecrackers and crackle.

"Bow to heaven and earth! Kneel! ”

Kong Du is a gentleman, his face is as white as jade, Su Qing wears a golden crown and a red turban with gold wire.

The first worship, ask heaven and earth to learn from it, and bless the two husband and wife with one heart and two long heirs.

The little beggar stood in a row with her senior sister Lu Qingxue and senior brother Mo Liyu, the little beggar's eyes flashed, her two little hands were inserted together into a fist, and in a trance, she saw Uncle Qi beside her, looking at her kindly, and stretched out a hand to pinch her little face.

"Ah Gong ......"

The husband and wife knelt and bowed their heads, and two boys stepped forward, holding a plate in their hands, each with a glass full of white burnt.

The first glass of wine was sprinkled on the ground, and a few drops fell on the garment, wetting it.

"Two bows to the high hall! Kneel! ”

In the second bow, according to the rules, Kong Du and Su Qing had to kneel and kowtow to the father and mother who sat down.

Kong Qiu and the old lady both had a smile on their faces, the old lady stretched out her hand to help, and the two took the wine glass from the boy's plate and handed it over, and a glass of soju was the third bow.

The two are separated by a layer of red veil, the woman is shy, and the man's eyes are full of tenderness.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

The two bowed head to head, everyone looked at the lovers, the surrounding sky was full of firecrackers, and some of the juniors of the Kong family crowded under their own adults to take a closer look.

The old gentleman who presided over watched the newlyweds finish the ceremony and sent the last greetings: "The ceremony is complete! The bridegroom and the bride enter the cave room!"

"Okay!"

"Let's go, go to the cave room!"

"The bride is a good match, and she looks really good!"

"Okay, no matter how you look at it, they are all the daughters-in-law of the Kong family, don't look at it. ”

"Can't see it?"

"No, it doesn't. ”

......

In the noise, those men on the rivers and lakes shouted, everyone was happy, and many people held cups and drank to bless the couple.

"Oh yes, how can you kid drink? Lu Qingxue said angrily, and snatched the wine bowl from the little beggar's hand with one hand.

The little beggar pointed to the people next to him and said, "But they also drink." ”

The man on the side felt that someone was pointing at the back, and looked back dissatisfied, but it was just a child, muttering a word of ignorance.

Lu Qingxue said: "They are adults, you are children, adults can drink, children can't drink, so understand?"

The little beggar answered, and ran away by himself, and there were good dishes on the wine table on one side, fat chicken, roast duck, pork belly, and spirit fish, which were better than wine.

"Brother Li, eat wine!" Bai Shaoyang said, raising the bowl.

Li He poured some of his wine glasses, and also raised them flat and said, "Brother Bai, please." ”

The two talked happily with each other, raised their glasses and drank, and the Confucian Mansion was immersed in laughter.

"Since I haven't seen him for sixteen years, I must stay in my house for a while, so that the old man can do his best to be a landlord. Kong Qiu said and filled Lu Weisheng's wine bowl.

Lu Weisheng shook his head and said: "No, Qingyun Mountain has been down for several months, and now the country is unstable, and the soldiers are rising again, my little apprentice has never practiced martial arts, even if I don't leave an inch by my side, I don't feel at ease, so let's wait until I return to Qingyun Mountain." ”

Kong Qiu opened his mouth, but still shook his head and said: "The Liao soldiers are fierce, and the border passes are constantly in flames, all these years have passed, isn't it possible that Brother Lu hasn't thought it through?

"Qingyun goes straight up, and doesn't ask about the world's affairs. The rules set by the ancestors have been passed down for thousands of years, and they cannot be abolished by Lu. Over the years, how many dynasties and generations have not changed, do you want me to break this ring first. Lu Weisheng's voice was not loud, there were only two people in the small attic, he asked rhetorically, Kong Qiu had nothing to say for a while, and could only use other words to open the topic.

"Then after you went down the mountain, did you hear about some things on the rivers and lakes, such as the Hangzhou giant Fang slightly showed that a family of seventy-three people was wiped out. Kong Qiu said.

Lu Weisheng looked back at him and said: "I did hear about what happened to Brother Fang's family, along the way, not only the Jin merchants in the north but also the ordinary people in the south of the Yangtze River are all rumors, saying that some people in the palace did this, originally I was going down the mountain to end this matter, but now, I can only wait until I go back to Qingyun Mountain to settle down the apprentice, but Brother Fang's hatred, I, Lu, must be clear." ”

"Sure enough, you have a slight acquaintance with that party. ”

Lu Weisheng looked outside the attic, nodded slowly, and said: "This is still the friendship I had when I went down the mountain for the first time when I was a child, and then again, the Fang family has a deep relationship with me." ”

"When I return to Qingyun Mountain, I don't ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and I will definitely end it in person. He sighed.

On the second day, the people on the rivers and lakes had already dispersed, Chaoping City was close to the mountains, the fog was rising, and many merchants got up early, driving the horse team to go out of the city early to be busy with business.

The little beggar fell asleep, hugged in Lu Weisheng's arms, the girl's face was a little cold, with some red silk under the white skin, and her little nose twitched and twitched, so that Lu Weisheng couldn't leave her eyes.

Lu Qingxue and Mo Liyu also woke up early, it was quite cold in the morning, carrying a long sword on their backs, Mo Liyu tightened the package in his arms, used to block the wind, and followed the master closely.

Not a mile out of the city, Lu Weisheng saw that Kong Qiu was already waiting with two boys from the Confucian Mansion.

When it got closer, Lu Weisheng took two more steps forward and said, "Kong Xiucai, stay until the future, and the rivers and lakes will meet again." ”

Compared with Lu Weisheng's unceremoniousness, Kong Qiu seemed to be much more disciplined, and said with a light smile: "Although Qingyun Mountain is not far away, it will take some time, and I don't know when the old friends will meet again, Kong Qiu has nothing to give to Brother Lu, these money can be used on the road." ”

Two little boys stepped forward, each holding a large square plate in their hands, one square plate with twenty silver ingots pressed several stacks of ten jiaozi, the other square plate is twenty gold ingots, also pressed several stacks of five jiaozi, in addition to dozens of copper coins, neatly placed.

Lu Weisheng said with an ugly face: "Okay, you Kong Xiucai, send me with such a little money?" really when I was so good at talking sixteen years ago, this money is great in the eyes of the ordinary people, and there is a lot in the eyes of the businessmen, but you Kong Qiu stinky boy, still want to fool me?"

Kong Qiu snickered and said, "You don't often go down the mountain on Qingyun Mountain, and you always stay in the deep mountains, so you can spend money? Why don't you set up more bookstores with me and invite a few more doctors?"

Lu Weisheng shook his head, too lazy to bother with him, and the two disciples behind him looked at him strangely, watching his master take out a scroll from his arms and throw it into Kong Qiu's arms.

"Yu'er, put all this away, let's go. ”

Mo Liyu agreed, opened his baggage, and poured the silver money on the plate into the baggage, the cloth pocket was tight, and he threw it hard behind his back, it didn't look heavy, but the burden was more than half larger.

Kong Qiu was so happy that he had a smile on his face, and when he opened the scroll and took a look, his smile became even stronger, and he watched the four masters and apprentices from a distance, and gradually walked away.

The pace is not fast or slow, half a day has already walked out of the boundary of Chaoping City, the sky is dusk, there is no sun in the afternoon through the dense fog in the sky, you can see a few turtle doves falling and rising in the distance, and crows flying back and forth, hanging in the air do not disperse.

Lu Qingxue led the little girl to walk behind the master, followed by the junior brother Mo Liyu, the official road was full of potholes, it rained again and again in the past few days, and the water accumulated, and the four of them walked for five days before they saw a village, the village had no cooking smoke, it was surrounded by dense fog, and the slanting chair was halfway up a hundred zhang high hillside, and a mountain road led there.

"Master, it's a boundary monument. Lu Qingxue said.

It is more similar to a tombstone of a lonely grave than a boundary monument of a land, covered with soil and with three sticks of incense on it.

"There are two words engraved on it, and I can't see it clearly. Mo Liyu stepped forward and grabbed the creeper on the stele with his hand, there were two big characters in tatters, and he really couldn't make out what the handwriting on it was.

Lu Weisheng looked around, except for the sound of birds and the non-stop chirping of insects in the mountains, he couldn't hear anything else.

The little girl grabbed Senior Sister Lu's hand, looked at the surrounding miasma, the darkness in the woods, and couldn't help but shrink behind Senior Sister.

Lu Weisheng only felt that the miasma in front of him and behind him was inexplicably cold, and he looked at the shadow of the village not far in front of him and said: "That village is not far away, it is not early, so I will rest there for one night." As he spoke, he took the sword he carried from his back and held it in his hand.

The village was dilapidated, as if it had not been inhabited for a long time, some of the old ones had collapsed in half, the roofs were not tiled, and the rotten wood was propped up, which was very unreliable.

It's no wonder that there are no people, and it looks like no one has been here for a long time, and there are still some insects and flies around Lu Qingxue, which were shot down by her at will.

"Master, can these houses be inhabited?" Lu Qingxue asked.

Mo Liyu was also annoyed, the mosquitoes, grass and flies in this mountain are really poisonous, as long as he takes a bite, he can puff up a big bag, he only feels itchy all over his body, and he wants to take a bath in the hot spring on Qingyun Mountain.

Mo Liyu shouted: "Master, the insects on this mountain are really poisonous, look at this one for me to bite, the bag is connected to the bag." ”

Lu Weisheng frowned and said: "The heroes on the rivers and lakes often say a word, but the head is just a big scar, and after eighteen years, you are a good man, you just let the insects bite a few times, and the words are endless, and you don't have the temperament of a big man." ”

Saying that, Lu Weisheng saw the little girl hiding behind Lu Qingxue, it was very strange, the two apprentices were bitten by mosquitoes, and she was silent about the little girl.

The little people are very afraid, those miasma is eerie and weird, the little doll is small, when I was a child, I heard a lot of demon legends, I have no foundation in my heart, buzzing mosquitoes fly around her ears, but I don't bite her, some strange gas wraps the delicate skin, and all the insects that are close to it fall.

The air flow was transformed, Lu Weisheng could see it clearly, and although it was not as well controlled as a person who practiced martial arts, it was indeed an unusual true qi.

Sharp and unreasonable, subtle and very fast, the true qi will knock down the surrounding insects one by one.

It's not a loss of the Heavenly Absolute Vein, Lu Weisheng was very surprised, there have long been rumors on the rivers and lakes that the cultivation of the three-day pulse is far beyond ordinary people, this little girl has never practiced martial arts, and she has no internal cultivation, but the wisps of true qi can't deceive his eyes.

It's really a genius, thinking about that Yu Jian, if you hear that there is another Heavenly Peerless Pulse in the world, I don't know how you will feel in your heart.

The dilapidated courtyard even collapsed half of the eaves at the entrance, and some white-flowered mushroom grass grew in the damp inside, Lu Qingxue slept soundly with her sword against her chin, and the snoring from the tip of her nose blew on the little girl's face.

Lu Weisheng leaned against the door, a red long sword was held in his hand, and the red sword was wrapped in thick blood, scarlet, very weird.

There was a fire burning on the ground, and Mo Liyu and Master were sleeping heavily.

There was no one around the village, except for the sound of insects, but the sound of the wind whirring in. A thin figure flashed from the entrance of the village, Lu Weisheng's closed eyes opened, and he looked towards that place, but there was nothing, except for some weeds, broken bricks and tiles, but there was nothing.

"Who?"

No one responded, as if nothing had happened, just some grass and wind, and no one was in sight.

Flying lightly over the treetops, he clicked on his toes twice, and flew high for a while.

"He Fangxiao, come out. Lu Weisheng's eyes narrowed, and as soon as the words fell, a figure flew out of the miasma, did a somersault in the air, and landed steadily.

"It is worthy of being a senior master, Qingyun Mountain Lingtianmen, looking up for a long time. "The man in black was tall with long hair and a woman's voice.

Lu Weisheng said: "Who are you?"

"The junior Tianshu Pavilion Zuo Qingfeng has seen the Lord of the Lu Gate in the Confucian Mansion of Chaoping City. The man in black ruffled his hair to the sides, only the top half of his face, and the remaining half of his face was covered with black veil.
