Volume 1 Chapter 11 The Predator's stronghold
Luo Changfeng rarely touches on the word mother, because he never knows what it feels like to have a mother.
But in the past five years, Aunt Lu has made him understand this feeling a little.
As Aunt Lu spoke, tears slipped down her eyes, and she choked up: "Thirteen years ago, I sent my husband out of the house like this, eight years ago...... That's how I sent my son away eight years ago, but they ...... None of them came back. ”
"Changfeng, promise Aunt Lu...... You must be safe and sound, and come back to see Aunt Lu every year. ”
Luo Changfeng was silent for two breaths, and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely do it." ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked outside the door, and when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said, "From today on, Changfeng is your son, and I am leaving, mother." ”
After saying that, he stepped out of the house and strode away.
Aunt Lu was stunned for a moment, ran to the door quickly, held on to the door frame, looked at Luo Changfeng's tall and strong back, the muddy tears in her eyes rained down, covered her mouth with one hand, and forcibly prevented herself from crying.
She was afraid that her crying would make Luo Changfeng worry and not be able to do things with peace of mind.
......
Chen Jinnan came to the entrance of the village under the escort of the high-level of the Lotus Hall, but saw that Luo Changfeng was already waiting for him at the entrance of the village.
His saber was stuck diagonally at his left waist, and in addition to a small burden that was supposed to contain a change of clothes and dry food, there was also a large round burden about two feet long, and I don't know what it was.
Chen Jinnan said goodbye to the brothers, Zhao Mingde and others also told Luo Changfeng a few words, and the two left the village.
It is more than 600 miles from here to Putian, but there is still half a month to go, so it is completely in time.
Heaven and Earth will follow the strategy of "surrounding the city from the countryside", with strongholds in major towns and villages, and basically do not take official roads or enter the city when rushing, but only take remote roads.
When the major cities enter the city gates, they will be checked by the city gate guards, and if they have weapons, they will not be able to enter the city, and they will be arrested.
The Qing Dynasty forbade private weapons, especially in the early Qing Dynasty, and even as long as more than a certain number of people gathered together, it was suspected of plotting rebellion.
The scenes of carrying swords and swords in martial arts dramas and swaggering through the city are completely because the screenwriter and director do not know history and fool around.
People like Chen Jinnan and Luo Changfeng, who carry swords with them, must not go through the official road city.
Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no people from the Heaven and Earth Society in the city, it's just that they act more secretively, and most of them are serious businessmen to hide their identities.
Changlin Village is in the deep mountains, it takes three hours to go out of the mountain, and another hour after going down the mountain, before arriving at Guanpi Town.
On the mountain road, Chen Jinnan looked at the big burden behind Luo Changfeng and asked, "Changfeng, what are you carrying in the baggage?"
Luo Changfeng said: "Some instruments." ”
Chen Jinnan thought that it was just some equipment for boiling up strength and cultivating outer martial arts, so he didn't care about it anymore, nodded, and said, "How have you been practicing light skills recently?"
"It's ok. ”
"Okay, it's also an excellent time to practice light skills when you're in a hurry, so you can also speed up and run!"
"Yes. ”
Chen Jinnan and Luo Changfeng started together and ran away, and the two of them walked like flying in the forest, far surpassing the track and field athletes of later generations.
People with internal strength have a long breath, and the continuous running distance is not comparable to the athletes who rely on physical strength alone.
Luo Changfeng was naturally far inferior to Chen Jinnan, so Chen Jinnan slowed down and took care of Luo Changfeng's speed.
Half an hour later, the two stopped running, and a building appeared in front of Luo Changfeng's eyes, which was a temple built against a mountain and surrounded by lofty mountains.
Chen Jinnan pointed to the temple and said: "There is Changlin Temple, which is a branch of Southern Shaolin, and it can also be said to be the birthplace of the Heaven and Earth Society. ”
"Back then, Brother Wan Yunlong was there, using the identity of a monk as a cover, and secretly created the Heaven and Earth Society, and the warrior monks in the temple cultivated many backbones for the Heaven and Earth Society. ”
Luo Changfeng looked at the quaint Changlin Temple and nodded slightly, he naturally knew that the founder of the Heaven and Earth Society was Wan Yunlong.
This is also the origin of the "Wan Family Brothers" who are members of the Heaven and Earth Society, and later generations of Hongmen disciples asked their identities from other branch halls, and usually said, "Please also ask your brother to report a 10,000" or "Which 10,000 brother is", all of which originated from Wan Yunlong.
Luo Changfeng followed Chen Jinnan like this, walked for a while, ran for a while, meditated and rested on the spot when he was tired, recovered his internal strength, and in less than two hours, he completed the mountain road that originally took three hours.
When he arrived outside Deguanpi Town, just after the end of the year, the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Society, who had already received the news, prepared horses, water and food, and just waited for Chen Jinnan and Luo Changfeng to arrive, and then they could directly set off north.
On this journey, Chen Jinnan found another problem, Luo Changfeng didn't know how to ride a horse.
Fortunately, he has good skills, and he has a bit of a good sense of balance, Chen Jinnan clicked a few words, and he quickly mastered the trick of horseback riding.
The two of them went all the way through Zhangzhou, through Quanzhou, to Putian, and every time they walked, there would be a Heaven and Earth Association stronghold brothers to arrange everything to ensure that they could have a good rest, and at the same time not delay any time.
It only took four days for the master and apprentice to arrive at Gaojiazhuang Village, not far from the foot of Jiulian Mountain, which was the stronghold of the Heaven and Earth Society's Iron Blood Youth League.
The whole village has been gradually encroached upon by the Heaven and Earth Society for a long time, and they have gradually bought the houses of the original villagers of the village at a much higher price.
Those villagers who had money naturally went to live in the township, and now this village has become the territory of the Heaven and Earth Society.
After entering the village, he was greeted at the entrance of the village by a young man of twenty-five or sixteen, with five teenagers who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old.
That young man is the leader of the Iron and Blood Youth League of the Heaven and Earth Society, his name is Chen Pi, and he has already received a message that he knows that Chen Jinnan will arrive today, so he will wait at the entrance of the village early in the morning.
Chen Jinnan and Luo Changfeng's master and apprentice arrived at noon, but Chen Pi and the others who were waiting were not impatient at all.
On weekdays, they don't have many opportunities to meet the chief helmsman, and besides, they have heard that the only disciple of the chief helmsman will also come this time.
He had long been curious about this brother, who had won the favor of the chief helmsman and accepted him as the only disciple of the lineage.
As soon as Chen Jinnan and Luo Changfeng arrived, Chen Pi took the initiative to lead the horse, and Luo Changfeng's horse was also held by another teenager.
Luo Changfeng dismounted and said to the young man, "Thank you." ”
"Subordinates, see the chief helmsman. After Chen Pi dismounted, he handed the reins to the young man behind him and walked in front of Chen Jinnan to salute.
Chen Jinnan smiled and raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, have the little brothers of the Youth League gathered?"
Chen Pi got up and said: "Back to the helmsman, they are all gathered, they have long been looking forward to the arrival of the helmsman, and one of the brothers also brought a gift to the helmsman, this gift, the helmsman will definitely like it." ”
"Oh?" Chen Jinnan smiled, "I'm starting to look forward to it." ”
After Chen Pi and Chen Jinnan finished greetings, they looked at Luo Changfeng, who was expressionless and speechless, and said with a smile: "This must be Brother Changfeng!"
