Volume 1: Past Events Chapter 6: The Old Man Loves Others
Liu Ruyan hid behind the rocks and watched the battle secretly, feeling very anxious. Looking at the fierce fight in front of him, he was stunned and at a loss for a while.
Before he figured out the reason for the incident, he couldn't rush to help, so he could only wait and see what happened, on the one hand, he only saw the master fighting with a stranger, and he didn't know why he was fighting. On the other hand, judging from the current situation, the master is not in danger, the two sides are almost evenly matched, and every round has not been able to distinguish the winner or loser. If you act rashly, it may not only not help, but will be self-defeating.
He frowned, anxious like an ant on a hot pan. I didn't know what to do for a while, the fight continued, and the master still showed calm and leisure, with a momentum in his chest. And the old man in a hundred clothes was not in a hurry, he responded calmly, and from time to time he was smiling. It's as if it's not a life-and-death contest, but a point-and-click game.
I saw Nanshan monk Chu Yunfei snorting lightly, and then rose into the air again, a sword volley stabbed out of the air, and swooped straight at the neck, shoulder, and chest of the old man in white. The old man in white saw the situation, smiled, picked up the silver spear and greeted it directly, only to hear a crackling sound of weapons intersecting, splashing sparks, the two flew back and forth in the air, in the blink of an eye, and fought ten more rounds, the blades of both sides were divided with a touch, both of them shouted together, the fighting suddenly stopped, and each of them tossed a few times in the air before falling to the ground lightly.
This fierce fight is simply thrilling. Liu Ruyan unconsciously pinched a cold sweat for the master, but looking at the situation in front of him, both parties were unscathed.
After a while, Chu Yunfei, a resident of Nanshan, suddenly bowed to the old man in white, and laughed: "Brother Lei, don't come to harm, I didn't expect you and I to have not seen each other for ten years, and your Spring Thunder marksmanship has become more exquisite!" The old man in white also returned the salute, laughed loudly, his eyes almost narrowed into a slit, and said leisurely: "Brother Chu, you and I are too far apart, it will be ten years in a blink of an eye, and you still look so personable!" As he spoke, he pinned the long silver spear behind him and walked quickly towards Chu Yunfei.
Just now, it was still tense, you fought to the death, and in an instant, they called each other brothers and treated each other with courtesy. This sudden change in the situation made Liu Ruyan stunned, and his heart was now up and down, surprised and happy. He secretly said in his heart: "The master and this old man turned out to be old friends! I just saw that they were fighting extremely fiercely, and I was still worried about the safety of the master." However, I have never heard the master say that he has such an old man!" This sudden scene in front of him made him breathe a deep sigh of relief, "Could it be that they were just trying martial arts just now?"
Seeing the two people approaching, they looked up and laughed at the same time, Chu Yunfei stretched out his palm and made a "please" gesture, and said with a smile: "Brother Lei, please!"
"Please!" the old man in white also made an inviting gesture. The two talked and laughed happily, and walked in the direction of the thatched house. Seeing this, Liu Ruyan hurriedly tidied up his sleeves, appeared from behind the rock, and shouted to the Nanshan monk: "Master! Master!" hurriedly walked up to meet him.
"Master, it turns out that you are here, and the apprentice is looking for you everywhere!" he smiled, his face full of spring breeze, and his handsome appearance was very chic.
Hearing this, the Nanshan monk and the old man in white looked over together.
The Nanshan monk said to the old man: "This is the old man's apprentice, named Liu Ruyan. He turned his head to Liu Ruyan again and said, "Yan'er, this is your Uncle Lei Zhentian, haven't you seen your Uncle Lei soon?"
Liu Ruyan bowed to the old man in white, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Disciple Liu Ruyan has seen Uncle Lei!"
The white-clothed old man Lei Zhentian carefully looked at the young man in Tsing Yi in front of him, and laughed: "Good, good" and "What a handsome young man!" Then he said to the Nanshan monk: "Brother Chu, when did you accept such a handsome apprentice?
Nanshan monk said: "Brother Lei, you and I haven't seen each other for ten years, back then, after the Taihang Mountain Mingcuifeng Martial Arts Conference, I traveled to this Zhongnan Mountain, seeing the beautiful scenery and far away from the noise of the world, I decided to live in seclusion here," he suddenly frowned, thought for a while, and said, "How did I leave the smoke, this matter is a long story, it is difficult to explain, and with me back to the house, we will talk slowly." ”
The group came to the thatched house and walked into the courtyard surrounded by flowers, plants, melons and fruits, and the Nanshan monk pointed to the slightly dilapidated thatched house in front of him, and introduced to the old man in white: "Brother Lei, you see, this is where I live with Yan'er and the little girl.
The old man in white, Lei Zhentian, clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, what are you talking about! I see that the scenery here is elegant, the scenery is beautiful, and it is a rare treasure of feng shui! Brother Chu, you are elegant!"
When the two of them reunite after a long absence, they will inevitably be polite. Immediately, the Nanshan monk introduced the old man into the stone room, sat down in the living room, and he instructed Liu Ruyan: "Yan'er, you go and make a pot of fine jasmine fresh tea, and you want to talk to your Uncle Lei for the sake of the teacher!"
Liu Ruyan bowed his head and said yes! Then he turned around and went to the stove to make tea.
At this time, it was almost sunset, and the sun was no longer hot, but more gentle and warm, and the faint light still wrapped the earth. The sun is about to set under the western mountains, and night is about to fall.
After a while, Liu Ruyan brought out a pot of white smoke jasmine tea from the stove. Pour a glass for the master and uncle, and then stand aside respectfully.
The Nanshan monk said to Liu Ruyan: "Yan'er, I have something important to discuss with your Uncle Lei, you should go first!" He deliberately separated the apprentice, as if there was something inconvenient for him to know.
The two old men raised their teacups and gestured to each other, each taking a sip of the fragrant fresh tea.
The Nanshan monk groaned and said, "Brother Lei, I can't hide it, in the past ten years, I have no intention of asking about the affairs of the martial arts again. He took a sip of tea and paused, "Brother Lei, have you ever heard of Liujiazhuang on the bank of Weishui?" Speaking of this, his expression became solemn! His eyes flickered, full of indescribable pathos!
Lei Zhentian frowned, his eyes flowed, and he said thoughtfully: "What Brother Chu said, but what is Liujiazhuang, which is a hero in the world at the foot of Huashan Mountain?" He couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, as if he suddenly remembered something!
"Yes, it's the famous Liujiazhuang. He stroked his beard and nodded.
"I heard that twenty years ago, Liu Yulou, a jade-faced scholar, single-handedly founded Liujiazhuang on the bank of Weishui. It is said that the talented Liu Yulou, handsome and dashing, uninhibited, married Chen Luoyan, a lady from a famous family, at the age of 20, and then the couple opened a pharmacy in Liujiazhuang, practiced medicine in the world, and made good connections! He stood up, slowly walked to the edge of the vegetable garden, looked at the verdant mountains in the distance, his face was solemn, and continued: "I heard that on a stormy night, Liujiazhuang was full of spies overnight, and more than ten members of the whole family were all killed. Only two young children were sent away early, and they escaped!" said this, his face, which was full of vicissitudes of time and ravines, showed a look of regret and pain, and the corners of his eyes trembled slightly, as if there were tears about to fall.
Nanshan Jushi continued: "Yes, this tragedy caused a sensation in the entire martial arts back then, and various versions of the narrative were circulated in the streets, but no one has been able to figure out why Liujiazhuang was killed and by whom?" he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "This has become a public case that has not been resolved in the rivers and lakes to this day." ”
