South of Jingzhou, Nanjun Town.

A burly general came to the foot of Nanyu Mountain with more than a dozen soldiers.

It is the guard of the southern county city of Bu Ji'an.

Bu Ji'an has seven out of thirty, and he has been the defender of Nanjun for five years.

Nanyu Mountain is located fifty miles southeast of Nanjun City.

The mountain is not big, there is a main peak named Wan Qian Peak, Wan Qian Peak is surrounded by four small peaks, and the former Wan Qi Sect was established in Wan Qian Peak.

According to the external statement of Wanqimen, as early as the beginning of the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, Wanqimen already existed, but at that time it did not establish a sect in Nanyu Mountain.

In the 33rd year of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Luren, the founding patriarch of Wanqimen, with the help of the nine major factions, chose a site in Nanyu Mountain to establish a sect.

Wanqimen was the first to be born in refining, commonly known as iron.

There are not a few people who strike iron in this world, and in addition to their own hardness, they have met nobles who can open a sect.

At the World Martial Arts Conference that year, Wang Luren actually beat the crowd and entered the top ten, of course, the final ranking must be tenth.

Wanqimen has not yet been officially established, and it is famous all over the world.

Wang Luren is not an ordinary blacksmith, he has a family heirloom internal strength method, the flame technique.

I don't know which master the ancestor learned from the ancestor, as for the name, it was the ancestor who saw the fire when he was striking iron, and his family martial art is called the drum fist.

Born as a blacksmith, what he is best at is just hammering iron, and this drum god fist is naturally enlightened from life. However, after the establishment of the sect, the Wanqi Gate was not taught to the outside world, but the craft of striking iron refining tools was still only inherited in the lineage, and the lineage here refers to the lineage of the surname Wang.

So where does the word "Wanqimen" come from?

If you don't have a good ability, you can't get a foothold, let alone start a sect.

Generally, blacksmiths strike iron, mostly relying on their own muscle strength to hammer, and there are very few people with internal strength like the ancestors of the Wang family.

It is said that the master who passed on the internal force practice method to the ancestor of the Wang family had an excellent material in his hand, but the requirements for the forging were extremely high, and this master was extremely patient, and found the lonely ancestor of the Wang family, and when he was still an apprentice and just learned to use the sledgehammer with his master, he quietly taught him the internal strength of the heart method, and tailored it for him, teaching him the technique of dancing the hammer.

The people of the Wang family are the best at using the blade, and it is the sledgehammer.

The ancestors of the Wang family kept the secret in their hearts, and learned the art of thirteen years with their own iron master, and after five years of apprenticeship, he resigned from his master, left Xiangyang City, and went to Nanjun to settle down, and a lot of the silver money of the An family was given to him by the master.

He opened a blacksmith shop in South County and operated it for another five years. That master was also an extremely patient man, and he had waited nearly twenty years to forge a peerless sword.

The ancestor of the Wang family didn't know that he was able to enter the blacksmith shop to learn the arts, and it was the man who first found his blacksmith master and used the silver to make the blacksmith master willing to accept this helpless child.

Such patience made the ancestors of the Wang family admire it, and they regarded the one who changed their lives as their relatives and benefactors.

What the ancestor of the Wang family thought in his heart, that person didn't seem to care, what he cared about was just whether this peerless sword could be cast.

The furnace was finally opened, and after a year, the ancestor of the Wang family finally fused the materials brought by the master with iron to forge a sword.

The two sides of the hilt of the sword are inscribed with "Heaven" and "Help" respectively, which is the name given by the man for this sword.

Holding the sword in his hand is like heaven helping.

The man took his sword and tried it with his hand, sharpening the iron like clay, and blowing his hair off.

Looking up to the sky and laughing, the man left with his sword, and the ancestor of the Wang family never saw this person again.

The Tianzhu Sword became a legend in the mouth of the Wang family, and the legend was only passed on by word of mouth among the descendants of the Wang family at the request of the master.

The man said, "If I succeed, then your royal family will be famous all over the world, and if you ......

The Wang family is not famous in the world.

After Wang Luren opened the sect, he was the identity of Wanqimen.

According to that person, if the Wang family has the opportunity to help martial arts people build weapons in the future, Mo just stares at the silver, and can ask to learn some other weapons to use martial arts, and write them down carefully. You don't need to learn any advanced martial arts, and people won't teach you, just simple moves.

With years of accumulation, Wang Luren created the door of ten thousand instruments and taught the use of ten thousand instruments.

In the name of Wanqi, it's a big mouth, but no one laughs at Wanqimen, first, it is the default of the nine major factions, and second, if you want to learn any of the eighteen weapons, Wanqimen can teach one or two.

Let's not say if it's powerful or not, who told you that you are not a descendant, just teach it.

Anyway, as long as you don't pass on the lineage and can't learn the real ability, it is known to the world, even the nine major factions are no exception.

Masters are just a handful, spend some money, and be better than ordinary people.

Unexpectedly, the Wanqimen, which had been founded for nearly a hundred years, would suffer the disaster of annihilation.

The king of Jiangling in Jingzhou was furious, such a thing happened in his own jurisdiction, and the letter from the king of Shu in Bazhou made him even more strange, so he ordered the southern county guard to strictly investigate Bu Ji'an, and be sure to check the results.

In order to show his loyalty, Bu Ji'an swore in front of the king of Gangneung, and if he couldn't find out why, he would eat the chessboard of the king of Gangneung.

King Jiangling patted him on the shoulder and told him that if he did it beautifully, this chessboard would be rewarded to him, and if he couldn't find out, find a chessboard to gnaw on, and the king would not be willing to give up this golden silk nanmu chessboard.

King Jiangling is still very lenient with his subordinates, and Bu Ji'an can't find out, how could he do such a self-cutting thing.

The words of gnawing on the chessboard were just his jokes, after all, Bu Ji'an was not a dereliction of duty, and the subordinates of the corpse vegetarian meal could rest assured that Nanjun would be handed over to him, but it was not a decision made by King Jiangling's brain to heat up for a while.

Besides, he loves to swear to eat the chessboard, and every time he gambles, he will lose Ji'an, and he is famous among several of his capable subordinates.

Bu Ji'an's vision is good, and that chessboard is left by Wang Cang, a former national player.

This is the third time that Bu Ji'an has climbed the mountain to check.

Bu Ji'an frowned, eating the chessboard is a small matter, but the destruction of Wanqimen is really important, King Jiangling has already sent someone to send a message to the Ziyang Pavilion of Xianyin Mountain, asking Xianyin Mountain to send someone to assist in the investigation.

Bu Ji'an is the descendant of Ziyang Pavilion, but he is not the kind of person who spent some money to learn boxing and kicking for a few years, if it weren't for Wei Fangu, the deputy marshal of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, who personally went to Xianyin Mountain to pick people, as a disciple of the descendant, he is now afraid that he is also one of the stewards of Ziyang Pavilion.

The descendants of the sect carefully cultivated by Ziyang Pavilion were kept as the mainstay of the sect, a total of three people, and they were picked by Wei Fan Gu, who was also born in Ziyang Pavilion.

Wei Fangu, who is nearly sixty years old, according to his seniority, the head of Ziyang Pavilion should also call him a senior brother.

Wei Fan Gu's move made the Ziyang Pavilion dislike, but he didn't dare to stop him from picking people.

Shortly thereafter, the deputy marshal of Wei was appointed by the king of Jiangling as the commander of the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, and the original commander of the soldiers and horses, Lu Renyi, was not as lucky as Xiang Feiang.

Because he is from Yangzhou. Before that incident happened, he received a secret letter from Yangzhou.

After all, the lord of this state is the king of Jiangling, so what if he Lu Renyi has a tiger talisman in his hand? When he secretly summoned his henchmen and men to plot to besiege the Jiangling Palace, he was first surrounded by Wei Fan Gu and his people.

Wei Fan Gu was holding the half of the Tiger Talisman of King Jiangling, and compared to the commander of the soldiers and horses who rotated every three years, his prestige in the army was already greater than that of Lu Renyi.

Lu Renyi, who wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, didn't even have a chance to compete with Wei Fan Gu, so he was shot into a hedgehog.

What is the story between Wei Fan Gu and the head of Ziyang Pavilion, it is another old yellow calendar.

The grievances of the past are said today, implicated one after another.

When the head of Ziyang Pavilion took over Ziyang Pavilion, his senior brother had become the defender of a city with his own ability, so he took people to Ziyang Pavilion in Xianyin Mountain to congratulate him.

In order to show his sincerity, this senior brother can bring 300 cavalry to be stationed at the foot of the mountain.

And King Jiangling only smiled slightly after knowing about it, and then Wei Fan Gu was promoted to the deputy marshal of Jingzhou soldiers and horses.

The person who was chosen by Wei Fan Gu together with Bu Ji'an was the current deputy marshal of soldiers and horses, Sheng Luhao.

When the two of them were selected by Wei Fan Gu to serve in the Jingzhou army, Sheng Luhao knelt down and kowtowed at that time, calling General Xie for appreciation.

And he Bu Jian is not so clever.

Maybe some people are originally aiming at the field, but they just lack the opportunity.

The people from Ziyang Pavilion had not yet arrived, and Bu Ji'an led people to search carefully in Nanyu Mountain.

Up and down the door, except for the head of the family, five descendants, two miscellaneous servants, and two sect stewards all suffered, and the head Wang Shibei and his family were nowhere to be found.

The body had already been removed and pretended to be an autopsy.

Five of the disciples died of poisoning, while two stewards died in a fight.

Bu Ji'an Jian frowned, and walked around the Wanqi Pavilion in the Wanqi Gate, but he didn't find anything.

He suspected that this matter was related to Wang Shibei, otherwise why would Wang Shibei's family be missing.

But what is the motivation?

Bu Ji'an couldn't figure it out.

Wanqi Pavilion is the place where Wanqimen displays weapons, and all kinds of weapons are displayed on the weapon rack, and Wanqimen has any magic weapons, Bu Ji'an is not very clear, after all, this is the secret of Wanqimen.

However, he heard that Wanqimen privately returned refining weapons to the nine major factions, so the reputation of Wanqi Pavilion was very good among the nine major factions.

Bu Ji'an casually pulled out a knife on the knife holder and gestured a few times.

At this time, there was a sound in the northeast corner of the Wanqi Pavilion, Bu Ji'an was startled, put down the knife casually, grabbed the sword in his hand, beckoned left and right, and tiptoed closer.

There was a secret door in the northeast corner, the secret door opened, and two people came out.

————————————————

There is a nearly thirty-mile road to Longjiang Town, and it took Chen Suisui more than two minutes to arrive.

When he arrived in the town, he inquired if a caravan of three carriages had come.

Hearing that the caravan had just left the town, Chen Suisui did not hesitate and pursued eastward.

Zhang Zhongqian and his entourage did not rest in Longjiang Town, passing by Longjiang Town, he just arranged for his subordinates to simply buy the things needed for life and continue to travel east.

Yuan Xi and the three of them sat in the carriage, Cheng Shifei did not go down to be the companion of Funny Fei, and explained the mental method of the firmament with his brother-in-law in the carriage.

And Yuan Xi, as in normal days, in addition to meditating in the carriage, he thought about the people he saw along the way.

When he passed by Longjiang Town, he saw an interesting scene.

When the people went to buy, Zhang Zhongqian found a tea stall, and the three of them got out of the car to drink tea and rest for a while, and Yuan Xi looked at the town.

A child caught his eye, the size of him when he had left home.

The child was taken care of, and at that age, it should be the child's grandmother, and the child was holding a fruit that he had never seen before, and was nibbling there, and was walking around in front of the house.

Their carriage stopped on the side of the road, and the bare-bottomed little boy with only one belly pocket became interested in the carriage.

The grandmother glanced at her little grandson and chatted with the person next to her.

It seemed that the child seemed to be interested in the tall horses, and the grandmother reminded the grandmother, and the grandmother shouted at the child, telling him not to go to the horse to play, the big horse is fierce, and it hurts more to kick people than your father to kick you.

The little boy looked at his grandmother and then at the horse, took a bite of the fruit in his hand, and then squatted down to continue playing, while the grandmother continued to chat.

I am afraid that the attraction of the horse is too great, or the little boy wants to feel the difference between the horse kicking people and the father, and walks in the direction of the carriage when the grandmother is not paying attention.

When the grandmother saw this, she shouted again, but the little boy did not even look back, but continued to walk forward, and trotted on his short calves.

Grandmother was still shouting for her to come back, but it didn't seem to work.

The little boy is getting closer to the horse, but farther and farther away from his grandmother.

When the little boy was about two feet away from the carriage, the grandmother, who was getting louder and louder, hurried to move and ran towards the little boy, shouting as she ran.

Seeing his grandmother running towards him, as if he thought it was amused, the little boy giggled, thinking that his grandmother was playing a game of catch with him, and ran under the horse's belly.

At this time, the man who was resting on the carriage got up and jumped out of the carriage, grabbed the child and held it in his arms, and walked towards the grandmother, who had just run a few steps and was out of breath.

After taking the child, she seemed to complain about stopping the carriage there and stepping on the child, and turned around and began to reprimand the disobedient child in her eyes.

The child, who had been picked up by the man and was still giggling, howled and cried, and played a temper with his grandmother.

The grandmother reprimanded a few words and found that the child was crying more and more, so she began to persuade her with good words, and began to respond in various ways, promising all kinds of benefits, as long as the good grandchild did not cry.

Yuan Xi didn't know if the promise he made in order to coax the child could really become a promise.

He also didn't understand why, at first, the grandmother didn't walk a few steps and hold the child.

The child finally stopped crying, and on the other side came the sound of the child's crying, which turned out to be two children fighting over a gadget, which was nothing more than a stick.

One dragged the hatred and hatred silently, and the other pulled the crying and screaming, and the mothers of the two children rushed over to take a look.

One yelled at the silent child, "What's there to grab this?"

Another child who cried at his own house was slapped on the buttocks, scolding, something that has no interest, will cry.

The two mothers and mothers were originally chatting about the east and west together, and the two children were playing together.

Dragged away their own children and went home, and the wooden stick that the two children regarded as divine soldiers was discarded aside.

Yuan Xi was thinking,

What if the two children are not fighting over a stick, such as money, a penny, or a bag of money?

So what will the two mothers do?

In the eyes of children, sticks may be no different from money bags, but in the eyes of adults, they are very different, fundamentally different.

Between people, in addition to material exchanges, there is also an emotional exchange.

Material exchange is for the sake of living a richer life and satisfying one's own needs, while emotional exchange is another more vital factor that maintains the human group.

Emotions are a difficult thing to measure.

Master said that this is the human heart.

Yuan Xi only felt that he was still too shallow in the world, and he still had to think more about Master's words.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute"

There was a shout outside the car window, and Yuan Xi said to Zhang Zhongqian and Cheng Shifei, who also heard the shouting,

"Listening to the voice, it should be that old man. ”

Zhang Zhongqian and Cheng Shifei glanced at each other, Cheng Shifei probe stretched out of the car window, saw the person behind him who was getting closer and closer, and he shouted at the driver, "Stop"

Turning around and saying to his brother-in-law,

"It's still Brother Yuan's ears, brother-in-law, it's really that old age. ”

Zhang Zhongqian is also strange, he helped Chen Suisui, it is said that he should return home now, how to catch up again, is it possible that the silver is not enough, and he came to ask for help.

The carriage stopped, the three of them got out of the carriage, and Chen Suisui just ran to him, panting.

Zhang Zhongqian opened his mouth first,

"Chen Gongzi, who are you?"

Hearing Chen Gongzi's title again, Chen Suisui waved his hand again and again, and said a little breathlessly,

"Don't you dare to call Childe, Childe only needs to call me Chen Suisui. ”

As he spoke, he took out the money bag from his bosom, and said,

"Childe gave more silver before, my IOU was written two taels, but Childe gave me three taels of silver, and I caught up with Childe to repay the two or seven pieces of silver. ”

Zhang Zhongqian was surprised,

"You're here for this?

Chen Suisui nodded, poured the money from the money bag into the palm of his hand, carefully pulled it, took out three coins of silver, put it back in the money bag, handed out the remaining one or two or seven coins, and said with some embarrassment,

"I have delivered the medicine to my home, and my mother has already boiled it. Childe, this is one or two or seven dollars of silver, please keep it. ”

Cheng Shifei looked at Chen Suisui, who was carrying the package, and asked,

"Chen Suisui, are you saying that you ran to the town first, then returned home, and then caught up with us, so what are you still carrying the package on? Could it be that you are afraid that you will not be able to catch up with us, so you have made some preparations?"

Chen Suisui was better at this time, no longer so panting, Zhang Zhongqian hadn't taken his silver yet, his hand was still stretched there, so he stretched forward again, and said,

"My mother already has medicine to recuperate, and there is no farm work to do at home, so I thought about coming out to find some odd jobs to subsidize the family, otherwise when the sons come back, I am afraid that they will not be able to pay the two taels of silver. ”

Zhang Zhongqian still took the silver, otherwise the young man who had been stretching out his hand would be very embarrassed.

Hearing Chen Suisui say this, he thought for a while and asked,

Chen Gong ...... How long do you have to do a day job? What do you think?"

Chen Suisui shook his head, and then said,

"This year is the first time I came out, I don't have other skills, I still have the strength, I heard the villagers say that the big families in the town have a big family business, and there is a lot of work, so I want to come out to try my luck, now just into the summer, I plan to go home before the Mid-Autumn Festival, earn more money, and have a good holiday with my family. ”

Zhang Zhongqian thought for a moment and then said,

"If I hire you to work for me on a part-time basis, I wonder if you would be willing?"

Zhang Zhongqian's move was not a momentary kindness, speaking of which, there is such a young man with unique skills around him, he only makes money and does not lose, but according to his thoughts, if this young man can finally accompany the team back to Chunshui City, it will be the best.

Yuan Xi glanced at Zhang Zhongqian in some surprise, and Zhang Zhongqian smiled.

Chen Suisui's skills can be seen by Yuan Xi, and it is he who told Zhang Zhongqian what is right and wrong, so as soon as Zhang Zhongqian's words came out, he knew his thoughts. However, he didn't speak, this was his Zhang family's business, and it had nothing to do with his Yuan Xi.

Chen Suisui was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated a little,

"Hire me, hire me for what?"

Zhang Zhongqian said,

"Chen Suisui, can you take a step to speak?"

Cheng Shifei glanced at Yuan Xi, and then when the two walked to the side of the road, he whispered,

"Brother Yuan, my brother-in-law is really, talking behind the back of the two of us, hum!"

Yuan Xi shook his head, and then said,

"Xiao Fei, your brother-in-law is actually doing this to make Chen Suisui's heart feel a little more at ease. ”

Over there, Zhang Zhongqian said, Chen Suisui listened, his expression was first surprised, then puzzled, and looked at Yuan Xi and Cheng right and wrong from time to time, and finally frowned and thought for a while, then nodded.

The conditions given by Zhang Zhongqian are a bit high for Chen Suisui, and they are outrageously high, but they are still lower than Cheng Suisui.

This price has already surprised Chen Suisui, because in his opinion, it is more than his family's harvest in two or three years.

But Zhang Zhongqian told him that the position of a guard would be dangerous, and even his life would be in danger.

Chen Suisui agreed, not because he made a lot of money, but because he believed in Zhang Zhongqian.

And the boy who said he knew him at the beginning.

His name is Yuan Xi.

——————————————

Mao Fang came to Pingnan City, and as the lord of the manor, he put on a newly made robe.

According to the housekeeper Di Shoudian, he had two things to do when he came to Pingnan City, one was to find Cao Renwei from the Jin Wei Martial Arts Pavilion, and the other was that he wanted to go chic.

To be a master is to be a master.

With dozens of taels of silver in his arms, sitting in the carriage, Mao Fang held the book "Guiguzi" in his hand.

This book is already something he has with him, but no one explains it to him, and there are too many things he doesn't understand.

I'll have to talk to the housekeeper about arranging a gentleman for him when I go back."

As for Zhang Wuming's daughter, he also chose it, it was Xiaobi's girl.

What made Mao Fang feel most terrible was that the manager actually gave Xiaobi's girl an identity, Zhang Hebi.

Zhang Wuming probably didn't know that he had always had a daughter, although this daughter only existed in the register.

Mao Fang is now Zhang Hebi's husband and Zhang Wuming's son-in-law.

Master Zhang is now seriously ill, and his son-in-law is in charge of Zhang's affairs.

Mao Fang hadn't told Xiaobi Yuanfang yet, and the housekeeper told him to go to Pingnan City to learn a thing or two first.

He planned it, and when he saw the one named Cao Renwei, he went to Wanhualou for a walk.

The carriage stopped in front of the Jin Wei Martial Arts Pavilion, and Mao Fang got out of the car.
