Chapter 21: The Three Heroes of the Central Plains (Part I)
There is a distance from Nanyang City to Shaolin Temple, and during this time, Yu'er has been taking care of Huaishan's injury. Huaishan, on the other hand, seemed to be in some kind of struggle, with a constant high fever and a very weak body.
In fact, for Huaishan, he is not willing to hate or hurt anyone. It's just that when he stepped into the rivers and lakes, he had to face the killing of his sworn brother, the fratricidal relationship between himself and his so-called brother, and the unknown secrets of his father. He was seriously injured, but he couldn't compare to the sadness in his heart.
He didn't know what kind of man his brother was. What kind of life should he have, and if he could start over in life, many endings would be different.
He kept repeating a dream. He dreamed of a person, and that person was like himself in a mirror. They looked at each other and didn't speak. He smiled, and the man smiled, and he frowned, and the man frowned. But for some reason, the two drew their swords and faced each other, and both were defeated. Then a cold arrow passed through the man's chest, and the blinding blood stained the entire earth.
When he woke up, he saw Yu'er. He knew that although the arrow Yu'er shot saved her, it became his inner demon.
Yu'er always looked at Huaishan with a smile, and she smiled: "You woke up again, this is the sixth time you have woken up, do you feel better?"
Her voice is soft, clean, clean and nice.
He remembered that Dai Lin, the divine doctor of Baicao, said that Yu'er was a woman who captivated the country and the city. But in Huaishan's view, Yu'er's appearance is just a middle-aged person, and it is not a country and a city. This was his first impression of Yu'er.
He saw that Yu'er's face was wounded, like a shallow wound cut by a dagger. But strangely, the wound didn't seem to bleed, but it didn't look like it was going to heal. He thought that if Dai Lin was really a miracle doctor and felt sorry for his daughter, how could he let such a small wound remain on his daughter's face.
"Do you blame me for killing your brother?" his thoughts were interrupted by Yu'er.
Huaishan took a deep breath and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.
There were only two of them in the carriage, which made Huaishan a little embarrassed. The sound of horses' hooves and wheels was heard. There seemed to be a lot of people chatting outside the carriage, and all kinds of noises sounded very thorough, probably in the mountains and forests.
"All I know is that you saved me. Great grace is not grateful. And how can you hate. He said.
Yu'er said, "Can you promise me one thing?"
Huaishan asked, "Girl, please speak." ”
"This time I went to Shaolin Temple, my father is more than lucky, can you do your best to protect him. If you promise, my life is yours. Yu'er didn't laugh when she said this. Huai Shan saw her resolute eyes and expression, and he had a strange thought, the face in front of him did not belong to this girl.
But he couldn't seem to refuse, because he found that there was something in Yu'er that deeply attracted him, and he couldn't resist. He didn't know exactly what it was, but it didn't matter.
"Good!" almost blurted out. Even Huaishan himself didn't expect that he would agree so readily.
Yu'er continued, "There are still a few days to go to Shaolin Temple, do you want to listen to me tell two stories." ”
Huaishan nodded. He and Miss Yu'er are not familiar with each other, but he vaguely feels that his future life path seems to be destined to be accompanied by this stranger. He didn't know why he thought that.
The first story. It is a legend about the evil god between the Shaolin Temple and the beggars.
According to the legend of the rivers and lakes, the evil god was a woman named Wang Jia, who was the daughter of Wang Linmu, the leader of the beggar gang at that time.
There is a saying from the evil gods: "Sometimes killing makes me feel that life is meaningful." You see, these lives that should have lived well, but I accidentally killed them and died, how funny. ”
At that time, the era of the East Evil, the West Madness, the Southern Monk, and the Northern Hero (Note 1) had already become a story and circulated in the torrent of history.
There are heroes from generation to generation.
Everyone in the world knows that in today's martial arts, heroes from all over the world compete for beauty. On the land of China, with the Yangtze River as the boundary, the power of Yaowang Valley penetrates the entire south. But in the north, the most influential are still the Shaolin led by the four great monks and the beggars led by the Wang family.
Legend has it that the evil god practiced a very evil martial arts, and she seemed to have a common enmity with the people of the beggar gang, and killed ninety-two disciples and seven elders of the beggar gang one after another, and even the leader of the beggar gang, Wang Linmu, was seriously injured in that battle.
What's even more surprising is that the evil god Wang Jia is actually Wang Linmu's daughter.
Later, the evil god disappeared for a while. When she reappeared, she was covered in wounds and poisoned, and she was about to die, and she was followed by a little girl about four years old. And she herself, as if she has a big belly, is about to give birth.
It was Master Zhiyong who rescued her and brought her back to the Shaolin Temple. However, Master Zhiyong's kindness almost ruined the reputation of Shaolin Temple for thousands of years.
Master Zhiyong said to the heroes of the world, the four-year-old girl, and the child in Wang Jia's belly, are his flesh and blood.
Master Zhiyong escaped into the empty door at the age of thirty-two, and four years later, he subdued the entire Shaolin with his understanding of Buddhism and Shaolin stunts, and became the youngest abbot in the history of Shaolin Temple.
But as far as his words are concerned, Shaolin Temple was scolded by the heroes of the world. Master Zhiyong didn't explain a word. He took Wang Jia and the little girl who were dying to the holy land of Buddhism in the back of Shaomu Mountain and thought about it before the wordless jade wall, and this time it was sixteen years.
Wang Linmu, the leader of the beggar gang, was angry to death, and the beggar gang broke with Shaolin completely.
The two major gangs in the north gradually declined.
The Southern Medicine King Valley grew rapidly, and its influence spread all over the country.
Miss Yu'er sighed when she said this.
Huaishan listened attentively, and he seemed to see the year through Yu'er's narration.
The evil god is pregnant with Rokka, but he still fights bloodily to protect his children.
Master Zhiyong was merciful, but he was laughed at by the heroes of the world.
The leader of the beggar gang was famous, but he ended up vomiting blood in a fit of rage.
And those so-called heroes of the world, one by one, are like numb spectators, indifferently watching all this happen, and the corners of their mouths are full of ridicule.
Although Yu'er paused to speak, Huaishan didn't interrupt her. Just looked at her and hoped she would keep talking.
Yu'er went on to say that sixteen years later, Master Zhiyong returned to the Shaolin Temple with two girls, one older and one younger. These two girls, one is named Xiwen and the other is named Xilei.
Huaishan had an epiphany, and it turned out that the two closed female disciples of Master Zhiyong, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, had such a life.
He thought of Xiwen, the girl led by the group of green forest heroes who saved them. He lifted the curtain on the carriage and saw Xiwen and Li Kangnian walking side by side on horseback. Li Kangnian may have told a joke and made Xiwen laugh. She laughed loudly. It can be seen that she is a cheerful and cheerful woman. Those swords and swords, and the unpredictable life, seem to have nothing to do with her. I don't know if her sister Xilei has the same character.
This is the end of the first story.
The second story, which takes place in the sixteen years when Master Zhiyong is facing the wall, is about the rise and fall of the Medicine King Valley.
Huaishan originally had a lot of questions about Yu'er, but he didn't say it. He felt that Yu'er must have her intentions when she told him this.
Yaowang Valley has gradually declined since the beggar gang and the Shaolin Temple, and has widely accepted disciples, and for a time the pharmacists and Langzhong were all over the world. At that time, it was an era when there were many talents in Yaowang Valley.
There is almost no one in the rivers and lakes who does not know the six divine powers of the Medicine King Valley.
They are Thousand-Armed Xuanyuan Wei Yinghua, Hawk-Eyed Arhat Xi Potian, Miaoxiang Guanyin Cao Axiang, Poisonous Tongue Yama King Hu Yingying, Baicao Divine Doctor Dai Lin and Lingxiao Boy Zhang Ziyou.
Their existence has become the basis for the Medicine King Valley to dare to compete with the world. So the people of the world no longer admired Shaolin, feared the beggar gang, and rushed to enter the Valley of the Medicine King, become one of its members, learn its skills, and get its blessing.
It's just that people's hearts are unpredictable. One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, let alone six people with ghosts.
Every story will have a hero.
In this story, Hu Yingying, just like his name, became a hero, quelled the rebellion in Yaowang Valley, and saved Yaowang Valley.
Jianghu Road, who should live, who should die, who will assess?
The six divine powers of the Medicine King Valley, three died, and one was abolished. Hu Yingying later became the valley master of the Medicine King Valley, and Dai Lin escaped and was hunted down and killed.
At this time, the carriage stopped. Yu'er also stopped talking.
It seems to have entered the city. There was a clamor of selling outside.
A woman said, "Let's stop here today."
The voice was very close, and then, Huai Shan saw that a nice hand lifted the curtain.
It turned out to be Xiwen.
Xiwen said with a smile, "Sister Yu'er, it seems that you and Little Brother Huaishan can talk very well." ”
Yu'er blushed and said with a smile, "I think Sister Wen is also very interesting to Brother Li Kangnian." ”
Xiwen didn't deny it, looked at Huaishan, and asked, "Brother Huaishan, how is your injury?"
Huaishan smiled, "Thank you Sister Xiwen and all the heroes for saving me, Huaishan is grateful." ”
Xiwen smiled, "With a little effort, my brother is outside." ”
Yu'er said at this time, "By the way, Sister Wen, along the way, I have been thinking about where we seem to have met. Now I finally remember, it turns out that you are a lot like a person. ”
Xiwen was surprised, "Oh, yes, have you seen my sister Xilei?" ”
Yu'er said, "I haven't met Sister Xilei, but I've seen the current Medicine King Valley Master, Hu Yingying. ”
At this time, Huaishan saw that Doctor Dai, who was still talking and laughing with Li Kangnian on the side just now, had a blue face.
