Walking out of Shu and entering Shaanxi, the temperature dropped, and there was a lot of snow this winter, but it didn't make people feel too cold.

The carriage walked in a remnant vein of Bashan, stepped into Lizhou Road without hurry, and headed towards the Xingyuan Mansion in Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is located in the south of Shaanxi, north of the Qinling Mountains, south of Pingba Mountain, and the central part of the Hanzhong Plain, which has the reputation of "the birthplace of the Han family and the Chinese cornucopia" since ancient times.

After passing through Hanzhong and then going northeast for two days, it is Chang'an.

However, Ye Yunsheng did not plan to go directly to Hanzhong.

He had already driven the carriage into Bashan, towards the undulating mountains and the deep clouds. For him, there is a good time that is not inferior to Ewha Village in his memory.

"Daddy, how long will it be before we get home?"

"Ah Yu, let's not go home for the time being, Daddy is going to take you to a fun place. ”

"Ah, do I know there?"

"You haven't been, but Daddy grew up in it. ”

"Didn't you grow up in Rishan?"

"Rishan, Daddy was born there and grew up to be about the same age as you, but do you know how long it will take you to be as old as your aunt?"

"It's going to be a long, long time, right? I'm just a kid now. ”

"Oh, that's right, it's going to take more than ten years! Daddy has lived there for about as long. ”

Ah Yu held a wildflower in his hand that he had picked not long ago, and asked curiously, "What kind of place is there?"

"Shangqing faction. ”

"But how did you get there?"

Ye Yunsheng looked at the surrounding scenery and explained to his daughter leisurely.

"When I was at your age, I met my master, you have to call my ancestor, the people in the rivers and lakes call Yuwang Sword, one hundred and sixteen strokes of chasing light and shadowing swordsmanship in your master's hands, I have never lost from south to north. That year, he happened to come to Shu at the invitation of a famous martial arts scholar to compete in a sword. When I went back, I heard that there was a village in Lishan that made a kind of wine, so I came to this village to drink, and I happened to see me on the way up the mountain. ”

"Is it the wine that my grandfather has been drinking?"

Seeing that Ah Yu was so clever, Ye Yunsheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, it's called pear blossom wine." It's a pity that this wine can't be stored for 100 days, and the taste will become light and sour, and it is necessary to make music with pear blossoms that have been muddled into mud, and lead the mountain spring in the mountain, so that the taste will be authentic after the wine. So I can't let it go, there is not much brewing, except for our Pear Blossom Village, there will be no other places. ”

Ye Yunsheng drove the horse into a steep slope, the two sides of the ramp were very narrow, and the two wheels of the carriage could pass, here he was afraid that the horse would stumble and fall into the ditch, and he was quiet for a while, driving carefully.

After crossing the steep slope and going up into the road, he loosened the reins and said to Ah Yu: "The master came to my house that day, spent money to buy wine and food, and ate properly, so he discussed with your grandfather. At that time, your grandfather lived on only a few acres of thin fields, and the family barely fed, and the extra money was only enough to change clothes during the Chinese New Year. As soon as I heard my master say that he wanted to pass on my martial arts, he immediately agreed, and I saw that my father nodded, so I bowed to my master and left Lishan with my master. ”

He smiled and looked at Ah Yu, as if he was looking at the former little Ah Sheng.

"At that time, it was just a child, and it was strange, but I was not afraid at all, so I followed the master to Hedong and practiced swordsmanship at the master's house for a year. He showed a smug look and asked Ah Yu: "You have been learning the sword for almost two months, how many moves have you learned?"

Ah Yu raised his hand, opened his small palm, and said, "Five moves!"

His eyes were full of light, as if he had a secret that he was afraid of being heard by others, and said softly: "I have been practicing for two months, and I haven't learned a single move!"

Fluttering, Ah Yu couldn't stop laughing.

"The master's teaching is extremely strict, and in the first two months, I was only asked to hold the sword pile every day, pinch the sword trick, and breathe in. However, the first year has passed, and I can basically use the master's stunt of one hundred and sixteen strokes of chasing light and shadow swordsmanship. His voice was still soft, almost inaudible in Ah Yu's laughter.

After a while, seeing that Ah Yu stopped, he took a water bag to her, and waited for her to drink before continuing: "A year has passed, and the master received a letter from the head of the Shangqing Sect Guanyun, inviting him to go to the ceremony. ”

"What do you mean by a ceremony?"

"Every important ceremony needs to be watched by someone of considerable status and status. This is the viewing ceremony. The master and the Guanyun Daoist are old friends, they met when they were young, and after receiving the letter from the Guanyun Daoist, he immediately took me with him. ”

Ye Yunsheng looked at Ah Yu and said with a smile: "I know what you want to ask...... That ceremony was a celebration of the head of the Guanyun Dao sitting on the head of the Shangqing faction. This Guanyun Dao Master is also your ancestor, he is the Shangqing School Du Tianshi lineage, highly respected, and excellent martial arts. ”

"Ah, that ancestor is the boss of the Shangqing faction, daddy, the ancestor will pass on the position to you in the future, and you are also the boss of the Shangqing faction!"

Ye Yunsheng laughed, Ah Yu got out of the carriage, sat down next to Ye Yunsheng, stretched out her legs out of the front seat, and shook it; she shouted innocently and excitedly, "You are my father, pass the position to me in the future, I am the boss of the Shangqing faction!"

He hugged his daughter in his arms, kissed her face, and said: "The Shangqing faction belongs to the Shangqing Palace on Longhu Mountain, and the person designated by the old heavenly master of the palace to cultivate the Tao can sit in the position of the head of the Qing faction. It's not up to Master Ancestor and I to have the final say!"

The carriage walked to the end of the dirt road, where on one side is a steep forest stretching down, the forest is littered with rocks and grass, it is difficult to walk, and on the other side is a three-zhang high stone wall, which can be easily climbed by the people of the rivers and lakes, but it is not easy to cross the stone wall. Because the top part of the stone wall was hit with a row of iron spikes. If you can go up, you will come to a mountain road that turns in the direction, and you can see the stone steps extending upward.

When the carriage arrived, it could only move forward, and a wooden wall one foot high in front of it blocked the dirt road. There is a sluice in the middle of the wooden wall, and a half-person high horse-rejecting pile is placed outward, which turns out to be a cottage mouth.

"Cover your ears. Ye Yunsheng said to Ah Yu.

When she had covered her ears, he put his thumb on his index finger and put it in his mouth and whistled, hissing like a night owl. Even if Ah Yu covered his ears, he frowned uncomfortably.

In the rivers and lakes, there are only two types of camps in the mountains.

One is the heroes of the green forest, and the smaller ones are more than a dozen thieves who block the road and cut the path, and the large ones are hundreds and nearly thousands, and it is only ordinary for a state and a government to roar. These people belong to a gray force in the rivers and lakes, not good or bad, and for ordinary people, they are robbers and bullies.

The second type is the sect that stands on the mountain, in addition to the small sects, those who have been in business for decades, hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years, naturally gathered a group of followers in a long time. The higher the status of the rivers and lakes, the more they will not do everything by themselves, so this village near the left is like an old slave in the courtyard.
