The harsh winter of Sanjiu is not cold for one day, and the scorching heat for three dog days is not warm for one day.

After the beginning of spring, the willows on the riverside may have been drawn, but Wudang Mountain still does not feel the slightest warmth.

Xiao Yao Wang was tightly wrapped layer by layer, as bloated as a little snowman, and obediently stood aside to watch his brother practice swords.

Lu Chuan was wearing a single dress, walking like the wind, and his sword was walking into the dragon, practicing a set of swordsmanship that he had never practiced.

After practicing three times in one breath, he touched Yao Wang's little head in the past, and said with a smile: "Have you seen this set of Shushan Sect's Immortal Sword?"

Xiao Yao nodded and said, "I'll see it again." As he spoke, he also pulled out his small chest, and one hundred and eighty were not ambiguous.

Lu Chuan was amused by the little guy, stretched out his hand to hug him, and said while walking back: "Tomorrow my brother will go down the mountain, you have to follow the master to practice the sword on the mountain, Tai Chi Shenjian is to work hard, internal force is one aspect, qi yun is also one aspect." ”

Xiao Yao was puzzled: "What is Qi Yun?"

Lu Chuan smiled slightly, and explained: "Take this set of fairy swords just now, this set of swordsmanship was created with the charm of the poet immortal Li Bai, so if you practice to look like a drunken poet, Tai Chi Divine Sword, I think it's like the wind, just like water, to have the power of a storm waterfall, but also to have the gentle and gentle breeze of the water...... In general, it is necessary to be natural, and the moves, changes, and recruits must be natural, without any stiff edges and corners. I don't know the Tai Chi Divine Sword, and I can't say it clearly, you just follow the master and his old man to practice. ”

The little guy nodded, then rolled his eyes, and said in Lu Chuan's ear: "Brother, I will use the Tai Chi Divine Sword, let's find a place where no one is and I will teach you!"

Lu Chuan smiled dumbly, lightly tapped on the little guy's forehead and said, "Privately passing on the door is to violate the rules of the door, aren't you afraid that the master will hit your palm and punish you for thinking about it?"

Yao Wang touched his forehead, pouted and said, "Anyway, no one will know......"

The two brothers talked and laughed, and met Tang Meixuan head-on.

Lu Chuan hurriedly put down Xiao Yao Wang, bowed down and said, "Aunt Xuan." ”

Tang Meixuan nodded, came over and covered Yao Wangbingbing's face and little hands with her hands, and said, "It's only the fifth day of the new year tomorrow, I heard my sister say that you are leaving?"

"Yes, there are still a lot of things under the mountain, my fifth brother has no news to find Tang Ke'er, and these brothers who came with me can't stay. ”

"I don't know how I can help, or I'll go down the mountain with you tomorrow, your body ......"

Lu Chuan glanced at Xiao Yao Wang and shook his head slightly, "There is nothing wrong with my body, Aunt Xuan should stay on the mountain, although Wudang is safe, it is not an iron wall, and the ten absolute disciples can mix up the mountain once, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a second time." There are some clues in the capital, my father and mother must be going to investigate, I don't feel at ease when Wang'er is alone in the mountains, and I have to ask you to help take care of it. ”

Tang Meixuan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, then I'll be lazy." ”

“...... Don't worry about the affairs of the Tang Sect, Aunt Xuan, when I overthrow Liu Jin and kill the more than ten evils, I will definitely help you take it back. ”

Tang Meixuan shook her head, "Being the head of the Tang Sect is not what I want, firstly, it is difficult to disobey the master's fate, and secondly, I want to help Brother Xuan." Now, it's not interesting to do it any longer, now I just want to look at Wang'er, and the green light is yellow and yellow for this life. ”

Lu Chuan saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he pretended to be sad and sighed: "Alas...... It's a pity......"

Tang Meixuan believed it, looked up and asked, "Hmm, what is a pity?"

"It's a pity that the best men in this world, when you stand in front of the statue, they are not allowed to go down to earth as a bodhisattva......?

Tang Meixuan came to her senses at this time, and scolded with a smile: "You kid has a flamboyant tongue, you won't be on the road when you talk about it, you will be beaten!"

Lu Chuan smiled and ran away.

Today is the fourth day of the first lunar month, which is Lu Chuan's birthday.

The next morning, the five Lu Chuan brothers bid farewell to Lu Xiuyuan and his wife and their teachers and friends, and went down to Wudang Mountain.

After going down the mountain, I first had a good time in Jiang Jie's shop, and when I was full of wine and food, I parted ways.

Lu Chuan is going to Jinling.

Ye Wuxia said that Dao Jue lives in Jinling. Although he learned some news from all sides in the second half of last year, there were still many incomprehensible things, especially about the ten absolute things outside the Guan, which needed to be answered.

He only knew that his uncle Yao Qian wrote in "Filial Piety Swordsman" that one person can kill him, two people can be rivaled, and more than three people can only escape, but he doesn't know what Yao Wan's strength is, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old when he was angry, not to mention that he hadn't seen Yao Qi go all out, even if he did, he couldn't see through it with his vision at the time. Now that Yao Qian is dead, it is an eternal mystery how high the only martial arts pinnacle that has been recognized by the world in the past hundred years.

And the Ten Absolute Outside the Gate should be between the two of them, if he can stretch out his hand with the knife, he will know the gap between himself and these old guys.

That's why he had to find the knife.

And Ke Juxian, Jiang Qiusheng, Yan Jiading and Tong Yinhuai are going to the capital.

In fact, Ke Juxian was going to follow Lu Chuan, Tong Yinhuai was going to find Ye Wuxia, and Yan Jiading and Jiang Qiusheng could go anywhere. But they were all vetoed by Lu Chuan, it is naturally not good to follow him, as long as he shows up on the rivers and lakes, there will be trouble, these four people drag him down is a trivial matter, if he encounters a crisis, he is too busy to take care of himself, and he can't protect them, isn't it a loss-making deal to buy one get four free? It is not okay to go to Ye Wuxia, Ye Wuxia is a disciple of the Ten Peers, they are not, if the Ten Absolute Disciples make a move on them, Ye Wuxia can protect it? It is not easy for him to protect Tang Ke'er, so don't make any more trouble for him.

So Lu Chuan came up with an idea and asked them to go to the Canghai Dart Bureau. Isn't the Canghai Dart Bureau heavily guarded and not leaking? Then start from the inside and see if they can be impregnable internally!

Don't look at the four of them, three mouth cannons, and one artillery, but together they have to be skilled, have brains, and have a clean foundation and no reputation, they are the best candidates.

With these four living treasures, even if the Canghai Dart Game is really an iron wall, it can drill out an eye!

And at the same time as they went down the mountain, more than a dozen Taoist priests from Wudang Mountain also went down the mountain.

Their destination was the Five Sects and Thirteen Sects and the Immortal Mountain Taoist Temples in various places, in order to send letters to the various sects and sects of Qinglian Zhenren.

“...... Lu Chuan has a cruel temperament and is not suitable for Qing Xiu...... Therefore, he was expelled from Wudang ........."

Before Lu Chuan walked to Jinling, the news had already spread, and the restaurant and tea shop were talking about this matter everywhere, and Lu Chuan didn't know whether he should be happy?

Everything is going according to plan, and it seems that there should be joy.

But Wudang, after all, can't go back......

Li Peng, an old word cloud of the Song Dynasty: "Fold Qin Huai and dew the willows, bring the bright moon, and lean on the boat." Look at Pei Yu Xuanlan, the bag poems are stored in the brocade, and the river is full of Wu Tian. ”

Needless to say, the beautiful scenery of Qinhuai is not something that can be seen everywhere.

Tonight, in this Qin Huai's poems and paintings, a son, no, a swordsman stands on the bow of the boat with his hands, stepping on a flat boat, and floats away.

This is not the first time, he suddenly appeared a few days ago, and he has to walk on the Qinhuai River every night for several days.

If you board the ship, you will charter the entire red boat, and if you go ashore, you will also charter the entire flower building.

Occasionally, an eyeless rich boy comes to compete with him and is jealous, and he can't get any bargains, at most he asks for two boot prints. Then, there was no then.

Jinling City is not without magnates, on the contrary, Jinling is to stay in Beijing, also called Nanjing, and Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is set here. Later, Chengzu Zhu Di inherited the treasure and moved the capital to Yanjing, which is now the capital. Therefore, there are two sets of official positions in the Ming Dynasty, and there are Jinling in the five prefectures and six ministries at all levels, but the functions and powers are different, and the other grades are generally the same. Moreover, Jinling is located in the rich land of the south of the Yangtze River, and there are only a lot more rich and noble families than the capital.

But what's the use of this? I don't even know the names of the people, and I can't beat them, so go back and move the troops to find helpers, maybe when I come again, there will be no shadows left, and where will I find them in the vast sea? You must know that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not vegetarians, you can scold the king, and you can impeach hundreds of officials, and give you a book, saying that your son-in-law uses officers and soldiers to gather thugs to compete with others and be jealous, and your old man's black gauze hat is gone, and he has to lose his life in danger, so why bother to come.

And this person's arrogance of spending a lot of money and domineering arrogance make people have to guess his origin.

Some people say that he is a relative of the emperor, and some people say that he is the son of a certain head of the five sects and thirteen factions, in short, there are different opinions, but no one can guess his true identity.

As everyone knows, he is not an outsider, it is Lu Chuan, a Wudang outcast who everyone talks about in the teahouse and wine shop.

Anyway, didn't Lu Chuan come to Jinling to find a knife to be killed? Why did he run here and be happy? Alas...... The child has no mother, it's a long story. After he arrived in Jinling, he first went to the grave and worshiped in front of the grave of his grandparents, which is indispensable in the second season of the year. Then he didn't dare to delay at all, and according to what Ye Wuxia said, he went to find Dao Jue. Looking around, Ye Wuxia said that he found the place, but where is this? Isn't this his house? Since the incident of Yao Qian happened the year before last, and their family went to the capital, this house has never returned, and the big lock on the door has fallen to ashes.

Hehe, I didn't want Ye Wuxia to find myself at all, it's good now, such a master, where can I find the head and the tail when the dragon sees the head?

There was no way, so he had to change his plan. In addition, I encountered something on the way here and fished out a sum of silver, so I ran to the Qinhuai River to draw wind.

But it was said that Lu Chuan stepped on the flat boat and swayed twice, and several red boats followed, and people like him were not only liked by the women on the boat, but also by the owner of the boat.

The voices of solicitation continued, but Lu Chuan didn't pay attention, he thought to himself: "It's been three days, and it should have appeared." ”

Sure enough, a large ship with no lights sailed out of nowhere, and it was in front of the small boat on the road. As soon as the boat came out, the river suddenly fell silent, and the red boats quietly retreated behind, like a beast meeting the beastmaster.

Suddenly, the lights on the boat were bright, and a plain-clothed woman appeared at the bow of the boat, and said with a light smile: "Master Lu, please get on the boat." ”

Lu Chuan smiled slightly and said, "The boat is too high for me to get up, so I asked my sister to come down and pick me up." ”

A silver bell-like laugh sounded, and the woman covered her face with her sleeve and smiled: "Lu Gongzi is really good at joking, no matter what, the concubine is down." ”

I didn't see any movement as I spoke, but the person had already fallen like a light feather.

The dustless plain boots were just on the boat, but Lu Chuanyi stretched out his hand, supported his waist with his left hand, and supported his wrist with his right hand, and took the woman into his arms.

There was a murderous aura in the woman's eyes, but it flashed away, and she chuckled again: "Why is Lu Gongzi so anxious? There are still many sisters waiting on the ship." ”

Lu Chuan pretended to be light, sniffed the fragrance of the woman's body vigorously, and said in her ear: "The pearl is handed over to the jade body, and the wood is difficult among the corals." Luo Yi is fluttering, and the light coat is returned with the wind. If I don't hold such a beauty in my hand, I'm afraid I'll fly to the moon in the wind. ”

The woman chuckled lightly, but her body struggled hard, but she felt that Lu Chuan's fingers were cold, like iron hoops, and she couldn't break free at all.

Lu Chuan pulled down the sleeves of the woman's clothes by an inch, and saw that there was indeed a gold ring on Hao's wrist, which was inlaid with a leaf carved from jade.

"Red-sleeved soul hooker, jasper killing knife, sister, you won't kill me when you get on the boat, right?"

But what does Lu Chuan mean when he says this? How can a weak woman have anything to do with the word murder? Could it be that there is something strange about this big ship? In fact, the phrase "red-sleeved soul hooker, jasper killing knife" does not sound interesting to ordinary people, but it is very famous when placed on the rivers and lakes, and these ten words are about a sect in the rivers and lakes, an unusual sect called the Jasper Gate.

As the saying goes, monks and women must not face the enemy, and there must be surgical means when facing the enemy. The monks, women's body and diet determine that their physical strength is not as good as ordinary people after all, and if you want to win people, you can only work clever words, either the martial arts are very outstanding, or you have to study the door in the blade, hidden weapons, and poisons. And the Jasper Sect, an all-female sect, can be among the eighty-one gates, which can be imagined.

In addition, the Jade Gate is a hidden sect, with a vague whereabouts, and never asks about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. No one knows where they are, how many of them there are, what their martial arts path is, and so on. There are only rumors in the rivers and lakes that their master is called Night Guanyin, and each of them is called Night Guanyin, saying that they are hiding in various places in the rivers and lakes of the three religions and nine streams, and that each of them has a gold bracelet inlaid with jade leaves in their hands.

Whether it's true or not, I don't know, anyway, the vast majority of people haven't seen it, and those who have seen it come back are silent. In the long run, the jasper door has become synonymous with mystery, so mysterious that she will find you when you ask for something, but it is impossible for you to find her.

Lu Chuan also had no way to lure her out, and as for whether she was evil or good on the boat, I don't know, maybe it was a fairyland on earth, or it could be a hell of a thousand tribulations.

But these are nothing to him, what he has to do is to do it, is there any difference between difficult and easy?

But said that this woman from the Jade Gate, she had never been so despised by others, and at this time, just listening to Lu Chuan's voice felt sick to her stomach, and she couldn't help but say angrily: "Lu Chuan, what do you want?"

Lu Chuan smiled: "I'm here to have fun, I wanted my sister to pick me up, but I didn't expect my sister to be weak and couldn't pull me, so let me send my sister up." As he spoke, he put his arms around the woman and got into the boat.

When she arrived on the boat, the woman quickly broke free of Lu Chuan's arm, glanced at him fiercely, wiped the hand he had just touched with her sleeve, and didn't turn back to the cabin.

Lu Chuan stood on the boat and instructed the boatman below: "You go back, you won't pick me up tomorrow." ”

The shipman left in response, and Lu Chuan walked into the cabin.

I saw that the candles in the cabin were at the beginning of the candles, and the embroidered curtains in the water pavilion were slanted, which was not the appearance of the outside at all.

More than a dozen beauties are elegant, but they are more breathtaking than those women with heavy makeup.

Lu Chuan exclaimed: "No wonder the monarch and emperor are rich in the world, but it is inevitable that they are greedy for sex and mislead the country, and the color word is really the most poisonous poison in the world." He quickly gathered his mind and went over and sat down on the upper seat.

The orchestra silk bamboo sounded suddenly, and several beauties each took a cup, moved the lotus step lightly, and frequently persuaded wine.

When Lu Chuan gradually couldn't resist it, he only heard someone say coldly: "Don't make a scene, Lu Gongzi is a fisherman and won't take the bait." ”

As soon as these words came out, the beautiful woman who was originally smiling with low eyebrows immediately sank her face and became cold as frost. There was deathly silence in the cabin.

Lu Chuan sighed, looked up, and saw that the woman who had just been lightly tied by his own scarf and arrow sleeves, dressed in rivers and lakes, appeared in front of him again. Jade Finger was holding the jasper knife tightly, and was slashing him with her eyes.

"Sister, why did you change your face so quickly? I did all the tricks, let me die in the gentle township, and I was willing......"

didn't wait for Lu Chuan to finish speaking, the woman's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she said: "You surnamed Lu don't play scoundrels, if you have any last words, say it quickly, after speaking, my aunt and grandmother will chop you up and throw you into the river to feed the fish!"

"Uh...... Sister, I'm here to do business with you. ”

"Buying and selling?

"Of course it's to buy the news, could it be that you Jade Gate is still doing other business?"

Lu Chuan snorted as he spoke, with a lustful expression in his eyes, and the woman suddenly felt a wave of nausea in her heart, and said hatefully: "Leng Longling and the Jiang family in the capital have a relationship with you, so why can you come to me to buy news?"

Lu Chuan poured himself a glass of wine, and said slowly: "That's different, our Leng Longling is mostly news from the government and the imperial court, and the Jiang family is mostly news from the rivers and lakes, if you want to find out the news of the woman, you have to find your Jade Gate, right?"

The woman sneered: "If you dare to be so arrogant, I won't do your business!"

"Don't, isn't it just for the sake of making money? ”

"Do you have any silver?"

As soon as the woman said and stretched out her hand, a woman next to her put a bag in her hand, Lu Chuan saw that it was his bag, and quickly touched his body, his bag was indeed missing, and he didn't even know when he didn't see it, and he was a little embarrassed. But the woman smiled, but she wasn't as angry as she had just been.

Lu Chuan pretended to be relaxed, and said with a smile: "Sister, that's not a money bag." Besides, there is so much money to buy news, and a small money bag can't fit it. ”

The woman said proudly: "I know it's not a money bag, but this jade ring inside is worth much more than your scattered silver." ”

Of course, there is a jade ring, and there is a total of one bag on his body, which is the one given by Miss Zhangjia of Yunxi County, although he has not opened it, but he can know what is inside by touching it from the outside. This jade ring is a token of the two of them.

But he couldn't care so much now, so he hurriedly said while the woman was happy: "Since my sister likes it, then I should compensate my sister." Silver, I have. ”

The woman raised her eyebrows and asked, "Where?"

"Chuzhou, Land Temple. ”

"That dart in the Canghai Dart Bureau was really robbed by you?"

"Not bad!"

"Sixty thousand taels?"

"Exactly, but I spent some, and now I don't have sixty thousand taels. ”

"How many more?"

"No, let's do business, can't I say you want as much as you want, right?"

The woman gritted her teeth and said, "One news is 10,000 taels, no bargain!"

"Ten thousand taels...... Ok ok. ”

"You're not kidding, are you?"

"How can it be? Isn't my sister taking the money to help orphans and widows? Actually, what I like most about my sister is this, Bodhisattva's heart, if you get a wife like this, what more can your husband ask for? ”

The woman's face turned red and she said, "You really dare to rob, aren't you afraid of offending the Cang faction, aren't you afraid that those five swordsmen will trouble you?"

"They can give corrupt officials bodyguards, but I can't rob them? If they dare to come, I have something to say." ”

The woman smiled: "The little northern devil really lives up to its reputation, it's really ...... Act recklessly. Say, what news do you want. ”

"What's my sister's name?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Let you ask for news, where did you get so much nonsense!"

"That's the first question. ”

The woman gritted her teeth and said, "Ten thousand taels!"

"Ten thousand taels. ”

"One word is ten thousand taels!"

"Uh...... I hope my sister's name isn't too long. ”

"My name is ...... Murong Yun. ”

"Night Guanyin Murong Yun, such a beautiful name, just like people......"

Lu Chuan's beautiful words hadn't come out yet, but when he saw that Murong Yun's eyebrows were about to get angry, he suddenly didn't dare to say anything more, and quickly changed his words: "The second news, Weng Lei." ”

"Your aunt?"

"It used to be my aunt. ”

"What do you want to know about her?"

"News before marrying my uncle. ”

Murong Yun called a woman, whispered a few words, and the woman left.

"Wait a minute, do you have any questions?"

"No...... Oh, there's another one, I have a younger sister named Lu Luo, who was born in the eighth year of Hongji, and was taken away by an old Taoist in the ninth year of Hongzhi due to serious illness, I want to know...... Is she still in this world?"

"I'll send someone to check on this matter, and I'll find a way to inform you as soon as there's news, and you can pay half of the money first." ”

"No, I'll give you all the money. ”

"It's okay, I'll send someone with you to get the money, and when the time comes, you'll have a hand of money and a handful of goods. ”

Lu Chuan nodded, got up and walked out of the cabin, but heard Murong Yun say behind his back: "You are not allowed to tell others my name!"

He smiled slightly, didn't stop, and left.
