Chapter 4 Sacrifice to the Heavenly Sword
"Uncle Huang, is that you?" the person who came was the young man, who helped the Taoist priest and asked tentatively.
The Taoist priest was panicked for a while, and then said calmly: "Thank you for the grace of Engong's rescue, poor Dao Tian Liwei, not surnamed Huang, Engong is afraid that he recognized the wrong person!" After speaking, the Taoist priest struggled to leave alone.
The young man was reluctant, and hurriedly grabbed the Taoist priest, and at the same time tore off the clothes on his face, and said earnestly: "Uncle Huang, your back is so familiar, and your judge's pen." Uncle Huang, I won't mistake you, I'm Shan'er, I'm Shan'er, look at it, do you still recognize me?"
"Shan'er?" the Taoist priest said suspiciously: "What kind of mountain, poor Dao doesn't know each other, and again, poor Dao Tian Liwei, not surnamed Huang." The Taoist priest said, a little angry.
The young man hurriedly grabbed the Taoist priest's arm and said, "Uncle Huang, do you remember fifteen years ago, the ghost doctor Hu Yimai in Liaoerwa?
The Taoist priest looked at it for a long time, and quickly pulled the scarf on his face, looking at the young man's hopeful eyes, he couldn't help but cry.
"Shan'er, you are really a mountain, haha, you are really a mountain" The Taoist priest was overjoyed and said with tears in his eyes: "At that time, you were still a child, but I didn't expect that after so many years, you would grow into a big guy." ”
Huang Shan shed tears and choked up: "Uncle Huang, I have been looking for you so hard, in the past two years, I heard that you are in Yangzhou, I have been looking for it every day, looking for it every day, I didn't expect the emperor to live up to his heart, I found you." ”
This Taoist priest is the son of Huang Zicheng, Huang Gui. After the Battle of Zhu Dijing, Emperor Jianwen disappeared, and the civil and military forces in the dynasty were purged and killed. The prefect of Yangzhou had eight friendships with Huang Zicheng, so he secretly took Huang Gui out, and assumed the pseudonym Tian Liwei, and avoided being killed as a Taoist priest.
Huang Shan wiped away his tears and muttered: "Uncle Huang, it's been fifteen years, and you have aged a lot, you see that your hair has turned so white." ”
Huang Gui caressed Huang Shan's head lovingly, and said with infinite emotion: "Alas! The world is impermanent, and there are four orders of time, how can there be any reason for immortality? ”
Speaking of the master, Huang Shan was silent for a while, and he asked weakly: "Uncle Huang, my master, did you really die back then? And where is my master now?" Do you know?"
Huang Gui also sighed with emotion, thinking of the bits and pieces he had with Xi Zhen, Huang Gui's old face looked a little decadent.
"Afterwards, I went to Fengyunling, there were no more people there, and I also went to Guan Yuezhuang to look for it, but I didn't find any clues about your master. Later, I heard the brothers of the Liu family say that your master's last move was to live the same life in heaven and earth, and then he and Guan Yi fell under the cliff. Later, they went down the mountain to look for it, but found nothing. ”
Huang Gui sighed: "The last person who saw your master and sister was the Liu family brothers, but you probably don't have any clues when you look for them, time has passed, after all, it has been fifteen years." ”
Huang Shan sneered: "I know, I am also unwilling, although I also know that it is impossible, but ......"
Huang Gui didn't want Huang Shan to immerse himself in the past, so he hurriedly asked: "Shan'er, you said that you have been looking for me for a long time, is there something wrong?
Huang Shan hurriedly helped Huang Gui find a sheltered place to sit down, then found a pile of dry firewood, lit a fire and said: "Uncle Huang, I am looking for you, first, to find the master and the master, and I want to ask them if they have looked for you." Second, when I entered the rivers and lakes this time, my master asked me to go to Yunnan to protect a person, who is also the person you know best. ”
"Who?"
"This person is Emperor Jianwen first. ”
"Is he still alive?" Huang Gui asked a little excitedly.
"Yes," Huang Shan said, "not only did he live, but he also took away the Heavenly Sacrifice Sword left by the first emperor." Emperor Taizu once said that the Heavenly Sword and the Jade Seal of the Kingdom are the basis for the emperor's inheritance, and both are indispensable. If there is no Heavenly Sacrifice Sword, even if it is in the ancestral tomb, it cannot be recognized by the ancestors. ”
"Yes, I've heard the legend of the Heavenly Sword, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”
Huang Shan sighed lightly and said, "It is said that the imperial court is now sending Jinyi guards everywhere to find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen and the Heavenly Sacrifice Sword. Ma Sanbao was given the name Zheng He and was about to follow the sea route to find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Sacrifice Sword. ”
"Okay, I wish you success" Huang Gui's eyes were full of tears and said: "It's a pity that your Uncle Huang is old, and his heart is light, and he doesn't want to get involved in these grievances and disputes." I just want to find a place where I can die between the springs and forests, and besides, I'm injured now, so I can't go with you. ”
Huang Shan was a little stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Huang, where are you going to go on this trip?"
Huang Gui smiled miserably and said: "I was originally from Yuanzhou Mansion, but there are only dry bones and grass left at home, but no matter what, I still have to go back to my hometown, even if I die, I can't be a ghost in a foreign land." I'm going to go to Yuanzhou, and then find a place to live this last life. ”
Huang Shan sighed: "The way of heaven has its own reincarnation, Uncle Huang doesn't have to be depressed, besides, you still have us no matter what, don't you?" I also want to go to Yuanzhou and look at Fengyunling to see if I can find the traces of my sister and Senior Brother Pei Yun." ”
Huang Gui said indifferently: "That's fine, there is a Wuwei Guan not far away, the Guan Lord is my old acquaintance, we can go there to recuperate for a while, and when I recover from my injury, we can go together." ”
Huang Shan readily agreed, and after the fire, he carried Huang Gui forward and went to the view of non-action.
In Yangzhou City, in a large mansion, under the corpse display hall of the three brocade guards, the head holding the flying claw stood aside with his head bowed, and four brocade guards stood behind the head, bowing their heads and not daring to speak.
A big man dressed in a thousand costumes paced back and forth, his brows furrowed together, and he seemed to be very anxious and very angry.
"Bai Si, Bai Si, the eight of you can't even put a stinky Taoist priest, but you have lost the face of our Eagle Claw Gate. Qianhu stopped and pointed at the head called Bai Si and scolded: "How did you promise me, you said that you would definitely be able to arrest him, whether he lives or dies, but now? Three of my brothers died, and a few were injured." The imperial court has raised soldiers for a thousand days and used them for a while, and they usually treat you well, so do you repay the imperial court like this?"
Bai Si trembled for a while, trembled and said timidly: "Senior Brother Nangong, this time it's not that Senior Brother doesn't work hard, just when I want to succeed......"
Qianhu was furious, and hurriedly shouted: "How many times have I told you, there is no senior brother here, only adults, have you forgotten? What is your brain used for? If it is just used for food, I don't think it is okay." ”
Bai Si trembled all over, and hurriedly replied tremblingly, "Yes, yes, master...... What the adults taught was that their subordinates knew that they were wrong. This time, his subordinates were about to succeed, but he suddenly rushed out and rescued the person. ”
"What? Who did it? Who was so bold as to dare to save people at the hands of Jinyiwei?"
Bai Si secretly glanced at Qianhu and hurriedly said, "I don't know who that person is, but judging from the voice, that person should just be a teenager." ”
"Teenager?"
"Yes, he shot very fast, and I didn't have time to react, so I was restrained by him, so my subordinates, my subordinates really have no choice. ”
"Oh?" Qianhu said in a deep voice, holding his short beard like a halberd under his chin, "It is said that with your Bai Si's martial arts, few people in the rivers and lakes can subdue you with one move, let alone a teenager. Do you know what kind of sect this person's martial arts path belongs to?"
Bai Si secretly wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and said tremblingly: "Lord Qianhu, that person's internal strength is fierce and domineering, and then it is another move to subdue his subordinates, and his subordinates have not had a chance to fight with him, and they can't see what kind of martial arts they are." ”
Qianhu pondered for a moment, he really couldn't think of anyone among the younger generation of chivalrous warriors in recent years who could subdue Bai Si with one move, and his internal strength was known for his fierceness.
Qianhu waved his hand extremely impatiently and said, "Okay, bury the dead brothers well, and the injured brothers hurry up to heal." Come back to my room, and tell me in detail, a bunch of useless things. ”
Bai Si and a few brocade guards hurriedly received the order, carried a few corpses, and hurriedly walked out.
It was night, Qianhu and Bai Sifang drank together, Qianhu sighed and said: "Senior brother, don't blame Senior Brother for being difficult for you during the day, our Eagle Claw Gate is thin, and it is not easy to have today's achievements in the imperial court, we can't ruin the reputation of Eagle Claw Gate, do you understand?"
Bai Si nodded and said: "Senior brother blames that today is the junior brother who was suddenly attacked, if he meets him again in the future, even if I am broken, I will fight with him to the death." ”
Qianhu nodded and said, "You mean that man's internal strength is known for his fierceness, how fierce he is, you can tell me." ”
Bai Si told him in detail how the young man used a flying stone to break a knife during the day, and how he could still kill people by swinging a few feet with a knife, and Qianhu condensed his worries while listening: because of what Bai Si said, I'm afraid even he can't do it himself.
The more you drink the wine of a thousand households, the more worried you become, how can there suddenly be a young master who is not known in the rivers and lakes? And it seems that this young master is not a member of the imperial court, and he does not seem to have a good impression of the imperial court. Qianhu sighed in his heart, if he encountered it in the future, it would be a difficult bloody battle.
