Chapter 21: The Wind and the Rain

"Quanzhou?"

Liu Xunyi frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully: "The place where Jiangnan Lufu is located is Quanzhou, Luo Tianjin's trip is not to visit Lu Tingxiang?"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "A major event has happened in the rivers and lakes in the month of your retreat, not only will Luo Tianjin appear in Quanzhou in seven days, I believe that all the sects and factions of the martial arts will send people to Jiangnan Lufu." ”

"Why is this?" Liu Xunyi was confused when he heard this, and asked, "Could it be that something happened to the Lu Mansion?

"Haha......" Zhao Yuan laughed when he heard this, "Jiangnan Lufu is one of the four great families of martial arts, it has been passed down for four generations, and it has stood in the rivers and lakes for nearly a hundred years.

"That ......"

"Xunyi, have you ever heard of Mo Cen? Zhao Yuandao, "This time, the heroes of the rivers and lakes gathered in Jiangnan Lufu, it is precisely because of this person. ”

Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Mo Cen ...... 'Fuhu Knife' Mo Cen...... I've heard of this man's name before, and he was a well-known figure back then. Legend has it that twenty-five years ago, for the sake of national righteousness, he led twelve masters of the rivers and lakes to infiltrate the Bianjing Palace to assassinate Wanyan Shouxu, the lord of the Jin State, but finally returned with a feather. Since then, Mozen has gone into hiding, living a life without quarrel with the world, so that there has been no news of him in the rivers and lakes for nearly twenty years. Now calculated, Mo Cen should be almost in the year of the sixtieth year. ”

"Yes, seven days later it will be Mozen's sixtieth birthday. Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Although it is rumored that he has been obscure in the past twenty-five years, he has never really left the rivers and lakes for a day, but there is not much news about him, which gives people the illusion of retreat." Now that you know that Mo Cen once assassinated Yan Shouxu, then you must have heard of another incident that caused a huge storm in the rivers and lakes. ”

"What Master Hou said is...... The 'Shocking Wind and Rain Map' that was stolen from the Imperial Palace of the Jin Kingdom?" Liu Xunyi frowned, and said slowly, "Back then, Mo Cen and the others failed to successfully assassinate Yan Shouxu, and none of the twelve people who went with him were spared, and all of them died tragically in Bianjing City, but he was the only one who fought his way out in the pursuit of the masters of the Jin Kingdom, so he picked up a life. Soon after, there was news that the treasure of the Jin royal family's 'Shocking Wind and Rain Map' was stolen in the rivers and lakes, and for a while, everyone in the world believed that Mo Cen had stolen this map. ”

Zhao Yuan asked again: "Then do you know what is special about this 'Storm and Rain Map'?"

Liu Xunyi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and said jokingly: "Don't you really dare to assert it, but according to legend, this picture contains a big secret about the fortunes of the Jin Kingdom." There are many rumors in the rivers and lakes, among which there are two most commonly heard, one of which is that the 'Storm and Rain Map' is a treasure map, implying that the Jin royal family has treasured the huge treasure for many years. Another rumor is that this diagram is actually a set of meridian operation diagrams of the inner strength and mental method, called 'Golden Feather Divine Skill'. The Golden Feather Divine Skill is said to be better than the Shaolin 'Yijin Sutra' peerless internal martial arts, as long as you practice this skill to the realm of great success, you can dominate the martial arts, and there is no rival in the world. Speaking of this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help laughing at himself, "But rumors are always rumors, as for whether they are true or not, then ......."

Zhao Yuanying said: "Yes, it was precisely because of this 'Shocking Wind and Rain Map' that Mo Cen was chased and killed by various sects and factions of the martial arts, and the world regarded this picture as a treasure that ascended to the sky in one step, but forgot the truth of the rumors. Those who seek profit call it 'stormy rain', which means that gold and silver are like the wind, money and grain are like rain, and with it you can call the wind and rain. The martial idiot calls it 'Golden Phoenix Feather', which means that it is the peerless martial art 'Golden Feather Divine Skill'. As the saying goes, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, where can anyone care if it is true or false? Mo Cen also lived an embarrassing life at the end of the world, and almost died in the pursuit several times back then, but fortunately, he also had a Jinlan brother, and it was precisely because of this brother that he stepped forward when he was in danger, which allowed Mo Cen to escape death and avoid the disaster of blood and light. ”

Back then, Mo Cen's Jinlan brothers were one of the four great families of martial arts, and the previous head of the Jiangnan Lu Mansion, Lu Chongyang. Liu Xunyi had also heard about this history of the rivers and lakes, so he responded, "Lu Chongyang used his status in the rivers and lakes to deter the heroes, so that they did not dare to be aggressive against Mo Cen anymore, so Mo Cen was able to take a breather. ”

"Exactly. Zhao Yuanzheng said, "Although Mo Cen denied stealing the 'Shocking Wind and Rain Map' in front of outsiders back then, he finally chose to admit it in front of Lu Chongyang. Back then, Lu Chongyang said in front of the world's heroes that no matter whether the 'Shocking Wind and Rain Map' was true or false, and whether the picture was in Mo Cen's hands or not, no one in the world was qualified to ask Mo Cen for it. Because the Jin Kingdom has been destroyed, the 'Shocking Wind and Rain Map' has since lost its original owner, Mo Cen once infiltrated the Bianjing Palace for the Great Song Dynasty and died nine lives, and was a hero of the Great Song Dynasty and a hero of the Han people. Therefore, even if the picture is in Mo Zen's hands, it should belong to him, and others have no right to ask, let alone ask for it. ”

"What Lu Chongyang said is reasonable!" Liu Xunyi listened to the passionate indignation, and nodded again and again, "Since that picture was obtained by Mo Cen from death, then others are indeed not qualified to ask him." ”

Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Others are not qualified, but what about the twelve righteous men who followed Mo Cen to Bianjing back then?" According to Lu Chongyang's reasoning, the other twelve people who infiltrated Bianjing are also heroes of the Great Song Dynasty, because they were also born and died for the Great Song Dynasty, and even paid for their lives, and their merits are not far behind Mo Cen. Mo Cen was able to successfully steal this map, and those twelve righteous men should be indispensable, otherwise Mo Cen would never have this opportunity. ”

Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be stunned, and after thinking about it, it seemed to make some sense, and his expression became a little hesitant, and he said to himself: "It's not wrong to say this......

"In addition to Mo Cen back then, the twelve righteous men came from various sects and factions in the rivers and lakes. Although they had died in Bianjing, the sect they belonged to did not intend to stop there, so even with Lu Chongyang as a guarantor, they still did not give up on Mo Cen, and vowed to force him to hand over the 'Shocking Wind and Rain Map' before they would give up. Zhao Yuan explained.

Liu Xunyi was not born when this happened, so he was not clear about many of the details, and when he heard Zhao Yuan's old story again, his mood became nervous. Liu Xunyi asked worriedly: "Then what happened? Can Lu Chongyang be the enemy of the various sects for Mo Cen?"

Zhao Yuan slowly shook his head and said, "At that time, Lu Chongyang thought of an expedient measure, he admitted that the picture was indeed exchanged for the blood of Mo Cen and the twelve volunteers, and it condensed the common efforts of Mo Cen and the twelve soldiers, so this 'Storm and Rain Map' should be shared by them." However, although there are many sects, there is only one 'Shocking Wind and Rain Map', so in any case, this picture can only be placed in the hands of one person in the end, and it is impossible to divide it into more than a dozen pieces. Since the other twelve people are dead, only Mozen is the most qualified collector of this picture, and it stands to reason that this is the case. When Zhao Yuan recalled this past, a touch of admiration couldn't help but appear in his eyes, obviously Zhao Yuan was also quite appreciative of Lu Chongyang, who was righteous and insistent back then, and then said, "Lu Chongyang also said that as long as Mo Cen lives for a day, no one will think of the idea of fighting this picture, otherwise he will be the enemy of his Jiangnan Lu Mansion." Because of this, Mozen can live to this day unharmed. ”

"Grace and power are both powerful and reasonable. Lu Chongyang is willing to offend the people of the world for Mo Cen, he is really a hero!" Liu Xunyi said with emotion.

Five years ago, Lu Chongyang died of illness, and his son Lu Tingxiang inherited the position of the head of the Lu family, and still adhered to his father's love for Mo Cen. Zhao Yuan said, "The so-called tiger father has no dog, Lu Tingxiang can gain a firm foothold in the martial arts at a young age, and take charge of the huge Jiangnan Lu Mansion with his own strength, and make it prosperous, and everyone in the Lu Mansion is obedient to him, which shows that this person is by no means a mediocre person." ”

Liu Xunyi nodded and said: "Lu Tingxiang and Luo Tianjin are both one of the twelve heroes of the Central Plains martial arts, and Lu Tingxiang is also known as the 'first gentleman in martial arts', it seems that it is not groundless. At this point, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but change his words and asked, "Then now all the sects and factions are gathered in Jiangnan Lufu...... Aren't they all here to congratulate Mozen on his 60th birthday?"

"Yes and no. Zhao Yuan pretended to smile mysteriously, "Because seven days later, it will not only be Mo Cen's sixtieth birthday, but also the day when Mo Cen decides to wash his hands and retire to the rivers and lakes!"

"What?" Zhao Yuan's words surprised Liu Xunyi, and he said in surprise, "Mo Cen has been wandering the rivers and lakes for most of his life, and now he wants to wash his hands in a golden basin?"

Zhao Yuandao: "Others don't know, but Mo Cen did choose to wash his hands in the golden basin because he was timid, and he also posted a heroic post through Jiangnan Lufu, which was extremely powerful, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was going to retire." ”

Liu Xunyi nodded thoughtfully and said: "According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, once Mo Cen washes his hands, all the grievances and grievances of the past will be written off, and all the grievances and hatreds owed in the rivers and lakes will have nothing to do with him from now on." Jianghu affairs, rivers and lakes. But anyone who understands the rules will understand this truth, and Mo Cen does this, it seems that he also wants to live a peaceful old age. It's just that I can't understand that he has been living in obscurity for twenty-five years, why is he suddenly doing something so fanfare now?"

Zhao Yuan said with a smile: "Because he doesn't want to leave a hidden danger for his only son, it is rumored that a woman gave birth to a son for Mo Cen not long ago, this is not only Mo Cen's old man, but also the only person who can continue his Mo family's incense so far." What if it were you?"

"I see!" Liu Xunyi suddenly realized and said with a smile, "If there is no old man, presumably Mo Cen will not retire to the rivers and lakes in this life......" Liu Xunyi did not finish speaking, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he subconsciously exclaimed, "I understand! Seven days later, Mo Cen will wash his hands in a golden basin, which means that Mo Cen will no longer be a person in the rivers and lakes from that day on." According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the 'Stormy Rain Map' that caused a storm should not continue to remain in his hands. The so-called 'Pifu is not guilty of his crimes', if he does not hand over this picture, even if Mo Cen washes his hands 10,000 times, he will not want to escape the pursuit of various sects. Therefore, anyone in the martial arts who covets this map will go to Jiangnan Lufu seven days later, with the purpose of waiting for an opportunity to obtain this map from Mo Cen!"

"A good word!" Zhao Yuan nodded appreciatively, "The Storm and Rain Diagram has been silent for twenty-five years, and now it has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, which is bound to cause an uproar, and this turmoil is a great opportunity given to you by God." Because among the heroes who covet this picture, it is ...... who is second to none."

"King Beixian, Luo Tianjin!"
