The issue of banning by force has always been the most difficult problem between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, and there is no solution. At that time, the Ming Dynasty had just unified the Central Plains, and there was a flourishing sect in the north, and the people in it were chivalrous and righteous, and they had a very good reputation when they saw the unevenness of the road and drew their swords to help.

But in doing so, it is a big taboo, how are they doing, they are also the people, and the people kill the people, they have violated the law of the Ming Dynasty, and they will be killed.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty had just unified the Central Plains, and many things were not on the right track, and even the local county government had only one county master, and there was also a master who followed the county master here.

Enforce the Great Ming Law?

Maybe the county magistrate will be killed at home the next day.

But once the men of that sect killed a man, a young man.

That young man was the grandson of an old man who had made great achievements in the Spring and Autumn Period, with Taizong fighting for many years, and the only grandson, as for the old man's son, he died in order to save Taizong, who was surrounded by enemy troops.

Now the old man was angry, and went directly to the palace to ask Taizong for an explanation. Taizong didn't know about this, and after listening to the old man's description, he directly sent the old man to Youzhou with an army of 30,000 troops.

At that time, the king of Liang, who had just fought in the Spring and Autumn Period, came to Youzhou to take up the domain, and after hearing about this, he came directly to the old man who was on the horse and killed a woman and child with a knife, and directly cut off the old man's head with a knife, and said softly, "Don't worry, this king will not kill anyone, but you will all go back to Chang'an City for me." ”

The moment the 30,000 soldiers saw King Liang, they had no intention of fighting, and when they heard King Liang's words, they scattered and fled.

King Liang rode a horse to a middle-aged man who was guarding countless women and children behind him.

The middle-aged man was the same age as King Liang, but his body was covered in scars.

King Liang threw the head in his hand to the ground and said softly, "You did the right thing, rest assured, no one dares to do anything to you anymore, but those who died, it's a pity." ”

The old man, who was still middle-aged at the time, had blood stains on his body, but he just nodded slightly.

After that, the old man arranged the women and children of those sects to the foot of the mountain.

In the end, the old man was left alone, and there was nothing else, and even the old man had to look at the mountain gate for a long time every time he returned to the mountain, but most of it was taken away, and only the two bare pillars remained.

It's not that no one wants to apprentice, some children from poor families at the bottom of the mountain, or children who can't survive, will come here to try their luck, and if they choose, they can have no worries about food and clothing.

But often these children come and are blocked by the almost demanding entry requirements, which is prohibitive.

So, now only the old man is left, every day will sit here, smoking a cigarette stick, looking at the white clouds that pass here every day, stunned, often stay for half a day, people in the village will not come here, they all know that this is the forbidden place of the old man. Even the naughty children will be told by the adults to stay away from here.

After sitting here for half a day, the old man would take a few sheep he had raised and start grazing them on the nearby hills. Most of the time, the old man would not go down the mountain, and when he went down the mountain, he would live here for a while in Lu Li, teach Lu Li a little something, and then return to the mountain.

It is true that the people in the village respect the old man, but for the old man's full of rivers and lakes, especially the bullshit rules of the master, the villagers are a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, one day, a group of people came here, broke into the mountain gate, and they told the old man that they would demolish this place, so that the old man, who looked weak and had no one around him, would leave.

Where is the old man willing, the division fought with the imperial court back then, and the old man was left alone, he didn't leave here, and it is impossible now.

No one on either side is willing to give in, the stalemate has been a long time, although the people on the opposite side want to bully the old man alone, but it seems that he is not arrogant in doing things, and he does not force the old man, but he just sent someone to come, and proposed to try it with the old man, and he won, the mountain gate was demolished, and he lost, and he went back to his home, and helped the old man rebuild the mountain gate.

The old man didn't agree, and the lobbyists still talked and talked in front of him, and the old man just stared blankly at every white cloud that passed by here, and didn't say a word.

Eventually, the lobbyists didn't come, and were replaced by thugs who carried sticks and walked around the neighborhood every day.

The old man still laughed at it, smoked a cigarette stick, and continued to look at the sky, which time he was annoyed to watch, and directly knocked the person down the mountain with a cigarette stick, but no one came, no one came.

After a long time, an old man who was as old as the old man came here, but he didn't bring any servants or weapons, just held a pot of wine, sat next to the old man, and didn't speak, just quietly accompanied the old man to watch the sky.

One day, two days, three days。。。。。。

A month later, when the old man came here with a flask, the old man, who had never paid attention to the old man, took the flask from the old man's hand for the first time and said something.

"Tomorrow you send someone to build a ring, and the two of us will compete, and whoever falls out of the ring will lose. You won, here's yours, I'll win, you get out of the way with your flask. ”

After hearing this, the old man smiled and left, for the first time in several months, he did not accompany the old man to watch the sky.

They moved quickly, and the ring was set up the next day.

In the makeshift ring, the old man held his hands on his hands, the cigarette stick was pinned to his waist, and he did not carry any other weapons. The old man was holding a long sword and stood opposite the old man.

The two kept fighting, the long sword in the old man's hand kept waving, and the old man didn't fight back, just blocked it with the cigarette stick on his waist, and as a result, he was beaten and retreated.

The people in the audience naturally applauded constantly, cheering for the old man's offensive, and on the old man's side, no one was behind him to help the old man.

But no one expected that the old man only used one move, and the old man flew out upside down and fell into the ring.

Everyone in the audience hurriedly helped the old man up, but the old man, who was only slightly injured, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, bowed his hand to the old man on the stage to pay respect, and then left with everyone.

Only then did everyone know that the old man was a master, very high, very high, and those who offended the old man on weekdays were all trembling in their hearts, afraid that the old man would come to find trouble for him, but unfortunately the old man did not.

"Tear it down. ”

Everyone was just about to leave, but they heard the old man in the ring say this. Everyone stopped and looked at the old man with some puzzlement.

The old man stood in the ring, the cigarette stick in his hand didn't know when it was lit, exhaled a puff of smoke, and the old man looked at the mountain gate of his division for a while, looking a little lonely.

"Tear it down. ”

After speaking, regardless of everyone's strange eyes, he staggered into the teacher's door, leaving everyone with a back.

The old man looked at the back of the old man leaving, seemed to understand something, laughed, and broke the long sword in his hand directly at the waist, his hands were bleeding nonstop, and laughter resounded through the mountains and forests.

Everyone didn't understand why the alliance leader would break his sword like this, and only those old people who had followed the alliance leader guessed something, looked a little lonely, and pursed their lips.

The old man bowed in the direction of the old man's departure, and then left.

After that, there was one more Beimeng on the west mountain outside Qingshan City, one more Qingshan Village under the mountain, and one more old Han village chief in the village.

There are no other villages near Xishan, and they have all moved here

。

No one knows why the old man, who ignored anyone, was willing to agree to the leader of the alliance and become the village chief of Qingshan Village, but because of what happened before, everyone admired the old man.

This time I went down the mountain to herd sheep and happened to meet Wang Yi, which was specially done by the old man, because someone brought a message saying that the kindness owed back then would be repaid. Although the old man didn't dare to say that he was a good person, at least he still knew about it.

Pick up the cigarette stick from your waist and tap it lightly on the door.

"It's coming. ”

After three knocks on the door, a voice inside was getting closer.

After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and a tired woman appeared in front of Wang Yi, frowning lightly, gloomy clouds, but it was difficult to hide the fragrance of the country, the clear water came out of the hibiscus, and the slender body added a lot of color, a good beauty.

"Smack. ”

"Old man, why are you beating me? ”

The old man glanced at Wang Yi, who was covering his head, and asked the woman who opened the door, "Xiaoli, failed again?"

The person called Xiaoli curled his lips a little aggrieved, his face was full of unhappiness, and he didn't know what was going on, Wang Yi was very curious.

"Master, the proportion of that medicinal herb is too difficult, and Xiaoli still doesn't know how to do it. ”

The old man changed his previous appearance, and his eyes were full of warmth looking at his juniors, "It's okay, Xiaoli, Master is back." ”

"Uh-huh, who is this, Master?"

Xiao Li had already seen Wang Yi behind the old man, but he only asked now.

The old man glanced at Wang Yi, who was holding the old horse behind him, and said softly: "He, Xiaoli is not a person who lacks test medicine, this kid is." ”

"What, old man, you didn't say that before, you said 。。。。。。 ”

"Whatever I say, I say whatever I say. ”

Before Wang Yi finished speaking, the old man waved his hand directly and interrupted Wang Yi's words, obviously a little impatient.

"Old man, I don't sell my art. ”

The old man also ignored Wang Yi's protests, and directly pulled Xiaoli into the yard, Wang Yi had no choice but to lead the old horse and follow them into the yard.

Walking into the courtyard, a smell of medicinal herbs came from the surface, Wang Yi was a little caught off guard, coughed several times, and the old man took Xiaoli to rummage in front of several medicine shelves.

There is a willow tree in the middle of the yard, but it is smaller than the willow tree at the entrance of the village.

The courtyard is large, with six rooms, well laid out, as if someone had carefully designed it, and between each house, there is a corridor interspersed with it.

In the courtyard, there are two flower fields with a variety of flowers and plants.

Wang Yi was very surprised in his heart, it was only February, and there were still a few days before March, and there was not a single willow tree green bud outside, and the flowers and plants were in full bloom here, and the spring was high.

Wang Yi took a deep breath, this is not simple, it is not just the result of careful care.

In front of a room, there was a peach blossom tree with green buds just growing, and next to it there was a piece of wood inserted in the earth, apparently this peach blossom must have been planted recently.

In front of that room, there is a cyan curtain embroidered with a lotus flower, the style is very special, but Wang Yi is not unfamiliar, because such a lotus style is very common here in Youzhou, and it is a custom to pray for peace.

At that time, on the door of his own house, the lotus flower shown by his mother was the most beautiful in the neighborhood, and those women who had not yet come out of the cabinet would come to their home to learn this lotus practice with their mother.

Thinking about it, Wang Yi raised his head and looked at the sky, it turned out that it was already night.
