Lincheng Ink Chapter 72: The Old Man of the Rivers and Lakes
Zhongxihou has seen a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, and naturally, the people who can get along with him in the west city are all famous people in the world.
Zhong Xihou also knows a lot of Jianghu organizations, but because Zhong Xihou is not only a generation of swordsmen, but also the lord of a city, there are only a handful of places he has visited. Similarly, he has never been to the mountain gate Zhuangzi of those Jianghu organizations.
The Mo family's Tianshui Villa is really on the mountain, and he doesn't know how much it occupies, and it is difficult to know how many people there are.
The stone archway at the foot of the mountain is still really magnificent, and the mythical beast on the pillar is not a dragon or a tiger, but a few phoenix birds. The first four big characters on the archway, Tianshui Villa.
Zhong Xihou stared at these words and couldn't help nodding slightly, wonderful.
Hua Shaohong looked at Zhongxi Hou in front of the memorial arch to welcome guests, and couldn't help but feel interesting, and asked: "Master Hou, if you go to the Zhuangzi of the Xia Hua family, the memorial arch you can see is more magnificent than this Mo family." ”
Zhong Xihou smiled, with a little contempt, and listened to him explain: "A building should be beautiful and magnificent, but use some good materials and invite some skilled craftsmen." Honghong, look at these four words, one stroke at a time, the sword is sharp, even if it is lonely, it may not be able to write so handsomely. ”
This time it was Hua Shaohong's turn to fight back, and he said, "Hehe, hehe." I have seen a lot of heroes, and there are also many literati. The words of the literati must be good-looking, but the words of heroes are not necessarily. But if you can write so ugly, as far as I've seen, it's just Hou Ye and Brother Ying. ”
This sentence caused others to hold back laughter, but it made Zhong Xihou even more embarrassed.
Mo Ming had to respectfully make a gesture of invitation and lead everyone into the mountain gate. Hua Shaohong didn't care, Zhong Xihou noticed that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. It is the young master of the Mo family, and today's posture of inviting is with his left hand.
Mo Ming is an elegant person, and he should know the number of etiquette. But for some reason, this time Mo Ming did not lead Zhong Xihou and a few people to the teahouse or guest hall, and directly took a few people to a separate courtyard.
Mo Ming knocked on the door of the private room in the courtyard, then took two steps back, and said in a respectful voice: "Mother, there is a distinguished guest." ”
Zhong Xihou's eyes were always on the sword behind Mo Ming, what kind of sword is this? Love is stronger than Jin? I really don't understand, where does the sword come from.
Just when Zhong Xihou wanted to take a closer look at this sword, something interesting happened. Only then did he realize the sharpness of the sword, and Mo Yujian's aura was chaotic in an instant, like a gecko changing color, which was difficult to identify.
"Mo Gongzi, there is something curious, ask it. ”
"Master Hou said bluntly, it doesn't matter. ”
"What sword does Childe think is the fastest sword in the world?"
"The fastest sword in the world is probably the short swordfish intestine of the Ghost Snitch. ”
"The fastest swordsmanship in the sky, what kind of swordsmanship does Childe think?"
"Needless to say, it must be a nine-star flying ambush. ”
Zhong Xihou didn't ask anymore, the fastest nine-star flying ambush he had ever seen was a big thief who fought with him when he first ascended to the position of city lord. This thief was like a rakshasa from hell, he struck quickly and ruthlessly, and the nine stars flew in and down to almost kill him.
Although the sword was fast, Zhong Xihou could see the sword, and his body couldn't keep up.
However, the Mo family's Mo Yu sword, he couldn't see it clearly.
Without waiting for Zhong Xihou to ask again, a voice came from inside the room, this voice, hoarse and weak, like an old man.
"Who's out there?"
"Senior, it is the city lord of Xicheng, Zhongxi Hou. ”
"It's rude for a distinguished guest to come from afar and not greet him, Mo Ming, let the Zhongcheng Lord enter the house. ”
Zhong Xihou couldn't help frowning, Mo Sang's whereabouts were unknown, Zhong Xihou knew, Mo Ming was calling his mother, why did such an old voice come from the house. Subsequently, Mo Ming was honored as a senior. Since the Mo family has a three-point status in the rivers and lakes, and there are naturally many masters in the sect, what kind of characters are the predecessors of the Mo family?
Mo Ming opened the door of the room, and he was still standing outside the door. When Zhongxi Hou entered, he blocked the door and stopped in front of Hua Shaohong. Hua Shaohong naturally understood, so she staggered to the stone pavilion on the side.
And Mo Ming also followed Zhong Xihou into the house.
The two of them walked into the room, which was empty, with a few bookshelves, a desk, a high chair, a porcelain pot and a few porcelain cups.
An old man with a rickety figure and white hair sat at his desk, flipping through the "Spring and Autumn Period" in his hand.
"When the distinguished guest arrived, the old man was not able to greet him from afar, and it was rude. ”
"Uninvited, it's Xihou's rudeness. What is sir?"
"The city lord of Zhong and the demeanor of Zhong Daxia are similar in the past, the old man has a poor memory, the appearance of Xiao Nanyan in the past, in fact, the old man has almost forgotten now?"
"Could it be that Mr. is the predecessor of his father-in-law?" Zhong Xihou's words were unconcealably surprised, and he met his father-in-law in another country.
Have you ever thought that Zhong Nanyan in the past was also heroic and chic. The predecessor of his era must have been the overlord who commanded the rivers and lakes when Zhong Nanyan was young. The overlord of the past has become an old man, and I don't know what time it is.
"It's no wonder that the old man has lived in the depths for many years, and it is common sense that the Zhongcheng Lord will not recognize it. ”
"My father-in-law is deceased, Xihou can see him today, and I am fortunate to meet him. Have your predecessors always lived here?"
"Destiny is like this, and it is difficult for our generation to resist it. He poured a cup of tea and threw the tea to Zhongxihou, Zhongxihou caught it steadily, sipped slightly, and the old man asked, "Is it light and tasteless, smelling but fragrant?"
The old man got up from his chair and stretched. Or once nearly eight feet high, a famous horse in white, but now, it is only six feet, and the west wind is rickety.
"The end of decay is approaching, and there is no taste or smell for a long time, so naturally it will not spoil the good wine and tea in the world. ”
"Haven't you said why this is happening?"
The old man sighed slightly and said, "Since he is the Lord of Zhongcheng, then there is no need to hide it. City Lord, do you know why my Mo family's sword masters are all geniuses?"
"I have heard that Mo Sang's predecessor had a fierce battle with General Han when he was young······"
"The general, he hasn't decided the winner yet, and it seems that it won't be long before he can go and see this doll. The previous generation of sword masters of the Mo family would hand over their whole body cultivation to Mo Yu Sword when their heirs reached a certain level, and the skills of the previous generation of sword masters gradually weakened, until they were like ······ wasted people."
"To keep that secret?"
The old man couldn't help but smile and said, "There are many people in the world who know this secret, and there are many guesses, but my Mo family doesn't know that secret. However, Lord Zhongcheng, the Sword Sect of the World has indeed entered the world. ”
"Oh, yes. Zhong Xihou's answer was very simple, there were no fluctuations in his emotions, as if there was no secret about the Sword Sect of the World. In other words, even if the World Sword Sect is a secret, it is also a secret that he Zhongxi Hou is not interested in.
"The Lord of Zhongcheng came to Mo County, is it not because of the Sword Sect of the World?"
Zhong Xihou shook his head and said, "No, I came to the Mo family alone, and I have no purpose." ”
"The old decay is approaching, so I will tell Xiao Nanyan's descendants a secret. ”
"Then why don't you take it with the secret?"
The old man laughed silently, stopped laughing, and continued: "The sword of Xiao Nanyan's descendants is indeed powerful, and the sword of the Zhongcheng Lord is no less than the Zhongnanyan hero who spent all over Xicheng back then. ”
"Could it be that my predecessors have fought with my father-in-law?"
"It's not about fighting, but the two of them pass on sword moves, one attack and one dismantle. ”
"And then?"
"In terms of sword moves alone, the eleven moves of the old decay are a small victory over Xiao Nanyan's dancing sword. ”
Zhong Xihou didn't argue, he didn't know how many celebrity swordsmen Zhong Nanyan had fought with, he didn't dare to say that Zhong Nanyan's sword was the strongest sword in the previous generation, but the one who could defeat Zhong Nanyan was definitely a master.
"Can Young Master Mo inherit the Mo family's swordsmanship?"
"Ming'er has learned swordsmanship, and what he understands now is that his flesh and skin have not reached its essence. The city lord is a swordsman unparalleled in the world, if the city lord is willing to do the old man a favor, the old man will tell all the trust of the Zhong hero. ”
"What's the busy, the seniors said so heavy?"
"Knowing that Zhong Xihou is a person who does not want to be threatened, this is naturally not coercion, even if the Zhong City Lord does not agree, this secret has to be said. ”
"The predecessors said so, then please say, if you can do it, Xihou will do his best. ”
The old man spoke, did not speak, closed it again, paused for a few gaps, spoke, and said firmly: "If there is a trick for a day, the descendants of the Mo family will go mad, and only ask the Hou Ye to kill him with a sword." ”
Zhongxi Hou is silent, ten years of sharpening a sword, and ten years of cultivation of a master is short. It is also a long time, and there are very few people who have fallen into demons.
Zhong Xihou looked at the gentle and elegant Mo Ming on the side, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this old-timer, if he wants to intimidate Mo Ming by himself, why should he say such words in front of Mo Ming.
And Mo Ming, still the appearance of a handsome son, seems to not care about the old man's words at all.
Zhong Xihou was even more depressed, the descendants of the Mo family, is the little junior brother a descendant of the Mo family, but this rabbit cub seems to have entered the demon, but should be killed with a sword? Then, Zhong Xihou couldn't help laughing, the so-called demon of mortals is just a demon in the heart, and the demon of the little junior brother is the demon of heaven and earth, how to unify the generalization.
"That being the case, Gu Dake killed Gongzi and took Mo Yu and gave this sword to others as a gift. ”
Zhong Xihou's tone did not change, but his words changed, and the old man couldn't help but grin slightly at the corners of his mouth, feeling interesting, and then quipped: "It seems that there are also friends of the Zhong City Lord who covet Mo Yujian." ”
The two looked at each other and laughed at each other.
"Dragged by the predecessors, Xihou responded, if one day Mo Ming Gongzi went mad, Xihou killed him with a sword, and it didn't hurt to be infamy. What is the secret of the seniors?"
"Xiao Nanyan once said that everything that was lost will come back one day. ”
"Lost will come back someday······"
"Fighting for the sword and dying for the sword, Xiao Nanyan is indeed like this in the end. The old man waited for the lord of Zhongcheng for twenty-four years. The old man slowed down and continued, "Xiao Nanyan said that if one day his child is confused, he will ask the old man to help clear the clouds. ”
"That's the secret?"
"Naturally not. The old man took another sip of tea and sighed slightly, "No wonder everyone sighs for old age, it turns out that when you are old, you will really live in fear and don't know why." What Xiao Nanyan wants to tell you is the crown prince who was escorted out of the city by General Han with his life in the past, or should I say, the third prince. ”
Zhong Xihou couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "The former crown prince, if he is alive, he is afraid that he will be held hostage in a neighboring country. Father-in-law, what can he be? The current Son of Heaven is the elder brother of the same clan of the prince in the past, and if he comes back, he may have to return to power?"
"Zhong Nanyan has been trapped by love and sad all her life. However, if he is old, I am afraid that he will make the same choice as Xiao Nanyan, and he has never doubted it. The old man walked around the room, "There are too many things that you and I can't know. General Han gave up his life for the sake of orthodoxy, in order to be a faint monarch in the mouth, but it was the bloodline of the first emperor of his Bole that could be inherited. Zhong Nanyan was in the city that never sleeps, and never stepped out again, in order to pinch the lifeblood of the empire with the power of the west, even if it was an enemy of the world. The former minister of the dynasty, Shang Jia Nengren, Bai Xiaotian, put away his wings and lurked in the rivers and lakes, in order not to let this troubled world be swallowed up by the rebels······"
"Then General Han and my father-in-law and others have forgotten that when the first emperor was in power, he did not appoint anyone as the prince. Now the emperor is the longest among the three sons, and he will succeed to the throne, and the three princes will plot against him to seize the throne, how can it be justified?"
Zhong Xihou began to be curious about one thing, the wind rose, the falcon season. When he returned to the West, he was going to ask the elder, which eagle was he hunting in the falconry season?
He once thought that since he inherited the lord of the western land, the wind in the mouth of the old man of the family rose to falcons. He always thought that it was Zhong Nanyan's enmity and Dugu's name.
He only thought that the black armor of the city that never sleeps dominated the world, in order to intimidate the Western Barbarians and Asai, so that the neighboring countries would not dare to invade. But I forgot that the city that never sleeps guards the gate of life in the west, and at the same time, in another sense, the city that never sleeps pinchs the lifeblood of Daye.
"Along with the three princes, it was sent out by General Han, and there was also a copy of the edict of the first emperor, if there was no such thing, don't say that Xiao Nanyan and Zhu Wangye, even if it is General Han, he will not act like this. The three princes survived in order to support the main room and ······ the Zheng Dynasty."
These eight words spit out from the mouth of a chivalrous man, and Zhong Xihou was puzzled and felt ridiculous.
The Mo family, the descendant of Mo Tianshu, the minister of the Dragon Emperor.
Mo Sang, the son-in-law of King Jinling, the lord of Lincheng.
Kuang Fu is in the main room, in order to be the outline.
Kuang Fu is in the main room, in order to be the outline.
"Then, the Third Prince······"
Before the words were finished, the old man already understood what he was going to ask, and he looked at Mo Ming. Mo Ming understood what he meant, and after saluting, he left the hut.
Waiting for Mo Ming to come out of the study, the old man slowly spoke, and said: "The old man has something to ask for, and this matter will inevitably make the Zhongcheng Lord dirty and lose his tongue for others." ”
Zhong Xihou didn't care, stretched out his hand, and motioned to the old man to say it was okay.
The old man sighed, and then said: "There are two old monks in Hanshan Temple, called Wuhai and Wujue, please Zhongcheng Lord, go over on behalf of the old man and kill the two." ”
Zhong Xihou frowned, he didn't know who these two people were, and before he could speak, the old man continued: "See you tomorrow, the old man has something to give, don't dislike it." ”
Mo Ming went outside the house and saw Hua Shaohong using a mountain fowl order as a sword, comparing with the noble son.
Mo Ming became interested all of a sudden, Erhong didn't make trouble today, it was interesting and interesting.
Before the two of them got close, they heard someone shouting "Young Owner", and turned his head to see that it was the playful and ghostly maid like a civet cat, Qu'er.
Qu'er's hairstyle is still combed more specially, and her black and shiny hair is tied with two erected cat ears.
"Young master, the young lady called me to call you. ”
When Mo Ming heard this, it turned out that Yin Li wanted to be her husband, and naturally the haze was swept away, and her face was full of spring breeze.
"By the way, Qu'er, I originally took the Zhongcheng Lord to see my mother today, why is it that Grandpa Bai is in the study and doesn't see my mother?"
Qu'er shook her head and said nothing, Mo Ming frowned, obviously this girl knew where her mother went, but she didn't say it, she was just helpless, so she didn't ask.
However, when I was only halfway through the road, I saw a green-shirted scholar in front of me walking towards me. Qu'er's face immediately became gloomy, she naturally understood that when this scholar in a green shirt came to the village, he would basically occupy the time of the young owner, and he had to go with him to paint mountains and seas, write poems and lyrics.
When Mo Ming saw the comer, her eyelids moved slightly, and she bowed, respectfully, and said, "Brother Dahong, today?"
Li Ganghong returned the salute, whispered, and said: "Brother Ming, for my brother today I found a mountain peak with a welcoming pine, its posture is majestic, its momentum is upright, standing in the majestic sea of clouds, overlooking the village under the mountain, such as my generation······"
"Enough is enough, Li Gongzi, you have to let my young lady meet her husband who thinks about it day and night······"
This time, it was Mo Ming who interrupted Qu'er's words, and his voice was as soft as Li Ganghong's, and he said: "Qu'er, you must not say this, literati painting and lyrics, pay attention to a moment of inspiration, and you can't make mistakes." ”
After that, he didn't explain anything anymore, so he held the fan and carried the sword on his back, and he didn't see the young owner go back to the study to get the ink, paper and inkstone, and followed Li Ganghong at the end of the corridor and disappeared.
"Ha!" someone shouted from behind, and Qu'er trembled with fright. turned around, it was the noble son, and he couldn't help but be angry. The noble son grinned, Qu Erli ignored him, and walked away by himself.
When the noble son saw that Li Ganghong, the green-shirted guest, was gone, he also sighed, as if he had escaped from danger. Hua Shaohong thought it was funny, patted him on the shoulder from behind, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The noble prince smiled, and then said: "Do you understand what it means to drop one thing and one thing? In Jinling City, I don't even pay attention to Zhu Yinuo, and I can beat him as much as I want." His Royal Highness the Prince of the World also closed his eyes to me and didn't care about it. It's a pity, it's a pity, my brother, it's a troublemaker. ”
When Hua Shaohong heard this, she laughed, and then said, "Then it seems that you are not more than Erer?"
"You begging to fight?" then slashed at Hua Shaohong, and the two and a half children began to frolic again, adding a little vitality to the deserted Tianshui Villa.
The noble son's real name is Li Yunhong, and he is naturally the little young master of the Li family's generation. The children of the officials and eunuchs of Jinling City dare not provoke the four demon kings, two of the four demon kings are surnamed Zhu and two are surnamed Li.
One of the two surnamed Zhu is naturally Zhu Yinuo, and the other is Zhu Yinuo's cousin, who went elsewhere with the elders in the family. The two surnamed Li are naturally the two brothers Li Pinghong and Li Yunhong.
Besides, Mo Ming and Li Ganghong only left the gate of the villa, but they used their exquisite body skills together and fled into the distance.
One in front and one behind, only one position is missing, and the people in front are afraid that the people in the back will bump into each other if the rhythm is messy. And Mo Ming and Li Ganghong were stunned for half an hour, without rest, and they didn't see Mo Ming bumping into Li Ganghong, or Li Ganghong's pace was fast and slow.
On the way, Li Ganghong's words couldn't help but make Mo Ming frown.
"The one who Yanyun rides. ”
Li Ganghong actually told him that it was Yan Yun's rider who came this time, and he could see Yi Shuihan's loss, or it might be the celestial crowd in Yan Yun's ride.
After the two stopped, Li Ganghong asked, "Brother Ming, are the affairs of the Sword Sect in the world ready?"
Mo Ming shook his head, the Sichuan character was a little deeper, Li Ganghong naturally understood what Mo Ming was worried about, he wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say it. Mo Ming also understood that what Li Ganghong wanted to mention was the three giants of Yi Shuihan. If the three giants of Yi Shuihan go out together, will they be able to resist the invasion of the Sword Sect of the World?
What Mo Ming would answer him, Li Ganghong also understood.
If the three giants of Yi Shui and Han go to resist the Sword Sect of the world, how can the safety of Jinling be arranged?
"Someone is here again, and it's really a time for the slave family to have no time to rest······"
It was the two of them who were still worried about the affairs of the Sword Sect in the world, but they heard a strange voice of yin and yang.
In an instant, the sword qi in the sky was full of mountain rain.
Mo Ming, the son of Mo Sang, is the new swordsman of Mo Yu Sword. Since he was a young man, he has been a shadow guard in Lincheng, and he has felt pressure and fear for the first time.
"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Hahaha······" The person who came smiled gloomily, and then listened to her continue, "Li Ganghong, speaking of which, you and I are also old people. I've let you go once, just to see that you are hopeless, and now it seems that this seat is gone. ”
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
The person who came turned out to be the perverted woman who took pleasure in abusing and killing outstanding juniors, Yan Yun rode Chen, Mr. Badou.
"Why is this person, helpless. The words were helpless, but Li Ganghong's voice was still steady and gentle, "Brother Ming, may you force Gongyuan to break Hongmeng?"
Sometimes Mo Ming is also very strange, very curious, Brother Da Hong's life, is there any emotion, will he be happy because of something, and sad because of something. At least, in the nearly 20 years he has known Li Ganghong, he has never seen Li Ganghong's third expression in addition to smiling and calm.
Mo Ming asked, "Brother Da Hong, what about you?"
When the words fell, I saw Li Ganghong shouting angrily, and his face was as hideous as the king of the Daxiong Treasure Palace. Pulling out the cyan sword from the picture scroll behind him, Hongmeng's sword changed color in the sky.
A sword stabbed out, it is a move in the ancient sword spectrum Yi Shui Han, and the gin has nothing to do with the song!
Mo Ming saw that the sword stabbed out, like Li Ganghong who was floating away like a sword fairy, Brother Da Hong was smiling, not the gentle and elegant smile of the past, but the kind of free and uninhibited laughter.
Thirteen years of raising swords, once broken Hongmeng.
The person who knows Mo Ming the most in this world may only be Zhu Jianying. The person who knows Li Ganghong best in this world is afraid that only Mo Ming is there.
The eldest son of a family of strategists, a passionate genius who should have spent his life in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he forbearably raised swords for thirteen years, read sage books, and engaged in murderous hookups.
Now that he has broken Hongmeng, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hide the breath in the future, and everything he has done is not to protect the grandson of the lord who seems to be a sibling like a bosom friend around him?
What happened in Lincheng on this day has not been recorded in the official history, but it is mentioned many times in the wild history.
On this day of Jinling City, the Thirteen Horsemen of the West City laid a sky net, which is the sky net that spreads to Daye with Jinling City as the center. exhausted all the efforts of the king, and laid the roots for her final exhaustion.
On this day, in Moxian County, Li Ganghong, who lived up to the name of Yi Shuihan's No. 1 Shadow Guard, strengthened his strength and broke the Hongmeng Realm with a sword, and it was difficult to show the posture of a weak scholar, which laid the foundation for him to be pursued and killed by the enemy in the future.
Even if everything is doomed in the future, at this moment, the trickster king of the city that never sleeps picks up the lantern to write the "thirty years of spring and autumn as before" in the west.
Li Ganghong, who was in the city, broke Hongmeng with a sword, and endured hatred and anger for thirteen years, and vented a trick: "Gin has nothing to do with the song".
