Broken Bamboo Chapter 20 There is a sword-wielding man from the south

It seems that this winter, Jiangnan is destined to freeze. The other day was a little sunny, and there was a veritable drizzle. But it was raining at night, and in the middle of the night it became a snowstorm blowing northward, and along the way the banks were full of bent and frozen trees, as if ten thousand trees bowed down to the north.

But there will always be no shortage of literati in all famous places, not to mention that both sides of the river have been beautiful since ancient times, and there are so many wanderers who can not return to their hometowns when the New Year is approaching, so even if the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, there are always people pacing the shore in thick coats.

The river flows eastward, wave after wave. Why don't people go into the soil, one stubble after another. But as long as you live, you must always be on the road, grow old and move forward, these four words are not a matter of unwillingness!

After the black-haired dog was strangled by the chain, it became a strange beast that looked like a dog but had a pair of dragon horns on its head, which scared Zhang Muliu a lot. Lan Hua got a sucker from his own mountain, and there was another ancient beast.

Zhang Muliu, the foundation of the little monk, really can't see it, what he can be sure of is that it is unfathomable, that is actually a big dog of the Pan Gu clan, it is already in the refining period, and the little monk just locks it up with a seven-character proverb, if it is not a tribulation, it is also a top refining void that refines several heaven and earth Dao rules. The chain condensed by the Buddhist proverbs is similar to a kind of trapped heart mantra, one end is in Zhang Muliu's hands, and the other end is tightly locked in the lifeblood of this big dog, so it can be said that the life of this refining demon is now completely in Zhang Muliu's hands. And Zhang Muliu finally knew some secret things, but he didn't expect that the mystery he thought was just a mystery written in the open. The veil was lifted, but what I saw was a bottomless abyss!

But since it is a pang, it is inseparable from the Yue country, and in ancient times, the place where it lived was where the current Yue country Gyeonggi was located.

This pan gourd was sealed by Zhang Muliu's mouth, and turned into a puppy with two horns protruding slightly on its head, and it was no longer able to speak. When Mo Miaomiao woke up, she was very happy to see a fluffy puppy, so the group had less donkeys, but one more dog. It seems that whenever you are on the road, there must be a caterpillar following.

Zhang Muliu and Mo Miaomiao said that the dog's name was Pang, and the little girl didn't think about it for a long time, so she wanted to give it another name, and after thinking all the way, it was finally settled after it was locked in the lake. In the future, the little girl will have a beautiful puppy named Zhang Leqing in her arms.

Mo said that Pan Gu disagreed, and Zhang Muliu's face darkened. Mo Miaomiao saw that Zhang Muliu was unhappy, and said that if he didn't have a surname, he wouldn't have a surname! Pan Gu's spirit had already scolded the island in Zhang Muliu's sea of qi, but Zhang Muliu ignored it, so he could only accept his fate.

The little girl kept touching the little girl who had changed her name to Le Qing Pang, with this beautiful puppy, the little girl has always been very happy, she asked with a smile: "Brother, where are we going?"

Zhang Muliu looked ahead and was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "Go and see an old-timer I hate and respect." ”

Peng Ze had already been blocked by the officers and soldiers of the Liang State at the entrance to the river, although the water is now calming, but after all, a huge stone statue stands in the middle of the lake, and it is strange if ordinary people see it and are not frightened. This is true of the eight Osawa that have now appeared.

The young man in white led a little girl in a light blue dress, and the little girl was holding a very beautiful dog in one hand, and the two of them walked straight to the barracks. took out a letter that Xiao Pan personally stamped with the seal of Liang Guoguo and went directly to the big tent. It can be seen from the place where the camp is set up that the general stationed here must be a general who takes the people as the sky, and the camp is less than a hundred zhang away from the place where Peng Ze enters the river, but whenever the flood is serious, the first one to wash away must be the general's tent.

Before he had gone far, he saw a little eunuch running this way with small steps, and before he got closer, he knelt in the snow with a bang, panted and picked up a cyan token, and then said aggrievedly to Zhang Muliu: "Oh, my lord! Why are you here, slave and maid, I have been waiting here for half a month." ”

Zhang Muliu's eyelids jumped wildly, and he couldn't help but scold. Xiao Pan, this kid really has no fucking score! Just talking about playing, you kid really give a king with a different surname? Reluctantly, he took the token with the word "Xiaoyao" written on it, held up the eunuch in front of him, and asked:

"Is Xiao Pan going crazy?

The little eunuch was taken aback, the current Emperor Liang doesn't have to be before, the Queen Mother has been placed under house arrest in the palace, and the Liang State is now the young emperor's word!

The emperor asked me to tell you, saying that he knew that you could not look down on the court fighting, so he made you the king of freedom, and said that the mountains, rivers and rivers in the Liang Kingdom were under your jurisdiction. ”

Zhang Muliu smiled secretly, and said in his heart that Xiao Pan, this kid, has not been treated in vain for two years, and the city government is getting deeper and deeper, and he knows that he has pulled himself to protect his world.

Mo Miaomiao stood aside and didn't dare to take a stubble, and said in her heart: "Mother, my brother is the prince, and the prince is such a big official!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in silver armor strode over in the distance, and muttered: "Although Liang is still Liang now, he is also a corrupt world in the dynasty, and he can give the marquis of Song State the title of prince of Liang State." ”

Zhang Muliu smiled: "Who is this?"

The man squinted at Zhang Muliu, and said impatiently: "I am Zheng Wu, Marquis of Nanshan, and I am now leading the post of the chief soldier of Zhenze, and I am here to control the water! ”

The little eunuch had already hid aside and didn't dare to make a sound, both of which he couldn't afford to provoke. Mo Miaomiao was about to let the dog bite when she stared, but she gave up after being glanced at by Zhang Muliu.

Zhang Muliu said to the Marquis of Nanshan: "Marquis Zheng, I am only here to tell you that I want to enter Pengze, not for this token." For me, the prince and the general are a joke, but Xiao Pan's kid is not a faint king, since you want to be loyal to the monarch and love the country, then you have to believe in your emperor's vision. ”

Zheng Wu was just about to scold this unashamed kid, when he saw the white-clothed young man in front of him unsheath the long sword behind him, and flew straight to Kuanglu with lightning speed.

This Nanshan Marquis grew his mouth, and after a long while, he smiled helplessly and bitterly: "I was reckless! It turned out to be a sword immortal, that person was willing to accept this free king, and it really gave His Majesty face." ”

The little eunuch on the side also smiled bitterly: "When I left the palace, Your Majesty told me to give this brand to that person even if I begged, if not, my life would not be guaranteed!"

Kuanglu has always come out of paintings, and I don't know how many literati and artists have left poems here. The long-lost heavy snow makes this famous mountain snow cover everything like jade, and there is a thick fog in it, so that when you look at it, the water meets the sky, the forest meets the sky, and the mountain is also connected with the sky, as if it goes straight to the sea of clouds without peak.

Mo Miaomiao was already screaming, wow. Zhang Muliu looked at the mountain peaks on the other side of the water, and a waterfall came from hidden in the clouds, as if it was falling from the sky. Zhang Muliu sighed: "If it is really the Milky Way falling for nine days, the poet immortal will not deceive me!"

After a while, he walked to a small earthen bag, and there was no tombstone, just a few stones pressed on the dirt bag.

Pulling the little girl aside, Mo Miaomiao hugged Le Qing very well-behaved, and she could see that her brother was very sad. The little girl thought that adults like to hide their happiness and unhappiness from others, but where can they hide this? Even if they can hide their faces, they can't hide their eyes.

Zhang Muliu looked at the grave bag in front of him for a while, and finally knelt down. With a sigh, he took out a pile of yellow paper from his bosom and spread it on his clothes, took out a five-baht coin and pressed it on the yellow paper, pressing it down vigorously until it left a mark with a square hole on the round wall, and then moved the five-baht coin and pressed it again in the place next to the previous seal.

After a long time, the thick yellow paper was printed, and after the robe was opened, the yellow paper was lit, and one by one it was thrown into the fire. According to the legend of the hometown, if it is not burned completely, the money sent to the underworld will be rotten, and the ancestors will not be able to spend it. While burning paper, Zhang Muliu said softly: "You old fellow! I didn't kneel when I buried you, but I still knelt down for you today." But after so many journeys, many relatives are gone, and you are my elder, but I don't even know your real name and surname, and I don't know if you have any descendants or grandchildren. I'll give you a little more money, and you can save some money!"

Mo Miaomiao put Le Qing on the ground, also walked over and knelt down, and said crisply to the grave: "Grandpa, I don't actually know you, but my brother said that he respects you very much, so I respect you too, you must be very hard alone, right?" But you don't have to worry about brother, he has me now!"

Zhang Muliu smiled and reached out to touch the little girl's head. Suddenly, a golden light flashed out of the grave bag and directly sank into the little girl's body, but the little girl was scared a lot, and she suddenly threw herself into Zhang Muliu's arms.

Zhang Muliu secretly scolded the old guy, and said to Mo Miaomiao with a smile: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." It's a little thing that this old man gave you. ”

After the young man in white got up after burning the paper, he squinted his eyes and looked south, and a white line went straight to this place. A moment later, a very handsome young man in a green shirt hovered in the sky and said to Zhang Muliu:

"Zhan Buzhou Jiang Mohang came to ask for the sword!"

Zhang Muliu got up, took out You Fang and held it in his hand, and said to the man with a smile:

"Shengshenzhou Zhang Muliu takes the sword!"

After explaining to Le Qing to protect the little girl, the young man in white also jumped into the air. Without waiting to say anything, Jiang Mohang came by deception, there is nothing fancy next to it, only the sword, the sword can break ten thousand laws!

Zhang Muliu was shocked, this person had a clear sword heart.

The two young men were entangled in mid-air, and Zhang Muliu kept slashing out his sword qi with Youfang, but he was broken by Jiang Mohang. The young man in white smiled bitterly.

After fighting for more than half an hour, the two seemed to be inseparable, but in fact, Zhang Muliu had no power to fight back. No matter how Zhang Muliu used his sword, Jiang Mohang just broke it casually.

Zhang Muliu was extremely helpless, a true fire was highlighted, blue flames surrounded his body, and he raised You Fang to stab forward with countless sword shadows first, and then sacrificed the flying sword, just like the two swords of Lan Hua that day. When the flying sword rushed out, it was instantly included in the secret realm, and then appeared behind Jiang Mohang with Zhang Muliu's mind, and there was no trace to check. But the green-shirted Jiang Mohang was just expressionless, and always dodged in advance when the flying sword was about to arrive. Zhang Muliu was very helpless, and at this moment, his left hand played with Fang Fang and his right hand was gentinous, and he rushed straight to Jiang Mohang.

First, You Fang Yaoyao slashed away with a sword qi, and then held the gentian to block the other side, and the flying sword suddenly appeared behind him, forming a horn to surround Jiang Mohang.

Jiang Mohang's face finally changed, but he smiled. Suddenly, he was already a few zhang away, and his sword intent was very condensed, and there was no monstrous momentum, but everywhere the sword intent around him was a void exploding. The man raised his sword and slashed at Zhang Muliu diagonally, as if he just waved his arm, and there was no sword qi at all, but in an instant, a sword qi that was almost like a substance appeared in front of Zhang Muliu and smashed it into the water.

After a while, Zhang Muliu returned to mid-air, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a wry smile: "I lost." ”

Jiang Mohang also put away his long sword and said lightly something that made Zhang Muliu a little confused: "Someone asked me to beat you up and give you insight." ”

In fact, at the same time, he also transmitted a message to Zhang Muliu: "If he knows that you have a sword, he will be very happy." It's just that you're too impure, and the swordsman actually holds a gun!"

With that, he turned around and headed south, leaving only a white light in the sky.

A real air steamed dry white clothes, and the young man returned to the grave. Mo Miaomiao frowned again, staring at Zhang Muliu for a long time before pursing her mouth, tears rolling in her eyes: "Brother, have you lost? How could you lose? You must not be sad because you have lost!"

Zhang Muliu smiled dumbly, squatted down to wipe the tears of the little girl, and said gently: "How can I be sad because of this? ”

In fact, Zhang Muliu really didn't take winning or losing seriously, but he was a little unhappy in his heart. What's more, that person is Jiang Mohang! Nanzhan Buzhou's famous Yizhou sword. Zhang Muliu doesn't feel that he is inferior to him, see you in the future, and see the victory or defeat!

It's just that who is "he" in Jiang Mohang's mouth? Could it be Mr. Ma?

......

In an unknown mountain, someone sat down and played chess. On one side is a child-like little Taoist priest, and on the other side is a little monk who gave Zhang Muliu a big gift.

The little Taoist priest, who is known as the Great True Man by the world, said: "Actually, I'm still a little unconvinced, this kid is very wrong with my appetite." ”

The little monk is actually called the Grand Master, and he laughed and said, "Then you go back and look back, anyway, I like this little guy very much, and I don't think that betting on him will definitely lose." ”

At this moment, an old man appeared beside the two of them out of thin air, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he wins or loses, he was indeed cut off by the drunken Taoist who disemboweled, but his own inner demon can finally be slowly derived!"

......

You Fang turned into a giant sword more than ten zhang long, and it was horizontal on the water like a bamboo row. Zhang Muliu took Mo Miaomiao's hand, and the sword boat went straight to the angler in the center of Pengze.

In fact, Zhang Muliu didn't plan to take the little girl to see the stone statue, he was afraid that it would arouse the little girl's heart again. But who knows what the little girl said: "Is this old man like my grandfather, who was turned into a stone statue in order to suppress this Daze?"

Zhang Muliu had to nod, in fact, Mo Zhanyuan was different from this old man fishing with a gun. The former at least has hope of life, and the latter is completely a stone statue, and even the last divine thought was given to Mo Miaomiao, which can be regarded as giving this little girl a great opportunity.

The water surface is also foggy, and you will be able to see clearly.

After a short time, he came to the side of the huge stone statue, and an old man wearing a hat held a black spear, hanging from the water, as if he wanted to catch a big fish.

The little girl held the ancient beast that had been renamed Le Qing, staring at the stone statue with her eyes fixed on what she was thinking. Zhang Muliu rubbed the little girl's head, looked up at the stone statue and said with a smile:

"Didn't disappoint you, old fellow?!"

Today is a small year. My hometown is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, but here it is the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month. When he was a child, every year on this day, Zhang Muliu would take a long bamboo pole and tie a broom to the tip to sweep the cobwebs hanging in the corner, sweep away the mildew in the house, and bring joy to the coming year. At the same time, you should also plant an incense plant behind each door and worship the door god. I also want to kneel in front of the kitchen stove and burn incense, and other places are to send the stove king, Zhang Muliu's hometown said that it was to send the stove flower woman back to her parents' house.

Of course, there will be no cobwebs on the stone statue, but Zhang Muliu still took out a broom and cleaned it carefully. The huge stone statue hung cross-legged on the water, and a young man in white held a broom in his hand, standing on the knees of the stone statue and looking at the vast Daze. In mid-air, a little girl sat on a silver-black sword, with the huge head of a stone statue in front of her.

Mo Miaomiao shook her legs and covered her mouth as if whispering: "Grandpa, what kind of person will you be?" Brother said that he hates you and respects you. ”

The little girl seemed a little embarrassed, and continued even quieter: "I'm actually quite stupid, but I just don't want to admit that I'm actually stupid. But I can feel that you must have great hopes for your brother, old man! So don't worry, now that I am by his side, he will not let you down. ”

Zhang Muliu shook his head and smiled, the little girl is really happy.

Pan Gu, who had never spoken, suddenly said to Zhang Muliu: "Boy, some things are not as simple as you think, and they are by no means high in the realm, and you can figure it out when you have great ability." ”

Now that the soul of the pan is detained in Zhang Muliu's sea of qi, it is like living in Zhang Muliu's heart. But everything that the young man has talked about with others, it can know. Therefore, this ancient beast, when he is idle and has nothing to do, will often open Zhang Muliu's thoughts over and over again. In the end, it just sighed: "This kid hasn't been tired to death, and he is stubborn enough!"

Zhang Muliu didn't rush to talk to Pan Gu, but still looked into the distance, but in fact, there was nothing in the distance.

Along the way, one day is not forced to move forward. He asked for so much, and the road was long, how could he not know that maybe in the end it would be in vain?

Some people want to live better, and more people can't do it.
