Chapter 19: Incidents

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Yuan stayed in Fu Mansion for half a year, and in the middle of the night, Jiang Yuan practiced hard under Fu Heng's guidance, and his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, and even Fu Heng praised him. It's no wonder that Jiang Yuan was already talented, and he had a famous teacher when he was a teenager, Fu Heng transferred his guilt for his junior brother to Jiang Yuan, and came to Jiang Yuan every day for half a year, making Zhong Lin begin to doubt who was his own son.

On this day, Jiang Yuan came to Fu Heng to say goodbye and wanted to go to the rivers and lakes to have a look. After expressing his intentions, Fu Heng was a little surprised, nodded after a moment of silence, and said: "You are a malleable talent, I originally wanted to keep you for three years and five years, and then let you go out after you have achieved martial arts, since you have this idea, then it is inconvenient for me to stay." However, you have to remember that although you have a slight success in the Nanhua Heart Sutra at this time, it is still far from the real Dacheng, and you will have to practice diligently every day in the future. The rivers and lakes are dangerous, and everything must be more careful. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. “

Fu Heng took Jiang Yuan's hand and sent him all the way out of Jiangling City, and gave thousands of advice.

Out of Jiangling City, Jiang Yuan rode a black horse and went leisurely all the way to the direction of Wudang Mountain. In the past twenty years, Jiang Yuan has not been thinking about his life experience for a moment, and the master has never revealed a word, until that Qing Qing recognized the Qingling Sword.

"Finally a clue," Jiang Yuan muttered to himself on horseback...... Jiang Yuan was going crazy thinking about this matter, but now he has a clue.

A few days later, Jiang Yuan finally came to Wudang Mountain. Jiang Yuan looked at the majestic mountain gate of the Wudang Sect, and finally came!

"The one who comes will untie the sword!" Four young Taoist priests suddenly walked out of the mountain gate, stopped Jiang Yuan, and said, "The young man came to my Wudang, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yuan unsheathed his sword, clasped his fists and saluted: "In Xia Jiangyuan, I also asked the four senior brothers to inform Liqing that Jiang Yuan was visiting." ”

A Taoist priest led by the middle responded: "Young man wait, I'll go to find Senior Brother Liqing." ”

After about half a pillar of incense, Li Qing ran out quickly: "Brother Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "You once invited me to come to Wudang Mountain as a guest, how dare I not come?"

Li Qing laughed and said, "I know why you came, it just so happened that my master had just come out of the customs recently, if you came early, you wouldn't have seen you." Come, come, I'll introduce you. With that, he pulled Jiang Yuan to the Taihe Palace. It can be seen that Liqing is quite respected in the Wudang Sect, and the young disciples always have to say hello when they see Liqing.

The two entered the Taihe Hall and saw an old Taoist sitting cross-legged on the futon and meditating with his eyes closed. This old Taoist has a white beard and hair, but his face does not look old, and he has a childish face. Li Qing saluted and said, "Master, the Brother Jiang I mentioned to you is here, please solve his doubts." ”

Hearing this, the Lingfeng Dao Leader opened his eyes, looked at Jiang Yuan carefully, waved his hand to send the boys serving on both sides to avoid, and asked Liqing to close the door of the palace.

"Poor Dao knows why you are here, and I have something to ask you. Well, I'll solve your confusion first, and then you can answer my questions. Lingfeng Dao Master stood up, stretched out his hand and pulled out the long sword in Jiang Yuan's hand, carefully observed and weighed it, and said, "Yes, this is the Qingling Sword." This sword was cast by Han Xiaozi, a master of sword casting in the Song Dynasty, because the water used for quenching the sword was taken from a Qingling Spring, so it got its name. This sword comes from the hand of a famous artist, but unfortunately the sword was made when the end of the Song Dynasty died, this sword was obtained by the Yuan people to store in the treasury, although the quality is high but few people know. The first time Poor Dao saw it was twenty years ago, when it was in the hands of Jiang Qingyun, the owner of the Dingyuan Dart Bureau, and later the Dingyuan Dart Bureau died overnight, and the sword was nowhere to be found, and Poor Dao thought that it was buried in the sea of fire with Jiang Qingyun. Now that it's in your hands, I can't say that you are inextricably linked to the Dingyuan Dart Game. ”

"Senior, why did the Dingyuan Dart Bureau die overnight, and who was the poisoner?" Jiang Yuan couldn't wait to ask.

"Poor Dao has never had any dealings with the Dingyuan Dart Bureau, and I don't know what enemies Jiang Qingyun has in the rivers and lakes. It's just that there are many dart masters in the Dingyuan Dart Bureau, and there is no shortage of martial arts masters, who can destroy them overnight, this force must be very huge, if you want to investigate, you must be more careful. Lingfeng Dao Chief said: "The Dingyuan Dart Bureau is in Xuande, you can go there and inquire about it." ”

Jiang Yuan felt a thousand feelings in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Daoist." ”

Lingfeng Dao waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy, thank you." Let me ask you, the day before yesterday, I heard the gossip that the "Song Wu Secret Book" was in the hands of the Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain, and I also heard that this came from your mouth, didn't I?"

Jiang Yuan and Li Qing were taken aback when they heard this, and Li Qing looked at Jiang Yuan incredulously: "Brother Jiang...... How can you get this out there!"

Jiang Yuan hurriedly explained: "It's not what you think, on that day, my uncle's birthday, the green snake was injured, and I was listened to when I was chatting with her in the backyard." I didn't mean to spread it!"

Lingfeng Dao Leader turned his head to look at Li Qing: "You also know about this?"

Li Qing had no choice but to give this matter to the Lingfeng Dao Elder as it was. After hearing this, the Spirit Wind Dao Chief sighed: "Well, you don't have to feel too guilty. After all, there is no impermeable wall in the world, let alone this kind of thing. Investigate the matter of the Dingyuan Dart Bureau, you let it go first, now there are many pairs of eyes on the rivers and lakes staring at you secretly, if you are not careful, you are afraid of the victim in the hands of others. If you don't dislike it, I think you might as well live in Wudang for a while, and then leave when the limelight passes, what do you think?"

Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said, "I understand the kindness of my predecessors, but since I spread this matter, then I should also take some responsibility." I live here, if the rivers and lakes are in turmoil, won't I be involved in Wudang?"

"Brother Jiang, you can rest assured to stay, the young people dare not come to my Wudang to spread the wilderness, if the rivers and lakes are really going to be chaotic, Wudang may not be able to stay alone. Li Qing patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder and comforted.

"Forget it, Brother Li," Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said, "If I stay in Wudang, it will be equivalent to pushing Wudang to the forefront when the rivers and lakes are in turmoil." I can't let others take responsibility for my mistakes. ”

Li Qing still wanted to say something, Jiang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect the matter to be so serious, so I'll go down the mountain immediately, you guys take care." With that, he walked down the mountain without looking back.

Liqing sent all the way to the foot of the mountain and said: "You have made up your mind, I won't keep you, if there is a place where you need help in the future, you can just open your mouth and go to the soup to fight the fire!"

Jiang Yuan turned over and jumped on the horse, his chest was stuffed with a lot of words, he couldn't say a word, nodded, and said, "Take care!"

Jiang Yuan lay on the horse's back, feeling that he had never been so tired. finally had some eyebrows in his life experience, but he was about to cause such a disaster for a while. Jiang Yuan didn't know where to go, so he sat on horseback and walked with the reins.

In the evening, Jiang Yuan unknowingly came to a small town. Smelling the aroma of the food in the inn, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt a little hungry, turned over and dismounted, beckoned the shopkeeper to lead the horse to the stable, and walked into the inn.

Jiang Yuan ordered some wine and food at random, and drank the stuffy wine by himself. There were no other customers in the shop on the left and right, so the innkeeper simply sat down and asked, "This little brother, looking at your dress, you are from the rivers and lakes, right?

Jiang Yuan also wanted to find someone to vent the depression in his heart, but he was helpless and didn't know where to start, but when the words came to his mouth, he turned into a sigh and shook his head: "It's okay, don't talk about it." Since we are destined to meet, why don't you accompany me for a drink?" Jiang Yuan noticed that there were many displaced people in the town, and asked, "How come there are so many people fleeing the disaster in the town? Where is there another big drought this year?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "In the past few years, the world has been peaceful, the wind and rain have been smooth, and there is no major drought." The people you are talking about, they are all running from the sea, these sea people are also hard-working people, there are Japanese invaders every year, those Japanese people are really not a thing, they burn and loot in the coastal area, and the imperial court sent a garrison to stop them overseas, but these guys have become like fines, and they can always find an opportunity to rush in, and the sea people are unbearable, and there are always a few months of wandering outside the home every year. It's not easy!"

Jiang Yuan was a little curious, and said, "Then why didn't the imperial court send troops to completely eradicate and uproot these widows?"

The shopkeeper slapped the table and sighed: "Hey, you don't know, these Japanese are all killed, even if they are killed this year, there will always be another group of people who will flow out of the Japanese country next year, and what is even more infuriating is that some locals collude with the Japanese to report to them, and the officials and soldiers have returned to the sea several times in vain, and over time, there is nothing they can do." ”

"Then let them wantonly poison the people like this?" Jiang Yuanyuan asked angrily with drunken eyes.

"That's not true, although the officials and soldiers can't do anything about them, but the imperial court does not restrict the local seafarers from organizing civil forces to resist the Japanese invaders. As far as I know, these civilian forces have also made significant gains in recent operations. The boss smiled: "It's a pity that I'm old and don't know martial arts, otherwise I would have helped them." ”

Jiang Yuan was drunk and said secretly: "Most of the martial arts are staring at the "Song Wu Cheats", but no one wants to contribute to the people of the world. Well, what you don't care about, I'll take care of it!"
