Chapter 343: A Dream of Tianliang

Kong Wen is not his original name.

Before that, he had a more ethereal and immortal name, called Wen Heming.

Wen Heming is from the Northland. Because the northern land borders on the barbarians, the people are fierce and martial. It was common for the children of bureaucrats to wield knives and guns with each other, and even the ordinary people in the north could become soldiers in armor, which was so incompatible with the Wen family at that time.

But in that era, martial arts was the hardest truth.

Wen's father, who was quite a Confucian scholar, was dissatisfied with the Great Zhou under the iron-blooded rule of Emperor Wu of Zhou, and was depressed, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, and the family lived in seclusion in the north. Until the birth of his son, Wen's father took a name for him, called "Heming".

The meaning is to think about the past, and look forward to the day when the world is peaceful and prosperous, the son will be able to do as the poem says, "The crane sings in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky." ”

At that time, the troubled Central Plains rivers and lakes jointly established the Four Seas Alliance under the persuasion of one person, which shocked the world. After hearing this, Father Wen was very disdainful of this, in his opinion, the so-called knights of the rivers and lakes are just false names, compared with the barbarians outside the northern border, they can just listen to more truths, after all, they are just fighting and killing.

When Wen Heming was twelve years old, Emperor Wu died of Weishengtong, and it was rumored that Emperor Wu's death was too sudden and weird, and the people in the world were panicked for a while. But Father Wen was not concerned about this, the ambitions and ambitions that had been dormant in his heart for a long time were rekindled with the death of Emperor Wu, because he clearly knew that Wei Shengzhao, who inherited the throne, was a very benevolent and kind king.

Just when Father Wen was full of ambition, God seemed to have played a joke on him.

Taking advantage of the new funeral of the monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the already restless barbarians took the opportunity to go south and carried out an extremely tragic plunder and massacre on the border of the north, and even worse, rushed into the hinterland of the north, and the Wen family was unfortunately involved in this catastrophe.

Wen's father died at the hands of the brutes he had always looked down upon, and his entire family, only his son Wen Heming was able to escape, but he was unfortunately caught up by the brute cavalry soon after.

At the last moment, there was a person who saved Wen Heming, and that person was Confucius Xiu, who single-handedly connected the entire Central Plains martial arts and was the leader of the Four Seas Alliance at the time.

This time the barbarians plundered the realm, Confucius Xiu was worried about his family in the north, so he came alone to take his family to the Central Plains. But after witnessing the atrocities committed by the barbarians and the plight of the people of the Northland, his anxiety for the country was also touched, and he began to stay in the Northland, helping everyone as much as he could.

At that time, the young man Wen Heming was just one of the many people he saved, but Confucius was such a person, he could see at a glance that the young man was talented, and saw that he was lonely, so he wanted to take him as an apprentice.

Wen Heming has already heard of the names of the Four Seas Alliance and Xiaoyaotang, and has admired them for a long time, but because of his father, he has always had an inexplicable mustard for the Four Seas Alliance in his heart.

Teacher, father, how can a young man let go so easily overnight?

Confucius Xiu seemed to see the young man's concerns, so he was not in a hurry, he said to the young man seriously, if he really didn't know where to go, it would be okay to follow him first.

As Confucius Hugh said, Wen Heming really didn't know that his path was in harmony, so he acquiesced.

Confucius Hugh took the boy on his way.

Under the orders of the King of Qi, the officers and soldiers in the northern land quickly formed a scale and repelled the invading barbarians. In fact, for the people of the government in the north, it is common for barbarians to plunder the territory, but in the past, it was not large-scale, it was only a small-scale incursion, and they would retreat by themselves after looting;

King Wei Shengyou of Qi realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately decided to enter Beijing to meet the new emperor to seek a solution.

Although the barbarians had retreated, the people of the northern land were still in a panic after leaving the protection of the king of Qi, and the prefectures and county governments were also ready to fight, not daring to relax in the slightest, while Confucius Xiu led Heming to walk through the border passes in person.

At that time, Wen Heming was very puzzled by this, he didn't understand that Confucius was just a chivalrous man, why should he worry about these things that had nothing to do with him.

Confucius Hugh just smiled and said, the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people.

When the young man heard this, he didn't answer, but just put this sentence in his heart.

Soon after, there was no war on the border, but there was new chaos in the Central Plains, and the northern land became the most stable place in the Great Zhou Dynasty, because everyone knew that there was a king of Qi in the north, and it was impossible to have civil strife.

Confucius's plan to bring his family back to the Central Plains was shelved, and after much thought, he decided to leave his family in the Northland, and Wen Heming stayed with him.

For this reason, Wen Heming met Confucius Xiu's daughter, Kong Cha.

Kong Chasheng is not very standard, nor is she as charming as those rumored beauties, but her body exudes an inexplicable charm, true and elegant.

When the two met for the first time, it was not pleasant, Kong Cha and Wen Heming were the same age, but their minds seemed quite mature, and they were extremely incompatible with the young man who still had a sour atmosphere on his body at that time, so the two often quarreled over some trivial things, and they were inseparable. Wen Heming ridiculed Kong Cha for not understanding elegance, while Kong Cha ridiculed the young man for moaning without illness, like a sour old man.

Kong Cha heard about the young man's life experience from his father, and he felt pity for him in his heart, so although the two often quarreled, no matter whether it was right or wrong afterwards, Kong Cha could always find an excuse to apologize to the young man, sticking out his tongue and pretending to be ashamed to make amends. In this way, Rao is young man's face is as thick as a wall, and in the final analysis, he is also a reasonable person, and after many times, he can't resist after all, and the two of them begin to humble themselves and reflect on each other back and forth.

Over time, the shortcomings of the two that were not pleasing to the eye in each other's eyes gradually became advantages. The boy suddenly felt that Kong Cha was gentle and intellectual, but also innocent, and Kong Cha suddenly felt that the boy was humorous and funny, and he was also elegant and dusty.

Kong Cha favored camellias, especially those as bright as fire, and for this reason, she planted a garden with her own hands, which was full of her own thoughts.

When the fire blooms, the fragrance of the flowers overflows, often attracting the cranes to stop, they flutter the white wings, lead the neck to sing, linger.

The girl likes to hold her cheeks and look at the beautiful scenery of this scene, and she joked that the red crane and the camellia are really a natural pair.

The young man sat beside Kong Cha and accompanied her to watch the scenery, and he also had doubts in his heart, he asked puzzledly, why do you like camellias, is it just because there is a word "tea" in the name?

The girl's beautiful eyes flowed, her curved eyelashes seemed to be hung with rain and dew, the corners of her mouth raised a good-looking arc, the smile was shallow, and the affection was deep.

"I have always heard that the camellia does not like other flowers to compete for beauty in winter and spring, it always takes advantage of the autumn when it is a little cooler, quietly blooms in the courtyard, and comes to this world, for fear of being seen by others; In a short life, he carefully dedicates his beauty only to those who cherish flowers. ”

"I love this wait. ”

The girl's smile blended into the sunset, as if outlining a peerless painting with heaven and earth.

The young man has no intention of painting, but he has a lover, and his heart is eternal in a moment.

It's just a pity that the good times didn't last long.

The two made a marriage contract, and the young man, with all kinds of emotions, left the north with the girl and went to the Central Plains by ferry.

The young man on this trip is about to officially worship under the door of Xiaoyao Hall, and he owes Confucius a "master" for four years, and it is finally time to repay, and this time, he is really both a teacher and a father.

When Confucius Xiu saw the two, his joy was overflowing, as if he wanted to share this happiness with the world immediately, but he always remembered the style of Xiaoyaotang in his heart and kept a low profile.

Confucius Hugh only invited his best friend, Liu Wanli, the sect leader of the Tianxin Sect.

Liu Wanli also admired this young man named Heming very much, and said that it was an auspicious day, and he would definitely send them a congratulatory gift, sealing the box with the most precious purple gold sandalwood.

The young man didn't think about it so much, only the moment he saw Liu Wanli, his brain had lost the ability to think, so that he was incoherent with excitement. He could never have imagined that he would be able to meet one of the only two Tai Chi people today, and even ask each other for advice.

That day, the boy couldn't sleep, and the girl who had always been quiet and elegant was as excited as him, and the two chatted all night about interesting things in the rivers and lakes.

And the tranquility of the two in the Xiaoyao Hall was finally buried by a fire, and the soaring flames were like those quietly blooming camellias.

That night, a senior brother named Wei An desperately hid the two of them, and then fell under the cold sword.

The boy and the girl watched as Xiaoyaotang was engulfed in flames, but they could not do anything; the girl witnessed her father's tragic death by the sword of the gangster, and she was so angry that she fainted with grief; the young man's eyes were torn, and he scraped his face with tears, and he did not say a word, but wrote down the name of the enemy deeply in his heart.

Mencius, Xun has no intention.

The night is bright, leaving behind a trail of embers.

The girl was in a coma for three whole days, and when she woke up again, she had lost her soul, she locked all her memories, forgot Xiaoyaotang, forgot her father, and forgot the young man named Wen Heming, and her mind seemed to return to her childhood.

The boy held it tightly in his arms, held back tears, and swore in his heart.

Liu Wanli followed the trail, looking at the devastation, his eyes became more and more cold and piercing. He looked at the boy, was silent for a long time, and asked if he needed to do it.

This is a very casual sentence, but there is endless anger and murder hidden in it, which is anger that no one can afford.

But the boy only responded with one sentence, he wanted to avenge them personally.

This answer was expected by Liu Wanli, and he even believed in it.

After that, Liu Wanli didn't say much, he glanced at the sky, turned to leave.

Above the night sky, there is a star, shining.

"Old man, who are you? Where is this, where is this......

The girl desperately broke free from the boy's embrace and stepped back, tears streaming down her eyes, looking around, and the panic and fear in her voice could be clearly heard.

The boy looked at her with endless bitterness.

The camellia fell, the crane flew away, and everything in the past was like a dream that had been experienced, a dream that made people unable to distinguish between the real and the illusory.

"Girl, you have to report your home before asking others, this is the rule of the rivers and lakes. ”

The boy forced a smile and joked with the girl as if he had been yesterday.

"I, I, I remember......" the girl smiled, scratched her little head and said, "I remember that everyone else called me Xiaocha!"

"What about you, old man?"

The boy couldn't hold back his emotions anymore, and tears burst down the embankment.

He choked up, but his smile remained kind.

"My name is ......"

"Kong Wen. ”

As he spoke, the boy couldn't stop crying.
