Chapter 14 Yushui Canyon
The three of them followed the purple-clothed swordsman, turned the winding path, and saw the stone gate of the moon cave in front of them, the wide and flat courtyard, the continuous high mountains and dangerous cliffs on the east, west and north, and the wooden houses in the courtyard were all built on the cliffs.
To the north of the cliff, there is also a waterfall cascading down.
Such a steep beauty, snow and ice rejoice, there is a pine step behind the waterfall, leading to the grass pavilion on the top of the cliff.
The wooden houses are neatly built, all of which are built in the cliff wall, with iron cable bridges leading to the steps behind the waterfall, and a stone corridor on the left, with winding stone steps leading to the ground.
The purple-clothed swordsman led the three of them to the wooden house on the cliff to rest, and Xue Bing said, "Uncle, my name is Liu Xuebing, what's your name?"
Hearing the word Xue Bing, the purple-clothed swordsman was stunned, looked up at her, and was surprised for a moment in his eyes: "My name is Zhang Haoqian!"
Xue Bing snorted and smiled, "Uncle Zhang, what's the name of that grandfather just now, why didn't he come with us?"
Zhang Haoqian shook his head: "The family teacher went to the forest to pay homage to an old man! ”
The ghost hurriedly said: "It's the four tombless tombs in the peach forest, what old people live in them?"
Zhang Haoqian sighed: "That old man was also famous, but he was later killed, he is the only person in this world who has defeated the family teacher, so although the family teacher hates him, he also respects him!"
Zhang Haoqian's words were punns, and the old man was also famous. In other words, this old man was once very famous, so why did he live alone in this deep mountain valley? Could it be because he was defeated by this old man?
The ghost clapped his hands and applauded: "He defeated the remaining enemies, causing the remaining enemies to abandon their names and leave from now on." And he, defeated by this old man, trapped in this deep mountain canyon, is really retribution!
Xue Bing looked at the house, three houses side by side, the first one on the left is the bedroom, the carved wooden door, there is only a bed, a coffee table, and two wooden benches. In the middle is the living room, with a calligraphy and painting hanging in front of the hall, and two pots of flowers and plants on the shelves. On the right is a study, a few cases of piano, calligraphy and ink, near the waterfall, there is a leaky window, the white gauze curtain is blown by the wind.
Is this guqin an old man's?
It's not quite like it, Xue Bing thought in her heart, but the person who built the house can be really elegant, before the window leaks, the playful playing against the waterfall that has gone down in the nine days is wonderful.
Xue Bing got up, stood in front of the railing at the door, under the eaves, there was also a string of purple crystal wind chimes, stretched out her hand and shook it gently, with a pleasant sound, turned her head and said, "Uncle Zhang, there must be a girl living here, right?"
Zhang Haoqian nodded: "My little junior sister has lived here for a while!"
Xue Bing smiled, no wonder! Looking at the valley carefully, I saw that there were four pine trees rising to the sky between the east side of the mountain wall, like two natural portals, this should be the exit of the canyon.
Xue Bing was looking at it, and suddenly felt that this place was a little familiar, and remembered the plum blossom bone fan with the inscription "Yushui Canyon" given by Uncle Ji of the Jade Girl Tanji, and hurriedly took it out, comparing them one by one, and the scenery on the painting was exactly the same as the things in front of him.
Xue Bing was surprised: "Uncle Zhang, is this called Yushui Canyon?"
Zhang Haoqian was surprised: "How does the girl know?"
Xue Bing took the plum blossom bone fan and showed it to him: "It's written on it." Does Uncle Ji Yun Ji also live here?"
Zhang Haoqian shook his head: "There are only me and the tutor here, and there are no outsiders living here! Ji Yun's name has never been heard of!"
Xue Bing was disappointed in her heart!
He said that he had never heard of Ji Yun's name, so how could Uncle Ji paint this painting, and he gave it to himself, and he happened to come to the place where the painting was painted.
When the ghost saw that he was just drinking tea, he was already waiting impatiently: "You don't have anything to eat here?
Xue Bing sneered: "It turns out that Uncle Ghost One's stomach is Uncle Ghost One!"
The ghost was surrounded by her and didn't understand: "Didn't you eat?"
During the conversation, the old man came up the steps, and Xue Bing stepped forward and said, "Old man, you are back!"
The old man looked at her, but said nothing. Xue Bing followed him back to the living room.
Ghost: "Do you have anything to eat here?"
The old man instructed Zhang Haoqian to make some food, and Zhang Haoqian left respectfully.
The old man looked at Xue Bing, saw the long sword she placed on the corner of the table, and said, "This is your sword?"
Xue Bing nodded: "This is given to Xue Bing by Grandpa!"
The old man said: "The Qingshuang Sword was forged by Yan Qingzi, the first craftsman of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time there were two swords, Long Yuan and Red Blood. ”
Xue Bing was surprised, the reputation of the first craftsman of the Ming Dynasty is very good, why did he cast three swords, and two of them were in the hands of his grandfather, and said: "Xue Bing's is the Qingshuang Sword, and the Longyuan Sword is in my brother's place!"
The old man raised his eyebrows and swept his mind, thinking of something: "Is your surname Liu?"
Xue Bing shook her head: "My surname is Liu, the willow of the willow tree!"
The old man didn't believe it, and Xue Bing said, "You just said that Yan Qingzi forged a total of three swords, where is the red blood sword? Grandpa didn't use red blood. ”
The old man shook his head: "Since the Red Blood Sword was forged twenty years ago, it has never appeared on the rivers and lakes!"
Xue Bing was curious: "Why hasn't it appeared?"
The old man thought about it and didn't answer, Xue Bing stood up and poured him tea: "Isn't there this red blood sword at all?"
Between the teas, the hibiscus gold silk bracelet on her hand slipped off her wrist, and the old man was stunned for a moment: "Where did you get this bracelet?"
Xue Bing was surprised when she saw him, and she wondered in her heart: "Xue Bing has been urinating since she was a child!"
The old man looked down, and a few waves passed in his deep gaze: "Can you take a look?"
Xue Bing took it off and handed it to the old man, could it be that this old man knows my bracelet, but I have carried this bracelet since I was a child, and I have never been looked at.
The old man took the bracelet and looked at it carefully, but saw that the bracelet was inward, and on the slender gold wire, there was a faint line of small characters, which was a poem: "Send you away, don't ask for love and return." Love returns, meet and comfort, do not seek morning and twilight. ”
The old man read silently, his eyes were sad, and he was distracted for a moment, and returned the bracelet to Xue Bing.
Xue Bing took the bracelet and said carefully: "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
Outside the courtyard, the sound of a sudden "searching" long arrow breaking through the air interrupted the silence in the house, everyone was startled, and hurriedly got up, only to see a sharp arrow, which was inserted in the lintel.
The ghost hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"
The old man untied the note tied to the arrow, and there were only four words on it: "Don't come to harm." Zhang Haoqian came out of a low house next to him: "Master, what's wrong?"
The old man stuck the arrow on the railing, and said with a deep brow: "Your senior brother is here!" instructed Xue Bing, Ghost One, and Ghost Second Room to wait, not to show up, holding on to the railing, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are here, you will show up quickly!"
The old man's long voice was like a roar, far away, only to hear the east of the cliff, Lang Lang's laughter came with the wind, full of strength, laughter, behind the ancient pine blessings on both sides, the dark shadow flickered, the sleeves of the robe were sassy, and a person stood in the middle of the courtyard.
After Honka, sparse footsteps sounded, and a group of people in black robes followed.
Xue Bing and the others hid in the bedroom window and peeked, shielded by the soft curtain, looking at the people in the courtyard, the current person was wearing a black robe, and the Xuanniao totem embroidered with silver thread was flamboyant but elegant.
When she saw his face, Xue Bing was surprised, Uncle Ji? Why did he come here? But seeing his dress, black-clothed and sword-eyed, although he did not change his heroic posture, he was completely not as elegant and elegant as he was on the boat that day.
Xue Bing muttered in his heart, the black-clothed men who walked out behind him were led by Cui Meng and Yu Lei, and Xue Bing was worried about Liu Dongjian and Yifei.
How could Uncle Ji be with them?
The ghost next to him whispered: "It's Leng Jiye!"
Leng Ji Ye?Xue Bing turned his head: "Xuanyuan Pavilion Lord Leng Ji Ye?"
The ghost nodded, and the second ghost next to him looked grim: "The old man just now said 'Your senior brother' is here, Leng Jiye is the senior brother of this Zhang Haoqian, and this Zhang Haoqian is the apprentice of this old man, could it be that this old man is Dongfang Qingyun!"
Dongfang Qingyun's name Xue Bing has heard of it.
The former Xuanyuan Pavilion Master, twenty years ago, none of the six major sects of the Martial Arts League raised their heads. But later, he was defeated by Liu Jiang, the great disciple of Wudang Cangyan, and was finally forced to break his sword and swear never to enter the Central Plains. Liu Jiang was also elected as the leader of the martial arts alliance. It's just that it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Dongfang Qingyun died fifteen years ago, how could he appear in this Yushui Canyon?
The ghost screamed: "Oh no! This big devil, twenty years ago, roamed the rivers and lakes, and was bloodthirsty, and today we broke into here by mistake, knowing the news that he is not dead, I wonder what he will do with us?"
Xue Bing muttered: "Could it be that he will detain us or kill people?"
The ghost nodded: "I see that he is not kind to Leng Jiye, if there is a fight, we will take the opportunity to escape!"
