Chapter 266: Windward Swordsmanship
Bai Guanghua said: "You lean over here." Hu Qiongzhong put his ear to Bai Guanghua's mouth, and Bai Guanghua whispered the place where the treasure was hidden.
Bai Guanghua finished talking about his deathbed without any concern, so he leaned against the tree to rest. Hu Qiong said, "Master, let me ask a doctor to show you?"
Bai Guanghua said: "It's useless. Leaning against a tree, his face was as dead as ashes, and his skinny face was open with two godless eyes.
Hu Qiong knew that he could not be saved, so he knelt aside and wept. Bai Guanghua asked, "Why did you leave home?"
Hu Qiong told him about the arrest and framing. Bai Guanghua said: "I already knew that if you go back, you will be harmed by them, I advise you, but you don't listen!"
Hu Qiong said: "How did I know they were so vicious!"
Bai Guanghua said: "I ran to Jingzhou City, I wanted to find you for the rest of the year." Unexpectedly, your family was killed, the ancestral house and land have been sold, and your mother only took an old servant to live in the grass hut next to the ancestral grave.
When Hu Qiong heard that her family had suffered after saying goodbye, sorrow came from it, and hatred arose from her heart, and said: "Evil!"
Bai Guanghua was already weak, so he slowed down his tone and said slowly: "That day, I was walking on the streets of Jingzhou, and those fast catchers found me and surrounded me together, wanting to arrest me. Where can I be polite to them, and kill them all in one go. He ran to the palace again, killed Lord Wang with a knife, and set fire to the yamen. You say you're relieved, right?"
Hu Qiong said "ah", knelt up straight, and muttered: "They don't sin to death." ”
Bai Guanghua said sharply: "He caused your family to ruin and flee to the end of the world, they don't deserve to die?" I understand, people bully you, you don't even dare to let out a fart, right? You can't repay kindness, you can't revenge, you can't return home, are you still a human being? It's a coward, it's just a beast!" Bai Guanghua said so loudly that his strength was exhausted, and he actually fainted.
It took a long time for Bai Guanghua to wake up and turn around, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Hu Qiong kneeling beside him, his face full of tears. Bai Guanghua was a little moved, knowing that he was cowardly by nature, and he was too ruthless when he said it, so he asked gently: "Didn't you go to Chongqing to find your uncle, why did you end up in Zhijiang City as a flower?"
Hu Qiong said that he was robbed by five robbers, was penniless, and couldn't go home, so he had to tell him about being called Huazi. Bai Guanghua said: "You use the windward swing to kill him." ”
Hu Qiong said: "The wind swing can also kill people? I thought it was to avoid being killed." ”
Bai Guanghua knew that he was not a material for learning martial arts, and he didn't want to hand over the secret tips to him, but there was only such a person in front of him, so he had no choice but to accept his fate, and said: "If you swing your sword against the wind, you can hide from people, and you can naturally kill people." ”
"I see. Hu Qiong suddenly realized, knelt upright again, "Dong Dong Dong", kowtowed a few times, and shouted: "Thank you Master for your guidance." ”
Bai Guanghua was lying in the warm sun on the street waiting for death, not wanting to meet Hu Qiong, which allowed him to live a little longer, but now that everything is done, there is nothing to explain, his energy is dissipated, he can't get up in one breath, there is a gurgling sound in his throat, he no longer speaks, and his head is tilted, and he dies.
Hu Qiong probed his snort with his hand, his breath was like a gossamer, and his face was pale as if he was asleep. Hu Qiong was originally most afraid of the dead, but now he is in the middle of the barren mountains and mountains, and in the face of a half-dead person, he has long forgotten to be afraid.
Hu Qiong probed his snort again, and there was only a breath coming out, and when he probed again, there was no trace of breath coming out. "Master. Hu Qiong shouted, and Bai Guanghua was completely dead.
Hu Qiong found a lot of silver from Bai Guanghua. He walked step by step to the bottom of the mountain, went around the side of the mountain to the other side of the mountain, and saw that there were fourteen or five peasant families at the foot of the mountain, so he walked over. Hu Qiong met an idler who came out of the village and said, "My master is dead, and I want to ask someone to cremate him." ”
The idler has nothing to do, and naturally his family is poor, and since he is poor, he naturally has no family, he is a poor bachelor. Burning and burying people can also make a lot of money, why not do it?
The poor bachelor ran into the village and called out a "crooked mouth" who was like-minded with him, and the two of them carried shovels and went up the mountain with Hu Qiong. When I came to the hillside, there was a dead man lying there, a thin and short old man named Hanako.
The two of them took a bunch of dead grass and branches, lit a fire, and began to cremate Bai Guanghua. Due to the addition of some wet grass and tree branches, the thick smoke billowed and choked their mouths and noses, and the three of them had to stand upwind.
Hu Qiong went to Zhijiang City to buy an earthen jar, and the two bachelors put some burnt ashes into the jar, because this is an ownerless barren mountain, they dug a deep pit nearby, buried the jar in it, and piled up a small grave.
The two bachelors got some money and went away happily, discussing that they should go and buy wine to drink.
Barren mountains and mountains, a pile of new graves, ambitious and domineering, rich and glorious, all dust.
When she got up the next day, Hu Qiong thought that Master was also a well-known hero, and there would be no tombstone after death. When I found a craftsman in the city and wanted to engrave a tablet with "Bai Guanghua's Tomb" on it and a disciple below, I wanted to engrave my name at first, but then thought that the master did not recognize him as his disciple, so I finally carved it vaguely as "Disciple Li". Ask the craftsman to erect the tombstone in front of the grave.
Everything stops. From then on, Hu Qiong accompanied the master in front of the small grave day and night, except to go to the city to eat. Hu Qiong stood in front of the master's grave, not knowing whether he was sad or sad, his eyes were full of tears, this Bai Guanghua's actions were of course heroic, but he killed innocents indiscriminately, so that he didn't dare to go home, I don't know if he was a hero or a traitor?
Hu Qiong sat in front of the grave, thinking about the master's guidance, to change the "windward swing" from defense to attack. He was a man of letters, and according to the tips, he thought from the beginning, and sure enough, he came up with some eyebrows. With joy in her heart, Hu Qiong knelt in front of the master's grave and kowtowed a few times, thanking the master.
Hu Qiong broke a pine branch, pondered a few tricks from these more than 20 sentences, and practiced the pine branch. On the second day, I figured out a few more moves. In this way, Hu Qiong worked hard, bravely and diligently, practiced day and night, and practiced a total of more than 50 strokes of swordsmanship against the wind.
Hu Qiong walked into Zhijiang City, ate breakfast, and bought a sword in the store, which was not much longer than the folding fan that he often played with in his hand, that is, a plaything in the hands of a child.
Hu Qiong ran to the hillside, holding a small sword in his hand, and practiced the more than 50 moves of "swinging against the wind" proficiently. By this time, he had been on the hill for seven or eight days. Hu Qiong realized that the sword was successful and could defend himself, so he bid farewell to his master and went down the mountain to leave.
Five years after Hu Qiong's departure, a swordsman from the north happened to pass by this mountain and found this small tomb, and saw the tombstone inscribed: "The Tomb of Bai Guanghua". This Bai Guanghua is a well-known figure in Hebei, although others are dead, the treasure he left behind is said to be rich and rival the country.
The swordsman dug open the grave, and there was only an earthen jar in it, and poured out the ashes, and there was nothing, so angry that he threw the jar on the tombstone and smashed it to pieces. The swordsman turned over the land around the tomb, and there was nothing, only hundreds of earthworms, large and small, and a dozen tortoise shells.
The swordsman did not give up, he looked at the tombstone again and again, and wrote the word "Li" under the disciple, and pondered for a long time, whether the word "Li" was the name of the disciple?
The swordsman lived near the hill, spent the rest of his time studying the secrets of Bai Guanghua's cemetery, thinking about it day and night, exhausting his thoughts, and finally the swordsman died here, gaining nothing, not even his own hometown in the north.
The people in the village thought that he was a stranger, so they buried his body in the place where Bai Guanghua's body was originally buried, and erected Bai Guanghua's tombstone in front of his grave.
Later, Hu Qiong passed by this place and thanked the master, so he knelt in front of the grave and faced the master's tombstone to worship the Hebei swordsman under the tomb.
But he said that Hu Qiong realized that his swordsmanship had been completed, so he came to Jijiang City again and found the old man named Huazi. The old man called Hanako and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, where did you die?"
Hu Qiong lied to him: "I met a fellow countryman. As he spoke, he took out two pieces of silver from his pocket, stuffed them into the hand of the old man Hanako, and said, "Thank you for taking care of me." This silver is given to you. ”
The old man asked Huazi to take the silver, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Where did you get it from? Didn't you rob it?" Looking at Hu Qiong's thin body and bones, he doubted his own thoughts, and only looked at Hu Qiong with puzzled eyes.
Hu Qiong said: "It was given to me by a fellow countryman." ”
The old man called Hanako and said excitedly: "I know that Childe is a rich and noble person, how can he be a little Hanako for the rest of his life? ”
Hu Qiong left her old name Huazi, bought new clothes in the clothes store, took a bath in the bathhouse, put on her clothes, and walked on Zhijiang Street, looking like a handsome son.
Hu Qiong had silver on her and bought a horse in the bazaar. The next day, he got up, mounted his horse, and went out of the city to return to his hometown. Walking on the road in the east of the city, Hu Qiong, who was full of excitement, remembered that Bai Guanghua had killed Lord Wang and the whole city, which would inevitably involve his own family, and this hometown would never go back!
I had to turn my horse, go around the north road of the city, go west, go to Chongqing, and go to my uncle Zheng Wenjun.
