Chapter 3, Section 3 Kongtong Birthday Greetings
Speaking of this Kongtong Mountain, but the famous mountain in the northwest, it belongs to the Liupan mountain system, with lush vegetation, and is one of the few mountains in the northwest with great aura. And this Kongtong faction is located in a flat place in the mountains, built a bit like a cottage, although it is not grand, but it is also high and low, quite imposing.
And today, February 26, is the 60th birthday of Yi Qingchen, the head of the Kongtong faction. Yi Qingchen, the three senior brothers, he is the second, the senior brother Yang Juechen, and the junior brother Liu Yichen are all well-known characters in the rivers and lakes. Yi Qingchen was widowed in his early years, had no children under his knees, only a large group of apprentices, and only five disciples in the room, Zhou Lingfeng ranked third, the eldest Wu Haiyun, the second Wan Zhenjiang, the fourth Bi Qianyu, and the fifth Fu Yuanshan.
Originally, Yi Qingchen's birthday was not very showy, in the past, the disciples got together, plus the disciples of the two brothers Yang and Liu, everyone was happy and happy together. And this year, it is a full birthday, and the disciples have repeatedly suggested that this birthday should be lively, but Yi Qingchen can't resist them, so he agreed. Originally, it is indeed a good thing for the younger generation to see some big scenes, gain some knowledge, and get to know the characters on the rivers and lakes.
So, a month ago, Kongtong sent people around to send invitations to the famous hotels in the rivers and lakes, and Kongtong Gate was naturally repaired and decorated.
The acquaintances outside the door are Liu Yichen, the elder of Kongtong, and Wan Zhenjiang, the second disciple of the head, and most of the other juniors greet guests in the inner hall, Yi Qingchen himself and his senior brother Yang Jiechen are just greeting those elders or head-level figures, as for those young junjies of the later generation, they are naturally greeted by young people.
In fact, although the Kongtong faction is located in a remote area, it is quite famous in the martial arts. The "Thirteen Swords of Thunder" of the Kongtong faction are extraordinary, and the three elders of Kongtong are also famous. And the younger generation of Wu Haiyun, Wan Zhenjiang, Zhou Lingfeng, as well as Yang Juechen's disciples Song Dahe, Zhao Pusheng, Huang Benchu, etc., are also quite chivalrous. Especially Zhou Lingfeng, who has been practicing art for four years, has become a descendant of the mountain, and is the world's champion with his leg method and light skills, and the loudest thing is his good drink and good friends. It is said that his friends are all over the world, and he also drank the whole country. Some say he drinks to make friends, while more say he makes friends to drink. In the end, he won the nickname of "Tengbei Feifeng". And the name is very loud, even overshadowing the others in Kongtong.
Due to the status of the Kongtong faction in the rivers and lakes, there is an endless stream of people who come to worship Shou, and they are all figures with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes: the first Huaizhi master of Shaolin Dharma Hall, the head of Wudang Qingxu Dao, Mu Cheng, the elder of the nine bags of beggars, Long Yuxuan, the young master of the "Dragon Yin Tomb Mansion" from afar, and the heads of other sects.
Everyone in the hall found their old acquaintances to chat, and Senior Brother Yi Qingchen sat inside to accompany Huaizhi and the others. Suddenly, Wan Zhenjiang, a well-known guest outside the door, shouted: "'Bloody Sword' Situ Super Hero sent his son Situ Shenjian to come to worship his birthday!"
Everyone looked out of the door when they heard it, who didn't know that the "bloody sword" had retired from the world for more than ten years, although his name was still loud, but it was indeed gradually being forgotten by people.
There were two young men, the first of whom was a man of great manship, handsome and handsome, and carrying a long sword, and the latter was dressed in white, with clear roots and bones, and his spirit was flying, and he was holding a paper fan. There was also a Kongtong boy behind, holding the gift box of the comer.
"The junior Situ Shenjian has seen the predecessors of Yi, and I wish the seniors a long life than Nanshan!"
"Oh, is Gongzi the son of Situ Daxia?" Yi Qingchen got up and asked.
"Don't dare. The younger generation is exactly. Situ Shenjian bowed and said, "The juniors have a handwritten letter from their father, please look at it from the seniors." As he spoke, he took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Yi Qingchen with both hands.
Yi Qingchen opened the envelope, looked at it, looked at Situ Shenjian's eyes, and handed the letter to Qingxu, who read it and then handed it to Huaizhi. After a long time, Yi Qingchen said, "The old man and Brother Situ had a very good relationship in their early years, but they haven't heard from him for more than ten years, and they don't know that their son is an adult. I don't know how much of the 'bloody sword' passed down by the virtuous nephew's family has been learned?"
Situ Shenjian knew that Yi Qingchen and the others still had doubts about their identities, but because of their bad identities, they deliberately said that the "Cold Star Jade Sword" was a "bloody sword", which outsiders could not hear. After a little thought, he said, "The little nephew's qualifications are dull, and the family heirloom 'Cold Star Point Jade Sword' is a little successful, how dare he show his ugliness in front of the elders!"
Yi Qingchen smiled kindly: "It's okay to practice." ”
"The little nephew is respectful and might as well obey his fate. Then he took his sword and bowed to all the people, and went to the courtyard, drew his sword, and danced. Situ Shenjian's dance is extremely serious and slow, but it is calm and powerful, and it seems to be better than Wudang's "Taiji Sword".
Long Yuxuan and other juniors were pointing and pointing, as if they were snickering, while Qingxu and the others were stroking their beards and bowing slightly, seemingly extremely approving.
"The fruit is the essence of 'Cold Star Jade', which is really the style of my father. Mu Cheng sighed.
At this time, Nie Ying, the owner of the Flying Eagle Gate, and Zhu Guotai, the second master of Henan Wuxian Hall, were welcomed into the door, and Yi Qingchen introduced Situ and the two into the inner hall together with the new guests.
As soon as everyone sat down, they heard the door and said, "'Bloody Sword' Situ Super Hero Servant Yang Lian congratulates the Lord on his birthday!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Situ Shenjian: There is no family that sends someone to the same person twice to congratulate him on his birthday. The Situ Shen Sword in front of him is likely to be fake.
But Situ Shenjian didn't panic, just looked at the door with everyone.
"In Xia Yang Lian, on behalf of the master Situ Chao to greet Yi Daxia, I wish Daxia a happy life!" Yang Lian saluted in the court as soon as he entered the door.
Yang Lian was also famous in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and many people present knew him, such as Yi Qingchen, Huaizhi and other martial arts giants had a lot of dealings with him, after all, his Yang Lian's master Situ Chao was also a smash hit martial arts alliance leader back then.
"Oh, Brother Yang, don't come to be harmed, Brother Situ is okay?"
"Tuo Yi Lao Hongfu, the head of the family is quite strong. Yang Lian replied cautiously.
"Brother Situ really has a heart, first he sent Ailang here, and then Brother Lao Yang drove him, the old man is really ashamed!"
"Oh, Gongzi is already here?" Yang Lian immediately found Situ Shenjian in the crowd, "Gongzi Xiao is also there?" The owner heard that Gongzi was far away in Jiangnan, and he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up, so he sent me here, not wanting Gongzi to arrive first. ”
"Brother Yang worked hard," Xiao Fei stepped forward to greet Yang Lian, "I received a thousand-mile message from the old gentleman in Jiangnan with Brother Situ, and they came together." ”
"This son is ......" Yi Qingchen found out about Xiao Fei at this time, thinking that he was Situ Shenjian's subordinate or Situ Chao's disciple, but when he heard that Situ Shenjian and Yang Lian respected him very much, he immediately paid attention.
"Let's introduce it here, this is Xiao Fei, Xiao Gongzi," Yang Lian introduced, "It's Jiangnan Yashi, who traveled to the mountains last year and met my son, so he traveled together." ”
"Brother Xiao is not a martial arts person, just because he loves the scenery of Xisai and admires Yi Daxia's demeanor, he and his little nephew rushed to Kongtong together. ”
"There is Lao Xiaogongzi, the old man is ashamed!" Yi Qingchen gestured to Xiao Fei.
"In the next introduction to Confucianism, it is really a blessing to see a man like Xu Wulin heroes today!" Xiao Fei said humbly.
"Okay, everyone has come to celebrate the birthday of the family teacher," Yi Qingchen's eldest disciple Wu Haiyun said, "This is also the honor of my Kongtong Sect." Now, please take your seats. ”
It was nearly noon, and the guests who should have come had already come, and Liu Yichen and Wan Zhenjiang, who knew the guests outside the door, also came in to be polite to the guests.
Speaking of happiness, it is probably these juniors of the Kongtong faction, like Wu Haiyun and Wan Zhenjiang are only twenty-five or sixteen years old, although they have gone down the mountain to practice, they have not seen many big scenes, and they are really a little excited. And Bi Qianyu and Fu Yuanshan probably haven't gone down since they entered the mountain gate, as well as Huang Benchu, the little disciple of Yang Juechen, all three of them are sixteen or seventeen years old, and they are indeed very happy to see so many martial arts people and such a lively scene at first glance. And the third disciple Zhou Lingfeng, who was the only one in the crowd, Xiao Fei and Situ Shenjian were also looking for a long time among the disciples of Gangtong and did not see the figure in their impressions, but Xiao Fei found that Xiao Wufu looked at the mountain gate from time to time.
The hall was very lively, and suddenly heard an agitated chant from the bottom of the mountain, which immediately covered up all the hustle and bustle, "I once rode the wind into the gate of heaven, and the fairy palace returned to the red dust without wine." ”
Fu Yuanshan immediately smiled and said, "It's the third senior brother!"
Not only the Kongtong faction, but also some other people in the rivers and lakes also showed joy. Xiao Fei and Situ Shenjian glanced at each other, and waited with everyone for the belated "Tengbei Flying Phoenix" Zhou Lingfeng.
"In my dream, I still know that I am a guest, and I am greedy for a cup and have not abandoned the cold roots. That Qingyue's groan continued, "Is it that I am drunk alone in the world, and it is ridiculous that mortals are obsessed." And crazy and laughing and having fun, and then drink a cup of long spirit. Then he laughed wildly, "Haha, disciple Zhou Lingfeng wishes the master good fortune like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan ......."
At the same time as the word "south" came, the sound of "whew", a small wine vat about five or six jars of wine floated from the entrance hall, straight to the hall, when arriving at the hall door, suddenly a green shadow fell from the sky, both hands were supported, and the wine vat was thrown into the air with a soft force.
Xiao Fei and the others saw that they were in their early twenties, and they still had the aura of Ling Feng back then, but compared with that year, they were a little more free and uninhibited. Zhou Lingfeng is still wearing a green coat today, but he is obviously extremely concerned about today's affairs, because his clothes have just been washed and are relatively clean------- those who are familiar with him know that Zhou Lingfeng has always been untidy.
"It's the third senior brother who is back!" Fu Yuanshan rushed up and shouted, but at the same time, he opened his hands to stop Bi Qianyu and Huang Benchu, who also pounced on him, and protected the wine vat that Zhou Lingfeng had just put down. Huang and Bi didn't bother with Fu Yuanshan, they just grabbed Zhou Lingfeng, and they looked very affectionate.
"Why is Ling Feng so late?" asked Shi Bo Yang Jiechen in a warm voice.
