Chapter Fifty-Six: Penghe Walks with the Poetry Knife Gate
"Master has returned to heaven, God is so unfair, when Master left, he was unstable, and he was so embarrassed by the rain. Li Shihe said sadly.
"Now is not the time to be sad, we should change the old man into clean and fresh clothes and bury him. Chu Chu said, Chu Chu is also a person from Lijiazhuang, so he naturally knows Tang Yuan.
"Okay, that's what you can do. After Li Shihe finished speaking, he and Dou Jingpeng carried Tang Yuan into the room, Dou Jingpeng hugged Tang Yuan's head, Dou Jingpeng accidentally touched Tang Yuan's head, blood mixed with rain flowed out from the sword mouth at Tang Yuan's neck, and the soaked rainwater was squeezed out, and Tang Yuan's neck seemed to have become a lot thinner. Li Shihe saw this scene, and tears fell again.
The two put Tang Yuan comfortably and smoothly on the bed, Li Shihe was more familiar with Tang Yuan's home, and Li Shihe knew exactly what was placed in which room, so Li Shihe turned out Tang Yuan's clothes in a moment. Then the two began to help Tang Yuan change his clothes, and after changing, they carried Tang Yuan out and put him in a rocking chair in the sun.
After a while, Feng Daoscar and a few people came back, just now Li Shihe asked them to go to the town to make a coffin, and a few people went to work lightly, and they also came lightly, without delaying too much time. Li Shihe and Dou Jingpeng opened the lid of the coffin and carefully put Tang Yuan in, the coffin was made of fine sandalwood, and it was carefully crafted, and it could be seen at a glance that it was from the hands of very good artists. Li Shihe also knows what Feng Daoscar and others mean, this coffin is the master who pretends to be the master, and he can't be sloppy, and giving the face of the master is an indirect respect for the master.
"Cover the coffin, Master, when I bought the coffin, the carpenter told me that there is a custom in this town, that is, to cover the coffin at an auspicious time, and today is the auspicious time of the zodiac, Master, make a decision quickly. Feng Scar said.
Li Shihe was grief-stricken, as long as the lid of this coffin was closed, he and his master would say goodbye forever, and the master's voice and appearance could only appear in his memories, and he could no longer see the master, hear his old man's earnest teachings, and could not touch him.
Sad and sad, Li Shihe was still very measured, he ordered everyone to close the lid of the coffin, and slowly squatted down against the corner of the wall.
"The day is auspicious and the world is open...... Vermilion Bird Xuanwu came to arch the photo, and the green dragon and white tiger were lined up on both sides. Feng Scar ordered his juniors to quickly nail the coffin, and he stood in front of the coffin, the coffin was placed in the north and south, high in the south and low in the north, and Feng Scar stood on the raised side of the coffin. What he said in his mouth was just a mantra at the time of the cap, and the mantra was originally recited to ward off disasters and evil spirits, but later the meaning changed. When all seven nails were driven into the coffin, Feng Scar stopped babbling in his mouth.
The remaining question is where to bury Tang Yuan, because there is really no good place to bury Tang Yuan, in the end a dozen people decided, had to wronged the master, buried in the mass grave in the back mountain, in fact, the environment there is still very good, there are tall trees, green vegetation, but because of the disorderly and disorderly cover of the grave, it has become a mass grave, if everyone abides by the agreement, do not indiscriminately grab the favorable terrain of feng shui, maybe the mass grave will be renamed "cemetery".
It took nearly three hours to dig out, but it was still timely, and it was dug up before the auspicious time of the zodiac who fell into the coffin, everything was ready, and a big tombstone was erected, Li Shihe knew that the most satisfying thing about his master in his life was that he was a swordsman, so Master Li knew what words to engrave on the tombstone.
The stele reads: Tang Yuan, a swordsman, was brilliant in the first half of his life, chic in the second half of his life, chivalrous and righteous, and famous through the ages, and his apprentice Li Shihe.
Feng Scar and his party of ten people all knelt down, each of them kowtowed to Shigong three times, and then according to etiquette, first raised his right knee, then raised his left knee, and slowly stood up.
"Feng Dao Scar, what's going on with the Poetry Knife Gate, when did I become the head of the Poetry Knife Gate?" asked Li Shihe.
Feng Daoscar talked to Li Shihe on 151, starting with the triennial apprenticeship conference, how he worked hard to recruit students without asking for returns, how to hide from the alliance leader Pang Qiushui, and then quietly recruited troops and horses, although he did not recruit too many people, but he had done his best, and Shidaomen was established in Beicang Mountain.
Feng Daoscar and other ten people are trying their best to persuade Li Shihe, things have reached this point, don't give up anymore, the establishment of the Shidaomen has a hundred benefits and no harm, which sect is not gradually developed and grown by a small group, the sea does not choose a trickle, so it can become big; The mountain does not reject the fine soil, so that it can be high.
In the end, Chu Chu, Xiao Kaiyan, Jing Peng and Lan Lan all surrounded and persuaded Li Shihe to take the position of head of the house. Li Shihe was gracious and finally agreed.
"I have a suggestion, one day our forces will develop like a spark in the prairie fire, but we still have to pay attention to Pang Qiushui's every move at all times, my task is a bit dangerous, that is, under the pretense of learning martial arts, to be an undercover agent by Pang Qiushui's side, there are many people in Guiyi Mountain, Pang Qiushui will not be aware of it for a while. Li Shihe said.
"No need, Shihe, Pang Qiushui has my people by his side, and I can see his words and deeds. Dou Jingpeng said with a smile, "Shihe, the death of the old master did not make you impulsive, I am happy for you, we really can't go toe-to-toe with Pang Qiushui now, moths to the fire, eggs to hit stones, we can't do it." ”
"The enemy is right in front of me, but I can't do anything, I'm so useless, for the sake of my master, I practiced my sword skills diligently and killed Pang Qiushui. Li Shihe said.
"Jing Peng, let's go back to Beicang Mountain together, I want to see how my base is, whether the momentum is majestic enough. Li Shihe said.
"Master, don't forget to get down to business. Qiu Donglei shouted from a distance behind.
"What's the matter?" Li Shihe looked back.
"I have to tighten the thread of collecting disciples all the time, I have to send few people to be weak, so I can't help but be nervous. Qiu Donglei said.
Li Shihe laughed: "If every disciple of the Shidaomen is like you, the Shidaomen will surely prosper and have a bright future." ”
"It's going to be a day and I'm looking forward to it. The corners of Chen Qian's mouth rose slightly.
"Brother Shihe, I understand your mood like an arrow, but we can't run so endlessly, even if people can stand it, horses can't stand it. Chu Chu had a hint of complaint.
"As soon as my master died, my whole body was confused, and when I thought of revenge, I sped up, completely ignoring the feelings of the horse, and you really suffered with me, Ma'er. As soon as the words fell, Li Shihe and everyone jumped off the horse and began to lead the horse, but just now they ran for a long time, and although they led the horse, the horse was still panting.
"We should quickly find a hotel to stay in, so that the horses can rest well and drink enough. Situ Lanlan said.
"Well, after the two rows of poplar forests in front of you, you will go out of Lijiazhuang, and after walking two or three kilometers, you will arrive at the market, and there are all kinds of hotels in the market. Li Shihe said.
"It's getting dark, Shizuru, let's speed up a little. Dou Jingpeng proposed.
The sun hung in the west, clinging to the horizon, and it was spring, and the sunset was big and red, like a large round discus that had just been taken out of the iron-making furnace, and the spring sunset was like blood, and this sentence seemed to be not wrong at all. After a day's work today, carrying the coffin and digging the soil, these are all gravity fires, which can be much more laborious than killing.
The spring wind mixed with a lot of catkins and many other tidbits, everyone walked and waved away the floc in front of them, the horses kept sneezing, everyone had to tear a thin cloth, tie it to the horse's nose, the situation suddenly got much better, and the horse went down quietly.
Fifteen people chose the largest inn near Dongtou, and then stayed, the reason why they chose the largest hotel was not to look down on the small inn, but to have a greater possibility that the small shop was a black shop.
Qiu Donglei led a few people to Ma Pengli in the backyard of the inn, prepared a rich dinner for all the horses, and the half-dry grass was piled up in front of each horse like a hill. When they are full of food and drink, they will sleep beautifully, and the next day they will be full of energy, and they will arrive at Beicang Mountain just around the corner.
Fifteen people split into two tables and began to sit down to eat. There were three young people at the adjacent table, seventeen or eighteen years old, Feng Dao Scar put down his chopsticks, stood up, and walked over, the other fourteen people all looked at Feng Dao Scar, everyone had already guessed Feng Dao Scar's intentions, only to hear Feng Dao Scar say: "Little brothers, what kind of sect are you?"
"No door, no faction!" said the thinnest teenager.
"Would you like to join the Poetic Knife Sect?" Feng Scar asked.
"What a poem, I haven't heard of it. The thinnest boy didn't expect that he was also the most angry person, "If you come to harass us to eat and drink again, why will you tell the shopkeeper and let the shopkeeper blow you out." ”
"Scar, come back quickly, don't make trouble. Ximen Wuxian said, Ximen Wuxian knew Feng Dao Scar's temper, the three teenagers thinned Feng Dao Scar's face, if they didn't stop it, there would be a bloody battle, "We have washed our hands in the golden basin, we are dedicated to goodness, follow the master to break into the world, and we must not do evil again." ”
