Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dog's Eyes See People
Early the next morning, Chu Wenjing came over to summon Fu Qingyun, and went to Taihe Gate with the owner Chu Tiangui to celebrate Luo Yuntian's birthday, accompanied by Chu Mingshan and his son.
Taihemen is located on the top of Taihe Mountain, located in the north of Shennongjia 100,000 mountains, the locals also call it Wudang Mountain, it is said to be the place where the true martial god Xuanwu Zhenjun soars, belongs to the Taoist school.
The distance between Chu Ji Mountain Villa and Taihe Mountain is less than 100 miles, but the mountain road is rugged, rugged and steep, and it is very difficult to walk, so several people set off a day in advance.
After Fu Qingyun was poisoned by the "Moon Watching Bug", his body was obviously much weaker, and he was out of breath when he walked. He really couldn't walk, so Chu Tiangui and Chu Wenjing carried him on their backs, making Fu Qingyun grateful in his heart.
On that day, several people rested in the mountains for one night, and finally arrived at the foot of Taihe Mountain at noon on the second day.
Fu Qingyun looked up, only to see the peaks of Taihe Mountain arching, towering in the clouds, towering and precipitous, and the winding mountain road fell from the clouds like a ribbon, majestic and magnificent, making people suddenly admire the high mountains.
A memorial arch stands at the mountain gate, the book "Taiyue" two big characters, strong and vigorous, as sharp as the edge of the sword. Behind the mountain gate is a mountain road paved with large pieces of bluestone, which goes up step by step, spotless.
At the mountain gate, seven or eight young people in yellow and white suits were waiting at the door, with gold-inlaid swords hanging on their waists and lace cloud boots on their feet, and they were full of energy.
An old man with big fluttering sleeves came to the mountain gate with a pair of young men and women, the men's face was smooth, his eyebrows and eyes were clear, and he was graceful;
A young man from Taihemen ran over quickly, and said, "Master Zhao is here with his beloved son and apprentice, and it is an honor to despise the sect!"
The old man laughed and said, "Wang Shaoxia came to greet me in person, which made my Xuantianmen feel honored." ”
A few people from Chu Ji Villa slowly walked towards the mountain gate, and Chu Tiangui whispered: "That old man is Zhao Qiyue, the head of Xuantian Gate, and he can play the Xuantian Sword smoothly in one hand, and he is very powerful. The pair of young men behind him are called Zhao Lixuan, the son of Zhao Zhangmen, and the woman is called Pan Meilian, all of whom are leaders of the younger generation. The young man who gave up his hands was even more simple, it was Wang Hailong, the personal disciple of the Lord of the Luo League. Everyone will walk the rivers and lakes in the future, but remember not to touch the moldy heads of these characters. ”
Fu Qingyun nodded when he heard this, and looked at Wang Hailong with envy, only to see that he had starry eyes and sword eyebrows, a face like a crown of jade, and the aura of mountains and rivers hidden around him, and with the yellow and white military uniform of Taihemen, he was even more extraordinary.
Chu Tiangui approached the mountain gate with a few people, Wang Hailong had just said goodbye to the three people of Xuantianmen and turned around, strode to meet them, and said with shame: "Forgive the younger generation for being clumsy, the respected driver is...?"
Chu Tiangui hugged his fists and said: "Wang Shaoxia, our Chu Halberd Villa came to pay respects to the Lord of the Luo League. ”
"Chu Halberd Villa?" Wang Hailong looked puzzled.
"It is the Chu Halberd Villa where Taihemen personally gave the 'Spirit Snake Swordsmanship'. Chu Mingshan hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"Oh!" Wang Hailong slapped his forehead, and then his face turned cold: "It's the Chu Halberd Mountain Villa in Crescent Lake, you guys go up." ”
"Excuse me!" Chu Tiangui said with a smile and led everyone into the mountain gate.
Looking at the steep and winding stone ladder mountain road, Chu Wenjing said to Fu Qingyun: "Qingyun, I'll carry you up." ”
Fu Qingyun knew that he was weak and walked slowly, so he didn't shirk it, and immediately fell on Chu Wenjing's back.
Just a few steps away, Wang Hailong caught up from behind and shouted: "Alas, what kind of play are you singing!"
Chu Tiangui pointed at Fu Qingyun and said, "Wang Shaoxia, I have been poisoned by the Golden Crow Sect in vain, and I want to ask the Lord of the Luo League to treat him with poison." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Wang Hailong shouted: "Today is the birthday of the respected teacher, what kind of system do you become if you carry a person who is going to die and immortal!"
Chu Tiangui's face froze: "Wang Shaoxia, this ......." ”
"What is this, you are so old that you don't even understand this rule!" Wang Hailong interrupted Chu Tiangui and said coldly.
"Master, go up, I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain. Fu Qingyun said.
Chu Wenjing's face turned cold, and he said, "Master Zhuang, I won't go up either, so I'll take Qingyun back to the village." ”
Chu Tiangui looked at the big red birthday gift box that Chu Mingshan was carrying, and wondered: "How is this good, if you want to go back, let's go back together." ”
Chu Mingshan said sharply: "How can this be done, my Feihe Hall is deeply favored by the Lord of the Luo League, and I have to go up to congratulate him if I say anything, so let the two of them wait at the bottom of the mountain." ”
Chu Wenyu teased: "I have already walked to the gate of the mountain, how can there be any reason to go home." In the future, if the Luo League Lord blames him, the villa will not be able to afford it. ”
Wang Hailong said lightly: "The person who comes is a guest, and you will definitely welcome the master, but in addition to the four sects of the Zhengdao Alliance on the mountain today, there are also distinguished guests such as the Kongtong faction, the Emei faction, and the Taishan faction, how can you let you go up with a person on your back, bad luck!"
Chu Mingshan said: "What Wang Shaoxia said is that we are not sensible, please forgive us." ”
Chu Tiangui said guiltily: "Wenjing, Qingyun, you just wait at the bottom of the mountain, and then go back to the village together after worshipping your birthday." ”
Chu Wen nodded and agreed, glanced at Wang Hailong coldly, picked up Fu Qingyun and turned around and left.
At this time, an old man in a gray robe with a clear face came to the mountain gate, followed by a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a full face.
Wang Hailong flew to meet him, and greeted him from afar: "Master Li's master and apprentice are here, which adds a lot of glory to Taihemen, and I hope to forgive my sins!"
Master Li smiled indifferently, hugged his fists and said: "Wang Shaoxia personally came to greet me, which made my master and apprentice flattered." ”
Wang Hailong accompanied the two of them to talk and laugh and walked to the mountain gate, and when Li Zhangmen saw Chu Wenjing rushing out of the mountain gate with a person on his back, he was surprised: "Hey, nephew, what's going on?"
"Oh, this is a few people from Chu Ji Villa, who don't understand the rules, and actually want to carry a dying person up the mountain on my master's birthday. Wang Hailong said lightly.
"Chu Halberd Villa, is Brother Chu here?" said Master Li in surprise.
"It's right ahead. Wang Hailong was surprised: "Master Li knows him?"
"Yes, we are very close to each other. Li Zhangmen said.
Master Li turned to Chu Wenjing and shouted, "Little brother, you wait, I'll go talk to Brother Chu." ”
Master Li stepped into the mountain gate in two steps, just as Chu Tiangui also looked back, Master Li shouted from afar: "Brother, you are here too." ”
Chu Tiangui was overjoyed and said happily: "Oh, it's the head of Li Da, Zhong Shaoxia." ”
The two approached, and Master Li said, "Brother Chu, what's the matter with you two apprentices?"
Chu Tiangui said briefly, and Master Li said, "Let's go, I'll take a look." ”
Master Li pulled Chu Tiangui side by side and came to Chu Wenjing and Fu Qingyun, Chu Tiangui introduced: "This is Li Rufeng of the Hengshan faction, Master Li, Zhong Zhengxiong, Senior Brother Zhong, quickly call Senior Uncle and Senior Brother." ”
Chu Wenjing and Fu Qingyun hurriedly bowed down to salute, they knew that among the Chu land, except for the Taihe Sect, even the Hengshan faction was the strongest. And Zhong Zhengxiong is also famous, with an excellent reputation in the rivers and lakes, and his martial arts cultivation is not far behind Luo Zihong, the eldest disciple of Taihemen and the son of Luo Yuntian.
In the past few years, Taihemen has always wanted to merge the Hengshan faction into the Zhengdao Alliance and be controlled by it, but Li Rufeng, the head of the Hengshan faction, insisted on not joining the alliance, which made Luo Yuntian very angry.
"This is my apprentices Chu Wenjing and Fu Qingyun. Chu Tiangui introduced again.
"It's all good sons, Zhengxiong, you will have more contacts in the future!" Although Li Rufeng's martial arts are high, he is quite modest, and he has no frame of being the head of the sect, which makes people feel more cordial.
Zhong Zhengxiong came over and hugged his fists boldly: "The two brothers will walk the rivers and lakes in the future, if there is anything difficult, you can find me." ”
Fu Qingyun and Chu Wenjing nodded excitedly, and hurriedly returned the salute with their fists, sweeping away the suffocation they had just received. To be able to call the big disciple of the Hengshan faction brothers, everyone was naturally happy in their hearts, and it was much more pleasing to the eyes when they looked at this unattractive and cheeky disciple of the Hengshan faction.
Li Rufeng took Fu Qingyun's hand and said, "Little brother, I'll take a look." ”
Fu Qingyun nodded gratefully, and let Li Rufeng cross into the true qi to investigate.
A thick true qi penetrated into his body from Fu Qingyun's Taiyuan acupoint, and the place where it passed was warm and comfortable.
Li Rufeng probed for a long time, let go of Fu Qingyun's hand, shook his head gloomily, and said: "This poison is so powerful that it has entered the heart, and it may be difficult to get rid of it." ”
"We just want to go up the mountain and ask the Lord of the Luo League to take a look and see if there is a way to cure it. "Chu Tian returned.
Li Rufeng hesitated and said: "Taihemen is a Taoist school, and its exercises are often incredible, and Luo's head may have a way, but it is just ......." ”
"Just what?" Chu Tiangui's white beard trembled and asked eagerly.
"It's just that to get rid of this poison that invades the lungs, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, and if it can't be done in three or five days, Master Luo may not agree. Li Rufeng said.
Chu Tiangui felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, and sighed: "Don't hide it from Master Li, Qingyun is a martial arts wizard that I haven't seen in my villa for a hundred years, and I am willing to devote all my strength to protect this seedling." ”
Li Rufeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he carefully measured Fu Qingyun again. I saw that although Fu Qingyun's face was haggard, his eyes were shining like jewels, deep and peaceful, his expression was calm, not exaggerated, although he was not old, he had a calm and upright bearing. Li Rufeng nodded approvingly: "Sure enough, it's a good seedling, then go up the mountain and try it." ”
"Yes...... , Wang Shaoxia didn't let him go up, for fear of rushing to the joy of the Luo League's lord's birthday, and he would be unlucky. Chu Tiangui said abruptly.
"Hmph, there must be a teacher and a disciple, a group of snobs. Li Rufeng brushed his sleeves and said, "I'll go and talk to him." Li Rufeng said and went straight to Wang Hailong.
After a while, Li Rufeng came back and said, "Brother Chu, let's go, let's go up together." ”
Chu Tiangui was overjoyed, let Chu Wenjing carry Fu Qingyun on his back, thanked Wang Hailong again, and went up the mountain with the master and apprentice sent by Hengshan.
