It is said that when the people of the Taishan faction were drinking and their faces were hot, someone under them sent a letter.

Chu Tiankuo took it, and there were two lines of words on the envelope:

The previous line is 'Taishan faction head of the sect opens', and the next line is 'Xixia Villa is presented'.

He didn't know what was inside, and he didn't want to affect everyone's interest, so he left the table and opened it, and inside was a red letterhead with a text message on it, which read as follows:

Dear Master (Owner),

Your Excellency and Guizhuang have been doing well recently! With the support of friends from various factions of martial arts, our village has made great progress.

Today, the two little girls of the village have just grown up, and they want to find a young hero among the rising stars of the martial arts in the rivers and lakes and choose them as the son-in-law of the village.

It is planned that on the day of the Double Ninth Festival of the lunar calendar, the two talented people will be selected in Xixia Villa in the form of a competition to recruit relatives. We look forward to your arrival.

Xixia Villa

Day

He saw that this was a letter to recruit relatives in a martial arts competition, and there were only Niu Yuqiao in this faction who were of the same age, but he didn't know if he liked to go to Xixia Villa to participate.

This is a great thing, although you can be the master, put it on the table and let everyone know, anyway, people are basically there.

It is better for everyone to be the master than to be the master alone, and it is also a good thing to listen to everyone's opinions.

So he returned to his seat, raised the letter in his hand in the air, and said to everyone:

"Good news, good news. ”

After listening to the words of the master, he didn't let the head of the house say it, so he asked first:

"Senior brother, what good news makes you so happy, tell everyone about it. ”

Everyone at the scene put down the wine glasses in their hands and looked up at the letterhead in Chu Tiankuo's right hand.

Chu Tiankuo waited for everyone to be quiet for a while, raised the letter in his hand in the air again, and said slowly:

"Let me tell you a good news, Xixia Villa is going to recruit relatives in a martial arts competition, notify everyone to participate in the competition in their village, see what opinions you have, and which people are willing to go?"

The first one was the most excited, and when he heard that there was such a good thing, he stood on the stool at once, and said:

"Whoever doesn't want to go, I think everyone is willing to go......"

"I think you're the one you'd like to go the most, right? ”

This is Tan Buyan scolding his senior brother.

"What's wrong with liking? Don't you like it? Who doesn't like women? There's nothing wrong with liking it, right?

Some people pretend not to like it in front of people, and they don't know how much they like it behind people's backs.

I don't know if I'm still qualified to participate? My only shortcoming is that I'm a bit older, people don't think I'm old, and I don't think I'm young.

If you are eligible to participate, I will also try it, and maybe I can become the fast son-in-law of Xixia Villa. ”

"Your advantage is precisely that you are old, old and sensible, you will understand a woman's heart, and you will be considerate.

Once you are chosen, you should not be called Chenglong's fast son-in-law, but Chenglong's old son-in-law. ”

Tan Buyi's words made everyone laugh.

Whenever Chu Tiankuo encounters something, he asks everyone to discuss it first.

The first is that there are five elders and five can't be at the helm, and second, he is also a head who is good at listening to opinions and suggestions.

Therefore, he generally does not stop what his subordinates say, and waits for them to talk for a while before saying what he thinks.

"This wants me to say, this Xixia Villa is too stingy, why only two daughters recruit relatives, and there are three or four more, so aren't all the single problems of our Taishan faction solved?"

"Yes, in this case, not only the young, but also the old, have also been solved, and the game of recruiting relatives has been seen for a long time.

Regardless of whether he recruits an older person like me or not, I also want to see what this martial arts competition is all about.

Maybe people like me like an uncle.

The small fresh meat has the taste of small fresh meat, the old bacon has the flavor of the old bacon, and my piece is still an old bacon, and the flavor is better. Even Jin Buchang also said it self-deprecatingly.

"I don't think everyone should fight, if you really want to say that it is in line with the taste of modern little girls, our Taishan faction only has Niu Yuqiao qualified, and the others can only be used as foils, so don't mix it. ”

This is Qin Buyi's more rational opinion.

The five elders of Taishan were not very interested in these things, and only cared that the wine glass in front of him was not full of wine, and the wine in the wine glasses of the other people was not drunk, and occasionally smiled at what these young people said;

Niu Yuqiao is a little younger, and he has also developed the habit of listening more and talking less, and when everyone speaks, he occasionally blushes a little, and he is a little ashamed.

"Brother Jin, you also have an opinion on this matter, whether to go or not, which ones to go?"

Chu Tiankuo saw that Jin Buchang was sitting in the corner and didn't speak, and the others were almost talking, so he took the initiative to ask Senior Brother Jin Buchang what his opinion was.

"In my opinion, people made it very clear in the post that they want to recruit young heroes, and it has nothing to do with us old bacon, so let's let young people participate in the trip.

The most suitable candidates for our Taishan faction are naturally two people, one is the youngest Niu Yuqiao, and the other is our head Chu Tiankuo, the head of the junior brother should also find us a head lady, Xixia Villa also happens to be two beauties, or is it just two pairs?"

Unexpectedly, Jin Buchang also learned to flamm.

A person who usually doesn't like to joke told jokes, which made everyone feel even more ridiculous, everyone's laughter was crazier than before, and Chu Tiankuo, the head of the house, also blushed.

Chu Tiankuo didn't want everyone to talk about this topic and embarrass himself, so he quickly interjected the words:

"That's probably the decision: let's go anyway, I see that everyone's enthusiasm is very high, and they all want to go, but they always have to leave some people to come down to see the house, and it is impossible to go out all.

It's up to me and the five elders to stay and watch the house, the protagonist who went to participate this time is Niu Yuqiao, and the others can't ruin the reputation of my Taishan faction, don't make trouble on the way.

Senior Brother Jin is in charge of leading the team.

Now there is still a month to go before the Double Ninth Festival, everyone has two days to prepare, and you can set off in two days, what do you think, five masters?"

The five elders of Mount Tai saw that their apprentice Chu Tiankuo was well arranged, and they were very relieved, and Jin Lao stood up and said:

"This is a matter for you young people, we old people will not participate, those who go out must remember not to lose the face of the Taishan faction, just take what Chu Tiankuo said.

Today we dispersed first, you are happy, everyone is ready, and you must be careful on the road, the rivers and lakes are not as fun as you imagined, nor are they as clear as you imagined. ”

Jin Buchang turned back to Shen Lang and said:

"Brother Shen, the purpose of your visit anyway is to distract yourself, so how about going for a walk with us this time?"

Before Shen Lang could answer, Hua Duo suddenly stood up from the stool, there was still a piece of meat in his mouth that he hadn't swallowed, and said vaguely while chewing:

"Yes, yes, yes, it's not fun for us if you don't go, Brother Shen also has a playmate when he goes with us, you stay in Mount Tai and no one accompanies you, and you don't have this plan for the time being when you go to other places.

Senior Brother Jin's proposal is just right, if we have any problems on the road, you can also help us solve them, and we can also be a referee when we don't speculate.

You also go to participate in this what is called a martial arts competition, maybe it makes sense when you go, we were not recruited, you were recruited.

Older young people want to have a daughter-in-law, I don't believe that Brother Shen doesn't want a daughter-in-law, unless Brother Shen is not a man, I think Brother Shen should be a man.

He also definitely wants to have a pretty daughter-in-law, and he can eat something hot early and late, as long as Brother Shen has this erotic encounter, no, it's called Yanfu, no, it's called Fu.

We all support you, you can rest assured that you will not find you trouble, you have become someone's son-in-law, and we will take this lie as an escort. After a few together, I raised my hands in approval. ”

Shen Langguang smiled and did not say anything.

He was also thinking about whether to go to play with everyone and lie down, or go back to the snow mountain directly or where to go, at this time Chu Tiankuo, the head of the Taishan faction, also stood up and said:

"Brother Shen, I think it's better for you to go with them, and take care of each other, just my senior brothers and apprentices Niu Yuqiao go, it's really not very reassuring.

If you want to go back to Sichuan, you can also go by the way, this Xixia Villa is at the junction of Guizhou and Hunan, you don't have a detour, just go to lie down. ”

Shen Lang thought the same, so he stood up and said to everyone, "Okay." ”

"Individuals pack up and set off on time the day after tomorrow, but they can't take modern means of transportation, so as to save the attention of the officials and attract unnecessary trouble, and walk all the way to the former official road and ride horses. ”

Chu Tiankuo added after a second or two.

On the third day, Taishan sent five people plus Niu Yuqiao and Shen Lang and a group of seven people have taken seven fast horses to gallop on the official road of Lutongyu, and everyone was in a very good mood along the way, especially with the role of a lot of lubricants in Baohua, everyone is not lonely.

Within a few days, the seven arrived in Yueyang City, Hubei. When I arrived in Yueyang City, Hua Duo first proposed to visit Yueyang Tower.

Take a look at this magnificent building that is known as one of the "three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River" together with the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and the Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, Jiangxi.

Yueyang Tower is located in Yueyang City, Hunan Province, the ancient city of the West Gate city wall, looking down at the Dongting, looking at the Jun Mountain, since ancient times, there is the reputation of "Dongting Tianxia Water, Yueyang Tianxia Tower".

As the only ancient building among the three famous buildings that maintains its original appearance, Yueyang Tower's unique helmet roof structure reflects the wisdom of the ancient working people and the exquisite design and skills of skilled craftsmen.

Fan Zhongyan of the Northern Song Dynasty popularized the "Story of Yueyang Tower" to make Yueyang Tower famous all over the world.

In order not to be noticed by others, the group of seven did not choose to go in the morning and decided to go in the afternoon.

On this afternoon, they climbed the most beautiful Yueyang Tower in their hearts, and how many heroes and heroes showed their abilities here, and the mottled city wall seemed to tell them how prosperous and rich this place was.

As a battleground for the eternal soldiers, I don't know how many bones of hot-blooded men were buried in the water downstairs, and how many loyal women watched over their husbands in the attic, and all the lingering lovesick tears flowed into the water of Dongting Lake.

The vast lake is rolling eastward, and I don't know how many men's bloody dreams have disappeared with the waves, turning into clouds in the distant sky, and the wind gently blows and the smoke disappears, and how many heroes and heroes have become clouds.

Seeing this scene, it aroused Qin Buyi's feelings of hanging on the ancients, and he leaned on the railing alone and recited Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower":

"In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing guarded Baling County. The more the next year, the politics will be harmonious, and all kinds of waste will be prosperous. It is to rebuild Yueyang Tower, increase its old system, and engrave Tang Xian's poems on it. It belongs to the composition to remember it.

Yuguanfu Baling is victorious, in a lake in Dongting. Connecting the distant mountains, swallowing the Yangtze River, the vast soup soup, the endless horizon; the morning and sunset, the weather is thousands. This is the grand view of Yueyang Tower, and the predecessors have prepared it. However, the north leads to Wuxia, the South Pole Xiaoxiang, and the people who move to the house will be here.

If the husband is obscene and rainy, the moon does not open, the wind is angry, the turbid waves are empty, the sun and stars are hidden, the mountains are hidden, the business travel is not good, the trees are destroyed, the twilight is dark, the tiger roars and the ape cries. Dengslou also, there are people who go to the country to cherish their hometown, are worried and fearful, full of gloom, and feel extremely sad.

To Ruochun and Jingming, the waves are not alarmed, the sky is up and down, a blue sky, the sand gulls fly and gather, the brocade scales swim, the shore Zhi Tinglan, lush and green. And or the long smoke is empty, the moon is thousands of miles, the floating light is golden, the still shadow is sinking, and the fishing songs answer each other, what is the joy of this!

If you try to seek the heart of the ancient benevolent people, or do something different, why not? Do not be happy with things, do not feel sad for yourself, worry about the people when you live in the temple, and worry about the king when you are far away from the rivers and lakes. It is a worry about advancing and a worry about retreating. But when will it be happy? It will be said, "The worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy." "Wes, who am I to return?"

He repeated the penultimate sentence, "Who am I to return to?".

At the same time, a crisp voice was heard coming from a painting boat downstairs in Yueyang, reciting the last sentence of this article, "September 15th of the sixth year", this crisp voice just mixed with his rich baritone, forming a wonderful double chant.

This was the first time Shen Lang had heard Qin Buyi say so many words, and since he had known Qin Buyi, this was something that had never happened before.

This may be that Yueyang Tower's Jing and Fan Zhongyan's article touched a certain emotional string of Qin Buyi, which made him feel so sad, but who resonated with him above the blue waves downstairs?

attracted people to chant with him, and what they recited was the last sentence of Fan Gong, and when Qin Buyi repeated it, it should have been the people in the painting boat who thought it would end at the same time as Qin Buyi.

Qin Buyi chanted so far, he couldn't help but burst into tears, he didn't wipe it, and let his tears flow down his cheeks wantonly, maybe he remembered a previous relationship.

The other six people suddenly felt so sad when they heard his recitation, none of them were talking, and they didn't even talk much at this time, and they closed their mouths that were not easy to be idle, not wanting to disturb his emotions, or maybe they were a little touched in their hearts.

At this time, the painting boat in the water was like a reed leaf, swinging and floating in the rolling waves.

There were about four people in the boat drinking, and thirty meters away from downstairs, one person in the boat stood up and shouted to Qin Buyi, who was leaning on the railing upstairs:

"Mr. Chanting, would you like to come down and have a drink?"

But it could be heard that this voice was not the voice that Qin Buyi chanted just now.

At this time, the painting boat came closer, and you could clearly see that there were three people sitting inside, and the faces of these three people were not very clear, but they could roughly tell that the clothes were all cyan long clothes.

The hat was also cyan, no, it should be called a cyan turban, because it was better to see now, and the other man was dressed differently than the three, and was paddling hard, and he should be a captain.

Hua Quite a bit spoke at this time:

"Senior Brother Qin, someone is greeting you, it seems to be your confidant, why not go down for a drink if I'm you?"

Obviously, Qin Buyi was moved by what he said, and Qin Buyi said loudly:

"Good!"

The man climbed up the railing, and with his feet a little, like an eagle, flew straight towards the painting boat.

In the air, such as walking on the ground, to the painting boat, there is also a double ** in the air to run the action, to the side of the painting boat, the right hand probes, grasp the side of the painting boat to support the standing wood.

The man had slid into the boat like a swimming fish, and his feet landed on an empty stool behind him that he was not sitting on.

This light body kung fu Shen Lang also saw it for the first time, and he couldn't help but admire Qin Buyi a little more, and the three people in the painting boat clapped their hands and shouted:

"Sir's good hand is 'Lingbo Microstep in the Air', which opened our eyes. ”

The voice that told Qin Buyi just now was after Qin Buyi sat down, and his right hand made a gesture of please, so that Qin Buyi sat firmly.

While Qin Buyi sat down, he kept waving his hand to the six people upstairs with his right hand, greeting the four people upstairs and Shen Lang.

These six people looked at Qin Buyi and got on the painting boat, looking stunned. After a few seconds, Jin Buchang came back to his senses and shouted loudly in the direction where the painting boat was going:

"Senior Brother Qin, remember to go back to your residence. I don't know if Qin Buyi can hear it, I didn't see any reaction from him, the distance is far away, the sound of wind and water is mixed together, maybe Qin Buyi can't hear it at all.
