Escorting the little girl all the way home, during the conversation with the Liu family, the man learned that the mother and daughter he met turned out to be the widow of General Liu Zongze, the envoy of the Zhu Division. In addition to being surprised, it also aroused some resentment against the government and the opposition for not taking good care of the families of the loyal martyrs after they died.

The Northern Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and implemented the system of "separating soldiers and generals", and military generals were directly excluded from the highest center of power. This is an important reason for the weakness of the military strength of the Northern Song Dynasty, which has chilled the hearts of many generals. Thinking about the time when the general Di Qing was in the high position of the privy envoy, he was at the same level as the Zai, and the level was from the first grade, but every time he met the chariot and horse of the sergeant, he had to take the initiative to "lead the car to avoid it", which was what kind of sorrow the Zhao family and the Great Song Dynasty were, and it also made the man wearing the hat, as well as many benevolent and righteous people in the world with family and country feelings, sad and sighed.

The man cared more about Liu's mother and daughter, gave help and relief in life, regularly asked people to bring daily necessities to Liu's mother and daughter, and occasionally came to visit, asked about daily situations and difficulties, and took great care of the orphans and widows. However, he has always been reluctant to show his true face, wearing a hat similar to a hat to communicate. Liu expected that the man must be an extraordinary person, perhaps a colleague in front of his husband, or some special experience or something difficult to hide. She never asked more, watching her daughter look forward to his every arrival, waiting at the entrance of the village every day, staring at the sunrise and sunset, her eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

Waiting in the adult world may be a kind of torment in the depths of the soul, easy to be restless, easy to suffer from gains and losses, obviously a little pretentious, once the emotional imbalance is too much. Comparatively speaking, the child's heart is always clear, waiting is a pure spiritual dependence, the clear and transparent eyes are always full of hope, the hustle and bustle of the world has nothing to do with the self, only with the concern for others, the ordinary years are more abundant life.

There was no pillar in the family, because she couldn't worry about her daughter's future life, Liu had been depressed, until the appearance of the man wearing the hat, she saw a glimmer of hope, and even felt the sense of security and comfort that her former husband could bring to their mother and daughter.

The hometown thinks of thousands of miles tonight, and the frost sideburns are another year in the Ming Dynasty. Liu's body deteriorated day by day, until coughing up blood. Her heart was suddenly startled, but it was unusually calm, she was still here after all, she knew what her ending was, since she couldn't break free from fate, she accepted it calmly, thinking that she could meet her husband on the Huangquan Road in Nai He Bridge earlier, but she was always at ease with her daughter's future life, she was anxious to find a straw on her deathbed, share her worries, and comfort her sorrows.

Liu is unlucky, she met someone who can rest assured that she can entrust her daughter to the last days of her life, this person is as considerate as a father, as caring as a brother, with a pure heart like a child in the world, and an incomparable prosperous appearance.

On a summer night when the moon and stars are sparse, the moon is bright in the sky, and the stars are faint and the earth is hazy, and the moonlight is foggy. The Liu family finally dragged his tired body away from his beloved daughter and homeland.

For Liu Yuqing, who was nine years old at the time, this night was long, her thoughts were longer, and her thoughts were lingering, like endless silk.

It is gratifying that before Liu could open his mouth to plead, the man wearing the hat offered to take care of the little girl's diet and daily life in the future, living up to the general's loyalty and his wife's trust.

Afterwards, after properly burying the Liu family, the man left Yingzhou with Liu Yuqing and went to Zhengzhou, the commercial capital. Zhengzhou is less than 40 miles away from Bianzhou, the imperial capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and is in the status of "auxiliary county" in Kaifeng, with convenient transportation. He placed the little girl in a private house in Gongyi, explained to an old mother to take care of daily life, and hired a private school teacher to teach, and he still came to visit regularly.

Liu Yuqing's personality is strong and independent, rigid and soft, and not pretentious. The successive deaths of her parents and the changes in her family made her gradually become silent, not good at words, not smiling, but her personality was more calm.

Compared with deep boudoir study, Liu Yuqing prefers to practice swords, perhaps because of the hardships she has suffered, and she hopes that she will be able to protect her family and the people she wants to protect in the future. At the same time, she also inherited her father's upright temperament, jealousy and hatred, and she was not used to the injustices in the world.

The man wearing the hat was convinced that he had a lot of fate with this little girl, saw the strong will in his heart, and also appreciated the little girl's diligence and intelligence, and even more pity the little girl's birth, and was the widow of the loyal general, so he put aside all the worries in his heart, agreed to accept this only closed disciple, and taught Liu Yuqing the swordsmanship and comprehension he had learned all his life without reservation.

Maybe Liu Yuqing is at a good age to practice martial arts, the flexibility of the body is high, and the essence of swordsmanship is fast; or Liu Yuqing is naturally suitable for holding a sword, swordsmanship is light and agile, chic and elegant, and overcomes rigidity with softness.

The chivalrous man wears the sword, the elegant and noble wears the sword, and the general commands the sword, the sword is the essence of martial arts culture, and it is the size to measure the profundity of the kung fu realm. The sword is the god of weapons, and it has the style of a gentleman.

The man worships the sword, and the waist is tied to the Longyuan sword, which is unparalleled in the world, and he is superb, but he has never easily come out of the sword, because of his superb swordsmanship, the sword edge is out of the sheath, which will inevitably bring about the disaster of blood light. Liu Yuqing worships under her name, which is naturally equivalent to a shortcut to the south and enters the house.

Time passes, and the years do not live. In the blink of an eye, in the third year, Liu Yuqing was twelve years old, and in the year of the golden hairpin, the little girl was just growing up, as beautiful as a peach in three springs, and as pure as nine autumns

The top of the mountain peak, the flowers are splendid, bathed in the morning sunshine, the willow rain and the sword dance, sometimes rigid and soft and relaxed, sometimes light and heavy telescopic, the light green shadow is as light as a flying swallow, the jade holds the sword, the spring bamboo shoots are slender, the wrist is lightly swirled, the sword qi is like an electric flint galloping, bursting out of silver light, clear and bright, in the mountains and peaks of the mountains are verdant, fused into one, the petals blown off by the wind are swept up in the near place, the air is filled with fragrance, the distance makes the bamboo forest sound of empty strings, the wind moves like the sea, the light and shadow are swaying,

Caught off guard, a cold light passed through his ears. is also wearing a white hat, and he is also walking like flying, the man's eyes burst out with sword intent, and he flashed to Liu Yuqing's side. A strong internal force summoned the sword qi in Liu Yuqing's hand, and slowly devoured the previous silver light.

Liu Yuqing's eyes were like electricity, piercing through the void, leaning over to face the battle, a series of sixteen swords passed, clean and neat, and a series of sword marks more than three inches deep were drawn on the boulder opposite. The fighting spirit of not admitting defeat allowed her to break through the second pulse of Ren Du, seeing that the sword qi was approaching and was about to burn herself, she held the sword horizontally, her pace was steady, her body rotated, and she actually used a "Fengming Qishan" stunt, which was a self-protection trick, and in an instant a purple ring like a bell covered herself, and then took a leap in the air, and successfully escaped from the danger of the sword qi.

The man raised his head and stared, only to see Liu Yuqing's face, beautiful and cold, and the spring flowers were shy and jade.

He immediately put away his sword and said slowly to Liu Yuqing: "It seems that I underestimated you, your swordsmanship has improved so fast, two years faster than I expected. Beneath the veil was a face like a crown of jade.

After hearing this, the corners of Liu Yuqing's mouth also smiled slightly, her eyes were full of spring water, and she leaned over to salute the man: "Thanks to my uncle's careful teaching, I can make achievements." ”

The man smiled and said frankly: "The master leads the door, and the cultivation is personal." You have a talent for practicing swords, and it has nothing to do with others. In the future, all I can teach you is the heart method, if you want to practice the best swordsmanship, you must give the sword aura in your hand, so that the human sword is one, and the pearl is combined. ”

"How can I give the aura of the sword in my hand?" asked Liu Yuqing.

"The aura of the sword is not given by others, but the owner of the sword has maintained it for a long time and gradually honed it. Just like interacting with people, turn strangers who meet in Pingshui into inseparable confidants. The man muttered for a long time and spoke.

I saw that while he was talking, he stretched out his hand and flicked the Long Yuan Sword in his palm, and the crisp sound was continuous and faint.

Liu Yuqing couldn't help but praise: "It's really a good sword, as the supreme weapon in the world, as soon as the divine sword comes out, who will compete!"

The man sighed, "You are too young to understand the sorrow of the sword. Whether it is a peerless sword or an ordinary sword, the best destination is to seal the sword and return it to the sheath, and it is ignorant of the world. ”

Longquan Sword, also known as Longyuan Sword, began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, more than 2,600 years ago, is a famous sword in ancient China, a sword of integrity and integrity. Legend has it that it was forged by the joint efforts of Ou Yezi and Ganjiang, two great swordsmen.

Liu Yuqing was silent, staring at the sword, although the sword was sheathed, the sword intent still existed.

Legend has it that Ou Yezi and Gan will cast this sword, chisel Kaici Mountain, put the stream water in the mountain, and lead it to the seven pools next to the sword-casting furnace into the Big Dipper Seven Stars Ring Row, called "Seven Stars". After the sword is completed, looking down at the sword body, it is like climbing a high mountain and looking down at the abyss, ethereal and deep, as if there is a giant dragon lying on it. It's the name of the dragon yuan. Therefore, the name of this sword is called "Seven Star Longyuan", referred to as "Longyuan Sword".
