Wang Jin waited for Xu Zhi and the three of them to finish eating, and asked An Jingsi to pour a cup of tea for the three of them, and everyone sat around the table and talked. Xu Zhi saw that the tea leaves in the teacup were upside down, like a pole and a spear, staggered, and the tea was as clear as jasper, and he took a small sip and praised it repeatedly: "Good tea, really the best tea!"

Wang Jin replied: "Xu Yingying praised it falsely! This is our unique Qigun tea in Xianshan, and the people in the village use the local method to fry it themselves, so it is not a fine product in the tea! But the more you drink the tea, the stronger the taste, please taste it slowly!"

He Mengjiao took a sip of tea and praised: "Grandpa Wang, it's not to praise you! This tea is the most mellow green tea Mengjiao has ever drunk!"

Xue Atan rarely drinks tea, and when he is thirsty, he scoops a bowl of cold water to drink, and when he sees Xu and He praising the tea in front of him for its good fragrance, he can't help but take a sip, smack his lips, and say, "What kind of tea?" It's just a little different from ordinary water, and there is a strong bitter taste in the mouth!"

When they heard this, they all burst out laughing. He Mengjiao glanced at Xue Atan's naïve attitude when he drank tea, and scolded with a smile: "Xue Atan, you are a stupid cow who can only bow your head and drink water, how can you taste this tea art and tea ceremony." ”

Xu Zhi finished drinking the tea and asked: "Grandpa Wang, you are really a paradise here, and the villagers are also very friendly and enthusiastic, I see that many villagers call you an adult, you are always a member of the officialdom?"

Wang Jin said with a smile: "How can the old man be a person in the officialdom! Xu Yingying doesn't know: our villagers in the Coniferous Valley are very upright, and they don't have a size or dignity between each other, and they are used to calling each other indiscriminately, which makes the three of them laugh!"

Xue Atan saw that Wang Jin's words seemed to be a little unspeakable, patted his chest, and shouted: "Grandpa Wang, the three of us are not bad people, you have always offended the emperor, and we will not pass it on to you!

Wang Jin said with a smile: "Xue Yingying, the old man is a person who is about to enter the ground, and he has nothing to worry about, but he is worried that the peaceful life of the villagers will be broken because of this." The old man had never talked to outsiders about his life experience, and he wanted to bring this secret into the ground. Since Xu Yingying asked about this, I will tell the three of us the origin of our taiga valley as it is, hoping that the three of you will keep it a secret for us. If the old man is gone, take care of Xiao Jingsi for the old man and raise him as an adult!"

Wang Jin saw that Xu Zhi and the three of them readily agreed, and then slowly revealed the secret hidden in his heart for many years: "More than a hundred years ago, the Anshi Rebellion had just subsided, and the world was initially decided, but there were many rebels under An Lushan and Shi Siming, and the court could not eradicate the roots when they saw that the grass could not be removed. ”

He Mengjiao nodded and sighed: "It turns out that the bane of the chaos in this world has been planted more than a hundred years ago!"

Wang Jin said: "It can be said that this is the case, but the disposal of Anshi's personal entourage and staff has given the court a headache, these literati can neither be killed all, nor can they be reused like military generals, the court has to send most of the people to the army, and a very small number of coerced followers are imprisoned on the spot." ”

Xue Atan interjected: "I think this kind of handling by the imperial court is very appropriate! Criminals are also divided into masterminds and coercion, of course, the punishment must be appropriate, otherwise the people of the world will not accept it!"

Xu Zhi also sighed: "At that time, the imperial court experienced 8 years of war, and hoped to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people as soon as possible, so it was very correct to adopt a tolerant policy, but it was just that these coerced literati suffered from it, I don't know what happened to them?"

Wang Jin continued: "These coerced men began to be concentrated in Daizhou, and later the imperial court was worried that the Hebei feudal towns would kidnap these literati and rebel again, so they sent a general surnamed Wang to move these people south to Suizhou. Many of these young men were reluctant to travel with the army and plotted to escape, but when it came to light, they were killed, and in the end there were less than 100 left, most of them women and children, old and sick. The general surnamed Wang saw that these people were in rags, trekking all the way, exposed to the sun and rain, very hard, and felt a little unbearable, so the general surnamed Wang led these people to escape without permission and hid in the coniferous valley of this clam mountain to settle down, and later there was this small village. ”

He Mengjiao asked again: "That general surnamed Wang, if Mengjiao didn't guess wrong, he should have some relationship with Grandpa Wang, right?"

Wang Jin replied: "Miss He just guessed, this general surnamed Wang is my great-grandfather, he was once a guard of the palace and was under the command of General Youwuwei. Later, after the An Lushan rebels captured Tongguan, my great-grandfather had escorted Xuanzong, Suzong and his son to evacuate Chang'an, and later after the Anshi rebellion was quelled, because of his military merits, he was appointed as the general of Jinwu Zhonglang in the Daizong Dynasty. ”

Xu Zhi asked puzzledly: "Grandpa Wang, your ancestor has been an official in the court, how could he be sent by the court to this remote Ruzhou?"

Wang Jin asked An Jingsi to cook a pot of tea for the three of them, and continued: "Until the second year of the Great Calendar, there was a Li Twelve Niang in the court, and my ancestor saw that this Li Twelve Niang was not only very beautiful, but also good at fencing and dancing, and felt that her dancing posture was vigorous and changeable, and it was very spectacular, so he secretly asked her: Who did you learn from? Li Twelve Niang replied: She is a disciple of Gongsun Auntie. ”

Xu Zhi was very surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Aunt Gongsun?" is it Gongsun Lan, the leader of the No. 1 dance sect in the rivers and lakes more than a hundred years ago?"

Wang Jin nodded, and continued: "My ancestor was also very surprised when he heard it, he had seen Gongsun Auntie dance "Sword Qi" and "Hun Off" dance, the swordsmanship was smooth and elegant, the sword light was dazzling, like Hou Yi shooting down the nine suns, the dance posture was vigorous and agile, just like the god driving the dragon to fly, the sword momentum was like a thunderbolt when dancing, it was breathtaking, and the dance was calm, as if the waves of the river and sea were condensed, worthy of being the first in the world, up to the inside and outside of the palace, down to the four lakes and seas, and the one who understood this sword and this dance was only Gongsun Auntie at that time. ”

Wang Jin was surprised to see Xu Zhi and the three of them listened, and said with a smile: "According to my ancestor friend, Du Fu Du Zimei, who was the left of Zuo at the time, recalled that Zhang Xu, a native of Wuzhou at that time, was good at writing cursive calligraphy, and often watched Gongsun Auntie dance a kind of "Xihe Sword Weapon" dance in Ye County. ”

He Mengjiao was very yearning for this Gongsun Aunt, and said faintly: "This Gongsun senior must be a fairy-like figure, she can mix swordsmanship and dancing skills together, she is really a martial arts genius!"

Xu Zhi also sighed: "Miss He is right, this senior disciple's swordsmanship is still so exquisite, not to mention her master!

Wang Jin continued: "Later, one night, my ancestor happened to be guarding the palace, and saw a black shadow trespassing into the emperor's imperial study, my ancestor saw that the back seemed to be a woman, so he commanded the guards to follow closely, and stopped her when the person was looking through the book records, and the two fought for a long time, and my ancestor recognized that this person was Li Shi Niang, who had not long entered the palace, and exonerated her by saying that the woman had not long entered the palace, and she had lost her way for a while and went to the wrong court. Afterwards, Li Twelve Niang saw that my ancestor was very righteous, and she was very grateful for his help, and took the initiative to tell him why she wanted to enter the palace and why she peeked at the palace books. ”

It turned out that when Gongsun Auntie traveled to Hebei Zhuzhou, she saw local folk rumors: An Lushan was favored by the Ming Emperor, and he was unwilling to rebel, until a scholar presented a palace book. After the Anshi rebellion subsided, this court book disappeared from then on, and then there were rumors that the strange book will soon come to Taiyuan, the land of Longxing, three generations later, Emperor Dezong had the disaster to avoid, and those who got the strange book won the world.

Those feudal towns in Hebei were originally the old department of Anshi, although they were recruited by the imperial court, but their original intentions did not change, and they still eyed the imperial court, and they secretly recruited troops and horses, preparing to hold the literati and strategists of Daizhou hostage, preparing to make a comeback, attacking Taiyuan, and then entering the customs, occupying Chang'an, and fulfilling the prophecy of Qishu.

Seeing that a bloody disaster was about to befall the people of the world again, Aunt Gongsun really didn't want to see the people of the world ravaged again, so she decided to go to Taiyuan in person to check the whereabouts of the strange book, and on the other hand, let her disciple Li Twelve Niang enter the palace to secretly check whether the strange book had been stolen as rumored.

Later, Li Twelve Niang took advantage of the occasion of the performance to the court, Ming Cha secretly visited the Taishi Bureau, Si Tianjian, the imperial study and other ancient documents, and found that this palace book is called "Tui Bei Tu", which was written by Li Chunfeng, the secretary of the Taizong Dynasty, and the world's major events are revealed with a picture and a song, and the implication is very obscure. It's a pity that "Tui Bei Tu" was stolen from the Tianhou Dynasty, and the palace records were stolen from the Xuanzong Dynasty, and now both are missing.

Wang Jin continued: "Li Shiniang speculated that the loss of "Tui Bei Tu" was related to the rebellion of Xu Jingye in the Tianhou Dynasty, and it was very likely that it was lost in Runzhou. The theft of the palace records is related to the An Lushan rebels, and it is very likely that it was lost in Taiyuan. When my ancestor saw this Li Twelve Niang tell the truth, he not only admired her martial arts, but also greatly admired her chivalry for the country and the people. Since then, my ancestor and this Li Twelve Niang have often corresponded and asked each other for some swordsmanship, and gradually the two have developed a feeling of admiration, but the identity of the two is very different, coupled with the strict guards in the palace, the two have to bury the pain of lovesickness deep in their hearts. ”

He Mengjiao listened to the result, was very melancholy, and said with emotion: "Yes!" As soon as the Hou Gate entered the deep sea, Xiao Lang was also a passerby, the secluded court was really bitter about the two lovers, I don't know how the relationship between the two seniors ended?"

Wang Jin said: "Just when the two of them didn't know how to break this dilemma, my great-grandfather heard that the imperial court was going to select a general to move to Daizhou's rebellion to Suizhou, and my great-grandfather felt that this was a good opportunity to get out of the palace. So he secretly discussed with Li Twelve Niang, let her go back to her hometown Yingchuan first, and then he settled down, and then went to pick her up!"

When He Mengjiao heard this, she couldn't help but praise: "This method is really good! I wish a lover will eventually become a family!"

Xue Atan also listened with relish, and couldn't interject for a while, so he had to urge: "Grandpa Wang, tell me quickly, what happened to the two of you?"

Wang Jin smiled: "Don't rush me, let me drink tea, moisten my throat and then speak!"

When Xue Atan heard this, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak again.

Wang Jin took a sip of tea and continued: "Later, as mentioned earlier, my great-grandfather led the remaining criminals to escape into the Clam Mountain in Ruzhou without permission, and took Li Twelve Niang over as well. My great-grandfather saw that people often went up to this clam mountain to cut wood and hunt, and he was afraid that this would reveal the identities of the people, so he led the people to migrate to the depths of the mountain and settled in this coniferous valley. In order to disturb the sight of the mountain people, I, the villagers of the Taiga Valley for generations, have been disguised as all kinds of ghosts and spread all kinds of horrors to scare those who try to enter the Taiga Valley, so our ancestors have lived here peacefully for more than 100 years!"

Xue Atan suddenly realized: "When I was a child, I heard that in the coniferous valley behind this clam mountain, there are powerful ghosts that eat people, eat human flesh and drink human blood, it turns out that this is the case!"

Xu Zhi also smiled and said: "There are no ghosts or monsters in this world, it's just that the world is asking for trouble! By the way, Grandpa Wang, then you have lived in this coniferous valley for generations, and you don't interact with outsiders, how can you maintain the necessary livelihood?"

Wang Jin laughed mysteriously and said, "Why don't you interact with the outside world? What do so many of us eat?"

Xue Atan didn't know what he meant, and asked stupidly: "This valley is so secret, surrounded by high mountains, how can you get out?"

Wang Jin laughed and asked, "Then how did you enter this coniferous valley?"

Xu Zhi and He Mengjiao understood at the same time, and shouted: "So that's the case, this entrance is really wonderful!"

Xue Atan still didn't understand, He Mengjiao glanced at him and said, "Grandpa Wang and the villagers must have used the stream when we came to go out of the mountains to communicate with the outside world, grandpa, don't you say?"

Wang Jin glanced at He Mengjiao approvingly, and said: "Miss He is right, we just used the waterway in the forest to go around the mountains and go to Ruzhou to buy food and goods, but in order to hide people's eyes, it was me and Xiao Jingsi who went out every time. ”

Xue Atan finally understood, and let out a heavy "oh".

Xu Zhi saw that although Wang Jin's beard was pale, his face was ruddy, and his voice was constantly speaking, not panting, and he was full of breath, and asked, "Grandpa Wang, are you old and long?"

Before Wang Jin could answer, An Jingsi, who was playing with the white ape on the side, listened to it and replied first: "My grandfather is almost seventy-eight this year!"

Xu Zhi was very surprised when he heard this, and said: "Grandpa Wang, you are already in your old age, and your body is still very tough, it is really a blessing and envy!"

Wang Jin hurriedly said modestly: "Xu Yingying doesn't know, the old man followed his grandfather when he was young, and his father also learned some fists, feet and swordsmanship, so he went over the mountains and waded through the rivers, and his body barely supported it." But I'm also old and weak, unlike you young people!"

Xu Zhi asked: "I have long heard that the swordsmanship of the Gongsun Auntie Dance School has long been lost, and now the swordsmanship in the rivers and lakes is respected by the eighteen-style "plum blossom sword" of the Jiang Temple, and then there is the Shaolin Dharma Sword and the Wudang Taiji Sword, is Grandpa Wang's swordsmanship from the Gongsun Auntie's faction?"

Wang Jin saw that Xu Zhi was so familiar with the swordsmanship of the rivers and lakes, and he was so enthusiastic, knowing that although he was not a famous disciple, he was extremely humble and studious, and thought to himself, the swordsmanship of our dance school has always been a single transmission, and now Jingsi is still young, and the foundation is not strong, it is obviously too early to teach him to practice swordsmanship, and he is old, is it possible that the first swordsmanship in the world has been lost in his own hands?

Wang Jin thought about it again and again, and said to Xu Zhi: "Yes, I am the eighth generation of the Yan Dance School, and it is said that our Yu Dance School's swordsmanship is the first in the world, and it is to exalt us, I see Xu Yingying and Miss He walking in the rivers and lakes, and have also learned some swordsmanship.

Xu Zhi and He Mengjiao saw Wang Jin say this, knowing that he wanted to instruct him in his swordsmanship, so the two of them bowed to Wang together and took the wooden sword in An Jingsi's hand with both hands.

Wang Jin also took a wooden sword in his hand and said, "You two are attacking me, let me see how your swordsmanship is?"

Xu Zhi didn't dare to be rude, so he attacked rashly, so he had to lower his sword head and make a move "Cangsong welcomes guests", which is both a false move and a real move. But Xu Zhi's move was indeed a false move to pay tribute to his elders, Wang Jin saw that he was polite to him, and secretly liked it in his heart, and said: "Brother Xu, you're welcome, please make a move!"

Xu Zhi according to the direction of the gossip, turn the figure, a circle and then circle to cast the Taiji sword, the Wudang Taiji sword legend is the Ming Dynasty Zhang Sanfeng created, but as early as the Tang Dynasty there is the prototype of the Wudang Mountain Taiji sword, and the Taiji sword is heavy in the sword qi is endless, with static braking, and the latter strikes, so the swordsmanship seems to be clumsy and not good at changing. And Wang Jin's swordsmanship comes from Gongsun Lan, the first master of the Tang Dynasty, and Gongsun Lan combines dance posture and rhythm in swordsmanship, pursuing the natural agility of swordsmanship, so Wang Jin's swordsmanship is more elegant, more varied, and more inspiring at the beginning, even if a breeze blows, swordsmanship and body shape will change with the wind.
