178. Go to Sword Castle
Mo Dao gradually understood a little bit beside him, and hurriedly interjected: "I know, you must be talking about Feng Yu of the previous generation." ”
Feng Yanping hurriedly shouted: "Don't say it!"
Mo Dao said disappreciatively: "The matter is over, I don't think this should be a secret anymore." ”
Feng Yanping said solemnly: "No! This matter should still be a secret, I promised her, promised her that when she revealed the secret, it must be at the time she designated, and it has not yet come." ”
The old man hurriedly asked, "When will it be?"
Feng Yanping smiled slightly: "I can't say this, anyway, I will never disappoint you when the time comes, I have waited for forty years, why should you care about that moment." ”
The old man thought for a moment before saying, "Okay! ”
Feng Yanping smiled: "Of course, I am a person who believes in the will of heaven, and God has arranged so many coincidences, I dare not act against heaven." ”
The old man was silent and began to row again, Meng Su couldn't help but say, "The seniors can always tell their names now, right?"
The old man snorted and said: "The young man is really asking this question, when the old man took the wooden oar, he had already revealed his identity, if the young man had heard a little about the people in the rivers and lakes, he should have understood it a long time ago." ”
Meng Su said puzzledly: "The juniors really don't understand. ”
The old man snorted again and said, "Among the martial arts, there are a few people who can easily take down weapons in the hands of Wudang disciples!"
Meng Su couldn't help but be stunned, secretly thinking about the scene when the wooden oar was taken away by him just now.
Although it is not a weapon, it can be seen that a person who practices martial arts, no matter what he holds in his hand, always has a certain posture, and the shape of the wooden oar is like a sword, which is naturally in accordance with the posture of holding the sword.
The old man effortlessly snatched away the oars, which was tantamount to snatching the sword from his hand.
With his position as the head of the head of the Wudang inheritance mantle, this old man's skills are indeed amazing, and after calculation, only two people of the older generation of martial arts celebrities who have become famous can have this attainment.
One is Wu Wenhua, the king of Tota, who is a tall and tall giant, so naturally it can't be this old man.
The other is the well-known white-clothed Langjun Chongjun in Jiangnan, it is said that he is a beautiful man, although he is getting old, he should not decline to this extent?
Seeing that he was still silent, the old man still snorted and said angrily: "The years are ruthless at the end, and the old decay has only been separated from the rivers and lakes for forty years, and has been forgotten without a trace. ”
Meng Su couldn't help but move when he heard him mention another forty years, because the white-clothed Langjun Chongjun had been in the dustless rivers and lakes for almost forty years.
Although the average young up-and-comer has never met him, they can hear his name from the mouths of the predecessors of the previous generation from time to time.
And whether it is or not, let's guess him, so he said with a whole look: "The predecessor is the white-clothed Langjun who is well-known in the south of the Yangtze River - Chongdaxia?"
The old man snorted and said, "Why do you make such an assumption?"
Meng Su thought about it and said: "From the method of snatching the oars just now, only Wu Daxia, the king of Tota, and Jiangnan Chongdaxia have this attainment, and the accent and figure of the predecessors cannot be Wu Daxia, so I think about it again." ”
The old man's expression moved slightly, and he sighed softly: "It's not bad, your master still remembers the name of the old man and told you." ”
Meng Su was taken aback and shouted: "Senior, you are really a noble hero, this seems too unexpected." ”
The old man sighed and said: "There is nothing surprising about this, the years are no more, although the word Chongjun is still hanging on people's lips, the white-clothed Langjun has become a decrepit old man." ”
Meng Su couldn't help but ask, "Senior, you may have no intention of the rivers and lakes, but why did you make it like this?"
Chongjun sighed and said: "I don't want the old fame anymore, and the old clothes are naturally not allowed to exist anymore, because I made an appointment with the old man, if there is a chance to see each other again, I vow to live together on this West Lake!"
Feng Yanping was not as polite to him as Meng Su, and snorted: "You will never have another chance in this life!"
Chongjun shook his head, tears welling up in his eyes, and sighed bitterly: "Yes! ”
Seeing that they were going to get entangled in that issue again, Mo Dao hurriedly diverted and asked, "Senior, what do you think about Sword Castle?"
Chongjun waited for a while, slowly eliminated the sadness on his face, and said with a different expression: "The old man buried himself on the famous lake, and he wanted to spend his life quietly, but he couldn't help his life, and he became neighbors with Zhu Di. ”
Meng Su asked urgently, "Have you seen Zhu Di?" Chongjun nodded and said, "Have you only seen it, and I have also compared a few swordsmanship with him." ”
Meng Su said more anxiously: "Have you compared swords with him?
Chongjun shook his head with emotion and said: "Zhu Di is worthy of the respect of the Sword Emperor, his swordsmanship is indeed invincible, on the ninth move, the old man abandoned the sword and admitted defeat, but he didn't know who the old man was." ”
Meng Su's face couldn't help but change slightly, Chongjun knew what he was thinking, and smiled and said, "Don't worry! The old man didn't become a retainer of the Sword Emperor, he actually sent me out of the Sword Fort very politely and allowed me to live freely on the lake." ”
Mo Dao thought for a moment and said, "The seniors seem to have a very good impression of Zhu Di. ”
Chongjun nodded and said: "Yes, he is indeed a character, the most rare thing is his bearing, which is heartbreaking, if the old man does not have that sad thing, he is really willing to get along with him for some time." ”
Meng Su and Feng Yanping snorted dissatisfied, but Chongjun smiled and said: "Of course he is not a perfect person, he is ambitious, he is arrogant, but people do have something to be proud of!"
Meng Su was even more dissatisfied, and almost had a seizure.
Chongjun reacted faster than him, and immediately continued: "You can rest assured, although I am saying good things about him, I also don't like his empty-eyed style, so I sincerely hope that someone can defeat him, which is why I am willing to send you to Sword Castle." ”
Meng Su had a better opinion of him at this time, and asked lightly, "Do seniors think we have this hope?"
Chongjun thought for a moment and said: "It's hard to say, in terms of my old man's six-move swordsmanship, it is absolutely impossible, but I just saw the little brother's move, although your path is the same, it seems to be more powerful." ”
Feng Yanping smiled and said: "Of course, this set of swordsmanship actually only has four moves, and that person only shows half of his power, and deliberately separates the last two moves to make it six moves, so naturally it can't be done in one go." ”
Chongjun was stunned for a moment before saying: "So that's the case, so you still seem to have some hope, even if you can't defeat him, you won't lose too badly." ”
"I wish the two of you success in victory, as long as you can defeat him, slightly dampen his arrogance, and make him easy to get along with people in the martial arts, it will be a great thing. ”
Meng Su was silent, Feng Yanping was silent, but Chongjun excitedly resumed the oars, making the boat sail on the lake like an enclave.
After a while, the shore of the lake was in sight again. Chongjun fell into a small port, the port current was quite fast, and the boat went upstream.
If it weren't for Chongjun's skill and boat skills, the boat would not have been able to move at all.
Because the harbor is bent and folded, sometimes two rocks suddenly appear, and the gap is only allowed for a boat to pass through.
Seeing that the two sides of the strait were quite flat, Meng Su smiled and said, "Senior! Isn't it much faster?"
Chongjun shook his head and said, "It doesn't work, there is only one waterway to the Sword Castle, and you will never be able to enter the Sword Castle on the shore." ”
Meng Su didn't seem to believe his words, but it was inconvenient to refute it, so he let him move forward. After walking for a while, Chongjun suddenly fell off the boat and sailed into a tributary, narrower than before, but the water was much gentler, after several turns, a peak was in sight, and the river flowed out of a cave under the peak, along the height of three feet.
Chongjun sailed into the cave without thinking about it, and gradually widened, and finally came to a mountainside, where there were holes everywhere, and only the glimmer of light could be discerned, Chongjun looked at it slightly, and then carefully rowed to a low hole, where it was lower.
They had to bend down so that they wouldn't touch the cave wall, and when they walked out for half a mile, their eyes suddenly opened up.
The mulberry trees on both sides of the bank are verdant and pleasing to the eye, the river is wider, and the water potential is flatter, Chongjun smiled proudly: "This is the only way to the Sword Castle, if you go by the dry road, you will definitely be led to the wrong path by the turbulent tributaries." ”
Mo Dao also believed his words at this time, and sighed lightly: "Why is the Sword Castle set up in such a hidden place?"
Chongjun smiled: "Naturally, I am afraid that people will find trouble, the Zhu family has already aroused the public anger of the martial arts in the world, so I don't want to be secretive, I am afraid that I will disturb it all day long." ”
Mo Dao sneered: "Are they still afraid of people looking for trouble?"
Chongjun said gently: "That's not the case, Zhu Di promised himself as the Sword Emperor, so he was naturally not afraid of people coming to the door to cause trouble, but there were not too many people available to them, and he couldn't deal with them one by one, and if his subordinates were careless, he didn't want to kill or injure people." ”
Mo Dao sneered again and said, "Will he want to hurt people?"
Chongjun said solemnly: "Zhu Di and his son have been heroic in martial arts so far, but they have never killed a single human life, which is why I said good things about him. ”
Mo Dao was speechless at this moment.
Zhu Baijie chose Wudang as his first stop, and then defeated all the major sword sects in the world, but he never heard of anyone being killed by him, at most he cut off his nose and ears to show punishment.
However, there were several masters of the rivers and lakes with a strong temperament, and after being insulted, they committed suicide in anger.
In terms of responsibility, Zhu can hardly escape the blame, strictly speaking, he can only blame those people for not thinking too much, their skills are not as good as others, they are reckless and ruthless, and it is expected that they will be humiliated.
Those who practice martial arts should first have the mind to accept failure, work hard because of setbacks, and seek revenge for shame, which is the true character of heroes.
Chongjun rowed the boat very quickly, and after a while, he passed through the mulberry forest and came to a small boat mooring, where several small boats were already parked, and two men in peasant clothes were guarding there.
After seeing Chongjun, a man immediately laughed and said, "Old man, you are unfortunate to come today, there is an urgent matter in the castle, and the castle owner may not be able to spare time to entertain you." ”
Chongjun smiled and said, "I know, I also saw the signal and rushed to take a look, what happened in the fort?"
The man was stunned for a moment before he said: "It seems that four people came to challenge the castle master, and the castle owner happened to be not at home, so he went to Bixia Cave to find the old monk to play chess, and Mr. Yuwen was responsible for the reception." ”
"Those people are very strong in swordsmanship, six or seven of them cut off Mr. Yuwen's two fingers, Miss had no choice, so she had to send someone to ask the castle lord to come back, and on the other hand, she sent a signal to summon Gongzi back, and now they have just arrived, and they are probably still talking in the living room. ”
Chongjun couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Oh! there will be such a thing, where are those people coming from?
The man laughed and said: "It's not clear, the person they are the leader is very young, about the same age as the son, and he is the one who made the shot." ”
"The other three, though they are a little older, have not yet touched their hands, and do not know the depths, and they are more familiar with the situation in the fort than you are, and they have broken in from the shore. ”
Chongjun looked stunned again and said, "This is even more strange, I have to go and see it." ”
The man hesitated and said, "Old man, is it okay for you to go, these friends?"
