Before I arrived at the ancestral shrine, I heard the sound of swords and swords.

From a distance, in the firelight, the ancestral hall of the Zhang family had collapsed more than half, and the three old men in Mai were surrounded by seven black-clothed people. Although these three old men have superb swordsmanship, those people in black are also good at the rivers and lakes, and they couldn't argue for a while.

When Bai Yujing and a few people arrived, they only heard an old man shouting: "Hurry up and chase, someone has snatched the sword gall!"

Zhang Fusheng's face turned pale, "Uncle, fourth uncle, sixth uncle, where is my father?"

When the black-clothed men saw Bai Yujing and a few people coming, they hurriedly divided a few people to greet them. In this way, the pressure of the three old men suddenly decreased, and one of them said, "Fusheng, your father has gone after the thief." ”

Zhang Fusheng wanted to ask which direction to go again, but a man in black came with a stick. As soon as the two of them handed over, Zhang Fusheng exclaimed: "The people of the Junshan Beggar Gang?" This made him wonder, most of these people are people from various famous families, and who can gather them together and plot the sword courage of their villa?

"Ahh

A miserable scream came, and both Qin Ruyi and Zhang Fusheng couldn't help but be surprised. That Yao Mingyue looked like a weak woman, but she was the first among them to kill the enemy. Bai Yujing didn't think it was strange, after all, in real terms, Yao Mingyue's swordsmanship was even higher than him.

After Yao Mingyue solved a man in black, Qin Ruyi was not to be outdone, relying on the spirit of "stepping on the fight", the whole body was not bad, he stepped forward, and a palm was imprinted on the chest of a man in black, and the man was immediately beaten three feet away.

At this time, Zhang Zhihe also arrived with many guards, "Daddy, grandpa, he was seriously injured." ”

When Zhang Fusheng heard this, he was even more murderous in his heart. The man in black swept through thousands of troops, Zhang Fusheng suddenly wanted to take off his boots, his body was short, and he seemed to be drunk, he pounced forward, and the long sword cut the man in black straight down the plate, which was "drunk and took off the golden boots".

If he misses a blow, he is afraid of bearing the danger of the man in black "beating the dog's head".

Fortunately, he was in a hurry, and the man in black didn't expect Zhang Fusheng to make such a dangerous move when he had the upper hand, and he cut off half of his right foot and calf with a sword.

At this time, those men in black were subdued one by one.

"Thanks to a few helpers tonight, Zhang still has to deal with some chores here, and if there is any neglect, please Haihan. Zhang Fusheng said as he said to Zhang Zhihe: "Zhihe, take a few distinguished guests to rest first." ”

"Just rest, Master Zhang, why don't you prepare a few jars of good wine for us. Qin Ruyi smiled: "White boy, we haven't been drinking together for a long time, right?"

"It's been more than three years. Bai Yujing said with a smile.

"Qin Zhenren, Brother Bai Dao, please here, don't say anything else, there are still a lot of wines in our villa. Zhang Zhihe said, "Miss Yao, it's better to be together, I'll have someone prepare a good white fungus soup for you." ”

Yao Mingyue didn't speak, just frowned slightly. Bai Yujing saw it and said with a smile: "Although Brother Zhang has prepared good wine, if it is mixed with water, it doesn't matter if Uncle Yao and Uncle Yao don't like it." When she gets angry, you're going to suffer. ”

"Brother Bai Dao is really good at laughing, it's not me who blows, as long as there is a fine wine in the south of the Yangtze River, there are stores in the village. ”

A few people walked into a hall while talking, and some people were already serving wine and food one after another, and a few people brought more than a dozen jars of fine wine, with many different varieties. Some of the jars were still stained with yellow mud, apparently freshly dug out of the ground.

Zhang Zhihe grabbed the jar with yellow mud and said: "This is still the champion red that I will bury when I was born, Qin Daochang, Brother Bai Dao, Miss Yao, I will fill it for you." ”

Gently open the lid, and the room is immediately full of fragrance.

Zhuangyuan red is rice wine, and the longer it is left for time, the stronger the fragrance and the more mellow the taste.

When Zhang Zhihe was about to fill Qin Ruyi's wine glass, Qin Ruyi laughed, snatched the wine jar, "You're welcome, nephew" said while pouring himself a big bowl, but he disliked the small cup. casually threw the wine jar and threw it to Bai Yujing: "Bai boy, don't get drunk tonight!"

Bai Yujing was originally about to pour it into the wine glass, but when he said this, he also poured it into the big bowl. "Brother Zhang, I have to trouble you to open another altar. But the wine had been left for a long time, and there was not much left, and the two large bowls were emptied clean.

"Brother Bai Dao is polite. Zhang Zhihe opened another jar of wine for Yao Mingyue and himself. Just as they were about to say something, Qin Ruyi and Bai Yujing had already gulped a bowl each. I saw Qin Ruyi take a long breath of wine and said, "White boy, this wine is really good, much better than the old flower green you hid last time." ”

Bai Yujing nodded, seeing that Zhang Zhihe was going to open the wine jar, with a wave of his long sleeves, his true anger surged, and a jar of fine wine was caught in his hand. poured a bowl for Qin Ruyi and himself, and Qin Ruyi casually dried it up. As soon as this wine was in my mouth, I didn't feel it at first, but when it entered my stomach, I suddenly felt a warmth, and all my limbs were warm.

"Hey, this wine ......" Qin Ruyi shook his head: "It's so strong...... The spirits in the world are feared to be unsurpassed. ”

Zhang Zhihe said with a slight meaning: "That is, the sunshine of this Jinhua Mansion is the palace tribute wine, and it only brews so many hundred jars a year, and the idlers can't taste it at all." ”

Bai Yujing heard the two of them praise like this, and was about to taste it, but saw a white hand snatching his wine bowl, it was Yao Mingyue, she took a sip lightly, and threw it back to Bai Yujing. Bai Yujing hurriedly caught it, for fear that the wine would be knocked away by her.

I heard Yao Mingyue say lightly: "Although this wine is strong, I'm afraid it can't compare to the Nanguo Xinfeng wine in Fengyang Mansion." ”

"Nanguo Xinfeng Wine?" Qin Ruyi and Zhang Zhihe obviously hadn't heard of it, Zhang Zhihe couldn't help but wonder: "This is a tribute wine, so can Nanguo Xinfeng wine be better than this Yanyang burning?"

Yao Mingyue was noncommittal, obviously too lazy to argue.

Bai Yujing peeked at Yao Mingyue, saw that her expression was the same, and said secretly: "Where did Miss Yao know about Nanguo Xinfeng Wine, I heard the old man say that this wine is never bought and sold to the outside world that day...... Although she was puzzled, she didn't ask.

After drinking half a bowl of Yanyang Yao, although the taste is strong, it is indeed not as good as drinking Nanguo Xinfeng wine on the way to Xuzhou when I just came down the mountain.

"Young owner, the owner of the village let you go over. ”

At this time, a guard hurriedly walked over, and Zhang Zhihe couldn't help but apologize and leave. After he left, Qin Ruyi's originally drunk eyes seemed to be clearer, and he said slowly: "Bai boy, I'm afraid that the rivers and lakes are not peaceful, if you have nothing to do, you will return to the mountain early." ”

"Why did Uncle Shi say this?" Bai Yujing exclaimed.

Qin Ruyi swept the surroundings casually, looked at Yao Mingyue again, and said in a low voice, "Do you know what a sword gall is?"

Bai Yujing shook his head, but thinking about it, this sword courage must be extraordinary.

The martial arts of the three old men in Mai are each above Zhang Fusheng, and they are all first-class players in the rivers and lakes. But he is willing to guard the ancestral shrine, even if there is a disaster in the village, he doesn't care about it, which shows the importance of the sword courage.

"It's a token, a token of the Great War of Demons ......"

Next to the ancestral ancestral hall of the Zhang family in the southwest of the Sword Casting Villa, in a room, three old men in sackcloth and Zhang Fusheng were looking at the old man in sackcloth who looked pale and dying on the bed. That old man is Zhang Fusheng's father, the predecessor of Sword Casting Villa, who advocated Xiaoquan.

I only heard Zhang Fusheng say: "There are a total of eighteen black-clothed people who came to attack, except for the one who took away the sword gall, the rest have been ambushed. Their identities have also been basically verified, there are Shaolin, Qingcheng, Junshan Beggars Gang, Liangshan Qingyun Sect, Dongting Shendaomen, Nanjing Yinglong Gang, etc., all of them are righteous sects, and there are no demon thieves......"

There was a hint of annoyance in Zhang Xiaoquan's eyes: "Are these people crazy?" Although his voice was very soft, everyone present could feel the anger in his heart. Zhang Fusheng shook his head, looking a little remorseful: "I should have thought of it, the man in white is fake, obviously not for some Penglai Immortal Island sea chart." In addition to the sword gall, I am afraid that there is nothing in our village that is worthy of their enthusiasm. ”

"The sword courage has been lost, and the heart of the piano is missing. Zhang Xiaoquan said this, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I heard that there is a purple-clothed dragon king in this generation of Qin Ge, whose whereabouts are secretive, and they are overseas all the year round, and it will take them some time to obtain the heart of the qin." Fusheng, you quickly send someone to inform Shaolin Wudang that the Demon Gate wants to reappear in the rivers and lakes and will fight Moyunling, so you must guard against it. ”

Zhang Fusheng nodded: "The people of Wudang will come in a few days, and they will be told in person when the time comes." On the Shaolin side, I asked Zhihe to deliver the letter in person, hurry up, half a month is enough!"

When Zhang Xiaoquan heard this, he showed a smile and said slowly: "Then I will rest assured." At this time, someone outside spread the word that Zhang Zhihe had arrived.

Bai Yujing finished the wine in the bowl, and only listened to Qin Ruyi's eloquent words: "More than a hundred years ago, Emperor Taizong set things right, vigorously supported the Wudang faction, and was the leader of the righteous path with Shaolin. So far, the dispute between the good and the devil has been set off, and the entire rivers and lakes have become a pot of porridge, and killings can be seen everywhere. ”

"Since ancient times, good and evil have been at odds, and this was even more so at that time. The people in the righteous path surrounded and suppressed the people in the demon path everywhere, and the people in the demon path also went around assassinating the people in the righteous path. But there is a pair of young men and women who dare to defy the world's condemnation and want to calm the dispute between good and evil. ”

"The man's birth Casting Sword Villa, apprenticed to Wudang, named Zhang Yunqing. The woman is a person in the Tingqin Pavilion, whose name is Hua Nishang. Tingqin Pavilion was not a demon gate at the beginning, but later during the previous dynasty, Hua Xingchen, the owner of Tingqin Pavilion, was unwilling to be controlled by the Tartars, so he resolutely joined the demon gate and rebelled against the officers and soldiers. ”

"Sword Casting Villa and Tingqin Pavilion have been friends for generations, and Zhang Yunqing and Hua Nishang are also childhood sweethearts. Later, Zhang Tianqing became the head of Wudang, and Hua Nishang was also the saintess of the Demon Gate at that time, and the two wanted to calm the dispute between the demons and the demons, so they promoted the battle of the demons in Moyunling. ”

"Ten people from each side of the good and the devil, and the winner sets the rules. The final result is naturally the victory of the righteous path, and all the demon gates will be exiled to Xiangxi and southern Xinjiang, unless the battle between the righteous and the demons resumes and the rules are reformulated, otherwise the demon gate is not allowed to enter and leave the rivers and lakes in a big way. ”

And the things that make the covenant are Zhang Tianqing's sword courage and Hua Nishang's piano heart. The sword gall was returned to the Sword Casting Villa, and the heart of the piano was placed in the Tingqin Pavilion. If one day, the sword gall and the heart of the qin appear in Moyunling, that is, when the battle between the righteous and the demon begins, and then the new rules will be renegotiated with victory or defeat. ”

"Of course, the most important point is that the Demon Gate can't snatch this sword gall by itself. And all of this was witnessed by Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard sent by Emperor Taizong, for more than 100 years, the people in the Demon Gate only dared to sneak in and out of the rivers and lakes, and it was also because of this. ”

"Seeing that the martial arts performed by those people just now are mostly people in the righteous path, why do you want them to grab this sword gut, I'm afraid they want to restart the battle of the righteous demons in Moyunling!" Qin Ruyi couldn't help but sigh when he said this.
