Chapter 237
Li Qiufeng looked at a flower tree not far away, and doubts rose in his heart. At that time, he was entrusted to go north to the capital to join Jinyiwei, and has endured it to this day. At that time, the man who summoned him to Beijing once said to him: "There are constant party disputes in the imperial court, and the turmoil is treacherous, and it is difficult to argue between right and wrong. The governors of all places sat and watched, all of them were extremely sleek, and the heads of the rats were at both ends. Some people who want to do great things, when they can't drive these governors to work for them, will use the people in the rivers and lakes to achieve their ulterior purposes. It's just that these court officials turned their hands into clouds and turned their hands into rain, and yesterday they called you brothers, and today they can put you to death. It is necessary to be extremely careful, and never to show your deeds lightly. ”
In the past few years, Li Qiufeng has always adhered to the reticence of "a thousand words, it is better to be silent", be careful in everything, and watch the battle between the various factions in the Jinyi Guard. When the incident of the imperial tomb happened, the temples and rivers and lakes crisscrossed the country, and it was difficult to argue with friends and enemies, so he had the heart of retreat. If he hadn't been worried about Murong Danyan's safety, he would have returned to Shuzhong a long time ago. At this moment, the turmoil is up again, and he has no clue, but it is better for Xiao Zhanpeng to stay out of the matter and see these complicated things clearly.
Today, look at these people in the rivers and lakes who arrived in Shajiabao, Lu Heng, Sun Ze, and Guan Ping are all frustrated people, Sha Yiming summoned these people here, if you take advantage of these people's eagerness for revenge, it is not difficult to set off a storm on the rivers and lakes. It's just that he really can't guess why a martial arts family like Shajiabao, who has great influence in the court and the rivers and lakes, wants to participate in the battle between the rivers and lakes and do this thing in the fire, but it is very incomprehensible.
As he was thinking, the noise in the courtyard suddenly fell silent. When Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng were talking, there was a lot of noise around them, but they were used to it. Suddenly there was silence, and both of them were startled, and then turned their heads to look into the courtyard.
I saw a group of gray-clothed Taoist priests coming to the courtyard, about six or seven people. The man at the head had a high bun, a wide robe with big sleeves, and a white complexion, which was quite immortal. When Qunhao saw these Taoist priests, they retreated to both sides and made way of a road. The Taoist priest did not squint and walked into the big house lightly.
Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng were taken aback when they saw that this Taoist morale was extraordinary, they didn't know where this Taoist priest came from, and they made Qunhao so afraid. Li Qiufeng whispered to Xiao Zhanpeng: "Look at the appearance of this Taoist priest, he must be a big man with a very high status in the martial arts. At present, Sha Yiming has not shown up, and there are many people in Shajiabao, so let's go to find Miss Murong at this time is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. It's better to go back to the big house first, wait and see what happens, and wait for an opportunity to find Miss Murong again. ”
The two of them discussed a few more words, and then quietly walked back to the big house. Li Qiufeng still walked back behind Sun Ze against the wall, but saw that the Taoist priest had already sat on the top of Guan Ping.
Li Qiufeng was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought: "Among the various factions of the martial arts righteous path, there are only a few sects such as Shaolin, Wudang, and Huashan that can suppress the Taishan faction. Qiu Ji, the head of the Huashan faction, did not come in person, and although Liu Yong, the 'star picking swordsman', was famous in the rivers and lakes, after all, he was not as respected as the head of the sect, and he was sitting at the head of the Taishan faction. Since this Taoist priest has sat at the head of Guan Ping, could it be that the head of the Wudang faction has arrived?"
Li Qiufeng has practiced martial arts with his master since he was a child, and has served his master for 18 years, but he has never heard his master mention the origin of his master. It's just that one year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the master drank happily and tried out a set of swordsmanship, and when he saw the strong autumn wind, he asked the master about the origin of this set of martial arts. His master said that this is the Wudang School's peerless Tai Chi swordsmanship, which pays attention to static braking and slow fighting, which is the top swordsmanship in the martial arts, and the Xuanxu sword technique practiced by Li Qiufeng complements each other. Li Qiufeng was itchy and unbearable, so he immediately asked his master to teach him this set of swordsmanship. His master said that if you want to practice the Tai Chi Sword Technique and the Xuanxu Sword Technique at the same time, you must have the internal strength of the Wudang Sect as the foundation. Li Qiufeng has practiced the original internal skills of the master since he was a child, which is completely different from the internal skills of the Wudang School, and if he wants to practice Tai Chi swordsmanship again, he has to start all over again. One is that it takes time, and the other is that although this sect is quite related to the Wudang faction, the well water does not interfere with the river water. If Li Qiufeng practiced the martial arts of the Wudang faction, if he met with the elders of the Wudang faction in the future, he would inevitably be embarrassed. What's more, Li Qiufeng's cultivation of the Xuanxu Sword Technique has reached an extremely high level, and if he practices the Tai Chi Sword Method at this time, it will inevitably be quite unfavorable for him to practice the Xuanxu Sword Technique.
When Li Qiufeng heard what his master said, he had to let go of his enthusiasm for practicing Tai Chi swordsmanship. It's just from Master's words that he already knows that this sect must have a lot to do with the Wudang Sect. Today, I heard Sun Ze tell the origin of the Xuanxu Sword Technique, and only then did I know that this martial arts came from the hands of Zhang Sanfeng, the ancestor of the Wudang faction, and I felt close to the Wudang faction in my heart. It was to see that Taoist immortal wind bones, and there was three points of respect in my heart.
Li Qiufeng stared at the Taoist priest for a long time, but unexpectedly, the Taoist priest suddenly turned his head slightly, his eyes were like electricity, and he turned his head on Li Qiufeng's face, and then turned his head again, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, and he didn't seem to care about the martial arts heroes around him.
Li Qiufeng was taken a look at by him, and his heart was shocked. This Taoist priest was so good, he just mixed in the crowd and looked at him a few times, and he was unexpectedly discovered by this person, this martial arts and astuteness, he is the top person in the rivers and lakes. Li Qiufeng was afraid that he would look at him and hide, so he turned his gaze to the side, just in time to see Xiao Zhanpeng standing behind Guan Ping. I saw Xiao Zhanpeng whispering to a Taishan sect disciple standing beside him, with a look of surprise on his face.
Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Look at the bearing of this Taoist priest, he is naturally a great figure in the martial arts. He sat at the head of Guan Ping again, but he was afraid that he was really a master of the Wudang faction. The Wudang faction and the Shaolin faction are equally famous in the world, and the leader is the righteous path of martial arts. It's just that 30 years ago, Master Yonghui took over as the host of Shaolin Temple, and he immediately concentrated on Buddhism and no longer cared about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. The first masters of Shaolin Temple, such as Dharma Academy, Pranya Hall, and Luohan Hall, have also retreated, and Shaolin Temple has rarely interacted with people in the rivers and lakes since then. The Wudang faction is becoming more and more famous, and the head of the sect, Yu Xingzi, is known as the fist and sword, although he does not have the name of the leader of the martial arts league, but he has the status of the leader of the martial arts league. A few days ago, I saw Fan Chongyin, the eldest disciple of Yuxingzi, in the imperial mausoleum, and his martial arts were indeed good. It's just that the bearing of this Taoist priest is far more than Fan Chongyin, but I'm afraid that he is still a figure of Fan Chongyin's master's generation. With his status and status, why didn't the heads of the various factions go to meet him?"
Li Qiufeng looked at it for a long time, but saw that Guan Ping, Liu Yong, Xu Chenghe, Chu Danyang and others were all sitting upright, and they didn't even look at this Taoist priest. He secretly wondered in his heart that Huashan, Qingcheng, Kunlun and other sects were all famous families of the righteous path, and they had always exchanged views with the Wudang faction. If this Taoist priest is a great figure in the Wudang faction, Liu Yong and the others should go to meet him. Why do they turn a blind eye one by one, as if they have a deep hatred with this Taoist priest. Could it be that I guessed wrong, this Taoist priest is not from the Wudang Sect?
He secretly regretted in his heart that he was late to enter the big house and didn't hear the name of this Taoist priest. I accidentally saw Yu Deshui, who was splitting the door, standing beside him, so he whispered: "Teacher Yu, you are polite." ”
That Yu Deshui was worried that Sun Ze would see through the hiding, and he was afraid of hitting his head when he dropped a leaf, and suddenly heard someone greeting him, although the voice was extremely low, but in his ears, he was afraid of hitting a thunderbolt. Yu Deshui's body trembled, and he looked at Li Qiufeng with a frightened expression. Li Qiufeng knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly said: "Below is the dart master of the Xingyuan Dart Bureau in the capital, whose surname is Xu Wenyuan. ”
Li Qiufeng was afraid that Yu Deshui would be suspicious, so he casually said a name. This Xu Wenyuan was Li Qiufeng's colleague in Jinyiwei, and he was the best friend of him, so he borrowed this name at this time. Yu Deshui heard that he was the dart master of Xingyuan Dart Bureau, but he was also forced by Sun Ze to go to Shajiabao together, so he put his mind at ease and said, "It turned out to be Teacher Wen, I don't know what to teach?"
Li Qiufeng said: "It's convenient to go out below, but it's too late to come back, I don't know where the Taoist priest on the opposite side comes from, and he actually sat at the head of the Taishan faction?"
Although Yu Deshui has been cautious and uneasy, he doesn't seem to have half a backbone, it is because the origin of the master has a holiday with Sun Ze, for fear that this old devil will kill himself in anger. In fact, he is extremely shrewd and knowledgeable, otherwise he would not have been sent by the head of the Splitting Sect to follow Lu Heng. At this time, his mind was a little calm, and seeing that Li Qiufeng was respectful and polite to him, he was quite happy in his heart, and said in a low voice: "This Taoist priest is very famous. He is called Yu Qingzi, and in terms of seniority, he is still the senior brother of Yu Xingzi, the current head of the Wudang faction!"
Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he thought secretly: "I've heard of the name of this Yu Qingzi. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that this person is good at martial arts, and the elders of the division all agree that he is the first master of the Wudang faction, and people from all factions in the rivers and lakes also regard this Yuqingzi as the best candidate for the next head of the Wudang faction. It's just that I don't know why he suddenly disappeared later, but his junior brother Yu Xingzi took over the position of head. In the past 20 years, no one has heard the name of Yuqingzi mentioned in the rivers and lakes, and I never imagined that he would go to Shajiabao today. ”
