Chapter IV

Lou Gengzhong stopped his sad voice and said: "Right now, I'm afraid that there are only three of our ancestors and grandchildren left in my Lou family. As he spoke, he took out the secret book of "Five Phases Dao" from his bosom and solemnly handed it to Lou Jiyuan, and continued: "You have been in the army all these years, and you know very little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Now that the Demon Sect is powerful, and they are all ruthless and vicious, they are doing everything possible to get this "Five Phases Dao" cheats, you must be cautious in doing things, don't show it to others easily, and give traitors a chance to take advantage of it. Lou Jiyuan nodded in response. Lou Gengzhong continued: "Your father often said that Yun'er, this kid is smart and calm, with excellent talent, and he is really a talent that can be created, and his future achievements may be comparable to the "extraordinary" prince of his ancestors. You have to teach him carefully and protect him well. The burden of re-enlarging my Shouyang Villa will be handed over to you father and son. Lou Jiyuan listened to it and intended to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start, and couldn't help crying.

Lou Gengzhong wanted to say more, but he had already run out of oil and dried up, and he passed out again. Lou Jiyuan successively input internal force to him, but he didn't react at all, and he was already exhausted. The father and son cried next to the corpse for a while, and had to find a piece of land behind the temple to bury Lou Gengzhong.

Seeing that the sky was hazy and bright, the father and son both felt hungry and sleepy, although they didn't know where to go, but they wanted to find some food in a town store first. Lou Jiyuan picked up Lou Yun, and the two rode a horse to the east. After traveling more than 30 miles, he came to a big town store, before finding an inn, he tied the horse to the horse stake in front of the door, and the two entered the store to ask for a room, and Lou Jiyuan ordered Xiao Er to get some food.

After a short time, the shopkeeper walked in with a tray and placed two bowls of scallion oil noodle soup and a few large meat stuffed buns on the table. Lou Jiyuan was very satisfied, and sent Xiao Er away, and the father and son devoured it. During the meal, Lou Er looked up at Lou Jiyuan and asked, "Daddy, are we going home?" Lou Jiyuan pondered for a while and said, "Yun'er, can Daddy take you to Jinan?" Lou Yun wanted his father to take him home, but he also vaguely knew that they had no home, so he nodded immediately.

The world is so big, where is the place to go? Lou Jiyuan has been thinking about this matter all the way. With the name of his Shouyang Villa, although there are many old friends on the rivers and lakes, he has never walked in the rivers and lakes, and he can't know a few. Yun'er's grandfather's house can't go, they are just ordinary people, it's good not to go, if they go, they can only bring disaster to them. After thinking about it, I thought of the Yue family in Jinan Prefecture.

The Yue family is a powerful family in Jinan Mansion. Yue Huahe, the head of the Yue family, was originally a lay disciple of the Shaolin School, and practiced martial arts in the Shaolin Temple since he was a child. Later, the Huwei Dart Bureau was opened in Jinan Mansion, and when the people in the rivers and lakes heard the name of the Huwei Dart Bureau, they had to give some face. And Wuji Shouyue Hua and Lou Gengnian's sworn brothers, the two have always been quite close. Not long ago, Yue Huahe also visited Shouyang Villa, and Lou Jiyuan was also very familiar with this uncle.

Thinking of this, Lou Jiyuan decided to defect to the Huwei Dart Bureau. Thinking of the moment, the government will soon issue a sea arrest document to arrest himself as a deserter, and the Demon Sect will never stop chasing and killing him, as long as Yue Hua can take him in, then he will be a dart head under him incognito, and after a few years, when Yun'er grows up, he will be the best choice at the moment.

After eating and drinking, Lou Jiyuan said: "Yun'er, you rest in the room first, and Daddy goes out to do some errands." Yun'er was already sleepy, took off her clothes, and fell into a deep sleep after a while. Lou Jiyuan came to the door of the inn, and removed the saddle, stirrups and other things, these utensils have the symbol of the army on them, which are too conspicuous, if they are discovered by someone with a heart, their whereabouts will be exposed, and it will be difficult to get out at that time. I asked the shop for the direction of the horse market, and I led the horse to go.

When I saw a ready-to-wear shop on the road, I bought a few sets of ordinary clothes and hats at random, and picked up a few cotton clothes that were suitable for Yun'er's size, wrapped them into a burden and carried them behind him. Passing by a secret place, he turned in, and when he saw that there was no one around, he quickly took off his military uniform, put on the newly bought clothes, and wrapped the saber in rags and tied it tightly to his body. After thinking about it, he rubbed some wall ash from the wall next to him and smeared it on his face. When he came out again, he had already turned into a sturdy ordinary farmer. After a while, he came to the horse market and sold the horse, exchanged it for some silver taels, and then returned to the inn.

Lou Jiyuan returned to the room and saw that Lou Yun was sleeping soundly, but there were two lines of undried tears on his face, and he muttered: "Mother...... Mother ......" sighed, and slept next to him in her clothes. I didn't wake up until the sun was setting, and I called the shopkeeper and asked him to help hire a big car, and set off to Jinan Mansion early tomorrow morning, the price was negotiable, and asked him to prepare more dry food. The shopkeeper likes this kind of livelihood the most, and said with a smile: "Yetai, don't worry, I will definitely do it for you." Then he went away with joy.

At this time, Lou Yun also woke up and shouted, "Daddy." Lou Jiyuan found the newly bought clothes for him to wear. Lou Yun saw that Lou Jiyuan had changed into a suit, and said with a grin: "Daddy, do you want to play games with me?" He saw his father in military uniforms or martial arts costumes on weekdays, and he had never seen his father look like this, and he had never worn such coarse cloth clothes, and he felt funny in his heart, thinking that his father was going to play a game with him, and he became very excited, and seemed to have forgotten about last night. Lou Ji said in a distant heart: "Sure enough, it is still a child's heart." Although he was still sad, when he saw Lou Yun's smiling appearance at this time, he felt a little comforted in his heart. forced a smile and accompanied Lou Yun to play for a while, and his mood felt a little more comfortable.

After the two had dinner, Lou Jiyuan took the secret book of "Five Phases Dao" from his arms, and said solemnly: "Yun'er, do you know these three words?" Lou Yun replied: "Yes, this is the Five Phases Dao." "Then do you know what the Five Phases Dao is?" Lou Jiyuan asked again. Lou Yun replied again: "The child doesn't know. Lou Jiyuan gently stroked the "Five Phases Dao" with his hand, and told the story of the Knowles ancestor Lou Bufan as a young hero, how to meet a famous teacher, how to act chivalrous and righteous, how to create the original magic "Five Phases Dao", and how to eradicate the Demon Sect. Although Lou Yun was young, he still listened to it with relish and his blood was boiling. In the end, Lou Jiyuan said: "Yun'er, you have to remember that this "Five Phases Dao" is the root of my Woo family, as long as the "Five Phases Dao" is still there, my Kuo clan will be immortal." Lou Yun saw his father's solemn expression, and said awe-inspiringly: "I remember, father." As long as "Five Phases Dao" is still there, our Knowles will be immortal. Seeing that it was late at night, Lou Jiyuan said: "Good boy, starting tomorrow, I will pass on your "Five Phases Dao". ”

Early the next morning, just after midnight, the cart driver still came. After having breakfast in a hurry, Lou Jiyuan's father and son boarded the car and hurried away. In the car, Lou Jiyuan took out the secret book of "Five Phases Dao" and handed it to Lou Yun, and said, "Yun'er, you read through it first." Lou Yun opened the secret book of "Five Phases Dao" and read it softly: "The Avenue of Heaven and Earth is all five phases. The five phases gather together, which is called a human being. However, people have high and low levels because of the five uneven aspects. The five phases are cultivated, and heaven and earth dare not block the ......" encountered unfamiliar rare words halfway, and after Lou Jiyuan's guidance, Lou Yun kept them in mind one by one.

After reading it like this, Lou Yun found the eight big characters on the title page, "Careful preservation, diligent understanding", and he had some doubts in his heart. Because the whole book is only more than ten pages, these eight words alone occupy a single page, but why is this? Lou Jiyuan was also puzzled, pondered for a while and said: "Everyone in the world knows that this secret book of "Five Phases Dao" was created by the ancestors, but only my children of the Lou family know that this secret book is written by the ancestors one by one. According to the rules of the clan, I have never seen the true face of this secret book before. I think the first sentence of these eight words should be telling our descendants to protect this secret book, and the second sentence should be the ancestors admonishing us to be diligent. Lou Yun listened and nodded with a look of understanding. In this way, after only one day's work, Lou Yun memorized the entire "Five Phases Dao" by heart, and memorized it like a stream.

On the second day, before dawn, father and son called the coachman to get up and hurry. Lou Yun recited "Five Phases" twice more in the car, all of which were word-for-word. Lou Jiyuan said: "Don't memorize it like this, start reciting it from the third page." Lou Yun was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't remember what the first sentence on the third page was. So I picked up "Five Phases Dao" and read it. Lou Jiyuan didn't explain, he only asked Lou Yun to memorize by rote, so two days passed, no matter which page or line he started from, Lou Yun could memorize it.

On the fifth day, Lou Jiyuan found a branch to use as a pen and asked Lou Yun to write "Five Phases Dao" on the car board, and wrote it more than ten times in one day. Since his father told Lou Yun about Lou Bufan's life the day before yesterday, Lou Yun was impressed by the peerless demeanor of this ancestor, and admired him infinitely in his heart. Knowing that this secret book was written by the ancestors themselves, he deliberately imitated the handwriting of the ancestors in the secret book during the writing process.

After staying overnight for more than ten days, Lou Yun copied "Five Phases Dao" in the car every day, and Lou Jiyuan said to him: "You must engrave every detail of this secret book in your mind, and you can never forget it." In the past few days, Lou Yun has not dared to slack off, and has written hundreds of times, and every stroke has the charm of the handwriting in the cheats.

In the afternoon of this day, he finally came to the city of Jinan, Lou Jiyuan sent a big car driver, and the father and son walked into the city with their luggage. Walking on the road, Lou Jiyuan deliberately paid attention to the shops on both sides of the street, and when he saw a ready-to-wear shop, he walked in, bought a decent set of clothes for each of them, and bought paper, pen, ink and other things, and then found an inn to live in. Entering the store, Lou Ji studied ink far away, and asked Lou Yun to write "Five Phases Dao" silently on paper, Lou Yun was already familiar with the entire "Five Phases Dao", and he picked up the pen and wrote it in less than half an hour. Lou Jiyuan picked it up again, it was indeed word for word, and even the font and penmanship were almost the same as the original, and he was quite relieved.
