Chapter 9: The sky covers the earth and all things are lai, and the cranes are singing outside the clouds

Rewind to thirteen years ago.

Qiu Chujizhen, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen, had an eighteen-year appointment with the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan. The two sides went to find Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin's descendants respectively, and after teaching martial arts respectively, they competed in Yanyulou to determine the winner. Qiu Chuji is not competitive, but distressed and loyal. If Guo and Yang were left behind, wouldn't it be the disaster they brought to the two families? The blood of the two heroes of Niujia Village, Guo and Yang, was not dry, and the tragic death was vividly vivid. Every time I think about it, Rao is beard is getting white, and Qiu Zhenren, who has achieved great cultivation, is also stunned, and his heart is dripping blood. If you hadn't passed by Niujia Village by yourself...... Hi......

At this time, Qiu Zhenren had not yet found Bao Xiqiao and Yang Kang's mother and son. I heard that hundreds of women from the Great Song Dynasty, along with a few young sons, were taken captive to the city of the Five Kingdoms of Dajin. He followed all the way to the border of eastern Liao, far away from the people. Qiu Zhenren killed more than 30 golden soldiers in a row, and rescued more than 100 women and two young sons, but there was no pity for the weak, Yang Kang's mother and son. It is the eighth year of searching for his mother and son, and there is still a long way to go.

There is a large lake in front of you, rippling blue waves, and the lake water is unusually clear. However, the fashion water in midsummer was cold to the bone, and Qiu Zhenren's curiosity suddenly rose. A few miles away from the shore of the lake, there is an abrupt peak. It is said to be a mountain peak, but it is actually a whole boulder hundreds of zhang in size. A torrent river at the bottom of the peak was formed by a huge current gushing out from the bottom of the peak. It is really unheard of for such a mighty water to be formed by just a mountain spring! The nearby lakes are all freshly flowing mountain springs, and the water is bound to be cold and piercing.

The mountain spring stirs and turns, filled with a mist, the surrounding plants are blue and dripping, and the water droplets on the leaf surface are crystal clear, which is very good-looking.

A hymn:

into the scene

The water is cloudy and the peak shadow is down,

Peach Creek is a quiet path.

A spring shirt stained with blue,

The scent of flowers strikes and prevents people from returning. - Lost butterfly

Qiu Zhenren couldn't help but groan: "The flowing water is not intentional, and the white clouds are unintentional." If you don't climb high and look forward at that time, who will believe that the ocean is deep?"

Qiu Zhenren was singing about the beautiful scenery, and suddenly heard - fluttering, sounding. Following the sound of the sky, a giant eagle swooped down from the peak, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and flapping its wings high. In an instant, the real person jumped, not because the carving was huge, but because the carving was sitting firmly on his back, hunting in the wind in the green shirt - is he a martial arts master? or a person who cultivates immortals?

What Qiu Zhenren sees today is nothing in his life. Let's inquire and ask what is going on.

Fish nature near water, bird sound near mountain. If you want to know about the affairs in the mountains, you must ask the firewood collector.

Walking by the lake for a long time, Qiu Zhenren did not see the firewood gatherer, but saw a huge white crane running towards him. Cranes are sometimes dancing, sometimes eating, sometimes pacing, sometimes whirling, I have never seen anyone running like flying on land. The cranes seen by Qiu Zhenren have thin legs and long necks that are only one person tall, and this crane is much taller, and the legs are thick, and the steps are like flying. It is said that it is like flying, running fast, such a strong bird, I am afraid it will not be able to fly.

The first time I was surprised, and the next surprise struck! On the back of the white crane, there was actually a boy with a drooping hair of four or five years old.

Approaching, the boy floated down the crane, saluted Qiu Zhenren, and said, "Dao Chang'an is good, the kid is polite." ”

Looking at the boy's clothing and hairstyle, there is no doubt that he is a descendant of the Great Song Dynasty. So deep into the hinterland of Dajin, there are actually the remnants of my Great Song Dynasty. The lightness of the boy under the crane is a matter of habit, not light work. At a young age, he is humble and polite, full of energy, and has a confident attitude, and seems to have had a poetry and book education. Qiu Zhenren saw that the boy was cute, and he intended to take the school exam. The long hair twisted in his hand and asked: "The little official must be after my Great Song Dynasty, in this poor and remote place of the Dajin Kingdom, without education, how can he become a talent when he grows up?"

The boy said: "Zhilan was born in the deep forest, and does not think that no one is not beautiful; Although the boy was born in a remote place in Dajin, he did not dare to delay the etiquette of poetry and books, and wanted to return to the Song Dynasty at a convenient time in Japan to serve the country. ”

Qiu Zhenren was shocked again, four or five-year-old children actually understood etiquette and righteousness, and their writing was extraordinary. When he speaks, the corners of his eyebrows do not move, and he is very determined. Could it be related to the immortal who drove away?

Qiu Zhenren asked with a smile: "There was a big eagle and an immortal flying in the air just now, can the little official know?"

The boy took a step forward and said: "That heroic boy has been visited, he said that he has been dead for many years, and it is Nedan who causes the physical body to not be bad. At the bottom of this lake is a huge piece of black jade, which is the fall of an ancient meteor, which can allow his body to talk to the eagle. It is the eagle eagle and its brotherly affection, and it comes here every year to talk with its body. However, this year is the last time, and the Nedan has been exhausted, and the body will return to the grave soil. ”

There are really a lot of strange things here, Neidan was originally cultivated by Taoism, Qiu Zhenren himself has not yet cultivated, and that hero has actually cultivated. The meteorite black jade at the bottom of the lake can make the corpse speak, what kind of artifact is this? For a while, Qiu Zhenren fell into deep thought, and he forgot to talk to the little boy.

The boy said gloomily: "The hero said that I was congenitally deficient, and the eight veins of the Qi Sutra were out of place, and I need to learn the stupidest kung fu of Shaolin Temple to correct it, and my life will be very long if I correct it." If you don't correct it, you can only live to be eighteen years old. ”

"Oh?" Qiu Zhenren grabbed the boy's wrist and carefully tasted the veins, but the eight veins of the strange meridians were really out of place. This is a rare vein. Unexpectedly, it can be treated with Shaolin Temple's basic foreign kung fu. Then he said: "Little official, Master Zhiyu, the abbot of Songshan Shaolin Temple, and I are friends with me, if you worship me as your father-in-law." With this connection, the Shaolin Temple will settle you well and heal your body. ”

The boy was very well-behaved, and immediately bowed his head and said, "My father-in-law is above, please accept Zhang Junbao's worship." "Three rings, not a trace of moisture.

Qiu Zhenren picked up the boy Zhang Junbao and said with a smile: "I have been alone all my life, and I never imagined that I could have a righteous son." Haha, I'm happy today, let's give Gan'er a meeting gift!" said and took out a mutton fat white jade plaque from his arms, engraved with four words - Fushou Yongchang. For Zhang Junbao, who is about to go to Songshan Shaolin Temple for treatment, it is really appropriate. This jade plaque was originally a royal thing of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was obtained by chance Qiu Zhenren, and it is just used today.

"Hahaha!" Qiu Zhenren laughed and said, "Gan'er will go and heal his body, and when he grows up, he will serve my Great Song." Leave the bright moon in the five lakes, and don't worry about having nowhere to put the golden hook. ”

Zhang Junbao led Qiu Zhenren home and met his parents. Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were more than grateful, and decided to go to Songshan Shaolin Temple with Qiu Zhenren. After settling down Zhang Junbao, the whole family lived in the small town of Songshan under the mountain, and everything was mainly treated by Zhang Junbao. Zhang's father, Zhang Juren, and mother Lin are over 50 years old, and they are really old children, and they are a lone seedling on a thousand acres of land. Our Chinese nation only takes blood inheritance as the first importance. Zi said: Unfilial piety has three nos.

The Zhang family was originally a big family in Yanzhou, Shandong, and moved here decades ago to escape the scourge of war. Even if there is no treatment, when Zhang Junbao becomes an adult, he will move south to the Song Dynasty, and the leaves will return to his roots!

A few days later, several cars were on the road and heading south. Seeing the giant crane following the carriage with vigorous steps, it is quite humane. Qiu Zhenren asked Zhang Juren, who was walking on horseback, and said: "Zhang Daguan, what is the origin of this crane? Why is it so strong and running like flying?" Father Zhang smiled: "Qiu Zhenren, I said that this crane really has a lot of fate with my Zhang family. Seven years ago, when I picked it up by the lake, it was still a hatchling crane. I wanted to send it back to the reeds, but the crane followed me and didn't leave a single step. Later, I came home with me and fed nothing. I had to brave the thunderstorm to go to the lake to net fish, but I didn't expect to find two golden and slender fish on the net, and the little crane saw it next to me and immediately came up and devoured it. Never eat another fish again. No one has ever seen this fish, only in thunderstorms, it only reaches the shore, and it is rare to see it deep into the bottom of the lake. I had no choice but to fish during a thunderstorm. I also have to dry some dried fish, otherwise there will be no thunderstorm and winter, where can I find fish? Later, I found out that this fish is very delicious, and my wife also ate it with the little crane. As a result, the clumsy Jing who has been infertile for many years actually got pregnant in the second year, which is all the credit of Xiaohe, not its hint, how can my wife eat this golden thread fish?" Zhang's father paused slightly, his eyes flashed, and then said: "But the effect of this golden thread fish is probably more than this, you see that my couple is over fifty years old, but they are getting younger and younger, and they are light and healthy.

"Oh?" Qiu Zhenren was taken aback, it looked like the Zhang couple were thirty years old, and they really hadn't asked about their Nian Geng. Qiu Zhenren said: "According to what Zhang Daguan said, the golden thread fish is so miraculous, isn't it that Junbao also eats the golden thread fish, so he is as light as a swallow?"

Father Zhang smiled: "Qiu Zhenren, that's exactly the case. Moreover, the little crane has grown so strong because of the golden thread fish. He was too strong to fly, but he was much faster than a horse to run. It is inseparable from Junbao and is very good. It's like a big brother, who has been taking care of Junbao. Qiu Zhenren, please take a look. Father Zhang pointed to the white crane and said, "Qiu Zhenren, look, Junbao is sitting in the car, and the white crane is running with the side, not leaving a step." ”

Qiu Zhenren saw it, smiled dumbly, and said: "I said that Junbao's health is much different from ordinary people, and it is a few zhang away at a young age, which is not inferior to the top light martial arts master in our martial arts." ”

Father Zhang said: "Yes, it's all the effect of golden thread fish." However, since the beginning of summer this year, there has been no more netting of goldenrod. After speaking, Zhang's father sighed regretfully.

Qiu Zhenren said regretfully: "Is it a net light?"

Zhang's father said, "It shouldn't be. At the beginning of this summer, there were suddenly several large snakes in the lake, which faintly glowed with golden light all over their bodies, and had red fleshy horns on the top of their heads, walking like the wind and entering the water like dragons, which were extremely difficult to catch. After the appearance of the great snake, there was no trace of the golden snake. ”

Qiu Zhenren said secretly: The strange things in this big lake are one after another, are they all related to the meteorite meteorite black jade that Zhang Junbao said? There are two possibilities for the disappearance of the golden snake, one is that it suddenly grows up and becomes a strange snake, and the other is that it is eaten up by a strange snake. It seems that the first may be a bit bigger.

Qiu Zhenren thought for a while, but he could only give up, this is all something that he can't understand if he wants to break his head. Qiu Zhenren suddenly thought of a sentence - after all, the deep mountains hide tigers, and the sea must eventually accept a trickle.

Not only one day, when they came to the foot of Songshan Mountain, the Zhang family arranged their own houses and other items, and Qiu Zhenren took Zhang Junbao up the mountain.

Shaolin Temple monk Jing monk has seen Qiu Zhenren, after a greeting. Qiu Zhenren explained his intentions, and the monk knew that Qiu Zhenren and the abbot Master Zhiyu had a very good relationship, and he agreed. Although the abbot Master Zhiyu has escorted important Buddhist scriptures to the Shaolin Temple in Putian. ——In order to avoid the Jin State's claim, he moved through Southern Shaolin. If Master Zhiyu was here, he would never refuse Qiu Zhenren. Why bother asking, just do it.
