Green mountains, thousand-year-old temples.

In this dignified and quiet hall, several monks clasped their hands together and closed their eyes and muttered.

A beautiful and handsome young talent, kneeling in front of the Buddha, his face is not happy or sad, not angry or tired.

A thin-eyed old monk plucked the prayer beads, his lips moved, and he said for a long time: "Donor, is everything dusty?"

The man clasped his hands together, closed his eyes as if he were there, and opened his thin lips lightly: "The disciple's front edge is over, and he will not enter the red dust again." ”

The old monk held the razor, took off the young Confucian crown, cut off the green silk, and the black hair slowly fell.

The young man remained unmoved, until the green silk was shaved away.

The lonely and proud eyes opened slightly, the black eyes like an abyss were empty, and the thin eyebrows were slightly upturned, complementing the corners of the eyes, and it became more and more difficult to guess him.

is originally a handsome and beautiful man, although the green silk is broken, it can't affect his handsomeness. The slender figure contrasted with the gray monk's robes, and the white jade flawless face was even more cold, and there was no smile to be seen.

If an ordinary female guest sees it, I am afraid that I will complain that my Buddha has accepted such a beautiful man, and I have lost a good husband.

The bell rings 100 orders and 8 times every morning, but it is the south, south, west, and north, the realm of desire, the realm of color, and the realm of colorlessness, and the sufferings of the three poisons, greed, hatred, and ignorance suffered in the past, present, and future, totaling 100 orders and 8 times.

There are a total of one hundred and eight troubles in life, and this bell ringing is for the sake of this suffering.

The old monk handed the sandalwood rosary in his hand to the young man, and heard and recited it in the future: "The bell is heard, the troubles are light, the wisdom is long, the Bodhi is born, from hell, out of the fire kang, willing to become a Buddha, save all sentient beings." “

The man memorized these words and took them with both hands: "May I get rid of the sea of suffering, Amitabha." ”

In the middle of the night, the night breeze blows through this large courtyard, blowing the shadows of the trees. The echo of the cloister in the house.

The Qiong hook on the horizon is not there, but the stars are dazzling. A handsome young man took a break with his sword. "This Rausch swordsmanship is also very difficult to practice. "In terms of complaints.

The swarthy young man standing on the side was naked, and the rain was falling on his body, and he didn't expect that the swordsmanship that this kid found looked very simple, but the nine styles were so difficult to practice by himself.

Daddy's palm technique is extremely strong, but he can't urge this sword technique, it seems that something is missing.

The handsome young man naturally didn't know as much as him, so he rested for a while, raised his sword and attacked again. The same move, the same starting move, the same change of move, are also blocked by the opponent.

The handsome young man opened his mouth and said, "Break, you can't do it, now you can only block it, but you can't kill me anymore." ”

The swarthy young man didn't speak, and the next sword touched.

Pushed out with one palm, blasting the handsome boy out a few feet.

He couldn't hold it anymore and fainted. Day and night, this will be the case. The two fought against each other with swordsmanship, and the swords and swords were endless.

If you talk about this "Emperor's Sword", it is a long-lost swordsmanship, which is covered with nine styles: degree, Mo, Ming, class, long, Jun, Shun, Bi, and Wen. In contrast, it is the nine qualities advocated by the sages.

"The heart can control the righteousness, the virtue should be and the Mo, according to the Quartet Ming, diligent and selfless, tireless teaching, reward and punish the king, mercy and obedience are said to be obedient, choose the good and follow the comparison, the longitude and latitude of heaven and earth. It encompasses all the human virtues advocated by Confucianism, and reproaches the king for seeking perfection like this.

The world under the politics of "nine virtues" is the ideal society that Confucianism dreams of. Those who can practice the nine virtues will ascend to the emperor's pole, so it is called "Emperor's Sword".

These two people only know the sword style, but they don't know the theory of the nine virtues.

The emperor of the Dajing Dynasty was originally born as a valve who practiced martial arts for generations, and he has always used martial arts to calm the world and pass on the country for more than ten generations.

The first Emperor Shizong Wu insisted on being sharp, took the lead, seized the land of Longyun, and killed the alien race for a hundred years and could not go south. A body of civil and martial arts, there is no shortage of beautiful words from historians throughout the ages. Since then, the successive dynasties have been recuperating and recuperating, and they do not move lightly, so the martial arts have withered.

Now the emperor was sick when he was young, his body foundation was weak, and he could no longer practice martial arts, and he practiced Confucianism more.

I'm afraid I haven't turned over this "Imperial Sword". Suddenly turned out this swordsmanship, no one can teach it, and there is no master finger to teach it, only these two people practice.

Yun Chuan recuperated for more than ten days, and finally was able to walk like a fly, except for the palm that had been bitten by the poisonous snake, there was still a faint pain.

It was a bright morning, and the old man was still sleeping on that crooked neck with a straight face.

Yun Chuan looked at him for a while and didn't open his eyes, and shouted: "Stinky old man, have you woken up, the sun is about to set." The plan of the day lies in the morning, and if you don't study today, how many days do you want to delay me?"

The old man was on the leaves, his eyes slightly open: "What do you want to learn, you boy? "I didn't say anything.

Yun Chuan saw the old man scolding himself, so he said, "You have to teach, if you don't teach me, you will leave." "The kid is so angry, are you so rude to Ruhai's sour Confucian?"

The old man's brows furrowed slightly. "The name of the family teacher is not something that you can call an old man, I am afraid that you are less than one-tenth of him. ”

This eight-year-old child has sharp teeth, and the old man who said it is angry. "Since you say you want to learn, then you learn to jump the tree first, if you can jump to this crooked neck tree in one breath. I'll teach you how to fly over mountains and forests. ”

Yunchuan Xing's eyes moved slightly, and he said: "Okay, you come down quickly, wait for me to jump up, it's not good to kick you down." ”

Yun Chuan tried to jump, and found that every time he was not more than a foot high, even if he ran and borrowed strength, it was only a foot and a half. And the nine-foot-tall crooked-necked tree looks like the edge of the sky. At that moment, he said, "No, no, this is too high, I am still too young to jump so high." ”

"Muddy boy, but a few times I know I can't do it, look at me. The old man's toes were slightly on tiptoe, and his body was like a flying hong, and he flew obliquely, swept to the tree, like a bird returning to its nest.

Yun Chuan's eyes were full of stars.

If you can't fly, you can climb up.

When Yun Chuan heard this, he hurriedly climbed the tree. Standing together in the branches.

The old man got up again and flew to the thatched roof, but instead of standing on a supporting pillar, he stood upright on the thatch. It was as if it was floating.

Seeing that it was so easy, Yun Chuan also learned to jump over and fell into a dog and ate.

The old man laughed and said, "You are much better than that sour man, he had climbed for several days to learn to climb this crooked neck tree, but he didn't dare to think that you would throw himself on the ground like this." Laughing more than looking at Yun Chuan, he flew down.

"Then I jumped three thousand times a day, and then I jumped down from the tree a thousand times.

After three years, you can go up to the branches and the roof. As for how to stand, I'll teach you again. Yun Chuan muttered: "I have studied reading and writing, but I have been able to read and write for more than two years, and I can also understand more than 100 articles." It takes three years to start practicing martial arts. ”

"Since you said you could read an article, have you ever memorized a poem?" the old man said with a smile. Yun Chuan didn't care, and said with a smile: "I learned the article when I was three years old, and I can also memorize it backwards." "I read it now. "Cover the two poles of yin and yang, divided from heaven and earth. The divine court is the sky, and the earth is too white. Born with red yang, the earth creates Xuanyin. Yang enters the purple palace, meaning to guard the sandalwood, yin line Liangqiu, qi gathers dantian. The universe is mixed, and the Tao is born at two poles. Crossing the Yang Pass, traveling to Tianfu, going out of the Shenmen Valley, gathering the aura of people, and meeting the gods of the mound. Movement leads to the passage of a hundred veins, and stillness is self-guarding of the gods. It's like this in everything. The boy read and read it three times.

The old man first heard this, but it was just an ordinary doctor's way of health preservation, and when he stayed until this last time, he remembered something. Hold it in the palm of your hand and act according to this method to know the subtlety of this method.

I don't know where this internal strength comes from, but it is very suitable for me. I don't know if this kid will memorize a few more words. He asked, "Is that much you know?"

Yun Chuan was puzzled: "This is what my father taught me when I was three years old, if it is the words of other saints, I can also recite it smoothly." But he was blocked by the old man, so he just stopped.

"From now on, you'll memorize this poem every time you jump, so that you won't be able to fly up to the roof in less than three years. ”

Yun Chuan didn't understand what he meant, and did what he said every day. The thing behind the old man shone brightly. I don't know why? The wind blows through the bamboo sea, and it becomes more and more green and beautiful.

He named Xing Yuchen, the son of Lord Xing, as the captain of the cavalry, temporarily controlled 300,000 soldiers, horses and farmers, and went straight to Yunzhou, which was thousands of miles away.

After traveling for more than 20 days, I finally saw the outline of Yunzhou City, a busy scene inside and outside the city. He was stationed outside the city and led dozens of his own soldiers into the city.

Along the way, the ruins and ruins were cleaned up, and the soldiers either unloaded their armor and did it, or repaired the houses, or maintained law and order, but there were only five or six hundred people alive in the first war, and the young and strong people who fled from all over the world gathered, and simply joined this ranks, one for survival, and the other for the future to kill back to their homeland and take revenge.

The staff trained more than 3,000 new soldiers in the open space in the city every day.

I went to the mansion in Nazhou, but there were no things, and it turned out that the former defenders of the city left all the things that could be used in the city.

Xing Yuchen saw the general and the state pastor in the state pastor's mansion, announced the edict, handed over his money, food, soldiers and horses, and sat there.

Sikong Yu is worried about the lack of money, food, soldiers and horses, and he doesn't know how to deal with the differences between the ministers and the ministers. Seeing that the Lord's grace was coming at this moment, not only did he arrive with all the needs, but he was grateful and hurriedly passed the order. Called the six generals of the long history to unify and the state pastor several county guards.

More than a dozen civil and military officers came to the house to discuss matters.

Everyone sat down in turn, and General Sikong hung out a map, which was the atlas of the topography and mountains and rivers of the land of Longyun.

"The sixteen states of Longyun in the past are all in this map. In the past, the people in various states were scarce, the big states were only tens of thousands, and the small states were less than more than 10,000 people. The enemy attacked them separately, and our dynasty suffered heavy losses. ”

The half-hundred-state pastor stroked his cheeks: "What the general said is very true, the difficulty of Longyun this time is caused by the enemy's strong men and horses and sudden attack. My generation has no martial emperor and martial arts, and the protection is not good. ”

"So these sixteen states don't want it, I will divide this thousand miles into Kyushu, every three cities are an inverted herringbone, from north to south, set up three rows of three cities, each city is more than 200 miles apart, a total of nine cities like an arrow tail shape against foreign enemies, if I become, two cities rush to help, if I commit the middle city, then the four cities can be saved, intrude the interior, it is necessary to break the nine cities, this thousand miles of land can block thousands of horses and thousands of troops. ”

Changshi stood and said: "The establishment of a new city in this way may cost people and money, and it will not be established in one day." ”

"The long history is too much, you can set up three cities first, slowly approaching, now the personnel are sufficient, if it is not divided into multiple roads, this Yunzhou City can not accommodate such a person. ”

The general looked sideways, and he didn't know if it was joy or anger.

"Whether it is nine cities or sixteen cities, if I can bless the people of Longyun, I will never give up. But it was the shepherd of the half hundred states who stood with his hands in his hands, as if waiting for the order.

The general's face was awe-inspiring: "The state pastor led 50,000 soldiers and horses and craftsmen out of the northeast for 200 miles to build a new state. The general Changshi led 50,000 soldiers and horses and craftsmen out of the northwest 200 miles away to find a site to build a new city, and the two cities were horns for each other, arching and defending Yunzhou.

Within two years, the city was built, the people were placed to produce and farm, and Xu Tu went north. The six commanders under his command each led 5,000 soldiers and horses, expelled the remnants in three ways, collected the land of Longyun, and set up a beacon tower according to 50 miles to guard the enemy's situation.

The beacon tower is under the jurisdiction of the chief, and in case of an emergency military situation, there must be no mistakes.

The rest of the people were stationed in Yunzhou, repaired the city, ran money and grain, cultivated production, restored all industries, and then went north a year later. ”

And when they arose, they were commanded, and they were to depart from the camp.

Chapter 10 Forge ahead, ten years and one day

This bamboo sea verdant land, hence the name of Bamboo Island, the island is more than 200 zhang in circumference, the bamboo sea is staggered, like emerald green jasper floating on this Lingyang Lake.

The water of this lake comes from the water of the Lingchuan River, and then flows into the Lingchuan River, about dozens of miles.

The people on both sides of the strait are endless, and what they rely on is the power of this lake to store water, so that there is no worry about drought and flood, and the people are prosperous.

Although this island is green and beautiful, there are many poisonous snakes, and it is inaccessible, and ordinary fishermen will not go ashore on weekdays.

The south bank of Lingchuan is Lingling City, the mountains around the city are undulating, although it is not high, it is the embrace of the mountains, surrounding the westernmost small city of the Southern Dynasty.

The town is still a few miles southwest of the lake.

A few miles upstream of the lake is the riverside fishing village, and Yun Chuan knows that he is probably a few miles east of his home, and if he can return home in half an hour on weekdays.

Now I can't get out of this island, so I have to concentrate on learning this method of flying here.

If you are tired, take the small bamboo branch, expand a flat ground, practice calligraphy, and write articles silently.

The old man told himself to read the article every time he jumped, and for some reason, he simply transcribed it several times a day.

I practiced flying every day, from the situation of less than two feet, to more than five feet in one jump. If you take advantage of the help and run and step on the tree, you can jump to the tree in three steps, and you don't need to use your hands.

On weekdays, the old man still eats snake meat, and when he thinks of the snake meat, he is extremely uncomfortable, but there is nothing else to eat, and this crooked-necked tree does not even have a bird's egg.

Before, when he was sick, he could still eat a meal of fish soup, but now the old man doesn't go fishing anymore, and he has been hungry for a few days.

simply ate the snake meat, but at first it was still overturned, and I was extremely disgusted.

Later, I slowly got used to it, and I accepted it. It's just that it is really not good to swallow snake gall bladder raw, every time I see the old man swallowing it, I eat two or three at a time, and I still gause.

Every time the old man called a group of snakes, he didn't know what kind of kung fu it was.

Yun Chuan originally wanted to test whether he could learn it, but what he thought was to order tigers and leopards and the like, no matter how bad it was, he could order two fish, but the old man flatly refused.

"Such a unique technique, teach you what to do. I learned how to fly, and hurry up. The old man with the five-ridge crown said viciously.

"You know that my name is Mu Yunchuan, what is your name? I don't just call you a stinky old man. Yun Chuan Xing's eyes looked at the old man slightly, waiting for the old man to speak.

The old man seemed to look to the north and said no more. Liang Jiu dialect: "I am the same sect as the sour rot." I am his brother. My father originally named me, because I hurt many wicked people, and I was afraid of retaliation, so I had no mercy when I changed my name. I've been hiding for 20 years, and now I'm back to retire. ”

"In this way, you are still a chivalrous man, what is your relationship with the old master?" Yun Chuan wore a pink blush and sat beside the old man.

"That's my brother, adhering to the family business, helping the world and saving people. But I and I are at odds with each other, and we have been fighting each other for decades. The old man's face was expressionless, as if he was telling someone else's business.

Yunchuan has known the name of Master Lian since he entered the hall.

If there are children from poor families who want to read and write, they will not take a penny, and they are famous for the great benevolent people in Lingling City.

The young man once thought that if he became an official, he would definitely take this as an example.

Thinking about it, I fell asleep.

When the old man saw Yun Chuan asleep, he put him down and put him on.

He went out of this door, holding the pearl, his mouth and heart, and he was lucky as he was, and from the right hand of the god gate Hegu gave birth to yin and yang, wrapping the pearl.

The pearl was originally turquoise, with a dark green fine vein.

Driven by this yin and yang qi, the dark green fine lines seemed to be sensitive, like a spirit snake dispatching, like a dark green snake burrowing into the old man's hands.

The old man's body trembled violently, he closed his eyes and held back his screams, silently reciting his decision.

The snake seemed to walk through the old man's body, and after a moment, it re-entered the emerald pearl.

The old man held the pearl tightly, sweating profusely, leaning against the door and gasping. After a long recovery, it seems to be much easier.

Seeing that Yunchuan was still asleep, he flew up to the branches to rest. Since then, it has been like this every day, I don't know why?

Yun Chuan still jumps and jumps every day, and he jumped on the branch in two steps, and he jumped higher and higher.

Later, you can jump on the branches of the tree in the next step of the run, and then you can jump on the spot to jump on the nine-foot-high crooked-necked tree.

The old man saw that he had learned to fly to the tree in less than a year and a half, and stroked his beard complacently: "You are much stronger than that sour Confucian."

At this time, Yunchuan's sword eyebrows and starry eyes seemed to have grown into a heroic young man. Standing on that tree, he looked like a young martial artist, trying to jump off the roof, but he was always a few feet behind.

"High is high, but not far away, you still need to practice diligently. ”

Yunchuan spent another half a year in the long jump, infinitely approaching the thatched roof.

Finally, in the early hours of a summer morning, he jumped from a tree to the thatched roof, and just as he was triumphant, he stepped through the roof and fell on the bed he slept on on weekdays. When he turned over and saw the broken roof, he quickly picked up the thatch from the bed, and wanted to find a ladder to repair the roof.

Then the old man came back from outside and saw this.

I don't know whether I was happy or angry, I snatched the thatch, flew up to the roof and repaired it.

Yun Chuan was surprised: "Why didn't you fall down, but I stepped on the air." The old man looked at him, but said nothing.

When the roof was repaired, he jumped down. "How do you memorize that article?" ”

"Then remember, don't forget. As he spoke, he held the jade bead in his hand, only took out the index finger and thumb, and clicked it on Yun Chuan's body a few times, but it was Tanzhong, the point of spiritual void.

Yun Chuan Danjue's chest ached slightly, and it seemed that his breath was stagnant, but it was clear in an instant. "Don't you want this bead? As he spoke, his fingers popped out and pierced through dozens of bamboo shadows.

Yun Chuan saw the bead flying out and ran out: "You stinky old man, don't do it, why did you lose it!" Yun Chuan ran all the way for more than ten zhang.

I saw that the bead was half-embedded in a green bamboo, and I used my fingers to buckle it, but I couldn't buckle it. Suddenly, he found a group of snakes running towards him, and the snake letter vomited slightly, as if he was about to swallow himself.

Seeing this, Yun Chuan picked up a stone and smashed it on the side of the bamboo, and it took several times to smash the bamboo body open, and the bead fell down.

Yun Chuan was busy picking it up, but the snake was already at his feet at this time.

A swarm of snakes surrounded him, and only a few feet away. Thinking of what I practiced on weekdays, I jumped up and grabbed the bamboo body, nine feet above the ground.

This bamboo-leaved green snake usually lives in a half-tree, so it naturally goes up to the tree.

There were a few around the tree, Yun Chuan knew that this place could not stay for a long time, hooked the bamboo body, kicked his feet on the bamboo body, and jumped to the bamboo body in the distance to hug it.

Yun Chuan saw that the group of snakes followed him, and he leaped over several times, jumping farther and farther.

In the end, he kicked straight with his foot continuously, and the bamboo body shook slightly, and he flew several feet like this. But it couldn't last long, and it fell.

Seeing that the snakes were still behind, he quickly spread his legs and went back to the house. When the old man saw this, he paced over: "You have just flown a few feet, do you know why you can't last long?"

Yun Chuan was shocked and thought for a long time: "Just now you asked me to memorize the article, I still remember it at the beginning, but I was proud later, and I fell down." ”

"That's right, in the future, you hold this bead and recite the mantra every day, and you will know it after a long time. Yun Chuan was ten years old at this time, six feet long, and studied weekdays. is already a sturdy teenager.

"Broken, this swordsmanship is finally not tiring. But it was the two young men who were still practicing the sword, and the handsome young man said it.

The two of them have long green silk hair, which has been accumulated since childhood, and at this time the black scarf wraps the hair. The two of them were naked, wearing black pants and soap boots, dressed as warriors.

This time, instead of holding the wooden sword, he held the bladed long sword, which was more than three feet long.

The handsome young man's hand is staggered with sword blades and fire patterns, and the pearl at the end of the handle is inlaid, which is unusual. The swarthy young man chose a simple and ordinary thing, and the end of the sword was still a green fly holder.

The two of them fought each other in this courtyard, and the swordsmanship was evenly matched, and others saw this danger, but they were too frightened to speak.

This deep palace dance pavilion platform, carved beams and painted buildings, seems to be beautiful, but it is a ruthless thing.

On weekdays, I look at this huge cage, but I can't break free, but this deep palace is ruthless, but people are affectionate.

At present, this life-fighting killing, but more than ordinary people who compliment and respect themselves, make themselves feel alive: "You said that we have been practicing for more than half a year, I don't know what situation we have reached? ”

The black-faced young man didn't say a word, and attacked the young man's dangerous place.

The handsome young man's eagle eyes glared angrily, and he countered it with his sword. Blocked the three poses. "It's not so easy to face the enemy, it's messed up, and the lives of others are up to you. ”

The handsome young man bent over to gather strength. rushed straight out, and the blade devoured the heart, which was a killing move that took your life.

Unexpectedly, he was blocked by the swarthy young man with his sword, and his long sword stabbed into the air.

The swarthy boy blocked his sword and turned, and the blade rested on his neck. "Facing the enemy, nothing more. ”

The swarthy boy said his first words in the first half of his time in the palace. "I lost," said the sword, which popped out of his lips, and the sword fell to the ground. ”

The swarthy boy put down his sword, was kicked back by the handsome boy, rolled over, and picked up the sword. "Don't you hear it, and the soldiers don't get tired of deceit? ”

The two of them faced each other again. These are all fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, and they have been trained for half a year, and they are no longer as good as they were at the beginning.

Especially this handsome young man, he is not as proud as he used to be. Since this person came, he studied hard and practiced hard, and he practiced vigorously and vigorously, unlike in the past, when he fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and only learned a showmanship. "If I can make meritorious contributions like my father in my life, and worship the generals, it will not be in vain in this life!"

The handsome young man spoke to this person what no one had to say in the deep palace. "In the future, we will find an opportunity to go out and fight a real battle, and we will know what the swordsmanship practiced in this deep palace looks like. ”

The swarthy boy didn't say much: "But there is a good opportunity, you will know it when you try it." ”

At night, the cool breeze blows through the palace and caresses the two teenagers, who seem to be ruthless, but they are affectionate.
