But it was said that when Yun Chuan arrived in the inner hall, he saw the old man sitting in the hall, and said with his hand: "The master called me, can you send it?" If there is no send, Yun Chuan does not dare to disturb him, so he has come to ask for his resignation. ”

The young man looked at the old man with a determined expression.

The old man looked at Yunchuan like this, as if he had expected it earlier, and his eyes moved slightly: "A friend of mine in the past, in Jianchuan City, more than five hundred miles east of Lingling City, the old man was old and weak, and he couldn't visit in person. I have written a letter for you to bring with me. ”

When Yun Chuan heard this, he thought of it so far away, and was about to excuse himself, but he heard the old man's words: "Jianchuan is an important county in the Southern Dynasty, and the news of Er's parents who may be able to be explored is unknown." ”

When he was young, he knew that this Jianchuan City was an important place in the Southern Dynasty, because of the confluence of the three rivers, after this Jianchuan City, the river went all the way, and the boats could go directly to the capital of the Southern Dynasty thousands of miles away by waterway in a few days.

The river is open and there is no undercurrent in the water, which is a good way to sail. It is not as good as the Lingchuan River and the Jinyu River, the water is turbulent and there are many reefs, and only small boats are available.

Therefore, the merchant ships transported goods, and they all disembarked at Jianchuan City. Or take a big ship directly down to the capital, or sell it on the spot, and then pull some items back and sell them again. It is rich in this Jianchuan City. Therefore, the Southern Dynasties deliberately set up a government-run commercial port here to serve as a ship trade on the river.

The river converges into one, straight and wide like a sword. Therefore, this city is called Jianchuan City, and the people who have been to Lingling City have praised the prosperity and wealth of that place, just like heaven and earth.

Because of its turnover supply to the Southern Dynasty, it was an important county of the Southern Dynasty, so there were 100,000 soldiers and horses by waterway. The Southern Dynasty set up a capital to guard this place and guard the left side of the imperial court.

What the old man said later was what really touched the heart of the young man. The northern land is far away, and he does not understand the official dialect of the northern land, and can only speak the southern dialect.

If you talk about looking for your father and mother, you will naturally look for it in this southern country first. Fragmentary memories of my childhood, I remember that my house was extremely wide, and it seemed that it would take a long time for me to run from one end to the other. Therefore, it must be a rich and prosperous place, so there is such a big house, like a fairyland carved beams and painted buildings.

The young man ate for a few days, and knew that it was not easy for the master to refuse, so he remembered something: "Yunchuan has nothing else, even if it is entangled, it is okay if it is close." It's just 500 miles away, and if you walk, it may take some time. ”

The old man stroked his long hair and said, "I know that I have ten taels of silver tattooed and five taels for you to eat and wear on the road, which is enough to send the letter." If you want to go back, you can go back to Lingchuan, or you can stay in Jianchuan to find your parents. ”

As he spoke, Lian Wan was wearing a pair of soap boots with two ingots of silver on them. "Erna's clothes are too shabby, and it may be inconvenient to go out. After changing into this military uniform, it is also easy to see people. ”

Yunchuan has lived on the island for a long time, and does not love things outside his body, and today he heard the old man say, his face was red and his ears were hot, and he accepted it.

Since he went back to the house, he changed into this garment, and came out of this hall to stand still. I saw a young martial artist, standing upright, with shining star eyes, and his whole body was vigorous and powerful. The sword eyebrows are flared, and the nose is like a knife. What a handsome look.

The old man looked very much like the person he first met forty years ago, but not like the man's square face, but more like the woman.

Black-footed soap boots, walking like a tiger and wolf. The boy who is nearly eight feet old has not yet been crowned, and he is so handsome. It's just that this face is blushing slightly, and it's still a doll in the end.

The old man looked at him in a daze, and the young man was shrouded in clouds and mist, so he had to ask, "How is the master, is there anything wrong with it?" ”

"This garment fits perfectly, except that it is missing the sword, and it is not like that. ”

The master took out a sword from his own back case, the scabbard was snow-white, like it was made of white jade, and walked over, tied the sword to the young man's waist, and let him hold the head of the sword and stand still. "That's pretty much it. ”

The young man pulled out the sword in his right hand, and a dragon chant pierced the silent sky, and saw that the translucent sword was made with thin leaves and dark lines, and flicked it with his fingers, and the echo was pleasant.

The young man held the sword in both hands, leaned over and whispered: "This sword is extremely valuable, I can't accept this thing, and I have never learned the sword style, I am afraid that the master will fall in love by mistake." Please also ask the Master to take it back. ”

"The name of this sword is Jade Willow, I found it in the past, and I want to entrust it to my best friend. You brought it to me, and it made my wish come true. When the young man heard him say this, he relieved himself and put his sword into his sheath.

The master transferred the letter to a thin bamboo tube, sealed it with yellow wax, and handed it to the young man: "This letter must be sent to the commander of the Xiliu Battalion of the Commander of the Army of Jianchuan City, and it is better to be cautious." ”

Seeing the master's trust, the young man arched his hand and said, "I will live up to the trust." "I quit this cheap house at the moment, and it was the first moment.

The young man saw that the middle-aged beggar was still sitting quietly as usual, and it seemed to be much dirtier than yesterday. But the body shape is generally upright, different from the crowd.

Now that I have a coil, it is naturally appropriate to hire a boat to take the waterway. First, the waterway is convenient, although there are many reefs and rapids, but their water nature is excellent, not afraid of the current, and secondly, Lu Lu is rugged and difficult to travel, and the mountains and forests are flying away, and the place of a few days is not a hundred miles but tired enough.

The young man thought about it, and went out of the north gate of the city to the riverside wharf.

At this time, it was summer sky, and the ships of all sizes had gone out early, and it was obvious that he had come at the wrong time. I'm thinking about coming in the evening and making an appointment with a boat that will leave tomorrow. I saw a passenger ship coming from upstream, and it didn't seem to plan to dock. The young man took a few steps back, grasped the head of the sword, used his toes to exert force, and his legs performed light skills, swept over the river surface of more than ten zhang, stepped on the side of the boat, and ran a few steps to settle down.

When the man in charge of the boat saw the young man flying, he couldn't help but say, "Okay." The young man gave up his hand and said, "Where are the boatmen going?" I want to go to Jianchuan City, can I take it." The man looked ahead, looked at the bow of the ship and said, "The Sprinkle family is going to Jianchuan City, and the ship fare is a lot of Sprinkle family." ”

"It's so good, stay on the shore, and the ship will pay you a lot of money. ”

The young man found a place on the side of the boat, sat down for the time being, closed his eyes and recuperated, and recuperated on the week. The hull of the boat undulated on the river, and when it came out of the dock, the boatman called the little guy to spread the sail net, and the river went straight down with the summer wind.

The river is turbulent, the drop is large, and the boat is bumpy. The boy naturally sat like a mountain, his eyes slightly closed. It's just that the people in the cabin are not so comfortable, and they are staggering. One person vomited even more, only vomiting the bitter water in his stomach out of the window of the boat, and he almost fell out of the river.

When the others saw him like this, Gu Du sat far away, not daring to approach. The man was dressed in a gray Confucian robe, with only a strip of green cloth tied around his head, which was a shabby scholar.

About half an hour later, when he reached the Jiang level, the scholar finally stopped throwing up. It's a bit embarrassing. When he found the bow of the ship, he saw a small wooden barrel in the bow of the ship, and used it to beat half a bucket of water.

The scholar scooped up his hand and washed his face, then put a palm in his mouth and rinsed his mouth. Pour the rest of the water into the river. Muttered to himself, "I take it, I return it." Just as he was about to turn back, the boat was bumpy, and the scholar fell straight down, screaming in fright. I closed my eyes and held my breath, but I felt that my body was stagnant, as if I had been dropped in the air.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the river was green, flowing half a foot in front of my eyes. The man behind him pulled him up with all his might, like a marionette.

The scholar stood still, only to know that this young chivalrous man had saved himself, and bent over and said: "In Xia Gongsun Wenfeng, I will be helped by Shaoxia, otherwise I will inevitably fall into the water and my life will be in danger." ”

Seeing him treat him like this, Yun Chuan also replied with a salute and said, "It's a trivial matter, not enough to worry about." After finishing speaking, he still sat down, trying to close his eyes and recuperate. The weak scholar ran to the front and knelt down, "Young man is virtuous, there is no way to repay him, he is worshiped by Xiaosheng, if he is driven in the future, he will definitely serve." ”

The man actually came to kneel three times and bow nine times. Yun Chuan saw that he was very pedantic, and it was not easy to stop him. also knelt, and replied to him three kneels and nine knocks.

The scholar saw him like this: "Don't torture me." As he spoke, he kowtowed and didn't get up, Yun Chuan was made to cry and laugh by him, and he didn't dare to get up to help him.

Instead, the boatman smiled and joked: "Could it be that the two of you are going to get married!"

Yun Chuan jumped up suddenly, holding the scholar's arm and holding it up: "Hurry up, if he wants to worship in the future, he will worship your saint." I don't deserve such a big gift. ”

The scholar also wanted to say: "A saint has the words of a saint, and a young man has the actions of a saint." That's enough. Yun Chuan didn't want to pay attention to him: "If you make any more noise, I will let you drink the river water." ”

The scholar didn't say anything, and made room to sit with Yun Chuan, and the two of them leaned against the wooden planks of the cabin.

The scholar wanted to speak several times, but saw that Yun Chuan seemed to be asleep, but did not speak. After noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, but fortunately the water was fast and the wind was fast, but it was not too hot. The cliffs on both sides of the river are about hundreds of feet high. The pines and cypresses of the cliff mountain grow, and they are green, but the sound of this ape is everywhere, and it is very frightening. The ape watched the boat pass by, and howled there, as if to show force.

There may have been panicked passengers, but the few people on the boat were not surprised at all. I only listened to the man at the helm say, "This place is called the White Ape Stream." Hence the white cheeks on the ape's face. ”

Yun Chuan was attracted by the sound of the ape, and opened his eyes to the white ape hanging on the cliff. The scholar next to him saw him wake up, and hurriedly asked, "Fang was negligent for a while, and he didn't ask for advice from the Engong Daming?"

Yun Chuan looked at the ape very interestingly, didn't want to pay attention to him, and just said: "In Xiamu Yunchuan, don't mention the words of Engong again." ”

The man saw Yun Chuan looking at the white ape, and said: "The name of Engong must be taken from the meaning of 'algae tent over the star waves, jade ornaments across Yunchuan'. Speaking of which, Yun Chuan didn't know why A-Niang gave himself this name, and saw this scholar talking. Suddenly realizing that his knowledge was shallow, he looked back at the man, and saw that he was shaking his head there, reciting these two lines of poetry like words.

"Presumably, Engong is either rich or expensive, and other idlers will not use this as a name. This algae tent and jade ornament are talking about the things of the fairy boat, but this star wave and Yunchuan refer to the Milky Way. Such a gorgeous and gorgeous scene is not as ordinary people think. ”

Yun Chuan couldn't help but be in awe, this weak scholar, thin and unbearable, his clothes were also tattered, explaining this poem, his eyes seemed to be emitting fine light, not only talking about the Tao, but also having charm, like a Confucian master.
