The breeze blows lightly, the flowing water murmurs, the mountain flowers are brilliant, the mountains are stacked and green, the birds contend, every time in this midspring season, the peerless scenery of Tianwen Mountain is desirable, but the thirteen mountains of the size are connected, plus the intricate rivers pass through, like a labyrinth, the tourists who are greedy for the scenery often come in, can not go out, gradually no one enters the most beautiful depths of the scenery, just in the periphery of some peaks to enjoy.

The river that crisscrosses between the thirteen peaks of Tianwen Mountain is called Yunxi River. The Yunxi River is not as choppy as other big rivers, although the river surface is wide and narrow, it looks the same calm, but the undercurrent is surging in the depths of the river.

It is that there are many undercurrents under the Yunxi River, and the river surface is intricately connected in the mountain stream, which is very easy to make people get lost in Tianwen Mountain, so although the scenery is beautiful, it is rarely visited.

But at this time, there is a row of bamboo rafts on the Yunxi River that is rowing to the depths of Tianwen Mountain, and there is an old man and a young man standing on the bamboo raft, the old man is Meng Bufan, who is called a ghost hand in the rivers and lakes, and the young man is his apprentice Meng Xiaofan.

Meng Bufan stood in front of the bamboo raft, looking left and right, carefully observing the surrounding environment, while Meng Xiaofan used a long bamboo pole to paddle in the water to make the bamboo raft move forward.

"Master, you can't be misremembering, are you? We've been rowing for so long, why haven't we arrived yet? Meng Xiaofan stopped the bamboo pole in his hand and asked with a slight gasp.

"How could this brain be a teacher and remember the wrong way?" Meng Bufan said without looking back.

Meng Xiaofan pursed his lips, and then muttered in a low voice: "The last time I went to the palace to steal something, didn't you remember the wrong way? ”

Although Meng Xiaofan's voice was very small, it was still heard by Meng Bufan, he turned around, raised his right hand and slapped Meng Xiaofan's head lightly, and said, "Stinky boy, now even the master dares to make fun of it." ”

"Isn't what I said wrong? You see that we have been paddling on this river for nearly an hour, turning around, and we haven't reached the place until now, isn't it a mistake?" Meng Xiaofan was very displeased when he was beaten by his master like this.

"Turning around, do you see us walking in the same place? The rivers here are so twisted and twisted that if you don't remember the way, it's easy to get lost while paddling, and it's easy to get back to where you started. I've been here many times, and I won't remember the way, so you can rest assured that we're almost there. ”

"Hey~, Master, what kind of people live here, tell the apprentice!" Meng Xiaofan looked at the beautiful scenery here, and was very interested in the master's friends who lived in this beautiful scenery but were very difficult to find.

Meng Bufan looked at the apprentice with a smile on his face, stroked his gray beard, and then said: "That's it, for the sake of the raft that your kid has been rowing for so long, I will tell you, but you have to continue to row forward." ”

When Meng Xiaofan heard this, he nodded happily again and again, and propped up the bamboo pole and paddled in the water.

"This is Tianwen Mountain, there are thirteen large and small peaks connected, each peak has an independent name, the river under our feet is called Yunxi River, you don't see the river is calm now, but there are many undercurrents below, especially a cave that we will pass through in a while, the undercurrent there is extremely powerful, and ordinary people can't row into it at all. Meng Bufan said eloquently.

"Don't talk about that, talk about the people who live here. Meng Xiaofan was obviously not interested in what Master said.

When Meng Bufan heard Meng Xiaofan say this, he raised his hand again and slapped him lightly on the head, and then said, "Do you still want to hear it?"

Meng Xiaofan hurriedly smiled and said, "I want to listen, I want to listen." ”

Meng Bufan glanced at him, and then continued: "In such an extraordinary place, the people who live in it are naturally extraordinary, and now in the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid no one is his opponent." ”

"If he's so powerful, why is he living here?"

"This is a long story, he was originally studying art here, and when he lost the martial arts competition with his senior brother, he vowed not to leave here again. ”

"Then Master, how did you know him?"

"Do you know Tianyun Villa?"

"Of course I know, the number one martial arts family in the rivers and lakes today, the owner Lu Guiyuan is even more strong in martial arts, but what does this have to do with Master, you know the master here?"

"That was more than 20 years ago, at that time, the power of Tianyun Villa was far less than today, and the status of the rivers and lakes was not as high as it is now, and the owner of the village at that time was Lu Guiyuan's father, Lu Jinshan. It is rumored that Lu Jinshan got the long-lost sword in the rivers and lakes, although the master was in his thirties at the time, but his curiosity was very heavy, so he wanted to take a look at this sword, but when he was about to succeed, he was found by Lu Jinshan, the master's martial arts were far inferior to him, and he was hit by a palm without many moves, and there was no possibility of escaping under serious injuries. ”

"Why did he save you?"

"He is Lu Jinshan's junior brother, the sword is their master's, although the two are the same brother, but the age difference is more than ten years old, the temperament is completely different, although Lu Jinshan is talented and intelligent, but the utilitarianism is very strong, when he is about to leave the school, he was expelled from the division because he went out of the mountain to participate in the disputes in the rivers and lakes without permission, after his master passed away, he came to Tianwen Mountain to mourn, but he didn't want to take the opportunity to steal the sword, after Ding Yuanshan found out, he went to Tianyun Villa to chase him, just met Lu Jinshan to take my life, and he was saved. ”

"Later, did their senior brothers compete in martial arts, and then Ding Yuanshan lost, so he returned here and didn't go out again?" Meng Xiaofan asked.

Meng Bufan listened to the apprentice's question, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and boasted: "You kid is quite smart. ”

was praised by the master, and Meng Xiaofan was very proud.

Looking at the proud appearance of the apprentice, Meng Bufan continued: "In fact, the martial arts cultivation of the two is comparable, but Ding Yuanshan is benevolent by nature, and he thinks of Lu Jinshan and the love of his fellow brothers, it is his benevolence that Lu Jinshan won by luck, although Lu Jinshan won, he still returned the sword to Ding Yuanshan, but there is a condition, that is, let Ding Yuanshan return to Tianwen Mountain with the sword and make a poisonous oath never to go out of the mountain again." ”

Lu Jinshan was afraid that he would not be able to defeat his junior brother, so he took this opportunity to let his junior brother no longer go out of the sky to ask the mountain, so that in the future, no matter how strong his junior brother's martial arts are, no matter how powerful the sword is, he can't threaten him. Meng Xiaofan said.

"Exactly," Meng Bufan was very happy about the apprentice's performance at this time, "At that time, Lu Jinshan had gradually revealed his ambition to become the No. 1 mountain villa in the rivers and lakes, and there were few opponents in the rivers and lakes, but what he was most worried about was his junior brother, he knew that the junior brother who got the true inheritance of the master, his martial arts cultivation would definitely be higher than him, and he was afraid that one day his junior brother would stop his ambition, so he took the opportunity to set a trap." Ding Yuanshan just wanted to return his master's sword, and the others didn't think much about it, so he agreed, and then left Tianyun Villa with the powerless sword, and when he left, he asked to take me away, but Lu Jinshan did not object. ”

"And then you became friends?"

"Yes, leaving Tianyun Villa, Ding Yuanshan first treated my injuries, and then we walked all the way to Tianwen Mountain, he was rarely involved in the rivers and lakes, and he felt very speculative when he met as a teacher, although he later knew my business, but he didn't say anything, just persuaded me to do more chivalrous deeds, I was grateful for his life-saving grace, and admired his benevolence, so I agreed, and since then I have only stolen those ill-gotten gains to help the suffering. ”

"Why is Master here today?"

Since he returned to Tianwen Mountain, he really never left, often with his better friends to visit, as a teacher is also a leisure time to come here to live, and talk to him about some interesting things in the rivers and lakes, has relieved his boredom in the mountains. ”

"He can really endure loneliness, if Master, I'm afraid you'll have to hold back something. Meng Xiaofan smiled evilly.

When Meng Bufan heard this, he raised his hand to beat him again, but this time he avoided him, and Meng Bufan did not delve into it, but continued: "Not everyone likes to be lively, Ding Yuanshan returned to Tianwen Mountain and became close to his junior sister, the two of them live in this isolated and beautiful Tianwen Mountain, and live a fairy-like life, which is also very enviable." ”

"Are they the only ones here?"

"They had a daughter, and they had an apprentice, and he was an apprentice...... Here it is. Meng Bufan excitedly pointed to a big tree on the side of the mountain and said.
