Chapter 4 Mu Duan's Two Families Tie the Knot (1)

Yunnan has a long history and culture, and beautiful natural scenery. The nineteen peaks of Diancang Mountain are majestic and majestic, forming a strong contrast with the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake. The majestic and magnificent Cangshan Mountain lies across the territory of Dali, the top of the mountain is covered with snow, and the silver makeup is wrapped, which is called "Cangshan Snow".

Chen Zhiqing sighed: "It's so beautiful, I've never seen such a beautiful scenery." Chen Zhixiang said: "Yes, it seems that Haining is really too small, I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful scenery in Yunnan." ”

The mountain is covered with snow all year round, and it is crystal white in the sun, which is magnificent. Above the snow line, there are still piles of silver and jade. The snow on Malone Peak is even more perennial, and in the middle of summer, the mountainside is verdant and dripping, and the peak is still carrying snow. The cloudscape of Cangshan is ever-changing. Strange peaks and different stones, forest springs and waterfalls, majestic and beautiful, reckless and deep.

Ren Bujian pointed to the front and said, "It's not far away to reach the Diancang Sect, and for me it's home." The two sisters asked, "Are you home?" Ren Bujian said: "Yes, my Master Liu is from the Cang Sect, then I am also from the Cang Sect, so I can't go home when I get to the Cang Sect." ”

At this time, dozens of people ran out in front, all dressed in purple clothes. One of them asked in a loud voice, "Who's coming, report your name?" "Just as these men drew their swords and greeted them. Ren Bujian smiled: "Hey, so many people came at once, should they all be from the Cang faction." Okay, good, let's have fun. With that, Ren unruly pulled out his sword and said, "Everyone be careful. Seeing Ren Unruly stabbing with a sword, those people saw Ren Unruly's sword stabbing coming, and hurriedly set up a formation.

Ren Bujian smiled: "Everyone, let's meet for the first time and play twice." After that, I saw Ren Unruly Sword Blade turn. Seeing the simplicity of Ren's uninhibited swordsmanship moves, the people of the Diancang faction wondered in their hearts. The disciples in the front row resisted with their swords. The disciples in the back row came with swords. Chen Zhiqing said: "Be careful. "As soon as Ren Buru's moves changed, he saw that this swordsmanship was vigorous and powerful, and the atmosphere was magnanimous. The disciples of the Diancang Sect recognized the swordsmanship of their own sect and knew that they were from the same sect, so they took back their swords one after another.

The leader arched his hand and asked, "This junior brother, dare to ask whose disciple?" Ren Bujian said: "Family teacher Liu Jingzhi." "When everyone heard that it was an apprentice of the Jingzi generation, then this person should be from the Yunzi generation, but looking at Ren Buji's young age, where does it seem to be the same generation as the head of the family. The leader said, "You are so young, you claim to be a disciple of your uncle and ancestor, don't speak wildly. ”

At this time, someone said, "Stand down, and don't be rude." Everyone turned around and saw that the man who spoke hurriedly flashed to the side and saluted and said, "Uncle Master." Ren Buru looked at this person, this person was in his fifties, not tall, wearing a purple wide robe, brown and black skin, small eyes, and beard. The man was followed by two teenagers.

The elder first arched his hand and said, "Dian Cang, the head of Liu Yunling." Ren Bujian heard that it was the head of the house who came, and he also saluted and said: "I have seen the head of the senior brother, I am Ren Buji, a disciple of Liu Jingzhi." After hearing this, Liu Yunling asked: "You are a disciple of Uncle Jingzhi, and you don't look like you are of this generation?" Ren Bujian took out Liu Jingzhi's letter and said, "This is a letter from the family teacher to the master." Liu Yunling took the letter and said: "Sure enough, he is a disciple of Uncle Jingzhi, and the senior brother came from afar, and the senior brother has lost his welcome." After that, he turned to the others and said, "You haven't seen Uncle Ren yet." After everyone heard this, it turned out that this young man was really Liu Jingzhi's disciple, and hurriedly said, "I've seen Uncle Shi." Ren Bujian had never been worshiped by so many people, and hurriedly said: "Uh, this, you don't have to be polite, you don't have to be polite." Chen Zhixiang smiled behind her back: "Hey, I didn't expect you to be still an uncle." Chen Zhiqing said with a smile: "We have to call uncle, here is uncle again, you are an elder everywhere you go." ”

Liu Yunling turned around and pointed to the two teenagers behind him and said, "These are my two youngest disciples, the one on the left is called Liu Zhongwen, and the one on the right is called Liu Zhongdi." The two teenagers said, "I've seen Uncle Shi." Ren Bujian looked at the two teenagers, who were about fifteen or sixteen years old. This Liu Zhongwen is of medium stature, with a round face and big eyes. Liu Zhongdi is short and chubby, with a pair of small eyes, thick lips, and a very cute appearance. The two saluted Ren and said, "I've seen Uncle Shi." Ren Buru said: "No need to be polite. ”

Ren Buru turned around and said, "These two are my good friends Miss Chen Zhixiang and Miss Chen Zhiqing. The two sisters said, "I've seen Master Liu." Liu Yunling nodded and said: "Looking at the knowledgeable gifts, it must be everyone's ladies." The two sisters said, "Thank you for the compliment." Liu Yunling said to Ren Buji: "Senior brother, please come inside, let's go in and talk." Ren Bujian said: "Senior brother in charge, please." ”

After everyone entered the room and sat down, Ren Bujian said, "Senior brother in charge, I came this time because my master has something to ask me to find you." Liu Yunling said: "It's an anti-Qing thing." Ren Bujian said: "Exactly." Liu Yunling said with a smile: "Uncle Jingzhi is still fighting for the Qing Dynasty at this age." Ren Bujian said: "Senior brother in charge, this time my master asked me to come to you to find someone in Yunnan, his name is Mu Laizhang." Liu Yunling said: "It turned out to be the grandson of Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, and the friendship between the Mu family and my Diancang faction has always been not shallow. This person is in Yunnan now, but I don't know where he is now. Ren Bujian asked: "Why is this?" Liu Yunling said: "Do you know, Mu Laizhang's grandfather Mu Tianbo once helped the Southern Ming Emperor fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and later died on the battlefield, the descendants of the Mu family will be incognito, and Mu Laizhang may be in Kunming now." ”

Liu Yunling said: "Don't be in a hurry, you can stay with me for a few days, and it's not too late to have a good time." Ren Bujian smiled when he heard this: "Okay, it's exactly what I want." Liu looked back at the Chen sisters and said, "Dian Canghanshe, I have to temporarily wronged the two girls." The Chen sisters said: "It's okay, thank you for your enthusiasm." ”

Liu Yunling looked back at his two little apprentices and said: "These apprentices of mine have all asked me to send out to contact various sects and various anti-Qing gangs in the rivers and lakes, only the two little apprentices of Zhongwen Zhongdi are still around, and the martial arts of the two of them are also taught by their senior brothers." I've had a lot of affairs in the faction lately, and I don't have time to take care of the two of them, so you just happened to be here, so why don't you guide them for a while. Ren Bujian smiled: "I'll forget it, I'll mistake people again these two times." Liu Yunling said: "I believe that Uncle Jingzhi's high apprentice will not be bad." Ren Bujian smiled: "Then I might as well be respectful." Liu Yunling turned to the two little apprentices and said, "You two have to learn martial arts from Uncle Ren these days and listen to Uncle Ren's teachings." The two little apprentices agreed. Liu Yunling said to the people below, "Go and prepare a meal for Senior Brother Ren and the Chen family sisters." The Chen sisters said: "There is Lao Liu in charge." Ren Bujian smiled: "Thank you, senior brother, I've been hungry for a long time." Liu Yunling said with a smile: "Don't be polite, just stay with me with peace of mind." ”

Ren Bujian and the Chen sisters lived in Diancang for more than a year unknowingly.

One morning, Ren Bujian had just walked out of the door, Liu Zhongwen and Liu Zhongdi ran over and said, "Uncle Shi, can you teach us swordsmanship?" Ren Bujian looked at the two teachers and nephews and smiled: "You two are really interesting, you two came to me early in the morning to learn swordsmanship." Liu Zhongwen said: "I heard that the master said that the uncle's martial arts are good, he once followed the ancestor of Jingzhi to assassinate Kangxi, and once fought against Wugong Mountain, which is really amazing." So we want to practice martial arts and learn swordsmanship with our uncle. Ren Bujian smiled: "Okay." ”

Ren Bujian took the sword and said: "Our Diancang faction is famous for its light skills and swordsmanship, light skills and light agility, and we take the route of light, soft, fast and changeable. After that, Ren Unruly used the "Dragon Body Method" of the Diancang School, and his body floated around with his shape. Liu Zhongwen said: "Uncle Shi is so light. Ren Bujian said: "The sword technique of the Diancang faction hides its changes, and it is known for being weird and changeable. The two brothers saw Ren unruly pull out the sword again, the sword light flashed, and after a few moves, the moves were simple, vigorous and powerful, and the momentum was magnanimous.

Liu Zhongwen said: "Uncle Shi is really good at swordsmanship, good light skills, if the two of us have half of Uncle Shi, then we will be content." Liu Zhongdi said: "Uncle Shi's swordsmanship is really much more powerful than ours." ”

Ren Bujian turned around and asked, "Have you ever learned this set of Huifeng Dance Willow Sword Technique that I practiced just now?" Liu Zhongdi said: "I have learned a little bit." Ren Bujian said: "The Huifeng Dancing Willow Sword Technique can be used to do swordsmanship, and it can also be named light skills, if you want to practice the Huifeng Dancing Willow Sword well, you must practice the light skills well." Liu Zhongwen said: "Uncle Shi is really amazing, I admire Uncle Shi, I really want to learn all the skills of Uncle Shi." Ren Buji smiled: "You can't rush to practice. ”

Liu Zhongdi asked, "How should I practice this set of swordsmanship?" Ren Bujian said: "Don't grasp the sword too hard, make it flexible, but make the moves crisp and powerful." Liu Zhongwen said: "We have also practiced this set of swordsmanship with other senior brothers, but we have always practiced it poorly. Ren Bujian said: "That's because your light skills are still a little short, and when I reach my uncle, I will be invincible." After that, Ren Buru smiled.

Liu Zhongdi asked: "How should I practice the light exercises?" Ren Bujian said: "The light skills should rise like a flying swallow sweeping the air, fall like a dragonfly touching the water, and the tiles will not make a sound, and the landing will be silent." If you want to talk about light work, the Diancang faction or the dragon body method is the most. To practice light exercises, the most important thing is to tie the lower coil firmly and breathe out. ”

At this time, Liu Yunling walked over, and the two apprentices saluted the master respectfully, and Ren Bujian said, "I've seen the senior brother in charge." Liu Yunling said: "You're welcome, by the way, I have something important to do with you this time." Ren Bujian asked, "What's the matter?" Liu Yunling said: "Your master brought a letter and asked you to find Mu Laizhang as soon as possible, so that you can carry out the next step of the anti-Qing plan." ”

Ren Bujian said: "Alas, my masters think about opposing the Qing Dynasty every day, and let me run east and west every day." Liu Yunling said: "Senior Brother Ren, you can't say that about your master, several of them are so old and still ambitious. The old man is in the bush, with a thousand miles of ambition, and the martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong. You have to learn from your master. You haven't experienced the Manchu Qing Dynasty, you don't know the three massacres of Jiading in Yangzhou on the 10th, we Han people are now living under the knees of the Manchus, if you don't think about the Qing Dynasty, when will you have the day. You must know that you are born in sorrow and die in peace. ”

Ren Bujian actually sighed after hearing this: "When I met Wang Qianyuan and them in Wugong Mountain, they said the same thing. After listening to their generous statements, I also feel that the anti-Qing is reasonable, and is it really so important for us to oppose the Qing Dynasty. Liu Yunling said: "Senior brother, you haven't experienced the time when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, you don't know the scene back then, and you don't realize the significance of the nation now. You may not understand these truths yet, but I believe that one day you will understand, and at that time, it will be time for you to fight on the battlefield for the anti-Qing plan. Ren Buru looked at Liu Yunling as if he didn't understand.

Liu Yunling said: "Okay, junior brother, you have to do what you have to do." Go and find Mu Laizhang, only he can find out the whereabouts of the prince, and only by finding the prince can we have a leader who is anti-Qing and can we complete the anti-Qing and restoration of sight. Ren Bujian asked: "Prince, is it Yinren?" Liu Yunling said: "It's not Yinren, yes, alas, I won't be clear to you for a while, and when you find Mu Laizhang, he will make it clear to you." Ren Bujian said: "But we don't know where Mu Laizhang is, it's been a year." Liu Yunling said with a smile: "Hard work pays off, this year I have been sending people to inquire secretly, and I can be regarded as inquiring about Mu Laizhang's whereabouts." ”

Ren Bujian said: "Then without further ado, I'll go find Mu Laizhang." Liu Yunling said: "Senior brother and slow, you don't know his appearance, how to find him." Besides, even if you find Mu Laizhang, how can he believe you. Ren Bujian thought about it and asked, "What should I do then?" Liu Yunling took out a painting and said: "This is the portrait of Mu Laizhang, you look for him according to this person's appearance." Ren Buru said: "Finding a person among thousands of people is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and besides, there are not no people who are similar to the person in the painting, so how can I find it." ”

Liu Yunling said: "Senior brother, don't you know, Mu Laizhang is now under the pseudonym Zhang Lai, as long as you find a person named Zhang Lai who is similar to the painting, it is almost Mu Laizhang, and you will talk to him in code." Ren Bujian asked, "What code words?" Liu Yunling said: "You ask his five elements, if he is Mu Laizhang, he will tell you that the five elements lack gold, fire, and earth." Ren Bujian asked, "What do you mean?" Liu Yunling said: "In addition to metal, fire, and earth, aren't there only water and wood left in the five elements, and these two words together are not the word 'Mu'." Ren Bujian said: "Yes, yes." Liu Yunling said: "He will ask you about your five elements, and you will also say that your five elements lack gold, fire, and earth." Ren Buru said: "Then there is water and wood left, which is the meaning of 'Diancang'." Liu Yunling nodded.

Ren Buru got up and said, "Without further ado, I'll go find Mu Laizhang." Liu Yunling said: "Then the junior brother should be careful all the way. ”

Ren Buru said goodbye to Liu Yunling, Chen Zhixiang came over and asked, "Where are we going?" Ren Buru said: "Go to Kunming, I want to find someone." Chen Zhiqing asked, "Who?" Ren Bujian said, "You'll know when you go." ”

When Ren Bujian and the Chen sisters arrived in Kunming, it was already dark.

Ren Bujian took out the painting and looked at it, frowning. Chen Zhixiang asked, "What's wrong with you, who is the person on this painting?" Ren Bujian said: "This person's name is Mu Laizhang, and he is the grandson of the Duke of Qianguo." Chen Zhiqing said: "Mu Tianbo's grandson, he is the descendant of Wang Muying of Yunnan in the previous dynasty. Ren Bujian said: "Yes, this Kunming is so big, where can I find him." Chen Zhixiang said: "Don't worry, we will definitely find it." Ren Buru said: "Go to the front and have a cup of tea to rest." ”

The three of them sat down at the tea stall and asked for three cups of tea, and across the table sat a young man. Ren Bujian pressed the sword on the table and continued to drink tea, the man looked at the sword and said, "Good sword." Ren Bujian listened and asked, "How do you know that this is a good sword, do you know swordsmanship?" The man said, "I know a little bit about it." The man picked up a chopstick and said, "I don't have a sword, if I have a sword in my heart, everything is a sword, if my heart has no sword, all I have in my hand is a piece of scrap iron." Ren Buru looked at this person, this person's thick eyebrows were shining, and the plump lips under his nose were slightly raised. Ren Buru also picked up a chopstick, the chopsticks in the man's hand stabbed at Ren Buru, the chopsticks in Ren Buru's hand were blocked horizontally, the man took the chopsticks around Ren Buru's chopsticks and turned down, Ren Buru's chopsticks picked up, and the man pressed down. Just listen to the "pop" twice, and the two chopsticks break at the same time.
