Episode 094 Get to the Origin

After this twist and turn on the mountain path, Hua Roushou and Yan Dart Head walked into the market from the path, and Guansong and others followed all the way, and those people also turned a blind eye to Guansong. There was nothing unusual along the way, but there were all kinds of stalls selling umbrellas in the market here. Everywhere the dart team went, it was nothing more than oil-paper umbrellas, embroidered umbrellas, all kinds of exquisite works, and extremely practical. It's noon, the sun is not very violent, the sky is clear, there is no wind and rain, the umbrella is durable, there is a spare thing at home, there are many umbrella shops here, the craftsman shopkeeper is in Hua Roushou and others when they step into the market, they have stood at the door, the stall is far away to see Hua Roushou and others escorted by the dart, a lady who went home to save relatives.

Guan Song, Du Juan and the others quietly followed, only to see that everyone's eyes were not on this woman, but on the azure umbrella on the woman.

It can be seen that everyone knows what the bodyguard is, and the old man with the ambush in the mountain road is not one or more people who know, I am afraid that above this market, the people in this lotus leaf town are also well known, but they don't say it clearly. Suddenly, Hua Rou's palm suddenly raised an alarm bell. Yes, this reincarnation umbrella is like the sunrise on the ocean, illuminating the depth and color of the water. In a short time, this umbrella will appear, and it will be like a hurricane, blowing through the grass, behind the delicate things, and the difference between the height of the soil slope will also be clear. Sure enough, in the bazaar of this umbrella, when I first entered the shops on both sides, I only saw some ordinary umbrellas, and the more I went to the back, the colors of the umbrellas became more and more gorgeous, and the styles and materials also changed. Or bamboo and wood, cloth, oil and paper. The shape is square and round, it can also be common, the side embroidery is mentioned, the tassel is hung with beads, the so-called exquisite, simple and generous, there is also a display. It's just that those people are all standing and watching, and they don't have any words or actions. The expression is cold, there is no envy, and it is quite indifferent, which makes people puzzled.

This journey may not be long, but the mood is tense and spreading.

It was easy to get out of this market street, and then turn west, and after a distance of more than 2 miles, there was a mansion located there on the thin side street of Lotus Leaf Town. This mansion is all mahogany carvings, with flying eaves and corners, standing majestically, or with eaves tiles, and the color is almost russet. Simple and almost majestic, Hua Rou didn't see the name of the mansion, but said to herself in her heart: "It's here, there should be nothing wrong." ”

He listened, and Fang Zheng had a resolute and relieved expression on his face. Yan Dart knew what was going on in his heart. There was an ambush in this grass and trees, and I thought that there must be an informant, but after the news leaked, I am afraid that there will be no peace on this road. Who would have thought, so soon, this mansion is close in front of me, and I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, but the old man who suddenly appeared, after a few words, disappeared, I am afraid that he does not know where the enemy is, or after the delivery of the reincarnation umbrella, I am afraid that there will be many twists and turns.

There is no gate post in this mansion, only a side door is opened, the door is small and square, and only one person can pass through. In front of the door, there is a boxy corner pavilion. The pavilion is shaped like an umbrella, and the horizontal and vertical beams inside are like a large umbrella, but there are four wooden pillars with red paint.

"Darthead, I'll answer the door. It was a young man on the left side of Yan Dart's head who spoke, also surnamed Liu, but coincidentally, this Liu and Liu Mei were not the surnames of the same family. This Liu Mei is a person from Jingzhou, surnamed Feng, everyone says that the surname Feng is ancient, and the historical inheritance is ancient myths and legends. This Feng Liu Mei is a man, suave and handsome. It's just that when he was young, his family couldn't support him to read and learn calligraphy, so he only followed a rural wandering craftsman to learn art everywhere and barely make a living.

People only say how difficult life is, when Liu Mei grew to the age of 9, he met a master. When he saw Liu Mei, who was playing cotton in a shed and weaving ramie into a mat, he took a closer look at Liu Mei's hands. The joints of the hands are long and the bones are distinct. smiled again and again: "This hand can be carried clearly, and the heart can be clear." "This master is Lu Cheng, Lu Cheng is a famous umbrella master, and the umbrellas he makes are famous. He asked Liu Mei's first master to pass Liu Mei and bring him back to the house for training. Sure enough, Liu Mei did not disappoint him, and at the age of 14, Liu Mei made an umbrella and martial arts moves.

At the time, everyone said that the green is better than the blue, Lu Cheng has been specializing in umbrella art all his life, and he has only 5 disciples to teach. The eldest disciple Ren Hong, who is the same age as him, was originally Lu Cheng's scholar, although he thought a lot about reading, he was very reckless. Second disciple, Hanazuki. It was because of this disciple that Hua Roushou escorted the reincarnation umbrella to this Liu Mei Mansion for free. Hua Yue is a distant relative of Hua Roushou and the only female disciple of Lu Cheng. The third disciple, Cheng Guanli, his father is a squire, and he originally hoped to be able to gain fame and fame and close the lintel, but this Cheng Guanli is not doing his job, and he has no mind on Wuwen characters, but he is very willing to spend his own thoughts on wood-making skills. So he bowed to Lu Chengmen. The fourth disciple is also the son of Lu Cheng, Lu Yougong, this person is silent, just for the sake of his son inheriting his father's business, he learned some skills. When Liu Mei first entered the Lu Mansion, the four senior brothers were all older than him, even if it was Huayue, they were three or four years older than him.

Liu Mei has lived a life since he was a child, and he traveled south and north with his master, and his life was hard. It's just that in this Lu Mansion, life is calm, there are no more troubles, and one mind is devoted to studying this paper umbrella. In just a few months, he stood out among several senior brothers and emerged. When he was 14 years old, he made a weapon for his family's nursing home. It can be seen daily, easy to carry, and more sharp, so Liu Mei named it an umbrella cone.

The umbrella cloth used in the umbrella cone is black, and the tip of the umbrella is silver cone, so it is called the umbrella cone, and because when the umbrella is fully open, when it falls into the enemy group, turn the umbrella handle, and in the umbrella blade interlayer, there is a conical flying knife that can fly out, and with the help of the umbrella's choice power, you can shoot the enemy two or three meters away. Although the whole umbrella is black, there are iron pieces hidden under the umbrella cloth, and the umbrella handle is also made of good iron, which can easily block the slashing of the sword. When the umbrella cone is closed, it is folded, but it is inside and outside, and outside and inside. The iron sheet and iron bar are folded into a block, gathered into a handful, and the dance is like a wedge in the hand, the tiger is vigorous, and the whip is powerful. Over the wood flying chips, over the bamboo broken joints, hit the stone and fly crack. It has also been used to fight against people, when the umbrella is open, it can be covered or blocked, it can be topped or smooth, and people can not get close to it. It can also reach the crowd, the tassel can come out of the umbrella, all of which are made of iron pieces, flying out, under the wind and light, the sharp can sweep the enemy's throat and arm, which can be described as unstoppable. The umbrella is more inside, and the hidden weapon is everywhere, just choose the umbrella handle. You can also pull the handle of the umbrella, there is an iron cable hidden in the handle, and when the fan is swirling out, shake the iron chain to take the enemy's head from a distance, and then pull it back.

When this umbrella was first demonstrated in Lu Mansion, everyone sighed that there was no one, only Lu Cheng was sullen, he sighed, called Liu Mei, reprimanded, and closed it for 33 days, only one food a day, several bowls of water, and did not see the sun in the world. When asked, he said, "Nothing can be done, the power is exhausted, and the blessing is ruined." This umbrella cone, self-defense has nothing to say, but this kills the enemy, far or near, light or dark, all killed, without a trace of compassion, I am afraid that the object will be reversed, and it will suffer from it. However, no one could hear Lu Cheng's words, and this umbrella cone did not cause any trouble, but three years later, when Liu Mei was seventeen, Liu Mei was famous all over the world. Martial arts people ask for an umbrella cone but can't get it.

The golden Luo umbrella is used by the royal family, Lu Cheng also makes flower umbrellas and parasols for the emperor's relatives and ministers every year, or one fold, or two folds, or even three folds, the keel of the umbrella, the paper umbrella or embroidery, are extremely exquisite. The royal Luo umbrella is even more solemn, the queen mother's concubine, or the concubine, or even the princess, also have their own regulations.

On this day, it was the birthday of Wang Feng, the horse in the capital, and Lu Cheng also had some friendship with the horse, so he took all the disciples into Beijing to celebrate the horse's birthday.

I didn't want someone to openly assassinate, but the target of the assassination was not a horse, but the prince of Wei who came to congratulate him on his birthday. Prince Wei sat at the first table, but Lu Cheng and the others were in the last few seats. There are also some differences and distances between the seat rankings. The assassin disguised himself as an attendant and stood behind Lord Wei. In his sleeve, the dagger came out, and as soon as his hand was raised, it was already pierced into the chest of Lord Wei. Another attendant saw it, and hurriedly took his sword to block it, and one of the attendants also rushed to action, but instead of facing the assassin, he raised his sword and fell, and a sword hit the chest of the other attendant. Wei Wang Ye dodged the assassin's dagger again and again, and unknowingly ran to the main hall, but the whole person accidentally fell to the ground, and there was no escape. Lu Cheng's entourage stood on the side, and as soon as the umbrella cone opened, the chain swished, and stretched out in front of the assassin, only to fly, and the assassin was already splattered with blood on the spot. Seeing this, the accomplice of the eater was shocked, and hurriedly turned around and ran out, unexpectedly, under a few spins of the umbrella, the flying knife flew quickly, leaving no living mouth.

The banquet broke up unhappily, Lu Cheng and others became a topic of discussion among everyone in the capital, weapons are things to kill, ominous weapons, this umbrella cone is especially bad, in a moment, without much action, you can kill several people. Victory and sorrow. Because Liu Mei is the producer of the umbrella cone, he has become a figure visited by the princes and nobles and some people in the rivers and lakes, but Lu Cheng politely rejected them one by one, saying that there is only one umbrella cone, and the technical drawings have been burned. It is also known that the umbrella cone was handed over to the national treasury or used as a military defense. After that, he left the capital in a hurry and returned to his hometown.

Lu Mansion stayed for another four years, Liu Mei asked the master to take Huayue as his wife, during the peaceful days, I will not repeat it here, but this reincarnation umbrella, I am afraid it is the handiwork of this Liu Mei. It's just that no one knows why it was collected by his master Lu Cheng so far. When the master died, he gave the reincarnation umbrella to Liu Mei's hands, either preserved or annihilated, in Liu Mei's thoughts.
