Yushan Shuangjie rode his horse and whipped, all the way south, and soon arrived in a small town in Jingzhou, at this time seeing that the twilight had fallen, they casually found an inn to stay. The next day, they continued to hurry, until they came to the old city, Yu Tianmiao asked: "Senior brother, after the old city is in Shandong, should we rush directly to Le'an?"

Yu Tianzhu said: "Senior sister, we don't have to rush to Le'an, we first go to the old city to visit our old friend Qiankun Men Miaoyi. ”

Yu Tianmiao said with a ashamed face: "In the six years of Yushan, I really forgot about these friends in the rivers and lakes, and I am ashamed and ashamed." ”

Along the way, they talked and laughed, not only talked about the past, but also said that in the future, they would be so idle.

They came to a small town, bought some dry food, and then continued to the old city of Spirit Mountain. After a half-day journey, I arrived at the Spirit Realm Mountain, but it was already dusk. They circled upwards along a mountain path in the Spirit Realm Mountain, and when they were almost halfway up the mountain, there was a knocking sound of a bowl in the distance, and the further they went, the clearer the sound became, and soon they saw a long stone staircase.

Yu Tianzhu smiled: "It's here." ”

They dismounted and tied their black and white horses to a tree on the side of the steps. Then walk up the steps.

"Senior brother, why doesn't Miao Yizhen take the steps to cultivate the way down the mountain, but halfway up the mountain? In this way, if it rains, wouldn't it be troublesome to go down the mountain?" Yu Tianmiao asked.

Yu Tianzhu responded: "Senior sister doesn't know, the monks like to be quiet, and they don't want any disturbance from the outside world. Those who really want to go up the mountain are generally friends, and even if they are friends, they have to go up no matter how difficult they are, but they can't make it difficult for visiting friends, so they build this step halfway up the mountain. ”

Yu Tianmiao nodded and said, "I see." ”

At the end of the stairs is a Taoist temple, and the Taoist temple of Yushan must be more majestic, and the age is more ancient, and the outside looks covered with a layer of vicissitudes of history. Yu Shan Shuangjie walked to the vermilion lacquer gate, Yu Tianzhu wanted to pat the copper ring on the gate, but he wanted Miao Yi Zhenren to know that it was him, stretched out his right palm and pressed against the door, and then used the internal force to swing inside, but there was no sound. Yu Tianzhu came back, looked at Yu Tianmiao and smiled slightly, Yu Tianmiao also looked at him with affection, the two of them smiled heartily, and they were in love.

After a while, the heavy door creaked open halfway, and a small Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and a small round hat leaned out half of his body, and when he saw a man and a woman standing at the door, he asked, "Are you visitors from Jinling?"

Yu Tianzhu nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

The little Taoist priest saluted: "Two guests, please come in." ”

Yushan Shuangjie walked in directly one after the other. The little Taoist priest closed the door again, and then said, "Two guests, please come with me." ”

The little Taoist priest took them to a room with the words Yang Xin Pavilion written on it, and the little Taoist gently pushed open the door, and then saluted: "Two of you, please come in, Master is waiting for you inside." Yushan Shuangjie nodded, expressed his gratitude, and then walked into the Heart Cultivation Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the Heart Cultivation Pavilion, he smelled a strong musky fragrance, and Yu Tianzhu said with a smile: "After so many years, Miaoyi's taste has not changed. ”

"I haven't seen each other for many years, and the sudden visit of two old friends has made Lao Dao very happy. "Someone came from behind the screen. After that, an old Taoist with a gray beard and a fairy wind and crane bones came out from behind the screen.

Yushan Shuangjie gave gifts one after another.

Miaoyi returned the salute: "It's fun to have friends from afar." You're welcome, please come and sit over there. ”

The three of them sat down one after another, and at this time, the little Taoist priest also prepared three teas for them, and then carefully retreated. Miao Yiyi: "At this time, the new tea leaves picked from the top of the Spirit Realm Mountain in the spring of this year, you can taste it." ”

Yushan Shuangjie nodded and thanked Miaoyi for his kindness. They picked up the teacup and drank a few sips, and sure enough, their mouths were full of tea. Yu Tianzhu said: "Sure enough, it's a rare good tea." ”

Yu Tianmiao was also full of praise.

Miao Yi smiled and said: "Good tea also needs good water to brew, there is a Su Yu Spring in the Spirit Mountain, the water quality is sweet and delicious, there is spring water all year round, but the spring is smaller, the water is not big, it is my big apprentice with a special vessel, it took an hour to hold a clay pot." ”

Yu Tianzhu said: "The newly picked tea leaves were originally slightly astringent, but when the tea was entered, it was not felt at all, but there was a sense of coolness. ”

Miao Yi waved his hand and said: "Two old friends, you don't have to be polite, the internal breath sound transmission method you used just now is strong and powerful, which shows that your internal strength has gone up again." I heard that because you practiced the Zihong Sword Technique, because your mind was wrong, you went crazy. Later, you worshiped under the door of Yu Lingfeng in the Yushan Water Moon Cave, so as to cultivate Yu Lingfeng's internal strength, but I didn't expect that after a few years, your internal strength has increased a lot. ”

Yu Tianzhu said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, if it weren't for me and my sister being in a hurry, we wouldn't have to trouble Yu seniors, now we have fallen under the door of Yu seniors, Yu seniors want us to change our names and surnames, and from then on, there will be no Jinling Shuangjian in the rivers and lakes, but Yushan Shuangjie." I changed my name to Yu Tianzhu, and my sister is called Yu Tianmiao. ”

When Miao Yi heard this, he nodded silently and said softly: "This old man Yu is pedantic by nature, and he even has to scruple about a name, so he really can't do anything about him." ”

Yu Tianzhu said: "It's not wrong that Senior Yu pays attention to his name, he taught us the internal skills of the upper level, how to say that we are also his disciples, and changing our name and surname is also a respect for Senior Yu, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." ”

Miao Yi smiled heartily and said: "It's rare, the big man is open-minded, so he can accommodate all rivers and learn something." ”

Yu Tianzhu said with a smile: "The real person has won the prize." ”

After being silent for a while, and after taking a few sips of tea, Miao Yi continued: "As far as I know, you have been apprenticed to the mountain for six years now, so it stands to reason that you should have learned all the skills of Old Man Yu, right?"

Yu Tianzhu said with a smile: "The real person is joking, Yu's predecessor's martial arts are unfathomable, not to mention that he wants to learn his martial arts skills in six years, even if he doubles the time, he may not be able to learn six or seven percent." ”

When Miao Yi heard this, he couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Since this is the case, why are you in a hurry to go down the mountain, don't you stay in Yushan for a long time, and cultivate martial arts well?"

Yu Tianzhu sighed lightly and said, "This matter is a long story. I don't know if the real person has heard of the Lin'an Golden Sword Society?"

Miao Yi stroked his beard, nodded lightly and said: "The Golden Sword Society is also a well-known sect in the rivers and lakes, according to rumors in the rivers and lakes, the Shen Hall Master of the Golden Sword Society was killed by the official family because of his collusion with the White Lotus Sect. ”

Yu Tianmiao didn't want to interject, but when she heard that the rumors in the rivers and lakes were pure nonsense, she was angry, and suddenly stood up and scolded: "It's just nonsense." ”

Yu Tianzhu immediately calmed Yu Tianmiao's emotions and said, "Senior sister, don't be rude in front of real people. ”

Yu Tianmiao immediately realized that she was reckless, and hurriedly apologized: "It's really rude, please don't be surprised by real people." ”

Miao Yi laughed, shook his hand and said: "Duan Nuxia doesn't want to see outside, seeing that you are so angry when you hear the rumors in the rivers and lakes, is it true that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are also untrue?"

Yu Tianmiao said: "It's not true, it's just a reversal of right and wrong." ”

Miao Yi was stunned and said, "Then I want to hear the truth." ”

Yu Tianmiao glanced at Yu Tianzhu, and Yu Tianzhu knew that she wanted to tell what had happened, so she nodded in agreement.

Yu Tianmiao said: "Can a real person know who is the mastermind of the Golden Knife Society's tragedy?"

Miaoichi shook his head.

Yu Tianmiao continued: "The Dragon Heavenly Gate of the Yellow Dragon Gang. ”

When Miao Yi heard this, he was slightly stunned and said, "It's him." ”

Yu Tianmiao responded: "It's him." Six years ago, this person was instructed by Zhu Gaoxu to deliberately come to the door to stir up trouble on the day when the Golden Knife Hall Master Shen Fa washed his hands, and slandered him for colluding with the White Lotus Sect disciple Lian Xiaokun in front of all the friends invited by the Shen Hall Master, intending to rebel. In fact, his purpose was to force Hall Master Shen to hand over the book "Vermilion Bird Pavilion". ”

Miao Yi sighed and asked, "Could it be that the rumors about "Vermilion Bird Pavilion" on the rivers and lakes are true?"

Yu Tianmiao nodded and replied: "It is said that the Vermilion Bird Pavilion fell into the hands of the old hall master of the Golden Sword Society in the third year of Hongwu, and has always been regarded as the treasure of the Golden Sword Society. But what exactly this book is, the little girl doesn't know. ”

Miao Yiyi: "I've heard of "Vermilion Bird Pavilion". At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a warlock named Zhangpu Yi living in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian, who was good at the art of Qimen Dunjia, and he was very good at arranging troops. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the major forces recruited troops everywhere in order to strengthen their strength, and they were thirsty for talents. Emperor Taizu had Liu Ji, Zhu Sheng, Li Shanchang and other strategists to advise him. Chen Youliang's fierce general Zhao Pusheng also used to seek talents everywhere, and was later introduced to Zhangpu Yi. Zhangpu was originally proud of the world, and the reason why he lived in seclusion in Wuyi Mountain was also to avoid the complexity of the world. Zhangpu refused Zhao Pusheng's invitation at the beginning, but Zhao Pusheng took the trouble to frequent Zhangpuyi's residence, and compared the world at the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhao Pusheng even compared Zhangpuyi to Zhuge Kongming in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which can be said to be a sycophant, and in the end, Zhangpuyi was gradually moved. Zhangpu Yi agreed to follow Zhao Pusheng down the mountain, but he had to promise him one condition, that is, his personal freedom could not be restricted. Zhao Pusheng was already overjoyed that he could invite him, not to mention one request, even if he agreed to ten requests.

After Zhangpu got off the mountain, he followed Zhao Pusheng to Hanyang, at this time Chen Youliang killed Ni Wenjun, and his subordinates, claiming to be a consolation envoy, can be described as high-spirited, arrogant, and did not treat Zhangpu Yi, but gave him an official position of captain. Zhangpu Yi was originally arrogant and ambitious, but when he saw that Chen Youliang was a villain, he was self-righteous and not a person worthy of his assistance, so he took a boat to leave Hanyang at night. When Zhao Pusheng learned that Zhangpu had left overnight, he thought that Chen Youliang was neglecting him, so he sent a boat to chase after him. Sure enough, he caught up with Zhangpuyi's ship at the place of Duyue Cliff, and Zhao Pusheng begged him to go back, and promised that if he went back this time, he would definitely get Chen Youliang's heavy responsibility. Zhangpu's heart to assist Chen Youliang was dead, so he naturally rejected Zhao Pusheng. But Zhao Pusheng was thirsty for talent, and did everything possible to keep Zhangpuyi, and warmly invited Zhangpuyi to go ashore first and go to the Vermilion Bird Pavilion in Duyue Cliff to talk. As soon as Zhangpu saw Zhao Pusheng's fist, it was not easy to refuse anymore. The two of them went ashore together, walked to the Suzaku Pavilion, facing the river, and saw that the river was sparkling and very quiet. Zhao Pusheng took advantage of the beautiful scenery of the river and sang a poem: The moon in the river is bright night, under the bright moon together, and Jun Liao is a few words, wishing you and staying. When Zhangpu saw that Zhao Pusheng treated him with sincerity, he was very moved. But he knows that Chen Youliang is small, suspicious, and ambitious, and he can't become the climate after all, and assisting him is equivalent to acting against the sky. In the end, Zhang Puyi still politely refused Zhao Pusheng's kindness, and Zhao Pusheng couldn't force it anymore, after all, he had promised Zhang Puyi that he could not restrict his personal freedom. Before leaving, Zhangpu advised Zhao Pusheng to stay away from Chen Youliang, but Zhao Pusheng was loyal to Chen Youliang, so he naturally couldn't listen to the advice. As a gift of knowledge, Zhangpuyi gave Zhao Pusheng an unknown book that he had written for nearly ten years. Zhang Puyi told Zhao Pusheng that this book was a book written by him based on his own experience after reading the classics of the world, and it may be helpful to Zhao Pusheng at a critical time. After that, he said goodbye to Zhao Pusheng, and Zhao Pusheng could only return in a huff. Sure enough, not long after, Chen Youliang fell for Taizu's counter-plot, and finally lured Zhao Pusheng to Yanshuiyi and killed Zhao Pusheng on the grounds of misdeeds. After Zhao Pusheng got this book, he also read a lot of it and was attracted, but because of the frequent wars at that time, Zhao Pusheng did not have the spare time to read this book. But this book must have a name after all, since it was given by Zhangpu in the Vermilion Bird Pavilion, it was named "Vermilion Bird Pavilion". After Zhao Pusheng's death, he heard that the book was taken away by one of Zhao Pusheng's house slaves, who took the book and disappeared from the rivers and lakes in order to save his life. As for the content of this writing, there are also different opinions. People who are greedy for money think that "Vermilion Bird Pavilion" records the treasure of Hama, the left prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, people who are good at martial arts think that "Vermilion Bird Pavilion" records peerless martial arts, and people from Rong believe that "Vermilion Bird Pavilion" is a book that can be called "Wu Mu's Testament" The art of war. ”

After listening to Miaoyi's narration, Yu Tianzhu said: "It seems that Zhu Gaoxu regarded "Vermilion Bird Pavilion" as a book of war for arranging troops. ”

Miao Yiyi: "Zhu Gaochu is ambitious, and has repeatedly perfunctory Emperor Chengzu's will to be the king of the border, because during the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Gaoxu fought bravely and made great contributions, and Emperor Chengzu also opened his eyes to him, if it weren't for the fact that he recruited 3,000 troops in Yanjing, let the eagle chase the dog all day long, acted arbitrarily, captured and killed the commander Xu Yedonkey, and the heart of seizing the heir was clearly revealed, Emperor Chengzu would not have sent him to Le'an. Now although Zhu Gaoxu is in Le'an, he still does not give up, and he acts as an eagle dog in various sects in the rivers and lakes for his use. Even the eldest disciple of the Demon Elder of the Immortal Temple in the Western Regions, known as the Black Wing King Waragray, became his subordinate. Zhu Gaoxu must have listened to slander and thought that "Vermilion Bird Pavilion" was a peerless military book, so he searched everywhere for his whereabouts. ”

Yu Tianzhu frowned slightly and said: "The Vermilion Bird Pavilion fell into the hands of the old hall master of the Golden Sword Society in the third year of Hongwu, why has it been peaceful for so many years, and no one has the idea of it until now?"

Miao Yi thought for a moment and said: "I don't know this old way, maybe it is the beginning of the great tomorrow, the people are recuperating, and they have no intention of changing, even if the world is peaceful, who will pay attention to the book "Vermilion Bird Pavilion", and over time it will naturally be forgotten by the world. The reason why some people have regained the attention of this book is also because Zhu Gaoxu intends to rebel. ”

Yu Tianzhu nodded, sighed and said, "It seems that people's hearts are evil, and there will be trouble." ”

Miaoichi said "um" and said no more.
