Text Volume 1 Wood Hibiscus Chapter 5 The storm is coming
The clouds of the river are rising and the sun is sinking, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings
In the early morning of the next day, the vast mountains were snow-white, and all the majestic mountains were covered in silver. After the snow, the town looks even more clean and beautiful, like a world of pink makeup. A round of red sun rises from the East Mountain, shining brightly, dazzling the mountains and fields after the snow. The sky was as clear as it was, and the sun after the snow was brilliant and bright.
It wasn't until the third pole of the day that the three brothers of the Chi family woke up in a daze, still feeling a splitting headache, luck traveled all over the body, dispersed the remaining alcohol in the body, and after a simple wash, they came to the inner hall of the inn.
The New Year is approaching, the morning is full of New Year's flavor, dumplings and dumplings are readily available, fragrant buns, colorful steamed cakes with different flavors, steaming porridge, just a few dishes of pickles, four people gobbled up, the wind and clouds, just like the flower child who has never eaten in eight lifetimes.
Passers-by woke up in the early morning and asked Lao Zhangtou where the young man was yesterday, and learned that the young man went to the small street in the town, and hurriedly urged the three brothers of the Chi family, and the three brothers of the Chi family did not know why, so they had to follow the passers-by out of the inn.
The town is full of lights and bustling today, the snow on both sides of the street has long been cleared and long stalls have been set up, passers-by look far and west, and find a smiling Ann in front of a candy blower's stall.
Passers-by didn't rush over and stopped a few steps away from An.
I saw that the sugar man master picked up a little syrup with a wheat straw, put the wheat straw into his mouth, and blew on the wheat straw, and the syrup immediately puffed up like a balloon, and at the same time pinched and turned in his hand, and after a while, a monkey-shaped sugar man was handed to Ann's hand, Ann smiled and looked at the sugar man in his hand, turned around and walked towards a stall selling windmills.
Then I bought two brown sugar glutinous cakes, just like that, An wandered all the way, stopped eating, bought a bunch of gadgets, and the passer-by Yao was happy with a puzzled look The three brothers of the Chi family followed behind An without saying a word, and secretly thought that my righteous brother didn't know how to spend his childhood.
It wasn't until An walked to the street, ate and drank enough, and walked back with his hands full of things, that he found that passers-by Yao and the three brothers of the Chi family were behind him.
Passers-by smiled and said: I think my righteous brother is still childlike, like an innocent child.
When the three brothers of the Chi family heard this, they were dumbfounded, and wondered in their hearts when this stupid young man became your brother-in-law.
Passerby Yao smiled and continued: I and the three brothers of the Chi family have important things to rush to Wudang Mountain immediately, if the righteous brother has nothing to do, it is better to walk with the brother, first, you and my brother have not been friends for a long time, and secondly, they have a care for each other, and I also introduce my sworn brother to the world's martial arts colleagues, and it will be much more convenient to walk the rivers and lakes in the future.
Okay, Ann replied with a smile while fiddling with all kinds of food and play around her waist in her arms.
It's just that when he heard the three words of Wudang Mountain, there seemed to be a firelight in the depths of his smart and bright eyes.
Passers-by looked at the loneliness and sadness of last night, judging the peace of the two, although they felt strange, but they were really happy in their hearts. And the three tigers of the Chi family were confused, and the red old man's dark face was flushed and he almost wanted to ask, only to see passers-by looking at the three brothers of the Chi family, waved his hand, and said with a smile: There are still 100 miles to go to Wudang Mountain, and it is not long before the agreed time of the Qingye Dao Chief, let's set off immediately, and explain to the three brothers on the way.
Just because of the rugged road to Wudang Mountain, the three brothers of the Chi family rode three horses when they came, and they couldn't take five people, so they had to stay in the backyard of the inn temporarily, prepared some dry food in the inn, filled three bags of sheepskin wine bags with spirits, and instructed Lao Zhangtou to feed the horses with good forage, and threw down a piece of silver.
It's just that the mute who has been wiping the table, at the moment when the passers-by and the five of them left the inn, looked up at An, thoughtfully, and lowered his head to wipe the table.
The three brothers of the Chi family have a bold personality and love to make friends, plus passers-by are far away and the third red black is repelled by Bai Impermanence, it is An's secret help, which makes the three brothers of the Chi family look at each other differently, but the red black is indignant and shouted: Next time, I will unscrew Xie Bi'an's ghost head, pull out his long tongue, and go to Taiping Villa to exchange some wine to drink.
The five of them talked and laughed along the way, plus they were all armed with martial arts, and they didn't feel tired, so they arrived at the corner of a barren mountain that was still half a day's journey away from Wudang in the evening.
I only listened to the passers-by: it was late, the wind was cold in the mountains, we were in this cave, lit a fire, drank some wine, rested for a night, and could go to Wudang Mountain at noon tomorrow.
Speaking of this, the passer-by smacked his lips and said: Oh, when it comes to Wudang Mountain, I think of more than ten years ago, when I was still an ordinary three-bag disciple of the beggar gang, I followed the old gang leader to drink the Qingquan bamboo brew in Wudang Mountain, I was itching, and I don't know why the Taoist priests in Wudang burn incense and cultivate the Tao all day long, and why the kung fu of winemaking is so good.
Tsk, this trip to Wudang, I must drink him a lot, so I hurriedly beckoned Chi Laosan to bring wine, it seems that he is not hungry. The second and third children of the Chi family also followed the coaxing to fight for wine, Ann was eating the pastries he bought in the town in the morning, smiling and watching them play, and couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart, when was the last time this feeling was made, Ann looked up at the darkening clouds on the horizon, and started to be stunned again.
Only the boss of the Chi family was unmoved, and came up to interrupt: Brother Lu, the second and third, and slowly, listen to me first.
Passers-by smiled and said: Brother Chi, let's talk while drinking, and poured another sip of wine as he spoke.
The boss had a serious expression, looked at the passer-by with a serious expression, and did not answer, and the flickering firelight reflected the already ruddy face of the red, like a flame burning.
Passers-by looked at the red reaction from afar, knew that the situation was wrong, put down the wine bag in his hand, sat down, and said: Brother Chi, please speak.
Crimson pondered for a while, and then pondered: At this Wudang Conference, I always feel that something is wrong in my heart.
A few days ago, when I received a letter from the Wudang disciple from the Qingye Daoist, I felt a little incredible, although Wudang has always been one of the seven major schools of martial arts, and the head of the Qingxuan Zhenren is even more respectable.
Crimson didn't care about the changes in An, and continued: But Wudang disciples have rarely walked around the rivers and lakes, and rarely paid attention to the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes.
Speaking of this, he paused, looked at the crowd, and continued: Not to mention that ten years ago, Qingxuan Zhenren suddenly went immortal, although Wudang later claimed that Qingxuan Zhenren retreated and practiced Wudang's Yin-Yang Sutra, and died of demons, but the majority of martial arts colleagues who went to mourn have never looked up to Qingxuan Zhenren's immortal body, not to mention that Qingxuan Zhenren has a gentle temperament and merit in creation, how could he go crazy for no reason, and even the immortal body has not been exhibited for people to worship and worship.
Speaking of this, Crimson paused again, obviously very suspicious of this matter in her heart.
I only heard him continue: And there is one more thing that is very strange. Ten years ago, in the three-point dart game, Chu Wentian, the head of the dart, and Mei Ruxue, the wife known as Aoxue Hanmei, suddenly went to the gate for some reason, because Chu Daxia and Qingxuan Zhenren were friends who forgot about the year, and before leaving, they entrusted their young son to Wu Dai to take care of them.
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Chu Daxia and his wife are determined to serve the country, and they went to Guanmen in person in order to spy on the military situation of the Jin State, eager to recover Yanmen Pass, the throat fortress of the Great Song Dynasty.
There are also rumors that Chu Daxia is forty years old in Yaoguan Mountain Jian Pingchuan's predecessors left behind, Jian Pingchuan's predecessors built a treasure trove outside the gate in front of him, which contained the amazing wealth he had accumulated throughout his life, which made people in the martial arts go crazy, but Jian Pingchuan's predecessors' unfathomable martial arts also remained in the treasure house, and it is rumored that the wealth can become rich and rival the country, and get the secret book of the exercises to dominate the martial arts, Chu Daxia went to the outside of the gate in order to find out his life experience, and it is rumored that Chu Daxia still has the key to open the treasure house mechanism, but he was unexpectedly learned by the demon black blood old man brother Bloody Ancestor who was eliminated by Jian Pingchuan's predecessors forty years ago, and the Bloody Ancestor gathered all kinds of demons to brutally kill Chu Daxia and his wife in order to obtain the treasure house key...
These rumors have been debated in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and no one knows what to do, but the young son entrusted by Chu Daxia and his wife to Wudang, after Chu Daxia's death, accidentally fell off the cliff on the day the news reached Wudang Mountain.
Crimson took a deep breath and said word by word: And, it was the day when Qingxuan Dao Chang went into the demon immortal.
Crimson said in one breath the doubts in his heart about this Wudang Conference, as well as the serial tragedies that caused a sensation in martial arts ten years ago, and he was also very tired, so he leaned his back against the cave wall and was silent.
These things have long been rumored in the rivers and lakes, and everyone knows about them, but listening to Chihong talk about it again and again, it makes people feel creepy and shudder.
A cold wind swept in, the firelight swayed, almost extinguished, the faint firelight reflected the uncertain faces of everyone, and the silence in the cave was silent, even the sound of breathing was clear.
The two brothers of the passer-by Yao and Chijia frowned tightly and were silent.
A soft snap broke the oppressive silence.
Everyone immediately woke up and looked up, it turned out that the windmill in An's hand had been broken, and everyone noticed that An's expression was wrong, only to see that his teeth were clenched, his face was pale, and drops of cold sweat were left along his forehead and sideburns, as if there were tears, pain, sadness, anger, and sad expressions were mixed together to almost distort his delicate face.
Passer-by Yao was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped up, one palm against An's chest, and the gentle true qi continued to enter An's body, and the other palm quickly slapped An's Feng Feng and Feng Chi points, and shouted at the same time: Brother-in-law! An suddenly softened, fell into the arms of Passerby Yao, and fell asleep, with two tear stains on his face.
After the passer-by checked Ann repeatedly, he found that Ann was only a little feverish and fine, so he laid him flat on top of the clothes he had taken off, and then sat next to Ann, frowning and silent.
The three brothers of the Chi family had already sat around.
I only heard the third brother complain: Big brother, tell your story well, you have to pretend to be mysterious, pretend to be a ghost, you see that my little brother who has just entered the rivers and lakes is scared, fortunately, my little brother is fine, otherwise don't say that Brother Lu can't spare you, and I won't let you go.
The second child interrupted in vain: "Third, Hugh has to talk nonsense.
The third child snorted, turned his head to look at the sleeping An, and said no more.
The boss crimson groaned for a moment, and whispered to passers-by: Brother Lu, why do you say this?
Passers-by were also suspicious in his heart, but he thought that the cause of this must be related, and it was not appropriate to implicate too widely, and the less people knew about his brother-in-law, the better, so he made up his mind and deliberately concealed the incident of last night.
He sighed and said in a low voice: I also met my brother-in-law for the first time yesterday, just because I was awakened by urine last night, it was convenient to get up, and I found that my brother-in-law was sitting alone on the roof and drinking, so I asked him to drink and talk, and chatted with him, so I became brothers, I only know that my brother-in-law is an orphan like me Lu.
Crimson groaned slightly, and said in a low voice: Brother Lu, do you think he will be... He stopped talking and didn't go any further.
Passers-by said in a deep voice: Brother Chi, Wudang Mountain is hundreds of zhang high, even if the Kunlun head who is known for his outstanding light skills in the world today, the master of Chengkong who crosses the river with a reed in Shaolin, and my big brother Buyunxiao, who falls down, there is no reason to survive, not to mention if it is my brother-in-law, who was only a seven or eight-year-old child at the time, how could he survive?
Passerby's words hit the nail on the head and broke Crimson's doubts.
Crimson continued: What Brother Lu said is extremely true, and the younger brother was stupid for a while, and he didn't think of this.
Passer-by: I think it's just because of the thin clothes of the righteous brother, the fever caused by the wind and cold last night, and the fact that the righteous brother is still young, and after listening to the appalling story of the eldest brother Chi, he lost control of his emotions for a while and hallucinated, so that he was like this. However, since I have recognized him as my brother-in-law, I will definitely take care of him in the future, and all his sorrows and troubles, even if he has a deep blood feud, will be borne by someone along my way.
After hearing this, Chihei called out from the side: And me, I, Chihei, also identify this brother.
The two brothers, Crimson and Crimson, smiled, without words, and the expressions on their faces said it all.
After a while, passers-by said: Ten years ago, Brother Bu Yunxiao suspected that the tragedy of the three-point dart game was related to the fact that the head of Wudang, Qingxuan Zhenren, went to the immortal for no reason, and disappeared so far, Lu believes that the day when Brother Bu Yunxiao reappears is when the mystery is revealed, tomorrow's trip to Wudang, brothers must not mention this matter, be cautious and cautious in everything.
