Chapter 4: Laughing at Heroes (Part II)
But Lu Qingfeng didn't care, he just smiled and said: "Haha! It is not easy for Fang Zhangmen to be able to objectively analyze the martial arts heroes and compare them with them, how can the old man be strange? However, Fang Zhangmen has said so many things about the old man, and if he loses the old man's 'ugliness', I should also stab your 'Lou Zi'!" Lu Qingfeng said that, in fact, the original intention was to have fun with Fang Zhongtian, of course, Fang Zhongtian had already understood in his heart.
"Me?" Fang Zhongtian also asked deliberately.
Lu Qingfeng saw that he pretended not to be, so he said again: "Fang Zhongtianfang, one of the Seven Heroes of the Martial Arts, is there nothing to say?"
"What do the juniors have to say about, the juniors are just doing their duty for Yixianmen, and they haven't made any contribution to the world. Fang Zhongtian first answered Lu Qingfeng's question with a smile, then the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and then lowered his head and quietly looked at the chess that had not yet been played, with a melancholy expression and eyes, "If you say the mistakes I made in my life...... The people I'm most sorry for are Lan Gu and Ying'er......" After speaking, Fang Zhongtian covered his forehead and eyes with his left hand, he didn't want Lu Qingfeng to see his sad face. But in fact, Lu Qingfeng has already seen it.
Lu Qingfeng didn't want to say anything more, for fear that it would hurt Fang Zhongtian's heart. So, he said, "I'm sorry, boss, I shouldn't have said these things that make you sad. ”
"It's nothing, it's not the fault of my predecessors, it's the ...... I mentioned myself" So, Fang Zhongtian grabbed the wine glass fiercely, drank it all, and then slammed it on the stone table, as if he wanted to use wine to eliminate the sorrow accumulated in his heart. But then he changed his expression and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things, let's talk about other things!"
"Okay then!" Seeing that Fang Zhongtian was calm, Lu Qingfeng said again, "Master Fang's martial arts can be regarded as the pinnacle! ”
Fang Zhongtian said: "Yes, I should be in charge of Xiexie, if it weren't for his help, I wouldn't have today's brilliant achievements!"
Lu Qingfeng asked, "Does that Fang master think that he can be regarded as a real hero?"
Fang Zhongtian heard this, and replied embarrassedly: "The juniors don't dare to make remarks, but if they have to say it, the juniors think that if they are in the rivers and lakes, Fang can still be regarded as a trace of heroism;
"Hahahaha!" Lu Qingfeng laughed softly, "Master Fang is really modest, but he is also reasonable. In the old man's opinion, Fang Zhangmen can be regarded as a man who has experienced strong winds and waves, and it is not surprising that he is praised as a hero. But compared to a certain person, Fang Zhangmen is much luckier!" So, he raised his wine glass and drank it to the sky.
"I don't know who the senior is talking about?" Fang Zhongtian asked.
Immediately, Lu Qingfeng put down his wine glass and said slowly: "It's Mo Tianxing, the head of the Wind Chasing Sect, who is also one of the Seven Heroes of the Martial Arts with you!"
"Mo Tianxing?" Fang Zhongtian paused for a moment, and then said, "I've heard of this person, but I don't know the specific deeds, and I've only seen him a few times at the 'Hero Sword Trial Meeting', I only know that he is also a disciple of Master Xuanqing and his festival with Lin Yufei, and I don't know much about his other behaviors." ”
"His festival with Lin Yufei is indeed known to everyone in the rivers and lakes. Lu Qingfeng said from the beginning, "Mo Tianxing is about the same age as Fang Zhongtian, and he is currently the head of the Wind Chasing Sect. This person can be regarded as having gone through ups and downs. His father died when he was born, and when he was five years old, his hometown was flooded and his mother was killed in that flood. Therefore, Mo Tianxing became an orphan when he was five years old. Later, when he was ten years old, Master Xuanqing of Wutai Mountain adopted him and raised him as an adult. Due to the premature loss of his parents, he has a somewhat reserved personality, and although he has great ambitions, he does not dare to show his ambitions. When he was twenty years old, he fell in love with Lin Yufei, the 'peerless beauty' in the martial arts at that time. ”
"Lin Yufei, I know!" Fang Zhongtian shouted, "Twenty years ago, the first beauty in martial arts, Ting'er (Li Ting) also had a relationship with her!"
Lu Qingfeng said: "That's right, it was Lin Yufei who Mo Tianxing fell in love with at that time. It's a pity that Lin Yufei didn't love him, but fell in love with an ordinary scholar named Su Ren. Later, Su Ren married Lin Yufei and gave birth to a child, which caused a sensation in the entire martial arts at that time. However, Mo Tianxing was jealous of this, and poisoned Su Ren with a trick, and Lin Yufei has not been heard from since this incident, his life and death are uncertain, and the whereabouts of the child are gone. ”
"Then how did Mo Tianxing become the head of the Wind Chasing Sect?" Fang Zhongtian was even more puzzled.
Lu Qingfeng drank another glass of wine and added: "Later, when he was twenty-five years old, he was conscripted into the army by the Mongols and sent to the Huguang area under the jurisdiction of Chen Youliang at that time. Four years later, Guo Zixing led the rebel army to liberate the Huguang area, and Mo Tianxing was free again. Later, Mo Tianxing went through a lot of hardships to settle down in the Wind Chasing Sect. After that, his commanding ability and martial arts skills were outstanding in the Wind Chasing School, and he was appreciated by Pang Feijian, the head of the Wind Chasing School at that time. Although he had made mistakes when he was young, Pang Feijian still trusted Mo Tianxing and taught him the position of head of the house. The old man was also the chief disciple of the Wind Chaser Sect, and it was the first time I had seen such a thing as a person who had been guilty of a crime to the position of the head of the family. ”
Fang Zhongtian sighed: "In this way, Master Mo also has a similar painful emotional experience as me, and he has really experienced countless ups and downs, and even compared to him, I am really lucky." ”
Lu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Okay, this is the case with Mo Tianxing and Mo Zhangmen." ”
Fang Zhongtian drank the wine and said: "Although Master Mo has experienced ups and downs, he has also been blinded by jealousy, as for whether he is a hero or not, it depends on his subsequent creation!"
Lu Qingfeng said again: "It's boring for Mo Tianxing to talk too much, let's talk about the next one!"
"Next up...... It's Wu Zijun, the chief disciple of the Wudang Sect, right?" Fang Zhongtian asked.
"Not bad!" Lu Qingfeng said, "Wu Zijun is a rare talent of the Wudang Sect, he is not only proficient in martial arts, but also knows astronomy and geography. ”
Fang Zhongtian added: "It is said that he is Zhang Sanfeng's most beloved disciple. ”
"Yes!" Lu Qingfeng sighed again, "Hey, it's just that the world he has seen is a little shallow, he lives in the Wudang faction, and he doesn't know the warmth and coldness of the world, so there are no important deeds about him in the rivers and lakes." ”
Fang Zhongtian took a sip of wine and said: "Someone once said, 'Flowing clouds and flowing swords, gentleman Wu Angelica', it seems to describe him. It's just that he blindly lives in the mountains and sticks to the rules, which leads to his ignorance of astronomy and geography, but he doesn't understand everything in the outside world. But fortunately, I heard that Zhang Sanfeng's predecessors have taught him and let him go down the mountain to taste, I think this will change his outlook on life!"
"Haha!" Lu Qingfeng smiled softly and said, "Not long ago, I also met with Zhang Sanfeng, and when we discussed the chief disciple Wu Zijun, I also persuaded Zhang Sanfeng, saying that let Wu Zijun go out of the mountain more and experience the hot and cold ...... the world."
"It turns out that Senior Lu has already persuaded him!" Fang Zhongtian said happily, "It seems that Senior Lu can always think about it, and the junior is really admired!"
"In fact, whether it is for the internal governance gang or for the external care of the people of the world, these are closely related to the way of life!" Lu Qingfeng first took a sip of wine, and then said, "Speaking of the internal governance gang...... There is a person who is very comparable to the boss!"
"Hmm...... It's Xiao Juxian, the owner of the Xiao Family Villa, right?" Fang Zhongtian seemed to know the answer, and asked with his eyes closed.
"Yes!" Lu Qingfeng said, "Xiaojia Villa's status in the rivers and lakes can be regarded as thriving!"
Fang Zhongtian thought for a moment and said: "The Xiao family's martial arts are also admired in the rivers and lakes, whether it is the Xiao family's sixteen-style boxing method or the Xiao family's twenty-four Xiaoxiang sword technique, it is all a powerful martial arts. In many similar martial arts conferences, the disciples of the Xiao family can achieve haode results, so the reputation of the disciples of the Xiao family in the martial arts is not small. ”
Lu Qingfeng continued: "In fact, not only is his martial arts famous, but Xiao Juxian's more admired by people all over the world is his method of governing the gang and the way of being a man. ”
Fang Zhongtian said with a smile: "In this way, Xiao Juxian's ability to develop Xiaojia Villa into a bigger and stronger place can be regarded as benefiting from his way of doing things. ”
Lu Qingfeng touched his beard and smiled: "That's right, it's because of this 'Dao' in his heart that he can develop the things around him with this 'Dao'." Compared to him, Fang Zhong Tianfang still has a lot to learn!"
"Yes!" Fang Zhongtian said, "Xiao Juxian can not only manage the internal affairs of the gang, but also have the world in mind and put his heart on the people, such a person can definitely be regarded as a hero." It's a pity that our party hasn't made any contribution to the people of the world, so I'm really ashamed!"
"Master Fang doesn't have to blame himself too much. Lu Qingfeng comforted, "Yixianmen is a big gang, and Xiaojia Villa is just a famous family, and the comparison between the two is very different...... However, in recent years, many families in the martial arts have risen rapidly and become a force to be reckoned with!"
"I know that the family in the martial arts influences!" Fang Zhongtian continued, "The five famous and influential families in the rivers and lakes are the Mingjian Villa, the Xiao Family Villa, the Tangmen Family, the Nangong Family, and the Murong Family...... It's a pity that the Tang family, which has the first overlord gun of the Tang family in the weapon list, was betrayed by his disciple Tang Tianhui 17 years ago...... But fortunately, Tang Xiaofeng, the chief disciple of the Tang family, joined my Yixian Sect before and survived. But a month later, he also went out of the mountain again because of this incident and killed Tang Tianhui. This can be described as a great joy, but no one has ever seen the duel between the two of them. It is said that Tang Xiaofeng once said on the rivers and lakes that he would kill Tang Tianhui, and the news of Tang Tianhui's death was announced by the Mongols. Although they didn't see these two people, the martial arts people could also guess that Tang Xiaofeng had killed Tang Tianhui, but Tang Xiaofeng has not been heard from since, hey......" Speaking of this, Fang Zhongtian sighed deeply with grief.
Lu Qingfeng also stopped laughing, and only heard him say: "Tang Xiaofeng is also one of the Seven Heroes of Martial Arts! In the past, at the 'Hero Sword Trial Meeting', his heroic spirit still echoed in the old man's heart. ”
"Yes!" Fang Zhongtian said, "I have also fought against him, and his 'Tang Family Overlord Spear' can be regarded as a must!"
Lu Qingfeng continued: "It's a pity that he never came back...... In addition to a big harm to help Wulin, he can be regarded as a hero when he comes back...... Heroes are all said to be elected by the people of the world, and there is one person who can be praised as a hero by the people of the world after hearing it. ”
"Who?" Fang Zhongtian asked, "Could it be ......?"
Lu Qingfeng smiled: "That's right, it's Ge Wei, the leader of the beggar gang!"
Fang Zhongtian heard this and praised loudly: "Is Gang Master Ge a hero?"
"The head of the sect should know that the disciples of the beggar gang are the most extensive in the martial arts, and it runs through the vast area of the Central Plains martial arts from the south to the north. Moreover, the beggars have always acted chivalrous and righteous, helping the poor and helping the poor, and the people of the world are obedient to them. In addition, Ge Wei, the leader of the beggar gang, is not only strong in martial arts, but also has the world in mind, which can be described as a model for people in the martial arts and even the world!" Lu Qingfeng praised Ge Wei greatly, it seems that the reputation of the leader of the Ge gang can indeed shock the martial arts.
Fang Zhongtian was also full of enthusiasm at once, and said excitedly: "Gang Master Ge's 'Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending' can be described as a powerful earthquake in the rivers and lakes, and all the thieves in the world are terrified! I and Gang Master Ge also tried our skills at the Wudang Mountain Sword Meeting, and as a result, my 'Dragon and Tiger Overlord Fist' was slightly inferior to Gang Leader Ge's 'Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending', and Gang Master Ge's martial arts have really reached its peak!"
Lu Qingfeng closed his eyes for a while, and then said, "The old man once met with Gang Leader Ge in Yangzhou seventeen years ago, and saw him holding a baby boy in his hand. I'm curious, after all, the Ge gang leader didn't have a wife. So I asked him about the baby boy he had, and he said it was the child of one of his deceased people. When the deceased died, he adopted the child. I asked him again what the child's surname was, but the leader of the Ge gang politely refused. ”
Fang Zhongtian was also surprised when he heard this, so he asked, "Does Lu Qingfeng think that child is not ordinary? This child should be the same size as Ying'er." ”
Lu Qingfeng sighed, took a sip of wine and said, "Master Fang, Master Xiao Zhuang, and Gang Master Ge can all manage their own disciples so vigorously, and each gang is becoming more and more prosperous, but Dao is enjoying it! ”
"What does senior mean ......" Fang Zhongtian hesitated for a moment and asked.
Lu Qingfeng said: "It's one of the Seven Heroes of the Martial Arts, Murong Zun Old Man Murong!"
Fang Zhongtian frowned and said, "Murong Zun?"
Lu Qingfeng sighed: "Hey, Murong Zun can be regarded as a hero with his martial arts and chivalrous courage. It's a pity, this Murong family under his management ......"
Fang Zhongtian seemed to understand what Lu Qingfeng meant, and said, "I know, when Senior Lu mentioned Murong Zun, he didn't focus on Murong Zun himself, but wanted to talk about the Murong family and the Nangong family, right?"
Lu Qingfeng shook his head slightly, and said, "Don't look at the Nangong family and the Murong family on the surface, they are prosperous and stable on the surface, but they are in crisis internally. Internally, Nangong's seven sons: Nangong Cheng, Nangong Ce, Nangong Zhun, Nangong Zheng, Nangong Xun, Nangong Jun, and Nangong Ao. Murong's four sons: Murong Xin, Murong Xiao, Murong Tiefeng, and Murong Fei. Most of the people are intriguing and fighting for power and profit; externally, the Nangong family and the Murong family are fighting openly and secretly, all of them are fighting for some wealth and other vanities, and some even the whole people are not at peace. If this disharmony continues, even if these two families are important to fight against the imperial court, they will become a dangerous factor within the martial arts, and even kill themselves!"
When Fang Zhongtian heard this, he also sighed and said, "Although it is said that the Nangong family and the Murong family have a high status in the martial arts, they ...... Hey, forget it, everything follows the 'Tao', and those who follow the Tao and violate the Tao have their own destiny!"
After talking for a long time and drinking for a while, there was not much movement on the chessboard.
Lu Qingfeng said with a smile: "To sum up, those who are heroes have the world in mind, just as Canglong's predecessors said. The head of Fang recalls the heroes of the past, and now it is time to look for a new generation of talents!"
Fang Zhongtian put down the chess pieces and wine glasses and looked at the green mountains in the distance. His heart was quiet and seemed to be full of yearning. He sighed: "This Mengyuan world is no longer a stable world, and the long-term country should also collapse......
"The head ......" Lu Qingfeng also seemed to feel something.
Fang Zhongtian made a gesture and explained: "Senior Lu is not surprised, the junior is just sighing about the reincarnation of this world. As Master Xuanqing said, the people's aspirations are far better than changing a generation, what is the way of this world......"
"'Everyone has a righteous heart, everyone is a hero', we ordinary people can't change the way of the world, but as the predecessors of Shangguan said, we can change our own personality and be our own heroes. Lu Qingfeng added, "The change of people's hearts is linked to the change of the times, what Shangguan's predecessors said, I think it is to use the 'righteous heart' of mortals to promote history......
"Maybe it's like what Senior Lu said......" Fang Zhongtian closed his eyes and sighed a little, and after a long time, he slowly came back to his senses, stood up and saluted, "After saying so many words, I drank a lot of wine, but I didn't play much chess, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity......"
Lu Qingfeng said with a smile: "There are only a few chess pieces on the chessboard, and you can still do it in the future, and the chess game of life can never be played, but you can taste the mystery and philosophy of each stage and every piece at any time and in any place." ”
When Fang Zhongtian heard this, he felt a little, so he also smiled and said: "What Senior Lu said is extremely true! The junior is a little sleepy today, and I want to take a rest at the night, I hope the seniors will forgive me, let's play this chess another day!"
Lu Qingfeng drank the rest of the wine, touched his beard and said with a smile: "It's okay, if the boss is tired, he should rest early;
After saying goodbye, Fang Zhongtian turned around and left. He looked at the sky and sighed: "People who are destined in the world are ...... to arrive."
Looking at Fang Zhongtian's distant back, Lu Qingfeng was full of thoughts in his heart: Is there someone who is destined......
Fang Zhongtian returned to the house and collapsed on the bed. Then, he lightly covered himself with the quilt, turned his body to the side, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep......
