Chapter 7 People in the rivers and lakes must have backers
The night is already very deep, and the summer islands of Montenegro are hissing and hissing at night, and the thick fog can't stop the brilliant galaxy from casting dappled starlight in the lakes and mountains.
In the quiet Spirit Mirror Gate, there was only one place, where the lights were still flickering, and there were still figures shaking.
On the Black Mountain Islands, there are seven relatively large islands, each of which has an island owner, all of whom are under the role of Lingjingmen, and Lin Wangshu, the owner of Lingjingmen, does not own any islands, but lives on Wanshi Island, the main island, on weekdays.
Wanshi Island is located in the northwest of the Black Mountain Islands, this large island has a small horizontal mountain range, the trend is extremely steep, the young people in the white boat to see the sword-like peak is located on Wanshi Island, called the Stygian Peak, those can be seen in the daytime fairy palace-like buildings, is built on the Stygian Peak.
At this time, on the Stygian Water Peak, there is a pavilion that is not big or small, the lights are swaying, and there are voices.
In the pavilion, there were three people seated, two of whom sat in front of a chessboard playing against each other by the scattered starlight, while the other stared boredly at the flickering candle flames, yawning from time to time.
Suddenly, they raised their heads at the same time and looked at the side of the mountain road, only to see that the mist there gradually dispersed to both sides, and a handsome middle-aged scholar was pacing with a feather fan, his eyes flashing, better than starlight, it was Yun Feiyu.
"Senior Brother Yun, you're finally here. The man sitting in front of the chessboard smiled, took back one of the chess pieces that was supposed to fall on the chessboard, threw it back into the chess bowl, stood up, and said to the woman opposite him: "This game of chess, let's play it again in a while, let's talk about business first." β
Yun Feiyu walked to the pavilion and made a small salute to the three people in the pavilion: "Senior Brother of the Sect Master, Dragon Pavilion Master, and Sect Master Ji." β
It turned out that the three people in the pavilion were the three heads of the three pillars of the world, and the man was Lin Wangshu, the master of the Lingjing Gate, who had a similar temperament to Yun Feiyu, not like a martial arts hero, but like a great Confucian, dressed in a long robe, with a clear face, and was also about thirty or forty years old, but compared with Yun Feiyu, there was a lot less arrogance and restraint in his temperament, if Yun Feiyu looked like a military advisor in thousands of troops, then Lin Wangshu was like an ordinary teacher from a famous family.
The woman who played against Lin Wangshu was Long Dan, the pavilion master of Fengshen Pavilion, who looked older than Lin Wangshu, but her appearance was amazingly beautiful, unlike many so-called Lingxiu beauties on the rivers and lakes, Long Dan was beautiful in her dusty temperament, at this time she was just wearing an ordinary skirt, just standing in the pavilion without opening, but the light on her body seemed to overwhelm the stars in the sky, and she was a woman like a fairy.
In addition, it is the sect leader of the Heavenly King Sect. Among the four people in the pavilion at this moment, Ji Mad is the most like a person in the martial arts, and he is also the least like a martial arts master. His hair was scattered over his shoulders, his face was full of traces of wind and frost, a layer of cyan stubble on his chin, his upper body was bare-chested, and he had a complex tattoo tattoo of a flying dragon and phoenix on his body, from his neck to his wrist to his waist and abdomen, he had not missed a single piece of skin, and there was a string of big gold chains hanging around his neck.
"Senior Brother Yun, how is the selection this time?" Lin Wangshu returned a salute to Yun Feiyu and asked lightly.
Yun Feiyu shook his fan and said with a smile: "The selection designed by Lord Yan Gu is quite innovative, making my Sanzhu disciples pretend to be bandits who are going to sneak attack Sanzhu, and tie up those children on the boat, leaving a few people to guard and observe their subsequent reactions, but ...... The results were somewhat unexpected. β
"Originally, the Lord of Yan Gu designed flaws for them to escape, and designed a series of coping methods for them to go up the mountain after escaping, including differentiation, temptation, suppression, etc., to test their hearts and reflexes, which can be regarded as a good game of chess. But there was a child who acted unexpectedly, directly smashed the chessboard, set fire to the boat, broke the game of the Lord of Yan Valley, and ended this selection ahead of schedule. β
Hearing "set fire to the boat" here, Lin Wangshu didn't react yet, Ji Mad subconsciously snorted, and his eyes widened angrily: "What did you say? Which ship? Although this selection was designed by our Heavenly King Sect, we don't care about this and this cost!"
Yun Fei Yupi replied with a smile: "Sect Master Ji, I'm afraid you guessed correctly, it's that ship......"
"Hehe, that's not the point. Lin Wangshu stepped forward, patted Yun Feiyu's shoulder, and said to Ji Maan: "It's just a boat, Senior Brother Ji doesn't need to be so nervous, I can still afford the Lingjing Gate." Senior Brother Yun, you go on, how could that kid set fire to the ship?"
Yun Feiyu nodded, but he couldn't help but write the word "poor ghost" in his eyes when he looked at Ji Yan.
"That child's name is Ning Wushu, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, her hometown is Hangning, and she is a little daughter from a rich and noble family. In this selection, this girl performed the most prominently, and played a key role in the resistance, and then there was a drama where the bandits put sparrows to ventilate the news, to see how the children could solve the trouble and come up with a way to deal with it before the arrival of enemy reinforcements, but this Ning Wushu chose to set fire to the ship directly, trying to use the fire to directly warn and ask for help to the world's three pillars masters stationed on the mountain, and also made the bandits have some scruples, because the fire of the burning ship will definitely attract a large number of people, and the bandits are less than 100 people, so they can't confront head-on, so they naturally retreatγ β
"In this way, this girl's wit and reflexes are far beyond ordinary people, what is her martial arts talent?" Long Dan, the Pavilion Master of the Wind God Pavilion, asked, seemingly very curious about Ning Wushu.
Yun Feiyu replied: "On the way up the mountain, I also secretly probed the bones and meridians of this girl, her bones are relatively ordinary, not surprising, but the meridians are extraordinarily thick, three or five times that of ordinary people, she is a genius who practices internal kung fu." I briefly investigated, but I didn't find that she had practiced any internal skills, and her figure didn't look like she had practiced fists and feet, so she should have no foundation. β
When Ji Yan heard this, he touched the stubble on his chin and said: "Hearing you say this, she is not very suitable for practicing foreign kung fu, and my Tianwangzong generally doesn't like any rich and noble daughters, forget it, you fight, our Tianwangzong doesn't want it...... Who?"
"Brother, it's me. On the mountain road, there was another person, it was the king of Hades, who had just finished dealing with the matter of burning the ship at this moment, and there was still a smell of smoke on his body, and there was a lot of black ash on his face, which was more embarrassed and depressed.
Seeing him, Ji was so angry that he didn't come to one place, and snorted coldly, don't look over.
Hades smiled and didn't pay much attention to him, and saluted Lin Wangshu with a fist: "I'm sorry Lin Sect Master, it's my fault this time, our Heavenly King Sect will find a way to compensate the ship......"
"Bah, bah!" Ji jumped like thunder, and the blue tendons on his forehead came out, "I want to compensate you, don't get involved with our Heavenly King Sect! Besides, he Lin Wangshu said not to compensate ......."
"Brother, don't be ashamed, don't be irritable......" King Hades glanced at his own sect master with a smile, and then turned to Lin Wangshu and said: "We really can't afford the money, but that little doll named Ning Wushu is worth fifty white boats to you, Lord Lin Men." β
"Oh?" The rest of the people in the pavilion were stunned, Long Dan squinted his eyes and laughed: "Little Hades, my sister knows that you love to brag, but this kind of joke will not be messed with, let's hear it, what is so special about this little girl......? But I'm very interested. β
"Hey...... Hehe, the Dragon Pavilion Lord laughed. Hades smiled and seemed to be a little jealous of this fairy-like woman, and touched her bald head, "You can't get this little doll, she has been a member of the Spirit Mirror Gate from the beginning." β
When the king of Hades said this, he turned his head to Lin Wangshu again, showed a slightly sly smile, and touched his big bald head: "Master Lin Sect, this little doll's surname is Ning, father...... is called Ning Liang, her mother, called Lin Mobai. β
"Lin Mobai!"
As soon as this name landed, the wind suddenly rose in the mountain, and the mist dispersed all at once, which was even more exaggerated than the scene when Yun Feiyu waved his hand to drive away the fog before, and even the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees shook and fluttered, and the candle flame in the pavilion was extinguished at once. I saw that Ji Yan, Long Dan and Yun Feiyu all subconsciously stirred up their internal strength, but they couldn't control the fluctuation of their internal strength because they were restless, and they couldn't help but have a frightened look on their faces.
Compared with the huge reaction of the other three, Lin Wangshu showed a wry smile after a moment of stunnedness.
"Huh...... It turned out to be my sister's child...... Yes, she was very fond of Xiao Xiucai back then, and that Xiao Xiucai is still your friend, but my father and I didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, thinking that for my sister, all this is just a game...... Hades laughed, sister, how is she now?"
"So that the master of the forest gate knows that Sister Ling is still alive in the world, but there have been some changes recently......"
Outside a small pavilion in the Styx Water Peak of Wanshi Island, the fog began to gradually thicken again, and the voice of Hades laughed intermittently telling some stories, and several people in the pavilion also changed their faces with these stories, sometimes surprised, sometimes contemplative, sometimes emotional, and after that, Hades's smiling telling finally stopped, and several people also fell into silence.
In the end, it was Lin Wangshu who broke the silence.
After listening to the story of Hades' laughter, he seemed to go back to many, many years ago, remembering many, many things from the past, and many, many people who were no longer there. But those people and things have dissipated in time, and the traces in the world have long been gradually worn away, but people can't help but want to float in the light of their recall.
"The world is impermanent, who would have thought that there would be so many follow-ups to the events of the past. β
"Since this Ning Wushu is my sister's child, then she is naturally my niece, and she is indeed a person from my Lingjing Sect from the beginning. β
In the past, she may have had the opportunity to be a young lady of an official family for the rest of her life, but from the moment she set foot in the Black Mountain Islands, she has already stepped into the rivers and lakes. β
"The rivers and lakes are very big, the rivers and lakes are also very chaotic, the things of the year are not over, and she will have to face it sooner or later. Walking the rivers and lakes, you can't do without a backer, since this is the case, let me, my uncle, be her the number one backer in the world......"
In the end, Lin Wangshu let out a long breath, and the expression on his face also relaxed, as if he had finally figured out something very complicated.
"The things of the past, have passed. None of us can predict what the future holds. It seems that this generation of martial arts rivers and lakes will not be very calm......"
