It was another cold and snowy night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shandong Governor Yamen, Governor Lu Qi is drinking with three or five beautiful concubines in the side room, and a few singers are playing and singing, and a small servant is holding a silver kettle, standing respectfully next to the waiter.

A gust of wind blew, the door of the side room opened silently, and a light breeze blew in from outside the door, Lu Qi couldn't help but shiver, and frowned: "Qiu Guan, why don't you close the door." The little guy behind him replied, "My lord, where is Xiao Cui here?"

Lu Qi said: "On such a cold day, why don't you close the door." Qiu Guan said: "I think Lao Gu, who sent tea just now, forgot to go out, turned around and slapped his mouth and deducted his salary." ”

Lu Qi was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a cold voice on the other side of the room say, "No need, you're just afraid that you won't have time to slap his mouth." ”

Lu Qi was startled, and hurriedly turned around, only to see a tall and thin young man with a clear face, standing at the door. The man was dressed in white, his face was pale, and when he looked from inside the room, he was almost the same as the snow outside the door, and there was no one but him. Obviously, it was this person who spoke just now.

Qiu Guan shouted: "Who are you, you dare to trespass into the governor's yamen." ”

Gao Yu ignored him and said to Lu Qi: "Lu Qi, you tell him who I am." ”

Lu Qi had calmed down at this time, looked at him, and said word by word: "You are Gao Yu!"

Gao Yu sneered: "Although we have only met once, it seems that you recognize me." In the Black Wind Village that day, you were wearing a red robe and sitting next to Wu Mantian, although you were dressed as a thief, you didn't look like a thief at all. At first glance, you are a pampered son, but you are so vicious, my family has no grudge against you, you are for the king of Chu, and you kill me all over the house. ”

Lu Qi nodded and said: "Yes, on the order of the King of Chu that day, I joined with Heifeng Village to attack Gaojiazhuang at night, and I was indeed among them." But the people of Black Wind Village have been slaughtered by you, and I have long since abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and I am loyal to the current emperor. All the reasons, now the saint knows everything, he should pardon me for my innocence, not only innocent, but also overthrow the king of Chu, I am really the first merit, so the emperor is gracious to me. ”

Gao Yu smiled and said, "The emperor is kind to you, and if you don't sin it, it is an official matter of the imperial court." But you participated in the killing of my whole family, and the court did not know about it, and I want to take revenge, this is a private matter. Don't talk nonsense, I'm here to take your life today, you know each other, one person is broken, I will spare you and kill no one again. ”

Lu Qi said, "Are you confident that you can kill me?" Gao Yu didn't speak, just looked at him coldly with a pair of eyes.

Lu Qi was stared at by him, he had seen his martial arts, that day he washed the Black Wind Village, and killed hundreds of minions by himself, knowing that he was ruthless. Then he pretended: "Even if I die, how can I believe that you will spare the whole mansion." ”

Gao Yu said: "I still want to bargain, but do you still have a choice at this time?"

As he spoke, his hands behind his back slowly stretched out, and in his hands were a pair of short silver spears. Under the light of the snow, the tip of the spear shone with a faint cold light.

Lu Qi smiled: "Okay, I'll follow what you say." As he spoke, his left foot suddenly flew up and kicked out, kicking on the stove in front of him for warm wine, which flew towards Gao Yu with a burning charcoal and a pot full of warm wine. Gao Yu didn't expect him to do it immediately, and he didn't take precautions.

With a local sound, a silver spear in his right hand, and with a bang, the coals of the fire exploded like fireworks, and flew in all directions, and the wine spilled from the air like rain. The copper stove flew out of the door and landed far in the snow in the courtyard outside the door.

Counting the sparks, Gao Yu only felt a burst of heat, followed by a sharp pain on his face, and knew that he was splashed with coals. couldn't help but be angry, and scolded: "Good traitor, if you let your family live a chicken dog, I will not be a descendant of the Gao family." After speaking, the silver spear stabbed at Lu Qi.

Hearing a sound, Gao Yu's hand shook, only to feel that there was one more person in front of him, and after that person fired his shot, he actually attacked him with the blade in his hand. Gao Yu hurriedly returned the gun and stopped, the man missed a blow, and his body had retreated three feet sharply, and his body was extremely fast.

When Gao Yu looked at it again, it was the little autumn official of Shicai. In Qiu Guan's hands, there are two silver shining things that are more than two feet long, like whips but not whips, like swords and not swords, with a sharp front and thick back, and resembling a crane's beak. Among the eighteen kinds of weapons, this thing has never been heard of or seen.

Gao Yu said: "Good martial arts, Lu Qi, I can't imagine that there are such good players in your mansion, where did you get them." Then he turned back to the little guy and said, "Boy, this is not the place for you to stay, go away quickly, you are still young, and you can't afford to lose your life with this dog official." ”

This person's martial arts are indeed different, one is ruthless, one is accurate, and the other is forbearing. The man wielded two crane-beak swords and swung them as freely as if they were in his hands.

The man's left sword was raised upward, Gao Yu shouted, and the silver spear pressed down.

The sword in this person's left hand was pressed against the bottom plate by the silver spear in Gao Yu's right hand, and he couldn't lift it for a while. At the same time, Gao Yu's left pistol, as fast as a silver snake, stabbed straight at the man's face, and the man's body leaned back. At the same time, the sword in his right hand slashed horizontally towards Gao Yu's shoulder. Gao Yu's left hand spear pierced the air, avoiding Qiu Guan's right hand sword sweep, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and his body fell backwards.

It turned out that Qiu Guan's crane beak sword was hollow, and there was a sword in the sword, and it was a flying sword. The mechanism was on the hilt of the sword, and when Gao Yu pressed down the sword in his left hand, according to the news of the motive spring, the sword in the sword shot out, and the two were only two feet apart, and the speed of this flying sword was very urgent. With such a close distance, there is no way to dodge.

The man saw Gao Yu fall to the ground, a move "Spirit Crane Pick Snake", his body swept up, and he threw himself down to Gao Yu's tumble, Gao Yu wanted to turn over and jump up, but at this time the air had been sealed by that person, and he rolled on the ground at the moment, and the silver spear in both hands flew out of his hands.

The silver light flashed, the man thought that Gao Yu was injured, and there was no power to resist, where did he think that he would have some tricks, Gao Yu's move "Silver Arrow Golden Eagle" was originally the famous and mastery of the Iron Spear Ancestor back then, and it was used to win in defeat, killing countless enemies, and never missed.

Two short silver spears, like two white lightning bolts, shot the man in the head and the chest and abdomen of the man. The man's eyes lit up, and he knew that something was wrong, so he turned his head to the side and dodged a shot.

With a slam on the ground, another silver spear pierced into the chest, passing through the chest, and Qiu Guan fell to the ground like a big bird with an arrow, apparently no longer alive. (Q1.1: Qiu Guan, a disciple of the Nine Swords of Linghe, was killed, and Cui will appear in the future to take revenge.) ）

When Gao Yu looked back for Lu Qi again, he was already gone.

At this time, he suddenly heard the countless people in the courtyard, and Gao Yu knew that the soldiers of the governor's yamen had arrived. Gao Yu looked out the window, and there were soldiers and horses everywhere. Obviously, this house has been surrounded, and countless soldiers are ready to fight. If you don't get hurt, you have seven points of certainty that you can rush out of the house, and if you are injured, if you have a helper with similar martial arts, you can also get out of the house with five points of confidence. Now that he is seriously injured, he has been poisoned, and he is also single, if he wants to escape, he is afraid that he is not even sure of it.

While he was hesitating, one of the soldiers stepped out, dressed in heavy armor, and there were twenty or thirty guards on his side. It was Lu Qi who was still in this room just now.

I think he slipped through the secret passage in the room, then gathered the soldiers and changed into clothes.

Lu Qi said: "Gao Yu, you are single-handed, where do you want to run?"

He thought in his heart that there was a great poison on this sword, and he couldn't imagine that he would not succeed in killing and revenge, but would suffer from it.

Gao Yuqiang took a breath inside, his abdomen hurt like a knife, knowing that it was a poison attack, if he couldn't escape and find someone to detoxify within half an hour, even if Lu Qi didn't attack, he would die of poison here.

He couldn't help but think in his heart, pretended to surrender, held Lu Qi hostage with his last strength, and asked him if he had an antidote. But he knew that Lu Qi was cautious and very cautious, and the chance of winning was very small, but he sought danger in victory, and he was in a Jedi at the moment, and there was no other way to do anything else.

He was about to speak, when suddenly he heard a kraka above his head, and a large hole appeared. A long, huge hand reached out from the cave and lifted him up from his belt.

He just wanted to struggle, but he couldn't use the slightest strength, only felt a body like a cloud driving through the huge hole in the roof.

He hadn't come back to his senses, and he hadn't seen who was mentioning him, but he felt the wind whirring in his ears. Countless arrows shot past him, and countless more fell beside him.

Behind him, the shouts of the soldiers finally faded away.

For a long time, Gao Yu consciously flew dozens of miles away.

When I came to a river, I vaguely saw several green brick houses, and tall apple trees were planted on the side of the houses.

The man took Gao Yu into the house and put him on a wooden bed, Gao Yu had lost so much blood that he had already fainted.

It took a long time to wake up, and I saw an old man sitting next to the board table in the room. His beard was white and black, his face was black and yellow, and although he sits, he looked quite tall, with a valley scarf on his head and a blue narrow-sleeved cloth robe. A pair of eyes are very bright.

Gao Yu saw that he was a stranger, so he struggled to sit up, but there was a sharp pain in his abdomen. Ayu couldn't help but scream.

The man was looking at the shadows of the trees outside the window in a daze, and when he heard Gao Yu's voice, he turned around, saw Gao Yu wake up, and said with a smile: "Gao Yu, you have been poisoned by the Crane Peak Blue in the Nine Swords of the Crane Spirit, although I have given you Peng Saliva Pill to temporarily restrain the poison, but it can't last long." You must not move. ”

Gao Yu said: "Crane Spirit Nine Swords? You mean the person under Lu Qi, his swordsmanship is called Crane Spirit Nine Swords? Who are you, how do you know my name, how do you know this swordsmanship?"

The man said: "My name, I can't remember it clearly, everyone around here calls me Zhang Sanye, so you can call me that." ”

Gao Yu said: "Third Master Zhang, I don't think I've heard it before." ”

Zhang Sanye said: "I and your father Gao Taigong are friends of cloth, but he is an official in the court, and I am in the opposition for the people, so I don't have much contact, but the friendship is not shallow." ”

Gao Yu nodded and said: "Yes, my father did have a very good friend named Zhang Sanye back then, but I have studied art in Mount Tai since I was a child, and I haven't been home much, so I have never met." ”

Zhang Sanye said: "Actually, when you were drinking on the full moon, I went to Linhai to congratulate. You should call me an old man. ”

Gao Yu said: "Yes, uncle, please forgive my nephew for not knowing your old respectful face." It's just that what happened today, but there is a boss in my heart who doesn't understand. ”

Zhang Sanye said happily: "You must have a lot of questions in your heart, such as: Why did I appear to save you when you were injured." Why do you know the Nine Swords of the Crane Spirit? ”

Gao Yu said: "Exactly. ”

Zhang Sanye said: "A few days ago, in the evening, I went to your father's grave to worship, just about to return, just happened to be your arrival, when you grew up, I have never seen it, so I don't know who it is, so I hid behind the grave to observe." ”

Gao Yu said: "It turned out to be you, no wonder the incense ash in the furnace is not cold, the paper money on the ground has not been burned, and even the candle oil on the wax fiber has not dried out." ”

Zhang Sanye nodded and said, "Later, I heard you crying in front of the grave, and I learned that after your father died, you avenged your father, and it turned out that you had suffered so much. Most of the enemies are now killed, except for this Lu Qi. ”

Gao Yu said: "On the same day, the king of Chu ordered a team of officers and soldiers to meet the robbers of Heifeng Village, led by the traitor Fei Dongping, and attacked my Gaojiazhuang at night. The whole village was almost killed, the women were taken captive, and all the grain and grass treasures in the village were plundered. The evil deeds are heinous. In addition to Wu Mantian, the owner of the Black Wind Village, the person who took the lead in this officer and soldier was Lu Qi. ”

Zhang Sanye said: "Well, these traitors are innocent. ”

Gao Yu gritted his teeth and said: "It's just that this Lu Qi, as a fellow party of the King of Chu, after the defeat of the King of Chu, he should have been punished for being involved in the case, but for some reason, he was not guilty." Because of the later counterattack against the King of Chu, he also made miraculous contributions in the Iron Mask case. Later, I asked my friends in the court to play to expose his evil deeds of aiding and abetting, but I didn't know that those twists and turns were like stones sinking into the sea, and there was no response. ”

Zhang Sanye said: "Lu Qi is now the governor, but he is a big official, if the saint sees these twists and turns, if he thinks that Lu Qi is not guilty, he should review the ruling and correct his name." If he is found guilty, he will be punished severely. There is no response now, but I am afraid that the extremely important people in the court are helping him, and these recitals will not be released. In this way, the Holy One cannot see it, and there is no way to judge it. ”

Gao Yu said: "You are the right person, and the people in the court also said the same. But who is willing to take this risk to protect Lu Qi, a person who once rebelled, you must know that if this kind of thing is not done well, you will be burned. ”

Zhang Sanye shook his head and said, "This is very difficult to say. ”

Then he said: "You knew that the court was hopeless, so you took the risk and assassinated him alone." Gao Yu said: "Do I have any other way?" ”

Zhang Sanye said: "It's a shame that in front of your father's grave that day, when you cried, you leaked the idea of assassination, and I can save you back this time." ”

Gao Yu said: "Uncle, how do you know that swordsmanship?"

Zhang Sanye said: "Because I have also suffered the loss of this swordsmanship, it was many years ago. I was young. When I went to Changbai Mountain in eastern Liaodong to collect medicine, I met a few Koreans and insisted that I had stolen the ginseng on their territory. As soon as he didn't agree, he moved his hand. ”

Gao Yu said: "The swordsmanship made by those people is the Crane Spirit Nine Swords?" Zhang Sanye nodded and said: "Exactly, later, like you, I was also hit by the poison of the crane top blue quenched on the flying sword." ”

Gao Yu said: "I only heard that the red peacock gall of the crane top is a highly poisonous thing, and this is the first time I have heard of the crane top blue." ”

Zhang Sanye said: "In fact, Heding Blue is a very pure toxin extracted from Heding Red, mixed with Southwest Snake Venom, which is ten times more toxic than Heding Red. After poisoning, if you don't take the medicine in time, there is no hope of survival within two hours. After I was poisoned that day, I barely escaped down the mountain, and the Goryeo people did not chase after me. He was treated by a monk and took the Peng saliva pill he gave him to save his life. ”

Gao Yu said: "Peng Saliva Pill, the name of this medicine is so strange. ”

Zhang Sanye said: "According to legend, the crane is most afraid of being swallowed by Dapeng, and its physical properties are mutually restrictive, so this medicine is dedicated to restraining the poison of the crane top blue. After I took it that day, I had one pill left, which I had just given you, and you would be safe within three months. ”

Gao Yu said: "March? This medicine can only last for three months, but you have also been poisoned by this poison, why have you been fine." ”

Zhang Sanye sighed: "Back then, I took one pill every three months. It took three pills in a row to cure this poison, and now you only have one pill to take, so you can only support it for three months, but during these three months, you can go to the Western Regions to find this medicine. ”

Gao Yu nodded and said, "Peng Saliva Pill, since this medicine has a name, it should be available." He added: "What kind of crane spirit nine swords you just talked about, it is really powerful, but forgive me for being clumsy, the Central Plains martial arts don't seem to have heard of this sword technique." ”

Zhang Sanye said: "Yes, this swordsmanship and crane boxing is the famous martial arts of the White Crane faction in Liaodong, according to legend, the earliest is the unique school of the Cui family in Lelang County, North Korea, never passed on, and then the Wuhu Rebellion, the Cui family moved inward, and its martial arts also began to flow into Middle Earth from outside the gate." ”

Gao Yu said: "Well, I remember, Lu Qi did call that Qiu official 'Xiao Cui', but how do you know the origin?" Zhang Sanye said: "This is also what the Hu monk told me, and he later passed on a martial art to me, and the move I saved you just now is one of the styles in this martial arts." ”

Gao Yu said: "Yes, when you saved me, your arm suddenly grew out, stretched down from the skylight, and picked me up, what kind of kung fu is this." ”

Zhang Sanye said: "That Hu monk said that it was the method of easy tendon and marrow washing. ”

If Gao Yu wants to take revenge, he must find the strange monk, but the strange monk is from the Western Regions and has already returned to the Western Regions.

Zhang Sanye said: "That Hu monk is bearded and blue-eyed, extremely tall, and only has half an ear in his left ear. And he has a name and a surname, according to him, he is the Great Dharma King of Longgen of Danzang Temple in the Western Liao Kingdom. ”

Gao Yu said: "This time I went west, traveled thousands of miles, and my life and death were uncertain. Even if he finds the Dharma King and seeks an antidote to save his life, he doesn't know when he will be able to return to the Central Plains. Before going to the Western Regions, I had to go to Liangxi to meet a few good friends, which can be regarded as resignation. ”

Gao Yu recuperated at Zhang Sanye's place until the injury was almost healed, during which Zhang Sanye told him many customs and wonders of the Central Plains and the Western Regions. Gao Yu was originally afraid to go to the Western Regions, but after listening to Zhang Sanye's description, he began to eagerly look forward to the Western Regions. After a few days, he said goodbye to Zhang Sanye and crossed the river to the south.

Liangxi, located on the shore of Taihu Lake, across the lake from Gusu, is indeed a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River.

Evening, drunk red mansion, warm pavilion. Rou Tie, Dong Fei, Gao Yu, Qing officials Fu Feng, Fu Feng friend Lu Xiucai.

Everyone set up wine to see Gao Yu off.

Fufeng said: "Today, fortunately, your brothers can drink three cups of wine, why don't you drink with poetry?"

Gao Yu stroked his palms and smiled: "That's what I mean, now Lu Xiu is needless to say, he is a literati, and his poetry and literature will not be bad." Fufeng girl, born beautiful, with brocade rust in her chest, is naturally not bad. As for Big Brother Rou, hehe, what is the name of the rivers and lakes?"

Fufeng smiled: "It seems to be called Soft Breeze Quick Sword Iron What is it? By the way, it is an iron courage and exquisite heart." Since it is a delicate heart, then this talent must be very high, there is no Cao Zijian's eight bucket talents, five-step poems, I still have half-stone talents. ”

Rou Tie laughed, patted his stomach, and said, "In my stomach, there is no half-stone wine, and half-stone wine should be able to hold it." Brother Gao, do you say yes or no?"

Gao Yu said: "I want to say no, but I'm afraid?"

Rou Tie pretended to be curious, "Why is that?"

Gao Yu said: "Because I don't pour you half a stone yellow soup again, I'm afraid that the wine worm in your stomach will not agree." ”

Everyone laughed in unison.

Gao Yu took a sip of wine and suddenly coughed violently.

Rou Tie said with concern: "My brother has always been good at drinking, why is it that he is not feeling well today." ”

Gao Yu shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I think when I crossed the river a few days ago, I suffered some wind and cold, and it didn't get in the way, just drink a few cups to drive away the cold." I came to Jiangnan this time to bid farewell to you. ”

Dong Fei said: "Resign, where are you going?" ”

Gao Yu said: "I want to go out of the customs and go to Xiliao." ”

Rou Tieqi said: "You want to go out of the customs, there are several ways to go to Xiliao, whether you go to Yangguan or Yumen Pass." ”

Gao Yu sighed: "Yes, but it is neither Yangguan nor Yumen Pass, but Yanmen Pass." A few days ago, I went to the north to worship my ancestors, and met a Hu man from the Western Regions, who was knowledgeable and martial arts, which was really rare in his life. Proficient in several Chinese languages, talking to me about foreign things in the west, it is really unheard of, I can't imagine that the world is so big, and after the death of Master, except for you and Gao Yu and a few other friends, I have no relatives in the Central Plains, and I also want to go out to open my eyes. ”

Lu Xiucai said with a smile: "Yes, it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and it is better to read countless people than to travel 10,000 miles." Brother Gao is such a talent, he travels all over the world, and he is afraid that no one in the world knows you. "Zuo Biography" said: "There is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by words, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is called immortal." "The greatest ability of the people in this world is to create a religion, set an example of morality, and establish a moral code, such as Shakya, Lao Tzu, and Confucius. second-class, but the establishment of immortal miracles, such as Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Guan Yue, Zhuge Kongming, etc. Again, they were handed down with poems and speeches, such as Taishi Gong, Li Bai, Du Fu, Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan in the past. ”

Gao Yu said: "Yes, Xiucai's remarks, in fact, my master also mentioned it back then, but the statement is different, he said that a man's reputation should be enterprising, not in the pen, but at the tip of the knife." It is said that it means to gain fame with literary talent and martial arts. When I talked to the Tianfang Hu I met that day, I admired his knowledge and martial arts, but he said that the saints of the world are different from my Middle-earth, and he said that their saints are called Allah, and the second of Allah is the Prophet Muhammad. And on the west side of heaven, at the end of heaven and earth, the people of the earth, believing in God, are called Jesus Christ. It can be seen that the world is big, although we are said to be a **** big country and a romantic state, we must not be arrogant, otherwise we will be a frog watching the sky. ”

Rou Tie said with a smile: "Shibei three days, when you look at each other, my brother has recently seen and entered the country, and he is far from the Wuxia Ameng of the past, but I, who is my brother, is soaked in the wine jar all day long, which is much worse, and I persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there is no one in Yangguan in the west." Come on, come on, I'll eat this cup first. ”

Fufeng said: "Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate." Come, Brother Gao, the little girl respects you and toasts you. Gao Yu laughed and said: "Okay, beauty and wine, life is geometric, come, do it." ”

Lu Xiucai said with a smile: "In the past, there was Tai Bo Ben Wu, and today there is a senior brother out of the customs, which can be regarded as a double masterpiece of ancient and modern." ”

Gao Yu said: "Taibo Benwu?"

Lu Xiucai said: "King Gu of Zhou's father had three sons, the eldest son Taibo, the second son Zhongyong, and the third son Ji Li. Ji Li married Tairen and gave birth to a son, named Chang. Chang has been very smart since he was a child, with a strange appearance, and quite a kingly demeanor, so he was deeply favored by the ancient prince. Gu Gong intends to pass on the world of the Zhou family to Ji Chang. However, according to the clan tradition at that time, the throne could only be inherited by the eldest son. Ji Chang's father, Ji Li, is the third, so he is naturally not qualified to inherit the throne, which will inevitably lead to Ji Chang not being able to inherit the world of the Zhou family. Gu Gong's father was unwilling to violate the rules of the clan, and he was depressed and depressed all day long because he could not pass on the throne to his grandson Ji Chang according to his wishes. After Tai Bo and Zhong Yong knew their father's heart, in order to obey the wishes of the ancient father, when their father was sick, they went down the mountain to collect medicine and ran away from Qishan. ”

Gao Yuxi went out of Yangguan and went to the Western Regions to find Peng Pill.
