Chapter 11: Chasing the Past

Today's weather is exceptionally good, Li Yiyao is still practicing new swordsmanship and mental techniques every day, and after she finished practicing outside the door today, she sat alone on the stone chair and played the flute. This is actually Li Yiyao's personal habit, when she has nothing to do alone, she likes to play the flute, whether it is to cultivate interest or pass the time, the flute is always so tactful.

"Senior Sister Yiyao, hurry up!" was Xu Shuang's voice. I saw that on the small fork in the road at the front end of Li Yiyao's house, Xu Shuang was waving to her.

"It's Xiaoshuang!" Li Yiyao ran over excitedly, "What's the matter, what's the matter with me today?"

"No......" Xu Shuang explained, "Because today, Master Mo's Dharma Protector arranged for me, Wu Xian, and Taotao to go to the 'Water Moon Cave' to clean the petals there, so I thought that since this is the case, it is better to call you, Sister Xiaohong, and Senior Brother Chen to go together, so that you won't be lonely!

Li Yiyao waved her hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, anyway, the project I practiced today has also been completed, why don't I go with you, it's interesting when there are more people!"

"Really?" Xu Shuang exclaimed happily, "That's great, Wu Xian and Taotao will be here soon, just wait a while." ”

Li Yiyao turned around and said, "You wait, I'll call Sister Xiaohong!"

After Li Yiyao left, Xu Shuang stood under the peach blossom tree with a smile on his face and waited. At this time, Wu Xian and Lu Tao came over with big brooms.

Wu Xian shouted first: "Really, Xiaoshuang, you run so fast every time, Taotao and I can't catch up." ”

Xu Shuang listened, turned around and said, "What can't you catch, can't you two men even catch up with me, a little girl?"

Wu Xian said again: "You are embarrassed to say that every time we clean, we have to take tools, and with these guys, of course it is inconvenient for us." ”

"Hehe...... Xu Shuangcheng and the two of them grimaced.

At this time, Lu Tao also said on the side: "Sister Xiaoshuang, where are we going to clean this time?"

Xu Shuang heard Lu Tao's immature voice, so he touched his head with a smile and said, "It's 'Water Moon Cave', 'Water Moon Cave'...... However, it is a forbidden place for the wind chasers, so when it comes to Taotao, we can only clean at the entrance of the cave, and we must not go into the cave!"

"Hmm!" Lu Tao nodded obediently.

"Speaking of the Water Moon Cave...... Wu Xian said on the side, "I remember that it seems that no one is allowed to enter the cave except for certain people, not even the head of the sect can enter it easily." Only those with high status who are dying can enter, and those who violate them will either be immediately executed, or expelled from the division, and must not have anything to do with the Wind Chaser for the rest of their lives. ”

Xu Shuang withdrew his smile and said tremblingly on the side: "Yes, yes, I heard that this is the gang rule of the Wind Chaser Sect since ancient times......"

"What are you talking about?" At this time, Li Yiyao had already come out with Xiaohong, "I seem to have heard something 'Water Moon Cave', should you ...... it?"

Wu Xian said: "We were indeed talking about the Water Moon Cave just now, let's wait until the details are there......

"What's the good thing? Let me hear about it too......" Suddenly, a man in white with a short sword in hand flew down from the tree, and it was none other than Chen Shijin.

Xu Shuang first shouted: "Senior Brother Chen is really getting more and more powerful, I didn't even notice a trace of breath when I was so close just now, it seems that Senior Brother Chen has become more and more proficient after the short-term cultivation of Master Mo." ”

Chen Shijin smiled after landing on the ground: "Yes, Master Mo has taught me a lot of things in the past few days. ”

Li Yiyao saw it and whispered hello on the side: "Senior Brother Chen, you are here, ......" said as she said, her face flushed from time to time.

Chen Shijin said: "That's right, since the big guys are all going to Shuiyue Cave to clean, then I will also accompany you there!"

Xiaohong shouted on the side: "Okay, okay, it's useless to talk more here, let's go to Shuiyue Cave quickly, otherwise it will be delayed, and it will be difficult for the head to explain it." ”

So, everyone carried brooms and headed for the Water Moon Cave......

The Water Moon Cave is located in the northwest of the mountain where the Wind Chasing Sect is located. The road here is much wider than in other places, and it is said that this is because the disciples of the Wind Chaser sect hold festivals here every year. The entrance of the Shuiyue Cave is very large, and according to the regulations of the Wind Chasing Sect, after the death of each head or elder and other person who has made significant contributions to the Wind Chasing Sect, the body must be sent to this cave by a specific person. So it's not so much a huge cave as an important tomb...... There are a lot of peach blossom trees growing next to this cave, and even if the road is wide, the wind blows through it overnight, and it will still be full of peach petals. In order to show respect for the heads of the wind chasing faction in the past dynasties, the wind chasing faction will send people here every day to clean up.

No, Chen Shijin, Li Yiyao and their entourage have already arrived here. Originally, only Xu Shuang, Wu Xian and Lu Tao were arranged here to clean up today, but because Chen Shijin and the others were idle today, they also came to join in the fun.

There were two guards standing in front of the entrance to the cave - this was to prevent anyone from sneaking into the Water Moon Cave. Lu Tao took a broom, looked up at the huge hole and said, "What a big hole...... I come here every year to participate in the festival, but today is the first time I have observed the cave so closely. ”

"That's right!" Wu Xian said, "After all, it's the first time Taotao has come here to sweep the floor." ”

"Hey......" Chen Shijin suddenly sighed.

Seeing this, Li Yiyao couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you, Senior Brother Chen, why do you want to sigh?"

Chen Shijin said: "Seeing this Water Moon Cave, I think of the chief disciple of the Gang fifty years ago, that is, the elder of the Yixian Sect and one of the four saints of martial arts, Lu Qingfeng Lu's senior. ”

Xu Shuang listened to Chen Shijin's words, and also sighed with a lament: "Yes, Lu Qingfeng Lu senior fifty years ago could have become the head of a generation of wind chasing factions, but because of this kind of thing, it ......."

Lu Tao listened to the conversation of several people, turned his head and asked puzzledly, "What is the matter?"

Xiaohong touched Lu Tao's head and said, "Taotao, I didn't tell you what happened at that time because you were too young, but if you want to hear it now, we can tell you." ”

Chen Shijin said: "This has to start from the beginning...... Fifty years ago, Lu Qingfeng, who was only twenty years old, became the chief disciple of the Wind Chasing Sect with his outstanding martial arts and extraordinary courage. Not only that, but Senior Lu at that time was also a little famous, and he could be said to be a rising star in the martial arts. But I don't know when, Lu Qingfeng secretly created a shocking knife technique, commonly known as the 'Soul Breaking Knife Method', this knife technique is swift and powerful, and there are few enemies in the martial arts. ”

At this time, Li Yiyao added: "But everyone should know that one of the gang rules of this gang is that all disciples of the Wind Chasing Sect cannot delve into weapons and martial arts other than swords, and those who violate it will be driven out of the Wind Chasing Sect, and they must not have anything to do with it in this life." Because of this, Lu Qingfeng was personally driven out by Shangguan Xianjian, the head of the Wind Chasing Sect at that time. Lu Qingfeng had no choice, no matter how unruly he was, after all, Shangguan Xianjian was the number one master of martial arts at that time. ”

Xiaohong took Li Yiyao's words and said: "Originally, just learning the knife technique, Senior Lu didn't have much of a problem, but Senior Lu still did something unexpected......

"What's the matter?" Lu Tao asked again.

"That's right...... Xu Shuang added, "Senior Lu actually entered the forbidden land of the Wind Chaser Sect, which is this Water Moon Cave. It is said that Lu Qingfeng was just to say goodbye to the elders who passed away for some reason before leaving, so he went to visit their spiritual position, leaving no regrets in this life......"

Wu Xian said again: "Who knows...... Who knew that the matter of Senior Lu sneaking into the forbidden land of the sect was spread to Shangguan Immortal Sword because of the leakage of the news. Shangguan Xianjian sent a killer to kill Lu Qingfeng. Senior Lu had no choice but to fight his way out of the bloody road, and vowed not to have anything to do with the Wind Chaser Sect for the rest of his life......"

After listening to Lu Tao on the side, he said with a sad face: "Ah? Senior Lu...... Isn't that pathetic?"

Xu Shuang patted Lu Tao's shoulder and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that what caused this disaster was the incomprehensible gang rules of the Wind Chaser faction......"

Chen Shijin also sighed on the side: "Hey...... Senior Lu can be regarded as a hero who has the world in mind and his heart for the people, and he is also one of my most admired predecessors, but it's a pity, hey......"

"What about later?" Lu Tao asked impatiently on the side, "What happened to Senior Lu later?"

Li Yiyao said: "Later, Senior Lu wandered alone in the rivers and lakes. Because of the superb swordsmanship of Lu seniors, he is already a powerful martial arts, and his sword skills are a must, so the people in the martial arts gave Lu seniors a nickname, called 'Sword and Sword Heroes'. Since then, Senior Lu has relied on his 'Soul Breaking Sword Technique' to defeat many martial arts masters one after another, and it can be regarded as approaching the peak of martial arts, until one day ......"

"Until one day what?" Lu Tao asked curiously.

Wu Xian continued: "Until one day, Senior Lu met the mysterious female hero Gao Yinggao......"

"Gao Ying?" Lu Tao exclaimed, "Is ......it Gao Ying, the female swordsman who is the 'number one in the world' and one of the four saints of martial arts?"

Xu Shuang shook Lu Tao's head and said: "Taotao, don't talk so big and small, how can you say that Senior Gao was still a martial arts beauty fifty years ago!"

Li Yiyao added: "That's right, more importantly, Senior Lu and Senior Gao had a relationship fifty years ago!"

"Romance?" Lu Tao couldn't help but ask.

"Yes......" Li Yiyao continued, "but the real highlight is later. Fifty years ago, Senior Lu had love for Senior Gao, but Senior Gao did not have a good impression after learning about Senior Lu's origin. Senior Lu felt sad, so Senior Gao made a bet with Senior Lu that if Senior Lu could defeat him on the competition platform, he would marry him. ”

"It's not so much a bet, it's better to say that Senior Gao gave a war letter to Senior Lu......" Chen Shijin said on the side, "Senior Lu also readily agreed at that time, I'm afraid that he thinks that his dignified 'Sword Twin Heroes' will not be able to win against a weak woman who is not yet famous......"

Xiaohong continued: "But the opposite is true. That duel was held in front of many martial arts seniors, at that time, the head of the Wind Chasing faction, Shangguan Xianjian, died not long ago, and Lu seniors defeated most of the martial arts masters and even the martial arts supreme, so no matter who wins that duel, it will become recognized as 'the first in the world'. Looking at the duel process again, Lu Qingfeng and Lu's predecessors used their own peerless 'Soul Breaking Sword Technique', while Gao Yinggao's predecessors used their own 'Divine Dragon Nine Transformation Sword Technique'. The 'Soul Breaking Sword Technique' is extremely fast, like a shadow like the wind, and extremely fierce, and can dump mountains and rivers with a single split...... The two sides fought for 500 rounds, and when Senior Gao used the Zuihou style 'Dragon Roar Nine Days', Senior Lu couldn't parry, and Zuihou lost convincingly. ”

Xu Shuang continued: "So this marriage has not been concluded...... However, Gao seniors also won by a narrow margin, and it was not easy to win. It is said that the duel was called a shocking duel, and it was also an unprecedented and wonderful duel in the martial arts. After the competition, Gao Ying was recognized as the 'first in the world', but the two of them have been called the double saints in the martial arts by martial arts people, which is the origin of the 'Four Saints of Martial Arts'. After that, Gao Yinggao's predecessors retired because they were tired of the hustle and bustle of the rivers and lakes, and only appeared once at the 'Heroic Sword Meeting' once every ten years, while Lu Qingfeng Lu's predecessors joined Yixianmen, and now he has become an elder of Yixianmen. ”

After hearing this, Lu Tao pouted and said, "It turns out that Senior Lu still has such a relationship turmoil......"

Wu Xian said: "What's this, many martial arts seniors have had their own emotional journeys, like our Mo Sect has similar things, but ......"

"Wu Xian!" Xiaohong stopped Wu Xian, hearing the sensitive topic, as if she was deliberately trying to stop him.

Chen Shijin said: "It's okay, Sister Xiaohong, everyone in the martial arts knows about this matter." ”

"But ......" Xiaohong seemed to have something difficult to say, and Zuihou still said silently, "That...... Well......"

"Master Mo has experienced something similar before, right? What is it, Brother Wu Xian?" Lu Tao still couldn't wait to ask.

Wu Xian said: "Oh! Actually, this has to start with the origin of Master Mo. Mo Zhangmen's childhood was actually very tragic, his father died when he was born, and when he was five years old, his hometown flooded, and his mother was also killed in that flood. Therefore, Mo Zhangmen became an orphan when he was five years old. Later, it was Master Xuanqing of Wutai Mountain who adopted him and raised him as an adult. Due to the premature loss of his parents, Mo Zhangmen's personality is a little introverted. ”

Lu Tao asked, "Then what do you mean by 'similar'?"

Wu Xian continued: "This is also what I am going to talk about now. When Mo was twenty years old, he fell in love with Lin Yufei, the first beauty in martial arts at that time, but Lin Yufei did not love him, but fell in love with a scholar named Su Ren. ”

Speaking of this, Xiaohong suddenly became a little sad. Li Yiyao saw it and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you, Sister Xiaohong, are you uncomfortable?"

Xiaohong immediately came back to her senses and said, "Oh...... I'm fine, Yi Yao. Wu Xian, you go on. ”

Wu Xian continued: "Lin Yufei and Su Ren got married soon after falling in love, and later gave birth to a child. But...... But because of jealousy, Master Mo designed to kill Su Ren, and Lin Yufei has not been heard from since, his life and death are uncertain, and the whereabouts of their children have also been lost. ”

"What about later?" Lu Tao couldn't wait to ask again, "Master Mo killed that scholar named Su Ren, and he should be regarded as despised by the people of the rivers and lakes, but Weishenme has become the head of the Wind Chasing Sect?"

Wu Xian said: "That's because Master Mo also regretted what he had done, and was later confiscated by the Mongols in the Huguang area. After that, the rebel army defeated Chen Youliang, and Master Mo went through several tosses before coming to the Wind Chasing Faction. Zuihou was appreciated by Pang Feijian, the head of the Wind Chaser faction at that time, and gradually became the ...... of the current generation of wind chasers."

After hearing this, Lu Tao lowered his head and muttered, "I see, so ...... That's why Sister Xiaohong stopped what Brother Wu Xian said......"

Xu Shuang touched Lu Tao's head and said, "Taotao, these things must not be said in front of Master Mo, you know?"

Lu Tao nodded and said, "Well, I know!"

After talking so much about the past of the Wind Chaser faction, everyone began to clean up in earnest...... To be honest, although the Wind Chaser is beautiful and charming, it also makes people feel pitiful. Many martial arts predecessors are controlled by them because of the ancestral gang rules of the Wind Chasing School, and some are even persecuted by them. It is not difficult to see that everyone is imprisoned in this so-called "circle" of gang rules, and what they endure is spiritual depression, even if they are the unruly Lu Qingfeng Lu seniors, how can they not suffer such pain......

"Alright!" Xu Shuang said, "It's finally cleaned up, and we can go back." ”

Li Yiyao nodded and said, "Well, having said so much, in fact, the efficiency of doing things together is quite high......"

Xiaohong was expressionless and glazed on the side, as if she was thinking about something. Li Yiyao still noticed that something was wrong, so she asked: "Sister Xiaohong, what is wrong with you today, are you not feeling well?

Seeing this, Xiaohong hurriedly explained, "No...... Nothing more......"

"No!" Li Yiyao said sharply, "No, Sister Xiaohong, since I returned home yesterday afternoon, your behavior has been very strange, you must have something to hide from us, right? ”

"Oh...... I remembered......" Xiaohong said suddenly, "I had a cramp in my thigh when I went to carry the water yesterday afternoon, and it still hurts a little now......" She barely laughed a few times when she said it. It seems that Xiaohong may indeed have something unspeakable, she knows that Li Yiyao is smart and sensitive, so she quickly changed the topic as if trying to dispel it.

So they asked no more questions, and went home one by one. When they went back together, Li Yiyao's eyes never left Xiaohong......

"Oops, it's not good!" Li Yiyao's voice came from the crowd, "My bamboo flute fell to the ground and broke." It turned out that Li Yiyao had been paying attention to Xiaohong when she was walking, and she didn't pay attention to the bamboo flute that fell out of the package - the bamboo flute fell to the ground and broke.

Xu Shuang listened and said, "Why are you so careless? This is what Senior Brother Chen brought to you when he went to the city last time to do a mission. ”

Chen Shijin saw it, and smiled on the side: "It's okay, Yiyao! If you have time, I'll make another one for you myself!"

"Senior Brother Chen......" Li Yiyao's face flushed slightly......

Everyone gradually distanced themselves, the more lively Xu Shuang, Wu Xian and Lu Tao walked all the way, and Xiaohong wanted to avoid Li Yiyao for the time being because of what happened just now. So, she also walked ahead. And Chen Shijin and Li Yiyao walked behind and strolled.

Chen Shijin suddenly said: "Seriously, Yi Yao, when everyone talked about Lu Qingfeng and Lu seniors just now, I had a feeling of blood boiling!"

"What?" Li Yiyao didn't seem to understand what Chen Shijin meant, and asked puzzled.

Chen Shijin continued: "Senior Lu is a hero I admire! Actually, Yi Yao, I have been an orphan since I was a child, just like you, and I was later adopted and brought up by Master Mo, so Master Mo is also my benefactor. ”

Li Yiyao lowered her head and muttered, "It turns out that Senior Brother Chen also had the same experience as me......

"Yes!" Chen Shijin also said in a rough sigh, "But after I listened to the history of the Wind Chaser School, I began to admire the heroes of the Wind Chaser School. Like Shangguan Xianjian and Lu Qingfeng, these are the seniors I admire. So, since then, I have also been inspired to become a hero like them, and my greatest wish in life is to become a generation of heroes, with the world in mind and for the benefit of the people. Yi Yao, do you think I can make this wish come true?"

Li Yiyao looked up at Chen Shijin and said with a smile: "I believe Senior Brother Chen will definitely be able to do it!"

"Xiexie, you, Yi Yao, you have always cared so much about me...... Chen Shijin said, "Yi Yao, do you want to become a heroine like Gao Yinggao's predecessors in the future?"

Li Yiyao blushed and said, "Yes, of course I do, I also hope to be as ...... as Senior Brother Chen in the future."

"Really, that's good......" After a while, Chen Shijin sighed, "Hey......"

Li Yiyao asked again, "Senior Brother Chen, what are you sighing for?"

Chen Shijin said: "If there is turmoil today, the Mengyuan Dynasty and government continue to oppress the people, causing the people in the world to be in dire straits. But we and others are powerless to help, and we ...... sadly."

Li Yiyao also said: "Yes, I don't know when the Central Plains will be able to settle down......

Chen Shijin thought for a while and said: "I heard that the rebel army led by Zhu Yuanzhang was loved by the people everywhere he went. The rebel army is getting stronger and stronger, and it seems that it really deserves the hearts of the people......"

Li Yiyao didn't say anything more, just leaned close to Chen Shijin's side. The two of them walked towards the front with smiles on their faces, their hearts so happy......

Xiaohong looked back at the two of them: can they really be so happy forever......
