Chapter 3: Laughing at Heroes (I)
Seventeen years of spring branches and autumn leaves, prosperous like a dream to spend the empty year......
Fang Zhongtian fulfilled his promise this time, and this has been flying for seventeen years......
On the top of the mountain where Yixian Gate is located, there is a platform dedicated to helping people in the house to announce major events or idle chess. Today, the sun is soft and the breeze is wrong with the forest, which is suitable for people to write poems and songs outside and enjoy the scenery by the lake.
On the rooftop, two people are playing chess. The black one on the left is about forty years old, his face is calm, revealing a sense of strength. His hair is also sparse with a few "white seedlings", with most of the rest of the black hair, it looks vicissitudes of life; the person on the right is about seventy years old, and his face is already full of wrinkles, but his deep eyes can give people a sense of awe. His hair had long since turned gray, as if it had worn out the vicissitudes of time, and a boy in white stood between the two, and from time to time the boy poured wine for the two who were playing chess......
In this good situation, the two played chess and chatted at the same time. I only heard the white-haired old man on the right say: "How leisurely and leisurely is Master Fang today, willing to drink wine and play chess with the old man?"
The person on the left also said slowly: "Senior Lu smiled, the junior finished the chores of the gang early today, and he came to play chess with the senior." ”
It turned out that the two players in the chess game were Fang Zhongtian, the head of Yixian Gate, and Lu Qingfeng, the elder of Yixian Gate. Today, Fang Zhongtian finished handling the big and small affairs in the gang, and took advantage of the leisure in the afternoon to play chess with Elder Lu Qingfeng Lu on the rooftop. The white-clothed boy next to him was Fang Zhongtian's attendant.
The two had just started the game, so there were a lot of things to talk about. And the two of them play chess very slowly, so they must not be all on the chessboard. Lu Qingfeng raised the small cup, took a sip first, then twisted his fingers, pinched his fingers and said, "It's been seventeen years, presumably in the past seventeen years, the head of the family has never left Ying'er for a moment, right?"
Fang Zhongtian sighed and said, "Hey, yes, but in another year, Ying'er should come back...... I really hope that she can live happily when she comes back, after all, Ying'er hasn't enjoyed family affection for seventeen years. She is very pitiful, and she must have suffered a lot in the past seventeen years...... As a father, I owe her so much......" Fang Zhongtian wanted to cry a little.
Lu Qingfeng comforted: "The boss is too sad! As long as Ying'er can come back safely, this emotional turmoil will be over, and everything will start again." People, you always have to look in the direction of haode!"
Fang Zhongtian smiled: "Yes, it's a good thing that Ying'er can come back, why should I be sad......?"
Lu Qingfeng picked up a white son and continued: "But then again, in the seventeen years that Ying'er was away, the head of the sect has been wholeheartedly rectifying the help, and Yixianmen is now becoming more and more prosperous day by day!" After speaking, he put the chess pieces on the chessboard.
Fang Zhongtian drank a glass of wine and asked the waiter to fill it again, then turned his head and said, "The prosperity of Yixian Sect is not the strength of Fang alone, it is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Don't you see, the four hall masters, the top ten elites, and many gangs in the gang, who hasn't contributed wholeheartedly to the gang over the years?"
Lu Qingfeng said with a smile: "What the head of the house said is true, but what makes the old man admire is that the head of the house is much more mature and stable than when he first became the head of the house!"
Fang Zhongtian also gave a son, and then said: "People, as you get older, of course you have to be steady!" Then, he laughed softly.
Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng also touched his beard and laughed on the side.
"Speaking ......of governing the gang," Fang Zhongtian said again, "Shangguan Xianjian, the first head of the Wind Chasing Sect, has always been a senior I admire......
"You said the old man's former teacher?" Lu Qingfeng frowned.
"Yes...... Fang Zhongtian said in his mouth, "'Everyone has a righteous heart, everyone is a hero'......"
"Master Shangguan's famous words, is it?" Lu Qingfeng continued, "Speaking of which, it's been a long time......" After speaking, Lu Qingfeng sighed softly.
"Shangguan Xianjian and Xuanqing Master Yu Canglong were once the three highly respected predecessors of martial arts, and their warning words have been passed down to the world and praised by future generations. Fang Zhongtian continued, "Canglong prophesied that 'those who are human beings, do not do things of theft and adultery, do not think of hurting the heavens and harming reason, only abide by the way of the common people, the people are also, not chivalrous; punish evil and promote good, eliminate traitors, but do not take the world in their hearts, chivalrous and non-heroic; only do not do evil, eliminate atrocities, and have the world in mind, and take the calmness of the common people as their own responsibility, this hero is also." Then Master Xuanqing said, "To save the world, only the people's hearts want." The common people are saved, but the change of one generation, 'divided for a long time, will be divided for a long time', the people's will will not change, and the reincarnation of the world will not change. It is better to return to the homeland, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, this way of eternal life. 'Zuihou Shangguan Xianjian said, 'Everyone has a righteous heart, everyone is a hero', and now it seems that the world is as the predecessors said. ”
Lu Qingfeng sighed: "The tyranny of Yuan and Mongolia, the people are not happy, and now is the time of war and chaos, the court is in turmoil, and wars are frequent...... This is what Master Xuanqing said!"
"Haha!" Fang Zhongtian laughed softly, "As the saying goes, 'heroes are born in troubled times'! The birth of heroes is to go through strong winds and waves, Zhu Yuanzhang raised an army against the Yuan, and he will go north soon, and heroes rise together, this is what Shangguan's predecessors said." ”
Lu Qingfeng said with a smile: "In this way, the words of the head are not unreasonable. ”
Fang Zhongtian closed his eyes lightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "Speaking of heroes in the world, I think of the heroes of the world in the past!"
Lu Qingfeng touched his beard and said, "The head of the family said twenty or even fifty years ago, right?"
Fang Zhongtian drank a small glass of wine and said with a smile: "Yes, with the appearance of the Four Saints and Seven Heroes of the Martial Arts in the past, the martial arts can be described as an unprecedented grand scene!"
Lu Qingfeng also knew that Fang Zhongtian was talking about himself, so he responded with a smile: "It's a pity, in this generation, it is difficult to find anyone who can match the 'Four Saints and Seven Heroes'!"
"I'm kind of tempted to reminisce. Fang Zhongtian said, "The heroic demeanor of the past is still vivid. ”
Lu Qingfeng also began to think and said, "When the head says this, I also think of a person. After saying that, a melancholy smile appeared on his face.
Fang Zhongtian had a son and said, "Senior Lu must be missing Senior Gao, right?"
Lu Qingfeng saw that his mind was pierced by Fang Zhongtian, so he smiled embarrassedly: "That's right, I ...... about what happened fifty years ago."
"Haha!" Fang Zhongtian chuckled softly, "Senior Lu is embarrassed?"
Lu Qingfeng sighed and said, "Hey, I'm old anyway, what's so embarrassing?"
Fang Zhongtian continued: "Fifty years ago, Senior Lu, you had an agreement with Senior Gao Ying, saying that as long as Lu Qingfeng can beat Senior Gao in martial arts, Senior Gao will marry you! It's a pity that ......."
"It's a pity that I, the former chief disciple of the Wind Chasing Sect, lost to Gao Ying, a woman who was not famous fifty years ago!" Lu Qingfeng said ashamedly.
Fang Zhongtian said: "However, the battle fifty years ago was said to be an earth-shattering duel, and Senior Lu's 'Soul Breaking Sword Technique' and Senior Gao's 'Divine Dragon Nine Transformation Sword Technique' collided together, and its deterrent power could be described as 'earth-shattering Crying Ghosts and Gods'. ”
"It's a pity that Gao Ying is still better than me!" Lu Qingfeng sighed, "But then I made an agreement with Gao Ying, saying that if the two sides have their own disciples in the future, they must one day compete in the 'Hero Sword Trial Meeting'!"
"That bet is called 'Jianghu Bo' on the rivers and lakes, it seems that Senior Lu is still unwilling!" Fang Zhongtian smiled, and then said, "But Senior Lu doesn't seem to have accepted disciples until now, right, then how do you fulfill your promise?"
"Yes, the old man also wants to accept disciples, but I hope this person is an extraordinary person!" Lu Qingfeng sighed first, and then his expression suddenly became serious, "Actually, I had this plan before Yujian Gao Ying, it depends on whether there is this fate......" Lu Qingfeng's eyes seemed to glow sharply.
But Fang Zhongtian didn't pay attention to this scene, but after listening to Lu Qingfeng's words, he said: "Later, Senior Lu, you and Senior Gao were included in the ranks of the Saints of Martial Arts, after all, the martial arts of the two seniors were unmatched in the world at that time!"
Lu Qingfeng saw that Fang Zhongtian was praising himself, so he smiled and said: "The head of the family is smiling, in fact, people who learn martial arts pay attention to a 'heart', and the strength of martial arts also lies in the imbalance of the 'heart'!"
"Is it?Senior Lu's words really benefited the juniors a lot!" Fang Zhongtian said, "In addition to you and the two elders of the Four Saints of Martial Arts, there are also Lu Huan and Zuo Tianang, the current head of the Huashan Sect, ......."
"Lu Huan?" Lu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "That old guy likes to cause trouble everywhere, and he has never done a serious thing. When I was young, I heard Shangguan's predecessors say that when Lu Huan was a disciple of Master Xuanqing, he liked to be fierce and aggressive all day long; Later, when he was twenty years old, he went out of the mountain, and he didn't know where he came from, so he turned to study the poisons in the world and created a set of poisonous attacks, which caused a sensation in the entire martial arts, and it is really incomprehensible that this kind of person has become the saint of martial arts!"
"hahahaha!" Fang Zhongtian listened to it and laughed loudly, "The seniors' evaluation of him is really interesting! Actually, theoretically speaking, 'poison' is also a kind of martial arts, and Lu Huan's predecessor's martial arts are so high, besides, his so-called 'no serious business' is just a trivial matter, and it has little impact, so it is not surprising that he is promoted to be the saint of martial arts!"
"Hahahaha!" Lu Qingfeng also became daxiao when he heard this, "Actually, I also know that Lu Huan's poisonous attack is not useless. This old guy is not good at anything, but just one thing, he is very righteous, and he has never repented of what he promised his friends!"
Fang Zhongtian continued: "I know that Senior Lu laughs every time he mentions Senior Lu...... so Fang Zhongtian laughs again.
Lu Qingfeng's laughter hadn't stopped, but it was much smaller than just now. "Gao Ying and I have studied the old guy's martial arts many times in the 'Hero Sword Trial Meeting', and then I made some improvements in the sword technique, targeting the old guy, and Gao Ying worked the medical skills she was good at, and it is said that the old guy's every poison Gao Ying can unravel......"
"Then Senior Lu has engraved news on the rivers and lakes recently?" Fang Zhongtian asked, "After all, Senior Lu haunts the rivers and lakes more than Senior Lu and Senior Gao. ”
"A little. Lu Qingfeng said, "That old guy once accepted a disciple named 'Liu Jinquan'. ”
Fang Zhongtian was shocked: "Is it Liu Jinquan Liu Gongzi, who has recently appeared on the rivers and lakes and is called 'Shadowless Divine Sword'?"
"That's good!" replied Lu Qingfeng.
"Everyone else says that the 'Shadowless Divine Sword' Liu Jinquan is superb in martial arts, but I haven't seen it yet!" Fang Zhongtian sighed.
Lu Qingfeng then said: "I have seen him, he does have two hands, just like the Fengwen of the disciples of this gang seventeen years ago. It's a pity that Fengwen has the world in mind and is chivalrous and upright, but Liu Jinquan is unscrupulous, occupying one side and oppressing the people.
Fang Zhongtian heard this, and deliberately teased: "Even Senior Lu has accepted disciples, and Senior Lu will not accept disciples again, your old martial arts will be peerless!"
Lu Qingfeng was hit by Fang Zhongtian again, so he took a sip of stuffy wine and said, "The old man said, if I accept disciples, I must be different, and there must be fate...... Alright, alright, don't mention that old fellow, I'll be bad luck listening to him!"
"Hahahaha!" Fang Zhongtian couldn't help but daxiao again, "Okay, okay, let's not mention him, let's talk about the Zuihou of the Four Saints of Martial Arts, the head of the Huashan faction, Zuo Tianang Zuo's senior!"
Lu Qingfeng saw that Fang Zhongtian had changed the topic, so he was a little more comfortable. When he heard "Zuo Tianang," Lu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Zuo Tianang can be regarded as a hero! In the past twenty or thirty years, Zuo Zhang's Huashan faction has been in full swing. At the age of thirty, he became the head of the Huashan faction, and under his management, the Huashan faction became the first righteous gang in martial arts. ”
Fang Zhongtian said: "Not only that, many major events in the martial arts, such as the martial arts conference and the sword meeting, are all handled by the people of the Huashan faction. Don't look at our Yixianmen who don't do idle things, if we want to do some important things to call on the heroes, we really can't compare to the Huashan faction. ”
"That's all the magic of the head of the left sect!" Lu Qingfeng took a step and said, "Zuo Tianang's martial arts are also a must, I remember that the head of the Yixian Sect, Meng Yumeng, once praised Zuo Tianang's world-beating skills and chivalrous heart, isn't such a person a hero?"
Fang Zhongtian lowered his head and said thoughtfully: "I have also heard Master Meng say that his 'Dragon and Tiger Overlord Fist' and the 'Splitting Empty Palm' of the left seniors can be regarded as high and low. And the left seniors have such a chivalrous heart, and they are also the objects that the younger generations should learn!"
Lu Qingfeng touched his beard and said with a smile: "In the world now, there are not many heroic and righteous people like Zuo Zhangmen!"
Fang Zhongtian said again: "Looking at the four saints of martial arts, although your elders and Gao seniors have peerless martial arts, they are hidden in the world due to personal grievances, and they are not enough to be heroes; Of course, the younger generation also did not mean to slander Lu seniors and other seniors. Fang Zhongtian was afraid that he would say something against his ears in front of Senior Lu, but he still explained it later.
