Chapter 4: The First Entry

To the north of Cuiwei Peak is a primeval forest. The www.biquge.info towering trees are all over the place, the age of the trees is hundreds of thousands of years, the branches and leaves are dense, covering the sky and the sun, but it looks so eerie and terrifying, mysterious and unpredictable, so few people in the local area go to this forest, the real inaccessible place, but there is another world in the forest, there are both strange flowers and fruits hanging from the yul, and there are all kinds of rare and exotic beasts to inhabit, full of vitality and fun.

The sunset is shining, and the breeze blows through this seemingly quiet primeval forest, and the branches and branches of each branch and leaf on leaf rise and fall with the wind, like green blue waves rolling.

Above the waves, a green shadow stepped on the "waves", a vertical and a jump, from time to time, the body is light, the clothes are fluttering, like a big bird in this forest jumping and shuttling, and this large area of green sets off each other, it seems to be eye-catching in all places, if there are ordinary people to see, they really want to mistake it for the fairy descended to earth.

This green shadow is the Broken Cloud Iron that escorted Guo Yu back to the South Peak.

At this time, he jumped from the top of the tree to the ground, and walked a few miles along a forest path, only to see that the scenery in front of him changed completely, the terrain suddenly opened, the trees of various kinds of chaotic varieties on both sides all became stout, towering cedar trees, the largest of which was on the cedar tree, there was a tree layer, more than ten zhang high from the ground, the tree house took the main trunk and branches of the giant tree as the pillars, and took the branches, logs, rattan as the material, and cleverly built it; A small platform made of logs, on which a rope ladder the size of an arm and wrist and made of vines is attached, which hangs down from the tree house to the ground, and is used for up and down.

When he arrived at the bottom of the tree house, Broken Cloud Tie happily shouted, "Master, the apprentice is back." After saying that, he climbed the rattan ladder, and after a few clicks, he went up to the tree house.

"Tie'er is back, why did you come back at dusk today?" replied to an old man, his voice was old and rich, and full of love, only to see an old man in a shabby robe, who was already over his old age, paced out of the back room, the old man was a little thin, his beard was white, his face was full of red light, and a pair of deep eyes were bright and restrained, only revealing the vicissitudes of those years.

Broken Yuntie bowed respectfully and said: "Master, when the apprentice passed through the southwest today, he met a medicine boy by chance, and when he saw that he fell from the broken end, he came to the rescue, and he fell in love with this medicine boy, and saw that he was young, so he escorted him back to the south peak and then turned back, and missed some hours. ”

The old man smiled and said: "Supporting the weak and saving people in danger is not in vain for the teacher's teaching, hehe." ”

"Thank you master for the compliment, I hunted a few hares in vain, and when I roasted them, I honored your old man. So saying, he carried a few hares out of the tree house, and instead of taking the ladder, he jumped down, stepping on one branch, and then down to another, and so on a few times before he landed.

The old man looked at the back of Duan Yuntie and nodded, and smiled.

Broken Cloud Tie trotted all the way, and then arrived at the mouth of a cave, outside the mouth of the cave is a flat and open lawn, there are stone tables, stone benches, and many branches and forks of tree poles and living utensils, there are wooden benches and earthen stoves in the cave, which should be complete with grain, rice, meat and jerky, etc., it turned out to be a place for the master and apprentice to store, cook and eat.

Broken Cloud Iron lit a fire in the earthen stove at the entrance of the cave to cook rice, and set up a tree branch to roast rabbit meat on the side, and for half an hour, the cave was already full of aroma.

The sky is getting dark, the candlelight in the cave is swaying, clear and beautiful, the old and the young will eat in the cave, but also happy.

After the meal, the old man said to Jieyun Tie: "Tie'er, you have been a teacher since you were five years old, and now you can be regarded as a small success, hehe." ”

"Master, the apprentice's skills are shallow, not as good as the master. ”

"Tie'er, now that you are eighteen years old, you are in the prime of your youth, when you are in high spirits, the husband must be ambitious, not to mention famous, but also to achieve a career, you can't always stay in this barren mountains and mountains with your teacher, and do nothing. ”

"Master...... I would like to serve your old man all the time......"

"As a teacher, you are already a person who is about to die, how can you mistake your youth. ”

"Master......" Broken Cloud Tie was a little overwhelmed.

"On weekdays, the teacher often talks to you about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. The old man interrupted Broken Cloud Iron.

"The master talked about all the rivers and lakes, anecdotes, and anecdotes, and the disciples were not interested, and they knew it in their hearts early. ”

"But you know very little about the things of this world. ”

"The apprentice listened to the master's teachings. ”

"Today's imperial court, successive years of conquest of Khitan, Guhun, Goryeo, wars; this Emperor Yang is also happy with great achievements, extravagant, construction of canals, construction of luxury palaces, hundreds of people are forced to abandon agriculture to join the conscription, heavy military service, conscription and taxation make the people of Li people in dire straits, fleeing from the famine and exile in all directions countless people, starving for thousands of miles, corpses are all over the field. ”

"Such a faint king will not last long. Broken Cloud Iron gritted his teeth on the side.

"Tomorrow, you go down the mountain to do a big thing for the teacher. ”

"The master has an explanation, and the apprentice must do his best to do it. ”

"Today's Ministry of Rites Shangshu Gu Xuanzhao, his father is the former Northern Zhou Chariot Riding General Gu Su, and the teacher has a very good relationship, two years ago when the teacher traveled, had a relationship with the ancient people, thanks to the love, the old decay as a guest, talk about the world'......s affairs;

"Master, is it advisable for Lord Gu to make plans as soon as possible?" Broken Yuntie listened attentively and couldn't help interjecting.

"This is exactly what the teacher meant at that time, and the so-called time is not waiting for me. ”

"What the master said is, how can Master Gu ......?"

"The reason why the adults did not start an incident when they were fighting against foreign enemies was because they were afraid that the foreign fishermen would benefit, and secondly, they did not want this life to be ruined, so they hesitated for a while. ”

Broken Cloud Tie couldn't help but praise: "My lord has pity on all living beings, he has great virtue, and he is a true hero." ”

The old man sighed: "But I don't know that a person with a benevolent heart like him can hardly become a hegemon." ”

"Why did the master say this?"

"For the whole life of a teacher, throughout the three dynasties, but whenever the change of the dynasty becomes a great thing, it must be a resolute and ruthless person; Lord Gu is in Liyang all the year round, and the whole family is also with the army, if there is an accident, it will be destroyed. ”

"Master, you don't want to admonish Master Gu again, do you?"

"Definitely. The old man shook his head and said: "This Emperor Yang of Sui is very suspicious by nature, and he is extremely suspicious, and most of the people in the court are jealous of the virtuous and jealous, greedy for life and afraid of death, but I am afraid that the ancient adults have no chance to take advantage of it." The man paused and then said: "That Gu Lord has a son under his knees, named Jianqiu, who has been counted as five out of ten, this son is talented and intelligent, has an extraordinary temperament, and is the queen of the gate, when he is really a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, since he was a child, he is proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy, painting, and the art of war, and he is naturally a rare material for practicing martial arts;

However, Gu Daren was too stubborn, and was not allowed to be a teacher, in order not to miss the time of the ancient son, the teacher had to leave when he silently meditated a few chapters of the art of vomiting, and gave him the mouth, so that he could learn the introductory method as soon as possible, he only said that this is a technique of strengthening the body and cultivating one's self-cultivation, so he gladly agreed, and then explained to him, if he is in trouble in the future, he can send someone to Dali Cuiwei Peak to find me. ”

In this way, the apprentice already has a disciple. Broken Cloud Iron smiled.

"That's still early, I've only accepted two disciples in my life, and for decades, I haven't accepted any other disciples except Tie'er. ”

"That must be the cultivation of the disciple in his previous life, hehe, do I still have a senior brother? Why did the master never talk to me? The senior brother must also be a heroic character. Broken Cloud Tie looked curious.

"Your elder brother was ...... twenty years ago The past is fleeting, don't mention it. A trace of imperceptible sadness flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said: "Now that the princes of all walks of life are standing on the dragon plate, the edge is boiling, and the dynasty has reached the time of life and death. ”

Broken Yuntie couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that this Emperor Yang is mediocre, and it's a pity that Lord Gu is a hero." ”

"Tie'er, you listen well, for the teacher wants you to go to Liyang, if Lord Gu has suffered an accident, you will definitely find the life and death of Gu Gongzi, if the disaster does not come, you can go to meet Lord Gu, and will be dedicated to the teacher's handwriting, I only recommend you to be an envoy in the book, Lord Gu will arrange for you to enter the military camp, so that you can secretly protect Gu Gongzi and his family, and then make a decision according to the situation, if there is a danger, try to persuade the adults to allow you to take Gu Gongzi away. ”

"The apprentice vows to find the ancient prince and bring him back to see the master, but when will he go?"

"Without further ado, you will pack up tonight and leave early tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes, master. ”

After the two returned to the tree house, after Broken Cloud Tie entered the room, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and he felt a lot of feelings, thinking that since he was a child, he and his master lived in seclusion in this Cuiwei Peak, and occasionally went out with the master, but he had never set foot in the rivers and lakes.

In the early morning of the next day, Broken Cloud Tie got up early and came to the master's room to say goodbye: "Master, the apprentice has prepared a soft and soft child, and I have come to say goodbye to the master."

"Tie'er, come in"

When Jieyuntie entered the house, he saw the master sitting on the bed with his eyes slightly closed, so he bowed down.

The old man looked at the broken cloud iron on the tiger's back and said: "In the past ten years, you have done your best to be a true teacher, you have a calm temperament, a benevolent heart, a strong physique, and your qualifications are also excellent. The method of emptiness and the contemplation of the palm complement each other, and must go hand in hand. When you go, whenever you have leisure, you must practice the internal strength and master the method diligently, and you must not make mistakes. ”

"Yes......"

"Tie'er, this trip is thousands of miles, everything is like this, you must distinguish between right and wrong, remember the way of chivalry, punish the strong and help the weak, with your current skills, you are enough to deal with the first-class masters on the rivers and lakes, but you must not see no one, you must know that there are people outside the sky; ”

"The apprentice respects the master's teachings. ”

The old man took out another jade bottle and said: "Here are six 'Nine Systems and Eight Pills', which are refined by Zhang Zhongjing, a divine doctor of the Western Han Dynasty.

Broken Yuntie took the jade bottle letter and put it in his arms, thanked the master, and thought that he was going to say goodbye to the master and go to the rivers and lakes alone, he couldn't help but burst into tears, knelt down and knocked his head three times and said: "The apprentice is leaving, and he will not dishonor the master's life and take the little junior brother ...... Gu Gongzi brought back Cuiwei Peak, master take care!"

The old man didn't say a word, only waved his hand, and Broken Cloud Iron turned around and walked out of the tree house, jumped down again, and roared away.
