Lu Zhicheng and Xian Yunhuan stood on the Tianxian Pavilion and saw all this clearly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoLu Zhicheng said:

"Master, it seems that the rivers and lakes have a deep prejudice against me in Youyun Villa. If it weren't for your old man coming today, I don't think these people would have come like this. ”

Hyun Yunhuan raised his head, looked at the beautiful scenery of mountains and lakes around him, and asked suspiciously,

"Cheng'er, it is rumored on the rivers and lakes that Youyun Villa is mysterious and unpredictable, only living people enter, and no living people come out. What the hell is going on?"

Lu Zhicheng replied: "Don't hide it from Master, there is a Miyun Cave in Youyun Villa, which has many mechanisms, and for more than ten years, people have been trying to enter it, but they have not been able to get out alive. Although the apprentices have lived here for many years, they dare not rush in. I don't know when, this rumor began to appear on the rivers and lakes. Please be aware of Master. ”

"As long as you didn't kill people, you don't need to be afraid of these rumors. After today's Tianxian Pavilion breakfast banquet, these rumors naturally broke down. Hyun Yunhuan stroked his long white beard and said.

"Over the years, I've caught a few trespassers, but it won't be long before they're released. But the strange thing is that before they left the gate of Youyun Villa, they all died one by one. The apprentice is still puzzled. ”

"No wonder there are such rumors in the rivers and lakes. The leader of the alliance said, "Where do you usually keep these people?"

"The disciples locked them up near the Bishui Stream three miles away from the Limi Cloud Cave, so as to prevent them from sneaking into the cave to find treasure while my village was unprepared. ”

"Oh, then, take me another day to find out. ”

Le Yiyang has been living in the guest room for the past few days, and Lu Zhicheng will send someone over every day to serve food. Lai Jiyun will also come over the next day to ask for warmth. Lai Jiyun sometimes chats with her about some things on the rivers and lakes. From her mouth, he learned that Xian Yunhuan had already made a name for himself in the martial arts of the Central Plains when he was young, and the imperial court chased and killed the people in the martial arts in order to prevent people who practiced martial arts from gathering to cause trouble. Hyun Yunhuan also lived in seclusion in the deep mountains of Weizhou to temporarily avoid the edge. It didn't take long for the tyranny of the imperial court to be carried out in the country to the revolt of the heroes everywhere. For a time, the rebel army in the Central Plains suddenly rose. The whole country was in chaos. One of the rebels practiced benevolence everywhere and gradually grew stronger. In order to compete for the position of leader of the alliance, the other rebels constantly attacked him. Later, the Tang Dynasty took advantage of their internal strife to defeat the Rebel Alliance in Weizhou. The leader, Lu Guanyan, was unfortunately killed in the process of breaking through. Lu Guanyan and Hyun Yunhuan are inseparable friends. As early as before retreating from Weizhou, Lu Guanyan asked Xian Yunhuan to take his eight-year-old son Lu Zhicheng to his other garden Youyun Villa in Luzhou. Later, Hsien Yunhuan taught Lu Zhicheng's martial arts at Youyun Villa's Thousand Lines Sword Technique, and passed on his own martial arts to him.

Lai Jiyun is a close disciple of Hyun Yunhuan. She was originally the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Luzhou. Lai's is usually kind and charitable, and Xian Yunhuan once received the favor of her family when he was in trouble. Later, when Ji Yun's family came to the middle of the Luzhou rebellion, his family fell into the middle of the road. Her father entrusted her to Hyun Yoon-hwan before he died. Seeing that she was lonely, Hyun Hwan took her to Youyun Villa and taught her how to learn swords when he had time. Xian Yunhuan is in the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, most of the time he walks on the rivers and lakes, and rarely goes to Youyun Villa, most of the time Lu Zhicheng takes care of Ji Yun instead of him. Therefore, Lu Zhicheng and Lai Jiyun are like brothers and sisters.

Le Yiyang will also talk to Ji Yun about the things on the border of Taiyuan. Lai Jiyun listened patiently to his words every time. The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, and they just wished they could not meet earlier.

A few days later, Xian Yunhuan had lunch and walked in the village, and suddenly remembered what he said to Lu Zhicheng last time, so he asked Lu Zhicheng to arrange to go to Bishui Jian and Miyun Cave to find out.

"You can take Yun'er and the son from Taiyuan with you. ”

Lu Zhicheng had no choice but to obey the order and sent people to invite Ji Yun and Le Yiyang respectively.

Lu Zhicheng took a team of attendants, accompanied Xian Yunhuan and others out of Huijing Lake, and went west for eight miles, and arrived at Bishui Stream. There are several thatched huts scattered here, all built on the waterfront. When I walked in, I found that it was empty.

Lu Zhicheng explained:

"Since the rise of rumors in the rivers and lakes, there have been no people living here. ”

Hyun Yoon-hwan walked along the house several times, and then said to everyone:

"Do you see anything out of the ordinary?"

Lu Zhicheng and Lai Jiyun both shook their heads. At this time, I only heard Le Yiyang answer,

"If this place is built near the water, there must be more snakes than elsewhere. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake and do not receive timely treatment, it will take less than an hour to delay for several months, and you will die of poison. ”

Hyun Yoon-hwan was silent, and did pick up a piece of snakeskin from the grass. The crowd hurriedly retreated, only to hear the joy of singing,

"Don't be alarmed, it's late autumn and the snake is already dormant in its hole. ”

Hyun Yoon-hwan asked with a smile,

"Le Gongzi lives on the border of Taiyuan all the year round, so he must know what kind of snake this is, right?"

Le Yiyang approached and carefully observed the pattern of the snake, and then said,

"This snake is not born in Luzhou, but is a red-headed snake in the party, commonly known as the seven-day down. If you are bitten by this snake, within seven days, if there is no antidote, you will die of poison. ”

Lu Zhicheng listened to it and was puzzled:

"The party is eight hundred miles away from Luzhou, how can there be such a snake here?"

"Could it be that someone deliberately brought this snake to Luzhou?" asked Lai Jiyun.

At this time, Lu Zhicheng said:

"If we are really bitten by these seven days, and I Luzhou does have such an antidote, then we are not waiting for the snake venom to attack in vain and cannot do anything. ”

Lu Gongzi's words are different. The antidote to this type of snake venom is not hard to come by. Simply take the red-headed snake to bite the rat, then collect the rat's blood, dry it in the hot sun, and grind it into a powder for emergencies. ”

Xian Yunhuan nodded and said, "Le Gongzi is worthy of being a hero among people, and he saved hundreds of people in Luzhou in a few words." ”

Lai Jiyun also cast an approving glance at Le Yiyang.

Seeing this, Le Yiyang said modestly, "I have only been in Taiyuan for many years, and I only know a little about one or two." ”

Lu Zhicheng saw that Le Yiyang was indeed talented, and found that everyone had a good impression of him. So the way;

"Le Gongzi is handsome, and it is indeed my honor to meet in Luzhou this time. If Le Gongzi doesn't dislike it, he hopes to stay in the cold house for a few more days, and Yu will have important matters to discuss with Gongzi later. ”

"Thank you Lu Gongzi for your kindness, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate. Le Yiyang replied.

While the two were talking, Hyun Yun-hwan proposed to go to Miyun Cave to find out. So Lu Zhicheng led everyone towards Miyun Cave again.

When I left the blue water stream and walked north for half a pillar of incense, I saw a barren mountain. This is the northernmost part of Yoyun Villa. The mountains are overgrown with weeds and wild trees swaying in the wind, which is incompatible with the landscape of Youyun Villa. Although it was noon, it was much darker than usual. Everyone walked along the stone road, and on the side of the road, half a mile away from the mountain, a broken stone tablet was erected, and the word "Miyun" could be vaguely identified from the inscription. After walking up the mountain for half an hour, you will arrive at the gate of Miyun Cave. The entrance to the cave has been sealed with boulders.

Lu Zhicheng said to Xian Yunhuan: "Since there have been several murders here, the disciples have sealed the entrance of the cave. Xian Yunhuan was very satisfied with Lu Zhicheng's words, and praised: "Cheng'er can have such thoughts, and I am very happy for the teacher." He said to Ji Yun again: "You have been in Youyun Villa for many years, so you must also have this thought." Lai Jiyun knew that the master was good for himself, so he took the master's hand and said, "What the master teaches is that Yun'er must learn more from the senior brother." ”

Seeing that the three of them were talking happily, Le Yiyang also stepped forward and asked, "Master Xianmeng, now that the entrance to the cave has been sealed, what should we do next?" Xian Yunhuan smiled and said to Lu Zhicheng: "Cheng'er, what do you see?" Lu Zhicheng glanced at Master and Le Yiyang, and replied, "Since you are here, you have to go in and find out." ”

After saying that, Lu Zhicheng motioned for everyone to step back, and slowly pulled out the Qingyun Xuankong Sword that he carried with him from his waist. Le Yiyang saw Lu Zhicheng's feet tap the ground, and then jumped straight into the air, swinging left and right, and the sword qi went straight to the entrance of the cave. Then I heard a click, and the boulder at the entrance of the cave had collapsed.

Le Yiyang had to marvel at the power of that sword, and at the same time admired Lu Zhicheng's perfect swordsmanship. He looked around at the crowd and saw that everyone but him seemed calm.

At this time, Lai Jiyun said: "Senior brother's swordsmanship is so exquisite, next time I will have more sisters." Lu Zhicheng said with a smile: "Senior sister has won the award, the swordsmanship I usually teach you is enough for you to defend yourself." Lai Jiyun deliberately pouted, and said softly: "Senior brother, if there is a big chaos today, the people in the rivers and lakes are sinister, where is it enough to defend themselves?" Lu Zhicheng said: "Girls are still good at their duty, and the things that fight and kill in the rivers and lakes are all done by men." Lai Jiyun was speechless and looked at the master for help.

Xian Yunhuan laughed and said, "Yun'er, what your senior brother said is right, I think you should stay in Youyun Villa honestly." Lai Jiyun glanced at Le Yiyang, only to see that he was thoughtful, and he didn't say anything more. Hyun Yunhuan saw it in his heart and thought: "It seems that my apprentice doesn't want to stay here for the rest of his life, this handsome boy has come back, sooner or later he will elope with him, it is better to agree to her." Otherwise, when the time comes, they elope and spread to the rivers and lakes, where will I have the face to be a master?"

After pondering for a moment, he said to Lu Zhicheng: "Cheng'er, I heard that your swordsmanship has improved a lot compared to before, and now you should be impressed. Lu Zhicheng said modestly, "The apprentice practices swordsmanship, and he doesn't dare to slack off." Now it is a little successful, all thanks to the careful teachings of the master back then. Xian Yunhuan nodded with satisfaction, stroked his long beard with his hand, and said slowly: "Youyun Villa has been managed by you for many years, and it is really difficult for you. Now that your martial arts have made great progress, you are enough to take on the heavy responsibility of being the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. When this matter passes, Master can retire with peace of mind. ”

Lu Zhicheng asked, "Why is Master in a hurry to remove the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?" Xian Yunhuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are talents in the Jiangshan Dynasty, and now it's time for you to come forward." Lu Zhicheng said: "Cheng must remember the master's teachings and vow to revitalize the Central Plains martial arts!" After that, he turned back to Ji Yun and said, "Senior sister, I also hope you can help me." Lai Jiyun was stunned for a moment, and said in a coquettish voice: "Senior brother is strong in martial arts, how can there be any matter of our girls in the rivers and lakes." ”

As soon as Ji Yun's words fell, the group laughed.
