Chapter 019: The Grass Fragrance on the Shore of the Han River
It's summer.
When the floods receded, many refugees made their way home, but many more starved to death on the side of the road, blending into the dust. Flesh and blood fertilize the land, hoping for a good harvest in the coming year, at least so that people can live.
Li Chun also gradually became idle, he saw that Zhao Yu had already become uneasy, so he talked with him all day long, instilling some knowledge of the rivers and lakes. Although Li Chun's ambition is not in the rivers and lakes, he has traveled all over the world when he was young, so he is no stranger to the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and he is far from being comparable to Chen Bajin and other nonsense.
On this day, when it comes to the various major schools in the martial arts, Li Chun said: "Today, if you talk about the inheritance of martial arts, there are six major schools. Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun, Emei, Huashan, Kongtong, and the rest of the factions, although the inheritance of the exercises are quite impressive, are not as deep-rooted and profound as these six major factions. ”
"What about Mingjiao?" Zhao Yu asked.
Li Chun thought for a moment and said, "Mingjiao, many years ago, it flourished, but it has disappeared all these years. The six major factions call Mingjiao a demon sect, and they will suppress it in many ways. However, Mingjiao Ye has deep roots, and no matter which faction it is, it may not be the opponent of Mingjiao, and these famous and decent sects have a special opinion, and they will not join forces to deal with Mingjiao, and they have survived over the years. ”
He also said: "The world's martial arts, especially Shaolin." Shaolin seventy-two stunts, famous all over the world. However, at the moment, the most prestigious martial arts master in the martial arts is not the monk of Shaolin Temple, but Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Zhenren of the Wudang faction!"
"Zhang Sanfeng?"
Li Chun nodded and said, "Not bad." Speaking of which, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that this Zhang Sanfeng is really from Shaolin, but he doesn't know what twists and turns there are, and he actually left Shaolin to create a great reputation of the Wudang faction and hid in Shaolin. The inside story is just speculation by outsiders, but it is difficult to tell clearly. ”
"This Zhang Sanfeng is really a great character!" Zhao Yu sighed.
Li Chun smiled and said: "The most remarkable thing is that Zhang Zhenren has a long life, and he is now over 100 years old. Speaking of which, the so-called martial arts cultivation, in addition to talent and qualifications, is indispensable for years of polishing. Zhang Zhenren has been famous in the world for decades, and who dares to say that he can beat him today?"
Hearing this strange thing, Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh and said: "Life is called Rui at the age of 100, and in today's world, that Zhang Zhenren is still alive and well, which is really amazing." It can be seen that the prosperous era is auspicious, but it is just a joke written by literati. ”
Zhao Yu has been in Lijiazhuang for more than a month, and he has won the inheritance of the Li family's flying knife. Although he has not yet reached Li Chun's attainments, he is not far from Li Chengru, and his internal strength is more exquisite than Li Chengru, and the power of the flying knife in his hand far exceeds that of Li Chengru. It can be seen that the martial arts moves have not yet reached the realm of Dacheng, and it is still necessary to rely on internal force to be more secure.
After getting along for more than a month, Li Chun has gained a lot from Zhao Yu, especially Zhao Yu is very good at Taoist health preservation techniques, which has benefited him a lot. The little friends he made in Liangshan that day really gave him too many surprises. At this time, of course, Li Chun didn't know that hundreds of years later, the descendants of his Li family would become a true scholar and a true scholar, and there were really several real martial arts masters, so it was difficult to say how much it had to do with today's fate. Of course, that's all for later.
Nearly June, Zhao Yu said goodbye and left Lijiazhuang. The father and son of the Li family sent each other directly more than ten miles away, and then they said goodbye.
Before parting, Zhao Yu pointed to the Li brothers and said to Li Chun: "Muwen is as his name suggests, but it is actually difficult to become a Confucian. Bishop Li Zhuang has a good way, I shouldn't have said much, only a word, life may not be easy, parents can not hold for a lifetime, how to let them work hard, may not be able to fight out a wide sky. ”
Li Chun nodded, indicating that he was taught.
Zhao Yu said to Li Muwen again: "I don't want to be your master because I have only just started with my own skills." If you are motivated, I have left you a book, and you may take the capital with you to visit my two brothers, who are far more learned than I am. He didn't recommend Li Muwen to his father, who lived in Wuxing's hometown, because he was afraid of disturbing his father's purity in his old age, and secondly, he was afraid that his father would force him to go home after knowing his whereabouts. As for the two elder brothers, they have no such scruples.
Li Muwen's eyes were red and said: "Since I have kowtowed to the master, I will regard the uncle as the master for the rest of my life." In the future, I will go to Dadu to visit the two masters, if they do not give up, they must study hard and not embarrass the master. ”
Over there, Li Chengru also came up and arched his hand and said, "Uncle Shi, take care all the way!" From the beginning when the two met and fought each other, to the present parting, this "Uncle Shi" call was sincere, and there was no reluctance.
Zhao Yu punched him in the chest and said with a smile: "After all, the gambling house is not a legitimate business, it is better to rebuild the Qinglou, and I will pass by Dongping Mansion in the future, so I can come to disturb it." ”
With that, he rolled over his horse and took his leave. Behind him, Li Chengru screamed: "Dad, don't believe that kid's nonsense!"
Out of Dongping Mansion to the west, Zhao Yu went out of Shandong and entered Henan in a few days. Henan was known as the Central Plains in ancient times, connecting the east and the west, connecting the south and looking north, and was the essence of the Han civilization. However, after years of war, Henan has suffered particularly deeply. Zhao Yu jumped on the Horse Plain, only saw a large area of barren land, often no people within more than ten miles. Even though he has seen many hardships in the world, when he sees the ruins of the Central Plains, Zhao Yu is still inevitably depressed in his heart.
That day, after listening to Li Chun's explanation of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, Zhao Yu had already ordered the next stop to be Shaolin Temple. It's just that he left home this time, focusing on increasing his experience, so he believed in the reins, from Puyang to Luoyang, but did not rush directly to Shaolin Temple.
For more than two months, Zhao Yu has been going around in Henan. During the Midyear Festival, I rushed to worship the ancestors at the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and I couldn't help but shed tears when I thought of the disaster in the world. Then I went to the ancient city of Bianliang, visited the Great Xiangguo Temple, and remembered the past and the present on the platform of King Yu. When it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I don't know where I am, a few glasses of village-brewed turbid wine in the wine shop, it is considered to be the festival of reunion of people and months. Thinking of last year, the family was happy in Dadu, and I couldn't help but feel sad, but I didn't regret my decision to leave home.
It's just that she came out of the wine shop and was lonely and alone, and she felt sorry in her heart, but she thought of Zhao Min's girl who didn't know what she was doing at this time? She is a little county lord who is loved by thousands of people, so naturally she will not have such an occasionally lonely state of mind. Looking up at the full moon, Zhao Yu took a sip of wine, and spit out with a little depression. Even though they are thousands of miles apart, but they look at the moon above their heads, this is enough.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Yu prepared to visit the Shaolin Temple. After driving more than ten miles to meet the estuary, I stepped forward to inquire about the captain, only to realize that I had wandered to northern Hubei Province, and I couldn't help but laugh.
When he saw that there were several fishing boats parked at the ferry, and that he was really tired from riding horses these days, he asked, "I want to go north by boat, and I wonder which of you will give me a ride?" ”
The boatmen all waved their hands and did not go far, which made Zhao Yu difficult.
At this time, a boatman who came from the shore with vegetables and vegetables came over and said to Zhao Yu: "It's not easy for young people to go out, if you don't think my boat is simple, I can send you north." ”
Zhao Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, thanked the boatman repeatedly, listened to the boatman's instructions, led the horse to the nearby market and sold it, then bought some meat and wine, and rushed to the ferry to meet the boatman.
The boatman was a trustworthy man, and he waited at the ferry, and when Zhao Yu returned, he led him to a fishing boat.
Zhao Yu was a little surprised when he saw that although the fishing boat was dilapidated, it was clean and tidy, and it was not stained with filth such as fish scales, nor did it smell fishy.
When he stepped aboard the boat, he heard a crisp and pleasant voice coming from the cabin, "Daddy is back," and then saw a little girl of seven or eight years old coming out of the cabin.
The little girl smiled and looked up, but when she saw Zhao Yu, a stranger, her face changed, and she went back to the cabin with a "ah" sound.
Zhao Yu still had one foot on the boat, but at this time, he was embarrassed to go up and down, frozen in place.
The boatman Lang patted Zhao Yu's shoulder with a smile and said, "That's the little girl, who has been dependent on me on the boat since she was a child, and she is a little shy when she sees a living." ”
As he spoke, he stepped onto the boat and shouted into the cabin, "Zhiruo, this little brother is going north by boat." It's rude for you to treat guests like that. ”
Zhao Yu heard the boatman call his daughter's name, and secretly said that the boat's family is not amazing, and the name given to the child is very good.
After her father called twice, the little girl from the boat family walked out timidly, just lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu turned his head to look, and his breathing couldn't help but stagnate.
The little girl, though old-dressed, was born beautiful, and she wore no shoes and socks on the boat, revealing her slender feet, not plump, but thin. At this time, she lowered her head, shy and timid, just like the empty valley orchid, although she did not smell of the world, but she was fragrant, and there was a faint fragrance.
Zhao Yu retracted his gaze and looked at the boatman again, with some suspicion in his eyes. When the two fathers and daughters stood together, they always felt a little out of tune, but it was hard to ask.
