Chapter 14: The Shore of Life and Death
As soon as Wei Chuan exerted his strength, he flew in front of the disciples in the blink of an eye. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Yuan Linhui looked back, only to see the dark green distant mountains, where can you still see the figure, I can't help but sigh that Wei Chuan is unfathomable, worthy of a generation of grandmasters, no wonder his father once said that Wei Chuan is a generation of grandmasters who have no ancestors before and no one after the Huashan Sword Sect, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle Wei, the younger generation is afraid to ask, is light skill and lightning control really the entry martial arts of the Huashan Sword Sect?"
Wei Chuan nodded and said, "Exactly!
Yuan Lin Hui was ashamed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The seniors said they were laughing!"
Wei Chuan knew that there was no one else here, so Zhengse asked, "Brother Yuan, do you have anything else to explain?"
Yuan Lin Hui asked and hurriedly replied: "My father still has a message, which is to tell Uncle Wei that the people in the head account of Yanying have been active in secret recently, and they have been interacting with people in the rivers and lakes. ”
Wei Chuan frowned, and said suspiciously: "The Eagle Head Account belongs to the secret order group of the Great Shun Dynasty, and is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials in various places, and even the power of life and death, and can act on behalf of the Holy Power.
"My father only ordered the younger generation to report like this, I don't know the details. Yuan Linhui thought for a while, and suddenly said: "However, before the younger generation's trip, I heard my father order someone to cast a thousand ruler knives. ”
"Ruler knife, the Qingyun faction has always made swords, why cast knives, and the Qingyun faction is famous for its long swords, and suddenly cast a ruler knife, if it is used in the door, it is contrary to the swordsmanship, what kind of reputation does the patriarch have?" Wei Chuan secretly speculated, and he couldn't understand it, so he said: "Presumably, Brother Yuan must have a reason for this." Wait for Brother Yuan to meet him, and then inquire again! Look! We are about to reach the riverside, there are really many ships here, I am afraid that I will wait for a long time!"
Yuan Lin Hui only felt that his body was light, there was nothing under his feet, and a short sword had floated in front of him, which was his own sword, so he hurriedly withdrew it and landed on the gravel beach on the bank of the river with Wei Chuan.
"The Zunjia must be known as 'Yunzhongjun', the head of the Huashan Sword Sect, the head of the Huashan Sword Sect, Wei Zhangmen!" The boatmen were not surprised when they saw the two of them descending from the sky, and they all surrounded them, and one of them was a thin old man, who smiled when he saw him.
Wei Chuan replied: "Don't dare, it's Wei!"
"Haha, I know that in the past few days, the head of Wei is going to lead Gao Zu to cross the river to go to the river, and he has been waiting here for a few days, and he will not lose his respect. A strong young man stepped forward and bowed.
Wei Chuan smiled slightly: "Everyone's grand invitation, I shouldn't have resigned, but time is limited, I can't rock the boat lightly, I apologize, wait for the time to return, thank you for your kindness." ”
"Master!"
"Master!"
At this time, Zhao Luo'er and the disciples had landed on the ground one after another, and there was a boatman here, so each disciple reported "Master" to show respect.
The boatmen saw more than 100 disciples, all of them can soar through the clouds and fog, it can be seen that the light work is very good, so as not to praise and compliment, the words handed each other a look, the previous thin old man, hugged his fists and smiled: "Luanjiang more than 100 miles, Wei Zhangmen and his wife, and all the high-footed, this journey, is not a problem, but it will be exhausting, it is better to fake the boat to travel, arrive at the other side, and then order people to prepare a hundred horses, save some leg power for you, then make up for it, isn't it happy!"
Wei Xiao'an was out of breath, and when he heard this, he immediately grabbed his mouth and said: "Dad, let's take this old man's boat, come down from the mountain, after a while, I will be tired to death, I haven't had a good rest all the way, let's take a boat to play, let's take a good rest." ”
"Yes, yes, Miss Wei is very right!" a boatman immediately responded.
"Dad, what are you hesitating about? Are you worried that these boatmen will not be able to eat us! If you are afraid that the entanglement will be insufficient, I have a lot of this, hehe!" Wei Xiaoan said, and took out a string of gold beads from the boat, which was the gold bead of the gold abacus placed in front of the silver cabinet of the pawnshop, and he didn't know why it was stolen by this dead girl, Wei Chuan couldn't help but feel angry.
"Miss Wei is too worried, I have been waiting for Lord Lingzun to look up for a long time, and it is already a blessing to be able to cross Lord Lingzun in honor, where do you dare to be greedy for money and collect money?"
"Dad, look at it, people look up to you, if you shouldn't, isn't it disrespectful?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" The boatman hurriedly said: "We just hope to be able to cross the river as we wish, if Wei Daxia has other plans, how can we force it, I just hope that we will have a fate to respect in this life!"
Wei Chuan swept over Yuan Linhui and Zhao Luo'er, and saw that both of them were silent, so he smiled and said: "Since this is the case, Wei will borrow a boat to cross, and the commission will be paid as usual!"
"Where, where is it, Master Wei just gets on the boat, and I won't take a penny!"
Zhao Luo'er thought secretly: "Don't take a penny! Hmph! This is not clear that there is fraud in it, but if you cross it by boat, this hundred miles of river, I am afraid it is really difficult, it can be seen that these people have been prepared for a long time." So he followed Wei Chuan's side, and after entering the warehouse, he said softly: "Brother Yuan asked me not to wait for the ferry......
Wei Chuan intercepted: "Don't worry, you have your own plans!"
Yuan Lin Hui naturally crossed the same boat with Wei Chuan, and there were two other female disciples who accompanied Zhao Luo'er. There were two other boatmen, an old man and a young boatman, who were busy raising the sails, who knew that someone on the mountain road could hear someone shouting from afar: "Boatman, wait, boatman, I want to cross the river!"
When the boatmen saw this, they couldn't help but feel surprised, and they looked at each other, and the thin old man shouted: "Son, I'm sorry, all the boats are fully loaded, if you cross the buoy, you will suffer a sin!"
If the little brother misses this journey and misses the return to his hometown, the little sister next door will marry a husband, we fell in love at first sight, wishful thinking, I promised her five years of high school gold list, marry each other after the autumn, roughly calculated, a day can not be delayed, besides, the south sky is cloudy, I am afraid that it will be the rainy period, this ferry will pass, it will be a few months, please boat family, the little brother is willing to pour all I have, just ask for a crossing!"
The thin old man looked at a middle-aged boat, and the middle-aged boatman nodded slightly, so the thin old man asked Wei Chuan in the boat humbly: "Master Wei, there is a scholar who asks for a crossing, can you bring it!"
Zhao Luo'er thought to herself that in the upper reaches of the Luanjiang River here, the land is barren and sparsely populated, and there is no official road, this person will not go thousands of miles wrong when he enters Beijing to take the exam and return to his hometown, obviously there is fraud, so he said softly: "Not a scholar!"
Wei Chuan said with a smile: "This ship is very big, and there are only five of us, so I have room to spare, so I will invite this scholar to get on the boat." ”
"Thank you Master Wei!" The thin old man thanked and shouted to the scholar: "Son, get on the boat!"
"Thank you boatman!" the scholar thanked the boatman for his kindness, and thanked Wei Chuan inside the boat again and again outside the window, and then the thin old man pressed a guest room at the bottom of the warehouse.
Let's say that on the 100-mile river, there are double-sail ships, so that they can withstand the waves and waves, and the five big ships are galloping with their sails and riding the wind and waves.
Wei Chuan under the tea window, looking at the surging river, rolling and surging, sometimes strong wind and high waves, the big boat is also rising and falling, shaking, at first, secretly sighing that the power of the wind to rise and fly, beyond human comparison, but then I felt disgusted in my heart, uncomfortable in my stomach, and wanted to vomit. Yuan Linhui had already seen it and said with a smile: "Uncle Wei is not used to ferrying, please go to the bottom of the boat to rest." ”
Wei Chuan smiled awkwardly and said: "In the clouds and mountains, less wading in the waterway, I am a little uncomfortable at this time, hehe, I am out of company!"
"Uncle Wei, please!"
When Wei Chuan got up, he almost vomited, suppressed with qi, secretly struggled, held on to the wooden railing, went down the wooden ladder, and came to the warehouse guest room, the feeling of vomiting was still not reduced, and he laughed at himself, the head of the famous Jianghu faction, he would be seasick, but the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to vomit, only to feel that his stomach was churning, but seeing that there was no dirty bucket here, it could be described as anxious, ashamed, and uncomfortable. At this time, he was suddenly pinched on his back and neck, and he was shocked, and he was about to do his work, but he listened: "This brother, seasickness is the most uncomfortable, the little brother is aquatic and long, and he is used to water, don't be in a hurry, wait for the little brother to give the brother a pinch, and ensure that he will never get seasick again in the future, the ancestral secret recipe!"
Wei Chuan looked at it in a blink of an eye, but it was the scholar, only to see that he was in his early twenties, born with a tiger's head, his face was kind, a pair of hands behind his back, shoulders pinched, pressed, pointed, twisted, very skilled, and every pinch, are near the acupuncture points, but not very accurate, I think this person, do not know martial arts, a little relaxed, after a while, really feel comfortable.
"Thank you for your help, otherwise, I will really make a fool of myself!"
The scholar smiled and said, "It's nothing? When you are in a foreign land, you should be a neighbor and a friend. ”
When Wei Chuan heard this, he was really shy, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's name?"
"The younger brother's surname is Qu, and his single name is an character, I don't know what to call my brother?"
"Under the surname Wei, Mingchuan!"
"Oh, when the little brother got on the boat, the head of Wei called by the boatman should be Brother Wei?"
When Wei Chuan heard that this person was calling him a brother and a brother, he also felt funny, and he had the right to follow the customs, so he smiled and said: "It's exactly below!"
Qu An immediately gave a big salute and said: "Brother Wei is tolerant and tolerant, thank you here, if you don't give up, go to the room to talk about it!"
Wei Chuan thought about it, there was nothing to do at this time, so he responded.
"Brother Wei, please take a seat!"
Qu An waited for Wei Chuan to sit down, Fang Zi sat down, and asked with a smile: "Forgive my little brother for being blunt, of course Brother Wei is from the rivers and lakes?"
Wei Chuan smiled slightly: "Everyone is in the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes are different, and the wind and waves are different!"
When Qu An heard this, he nodded and said, "Brother Wei is reasonable, but the junior brother wants to inquire about something?" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but pause, and when he saw Wei Chuan nodding, he asked softly: "At the beginning of the year, there was a big case in the capital...... There is a thief who messed up Ouchi**......" Speaking of this, his voice was extremely soft, as if once he was heard, he would be guilty of killing his head.
Wei Chuan didn't think so, but after thinking about it, he was also a little curious, and asked: "The palace is heavily guarded, especially **, who is messing around in the house of the Son of Heaven." ”
Qu An's eyes lit up, and he said: "This thief is bold, he actually went in three times and went out, and once he entered, he stayed for several months, defiling countless concubines, and some people rumored that the royal concubines were played all over by him, alas...... The younger brother is a scholar, and now he has eaten the royal Fenglu, and he should not talk about such filthy and insulting things that insult the royal reputation, but this thief has some origins, there are people in the rivers and lakes, the surname is the law, and the name is by, because of this, Long Yan was furious, and the Xuantie order was issued to the eagle's head account, and this Xuantie order was killed and not discussed, and the eagle's head account was the department, which was directly under the Longxuan Palace, that is, obeyed by the holy order, and was located above the column. One can imagine how big this incident is. Now six heads had rolled out of the tent of the eagle's head. It's been half a year, and I haven't even found the slightest hair of the law Ziby, the throne of the current eagle's head account, is the saint's nephew Mo Zhuang, although he is young, but I heard that the teacher is famous, and he is a secret disciple of the monk who has not seen the monk, not only has the royal bloodline talent, but also gets the true inheritance of the monk, which can be described as Wenwen Taowu strategy, not lost in the world. ”
Wei Chuan was secretly surprised, he couldn't imagine that Lu Ziyou was as bold as he was in and out of the palace, and he was involved in the emperor's bedside. However, the eagle head account mentioned by Qu An is not exactly what Yuan Lin Hui said, and he is walking around the rivers and lakes frequently, presumably for the sake of the law. The law is dead, presumably it will also go away, and it will be passed to the ears and eyes of the eagle's head account, this case can be solved, but Yuan Beifeng does not need to ask for a book, and the army will be lost. So he said: "Lu Ziyou has died under Wei's sword, and he is equipped with a sword, and now he is in Yunguan Village, that is, Yunjiang Village in the past. ”
"Ah, hey, the real law of the thief fruit is in the hands of Brother Wei, oops, the younger brother has set a book to play the Ming Shengshang, so that the saints can understand that the righteousness of the rivers and lakes will last forever, and there is no need to abolish the military because of the rebellion of a thief!"
"Waste the martial arts!" Wei Chuan asked puzzled.
"Yes, the saint has a secret decree, down to the eagle's head tent, give it the Xuantie order, recruit the world's rivers and lakes, and incorporate Congrong, but it is not an extraordinary martial arts, this is just hearsay, not seen with my own eyes, there are many people in the capital, there is a "sword ban" in the holy decree, the sword weapon is matched with the official system of the imperial court, the common people are forbidden, there is a new law for iron, the weight of the hoe and plow, can not exceed three catties, and the knife cannot exceed the length of the ruler ......"
Without waiting for Qu An to say peace, Wei Chuan muttered, "I see!"
Seeing Wei Chuan's emotion, Qu An didn't know what he meant, but he suddenly stood up, and then bowed and said, "Brother Wei, junior brother has a request, and I hope Wei Chuan will fulfill it!"
Seeing this, Wei Chuan hurriedly got up and saluted: "Gongzi Qu doesn't have to be polite, please have something to say!"
"This ship sails to the south bank, not to mention October, if the wind and rain obstruction, it will be longer, if the saint does not take back the order in time, the eagle's head tent is ordered by the holy order, recruiting security everywhere, those who do not descend cast long soldiers for the sword and plow, I am afraid that the heroes of the rivers and lakes will be difficult to obey, and then the Quartet will inevitably rise up, and it will become a division over time, and the momentum will be large, and they will do their own thing, so as not to war, the people's livelihood will be fire, and the living soul will be charcoal, if the younger brother will rely on the scholarly spirit, humble official, and die to admonish the saint, the law will be clarified by the dead, and the establishment of good and evil in the rivers and lakes will be clarified, and the holy king will not be able to retract the holy decree, but the decree can be changed and the sword ban withdrawn, which can ensure that the rivers and lakes are calm and calm, and the people are free from war, Isn't it the wish of my generation, but this boat has been in the wind into the river for several miles, the younger brother wants to return immediately, go to Beijing to face the saint, but I am afraid that the boatman will not allow it, and I hope that Brother Wei can persuade the boatman to dismantle the line, the younger brother here has some palace silver, which can be used for compensation, I don't know if it is possible!"
Wei Chuan didn't know that this little scholar had the heart to care for all the people, and he was in awe, but he suddenly thought of what Zhao Luo'er said, why didn't this scholar go away, but he wanted to go far and southwest, and it seemed that he had to ask for a reason, so he said: "This...... It's not that Wei is unwilling, it's just that the boat ferry......"
The scholar immediately opened the window, pointed to the southern Tianshui and said: " Brother Wei, please see, see the end of the water for the sky, but in fact for the shore, we wait for the extreme eyes, only see the sky and not see the shore, what is the reason, all because of the short eyes, can not look at the whole, if you can take off on the top, look down on the world, you must know this boundless water, but the size of the river, not enough to worry about the teeth, but if this boat crosses the other side, and then return to the north from the other side, delayed for several months, I am afraid that the eagle head account has been initiated by the rivers and lakes sect disputes, according to the younger brother, in the martial arts, there is the friendship of the alliance, the same qi and branches, one side is in difficulty, all sides help, presumably at that time, the danger of the eagle head tent, is involved in a hair and move the whole body, the entire rivers and lakes, endangering the world, the rivers and mountains and societies, change in an instant, to that time, Can you and I be so leisurely today, I'm afraid not, the other side should be your original intention, but there is really no shore of life and death! Brother Wei ...... Think twice, the little brother is a little too radical, please forgive me!"
Wei Chuan was greatly moved when he heard this generous statement, so he also said bluntly: " The rivers and lakes are sinister, and I hope that Qu Gongzi will not laugh at me and wait for the rivers and lakes to be reckless, and there is no righteousness in the heart, and now the main meeting of the martial arts alliance is imminent, openly fighting and secretly fighting, everyone is in danger, so Wei is wary of anyone, Qu Gongzi entered Beijing to catch the exam, when it is the official road, the road to return home, and it should also be the official road, why give up the near and far, and take the road of Tiancheng Mountain, besides, this way, the strong man is infested, the son is a scholar, how can he be safe and sound, if it is not for the blessing of God, there is no other way, please also ask Qu Gongzi to explain, if it makes sense, Wei should immediately send the son back in person! If you can't get through, you should only be friends in the same boat, and you will be the enemy of life and death when you go ashore. ”
The scholar was stunned when he heard this, and said with a cold smile: "I see!" As he spoke, he drank the tea and said loudly: "In this case, no matter what the younger brother says, Brother Wei will not believe it, but the younger brother will never go to the other side, so as not to suffer in the future, be miserable for the rest of his life, and live a dead life." As he spoke, he took off his coat and jumped out of the window.
Wei Chuan hurriedly grabbed and said, "What are you doing!"
"Swim back, swim back, and eat the belly of the fish, so as not to be born nameless and die useless. ”
Wei Chuan immediately said: "Please ask Gongzi Qu to briefly describe the wind and dust along the way!"
When Gongzi Qu saw Wei Chuan's salute, he took a deep breath, sat down and said: " It is ashamed to say that the younger brother has studied the world since childhood, only to seek one day, to be able to utilitarian benefit the people, share the worries on the side of the king, but the pride is full of pride, the cold window has been studying hard for more than ten years, only in exchange for the county official products, but everything begins in the small, the younger brother knows its reason, so he chooses to accept his grace, leading the seal to take office, from the south of the capital to the south, to the foot of Qingyun Mountain, the gang of Qingyun Mountain is fighting with the south bank of what hundred knives will be water, to and from the boat ferry, regardless of the government and the opposition, not passable, the little brother along the river, also know the road danger, crazy to buy stupid, for the begging for humility, out of the Qingyun Mountain boundary, to this Tiancheng Mountain land, a group of martial arts people in the Tiancheng Mountain to help, by riding fast, along the way to inquire, ask for the boat ferry, who knows to be told that the south bank is cut off water, Bajiang thousands of miles, north and south can not cross, later heard that there is a boat to be crossed here, then all the way to steal a living, endure humiliation and slavery, if you don't believe it, the younger brother here is the palace to approve the official appointment, but also please see. As he spoke, he took out the fold from his bag.
Wei Chuan saw that there was really an official seal, so he asked: "You said that there is a matchmaker marriage in the family, this is a major event in life, and when you lose one, you will regret it?"
"The one in the world, the one who is the husband, which is more important?"
When Wei Chuan saw Qu Gongzi's words, he pointed his hand at the sky, his eyes were extremely outward, Ling Ran was righteous, and there was nothing to disrespect, and immediately said: "And please Quzi pack your bags, Wei will help you and his party immediately!"
