Henan Road. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoLuoyang Mansion. The Dugu family.

The Dugu family has produced many talents for hundreds of years, including well-educated people who have experienced the world and latitude, and there are also people who are strong in martial arts.

In the past hundreds of years, despite the change of dynasties, the change of thrones, and the Dugu family, it has always stood tall.

In all dynasties, there were people from the Dugu family who entered the court as officials, and there were many important ministers. The Dugu family's family heirloom 7749 Liuyun swordsmanship is also a unique and unique way in the rivers and lakes.

In addition, the Dugu family has been operating for hundreds of years, with many customers, and many families and sects in the government and the opposition have inextricable relationships.

At this time, outside a small courtyard of the Dugu family, a man about sixty years old was standing respectfully outside the door, waiting for something. Beside the man, there were two middle-aged and elderly men who looked vaguely similar to him.

With a squeak, the door of the small courtyard opened, and an old man in gray walked out of the door, arched his hand to the three men at the door, and said, "The master of the family, the fifth young master, the seventh young master, the master is invited." The three men hurriedly returned a salute to the old man in gray and walked into the courtyard together.

In the hut in the courtyard, an old man who was over the age of the staff was sitting upright on the Taishi chair, gently turning two crimson walnuts in his right hand.

The three men entered the house, knelt down in unison, and said, "Greetings to my father." ”

The old man bowed his head and said, "Get up." Sit down and talk. ”

After the three of them sat down, the old man asked, "Are you doing it for Qingyun Ling?"

The middle-aged man, who was about sixty years old, replied respectfully, "Father, the children have come to disturb your old man for this purpose. ”

The old man nodded, and then asked, "What do you mean?"

The three men glanced at each other, and the man in his sixties replied, "Father, I have discussed it with the fifth and seventh brothers, and I feel that this matter is quite difficult. Qingyun ordered it, showing that there was a big change in Qingyun Village. In the past few months, my Dugu family has helped the official army to resist the enemy in Taiyuan, and my family has also met Han'er. Now that Qingyun Village has changed, with Han'er's personality, he will definitely rush back to Qingyun Village with Liu Daxia. My fifth brother and seventh brother and I feel that this Qingyun order should not only be as simple as a grievance between the rivers and lakes, but I am afraid that it will be heavily implicated. Therefore, the children don't know whether they should let the Dugu family be involved. ”

The two walnuts in the old man's hand paused lightly and stopped turning.

Then, the old man's gaze swept over the faces of the three men one by one, and said, "Han'er is a member of my Dugu family, and she used to be the pride of the younger generation of my Dugu family. Now, he is fighting against foreign enemies in Taiyuan, and he has made great contributions to the reputation of my Dugu family. If he really makes a mistake, the king will be punished by the law. If he didn't make a mistake, the children of the Dugu family couldn't be hurt in the hands of outsiders. ”

The man in his sixties bowed slightly and said, "The child understands." ”

After a pause, the man asked again: "Father, what about Qingyun Village? If you want to protect Han'er, I'm afraid you won't be able to avoid the opponent of Qingyun Village." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Don't you also call Liu Yunfeng a hero? Isn't the Dugu family also fighting the enemy in Taiyuan? My Dugu family has been building a family for hundreds of years, relying on more than just four words of caution. Che'er has been in retreat for a long time, and it's time to go out for a walk. ”

The three people in the seat got up together and said, "The child understands." ”

Shaanxi Road. Qinling.

There are many poisonous insects and beasts in the Qinling Mountains, since ancient times, it is a last resort, and the world is unwilling to set foot in it.

However, there are occasional hunters or medicine farmers who are forced to survive, after entering the depths of the Qinling Mountains to hunt or collect medicine, and then when they go out of the mountain, it is repeatedly rumored that there are gods living in the mountains, and they swear that they are conclusive.

At this time, in one of the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains, there were indeed sporadic lights. If one looks closely, they will see that the lights are actually a village.

At this time, in the village, in a board house, an old lady was sitting in front of a spinning wheel, with two feet creaking on the pedals of the spinning wheel, and one hand skillfully controlling the spindle. Don't look at the old lady's silver thread like frost, she controls the spindle, and she actually carries her hands like flying.

While the old lady was busy, suddenly, like a gust of wind, a woman rushed into the house and shouted, "Ancestor!

The old lady's hand shook, and the twine on the spinning wheel made a loud noise, and several were broken one after another.

The old lady raised her head, glanced at the woman who rushed in, and said angrily: "Si girl, why don't you rest at such a late hour? Why did you run to my old woman again recklessly? and screamed, causing my old woman's few feet of cloth to be broken again." In the words, doting means far more than reproach.

The woman who rushed in stuck out her tongue, trotted forward, hugged the old lady's arm, and said coquettishly: "Ancestor, didn't you sleep too?" Then, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she said, "Ancestor, something is wrong." As he spoke, he burst into tears.

When the old lady saw it, she scolded with a smile: "Okay, don't pretend." Who doesn't know, you girl is weird. You'll be able to deceive my old woman. ”

According to the old lady's previous experience, usually when she said this, the woman should burst into tears and laugh, and then she would pester herself and make some strange demands.

Who knows, this time, after the old lady finished speaking, the woman didn't mean to laugh at all, and her tears fell down in a clatter.

The old lady panicked, quickly reached out to wipe the tears on the woman's face, and said sharply: "Say, girl, who bullied you? My old woman can't spare him!"

The woman sobbed and replied, "No, Ancestor. It's Qingyun Ling. ”

When the old lady heard this, she stood up, stared at the woman and asked, "Si girl, what you said is true?

The woman was startled when she saw the old lady being so strict with herself for the first time, and hurriedly replied, "Ancestor, it's true." Grandpa, they have already gone to the ancestral hall. ”

When the old lady heard the woman say this, she reached out and took the woman's hand, and said as she walked out: "Si girl, go, you accompany my old woman over." ”

The two walked to the door of the ancestral hall, and the children guarding the ancestral hall at the door gave salutes one after another, and then led the two into the ancestral hall.

When the two entered the ancestral hall, they saw that the ancestral hall was already full of a group of people, who were discussing with each other. Seeing the old lady and the woman walking in, everyone saluted the old lady one after another.

The oldest looking old man stepped forward, put his arm around the old lady's other arm, and asked, "Mother, why are you here too?"

The old lady said: "Qingyun Ling, let me take a look, what are you going to do." ”

The old man replied: "Mother, Qingyunzhai has a deep relationship with my Sun family, and I have been kind to my Sun family ancestors. This time, the child means that my grandson should help. ”

The old lady nodded and said, "You did the right thing." My grandson's family will repay the kindness. Since they are all here, let me give the ancestors a stick of incense. ”

After speaking, the old lady gently pushed away the support of the old man, walked to the shrine, lit a stick of incense with her own hands, and then knelt down on the futon in front of the shrine with the support of the woman, and performed three salutes.

Then, with the support of the woman, the old lady stood up again, and put the incense in her hand into the incense burner in front of the shrine.

After the salute, the old lady did not immediately retreat, but gave another salute to the tablet in the middle of the shrine. On the tablet, the words "Ancestor Sun Gong Si Miao" are written.

It turned out that this big family living in seclusion in the mountains turned out to be the descendants of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine. This old lady is the old lady Lu with the highest surviving generation in the Sun family. The woman who supports her is her lineage, with a single name and a single word.

The name of the world is not to be secreted. This Sun Si can be directly named after the name of the Medicine King, which shows how favored she is in the Sun family.

However, this Sun Si is indeed worthy of the favor of Old Taijun Lu and the rest of the Sun family.

The medicine king has been passed down from generation to generation. Many people in the world only know that the medicine king has excellent medical skills, but they don't know that the medicine king used to take the furnace for alchemy, and has obtained the application of sulfur and saltpeter. Later generations of the Sun family devoted themselves to research, and they also gained a lot of gunpowder.

The ancestors of the Sun family once happened to receive the grace of the ancestors of Qingyunzhai and wanted to repay it. However, the ancestors of Qingyunzhai at that time had always admired the high righteousness of the Sun family and refused to accept it.

The Sun family gathered the power of the gunpowder masters of the whole clan to create two Qingyun Orders for this Qingyun Village.

Decades ago, Qingyunzhai suffered a catastrophe, and it was precisely because of the use of a Qingyun order that the backbone personnel distributed in the village were recalled to support in time, and with the help of colleagues in the rivers and lakes, Qingyunzhai was able to escape the catastrophe. also because of that time, Qingyun Ling became famous all over the world.

And Sun Si not only knows pharmacology well, integrates the medical classics handed down by the medicine king in the past, and learns amazing medical skills, but also is extremely proficient in gunpowder. Even the old people in the family who specialize in this way often sigh to themselves when they mention Sun Si's gunpowder technique.

What's more, Sun Si also learned martial arts from the acupuncture and moxibustion techniques handed down by the medicine king in the past. One-handed acupuncture can not only save people in danger, but also take people's lives in the blink of a moment.

And the old man who supported Mrs. Lu to answer before was the eldest son of Mrs. Lu, and now the head of the Sun family, Sun Dingxuan.

After Lu Lao Taijun and the others finished the incense, a pair of eyes slowly swept over the people: "Although my grandson family lives in seclusion here, they have always obeyed the great wishes of their ancestors. The descendants of the Sun family often walk the world and hang pots to help the world. Si Yatou also went to the mountains to practice. ”

Speaking of this, the old lady glanced at Sun Si meaningfully, but saw Sun Si's cheeks flushed.

The old lady smiled slightly, a trace of worry seemed to flash in his eyes, and continued: "Qingyun Village is kind to my grandson's ancestors. The ancestors gave Qingyun Village two Qingyun Orders, which was to let my Sun family help at least twice. Now, Qingyunzhai is in trouble, and Liu Yunfeng and others are known as chivalrous. Dingxuan, you can arrange someone to go out of the mountain. ”

Sun Dingxuan hurriedly bowed and replied, "Obey my mother's orders." ”

Seeing that Old Taijun Lu didn't mention himself, Sun Si immediately shook Old Taijun's arm lightly and shouted softly, "Old Ancestor!"

Old Taijun Lu looked at Sun Si dotingly, raised her hand, gently touched Sun Si's head, and asked, "Si girl, can't you still forget that incident?"

Hearing this, a group of old men in the ancestral hall all looked at Sun Si with strange eyes.

Sun Si saw the strange appearance of a large group of old men, stomped his feet, and said angrily: "Old ancestor, look at grandpa and grandfathers!"

Mrs. Lu's eyes swept away, and a group of old men hurriedly looked at their noses and noses, and their noses and hearts, all of them made a deep shape.

Old Taijun Lu glanced at Sun Si again, and asked softly, "Si girl, can't you really let go of that Liu Yunfeng?"

Sun Si bit his lip, as if he had made up his mind, and replied, "Ancestor, I acted recklessly back then, and I almost made a big mistake. I want to ask Brother Liu in person. If possible, I want to meet the girl. When I asked him face to face, they didn't blame me. ”

Old Mrs. Lu nodded and said, "Hmm." The sons and daughters of my grandson are upright. It was indeed you who were reckless back then. You go along. Thinking girl, you are not small. Remember, my grandson family is also a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and there are not so many stinky rules. If you like anyone, this time out of the mountain, bring people back and show them to my old woman. ”

When Sun Si heard this, his cheeks were dizzy again in an instant, and he stomped his feet and said, "Ancestor!"

After Mrs. Lu finished speaking to Sun Si, she turned her face to Sun Dingxuan and the old men and said, "Dingxuan, and you, all listen to the old man." This time out of the mountain, if there is anything wrong with the girl, the old body will break your legs. ”

Pity Sun Dingxuan and a large group of old men, they can only say yes with a bitter face.

Shandong Road. Qufu. Confucian holy land.

It was late at night, and in a large manor, there was still the sound of books. This is the manor of the Confucian leader of the Confucian family.

Since ancient times, the Confucian family has been a hard-working scholar with many hanging beams and thorns. Therefore, although it is the end of the time, there are still many Confucian children in Zhuangzi who are reading at night.

At this time, an old man was carrying a lantern and leading another old man with a dragon's head and a cane to walk slowly in the Zhuangzi.

The one who picked up the lantern was Kong Sen, the old housekeeper of the Kong family.

Kong Sen is over the age of old, and he has long given up the position of steward to others. With his age and prestige in the Kong family, he no longer has to do this work of picking up lights and guiding the way. It's just that Kong Sen has always insisted that he personally serve the old man with a cane.

Because, this old man is the ancestor of the Kong family, Kong Qingsong.

Although Kong Qingsong has passed the age of mackerel, he still likes to walk in the Zhuangzi every night. As long as you hear the sound of Langlang books in the Zhuangzi, the old people will feel happy.

The two old men were walking, and in the distant sky, the fire flashed, and a muffled thunderous sound followed. Kong Qingsong looked at it for a while, and said to Kong Sen: "Senbo, you go to pass on the people and let the head of the family come here to see me." ”

After a while, an old man who was over the same age as Kong Sen was led over, saw Kong Qingsong, and said in a proper manner: "Father." ”

Kong Qingsong looked at the sky in the distance and said to the old man: "Family master, look at it, what is that?" The old man heard that Kong Qingsong was commensurate with the head of the family, and replied cautiously: "Father, the child has already seen it, it seems to be the Qingyun Order of Qingyun Village." ”

When Kong Qingsong heard this, he said to the old man: "Oh, since you already know, tell me, what should my Kong family do?"

The old man pondered for a moment and said: "Father, the people of Qingyun Village are the people of the rivers and lakes, good chivalrous and martial, and they are incompatible with my Confucian teachings. The child means that the Kong family should stay out of this matter. ”

When Kong Qingsong heard this, the dragon's head crutch hit the ground heavily, and said angrily: "Pedantic!" The old man saw Kong Qingsong angry, and hurriedly trembled and wanted to kneel.

Kong Qingsong paused for crutches again and said, "No need to kneel." You're also old, why are you still so ignorant?"

In this commotion, some of the people who were originally reading in the surrounding rooms have poked their heads out. Seeing that Kong Qingsong was angry and the head of the family was being trained, these people hurriedly retracted their heads.

Seeing this, Kong Qingsong sighed and said to Kong Sen, "Take me back to the room." Then he said to the old man who was being trained, "Let all your brothers in each room come to my room." I have something to say. ”

Back in the room, when everyone arrived, Kong Qingsong opened his mouth and asked, "Tell me, what is the responsibility of my Kong family?"

After everyone looked at each other for a while, an old man replied cautiously: "The responsibility of my Confucian family is to preach the way of the saints and educate all the people. ”

Kong Qingsong nodded, and then asked, "What else?"

Another old man saw Kong Qingsong nodding, and stepped forward to reply: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." ”

Kong Qingsong nodded again, and then asked: "Then how should we educate the people? How should we establish our hearts for heaven and earth? and how should we establish our lives for the people?" Everyone listened to Kong Qingsong's strange question, and they didn't dare to answer again.

Kong Qingsong waited for a while, and then asked, "Qingyun ordered it, I guess you also saw it." Suitable talents, the head of the family said that the people of Qingyunzhai are the generations of the rivers and lakes, and they are incompatible with my Confucianism, so my Confucian family should stay out of the matter. What do you mean?"

The people were not right, and they didn't dare to answer.

Kong Qingsong waited for a while, and when he saw that everyone didn't answer, he said angrily: "Are you afraid that my old man and the head of the family will disagree, and you don't want to offend my old man or the head of the family?"

Immediately, without waiting for everyone to answer, Kong Qingsong sighed again and said, "When will it start, my Kong family will only learn this?"

Then, Kong Qingsong's eyes were blazing, staring at the old man who had been trained before, and said, "Family master, let me ask you." Now that the government is in chaos, how many of the officials in the court are not full of the books of my sages? How many of them are not studying the way of my Confucianism? However, how many of them are not the people who are not in the position of corpses and tend to be inflammatory? How many of them are practicing the way of our Confucianism? Where has the way of the sages of my Confucianism gone? Where has the way of my Confucianism gone?

Speaking of this, Kong Qingsong paused, coughed, and then said angrily: "I'll ask you again, how do you plan to continue your studies for the saints, and how to open peace for all generations?"

Seeing that the old man was panting, Kong Sen and the old men shouted one after another: "Master!" "Father!" and "Uncle!"

Kong Qing breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down his emotions, slowed down his speech, and said: "Back then, the princes were fighting, the war was raging, and the people were struggling to make a living. The master also held a three-foot green front and relieved the people from hanging upside down. I am a Confucian ten philosophers, a Confucian seventy-two sages, and there is no shortage of chivalrous people. The master and my Confucian sages not only passed down the rules of governing the world, but also passed down the methods of technical attack. Why is it that now, the people of my Confucian family only know how to read the books of sages?"

Speaking of this, Kong Qingsong sighed again and continued: "Family master, you said, the people of Qingyun Village are chivalrous and martial, not my Confucians. It is nothing more than saying that those who practice martial arts are forbidden by martial arts. Wait and see, today's court, the Confucian scholars who study the book of my sages, how can they not use literature to disrupt the government? Although the people of Qingyunzhai are people in the rivers and lakes, you must have heard of their chivalrous name. What's more, now the people of Qingyunzhai are traveling hundreds of miles to resist foreign enemies in Taiyuan. Isn't this a heart for heaven and earth, and a life for the people? Isn't this a big river and lake?

When the old man who had been trained earlier and the other old men heard this, they either nodded yes, frowned in thought, or sweated profusely.

Kong Qingsong saw that everyone had their own understandings, and he didn't think much of himself, so he said to the old man who had been trained before: "Family master, this time Qingyun Village is in trouble, my Kong family should send someone there." If the righteousness is on the side of Qingyunzhai, my Kong family needs to help. ”

The old man replied respectfully, "Yes, Father." ”

Immediately, the old man cautiously asked: "This Qingyun Order, I'm afraid there is not only a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, but also more than a vendetta in the rivers and lakes. What if my Kong family ......?"

Kong Qingsong scolded angrily and funny: "It turns out that you are not so stupid!"

Then, Kong Qingsong said calmly: "There is nothing that is not wrong. Now that evil is rampant, if there is really any if, my Confucian sect can not only practice the way of a saint, but also wield the sword of benevolence. All the old men bowed down and replied in unison, "Be taught!"

When the old men left, Kong Qingsong seemed to mumble to Kong Sen and said, "It seems that this river and lake is going to be chaotic again." ”

Fuzhou Road. The mighty Hou Cheng family. Home master bedroom.

Bursts of laughter rang out in the bedroom. Among them, a woman's voice does not seem to be the voice of the Central Plains.

A family member hurried to the outside of the master's bedroom, knocked on the door gently, and called in a low voice: "Master Hou, something big has happened!"

The laughter in the room stopped. Immediately, there was a sound of dressing in the room.

After a while, the door opened, and an old man appeared at the door wearing a brocade robe, and first slapped the family member who knocked on the door, and then said viciously: "Say! What is the matter? If it is not a big matter, disturb the interest of Ben Hou, and carefully peel your skin!"

The housekeeper covered his face, leaned into the old man's ear, and whispered a few words.

The old man was stunned for a moment, grabbed the collar of the family, and asked loudly, "Really?" The family nodded and replied affirmatively: "Really." The eldest young master has already confirmed. ”

The old man let go of the collar of the housekeeper, kicked him to the ground, and scolded: "Get out! Tomorrow I will go to the account room and receive half a month's reward." ”

The family got up from the ground with a thorn, thanked him, covered his face, bent over, and ran out happily.

When the family left, the old man looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Okay! Okay! You also have this day! My son's revenge can finally be avenged." ”

......

On this night, the family was exhausted.
