Chapter Twenty-Four: Mr. Red Cliff

Brushing, the sword light passed, when, the two swords touched together for a while, and the wave sword in Li Xiangdong's hand was not under his control, and stuck to Shen Mu's sword. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Xiangdong asked in surprise: "Big brother, how can you be a Gongbu sword?"

Shen Mu was shocked to realize that the two swords were inseparable, and said, "Oh, second brother, this is the Yelang sword, not my Gongbu sword." Shen Musui told Li Xiangdong about the origin of the Yelang Sword.

"I see," Li Xiangdong said, "Big brother, what do you think if we use the wooden branch as a sword comparison?"

Shen Mu said: "Very good!" Li Xiangdong swung his sword and chopped down two wooden branches about three feet long, picked them up and handed one to Shen Mu.

Whew, bang, the two wooden branches touched and separated, Shen Mu leaned up and made a move "Vapor Cloud Dream" to pick the wooden branch in Li Xiangdong's hand, but Li Xiangdong turned his wrist to the right, and picked the wooden branch in Shen Mu's hand upward from the bottom right, the force in Shen Mu's hand was originally upward, and was picked by Li Xiangdong, and the upward momentum was even worse, he simply turned with the situation, and then made a move "Liuyun Sword Turn" to turn the wooden branch from top to back and draw a circle straight to the "Sun and Moon Point" on Li Xiangdong's chest , Li Xiangdong hurriedly turned his body to the side and avoided this blow, but Shen Muyun made a sword move "The Water Surface is Flat", and then slashed the wooden branch horizontally, Li Xiangdong put the wooden branch in his hand upright, blocking Shen Mu's move, and the wooden branches collided and separated. Li Xiangdong's wooden branches danced, deceived and attacked Shen Mu directly, there were seven or eight targets, Shen Mu used "drawing a knife to cut off the water" horizontal grid, and opened Li Xiangdong's wooden branches. Without waiting for the sword move to make the old, Shen Mu waved the wooden branch in his hand, and then used the "clear water eastward flow" to counterattack Li Xiangdong, Li Xiangdong jumped on the branch, Shen Mu saw that this move must be empty, and hurriedly turned the move, becoming "the first shock of the galaxy", wanting to force Li Xiangdong down, but half a beat slower, Li Xiangdong had already jumped on the branch, Shen Mu also jumped on, and Li Xiangdong on the branch, the two were like apes climbing branches, jumping back and forth on the tree, the leaves rustled, the two brothers fought about more than 30 times, regardless of victory or defeat, and fought endlessly. Li Xiangdong picked up the leaves with a wooden branch, and waved forward, seven or eight leaves were like sharp blades, flying straight towards Shen Mu, Shen Mu hurriedly returned his hand to protect himself, knocked down the leaves, and pressed straight towards Li Xiangdong with a move of "flying straight down", Li Xiangdong put the wooden branch in his hand horizontally to block Shen Mu, the wooden branches collided, and with a snap, the wooden branch in his hand was broken into two.

"Big brother, good swordsmanship!"

"It's the second brother who has room to defend and attack, otherwise I won't be able to fight cheaply, you see. After the two praised each other and pointed out, they planned to go down the mountain, and just as they were about to stride, they heard someone shouting: "Brother Li, Brother Shen, so you are here?" Shen, Li and the two looked at it, it turned out that Mengyuan had gone up the mountain, and they saw that Mengyuan had just come up the mountain, and they were embarrassed to go down the mountain immediately, so the three of them chatted on the Yunhu Mountain.

At this time, it was the season when the green apples were ripe, Li Xiangdong went to pick a few to share with Mengyuan and Shen Mu, and ate a few fruits after dinner, which was a kind of enjoyment, and the three of them chatted very happily.

Insects chirp at night, summer frogs and, all are foreign guests.

Li Xiangdong asked Mengyuan with concern, "How is Mengxuan's recurrent injury?"

Mengyuan thanked: "Thank you Brother Li for your concern, it's almost okay, you can go back to Mount Emei in a long time, I hope you can go back before the martial arts conference." ”

"That's fine," Li Xiangdong said, "Big brother, how are you preparing for next month's Fanjing Mountain Martial Arts Conference?"

Shen Mu said: "There is no preparation, several seniors of Tianlong Tunbao are ready to select one person from Chen Ming, Zheng Xie, Zhang Eagle and me to represent Tianlong Tunbao to participate in the martial arts conference." We can only have one person in Tianlong Tunbao, and besides, all three of them are not weak. ”

Li Xiangdong said: "Isn't this year's martial arts conference open to anyone who is willing? Why do several seniors choose the best?"

Shen Mu said: "The four surnames of Tianlong Tunbao Zheng, Shen, Chen, and Zhang share the honor and disgrace, and only the strongest representative Tianlong Tunbao can be selected to participate." ”

Mengyuan said: "Don't worry, Brother Shen, you must be the strongest of the four." Shen Mu didn't reply to her, just looked at her and smiled.

Li Xiangdong helped Long Bayan's son Long Huayang track down the murderer, but there was no result for a long time, so he changed the topic and said, "Big brother, do you say that Long Bayan, the lord of Yelang Valley, was killed by the enemy?"

Shen Mu said: "Probably not, if it is killed by the enemy, his family will not be safe." When Li Xiangdong and Mengyuan heard this, they felt that what he said was reasonable, and that the so-called "cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots" was done by the enemy, how could the enemy let his family go? The two pondered for a moment.

Shen Muji said: "Okay, let's not talk about it, let's go down the mountain." That night, the three of them came down the mountain together, returned to Shen Mu's house, and slept separately.

Late at night, the full moon is like a jade plate.

Li Xiangdong was in a hurry, and he got up to find a corner to pee, causing the dog to bark in the deep alley, suddenly, a figure walked in front of him, which scared Li Xiangdong a lot, he hurriedly put away his guy who didn't run out of pee, "Brother Li, haven't slept yet?" Li Xiangdong looked at Mengyuan, stammered and couldn't speak, and was busy hiding it, "No...... No, I can't sleep!"

"I can't sleep either, the moon is round tonight. ”

"Hmm!" the two of them chatted and walked, talking in common words. They were not the closest friends, but they knew each other very well, and before they knew it, they had come to the bottom of a pavilion, and they stopped and sat down, and the moon had risen to mid-heaven.

Finding someone to talk to when you can't sleep may also have a hypnotic effect.

Mengyuan chatted with Li Xiangdong and chatted without a topic, so she fell silent, her eyelids closed, she fell asleep, and leaned on her head, Li Xiangdong's shoulder became the object she leaned on. Mengyuan was already dressed and ready to go out for a walk, and Li Xiangdong was casually urinating at night, at this time the night temperature dropped, he was really a little cold, he didn't wake up Mengyuan, and after a while, he also fell asleep in the cold night.

As soon as the rooster sings, the east turns white, and the full moon in the west is still hanging high.

Li Xiangdong and Mengyuan woke up and smiled at each other, and went back to Shen Mu's house. Meng Xuan woke up and went out just in time to see Meng Yuan and Li Xiangdong, she looked at the two of them and smiled, Shen Mu opened the door and looked at the three of them and smiled, "Morning!" The three of them also replied to him, and they all said "Early".

Li Xiangdong was originally idle, because of his helpfulness, he was well-known in Guizhou, and his two brothers of the opposite sex were called "Yelang Sanjie" by the rivers and lakes, he had promised Long Huayang, the son of Long Bayan, the lord of Yelang Valley, to help him find his father-killing enemy, he now needs to leave from Tianlong Tunbao, and then go to fulfill his promise, practice his creed of helping others, he went to Shen Mu's father Shen Ji to say goodbye, and then said goodbye to Mengxuan, Shen Mu and the three of them, and traced them around.

First of all, Li Xiangdong tracked down the murderer, and asked about leaving Tianlong Tunbao to return to Xianglu Mountain. On that day, after Su Wen left Tianlong Tunbao, he did not return to Xianglu Mountain, but turned southwest to see Mr. Hongya, who lived in Hongya Cave, which was more than 70 miles away from Tianlongtunbao. Su Wen walked on the avenue under the scorching sun, and met six lightly dressed people, two women and four men, one of the older was coughing, a woman rushed forward to support, the woman saw Su Wen coming, and asked: "Do you know that there is a doctor there recently?" Su Wen is a doctor, and it is his original intention to study medicine to treat diseases and save people, and now the woman asked him, he did not hide that he would be able to Qi Huang, so he stepped forward to look at the man's injury, half sun, he asked the man: "Have you suffered internal injuries?" Another woman heard him tell the cause of the disease, and stepped forward to grab his shirt hard, "Who are you?" Su Wen listened to her, and paused slightly, because it was a man's voice, and he also knew what they meant, they didn't want others to know that they had internal injuries, so they replied, "Prescribe the right medicine, I don't know how to take the medicine for the cause?" He looked at these people's yin and yang weirdness, and continued: "Let's go, go find someone else to heal!" The older man waved his hand to let the other woman and male voice step back, and said, "Can there be a cure?"

After Su Wen was picked up by the man who looked like a woman, he was displeased, so he replied to the man lukewarmly, and said, "Yes!" Then he said the method of treatment, took the needle he carried with him and pricked the man with a few needles, and then wrote a prescription to him, "You have to use force within half a year, otherwise there will be no surgery." When the man heard this, his brows tightened, but he still paid the treatment fee politely, and Su Wen accepted it and resigned, and they all hurried away.

Su Wen came to the front of the Red Cliff Cave, a little surprised, because this place has changed, different from when he left five years ago, there have been some more red strange symbols on the mountain rock, the symbols seem to be painted like words, the calligraphy and painting are integrated, the size is different, the big one is like a bucket, the small one is like a rise, the font is not the same, the gesture is simple, the structure is strange, although the arrangement is out of order, but it is also scattered. Su Wen looked at the strange symbols for a while, and then went into the Red Cliff Cave to meet Mr. Red Cliff.

"You're here?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"There are only two of you and me here, and what do you say about the emperor or not, just like others, call me Red Cliff!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare!"

"What don't you dare? It's been more than 20 years since I left Nanjing City, can't I still let go of the emperor's shelf?"

"Your Majesty, what is that strange symbol on the cliff?"

"It's still called the emperor? It was written by me in a dream one day, and when I woke up, I didn't even know what it was, but when I looked closely, it was like a state of life. ”

"Huh?" Su Wen had a slight doubt in his heart, he had never heard of a strange dream.

"But after you left here to go to the incense burner mountain five years ago, I accepted a disciple named Li Xiangdong, who looked at these symbols and realized a set of martial arts methods, 'The benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise', you can also look at it, maybe it will help your medical skills. ”

"Yes. Is that Li Xiangdong, who is known as one of the 'Three Heroes of Yelang'?"

"Hmm!" Mr. Hongya was slightly satisfied with this disciple.

"Zhang's mansion was killed by the enemy at the end of the first month, and he has worked hard to run a business in order to help the emperor return to Nanjing over the years, and I don't know if the property he has accumulated over the years can be preserved?"

"It's all in Nanjing's bank. ”

"That's good. ”

"He is a very loyal courtier, he didn't expect to be killed by the enemy, did he find the person who killed him?"

"I found that the enemy had been driven by his son into the deep hole of the chicken hole. ”

"Then he can rest in peace!" Mr. Hongya looked into the distance with tears in his eyes, and his eyes were much calmer.

"You have lived in the incense burner mountain for the past five years, and Shi Yujie has a good life?"

"Very good, he and his son have gathered 500 people in the incense burner mountain, looking forward to helping the emperor return to the Forbidden City as soon as possible. ”

"Zhang Fu and him have accumulated financial resources and gathered manpower, which can be described as hard work. ”

"Yes, soon we will be able to return to Jingshi together. ”

"Let's wait until August 15 to see them!"

Although Su Wen and Hongya went to the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, they still got along very awkwardly. Su Wen watched those strange calligraphy and paintings in front of the Red Cliff all day long, fascinated and indulged in them, and every time he shared his gains with Mr. Red Cliff, he watched them for several months.

Today, the beginning of autumn has passed, the weather is gradually getting cooler, Su Wen in addition to the calligraphy and painting, but also on the mountain to pick precious herbs, today he went up the mountain to pick medicine but found nothing, only in the farm orchard picked a few large yellow pears put in the medicine basket to carry back, back to the cave, he found that there is a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in the cave, Mr. Hongya introduced: "To the east, this is Su Wen doctor. Li Xiangdong greeted Su Wen politely, and Su Wen knew that the young man was Li Xiangdong, the apprentice of Mr. Hongya. It turned out that Li Xiangdong had been investigating the murderer for a long time without results, so since he left Tianlong Tunbao, he walked to Hongya Cave, one was to visit the master, and the other was to ask the master for planning, so as to find out the murderer as soon as possible, and he arrived at this time.

"Xiangdong, what's the matter with coming to Master this time?"

"Master, recently, Long Bayan, the lord of Yelang Valley, was dismembered, and the apprentices helped track it down, but the murderer could not be found for a long time, so I came to ask Master Yu for advice, and I hope that Master will give advice. ”

"Let me ask you, who is Long Bayan?" Mr. Hongya asked rhetorically.

"The master of Guizhou martial arts. ”

"Why was you killed?"

"It's impossible to kill a vendetta or a challenge to the fame of a rising star in the martial arts, and the apprentice can't think of any other reason to kill, so the apprentice comes to ask the master. ”

"If a person wants to kill the master of martial arts, it is not a vendetta or fame, and the means are so vicious, why is that?"

"Please give me advice," Li Xiangdong pondered for a long time.

"Deterrence! This serves as a deterrent. Li Xiangdong frowned.

Mr. Hongya continued: "I'm afraid this person's purpose is the entire Guizhou martial arts, if this is the case, then he will definitely appear at the Fanjing Mountain Martial Arts Conference." After listening to what the master said, Li Xiangdong finally understood.

"How is Long Bayan's martial arts?"

"Not under Master. ”

"If a man were to kill him, how would the man who killed him be unharmed? Su Wen, who was on the side, listened to Mr. Hongya and said, "Is it ......?"

"Could it be what?" Li Xiangdong hoped that he would continue.

"I once saved a man who was definitely the result of a fight with a master, and the injury was so severe that it would never heal in a few days. ”

"What does it look like?"

"Four men and two women, one of whom was an older man, about his early forties, a woman who looked like a Peugeot, the other two men who held a long sword, and one who looked like a woman. ”

"I can't say it......" Li Xiangdong was surprised, because he couldn't be more familiar with these people.

"What's wrong?" asked Su Wen as well.

"According to what Mr. said, the older one is Lu Li, he was beaten into the abyss by my eldest brother and third brother, and he shouldn't be alive......"

"Have you seen his body?" asked Mr. Redcliffe.

"Nope. ”

"Things in the world are fickle. If you don't see the body, you can't jump to conclusions. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

"The search has narrowed down, the target has been locked, you can go after it now. "Mr. Hongya is not very nostalgic for this apprentice, because he understands that without the pain of separation, he will not know how to cherish every reunion, and he wants Li Xiangdong to cherish the time and decide that things should be done immediately, because no one can be sure what will happen in the next moment.

Coming and going in a hurry, Li Xiangdong and Master met for only an hour, he said goodbye to Master and Su Wen, and now he is leaving again.

Before leaving, he asked Su Wen where he met those people and where he went, and Su Wen asked that the place he encountered was outside Tianlong Tunbao, and taught him to go to Guiyang City to explore.
