Just a few days after Fang Mian defeated Nangong Annihilation, Jin Bing marched from Fengxiang and went straight to Monk Yuan. www.biquge.info At this time, the monk was originally only Wu Jue and Wu Ling, two brothers, led thousands of newly defeated soldiers to guard, the enemy was outnumbered, and the military reserves were scarce, the situation was very crisis, and the soldiers were also very frightened and had no fighting spirit. At this time, Wu Jue encouraged the three armies and said: "I am here, the enemy does not dare to advance beyond me, keep the position, and protect the land of Shu." After listening to Wu Jue's words, the morale of the soldiers was high, and under his command, the Song army took advantage of the favorable terrain to engage in close combat with the Jin soldiers. From the morning to noon, both sides were exhausted, Wu Jue took advantage of the situation to invest a new force, the Song army was like a tiger with wings, bravely killed the enemy, the Jin soldiers could not resist, countless casualties, defeated dozens of miles.
In this battle, the Song army won more with less and attacked the strong with the weak, which greatly boosted the morale of the Song Dynasty's military and civilian struggle against Jin. In addition, Fang Mian was completely defeated in the battle of Mount Tai and destroyed Nangong, and this double victory spread to all places, making the military and people of the entire Song Dynasty more determined to resist Jin.
At this time, Liu Qingzhou took Jiang Xu to leave Mount Tai and arrived in Chuzhou, and when he heard the news, he was naturally overjoyed. He wanted to celebrate with others, but at this time, except for Jiang Xu, a child, there was no one he knew. So he rented a boat, brought wine and food, and ordered the boatmen to go up the river, and he wanted to go on a boat and drink, and then take a good look at the beautiful scenery of the river.
Ten days later, Liu Qingzhou returned to Hengshan with Jiang Xu, and the three of them had another junior brother, so they were naturally very happy. Many years later, the four disciples of the Hengshan faction, "Jian Qing Taoxu", shook the rivers and lakes and made a great reputation, which was also something that Liu Qingzhou did not meet.
Jiang Xu's body is relatively weak, and he is slightly smaller than the three senior brothers, Liu Qingzhou did not rush to teach him martial arts, but just taught him the introductory mental method first, so that he could practice it slowly. Jiang Xu is also angry, and he practices diligently day and night. After a few months, although he is not very good at fist and foot kung fu, his internal strength is still superior, second only to Dugu Jian, who has practiced internal strength for six years, and is a step higher than Lu Qing and Ma Tao. Liu Qingzhou always praises twice. This time, a few little guys didn't say anything, but they were secretly competing in private, and they were all practicing harder.
In the blink of an eye, it was Layue again, and the shopkeepers at the bottom of the mountain came up the mountain one after another. It was still Uncle Sun who took over this package of things. Liu Qingzhou still teaches the four apprentices kung fu, and will also take them down the mountain to go around.
On this day, Liu Qingzhou had just watched Lu Qing finish a set of leg techniques, and Uncle Sun came over with a shopkeeper. Liu Qingzhou saw that he thought there was something wrong with the accounts, so he asked the four of them to practice slowly by themselves.
Turning around and approaching, just about to ask, Uncle Sun spoke first: "The door master, this is the shopkeeper Qu Xing of our rice shop, I don't know if the door owner still remembers?" Liu Qingzhou looked at it carefully, felt very familiar, and indeed had some impressions, and nodded.
Na Qu Xing bowed and saluted: "Door Master, don't you remember? Five years ago, you returned from the Northland, and you stayed with me that night. The little girl's high fever did not go away that night, but it was the master of the door who took action and resolved it. Liu Qingzhou suddenly realized and remembered everything: "Later, I promised you that when your daughter is older, I will bring her up the mountain and take her as an apprentice, right?" Qu Xing nodded again and again: "Yes, the door master, the little girl is ten years old this year, so I thought about sending it here and asking the door master to accept her." ”
Liu Qingzhou thought for a while: "That's good, shopkeeper Qu, after the New Year, you can send your daughter up the mountain." Qu Xing hurriedly replied: "Master of the door, I have discussed with Humble Jing, and when I came today, I brought the little girl over, and let her celebrate the New Year on the mountain, do you think it?" Liu Qingzhou smiled dumbly: "It's okay, then let's go and see it now." With that, the four Dugu Swords were greeted here, and they went to the main hall together.
When I arrived at the main hall, I saw a little girl carved in pink, sitting on a chair beside her, looking around. As soon as she saw Qu Xing, she immediately jumped down from the chair and shouted "Daddy" and threw herself into Qu Xing's arms. Qu Xing hugged the girl and said to Liu Qingzhou: "The master of the door, the child is a little recognized, but it makes the master smile." ”
Dugu Jian and the four of them were very curious, staring straight at the girl. Liu Qingzhou smiled: "It's okay. Qu Xing pulled the girl and said, "Xia'er, hurry, go and see Master." The girl raised her head, looked at Liu Qingzhou a little blankly, and didn't dare to speak. Qu Xing was anxious and pushed her forward: "Xia'er, didn't we say it at home? ”
The girl plucked up her courage, looked up at Liu Qingzhou, and said crisply: "Apprentice Qu Xia, meet Master." Liu Qingzhou touched Qu Xia's little head and smiled: "Good boy, not bad." He turned to Dugu Jian and said, "Jian'er, go to the back hall and get that rose hosta!" Dugu Jian responded and ran out.
After a while, Dugu Jian ran back with a hairpin and handed it to Liu Qingzhou. I saw him put the hairpin in Qu Xia's hand: "Xia'er, this rose hosta can be regarded as a meeting gift from the master." Qu Xia took the hosta and turned her head to look at Qu Xing, only to see him nod, Qu Xing turned his head: "Xia'er, thank you, Master." ”
Liu Qingzhou looked at the four Dugu swords, and then at Qu Xia, laughing heartily, very happy. He said to Qu Xing again: "Shopkeeper Qu, then it's decided, let Xia'er stay here, and in the future, when you and your wife are fine, you will go up the mountain to see her, what do you think?" Qu Xing was very willing and agreed again and again.
So, Qu Xing stayed on the mountain and followed everyone to have a meal, and then went down the mountain and went back. Qu Xia stayed on the mountain and followed the master and brothers to celebrate the New Year.
This is also the most lively year for the Hengshan faction in the past few years, and after Qu Xia got used to it for a few days, she played with the four senior brothers. The five children added a lot of joy to the mountain, and even Uncle Sun's face was always happy.
After the New Year, Liu Qingzhou's requirements for them became stricter, except that Qu Xia had just started practicing, and he didn't feel it. Dugu Jian felt that the master seemed to be a different person, very strict, although he did not scold and scold, but often a glance can make him tremble. So, several people cheered up 120,000 points, practiced hard, and every night when they lay in bed, they felt like their bones were about to fall apart, and they didn't even have the strength to speak.
After seven or eight months in this way, several people found that their kung fu had improved a lot, and then they understood Liu Qingzhou's hard work, and they were very grateful in their hearts.
But not long after, Uncle Sun suddenly fell ill and was bedridden for more than ten days, Liu Qingzhou invited a lot of doctors, and used a lot of various precious medicinal materials, but it did not get better. In this way, he was raised for two months, and it became more and more serious, and he even ate a lot less. In addition to practicing all day long, the five children followed Liu Qingzhou to take care of Uncle Sun.
Qu Xia's tear socket is shallow, every time she sees Grandpa Sun's thin face and high bulging cheekbones, the tears in her small eyes flow out as if a broken thread is broken, which makes several people feel very uncomfortable. On the contrary, Uncle Sun himself is very open-minded, and often jokes with a few little guys. Liu Qingzhou knew that Uncle Sun's illness was at this time, and at this time, it was definitely not a medicine stone that could cure him, unless it was the reincarnation of Du Lu, a miracle doctor who shook the rivers and lakes forty years ago, to show Sun Bo, maybe there was a glimmer of possibility.
But now, Doctor Du has been dead for more than ten years, and his bones have already turned into ashes, so where can he come to treat Uncle Sun?
The New Year is approaching, but Uncle Sun's condition is suddenly much better, and he can even get out of bed and walk, several little guys are very happy, only Liu Qingzhou understands in his heart that this is just a return to the light, Uncle Sun is afraid that time is running out. At this time, although he was sad in his heart, he also knew that life and death depended on heaven, so he cheered up and accompanied Uncle Sun with a smile to spend the year.
Sure enough, less than half a month after the year, Uncle Sun's condition became even more serious, and he couldn't even eat. On this day, Liu Qingzhou sent a few apprentices to practice, and he stayed with Uncle Sun.
After watching a few little guys go out, Uncle Sun said, "Qingzhou, since you succeeded to the head ten years ago, I haven't called you like this again. Liu Qingzhou walked to the side of the bed and nodded: "Yes, Uncle Sun, you said at that time that the head of the house should have the demeanor of the head of the house, so you stopped calling my name." ”
"Time is really fast, in a blink of an eye, the old master has been gone for ten years. Looks like it's time for my old bones to go. ”
"Uncle Sun, you ......."
"Qingzhou, life and death are fateful, you don't have to be sad. I'm in my seventies, so what's not to be satisfied with? ”
"Okay, Uncle Sun, you say. ”
"I don't have any regrets, when I went underground, I met the old master, and he must be very happy to know that you have accepted so many apprentices. There's just one, Qingzhou, and you're in your fifties this year. ”
"Yes, fifty-two. ”
"Yes, they're all fifty-two, you see, Jian'er and they are still young, and I'm going to leave too, what if you're not on the mountain either?"
Liu Qingzhou listened, and his heart sank: "Uncle Sun, what do you mean-"
"Yes, I know that you are old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and you always have to take care of things when you encounter them, but our Hengshan faction can't have no successors. So, can you try not to go down the mountain again in the next few years, teach Jian'er and a few of them well, and carry forward our Hengshan faction?"
Looking at Uncle Sun's eager gaze, Liu Qingzhou thought twice in his heart, and finally made up his mind, he nodded: "Okay, I promise you, Uncle Sun, I won't go down the mountain in the future." ”
Uncle Sun got Liu Qingzhou's promise, a smile appeared on his face, and he stopped talking, and slowly closed his eyes.
A few days later, Sun Bo passed away peacefully, and Liu Qingzhou took five disciples to see him off and buried him next to his master. Although Qu Xia is the latest to start, the youngest, and has the least contact with Uncle Sun, Uncle Sun loves her the most. At this time, she had already cried into tears, and Dugu Jian couldn't stop comforting them.
After Uncle Sun was buried, Liu Qingzhou stood in front of the tomb and said loudly: "Jian'er, you brothers and sisters listen here, it has been decided to be a teacher, from now on, I will no longer go down the mountain, and I will concentrate on teaching you kung fu in the future, with the wish of Uncle Sun." You also have to work harder to live up to Uncle Sun's expectations, understand?"
Dugu Jian, Lu Qing, Ma Tao, Jiang Xu and Qu Xia were all very surprised when they heard this, but what the master had already decided, they naturally had to obey. Dugu Jian, as the eldest disciple, immediately knelt down: "The disciple obeys the master's orders. The disciple will definitely not disappoint Grandpa Sun's expectations. As he spoke, he solemnly kowtowed to Uncle Sun's tomb. The other four also knelt down and made an oath in front of Uncle Sun's tomb.
The mountain wind was whistling, blowing the trees that had just pulled out new leaves, and it seemed that it was also seeing off Uncle Sun......
In addition to teaching a few apprentices kung fu on weekdays, he is reading books and watching history, and occasionally drinking and discussing with Mr. Zhu, who came to teach books, never asked about the things under the mountain.
This year, Dugu Jian is already sixteen years old, and his kung fu has made great progress, in Liu Qingzhou's opinion, he is already the best among the younger generation, Lu Qing and a few of them are a little late in the beginning, and their qualifications are a little inferior, although they are also very good, but after all, they are far from Dugu Jian.
Liu Qingzhou knew that he only practiced and learned every day, and naturally he didn't understand as much as he did in actual combat. Therefore, he began to set aside some time every day to tell a few apprentices about some things in the rivers and lakes, and teach them how to deal with the enemy and defend themselves and save their lives. A few apprentices were naturally able to understand some of Liu Qingzhou's thoughts, so they listened very seriously.
Just a few months later, on this day, Liu Qingzhou called Dugu Jian to the study alone, although Dugu Jian felt strange, but he didn't care, and followed the master to the room.
"Jian'er, unconsciously, it's been more than ten years since you've been here?"
"Yes, Master, exactly eleven years and four months. ”
"Well, over the years, you have asked me about your background many times, but I always felt that you were still young, so I didn't tell you. Now that you're sixteen, it's time to tell you these things. “
"Really, Master?" Dugu Jian jumped up in surprise. Liu Qingzhou smiled and nodded: "You are so old and sensible, these things can also be told to you." “
Saying that, Liu Qingzhou pressed Dugu Jian's shoulder and asked him to sit down, "Jian'er, do you remember what your mother's name is?" Dugu Jian scratched his head: "I don't have any impression." ”
"It's not your fault, you were so young at that time, how could you still remember many things after more than ten years?" Liu Qingzhou smiled dumbly, and then said: "Your mother's surname is Shangguan, and her single name is a 'red' character. And your father is the 'fairy swordsman' Dugu Yun, one of the four great swordsmen of the famous 'Tianxin Flying Immortal'. Speaking of this, Dugu Jian looked shocked and couldn't believe it at all.
Liu Qingzhou looked at Dugu Jian and continued: "Eleven years ago, when I returned from Jinjiang on an errand, I met your mother on the road who was being chased and killed, and she was covered in blood at that time, but she still resisted desperately. When I saw seven strong men bullying a woman, I naturally had to take care of it. Who would have thought that these people are not weak in kung fu, and I also spent a lot of effort to kill five, and two took the opportunity to escape, I originally wanted to catch up, but seeing that your mother was seriously injured, I didn't chase after it, and stayed to heal her quickly. ”
"Master, how seriously was my mother's injury at that time?" Dugu Jian stood up and asked quickly.
Liu Qingzhou thought about it carefully and said: "At that time, your mother was highly poisoned, and there were deep wounds on her shoulders, waist, abdomen, and legs. Your mother pointed to the pile of dead branches where you were hiding, and I took you out again. ”
"Well, after that, I still remember that Master took me and my mother to Qianzhou City, and invited many doctors, but they failed to heal my mother. Dugu Jian said.
Liu Qingzhou was very surprised: "Jian'er, how do you know that it is Qianzhou?" Dugu Jian smiled: "Master, I looked up when I entered the city, but I didn't know the word 'piety', so I kept it in my heart, and then I asked Master Zhu on the mountain, and I only knew." ”
"You've got a heart. Liu Qingzhou approvingly, "Later, before her death, your mother entrusted you to me, told me that your father was 'Fairy Sword' Duguyun, and begged me to take you as an apprentice and help you find your father, so I agreed." In the following years, I have been sending people to look for your father, but I have never heard from you, and it coincided with the southern invasion of the Jin soldiers, and I took your uncles to the north to fight against the Jin, and this matter was delayed. ”
"Master, what about my father, why haven't I heard you talk about it in the past few years?" Dugu Jian asked anxiously.
"Your father is no longer alive. Liu Qingzhou said slowly. When Dugu Jian heard this, he couldn't believe it at all, he retreated again and again, shaking his head: "No, I don't believe it, my father's kung fu is so high, how can he die?"
Liu Qingzhou stepped forward, hugged Dugu Jian, and patted him on the back of the heart: "Jian'er, don't you do this." Dugu Jian shed two lines of tears in his eyes, looked up and asked, "Master, how did my father die?" Liu Qingzhou shook his head and sighed: "I don't know the specific situation, in the past few years, it has been rumored in the rivers and lakes that eight years ago, that is, in the second year of Jingkang, the second saint was hunting in the north, and your father and Zhang Feng went north to Huining Mansion together, intending to rescue the second saint." But who would have thought that Zhang Feng suddenly rebelled, took refuge in the Jin people, and joined forces with Nangong to kill your father. ”
Dugu Jian's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists, "Master, is this news true?" Liu Qingzhou gently took Dugu Jian's hand: "I can't say it well, but I heard that this matter was said by Nangong Xuan himself." When I was on Mount Tai, I originally wanted to ask him personally, but in the end I couldn't do it. ”
As he spoke, Liu Qingzhou took out a letter and handed it to Dugu Jian: "This is a letter from Gu Fengyue, the head of Huashan, from me a month ago, he said that in March, he captured one of Nangong Xuan's subordinates in Fengxiang Mansion, and that person confessed in person, saying that he saw with his own eyes that it was Zhang Feng who killed your father with a sword." ”
Dugu Jian took the letter, opened it and looked at it, only to see that the letter read: "Brother Liu Qingzhou Taijian: Feng caught a thief in Fengxiang Mansion in March this year, this person claimed to be Nangong Xuanzhi's subordinate, I forced him to ask, this person told a lot of secrets about the golden dog." One of the things was that he had seen the 'Flying Sword' Zhang Feng draw his sword and stab the 'Fairy Sword' Dugu Yun to death in front of Nangong Xuan. I feel that this matter is very important, now Zhang Feng is already above the temple, if he really takes refuge in the golden dog, it will be very harmful to my Great Song Dynasty, so I sent a message to Brother Liu, I hope that Brother Liu can be cautious and not be fooled. In addition, I have also sent a letter to Master Wuxu of Shaolin, the head of Taishan Chi Xianqiu, Master Ruixin of Hengshan, the leader of the Beggar Gang Lei Tianlong and others, I hope everyone will take precautions ......."
When Dugu Jian saw this, he scolded angrily: "Zhang Feng dog thief, the revenge of killing his father, I will definitely break your body into ten thousand pieces!"
Liu Qingzhou grabbed Dugu Jian's hands: "Jian'er, I originally didn't believe that Zhang Feng would kill your father, thinking about how good the relationship between the two of them was, treating each other with all sincerity, killing the enemy side by side, and eradicating evil together, but how could it be, alas!" Dugu Jian clenched his fists and looked at Liu Qingzhou: "Master, this person must be for glory and wealth, and he saw that the golden dog was powerful, so he was attracted by Nangong to kill my father and take refuge in the golden dog." ”
At this time, Dugu Jian's heart had a deep hatred for Zhang Feng, but he knew very well that with his current martial arts, he was never Zhang Feng's opponent, and what he could do now was to practice hard to avenge his father.
Liu Qingzhou also sighed, who would have thought that the four swordsmen of the "Tianxin Flying Immortals" who were famous in the past few years are now dead and dead, and those who are traitors are traitors, even the heroes of Fang Mianfang, who defeated Nangong on the top of Mount Tai and were rumored to be "the first in the world", have not heard from him in the past few years.
Liu Qingzhou looked at Dugu Jian and said, "Jian'er, five years ago, Zhang Feng escorted Qin Hui back to the imperial court, and the emperor conferred on him an official position. And now, he is already the commander of the palace, with the heavy responsibility of guarding the palace, in charge of the forbidden army of Mabu and Bu, and he can be regarded as a celebrity around the emperor. If you want to seek revenge on him, it is not a simple matter, we still have to think long-term. ”
"Master, I know that Zhang Feng, this dog thief, is strong in martial arts, and Jian'er will definitely redouble his efforts to practice, and when the time comes, he will definitely slash this thief to comfort my father's spirit in the sky. ”
"Well, Jian'er, if you think like this, you will feel a lot more relieved as a teacher. Indeed, your current kung fu is also very good among the younger generation, but Zhang Feng has been famous for a long time, and even as a teacher, he is not sure that he will defeat him. What's more, now that he has a heavy army, it is really difficult to take his life. ”
"I understand, Master. I will bury this hatred in my heart and will not act impulsively. ”
"Okay, that's it, Jian'er, from tomorrow, I will teach you the highest 'Hengshan Six Styles' in our Hengshan swordsmanship, you have to practice hard. ”
"Yes, thank you, Master!" Dugu Jian naturally knew the subtlety of the 'Hengshan Six Styles', but Liu Qingzhou had never taught him these six moves for so many years, and he had asked many times, but Liu Qingzhou never told him. Today, when he heard that Master was going to pass on these six tricks to himself, he was naturally very happy.
"Jian'er, then you can go back first. Liu Qingzhou said lightly. Dugu Jian answered and exited the room. Liu Qingzhou looked at Dugu Jian's figure and muttered to himself: "Master, I passed on the 'Hengshan Six Styles' to Jian'er so early, and I don't know if it's right or wrong. When you taught me, I was already twenty-two years old, and you said that it was difficult for anyone in my sect to learn the essence of these six moves before the age of twenty. But Jian'er really deserves to be Duguyun's son, talented and intelligent, in the past eleven years, in addition to these six moves, he has learned all the other kung fu, I hope he can learn these last six moves as soon as possible. ”
