Chapter 53: Yuwen Songxian
Youming and Yuwen Songxian helped Yi Dan back to the inn room, and Youming put Yi Dan on the bed.
After a while, Yuwen Song first served a bowl of medicine and said to Youming: "She has been poisoned by Qixiang intoxication, drink this bowl, the antidote I brewed."
"Thank you Yuwen senior, may I ask what kind of poison is this Qixiang Intoxicating Heart?
"Seven spices are made with seven spices and the fruit of a mandala, and they smell fragrant, but after a moment they become unconscious. But as long as you drink the antidote made of licorice, mung bean, honeysuckle, and forsythia a few times in time, you can detoxify," Yu Wensong said first.
"En, that's good, then it's hard Yuwen senior" After saying that, Youming took the decoction, tasted it gently, picked up Yi Dan, and fed it to her mouth with a spoon.
At dawn, Yi Dan was frightened by a nightmare and woke up. I opened my eyes in a daze and saw Youming being by the bedside, staring at her with wide eyes. On the stool not far away, Yuwen Songxian was already snoring.
"Senior sister, it's great that you've finally woken up," Youming shouted happily.
"Senior brother, is it really you, I had a nightmare, it's terrible," Yi Dan said, taking Youming's hand.
Youming sat on the edge of the bed, hugged Yi Dan in his arms and said, "Senior sister is me, don't be afraid, the nightmare is over"
"Senior brother, how long have I been asleep?" Yi Dan asked, looking up.
"From last night to now. Senior sister, are you feeling better now?" asked Youming.
"Last night, what happened last night?" Yi Dan tapped his head and thought hard, and suddenly said in horror: "Oops, I seem to remember." Last night I, almost, I just... Hey..."Yi Dan stopped talking.
"It's okay senior sister, it's all over. The rivers and lakes are sinister, don't trust others too easily in the future," Youming comforted.
"I remembered that it was the man who first deliberately bumped into me, soiled his clothes, and then asked me to accompany him to buy clothes, that was him. Then he took me to a cloth shop, and after I smelled a piece of clothing, I didn't know anything. I still remember that those two villains wanted to bully me, I tried my best to use martial arts, but I didn't have any strength in my body, it was like I was in a nightmare and was fascinated, and I couldn't move if I wanted to," Yi Dan recalled little by little.
"This time, thanks to this Yuwen senior of the Yangzhou branch of the Knife Sharpening Gang, if he hadn't helped him, I am afraid that the future space would be unimaginable," he said, Youming said and pointed to Yuwen Songxian, who was sleeping soundly next to him.
Yi Dan looked sideways at Yuwen Songxian's face and asked, "He, isn't he the uncle who helped me find my burden on the street yesterday?"
"Yes, Yuwen senior said, the blade palm you used to save the child yesterday, he recognized this palm, so he has been quietly following us, how do you know that he happened to meet you and was deceived away, he followed all the way over, and only then did he know your approximate whereabouts, otherwise I wouldn't be able to think of that place even if I wanted to break my head" Youming said.
"Well, I vaguely remember that there seems to be a masked woman who also saved me, who is she?" Yi Dan asked.
"You said that the woman with a white veil and a masked face, listening to Yuwen's seniors, that woman is very likely to be a member of the Ningkun faction. It's just that she behaved strangely, and then she left when she saw that you were safe and sound, but I should still thank her, if she hadn't led the way, I wouldn't have known that you would be locked up in such a remote place," Youming said.
"It seems that this Ningkun faction is indeed a chivalrous gang, we must pay a good visit, and thank them well," Yi Dan said.
Youming yawned, and Yi Dan asked, "Senior brother, haven't you slept until now?"
"I don't know when you'll wake up, senior sister, so I've been guarding you," Youming said.
"It's really hard for you, junior brother," Yi Dan said.
"It's okay, it should be, as long as you're safe and sound, senior sister," Youming said.
"Yes. It seems that the world is really not as simple as I imagined," Yi Dan said.
"yes, I'm glad I didn't let you out alone. I will protect you well in the future," Youming said, hugging Yi Dan.
"How much I wanted to use martial arts at that time, but I couldn't do anything, I'll try it now" With that, Yi Dan used his blade palm and cut off a leg of the stool next to him, falling to the ground with a "clang" sound.
Yuwen Song was woken up by the sound first, jumped up and shouted, "What's wrong?
"Senior Yuwen, are you awake?" asked Youming.
"Oh yes, you're awake too?" Yuwen Song came back to his senses first.
Yi Dan hurriedly lifted the quilt and walked out of bed, came to Yuwen Songxian, bowed deeply and said: "Senior Yi Dan, thank you for the life-saving grace of Yuwen's seniors"
"Don't don't be a girl, don't be so polite, why worry about raising your hands," Yuwen Song said again and again.
"Yuwen's predecessors and I are in the water, but I can take the risk to rescue, this heart, Yi Dan is grateful, and please accept the next bow" Saying, Yi Dan was about to kneel down and salute, Yuwen Song quickly helped Yi Dan to get up: "Girl, don't do this big gift, Yu Wen Song can't stand it first"
"Yuwen's predecessor saved me, of course I can afford it. My junior and brother and I just spoke, and we woke up Senior Yuwen, and asked Senior Haihan," Yi Dan said politely.
"Girl, where are you talking about this, listen to Brother Youming, you are all friends of Ouyang's gang leader. That being the case, of course, is also a friend of my Yuwen Songxian. How can I let my friends be wronged on my Yangzhou turf," Yuwen Songxian said.
"I heard from my junior brother just now, it turns out that Yuwen's predecessor is the Knife Sharpening Gang, the head of Yangzhou, and he is disrespectful," Yi Dan said.
"You're welcome, this mandala is very poisonous, you just wake up and have to rest well," Yuwen Song said with concern.
After Yi Dan sat down, Yuwen Song first continued: "Hey, I, the person in charge, deserve to be a nest, I was originally the fifth-ranked Dharma-holding elder among the five elders of the Youzhou Headquarters of the Knife Sharpening Gang, Virtue, Righteousness, Benevolence, Etiquette, and Law. Since the years before the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the old hall master of Qin retreated to Panyu, and the Knife Sharpening Gang has been fighting endlessly. The elder He Rang attached himself to the Khitan people and wanted to seize the position of the gang leader. What he did had already violated the rules of the Knife Sharpener Gang. As an elder holding the Fa, I gave him advice, but he ignored it completely, and tried to assassinate me several times. In the end, I could only propose to leave the Youzhou headquarters and come to the Yangzhou branch to hide and clean up."
"I see. I also went to the Youzhou Martial Arts Conference last time, and He Rang's insidious and vicious, Brother Ouyang and I have already seen it. He poisoned Brother Ouyang, and Elder Mao Sanzhen, a senior of Zhiren, also died in his hands in order to protect me and Brother Ouyang. I only hated that I was soft at that time, and I didn't kill the thief Herang with my own hands. I will ask him to repay these accounts one day," Yi Dan said through gritted teeth.
"A few days ago, I received a letter from Ouyang Gang Leader, and he also told me about it. I also feel very heartbroken, among the five elders, I am the one who has the best relationship with Elder Mao. I really didn't expect Elder Mao to leave like this. When I left Youzhou, I also persuaded him to come with me, but because he had been kind to He Rang before, He Rang didn't embarrass him much, so he didn't come with me. But unexpectedly, in the end, he still did not escape the clutches of He Rang. This Mao San was shocked, and he did not live up to his title of righteous elder, loyal to death, hero" Yuwen Song said with a sigh.
"That's right, but the first-ranked virtuous elder has no virtue at all. He also forced you, an elder who holds the Fa, to leave the country. If you want me to say, 'Fa' should be ranked first, this virtue, at most second."
"Back then, the loyal elders ranked first, but He let the rules change without permission and put the elders in the first place. Girl, you said that 'Fa' should come first, how can you see it?" Yu Wensong asked first.
"I think it's just a good wish of the ancient sages to want everyone to be morally noble. However, everyone's knowledge, knowledge, and consciousness are also different, so how can they be the same as their virtues? I once knew a senior who was very morally noble, and he used the same method, but he taught a villain who was morally corrupt and deceived his teachers and destroyed his ancestors. Therefore, I think it is unreasonable to demand moral cultivation from the people of the world. And strict laws, regardless of men, women, old and young, respect the noble and lowly, treat everyone equally, is the most useful way to govern the world. So it should be strict first and then advocate morality, hey, it's a pity..."Yi Dan sighed.
"Oh, what is it a pity?" Yuwen Song asked first.
"It's a pity that those laws were made by a small group of people, and they are unfair at the source, so of course this wish is difficult to fulfill," Yi Dan said.
"I didn't expect that the girl had such a bright mind at such a young age to think of these questions. I'm really impressed," Yuwen Song praised first.
"Senior Yuwen, I would like to take the liberty of asking, when you were in Youzhou before, as an elder who holds the Fa, did you ever violate the law of the gang?" Yi Dan asked.
"It's not true, but well, it's a little rule," Yuwen Song said first.
"For example?" asked Yi Dan.
"For example, it's not strictly enforced. Sometimes I meet some old friends and old friends, and I have committed a not very serious gang rule, and because of my friend's face, I just turn a blind eye and fool the past," Yuwen Song said first.
"That is to say, the severity of the punishment depends on Yuwen's senior's own feelings, and no one supervises it, right?" Yi Dan asked.
"Yes, someone supervises it and is your own person," Yuwen Song said first.
"Well, I understand, thank you Senior Yuwen for answering the questions below," Yi Dan said.
"Why did the girl suddenly say these things?" asked Yu Wensong first.
"There was once a senior who had been thinking about these questions all the time during her lifetime, but she never got the answers. I promised her to find answers to these questions for her, so I asked casually whenever I could. If there is any offense, please forgive Yuwen seniors," Yi Dan said honestly.
"No, no. Where is the girl, you are entrusted to ask these questions, it can be seen that you are a person who believes in his word, how can I blame you" Yuwen Song said first.
"It's good that Senior Yuwen isn't angry, thank you," Yi Dan said.
"Girl, you are really a different person, if it were any other woman, after such a fright last night, she would still be shouting and trembling. But you are so calm, and you still discuss knowledge with me, I really admire your mind. I heard from Ouyang's gang leader that a girl saved him when he was in Youzhou. Could it be you, Miss Yi?" asked Yu Wensong first.
"Where, where. Brother Ouyang is serious, we saved each other," Yi Dan said modestly.
Yuwen Song first showed a surprised expression, and hurriedly stood up and said: "I didn't expect it to be really you, girl, thank you for the girl's righteous rescue of the Ouyang gang leader, otherwise our hundreds of years of famous Jianghu Tingfeng Tang will be turned into a 'demon' knife gang by He, a dog thief."
Yi Dan looked at Yuwen Songxian in confusion, Yuwen Songxian reacted first, and quickly explained: "Oh, I'm talking about the 'devil' of 'devil'"
When Yi Dan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Senior Yuwen, you are so funny. However, when I first heard the name of the Knife Sharpening Gang, I thought it was the 'devil' of the 'devil', but it was later that my master explained it to me, and I learned the truth."
Yuwen Song heard this first, and also laughed. At this time, Youming opened his mouth and said: "Senior sister, Yuwen's predecessor is not only funny, you didn't see him teach the mother-in-law of the Spring Appreciation Courtyard last night, that is called funny."
When Yi Dan heard this, he immediately became interested and asked, "Oh, is it? May I ask how Senior Yuwen taught that mother-in-law a funny lesson last night?"
Youming was just about to speak, but Yuwen Song coughed twice in embarrassment and signaled not to say any more. Youming said: "Okay, since Yuwen's predecessors don't want to mention it, then I won't say it."
"What the hell is going on, why is it so mysterious?" Yi Dan asked curiously.
"Yuwen's predecessor's swordsmanship is so powerful, it only took a blink of an eye to turn that mother-in-law's face into an eighty or ninety-year-old old woman," Youming said with a smile.
"What do you mean, I don't understand," Yi Dan asked.
"Oh, he's talking about my swordsmanship, which is one of the three great stunts of our Sharpening Knife Gang, called 'Sharpening Time Sword Technique'," Yuwen Song explained first.
"That's right, this sword technique, with a lightning speed, can instantly cut hundreds of wounds on the epidermis of a human face, but it does not hurt blood vessels, and the person who is scratched does not feel pain. The peeled skin drooped down layer by layer and became wrinkled, and the whole face immediately collapsed, and decades of time were lost in the blink of an eye. That's why it's called 'Sharpening Time Swordsmanship.'" Am I right? Yuwen senior," Youming repeated sentence by sentence.
"That's right, that's it. I will never use this sword technique indiscriminately, but last night the woman was honest and hateful, so I gave her a lesson, so that she would not dare to bully people in the future" Yuwen Song said first.
Hearing this, Yi Dan burst out laughing: "Really? Hahahaha, I didn't expect there to be such an interesting swordsmanship in the world? It's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes last night." Seriously, I'd love to see it for myself."
That Yuwen Songxian said humorously: "Or, try it on your face?"
Yi Dan quickly covered his face, leaned back, and said, "Ah, don't you?"
With that, all three of them burst out laughing. The atmosphere in the whole house is very harmonious and warm. This is also the only time that Yi Dan has laughed heartily since he knew his background. Thanks to this humorous and wise Yuwen Songxian. Chatting, chatting that Yi Dan and Na Yuwen Songxian had no barrier, the three of them had nothing to say, and Youming didn't even feel sleepy.
Soon it was noon, and the three of them had dinner at the inn. Yi Dan asked Yuwen Song first, "Senior Yuwen, may I ask where this Ningkun Sect is in Baoying?"
"I don't know exactly where this Ningkun Sect is in Baoying. All I know is that these Ningkun sects are all women, and their rules are very strange. It seems that there is no man in sight, and if a man breaks in, he will be killed," Yuwen Song said first.
"How can there be such a strange sect?Then do you know what kind of women are in this Ning Kun sect?" Yi Dan asked again.
"When the women of the Ningkun faction walked the rivers and lakes, they were all veiled. It is said that if any man sees them, he must be killed," Yuwen Songxian said.
"Ahh
"How can you think so beautifully, you have to die, there is no second way to choose. I have been here in Yangzhou for several years, and I have heard a lot about the name of this Ningkun faction, and it is said that many of the women of the Ningkun faction were abandoned by men, or they were rescued from the Qinglou, so they all hate men very much," Yuwen Songxian said.
Hearing this, Youming looked at Yi Dan with strange eyes. Yi Dan asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Youming asked strangely: "Senior sister, should you hate men in the future, right?"
"Senior brother, I said that you used to be quite honest, but I didn't expect that you have only been out for a few days, why did you become so oily and smooth," Yi Dan said jokingly.
"I'm just worried about you, I'm afraid you hate me," Youming said seriously.
"You're a boy in my heart at best. Even if I hate men, I won't hate you, so don't worry," Yi Dan also comforted jokingly.
"What, it turns out that you still treat me as a child? I've been out with you for so long, don't you think that I've grown up now and am already a big man?" Youming asked solemnly.
"All right, big man. Then tell me, how are you going to deal with the women of the Ningkun Sect who specialize in killing big men?" Yi Dan asked.
"It's... I don't know..."Youming stammered and couldn't answer.
"Senior Yuwen, we want to visit this Ningkun Sect, how can we find that Ningkun Sect?" Yi Dan asked.
"I don't know why the two of you want to go to the Ningkun Sect?" asked Yuwen Song first.
"Since Senior Yuwen is a friend of Brother Ouyang. That's not a secret, my parents and relatives died in the hands of the three emperors of the Zhu family of Daliang, and this time I came out with my junior brother to find the knights of the world, and to fight against the tyrannical Liang together, to avenge my parents, and to eliminate harm for the people of the world."
"I didn't expect you to have such great ambitions, girl, Yuwen really admires someone. We are weak in the martial arts, and we shouldn't have confronted the imperial court. However, I appreciate your filial piety and sense of responsibility for the world, if you don't dislike it, I am willing to help you," Yuwen Songxian said briskly.
When Yi Dan heard this, he was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Great, I really didn't expect Yuwen's predecessors to be so deeply aware of righteousness, please accept the next bow" After saying that, he got up and wanted to kneel down and bow.
Yuwen Song hurriedly helped Yi Dan and said, "Don't don't, the matter hasn't been done yet, don't be in a hurry to thank you first." The first time I saw you, girl, I felt that there was an indescribable fate, maybe this is fate. Just because the two of us have such a similar temper, I want to help you if I say anything, haha, haha"
"Yi Dan, thank you again for Yuwen's senior," Yi Dan thanked again and again.
"Stop shouting from seniors and seniors. Since we are so compatible, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Brother Yuwen in the future," Yuwen Song said heartily.
"How can this be done? Yuwen's seniors are older than you, you don't dare to be so disrespectful," Yi Dan hurriedly said.
"You say that, you just think I'm old?" Yuwen Song asked first.
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, you misunderstood" Yi Dan quickly explained.
"Since you don't think I'm old, then call me Brother Yuwen from now on, it's decided," Yuwen Song said first.
"Well, since you are so sincere, then you have no choice but to be respectful and obey your fate, Brother Yuwen," Yi Dan shouted with a smile.
"That's right, haha, haha, I just like your refreshing personality, fall in love with me, hahahaha" Yuwen Song said heartily.
"Brother Yuwen, my junior brother and I originally planned to go to the Ningkun Sect to pay a visit, but as soon as this happened last night, it was even more coincidental. This time, I went to the Ningkun faction not only to visit the heroes, but also to visit the door to thank you," Yi Dan said.
"Okay, since you're going, I'll go with you," Yuwen Song said first.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that the Ningkun Sect wouldn't let the men go, in case theyโ" Yi Dan said worriedly.
"That's the rule for ordinary people, I'm a martial artist, and I'm the head of the Knife Sharpening Gang Yangzhou, I believe they should give some face," Yu Wensong speculated first.
"Well, let's hope so. But what should I do with him?" Yi Dan asked.
"This is easy to do, I see that your junior brother has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but he looks a little like a female doll. Why don't you just dress him up as a little girl and mix him in together?"
When Yi Dan heard this, he smiled evilly at Youming: "Senior brother, it's time for you to behave." Either you can be a woman like your senior sister, how about it?"
"How can this work, how can I pretend to be a woman as a seven-foot man? No, no, absolutely not" Youming solemnly refused.
"Senior brother, you were still saying just now that you have grown up and are a manly husband. Why did you regret it so quickly?" Yi Dan said smartly.
"How can you regret it? It's because you're a manly man that you can't pretend to be a woman, that's so strange," Youming said.
"There is a saying that 'a big husband can bend and stretch', and Han Xin, in order to realize his wishes, endured humiliation and burden, and even dared to drill his crotch. This is the husband who can bend and stretch, you can't stand this grievance? Hmph, after I see it, I still have to call you a little fart" Yi Dan used the agitation method to stimulate Youming.
"Could it be... Is there no other way?" asked Youming suspiciously.
"No, this is the only way, if you want to be a big husband, you have to start as a little girl. How about it? Do you dare to let it go?" Yi Dan asked.
Youming turned his heart sideways and said: "Death is death, for the sake of senior sister's big business, I will give it a try." But if it's not pretty, you can't laugh at me."
"I won't laugh at you, just relax," Yi Dan said.
"That's right, that's right, definitely don't laugh," Yuwen Songxian also echoed.
Yi Dan pushed Youming to the dresser, gave him a little girl's hair ornament, brought a bow hairpin, drew eyebrows, painted eyes, and pressed lip red with red paper. finally changed him into a set of white light gauze clothes, and suddenly, Youming changed. The originally handsome face, like this, really looks like a delicate and lovely pure girl in the boudoir.
After dressing up, Yi Dan dragged Youming out and said to Yuwen Songxian: "How about Brother Yuwen, my little junior sister, how much more beautiful is it?"
Yuwen Song turned his head to look at it first, and when he saw Youming's change, he couldn't help but praise: "Oh, I didn't expect you, a young man, to dress up like this, you really look like a little girl." Yes, yes, I think it's a lot more beautiful than those girls in the Spring Appreciation Courtyard. Haha, haha" After saying that, Yuwen Song laughed again.
Youming said in a rough voice: "Senior sister, Brother Yuwen, you said that you won't make fun of me."
"Ouch, don't open your mouth to speak. Your delicate face, if you make this sound again, my goosebumps will fall to the ground," Yuwen Song reminded first.
"What should I do, this voice can't be changed," Yi Dan said in embarrassment.
"Isn't this simple? just pretend to be dumb, isn't it?" Yuwen Song said first.
"Yes, yes, yes, this method is very good, just pretend to be my dumb junior sister, how about it?" Yi Dan said.
"It's already like this anyway, what else can I do?" Youming said helplessly.
"It's still Brother Yuwen's ideas," Yi Dan praised.
"That's, don't you see what my Knife Sharpening Gang does, disguise yourself, and find out the best news in the world," Yuwen Song said proudly.
"Alright then, everything is ready, let's go. Trouble Brother Yuwen to lead the way," Yi Dan said.
"Wait a minute, I'll go back and get a horse, prepare something, and then say hello to the disciples in the gang, and I'll be here soon," Yuwen Song said first.
"Well, okay Brother Yuwen, let's wait for you here. Yi Dan said.
After saying that, Yuwen Song turned around and went out first.
