Chapter 8: Stories in the Rivers and Lakes
"Beichuan is lonely and extremely borderland, and the bloody clothes drive the tiger and wolf cave. There are people in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, and it is difficult for iron riders to cross the Qingfeng Wall. ”
With the mountains and rivers as the muscles and bones, and the mountains and rivers as the muscles, it seems to be transformed by the gods, and people call it the land of China. The Wu Dynasty is in the middle, the Xu Kingdom in the north, the Jinyang Kingdom in the south, the Dali Mountains in the west, and the southeast sea is a foreign land.
The land of Shenzhou in the Wu Dynasty is divided into seven continent counties: Qinling, Tangchuan, Beichuan, Shengzhou, Zhaoxi, Yuyang, Dinghai, and the large and small villages and towns in its Zhou County are dotted with stars and countless. Qingfeng City is now a fortress in Beichuan, Wu Dynasty.
Even if Qingfeng City is a thriving scene today, a song by the ancients "Fierce Generals" still makes people deeply impressed by its steep terrain - barren cliffs, bottomless black abysses, Rao is a master of the rivers and lakes who will practice light skills to the gods, if there is nowhere to borrow, he can only hate the bottom of the cliff. If you want to travel in Qinling and Beichuan, you must pass through Qingfeng City, otherwise, you can only go around Shengzhou in the east, cross the Taiping River, and then enter the border of Beichuan.
It was night, and the two brother and sister, Jian Piaoyun and Jian Piaoxue, were sitting on the bed side together, chatting for a long time.
"Little brother, is this token of the Divine Capture Gate really useful?" The second sister was suspicious when she heard Jian Piaoyun's words, how could there be a cheap big brother on the road who could give him such a valuable thing with a meal?
Jian Piaoyun was convinced of Song Cong'an's words, "Just because I saved his person, he treats me as a brother, Brother Song is bold and straightforward, and there will be no mistakes." ”
"Then let's leave immediately tomorrow, if the female thief is really as you expected, she can only pass through Qingfeng City, and then my sister will help you take down the female thief together, recapture the Lingyun Sword, and let her see the power of my sword fluttering snow and blazing sun sword technique!"
Jian Piaoyun was secretly moved in his heart. The second sister is good at everything, but she is too easy to deceive and dote on him. Because he said that he didn't like the "sword", he came all the way to the Guyue faction to practice swordsmanship; when he was a child, he played at home, saying that he wanted to marry him, and now she is slim and slim, and she is in her second decade, and the dowry is arranged from the top of Li Mountain to the foot of Li Mountain, but she just doesn't marry, and the reason is not unrelated to Jian Piaoyun.
"By the way, this time I went down the mountain to practice, I got a baby, second sister, do you know the purple heart Bodhi?"
The second sister touched the bracelet on his wrist and frowned: "Purple Heart Bodhi? What is it? I haven't heard of it, is there anything magical?"
"Second sister, you urge the internal force to try it in the palm of your hand. ”
"Well, that's it?" Jian Piaoxue did so, but nothing happened.
"Huh, strange, why is this happening?" Seeing this, Jian Piaoyun was taken aback, because he obviously sensed that this Purple Heart Bodhi had rejected the second sister's internal force, and thought: Could this Purple Heart Bodhi still recognize the master?
This Purple Heart Bodhi's reaction made him puzzled, so he simply put it aside, and he asked, "Second sister, is our Lingyun Sword Sect very famous in the rivers and lakes?"
"That's natural, there are more small sects and sects in the world, and the Lingyun Sword Sect can be famous all over the world, naturally it is not comparable to some small sects. Brother, you didn't hear anything outside the window before, why did you care about this?"
Jian Piaoyun replied: "This time the head sword was lost by me, and it also made me understand what kind of life I yearn for in my heart, second sister, I have decided, after this incident, I will travel to the land of Shenzhou and make a name for myself!"
The second sister smiled and grabbed her brother's big hand and said, "My little brother has finally opened his mind!
"This time I went north, the younger brother finally knew the prestige of our Lingyun Sword Sect, and the thing that impressed the younger brother was the people of Xu Guo, and the Wuji Gate, sister, if you know a thing or two, my brother will listen to you!"
"Ahem. In this land of Beichuan, there are two major sects, one of which is the Guyue faction in this Qingfeng City, and the disciples can be said to be all over Shenzhou, and it is one of the major sects in Shenzhou, and the Burning Sun Sword Technique practiced by my sister is the inner door sword technique of the Guyue Sect, which is extremely domineering. The second is the 'Wuji Gate' located at the top of Beichuan, the people of Wuji Gate are pure and have few desires, and they are dedicated to self-cultivation and Taoism, and they seem to have some friendship with the Tianji Gate. ”
The second sister pulled Jian Piaoyun, leaned on his shoulder, and continued: "Then there is our Lingyun Sword Sect, our grandfather 'Sword Lingyun' was recognized by the world by virtue of his super martial arts, and created the Lingyun Sword Sect on the Li Mountain in the Qinling Mountains. Although we are tired of seeing the scenery there, it is undeniable that the Li Mountain is covered with clouds and mist all the year round, the snow is difficult to melt, the plum blossoms are often blooming, the scenery is extremely beautiful, and it is also praised by the people in the rivers and lakes as 'a little fairyland on earth'! ”
Jian Piaoyun nodded, expressed his approval, and asked, "I also heard that there is a mastiff in Tangchuan called the Qilin Mastiff, what is the magic?"
The second sister was surprised: "You actually know the origin of the unicorn mastiff? My little brother has really grown up! Yes! As we all know, the Beichuan horse is shocking to the world, but Tangchuan, there is a kind of mastiff that is more precious than the Beichuan horse, that is, the unicorn mastiff! The unicorn mastiff is loyal, and when it is a puppy, it can make the jackal retreat, not to mention that when it becomes an adult, it can also make the lion and tiger respect it for three points!"
Jian Piaoyun sighed and said: "There really is such a fierce beast in the world, the little brother has been taught!"
"Does that sister know about the Divine Dart Game?" replied Jian Piaoyun.
"Shenxingdao, oh, you're talking about Shenxingtang, right?"
"Kamixingdo?"
"Yes, the Shenxing Dart Bureau, the people in the rivers and lakes call it Shenxingtang, it is the largest dart bureau in Shengzhou in the Central Plains, and even in the land of Shenzhou, the momentum is huge, and as soon as the Shenxingtang's 'Shenxing Dart' comes out, the mission will be achieved!"
Jian Piaoyun asked cheaply, "What if it doesn't arrive?"
The second sister snorted and said, "If it can't be achieved, something big will happen in the rivers and lakes, even in the land of China!"
"Ahem, I haven't heard of the 'Shenxingtang' running 'Shenxingdang' in the past two years, but there is a large group of people who have become famous in Shengzhou, called the 'Beggar Gang'. Originally, it was a temporary gang of displaced and homeless beggars gathering to support each other, but I didn't expect that in the past two years, the beggar gang has faintly had the trend of being the largest gang in the rivers and lakes!"
"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. Sure enough, no matter what dynasty it is, there are beggars!" Jian Piaoyun muttered softly.
"What did you say?" "It's nothing, sister, have you heard of Sima Yuwen?"
When the second sister heard this name, she was a little weak-hearted, and secretly glanced at Jian Piaoyun, and saw that his face was as usual, so she said with confidence: "I heard my father tell me, he is the son of Sima Lie, the heir of Lingxiu Palace, 'Lingxiu Palace' is in Dinghai, and most of the people in Lingxiu Palace are suave and leisurely, and they don't care about the world." "Are there any other big sects, do you know about it?"
Jian Piaoxue hesitated, shook her head and said, "Those are what my sister can tell you, and the rest depends on the younger brother to go out and break through by himself, so that we can know!" After Jian Piaoxue finished speaking, she felt that her mouth was dry, and she couldn't help licking her dry lips, but it made Jian Piaoyun feel confused. He hurriedly asked again: "Then which sect is my Brother Song's Divine Capture Sect?"
Jian Piaoxue slapped her little hand and said, "Oh, if you don't mention it, my sister almost forgot about this stubble." The god catches the door, in fact, it is another name for the official mission. A hundred years ago, the ordinary officials of the Wu Dynasty couldn't help the bandits with high martial arts in the rivers and lakes at that time, and the first emperor of the Wu Dynasty was furious, so he opened a sect in the imperial city of 'Zhaoxi' - Liuzhou City, called the 'God Hunting Gate', to deal with those gangsters in the rivers and lakes who endangered the people and ordinary officials could not deal with them. ”
Jian Piaoyun understood it in his heart after hearing this, and it sounded a bit like a modern special forces.
After listening to the second sister's opinions, Jian Piaoyun suddenly became enlightened and had a general understanding of these sects in the rivers and lakes.
"By the way, when you are out of the house, there is one thing that the little brother needs to pay attention to!"
"What's the matter?"
"Junior brother, do you know who is the person who negotiates with our Grand Elder Lu Qingping every year?" The second sister said mysteriously: "That person is the person of 'Wanlihua', and the 'Wanlihua' is the largest chamber of commerce recognized by the land of Shenzhou! Moreover, even Jinyang Kingdom has the banner of Wanlihua! Therefore, junior brother, if you meet someone from Wanlihua outside, you should be polite and polite, and don't lose your sense of proportion!"
Jian Piaoyun touched his chin, digesting the information that the second sister said. Then he looked at the sky and said with concern: "Thank you second sister for telling me, the younger brother knows." I see that it is getting late, so my younger brother will go back to my room first, and my sister will rest early. ”
"Okay, you're a negative man! When you run out of sister, pat your ass and leave, your sister won't do it!" When Jian Piaoxue heard this, she pretended to be angry, became angry, grabbed his sleeve, puffed out her cheeks and coquettishly, very cute.
Jian Piaoyun covered his face and sighed: "Alas, my good sister, if my father and mother hear this, I will have to beat me to only one bone!"
"Are you afraid of Daddy? I see, except for the eldest sister, no one in our family can cure you!" the second sister said with a smile as she lifted her drooping sideburns.
"And the little sister. Jian Piaoyun added, and suddenly felt that he had said the wrong thing, and was silent.
The second sister saw that he was displeased, so she took his hand and comforted him: "The little sister's injury was not caused by you, but by those little sisters...... It seems that after so many years, you still can't let go, little brother!"
Jian Piaoyun withdrew his hand and said, "Sister, don't say it, if my little sister hadn't been here to save me, she wouldn't have ended up like this." I swear that in my lifetime, I will heal my little sister's wounds and let her get back on her feet!" He said with a hint of guilt and firmness.
