Chapter 10: Fighting and Doing (II)
The interrogation sword in Li Qingwan's hand has become a burden, it is not to throw it, it is not to throw it, it is not to throw it, and he is busy dodging sideways, who knows that Liu Shaoqing is more flexible after moving his fingers like a sword, changing his moves halfway, and slashing the "sword" in the air, Li Qingwan felt a wave of cold sword qi coming, and he knew that it was powerful, and he didn't dare to fight back, so he walked away again, but the wide sleeves were pierced by the sword qi A few neat openings, even the tailor's scissors may not be able to cut so neatly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Li Qingwan thought of throwing away the sword of affection, but it was too late, her whole body had fallen under Liu Shaoqing's stormy sword aura, wave after wave, and she didn't even have the kung fu to throw the sword, and after a while, she retreated to the base of the wall, and there was no way to retreat. Liu Shaoqing suddenly attacked in front of him, pinched the interrogation sword with two fingers, and said with a smile: "Agreed." Then he took the sword of interrogation and slowly crossed back.
Li Qingwan let out a sigh and said, "The skills are not as good as others, and I am convinced of the loss." Liu Shaoqing sat back on the rattan chair and said, "It's not that your skills are not as good as mine, if you don't hold a long sword in your hand, the outcome is not yet known." Luo Tianchu laughed and said: "Today can open my eyes, your fingers are as powerful as a sword, so why do you need to use a sword?" Li Qingwan also moved a rattan chair to join them, and discussed: "Yes, isn't it more flexible to use fingers than a sword?" Liu Shaoqing said: "At present, my fingers are only a substitute for a sword, just like my 'Liu Family Five Divine Sword' can't be made with my fingers." Li Qingwan said: "Since the owner of the village has such a trick, why didn't he use it in the first few battles?" Liu Shaoqing said: "The five divine swords of the Liu family are all killing moves, and even I can't control them after using them, so they are not suitable for discussion." Li Qingwan stuck out her tongue and said, "If the owner of the village used those swords to move, I'm afraid I would have been defeated a long time ago." Liu Shaoqing said: "Your internal strength is comparable to Ni Hongyan, but you can't make the best use of it, and your comprehension of "Heavenly Demon Belt" is not enough, otherwise your achievements should be above Ni Hongyan." ”
Li Qingwan was puzzled and said: "I have mastered all the martial arts of the Heavenly Demon Belt, how can I say that my comprehension is not enough?" Liu Shaoqing said: "What you have mastered is just the basic rules of the exercises, but the actual combat is ever-changing. Superior martial arts cannot be learned, and only by constantly comprehending can we master the subtlety, so it is called superior martial arts. Li Qingwan said: "I see, the little girl has been taught." ”
Luo Tianchu said: "The five divine swords of the Liu family, how much has Brother Liu comprehended?" Liu Shaoqing said: "In the past, I could only comprehend three moves, and the fourth move was the 'sword in my heart, everything is a sword' that I used just now, and I have just broken through the bottleneck, and when I fully comprehend it, I can achieve 'everything is for my use'." Luo Tianchu said: "Is that what Master Huishan said, 'There is no sword in your hand, and there is no sword in your heart?'" Liu Shaoqing shook his head and said: "It's just that there is no sword in your hand, if there is no sword in your heart, then what is the meaning of practicing swords, I still can't understand what the master means." And the fifth sword trick is only five words, which also puzzles me, maybe it is the same meaning as what the master said. Luo Tianchu said: "Which five words?" Liu Shaoqing said: "Give up the sword and get the way." Luo Tianchu shook his head and said, "I don't understand either, maybe I will naturally have an epiphany after reaching that realm." ”
Liu Shaoqing said: "How is your "Blood Knife Nine Styles" practiced? I haven't seen you use it yet, I really want to learn this knife technique again." Luo Tianchu sighed: "The first form has not been practiced yet, so I dare not offer ugliness." Liu Shaoqing said: "It's so difficult to practice?" Luo Tianchu nodded and said: "This is the sword technique of the castle master, it is certain that it is difficult to practice, besides, we are in a hurry for days, and I don't have time to practice, so I can't come in a hurry." ”
The three of them talked for a while, and then went back to their houses to rest. After Luo Tianchu went back, he sat on the chair and took off the Blood God Knife, carefully stroked the scabbard, and carefully pulled out the knife, caressing the blade. This knife had the power of earth-shattering ghosts and gods in Ling Junlai's hands, and in his own hands it was a piece of mortal iron, and he couldn't help but remember that Hui Shan said that the Blood God Sword would only glow red in front of the approved owner, but it still hasn't shone brightly, could it be that it doesn't recognize itself? Luo Tianchu knew that this knife was a spiritual object, and whenever he was alone, he would take out the knife, and gently said to the knife: "Knife, knife, I am your new master, why don't you recognize me?"
For the next ten days, they were all on fast horses, and even if they were tired, they insisted on competing every night, and their martial arts all made great progress. After entering Jinghu North Road, there is the boundary between the forces of the Great Song Dynasty and the Dongting Gang, and the prefectures and counties along the way are sparsely populated, and there are almost no men and women in sight, only some old people who are resigned to fate and do not want to move away to stay in their hometowns. On this day, when they arrived at Yueyang City, the guards at the city gate were all Dongting soldiers. Seeing that the defenders were laughing and chatting, their clothes were not neat, and even their spears were rusty, Luo Tianchu secretly shook his head, thinking that the biggest drawback of the peasant uprising was that the military discipline was lax, and this alone was enough to lead to failure.
The defenders also noticed them, as no one had entered the city except them. In order to prevent spies from getting in, the defenders were extremely strict with outsiders, and when they saw that they were carrying weapons, they stepped forward and asked, "Who are you, what are you doing in Yueyang?" Luo Tianchu said: "I have something to see Yang Junshi." The soldier looked at them a few times, saw that they were dressed in shabby, covered in mud, and had a look of contempt in their eyes, and said, "What are you looking for the Great Sage Heavenly King?" Luo Tianchu was curious, and he didn't know when Mrs. Yang called himself the 'Great Sage Heavenly King', and said, "This can only be said after meeting Yang Junshi." The soldier sneered: "Nonsense, how can the Great Sage Heavenly King meet someone like you, I think you are a spy sent by Gou Song." Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "If even you can see who the spy is, that spy is really not clever." The soldier said angrily, "What do you mean?"
At this time, a middle-aged scribe came over and asked, "Why is it noisy?" The soldier hurriedly said respectfully: "Mr. Xia, the identities of these people are suspicious, we have to see the Great Sage Heavenly King, we are interrogating." Xia Cheng met Luo Tianchu and Gongsun Mingyue in Chang'an, and both of them appreciated his talent. Now that Luo Tianchu is wearing a human skin mask, Xia Cheng can't recognize it, and looks at the three of them: "In Xia Cheng, it's the same if the three of you say anything to me." Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "Farewell to Chang'an, Mr. Xia is okay." Xia Cheng recognized his voice and said movingly: "You... You are... Luo Tianchu smiled and nodded. Xia Cheng laughed, took Luo Tianchu's hand and said: "Your guest is here, Xia has been waiting for many days, please, please." The soldier wondered, "Mr. Xia... They... Xia Cheng said: "There are no eyes and no beads, there is no distinction between friend and foe, stand at your post well." The soldier Nono stepped back.
Xia Cheng and Luo Tianchu entered the city hand in hand, Xia Cheng said: "The castle master's disguise technique is too exquisite, although Xia is sure that he is the castle master, he still wants to see the true face of Lushan." Luo Tianchu laughed, took off the human skin mask, and revealed his true face, Xia Cheng smiled with relief: "This time I can rest assured." Knowing that the castle lord was coming to help us fight against Yue Fei, the generals of our gang were very happy, and guessed that the castle lord would enter the city from the direction of Yueyang, and Xia was waiting here. Luo Tianchu said: "There is Mr. Lao Xia." When he saw that there was no one on the street, he asked, "Why is the city so deserted, and where have the people gone?" Xia Cheng said: "I have set up seventy-two water villages, and most of the residents in the city have moved to settle down, and each water village is a village. ”
The two were talking, and the eyes were cheerful, and the vast blue water lake came into view, with smoke and mist, hazy and green, flat boats and fishing fires, and sorrow near the water. The first high-rise building on the left can overlook the panoramic view of Dongting, which is the world-famous Yueyang Tower, Fan Zhongyan wrote "The Story of Yueyang Tower" in this building, but there is only one sentence "full of gloom" in response to the situation of the situation.
Xia Cheng said: "Is it the first time that the castle master has come to Dongting?" Luo Tianchu looked at the vast lake from afar, his heart was open, and said: "Yes, but it will definitely not be the last time." Xia Cheng said with a smile: "If the castle master is interested, I am willing to be a guide and accompany the castle owner to see the beautiful scenery of Dongting." Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "Wait for the Yue family army to retreat, and then bother Mr." Xia Cheng also smiled: "Xia also hopes to have such a day." ”
On the dock, a dozen fishermen are sitting together, their upper bodies bent, their skin red and peeled from the long sun, their dry and stiff trouser legs pulled up to their knees, and their bare feet, discussing other people's women. After seeing Xia Cheng, they all got up and bowed, and they were all members of the Dongting Gang.
Xia Cheng took the three of them onto a fishing boat and sat in the cabin, where a middle-aged fisherman with a straw hat jumped on the stern, untied the reins, and slid towards the middle of the lake, followed by three other fishermen carrying their mounts. Where the boat passes, the lake is sparkling, the red sun is westward, the red glow burns all over the sky, and the lake surface is sprinkled with golden light, like a dream. The fisherman at the stern of the boat suddenly sang the Dongting fishing song with a broken gong in his voice, "The lake is clear, the fish are high, the elder brother casts the net, and the younger sister is tempting." After he finished singing, the fishermen on the three boats behind him were also interested, and each of them sang a song, and the lyrics corresponded to his one, and Luo Tianchu and Li Qingwan both applauded and laughed.
Xia Cheng explained with a smile that this is the traditional 'fisherman's Q&A' on Dongting Lake, asking and answering questions to relieve boredom, and not feel lonely when working. Although they sing without a tone, no matter how good a singer is, they can't sing this natural and simple sound. Nature's music is all wonderful and never goes out of style.
Dongting Lake is bigger than Luo Tianchu imagined, and when you reach the center of the lake, you can see the vast lake on all sides, and you can't even see the edge, and you have the feeling of being in the sea. Fortunately, a piece of land appeared in front of me not long after, and when I looked at it from a distance, I saw nearly a thousand large and small warships moored on the shore, gently undulating with the waves, like a long bridge floating on the water. Xia Cheng introduced: "Ahead is my Dongting main village, Junshan Water Village. Luo Tianchu looked at the warships one after another and sighed: "Your gang's naval army can be described as the best in the world." Xia Cheng said with a smile: "In terms of the water army, our gang does have some confidence. As he spoke, he pointed to the largest warship on the shore and said: "It is a warship designed by the Great Sage Heavenly King himself, named 'Yang Qi Car Boat', the sides and stern of the ship are equipped with rotating wheel pulp, the small warship is equipped with two, the slightly larger four, the medium-sized eight, and the large warship has twenty-four, and the wheel slurry equipped with eight blades is connected to the rotating shaft, the shaft is equipped with a foot pedal, and the shaft is rotated, forward and forward, and backward and backward. It's flying. ”
Luo Tianchu exclaimed: "Such a whimsical idea, Yang Junshi is really a strange person." Xia Cheng said with a smile: "Not only that, there is a protective plate on the outside of the wheel slurry to avoid damage, and the shaft is installed at the bottom of the cabin, and the sailors are not easy to be injured when they step on the cabin." Luo Tianchu said: "How many warships are there like this?" Xia Cheng said: "There are twelve large warships that can carry a thousand people, and there are 1,233 small and medium-sized ones. Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "Now I am sure of at least one thing, even if Yue Fei is ten times more powerful, he will not be able to defeat such a naval army from the front, and now it is not us who should be worried, but Yue Fei." As he spoke, the fishing boat had passed through the mist and reached the opposite shore. (To be continued.) )
