Chapter 21: Forging the Heart (I)
Jianchuan City, Wang's study.
The ancestor of the Wang family, Wang Chuan, sat solemnly. His two grandsons, Wang Guocheng and Wang Sanshan, were separated from each other, and replied cautiously.
The Wang family has always paid attention to the rules, especially the ancestors. In the impression of his descendants, they have not seen the ancestor in disheveled clothes, sitting on his feet, and inappropriate words for decades. Under this majesty, they can only be careful and careful.
However, it was useless for them to be careful now, because the battle letter of Han Tieyi, the ancestor of the Han family, had already been delivered to the door.
"What is your explanation? ”
Wang Chuan's tone was more majestic than Ping's.
Wang Guocheng and Wang Sanshan were silenced at the same time.
In the past three days, everything that should be explained has been explained to the ancestor, and now it is just "nonsense" to speak. Talking nonsense when the ancestor is angry, that's looking for death!
Wang Chuan himself didn't want to listen to their explanations, but just sternly reprimanded: "My Wang family has always been a well-known name in Jianchuan City, and no one in the rivers and lakes has ever said what is wrong with us. Now, he even wants the old man to face off with Han Tieyi in a heroic fight, what kind of system, what kind of system!"
These words, coupled with Wang Chuan's own majesty, if he were a few fourth-generation disciples here, he would inevitably be frightened, bowing his head, and taking all the blame on himself.
But Wang Guocheng and Wang Sanshan are not four generations of disciples, as the elite of the three generations of the Wang family, they have been in power for decades, not to mention their own city, just their understanding of the ancestors, is not comparable to outsiders.
They know very well that the ancestors like to put on a majestic and bright show, and reprimand people when they have nothing to do. If you admit your mistakes, then give you a little punishment that is not painful, and if you can't even say two New Year's greetings, then you will inevitably cut your flesh and bleed.
Therefore, when the Wang family goes out, they are also very dignified, and they will discipline people if they have nothing to do. For example, when Wang Sanshan came to Jiantao Pavilion, he planned to reprimand Yan Li like this. It's a pity that the result is very miserable, the old face was whipped crackling, and the dough was shaved clean at the moment when "Discernment Post" appeared.
If the time is changed, Wang Guocheng and Wang Sanshan will inevitably honestly act like juniors, kowtow and shout "Grandson is wrong", so that Wang Chuan is addicted to the ancestor, but now there is obviously no time for this game.
They have been grandsons for decades, and of course they know very well that the so-called "no one in the rivers and lakes has ever said about our right and wrong" is because the people in the rivers and lakes who say the right and wrong of the Wang family have all been killed by the Wang family; the so-called "Cheng He system" is even more straightforward, that is, Wang Chuan's ancestor and his old man are not Han Tieyi's opponents, and if they are beaten in the ring, vomit blood, internal injuries, and black eyes, and greatly damage the majesty of the ancestors, of course, it is "unorthodox".
When the matter passes, the ancestor will play as majestic as he likes. Right now, it's going to burn your eyebrows, so let's find a way first!
Wang Guocheng thought for a while and said: "Han Tieyi's old horseman is a stubborn donkey, it is useless to talk and persuade him, we still have to solve the problem from the root." ”
"Solve it at the root, how to solve it at the root!" Wang Sanshan said, "I went to see Yan Li in person, and that junior was not inferior, and he was really angry with me!"
"That's a problem with your rhetoric. Wang Guocheng said coldly.
Wang Sanshan said in his heart: "There is a problem with my rhetoric? My rhetoric, isn't that still the true inheritance of the ancestors? It has always been invincible, how do you know that Yan Li's little bastard doesn't buy it." ”
He didn't want to blow himself up in front of the ancestor, and he believed in his black-hearted brother kingdom city, and he didn't dare to discuss the matter of "the true inheritance of the ancestor" publicly, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "What's the use of saying this now? The matter has reached this point, and we have to find a way to solve it." If you really let the ancestor go to the ring with the old man in Han Tieyi, that's too ...... It's out of shape!"
Actually, what he wants to say is: that's too unreliable.
Wang Guocheng comprehended, and muttered with his gray beard: "Since reconciliation is useless, you can't blame us for being ruthless and not doing anything!"
The majestic old ancestor Wang Biography, obviously liked to listen to this sentence, nodded expressionlessly and said, "Well, Ji will be released?"
"The crux of the problem is the wind and fire forging after all, and we simply extinguished the wind and fire forging. Wang Guocheng said with a grim face, "The biggest reliance of Wind and Fire Forging is Yan Li's little mongrel, as long as the little mongrel is dead, who will blame the Wang family with Tianfengguan as a backer for Wind and Fire Forging?"
That's exactly what it is. Wang Sanshan took the lead in nodding and said, "If you kill the little mongrel, you won't be able to turn the sky upside down." When the time comes, the old man will first find them to fight with swords, drive them out of Jianchuan City, and then send people to intercept and kill them halfway, cut the grass and eradicate the roots......! Dare to open the crime of the big boss......"
Wang Sanshan thought about the follow-up treatment, but Lao Wang Chuan didn't nod. Don't look at Wang Chuanping, he always likes to put on a show, his innate cultivation is genuine, coupled with decades of rich experience in walking the rivers and lakes, how can he be so easy to bluff?
Wang Chuan didn't raise his eyelids, and still said expressionlessly: "It was said that Han Tieyi is a stubborn donkey, and if the bitter master dies, he can stop it." ”
"Uh......" Wang Sanshan's follow-up treatment suddenly disappeared. In the Wang family, his sword-forging level is not bad, and his conspiracy methods are far worse than those of Wang Guocheng.
Wang Guocheng said with a smile: "If you don't do it, since you are ruthless, of course you have to make the Han family have nothing to say." Didn't he Han Tieyi want a murderer? We will give him a murderer!"
"What do you mean?" Wang Sanshan didn't react at all, and asked in a daze.
"Anyway, the five spider entanglement palms have already exposed their bottoms, and I often conclude that this person is a handle sooner or later, so I might as well deal with him by the way. Wang Guocheng squinted his eyes and sneered, "Send Chang to assassinate Yan Li, and my Wang family's master will follow." When Yan Li dies, we will justifiably arrest the assassin, take down the severed head on the spot, and give it to Han Tieyi for an explanation!"
A poisonous ploy.
Wang Sanshan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he shouted repeatedly: "Clever plan, wonderful plan!"
On Wang Chuan's majestic face, a faint smile finally overflowed, but he didn't agree, and said in a deep voice: "After Fenghuo Forging has encountered assassins, it will inevitably strengthen its precautions, and at this time, it is on the cusp of the storm, but I am afraid that the opportunity will be difficult to find." ”
"It's okay. "Kingdom City is confident," Yan Li's little mongrel was about to go to the Zhuzen Temple. My father has already confirmed that the abbot of the Zhuzen Temple, the Golden Lantern Buddha, is not there, and the first Guangjue Zen meditation seat in the Pranya Hall is about to become a wooden fish, and he doesn't care about anything outside the Zhuzen Temple. We asked Chang Duan to ambush him on the way back to the city, and when Yan Li came out of the Zhuzen Temple, we did him. ”
Wang Sanshan frowned and said, "Why wait for him to come out? Isn't it faster to lay an ambush on the way to him?"
"Stupid!" Wang Guocheng scolded, "Monk Guangjue can let go of everything, but he can't let go of Zen." Yan Li didn't go to Zhuchan Temple and you became him, and you will definitely provoke the old monk. At that time, Tianfengguan will not be able to cover us. ”
"Hmph! Wang Sanshan gritted his teeth and said.
"Hehe...... Wang Guocheng let out a smug grin, "Little bastard Yan Li, let you make trouble for my Wang family." You never dreamed that "Discernment Post" would become Hades' post!"
The high-ranking Wang Chuan also stopped talking, stroked his snow-white goatee, squinted his eyes, and only a little flickering cold light came out of his eyes.
............
The autumn rain continued.
Blue-gray rain clouds cover the sky, sprinkling endless rain, washing the heat of July.
The ancient Jianchuan city was bathed in drizzle, and the noise gradually faded, only the surging river reverberate.
An ordinary carriage drove out of the south gate of Jianchuan City in the drizzle, and with the sound of purring wheels, it marched to the southeast without hurrying.
This direction is the direction to Zhuzenji Temple.
On the wheel, the driver wearing a hat and a cloak was Duan Yan. And Yan Li and Guiyun sat leisurely in the carriage, enjoying the spiced jerky that was a specialty of Jianchuan City.
At this time, it has been three days since the Jiantao Pavilion banquet, and Yan Li finally decided to go to the appointment of the Casting Temple in the autumn rain.
The external saying is that Master Yan Li wants to study the Dharma in order to discuss it with the monks. His own family knows very well how he spent these three days:
Eat, practice martial arts, sleep, and take time to take Guiyun to the market. None of the foreign guests were seen, and the sword-casting request was ignored. I have indeed read a lot of Buddhist scriptures, but at the speed of reading at the speed of Yan Li's demonic reading, the sum of the front and back is not more than a cup of tea.
"Hey, I said, Young Master Yan, don't go too far. Duan Yan complained. The word "young master" is his nickname for Yan Li. He insisted that Yan Li's style surpassed that of any martial arts master.
"Oh, don't be in charge, don't be angry. The carriage went so slowly, and there was no need to concentrate on it, and there was no problem in eating jerky while walking. Come, this package is for you. ”
"Hey, I feel like I'm hungry. ”
"Isn't it?"
"I mean: when others receive the "Identification Post", they either rush to the Zhuzen Temple, or they bathe, change their clothes and fast for seven days, and respectfully go to visit the Buddha. It's okay if you drag it out for three days, and you still pick such a ghost weather!" Duan Yan said in a low voice. He has been full of respect for the Three Great Sword Sects since he was a child, and he is afraid that these words will be heard.
"In the drizzle, isn't there more Zen?" Yan Li smiled indifferently.
"I don't understand. Duan Yan shook his head and said, "I only know that I am bald and bald, and I don't have to worry about rain." Visiting the monks on a rainy day, Young Master Yan, you are too much. ”
"Haha, the Casting Temple has a great cause, and it is not a deserted village and a broken temple, so it will not leak rain. Yan Li said with a smile, "Actually, I know very well what the young master thinks. ”
"What's on my mind?"
"The temple is mysterious, it is rare to have the opportunity to visit, how can it be a rainy day, not cool, not cool, not cool......"
"Hey!" Duan Yan was poked at the thought, and he was inevitably a little annoyed and angry.
"But there are two things to think about. Yan Li said, "Visiting Buddha on a rainy day can show our sincerity." Secondly, the autumn rain continues, the carriage and horses are difficult to travel, and the Zhuzen Temple is always not good to send guests on the same day. We can live in the temple for three or five days, and there is plenty of time to visit. ”
"Well, that's good...... Hey~~ Wait, three or five days? Today is the sixth day of the new year, and tomorrow is the Chinese Valentine's Day. Stay for three or five days, don't you want to miss the beggar festival?"
The Qiqiao Festival is the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is a good day for blind dates. For a single young man like Duan Yan, it is very attractive.
"Qiqiao Festival, hehe......" Yan Li said with a smile, "Look, it is raining continuously in the autumn now, which is in line with the word 'Yan' in your name, even if you go to participate in the Qiqiao Festival, you are doomed to bad luck." It's better to worship the Buddha with me, and you can also go to bad luck. ”
"Nonsense, where did the bad luck come from. Duan Yan gritted his teeth unconvinced, "If it rains, you will fight with me, I have already been drowned by the rain, can I still grow so big?"
"This time is also that time. I think if you go to the begging festival, you will inevitably suffer from blood. It's better to go to the Buddha with me, take advantage of the dark moon and high wind, and be his ......"
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you going to do!" Duan Yan was taken aback when he heard this, lowered his voice to the lowest level, gritted his teeth and said, "That's Zhuchan Temple!
"Of course, such a thing as killing people can't be done in a clean place outside the square. ”
"Are you serious? Who are you going to kill?"
"Frankly, I don't know him. ”
"Cough, cough, cough......" Duan Yan completely fainted.
"But I know his martial arts. ”
"What martial arts?"
"Five Spiders Haunting Soul Palm. ”
"Five spiders haunting the soul palm, isn't that ...... Sizzle......" Duan Yan gasped, almost about to turn the head of the car and slip back to Fenghuo Forging, "Brother Yan, you're not joking, are you?"
