Chapter Seventy-Six: Winning the Marriage Engagement
(It's not been in good shape for the past two days, it's a bit of a little Kavin!, and there's only one chapter today, but it's only 4,000 words, and I'll make up for it a little, ask for a vote.) )
Yang Guo threw away the scabbard, defended the sword trick with his hand, and made a true swordsmanship.
Guo Fu also threw away the scabbard, and the long sword turned, making a starting test of Yue Nu's swordsmanship. The swordsmanship she has learned and mastered so far is only this set of Yue Nu swordsmanship.
The Yue female swordsmanship was originally the martial arts of Han Xiaoying, the female sword of the Yue in the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, when Han Xiaoying passed on to Guo Jing, and then Han Xiaoying died tragically, Guo Jing was grateful for the teacher's kindness, and when he taught martial arts, he passed it on to his daughter and two disciples.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong are not hiding their secrets and refuse to teach their daughters and disciples the superior kung fu in the "Nine Yin True Scripture", but most of the martial arts in the "Nine Yin True Scripture" are advanced martial arts, and they are not something that beginners can practice. Therefore, Guo Jing's teaching starts from the roots, first teaching them the superficial kung fu in the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, and then gradually learning to the depths. In addition, he also worshiped the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan as his teacher, and he was grateful for the kindness of the Seven Monsters back then, so he had to teach these seven masters the kung fu first.
However, this Yue Nu swordsmanship is not a very superficial kung fu. In fact, this swordsmanship has a long history and subtle changes, and it was originally a major sect in swordsmanship. This swordsmanship originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, when Wu Yue fought for hegemony, and the Yue King Gou practiced lying down and tasted the gall, and the picture of Wu State. However, King Wu has a general Wu Zixu under him, adhering to Sun Wu's legacy, and the elite soldiers he trained are abnormal.
Gou Jian saw that the soldiers' martial arts were not as good as the enemy's, and he was depressed. One day, a beautiful girl suddenly came to Yue Kingdom, and her swordsmanship was exquisite. Gou Jian was overjoyed and asked her to teach Yue Bing swordsmanship. Finally destroyed the state of Wu with this. Jiaxing was the junction of Wu and Vietnam, and the two countries used troops. It has always been used as a battlefield, and this set of Yue Nu swordsmanship has been handed down here.
The Seven Monsters of Jiangnan were all from Jiaxing back then. Han Xiaoying was taught by her teacher here and learned this set of Yue Nu swordsmanship.
However, the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom did not learn the essence of the Yue Nu swordsmanship, and the Yue Nu only taught the practical and simple tricks used in the battlefield duel of the Yue soldiers, which was quite useful on the battlefield to slash the stabbing horse, but it was not light enough to fight with the martial arts masters on the rivers and lakes. Until the end of the Tang Dynasty, Jiaxing produced a master of swordsmanship, collected the gist of this ancient swordsmanship, and then sorted it out and innovated. There are also complex changes in the sharpness. In the end, this ancient swordsmanship was rejuvenated, and it was famous at that time.
What Han Xiaoying learned back then was the Yue Nu swordsmanship that was arranged and adapted and innovated by the master swordsman in Jiaxing at the end of the Tang Dynasty. However, her attainments were not refined at that time, and her skills were still shallow, although her swordsmanship moves were quite extraordinary, she did not become a first-class master at that time. After Guo Jing later learned the eighteen palms of the dragon and the advanced kung fu in the "Nine Yin True Scripture", he did not abandon the martial arts of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan. He has reached this point, and his skills are profound. A body of martial arts has reached the realm of transformation, although the martial arts of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan are quite shallow, they can also exert great power in his hands. Especially this set of Yue Nu swordsmanship. is already exquisite, and in his hands it is even more powerful and overwhelming.
But Guo Fu is limited to skill. The heat has not arrived, and Guo Jing is clumsy. When teaching, he is not good at pointing out the subtleties and subtleties of swordsmanship. Therefore, Guo Fu's bright move, although the move is rigorous. But there is no power to speak of.
Guo Fu saw Yin Zhiping and Zhao Zhijing's attack on the night of the Heroes Conference, Yin Zhiping said that although the shot was extraordinary, and he fought with the Golden Wheel Dharma King, he did not fall behind for a while, but she thought to herself that Yang Guo's time to learn martial arts was too short, and it was absolutely impossible for him to have the same skills as his master Yin Zhiping.
It's like comparing her to her father, who is far from her martial arts skills even though she is strong in martial arts. She is accustomed to knowing her father Guo Jing's martial arts, and after listing Yin Zhiping as a master equivalent to Guo Jing, she can also treat it normally.
What surprised her was Zhao Zhijing's martial arts, which were completely different styles from her father Guo Jing and Yin Zhiping's shots that night. She never thought that someone could make the swordsmanship so fast, and Yang Guo naturally couldn't have the speed of Zhao Zhijing's shot, but as long as she could have one or two out of ten Zhao Zhijing, she was afraid that it would be difficult to resist.
She only thought that the Quanzhen Sect had such a set of swordsmanship that was very fast, but she didn't dare to let Yang Guo let go and attack. After making a gesture, when he made a light call, he stepped forward and rushed towards Yang Guo.
Yang Guo wanted to see Guo Fu's martial arts first, but he didn't immediately return the move, but just used his good swordsmanship to defend first. This set of good swordsmanship, Yang Guo has obtained the true inheritance of Yin Zhiping, although the fire has not yet arrived, and he has not understood the sword intent in this set of swordsmanship, but it has also made it dense and continuous, straight like flowing water, so that Guo Fu can't attack it at all.
After thirty or forty moves, Guo Fu saw that he still hadn't built an inch, and he hadn't even forced Yang Guo to retreat, so he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, and at the same time, he was in a hurry and his momentum was declining, and his moves couldn't help but be a little chaotic.
And Yang Guo has passed these thirty or forty moves, and he has already tested the depth of Guo Fu's kung fu, and he immediately made up his mind. Seeing that Guo Fu's moves were in chaos, he immediately shouted and defended without attacking.
He also did not use the Quanzhen swordsmanship, let alone Yin Zhipingte to explain the shadowless fast sword that could not be used lightly, but just stepped on the seven-star chain and used the seven-star swordsmanship. However, after a dozen moves, Guo Fu was already beaten in a hurry, and he was forced to retreat seven steps in a row.
Qiu Chuji nodded with a slight smile on his face, and his heart was even more open, only to feel that although this three-year competition could only be regarded as a child's play in some respects, it was also a mouthful of wrongful anger that he had lost after signing a contract with the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan back then. After all, the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect are better than the martial arts of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, but he did not teach well and neglected to discipline back then, which made Yang Kang embark on a crooked path, so he lost, but he did not lose in martial arts.
Guo Jing had already tested Yang Guo's martial arts before, and he knew that it was inevitable that his daughter would lose, and he was not surprised by this result. It's just that Huang Rong looked at it, and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh a little. The two Wu brothers clenched their fists even harder, and they were secretly anxious, eager to go up and join forces with Guo Fu to beat Yang Guo to the ground and pretend to bark as a dog. It's just that the master and the master are here, and there are so many famous people in the martial arts who look at them, but they don't dare to do it without permission. Spoil this contest.
After a dozen more moves, Yang Guo made a move "Star Shift and Leak Turn" to attack. Guo Fu let out a coquettish "ah", and the long sword in his hand was led by Yang Guo. Wiped out the strength of her sword, couldn't hold it anymore, and flew out of her hand.
This time, the winner has been decided. Yang Guo took a step back, held the long sword upside down, hugged the sword and saluted Guo Fu, smiled slightly, and said, "Accept." ”
Guo Fu pouted, but felt that she was not wronged. He snorted slightly and ignored Yang Guo.
Yang Guo took two steps back, bent down to pick up the long sword that fell from Guo Fu's hand on the ground, walked up to Guo Fu with his hand in his hand, stretched out his hand and handed it over, and said, "Give." ”
Guo Fu snorted again and snatched it from his hand.
"Fu'er. Guo Jing frowned slightly, his face was slightly dissatisfied, and he shouted in a majestic tone.
Guo Fu was a little reluctant to hold his sword and salute Yang Guo. said: "Thank you Brother Yang for your mercy." ”
Yang Guo returned the salute with a smile, retreated, picked up the scabbard he had thrown away on the ground, and inserted the sword into the sheath.
Guo Jing clasped his fists and bowed parallel to Yin Zhi. said: "Qiu Zhenren and Senior Brother Yin taught their disciples well, and Guo was willing to bow down. ”
Qiu Chuji smiled heartily and said, "That's also a smart and willing learner." Master led the way in, does it depend on the individual to practice!"
The two of them laughed a few words. He invited everyone to return to the village together. At this time, it was almost lunch time, and Lu Guanying ordered someone to arrange a luncheon. The crowd of people watching the ceremony feasted together.
The heroes have just seen Yang Guo's shot, and they all praised him for his heroic youth, and sure enough, the famous teacher produced a high apprentice, and praised Yin Zhiping for his teaching, Yang Guo will inevitably be a hero of the Quanzhen Sect in the future, and he will be the gate of the Quanzhen Sect.
Guo Fu followed her parents and was originally respected everywhere, but Yang Guo's master Yin Zhiping has now become the left alliance leader of martial arts, and his position is higher than that of her father Guo Jing, the right alliance leader, and her current identity is no less than her. And Yang Guo had just won the martial arts competition, and everyone praised him, but she, the loser, was ignored for a while, and only the Wu brothers were still by the side to comfort her diligently.
She saw that Yang Guo was praised, her heart was depressed, and she said to the Wu brothers: "Brother Dawu, Brother Xiaowu, let's stop drinking and play outside." Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen agreed in unison. The three of them stood up and were about to leave the hall.
But just as he stood up, he suddenly heard Guo Jing shouting, "Fu'er, you come here." ”
Guo Fu turned her head to look, but saw that her father was moving to her mother's seat, and beckoned to her with a smile, so she approached and shouted, "Dad, Mom!" Leaning on Huang Rong next to her.
The Wu brothers also sat down again, leaning their heads to listen to the conversation over there.
Guo Jing smiled at Huang Rong and said: "At first, you were worried that your son's character was not right, and you were afraid that his martial arts were not good, and it would be difficult for Fu'er, but now you have nothing to say? I sent him to Zhongnan Mountain to learn art, but I did the right thing. ”
Huang Rong nodded and said with a smile: "This time I am gone, my character and martial arts are good, and I am also very happy!" glanced at Yin Zhiping sideways, and said secretly in his heart: "It's just that this master who has passed through is very thoughtful, and it is not easy for people to speculate." But he doesn't have any bad intentions, and now the two deputy alliance leaders on the left and right are married, which is just right. ”
Guo Jing was overjoyed when he heard that his wife had agreed to his daughter's marriage, and immediately turned his head to Qiu Chuji on the side and said to Yin Zhiping: "Qiu Zhenren, Senior Brother Yin, our Guo and Yang families have been friends for many generations, and these two are also knowledgeable. Qiu Zhenren, the wish I mentioned to you before is a good opportunity today. ”
Qiu Chuji still remembered the wish he had mentioned to him before, and immediately understood what he wanted to say, turned his head to look at Huang Rong, and saw that she had a smile on her face, and there was no objection, and he was overjoyed: "Okay, then let's settle this matter today." ”
Guo Fu came over, listened to his father talking to his mother, and then turned to Qiu Chuji to say what he wanted to Yin Zhiping, but he couldn't hear it clearly, he was confused, he didn't understand what his father asked him to do, and asked Huang Rong in a low voice, "Mom, what's the matter?"
Huang Rong smiled at her, stroked her hand and said, "You can understand the Tao when you listen to it." ”
At this time, Guo Jing smiled at Qiu Chuji and Yin Zhiping: "I gave birth to a daughter under the order, and my appearance and martial arts are still passable...... Huang Rong interjected and smiled: "Ah, that has such boasting and self-praise, and I am not afraid of Qiu Zhenren's jokes with Senior Brother Yin." ”
Guo Jingha smiled, and then said: "I intend to marry the little girl Fu'er to Guo'er." His parents have passed away, so he has to ask Qiu Zhenren and Senior Brother Yin to make decisions on this matter. Taking advantage of the fact that all the heroes are also here today, let's invite the two heroes to be matchmakers, how about making a family appointment?" At that time, marriage paid attention to the life of parents and the words of matchmakers, and men and women themselves could not be the masters.
When Yang Guo and Guo Fu heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, but they didn't expect Guo Jing to say this, and immediately looked at each other.
Guo Fu had never thought about this kind of thing with Yang Guo before, and at this time, he suddenly heard his father mention that he wanted to marry himself to Yang Guo. Seeing that he was really handsome, and his martial arts were good, he couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, his face turned red, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yang Guo again, and hid a feverish red face in his mother's arms.
Yang Guo saw her blushing and shy beauty, his heart slammed, and his face couldn't help but feel hot, and he also lowered his head to avoid his gaze.
Guo Jing said this, looked at Yang Guo and his daughter with a smile, and saw that the two of them were shy again, and couldn't help but laugh.
Qiu Chuji stroked his beard and smiled: "These two children are talented and beautiful, and they should be compatible, and it also completes a good story of the intersection of three generations of your Guo and Yang families." ”
Yin Zhiping turned his head to look at Yang Guo, and saw that he had no obvious objection, and smiled: "I have no objection, I should be like this." ”
When the Wu brothers heard this, and saw that both sides had agreed, they couldn't help but glance at each other, as if they had been struck by lightning, their faces were pale, and they stared at Yang Guo blankly.
Since the two sides have agreed and there is no objection to each other, they will seek out each other to act as a matchmaker. Guo Jing and Huang Rong invited Zhu Ziliu to be the matchmaker, and Qiu Chuji directly asked Hao Datong to come forward to protect the matchmaker.
At that moment, the two matchmakers came forward and exchanged the birthdays of Yang Guo and Guo Fu, and the matter was decided. The heroes immediately came over to toast and congratulate each other, and at this time, most of the heroes had already left, and only a few remained, so it was only a small celebration. Guo Jingyan said that when the spring of the next year begins, the heroes will gather in Xiangyang, and then officially hold an engagement ceremony and banquet for Yang Guo and Guo Fu to have a big celebration.
Everyone took turns toasting, celebrating, and parting happily.
After the banquet, Yin Zhiping and his entourage returned to the small courtyard where they lived, and discussed that they would leave tomorrow to return to Zhongnan. Now that the competition between Yang Guo and Guo Fu has ended, and the marriage has been successfully decided, there is nothing else for them to stay. However, Qiu Chuji asked Yang Guo to no longer have to follow them back to Zhongnan Mountain, so Yang Guo stayed in Lujiazhuang, and when Guo Jing and Huang Rong left, they went to Xiangyang with them. It just so happened that his marriage with Guo Fu had just been contracted, and the two could also get along more and cultivate their relationship. Yang Guo obeyed the instructions of his ancestor and agreed with a blushing face. (To be continued.) )
