Chapter 4 The Dust Flies in the World

Strange flowers and flowers, thousands of postures, warblers cry swallows, pure beauty and clear Yue.

A curtain of silver waterfall flies down in the void, the waves at the place where the water falls are tumbling like a white snow lotus blooming, the surrounding pool water is crystal clear, and the large and small gravel are vividly visible.

Chen Feng continued to move forward on a bluestone path, and soon saw a bamboo forest.

The bamboo shadow is clear, delicate and elegant. The soft bamboo branches naturally bend into a graceful arc, and the bamboo tips grow some fresh and tender green leaves. It was as if the girl had untied the knot of her hair, and she flicked it so gently so that her hair was spread out, so beautiful and elegant.

The scenery is beautiful, poetic and picturesque, is it not the realm of immortals?

It seems that it is not perfect enough, but it is like the icing on the cake from the bamboo forest from the pleasant sound of the piano, like the yellow warbler singing clear and melodious.

The artistic conception of the sound of the piano is lofty and long, which makes people feel a perfect and elegant Qingqi and elegance.

Tatsumi couldn't help but walk into the bamboo forest.

In the forest, there is a spacious open space, where there is a beautiful and elegant bamboo building, and the back wall of the bamboo building oozes light blue cooking smoke, which floats like a dream.

A young man is sitting in front of the bamboo building, stroking the piano elegantly and attentively. Chen Feng has a unique eye to recognize this is an ancient and modern guqin, which was mentioned by the master when he taught martial arts history.

Ordinary people will surely laugh at the simplicity and shabby of this instrument. The tung oil-plated hornless piano table is bright and bright, and the surface looks old and mottled, revealing a kind of simplicity and solemnity.

The strings are exquisite. The strings are crystal clear, as thin as spider silk, shapeless and invisible, and the shadow is fluttering, and the toughness is excellent.

Xie Chenfeng blurted out enviously and softly praised: "It is indeed a peerless guqin!"

The sound of the piano stopped faintly, and several yellow warblers flew up from the shoulders of the people who caressed the qin.

The violin stroking slowly raised his head, and said lonely and melancholy: "Even if there is a peerless piano, who will solve the troubles of the uncle?"

It refers to the allusions of the Boya and Zhongzi periods. After Zhong Ziqi's death, Bo lost his bosom friend and swore not to play for the rest of his life.

Chen Feng said with the same feeling: "How many people do not hesitate to seek the perfection of things at the expense of family affection and life, but who knows that success is actually lonely?"

Chen Feng's words touched the heartstrings of that person, and the person who stroked the piano muttered to himself with understanding: "Success is lonely, success is lonely, good knowledge, really good knowledge!"

The violin stroker stood up calmly and slowly turned sideways, looking at the uninvited guest quietly, his faint pupils were like a few stars in the blue sea and sky, writing loneliness and melancholy.

Xie Chenfeng saw the person's appearance clearly, and was shocked, but he didn't show his face. It can be called a clear eyebrow, a straight nose and a handsome face, but all this is destroyed by a hateful and hateful mouth, and the three shiny and sharp front teeth fly out, which is easily reminiscent of a green-faced and fanged demon, which is terrifying and terrifying.

The person who had been lonely in his heart for a long time and longed for a soulmate asked expectantly: "Could it be that Brother Feiren knows this qin?"

"If I'm not wrong, this is the famous ancient and modern 'wind and dust qin', thinking back to the past, Xiao Xiao is easy to be cold, Gao gradually left Fuqin for Jing Ke to be strong; Boya abandoned the guqin, Shi Kuang retro qin turned to Sima Xiangru; swords and soldiers in the sky city, Zhuge Fuqin frightened 100,000 soldiers; the rivers and lakes have a strange fate, and the wind and dust qin saint and beauty live in seclusion outside the world. ”

"The Wind and Dust Qin Saint must be the foot. ”

"How do you know?"

"Looking at the whole world, who else has such a pinnacle of piano skills?"

"False praise, false praise, could it be that Brother Fei also knows the art of the piano?"

"I just scratch the surface. ”

"Wind and Dust Piano Saint" Liu Xing smiled in his eyes and said with a little teasing: "Brother Ren must be a lonely person." ”

"How so?"

"Just with the sword behind Brother Ren. ”

Xie Chenfeng's sword was really ordinary, and a unique plum blossom was carved on the hilt of the red sandalwood.

"The one who has the sword is not the next. ”

"But it's not a good sword. ”

"There are many good swords. ”

Liu Xing's pupils flashed with envy and surprise, "The Infinite Sword is unique in the world!"

Chen Feng was shocked, his sword was never easy to show.

"Why is it determined to be the Infinite Sword?"

"Just ask what sword is in the sheath, and there is the sound of lightning and thunder?"

The Wuji sword was in the sheath, and Liu Xing could actually hear the sound of the sword. Those who have cultivated martial arts to such a realm are now only a handful of rivers and lakes.

But I can't help but marvel at the fact that the 'Wind and Dust Piano Saint' is worthy of its name!

Liu Xing was as happy as a child, and warmly invited: "Ordinary things are not mentioned for the time being, you and I are destined for thousands of miles, why don't you talk about wine?"

Chen Feng was originally a person who was addicted to alcohol, and immediately responded cheerfully: "There is wine and a piano, don't let the beautiful scenery of Liangchen be in vain." ”

Liu Xing shouted to the bamboo pavilion: "Wanqiu, Wanqiu, there are distinguished guests coming to the door today, can you buy a few appetizers?"

Immediately, I heard the creaking door open, and a fresh and elegant girl appeared leisurely at the door of the bamboo pavilion.

The scenery here is already picturesque. The verdant and beautiful bamboo forest, the exquisite and elegant bamboo pavilion, and the dreamy and elegant green smoke.

The moment the girl appeared, everything in heaven and earth seemed to be turned into nothing, and the beautiful scenery seemed to be eclipsed, and there seemed to be only this otherworldly girl in heaven and earth.

Her beauty is suffocating, only understandable, indescribable, and the depiction of any language and text will seem pale and powerless.

She doesn't seem to eat the fireworks of the world.

Every part of her body seemed to have a soul and life, so delicate and agile. The hands seem to have been carved and carved with ice, white and fine as fat bamboo shoots, crystal clear and moist.

Those hands alone are enough to make the souls of men all over the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are men who are willing to die in their hands.

The girl glanced at Liu Xing as if she was annoyed, and her eyebrows inadvertently revealed a charming and charming charm. But there was a layer of resentment in his heart: Liu Xing, have you ever remembered your promise? Right and wrong are heroes and hearts, so why bother to get acquainted with people in the martial arts again. ”

Liu Xing's eye contact with her was already a little clear, and he said abruptly: "This benevolent brother not only knows the wind and dust piano but also knows the reason, which is really commendable!"

The girl's pretty cheeks were slightly raised, and she said indifferently: "I'll go buy side dishes, and you will come to pick them up later." She didn't look at the guest squarely, and in silence she turned around and floated into the bamboo pavilion like a cloud.

He was an uninvited guest, and Xie Chenfeng's face couldn't help but show embarrassment.

Liu Xing said with relief: "I hope that Brother Ren will add more Haihan, a woman is a woman after all, and she is not as open-minded as a man." ”

Chen Feng smiled with relief, "Presumably this is the 'Sai Zhaojun' who is famous in the rivers and lakes." ”

Liu Xing bowed slightly.

Four years ago, this incident was a topic of conversation for a long time. A general's daughter is beautiful and beautiful, and she falls in love with a talented but extremely ugly pianist, and later the beauty abandons her wealth and elopes with the violinist.

"What a blessing!"

Liu Xing's mouth twitched slightly with a hint of bitterness, and his dark pupils quickly swept over a trace of imperceptible melancholy.

Although it was only a momentary change, it did not escape Chenfeng's sharp eyes.

If other people's privacy is not easy to ask, Xie Chen will not pursue it with interest.

"Fengchen Qin Sheng" also seemed reluctant to continue to talk about this topic, for fear of being cold, "How did Brother Ren come to Liujia Village?"

"Looking for you to ferry across the river. ”

"Collect five ingots from you. Liu Xing said exaggeratedly.

Xie Chenfeng knew that it was a joke and said jokingly: "It's better to leave me here, eat and drink, you have to lose money!"

Liu Xing laughed heartily when he heard this: "Why don't you change your career to business?"

"It's under consideration. ”

Liu Xing seemed to suddenly remember something and slapped his head, "The appetizers should be ready, wait for me to get them, Brother Ren will wait for a while." ”

Chen Feng felt that he had never tasted such a delicious food, fresh and pleasant, and moderately salty.

The two sat next to the desk and continued to talk heart-to-heart, and they had the feeling of seeing each other late.

"There is no one who does not know the most popular proverb in the rivers and lakes today: Wuji Sword, the sword is ruthless, a sword is out, and a meteor falls. The name below is exactly the homonym of the meteor, and Brother Fei Ren is the nemesis below!"

"You and I hit it off at first sight, how can we become opponents, nonsense, nonsense. ”

"It is said that Brother Ren only uses one sword in each duel, but no one has been able to avoid that sword so far. ”

Chen Feng's tone revealed loneliness and reserve: "No, those who can avoid it are friends, such as the sword that has been avoided now." ”

Liu Xing was silent and thoughtful.

"Brother Ren's words are mysterious, but they are affectionate and reasonable. ”

Qingzhu wine is a special product of Liujia Village, the bamboo juice is taken as the original liquid, and the mouth is actually left with a faint bamboo fragrance after a small sip, which makes people feel refreshed and have an endless aftertaste.

Xie Chenfeng has never tasted such a good wine.

Before they knew it, it was the third altar, and both of them were half drunk, but they had nothing to talk about.

Chen Feng expressed his envy that Liu Xing was accompanied by a beautiful woman, and it was indeed a fairy-like day.

Liu Xing's eyes revealed a little remorse and melancholy, "Wife Sai Zhaojun, I am an ugly man, I feel glorious at first, and I finally feel guilty, and I feel guilty like a mountain, who knows my heart?"

But it touched Chenfeng's heart, and he had feelings of sympathy: it is difficult to get together.

He seemed to vaguely see his own shadow from Liu Xing's body.

The two of them finally got drunk, and their words were simply crazy.

"I said that the 'useless scholar' Bai Tongshu can drink more than you and me? The 'Fengchen Qin' under his feet was originally a musical instrument, but he compiled the "Famous Score of Martial Arts Weapons", could it be that he was drunk and drunk?"

"Brother Ren only knows one of them but doesn't know the other, but he doesn't know that Qin (love) can nourish the heart, and Qin (love) can also kill people, otherwise how can there be an allusion to the empty city plan?"

"I always have some insight into life when I talk to my feet, and it's really worth the trip. ”

Liu Xing's words changed: "The Golden Snake Sword of the 'Blue Blood Swordsman' can be said to be ancient and modern, but it seems to be slightly inferior to the Wuji Sword. ”

"I don't know at the foot, the Wuji Sword has a long history of false fame, thinking back to the past, the murder of the king, Nie Zheng assassinated Han puppet, and wanted to kill Qingji, especially in the hands of Xiang Yu, it was even more famous. ”

Liu Xing couldn't help but feel childlike when he heard this: "Such a famous sword in history must be extraordinary, if you don't hesitate to let me see the style in the next place, I will ferry across the river for free." ”

Xie Chenfeng laughed heartily, and repaid his body with the way of others, "Why don't you change your career to do business?" Have you ever heard the proverb in the rivers and lakes: no blood and no soul, no famous sword will not return." ”

Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed with relief.

"I think Brother Ren is not in vain, and those who are extremely skilled in martial arts are well versed in music and rhythm, so why not play a song?"

Chen Feng didn't postpone it, "Then I'll get an axe!"

Chen Feng replayed Liu Xing's piano music with the help of wine, and deliberately changed a few places, but there was not much difference.

Although the scores are similar, the styles of expression are very different. Liu Xing is like idle clouds and flowing water, and Chen Feng is like an autumn breeze.

Liu Xing held his breath and quietly and carefully experienced the changes, which was just right. The contemplative and quiet pupils gradually burst into tears of joy and excitement, and there are no regrets in this life to meet such a bosom friend!

Liu Xing's residence belongs to the shelter forest of Liujia Village. Liu Xing did not have to work as a security guard, and his daily necessities were provided by the villagers.

After sobering up, Liu Xing personally escorted Chen Feng to leave Liujia Village from another shortcut, and took a boat to the river, where the beautiful and bright peach blossom sandwich bank was similar to the peach blossom source depicted by Tao Yuanming.

The boat finally docked after about half an hour, and Liu Xing told Chen Feng not to mention this matter to outsiders.

The two walked for half an hour to a straw hut and carried the boat into the Yangtze River.

Liu Xing had been prepared for the ferry business, but he was still in the world, and his heart was in the red dust, occasionally earning some money to buy items for his family.

His wife repeatedly persuaded him but did not listen, so he was too lazy to care.

It is almost dusk, and the Yangtze River is beautiful and dreamy, calm and warm. The western sky is orange and gray and purple, and the sunset looks magnificent and brilliant, reflecting the colorful surface of the river, which makes people inexplicably produce a tragic mood.

The river flowed around the boat, and the oars hit the water rhythmically.

Such a wonderful artistic conception contains the timeless charm of poetry and the graceful style of the painting.

The tranquility and harmony of the scenery washes the soul and can always easily evoke beautiful and innocent memories from the bottom of the heart.

Xie Chenfeng is a little heroic and short-spirited and depressed: how many beautiful scenery are there in the world, why do many people love swords, swords, and shadows?

There are only two moods in the world, either tranquil and calm, or bloody and rainy. People have very different concepts and preferences.

Xie Chenfeng dreamed of that kind of picturesque pastoral life. Freely stay between the mountains and rivers, laugh freely and talk about the past and present, how happy it should be.

What to say about punishing evil, promoting good, and supporting justice, after all, it is the day when the sword licks blood. Tatsukaze was bored, it really didn't make sense.

He longed for the day when he would be able to retire to some peaceful life. However, current events are changing rapidly, and he is not sure if he can wait until this day.

Nanming has laid a net of heaven and earth, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is bound to intervene, and the killers sent by all parties are by no means idle.

He knew that his situation was already walking on thin ice, and the only thing he could do was to be vigilant.

After many changes, he is no longer a frivolous teenager, and he acts more cautiously and calmly.

The sharp edges and corners of the rocks have been washed and polished by the sea countless times, and eventually they will turn into sleek and solid pebbles.

The ship suddenly tossed and whirled like a fierce horse.

Chen Feng's heart contracted suddenly, and he looked at the river in surprise. The water potential has changed! The river is turbid and turbulent, majestic and reckless, and the river waves are rolling and mighty.

The river was foggy and misty, and it seemed that the end was coming. The power of nature is mysterious and awe-inspiring.

The river at the bottom of the boat seems to be extremely fast, the river current is wrapped around the hull of the ship, the waves are fast and savage, and the bottom of the river seems to have a dragon rolling and swaying wantonly.

The boat swirls like a wild horse in the middle of the whirlpool.

Liu Xing's face did not change, and his eyes looked calm and resolute.

He held the rudder and ordered the wind to rock in an irresistible tone.

"Quick, rock, rock!"

Tatsukaze squatted and swayed the oars as hard as he could.

Suddenly, a huge wave rose like a monster jumping out of the river, fierce and fierce, and then turned sharply and rushed down like a thunderbolt to the hull of the ship.

"——Boom" The waves collapsed like a high wall.

The ship was like a drunken man, but it didn't capsize.

The water choked into his nostrils and was almost suffocating, and Chen Feng suddenly suspected that he was going to be reimbursed at that moment.

The ship is finally out of danger.

Jiang Shui made a fatal joke and drenched the two of them in a cold bath, so embarrassed that they looked like chickens in soup, and their whole bodies were soaked.

Liu Xing's pupils were cold, and his face was grim, like a statue of perseverance. He let Chenfeng change to the rudder, ignoring the admiring gaze cast by Chenfeng, and he rocked the boat as if nothing happened.

The boat finally reached the opposite riverbank.

Liu Xing stubbornly did not accept the ferry fee, but only invited Chen Feng to have the opportunity to visit Liujia Village again, and then rowed back alone.

On the way, the fleeing people with panicked expressions helped the old and the young, and there was an endless stream.

Xie Chenfeng judged from experience that there was going to be a war from the signs of chaos, and asked passers-by about it.

Dolgon sent the Qing army with Wu Sangui as the vanguard to attack Nanjing, and the Qing army was extremely fast.

The Southern Ming Dynasty is already at the end of the day, and the hope of saving the people seems to be pinned on the body of the "Xiaochuang King", and Chen Feng hopes that the righteous army can turn the tide with a strong reversal.

"Xiaochuang Wang" Li Laiheng once revealed his strategic thinking to Chenfeng: temporarily avoid the edge of the Qing army, and recruit the rest of the Anming army with rigidity and softness, and finally form a situation of the Manchu and Han national wars.

Li Laiheng was soberly aware of the strength of the Qing army and the looseness of the Han army, and the blueprint full of foresight and insightfulness appeared magnificent and brilliant.

However, the 34-year-old commander of the Qing army, Dorgon, is a generation of heroes with great talents, and he has his own wishful thinking: to control Han with Han. For the Ming Dynasty, he gave glory and preciousness to the generals, and gave full play to their talents to conquer the city for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Temporarily avoid the mixed areas of the righteous army and the Ming army, and wait for the defeat of both sides, the Qing army does not give the opponent a chance to rest and recuperate, and then attack in time to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The 32-year-old Wu Sangui can be called a famous general with both wisdom and bravery, but he was led by the nose.

The two sides signed an alliance agreement: the Qing army helped Wu Sangui to claim the throne, and Wu Sangui divided the area north of Liaoning under the jurisdiction of the Manchu Qing. Dolgon had already been eyeing the Central Plains, and he just agreed to the plan.

The Qing soldiers and iron cavalry poured into Shanhaiguan like a tide to ask for the whole world, and Dolgon immediately deployed a military pattern: 50,000 Kwantung iron cavalry in front, and 300,000 Qing military governors in the rear. He named Wu Sangui "General Pingnan" as the vanguard of the Qing army to attack the Ming Dynasty army, assuming that Wu Sangui did not listen to the manipulation, the Qing army would destroy it with superior forces.

Wu Sangui was finally forced by Dolgon to give in and was helpless.

It is often said that manpower is better than the sky, but who knows that there is a providence in the dark?

Among the fleeing crowd were women and children, who looked like a family, the women walked forward with a bag on their shoulders, the old woman's withered left hand on the young woman's shoulder, and the old woman's other hand held the boy's hand tightly.

The boy looked like he was six years old at most, wearing a pair of bare toed shoes, his face was yellow and thin, his face was visibly tear-stained, and he kept shouting hunger in a somewhat hoarse voice.

Occasionally, the young woman with unkempt hair would stop and smile to comfort the child, saying that there was something to eat in the village ahead.

The boy pursed his lips with a face full of displeasure, and muttered in a low voice, "Liar, liar, I have walked through several villages." ”

The young woman could only smile helplessly. There were seven or eight dry and hard steamed buns in the package, but they were life-saving food for a family of three, and they were really hungry to eat. Now that the war is in chaos, other people's families are not enough to provide for themselves, where to beg for food.

The old woman asked the young woman to carry the package to herself, and the young woman wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and said with a smile that she was not tired.

The young woman suddenly heard the sound of a car and horse coming very close behind her, and she subconsciously hurriedly grabbed her family and dodged away, and the old woman was unstable and fell to the ground with both mother and child.
