Volume 1 Jianghu Chapter 24 Pick up the sword is the first in the world
It must be known that the ancients said that attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top, Zhang Mingyue knew that Sima Yun was just for him to take such a risk to offend the eldest prince of the contemporary famous Sword Villa, and it is also true, who knows that a person with an unknown nationality can see the true face of the Emei Holy Land and feel uncomfortable, but this eldest prince Meng Tairan came a little intensely.
Meng Tairan slammed the table and stood up, without the bearing that the heirs of the famous Sword Villa should have, Sima Yun couldn't stop laughing.
"Could it be that the eldest prince still wants to splash blood on this hall? I'm afraid that I miscalculated, this is Mount Emei, not you Jiangxia. β
The old sword god was full of smiles, not because of Sima Yun's words, but because of the real person Ma Danyang as if he hadn't seen this scene at all, and the three ancestors of the chief Emei didn't speak, but the old man Meng's face was not very good-looking.
"Have you made enough trouble? If you have made enough trouble, you will retreat, so as not to be embarrassed here, and ruin the reputation of my famous Sword Villa. β
Meng Tairan's face was cloudy when he heard this, but in the end he sat down in a proper manner, and Zhang Mingyue also pulled Sima Yun to signal him not to say more.
"I don't know if this eldest prince of the Meng family has an enmity with you, why are you so-for-tat with others? Even if it's for my business, it's not like this, other people's jokes will be laughing, and I can still lose two taels of flesh? Offending such a big person is not like our previous style of doing things. β
Zhang Mingyue privately talked to Sima Yun under the cover of a glass of wine.
"I have no grudges with him in the past and no enmity in the near future, but I just don't like the style of this eldest son. β
Sima Yun said softly.
"There are some things you don't know, I know a lot, I know that the three sons of the Famous Sword Villa are the most useless, and they can't be martial arts, but very few people in the world know that the sick third son actually doesn't like to learn martial arts as rumored, but since he was a child, he was said to have no foundation in martial arts, and he was even more frail and sickly, I don't know if it's the shit luck or the green smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb of the Meng family, the only three sons of the three sons married a beautiful woman who is both civil and military. β
"There is a way that the ugliness of the family can not be publicized, I will tell you a little bit of gossip about the kid, many people say that the wife of the third prince has a leg with the boss, and brought a big green hat to the third son, and he has never slept in the same bed with the third son for ten years, of course the old man Meng knows about it, but the person will be old, and he is not willing to make such ugly things bigger, so he has to open one eye and close one eye, you must know that the old man Meng is a person who learns martial arts, and what is important is the backbone of the man, the third child is unwilling to fight and has little ability, if the famous sword villa falls into the hands of the third child, it will not be carried forward in the future, and you can probably see a little bit of the stakes in thisγ β
Zhang Mingyue is naturally an unknown Sword Villa and has such a scandal, of course he will not question Sima Yun's words, and after such a thing, looking at the sick third prince is much more pitiful than before.
"Mrs. Fang asked him to come and sit with us, but the third prince doesn't seem to be very happy, if it were me, I would like to leave this chilling family. β
"I don't know, maybe it's just because even if people don't use it well, they have such a name on the head of the descendants of the Famous Sword Villa, which is very different from us, okay, don't worry so much about your kid, after all, it's someone else's family matter, and if they want to go to the Hidden Sword Pavilion, they will let the family go to tell the master themselves, and I'm done venting the discomfort in my heart, drinking." β
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the old man Meng really began to talk from the south to the north, from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, from the Taoist Gate to the Buddhist Gate, and said that the people in the rivers and lakes of my generation practice martial arts is nothing more than to prove the Tao with martial arts, and it should be right to integrate the strengths of a hundred schools, and it is right to abandon the view of the portal.
How could the contemporary young master of Emei not be able to understand Meng Qingyun's intentions?
"Old Man Meng has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it directly, there are no outsiders in this hall. β
Sima Yun and Zhang Mingyue didn't want to stay any longer, so they said hello to Wanqing and left the hall, but who knew that Princess Zhaoyang followed out just after they went out.
"Why doesn't the princess sit in the hall, it's also a good choice to listen to Old Man Meng tell me interesting things about the Central Plains. β
The heavy rain that lasted for most of the day finally stopped, the clouds opened and the sun was bright, the whole Emei Mountain was long and rainbow ran through the sun, the fairy spirit was heroic, the three of them came to the pavilion where they waited with the ancestor of Emei again, the foot is the moon viewing building, and the extreme eye is a sea of clouds, and the Emei after the rain is really a fairy who is beautiful and dusty.
Princess Zhaoyang cheered happily at the churning sea of clouds, and even turned around happily in the pavilion with her hands in her hands, letting the mountain breeze blow the green silk.
"I don't want to listen to that old man's nonsense, to be honest, this princess hates beating around the bush the most in her life, what kind of old man of Sword Villa is really not one or two grades different from Old Senior Li and Ma Daochang. β
Princess Zhaoyang pulled her ears and smiled.
"Only the princess dare to say this, the two of us don't have the courage to offend the famous sword villa, do the math, we should leave in two or three days, and then the princess can go back to Chaoyang City directly, I believe that His Royal Highness is also a little anxious, and after the princess returns safely, our fifty taels of gold should be delivered." β
"This is also true, although Ma Daochang is unwilling to teach me swordsmanship, and Mr. Li has not mentioned a word, but this princess has always shouldered the mission of negotiating with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and after coming out for so long, I really feel unsatisfied. β
Hearing that Sima Yun mentioned the days of returning to Chaoyang, the woman who had always been high and sometimes lively became a little sad, as if she was unwilling to leave.
Sima Yun knew that this princess was originally a canary in the palace, but now that this finch finally saw the blue sky and white clouds, and enjoyed another beautiful scenery in the world, he was extremely melancholy.
"The princess doesn't need to be so sad, if there is a fate in the future, maybe we will meet again. β
Sima Yun said these words that were both safe and not comforting, and the princess with a lonely look suddenly said with some unhappiness.
"Do you think this princess is for you two guys? This princess is just a little regretful that I can't let Senior Li join me, just imagine if this princess comes to the Central Plains and brings back the blue-shirted sword god who once flowed through the whole rivers and lakes, then how should I think of myself as those literati and scholars in Xichu?"
"Take the old man back to Xichu?"
Zhang Mingyue was stunned.
"Just think about it, but if the old man is interested in the future, maybe he will be really interested in going to Xichu for a trip. β
"Is that true?"
Princess Zhaoyang suddenly became interested.
"If you have time in the future, you must bring the old man to my Xichu, this princess doesn't dare to say anything else, but it will definitely let you have endless wine to drink, endless delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it can be regarded as the reward for you two guys who have accompanied this princess for this period of time. β
Zhang Mingyue didn't know that Princess Zhaoyang really wanted the three of them to go to Xichu together, but now she didn't figure out her life experience, how she could go so chic and frank, not to mention that these days she always felt that Sima Yun was very different from the past, and it seemed that she had something to hide from herself.
"If you have the chance, you will definitely go. β
......
At night, Zhang Mingyue couldn't resist the plan to go to the Hidden Sword Pavilion for the night, and chose to talk to the old sword god about the harvest in the past two or three days.
"Sima Xiaozi is right, this old man Meng talked about it for a long time, and finally said that he wanted his two sons to enter the Tibetan Sword Pavilion to have a look, but this old man is not insatiable, and he also promised to exchange the hundred scrolls of the sword of the Famous Sword Villa for a look at the Tibetan Sword Pavilion, it seems that this old man really plans to wash his hands in the golden basin and leave a way out for the descendants of the Famous Sword Villa in advance. β
The old sword god said lightly.
"It's just that he also has a lot of precious ancient books in his famous sword villa, and if he really studies them thoroughly, he can also create a truly powerful character, the old man really can't figure out how this old man can think of Emei. β
These things are only clear to him Mingjian Villa, how did the master answer. β
Sima Yun couldn't help but ask.
"People are so cheeky to beg each other, as the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, what can the teacher say, it's not that he has to agree, but let the Meng family pick up a bargain, if you can integrate the heart of the famous sword villa and the heart of Emei, I am afraid that there will be unexpected effects, you must know that the way of the sword is the same way, probably this is the truth. β
"It's a pity that this Sword Villa has a living sword path and everyone doesn't come to ask for advice, but they take a fancy to those dead things, and it seems that the Famous Sword Villa will start to decline after Old Man Meng quits the rivers and lakes. β
Sima Yun made such a comment, but the old sword god didn't think so.
"The old man doesn't see it, although the second son of the eldest son of Sword Mountain Villa has the posture of martial arts, he is arrogant, and he will definitely not go far in the martial arts, and the real thing that needs to be paid attention to is the third son who is weak. β
"If the old man is right, the next person from his Meng family to go to the Hidden Sword Pavilion is not the eldest prince, nor the second son, let alone the old man Meng, but the third prince who has never said a word, which is probably the reason why he took the third prince to travel away. β
The old sword god's sudden words shocked Zhang Mingyue, but Sima Yun was unwavering, as if everything was in his expectations.
Sure enough, when Zhang Mingyue arrived at the Tibetan Sword Pavilion early the next morning, he saw the man who had been frail and sickly since he was a child waiting outside the attic, but today the three sons changed into a cotton coat that was not necessarily of good texture, erected a crown, and still covered his mouth and coughed from time to time.
It's not that Zhang Mingyue doesn't want to deal with other people, just because the third son, Meng Jingran, is a member of the Meng family, and since he is a member of the Meng family, he can't expose Meng Tairan's ridicule yesterday, Meng Jingran has always been unaware of Zhang Mingyue's side, and waited for the eldest disciple Wanqing to come over and open the door of the attic.
There are words in his mouth, Zhang Mingyue can hear them clearly, but they are just some of the most basic three teachings and five meanings, and he is really a good reader, but he refuses to let go of even this little waiting time.
When Wanqing came over to open the door, she still had that lukewarm attitude towards Zhang Mingyue, but she was much better to Meng Jingran.
"Uncle Shi has explained, if Mr. Meng feels cold, he can ask his disciples to send some charcoal fire to keep warm. β
Wanqing gave a salute.
"Thank you girl, Meng Jingran asked herself if she was not as strong as Wufu, but she was not afraid of the cold, but when it came to the meal, she still needed a reminder from the girl, so she couldn't extricate herself from immersing herself in the sea of books. β
Zhang Mingyue was stunned in place like five thunderbolts, and now he finally knows why he is not the eldest prince or the second son, but the third prince who has been studying literature and abandoning martial arts since childhood came to the Hidden Sword Pavilion, the famous Sword Villa, and he is really scheming, and Emei said that he exchanged a hundred scrolls, but this seemingly weak third prince stayed in the Hidden Sword Pavilion for a few days, and what he wrote down was more than a hundred scrolls of swords? Sima Yun said that these three sons have the ability to never forget. It's just that I don't know how the third son, who was cuckolded, was able to endure it, not only did he not retaliate, but helped his two eldest brothers to go to the Hidden Sword Pavilion, the home of the famous family, and it was really muddy.
After eating and sleeping in the Tibetan Sword Pavilion with Meng Jingran for three days, Zhang Mingyue and Meng Jingran didn't say anything, but when they were about to leave Emei at the end, Zhang Mingyue couldn't help but ask.
"I heard that Mr. has not liked martial arts since he was a child, how can he look at these cheats and mental methods so relish?"
The third prince of Mingjian Villa, who had not spoken a word for three days, said softly.
"If you have a book in your heart, you can read any book. β
Zhang Mingyue said in her heart that she was unaware of the real wood that was cuckolded by her own eldest brother, and said that martial arts were really playing the piano to the cow, so she no longer had the interest to communicate with him.
I only heard the man with a somewhat pale face holding a copy of the Emei Sword Book of the best Heavenly Sword Thirty-three and whispered softly.
There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book.
When Zhang Mingyue had already left the Hidden Sword Pavilion, the third son of the Meng family, who was called a waste by his own family, continued to talk to himself.
"It's in the book...... Land Immortals. β
......
Approaching to leave Emei, Sima Yun and the old sword god have been waiting for a long time, Princess Zhaoyang is still pestering the real Ma Danyang, who has just come out of the customs, to learn the sword, and is even more happy to be rejected by Ma Daochang, to the surprise of several people, the Meng family of the famous sword villa that is regarded as the first-class existence of the same rivers and lakes as the three holy places of Daomen also came to want to send it, and the day when they left was high and refreshing.
Meng Qingyun, the contemporary owner of the Meng family, said with a smile.
"If Daoist Ma is interested, you can also come to my famous sword villa next month to watch the ceremony, then the old man will open the door of my famous sword villa for the Taoist, as well as this old brother and the two little brothers, if you don't dislike my Jiangxia is simple, you can also come to watch the ceremony, if you don't want to say anything, the old man won't say anything, and the road will be safe." β
Sima Yun, who had had a little unpleasant trouble with Meng Tairan, the eldest son of the Meng family, directly and boldly accepted this invitation, and said that he would definitely support it when the time came, how did Zhang Mingyue not know that what the old man said was just some polite words, and these invitations were all grand gatherings of celebrities in the world, what are the two of us stunned? If you invite the old man, it is understandable, but after getting along in the past few days, the old man Meng may not recognize the sloppy old man in front of him is the green shirt sword god who moved the whole river and lake in the past, Princess Zhaoyang is reluctant, but there is still something important to do after all, before leaving, Emei master Ning Xiaorong gave Emei a woman sword and Princess Zhaoyang, as a souvenir, this sword can only be regarded as a susouvenir among the three thousand swords in Emei, but it is regarded as a treasure in the palm of the hand by the princess of Xichu who wants what she can't get, and it is taken out from time to time on the way down the mountain to watch, the old sword god has no sword, and he did not choose the sword of Emei, and he almost made a teacher who accompanied the princess to read along the way, Sima Yun didn't want anything, except to take away the zither on the moon viewing floor, and wrapped it up behind him, and after calculation, the biggest harvest was Zhang Mingyue.
When going down the mountain, the two carriages were still there, and the five of them returned the same way when they got into the carriage, but Princess Zhaoyang, who could have monopolized a carriage, had to squeeze together with the old sword god, so that the real person Ma Danyang was the coachman who drove the horse, and Zhang Mingyue and Sima Yun were behind.
Seeing that Zhang Mingyue was uneasy, Sima Yun finally asked.
"Just now I saw that the girl pulled you aside and said something to you? Why didn't you say a word on the way down the mountain, this is not like your temperament, isn't that the woman named Mingyue is reluctant to give up on you?"
Zhang Mingyue said in her heart, how can you, old fox, think which one is which? Why don't you see you talking like this when you go up the mountain? Besides, who is Mingyue, the previous misunderstanding has already been opened, and others have said that they should not think too much, so how can they still be such a thick-skinned person?
I'm afraid that I won't have a chance to see you again in this life, and if I can see you again, it will definitely be a thing or a person.
Zhang Mingyue knew that Sima Yun was just sullen when he saw him on the way.
"Miss Wanqing came to me and said a word to me, and she asked me to send the princess back and then go to Jiangxia first, and when I went to Jiangxia, she would tell me where to go next. β
"To be honest, how do I feel that this woman has been led by the nose all the way, she asked me to go east and I will go east, she let me go west and I will go west, I really don't know when it will be the head, so if you say, next month we are really going to go to Jiangxia to see the grand event of this generation of celebrities washing their hands. β
The man in the green shirt, who drove the carriage with his hair scattered casually, laughed.
"When this is the case, life is only 80 years, while you are young, walk more, see more, there will always be unexpected gains. β
The four people who originally went straight to Chaoyang City went directly to the Qingguan Mountain under the order of Princess Zhaoyang, because the six guards who were injured by the princess were still on the mountain, and the princess was unwilling to leave these six people, but it made Zhang Mingyue feel that this Princess Xichu was not the ruthless and unrighteous person, otherwise he would not have been injured in Chaoyang City.
However, before the five of them reached the mountainside, Zhang Mingyue suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, which was hit by a small stone, and after looking at the mountain stone that looked like a fierce tiger entrenched, his head was a little round.
Zhang Mingyue didn't have a good airway.
"The little Taoist surnamed Yang, you are also the personal disciple of Xu Zhenren, how can you do something ridiculous like this, even if you are not afraid of me, you should be afraid of your uncle, be careful that Daoist Ma will catch you and spank you. β
The little Taoist priest who has always been playing the game to send the fairy mountain poked his head out from behind the rock.
"Uncle Shi doesn't have time to clean up the poor road, if he doesn't go back to the mountain to see the master, he will be the one who will be cleaned up. β
No matter how serious Rao is, Sima Yun and Zhang Mingyue couldn't help but be amused by this sentence, and almost couldn't hold back, the old sword god not only did not help, but fell into the ground.
"This little Taoist priest is a master who tells the truth, the old man likes it, Ma Lao Dao, do you hear it, if you don't go back, I'm afraid that you will be jumped by the chicken and dog chased by your master brother with a peachwood sword. β
The real person Ma Danyang is not good, if others say this, it will be indispensable to open the flesh, but if the old sword god says this, he can only swallow his anger, not that he doesn't want to fight, but how many good fruits can be eaten when he fights? It is only in the eyes of those mortals who don't often see each other that they are immortal.
Ma Danyang counted the years of being taught by Xu Changjin to carry a wooden sword to chase all over the mountains and run not once or twice, just said that the sword practice went mad and almost suffered the entire purple bamboo forest, after Xu Changjin learned about it, he picked up the wooden sword as if he was a child and the two brothers fought in a daze for a few months, and lied to the disciples that they had lost their minds and fell off the cliff, and their own grumpy brother who was famous in the top ten in the world really can't be provoked, if it weren't for the Emei Hidden Sword Pavilion is too unbearable, he Ma Danyang will not take the risk and choose to stay in Mount Emei for seven daysγ
The real Ma Danyang puffed out his cheeks.
"Old Li thing, remember today's things first, and after the autumn, I will definitely settle the accounts and say goodbye. β
Without waiting for the old sword god to tease again, the white-robed Taoist disappeared in just a few breaths, and was a little sure that the danger had left, and the youngest senior uncle of Shangqingguan came out from behind the rocks with his whole body.
"There's a good show to watch now. β
Zhang Mingyue had already put the previous "stone-throwing hatred" behind him, he said.
"The surname is Yang, you have been waiting here for us to go up the mountain?"
The little Taoist priest in an extremely ill-fitting Taoist robe scratched his head and said softly.
"Poor Dao doesn't have so much time, you need to know that the birds on the mountain still need to be fed by Poor Dao every day, but this morning I read a science on the mountain, forget it, and calculate that Senior Li will come to worship the mountain today, so the master asked me to wait here. β
Ignoring whether Yang Hongye was feeding the birds or letting the birds become food, Zhang Mingyue and Sima Yun were stunned on the spot.
Shangqing Guan can become the holy land of the world's Taoist sect is naturally not in vain, can be such a transcendent holy place as a learning to keep the object on the mountain, how can it be such an idle thing, this surnamed Yang Xiaodao can only take a look from it to calculate that they are going up the mountain today, it is too incredible, it can really be regarded as a strange person in the world.
When the old sword god heard this, he was even more determined in his heart.
"My generation of martial arts practice to the extreme is nothing more than to preach the Tao with strength, but among the three sects, the masters can take the power of heaven and earth for their own use, this is the biggest difference between martial arts and heaven, this little Taoist, has the ability to reach the sky, this is the way of heaven. β
The little Taoist Yang Hongye didn't seem to understand the words of the old sword god, maybe he felt that it was too distressing to delve into these problems, so he simply didn't care, even if Zhang Mingyue had a thousand words, he couldn't help but be blocked in his throat.
Think about those who were famous all over the world when they were young, compared with this little Taoist priest who is not good-looking, to say something ugly, fart is not, the second half of the way up the mountain, even if the little Taoist priest harassed him in every way, Zhang Mingyue could not feel that he could talk to this little Taoist priest on an equal footing, but Sima Yun was open to talk, and the little Taoist priest discussed all kinds of interesting things in this Shangqing Temple, Yang Hongye was also happy to do this, on the Shangqing Temple, it was still that scenery, the old sword god had to teach Xu Changjin to invite him to the main hall to discuss things together, Sima Yun Zhang Mingyue rarely returned to the small courtyard where he lived at the beginning, pavilions and pavilions, quiet and quiet, the little Taoist Yang Hongye came over after him, and he still had to compete with Zhang Mingyue, maybe it was because his master didn't have a relationship with Li Lao Sword God in the past.
"The surname is Yang, but I won't compare with you. β
Zhang Mingyue said confidently, but in fact, only he knows whether he is justified or not, he is still practicing knives, and others have begun to study the one hundred and eight grade knives that are recognized by the world as the top grade in the knife, and they have really perfected it, plus even Ma Danyang, a real person in Shangqing Guan who is as famous as the master, praises him, and compares swords with such a person, isn't it boring to be self-deprecating?
Zhang Mingyue said again.
"I don't compare swords with you, but Her Royal Highness the princess wants to compare swords with you, Shangqingguan has rules for unloading swords, and it is not a bad rule for you to use two branches to compare swords, what do you think?"
After Zhang Mingyue finished speaking, she didn't give Princess Zhaoyang a look, how did Princess Zhaoyang not understand that Zhang Mingyue wanted her to test how much ability this little Taoist priest had, and to see if the real Ma Danyang was exaggerating, and then Princess Zhaoyang cut down two branches of willows in the courtyard.
"The little Taoist surnamed Yang, this princess wants you to try it with me, if you don't fight, this princess has 10,000 ways to make you look good. β
The little Taoist priest suddenly looked depressed.
"Her Royal Highness the princess is trying to blackmail the poor again?"
"So what? If you don't hold a sword, this princess will definitely be a talker. β
Princess Zhaoyang said with a smile.
The miserable little Taoist priest who was tortured by the princess's methods had no choice but to pick up the willow branch.
"Poor Dao has never used a sword since he was a child, and the master does not teach poor Dao I Shangqingguan swordsmanship, I can only learn to perform one or two sets of swordsmanship on the mountain on weekdays, and the princess also asks her subordinates to be merciful, don't hurt Poor Dao, otherwise the birds in the back mountain will suffer. β
Because his clothes were a little loose, his movements were extremely uncoordinated, and the little Taoist priest Yang Hongye clenched a willow branch that was not a sword.
The little Taoist priest suddenly muttered to himself.
"There is a feeling in the poor road. β
"What does it feel?"
Zhang Mingyue couldn't help but ask.
"Poor Dao either doesn't hold a sword, or he is the best in the world if he holds a sword. β
