Chapter 055 – The Ugly Monster
Yuan Zuozong first swept the front, followed by Wang Xiaoping pressure, deer mountain group are cultivated goods, most of them have no mind to fight, the beauty of the woman saw the opportunity is not good, then decisively withdrew the pair of colorful butterflies, double butterflies in her between the twining and flying, back to one, back into the sleeve. The world recognized Wudang Shentian sword and Gu Jiantang’s Nanhua knife and listed as the world’s first talismanic weapon, Gu Jiantang in the temple in the center of the jianghu is just a statue out of reach, Wang Xiaoping is different, especially women such as the study of sideways and left-handed demons, is simply a nemesis, in front of Wang Xiaoping play witchcraft, equal to the life of the too long. Wang Xiaoping’s talismanic sword can be called a sword to break all laws. Just Lu Ling turtle within a few head in the deer mountain is also counted in the ranking of the devil road giant, even if you see the Wudang sword idiot in person, there is no color loss, Lu Ling turtle is more calm as paralyzed, softly said: “deer mountain this time in the dragon’s tail under the slopes of waiting for Gongzi Dazi, only for the welcome to Gongzi into the mountain of the feudal lords, and no provocation of ideas, the reason why the more put together some number of people, but also worry about the Gongzi smacked the deer mountain Sincerity is not enough ……”
Lu Linggui who is not good at speaking is carefully weighing his words, he gave a burst of crisp laughter to Hu Chunya who is not long remembered, but this time the Zhou Kinhu people didn’t blame the little girl too much, the scene in the eyes is too unexpected, nearly twenty riders behind Lu Linggui also have their own reaction, whispering. Xu Fengyen can’t help but laugh and cry, the Wudang Taoist monk carrying a peach wood sword came in a hurry, but also in a hurry, all of a sudden all the people were left out to dry, probably not happy with Xu Fengyen’s fox-false tiger, Xu Fengyen with his hands in his sleeves casually lifted up his sleeves and wiped his cheeks, this vulgar action, causing the woman to have a moment of swaying body, the handsome young man in her arms with a soft and charming face hates Xu Fengyen for taking advantage of all the scenery.
Xu Fengyen was in a good mood today, he didn’t mind that these people from the demonic cults stopped and spoiled the fun, he said: ”If Mount Julu is really sincere, let your sect leader come to see me in person, or else there is no need to talk about it. Into the mountain marquis? How dare you guys take it!”
Those original preconceived ideas of the devil, sitting on a mountain to observe the world is used to, at this time also remembered that the young man in front of the young man, one day will be hereditary reckless king of Northern Liang. Liyang clan king, who can be more powerful than the Northern Liang King? Deer mountain this trip is indeed small family. Lu Ling Turtle is really a good-tempered to no end clay Bodhisattva, there is no objection to this, only the corners of the mouth surfaced a touch of odd smile, “Lu mou in the mountain had the honor to see the sect master a glance, the sect master had said with the son of the gentleman you still have some affinity, since this is the case, Lu mou does not dare to take the liberty to act without authorization, this is to return to the mountain to meet with the sect master, will the son of the gentleman of the request to pass on.”
Xu Fenian asked with a smile, “Listening to your tone, your sect master is very well connected?”
Lu Ling Turtle calmly said, “Mister Lu does not dare to say one or two things, but I can tell you a fact. Sect master from entering the mountain to the summit, half a day’s work, will be the original two kings and four princes to the slaughter, at this time the deer mountain has recruited four first grade masters into the mountain, refers to the Xuan Kong half of each, in addition to the Lu Mou to meet the son, there are two sets of people at the same time in the welcome into the mountain. The Sect Master even personally went to Western Chu Cao Changqing to ask this Confucian Sage to serve as the Grand Guest Secretary of Mount Julu.”
Xu Fengyen was as dumbfounded as listening to heavenly books, teasingly said, “Then why doesn’t your sect master simply make Wang Xianzhi as the vice sect master, and then choose Deng Tai’a as the guest secretary as well, then you can swallow the Wu family’s sword mound in one bite, and then dominate the martial arts forests who dares to disobey, and that’s what is called a mighty wind.”
Lu Ling Turtle said with a slate, “Mister Lu will relay your son’s advice to the sect master.”
Xu Fengnian laughed like a certain little girl, and was considered to have given the expulsion order. Lu Ling Turtle was quite sharp, and no more nonsense, turned his horse and led the people to leave. The coolly dressed woman did not forget to smile back. Xu Fengyen in place dazed, for the deer mountain this strength can not be underestimated the devil is not too much on the heart, just that such as the smoke clouds in the dragon to reveal a scale and a half of the claws of the godfather, some taboo, do not see Xu Fengyen just half do not believe in the words of the Lu Lingcui, but in the heart is not the slightest bit of lightheartedness. Deer mountain standing jianghu eight hundred years not to fall, a son before the disaster, in the history of the magic religion is not the most tragic, one hundred years ago, almost all the sword fairy, except before and after the first five hundred years of the first person of the Lv Zu, without exception, have been the sword to go to the deer, kill a pass. Various dynasties, most of the founding of the country’s great talent, the successor is also mostly not lose too much, but after the river is declining, and occasionally a revitalization of the Lord’s efforts to save the day, but also to prolong the throne, but the Lord of the Deer Mountain, to the last term of the Liu Songtao so far, a total of nine people, are only one line short of Wang Xianzhi jianghu dominant masters, the master of the seat, would rather hang empty for decades, but also will not let mediocre generation to sit on, as long as who becomes the master! As long as who becomes the godfather, no matter how unknown outside the deer mountain, must be the world out of the big man, like that Liu Songtao, after the fire into the devil, out of the deer mountain, kill more than 10,000, so that the jianghu and the court are uneasy, have to intercept the dead, but is still no benefit, the Spring and Autumn and the nine kingdoms, the emperor alone to Liu Songtao killed two, one in the dragon chair to Liu Songtao body, a dragon bed inexplicably lost his head, the Chinese mainland on the public secretary and generals, and the Chinese government, the Chinese government, the Chinese government, the Chinese government and the Chinese people are all in a hurry. The Central Plains on the ground of the Secretary of the General is countless, rumor is that the final is the Dragon Tiger Mountain that one of the Heavenly Master Zhao Gusu personally went to the Dragon Pond, loss of luck purple gold lotus six, borrowing the power of the celestial beings branded nine prophecies, 10,000 miles away from the vast and majestic nine heavenly nails to kill Liu Songtao. With Liu Songtao the same generation of stunning people, regardless of the sword fairy or the three religions, without exception, have not certified longevity, about the will of the heavens is angry with their hands on the sidelines, the door of heaven closed for twenty years.
Xu Fengnian smiled to himself, a few years earlier, most like to listen to people like Liu Songtao such a story, but really when he rolled back and forth in the mud a few times, but also do not envy. Flying around all day long, hundreds of knives go down and can not be cut to death, counting what kind of jianghu people, are gods and goddesses. Xu Fengyen gently skimmed his head, shook away the flurry of thoughts, not to think about what deer mountain what godfather, one hand drew out the cuffs, made a gesture forward. Gu Dazu who asked for a lion’s share of the Northern Liang infantry commander gently followed, the two of them side by side, no longer twilight old man laughed softly: “Your Highness, previously cheeky with you to ask for a hot official position, do not take it seriously, nowadays the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry lacks what, what do you want, Gu Dazu also know some, will not give you trouble.”
Xu Fengyen also did not swollen face, nodded his head and said, “Previously letting Huaihua Great General Zhong Hongwu unload his armor and return to the field, my hands and feet are not honorable. To move Yan Wenluan again right away, even if Xu Snapdragon himself were to do it, it wouldn’t be easy, let alone me. But General Gu, please rest assured that the promised vice commander of the infantry army is definitely yours.”
Gu Dazu laughed and asked, “I, Gu Dazu, still have some fame in water warfare, when this vice commander of the infantry, your highness is not afraid to give the outstanding battlefield Yan Wenluan ostracized to the dust? Even you, the recommender, also follow the disgrace?”
Xu Fengyen shook his head and said, “On the surface it looks like the time, place and people are on Yan Wenluan’s side, but when I first traveled in the jianghu, there was a saying on the wall of the inn that stood high and couldn’t sit still for too long, and don’t rely on a moment of complacency to cover up for those who come after you. Yan Wenluan cultivate the first line for twenty years, resulting in a pool of dead water, this person looks like the sun, in the Northern Liang infantry in the word, in fact, is not really a bucket, the officialdom, the snake has the advantage of the snake, the dragon also has the advantage of the dragon, and again, if Yan Wenluan ate too ugly, really want to fall with me in the end of this kind of playboy sulk, I’ll borrow a donkey downhill, so that he accompanied the Zhonghongwu with the grandchildren go! .” Gu Dazu glanced back at the carriage Huang Shang was traveling in and lamented, “If Huang Shang was a foolish and loyal sourpuss, he wouldn’t have gone to Northern Liang.”
Xu Fengnian smiled, “The descendants of the Northern Liang generals, the so-called descendants of the generals, in addition to some second and third-rate families, few of the clan’s children to go to the border of the military career, the cavalry commander Zhong Hongwu did not let Zhong Chengxin from the army, on the one hand, is unwilling to cut off the fire, the second is the eyes of the venomous, recognizing that the martial rule of Liang for twenty years, the accumulation of evils is heavy, and in the end, will certainly have to be replaced by a well-versed in the rule of the civil servants to take over, but these years, the court has been the court of law, and the court of law has been the only one who has been in the military. Take over, but these years the court small hoe waved vigorously, digging up the wall to spare no effort, before is Yan Jiexi become a royal relative, followed by Jin Lanting power, and the great Confucian Yao Baifeng into the capital as an official, are thousands of gold to buy bones of the big strokes, resulting in the north of this is not a lot of scholars flocked to the capital. In fact, for me, will be going to the Beijing into the stage of Huang Shang has how many pounds of real talent does not matter, the key is that he is this Qingliu speech officer is willing to go to the northern Liang as an official, it is enough. The court has been disgusted with Beiliang for twenty whole years, and it’s time for the wind and water to turn in the future.”
Gu Da Zu smiled boldly at his words and laughed very heartily. Some of the finalized trial initiatives in his heart also dissipated at this moment. The white-headed boy was so young and already so atmospheric, why would he, an old man, need to act with caution?
Perhaps it is the ultimate comeback, in the dragon’s tail slope armor intercepted and slope down the road after the devil, a line of people walking exceptionally calm, steady approaching the quarry mountain, into the mountain before the roadside there is a wine stalls, selling wine old man saw Hu Chunya, with the see his own daughter in general, do not want to see the wine money, take out the good wine greeted the team of people, Hu Chunya also did not take the frame, personally pouring wine to the Huang Lord Xu Zhanzhou Zhou pro several people, as for the As for Xu Fengyen, this group of characters that made her scared and fearful, she ignored them on her own. Xu Fengyen has been on this barbaric woman has no good feeling, at this time thought is indeed no matter how annoying woman, in the end there are a few points of the heart of the time, Hu Chunya perhaps a lifetime will not know her most pleasing time, not when she was heavily made up red makeup to marry someone, not when she was spirited to go on the river, it may be that this kind of irrelevant knitted brows and smiles. Xu Fengyen sat and drank, Gu Dazu downed a bowl of wine, drank out of interest, raised his head to look at the mountains, full of green after the snow melted, and said aloud, “Heaven doesn’t care about the earth, but the wine does.”
Huang Shang sipped, wiped his mouth and also laughed: “Xing also die also, drink.”
Xu Fengyen did not join in the fun, but just smiled and touched the bowl with Yuan Zuozong to drink slowly.
Cai Shi Mountain reasonably far from the town downtown, into the mountain road forty miles, are narrow and difficult to travel, otherwise it would have long been suppressed to the government to raise their heads, but after twenty miles, give a person the feeling of openness, a large green stone pavement, can be three carriages drive side by side, visible Cai Shi Mountain’s financial strength of the huge, the road in the green mountains and green water between the surroundings. Hu Chunya is talking to a middle-aged man with a high position on the mountain in a low voice in the front, she turns her head towards Xu Fengyen from time to time, the man’s face is deep, fierce eyes, obviously not a good view of this uninvited guest. Xu Zhan Zhou Pro-Hu two people naturally do not want to cause trouble, but in the quarry mountain, Hu Chunya is the deserved golden branch, Xu Zhan can remind a few words, but he is not willing to say, Zhou Pro-Hu would like to say, but know that it is not good to open, a time on the road the atmosphere is a little weird, with the welcome Hu Chunya’s men and horses more and more growing, dozens of riders galloped to the air half lose the Dragon Tail Slope on the soldiers, a big lady! The sound of a big lady rising and falling, even more so, Hu Chunya was proud of herself and her demeanor was self-possessed.
Especially when a clear and elegant green shirt swordsman riding down the mountain alone, appeared in the field of vision, but also let Hu Chunya eyes wet, as if by the sky big aggression, the temperament is not bad swordsman should be the saying that the man forty a flower, the older the more popular, the waist sat on a ancient meaning of the long sword, the two strands of the sword spikes shake, in addition to the sword, there is also an eye-catching wine pot. The green shirt man on the horse bent down, eyes love, touched his daughter’s head, then to the crowd fist bow salute, Xu Zhanzhou Zhou pro these two descendants also rushed to respectfully return the salute. Quarry Hill is rich and powerful, a lot of people, they are so single-handedly wandering the rivers and lakes, can not afford to mess with, go out and rely on friends, especially no one walks in the rivers and lakes, with the young scholar hoping to make a splash in the world of literature is a reason, are talking about a crowd of people picking up firewood flame high, can make a pile of good karma is a good thing. Fame relies on oneself to fight, more relies on the seniors to hold, the old geezer understand.
Zhao Hongdan, who is a member of the family of the quarry mountain, knows his daughter’s habits, and for some of the words of the dirty water, seems to be completely unbelieving, but on the contrary, “Xu Qi” is particularly valued, and when he went up the mountain, he took the initiative to slow down his horse, and said warmly, “Tsubaki buds don’t know how to do things, and she is traveling this time, thanks to Mr. Xu, he is taking care of it, and this time, he visited the quarry mountain, and he had a good hospitality. This visit to Cai Shi Mountain, there is a place where hospitality is not well received, I also hope that Mr. Xu must be straightforward, since we meet, that are all our own brothers, then treat Cai Shi Mountain as home.”
Xu Fengnian laughed: “Xu Qi has been known for a long time about Cai Shi Mountain, Zhao warrior’s ninety-six hands of drunken swords rushing to the bullfight with a single drum is even better known in the jianghu, this time I’m bothering you, Xu Qi was really a bit apprehensive before entering the mountain, and it was only after he met with Zhao warrior that he was able to settle down.”
Zhao Hongdan sprinkled a big smile, mouth repeated a few times fallacious praise.
Sunny side of the mountain has a continuous piece of quiet courtyard small buildings, bamboo forests, elegant scenery, for the quarry mountain to visit the honored guests to live. Small building with small water bamboo building, warm in winter and cool in summer, building devices are also more bamboo compilation, bamboo flute bamboo bamboo Xiao bamboo bed bamboo table, some bamboo root carving is from the hands of everyone, antique color and aroma. Zhao Hongdan personally settled his party in every detail, before pulling his daughter Hu Chunya together to go up the mountain to see the real owner of the quarry mountain. Xu Fengyen out of the building along the stone path into the bamboo forest, the path on both sides of the wooden fence, along the road on the bamboo hanging a big red lantern, must be after the day after dark, the light stretches two lines, but also rare beauty, Xu Fengyen walked and came to an ancient temple before the spring ding-dong, the ancient temple for the CaiShiShan HuJia feed, must not be outside the mountain open to the visitors, hanging plaques written xiaguang chan ancestral temple, the door of a couplet is also extremely Interesting, “If you do not turn back, who will save your suffering. If you can change your mind, why do I need to be merciful?”
Turn back.
Xu Fengyen smiled slightly, some want to turn around to go back to the residence of the idea, the Zhu-robed shadowy creature appeared beside him, after this period of rest and recuperation, its two faces have already recovered most of the luster, just six arms into five arms, looks more and more weird and treacherous. Since Xu Fengyen didn’t want to go up into the temple, and didn’t want to return in a hurry, he walked towards the bank of the small stream outside the temple, squatted on a big stone, listened to the stream gurgling into his ears, one person and one Yin creature in a peaceful state of mind, oblivious to his own self. Yin creature lowered his head, saw his boots stained with some soil, stretched out his fingers to gently peel off, Xu Fengyen laughed: “Don’t pick up, go back to the dirty.”
But the Yin creature is still tirelessly doing this silent and trivial little thing.
Behind the two came a piercing scream of a child.
Ghosts, ghosts.
A group of children with embroidered clothing arm carrying a bamboo basket, carrying a small hoe for digging asparagus, in the bamboo forest have their own harvest, at this time suddenly see a woman in red who can actually twist her face behind her back, of course, will be treated as a wild ghost hidden in the bamboo forest.
“Don’t be afraid, here is the Zen temple, let’s smash that ghost together!”
“Right, father said that evil can’t defeat good, ghosts are most afraid of the sound of chanting and reading in temples, so let’s smash it while memorizing a thousand characters.”
When a slightly older boy spoke up, he viciously threw the hoe on his hand. The other children all chimed in to follow suit. The children of Quarry Mountain could supplement their physiques with medicines at an early age, and their qi strength was far from being comparable to that of ordinary children, as seven or eight hoes were thrown towards the stream at once. A few crying girls have also been courageous, their arm strength is relatively weak, hoe throw can not be thrown to the creek, mouth began to recite almost all private schools will let the children enrolled in the rote memorization of the thousand words. After throwing the hoe, did not hit, the boys began to bend down to pick up a lighter stone, but somehow, whether the hoe or stone, have been tampered with the established trajectory, lost accuracy, fell in the white-headed ghosts and red-clothed ghosts of this pair of ghosts and monsters around the children did not have the initial timidity, more and more courageous, and even the smallest of a few children’s maids, began to laugh and throw stones as a piece of fun, threw away all the neighborhood! After throwing all the nearby stones, they will replace them with bamboo shoots in the bamboo basket.
Xu Fengyen’s arm had been clutched by it, so he didn’t turn his head.
“Let’s go, call out to our parents to fight the ghosts.” A boy gave orders.
A little girl glanced at the vermillion-robed netherworld in disgust and said with a spiteful face, “Ugly monster! Sure enough, it’s a ghost!”
This one sentence of ugly monster.
It might have trumped all the harsh tactics of Han Diaoji outside of Shenwu City.
Xu Fengyen was about to speak, when he turned his head and saw that apart from one arm gripping his own arm, the remaining four arms cupped the two faces of Joyful Pity, the fingers were like hooks, oozing blood, almost wanting to tear off the face under the skin.
He gently lifted his hand, pulling off her fingers bit by bit, looked into the stream, and rounded her shoulders so that her head rested on his shoulder.
Her eyes were bleeding.
Four lines of blood tears blurred both cheeks.
Xu Fengnian murmured, “Xu Ying, how can you be so good looking that I thought ah, it’s not bad to die with you at that moment outside of Shenwu City before lending out the Spring and Autumn Sword.”
Her joyful phase was crying and her compassionate phase was laughing.
