Chapter 134: The Scholar’s Flying Sword Chivalry

More than fifty camels into a line in the Gobi Beach difficult to move forward, the members of the caravan are silk cloth masked, most of the camel and walking, only a slender figure riding on a camel in early adulthood, the camel is an old man is still sturdy old man, the attire is refreshingly simple, apparently the leader of this camel caravan, the waist hangs a lamb skin made of large water bag, riding on the double camel hump between the silk laying on a delicate soft saddle on the figure always have This and that kind of question, most of the sky, so that the old man who is extremely experienced in traveling to be caught off guard, do not know how to answer. They traveled all the way, even encountered a succession of two original ordinary people life-long difficult to meet the mirage, two sand mirage is a rare picture of the sea island fairyland, I’m afraid that the legendary moral Zongfushan can be comparable to the camel-riding character asked the authenticity of the mirage and the origin of the old man had to falter and was really entangled in no way back, had to change the subject, say some hearsay wild foxes and monsters anecdotal evidence. The old man had to be evasive, and was really pestered to get out.

The camel rider spoke softly, “Grandpa Hong, is not after this Gobi Beach to the north of the big city?”

The old man laughed: “Miss, this piece of the Gobi Beach still have to go it, remember the last time the Flaming Mountains, looking close, enough to walk for half a day, the ancients said looking at the mountain run dead horse, is this reason.”

The figure on the camelback is actually a daughter, she reached out to uncover some blocking yellow sand into the mouth of the silk scarf, there is a pair of people feel cool watery eyes, curiously asked: “Grandpa Hong, our own water storage is not much, why also give that traveler a bag of water, he said to give the silver, you don’t accept.”

Surnamed Hong stout old man said softly: “Going out, can make good karma, no matter how big or small, is always a good thing, old servant I was in the desert in distress, it is the lady’s grandpa to help, otherwise Hong Bai today is the yellow sand under the white bones. Besides, we are hanging bags of water bags not much, but really encountered a predicament, but also can kill the camel to get water, at most, is less than a camel goods, silver this thing, in the end is still dead, not compared to the living.”

The woman nodded and smiled.

The old man heartily praised: “Miss is a Bodhisattva’s heart since childhood, good people have good rewards. In the future, you will definitely be able to find a good family to marry.”

The woman who sneaked into the camel caravan on this trip asked again, “Grandpa Hong, but I read those Jiangnan printed novels about talented men and beautiful women, and all the ladies fell in love at first sight with the downtrodden scholar, and I didn’t see any woman looking for a compatible husband. Why is that?”

The old man a burst of head, held half a day, said: “Miss you see ah, most of those scholars will also be the gold list, return home, and then with the women to grow old, Miss read this kind of forbidden books, can not only see the absurdity of the great ladies, those girls eyes are not bad, thousands of scholars in the capital to the examination, carp jump Dragon Gate, can jump over the dragon door of so many, in favor of them to see! The lady in this manual has a better eye than the businessman who has been in business for half his life, isn’t that right? If a girl is unfortunate enough to lose her eyes and marry the wrong man in the wrong sedan chair, the writer will not be happy to write the book.”

The young woman suddenly realized, some sweaty smile: “In the past from the brothers side to steal the forbidden book, only focus on watching the flowers before the moon and love each other, blushing in the moment after also forget, this reasoning really did not think to understand, thanks to grandpa Hong said through.”

The old man laughed: “Talented man and woman if there is no reunion, that counts what talented man and woman. Miss can live well when she marries in the future, if she is bullied, Grandpa Hong will fight to be kicked out of the house by the old master to pick him up.”

She shook her head and said, “I don’t want to get married, my parents and brother are good enough for me. If my future husband has three wives and four concubines and spends his days drinking, I will cry to death.”

Liang Mang in addition to put on the stage between the tea and horse road, there are several under the table silk road silk road, under the guise of a variety of trade, mostly by the border merchants to the Liyang Dynasty Jiangnan Road and the old Western Sichuan and other places to buy silk, sold to the North Mang royal court dignitaries, the rule of the country’s harsh empress of this is also a bit of humane, turn a blind eye, did not outlaw those roads, as long as there is a relationship with the gateway, it is a profitable business! However, a few thousand miles of long distance, the money earned is sweat money, earlier silk road merchants, many have died on the road, that is, these years away from the Yang Beimang two countries to stabilize, the war has stopped, before ushering in the silk road’s heyday, because most of the silk to camel as a means of transportation, the Jiangnan Road, there are a large number of similar camel post white camel bridge place name.

This camel caravan belongs to the southern dynasty Tantai family, Tantai is a big family name, big family naturally have big family spirit, but to support the faction or to rely on a variety of ways to make money, the first long house has been a family of books, the gentleman far from the kitchen, the two-sleeve breeze awesome, not to mention the yellow and white things to deal with the dirty work of the work fell on the head of the eyes of the parochial house, Tantai family branches and leaves, the old master of the knees of the full of children and grandchildren, may not be able to remember half the name of the face. The old master’s children and grandchildren may not remember half of their names and faces. Hongbai’s family is only a small branch, otherwise the young lady would never have dared to mix with the camel caravan, and the rules of the big valleys are so strict that they would not allow their own girls to show their faces. This spoiled woman called Tantai Changle, yearning for Tantai family’s hometown of Xishu, it so happens that the merchant caravan in the old Xishu territory has a thousand acres of Shu Mulberry, she entered the Shu is Sang Rou four outskirts of the green superposition of the beauty of the green, almost do not want to go home. After the Liangmang border, along the Silk Road to the north, more and more desolate and difficult to travel, good thing she can afford to suffer, always happy in the midst of bitterness, so that the Hongbai burden is much smaller.

The growth of this high building in the Tantai Miss always have inexplicable problems, Hong Bai this time south of the old Shu north of the Royal Court almost full of ink to shake a empty stomach, and then a small half a decade to cross the Gobi Beach to reach the edge of the Royal Tent territories, when the time comes to return to his hometown, the lady is estimated to care about the question of why, at this time, Hong Bai to her by the Silk Road origins of the Northern Liang, three sentences do not leave the line, talking about the Liyang Dynasty’s official clothing patch, and then to the granting of the title, and then the official clothes, and then the official clothes, and then to the official clothes, and then to the official clothing. Then said to the enjoined wife of the patch, said this, long suffering of the old man is also deeply touched, “our South official clothes are the Spring and Autumn Central Plains side of the evolution, like the lady she wore in the celebration of the pilgrimage to the patch, it is from the fourth grade, should be a woman by the husband’s noble words. Of course, there are also many women who are rich by virtue of their sons, and this is especially true of those ladies in the imperial palace during the Spring and Autumn period.”

She tilted her head and asked, “But my father is a military general, why is my mother’s patch an avian pattern patch?”

Hong Bai laughed, “Miss, there is something to be said for this, women are skillful and elegant for beauty, respecting literature but not martial arts. But there really is a woman’s official dress under the sky, probably no one before or after.”

She asked with wide eyes, “Whose?”

Hong Bai led his camel to walk on the scalding salt and alkali Gobi and laughed, “Bei Liang Wangfei’s mending clothes, that is, the animal print mending of the first-grade lion, is rumored to be extremely gorgeous, and is described as seamless. Even if it hangs together with the Bei Liang King’s python robe, it doesn’t lose any semblance of elegance.”

Tantai Changle has lived in a deep bosom for a long time, after all, she just likes that poetic and picturesque women, and she never asks about the change of dynasties, and for those Northern Liang Wangfei, she has only heard of their early deaths, and she has not been able to enjoy her blessings for several years. Hong Bai is the city of reckless origin, traveled extensively, there have been a few times to let the common envy of the fate of the meeting, the prime of the Central Plains in the jianghu also made a name for themselves, as to why wrapped up in the flood of the scholar north, and why the Tantai side branch of the fence, I guess it is some of the things that can not be said with a smile of the sorrows of the people. After the smooth years, not much dancing with swords and spears, but picked up the books that I hated when I was young, and cultivated my body and mind. When the old man mentioned this Wangfei, he also spontaneously stood in awe, and softly said, “This Wangfei, was once the only woman Sword Immortal in three hundred years na.”

Naturally, she asked, “What is a Sword Immortal? Can you step on a sword and fly around?”

Hong Bai, who had not yet entered the second grade, did not know the depth of the realm of land immortals, and his straightforward nature did not allow the old man to make up whatever he wanted, so he could only say sardonically, “It’s about possible, isn’t it?”

She skimmed her head to cover her mouth with a smile, good intentions not to reveal the old bottom, Hong Bai has become a refined character, the old face a red.

Tantai Changle restrained her slight smile and asked, “Do we have any Sword Immortal embryos in the Southern Dynasty?”

Hong Bai shook his head and said, “I heard that there are more over at Liyang Dynasty. Sword road a way, have to admit, since ancient times is the Central Plains swordsman is more stylish, in the past there is my generation of Jianghu leader Li Chun Gang, now there is the Peach Blossom Sword God Teng Tai’a, I think in the future is also sure to be away from the Yang people, it is not the turn of the Northern Mang to be the leader of the sword road.”

The woman said with a mesmerized face, “Sword Immortal ah, I really want to see it with my own eyes.”

Hong Bai is not good to explicitly refute, just whispered and laughed: “A sword can easily break the river, or it is to shake the mountains and destroy the city, we mortals, or not to see the best.”

Between the sky and the earth suddenly appeared phenomena. Like the unpredictable temperament of the Lord has moved the liver fire, suddenly manic, with the Lord to ask for food line, such as sharecroppers plowing, such as shepherds to drive the sheep, the most afraid of this. Tantai Changle is not clear about the seriousness of the powerful, Hong Bai is already pale and disheveled, the camel caravan of old merchants who always walk the Silk Road is also the same, Tantai Changle raised his eyes and looked out, the line between heaven and earth as if the black smoke, covering the sky, noon, the sky gradually dimmed like dusk. Walking in the yellow sand in the miles, a fear of land dragon draws water, and then is afraid of this kind of sandstorm, the former is relatively rare, the latter generally speaking more occurs in the spring, now is already from summer to fall, how come on this kind of monstrous trouble for no reason? The key is that this sandstorm is particularly aggressive, looking at the distance that the wind and sand in the sky of the horror of the situation, how Hong Bai did not expect to encounter this scale of wind and sand in this Gobi Beach, the moment to make a decision, the camel caravan in the Gobi Beach is already retreating, the camel caravan ordered to start killing camel peeling, eliminating the entrails, vacate the camel skeleton, so that Tantai merchants drilled in which more than fifty camels converged on a pile, and then draped in camel skin cover up! The gap, perhaps can escape a disaster, usually some small sandstorm, can also hide in the knees camel near, today this huge sandstorm is never dare to careless. Good in Tantai family raised camel skeleton are big, can a camel squeeze two people, as for this kind of recklessness, can avoid the sandstorm, depends on the fate of God.

Heard to kill camel to avoid the wind, the woman can not give up the seat of the white camel out of affection, crying red eyes, how are not willing to pull out the knife slaughter skinning. Hong Bai and the hand and feet of the camel team members do not care about the price of the goods, such as gold, fast knife to kill the camel, busy off the internal organs of the stomach sacs, the sandstorm is already close at hand, has raised his head to see a high as the city wall of black sand from the northwest to push, rolled up the flying sand and stones countless, whistling sound like thunder. Turning back to see the young lady is still looking at the white camel, the old man anxious red eyes, do not care whether the young lady will be grudges, carry a knife to kill the camel for her to take refuge, just as the old man said, the camel carries goods is very valuable, but the human life is worth more, this merchant brigade are all the elites of the Tantai silk trade, who died is the family in a short period of time is difficult to fill the loss, not to mention that Tantai Changle is the old master of the most favored little granddaughter! Tantai Changle is the old master’s favorite granddaughter, and even the old master loves her with all his heart and soul. If she dies prematurely in this wind and sandstorm, Hong Bai does not have the face to go back alive.

Hong Bai shouted, “Miss can’t be delayed any longer!”

Her face was full of grievances, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, she was pitiful, Hong Bai sighed in his heart, raised his sword and walked towards the most beautiful little white camel in the camel caravan.

Tantai Changle turned her head, although her heart could not bear it, she was not unintelligent enough to block it.

When she turned her head, she fiercely stared at the pair of streaming autumn water eyes, only to see a black shirt with a white background within the book scholar drifting, she thought she had blurred her eyes, blinking vigorously, just a blink of an eye, he wiped his shoulders, and went to the side of the raised knife Hong Bai, pressed the old man’s arm, Hong Bai looked up with a bewildered face, the book scholar, who had once borrowed a bladder of water with the camel caravan, shook his head as if to indicate that Hong Bai did not need to lay down the knife, Hong Bai When he hesitated, the scholar who should be the crown of the years of the book book touring in an ungrateful way to continue to swipe forward, a swipe is to flutter five or six feet, to say endless dashing style, Tantai Changle to see the dumbfounded, he is not the hands of the unarmed chicken power of the scholar? At that time, she saw him pay for water, she also in her heart laughed at him for not knowing the perils of traveling, and even dared to travel single-handedly in the desert of yellow sand.

At that time, she had a wave of unknown women’s thoughts, only think he is so handsome scholar, should be in the wilderness of the dilapidated ancient temples and temples to read at night, maybe there will be a fox fairy to recommend themselves to the pillow it. Good thing at that time silk scarf masked, no one saw her pretty face cheeks up peach blush.

The scholar swept forward alone, only about three miles away from that black wall.

The book case had a sword sheathed.

A red robe appeared horizontally on the side of the scholar.

It was Xu Fenian’s scholar who removed the spring and autumn sword floating in the air half a mile away, and even offered twelve flying swords, rotating rapidly around him and the red-robed netherworld without stopping.

A natural big circle sword array was born out of thin air.

Sword array knot green silk, twelve flying swords should be forged, naturally half of the yin sword, but the morning dew golden wisp several sword are yang sword, want to form a round turn as you wish, we have to borrow the yin thing dan baby an arm.

The business traveler only heard the scholar said a word, such as the Taoist immortal spit true words, such as Buddhism Buddha chanting Buddha sound.

“Rise!”

The torrent as far as, was blocked by the sword array, the two sides of the raging flow and pass away, only the front of the sword array was forced to make the pull up, in the head of the crowd is like a black rainbow hanging in the air, draw a circular arc, and then behind the crowd a few miles outside of the road to fall.

Tantai camel team is completely located in this kind of vision, Hong Bai was shocked beyond words.

It was amazing that he could really see with his own eyes that a swordsman was able to use his manpower to resist heaven’s time!

After the burning of an incense stick, the black rainbow and the sand and dust pushed in the back together, and the heaven and earth where the crowd was located returned to a level place.

The scholar has long since disappeared.

The merchants and camel caravan looked at each other in dismay.

The woman looked ahead in a daze.

In Hong Bai’s eyes, I vaguely remember that fifty years ago in the Jianghu Lake, there were also many women who looked forward to the green shirt with the sword.

When the sword is sheathed, there is no more injustice in the world.

Hong Bai softly lamented: “Really like Li Chun Gang ah.”
