Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven Three Surnames Taoyuan

I am naturally not familiar with my master's house. Since I began my apprenticeship, every day at midnight, I have come here to accept the cruel and cruel martial arts training method--after thinking about it for a long time, I wonder why I didn't have one. Being "tortured" to death, on the contrary, he developed a good skill.Could it be that a person must go through this painful stage before he can become a weapon? (Jade can't be cut, it can't be made into a tool. If jade has feelings, when it is carved, it will be unpleasant, or if the jade itself doesn't want to be made into a tool at all, isn't it very wronged?)

(Jade has no feelings, so you can ignore it, but people have feelings. In fact, you should ask people how they feel.) (The sudden emotion came from that Shu and Hu who enlightened Hundun, but killed Hundun—it has nothing to do with the whole story, so you can ignore it, or think about it after reading it.) All the furnishings in Master's house are all made of bamboo, and the handwork is very rough and crude. I didn't know why before. At this time, I walked in with Xiangma, Kuang Yinghao, and Zhu Xiangxiang, and saw the bamboo furniture I was familiar with. I understand why they are so crude, whether it is a table, a chair, a shelf or a couch, as long as you touch it lightly, it will "squeak" like a stool. If you sit down, the sound it makes is almost like groaning in pain!

Master naturally wanted to hear the painful sound of the bamboo! He has a deep-rooted hatred for the surname Zhu. In his imagination, how happy it is to press the enemy under him and listen to him groan in pain! Although I was only a teenager at that time, I also felt that Master's mental state was abnormal to a terrifying degree. At this time, we all only knew very few facts, and what we knew was: Wang Tianbing was Xiangma's senior brother, and Xiangma married a man named Zhu, so Wang Tianbing hated Zhu (Zhu). If you know how to make up stories, you can make up a story with just this little material.But the stories he made up are not as bizarre as the ones from Zixiang's mother.

After entering the room, Xiang Ma put her hand on a bamboo table, and the table made a "squeak" sound.Kuang Yinghao wanted to sit down, but the sound of the bamboo chair startled him a lot, and he hurriedly stood up.His expression was inexplicable surprise. I explained to him: "Because he hates the surname Zhu, he deliberately wants to listen to the groans of the bamboo." Zhu Xiangxiang bit her lower lip: "Mom, why did you come into this room? If you have something to say, can't you say it outside?" Xiang Ma waited for a while before replying: "Okay, you guys go out first, I'll come later!"

Since I was a classmate with Zhu Xiangxiang, I have seen many of her expressions, whether she is delicate, or charming, or slightly angry, or smiling like a flower. After watching it and watching it, I will always think about it. But at this time, Zhu Xiangxiang's expression really made people not want to look at her again—her pretty face was livid, although she had a straight face, but there was a kind of extreme disgust between her brows.As soon as her mother had finished speaking, it was naturally because she was in an extremely bad mood that she even ignored politeness, turned around and rushed out of the room as soon as she shook her hands.

Naturally, Kuang Yinghao immediately followed. I hesitated and looked at Xiangma. Xiangma looked very tired and waved to me, signaling that I would leave too. Originally, I wanted to say something, but her expression couldn't be more complete—she wants to be alone, she doesn't want anyone by her side, she just wants to be alone! So, without saying anything, I stepped backwards out of the room before turning around. After Zhu Xiangxiang left the house, she couldn't hold her breath, and hurried out of the yard before letting out a long breath. Her face was still very gloomy. Gave me a look of help.

Of course I have nothing to do.So, Zhu Xiangxiang stood still, just inhaling and exhaling heavily.I paced slowly while Kuang Yinghao circled around Zhu Xiangxiang. It took a full half an hour before I saw Xiang Ma come out. After she came out, she moved very slowly and closed the door of the yard carefully, with an expression of reluctance, and stood facing the door again. After meeting, she turned around, walked along as if she was the only one, and arrived at a pavilion, sat down in the pavilion, without saying a word. Zhu Xiangxiang approached her mother first, and the mother and daughter didn't say anything, but naturally, they held hands gently.

Both of them are obviously in great trouble mentally, but the two of them are silent together, it is still very warm, and it is touching to watch. The three teenagers are waiting for Xiangma to speak, and are ready to hear a story of entanglement, love and hatred.But after a while, Xiang Ma opened her mouth and said something that we never thought of. No matter how many years later, I can still clearly remember this sentence. I remember Xiangma’s expression, the environment when she said this, and our stunned reaction after hearing it. What Xiang Ma said was: "Have you all read it?"

Is there no reason?Under such circumstances, such a question was suddenly asked. There is a book that is no longer popular now. This book is called, which means a collection of amazing ancient prose. It was compiled by two scholars surnamed Wu during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. , word by word, more than 300 years, read with the heart of a scholar, there are several famous articles, like, I'm afraid it will be handed down forever, who doesn't know that "Wuling people in Jin, Taiyuan and Zhongwuling are fishing..." ? The three of us, apart from nodding, didn't make a sound.

Xiang Ma let out a long sigh: "The things described in the portrait may not all be Tao Yuanming's imagination, there are really... some." My immediate thought was: Ah!A story of Peach Blossom Spring. This type of story, not only, many novels are based on this form of story. Xiang Ma continued: "If thousands of years ago, the world was in chaos, and the Taiping Army led by Hong Xiuquan took down half of the country, and Hong Xiuquan himself was named the Heavenly King and sat on the dragon chair in Nanjing, it would have been a good time to be full of vitality. It's a pity that the generals of the kingdom of heaven are at odds, fighting for power and profit, and killing each other..."

When she was talking about this period of history, her tone was very sighing, and she also respected the name of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom-generally speaking of the Taiping Army, they were called "long-haired", which is naturally not respectful. After listening to it, I understood: "When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's defeat first appeared, there were three mid-level military officers who had an insight into the opportunity, knew that it would not last long, and the future results might be disastrous, so they retreated bravely. In the area, there are high mountains and forests, and there are some hidden places, so the three of them went to search together first, and finally found a good place isolated from the world. If they don't know the location, they can't reach it at all. The three of them are making some arrangements Afterwards, the whole family, old and young, moved into that place, and named it "Taoyuan of the Three Surnames", set up family rules, and lived in seclusion in the Taoyuan of the Three Surnames from generation to generation. Already!" When Xiang Ma narrated in this way, her expression was extremely yearning.But I couldn't help frowning secretly—I don't really agree with this form of seclusion.That kind of reclusive spirit cannot form the progress of human beings—some people may say that human beings would be better off without progress, and there is no need to argue about that. Xiang's mother sighed, and said slowly: "The three surnames are: Zhu, Wang, and Xuan──my surname is Xuan, and Xiangxiang didn't know it until now, right?" Zhu Xiangxiang bit her lower lip and nodded. Xiangxiang's father's surname is Zhu, and my master's surname is Wang. I can already roughly estimate how things will develop. Xiangma said again: "Among the three surnames, the surname Wang is a general. The ancestral martial art is extremely powerful. It originated in the Song Dynasty, and it was called 'Dragon and Tiger Kungfu'-julonghuihu. It is said that it was passed down by Zhang Sanfeng's ancestor. This martial art has been passed down from generation to generation in the royal family, and it has always been passed on to the sons but not to the son-in-law." When she said this, she glanced at me with deep meaning. In Xiang Ma's eyes, I felt her meaning: You are Wang Tianbing's apprentice, he laid the foundation for your martial arts, and you are also a disciple of "Three Surnames Taoyuan" Longhu Gong! After I understood what Xiangma meant, I immediately glanced at Zhu Xiangxiang again──Zhu Xiangxiang is also a disciple of "Three Surnames Taoyuan", so my relationship with her has naturally deepened! However, I also thought that it was useless, Xiangma and Wang Tianbing were brothers and sisters, maybe they were childhood sweethearts and grew up together, but the result was obviously not very good. My mind was disorganized and my mind was restless.At this time, Kuang Yinghao also looked cloudy and uncertain, and he muttered in a very low voice: "Martial arts! Hmph, one shot is useless!" What he said was naturally disrespectful to Xiang's mother. I don't know if Xiang's mother heard it, but Zhu Xiangxiang lowered her eyelids, just like me, pretending not to hear. Kuang Yinghao's words are very reasonable, but he neglected that if traditional Chinese martial arts have reached a profound level, their sensitivity and adaptability to harsh environments cannot be explained by science, and they may not necessarily be rivals of modern weapons. Xiangma took a deep breath: "The three families live in seclusion in the mountains, the Wang family is a great martial artist, and the Zhu and Xuan families are all literati. During the years of seclusion, the natural and agile martial arts are more useful than Zhe Ye's literature. Many. Originally, the Wang family's unique dragon and tiger skills were not passed on to outsiders, but in order to show that the three surnames belong to one family, the Wang family did not hide their secrets, and made public the family's martial arts. As long as the children of the three surnames are willing to learn, they can be taught with all their heart. " Xiangma spoke very calmly. Although what she said happened many years ago, the incident itself was very legendary, and she knew that it was closely related to the entanglement of the few people in front of her, so it was very fascinating. It was very high, so we all listened quietly, holding our breath, especially Zhu Xiangxiang, the matter was more directly related to her, so she was even more attentive. I will bury what Xiangma said that time, and describe it below.Some of the things that happened in the "Three Surnames Taoyuan" were not very clear at the time, and they were just strange things.Later, when I learned a lot, I understood the real reason. My reaction at the time and my understanding later were all added to the story told by Xiang Ma. Where "Taoyuan of the Three Surnames" is located, there are overlapping mountains on all sides, among the cliffs, it is difficult for flying birds to cross.The valley is surrounded by mountains, so the climate is suitable, the products are extremely rich, the land is fertile, there are pools, streams, waterfalls, and the aquatic products are also extremely beautiful. Not only that, there is also a large cave, on the wall of which there are many The crystal white salt block is really a paradise, as long as you can put away your ambitions, living in such an environment is really carefree and ideal.No matter how the outside world is turned upside down, in this valley, it is still a peaceful and peaceful fairyland. The problem lies in this sentence: As long as you put away your ambitions, Xanadu is the most ideal living environment. But what if you can't hold back your ambition? People have different personalities, and some people are born without ambition, willing to be indifferent, and do not seek to make progress.Some people are ambitious, go forward bravely, and are not afraid of strong winds and waves.That is a person's natural character, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong, who is right and who is wrong. The first generation of the three parents who moved into the "Taoyuan of the Three Surnames" naturally had no problems. They all saw through their temperament and believed that they had found the best way of life for themselves and their families. At that time, there was a small dispute between the three life-and-death friends. The military general surnamed Wang proposed: "I made the martial arts handed down in my family public, and the three surnames belonged to one family. , the children of the three surnames don’t even need to know the characters!” The military general surnamed Wang mentioned that "you don't even need to know the characters", which is the most thorough way to draw a salary at the bottom of the contract.If you don't even know a word, you don't need to study. If you don't read, you won't know so many things, and you will feel at ease. In this valley, if you live from generation to generation, nothing will happen. Regardless of the fact that the military general surnamed Wang is a rough man, his views are quite similar to those of the great thinkers in ancient China, Laozi and Zhuangzi: "Abandon the sage and abandon the wisdom"! If people have no wisdom, it is definitely a good thing for them to only pursue a peaceful life. However, the proposal of the military general surnamed Wang was immediately opposed by two friends who were well-read in poetry and books and full of knowledge. Pass on what you have learned all your life to the children of the three surnames: as long as they are talented, they will be able to learn great things." The general surnamed Wang didn't argue any more at that time, but just asked: "Even if you are talented and rich in learning, what's the use in being in Taoyuan with three surnames!" In a word, old master Zhu and Xuan were blocked for a long time. The military general surnamed Wang did not insist on only learning martial arts and not literature, so the children of the three surnames, who studied both civil and martial arts, were lazy by nature, and simply did not learn anything, but they were content, living a happy life without worries, desires, and desires. When the two old masters entered the mountainous area, each of them brought more than a dozen boxes of books, so some of them were teaching materials. It has been peaceful for many years, and the three surnames have also set the rules, and the same surname is not intermarried. Gradually, the population has increased. (At that time, when I heard this, I shook my head secretly. Because although the two old masters are full of knowledge, among the ancient Chinese books, there are very few natural science works, and there are many unreasonable ones. This kind of mythical legend is written in the book seriously.) (So, they must not know that if this situation continues, there will be a crisis blood relation.) (And the consequences of inbreeding are astonishing: the intelligence of the next generation is weakened, resulting in idiots.) The strange thing is that among the three surnames, the Wang and Xuan surnames have been passed down more, but the Zhu surname has been passed down for three generations. The males are all single-handed, and there are quite a lot of females.The man surnamed Zhu was tall, tall, handsome, and became the object of admiration for the girls in the valley.In one generation, the Zhu family actually gave birth to three males, but among the three males, only one was willing to get married, and the other two, all the females of the right age in the whole valley, except for those surnamed Zhu, almost as long as they asked, You can marry them as wives, and many of them are capable and beautiful.But those two youths were not interested, instead they liked to be with young men, and behaved like women, which caused everyone in the valley to be extremely astonished and regarded them as evildoers. (At the time, I didn't quite understand what kind of strange thing it was. Later, I realized that the males of Zhu's family had a genetic inheritance of homosexuality. This tendency determined by the genetic code was very helpless, and the reason was unknown. Nowadays, in many parts of the world, there is no homosexuality. Discriminate against people with such tendencies.) In this calm valley, waves of storms arose.But these two men are so smart that they have read all the books in the valley, and their knowledge is naturally different, and they are incompatible with everyone, so they wrote a letter and left the valley , ended her secluded life in the "Taoyuan of Three Surnames". For the "Taoyuan of the Three Surnames", this incident was like a nuclear bomb. After investigation, the two brothers also took away a batch of jewelry that they had brought with them when they entered the valley. At the beginning, the amount of jewels was really not small. Because I made up my mind to live in seclusion in the valley for generations, no matter how precious the treasures were, they were useless, so they were just randomly placed in the ancestral hall of the cemetery as a kind of offering, and there were no special guards. It is very easy to take away. The two brothers surnamed Zhu violated the most serious rule of "Taoyuan with Three Surnames". According to the rules, they must be brought back.It was their elder brother's duty to chase them back. At this time, all the people lived in seclusion in the "Taoyuan of Three Surnames" for more than a hundred years. They knew nothing about what the outside world was like, and when they mentioned that they wanted to leave the valley, they were regarded as fearful. What's more, at that time Zhu Boss had not been married for a long time, he was versatile in both civil and military affairs, and his martial arts were in the valley, so he was the top three choice, so everyone in the valley believed that he could bring back his two rebellious brothers once he got out. Zhu Boss was twenty-four years old. He brought a bag of precious jewels and left the "Taoyuan of Three Surnames". Those who stayed in the valley were waiting for the boss of the Zhu family to come back, but after waiting month after month, year after year, for twenty years, the boss of Zhu disappeared without a trace, just like his two brothers. Looks like it's never coming back. Therefore, among the "Taoyuan with three surnames", there are only women with the surname Zhu, and no men, so it is bound to become a "Taoyuan with two surnames"! Whether it is three surnames or two surnames, it is not a big problem. The problem is that the three brothers surnamed Zhu will never return. You know that the secluded life of Taoyuan may not be attractive, and the leisure of immortals may not be suitable for everyone. There must be something attractive in the world of flowers and flowers—this kind of thinking is a big gap. If the embankment collapses, then the Taoyuan of the Three Surnames will no longer exist. After Zhu Boss left for a year without any news, the elders in the valley had already seen the crisis, but no one could do anything about it.Twenty years have passed since Boss Zhu left. Although the departure of the three brothers of the Zhu family was regarded as the biggest taboo in the valley, and no one mentioned it, it was a nail in the heart of San Xing Taoyuan, and everyone knew it. If you don't pull out this nail, there will be a catastrophe one day! In those twenty years, the changes in the valley were not too great, but there were always changes.The most outstanding thing is that in the family surnamed Wang, there is a young man with all talents in civil and military affairs. People are divided into wisdom and foolishness. In many cases, it is determined by the genetic code of innateness, but acquired diligence also accounts for a large part.Life in the valley is comfortable. Among the unique dragon and tiger skills of the Wang family, there are some of the most powerful ones. It takes a very hard training process, almost self-abuse, to succeed. No one is willing to practice. It has been lost five or six times. Ten years later, I practiced successfully on this young man surnamed Wang. That year, this young man surnamed Wang was only twenty-two years old. , but has a very high status in the valley, as if he is the lord of the valley. Xiang Ma spent a lot of words introducing this young man surnamed Wang, which made me a little fascinated, imagining how hard-working and hard-working young man he is—anyone who has such a spirit, success is inevitable! Xiang Ma rested her palm on her hand, she was in a daze, paused for a while, and then said: "At that time, he was the leader and idol of all the young people in the valley, and also the... ideal husband in the hearts of all the girls." When she said this, her eyes became even more blank, and she paused for a moment: "Among many, many girls, he only likes one person──" When it comes to "one person", the voice is slow and sad, followed by a long sigh. Zhu Xiangxiang went over immediately and held her mother's hand.Zhu Xiangxiang's voice was very low. Although Kuang Yinghao and I both wanted to say what she said, we were still surprised when we heard it. She said, "Mom, is that girl you?" Xiang Ma didn't say yes or no, but said: "The name of the young man surnamed Wang is Wang Tianbing!" Kuang Yinghao and I looked at each other, the most outstanding young man in that valley is my master! I shook my head involuntarily, because I can never see the shadow of a young man who is striving to make progress in Master. Although people will change, it is difficult to make a person who drinks all day long, mutters to bamboo, and gives up on himself. A person who is extremely depressed and a young man who is striving to make progress are united! Except that he still has three points of heroism when he urges me to practice martial arts, he is like a walking dead! What made him change so much?Is it because he loves Xiangma, but Xiangma is married to Zhu? When I thought of this, I couldn't help but "ah", and I had figured out a little bit.I pointed at Zhu Xiangxiang, and said: "Then the three brothers of the Zhu family... the boss Zhu who went out to find his younger brother and never came back, is... Xiangxiang..." Xiang's mother raised her eyes, and her expression returned to calm: "That's Xiangxiang's grandfather. He left the valley to find his two younger brothers, and within three months, he found him in Beijing. He and the jewels he brought out have already lived a very good life, becoming a legendary figure who suddenly appeared in the big city, and blatantly... blatantly raising a husband...fancy clothes...pretending to be no one else..." Among these adjectives for the two brothers, we didn't understand what "openly raising a husband" was, so we were all puzzled.Xiang's mother sighed: "I don't know how God arranged it. All the men in Zhu's family are handsome and handsome. These two brothers are no exception, but they are not good at women, so they have to be men. They are male prostitutes, who only cater to lovers of male sex, although that was the social atmosphere at that time, but it was rarely so blatant." Neither of us made a sound. (The two brothers were male gays, beyond doubt.) Xiang's mother sighed again: "Brother found my younger brother, and my younger brother took him to enjoy the scenery of Huahua World. The defense line in his heart suddenly collapsed, and he didn't go back to the valley---he is more capable. In less than ten years, he has already He has become a rich man, with wives and concubines like a cloud, which is different from his younger brother. However, the male frail inheritance will not change, and Xiangxiang's father is his only son." She paused for another moment: "If you are not interested in hearing these old things, I will not talk about them!" The three of us shouted together: "No! Say it!" Of course I have to say: because she hasn't said the most important thing: Wang Tianbing, how did she and Zhu Zhiqiang become so entangled again? Xiangma took a breath: "Wang Tianbing's prestige in the valley is getting more and more important. The elders in the valley intend to abdicate and let him be the leader. Wang Tianbing does not refuse, but he said that he wants to establish a Taoyuan for the three surnames. Only after you have made great achievements can you take on this important task.” Wang Tianbing said that he made a great contribution to Taoyuan. As soon as he announced it, everyone cheered and applauded. It turned out that he announced: "The three brothers of the Zhu family must be brought back, otherwise, what kind of rules are there! For a period of one year, we will Unless you die outside, if you succeed or fail, you will all return to the valley.” Amidst the loud applause from everyone, Wang Tianbing set a date for leaving the valley. Three days and one night before departure, he and his favorite girl, Xuanying, walked under the moon. Xuanying is Xiangma's boudoir name. The love affair between Wang Tianju and Xuan Ying has been very public in the valley.The feelings of a boy and a girl, the lover will part soon, and it will take a year, so it is inevitable to be sad, so the two of them did not speak for a long time.After a long while, Xuanying sighed quietly, lowered his head, Wang Tianbing looked at the extremely pleasing pretty face under the moonlight, melting into one with the moonlight, and suddenly said: "You can go with me !" Xuan Ying raised her head in surprise—she hadn't even thought about it!But when Wang Tianbing brought it up, her heart beat wildly, and she immediately thought: Why not?She can leave with Wang Tianbing to find the three brothers surnamed Zhu! Wang Tianbing's next words were full of temptation, and he lowered his voice very low: "To be honest, I'm not selfish, looking for those three brothers... I really want to see the outside world, if I have you as my company , that... is really great!" Xuan Ying's heart seemed to be about to jump out of her mouth. Under the moonlight, her pretty face turned red with excitement and nervousness. She didn't think about it, but felt a "boom" in her head, so she nodded vigorously. This nod decided the future fate of Wang Tianbing and Xuan Ying, and, more amazingly, it also affected the fate of another young man who was thousands of miles away at that time, and even affected the fate of many people who lived thousands of miles away. The fate of man includes me!It can be seen that the wonderful chain relationship of world affairs involves a wide range, which is unimaginable! Wang Tianbing proposed to go with Xuanying, although the elders felt that something was wrong, they did not object. Thus, the pair of brothers and sisters left the valley and broke into a world they had never experienced before. With their ingenuity and ability, they quickly adapted to the outside world, and after two months, they found the three Zhu family brothers. And the first member of the Zhu family they met was Zhu Zhiqiang, the only son of Zhu's boss.Not only did Zhu Zhiqiang get it, but he also gave full play to the inheritance of the beautiful man in the Zhu family. When Xuan Ying and Zhu Zhiqiang's eyes met for the first time, both of them knew: five hundred years of injustice met! When Xiang Ma said this, she let out another long sigh, and we all fell silent—what happened further down, don't ask, you can imagine it!
