Chapter 27 The twenty-sixth round of tea and heart-to-heart conversation
Xin Longzi's eyes lit up, it turned out that he saw Qi Zhenjun's corpse lying beside him, his sword was still inserted in his chest, half of it was exposed, shining brightly.Xin Longzi loves swords like his life, and he has been searching for the sword all his life. He didn't want to get the sword, and he suffered a catastrophe within a month. At this moment, he saw his own sword, and he struggled hard, and slowly moved himself on the snow. Rolled to the side of Qi Zhenjun, grabbed the hilt of the sword, slowly pulled it out, looked at it affectionately, and sighed: "Ling Weifeng, I have failed the sword you gave me!" The point of the sword was pressed against his chest, and he was about to commit suicide, when suddenly someone shouted: "Hero Ling, Hero Ling!" Xin Longzi loosened his fingers, the sword fell to the ground, and a person appeared beside the ice cliff, Xin Longzi exclaimed in surprise: "Han Zhibang, it's you! "
Han Zhibang is from Tibet.After the Qing army invaded Huijiang, Mongolia and Tibet had been on strict guard. Later, seeing that the Qing army was advancing very slowly in Huijiang, it had not yet entered Ili for more than two months, so it did not feel relaxed.Unexpectedly, when the Qing army invaded Huijiang, they secretly sent out a surprise army, led by the prince Yunti, who suddenly invaded Tibet, captured the Dalai Lama, and established a new Dalai Lama.Han Zhibang had a very good relationship with the Tibetan lama. When the Qing army was approaching Lhasa, he escaped at risk and went back to Xinjiang to ask for help.On this day, at dusk, when I passed Muztag Mountain, I saw that the valley was full of pits and corpses of the Qing army, and some of the survivors were still moaning miserably. It's called Ling Weifeng. When the two met, it was almost a nightmare.
Seeing that Xin Longzi was dying with blood all over his body, Han Zhibang asked in amazement: "Xin Longzi, what's the matter with you?" He took out the gold-chuang medicine that he carried with him, and waited to wipe the blood on his wound. Pick up the sword!" Han Zhibang is willing to heal Xin Longzi's wounds, Xin Longzi opened his strange eyes and cursed: "I'm dying and you still don't listen to me, hurry, hurry, take that sword here, while I'm dying I still have a third of my strength, so I won't be able to do it if it's too late." Han Zhibang had no choice but to pick up the sword and hand it over, but Xin Longzi didn't take the sword, and ordered: "Hold the sword with both hands, put it on top of your head, kneel down, kneel down! "Han Zhibang asked in amazement: "Why?" Xin Longzi said: "I want you to swear an oath to belong to the Wudang sect, and I will accept disciples for the deceased master today!" He promised, he would not die with peace in his eyes, so he had to kneel down.Xin Longzi was refreshed, and after hearing Han Zhibang's oath of conversion, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "Junior brother, you are simple and honest. I don't need to talk about the precepts of this sect. Someone will tell you later. Now give me the sword." Passing the sword, he took out a piece of silk from the scabbard, which was full of words and pictures, Xin Longzi said: "This is the copy of the 108 Bodhidharma styles I copied by hand, and my experience , wrote it all down. I buried the original copy in the grottoes at Luotuofeng, and I have translated this copy into Chinese. You discovered the Bodhidharma copy, but you were not from this sect before, so I borrowed it temporarily. Only then did Han Zhibang realize Xin Longzi's intention to enter the Wudang sect, so he quickly knelt down and thanked him.Xin Longziyun breathed a sigh of relief, forced himself to support himself, and asked Han Zhibang to read the words clearly under the ice cliff and beside the glacier under the light of the ice and snow. He explained to Han Zhibang the secret of the martial arts.
After Xin Longzi finished speaking, he was already very angry, and he still struggled to ask: "Do you understand?" Han Zhibang actually didn't understand very well, but seeing Xin Longzi was in such pain, he couldn't bear to ask him to continue talking, hesitated a little, nodded and said "Thank you, brother, I understand everything." Xin Longzi shook his head and continued: "If you don't understand, I give you special permission to ask Ling Weifeng for advice with the secret book, but I don't know how he died today!" Han Zhibang Horror asked: "What, Ling Daxia and you have both been plotted by the enemy?" Xin Longzi breathed his last breath, did not answer Han Zhibang's question, and continued: "There are also Gui Zhongming and Zhang Huazhao, You should also come to my Wudang sect, they will be your apprentices!" Gui Zhongming was asked by Shi Tiancheng to teach Xin Longzi when he was dying, and Zhang Huazhao was taught by Zhuo Yihang's deathbed because he obtained the Udan Immortal Flower. When Han Zhibang was still waiting to ask, Xin Longzi pointed at the sword and said, "Here you are!" He rolled his eyes strangely, and died suddenly!
Han Zhibang took the sword, washed it in the glacier, and was about to dig a grave to bury Xin Longzi, when he suddenly saw the torch like a long dragon moving up slowly in the valley.Han Zhibang thought to himself, he came here to ask for rescue soldiers, if this group of troops were enemies, if they were taken up the mountain by them, he would be unable to escape.He shed a few tears, touched a generation of strange heroes, and ended up like this, turned over the hillside, and hurriedly headed south.
Unexpectedly, this group of people was neither the grassland caravan nor the soldiers of the Qing army, but the people led by the young Kazakh chief Hu Keji.After Meng Lu escaped, Meng Manlisi began to hide from him. She couldn't sleep all night that night, and her heart was always very sad like being bitten by a small poisonous snake.
Meng Manlisi woke up suddenly and said: "There is an idiom in our grassland: Hiding from the one you love is like spreading mud into a spring, and the most beautiful things in the world will also change their taste. This idiom is right! Why should I Hiding it from the one I love? If I tell him, it would be a good thing to get my father back." Early the next morning, she went to tell Hu Keji, who led people to search and entered Muztag I was shocked when I saw countless corpses of Qing soldiers piled up and down in the valley. Just as I was about to take a closer look, I suddenly heard a girl's voice like a silver bell calling: "Who are you? Are you a caravan?" At the foot of the glacier, a red The girl in clothes, holding a person in her arms, rises slowly like an elf, Hu Keji and Meng Manlisi are stunned.
Meng Manlisi went up to meet her and said: "Girl, we are Kazakh fighters, who are you? Who killed so many Qing soldiers!" The girl in red jumped with joy and shouted: "Oh, Kazakh fighters! Then you You must know about Ling Weifeng?" Hu Keji said: "Ling Weifeng, how can you not know? He is the benefactor of our clan! Do you dare to ask if Nuhe and Hero Ling know each other?" The girl in red smiled sweetly: "We all know each other. He is a good friend of Ling Daxia, my name is Wu Qiongyao, and the one I hold in my hand is Liu Yufang..." Wu Qiongyao is naughty by nature, seeing Hu Keji and Meng Manlisi's affectionate attitude, she continued with a smile: "She and Ling Weifeng are like The two of you are as good as each other!" Meng Manlisi's apricot face was glowing, while Hu Keji looked at her with admiration, and hurriedly asked Liu Yufang how he was hurt?
Liu Yufang was really injured. She was forced off the cliff by Chu Zhaonan and the guards. She had no chance of escaping, but fortunately she had the strange hidden weapon Jinyun Pocket in her hand, which floated in the air and slowed down the speed of her fall. It just so happened that the brocade cloud pocket was shattered by Chu Zhaonan's stone bomb, its steel whiskers were distorted and messy, and it fell to the middle of the mountain, hooked on a pine tree, it stopped falling immediately, but the person was already unconscious.
Wu Qiongyao used the white-haired witch's unique lightness kung fu, first look a little bit, then fall more than ten feet, without dust on her feet, with her toes firmly on the ground, then change her position and jump down more than ten feet. From this point of view, it is the same as falling in mid-air.Liu Yufang floated down in mid-air, Wu Qiongyao saw it clearly, followed closely, and finally saved Liu Yufang's life.
At that moment, Wu Qiongyao told Hu Keji about the fierce battle that day.The young chief was very enthusiastic. While sending people up the mountain to look for Ling Weifeng, he invited Wu Qiongyao to live in his camp so that he could heal Liu Yufang's injuries.Naturally, Wu Qiongyao couldn't wish for it.
Besides, Fei Hongjin and Fu Qingzhu, since Ling Weifeng left, they have been hanging in their hearts, but the battle situation has become tense day by day. The Qing army suddenly advanced rapidly, and the army swept across the grassland like a storm. Zero, scattered in the vast and boundless grassland, when the army passed by, Fu Qingzhu and Fei Hongjin waited and watched on a high mountain, and saw the victorious flag covering the sky, thousands of horses galloping, and the army was very strong. Fu Qingzhu frowned and said: There are generals, and the commander-in-chief this time will definitely not be inferior to Duoduo." Fei Hongjin smiled and said: "We will not lose him, and first cut off the tail of a long snake!" When the army passed seven or eight out of ten, Suddenly concentrated forces to cut it off, and won a beautiful victory.But that group of Qing soldiers was very strong, even though they were defeated, they stood firm and waited for help.After several days of grinding, the Qing army's backup continued, and they had to let them go.However, most of them have been wiped out.
After the army passed, news came that the Qing soldiers suddenly split into two groups, one into Mongolia and the other into Tibet, and the one who entered Tibet was led by Prince Yunti.Master Fu Qing sighed to Fei Hongjin: "We won the battle this time, but they won a big victory this time. They clearly knew that this area was a gathering place for all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang. The snake's tail was cut off by us, and we tangled with us, but the snake's head still galloped away!" Fei Hongjin thought about it, and was a little annoyed that he had fallen into the enemy's trap, but Fu Qingzhu laughed: "Even if they have generals, as far as the overall situation is concerned, , but cannot restore the fate of defeat." Fei Hongjin nodded and said: "An army without the help of ordinary people will fail sooner or later, I understand what you say."
The two were gossiping when they suddenly saw Mao Huanlian and Gui Zhongming galloping side by side. Mao Huanlian shouted loudly on horseback: "Uncle Fu, Uncle Fu, who do you think is the commander-in-chief of the Qing army this time?" Fu Qingzhu Surprised: "How could I guess? You must have gotten some rumors for saying that!" Gui and Mao were sent by Fei Hongjin to inspect a camp where the Qing army was stationed, so Fei Hongjin He also quickly asked: "What did you find in the camp of the Qing army?"
Mao Huanlian took the flying red scarf and left, and said to Fu Qingzhu: "Uncle Fu, come and see, see my guess, right?" I saw a company of cut-off walls, with interdependent horns, intertwined canine teeth, and a deep sense of law.Fu Qingzhu said: "Arranging the army, like arm and finger, camping and marching, is quite satisfactory. This commander can be called the talent of a general!" , Fu Qingzhu and others went over to look at it, and saw a few lines of large characters carved on it. After they were written, they were carved by stone workers. Out loud, Mao Huanlian read:
Mao Huanlian said after finishing reading: "Uncle Fu, do you think this Qinyuanchun is in the style of Nalan Rongruo?" Lan Rongruo can write such good words." Mao Huanlian said: "I also feel the same way! This word is full of emotion, and it expresses feelings from the border town. During the battle with the army, there is a faint thought of anti-war. If it is not Nalan, who would dare to write it?" Fill in this?" Fu Qingzhu clapped his hands and praised: "You are so smart, you guessed right, the emperor is not the commander of the army!" Fei Hongjin said: "I don't know anything when you talk about poetry and poetry. Guessing from this poem that the emperor is in command?" Fu Qingzhu said: "If Nalan Rong is the prince of Xiangguo and a first-class bodyguard, if it wasn't for Kangxi's imperial conquest, how could he follow the army to this barren land?" Fei Hongjin Said: "Even if the old emperor comes in person, we are not afraid of him!" Fu Qingzhu said: "Afraid, of course we are not afraid, but Kangxi leads the army in person, which shows that he attaches great importance to the frontier. It is absolutely impossible for us to confront him head-on. It's gone." Gui Zhongming, like Fei Hongjin, also didn't understand the poems, seeing Mao Huanlian meditating on the wall, he suddenly remembered the past when Nalan Rongruo held her hand, and felt quite unhappy.
While the four of them were talking, they suddenly saw two fast horses flying towards the grassland in the distance, and they were chasing closely. It was a red-clothed girl, the sword light was flashing, and she couldn't leave the vest of the knight in front. The two yelled loudly, as if scolding each other, and suddenly both fell off their horses and started fighting with swords on the grassland. The red-clothed girl's sword skills were superb, As fast as a civet cat, like a bitter ape, when the sword light rises, there is a cold light, the knight in front is a middle-aged man, the swordsmanship is very strange, the footsteps are staggering, dancing like a drunk, it is Xin Longzi's Strange to recruit, Fei Hongjin yelled, rode his horse and rushed down the mountain, shouting loudly: "Junior Sister, stop, we are all of our own!" Fu Qingzhu followed closely and shouted: "Brother Han, stop, we are all here! "
Those two were Wu Qiongyao and Han Zhibang.It turned out that Wu Qiongyao and Hu Keji climbed up the mountain to search, but they saw dead bodies everywhere, including those of Xin Longzi and Shi Tiancheng. In the camp on the Erqin Grassland, Liu Yufang woke up leisurely, clinging to Wu Qiongyao's hand and shedding tears, the first sentence she asked how Ling Weifeng was, Wu Qiongyao told her that Ling Weifeng's body was not found, and she felt a little relieved , but after hearing the news of Shi Tiancheng and Xin Longzi's death, he felt very sad.Wu Qiongyao comforted her for a while, seeing that although her injuries were severe, she was not fatal, so she asked Hu Keji and Meng Manlisi to take good care of her, and she left immediately, and hurried back to report the news to Fei Hongjin , and the second is to ask Fu Qingzhu to rescue him.
At that time, Han Zhibang had already gone for a distance, but his riding skills were not as good as Wu Qiongyao's, and he was not as familiar with the road as Wu Qiongyao. In order to avoid the Qing army and find a path, he was delayed for some time and was about to return to Feihongjin's station When Wu Qiongyao caught up with him, Wu Qiongyao saw that the sword in his hand was the one Ling Weifeng had given to Xin Longzi. Han Zhibang stuttered and was not good at speaking, Wu Liangyao was impatient, and would strike at the slightest disagreement. Han Zhibang had just learned a strange move, which was immature and could not stop Wu Qiongyao's pungent swordsmanship. Fighting while fleeing, if it wasn't for luck to run into Feihongniu, he would have almost been injured by Wu Qiongyao's sharp sword.
Wu Qiongyao and Han Zhibang each talked about the situation that day, Fei Hongjin and Fu Qingzhu burst into tears without realizing it, Gui Zhongming cried bitterly, and soon Aunt Shi also learned the bad news, thinking about the ups and downs of this life, a loving couple, twenty years Separation, it was so easy to clear up the misunderstanding, and now they are separated from Youming, not to mention the sadness.She wanted to cry without tears, and looked into the distance for a long time, then suddenly stroked her sword and sighed: "His death is worth it! His brother Jiuquan knows it, so he should forgive him!" Han Zhibang said that Shi Tiancheng asked Xin Longzi before his death Speaking, Han Zhibang said: "My martial arts are far inferior to Brother Gui Xian, but since Xin Longzi has entrusted me, I will take his disciples for him and learn each other's secret skills of Dharma. Go to Jiange to be buried with Senior Gui."
At present, Fu Qingzhu made some arrangements, and set off with six people including Han Zhibang, Wu Qiongyao, Yi Lanzhu, Gui Zhongming, Mao Huanlian, and Aunt Shi, leaving Li Siyong, Wu Yuanying, Yang Yiwei, Hua Zishan, Zhang Huazhao and others to help Feihong towel.
Fu Qingzhu and other fast horses rushed to the Kaerqin Grassland, and Liu Yufang rested for a few days, and his injury has gradually improved.Fu Qingzhu healed her, and sure enough, the medicine rejuvenated, and within a few days, Liu Yufang's physical wounds were completely healed, but her spiritual wounds intensified.Because Ling Weifeng's whereabouts are unknown, and there is still no news so far, Yi Lanzhu is mentally haggard and depressed beyond words.But seeing Liu Yufang was sad, she could only suppress her sadness and let her go.Yi Lanzhu said: "My uncle's martial arts is unrivaled, so it is expected that there will be no danger." Liu Yufang said sadly: "I'm afraid there are too many enemies and he will be killed." Then he said: "If he is not dead, why didn't he come back? "Yi Lanzhu tried every means to comfort her, but she was always unhappy.Mao Huanlian rolled her eyes, clapped her hands suddenly and said, "Why don't we go to Mr. Nalan and ask him to inquire about Hero Ling? If Hero Ling is captured by the Qing army, he will know about it." Fei Hongjin said: "Hundred Among the ten thousand troops, how can you get in? What's more, he is the favorite minister of the Qing emperor, how can he tell you?" Mao Huanlian said: "I will transform into a shepherd girl, Uncle Fu will accompany me." Fu Qingzhu said: "Mr. Nalan It's not an ordinary person, if you see it, maybe you can get some news." Gui Zhongming was full of displeasure, but when he realized that it was about Ling Weifeng, he kept silent.
Master Fu Qing has superb medical skills. He made "Yi Rong Pill" which can change the shape of a person's face. .The two wiped "Yi Rong Dan", and the appearance still kept the original outline, but people who are not very familiar with it can't see it anymore.Liu Yufang held Mao Huanlian's hand, speechless with gratitude.Han Zhibang saw it in his eyes and felt many emotions in his heart.
Let's say that Nalan Rongruo's expedition this time was not what he wanted.Over the years, he has devoted himself to the study of the Book of Changes and Confucian classics from the Tang Dynasty onwards. He is compiling a large book, which has been named "Tongzhitang Jingjie". Go to the poor side of Juesai to fight back Tibetans.He saw that the Qing army crossed the grassland, killed countless cattle and sheep, and brought endless disasters to the herdsmen on the grassland. He couldn't bear it, but he was a nobleman.He couldn't openly rebel, and he was very depressed mentally. He had entered Shule with the army that day, not far from the Tibetan border. Not feeling a sense of desolation, remembering that after the death of my beloved wife, I was a ignorant person who was forced to fight with the army after his beloved wife died. With a long sigh, he returned to the camp, picked up the wolf hair, and wrote on the brocade paper :
Then fill in the name of the poem "Caimulberry", and put a note on the name of the poem: "Snowflakes on the plug".He thought in his heart: "I am also like a snowflake on a plug, I prefer cold places. I don't like prosperity. But although I have no roots, I just grow into a flower of wealth in the world. This is really good luck!" He filled it out. I want to find someone to appreciate the new words, but I can't help but look around at a loss, and sigh in my heart: "It's hard to find someone to talk to after the death of my beloved wife and aunt." For some reason, I suddenly thought of Mao Huanlian, "I don't know this Where is the strange woman who is proficient in rhythm and interprets poetry, where is she wandering now?" Before she knew it, she picked up her pen again, and wrote a poem "Huanxisha" and said:
