Chapter 4 The Secret of the Fourth Art of War
Just imagine how important the relationship is with a school of swordsmanship.No matter how powerful the Wudang faction is, the sword manual is not kept by the head master, Daoist Jin Guang, but also by the four major disciples. No matter how good Yun Zhongyan's lightness kung fu is, she must not steal it alone. "Is there someone more capable to be her helper?" Hei Xuanfeng thought to himself.
Just as he was having doubts, he could already hear Yun Zhongyan saying "Let's stay with you!" in his ears.
Hei Xuanfeng's heart moved, and he shouted: "Wait a minute, girl!"
Yun Zhongyan said: "Oh, I'm afraid of you, why are you always entangled?"
Hei Xuanfeng smiled and said: "It's not that I and the girl are long-winded, there is a story, maybe you will be happy to hear it."
Yun Zhongyan said: "How can I have time to listen to your stories?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "After listening to this story, it may be very beneficial to you."
Unconsciously, Yun Zhongyan also aroused his curiosity, and said, "What's the benefit, please tell me first!"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "You like to steal sword records for fun, so if there is one thing that is more precious and rare than Wudang School's sword records, do you want to look for it?"
Yun Zhongyan said: "What is it?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "It's an art of war. A sword art is only an enemy of ten or a hundred men, but this art of war is an enemy of ten thousand men. Do you think it is much more valuable?"
Yun Zhongyan chuckled and said, "I'm not going to be a general or marshal, so what's the use of the art of war?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "The sword manuals of the three sects, wouldn't it be useless if you stole them? Rare things in the world are always interesting in your own hands, don't you think?"
Yun Zhongyan couldn't help laughing again when she told him, and said: "You are very interesting. So you wanted to ask me to help you steal things, but you came up with such a nonsense to impress me. Hey, that's right My temper, you may be bored with serious truths, but I can listen to such fallacies. But I don’t know who owns this Art of War, it must be a very difficult person, otherwise you wouldn’t ask me to help to steal."
Hei Xuanfeng said: "It's not stealing, it's looking for. But it's probably more difficult to find this art of war than stealing."
Yun Zhongyan said: "The harder it is, the more interesting it is. Alright, now I've told you that I've moved my mind and decided to help you find it. Where is this Art of War hidden?"
Hei Xuanfeng smiled and said: "Guess why I set the date with those people on Hutou Rock?"
Yun Zhongyan suddenly realized, and said: "Great love is hidden on this Hutou Rock? The date with those people is just a foil, so as to save you an extra trip."
Hei Xuanfeng said: "It's not necessarily on Hutou Rock, but it's always in this Liangshan."
Yun Zhongyan said: "Who wrote the Art of War?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "You have to know, then listen to me tell this story."
Yun Zhongyan said: "Okay, tell me."
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Do you know the story of Liang Shanbo?"
At that time, less than a hundred years had elapsed since the uprising in Liangshanbo, and the story of the Liangshan hero was well known to all women and children.Yun Zhongyan sneered and said: "One hundred and eight good men from Liangshan gather here to do justice for the heavens, and they are doing vigorously. Who doesn't know? Who doesn't know? Do you think I am a woman who has never been out of the boudoir? Haven't been out The women in the boudoir will also know!"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Hey, since their one hundred and eight heroes were so vigorous in the end, why did they disappear in smoke?"
Yun Zhongyan said: "It's a question, of course it was destroyed by the army. It was Zhang Shuye, the general of the Northern Song Dynasty, who swept Liangshan, right?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "No, Liangshanbo's defeat was not at the hands of the government army, nor at the hands of Zhang Shuye."
Yun Zhongyan said in surprise, "I've never heard of this statement. So tell me, what's the reason for this?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "It's because of Song Jiang's mistake!"
Yun Zhongyan said: "How can there be a difference in one thought?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Uncle Zhang led his troops to attack Liangshan, and used the strategy of luring the enemy to capture Lu Junyi, the jade unicorn who sat in the second place in Liangshanbo. This Lu Junyi was originally a rich man with a lot of money, and he was reluctant to die. Surrendered. Zhang Shuye took Lu Junyi as a hostage again and recruited Song Jiang. Song Jiang cared about his brotherhood most. In order to rescue Lu Junyi, he came up with a bitter plan to delay the army. He hoped that the officers and soldiers would return to Liangshan to gather together after Lu Junyi was released. But I don't know that this "false surrender" strategy is falling into the enemy's trap! If it is not because of Song Jiang's mistake, even if Lu Junyi is really surrendered, it will not damage the overall situation of Liangshan! So I say, the real reason for Liangshan's defeat, It really wasn't because of losing to the official army!"
Yun Zhongyan listened with gusto, and said: "Among the heroes in Liangshan, there are many intelligent and talented people. Could it be that no one sees the enemy's trap and dissuades Song Jiang? Especially Wu Yong, a military adviser who is nicknamed Zhi Duoxing, Song Jiang is not always Did you listen to him?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "It is said that Wu Yong wept blood and bitterly remonstrated, but Song Jiang refused to obey. Later, Wu Yong said to him: We are brothers who swore that we can't be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day." , if you go, I'm afraid it will be bad luck, and you will never return. But I have no choice but to go with you. But I only ask you to postpone it for one day. Song Jiang feels his loyalty. He was originally with Zhang Shuye I made an appointment to surrender the next day, but for Wu Yong's sake, I finally delayed it for another day."
Yun Zhongyan said: "What is Wu Yong going to delay this day for?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Wu used this day's effort to write an art of war."
Yun Zhongyan suddenly realized, and said: "Oh, so what you are looking for now is the art of war used by Wu, the military commander of Liangshanbo!"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "That's right, Wu Yong wrote for a day and a night, until it was five o'clock, before he finished this art of war. After it was finished, Wu Yong called Lu Zhishen and entrusted him with this art of war."
Yun Zhongyan smiled and said: "Who is not easy to entrust, but entrusts to this Monk Hua?"
Hei Xuanfeng said sternly: "Don't underestimate this Monk Hua. This Monk Hua is a person who is capable of great responsibility. He has the same temperament as Li Kui, innocent and upright, and he is most loyal to Liang Shanbo's career, but he is not as good as Li Kui. Reckless. So after deliberation, Wu Yong still thinks that Monk Hua is the most suitable."
Yun Zhongyan smiled and said, "You seem to be by Wu Yong's side that night."
Hei Xuanfeng smiled and said: "I'm following the tone of a 'storyteller' in telling stories, so I have to add more oil and sauce to attract the audience."
Yun Zhongyan said: "Okay, I didn't expect you to be an excellent storyteller. I've already been fascinated by your story, so hurry up and continue."
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Wu Yong asked Lu Zhishen to bury this art of war in a certain place, and said: 'This art of war is what I have devoted all my life to. Tomorrow, Brother Song and I will go to see Zhang Shuye. I am afraid that we will never return. Yes. I want this art of war to be hidden in a famous mountain and passed on to future generations. But I don’t want it to be buried for too long, and no one will find it. The state of Jin will definitely be a big problem for the state of Song in the future. If this art of war can fall into a future resistance The hand of the golden leader must be of great use. Do you know what I mean?'
"Lu Zhishen said: 'You want me to keep this secret, and when I find a suitable person, ask him to discover this art of war?'
"Wu Yongdao: 'That's right, so you have to flee down the mountain now, find a monastery to become a monk, and still be your monk. If you can't find someone to entrust, you have to find a way to pass this secret on to future generations.'"
Yun Zhongyan said: "I have also heard a legend that Lu Zhishen became a monk in Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou after the fall of Liangshan. Now there is a golden statue of Lu Zhishen under the Six Harmonies Pagoda in Hangzhou. Let me go Haven’t seen it yet. But hearing what you said, this legend is actually true?”
Hei Xuanfeng said: "The person who told me this secret, said it as if he had heard it and seen it, I would rather believe it."
Yun Zhongyan asked: "Why didn't Wu Yong ask Lu Zhishen to take this Art of War out? But later generations have to spend a lot of time looking for it?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Liangshan is already surrounded by the officers and soldiers. At that time, Wu Yong was also afraid that he would not be able to escape. Besides, it is safer to bury him underground than to carry him with him."
Yun Zhongyan said: "Then do you know where it is buried?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "If I know, I don't need to ask you to help me find it together."
Yun Zhongyan said: "Mt. Liang is so big, with nine peaks and a radius of 800 li. Looking for such an art of war is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Although the hope is slim, there are still some clues that can be used as a basis."
Yun Zhongyan quickly asked, "What clue?"
Hei Xuanfeng had a thought, and deliberately smiled: "Aren't you interested in listening to me tell the story of Liang Shanbo first?"
Yun Zhongyan said: "You speak so beautifully, why should I not want to hear it? Alright, press the button for the time being about the art of war. Please, you, an excellent storyteller, continue the previous chapter." She imitated the words of ordinary storytellers at that time. The tone made Hei Xuanfeng laugh.However, Hei Xuanfeng is a very careful person, and in her joking tone, she can also see her unconcealable desire to know the whereabouts of this Art of War.
Hei Xuanfeng laughed, and continued: "There are two sides to the story. After Lu Zhishen fled down the mountain privately, the next day Song Jiang took a group of brothers to Zhang Shuye's army to carry out his trick of 'feigning surrender'. There are two brothers who refuse to go with him."
Yun Zhongyan said: "Which two are they?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "One is Li Kui, the black whirlwind, and the other is Li Jun, the chaotic dragon."
Yun Zhongyan said: "Isn't Li Kui the most loyal to Song Jiang?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Because he is loyal to Song Jiang, he has to prepare a way out for Song Jiang. He said: Brother, if you come back, then that's all. The emperor wants someone! You have to know that although Li Kui is loyal to Song Jiang, he is also the most opposed to Zhao An!"
Yun Zhongyan smiled and said, "It sounds like you admire Li Kui the most among the 108 heroes in Liangshanpo. No wonder people want to give you the same nickname."
Hei Xuanfeng said: "I am ashamed of being given this nickname. How can I compare to that Black Xuanfeng from Liangshanbo?"
Yun Zhongyan said with a smile: "You're welcome, I think you are more intelligent and courageous than that black whirlwind on Liangshanpo. Let's go on, what about that messy Jianglong Li Jun?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Li Jun is different from Hei Xuanfeng, he made the idea of being alone, and later heard that he fled overseas, occupied a small island, and became king himself."
Yun Zhongyan said: "This person has nothing to do with the grand purpose, so there is no need to talk about him anymore. Song Jiang and others heard that they were poisoned to death by the court. Is it true?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Of course it's true. Song Jiang thought he was using a trick of 'feigning surrender', but he didn't know that he had already fallen into Zhang Shuye's scheme. He and his brothers went to Zhang Shuye's army. They were all poisoned to death at the feast! The most pity is Wu Yong, the wise man. He had already guessed that the wine was poisonous, so he drank it with Song Jiang. I also fabricated this, but according to the historical facts, Song Jiang did not conquer Fangla, so it seems reasonable.)
"After Zhang Shuye poisoned Song Jiang to death, he asked Lu Junyi to falsely pass on Song Jiang's order and trick Li Kui into leaving Liangshan. Although Li Kui refused to join Zhang Shuye's army, he was also poisoned to death."
Yun Zhongyan said: "It's a pity that it's not Wu Yong, the wise multi-star, but the most pity is the emperor Laoer of the Song Dynasty."
Hei Xuanfeng said: "How do you say that?"
Yun Zhongyan said: "If Song Jiang and his brothers hadn't been poisoned, the Jin people probably wouldn't have won the Northern Song Dynasty so easily."
Hei Xuanfeng said sadly: "Your words are the most reasonable. The court's matter is really self-destructing the Great Wall."
Yun Zhongyan said: "Don't talk about the past and the present, I still want to hear your unfinished story."
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Yes, now I should explain to that Monk Hua, Lu Zhishen.
"After Lu Zhishen knew that Song Jiang and all his brothers were poisoned to death, considering his character, I think he must be in pain and wish to avenge his brothers. But because he was entrusted by a military adviser, he could only remain anonymous. I have been a monk in the temple for more than ten years."
Yun Zhongyan said: "This is really embarrassing for him. What happened next?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "After that, he became so unknown."
Yun Zhongyan said: "Dead? Where is the secret of the Art of War?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "He only left four lines of gatha. It is said that he was under the Pagoda of Six Harmonies, listening to the tide sounds at night, and suddenly enlightened to the Dao, leaving four lines of gatha. He passed away!"
Yun Zhongyan said: "Which four lines of gatha are they?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "These four verses are: Sit and watch the clouds rise, lie down and listen to the tide. The Tao and deeds are perfect, the heart of the sky and the moon are full."
Yun Zhongyan said with a smile, "The third sentence is too vulgar, but the others are too elegant, not like what Lu Zhishen said."
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Maybe he has been a monk for more than ten years, his anger has long since subsided, and his vomit is also different from before. It is not surprising that he suddenly enlightened and uttered such gatha when he was dying."
Yun Zhongyan laughed suddenly and said, "I understand, what Lu Zhishen said in these four verses is not about Buddhism, but about the art of war, and it is about the secret of the place where the art of war is hidden."
Hei Xuanfeng said: "How do you know?"
Yun Zhongyan said: "When a person is dying, of course what he cares about is what he considers the most important unfinished business. Especially Lu Zhishen, a dog-meat monk, he is willing to abide by the rules and regulations in Lingyin Temple for more than ten years. , for what? It’s not because of Wu Yong’s entrustment. When you think of him ‘passing away’, do you really think about Buddhism in your heart?”
Hei Xuanfeng smiled and said: "In my opinion, Lu Zhishen is more intelligent than any monk who strictly observes the precepts. He is the one who can truly become a Buddha in the flesh. However, what you said is also very reasonable. Tell me this secret friend , he thought so too."
Yun Zhongyan glanced at Hei Xuanfeng and said, "Why are you willing to tell me such an important secret?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "I want to use your cleverness to comprehend this gatha so that I can find Wu Yong's Art of War."
Yun Zhongyan said: "I'm not a disciple of Buddhism, so I don't know how to read Buddhist verses in detail. When it comes to being smart, you are really smart."
The last two sentences came out of nowhere, Hei Xuanfeng didn't know what she was referring to, so he was taken aback.
Yun Zhongyan said again: "You and I have never met before, are you not afraid that I will find out the art of war and hide it from you?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "You won't."
Yun Zhongyan said: "How do you know I can't."
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Because you are Han."
Yun Zhongyan smiled secretly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, so what if you're Han?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "If you are a Han Chinese, you will never take this Art of War as your own."
Yun Zhongyan said: "Why?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Wu used this art of war to help the Han people resist the gold, and the Han who found this art of war, unless he was willing to be a slave of the gold captives, how could he keep it for himself instead of taking it away?" Dedicated to the leader of the rebel army?"
Yun Zhongyan said: "Okay, I admit that what you said is reasonable. But for your sake, don't you think it's a bit risky to trust me like this?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "Although you and I are strangers, from the two things you helped me with, I already know who you are."
Yun Zhongyan smiled and said, "Maybe I'm not as good a person as you imagined?"
Hei Xuanfeng smiled and said: "Then I can only take some risks. However, I believe that I will not misjudge people."
After hearing this, Yun Zhongyan felt very comfortable, and said with a smile: "You are very confident. Well, then we should start looking, but Liangshan is so big, where can we find it?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "I think it must be within a radius of ten miles near the ruins of the Zhongyi Hall in Po Liangshan."
Yun Zhongyan said: "What do you see so cloudy?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "The night Wu used the art of war was written, it was almost five o'clock, and Lu Zhishen was asked to help him bury it. Common sense, they must finish this matter before dawn. The important leader of Liangshanbo is the The one near the Loyalty Hall, how can it go too far in one watch, so I guess it is buried within a radius of ten miles."
Yun Zhongyan said: "Do you already know where the site of the Loyalty Hall is?"
Hei Xuanfeng said: "In this flat place on Hutou Rock, it is estimated that the site of the Loyalty Hall may be several miles away. At worst, it will not exceed the range of twenty miles."
Yun Zhongyan said: "A twenty-mile radius can be covered in two to three hours, but to find a strategy of war, even if it is not as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, it is quite difficult."
Hei Xuanfeng smiled and said: "If it's not difficult, why should I ask you to help me find it? Fortunately, there are four lines of verses that you can refer to in detail, maybe you can touch the scene and create love, and there is nowhere to find it if you break through the iron shoes. It doesn't take much effort to get it."
Yun Zhongyan smiled and said: "This is really about fate. Alright, from here, you will look east, and I will go west. At dawn tomorrow, we will meet here."
After the breakup, Hei Xuanfeng's thoughts fluctuated, Yun Zhongyan's back disappeared into the forest, and he was still in a state of confusion.
He had an idea this time, and temporarily asked Yun Zhongyan to help him find this art of war, which was really risky.
He remembered Yun Zhongyan's expression when he was talking to him just now, when he said "Because you are Han", Yun Zhongyan asked him back: "Oh, so what if you are Han?" At that time, Yun Zhongyan raised her eyebrows , there seemed to be a sly smile on his face.
The second half of this sentence should be: "So what if she's not Han?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but startled, and asked himself in his heart: "It would be so bad if she wasn't Han, um, there is so-called hypocrisy in the art of war." The strategy of what is true and what is false, she dared to ask this sentence, is it just to dispel my doubts? Could it be that she is really not a Han Chinese?"
A gust of mountain wind blew by, and Hei Xuanfeng regained consciousness, and then thought: "It seems that I am too suspicious. Yes, I have never heard that Yun Zhongyan killed an official of Jin Kingdom, but she once helped me Stealing Wanyan Changzhi's military plan, stealing such an important military plan, wouldn't it be a greater loss to the enemy than killing a hundred Jin officials? How could she be a Jin person? Of course it is mine Suspicion blind!"
Thinking again: "Aren't I troubled by not knowing what kind of person she is? This is the best way to test her. Tomorrow morning, the truth will be revealed." "Oh, but in order to release my heart Doubts, is it worth taking such a big risk?" Suddenly Hei Xuanfeng discovered the secret in his heart: "Why am I so eager to know what kind of person she is?" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel hot on my face and feel at a loss in my heart up.
Yun Zhongyan was walking alone in the forest, and her heart was also ups and downs, which could not be calmed down for a long time.
Yun Zhongyan thought in her heart: "Unexpectedly, he has no doubts about me, so he just trusts me." The shadow of Hei Xuanfeng had long since disappeared, but it appeared in her mind.That chic demeanor and witty conversation seemed to have left a mark on her heart, making her upset and burning her face.
"Well, I can join forces with him now, but I'm afraid that one day in the future, he and I will inevitably be in a hostile position." Yun Zhongyan thought to himself.
Suddenly hearing the sound of water leaking disturbed her thoughts, Yun Zhongyan looked up, but it turned out that there was a waterfall on the top of the mountain, hanging upside down, flowing into the mountain stream.The mountain stream is between the two peaks.The closer you get, the louder the sound of the water.
Yun Zhongyan's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered Lu Zhishen's four verses.This night is the night of the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and it is already the third watch, and the moon is about to reach Tianxin.
Yun Zhongyan thought to himself: "Sit and watch the clouds rise, lie down and listen to the tide. The Tao and deeds are perfect, the heart of the sky and the moon are full. Ignore the third sentence. The scene described in this gatha seems to be here and now!"
There are jagged rocks on both sides of the mountain stream, but among the rocks, there is a stone as big as a round table and as smooth as a mirror, just in front of the stream to wash your feet.Yun Zhongyan smiled and said, "Let me give it a try."
Yun Zhongyan sat on the rock and looked up and saw the clouds and mist, and the peaks of Liangshan seemed to be hidden in the sea of clouds.The light clouds cage the tree, turning into various scenes, and it seems that the cloud rises from the tree and fills the mountains.It really is a wonder that is hard to see on the flat ground.Yun Zhongyan thought to himself: "Clouds take mountains as their body, and mountains take clouds as their clothing. The ancients said these two sentences are indeed correct. But I can appreciate the beauty of Yunqi, but how does it relate to the art of war?" ?”
Yun Zhongyan dipped her feet in the stream, and the cool feeling made her feel very comfortable.Yun Zhongyan said with a smile: "Lie down and listen to Chaoxuan, let me try it too."
With her pillow on the rock, Yun Zhongyan lay down, the waterfall hit the mountain stream, the sound of the water was loud, it really sounded like the sound of the tide.Yun Zhongyan thought to himself: "Lu Zhishen never had the leisure to lie down and listen to the sound of the tide that night, but that art of war must not be hidden under the water. How should this verse be interpreted?"
She couldn't explain the doubts in her heart, but after listening for a while, she heard something strange.Amidst the roaring sound of the impact of the waterfall, and the sound of a zither rising from the ground, Yun Zhongyan's heart suddenly moved: "There must be a hollow underground near here!" Jumping up to look around, but No cave was found.
When I looked up by chance, I saw the moon was reaching the heart of the sky.Yun Zhongyan thought: "Wait for me to do it again according to the gatha." Lying on the smooth stone platform again, suddenly saw the shadow on the opposite stone wall, like a long arm, a thick middle finger, Stretched very long.Yun Zhongyan was startled, but when she looked carefully, it turned out to be a pine tree protruding from the cliff, and one of its branches was projected on the stone wall.
Yun Zhongyan had an idea: "Could it be that the 'middle finger' is pointing to something strange?" Immediately, relying on ingenious lightness kung fu, she climbed up the stone wall.
The stone wall is like a cut, covered with moss, slippery without leaving, and finally climbed to the projection of the pine branches. When you look closely, it is just a rock covered with moss, and there is nothing special about it.
Yun Zhongyan spent a lot of effort, feeling unwilling, and thought: "Could it be that there are writings left on this stone wall?" She immediately peeled off the moss, and sure enough, she found a large Chinese character, which was the word "for".
Yun Zhongyan was overjoyed, and quickly ignited the flint she carried with her, continued to peel off the moss on the wall, took a closer look, and found a word for "Heaven", a character for "Xing", and a character for "Tao", but it was also Just these four characters.No other fine print.
Yun Zhongyan originally thought that there might be a book left by Wu Yong on the stone wall, instructing how to find the Art of War, but she couldn't help being very disappointed.I thought to myself: "Walk the way for the sky, this is the banner of Liang Shanbo, and it is not unusual to carve it on a stone."
Just when I was feeling disheartened, I suddenly found that the characters "Tao" and "Xing" were missing a stroke. At first, I thought it was a long time, and the handwriting was peeling off. After a closer look, I found out that this is the original case.
Yun Zhongyan pondered for a long while, thinking: "Who writes, why did you deliberately write less and less strokes in the characters of Dao and Xing?" Suddenly he had an idea, and thought: "The third line in Lu Zhishen's gatha is the perfection of Dao and Xing. Could it be that the word "Tao Xing" does not refer to the original meaning, but refers to the word Dao Xing on this stone wall? But the gatha says that the practice is complete, but there is something missing here, what is the reason?"
After thinking hard for a long time, Yun Zhongyan suddenly came up with an idea: "Since the gatha says that the way is perfect, I will make it up for it."
At that moment, Yun Zhongyan drew out her sword and carved characters with the sword to make up for the two missing strokes.Stamp heavily on the upper left of the word "Tao", and cut obliquely at the lower right of the character "Xing", and it becomes a dot and a tick.
When the sword edge arrived, a miracle appeared suddenly. After the hook was completed, a "cracking" sound was suddenly heard, and the rectangular stone engraved with "Walking the Way for Heaven" seemed to be loose. A stone was lifted up for her, revealing a hole.
It turns out that among the 108 heroes in Liangshan Park, there is a skilled star Jin Dajian who was born as a stonemason, who is good at building organs, and his craftsmanship is astonishing.When Wu Yong buried this Art of War, besides Lu Zhishen, Jin Dajian accompanied him.The mechanism on the stone wall was arranged by him.
Yun Zhongyan was overjoyed, and immediately lit a bunch of pine branches, and got in. The hole was so dark and bottomless that Yun Zhongyan was a little scared without realizing it.But I thought in my heart: "If you find this art of war for me, it will be a great contribution. Even if I don't want to receive credit, at least I can get my father's praise." So I went on boldly.
When I got to the bottom, I saw another small hole in the hole, but it was the size of a fist, and water flowed in, merged into a small stream, and flowed out from the stone gap on the other side.Yun Zhongyan thought: "This cave is really under the waterfall."
There are three seal characters "Shuiyun Cave" engraved on a stone in the center of the cave.
Yun Zhongyan thought: "There must have been an exit from this cave back then. In this cave, you can enjoy the wonders of the waterfall outside and the sea of clouds on the mountain, so it was named Shuiyun Cave, but it was blocked later, but I don't know. Where is that Art of War hidden?"
There are many stalagmites formed by dripping and congealing stalactites in the cave, some resemble people, some resemble objects, but Yun Zhongyan has no intention of watching, and is only looking for the Art of War.
Seeing that more than half of the pine branches in her hand had been burned, and there was no clue to be found, Yun Zhongyan became impatient, and suddenly thought: "There is a word 'cloud' in the middle of Shuiyun Cave, and Lu Zhishen's first verse is ' Sit and watch the clouds rise', isn't this verse not an empty description of the scene? Why don't I use the method of opening the hole just now to try it again."
So Yun Zhongyan used all her strength to push up under the stone engraved with the word "cloud", and the stone was pushed up by her to the sky, revealing a box-shaped gap about one foot long and five inches wide. , reached in and touched something hard, took it out and saw it was a sandalwood box, opened the box and found a book inside.
Yun Zhongyan was overjoyed and almost shouted "I found it, I found it!" Suddenly she thought: "It's better not to let Hei Xuanfeng know." In fact, in this cave, there is a waterfall outside, and she is If you yell loudly, Black Whirlwind won't hear you.
Yun Zhongyan calmed down, opened the book and saw that it was indeed a book on warfare.And after turning a few pages, it can be concluded that it was indeed written by Wu Yong, the military adviser of Liangshanbo.
Those few pages were written about several battles, some against the "official army" and some against the Jin soldiers.The tactics of how to deal with Jinbing are particularly detailed, such as how to break Jinbing's good use of mace and "kidnapping horse" and so on.
At that time, although there was no great war between the Jin and Song Dynasties, Jin soldiers invaded from time to time.It is said that the men and horses in Liangshan once fought against the Jin soldiers. Of course, this is not recorded in the "official books".But Yun Zhongyan also heard her father say it.It is said that the tactics used by Yue Fei to defeat the kidnapper of Jin Wushu were developed from Liangshan's tactics.
Yun Zhongyan doesn't know the art of war, but she also knows that this art of war is better than any treasure in the world to her father.She thought in her heart: "With this military book, it will be easier to destroy the Kingdom of Jin!"
The pine branches were about to burn, so Yun Zhongyan quickly put away the Art of War, hid it in her bosom, hurried out of the cave, climbed to the top, looked up, and saw the sun rising, it was already the morning of the next day.
Yun Zhongyan suddenly remembered that she and Hei Xuanfeng had made an appointment to meet at Hutouyan at dawn. "Are you going to see him?" She didn't want to give Hei Xuanfeng the Art of War, but she didn't want to miss the appointment. "He believes in me so much, how can I be dishonest. But do you want me to lie to him, saying that I haven't found this art of war? Oh, how dare I lie to a person who believes in me so much? Well, there is no need to go See him!"
I thought so in my heart, but my feet walked the same way.Suddenly Hei Xuanfeng shouted: "Miss Yun, Miss Yun, where are you?"
It turned out that she had approached Hutouyan unknowingly.
Yun Zhongyan thought about it, and scolded herself: "What's wrong with me today? I can't make up my mind about a trivial matter! Why do I have to meet him and explain to him? Am I still afraid that he will hate me? Let him hate you if you hate me!" All right!"
Hei Xuanfeng couldn't find this Art of War, he returned to the original place early in the morning to wait for Yun Zhongyan.
The sun rises, and the morning breeze moves the forest.In the depths of the woods, Hei Xuanfeng suddenly saw white clothes like snow faintly, and half of a happy and angry smiling face appeared behind an ancient pine!
Hei Xuanfeng was surprised and delighted, jumped up and shouted, "So you are hiding here playing hide-and-seek with me! Have you found the Art of War? Don't be kidding, come out!"
Yun Zhongyan chuckled, and said: "Whoever made fun of you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Hei Xuanfeng hurried over and shouted: "Hey, hey! This is not a joke, have you found that Art of War?"
Yun Zhongyan said: "Why are you in such a hurry? Well, let me tell you the truth, I found it, how is it?"
She was running while talking.Hei Xuanfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted: "If you find it, give it to me quickly! It's better than lightness kung fu, and it won't be too late in the future."
Yun Zhongyan smiled and said, "I found it, why did I give it to you?"
Hei Xuanfeng was taken aback, and shouted: "Didn't we agree?"
Yun Zhongyan said: "Who told you? You just asked me to help you find this Art of War, you didn't say that I would find it and hand it over to you!"
After thinking about it, Hei Xuanfeng really didn't say such a thing to her, so he became anxious and shouted: "I'm going to give it to the leader of the rebel army, stop joking, okay?"
Yun Zhongyan said: "You are really long-winded, do you want me to tell you a second time, I am not joking with you!" As he spoke, the soles of his feet seemed to be oiled, and he ran even faster.
Hei Xuanfeng chased and shouted: "I'm not kidding, what do you want this art of war for?"
Yun Zhongyan said with a smile: "Didn't you say that the rarer something is, the more interesting it is if you steal it? I want to keep this Art of War for fun, and maybe I will give it to you if I get tired of it. Just wait patiently! "
The laughter rings like a silver bell, Yun Zhongyan is really like a swallow passing through the clouds, she has already gone far.
Hei Xuanfeng's martial arts may be slightly better than hers, but his lightness skills are not as good as hers.Knowing that she couldn't catch up, she couldn't help feeling sad, and said in her heart: "Oops, no, this time is really terrible! I want to test her origin, but now that I have tested her, I have lost this art of war! Tell me Why face to see Chief Lu and Big Brother Chen?"
But he was still unwilling to believe the facts in front of him, and he comforted himself in his heart: "I'm afraid she is still joking with me seriously, to make me anxious? Maybe she will return it to me in two days. She once helped me Stealing Wanyan Changzhi's military plan, how could he be a golden man?"
Yun Zhongyan's shadow was no longer visible, but her pretty face with a sly smile appeared in Hei Xuanfeng's mind, Hei Xuanfeng couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "You made me feel so miserable, you made such a big joke, Now you have Coke!" Thinking again: "I hope it's really a joke, if it's not, alas—" Thinking of this point, I couldn't help shivering, and didn't dare to think about it any more.I thought: "Who is she? I really can't figure it out!"
Yun Zhongyan went down the mountain with a smile, but her heart was not as happy as Hei Xuanfeng imagined.
When she looked back and couldn't see the black whirlwind, her smile turned into a wry smile.
She was holding the box containing the Art of War, and it was strange to say that the ecstasy when she first got it has now disappeared, and there is no sense of joy in her heart.
She knew that she had won this book of war, but lost a friend. From now on, Hei Xuanfeng would never joke with her again, and could only treat her as an enemy!
Between gains and losses, which is more important?She couldn't answer, she just felt at a loss in her heart.
A light cloud envelops the water, and several rows of autumn geese fly south.Yun Zhongyan seemed to be affected by the autumn in front of her eyes, feeling bleak and homesick, thinking: "There is nothing interesting in the Central Plains, I'd better go home and see my father."
As he was feeling lost and walking alone, he suddenly heard someone shout: "Are you Yun Zhongyan?"
Yun Zhongyan was startled awake by the thunderclap, looked up, and saw a burly man standing in front of her.Beside the water pool were reeds that were taller than a human head. The man walked out of the reeds just when she was so distracted that she didn't even notice.
Yun Zhongyan was feeling very angry, and thought: "Let's use your black charcoal head for entertainment." Then he sneered: "So what?"
The man shouted: "What is the box in your hand? Is it Wu Yong's military book? Let me put it down, or I can let you go there!"
As soon as this remark came out, Yun Zhongyan couldn't help but startled, thinking: "Wouldn't you think that this reckless man also knows Wu Yong's art of war?"
While thinking about it, the man shouted again: "Do you want to fight with me? Hmph, I know you have some skills, but I don't even bother to fight with your mother."
Yun Zhongyan raised the box and said: "Okay, take it!" Suddenly she poked her finger, and under the cover of the sandalwood box, the fingers of her right hand stretched out from under the box.Yiyu clicked on this reckless man's pockmarked point, making him unable to move for twelve hours.
Yun Zhongyan didn't pay much attention to this black man at first, but he was a little more cautious because he could tell Wu Yong's art of war.She tapped acupuncture points with her own technique, but also used such a cunning method, thinking that this reckless man must follow her way.
Unexpectedly, although this man seemed reckless, his skills were extraordinary.There was only a "click", and the man grabbed it with one hand, and five small holes were opened in the sandalwood box!This is because he was afraid that he would lose his military skills, so he didn't dare to use all his strength.
Although Yun Zhongyan's acupoint tapping skills are exquisite, but seeing that the opponent's powerful eagle claws are so powerful, he was afraid that he would break his wrist bones before touching his acupoints, so he quickly withdrew his hands, and with a "thin chest cleverly turning the clouds", he turned upside down A few feet away.
那汉子抓不着她，也是不禁吃了一惊，心道：“吓，好快的身法！看来这云中燕确是名不虚传，我不能看轻她了。”
云中燕虽然没有给他抓着，但藏书的匣子给他抓裂，总是输了一招。她是个从来不肯吃亏的脾气，唰的便拔出剑来，说道：“黑炭头，亮出兵刃吧。打得过我，匣子给你。”
那汉子早已扑上前来，大怒道：“哼，你这妖女敢捉弄我，我本来不屑和娘儿打架的，今天可是要破戒了！我何须用什么兵器，你尽管刺来吧！”
声到人到，双臂箕张，左臂长拳捣出，右手向她抓去。一拳一抓，全带劲风，势道的凌厉，实是非同小可！
云中燕知他拳脚的功夫了得，焉能让他近身搏斗。一个移形换位，剑如飞凤，立即斜刺他的左胁。
那汉子陡地一声大喝，双掌齐推，掌力激荡，隐隐挟着风雷之声，云中燕的剑尖竟然给他荡歪。云中燕吃了一惊，心道：“这黑汉子的内功之强，竟似还在黑旋风之上。打下去未必胜得过他，不如走吧。”
不料这黑汉子竟似知道她的心意，喝道：“小妖女，你想走可是不成！”七步之外，连环掌发，强劲的掌风震得云中燕脚步踉跄！
以云中燕的轻功，本来要走也不难的。但对方的劈空掌实在太过厉害，她若转身一走，背后全无防御，只怕纵然能够逃跑，也是非得受点伤不可了。
云中燕一来是恐怕受伤，二来也咽不下这口气，冷笑道：“你以为我当真怕你不成，看剑！”
再度交锋，剑掌争雄，云中燕的剑法奇诡无比，往往从那汉子意想不到的方位刺来。那汉子的招数相形见绌，可是他却胜在内力雄浑，拳打掌劈，宛如巨斧开山，铁锤凿石，云中燕剑法精妙，却也近不得他的身子，总是给他迫得离身八尺开外。还幸亏那汉子也要防她奇诡的剑法乘虚而入，亦是不敢太过迫近。
剑掌争雄，各有千秋。那黑汉子杀得性起，高呼酣斗，一掌接着一掌，刚猛无伦。掌力催紧，势如排山倒海，荡得云中燕剑光流散，身子亦是飘摇不定。好像一叶轻舟在狂涛骇浪中挣扎一般。
云中燕使出了绕身游斗的战术，俨如惊鸿掠水，柳絮轻飏。虽是涛惊波紧，她仍是进退自如。不过，究竟吃亏在气力不及对方，数十招一过，剑法与身法的配合，已是不及初时的妙到毫巅，渐渐感到有点力不从心了。
幸亏那汉子对她奇诡莫测的剑法也有点儿顾忌，只怕稍有不慎，就要给她乘虚而入。云中燕给他迫得离身八尺开外，他也不敢太过躁进，双方各有顾忌的情形之下，云中燕这才能够勉强和他扳成平手。
雾散云开，阳光普照，芦叶滩头，蓼花汀畔，水色山光，伊似画图，在阳光之下，都豁然显露了。云中燕是一大清早下山的，不知不觉已是将近中午的时分了。
云中燕瞿然一省，心里想道：“再打下去，只怕黑旋风就要追来了。这黑汉子我已是胜他不了，怎能再加上一个黑旋风？嗯，三十六着，还是走为上着吧！可是怎样才能摆脱这黑汉子呢？”
那黑汉子似乎知道她的心意，双掌盘旋飞舞，攻得越来越紧，喝道：“你不把这部兵法交出来，就想走吗？哼，你走到天边，我追到天边！”
云中燕心里想道：“只要我能跑出百步开外，你要追也是追不上的了。”可是问题就在于：怎样才能摆脱对方，跑出百步开外呢？那汉子的劈空掌力十分厉害，云中燕只怕未跑出十步之外，就给他在背后来一记劈空掌，逃得脱也要受伤了。
激斗中那汉子一抓抓来，云中燕横剑一封，左手提的那个匣子几乎给那汉子夺去。云中燕蓦地得了个主意，心道“有了”，当下使出一套绵密的防身剑法，逐步后退，边战边走，到了水泊旁边，忽地身形一个盘旋，冷笑说道：“好，给你这部兵法！”冷笑声中，把手一扬，那个藏着兵书的檀香匣子已是给她抛在水泊之中！
这一下大出那个汉子意料之外，他怔了一怔，抢兵书呢？还是追云中燕呢？眼看那只匣子已是荡到波心，再不抢救，就来不及了！这汉子无暇思量，“卜通”一声，就跳下水去。
幸亏水泊不比江河，水流平缓，那黑汉子也还粗通水性，匣子在水面载浮载沉，他游出十数丈之遥，终于把那只檀香匣子抓到手中。
可是打开来一看，里面却哪里有什么兵法？
（羽生按：宋江事见宋史张叔夜传：“叔夜再知海州，宋江起河朔，转略十郡，官兵莫敢撄其锋，声言将至，叔夜使间者觇所向，贼径趋海滨，劫钜舟十余，截虏获。于是募死士得千人，设伏近城，而出轻兵距海诱之战，先匿壮卒海旁，伺兵合，举火焚其舟，贼闻之，皆无斗志，擒其副贼，江乃降。”这是“官书”，自然要为官军粉饰，诋毁梁山义军，夸大官军战功，但即使是“官书”，也不能不承认“宋江起河朔，转略十郡，官兵莫敢撄其锋”的事实。其中说卢俊义“副贼”受擒“江乃降”，大概是可信的史实。不过，稗官野史所说宋江受招安之后，“征四寇”〔以方腊为首〕的事却是假的。此事见宋史侯蒙传：“宋江寇京东，蒙上书，言宋江以三十六人，横行齐魏，官军数万，无敢抗者。今青溪盗起，不若赦江，使讨方腊以自赎。帝曰蒙居外不忘君，忠臣也。命知东平府，未至而卒。”〔方腊，睦州青溪人。“青溪盗”即指方腊〕是则赦宋江以讨方腊，不过侯蒙曾有此议，并未实行也。）
