Chapter 13 The thirteenth chapter became loyal and honest
Shi Potian has been staring at Min Rou in a daze, full of doubts.With tears in her eyes, Min Rou said with a smile: "Silly boy, you...don't you recognize Dad and Mom?" She opened her arms and hugged him in her arms.Ever since Shi Potian knew about human affairs, no one has ever pitied him so much, his heart was full of passion, he didn't know what to say, after a while, he said: "He... Is the owner of Shizhuang my father? I don't know. But... But...you are not my mother, I am looking for my mother."
When Min Rou heard that he didn't recognize her, her heart ached, she almost shed tears again, and said: "Poor child, it's no wonder you... after so many years, you don't even recognize your father and mother. When you left Xuansuzhuang, the top of your head only reached your mother's heart, but now you are taller than your father. Your appearance has indeed changed a lot. That night in the earth temple, if your parents hadn't got it Knowing that you have been captured by Bai Wanjian, at first glance, I will not recognize you no matter what."
Shi Potian became more and more surprised when he heard it, but his mother's face was swollen and her figure was much shorter than Min Rou, how could she admit her mistake?He murmured: "Mrs. Shi, you have identified the wrong person, I... I... I am not your son!"
Min Rou turned her head to Shi Qing, couldn't help but burst into tears, and tremblingly said: "Brother, look at this child..."
As soon as Shi Qing heard that Shi Potian denied his parents, he calculated to himself: "This child is very scheming. He must have deep meaning in denying his parents. Could it be that he caused a catastrophe in Lingxiao City, committed crimes in the Changle Gang, and became notorious Are you afraid of being punished by us? Are you afraid that your parents will be involved?" Then he asked: "Then are you the leader of the Changle Gang?"
Shi Potian said: "Everyone says I am the leader of the Shi Gang, but I am not. Everyone has misunderstood me." Shi Qing said, "Then what is your name?" Shi Potian looked confused and said, "I really don't know. ; my mother called me 'bastard'."
Shi Qing and his wife looked at each other, and saw that Shi Potian was speaking sincerely, and it didn't seem like he was deliberately deceiving.Shi Qing winked at his wife, and the two walked more than ten steps away.Shi Qing whispered: "Is this child Yu'er? We only found out that Yu'er became the leader of the Changle Gang, but how can the leader of a gang be so stupid?" Min Rou choked up and said, "Yu'er left I have been with my parents for more than ten years, the child is old, and his body and appearance are ever-changing, but...but...I believe he is my son." Shi Qing pondered: "You have no doubts in your heart?" Min Rou said: "There is doubt, but somehow I believe him...he is our child. For what reason, I can't say."
Shi Qing suddenly thought of something, and said: "Ah, yes, junior sister, the day that bitch killed you..."
This is the lifelong hatred of his and his wife, and they never forget it, but neither of them wants to mention it. Shi Qing only talked about it, and stopped talking about it.Min Rou woke up immediately and said: "That's right, I'll talk to him." Walking to a big rock, sat down, waved to Shi Potian, and said: "Son, come here, I have something to say."
Shi Potian walked up to her, and Min Rou pointed to the big stone, asking him to sit by her side, and said, "Son, not long after you turned one year old, a female thief came to kill your mother. Your father is not at home, your mother just gave birth Your brother is not yet full moon, so he doesn't have the strength to fight that female thief. That female thief is very evil, not only will she kill your mother, but she will also kill you and your brother."
Shi Potian was startled and said, "Did I get killed?" Then he laughed and said, "I'm so confused, of course I didn't get killed."
Min Rou didn't smile, and continued: "Mom is holding you with her left hand, and she is supporting you with her sword in her right hand. That female thief is very skilled in martial arts, and your father just came back at a critical moment. The female thief sent out three money darts, Mom threw two of them into the air, but the third one hit your little ass. Mom was so anxious that she fainted. The female thief ran away when she saw your father. Unexpectedly, she was really cruel and ran away At that time, he took your younger brother away. Your father was busy saving me, but he was afraid that she would secretly ambush me and take the opportunity to harm me, so he didn't dare to chase me far away. Thinking about that female thief...that female thief would not be real. To kill his son, you just took the baby away to scare him. But on the third day, the female thief actually sent back your brother's body, with two daggers stuck in her heart. One is a black sword , a white sword, and your father and mother's names are engraved on the sword..." At this point, tears flowed like rain.
Shi Potian was also filled with righteous indignation when he heard it, and said angrily: "This female thief is really hateful. A little child knows nothing, but she also murdered him. Otherwise, I have a younger brother, wouldn't it be good? Mrs. Shi, my mother will not let you know about this matter." Never told me that."
Min Rou wept and said: "Son, have you really forgotten your own mother? I... I am your mother."
Shi Potian stared at her face, shook his head slowly, and said: "No, you have mistaken the person."
Min Rou said: "The female thief used a money dart to hit your left thigh with a dart that day. Although you are old, the dart mark will never fade away. Take off your little coat and have a look." Shi Potian said: " I...I..." I remembered that I had the tooth marks bitten by Ding Dang on my shoulder, and the six snowflake sword marks stabbed by "Master Liao" of the Snow Mountain School on my legs. But it stays on the skin clearly. The reason for this is really puzzling.Mrs. Shi said that she had scars from golden darts on her bismuth buttocks, but she might not know if she really had the dart marks.He stretched out his hand through the clothes to touch his left buttock, but he didn't seem to be able to feel any scars, but there were two precedents, so he couldn't help being startled, with an uncertain expression on his face.
Min Rou smiled and said, "I'm your biological mother. I don't know how many shitty diapers I've changed for you. Why are you afraid of being ugly? Well, show your father." Then she turned around and walked away a few steps . , Shi Qing said: "Son, take off your pants and take a look for yourself."
Shi Potian stretched out his hand and felt through the clothes again, and felt that there was no scar, so he untied his trouser belt, took off his trousers, and looked back, only to see a scar about an inch long on his left buttock, which was a faint scar. Not obvious.For a moment, he was terrified in his heart, he felt that the world was spinning, as if he suddenly became another person, but he didn't know it at all, and when he was extremely frightened, he couldn't help crying loudly.
Min Rou hurriedly turned around.Shi Qing nodded to her, saying, "He is indeed Yu'er."
Min Rou was both happy and sad, rushed to his side, wrapped him in her arms, wept and said: "Yu'er, Yu'er, don't be afraid, big things will happen, and you will be determined by your father and mother."
Shi Potian cried: "I can't remember anything about the past. I didn't know you were my mother, I didn't know he was my father, I didn't know there was such a scar on my buttocks. I don't know, nothing. Know……"
Shi Qing said: "Where did you learn this profound inner strength?" Shi Potian shook his head and said, "I don't know." Who taught you?" Shi Potian was shocked: "No one taught me... What's wrong with me? I'm confused. Am I really Shi Potian? The leader of Shi Gang? Shi... Shi... My surname is Shi, yes Your son?" He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he grabbed the top of his trousers with both hands, afraid that the trousers would fall, but he forgot to fasten his trouser belt.
Shi Qing and his wife saw him frightened into such a state, Min Rou was full of pity, she couldn't help stroking the top of his head, and said softly: "Yu'er, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Putting his heart aside, he pondered: "I have seen people who have been hit hard on the head, or after being seriously ill, completely forget the past. I heard that it is called 'soul-leaving disease', and it is extremely difficult to cure and recover. Could it be...Could it be that Yu'er also suffers from this disease?" He didn't dare to mention the thoughts in his mind to his wife for a while, but Min Rou was also thinking about the scene like this.The couple looked at me and I looked at you, and blurted out at the same time: "Department of the soul!"
Shi Qing knew that if a person suffering from this kind of disease is pressed, his illness will be aggravated, so he can only be teased and induced, and slowly help him recover his memory, so he said kindly: "It is a great joy that we are reunited today, my son. , you must be hungry, let's go ahead and buy some wine and food."
Shi Potian was still out of his mind, and asked: "I... who am I?"
Min Rou reached out to fold the waist of his trousers for him, put on the belt, and said softly: "Baby, have you ever fallen hard and hurt your head? Did you hit someone and hurt your head?" Already?" Shi Potian shook his head and said: "No, no!" Min Rou asked again: "Then, have you ever been seriously ill in these years? Have you had a high fever?"
Shi Potian said: "Yes! A few months ago, I had a fever all over my body, as if someone was roasting in a big stove, and then I felt cold all over again. That day... that day, I passed out in the barren mountain, and I have been suffering from nothing since then. I no longer know."
Shi Qing and Min Rou found out the source of his illness, they were overjoyed and relieved at the same time.Min Rou said slowly: "Baby, you don't have to be afraid, you had a severe fever that time, you have forgotten everything from the past, and you will remember it slowly."
Shi Potian was dubious, and asked: "Then you are really my mother, Shi... the owner of Shizhuang is my father?" Min Rou said: "Yes, my son, your father and I have been looking for you everywhere, God pity you, let us be a family of three, The flesh and blood are reunited. You... why don't you call me Daddy?" Shi Potian was convinced that Min Rou would never lie to him, and he didn't have a father in the first place, so he hesitated for a while and called out to Shi Qing: "Daddy!" Shi Qing agreed with a smile, Said: "Your name is mother."
It would be much harder for him to call Min Rou his mother.He remembered clearly that his mother's appearance was completely different from Min Rou's. When her mother left a few years ago, her hair was already gray and she was by no means black hair like Min Rou's. Just scolding and beating, how could Min Rou be so gentle and kind?But seeing Min Rou's face full of anticipation, after waiting for a while, she didn't hear him yelling, her eyes were full.Red, can't help but feel unbearable, whispered: "Mom!"
Min Rou was overjoyed, stretched out her arms to hold him in her arms, and shouted: "Good boy, good son!" Tears rolled down my face.
Shi Qing's eyes were also a little moist, thinking: Based on what this child has done in Lingxiao City and Changle Gang, he really deserves to die, how can he be called a "good boy, good son"?I just thought that he was sick, and it was inconvenient for a while, and I thought that "the prodigal son will not change his money when he returns", and he will teach him a lesson in the future, maybe there will be a chance to repent, and he wanted to keep him away from his parents since he was a child. , only Xuan Su is a hero with two swords and a hero for a lifetime, but giving birth to such a son embarrasses the world.For a moment, thoughts surged like a tide, both joyful and remorseful.
Seeing her husband's expression, Min Rou understood what was on his mind, and was afraid that he would question her son's mistakes, so she said: "Brother Qing, Yu'er, I'm very hungry, let's find something to eat quickly." With a whistle, the black and white horses ran away come over.Min Rou smiled and said: "Boy, you ride this white horse with Mom." Seeing that his wife had seldom been as happy as she is today in more than ten years, Shi Qing smiled slightly and jumped on the black horse.Shi Potian and Min Rou shared the white horse and galloped along the road.
Shi Potian was full of doubts: "Is she really my mother? Then the mother who raised me since childhood, isn't it my mother?"
Three people rode in two, and after traveling for several miles, they saw a small temple beside the road.Min Ju said: "Let's go to the temple to pay homage to the Bodhisattva." He dismounted and walked into the temple gate.Shi Qing and Shi Potian also followed into the temple.Shi Qingsu knew that his wife never believed in gods and Buddhas, but he saw her walking into the Buddhist hall and kowtowing in front of a Tathagata Buddha statue.He turned his head and glanced at Shi Potian, and a feeling of gratitude suddenly surged in his heart: "Although this child is unworthy and misbehaving, I actually love him more than my own life. If someone wants to hurt him, I would rather die than protect him." Zhou Quan. Today we are reunited with our father and son, God Bodhisattva, you have treated me Shi Qing with great kindness." Knees bent, and he also kowtowed his head.
Shi Potian stood aside, only to hear Min Rou whispering blessings: "Buddha Tathagata bless, protect my son from illness. He was ignorant when he was young, and all the sins he committed will be resisted by his mother's body, and all punishments will be taken by him." I have to bear it for my mother. I am willing to accept it without hesitation, and I only hope that my son will be a new man in the future, and his life will be free from disasters and difficulties, and he will be safe and happy."
Min Rou's prayer voice was extremely low, only his lips moved slightly, but Shi Potian's internal strength was strong, his eyesight and hearing were clear, and he naturally surpassed ordinary people. My blood was surging, and I thought to myself: "If she wasn't my own mother, how could she treat me so well? I have been refusing to call her 'Mom', I am really confused." Excited, I rushed forward and hugged her hugged her, and cried, "Mom! Mom! You are really my mother."
His previous address was out of reluctance, why couldn't Min Rou hear it?Only then did he hear the cry in his heart, and hugged him back, shouting: "My poor child!"
Shi Potian thought of the mother who lived with him in the barren mountains for more than ten years. Although he was not good to him, the mother and son had been dependent on each other for many years, and they could not let go. He couldn't help asking: "Then what about my old mother? Could it be... Could it be that she lied to me?" Min Rou stroked his hair lightly, and said: "You tell mother what happened to that mother in the past." Shi Potian said: "She... her hair is a little gray. She doesn't Knowing martial arts, she often gets angry by herself, sometimes stares at me, and often beats and scolds me." Min Rou said: "She said it was your mother, and she also called you 'baby'?" Shi Potian said: "No, she called me a 'dog' Bastard'!"
Both Shi Qing and Min Rou's hearts moved: "This woman is called Yu'er, a 'dog bastard', and she really hates us and my wife. Could it be... Could it be that woman?" The skin is very fair, the appearance is very beautiful, there is a dimple on the face when you smile, isn't it?" Shi Potian shook his head and said: "No, my mother's face is fat, a little yellow, a little dark, very ugly. She has a straight face and rarely smiles. What are the dimples?"
Min Rou breathed out, and said: "So it wasn't her. Baby, in the Earth Temple that night, Mom's sword tip accidentally stabbed you, how did you hurt?" Shi Potian said: "The injury is very light, how long did it take?" The sky will be fine." Min Rou asked again: "How did you escape Bai Wanjian's hand? Our child. It's really amazing, even Qihan Northwest can't hold him." The last two words were said to Shi Qing , I am quite proud of the words.Shi Qing and Nei Wanjian fought more than a thousand moves in the earth temple, and they really admired his swordsmanship. Hearing what his wife said, he agreed with him from the bottom of his heart, and said: "Don't praise the child too much, be careful not to spoil him .”
Shi Potian said: "I didn't escape by myself, it was Grandpa Ding Busan and Ding Ding Dangdang who rescued me." When Shi Qing and his wife heard Ding Busan's name, they were all stunned and hurriedly asked what happened.It's a long story, Shi Potian now has a lot to say about how Ding Busan and Ding Dang rescued each other, why Ding Busan wanted to kill him, how Ding Dang taught him how to capture the hand, how to throw him out of the boat, etc. up.
When Min Rou asked about the past, Shi Potian had no choice but to talk about how he worshiped the world with Ding Dang, how he was captured by Bai Wanjian in the chief rudder of the Changle Gang, and how he met Granny Shi and Axiu in the Yangtze River, and how he couldn't get along with Ding. Four martial arts competitions, how did Granny Shi accept him as the chief disciple of the Golden Crow Sect on Ziyan Island, how did she see the corpse boat of the Flying Fish Gang, how did she make a sworn brotherhood with Zhang San and Li Si, until she made a big fuss at the Tiecha Club and strayed into the Shangqing Temple.When he met these strange people, he was always in a daze and didn't understand the reason. At this time, he couldn't help but get confused, but Shi Qing and Min Rou cross-examined each item, and finally understood nine out of ten.The couple became more and more surprised, and their hearts became more and more heavy.
Shi Qing asked how he came to Changle Gang.Shi Potian then recounted how he practiced the kung fu of catching sparrows on the Motian Cliff, and how he was gifted silver by Min Rou outside the biscuit shop, how he saw Xie Yanke snatching his couple's black and white swords, and how he brought Xie Yanke a pair of black and white swords. high mountains.The couple never expected that the filthy little beggar that Hou Jianji saw back then was his own son, and when Min Rou recalled how this little beggar was reduced, he felt sad again.
Shi Qing thought: "According to the time calculation, when we met in Hou Jianji, it was just this child who escaped from Lingxiao City not long ago. How could Geng Wanzhong and the others not recognize him?" Thinking of this, he carefully looked at Shi Zhongyu's face.The appearance of the little beggar I saw at the Hou Jianji back then is very vague in my memory. I only remember his clothes were ragged and his face was covered with mud. , maybe they deliberately smeared some mud, so that Geng Wanzhong and the others did not know each other. My husband and wife have been separated from him for many years, and the child has become so fast that I can’t recognize him even more." Asked: "That day outside the sesame seed shop When you see Uncle Geng Wanzhong and the others, are you afraid?"
Min Rou didn't want her husband to bring up the matter of the Snow Mountain Sect, but since she had mentioned it, she couldn't stop her, so she frowned slightly, fearing that Shi Qing would sternly interrogate Ai'er, but she heard Shi Potian say: "Geng Wanzhong? They are really me. Martial uncle? At that time I didn’t know that they were going to arrest me, so I was naturally not afraid.” Shi Qing said: “At that time you didn’t know that they were going to catch you? You...you didn’t know that Geng Wanzhong was your martial uncle?” Shi Potian shook his head and said, “I don’t know !"
Seeing a dark cloud over her husband's face, Min Rou knew that he was very angry, so she forced herself to restrain herself, and said, "Boy, is there no fault in anyone? Knowing the fault can make it right, there is nothing good about it. What has been done in the past has been done. You can only try to make up for it, your parents love you more than your life, you don't have to hide it, tell your parents all the reasons. How does Master Feng treat you?" Shi Potian asked: "Master Feng, which one is you? "He (I must have heard Feng Wanli's name mentioned by his parents and Bai Wanjian in that land temple), and said: "Is it Feng Wanli, the dragon of Fenghuo? I heard you mention it, but I have never seen him." Shi Qing and his wife glanced at each other, and Shi Qing asked again: "Where's Grandpa Bai? He has a very bad temper, isn't he?" Shi Potian shook his head and said, "I don't know any Grandpa Bai, I've never seen one before." Shi Qing , Min Rou then asked about the things in the Snow Mountain School in Lingxiao City, but Shi Potian didn't know anything about it.
Min Rou said: "Senior brother, this illness started from then." Shi Qing nodded and remained silent.The two of them already knew each other well: "He escaped from Lingxiao City. If he didn't hit his head under the snow-capped mountains, he was so frightened that he forgot all the old things. He said that he was in Motianya and Changle There is a cold and fever in the gang, but the real root of the disease was planted a few years ago."
Min Rou asked him about his childhood, and Shi Potian talked about it, but how he hunted and caught birds in the barren hills, how he took Ah Huang to roam, and couldn't ask why. It seemed that from his birth to his teens In between, there is only a blank space.
Shi Qingdao: "Yu'er, there is one thing that is very important, it has a great relationship with your life and death. How much of the Xueshan sect's martial arts have you learned?" They practiced swords and remembered something in their minds. Are they very angry? Is it because of this that they want to kill me? Dad, that master Bai insisted that I am a disciple of the Xueshan School. I don’t know why. But I really have the Xueshan Sword Art on my legs The scars left behind, alas!"
Shi Qing said to his wife: "Junior Sister, I'll try his sword skills again." Pulling out his long sword, he said: "You can use the snow mountain sword skills you have learned to challenge your father, and you must not hide it."
Min Rou handed her long sword into Shi Potian's hands, and smiled at him, expressing encouragement.Shi Qing thrust out the sword slowly, Shi Potian raised his sword to block it, using the "Shuo Feng Sudden Rising" move in the Snow Mountain Sword Art, the sword move is specious and full of flaws.
Shi Qing frowned slightly, he didn't meet his long sword, and then changed his move, saying: "Just keep moving!" Shi Potian said: "Yes!" He slashed the sword obliquely, but it used the sword as a knife, more like a golden crow Knife skills are obviously not sword skills.Shi Qing stabbed with the long sword, he became more and more tense, he thought: "No matter how clever this kid is, he will never be able to hide his martial arts from me. When a person is facing the critical moment of life and death, he must not fake his sword skills." Stab him in the vitals.Shi Potian was a little flustered, and naturally he used the sword as a knife and used the Golden Crow Saber technique as he did when Chongxu and Quanxu were fighting each other.Shi Qing's sword was like the wind, the more he used it, the faster it was.
Shi Potian knew that this was a trial move with his father, when he used the Golden Crow Saber Technique, the sword had no internal strength, so if he didn't use any moves, it would lose all its power.If Shi Qing's opponent is not his own son, if he really wants to kill him, he can penetrate his chest with a sword in the eleventh move, and even cut off half of his head with a horizontal sword in the twenty-third move.In the twenty-eighth move, Shi Potian opened his door even more, revealing flaws in his chest, lower abdomen, left shoulder, and right leg at the same time.Shi Qing glanced at his wife, shook his head, and pointed his long sword straight into the palace, pointing at Shi Potian's lower abdomen.
Shi Potian was flustered, swinging his saber to block, there was a sound, the long sword in Shi Qing's hand immediately flew away, his chest was congested, and he couldn't breathe, he immediately stepped back four or five steps, almost unable to stand still.Shi Potian exclaimed: "Father! You... What are you doing?" Throwing down the long sword, he rushed forward to help him.Shi Qing felt dizzy for a while, quickly held his breath, and waved his hands to order him not to approach.It turned out that Shi Potian fought with others, and the poison in his body was naturally released by internal force.Fortunately, Shi Qing knew the inside story in advance, so he did not inhale the poison, so he did not pass out from the poison, but he was also dizzy after being attacked by the poisonous gas.
Min Rou cared about her husband, stepped forward to support her, turned her head to Shi Potian and said, "Daddy tried your martial arts, why are you so indifferent?" Shi Potian was very frightened, and said, "Daddy, it's...it's my fault You... are you not injured?"
Seeing that his concern was so genuine, Shi Qing was very relieved, smiled slightly, took a breath, and said: "It's nothing, Junior Sister, you don't have to blame Yu'er, he really didn't learn the sword technique of the Snow Mountain School, if He is really able to send and receive, and he will never be rude to me. This kid is really strong internally, and there are not many people in the martial arts world who can match him."
Min Rou knows that her husband has always given little approval to ordinary martial arts scholars, and hearing him praise Ai'er so much, she couldn't help but beam with joy, and said: "But he is too unfamiliar with martial arts, so please be my father to teach him." Shi Qing smiled and said: "" You taught him a long time ago in that earth temple, it seems that a strict father is not as good as a loving mother when teaching a naughty son." Min Rou smiled sweetly and said: "Both father and son must be hungry, let's go eat."
The three went to a town for dinner.While Min Rou was overjoyed, she made an exception and ate an extra bowl. After dinner, we went to the remote mountain col.Shi Qing then told his son the essence of the sword technique.Shi Potian has personally trained masters for several months, and has comprehended a lot in the way of martial arts. Now, with the guidance of a great expert like Shi Qing, he suddenly understood it.Although Granny Shi accepted him as an apprentice, she didn't have much time to get along with her, she broke up with him after teaching seventy-three moves of the Golden Crow Saber, and she didn't have time to give him detailed instructions like Shi Qing.What's more, Granny Shi seems to be only interested in restraining the Xueshan School's sword technique, and has no other desires.Unlike Shi Qing, what he taught was the principles of martial arts in weapons, fists and kicks. Shi Qing and his wife took turns fighting with him, and when they saw the flaws in his moves, they would point them out at any time, which was much simpler and faster than Min Rou's silent teaching in the Earth Temple.When Shi Potian encountered any doubts, he immediately asked them.After listening to his question, Shi Qing and his wife didn't even understand the most superficial principles in martial arts. After explaining it in detail, they couldn't help being extremely annoyed that Yu Xueshan sect was so stingy and secretive, and treated Ai'er so badly. Shi Potian has a long internal energy, from noon to night, he devoted himself to learning swordsmanship, but he didn't feel tired at all, after practicing for a long time, his face didn't turn red, and he couldn't breathe.Shi Qing and his wife took turns feeding him moves, but everyone was sweating profusely from exhaustion.After seven or eight days of teaching in this way, Shi Potian made rapid progress, and he understood a lot about the sword skills of the Shangqingguan school taught by his parents.Shi and his wife are very well-informed, they know a lot about the martial arts of various schools in the martial arts, Shi Potian has learned a lot from following his mentors, and he has learned a lot about how to treat people and things without knowing it. During these six or seven days, whenever Shi Qing and his wife were eating or resting, they always teased him to tell about the past, hoping to help him recover his memory.But Shi Potian only remembers clearly the deeds after the chief rudder of the Changle gang woke up from a serious illness. Even the details of small things can be described clearly. , Then stare blankly do not know what is right. In the afternoon of this day, after eating, the three of them sat and chatted under the willow tree where they practice sword every day.Min Rou picked up a twig, wrote the words "black and white" on the ground, and asked, "Yu'er, do you remember these words?" Shi Potian shook his head and said, "I don't know how to read." Shi Qing and his wife were shocked, when the child left home, Min Rou had already taught him more than a thousand characters, Tang poems and so on were already catchy.How can you say the sentence "I don't know how to read" at this moment? The four characters "black and white are distinct" were written on the large plaque in the middle of the hall of Xuansuzhuang. It was written by a famous martial arts master.When Shi Potian was four years old, Min Rou held him in her arms, pointed to the big plaque, and taught him these four characters, Shi Potian recognized them immediately, and both Shi Qing and his wife praised him as smart.Now she writes these four characters, hoping that he can remember the past, but who knows that he has even forgotten the characters he knew when he was four years old, so he used a branch to write the character "one" on the ground, She smiled and asked: "Do you still remember this word?" Shi Potian said: "I don't know any words, no one taught me." Shi Qing said: "Yu'er, go over there and rest." Shi Potian agreed, but he picked up his long sword and went to practice sword moves by himself. Shi Qing persuaded his wife: "Junior Sister, Yu'er's illness is not serious, and it can't be cured overnight." He paused, and then said: "Besides, even if he forgets everything about the past, it's not the beginning. It's a good thing. This kid used to be frivolous and jumpy, but now he's a little...a bit distracted, but he's much more stable and solid, and he's learned martial arts very quickly, and his comprehension is also high. He has made great progress." Min Rou thought her husband's words were right, Immediately, sadness turned to joy, and I thought: "What's the point of being illiterate? At most, I'll start teaching it again, that's all." Thinking of the joy of teaching children back then, I couldn't help but feel tenderness in my heart. Although the child has grown up now, but In her heart, her son was still innocent and naive, the more confused and ignorant he was, the more lovable and lovely he was. Shi Qing suddenly said: "There is one thing that I really don't understand. This child's disease of leaving the soul was obviously acquired when he left Lingxiao City. Later, he suffered from a fever, which only made his illness worse. But... …But……" Min Rou heard her husband's words seemed to contain deep worry, she couldn't help worrying, and asked, "What did you think of?" Shi Qingdao: "Yu'er doesn't know a single word in thesis, and she doesn't know much about martial arts. It's just that she has deep internal strength. When it comes to experience and strategy, she doesn't even have it. The big gang, they made a lot of money in 1989, how can they..." Min Rou nodded and said: "Yes, how can we entrust a kid like him to be the gang leader?" Shi Qing pondered and said: "That day we heard about Lu Dong Sanxiong in Xuzhou that the founding leader of the Changle Clan was named 'Kuai Ma' Situ Heng, who was originally the leader of the horse bandits in Liaodong. Bei Haishi, the deputy's 'hands-on to Chengchun', is very good. For some reason, the leader of the gang was replaced by a young boy, Shi Potian. Lu Dong Sanxiong said that the young leader of the Changle gang was greedy for money, lustful, deceitful, and powerful in martial arts. No one knew his origin, but Hua Wanzi, a female disciple of the Xueshan School, later recognized him as Shi Zhongyu, an abandoned disciple of the school. Gao Qiang', these eight-character comments really don't fit him." Min Rou frowned, and said: "At that time we thought that although Yu'er was young, she was very scheming, and if her martial arts were really strong, it would not be a miracle to be a gang leader, so there was no doubt at that time, only how to save each other, so as not to He was poisoned by the Xueshan faction. But he looks like this..." After contemplating for a moment, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Senior brother, there must be a major conspiracy in it. Think about what a shrewd and capable character Dr. Bei is in 'Starting Chengchun'..." Said When I got here, my heart became frightened, and my voice trembled. With his hands behind his back, Shi Qing paced and circled under the willow tree, muttering incessantly, "Call him the leader, why? Why?" , all in line with the festival, but this matter is too terrible, but dare not say it.He turned to the seventh circle and glanced at Min Rou, only to see that her eyes were also shooting at him.The two looked at each other, and there was a look of extreme horror in their eyes.The couple stared blankly at each other for a moment, then suddenly said in unison: "Reward the good and punish the evil!" The two spoke these words so loudly that Shi Potian heard it from a distance, approached him, and asked, "Father, Mom, what is the meaning of 'rewarding the good and punishing the evil'? I heard from Tie Cha." People have mentioned it, and the priests of Shangqing Temple have also mentioned it several times." Shi Qing didn't answer his question immediately, but asked instead: "When Zhang San and Li Si became sworn brothers with you, did they know that you were the leader of the Changle Clan?" Qing said again: "How did they feel when they bet with you on poisoned wine? Tell me more about it." Shi Potian wondered, "Is that poisoned wine? Why didn't I get poisoned?" How will we meet now? Zhang San and Li Si explained in detail how to eat meat and drink alcohol. Shi Qing waited for him to finish speaking, pondered for a while, and then said: "Yu'er, there is one thing that needs to be explained to you. Fortunately, I can ask you at this moment, so you don't need to panic." After a pause, he continued. : "Thirty years ago, the leaders of many big factions and gangs in the martial arts world suddenly received invitations one after another, inviting them to go to the Knights Island in the South China Sea to drink Laba porridge on the eighth day of December." Shi Potian nodded and said: "That's right, everyone was very scared when they heard 'Go to Xiake Island to drink Laba porridge'. I don't know why? Is Laba porridge poisonous?" Shi Qing said: "Then no one will know. The leaders of these big sects and gangs received the bronze medal invitation..." Shi Potian interrupted and asked: "The bronze medal invitation? Is it the two bronze medals?" Shi Qing said: "Yes, It is the two bronze medals you once took from Master Zhaoxu. One is engraved with a smiling face, which means 'rewarding kindness'; the other has an angry face, which is 'punishing evil' .The bronze medals were delivered by two teenagers, one fat and one thin." Shi Potian said: "Young man?" He had already guessed that it was Zhang San and Li Si, but he said that it was not a young man. Shi Qingdao: "That happened thirty years ago, and the two of them were teenagers at the time. The leaders of the sects and gangs received the bronze medal invitations, and asked who the host was, and the two messengers said, the guests arrived. On the island, he naturally knew; he also said that if the person who received the request went as promised, nothing would happen, otherwise his sect or gang would inevitably face disaster, so he asked at that time: "Are you going or not?" The person who received the invitation for the bronze medal was Daoist Xu Shan, the head of Kongtong in Liangzhou. With a long smile, he held the two bronze medals in his hand and used his internal force to melt the two bronze medals into two balls of scrap copper. This was originally With Zhenshuo's unique internal strength at that time, he had hoped that these two arrogant young men would retreat in the face of difficulties. Unexpectedly, just as he smashed the bronze medal, these two young men suddenly struck him with four palms on his chest, immediately knocking the Xiliang martial artist away. The leader of the Communist Party is killed!" Shi Potian let out an "ah" and said, "The attack is so vicious!" Shi Qingdao: "The Kongtong faction naturally attacked together. At that time, the martial arts of these two young men had not yet reached the peak level they later achieved. They snatched two long swords, killed three masters, and then fled. Kongtong How powerful is the Dong faction, and how famous is Taoist Xushan, he was murdered by two unknown teenagers at his door and escaped unscathed. This incident spread widely in the martial arts world within half a month. The old security guard Diao is having a big banquet to celebrate his 60th birthday. There are many guests here. These two young men arrived unexpectedly and handed over the bronze medal. A group of congratulators were already discussing this matter. Upon seeing it, Aroused public indignation, everyone stepped forward to besiege, but unexpectedly let the two teenagers escape calmly. "Three days later, more than 30 people in the Bawang Escort Bureau, from under the old Escort head Diao, all of them died, except for the old and the weak, women and children. On the gate of the Escort Bureau, there were two bronze medals , there is also a notice written in large characters, claiming that Diao Lao Escort killed the Bao family by pretending to be a thief a year ago and embezzled 500,000 bodyguard silver. Punish evil', I don't know if it's true or not. Later, Kongtong sent Taoist priest Qingkong, the younger brother of Taoist priest Xushan, to take over as the head. He wanted to avenge his senior brother, so he found the two boys, one fat and one thin, and asked for a bronze medal I went to Xiake Island to drink Laba porridge, but after I went there, I never came back, probably because I didn’t get my revenge, and I sent my life to Xiake Island.” Shi Potian sighed, and said: "The first two bronze medals I saw were on the hatch of the dead body boat of the Flying Fish Gang. Unexpectedly...unexpectedly, this is actually a invitation post from King Yama." Shi Qingdao: "As soon as this matter spread, everyone wanted to invite Master Miaodi, the head of the Shaolin School, to take the lead in dealing with it. Who would have thought that when we arrived at the Shaolin Temple, the monks in the temple said that the Abbot Master had traveled abroad and had not returned, and he faltered in his words, saying it was too late. It's not true. Everyone went to Wudang Mountain to find the head of the Wudang school, Yucha Taoist priest. Unexpectedly, the Taoists of the Zhenwu Temple all had sad faces and said that the head had gone out of the temple. After thinking about it, they guessed that these two people in the martial arts world The top masters suddenly disappeared at the same time. If they hadn't been poisoned by the envoys of the Knights Island, they would have been hiding to avoid disaster. At that moment, the elders of Mount Wutai and Taoist Kubai of the Kunlun School came together to invite all the major players in the martial arts world. The head of the sect discussed the countermeasures, and at the same time scouted around to check the whereabouts of the two envoys. But the two envoys were elusive, and when the other party was prepared, they could not be found anywhere. They got out of nowhere, and passed these two soul arresting cards. These two people are also good at using poison. Elder Rabbit and Taoist Kubai immediately destroyed the bronze medal after receiving it. It was nothing at the time. He contracted a serious disease and died. After thinking about it, everyone realized that Elder Rare Book and Taoist Kubai were too skilled in martial arts. The two envoys who rewarded the good and punished the evil knew that they could not beat them with martial arts alone, let alone shake the two great factions of Wutai and Kunlun. , then put poison on the bronze medal, Elder Rare Book and Taoist Kubai touched their hands with poison, and finally died of poison." Shi Potian was terrified when he heard this, and said: "My righteous brothers Zhang San and Li Si, could it be... are they such vicious people? Why are they making trouble with these many sects?" Shi Qing shook his head and said: "For thirty years, no one has been able to fully understand this important event. Abbot Miaodi of the Shaolin School and the head of the Wudang School of Tea Tea were missing. After many years, the news finally leaked one after another. These two masters are indeed for Xia Ke Dao invited them. They fought fiercely outside Shaolin Temple for seven days and seven nights, but they didn't make a move on Wudang Mountain. Most likely, the tea priest would miss when he drew his sword. This monk and his martial arts are so high that there are few rivals in the rivers and lakes. In addition to the Taoist Xushan of Kongtong, the old escort of Yuzhou Diao, the rare book master of the Wutai School, and the Kubai Taoist of the Kunlun School, four of them were murdered one after another. After receiving the bronze invitation card, someone promised to drink Laba porridge. The two messengers said: "It is a great honor for you to allow me to visit Knight Island. Please meet me at a certain place on a certain day in a certain month. At that time, someone will come to welcome you on board." During this year, there were 14 people who were killed by the two of them as the head of the sect and the head of the gang, and thirty-seven people were invited to the banquet. But thirty-seven people It’s been thirty years since I left without a trace, and there’s no news about it.” Shi Potian said: "Where is the Island of Knights in the South China Sea? Why don't you invite people to rescue the thirty-seven people?" Shi Qingdao: "I asked all the helmsmen who are experienced in navigating about the word "Xia Ke Island", but no one has heard of it. It seems that there is probably no such island, but those two young people are just talking nonsense. One year passed, and everyone gradually forgot about it except for the dozens of children and relatives who suffered from the disaster. Unexpectedly, after ten years, the two bronze medal invitations appeared again. "At this time, the martial arts of the two envoys had advanced greatly. In just over ten days, they completely killed the three sects and two big gangs who refused to attend the banquet. Hundreds of people from top to bottom. There was a stir in the crowd, so the third elder of the Emei Sect came forward and invited more than 30 masters to lie in ambush in the main rudder of the Henan Red Spear Association, waiting for the arrival of the two murderers. Unexpectedly, the two envoys avoided it Even though he did not enter the border of Henan province, the bronze medals were still distributed everywhere after he entered the Red Spear Club. As long as the leader who received the bronze medal agreed to attend the meeting, his sect would be safe, otherwise no matter how well-prepared he was, he would always be attacked Violent hands. "That year, the head of the Black Dragon Gang's Sha Gang also received the bronze medal. He agreed at the time, but secretly notified the Red Spear Club of the time and place of boarding the ship. The thirty or so masters rushed there at that time, somehow leaked the news, and arrived There was no one to greet him. "The people waited for several days, but one by one they were poisoned and died. The rest of the people became frightened and dispersed immediately. Before they got home, they heard the news from the road. These people were either killed on the way, or the whole gang had died He was punished by others. This way, no one dared to resist. After receiving the bronze medal, he went there as ordered. In this year, a total of forty-eight people went to Xiake Island by boat, but they all went without a trace. Audio. That is truly a catastrophe in the martial arts world, it is terrifying to think about!" Shi Potian wanted to believe it or not, but Feiyu Gang helped the dead bodies fill the boat, and all the members of the Tiecha Society were wiped out, but he witnessed it with his own eyes. People are accomplices, thinking about it, I shudder. Shi Qing said again: "Ten years ago, Jiangxi Promise Gate first received the invitation card for the bronze medal. A year earlier, the leaders of the various sects and guilds had already negotiated and agreed, and everyone held the plan of 'If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's cub'?" , decided to go to the Knights Island to find out what happened, and everyone worked together to get rid of this public enemy in the martial arts. Therefore, wherever the bronze medal went this year, no one was injured, and a total of 53 people received it. Fifty-three people came to the meeting when the invitation was received. Some of these fifty-three heroes were outstanding in martial arts, and some were extremely resourceful, but after they left, they disappeared without a trace and were never heard from again. All the martial arts elites are emptied of everything. The warriors in the world are helpless, and they can only be slaughtered once every ten years. I have a deep-seated view of the Qing Dynasty, and I have never ostentatiously in the arena. Your parents' martial arts came from above. Qingguan, you are a layman, but you only use the name of Xuansuzhuang. Although your masters and uncles are high in martial arts, they rarely fight with others. Others only say that Qingguan is just a group of people who cultivate their nature and do not know martial arts. It's just a Taoist..." Shi Potian asked: "Is that afraid of the Knight Island?" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Shi Qing's face, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "All the masters and uncles are all Taoist priests who are aloof from the world and have become monks. They didn't admire the fame of this martial arts at first. It’s not bad to be afraid of the Knights Island. In the martial arts world, no matter how many people you are, you are a powerful faction with high martial arts skills. Who doesn’t frown when you mention the word “Xiaker Island”? Unexpectedly Even if you hide your strength and bide your time like this, you still cannot escape this calamity." He said with a long sigh. Shi Potian asked again: "Father and mother want to be the head of Shangqingguan together, and want to investigate the reality of Xiake Island. None of the three batches of capable people in the past can come back. I'm afraid this matter will be very difficult." Shi Qing said: "Difficulty is of course extremely difficult. But we have always taken it as our duty to help danger and solve difficulties. What's more, when things happen to our teacher, how can we stand still? Your mother and I are thinking, is it true that God is so blind Let the wicked run rampant? Your parents' martial arts are of course not as good as Miaodi and Yucha's masters. The key to Knight Island has been leaked." When he said this, he and his wife looked at each other, and they both thought: "The reason why we are willing to sacrifice our lives to do this important thing is actually because of you. You are treacherous and adulterous, and you are guilty of deceiving your master. You are no longer tolerated in the martial arts. My husband and wife I have no face to see my friends in Jianghu. The two of us went to Xiake Island. If we failed, we would have lost our lives. If you can make a great contribution to Wulin Wendao, everyone will forgive you, and you will not be held accountable for your crimes. "But there is no need to tell Shi Potian clearly about the painstaking efforts for his son. Shi Potian pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "My righteous brothers Zhang San and Li Si are the envoys sent by Xia Ke Island to distribute the bronze medals?" Shi Qing said: "There is no doubt about it." Why are you willing to sworn brothers with me?" Shi Qing laughed dumbly, and said: "At that time, your stupid words entangled them with no excuses. What's more, what they swore were all false oaths, so they can't be true." Shi Potianqi Said: "Why is it a false oath?" Shi Qing said: "Zhang San and Li Si are fake names. They say that I am Zhang San and Li Si, and my names are all fake. Naturally, no matter what I say, it is fake. Already." Shi Potian said: "So that's how it is!" Thinking of the fact that the two righteous brothers would bully each other, he couldn't help feeling unhappy; but thinking that this may not be the case as Dad expected, maybe they are really called Zhang San and Li Si. Said: "The next time I see them, I have to ask them clearly." 闵柔一直默不作声，这时忙插嘴道：“玉儿，下次再见到这二人可千万要小心了。这二人杀人不眨眼，明斗不胜，就行暗算，偷袭不得，便使毒药，实是凶狠阴毒到了极处。” 石清道：“玉儿，你要记住娘的话。别说你如此忠厚老实，就是比你机灵百倍之人，遇上了这两个使者也难逃毒手。说到防范，那是防不胜防的。下次一见到他二人，立刻便使杀招，先下手为强，纵使只杀得一人，那也为武林中除去一个大害，造无穷之福。”石破天迟疑道：“我们是拜把子兄弟，他们是我大哥、二哥，可杀不得的。” 石清叹了口气，回思儿子与张三、李四结义，以及在铁叉会巾的经历，只觉他轻生重义，实是豪杰行径，又想他对义兄重情重义，颇合侠义之道，虽然用在张三、李四身上，未免迂腐，但宁可人负我、不可我负人，正是英雄本色，若非如此，不免是无耻小人了，便微笑点头，意示赞许。 闵柔笑道：“师哥，连你也说玉儿忠厚老实。咱们的孩儿当真变乖了，是不是？” 石清点了点头，道：“他确是变得忠厚老实了，正因如此，便有人利用他来挡灾解难。玉儿，你可知长乐帮群雄奉你为帮主，到底是什么用意？” 石破天原非蠢笨，只幼时和母亲僻处荒山，少年时又和谢烟客共居于摩天崖，两人均极少和他说话，是以于世务人情一窍不通。此刻听石清一番讲述，登时省悟，失声道：“他们奉我为帮主，莫非……莫非是要我做替死鬼？” 石清叹了口气，道：“本来嘛，真相尚未大明之前，无凭无据，原不该以小人之心，妄自度测江湖上的英雄好汉。但若非如此，长乐帮中英冰济济，怎能奉你这不通世务的少年为帮主？推想起来，长乐帮近年好生兴旺，帮中首脑算来侠客岛的铜牌请柬又届重现之期，这一次长乐帮定会接到请柬，他们事先便物色好一个和他们无甚渊源之人来做帮主，事到临头之际，便由这个人来挡过这一劫。” 石破天心下茫然，实难相信人心竟如此险恶。但父亲的推想合情合理，却不由得不信。 闵柔也道：“孩子，长乐帮在江湖上名声甚坏，虽非无恶不作，但行凶伤人，恃强抢劫之事，着实做了不少，尤其不禁淫戒，更为武林中所不齿。帮中的舵主香主大多不是好人，他们安排了一个圈套给你钻，那半点也不稀奇。” 石清“哼”了一声，道：“要找个外人来做帮主，玉儿原是挺合适的人选。他忘了往事，于江湖上的风波险恶又浑浑噩噩，全然不解。不过他们万万没料想到，这个小帮主竟是玄素庄石清、闵柔的儿子。这个如意算盘，打起来也未必如意得很呢。”说到这里，手按剑柄，遥望东方，那正是长乐帮总舵的所在。 闵柔道：“咱们既识穿了他们的奸谋，那就不用担心，好在玉儿尚未接到铜牌请柬。师哥，眼下该当怎么办？”石清微一沉吟，道：“咱三人自须到长乐帮去，将这件事揭穿了。这些人老羞成怒，难免动武，咱三人寡不敌众；再则也得有几位武林中知名之士在旁做个见证，以免他们曰后再对玉儿纠缠不清。”闵柔道：“江南松江府银戟杨光杨大哥交游广阔，又是咱们至交，不妨由他出面，广邀同道，同到长乐帮去拜山。”石清喜道：“此计大佳。江南一带武林朋友，总还得买我夫妻这个小小面子。” 他夫妇在武林中人缘极好，二十年来仗义疏财，扶难解困，只有他夫妇去帮人家的忙，从来不求人做过什么事，一旦需人相助，自必登高一呼，从者云集。
The three went to a town for dinner.While Min Rou was overjoyed, she made an exception and ate an extra bowl. After dinner, we went to the remote mountain col.Shi Qing then told his son the essence of the sword technique.Shi Potian has personally trained masters for several months, and has comprehended a lot in the way of martial arts. Now, with the guidance of a great expert like Shi Qing, he suddenly understood it.Although Granny Shi accepted him as an apprentice, she didn't have much time to get along with her, she broke up with him after teaching seventy-three moves of the Golden Crow Saber, and she didn't have time to give him detailed instructions like Shi Qing.What's more, Granny Shi seems to be only interested in restraining the Xueshan School's sword technique, and has no other desires.Unlike Shi Qing, what he taught was the principles of martial arts in weapons, fists and kicks. Shi Qing and his wife took turns fighting with him, and when they saw the flaws in his moves, they would point them out at any time, which was much simpler and faster than Min Rou's silent teaching in the Earth Temple.When Shi Potian encountered any doubts, he immediately asked them.After listening to his question, Shi Qing and his wife didn't even understand the most superficial principles in martial arts. After explaining it in detail, they couldn't help being extremely annoyed that Yu Xueshan sect was so stingy and secretive, and treated Ai'er so badly. Shi Potian has a long internal energy, from noon to night, he devoted himself to learning swordsmanship, but he didn't feel tired at all, after practicing for a long time, his face didn't turn red, and he couldn't breathe.Shi Qing and his wife took turns feeding him moves, but everyone was sweating profusely from exhaustion.After seven or eight days of teaching in this way, Shi Potian made rapid progress, and he understood a lot about the sword skills of the Shangqingguan school taught by his parents.Shi and his wife are very well-informed, they know a lot about the martial arts of various schools in the martial arts, Shi Potian has learned a lot from following his mentors, and he has learned a lot about how to treat people and things without knowing it. During these six or seven days, whenever Shi Qing and his wife were eating or resting, they always teased him to tell about the past, hoping to help him recover his memory.But Shi Potian only remembers clearly the deeds after the chief rudder of the Changle gang woke up from a serious illness. Even the details of small things can be described clearly. , Then stare blankly do not know what is right. In the afternoon of this day, after eating, the three of them sat and chatted under the willow tree where they practice sword every day.Min Rou picked up a twig, wrote the words "black and white" on the ground, and asked, "Yu'er, do you remember these words?" Shi Potian shook his head and said, "I don't know how to read." Shi Qing and his wife were shocked, when the child left home, Min Rou had already taught him more than a thousand characters, Tang poems and so on were already catchy.How can you say the sentence "I don't know how to read" at this moment? The four characters "black and white are distinct" were written on the large plaque in the middle of the hall of Xuansuzhuang. It was written by a famous martial arts master.When Shi Potian was four years old, Min Rou held him in her arms, pointed to the big plaque, and taught him these four characters, Shi Potian recognized them immediately, and both Shi Qing and his wife praised him as smart.Now she writes these four characters, hoping that he can remember the past, but who knows that he has even forgotten the characters he knew when he was four years old, so he used a branch to write the character "one" on the ground, She smiled and asked: "Do you still remember this word?" Shi Potian said: "I don't know any words, no one taught me." Shi Qing said: "Yu'er, go over there and rest." Shi Potian agreed, but he picked up his long sword and went to practice sword moves by himself. Shi Qing persuaded his wife: "Junior Sister, Yu'er's illness is not serious, and it can't be cured overnight." He paused, and then said: "Besides, even if he forgets everything about the past, it's not the beginning. It's a good thing. This kid used to be frivolous and jumpy, but now he's a little...a bit distracted, but he's much more stable and solid, and he's learned martial arts very quickly, and his comprehension is also high. He has made great progress." Min Rou thought her husband's words were right, Immediately, sadness turned to joy, and I thought: "What's the point of being illiterate? At most, I'll start teaching it again, that's all." Thinking of the joy of teaching children back then, I couldn't help but feel tenderness in my heart. Although the child has grown up now, but In her heart, her son was still innocent and naive, the more confused and ignorant he was, the more lovable and lovely he was. Shi Qing suddenly said: "There is one thing that I really don't understand. This child's disease of leaving the soul was obviously acquired when he left Lingxiao City. Later, he suffered from a fever, which only made his illness worse. But... …But……" Min Rou heard her husband's words seemed to contain deep worry, she couldn't help worrying, and asked, "What did you think of?" Shi Qingdao: "Yu'er doesn't know a single word in thesis, and she doesn't know much about martial arts. It's just that she has deep internal strength. When it comes to experience and strategy, she doesn't even have it. The big gang, they made a lot of money in 1989, how can they..." Min Rou nodded and said: "Yes, how can we entrust a kid like him to be the gang leader?" Shi Qing pondered and said: "That day we heard about Lu Dong Sanxiong in Xuzhou that the founding leader of the Changle Clan was named 'Kuai Ma' Situ Heng, who was originally the leader of the horse bandits in Liaodong. Bei Haishi, the deputy's 'hands-on to Chengchun', is very good. For some reason, the leader of the gang was replaced by a young boy, Shi Potian. Lu Dong Sanxiong said that the young leader of the Changle gang was greedy for money, lustful, deceitful, and powerful in martial arts. No one knew his origin, but Hua Wanzi, a female disciple of the Xueshan School, later recognized him as Shi Zhongyu, an abandoned disciple of the school. Gao Qiang', these eight-character comments really don't fit him." Min Rou frowned, and said: "At that time we thought that although Yu'er was young, she was very scheming, and if her martial arts were really strong, it would not be a miracle to be a gang leader, so there was no doubt at that time, only how to save each other, so as not to He was poisoned by the Xueshan faction. But he looks like this..." After contemplating for a moment, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Senior brother, there must be a major conspiracy in it. Think about what a shrewd and capable character Dr. Bei is in 'Starting Chengchun'..." Said When I got here, my heart became frightened, and my voice trembled. With his hands behind his back, Shi Qing paced and circled under the willow tree, muttering incessantly, "Call him the leader, why? Why?" , all in line with the festival, but this matter is too terrible, but dare not say it.He turned to the seventh circle and glanced at Min Rou, only to see that her eyes were also shooting at him.The two looked at each other, and there was a look of extreme horror in their eyes.The couple stared blankly at each other for a moment, then suddenly said in unison: "Reward the good and punish the evil!" The two spoke these words so loudly that Shi Potian heard it from a distance, approached him, and asked, "Father, Mom, what is the meaning of 'rewarding the good and punishing the evil'? I heard from Tie Cha." People have mentioned it, and the priests of Shangqing Temple have also mentioned it several times." Shi Qing didn't answer his question immediately, but asked instead: "When Zhang San and Li Si became sworn brothers with you, did they know that you were the leader of the Changle Clan?" Qing said again: "How did they feel when they bet with you on poisoned wine? Tell me more about it." Shi Potian wondered, "Is that poisoned wine? Why didn't I get poisoned?" How will we meet now? Zhang San and Li Si explained in detail how to eat meat and drink alcohol. Shi Qing waited for him to finish speaking, pondered for a while, and then said: "Yu'er, there is one thing that needs to be explained to you. Fortunately, I can ask you at this moment, so you don't need to panic." After a pause, he continued. : "Thirty years ago, the leaders of many big factions and gangs in the martial arts world suddenly received invitations one after another, inviting them to go to the Knights Island in the South China Sea to drink Laba porridge on the eighth day of December." Shi Potian nodded and said: "That's right, everyone was very scared when they heard 'Go to Xiake Island to drink Laba porridge'. I don't know why? Is Laba porridge poisonous?" Shi Qing said: "Then no one will know. The leaders of these big sects and gangs received the bronze medal invitation..." Shi Potian interrupted and asked: "The bronze medal invitation? Is it the two bronze medals?" Shi Qing said: "Yes, It is the two bronze medals you once took from Master Zhaoxu. One is engraved with a smiling face, which means 'rewarding kindness'; the other has an angry face, which is 'punishing evil' .The bronze medals were delivered by two teenagers, one fat and one thin." Shi Potian said: "Young man?" He had already guessed that it was Zhang San and Li Si, but he said that it was not a young man. Shi Qingdao: "That happened thirty years ago, and the two of them were teenagers at the time. The leaders of the sects and gangs received the bronze medal invitations, and asked who the host was, and the two messengers said, the guests arrived. On the island, he naturally knew; he also said that if the person who received the request went as promised, nothing would happen, otherwise his sect or gang would inevitably face disaster, so he asked at that time: "Are you going or not?" The person who received the invitation for the bronze medal was Daoist Xu Shan, the head of Kongtong in Liangzhou. With a long smile, he held the two bronze medals in his hand and used his internal force to melt the two bronze medals into two balls of scrap copper. This was originally With Zhenshuo's unique internal strength at that time, he had hoped that these two arrogant young men would retreat in the face of difficulties. Unexpectedly, just as he smashed the bronze medal, these two young men suddenly struck him with four palms on his chest, immediately knocking the Xiliang martial artist away. The leader of the Communist Party is killed!" Shi Potian let out an "ah" and said, "The attack is so vicious!" Shi Qingdao: "The Kongtong faction naturally attacked together. At that time, the martial arts of these two young men had not yet reached the peak level they later achieved. They snatched two long swords, killed three masters, and then fled. Kongtong How powerful is the Dong faction, and how famous is Taoist Xushan, he was murdered by two unknown teenagers at his door and escaped unscathed. This incident spread widely in the martial arts world within half a month. The old security guard Diao is having a big banquet to celebrate his 60th birthday. There are many guests here. These two young men arrived unexpectedly and handed over the bronze medal. A group of congratulators were already discussing this matter. Upon seeing it, Aroused public indignation, everyone stepped forward to besiege, but unexpectedly let the two teenagers escape calmly. "Three days later, more than 30 people in the Bawang Escort Bureau, from under the old Escort head Diao, all of them died, except for the old and the weak, women and children. On the gate of the Escort Bureau, there were two bronze medals , there is also a notice written in large characters, claiming that Diao Lao Escort killed the Bao family by pretending to be a thief a year ago and embezzled 500,000 bodyguard silver. Punish evil', I don't know if it's true or not. Later, Kongtong sent Taoist priest Qingkong, the younger brother of Taoist priest Xushan, to take over as the head. He wanted to avenge his senior brother, so he found the two boys, one fat and one thin, and asked for a bronze medal I went to Xiake Island to drink Laba porridge, but after I went there, I never came back, probably because I didn’t get my revenge, and I sent my life to Xiake Island.” Shi Potian sighed, and said: "The first two bronze medals I saw were on the hatch of the dead body boat of the Flying Fish Gang. Unexpectedly...unexpectedly, this is actually a invitation post from King Yama." Shi Qingdao: "As soon as this matter spread, everyone wanted to invite Master Miaodi, the head of the Shaolin School, to take the lead in dealing with it. Who would have thought that when we arrived at the Shaolin Temple, the monks in the temple said that the Abbot Master had traveled abroad and had not returned, and he faltered in his words, saying it was too late. It's not true. Everyone went to Wudang Mountain to find the head of the Wudang school, Yucha Taoist priest. Unexpectedly, the Taoists of the Zhenwu Temple all had sad faces and said that the head had gone out of the temple. After thinking about it, they guessed that these two people in the martial arts world The top masters suddenly disappeared at the same time. If they hadn't been poisoned by the envoys of the Knights Island, they would have been hiding to avoid disaster. At that moment, the elders of Mount Wutai and Taoist Kubai of the Kunlun School came together to invite all the major players in the martial arts world. The head of the sect discussed the countermeasures, and at the same time scouted around to check the whereabouts of the two envoys. But the two envoys were elusive, and when the other party was prepared, they could not be found anywhere. They got out of nowhere, and passed these two soul arresting cards. These two people are also good at using poison. Elder Rabbit and Taoist Kubai immediately destroyed the bronze medal after receiving it. It was nothing at the time. He contracted a serious disease and died. After thinking about it, everyone realized that Elder Rare Book and Taoist Kubai were too skilled in martial arts. The two envoys who rewarded the good and punished the evil knew that they could not beat them with martial arts alone, let alone shake the two great factions of Wutai and Kunlun. , then put poison on the bronze medal, Elder Rare Book and Taoist Kubai touched their hands with poison, and finally died of poison." Shi Potian was terrified when he heard this, and said: "My righteous brothers Zhang San and Li Si, could it be... are they such vicious people? Why are they making trouble with these many sects?" Shi Qing shook his head and said: "For thirty years, no one has been able to fully understand this important event. Abbot Miaodi of the Shaolin School and the head of the Wudang School of Tea Tea were missing. After many years, the news finally leaked one after another. These two masters are indeed for Xia Ke Dao invited them. They fought fiercely outside Shaolin Temple for seven days and seven nights, but they didn't make a move on Wudang Mountain. Most likely, the tea priest would miss when he drew his sword. This monk and his martial arts are so high that there are few rivals in the rivers and lakes. In addition to the Taoist Xushan of Kongtong, the old escort of Yuzhou Diao, the rare book master of the Wutai School, and the Kubai Taoist of the Kunlun School, four of them were murdered one after another. After receiving the bronze invitation card, someone promised to drink Laba porridge. The two messengers said: "It is a great honor for you to allow me to visit Knight Island. Please meet me at a certain place on a certain day in a certain month. At that time, someone will come to welcome you on board." During this year, there were 14 people who were killed by the two of them as the head of the sect and the head of the gang, and thirty-seven people were invited to the banquet. But thirty-seven people It’s been thirty years since I left without a trace, and there’s no news about it.” Shi Potian said: "Where is the Island of Knights in the South China Sea? Why don't you invite people to rescue the thirty-seven people?" Shi Qingdao: "I asked all the helmsmen who are experienced in navigating about the word "Xia Ke Island", but no one has heard of it. It seems that there is probably no such island, but those two young people are just talking nonsense. One year passed, and everyone gradually forgot about it except for the dozens of children and relatives who suffered from the disaster. Unexpectedly, after ten years, the two bronze medal invitations appeared again. "At this time, the martial arts of the two envoys had advanced greatly. In just over ten days, they completely killed the three sects and two big gangs who refused to attend the banquet. Hundreds of people from top to bottom. There was a stir in the crowd, so the third elder of the Emei Sect came forward and invited more than 30 masters to lie in ambush in the main rudder of the Henan Red Spear Association, waiting for the arrival of the two murderers. Unexpectedly, the two envoys avoided it Even though he did not enter the border of Henan province, the bronze medals were still distributed everywhere after he entered the Red Spear Club. As long as the leader who received the bronze medal agreed to attend the meeting, his sect would be safe, otherwise no matter how well-prepared he was, he would always be attacked Violent hands. "That year, the head of the Black Dragon Gang's Sha Gang also received the bronze medal. He agreed at the time, but secretly notified the Red Spear Club of the time and place of boarding the ship. The thirty or so masters rushed there at that time, somehow leaked the news, and arrived There was no one to greet him. "The people waited for several days, but one by one they were poisoned and died. The rest of the people became frightened and dispersed immediately. Before they got home, they heard the news from the road. These people were either killed on the way, or the whole gang had died He was punished by others. This way, no one dared to resist. After receiving the bronze medal, he went there as ordered. In this year, a total of forty-eight people went to Xiake Island by boat, but they all went without a trace. Audio. That is truly a catastrophe in the martial arts world, it is terrifying to think about!" Shi Potian wanted to believe it or not, but Feiyu Gang helped the dead bodies fill the boat, and all the members of the Tiecha Society were wiped out, but he witnessed it with his own eyes. People are accomplices, thinking about it, I shudder. Shi Qing said again: "Ten years ago, Jiangxi Promise Gate first received the invitation card for the bronze medal. A year earlier, the leaders of the various sects and guilds had already negotiated and agreed, and everyone held the plan of 'If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's cub'?" , decided to go to the Knights Island to find out what happened, and everyone worked together to get rid of this public enemy in the martial arts. Therefore, wherever the bronze medal went this year, no one was injured, and a total of 53 people received it. Fifty-three people came to the meeting when the invitation was received. Some of these fifty-three heroes were outstanding in martial arts, and some were extremely resourceful, but after they left, they disappeared without a trace and were never heard from again. All the martial arts elites are emptied of everything. The warriors in the world are helpless, and they can only be slaughtered once every ten years. I have a deep-seated view of the Qing Dynasty, and I have never ostentatiously in the arena. Your parents' martial arts came from above. Qingguan, you are a layman, but you only use the name of Xuansuzhuang. Although your masters and uncles are high in martial arts, they rarely fight with others. Others only say that Qingguan is just a group of people who cultivate their nature and do not know martial arts. It's just a Taoist..." Shi Potian asked: "Is that afraid of the Knight Island?" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Shi Qing's face, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "All the masters and uncles are all Taoist priests who are aloof from the world and have become monks. They didn't admire the fame of this martial arts at first. It’s not bad to be afraid of the Knights Island. In the martial arts world, no matter how many people you are, you are a powerful faction with high martial arts skills. Who doesn’t frown when you mention the word “Xiaker Island”? Unexpectedly Even if you hide your strength and bide your time like this, you still cannot escape this calamity." He said with a long sigh. Shi Potian asked again: "Father and mother want to be the head of Shangqingguan together, and want to investigate the reality of Xiake Island. None of the three batches of capable people in the past can come back. I'm afraid this matter will be very difficult." Shi Qing said: "Difficulty is of course extremely difficult. But we have always taken it as our duty to help danger and solve difficulties. What's more, when things happen to our teacher, how can we stand still? Your mother and I are thinking, is it true that God is so blind Let the wicked run rampant? Your parents' martial arts are of course not as good as Miaodi and Yucha's masters. The key to Knight Island has been leaked." When he said this, he and his wife looked at each other, and they both thought: "The reason why we are willing to sacrifice our lives to do this important thing is actually because of you. You are treacherous and adulterous, and you are guilty of deceiving your master. You are no longer tolerated in the martial arts. My husband and wife I have no face to see my friends in Jianghu. The two of us went to Xiake Island. If we failed, we would have lost our lives. If you can make a great contribution to Wulin Wendao, everyone will forgive you, and you will not be held accountable for your crimes. "But there is no need to tell Shi Potian clearly about the painstaking efforts for his son. Shi Potian pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "My righteous brothers Zhang San and Li Si are the envoys sent by Xia Ke Island to distribute the bronze medals?" Shi Qing said: "There is no doubt about it." Why are you willing to sworn brothers with me?" Shi Qing laughed dumbly, and said: "At that time, your stupid words entangled them with no excuses. What's more, what they swore were all false oaths, so they can't be true." Shi Potianqi Said: "Why is it a false oath?" Shi Qing said: "Zhang San and Li Si are fake names. They say that I am Zhang San and Li Si, and my names are all fake. Naturally, no matter what I say, it is fake. Already." Shi Potian said: "So that's how it is!" Thinking of the fact that the two righteous brothers would bully each other, he couldn't help feeling unhappy; but thinking that this may not be the case as Dad expected, maybe they are really called Zhang San and Li Si. Said: "The next time I see them, I have to ask them clearly." 闵柔一直默不作声，这时忙插嘴道：“玉儿，下次再见到这二人可千万要小心了。这二人杀人不眨眼，明斗不胜，就行暗算，偷袭不得，便使毒药，实是凶狠阴毒到了极处。” 石清道：“玉儿，你要记住娘的话。别说你如此忠厚老实，就是比你机灵百倍之人，遇上了这两个使者也难逃毒手。说到防范，那是防不胜防的。下次一见到他二人，立刻便使杀招，先下手为强，纵使只杀得一人，那也为武林中除去一个大害，造无穷之福。”石破天迟疑道：“我们是拜把子兄弟，他们是我大哥、二哥，可杀不得的。” 石清叹了口气，回思儿子与张三、李四结义，以及在铁叉会巾的经历，只觉他轻生重义，实是豪杰行径，又想他对义兄重情重义，颇合侠义之道，虽然用在张三、李四身上，未免迂腐，但宁可人负我、不可我负人，正是英雄本色，若非如此，不免是无耻小人了，便微笑点头，意示赞许。 闵柔笑道：“师哥，连你也说玉儿忠厚老实。咱们的孩儿当真变乖了，是不是？” 石清点了点头，道：“他确是变得忠厚老实了，正因如此，便有人利用他来挡灾解难。玉儿，你可知长乐帮群雄奉你为帮主，到底是什么用意？” 石破天原非蠢笨，只幼时和母亲僻处荒山，少年时又和谢烟客共居于摩天崖，两人均极少和他说话，是以于世务人情一窍不通。此刻听石清一番讲述，登时省悟，失声道：“他们奉我为帮主，莫非……莫非是要我做替死鬼？” 石清叹了口气，道：“本来嘛，真相尚未大明之前，无凭无据，原不该以小人之心，妄自度测江湖上的英雄好汉。但若非如此，长乐帮中英冰济济，怎能奉你这不通世务的少年为帮主？推想起来，长乐帮近年好生兴旺，帮中首脑算来侠客岛的铜牌请柬又届重现之期，这一次长乐帮定会接到请柬，他们事先便物色好一个和他们无甚渊源之人来做帮主，事到临头之际，便由这个人来挡过这一劫。” 石破天心下茫然，实难相信人心竟如此险恶。但父亲的推想合情合理，却不由得不信。 闵柔也道：“孩子，长乐帮在江湖上名声甚坏，虽非无恶不作，但行凶伤人，恃强抢劫之事，着实做了不少，尤其不禁淫戒，更为武林中所不齿。帮中的舵主香主大多不是好人，他们安排了一个圈套给你钻，那半点也不稀奇。” 石清“哼”了一声，道：“要找个外人来做帮主，玉儿原是挺合适的人选。他忘了往事，于江湖上的风波险恶又浑浑噩噩，全然不解。不过他们万万没料想到，这个小帮主竟是玄素庄石清、闵柔的儿子。这个如意算盘，打起来也未必如意得很呢。”说到这里，手按剑柄，遥望东方，那正是长乐帮总舵的所在。 闵柔道：“咱们既识穿了他们的奸谋，那就不用担心，好在玉儿尚未接到铜牌请柬。师哥，眼下该当怎么办？”石清微一沉吟，道：“咱三人自须到长乐帮去，将这件事揭穿了。这些人老羞成怒，难免动武，咱三人寡不敌众；再则也得有几位武林中知名之士在旁做个见证，以免他们曰后再对玉儿纠缠不清。”闵柔道：“江南松江府银戟杨光杨大哥交游广阔，又是咱们至交，不妨由他出面，广邀同道，同到长乐帮去拜山。”石清喜道：“此计大佳。江南一带武林朋友，总还得买我夫妻这个小小面子。” 他夫妇在武林中人缘极好，二十年来仗义疏财，扶难解困，只有他夫妇去帮人家的忙，从来不求人做过什么事，一旦需人相助，自必登高一呼，从者云集。
