Chapter 23 Chapter 22 Boundaries

Outside the hall, the remaining leaves follow the wind, and the dancing shadows confuse the past.The hall is silent and fragrant, indulging in mottled fleeting years. When Ye Huan said that "The Picture of Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" actually contained the secret of the Golden Dragon Jue, not to mention Princess Yunmeng and others were horrified, even Yao Guangxiao, who was unable to host, all had a twinkle in their eyes, revealing the vicissitudes of life. The secret of the Golden Dragon Art? What is the secret of the Golden Dragon Jue? Isn't the first sentence of "Song of the Sun and Moon" a reference to the Golden Dragon Jue?Everyone is searching hard, but don't they want to solve the mystery of "Song of the Sun and Moon"?

"Golden Dragon Jue reveals that the sky is unified, the south is flat and the north is towering." The first sentence of "Song of the Sun and Moon", the meaning of "the south is as flat as the north is towering", was already known by everyone, but the meaning of the Golden Dragon Art is unknown to everyone. Why would the world be unified when the Golden Dragon Jue appeared? Could it be that this Golden Dragon Jue really has incredible power? After a long silence, Princess Yunmeng finally called out: "What is the Golden Dragon Art?" In comparison, she is undoubtedly the most impatient person.

Ye Huan smiled slightly, looked at the inability to host and said, "Actually, I know, of course the host can answer this question." Unable to host, he snorted coldly and said, "Since you know, why don't you say it outright?" Ye Huan said modestly: "What I've heard are rumors, and I can't guarantee whether they are correct. The host has experienced it before, so I will naturally explain it in more detail." Everyone felt strange, and couldn't help looking at the long eyebrows and white beard who couldn't host, as if looking at the passing years, and at the same time speculated about the identity of the host.

Unable to host, he sneered and said with a sneer: "How do you know that you want to learn more from me?" Ye Huan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Since the master doesn't want to talk too much, I don't want to be presumptuous and show my shame." , When everyone looked over, Ye Huancai said: "I want to understand... Taizu is a great talent, so I don't need to say more. But in fact, many people probably don't know that Taizu, like Liu Bowen, has the ability to predict the future !" Everyone was shocked again and looked at each other. Princess Yunmeng reprimanded: "Let you tell the secret of the Golden Dragon Jue, how did you involve Taizu?"

Ye Huan smiled, "If you want to hear the secret of the Golden Dragon Jue, you'd better listen to me. Because what I said is related to the Golden Dragon Jue—it has a lot to do with it." Princess Yunmeng was slightly stunned, although she was puzzled, she finally stopped interrupting. Ye Huan said slowly: "Back then Taizu was also a monk... This matter was mentioned in front of fellow Taoist hosts, of course there are less taboos. But if anyone dared to mention this in front of Taizu back then, they would all be killed. The end of the head." Everyone knew about this past event, Princess Yunmeng heard Ye Huan talking about Ming Taizu, she was eager to know the secret of the Golden Dragon Jue, and did not pursue Ye Huan's crime of lying.The guards had no objection when they saw the master and the princess, so naturally they would not scold Ye Huan.

Ye Huan continued: "Back then, it was said that the Taizu was jealous of his identity and wanted to build up his prestige. He was afraid that people would underestimate his origin, so he avoided medical treatment. But Taizu is so talented, how can he make a fuss about these things? If you want to be a hero, don't ask. The source is that Liu Bang, the Taizu of the Han Dynasty, was also born as a rascal, but after the great achievements of the generation, who dares to underestimate? On the contrary... more people will admire his great achievements because of the origin of the Taizu of the Han Dynasty. Ming Taizu is a man of great wisdom , how can you avoid this?"

Everyone felt that what Ye Huan said made some sense. The first time Princess Yunmeng thought of this, she felt strange, and immediately asked: "Yes, why?" Ye Huan said slowly: "Some people feel that Taizu's actions are unreasonable, and secretly speculate. But few people know that Taizu did this to cover up the fact that he saw the Golden Dragon Art when he was a monk!" Everyone was surprised and puzzled, but seeing Ye Huan finally got to the point, they listened intently, for fear of missing a word. Ye Huan's tone was mysterious, and he suddenly said: "At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when all the lords competed for the throne, the Taizu was by no means the most powerful force in the past. Thinking of Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and others, they were all outstanding for a while. , the hundred-legged worm of the Great Yuan, even though it is not dead, it should not be underestimated, but only Taizu can stand out and dominate the world, why do you say?"

Everyone was silent, but it was hard to talk about this question.At the same time, I was impatient, thinking to myself that you said the Golden Dragon Jue, why do you have to talk about these old things? Wei Tieyi opened his mouth and said: "Taizu can be like the Taizu of the Han Dynasty, who can be respectful to the corporals, know people and do them well, with the help of Liu Bowen, Song Lian and others in Wen, and the help of Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others in Wu, naturally he can rule the world." Ye Huan smiled, and asked back: "Xu Da and Chang Yuchun under the Taizu are indeed powerful generals for a while, and Liu Bowen and Song Lian are also unparalleled civil servants, but others can rule the roost and compete with the Taizu, so don't you say that those people are muddleheaded? An incompetent person? Remember Xu Shouhui back then, long before the Taizu rebelled and swung troops thousands of miles away, beating the great generals of the Yuan Dynasty to the point of losing their armor. Ming Taizu, Zhao Pusheng, Ni Wenjun, Chen Youliang and others under him can be said to be both civil and military, and they are indistinguishable at the moment; Ding Pulang, Xiang Pulue, Ou Puxiang, Chen Puwen and others are unparalleled in might and victorious in every battle..."

Wei Tieyi refused to accept, "If they are really so famous, why don't they listen to others?" Ye Huan let out a long laugh and said, "It is said that Wei Tieyi was a hero of the time for the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies. I don't want to see you today, but that's all I know." Wei Tieyi's face turned red, and he was about to draw his sword, but it could be seen that Ye Huan was still calm and composed, unable to figure out the details of his opponent, and finally did not make a move.At the same time, he was startled, wondering how Ye Huan knew his identity.

This Ye Huan seems to be a businessman, how can he be so proficient in the past, and at the same time know their origins like the back of his hand? Qiu Changfeng remained silent, as if he was thinking about something, and finally said at this moment: "Throughout the ages, the kings and conquerors, the sage Confucius wrote about the Spring and Autumn Period, and did not write about it. It's the law." Ye Huan looked at Qiu Changfeng, nodded slowly and said, "Brother Qiu's opinion is the truth. The history books of all dynasties were written by the victors, and the success of the Han Taizu made the name of the Three Heroes complete. If the overlord of Chu was the emperor back then , Cut the book and establish history, who will know the generation of Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin? The Ming Taizu won the world, and Chang Yuchun could become the number one general of the Ming Dynasty. If Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang were really called emperors, I am afraid Chang Yuchun can hardly enjoy the prestige of the number one fierce general in troubled times."

Although everyone felt that Ye Huan's words were uncomfortable, they had to admit that what he said had some truths. Ye Huan saw that the faces of the people were very different, as if he could see what they were thinking, and continued: "Let's not talk about the distance, just talk about the battle at Poyang Lake, Taizu and Chen Youliang fought fiercely on the lake, and the victory and defeat have changed several times. , Zhang Dingbian, the invincible general under Chen Youliang, repeatedly suppressed the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and even sank the big ship that the Taizu was on. When the Taizu lived and died, the Ming Dynasty almost disappeared. If the Taizu was unlucky in that battle, how could there be a Ming Dynasty? , who can pass on the praises of Liu Bowen, Song Lian, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others?" Everyone was silent, knowing that Ye Huan was talking about the crucial battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang when they fought for the world - the water battle at Poyang Lake. That battle can be said to be shocking, ghosts and gods were shocked. It has been many years since the gunpowder smoke cleared, but when Zhu's family mentioned the past, they were always worried, and they had to say it was a fluke. After the Poyang Lake water battle, Chen Youliang was finally defeated, but Zhu Yuanzhang was also seriously injured and almost died in the lake, which is evident in the tragic situation of the battle. Ye Huan looked around the crowd, and said: "But Ming Taizu was lucky and won in the end. The key to victory was that Chang Yuchun lay under the water for half a day, and suddenly the water exploded, and an arrow shot and injured Chen Youliang's number one general, Zhang Dingbian." Hearing this, the unable host suddenly twitched his cheeks, making the scars on his face even more hideous.There was a gleam in his eyes.As if aware of something, he turned his head and saw Qiu Changfeng looking away. The host sighed softly, looked at the landscape map on the wall, and murmured: "Ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains, what a ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains." . Ye Huan said: "Chang Yuchun shot Zhang Dingbian in the face with an arrow, but Zhang Dingbian was seriously injured, and he was able to injure Chang Yuchun in one fell swoop, hurting Chang Yuchun's internal organs and shifting his veins. Later, Chang Yuchun He died suddenly on the way back from the Northern Expedition. Others don't know why, but everyone in the know knows that Chang Yuchun suffered repeated injuries in the Poyang Lake water battle that year. In the Poyang Lake water battle, Zhang Dingbian was seriously injured, and he was able to protect his master and break out of the siege. Zhang Dingbian After leaving, Ming Taizu had a hard time winning. Chang Yuchun was recuperating from his injuries for nearly a year. When he was sick, he had to say with emotion, "The heroes of the world return to Huguang, and the heroes of Huguang look at Pu Lang. Even though Pu Lang is brave, he still wants to worship. Please worship me to set the border Alone and arrogant!'" Ye Huan's last few sentences were catchy and full of passion. Everyone recited those few words silently in their hearts, only feeling that the words were sonorous and powerful, and at the same time a sense of pride welled up in their hearts, and they couldn't control themselves. Only Yunmeng didn't know why, and asked, "What do these few words mean?" Ye Huan explained: "This poem says that after the battle of Poyang Lake, even Chang Yuchun couldn't help but admire. Back then, all the heroes in the world came from Huguang, that is, from the area where Xu Shouhui and Chen Youliang were. But Huguang heroes, It also depends on the faces of Zhao Pusheng, Ding Pulang, Xiang Pulue and others. It is strange to say that many of the heroes in Huguang back then had the word Pu, so the people there called them Pulang. Poyang Lake water battle, these Everyone is the backbone, killing countless warriors of the Ming Dynasty. But these Pulang are brave, but they still have to worship one person, and that person is... Zhang Dingbian, the real number one hero in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty!" When Princess Yunmeng heard these past events, she read the sentence "I beg you to be alone and arrogant", thinking of Zhang Dingbian's prestige across Poyang Lake, she couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that there are such heroes in the world. When can I see this kind of person, I will have no regrets." At the same time, he gave Qiu Changfeng a sideways glance, somewhat disdainful. Of course she felt that Qiu Changfeng was quick-witted, but he was definitely not a hero. Ye Huan suddenly cast a sideways glance at the monk, and said slowly, "Zhang Dingbian is not dead yet." The helpless monk's eyes suddenly flashed sharply, and his face became serious. Everyone was startled, Yunmeng and Wei Tieyi asked, "He's not dead, where is he?" They couldn't believe it, because from then to now, Daming has been kings for three generations, Zhang Dingbian is still alive, so it won't be a hundred years. age? Ye Huan looked away from the monk who could not, and said lightly: "How do I know?" Princess Yunmeng couldn't hide her disappointment. Qiu Changfeng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said, "Young Master Ye has said so much about the past, it's very exciting, but what exactly do you want to say?" Ye Huan's gaze fixed on Qiu Changfeng's face. Qiu Changfeng smiled, but there was a sense of probing in the smile.No matter how weird the story is, Qiu Changfeng obviously hasn't forgotten about the Golden Dragon Art. Ye Huan suddenly discovered that this person was far more unpredictable than he appeared on the surface, and this person was very persistent. No one knows Ye Huan's origin, and no one really understands Qiu Changfeng's strength. The two seem to get along peacefully on the surface, but how they really view each other is also unknown. Ye Huan finally looked away with some searching eyes, and said slowly: "After I said this, I just want to say that Zhang Shicheng has virtue and soldiers, and Xu Shouhui has literature and martial arts. In fact, they are not inferior to Ming Taizu. But they lost, not because of their strength. Not bad, but a luck. Everyone has a luck—destiny." He seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him, but when he said this, there was an indescribable sense of eerieness in his tone. Everyone saw the mystery on his face, and for some reason, their hearts trembled. destiny! Everyone has a destiny, even every plant and tree has a destiny.In the dark, people are not the luxurious and noble spirits that they claim to be, at least the world still does not understand why they come and where they are going. Everyone's fate is different, but from the perspective of later generations, everyone's fate is clear. This seems to be an unpredictable fate, but also seems to be a predetermined fate! Not only people have their destiny, but also the country has its destiny. Doesn't "Song of the Sun and Moon" refer to the destiny of the country?Cleverly thinking, Ye Huan suddenly mentioned fate. Could it be that the Golden Dragon Jue is also related to fate?Between the Golden Dragon Jue and "Song of the Sun and Moon", there is not a thread involved in the connection - the thread of fate. Everyone thought too much at that moment, but only Princess Yunmeng said loudly: "What we want to hear is about the Golden Dragon Art, please tell me quickly, okay?" Ye Huan laughed and said: "Okay, I will talk about the Golden Dragon Jue. According to legend, the Jinlong Jue is a thing that can change fate. Ming Taizu changed Xu Shouhui's fate because of getting the Jinlong Jue, so he defeated the heroes and was able to unify The world! The Golden Dragon Jue has not been seen since the Taizu ruled the world, and the secret of how to obtain the Golden Dragon Jue is hidden in this "Ten Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" that Taizu personally ordered people to paint." What he said this time was too straightforward and simple. After hearing this, Princess Yunmeng was a little confused, so she blinked her eyes and didn't know what to ask again. But many smart people have changed their faces, and even the monks are confused, as if they have fallen into the past again. When Qiu Changfeng heard this, his heart was shocked and he couldn't believe it. "The Golden Dragon Jue unifies the heavens, and the south flattens the north." This sentence originally meant this simple meaning - the Taizu got the golden dragon art that changed fate, so he was able to unify the world. Simple yet incomprehensible. Is there really something that can change destiny in this world?How is this possible? But "Song of the Sun and Moon" clearly proves that everything mentioned has happened and indeed exists.This also shows that the Golden Dragon Jue does exist and can change one's life. Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a monk, but he used the Golden Dragon Jue to change his life and become the emperor.Xu Shouhui was originally magnificent, with many capable men and fierce generals under his command, who looked like a son of heaven, but Zhu Yuanzhang used the golden dragon formula to change his fate, so he died? Change your life!What a grotesque idea.Qiu Changfeng smiled bitterly, and suddenly thought why Yao Guangxiao attached so much importance to the reappearance of "Song of the Sun and Moon". Since there is a destiny that can be changed, Zhu Yunqi may seek the Golden Dragon Jue to change his fate, change Zhu Di's fate, and change his Zhu Yunqi's fate.You can even mobilize the 100,000 demon army in destiny to regain the throne. Zhu Di was not concerned about the Japanese pirates in Japan, but he cared about the Golden Dragon Jue, so he let Yao Guangxiao wholeheartedly search for the Golden Dragon Jue. Did he also believe in this absurd legend? Princess Yunmeng finally wanted to understand something, and when she saw Yao Guangxiao's serious expression, her expression changed, but she immediately asked, "How can I change my fate?" She immediately thought of the matter of her eldest brother and second brother, and her body trembled with excitement. Ye Huan spread his palms and said with a wry smile: "How would I know? These are just legends. I'm not sure if the legends I've heard are true or not." Yao Guangxiao had been listening quietly, but suddenly said, "You're lying." Ye Huan frowned, and said after a while, "Why do fellow Taoists say that?" Yao Guangxiao turned his gaze around, looked at Ye Huan expressionlessly and said, "You believe in this... right?" Ye Huan's composure showed a disturbed expression, and he asked back, "Why do you say that, Fellow Daoist?" With a strange smile on the corner of Yao Guangxiao's mouth, he said sinisterly: "In the water battle at Poyang Lake, it was said that Liu Bowen was unaware of the prophets and told the Taizu to leave the boat, thus avoiding the shocking blow planned by Zhang Dingbian. But in fact, Liu Bowen was Not in Poyang Lake!" Ye Huan said unnaturally: "So what if he's not in Poyang Lake?" Yao Guangxiao said: "It doesn't matter where Liu Bowen was at the beginning. But Liu Bowen is not in Poyang Lake, so it is not Liu Bowen who reminded Taizu to hide. The purpose of the legendary deeds is to cover up the facts. You said from the beginning that Taizu had the ability to predict the future , In fact, I have long felt that this evasion was done by Taizu himself, because Taizu possessed the Golden Dragon Jue. Since the Golden Dragon Jue can change fate, it can of course predict fate. If this kind of Jinlong Jue really exists, I will try my best to find it. The Golden Dragon Jue must be a traitor. You came here for the Golden Dragon Jue!" Everyone was in awe, Ye Huan's gaze fell on Yao Guangxiao slightly, as if he was looking at Yao Guangxiao seriously for the first time.He suddenly discovered that the really deep person here is not the monk who can't do it, nor Qiu Changfeng, but Yao Guangxiao. Yao Guangxiao knew more than anyone else. After a long time, Ye Huan sighed: "Even if everything is as the fellow Taoist said, so what? Didn't you just say that as long as I can put your mind to rest, you won't bother me at all." Yao Guangxiao smiled with indescribable cruelty, "Yes, I will not change my words. If you can settle my concerns and find out how to find the Golden Dragon Jue from this "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", even if you have I will not do anything to you if you have the heart of treason, let alone who you are." Ye Huan's originally calm face tightened, and he asked slowly, "What if I can't find it?" Yao Guangxiao said: "Then you are bewitching the crowd with your gossip, and you will not be able to leave this hall again. Because of me..." After a pause, he said word by word: "I never believed that there would be such a thing as the Golden Dragon Art in this world!" Ye Huan finally changed his expression. The more everyone thought about it, the more bizarre it became, but hearing what Yao Guangxiao said, it was unintentional that a kill order was issued.All the guards were holding knives, as long as Yao Guangxiao gave an order, they would cut Ye Huan into pieces. Even Qiu Changfeng frowned, he knew that Yao Guangxiao had absolutely no need to intimidate. After an unknown period of time, Ye Huan suddenly laughed, leaning back and forth, laughing so hard that tears were about to flow out. Everyone really didn't understand that he was about to die, so there was nothing to be happy about.Even Princess Yunmeng knew that if Yao Guangxiao wanted someone to die in the third watch, that person would never live until dawn. Yao Guangxiao didn't ask any questions, he waited quietly for Ye Huan to stop laughing, but he didn't ask back. Ye Huan restrained his smile, with an indescribable sarcasm on his face, "I understand." Yao Guangxiao remained silent, unable to preside over and asked, "What do you understand?" Ye Huan stared at Yao Guangxiao and said, "I was still not sure, but seeing him like this today, I am finally sure, he also came for the Golden Dragon Art." Unable to host, he frowned, "Since he came here for the Golden Dragon Art, he should work together with you to find this secret, why did he say he didn't believe it, and then wanted to kill you?" Ye Huan said slowly: "Because he only wants to get the Golden Dragon Art for himself!" As soon as this remark came out, the expression of the host and all the guards changed.On the contrary, Yao Guangxiao regained his dull expression. Ye Huan didn't wait for Yao Guangxiao to open his mouth, and said again: "He has been searching for the Golden Dragon Jue for many years, how could he not believe in the Golden Dragon Jue? He knows more about what happened back then than anyone else. But he will never let others get this Because the person who got the Golden Dragon Jue can change his life and even become the emperor, he is loyal to Emperor Yongle, how can he tolerate this kind of thing happening?" Unable to host, his eyes were shining brightly, showing murderous intent, he suddenly looked at Yao Guangxiao and asked, "Is what he said true?" Yao Guangxiao remained silent, as if he had petrified at that moment. Ye Huan said coldly: "Of course what I said is true, so even if he made you the host of Jinshan Temple, as soon as you discover the Golden Dragon Art, he will kill you." Unable to preside over the sudden rise of his body, he faced Yao Guangxiao like a god. Everyone was awe-inspiring, and they couldn't help but stand in front of Yao Guangxiao.Now everyone can see that this presiding master has outstanding martial arts skills and is by no means an ordinary monk. Yao Guangxiao still didn't move, so the host stared at Yao Guangxiao, and said coldly: "Is this really the case?" At that moment, he was as murderous as a tiger, even the scars on his face were filled with red light. He was undoubtedly an all-powerful generation back then, although he is old now, his power remains unchanged. This made Wei Tieyi strange when he was vigilant, wondering why such a person should become a monk.Who is this person who dares to attack his master? Qiu Changfeng suddenly said: "What he said is true or false, you have a brain, why don't you judge for yourself?" Unable to host, he suddenly turned his head, his eyes widened, and the guards immediately drew their swords, but they were apprehensive, wondering if they could withstand the shocking blow from the monk. Ye Huan's eyes flickered with joy.He vaguely guessed who the monk was, and knew that although the monk was old, if he made a move, even though Qiu Changfeng was deep, he might not be able to catch it. As long as Qiu Changfeng can be held back by being unable to host, he can naturally leave easily. Suddenly, the helpless monk breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed.Ye Huan was slightly stunned, and before he could speak, he saw the helpless monk looking over and said, "If you're doing it for my own good, you should fight against me. But after you provoked me, you were only watching a show. It can be seen that what you just said was just trying to drag me into the water. Take advantage of the chaos and leave. What kind of person is this old man, how could he be used by you?" Ye Huan's smile froze, and he said after a while: "Since he wants to attack me, he just doesn't want to reveal the secret of the Golden Dragon Art. After he kills me, he may attack you. If you are not fair for me, I will be able to deal with it later." Help you, but if you do nothing, I will not be spared, and there will be no one to help you at that time." The helpless monk suddenly laughed and said, "Why does the old man need your help?" As soon as he said this, the old monk who was already dormant suddenly had the air of an invincible general. Anyone who sees the monk's spirit can't help but feel the heart beat faster, and feels that the monk is by no means arrogant, but truly has boundless self-confidence. Seeing this, Ye Huan was also speechless for a while, but his eyes kept rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The monk suddenly smiled slyly, and said again: "In fact, the old man also wants to see if a person will be able to understand the secret of the Golden Dragon Jue before he dies. What's more, if you understand the mystery of "The Picture of Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" , and won’t die, why should I rush to make a move?” Ye Huan was surprised, and Qiu Changfeng had a smile on his face. For the first time, he felt that this monk was not only brave and invincible, but also mentally as good as others. Yao Guangxiao acted as if he was fine, just looked at Ye Huan and said, "I've finished talking, I've laughed too. I'll give you an hour..." Looking back at Qiu Changfeng, he said, "Before sunset, if he can't participate The secret of this painting, in the name of deceiving the public, will be punished on the spot!" After all, Yao Guangxiao sat aside, closed his eyes, and never looked at Ye Huan again. Ye Huan's expression changed, and he glanced at Qiu Changfeng, seeing the awe-inspiring look on that pale face, his heart sank. At this time, the sun was westward, and although it was still dazzling, it somewhat seemed to be twilight. The autumn wind was bleak, blowing into the hall, there was an indescribable chill. Everyone looked at Ye Huan as if they were looking at a dead person.This "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" has been in Jinshan for more than 20 years. With Yao Guangxiao and his inability to preside over it, he still can't understand the mystery of it. What ability does Ye Huan have to find out the golden dragon formula in this hour? secret? Ye Huan looked around, with sweat dripping from his forehead, and said bitterly, "I'm so hot that I'm in a cocoon." Although everyone expressed sympathy, who would dare to refute him under the instructions of the master?At the same time, everyone was also curious. Since the Golden Dragon Jue of the Heart Path is extremely secret, how does Ye Huan know about it? Ye Huan let out a long sigh, finally knowing that Yao Guangxiao's words had not changed, and time was running out, so he didn't say much, his eyes fell on the painting. Time flies, seeing the sun sinking little by little, while Ye Huan's heart is hanging, Princess Yunmeng is a little impatient. She knew that no matter what, she couldn't figure out the secret of the Jiangshan map, so she simply didn't want to.Seeing that Ye Huan looked bored like a pile, he turned his gaze and landed on Ye Yuhe. Ye Yuhe was outside the hall, looking at the vast river. The main hall of Jinshan Temple is built on the mountainside, leaning on the railing, you can see the big river flowing eastward like a belt.The waves are rolling, singing about the ups and downs of the world, the joys and sorrows. There were many twists and turns in the hall, narrating shocking past events and turbulent events, but even the inconceivable Golden Dragon Art, the great ambition to rule the world, seemed unable to attract Ye Yuhe's attention, she just looked at the torrential river, as if she was thinking about something. Princess Yunmeng thought of something suddenly. Seeing that Ye Huan was still frowning in thought, she might not gain anything before being beheaded, so she walked lightly to Ye Yuhe's side, and said in a low voice, "Sister Ye?" Ye Yuhe was originally a vigilant person, but for some reason, she didn't notice Princess Yunmeng's arrival at all.Hearing Princess Yunmeng's call, he came back to his senses and asked in a daze, "Princess, what's wrong?" At this time, the sun will sink into the river, and the afterglow of the setting sun falls on Ye Yuhe's body and face, with a golden-red color, at a glance, it seems to be bathed in golden brilliance. But even if the golden light was shining, it seemed that it couldn't illuminate Ye Yuhe's face.She has something on her mind—a very serious thing, but it is usually covered up by indifference. Princess Yunmeng suddenly discovered that she had only seen Ye Yuhe's strong martial arts and lightning-like swordsmanship all the time, but other than that, she had never noticed this woman who looked like an orchid in an empty valley, a lotus in a rainy night, and the femur in her femur. Anxiety. Why is Ye Yuhe worried? The thought just flashed by, Princess Yunmeng didn't think too much, and asked, "Why don't you go to the palace?" Ye Yuhe said: "Why should I go to the palace?" Princess Yunmeng was startled, but was actually stopped by Ye Yuhe. "Song of the Sun and Moon" leads to the Golden Dragon Jue, even the emperor is startled, the crown prince, the King of Han, the prime minister in black, Jin Yiwei, the governor's mansion of the five armies, and the cabinet are all involved. Attracted, he wanted to find out the secret of the Golden Dragon Jue. But it wasn't until now that Yunmeng realized that there were also many people who didn't care about Jinlong Jue.Ye Yuhe is undoubtedly one of them. Princess Yunmeng came back to her senses, changed the subject and said, "Then... what were you thinking just now?" Ye Yuhe hesitated for a while, and said, "I don't think about anything." Princess Yunmeng is also a woman, knowing that when a woman said that, she was thinking about something she didn't want others to know, her eyes rolled slightly, and she suddenly said, "Are you thinking about Qiu Changfeng?" Ye Yuhe was slightly shocked, she didn't look at Princess Yunmeng, but said calmly: "Why do you say that?" Princess Yunmeng asked without answering, "What do you think of Qiu Changfeng?" Ye Yuhe looked at the boundless river, eyes hazy with Jiang Qi, "What about him, what does it matter to me?" Touching the purse under the skirt of his hand, there was still a small hard object there - it was a cicada. Princess Yunmeng looked at Ye Yuhe's face, and said softly: "Although he is a little bad-tempered, a little arrogant, and a little indifferent to people, he is actually quite a good person." She tried her best to think about the advantages of Qiu Changfeng in her mind, but Princess Yunmeng suddenly found that she couldn't find it anywhere.She had to rack her brains and said, "He actually looks good. Look at his eyes, they are not too small, and his nose is quite straight. His face..." Although he thought in his heart, it was always the same as his dead father, Still praised in his mouth: "His face is quite white." On the contrary, Ye Yuhe was a little surprised, as if hearing Tathagata praising Hades, she didn't know why Princess Yunmeng said good things about Qiu Changfeng. Princess Yunmeng said again: "He is not a small official, Jinyiwei has a thousand households, rank five, he still has the trust of his master and my father, it seems that promotion is only a matter of time." Ye Yuhe finally interrupted: "Princess, what are you going to say?" Princess Yunmeng felt that Ye Yuhe seemed a little moved, and said with a smile: "I think you and him... are a good match..." Ye Yuhe suddenly said: "So you are going to match us up, and you want me to marry him?" Princess Yunmeng didn't expect Ye Yuhe to speak so directly, but her face turned red and she was embarrassed.Listening to Ye Yuhe continued: "I listen to the princess's orders, and the princess feels that as long as Qiu Changfeng marries me, he will also obey the princess's orders. Right now, Qiu Changfeng looks good and is even more popular. Everyone can see that the emperor and the prime minister are relatives. He is good, so even the King of Han is very wooing to him. For the sake of the crown prince's smooth enthronement, the princess naturally does not want Qiu Changfeng to join the King of Han and increase the strength of the King of Han. Say good things in front of you, even impress the master, and help the prince ascend the throne?" Princess Yunmeng was dumbfounded when she heard that, she really meant that.This idea didn't come out of the blue, but was planned for a long time, because Yang Shiqi and others have been telling Princess Yunmeng to treat Qiu Changfeng better, and don't make any more powerful enemies. Now everyone knows that it is not worthwhile and unnecessary to fight Qiu Changfeng.Although Princess Yunmeng was wronged, she felt that she was mature and had to take care of the overall situation. Therefore, all the way to Jinshan, she kept thinking about how to treat Qiu Changfeng well.Of course, her idea was still the old way - beauty trap! After she used this beauty trick and successfully obtained "Song of the Sun and Moon" from Qiu Changfeng, she felt that this trick was very useful for Qiu Changfeng.She always felt that Qiu Changfeng seemed a little weird to Ye Yuhe, so she had a whim, and then she was going to ask Ye Yuhe to help win over Qiu Changfeng, but she didn't expect that Ye Yuhe knew better than she thought. After Ye Yuhe finished speaking, Princess Yunmeng came back to her senses and said with a smile: "No matter what, Qiu Changfeng is always a very good person, sister, don't you think so?" Ye Yuhe glanced over with clear eyes, and asked back: "Since he is really good, why don't you marry him? Doesn't that mean you can achieve your goal?" Princess Yunmeng almost jumped up and shouted: "How could I marry a man like him. I feel sick when I see him." Ye Yuhe said coldly: "The princess doesn't want to marry, so do I want to marry? Or, the princess thinks I'm a lowly person, just let me be manipulated, and I don't need to have any feelings at all?" Princess Yunmeng was stunned, and saw Ye Yuhe walking away, stood still, with her back turned to her, and did not say a word. Looking at the lonely back, Princess Yunmeng finally felt apologetic in her heart. Only then did she realize that her scheme was good, but she never thought of other people's feelings. At this time, the sun will sink the river, and there will be dark clouds in the sky. Princess Yunmeng could only feel that the figure in front of her was standing in the wind beautifully, with an indescribably pitiful figure.Although she was angry with Ye Yuhe's tone, she finally couldn't match the apology in her heart. Princess Yunmeng moved lightly, walked over, and said in a low voice: "Sister Ye, I was wrong, I'm sorry." Ye Yuhe was silent for a while before saying: "Princess, I want to go." Princess Yunmeng was startled, and lost her voice: "Go, where are you going?" Ye Yuhe looked at the dark clouds covering the sun, with an indescribable loss in his expression, "I am a headhunter, after all, being by your side is not a long-term solution. I want to go back to the coast." Suddenly remembered what Qiu Changfeng said that night, "Ye Headhunting, many things have nothing to do with you, you really don’t need to get involved.” Ye Yuhe was thinking in a daze——Do I really want to leave, or did I listen to him? Princess Yunmeng became anxious, grabbed Ye Yuhe's hand and said, "No." Ye Yuhe was unmoved, but said: "Princess still wants to order me not to go?" Seeing Ye Yuhe's face, Princess Yunmeng seemed to have sorrow flowing, she panicked for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No, Sister Ye, I really like you staying with me. I am very lonely and always want to have a sister like you By my side, I beg you, stay, okay?" What she said this time was the truth. Although she was in the palace and the bells were ringing, she felt really lonely in her heart.That kind of loneliness cannot be compensated by any luxurious life. She has been favored by Zhu Di since she was born, and she has never been unable to get what she wants, but she is getting more and more lonely, and no matter how much she asks, she can't satisfy the loneliness in her heart.Although Ye Yuhe was indifferent and stubborn, he helped her everywhere and left a very deep impression on her heart.From Princess Yunmeng's point of view, Ye Yuhe is almost an older sister of hers, doting on this coquettish younger sister. Seeing Ye Yuhe's silence, Princess Yunmeng wanted to cry and said, "Sister Ye, I was wrong just now, don't you really want to forgive me?" Ye Yuhe looked at that pitiful, delicate and flowery face, and suddenly felt heart palpitations... At this moment, a bell from Jinshan Temple rang out from nowhere, with a buzzing sound, announcing the end of the day. The sun has set. When Princess Yunmeng realized this, she immediately turned her head and looked into the hall. Seeing that Ye Huan was still standing there, all the guards were about to step forward.He hurriedly said: "Sister Ye, you have to help me catch the bad guys, you can't leave." After saying that, he hurried into the hall. A lamp was lit, dark clouds covered the sun, and the sky dimmed almost instantly. Ye Huan stared blankly at the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map" on the wall. His face was cold, and he heard Yao Guangxiao say: "It's sunset, kill him!" .” As soon as the words came out, all the guards drew their swords, and there was a clattering sound for a while, the cold lamp became colder, and the light of the swords became colder. Qiu Changfeng stepped forward... Ye Huan suddenly shouted: "Wait." Yao Guangxiao waved his hand, and all the guards stopped.Ye Huan wiped off his cold sweat and said with a forced smile, "Master, I seem to have found something wrong." He finally realized that no matter how clever he was, it was useless in front of Yao Guangxiao who was as cold as a mountain. Yao Guangxiao didn't say anything at all, unable to preside over and said, "What did you find?" Ye Huan's eyes fell on Qiu Changfeng, and said: "Brother Qiu is so smart, he must have an excellent appreciation of calligraphy and painting, don't you know what kind of knowledge you can see from this painting?" Qiu Changfeng said indifferently: "Now the master wants you to come and see it. Don't think that if you get involved with me, you can escape death." At the moment of life and death, Ye Huan's expression of aloofness was embarrassing, and he forced a smile and said, "How could it be? I recognize that this painting was painted with the techniques of the Huang School..." Qiu Changfeng cast a sideways glance at Yao Guangxiao, saw that he was silent, couldn't figure out Yao Guangxiao's intention for a while, and said casually, "That's right, so what?" Ye Huan immediately said: "The paintings of the Huang Sheng School of Painting can be said to be unique, rich and majestic..." Qiu Changfeng sighed and said: "If you talk about the techniques of Huang Sheng's painting school, I'm afraid you won't be able to talk about it until tomorrow morning. If you want to use this to gain time to survive, you've made a mistake." 叶欢脸色变得难看,勉强道:“在下当然不是这个意思。只是感觉到这幅画虽然说是工笔细描,可算是上上的画师所绘,但工笔中似有拘谨之意。” 无法主持忍不住喝道:“他画的好坏、拘谨有什么关系,你小子看不出来,就径直说好了。”他虽在呼喝,可神色间,显然有失落之意。 叶欢缓缓道:“谁说画的好坏、拘谨没有关系呢?恰恰相反,大有关系。” 无法主持一怔,错愕道:“你这是什么意思?”这和尚昔日的确是个纵横天下的将军,但就因为如此,所以对画法一窍不通,这画儿他成天在看,看了十年,终究不得其法,从未想到过,这幅画的工笔、好坏会有什么问题。秋长风目光闪动,又落在那幅《万里江山图》上,问道:“叶兄若有高见,不妨直说,这般遮遮掩掩,只怕我等得,我的刀可等不得。”他手按刀柄,竟有出手之意。 叶欢见秋长风要出手,脸色微变,走到那墙前,伸手指道:“这幅画乍一看,的确气魄非凡,但若看久了,就会发现此画只为传真,不见神韵,画中缺乏一种风骨,可见画师虽不差,但并非那种大家。” 秋长风凝望叶欢手指,终于点头道:“不错,你指的那笔就可见画师下笔的时候,颇为拘束,难展灵动。”他手指划动,似乎模拟着画中的笔致,突然道:“这一笔乍一看很是别扭,从上向下运笔只感觉那画师手如负重……” 他话未说完,脸色也变了。 叶欢闻言,神色狂震,突然双手撑地,竟倒翻而立。 众人见他举止古怪,均是心生警觉,只怕他对上师不利。不想叶欢倒翻去看那幅画,看了片刻,突然脸露狂喜之意,叫道:“我明白了。我明白了!” 等到他再正常站立的时候,容颜焕发,一改沮丧之意。 就算是姚广孝都有些颤声问道:“你明白了什么?”那无法主持还是不解,但脸上也露出激动之意,感觉生死关头,这个叶欢好像顿悟了什么,竟要破解这二十多年,没人能解开的玄秘。 叶欢立直,长叹一声,说道:“我明白这幅画的问题了。这幅画居然是画师倒着画的,你们若是倒着来看,就会发现这幅画绝非《万里江山图》。不过要看这幅画究竟是什么图案,还要离远来看才好。” 众人耸容,从未想到过叶欢竟从工笔中看出此种玄机。 卫铁衣心中微动,突然道:“可你若是引我们倒立,趁机逃走又如何?”他不懂画,但懂人的心理,戒备之下,有此一问。 众人又是一呆,才想到这个可能也是有的。 就听到一声霹雳断喝传出,那无法主持突然长身爆起,身形如箭地窜到大殿门前。 不待众人有所举动,那主持脚尖一点,上了高墙,再一翻身,竟借力到了那大殿的横梁之上,身子倒悬下来。 卫铁衣凛然,不想此人虽老,竟仍有这般身手。若让他这般悬挂,他是万万不能。 此人看起来近百岁的年纪,居然还有如此灵动霹雳的本事,若是年轻时,那还了得? 见无法主持倒悬梁上,向那幅画望去,卫铁衣这才想到,这殿中,的确没有任何一个位置,比那梁上观看《万里江山图》的倒画还方便。 方才叶欢管中窥豹,只见一斑,这会儿那主持在梁上倒望去,当然可鸟瞰全貌。 所有人都想倒转来看墙上的那幅《万里江山图》,但身肩卫护姚广孝之责,又如何能失礼倒立? 不少人都是斜睨无法主持,只想从他的脸色中看出分端倪。 不知许久,突然一道霹雳划过夜空,那无法主持倏然落下,从数丈高的梁上掉了下来。 云梦公主差点叫了出来,就见那主持空中腾身,虽在数丈高处落下,仍稳稳落地。若不亲眼所见,谁都难信如此老迈的身躯竟有如此高强的身手。 众人都看那主持,秋长风还有余暇看了眼殿外,皱了下眉头。 原来众人都被那和尚的古怪举止吸引,全然不知早有乌云漫天,秋雨漫下。那如铅的云层压在整个金山上,却好像也被殿中的奇诡之意逼迫,并不落雨。 一道闪电终于不甘沉默,划破了墨染的天空。 可电闪虽厉,终于还是被黑暗吞噬,半晌后,才有沉雷郁郁传来,如天边战鼓。 不过众人心神都被无法主持和金龙诀之谜吸引,天地之威虽然凌厉,究竟吸引不了众人的注意。 所有人都在想着一个念头,那和尚从《万里江山图》中看到了什么? 难道这图中真的藏着金龙诀下落之谜? 金龙诀重出,是否真如传说中的神秘,可改天换日。难道说堂堂大明江山,就会因金龙诀出现,而就此翻天覆地? 就见无法主持落地,放声长笑道:“我明白了,我明白了。”他神色欢娱,竟喜不自胜。很显然,这个秘密压在他心头多年,一朝破解,他再也按捺不住心中的喜悦。 姚广孝目光如电,射在无法主持的身上。这般情景,他居然还能安稳坐立,不动声色,他只是缓缓道:“你明白了什么?” 那无法主持大笑道:“姚广孝,你我争锋了多年,若论心智,我不如你。但今日我敢肯定,就算你也倒着看这幅画,终究还是我先你一步看出这《万里江山图》的秘密,你服不服我?” 姚广孝笑了,笑容不再诡异离奇、森然惊怖,他笑容中带着无尽的沧桑落寞,也有几分讥诮嘲讽,他只是道:“其实我早就服了你。张定边,你能到现在还活着,怎能让我不服呢?” 一道霹雳再次划破长空。 沉雷郁郁。 可就算那电闪雷鸣造成的震撼,也不及姚广孝方才所言造成的震撼为剧。 张定边?哪个张定边?这天底下,还有哪个张定边? 天下英雄归湖广,湖广豪杰看普郎。 普郎虽勇亦要拜,拜我定边独嚣张! 那是天下英雄,无不侧目的张定边。 那是乱世豪情中,就算大明第一猛将常遇春都不敢正撄其锋的张定边。 那是骁勇无敌,身经百战不曾败,虽最终一战落败,但几乎击杀朱元璋,改写天下命运的张定边。 谁都以为张定边早就死了,可张定边原来还活着。 原来眼前这疮疤满面、风月浸染的金山寺主持就是张定边! Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair.朱颜辞镜,落花别树。月有阴晴圆缺,人有悲欢离合,这些本是人世间最难挽留的憾事,但众人见到那须眉皆张、霹雳电闪中仍豪情依旧的张定边,心中不约而同地升起一个念头。 张定边还是那个张定边,嚣张依旧,天下第一英雄!
