Chapter 26 Water Dragon Chanting
Luo Xiaoyao stood in front of a cave not far away. When he saw Chu Nanfeng and Xiao Muyun arrive, he walked over to greet him: "Xiaoyao has seen his master."
Chu Nanfeng looked at the two children who were practicing in the field and smiled and said, "It's only been more than two months, and the moves of Xiaohu and Changshan are also quite good, which is rare."
"The person who used the fist was called Meng Xiaohu, who was the closed disciple of Master Hua, and the other one was called Changshan, who was the closed disciple of Master Wu. Yesterday you followed me to the village, but I have never seen him. If you are based on seniority... If you are based on seniority, you and Xiaoyao will call these two little guys as their uncles." With his words, he walked towards the cave more than ten feet away.
"Mr. Martial Master and Master Hua will return to the academy soon. You will meet Mu Yun at that time..."
Xiao Muyun saw that the entrance of the cave was about one meter high and six or seven feet wide. As Chu Nanfeng entered the cave, he saw that the wall of the cave was convex or concave. The passage in the cave was sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and he walked about ten feet. Then he saw a stone door about three feet wide and nearly six feet high blocking the way.
Luo Xiaoyao stepped forward and moved the stone slab away. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a cave that was more than ten feet wide and more than three feet deep. The top of the cave was hanging upside down. There was a passage on the left, covering a wooden door. It was thought that it was made by a man in the academy. There were several short stone piers in front of the cave wall on the right, and several overlapping cushions on the ground.
"This cave is a place where you practice Qi training. Behind the wooden door on the left is a wine cellar, which hides the fine wine that several masters love to drink. Oh, Xiaoyao... Mu Yun's identity must not be mentioned to anyone in the courtyard, especially Xiaohu and Changshan..."
Luo Xiaoyao was a little surprised when he heard this. He thought that he understood what Chu Nanfeng said, so he nodded quickly: "Disciple understands."
Chu Nanfeng looked at Xiao Muyun with a puzzled look and briefly explained the matter of saving Meng Xiaohu and Changshan, "When the teacher went north to pick up your Shigu family, he met the Khitan soldiers who killed Changshan and Xiaohu's parents on the way. He went south from Fenzhou, but he didn't know who led the troops... Alas, if Xiaohu and the others knew that you were a Khitan, they thought they were unhappy."
Xiao Yanbei also talked to Xiao Muyun about the cruel scenes of the two armies fighting and siegeing cities and villages, but he never mentioned the experiences of ordinary people. At this moment, he was shocked when he heard Chu Nanfeng's story, "When did Master save Xiaohu and Changshan's two uncles?"
Chu Nanfeng thought for a moment: "On the third day of the August 2018."
Xiao Muyun exclaimed, "Disciple knows who led the troops, but he did not expect that it would be so cruel that even ordinary people would not let go."
She knew that Xiao Yanbei was the first to lead his troops to Qinzhou in mid-July. When she inferred from time that it was not the leader of her father, her nervousness would be relaxed.
Chu Nanfeng was a little surprised: "Oh? How did you know?"
"When Dad led his troops to help Han, he received a letter from the King of Yan from Youzhou. He heard that the King of Yan recommended Yelu Zongwu from Shuozhou to help Han, in order to make a name for making achievements. From now on, it seems that it should be the soldiers led by Yelu Zongwu. He usually looks like a man, but he indulges his subordinates to kill unarmed people."
"This is exactly what the so-called war disaster is, Khitan..." Chu Nanfeng originally wanted to talk about burning, killing and looting wherever the Khitan soldiers went, but thinking that Xiao Muyun was a Khitan, he stopped and turned to say, "Xiaohu and Changshan are still young. When they suffer from this change, they naturally think that all Khitans are enemies. If you get along with them in the future, you may have to suffer a little grievance."
Xiao Muyun smiled softly: "They are the disciples' junior uncles, so they can't suffer any grievances."
Chu Nanfeng was very happy to see her so cheerful and straightforward, and had no grudges. "Okay, Lu Yiji would be very happy if he knew that I had taken a good disciple for her."
After walking to the stone pier and sitting down, Luo and Xiao took the cushion and sat cross-legged in front of him, he said, "Mu Yun, you have learned the Xuanyuan First Sutra, and it is not difficult to understand the "Taisu Heart Sutra". You can write down the instructions for your master... You can also comprehend and comprehend it."
Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun looked at each other, nodded, and listened to Chu Nanfeng's explanation of the "Taisu Heart Sutra" technique. Ma Xilan and Chu Nanfeng had a deep relationship. When they were together, they also exchanged and discussed the skills they had practiced. Chu Nanfeng had never taught Luo Xiaoyao Ma Xilan's technique, so he was afraid of seeing things and thinking about others.
After arriving at the Hangkong Temple, he heard Wuzhen's words and felt that Ma Xilan was still in the world and his mood was different from usual. When Mu Daocheng hoped that he could accept Xiao Muyun as his disciple, he happily agreed and passed on the merits to Luo Xiaoyao.
After listening to Mu Daocheng's insights on the martial arts in Mingyue Villa, Chu Nanfeng also recognized it very much, so he explained the "Taisu Heart Sutra" martial arts of more than a thousand words to Luo and Xiao, but did not explain it in detail.
"You both practice the Heart Sutra of the Highest Practice. There will be less troubles to comprehend the Taisu Heart Sutra than those of beginners. But each Practice has its own key principles and principles, and you must slowly understand it. If you have any confusion, you can ask the teacher for questions."
"I'll stop here this morning. Xiaoyao, take Mu Yun to get to know the academy environment. Oh, there's another thing..." Chu Nanfeng stood up and looked at Luo Xiaoyao. "Don't tell Chang Shan and the others about your encounter with Chang Qingqing on the way... Alas, this little girl's life and death are unknown, so let Chang Shan know, and you may cause trouble. If the people from the Medicine King Valley find her, they will definitely come to the academy to tell you. It's not too late to tell Chang Shan and the others at that time."
Luo Xiaoyao knew his painstaking efforts and nodded and replied: "Disciple understands."
Xiao Muyun asked Luo Xiaoyao about the reason. When she learned about Chang Qingqing's experience, she felt a little emotional. Although she and Xiao Siwen had a dispute with each other, the two of them were really brother and sister. She thought that if she had encountered Chang Qingqing's experience, Xiao Siwen would definitely go to search for it at all costs.
I thought that Changshan was the same, and that Changshan's brothers and sisters and Xiaohu's parents both died at the hands of the Khitan soldiers. Although they were Yelu Zongwu's subordinates, they were also subordinates of their father Xiao Yanbei. I felt ashamed and thought, if I had the opportunity in the future, I would definitely help Changshan find Chang Qingqing. I would just let it go if I thought about this.
Three days later, in the evening, Chu Nanfeng and the college were having their meals in the kitchen, but Wu Wangbo and Hua Qianxing returned on the snow. Zhao Yinshan hurriedly asked Yuan Bo in the kitchen to add the dishes.
Wu Wangbo and Hua Qianxing were surprised to see Xiao Muyun too many times. After listening to Chu Nanfeng's introduction, Xiao Muyun hurriedly stepped forward to greet the man. Knowing that he was Chu Nanfeng's newly acquired female disciple, Wu Wangbo was surprised: "It seems that the leader of the mountain not only improves martial arts, but also has a great mood. It is a joyful congratulation."
Chu Nanfeng smiled and said nothing. Hua Qianxing looked at Min Zhenghua and said, "Has this kid Xingwu returned to the village again? I will ask him to go to the mountains to get some wild game tomorrow to satisfy my cravings."
"Sister Brother Xingwu, I will be on duty tomorrow. At that time, my disciples will go and fight a mountain pig with Master Hua."
Hua Qianxing likes meat very much, especially wild game, which is constantly running all year round. I think it is related to his practice of physical and martial arts. After hearing this, he nodded and turned to Chu Nanfeng: "Shan Zheng, how about this trip to Youzhou?"
"Some of the incidents, Liu Gongwen is involved in a lot, and has a lot to do with the Khitan Guard Mansion and the Guards. It would be difficult for a moment to kill him."
Wu Wangbo frowned when he heard this: "Oh, it's the Khitan Guard again..." He swept the students who were still eating, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Chu Nanfeng guessed that he had something important to do and said something, so he smiled and said, "The two masters have just returned. I will use some wine and food first. It will not be too late to talk to the hall later."
"Okay, drink some wine to warm up your body first. This is strange. I haven't gone out of the mountains for a long time, and I don't feel that it's cold in the mountains. When I came to Bianjing, I felt that the mountains were cold."
Hua Qianshan laughed, "I think it was Mr. Wu who came out of the mountain. Seeing the colorful world outside, he made an excuse to leave the academy, haha..."
Wu Wangbo stared at him: "If I hadn't been worried about the mountain leader's return, I would have really wanted to stay in Bianjing for a few more days."
After a stick of incense, Wu, Hua and Chu Nanfeng arrived in the main hall of the backyard. After sitting down, Wu Wangbo said, "Zhenghua must have told the mountain chief that Qiubai has invited me to Bianjing, right?"
Chu Nanfeng nodded: "But the reason was found out? Who did it?"
"There is no clue. Alas, two days after I arrived in Bianjing, all the unconscious people died."
Chu Nanfeng said "ah", and Hua Qianxing continued, "There is no scar on his body, as if he died in a deep sleep. The old Khitan man who died when he found out was in a state of small success in his arms. He was just a blow on his right shoulder, and his blood was slightly stagnant. It was not a life-threatening injury. I thought it was because of the coma for a long time before he died. I couldn't see what kind of martial arts it was..."
"Mr. Wu and I called Qiubai and asked him to lead the way to the Qinglong Mountain Canyon. When we were at the place of fighting, we also saw some clues. There was a tree that broke in the waist, which should be caused by the Buddhist practices such as subduing dragons and subduing tigers. We also inferred that this matter should be related to Buddhist disciples."
"There are several temples near Qinglong Mountain. The most famous one is Ciyun Temple. Jungui asked Gongxian County Magistrate to follow me and went to various temples as officials of the court to inquire. He passed the list of monks in the temple. Some monks were knowledgeable about martial arts, but there were no one who had reached the Mingqiao Realm."
"At that time, I thought of investigating the temples of Shaoshishan. If you talk about the vastness of Buddhist martial arts, you should be the leader of Shaolin Temple and return to Bianjing, you would ask Jungui to invite Shaolin Abbot Huizhi."
"Oh, I don't know why, Shaolin Temple is only open to the public for three days a month, and the rest of the time can be considered a closed temple. If it weren't for Jungui's identity, it would be difficult to invite the abbot to go... "Wu Wangbo stroked his white beard and said, "Abbot Huizhi came to the tent and saw the dead guard and sang the Nova yell without saying anything. Jungui asked him, but he saw the cause of death of these people, but he said he could not see the truth."
"Maybe because of Prince Jungui's identity, he took me, Brother Hua, Jungui and others to Shaolin Temple and called Master Huikong."
Chu Nanfeng was shocked, but he thought that Master Huikong was a person highly praised by Master Yi Wuwei, and he was also accustomed to "destiny". If he was willing to help, the truth should be revealed.
"When Huikong heard what Qiubai told him, he was very surprised. He immediately went to Qinglong Mountain with us and wandered in the forest where the fight was for a moment. Yan Dao broke the tree's technique of the Dragon Elephant Art of Buddhism, but other things were called "I don't know."
Chu Nanfeng was shocked at this time. He instantly thought of Yan Zhongchang who disappeared after fighting with him in Yunzhou. He also thought of the Khitan guards among the dead, and concluded that this matter should be related to Yan Zhongchang. Thinking of this, he talked about the fight between him and Yan Zhongchang and Wu, and Hua and the others listened.
Wu Wangbo thought for a moment after hearing this: "It seems that this matter is related to the Lion King mentioned by Shan Chang, but with his skills, or fighting with people in the forest, he was able to escape..."
"In terms of Yan Zhong's position on the top of Changmingqiao Mountain, and the dead old man was Bao Dan Xiaocheng, and many guards, who had not undergone fierce fighting, were either killed on the spot or died on the spot or were unconscious for several days, without fatal scars on his body. This technique is incredible. Even if the Nascent Soul and Golden Body Man takes action, it is impossible for even the two masters to see a trace of clues?"
Hua Qianxing smiled bitterly, "But we can't see any trace of this matter. I think that Zen Master Shaolin Huikong was confused and unresolved, and he was not a false attitude. If you want to find out the truth about this matter, you must find Yan Zhongchang to ask..."
Chu Nanfeng nodded: "What does Jungui mean?"
"Jun Gui thought that this matter was strange, but he heard from the people of Si Tianjian that the so-called auspicious aura was not bad for others. At present, there is no intention to investigate it carefully. However, with his intelligence, he thought that this matter was not simple, and he wanted..."
Hua Qianxing, who was standing beside him, saw Wu Wangbo wanting to speak but stopped, and smiled and said, "It's strange that he would go hesitate when he stepped out of the mountain gate. That Jungui meant to ask the mountain chief to help him. There was no expert around him to use it, so he could only put aside his careful investigation for the time being."
Chu Nanfeng said for a moment and smiled: "Disciples will go to find Lu Yi soon. The two masters can be the master of the academy. The king values virtue and the current emperor is talented and wise. If the world is stable, the academy will do its best. Moreover, this is the original intention of the two masters and masters."
Wu and Hua were like Yi Wuwei. They both joined the army in their early years, and they all wanted to use their talents and martial arts to follow the wise ruler to determine the country and safe country. One followed Huang Chao and the two followed Li Keyong, but they were unable to get what they wanted and hid in Taibai Mountain.
"Oh? The mountain leader is going to find the princess?" Hua Qianxing was stunned and looked at Wu Wangbo.
"According to Master Wuzhen's judgment, Xilan should be still in the world, a disciple..." Chu Nanfeng paused for a moment, "It has been seventeen years, I think she has suffered a lot of grievances..."
Not only did he go to visit Ma Xilan, but he also wanted to find out the whereabouts of Yi Wuwei. He thought that Yi Wuwei left a message with Mu Daocheng seven years ago and would have returned to the academy within three years. Now there is no news. He was worried, but he was afraid that Wu and Hua and the other two had only become worried after they learned about it, and they did not express the real reason why Yi Wuwei left the academy.
Chu Nanfeng's sad eyes flashed, but he was also seen by Wu Wangbo. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that he was extremely affectionate and nature. He was able to find Ma Xilan with the opportunity to find Ma Xilan, so he nodded and said, "I am willing to go to find the princess with peace of mind, so I don't have to worry about everything in the academy..."
After pondering for a moment, he said, "As for what Jungui wants... If the emperor today practices the way of heaven and wins the hearts of the people, I still have some strength in this old bone between me and Brother Hua, so it is feasible to help him."
Chu Nanfeng saw Wu Wangbo's silver beard floating and his expression was solemn, so he nodded, "It's so great that the two masters will have to worry about everything in the academy."
**
The ice and snow scenery of Taibai Mountain is different from the green grass in Liuling Mountain. Xiao Muyun feels that it has a unique artistic conception. For practicing Taisu Heart Sutra, the vast and cool state may be more helpful for comprehending. After more than five months, Xiao Muyun stepped into the threshold of the realm of Returning to the Truth.
During his daily practice, he either followed Luo Xiaoyao and Minhangwu to take Meng Xiaohu and Changshan to catch birds and animals, or studied medicine with Min Zhenghua, or discussed various schools of thought with Jiang Wuya, but they all had experiences. Wu, Hua and Chu Nanfeng naturally praised his wisdom and wisdom.
In early April, the climate of Taibai Mountain became warmer. One morning, Chu Nanfeng called Luo Xiaoyao, "When your master marched and fought, he got a sword and sank into the Taibai Sea. Today, he will find it and deliver it to you. You will follow him up the mountain."
Luo Xiaoyao looked at Meng Nanfeng with a gentle expression, thinking of having a ten-year appointment with his father Luo Hanshui. He felt that his master, who was not usually indifferent to his beauty, was about to leave. He was in a daze and said in a trembling voice: "Master..."
Chu Nanfeng did not say anything, and stood up and walked forward. Luo Xiaoyao had to follow. The spring was full of spring along the way, the green pine was in nature, the birds were singing and the flowing water sounded lightly, but Luo Xiaoyao was unwilling to appreciate it. He only watched Chu Nanfeng's figure walking in a daze, and unknowingly came to a valley in a valley north of Baxian Taipei. But there was a big lake in the valley, with fog swaying on the lake, and it suddenly seemed like the wind blew away. The thin ice on the lake floated, the lake light was like a mirror, and it was like something sucking, and it was thick fog, surrounding the body, and the eyes were not penetrated.
Chu Nanfeng stood by the lake, staring at the lake for a moment, and suddenly a light roar was heard, and the mist within dozens of feet dissipated. But when he saw him reaching out and raising his hand, a qi hike flew into the lake. In an instant, a circle of ripples on the lake surface slightly, and then splashed. Suddenly, a sound of dragon roar sounded like a dragon roar. A sharp sword broke through the water and paused a little at a height of three meters above the lake surface. Suddenly, it fell to the lake surface after a few feet above Chu Nanfeng's right hand was retracted, and the sword flew into Chu Nanfeng's hand. Luo Xiaoyao suddenly felt the coldness and the temperature around him dropped sharply. Chu Nanfeng sighed: "I have heard of Daming for a long time, and I have only been able to meet today. I am so lucky. The water dragon roar... I am not cold yet, but the qi is penetrated, okay, good."
After staring at the sword body for a long time, he turned around and handed the sword to Luo Xiaoyao, "More than 40 years ago, your master immersed it into this lake. At that time, he had not yet entered the master's name. Later, he heard that the sword was called Shuilongyin."
"Master once said that this sword is quite murderous, so he immersed it into this lake to calm down and nourish its nature. This sword came out of the lake today, and the fog was captured by its gods and dispersed. It can be seen that the master has achieved success in raising swords, haha..."
Luo Xiaoyao took the sword and felt the cold air at first. The sword light was like a mirror. After a breath, he felt that the water dragon roared like a scorching sun and ice, and the pearls were covered with dust. Chu Nanfeng said: "The sword sheath is in the rock behind the house where Master Puxiantai lives, you can go."
After saying that, he looked like a slight person and disappeared in an instant. A sound came: "The peak entered the sky and the fog was 100 feet long, and the lake was filled with fairy air and water dragon roar. If you can enjoy peace, this sword will be drunk and unwilling to wake up."
Luo Xiaoyao murmured and repeated Chu Nanfeng's poem, and was stunned for a moment, a cloud of fog hit, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Xiao Muyun returned from the back mountain to practice and entered the backyard. However, Cheng Rou entered through the front yard gate with tears in her eyes. When she saw Xiao Muyun, she was about to come and said in a trembling voice: "Where is my uncle? Are you leaving for you too..."
When Xiao Muyun heard it, he felt like thunder trembling. After a while, he came back to his senses, "Rou'er, what did you say?"
"My uncle just said goodbye to his grandfather and said he was looking for... to leave for his uncle. He promised Rou'er to take Rou'er to Chanzhou, woo, woo..." Cheng Rou was already crying.
It turned out that the Chu family had already gone to Chanzhou with Jiang Qiubai's family, leaving Cheng Rou, who was practicing martial arts, in the academy. Chu Nanfeng had promised to send Cheng Rou to Chanzhou, but unexpectedly left to visit Ma Xilan.
Xiao Muyun was stunned when she heard this, and she felt mixed feelings. She and Cheng Rou were both born in a family of officials. She was favored by others since childhood. After leaving home, she became a disciple of Chu Nanfeng and entered Taibai Academy. She was still better than to get along with her family with her father and mother, and she was a teacher or friend. She was farewell to Chu Nanfeng without saying goodbye to her, and she felt very sad.
After a moment of dazed, as if he was thinking of something, he ran towards the wooden house where Luo Xiaoyao was. He pushed open the door but no one was seen. He felt even more panicked. He stood at the door and said anxiously to Cheng Rou who was following him: "Is Senior Brother Luo also walking with him?"
But when Cheng Rou shook her head and sobbed, she did not answer. Suddenly, sadness arose from her heart, her eyes were wet, and tears fell silently.
Wu Wangbo sighed at Hua Qianxing in the distance, "Brother Hua, is the mountain leader affectionate or ruthless?"
"The mountain chief taught Xiaoyao for ten years, fulfilling Hanshui's friendship with him, and taking Mu Yun as his disciple, but Mu Daocheng taught the fate of swordsmanship and had no concerns. If the princess was still in the world, the mountain chief would be looking for her...ah."
It was already noon when Luo Xiaoyao came down from the Baxiantai. Seeing Cheng Rou and Xiao Muyun standing at the entrance of the academy, he knew that Chu Nanfeng had left the yard, and felt sad in his heart, silent for a moment, and suddenly roared towards the sky.
Everyone in the courtyard heard the sound and came out, but they saw Luo Xiaoyao, Xiao Muyun and Cheng Rou at this time. Zhao Yinshan and Jiang Wuya looked at each other, knowing that Chu Nanfeng left without saying a word, and they all remained silent.
Luo Xiaoyao lost his mother since childhood. When he was eight years old, he was sent by Luo Hanshui to Chu Nanfeng to learn literature and martial arts. Luo Hanshui also sent people to take Luo Xiaoyao back to the Tongbao Pavilion General Pavilion to gather for one and a half months to enjoy the joy of family. At the age of ten, Luo Hanshui continued to be a wife of Yan, and Yan also loved Luo Xiaoyao very much, or it was not because of his biological mother and son. Luo Xiaoyao finally felt a little restrained and did not want to go back to the pavilion. Instead, Luo Hanshui came to Taibai Academy to see him.
In the past few years, he and Chu Nanfeng were almost inseparable from each other. If Chu Nanfeng went out, he would have told him where he was going. He had never left without saying goodbye. In his heart, he remembered that Mu Daocheng had said in Mingyue Villa. Master Yi Wuwei left the mountain and disappeared to find Ma Xilan. He felt that Chu Nanfeng had left this time and saw him again. He felt very sad now.
Looking at the stream not far away, he stood there for a moment, suddenly drew his sword and rose up. Everyone heard a dragon-roaring sword sound, and a cold light shone brightly. Luo Xiaoyao had already jumped into the stream, and a sword was slashed out with a sword. The water splashed, and the water curtain more than ten feet high was about to slash. The colorful water droplets shining under the sunlight fell over the stream, and the sword light was shining and dazzling, which had melted into light and shadow with Luo Xiaoyao's body. The leaves and mountain flowers by the stream passed by the sword intent, flying away from the branches, accompanied by the sword energy.
It was April at this time. The people outside the courtyard felt that the sword energy was cold, and the sword style exuded sadness, which disturbed people's hearts. Wu Wangbo, who had arrived at the entrance of the college, sighed: "A sword frost is everywhere in the academy, a good sword, a good sword move."
Chapter completed!
