Wen Yu said in surprise: "Who is so presumptuous?"
Zhou Yitang stood up.
Wen Yu: "Sir?"
Zhou Yitang picked up the broken knife and checked it carefully, and saw that it was a new knife with an uncut edge, and the knife edge was still astringent, and it was broken into several pieces by someone outside.
Zhou Yitang laughed suddenly and scolded: "You bastard who collects debts, call her in."
Wen Yu was stunned for a moment, Zhou Yitang's anger and anger were indistinguishable, and he was neither humble to the superior nor arrogant to the inferior. He was a modest gentleman. Even if Cao Zhongkun came in person, Zhou Yitang would always say "please" instead of "call". ".
While he was in doubt, the personal soldiers had already withdrawn, and after a while, a young girl of seventeen or eighteen was brought in.
The visitor came in from the backlight, with long hair tied up, dressed in strong clothes, with a simple Miao Dao slanted behind his back, and naturally glanced at Wen Yu when he entered the door.
Wen Yu is also a martial artist, and is extremely sensitive to other people's breath. When the person enters the door, he has not had time to look at the other person's appearance.
Then he saw that man reaching out to Zhou Yitang without seeing anything, and said, "Father, where is my knife?"
Wen Yu was taken aback. Hearing these words, and after taking a closer look, he recognized Zhou Fei.
The last time he saw Zhou Fei, it was in the inn that he didn't care about.
It's not that this girl has grown up to seventeen or eighteen years old, and she can continue to change eighteen years ago. If you look closely, her eyebrows and eyes are still the same, and her body shape has not changed, but her whole person seems to have been reborn. .
Wen Yu remembered that the girl in Hengshan Sanchun Inn was considered outstanding among her peers, but she still carried a little confused childishness, ignorant and youthful, because of ignorance, she was curious about everything and eager to try everything she saw. , As for where to go and what to do next, she doesn't seem to have any accurate ideas.
Now that I see her again, I feel that she has really grown up, just like the slender Miao Dao behind her, with a calm and sternness, no one will underestimate her when she sees it.
Zhou Fei said, "General Wen, stay safe."
"TOEFL." Wen Yu hurriedly responded, but for some reason he felt that he was superfluous. He touched his nose and said, "I didn't see you in Forty-Eight Village before, Mr. Zhou has been thinking about it for a long time, and finally came back... What, You guys talk, I'm going out to do something."
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly made room to leave.
Zhou Yitang stood on the side and looked at Zhou Fei. He was still introverted, and over the years in the court, he became more and more serious.
He didn't seem surprised or excited at all when his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for more than four years, suddenly fell from the sky, and he didn't even ask her where she went.
With a slight smile on his face, he stretched out his pale and thin hand, with a finger that was about three inches in length, and said to Zhou Fei, "It's so tall."
Zhou Fei's nose was sour, and she forced a smile: "I haven't fertilized it yet, how can I grow so much?"
"Why not? You weren't as tall as my shoulders at that time." Zhou Yitang rolled her eyes and waved at her, "Come and see what Dad brought you."
When people who have not seen each other for a long time meet at first sight, their memories will always be left behind by their souls, and they will become unfamiliar with each other. It is necessary to let the memories of the years slowly catch up with the road for a while before they can get back the old feeling.
But for more than four years and more than a thousand days and nights, Zhou Fei felt that Zhou Yitang just went down the mountain to catch a market, and brought back a few gadgets for her to play with. can fall.
Zhou Yitang's footsteps were so brisk that he didn't look like "Mr. Gan Tang" at all. He walked to his simple camp and took out a box that was more than three feet long at the head of the neat bed.
He rolled up his sleeves, and with some difficulty he took out this very heavy long box: "Look at it."
Zhou Fei hurried forward to take it and put it on the small case next to it.
Inside the box is a long knife. The blade is slender and graceful. It is similar in length to Wangchun Mountain, and slightly shorter than the Miao Dao, which is a little in the way. The scabbard is probably a later arrangement, but it is made of brand-new hardwood. Iron and leather, all pitch black, but not lustrous, neither fancy nor shabby looking.
If it is said that Wangchun Mountain is restrained like a gentleman in a grass cottage, this sword is as gorgeous as a prince on horseback. It is impeccable from head to toe. Even if it is thrown into the mountain of swords, it can be seen at a glance. Up to the tip of Wei Wei's knives, all of them carry an outstanding loneliness. After watching it for a long time, people are in awe and can't bear to pull it away.
The weight of the long knife was very handy. Zhou Fei carefully opened the scabbard, only to hear a soft sound. The sound of the blade and the scabbard being staggered from each other was very clear, revealing the blade with a very sophisticated steel mouth, and the inscription at the bottom—
"Broken cover".
"I asked people to find a lot of ancient and famous knives, but there are very few suitable for you. Many of them are already inappropriate. Most of the well-preserved ones are of mediocre aptitude, and those that are not mediocre often carry some ominous legends," Zhou Yitang said. Until last year I saw this one - it was not the hand of a famous man, because its forge only had such a knife."
"This senior's name is Lu Run. He was a very famous figure in the previous dynasty. He had three skills in his life. Literary, martial arts, and medical theory, which mortals can't learn in a lifetime. He is proficient in everything. Kung fu is even more amazing, and he was still the appointed successor of the Great Medicine Valley back then." Zhou Yitang said slowly, "However, at that time, there were many lords and ministers in the middle of the dynasty. He made a solemn vow to save all the people from water and fire, refused the Hanlin, walked the world with only a medicine box, followed the army many times, went deep into the epidemic area, and saved countless lives. "
Zhou Fei has always been inexperienced, but she knows who "Zhao Yi" is. She doesn't know exactly what he has accomplished. She only knows that he was a great hero of the previous dynasty, and was later responsible for the self-destruction of the Great Wall by Shun Jun. Because of the harm, there were many regrets among the people, so many myths and legends were arranged for the great hero, just like Guan Erye, who made a clay statue to worship.
Of course, after the death of General Zhao Yi, his son and nephew proclaimed himself king, and finally forced the emperor to cede the throne. Since then, the story of changing the dynasty has not been talked about much.
"Later, due to a headache, Jun Jun called Lu Run into the palace for treatment, and while he was in the imperial city, General Zhao was trapped and killed by a traitor in the wild southwest. He entered the palace with a sword and killed a bunch of carnivores who had brought disaster to the country and the people. Unexpectedly, he received a suicide note from General Zhao Yi, instructing him to use thousands of Li people as the public, not to ignore the overall situation, and to do gross and outrageous things, causing thousands of innocent people to fall into war and chaos. Entrusting his family to his hands, Senior Lu had no choice but to put down the air of being an outsider and run for the Zhao family. He and Jun Shun made a serpent to save the life of the Zhao family. After that, he was exhausted and escaped into the big medicine valley. Don't ask about the world again. Who knows that eight years later, when Nanman re-entered the Central Plains, the emperor of the previous dynasty had no choice but to activate the Zhao family's army again. Back then, the Zhao brothers, whom Senior Lu worked hard to protect, took back the military power, but the sword pointed at the imperial capital—"
Zhou Fei opened her eyes.
Zhou Yitang told her about these historical allusions in the past, but when Zhou Fei was a child, she treated them all as stories and forgot them when she heard them. :"and then?"
"Then the surname of the country was changed to 'Zhao'. In the early years of Jokhang, the wars continued, and the Quartet was in turmoil. The Celestial Dynasty went to the Great Medicine Valley many times to ask Lu Run to come out of the mountain, but saw that his temperament changed drastically, and he was addicted to asking the immortals and asked him all day long. With the cinnabar medicine tripod as a companion, he made some pills for nothing, and his actions were often upside down and absurd, so he had to leave angrily. "
Zhou Fei vaguely felt that she had heard this story somewhere.
"Lu Runtian is a prodigy and proficient in miscellaneous studies. So far, the master swordsmiths of the East China Sea have all recorded the miscellaneous notes of casting he compiled, and he is 50 years old all the year round. It is said that he died of drug poisoning. The disciples and grandchildren of Dayao Valley sorted out his relics. Seeing that most of what he left were poisonous pills, they had to destroy them one by one. This is the only thing..." Zhou Yitang's eyes fell on the silent long knife, "Who is it? I don’t know when he cast it, but the scabbard was already covered with dust, and I don’t know how long it took to leave it, but the light of the knife was like frost, making people feel cold when they saw it.”
Zhou Fei looked down at the word "shattering cover" engraved on the knife, and suddenly it seemed that she had touched a sad and desperate spirit of the sages on the knife.
How short, how regrettable, how powerless, how is a person's life made by good fortune.
Why did the past come and go, and die without regret for those who have been diligently seeking and who cannot shirk.
Zhou Yitang smiled and said, "I think you should like it."
Zhou Fei was silent for a moment, then pushed up the shattered scabbard, and replaced the Miao Dao that had been made all the way, and suddenly smiled at Zhou Yitang: "Father, if you have something to say, just say it directly, I don't need to talk too much about that, and I still go around. In such a big circle, it’s both based on things and based on history, to be honest, I haven’t turned two pages of the book since you left, so I don’t necessarily understand what you are saying every time.”
Zhou Yitang: "…"
Apart from his looks, this child really doesn't look like his own.
Zhou Fei thought for a while, and then asked, "Father, if you were that Senior Lu, would you hide in the Great Medicine Valley and refine something like 'Guiyin Dan' and 'Guiyang Dan'?"
Zhou Yitang smiled.
"I didn't understand why you left in the past, but now I know. I blamed you before, but now I don't." Zhou Fei paused, then said, "I... met a senior on the way, after he knew my surname was Zhou. , ask me to ask you a question for him."
Zhou Yitang: "Huh?"
Zhou Fei said: "That man is an old monk, he asked you, 'Slaying demons, demons and monsters with a sharp blade, and at the beginning of the victory, when the demons bow their heads and the magic weapon rolls their blades, what kind of sacrifice should be used to quell the resentment and calamity in the hearts of those who bowed their heads? '?"
Zhou Yitang's smile gradually faded.
Zhou Fei took out a cloth bag from the package behind her and handed it to him, "The old monk said, if you can't answer, let me give this to you."
Zhou Yitang took it, and without opening it, he said, "Be careful with the solemn seal?"
Zhou Fei was taken aback: "How do you know?"
Zhou Yitang reluctantly said: "It's okay for ordinary people to make trouble, but Chu Tianquan and King Kang actually appeared in Yongzhou openly. After that, His Royal Highness Kang's side kept a secret, and Beidou Wenqu died there inexplicably. I haven't heard of anything, and I don't have to take a corpse for a meal—did the monk tell you that his name is 'Tongming'? What did the master give me this for?"
Shen Dufang Yin was on the body of the dead Chu Tianquan at that time, but the people beside the corpse of the big devil at that time, from Ying He Cong to Zhou Fei, were all confused, and they unexpectedly gave away the key items that so many people were fighting for. forget. Fortunately, the old monk Tongming, who was looking for Xie Yun's traces, passed by, and he did not let this Shen Dufang Yin fall into the wilderness, and was inexplicably taken away by some wild animal to make a nest.
Zhou Fei looked confused.
Zhou Yitang opened the cloth bag, looked at the water ripples on it, pondered for a moment, seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said in a low voice, "Could it be..."
Zhou Fei secretly stretched out her ears.
However, Zhou Yitang wrapped Fang Yin again, and asked, "What else did he say?"
Zhou Fei suppressed her itchy heart and said, "Oh, I also told you to help me show you the way."
Zhou Yitang raised his eyebrows slightly.
"He asked me to ask where Liang Shao is buried." Zhou Fei said this, as if she was afraid that Zhou Yitang had misunderstood that the old monk was going to dig a grave, and hurriedly explained, "It's for a… friend, he was shot. A strange poison, we can't do anything about it, Liang... That adult used to have some friendship with Da Yaogu, and it is said that many of the relics of Yaogu are in his hands, so... "
"Friend?" Zhou Yitang glanced at her.
Zhou Fei lowered her head to study the toes of her shoes, nodded and said, "En."
A smile flashed across Zhou Yitang's face, but he didn't ask any further, only said, "Master Tongming is too rigid. Since I asked you to ask, what gift do I give? Don't I tell you?"
Zhou Fei: "…"
It is said that Zhou Cun once studied under Liang Shao, and probably Master Tongming did not expect that her father would be so happy when he heard that someone was going to dig his teacher's grave.
"I'll draw you a map in a moment." Zhou Yitang handed the Shen Dufang Seal to Zhou Fei, and added, "Take this home and give it to your mother, say it's my 'net worth' and ask her to replace it. I'll keep it for a few years."
Zhou Fei gave an "oh", but didn't move.
Zhou Yitang wondered, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Fei squeezed around Shen Duyin's edge, but didn't answer directly, she just said, "Uh... That Li Sheng, Li Yan and the others are waiting in front, send me to invite you home... Uh... Dad I haven't been home for some years, and I haven't seen you for many years..."
Zhou Yitang understood as soon as he heard "Li Yan": "A few of you dare not go home, right?"
Zhou Fei: "…"
"If you don't have the guts to go home, how can you have the guts to run?" Zhou Yitang glared at her, "Wait, I'll tell them a few words."
Seeing him go out, Zhou Fei lowered her head and smiled, then her smile faded, and she touched the broken cover behind her.
The old monk Tongming entrusted her with three things. The first was to find the classic book of the Great Medicine Valley that was said to have fallen into Liang Shao's hands - the "Hundred Poisons Classic" written by Lu Run in those days.
The second is to collect all kinds of cherished cold relics.
The third is to find an inner master who is proficient in yin and yang.
There may be some clues in the "Hundred Poisons Classic", but what exactly is the holy relic to ward off cold, even the old monk can't say several, as for what is called "yin and yang two qi", it is completely just a few words from the classics collected by Penglai, what is it? I mean, no one can tell.
Master Tongming asked her to prepare, even if she traveled all over the world, she might still be unable to find it in the end, and the result would still be a falsehood.
But she always wanted to try.
When Zhou Yitang left forty-eight villages, she also stared at the closed mountain gate, and once thought that he would never come back, but now, he is not too homely and timid, and has been patrolling around Shushan for a long time, waiting for them. Will the junior give him a step, so that he can go back and talk to the old man confidently
Even if the sky wants to go to hell, how can you trap yourself in a valley as a prison
After all, it's that time of year again.
