number one leader

Chapter 234 Campfire Night Language

The world's four swordsmen, Yan Bufan.

The person in the blue shirt lightly said something, which attracted the attention of the three present at the same time.

Such a person's name, the shadow of a tree, and chivalry are all over the world, it is true.

He doesn't need to report his family background like Chu Sheng and Feng Yu, the word Yan Bufan is already like thunder.

Chu Sheng got up to salute, Feng Yu hurriedly got up to pay respects, but Xian Silang didn't seem to have heard of it, but took this opportunity to tear off another piece of barbecue to eat.

Yan Bufan didn't take it too seriously, he just waved at Chu Sheng and the two of them, telling them to sit down first, then smiled and said: "It's just a little reputation, it's not worth it."

"May I ask why Master Yan came to Bingzhou? If necessary, I will definitely help you." Chu Sheng spoke first, sonorously and forcefully.

Xian Silang can ignore it. He is from the Xian family and has no understanding of the world. Furthermore, his meridians have been cut off and his martial arts has been eliminated. Even if someone is in front of him, he is just a mediocre person. There is smoke in the eyes.But for Chu Sheng, he has earned the reputation of being a gentleman's sword. Regardless of whether he wants it in his heart or not, this persona requires him to have this attitude.

Feng Yu seemed to have little experience in the world, so he held back for a long while, "The same is true for Xiaodao."

Yan Bufan didn't hide anything, he took out a picture album from his bosom, curled his lips and said: "In the past, I owed Shen Banjiang a favor in Jiangnan, so I had to accept this favor and come to find another kid."

"The world is so big, and the nineteen prefectures are vast and crowded, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack." Xian Silang said neither salty nor indifferent.

"That's right." Yan Bufan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That's why I looked for the bag and inquired about it, and I found out that his whereabouts should have ended up in Bingzhou."

The most well-informed people in the world are Bao Wenqu, Ban Rixian, and Bai Xiaosheng. The three of them have their own specialties in arts, and each has their own strengths.Bao Inquired about the direction of this trail, who was particularly familiar with the trifles of Jianghu.If it is said that looking for people in the Nineteen States, you will definitely get something by asking for information, and the rumors in the world are indeed true.

"Shen Banjiang?" Feng Yu scratched his head, and asked with some uncertainty: "Is it my Taoist Danding sect, a descendant of Sanfeng Taoist's disciple?"

"Yes."

Feng Yu never bothered with Shen Banjiang, but murmured to himself, "It's a pity that Taoist Sanfeng has never seen the fairy posture. If Taoist Sanfeng is still there, how can there be such a thing as Danding Daoist?" sect disputes.”

He, a Taoist from the Talisman Sect, came to regret that the immortal figure of the Patriarch of the Danding Sect had passed away, which sounds really weird.

But in this way, it can be seen that Taoist Sanfeng is so respected by others.

During this period, there were folk rumors that Taoist Sanfeng and Yi were related to the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty.

It is said that at that time, the founding of the Great Xia and Ming Wu Emperor Ma Xiaping was in troubled times, seized the world, and established the nineteen prefectures of China.

He spent his whole life fighting in all directions, competing with the heroes of the world for position, and developing his grand ambitions. Naturally, he could not hold the power with his own body alone.As the saying goes, the dragon rises, accompanied by wind, cloud and rain, helping to form a monstrous trend.Emperor Mingwu also had his right and left arm to help him, one was a Confucian scholar and the other was a monk.

A monk is none other than the monk Tianxi, who is the first patriarch of Buddhism in Daxia with his meritorious deeds.

However, he was not good at Buddhism after all, so his identity as the founder of Buddhism was not recognized by the monks.After his death, Changle Temple, one of the eight Buddhist sects, has always been ordinary. If it were not for the Great Xia court, I am afraid that Changle Temple would have been kicked out of one of the eight Buddhist temples.

As for the Confucian scholar, his surname is Liu and his first name is Wencheng. He is famous for his ingenious calculations and strategizing.

He also knows astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom, and can pinch and count. He has the wisdom of gods and ghosts and the art of immortals.

Folk saying: The world is divided into three parts, Prime Minister Zhuge, and Grand Master Wencheng unifies the country.

After the world was settled, Emperor Mingwu wanted to keep the country stable for thousands of years, so he ordered Liu Wencheng to hold the dragon-slaying sword to destroy the world's dragon veins, leaving only the dragon veins in the Fengyang mountains of Sishui City, Suzhou to remain.And the Fengyang Mountain Dragon Vein is not somewhere else, it is where the Great Xia Dragon Vein is. Now the Xia Emperor's Mausoleum has been built, with seven thousand armored soldiers guarding it day and night, unable to leave even an inch.

Liu Wencheng returned home after cutting off the dragon's veins, and then resigned from office and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

There are people in the three overseas mountains who say that Liu Wencheng in the early Xia Dynasty has a body of Yinyuan cultivation, but he has the appearance of a land god, and he could have shattered the void and left.

It's just that when he cut off the dragon veins in the world, he was acting according to the king's orders, and he acted against the will of heaven, resulting in the destruction of his almost immortal kung fu.In such a state, if he died, he would be like a Buddhist and Taoist master whose body would not be damaged for hundreds of years. However, he was punished by heaven and his body collapsed and died in the third year after he retired to the mountains and forests.

He died, but the Liu family survived. Inheriting Liu Wencheng's background, and enshrining the dragon sword to determine the family's fate, it is Liu from the Shenji family, and one of the five Yi families along with the Zhuge family.

But there is a saying, who is the person who is determined to be the person who lives in the Fengyang mountain with the dragon veins of the Great Xia?
At that time, Emperor Ming Wu was not yet born, and his grandfather was only a commoner, called Xia Chuyi.

After he finished farming, he lay down to rest in an earthen nest at the end of the mountain, but a Taoist priest passed by here, and he stood on the earthen nest for a long time.Xia Chuyi was suspicious, so he asked a question. The Taoist pointed to the place where he slept under his feet and said, "This is a precious place, where the aura of heaven and earth gathers. Dead trees can sprout new shoots, and stagnant water can breed live fish. If you are buried here, Then its descendants will be invaluable."

At the beginning of Xia, it was believed that the precepts of the ancestors had been passed down, and he was buried here after his death.

And Ming Wu was young, even though he had great ambitions, but he was born in a poor family, and it was still difficult for him to stretch himself, and he only lived in the world.One day I stayed in a mountain Taoist court, but in the middle of the night, an old Taoist with white beard and hair stepped on the moon, with a short brown boy and a little ignorant Taoist priest beside him.The old Taoist held a blue and white porcelain basin in his left hand, and a bamboo stick in his right hand, but his chest was bulging with a pitch-black stone, so he ordered the three to choose.

Ming Wu wanted to take the blue and white porcelain basin for begging in the future, or he wanted to pawn it for some money in the future.But the young man had sharp eyesight and quick hands, he first snatched the blue and white porcelain basin and held it in his arms, Ming Wu turned to grab the green bamboo stick, but was snatched away by the ignorant little Taoist priest, so he could only take the pitch-black stone in his hand.

The old Taoist shook his head and left with a sigh, and ordered the three of them to go down the mountain.

From then on, Ming Wu went on to change fortunes, conquering the four fields and winning the world; but the young man was doing business, gathering the wealth of the world, and supporting Ming Wu's army to fight.

As for the ignorant little Taoist priest, he became a beggar Taoist, begging everywhere to survive.

The old Taoist has long been worthy of a vague destiny. Ming Wu, the young man, and the little Taoist priest were all born at the same time in the same year, the same month, and the same day.When the rooster crows for the first time, Emperor Mingwu was born, when the cock crows for the second time, the boy was born, and when the rooster crows for the third time, the little Taoist was born.

The old Taoist has the cultivation of heaven and man. If the three people make different choices, he can help them change their lives.

It’s just that everything has its own will. When Ming Wu was born when the rooster crowed, he obtained a dark stone called "Jade in the Stone". Becoming rich can rival a country; a young Taoist priest was born at the end of the crowing of a cock, and he obtained a green bamboo stick called a "beggar's stick", but his life was the most bleak.

One person became the most noble person in the world; the other became the richest person in the world; and the other became the poorest person in the world.

And the old Taoist is none other than the Taoist who talked with Mingwu's grandfather about the dragon's veins, and he called himself Sanfeng Taoist.

The little Taoist called himself Taoist Miaomiao, and also called Taoist Kongkong. He was dressed in ragged clothes and walked with a limp, but he disappeared in the rivers and lakes long ago.

The young man was a secular disciple who was accepted by Taoist Sanfeng at the beginning, surnamed Shen.

----------------

Or the legend is just a legend, let alone whether the Shen family has the cornucopia that is passed down by merchants all over the world, but it is well known that the Shen family is the best at doing business and making money.

Back then, the family of the descendants of the young man surnamed Shen was richer and richer than the next generation. Up to now, no one can tell how rich his family's wealth is.Now the head of the Shen family has followed his ancestors and is more proficient in business affairs. After he took charge of the Shen family, his income in one season was higher than the tax paid by the court in a year, so he was called "Shen Banjiang" because of the accumulation of wealth In his generation, the wealth of the family is enough to cover half of the nineteen states.

It was once rumored by people in the south of the Yangtze River that there was a most secret independent courtyard study in the Shen family's mansion, which was called "Jubaozhai".

The passage in the courtyard is paved with colored glaze, the floor in the study is paved with gold, the walls are cast with silver, and the bookshelves are made of thousand-year-old sandalwood, the fragrance lingers and lasts for a hundred years.At night, the room is almost like daytime without lighting candles, but there are [-] South Sea shark pearls inlaid everywhere, which is so extravagant.

Generally, families like this kind of noble gentry will inevitably become fat pigs under the sword of the royal family, but the young man surnamed Shen was also smart back then. Describe the imperial text of destiny.The descendants of the Shen family will not be involved in officialdom, and will offer sacrifices and gifts every year, accompanied by Conglong's meritorious deeds to avoid the fate of becoming a royal fat pig in the future.

After all, wealth attracts people's envy. After the official status is stabilized, the descendants of the Shen family are also smart. They build bridges and pave roads everywhere, and they have become the sages of the world's civilization.And although they don't serve as officials, they often have a good relationship with the big bosses in the officialdom.In addition, a "Shen's Study" was set up in each of the [-] prefectures in the world to subsidize the poor scholars in each prefecture. If you meet those who don't have enough money, you will give money for free, and you will not ask for any profit or interest, and you will not ask these scholars for half a cent.

But scholars all over the world want face. The Shen family doesn't ask for anything, but they are favored by others, and no matter how upright officials they grow up in the future, they will inevitably have a good impression of the Shen family, and this is also true for the Shen family. enough.

By the time Shen Banjiang arrived, the officialdom and literary paths had been laid as solidly as gold. As long as Daxia did not fall, the Shen family would not face any official difficulties again.However, Shen Banjiang also has courage and intelligence. He claims that he is not weaker than the previous Patriarchs of the Shen family, so he began to build relationships along the way in the martial arts, making friends with heroes in the world, and preventing the Shen family from encountering swords from the world.

And the favor that Yan Bufan owed came from this.

His eyes were slightly closed, and he said with a wry smile in recollection: "Back then, the mysterious ice corrosion of the old man Bingxuan and the old woman Shuiming had to survive seven times of cold poison, and it took 340 three days and nights to get rid of it. But those two old immortals were both half-step dharma body powerhouses. The cold poison was so fierce that when the cold poison erupted for the fourth time, they had already passed out on the road. Therefore, they were rescued by the Shen family. Old ginseng, South Sea mussel pearls and other rare medicinal materials continued my life, nourished my body's internal energy, and just now suppressed the cold poison, and saved this life."

"There are countless people in the world who owe the Shen family favors, maybe there are tens of millions?" Yan Bufan smiled slightly, but said boldly: "Although one more Yan Bufan is not too many, and one less Yan Bufan is not many, but I am a person. I have never been willing to pay back human favors in vain, so if I can repay them, I have to repay them. So I happened to know about this, so I took it over, although it is not enough to repay favors, after all, it also makes me feel at ease."

After the words fell slowly, Yan Bufan unfolded the picture scroll of the Shen family for several people to see. Chu Sheng paused for a moment, weighed in his heart for a moment, pointed to the boy on the picture scroll and said:
"I've seen this person before."

Everyone looked over, and Yan Bufan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "But where is it?"

"Here, there was a nobleman surnamed Li whose son died. This man went crazy. He bought seventy-seven and forty-nine virgins in the market, and planned to hold a ghost marriage for his son. Today, I happened to buy a fat man. Boy, to put it bluntly, I want to cook it as meat on the night of my son's marriage, and taste the taste of human flesh."

Rao Xian Shilang stayed out of the matter all the time, he couldn't help being dumbfounded when he heard this, and muttered in a low voice: "There are such ghost-like characters in this world?"

The little Taoist priest's face turned a little pale, and he lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking.

Yan Bufan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he came to Qincheng of Bingzhou following Bao Inquiring's instructions, it was still troublesome to find someone. Didn't Chu Sheng's chance encounter just make him meet like a candle at night?As for this cannibalism, he has traveled much farther in the rivers and lakes, but he is not surprised, and said indifferently: "The world is bustling with people, and all kinds of people have thousands of postures. People's hearts are separated by belly, although they are all People look like humans, but some people have blood and courage in their bodies, while others are evil ghosts in human skin. If you don't look carefully, who knows what is under each other's skin? Everything is just ordinary."

In the words, he smiled and said: "Anyway, it's good to find it. Even if it's a dragon's lake or a tiger's den, I'll just fish this kid out."

Chu Sheng also laughed, and said, "Can I be counted as one of them? Two days later, I would like to sneak in to get some insight into the feast of human flesh in the dark marriage, and see who are all those poor and vicious people wearing human skins at the banquet." Ghosts, send them back to hell as well."

Yan Bufan naturally had a good impression of Chu Sheng, and immediately laughed and said, "Why not."

The young Taoist priest Feng Yu also said, "Take me with you, too. I'm actually here to get rid of the demon of the Corpse God Cult and come to Bingzhou, but when this happens, you can't just sit idly by!"

"Little Taoist, which character are you from the God of Exorcism Sect?"

"It seems to be called Xiangzhong Baimaowei?" Feng Yu seemed a little unsure in his words.

"This man is indeed somewhat famous in central Hunan." Yan Bufan asked with some worry: "Is your Maoshan technique enough to deal with it?"

"No problem!" The little Taoist Feng Yu seemed confident.

Yan Bufan listened, but nodded lightly and said nothing more. In his heart, he just thought that Feng Yu was a young man who couldn't help irritating him and said some embarrassing things, so he made up his mind that if there was a chance, he would definitely help him. of.

Xian Silang heard it in his ears, he didn't say a word, he just ate up the barbecue and found a corner to curl up in a ball.

As the night gradually darkened, Chu Sheng chatted with Yan Bufan for a few more words, but he also mentioned the matter of Xuan Bingxie, and even told about his past sympathy for each other, which brought their relationship closer.After all, he is an ordinary person, with such a person in front of him, he naturally wants to take the opportunity to make friends, in order to benefit him greatly in the future.

Vulgarity is true vulgarity, and utilitarianism is also somewhat utilitarian.

Soon, the two stopped talking, and Chu Sheng closed his eyes to rest.

Yan Bufan was stirring the bonfire, and when his eyes turned around by chance, Xian Silang opened his eyes at some point and was looking at the intermittent night rain outside.

He patted Xian Silang on the shoulder, the latter turned around, Yan Bufan put his arms around the ragged young man's shoulder and said, "What are your plans?"

"What does it have to do with me?" Xian Silang patted Yan Bufan's hand, but it was like hitting a stone, but his own palm was numb, and he immediately turned his head away with a snort.

His words were not polite at all, but Yan Bufan did not get angry. He just said calmly: "Walking in the world is not about covering your ears and walking sixty thousand miles without asking; it is a self-experience. When encountering difficulties, you must dare to To do, to do. Just as the so-called mundane cultivation of the heart is not a single leaf among thousands of flowers does not touch the body."

"If that's the case, what's the point of walking thousands of miles apart from wearing out dozens of pairs of boots? When will your sword's heart be perfected?"

Xian Silang turned his head back, narrowed his gaze, and said in silence for a long time: "So what?"

"Buddhism has a word." A voice suddenly came from behind, but it was Chu Sheng who opened his eyes and looked over, and said with a smile:

"Bodhi is not a tree,

The mirror is not a platform either.

There was nothing,
Where is the dust. "

Xian Silang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked aloud: "Is this statement wrong?"

Chu Sheng then laughed and said, "You were born on the path of Buddhism, and you entered the world on the path of swordsmanship. If you want to practice swordsmanship, you can't do it by not being dusted from the beginning; rather, you must stir up the dust and brush it away. After this experience, you have gained experience. Once, it took a week of groping and crawling in the world, and only then did I get something."

"If you take what I'm saying, it's right for your Excellency."

"The body is the bodhi tree,

The heart is the mirror stand.

Wipe every now and then,
Don't let it get stained with dust. "

　Crazy. I'm actually digging again, oh my god uh
