The gentleman is to blame

The rain in Haiyu always has a dampness, which is more or less uncomfortable for people who live in the north all year round.Even if the sun is shining brightly, it can't take away the slightest moisture.When I came to Haiyu, it was cloudy and rainy from morning till night.Song Huai couldn't help complaining in his heart, when will the rain stop.

Song Huaizhen's master is a Taoist priest of Yanxia Temple, named Wangchen.Most of the time, the master has the attitude of a hermit.Temperament a little cold, few words.In addition to cultivating Taoism on weekdays, he teaches swordsmanship and formations to two apprentices. The days are flat and quiet.

It can be said that the spiritual energy in the world is thin today, and the number of immortals, demons, and ghosts has dropped significantly.Hundreds of years ago, there were many sects of cultivating immortals, big and small, and the era when various methods of cultivating immortals were rampant has passed.In recent years, there are several big sects of cultivating immortals, and there are many people who are proficient in medical skills, Taoism, and martial arts under their banners, and they can be regarded as a lot of talents.The small sect of cultivating immortals has already been declining day by day.Those who can read a few words can barely earn a living as an accountant, while those who can't read big characters live a miserable life of doing fortune-telling on the street and being deceived.The upsurge of cultivating immortals in the past has long since faded away. Whether it is poor people or high-ranking officials, they all live a mortal life that should be cultivated and studied.

When it comes to Yanxia Temple, we have to mention Taixuan Mountain.After all, Yanxia Temple was originally a part of Taixuan Mountain, a great sect of cultivating immortals.The sect master of Taixuan Mountain is like a god, proficient in easy learning, and even better at easy art. The immortal came down the mountain and assisted the founding emperor of Daqi today.The head of the sect doesn't care about fame and wealth. After the Daqi Dynasty was established, he returned to Taixuan Mountain to continue practicing Taoism.Therefore, although there are very few immortals nowadays, and the popularity of cultivating immortals is very low, Taixuan Mountain is still a great sect, and high-ranking officials and nobles also like to send their children there to study for a few years. If they can't become immortals, they can learn all kinds of knowledge. It's a good deal.

As for the Yanxia Temple, there is a master in the Yanxia Temple who has become a real immortal, named Huixin.It's a pity that Huixin deviated from the scriptures and went against the Tao. After becoming a fairy, not only did he not serve the sect, but his whereabouts were unknown.Master Huixin can't be found, isn't Huixin's younger brother Wangchen still there?Although not as talented as Huixin, he is still a master of immortality.It's a pity that this high-ranking person doesn't like to take care of things, and only wants to avoid the world. Over time, this Yanxia temple has become a small Taoist temple that has been marginalized by Taixuan Mountain all year round.

The people around here just heard the name of "Yanxia Temple belongs to Taixuan Mountain", and came to offer two incense sticks and pray for blessings.Song Huaizhen and Fu Wenyuan grew up in this environment, and because they have always received the loose education of their master, they grew up freely and freely.I routinely go to the annual Zongmen Conference in Taixuan Mountain several times a year, and I find that most of the people around me are elegant, serious and rigid aristocratic children.Fu Wenyuan used to be considered a family member, but because he loved swordsmanship since he was a child, he came to Yanxia to observe his master.Song Huaizhen was born in a businessman, his parents died young, and he lived in Yanxia Temple since he was a child.The two of them were incompatible with the overall atmosphere of Taixuan Mountain.

Fu Wenyuan, also known as Song Huaizhen's little brother, was arranged by his master to go down the mountain for training a few years ago.This person is very fond of swordsmanship, although he practiced in Yanxia Temple in the corner, his swordsmanship is indeed one of the best.He used to show his talents in the martial arts competition in Taixuan Mountain, but unfortunately he was very talented and his opponent was too weak. After participating in it for two consecutive years, he stopped playing and only focused on practicing swords.In those years, there was a state of aloofness and loneliness, everyone was drunk, but I was sober.

The sword technique that Fu Wenyuan practiced is called "Five Yuns", which was passed down by Wang Chen himself.This sword technique has already been practiced by him to perfection.But the little brother would still lament from time to time, there is no such thing as swordsmanship, but no mentality.Wangchen told Fu Wenyuan that if he was destined to find his uncle Huixin and get "The Empty Way" when he went down the mountain, it might be beneficial to him.

You know, Master Huixin has been missing for hundreds of years, and the possibility of finding him is extremely slim.However, after hearing this, Fu Wenyuan, who loves swords and became obsessed, immediately went down the mountain in high spirits.

Song Huaizhen still remembered the scene when Fu Wenyuan went down the mountain.

"Asu, I am going down the mountain this time to go to Jianghu Wulin to use my 'Zhenyuan' to beat all the swordsman masters in the world, and then find my master and practice "Kongdao"."

"Then the junior brother is here to wish the senior brother his wish."

Fu Wenyuan nodded and said, "After I'm gone, take care of yourself. Don't just read those fortune-telling books all day long, and practice martial arts well if you have time, or your enchantment. No one can protect you when you walk in the rivers and lakes. Are you not afraid of the eighteenth-rate master's martial arts when you go out?"

"Senior brother, you yourself may be number one in the world, but of course I am the eighteenth."

After hearing this, Fu Wenyuan shook his head vigorously. In his heart, it is unreasonable for someone like Song Huaizhen who does not seek to make progress in swordsmanship, but after all, he is also a junior brought up by himself, and it hurts to talk too much.

"Farewell!" Fu Wenyuan clasped his fists to Song Huaizhen, turned around and went down the mountain.

After Fu Wenyuan left, Song Huaizhen's days became even more lonely as snow.Fortunately, he has long been used to this clean life, reading books every day, practicing enchantment, cleaning the courtyard, and chatting with rare pilgrims.Days, just like that, passed by day by day.

The deserted Yanxia Temple welcomed a guest today.Sect Master Ruobai of Taixuan Mountain Medicine Sect personally brought his favorite student, Xie Nangui, to visit.If the senior brother is cold-tempered and obsessed with swordsmanship, at least he can get along with him.This Xie Nangui and himself are completely different types of people.

In his heart, Song Huaizhen disagreed with many rules of Taixuan Mountain.Taixuan Mountain has always regarded itself as a pure place for cultivating Taoism, but the descendants of the aristocratic families who came here also had quite a few depraved gangsters who stole chickens and dogs.The recruitment of students in Taixuan Mountain should have been open to everyone, but now children from poor families cannot even enter the door.Of course, he also understands that things are not that simple, just like some poor families who send their disabled or sick daughters to the Taoist temple simply don't want to take responsibility.

As for Xie Nangui, he belonged to the kind of child who hit the big luck.It is said that he was an apprentice recruited by Sect Master Ruo Baizhen from a tea shop in a small town when he was traveling in his early years.Xie Nangui's parents ran a small tea shop, and Lord Ruobai happened to be passing by. They met Xie Nangui for a few words and thought that he had a great talent for studying medicine. He heard that he had to go back and forth twice before bringing him back to Taixuan Mountain. .Xie Nangui has indeed lived up to the expectations of Master Ruobai, and he is indeed the No. 1 medical school among the younger generation.Xie Nangui was not dressed in black like his senior brother, he was cold and aloof.He was wearing a light blue martial attire, with a crown on his head, and a pair of peach blossom eyes. When he smiled, his eyes were crooked, showing a gentle and elegant demeanor.Holding a folding fan and wearing a jade pendant all year round, he looks like a well-behaved immortal disciple.In the annual Zongmen Conference, Xie Nangui's medical skills are the best among all the heroes. Although his martial arts skills are not as good as Fu Wenyuan's, they are still in the forefront, and his excellence is outrageous.Song Huaizhen just didn't like him, and always felt that this person was not like what he showed, and that he was a "smart talker" person at his core.

The bridge between the two of them was formed when they were young.

Song Huaizhen was still very young at that time, and his master arranged for Fu Wenyuan to take care of him.Fu Wenyuan was reluctant at first, very perfunctory.Later, Master Wangchen stopped teaching swordsmanship.The brother who loves swords like a fool immediately became anxious, and in order to perform in front of real Wangchen, he started to use too much force.So much so that when Song Huaizhen was six years old, Fu Wenyuan had to feed him bite by bite.Song Huaizhen didn't have any idea at that time, what's wrong with being served, one is eager to show off, and the other is happy.

Coincidentally, Suzerain Ruobai brought his beloved apprentice Xie Nangui to visit Wangchen.Seeing this scene, I didn't know how to describe it for a while.A half-grown child hugs another child and feeds him mouthfuls of food. Brothers and friends respect each other.

Sect Master Ruobai: "The two apprentices of Taoist Master Wangchen are really affectionate, and you are really good at teaching."

Wang Chen: "It's just for Wen Yuan to sharpen his temper. Swordsmanship is just a skill, and Dao Xin is the key."

Xie Nangui was also a child at that time, playing with Song Huaizhen, touched his face with his fingers, and laughed, "Look at you

I'm about the same age as me, I can help my parents in the tea shop, you still need someone to feed you, you're so ashamed! "

Sect Master Ruo Bai immediately stopped him, "Don't be rude when returning to the south!"

It was probably on that day that Song Huaizhen, who had only been with his senior brother and master all year round, awakened his self-awareness and realized that as a little man, he should not be treated like a little girl and baby by his senior brother. This is mixed with awakening and growing up. As well as the emotions of shame and anger, Song Huaizhen was deeply stimulated.The enmity with Xie Nangui has also been remembered since then.

Now that Fu Wenyuan has gone down the mountain, the reception of Sect Master Ruobai and Xiao Qiu's family was originally done by the senior brothers.But now Song Huaizhen can only serve the two of them with tea and water.

Ruobai: "Wen Yuan has been down the mountain for a few years, but now he has a great reputation, everyone calls him the number one sword in the world."

Song Huaizhen said, "Senior brother is talented and intelligent, and he has been taught by master all the money. It is a matter of course that he is number one in the world."

The two were talking, Wangchen came slowly with his fly whisk in his hand.Glancing at Song Huaizhen, he said, "It's time for Asu to go down the mountain to practice. It's just that your martial arts are low, and you have been in the mountain for a long time, so you don't know what's going on down the mountain. It's my teacher and Sect Master Ruobai that you and Nangui will be together. A group of people, he just happened to have some things to deal with. Let's go down the mountain together."

Song Huaizhen's face was full of surprise and reluctance.

Xie Nangui sat next to him, picked up the tea, and sipped it elegantly, with calm eyes and calm movements.

Sect Master Ruobai looked at Song Huaizhen and said with a smile, "Huaizhen, do you think Nan Gui is not qualified to go down the mountain with you?"

Song Huaizhen quickly shook his head like a rattle.

Ruobai nodded, "That's good. Nangui has been to many places, and he has rich experience in traveling as a doctor. After the two of you go down the mountain, you will take care of each other. Wangchen and I will wait for you to come back in Taixuan Mountain."

Xie Nangui got up, saluted Sect Master Ruobai and Sect Master Wang Chen politely, and said, "Thank you Master and Daoist Wang Chen for making you perfect." Song Huaizhen quickly imitated Xie Nangui, saying, "Thank you Master and Sect Master Ruobai."

I am really melancholy in my heart. I am afraid that the beautiful days of sweeping the floor, reading books and dazed every day will be gone forever.

Song Huaizhen began to count the days for the return journey on the first day of the journey.I am used to the Yanxia Temple, and I don't have any special liking for the environment at the foot of the mountain.It is even more desperate to let him go out with someone he hates now.Xie Nangui's existence is like his childhood shame transformed into a spirit.The special childhood memories are always impressive, which makes Song Huaizhen really unable to relax and face Xie Nangui.I was extremely flustered in my heart, forcing myself to forget the past, but once I saw Xie Nangui, I couldn't forget it no matter what.

The two started down the hill without saying a word.But instead of one behind the other, they walked side by side, each carrying a small package.Looking from a distance, there are two youths from the Immortal Sect walking together, together with the lush forest, it is a standard picture like a youth traveling.However, if you look closer, one has a calm face, and the other has a stupid face. They walked as quiet as chickens, without any interaction, and they still walked side by side. I'm afraid others would feel embarrassed if they saw it.

Song Huai really thought about it, and said: "I said Xie Nangui, the two of us can now be regarded as partners traveling down the mountain together, no matter what prejudices we once had, we should let go."

Xie Nangui thought about it seriously, then nodded, "I've long forgotten the fact that you were fed by Fu Wenyuan when you were six years old. I don't remember at all, really."

Song Huaizhen was dumbfounded, you forgot that you shouldn't have said it, and how come you can remember it so clearly even at the age of six, even the senior brother and the master may not remember it.

Song Huaizhen said, "If you really let go of your prejudices, can you tell me where we are going, I don't know the way since I was a child, I just follow others."

"Our trip is to Haiyu, I just want to inquire about an old story."
