Fengqiwu [Flying Fox]

Spring is early in the south of the Yangtze River, and late in the north.Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province, located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, ushered in greenery all over the mountains in February of the 36th year of Qianlong.This is the training ground of Zhang Sanfeng, a master of martial arts in the late Yuan Dynasty.Originally from Shaolin, Zhang Sanfeng learned the legendary secret book "Nine Suns Manual" by chance. Based on the foundation of Shaolin martial arts, Zhang Sanfeng became his own master.Since the Ming Dynasty, the Wudang School and the Shaolin School have been called the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts. They have a high status, but they have always had a very tough attitude towards the imperial court.Especially after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, in order to appease the forces in the world, the imperial court wanted to seal the heads of Shaolin and Wudang several times. It happened that Shaolin is a Buddhist school, and Wudang is a Taoist school, so they all declined on the grounds that "monastics are indifferent to fame and fortune". The imperial court assumed a posture of neither confrontation nor compromise.During the reign of Qianlong, the Wudang School passed to the head Ma Zhen.Although Ma Zhen became a Taoist monk, his original identity was the descendant of the Tiandihui, an anti-Qing organization, so he didn't buy into the Qing court, only he didn't lead the disciples on the mountain to openly raise the flag to rebel.The imperial court was having a great headache because of this, but fortunately Ma Zhen died soon after, and the position of head should be succeeded by Ma Zhen's younger brother Lu Feiqing.Lu Feiqing was also an active anti-Qing figure. In the 24th year of Qianlong's reign, the Red Flower Society united with various anti-Qing organizations in the uprising, and he was one of the core figures.After the defeat of the Red Flower Society, the uprising leaders in various places were either killed or disappeared, including Lu Feiqing, and the Wudang faction finally became leaderless again.The imperial court was secretly relieved, and after finding out that Li Yuanzhi, Lu Feiqing's only direct disciple, was from an official family, his father Li Kexiu, the admiral of Zhejiang, also participated in the campaign against the Red Flower Society.Although Li Kexiu was convicted and executed for delaying the military plane, but because of his many years of military service, his family should be excused, and Li Yuanzhi, who had returned to Wudang Mountain, was named the head of the Wudang faction, and he was bestowed with the Taoist name "Nanhua".

At the beginning, Li Yuanzhi was trapped by love and couldn't help himself. Because of his father's crime, he felt that he had no attachment to the mundane world. Thinking of the kindness of his master's teaching, he simply went to Wudang Mountain and devoted himself to practicing martial arts.After 12 years like this, the naive girl in the boudoir has become a female crown in Taoist clothes. Although her green temples and beauty remain unchanged, the vicissitudes of life that cannot be erased have long been added between her brows.

It was early in the morning, and Li Yunzhi led his disciples to practice a set of boxing and sword techniques in front of Zixiao Palace as usual, and he didn't stay any longer. After changing clothes, he hurried down the mountain and came to a small courtyard next to Yuzhen Palace.As soon as the door was pushed open, the girl's crisp laughter came from the courtyard, followed by a figure that only reached her waist, rushed up, hugged her and called "Auntie" endlessly.Li Yuanzhi couldn't help showing a smile, grabbed the little girl's hand wrapped around her body, asked "Did Lan Lan sleep well last night?" "Is mother okay?" and led her inside.The girl nodded seriously, pointed to the room and said, "Mother is packing things."

Li Yuanzhi was startled, hurriedly entered the room with the girl, and said, "Sister Asu, what are you doing?"

A young woman in her early thirties who was sitting beside the bed with a bundle raised her head and smiled slightly: "Having lived with you for so long has caused you a lot of trouble, we should go too."

"What's the trouble!" Li Yuanzhi casually took the bag off her hand, and sat beside her, "I call you sister, but you treat me like an outsider!"

"If I treated you as an outsider, I wouldn't come to Wudang Mountain with shame, and live here for two months, even years." Su Qing still smiled faintly, "It's just that we are like this now. ...Although I think that Mr. Fu has actually slacked off a long time ago, and we can't stand our good brother Miao Daxia who has been biting him. We also have to be active, which is better than squatting dead in one place. What's more, a few days ago As you said, Fukang'an is going to hold another master meeting, and you must attend in your capacity, so that people will know that it is not good for us to be with you."

Li Yuanzhi paused, and then sighed: "Your mouth... I have nothing to say. Well, you should be careful on the road, and you will return it after this period of time is over. Anyway... Anyway... Talk to me too."

"Understood." Su Qing glanced at the daughter beside the bed who was staring blankly at their conversation, "Lan Lan, look, Auntie Li is still the head of the sect, she can pout!" Li Yuanzhi blushed and hit her lightly.Ruolan clapped her hands and laughed happily.

"Sister Asu, you...you are so kind!" Li Yuanzhi pulled Ruolan over and rubbed her in her arms, "I am in love with Mr. Miao Daxia and have such a cute daughter. I am so happy for you!"

Su Qing looked at her quietly: "A Zhi, what about you? Do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life?"

"What's so bad about living like this. How many people can meet a sincere person like you, a couple who are united as one? Anyway, I don't want to." Li Yunzhi's expression was indifferent, as if he was talking about irrelevant things Ordinary, "It's a pity that I didn't pay much attention to learning from my master back then, and now I have limited access to the country. I'm afraid that I have enough energy to carry forward Wudang martial arts. But I think Ziyi still has some talents—"

"Huh? What did Master assign me behind the scenes!" A clear and lively voice suddenly sounded at the door, followed by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. Her big eyes were very lively, and she walked over a few steps and grabbed Su Qing's clothes, deliberately refusing to say, "Aunt Asu, Master must have spoken ill of me again, you have to make the decision for me!"

Su Qing let out a "poof" laugh, but pointed at Li Yuanzhi and said, "I don't know who gave birth to the daughter, how come she is just like you back then, she is a little magic star!" Acting like a baby, the four women, big and small, laughed together.Miao Renfeng was coming in after the girl, seeing this scene, he smiled uncomfortably.

Li Yuanzhi was the first to correct his expression, got up and gave a solemn slap, and then said: "During this period of time, I must also thank Mr. Miao for his guidance to Ziyi."

Miao Renfeng seemed to be a little more relaxed now, and raised his hand in return: "Master Li, you don't have to be polite. Ziyi is talented and intelligent, and he is indeed a good talent for martial arts. In about three to five years, he will be successful."

"Really?" Li Yuanzhi shook his head with a surprised expression, "I am too incompetent to be a master. Isn't it ridiculous to be the master of Wudang with such martial arts!"

"Sect Leader Li is too humble. Ziyi's inner strength and body skills are very solid, and it is Sect Leader Li who teaches well."

"I'm talking about you two," Su Qing rolled her eyelids impatiently, "Aren't you tired of talking like this? —Zi Yi, you don't know, your Uncle Miao never praises others, if he does, , this person is not bad for 1 years. You are fighting for yourself, giving your master face, go ask the master for a reward!"

The girl Ziyi was amused to hear it, and sure enough she pestered Li Yuanzhi endlessly, and even Ruolan followed behind to make fun of her.Li Yuanzhi said helplessly: "Your Aunt Su is right, you are a little devil star! I thought I would send you down the mountain after a while, but it happened that your aunt and your Uncle Miao were leaving, so you sent them off." , and then venture into the rivers and lakes by myself. For half a year, come and talk to me before the master meeting in August."

Zi Yi's temper is one that loves to be fresh and lively, so he clapped his hands and applauded when he heard it, but suddenly saw Li Yuanzhi glaring at him, then he stopped him abruptly, bowed and saluted obediently: "Yes, Master."

Li Yuanzhi took Ruolan's hand, sat back next to Su Qing, and smiled slightly: "You usually look smart, but you have never really gone out. This time you go outside alone, and be vigilant in everything. Don't call me out." People coaxed you to sell it, and I have nowhere to redeem you."

"Auntie, listen," Ziyi stomped her feet, "is there someone like Master who beats people down like this!"

"What did you say? What happened to me?"

Ziyi was startled, and quickly waved his hands: "No, I didn't say anything." But Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled.Li Yuanzhi ignored it, thought for a while and said: "I gave you the name Ziyi, and everyone on the mountain is used to calling it, but they never have a surname."

Su Qing's heart sank when she heard this, and she remembered how Ziyi's mother Yingu was forced to give birth to her daughter and had nowhere to go.At this time, Yin Gu had passed away, and everyone had not concealed Zi Yi's background, but when it was mentioned suddenly, it was afraid that the girl would feel sad.But Ziyi seemed to be very excited, clapping his hands and saying: "Well, my surname will be Zhang from now on!"

"Nonsense! What kind of Zhang is a good surname? Then why don't you have my surname Li?" Li Yuanzhi rolled her eyes at Ziyi, and continued, "It stands to reason that your biological father's surname is Feng, so you should follow Feng."

"What biological father? I don't want it! I might as well follow Master's surname Li!"

"Go, don't mess around!" Li Yuanzhi scolded softly, "Your mother's maiden name is Yuan, so you should take your mother's surname. It's not easy for her to raise you by herself, at least you should think about it."

When Zi Yi heard her mentioning her deceased mother, her expression became solemn, and she nodded in agreement.Then I heard Li Yuanzhi say: "But your father is still here, after all he..."

"What kind of father is he!" Ziyi snorted, "I will never recognize this father."

"Whether you admit it or not, you go to Foshan, Guangdong to meet him—this is a mission for you to go out this time, don't evade!" Li Yuanzhi stared at Ziyi, suppressed her rebuttal with his eyes, and then sighed Tone, "You are still young, and you have never experienced anything before. You don't know how important blood relationship is. Once you give up, you will regret it in the future."

Ziyi's lips moved, as if he was about to speak, but he finally held back and bowed his head in agreement.Li Yuanzhi thought about it and there was nothing else to do, so he got up and said goodbye, and chatted with Su Qing for a long time, agreed on a certain day to set off, and he would come to see him off, so he left with his purple clothes.

Two days later, Li Yuanzhi and Ziyi came to see him off, and they went out of the Wudang Mountain Gate.Ziyi accompanied Miao Renfeng and his wife to continue eastward.Ruolan has gotten along with this big sister for a long time these days, and the two girls chatted endlessly.

Su Qing glanced at Miao Renfeng who was frowning, and couldn't help laughing secretly.Miao Renfeng said coldly, "Zi Yi, how many years have you been practicing martial arts?"

"Five years," Ziyi tilted her head and calculated, "I only started practicing martial arts when I was 13 years old. Master said that girls who practice martial arts too early will be bad for their health."

"What your master said is true. But you have been practicing martial arts for five years, and you have achieved such an achievement, which is already very rare."

"Oh, Aunt Asu, you still said that Uncle Miao can't praise others!" Ziyi's face turned red immediately, "Which time did I fight Uncle Miao before I was beaten to the ground, and I couldn't even return my hand? It was worth such a fight Say it again!"

Miao Renfeng sneered: "You are a young girl with inexperienced skills and no experience in fighting enemies. Naturally, you will not gain the upper hand in a fight with me. But your internal skills are authentic Wudang, and you will be able to achieve something in time. Not to mention, When you wield a sword, there are many places that don’t stick to the rules, and can be changed according to the situation, and the front and back strokes also have echoes. Obviously, it took a lot of thought and study. To put it bluntly, it’s not like something Li can teach .”

"Pei Qing, what are you talking about! Do you say that the master is not good in front of the children?" Su Qing couldn't help but glared at Miao Renfeng.Miao Renfeng coughed: "I'm just talking about the facts. Head Li has a lot of martial arts attainments, so he's more casual. Her swordsmanship is not the same as Zi Yi's. But this Wudang Rouyun swordsmanship is not passed down in the sect. The secret, besides Sect Leader Li, who else can teach it?"

"Uncle Miao is right, isn't it my master who taught me!" Zi Yi laughed hastily for some reason, "Apart from my master, where else is there any master of the Wudang sect in the world?"

It was fine if she didn't say this, but just as she finished speaking, Su Qing's eyes flashed, and she said: "What a little girl, you dare to play tricks in front of me! Are you afraid that I won't remember your master uncle! "

Miao Renfeng froze for a moment: "Jiu Niang, who are you talking about?"

"aunt!"

Su Qing looked at Ziyi who was in a hurry and smiled leisurely: "'Fire Hand Judge' Zhang Zhaozhong, Mr. Zhang! ——It’s strange that you insisted on saying your surname was Zhang that day, but it’s Zhang!" Seeing that Ziyi still wanted to argue, she pointed with her finger She pointed her nose, "Do you dare to say otherwise? What did you say about your master that day? 'Mai Tairen', where is this word? Even your master didn't understand it, who did you learn from?"

"I... I heard what my brothers said."

"Are you coaxing ghosts! Is this the word of a person outside the pass, or did it come from Damanren? Is there a Manren among your senior brothers? Or does one of them know someone from the imperial court?"

"Zhang Zhaozhong?" Miao Renfeng snorted, "So it's the Qing court..." Seeing Ziyi's expression, he didn't say the word "running dog" after all.

"Back then, Mr. Zhang was able to settle Yingu's sister-in-law—the mother in purple—on Wudang Mountain, so that she would not suffer from the hardships of the rivers and lakes. In fact, Mr. Zhang helped a lot." Su Qing sighed softly, "This is for everyone. It's everyone's fate. However, the lord Zhang is busy with other affairs, and he can go to Wudang Mountain to teach you, you little girl really has a lot of face!"

"Yes, not a few times..." Ziyi lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "He... Uncle Zhang... only came to see me and my mother when he passed by Wudang Mountain on business, and taught me martial arts by the way. Auntie, this I never told anyone about it, so don't..."

"Don't worry, I won't tell your master." Su Qing nodded after hearing Li Yunzhi mention the grievances of the previous generation of their Wudang School, "It's rare that Mr. Zhang is kind to your mother and daughter."

Ziyi giggled, but in the end she didn't want to bring up this topic again, and after thinking about it, she asked, "Aunt Asu, where are you going? Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No need, don't you still want to go to Guangdong?" Su Qing thought for a moment, "It's okay for us to go with you, but Ruolan is always homesick. Fortunately, the rumors are not too tight now. I will go with you, Uncle Miao. It’s better to go back to Jinshan, and after a while, I will go to Kaifeng, Henan Province to find Master Fan of the Beggar Gang. If you have anything, ask someone to bring a letter to these two places.”

Miao Renfeng smiled at the side.His ancestral home is in Jinshan. Although he often travels the rivers and lakes, he still feels that his "home" is there.In the past few years, in order to avoid being chased by the officers and soldiers, he has been wandering outside with his wife and daughter, and his homesickness has become more and more serious.Seeing that Su Qing knew this situation, but pushed the idea of ​​"homesickness" on Ruo Lan, she couldn't help being funny.Suddenly I heard Su Qing say again: "A Bao, since you are going south, help us find out if there are any descendants of Hu Yidao on the way."

"Understood!" Ziyi replied in a long voice, "Auntie, why do you still call people by nicknames! Master has already said that if I meet people with common names in Jianghu, I will say my surname is Yuan and my name is Ziyi." Seeing her serious look, Su Qing couldn't help pinching her face, then laughed at her annoyed expression.

After a few more days, Yuan Ziyi and Miao Renfeng Suqing parted ways in Jiangxia and turned south to Foshan, Guangdong.

The author has something to say:

The second volume begins!The four little female roles began to appear on the stage one after another!

...But at present, only Yuan Ziyi and Cheng Lingsu can come out, and Luoli Miao Ruolan occasionally makes soy sauce.Believe me, it will be included in the third volume.

Give some wax to the hero Meow who is at a loss because of falling into the crowd of women in this chapter.

A point for the military commander who has never had a part in the show but keeps lying down.

Wu Zhi, you have such a strong sense of presence that you can steal the show for me...

Speaking of Wu Zhi, I had a chat with CP a few days ago on the topic of "why Jin Yong always blackmails him morally when he writes villains", and then——

Wu Zhi, you have been lying on the ground and have never been surpassed!
