Three Masters' Sword

In the depths of the family's mansion, there are twelve high-ranking chairs in the main room.At the chairman, each person sat down according to the order of the guests, and behind each of them stood a few capable family members, relatives, nephews and juniors.The chairman is Huang Gu, the most respected and respected family member. Everyone has frowns and gloomy faces.

"I'm calling everyone here today, and everyone here knows why." The white-haired old lady said, and tapped the dragon head stick on the ground, "Since Liao Yanke and his group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals who call themselves the Northern School are holding We are the first ones to attack us. Today, I asked everyone to bring the younger generation because this paper can't cover the fire. Now that this is the case, I have to entrust the younger generation... Everyone Let's talk!"

Wang Keng's face was full of blood and blood, and it was the color of a pig's liver. He was sweating profusely from time to time. His eldest son Wang Qi, who was with him, took a towel to wipe the sweat for him, and said angrily, "Hmph, I've been driving away the Tartars for a few days. The leader of the five provinces, really thinks that he is the leader of the world's martial arts? Why should we listen to him? Why should they meddle in our own affairs?"

Many people followed suit.In terms of succession, Wang Keng is now the patriarch of the twelve families, but he is not the eldest son. Wang Yehai's eldest son, Wang Zhu, has been ill for the past few years, and Wang Keng is as unpopular as a thunderbolt. The wind and rain are precarious, so the ceremony of opening the shrine and erecting the head has never been done, but everyone agreed verbally; but his words always have some weight. "Yeah! You suddenly said that you would come to help us rebuild the twelfth floor? You don't have anything to do, it's either rape or robbery; just drive them away, why argue with them?"

Huang Gu sneered and said, "Do you think anyone on the twelfth floor can rebuild it if they say so? Mu Jin, tell me."

Mu Mujin nodded. The twelfth floor was built on the site of his Bo family, so he knew it best. "The twelfth floor was originally designed by the Yanzhou School, and the first generation of Mr. Yanzhou personally supervised the construction. That scroll is the only one in the world, and it is not kept in my place, but in Yanzhou Secretly stored on the island. Generations of patriarchs only hold Yanzhou Guixing and the patriarch’s seal, and can ask Mr. Yanzhou to return the scroll, so that it can be imitated..."

Everyone let out sighs of varying lengths.The fact that Yanzhou Island sank after a short-lived flash in the pan five years ago, of course, everyone here has heard about it; all the organ patterns on Yanzhou Island sank into the water, and many locals and martial arts people saw it with their own eyes.

"Now that they say they want to rebuild the twelfth floor, of course they can't just say nothing, they came prepared... because although Yanzhou Island sank, and the Yanzhou faction disappeared, but now the last generation of Mr. Yanzhou——Bei Yanzhou It's in their hands."

"So what? The blueprint has already sunk, even if he has the ability to reach heaven and earth, he can't make it up for nothing, right?"

Mu Jin said: "It's the little gentleman from the Yanzhou school who is to blame. He is probably a rare figure in a hundred years. His Yanzhou school has tens of thousands of blueprints. He said it was sinking, and he didn't feel sorry for it. This is not unusual. The mind of a craftsman. He can do this because he has the ability of photographic memory, and he has already memorized the pictures of tens of thousands of tricks and tricks, and he has memorized them all in his mind."

Everyone in the hall burst into flames.

"The Northern faction caught him...Could it be...he silently revealed the map and handed it over to the Northern faction?"

"It's unreasonable! It's something that has been passed down from my clan, how can it be easily given to people?..."

Someone also said rationally: "But even if this building is built more mysteriously, it is just a building. They took the blueprints and really like it. They choose a geomantic treasure to rebuild it. Why do they have to drag us?" "

Huang Gu sighed, and looked at Wang Keng's unspeakable appearance, thinking that Wang Yehai died suddenly, and he didn't know what was going on here, so she waved her hand, and all the servants left, and the surrounding gates were closed. All closed, and then said: "There is nothing to hide now. I told you that this building is related to the luck of my twelve families. I'm afraid you heard it too, and never took it to heart. It's just a building. Qi is a bit of a coincidence, how can it be related to luck? I know you have all thought about it. Now I want to tell you that it is not only about luck, it is actually related to the lives of thousands of people in our family of twelve. That’s why we cover up layer after layer, it’s also a secret book, and it’s also a way to go upstairs, it’s just to make others dare not covet it at will, and it’s also an excuse for those who come to snoop to die here..."

"If some of you are smart, you will ask when you urinate: Our twelve families have different surnames, how can we be counted as one family? At that time, the elders will always tell you, because the twelve handsome men of Jiangdong were sworn brothers who lived and died. It’s as good as a family. But in fact... we did live and die, because our twelve families were grasshoppers on the same rope a hundred years ago, and it’s the same now. It was at the time of the change of government At that time, because of the "chaos in the rivers and lakes" and the "natural disasters in the weir", you must have heard of these allusions. The lineage sitting in the court today seems to have a bad name at the time, and it was marked by the name of King Qin At that time, the two orthodox heirs of the emperor were fighting for life and death, and neither obeyed the other; the court officials were in charge of each other, and each was their own master. Unexpectedly, the former emperor passed down the imperial edict and handed down the edict before his death. The Imperial Seal was handed over to the six newly-enrolled Jinshi of the Imperial Academy, the six new Curtin servants who had just been admitted to the Imperial Academy, and the only little prince who served in front of the bed, who was weak and sick, and had a congenital heart disease..."

The secrets of the royal family that were as far away as the horizon more than a hundred years ago are slowly revealed at this time. Except for a few people who knew in advance, the faces of the younger generation are full of disbelief, as if everything that is too long ago is related to it. It is impossible to have a so-called realistic relationship.

"The city was destroyed the next day. The ancestors, with their families and homes, mixed among the refugees, concealed their identities, embraced the real prince, and fled to the Jiangdong area..."

It was a year of chaos.There are so many bandits and bandits running rampant, and the people are in dire straits. It is also the time when the warriors of the rivers and lakes come out and become famous.At that time, how many sects and sects would spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and the thief had the same name, helping justice, so this escape was assisted by many heroes of the rivers and lakes.

At that time, the twelve entrusted so-called "Ministers of Imperial Command" were nothing more than a group of well-known and well-known people. Although they had a name, they did not have any real power.But because they held the imperial edict and the jade seal, they were justified, and they were generously assisted by a well-informed local hero in the Jiangnan area to help them conceal their identities, so they were saved from being wiped out.They kept their identities incognito and falsely claimed that they were rich businessmen who had fled from the mainland and set up a foothold in Jiangdong. The fact that "the emperor of the real dragon lives in the rivers and lakes" has been spread faintly in the martial arts, but the soldiers and horses of the Xuan clan in the north are getting stronger day by day, and their wolf ambitions are clearly revealed, and they no longer hide it. Leaking the wind and news will bring disaster.At that time, the Xuan family had already killed the two princes for the crime of rebellion, and was searching the whole country for the rebellious officials and thieves who stole the imperial seal. After all, the "Twelve Talents" are all young talents with literary talent and military strategy, and they have the passion to serve the emperor's knowledge and protection. The "twelfth floor" is a "twelfth floor", and an agency is secretly set up in the building. It is planned to invite people from all corners of the country to go up the building together. At that time, the imperial edict and jade seal will be made public, so as to expect everyone to respond to the great cause.

But the other party is not an idiot, there have been spies among the martial arts people for a long time, and they found out that the twelve families planned to recruit troops in the Chun'an area, and they also wanted to call in the martial arts to make the Jade Seal of the Kingdom known to the world; During the period, the weir lake was blocked with water, and he planned to take the opportunity to destroy Chun'an as a country, and also wipe out this group of "chaos in the rivers and lakes".

This is the "Weir natural disaster" that caused a sensation in the world a hundred years ago, and it is also the battle that made Shen Wangquan, a martial arts wonderman, famous. "Sage Shen" took action to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Chun'an and Lin'an, but also ruined the road to the restoration of the country that the twelve families had worked so hard to plan.Today, the lake next to Chun'an is full of thousands of pearls and thousands of islands, but people gradually forget that there used to be thousands of mountains and valleys, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack. The twelve families brought countless gold and silver from the palace. As funds for raising troops, they were hidden in a hidden place in the mountains, and a series of traps were set up among the mountains, and a large number of explosive leads were laid, so that they could use the imperial edict of the jade seal as bait to lure the rebels into the trap and wipe them out in one fell swoop; 'The flood discharge channel was completely submerged under the water surface.

But now that a hundred years have passed, the "rebellious ministers" of the past have already established themselves in the country for several generations; the denseness of the past should have been buried deeply with the ten thousand hectares of blue waves, and there will be no day for overturning the waves.They changed their surnames, changed their names, and even became a martial arts family for generations, teaching their children and grandchildren to practice martial arts but not in politics, and always occupying the Yan, Ye, Shang, Ma, Caohe waterways and the black and white roads in the east of the Yangtze River;

That building carried everything and all the truth back then, and in the underground palace below were those imperial gift certificates that could no longer see the light of day. Waiting, it seems that there is no need to wait...

An old saying is like turning over a history book, but it is nothing more than unofficial chat, joking and nonsense; but it is only a few sentences, which seem to be meticulously written by a historian, and I can't bear to embellish it.But those who heard it were silent, and for a while, the air was as quiet as a drop of ink with a pen, condensed and silent.Now the head of the Xia family is Xia Xingmian, who is the youngest and most eccentric among all the people, and he is also the most impatient. He has reached the limit of his patience, and when he finished speaking, he looked around and no one spoke, so he should speak first: " Although I know all this, but now I directly ask, Grandma Huang, do you mean that if the drawing of the twelfth floor is sent by the North, our family used to be a matter of the old minister Tuogu in the previous dynasty? Does that mean they have a clue?" He spread his hands, "So what are you afraid of him doing? 100 years have passed, and the building has collapsed, so they can still arrest us and report to the police?"

"Nonsense!" The old man knocked on his stick, but before he could shout, Li Yusheng, the head of the Li family, jumped up, pointed at him and cursed, "What do you know, you little brat? The whole family is ruined. At the beginning, the ancestors naturally had their own reasons, but now that times have changed, who wants to be a lonely minister for that kind of thing, and lose the lives of more than a thousand members of the whole family in vain?"

Yuchi Yujun couldn't help but said: "It's obviously a few tacit rules, each of which is stuffy. It's been 100 years, and even the righteous master on the side of Guichan Mountain has lived in peace for a hundred years, and never took this as an embarrassment. We, why did the Yanzhou faction make trouble? Are they still talking about promises?"

Suddenly a clear voice came from outside: "——As long as the children of the twelve families come to see me with the seal letter of Yanzhou Guixing and the patriarch, and order me to return the atlas... I will have to obey the order, and naturally it is not a violation of the rules."

Everyone present changed their expressions: What's going on?Knowing that today's conversation is a big matter, it is obvious that disciples with high martial arts skills in the clan have been guarded everywhere; at this moment, the porch is closed, and they are just talking in the hall.Wan Mujin shouted: "Who is outside?"

There was a giggle from above, and I saw two thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys and girls climbing silently on the rafters of the corridor. At this time, they fell down in front of the hall with their arms stretched like apes. No one knew when they went up. ; a man of modest stature, luxuriously dressed, with a pair of burning eyes that made him look young and unrecognizable, walked into the middle of the hall with his cuffs tied up, his hands were more eye-catching than others, his wrists There are two spike chains on it, and the ten fingers overlap in front of the body. They are as tall as green onions, densely covered with calluses, and are well maintained, and each nail has been carefully polished.I am afraid that there will be no second person in the whole world who is more skillful than him: he is the last master of the Yanzhou School, Bei Yanzhou.

He is a rare commodity right now, and he is an extremely important bargaining chip in the hands of the northern faction; behind him, there are naturally a group of northern faction masters, surrounding the twelve sect halls.Most of the disciples in charge of guarding the outside had already been hit on the acupoints before they even made a move, and could only watch helplessly as a group of uninvited guests walked in.All the elders of the family in the hall stared at the person coming, and the young people stood up in unison.Someone shouted: "Why, coming here without invitation and eavesdropping on other people's private meetings without authorization is the well-known northern school's Jianghu rules?"

The young boy who had climbed on the beam earlier grinned, cupped his hands and said, "I asked the messenger to come over three times to explain this in detail a month ago, but we haven't received a reply for a long time. Mr. Bei will come first." He replied neatly and politely, but he was too righteous to be unreasonable.

The members of the Twelve Family immediately turned their eyes to Bei Yanzhou.Yuchi Yujun said: "Mr. Bei, the Yanzhou faction has nothing to do with the century-old matter. Although you are younger...you can act...ahem, but...how can you betray the century-old reputation of the Yanzhou faction? Rannuo... hand over the map to outsiders?"

Bei Yanzhou smiled wryly on his face, shook his head and said, "First of all, I didn't hand over the atlas, and all the atlases sank in the water together with the island. Secondly, the person who came to ask me to rewrite the atlas did indeed possess the The star, the seal of the patriarch, and a piece of original woodcut in the twelfth floor are evidences-we only kept this map on our behalf, and now the time limit has expired. If you take out the original woodcut involving secrets, I will have to do my best to restore it. "

Wang Keng's face became more and more purple, and he shouted: "Nonsense! I have already investigated carefully. The patriarch's seal and Gui Xing were stolen and thrown away by the bitch at the beginning. How could it appear again? What is the original woodcut? It’s not something that anyone can pick up and use, have you figured it out yet?”

Bei Yanzhou said: "That's natural. A girl from your Wang family showed it to me at first."

Wang Keng immediately knew that it must be Wang Yi, and he was furious in his heart. He frowned and said, "Can you listen to what a woman says? That little whore has always had affection for us and raised her so big for nothing. But she stole something, killed the former patriarch, and now she died for no reason! Could it be true what she said?"

Bei Yanzhou ignored him, and said calmly: "If you don't count, then don't count; she didn't ask me to give her the map. But later...someone took these things and asked for a secret woodcut from the twelfth floor. Me. It is for me to send a century-old reputation, Qianjin Rannuo... I can't break the oath, so I have to copy the map in my mind to him. As for what he will use it for and who he will show it to...then there is nothing I can do to help .”

Wang Keng was furious. He searched for the patriarch's seal but couldn't believe it. He heard that someone took the seal and used his name to do such a thing. How could he bear it? , do something like betraying your ancestors?"

Another voice answered, "It's me."

Everyone hurriedly followed the prestige, but they were taken aback. They saw a broad-shouldered, tall, handsome young man with sharp brows stepping in from the door. Just by looking at his strenuous strides, he knew that his foundation was quite solid, and he was a trainer who had put in a lot of hard work. My son, the kung fu must not be bad, and one can tell at a glance that it is indeed the foundation of the martial arts of the twelve schools; but he was stunned, the dozens of people in the hall were all teachers who were in charge of martial arts affairs, but there was not a single one. People can recognize who this young man is.Judging from his tone, he definitely thinks he is a junior from the Twelve Family; but he did come with people from the Northern School.

Suddenly, Wen Changchun, the patriarch of the Zuowen family, saw the clue from the gap between his eyebrows, stood up in surprise and asked, "You...you are Fang'er...?"

The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, cupped his hands and said, "My cousin still remembers me. My nephew is sent by Wen Fang."

"You...you have disappeared since the burning of the building five years ago, and you haven't even sent a letter for so long... The family is in a state of panic... If it wasn't for the letter from Gangzhu Tang...you are so kind How could your child get involved with these people?!" Wen Changchun widened his eyes and hurried to his side, seeing that he was almost a head taller, and his whole body was firmed up, with his childish face The outline of the skeleton is fully grown at this time, although it is not completely green, but it really looks like a man who has struggled in the rivers and lakes, he can't help but feel happy and worried, put his hands on his arms, But he couldn't continue to shoot as if he was afraid of breaking him; his expression gradually turned serious, "What the demon said just now is true? It's you...you took the seal...? Fang'er, you know what you're doing What? Where's the map?"

"The seal is with me." He smiled slightly, "Don't worry, uncle. The old scars have been uncovered, so you don't have to hide and put on a show. It may not be a bad thing."

But Wang Keng said coldly: "What are you? A family thief who dares to steal the patriarch's seal and falsely pass on the will and genealogy to seek glory. How can you speak here?"

"Uncle Wang Ershi's words are amazing." Wen Fang sent. He took out the seal from his arms and tossed it up and down like a plaything in his hand. There is no final decision on the new patriarch's will. If the family is to be re-elected, the original twelve patriarchs will be held on the twelfth floor. Now that the twelfth floor has been destroyed, naturally there is no way to hold the ceremony. What's more," he took out that piece of blackened wood, which was exactly the piece of wood that Wang Yehai brought back from the twelfth floor, with a vaguely damaged name on it. "According to what you said just now; the names of the people on the tablet in our ancestral hall, and the family tree traced back at home... are all fake."

Wang Keng couldn't sit still, his head was dripping with sweat, and his swollen fingers pointed tremblingly: "What do you mean? You mean I can't sit in this seat, just kidding, should I let you sit? What ability and qualifications do you have, dare to speak wild words?"

Wen Fangji changed the topic, "Uncle Shi, your skin is swollen and you are sweating profusely. It must be caused by practicing "Dragon Picture" but you can't resolve the backlash. If you continue to go crazy, it is probably hard to save. "Every time he said a word, the faces of Wang Keng and the people around him became more and more ugly; some people around showed strange expressions, and some looked at each other, "Little nephew has a way to resolve it, but the book "Dragon Picture" in your hand "Essence", how did I get it, what are the key points, and which key points have been practiced, and I have to tell them all, so that I can figure out the gap and prescribe the right medicine."

"You...! You are a threat! How dare you threaten me?! You are a brat with no hair on your mouth..." Wang Keng shouted angrily, but when he spoke, he felt that everyone was watching, like a light on his back; He lost his confidence and couldn't continue cursing.After all, his own body also understands very well that this life-saving straw is thrown in front of his eyes, and he can't pick it up, and he won't pick it up.

Wen Fang wrote: "If Uncle Shi wants to be an important responsibility for the whole family, it is better to treat illnesses as soon as possible."

It was only then that Wang Keng realized that this kid was not a good idiot, he did not know where he got the handle, and he borrowed the power of the Northern faction, and he was forced to come back when he came back!
