Three Masters' Sword

The battle to rebuild the twelfth floor was like a temple fair, and it was nothing more than the groundbreaking and beating of gongs and drums. The people of Chun'an and Lin'an counties heard the rumors and spread it to ten and ten, and it became a sensational big event. For a good deed, he actually asked the village to open a water and land Taoist temple and perform a great ritual; at the end, he had to inscribe a stele and pass it on, collected charitable funds, and recruited volunteers to help.If you refuse, they will jump up as if they have been greatly wronged: How can there be no name from my hometown for such a thing that has benefited thousands of miles? !You guys are just trying to focus on trapping me, which is tantamount to injustice, no, no, absolutely no!

People who practice martial arts are good at fighting, but when it comes to citing scriptures and bickering, they are not opponents at all. Seeing the other party bring out the mottled history books and citing extensively to confront them in court, I can clearly feel what it means to have a long mouth. I just feel a headache Want to tear apart, one mouth is not worth [-] mouths and earnest and sincere eyes, can't tell if there is suffering, and can't really tear the face, so I have to let them go.

Not to mention there are Jinshi candidates from the same place, some gentry who have mixed with famous names, and celebrities who are officials in the court. .The time and noon are the most important thing for farmers, because the construction period is seized in winter, so as not to delay the farming work; in the beginning of spring, even the new play has been scheduled, and twelve families have to be invited to watch it.

This matter has become like this, the northern faction naturally can't comment on it, even if you know what you are doing to build this building, you can't beat the gongs and drums to say it.Wen Fangji was caught in the midst of being unflattering both inside and out, and listened to the show with a black face.Wang Qiao listened to them with an embarrassing smile that wished he could get into the belly of the table. The scholars still had some ink in their stomachs, so they didn't talk about him in the court disputes involved, so as not to get into trouble. County's fate book;Teacher Shen invited the heavenly soldiers and generals, and then the Dragon King, who moved the water away.I saw that the stage was colorful, fighting and killing, but it was also pretty.It's just that Wang Qiao felt that if Mr. Shen could hear this by himself, he might have to tear up the script.But when he clasped his palms together, that person was like a wisp of smoke, a wisp of dawn dream, once blown away, he could not be found again.Why doesn't he want to show up again?But if you want to look into this, I actually don't understand why he appeared in the first place.If, as the saying goes in the play, the dream is entrusted to the ghost, then has the wish been fulfilled now?Can he really hear these ceremonies and prayers and cigarette blessings, and give him a ride?

At the end of the story book, it is routine to sing praises to the good people who advocate today. Wen Fangji couldn't bear it, and went away. Wang Qiao rode leisurely and followed behind. Why follow me?" Wang Qiao said with a smile, "Why did you develop a firecracker, and I just happened to be on the way, who will follow you?" Wen Fang wrote, "I'm going to look for Yanzhou, don't follow me." Wang Qiao said : "Coincidentally, I'm also going to look for Yanzhou, why not go all the way."

Wen Fang ignored him and urged the horse to go faster, but the laborers carrying wood and soil beside him shuttled back and forth, and they really couldn't let the horse run fast, so they had to say with a cold face: "I taught you not to spread out! Do you think Others don't know what your intentions are? If you want to make things big, then the handle is not the handle. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the northern faction can't violate chivalry, so you have a reason. But the way is one foot tall, the devil is one foot tall If people had counted on you long ago, at this time, retreat is the best way to advance..."

But Wang Qiao interrupted him, and said with a smile: "You also know that I am Tao, and they are demons."

Wen Fang sent him to hold his tongue, and immediately blushed: "I just said it casually...!"

"No, you actually know it. The taste of that Gu must not be very pleasant, right?" He recounted lightly, put the bridle on the horse, and bumped up and down with the hillside road, "But compared to physical pain, it tortures you more. It’s actually the part of you inside.”

Wen Fangji didn't say a word for a long time, and suddenly called out: "Brother Qiao." Before his voice fell, the cicada-winged sword had been unsheathed silently, and he put his finger on Wang Qiao's throat. It was really as thin as a cicada's wing. It was transparent and nothing, but if the stupid horse under his crotch took one more step forward, the tip of the sword would stab his throat right across.

"I can kill you now. Although this matter will become more and more chaotic, it may not be impossible to turn around..."

Wang Qiao smiled wryly and said: "You'd better save yourself, Mr. Bei, save your head and bald head; besides, first of all, you may not be able to kill me, and secondly, Yanzhou treats you well. Did the Wen family starve you? Let’s make some sense—you actually understand it yourself, otherwise why are you so entangled? On my side, I’m pretending to be a fox, while the Northern faction is pretending to be a traitor, and Yanzhou’s side, you still have to hold on. Ah, how about—" He suddenly turned his wrist, and the horse under his crotch leaped forward, his two fingers were sticky, and he rushed towards the Shenfeng acupoint on his chest.With only a slight tilt of his head, the blade of the Cicada Wing Sword brushed past his neck and brushed the hair beside his ears.Wen Fangji hurriedly twisted his waist, pulled his fingers away with one hand, and said angrily: "Don't worry about it!" The sword turned upside down and cut along the ear bone.Wang Qiao flipped his palm and took the dust whisk from behind. With a stir of the filament, it was the nemesis of this long sword. Forgive you for having such a sharp and incomparably sharp blade, it would be like falling into a pool of mud, or like a moth into Dust net, no matter how you thump and chop it, you can't break it or throw it away, but it will become tighter and tighter.Wen Fang wrote: "I can't get rid of you, and you can't get rid of me. Let's compare our physical strength to see who will get rid of it first?" After saying that, he grabbed it hard.Wang Qiao said with a smile: "Compare...who wants to compare with you?" He turned the handle of the dust whisk upside down abruptly, piercing through the ebony handle, and slammed down the Xuanji, Zhongting, Yutang, and Jiuwei all the way to his chest very quickly. , the strength seemed empty but not empty, empty and not empty, and the acupuncture points that were tapped were half-empty and not solid, and they couldn't be hit by the method of punching the acupuncture points. It was extremely uncomfortable, and he said angrily: "Wang Qiao! You rascal... ..." Wang Qiao had already put away his fly whisk, patted his horse and drove over, and said with a smile: "The blood is blocked this way, I think your Gu will be hungry for a while, don't thank me!" Wen Fangji hurriedly chased after him: " You untie it for me... Do I want to do this?! I'm all for Yanzhou! I've told you not to get involved... Okay! Then we have to decide the outcome in an upright manner, and I'm not afraid of any Southern Pope... ..."

Wang Qiao sighed, and pressed the bridle, "I said, you like to pull on Yan Zhou for everything. It's all for Yan Zhou. Do you know what he thinks?"

"I...of course I do! I know he wants out,"

Wang Qiao looked at the village helpers who came and went to carry the soil and dig ditches, "Do you really know? For example, what is he doing now, and what does he think of you?"

Wen Fangji stiffened his neck, his face flushed red: "Why don't I know?"

"Okay then," Wang Qiao pointed to a ditch where the common people carried soil, "did he tell you why he dug a ditch in the mountain?"

Wen Fangji frowned and looked at Wang Qiao with an unreasonable expression: "Are you stupid? ... Why did he even tell me what he did to dig a ditch? Yanji is a wonderful thing. If I You all understand, don’t I become a Yanshi?”

Wang Qiao glanced at him, and gently let go of the topic: "Well, what you said makes sense."

Wen Fangzhi retorted: "Then do you know?"

"What, digging a ditch?"

"No! Who talked to you about digging ditches?! I brought you into the ditch!" Wen Fangzi rolled his eyes and said, "Your Sect Master Yu hasn't been with you for a few days. Stay away; do you know what he is doing now and what he thinks?"

Wang Qiao was stunned, and said a little embarrassedly: "Is there? No, why is he hiding from me? Oh, I'm so grown up, could it be possible that I can still be together all day long—"

Wen Fang sent a snort, and said, "You still pretend to come and train me!"

Wang Qiao thought for a while, finally scratched his head, and decided to ask without shame: "Tell me, why... what is he thinking... huh?"

"If you help me untie the acupoints, I will tell you everything."

Wang Qiao knew that this acupuncture point was just to teach him a lesson. When the blood vessels in the Yin Wei were not flowing smoothly for a while, and when the Gu roots were hungry and restless, the host might feel quite uncomfortable.But in the end it is not a long-term solution, so after thinking about it, he said: "Tell me first, I will untie it for you if it sounds reasonable."

Wen Fangji frowned, and couldn't believe that he really didn't know. He snorted and said, "You really can't see it?! Because you have to use money to dispatch, your wife has brought the child, how do you let him deal with it?"

Wang Qiao was puzzled, and touched his nose: "Huh? What? I see that he likes to fight..."

"Sometimes I really don't know if you are really stupid or fake..." Wen Fangji never thought that he would have the role to teach him, and he was dumbfounded. "Of course he was thinking, if your wife and children know , Is he still a human being?... Heh, you are so busy that you don’t touch the ground, and you take your wife around to socialize, and you definitely don’t ask him what’s the matter, you’ve probably eaten all the food.”

Wang Qiao was suspicious, frowned and said: "No, I have a reason for this... I explained it to him... You say that such a smart and thorough person still uses me to repeatedly understand the benefits? "

Wen Fangji said impatiently: "Your wall of dung can't be broken, stop talking nonsense, let me untie it!"

The so-called authorities are obsessed, but bystanders are clear, isn't it just because you are in this mountain?It's just that others can't see through.Yu Yuqing was indeed avoiding Wang Qiao, how could he not?After receiving the letter, his wife escorted the car and brought the young master along, and it coincided with the new year's first month. The new daughter-in-law and Zheng'er had never seen these relatives or worshiped their ancestors, so they had to see them together wherever they went Well, the young master got a lot of money, and everyone praised him when they saw it.What is he in the middle of?Wang Qiao doesn't care about anything, and he doesn't care if he hears these things.But how many people look at him with greedy eyes. With his current status, such a family business, and such a wife, he, Wang Qiao, doesn't care about anything, just pretends to be stupid. .I don't know how many dirty words about myself and Wang Qiao have been poured into people's ears, but my son just listened quietly, smiled slightly, and never commented.

Yu Yuqing felt that they were stupid, and he also felt that he was stupid. He said to himself: That's just a puppet...she is fake, and I can see it now. One round, when he laughed, it seemed like a well-measured scale; but... sometimes he really felt a chill in his heart, as if a string in his intuition was tense, because Zheng'er was clamoring to play with him and pester him. When teaching Kung Fu, she watched from a distance under the verandah through the Chuanhuamen, as if she had seen through him and looked into his bones, and that expression made him feel like a thorn in his back.

"Brother——!" Zheng'er finished standing in a horse stance, threw himself into his arms, and stretched out his arms to hug him, "I'm done! Look at me! You don't even look at me...you're thinking What?"

"...It's nothing." He shook his head and shook his thoughts from his mind, and said, "Young master called me wrong, how many times have I said that? You can't call me brother anymore, you have to call me Uncle Qing."

Zheng'er blinked his eyes, what did he know as an older child, murmured in agreement, and whispered in his ear: "Then I will call you that secretly, so that no one else can hear it."

Yu Yuqing walked around the courtyard with him in his arms, and said with a wry smile, "Why are you so persistent...how am I like your brother? I'm from your father's generation..."

Zheng'er blinked his eyes, and said: "But that day my uncle praised me for being right, and he also said...it's a secret, somewhere...a secret." It was fun together, and he laughed inarticulately.

Yu Yuqing's expression changed, and he suddenly became alert, and tightened his arms around his waist: "Who told you...? Which uncle?"

The child can't remember, he has met too many people these days, many of them are not compatible, so he can only make vague gestures, "That fat uncle, he took me to meet a strange monk... He said he would Give me the New Year's purse, I'll go..." He thought for a while, then took out a pure gold and jade-encrusted longevity lock from his neck, "He gave me this!"

Yu Yuqing picked up the lock and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but tremble all over: This is different from the wishful ingot shape of the ordinary longevity lock, it is pierced and carved, and the lock cylinder is carved with double fish playing in the water, and the fish eyes are all carved out of jade beads.He turned over the back of the lock. Ordinary longevity locks are usually engraved with auspicious words such as "Longevity and Wealth", but this lock is engraved with the words "Huaiyu Jinlin".People who don't know about it will probably only think that this lock is ingeniously made, but he is naturally very familiar with this longevity lock, because when he was young, he had one that was exactly the same.

Zheng'er writhed in his arms, and said: "I don't want you to hold me anymore... You squeeze me so painfully..." Yu Yuqing didn't let go, and said sharply, "Who gave it to you? Who?! You take me to find him!" Zheng'er has always liked him, and thinks he is extremely powerful, and he is very obedient to himself, not as strict as his parents, but not as respectful as the servants at home.Now seeing his breath change suddenly, as if he was a different person, he was stunned for a long time, and he burst into tears with a cry of fright, crying as if he had been wronged by the sky, "You bullied me," he choked, "I want to tell you Ma'am, you bully me!" He kicked his short legs, turned around and ran away.

A voice suddenly came from the side: "It's me."

Yu Yuqing raised his head abruptly, and the first thing that caught his eyes was the man's obese figure, which was no longer normal for a martial arts practitioner. It was cold in the spring, but he was only wearing a single shirt, clutching a handkerchief, and his face was crimson. The color of pig liver is obviously due to the internal fire burning and the pulse condition being disordered.Yu Yuqing recognized this person, but he kept excuses for his illness every day, and he hadn't seen him a few times.He is Wang Keng, the current head of the Luling royal family. Now that I think about it, they should have met at the Bo family five years ago, but Yu Yuqing has no memory of it; I don't want to make more memories.

Wang Keng looked at him coldly, his eyes were like some kind of viscous venom, from which disgusting desire flowed out. "...Don't embarrass the child," he seemed to smile, with the fat on his cheeks shaking, "If you want to know, just come with me."

Yu Yuqing was not afraid of him, and followed him through the compound to the inner garden where Wang Keng temporarily lived.These days, they had never been to this part of the manor, because Wang Keng seemed to be determined to fight with them to the end, not letting them come to visit, let alone help him exercise his energy and adjust his breath, and it was useless to be persuaded by others.Only during the New Year's Eve, if you come out coldly to meet the ceremony, it's a formality; everyone can understand, after all, there is a young man who has not grown up, not to mention the previous feud between the two families, but now this visit Anyone who took the power of other patriarch was a bit bloody; if he didn't tear his face on the spot, it was already for Huang Gu's sake, and he gave face.

Yu Yuqing followed him into the inner mansion, and said coldly, "Why did you give him a longevity lock?"

Wang Keng said: "Why, isn't it only natural for the elders to lock the younger generations for longevity?"

Yu Yuqing shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk to me! What's the matter with the longevity lock, where did you get it?!"

Wang Keng said: "Actually, I didn't give it to you. Sect Master Yu, please be safe, and I will take you to meet someone." When he said this, he couldn't help laughing, "I'm afraid you will thank me later. It's too late."

Wang Keng led him around, and came to a very hidden inner room in the backyard. After confirming the signal, he pushed open the door. The room was filled with cigarettes, and the air almost turned gray, making it almost invisible; Dispersed slightly, I saw that the walls of the room, the table, the head of the bed... everywhere were filled with all kinds of gods and Buddhas of different sizes, which contrasted with a sense of strangeness.A thin middle-aged man was sitting curled up on the futon in the center. The moment Yu Yuqing saw him, he stood still as if he had been cast with a fixing spell. His lips moved several times, but he couldn't make any sound. Two lines of tears could not be stopped from sliding down; the man also saw him, and he staggered a step when he stood up in shock, the expression on his face changed again and again, ranging from joy to sadness, tears glistened in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to touch it but refused to touch it. Dare to touch him, "...Yu Qing..."

That familiar voice seemed to evoke countless memories of the past, and he heard a voice dragging from his throat: "...Dad..." Before the words fell, the two couldn't help but hugged each other, their stomachs Li obviously had countless questions and doubts, but at this moment he couldn't utter them all, and was overwhelmed by the ecstasy of missing his relatives: "Father——you are still alive...you are still alive!...you these years...why are you... ...why..." Why didn't you tell me?Why don't you go find Zheng'er?Why don't you come to me...?I have had people search all over you and there is no news about you, but why...why are you here?

Countless questions circling in his mind, merged into a sharp sword; he gradually calmed down, feeling as if a weight had fallen into his heart, and felt that the arms around him were trembling, and the embrace was cold. When they were talking to each other, his father didn't dare to look directly into his eyes; when his hands touched half of the mask on his face, he wasn't very surprised, he just said: "It's Daddy who is sorry for you... I have suffered for you..."

He held those wrists with his backhands, clenched them in front of him, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Father, come with me. Don't stay here... Let's go to the master of the house, and I will serve you. If you have any difficulties, let us wait Take it easy..." Yu Weigai broke free from his hand, and a frightened look flashed across his face: "No! You don't know...I can't go!...I've been hiding until today, just want to see it again Look at you, and your brother..."

Standing at the door, Wang Keng showed an inscrutable smile on his face, as if he was quite satisfied with the scene in front of him.

Yu Yuqing felt cold all over his body, and felt his teeth trembling, "...Father, tell me then," he slowly swept across the terrifying faces of various gods and Buddhas in the room, either benevolent or cruel, He gritted his teeth and said, "...tell me, the tragedy that happened back then...has nothing to do with you...? Right...?..." He slammed on the altar table, only to hear a click, and the table fell over, Two or three statues of Avalokitesvara and Ksitigarbha above were smashed to pieces, "Right!? Are you talking?!"

Yu Weigai hastily knelt down to the broken statue, as if he was terrified that the Buddha statue would explode and hurt people; but he didn't dare to face his son, he hesitated for a long time: "...Listen to me...Yu Qing,... ...There is a reason for this, you have always listened to Daddy the most...you have to forgive me...can you forgive me? Ah? You are on Daddy's side, right?"

"You... Father, you are the instructor of the martial arts gym at home... You are the master's brother-in-law... From the eldest master to the third young master, everyone is your disciple... You... I... the Wang family has What are you sorry for us?... I grew up with my third brother, and there is no difference in food and clothing... Even if you don't talk about the kindness of master and servant... can the days and nights of these decades be written off in one stroke? ?!"

"-I said I have my own difficulties!!!" Yu Weigai shouted unbearably, "The Wang family has kindness to you, don't I treat you?! How did you talk to your father! Do I... Did I do it willingly? How would I know... How would I know that it would end up like that?! It’s been five years, have I lived a comfortable life?! I can’t breathe, I can’t go home, I have relatives You can't rely on someone else, but you have a son but you recognize someone else as your father... Do you know how I feel when I hide in Tibet all day long?!"

Yu Yuqing raised his head, "Father, except for the third brother, all the hundreds of people in the family died... Only Zheng'er and I are fine, maybe it's not a coincidence?"

"I'm for you...all for you, Yu Qing, I didn't expect this to happen, I really didn't expect...it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be like this...I regret it too, I sincerely regret it Yes, I invited so many gods and Buddhas to save them..." He seemed to be lost in memory, "Do you know, with your ability, you could have found a famous teacher in Twelve's family, or you should have come to climb the building, they Those of the Wang family are all useless things... But they are the master, and you are the servant, and the master never lets you go to the meeting and go upstairs... I can't see you being useless in the Wang family for the rest of your life!!... My son... He is a character who can be a hero in the world, but why..." He showed a strange smile, "It happened to be destroyed in their hands..."

Yu Yuqing held his breath, put aside his churning heart and lungs, and knelt down suddenly, "Please, Dad, come with me, this matter will finally be settled... Let's go to the Patriarch, how many punishments will I have? I will do my best to bear it for you... Otherwise, what face will my son have to go to see the third brother, to see the innocent relatives who died in that catastrophe?"

Yu Weigai was trembling with anger, and stared: "You still know face? How can you have face?! You want me to bow down to Wang Qiao, why don't you stab me to death with a sword now, and pay for those innocent souls sooner? ! Obviously so many people died,...why wasn’t he the one who died?!”

Yu Yuqing couldn't believe it: "Father...you are confused..."

"I'm not confused! I was born to be an upright man, and I wasn't sent to be a face for child molestation!"

Yu Yuqing was terrified, as if his knees weighed a thousand catties, and he couldn't stand up anymore; his whole body was shaking, he felt his breath reversed, his eyes were red, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. "...I don't...we are...we are..." He has nothing to say, what are we?He finally whispered, "I did it all willingly...I tempted him...it's none of his business."

"Sickness!!! Shameless!!!" Yu Wei rebuked angrily, heartbroken, raised a slap, and slapped Yu Yuqing hard on the face.The half of the face was still intact, and the face was swollen immediately, and the other half of the mask also flew out, and the tangled face was full of gu roots because of the rising fire and unstable internal breath, which was terrifying; the scene was unprepared He fell into the eyes, and he was so shocked that he fell to the side, almost unable to lift up; Yu Yuqing hurriedly supported him, helped him to sit on the bed, and stretched his chest and vest for him; tears flowed unstoppably like broken beads When I smashed down, I felt empty in my heart, and I didn't know why I was crying.

It seems that this long-suppressed anger has consumed most of his energy, "...you go, I have no right to be your son," Yu Weigai gasped, pushed his hand away, his eyes were glued , slowly said, "I want my son... please let your master show mercy... I can't have both sons in his hands...that's my son..."
