Chapter 58: The Secret of Yuanhe
Le Yiyang hurriedly stood up and waved his hand to delay, "Senior Ge, this matter must not be done. I am a little talented and knowledgeable. I am ashamed of my martial arts." Ge Minshan said, "The "Yuanhe Secret Book" is a thing of the Shishi. Mr. Le is a descendant of General Lin, so how can he bear it? Furthermore, the young master went to Hengzhou this time to save the people of the world from the suffering of war. Is it because the young master disdained the full martial arts recorded in it?"
Le Yiyang said, "Senior Ge, I am not intimidated. I have already worshipped Yan Yun, a true master of Wuling Mountain. After learning her Huixu sword technique, if you are learning other martial arts, it may be criticized." After saying that, he told me about learning Huixu sword technique one by one.
After hearing this, Ge Minshan laughed and said, "Mr. Le is still a serious Confucian disciple. Although there are such words in the world, it is all unreasonable. The Gongzi learned Huixu sword technique and is good at defending, but if he wants to gain a foothold in the world, it is not possible to not learn a few attack techniques. Besides, only by understanding the strengths of others can one be unique. The young master doesn't want to stick to the rules all his life." Le Yiyang was ashamed and felt ashamed, thinking: "What Mr. Ge said makes sense. The mountains are high and the sea is deep. Only in this way can the martial arts world continue to innovate and the world will have vitality."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ge Minshan didn't know what he was thinking, and said, "Besides, if the martial arts in "The Secret Book of Yuanhe" were not passed on, how could he be worthy of Emperor Xianzong and His Majesty Huang? Now that the country is in decline and foreign enemies are in front of them, only by learning can you resist strong enemies. Please think twice." After hearing this, Le Yiyang slowly said, "The old seniors taught the most lessons, but there are so many talents in this valley, how can the next person be competent?"
Cui Xin heard the two of them talk for so long, and was impatient and said, "Mr. Le, the flowers are worth folding, so you should not waste the old man's kindness." Yuan Zhenzhen also advised: "Mr. Le is gentle and gentle enough to take on a great task, so why should you refuse again?"
Le Yiyang refused to accept the "Yuanhe Secret Book" and said, "I have learned your feelings. I have made up my mind to learn everything and serve the country. It is better to let the sages pass on this martial arts secret book." Ge Minshan said, "Young Master doesn't know anything. I have dozens of disciples, and only eight or nine of them have achieved success in learning. But they only learned the superficial skills in the "Yuanhe Secret Book". As for the profound internal skills, no one can understand it. I often think it is very good. When I met the young master today, hope ignited in my heart. Young Master Le is a hero and a descendant of heroes, and I deserve it!"
Le Yiyang still refused to accept Ge Minshan's gifts, and remembered his late parents, and said sadly: "I am willing to be taught today. If you act at all disobey your ancestors in the future, you will definitely be hit by the thunder of heaven." Ge Minshan shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Young Master Le is a rare person in the world. I am ashamed of myself."
After a moment, Le Yiyang remembered something and said, "Senior Ge, half of the gold and silk that was stolen by the Shatuo people that day has now fallen." Ge Minshan hurriedly asked for details. Le Yiyang told the story of the Miyun Cave and said, "That piece of gold and silk must have been snatched from Li Keyong's descendants. But outsiders did not know about it, and thought that the gold and silk fell into the hands of the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty after the destruction of the Later Tang Kingdom, so Tuoba Jiyu entered the palace to steal."
After hearing these things, Ge Minshan said righteously: "Shatuo, Dangxiang, and Khitan are all foreign tribes after all. If they are not my tribe, their hearts will be different. As long as the gold and silk are still in our hands, I will feel at ease." Le Yiyang said worriedly: "I am afraid that the secret of gold and silk will not be kept sooner or later." Ge Minshan nodded and said loudly: "For the past ten years, only occasionally people have entered the cave. Now that half of the broken gold and silk have left the Miyun Cave, it seems that the Secret of the Secret Valley will inevitably stir again."
Le Yiyang said, "Senior Ge, Lu Zhicheng is a humble gentleman and a decent person. He should not covet the treasure of the cave. However, Tuoba Jiyu has a mysterious way all the way. The younger generation is always worried that he will collude with the Khitan, so this person has to be guarded." Ge Minshan said, "Don't worry, Mr. Le, there are countless tigers and wild wolves here, and ordinary people may not be able to come in." Mr. Le glanced at Cuixin and smiled and said, "That's right. If Sister Cuixin and I were not avoiding the attack of the tiger, we would not be able to enter this cave, and we would not be able to see our seniors."
Ge Minshan laughed and said, "All this is arranged. Mr. Le, you and Miss Cuixin come from afar, but stay in the valley for a few more days." Cuixin clapped her and said, "Okay, grandpa, I'm just about to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the valley." Yuan Zhenzhen deliberately scared her and said, "Little girl, be careful that the tiger bites you." Cuixin pouted and said, "With Mr. Le being by my side, how can a tiger bit me?"
Le Yiyang and Yuan Zhenzhen looked at each other and smiled.
While everyone was talking, they suddenly saw a young man in green hurriedly coming in and whispering a few words in Ge Minshan's ear. Ge Minshan's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand to let him go out first.
Yuan Zhenzhen hadn't seen his master's expression for a long time and asked softly: "Master, what happened?" Ge Minshan said: "I don't know where the person came from, but he actually injured your two junior brothers." Yuan Zhenzhen raised his long sword and said: "Master, let's go and see. Who is so arrogant and dares to do anything wrong in the quiet valley?" Ge Minshan stroked his gray beard and said lightly: "Zheng'er, don't worry, Master, go with you." He turned his head and said to Le Yiyang, "Mr. Le, this is a cellar, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. The houses are all on it, so let's go up together."
Le Yiyang said, "Abide by the words of my predecessors." He muttered in his heart, was it Tuoba Jiyu who came?
Everyone left the cave together. Above the cave was a building built along the mountain, all hidden in the woods, with about a hundred rooms. Le Yiyang followed the crowd and walked several miles to a forest by a stream. At this time, it was already dark, and dozens of young men in green clothes surrounded him, each holding a torch in their hands. Ge Minshan and others walked in, and they hurriedly made a way. Le Yiyang looked closely and saw that the people they were trapped were Mei Jiutong and Zhai Jingyue.
Cui Xin ran over and shouted, "Brother Mei, Sister Zhai, are you okay?" Mei Jiutong said, "Fortunately, it fell on the haystack. Your Sister Zhai pressed on me, almost making me breathless." Zhai Jingyue didn't know what happened, and said in a slight angrily: "Jiutong, when is it, you are still joking." He said to Cui Xin again, "Why, you and Le Yiyang have also fallen into their hands?" Cui Xin shook her head and said, "It's not like this. Sister Zhai, it's hard to describe in any way."
While the two were talking, a young man in green clothes next to him said to Ge Minshan: "Master, these two people broke into the valley for no reason. The disciple was worried that they were not good for the master, so he asked the junior brothers to intercept them together. Who knew that they were unreasonable and actually injured the two junior brothers. The disciple originally wanted to compete with them to defend the master's respectful words..."
Seeing that he was talking very well, Zhai Jingyue was already angry and said, "You are so unreasonable. We fell off the cliff and were lucky enough to die. If you meet you, you will come up and make things difficult for us without saying a word. Fortunately, Brother Mei is very skilled in martial arts, otherwise how could we live until now!"
Le Yiyang already knew the reason and knew that the young man in green clothes was strictly guarding the valley by his master's order. Ge Minshan knew that he was in the wrong and didn't know how to answer, but he heard Le Yiyang say, "There are misunderstandings in this, but we are all a family, so we don't have to hurt our kindness for these things. I don't think so. I want to apologize to my two friends for the sake of this, so I will disturb you."
Ge Minshan had this step and said, "The matter has been made clear. Even so, I will not hold both parties accountable." He said to the young man in green, "Xian'er, take everyone down, strictly guard all the barriers, and do not allow anyone to come in. If there is any disobedience, you can punish them first and then report!" The young man agreed submissively, and glanced at Mei Jiutong and Zhai Jingyue, leaving unwillingly.
He is Ge Minshan's second apprentice named Zhang Yingxian. He passed by Yuan Zhenzhen and whispered: "Senior sister, that woman is very tricky and mean. You must be careful of her at any time." Yuan Zhenzhen smiled slightly and nodded to him. Yuan Zhenzhen turned around and looked at Le Yiyang, and saw that he was talking and laughing with the two of them just now, so he quietly left.
Zhai Jingyue asked Mei Jiutong: "Jiutong, look, this silly boy has different things. No wonder my sister fell in love with him at first sight." Mei Jiutong looked at Le Yiyang with approval and bowed and said, "Brother Le is indeed a two-way match." Le Yiyang replied modestly: "Brother Mei is over the award. You are fine, Cuixin and I are relieved." Cuixin also said, "Yes. Brother Mei, after you fell off the cliff, Mr. Le and I finally came down into the valley. As soon as we arrived here, many strange things happened."
Ge Minshan walked forward and said frankly: "Two young men, today we are destined to meet in the quiet valley. If you don't dislike it, you can stay in my village tonight." Le Yiyang and Mei Jiutong bowed and thanked: "Senior invite each other, I will accompany you."
The four of them followed Ge Minshan back to the village. When the owner made arrangements, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Le Yiyang lay alone on the wooden bed, savoring what happened today, as if he was in a dream. He tossed and turned, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. If what Ge Minshan said was true, then he was Lin Yan's great-grandson. The official history book described Lin Yan as an ungrateful villain, but in fact, it was to belittle the righteous army. After Le Yiyang understood this, he was extremely angry at the historians since the Tang Dynasty, thinking that in the future, he would definitely calm down his grievances for his great-grandfather. As he thought, Le Yiyang slowly fell asleep.
The candlelight in Ge Minshan's room was not extinguished overnight. Today, when he saw his old friend's descendants, he was naturally very happy. He also thought that he was nearly eighty years old and had little time left in this world, and he might leave at any time. In his heart, what he couldn't let go was the "Yuanhe Secret Book" on his body and the thousands of treasures in the stone chamber.
Ge Minshan lived in the Seiji Valley for a long time, and all the martial arts he learned were unknown at that time. Therefore, he founded the Seiji Sect and accepted dozens of young disciples. Ge Mingshan once thought about promoting peerless martial arts, but except for Yuan Zhenzhen and Zhang Yingxian and nine older disciples, other disciples were not very talented and it was difficult to pass on peerless martial arts. Yuan Zhenzhen was a girl after all, and one day she would leave him and stay in the Seiji Valley for the rest of her life. Ge Minshan was really unbearable. Zhang Yingxian was smart and talented, but he was scheming and had a little greed in the future. The other seven disciples had their own martial arts, but none of them had expressed their thoughts as the leader.
