Chapter 188 Tianmu
1.
When he left the 6th Mansion, 6th Mansion went out to see him off. He still refused to go back until he left the Shaoxing Mansion for ten miles.
I said to him, "Stay."
6you said to me: "Brother Ji, I still feel guilty if I can't help you this time, I just hope you can understand your difficulties." He is really guilty. From his expression, I can see that he is actually struggling in his heart.
I don't want to force others to do anything, especially my past friends. I can't say anything about kidnapping others with friendship.
I smiled at 6 You indifferently and said to him: "There is nothing to be guilty of. When I find my daughter, I will ask someone to bring you a letter."
That day, the wind was very light, making people feel comfortable on their faces. I still remember the scene of 6 You standing on a low slope outside Shaoxing Mansion and sending me away. It was at that moment that I truly realized the helplessness of life.
2.
On the short and somewhat long road I left during the 6th tour, I had a brief conversation.
I asked 6you: "Why don't you see Tang Wan?"
6 You's eyes were particularly slandered. He told me that four years ago, the year when Xiaoyue and I left the world. Under the pressure of his mother, he sent Tang Wan out of the six families with a divorce letter.
I asked him why?
6 You shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "Because the fate is over."
I didn't ask more, nor did he say more. I knew that he was actually very painful inside. Li Xiaoqian and I had witnessed their relationship with each other, but life experiences are not something that we can wait. When You and Tang Wan were separated, I was not by their side.
I remember what Li Xiaoqian said when he visited Tang Wan in Ye. He once said to Tang Wan extremely firmly, you will not have a good result.
At that time, I thought it was Li Xiaoqian who could not get the curse now.
From this point of view, this is not a curse. Perhaps the sad love between 6 You and Tang Wan has really been recorded in history, and Li Xiaoqian, nine hundred years later, knows this story.
I suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Li Xiaoqian. If Li Xiaoqian, who seemed to be unruly, had really had deep love for Tang Wan, and if Li Xiaoqian knew everything, then it would be so frustrating to watch his beloved person step by step towards an ending that was unsuccessful and powerless, it would be so frustrating.
So, I can understand him too. He knows the ending of everyone, but he doesn't know his own ending.
But now he knows.
Because, he became Li Zui and his ancestor. Twenty years later, he will be the richest person in the Song Dynasty.
After saying goodbye to the 6th trip, my heart was mixed and my thoughts were extremely confused.
Yu Shisan asked me: "Where are we going next?"
This question has been asked countless times by me, and I feel it is extremely difficult to answer. But this time, I have a very clear answer.
This seemingly inconspicuous answer drove me to that ending.
I said: "Tianmu Mountain."
3.
Outside Lin'an Prefecture, Tianmu Mountain.
Four years ago, five major sects in the world gathered here.
They took the opportunity of governing the affairs of the world and forced the court to compromise. The emperor issued an order that the way of martial arts is the story of the ancestors and should not be abandoned, so they rebuilt martial arts, just like the old system. As a result, the world was exchanged for freedom without restraint for four years.
This time, I don’t know why I chose Tianmu Mountain.
At that time, these three words were just blurted out. However, it was because of the three words that blurted out that the foot of Tianmu Mountain was overcrowded.
When Xu Shisan and I arrived at Tianmu Mountain, thousands of people had gathered at the foot of Tianmu Mountain. They were ragged and unkempt, and were all beggars.
Among the group of beggars, someone shouted: "The leader is here."
Then, I heard a shout like the wind: "See the leader of the gang." Then, I fell to my knees.
You may feel nothing if you are kneeling down by someone. But when you are kneeling down by a group of people... I think not many people can resist the surging spirit brought by this mountain-like momentum.
I was shocked.
Even when I was the leader of the martial arts world, there were not so many people who had bowed to me.
Yu Shisan was also quite surprised.
He might not have thought that a person who had been with him for so long would suddenly receive so many worships. Moreover, it was a group of beggars.
I said softly: "Get up quickly."
The person in front heard it and shook his body to stand up. The person behind saw the person in front standing up, almost at the same time, stood up with a loud noise, mixed with a long sigh of relief.
Just when I was a little at a loss, a slightly familiar figure came from the beggar group. He squeezed out of the crowd, looked up, and smiled brightly at me.
This person was Ming Shaozhong who was rescued by me and Yu Shisan in Shaoxing Mansion a few days ago.
I asked him, "Why are so many people coming?"
Ming Shaozhong said: "The gang leader asked me to pass the order, so I passed it to the brothers in Shaoxing. The brothers continued to spread the news, one spread to ten, ten spread to hundreds, and the brothers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang all came. There were also a few brothers who came from Fujian and Jiangxi. After hearing the news from the gang leader, they were all excited."
I said, "What did you say to them?"
Ming Shaozhong said: "I just said that the gang leader is back and I want to lead the brothers of the Beggars' Sect to live a good life."
"You!" I was so angry that my seven orifices were filled with smoke. This seemingly loyal and kind-hearted Ming Shaozhong dared to falsely pass on the "ethic order" to slander my intentions, and to help me spread it.
Ming Shaozhong was a little nervous and asked me softly: "Gangmaster... Did you say the little one wrong?"
He said nothing wrong. Taking them to live a good life was what I promised Bai Jingxing back then, but I didn't do it. Now, I should indeed fulfill my promise back then.
But, it was not the time for me to meet them.
I have to use them once to help me find out about Shu Yao and Yu Qing'er.
I took out two portraits from my arms. This portrait was painted by a painter after Yu Shisan and I walked out of Shaoxing. He offered a price of 100 taels and claimed that he was very imaginative.
At first I was skeptical. But when the painter put Shu Yao and Yu Qing'er's voices and expressions on the paper based on the descriptions of me and Yu Shisan, I was deeply impressed by his considerable painting skills.
His paintings were vivid and comparable to those of real people. Yu Shisan and I touched the portraits of their relatives, and we couldn't help but burst into tears. When we raised our hands, we were covered in ink.
Helplessly, I could only spend another hundred taels and let the painter make another one.
...
I handed the portraits of Shu Yao and Yu Qing'er to Ming Shaozhong and said, "You ask them to help me find out about these two people."
Then, I saw Ming Shaozhongluo
A look of surprise and disappointment. I added: "Anyone who can provide me with clues will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver."
Five hundred taels.
As soon as these three words were expressed, a large group of people rushed to snatch the portrait in Ming Shaozhong's hand in order to get up. Ming Shaozhong raised the portrait well and shouted: "Don't grab it, don't grab it, be careful to break it!"
However, in this way, there is still no way to stop the beggars coming one after another like a wave.
Finally, Ming Shaozhong pushed the people around him away and hung the portraits of Shu Yao and Yu Qing'er on the tree, allowing everyone to watch them one by one.
When many people pass by the portrait, they can't help asking: "Who is this? It's actually worth 500 taels of silver. The imperial prisoners of the court are only 100 taels."
Ming Shaozhong explained tirelessly: "It's the person you are looking for by the gang leader. Just go and look for it, don't ask too much."
Finally, the lively Tianmu Mountain returned to tranquility. I was watching the falling sunset in the chirping of insects.
Soon! I think that after a dark night passes, it should be a glow of hope.
4.
On July 20th year of Shaoxing, Gengwu, the sky was covered with clouds, covering the sky and the sun, and it seemed that heavy rain was coming.
The morning after Tianmu Mountain, Chaoyang did not arrive as expected.
Yu Shisan and I stayed on Tianmu Mountain for a night. That night, I popped up more than 60 stones at Yu Shisan, and he blocked them one by one.
His progress was indeed very fast.
It has only been half a month since I first taught him how to practice swords by using the stone-striking method. In half a month, Yu Shisan's reaction has become more and more sensitive. The sword he swung was calm and powerful, both steady and fast. Compared to me back then, he was many times stronger.
Once, Yu Shisan and I passed by a forest. He said that he heard the sound of branches and leaves breaking in the distance.
I said, I didn't hear it. I thought he had produced some hallucinations, but when I was about to say it, a branch with arms long fell from a tree a hundred meters away. At that time, I quickly said that Yu Shisan would definitely pass me. Perhaps, in some aspects, he had passed me, but we were not aware of it.
It was about to rain. Yu Shisan's sword was even more fierce.
With a "boom", a bright white streak passed by the dark clouds as black as ink. I felt that Yu Shisan's sword passed by like that bright white streak. A green light flashed, and a deep scar was hung on the tree beside him.
Yu Shisan looked at it in a daze, and a smile suddenly rose on his face. He said, "Can I learn the eleven sword moves?"
I said, "No."
Yu Shisan said: "Why must we catch 113 stones? Can't we lose some?"
I asked him, "Are you afraid of hard work?"
Yu Shisan said indifferently: "No. I'm just afraid that your hands will hurt."
My fingers really hurt. I feel that if I continue practicing like this, the day when his martial arts is achieved may be the time when my fingers are disabled. I threw away the remaining stones in my hand, stood up, and looked at the vast Lin'an City not far away, and felt a lot of emotion.
Lin'an.
I'm back to this place again.
Four years have passed, and this city has been in my dreams for many times. It has brought me a lot of painful memories. However, those memories are still shining on me by such a person and a woman like the bright sunshine.
I think it's time to see her.
