Heaven is like a man

Chapter 3

"Kill you, a wild child who has no father, no mother, no one wants, slightly slightly, come and catch us!"

"Good boy, don't listen to them, our family Yihang is not a child nobody wants, you and Uncle Li and me..."

"Hmm...Uncle Li, I won't cry, I'll be quicker, and I can scold them all back next time..."

"Short, Zhou Ziyi, riding a bamboo horse, falling over...hahaha"

"Don't laugh, I, Suhang Xiaobawang, don't allow you to bully Zhou Ziyi!"

"Xu Yihang thank you, can we be good friends?"

"Uncle Li... Ziyi... Where are you going? Don't go, don't go!"

"Don't go," Xu Yihang yelled, finally waking up from the nightmare.After looking around, he found that he was lying on the bed in the inn, and his back was soaked in cold sweat.

Xu Yihang felt dizzy, and patted his forehead with his hand, recalling what happened last night was like waking up from a big dream.

Yu Huai was sitting not far away thinking, when he saw Xu Yihang wake up, he got up slowly and walked to the bed.

Yu Huai looked at Xu Yihang and said with concern: "You're awake."

"Where's that person from Tianmo Palace? I...I'm going to kill him," Xu Yihang said through gritted teeth, half propped up, and wanted to get up from the bed unsteadily.

Yu Huai stepped forward to support Xu Yihang, and replied with a blank expression: "I have asked Zi Yuan to take that person down for interrogation. But last night, none of us clearly saw the jade in the hands of the person from the Heavenly Demon Palace. It might not be that simple."

Xu Yihang stared at the person in front of him for a long time, and gradually calmed down, as if Yu Huai's rationality would never be influenced.

Just when the two fell into silence, Zi Yuan pushed the door open and said carelessly:

"Young Master, Young Master! What does the grievances of that brat have to do with us? Why are you so concerned?"

Yu Huai: "Girl, don't be silly, tell me what you asked about?"

"Young Master, how could it be so easy to ask something?" Zi Yuan complained, "That day, the subordinates of the Demon Palace admitted that they really came for the Jade Bi, but he was directly under the orders of the Flame Dancer and didn't know what to do. specific purpose.

That day when they saw the young master of the Zhou family leaving with a jade bi, they decided to take advantage of the darkness.But when they went to the Zhou mansion, they found that someone had already taken Ren and Yubi away, which was not their fault after all. "

Xu Yihang also listened to Ziyuan's words, and it turned out that Yu Huai had already dealt with him more properly.

After Ziyuan finished speaking, she happened to see that the brat she was talking about had woken up, so she couldn't help but continued:

"Yo, brat, you're finally awake. You slept comfortably, and we had a hard time worrying about you last night."

Xu Yihang had just experienced a farewell to his dearest relatives, and Ziyuan, a girl, was outspoken, and she didn't know what hurtful words she would say.Yu Huai hurriedly stopped her with an orderly tone: "Zi Yuan, stop talking."

Ziyuan glanced at Yu Huai's face, pouted again, and didn't continue talking.

Then Yu Huai turned to Xu Yihang and asked, "Xu Shaoxia, have you ever had any grudges with disciples from Tianmo Palace or other sects?"

"Enmity?" Xu Yihang thought for a while, "I have lived with Uncle Li in this remote Suzhou-Hangzhou town since I was a child, and I have never been involved in any Jianghu affairs. How can I have any enemies?"

"Then this is too strange, why would people from Tianmo Palace go to the south of the Yangtze River for a piece of jade, and there are even some people who rush to act before Tianmo Palace takes action.

This matter now seems to be full of doubts, and I don't know what Xu Shaoxia's plan is next? "

Xu Yihang couldn't figure it out, and felt his mind was in a mess: "I haven't had time to think about the future, and now I only plan to bury Uncle Li first."

Relying on the fate of meeting by chance, Yu Huai chose to go with Xu Yihang to bury Uncle Li, but Zi Yuan had no choice but to follow.

After Xu Yihang returned to the house, he dug for a long time until his hands were covered with dirt before he buried Uncle Li.Yu Huai found a wooden sign, carved a few words for Xu Yihang, and stood firmly aside.

Overnight, he lost Yubi, lost his playmates from childhood to adulthood, and even lost his dependent Uncle Li.Xu Yihang only felt a emptiness in his heart.

"Master! We've wasted too much time in this poor place, when will we continue our journey!" Zi Yuan at the side felt bored and said something to Yu Huai impatiently.

Yu Huai ignored Zi Yuan, but said to Xu Yihang: "Xu Shaoxia, I heard last night that your jade bi is related to Tianfang Palace.

And Ziyuan and I are going to Tianfang Palace to visit relatives, if you don't mind, we can go together. "

After hearing Yu Huai's words, Ziyuan opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief.Looking at his young master, he couldn't help interjecting: "Ah? Young master. We really want to take this brat to Tianfang Palace, aren't you joking?"

Ziyuan reacted quite a lot, but Xu Yihang was the one who was least afraid of troublesome others.Xu Yihang smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and deliberately looked at Zi Yuan to respond to Yu Huai: "Since your kind invitation, my little benefactor, then I will be disrespectful."

Ziyuan turned her head and had nothing to say, so she could only accept it resentfully.

That night, the three of them boarded the boat together and prepared to travel by water to Yangzhou City where Tianfang Palace is located.

The boatman punted the boat and steered the boat. With the cool breeze blowing in the spring night, the boat sailed along the current, and the scenery on both sides of the strait gradually opened up and boundless.A cloud in the sky was blown away by the wind, and the moonlight seemed to suddenly fill Wangjiang.

After bidding farewell to the bustling Suzhou and Hangzhou towns, Xu Yihang and Yu Huai lighted an oil lamp on the boat in a rare and leisurely manner, enjoying the cool breeze, drinking sake, and talking at night in the rivers and lakes.

Zi Yuan still sat next to the two with an angry face.

Xu Yihang took a sip of sake, looked at Yu Huai, and felt a burst of relief.Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he turned around and asked the boatman:

"Old man, I have stayed in Suhang Town since I was a child, so I don't know the world. You have seen a lot, and I would like to ask you about the current situation in the world."

Yu Huai also put down his wine glass and looked at the boatman, as if listening intently.

The boatman laughed loudly and said: "Young master, you are absurd, what I know is just some gossip about the world.

Since the young master is asking sincerely, I will know everything.But some of them are jokes after dinner, don't take them seriously, don't take them seriously..."

"Old man, don't be so condescending, just tell me, I can't wait any longer." Zi Yuan was already angry, but when she saw the boatman being so verbose, she couldn't bear her temper any longer, and urged her.

The boatman was still unhurried, punting the boat while talking eloquently.

"Today's martial arts can be divided into three main factions, one is the Heavenly Demon Palace, which is called the demon heretics by those famous and decent sects.

The second is the so-called upright sect headed by Tianxian Villa and attached to by all the sects.

The third is Tianfang Palace, Tianwumen is a sect that is both good and evil, and maintains neutrality in disputes. "

"Let's talk about the Heavenly Demon Palace first. The Heavenly Demon Palace is located in the north, and most of its congregants act cunningly and cruelly, and they often do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

More than 20 years ago, the sects of the famous orthodox sects had organized an action to encircle and suppress the Tianmo Palace, but Qi Tianping, the owner of the Tianmo Palace at that time, repelled the crowd with the world's best Heavenly God Art, and still preserved the Tianmo Palace.

After this battle, both the righteous and the evil were seriously injured, and it was considered to have temporarily maintained the stability of the martial arts.

Today's Tianmo Palace is managed by Qi Tianping's confidant Ren Jingzhi, and has the blessings of the four envoys of Tianmo Palace, and it is likely to make a comeback. "

When Xu Yihang thought of the Heavenly Demon Palace, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.

The boatman went on to say: "Let's talk about Tianxian Villa, where all the famous and decent sects follow their lead.

Tianxian Villa is located in the Central Plains Wulin, and the owner of the villa is Liu Zhan, who is known as "Linglongxin".Liu Zhan not only surpasses the martial arts world with a palm that reaches the sky, but also his kung fu is unmatched in the world, and everyone in the world respects him three points. "

A cold wind flowed across the lake, and the boatman could not help coughing: "And speaking of Tianfang Palace, Tianfang Palace happens to be in Yangzhou City, the end point of your trip.

Tianfang Palace is a major weaving factory of light gauze armor in Wulin.Among them, the rules are weird, for generations, women of the Su family have been in charge, and men in Tianfang Palace are only eligible to change their surnames to join the Su family.

Over the years, Tianfang Palace has been managed by Su Tianwei. Su Tianwei has always been indifferent to disputes in the world, and Tianfang Palace has been able to remain undisturbed. "

Listening to the introduction about Tianfang Palace, a trace of indescribable emotion flashed in Zi Yuan's eyes, but she just said impatiently: "Okay, okay, boatman, let's talk about the next one."

"The greatness of Jianghu is full of wonders, what about the last Tianwu Sect, Boatman?" Xu Yihang took Ziyuan's words and asked with great interest.

The boatman just wanted to speak, but the bright moon was covered by dark clouds again, and under the night, it started to rain.

Another gust of cold wind blew by, Yu Huai sneezed abruptly with his clumsy acting skills, then got up and said: "It looks like it's going to rain today, I'm afraid Xu Shaoxia will not accompany you."

"Ah?! Why did you just leave?" Ziyuan, who was in high spirits, was very surprised to see her young master behaving abnormally.

Xu Yihang didn't force it to hold any lingering feelings, but jokingly said with a smile on his face: "You don't have to be so unfamiliar, just call me Ah Hang next time."

Yu Huaidu had already walked to the front of the cabin, and when he heard Xu Yihang's words, he felt angry and laughed at the same time.He doesn't want to know how outsiders evaluate Tianwumen, but this rascal's thick-skinned temperament will definitely not appear in outsiders' evaluation of Tianwumen.

Just as Yu Huai was about to enter the cabin, he turned around and saw that girl Zi Yuan was still sitting on a chair with a serious expression on her face, waiting to hear the story of Tianwumen.

Yu Huai thought that I had walked away sensibly, but this girl still wanted to hear it.So he deliberately shouted to Ziyuan: "Girl Ziyuan, come in and make the bed."

Yu Huai obviously did not want Zi Yuan to continue listening on purpose, Zi Yuan's expectant eyes immediately dimmed, and she could only follow in the cabin dejectedly.

Xu Yihang looked at the backs of the two of them and smiled, thinking in his heart that the little benefactor had such a big reaction to Tianwumen, thinking that this relationship is either benevolent or enmity.

Then the boatman continued to talk about Tianwumen: "Tianwumen is the exact opposite of Tianfang Palace, Tianwumen is the foundry of weapons and sharp weapons in the world.

The Tianwu Sect has always had strict rules, and the head of the sect, Yu Jinjie, is stubborn but decisive, and he is also a character that is not easy to mess with. "

"Yu Jinjie?" Xu Yihang repeated, "The surname is Yu the same as my benefactor. Could it be that this benefactor is from Tianwumen?"

Boatman: "Today, Wumen still has a young young master. This young master is low-key and rarely shows up, but there are many rumors about him in the world.

Rumor has it that this young sect master is handsome and calm, with superb martial arts skills. Not only is he handsome, but he is also proficient in all kinds of weapons in the world. He can be said to be a young talent in this world. "

After listening to the boatman's description, Xu Yihang was suddenly stunned, and then he laughed again:

"It seems that some of the rumors in the rivers and lakes are true. By the way, boatman, do you know if this handsome young master has a marriage contract with a girl from a famous family? Or is he interested in a lady from a famous family?"

"My lord, you don't know this, the Tianwu Sect has always been strict in rules, and I heard that this young sect master has never been close to women, so how could there be any marriage contract?

However, what will happen after this day is uncertain.Young people are awesome, and I don’t want to accept my old age, it’s true that there are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years..."

Xu Yihang didn't listen to a single word the boatman said behind him, he just lay down leisurely, took a sip of his wine, and felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

Xu Yihang unconsciously stretched his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth, and let out a smirk, and then he didn't know who he was talking to: "I'm not a womanizer, so I still have a chance?"

The wind was getting stronger and the rain was getting denser. The boat was swaying in the waves of the Wangjiang River. I didn't know whether it was the boat shaking or the people getting drunk.

Xu Yihang got up slowly, picked up the jug with the last sip of wine left, and tremblingly came to the side of the boat.

The young man looked back at the flickering lights of Suhang Town, and poured his last sip of sake into the Wangjiang River.For many years, good or bad is uncertain, and it can be regarded as the last to pay homage to Uncle Li.

After the sake was drained, Xu Yihang looked at the last afterimage of Suhang Town with the strength of his intoxication, and couldn't help feeling sad: "The mountains surround the homeland...the surroundings are all around, the tide beats the empty city...the lonely return."

After saying that, a low-pitched male voice came from the cabin: "The sea is under pressure and the bamboo branches are lowered, and the wind blows the corner of the mountain to make it dark."

Seems like he heard it but didn't seem to hear it, after a while Xu Yihang also lay on the bed and fell asleep.Still muttering: "He understands me..."

Since then the boat has passed away, Jiang Hai sent the rest of his life.

The author has something to say:

"Talented people come out from generation to generation, each leading the coquettish for hundreds of years", from Zhao Yi's "Five Poems Part Two"

"Mountains surround the homeland and surround the country, the tide beats the empty city and returns lonely", from Liu Yuxi's "Five Questions of Jinling·Stone City"

"The sea presses down on the bamboo branches and lifts them up again, and the wind blows the corners of the mountains to make them dark again", from Chen Yuyi's "Watching the Rain"

"The small boat will pass away from now on, and the river and sea will send the rest of my life", from Su Shi's "Linjiang Fairy Returning to Lingao at Night"
