When the sword comes out of Emei, I will be the front

Chapter 288 The Second Disciple’s Entrance, the Ghost Country Nuggets

When they arrived in Emei County, all the elders in the county learned that the head of Emei had returned and rushed to welcome him.

Many young daughters and even wives have been busy changing into new clothes for the New Year, dyeing their lips with red paper and wiping their faces to see what the Emei Jade Hero will look like when he grows up.

Mie Jie's sister-in-law has now moved to this county. When she learned that her sister had returned, she quickly changed into white clothes, and asked Fang Wen and Fang Wu to also change into mourning clothes. Mother and son, holding the "Pumpkin Hammer" Fang Taiping's spiritual tablet, Welcomed all the way.

When the county residents saw this, they all got out of the way.

Miejie saw it from a distance, jumped off his horse and walked forward quickly, kneeling down in front of the spiritual tablet in the street.

He said loudly: "Brother, my sister left the mountain and traveled northward for ten thousand miles. With the blessing of your spirit in heaven, she found the evil thief Xie Qian. My sister and her disciple Gu Hong killed him on Ice and Fire Island. It was considered a blessing. I avenged your bloody revenge."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fang shed tears and looked up to the sky and shouted: "Taiping, can you hear me? Our sister has avenged your great revenge for you. Your spirit in heaven can rest in peace."

When Fang Wen and Fang Wu thought of their late father, they couldn't help but raise their faces and burst into tears. Mrs. Fang shouted: "Why are you so stupid? Why don't you thank your aunt for avenging your father!"

The two people hurriedly came to worship Miejie. Miejie smiled, held up his palms, and extended two soft palm winds. Fang Wen and Fang Wu said "ouch" and stood up involuntarily, wiping their tears. He said in confusion: "Dear mother, it's amazing, our aunt has become a god."

At that moment, Ye Guhong followed Liu Ji home. The two chatted together and learned that it was Tang Gong who took care of the current residence.

Seeing Ye Guhong's behavior, Miejie was delighted and said in his heart: I have never taught him the etiquette of a virtuous corporal, but he seems to know it from birth. Isn't this the talent of a wise master?
He immediately said: "Yes, Gu Hong, Mr. Liu is a genius in the world. You should pay more attention to his housework and don't let him have any worries. If there is anything deficient, just tell my teacher and let him do it." ”

He had already expected that this would happen when he returned to the mountain, so he sent Zhang Qubing to Taohua Island with the intention of letting him avoid this incident.

As he spoke, he handed it to Fu Shi, who blushed and took it. He turned to Ye Guhong and said thank you, uncle.

Liu Ji felt happy and said quickly: "If this is the case, will this child be destined to be a virtuous younger brother?"

Ye Guhong winked at the child, Liu Lian chuckled, laughed, and reached out to Ye Guhong.

That person was Liu Ji. He also clasped his fists and smiled: "My dear brother, the word "Emei Jade Hero" is now spread all over the world. I have also heard about it in Shushan. I am afraid that the land of the Central Plains is even more boiling! My dear brother, you have With this reputation, it will be easier to achieve great things. Come on, Liu will follow you up the mountain to talk in detail. "

Then he hugged the child with one hand, took out a few bottles of elixirs with his left hand and said, "I came in a hurry, so I didn't buy any decent gifts. This is our Jiuhua Jade Dew Pill. My sister-in-law takes one pill every few days and it will last for a few months." Good energy.”

Mrs. Fu said quickly: "Uncle, please don't be too polite. Please get up quickly. Please forgive me for holding a baby in my arms and not being able to support you."

Otherwise, since he and Xie Qian have a deep love for each other as father and son, wouldn't this situation be embarrassing?

Taking a closer look, the blue brick mansion and pond garden, although not very big, are extremely elegant. Liu Ji also said that he was satisfied with his stay.

Ye Guhong took Liu Lian and felt that it was quite heavy. He weighed it slightly, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, sister-in-law, your son has a strong frame and bright eyes. He is born with good talents and beautiful jade. No matter how he studies in the future, Both literature and martial arts will achieve success."

Ye Guhong said with a smile: "Emei is about to be prosperous. Who can have too many good disciples?"

Ye Guhong stood up and saw a one-year-old child in her arms. She had a tiger-like head and a tiger-like brain, and her eyes were staring at Ye Guhong. However, it was Liu Lian, the eldest son of Liu Ji who came to Emei.

Ye Guhong stood behind Miejie and sighed to himself.

Before entering the house, Liu Ji called his wife Fu Shi to meet Ye Guhong. Ye Guhong fell to the ground and said that he had met his sister-in-law and called him his younger brother Guhong.

Liu Ji burst out laughing. Seeing that his wife was too embarrassed to pick it up, he reached out to take it and said with a smile: "Gu Hong is not only my good brother, but also my confidant. I will be his mastermind for big things in the future, and he will do it again." Master Lian'er, we are all from the same family, no matter what good things I give you, it doesn't matter if you keep them."

Just as he was sighing and shaking his head, he suddenly saw a person standing smiling in the crowd. He immediately laughed out loud, walked quickly, bowed his hands to the ground, and laughed loudly: "Brother Liu, you are really a trustworthy person!"

Ye Guhong waved his hand and said: "No hurry, no rush, my husband's family is now settled in this county? I will go to see my sister-in-law, and then you and I will go up the mountain to discuss the matter."

Fu said in surprise: "It's strange. It shows that Uncle Ye's family is destined to our family. Lian'er has never been close to others, but today he actually wants his uncle to hug him."

When the township party members in the county heard this, they all laughed and said, "Master, don't worry. Mr. Liu is a distinguished guest of Emei. He has settled down in the county. Who in the county would not respect him?"

Liu Ji looked at Ye Guhong and smiled and said: "After all, medicine and martial arts do not separate families. Your sister-in-law has been weak since she gave birth to Lian'er. I am thirty-nine years old this year, and Lian'er's mother is also over thirty. She is only at this age. If you have a son, it’s like a baby, but it’s just a pain for your sister-in-law.”

Ye Guhong said: "Brother Liu, don't worry. This elixir from our sect is quite effective. After taking these few bottles, my sister-in-law's health will be better than before. Please work harder and give my disciple a few more babies." younger brother."

Liu Ji laughed loudly after hearing this, but Fu's face became redder and redder.

Liu Ji knew that her little family Biyu was shy easily, so he waved his hand and said, "You can go and hold the child while I talk to my good brother."

Fu Shi hugged Liu Lian and was about to go in when Ye Guhong suddenly said: "Sister-in-law, wait a minute." He took off his snakeskin belt from his waist, handed it out with the snake bone sword inside, and said with a smile: "I'll go ahead now. The Tatar Palace took back the master's treasure, the Soft Hedgehog Armor, and gave it to the eldest disciple Zhang Qubing. As a master, a bowl of water must be leveled. This sword was left by the sword demon of the previous dynasty and was swallowed by a strange snake. The snake bone divine sword, fused into one, can be regarded as a foreign object in the world, and it was given to me as a meeting gift this time. Haha, sister-in-law, children's eyes are the cleanest, so they are easy to attract evil, so my sister-in-law only gives them to me. This sword is hung on the wall of my disciple's bedroom to protect it from all evil."

When Mrs. Fu heard him talk about the origin of this sword, and that it was both a sword demon and a strange snake, she couldn't help but feel frightened, and was somewhat hesitant to take it.

When he heard the last word, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly took it and said happily: "To be honest with my uncle, everything is fine with this child Lian'er. It's just that I get frightened at night and cry incessantly. I've been thinking about it for the past two days." I went up the mountain to ask for some incense ashes from your sect. Now that I have my uncle’s sword, I will have no worries.”

Ye Guhong laughed in surprise, thinking that based on my master's ability in chanting sutras, the incense ash from our school would probably be no more useful than the mosquito repellent incense ash.

However, strange to say, the Fu family got the sword from Ye Guhong and hung it on the wall. As expected, Liu Lian no longer had any night terrors, and even mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches and mice were far away from them when they smelled the smell of snake skin. Stay away.

After Fu left, Liu Ji looked at Ye Guhong and sighed: "My dear brother gave Lian'er the sword he used to kill the enemy. This gift is too generous."

Ye Guhong said with a smile: "Brother Liu doesn't know something. He has practiced martial arts to the point where he is a stupid brother, and there is not much help from outside objects. Besides, if you can't rely on the sky, who can compete with you? Go back and find a master craftsman, and focus on casting this sword. It works for me.”

Liu Ji was shocked: "Did the Yitian Sword break?"

Ye Guhong then told him the story of Slaying the Dragon and Yitian, and what happened on Ice and Fire Island in detail. After hearing this, Liu Ji said with joy: "It's not unfair to say this! If you get Wu Mu's military book, it will be better than ten swords of Yitian." !”

Ye Guhong nodded and said with a smile: "But even without this military manual, Brother Liu's soldiers are not bad at training."

Liu Ji said sternly: "When it comes to military training, it's hard to say anything. We might as well go up the mountain now - after all, the master is still the leader. It is only polite that she should be informed about this matter."

Ye Guhong said decisively: "Okay, let's go up the mountain now, but Brother Liu, I would like to advise you, after you leave this door, you should keep the word "old man" in your stomach and never tell it to my master. "

While the two were talking, they left the Liu Mansion hand in hand and entered Emei that day. At noon the next day, Mie Jie was invited. Zhu Chongba and others were all seated in the hall. Liu Ji stood up first. , explain in detail what he has done in the past two years.

It turned out that when he was in Hanyang, he said goodbye to Miejie and Ye Guhong, then went home and moved his family with him. He traveled thousands of miles to Emei, took out Miejie's letter, and settled in Emei County, waiting for the return of his master and apprentice. .

After waiting for a year, Liu Ji decided to do something first when he saw that the two did not return for a long time.

So with Zhu Chongba and others, in the name of the Yi Miao rebellion and the need to establish a militia for self-protection, they began to recruit troops and built a team of about a thousand people, most of whom were children of Emei County and nearby villages. From then on, the three If you do it every day, the leisure time during farming will be doubled and the busy farming time will be halved.

However, the Emei sect is not a wealthy man in the first place. Although this thousand-man team does not pay him food and wages, the crafting of weapons, clothing, and meals for training days quickly consumes the little remaining wealth of the Emei sect. Until now, it has It's the oil that runs out and the lamp dries up.

If Master Miejie and his disciples do not return, Liu Ji will have to decide whether to listen to Chang Yuchun's suggestion and lead troops to attack the bandits' villages and rob property and food, or to follow Xu Da's advice and collect donations from large households in the county. .

Miejie never had an idea about this kind of thing, so he naturally looked at Ye Guhong.

Ye Guhong pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Now that I am not famous, and in this hometown, fundraising is somewhat suspected of coercion. As for Yuchun's plan, I have to do it, but I heard that there is more help for the right people, and less help for the wrong people. I Emei will raise troops in the future and hope that the heroes of the green forest will respond and participate in the grand event, but now it is a bit overbearing to directly attack the mountain and destroy the stronghold. "

Zhu Chongba nodded and said: "Senior brother is absolutely right, and I also think about it this way. It would be unsightly to force those cottages to go to the Tatars."

Chang Yuchun said anxiously: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Silver won't fall from the sky, and gold won't grow in the ground."

Ye Guhong smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. I don't know if silver will fall from the sky, but gold can grow in the ground."

He remembered a piece of news he had read in his previous life, which was that in the 1980s and 1990s, a large number of gold mines were discovered in Guizhou, mainly concentrated in the area where the ancient Yelang Kingdom was located.

Chang Yuchun said in surprise: "Our master is a nun! If she were a Taoist nun, she might have the ability to turn stone into gold, but I have never heard that Buddhists can do this."

Ye Guhong laughed and said: "If Buddhism doesn't have such ability, how can the body of the Buddha statue be so golden?"

Chang Yuchun was speechless after saying this, and then he grinned and said, "Master, if you have such magical magic, then we in Emei will no longer be short of money."

Miejie rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Gu Hong, don't tease your junior brothers. Where is the gold you mentioned?"

Ye Guhong soaked in tea, drew a suggested map, pointed to the location of Guiyang in later generations and said: "This is Shunyuan City, and the one who controls this place is the Luo Shi Ghost Kingdom established by the Yi people. It is more than 200 miles southwest of it." There are many large and small gold mines in this place. That place was the former Yelang Kingdom and is now the territory of the Ghost Kingdom. As long as we can capture it, at least within a short period of time, military spending will no longer be a pressing concern. "

Liu Ji was overjoyed and said: "If this is indeed the case, it is God who has blessed Emei! It's just that the Yi people are all warriors capable of hundreds of battles, but they cannot be defeated by our soldiers and horses who practice every once in a while."

Ye Guhong, however, was confident. He touched his handsome face and said with a proud smile: "The Five Immortals Sect wants me to be the son-in-law, and they also want me to send a betrothal gift. My master has already agreed to it. But since the betrothal gift is given, shouldn't she go with some dowry?" ? Wuxianling is a holy land for the Miao people, so my son-in-law doesn’t need much, so 20,000 Miao soldiers shouldn’t be too much, right?”

Hearing this, Miejie stood up suddenly, stared and said, "What's the point of twenty thousand Miao soldiers! Without fifty thousand elite Miao soldiers, there's no way you can marry into our Emei sect!"
