Sword narration is painful in the world

When Song Yu asked, the master replied:

"This man's surname is Lu, his given name is Ming, and he is known as a heroic hero. He currently lives in Merlutai, a hundred miles away from Huai'an Prefecture. He is in his sixties. He has been growing flowers and farming at home and has never interacted with the outside world. In addition, this man has a weird temper. Everyone who came to visit refused to see him, so many heroes and righteous men were turned away and returned in despair."

Song Yu was very happy to hear this and said:

"Master, please take more care of the case. Brother Feng Ye and I will discuss it together and go to see this heroic hero first."

After that, Song Yu said goodbye and left.

The master felt puzzled, could there be any connection between Merutai and Mr. Hong’s disappearance?

Besides, is it easy to meet brave heroes? If Song Yu goes there, you will be asking for trouble and will be rejected.

He originally wanted to persuade Song Yu a few more words, but when he turned around, there was no trace of him, so he had to give up.

Song Yu found Leng Fengye and mentioned the idea of ​​finding out the whereabouts of Hong Lingquan. Leng Fengye naturally agreed very much and immediately volunteered:

"Brother, you stay and take charge of the affairs of the house with the Eight-Armed Lingzhu and Sai Bingling. I will go to Merlu Terrace alone to pay a visit to this master.

Song Yu thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"Well, let's have Brother Lao Xian take a trip."

Early the next morning, Leng Fengye had breakfast and then said goodbye to Song Yu and others and hit the road.

Within three hours, he arrived at Merutai. He saw that the village was not small, with about three to four hundred households. The roads were clean and the houses were neatly arranged. The surrounding trees and crops were green and full of vitality. The streams ran along the fields. The water flowing by is crystal clear and has a gentle sound. From time to time, there is a faint fragrance of flowers, which is refreshing.

I also saw that the people in this village were all radiant, full of energy, carefree, and full of joy. It was really a peaceful scene of living and working in peace and contentment.

Leng Fengye was moved by the scene and couldn't help blurting out:

What a paradise.

At this moment, Leng Fengye thought to himself that this heroic hero was indeed no mediocre person. He could manage the village in such an orderly manner that even the government and Yu Wuyang's group did not dare to come here to cause trouble.

As he approached the entrance of the village, he saw an old man walking towards him. Leng Fengye walked forward quickly, saluted and asked:

"Old man, I'm sorry to bother you, junior. Do you know the old knight's home?"

"Just over there, follow me," the old man pointed to the road to the west, then took Leng Fengye to a house not far from the west end of the village and said:

"This is."

After thanking the old man, Leng Fengye walked directly to the gate. Seeing that the gate was open, he walked into the gatehouse and entered the courtyard.

I saw that the courtyard was very spacious. Although the courtyard walls were all made of mud, they were smoothed. There were three main rooms in the north and ten east-west auxiliary rooms on both sides. There was an old peach tree growing in the courtyard. The branches and leaves are luxuriant, like an umbrella canopy, and there are many unknown flowers blooming around. They are simply colorful, rich in fragrance, and pleasing to the eye.

Leng Fengye was about to knock on the door when he heard a creak and a boy of thirteen or fourteen came out and asked:

"Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, little brother, is this Mr. Lu's home?"

The child tilted his head and replied:

"Well, yes"

"Please tell Mr. Lu that someone from Wenshu Monastery in Mount Wutai is here to pay a special visit."

When the child heard this, he asked naughtily:

"I once heard my grandfather say that Wenshu Monastery in Mount Wutai is just a mountain, a temple. How can I come here to visit this mountain and temple?"

Leng Fengye spoke a little hastily and didn't express himself clearly, but this kid was really good at finding faults and nailing every word.

Leng Fengye did not blame the child, but found him very cute, so he said teasingly:

"You are right, it is not Shanhe Temple who came to visit, but Leng Fengye, the young monk there, who came to see me."

"Okay, then you wait," after saying that, the child turned around and went into the house.

It wasn't long before I heard a cough coming from the room, and someone said:

"No wonder the lights were on last night and the magpies were chirping this morning. It turned out that a distinguished guest has arrived. Haha, I'm late to greet you. Please forgive me."

As he said that, an old man walked out. He was sixty years old, of medium build, fat and thin, well-proportioned, with two thin eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes, a straight nose, a square mouth, big ears and shoulders, and a long black and white beard.

I saw this man wearing a six-ribbed scarf with a silver piece on top, black clothes on top, a green middle coat, white cloth high-waisted socks, and green cloth shoes.

When I looked again, I saw that his face was glowing red, he was full of energy, and he still had the demeanor of a strong man.

Leng Fengye hurriedly came forward, bowed and saluted:

"I've heard about the old man's name for a long time, and it's like thunder in my ears. Junior Leng Fengye came to visit me. This is very polite."

"I don't dare to take it seriously. It turns out to be Leng Xiaoxia from Mount Wutai. Nice to meet you. Please talk to me in the room."

The two of them made concessions, and Leng Fengye followed Lu Ming into the room.

This room was originally a living room, with bedrooms on both sides. There was a blue curtain on the door, and the ceiling of the living room was made of white paper. There was a table and two chairs at the front door. There was a window next to the door, and there was a strip under the window. The benches, although sparsely furnished, were very neat.

After the guests and the host were seated, the boy who just went out to prepare tea, Lengli thought to himself, who said that the old knight Lu had a weird temperament and did not interact with others? It seems that these are all false rumors and cannot be trusted.

Leng Fengye was just congratulating himself when he heard the heroic hero Lu Yuan smile slightly and say:

"Leng Xiaoxia, is your master not Elder Daoyue of Wenshu Monastery?"

"Exactly, you know my master"

"No, although I have admired his name for a long time and admired him very much, I have never dated him. I heard that the new governor of Huai'an Prefecture is named Hong Lingquan. He is an upright official and loves the people like a son. Leng Xiaoxia also worked in his house a few months ago. In addition, There are also Song Yu and several other people from the martial arts world as bodyguards. It seems that you all have a bright future and are really going to make great achievements. I have been suffering from illness recently, so I might as well have gone to my house to pay him a visit."

After hearing this, Leng Fengye asked doubtfully:

"I don't know what disease you are suffering from, old man."

"I'm not afraid of your ridicule. The old man lost his hand due to practicing kung fu. His waist was bent and his hip bones were broken. It's very inconvenient to move around now."

Leng Fengye laughed and said:

"Old man, I see you are in good spirits, your face is glowing, and you walk neatly and briskly. You don't look like you are sick. How can a hero with outstanding martial arts skills and a famous reputation like you have any reason to practice martial arts to harm your health? Isn't that right? Prevaricate the words of farewell, old man, you don’t need to close the door. We are all people walking around in the fruit trees with baskets on our backs. Is there anything you don’t know? Firstly, I came to visit you, old man, and secondly, I have a very important matter. I hope you won’t refuse.”

Lu Ming pondered for a long time before saying:

"Leng Xiaoxia, to be honest, I have always wanted to live a peaceful life without contact with the outside world. The reason why I can invite you into the room for a talk today is because of the honor of your master and the conduct of Magistrate Hong. Otherwise, I will definitely thank you, but I don’t know what you can teach me when you come here.”

"Old man, Mr. Hong has done a lot of good things since he came to Huai'an. You must know this. In particular, he is dedicated to serving the people, redressing injustices and eliminating harm. He has captured Yu Wuyang, the prince who has always done evil. People are very happy. However, the traitor is being tried. During the Yu Wuyang case, Mr. Hong disappeared."

"There is such a thing"

"That's why junior Feng Ye came to ask you for advice, hoping to point you to a clear path."
