Traditional rivers and lakes belt crossing

The crossing of Tianshan Mountain was originally an important route leading to Korea’s trade, but now the road has been covered with snow due to the heavy wind and snow. In such bad weather, the merchants no longer travel, and they all hide in the inns on the side of the mountain obediently rest.

After drinking for three rounds, dozens of merchants from different regions gathered around the stove and talked about the difficulties of the world today. Although the Yuan Dynasty has been beaten and retreated steadily, many remnants of the defeated army have nowhere to go, and they have all become robbers. Thieves have blocked roads in many places and continued to block roads and rob.

One of the merchants with a weathered face said with emotion: "I don't know when this day will be the end." The other sighed after hearing this: "I hope the war will end soon, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment earlier, so it will be safe for us to start business." There are many." He continued: "Have you heard that not only the two countries are at war, but also the rivers and lakes are in chaos, and wars are happening everywhere." The merchant wearing a dark brown coarse scarf also came up and said: "Yes. Yes. You may not know that I came from the south. I heard that many gangs were wiped out on the road a few months ago. What kind of sea sand? The Gang, the Five Jiao Gang of the Yangtze River, and the Luoyang Jinmen Society all disappeared without a trace overnight."

The talkative peddler was silent for a while, took a bowl of wine and drank it down in one gulp, as if to embolden himself, only to hear him say again: "I wonder if you have heard a saying that has been circulated in the Jianghu recently." He swallowed again and said: "The map of Mount Shu, the top of the martial arts, and the rivers and lakes, I am the only one." Just after finishing speaking, a person beside the pillar who had been drinking said: "Be careful, don't worry, misfortune comes out of your mouth."

He closed his mouth after hearing this, but the people beside him didn't care, and asked: "Brother, tell me, what do you mean, here are some merchants, and there are no people in the world, so they won't spread the word. After all, the man talked a lot after listening to it, and couldn't help but said: "The map of Shushan, the recent chaos in the world is all because of a "Shushan Map". I heard that this map contains a big secret of the Yuan Dynasty." He poured a bowl of wine and said wittily, "What's the secret?"

The man continued: "It is said that the Yuan Dynasty hid a large amount of gold and silver treasures in the Shu Mountains when they ruled the Central Plains, and the hidden location is hidden in this "Shu Mountain Map"."

The bystanders were puzzled and said: "Then the court should take care of it. Why are people in the rivers and lakes joining in the fun? It's useless to ask for so much gold and silver treasures?"

The man continued to explain: "The problem is that not only gold and silver treasures are hidden in it, but also a lot of martial arts cheats from the former Song Dynasty collected during the multi-dynasty rule. I heard that the martial arts at that time were a level higher than now, such as acupuncture, etc. Kung fu has long been lost, do you think it will make people in the Jianghu crazy?"

"Yes, I heard that the martial arts civilization was highly developed at that time, what kind of internal force can break through the air, and what kind of sword light can kill people through the air, I can't even imagine it now." The other person continued.

The pissed merchant asked again: "I don't know who got this picture of Mount Shu now, brother, did you hear anything later?" He took a sip of wine and asked the chatty merchant again.

The talkative merchant said: "I heard that the latest news was obtained by people from the Luoyang Golden Gate Society. Later, it is said that a one-armed man came and wiped out the entire Golden Gate Society with a long knife, and then disappeared. .”

"Does that mean that this one-armed man got the "Shu Mountain Picture"?" asked the Mapi peddler.

"Then I don't know." The talkative merchant replied, "Maybe he got it, maybe he didn't. No one knows now. Anyway, this person disappeared." The world is too chaotic, the Wudang sect, the current leader of the martial arts, sent six disciples down the mountain to get this "Shu Mountain Picture", the head teacher Zhang Songxi also stated that after he got it, he would hold a martial arts meeting and destroy it in public, and he would never go to search for it privately."

The bystanders said after hearing this: "This is the best, solve it quickly, restore the stability of the rivers and lakes, and our road will be easier." Everyone said in unison: "Yes, yes."

Seeing that the wind and snow outside the door are getting bigger and bigger, many merchants are lying by the stove and gradually falling asleep. To remind everyone of the extraordinary tonight.Sure enough, the door of the inn was opened, the two walked in and quickly closed the door, but due to the strong wind blowing outside the door, many merchants were still awakened.

An adult and a child came in. They took off their heavy felt hats and scarves, and shook off the snow that fell on their bodies. The child was about ten years old, dressed in tatters, walking on one foot. Lu Lai was still limping a little. The grown man was wearing thick linen clothes, and he was carrying a long knife on his back, wrapped in coarse cloth, exposing the sharp edge and emitting bursts of cold light. There was a scar along his face. With his right eye down, after he dragged off his coat, he saw that he was missing a right arm, the root was broken, leaving an empty sleeve.

When all the merchants saw him, they remembered the one-armed man who had just destroyed the Luoyang Golden Gate Society. They couldn't help being frightened. It's the same person, and I haven't heard that he has a child with him.

The older and the younger also sat down around the fireplace, and the adult took some dry food from the bag for the younger one to eat, and the kid asked while eating, "Uncle, how long do we have to go?"

The adult replied: "There is still a long way to go, we will go into the mountain when the weather is better."

"Why are we going into the mountains?" the child asked again.

"The place we are going to is on the back of this mountain. We are going to cross this mountain. Are you afraid? Do you still want to go?" the adult replied.

The child said: "Uncle, I'm not afraid. You saved me and took me in. I will follow you wherever you go."

The adult said: "A Fei, if you follow me, you may have to suffer a lot along the way. You also know that when I rescued you, you were wearing a brocade suit. Maybe you are a young master from a rich family."

The child replied: "Uncle, although I have lost my memory, I only remember my name and can't remember what happened, but you saved me and took me in. I will definitely follow you and take care of you for the rest of my life, waiting for me When I grow up, I have the ability to protect you."

The adult listened and touched his head, feeling a burst of emotion in his heart, he had wandered for half his life, and was loyal to his mission for the sake of love, although it was inconvenient to bring a child, but looking at this child was like seeing his own dead brother Same, it feels very cordial.What he didn't know was that this child was actually the servant of the Four Masters of Wuzhong, who later helped Shan Sinan deliver a letter to Wudang and fell off a cliff, and the child who was crossed by Qian Xiaocheng, Yu Fei.
