The destruction of the River-shaking Fortress shook the entire martial arts world overnight. What was even more shocking was that the person who killed the River-shaking Fortress was the nameless kid who had just broken Mr. Guzi's chess game at Gudang Mountain!
"I heard that the River-Shaking Fortress was exterminated!" Tea Guest A said.
"Yes, men, women, children, young and old were all killed!”-- Tea Guest B said.
"It can't be, right? I've seen this kid on Gudang Mountain before, and he doesn't seem like such a savage person!”-- Tea Guest C said.
"Hey! You can't judge a book by its cover!" Tea Guest Ding said.
"That's right. Moreover, General Fei saw it with his own eyes and said it himself. How can it be false?”
"If General Fei said it himself, then it can't be wrong!”
"But why did he want to exterminate the Riverquake Fortress?”
"I heard that the young lord of River Shaker Fortress humiliated him in public on the streets of Hangzhou.”
"Yes, someone saw this with his own eyes. At that time, he swore to the heavens that he would exterminate the entire Zhenjiang Fortress in three days to vent his hatred!”
"No way. He didn't say that at that time, did he?”
"Heh! Who cares what he says? In any case, the entire River-Shaking Fortress has been exterminated.”
"Although Old Fortress Lord Jiang has been forthright and righteous all his life, it's a pity that he gave birth to a son who was tyrannical and did evil everywhere, even exterminating his family! Sigh!"
"This is called 'A family of good deeds will have blessings, and a family of evil deeds will have calamities!'”
"Young Master Jiang's death is not a pity, but it's not enough to destroy his entire sect.”
"Hey! Revenge was something he could do. He had destroyed a gate of River Shaker Fortress and even burned it down to destroy the evidence!”
"Not only that, he even announced that he would personally go to the Jiangnan Bodyguard Agency to congratulate Old Escort Chief Jiang on his 80th birthday!”
"What?! 'This kid is too detestable. He destroyed the entire River-Shaking Fortress and is still so arrogant. He simply doesn't put our Jiangnan martial arts world in his eyes!' Let's go! Let's go to the Jiangnan Bodyguard Agency and seek justice for the River-shaking Fortress!”
"Good! I have the same intention!"
"Yes! I also intend to see how powerful this kid is. Is he three-headed and six-armed? Let's go!"
The entire Jiangnan martial arts world was in an uproar. They rushed to the Jiangnan Bodyguard Agency overnight to see if Chu Feng had three heads and six arms, and if he had the guts to show himself in the Jiangnan Bodyguard Agency.
Several li east of the Miluo River, there was a group of ancient tombs on Miluo Mountain. There were a total of twelve ancient tombs, and each tomb was like a mountain, rising and falling, with lush green trees growing on top.
These twelve tombs were for the same person-Qu Yuan! One of the greatest poets in history.
Qu Yuan was a native of the State of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He was once a senior official of the State of Chu. He was upright and upright. He was not tolerated by treacherous people. He was exiled to Dongting Lake because of greed. Later, when he learned that the State of Chu had been defeated, he was indignant and depressed. He threw himself into the Miluo River and died. At that time, fishermen nearby saved him by boat, crying for help. Later on, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival, which was the day Qu Yuan jumped into the river, the people would hold dragon boat races on the river to commemorate this great poet!
Right now, a blue-robed youth was standing solemnly in front of this ancient tomb. He had a white handkerchief on his head and an ancient sword on his back. There was a curved finger mark on his face. It was Chu Feng. The ancient tomb emitted a vast and profound aura that stirred the young man's thoughts.
In front of the ancient tomb stood two huge stone pillars. On the stone pillars were carved two lines of poems that had been passed down through the ages. Chu Feng's gaze was fixed on these two lines of poems and did not move away.
"Hunt!"
With the sound of fluttering clothes, a figure dressed in white appeared beside Chu Feng. He actually did not notice it and continued to stare at the stone pillar.
The white-robed woman's gaze also fell on the two lines of the poem on the stone pillar. She softly recited,"The road is long and far. I will search up and down!”
"It's you?"
Chu Feng turned to look at her, his tone carrying a hint of surprise.
Wei Di looked at Chu Feng, his eyes landing on the curved finger mark on his face as he softly said,""I didn't expect to meet you here."
"I didn't expect it either. Why are you here?”Chu Feng asked.
"What about you?" Wei Di asked.
"I just wanted to reminisce about the past.”Chu Feng's gaze turned towards the ancient tombs.
"I was passing by and came to admire the legacy of the ancients." Wei Di also cast his gaze towards the ancient tombs.
Chu Feng sighed,"The righteous path is straight, loyal and wise; From the muddy water, cicadas escape from the turbid filth and float outside the dust. Pushing his ambition, he can compete with the sun and moon for glory. Who else in the world could receive such high praise from Taishigong?”
"You really admire him."”
Chu Feng smiled,"I admire his noble character."”
"You say that among these twelve tombs, which one is Qu Yuan's real tomb?"”
" What do you think?" Chu Feng asked.
"Legend has it that after Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, his body was only fished up a few days later. Half of his face had been bitten off by fish, so his daughter used the sand gold accumulated in the Miluo River to match half of his face with gold and buried him." Therefore, there was still a saying in Yueyang: 'Nine sons cannot bury their father, but a daughter can wear a golden crown…'"
"Does Qu Yuan have nine sons?" Chu Feng asked.”
Wei Di burst into laughter and said,"The saying 'Nine sons cannot bury their fathers' is not Qu Yuan, but King Huai of Chu." King Huai of Chu was detained by Qin and his guest died in Qin. Although he had nine sons, he could not bury his father. He was worse off than a woman.”
Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh.
Wei Di continued,"When these words spread to the dignitaries of Chu, they angered them and threatened to dig up the grave and whip the corpse to snatch the golden face." Qu Yuan's daughter built the tomb of doubt with Luo Qun Dou soil. This move moved the gods, so they built these twelve tombs overnight, so that the dignitaries of Chu could not succeed. Therefore, none of these twelve tombs was the tomb where Qu Yuan was buried.”
"Is this important?" Chu Feng smiled.”
Wei Di smiled and didn't say anything.
Beside the tomb stood a large stone wall, on which Qu Yuan's most famous poem, Li Sao, was carved. Chu Feng walked to the stone wall and silently looked at the poem on the stone wall.
The two of them left the group of tombs and walked side by side on a grassy field. Behind them were two long figures brought out by the setting sun. The setting sun shone brightly in the sky. The surrounding colorful clouds and the red glow were even more intoxicating.
"The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk!" The ancients really understood its true meaning."
"From your tone, it seems to be a pity."”
"Isn't it a pity that such a beautiful scenery will disappear in the blink of an eye?"”
"I've also heard of a poem from the ancients: Don't say that mulberry trees and elm trees are late, because the sky is still full of rosy clouds! It's the same as obtaining its true intent."
Wei Di smiled, his face reflecting a touch of red. How beautiful was that!
Chu Feng was simply stunned. Wei Di saw that he was staring at her, and her pink face couldn't help but blush, making her even more charming. She turned her head slightly and said,"Do you always look on the bright side of things?”
"I just prefer to think positively.”Chu Feng replied.
"However, the world is often unsatisfactory.”
"Even so, why not be happy instead of suffering all day?”
"So you still have the mood to reminisce about the ancients when you bear the name of the murderer of your family?”
Chu Feng smiled but did not say anything. The two of them continued to walk, and before they knew it, they had reached the edge of the Miluo River.
The two of them were standing in the middle of the river. The water here was green and clear. It was said that Qu Yuan threw his stone into the water here.
Wei Di saw Chu Feng's eyes fixed on the pond water below and asked,""What are you looking at?"
Chu Feng smiled and said,"I want to look for Qu Zi's Chu Ling Celestial Path." Look, the water here is so clear. No wonder he wanted to throw water here.”
"You're quite a sentimental person."”
"I'm a sentimental person, but I don't worry too much."”
The two of them walked along the Miluo River for a while. The setting sun had already completely set in the west. The fishing boats on the river had also lit up fishing fires, and the surface of the river was dotted with fishing fires.
Wei Di suddenly stopped in his tracks. Chu Feng also stopped and looked at her.
"You…were you angry with me that day…"
Chu Feng knew that she was referring to the incident where Jiang Shaobao humiliated and beat him in front of the Wangjiang Tower, so he interrupted,
"There was no need for you to make a move. You and I only met by chance. I don't even know your name.”
Wei Di didn't say anything. She could hear that Chu Feng's tone still contained anger, perhaps even he himself didn't notice it.
"Actually, I should have thanked you. If it weren't for you that night…"
Chu Feng said awkwardly," That night, I almost harmed you. I thought that you had your acupoints pressed. It turned out that you were adjusting your qi and almost offended you. I hope you won't take offense!"”
"You're going to Jiangnan Bodyguard Agency tomorrow?" Wei Di smiled and suddenly asked.”
"Yes."
"Do you know that you are now the murderer of the entire River-quaking Fortress?”
"That's why I want to go even more!"
"You…want to explain?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Do you think anyone will listen to your explanation?”
"I don't know! I'm innocent. How can I be wronged?”
"Do you know that the entire Jiangnan martial arts world has gathered at the Jiangnan Bodyguard Agency just to wait for you to show up?”
"A pure person is pure. I walk the righteous path and face the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. I'm not afraid of them!”
"You're too…naive." Wei Di shook his head.”
"There's nothing wrong with being naive." Chu Feng laughed.”
"Do you know that there is no difference between naivety and stupidity in the pugilistic world?”
Chu Feng smiled and said," I don't know. I've just stepped into the martial world. I don't know the many rules of the martial world. I don't want to know either." I just did what I thought I should do.”
"This is naivety! Foolish! Silly!" Wei Di said bluntly.
"Naive or stupid, I've already decided!”Chu Feng's face revealed a trace of determination.
Wei Di looked at Chu Feng's determined face and knew that he couldn't convince him. She sighed and said,"With your martial arts, you will only die in vain."”
Chu Feng smiled and said,"It's what I want. I won't regret it even if I die nine times!"”
"Do you remember what Mr. Gui Zi said when he gave you the two chess pieces?" Black and white were sometimes not clear, especially in Jianghu, where black and white were often reversed. Why don't you hide first and reveal everything after you find out the truth?”
Chu Feng said resolutely," I'm innocent and have a clear conscience. Why should I hide my head and hide my tail? Why should I live in secret?!"”
Di Wei was silent. His gaze once again landed on the curved finger mark on Chu Feng's face. Chu Feng touched the finger mark and smiled brightly."You don't have to mind. I like this finger mark very much.”
Wei Di was very surprised. Not only did this finger mark not damage his handsome face, it even highlighted his resolute, resolute, and stubborn side.
Chu Feng saw that she was looking at him in a daze and said,""Miss…"
"My surname is Wei, and my name is Di."
Wei Di suddenly announced his name, Chu Feng was surprised and excited, even a little excited, he said,""So it's Young Lady Wei Di. I didn't expect to meet you so many times and finally know your name today.”
He saw Wei Di looking at him, as if waiting for him to say something. He didn't understand for a moment and could only look at her, a little silly. "You don't plan to tell me your name?" Wei Di laughed.”
"Aiya!" Chu Feng patted his head." I was too happy when I found out your name just now. My surname is Chu, my name is Feng, Chu Feng."
"So it's Young Master Chu."
Chu Feng hurriedly said," I'm not some prince. Miss, don't call me prince. Call me Chu…Chu…" Chu something, he couldn't think of a suitable way to address her.
Wei Di saw him stutter for a long time and could not help but smile."How about Young Hero Chu?"
Chu Feng hesitated for a moment before saying,"I don't dare to say that."”
"What about Great Swordsman Chu?"
"I don't dare to accept this?" Chu Feng hurriedly waved his hand.
"Then why don't you call me Hero Chu?" Wei Di wanted to tease him.
Chu Feng had an embarrassed expression as he stuttered,""Oh…this…how can I, young lady, call me Young Master Chu…forget it.”
Wei Di smiled, a very beautiful smile.
The last red glow on the horizon finally faded. Wei Di said softly,"I'm leaving."
Chu Feng inexplicably felt a trace of melancholy and said,""Ever since we first met at West Lake, we have already met by chance three times. When and where would the next time be?”
Wei Di's limpid eyes looked at Chu Feng and asked again,""Are you really going to Jiangnan Bodyguard Agency tomorrow?”
"Yes, sir! If I say I'll go, I'll definitely go. Besides, I've also arranged for Brother Murong to have a few drinks at the Jiangnan Bodyguard Agency.”Thinking of Murong, Chu Feng couldn't help but smile.
A strange look flashed across Wei Di's eyes as he asked,""Are you very familiar with Murong?"
"He was the first friend I made when I first came out of Jianghu."”
"He might not go."”
"Ah, why?" Chu Feng asked in astonishment.
"I'm afraid he has some things he can't get away from.”
Chu Feng shook his head and said," He promised me that he would definitely go. He is not a person who breaks his promise. He will definitely come and drink with me!"”
Wei Di didn't say anything and turned to leave. He suddenly turned back and said faintly,""The road of the martial world is filled with dangers. Once you step on it, it will be difficult to get out.”
Chu Feng smiled and softly said,""The road is long and far. I will search up and down!”
