On this day, the family came to the mountain and dismounted in front of the temple. A little Daoist nun came out from inside with a horsetail whisk in her hand."Who are you looking for?" "I want to see our family's young miss, Fan Lihua.”"Oh, wait a moment." The little Taoist nun went inside to deliver the letter. After a while, the Taoist nun came out a second time and called her family inside. The family saw that Zixia Official was really imposing. There were five floors in front and back, and the east and west were across the courtyard. Once they entered this courtyard, they were awe-inspiring. The little Daoist nun led the way and came to the door of a room."Our Saint Mother is here.”"Yes." The family members quickly dusted off the dust on their bodies and lifted the curtains to enter the house. An old Taoist nun sat on the bed in the middle of the room. She wore a moon fish Taoist crown on her head, with her fish head facing forward and her fish tail facing back. Two streamers fluttered on her left and right shoulders. She wore a red Eight Trigrams Immortal robe, and a silk ribbon of water and fire was tied around her waist. Her face was quite pale, and wrinkles piled up. "How has the old Holy Mother been?" This servant will kowtow to you."
"Get up. Are you from Hanjiang Pass?" "That's right." "I heard that he wants to see your Miss Fan Lihua?”"Yes, our Old Marshal personally wrote a letter and asked me to personally hand it to Young Miss.”
"Alright, disciple, go and invite your senior brother over.”"Yes."
Not long after, the little Daoist nun returned with another Daoist nun following behind her. The Daoist nun was dressed very plainly, but she was particularly handsome, steady, and dignified. She came to her master and bowed."Heavenly Venerate Immeasurable. Disciple Fan Lihua greets teacher."
"Forget it. Li Hua, look, someone from your family has arrived.”
When Fan Lihua heard this, she was stunned. She looked to the side and saw that it was her family. The family members quickly came over and bowed to Fan Lihua.""Miss, I finally see you." "Why are you looking for me?" "The old marshal asked me to bring you a letter.”"Let me see." The family took out Fan Hong's letter and handed it to Fan Lihua. Fan Lihua hurriedly opened it and read it. The gist of the letter was: We haven't seen each other for a few years in the blink of an eye. I miss you very much. Your mother, brother, and sister-in-law miss you very much. Because they were busy with military affairs, they didn't have the time to visit you. Now the Tang Dynasty has sent a large army to fight with my father. Unfortunately, the Tang soldiers are very fierce, and we have lost many battles. Now, my father is seriously injured, and so are your two brothers. Hanjiang Pass is in danger. I miss you. I hope you can return to Hanjiang Pass as soon as possible after reading this letter. When father and daughter meet again, the family can be reunited and the city can be protected.
After Miss Fan finished reading it, her almond-shaped eyes rolled back and she was stunned."Let me ask you, when does my father want me to go back?”"I want you to go back as soon as possible.”"Go outside and let me discuss with Master.”"Ai, Miss, you have to hurry up.”His family left.
The Holy Mother of Li Mountain asked Fan Lihua," Lihua, I saw that you didn't look right just now. What's the reason? Are you worried about your father or something? Since your father has sent you a letter, hurry up and prepare your things and go down the mountain.”"Master." Fan Lihua lifted her clothes and kneeled in front of the bed. She did not speak and tears rolled down her cheeks. She cried so hard that she could not breathe.
"Master, I can't go back." "Ah, your father is injured and Hanjiang Pass is about to be destroyed. Why aren't you going back?”"Master, I have my own difficulties. I would rather die on the mountain than leave you.”
Endorsements in the book: Why is Fan Lihua crying? Why did he become a monk here? Why hasn't Father returned the letter? There was a hidden story behind this. Her father, Fan Hong, was not a bad person. He was honest and upright, but he was very willful. If he wanted to do something, he had to do it. No one could object. He had a good friend called Yang Chun, the marshal of White Tiger Pass. He and Yang Chun were still on the same boat. His wife, Madam He, was Madam Yang's biological sister. With this level of kinship, his relationship with Yang Chun was even closer. Before the war, the two families often interacted. This year, the two madams were both pregnant. Fan Hong and Yang Chun gathered together again. The whole family held a banquet, ate and drank. First, they talked about the army and horses, and then they talked about their private lives. At this moment, Fan Hong had a few more cups and said to Yang Chun,"Brother, we have known each other since we were young. When we grew up, we learned from each other. In the future, we will be Lord Wulf's subjects. You became a marshal, and I became a marshal. We even married the He sisters. We brothers have never blushed in all these years. Can our juniors be like us brothers? It was hard to say. Now that the two madams are pregnant, I plan to do this. If they give birth to boys, let them kowtow to the north and make friends with each other. If the children were all girls, it would be better for them to be sworn sisters. If they give birth to a boy and a girl, let them get married and get married. What do you think?”"Old brother, what you said is exactly what I want." Yang Chun was overjoyed.”As they spoke, the two of them exchanged glasses. This was called pre-arranged marriage. After this incident, the two madams gave birth to children one after another. Mrs. Yang gave birth to a boy named Yang Fan. Lady Fan gave birth to a girl named Li Hua. Both sides sent people to congratulate him. Since they were a man and a woman, they were husband and wife. Fan Lihua was not sensible when she was young, but she understood when she grew up. When Fan Lihua was twelve years old, the servant girl told her, Your future husband is the Young Marshal of White Tiger Pass, Yang Fan. In a few days, Yang Fan will come here to visit. You can secretly take a look. In the future, you will be husband and wife who grow old together. Although Fan Lihua was only twelve years old, she knew a lot. She also understood marriage and what was good and what was bad. Sure enough, Yang Fan came one day. He was quite awe-inspiring. He had servants in front and servants behind. He brought many personal guards and eight-colored gifts to visit his uncle. Fan Hong entertained them at the front courtyard. When Fan Hong saw Yang Fan, he also frowned. Because the two cities were not close to each other, and both of them had important positions, they could not leave the defense area privately, so they had not seen this child for a long time. Looking at this Yang Fan again, he looked uglier and uglier. Yang Fan was only twelve years old, but he was already as tall as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old ordinary person. He had broad shoulders and a thick back, and his arms were thick. At a glance, his face was more than a foot long, with a squarish chin and a sunken face. He was long and ugly. Moreover, he had a problem. His mouth was smelly, and his armpits were emitting a foul smell. Fan Hong was stunned. He thought to himself," Aiya, my daughter isn't boasting. She's beautiful, but you can't go back on your word. Yang Chun and I have already exchanged wine glasses." Besides, one couldn't judge a person based on their appearance alone. One had to look at their talent and learning. This marriage must not be shaken.”However, ever since Madam Fan saw Yang Fan, she had been crying in secret. She complained to her husband,"You were greedy and said too much. You ruined the girl." Can our Li Hua match him?" Fan Hong's face darkened." What does a woman know? A real man is indomitable. Without faith, he will not stand tall." Besides, the parents had the right to make decisions about their children's marriage. What was there to be unhappy about? You're not allowed to talk about this matter in the future." That day, the servant maids told Fan Lihua about the treat and asked her to go take a look. Fan Lihua couldn't take it anymore, but she couldn't resist the urging of the servant maids. She also went to the back window and broke the window paper to look inside. It just so happened that Yang Fan's face was facing the back window. When Fan Lihua saw Yang Fan, she almost fainted. She covered her face and returned to the Embroidered Tower, crying loudly. She simply could not live anymore. From that day on, she did not eat or drink and cried all day. Her mother's heart softened and she asked Fan Lihua why. Li Hua didn't hide anything and told her mother her thoughts,""I would rather die than marry such a person. Since I'm still young, my father will retract his order. It's not that Yang Fan can't get a wife, and it's not that I can't find someone. Why should we tie this marriage firmly together? Mother, you love your daughter, please save me! The moment I mention the word Yang Fan, I feel disgusted. The moment I think of his appearance, my hair stands on end!”Her mother also cried. However, no matter how hard he tried to persuade the old man, he could not. Not only could he not persuade Fan Hong, even his two sons, Fan Long and Fan Hu, stood on his father's side, saying that marriage could not be changed and that they could not listen to Li Hua. What was a little girl to choose? She could marry a man, dress and eat. She could just take care of her food and drink. So what if she looked good or bad? Therefore, this matter had never been resolved. Although Fan Lihua was not old, she broke up with her father in the end and said,"Father, if you insist on doing this, I would rather become a monk.”Fan Hong was also angry. If you're willing to become a monk, I'll grant you your wish. Don't ever come to my Fan family's door again.”After that, Fan Lihua went to the Purple Glow Palace of the Nine Heavens to take Holy Mother Li Shan as her master.
At first, Holy Mother Li Shan thought that Li Hua had something to do at home, so she came and stayed for three to five days. After she was done, she would go home. Later, she found that her disciple was very sincere and kind. As time went by, the relationship between master and disciple became deeper. Fan Lihua did not hide it and told her master about her feelings. The Holy Mother of Li Mountain felt sympathetic and said to Li Hua,"Monks are the most bitter. What do you mean by jumping out of the three worlds and not being in the five ethics? In fact, you can't leave anything. It was impossible for a person to think that everything was empty. However, there were few people in contact with this place. It was relatively quiet and could cultivate and learn. How about this, I'll teach you martial arts. What do you think?”Fan Lihua nodded in agreement. She had practiced Kung Fu at home before she went up the mountain, so she had a foundation. Since her master had taken the initiative to bring it up, Fan Lihua was more than happy to do so. Therefore, he began to learn martial arts from the Holy Mother of Li Shan the next day. The master taught seriously, and the disciple studied seriously. Together, Fan Lihua's studies improved greatly. One day was equivalent to ten days, and one year was equivalent to ten years. Especially when Fan Lihua felt the mental pain and had nothing to rely on, she completely relied on martial arts, so she learned much faster than the average person. Time flew. Fan Lihua was already eighteen years old, but she had never returned home.
Fan Lihua was also very sad when she saw the letter. Her father was injured and she missed her daughter. Her brother was also injured. Logically speaking, she had to go back no matter what. However, her father had yet to break off the engagement for her. From what her mother had said, her father still insisted on betrothing her to Yang Fan for life. Moreover, the old Yang family had sent people to urge her to marry him several times. Because she had never returned home, she had yet to get married.
Fan Lihua thought about it and then suggested to her master,"I'm not going home. I can do whatever I want. I'm a monk now. What does it have to do with me whether Hanjiang Pass can be saved or not? What does my father's victory or defeat have to do with me?”
The Holy Mother of Li Mountain coughed." Disciple, get up. I sympathize with you. But if you don't go home and can't explain yourself to reason, won't outsiders talk about you?"”"Master, what if my father brings up marriage again?”"Li Hua, since things have come to this, master has no choice but to say it. Ever since you told me what was on your mind, I've made arrangements for your marriage, but I don't know if you're willing or not, so I've been hiding it in my heart.”"Master, this disciple will listen to you, as long as I don't marry Yang Fan.”"Hehehe, look at what you're saying. With your looks, your background, and your martial arts skills, can I push you into the fire pit? I have secretly chosen a husband for you. This person is none other than the son of Ping Xiwang, Xue Dingshan.”"Xue Dingshan? Master, who is he?" "Son, I've seen this Xue Dingshan before. A few years ago, I went to the Water Curtain Cave of Yunmeng Mountain to visit my senior brother, Old Ancestor King Cicada. I found a boy in his cave and saw him practicing martial arts. Later, I asked my senior brother who this child was. He told me that he was called Xue Dingshan, the son of Pingxi King Xue Rengui. Aiya, this child is too good-looking. When I saw his martial arts, it was too late! I told my senior brother Wang Chan about you. Later, we secretly decided that he was the matchmaker for the man and I was the matchmaker for the woman. We were prepared to betroth you to Xue Dingshan for life. Because you're young, I didn't mention it. I don't know if you're willing or not. Today, master and disciple are going to break up, so I'm asking you. Li Hua, are you happy?”" Master, this…Don't be troubled. If you want to follow your father's orders, marry Yang Fan and save yourself a lot of trouble. If you want to obey your master's orders, you can marry Xue Dingshan. What do you think?”"Master, I'll listen to you." "Alright, this matter is settled. This is evidence. I'm afraid your father will misunderstand, so I'll write a letter. "In addition, I also told Xue Dingshan not to let him misunderstand. She's quite a big girl. Why did she rush to look for him? Because his master was the matchmaker. Wait a moment."
The old Holy Mother got off the bed and picked up her pen. She wrote two letters, one to the old general Fan Hong and the other to the second marshal Xue Dingshan. After writing the two letters, he handed them to Fan Lihua and reminded her repeatedly,"Son, give this letter to your father. You must give it to him first when you meet him. Say hello and see what your father says. This letter was for Xue Dingshan. They met in front of the two armies and handed it to him personally. Also, this letter was sent by Old Ancestor King Cicada two days ago. It's a letter written by him. Give it to Xue Dingshan together. I think it's very smooth. Your marriage will be resolved. If he didn't do this, he would be troubled for the rest of his life.”"Thank you, teacher." "Son, we are master and disciple, so I won't say anything else. If you encounter any more unpleasant things, I will take you in when you come back.”"Thank you, teacher." The Holy Mother then sent people to bring over a package and a horse. She gave Fan Lihua ten treasures, including a precious helmet, a precious armor, a precious horse, and a precious saber. Fan Lihua thanked him profusely, and the master and disciple parted in tears.
When Fan Lihua returned to Hanjiang Pass, the entire city was shaken. When Old Marshal Fan Hong heard that his daughter had returned, he jumped up from the hospital bed happily. He supported himself with his walking stick and limped to the door. His mother, Madam He, his two brothers and sisters-in-law, and the civil and military officials were all brought out. Fan Lihua had been away from her hometown for a long time. When she saw her family, she felt sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy. She had all kinds of feelings. She pulled the horse and jumped off the horse. She ran over to greet her parents and then her brother and sister-in-law. When Fan Hong saw this, tears also fell. The old man wiped away his tears and pulled Fan Lihua back. After not seeing her for a few years, his daughter had changed. She looked like a flower and jade, and she looked even better. How could a father not like such a daughter? The family surrounded Fan Lihua and asked her about her journey up the mountain. Miss Fan gave a simple explanation. When Fan Hong heard this, he was pleasantly surprised. Come, give Li Hua a welcome banquet."
A banquet was held at home. Everyone was sitting around and drinking to their hearts 'content. Fan Lihua also asked about what happened before the battle. Fan Hong coughed." Girl, the Tang soldiers are too fierce this time. Not only do they have a large number of soldiers, but they also have more than a thousand people who can fight. The most powerful one is Xue Dingshan." This little baby horse is fast and quick, good at whipping. It can be said that he can attack and win every battle. Our Hanjiang Pass is in danger. You came back at the right time. You must avenge your father and your two brothers. From what you said just now, with your great ability, our Hanjiang Pass is guaranteed to be safe. "If you can defeat Xue Dingshan and kill the Tang soldiers, Lord Wolf will be happy and you can be conferred father's official position. You can also be considered a heroine and can also be conferred. Come, come, come, drink this cup. I'm so happy today. I don't feel that much pain anymore.”Seeing her father happy, Fan Lihua also felt happy in her heart. However, when she thought about marriage, her heart felt like it was stuck in a knot. She couldn't say it out loud. If she said it, it would be difficult to refuse her father's love. If she didn't say it, it would always be a sore spot. There were a few times when her hand touched her master's letter, but she didn't take it out. She felt that it was too hard to erase it. At this moment, Fan Hong said," In the past, we didn't get along as father and daughter because you were young and insensible. Now that you've grown up and are an adult, I believe that you're no longer the same as before. Let me tell you another piece of good news. Your husband, Yang Fan, is very impressive now. He is now the Grand Marshal of White Tiger Pass and has replaced his father. This young man is also very outstanding now. He has a knife in his hand and has the courage to fight against ten thousand men. He is talented in literature and martial arts. He is a match made in heaven with you. When the Tang soldiers are defeated, I'll choose a good day and let the two of you get married. Then, my wish will be fulfilled.”When Fan Lihua heard that, she trembled and almost dropped her wine glass. She thought to herself,"Daddy, why are you still mentioning this?" Is it my fault that we don't get along? Wasn't the reason for their discord caused by their marriage? My muddle-headed father, why do you still insist on doing this! He wanted to argue with his father. He had just entered the family and the whole family was happy. Once he opened his mouth, he would definitely fall out with his father. Therefore, in a fit of pique, she did not take the letter that her master had given her father. This was also Fan Lihua's fault. If she took out the letter, even if the father and daughter had a falling out, things would be easier to deal with. It was because she didn't take it that this matter was delayed. While they were drinking, someone reported that Tang General was leading troops to attack Hanjiang Pass. Fan Hong was so angry that he threw the wine glass away." Don't look at me just because I used to hang up the exemption card. That was because my daughter wasn't at home. Now, we have someone!" Men, take off the exemption card and let your miss fight!”"Tsk!" When Fan Lihua saw this, she decided to fight! It's best if I meet Xue Dingshan. My master also said that no matter who is the matchmaker or the decision-maker, he wants me to take a look at him personally. I want to see what kind of person Xue Dingshan is. If I want to meet his wishes, I might as well settle the marriage. I won't fight anymore and surrender. Our Lord Wulf was wrong to do this, so why did he make such an unreasonable request to threaten the Great Tang? The Tang Dynasty had no choice but to rebel. Why doesn't my father understand these simple principles?
Thinking of this, Fan Lihua put down her chopsticks and stood up."Father, take good care of your tiger body. Leave the matter of guarding the city to me. Don't worry.”"I'm so relieved. You have to be more careful in front of the two armies." "I know. Mother, go back to your room and rest. I'll lead the troops to battle now."
