In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
That day, the Yue Clan Army arrived at a seemingly bustling town.
Yue Fei ordered the shopkeeper to take care of the horses and brought everyone to stroll on the streets, casually asking about the recent new things that had appeared in Jianghu.
Zhu Cuie was not idle either. She asked around for the whereabouts of the master and third senior brothers.
Wang Heng and Zhang Bao were still following Yue Fei.
When the people on the street saw Yue Fei in high spirits, they thought that Yue Fei was some young master who brought his bodyguards out to have fun. However, no matter how many times they racked their brains, they could not remember who he was. They only muttered in their hearts.
Suddenly, Wang Heng looked at the various swords and weapons hanging in the weapons shop and didn't leave. He clamored to buy a pendant.
Yue Fei had the same intention at that time, so everyone searched everywhere.
The streets were packed with people.
Everyone looked for a long time, and what they saw were all very ordinary goods, not as good as steel fire. Yue Fei suggested to go to the alley to take a look.
Suddenly, he saw a shop with a few antiques, some famous paintings, and five or six swords hanging on the innermost wall.
Yue Fei walked into the shop.
The shopkeeper hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands." Please take a seat, my lords. Do you want to buy anything?"”
Yue Fei saw that the shopkeeper had an extraordinary appearance and immediately returned the greeting.”
"Yes!" Yes!"
Then, he took out a knife, wiped it clean, and sent it over.
Yue Fei took it in his hand. He first looked at the scabbard, then took out the knife and said,"This kind of knife is for the outside. If there is a good one, take it and take a look!"”
The shopkeeper took out another sword.
Yue Fei didn't like it either.
He looked at it several times in a row, and it was always the same.
Yue Fei said,"Shopkeeper, if there's nothing good, I'll take my leave. There's no need to waste my time!"”
The shopkeeper was very unhappy." You've seen so many swords and sabers," he said." Don't tell me you don't like any?" I'd like to consult you!"
Yue Fei apologized,"If it's sold to the royal family, as long as it looks good, why not?" However, if he bought it at the lower grade, he would have to go into battle to defend himself and stabilize the country. How could he use it? If there really is something good, the price is up to you!!”
Wang Heng continued," That's right, that's right. I'll give you as much silver as you want. Don't use cold and sour words to fool people anymore!"”
The shop owner looked up at the Yue Clan Army brothers and said,"Do you really want good ones?" There was one, but it was in my humble abode. How about I lead you to take a look?"
Yue Fei said,"Since that's the case, there's no harm in going and taking a look!"”
The shop owner cupped his hands and said,"Please follow me!"”
Yue Fei said,"Please go first!"”
The shopkeeper closed the door and led the way.
Yue Fei took a closer look at the shopkeeper and saw that he was wearing a Jinyang scarf on his head, a piece of white jade hanging in front of him, wearing a blue Taoist robe, a pair of red shoes on his feet, and a golden fan in his hand. He was very elegant.
Yue Fei secretly marveled.
They walked more than a mile.
Everyone arrived at a manor gate.
The poplars on both sides were green, the earth walls were low, and there were two gates.
It was a good place!
The shop owner gently knocked on the door and a child came out. He opened the door and invited Yue Fei and the others into the thatched cottage. He bowed and sat down.
Xiao Tong served the tea and left.
"May I know your name, sir?" Yue Fei asked.”
"May I know your names and where you live?" the shopkeeper asked.”
"I'm from Henan. My name is Yue Fei!”
"My apologies, my apologies!" the shopkeeper said.”
Yue Fei then introduced the Yue Family Army's sworn brothers one by one.
However, he did not tell the shop owner about the Yue Family Army.
"What's there to be polite about? Hurry up and show us your treasure!”
"This brother is quite impatient," said the shopkeeper with a smile. My surname is Huang, and my name is Yiming!"
"I don't care if you're one or two, hurry up and take a look!"”
Yue Fei hurriedly said,"Sir, please don't take offense. My two brothers are hot-tempered, but they aren't bad people!"”
"But it's rare!" The shop owner laughed.
After saying that, he stood up and said,"Everyone, please wait for me. I'll go get the sword and ask for your advice!"”
He kept going in.
Wang Heng said," I'll go with you. Don't run away. I'll burn your house down!"”
"Brother, you can't talk nonsense!" Yue Fei scolded.”
After a while, Huang Yiming walked out with a sword case in his hand and placed it on the table.
"Please take a look at the sword, Brother Yue!"”
Yue Fei stood up and opened the sword case, only to see that the sword was wrapped in an extremely ordinary sheath.
He thought to himself, What kind of sword is this?”
He did not ask further.
He slowly picked up the sword, held the sheath with his left hand, and slowly pulled out the blade with his right hand.
Just three or four inches, he immediately felt the cold air pressing.
When it was completely pulled out, he looked at it for a while and hurriedly pushed it forward.
"Brother Huang, please take it in. Let's go!"”
"Since Brother Yue has seen it, why didn't you bargain? Don't you like it?" Huang Yiming asked in surprise.”
"As expected, it's still coaxing people!" Zhang Bao said.”
"No, no," said Yue Fei. Brother, this sword is priceless. We don't dare to think about it. Brother Huang, quickly take it.”
Zhu Cuie looked at the sword and said,"Young Master Yue, what kind of sword is so expensive? I don't think it's any different from the ones on the street!"”
"Zhu Si Gang Leader, you might not know this, but this sword has a history!"”
Huang Yiming took the sword. Hearing Yue Fei's words, he looked at Yue Fei and placed the sword on the table.”
Yue Fei got up and said,"No need, we'll part ways here!"”
Huang Yiming stopped him and said," I'm sure Brother Yue knows the origin of this sword and still wants to ask for advice. How can we just leave like this?"”
When he said this, Wang Heng's anger rose.
"You're a weirdo with your cow nose. Don't tell me you want us to stay for dinner?" Forget it, just give your broken sword to my young hero so that he won't be beaten up!”
"Brother, don't be impudent!" Yue Fei said.”
Wang Heng was scolded by him, and indeed, he stopped talking.
Yue Fei could only sit down again.
"I won't hide it from Brother Yue," Huang Yiming said."I'm a martial artist of the next generation, so I left this sword behind." Now, I have abandoned martial arts for three generations, so this sword is useless. The ancestor had once instructed his descendants,'If anyone in the future knows the origin of this sword, you can give it to him as a gift.'Since Brother Yue said that it was a treasured sword, please enlighten me. Who knows if it is the owner of this sword!”
Yue Fei humbly said,"I only suspect the origin of this sword, but I'm afraid that if I say it's not true, I'll become a laughing stock." Brother Huang, you must listen. If you are wrong, don't laugh at me!”
"Why do you say that, Brother Yue?" Huang Yiming asked. I'm all ears!"
When the Yue Family Army heard that the young hero knew the origin of the sword, they were all curious. Even Wang Heng and Zhang Bao, the two boorish people, did not say anything and listened to Yue Fei quietly.
Yue Fei said,"I once heard Master say that the sword of ancient and modern times can be said to be able to break dragons and cut elephants. For example, Longquan, Baihong, Moye, Yuchang, Zhanlu, and so on." Brother Huang, the sword in front of you gives off a chill when it is unsheathed. It must be the famous Zhanlu Sword. I wonder if it is true?”
"I hope Brother Yue can tell me about it in the future!" Huang Yiming said with a smile.”
Yue Fei continued," Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the King of Chu wanted to dominate the world. He heard that there was a man called Zhan Bake in the deep mountains of the State of Wei. He was an expert in sword forging, so he ordered people to summon him into the court.
When Zhan Ba arrived at the court, the audience had already ended.
The King of Chu said,"I have summoned you here for no other reason than to make you two good swords."'
Zhan Bake asked,"What kind of sword does Your Majesty want to make?"'
The King of Chu said,"I order you to forge a male and female sword. Both swords must fly up and kill when they see blood!" Can you make it for the Gu family?
At that time, Zhan Bake thought,'I've long heard that the King of Chu is violent and barbaric. If I say no, he will definitely not forgive me!'
He said,"I know how to make the sword, but it will take a long time. I'm afraid Your Majesty can't wait!"'
"What do you mean?" the King of Chu asked.
Zhan Bake said,"It will take five years to make this sword. That's why Your Majesty can't wait!"'
King Chu said,"It's fine. I'll give you five years. You must see the sword after five years!"'
So he gave him gold and silver satin.
Zhan Bake thanked him and left the court. When he returned home, he told his wife about the matter. He left the gold and silver satin at home and went to the mountains to forge a sword.
He made two more, making a total of four.
After five years, the sword was indeed forged. Zhan Baku returned home and said to his wife," I'm going to offer a sword to the Chu Kingdom today. The King of Chu is vicious and cruel. With this sword, he must be worried that I'll be made by someone else. He must kill me to prevent future troubles.
The foolish man thought carefully. He would die anyway. It was better to leave the male and female swords buried in the ground at home and only send the two fake swords to the king of Chu.
His sword can't fly up to kill people when it sees blood. The king of Chu will definitely kill me.
If a good wife hears this, don't cry sadly. Wait until your pregnancy is full for ten months. If you give birth to a daughter, it's fine.
If you give birth to a son, please take good care of him and give him the male sword so that he can avenge his father. I will protect him in the afterlife.'
The husband and wife parted in sorrow.
Zhan Bake came to Chu.
When the King of Chu heard that he had presented the sword as scheduled, he was overjoyed and led the civil and military officials to the drill ground to test the sword.
As expected, he couldn't fly and kill.
Think about it, the King of Chu waited for five years in vain. Naturally, he would not let it go and killed Zhan Bake.'
Zhan Bake's wife found out about the bad news at home, but she didn't dare to cry.
He was careful in every aspect.
In October, she gave birth to a boy and a girl, so she raised them carefully.
At the age of seven, she was sent to school to study.
One day, he was playing with the students in the school. The students scolded the siblings for being fatherless.
The brother and sister went home crying and asked their mother for their father.
His mother burst into tears and told her brother and sister about what had happened.
The siblings wanted to ask for the sword, so their mother had to dig up the soil and take out the sword.
The siblings carried their swords on their backs and thanked their mother for raising them. They wanted to go to the State of Chu to take revenge on their father.
His mother said,"How can you two Ji Shangyou go?"'
He regretted saying it too early, so he hanged himself.
The brother and sister burned down the house and cremated their mother. They each carried a sword and walked to the foot of the Seven Mile Mountain. They did not know the way and cried day and night.
On the third day, blood flowed out of his eyes.
Suddenly, he saw two Taoists coming down from the mountain, claiming to be the male Zhanlu and the female Zhanlu.
He asked,'Why are your eyes bleeding?'
The fatherless siblings told him about their revenge.
Xiong Zhanlu said to the boy,"You two are so young, how can you take revenge?" How could the King of Chu get close to him? Why don't I go on your behalf, but I have to get something from you.'
The boy said,"I'm willing to take my head!"'
Xiong Zhanlu said,"That's right."
When the boy heard this, he knelt down and said,"If I can avenge my father, why don't I turn around?!'
He bowed a few times to Daoist Xiong Zhanlu and got up to commit suicide.
The female Zhanlu took the girl and the female Zhanlu sword away.
Xiong Zhanlu took the boy's head, hung the Zhanlu Sword on his neck, and headed to Chu.
When he arrived in Chu, he would only cry outside the Wu Gate in the morning and evening.
The soldiers reported to the court, and the king of Chu sent officials out to inquire.
Xiong Zhanlu said,"I came to deliver the Immortal Fruit, but unfortunately, no one saw it, so I was sad."'
The soldiers returned to report to the king of Chu.
Lord Chu was thinking of immortality, so he said happily,""Summon him in."
Xiong Zhanlu entered the court and took out the child's head.
When the King of Chu saw this, he said angrily,"This is a human head. How can it be an immortal fruit?" Kill him!
Xiong Zhanlu said,"Your Majesty, please listen to me. I only need four days to obtain the Immortality Pill."'
The king of Chu asked Xiong Zhanlu to cast a spell quickly.
Xiong Zhanlu said,"You can take a basin of fertile soil and bury that person's head in it.
Then take the pregnant woman's unclean things, morning and evening watering.
On the first day, the head met something unclean and melted into the soil.
On the second day, an immortal tree grew out of the basin with luxuriant branches and leaves.
On the third day, the Immortal Tree bloomed.
On the fourth day, the Immortal Tree bore fruit, which was the Immortal Fruit.'
The king of Chu then ordered the people around him to fetch the soil in the basin and ordered Xiong Zhanlu to do as he said.
Sure enough, four days later, the fruit of immortality formed, it looked like it had no head, and it could make a human voice.
When all the civil and military officials in the court heard it call out 'Great King', they all cheered.
Xiongzhan Lu then invited the king to pick the fruit of immortality.
King Chu went down to take it, but the immortal fruit suddenly turned into a sword.
He cursed,'Stupid ruler, eat my sword!'He chopped off King Chu's head with one sword.
All the civil and military ministers saw this and came to arrest Xiong Zhanlu.
Who knew that Xiong Zhanlu suddenly turned into a puff of green smoke and attached itself to the Zhanlu sword, disappearing.
The ministers were in chaos and went to grab the Zhanlu Sword.
The Clear Sable Sword had gotten its revenge and became very obedient, allowing everyone to take it.
The ministers had no choice but to bury the King of Chu and Zhan Lu Xiongjian in the coffin.
Because the two Daoists were known as the male and female Clear Sable, and there were two Clear Sable Swords, the world had the saying that there were two Clear Sable Swords, male and female.
Zhanlu male sword Tang Dynasty Xue Rengui once got it, but the female sword is missing. May I ask if Brother Huang has the Clear Sable Sword?”
When Huang Yiming heard this, he couldn't help but smile.""Brother Yue is indeed a ***, not bad at all.”
So he got up and took the sword from the table, handing it to Yue Fei with both hands and said,""This sword has been buried for many years, and only today did it meet a famous master. Brother Yue, please put it away! In the future, he will definitely become the pillar of the country and live up to the last words of my ancestors.”
"How could I dare to take someone else's treasure?" Yue Fei said. Brother Huang, please accept it!"
Huang Yiming said," This is the order of our ancestors. If I disobey it, I will be humiliating our ancestors. Don't refuse!"”
Yue Fei couldn't delay it again and again, so he had to agree.
"I'll have to trouble Brother Yue to accept the sword!" Huang Yiming said happily.”
"Of course!" Yue Fei said.
So he and Huang Yiming went to his ancestor's tablet, Yue Fei kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times.
Huang Yiming took out a sword manual from the crevice of the incense table and handed it to Yue Fei. He said," Brother Yue, the Zhanlu Grand Sword is extremely spiritual. It protects its owner and destroys evil. Once it sees blood, it will start a massacre. No one can stop it. Please be careful. Today, I'm giving you a sword manual. Go back and study it." Now that the country is in trouble, it's time to use people. Brother Yue is outstanding. It's not difficult to be a general. This sword can help you. Be careful!”
Yue Fei was pleasantly surprised and immediately kowtowed three more times to thank him for the gift. He put the sword on his waist and everyone bid farewell.
The Yue Family's army came to congratulate you when they saw that you got a sword without spending a penny.
Yue Fei had this sword and regarded it as a treasure.
From then on, the sword never left his body, and he was very familiar with the Zhanlu Swordsmanship.
However, he remembered Huang Yiming's parting words. From then on, no matter what kind of situation he encountered, he never used this sword.
It was May, and the weather was getting hotter.
The Yue Family Army was rushing on their way when suddenly, a series of faint rumbling sounds came from ahead.
Everyone was shocked.
Yue Fei ordered them to stop moving forward and sent people to investigate.
After a while, they received a report from the front,"Countless soldiers and horses have appeared in the mountains ahead, and it seems like they are about to fight."
Yue Fei thought to himself, Could it be that the Jin soldiers are invading?”
Hurriedly urging the troops to move forward, everyone used all their strength to climb up the mountain.
Looking down, the scene at the foot of the mountain was eye-opening.
