Chapter 78: Tomb of the Living Dead
Xie Xun was the king of children when he was young, and there were several other children who also practiced with him. However, Xie Hu was the youngest, the hardest-working, and the best at practicing, so he was taught Xingyi and Tongji one after another.
Later, Xie Xun became a disciple of Cheng Kun and learned Cheng Kun's martial arts, but did not teach it to Xie Hu.
Xie Xun left home after leaving home. Although Xie Hu was young, he knew how to be grateful. He was very grateful to Xie Xun and often went to Xie Xun's house to visit Xie's father and mother.
There was no news from Xie Xun for several years, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead. Xie Hu had a simple mind, so he went to Xie Xun's house to be a son for Xie Xun's parents. Xie Xun's parents also liked this simple child very much, so they adopted him as their adopted son.
Xie Xun came home last year and learned this. He was also very grateful to Xie Hu for fulfilling his responsibilities as a son in the past few years. Seeing that he had been practicing boxing hard and had already practiced well, he passed on some of the "Nine Yang Manual" to him.
basic mentality.
When I returned home this time, I found that Xie Hu had made some progress, and he gave more careful guidance.
After Xie Xun taught Xie Hu how to practice, he said: "Little Hu'er, it's good that you practice boxing hard, but internal skills are so mysterious that they don't just need to be practiced hard. You have to read more. Reading can make people understand.
The truth is, you can get twice the result with half the effort if you practice your skills."
Xie Hu scratched his head and said with a red face: "Brother, I like to practice boxing, but I don't like reading. When I sit there, I feel sleepy when I read a book, but I feel energetic when I practice boxing."
Xie Xun was also helpless. It was not Xie Hu's fault that he felt sleepy while reading, so he could only say: "It's really hard for you to read a lot of books. Then you can just read the books I gave you. Books are good things.
There is great wisdom in it. Even if you don’t like reading it, you still have to persevere and just treat it as a practice.”
Xie Hu said happily: "Okay! I'm stupid and can't read so many words, and I also like to listen to my elder brother telling stories."
Xie Xundao: "What I'm telling is not a story, but a truth."
Xie Hu said: "Yes, yes, yes! Big brother is talking about truth, and I also like to listen to what big brother is talking about."
Xie Xun said: "Besides, what I'm talking about is my understanding of the book. You will have your own understanding after reading it yourself."
Xie Hu said: "I don't have to have my own understanding, I just listen to big brother's understanding."
Xie Xun couldn't do anything to him. He was either too lazy to practice martial arts or too lazy to use his brain.
Xie Xun felt bored after staying at home for a while. The life in the fields was really not suitable for his status as a martial arts master. If he wanted to stay, he had to stay among the martial arts crowd!
Xie Xun told his parents, and they saw that he was doing nothing, so they stopped trying to persuade him to stay.
When Xie Hu heard that Xie Xun was leaving again, he came to find Xie Xun and said, "Brother, please take me with you this time. I also want to make a career in the world."
Xie Xun smiled and said: "How can you make it in the world at such a young age?"
Xie Hu said: "You're not young anymore. When you left home, you weren't much older than me. Besides, I didn't go out on my own, so I followed you. With me following you, you can leave all the trivial matters to me.
Just be the master and I will serve you."
Xie Xun smiled and said: "Then I will no longer become an exploiting class. Do your parents agree?"
Xie Hu said: "I agree, they will feel relieved to go out with you."
Xie Xun said: "Okay, then I will return to my old fortune as a landlord, and let's go."
This time I went out, my destination was the Lu family in Wuzhong. I took my time and wandered around a bit along the way. I also wanted to visit some martial arts figures.
Xie Xun no longer cared about ordinary martial arts figures, even the so-called decent ones.
The first thing Xie Xun thought of was the Tomb of the Living Dead.
I don’t know if the Condor Hero Yang Guo is still alive at this time. If he is still alive, he should be more than ninety years old.
When Xie Xun came to Zhongnan Mountain, the Chongyang Palace was in ruins, and the largest sect in the world at that time was gone.
Wang Chongyang is known as the best in the world and the first of the five great powers. Qiu Chuji went to the Western Regions to meet Genghis Khan, which brought the Quanzhen sect to its peak. Unfortunately, there was no successor and Chongyang Palace was breached.
By the spring of 1258, Mongke Khan ordered Kublai Khan to organize a massive Wuwu Buddhist and Taoist Debate, which was unprecedentedly fierce. Phagpa was born, and the Quanzhen Sect suffered a complete defeat. Seventeen Taoist priests were ordained, and Taoism declined.
Tantric Buddhism has confirmed its status, and the Yuan Dynasty has always had an overwhelming advantage over Taoism.
For some unknown reason, in the third year of Emperor Wuzong's reign in the Yuan Dynasty (1310 AD), the emperor suddenly named the founder of the Quanzhen sect, and the Quanzhen sect, which had fallen out of favor, gained some momentum.
Xie Xun took Xie Hu around the Chongyang Palace and came to the ancient tomb in the back mountain.
Xie Xun said in a deep voice: "Junior Xie Xun, please pay homage to the Condor Hero." The voice spread far away.
If Xie Xun wants to enter the ancient tomb, he should search carefully and find the entrance. But Xie Xun is not here for the martial arts in the ancient tomb, but to visit the master.
After a while, a handsome old man with one arm came out.
Xie Xun was shocked and thought to himself: "He is indeed still alive." He quickly stepped forward to prostrate himself and said: "Meet the Condor Hero!"
This old handsome guy has white beard and hair, and there are many wrinkles on his face, but he still gives people a handsome feeling. His right sleeve is empty and tucked around his waist.
The handsome old man smiled and said, "You are so young, but you actually remember Yang."
Xie Xun said: "Senior Yang's feat of flying rocks to kill Meng Gehan has always been a role model for our generation."
Yang Guo shook his head and smiled: "It happened so long ago that I can't even remember it."
Yang Guo began to live in seclusion when he was in his thirties. Although he was not isolated from the world, he rarely walked around the world. In the past few decades, he had begun to regard Wudang Zhang Sanfeng as the supreme martial arts king.
When Yang Guo was young, he had a proud personality and was known as "Western Madness". But he didn't care about these false reputations. He only had love with Xiao Longnu in his heart. He quit the world at a young age. When he got older, he became even more humble. However, he was mentioned by such a junior.
thing, I'm still very happy.
Yang Guo asked: "Xie Xiaoyou, why did you come to this ancient tomb?"
Xie Xun replied respectfully: "Nothing special. I passed by Zhongnan Mountain and saw the dilapidated Chongyang Palace. I sighed in my heart. I came to this ancient tomb just to try my luck and see if I have a chance to see the Condor Hero.
"
Yang Guo said: "So, you are very lucky. If you meet me before I die, we are destined. I am ninety-three years old this year, and you will not be able to see me in a few years."
Xie Xun didn't know how to answer the question for a moment and was stunned.
Yang Guo smiled and said: "Don't be formal. Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural things. At my age, there is nothing we can't talk about."
Xie Xun said: "Senior Yang is open-minded, and I have admired his character for a long time. He used to be a swordsman and a chivalrous man. His reputation as a heroic hero is admirable, so I came to Zhongnan Mountain for a visit."
Yang Guo shook his head and said: "What kind of hero am I? When it comes to heroes, who can compare to Daxia Guo? Who is qualified to evaluate Daxia Guo, who is the best in the world?" Thinking of Guo Jing, he sighed in his heart.
At the third Huashan sword debate, it was no longer necessary to take action. After a few people talked, they decided on the "Five Best Skills in the World", which was a bit like "discussing heroes over wine".
But from the beginning to the end, Guo Jing did not say a word, and he had nothing to do with these comments. These things were not in his mind. He was thinking about the fate of Xiangyang, the future of the Han people, and who was "the best in the world".
it does not matter!
Xie Xundao: "Daxia Guo is also the person I admire the most. A great hero serves the country and the people. Daxia Guo has spent his life fighting the Mongols, but it is a pity that the court is incompetent. Daxia Guo is alone and hates Xiangyang. I only regret that I was born too late and cannot
Follow Guo Daxia. We Han people are a hundred times more powerful than Mongols. If Guo Daxia is here, he can rise up and drive the Mongols back to the grassland."
When Yang Guo heard him talk about "a great chivalrous man, he serves the country and the people", he felt even deeper in his heart.
Back then, at the top of Xiangyang City, Guo Jing had an idea and said it just to educate himself. He didn't expect that this young man also knew this sentence.
I have failed Uncle Guo’s teachings.
Even though he had superb martial arts skills, he was willing to live in seclusion and live his own life, while Guo Jing led his whole family to defend Xiangyang until death, feeling ashamed in his heart.
Looking at the young man in front of him, he is young but very mature. What is rare is that he still has such a heart to help the world, and said: "Guo Daxia has given everything he has for the Han people, and the rest depends on you young people."
It’s done. Don’t expect anything from these heroes. Since you have ambition, you can be the person who raises the flag yourself.”
Xie Xun said: "I was young and ill-informed, and when I came out to travel around the world, I saw that the world was going to be in chaos. The Mongols were barbaric, and the Huru had no luck for a hundred years. They had oppressed the Han people for many years, and it was time for us, the Han people, to rise up and resist. I was just thinking of adding more people.
Gain knowledge, make friends with like-minded people in the world, and work together to drive out the Tartars."
Yang Guo said: "It's rare that you have the same heart."
Xie Xun changed the subject and asked: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes, a good story in the world. I wonder if Senior Long is still here. Can I pay my respects to you?"
Yang Guo was stunned. This young man had great ambitions. I thought he came to the ancient tomb this time not for martial arts but for fame. Why did he suddenly start gossiping about the love between his children?
Yang Guo said: "My wife is indeed still here. I didn't expect that there are still young people in the world who want to see her."
Xie Xun said: "The love between the two seniors has touched not only the world, but it is what young people in the world dream of."
Yang Guo remembered that when he was young, he was deviant, and his love with Xiao Longnu was not tolerated by the world. He even had a fierce conflict with Guo Jing. It was not without this reason that he had retired to seclusion at a young age. This young man was actually very envious, and his feelings for him increased.
Feeling good about it, he called out Xiao Longnu too.
At this time, Xiao Longnu was nearly a hundred years old, with snow-white hair, but she looked much younger than Yang Guo. There were some wrinkles on her face, but she was still beautiful.
Yang Guo was in a rough situation when he was young. He had a fierce temperament and was very happy and sad.
However, Xiao Longnu has a cold temperament, while Jade Girl is ruthless and can keep her appearance best. When they meet again, they already look younger than Yang Guo.
Later, she married Yang Guo, and she finally became more down-to-earth, but she still had a calm temperament. Even if she no longer continued to practice the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, she still looked young.
