Although Qu Feiyan is young, he is extremely smart, and he is believed to be quite talented in martial arts. He has just followed Qu Yang in the Sun and Moon God Sect since he was a child, and his temperament has become weird and extremely extreme.
Now that her grandfather Qu Yang was seriously injured and died by the Songshan Sect, the hatred in her heart can be seen. When she grows up, she will definitely be detrimental to the Wuyue Sword Sect. Is it appropriate for her to teach her martial arts rashly?
Liu Meng held his chin with one hand, his eyes flickering, still unsure whether he could train this talented and intelligent girl well.
Qu Feiyan was a kid. Seeing Liu Meng sitting there hesitating, he immediately took a step back, knelt down, and said sadly: "My parents died long ago, and I only depended on my grandfather. Now that my grandfather is gone, the world is big."
, but no one cares about me. Uncle Liu, you said you would take care of me for grandpa, but you don’t mean what you said."
At the end of the sentence, he started to cry with sobs and tears on his face, which made people look very pitiful.
Yilin was soft-hearted, and hated to see others sad. Her eye circles were red at the moment. She quickly went to help Qu Fei smoke up, and comforted her: "Sister of the Qu family, Donor Liu didn't say he doesn't care about you. Don't cry, be good." Again.
He turned to Liu Mengken and begged: "Liu...Uncle Liu, little sister Qu is so pitiful. You are so good at martial arts, so you pity her for being so little and alone."
Yilin's voice was soft and light, which was very pleasant to hear. Liu Meng raised his eyes and saw tears about to roll out of his beautiful eyes. He looked at himself with pleading, looking pitiful and cute.
Sighing, Liu Meng felt a rare softness in his heart.
He stretched his fingers and looked at the table and said: "Everyone, get up." Then he said to the poor Qu Feiyan: "My current identity is the elder Ke Qing of the Hengshan Sect. 'The Five Mountains Sword Sect is like a branch.'
You must have heard of it, but I don’t know how to deal with the deep hatred between you and the Songshan Sect.”
After a pause, Liu Meng said slowly: "If I asked you to only eliminate the first culprit and leave the others alone, would you be willing?" Qu Feiyan's face was startled, and he hesitated without answering.
Liu Meng said: "I attach great importance to the character of my disciples, and I never want anyone to disrespect my teacher. Think carefully about whether it is appropriate to worship me as your teacher."
Martial arts are all practiced slowly. Although everyone's talents are different, if they are taught according to their aptitude, they will eventually become successful one day. If the character is not good, what can he do if he is a genius? In the end, he is nothing but a disaster to the world. He is eradicated by everyone's joint efforts.
On the contrary, it will damage the reputation of the master. It’s okay not to accept this kind of disciple.
Besides, I have never accepted a disciple before, so this is my first time, so I naturally have to be cautious.
After a simple lunch, Liu Meng took out a few taels of gold he had with him and asked the innkeeper to help hire a large cart. After the disciples of the Hengshan Sect were ordered to deliver the guide, he took Yilin and Qu Feiyan with him all the way.
Go north and follow the route that Master Dingyi and others left.
The masters of the Hengshan sect were just walking, and it was difficult to use Qinggong to move in broad daylight. Therefore, they walked very slowly. Liu Meng hadn't caught up to Changsha yet, and he was found in a temple in the south of Xiangtan County on the afternoon of the second day.
He joined the Hengshan sect and his party.
Master Dingyi hates evil and is extremely conservative when it comes to the protection of men and women. Seeing that such a delicate and pretty female disciple like Yilin was sent to a wealthy and handsome young master, how could she not be suspicious? She immediately looked a little gloomy.
.
Liu Meng understood in his heart and laughed. He showed his jade pendant and said: "Brother, don't be upset, I am the new elder of the Hengshan sect. It would be inconvenient to see my nephew Yilin traveling alone. I happened to be going to Changsha, so I took him with me on the way.
One ride.”
Hearing what the other party said, Master Dingyi checked the jade pendant again, and then she turned her anger into joy and saluted: "Junior brother Liu, don't blame me. I am a very kind disciple. I am afraid that I will be betrayed without knowing it." Again.
He turned to Yilin and shouted: "Thank you soon, Uncle Liu!"
Yilin's jade-like cheeks turned red. Although she didn't understand how Master Liu suddenly became Uncle Liu, she still obeyed the master's order, clasped her hands together and said, "Yilin thanks Master Liu for taking care of me all the way."
Qu Feiyan had been getting along with Yilin very happily these past two days. Although he was very smart, he was still young after all. He pulled Yilin's clothes, his eyes turned red, and was reluctant to leave. Yilin said softly: "Qu Xiao
Sister, how about Master and I beg for mercy, and you also become a member of our Hengshan Sect, and then we can practice martial arts and study scriptures together, and I can take care of you."
Stunned for a moment, Qu Feiyan turned to look at Master Dingyi with a solemn face, and then at the nuns in veiled clothes following her. She couldn't help but shudder, and quickly refused: "Sister Yilin,
I still want to learn kung fu from Uncle Liu, so you must come and see me when you have time."
Master Dingyi recognized this lovely girl and liked her intelligence and wit very much. When Yilin invited her to join the Hengshan Sect, she was looking forward to it. But when she heard that she refused and wanted to follow this young elder of the Hengshan Sect, she felt in her heart
I can't help but feel a little disappointed.
But then I thought about it, the Hengshan Sect has suffered such a drastic change, and its vitality has been seriously damaged. If you slowly cultivate such good talents and jade, you can recover in ten years. As a member of the Wuyue Sword Sect, you should be happy for them.
.
Master Dingyi immediately smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations to Junior Brother Liu for recruiting a good disciple. The Hengshan Sect will surely grow stronger day by day."
After a few words of humility, Liu Meng took his leave. He arrived at Changsha City on the third day and spent half a day sightseeing before finding a clean inn to stay at.
In the dead of night, Liu Meng sneaked out of the inn quietly, walked around the city for a while, and after seeing no one following him, he went straight to the mansion he had been eyeing during the day, found the prefect who was as fat as a pig, and collected some gold, silver and flowers.
use.
Ill-gotten gains should be taken with no regrets.
After all, it was all about the people's wealth, but Liu Meng didn't feel any burden at all. So overnight, the residences of several famous money-making experts in Changsha City were raided by snitches, ranging from a thousand taels to a few hundred taels, all of which were sufficient.
All the pure gold was taken away by Liu Meng in the name of the Jade-faced Flying Young Master.
After I came here, I only brought a dozen taels of gold for emergencies, which was not enough to spend. Besides, the era of The Swordsman was countless times more powerful than the era of The Deer and the Cauldron, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and The Heaven Slaying Dragon. It was hard to come here.
In this prosperous age, you cannot treat yourself badly.
Nearly three thousand taels of gold were collected, and at dawn the next day, Liu Meng took Qu Feiyan out of the city and left. He continued northbound, and after two days of playing in Yueyang, he deposited the gold in a bank and exchanged it for some silver in different denominations.
After passing the ticket, I transferred to Zhuzhou and returned to Hengyang.
With money, nothing was impossible in the mid-Ming Dynasty when commerce was highly developed.
As an elder of the Hengshan sect, he naturally wanted to make Hengshan his home base. Liu Meng was not willing to live in the Nanyue Palace with everyone, let alone live in an inn.
At that moment, I found a disciple of the Hengshan sect who was familiar with the place and looked at several houses in Hengyang City. Finally, I bought a three-bedroom apartment outside the north gate. I simply packed it up and moved in.
This courtyard was built by a businessman from Kaibu Village. A small river was dug around it for fire prevention. There is only a large living room in the front yard and two rows of side rooms on the left and right; there is a small garden in the middle yard with brick
It is a two-story building with a mixed wooden structure and a surrounding wing. The backyard is completely covered with warehouses for storing cloth and other items.
Liu Meng did not plan to live in this courtyard permanently, so he only bought a few daily necessities, but the others remained the same. However, he was very concerned about one thing and did not care about it at all. He even spent half a month on a trip to Wuchang himself.
Desire for food and drink is of great importance and cannot be ignored.
The world of foodies will never be understood by others.
He spared no effort and rode a fast horse to Wuchang Mansion, but he brought back a short and fat chef.
The most famous Taibai Restaurant in Wuchang Prefecture, the chef Sun Yimiao's cooking skills are extremely exquisite in Wuchang Prefecture, especially the cooking of river fish. It is said that the former prefect who was transferred to the capital never forgets it.
I wrote many letters to invite him to come to Beijing; some wealthy merchants from Jianghuai Province traveled thousands of miles just to taste the steamed Jiangxi dumplings.
This was all because Liu Meng heard the delicious food mentioned by diners when he was dining in Yueyang, so he went to try it himself and found that it suited his taste.
It took a lot of effort for Liu Meng to invite such a famous person. First, he found the owner of Taibai Restaurant, flattened an ingot of gold and kneaded it into noodles. Then he paid four hundred taels of silver to pay for the loss of job-hopping.
He asked the other party to immediately terminate Sun Yimiao's contract and then hire him at a high price of fifteen taels of silver per month.
Hengyang is just a county town, and there is no delicious and tender Jiangtuan. But how can Sun Yimiao only know how to cook one dish? The same ingredients, with his skillful hands, turned into a rare delicious meal, which Liu Meng praised repeatedly.
. Even Qu Feiyan temporarily forgot about the pain of bereavement and clapped his hands and praised the meal with his mouth watering.
Liu Meng was so greedy for enjoyment that the next day the news reached the ears of the headmaster Mo Da, who also gave a subtle reminder, but he suffered from his clumsiness in speaking, and Liu Meng was far from Liu Zhengfeng, who had no servants in his house.
Two servants, a groom and a porter, plus two handymen in the kitchen who helped Sun Yimiao, and an honest disciple from Hengshan was selected to be the housekeeper and accountant. The large courtyard with three entrances was still empty.
Empty and unpopular.
After much deliberation, Liu Meng asked Fang Qianju, who was responsible for the daily affairs of the Hengshan Sect, to recommend several young and smart disciples to come to the front yard every afternoon to practice swordsmanship with Qu Feiyan.
Qu Feiyan was young but had a very stubborn temper. After returning from Yueyang, she knelt outside Liu Meng's room that night, begging her to be accepted as his apprentice. She also swore to obey her master's instructions, never kill innocent people indiscriminately, and never behave like her grandfather.
Criticize the Demon Sect’s old brothers and never do anything detrimental to the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
To be honest, with Qu Feiyan's cleverness and good bones, Liu Meng was not very reluctant to accept her as his apprentice. He was just worried that she had lived with Qu Yang and other people from the Sun and Moon God Sect since she was a child, and that she would be taught bad things about kindness.
Evil, the three views are not correct, and I am not very good at educating others. Don't teach a ruthless female devil by then.
At this time, when they saw the little girl Qu Feiyan swearing, tears welling up in her eyes, looking pitiful. In addition, Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng had always admired her, so they couldn't help but sigh and officially accepted her as their disciple.
