第七百零二章 独臂握剑(1 / 2)

酒剑四方 凉凉不加班 1547 字 2022-09-20

剑王山外数百里处,许久之前多添了处田舍。

本就是地处偏僻,此间无人家,仅有这一处草庐。

结庐人乃是个毛发稀疏日暮残年的老头,光看衣裳朴素得紧,就跟天底下大多躬耕多半生的田舍翁一般,无论怎么看,都是个老实本分的寻常老翁,且腿脚已有些不利落,终日外出时节颤颤巍巍,还不忘使长杆粘起深林中几枚素色蝉,大抵是用以填补家用。

老汉身边还跟着一位年轻人,常着灰衣,却是比寻常人少了一臂,时常没精打采,困意绵长,且稍有不如意,便是要朝老汉骂上几句撒气,几十里外市集之中,曾有不少小贩曾见过这等奇景,失却右臂的灰衣年轻人,追着位脚步蹒跚的老汉,足足骂上一路,而老汉依旧神情平淡,似是患有耳疾,全然不曾听见那独臂人叫骂,同市集中商贩买来许多粮种草种,乃至还有两兜树种,不急不躁,缓缓离去。

今日草庐极热,原本若说草庐周遭皆是绿树环绕古木参天,尚可遮挡大半日光,那接连几日雨水才歇,升腾而起,譬如蒸酒那般,除却热浪滚滚之外,湿气奇足,寻常人立身草庐当中,浑身上下都似是蒙上层水气,草庐四壁处处有水滴滚落。

袁本末盘膝坐到床榻处,面对眼前窗棂,左手挽住枚蒲扇,拼命扇风,却死活也难觉半点凉快意味,如今倒恨不得遭天阳狠狠暴晒上整日,也不愿身在这等湿热生瘴的地界,于是心头越发烦闷,蒲扇都是险些甩断扇杆,偏偏窗外无风,好容易扇动起的凉风,哪有半点凉意可言,扑面而来尽是滚热湿气,绝无丁点凉爽。

“娘的,也不挑个好些的地界安家落户,旁人筑庐都是挑冬暖夏凉的好去处,老混账却专门挑这冬寒夏热的偏僻破地,迟早生生气死到这荒山野岭。”

再难忍将下来滚热天景的袁本末放下折扇,使左手撑起身子,踉跄走到草庐外头,又是一阵烦闷,甭管是草庐内外皆是潮热万分,纹丝不动且是难觅清风,当下就没半点好气,朝不远处背对草庐盘膝而坐的老者道,“你倒是高明,你了不起,能同坐禅一般僵死在此地,老子却是忍不得,要前去山溪处冲个凉爽,今日晚时不归,你自求多福便是,别自行死在外头就好。”

深林当中有一处溪流,溪水常清,算是这夏日深林中难得的凉爽物。

天晓得才入夏不久,袁本末身在山溪当中浸过多少时日,总归是四野无人,索性一丝不挂浸入溪中,得一晌清凉,且可将种种纷乱冗杂心事放下,当然就情愿前来此间,而不驻足草庐。

“怨老朽不教你高明剑术?”背对草庐的老汉呵呵一笑,起身抖净衣裳上浮土,目光坦然,“与其说是我不愿教,还不如说你始终不曾迈出这步去,说来也是件很不容易的事,右手握剑十几春秋,突然被人斩去一臂,再换用左手运剑,谈何容易,起码要比世间人传言中难上许多。”自那日雨中剑气腾空直起过后,袁本末便再也不曾施展过剑气,原本言语说得掷地有声,可自从前来这地界过后,却绝口不提学剑一事,老者更是沉得住气,同样也是从未说起过事关境界或是剑气种种,反而真像是个寻常的田舍翁,从集市中买来许多菜种草种,终日浇园灌水,似乎已然忘却当初两人对谈。

“你要是乐意传,老子怎会不学,”袁本末气得浑身微颤,指点老者鼻尖骂起,“既然是瞧不起独臂,先前又为何要一劝再劝,而今真到了此间,迟迟不提学剑,明摆是瞧不上我袁本末独臂,既然如此,我又为何要舍弃,面皮低三下四同你讨个剑术,倒不如拖将下去,也算是吃穿无忧。”

老者一如以往,也不动肝火,更是神情不变,指指草庐前三丈远近处插到泥土中的长剑,面容和善。

“剑就在那插着,拔将出来并不是难事,右臂没了尚有左臂,左臂没了大可用口齿,要是想拔剑,怎么都能拔,不妨想想,我要传的剑术高低与否,对你袁本末而言,难道真的是重中之重?宁可一日中耗费几炷香光阴去死死盯着那柄剑,还不如亲手将他握在手上,这才是剑客。”

“你连剑都不敢握,或是没那等心气握,还说什么学剑?”

一番话说得袁本末哑口无言,滚动两回喉头,才悻悻低下头去,长长吐出口浊气。

虽还不曾见过老者正经出剑,可这言语锋芒却也极足,恰好戳到心窝里头。心气这两字确是最难温养,当初剑王山上那位犹如野山怪的瘦弱少年,剑术如何都不及袁本末高明,可当真动起剑来,分明浑身破绽奇多,可无论如何出剑,都是难有分毫上风,反而是那瘦弱少年似是有走马观花过目不忘天资,数合之间,将袁本末剑术尽窥分明,再无胜算可言。

到如今袁本末睡梦当中,也时常可瞥见那少年狠辣笑意,与一手堪称卓绝的快剑,处处疏漏,但每逢深入时节,总觉误入白虎堂森罗殿,步步杀机,惊得夜半醒转。

“人之天资生来有高低,但你也不见得比那野少年逊色,起码迈出山门时那阵剑气,老朽已经许多年不曾见过,厚积薄发,亦算是天资。”老人瞧袁本末神色依旧低沉,毫不在意,走到后者身前,“倘若人人都凭天资过活,那这座江湖岂不是早就有定数,谁人应当做魁首,谁人应当为探花,但往往到头来那些位由少时锋芒毕露头角峥嵘之辈,并不曾叩问武道山巅。”
