85: Black list
On the rivers and lakes, there have always been rumors. It is said that "the fist returns to Longhua, and the sword goes out of Huashan". It means that in terms of fist and foot kung fu, there is no other sect in the world, which can surpass the Longhua Temple, which has seventy-two stunts. But when it comes to swordsmanship, the Huashan faction is the first.
Of course, the rumors may not be true. In terms of boxing alone, the Taijiquan of Zhenwu Palace is rigid with softness, and it is by no means under any miraculous skills in Longhua Temple. At the same time, since the seven major sword schools are all famous in the world, the sword skills of the six factions such as Emei, Kunlun, Qingcheng, Kongtong, Changbai, and Hainan may not be inferior to Huashan swordsmanship.
But in any case, it is not necessarily unfounded. Since there are such rumors in the rivers and lakes, it shows that the fist of Longhua Temple and the sword of the Huashan faction are indeed real. Being able to enjoy a great name is not a fluke.
But today, Cheng Li was alone, and he completely defeated the Huashan faction. Although the head of Huashan was invincible, even the Zhenshan Great Array of Huashan, the "Dutian Flame Sword Array", was easily cleaned up by Cheng Li like chopping melons and vegetables.
As a result, in the eyes of the other heads and disciples of the four factions in the restaurant, such as Qingcheng, Kunlun, Kongtong, and Emei, they were all dumbfounded, and even suspected that they were actually in a nightmare, unwilling to wake up and accept reality.
There is only one exception: Guan'er.
Standing here, she clearly witnessed with her own eyes how Cheng Li used the most direct, crisp, and violent methods to overturn and bring down all the enemies, including the head of Huashan. She saw more. Among the enemies who wept, slammed, wailed, and howled everywhere, Cheng Li stood awe-inspiring, like a Shura God of War who would never fall.
The heart, beating so fast and so fast. The cheeks become hot and hot. Wan'er's dark eyes opened wide, and she was reluctant to remove Cheng Li for a moment. That arrogant and invincible posture is deeply imprinted in Wan'er's memory. At this moment, she subconsciously understood. In my life, I will never forget this figure again.
The killing intent in Cheng Li's eyes gradually subsided. He turned around and glanced around at the Huashan Sect who had fallen all over the place. As far as the eye could see, the people of the Huashan Sect, who were originally wailing incessantly, instinctively closed their mouths, not daring to make any more sound. In an instant, the Yinfeng Pavilion Restaurant became silent.
After being silent for a long time, Cheng Li suddenly opened his mouth and said in a condensed voice: "Thirty years ago, the 150,000 troops of Fusang crossed the sea to invade Gaojuli Kingdom. Gao Ju Liguo was unable to resist, so he asked for help from Great Wei. ”
Gao Juli was a vassal of the Central Plains. The vassal is in trouble, and the suzerain sends troops to rescue, which can be described as an unshirkable responsibility. Therefore, Great Wei sent 200,000 troops to rescue Gao Ju Liguo. However, the army fought with Fusang, and immediately suffered several big losses under the Fuso kamikaze battalion.
Just because the leader of this kamikaze camp is the first master of Fuso, nicknamed the 'God of War' Heigoro Shinzuna. All the soldiers in the battalion are also famous masters of Fuso. Therefore, the kamikaze camp is unstoppable and invincible.
In order to fight against the kamikaze camp, the imperial court also issued a holy decree to the three major streams of martial arts, the seven sword sects, the eight great families, and the ten major gangs, requiring all families to send elite masters to form an army and serve the country. In the end, it also formed an elite. It was given the title of 'Longwu Battalion' by the imperial court.
In order to defeat the kamikaze battalion, in order to get rid of Heigoro Nobutsuna, the god of the Fuso army. The Central Plains Martial Arts can be said to have paid an extremely heavy price.
The three masters of the three sects, the five heads of the Seven Great Sword Sects, and nine elders, the heads of four of the eight great families, and ten Dharma protectors, the leaders of six of the ten major gangs, plus fourteen deputy leaders. A total of fifty-one mainstays of the Central Plains martial arts were either killed in heroic battles, or seriously injured and wasted, and finally succeeded reluctantly.
The bones of the arson are fragrant, and he is not ashamed of the world. These 51 seniors fought for the country and the people! Even if they died, they died greatly, and they died a hundred generations of admiration.
Millions of people all over the world will never forget their dedication. Even if a thousand years later, if someone mentions these fifty-one seniors, as well as all the soldiers in the Longwu Battalion, they will definitely give a thumbs up and praise: Good man!
Thirty years have passed. Now, the army of Fuso is making a comeback. The Fusang military god who was defeated and fled that year also made a comeback, and built a kamikaze camp again, vowing to wash away the shame of the defeat that day. But at the same time......"
Cheng Li paused, then glanced at the five major sword sects in the Yinfeng Pavilion Restaurant, and said coldly: "Where is the Dragon Martial Camp of the Central Plains Martial Arts?"
No one answered. Because they can't answer either. Looking at each other, whether it was the ambitious Shangguan Feipeng, the fierce and rude Why not accept it, the chic and lazy Baiyunjian, or the passable Qing Lingzi, they were all silent and instinctively lowered their heads.
Cheng Li waited for a long time before he snorted lightly and continued: "The imperial court will never force anyone to sacrifice. So, if you don't want to come forward again this time, then it doesn't matter. Since the imperial court is supported by all the people, it is natural that there will be people who eat the court's money to stand up.
However, the imperial court will never allow anyone to come out and pull the back legs of the imperial court at such a critical moment to resist foreign aggression. This kind of person and this kind of behavior, to put it mildly, is ignorant. However, if we put it more seriously, it is a foreign enemy, a national thief! a spy, and a public enemy of tens of millions of ordinary people in the Central Plains!"
These words, the tone is layered on top of each other, and after getting it, it is simply loud and loud. In an instant, many of the disciples of the Five Great Sword Sects turned even more red as pig's liver, and they seemed to have a thousand catties of boulder hanging on their necks, and they couldn't raise their heads at all.
Cheng Li snorted coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "What kind of place is this? What is Yangzhou! What kind of place is Yangzhou? Today, Yangzhou is the front line of the struggle against the Japanese invaders!"
Since you have come all the way to Yangzhou, then don't tell me that you have not seen those beings who have been attacked by the Japanese on the road, let alone that you do not know the current appearance of those villages. Now that you've seen it and know it, are you indifferent at all?"
Still no one spoke. The entire restaurant is filled with an extremely embarrassing air. Cheng Li snorted coldly, and said calmly: "If you say anything superfluous, I won't say it again." Again, you will not be asked to do anything.
But to be honest, before coming here today, I still have some expectations for the Seven Great Sword Sects, which are the pillars of the righteous path of the rivers and lakes. It's a pity that in the end, all expectations have only turned into disappointments. So today, I'm really wrong.
But that doesn't matter. At most, I've never been here today, and I've never seen you guys. You can stay or go back immediately. No matter what action is taken, there is no problem.
But if you finally choose to stay, and do not listen to the advice, and continue to do something that is painful to the relatives and quick to the enemy, to drag the imperial army back, and to let the Japanese invaders profit from it, then there is no doubt that you are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!
I will never tolerate this kind of spy who eats inside and out, has no shame, and has no principles! Even if I go to heaven and earth, I will definitely exterminate this spy and uproot it completely! If you violate this oath, you will be like this!"
Before the words fell, Cheng Li raised his right hand and grabbed it in the air. The sword that fell to the ground by a Huashan disciple was immediately pulled up in the air and automatically fell into Cheng Li's hand. Immediately after, he clasped his palms together and pressed in the middle. The entire steel long sword was pressed into a round iron ball, and it was violently and forcibly pinched, and there was not even a trace of space to be seen.
But that's not the end of it. In the next moment, Cheng Li pressed the round iron ball with both palms and pinched it hard. When the iron ball is landed, it is kneaded into a large mass of finely crushed iron powder. Just a flick of the hand, it has already dissipated with the wind, and it is no longer to be found.
Pat your palms to remove the iron filings that remain between your palms. Cheng Li didn't hesitate, turned around and left. Guan'er also grimaced at the heads of the four major sword sects, and hurried to catch up happily and took Cheng Li's arm. As he walked, he said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, the way you spoke just now is so heroic." ”
Cheng Li calmed down a little, didn't say much, just chuckled and rubbed Wan'er's hair, took her across the threshold of the restaurant together, and walked away.
The two of them had been gone for a long time, but the people in the Yinfeng Pavilion Restaurant were still stunned, and they didn't seem to have been able to recover from the blow just now.
After a long time, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and someone walked into the restaurant. Suddenly seeing the situation in the restaurant, the visitor couldn't help but be surprised, and said in a lost voice: "Hey? is the head of the Huashan faction? Why is he like this? There are also Senior Brother Huang and Senior Brother Wang, ah, even Senior Uncle Ning...... Hurry up and save people!"
Before the words fell, the comer immediately jumped to the side of the Huashan faction and began to treat them. The heads of the four factions, including Emei, Kunlun, Kongtong, and Qingcheng, heard the sound and movement, and they were all shocked, and they finally woke up like a dream, and finally came back to their senses.
stared intently, but saw that the person who came turned out to be a monk and a beggar. The monk has a handsome face, like a beautiful son. The beggar was also a young man of great skill. It is the new leader of the beggar gang, Dongfang Yun, and the "wonderful monk" monk Lihua from Longhua Temple.
Although these two people are a monk and a layman, they have a good relationship and often act together. It was not surprising to see both of them at the same time. It's just that the five major sword sects just made a big fool here, and when they suddenly saw their fellow martial artists again, they couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Dongfang Yun and Monk Hua did not have the slightest intention of laughing at the Five Great Sword Sects, but just concentrated on treating the injured Huashan Sect. Seeing that they had been busy for a long time, the heads of the four major sword sects also felt embarrassed. So they waved their hands and ordered their subordinates to come forward to help.
As the saying goes, if you don't learn to beat someone, you first learn to be beaten. But what happens after being beaten? Of course, you can't resist it, and you need to rely on various drugs to treat it. Therefore, the famous factions in the martial arts, each family has its own unique elixir, which has a unique effect on the treatment of internal and external injuries.
At this time, the people of the four major sword sects were able to take out the medicines they carried with them and work together to treat the people of the Huashan faction. With the concerted efforts, after only half an hour, all the injured have been properly disposed of. And they each moved into the ashram so that they could recuperate.
Dongfang Yun and Monk Hua wiped the sweat on their foreheads, and then came over to greet the heads of the four major sword sects. The four heads naturally returned the salute, and invited the two to sit in the private room on the second floor.
In the private room, a very exquisitely renovated banquet had already been set up, and it was originally intended to entertain Cheng Li. After all, even if it is a Hongmen banquet, there must always be a banquet, and it is impossible to invite people to come to the banquet seriously, but let people drink boiled water.
But the heads of the five major sword sects never expected that Cheng Li would not go to the second floor at all, and he would not be with the five major sword sects at all, wasting time to say some meaningless polite nonsense, and directly opened the skylight to say something. Therefore, this table of banquets, taking the lead did not come in handy at all, but now it is transferred to the flowers and trees, and it is used to entertain Dongfang Yun and Monk Hua, the two distinguished guests who unexpectedly appeared.
The two sides sat down and exchanged polite greetings for a while. Immediately, the topic shifted to the Huashan faction. At that moment, Shangguan Feipeng, the head of the Kunlun faction, covered his face with frost and told him what had just happened.
Naturally, in Shangguan Feipeng's mouth, he would never say that he and others tried to use the topic to play, and wanted to trample on Cheng Li like a stepping stone in order to become famous. I want to even hit the idea of the glazed treasure.
On the contrary, Shangguan Feipeng only said that he and others felt that the two bloody cases of Bai Yujing and Tai'an Mansion were quite suspicious, so they wanted to find Cheng Li to further understand the truth. But Cheng Li was rude and took the lead. not only hit Ren Daoran, the head of the Huashan faction, hard, but also ruthlessly injured everyone in the Huashan faction. It's really ruthless. In time, it will definitely be a big trouble for the henchmen of the righteous path of martial arts......
Dongfang Yun heard this, but obviously showed an expression of disbelief. frowned and said: "Master Shangguan, are you mistaken? Master Cheng Zhuang is not like such a ruthless person." When he was in Tai'an Mansion, he once fought with the owner of Cheng Zhuang in the next place. was obviously defeated in the next, but the owner of Cheng Zhuang still deliberately showed mercy to his subordinates in the end and let him go. It can be seen that he is kind-hearted, how can he be as arrogant and rude as the head of Shangguan said, and hurt people at every turn?"
Shangguan Feipeng snorted coldly: "Dongfang Gang Leader, the facts are all in front of you." Believe it or not. Hmph, Cheng Li, at a glance, you can know that he belongs to the kind of person who is righteous on the surface and difficult on the inside. Don't think that if he lets you go, he's a good person. The turmoil on the rivers and lakes is sinister, the people's hearts are treacherous, and many things cannot be prevented, the leader of the Eastern Gang. If you believe in others like this, you will suffer a big loss in the future. ”
Dongfang Yun still refused to believe it. The head of Emei next to him, Bai Yun, saw that they were not speculative, and seemed to be more and more stiff the more they talked. hurriedly came forward to play a round. asked: "Oriental Gang Leader, Master Lihua, why did you come to Yangzhou?"
The flower monk clasped his palms together and recited a word of Buddha. He sighed: "We heard about the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and we thought that the rise and fall of the country was the responsibility of the husband. Resisting foreign insults is the duty of chivalrous people of our generation. So I came to Yangzhou to see what we could do, and we could help.
Along the road, we inadvertently learned a big secret, which is related to the lives of tens of millions of people in the Central Plains. So it's like coming over and telling Master Cheng Zhuang about this big secret, so that he can pay attention and be careful. ”
Qing Lingzi, the head of the Kongtong faction, took a casual sip of wine and said, "Oh, the big secret? I don't know what it is? Can you tell us about it? Haha~ It's so important to the net worth and lives of tens of millions of people?
Dongfang Yun sighed lightly and said, "There is absolutely no exaggeration. It's that important. It turned out that Fusang had secretly bought a group of spies in the Central Plains a long time ago, and drove these spies to work for themselves.
These spies are all in high positions in the Central Plains martial arts, and once they are launched, they will inevitably lead to heavy losses for the imperial court. At that time, Fusang State can take the opportunity to sweep the Central Plains, wantonly slaughter and plunder, and even invade the original territory. Guys, you say, isn't this news really important?"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd shook each other. The four heads all gasped, and subconsciously blurted out in unison, "Is this true?"
Monk Lihua said in a condensed voice: "It is true, there is no lie. Three days ago, the poor monk and the leader of the Oriental gang passed through a small village by the sea, and happened to encounter the ravages of the Japanese bandits, so they came to help the villagers defend against the Japanese bandits. After a vicious battle, although they failed to wipe out all the pirates, they managed to drive most of them away and capture their leader.
The poor monk interrogated the leader of the widows, and saw that he was sneaky, and his words were not true, as if he was trying to hide something. So he searched him. Unexpectedly, a letter was found. ”
While speaking, Dongfang Yun reached into his arms and took out a small bamboo tube. The ends of the bamboo tube were originally sealed with beeswax and stamped with fire paint. But now, of course, this fire paint seal has long been destroyed.
Dongfang Yun moved his hand and poured out a roll of paper from the bamboo tube. Then open it in front of several heads. Ning said: "This is the letter." Everyone, please take a look. ”
But when several heads opened it, they were dumbfounded. I saw that the top was crooked, but it was something that was combined with some patterns, plus some radicals. At first glance, it seems familiar, but on closer inspection, I don't recognize a word.
Why don't the head of the Qingcheng faction accept it, the first one couldn't bear it, frowned and asked, "What is this?" ”
Monk Lihua was surprised and said, "These are Fusang characters." Speaking of which, Fuso originally had no words. Later, during the Tang Dynasty, they sent Tang envoys to the Central Plains to learn the culture of the Central Plains. After going back, he took the Central Plains script as the basis, and then added or subtracted it to transform it into the Fuso script. There are two types: 'hiragana' and 'katakana'. It's actually quite simple. Why, you can't understand it?"
Why don't you shake your head and say, "I don't understand." We martial artists are all coarse. It is not easy to understand the martial arts secrets handed down by the ancestors of the sect. Who is impatient to learn Fuso's words again? Why, Master Hua, you can understand it?"
The flower monk smiled: "I understand a little, I understand a little." In order to promote the Dharma and purify all sentient beings. Therefore, the monks of Longhua Temple, in addition to the Central Plains script, also have to learn Sanskrit, Tubo, Gaoju Li, Siamese, Champong, Ryukyu and other languages. This Fusang Wen is naturally one of them. ”
When the four heads heard this, they couldn't help but be in awe. said in unison: "The master is really knowledgeable, admire, admire." Qing Lingzi asked again, "Then what is written on this letter?" ”
Monk Lihua picked up the letter and read it in a condensed voice: "Sanada Takibing, the general of the Fusang Country's front route army, the word is the black list pen 'White Mountain Black Dragon', the day before yesterday, our army had already abided by the agreement, cheated a defeat, and gave up the front line of the war.
Your Majesty can continue to act according to the plan and lead the Central Plains army deep into the hinterland of our army. At that time, our army will be in ambush, and it will be easy to achieve a complete victory.
In this way, the merits of the king will be remembered by us. On the day of success, His Majesty can tear the earth and seal the king, and the glory and wealth are unlimited. I wish your majesty a prosperous martial arts, and a hundred bytons.
Another: The righteous characters in the martial arts of the Central Plains seem to have moved. In order to prevent the Central Plains Righteous Path from hindering the king's major affairs, the letter sent the 'Eight Gates Dunjia' mental method. If Your Majesty can successfully cultivate this method, I believe that there will be no opponent in the Central Plains. I wish you all the best for your diligence and work. Sanada Taki. ”
When these words were read, the faces of the four major leaders changed greatly. For a while, they looked at each other, and they couldn't make a sound. After a long time, Bai Yunjian frowned and said, "Master Hua." The letter...... You can't be mistaken, can you?"
Monk Lihua shook his head and said, "Although the poor monk is only a shallow learner. But this letter is plain and easy to understand, and it is not difficult to understand. It's true, that's how it is written. If the leaders don't believe it, then they can go out and catch a few of the widows and order them to read the letter to see how it differs from what the poor monk reads. ”
Shangguan Feipeng nodded and said, "No need." The master was born in Longhua Temple, and his character and knowledge are impeccable. If we don't believe in the masters, then we don't have anyone else to trust. ”
After a pause, Shangguan Feipeng's eyes lit up, and he said with a cruel smile: "What kind of White Mountain Black Dragon is that, it seems that he is the leader of the black list of the spy organization." Hehe, this damned spy dares to collude with the Japanese and betray the Central Plains? Since we are the pillars of the righteous path of the Central Plains martial arts, it is definitely our duty to catch the spies. But...... Who is this man?"
Qing Lingzi shuddered, and exclaimed, "White Mountain Black Dragon...... White Mountain Black Dragon ...... Could it be said that it has something to do with the white mountain and black water? As we all know, the white mountain and black water are the Changbai Mountain and the Heilongjiang River. This mountain and river, but they are all located in Liaodong. It's hard to ......"
Shangguan Feipeng slapped his palm on the table and shouted, "It won't be wrong." This black dragon of Baishan must be the owner of Liaodong Zizai Mountain Villa, Cheng Li! He is the leader of the black list! He is also a spy of the Fusang people! Hmph, just now, he still has a righteous face, and he said it so righteously. It turns out that it's all acting! All of us here have been deceived by him!"
Dongfang Yun, Lihua Monk, Qing Lingzi, Why Don't Collect, and Bai Yunjian and others, all looked at each other for a while, and they didn't know what to say. After a while, Bai Yunjian frowned and said, "But...... It's impossible to think about it, right? Lord Cheng Zhuang is very popular in the imperial court and is a popular person around the emperor. He wants to be prosperous and rich, and he still needs to collude with Fusang people and be a spy?"
Shangguan Feipeng sneered: "What's so incomprehensible about this? Don't forget, Cheng Li is a member of the Demon Sect, and there is a big demon senior brother who is very frightened." The Demon Gate is ambitious and has always tried to overthrow the imperial court and replace it. For this purpose, they can't do anything crazy? Collusion with Fusang, the Central Plains spies, is the true nature of the Demon Gate!"
