Xuanmen opened the world from Pangu and spread to the world. The Yellow Emperor Kongtong asked for the opening of the sect, and Lao Tzu passed on the scriptures and established the Dharma to carry forward. Then Sanmao Zhenjun Maoshan attained Taoism, Zhang Daoling took the tiger to promote the Dharma, Zhongliquan Lu Dongbin cultivated himself and ascended to the immortal, Wang Chongyang and Zhang Ziyang opened the sect in the north and south.
For thousands of years, to the intersection of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, there were hundreds of large and small sects of the Xuanmen of the rivers and lakes. Among them, the four factions in the north and south are the most refined in Xuanmen martial arts, the four factions in the north are Kunlun, Kongtong, Huashan, and Yuanshan, and the four factions in the south are Qingcheng, Wudang, Longhu, and Qiyun, which are called "the eight veins of Xuanmen". People who walk in the rivers and lakes of martial arts, but when they hear the name of "Eight Veins of Xuanmen", they all think that they are masters and are in awe.
Legend has it that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor practiced in Kuntai, Jingshan, became an immortal, and passed down the book of heaven when he ascended to heaven by dragon, called "Taiyi Dengxian Lu". Carry the clear breath of heaven and earth, and ask the way to ascend to immortals. It is divided into seven tricks, combined with the number of the Big Dipper, and is scattered among the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu.
There have been rumors in Xuanmen since ancient times that the seven tips gather together and cultivate according to the law. When you become a great success, you can transcend life and death, shine with the sun and the moon, live with the mountains and rivers, and become immortals.
However, in the past 10,000 years, several of the seven tips have not been known where they are, and no one has heard of them; several of them are the treasures of the great faction of the Xuanmen sect of the rivers and lakes from generation to generation, and the secret is not revealed. Time flies, the rise and fall of the past dynasties, and many people with hearts want to pay attention to heaven and man for a long time and are looking for it. Although he traveled far away from the cape and traveled the world, no one was able to gather the seven tips.
The years passed, the rivers and mountains changed, and in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was divided by the smoke and smoke.
In the winter of the twenty-sixth year of Zheng, Zhu Yuanzhang dispatched troops and sent troops to Bazhou Kefu along the way, and besieged Pingjiang, the capital of Zhang Shicheng, the king of Wu, with heavy troops. For a time, outside the city of Pingjiang, the camp was undulating, and the soldiers were standing in a forest, and there were thousands of hubs. Above and below the city, the sound of milling cannons shouting and killing is incessant day and night.
By the spring of the following year, the two armies were still at loggerheads. However, at this time, the grain and grass in Pingjiang City were about to run out, and the city was already in danger.
In the main hall of King Wu's palace in the city, a man in a dragon robe sat on the dragon chair in the center of the hall, his face gloomy and worried. There were seven or eight generals in armor standing in the hall, all of whom also had a sad look on their faces.
After a long silence, the man on the dragon chair said in a deep voice: "Now the food and grass in the city are running out, and the soldiers are tired. Outside the city, Zhu Yuanzhang's hundreds of thousands of horses besieged the city on all sides and attacked day and night. Now that this is the case, what are the good plans of the generals?"
As soon as the words fell, among the generals under the ranks, a burly man in front of him said hatefully, "My lord, the last general has long said that Lu Zhen's will is not strong, and it is not enough to entrust him with a heavy task. Zhu Xian, Li Fu, Pan Yuanming and others are even more desperate, and the king just doesn't believe it. Now, in the past, the song and night drinking, the treacherous and flattering villain, walked and fell. The family of the last general died in Ganzhou at the hands of the Changyu Spring Thief Army, and when he had no choice but to fake his surrender, he swore that he would not be able to stand with Zhu Yuanzhang, and now he can only fight to the death and die with the city!"
Zhang Shicheng hesitated for a while, suddenly got up, and said slowly: "Xiong Tianrui, you are poor and surrendered to Ganzhou, and you came to take refuge in me Zhang Shicheng for family revenge." The widow has no eloquence and strategy, and he has the wisdom to use people, so that there is today's disaster, I am afraid that I will not be able to avenge the blood and hatred of the tragic death of this relative to Zhu Yuanzhang for you. In the past few days, I have been alone in Pingjiang City, and I have seen the people and soldiers miserable, and I have been thinking for a long time, so I wonder if it is better to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to surrender to myself, so as to avoid the slaughter of the soldiers and civilians in the city when the city is broken!
As soon as the words fell, before Xiong Tianrui could say anything more, he only heard a young general among the generals say aloud: "Absolutely not! The king gallops to the southeast, and the three Wu dominate, what a hero, how can he ask Zhu Yuanzhang's beggar to surrender! Your Majesty must not be anxious, in the past, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was repeatedly in a desperate situation, and finally he was able to dominate the world. What's more, my wife Jiang died in Zhu Yuanzhang's chaotic army a few months ago, and Zitongning would rather die than surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang! Although there are hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers outside the city, and the battalions and ballistae are besieged, we can still protect the king and fight his way out of the siege, in order to make a comeback!"
Zhang Shicheng shook his head and sighed: "Zitong, you have been fighting in the north and south with this king all these years, and you have protected the widow well, and you are a rare loyal and brave man. I just want to defend Gaoyou with a lonely army and break through the army of one million in the past, what kind of momentum it was! Then the tiger was in Sanwu, the land was thousands of miles, and there were hundreds of thousands of armors, but now there is only one lonely city left. Even if you can break out of the encirclement, where can you go?"
This young general was none other than Lu Zitong, the commander of Zhang Shicheng's imperial guards, and now hearing that Zhang Shicheng refused to break through the siege, he said: "King, I heard that the city of Mo Tianyu in Wuxi is still there, and the situation is still improving! The king refuses to break through the siege, and Zitong asks the king for orders! I am willing to risk his life to fight his way out of the encirclement, contact General Mo, and then go to various places to gather scattered subordinates and raise food and grass, so that the officers and men of our three armies will not be trapped in a lonely city!"
After hearing this, Zhang Shicheng turned a trace of joy on his face, and paused: "Zitong is really a warrior! This king will draft an edict, and send another hundred brave warriors to fight with you to fight out of the encirclement." You went out of the city with the edict of this king, raised soldiers, horses, food and grass to help, and the widows in the city looked forward to your return as soon as possible!"
Lu Zitong received the royal edict and stepped out of the palace of King Wu. Thinking about his own going, he is really uncertain about life and death, and he should say goodbye to his senior brother, Liu Chengzong, the eldest brother of righteousness. flew on his horse and went to the area of the Taoist Temple where Liu Chengzong was stationed.
In their early years, Lu Liu and the others studied art under the Lingxu real person in Qiyun Mountain, and they were like brothers. After the death of the Lingxu real immortal, the two worshiped as sworn brothers, and when the anti-Yuan beacon fire was all over the world, they were put into Zhang Shicheng's command together. Therefore, when Lu Zitong was leaving, he first thought of Liu Chengzong.
When he was about to meet the Taoist temple, Lu Zitong saw a team of patrolling sergeants. Then he stepped forward and asked the general at the head: "Where is your commander Liu? ”
The general recognized that Lu Zitong was the commander of the imperial guard army, Liu Chengzong's sworn brother, and hurriedly bowed down and replied: "General, Commander Liu has not been here today, and the last general has led the troops to inspect the defense on his behalf, and he has already sent someone to invite Commander Liu." ”
Lu Zitong couldn't help but doubt in his heart when he heard this, and secretly thought: "My eldest brother is conscientious in his duties on weekdays, so why is it not reasonable to be in the barracks at noon." Over the years, the eldest brother has been secretly complaining about King Wu's partial peace, and now that Zhu Yuanzhang's troops are pressing, isn't it that he has already left the city alone? No, no, my eldest brother and I have been friends of life and death for many years, and the eldest brother attaches the most importance to 'unavoidable difficulties' on weekdays, and now how can he say goodbye without saying goodbye!" After thinking about it for a while, he immediately beat his horse and turned around and went to Liu Chengzong's mansion.
Before arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Lu Zitong saw from a distance that the gate of Liu Chengzong's mansion was closed, and there were no sergeants guarding the door, so he couldn't help but feel strange. So he tied his horse to the side of the road, and did not come forward to knock on the door, but jumped in from the courtyard wall.
Lu Zitong hadn't walked a few steps after entering the wall when he vaguely heard a man's voice coming from the main hall. This voice is nasal, and it is definitely not Yoo Seungzong's usual tone.
Lu Zitong's heart moved: "Who is this person, there must be outsiders in the eldest brother's house." Then he slowed down, hid in front of the window, and lowered his ears to observe the movement in the hall.
I only heard the nasal man in the room say again: "Commander Liu, you don't want your wife's life." If you don't want the life of a child who is less than five years old? Why don't you quickly take out the 'Jade Heng Jue' in the 'Taiyi Dengxian Lu' that Lingxu Lao Er passed down to you! The eldest husband is full of promises, I will protect you and your son's lives. If not, I will slay your son alive before you."
Lu Zitong was taken aback when he heard this, and was about to break in. After thinking about it, he didn't know the situation in the house, and he rushed in for fear that something might happen to his senior brother's life. Immediately use your hand to break the window paper, and for a while, the house is full of virtual and real eyes. When Lu Zitong took a look, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and saw five or six corpses lying in the room. In addition to a few armored soldiers, the senior brother's wife, Zhang, was also among them, and there was a pool of blood on her chest, and she was already killed.
In the middle of the hall, a middle-aged man in a green robe held his brother's beloved son Liu Shaoyang with his left hand, and the long sword in his right hand rested on the neck of his senior brother Liu Chengzong.
Looking at the green-robed man's face again, it turned out to be Gu Yi, a general in the army. Lu Zitong secretly said in his heart: "This Gu Yi has a lot of friendship with the eldest brother on weekdays, and I don't want to suddenly start a trouble today, for this 'Yuheng Jue', I want to harm the life of the eldest brother's family!"
Liu Chengzong sat down on the ground, and said coldly after listening: "When the family master immortal died, he once instructed me that this jade balance recipe of Taiyi Dengxian Lu is the treasure of my Qiyun lineage. It needs to be taught by masters and apprentices from generation to generation, and must not fall into the hands of bad people. Now you kill my wife and threaten my son, and give it to you. I, Liu Chengzong, have insulted my master's life, and I have no face to see my master under Jiuquan!"
Gu Yi laughed and sneered: "You are willing to hand over things now, hehe, why should you be stubborn and give your wife's life in vain!"
Liu Chengzong gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "This Taiyi Dengxian is originally an ethereal word, the rumors are divided into seven tips, and only when the seven articles are collected can they be cultivated according to law, and one less trick is useless." The location of the three tricks of "Tianshu", "Tianxuan" and "Tianji" has been unknown to the rivers and lakes for many years, and Liu doesn't know what the use of this 'Jade Heng Recipe' is even if Your Excellency takes it from me!"
Gu Yi smiled when he heard this: "Xuanmen has been said since ancient times: 'Seven tips gather together, travel around the eight poles. Immortal feathering, Taiyi ascends to immortal. 'Don't you know how I can find the rest of the tricks, so I don't have to worry about Commander Liu. Since you are willing to cooperate, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you, I am a dead soldier in the Dayuan Cowardly Xue Army, named Agoura. Do you know how Jiang Ziyan, the leader of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance, died? On that day, I found out that Jiang Ziyan intended to unite with the Jiangnan Martial Arts to oppose the Yuan, and the 'Heavenly Power Formula' passed down from generation to generation by the head of the Dragon and Tiger Sect was in Jiang Ziyan's hands. I and more than 30 masters in the Cowardly Xue Army went to Wuyi Mountain, where Jiang Ziyan was at that time, to kill him in the starry night, and now the Heavenly Power Secret in his hands has already fallen into my hands!"
Liu Chengzong sneered: "Jiang Daxia took over the Dragon and Tiger Sect at a young age, and practiced the Xuanmen Dragon and Tiger stunt, and almost no one in the martial arts can beat it. People say that 'walking like a ghost, sealing the river with a sword', and more than 40 masters won the championship in a row at the Hengshan Conference, how good is his skill! I see that Your Excellency's methods are so despicable and vicious, although there are many people that day, I am afraid that he still plotted to harm others!"
Agoura was noncommittal when he heard this, and said sharply: "The two of us don't talk much, where is the Yuheng Chapter? If you say it, I will spare you and your son! If you don't say it, I will cut off your son's flesh in front of you one by one!"
Liu Chengzong's face turned miserable when he heard this, and he sighed, "Okay, that jade heng recipe is under the blue bricks in the northwest corner of this house, you go and get it!"
Agoura listened, his left rib was still holding Liu Shaoyang, and he walked to the northwest corner to open the green brick, and sure enough, he saw a wooden box, and when he opened it, it was Yu Hengjue. Lu Zitong, who was outside the house, saw it clearly, and wanted to enter the house to make a move, but he was worried that he would hurt Liu Shaoyang's life, so he had to give up.
Agula took the Yuheng chapter, suddenly turned around and said with a cold face: "Commander Liu, I have told the truth now, back then, I and more than 30 masters of the Cowardly Xue Army first bought off the cooks in Jiang Ziyan's mansion, and now they have 'five steps' in the food in his mansion, and then raided Jiang Ziyan's mansion. Jiang Ziyan's family and disciples didn't want to eat that day's food, but he ate less and was not deeply poisoned. The cowardly Xue army, even more than 30 masters including me, fought around him for a while, but they were not his opponents, and in the end, I was the only one left. In a hurry, I grabbed his knotted wife, and forced him to hand over the secret of heavenly power as I did today. ”
Liu Chengzong said indifferently: "If you don't say the rest of the matter, I know, in the end, you got the Heavenly Power Secret, but in order to get rid of the troubles, you still killed Jiang Ziyan and killed Jiang Daxia's family!"
Agoura was also quite surprised to hear him so calmly, and asked, "So, do you know that your family will not escape death?"
Liu Chengzong had no fear on his face, and sneered: "Where can a despicable villain like you talk about faith! If you kill my wife, I already have the intention of death. It's just that I can't bear Yang'er to be slashed alive in front of me, so I gave you the Yuheng Formula!"
After hearing this, Agoura slowly walked in front of Liu Chengzong, and said with a gloomy face: "That's fine, the matter has come to this, and I, Agoura, will also let you die clearly! Three years ago, Zhang Shicheng betrayed his promise and established himself as king. I joined this army because I was ordered by the emperor to kill Zhang Shicheng and disintegrate the anti-Yuan forces in Jiangnan. It's just that Zhang Shicheng has been heavily guarded in the past three years, and I am not his cronies, so I have never seized the opportunity. ”
Saying this, Agoura's face had already turned into a cruel smile: "Now that Zhang Shicheng is about to be overturned, it is useless to kill him." I've been thinking about it for the past few days, why don't you kill Zhu Yuanzhang! You know so many secrets about me, so I have no choice but to borrow your head to make a meeting gift under Zhu Yuanzhang's account! I see that you are also a man, so this will give you a good time!"
When Lu Zitong, who was outside the house, heard Agoura say how to kill Jiang Ziyan's family, he knew that Liu Chengzong's father and son were not in danger. Now seeing that Agulatu is poor, he can't care much anymore, so he immediately pushed through the window bar with one palm and flew in.
At the same time, Liu Chengzong in the house suddenly flew up, and a gust of wind rose sharply, and he slapped a palm on Agoura's chest!
After a few rabbit ups and downs, Agoura didn't expect that at a critical juncture, someone else came to the house, and he couldn't help but feel a mess in his heart. Unexpectedly, Liu Chengzong was hit by the "five-step ** down", and while he was paralyzed, he was able to get up and make a move. For a while, the defense was insufficient, and the wind swept in the palm of his chest, and a palm has been patted solid!
It turned out that after Liu Chengzong was poisoned, he was talking to Agula and procrastinating, and on the other hand, he secretly used the Xuanmen mental method to suppress the toxicity. It's just that the "five-step ** pour" medicine is too ruthless, and I don't check it for a while, and the poisoning is quite deep, no matter how you use it, you can't compete with it.
At that moment, he gathered his life's strength, and when Agoura thought he was successful, he suddenly made a move, intending to kill Agoura in one fell swoop, but he was poisoned, and tried his best to save only one out of ten. Rao is like this, and he still beats Agoura's blood surges.
This Agoura is also quite good, when he heard the sound of Lu Zitong breaking the window, the long sword in his right hand stabbed at Liu Chengzong, not only did not stop, but added a force, wanting to kill Liu Chengzong with a sword, and then turn around to deal with the person who entered the house.
Under Liu Chengzong's hard palm, although the long sword in his hand was stagnant, it still penetrated Liu Chengzong's chest.
But it was so blocked, Lu Zitong had already grabbed Agoura's side in a few arrow steps, and the long sword in his right hand swung sharply, and he had cut off Agoura's left arm in an instant, and he copied Liu Shaoyang in his arms with his left hand. Agoura's left arm was in severe pain, but he was not in danger, and his right hand took advantage of the situation to make up for Liu Chengzong's sword, and withdrew from the place.
Lu Zitong put Liu Shaoyang on the ground, and shouted angrily at Agoura: "You Yuanmeng traitor, you have done a lot of evil, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape justice today!"
Agoura broke his left arm in unbearable pain, and his right hand slammed several acupuncture points on his shoulder, which was able to stop the bleeding. Knowing the urgency of the moment, he had to quickly find a hidden place to recuperate from his injuries, so he waved his sleeve robe at the moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Commander Lu, you are not talented, so you will come to teach the master of Yuxu Zhenren!"
After saying that, the long sword in his hand swept the wind and went straight forward, wanting to force Lu Zitong to snatch out of the house. Lu Zitong saw that Agoura's sword was powerful, and it seemed to be the martial arts of the Helan faction outside the Saiwai, so he didn't dare to underestimate it, and his sword moves continued to block the way.
For a while, a cold light flashed in the hall, and there were stacks of sword shadows and blue light. Although Agoura was seriously injured and attacked with all his might, he still couldn't get out of half a step after more than a dozen moves. For a while, the door was wide open.
Seeing that the time had come, Lu Zitong turned from defense to offense, and the long sword in his hand reversed and stabbed Agoura in the lower abdomen. Agoura was fighting at this time, his consciousness was blurred in pain, and he was almost crazy, where could he dodge? He was stabbed through by a sword and died on the spot!
Lu Zitong turned out to be Agoura, and before he could return the sword into the sheath, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Chengzong, who fell to the ground. I saw that Liu Chengzong's eyes were closed and his breath was weak. There were two wounds on his chest, and the blood was gushing like a spring, and he couldn't see that he was alive. Busy with Liu Chengzong's kidney Yu, the two acupoints of Xin Yu entered a few true qi, Liu Chengzong's eyes opened slightly after half a sound, and he woke up slowly. Lu Zitong saw such a situation and knew that Liu Chengzong's life was in an instant, and he couldn't help but cry like rain for a while.
Liu Chengzong's face was pale, and he smiled reluctantly: "What are you crying about, this evil thief died on the spot, Yu Hengjue did not fall into the hands of the gangsters, and your senior brother and I also have the face to see the master under Jiuquan." The secret books of my Qiyun lineage left by the master, complicated and mysterious, I hid them in the wall next to the bed in the bedroom...... Now my life is on the horizon, and I am just worried about my son. Yang'er was just sealed by that Agoura, and his life should be fine. Just hope for ...... I only hope that my junior brother will ...... on my behalf He was raised as an adult, and your brother and sister-in-law are under Jiuquan...... No regrets......"
Speaking of the back, he was intermittent, just looking at Lu Zitong, he was speechless.
Lu Zitong burst into tears when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "Senior brother, don't worry, from now on, I will treat Yang'er like my own child." In the midst of the chaos of the army, no matter what, we must protect Yang'er thoroughly! King Wu ordered me to lead someone to break through and recruit the old department, and I will take him with me and rush out together, and never let Yang'er die in this city!"
Liu Shaoyang's imprisonment was lifted, and he woke up in a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw his father Liu Chengzong sitting on the ground, his chest full of blood. Although Liu Shaoyang was young and didn't understand it very well, he also grew up in the military and knew that his father must have been seriously injured at this time.
pounced at the moment, tears flowed down his face instantly, a pair of small hands shook Liu Chengzong's shoulder blades, and shouted again and again: "Dad, what's wrong with you, Dad?"
Liu Chengzong was already unconscious at this moment, and when he saw that Liu Shaoyang had woken up, his heart suddenly calmed, his face was flushed with a sense of peace, and he tried his best to open his mouth and said, "Yang'er...... You have to listen...... Listening to Uncle Lu's words...... "After saying that, he was already out of strength, looked at Liu Shaoyang and Lu Zitong who were teary-eyed, and then looked at the corpse of his wife Zhang, his eyes closed slowly, and his head drooped.
At this time, the cold air outside the house was overwhelming, the north wind swept the ground, and a gust of cold wind whistled and slapped on the window edge, startling a few Chuwu in front of the hall, screaming fiercely, and flapping their wings and flying south.
