There are many old and ancient buildings in the old town of Licheng, and the Heming Tower is one of them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info According to Ye Xuhui's introduction, this building is nine floors high, and the old Licheng people often said in the past that if you want to go to Chongxiao Jiu, you should first climb the Heming Tower. It's about the building's glorious history. Today's Heming Tower is one of the public industries under the Fujian and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce.

Gu Tianyou refused Ye Xuhui's request to accompany him, and came to the Heming Tower single-handedly, looking up at this all-wooden nine-story building that is said to be a miracle in the history of architecture. It is indeed hard to believe that such a high-rise building with a pure wooden structure can stand for more than 100 years. There is folklore, this building is a master of wood art who is proficient in the secret art of Luban Gate in the previous dynasty Tongzhi years designed and built. All of them are made of gloomy wood comparable to gold and iron, and the structure is exquisite, containing the truth of heaven.

There are nine floors in the building, but not everyone can go up to the ninth floor to eat. There are strict regulations on the hospitality specifications of the whole restaurant. The people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the wood is divided into pear rosewood, and each layer entertains the characters at a certain level and makes a detailed division. Ye Shaogang arranged this Hongmen banquet in the Nine Heavens of Heming Tower, which is the highest reception standard.

Gu Tianyou first contacted Wang Zhichang of the Xuanmen Northern Sect before coming, and did his homework before coming over.

Fifty-five years ago, a vigorous movement broke out, and the entire Xuanmen Gate was almost destroyed. It was during that most difficult period that the people of the Northern Sect transferred many of the Xuanmen classics collected in the portal to the Southern Sect Mountain Gate, which was relatively unknown and had hardly been impacted. Ten years later, the catastrophe ended, and the people of the Northern Sect wanted to take back the scriptures but were rejected by the Southern Sect.

At that time, the suzerain of the Southern Sect was a Taoist leader of the Xuanzi generation, and it was not impossible to propose to return the book, but it was necessary to agree to the unity of the north and the south first. As for the selection of the sect master after the unity, it is based on the cultivation of magic techniques. As a result, because the teachers of the Xuanzi generation of the Northern Sect had all died in that catastrophe, they knew that no one could compare to the Taoist leader of the Southern Sect. This matter was temporarily stopped, but the two sects of the north and south formed a new beam, and there was a meeting every ten years, which was called the exchange of magic methods, in fact, it was a contest of life and death, and after forty years, the two sides had killed and injured each other, and this feud became deeper and deeper.

Wang Zhichang said that the classics of the master must be recovered no matter what, and these people in the Southern Sect have always been worried about the unity of the north and the south to get the orthodoxy of the Xuanmen, and the two sides set up a bureau accordingly, as long as there are masters in the Northern Sect who can defeat the masters of the same generation in the Southern Sect, they will return all the classics to the Northern Sect. And if there are masters in the Southern Sect who can defeat the masters of the Northern Sect, then the North and the South will be united, and the Northern Sect will give up orthodoxy.

Over the years, there have been tragic injuries on both sides, but they have not been able to distinguish between winners and losers.

I remember that Li Yangming once said that this river and lake is very big, and with his talent in Longge, the realm of both martial arts and martial arts, he only dares to claim to be the fifth in the world. As you can imagine, at that time he knew that there were at least four people who were better than him. But Gu Tianyou has been walking the world for so long, and he has only seen a Ming King who is really stronger than Li Yangming that day, Hu Rumeng and Wang Xian are at most at the same level as him, and I am afraid that they will be inferior to him in terms of talent foundation.

There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are heavens outside the sky.

Wang Zhichang reminded that the feud between the two sects of the north and south of the Xuanmen is extremely deep, and once there is an intersection between them, do not expect the other party to show mercy. A slap in the face like you will definitely arouse the hatred of the other party. The master of the Xuanzi generation back then should still be in the world, just pursuing the way of heaven and not being born for a long time. He also said that this old-timer and the Zen predecessor of the Invisible Religion Office, Master Yuankong, are both levels of enlightenment, and they should not come out according to common sense. But Mr. Gu is a very human being, and there is no one in the Nanzong Zhizi generation, maybe this predecessor of the Xuanzi generation will go out of the mountain again for you. So, you have to be careful.

Gu Tianyou asked him if he could refuse. Wang Zhichang said that if he refused, it would be equivalent to Beizong losing for a while. He prayed very earnestly that Mr. Gu's Taoist cultivation was enough to suppress the Southern Sect to all the generations, from the 80s to the present, the Northern Sect has never had such a close chance to win, and the fifth magic exchange conference will be held within the year, if Mr. can represent the Northern Sect to defeat the Southern Sect's spirit, we will have a great chance of ending this contest this year.

The Fujian and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce has the support of the Xuanmen Southern Sect behind it, and the matter seems to be becoming more complicated. Wang Xian encroached on the territory of Yinshan Wolf City in the northwest, and at the same time, he was also retaliated by the other party's crazy counterattack, according to Sun Jingfei, the situation was more anxious. Long Xinghui seemed to have made a lot of determination in the northwest, once they swallowed the Yinshan Wolf City, they would complete a qualitative improvement in an instant. With the foundation of the Longxing Society, it is entirely possible to do this.

Gu Tianyou felt that if he couldn't gain anything from the trip to the southeast, he was afraid that he would be left behind by Mr. Wang. If you can take advantage of the contradiction between the two sects of Xuanmen and pull the Northern Sect into your own camp for your own use, it will obviously have a positive significance for the head-on confrontation with the Longxing Society in the future. It's a beautiful thing to think about, but it's extremely difficult to do.

Walking into the Heming Tower, walking up the spiraling stairs, pondering as he walked, Ye Shaogang also entered the Xuanmen Southern Sect, and he was also a figure in the Zhizi generation. This Ye family boss's Taoist cultivation is slightly inferior to himself, but the realm of national arts is not below him, but he has no internal injuries on his body and is in his heyday. And he is weak and can hardly use real kung fu, one Ye Shaogang is enough for a headache, plus other masters of the Southern Sect, it is not easy to suppress it!

North America, two years ago. Yellowstone National Park, with majestic mountains and magnificent jungles.

A group of seven people struggled forward against the strong wind. A man suddenly appeared on the horizon as far as the eye could see. Sitting cross-legged, there was a big wooden fish in front of him, holding a giant mallet and knocking down the first time, and with a bang, it shook for hundreds of miles. When he got closer, he was a monk in a homespun cloth monk's robe, looking like a monk in his forties. The nose is straight and the mouth is square, the eyes are clear, only a pair of eyebrows are very distinctive, the color is like snow, and the two temples are obliquely inserted, like a double knife.

I don't know what metal the wooden fish is made of, the shape is similar to a round table with a diameter of more than one meter, the giant mallet is obviously made of solid metal, the thickness of a goose egg, and the weight is at least 100 catties. The monk holds the dervish in one hand and the mallet in the other, knocking continuously, the sound is like thunder, and the smell is thrilling.

There were seven young men and women in black canvas training uniforms, and the first one who walked in the front was Gu Tianyou, a handsome and feminine young man. There were six companions, including Huang Yong, Luo Yi, a pair of sisters, Robert Jr. and CIA senior agent Perlan.

The sound of the wooden fish percussion shook people's hearts, like a war drum, the more it struck, the more urgent it became, and each stroke had a thrilling power. The first to be unable to bear it was Peilan, followed by the little radish head, and both of them fell to the ground. Luo Yi frowned, took out a pair of earphones from his pocket and stuffed them into his ears. Both pairs couldn't help but cover their ears.

The monk is extraordinary, and there will be something to do here, Gu Tianyou knows that he can't avoid it, so he will go forward. The monk put down the giant mallet, looked up at Gu Tianyou slightly, and said, "May I ask if the donor is the city lord of Tianyou?" Gu Tianyou nodded yes. The monk said: "The old monk Hongyou, entrusted by someone to intercept the donor here, the future is dangerous, there are masters who have arranged a killing array here, and there are also discordant people in the donor's line who are plotting treacherously, if you continue to insist on going your own way, I am afraid that there will be a worry about your life." ”

Gu Tianyou is no stranger to this name, it turned out that Sun Jingfei's master had arrived, and he meant to remind himself that there was a dangerous ambush ahead, and that his group was mixed with sand. I secretly thought in my heart: He has a reason to persuade me to turn back, and why don't I have a reason to continue the journey? Xu Xiaofeng fell into Li Tianyi's hands, and Di Haoran's entire team was trapped in the mysterious location of coordinates in the depths of Yellowstone Park.

Li Tianyi is ambitious, and he is definitely a ruthless devil. Even characters like Edwards have been transformed into members of the Divine Legion by him, and those genius children of the Eight Great Protoss have been brought into the secret base of Yellowstone Park by him, if they can't be stopped in time, in a few months, hundreds of monsters of the same level as Protoss One will be born, and at that time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Once these children of the Eight Great Protoss are successfully cultivated, any one of them has the ability of Protoss No. 1, just imagine, hundreds of children who seem innocent are actually killing machines with great ability, only know how to obey orders, and kill people without blinking. If it is used to assassinate dignitaries of various countries, it will inevitably bring monstrous disasters to the planet. Li Tianyi's ambition is enough to fit the whole of North America. If it is not stopped in time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Gu Tianyou said in a deep voice: "Relatives and friends are trapped, the devil is destroyed, where righteousness is, where love is, something must be done!"

Master Hongyou's eyes flashed, and he asked, "With your first attainment of the realm of national arts, who can you stop? Isn't it better to live well than to die in vain?"

Gu Tianyou's expression was resolute: "Heaven is ruthless and righteous, I have suffered sins in this life, I have enjoyed blessings, and there is no less sin, if I judge according to the Buddhist theory of cause and effect, it is not enough for me to atone for my sins through the eighteen layers of hell, and the hundreds of unjust souls in San Francisco's Chinatown died because of my thoughts, although I have done all the bad things, but I have never left my brother!"

Master Hong You clasped his palms together, said to Amitabha, and said, "The Chinatown incident was ordered by the top level of the North American government to be shot, why should the donor blame himself for it? ”

Gu Tianyou said: "If it weren't for my insistence, Xiao Longge would not have chosen to cooperate with Li Tianyi and spread the corpse poison there, if the North American government was not worried about the spread of the corpse poison, it would not have made the decision to lock down the area and slaughter all the people who might be infected, in the final analysis, it was because I forced him into a corner." ”

Master Hongyou sighed and said: "Senior Brother Xiao has gone mad, and he can't complain about the donor, because he insists on going against the destiny of heaven, and uses evil magic to seduce the soul in an attempt to rebuild with the trick, does the donor want him to destroy you?" and said: "Under the circumstances at that time, no one expected that he would take the initiative to find you to join forces to deal with Li Tianyi, and also helped you improve your soul cultivation and enhance your physical endowment many times, but the ultimate goal is to destroy your will and rob you of your soul talent and this body body. ”

He paused slightly when he said this, his face showed sadness, and then he continued: "Although Senior Brother Xiao is ambitious, he is a person with great determination, if he hadn't been bewitched by Zuo Juetian's remnant soul and broken Dao heart, he wouldn't have been like this. ”

Gu Tianyou said: "Who would have thought that Zuo Juetian stole the Xuanmen's one qi and three clear techniques, and the remnant soul turned into a triple personality and divided into three, Lin Hongjin's dual personality is just one of them, Xiao Longge's body is integrated into the one that seems to be the weakest, but it has been imperceptibly affecting his heart, after years and months, he finally became a demon that Xiao Longge could not extinguish, Xiao Longge originally wanted to use his remnant soul to improve himself, but he was gradually controlled, and a generation of Zen masters fell to the point where it is today, it is really a pity." ”

Master Hongyou shook his head and said: "There is no phase in the nature of things, and there is a demon in appearance, everything is his own fault, and the secular saying is that flies do not bite seamless eggs, and he can't complain about others." He also said: "The donor has the ambition of the heart, more helpful feelings, and the courage to kill for righteousness, how can such a character old monk not save him, and he learned that someone set up an ambush on the way forward, and he was worried that you were still kept in the dark, so he came to report the news." ”

Gu Tianyou joined his hands and thanked him, and said: "The master is painstaking, he came from thousands of miles to report the news, there is a way that the sea of bitterness is boundless, and the shore is back, it is said that I should listen to you, but it doesn't work, the reason I have already explained to you clearly, this trip is the sword mountain and the sea of fire waiting in front of me, and it is impossible for me to turn back." ”

There is no need for a hammer to sound the drum, Gu Tianyou's attitude is resolute and unshakable, Master Hongyou no longer persuades, he picked up the big wooden fish and the giant mallet behind his back, and said: "The donor sacrifices his life to live recklessly, he has such an awareness at a young age, and his good life is admirable, since this is the case, then it can be regarded as an old monk." ”

A month later, on a sunny afternoon, Gu Tianyou woke up in his ward at Connecticut State Hospital, with injuries all over his body.

There is a great terror between life and death, and there is also a great temptation between life and death.

It was a long and dark time, but as Master Hongyou said, the path of seeking the Tao must have the heart of martyrdom, and without this determination, it is impossible to reach the transcendent realm of holiness. It was also after that incident that all of Gu Tianyou's Three Soul Dao Phases had reached at least the Great Perfection realm. Huang Yong also realized the divine way of the heart during those painful days. He also passed on this unique mental method to Gu Tianyou. Luo Yi also began to study mecha during that time, and finally became the king of a generation of mecha.

Gu Tianyou retracted the thoughts that had sunk into his memory, and the stairs under his feet had come to an end.

Ascending the Nine Heavens, I saw the Nine Heavens, and the four Nine Great Masters of the Xuanmen Southern Sect were waiting here.

Ye Shaogang stood at the top of the stairs, and after greeting each other, he led the way to an antique private room in front of the door, an elderly Taoist with white beard, white hair and white robe was welcoming him at the door, and said when he met: "Nanzong Wei Longting, with sincerity, to the void, to the three junior disciples here to wait for the Northern Sect Long, where the rudeness is, it is still strange." ”

Gu Tianyou returned the favor with a courtesy and entered the private room with the two.

On the pineapple table, the two Taoist priests sat still, and one of them saw Gu Tianyou enter the door, his eyes flashed, and he asked on the spot: "Senior Brother Long, there is no other way in the world, how can the saint explain if he is not double-minded?"
