Tang Hai glanced at Hua Yu, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, Lord Cao's proposal is very good, if Tang Hai loses, he is willing to go to Xiongshan to be Mr. Hua's servant." Tang Hai was talking in his mouth, but he was secretly thinking in his heart, this familiar Hua Yu turned out to be not a public person, but lived in seclusion in Huguangchen Prefecture, thousands of miles away, how did he come here? After I tested him, he approached and bowed: "Mr. is elegant, if Tang Hai is defeated, it is also a blessing to be able to accompany Mr. in Xiongshan." But...... Although Tang Hai is unheard, the world's famous mountains all know, but I don't know what kind of mountain this majestic mountain is, which can attract the phoenix to perch on the branches, and the dragon is reluctant to fly back to the pond, so there must be something extraordinary! ”

That Hua Yu also knew Tang Hai, but he didn't want to talk to him, so he kept smiling slightly, silently making notes and not speaking, and now Tang Hai asked closely, so he had to put down his pen and get up to return the salute, and said eloquently: "The male mountain, who is on the top of a thousand mountains, is indeed the first day of Chenyang." Poetry clouds: Thousands of mountains are lined with Jinping, and the lonely peak enters the Han sky. The floating clouds and mountains are rao, and the scene is amazing. Alas! It's a pity that the special infinite hidden forest has not been recited for thousands of years. Hua Yu is not talented, I don't know how many merits he made in his previous life, in exchange for the blessing of embracing the beautiful scenery in this life, fortunately! ”

Everyone admired the beautiful scenery of Xiongshan one by one, Tang Hai heard Hua Yu's voice, and felt quite familiar, and suddenly remembered that this person was a strange person who met in the forest on the Nansha River in Hanzhong a year ago. It's just that it was late that night, although there was moonlight, after all, it was dim, and I didn't see the face clearly, so I didn't recognize it just now, but now I listened to the voice, and then carefully identified the appearance, and it was a horse smile.

Strange, why did Ma Xiao change his name to Hua Yu today? It is rumored that this person is uncertain, nameless and surnameless, and when walking through the mountains and forests, if you ask him his name, he may call himself Gao Feng. When walking on the riverside, if you ask again, he will be renamed Jiang Hu again. If he is in the midst of flowers, and someone asks again, he may call himself a flower musician. When he woke up in the morning, he was physically and mentally comfortable, and perhaps his surname was Shu Chang again. In short, this "natural person" has no whereabouts, no name, and no one can find him. When he laughed at Emperor Guangzong, he laughed on horseback because he was on horseback, and when people asked him his name, he casually said that it was "horse laughter". Since then, the government has been hunted down under this name, and people in the rivers and lakes who are unknown have also mistakenly thought that his surname is Ma Mingxiao.

"Natural person" often takes the name of the random environment, the day before yesterday I wanted to point Cao Yin, so I casually reported my name as "Hua Yu", which means "turning foolishness", Cao Yin is not clear, thinking that this person's surname is Hua Mingyu.

Tang Hai secretly thought: Since he didn't reveal the truth in front of everyone, I also pretended to be confused, just forgot his name, but said with a smile: "It turned out to be an old man who met at night on the bank of the Nansha River, Mr. Hua Yu has been doing well recently!" ”

Seeing that Tang Hai recognized himself, the natural person secretly complained in his heart, fortunately Tang Hai did not call his real name, perhaps, he deliberately did not expose me, or perhaps, he really forgot my name, the natural person secretly rejoiced, and replied with a smile: "Hua Yu is still good." ”

Duan Qi, Shan Yong and others were all wondering, how did they know that Ye Yang's mouth was unobstructed, and he jumped up and laughed at the wolf bully: "Ha, it turns out that the eldest brother is a fool, he said that he met the mysterious Ma Xiao on the rivers and lakes that night, it turned out to be this Hua Yu." ”

Tang Hai couldn't stop Ye Yang's mouth, so he had to be secretly anxious, and the natural person was embarrassed for a while, so he could only raise his head and laugh.

Cao Yin was shocked, could it be that "Hua Yu" is Ma Xiao who saved his mother in Dabie Mountain? No wonder he knew that his mother was seventy-six years old this year. Cao Yin stared at the "Hua Yu" beside him, and saw that he did not deny Ye Yang's words, so he hurriedly knelt down and said: "It turns out that Mr. is the benefactor who saves his mother, please accept Cao Yin's worship." ”

The brothers of the Jing family were shocked, and Jing Kui said: "Teacher, he was the one who saved the grandmother in Dabie Mountain, took care of the grandmother for two months, and gave the grandmother fifty taels of silver?" ”

Cao Yin said: "Exactly. ”

The "natural person" hurriedly helped Cao Yin up and said: "Lord Cao can't do this big gift, the rescue hall was a gesture back then, why worry about it!" ”

Cao Yin got up and said: "I've been slacking off Mr. these days, I'm ashamed, why didn't Mr. say it earlier, so that Cao Yin could teach Mr. to repay his great kindness." ”

The "natural person" smiled: "It's a trivial matter, Master Cao must not be worried." ”

After everyone listened, Fang Qing knew the reason for the matter, and Fang Qing gave a thumbs up and said: "The benevolent love people!" Luo Kong's head said: "No generosity, no return, true Bodhisattva!" Wang Shanyi nodded and said, "What a good person, it is difficult for many cultivators in the world to do this section!" Xiaolong, Duan Qi, Ala Tai, Liu Jia and others also nodded in appreciation.

Everyone was praising Ma Xiao, Cao Yin's face turned blue slowly, and his expression gradually became solemn, and Jing Kuiwei asked, "Teacher, what's wrong?" Cao Yin was in a heavy mood, and bowed again: "Mr. is very kind, Cao Yin will never forget for life, but Cao Yin does not dare to forget justice because of personal kindness, and abolish the royal law because of family affection. ”

Everyone was shocked, they all heard that Cao Yin took the law as his life and enforced the law like a mountain, but they never thought that he would even arrest the benefactor who saved his mother!

Cao Yin glanced at Jing Kui, Jing Kui understood, pulled Jing Ying to the outside of the Sage Hall and said, "Second brother, you quickly go down the mountain, go to the city to find Master Li Xin of Zhizhou, and ask him to send seven or eight fast hands to arrest Ma Xiao." ”

Jing Ying said: "Okay, I thought just now that the teacher would die because of his private life, but I was afraid that he would be soft-hearted and abolish the laws of the country for a while. ”

Jing Kui said: "How is it possible, the teacher takes the law as his life, not a favoritism!" ”

Jing Ying said happily: "I'll go now." With that, he turned around and hurried down the mountain.

"Natural person" laughed and said: "If the adult wants to arrest me, I have nothing to say, but ask for one, remember to go to Xiongshan to take care of my beautiful family business after the defeat of the adult, Xiongshan is a pearl given by God to the common people, you must not live up to the good will of God!" The natural man laughed for a while, then turned his head to Tang Hai and said, "And you!" ”

Cao Yin said: "Sir, rest assured, Cao Yin is not a person without faith. Tang Hai also said: "If Tang Hai is defeated, he will be set on Xiongshan." ”

Ye Yang shouted: "Cao Yin, do you really want to arrest him?" Si Ren said: "Why are you so ruthless and unjust, people save your mother, but you want to arrest others?" Wang Yu shouted: "Even the benefactor has to be arrested, what are you trying to do?" Everyone gossiped and blamed Cao Yin.

Luo Kong persuaded: "Lord Cao's law enforcement is admirable, but although Ma Xiao is a wanted criminal in the imperial court, he is your benefactor!" ”

Cao Yin said: "What everyone accuses is that I don't want to be a ruthless and unrighteous person, but in Cao Yin's heart, only the law is the most noble, and the king is the most respectful." ”

Fang Qing stopped the six ghosts and said: "If you want to talk about loyalty and patriotism, Lord Cao is really a model, although Fang Qing is known as Dong Confucian, he is less than one in ten thousand compared to the adult. ”

Wang Shan also calmed down the nine evils, and sighed: "Lord Cao is dedicated to the law, and this time he will enter Beijing to practice the law, but it is just a bitter Mr. Ma Xiao." ”

The "natural person" still laughed: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Ye Yang saw that he looked at ease, and asked strangely: "Hey, Ma Xiao, are you not afraid of death?" ”

"If you want to save me, how can I die?"

"I save you? You and I have no relatives and no cause, what can I do to save you? ”

"Hey, you are so unreasonable, you betrayed me, if you don't save me, who will save me?"

Ye Yang was surprised: "Why do you blame me?" ”

"Why don't you blame you, I'm a good Hua Yu, your eldest brother didn't say anything, but you exposed it, and now Lord Cao wants to arrest me for correcting the Fa, I don't blame you for blaming anyone? If you don't save me, I won't let you go if I am a ghost," the "natural person" teased Ye Yang with a smile on his face, and it seemed that he was not the one who was about to be imprisoned.

Tang Hai stopped Ye Yang, who was still about to argue, and arched his hand towards the "natural person" and said: "I'm sorry, it's all my brother's fault for harming Mr. without a case, it's just that the law of the country is greater than the sky, even if my brothers want to save you, how can they be powerless!" ”

The "natural person" smiled and said: "It's good that you are the number one thief in the world, and you are also cheating, and you are to blame for my death today." ”

"Bang!" The door was kicked open, and a large group of sergeants swarmed in, and a big man with a meaty face slammed in.

Jing Ying separated the sergeants and ran to Cao Yin and said, "General Hong brought three hundred ironclad troops to surround the Sage Hall. ”

Cao Yinwei asked the big man: "General Hong, Ma Xiao has no power to restrain the chicken, three or five can catch quickly, why do you bring so many sergeants to besiege us and others?" ”

The general headed by him was Jingmen Qianzong, surnamed Hong Mingfan, and when he saw Cao Yin, he hurriedly pulled Cao Yin out of the door, and walked twenty or thirty steps away before whispering: "Lord Li heard that Ma Xiao, a wanted criminal wanted by the imperial court, summoned the three demons, six ghosts, and nine evils of the rivers and lakes to gather here, and specially ordered the officials to take down these nineteen people together. ”

Cao Yin said angrily: "Nonsense, this official invited the Eastern Confucian Fang Qing, the Southern Buddha Luokong, the Western Dao Wang Shan and the disciples of the three masters, Xiangshan Douzhi, to talk about the scriptures and the Tao, what is an illegal gathering?" Although these three demons, six demons and nine evils have done a lot of illegal deeds in the past, but now that they have been corrected and protected by the gold medal of crime, how can we arrest them? ”

Hong Fan sneered: "Since you are talking about the scriptures and the Tao, why do you talk about the dynasty in vain, slander the Son of Heaven, and want to do a great rebellion?" ”

Cao Yin was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Hong Fan sneered: "If you don't know, unless you don't do it." Lord Cao, you are the person appointed by the Son of Heaven to go to Beijing for reuse, how can you be so confused, and gather privately with these rebellious people to discuss the dynasty in Xiangshan, isn't it self-destruction of the future? ”

Cao Yin said with a smile: "The general misunderstood, Cao Yin and a few outsiders argued, they spoke excessively, but there was no disobedience, why should the adults mobilize the people?" ”

Hong Fan said: "In this case, please go down the mountain and go back to the city, if you can get a military order in front of Lord Li, this general will naturally only catch Ma Xiao and return to the city alone, otherwise, this general will have to act as ordered." ”

Cao Yin said slightly angrily: "The crime card in Fang Qing, Luo Kong, and Wang Shan's hands was given by the emperor, although Tang Hai and the others have serious crimes, they are protected by the crime card, you dare!" ”

Hong Fan Zhengse said: "I also know that this sin card was given by Emperor Guangzong, which can protect the sinners in the world, but today they say disobedient words, and there will be disobedience in the future, and the sin card can no longer shelter them, and I am here by the order of Lord Li, if Lord Cao does not go to Lord Li to explain the reason and let him take back his fate, it is really difficult for this official to do." ”

Cao Yin had no choice but to say: "Okay, you should detain Ma Xiao first, and don't tamper with Tang Hai and the others, so as not to damage the prestige of the crime card and violate the emperor's legacy." ”

Hong Fan said with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't worry, the lower officials are waiting here, and Lord Wanwang will go early and return early." ”

Cao Yin hurriedly descended the mountain, and when Hong Fan saw him walking away, he laughed coldly a few times in his mouth, and strode back to the Sage Hall. "Brother Jing, Lord Cao is invited outside," Hong Fan said after tricking the Jing family brother out of the door: "Lord Cao is waiting at the bottom of the mountain." ”

After taking away Jing Kui, Jing Ying, Jing Si, and Jing Fei, Hong Fan ordered the sergeant to block the gate and shouted: "Lord Cao has an order, not to let one go, kill!" ”

Dozens of sturdy sergeants rushed to the house and slashed and poked, everyone was shocked, Liu Jia and Zhang Chuan hurriedly pulled Fang Qing into the corner of the house, Hong Shi'an kicked over a sergeant, and hurriedly hugged Luo Kong and retreated, Tang Hai grabbed Wang Shan's hand and pulled him behind everyone.

The Church of the Sages became a battlefield for a while. Xiaolong, Shan Yong, Alatai, Liujia, Siren, Shi'an, Tang Xi, Wolf Ba, Lin Yuan, Ye Yang, and Zhang Chuan's eleven people each raised their stools and chairs to fight with the officers and soldiers, and Duan Qi, Qiuguang, Lu Qi, Wang Feng, Wang Yu, and Jin Zi also picked up the fallen Pu Dao from the ground to protect Fang Qing, Luo Kong, and Wang Shan.

Tang Hai knew that today's events were extraordinary, and it would be difficult to leave the top of this elephant mountain without fighting to the death, so he slowly pulled out the evil sword, stared at it for a long time, and said: "It's okay, today's first attempt to break the evil sword, when you start killing, don't insult the prestige of the sword!" ”

"Kill!" Tang Hai gave an order and personally slashed it with a sword, and when all the heroes saw it, they became even more enthusiastic, and flocked to the officers and soldiers like a swarm. The evil sword was really extraordinary, although it was not long, but it was as sharp as clay, and where it touched, the weapons of the officers and soldiers were cut in two, which frightened the officers and soldiers.

Hong Fan once fought against Gao Yingxiang in Shanxi, recognized the evil sword, and saw that the token of the leader of the righteous army was in Tang Hai's hands, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, thinking that if the evil sword was taken away and presented to the court, he would soar in the second half of his life. So he made a move, and twenty or thirty ironclad sergeants with spears came in, and ordered: "Not a single one will be left!" ”

Tang Hai saw that the officers and soldiers came to the aid, and thought that there were still a lot of reinforcements outside, and if they didn't get out as soon as possible, everyone would definitely be trapped in this Xiangshan Sage Hall, so he shouted: "Don't fall in love with the battle, rush out quickly." ”

When they heard this, they snatched their swords and slashed at the door, and the sergeants who were still in the house saw that the gang of thugs were going to seize the gate, and they were afraid that they would be besieged inside, and they all retreated to the door. When everyone went to the door, they saw swords and guns surrounded by swords and guns outside the Sage Hall, and hundreds of sergeants with gold guns and silver armor were waiting for them, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

Wang Shandao: "Tang Hai, you and the other eighteen people each make their skills race to kill, and I and Master Luo Kong and Professor Fang Qing have the gold medal protection of the royal gift, forgive them and don't dare to come nonsense!" Fang Qing sighed and said, "Today's matter, I'm afraid that the sin card won't protect us." Luo Kong said the Buddha name, clasped his palms and said: "I didn't expect the government to kill us!" ”

As he was talking, the officers, sabers and guns rushed over one after another, and everyone had to scatter and retreat while fighting. In the chaos, Fang Qing was stabbed in the thigh by a random gun, and sat on the ground unable to walk, and the six ghosts hurriedly surrounded him. Liu Jia, Zhang Chuan, Lu Qi, and Qiu Guang waved their knives against the official army, Wang Feng and Wang Yu wanted to help them up, but Fang Qing pushed them away and said, "The six of you don't want to take care of me, hurry up and escape with Tang Hai." Liu Jia turned around and said, "No, the six of us will never abandon Professor Fang." Fang Qing said angrily: "Fang Qing has been loyal to the monarch all his life, what is the complaint when he dies under the sword and gun of the imperial court eagle dog today!" As he spoke, he pushed Wang Feng and Wang Yu away, and pulled the sleeves of Liujia and Zhang Boat and dragged them back.

happened to kill more than a dozen sergeants, and the six ghosts couldn't resist it, so they had to retreat one after another. Among the sergeants, there was a quick-eyed person who stabbed Fang Qing hard, and another sergeant raised his knife to slash Fang Qing, and a generation of Confucians shouted: "Fang Qing has been loyal and patriotic all his life, and today he died under the sword and gun of the Ming generals, hurry!" Hurry! ”

Benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and courtesy, worthy of a good Confucian son.

He was born to be loyal to the monarch and his minister, and died as the soul of the official family.

Tang Hai heard Fang Qing's shouting, raised his eyes and saw that the six ghosts were forced into a desperate situation, and he was busy with the wolf tyrant and Xiaolong to rescue, the two rushed over and slashed and saved the six ghosts, Xiaolong said: "You six people are coming down the mountain, we will come later." "Where are the six ghosts willing to go, they rushed to Tang Hai with Xiaolong and Wolf Ba, and fought with the officials and soldiers together.

At this time, I heard Luo Kong shouting: "You three go with Tang Hai, remember to break the evil and establish the righteous in vain." Everyone looked at it, Ala Tai, Si Ren, and Shi'an helped Luo Kong to run under a big tree, and twenty or thirty sergeants chased and killed him, and the master didn't know when he was stabbed in the shoulder, and he knew that his life was difficult to protect, so he told the three demons to escape. Alatai shouted: "Brother Siren carried the master down the mountain, and I and Shi'an stopped the officers and soldiers. Si Ren wanted to carry Luo Kong, Luo Kong said: "You go to fight, don't worry about me." Si Ren wanted to kill someone, and Luo Kong's words were exactly what he wanted, so he rushed towards the officials and soldiers with his sword, leaving Luo Kong alone under the tree. Seeing that Luo Kong was alone, Hong Fan shouted: "All the troops listen to the order, follow me to kill the old bald donkey!" After that, he personally led more than 20 officers and soldiers to surround him, slashing at Luo Kong, poor this living Buddha has lived for eighty-three years, and he doesn't want to die on the top of this elephant mountain.

All sentient beings are born without being born partially, and the good is due to the evil Buddha and the devil.

If you don't see the Dharma in this life, you will prove that there is no self in the next life.

As soon as Luo Kong was dead, the three demons were furious, raising their knives and slashing them in rows, and the heads of those sergeants rolled to the ground like watermelons one by one. Seeing that these eighteen people were fierce, Hong Fan was timid, and fought and retreated, while the eighteen people of Tang Hai became more and more energetic, fighting to the death one by one, and it didn't take long for them to turn defeat into victory, and they killed Hong Fan's three hundred iron armors and retreated.

Just when everyone was fighting, but unexpectedly three sergeants came out of the jungle and pounced on Wang Shan, who was sitting alone on the stones, Wang Shan was originally stabbed three times in the back, and he was weak, seeing the three sergeants running, knowing that it was difficult to escape, he simply laughed out loud, and before the laughter fell, he was killed by the three sergeants who were each stabbed.

Worship Sanqing every day, and still feel that my heart is not pure.

Cultivate to sit and forget the emptiness, and laugh and realize the road.

Tang Hai heard Wang Shan laughing, looked back, couldn't help but be shocked, hurriedly picked up the sword and came back, Duan Qi and Jin Zi also rushed over when they heard the sound, and the three of them chopped a few swords in a row and took the lives of the three sergeants. Tang Hai collected the sword, hugged Wang Shan's corpse, and was heartbroken.

Seeing this, Shan Yong was afraid that Tang Hai would lose, so he turned around and came to Tang Hai's side to guard. Over there, Hong Shi'an was annoyed that Hong Fan had killed Luo Kong, and he approached Hong Fan with a knife in his hand, and Ala Tai shouted: "I'll only kill the one surnamed Hong, and I don't want to accompany him to die!" When the sergeants heard this, they only cared about running for their lives, and no one cared about Mr. Qian. Hong Fan saw that the left and right sergeants had fled without a trace, and he was frightened, and he hid in a panic, and was caught up by Hong Shi'an and chopped off his head.

Cao Yin asked to see Li Xin of Zhizhou, but Li Xin went to the warehouse to inspect, and was about to rush to the warehouse, when he suddenly heard the sound of fighting in the distance, listened attentively, the sound came from above the Elephant Mountain, Cao Yin was shocked, hurriedly rushed back, and met the four brothers of the Jing family at the foot of the mountain.

As soon as the five masters and apprentices spoke, they knew that Cao Yin had not called Sijing down the mountain, and when they were wondering why Hong Fan would trick the Jing brothers out of the Sage Hall, they suddenly saw many sergeants escaping from the mountain, and they were all terrified and embarrassed. The five of them were shocked, grabbed the sergeant and asked, and the sergeant replied: "Three demons, six demons and nine evils are reversed!" The five of them hurriedly went up the mountain, only to see dozens of corpses, which was unbearable. After a careful search, he saw that Fang Qing, Luo Kong, and Wang Shan had been killed.

Cao Yin was shocked and said: "Tang Hai and the others are so demonic that they even killed the benefactor who took them in!" Jing Fei said: "I don't think it may be Tang Hai who wants to kill people, why did Hong Fan trick us down the mountain, it's very suspicious." ”

The five of them were speculating, and suddenly saw five or six hundred soldiers rushing up from the mountain, Li Xin rode a horse and walked in the forefront, and saw the blood stains and corpses all over the ground, Li Xin was furious, and pointed his sword at Cao Yin and scolded: "Cao Yin, as an official of the imperial court, why did he collude with gangsters to rebel?" Cao Yin was shocked when he heard this, and said strangely: "I discussed with Fang Qing, Luo Kong, and Wang Shanxiangshan, why did I rebel?" I am fighting with Tang Hai, it was you who ordered Hong Fan to come to arrest these murderers, how can I say that it is my responsibility? Li Xindao: "What do you talk about with this gang of murderers, what kind of ambition do you fight, no matter what, you invited the three sages, and now the three sages have been killed, and the eighteen murderers are missing, you can't escape the blame." Cao Yin was about to speak, but Li Xin said again: "Hugh wants to defend, what do you have to say to the emperor." Li Xin beckoned, and several soldiers swarmed Cao Yin, Jing Kui, Jing Ying, Jing Si, and Jing Fei.

Cao Yin argued in every possible way, but was still imprisoned. Li Xinxing submitted a document to the imperial court at night, and Emperor Chongzhen learned that Cao Yin, Jing Kui, Jing Ying, Jing Si, Jing Fei and the three demons, six ghosts and nine evils had gathered, and killed the three sages and all the officials and soldiers.

Poor Cao Yin was about to walk the road to Tongtian with Tongtian Wat in his hand and display his talents, but at a critical juncture, he encountered this great injustice again, and he lost his ambition in vain.
