After Chao Chong, Li Kui, and Yang Zhi were full of wine and food, they walked east for another hour and returned to Erlong Mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chao Chong introduced Yang Zhi to the generals, and in this era of speaking about the lintel, the generals heard that Yang Zhi was the descendant of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion, and they were all in awe, which made Yang Zhi very useful.

After that, Chao Chong led Yang Zhi to inspect Erlong Mountain and told about the military establishment and military rules on the mountain. Before you know it, it's noon again.

Chao Chong ordered people to prepare a banquet, and he wanted to wash the dust with Yang Zhi.

After a slap, you should give another sweet date. Now that Yang Zhi has fallen into the grass, he can no longer persecute him, but should give him respect, so as to eliminate his frustration when he fell into the grass.

Two tables of eight immortals are put together to form a long table, which can seat twelve people. Wine and meat filled the table.

Chao Chong and Yang Zhi sat in the main and deputy positions respectively, and Lei Ting, Dongfang Xiao, Cao Zheng, Wu Song, Shen Tulie, Chao Yang, Chao Sheng, Shi Qian, and Li Kui were accompanied.

After the eleven people sat down, they filled the wine bowl and said, "Today's banquet is only for one thing, and that is to welcome Yang Zhi's envoy to the mountain." Everyone has a full bowl! ”

In the welcome of everyone, Yang Zhi also drank a bowl of wine with everyone.

After the second bowl was full, Chao Chong said: "My brothers on Erlong Mountain are like-minded. I also like to be outspoken. Why did Yang make him go up the mountain? Because I lost the birth gang, I was forced to be helpless. Some people will frame Yang as a thief who colluded with thieves to guard and steal, but everyone knows that this is not the truth! Although he is now going up the mountain and falling into the grass, I once said to him: If you know me first, you are a thief who eats inside and outside. You know that I am waiting behind, and in the face of gossip, you can have a clear conscience! We all know that Yang is a hero! So, this second bowl, let us ask the clear-hearted hero! ”

The crowd applauded loudly, and it was another bowl of belly. Yang Zhi is also related, he is always suspected and misunderstood in the official government, and he doesn't want to gain trust in the bandits' den!

Pour the third bowl. Chao Chong continued: "When I was a child, I heard my mother tell me a story that everyone corresponds to a star in the sky, so whenever someone dies, a shooting star is crossed. When I grew up, I began to wonder if this was the case, and after a war, there would be thousands of dead, and there would be another meteor shower on the spot! ”

Everyone laughed.

Chao Chong continued: "Later, I thought that it should be that the stars corresponding to ordinary mortals are dim and dim, and even if they fall, they are silent. It is unknown when he is born, and no one pays attention to him after death. But the stars corresponding to those princes and generals, heroes and heroes are extremely bright, and whenever such heroes fall, there will be a vision of heaven and earth! Or like a meteor streaking across the sky, or like a comet sweeping across the moon, or like a rainstorm pouring down for a moment! It can be said that the time of life is shining, and the earth is shaking after death! Heroes, when this is the case, it is not in vain to go through the world. What does Yang think? ”

Yang Zhi was coerced by Chao Chong to go up the mountain, and the scene of surviving at that time made him somewhat ashamed of himself, and when he saw Chao Chong explaining him, he was also relieved in his heart, and said: "What Chao Dangjia said is good, people should not die in obscurity." ”

Although everyone didn't quite understand the deep meaning of Chao Chong's story, they agreed with the truth in it and said, "Hero, be like this!" ”

Chao Chong continued: "I believe that each corresponding star has its own destiny. When you start to go astray, the hand of fate will quietly put you back on the right track. That's why some of us feel that sometimes our lives change dramatically, and bad luck keeps befalling us, and that's because you've gone astray. Think about it a year ago, the eleven of us here, each of us has their own life trajectory, scattered in all directions, and has their own life plan. But now? We gathered around a table, and the trajectories of our lives came together. What is it? This is fate, providence. Come, let's have another bowl for the encounter of fate! ”

They all threw their necks up and drank together. Yang Zhi couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, his fate had several twists and turns, and he was promoted to the commander of the forbidden army with a good future, but when he was transporting Huashigang, he was blown down by a gust of wind on the canal, and he died in the rivers and lakes from then on. finally waited for the Son of Heaven to amnesty the world, and returned to Tokyo to restore his original position, but because he raised money to sell knives, he killed Niu Er in anger! was finally valued by Liang Zhongshu, and he lost his birthday to his father-in-law Cai Jing!

Is this really fate? Is there really an invisible hand of fate manipulating itself? Is the trajectory of his fate really to be a thief for the rest of his life?

Three bowls of wine. Free drinking banquet, Thunder and other generals toasted Yang Zhi one after another, and the atmosphere was warm, which somewhat alleviated Yang Zhi's depressed mood: there was finally a group of like-minded people.

After a few bowls of wine, Chao Chong said: "With the martial arts and former official position of the Yang envoy, it is not too much to be the head of the mountain in my mountain, but in my mountain, what is more important is the ability." If Yang Zhizhi feels that he can hold any position, he can challenge them, and as long as he wins, he can replace them! Thunder, Dongfang, Wu Song, Shen Tu, the four of you are out of the ranks! ”

The four of them clasped their fists and said, "I'm willing to come and learn the martial arts of Yang Zhi's envoy!" If you lose, there is no other word, immediately abdicate and make way for Xian! ”

When Yang Zhi was in the Daimyo's Mansion, he was also a challenger to the pioneer Suo Chao and was valued by Liang Zhongshu, but because of this, he was squeezed out by the generals in the Daming Mansion army. How could he be willing to make such a mistake again, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Yang Zhi is down, and he is already very grateful to be taken in by the cottage, how dare he apply for a position again, and be a pawn under Chao Dangjia, it is enough!" ”

While everyone was pushing and conceding, a soldier came in and reported: "Chief, there is a fat monk at the foot of the mountain, who keeps saying that he wants to go up the mountain to join the gang, but he speaks wildly, and he is blocked in front of the first level, please instruct!" ”

Chao Chong thought for a moment and said, "Let him go up the mountain and lead him to the front of the Baozhu Temple!" ”

The soldiers responded and left.

But at the time of a stick of incense, a fat monk with a shirtless body, a flower show tattoo, and a clothes tied around his waist, carried a water mill Zen stick and staggered to the top of the mountain and walked to the front of the Baozhu Temple. The soldier said to him, "Wait here first, let me go in!" ”

The great monk snorted: "Just a broken temple door, there is something worth giving, shout it." ”

The soldiers ignored him, walked to the temple, and saluted the two soldiers on duty in front of the temple gate: "The monk under the mountain has brought it, please inform the leader!" ”

The soldier on duty saluted, "Wait! After speaking, he turned around and entered the temple, and soon, Chao Chong and his party stepped out and said with a smile: "Which master is coming!" ”

The fat monk is Lu Zhishen, because he rescued Lin Chong in the wild boar forest, he was hated by Gao Yu, and he couldn't place an order in Daxiangguo Temple, so he had to live in the rivers and lakes. When passing by the cross slope, he was almost made into a steamed bun by Sun Erniang, but fortunately, Zhang Qing came back in time to save his life. Listen to Zhang Qing, the vegetable garden, said that on the ground of Qingzhou, there is an Erlong Mountain, and there is a Baozhu Temple on the mountain. The big leader is called Liu San, and the second leader is called Deng Long, the golden-eyed tiger. Since they are all monks, they should be able to get along, so I recommend Lu Zhishen to come and join in.

Lu Zhishen traveled thousands of miles from the cross slope of Mengzhou to Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou, and heard on the way that the big leader of the Baozhu Temple of Erlong Mountain descended to the dragon Rulai Liu San was beheaded by the king of Tota Chao Gai last year, and now the second leader Deng Long gathered a group of people to be free on the mountain, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, that Deng Long should also be a person who has no ability, and he took his Erlong Mountain Baozhu Temple, and also became a carefree village master, the abbot of wine and meat!

But what he saw and heard along the mountain made Lu Zhishen quite worried, the soldiers on the mountain were serious and orderly, not only did they not look like bandits, but they did things in a decent manner, so is the leader of this mountain an incompetent person? It seems that I have underestimated this golden-eyed tiger Deng Long a little!

Chao Chong has blocked the news since he captured Erlong Mountain a month ago. Therefore, few people under the mountain know that Erlongshan has changed its surname to Chao.

Chao Chong looked at this tall monk, with a waist of ten girths, and full of flower tattoos, and guessed that this should be the flower monk Lu Zhishen. So he arched his hand and said, "I heard that this master is going to join the gang?" ”

Lu Zhishen looked at the leading young man, his appearance was handsome, a little immature, and he didn't look like a bandit leader. On the contrary, Li Kui, who was following Chao Chong, looked vicious, with a pinch of heart hair on his chest exposed, which was the standard dress of a thief.

Lu Zhishen saluted with one hand and said: "I heard that the leader of the Sprinkle family here is a monk, and the Sprinkle family is also a monk, and the monks in the world have been a family since ancient times, so come and take a partner, and sit on a chair by the way." Tell that Deng Long to come out and meet him! ”

Chao Chong fixed his eyes and watched

Name: Lu Zhishen (Flower Monk)

Health: 2900/2900

Commander-in-Chief: 76

Force: 97

Intelligence: 47

Politics: 48

Glamour: 69

Affinity: Curious

Traits: King Kong (Everywhere he goes, he is like King Kong with angry eyes, majestic, and easy to gain the respect of others.) ）

Chao Chong smiled and said: "I'm afraid that the master is late, then Deng Long has already gone west to meet Ru here!" ”

Lu Zhishen was shocked: "There is such a thing! Who are you? ”

Chao Chong said: "In Xia Chao Chong, add this mountain leader." ”

Lu Zhishen said with some disbelief: "You are a hairless doll with a hairless mouth, how can He De be the big leader of this mountain, is it not coerced by these wicked people." Why don't you let the sprinkler do it! I've taken care of these wicked people for you! ”

After speaking, he lifted the Zen staff and pointed at Li Kui behind him.

Li Kui jumped like thunder, pulled out two plate axes, and roared: "Bald donkey, this is also a place for you to be presumptuous, let me cut off your bald head and kick it as a ball!" ”

Lu Zhishen was not a good temper either, jumped a step back, and said, "Don't besiege if you're a hero, that, dare to be one-on-one with grandpa?" ”

Li Kui was about to agree, but Chao Chong waved his hand to stop Li Kui. With Li Kui's martial arts, it would be a defeat to go up. Although Lu Zhishen is powerful, if he doesn't beat, he will inevitably be too arrogant, so he shouted to Dongfang behind him: "Dongfang, go up and practice with the master!" ”

Dongfang Xiao found a tiger-tailed iron square beam and went out according to his words.

The only people who can compete in martial arts on the mountain are Wu Song, Shen Tulie, Dongfang Xiao, and Yang Zhi.

Thunder and Chaoyang are still inexperienced.

Li Kui is a bad thing, a master of battle, even if he can't lose for a while by relying on his desperate characteristics, he will definitely not be able to win.

But among the four of Wu Song, Shen Tu Lie, Dongfang Xiao, and Yang Zhi, Wu Song and Shen Tu Lie used double knives and light weapons to fight against Lu Zhishen's sixty-two catties of water mill Zen staff, which was too much of a loss.

Yang Zhi's Pu Dao can fight with Lu Zhishen, but Yang Zhigang went up the mountain and is not suitable for fighting.

In the end, only Dongfang Xiao, who is equally powerful and infinite, uses seventy-two catties of tiger tail iron square beams.

Lu Zhishen and Dongfang Xiao didn't talk nonsense, and started to fight directly. The two heavy weapons kept clashing, and the soldiers kept ringing. Like two dragons competing for treasure, a pair of tigers competing for food. Tie Fang Liang lifted half of the golden snake, and the Zen staff took off the whole body of the jade python.

The two fought to the death, set up a machine fight, and won or lost in seventy or eighty rounds. Lu Zhishen scolded in his heart: "It's a mess!" ”

Although Lu Zhishen is rude, he is not stupid. When he arrived on the mountain, he deliberately made provocative remarks, in fact, in order to fight with people, and then win the battle and establish his prestige, so that after joining the gang, he could also get a good position, a certain high seat.

originally thought that with his own skills, he should sweep across the mountain, and no one could beat him. But who knows, the first battle met people who were evenly divided. How's that going now? Lu Zhishen thought about it with all his heart, and the two fought for more than 20 rounds.

In the hundred rounds, the two still won or lost, but everyone who watched was secretly frightened, this monk who had just gone up the mountain was really good! Fortunately, it was Dongfang Xiao who played and replaced someone else on the field, I am afraid that he will already lose at this time.

Yang Zhi was also shocked, he believed in his martial arts, he was born in Jiangmen, he practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he was proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts. It can be seen that the two are fighting, and they secretly compare themselves in their hearts, and if they are themselves, they are afraid that they will be opponents!

Lu Zhishen made up his mind, deliberately sold a flaw, jumped out of the circle, and shouted: "Stop!" ”

Lu Zhishen and Dongfang Xiao both stopped. Dongfang Xiao secretly applauded: "This monk from there is really a good skill and high means, and I just had a tie with him." ”

Lu Zhishen shouted: "Wu Na Han, I see that your martial arts seem to have moves in the Western Army, but have you ever enlisted in the Western Army?" ”

Dongfang Xiao frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Zhishen said happily: "No wonder the Sprinkle family feels familiar. I also served in the Western Army, and served as a magistrate under the public account of Xiaojing and Strategy, named Luda, and his legal name was Zhishen. Dare to ask the name of a good man? ”

Dongfang Xiao groaned slightly: "Dongfang Xiao." ”

Lu Zhishen was shocked: "Could it be the Dongfang Xiao who defected to Western Xia?" ”

Dongfang Xiao snorted coldly: "I am here now, how can I defect to Western Xia?" ”

Lu Zhishen nodded and said, "Reasonable." The white horse roars in the west wind, the iron spear shines in the east, and the name of the eastern whistle is like thunder in the western army. They said that you killed Shangguan and defected to Western Xia, but I didn't believe it at the time, and I was sure to be right. ”

Dongfang Xiao snorted coldly and stopped talking. Although Lu Zhishen is curious, he is not easy to ask other people's little secrets.

Suddenly, a person interjected in the middle of the sentence and said: "Is the master just punching and killing the town of Guanxi, the wild boar forest rescued Lin Chong, and escorted all the way to Cangzhou, the righteous and cloudy Lu Tizhi?" ”

Lu Zhishen said a little proudly: "Yes, it's the Sprinkle family!" ”

The man rushed to Lu Zhishen, fell to his knees, and kowtowed three times in a row, Lu Zhishen was so embarrassed that he hurriedly helped him.

The man said: "Under the name of Cao Zheng, Lin Chong is the family teacher!" If it weren't for the master escorting him all the way, the family teacher would have been killed by Gao Yuna! So Cao Zheng wants to thank the master! ”

Lu Zhishen also said suddenly: "I heard Brother Lin Chong talk about you, but I didn't expect to meet here!" I heard that your master is in Liangshan, why are you here? ”

Cao Zheng sighed: "When the master arrived at Naliang Shanbo, he was made difficult by Wang Lun, a white-clothed showman, in every way, and his life was very unsatisfactory, and the atmosphere there was really embarrassing!" ”

Yang Zhi saw them talking about Lin Chong, and also remembered the interaction with Lin Chong in Liangshan last year, so he said: "Yes, when I returned to Tokyo last year, I met Lin Jiaotou, met friends with martial arts, and fought nearly 100 rounds. Later, I stayed in Liangshanbo for a few days, and I also saw that Lin Jiaotou was angry everywhere, but it was a pity! ”

When Lu Zhishen heard that this person with a mole on his face said that he could fight against Lin Chong for a hundred rounds, he thought that he was a martial artist, so he said, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

Yang Zhi arched his hand and said: "The people of the rivers and lakes call the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi is!" ”

Lu Zhi said happily: "Didn't you sell knives in Tokyo and kill Niu Er?" ”

Yang Zhi smiled miserably, lifted his forehead and said, "There is a gold seal here!" ”

Lu Zhishen smiled: "I have always admired the great name, but I don't want to meet here." ”

Chao Chong saw that he really couldn't fight, so he came forward and said: "Okay everyone, since we are all acquaintances, this is not a place to talk, how about eating and chatting together at a banquet?" ”

Lu Zhishen said: "I didn't expect that your doll is really the master of this cottage!" It's a blessing to have so many heroes under your command! The Sprinkle family is indeed hungry and thirsty, and has no strength in his body, otherwise he will have to fight against the heroes. ”

Everyone entered the Baozhu Temple, and after taking a seat at the banquet, Lu Zhishen and everyone toasted one by one. After drinking and eating, Cao Zheng said to Lu Zhishen: "Master, have you heard of Gao Yanei's death, Gao Yu was stabbed and lost an ear?" ”

Lu Zhishen patted his thigh and said, "How can the Sprinkle family not know!" After hearing about this, the Sprinkle family drank good wine for three days in a row, and they couldn't wait to thank the Tokyo traveler in person! ”

Yang Zhiye said: "I also heard when I was in Daming Mansion that Gao Yu asked me for a bribe, and I sold knives in desperation, which led to a lawsuit." Such a tanguan is really damned! ”

Cao Zheng smiled: "Then do you know who this person is?" ”

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said: "There are a lot of people who are impersonating, but this case has not been solved so far!" After this incident, Lin Chong's eldest brother's house was also burned to ashes, and the sister-in-law's family did not know whether they were alive or dead. Lu Zhishen looked at Cao Zheng and suddenly realized: "Could it be you?" ”

Cao Zheng said with a smile: "Now the master's family has been safely escorted to Liangshanbo to reunite with the master. But the Tokyo chivalrous guest who rescued the teacher, killed Gao Yanei, and cut off Gao Yu's ear is not me! ”

Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi were curious: "Who is that?" ”

Cao Zheng and everyone around laughed, Cao Zheng said: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you!" After speaking, he pointed to Chao Chong and said: "It is the master of our cottage, Chao Chong Chao Gongzi!" ”

Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi said in disbelief: "Really? ”

Li Kui was dissatisfied, and jumped out to look at Lu Zhishen demonstratively, his "" was still deeply hated by Li Kui. Li Kui told the story of traveling with Chao Chong in Tokyo, of course, adding oil and vinegar.

Yang Zhi was shocked.

Lu Zhishen was in awe, and said to Chao Chong: "I don't want Engong to be here!" ”

After a banquet, everyone was familiar, Chao Chong decided to transfer a group of backbones from the first and second capitals to form the third capital, the head of Luda, the head of the sect Yang Zhi, and the marquis of Yu were concurrently served by Chao Sheng, the captain of the archery team.

The personnel who are not in the middle of the three have recently gone down the mountain to recruit them, so that they can be fully staffed as soon as possible.
