After the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi climbed off the cliff, he first came to Peach Blossom Mountain, found Li Zhong, a tiger general, borrowed a good horse, and flew all the way to Huayin County, Shaanxi Road.

It took fifteen days to come to the foot of this Shaohua Mountain.

Look up, oh, it's a high mountain.

The peak is overgrown with shrubs, pines and cypresses, white clouds, and strange rocks stand. There is Weishui in the north such as a belt, meandering to the east, looking at Taihua Mountain in the east and towering in the clouds, Wei E is upright, seeing the ups and downs of ten thousand mountains in the south, reaching the heaven and earth, looking at the wind and smoke in the west, the confusion is endless.

Shaohua Mountain, since ancient times, has been a famous mountain in Guanzhong, with a profound cultural and historical accumulation. According to myths and legends, Shaohua Mountain and Taihua Mountain (that is, Xiyue Huashan) are a pair of handmaidens Huarong Fairy and Huafu Fairy in the Imperial Garden of the Jade Emperor of Tiangong. Shaohua Mountain is four thousand high, and was named the auxiliary of Taihua and given the name Shaohua. According to this, Zhang Heng, a famous writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty, wrote the good sentence of "embellished with Erhua" in "Xijing Fu". Since then, people regard the two mountains as sister mountains, and call Taihua and Shaohua "Erhua". The written records about Shaohua Mountain, starting from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" during the Warring States Period, have many records in the literature and classics of all dynasties. In particular, after Tang Zhaozong Li Ye enshrined Shaohua Mountain as "Youshun Waiting", and Song Shenzong Zhao Ji re-sealed Shaohua Mountain as "Fengrun Hou", Shaohua Mountain was noble and prominent, and its reputation spread far and wide.

Yang Zhi rode to the cottage occupied by Zhu Wu, jumped and shouted: "Listen to the brothers on the mountain, hurry up and report to your king, and say that someone has come to worship the mountain." ”

After shouting three times in a row, pacing back and forth waiting, after about a cup of tea, I heard a few gongs on the cottage, and then I saw more than a dozen little minions running out of a king on horseback.

Yang Zhi raised his eyes and saw this king: wearing a honey locust scarf and a red robe. Jumping off the horse flat top is eight feet high, with a thin waist tied to his arms, and his shoulders are folded. He wears a plain silver helmet with a bulge in the middle and a red tassel hanging backwards. The front is equipped with a gold forehead, which contrasts with the two dragons and treasures. There are three large and small blue pompoms around the helmet, and there is a big red pompom on the top door. The kelp is four fingers wide, and there are snow-white bright silver nails on the top, which are tightly stuck. Wearing a chain of turtle back leaves gathered into a bright silver fish armor, lined with a plain robe. The size of an ice tray for heart goggles, bright as autumn water. Wearing a royal blue armor, the lion has a scorching waist. The crotch is covered by a fish coat and tail, and three stacks of upside-down swallowing beasts are hung upside down, with a silver ring in the mouth, and it is placed horizontally behind the iron lintel. Left and right strangled skirts, bright red middle clothes. Boots with silver gray and white soles. Firmly tie the shiny silver stirrup. Looking at the face, he looks like a beautiful jade, his eyes are like a star, the bridge of his nose reaches the sky, his mouth is wide, his face is heroic, and he is handsome.

Looking at the age, he is only twenty-five or sixteen. Su Luo is inlaid with a heart, embroidered with a blue dragon, and there are white flames walking around, and the top of the golden gourd is covered, and the white spikes are hanging low. There is a jujube red horse in the crotch, and there is a golden round light in the middle of the horse's head, which is called the Red Flame Fire Dragon Pony. This horse's head to tail is two, the hooves are eight feet to the back, seven inches thin, the big hooves are brittle, the mantis neck, the hanging belly, the bamboo skewer ears, and the saddle is chewing a sharp one. The horse is also spirited, the person is also good-looking, and with a three-pointed two-edged eight-ring knife in his palm, it looks even more heroic.

The king sat on his horse and said, "Where did this friend come from, I don't know what happened to our Shaohua Mountain." ”

Yang Zhi hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Yang Zhi, the blue-faced beast in Xiaxia, is from Erlong Mountain in Shandong, and has come to meet the master of Zhu Wu Village on the order of King Lu, the owner of my family. ”

The king jumped off his horse and said, "I don't know what the name of King Lu of Erlong Mountain is. Can you tell me? ”

Yang Zhidao: "The king of my family is wise and wise. ”

The king said in surprise: "What, the king of your family is Lu Zhishen?" ”

Yang Zhidao: "The king of my family is Lu Zhishen, I don't know how this hero is called." ”

The king stepped forward and followed Yang Zhi's hand and said, "My name is Shi Jin, and I am an old friend of your King Lu!" ”

Yang Zhi said happily when he heard this: "It turns out that you are the Nine Pattern Dragon Shi Jin, great, great!" ”

Shi Jin said: "Brother Yang, this is not the place to speak, please go to the cottage to talk about it." ”

Yang Zhi followed Shi Jin up the mountain and came to the gathering hall, only to see a good man standing at the door.

On the left is a red-faced man who is seven feet five tall, and on the right is a white-faced man eight feet tall. In the middle is a man in his early thirties wearing a Taoist robe, with a slightly white red face and a three-willow beard on his chin.

Seeing Shi Jin leading Yang Zhi over, the servants stepped forward and said, "King, I don't know who this friend is?" ”

Shi Jin pointed at Yang Zhi and said: "This is a good man from Erlong Mountain, and the people in the rivers and lakes call the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi." ”

Then Shi Jin pointed to the three and said to Yang Zhi: "Come, Brother Yang, let me introduce you to these three." As he spoke, he introduced them one by one, and the person dressed in the middle was Zhu Wu, the god machine military master, the red-faced one was the jumping tiger Chen Da, and the slender and tall white-faced one was called the white flower snake Yang Chun.

There are now four kings on Shaohua Mountain, and it turned out that Shi went to Yan'an to find his master Wang Jin in vain, and after returning to his hometown, he also went to Shaohua Mountain.

Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun, the original owners of Shaohua Mountain, felt that Shi Jin was righteous and had a life-saving grace for them, and second, Shi Jin's skills were strong, so they worshiped Shi Jin as the owner of Shaohua Mountain.

After Shi Jin introduced to everyone, he said: "Hurry up and set up a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust for the heroes from Erlong Mountain." ”

Yang Zhi hurriedly said: "Four village masters, don't bother, Yang Zhi came here to ask for something important." ”

Shi Jin said: "Brother Yang, what's the matter, come quickly, don't be polite." ”

Yang Zhi took out the letter written by Lu Zhishen from his arms and handed it to Shi Jindao: "Erlong Mountain has been besieged for a long time, and Yang Zhi came to ask for help. ”

Shi Jin took the letter, and when he saw that the envelope said Zhu Wu personally opened, he handed the letter to Zhu Wudao: "Brother Zhu, it is written to you, hurry up and take a look." ”

Zhu Wu took the letter and was taken aback, and hurriedly stuffed the letter to Shi Jin and said, "Owner of the village, take a look and get an idea." ”

Shi Jin took the letter and looked at it and said, "Oh, how can this be done." Brother Zhu, Shi Jin's Brother Lu is in trouble, hurry up and pack up and go down the mountain to help. I'm going with you. Chen Da and Yang Chun stayed in the cottage to take care of the family. ”

said something: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Bring some cooked meat steamed buns, eat them and hurry up. ”

Everyone was in a hurry to fill their stomachs and selected five minions.

Rescue soldiers are like fighting fires, Yang Zhi, Shi Jin, and Zhu Wu did not dare to delay any longer, leading five minions of soldiers, all of whom rode fast horses, and eight people and eight horses. galloped day and night to Erlong Mountain.

After more than 20 days of traveling, I came to the foot of Erlong Mountain in the evening.

Yang Zhi looked at it, the officers and soldiers were still surrounding Erlong Mountain, and then looked at the mountain, a big yellow flag embroidered with two dragons on the wall of the wall was still flying high in the wind, and he sighed and said: "Fortunately, Erlong Mountain is still in the hands of Brother Lu." ”

Shi Jin said: "Then what should we do now." ”

Yang Zhi took out a firework from his arms and said: "When I went down the mountain, I had already made an appointment with Brother Lu, and when I came back, I put this on, and Brother Lu would go down the mountain to pick up." ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Okay, let's get off the horse and rest first, and then go up the mountain when it gets dark again." ”

Eight men jumped off their horses and led them into a wood.

Everyone took out the dry food from the burden on the horse's back and ate it.

Then he lay down on the grass and rested for nearly an hour, watching the officers and soldiers under the mountain light piles of bonfires again.

Shi Jin said to Yang Zhi: "Brother Yang, it's almost time!" ”

Yang Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, let's do this, I will take the lead in front for a while, Brother Shi Jin will be behind, Brother Zhu Wu and the five brothers will be in the middle, and as soon as I see the fireworks, we will rush to the mountain." ”

Shi Jin said: "Okay! Get ready, everyone! ”

Eight people walked out of the woods and stepped onto the war horses.

Yang Zhi took out a firework from his arms and lit it, only to hear the "whoosh" fireworks brightly lit up in the sky.

Wu Song, who was standing on Erlong Mountain and looking at it, hurriedly ran into the Juyi Hall and shouted to Lu Zhishen: "Big brother, look, Yang Zhi is back." ”

Lu Zhishen laughed and said, "Haha, I estimate that the big green face is coming back in the past few days." As he spoke, he grabbed the Zen staff and said, "Brother Erlang, let's rush down the mountain and pick them up the mountain." ”

At this time, a flag officer who was looking out on the cloud tower saw that at the foot of the mountain, a forest suddenly had fireworks shining brightly, and before he could rush to report to Ren Fei, the commander-in-chief of the enemy, he heard someone shouting: "Oh no, someone broke into the camp." ”

The officers and men never dreamed that someone would kill them from behind, and they were in a hurry.

Yang Zhi urged the horse to pick up the knife "click" and slash and slash, killing a bloody road, five brave and good fighting minions surrounded Zhu Wu, who was holding the double knife, followed up, rushed through the three barricades in one breath, and saw that they were about to approach the foot of the mountain, and the officers and soldiers recovered their strength and chased closely from behind.

Shi Jin, who was delayed, shouted: "It's good to come!" The three-pointed two-edged eight-ring knife in the round hand slashed down and picked down, cutting down more than a dozen officers and soldiers, but after all, there were many officers and soldiers, the front was cut down, and the back rushed up, that was really going forward and one after another, and soon surrounded Yang Zhi, Zhu Wu, Shi Jin and other eight people, and shouted loudly: "Surrender, surrender can spare you from death." ”

Nine-Pattern Dragon Shi Jin scolded: "Vote for your mother's old legs!" Kill! Eight people fought hard, all of them exhausted and panting, watching the encirclement of officers and soldiers getting smaller and smaller.

At this moment, I heard the officers and soldiers crying loudly: "Dude, run!" The two killing gods came down from the mountain. ”

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, and under the moonlight, they saw Lu Zhishen and Wu Song with a Zen staff and two steel knives, like dragons, like lightning killing, followed by more than a hundred brothers who were like dragons and tigers.

Forcibly tore a big hole in the encirclement, and Lu Zhishen shouted together: "Brother Yang Zhi, go back to the mountain with me." As he spoke, he waved the wand of the water mill and the wind, and the mad tiger pounced on the officers and soldiers who had just come up, and Yang Zhi shouted to Zhu Wu and the others: "Hurry up!" "Beat the horse and run up the hill. (To be continued.) )
