Chapter 254: No Roots
Chapter 254
Yanmen Pass is the historical symbol of the ancient Song and Ming dynasties, as soon as Yanmen Pass is said, people immediately think of the story of the Yang family in the Song Dynasty who will be the successor of the country.
"There are nine stops in the world, and Yanmen is the head." "The first pass of Jiusai respect" Xiongguan is close to the mountain, high on the mountain, and is one of the main central passages for the wild geese to go south and return to the north.
On the east and west wings, the mountains are undulating.
The Great Wall of the mountain ridge, its potential is meandering, and it goes east to Pingxingguan, Bauhinia Pass, and Baoma Pass, and reaches Youyan and connects Hanhai; Go west to Xuangangkou, Ningwu Pass, and Yatou Pass to the Yellow River.
There are two gates of east and west, all of which are stacked with huge bricks, pass through the wild goose through the clouds, the bearing is magnificent, and the door forehead is carved and embedded with two plaques of "natural risk" and "geographical advantage" respectively.
There was a city tower built on the east and west two gates, towering in the air, the group portrait of the Yang family general was molded inside, and outside the east city gate, the monument was erected for Li Mujian Ancestral Hall.
In the world of the Nine Yin True Scriptures, during the Ming Dynasty, although Zhu Yuanzhang expelled Meng Yuan from the Central Plains with the help of the power of Mingjiao and was called the emperor, he actually did not completely defeat the Meng Yuan forces.
Therefore, every year there will be Mongolian cavalry to detain the pass, and the villagers living near the Yanmen Pass, they are always affected by the war, although the Ming Dynasty court has always had the intention to beat Meng Yuan back to the far north of the hometown, but because of various internal and external obstacles, has not been able to take shape.
Only two days after Tong Yuchen's wedding, he left his newlywed wife Tang Meng, and rode alone to Yanmen Pass, blocking Meng Yuan Buckle Pass, naturally there is a Ming border army, Tong Yuchen went here to save the people outside Yanmen Pass, and by the way, see if there is a chance to assassinate one or two senior officers of Meng Yuan.
Tong Yuchen's martial arts have reached the realm of shaking the heavens and the earth, looking at the world, although he cannot be said to be invincible, he can be his opponent. It's just a two-handed number.
Passing by the Xu family, the Nangong family, Tong Yuchen did not stop for a moment, although there are his two women Xu Yunrong and Nangong Yuzhen here, but now is obviously not the time to rekindle the passion. The system reminded Tong Yuchen that there were still ten days to go, and the Mengyuan army was about to attack on a large scale, and he had to arrive in advance.
As soon as Tong Yuchen arrived in Shanxi on horseback, he saw a horse approaching quickly and looked back. Seeing that it was a beauty dressed in a purple forging palace dress, covered with tulle, and with a delicate undulating figure, it could be seen that she was a player from the big words Xu Zhibing on the top of her head. Tong Yuchen glanced at her and ignored it.
If it was usual, maybe Tong Yuchen would still be in the mood to go up and talk to Xu Zhibing, but now in Shanxi, not far from Heimu Cliff, her two women, Ren Yingying and Xiao Qingcheng, are there, plus they are in a hurry, so it is not good to steal their mouths.
Xu Zhibing didn't pay attention to it when she saw Tong Yuchen glancing at her. I can't help but be angry in my heart, this girl is naturally beautiful, isn't it worth your second look? Want to get away with it? There are no doors.
Xu Zhibing snorted. didn't take the initiative to talk to Tong Yuchen, anyway, she knew, but all players who came to Shanxi at this time had the basic goal of Yanmen Pass, and they were not afraid that they would not have the opportunity to contact Tong Yuchen.
After seeing each other, the two men immediately left. Tong Yuchen had no intention of going to Heimu Cliff, he went straight to Yanmen Pass. Xiao Qingcheng was waiting for him on the road ahead, and Ren Yingying wanted to stay at the Black Wood Cliff. So it didn't come out.
When I saw Xiao Tingcheng, this girl was eating in the inn in the town, looking at the big table full of dishes, it was obvious that she couldn't finish eating alone, at this moment, a heroic young man with a long sword in his hand and a blue brocade robe walked into the inn, looked around the inn hall, and came to Xiao Tingcheng's table with a smile.
"Hello Miss Xiao, in Xia Linzi, I don't know if I have the honor to have lunch with Miss Xiao." The young man named Lin Zi said with a smile.
Xiao Tingcheng glanced at Lin Zi and ignored it, although the young man in front of him was already close to the cultivation of divine skills, but her Xiao Tingcheng's man was Tong Yuchen, who had already achieved the realm of earth-shattering, how could he be accosted by Lin Zi.
Lin Zi touched his nose, he just wanted to eat with beautiful women, and he didn't want to soak in Xiao Chengcheng, so he was treated like this, but Lin Zi was not angry, he was not a stingy person.
He knew that a girl as good as Xiao Tingcheng and from modern times had a kind of arrogance that all girls in this era could not match, so it was normal to eat a closed door.
"Miss Xiao's strength is extraordinary, I admire it, it seems that there is no reason for the girl to exchange martial arts experience today." Lin Zi shook his head regretfully, and was about to turn around and change his position, but saw two players outside the gate, one male and one female, one after the other.
These two players, naturally Tong Yuchen and Xu Zhibing, Tong Yuchen saw Lin Zi, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "Okay, you kid, you have made a lot of progress in cultivation recently." ”
Lin Zi still had a good impression of Tong Yuchen, after all, Lin Zi had saved his life, and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Saying that, Lin Zi greeted Xu Zhibing again: "Hello Miss Xu, I'm Lin Zi, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me." ”
Although Xu Zhibing has a thin veil on her face, it does not completely cover her face, on the contrary, this half-concealed appearance has an alternative beauty.
The corners of Xu Zhibing's mouth twitched, and she showed a smile to Lin Zi, the few people who gathered at this time were in the forefront of the player group, so they didn't have any sense of rustiness, and under Tong Yuchen's greeting, several people sat down at a table.
Xu Zhibing's expression was faint, and there was no expression on her fair and delicate face, but she said proudly in her heart: "Heh, damn Tang Yu Xiaobao, if you want to get away with it, it's not that you can't bear it." ”
Several people were eating the dishes, but they didn't drink alcohol, Tong Yuchen quickly ate all kinds of meat, and said to Lin Zi: "You kid, what are the opportunities during this time, your skills have improved by leaps and bounds!" ”
Lin Zi glanced at Tong Yuchen, who was eating fast and not rude, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said: "It's nothing, I had an adventure, and a senior master who called himself the old man of the Nine Palaces was surprised by my bones and had extraordinary talents, so he accepted me as an apprentice, not only instructing me the in-depth cultivation method of Xuezhai swordsmanship, but also teaching me a set of five elements of mental method." ”
After Lin Zi ate a piece of braised mutton, he continued: "There are five elements in the sky, water, fire, gold, wood and earth, time-sharing and cultivation, in order to become all things, these five elements follow the mechanism of heaven and earth, can transform the aura of all things, accept it for one's own use, and hide the sea of qi." So that luck is like a trickle of water, endless. ”
After listening to the outline of the Five Elements Mental Method, Tong Yuchen roughly understood the attributes of this mental method, nodded, and said, "This mental method is good. It complements the swordsmanship of Xuezhai, which requires a lot of internal breath luck. ”
Lin Zi said with some greed: "It's a pity that I didn't learn the evil skill against the sky, that is the most suitable internal skill method for Xue Zhai." ”
"I think sunflowers are more suitable for you!" Tong Yuchen put down his chopsticks and said seriously.
"......" Lin Zi.
Tong Yuchen and Lin Zi chatted hotly, and Xu Zhibing on the other side was not left out in the cold, she was warmly welcomed by Xiao Tingcheng, who had been transformed into the queen of lilies at this time. After training Ren Yingying, he put the second target on Xu Zhibing.
The first is that Xu Zhibing seems to be interested in her husband Tong Yuchen, and the second point is, of course, Xu Zhibing herself is beautiful enough and has a good temperament. has successfully aroused Xiao Tingcheng's interest.
After finishing the meal, everyone continued on the road, they were going to rush to Dongquan Village outside Yanmen Pass within today, at this moment, it was not far from the arrival of the Mengyuan army.
On horseback, Tong Yuchen put his mouth to Xiao Qingcheng's ear, who was sitting in his arms, and shielded the surrounding air with internal force. He said softly: "Sister Allure, what did you say to Miss Xu, look at her gloomy expression." If you don't ride your own horse, you have to sit in my arms. ”
Xiao Qingcheng smiled proudly, turned his head, leaned into Tong Yuchen's ear, and said softly in an evil tone: "Of course, it is to declare my sovereignty over you, and let that Miss Xu die." Let go of the idea of you and throw yourself into my arms. ”
“……!” Tong Yuchen.
Lin Zi looked at the beauty in his arms. Tong Yuchen, who was laughing on the horse, couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart. looked sideways at Xu Zhibing, whose face was covered with frost beside him, and thought expectantly, maybe Miss Xu was a good choice.
……
The majestic Heng Mountain, along the northern border of Dai County, stretches. The inner Great Wall winding on the top of the mountain is like a jade belt connecting beads, connecting Yanmen Mountain, Mantou Mountain and Caoduo Mountain into one. It is bordered by the Yanbei Plateau in the north and the Xinding Basin in the south. The famous Yanmen Gusai is built on the steep Yanmen Mountain Ridge.
When Tong Yuchen and his party of four came here, they were stopped in front of Yanmen Pass, and the soldiers guarding the city saw that the four people in their hands were all armed with swords, and their bearing was extraordinary, and their tone was quite polite: "A few young heroes, now Meng Yuan is detained, for safety, martial law has been imposed inside and outside Yanmen Pass, and a few young heroes are invited to return to the pass as soon as possible, don't be injured by the war, such a matter of protecting the family and defending the country, or leave it to our border guards." ”
Tong Yuchen nodded, did not embarrass the guards, and turned his head to look at the two middle-aged men in coarse cloth clothes and dressed as farmers who were kneeling by the city gate, begging for something.
"Dare to ask the general, what is the matter with these two farmers, here they are begging bitterly." Tong Yuchen asked the guards of the city.
The soldier sighed: "These two farmers are from Dongquan Village near Yanmen Pass, and now that the Mongols are in turmoil, Dongquan Village may have fallen into the flames of war, right?" I hate that the strength of my border soldiers is insufficient, and they can't go out of the customs to rescue, alas, they can't protect my Ming people, and we are vain soldiers. ”
Tong Yuchen was silent, and a system prompt sounded in his ears: "Open the Yanmen Pass Wulin Line, please quickly follow the villagers of Dongquan Village to Dongquan Village and start the rescue." ”
With Xiao Tingcheng, Lin Zi, and Xu Zhibing, they glanced at each other and reached a consensus, Tong Yuchen walked to the two farmers and said: "Two fellow villagers, the four of us are martial arts people from the Central Plains, and please lead the way and go to Dongquan Village to rescue and stop the Mongolian army from making trouble." ”
The two farmers were stunned, they were already desperate, at this time there were four people who claimed to be martial arts masters who said that they wanted to save them, and the two of them knew that it was impossible for the Yanmen defenders to help them save people, so the dead horse was a live horse doctor, and they decisively led the way in front and asked Tong Yuchen and the four to help them.
……
Just when Tong Yuchen and his party went to Dongquan Village, the East China Sea, Peach Blossom Island.
According to ancient legend, there is a very beautiful peach blossom island in the East China Sea, the island has many flowers and trees, purple and red, especially in the spring of March, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the scenery is even more beautiful.
Hundreds of years ago, there was a talented martial arts predecessor who lived in seclusion on Peach Blossom Island, and planted many patchwork peach trees on the island according to the legacy of Zhuge Liang's Eight Formations.
Coupled with the combination of mountains, rocks, springs, and all kinds of flowers and trees, people who don't know the five elements of Qimen not only rarely enter the island, but also have the danger of dying in the peach blossom array.
A mysterious man dressed in black touched the Peach Blossom Island, and he regarded the Peach Blossom Array on the Peach Blossom Island as nothing, in a short time. broke through this formation and entered the interior of Peach Blossom Island......
At the same time, the Imperial City of Jinling had no root gate.
It is impossible to know when and where the rootless gate was founded, but it is known that it has existed since the time when the king took power.
The vicissitudes of life, the change of dynasties, many things are no longer the case, only the rootless door is passed down from generation to generation, constantly consolidating and growing in the cracks of imperial power, hiding behind the scenes, and controlling the core of power.
They frantically adhere to their own ideas and beliefs, regard others as nothing, and most of their subordinates are eunuch husbands, and there are few people in the rivers and lakes, just because the conditions for joining are extremely harsh - rootless.
His martial arts are vicious, and his subordinates have never lived, but they act secretively, and there are not many people who know them, only a strange and mysterious legend, which makes people shudder.
Wei Wuyan, the current master of the Rootless Gate, has a very mysterious identity, always wearing a golden mask, and almost no one has seen his true face.
Gong Gong changes the vocal cords, and the voice is slow and hoarse. Mysterious, gloomy, only Tianzi No. 2 knows where he is. Resourceful, changeable and capricious.
But the prediction is extremely accurate, the action is decisive, and there is really a heroic style. He was born a male, but when he was born, he did not bring joy to his family, but endless pain and sorrow, because he was born with a physical defect, that is, "heavenly gelding".
He grew up in the eyes of his neighbors and family, and was sold into the palace as a companion at a young age.
At that time, his temperament was also simple, and he was valued by an old eunuch, and he was awarded martial arts bit by bit.
Later, I learned that the old eunuch belonged to a mysterious force with a long history, which was committed to promoting its political ideals and did not hesitate to harm itself as a slave.
It's a pity that time has changed, most of the masters of the past generations are selfish, and the righteousness has gradually declined, and they have become victims of party strife and privateism.
Zhu Yuanzhang is shrewd and terrifying, uncontrollable, and only focuses on his son, so he cultivates him. The old eunuch finally succeeded in sending him to Zhu Di and pinned all his hopes on him to pass away.
Although he was born with defects, often self-pity and self-abandonment, and complained about others, he was not born evil, and he was determined to fulfill the old eunuch's instructions until that happened.
He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and there are some little palace maids in the palace who have been sent to the palace since childhood, and by chance he met the little palace maid, and since then the two have played together, and more than ten years have passed.
The relationship between them was even deeper than a pair of lovers, and later she was sent to serve Zhu Di, who was still the prince, and they saw each other less, until one day she came to him in disheveled clothes and crying, and she cried very sadly, which made him feel a little heartache inexplicably.
After the last questioning, I found out that Zhu Di, who was still the prince, raped her after getting drunk that day, and suddenly an inexplicable hatred poured into his heart.
Only then did he realize that there were people who could do whatever they wanted without any punishment, and who could plunder at will without any guilt. You can't remedy it, you can't retaliate.
She had always thought that she belonged only to herself, the only hope in her gloomy life, but now she realized that she was not. The strange thing is that she does not resent Zhu Di.
They are still best friends, but he secretly noticed that the way she looked at Zhu Di was completely different from himself.
Why? Because he is a eunuch? It didn't take long for her to become pregnant and give birth, and she was aware of Concubine Zhu Di, who fled with the baby in her arms and begged him in panic.
He was silent, covering the mother and son to escape from the internal guards. In the barren forest in the suburbs, she was grateful and knelt down to thank him, he was about to reach out to mix, but he saw the phoenix hairpin given by Zhu Di on her head, and somehow, the palm of his hand slapped on the head of the palace maid.
Is it jealousy? Is it resentment? Or is it glory and wealth? He stood in the wind and pondered the question, but there was no answer......
Wei Wuyan heard the baby's unstoppable cry, so he gently picked him up, sure enough, he still looked like his mother, he gently cared for it, coaxed it carefully, and pinched the baby's small neck with the other hand, until the baby's little face gradually turned purple, and his hands and feet could no longer kick and beat.
He buried the corpse with a shovel of soil, and tears were inexplicably sprinkled on the corpse and mixed into the dirt.
Tears are not for the burial of two corpses, but for the sake of one's own conscience buried in the soil at the same time. From then on, he was completely disillusioned with the world.
Of course, that incident made him hate the descendants of the Zhu family, but it made him worship and covet supreme power even more.
He served Zhu Di cautiously, influenced Zhu Di, used the power of the rootless gate to help him rebel, helped him become the emperor, he became a down-to-earth, became the leader of the eunuch, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and at the same time he also became the new master of the rootless gate.
But that's not enough. The inexhaustible wealth of the three lives and three lives, the status above ten thousand people under one person, the unique martial arts that have reached the top, and even the wish of the master that can be regarded as being fulfilled still cannot satisfy his emptiness.
He needs more, he needs everything! Just as he was below ten thousand people alone, he suddenly disappeared, silently, and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, leaving no clue. His plan has only just begun.
I don't know when, there are more strange eunuchs and palace people in the palace. He had only one goal - to control the imperial power.
To fulfill the last wish of the master and let his political ideals be carried forward, to do this means that countless people will die on this road, but for the sake of justice, they should have no scruples.
Everybody believed so, and everybody was taken advantage of.
He had heard the old eunuch say that there was a mysterious thing in the world that could make people break their limbs and renew them, and create something out of nothing.
This thing belonged to an organization closely linked to the imperial power, and only the emperors of the past had the right to know about it.
Only he controls the imperial power, not for the hegemony of the world, I don't know for the revival of the teacher, he has all of these, they are not rare, he just wants to be a normal man. (Pending renewals of recommended votes and monthly passes.) )
