Chapter 21: Transmission of Gong
The Flying Star Alliance consists of nine palaces, Qian, Dui, Gen, Li, Kan, Kun, Zhen, Xun, and Zhong.
Listen to the rain and set up the fourth floor, with wind, floating clouds, sudden thunder, and purple lightning.
In the third year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an ascended the throne soon after he was young and ignorant, and the Empress Dowager Xiao listened to the government, and the Xiao family, which was originally a Jiangmen family, rose rapidly and grew stronger, gradually encroaching on the real power of the court. Prime Minister Song Yuanzhao, as a veteran of the two dynasties and an auxiliary minister appointed by Wuzong, could not sit idly by and watch the Xiao family cover the sky with one hand, and joined forces with the civil and military officials who were also dissatisfied with their relatives to fight against the Xiao family, and gradually formed a clear pattern of two factions in the court.
The Yin clan is not prosperous, and the heirs of Wuzong are thin, and after the death of the prince, only the son of the successor Xiao can be regarded as the emperor, so although Song Yuanzhao and other ministers are dissatisfied with the Xiao family's reckless behavior, they have never thought of disrespecting Emperor Yong'an, but they have tried their best to assist the young emperor, hoping that Emperor Yong'an will be full-fledged as soon as possible and regain the power of the Yin family from the hands of the Xiao family. It's a pity that Emperor Yong'an is young after all, and the Empress Dowager Xiao specially sent someone to accompany him to play and waste his studies, and the ministers' bitter words are tired of annoying, fortunately, Song Yuanzhao has a disciple Xue Hai, who is the Tanhualang of Pingkang's twenty-four years of Jinbang Dengke, who is highly appreciated by Wuzong, and now has been promoted to a bachelor's degree, often lecturing for Emperor Yong'an, his people are young and good-looking, and he is funny and transparent, that is, he is greedy for fun and tired of learning, such as Emperor Yong'an also likes him, and under his guidance without a trace, there has been a trend of change, so Song Yuanzhao also has high hopes for this disciple, I hope to influence the growth of Emperor Yong'an through him.
Xue Hai lived up to expectations, and his guidance and influence on Emperor Yong'an became increasingly effective, which also caused Xiao Shi's jealousy, and he himself was a gentle and lonely character on the surface, and he had a grudge against Xiao Zhengde, the son of the Hou of Qing'an, who was flying and domineering, Xiao Zhengde couldn't move him on his face, so he secretly bought murder, and issued a secret list to the famous gold building at that time, and bought Xue Hai's life with a thousand taels of gold.
Maybe Xue Hai's fate should not be broken, the killer of the golden building who took over this task is the white pear known as the "rainstorm pear flower", the two of them have known each other for a long time, although there are few but not broken off over the years, Bai Pear has a rare chivalrous heart of a killer, for justice and selfishness, she made a trick to let Xue Hai leave the capital by fraud, and he did not stop sneaking into the Qing'an Hou Mansion with a knife and killed Xiao Zhengde.
This case shocked the government and the opposition, and the Xiao family put all the blame on Bai Li in order to conceal Xiao Zhengde's murder, and Throw Jinlou also issued a killing order to Bai Li to clear up the involvement. As a result, Bai Li was cornered in the court and the opposition, and Xue Hai could not return to the court, otherwise it would be difficult to escape the next killing, and the two of them became outlaws and were finally taken in by Song Yuanzhao.
It is precisely because of this that Song Yuanzhao found that the Xiao clan not only seized power in the court, but also colluded with the forces of the rivers and lakes, and secretly established the Tingyu Pavilion to work for himself, and he had to try to confront the eagle dog minions hidden in the dark by the Xiao clan, and do something that could not be done on the surface.
The Flying Star Alliance was established in the winter of the third year of Yong'an, Song Yuanzhao was in power behind the scenes, with Xue Hai, who changed his name to Mingtang, as the leader of the alliance, which was divided into nine departments, and secretly selected nine people from the martial arts to become the nine palaces, each in charge of a personnel affairs, taking care of each other and performing their duties, in order to avoid a catastrophe caused by intelligence leakage, the nine palaces did not know each other, and all cooperation matters were planned and decided by Song Yuanzhao and Xue Hai, except for their master and apprentice, no one knew the true identity of the nine palaces.
As the patriarch of the Flying Star Alliance, Bai Li should have been the Qiangong, but she thought that although she had Xiaoyong, she had no overall situation, Wen Taowu was not the dragon and phoenix among the people, and she took the position of leaving the palace to be in charge of intelligence, assassination assistance and other affairs, but she didn't expect that several colleagues from the Nine Palaces were added one after another, and the most important position of the Qiangong was still vacant.
Until the summer of the fourth year of Yong'an, Bai Li went to the East China Sea to kill the enemy's secret agents when he fell into the trap, and was rescued by Fu Yuanyu at a critical juncture. Therefore, after discussing with Xue Hai and getting Song Yuanzhao's approval, Bai Li stretched out his hand to Fu Yuanyu on behalf of the Flying Star Alliance, filling the position of the Qiangong that had been vacant until now.
However, what they didn't know was that before Fu Yuanyu met Bai Li, he was already a member of the Listening Rain Pavilion.
When he was young, Fu Yuanyu was ambitious, he believed that to change the chaos of the rivers and lakes can not only rely on the power of the rivers and lakes, no matter how reckless he is, he will eventually be a horseman, whether he is a white hero or an underworld devil, he can only maintain the order of the rivers and lakes for a while throughout his life, only those who really hold the power of the family and the country can dig out the evil roots from the rotten soil, and at that time, even if he is the devil of the rivers and lakes, he is also a martial arts Beidou, and the people of the time can no longer comment on his right and wrong.
He has no loyalty to the monarch, and he disdains the weak and incompetent Emperor Yong'an, so compared to Song Yuanzhao, the Xiao family headed by the Empress Dowager Xiao is the object that Fu Yuanyu wants to cooperate.
Therefore, Fu Yuanyu gave up the jade flawless who had worked for him for half his life, and stepped on her sincerity and spine into the whirlpool of power desire.
ββ¦β¦ After the establishment of the Flying Star Alliance, he repeatedly thwarted the actions of the Tingyu Pavilion several times, even if the Tingyu Pavilion joined forces with the Golden Tower, he could not grasp any useful clues, which made the pavilion master Xiao Shengfeng very angry, and even alarmed his cousin Empress Dowager Xiao. β
Under the moonlight, Fu Yuanyu looked at Xue Hongbi's blood-fading face, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said, "I know that this is a unique opportunity to join the Flying Star Alliance to explore the truth and reality, and cooperate with the outside of the Listening Rain Pavilion...... Xiao Shengfeng agreed, and I became one of the four heavenly kings whose status was second only to him, in charge of the affairs of the Thunder Tower, and also let the power of the Heaven Replenishing Sect get the support of the Xiao family, and further expand in the rivers and lakes, with a hidden trend of unifying the martial arts. β
Xue Hongbi retreated step by step, her back against a big tree, and there was no way to retreat.
He bit his lip so hard that he almost bit out the blood, and only after a while did he squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "You lied to my father, you ...... You are listening to the meticulous work of the Rain Pavilion, and you are their lackey! β
These words were ugly, but there was no anger on Fu Yuanyu's face, he just smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes, so I deserve to fall into this step." β
How can it last long with the tiger?
Xiao does have a huge amount of power, can help Fu Yuanyu complete his lifelong wish, but that wish and Xiao family's interests do not match, in the short term can cooperate, in the long run there will be conflicts, Fu Yuanyu's purpose is destined to be impossible to achieve, then he will be with Xiao Shi friends and enemies, in the past, with the help of Xiao Shi to stand high, after losing power, how bad he will fall, even if he later betrayed Tingyu Pavilion and sincerely threw himself into the Flying Star Alliance, but the big mistake has been made, this abandonment of the dark and the light is only a way to go back, after all, there is no way back.
Fu Yuanyu is to blame for his life, no wonder he is now betraying his relatives.
After laughing, Fu Yuanyu stopped talking, and Xue Hongbi didn't want to stay anymore.
It was the middle of the night, and there was no light in the world except for the cold star and cold moon on this side, and he didn't know where he could go, but he knew that if he didn't leave, he would not be able to control it and ask for his life from this old demon.
However, before Xue Hongbi could take a few steps, Fu Yuanyu flashed in front of him and asked, "Where are you going?" β
"It's not about you!" Xue Hongbi said in a hoarse voice, "Good dogs don't get in the way!" β
Fu Yuanyu turned a deaf ear to his words, raised his hand to grab his shoulder, Xue Hongbi subconsciously sank his shoulders to the side, but he didn't expect that this time it was a false shake, but he called the empty door in front of him, Shenque, Zhongguan, Qihai, and Guan Yuan were pointed out in four big points, and the four internal breaths penetrated the body, Xue Hongbi had a mouthful of blood gushing up to his throat before he could spit it out, and his body was forcibly twisted over, and the four big points of Lingtai, Baihui, Body Pillar, and Life Gate were also heavily lit, and the blood that surged up was swallowed back in an instant, choking him to cough.
"You're going toβahhhhhh
The angry shout turned into a scream as soon as he came out, Xue Hongbi only felt that there was a heart-rending pain in front of and behind him at the same time, as if two knives, one cold and one hot, pierced the body fiercely, piercing the flesh and penetrating the bone marrow, and the pain made the soul fly out of the sky, and he just screamed twice, and the two knives turned into yin and yang, and the two true qi melted into his eight veins, frozen in the bone marrow, boiling in the blood.
Ice and fire, between life and death.
Xue Hongbi choked in his throat with a third scream, and after Fu Yuanyu withdrew his hand, he immediately fell to the ground and rolled and convulsed, only to feel that the two true qi tore his whole person in half, half of it was cut by the ice blade, and half of it was scorched and burned by the coals, but he was in pain and sober so much that he couldn't even fall into a coma, so he could only resist such a polar torture that was worse than death.
"During the day, you should hear what Lu Wugui said...... Zhou Jiangyun took half of the cheats of "Intercepting the Sky" as a reward, and ordered the rivers and lakes to buy my life. Fu Yuanyu looked at him condescendingly, and the corners of his lips actually hooked up a heartfelt smile, ""Heaven Interception Gong" is the supreme exercise passed down from generation to generation by my Heaven Sect, today my father-in-law will open up the second pulse of Ren Du for you with the strength of Heaven Interception, and make an exception to pass this exercise to you, this is a blessing that many Jianghu people can't cultivate in three lives, you have to keep it in your heart and cherish it." β
Xue Hongbi was so painful that he didn't even have the strength to roll, he lay on the muddy ground, his bloody lips moving and closing, like a dying fish.
Fu Yuanyu refused to let him go, forcibly pulled him up, sat cross-legged on his knees, facing north and facing south, his palm flipped over and pressed the Lingtai acupoint above his head, and the strong and domineering true qi penetrated through the body, mobilizing the qi and blood in Xue Hongbi's body to rush straight up, causing the seven points to be extremely painful, and the limbs and bones were also peeled and peeled apart, like a knife forcibly scraping and removing dirt inside, and the knife and axe cut his whole person from head to toe.
""Intercepting the Heavenly Gong" cultivates both inside and outside, yin and yang go hand in hand, there are a total of ten realms, the higher you go, the more the internal force is endless, but if you have one breath left, you can be invincible......" Fu Yuanyu gathered his qi in his hand, and let the young man die and live under his palm, and said with an expressionless face, "The formula is dictated, keep it in mind, pay attention to it - the avenue is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, and the one who escapes is not complete, and the one who changes is not thoughtful." The Tao of all beings, the root of Qi, through the changes of yin and yang, should respond to the sense of heaven and earth, hold the original mind and mind, put it to the place of death and then be born......"
Xue Hongbi is hot on the outside and cold on the inside at the moment, exhaling like spitting fire, inhaling like ice, he didn't want to listen to this old demon, but the magic sound seems to be able to penetrate his ears and heart, and the two yin and yang true qi that was forcibly injected into his body also obeyed Fu Yuanyu's wishes, like an arm like a finger running between his meridians, he couldn't even move a finger, the only thing he could do was to mobilize his meager internal force to follow these two true qi in his body for a long time, relieving the torture of ice and fire that was worse than death.
ββ¦β¦ The spiritual platform faces the sky, the spring is grounded, the sun and the moon are carried on the top, and the underworld is connected to the underworld. The refining body is the furnace ding, the five organs are the five elements, the dantian qi sea is divided into yin and yang, the clear yang rises to the heart meridian, and the heavy turbidity is condensed into the Taiyin ......"
ββ¦β¦β
This brutal teaching lasted until the end of the day.
When Fu Yuanyu withdrew his hand, Xue Hongbi seemed to have the last bone removed, and he fainted to the ground without even making a wail, his fingers spasmed a few times in the muddy water, and finally failed to catch anything.
However, his life is better than death, and Fu Yuanyu has not seen much better.
Although he is teaching the Fa but not passing on the exercises, in order to penetrate the body for Xue Hongbi in the shortest possible time, Fu Yuanyu's true qi is extremely depleted, and he does not dare to relax half of his spirit, but he is afraid that if he does not breathe, he will personally strangle this life.
Therefore, after Xue Hongbi fell, Fu Yuanyu staggered back a few steps, holding on to a tree trunk with only one hand to stabilize his body, a face was whiter and ugly than a dead man, he stood in place for a long time before sinking the external and internal breath into the dantian, first looked at the wound in the palm of the hand that still did not stop bleeding and healed, the smile on the corner of his mouth was gone, and he was as indifferent as ice.
After relieving his breath, Fu Yuanyu lifted Xue Hongbi with one hand, carried him on a bamboo pole, and floated down the road along the river, and soon saw a little light lit up in the night.
Yu Wufang stood under the metasequoia tree wearing a cloak, the lantern in his hand swaying slightly in the wind, and the lamp was clearly extinguished.
Fu Yuanyu kicked the bamboo pole away, took Xue Hongbi to the shore, and asked casually, "Can't you sleep?" β
"It's just not reassured." Yu Wufang took Xue Hongbi from his hand, probed the pulse first, and then frowned, "You are too heavy on him." β
Fu Yuanyu took the lantern for her and said, "This kid has hard bones, and he can't do it if he doesn't have heavy hands." β
"He has hard bones but a soft heart, and you don't have to push him in this way." Yu Wufang wiped the blood stains on Xue Hongbi's face with his sleeve, "You brought him all the way here, and he is also half of his relatives, he actually wants to be close to you, I don't believe you can't see it, but you want to let him know again and again that you are a bastard who is innocent, and it is not worth giving any feelings, why bother?" You know, he's different from Zhou Jiangyun. β
Fu Yuanyu was silent for a while this time, and said with a wry smile: "I know, so I can't let him cry for me." β
Since the deadline is approaching, we have to go neatly, why bother to make it difficult for the living?
Yu looked at him flawlessly, and only after a while did he say: "I asked to no avail, the poison on your body is not incurable, he has found a few medicinal herbs that were missing at the beginning, and now he is sixty percent sure......"
"I know." Fu Yuanyu interrupted her, showing a rare gentle and helpless smile, "But I owe you too much, and I have nothing to repay except for this life." β
Yu Wufang's breath stagnated, and then she showed a sharp and aggressive sneer: "Do you think you can pay it off with this rotten life?" β
"If you can't pay it back, I will pay you back as a cow and a horse in the next life." Fu Yuanyu looked at her gradually red eyes, and sighed softly, "Don't cry, you are a female bodhisattva who descended to the world, what are you crying for me, a mortal with a wolf heart and a dog's lungs?" Flawless, I owe you nothing, and you are not wrong. β
Yu Wufang closed his eyes and said, "No, if I had been more vigilant back then......"
"There are no ifs." Fu Yuanyu shook his head and said, "Bai Li said, you have been doing well, no one will blame you for not doing enough, the only thing you did wrong was to love me." β
ββ¦β¦β
"There is a saying that I owe you eighteen years, and I can finally give it to you today." Fu Yuanyu restrained his smile and said word by word, "I'm sorry, it's me who bears you half your life, and there is nothing to pay for in this life, so you can only offset it with your life and live in the next life...... Don't meet me again. β
You take the road of the world, I cross the bridge, even if the reincarnation is separated from the world, the blue and yellow springs do not meet.
Eighteen years ago, Yu Wufang cut off one of his hands and betrayed the Heavenly Sect, she cut off the grievances, but she never cut off the hatred.
Now, Fu Yuanyu turned into a cold front with a few words, completely breaking off their love and hate for half of their lives, and also breaking off her last thoughts.
He didn't love her until he died, and she didn't have to remember him for the rest of her life.
Yu Wufang looked at him for a long time, and tears finally burst out of his eyes, only one drop, which fell into the placket and disappeared.
"I took it." She said softly, "Fu Yuanyu, there is a complete gap between you and me. β
Fu Yuanyu smiled slightly: "Then, the next thing will trouble you, I will stay and take care of ...... during this time"
"I don't need you." Yu Wufang shook his head, "I'm going to send her to Hanshan to reunite with her family, and I won't come back in the future." β
Fu Yuanyu was stunned: "What are you going to do?" β
"I've been hiding here for twelve years, and I should always do something before I die of old age, and it has nothing to do with you." Yu Wufang glanced at him, the corners of his eyes were windy, and he vaguely had the brilliance of the year, "It's you, since you can't rest assured, why don't you send her back to Hanshan in person?" In the past twelve years, you want to see Bu Hanying but you don't dare to see it, now that time is running out, do you really want to wait for death to come? β
ββ¦β¦ Not necessarily. The corners of Fu Yuanyu's lips rose, "I only saw him for the last time, it's enough." β
Hearing this, a stunned look flashed in Yu Wufang's eyes, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "So, where do you want to meet him?" β
"I remember...... On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Feixian Tower in Jiangcheng, we met there. Fu Yuanyu's smile deepened, "This life backfires, at least this matter has to have a beginning and an end." β
