After dinner, King Yan summoned me.

King Yan asked me if I would have a place to stay with the lord of Yong'an after leaving the palace. I told King Yan the address of Pingding Mountain. King Yan said very good, you and Yuying will leave tonight, and I will slowly send some subordinates and guards in the future. In the May competition, if you win, you will bring Yuying back, if you lose, you will never come back, and live a good life in Pingdingshan. You can help me transfer these words to Yuying.

I promised King Yan.

King Yan took out a gold medal from his bosom and said that my people know this card, and when they see the card, they see me. If you encounter difficulties and can't solve them, take this card to the city and find the rudder of the beggars, and they will help you solve it. You go back and prepare with Yuying, and I will see you off when the time comes.

I took the gold medal and said that I know the two of them, Hong Zhuowo is your person, I know, but Hong Zhuoli ...... He had tried to kill me before.

King Yan smiled and said, How could I not know that Hong Zhuoli has a connection with the Taoist sect? Don't worry, since I specially took his family to Beiping, he and the Taoist sect have drawn a clear line.

After seeing King Yan, I went to testify. I only witnessed that Yan was holding a book and could see God.

I shouted, Master Zhengyan.

Zheng Yan came back to his senses and said Sit, I'll talk to you about the opening of the mountain.

We sat down, and the maid brought tea.

Zheng Yan took a sip of tea and pressed his hand to the book: The opening of the mountain palm should start from more than two hundred years ago. At that time, the martial arts were turbulent, and the group fights between the sects often occurred, Song Xiaozong in order to make the martial arts stable, issued a decree to the major factions to choose a weak crown boy, in Lin'an to compete in the martial arts competition, the winner of the sect is the leader of the martial arts league, the leader of the martial arts league is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and is in charge of the affairs of the martial arts. In the first martial arts alliance main bidding competition, there were only four people left, two of whom were the two seniors of my White Horse Temple and Shaolin, and the other two were Wudang and the people taught by the Heavenly Master. According to the arrangement of the imperial court, the White Horse Temple vs. the Shaolin Temple, and the Wudang Party vs. the Heavenly Master Sect, competed for two places in the finals. Yuanqing, a senior monk of our temple, was finally defeated by Shaolin Dharma Vajra Fist, and the Heavenly Master was defeated by Wudang Taiji Sword. In the end, Shaolin and Wudang were compared, and Shaolin won the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance.

After returning to the White Horse Temple, Yuanqing meditated for 18 years, and finally created the opening palm, Keke Dharma Vajra Fist. Yuan Qing was ecstatic after practicing the opening palm, and went to Shaolin to find the warrior monk who participated in the competition, but learned that the warrior monk had died. Yuanqing didn't give up, so he wanted to wait for the next Shaolin monk who practiced Dharma Vajra Boxing to compete with him. How do you know that Bodhidharma Vajra Fist is extremely difficult to practice, if I remember correctly, your master Huien is the third Shaolin to learn. Yuanqing waited for 20 years, failed to do so, and died depressed. You see, Yuan Qing once wrote: "There is no one in the world who makes Dharma Vajra Fist, I have the stunt of opening the mountain palm, isn't it sad!"

Speaking of this, Zheng Yan sighed for a while.

After listening to Yan Zheng, I asked why the weak champion was chosen to compete, and couldn't the head of the team compete with each other?

Yan Zheng said that the imperial court was afraid that the heads of the court would lose face, and second, some of the heads were old at that time and it was inconvenient for them to compete. This rule has been passed down, and to this day, the contest is between twenty and thirty.

I asked again, why are there only Wudang and Shaolin being left now?

Yan Zheng said that the martial arts league leader bidding competition was compared three or four times, and in the end, only Shaolin and Wudang were left, and the other sects retreated, and finally the martial arts alliance leader bidding competition evolved into a battle of Buddhism and Taoism. When Song Ningzong was in power, he wanted Buddhism and Taoism to send one person to assist the two princes of Ningzong, Shaolin wanted to deal with the affairs of martial arts, so he asked me to enter the palace to assist in the White Horse Temple, and after Wudang and the Heavenly Master discussed, the Heavenly Master entered the palace to assist. Ning Zongli is the prince, it is with reference to the results of the martial arts league main bidding competition, the Buddha wins, and the prince assisted by the Buddhist family is the prince, and the prince assisted by the Taoist family is the prince. This rule has also been preserved to this day. By the time of Yuan Taizong, because Shaolin had repeatedly won the position of the leader of the alliance, the competition point was changed from Lin'an to Shaolin Temple, and the competition was also changed from one ring to five rings.

Only then did I understand the origin of the martial arts league master bidding competition.

Zheng Yan said that after you leave the palace and return to Pingdingshan tonight, remember to practice "go to the grid" and "go to the block". With this set of Baiyun Sword Technique, you will never lose the first level. In the other levels, even if you occasionally miss, you will still win in the end.

When I was a child, I said goodbye to King Yan and Zhengyan with the lord of Yong'an.

King Yan said to me, you call me the prince every day, and after you and the little girl leave the palace today, no one knows if there will be a goodbye day. If you leave at this time, you should call me father-in-law, right?

I knelt down to worship King Yan and said that my father-in-law was above, and I would definitely protect the lord of Yong'an.

King Yan helped me up, his face full of joy.

The lord of Yong'an was reluctant to give up King Yan, so he naturally cried bitterly again before saying goodbye.

I sat in the carriage with the lord of Yong'an, accompanied by two maids and four guards. When we left the palace, the guards showed the Yan Wang waist card, and the soldiers guarding the door let us go without asking. When we got out of Nanjing, we all changed our clothes and pretended to be a big family. I hurried during the day and stayed at the inn at night, so as to avoid the suspicion of the guards and maids, I still lived in one room with the lord of Yong'an. At night, I asked the shopkeeper for a more bedding, and when I walked with Sakura, I made a bunk on the floor, and the county lord slept in the bed.

The maid walked slowly, we walked for half a month, only walked less than half of the distance, fortunately the road was calm and did not encounter anything.

But said that this day to Taihe County, there are pigeon flying overhead, the guard is afraid that someone else will find out our whereabouts flying pigeon book, busy with a bow and arrow to shoot the pigeon down, take out the pigeon leg bamboo tube in the note, only to see that it reads "Qunhao gathered in Taihe on February 20, hope that the sword gate will go to the appointment on time, Taihe Liu." "I looked at it for a long time, and I thought to myself what kind of gate the Excalibur Gate was, why I hadn't heard of it, so I asked the guards. Most of the guards are people who have been mixed in the martial arts, and when it comes to small sects, they know more than me. One of the guards named Zhang Xuan replied that the Shenjian Gate was from nearby Linquan County, and it was only a hundred and ten miles away from Taihe.

Zhang Xuanhui said that Taihe has the Iron Fist Sect, the Tianlei Sect, and the Ghost Knife Gang, among which the Tianlei Sect has the most prestige, and the head of the Tianlei Sect is called Liu Tianhua, which should be an invitation from him.

I remembered that after practicing the Baiyun Sword Technique, I hadn't actually fought yet. My hands were a little itchy, and I asked the guards, did King Yan ever say that we had to go to Pingdingshan immediately after leaving the palace?

Zhang Xuan replied, King Yan only explained that after leaving the palace, everything was subject to the arrangement of the adults.

I said let's go see what kind of meeting it is, it's seventeen today, and there are only three days left until February 20th. There should be no time to lose.

The lord of Yong'an had never been out of the palace, and when he heard that he was going to see a party, he readily agreed.

I think that since the pigeon was intercepted by us, the Excalibur Gate should not know about this gathering, so I discussed it with the Lord of Yong'an and decided to pretend to be the people of the Excalibur Gate together.

When we arrived in Taihe City, we rented an inn. The guards went to the cloth village to find a tailor and ordered six sets of clothes for us from the Excalibur Gate.

Early the next morning, Buzhuang brought the clothes. We left the two maids in the inn, and the remaining six people pretended to be the senior brothers and sisters of the Divine Sword Sect and went out for a walk. The first time the county lord of Yong'an went shopping, he was so excited that he had to ask everything he saw. Somehow, I walked to the front of Yihong Mansion again, and I remembered that I didn't know what Yihong Mansion was doing, and when I went in to take a look, I was worried that the county lord would ask, and I didn't know how to answer when the time came. I hurriedly pulled the county lord of Yong'an and said, since we are the Divine Sword Gate, we must always have a sword, you see that the guards are already wearing swords, but I and you don't. Why don't we go to the rest of the city and find out if there is a blacksmith shop and buy two swords.

The lord of Yong'an said then I'll go and find out, although I pretend to be your little sister, I don't want to wear a sword. Over the years, I've seen too many Assassins, and nine out of ten have swords. When I see a sword, I feel palpitations, let alone wear it.

Finally, I found a blacksmith shop in the northeast corner of Taihe City, where an old blacksmith was napping on the table.

I shook the blacksmith awake and asked if there was a better sword. The blacksmith rolled his eyes and said, "What a better sword......

I was confused, I didn't know why he didn't say it, and the county lord of Yongan didn't know why, so I asked Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan muttered in the county lord's ear, the county lord nodded, stretched out two fingers, and the guards gave two hundred taels of silver tickets.

The master blacksmith took out five swords from the cabinet behind him and put them on the table, saying that each of these five swords is sharpened like clay, and you can choose one.

I couldn't make up my mind, I always felt that something was missing from each sword.

Seeing me, the county lord of Yong'an shook his head, stretched out a finger, and a guard handed over another thousand taels of silver tickets.

The blacksmith master took the silver ticket, wiped the five swords on the table to the ground, pushed open the cabinet behind him, revealed the dark grid, and took out two swords from the dark grid and put them in front of us, saying that these two are the swords of Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing, each of which is stained with the blood of the Huns, and I hid it because of excessive evil. You can pick any of them.

I took one out of my hand, only to see the cold light of the sword body flickering, and sure enough, I faintly felt a little evil.

I picked and chosen, but I still don't know which one to choose.

Seeing that I was embarrassed, the lord of Yong'an County stretched out another finger, and a guard handed over 10,000 taels of silver tickets.

When the blacksmith received the silver ticket, he burst into tears and said Overlord, I have finally waited for your buyer.

After saying that, he took out a shovel from the inner hall, lifted the stone slab where he was standing just now, and dug with a shovel.

After a while, the swordsmith dug out a long, flat box wrapped in rags. The box is antique and already a little tattered.

When the box was opened, a wide and long sword came into view.

The sword was drawn out of the sheath, and two words were engraved on the sword - overlord.

I asked the blacksmith master, this can't be used by Xiang Yu, right?

The blacksmith knelt on the ground, bowed to the overlord sword, got up and said to me, the ancestor was a general under King Xiang, and before King Xiang Wujiang killed himself, he sent the sword worn by the ancestors, and said that in the future, you will hold this sword to spread my deeds all over the country, I want to let the world know that I have the world's first BMW Wu Qi, the world's first halberd Chu Halberd, the world's first sword overlord sword, the world's first martial arts and magic skills, and the world's first beauty Yu Ji. I didn't become the Son of Heaven, just because God doesn't pity me, and time doesn't match me. After King Xiang finished speaking, he shouted: "Killing me this day is not a crime of war!" The ancestor was about to persuade him to return to Jiangdong and prepare to make a comeback, but who knew that King Xiang took advantage of the ancestor's unpreparedness, pulled out the ancestor's sword and killed himself.

I asked, this is the overlord sword that Xiang Yu gave to your ancestors that day?

The blacksmith master said that it was the ancestor who got the Overlord Sword that day, and fled across the river, and did not dare to show the Overlord Sword until he died. The Overlord Sword has been passed down from generation to generation, and after it came to my hands, I thought that I was not practicing martial arts, and the Overlord Sword would eventually be as obscure as my father when I was in the past, so I decided to sell this sword to the people in the martial arts, so that it could shine in the martial arts, and pass on the deeds of King Xiang to the world, so that everyone knew that King Xiang was defeated and not that he was incompetent. King Xiang has the talent of an emperor, but he does not have the order of an emperor.

Speaking of which, the blacksmith master was in high spirits, as if he was King Xiang and was telling us about his own past.
