The rivers and lakes of Beiliang have never been so lively, at the beginning of Xuanyuan Qingfeng's fueling, there were already many martial arts heroes full of enthusiasm to the border pass north, and at this time, Wudang Mountain came out of the news that a new Buddhist debate was going to be held, which gave many people who didn't want to be involved in the Liang Mang War have a good step, let's not go to the troubled waters, but a little detour to the Wudang Mountain to see the excitement, it will not annoy you Liyang Imperial Court, right? Everyone knows that the scenery of the eighty-one peaks towards the top is extremely spectacular, not to mention that Lu Zu and the immortal Hong Xixiang who rode the crane down to the south of the Yangtze River are all cultivating here, and it is good to go to get rid of the immortal qi. For a time, there were many outsiders who poured into the two states of Youliang like a carp crossing the river, and the Ichthyosaurus Gang, as the head snake of the Beiliang land, under the personal control of the gang leader Liu Nirong, not only took the initiative to lead the way for friends in the rivers and lakes, and bear the expenses of clothing, food, housing and transportation, but also if someone was afraid that walking with others was not cool enough, then as long as he relied on the road guide to hang a name in the rudder of the Fish Dragon Gang in each county, he could get a heavy car and horse fee, as for whether he really went to Wudang Mountain, whether he took it to Qinglou to buy drunk or halfway to big fish and meat, the wealthy Fish and Dragon Gang would not really care, which invisibly also made the status of the Fish and Dragon Gang in the Central Plains rivers and lakes improve a lotOtherwise, you think you are the king of Beiliang in Yushu Linfeng, I heard that his old man was able to fall in love at first sight with just one face before practicing martial arts, and he was able to make no less than ten women who sought revenge from Qingliang Mountain in the early years fall in love at first sight, and since then he has been willing to be hidden by the golden house in the Wutong courtyard of the palace...... The great martial arts master who can be counted on one hand, the peach blossom sword god Deng Tai Tai Shenlong sees the head and the tail, the big official Cao Changqing is not young after all, and Tuoba Bodhisattva is a naturally unpleasant northern barbarian, so Xu Fengnian, who is in his prime and has continuous feats, has become the most interesting conversation among the people of Liyang Jianghu after tea and dinner. Many new martial arts heroes and green forest heroes who went to Beiliang are even more eye-opening, the big and small Qinglou is an oiran and they all say that they have warmed the quilt for Xu Fengnian, and a fortune teller on the side of the road in Liangzhou dares to say that he has measured the words and divination for our prince back then, and the wine shop teahouse has also shouted that the king of Beiliang is full of praise for his own signature goods, especially those shops that sell rouge gouache, and they swear that Xu Fengnian has bought things for their confidantes there, and the most sad thing for the young man and the boy is that this is obviously the shopkeeper's deceptive nonsense, but the accompanying heroines and fairies are like ghosts, I bought a lot of bottles and cans in those shops, and the key is that the real wrongdoers who spend money like flowing water are the big men who protect the flowers.

At the time of the hustle and bustle of the Beiliang rivers and lakes, it happened to meet the peak of the custom of rolling willows in Beiliang, and the children of the rich families of Beiliang would ride horses and shoot in the suburbs or martial arts arenas, hang any thing on the branches, and shoot down the bow, which is called rolling willows. When those foreign Jianghu men saw that many Beiliang women were also familiar with bows and horses, they were inevitably a little frightened, they had only heard that the people of Beiliang were fierce, and now they were sure that what they said was true. And most of these Beiliang rolling willow men and women tied white hemp silk on their arms, and when they asked, they learned that it was the people of Beiliang who had to tie hemp to commemorate their deceased relatives within a month after taking off their mourning clothes, which was somewhat similar to the Central Plains family's arm tie in the middle of summer with colorful silk wisps in order to ward off ghosts and diseases. At the same time, this also makes people feel shocked, could it be that Beiliang really killed so many people in the battle at Hutou City and Hulukou in Youzhou at the border pass of Liangzhou? Why did he only hear in his hometown in the Central Plains that the Beiliang Border Army was facing the pressure of Beimang's million-strong army, and either retreated without a fight, or was about to collapse at the first touch? After entering Beiliang, I saw with my own eyes, except for the children of Beiliang who rode and shot willows, people were ashamed of themselves, and those city patrol horses drawn from the garrison in Beiliang were awe-inspiring, these domestic cavalry troops who are said to be far inferior in combat power to the border pass iron cavalry, if they really go out to fight with the so-called elite soldiers and horses in everyone's hometown, it is not like the top master of the first-grade realm crushing the second-grade little grandmaster?

When most of the people from other places began to climb the mountain or approached Wudang, they heard two very legendary new news, Xu Fengnian, the king of Beiliang, led Youzhou ten thousand horsemen to fight outside Hulukou last time, and this time he was alone outside Hutou City, killing Dong Zhuo, the king of Beimang and Nanyuan, retreated again and again. And the notorious Northern Liang capital to protect Chu Lushan, personally led 8,000 cavalry troops from Huaiyang Pass to the northeast border of Liuzhou, breaking 30,000 Dong private troops. Everyone hates the big villain, but if this villain is his own family, in fact, it can make people feel at ease when they think about it. Chu Lushan, the big devil who stopped crying, is the most suitable to be placed in the Beiliang border pass, which will not harm the Central Plains, but also make the Northern Mang barbarians feel bad. From this point of view, Xu Fengnian became the king of Beiliang, not to mention other merits, just being able to subdue Chu Fat and let him stay honestly outside Liangzhou Pass is already a great merit.

Xu Fengnian for this Buddhist and Taoist dispute that should have been held in Longhu Mountain Demon Slaying Platform two years ago, after seeing Chu Lushan and the iron-blooded cavalry army with heavy casualties, he specially rushed from Huaiyang Pass to this cool and secluded junction, of course, he did not come to Wudang Mountain to show off, but the water room spy reported that there were two groups of people who wanted to come here to join in the fun, one was the broken spear Deng Mao and Yelu Dongbed, who followed Luoyang into Liyang, and they seemed to no longer deliberately hide their whereabouts after entering Youzhou. The other party is even more eccentric, it is a couple who can be called the only one in the world, and Xu Fengnian attaches more importance to it than the two people in Huyan Daguan, because that man is the white-clothed monk Li Dangxin, the nominal presiding abbot of the Liangzen Temple that is now closed to the mountain gate, and the father of a little girl who has long been determined to be a heroine.

The arrival of the white-clothed monk made the debate of Buddhism and Taoism of Little Lotus Peak justified, otherwise because Wudang taught Li Yuaxe was not on the mountain, the Taoist who debated with the Buddhists was a Taoist priest who had not even heard the name of many people in Beiliang, and was a disciple of Song Zhiming, and it was rumored that this person had just built a meditation and practiced in Xiaozhu Peak, Wudang Eighty-one Peak, not all peaks and peaks have Taoist Taoist temples, and most of the peaks were raised in the deep boudoir people did not know" , Wudang Mountain now has a total of 12 peaks, among which the large and small lotus peaks are the most famous, and the jade pillar peak, which is known as the jade pillar in the world, is also famous, so it can be seen that the Taoist priest named Han Gui can be regarded as enough to be in charge alone, and there should still be some Taoism, plus Qingshan Guan funded the construction from Qingliang Mountain to the later Beiliang King to give a collection of classics, and the status of Xiaozhu Peak naturally rose. Wudang Mountain, as one of the Taoist ancestral courts that have been separated from Longhu Mountain for hundreds of years, the immortals with the highest rank, Wang Chonglou died at the earliest, and Hong Xixiang, who cultivated as Tongxuan, wanted to reincarnate by himself for some reason, and Wang Xiaoping, a sword idiot, blocked the way Wang Xianzhi, died in a heroic battle on the bank of the Guangling River, and Song Zhiming, who lived more than two Jiazi, also died, and now there is only Chen Xuan, the real person in charge of the law, and Yu Xingrui, who laughed at himself for "not cultivating immortals, but only cultivating strength", the latter was also the person who brought Li Yuaxe from the East China Sea to Wudang with his discernment. With Li Yuaxe and Han Gui's generation of Wudang Taoists, there are about more than 20 people, and the next four generations of Qingning Lingzhen Taoists, there are more, especially the Lingzi generation and Zhenzi generation, different from the rivers of Longhu Mountain, the incense of Wudang Mountain, which has been silent for a hundred years, is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are now more than 600 Taoist priests of Zhenzi generation, which is still the premise that Wudang Mountain is unwilling to overtake disciples.

Go up the mountain to burn incense, usually whether it is the relatively rich people of Lingzhou or the pilgrims of the two states of Jihe, they are all mountaineering from the most beautiful scenery and the best way to go to the South Shinto, Xu Fengnian chose the North Shinto Road to go up the mountain, never thought that he still underestimated the huge appeal of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, except for the seven or eight hundred Jianghu people, most of the rich people in the three states of Beiliang came by car and horseback, and even Huainan Road and Jiangnan Road came to a lot of people, burning incense and watching the battle. The mountain road of Wudang North Shendao is not wide, and it is not coincidental that it has rained lightly from the early morning today, and the rainy weather will not block the road, but the muddy road will make people suffer, coupled with the continuous trampling of the people who go forward, the small twenty miles of rugged mountain roads are more tiring than walking on the fifty-mile official road post road.

Xu Fengnian did not follow him when he went to Wudang Mountain this time, in order to hurry, he didn't even ride a horse, but chose a secluded path to fly all the way like a bird, so he looked like a bird, wearing a green shirt, and two knives were hung on his left and right waists, one was a river crossing pawn who "grabbed people's love" from Jiang Axe Ding's hand, and an ordinary standard cool knife. At noon, Xu Fengnian took a break in a simple restaurant on the entrance of the North Shinto Road, and the name of the restaurant is also interesting, called "Village Shop", probably to remind the pilgrims who came from afar that there is no such shop after this village. The restaurant has long been overcrowded, full of tourists who hope to rush to the mountain in the morning to climb the main peak of Wudang, Xu Fengnian can only sit on the small bamboo bench under the eaves with more than ten people to hide from the rain, want to eat a hot meal and drink a sip of hot wine has to wait in line obediently, Xu Fengnian asked for a pot of tea, the tea is under the banner of Wudang "Dao Tea", a pot of tea the size of a palm dares to open his mouth, asking for twenty-five yuan! Xu Fengnian holds a pot in one hand and a cup in the other, and drinks it all in a few sips, and then adds water with the restaurant guys, and has to pay five yuan. Obviously, not only Xu Fengnian felt that he was not lightly slaughtered, but the pilgrims around him also complained a lot, and several young and grumpy people even had a bad feeling for Wudang, saying that Ye Zhiqiu, the mountain is like this, and the Wudang Taoist priests on the mountain are also full of copper smell. Listening to their accents, they are all foreigners, some of the local pilgrims in Beiliang who often go to the mountain to burn incense are frowning, and an old man smiled and persuaded a few words, saying that even the incense and candles on the mountain are given by Wudang, and they do not charge a penny from the pilgrims, of course, how much incense money is willing to give after that, whether it is a few pennies or a few taels, it is nothing more than doing what you can. The old man also said that he had come here to burn incense three or four times a year since he was young, and he really hadn't met a Wudang Taoist who took the initiative to ask him for money.

The old man opened his mouth, many outsiders who were curious about Wudang Mountain were interested, and some of them asked the old man if he had seen Wudang Zhangjiao Li Yuaxe, and the old man laughed and said: "I've seen it, why haven't I seen it, not only Li Zhangjiao, from the old Wang Zhangjiao who broke the river with one finger to the Hong Zhangjiao who rode a crane down the south of the Yangtze River, I have seen it all in this old man, especially Hong Zhangjiao, who also gave me a sign back then." This is not my boasting of Haikou, in fact, there are more pilgrims who have seen these people, you go up the mountain today, you may also meet Chen Zhenren or Yu Zhenren to unsign for you, but unfortunately I heard that Li Zhangjiao went down the mountain to travel far away. ”

"So it's true that your King of Beiliang used to practice martial arts in Wudang Mountain back then?"

"Of course, Lao Er, I personally asked two Qingzi real people who have been familiar with them for many years, and it is absolutely true. It is said that our prince has had a long relationship with the Hong Zhangjiao, practicing martial arts and cultivating the Tao on the mountain, and the relationship is really first-class. ”

A young lady from other places asked shyly: "Uncle, is your King of Beiliang really as suave as rumored by the outside world?"

"How can this be fake?!The son of the general and the princess, his appearance is not good! Haha, this little girl, you don't have to be ashamed, we Beiliang here want to marry the princess's woman, there are a lot of them. ”

When the old man said this, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Xu Fengnian, who was sitting not far away drinking tea, and joked with the little lady: "Look, our prince is as handsome as this son." ”

Xu Fengnian turned his head and smiled helplessly.

The young woman's face flushed.

Xu Fengnian took a sip of tea and looked into the distance gently. Just like the Taoist temple where Han Gui of Xiaozhufeng is located, the view of Qingshan, the view of Qingshan, wherever a person is, his mood will be different. Being on the battlefield, with a lot of bones, I can't tolerate you not to be sad. And if you are in the mountains and forests, you will inevitably be able to give birth to a bit of ambition. Having personally experienced the offensive and defensive battle of Hutou City, and then going to meet Chu Lushan and the 3,000 cavalry army who returned from the border of Liuzhou, as well as the 5,000 corpses, Xu Fengnian even though he was far away from Huaiyang Pass in Hutou City, completely away from the sound of war drums and horses' hooves, but there always seemed to be the sound of fighting in his ears. The more he was in a place of peace and tranquility, the more difficult it was for Xu Fengnian to let go, and there was like a picture in his mind, Beiliang had a horse's head facing north, the spearhead facing north, and the blade facing north! 300,000 border soldiers, for the sake of this barren land behind them, did not hesitate to die to block Beimang's iron hooves.

When Liu Jinu was separated, he said that there was no need to feel guilty, there were more than 60,000 people in Hutou City, not fighting for you Xu Fengnian, but dying for Beiliang. It's just that you, Xu Fengnian, deserve our lives with confidence, let us know that we deserved to die!

But can Xu Fengnian really not feel guilty?

Can't do it.

Everyone under the eaves saw two men walking in the distance, one was stocky and the other was short, because they were not eye-catching, they just glanced at it and didn't care. Xu Fengnian got up slowly, called out to the man to return the teapot and teacup, and then stood on the edge of the steps, just standing on the boundary between rain and no rain overhead. When he made this seemingly unintentional move, the two distant visitors also slowed down, but for the pilgrims waiting to eat under the eaves of the restaurant, this kind of peak confrontation that does not enter the realm and does not understand its subtlety is not perceptible in the slightest.

Behind Xu Fengnian, the tea drinkers, the chattering chatter, and the nourishing spirits, unaware of the turbulent waves surging in, hitting the city like a tide.

Although the two slowed down, they still walked towards the restaurant, seemingly walking like ordinary people, in fact, one of them did not touch the ground at all, and did not touch the slightest bit of mud, and the younger one was like a thousand pounds of weight, stepping on it, and even the entire upper of the shoe did not enter the yellow mud.

Seeing that they had no intention of stopping, Xu Fengnian squinted his eyes, pressed his right hand on the hilt of the river crosser, and made a gesture to raise his foot and step out of the steps.

The middle-aged man was the first to stop, and the young man next to him wanted to continue walking, but was suddenly stopped by his companion reaching out.

The young man looked indignant, stared at the guy, and muttered in a slightly lame and jerky Central Plains official dialect: "When I fought with Wang Laowei and Tuoba Bodhisattva, it was great?"

Then the young man with a stubborn look sighed, "Yes, it's quite remarkable." ”

He opened his throat and shouted, "Hey, you know we're not here to fight, and you have such hospitality?"

Xu Fengnian looked at this young man, not to mention the tall man in the north, who is also short among the men south of the Guangling River in Liyang, his real identity is Yelu Dongbed, the noble man of Beimang Tianhuang, simply put, if the puppet prince dies one day, then this guy, like Murong Longshui, is the most promising member of the royal family to become the next emperor of Beimang. At the beginning, because of Jia Jiajia, Xu Fengnian played a game of cat and mouse with Murong Longshui and the cobweb leader Lao Moth, and she was a very interesting girl. Yelu Dongbed swaggered and followed Luoyang to Zhulu Mountain for some reason, as for Deng Mao, the broken spear whose ranking was similar to Hong Jingyan's, it should be the personal servant of the nephew of the first emperor of Beimang. To be precise, this is the second time Xu Fengnian and Yelu Dong Bed have met, that is, Gao Shulu woke up four hundred years after "closing the mountain", Xu Fengnian went out of the body and met with heaven and man, and Yelu Dong Bed, who was running errands with Luoyang at that time, and Xu Fengnian barely had a relationship.

Xu Fengnian smiled, retracted his steps, and sat back on the small stool, Deng Mao and Yelu Dong were able to step up the steps and come to the eaves, not that Deng Mao didn't have this ability, but since he didn't have the heart to fight to the death, Deng Mao was not the kind of person who had nothing to do. As for Yelu East Bed, facing the current Xu Fengnian, the latter wants him to not be able to get close to the restaurant even a step, so he, a child of the Beimang royal family, really doesn't have this ability. The sole of Yeludong's bed rubbed against the corner of the steps, scraping off a thick layer of soil, and then sat next to Xu Fengnian, Deng Mao did not sit down, because the restaurant could only free up a spare stool.

Yelu Dong lowered his voice and asked, "Did you really fight with Tuoba Bodhisattva? What was the result? I want to hear the truth." ”

Xu Fengnian said to this self-cooked guy: "Is Xu Ying okay?"

Yelu Dong was stunned, "Xu Ying, who is it?"

Xu Fengnian finally smiled a little, and said softly: "It's the woman around Luoyang who likes to wear red robes." ”

Yelu Dong bed oh, "She, that's it, people used to be ghosts and ghosts, and then they lost their minds and cut themselves, but now they look like ordinary women, but it's okay She still likes to wander around there by herself, the big red robe turns and turns, and she can turn small for half an hour in one breath, anyway, I am dazzled and tired." ”

Xu Fengnian did not speak.

Yelu Dong was startled and said, "What, you are so good?!"

Xu Fengnian didn't turn his head to look at this open-mouthed young man, but asked indifferently, "You're not afraid of dying here?"

Jerodon rolled his eyes.

The next moment, Yelu Dong didn't dare to breathe.

Everyone under the eaves didn't realize that at that moment, the handsome boy with a double knife shook his small stool, and the middle-aged man with a mediocre appearance had already left the eaves and drenched himself in the rain and then returned to stand under the eaves, but it was strange that the man with his back to the restaurant was facing them.

Xu Feng said in a young voice: "There is no next time." ”

Yelu Dong said with a wry smile: "I only heard that you are quite funny before, not like a person who can't make jokes." It seems that as long as this person becomes a master, the shelf will be bigger. ”

Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "If you change your identity one day, you will know the reason." ”

Yelu Dong didn't know if he really understood or pretended to understand, "Understood." ”

Xu Fengnian beckoned to ask the shop guy for a pot of tea and three cups, the shrewd guy glanced at the short man who was squatting in the pit and didn't, and didn't agree with a straight face, saying that he had to buy two pots of tea, but he could borrow him a small bench, Xu Fengnian smiled and agreed, and directly pinched out a broken silver from the money bag, about sixty yuan, not to mention that the world has always been silver and copper, and the guy grinned, this buddy, go to the road! Later, Deng Mao finally had a chance to sit down, if this truth was spread to the rivers and lakes, the second child of this shop would probably be regarded as the number one bullish man in the world, bargaining with Xu Fengnian, the king of Beiliang, and white-eyed Yelu Dong's bed, and rewarding Deng Mao with a stool! Xu Fengnian poured a cup of tea for each of the Beimang men on the left and right, and asked, "Is there something wrong with coming to Beiliang?"

Yelu Dong's bed did not sell Guanzi, "Luoyang let me sue you, except for Cao Changqing and the Yan Shenggong who helped Emperor Liyang say that Xiang did not negotiate, what is the three-year contract." ”

Yelu Dong took a sip of bland tea, and continued: "Then I want to see you, and I want to know if it is possible for you and me to do something together. ”

Xu Fengnian was a little distracted, looked at the light rain curtain outside the eaves, took a deep breath and said calmly: "Let's talk about it." ”

Yelu Dong bed laughed at himself: "In my family, relatives who are about the same age as me have died a lot over the years, of course, most of them have the same surname as me, and the ...... Well, it's my aunt's surname, and most of them are women, just like that fat girl Murong Longshui. So to be honest, I still have a chance, even if it's not big, but I have it. The reason why I sneaked out, I can't hide it, is to avoid the chess and sword Lefu who made a comeback, no way, the old man was actually driven to your Liyang by my grandfather, he killed a horse pistol this time, of course, it won't be as simple as not giving me a good look, the old guy values my brother more, the reason, the caretaker is looking for a dog, but not a wolf cub. I know that the current situation of cold and reckless confrontation is the idea of two people in the final analysis, the old guy and Dong Fatzi, not everyone thinks so. ”

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "It's okay to show some sincerity." ”

Yelu Dong snorted, his voice was softer, and he said slowly: "The most unfortunate thing I know is that among the eight festival commanders and the twelve generals, six are resolutely opposed, and Helian Wuwei is a reckless war that can be fought or not, it is not good to say that they are grass on the wall, anyway, they just follow the crowd." Of course, my parents died at a young age, but my grandfather is still alive, although he is not a great general holding a festival order, but his old man is worth a great general and a festival order, right?"

Xu Fengnian was familiar with the inside story of the Beimang Royal Court, shook his head and said, "It's not all. ”

Yelu Dongbed turned his head to stare at the side face of the young vassal king, and asked, "Is this deal done?"

Xu Fengnian asked rhetorically: "In addition to asking me Beiliang to defeat Dong Zhuo and Taiping Ling's momentum, what else do you need to do?"

Yelu Dong said with a stupid smile on his face: "First of all, Tuoba Bodhisattva has to be killed by you." Secondly, you also have to try to keep the main force of Hong Jingyan's Rouran Iron Cavalry on the battlefield. ”

Xu Fengnian sneered: "You should really go to the battlefield to see, you won't be so light and child's play." ”

Yelu Dongbed smiled: "If it were someone else, I wouldn't mention this at all, but you, you can." That's why I'm sitting here today, drinking a pot of twenty cents...... Good tea. ”

Xu Fengnian asked, "You want to be the emperor so much?"

Yelu Dong bed asked rhetorically, "You don't want to?"

Xu Fengnian laughed.

Yelu Dong bed quietly waited for the following.

Xu Fengnian finally just said: "I can only promise you to take one step at a time." ”

Yelu Dong slapped his thigh, "That's enough!"

Yelu Dong put the teacup at his feet, and said softly when he bent down and got up: "If you and I can both go that far, I can also promise you one thing, half of the Southern Dynasty, just when I Yelu Dong bed returned the tea money to you." When both sides of Liang Mang are done, and if you still have the heart to go south to the Central Plains in the future, I can even lend you the entire eastern front for three years, and help you suppress the two Liao border armies in Liyang for three years. ”

Xu Fengnian watched the two go away.

People walk tea cool.

After Yelu Dong Bed and Deng Mao walked more than ten miles, Ye Lu Dong Bed asked, "Do you say he will agree?"

Deng Mao said expressionlessly: "Why don't you agree, except for Hong Jingyan's Rouran Iron Horse, the rest is what he Xu Fengnian wants to do and should do." As long as Dong Zhuo and Taiping Ling still join forces to take charge of the government, Liang Mang is a dead end, and his Xu Fengnian's chances of winning in Beiliang are too small. ”

Yelu Dong crossed his hands and hugged the back of his head, and said with emotion: "Yes, it seems that he can only accompany me to gamble, and he can only help me." Instead of fighting to the end with my million-strong army without any chance of winning, it is better to do your best to make Dong Zhuo and Taiping Ling stink, at least it will be relatively easy, as long as these two guys are forced to die and then decline, there is no need to exhaust them, it is equivalent to winning a chance for me, and when the time comes, it will depend on my ability and qi in Yelu Dong's bed. ”

Deng Mao hesitated for a moment and asked, "If you really succeed?"

The north and the south divide the world?

The dwarf grinned silently, revealing a hideous bloodiness that the surname Yelu had not had in twenty years.

And under the eaves of that restaurant, Xu Fengnian pulled the corners of his mouth.

Xu Fengnian got up and walked down the steps and began to walk into the Wudang Mountain North Divine Road.

What can such a person do if he becomes the emperor of Beimang?
