Long Han welcomed back Elder Sun, and seeing that he was not injured, he was relieved, and the two disciples joined together and set up camp thirty miles outside the Bauhinia Pass. Lu Liang did not rush to chase after him, but withdrew his men and horses to the pass and guarded the city gate.

Sun Zhong sighed and said, "This time I was careless, I fell into the enemy's ambush when I came up, and I almost wiped out the disciples, what a shame!" Long Han said: "Master Sun, what is the matter of being frustrated for a while, the key is to cheer up your spirits, and don't fall into our morale." ”

Sun Zhong nodded and said, "That's right. After pondering for a while, he said, "This Taihang Bacheng guards the main road of the east and west, and the eighteen sheep intestine trails are steep and rugged. The terrain is very easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Lu Liang is holding the city gate, and he won't be able to attack it for a while and a half, so I think we should retreat first, and go to support the king first!"

Long Han thought for a moment and said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate, if we retreat, if Lu Liang pursues from behind, and then attacks with Lu Fang on both sides, then we will inevitably be attacked on both sides, and we will not be able to take care of the end of the head, and then I am afraid the situation will be even worse." After hearing this, Sun Zhong felt that it made sense, so he stopped insisting and said, "Then what do you say should be done next?"

Long Han stared at the Bauhinia Pass with his eyes and said, "You must capture the Bauhinia Pass first." The tone was firm. Sun Zhong said: "But the Bauhinia Pass is impregnable, how can we attack it?" Long Han thought for a while, his mind lit up, and said: "If nothing else, the Bauhinia Pass will be broken within three days!"

Elder Sun's face didn't know whether he was excited or incredulous, and muttered, "This, is this possible?" Long Han smiled and said, "Master Sun, wait for me to arrange it, and I'll see when the time comes!" Long Han found a disciple who was attacking Hengshan with him, and commanded a few words in his ear. Then let him go to Hengshan to find Huang An, and the disciple took the order and left.

Long Han then instructed dozens of disciples to go to nearby towns to collect fishing nets, the more the better. Ten disciples also received the command. Sun Zhong listened inexplicably on the side. Asked: "Long Han, what do you want to do with fishing nets?" Long Han pretended to be mysterious and said: "Master Sun, don't ask yet, I will definitely give you a big surprise when the time comes!"

Sun Zhong was a little speechless, and said, "You kid, you are still selling Guan Zi in front of the master!" The disciples buried the pot to cook, and smoke rose outside the tent. When the meal was ready, a disciple was about to serve it to Sun Zhong and Long Han, when Long Han came to him and said, "You don't have to be busy, I'll come!"

Long Han filled two large bowls with food, brought it to Sun Zhong, and said, "Master, you're hungry, this food smells good." Sun Zhong nodded and said, "I'm hungry." Looking up at Long Han's eyes, full of approval and appreciation. picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites, and said, "Long Han, why did you have to go out to fight with the head of the sect in the first place?"

Long Han stopped his chopsticks, hesitated, and said: "Don't hide it from Master, I feel that I have no future in Wuyi Dao Academy, I want to come out and break through, hoping to make a career, so as to improve the poverty of the family, so that my mother can live a better life and have enough food." ”

Sun Zhong was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "Your reason is really realistic and utilitarian. However, the head of the sect has repeatedly taught us that the purpose of coming out to suppress bandits is not to gain fame and fortune in the temple court, but for the sake of the people of the world, as long as we can get rid of the evil criminals and return the world to live and work in peace and contentment, it will be worthwhile for us to practice. Our generation of cultivators need to hoe the strong and help the weak, be indifferent to fame and fortune, and be pure and inactive, in order to reach the highest level. ”

Long Han thought for a moment and said, "Master, the world is about to be in chaos, how can we be quiet and do nothing? Wouldn't that be in vain to walk in the world? It's good to be indifferent to fame and fortune, but I prefer fame and fortune." Sun Zhong turned his head and looked at Long Han, his eyes didn't know whether he was surprised or happy, and said, "Long Han, you are my disciple, but I only got to know you today." ”

Long Han lowered his head and said, "Master, I have disappointed you. Sun Zhong shook his head slowly and said, "No, you didn't disappoint the teacher. After thinking about it, he said, "Long Han, how are you practicing the Tuzi Sutra?" Long Han said: "I took the time to practice on the journey, and I have already practiced to the fifth level. "There are nine layers of the soil scripture, and the higher you go, the higher you practice. The more profound the mastery of the heavy earth element, the more the soil character scripture is the inner strength of the heart, the deeper the practice, the more you can master and learn the earth exercises. Its power also increases with the increase of internal strength.

Sun Zhong nodded approvingly and said, "It's good to be able to practice while fighting, and it's progressing so quickly." Long Han thought of something and said, "Master Sun, how do you know that I have obtained the Tuzi Sutra?" Sun Zhong smiled and said, "How can I not know that the advice to pass on the Tuzi Sutra and the Xuanhuang Dao to you was the one I mentioned to the head of the sect first." ”

Long Han didn't expect it, he felt very surprised, and said: "Master, why do you want the head of the sect to pass it on to me?" Sun Zhong said: "You saved my life, although I didn't thank you on the surface, how could I forget it, you desperately shot in Huangshan and defeated the slaughter, I still remember it to this day." Long Han said with some trepidation: "Master, that slaughter is not something I repelled. ”

Sun Zhong put down his chopsticks and said, "Then how did you repel him, everyone saw it at that time, it was you who defeated Luo Lie." Long Han touched his head and said, "I don't know about this, maybe it's a coincidence, Luo Lie has something to do temporarily, so he left in a hurry." Sun Zhong said: "This reason is very reluctant, so how did you subdue Chang Biao's colorful tiger later?"

Long Han couldn't speak, and said, "I don't know, maybe he's more familiar with the smell on my body." Sun Zhong smiled and said, "How can this be reasonable, this reason is even more reluctant." Long Han stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "Master, please help your disciple solve your doubts!"

Sun Zhong waved his hand and said: "Sit down and eat, some things, it won't work if you say it, besides, the heavenly secret can't be leaked, you are a blessed child, now there is about to be a big mess today, the time has come for heroes to come out, you can have the ambition to break into the world, and you will definitely not be buried in the dust in the future." As long as you are willing to work hard, strive to move forward, and never retreat, you can have a clear conscience, and leave the rest to destiny. ”

Of course, Long Han was confused, and Sun Zhong said again: "The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth have been lost for a long time, and the Five Elements True Scripture is also a treasure that people in the cultivation world dream of, many people have lost their lives for this True Scripture, you have a local character scripture, but don't spread it everywhere, otherwise it will definitely cause death." ”

Long Han nodded and said, "Disciple remembers." Sun Zhong said: "Where the other four are, no one knows, if you have the fate to collect all the five scriptures, you can practice the Five Elements Exercises, how powerful it is, in fact, I don't know." But this can't be forced, everything depends on how God arranges it. ”

Long Han said strangely: "Master, do you believe in heaven and fate so much?" Sun Zhong smiled and said: "When I was young, I didn't know how high the sky was, and I always thought that I could control my destiny, but as I got older, the more I believed that fate was determined by God and could not be changed by manpower. But this is just my feeling, maybe because I am old and I don't have the ambition I had at the beginning, you must not be affected by me. ”

As night approached, there was a cool breeze on the mountain trails, blowing the flags of the camp. The disciples who had gone to a nearby town to collect fishing nets returned, and they took a large bundle of fishing nets and spread them out outside the camp, which were too large to be spread on the mountain path, so they stretched them out onto the slopes on both sides.

The disciple asked if he wanted to collect some more, and Long Han thought it was big enough, so he asked them to eat and rest. The next morning, when the disciple who had gone to Hengshan returned, Long Han called him into the camp and asked him what the result was. The disciple nodded, wiped the storage bag, and took out a wooden barrel.

Long Han opened it and nodded, very satisfied. It turned out that the barrel was filled with yuan oil. In the evening, Long Han instructed his disciples to smear the oil on the fishing nets, and wipe it everywhere. The oil gives off a slight smell that smells very good. Everyone just did what Long Han told them, but they muttered in their hearts, not knowing what he was going to do.

Then Long Han ordered everyone to go back to the camp and sleep. If you can't sleep, you have to sleep, and wait until three o'clock in the middle of the night to wake everyone up. Instructed the disciples to quietly ambush five miles outside the Bauhinia Pass. When the door was closed and opened, someone rushed out, and they went up to surround and fight, and the disciples took the order.

In addition, he ordered seven or eight disciples to go up the mountain from both sides, four on the left and four on the left, and then no matter how far they went, they had to go around to the top of the mountain on both sides above the Bauhinia Pass. The eight disciples were ordered to climb up the mountain, and in about two quarters of an hour, the eight disciples were already standing on the top of the dangerous peaks on both sides.

Long Han rode the tiger to the dangerous peak on the left, turned the ring, and took out the fishing net. At this time, Sun Zhong also came to the mountain peak. According to Long Han, the four disciples on the left stood far away, spread out the fishing net, grabbed a few corners of one end, and tied a large stone to the place where they caught, while Sun Zhong held the other end, and then the sword flew up and flew towards the top of the opposite mountain.

The nets are thin and light, and they don't take much effort. Fly to the opposite side. Instructed the four disciples to pull the four corners of the fishing net and spread it out. At the same time tie large stones to the corners. Then you can see that the entire net has covered the sky above the Bauhinia Pass. Guanzhong Dazhai was completely enveloped.

The preparation was decided, Long Han immediately took out the Fire Thunder Staff and injected the Yuan Qi, the Fire Thunder Staff became red, and the Yuan Force Groove was flowing with red liquid. There was also a tongue of fire at the eagle's beak, and Long Han raised the fire and thunder staff. The disciples on both sides saw the fire ignite and threw down the fishing nets at the same time. The stones at the four corners fell, and the fishing nets covered the Bauhinia Pass Dazhai flatly.

Long Han continued to urge the vitality, and the Fire Thunder Staff erupted into a more ferocious fire, condensing into a black fireball from the eagle's beak, and Long Han reached out and threw the fireball down. The fireball landed on the fishing net like a pebble on the surface of a calm lake, and the flames rose and swept away, setting the entire net on fire almost instantly.
