Chapter 257: Opening the Way
The news that Zhang Zongbai wiped out the entire military camp with one palm quickly spread throughout the Chu Xiang army, but the surviving Chu Xiang soldiers did not know Zhang Zongbai, and only said that a Taoist slammed the entire military camp with one palm, shocking Chu Xiang and the generals. But everyone in the beggar gang shook their heads, and no one believed it.
It is not a skill to destroy a military camp, whether it is in the army or above the rivers and lakes, there are countless people who can do this. But such a character is either in retreat and cultivation in order to further his martial arts, or he is far away from the world and escaping from strife, how can there be such a capable person to destroy a military camp in Chu Xiang with one palm? You must know that there is no war between Chu Xiang and the Great Qi court, and the outcome is unpredictable.
But the terrible thing is that this person destroyed a military camp with only one palm, what kind of anti-heaven skill is this!
"This matter is absolutely impossible, carefully investigate the people who fled back, they must be spies of the imperial court, who come to confuse the public and disturb the hearts of our army!"
"I just don't know where this person is now, otherwise, if you have a few tricks with him, you will know the truth or falsehood."
"It's not impossible, the imperial court has just recovered Nanhuai, and I heard that Donglu Dongfang Zhong has also been broken, or there may be capable people to help, let him go."
Just when everyone was disagreeing, an old man coughed and said, "Ahem... Old man, let me say a few words, Chu Xiang and the imperial court, talking about Nanhuai and Donglu... Cough... That's far away. There are not many such characters, but they are not impossible. Chu Xiang has a... You say yes, right? Elder Du? ”
There was another old man sitting next to the old man, his appearance was quite thin, not as old as the old man, it was Elder Du whom he called, whose real name was Du Fangzong.
Du Fangzong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then persuaded, "Elder Mo, this matter... I don't think it's better to put it aside for now. If it's really the one who made the shot, you and I are not his opponents, and more than a thousand people are nothing, and it's over. ”
"Passed? Hum! Kill my beggar gang disciples for no reason, just say it's over? Ahem... I'm going to learn and see if he's so amazing in the rivers and lakes... It's been almost 50 years since the number one name in the world, and it's long overdue for a change! "This beggar elder named Mo Lantai is more ambitious.
Du Fangzong frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "The eight Dharma Protector Elders of the Beggar Gang, Elder Tang has already folded in Poyang Lake, at that time, the four Dharma Protector Elders made a move, and only then did they fight with that Li Yaoyang, there are many capable people in the rivers and lakes, Elder Mo, you are a treasure in the gang, you must not be lost..."
Mo Lantai grabbed the crutches beside him and stood up: "I heard that Jiang naturally and they have recovered from their injuries, and they will come here to help in the battle in a few days." If Elder Du is afraid, he will naturally wait for Jiang to come... Ahem, the old man has been in the rivers and lakes for almost sixty years, and he is not afraid of him and is gone. After saying that, the crutches were slightly on the ground, and the people had already shot out of the camp, and they didn't know where to go.
When Du Fangzong saw Mo Lantai leaving, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and he said softly: "Hmph, things that don't know how to die, rely on the old and sell the old." "The words just now were to deliberately provoke him, and among the elders in the gang, only the two of them were the oldest, and Du Fangzong had already looked at him unpleasantly.
When the other people in the tent saw Mo Lantai leaving, they didn't know what to do, Du Fangzong stood up and said: "It should be inspected and inspected, it should be trained and trained, if you see that old Taoist again, don't provoke him, I don't know what General Fan thinks?" As he spoke, he looked at the handsome position in the tent.
The commander of the Chu Xiang army is named Fan Shen, his martial arts are not very strong, and he does not have much advanced strategy, he can be entrusted with important tasks, and he is the commander of the army because he is loyal enough and obedient to the king of Chu Xiang. When King Chu Xiang sent him to send troops, he only planned to confront him, of course, he had to find someone who was loyal enough, and when the battle began, the position of the commander would not be taken care of.
Fan Shen also knew that his ability was mediocre, and he repeatedly wanted to make great contributions, so that everyone looked down on him and was unwilling, this time he was the head coach, and Fan Shen was excited. But I heard that the old Taoist destroyed a military camp with one palm, and Fan Shen also beat the drum in his heart. Listening to Du Fangzong's words, he weighed them for a long time, and finally his cautious personality prevailed, and he nodded slightly: "What Elder Du said is very true..."
Mo Lantai leaned on crutches, jumped into the air, closed his eyes and noticed the qi, and soon, a powerful aura came from not far away. Mo Lantai landed on the ground, crutches a little, and headed in that direction, followed by a group of ordinary elders and disciples of the beggar gang who followed him.
A thousand steps away, in a blink of an eye.
An old ebony cane was knocked down in the air, and the person who knocked it was also a white hair, it was Zhang Zongbai, who entered the Chu camp alone.
Zhang Zongbai stretched out two fingers, easily grabbed the ebony cane, looked up and smiled: "After so many years, Elder Mo still likes to greet people like this. ”
Mo Lantai didn't answer, and pulled the ebony cane hard, the crutches didn't move at all, but he wanted to do the same, and leaned towards Zhang Zongbai with his strength, clenched his hands into fists, and greeted Zhang Zongbai Zhou up and down.
Zhang Zongbai flashed a few steps in a row, and his clothes couldn't be lifted: "Don't old acquaintances say a few words when they meet?" If Poor Dao is not mistaken, you should have just stepped into the Finger Breath Realm, right? ”
Mo Lantai turned a deaf ear to Zhang Zongbai's words, and only focused on attacking with his fists, Zhang Zongbai dodged elegantly, calmly and relaxedly, and the two made a judgment.
Attacking dozens of moves, but there was no way to help Zhang Zongbai at all, Mo Lantai stopped and withdrew. Zhang Zongbai threw back the crutches with two fingers: "Elder Mo, you are also in the last years of the wind and candle." It's not easy to enter the Finger Breath Realm, and it hurts the body. ”
Mo Lantai took the crutches with one hand and said, "I guessed that it must be you, others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid." I have to compare myself with you today! ”
"Hehehe, Elder Mo has this Yaxing, and Poor Dao is also willing to accompany him." Zhang Zongbai laughed happily.
Mo Lantai danced his crutches, suddenly pointing to the east, and suddenly hitting the west, the breath of his body continued to emanate, and his momentum slowly increased. Zhang Zongbai put his hands behind his back, smiling and silent.
Mo Lantai's momentum increased very quickly, the wind gradually rose, flying sand and stones, and the surrounding Chu Xiang soldiers were blown to the ground, as if they were a little unstable. The sand and dust obscured the sky, and the light gradually dimmed, and it seemed that only this endless wind was blowing desperately between the heavens and the earth.
The surrounding beggar gang disciples looked happy: "It's the angry sweeping Qiankun stick method!" Elder Mo's stick method is estimated to have been completed! ”
Zhang Zongbai stood still, just waiting for him to finish dancing with a set of sticks.
Mo Lantai's momentum has risen to its peak, and at this time, where is there still the state of the old dragon bell, the sharpness of the eyes, the swiftness of the movements, and the magnificence of the breath, even the soldiers of the army cannot compare with it. Mo Lantai jumped to his feet and raised his crutches high, and the wind gathered on his crutches.
"Under the stick, Qiankun was surprised!"
The crutches were wrapped in the wind and knocked on Zhang Zongbai's head, Mo Lantai pursed his lips tightly, and his face was solemn. He saw Zhang Zongbai smiling indifferently, with a calm and breezy look, as if this move that stirred the heavens and the earth was not in his heart, not even in his eyes.
Seeing that this stick was about to be knocked down, Zhang Zongbai held it in the air with one hand, and in the wind, a stream of fresh air slowly gathered and condensed in his hand, no matter how the wind called, this clear air was condensed but not dispersed.
"Come!" Zhang Zongbai snorted lightly, and slowly sent out his palm wrapped in clear qi, and met the crutches.
"Bang !!"
Mo Lantai flew out sideways, and the beggars behind him helped the disciples panic, and they all took up light skills, wanting to take over Mo Lantai. It's just that the moment everyone reached out and touched Mo Lantai, they were shaken away by a huge force, and their hands were numb and difficult to luck.
Mo Lantai flew upside down for more than a hundred steps, until he hit a big tree, and he couldn't stop, spitting blood from his mouth. The ebony cane also happened to hit the ground and broke in two...
"Elder Mo has been immersed in martial arts for more than fifty years, and he still doesn't understand the true meaning of martial arts. But even so, it is really commendable to still set foot in the Finger Breath Realm..."Zhang Zongbai praised.
Mo Lantai has passed the age of antiquity, and the qi in his body has long been decayed, and this forcible exercise has already destroyed the internal organs in his body. Zhang Zongbai only controlled the qi to block, and Mo Lantai was counterattacked by his own skills, damaging his own meridians and internal organs. At this time, he vomited blood and couldn't move.
"Stopping fighting is martial arts, martial arts need to be strong, gentle, fast when it should be fast, slow when it should be slow... Elder Mo only pursues a strong and strong, mortal body, how can you support the idea of striving for hegemony in your heart? Hundreds of steps away, Zhang Zongbai only took a few steps to the side of Mo Lantai, looking at Mo Lantai who fell to the ground, his heart was full of regret.
Mo Lantai was lying on the ground and wanted to say something, but unfortunately a large stream of blood spit out from one mouth, and he saw that he would not live long.
Zhang Zongbai took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a brown pill from the bottle, squatted down and said: "This is the true Yang Mountain elixir, it's ugly... However, it specializes in internal injuries. You and I have known each other so far, and we are also old friends, how can we not save them? Take it quickly. It's just that after the injury is healed, you can't do it again, otherwise the muscles and veins will die as soon as possible. Let's go back to our hometown and live in retirement. ”
Zhang Zongbai put the pill in Mo Lantai's hand, stood up and looked back, whether it was a beggar disciple or a Chu Xiang soldier, they were all frightened, and they didn't dare to look at each other.
Zhang Zongbai sighed and said: "The disputes in the world are difficult to solve..."After speaking, he walked away.
Mo Lantai turned his head with difficulty, looking at the pill in his hand, with endless resentment in his heart: "Zhang Zongbai! The fingertips struggled, the pill was pinched and smashed, and he was so angry that he closed his eyes on the spot, and he was dying.
If you can't penetrate the martial arts, it's better to die.
The martial artists of the whole world are afraid that they all think so in their hearts.
Zhang Zongbai traveled all the way to the west, and there were nearly 100 military camps, and no one stopped him. Whether it is a beggar disciple or a Chu Xiang soldier, when he sees the old Taoist in a Taoist robe, the bold can pretend not to see it, and the timid have long retreated, not daring to be the right way.
Not long after Zhang Zongbai left, Daqi soldiers and horses also discovered the military camp that was destroyed by Zhang Zongbai's palm, and hurriedly reported it to the commander in the army.
The commander of the Great Qi Army is named Tang Xingchang, who is a general of the Yulin Army in the middle of the court, and the official is the general of the Chinese Army, and his father is also a general in the Yulin Army, and the official is the leading general. The father and son have been generals for two generations, and they are also loyal to the court. Zhao Yizhi sent him here to be the commander, and he also had the same thoughts as the king of Chu Xiang.
Tang Xingchang hesitated for a moment when he heard the news, he was not as mediocre as Chu Xiang's Fan Shen, on the contrary, he was very smart and decisive, and waved his hand: "Someone has leveled the enemy camp for us, and ordered the patrol soldiers to search for it!" Searching for supplies is also a victory! ”
The soldiers patrolling near Anhui City were ordered to go to the barracks.
As the sun set, the two sneaked out of Anhui City, taking advantage of the fact that the city gate was about to close and the guards were changing.
"His Royal Highness, no one patrols Yu Lu, hehehe." Mao Tingsong withdrew the iron wire in his hand and proudly reported to Ge Cifeng...
