Chapter One Hundred and Nine: The Battle of Fenghua

Ye Suiyun never expected that the strange person in front of him was Yin Tianci, who disappeared in Fenghua Valley twenty years ago, and said: "The younger generation was elected by Brother Lin Cheng and other brothers of the Beggar Gang, and now he is in the position of the leader of the Beggar Gang. Brother Lin has mentioned your matter to me many times. He should have called Yin Tianci his predecessor, but he was afraid of disdainful of him in his heart, so he didn't want to call him this name.

Yin Tianci was surprised, looked at Ye Suiyun carefully, and suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed Ye Suiyun's wrist. Ye Suiyun didn't think that he would make a sudden move, but he was still very fast, and he was caught off guard. At the same time, the 'Shenmen' and 'Tongli'** at the wrist pulse were knocked through by a strong force. His own protective qi immediately reacted, violently reversing this external force. Yin Tianci only felt that his palm was numb, and he couldn't hold it, and the hand holding Ye Suiyun was suddenly bounced away.

A trace of surprise flashed on Yin Tianci's face, and he praised: "Good boy, there are really two hits, no wonder they chose you." Only then did Ye Suiyun know that he was testing his martial arts. Although You Qianhe's martial arts are only average, his vision is not lost, he knows very well what level Yin Tianci is, just now the two of them changed their skills, and they immediately understood in their hearts, and said in surprise: "Child, how did you learn this martial arts." Originally, I thought that it would be a pity that you failed to get your father to teach you skills, but now it seems that I, an old man, have been too worried. ”

Ye Suiyun said: "This matter can't be explained in one or two sentences, it's better to say it first." He asked Yin Tianci again: "What happened in Maple Valley back then, and why did you disappear here?" ”

Yin Tianci sat down and said: "At that time, the Ming Sect gradually became stronger, and it faintly threatened the pattern of martial arts in the Central Plains. I made an appointment with my third brother, planning to gather the strength of the Beggar Gang and the Tang Sect to strike down this sect from the Western Regions first, firstly, to get rid of the troubles for the Central Plains Martial Arts, and secondly, to greatly enhance our prestige and take the opportunity to strengthen the power of the Beggars Gang and the Tang Sect. Now that I think about it, it's just that I was young and full of ambition at that time, and I just wanted to make some achievements. ”

You Qianhe said on the side: "It's more appropriate to say that it is ambition." It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and great things have not been accomplished, but they have suffered a catastrophe. "It's kind of schadenfreude.

Yin Tianci ignored him and said: "In fact, the idea of dealing with Mingjiao is not only for the sake of fame, but also has another thought, which is to take advantage of the opportunity of this battle to get rid of the third brother, and as long as he dies at the hands of Mingjiao afterwards, no one in the rivers and lakes will doubt it." ”

Yin Tianci glanced at Ye Suiyun and You Qianhe, who were silent, smiled bitterly, and said, "You must think in your hearts that I am heinous." To be honest, after making this decision, I was also very tormented, unable to sleep at night, unable to eat, and miserable. He suddenly leaned out, left the chair, and got two feet closer to Ye Suiyun, and said: "But for the sake of emptiness, I abandoned my conscience and humanity, and I didn't care about anything." At this, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and his expression was terrifying.

After a moment of silence, You Qianhe said, "It's hard to guarantee that your third brother doesn't think the same way." Yin Tianci sat back again, his eyes straightened, and said, "Yes, who knows." ”

When Ye Suiyun heard this, he suddenly thought that Yin Tianci could say these extremely disgraceful things that had been hidden in his heart for many years without any hindrance, which was enough to show that he was open in his heart at the moment, looking at his expression, he seemed to have less of a burden for the evil deeds and evil thoughts in the past, only guilt and contempt.

After all, he didn't have personal experience twenty years ago, so Ye Suiyun didn't have a big hatred for Yin Tianci, coupled with the inevitable closeness to the beggar gang, Ye Suiyun's hatred for him gradually disappeared, and asked: "After listening to it for a long time, who is the third brother of the senior, he is from the Tang Sect, right?" ”

Yin Tianci heard that Ye Suiyun had changed his name, and there seemed to be a trace of gratitude in his eyes, and he replied: "I forgot to say this, my third brother's surname is Tang Ming Aotian, and at that time he had just taken over the position of the head of the Tang Sect, and he was also eager to break out of the Hall of Fame to show his family." ”

Ye Suiyun was suddenly shocked and said, "It's Tang Aotian." Yin Tianci and You Qianhe were baffled by his shout. Ye Suiyun said: "Yes, yes, I'm so stupid, I should have thought that he should naturally be the one who can drive the people in the Tang Sect." Thinking that Tang Aotian was also such a character, I really didn't know whether to tell Tang Xiao or not.

Ye Suiyun suddenly found that the two of them were looking at him strangely, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Senior, go on." ”

Yin Tianci said: "The Mingjiao ambushed on the way we must go, and suddenly launched an attack, and the beggar gang and the Tangmen coalition army were unprepared, and they were in chaos in an instant, so they could only fight on their own. My third brother and I were besieged by five people at the same time, and these five people are all very powerful, and they should be at the level of the Ming Sect Dharma King. They came prepared, and naturally the strongest of them came to deal with me and the third brother. Ye Suiyun's heart was pounding, he clearly remembered that Tang Aotian had said on Jun Mountain that it was his father who saved him in the battle of Fenghua Valley, and it seemed that Yin Tianci was about to talk about it.

Yin Tianci said: "You and I have been fighting for half a day, and the two of us have gradually lost support, fighting and retreating, but the opponent is not an ordinary person, and they are chasing after each other." Both of us were injured in multiple places, and the beggars and Tang Men brothers were no longer in the vicinity. At this time, the third brother was negligent, and was swept on the leg by the opponent's stick, I clearly heard the sound of broken bones, and the third brother fainted with a scream. Ye Suiyun came here to know that Tang Aotian's legs were crippled like this.

Yin Tianci said: "At this time, someone on the other side shouted, 'Hand over the empty secret and leave you all corpses', I knew that they were also here for this secret book, and it seems that they had already targeted me, but it may not be because of this operation that they attacked us." At that time, at the moment of life and death, my internal strength had been exhausted, and I couldn't take care of it anymore, so I took out the empty secret and threw it into the distance, picked up the third brother and ran. Helplessly, the strength of the hands and feet was gone, and the three masters of the Ming Sect caught up with them after a few ups and downs. I let out a long sigh and closed my eyes to die. Just then, a man suddenly appeared and stopped the present. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the man was in his thirties, dressed in green cloth, and his martial arts were superb, and he forced back three Mingjiao masters with only three palms. Then he grabbed me and my third brother one by one and quickly fled the battlefield. ”

Ye Suiyun's hands trembled slightly, and his body leaned forward unconsciously. Yin Tianci looked at him, nodded and said, "Yes, this person is Nie Daxia." ”

Ye Suiyun heard his last sentence, and his eyes were already moist. Yin Tianci said: "I didn't know who he was at that time, I only knew that he saved the lives of both of us. I said, 'Thank you for saving me,' but he didn't say a word. I wondered in my heart, thinking that this human nature was strange, so I didn't say more. When he reached a safe place, he put the two of us down and asked, 'What about the secret of emptiness?' I was startled, and thought to myself that he had come for this book as well, and that it seemed that the two of us were going to die here today. ”

Speaking of this, Yin Tianci suddenly laughed and said: "It's strange to say, the book was no longer in my hands at that time, but I had no regrets, only relaxed, thinking of what I had done before, I suddenly felt that even if I was killed by him, it was nothing." ”

You Qianhe snorted a few times in a row and said, "Do you think that Nie Daxia is as shameless as you and will covet that cheat?" ”

Yin Tianci glanced at him and continued: "I said, 'The secret book has been snatched away by the Ming Sect, you can kill me.'" But he looked at me coldly and said, 'I wanted to take your two lives today, but for the sake of your brother in the moment of your life and death, I will spare your life.' If you can start a beggar gang, you should naturally be a benevolent and righteous person, but why would you plot against your brother-in-law for a book. I heard him ask, "How could this man know this?" Now that I think about it, it was naturally what Old Man You told him. Right? ”

You Qianhe said proudly: "Yes, you should thank me a lot, if I hadn't finally found Nie Daxia and told him the whole story, how could he go to you, and how could he save the lives of the two of you at a critical time?" ”

Ye Suiyun didn't care about the two bickering, he just wanted to hear more about his father, and asked, "What happened later?" ”

Yin Tianci said: "Speaking of which, I don't know why I ran away with my third brother, I obviously planned to get rid of him." But it was this move that made Nie Daxia let me go. He said to me, 'You are both the masters of the same faction, and if you do bad things, they will be great evils, so do what you want.' When your third brother wakes up, I will relay my words to him. Although the Tang Sect and the beggar gang are powerful, they are nothing in my eyes. He was warning me that it would not be difficult to take both of my lives. I'm ashamed to say that I was also a first-class master in the rivers and lakes at that time, but I was forced by your father's cold eyes to dare not raise my head. ”

You Qianhe said: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be too humble, your martial arts are also counted among the best in the martial arts, you don't dare to look at Nie Daxia, just because you feel ashamed in your heart, so when you are in the world, you still have to be upright to be strong." ”

Ye Suiyun felt that Yin Tianci's account was full of guilt and blame for himself, and he didn't want to embarrass him anymore, and said: "If you plan to deal with the Ming Sect, you must act cautiously, why are you being taken advantage of by the enemy?" ”

Yin Tianci said: "Speaking of which, there is indeed something strange about this matter, and I always recalled it later, and concluded that there must be a spy among the coalition forces. Ah, now that you're in charge of the beggars, be careful. ”

Ye Suiyun suddenly felt embarrassed in his heart, and he didn't know whether to tell him about the fact that the beggar gang was almost divided because of him, and after some struggle, he finally decided to tell the truth. At the moment, he said how he saved Guo Yan, and then he was entrusted by him, but he became the leader of the gang when he passed the word on Junshan, and how he was framed by people repeatedly, so that Lei Ye'an and Lin Cheng almost fought and so on, and said: "Although Brother Lin Cheng still regards me as the helper, but now I am also a fugitive from the crime, how can I continue to take on the heavy responsibility." ”

After Yin Tianci listened, he said gloomily: "According to what you said, only Lei Ye'an and Ma Tianji are still left among the seven elders in the gang. Since the Battle of Fenghua Valley, I have never heard of the news of the gang, and it turns out that the masters of the gang have lost so much. Now it is Lin Cheng and Zhan Yi who have been promoted to elders. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "You said that my apprentice Guo Yan took over the position of helper, not a child?" ”

Ye Suiyun knew that he was asking Yin Fang, and nodded, but he couldn't say half a word. Yin Fang was killed by his own hands, how could he say it in front of Yin Tianci, just now he avoided the important and lightly mentioned it, only saying that there were traitors colluding with foreign enemies, but he did not say Yin Fang's name.

Yin Tianci is not an ordinary person, he immediately saw that Ye Suiyun had something to hide, and asked: "Ye Shaoxia, please tell me the truth, did you have an accident with Fang'er?" ”

Ye Suiyun knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to tell Yin Fang about the process of colluding with Jintang Village and Tianlong Village to kill Guo Yan, seeking to seize the position of gang leader, and finally being killed by himself from beginning to end, and finally said: "Although I have no intention of killing him, he died at my hands after all." ”

Yin Tianci had tears in his eyes, but he didn't cry as much as he did just now, and the tears slipped down drop by drop, but there was no sound. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Fang Erzhi is talented and sparse, this is not the material for the helper." I also blame me for neglecting to discipline him, never teaching him well, so that he is so easily taken advantage of. That's it, that's it, everything has a cause and effect, and this is also his own fault, and he can't blame others. Having said that, Yin Tianci's tears kept falling, and Ye You and the others were also silent. Yin Tianci said sadly: "This may also be God's punishment for being unfaithful and unjust." At last he couldn't help crying bitterly, and it took a while before he gradually calmed down.

Ye Suiyun waited for him to recover a little, and said, "Does it mean that the Void Secret ended up in the hands of the Ming Sect?" ”

"Not bad." You Qianhe said: "After the Battle of Fenghua Valley, your father told me that since the Empty Secret was snatched away by the Ming Sect, he went to snatch it back. The two of us inquired in many ways, and finally heard the news from a Ming sect disciple that the Ming Church held a secret meeting in the Great Guangming Temple in Chang'an on the tenth day of June of that year, and the sect leader Lu Weilou would also be present at that time, and the empty secret must also be there. ”

Ye Suiyun said: "So you and my father decided to snatch back the Void Secret that day. But... He frowned and said, "There are many people in the Ming Sect, but there are only two of you, did you succeed in the end?" ”

You Qianhe and Yin Tianci glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but laugh. Ye Suiyun didn't understand what he said wrong, which made them feel funny. You Qianhe said: "Suiyun, after all, you are young and don't know the old news of the rivers and lakes, so you asked just now." Ye Suiyun still didn't understand,

Yin Tianci also calmed down his sadness at this time, and said: "Because there was a major event that shook the martial arts that day, known as the 'Guangming Temple Incident' in history. ”

Ye Suiyun was puzzled: "What's the matter?" "It's the first time I've heard of it.

Yin Tianci said: "On that day, all the staff of Tiance Mansion went out and united with Shaolin Temple to raid the Guangming Temple, killing almost everyone in the Ming Sect, and only a few people, including Lu Weilou, fled. The elite of the Ming Sect was wiped out in this battle. Originally, after the defeat of my beggar gang and the Tang Sect in Fenghua Valley, the prestige of the Ming Sect was growing, and the sect members were also multiplied. ”

Ye Suiyunqi said: "The Tiance Mansion is also involved, could it be that they are also here for the Void Secret Technique?" ”

"No, the 'Guangming Temple Incident' was purely caused by Mingjiao itself." You Qianhe said.

"Why is that?" Ye Suiyun asked.

You Qianhe said: "After the battle of Fenghua Valley, the forces of the Ming Sect swept through the Central Plains like a fire of the plain, but they developed too fast, and they were bound to attract the attention of the imperial court. In addition, Mingjiao is a Hu religion, which has caused criticism within the court. The emperor would not allow any martial arts sect to threaten the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's rule, so he issued a 'breaking order', requiring all except the designated religion to be dissolved, and the first to bear the brunt was the Ming Sect. ”

Ye Suiyun said in his heart, and said: "But how can the Ming Sect be obediently disbanded, the emperor is afraid that it is too simple."

You Qianhe said: "The emperor naturally knows that Mingjiao will not be followed, so there is a scene in the Guangming Temple. Tiance Mansion did a lot of information collection and preparation in the early stage, and united with the Shaolin Temple to attack the enemy with lightning speed, which defeated Mingjiao in one fell swoop. ”

Ye Suiyun then understood, and muttered: "In this way, when you and my father went to the Guangming Temple, the battle was already over. ”

"Yes." You Qianhe said, "I think it was in this battle that the Empty Secret was taken away by the Tiance Mansion, but then somehow it went back and forth, and there was news that this book actually appeared in the palace." ”

Ye Suiyun suddenly remembered the story that Wei Qiwu had said in Wujiaoguan, and said in a deep voice: "Therefore, my father entered the palace. "I secretly thought that the legend that my father entered the palace to punish evil is not the truth, and the real intention is to recover the secret of emptiness.

You Qianhe said: "Yes, Nie Daxia missed the Empty Secret twice and three times, and he was also annoyed, and told me that this time he had to get the book no matter what." Outcome.. Hehe... Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

Ye Suiyun saw him with a strange smile, thinking to himself how heavily guarded the forbidden place of the palace was, but he was afraid that his father would run in vain again, and said, "Are you returning again in vain?" ”

You Qianhe shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "As a result, he not only got the book, but also met his future wife, that is, your mother 'Princess Yuzhen' Li Chiying." ”
