Chapter 241: The rivers and lakes are in turmoil, and the gods are destroyed

The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Chu Mofeng lived up to expectations, and after a vicious battle with the demon monk Zhi in the Sadness Temple, he finally captured Zhi alive, and in the last two days of the Wude year, he once again relieved the crisis for the Tang Dynasty, and then Chu Mofeng reported the matter to Li Shimin as it was.

In 627 A.D., Li Shimin decreed to change the Yuan Zhenguan, which was the first year of Zhenguan, and on the seventeenth day of the first month, the general of Tianjie and the king of Yanjun, Li Yi, occupied Jingzhou and rebelled against the imperial court, and then was quickly extinguished.

In February of the first year of Zhenguan, in view of the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, heroes and heroes flocked to each other. After the rise of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan in order to appease the people, these people were placed in the prefectures and counties to give Ronglu, so that the number of prefectures and counties greatly exceeded the Sui Dynasty during the opening of the emperor and the Great Cause.

After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, after a long period of consideration, he believed that there were more officials and fewer people, and he wanted to get rid of the malpractices.

On the first day of February, Li Shimin ordered the prefectures and counties to be merged, and according to the topography of the mountains and rivers, the whole country was divided into ten provinces: "One is the Guannei Road, in which the capital Chang'an and the surrounding areas are separately divided and set up as Gyeonggi Province; the second is Henan Province, which ends with the sea in the east, Hangu in the west, Binhuai in the south, and the river in the north, and a total of 30 prefectures such as Lingyu, Shaanxi, Ru, Zheng, and Hua, and the administrative office is Luoyang County, Luozhou; the third is the east of the river, which is from Changshan in the east, according to the river in the west, Shouyang and Taihang in the south, and Turkic in the north, leading Taiyuan Mansion and Pu, Jin, Jiang, Ci, Xi, etc. Fen and other 18 prefectures, Hezhong County; four is Hebei Road, east and sea, south of the river, west of Taihang, Changshan, north of Yuguan, Jimen, Linghuai, Wei, Ping, Ji, Ying, a total of 24 prefectures and Andong Governor's Protectorate, the seat of governance is Weizhou; the fifth is Shannan Road, east of Jingchu, west of Longshu, south of the river, north of Shanghua Mountain, Jing, Xiang, Deng, Tang and other prefectures, Xiangzhou; six is Longyou Road, east of Qinzhou, west of quicksand, south of Shu and Tubo, north of Shuomo, the place of governance is Shanzhou; seven is Huainan Road, Lingyang, Chu, Chu, He, Hao, Lu, Shou, Guang, etc., a total of 14 prefectures and 57 counties, the seat of governance is Yangzhou; the eighth is Jiangnan Province, east of the sea, west of Shu, Antarctic Ridge, north of the river, Lingchang, Su, Hu, Hangzhou, Yue, Taiwan, Fu, Xuan and other prefectures, the seat of governance is Yuezhou; nine is Jiannan Road, which was changed from Yizhou, and the seat of governance is still Chengdu Prefecture; ten is Lingnan Road, the seat of governance is Guangzhou, and the jurisdiction is Liangguang, southeast Yunnan and the north of the southwest barbarian.

At the beginning of March, Suzhou, Jiangnan Province, Jiangnan Water Township has been rich in handsome women since ancient times, especially in Yuezhou, Shi Yiguang, who was born in the late Spring and Autumn Period in Yue Guoju without Ramie Village, has been with his mother Huansha Riverside since childhood, so it is also called "Huansha Girl". She is naturally beautiful, captivating the country and the city, and is the embodiment and synonym of beauty.

Although the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are graceful, but there is a unique sect in Yuezhou, called Yanyu Villa, the founder is a woman, the people in the rivers and lakes are called Yanyu Fairy, and the swordsmanship handed down from the late Spring and Autumn Period is famous all over the world.

Yanyu Villa has been passed down to this generation, the owner of the village is still a woman, this person is called Hua Ziruo, and the person is like a dust fairy as his name, which makes many famous families and heroes flock to it, but on this day, Hua Ziruo ushered in a major crisis in his life.

Things have to start from half a year ago, that is, Yuezhou is still Yuezhou, but a new sect suddenly rose in Yuezhou, known as the Flying Sword League, the leader of the alliance is a handsome man, holding a three-edged sword with a strange shape, constantly challenging the good hands of various sects and factions in the rivers and lakes, and in the eastern part of the Central Plains in half a year, many people in the rivers and lakes were defeated under his hands.

The people who fought with him said that this person's moves were tricky, and the blades in his hands were particularly peculiar, and they could be separated and combined in an instant, which made people unguardable. This person went to challenge all the heads or chiefs of each sect, and after winning the competition, he destroyed the plaque of the other sect, which made all the people in the rivers and lakes angry, thinking of uniting to find justice for him, but he lost under the one-on-one fair competition, and the group attack was done by the villain, so he could only let it run rampant in the eastern part of the Central Plains.

At this time, Hua Ziruo held a sword flower with the Mid-Autumn Water Sword in her hand, then wiped the blood stains on the corner of her mouth, and looked coldly at the handsome man opposite and said, "I have heard that Your Excellency has picked dozens of sects for more than half a year, I don't know what Your Excellency wants?"

I saw that the handsome man sneered, the three-edged sword in his hand shook, and he looked at Hua Ziruo as if he was looking at a dead man and said: "It's all in such a field, the owner of the flower village still thinks about these things, aren't you worried about accidentally killing you in the next one?"

"Kill me? Not to mention that the Yuezhou government in Jiangnan Province will do its best to want you, do you think that there is no justice in this Jianghu? Kick the gym competition, fair and just, point to point, if you have a murderous intention, do you think Yaksha will not go to you?" Holding the Qiushui Sword in his hand across his chest, Hanako Ruo spit out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood, and then looked at the man angrily and said: "A person who doesn't even dare to report his name, with ulterior motives, is making waves in the rivers and lakes, and you underestimate this rivers and lakes too much." ”

I saw the man smile slightly, like a woman smiling like a flower, and then the three-edged sword in his hand shook, and rushed towards Hua Ziruo, "Yaksha? I was about to go to him, it is rumored that the top three martial arts in the world, Shaolin and Emei, are equally divided, and he is ranked third. ”

Seeing that the other party rushed over, as a woman, Hanako bit her silver teeth, and her eyes also showed a trace of ruthlessness, and then she connected the dots under her feet, and the Qiushui sword in her hand drew layers of sword shadows, instantly enveloping the other party's whole body, and only heard the continuous clanging sound in the light and shadow, and I didn't know how many swords Hanako Ruo stabbed out of this move, and how many swords the other party blocked, and then only heard a 'bang', and the two of them each fell backwards.

The flower on this side retreated seven or eight steps in a row before stabilizing his figure, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a surge of qi and blood in his body, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the handsome man on the other side only took two steps back, and then stomped on his heel to resist the retreat, and then said with a smile: "Flower owner, you lost, and the void promised to give in." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall of Yanyu Villa, and as soon as he went out, he saw a harrier turn over, and the whole person jumped into the air, and then only heard a 'bang', and the plaque of Yanyu Villa was kicked to the ground, and then stepped in half by the falling Xumi.

After the figure of Xumi disappeared in the Yanyu Villa, Hua Ziruo's body was loosened, and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the disciples dared to surround him when they saw this, and exclaimed again and again, "Zhuang Master", only to see Hua Ziruo use the sword and pestle in his hand to support his body on the ground, and then whispered: "Quickly go and inform the heads of the two major sects of Shaolin and Emei about this matter through the flying pigeon transmission, and find a way to inform Lord Yaksha, telling him to be careful of the one called Xumi." As soon as the words fell, I saw Hanakoruo close her eyes and fall to the ground.

In the Shaolin Temple of Songshan Mountain, Henan Province, a group of monks held ring sticks, and looked at the men in black suits around the martial arts arena, in the center of the martial arts arena, a handsome man held a strangely shaped weapon, and was looking at the abbot Master Zhiyuan opposite.

I saw Master Zhiyuan saluting the man and said, "Amitabha, the donor visited the temple in such a battle today, I don't know what happened?"

The old monk said and laughed, and came here today, just to learn from you, and then give you and the old guy Emei a first and second grade, and then go to meet the third kid today. The man slowly pulled the weapon out of the scabbard, and then said with a little playfulness: "That old guy in Emei was lucky enough to beat me by half a move, I want to see how martial arts you are, old monk?"

As soon as he heard that the other party had already visited Emei, Master Zhiyuan immediately frowned, and then said in a deep voice: "Amitabha, since the donor cares so much about these false names, then today's competition is not comparable, the poor monk thinks that he is not as good as the Qinglian Master, this competition, you still go to His Royal Highness the Virtuous King, please forgive the poor monk for not being able to send it far." Zhiyuan made a gesture of please to the man, and then turned around and walked towards the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Who knew that the man suddenly exerted force under his feet, and the three-edged sword in his hand was thrown from right to left, and a sword blade came out of the sword, stabbing towards Master Zhiyuan's back with a whirl. Feeling a gust of cold wind behind him, Master Zhiyuan immediately leaned back and made a move to the iron plate bridge, only to see the blade of the sword flying against the tip of his nose, and then Master Zhiyuan did not get up, kicked hard under his feet, and the whole person flew upside down and rushed towards the man.

A simple move in the Arhat boxing method, full of infinite strength towards the man's lower plate, the man saw this toe kick, the whole person retreated again and again, seeing that a blow missed, Master Zhiyuan supported the ground with one hand and turned in place, the whole person jumped forward, and then attacked forward again, there is a way is not on the frame, low is not blocked, the center is beaten, become gossip, both hands do not leave the arms, gods and ghosts dare not come. I saw Master Zhiyuan's hand in the hand of the step hammer, the step hammer, the force twist hammer, the turn over hammer, the lifting block hammer, the yin hammer, the meteor hammer, the distraction hammer in turn, one move faster than the other, the man saw the situation only had the momentum of parrying, but there was no opportunity.

Seeing Master Zhiyuan's distracted stroke, the man thought that the next move should be a step-by-step beat, and then his left hand lifted the palm and went to Master Zhiyuan's heart, who knew that Master Zhiyuan sneered, and suddenly changed his move to make a fist collapse, which happened to the man's palm, only to hear a 'bang', and the man flew backwards.

Seeing this, Master Zhiyuan was about to get up and chase after him, but in the process of flying upside down, the three-edged sword in his hand was thrown again, and the other blade also came out of the sword, shooting straight towards Master Zhiyuan, and a monk on the side shouted when he saw this, "Master take the stick." Immediately threw the ring stick in his hand to Master Zhiyuan, Master Zhiyuan saw this first a short body, and then his legs tensed and kicked upward, the whole person jumped into the air, and after copying the ring stick, he slashed at the flying blade, and the blade fell to the ground.

At this time, the man had stabilized his figure, the tip of his right foot was a little against the ground, knocked up a stone and kicked the blade inserted in the ground, and was surrounded by this force, and the blade flew towards Master Zhiyuan again, in view of the fact that Master Zhiyuan could land at this time, he never thought that the man would have this move, and he had no time to block for a while, so he had to put the ring stick in his hand in front of him, and the whole body was on one side, which was able to dodge this blow, who knew that the blade that passed by brought up the handle, and the two blades flew back by hooking with the strength of the rebound.

Master Zhiyuan heard a strange sound behind him, and rushed towards the man with a kick under his feet, completely ignoring the two soul-chasing blades behind him, the man's face suddenly froze when he saw this, and at this time, the three blades had already shot out two, and he had no choice but to raise the three-edged sword and rush towards Master Zhiyuan.

I saw the two confronting each other, Master Zhiyuan's hand suddenly slipped backwards, I grabbed the tip of the stick, the whole stick was rounded in a half-arc, from right to left against the man's ribs, the man immediately held the sword in his right hand from left to right to block outward, just listen' With a bang, the stick and sword intersected, Master Zhiyuan took advantage of the man's outward strength, took the ring stick as the fulcrum, turned his feet, and the whole person came to the man's side, and also dodged the two sword blades behind him, and then the ring stick in Master Zhiyuan's hand was loosened, and the whole person rushed forward with a lunge, when even if he made a punch, hit the man's ribs.

Seeing that Master Zhiyuan suddenly dodged to the side, the man was about to change his move to resist, but he saw his two sword blades flying, and in desperation, the man had to hold up the three-edged sword and shake it left and right, retracting the two sword blades to the sword, and then just about to change his move, suddenly a powerful force came from the waist and ribs, the man's body shook, and suddenly a sharp pain swept through the whole body.

Then Master Zhiyuan stood still, folded his hands and said to the man: "Amitabha, the competition is over until the trial, and the donor has accepted." At this time, the man knew that he had already lost a move, and immediately sneered and said: "Yes, yes, old monk, you are better than the old guy in Emei, and you deserve to be the first today." ”

The donor smiled, the poor monk escaped into the empty door, and he had long since stopped asking about the affairs of the red world, and this kind of false name was already a useless thing. I saw Master Zhiyuan hand the ring stick to a monk on the side, and then said with a smile: "I think that Emei Qinglian Master Tai, is also a person who is dedicated to cultivation, and has long been ignorant of the false name in the world. ”

Hearing this, the man raised his head to the sky and roared, then picked up the scabbard on the ground and shouted to the disciples: "Let's go, don't be ashamed to lose a move, let's go and meet His Royal Highness the Virtuous King for a while." After speaking, he led a group of disciples to leave Songshan, and looked like they were heading towards Chang'an City.

Looking at the figure of the man leaving, Master Zhiyuan immediately shook his head slowly, "Amitabha, sin, sin." ”

Previously, Qinglian Shitai competed with Xumi of the Flying Sword Alliance, although he narrowly won half a move, but Qinglian Shitai was too old, and after a competition, he also lost a lot of vitality, so since Xumi left Emei, he has been bedridden.

Seeing this, the Emei disciples immediately didn't know what to do, but Chu Ninghan, who went up the mountain to learn art, saw this, and passed the news to Chu Mofeng and Shi Hanshuang through the flying pigeon, and then Chu Mofeng, who received the news, immediately rushed to Emei with Shi Hanshuang and Mo Ziyao.

In the back hall of Emei, Chu Mofeng and Shi Hanshuang looked at Mo Ziyao who was treating Master Qinglian with solemn faces, while Chu Ninghan on the side stood obediently without saying a word.

After a while, Mo Ziyao pulled out all the silver needles on Qinglian Shitai's body, and then reached out to cover the quilt for Qinglian Shitai, then turned to look at Chu Mofeng and nodded, "Shitai, her old man is no big problem, I will copy a prescription later, send someone down the mountain to grab medicine, take it on time every day, and it will be cured in less than half a month." ”

Hearing that Master Qinglian was too unharmed, everyone present breathed a long sigh of relief, and at this time, Master Qinglian said to Shi Hanshuang: "Shuang'er, I don't have the energy to take care of the things on the mountain these days, and I have to bother you to stay on the mountain for a little longer, and temporarily preside over the overall situation for the teacher, I don't know what you think?"

Turning around and glancing at Chu Mofeng, seeing that the other party nodded, Shi Hanshuang immediately smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, the apprentice will take care of the mountain during this time until you recover." ”

Then Chu Mofeng asked with some confusion: "Auntie, what is the origin of this Flying Sword Alliance, and why is it that you are challenging the Central Plains Martial Artist this time?"

"This sub has a strange weapon, and the number of martial arts is also weird, and when I fight with it, I can't figure out the other party's way of origin, but I faintly feel like the moves in the Dongying Penglai area. Master Qinglian closed her eyes, recalled the scene of the previous fight, and said slowly: "Actually, there is one thing that I haven't been able to tell you for so many years, the burning sky in your hand is originally a pair, and there is one that should be in the town of Songshan Shaolin Temple's Demon Palace, if you want to know the details, you have to go to Songshan in person." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded when he heard this, and then hooked his hand at Shi Hanshuang, and the two walked straight out of the apse, and came to the courtyard outside the apse, Chu Mofeng said to Shi Hanshuang with a solemn face: "This time this person's intention is unknown, I decided to spread the news in the name of Hua Yasha on the other side of the river, and ask this person to compete in Songshan in half a month, this time I have to go to Songshan for a trip, please leave it to you and Ziyao here, everything is fine." ”

I saw Shi Hanshuang nodded and said: "Cheng, let's see you in Songshan in half a month, be careful when you go out, don't forget that there are still people waiting for you at home." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng took Shi Hanshuang in his arms, kissed her forehead gently, and then turned around and left Emei, and after going down the mountain all the way, Chu Mofeng turned over and ran towards Songshan.

At the same time, all the sects and factions in the entire Central Plains received Chu Mofeng's news, and then the Xumi of the Yuezhou Flying Sword Alliance also received Chu Mofeng's battle letter, looking at the thin challenge book in his hand, Xumi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and then began to close his eyes and recuperate.

In the middle of leap March, Chu Mofeng arrived at the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, and went straight up the mountain, Chu Mofeng met Master Zhiyuan under the leadership of the welcoming monk, and heard that Master Zhiyuan had already fought with him, Chu Mofeng immediately inquired in detail about the key points, Master Zhiyuan learned that Chu Mofeng had already written a war, and immediately carefully analyzed the scene of the day's fight to Chu Mofeng.

Then Chu Mofeng stood up, took out the burning sky behind him and handed it to Master Zhiyuan, and then respectfully saluted Master Zhiyuan and said: "Master Zhiyuan, the kid heard Master Emei Qinglian mention that the boy's blade is a pair, and the other one is said to be in the Demon Hall of your temple, today the kid dares to take out the other handle, I don't know if Master Zhiyuan can make it convenient?"

Looking at the dark burning sky in his hand, Master Zhiyuan pondered for a long time, and then slowly raised his head and said, "If the old man is not bad, His Royal Highness King Xian should have a matching armor, right?"

"It was precisely by echoing the burning sky that the armor was able to find it in Lanzhou City. Chu Mofeng nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Master Zhiyuan with some puzzlement.

I saw Master Zhiyuan return the Burning Heaven to Chu Mofeng, and then folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, everything is a cycle of cause and effect, since you came with the Burning Heaven today, then the old man allowed you to enter the Demon Hall to take out the destruction of the world, but whether you can take it out unharmed, it depends on your creation, remember that if you don't do it, you must not force it." Then Master Zhiyuan called a monk and whispered, the monk nodded and bowed to Chu Mofeng and said, "Donor, please go with the little monk to the Demon Palace." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly got up and saluted Master Zhiyuan, and then followed the monk out of the meditation room, walking in the direction of the Demon Palace, looking at Chu Mofeng's departing figure, Master Zhiyuan looked up at the sky and said slowly: "The Buddha is above, whether the disciple's actions today are right or wrong, I hope the Buddha can make it clear." After speaking, he lowered his head and recited the "Diamond Sutra" in a low voice.

When he came to the door of the Demon Palace, a breath of slaughter came to his face, and he saw the monk standing far away and said to Chu Mofeng: "Forgive me, the little monk can only send you here, and you have to go forward by yourself for the rest of the way." ”

Feeling the slight tremor of the burning sky in his hand, Chu Mofeng knew that there must be something related to the burning sky in this seemingly peaceful hall, if it was not bad, it should be the one that destroyed the world, and then Chu Mofeng stepped forward and slowly pushed open the door of the Demon Palace, as soon as the door opened, an inexplicable demon wind raged at the door, blowing up all the dust on the ground, Chu Mofeng saw this and jumped into the hall with an arrow, and then only heard a 'bang', the door of the hall closed automatically, and it was isolated from the outside world for a while.

Holding the burning sky step by step, the hall was dark, Chu Mofeng took out a fire fold and blew it up, found a candle by the faint light of the fire, and slowly lit the candle, and then gradually saw the layout in the hall by the brightness of the candle.

I saw that there were statues of the four heavenly kings standing in the main hall, each of them was lifelike, on the desk at the front of the main hall, there were a few things enshrined, because it was too far away to see what it was, Chu Mofeng had no choice but to step forward, ready to find out, who knew that at this time, a burst of piercing piano sounds suddenly sounded in the hall, like a life-seeking Sanskrit sound invaded Chu Mofeng's eardrums, Chu Mofeng saw this and put the burning sky behind his back, covering his ears with both hands, wanting to isolate this sound.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Chu Mofeng quickly stepped forward to take a look at the desk, only to see a black long knife, a dull bead, an antique piano and a yaksha-like mask on the desk, but there were no other objects that looked the same as the burning sky.

Chu Mofeng thought to himself, could it be that Aunt Qinglian remembered wrongly, and then denied his thoughts, if Master Qinglian was too wrong, then after he came to Songshan, Master Zhiyuan couldn't let people bring him to this Demon Palace, looking at the layout around the Demon Palace, in addition to these four things enshrined in the hall, there were only statues of the four heavenly kings.

Wait, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Eastern Heavenly King, the Demon Rite Haidong. Holding a jade pipa, the north is more than Wen Tianwang Demon Lihong, holding a "mixed yuan umbrella", the southern growth Heavenly King Mo Liqing, holding the Qingfeng sword, and the western wide-eyed Heavenly King Mo Lishou, holding a double whip. Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng ran straight to the statue of Mo Lishou, kicked his feet up one after another, and the whole person rushed into Mo Lishou's arms, only to see a crimson iron shovel lying here quietly, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, and picked up the iron shovel and put it behind his back, and then a volley turned over and fell to the ground, just about to run towards the outside of the hall, but suddenly looked back at the mask enshrined on the case, and immediately gritted his teeth and turned around and ran to the case, picked up the mask and ran towards the outside of the hall.

Kicking open the door of the temple, Chu Mofeng flew out with a fish, and after the whole person left the temple door, the door of the Demon Hall closed again, and the Sanskrit sound in his ears had disappeared, seeing Chu Mofeng coming out again, the monk hurriedly beckoned Chu Mofeng to come over. Looking at the mask in his hand, Chu Mofeng couldn't help laughing......

As the saying goes, the way of the other is to give back to the other, and look at the gathering of the sects of Songshan, and then look at the battle of Shaolin Baosha, want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
