When I arrived outside the city of Xiangyang, the sky was completely dark, and the city gate was closed. Seeing that there was no hope of entering the city, Wang Yuanheng remembered that there was a small monastery on the way and it was not far from here. I made up my mind and went straight to this temple. Only to find out before the temple is that this temple is not only larger, but also a horizontal plaque in the middle of the temple door is written with several large characters that have been framed with gold powder; the handwriting is strong and powerful, and the power is penetrating, I don't know which person's hand it is. Soon after knocking on the knocker, the temple door squeaked, revealing the head of a little monk about eight or nine years old, "Who? So late" Wang Yuanheng saw that the little monk was old, and it should be the little novice who was in charge of welcoming guests in the temple, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The little master is invited, he is in a hurry to stay in the next place, just because he missed the stay, he went to your temple to spend a night, please report to the little master on his behalf" The little monk did not refuse, and after a little thought, he beckoned to Wang Yuanheng, "In this case, please come with me!" Wang Yuanheng hurriedly followed her in. All the way through the hall and through the courtyard, I came to the backyard meditation hall. An old monk with white eyebrows asked Wang Yuanheng about his feelings, and immediately asked Xiao Shami to bring tea to Wang Yuanheng. In the tea room, the old monk kept staring at Wang Yuanheng's appearance, sometimes squinting his eyes slightly, as if trying his best to recall something. When he was young, after drinking tea and using the food in the temple, Wang Yuanheng was led by the old monk to the guest room to rest. There are more than a dozen guest rooms not far from the meditation hall, and there are two stout monks standing solemnly at the door of one of them, like guards in this room. The wilderness is still talked about in such a pompous way, Wang Yuanheng is quite strange. After the old monk introduced Wang Yuanheng into a guest room next to him, Wang Yuanheng found that the room was extremely clean and tidy, and even the bedding on the bed looked like it had just been changed. Seeing that the old monk was so attentive, he felt quite sorry in his heart, and gave a salute to the old monk and said, "The kid is bothered late at night, Master Lao is tired!" The old monk helped Wang Yuanheng up, and said, "Don't be polite, the monk is convenient for others and himself", and sat down on the side of the bed after speaking. Because he saw that the old monk was kind and talkative, and he was not a little sleepy at this time, Wang Yuanheng talked with him. The conversation learned that this temple was built in the period of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty and has been for two or three hundred years. At first, it was very small and had no name, but it was later expanded and renovated to the size it is today. And the old monk is also an extraordinary person, he was the former prime minister of the South Yue Kingdom before he came here, and it was only because he offended the monarch that he had nowhere to live, so he came here to settle down. Who could have such a skill to build such a huge temple in the wilderness! Wang Yuanheng was secretly speechless. After a while, the old monk who saw Wang Yuanheng yawning and walked out of the room with interest.

Early the next morning, the old monk sent clean water to Wang Yuanheng to wash, and then brought two ingots of silver to Wang Yuanheng, "You and I are really a chance to meet, the old monk has nothing else, only to offer this meager capital for you to use on the road!" Wang Yuanheng has repeatedly received the courtesy of this old monk, where will he receive him again at this moment? But after calculating the coil he has brought with him, it seems that there is not much left, and it is indeed difficult to see the old monk's enthusiasm. Then he took it with both hands, and then the boy received it, but the master was very kind, so how could the boy reciprocate?' After the old monk asked Wang Yuanheng to put away the silver, he smiled and said, "The old man does not need the donor to reciprocate, but I see that the donor's instrument is extraordinary, and he will become a great weapon one day; After seeing the old monk leave, Wang Yuanheng immediately packed up and went straight to Xiangyang City. When you enter Xiangyang City, you find that the streets here are straight and spacious, and the shops on both sides are lined up one after another. There are all kinds of pharmacies, restaurants, garment shops, and spice shops, and the road is bustling with pedestrians, mixed with the cries of hawkers, and it is a lively and prosperous scene! After walking around the city, I found that passers-by sometimes cast strange glances at me. When I looked down again, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly. It turned out that the clothes he wore when he went out were not only extremely dirty after a toss on the Vermilion Bird Peak, but also hung out a few holes, and the bamboo tube and jade staff he was holding would inevitably make people feel a little strange.

Seeing that it was almost noon and I was indeed a little hungry, I found a restaurant with simple decorations and went in. I want to eat before I go. As soon as you enter the hall, you will find that there are already several seats here. Looking at the costumes and weapons worn by them, they are all characters of the rivers and lakes, and there are several big men sitting at the table near the door. In addition to some food and wine, there are also meteor ropes, knives and other things on the table. A few people chatted while eating, all of them in a rough voice as if no one was around, and when the food rose, several people made fists again, and the wine glasses were replaced by small bowls. At a table next to it, a Taoist priest with a long beard and a thin eye, holding a dusty hand, and two children ordered some vegetarian noodles and were eating them in full swing. At the table inside sat four fresh and refined women. Although all of them are extremely pretty, the swords they hold make people feel that they are not easy to match. Thinking that this place was a little noisy, Wang Yuanheng went up to the second floor and wanted to find a table near the window to sit down. There was already a table of diners upstairs, and when he looked closely, Wang Yuanheng felt quite strange; the person in the center was tall and dignified, and his extremely luxurious clothes showed that this person was definitely not very human. Several men on the side, who are also well-dressed, have been carefully arranging and serving the people in the bureau. Looking at the popularity of this person in the middle, he should be a famous eunuch, but you can see the boldness of his drinking and the sword he wears and the blade of his companions, but it is very similar to the characters of the rivers and lakes. Seeing that the table next to them was still empty, Wang Yuanheng walked over and ordered two meals casually.

While eating, I heard someone at the adjacent table say loudly, 'Walking in the rivers and lakes, how can you be without wine?' turned his head and saw that the person in the middle of the luxurious clothes was bowing slightly to himself, "It's very boring for a brother to sit alone, how about if you don't dislike it, ask your brother to move away?" Wang Yuanheng saw that their table was full of delicacies, and then saw that he only ordered two side dishes. Do you want to go over? Seeing Wang Yuanheng hesitate, the man said, "You and I are both people who walk the rivers and lakes, why should we be so restrained!" Wang Yuanheng saw that although he was extraordinary, there was no trace of arrogance in his expression. Then he arched his hand, "In this case, I will obey my fate!" Seeing Wang Yuanheng coming, the man's companion immediately gave up a pair of chopsticks for Wang Yuanheng. When they learned that Wang Yuanheng was taught by Ma Changfeng of the Wudang faction, the man said, "Brother turned out to be a master disciple of the second hero of Wudang, and the foolish brother was disrespectful!" When asked about the person's name, he only said that his surname was Duan, the name of Dali. Others are reluctant to say more. Seeing that he was much older than himself, Wang Yuanheng felt his pride, and simply called him 'Brother Duan', and that person also called Wang Yuanheng 'Brother Wang', and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious for a while. This is the first time Wang Yuanheng has drunk alcohol since he left the rivers and lakes on his own. couldn't stand the repeated persuasion of the man's companion, coupled with the kind words of the man surnamed Duan, he unconsciously ate several cups.

While eating and drinking, a woman holding a pipa came up at the staircase with a jingling sound. This is a woman who is extremely glamorous and exudes charm from the bottom of her bones! She seems to be seducing men all the time and tugging at men's nerves. As she spoke, the woman had already come to the table of several people and giggled, "A few big men are eating wine here, and it's not too light?" After a pause, she said, "If the masters are not noisy, the little woman is willing to present a song for the masters; Hearing this, the man surnamed Duan stood up and arched his hand, "Thanks to the girl's kindness, there is such a labor girl!" After the woman sat down, she began to talk. He sang: A sword fluttering, a lifetime of laughter and pride; A sword flutters, the human affection is insignificant, the heroes take care of each other, and the children of the rivers and lakes are getting fewer and fewer. The heart is still there, the people are gone, looking back at the wind and rain, and the song is passed on to the old world, and the water is far away and the mountains are high for a lifetime...... The voice is clear and high-pitched, melodious and agitated, and the aftermath is endless. After singing a song, everyone applauded. Suddenly, a companion of a man surnamed Duan shouted, 'No! This woman is strange, the lord be careful!' After finishing speaking, he drew his knife and slashed at the woman in the seat. The woman immediately changed her weak and coquettish attitude just now, picked up the lute and faced the knife, but with one hand, a string broke in response to the finger, and shot out like a steel needle, hitting the center of the man's eyebrows.

The man surnamed Duan also felt that it seemed wrong at this time, and he felt that his internal strength was not sustainable. Twilight thought of someone, and said sharply, "Your Excellency, could it be the 'Qin Saint Poison Demon' in the 'Four Saints of the Demon Domain'?" The woman straightened her clothes and said coldly: "Yes! The old lady is the Spring Twelve Niang! Today fell into my hands, you can just accept your fate!" As soon as these words came out, the man surnamed Duan and the other companions immediately took their weapons and surrounded the woman. The woman was not flustered, she played it with her hand, and several broken strings came out of her hand, stabbing the people in front of her one by one. Seeing this, the man surnamed Duan screamed and rushed to the woman. But in front of him, a person had already fallen into front of the table. 'Ghost Saint!' Wang Yuanheng exclaimed. The man surnamed Duan also seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly lucked his arm and poked at the person with one finger. But where there is a trace of internal force. The person who came was none other than the 'Ghost Saint' in the 'Four Saints of the Demon Domain'. After glancing at everyone, he smiled sadly and said, "Great, wonderful, all the people you want to find are here," and his eyes fell on the jade staff in Wang Yuanheng's hand, and he was about to reach out and grab it. The gesture was extremely fast, but in Wang Yuanheng's eyes, it was extremely slow. He flashed his body and kicked the 'Ghost Saint' to the ground with a flying kick. Seeing this, the Spring Twelve Niang on the side immediately fired five fingers in succession, and several strings shot like arrows off the strings. Wang Yuanheng dodged unhurriedly and dodged, and also played his fingers continuously, flicking the strings that came one by one.

'Good skills!' shouted the man surnamed Duan. Wang Yuanheng hurriedly arched his hand to him. Just as he was about to answer, the man surnamed Duan suddenly changed his face, and immediately felt a strong wind hit the back of his head. It turned out that the 'ghost saint' who fell to the ground saw that the two of them were polite, where was he willing to let go of such a good opportunity, that is, he took out the ghost claws and used exquisite tricks to attack Wang Yuanheng's head. But he forgot the sentence 'Shibei should be impressed in three days', and Wang Yuanheng at this time didn't look good, so he fell down, kicked his leg out from an incredible position, and kicked the 'ghost saint' to the ground. Although Wang Yuanheng avoided the blow from the back of the head of the 'Ghost Saint' just now, a large piece of his shirt was also scratched off by his ghost claws. Suddenly revealed a delicate jade hanging around his neck. This time, the 'Ghost Saint' learned a lesson, and after standing up, he did not directly attack Wang Yuanheng, but jumped downstairs after making a false move. "Eliminate the evil, Brother Wang, chase!" The voice of the man surnamed Duan on the side reminded Wang Yuanheng. A little nervous, and quickly turned over and went downstairs. At this time, the hall was already in chaos. I saw that the four beautiful women who were sitting in a corner before were fighting around a man with a withered face at this moment. The men who were surrounded were extremely skilled, and although the four women were superb in swordsmanship, they were well guarded. But the thin man relied on his strange body to swim in and out of the sword formation of the four women, flickering and moving, and making obscene moves, and at the same time kept saying some foul language in his mouth. In a short time, a woman cried out, 'Wicked thief, if you dare to be frivolous, I will condemn my master and tear you to pieces!'

But the man didn't care, and still played foul language. But then Chun Twelve Niang, who came later, was overjoyed when she saw this person, and shouted very loudly, "Mr. Gongsun, it would be nice if you could come!" When the thin man heard this, he immediately stopped his figure, looked at the panting Chun Twelve Niang and asked, "How are things going?" Chun Twelve Niang pointed at Wang Yuanheng and said, "This person is extremely piercing, please Mr. Please be sure to capture this person!" The thin man is the ** in the 'Four Saints of the Demon Domain', 'Mr. Hehe', Gongsun He. This person's martial arts were originally mediocre, but his body and light skills were extremely high; because of his lustful nature, he believed that he was the best in the world in light skills, and often did some stealing jade and incense in the martial arts, and kidnapping women from good families. Although the righteous people in the rivers and lakes have long had the intention to eradicate this person, how can this person's high body law come and go without a trace, and he can't help him. At this moment, the 'Ghost Saint' on the side saw Gongsun He and the four girls fighting endlessly, and he also joined the battle group in a flash. At the beginning of the four women, the unity of the four women was already overstretched, and at this time, with the addition of a ghost saint, it was even more unbearable; Suddenly, the purple-clothed woman, the youngest of the four women, shouted, "Who are you and the other rats?" who dare to form a bond with my Baiyun City, and he will definitely show my master one day, and kill you and others, and crush your bones and scatter ashes!' After a few more combinations, two of the four women were already unable to move by the acupoints, and the remaining two women resisted hard, but they were not together, and they were also knocked to the ground by the ghost saint who locked their weapons.
