Chapter 4 Dangerous Theft

Jiang Yuan took Li Qing to the small courtyard, and as soon as the two of them climbed the wall, they found that the atmosphere in the courtyard was a little tense. There are enough lights in the room, it seems that they are discussing something, the courtyard has strengthened the guard, and several minions are standing at the door and in the corridor respectively, Jiang Yuan secretly said that it is not good, I am afraid that I will come for nothing tonight. Li Qingyun listened carefully, shook his head, and told Jiang Yuan that the people in the house were very cautious, and their voices were very low, so that they couldn't hear a word. Jiang Yuan was annoyed, didn't they leave traces last night and were discovered by them?

Just when the two of them were discouraged, the door opened, and the monk and the other four people that Jiang Yuan saw yesterday came out, explained a few words to a few minions, and went out in the direction of Zhongnan Mountain. Jiang Yuan and Li Qing quietly followed, wanting to see what these people were going to do. Along the way, Jiang Yuan asked Li Qing about the origin of these people, Li Qing was a few years older than Jiang Yuan, and naturally had more knowledge, and explained to Jiang Yuan as he walked: The burly monk, named Kong Zhi, was originally a Tibetan monk, and he did not dare to return to the mountain because he had committed the killing precept, so he was exiled to the Central Plains, absorbed by the Liuhe Gang, and became a law enforcement elder. This person has very high martial arts and a thirst for killing, so it is not suitable to go head-to-head. The woman does not know the origin, only know that the Liuhe Gang called her the green snake, it is said that she was robbed by mountain bandits when she was a child, and the family died unexpectedly, fortunately the Liuhe Gang leader passed by and saved her life, since then she has followed the Liuhe Gang with all her heart, and the Liuhe Gang Leader also attaches great importance to it, personally teaching her martial arts, plus she is talented, diligent and hardworking, and her strength should not be underestimated. The thin middle-aged man named Zhao 13 was an outcast of the Swallow Gate, and when he was still in the Swallow Gate, he just attacked without saying a word, killed six junior brothers and betrayed the sect, and was a gentleman on the Liang Dynasty for more than ten years, and later joined the Liuhe Gang for some reason when it was rising rapidly, responsible for collecting news for the Liuhe Gang, and his people were ruthless and ruthless. The fourth person Jiang Yuan didn't see clearly the night before was named Kou Ying, this person's origin is unknown, he rarely makes a move, and he doesn't know the details.

Jiang Yuan gasped after hearing what Li Qing said, and said: "No wonder the Liuhe Gang can quickly rise in Jiangnan, so the plan to recruit masters must be not small, is it possible that they plan to squeeze out Shaolin and Chongyang Palace and other sects, and dominate the rivers and lakes?" If this momentum continues, I am afraid that the Liuhe Gang will become the largest gang in the world in more than ten years at most. "If they act like this, won't they shoot the entire martial arts group and attack?" Jiang Yuan was a little confused. Li Qing said: "It's hard to speculate on this matter, I think there is some reliance behind it." ”

The two of them whispered while following closely behind the Liuhe Gang, only to see the four people come to a wall on the east side of Chongyang Palace, and after observing around, they jumped into the courtyard in turn. Jiang Yuan hadn't been here during the day, so he turned around and asked Li Qing: "What kind of place is this?" Li Qing quietly climbed the courtyard wall, observed it, and said: "This seems to be the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Chongyang Palace, and it is said that the treasure of Chongyang Palace's Zhenjiao "Innate Gong" is placed here. Jiang Yuan also climbed the top of the wall, and while observing the movements of the four people, he asked, "Could it be that the Liuhe Gang has any thoughts about the 'Innate Gong'? If the 'Innate Gong' is really here, then how can it be left unguarded here? This is unreasonable." It's no wonder that Jiang Yuan feels strange, although the "Innate Gong" is the world's first-class internal martial arts, but the practice is quite exquisite, beginners learn very slowly, practice for more than ten years or a little success, but if you really want to occupy a place among the martial arts heroes, it will take at least twenty or thirty years, and cultivators need to practice diligently for decades. More importantly, "Innate Gong" is originally an evolution of Taoist classics, which requires practitioners to maintain a peaceful heart at all times in practice. This is also the reason why only a few of the disciples of each generation of Chongyang Palace are allowed to practice the "Innate Gong". For hundreds of years, there has been no shortage of martial idiots who regard martial arts as their lives, invincible demons and vengeful strongmen, but very few people have the idea of "Innate Gong", for them, the practice is slow, and the "Innate Gong" that needs to forbid seven emotions and six desires is far inferior to "Yijin Jing" and "Tiangang Qi Decision". Li Qing explained: "It's not necessarily that they are here for "Innate Gong". There are not only "Innate Gong" in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but also the experience and essays of the past dynasties, these things are much stronger than an internal skill for the top masters!" Looking at the experience of the predecessors, it is like sitting with others and discussing the Tao, which can not only confirm each other, but also improve oneself. These experiences can be said to be the greatest inheritance left by the successive generations of masters, if it is really obtained by the Liuhe gang leader, it is not difficult to imagine what will happen on the rivers and lakes.

Jiang Yuan and Li Qing glanced at each other, ready to stop the actions of the Liuhe Gang at any time. At this moment, there was a loud noise in the Tibetan scripture building, and I saw that the great monk was slapped out, and a middle-aged Taoist with a long beard fluttering, holding the dust upside down, walked out of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and said: "I really have gained knowledge, what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods dare to come to Chongyang Palace to make trouble? Although Kong Zhi received a slap from him just now, he didn't panic at the moment, protected the Zen staff horizontally in front of his chest, took the menacing palm, took a few steps back, and made a defensive posture. Li Qing explained to Jiang Yuan in a low voice: "This Taoist is surnamed Sun, he is the second disciple of Ma Zhenren, and he is also the junior disciple of the current head of the sect, and he can be called a first-class master in the world. I saw that Sun Jinyu inserted the dust into his waist, and pulled out his long sword with his backhand, and pointed Bai Hong through the sun and pointed directly at Kong Zhi's throat, Kong Zhi raised his Zen staff to parry, and the two fought together. Sun Daochang is worthy of being the personal disciple of the head of Chongyang Palace, his sword moves are sharp and free, and his empty wisdom is not weak, although he is obviously defeated, he still has offense and defense, and he has relied on hard work, so that Sun Daochang can not win quickly. The other three members of the Liuhe Gang heard the sound of fighting outside, and Green Snake and Kou Ying quickly came to support, and the three surrounded Sun Daochang in the middle, but they didn't dare to make a move. The three of them glanced at each other, this old Taoist is extraordinary, and the help of Chongyang Palace is close at hand, if he can't take it quickly, once he drags him down, it will be difficult to retreat to the whole body.

When the three of them were in a dilemma, a whistle sounded on the second floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and a figure quickly rushed out, it was Zhao Shisan, and the four members of the Liuhe Gang were in one place, no longer paying attention to Sun Daochang, and used light skills to climb over the wall, and disappeared into the vast night after a while. That Sun Daochang didn't know what he was thinking, so he stood where he was and let the four of them leave. This is very strange, the owner lost something, did not chase the thief, did not scold, but stayed where he was.

Jiang Yuan was shocked: "These four people must have already succeeded, and Sun Daochang actually didn't even care about his own family's treasures, and let others steal it?

The sudden change made the two confused, and after discussing for a while, the two decided to chase down and see what was going on.

Daoist Sun stood in the courtyard for a while, and then said, "Why is this? Could it be that I can't keep a secret book in Chongyang Palace?" A person slowly walked out of the Golden Pavilion, it was Ma Daochang's first apprentice, the current head of Chongyang Palace, Xu Yuanyi. Xu Daochang sighed and said, "Master has this will, you and I should do our best to complete it." The book "Song Wu Cheats" is very important, if the news is released, I am afraid that it will be more than one Liuhe Gang who has made up his mind. ”

At the end of the Song Dynasty, the martial arts withered, and all factions were suppressed by the Yuan court, so many classics were not inherited, and most of them have been lost. Later, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there were rumors in the rivers and lakes that at the end of the Song Dynasty, there were knights from all walks of life who gathered in Lin'an Mansion, and compiled all kinds of peerless learning at that time into a book, which recorded in detail the peak of martial arts in that era.

Xu Daochang said again: "When the master was alive, he didn't dare to leak half a cent of the news of this book in Chongyang Palace, for fear that Chongyang Palace would be besieged by martial arts after his death. After he passed away, he had to try his best to send this book out of Chongyang Palace, but this book would be a scourge sooner or later, so it could be regarded as a disaster for Jiangdong. ”

Sun Daochang remembered the appearance of his master's thousands of instructions before his death, and his heart was not happy, and he said, "Since this book is a scourge, why don't we destroy it?"

Xu Dao said: "Master reads that it is the brainchild of his predecessors, and there is only one in the world, and he can't bear to destroy it." ...... I can't bear it either. ”

Guarding the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion tonight are Sun Daochang and Xu Daochang. Sun Daochang is in the light, and Xu Daochang is in the dark. Poor Zhao Shisan, every move was monitored by Xu Daochang and he didn't notice it, but he didn't touch other classics, otherwise he would have been killed by Xu Daochang on the spot.

Xu Daochang looked at the direction where Jiang Yuan and the others went, and muttered to himself, "Who are the two who went later?"
