Liu Yong hurt Li Qiufeng, and he was sorry in his heart. At this time, I saw that the coffin suddenly moved, for fear that Li Qiufeng would lose. After Murong Danyan jumped up, Liu Yong's figure flashed, and he also threw himself towards the coffin on the platform. His martial arts are far above Murong Danyan, he is the first to come, before Murong Danyan, his right arm is concentrated with internal force, and the long sword is like a dragon, stabbing straight towards the huge ebony coffin.

Li Qiufeng had already noticed a strange sound behind him, but he was injured internally, and his body was slightly sluggish when he turned. He saw Liu Yong and Murong Danyan flying over, and the two long swords pointed behind him, knowing that something must have happened before and after. Seeing the opportunity, he threw himself forward, jumped straight under the platform, and turned in mid-air, facing the ebony coffin.

Hearing only a "bang", the coffin lid had already flown out, and the "moonlight" shone into the coffin through the big hole in the caisson of the main hall. Immediately afterwards, a gray shadow suddenly stood up from the coffin and was facing the two long swords of Liu Yong and Murong Danyan.

Liu Yong and Murong Danyan threw themselves on the coffin left and right. Both of them were swordsmanship masters, and when the long sword stabbed out, the blade of the sword rattled, stabbing the man's left and right temples.

From the strange sound of the coffin lid to the figure standing up from the coffin, it was nothing more than a matter of lightning. Li Qiufeng turned his body upside down and fell under the platform, and he could see that the person in the coffin was wearing a gray robe, but the head was a skull, two black eye holes, and teeth protruding beyond the face, which looked terrifying.

When Liu Yong and Murong Danyan's two long swords stabbed from the left and right, they saw that the skeleton's hands were stretched out, holding Liu Yong's and Murong Danyan's long swords on the left and right. Li Qiufeng could see it clearly, those two hands were also completely muscular, and they were all white bones.

The long sword in the hands of Liu Yong and Murong Danyan was held by the skeleton, as if piercing into a rock, and they could no longer move. The bodies of the two of them were in mid-air, and at the same time they urged internal force, but the tip of the sword seemed to be holding a thousand catties of boulders, and they couldn't move forward for half a minute.

As soon as Li Qiufeng's body hit the ground, he bounced up again, and flew straight to the platform, cutting the neck of the skeleton with the embroidered spring knife in his hand.

At this time, Qingfeng Dao people and others also came to their senses, and saw that Liu Yong and Murong Danyan's long swords were caught by the skeleton, and they had no basis for advancing and retreating, and it was extremely dangerous. hurriedly drew their swords and pounced on the platform. Qingfeng Dao thought secretly in his heart: "Fang just started with Liu Yong, it was really out of helplessness, and looking at his appearance, it was not a sneak attack on him, but I was afraid that there would be a great misunderstanding." I used the swordsmanship of restraining the Huashan faction, and he must have seen the reason, but he was afraid that he would have a suspicion. I have to do my best to make amends, so that the misunderstanding does not go further. With this in mind, he stabbed his sword straight into the left side of the skeleton before they did.

These people are all famous heroes in the rivers and lakes, and they are attacking at the same time at this moment, how amazing. The skeleton didn't realize it, the two palms full of dry bones pushed left and right, Liu Yong and Murong Danyan were in the air, there was no place to borrow power, only felt a strong surge, and the two of them couldn't help but fly out.

Liu Yong flipped two heels upside down and landed firmly on the ground. Seeing that the crowd had already crowded to the platform, and was swinging the blade in his hand to attack the skeleton, he naturally refused to lag behind, and with a wave of the sword in his right hand, he was about to pounce on it to help.

At this time, a hand suddenly stopped in front of him, and then someone whispered: "Mr. Liu, move slowly, you can't beat him!"

Liu Yong was stunned, turned his head to look, but saw that the person was Situ Qiao. He sank in his heart and said, "Mr. Situ, what do you think?"

Situ Qiao looked at the skeleton and said in a deep voice: "He is not a human, he is a puppet made by Yao Guangxiao, driven by medicine. You besiege such a monster, even if you slash and stab him, you can't hurt him. ”

Liu Yong looked up, only to see the blades in Qunhao's hands beckoning to the skeleton. It's just that the skeleton seemed to have eyes around it, and two deadwood-like palms swirled like flying, blocking all the swords of the heroes. After a while, he grabbed the wooden stick in Deng Yao's hand and snatched it into his arms. Deng Yao only felt a strong pull, his hands shook violently, and the wooden stick could no longer be held, and with a "whew", the wooden stick had been taken away from Deng Yao by the skeleton. Deng Yao's arms were sore, his palms trembled, and he hurriedly put his two hands in front of his eyes. Through the moonlight shining overhead, I saw a long blood streak on each palm, which was caused by the friction of the wooden stick when it was pulled away by the skeleton. Deng Yao was horrified, and involuntarily took two steps back, but unexpectedly, he was already standing on the edge of the platform, and when he retreated, his right foot stepped into the air, and he fell to the ground with his back facing the sky.

With Deng Yao's martial arts, if he stumbles and steps into the air, he will naturally be able to turn his body with light skills and fall to the ground smoothly. Even if you accidentally fall to the ground, it is not a big deal. It's just that at this moment, he was terrified in his heart, his hands and feet were at a loss, and when he fell from the platform, his whole body was stiff, and when he fell down, he was head-down, hitting the gold bricks on the ground. By the time he realized something was wrong, his head was less than half a foot off the ground, and he couldn't turn his body around. His heart was cold, and he had to close his eyes and wait for death.

Seeing that his head was about to hit the gold brick, he suddenly felt a tight ankle on his right foot, and it was firmly grasped, and his body fell immediately, and his head was less than two inches from the gold brick on the ground. Then the person who grabbed Deng Yao's ankle lifted it hard, and at the same time reached out to support Deng Yao's waist, and turned Deng Yao's body upside down. Deng Yao took the opportunity to exert force on his waist and stood firmly on the ground.

Deng Yao escaped death and hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that it was Lin Yilang, the head of the Songshan faction, who saved his life. He clasped his hands into fists and said to Lin Yilang: "Thank you for saving your life." ”

Lin Yilang waved his hand and said, "The leader of the Deng Gang is serious. Fang Cai was offended, and asked Gang Master Deng not to be surprised. ”

Deng Yao was stunned, not knowing what Lin Yilang meant by this. Lin Yilang saw that he was dazed, and then said: "Don't hide it, just now I suddenly saw Situ Qiao sneak attack on me, and I drew my sword to fight back in a hurry." At that time, the hall was dim, I fought with Situ Qiao for fifty or sixty moves, and I was about to succeed, when someone suddenly let out a scream, I woke up, but found that the opponent was not Situ Qiao, but the Deng gang leader, God forbid that I did not hurt you, otherwise my sin would be great. ”

Deng Yao knew that it was Lin Yilang who had just fought with him, and when he heard his words, he was quite apologetic, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Master Lin, don't hide it, I also treat you as Situ Qiao, I want to take your life when I make a move, and I have used a lot of vicious tricks, and I ask Master Lin not to blame." ”

When the two were talking, Murong Danyan had already joined the battle group and stabbed the skeleton three times, but they were all blocked by the skeleton with a wave of his hand. When this skeleton is blocked, it seems that every move is a casual wave, but the power is extremely great. Murong Danyan was blocked out of three swords one after another, and the fourth sword was about to be stabbed, only to feel that his right arm was sore, the long sword could be pierced, his wrist could no longer hold the long sword, the tip of the sword hung down, and he knew that he was powerless to attack, so he had to take a step back.

Liu Yong saw that although Qunhao was besieging the skeleton, he was forced to be in a hurry by the skeleton, and he was anxious, and said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ, is this thing a human or a ghost? How can a skeleton be so powerful?"

Situ Qiao said: "This thing is not a human, nor is it a ghost. Mr. Liu wants to come and hear the legend of the Eighteen Bronze People and Wooden Man Lane of Shaolin Temple?"

Liu Yong nodded and said, "It's just that this is a legend of the rivers and lakes, no one has ever seen these eighteen bronze people, and no one has broken through Muren Alley......"

Situ Qiao didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then hurriedly said: "It's not a legend. Some people have seen eighteen bronze men, and some people have even forced themselves into Muren Alley, but these people are already dead. ”

The legend of the eighteen bronze men of Shaolin Temple is widely spread in the rivers and lakes, and some people say that the so-called eighteen bronze men refer to the eighteen masters of Shaolin Temple. These eighteen masters study the martial arts of the Shaolin School in the Dharma Academy on weekdays, and unless the Shaolin Temple reaches a critical juncture where it is in danger of extinction, they will definitely not make a move. It's just that a more well-known saying is that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Shaolin Temple had the credit of "thirteen stick monks to save the Tang King", and Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, invited skilled craftsmen to create eighteen bronze Arhats for Shaolin Temple. These eighteen Arhats are driven by mechanisms, and each bronze Arhat can practice a set of martial arts mastery of Shaolin Temple. Eighteen bronze Arhats can be arranged into an eighteen Arhat array, if someone breaks into the array, it is like one person facing the eighteen Shaolin Temple top masters. And these eighteen Arhats are cast in brass, invulnerable, and who is the enemy in the world? Therefore, according to legend, these eighteen bronze Arhats are placed in the secret room of the Arhat Hall of the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, if the Shaolin Temple suffers a disaster, the monks can retreat into the secret room under the Arhat Hall, and resist the enemy with the eighteen Arhats, and the whole temple can be safe. As for whether these eighteen bronze figures refer to eighteen martial arts masters, or whether there are really eighteen bronze arhats, no one can say clearly. Although most of the leaders of the major gangs in the rivers and lakes are friendly with the Shaolin Temple, this matter involves the secrets of the Shaolin Temple, and the gang leaders and heads of the gangs naturally know the severity, and it is not easy to ask the head of the Shaolin Temple and the first master of each hall and courtyard. However, the evil characters in the rivers and lakes are afraid of the martial arts and prestige of the Shaolin Temple, and they do not dare to provoke the Shaolin Temple. For hundreds of years, although the legend of the eighteen bronze men has made a lot of noise in the rivers and lakes, the Shaolin Temple neither admits nor denies it, and no one can tell the truth of this legend.

As for Woodman Alley, it is an extremely bizarre legend. It is said that in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and there were often rebel soldiers who came to the foot of Songshan Mountain to loot. The people suffered from the chaos and thieves, so they fled to the Shaolin Temple for refuge. In order to protect these people, and also to prevent the Shaolin Temple from being harassed by thieves and soldiers, the Shaolin Temple selected 72 monks with strong martial arts as monks to protect the temple, and they were divided into shifts every day and took turns to patrol around the Shaolin Temple. Although the monks of Shaolin Temple practice martial arts, they are not the princes of one side after all, so they naturally cannot hide armor and weapons privately. It is based on the Shaolin Temple to use rattan and wooden planks to tie the monks to serve as armor and swords. It's just that the Shaolin monks and soldiers are strong in martial arts, and they all take one as a hundred, and it doesn't matter much whether this rattan armor is there or not. Later, Shaolin Temple Tanzong and other thirteen stick monks at the foot of Song Mountain, met Wang Shichong's general Shan Xiongxin led the army and martial arts masters to chase and kill Qin King Li Shimin, Shaolin monks joined forces to resist the enemy, killed the martial arts masters led by Shan Xiongxin, and guarded the mountain pass, with thirteen people to resist Shan Xiongxin's five thousand military horses, until the Tang Army General Chi Gong led the army to arrive, repelled Shan Xiongxin, and protected Li Shimin's safety. After Li Shimin became the emperor, he issued an edict to reward the monks of Shaolin Temple and allowed Shaolin Temple to raise monks. The system of these seventy-two monks and soldiers has been handed down. Later, seventy-two talented and intelligent monks were selected in the temple, and each of them practiced a Shaolin Temple's martial arts, which was collectively known as the Shaolin Temple's seventy-two stunts. And these seventy-two monks wore rattan wooden armor and formed a formation. When the monks in the Shaolin Temple are successful in martial arts, they must break out of the wooden alley composed of these seventy-two monks before they can be regarded as a master. It's just that this legend is false and real, I don't know whether it's true or not, and the monks of Shaolin Temple have never admitted that there is such a wooden array.

Liu Yong, as a master of the Huashan School, has always been friendly with the host of Shaolin Temple and the first masters, and he is also quite interested in the eighteen bronze people and the wooden man lane. It's just that he respects his identity, so naturally he won't ask Shaolin Temple about this. At this time, when I heard Situ Qiao say that there were really eighteen bronze people and wooden people in Shaolin Temple, I couldn't help but move, and said: "These eighteen bronze people and wooden people are not driven by mechanisms?"
